Struggle in Russia - Vol 3 Chapter 706

Varenov soon targeted Matvey Semenovich’s mistress Maria Davydovna. This woman has been with Matvey Semenovich for nearly ten years, from Moscow to Bucharest, which shows her closeness to Matvey.

“This woman definitely has enough influence on Matvi Semenovich. As long as we can get through her joints, it will not be difficult to find that commissioner.” Varenoff said confidently.

Spandeleevich also agrees with this idea, but he thinks that it may not be so easy to open up the joints. After all, a high-ranking official like Matvi Semenovich is unlikely to keep a stupid vase by his side. ten years.

If Maria Davydovna is not a vase or a mercenary stupid woman, how can she impress her in a short period of time? I even wanted to be extreme, what if she revealed this to Matvi Semenovich?

“I think it is necessary to be cautious and not act rashly, otherwise once this woman informs Matvi Semyonovich, it will be a shock!”

Varenoff’s brows moved, obviously he was not happy with Spandeleevich’s remarks, he always felt that he was a little intimidated and afraid to do things, but his words had some truth, and he really had to pay attention.

After thinking for a while, he replied: “Well, let’s not contact the woman directly, find a middleman to do it!”

The matter is settled like this, the middleman is not difficult to find, no matter where or in the circle, there is no shortage of such people who match and earn intermediary fees.

The middleman that Spantelevich found was a run-down noble from Wallachia. His title was not low, but he was an earl, but he had been in the middle since his grandfather’s generation, and in his generation, there was only one noble left. Just a title.

However, this guy is very smart. He didn’t put on the air like other run-down nobles who couldn’t let go of his body. He changed his thinking early, all looked at money, and began to use his aristocratic status and social network to make money.

He has been very successful and has become a well-rounded character in the Bucharest aristocracy, who can do almost anything you want, and of course, the fees are not ordinary.

It was so expensive that Valenoff felt distressed: “10,000 rubles, just to help introduce a job, this is too dark! Not to mention St. Petersburg, Paris does not have this price!”

Spanteleevich also thought it was expensive. After all, the funds in their hands were not blown by the wind, and they spent a quarter of the money in one fell swoop. It would be distressing for anyone, but he thought it was worth it: “At least he helped him. He sent our people to Maria Davydovna’s side, although he was only the groom’s deputy, he could definitely get in touch with Matvey Semenovich!”

Varunoff sighed and said, “I know, I just think Wallachia is a ghost town like a temple, a small demon, a big pond, a shallow king, a lot!”

Indeed, Spanteleevich also felt this way. When he arrived in Bucharest, he found that the situation here was very special. What they used to do in St. Petersburg did not work at all, and probably because of the war, this place was used as a front-line Russian army. The headquarters of the company is particularly critical, so that secret agents from all over the world are staring at it, which also indirectly leads to a serious premium in the intelligence market here.

A trivial piece of information can sell for thousands of rubles, and even a little bit of information is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Anyway, it can scare you to death.

“Who will be the groom’s second-in-command?” asked Spanteleevich.

Varenov has also thought about this issue for a long time. He wants to go out in person. After all, the matter is too critical, but Spantelevich disagrees. He believes that Varenoff is the commander and must be in the center. If they miss it, they will be finished, so it is better for him to go to Spandeleevich.

After some contention, Spantelevich won and became the groom’s assistant. To be honest, Spantelevich is also a bit powerful. After all, he is also a nobleman. If he doesn’t have a bit of skill and can’t let go of his figure, it really doesn’t look like it.

He first applied makeup to himself to make his skin darker and rougher, then pinched his nose hard, sprayed some low-quality vodka on his body, and deliberately wore a slightly smaller coat and sanded edges. Boots followed the amazing agent to apply.

At first glance, no one would think he was a viscount, especially since he could speak fluent Wallachian, and he really looked like a local aboriginal.

“It’s alright, I can trust the person you introduced, Kazimir, but let him drink less alcohol in the future. I don’t want him to be drunk and send me into the Danube!” Maria Davydovna said nonchalantly. said.

It was both happy and strange for Spanteleevich to pass the border so smoothly, because as far as he knew, this woman was relatively cautious, not only in her low-key style, but also strict in calling people. It was said that the position of the coachman’s deputy had been vacant for some time. She has seen several people who are not satisfied.

If it wasn’t for knowing that he was wearing makeup by a dozen years, Spantelevich would have thought that Maria Davydovna had taken a fancy to him, but if he hadn’t coveted his “beauty”, how could this woman be so happy? ?

“It should be Kazimir, the intermediary that played the role,” Varenoff analyzed. “Maybe he has a good reputation, or maybe Maria Davydovna owes him a favor. In short , Ignore this for now, Kira, your task is to keep an eye on Maria Davydovna, especially the situation where she and Matvey are together!”

In fact, Spanteleevich really wanted to mention another word to Varenoff, it is better to be more careful in case of fraud, but Varenoff didn’t want to hear it at all and didn’t care, he didn’t pay much attention to Mary. Ya. Davydovna, I think she may be a little clever, but she is still a woman. How can a woman like her be so powerful?

However, Spanteleevich still took precautionary measures. He rented a small apartment in Bucharest, and he never contacted Varenov unless it was necessary, just for fear of being investigated.

For a week in a row, his daily work was either walking the horses and cleaning the stables to clean up the horse manure, or doing nothing, because Maria Davydovna was almost at home these days, not moving anywhere.

To be honest, this is very strange, because a woman like her should be keen on prom salons, but she is low-key like a observant widow, who does not go to the door.

Spanteleevich was patient, but Varenov was a little impatient. Spantelevich observed him appearing in Maria Davydovna’s house several times. Outside, it looks like patience is running out…
