Chapter 657: Exploring Gutavov
Lebezovsky personally visited the Gutavov house.
And Gutavov was surprised by the sudden visit of the old prime minister.
It is somewhat unusual that Lebezovsky has rarely publicly interacted with the ministers of the DPRK and China, let alone visited the palace of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce.
Of course, since he came, there was a reason for him to come, Gutavov could only do his best to continue, as for what to do after that, according to his usual way of doing things, that is, the soldiers came to block, the water came to cover, to see things, to see the moves, everything to adapt.
And at this moment when the wind is spreading, where Lebezovsky appears, something will happen.
Lebezovsky has reached the disaster star.
And seeing him coming, Gutavov also had a little headache.
This was the first time in Lebezovsky's life that he visited Gufu.
He is the prime minister, and although he likes Gutavov very much as a young man, he can't surrender his status and always run to the house of his subordinates, which is not in line with his way of doing things.
However, he has always heard of the luxury of the ancient mansion, and today he was finally fortunate to see it, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it really deserves its name, and the ancient mansion covers a wide area, and the luxury of the interior is in the entire empire, if you talk about the comprehensive ranking, it can definitely be ranked in the top ten.
Lebezovsky couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, young is young, and the edge is too exposed.
However, in the eyes of him, an old man, this is not a good thing, it is the way of evil.
However, he came today for business, not to sigh, so red tape was avoided, and as soon as we met, he went straight to the point. Chatting with Guta about his concerns.
"Worf, I'm here today because I don't know something, and I want to ask you." Lebezovsky took a sip of the fragrant tea offered by the waiter, and his trademark smile appeared on his face.
He was the Prime Minister of the Empire. He is also Gutavov's direct boss, and he is even more supportive of Gutavov, if he has something to ask, then he can naturally ask.
Gutavov is also unavoidable.
"My lord, please ask, the lower officials know everything." Gutavov said respectfully.
Although I don't know what it is, I don't know what the old prime minister is for, but he will say what he can say.
After so many years of life in the sea, Gutavov has learned a lot of things, and he has his own way of dealing with people. He is not stupid, of course he knows that the old prime minister must have something important to do here, and it has something to do with him, and then think about what the old prime minister has done during this time, Gutavov can vaguely guess the purpose of some of the prime minister's here.
"In that case, then I won't beat around the bush." Lebezovsky reached out and pulled his beard under his chin and smiled.
He was satisfied with Gutavov's attitude, and that's what he wanted.
Good attitude. It is very helpful to solve the problem.
He was answered with a humble smile and the meek words: "Yes".
Although Gutavov rarely took people seriously, there were a few people he did not dare to offend. Lebezovsky was one of these inoffensible people.
So, being polite is a must.
"I heard that the deceased in the drunken party murder case was from your house?" The resemblance of the old head is inadvertently remembered, and it is an understatement.
Questioning also has to be skillful, first of all, you have to take care of people's face, Lebezovsky people are old and fine. The art of deep questioning.
"Yes, it is indeed from my house." Gutavov nodded and said.
Since Lebezovsky asked about this, it means that he has already learned something, and it is useless to deny it. And not only is it useless, but it is more likely to backfire, so it is better to admit it directly, anyway, he has not done anything wrong, how can he be afraid of him knocking on the door.
And Gutavov's generous admission was so surprising that Lebezovsky was quite surprised, and he was still thinking about what strategy Gutavov would adopt to force Gutavov to admit this fact if Gutavov vigorously denied it, but he did not expect that he was too careful, and Gutavov admitted it without hesitation.
It caught him off guard.
However, the old prime minister is the old prime minister, and the experience of this life is not blown, so he immediately stabilized his mind and set the direction of the next question.
Now that Gutavov has admitted this, he has to change his strategy and revolve around the matter of the dead.
He froze and said with a smile: "Worf, I didn't say you, since this person is from your house, why didn't you say it earlier, I'm afraid it will cause some unnecessary suspicion." ”
He is relying on the old and selling the old, and he is completely in the tone of an elder and instructing the younger generation with painstaking words, how good his intentions are.
Of course, what he actually wants to do is only known to him.
He also believed that he did this, strategically speaking, to take the enemy by surprise, to attack unprepared, to attack the enemy's weak points, so that he could not avoid it.
He wanted to see how Gutavov would take it.
