Petrovna was very confused. She had not realized that the matter would be so big and complicated before. Now it seemed that her previous guesses and backup plans were probably useless. Not only was it difficult to convince Zhenya, but also
The trouble is that the means she uses to save her life are no longer reliable.
Yes, although she had prepared for the worst before, she did not expect that the matter would be so troublesome. It would actually involve Nicholas I. She knew very well that in Russia, you would not be in trouble if you offended anyone but the Tsar.
The entire country belongs to this master, and as long as he is unhappy, he can make countless nobles with higher status than her and Shuvalov lose their reputation, become penniless, or even lose their heads in a minute.
The risk of getting into trouble with the tsar is not a question of whether it is big or not, but a question of how many brains you have capable of committing suicide like this.
Although Petrovna wants to be successful, it does not mean that she does not cherish her life. At this moment, she is really hesitant! She really wants to say sorry and goodbye to Shuvalov immediately!
But Petrovna had no chance to say that, because Shuvalov said again: "The risk does seem very high, but there are also opportunities. As long as you can convince that pretty boy, I think his ability may not be able to convince Geni."
Ya surrender!"
As he said that, he smiled again and said: "Actually, for me, it is not necessary to release Fionin to be considered a success. As long as I get the warrant issued by Bestuzhev. Ryuming, it is considered a success.
!”
Petrovna was in a state of confusion. On the one hand, she felt that even this was a big deal, and it was a deal that might cost her her head. But on the other hand, she wanted to take a chance, because if it could really be done, she would be able to bring down a person.
Bestuzhev's stay was a piece of cake, not to mention that Shuvalov also hinted that there was no need to actually release the person, as long as he got the warrant.
After much thought, Petrovna decided to give it a try. She said decisively: "It is not easy to convince that pretty boy. It will take at least five hundred thousand rubles! Without this money, he will not agree to take the risk!"
Five hundred thousand rubles is not a small amount. Petrovna thought that even Shuvalov would hesitate at this price. But what she didn't expect was that Shuvalov agreed immediately and took out the check.
I opened one and handed it to her directly.
"Here are five hundred thousand. I have only one request, act as soon as possible!"
Petrovna's mind went blank when she received the check. Although her background was not bad and she was considered to be a member of the upper class in Russia, she had never seen half a million rubles. All the wealth she had given to Yepgeni before
It was only a few hundred thousand rubles, which she had saved with great difficulty over the years. But this time Shuvalov casually handed over several times the assets, how could she not be in a daze?
It was then that Petrovna truly realized how extravagant the top Russian aristocrats were. It seemed that half a million dollars was just a drop in the bucket for them. How rich they must be!
Anyway, after seeing this check for 500,000 yuan, Petrovna became more confident. She felt that this matter might not be as difficult as she imagined. At least for the sake of the ruble, the pretty boy would definitely be willing to take the risk.
After all, he took all kinds of risks and defrauded everywhere, but he couldn't save so much money in this life, so why not give it a try?
Not many people can stay calm in the face of money, especially when they have enough money. It is inevitable that they will take chances. As the saying goes, a bicycle can become a motorcycle if you give it a try. Who wants to be so poor all his life?
Sure enough, the pretty liar couldn't hold on for long under the money offensive. After happily accepting the check, he swore to Petrovna that Zhenya would give him the key warrant.
"Sir, it looks like they are getting ready to take action!"
As Anton brought Petrovna's latest developments, Li Xiao also knew that Shuvalov was ready to take action. But what made him scratch his head was that because there was too little time and he had no reliable connections in Kiev,
He hasn't yet figured out what Shuvalov wants to do.
He only knew that Shuvalov instructed Petrovna to let a pretty boy get close to Zhenya, and that Zhenya was Bestuzhev. Ryumin's mistress. This information was too general to piece together the truth.
Anton helped analyze: "Judging from the current situation, Shuvalov must want to use Zhenia to make a fuss. They must be planning to use this woman to disadvantage Bestuzhev Liuming!"
Li Xiao raised his head and sighed, and asked: "It's too general, what's the disadvantage? Is it to damage Bestuzhev Liuming's reputation, or is he planning to let that Zhenya assassinate him? Or there are other conspiracies,
There are so many possibilities!”
Anton also nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that there are many possibilities now, but I think assassination can be ruled out. After all, although Zhenya looks like a fool, she is not stupid enough to assassinate Bes."
Tuzhev Liuming's influence is so bad that there is no chance of her being spared given her status!"
Li Xiao just nodded, and then motioned for Anton to continue: "As for damaging reputation, this is not enough. Even if their affair is exposed, Bestuzhev Liuming will only commit a crime that all male nobles will commit.
It’s a mistake, it’s nothing, it’s hard to bring him down!”
Li Xiao continued to nod and signaled Anton to continue the analysis, but it was difficult to do so at this level. Anton could only spread his hands and said: "The most likely thing is another conspiracy. This conspiracy can completely destroy Bestuge.
Husband. Stay bright, and it can still be achieved through Zhenya! I think we should keep an eye on Zhenya, this woman is so crucial!"
Li Xiao didn't object to this, because what he had in mind was basically the same as Anton's. The only difference was that he thought it was as important as the liar whom Zhenya had a fierce fight with.
"He received a large sum of money, right?" Li Xiao asked.
Anton replied: "Yes, after buying the bank's internal staff, he cashed a check for five hundred thousand rubles and deposited the money into his secret account."
Li Xiao clicked his tongue and sighed: "Fifty thousand rubles, this is really a waste of money! It seems that Shuvalov is determined to win. By the way, what is the name of this liar? Have you figured out his true identity?"
Anton shook his head and said: "His current identity is Felix Alexievich Bruning. He may be said to be a viscount, but it must be false. As for his true identity, I am still trying to figure it out."
To check, the time is too short and it is difficult."
Speaking of this, Anton suddenly asked: "I think that Petrovna must know his true identity, and she is also the key person in the incident. Should we start from her..."
