Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 1469: Conscience is broken



Minih actually didn't care. He felt that Duke Vorontsov, Count Nikolai Milyutin and Grand Duchess Elena could do nothing to him. After all, the reason why he delayed things was because he was ordered by Alexander II. With the Tsar backing him, what would happen even if the three people above him were highly dissatisfied?

It's impossible to remove him from his post, right?

Of course, on the surface he still had to respect these three people, and immediately smiled and said: "Your Excellencies, I have explained it several times. The Ministry of Justice is working overtime to review the relevant bills, but it does take time. I can promise you this. , once the relevant departments of the Ministry of Justice complete the review work, we will notify you as soon as possible!”

Minih felt that his attitude was extremely correct, and he rejected the three Dukes Vorontsov with reason and restraint.

If these three people started to fight regardless, then he would have enough reason to fight back in self-defense.

In fact, he was a little bit looking forward to these three people getting into trouble. After all, he had had enough pressure from the reformists these days, and he had long thought about fighting back and slapping them in the face. It's just that there has never been a suitable opportunity. Now I can stop pretending to be a grandson and vent his anger. What do you think he thinks?

However, things did not develop in the direction he imagined. Faced with his unreasonable provocation, the three Dukes Vorontsov showed no intention of getting angry. Instead, they looked at each other and smiled, as if they had guessed what he would answer.

Nikolai Milyutin said: "You mean that the reason why it has not been possible to complete the review of the relevant bills is because the departments under the Ministry of Justice have not completed the review of the relevant laws and regulations. Once the relevant departments complete the work, Can the review be completed immediately?”

Minih was a little confused. What he said was a common rhetoric used by bureaucrats. In fact, it was just a means of deniability and could not be taken seriously at all.

If anyone believes this, they are really being taken advantage of and fools. But depending on what Nikolai Milyutin and the others mean, do they really believe it?

Minih felt that the world was so wonderful. Could it be so easy to fool these three people? If he had known they were so naive and stupid, why would he have bothered?

He immediately replied confidently: "Of course, it's that simple! As long as the relevant departments complete the review, and then I will review and summarize it here, it will be passed. I really don't need you to keep urging..."

If you only looked at his expression, you would think he was so aggrieved!

But Duke Vorontsov and others who are familiar with the inside story know that this is all nonsense. There is not a word of truth in Minih's mouth. If they believe his lies and are deceived, they may have to help count the money.

Duke Vorontsov and the other three smiled at each other again. This was what they and Minih had been waiting for for so long. You said that the relevant departments have not completed the review, right? Then we have to ask!

"Well, if you put it that way, which departments didn't complete the review?"

Minih didn't expect that the other party would break the casserole and ask the truth, and now he was a little embarrassed. Should we pass the blame to the lower departments, or should we continue talking nonsense like we just did?

He thought for a few seconds and felt that continuing in circles would be self-defeating. You just said that as long as the following departments have completed the review, it will pass. Then when people ask which departments have not completed the review, you just ignore it. This is obviously problematic and insincere!

When the lawsuit comes to Alexander II, he will not be able to shield him too much. After thinking for a while, he replied: "Not many departments have completed the review, and most of them have not. Please rest assured that I will urge them to complete this work as soon as possible and ensure that I give you a satisfactory explanation!"

The words were spoken beautifully, but I still couldn't believe a word. However, Duke Vorontsov and the others would not believe it in the first place, and waiting for him to speak would be just a formality.

"Really?" Duke Vorontsov took over and said to Minih with a sneer: "But how did I hear that all departments of the Ministry of Justice have actually completed the review, but you have been obstructing it and refused to pass it?"

Minih's heart skipped a beat and he felt very bad, but he replied with a sense of luck: "This is definitely a rumor! It is impossible for me to do such a thing. It is really that the review work of various departments has not been completed. Please be sure Don’t listen to rumors, you must believe our Ministry of Justice..."

Duke Vorontsov interrupted his words with a wave of his hand, and said loudly: "I would like to believe you, but you are really sorry for my trust... You said that the departments below have not completed the review, right? That's simple, I have already Invite all the supervisors of your departments here and ask them to tell you whether the review work has been completed!"

With that said, without waiting for Minih to speak, he directly opened the door and called in all the heads of the Ministry of Justice.

"Everyone, look for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. You have all heard what I just said. According to Count Minih, you did not complete the review, and the responsibility lies entirely with you. Then tell me whether the review work was completed. Done!”

At this moment, Minih was completely dumbfounded. He really didn't expect Duke Vorontsov and the others to catch all the heads of the Ministry of Justice and call them over to confront them.

Wasn’t this **** diorama immediately exposed?

He was still thinking about saving it, so he quickly interrupted: "Your Excellency, I think..."

Duke Vorontsov waved his hand again and said forcefully: "I'm not interested in listening to you. Now I ask your subordinates to tell you whether the review work has been completed!"

Under the strong pressure of Duke Vorontsov, whoever dared to lie to these little shrimps in the Ministry of Justice immediately rushed to answer: "Your Excellency, the review work has been completed, and we have sent the relevant report to Minih Earl. It’s really not us who are being lazy and deliberately procrastinating!”

Minih almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. These brats sold him out in a matter of minutes. Didn't this cost him his life?

If he had known that these guys were so incompetent, when he took office, he should have purged these **** and replaced them with a group of confidants who truly had his heart.

Of course, if the heads of the Ministry of Justice could hear his voice, they would deliberately dismiss and sneer:

Nima, the reason why you stayed with us is not because we all gave you money and fed you. Otherwise, can you let us continue to be this official?

The pressure is so great now that we can't bear it any longer. You, the one in charge, have been silent all this time, and you have been hunkering down to watch the fun, and you blame us for not being of the same mind as you?

Is your conscience broken? If you could work harder and share our pressure, how could you make things like this?
