Catherine and the Black Emperor

Chapter 138. Georgy, the Russian representative.

Elias was overwhelmed by the murder of the French princess.

The same applies to William; the judiciary also brought charges against him for his enormous wealth, accusing him of accepting bribes and bribing officials to engage in clandestine activities. Several Swedish officials with whom he had close ties were investigated.

This prevents them from devoting more energy to the legislative elections.

Meanwhile, to the surprise of countless courtiers, the top hat faction actually gave up on this parliamentary election.

finally.

The parliamentary elections have concluded.

Baron Axel was successfully elected, and the Hats faction gained a stronger position!

New developments have emerged in the murder case of Princess Manon of France.

Sergei ordered that the body of the French princess be made public.

The discovery of the princess's body caused a huge uproar in Stockholm.

However, due to a lack of direct evidence, the charge that MP Elias was the murderer was invalid, which also allowed British Ambassador William to escape charges of assaulting the French princess.

The possible burial site, as well as the clues found with the body, all point to William.

British Ambassador William became infamous in Sweden overnight.

So, in one parliamentary session, when it was the turn of the hat-wearing faction to speak, it was no longer Elias who stood up, but Hedwig.

After the meeting, everyone in the court knew.

A new leader of the cap faction has emerged.

Hedwig, who has the support of two senators, Nyar and Axel, is also said to have a very good relationship with Prince Jonathan.

No.

It's not just hearsay.

Because Senator Axel is the Princess's younger brother!

The sudden rise of the cap faction made the top hat faction feel threatened, so the two sides fought fiercely in the following parliamentary sessions.

Speaker Joachim and Deputy Speaker Andrews frequently challenged and pressured the top hat faction, but Hedwig was not one to be trifled with and showed a strong side, managing to hold on under the heavy pressure from the top hat faction.

"Sergei!"

At the entrance of Hall 7, a familiar customer greeted Sergei, who immediately embraced him upon seeing him.

It was one of his two banker friends in St. Petersburg, the outgoing and eccentric Georgie.

This cheerful young man had won second place in an arithmetic competition in St. Petersburg, second only to him and another of Sergei's friends, Gleb.

Later, they went abroad to study and, after Elizabeth established the Russian National Bank, served as accounting secretary and arithmetic advisor, respectively.

Now, Georgy has risen from accounting secretary to head of the accounting department, becoming a true pillar of the National Bank and a financial genius of St. Petersburg and even Russia.

This time, he is representing Russia to conduct final consultations with Sweden on banking and trade cooperation.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Sergei was in a good mood upon seeing Georgy.

In St. Petersburg, he didn't actually have many friends, aside from his cronies and those who tried to curry favor with him for his status and position.

He had only a handful of true friends, including Naryshkin, Georgi, Gleb, and Maxim.

Pimen, Roman, Yuri, and others were not strictly speaking his friends, although they had a close relationship with him and trusted each other.

"Sergei, you don't know, Gleb has now become the deputy governor! This guy only went from being an arithmetic advisor to the secretary-general last year. He was promoted to deputy governor of the national bank by the Queen before I came. I thought I was the only one who got promoted, and my joy vanished instantly."

Georgie pouted.

Although he said that, he was actually happy that his friend had also been promoted. However, he was very competitive and always competed with Gleb. But the more he did that, the less he could beat Gleb.

My good friend always seems to be one step ahead of me.

"You're doing well too, you're already the Director of the Accounting Department," Sergei said with a smile.

"Not only is he the director, but he's also the representative for this cooperation negotiation!" Georgie said proudly.

Sergei smiled.

In fact, he knew everything about Gleb and Georgy's situation.

Pimen managed the affairs in St. Petersburg very well, and Stepan, after getting to know Catherine better, was increasingly impressed by her wisdom and decisiveness, believing that without Catherine, Peter would not have been able to secure his throne after Elizabeth's death.

Therefore, news of what was happening in St. Petersburg always reached his ears immediately.

Stepan was also suffering because of the pressure from Shuvalov.

Fortunately, Shuvalov's biggest enemy was Besdudev, so after Sergei was exiled to Sweden, the crackdown on others lessened, and the main focus shifted to the Prime Minister.

"What a pity for you, Sergei. You were originally the Vice Chairman, the Deputy Chief Steward of the Royal Household, the Senior Advisor of the Construction Department, and the Honorary Deputy Commander of the Hunting Corps. All of these made you very comfortable in St. Petersburg, but now you've come to a foreign land."

Georgy shook his head, feeling sorry for Sergei.

"You're so blunt, it makes me wonder if you're deliberately trying to upset me," Sergei said sternly.

Georgie laughed heartily.

The two went into the house, drank red wine, and chatted about the past.

"My lord, Agafia has arrived."

The steward, Roman, whispered something to Sergei.

"Let her in."

Sergei nodded. When he left Naya's mansion, Agafia asked him if he could contact her. Agafia's identity was very secretive, unlike Naya's, so he agreed.

However, he soon regretted it.

As Agafia entered, she had already taken off her warm mink coat in the living room, revealing an extremely sexy tight-fitting dress with a cutout design that exposed much of her fair skin.

"Who is this lady?"

Georgie, who was already quite drunk, sobered up considerably in an instant.

Sergei watched Agafia walk gracefully towards him and sighed helplessly.

That fairy.

Although the other party was not dressed provocatively, the tight-fitting and cutout design was extremely alluring; at least Georgi was already staring at her intently.

"Agafia, Georgie."

Sergei introduced the two men with a smile.

"Hello, hello, I am George, from St. Petersburg, Russia, and I am from the State Bank of Russia —"

Georgie stepped forward enthusiastically.

Agafia gracefully extended her hand, inviting the other person to kiss her.

"I know you are the Director of the Accounting Department of the Russian State Bank, and also the person in charge of the economic and trade cooperation talks with Sweden this time."

Judge's representative.

Georgy was taken aback, then grinned mischievously and pointed his finger at Sergei.

"Sergei, Sergei, you've already told this beautiful lady about my background! But I must say, I'm very happy that you introduced me to a confidante!"

Sergei touched his nose and patted his thigh.

Then, Georgy saw the woman who was as beautiful as an angel in his mind sitting on Sergei's lap, and not only that, she also flirted with him and gave him a kiss.

"No!"

Georgie was heartbroken.

Sergei pulled Agafia into his arms.

Georgie gulped down the wine.
