Chapter 1141: Admonishment at the Cost of Life

At this moment.

Somewhere in Saint Petersburg.

A group of people from Tsarist Russia gathered secretly.

They held documents in their hands, passing them around to read.

The more they read, the more furious their expressions became!

"Bastards!"

"This Menshikov is simply a parasite!"

"How can he profit from a national crisis!"

"This..."

Looking at the contents of these documents, this group of people was filled with uncontrollable rage.

In these documents, all they saw were two words: greed!

Endless greed!

Shocking greed!

These people were, naturally, the committee specifically established in Tsarist Russia to target Menshikov; their job was to collect evidence of Menshikov's corruption! Who would have thought that Menshikov could not withstand an investigation at all! This committee had only been established for a month, and they had already collected so much evidence!

This evidence of corruption was enough for Menshikov to die ten times over!

However...

He was still so high-profile in Tsarist Russia! He never restrained his own greed for wealth! He acted openly and brazenly, disregarding the laws of Tsarist Russia! The reason was none other than that he was a favorite minister of Peter the Great! And everyone knew that he was the lover of Yekaterina!

Arrogant!

Too arrogant!

"Is His Majesty so muddled now!"

"This parasite must be eradicated!"

"If things go on like this, what will become of us!"

This group of bearded men had the heart to kill Menshikov.

After all, in Tsarist Russia today, there were plenty of people who could not get enough to eat. The problem of the people's food and clothing had not yet been solved, yet Menshikov, as "Grand Marshal," was lining his own pockets and had even become the richest man in all of Europe! This was a truly terrifying thing; even the great tycoons of Britain, France, and the Netherlands were not this exaggerated!

And in a country like Tsarist Russia, where the national strength had not yet fully developed, the appearance of such a person was truly too exaggerated!

After the anger.

The scene became quiet and oppressive again.

So what?

Even if they possessed this evidence, so what?

Tsarist Russia was still a country of Absolute Monarchy; in Tsarist Russia, only what Peter said was an Imperial Edict! If he did not want to punish Menshikov, no one had any Method!

"No! We must think of a Method!"

"Such a parasite is definitely a scourge to the country!"

"What Method can we think of? This Menshikov is His Majesty's favorite minister; he is absolutely unwilling to touch him!"

"Too arrogant!"

"Completely undisguised!"

These people were all helpless.

A big man finally could not help but stand up and roar: "Whether it works or not, I must go and tell His Majesty!"

"This matter must not be allowed to continue!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

This person was the initiator of this committee, Osilev!

He was a famously hot-tempered man in Tsarist Russia, upright in character, and could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. In the assembly, he was Menshikov's old rival!

"This..."

"Osilev..."

"His Majesty is..."

Osilev ignored them and turned to walk out the door.

Holding that evidence in his hand, he walked down the street, shouting as he went: "The corrupt crocodile Menshikov! He is hated by both men and gods; His Majesty cannot ignore this! Osilev offers this Admonishment at the cost of his life!"

At this, the people on the street were all startled and gathered around one after another.

Admonishment at the cost of his life!

Suddenly, the entire Saint Petersburg became lively.

Crazy!

There was actually

someone who dared to offer an Admonishment at the cost of his life and report Menshikov by name! Was he tired of living?

A sensation.

The effect was very sensational.

Even Menshikov at the Menshikov Palace received the news at the first opportunity.

"Osilev?"

After hearing this news, he did not care at all and laughed loudly: "Just a clown, and he wants to take me down? A madman, a madman, not worth mentioning!"

He was not afraid at all.

"Keep dancing, keep going!"

In his palace, the singing and dancing continued as before.

His gaze was obsessed with that group of beauties, and he was somewhat beside himself.

In Tsarist Russia, no one could touch him yet!

"Marshal..."

The beauties from Longyan, each with a delicate and charming appearance, made him drink large gulps of fine Vodka. He didn't care at all how lively Saint Petersburg was right now.

Admonishment unto death!

Osilev suddenly became the focus of Saint Petersburg.

He walked along, denouncing the crimes of Menshikov; those who heard were shocked, but at the same time, they dared not echo him.

It was evident to what extent this Menshikov's status in Tsarist Russia had reached.

There were quite a few onlookers, though.

Because just listening to these crimes was indeed enough to sentence Menshikov to death!

However... could Osilev really take down Menshikov?

Very soon.

Surrounded and watched by these onlookers, Osilev arrived at the palace in Saint Petersburg.

Peter the Great, his Empress Yekaterina, and a group of Councilors were already waiting there.

Menshikov!

It was Menshikov again!

Peter the Great sighed; this companion who had grown up with him since childhood was always so troublesome. Beside him, Yekaterina gently stroked Peter the Great's back, seemingly helping him calm his anger.

"Osilev, what is the meaning of this?"

Peter the Great coughed and asked loudly on purpose.

Osilev said righteously: "Your Majesty, Menshikov is a thief of the state! A thief of the state! He amasses wealth wantonly, without any scruples; in all of Tsarist Russia, no one is as wealthy as him! No one is as wealthy as him! Your Majesty, if this continues, Tsarist Russia will be destroyed, it will head toward destruction!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Some believed it, while others felt that this Osilev was exaggerating.

But when the evidence documents in his hands were released, everyone was stunned.

Peter the Great looked at these documents and also furrowed his brows.

Terrifying!

Greedy!

"This..."

"Osilev... are you sure this is true?"

"This is impossible!"

"If this is the case..."

Everyone's reactions were different, but they all looked at Peter the Great at the same time.

It was not yet known whether the evidence above was true or false, but if it were not true, Osilev would not have dared to bring it to this council...

Silence.

The entire council suddenly became quiet.

Peter the Great's anger also rose; this Menshikov, the punch he had given him last time, he clearly had not learned his lesson at all!

Because among these pieces of evidence, the most serious one was the issue of military provisions!

Menshikov was profiting from a national disaster, which was something all of Tsarist Russia could not accept.

He had already committed a great taboo!

The atmosphere of the scene became tense for a moment.

Would Peter the Great punish him?

Peter was just about to speak.

Yekaterina, who was beside him, spoke up: "Your Majesty, at present

the country is at war. Although Menshikov went too far this time, at least in the transport and equipment of provisions, he was methodical and arranged everything properly. Regarding the matter of punishment, I think..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of almost everyone present became intriguing.

Good grief.
