Struggle in Russia - Vol 3 Chapter 708
Even if there were 10,000 people who were reluctant, Spantelevich could only bite the bullet and execute the order, but he had something to say about how to execute it.
“It’s easier said than done to sneak into Maria Davydovna’s study. As a low-level servant, I can’t even approach the main house. If I want to enter, I need the full cooperation of my brothers outside!”
Varenoff asked, “How do you want to cooperate?”
“You must try to attract the attention of Maria Davydovna and the bodyguards of the main house, it is best to try to lure them away!”
Varenoff shook his head and said: “It’s impossible, it can’t be done at all! And there are too many uncertain factors. I think the best way is to sneak into the study at night to search for documents. I believe that at that time, the main house was in the Everyone should be asleep and no one will disturb you!”
Spandeleevich was speechless again, this is not going to work and that is not going to work. What do you want him to do. It is not impossible to go to the study at night, but whoever dares to guarantee that the documents will be found, and who can guarantee that there will be no accidents after entering.
But Spanteleevich knew that Varenov would not back down at all. He had to do it if he didn’t want to, and he had no choice at all.
He sighed and said, “Okay, but I asked to send a few more people to cover me outside the main house. Once I’m found, they can help me get out!”
This request was not excessive, so Varenoff agreed without thinking. At night, he sneaked into Maria Davidovna’s courtyard with his three subordinates in person, hiding outside the main house. In the grass, I nervously observed the wind and grass in the house.
To be honest, although it was not the first time to perform such a task, Varenov was still sweating in his heart, for fear that Spantelevich would be caught at the scene or disturbed other people in the room. As soon as the preparations for these days were all in vain, at that time he really had to ask Li Xiao for help.
Fortunately, Spantelevich’s skill and luck were good. Two hours later, he crept out of the back door, made a gesture to Varenoff, and got into the stable.
Varenoff followed shortly after, and after meeting each other, he asked impatiently, “Is there any gain?”
“Probably,” Spantelevich handed him a stack of documents, “I found these in the study, and I browsed briefly, and it seems that these are Maria Davydovna and Correspondence between Matvey Semenovich…”
Varenoff grabbed it immediately, and swept it through the weak candlelight. Most of the texts here were love letters between the two, and they were all lingering words. Anyway, he felt nauseous when he looked at it. After a dozen or so letters, he finally found something interesting.
“Matvi Semenovich is smuggling food and medicines, haha, this **** made a lot of black money!”
Spantelevich leaned over to take a look, shook his head and said, “It’s not a big deal, at least the amount isn’t particularly staggering, and he managed to smuggle food and medicines from abroad into Wallachia. Good thing… it’s even possible that his superiors know it clearly, or that this is the task assigned to him by the superiors.”
Valenoff also knew that this possibility was more likely, but he finally found the handle. How could he turn a blind eye and throw it aside?
He immediately emphasized: “But he is full of his own pockets! This is the evidence of the crime!”
Spantelevich sighed inwardly, he knew that Varenov wanted to grab Matvi Semyonovich’s braid too much. Objectively speaking, enriching one’s own pockets is indeed a crime and there are indeed problems, but in Russia, it is nothing at all, and even Matvi Semenovich’s fur can’t be hurt.
What’s more, these letters are unlikely to be used as evidence. After all, they are also committing a crime by stealing letters. When asked, how do they explain the origin of the letters and why they steal them?
Spantelevich suggested: “These can’t be used as evidence in court, they can only be used as clues. If we want to make a fuss about this matter, we’d better follow the clues to find other evidence…”
But Varenoff didn’t want to bother about it, because his time was limited. It’s the right way to go check it out, but how long does it take?
The commissioner has been in Bucharest for more than a week. God knows how much work has been done. How dare he wait!
“We don’t have that time! We have to deal with Matvi Semenovich as quickly as possible, so I will take this letter with me!”
Spandeleevich had some headaches. Unless Maria Davydovna was a mama, sooner or later she would soon find out that the letter was lost. Who would she suspect at that time?
Anyway, Spandeleevich himself would definitely suspect him, the groom’s deputy, who had just come in. At that time, he was still lurking in the fart! Maybe Maria Davydovna sent him to the gendarmerie directly.
Although he is not afraid of joining the gendarmerie~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, Li Xiao and Alexei are the real masters of Wallachia, and having them as their backers to join the gendarmerie is just a passing game. Of course, it will definitely be embarrassing.
What Spantelevich was really worried about was Varenov’s next move. Judging from his posture, he must be ready to directly confront Maria Davidovna or Matvey Semenovich and force a showdown. They account for the movements of the commissioner.
Spandelevich thought it was too arrogant and reckless to do so. Let’s not talk about whether Matvi Semyonovich must know what the commissioner was doing, even if he did know, a mere misdemeanor and the commissioner It is impossible for him to understand which highly confidential operation is more important.
Spantelevich felt that following Varenov’s plan was likely to be self-defeating, but now he was unable to listen to his opinions, so he was in a hurry.
And Varenov didn’t have the heart to wait for Spanteleevich to think of a countermeasure. He couldn’t wait, and said immediately: “Okay, you continue to stay here and watch Maria Davydovna, I will stay here. Joseph is waiting for you outside, if something goes wrong, you can evacuate ahead of time!”
After speaking, he patted his **** and left, leaving only Spandelevich on the spot. After a while, he recovered and cursed, “Damn!”
He couldn’t help but scold his mother. Although Varenoff seemed to have left Joseph to answer him, Joseph was on the road outside the manor, a few hundred meters away from the main house. If something really happened to him, how would Joseph answer him?
This is equivalent to leaving him on the spot. I am afraid that Varenoff was worried that he would continue to raise objections, so he simply put him aside.
Of course Spantelevich was not happy, he had firmed his confidence and could not let Varunov come!
