Chapter 706 Impatient

Valenov soon targeted Matvey Semyonovich's mistress Maria Davydovna. This woman has been with Matvey Semyonovich for nearly ten years, taking him from Moscow to Bucharest, which shows how close she is to Matvey.

"This woman definitely has enough influence on Matvey Semyonovich. As long as we can open up her joints, it will not be difficult to find the commissioner." Valenov said with confidence.

Spantelevich also agreed with this idea, but he thought that it might not be that easy to open the joints. After all, a high-ranking official like Matvey Semyonovich was unlikely to leave a stupid vase around. More than ten years.

If Maria Davydovna is not a vase or a stupid woman seeking profit, then how can we impress her in a short time? Even thinking about going to the extreme, what if she revealed this matter to Matvey Semyonovich?

"I think we must be cautious and not act rashly. Otherwise, once this woman informs Matvey Semyonovich, she will be alerted!"

Valenov's brows moved. He was obviously not happy with what Spantelevich said. He always felt that he was a little timid and dared not do anything. However, his words made sense, and he still had to pay attention.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "Let's do this. Let's not contact the woman directly, but find an intermediary to do it!"

The matter was settled like this. It was not difficult to find a middleman. No matter where or in any circle, there was no shortage of people who could make matchmaking and earn intermediary fees.

The intermediary Spantelevich found was a run-down nobleman from Wallachia. His title was not low, he was a count, but his family had been in decline since his grandfather's generation, and by his generation he was really only a nobleman. Just a title.

However, this guy was very smart and did not put on airs like other run-down nobles who couldn't let go of their figure. He changed his mind early and focused on money, and began to use his aristocratic status and social network to make money.

He was very successful and became a well-rounded figure in Bucharest's aristocratic circle. He can do almost anything you want to do, and of course, the fees are not expensive.

It was so expensive that Valenov felt distressed: "Ten thousand rubles, just to help introduce a job, this is too dark! Not to mention St. Petersburg, Paris doesn't have this price!"

Spantelevich also felt that it was expensive. After all, the funds in their hands were not blown by strong winds. They spent a quarter of it in one go. It would be distressing for everyone, but he thought it was worth it: "At least he helped Then we sent our people to Maria Davydovna's side. Although she is only the groom's deputy, she can definitely get in touch with Matvey Semyonovich!"

Valenov sighed and said: "I know, I just think that this ghost place of Wallachia is a temple, a little demon, a big pond, a shallow tortoise!"

Indeed, Spantelevich also felt this way. After arriving in Bucharest, he found that the situation here was very special. What they had done in St. Petersburg before did not work at all, and probably because of the war, this place served as the frontline for the Russian army. The headquarters is particularly critical and is closely watched by spies from all over the world. This also indirectly leads to a serious premium in the intelligence market here.

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

"Then who will be sent as the groom's deputy?" asked Spantelevich.

Valenov has also considered this issue for a long time. He wanted to take action personally. After all, the matter was too critical. However, Spantelevich disagreed. He believed that Valenov was the commander and must command from the center. Once someone It would be doomed if they missed him, so it would be better for him to go away.

After a dispute, Spantelevich won and got his wish to become the groom's assistant. To be honest, Spantelevich is also a bit powerful. After all, he is also from a noble family. If he doesn't have any level of skill and can't let go of his figure, he really doesn't look like him.

He first put on makeup to make his skin darker and rougher, then pinched his red nose hard, sprayed some low-quality vodka on his body, and then deliberately wore a slightly smaller coat and frayed edges. Boots went to apply for the job with the powerful agent.

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

"It's okay. I still trust the person you introduced Kazimierz, but let him drink less in the future. I don't want him to send me drunkenly into the Danube!" Maria Davydovna said nonchalantly. said.

Spantelevich was both happy and surprised that the customs clearance was so smooth, because according to his understanding, this woman is quite cautious, not only has a low-key style, but also is strict in hiring people. It is said that the position of the coachman's deputy has been vacant for some time. She had met several people who were dissatisfied.

If he hadn't known that he had aged more than ten years with makeup, Spantelevich would have thought that Maria Davydovna had fallen in love with him. But if she hadn't coveted his "beauty", how could this woman be so happy? ?

"It should be Kazimierz, the middleman, who played a role," Valenov analyzed. "Maybe he has a good reputation, or maybe Maria Davydovna owes him a favor. In short, ignore these things for now, Kira. Your task is to keep an eye on Maria Davydovna, especially when she is with Matvey!"

Spantelevich actually wanted to tell Varynov that it was better to be more careful to prevent fraud, but Varynov didn't want to hear it 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. No matter how powerful a woman like her can be, how powerful can she be?

However, Spantelevich still took precautionary measures. He rented a small apartment in Bucharest and never took the initiative to contact Valenov unless it was necessary, just for fear of being caught by the investigation.

For a week in a row, his daily work was either walking the horses, cleaning the stables, cleaning up the horse manure, or doing nothing, because Maria Davydovna almost stayed at home these days and didn't move anywhere.

To be honest, this was very strange, because a woman like her should be keen on ball salons, but she was as low-key as a prudent widow, never leaving the door or taking a step forward.

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