Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two

The expressions of the pilots, as well as the expressions of the female students, especially the expressions of He Xiaoyu and Xie Mulan at this time, were all caught by Fang Mengao at a glance.He broke the solemnity just now, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned to the students and said loudly: "If the students are willing, I would like to make a few requests to you." The eyes of the students were all on the male student in charge of the student union. The male classmate replied loudly: "Leader Fang, please tell me, we are willing." Fang Mengao smiled and said, "I haven't mentioned it yet, so you are willing?"

This time it's all the students: "We do!" Fang Mengao: "Then I will mention it. Male students, please stay and help us sort out the account receipts for today's food distribution. Female students help our team members make up lessons and explain Mr. Liang's report to them more clearly Some. Would you like to?" "Yes!" This voice was shouted by many people in the pilot team. Fang Mengao narrowed his eyes and glanced over, and those people quickly stopped talking. "We are willing!" This is the voice of the students in unison! "Changwu." Fang Mengao looked at Chen Changwu who was the first in the queue, didn't call him by his last name, and waved his hand lightly, which meant he was going to whisper.

Chen Changwu immediately walked over from the queue: "Captain." Fang Mengao whispered in his ear: "Take care of these monkey cubs, I'm going out for a while. After I get in the car, I will turn on the camp lights and let them move around." A jeep goes. The queue didn't disband, and the students were still standing there neatly, watching Fang Mengao striding towards the gate of the camp alone, not knowing what he was going to do. In this way, amidst many silent eyes, Fang Mengao got into the jeep and said to the lieutenant officer who saluted him, "Open the door."

The lieutenant officer was stunned: "It's getting dark, sir, you can't go out alone..." "Open the door!" Fang Mengao's face sank, the car had already started and was driving towards the iron gate. "Open the door, open the door quickly!" The lieutenant officer panicked, and the two soldiers quickly opened the iron door. Fang Mengao's jeep drove out with a roar. Mr. Liang suddenly left just now, and now Captain Fang suddenly left again.The pilots and the students seemed to come to their senses at this moment, and they all looked at the jeep driving further and further away.

He Xiaoyu and Xie Mulan turned their eyes to each other at this moment. He Xiaoyu stretched out his hand, Xie Mulan stretched out his hand, and the two of them quietly held hands together - what came to their minds was the same grip that Liang Jinglun and Fang Mengao held during the day! "Turn on the camp lights!" Chen Changwu shouted in the direction of the guard, startling the hands held together by He Xiaoyu and Xie Mulan. Immediately afterwards, the camp lights were turned on. They were two searchlights mounted on two 20-meter-high concrete poles on the east and west walls of the barracks.The whole camp was lit up like day again.

Chen Changwu then turned to the pilots and said loudly: "The captain has an order, I will direct and carry out the activities!" With a creak, Fang Mengao's jeep stopped at the entrance of Dongzhong Hutong. The street lights were dim, and he hadn't turned on the lights while driving all the way just now. At this time, Fang Mengao turned on the headlights of the jeep instead. The two bright lampposts fully illuminated the policemen standing in the light and the plainclothes standing in the dark! The one who brought the police here to watch tonight was actually Deputy Director Shan, which shows how much Xu Tieying attaches importance to Cui Zhongshi.Although the deputy chief Shan didn't know where the car came from, he had a lot of experience and knew it had a lot to do with it.Being illuminated by the headlights, he still did not forget to walk over with a smile: "Excuse me..."

Fang Mengao was still sitting in the driver's seat, and he didn't know this person, but he could tell from his police badge that he was at the same level as his younger brother. When this person came to the side of the car and leaned his head over, he immediately asked, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong?" The deputy chief Shan got used to the light just now, he knew Fang Mengao, he was startled for a while, and then he called out warmly: "Captain Fang!" Fang Mengao also smiled back: "I'm sorry, we don't seem to have met." Deputy Chief Na Shan: "My surname is Shan. I work in the same department as Captain Fang's younger brother. He is the deputy chief of the Peking Police Department. When I picked up Director Xu at the airport, I met Captain Fang."

