Struggle in Russia

Ulanov was really confused. He never expected that the ship that was escaping would suddenly be written off. Of course, it was not a big problem if the ship was written off. The problem was that the money also sank in the river.

Although the water at the dock is not deep, salvage in the cold weather is a big problem.

And now he really doesn't have much time. According to his plan, he will run away in the next few days, but where can he get the money out in just a few days? What's more, even if it is fished out, how will it be taken out of Kiev?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get furious and threw the table off: "What's going on?"

The housekeeper was also confused. He was also confused about the sudden attack. Moreover, the purpose of this group of people was clearly to blow up the ship. After succeeding in the attack, they left without hesitation and immediately left. When he got the news and rushed to the scene, Not a single hair was found.

At this moment, he was really on the verge of tears, so he could only bite the bullet and reply: "Master, I don't know what happened. These people sank your ship and ran away. I am sending people to investigate."

There must be something to track down, but the housekeeper himself knows that it is just a show, and only those who can catch him will be damned.

Ulanov stared at the housekeeper with a straight face, and after a long while he uttered a few words through his teeth: "Let me investigate with all your strength. You must find these troublemakers for me. I want them to You can’t live but you can’t die!”

Ulanov was really angry. This accident disrupted his entire plan. According to his plan, he only needed to escape from Kiev with the money he made, and then go directly to St. Petersburg to use his connections to get himself off the hook. Finally, just take the money you earned and go abroad to live comfortably.

But now that he was doing this, he couldn't leave at all. Without a ship he really had no confidence that he could leave Kiev safely. Yes, although he has reached some consensus with the rebels, how can he trust those mud-legged people?

So he never planned to leave Kiev by land, but now that the ship was gone and the gold and silver treasures he finally plundered were still in the water, how could he leave?

But if you don’t leave, why don’t you stay in Kiev and wait to die?

Others don't know that he, the governor, doesn't know that there are 300,000 rebels around Kiev. With so many people, even one person can drown him by spitting.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so upset and angry that he wanted to kill a few people. It took him a full hour to calm down.

The top priority is to quickly salvage the money, these things are the most critical.

Of course, he still needed to find out who was causing the trouble. He wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully without knowing this.

Thinking of this, he immediately called Nikolay Ivanovich: "There are still dishonest people in Kiev. Just now someone attacked the dock and blew up the ship I prepared. I order you to concentrate your efforts to investigate the matter immediately. We must find out this heat energy!”

Nikolai Ivanovich was a little confused, because hadn’t he agreed to leave by land before? What the hell is this ship?

But he wasn't stupid and didn't ask what was going on with the ship. Instead, he was more cautious and agreed to check it out immediately.

After returning to his headquarters, he immediately called his confidants and ordered them to investigate the dock and ship.

In the next day, his confidant informed him of the situation of the dock and the ship, and Nikolai Ivanovich was suddenly shocked:

"You said five ships were blown up at the pier, and people from the Governor's Mansion are organizing salvage?"

"Yes, General, they are all from the Governor's Mansion, hundreds of them!"

"Have you seen the salvaged things?" Nikolai Ivanovich asked.

"No, the people in the Governor's Mansion were very secretive and didn't allow our people to get close. But I took a look from a distance and saw that the things were so heavy that they were lifted out using a crane! And after loading, it was difficult for eight horses to pull them!"

Nikolai Ivanovich was shocked again. Looking at it this way, the sunken ship was filled with gold and silver. Obviously this is the money that Ulanov collected. Looking at it this way, he really had no intention of leaving by land. So what he told himself before...

Nikolai Ivanovich suddenly became suspicious. He had followed Ulanov for so many years, how could he not know this guy's temper? He guessed his intentions in a moment, and he suddenly felt resentful.

"You bastard, you tricked us into taking the land route, and then you secretly took the money and left by water. What a trick!"

It can only be said that Nikolai Ivanovich still thought too well of Ulanov, who had no intention of letting him leave Kiev alive from the beginning to the end. If Anton hadn't interfered with his plan, he would have been a corpse in a few days.

Thinking of this, Nikolai Ivanovich also had a problem in his mind, and immediately ordered: "Carefully track down those who blew up the ship. The noise can be louder, but there is no need to rush. You can immediately arrange the most elite manpower for me." Keep an eye on the Governor's Mansion, be sure to keep an eye on me, and let me know immediately if there is any change from the Governor!"

Nikolai Ivanovich is determined to be on guard, but Ulanov is obviously unreliable. If he continues to follow his baton, he may be sold and help count the money.

After all these years, Nikolai Ivanovich is not an idiot, and he will definitely not become a fool.

Not to mention that Nikolai Ivanovich and Ulanov were suspicious of each other, Anton’s hands were not idle either. After cleaning up the traces, he also stared at Ulanov’s every move. Of course, he did not forget to continue sending people to try to contact Li Xiao.

Because Anton knew very well that blowing up the ship would only disrupt Ulanov's rhythm and delay his time. This guy will never stay in Kiev, he will definitely run away!

"Although the ship was blown up, it does not mean that the waterway is completely impassable. There are no safe, comfortable and fast steamships, but there are still smaller sailing ships in Kiev. I think he will definitely try to search for other ships next , so we must take countermeasures in advance and let our people destroy the large ships staying in Kiev as much as possible, and we must not let him escape!"

This order was very timely, because while the salvage work was still continuing, Ulanov once again ordered the steward to search for other ships immediately. It seemed that he was determined to escape by water.

But he didn't expect Anton to predict his actions in advance. The larger ship in Kiev was either sunk inexplicably or bought by Anton's people in advance.

The poor housekeeper was so busy that he only found two or three small boats, which was a drop in the bucket for Ulanov, who had a "big family and a big business"...
