Struggle in Russia

Vladimir Uvarov and Nikolay Uvarov don’t think they are very courageous, let alone how arrogant their actions are.

In fact, these two young masters' understanding and judgment of themselves are completely different from Li Xiao's. They feel that they are outstanding representatives of aristocratic young men, and are rare white lotuses in the aristocratic circle of St. Petersburg.

Let me ask, if someone else’s father is a great man like Count Uvarov, can he not find a particularly good position for his children? It is reasonable to at least be the director and deputy director of the Ministry of Finance or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

But what about in reality? They only serve as minor officials under the Minister of Agriculture and Education. They have neither much power nor much money. It is really useless.

What a loss they suffered from just this one thing!

Not to mention that Count Uvarov does not allow them to make money openly and openly under his name. At most, they can indirectly use the old man's name to do some trivial things, which is not interesting!

If they knew that Li Xiao actually thought that if they act arrogantly and show their sincerity, they would drown someone with their saliva. If they are considered arrogant, then what do they call the young masters of other powerful families? Arrogant pus version?

So are these two brothers really as pitiable as they say?

Objectively speaking, Count Uvarov did impose certain restrictions and restrictions on them, but it was not just as simple as allowing them to make only a small amount of money.

Small money and big money are different people's opinions from different perspectives. So the small money in the eyes of the brothers may be the gold and silver in the eyes of others.

Those two boys were used to spending a lot of money and naturally thought that everything was just small change. But without Count Uvarov as a backer, can they earn this money with their ability and level?

All I can really say is hehe, these two brothers are both ambitious and short-sighted, and they are the masters of facts. So do they really know their mothers when they go up to the kang, and they know their shoes when they get off the kang? There is nothing to say at all.

Let's put it this way, it was precisely because Count Uvarov understood the nature of these two sons so well that he deliberately restricted their actions. Otherwise, given the abilities of these two guys, they might be able to create some trouble for him.

But after all, Count Uvarov had too many things to pay attention to and manage. With so many things to do, he could only find time to pay attention to these two unfulfilled sons, which naturally gave them many opportunities to take advantage of. .

"The one who misappropriated funds to keep a mistress? The one who is in debt and gambles every day?"

Well, after a little research, Li Xiao found out that this brother was a fool at playing. Vladimir actually misappropriated a large amount of funds from the agricultural department to support a French girl. It is said that he has spent millions of rubles. What could he do with so much money? Is it possible to buy more than one pure gold high-level figure? Why are French women so expensive?

What is even more outrageous than being a prodigal in love is Nicholas, a casino high roller. Li Xiao only made a simple check and discovered that he owed no less than 1.5 million rubles in foreign debt. This is relatively obvious and can be found casually. God knows if he has other more hidden debts. Anyway, with this guy’s income, I can’t pay it back in a hundred years.

A huge debt of more than two million to close to three million is not a small number. Even if Count Uvarov can make money again, he may not make so much money after so many years. To fill these two holes, he will have to go bankrupt.

"Just let him have a taste of this!" Vishniak said viciously.

However, Li Xiao didn't want to do it so simply and crudely. Raising the debt may not be as simple as imagined. The reason why those two brothers were so bold was probably because they knew that their father could fill these two holes.

Not to mention embezzlement of public funds, just the fact that Nicholas can continue to spend huge sums of money gambling in the casino, and can continue to borrow money to continue gambling even though he is in debt can illustrate a problem.

That means Count Uvarov’s face is still useful. If it weren’t for his face, would the moneylenders be so happy to give money?

Those guys who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones are not the kind of people who start a charity. They are more ruthless than anything else when they press for debts. If they wanted to do this, they would have beaten Nikolay long ago.

In other words, they were not in a hurry at all, and did not even think about collecting debts. They were even afraid that Nicholas would not enjoy himself enough, so they kept stuffing money into his hands.

In this case, even if Li Xiao exposes this matter, how damaging will it be? Other creditors are not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry? Isn't this a dog trying to catch a mouse?

"If I check the two brothers more carefully, I won't believe that they only have this little problem!"

Vishniak wanted to say that this was really not a small problem, but who said it was Li Xiao? Who made him agree to follow the other party's orders in all actions?

At the moment, he could only reluctantly continue to search for the two brothers. As for Li Xiao, he was not idle either. He once dug out the information given by Count Rostovtsev and started reading it again.

It's not that there are clues about the two brothers' crimes, but Li Xiao feels that it's impossible for a smart person like Count Uvarov not to realize that these idiot sons are his biggest leverage.

How could someone as shrewd and cunning as him expose his weakness to the enemy without making any preparations?

This is completely unreasonable, and not in line with the character of a veteran who has been in the officialdom for decades.

Li Xiao felt that the two brothers were a bit like bait or a trap, something Count Uvarov deliberately placed outside to attract fire.

Anyone who attacks the two brothers will be able to respond immediately, using this to identify where the enemy comes from and what their background is, and to predict his next actions.

Is this the legendary saying of being reluctant to let go of your child but unable to trap the wolf?

Li Xiao was a little stunned, could he have such a cruel father?

But thinking about the lifestyle and style of the two brothers Vladimir and Nikolai, Count Uvarov would probably want to shoot these two bastards into the wall.

It is also reasonable to simply reuse waste, at least let the waste play a key value. It can be regarded as turning waste into treasure.

What's more, as long as he, Count Uvarov, survives the attack, there will be plenty of ways to make up for those two bastards in the future.

Thinking about it from this perspective, Count Uvarov's digging of this hole was really a clever move.

Then should we start something against these two dudes?

Li Xiao once fell into deep thought. According to common sense, he speculated that Vishniak's actions may have triggered the alarm, and maybe Count Uvarov had already noticed his actions. If you continue to act, you may fall into a trap.

But Li Xiao also felt that it was a good idea to ask for directions. After all, Count Uvarov had managed himself into a fortress, so a forceful attack would definitely not work. Why not test his reaction and see what he did?
