Views:

The captain covered his face and said, "Major Hu, I also gave the order, but no one listens. I will never be merciless when dealing with the communist brothers, but if they are allowed to shoot their relatives, they will be hard-hearted. It's hard to get started."

With ragged clothes and dirt, Jiang Chengbo crawled in and hugged Liu Chenglong's thigh, begging his father to tell his mother, "Commander, I have nothing now. Please call me the shots."

Jiang Chengbo is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce, but this person is too greedy. Zhang Fengshan doesn’t have much contact with him. Seeing him end up like this, he can’t help saying: “Brother Cheng, I reminded you that the price of rice rises three times a day. In the current situation, hoarding rice is easy to make money, but it is also easy to arouse public outrage. You just don’t listen. You would rather feed a squad of nursing homes than open a warehouse for food. Now regret it

Liu Chenglong once asked Zhang Fengshan to hoard some rice to make money, but Zhang Fengshan tactfully refused. Seeing Jiang Chengbo so miserable at this moment, he admires Zhang Fengshan's vision even more. He usually hates Uncle Jiang Cheng, because this guy is very stunned. Now that he sees that he has nothing, he ran to his headquarters crying and crying, feeling bad, so he raised his foot and kicked him aside and said, "You deserve it, who Tell you to hoard your odds? I'm polite if I didn't investigate and deal with it. If you don't get out of the way, I'll catch you and put you in jail."

Hu Kongzhao saw Liu Chenglong’s attitude and fell into trouble: "As the saying goes, people who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. You are self-inflicted. Who tells you that you are not greedy enough to swallow the elephant and the tree attracts the wind. But your rice will not be sold and the hungry will not rob you. Who to grab?"

Seeing that the wall fell and everyone was pushing, Uncle Jiang ran away in fright. In the afternoon, the teachers and students of Wencheng Middle School and some dockers held a massive demonstration. Walking in the front of the team was Ye Yuexia. They held up the slogan "Anti-hunger, anti-civil war, anti-oppression" and shouting slogans. It is required to punish the murderer and protect people's livelihood.

These two incidents aroused the vigilance of the Kuomintang County Party Headquarters and Wencheng Secrecy Station. Soon, various organs, organizations, schools, and troops in the county have set up anti-communist "anti-rape secrecy teams."

On the county government's side, the county mayor Hu Kongzhao also organized the county’s reactionary forces into two joint defense teams, Wenxi and Wenbei, to deal with emergencies.

One evening, Zhang Fengshan was walking on his way home. Suddenly, an old woman holding an orchid stopped him and said, "Sir, can you buy an orchid?"

Zhang Fengshan ignored it and still strode forward.

The old woman continued to shout loudly: "There are orchids...flowers, good orchids, come buy them if you know the goods, don't miss the opportunity."

Zhang Fengshan's heart moved. He thought that the old woman's yelling was a bit strange. He clearly heard her pause between "Lan" and "Flower". "There are orchids...flowers". He seemed to ponder in his heart, and suddenly understood, to the people who followed him. The two guards said, "You two are waiting here. I will buy an orchid for my wife."

Seeing him turning back, the old woman smiled and said, "Sir, I knew you were a flower savvy." While talking, she picked the one with the most flower heads and stuffed it into Zhang Fengshan's hand.

Zhang Fengshan felt that there was a note in his palm, he understood, and he paid the money and went home quickly.

The note read the words "Xinsheng Bookstore, pay attention to the tail". After reading it, Zhang Fengshan couldn't help being a little surprised. He opened the window and saw the pedestrians on the road in front of the door like weaving, no different from usual.

Zhang Fengshan destroyed the note and told Xu Yuqing that he had socializing and went out in a hurry. Not long after walking out, Zhang Fengshan found that there was a cigarette stand at the cross street, and walked over to meet him, saying, "Come on, it's better."

The tobacco vendor agreed: "Okay." He said and passed the cigarette to Zhang Fengshan.

Zhang Fengshan noticed that there were two calluses on his hand, located at the position of the tiger’s mouth and index finger. These were formed by the gun for a long time. Knowing that he was a spy, he didn’t immediately walk away. He opened the cigarette case, took out one, lit it, and then directed it towards himself. I glanced at the direction of my home, and from this position I saw everything in front of my home.

