What else could Matvey say besides nodding? Could it be that he was not cooperating? Besides, their demands were not high, and they were just at a point that he could accept.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Alexey eagerly, and his meaning was very clear: should he fulfill his promise and let him go to pay back the money?
Alexey naturally would not continue to set up obstacles. After all, Matvey was still useful, and he would be a troublesome person in the future if he was really convicted. So he issued the release order without hesitation and let Matvey go happily.
Already.
"It seems that we are going to check on Viscount Cordo." Alexey said very relaxedly.
Li Xiao strangely didn't reply, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he replied: "We must investigate, but we must be careful!"
Alexey was surprised, because in his impression, Viscount Kordo was not a big shot. He had no prominent background, and his position in Wallachia was only a senior adviser to the Wallachian Ministry of Finance.
.
Moreover, he has not heard that this person has any serious social connections. If this is the case, why must he check it carefully?
Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's normal that you haven't noticed Viscount Cordo. Just like you said, he has no background and no authority, and he is not the white glove of a big shot. But this person is definitely not simple! Before I
of people have paid attention to him!”
Alexey was surprised. The target that Li Xiao's people had paid attention to was not only very important, but at least it needed to be treated with caution. Anyway, his military police would never pay attention to an inconspicuous little person for no reason.
consultant.
He quickly asked: "Why should you pay attention to him?"
"Several reasons," Li Xiao thought for a while and replied: "When Grand Duke Constantine gave us trouble before, he contacted Viscount Cordo privately, and my cousin's emissary entered him more than once.
It’s obvious that he is connected with Grand Duke Constantine.”
Alexey nodded. He was someone who had connections with Grand Duke Constantine and also served in Wallachia's important Ministry of Finance. This really required close attention.
"I think the reason why Grand Duke Constantine opened his mouth so loudly is probably because Viscount Cordo leaked our financial situation."
Alexey's face suddenly turned ugly. Although the revenue and expenditure of the Ministry of Finance was not an absolute secret, openly betraying it to Grand Duke Constantine also showed the problem. At least this guy was definitely not one of his own.
Li Xiao continued: "Since then, he has been on my key watch list. However, although he continued to have contact with Archduke Constantine's people and betrayed some of our intelligence, most of it was irrelevant.
, and he didn’t directly cause damage, so I just stared at him and didn’t take any action.”
Alexey nodded, because he also knew that it didn't matter if he took action. Such a painless crime was just to drive him away. But you can guarantee that Grand Duke Constantine will not go looking for the second Cordo.
Viscount, with his power and financial resources, it is not difficult to do this.
Valley
It would be better not to leave Viscount Cordo alone, as keeping an eye on him would be equivalent to keeping an eye on Archduke Constantine's spies, which would be safer.
"This is not all his problems," Li Xiao glanced at Alexei and added: "After observing him for several months, my people discovered that the viscount was not only connected with Grand Duke Constantine, but also with Serbia
, have close ties with Bulgarians and Hungarians. He has long been dealing with businessmen from these three countries, most of whom have espionage backgrounds!"
Alexey was taken aback and exclaimed: "Do you think he is a spy?!"
Li Xiao shook his head and said: "No, I don't think Viscount Cordo is a spy. I'm afraid he is a senior spy in the third part. His main task is to collect intelligence in the Balkans."
"This can also be seen from his ability to receive the mysterious commissioner. Otherwise, this task should be given to Matvey, not to a pawn like him!"
Alexey thought for a moment and thought that Li Xiao's analysis was reasonable. From this point of view, Viscount Cordo might have done this. But this was enough to surprise him, after all, he had thought that Viscount Cordo was not good enough.
He is a mediocre passerby. Who would have thought that such a seemingly mediocre guy would be responsible for such a confidential task behind his back?
Thinking of this, Alexei felt more and more terrified of Nicholas I. Look at his arrangements for the Balkans and Wallachia. There were also apparent monitors like Matvey Semyonovich.
, and there are countless hidden spies like Viscount Cordo. If you show no mercy, you will be caught. It is not that difficult to make a name for yourself in front of him!
Li Xiao guessed what Alexey was thinking and comforted: "You don't have to be too nervous. Most of the spies like Viscount Kordo are not here for us. Their main task is to monitor the Turks and the Balkans."
Dong Xiang, you don’t think that my uncle is determined to fight this war without doing any investigation, do you?”
Alexei sighed and said: "I know, but it's still worrying! God knows how many Viscounts of Cordo are hidden around us, and God knows how many pairs of eyes are watching us... When I think of this, I feel
Uncomfortable, I feel uneasy all over!”
Li Xiao also sighed and said: "This is the effect my uncle wants. He just wants all his subjects to feel uncomfortable and think that he is monitoring everything!"
Alexey spat angrily: "What a pervert, a complete control freak!"
Li Xiao fully agreed with this: "Who says it's not the case! But it doesn't matter, he will soon find that he can't control anything, he is so powerless!"
Alexey probably knew why Li Xiao said this. In a sense, it really made him happy to hear it. He really wanted to see what Nicholas I looked like when he faced the mess.
But he soon thought that if Nicholas I was so helpless, the situation in Russia would definitely not be much better. As a patriot, how do you think he felt when he watched his motherland fall into a quagmire and be unable to extricate itself?
"Stop talking about this!" Alexey shook his head. This was not the first time he had this kind of entanglement. He knew that it was useless to think about this and he might as well do his own thing. He asked: "What are you going to do?
Dealing with Viscount Cordo?”
"There's no way to deal with it!" Li Xiao sighed faintly and said: "His identity is too sensitive, and now he is even more involved with the commissioner. Apart from keeping an eye on him to see what he plans to do, we just pretend to have nothing to do with him.
