I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 45 Siberian Cold Current
  Ya Er was assassinated and Ya San ascended the throne.

From the perspective of conspiracy theory, Ya San is the most suspect in the assassination of Ya Er.

It is absolutely impossible for Ye Luoxin. He only hates the people of the People's Democratic Party, and his relationship with Yaer is not fake.

The person who came was Police Inspector Shebeko, who also had the identity of being the founder of the Holy Brothers Alliance.

The League of Holy Brothers was an organization established after Asia II was assassinated. Most of its members were nobles, ministers, and policemen. The purpose of this organization was to protect the Tsar.

The League of Holy Brothers has developed rapidly and currently has branches in Moscow and St. Petersburg with more than 10,000 members.

"Your Highness, we need General Yeluoxin to cooperate with us in investigating a matter, not an arrest." Shebeko never expected to meet Nikolai in George's manor.

The Holy Brotherhood is a royalist party, Nicholas is the crown prince and the allegiance of the Holy Brotherhood.

"What's the matter?" Nicholas looked ugly. This was his first time attending a banquet in more than a month.

Although Shebeko and Sudeykin mentioned above are both police inspectors, their work contents are different. Sudeykin is a national police officer, while Shebeko is a secret police officer.

Last month, ASAN appointed Ignaev as Minister of Interior. After Ignaev took office, he announced the "1881 Security Law" to protect national security and maintain public order.

According to this decree, the police have the power to investigate and arrest anyone suspected of state crimes, extending the rights originally reserved to the gendarmerie to the state police and secret police.

In Russia, the state police is a formal police agency, while the secret police is more of an intelligence agency, mainly responsible for institutional censorship and controlling the exchange of people's ideas.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, my work is only responsible to Your Majesty." Shebeko was still very brave and did not answer Nikolai's question directly.

This question is also inappropriate.

At this moment, all the gentlemen and ladies attending the banquet have arrived, asking such questions in public. If Shebeko dares to disclose the content of his work, then he, the head of the secret police, will no longer have to do it.

What Shebeko did was right, but he ignored an issue.

Nicholas is a child, and it is time to save face.

When he was with George, Nicholas acted very sensible and took good care of George.

When facing other people, Nicholas is not so good-tempered.

"Leave immediately. You are not allowed to appear here again without my permission." Nicholas was really close to George and completely regarded George's affairs as his own.

"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with you -" Shebeko struggled, he didn't want to give up.

But Nikolai——

Now Nicholas is just the crown prince.

But one day in the future, Nicholas will become the Tsar.

How long can he continue to work as a police inspector after offending the future tsar?

"I'm here, and this matter has nothing to do with me!" Nicholas' dignity cannot be violated. George is also a member of the royal family and Nicholas's uncle. How can this matter have nothing to do with Nicholas.

If Yelokhin is taken away by Shebeko in this way today, no matter what the reason is, tomorrow this matter will spread throughout St. Petersburg and become the talk of people.

Nicholas certainly cannot let this happen, as it is also damaging to the dignity of the royal family.

"Prince Yurievsky——" Shebeko finally saw that George was belatedly arriving.

George's expression was colder than a glacier, and frost could be scraped off his face. He was angrier than ever.

Yeluoxin is George's tutor and the steward of the Yekaterin Palace. If Shebeko takes him away for such a reason, then George will never be able to raise his head in St. Petersburg in his life.

Who cares about George, the Duke, if he can't even keep his own butler?
  Neither can Super Duke!

The higher the title, the greater the loss. "Who allowed him to come in?" George ignored Shebeko at all.

"Honorable Duke Yurievsky, I have a formal search warrant." Shebeko also realized something was wrong at this time.

The police inspector was not qualified to be a guest of Super-Prince Yurievsky, so Prince Peter did not send an invitation to Shebeko.

Before Shebeko came, he didn't know there was a banquet in George's manor, let alone that Nicholas was here.

If he knew, he would be in big trouble.

Why do you, a police inspector, pay attention to the Crown Prince's daily travels?
  There is no need for the police to worry about the safety of the crown prince. Being a member of the Guards is a free meal.

This is still related to the security law just announced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Shebeko was also confused, thinking that he had no fear if he had a search warrant. He did not think about it, how would the military police handle this kind of thing if it were replaced by the military police?

The most the military police can do is send a letter of assistance to the Yekaterin Palace for investigation. As for whether the Yekaterin Palace pays attention to it, the military police have no control over it.

It is impossible to arrest someone at their door.

It also depends on who you arrest. George is a member of the royal family, so he is against himself?
  Be funny!

"The search warrant allows you to search the residence of Super Duke Yurievsky?" Prince Peter was sinister and deliberately confused the search of Yelokhin's house and the search of George's residence together.

This was an offense not only to George, but to all the aristocracy of the Russian Empire.

If this kind of thing is not prohibited, the police can come to George today to arrest Yeluoxin, and tomorrow they can go to Prince Oldenburg's house and turn Prince Oldenburg's house upside down.

It’s hard to tell if there is anything shameful about George.

There are a lot of shady things in Prince Oldenburg's house. If they are all uncovered in broad daylight, Peter can go to Siberia with his family to grow potatoes.

"I just came to ask General Ye Luoxin to assist in the investigation-" Shebeko was sweating profusely. A crown prince, a super duke, and a prince put too much pressure on him.

Oh, there was an archduke next to him who didn't speak.

Next to it, there was a large group of gentlemen and young ladies watching the fun.

This damn thing offended the Russian aristocracy all at once.

"Get out!" Nicholas couldn't bear it anymore.

Shebeike fled in despair.

Power is a good thing, but it can also be dangerous.

Nicholas stayed and went to understand the situation with George.

"It's Gorbunov -" Yeluoxin gritted his teeth. If Gorbunov were in front of Yeluoxin at this moment, Yeluoxin would tear Gorbunov directly into pieces.

"What happened to Gorbunov?" Nicholas was curious, and he was very impressed by Gorbunov.

"When I came back a few days ago, Gorbunov gave me a book -" George then remembered.

Nikolai gasped in the Siberian cold.

"Where's the book?" George asked Ye Luoxin for a book, but he hadn't read it yet.

"I gave the book to Dalia, and I had to make sure there was nothing wrong with the book before I gave it to you." Ye Luoxin didn't know the content of the book either. He didn't like reading at all, and he probably couldn't understand it.

Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief and let out the cold air.