And Gutavov's reaction was again beyond Lebezovsky's expectations.
He smiled faintly and said without delay: "I have long wanted to explain this matter to the Prime Minister, but I have never had a suitable opportunity, and I am also trying to avoid suspicion." ”
It turns out that there are also hardships, yes, who would not have any hardships, everyone will have them, this can't blame him, human nature, human nature.
Regardless of where the truth came from, Gutavov's reaction deserves praise.
When Lebezovsky heard this, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh a few times, covering up his passivity.
The old prime minister wanted to take the initiative and bring Gutavov into line, but it seemed that he was being controlled at every turn, and Gutavov's seemingly powerless words defused Lebezovsky's offensive invisibly.
This hand Tai Chi is indeed brilliant.
However, Lebezovsky was not willing to give up, since he missed one blow, then he would strike again.
He's going to hit hard and see how Gutavov responds.
"Worf, since the person is from your house, then you have to have a saying, a word to avoid suspicion may not be able to get rid of it, this matter is so important, you must know, even if I believe your words, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people who do not believe, and I can't block the mouth of Youyou." Lebezovsky tract.
Since he came, he had to dig up something useful, otherwise, didn't he come in vain, of course, if it could be proven that Gutavov had nothing to do with the case, that would be good.
All he needs is a result, finding out who is the mastermind is the most important thing, as for whether the mastermind is Gutavov or Zhukov, this is not his main concern, he is only loyal to one person, that is the old tsar.
"Please also ask your lord to be the master of the lower officials!" Gutavov howled.
It's really done.
Besides, if he doesn't act, can he do it, Lebezovsky's words are hidden, although they are not explicitly aimed at him, but they can't get rid of it in and out of his words, since he can't get out, it can only be Nai Lebezovsky, let Lebezovsky, the person who presides over justice, help him get out, and in addition to this method, it seems that he can only do this.
He really needs help now, and he can't afford to be wronged.
"Is it really a deliberate attempt to conceal the identity of the deceased?" Lebezovsky said in an accentuated tone.
He was just here to understand the situation, and he didn't want to say anything about Gutavov, so some words were just enough to stop.
And his previous words were to give Gutavov a dismount, so that he could not take this matter lightly.
"No, it's not, please be enlightened." Gutavov's head shook like a rattle, and his tone was extremely resolute.
He really didn't mean to hide it, he was just worried that he was doing something wrong.
And Lebezovsky was able to conclude that Gutavov should be true to what he said, he really didn't mean to hide the true identity of the deceased, he was just worried that this matter would be spread on his head, so he hesitated, everything was to clear up the relationship, and he didn't think about it, but let himself sink deeper, which Gutavov himself didn't expect.
"Okay, I know, I'll take care of it, Worf, the clean will clean itself, you can redouble your efforts, the empire's diplomacy and commerce are a big deal, remember not to slack off." Lebezovsky soothed.
Gutavov's position was important, and Lebezovsky did not want this to affect his handling of the diplomatic and commercial affairs of the empire, which was a bit more than worth the cost.
"Yes, please rest assured, Prime Minister, I can save it." Gutavov breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Lebezovsky's words also reassured Gutavov a little.
And the old guy has been paying attention to the changes in Gutavov's face while speaking, and he has a preliminary judgment on many things, so he said: "Do you know about the assassination of General Zhu?" ”
Gutavov nodded with a grim face, indicating that he knew about it.
"And what do you think?" Lebezovsky kept smiling.
He had to listen to Gutavov, which was one of the main purposes of his visit.
"I was also quite surprised by this, after I heard about it, I was very worried about General Zhu, this gangster is really rampant, and he actually ran to the prison to assassinate the crown prince, which is really unreasonable." Gutavov is righteous and stern.
He must stay away from this matter, and he must not touch it, otherwise he will not be able to wash it cleanly if he wants to.
"Oh, of course, this is a big deal, I have been ordered to investigate, and I hope that the murderer can be brought to justice as soon as possible." Lebezovsky.
He said, glancing at Gutavov's face.
His face was as usual, and there was no change.
"Then it's hard work Prime Minister, with the Prime Minister here, this matter will definitely come to light soon." Gutavov Road.
He was suspicious of sycophancy.
At this point, Lebezovsky knew that there was no point in going on.
So, he got up and took his leave. (To be continued......)
