173 The Man Behind the Curtain (Part II)

。 Seeing that Li Xiaofeng was determined to break the sand pot and ask in the end, Yakov and Natalia knew that it was useless to hide the Dao, so naturally they could only tell a certain immortal everything they knew about the Dao.

The story has to start ten years ago, the Yakov brothers and sisters ten years ago were not in the current state, at that time, one of them was the proud daughter of the sky, and the other was the son and brother of the upper class, who had no worries about food and clothing, and enjoyed all the glory and wealth.

But in June 1907, all the glory and opulence collapsed, and with the June 3rd coup d'Γ©tat directed by Stolypin and Nicholas II, the entire Russian political scene changed dramatically. It was not only the 65 Congressional Dumas of the Social Democratic Labour Party headed by Lenin who were arrested and exiled. But all politicians who are inclined to the second Duma have also been greatly affected.

And Yakov and Natalia's father was one of them, the old Avdeyevich was a famous lawyer, although he was not a politician, but the old man strongly opposed the rule of the tsar, and once defended many political opponents persecuted by the tsar.

After the June 3rd coup, the poor old man never did anything bad in his life, but he was arrested and imprisoned by the Tsar Crown on charges of conspiracy to subvert the government, and sentenced to five years of hard labor. Originally, this was the end, the old man had no choice but to squat in prison for five years, and after he was released from prison, he was a good man again. Maybe because of this imprisonment, he also earned political prestige. Just like Kerensky, the Minister of Justice of the Provisional Government, he defended Lenin and others back then, and as soon as the February Revolution came, he became Minister of Justice. At the level of an old man, if he really wants to live until after the February Revolution, he will not be bad.

But the blame is the blame. Within a few days of being imprisoned, the old man didn't know whether his nerves were on the wrong line or if he had lost his mind, and he confessed to a series of crimes in prison - as big as murder, arson, and abduction and trafficking of women. As small as stealing chickens and dogs, peeping at neighbors taking baths.

Anyway, it's the kind of evil that is full of evil, and now the matter is big, and the messy charges have destroyed the good reputation that the old man has accumulated after decades of hard work, just the reputation is counted, and the more important thing is that it will harm his wife, and the huge family business will be confiscated immediately.

Of course, it is not the key that the money is gone, the most important thing is that the old man is confessing in the night. It's cut off for yourself. According to the prison authorities, the old man strangled himself to death with his own hands, which was a suicide in fear of crime.

Dear, what normal person would believe such news? The Yakov siblings and their old mother, of course, did not believe it. Over the next year, the family went to court in an attempt to find the truth.

But the scary things followed, first the old mother was suddenly killed in a car accident, and then the unwarranted loan shark came to the door with an IOU. Of course, the brother and sister, who were already four walls of the family, could not afford it, so poor Yakov was arrested and put in the Petrograd debt prison, and then poor Natalia was left, desperately trying to make money to redeem her brother. As a result, he fell into the wolf's mouth when he met someone. If there is no appearance of Princess Anne, this family may be unlucky, and they will never be able to turn over.

"Why did you suddenly think of helping them?" Li Xiaofeng asked. "Don't tell me you're on the road, as far as I know you don't like to meddle."

Princess Anne replied honestly, "Of course I won't be nosy. I'm not kind enough to be compassionate, and if it weren't for my husband playing a little dishonorable role in this matter, I wouldn't care about their brother and sister. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince was involved in this matter?" Li Xiaofeng suddenly became interested.

Princess Anne sighed and said, "Well, although I am not the mastermind, I am also an accomplice. ”

"Why?" Li Xiaofeng asked puzzledly, "As far as I know, that guy is just a playboy and is not very enthusiastic about politics?" ”…,

"It doesn't have much to do with politics!" Princess Anne sighed again, "It's because he's a playboy that he participates in ......"

Li Xiaofeng glanced at the beauties with the dual temperament of ice and fire beside him, and said, "Could it be that the dog's blood can't be because of love, but because of hatred?" The red face is really true......"

Princess Anne gave him a blank look and spat out: "What nonsense, although that bastard does covet Natasha's beauty, but the most critical reason is money,!" ”

"Money?" Li Xiaofeng was puzzled, "What does it have to do with money?" How can the grandson say that he is also a prince and is not short of money? ”

Princess Anne sneered: "Why is there no shortage of money?" Neither Archduke Paul nor he managed the family property, and both father and son only knew how to squander, and if I hadn't married, their father and son would have to sell themselves to pay off their debts! ”

Li Xiaofeng suddenly realized: "Dare to love them to frame your father, it is the idea of seeking money and killing people!" Speaking of this, he looked at Yakov and Natalia again and sighed: "I didn't expect your family to be quite rich before!" ”

Natalia rolled her eyes: "You think we're the only ones who have been harmed?" There were many people who had the same experience as my family that year, but our family was one of the worst! ”

"How?"