"Oh." Fang Mengao responded, and turned his eyes to those people illuminated by the headlights, returning to the first topic: "Deputy Director Shan, what happened here?" Deputy Director Shan: "No. Did Captain Fang discover anything?" Fang Mengao: "It's okay to send so many people here? Or is Deputy Director Shan leading the team himself?" That deputy director Shan knew about this master for a long time, and today was the first time we met him. Seeing him like this, he knew that he was not a good person.Knowing the identity of the other party and his own identity, he naturally knows how to deal with it: "In the period of fighting chaos and saving the country, routine, routine."

Fang Mengao: "Exactly. I want to find someone related to the official business of the investigation team of the Ministry of National Defense. Since Deputy Director Shan is here, please help me find this person." Deputy Director Shan already understood, but he had to ask falsely, "May I ask who Captain Fang is looking for?" Fang Mengao: "Deputy Director Cui of the Beiping Branch Treasury of the Central Bank." Deputy Director Shan is really a rascal: "Deputy Director Cui? Does he live here? I'll ask." Fang Mengao: "No need to ask. No. 2 Dongzhong Hutong, walk in from the Hutong, the second door on the left. Please find this person immediately, I will wait here."

The living room on the first floor of Fangdi Mansion. Fang Buting, who always liked Chinese clothes, changed into a standard suit tonight, and Cheng Xiaoyun made up his head and face to make him look radiant. Not only did he not show a trace of illness, but he also looked like a scholar studying in the United States. Zeng Keda, who was wearing military uniform, shook hands with Fang Buting at this time, and the two came to a conclusion. Fang Buting's attire omitted all Chinese etiquette, and stretched out his hand: "Please sit down." Zeng Da was still holding the box of tea sets in his other hand. According to etiquette, the hostess or a decent person accompanying the guests should come to receive the presents at this time, but his eyes were on the spot, and there were only the host and guest in the huge living room. two people.

