Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Two

The next morning, the golden-red sun emerged from the eastern mountain, and the dazzling sunlight entered the office of the district government through the window, while gusts of intoxicating southerly wind blew in through the window. In the office, Director Ma of the Public Security Department, Li Zhenji, Secretary of the County Party Committee, and Director Li of the Public Security Bureau are intensely studying the preparations for solving the case.They have conducted serious research on all the circumstances of the entire case.As a result of the research, it has been fully confirmed that the enemy intends to engage in guerrilla activities in the Wuyi Mountains, and the entire organization and activities of the enemy have been clearly reconnaissance.According to the call from Section Chief Zhao, it is known that the enemy is going to riot at twelve o'clock tonight.Therefore, the case must be solved immediately.

Director Ma leaned over the table and flipped through the archives.After flipping through them one by one, he said: "We must go ahead of the enemy, and that is to study the case before twelve o'clock tonight!" "Yes! Let the enemy come to our prison to 'celebrate' their 'victory'!" the county party secretary said humorously. "What should Liu Chuanfen do? Director Li took Liu Chuanfen's file and asked Director Ma." "This person's crimes are not small, but he confessed in the end. More importantly, he has made meritorious service. Therefore, we should follow the party's "Leniency for confession, strictness for resistance, meritorious deeds, and great meritorious service". According to the policy, I think it is possible to propose an exemption from criminal punishment."

"Yes! I agree with this opinion. As long as the counter-revolutionary is determined to change from evil to good, the people will give him a bright way out." The secretary of the county party committee said in agreement. "What should we do with Zhang Jinhua, the 'Mistress of the West Palace', who has been shielding her counter-revolutionary husband for a long time?" Director Li said, holding the file of the "Mistress of the West Palace". "It's also illegal to cover up counter-revolutionaries, and it should be dealt with according to the law." The secretary of the county party committee said solemnly.

"Yes, it should be punished according to law!" Director Ma also agreed. "The rest of the counter-revolutionaries must be resolutely, thoroughly and cleanly arrested in accordance with the law!" The secretary of the county party committee frowned and slammed the table with his hand. "Yes, if these stubborn counter-revolutionaries are not resolutely wiped out, the lives and property of the people will be lost, and socialist construction will be damaged." The pile of archives, he said sternly. After several people finished their research, Director Ma said to the secretary of the county party committee: "Let's study the opinions on solving the case. Please discuss it with the county party committee soon so that we can go through legal procedures."

"Okay! I'll immediately notify the Standing Committee to hold an emergency meeting to discuss." The secretary of the county party committee paused here, then smiled and said, "I see people like Wan Changshou, Aunt Qiu, Liu Dafu, Qiu Xiao'e, and Sun Fuhai. Those who can actively assist the public security organs in solving the case should be commended and rewarded!" "Yes, without the leadership of the party and the active support and assistance of the masses, it would be difficult to complete such a arduous and complicated struggle task with only a few cadres in our public security organs!" Director Ma said sincerely.

After everything was researched, Director Ma and Director Li went to organize their own forces and prepare to solve the case. After dinner, a bright full moon hung high above the distant mountains. Under a big tree on the hillside, sitting a pair of young men and women, this is Liang Guifang and Li Wenbin "talking" under the moon.Liang Guifang has a closer relationship with Li Wenbin these days, and they are really inseparable.In fact, Liang Shouzheng specially arranged for Liang Guifang to monitor Li Wenbin according to the instructions of Section Chief Zhao.Sitting beside Liang Guifang, Li Wenbin tore a branch with both hands and said, "When are we going to get married?"

"Hurry up, my father said that we will get married after the autumn harvest this year." Liang Guifang deliberately pretended to be coy, playing with her two long, black and shiny braids. "Will you be able to join the party then?" "Ah, you haven't forgotten our promise!" Liang Guifang forced a smile on his face.But her heart was burning with hatred.She thought to herself: You cunning spy, you really want to eat swan meat, and you want to marry me! "Wow! I'm going to have a big wedding by then!" Li Wenbin said a pun secretly.He was imagining in his mind how they would appear as the "Deputy Commander of the Anti-Communist National Salvation Army in the Fujian-Guangdong-Jiangxi Border Region" after their successful riot.

