"If it is really as horrific as Mr. Ivanovich said, then it is easier to find the mastermind who planned these events"

Peter said, holding his chin.

"Why?"

Empress Elizabeth asked, turning her head.

"You think, this planner must know the local situation very well, and he, of course, may have more than one mastermind, who knows the main celebration of the local festival, and can command the serfs in these noble estates, and know your itinerary, it is almost impossible to completely avoid leaking the news, but these people have done it. Do you think there are many people who can accomplish the impossible? At the very least, they must be satisfied with the locals and nobles, otherwise they will not be able to blend into the manor, and some of these people have a very good relationship with the serfs, and the serfs can obey the command like the army without making mistakes. The main thing is that the local sheriffs and officials did not in the slightest sense that something terrible was going to happen, everything was going on in secret ... By the way, Mr. Ivanovich, will the local officials be informed in advance of the route of this trip? ”

"In order to prevent accidents, only three days' notice will be given"

"That's it, after these people originally planned to attack the local noble manor, it is likely that they want to go to other places to attack more noble manors, but they got the news that the palace convoy is about to pass, so it is likely that the attack was arranged on an improvised basis, otherwise why use that broken stump, it is more convenient to use explosives directly..."

"Alright, I got it!"

Queen Elizabeth drank impatiently.

"Please listen to me, you are about to get to the most critical place"

"Then you make a long story short and pick up the main points"

"Okay, what's that going on... Oh, that's who the mastermind of this attack is"

Seeing the Empress glaring at him, Peter stumbled in embarrassment.

"Well, I can only say that I guess, I think that the mastermind of these two attacks is probably the illegitimate son of a nobleman, although this status is not treated by other nobles, but it is likely that there will be sympathizers, such as nobles' butlers, servants or something. And then this person is obviously familiar with all kinds of things in the aristocratic circle, and he should be a relatively well-respected illegitimate child, so either his mother's family is also noble, or his parents are a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks with unequal identities who have been separated. When this man grew up, because he was an illegitimate child and could not inherit the family property, he joined the army, had many years of service experience, and most of them were rewarded for his military exploits, so his subordinates in the army were willing to follow him to the death. Of course, some of these subordinates may also be his childhood playmates, such as the children of serfs. As for the purpose of these people, at first they may simply want to take revenge on the family that disagrees with them, but they use an event with a large number of participants to wipe out all the local nobles, most of which happened later, such as the lover being hurt or something..."

"Enough, too long-winded!"

The Empress interrupted Peter's ramblings.

"But I understand the general idea, Ivanovich, you should check first according to the crown prince's ideas, but if the local nobles are ruthless... , it may not be possible to verify the identity of the real murderer behind the scenes..."

Empress Elizabeth looked up to the sky and sighed, drawing a cross with her hand.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll go and set it up"

"Also, do you want to continue the next trip?"

The Empress asked a question that no one wanted to think about.

"It can be inferred that you need to rest for a few days after the journey is tiring, and it is not too late to go after the army has completely swept away."

Razumovsky said respectfully.

"Okay, then rest for a few days, depending on the situation"
