Chapter 196 Night Talk

Shuvanov finally sat down. It can be seen that the earl of Uvarov made him feel great pressure. His index finger tapped the coffee table lightly, and his eyes became more and more empty, as if he was thinking about something.

Titov, who was sitting across from him, was already afraid to vent his breath, and his heart was so heavy that he felt like a stone, as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak.

The atmosphere was a bit stagnant, Titov was waiting for the boss's instructions like a nervous subordinate, and the one who played the boss was Shuvanov.

Some people may not understand, aren't Titov and Shuvanov both young talents that Uvarov is optimistic about? It shouldn't be of equal status, the two of them should have met the feeling of sparks hitting the earth and the needle point of a needlepoint, and it shouldn't be like this now!

This is because they do not understand the truth. Although Titov and Shuvanov are both young conservatives whom Uvarov is optimistic about. But there is a clear difference in the status of the two. Shuvanov's status is obviously higher!

This is not a matter of rank. Although Shuvanov is an earl and Titov is just a baron, it is not because of his ancestors that Shuvanov can crush Titov, but because of his own ability!

If Li Xiao were sitting here, he would immediately tell you how difficult this Shuvanov is. In the future, he will be one of the giants of the conservative faction in the Russian Empire during the Alexander II period, and his status will not be below Bariatinsky.

Even Shuvanov is more dangerous than Bariatinsky, because this guy will control the third part of the secret police in the future and become the head of the Russian secret police. Later, the reason why Grand Duke Constantine resigned sadly was closely related to this man. Let’s put it this way, as a hardcore conservative, this man justly took advantage of the indiscretion of the son of Constantine and killed the Russian reformist in one fell swoop. The leader of the faction was the Grand Duke Constantine.

Of course, the key to Shuvanov's success lies in Alexander II. If it wasn't for the so-called last great tsar who had had enough of his younger brother and reforms, it would have been for Shuvanov Even with ten guts, he can't do anything about Grand Duke Constantine.

However, this Shuvanov is still very powerful. He is very active in the secret police and diplomatic fields. Although there is no special achievement in the diplomatic field, but with his activeness, it is impossible not to pay attention to him. .

As for the Baron Titov in front of him, if Li Xiao had to say it, he could only say that he didn't know him. Because this guy didn't show much brilliance later, obviously he can't be compared with Shuvanov in terms of family background or ability.

Naturally, even though Titov is now Uvarov's private secretary, he is more like a follower than the outgoing Shuvanov. As soon as Shuvanov stopped tapping on the table, he couldn't wait to ask: "Have you got a solution?"

Shuvanov nodded,

He said slowly: "I have a clue, Bestuzhev Ryumin has an affair with a courtesan of Jewish descent, this can be used!"

Titov was disappointed when he heard that, because having a woman was not a big deal to an official of Bestuzhev Liumin's level. There is nothing rare about the affairs of the nobles. Let alone one Jewish woman, it doesn't matter if he has ten or eight. It is too unrealistic to expect this to bring down Bestuzhev Ryumin.

Immediately, he muttered: "It's nothing! It's nothing unusual..."

Shuvanov just raised his head and glanced at him, and Titov swallowed the rest of what he wanted to say, which shows how much pressure Shuvanov put on him.

"If he just fucked a Jewish woman, of course it's nothing... The problem is that he fucked this Jewish woman's belly and gave birth to a son!"

To be honest, Titov still didn't think it was a big problem. Even Nicholas I had a lot of illegitimate children. It's not uncommon for Bestuzhev Ryumin to have them!

Shuvanov gave him a strange look, full of contempt. He felt that Titov, a so-called conservative talent with the same reputation as him, really did not live up to his name, and it was too simple to see the problem and think about things.

Having a Jewish woman and having an illegitimate child is naturally not a big problem, but these can be used. As long as the Jewish woman is cleverly arranged, Bestuzhev Liumin is also a grasshopper on a rope. run away?

Anyway, he had already thought of more than a dozen ways to frame the Jewish woman in such a short period of time, and what he needed to worry about was which way was better. Of course, he won't tell Titov about this, not only because these methods are a bit obscure, but also because he feels that these methods should not be known to potential competitors, otherwise, wouldn't it be less time to deal with them in the future? way.

"Okay, Bestuzhev Ryumin, I will slowly find a solution. You tell His Excellency the Earl to reassure him, and I will take care of it! Also, do you want me to arrange for you to go to Sevastopol?"

For Titov, as long as Shuvanov agreed to Uvarov's request, he was not assigned to this unfortunate job anyway, and he wished that Shuvanov could not complete it, so he would be in Uvarov's office. The status in mind will naturally be higher.

As for Shuvanov's "good intentions", Titov didn't dare to ask him to help arrange a trip to Sevastopol. He was not worried that Shuvanov would dare to make a name for himself. After all, he is now Uvarov's messenger. Shuvanov didn't have the guts to ruin Uvarov's affairs.

What Titov was worried about was that once Uvarov knew that Shuvanov had helped him, some of the credit for his journey to deliver the letter would be distributed to Shuvanov. Don't you panic?

So he rebuffed straight away: "No need, I have a suitable arrangement here, and your task is very heavy, so I won't waste your time! That's fine, I've conveyed everything I need to say, and I'll immediately Go back to the hotel and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow!"

Titov's refusal was also expected by Shuvanov. In fact, he was just being polite. Of course, if Titov is really so stupid to accept his kindness, then he doesn't mind taking credit for nothing. .

After sending Titov away, Shuvanov was not idle for a moment. He immediately called his butler and explained:

"Continue to closely monitor the Jewish woman's movements, and contact Mrs. Petrovna and tell her that I invited her to the theater..."

After finishing the order, Shuvanov stretched his waist happily. He walked to the window with a glass of red wine. Looking at the night scene of Kiev, he suddenly laughed: "Beautiful Kievan Rus, it seems that I am very happy." I'm about to say goodbye to you..."