After talking for a while, the two stood up and walked along the hillside to Li Wenbin's dormitory.Li Wenbin's mood at this time was complicated.He is delusional about the future, but he is also worried about the reality: he doesn't know whether the riot tonight will be successful. ...After the riots, how long will the guerrilla persist before the "National Army" can come back? ... The two walked into the room silently.At this time, Li Wenbin looked at his watch and it was almost ten o'clock, and it was only two hours before the riot.He wanted to drive Liang Guifang away so that he could make some preparations for the riot.Therefore, he said with a smile on his face: "Guifang, it's getting late, go back to sleep!"

"What are you busy with? They want to talk to you!" Liang Guifang said pretentiously.But she was waiting anxiously in her heart: Why haven't they come yet? ! ... When Li Wenbin saw Liang Guifang's refusal to leave, his mood moved and he thought of "good things" again.He thought: In the past I didn't dare to touch you because I was afraid of exposing my true colors, but today I am not afraid anymore.So he closed the door, grinned his thin mouth, narrowed his pair of eyes, and touched Liang Guifang's body. Kai Li Wenbin said, "What are you doing?"

"Hey! Lover, what's the point of playing?" As he spoke, he hugged Liang Guifang fiercely in his arms and kissed desperately... Liang Guifang was so angry that her heart was about to jump out. She struggled and shouted: "What are you doing? Damn it!" Li Wenbin suddenly had a fit of animal desire, and ignored Gui Fang's struggle and screaming, so he pushed Gui Fang down on the bed with all his strength. He bit Li Wenbin's arm until it was bloody. Li Wenbin stood up with a bang, quickly covered his bleeding arm with his hands, and said to Guifang with his eyes wide open, "Why are you biting people! I'm just kidding you!"