Yakov sighed: "The other victims, all cowardly, knocked out their teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs. Only we insist on finding out the truth. ”

Li Xiaofeng suddenly understood, and blurted out: "That's why you were framed for the second time!" To cover up the truth?! ”

"That's right!" Princess Anne said faintly, "I also stumbled upon Dimitri and other women, and I slipped out. Only then did I know what role he played in these disgraceful things. He is responsible for breaking through the upper echelons and bribing the jailers and judges, while his fox friend Abramovich is a gangster who acts as a thug. ”

"And what about the mustache Kornilov? And what role did he play? Li Xiaofeng asked.

Yakov explained: "He was in charge of organization and planning, and in terms of status, he was the core of this small group. ”

"So he's the one behind the scenes?" Li Xiaofeng said as a matter of course.

Natalia scoffed, "You're thinking too simply, the mustache is a little smarter than his two accomplices, but it's only a little bit smarter." Do you think he can turn his hands over and cover his hands for the rain? ”

Yakov also said: "Indeed, after several years of investigation, we have a deeper understanding of this group, and there are still several layers of relationships above Kornilov Jr., in the end, he is just a slightly more advanced pawn." ”

Li Xiaofeng finally understood: "That's why you don't approve of me solving that disgusting mustache?" ”

"That's right, there is no point in dealing with him, it's a big deal to change a pawn. This kind of pawn is a big deal for the person behind the scenes, like Medvedev you know, like a couple of ministers in the Provisional Government who resell grain. ”

"That's why you got close to Medvedev?" Li Xiaofeng asked.

"That's right!" Yakov nodded, "I can't catch up with those ministers, and the mustache can't trust me." I can only open a breakthrough from Medvedev. ”

"What did you find?" Li Xiaofeng asked again.

Yakov shook his head and sighed: "There is not much useful information, I can only say that the person behind the scenes is very deep and deep, and he is quite cautious in his work. I'm afraid that even the mustache and Medvedev don't know who this person standing behind them is! ”

Li Xiaofeng muttered: "You don't know anything for a long time......

Natalia was unconvinced: "It's you who don't know anything!" After several years of investigation, we more or less know the strength of the other party! ”…,

Li Xiaofeng smiled: "You want to scare me with ghost stories again?" ”

Natalia became angry and said angrily: "That's not a ghost story! That person's strength is beyond imagination, I'm afraid you can't imagine it! His influence on Russia was real, the Black Hundred was under his command, and now there were his men in all the parties that were noisy in Petrograd! ”

Li Xiaofeng thought about it, and finally became a little more serious, and asked, "Then do you know what the mastermind behind Lu Dao wants to do?" If he is really as terrible as you say, there is no need to make money through the likes of Mustache and Medvedev in such clumsy ways! ”

Yakov and Natalia looked at each other and explained, "This is also the strange thing about us, that man does everything to make money, but he can't see where he spends it, and sometimes we suspect that he is a Grandet in the pure sense of the word!" ”

Li Xiaofeng really hopes that there is such a miser, so when he brings down the other party, he can easily accept a large amount of money, you must know that there are many places where someone uses money, and they are eager to rob the bank.

However, the other party is too deeply hidden, even if a certain immortal wants to fight a local tyrant and divide the land, it is impossible. Li Xiaofeng really didn't have a good way to deal with this black-clothed man behind the scenes, after all, immortals are not omniscient and omnipotent, not to mention that he is only half an immortal.

"So do you have a way to find this man!" Li Xiaofeng asked, "I mean, even if you can't find it directly, you can do it indirectly, for example, can you identify someone who knows him for sure." Let's go straight to him! ”

"Nope!" Yakov and Natalia shook their heads in unison.

Li Xiaofeng couldn't cry or laugh, Nima, after listening to it for a long time, it was useless at all, and he didn't stand still.

"I think we should think differently!" Li Xiaofeng said solemnly, "You also said that that bastard is very well hidden, and the existing clues are just pointing to his pawns." It's probably unrealistic for you to open a breakthrough from a pawn, and that's the main reason why you haven't made much progress in the past few years! ”

Natalia said contemptuously, "Listen to your tone, it seems like there is a better way!" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled: "Of course I have a better way, we must turn passive into active!" We're going to have to strike and force the people behind the scenes out! ”
