Neridova left Cartier Capertistrias's box "satisfied". To be honest, this made the latter relieved. Cartier is a young man, but he is not stupid. He knows that there is no way in this world.
There is no such thing as pie in the sky, and this time Neridova suddenly came to him and told him a piece of news that could help him get ahead, which made him very vigilant.
If it were not certain that the news about Nelidova was indeed beneficial and harmless to Neserrodie, Cartier would never agree to be a lobbyist. Of course, even so, Cartier still maintained the final vigilance. Just now in the box was
The final test of Neridova was just to see what the purpose of this woman was.
The result of the test made him relaxed. Neridova still only wanted money and nothing else. This made Cartier completely relaxed.
But what Cartier didn't know was that he had actually been fooled. All of Neridova's skills were acting skills. It was true that she was interested in money, but she had no interest in the smuggling business in Greece. She was just following a certain
This is just what people ask for.
Neridova said coldly to Count Rostovtsev in the carriage: "Count, let's settle everything now!"
Count Rostovtsev, who is particularly good at concealing himself in the dark, replied calmly: "That's natural. We are clear, and the Greek smuggling business will be your reward! Please feel free to enjoy it!"
Neridova was really afraid of this gloomy man, because she could never read his true inner thoughts from his face. This man was like an iceberg or wearing a thick steel mask.
Neridova was also a little strange. She didn't understand how Count Rostovtsev suddenly intervened in the affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even went in a roundabout way to remind Neserrodie through her what his purpose was? Could it be possible?
dangerous?
Without understanding this, Neridova was really worried whether her behavior would bring trouble to Count Kleinmicher, so she cautiously tried:
"Count, what do you want to do? If you want to make a good deal for the Prime Minister, just say so. I believe you are definitely more important than that Greek, and the Prime Minister should trust you more!"
Count Rostovtsev just glanced at Neridova and did not answer her question directly, but asked: "Are you sure you want to know my purpose?"
This sentence made Neridova choke, because she wanted to know Rostovtsev's purpose, but she didn't believe this man who was full of tricks. She wanted to use the means she was good at or to sidestep or attack.
In short, it is a relatively covert way to achieve the goal.
Now being asked by Count Rostovtsev, she felt a little chilled. She was worried that this involved some unknown political conspiracy, that she would be killed by Count Rostovtsev, or that she would be implicated in bad luck afterwards.
So she immediately didn't want to hear it, but what kind of temper Count Rostovtsev has is the kind that catches you by surprise.
Just listen to him saying slowly: "I think you will also be interested. To put it simply, Neserrody has been prime minister for too many years, and I don't want him to serve for too many more years!"
Neridova's scalp exploded. She was afraid of this. She couldn't hide from the strife and infighting at the highest level. Who expected that she would take the initiative to have fun today? At this time, she was full of regrets.
So she was really frightened and almost rolled out of Count Rostovtsev's carriage and ran away as if there was a vicious dog chasing her.
After Neridova escaped, Igor, who was sitting in the coachman's seat, took off the cloak that concealed his face and joked: "Count, why are you scaring this lovely lady!"
Count Rostovtsev replied calmly: "Because women like to talk too much and can't control their mouths. In order to avoid future troubles, it is better to solve the problem directly!"
Igor burst out laughing and seemed to be in a really good mood: "You are so merciless! If His Majesty knew how you treated his beloved kitten, haha..."
Count Rostovtsev was still so calm and did not feel that he had done anything wrong at all. He said calmly: "Your Majesty will not know. I believe that Ms. Nelidova will keep her mouth shut!"
Igor laughed again, and after a while he said: "If the Prime Minister knew that we had helped him so much, how grateful would you be to us!"
Count Rostovtsev replied expressionlessly: "No matter what we do, he will not be grateful to us, that is his nature! What's more, I don't need his gratitude!"
Igor was speechless at Count Rostovtsev's silence. This time they had spent a lot of effort. In order to advance Duke Alexander Gorchakov's suggestion, they had done countless work and mobilized countless resources to let Nikol
King La I made up his mind, but when he came to Count Rostovtsev, it seemed that these were trivial matters worth mentioning. Wouldn't the Count be excited?
However, this little bit of resentment does not dampen Igor's good mood. For reformists like them, breaking through the rules and regulations of the current system is a belief and a persistence. Neserrodie's unappetizing coordinationism policy has caused great harm to people in recent years.
They are disgusted. If this cage is not destroyed and the Holy Alliance, the evil alliance that suppresses reform and revolution, is not eliminated, then things will never change.
Especially in recent years, Austria has always used the Holy Alliance to suck blood from Russia. It's time for the lazy Austrians to wake up.
"What should we do next?" Igor asked eagerly.
Count Rostovtsev said calmly: "Keep calm and do nothing!"
Well, Igor almost choked to death, but then he thought about it and realized that there really wasn't much he could do at this time. The rest depends on whether Alexander Gorchakov is strong enough and whether he can give Austria a chance to die.
People were hit hard.
However, he still reminded: "With the Prime Minister's temper, he will definitely cause trouble behind the scenes! Don't we need help?"
Count Rostovtsev said calmly: "No need, it's useless whatever he does. And don't underestimate Duke Alexander Gorchakov too much. He is much more powerful than you think.
A little trouble can’t trouble him!”
"But you'd better pay more attention to the situation of your little master, and don't let the third part and Ordorf cause too much trouble to our children!"