Looking at Fang Buting who stretched out his hand and sat down first, Zeng Keda stood there not knowing what to do with himself, but after all he came prepared, he still stood respectfully and said with a smile: "There is a small gift, please entrust me The person who gave the gift is very affectionate, so I would like to ask President Fang to take a look first." As he spoke, he went straight to the table on the other side with the box of tea sets, put the gift box on the table, and waited respectfully. Fang Buting had to stand up, but he still didn't come over: "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell General Zeng that Fang was engaged in financial work in Beiping for the government, and he never dared to accept gifts from others." Zeng Keda: "President Fang is honest and prudent, we know. What happened today has nothing to do with President Fang's work ethics. You must accept it." "Must accept?" Fang Buting had a smile on his face, and his tone showed that he would never accept it. Zeng Keda: "At least, you have to come and have a look first. If you don't want to accept that I take it back and return it." Zeng Keda also kept smiling on his face, but his eyes looking at Fang Buting were shining brightly. Fang Buting thought for a while: "Okay, let me take a look." He walked over slowly. Zeng Da opened the gift box. Fang Buting's eyes immediately flashed a light, he knew the goods, and blurted out: "Mr. Fan Dasheng's craftsmanship?" Zeng Da looked at Fang Buting sincerely with admiring eyes: "President Fang is really discerning. What is the current market value of this pot?" Fang Buting replied: "Five hundred pounds. In today's French currency, a ten-wheel truck can't fit it. General Zeng, please don't tell me the name of the gift giver. Fang will never accept this gift." "Then I won't talk about it." Zeng Keda took out the pot with both hands, "I just ask President Fang to appreciate it." He held the pot over. Fang Buting still didn't answer, but it was the side with writing in front of him, so he couldn't help being surprised. ——Depending on experience and occupation, the inscription on the pot and the inscription of the pot maker are irrelevant. Of course, the big words "Mr. To accept or not to accept? Fortunately, the phone in the living room rang, and Fang Buting was able to turn around: "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone first." Zeng Keda still held the pot in his hand, but he could already see that Fang Buting's back walking towards the phone was no longer as reserved as before. Fang Buting picked up the phone, slightly startled: "Yes, here." Turning his face to look at Zeng Da, "General Zeng, your phone number." The phone call came here.Zeng Da also showed a little surprise, carefully put the pot on the table, and made an apologetic expression to Fang Buting when he walked over to answer the microphone. After listening to a few words, Zeng Keda's face immediately turned serious, feeling Fang Buting behind him consciously or unconsciously, and replied in a low voice and sternly: "Captain Fang is the captain of the Economic Inspection Brigade of the Ministry of National Defense. Who gave you the right to say He can't see Deputy Director Cui!...It's normal to pick him up alone, no matter whether it's you or the Peking Police Department, no one is allowed to interfere!" Zeng Da had lightly pressed the button with his right hand, but he was still holding the microphone in his left hand. When he turned around and saw Fang Buting, he was already facing the door, standing there, and asked, "President Fang, can I come here again?" Make a call?" Fang Buting: "Of course. General Zeng said it's business, so I can wait outside the door." After speaking, he wanted to go out. "President Fang." Zeng Dada stopped him immediately, "It's already overwhelming, and President Fang can listen to what I say." Fang Buting stopped at the door again: "General Zeng wants me to listen?" It was only then that Zeng Da felt that it was uncomfortable to be able to see the shadow of his eldest son from the father.I had to answer: "I'm sorry." Then I dialed the phone. Fang Buting's back, the phone connected behind him. Zeng Keda: "Battle Commander Zheng? Immediately lead a squad to find Captain Fang, and head northwest from Dongzhong Hutong. Remember, keep a distance, just to protect the safety of Captain Fang and Deputy Director Cui, and no interference is allowed. their conversation." Gently put down the microphone, Zeng Da turned around this time, Fang Buting had also turned around, and looked straight into his eyes. "I want to know what four lines, two bureaus, one warehouse, and one meeting are." Fang Mengao drove at the highest speed on the road under martial law. Cui Zhongshi was sitting in the passenger seat, his eyes were also looking forward, and the two had completely lost the feeling they had when they met before: "The Central Bank, Bank of China, Bank of Communications, and Farmers Bank of China are called the Four Banks. The Central Trust Bureau and the The postal savings and remittance bureau is called