Zhang Fengshan's mind turned quickly, whose person is he? It is more likely to be Zhou Jin, but it is not ruled out that Fang Jiqing is. Since Li Xingwang was killed, Zhou Jin has been furious and vowed to find the murderer. Zhou Jin learned from the store clerk that a man in school uniform was passing by that day, so he asked him to identify all the photos of people with the rank of colonel in Wencheng. The store clerk recognized Zhang Fengshan at a glance. Although the matter was not over, Zhou Jin began to suspect Zhang Fengshan. As for the county party headquarters, after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, Zhang Fengshan was appointed by Fang Jiqing as a county party committee member. The post of section chief was held by someone else. He was promoted in name, but he had no authority.

Zhang Fengshan walked towards the pier. He stopped in front of a stall with clay sculpture handicrafts. He pretended to be interested in picking up this one and then another, looking at him from the corner of his eye. In the direction, there really were two people in black sneakingly, seeing him stop and pretending to admire the calligraphy and painting on the pavement.

Zhang Fengshan wondered how to get rid of his "tail". He walked to the front of Wencheng Hotel and suddenly got an idea, so he walked in quickly and said to the guy in the shop: "I'm from the headquarters. I have important official duties. I can borrow you. As soon as the back door is used here, if someone asks me, they say I went upstairs."

Zhang Fengshan went out of the back door, took a short cut across the street to the Xinsheng Bookstore, and was about to go in. Only a handsome young man in a suit came over and said, "Chief Zhang, please come with me."

Zhang Fengshan hesitated, then the queen said softly: "I am Youlan."

Zhang Fengshan didn't expect that she was disguised as a man, and under the dim light, she would not recognize it if she reminded her. He followed Xu Youlan through the back door of the bookstore and entered the house. This was a reception room, separated from the shop in front by a wooden door, and there was a bedroom next to it.

Xu Youlan removed the huge Chinese painting next to the bedroom, revealing a hole, and said: "Let's go to the basement to talk."

The basement is not very spacious, and there is a small square table with a kerosene lamp lit on it.

Xu Youlan said: "Fengshan, to tell you an unfortunate news, Lao Wei died."

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Zhang Fengshan was a little unstable. After a long time, he said, "How did Old Wei sacrifice?"

Xu Youlan told the story of Old Wei's sacrifice: Yesterday morning, when she was going to Old Wei's residence, she suddenly saw a few suspicious elements nearby. This group of strangers never came out after they entered. She asked the people around. Someone told her that there was a power outage in the early morning. Then there were fierce gunshots. She was too timid to look out. Only one old man said that he saw a few of them lifted out of it. Dead body. After she realized the accident, she urgently contacted the "inside line" of the provincial party department and confirmed through the "inside line" that Lao Wei and Xiao Sun had died. The "inside line" also told her that Xiao Sun had four or five bullet holes in his body, while Lao Wei had only one bullet hole in his head. He committed suicide. Before committing suicide, he destroyed the radio station, burned the files, and took the last one. The bullet was left to myself.

Zhang Fengshan sighed and asked, "How did the enemy discover there?"

Xu Youlan said: "Song Tiejun of the Provincial Party Headquarters and the Secret Bureau have joined forces to use a regional power outage to detect the location of Lao Wei’s radio station at No. 17 Zhongshan Road. He was sending a celebration to the Central Plains Bureau at the time. Guard the enemy's telegram."

"Our comrades know this, why didn't they give warnings in time?"

"This Song Tiejun is too cunning. He suspects that there are our people in the provincial party headquarters. This operation all used people from the Secret Bureau. After success, he set a trap and waited for the rabbit, trying to catch everyone who went to No. 17 Zhongshan Road. Because of the lack of manpower, he arranged for people from the operation team of the investigation room to go to the outside to investigate and arrest all suspicious-looking people near No. 17. If I was two hours late, they would most likely be arrested. Our comrades learned about the situation. , I quickly came to the backup contact point, let me quickly notify all the comrades who have been to the No. 17 contact point to transfer, I am afraid that you will find Lao Wei, and rush over overnight."

Zhang Fengshan thought of Dai Changchun and said, "There is another person who often goes there. I must inform him overnight."

When Dai Changchun learned of Wei's sacrifice, he said sadly: "Old Wei sacrificed himself and saved us all."

