Struggle in Russia

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】 【】

Mordvichev naturally attracted the attention of the Ministry of Justice. After all, the third part is not a kidnapper, and it is impossible to arrest people without saying hello.

Of course, even if the kidnapper takes the meat ticket, he still has to hesitate, otherwise who will ask for the ransom?

What Li Xiao is doing now is actually not much different from kidnapping, except that he is a little more powerful than the kidnapper, leaving the kidnapped party helpless.

"Are you sure it's the person arrested in Part 3?"

The new Minister of Justice Mikhail Petrovich Minih looked at Mordvichev's secretary with a very unkind look, which made the latter feel a lot of pressure.

"Yes, Your Excellency. The other party claims to be the director of the Third Department in St. Petersburg."

Minih frowned. Of course he knew that the director of the third department in St. Petersburg was Li Xiao, but he couldn't figure out why the other party suddenly attacked his people. Logically speaking, the reformists should not provoke him at this time.

"Did he tell you the reason for arresting Viscount Mordwitchev?" Minih asked angrily.

"He said that Viscount Mordwitchev was suspected of malfeasance and accepting bribes..."

Minih said impatiently: "Is that all? Did he say anything else?"

The secretary shook his head weakly: "I was already under control when they arrested Viscount Mordwitchev. I don't know what the situation was at that time."

This is actually a lie. The secretary was actually outside the door when Viscount Mordwitchev was arrested. He witnessed the conversation between Li Xiao and Viscount Mordwitchev, so he naturally knew the real reason here.

It's just that he is very clear-headed. He is just a little secretary. He really has no guts to get involved in the fairy fight between the reformists and the conservatives. Some things are best pretended not to have seen them, otherwise trouble will continue.

Minih looked at the secretary but didn't say anything. Of course he knew what Viscount Mordwitchev was going to Witkin's salon for, wasn't it just to make extra money. This kind of gray transaction is enjoyed by many heads of the Ministry of Justice, and it is also the main source of income for the Ministry of Justice.

When doing this kind of gray transaction, he must not treat outsiders, but it stands to reason that his own secretary should belong to his confidants. Could it be that the transaction Viscount Mordwitchev wants to make this time is special? Which one is completely invisible to the light and requires a high degree of confidentiality?

Thinking of this, Minih asked: "Who is the Viscount making a deal with this time?"

The secretary immediately replied: "Baron Blokhin."

Minih blurted out: "That Baron Blokhin from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

The secretary nodded immediately: "Yes, that's him! It was he who reported Viscount Mordwitchev!"

Minihe clicked his tongue. To be honest, it gave him a toothache. He felt more and more that this matter was a bit strange. Of course he knew what Blokhin did, that is, he was an intermediary broker, relying on various connections and connections to make a living.

People like him value their reputation very much and would not do anything like reporting. But the little secretary looked like he was lying, and this kind of lie could be exposed with just a quick check. Unless the little secretary wanted to die, he couldn't be so stupid.

If it is really Viscount Mordwitchev who was reported by Blokhin, then this thing would be too strange!

Minih is a cautious person. With his status as the Minister of Justice, he relies on being careful in everything. He will never offend anyone as long as he can, and he is absolutely single-minded and honest if he can be a good gentleman. What he fears most is getting into trouble.

But what is very unfriendly to him is that Russia is currently in a troubled state, with a lot of troubles, and the Ministry of Justice is at the center of the whirlpool of troubles, and he can't escape even if he wants to.

After thinking about it again and again, he decided to go get some information first to see the situation. So he immediately went to find old Adlerberg.

"Count, you have to help me. What does this sudden incident in the third part of St. Petersburg mean?"

Old Adlerberg was also a little surprised, because there were no signs at all. The Reform Party was quite polite to the Ministry of Justice before and basically followed the rules. Why was it suddenly stabbed?

Is this accidental or intentional?

If it is just an isolated incident, there is no need to pay attention to it, it is just an accident. But if someone does it on purpose, there's too much to say.

As an old fox in the officialdom, old Adlerberg's sense of smell was not particularly sensitive. He subconsciously thought that this might be some kind of sign!

And this sign indicates that the next actions of the reformists will undergo huge changes. If they cannot cope with this change well, then they may suffer big losses!

Suddenly he said seriously: "Please explain the whole story carefully!"

Seeing that old Adlerberg was so cautious, Minih felt even more uneasy, and immediately repeated what the secretary said.

Old Adlerberg rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then asked seriously: "Are you sure it was Blokhin who reported you?"

Minih nodded.

Old Adlerberg frowned and said: "It doesn't make sense! I know that guy, he just wants to make a living by making matchmaking, so there's no reason to ruin his own job? There must be something wrong here! Don't worry, I'll go check it out. check!"

It has to be said that the old fox has a wide range of contacts, and he quickly found out the relevant information. Only then did he know that the source of the matter lies with the Ministry of Justice.

"You are too harsh when you open your mouth. It's a bad rule for a lion to open his mouth!" Old Adlerberg scolded him angrily: "That Watkin is the brother of Baron Blokhin's mistress. You are so ruthless when it comes to money." , can he not have any resentment?"

Minih is a little embarrassed, because he is the one who instructs the people below to raise the asking price. After all, he earns most of the money. The harder the people below make money, the higher his income will be. Who can't get along with money?

He smiled awkwardly and said: "Well...please listen to my explanation. Our Ministry of Justice has always had a miserable life. The people below have complained for a long time. Now it is normal to charge more appropriately, right?"

Old Adlerberg looked at him in amusement, how could he be coaxed by such nonsense? Without Minih's instruction, how could the brats under the Ministry of Justice have the courage to speak out?

However, it is difficult to elaborate on this matter, not to mention that the current situation is a bit special. It is normal for Minih to want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. If it were him, he would definitely not let this opportunity go.

He sighed: "It's okay to make money, but you still have to pay more attention to your appearance. Also, let me remind you that things are not that simple. Although your random asking for money is the trigger, I don't think Blokhin can be so slutty. This must be the little brat Grand Duke Andrei who is pulling the strings. I will go find Count Pobedonostsev for information and ask him to try to find out the other party’s true intentions. Just wait for the information first, remember. !Don’t act rashly!”
