Chapter 50: Reunion
With the strong intervention of Nicholas I, Li Xiao and Boris were transferred to the worst cell-almost dark all day, the room was cramped but humid and cold, feeling like an ice cellar.
However, this cannot defeat Li Xiao and Boris. The former is not treated well from childhood to large, and there is no wealthy disease of those delicate and nobles. The latter is big-hearted and in good health. It doesn't matter as long as you can eat and sleep.
Only on this day, when the new day's sunshine was slowly shot into the large window of a single cell, the situation changed.
"Captain Andrei Konstantinovich!"
With an extremely rude call, the iron door of the cell was pushed open, and two powerful military policemen rushed in, yawning at someone wrapped in a quilt:
出来 "Come out! Your Excellency the Duke of Oldorf will see you!"
骁 Li Xiao clearly realized that the situation has changed. Although these gendarmeries were not polite a few days ago, they never dared to call them by name. It seems quite dangerous today. Could it be said that his old uncle is forcing his uncle to be shameless?
骁 Li Xiao is a little puzzled. According to his arrangement, the old Yin Yin should have more weight, how could he be so tough?
骁 Li Xiao was pushed out of the cell by the two gendarmerie, and passed through the dark and narrow hallway, and was sent to a specially prepared interrogation room.
Entering the door, you can see several strong polar bears with naked tops and slaps to protect their heart hair. They are holding the whip to separate the sides, and there are various tortures lined up inside.
Li Xiao just stood and was curiously looking at the various "facilities" in the house. When he stood with his back in front of the window, Alderdorf, who was deep in clothes, finally turned around, and the old man was very imposing with one arm Says:
"Dear Grand Duke, if Ekaterina II is in office, she will exile you to a place where birds do not shit, so that others will never find your bones!"
"But thank God, our monarch today is very kind and generous in dealing with these crimes you committed. He can forgive your wrongdoing and ignorance for the last time, as long as you write a confession, then you can come and kiss me and immediately restore my freedom . "
"Come here! Embrace me, Grand Duke!"
骁 Li Xiao felt a little funny. He had read the evaluation of the Earl of Aldorf in the book. Among Nicholas I's tortuous waste ministers, he was considered capable. But sometimes I like to pretend, and use the momentum to conquer opponents.
Now Li Xiao feels this first-hand. Does the earl really think he is a three-year-old child, and when will he believe that Nicholas I was generous and kind to him? This is really a joke.
Li Xiao replied eagerly: "Dear Duke, I am personally willing to give you a hug of kindness, which is pleasant ... but reasonably told me that maybe the place where the birds do not **** may make me more happy and Be happy, so ... "
After a pause, Li Xiao laughed and said, "So I'm too lazy to write anything, or you can try the power of these guys in your room now on me. Or quickly tell me where the birds don't shit. Travel or settle down, or simply give you something to save us. I will go back to the little black room that you specially arranged before and wait for us to see you next time? "
Ordorf stared directly at Li Xiao, as if trying to see through his soul, but someone's calm and natural expression told him that his disposition was useless.
Yes, all of this was under the arrangement of Ordov. Even if Nicholas I gave him a death order, he did not dare to pay attention to a large public punishment, even intimidation and threats.
It's best to be able to scare the other person, but there is no way to scare him. He can only order lightly: "Please, Lord Grand Duke, take a rest next door, and let him reflect carefully ... Authorities are one thing, convicting you is just an order! You better think about it again, and you will regret it later! "
骁 Li Xiao was invited out again under the "gathering" of the gendarmerie. When he walked away from Oldorf, his true emotions were revealed, and he was furious:
"Damn Polish bastard, I really consider myself a character! One by one is not oil and salt, please invite his big friend again, I will talk to him again!"
When Boris was called into the torture chamber again, Leonid broke into the Crown Prince Alexander's office.
Truth, although it was not a few days since I left this familiar office, after Leonid walked in again, he still felt a strong sense of strangeness and violation.
I used to talk about the future with Alexander, plan the blueprint for Russia's future, and laugh together. But today, he feels that these have passed a long, long time, almost so long that they are almost forgotten.
Leonid bowed respectfully to Alexander first, and then stood upright, as usual, he waited for Alexander's order quietly, and then immediately executed ~ www.readwn.com ~ Alexander was also a bit stunned. Before that, he angrily dismissed most of Leonid's duties, thinking that this would make the good friend aware of his mistake, thinking that Leonid would deeply reflect on his mistake, and soon came to ask for forgiveness. . This is how his father Nicholas I trained the closest subjects, and the results have been very good.
But to Alexander's surprise, Leonid's response was completely different from those of his father's courtiers. Leonid not only did not return to admit wrongly asking for forgiveness, but simply disappeared. After the incident, he never visited the Hermitage again, and never contacted him again, as if he wanted to cut off with him.
This made Alexander both disappointed and angry. He thought Leonid had betrayed him and abandoned his vows, and he was a wordless and unbelievable villain!
And now Leonid is suddenly back again, which makes Alexander happy and a little bit proud: [It's true! The method my father taught me is always effective! Never be used to disobedient courtiers! 】
就 Alexander watched Leonid so silently, and he tried to maintain a majestic monarchy, just like his father.
But Leonid was not Benkendorf, not Peter Volkonsky, not Menshekov, or Ordorf, he was himself, an independent, loyal and dedicated man.
After a brief silence, Leonid got rid of the influence of memories and said bluntly: "His Highness, I heard some very bad rumors at the British dock before. Although these rumors may not be groundless, the impact is very bad ..."
"These rumors will greatly damage our country's international image, damage your personal authority, and will be a fatal blow to our military morale. I think you should take immediate action to clear these rumors!"