the two bureaus. One is the central cooperative treasury. The other is the National Economic Commission." Fang Mengao: "How many units are there?" Cui Zhongshi: "One thousand one hundred and seventy units." Fang Mengao: "How many people control these 1,170 units?" Cui Zhongshi: "There are 1,170 directors and supervisors." Fang Mengao: "Can you name the one hundred and seventy people?" Cui Zhongshi looked at him slowly: "They need the roster of 1,170 people?" "Which one of them?" Fang Mengao still didn't look at him, "I don't have any of them behind me anymore. If you mean the Reserve Cadre Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, I won't ask." Cui Zhongshi: "Comrade Meng Ao..." Fang Mengao: "I can't tell the names of the one thousand one hundred and seventy people, so the names of the twenty people should be easy to remember?" Cui Zhongshi was silent for a while: "Find a place to stop and let's talk slowly." Fang Mengao: "Where is it, just tell me." Cui Zhongshi: "Let's go to Deshengmen." Fang Mengao: "Why did you go there?" Cui Zhongshi looked ahead: "That's where Li Zicheng led the peasant uprising army and entered Beijing from there." Fang Mengao let go of the gas pedal, and the car slowed down. In an instant, Fang Mengao stepped on the accelerator again: "Then go to Deshengmen." It is rare that there is such a dense purple bamboo forest in the courtyard of Beiping, and it is even more rare that there are street lamps on both sides of the stone path passing through the bamboo forest, like the moon, illuminating the bamboos whirling at night. Fang Buting slowed down, and accompanied Zeng Keda into the bamboo forest with a bow of flat shoulders. Zeng Dada intentionally followed Fang Buting one shoulder behind to show respect.Suddenly, he stopped in front of a particularly lush bamboo illuminated by a street lamp, and looked up at the bamboos that had grown to a height of six to eight meters: "President Fang, this piece of bamboo was there before you moved in." , or was it planted later?" Fang Buting also stopped: "It was planted after we moved here." Zeng Keda: "It's rare. Is there a bamboo forest growing in President Fang's hometown in Wuxi?" Fang Buting looked at him: "That's right, the youngest left home, but the eldest is hard to come back. It's been more than thirty years." Zeng Keda: "Ashamed, I have only been away from my hometown for three years. As President Fang's second son said today at Ambassador Gu's mansion, I was still an adjutant in the youth army in my hometown in southern Jiangxi three years ago." Fang Buting had no choice but to answer honestly: "I have heard about it. Children are not sensible. It is rare that General Zeng is not as knowledgeable as him." Zeng Da said with sincerity on his face: "President Fang is serious. In front of you, we are all just juniors. My hometown is full of bamboo in front of, behind, and in the mountains. In the Qing and Ming dynasties, me and President Fang and two young masters can be regarded as fellow villagers." Fang Buting stopped answering again, and waited to hear what he had to say. Zeng Keda: "Jiangsu and Jiangxi belonged to the same two rivers in the Qing Dynasty, and belonged to Nanzhili in the Ming Dynasty, and they were all under the administration of one governor." Fang Buting: "Then add Anhui. It may not be a good thing for three provinces to be managed by one person." Zeng Da was stunned for a moment, and had to look at Fang Buting like a child. He was pondering over the person in front of him who was highly valued by both Song and Confucius, and at the same time, he had a deeper understanding of why Comrade Jianfeng used Fang Mengao to deal with his father's deep feelings-this person was really too difficult to deal with.No matter how difficult it is to deal with, it must be dealt with.Just now it was "moving with the truth", now it is "knowing the benefits": "I completely agree with President Fang's opinion. If each province or several provinces let one person have the final say, it will become a division of borders The result is the chaos of the country and the suffering of the people. China can only be one China, and that is the Republic of China. The Republic of China can only have one leader, and that is President Chiang. I think no matter whether it is President Fang or Fang Brigade Captain Fang, Deputy Director Fang, our views should be the same." "Are we not in agreement?" Fang Buting was always worried about the opponent's cards, and it seemed that he was going to show them today. Zeng Keda: "But some people really want our views to be inconsistent." Fang Buting looked at him closely and asked him. "The CCP!" Zeng Keda looked up at the street lamp, "Mao Zedong publicly threatened in Yan'an that there would be no two suns, and he wanted to show Chairman Jiang two suns!" Now that the opponent has shown his hole card, the only thing Fang Buting can hold on to is to smile lightly: "General Zeng means that someone on our side recognizes Mao Zedong as the sun. Or does Meng Ao and Meng Wei recognize Mao Zedong as the sun?" Zeng Da couldn't