Witte fell asleep in his thoughts, and when he woke up to find that it was already dark outside the window, and remembered that Beloeva might still be worried about herself, so she got up and got dressed and didn't open the door, and a clerk from the provincial government at the door immediately stepped forward and asked: "Your Excellency, Secretary-General, I don't know how I can help you?" ”

Witte looked at the young man in front of him who was about his age and was just a clerk in the provincial government, but he had become the "butcher" feared by everyone in the Russian officialdom, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Witt himself knew that the reason why he was able to get to this position was partly because of his family background, and partly because of the right timing. The first part allowed him to come into contact with Nicholas II as a child, and the second part was that Nicholas II had just ascended the throne and needed to stand up in front of the old bureaucracy, and at this time he appeared. Witt asked, "I wonder where the young lady who came with me is staying?" I wanted to go over and see her, she was quite frightened today. ”

"Your Excellency, that young lady is next door to you, and she came to visit you about an hour ago, and when she found you asleep, she went back to the house." The clerk replied.

Witt looked at the clerk and asked, "What's your name?" I don't have a retinue by my side, would you like to come with me to Petersburg? Witt didn't know what kind of mentality he was in, maybe he thought it was not easy for this young man to help him, or maybe he ...... Werther really didn't know.

The clerk was stunned for a moment when he heard Werther's question, and then replied: "Your Excellency, my name is Pavel. Anisimmović. Zagoev is fortunate to be favored by His Excellency the Secretary-General. ”

"Oh, Zagoev, all right, in that case, you can send me something to eat, and by the way, send some food to the young lady, and say I'm fine, and I'll go see her tomorrow morning." Witt nodded and said, and then went into his room. Zagoev, who was outside the door, really did not expect such an opportunity, could it be that the prayer in front of the Virgin Mary played a role? Looks like I'm going to have to go to church as soon as possible to thank you.

The next day, Witte got up early, and when he opened the door and found that Zagoev was still on guard at the door, he couldn't help but say, "Didn't you go back to rest last night?" ”

When Zagoev heard Werther's words in a haze, he immediately sobered up and replied nervously: "Your Excellency, Secretary General, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken a nap. ”

"No, that's not what I'm talking about." Witt said in a bad tone, "Now, you go back to rest immediately, if you don't have a good state, how can you work normally." ”

Zagoev was immediately moved when he heard it, thinking about the leaders who usually had a little power in the office hall and yelled at him, and let him work overtime no matter what he did, this time he asked him to come over to take care of His Excellency the Secretary-General, but also because this master was famous and no one dared to take it, so he let him come, but he didn't expect this person to be described outside at all, but he gave people a very warm feeling, yes, it was very warm. Zagoev didn't know how to reply for a while, and then Witte continued: "Zagoev, you go back and rest first, and come back in the afternoon, just in the morning I was going to go to Vilnius Street casually." ”

"Ah, is that someone to keep you safe? After all, that's just happening now. Zagoev came back to his senses and heard that Werther was going out for a walk, so he replied.

Witt smiled faintly and said, "No, if someone follows, it will attract the attention of others." At my age, walking on the streets of Vilnius, many people probably don't think I'm a big official. Okay, you go back and rest first, remember to come to me in the afternoon, I will go and talk to Governor Akinfeev about your job transfer. ”

"Okay, sir, then I'll go back first." Seeing this, Zagoev had no choice but to speak, and Witt nodded after hearing this, and then Zagoev left.

After Zagoev left, Witt looked at the next room and guessed that Beloeva must still be resting, after all, yesterday's incident was too shocking for a noble lady who had always lived a sweet life, so Witt went back to the house to change his clothes and walked out of the gate of the provincial capital.

On Vilnius Street in early summer morning, many people have already risen, some are in a hurry to go to the morning market, and some are jogging on the street. Werther walked down the street, breathing in the fresh air, bought a random newspaper from this morning as he passed by a newsstand, then found a café, ordered a cup of coffee and a few loaves of bread, and sat down at a table outside the café to look through the paper.

Witte flipped through the newspaper, and sure enough, it was mostly describing yesterday's assassination at the station, and also lashing out at it, apparently an officially published newspaper. Although the ban on newspapers in the Russian Empire is not very strict now, in Finland, Poland, Lithuania and other places, newspapers promoting independence will certainly not be published normally, especially in the local language.

"Sir, you can do well, give me something to eat." Werther was reading the newspaper when the sound of a boy begging, with a local Lithuanian accent evident in his voice. Werther looked at the dirty, ragged, skinny little boy, and he knew that no liar here would deliberately dress like this for the sake of sympathy, so he took out some change coins and put them in the bowl that the little boy stretched out, and said, "Go buy something to eat, don't be hungry." ”

Seeing this, the little boy immediately bowed his head and thanked him, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Werther smiled and touched the little boy's dirty, greasy head, then got up and left. At this moment, a voice came from behind him: "Russian pig, what kind of good people are here?" If it weren't for your occupation of our land, would he have fallen like this? ”

Werther turned to look at the man who was speaking, of medium build, formally dressed, with a cup of coffee and two loaves of bread on the counter, and, of course, a newspaper in French, apparently a highly educated man, for French was not readable by ordinary people. Witte looked at him coldly and replied in standard French: "This gentleman, even if I am Russian, I have given this poor boy some change out of my kindness so that he can live." But what about you? Obviously you are a well-educated local, but what did you give this kid when he passed by you? Compared to you, I think I'm doing a more noble job in this matter. ”

The man obviously understood Werther's words, and his face turned white for a while, but he knew that the Russian had done a better job than he had done with the little boy, so he silently bowed his head and took a sip of his coffee and looked at his French newspaper.

Witt didn't pay any attention to the troubled man, but glanced at the little boy who was nervous from the conversation just now, and said softly, "Go buy something to eat." Listening to Werther's words, the little boy relaxed, then thanked him and ran away, Werther sighed as he looked at the little boy who was gradually moving away, and continued to stroll through the streets of Vilnius.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was noon, and Werther didn't know where he had gone, but he felt that his legs were a little swollen, obviously because he had walked too much and his legs were a little tired. So he saw that there was a place to rent a carriage in front of him, so he walked forward and asked, "Carriage, are you renting it?" I'm going to the provincial government building, how much does it cost? ”

"Sir, it's very close to the provincial mansion, it only takes you 50 kopecks, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" The groom replied with a smile.

Witte thought that 50 kopecks was indeed not very high (mainly because he did not know the distance), so he replied: "Okay, then you will send me to the provincial government building." So saying, Werther got into the carriage, and then felt the carriage start slowly. Perhaps he felt sleepy while walking, and with the shaking of the carriage, Werther fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, but when Witt woke up, he saw that the carriage had stopped moving forward, so he asked curiously, "Coachman, has it arrived?" ”

As soon as Werther spoke, he did not see a reply, and just as he was about to get off the train, the door of the carriage was suddenly opened, and only one person was heard saying: "Damn Russian dog, if you want to live, take out the money!" Werther was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that this was a robbery, and Werther's mood at the moment was like tens of thousands of grass and mud horses galloping by.
