After dinner, Nicholas II sat on the sofa with a book in his hand and looked at it quietly, while Witte stood aside, and after a while Nicholas II said: "Vasya, you have handled this matter very well, and I am very pleased. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Everything is given by His Majesty." Witte replied respectfully.

Nicholas II smiled faintly and then said: "This time Sverdlov acted in charge of the secret police department, although he did a good job in the early stage, but he did not know about this incident in advance, which led to the hasty response of the entire empire, and he deserved it." But the work of the secret police department must continue, and I am ready to let you temporarily act as the secret police department, and you must do it. ”

Witte was shocked when he heard this, so he replied: "The minister does not dare to expect such a position, and besides, the minister is afraid that he will not be entrusted by His Majesty." ”

"No, you're up to the task." Nicholas II said, "You were one of them, and you know how their organization works. Although Ulyanov was arrested this time, this evil organization is bound to resurrect, so it must be closely monitored. And this secret police station is not only responsible for monitoring those evil organizations, you also have to show me more about those ministers, and if they have different intentions, you must also tell me as soon as possible. Rest assured, I will give you my full support! ”

Seeing this, Witt had no choice but to reply: "The minister will definitely do this for His Majesty." ”

Nicholas II nodded and said, "Well, I'll go to the secret prison to see Sverdlov later, I don't want to hear anything in the court that I shouldn't hear." After the visit, you can go back today, there is nothing to do here. ”

Witte retreated as ordered to go to the secret prison where Sverdlov was held, where Alexei the Elder had brought him and told him that there had been an untold number of secret executions since Peter the Great, and that the executions were all of the great names who had been very popular. When Witte arrived, he forgot to glance through the window of the cell door, and found that Sverdlov's hands and feet were firmly imprisoned by thick iron chains, the front of which was a sharp iron hook, which had now pierced Sverdlov's limbs, and Sverdlov's face was covered in blood, and it was obvious that he had been tortured when he came here.

Witt asked the guard to open the cell door and walk in, then let the guard withdraw. Witt walked up to Sverdlov and said, "Director Sverdlov, do you still recognize who I am?" ”

Sverdlov, whose face was covered with blood, raised his head, and when he saw Werther, his body shook concretely, and the four large thick chains were pulled and made a screeching sound, and Sverdlov's mouth made a whining sound, but unfortunately he couldn't say a word after his tongue was cut out. Seeing this, Witt said, "Director Sverdlov, don't struggle, struggling will only make you more painful, won't it?" I think when you were the chief of the secret police, many of the people you arrested were like this, did you think that you would be where you are today? ”

Sverdlov's body shook even more when he heard Werther's words, causing blood to spill out of his wrists and ankles, and Werther looked at it and said slowly: "Sverdlov, should you think that such a tsar is worthy of serving him?" If you don't do it well, you will have a different head. I can tell you that I came here because the Tsar came to ask me for your life, because you know too much, and the Tsar is afraid that you will appear in court. After saying that, Werther shouted outside, "Someone! The guard opened the cell door and walked in, and Werther said to him, "Be quick, don't let him feel pain." ”

The guards quickly went out to summon their companions, while Werther stepped out of the cell and closed the door, then watched from the window as the guards suffocated Sverdlov to death. Witte shuddered at this scene, then took out a cigarette and took a sharp breath and spit it out, when the cell door opened and the guard came out and said, "Your Excellency, it's all done." ”

Witt nodded, threw the cigarette on his body to the guard, and then said, "That's good, I'll go and report to Your Majesty when I'm done with the body." Then he turned around and left, and the sound of the guards thanked him.

After leaving the secret prison to report to Nicholas II, Witte walked out of the Winter Palace, and looked at the dark night outside Witte felt even colder, so he tightened the collar of his coat and got into the carriage. Sitting in the carriage, Werther closed his eyes and recalled everything about the day, his tears kept pouring out of his eyes, and the expression that had been suppressed for a day was finally vented at this moment, but he couldn't cry out loud. After a long time the carriage stopped, and the coachman opened the door and said, "Your Excellency, you have arrived." When Witt heard this, he opened his eyes and got out of the carriage and said to the coachman, "Go home too, go and tell your family that you are safe, and come and pick me up on time tomorrow morning." The coachman said gratefully, and drove the carriage away, while Werther went out into the darkness of the night.

At secret point No. 1, the people of the Petersburg Marxist Association were still anxiously waiting, and the time agreed with Witte had passed at this moment, and Chaginov was even more anxious, when there was a knock at the door - "Dang dang, dang, dang dang", Chaginov immediately ran to the door and opened the door, and at this moment the cold wind outside the house poured in, and the warm air inside the house also surged. Chaginov asked in surprise: "Vasya, is it really you?" ”

Witt smiled indifferently and said, "If it weren't for me, who would come to this place on such a cold day?" Let me in, I'm freezing to death! When Witte walked into the house, he saw that everyone was there and greeted them one by one, and when he came up to Nikonov, Witt joked: "Ivanovich, you almost put me in the hospital again in the morning." ”

Nikonov touched his head in embarrassment, and then Chaginov asked: "Luka said that Sverdlov was taken away by the Guards, are you okay?" ”

"No, what can I do." "Sverdlov has been put to death, and His Majesty the Tsar has chosen him as a vindication sheep," said Witte. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts fell to the ground, but Witt continued: "Ilyich is probably going to be exiled to Siberia, but fortunately there is no fear of life." Then she saw Krupskaya standing on one side and said, "Nadya, I'm sorry! ”

Krupskaya said: "Vasya, I know that you are actually more sad than me, don't worry, I will wait for him to come back." Werther was silent for a moment and then said: "Ilyich, it's for the revolution, but rest assured, I'll keep Ilyich safe, and I'll keep in touch with him from time to time." Now I would like to arrange the specific work of our association after this incident. ”

Witte watched everyone sit down and said: "The failure of this incident is a wake-up call for us, now the Tsarist reactionary regime is still very strong, and our strength is very weak, so what we have to do now is to continue to strengthen our strength." In view of this, I would like to arrange the following recent work: first, all the members should disperse and leave Petersburg and wait until after the feast of the Nativity; Second, a committee meeting was convened immediately after the Feast of the Nativity to add new members. ”

After Werther finished speaking, Lepnina asked, "Why did you let us evacuate?" ”

"Ramimanov and others handed over the list of all the members of the committee to the secret police department, and now they will definitely find out everyone according to the map." Witte said slowly, "Therefore, everyone must first evacuate Petersburg secretly, and when things have calmed down, I will inform everyone before returning, everyone's safety is the first priority." Seeing that it was almost early morning, Werther asked everyone to rest here, while he left in a carriage at Chaginov's behalf.