laugh, so the smile became insincere: "As I said just now, there is only one sun in the sky. Mao Zedong is not the sun, and he can't think of a second sun. But besides the sun, there is also a moon in the sky. This moon is in the sky. There is only one, and when it shines on the ground, it will be everywhere. President Fang, I hope you can understand my words." Fang Buting smiled: "I don't quite understand. Is General Zeng telling me Zhu Xi's truth of 'the moon seals ten thousand rivers'?" Zeng Keda: "President Fang is wise." Fang Buting: "Then I can only tell General Zeng that there are no rivers or lakes here, and there will be no Moon in Sichuan." Zeng Keda: "The CCP's moon, as long as you give it a basin of water, another moon can be printed." Fang Buting: "Do I have that basin of water here?" "Yes." Zeng Da finally said the name word by word, "Cui Zhongshi!" About 50 meters ahead is Deshengmen. There are troops and searchlights on the tower, which illuminate the night sky like day. "Who? Stop!" There were also troops under the city gate, and the officer on duty shouted an order, and walked over with two soldiers wearing steel helmets. Fang Mengao's car didn't slow down, and it still drove about 20 meters forward before suddenly stopping. The following jeep kept a certain distance from Fang Mengao's car. After realizing it and then braking, it still slid a long way forward and stopped only five meters away from Fang Mengao's car. "Get out of the car." Fang Mengao opened the door and got out of the car. Cui Zhongshi also opened the door over there and got out of the car. "Which area? What number?" The officer on duty guarding the city gate had already approached Fang Mengao and Cui Zhongshi. Battalion Commander Zheng and a group of youth soldiers in the middle jeep also jumped out of the car. Fang Mengao walked towards the battalion commander Zheng: "Are you here to protect me?" "Yes." Battalion Commander Zheng could only reply awkwardly. Fang Mengao: "Then go and tell them the number." "Yes." Then Battalion Commander Zheng had no choice but to greet the officer on duty. Fang Mengao said to Cui Zhongshi, "How long will it take to go to Shichahai?" Cui Zhongshi: "The northernmost Houhai can be reached in ten minutes." Fang Mengao: "There is no Li Zicheng here, only Li Zongren and Fu Zuoyi. Go to the nearest Houhai." Cui Zhongshi couldn't say anything, and led him to a small alley on the side of the street. "Don't you know the number 0001?" The battalion commander Zheng behind them scolded the guard officer, "Does the Ministry of National Defense know?" The squad leader of the Youth Army has already run behind Battalion Commander Zheng: "Report to the battalion commander, Captain Fang has gone to that small alley." Then Battalion Commander Zheng turned around abruptly, he saw Fang Mengao and Cui Zhongshi disappearing at the entrance of the alley, and immediately said: "Follow up, keep safe!" On the seventh day of the lunar calendar, the first quarter moon will set in about an hour.At this time, it shone obliquely on the water surface of Houhai, with a half moon in the sky and a half moon in the water. The two stood at the back seaside with a body distance between them. Fang Mengao looked at the half moon in the sky, and Cui Zhongshi looked at the half moon in the water. "The clouds disperse, and the bright moon shines on people." Fang Mengao seemed to be speaking to Cui Zhongshi or to himself alone. Cui Zhongshi looked at him slowly. Fang Mengao was still looking at the moon: "You come to see me at Hangzhou Airport for the first time, and sing this song to me, as if you just learned it." Cui Zhongshi: "No. I knew how to sing long before I met you, but I never sang well." Fang Mengao also looked at him and shook his head: "I can still tell whether the singing is good or not and whether I just learned it." Cui Zhongshi: "Just say that I'm still lying to you." "Why did you lie to me?" Fang Mengao's question seemed to be defending Cui Zhongshi, "There is no need for this." Cui Zhongshi: "If you really want to lie to you, it is necessary." "Why is it necessary?" Fang Mengao flashed the kind of eyes that he had never used on Cui Zhongshi. Cui Zhongshi: "Because I am not an underground party of the CCP." Fang Mengao was stunned for a moment, the two points of light on Cui Zhongshi also slowly spread, and his eyes were full of confusion. Cui Zhongshi then said softly: "Therefore, you are not a member of the CCP's underground party." "It's been almost three years, and what you told me were all lies?" Fang Mengao's eyes flashed again. Cui Zhongshi: "Not all of them." Fang Mengao: "Which ones are and which ones are not?" Cui Zhongshi: "I don't know either." Fang Mengao stared at him closely, remained silent for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly said, "Take off your clothes." Cui Zhongshi: "What?" Fang Mengao: "You once said that you can't swim. Take off your clothes and jump into the water." Cui Zhongshi looked at the comrade in front of him who was once closer than a brother, and the desolation in his heart would soon