Valenov soon targeted Matvey Semyonovich's mistress Maria Davydovna. This woman had been with Matvey Semyonovich for nearly ten years.
, was brought all the way from Moscow to Bucharest, which clearly shows her closeness 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, it is unlikely that a high-ranking official like Matvey Semyonovich would leave a stupid vase around.
Ten years.
If Maria Davydovna is not a vase or a profit-seeking stupid woman, then how can we impress her in a short time? We even want to go to the extreme, in case she reveals to Matvey Semyonovich
What about this matter?
"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 had some truth, and he still had to pay attention.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "Well, 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 and he was a count. However, his family had been in decline since his grandfather's generation. By his time, 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 thinking early on 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 could do almost anything you wanted to do. Of course, the fees were not expensive.
It was so expensive that Valenov felt distressed: "Ten thousand rubles is 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 did not come from 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 small demon, a big pond, a shallow bastard!"
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 spies from all over the world are keeping an eye on it, which 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 had to be in the center to command once there was someone.
It would be doomed if he missed them, so it would be better for him to go and take a trip.
After a quarrel, Spanterevich won and got his wish to become the groom's assistant. To be honest, Spanterevich was a bit powerful. After all, he was also from a noble family. If he didn't have any skills and couldn't let go of his figure, he wouldn't be able to do it.
It really doesn't look like it.
He first put on makeup to make his skin darker and rougher, then pinched his nose hard, sprayed some low-quality vodka on his body, and then deliberately wore a slightly smaller coat and a frayed hem.
Shoes went to apply for the job with the agent who had great power.
At first glance, no one would think that he was a viscount, especially since he spoke fluent Wallachian, and he 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 into the Danube drunkenly!" 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 has met several people who were not satisfied.
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 Kazimir, the intermediary, who played a role," Valenov analyzed. "Maybe he has a good reputation, or maybe Maria Davydovna owes him a favor. In short, let's 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.
A. 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 precautions. 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 did not move anywhere.
To be honest, this is very strange, because a woman like her should be keen on ball salons, but she is as low-key as a prudent widow, never leaving the door or stepping out.
Spantelevich was patient, but Varynov was a little impatient. Spantelevich observed him appearing in Maria Davydovna's house several times.
