Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao knew very well who Matvey Semyonovich was. As the person in charge of the third department of Wallachia, this guy was actually the spy placed by Nicholas I around him and Alexey.

Although he seemed to have done nothing in the past few years and was extremely quiet, Li Xiao did not dare to despise him and sent people to pay attention to his movements for many years.

As for the woman Maria Davydovna, Li Xiao also paid close attention to her. He knew very well that the relationship between this woman and Matvey Semyonovich was more than just a lover's relationship.

Although she rarely appears in public, she maintains quite complicated interpersonal relationships secretly. Let's put it this way, many people in the pro-Russian forces around Wallachia have close ties with her, and this woman is fully responsible for the business activities that Matvi Semyonovich has done in private.

It can be said that Maria Davydovna is the second-in-command in the third part of Wallachia, but Varynov wants to blackmail such a shrewd woman. This is not a big deal in front of Mr. Guan. ?

"Are you sure that idiot Varynov intends to blackmail Maria Davydovna?" Li Xiao asked sharply.

Spantelevich was startled by Li Xiao and didn't understand why someone suddenly changed his face. Wasn't it because he was involved in a social butterfly who sold his sex life? What's all the fuss about?

"Social butterfly?" Li Xiao was surprisingly angry. He slapped the table and said angrily: "You are so stupid that you think Maria Davydovna is just a vase. Where do you get the confidence that you don't know anything? You dare to act nonsense if you don’t understand! Is this how you serve Count Rostovtsev?”

Li Xiao was really angry and criticized mercilessly: "Maria Davydovna is not a social butterfly, she is Matvey Semyonovich's most important assistant, and she has everything in her hands." With the economic power of Wallachia Part 3, even I dare not underestimate her, but you have the audacity to blackmail her! Are you stupid or stupid!"

Spantelevich's sweat suddenly dropped, and he also realized the seriousness of the matter. If Maria Davydovna was really that important, Valenov tried to find fault with some trivial mistakes. , that is really humiliating oneself!

It is not just a matter of humiliating oneself, but will produce a series of serious chain reactions. With Maria Davydovna's shrewdness, it is very likely that she will use the trick to catch all of Valenov's men. Then came the torture and interrogation. Spantelevich could not guarantee that everyone in his group was a tough guy. If someone couldn't bear the torture and confessed that Count Rostovtsev sent them here, it would be fun. Big!

At this moment, Spantelevich was both shocked and happy. He was surprised that Maria Davydovna was so important and crucial, and that they had the audacity to provoke such a woman. Fortunately, he came to see Li Xiao tonight, otherwise he would really have created a huge trap!

"I'm sorry, but we were too reckless... Your Majesty the Grand Duke, we must stop Valenov immediately. I'm worried that he will take action overnight!"

Li Xiao looked at the gradually whitening sky outside the window, and his brows were full of worry. He calmed down and asked: "I will send someone to invite Valenov over immediately, and I will let him understand what happened." The seriousness of the situation, and you, I hope you will return to Maria Davydovna immediately and continue to be the groom's assistant!"

Spantelevich was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Li Xiao meant, because he thought it would be better to ask Valenov to come over and explain the matter clearly together in person.

Hearing this, Li Xiao snorted coldly: "What do you know! If you disappear suddenly, Maria Davydovna will definitely arouse suspicion, and then the third part will follow the clues to hunt you down. It will be the same then. trouble!"

"And you are sure that Valenov is a very good communicator. If he knew that you came here overnight to make a report, what do you think he would think of you?"

After a few words, Spantelevich was said to be confused. He really hadn't considered this issue. It seems that he is really not suitable to stay. With Valenov's personality, he will definitely feel betrayed and will never do anything again in the future. They won't trust him and may even exclude him.

Spantelevich scratched his forehead. For the first time, he felt how powerful Li Xiao was. He was indeed more considerate than him and even took care of such details.

Li Xiao continued: "On the other hand, according to you, Valenov is already a little over the top. I don't think that a lunatic or a lunatic can handle the current complex situation, so I hope you can help me keep an eye on him." , remind me the next time he wants to go crazy like today, so that he doesn’t mess up everything!”

Spanterevich snorted. He didn't like this task a bit. It made him feel like a rebel. But if you want to say that Li Xiao's words don't make sense, that's just telling lies.

Li Xiao saw that he had concerns and immediately said: "This is for his own good, otherwise if he goes crazy like today, no one can save him then... And if Count Rostovtsev is here, he will also agree. My method of disposal..."

When Spantelevich heard about Count Rostovtsev, he immediately shivered. It is true that it is a bit unpleasant to be a rebel, but it is better than ruining Count Rostovtsev's big event, right?

Although he respected Valenov, he respected Count Rostovtsev even more. At that moment, he nodded seriously: "I understand, I will supervise Valenov to ensure that he does not make wrong decisions... But if If something happens, how can I contact you?"

"I will send someone to follow you. When the time comes, you can contact him directly and he will help you."

After sending Spantelevich away, Li Xiao fell into deep thought. Valenov's actions undoubtedly touched his sensitive nerves. Although it did not turn into the worst result, it still reminded Li Xiao. ——We can’t let Valenov do whatever he wants. We must give this guy a wake-up call and let him know who has the final say in Wallachia.

"Your Excellency, I don't understand what you are talking about," Valenov tried not to admit at first after being invited to the gendarmerie. "I have never heard of Maria Davydovna, let alone Possibly sneaking into her house to steal, this is a despicable frame-up!"

"Really?" Li Xiao sneered, "Then please tell me why these letters appeared in your room. It can't be that the postman sent the lady's letter to you by mistake!"

When Valenov saw those letters, his expression immediately changed and he said angrily: "Who gave you the power to search my residence!"