On September 5, the 3rd and 8th Nakano Brigade approached Wencheng, and the Kuomintang’s offices and troops in the city evacuated to Taiping Town near Qing’an.

On the 11th, the 8th Brigade and 22 Regiment liberated Wencheng County for the first time. The Anxi People’s Self-Defense Army, led by Wu Fei, and the 8th brigade commander and political commissar held a celebration meeting in the Wencheng Middle School Hall. At the meeting, the establishment of the Wencheng County Committee of the Communist Party of China and Wencheng County Democracy were announced. government.

After Zhang Fengshan learned from Dai Changchun's mouth, he regretted not being able to attend this grand occasion. At that time, he could have stayed, but Xu Youlan asked him to move with Liu Chenglong's troops, saying that it was not the last moment.

A few days later, when Liu Chenglong learned that there was only one regiment and Wu Fei's hundreds of people occupying the county seat, he blew his beard and stared with anger. He ordered all the officers and soldiers of the division and the two joint defense brigade to attack the county seat and regain the county seat with all his strength.

At this time, the 22nd regiment received an order from the superior to make a strategic transfer with the large army. Wu Fei led the army and the county party committee and county democratic government agencies to move to the Longwan mountainous area.

Fang Jiqing and Hu Kongzhao launched a city-wide search. Some of the families of people who participated in the Wencheng County Committee and the County Democratic Government of the CCP who had not been transferred out were arrested. Ye Yuexia's mother was one of them. The old man was very strong in prison. Fang Jiqing asked her to write to her daughter, persuading her to surrender, but she refused. Fang Jiqing became angry from embarrassment and ordered someone to be tortured. The old man was already weak and could not afford several tortures. He died in the enemy's cell.

The cunning Fang Jiqing concealed the news of the old man's death, and wrote a letter of persuasion to surrender in the old man's tone, ordering people to sneak into the Longwan Mountains.

Wang Xiaohu heard that an enemy detective had been captured below and interrogated him personally. The person asked to meet with District Chief Ye.

Wang Xiaohu was a little suspicious, and ordered someone to search his body, and as expected, a letter was found from him.

In the letter, Ye Yuexia's mother told her: After Ye Yuexia left, she was arrested and put in jail, but Secretary Fang did not make her embarrassed. It's just that she doesn't understand that Ye Yuexia could have taught and educated people like her father, and lived a peaceful life. Why did she become an enemy of the government and frightened her day and night? She said that Secretary Fang is long and generous. As long as Ye Yuexia is willing to come back, she can forget the past and she can be released from prison immediately. From now on, the two of them will depend on each other. Finally, she said that Secretary Fang would personally go to Wujuling to greet Ye Yuexia at 10 pm on the 28th, and the contact signal was flashlight flashes three times.

After reading it, Wang Xiaohu was very furious and immediately took people to the county democratic government station. It happened that Ye Yuexia came back from the country. Wang Xiaohu ordered her guns to be handed over on the spot. She was shot.

After hearing the news, Dai Changchun quickly notified Zhang Fengshan.

Zhang Fengshan knew that this was Fang Jiqing's countermeasure, and hurriedly gave Wang Xiaohu an order in the name of a "fisherman" to release him immediately, and used a trick. At the same time, he began to investigate the whereabouts of Ye Mu.

A few days later, Wang Xiaohu led a team to ambush Fang Jiqing's team on Wujuling, and Fang Jiqing himself was killed on the spot.

The news spread to the city, the whole city was shaken, and there was a sense of discoloration about "tiger".

Liu Chenglong swears in front of Zhang Fengshan: "Wang Xiaohu, when Lao Tzu catches you, we must cut you a thousand swords to solve Lao Tzu's hatred!"

Zhang Fengshan was happy in his heart. He thought it would be useful for Liu Chenglong to get upset in a hurry, because he was afraid that you would not be able to catch Wang Xiaohu.

That night, when Zhang Fengshan returned home, he found that Xu Yuqing had disappeared, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. Shui Sheng told him: "In the afternoon, an old man came to visit and chatted with the young lady for a while, and then I saw the young lady follow him."

"What does the old man look like?"

"Short stature, looks a lot like the former Secretary Song."

