Chapter 647: An Unexpected Opportunity

After the secret incident of the Anglo-French attack on Russia was quelled in a very unexpected way, the Russian political arena ushered in a rare calm, but behind this calm was often an unpredictable storm, as for whether it was a storm, it is difficult to say, and as for when it will come, no one will know.

Time will tell.

And time did pass quickly, in the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and Lu Wen, who had already mixed a familiar face in the Russian upper class, took this opportunity to do a big thing in Russia.

This business emperor took the dream business empire as the core enterprise, and then united dozens of well-known business owners in the Chinese Empire to hold a unique trade fair in Moscow, the capital of Russia, and used this as a platform to grandly launch some relatively rare new products produced by the Chinese Empire, so as to enhance the influence of Chinese Imperial enterprises in Russia and expand the market in Russia.

This immediately attracted the attention of many people and caused a sensation in Moscow, and in the end, the exhibition was very successful, and after that, the people of Moscow rushed to buy goods produced in China, and thus formed a Chinese fever.

As a result, China's influence in Russia has risen to a new level.

To this end, Lu Wen specially held a private reception to celebrate the success of the exhibition, and took the opportunity to thank those who had helped the Chinese Empire, including the Minister of Economy - Belinsko and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce - Gutavov and others, and to Lu Wen's surprise, this reception attracted some big people who had not been in contact with Lu Wen before, such as the old Prime Minister Lebezovsky and the military general Zhukov and others, these people came uninvited.

Especially Lebezovsky and Zhukov, Luvin was not only quite surprised by their arrival, but also a little happy. He originally intended to invite these people, but the key is that these people can't be invited if they want to, and he has no dealings with people in the first place, so how can he invite people, so he is uninvited to these people. Lu Wen's heart was more of a surprise.

And it is precisely because of the arrival of these people that the reception was held very successfully, and thus attracted more eyeballs, which made the reputation of the dream business empire in Russia even louder.

Of course, this was not the only takeaway from the reception, and by taking advantage of this opportunity, Luvin successfully established certain relationships with high-ranking figures, including Prime Minister Lebezovsky and military general Zhukov, which laid a solid foundation for the further development of relations in the future.

And among these people, the two people that excite Lu Wen the most are two. Lebezovsky and Zhukov, these two are not ordinary people, one is the prime minister under one person and above ten thousand, and the other is more likely to be the future tsar, the status can be described as extremely noble, but such figures are successfully attracted by him, and Luvin's excitement is understandable.

But. Lu Wen vaguely knew that the two of them were not just here for this reception, and seemed to have other hidden purposes. So, he kept his heart to himself, until he saw the scene of the two of them chattering with Belinsko and Gutavov, and it dawned on Luvin that the purpose of the two of them was the other two.

It's kind of interesting.

Belinsko and Gutavov were also quite surprised by the uninvited arrival of Lebezovsky and Zhukov. They had long known that Luvin had no relations with other Russian politicians other than them, so Lebezovsky and Zhukov were not invited, but they appeared here unexpectedly. Apparently also a little surprising to Belinsko and Gutavov.

At the same time, Belinsko and Gutavov also knew that the purpose of their coming here must be not simple, and they couldn't help but be vigilant.

To tell the truth, among these two, they are not very worried about Lebezovsky, Belinsko and Gutavov, because this old prime minister is recognized as a good old man, and he is still nominally the leader of their civilian bureaucracy, and more importantly, this old guy is not very good now, and he turns a blind eye to many things, so Belinsko and his two have no precautions against his arrival today.

And Zhukov's arrival made Belinsko and Gutavov a little worried, this guy is a general of the military, in this kind of business situation, what does he come to do, he has nothing to do, it is either a traitor or a thief, so he comes, it must not be a good thing.

Several people had their own thoughts, and they were careful to guard against each other.

And between these people, there is a ball of harmony on the surface, but behind the scenes, there is an undercurrent surging, no one knows what they are thinking, what they want to do, and Lu Wen doesn't know, but he knows that these people are not so dealing.

And the disagreement between them is the gospel of Lu Wen and the Chinese Empire, and that is a good thing. Moreover, what the Chinese Empire and Lu Wen want is their disagreement.

However, no matter what, under Lu Wen's fine arrangement and dedication, nothing major happened, and finally ended smoothly and successfully, and those invited or uninvited guests also returned happy.

All in all, it was a happy party, and everyone parted happily.

Of course, there were elements of discord, but this was after the reception.

After the reception, something unexpected happened.

Dead people, someone was killed at the scene of the drinking party.

The person who was killed was a maid, who was temporarily invited by Lu Wen, although the murder case is not a trivial matter, but for those who are in a high position all day long and in the midst of prosperity, it is like the death of an ant, which has little to do with them.

However, this time, the dead man is related to these people with special status.

It's all because something was found next to the deceased, something that was enough to make a difference.

Witnesses found a pocket watch next to the deceased, which was eventually identified as a court item, and what was even more surprising was that it was given to General Zhukov by the Tsar.

Produce tho, this is still Zhukov's belongings.

In this way, the problem is big, it is a big thing that Zhukov's belongings will appear next to the deceased.

And the matter was soon heard by the heavens, and the tsar knew about it.

As soon as the tsar heard that this matter was related to Zhu Kefu, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered Zhukov to be imprisoned for further processing, and issued a strict decree, if it was finally confirmed that Zhukov had done it, the tsar would never spare him.

So, Zhukov was quickly arrested.

And whether this matter was done by Zhukov or not, this Zhukov is really unlucky, isn't this just attending a banquet, the dignified imperial general, the candidate for the throne has become a prisoner, think about it, Zhukov should feel depressed.

In fact, Zhukov also felt very depressed.

He is a dignified general, the second-in-command of the Western Military Region of the Empire, how noble his status is, how could he kill an unarmed maid, and what is his motive, Zhukov feels so resentful.

Originally, Zhukov did not plan to attend today's drinking party, he was invited by Prime Minister Lebezovsky to be a guest, which was really unlucky.

Originally, the old prime minister wanted to join in the fun, and felt that it was too boring to go alone, so he dragged Zhukov to accompany him, and he didn't expect to meet his rival for the throne Gutavov at the reception, which was quite surprising to him, but although this Gutavov was an opponent with him, he still had to have a demeanor in front of outsiders, so Zhukov was also quite decent and gossip with Gutavov, just like two old friends for many years, and finally handled a qiē quite decently.

And what really made Zhukov even happier was that he had the opportunity to come into contact with people from all walks of life at this reception, originally, he was a member of the military, and it was difficult to win the support of people from other quarters, but now that he has a relationship with these people, as long as he manages it well, he will still have the opportunity to pull some of them to his side in the future.

This was what Zhukov wanted to see the most, so he also resorted to some means to consciously woo some people whom he thought were useful, and to his delight, these people also seemed to be interested in contacting him.

This made Zhukov feel that the trip was worthwhile.

But who would have thought that not long after this laughter dissipated, something like this happened, and someone died at the drinking party, and it was related to Zhukov.

This is really too surprising.

And this sudden accident caught Gutavov and Zhukov off guard.

Gutavov felt that this happiness had come too quickly, and he almost thought that he was dreaming, and if Zhukov was gone, he would be the only one left to continue the throne, that is, he would be the next generation of tsars.

The next generation of tsars? Gutavov trembled with excitement just thinking about it.

And Zhukov kept complaining, always saying that he was wronged.

It is precisely because of Zhukov's existence that the attention of this case is unprecedented. (To be continued......)
