Struggle in Russia - #2316 - Vol 3 Chapter 1364: what's the situation?

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】【】

Why did Li Xiao want to see Pobedonostsev?

Naturally, there was only one reason, and that was to inform him that Prince Baryatinsky had returned.

Originally, he planned to send an unrelated person to notify someone in a roundabout way. But then I thought about it, it wasn’t very reliable.

First of all, Pobedonostsev may not believe the news brought by this unrelated person. Secondly, it will take time to spread the news in such a roundabout way. Time is precious now, and there really isn’t that much American time to waste.

Finally, Li Xiao felt that there were other benefits to him personally delivering the news to Pobedonostsev. For example, Alexander II would definitely want to know how Pobedonostsev got the news afterwards.

If he knew that he had told Pobedonostsev, guess what the already suspicious Tsar would think?

This is a divorce plan!

“Your Majesty the Grand Duke, you suddenly came here to report. Did something big happen in St. Petersburg? Or is there a major conspiracy revealed?”

Pobedonostsev’s question was a bit uneasy and kind-hearted. What he meant was that if it wasn’t the two possibilities mentioned above, then you came here to report on a knitting job? That’s a complete waste of time, let’s see how I teach you a lesson!

Li Xiao naturally did not take this trick, and he replied seriously: “Of course I have important information to report to you, because the matter is so important that the headquarters needs to send manpower to support it!”

Pobedonostsev was stunned. He thought about countless possibilities, but he never thought that Li Xiao really had something serious. It seems like this guy is serious about his behavior?

Is something big really going to happen in St. Petersburg?

Pobedonostsev was nervous for a while. As the director of the third part, he would be nervous whenever there was any trouble in St. Petersburg, because once something happened, Alexander II would definitely ask him why the third part didn’t respond.

This is also the most annoying thing about the position of the director of the third part. It is true that he is well-informed, but being well-informed does not mean omniscience and omnipotence. Some things are particularly hidden and there is no sign beforehand. The spies in the third part are humans, not gods, so how can they know everything? Check properly?

But if something goes wrong, it’s all his fault as the boss. It’s really painful to blame him for all the accountability and spanking!

He immediately asked: “What’s going on? Is someone plotting something evil?”

Li Xiao was amused in his heart but his face was extremely serious: “I don’t rule out this possibility. I am shamelessly asking you for help because I really can’t find out the truth. I hope you will send manpower to help us find out the truth…”

This made Pobedonostsev even more anxious. He felt that since Li Xiao was so solemn about his affairs, the matter must not be trivial. Damn, it’s such a troubled time now! The rebellion in Ukraine had just subsided, and Archduke Constantine was still making trouble, and then another fatal event happened.

What kind of **** did he, the commander-in-chief, offend, and why did everything happen to him when he was in office? It made him miserable!

He quickly asked: “What happened? Please tell me clearly? Is anyone planning to rebel?”

Li Xiao still replied with a serious look on his face: “We cannot rule out this possibility. We found that someone pretended to be Duke Baryatinsky and was secretly operating in Gatchina in his name. His behavior was quite suspicious. Is it possible? There could be some conspirators using Duke Baryatinsky’s identity to plot evil!”

Pobedonostsev felt that his brain was a bit out of control. Someone was pretending to be Baryatinsky? Still plotting something evil?

Is this a joke?

If the person who spoke was not Li Xiao, he would probably tell the person who reported the news to get screwed.

This is really nonsense. Let’s not talk about who has dared to pretend to be Duke Baryatinsky and deceive. Let’s just say that someone really has the courage. You guys in the third part of St. Petersburg are not vegetarians, right? Wouldn’t it be better to just arrest people, and also report the news of a hammer!

No matter how you look at it, you are not someone who respects your superiors by asking for instructions early and reporting late. I think you are kidding me!

But this thought passed in a flash. Pobedonostsev glanced at Li Xiao, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he soon had some understanding.

He asked: “Is it a serious crime to impersonate Prince Baryatinsky? Who is so bold?”

Li Xiao answered without missing a beat: “Our St. Petersburg Third Department’s capabilities are limited and we can’t find many clues for the time being. Whatever the truth is, we still need assistance from the headquarters… How about leaving this case to the headquarters for investigation?”

Pobedonostsev was stunned again. Normally, someone should not hand over such a big case on his own initiative, let alone hand it over to him, an errant chief.

But someone just did this, I’m afraid there’s a lot to be said for it!

Pobedonostsev became increasingly undecided. He felt that this matter was very complicated and might be some kind of trap.

But if you say it was a trap, what was Li Xiao trying to do? Could he be so unwise that he dared to flirt with himself when he was fighting Alexander II and Grand Duke Constantine? Was it because he thought he would not die soon enough?

He doesn’t think Li Xiao is such a fool, and I’m afraid there is a hidden meaning in this!

But it’s hard to say what the deep meaning is. UU Reading www.uukanshu. Will net take over?

Just when he was hesitating, Li Xiao spoke again: “Sir, the situation is urgent, so please make a decision early. If you miss the opportunity, I’m afraid you will regret it!”

Pobedonostsev was stunned again. These words were too abrupt, because it would never be his turn to regret it, right?

So what if the prisoner escapes? At most, he is just a liar similar to “The Imperial Envoy”! What can be so great about it?

However, he knew that Li Xiao would not be innocent. Since he dared to say this, there must be a reason. After much thought, he decided to take over first. Even if he found out that he had been tricked by someone in the end, he would just find someone to settle the accounts with.

So he hummed: “Okay, then this case will be taken over by the headquarters. You can hand over the relevant case files and clues!”

Who would have thought that Li Xiao would say again: “Thank you very much, but please send a trusted confidant to investigate. I think this case is not trivial, and it must be done by reliable people!”

Pobedonostsev’s heart skipped a beat. This hint was a bit obvious. Asking him to use his own cronies, I’m afraid this case is very involved and has a lot to do with him!

But he couldn’t figure out what kind of person and what kind of case would be related to him. Even if he had been unlucky recently, he was still Alexander II’s confidant. Who dared to make trouble against him?

There are more and more questions, but Pobedonostsev believes that he will soon be able to figure out the secret…