Zhang Fengshan's heart sighed, knowing that Song Tiejun had come to the door, and this was what he worried about the most. Since Song Tiejun moved to Qing'an, the number of calls to the city has become less and less, and the control over him and Xu Yuqing has become looser. This is mainly based on several reasons: one is the victory of the Anti-Japanese War; The Ministry, opposed to claiming that the Wencheng Communist Party organization was wiped out and wiped out; thirdly, Xu Yuqing gave birth to a child and is now pregnant again, making it inconvenient to go out to perform tasks.

Zhang Fengshan thought that those who came would be unkind, and those who were kind would not come, so this time Song Tiejun came to Wencheng for him. It was a misfortune. He decided to meet the old fox, so he went to the county party office and saw Song Tiejun in the basement and his wife. She was tied to the execution pole with gauze stuffed in her mouth.

Seeing Zhang Fengshan rushing in, Song Tiejun said without a smile, "Chief Zhang, you are here at the right time, and I am about to send someone to invite you."

"Why did you catch her?" Zhang Fengshan asked angrily.

"A good question, let's take a step to speak." As he said, he took Zhang Fengshan to the next meeting room and said, "Chief Zhang, you probably don't know yet, your woman is the Communist Party."

Zhang Fengshan pretended to be surprised, and laughed: "Director Song, are you making a big joke?"

Song Tiejun stared at Zhang Fengshan’s eyes and said, “I’m really not kidding. I have always suspected that there was a rape in the county party headquarters. This time Fang Jiqing’s death was taken seriously by the provincial party department and ordered me to detect the rape. Your woman hadn’t used her torture, so she confessed that she was an underground party. I was really blind. I couldn’t see her lurking by my side for so many years.”

From the moment Zhang Fengshan walked into the basement, he felt that something was wrong, and when he saw Xu Yuqing being gagged, he suspected it was a "bitter trick". If it was an interrogation, why would he gag her and prevent her from speaking? He thought that the Hundred Secrets was inevitable, and Song Tiejun also had some missteps. The scene he carefully arranged was immediately seen through by himself, so he said: "No, I have lived with her for so many years, and I have never seen her What’s abnormal, if she is really an underground party, it’s impossible not to connect with her comrades?"

Song Tiejun said: "Even I can't see it. I'm worrying about you. The Communist Party is pervasive. Some of them can lie in our interior for many years without contacting their organization. This is called the'sleeper', only waiting for someone to wake up. ; Or they obtained our important information and suddenly "disappeared" to be known to us. Xu Yuqing is such a person, but she was caught by me before she was awakened.

Zhang Fengshan asked: "What do you plan to do with her?"

Song Tiejun said coldly: "Of course it's Fa-rectification on the spot."

Zhang Fengshan deliberately said: "Dr. Song, it's good for us as a husband and wife. Can I persuade her to correct her evil spirits? Besides, Commander Liu is a relative of her, and I am afraid I don't advocate killing. If Xu Yuqing can understand current affairs and serve the party state, why Isn't it more useful than killing? Not to mention that it looks better with the director."

Song Tiejun sighed and said, "Don't I understand the truth about you? It's useless, I have tried it. This is a warrant from Commander Liu. Let me do it cheaply. Take a look."

Zhang Fengshan took a look, and it turned out to be Liu Chenglong's handwriting, which read: "Once you sit down and refuse to reflect, kill without pardon! Liu Chenglong is the same day." So he said, "Commander Liu has just killed off his relatives, and I have nothing to say."

Song Tiejun said: "Fengshan, I didn't wrongly look at you. Why should a man suffer from being wifeless? Since you don't object, I have no worries. Do you remember that nine-dead game? Now let's play it again. Let's see if Xu Yuqing has a big blessing." After speaking, he patted his palm.

A man came in outside the door with a tray in his hand. On the tray were ten glasses of red wine.

Song Tiejun said, "Fengshan, only one of these ten glasses of red wine is non-toxic. You can choose one for her to drink."

Zhang Fengshan already knew that Song Tiejun was testing himself, so he pretended to choose, and then picked the middle cup, took the cup to the next door, pulled off the gauze in Xu Yuqing's mouth, and said, "Come on, drink a glass of wine to moisturize your throat."

Xu Yuqing didn't say anything, and drank the wine, just as Zhang Fengshan expected, nothing happened.

At this time, Song Tiejun came in, personally untied Xu Yuqing's rope, and said, "You can go home!"