At this moment, there was an urgent knock on the door outside.Li Wenbin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and his face turned pale!He knew that something had happened, maybe someone from the Public Security Bureau came.In this terrified situation, he turned around and fled to the rear window, but just as he climbed up the rear window, Liang Guifang grabbed him.Only then did Li Wenbin realize that Liang Guifang was here to spy on him.So he turned around and hit Liang Guifang, and immediately the two began to fight. Li Wenbin grabbed Liang Guifang's braid, punched her hard, and ran towards the back window. Guifang yelled, but she clung to Li Wenbin tightly.Li Wenbin turned around sharply and kicked Liang Guifang down with his foot. At this moment, he hastily pulled out his pistol and was about to shoot him at Liang Guifang. Director Li had already jumped in from the back window and aimed at the back of Li Wenbin's head with a gun. The handle of the pistol was hit hard, Li Wenbin swayed and fell to the ground, and the pistol fell from his hand to the ground. Because Director Li was afraid that he would startle other enemies by shooting, so he used the butt of his pistol to knock Li Wenbin unconscious.At this time, Liang Shouzheng and the mayor Li Anping also jumped in from the window, and tied up Li Wenbin three by two. Liang Guifang also stood up at this time, gnashing her teeth and glaring at Li Wenbin.Li Wenbin woke up after being tied up. He opened his eyes and watched, tremblingly shouting: "I did not break the law, why arrest me?... I am a member of the Communist Youth League, and I want to go to the Supervisory Committee to sue you!" "You are a spy who infiltrated the Communist Youth League!" Liang Shouzheng shouted in a dignified manner. "What evidence do you have?" Li Wenbin barked like a vicious dog. "Yes!" Liang Guifang said, and went to the wall to remove a brick, and took out from the hole in the wall the secret writing potion, intelligence manuscript, list of Communist Party members, conspiracy plan and other incriminating evidence that Li Wenbin had hidden inside. "Deputy Commander Zhang Zibin! You are under arrest!" Chief Li said to Li Wenbin with his two majestic eyes.And he took out an arrest warrant and showed it to Li Wenbin. Li Wenbin, a cunning spy who had infiltrated into the Communist Youth League, finally had to lower his head and was taken away trembling. It was midnight, a bright moon hung high in the sky, and a few stars emitted faint brilliance.In the forest, it was very quiet, countless pines and ancient trees stood silently, dragging long black shadows under the moonlight.In the stillness of the night, those dying counter-revolutionaries who were determined to be enemies of the people, followed Cai Gang's instructions, came to this cave in the deep mountain to gather one after another.They all came to the solitary grave furtively like ghosts, quickly jumped down from the hole, and went into the cave. At this time, the old man Wan Changshou, Han Lizhong, and Liu Dafu were all hiding in the hollow tree, secretly monitoring the enemy's activities.Around the cave, Director Ma of the Public Security Department and Director Li of the Public Security Bureau led scout Li Ping, a squad of armed policemen and a platoon of militiamen, lying in wait in the bushes and bushes around the solitary grave. In one fell swoop, wipe out the enemies who conspired to riot.After all the enemies got into the cave, there was another enemy who was still squatting cunningly in the miscellaneous woods in front of the solitary grave, apparently a sentinel. At this time, apart from Section Chief Zhao, the cave was already crowded with a group of murderous devils.Among them were Yang Mazi, the dwarf Liao Wancai, the squint-eyed advocate of righteousness, the bearded pseudo-military officer Kang Biao, and some reactionary landlords, rich peasants, bad elements, etc., a total of 14 counter-revolutionaries.They all stood nervously in the cave, waiting for Cai Gang's order. At this time, Cai Gang was wearing a yellow officer's uniform worn by a general school eight years ago, with a belt tied around his waist and a pistol hanging on it. If it wasn't for the lack of a military cap, he really looked like a commander at this moment. official.Seeing that everyone has arrived, he pushed his glasses and whispered to Section Chief Zhao: "Commissioner Wang, everyone has arrived, let's give them weapons now!" When Section Chief Zhao heard this, he said calmly: "Not busy. I think we need to have a mental lecture first, and then fire the guns. Big picture." Cai Gang agreed as soon as he heard it.He looked at the people who came, and then, standing on the stone bench, with his hands behind his back and his chest puffed out, he said in a hoarse voice, "Brothers!" "Brother is valued by the party and the state, and he is the commander of the 'Anti-Communist National Salvation Army in the Fujian-Guangdong-Jiangxi Border Region', and he will lead everyone to stage a riot!" He raised his right hand high and shouted, "Now the people in the mainland are fluctuating, and the disaster is serious. President Jiang... ..." At this point, he snapped and stood at attention, "President Jiang led a powerful national army, and with the help of his ally, the United States, he will be back soon." This guy was bragging again in order to encourage rusticity. "All of us should fight bravely, first kill all the party members and those poor boys in the village, and then divide all the property." "After the riots, I hope that everyone will unite with relatives and friends to expand those who oppose the Communist Party into our anti-communist army. I will personally lead everyone to persist