Struggle in Russia

There was a ferocious look in the eyes of Grand Duke Constantine, and he said very coldly: "These nonsense is meaningless to me, it's very simple if you want me to let you go... I know you have some knowledge of the old eunuch. The handle, hand over these, and I will let you go!"

There was cold sweat on Mark's forehead, and his heart was even more tense, but when Grand Duke Constantine put forward the conditions, he suddenly relaxed, and he knew that his luck was coming!

Don't underestimate a scum like Mark. Maybe his ability to do things is very mediocre, but his ability to mess with officialdom is extremely rich. He knows what kind of situation to choose and what to do, and what is best for him.

If Grand Duke Constantine just dealt with him without saying a word, Mark knew that he would be doomed today, even if he did not die, he would lose half his life. But Grand Duke Constantine obviously didn't intend to kill him, but instead tried to find a tool from him to deal with Menshikov. This is another completely different situation.

Mark had considered this situation before, but the idea was just a flash, because Menshikov's power was too great, and his enemies were relatively too weak. If he defected to Menshikov's political enemies, Even if he has a lot of criminal evidence against the old eunuch, it will be difficult to bring down the old eunuch in the end.

He was bitten instead of dying after beating a snake. Menshikov is still the most venomous tongue. Once he is not defeated, the old eunuch will definitely not let him go. He will definitely not have a way out by then. of.

So even though Mark was very dissatisfied with the perfunctory and ruthless old eunuch, he didn't dare to make mistakes, and he couldn't think of betrayal at all.

But it was completely different after Grand Duke Constantine took the shot. Maybe Grand Duke Constantine is inferior to Menshikov in terms of power, but this is only temporary. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nicholas I still has expectations for this second son. If there is no accident, the future Minister of the Navy It must be the Grand Duke Constantine.

These current arrangements are nothing more than tempering the Grand Duke Constantine. The future of the Grand Duke must be bright, and the last time he is better than the current Menshikov.

What's more, even if Grand Duke Constantine is not as powerful as Menshikov, his political status is much higher than that of the old eunuch. The old eunuch was in a state of distress, and it was too easy to use his ability to shield a subordinate from the old eunuch's revenge.

Thinking of this, Mark's mind came alive. He felt that he was a rare commodity. If he could negotiate terms with Grand Duke Constantine and betray Menshikov at the best price, he would be able to get rid of the current predicament immediately. You can take advantage of the opportunity to board the big ship of Grand Duke Constantine, and the future will be more secure!

As the saying goes, interests touch people's hearts. In the face of absolute interests, even a coward like Mark has become daring.

Immediately he pretended to be loyal, and said decisively: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you are talking about, I really don't understand what you mean..."

"don't know?"

Grand Duke Constantine snorted playfully, straightened his upper body, put the black tea in his hand on the table, and said with a sneer, "I don't think you don't understand, but you are pretending to be stupid!" Computer side:

After all, without waiting for Mark to speak, he told Joseph: "Oshika, you go to the third part and talk to them about the accounts of the Baltic Fleet's expenditure in 1842, um, and Kronstadt The quality problems of the fortress project, some problems are shocking! I think we should check it out!"

Mark suddenly turned pale,

Because this is a coercion, whether it is an account problem or a quality problem, he is actually inseparable from him. Who made him responsible for these matters back then.

Some people reported it back then, but he was covered by Menshikov back then. Under the protection of the old eunuch, the relevant issues were naturally let go, but now, with the old eunuch's stingy virtue, I'm afraid I really won't help him shelter from the wind and rain anymore.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Even, it is not ruled out that the old eunuch is a little darker, and he can use this opportunity to directly solve his hidden danger. After all, he has no value to use, so he can give up, and it may be safer for the old eunuch to send him directly to the prison.

What Mark could think of, Grand Duke Constantine naturally thought of it, and he was sure that Mark's fate was in the attack. For him, if he doesn't make a move, it's enough, and if he makes a move, he will kill the opponent with one blow and make the opponent submit.

Grand Duke Constantine is very confident about this, because according to his understanding, Mark is not a good bird, greedy for life, afraid of death, greedy for money, and lustful, and to put it bluntly, he has all kinds of poisons. It is impossible for such a person not to cherish his own life, any loyalty or belief is bullshit to such a person!

He believed that Mark would submit obediently, so he leaned back on the chair, raised his head and looked down at the humble Mark, like gods staring at mortals, full of pride and disdain.

It's just that the pride of Grand Duke Constantine didn't last long, because under his gaze, Mark, who was supposed to be humble and begging for mercy, showed a resolute expression, and he categorically rejected the threat:

"Your Highness, I don't know what you're talking about. As for you to investigate those old cases, that's your freedom, I can't stop it..."

After finishing speaking, Mark closed his mouth, lowered his head and remained silent, with the expression of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water and let it go.

Grand Duke Constantine was shocked. He first opened his mouth and throat and made a loud noise, then he stood up abruptly and said angrily: "You...you can! You must be stubborn! I see that your mouth can How tough! Oshika, go to the third part!!"

Major Joseph showed a embarrassed expression, because going to the third part was really just a means of coercion, just a tool to force Mal to overcome softness. But now people don't accept this at all, so what if you really report it?

Even if it was really investigated to the end, the one who died in the end was a lame Mark Mikheevich, and Menshikov could not be hurt at all, which is meaningless.

What's more, whether those cases were investigated or not is another matter. Although the matter was handled by Mark, the biggest advantage is that it entered Menshikov's pocket. If we investigate now, Menshikov will never remain indifferent. Will intervene, whether to investigate or not, you can say nothing!

However, Major Joseph could not directly reject Grand Duke Constantine's request. He could only say to Mark: "Mark Mikheevich, I advise you to be more sensible... What are the consequences of angering His Royal Highness? You should Clearly, there are some things you'd better think about before answering!"
