Does Count Vladimir want to punish those who don't give face? Definitely. If he could, he would wield a 40-meter machete to let those guys know what it means to cut grass unparalleled.
It's just that Count Vladimir's 40-meter machete is actually not even four centimeters long. At most, it is a small fruit knife that is only slightly stronger than a nail clipper. The damage it can cause is really limited.
For example, after learning that all the major banks had "declined" his loan request, he issued an order at the City Defense Headquarters, asking the City Defense Army to dispatch forces to give those guys who didn't give face a little color and show them what it means to show the power of a tiger.
.
But what made Count Vladimir very embarrassed was that he did not wait for the apology and repentance from those people, but instead waited for the notice from the Gendarmerie Headquarters.
"Why does he arrest my people?!"
Count Vladimir was very angry. He really didn't expect that it was Li Xiao who did bad things, because Li Xiao, the commander of the military police, had such a low sense of existence that most people would subconsciously ignore his existence.
Arkady replied carefully: "The gendarmerie headquarters said that someone called the police, saying that the city defense army was extorting money and disrupting public order..."
Count Vladimir's expression suddenly changed, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. After a long time, he said: "It seems I have to go to the Gendarmerie Headquarters!"
Count Vladimir was very aware of Li Xiao's existence, but he would unconsciously ignore Li Xiao's existence. From his public identity, Li Xiao was the Grand Duke of the Empire and was much more noble than him, but everyone knew that he, the Grand Duke, was related to
Nicholas I did not deal with it, and that was actually the case.
Count Vladimir, on the other hand, is just the opposite. His public identity is just a little count, a big-ass little guy, but in private everyone knows who he is and who protects him.
Let's put it this way, Count Vladimir feels that he is a hundred times stronger than Li Xiao, and he believes that he can restrain the other party.
"Your Excellency, the purpose of my visit is very simple, which is to bring my people back."
Unlike Count Vladimir, Li Xiao didn't actually know this so-called cousin very well. He had only heard of some of his deeds occasionally, and none of them were good, so naturally he had no impression of him.
"no!"
Li Xiao calmly but firmly rejected Count Vladimir's request, which shocked the latter. He felt that if he came in person, the other party would have to pay for it, because it was impossible for the other party not to know who was behind him.
Suddenly Count Vladimir became anxious: "Why?!"
Li Xiao was still so calm but could not refuse and replied: "Because they violated military discipline and must accept punishment! This is the rule!"
Count Vladimir's expression suddenly became very interesting. He looked a little disbelieving and a little angry. He blurted out: "They are city defense troops. Even if they violate military discipline, I will be responsible for it. With you..."
Li Xiao made him speechless with just one sentence: "This is the military police headquarters! Do you know what the military police do?"
Count Vladimir said again: "But!"
"There are no buts. I will arrest anyone who violates discipline. The rules are that simple! If there is nothing else, you can leave. I will help you discipline your subordinates and let them know what discipline is!"
Count Vladimir's nose was so angry that he was kicked out and immediately yelled: "What the hell! Just a bastard! He dared to hide in Wallachia with five people and six people. If he were in St. Petersburg, I would have to do it."
Let him walk around without being able to eat!"
Arkady on the side did not say anything, because he had heard too many similar words recently. Count Vladimir's mantra was almost the same as in St. Petersburg, let someone wait and see.
To be honest, it makes me boring to talk too much. Because this is indeed not St. Petersburg but Bucharest. You were a real dragon that could turn over rivers and oceans in St. Petersburg, but you still have to deal with it here. You have to recognize whether the situation is good or not.
It's just that Count Vladimir had no intention of recognizing the situation clearly. After hitting a snag with Li Xiao, he refused to give up and began to order the city defense troops to find trouble with the military police. However, this time, his order was blocked.
Yang followed Yin and violated the law.
"Take it easy! Don't seek death!"
"If you can, ask for leave. If you can, pretend to be sick. Don't go to work these days!"
The city defense army can't say anything to Count Vladimir internally. The reason is very simple. It's not a big problem to go to those bankers. At worst, they can just shirk the blame and say it was Count Vladimir's order.
.
If you make trouble with the Gendarmerie Headquarters, the consequences will be very serious. Anyone who has stayed in Wallachia for a long time will know that the Gendarmerie Headquarters is very difficult to mess with. It can be said to be the most powerful organization in Wallachia.
Moreover, this time the Gendarmerie Headquarters made it clear that it was working for Governor Alexei. Finding quarrels with the Gendarmerie Headquarters was tantamount to challenging the Governor, which would bring good results.
There had been rumors before that the governor was going to beat up Count Vladimir. Now it seems that it is not groundless. Who dares to interfere in this kind of fight between gods? It is definitely better to hide!
Therefore, Count Vladimir, who wanted revenge, was very embarrassed, because he waited and waited but could not wait for the moment when Li Xiao surrendered. All he waited for was reminder letters from creditors.
"Damn! These vampires!" Count Vladimir threw the letter to the floor in annoyance and roared: "What does such a small amount of money mean? When my friends send the money, I will definitely return it to you! As for this
Urgent!"
Count Vladimir felt more embarrassed than ever before. He swore that after he paid off his debt, he would never patronize these bastards' shops again, and they would never want to do his business again.
"No letter from St. Petersburg yet?"
Arkady spread his hands. He ran to the post office every day, just waiting for life-saving money from St. Petersburg. But more than half a month had passed. Logically speaking, the express letter should have arrived, but why was there no news?
Sometimes Arkady wonders if his boss is just trying to make a fool of himself. Maybe he doesn’t have that much respect at all, and no one is willing to lend him money to help him out. Otherwise, how could there be no news from him?
Actually, it's not that there has been no news. Li Xiao had long expected that Count Vladimir would ask for help from St. Petersburg, so he paid special attention to the news there. The postal department of Wallachia was actually completely controlled by the Gendarmerie Headquarters and the Governor's Palace.
Under control, withholding a few letters that are not so urgent is just a drizzle!