in guerrilla warfare in Wuyi Mountains. Soon the national army will arrive. If we are ministers of meritorious service to the party and the country, then we can become officials and make a fortune, and live a life of glory and wealth." While Cai Gang was lecturing, Section Chief Zhao thought to himself: Evil gangsters, you will not live long! ...But he was still anxious: Why haven't Director Ma and Director Li come here yet? ... At this moment, a tense struggle started outside the cave... Han Lizhong stood in the hollow tree, and after seeing the enemy had entered the cave, he and Liu Dafu sneaked out of the hollow tree.Then, according to the method they had already discussed, they split into two groups and quietly climbed to the lonely grave.The guy squatting in the weeds in front of the lonely grave, with the carbine in his hand, is still looking around.Liu Dafu went around from the west, and slowly crawled towards the front of the sentinel, while Han Lizhong hid behind the tree trunk from the east and touched it secretly.When Liu Dafu was not far from the sentry, the sentry hadn't spotted him yet.At this time, Han Lizhong also touched the back of the guard.At this moment, Liu Dafu suddenly threw a stone, which landed near the sentinel with a bang.The guy was stunned for a moment, holding his gun and watching in horror, but at the moment he was stunned, Han Lizhong had already touched him from behind, and suddenly put a snare rope around his neck , and then strangled hard, dragging the guy aside like a strangled dog, and the guy was strangled unconscious before he had time to think about what was going on. At this time, scout Li Ping was leading the way with a pistol in hand. Together with Director Ma, he led a few armed policemen into the cave. Drilled into the cave.Outside the cave, Han Lizhong, Liu Dafu, Wan Changshou and others led militiamen to seal the two cave entrances tightly. At this time, the enemies in the cave are still in a meeting.Cai Gang stood on the stone stool and spoke smoothly.When his lecture was coming to an end, he said hypocritically: "...that is the end of my words. I hope that all brothers will be loyal to the party and the country and fight bravely!" He said here and looked at Section Chief Zhao, "Now please send me a Commissioner Wang is here to give you a lecture!" Chief Zhao took two steps forward in a calm manner, and said calmly: "Everyone! Today is the day when we riot and we are about to destroy our enemies. Under the leadership of the commander, fight bravely for the party and country!" As soon as Section Chief Zhao said this, Director Ma and Director Li came in from the two holes at the same time, shouting loudly: "Don't move! Hands up!" These spies were so frightened by this sudden action that they were about to become a mess in an instant.But if they want to escape, they have nowhere to go. If they want to struggle to the death, they don't have guns in their hands. They have no choice but to raise their hands tremblingly. At this moment, Cai Gang took out his pistol to resist. When he just raised the pistol and was about to shoot Director Ma, Section Chief Zhao who was standing next to him grabbed his wrist and punched him casually. He knocked down his pistol to the ground, pointed it at Cai Gang, and shouted sternly, "Don't move!" When Cai Gang saw that it was Section Chief Zhao, he said "Ah": "You?!..." "I am Commissioner Wang sent by your superiors!" Chief Zhao said with a sneer in a sarcastic tone. At this time, Director Ma ordered the police to tie up all the spies.After all the enemies were tied up, scout Li Ping walked up to Yang Mazi and said in a sarcastic tone, "Doctor Yang, please see me again!" Yang Mazi looked up and was startled: Isn't this the deaf, dumb and crazy Qiu Daye? !Only then did he realize that he had been fooled.So he lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Ping's face.But at this moment, the bearded Kang Biao standing behind Yang Mazi gave Yang Mazi a hard knee, gritted his teeth and said, "You idiot!" Although he didn't finish the words, he was thinking : "I said she is a public security officer and you say no, how about it? If I followed my opinion, I would have strangled her to death, but now..." "Take them away!" Director Ma ordered. At this time, these frenzied spies were escorted out of the cave one by one... When these vicious counter-revolutionaries were escorted into the village, the villagers were all alarmed, they lit torches one after another, and rushed to see .The counter-revolutionaries were turned pale by the flames of the torches, looking ugly like devils, and Cai Gang's short-sighted glasses fell off somewhere.Now he is narrowing his short-sighted eyes, lowering his head, taking one step higher and one step lower, trembling all over, being escorted by the police.Yang Mazi also had his hands tied behind his back. Seeing the crowd, he hurriedly lowered his head to his chest, only showing his bald and shiny skull, and walked over tremblingly... When these counter-revolutionaries walked up to several women, an old man held a wooden stick in his hand, raised his hand to beat Cai Gang, and cursed, "You're cut into pieces!" It turned out to be Aunt Qiu.When she saw Cai Gang, she gritted her teeth with anger, and all the hatred from more than 20 years ago welled up in her heart.If Li Ping hadn't come to dissuade him, she would have beaten Cai Gang to death.At this time, the masses on both sides of the road also shouted loudly: "Damn counter-revolutionaries!" "Demand the government to shoot Cai Gang!..." These evil counter-revolutionaries are really like rats crossing the street. Amidst the curses of the masses, they were escorted to the county by the police and militia...