turn into tears from his eyes.But he couldn't, took a long breath, adjusted his breathing, and put on a smile: "If I really don't know how to swim, I won't be able to get up after jumping down." "You won't fail to come up." Fang Mengao looked at him with such indifference. Cui Zhongshi looked at the moonlit water in silence, and turned his head to look at Fang Mengao resolutely: "No matter how many lies I have told before, I will tell you a few truths now. You have seen it in my house, I have a son named Boqin and a daughter named Pingyang. In the name of Boqin and Pingyang, I swear to you that what I say below is the truth." Fang Mengao's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes immediately softened a lot. Cui Zhongshi: "I am not an underground party of the Chinese Communist Party, and you are not an underground party of the Chinese Communist Party. It doesn't matter. But at that time you were willing to join the Chinese Communist Party, and you didn't come for me, Cui Zhongshi. You didn't follow me because you believed in me." The Communist Party, but you have chosen the Communist Party in your heart because you want to save China and are willing to do everything for your compatriots. Don’t trust me, but trust yourself.” Fang Mengao's gaze became confused again, and he waited for Cui Zhongshi to finish speaking. Cui Zhongshi was already unbuttoning the thin silk gown. Fang Mengao looked at him closely, and his heart was moved again - Cui Zhongshi, who had taken off his long gown, was wearing only a white fake collar around his neck! "Poverty!" This thought immediately struck Fang Meng Ao's mind. Cui Zhongshi took off the fake collar and myopia glasses, put them on the long gown on the ground, and jumped into the water clumsily! There was a sound of "plop" and the battalion commander Zheng and the group of youth army guards who were standing a hundred meters away were so startled that they ran towards this side immediately. "Quick!" Battalion Commander Zheng shouted loudly while running. In less than twenty seconds, these dozen or so people had already run to Fang Mengao's side, and they were relieved to see him still standing safely on the shore. "What happened? Sir." Battalion Commander Zheng asked Fang Mengao panting. "Back to the original place." Fang Mengao only focused on the water surface. Then Battalion Commander Zheng: "Sir..." "Back off!" Fang Mengao shouted. "Retreat to the same place!" The battalion commander Zheng had no choice but to issue an order to the group of guards. A group of more than ten people walked towards the same place while looking at this place. The water is so calm.Fang Mengao couldn't help but glanced at the Omega watch on his left wrist—thirty seconds had passed! Fang Mengao threw away the military cap on his head, and then took off the short-sleeved military uniform, his eyes quickly searched the water. Finally, he discovered that there were bubbles emerging seven or eight meters away from the shore. With an arrow leap, Fang Mengao bounced up suddenly, like a javelin, jumped into the water four or five meters away from the shore. The battalion commander Zheng on the shore had been paying attention to this side, and then shouted again: "Quick! Get ready to go into the water!" More than a dozen people came here again. Suddenly a human head appeared on the water, followed by shoulders. Commander Zheng was in a hurry: "Take off your clothes if you know how to use water! Get into the water immediately to save people!" Several guards hurriedly undressed. Two of the guards stopped halfway, staring at the water. The other guards also stopped undressing and looked at the water. The Battalion Commander Zheng wanted to scold him, but he stopped talking when he looked towards the water. It could be vaguely seen that Captain Fang was holding Deputy Director Cui from his armpit with one hand, paddling with the other hand, and it was only about three meters away from the shore. Battalion Commander Zheng immediately stretched out his hand on the shore. A few more guards also stretched out their hands. "Get back to where you are!" Captain Fang, who was holding the man in the water, swam out loudly, still out of breath. "Okay, okay." Battalion Commander Zheng couldn't even say "yes", he retracted his hands and answered, and had no choice but to signal the guards to retreat slowly to the spot. Fang Mengao had already reached the shore, and with one move of both hands, he first lifted Cui Zhongshi, who did not know if he was dead, onto the shore, and let him lie down, then he climbed onto the rocks on the shore and jumped onto the shore. Immediately afterwards, Fang Mengao straddled Cui Zhongshi who was lying flat, and squeezed his hands rhythmically on his abdomen. A mouthful of clear water spit out from Cui Zhongshi's mouth, and then another mouthful of clear water spit out from his mouth. Fang Mengao stepped to the side of Cui Zhongshi's head, lifted his upper body from his back with one hand, and looked closely at his face. Fang Mengao's eyes slowly brightened. Cui Zhongshi's eyes slowly opened.
