Chapter 90 Chapter 90 The Economic Crisis

Zhang Yueyin pondered, and replied: "Comrade Xie Peidong hopes that Comrade Fang Mengao will go abroad." Liu Yun: "Then do you think the central government agrees with Comrade Xie Peidong's opinion, or disagrees with Comrade Xie Peidong's opinion?" Zhang Yueyin's awareness emerged at a critical moment: "I think the central government will agree with Comrade Xie Peidong's opinion." Liu Yun: "Why?" Zhang Yueyin: "Vice Chairman Zhou trusts Comrade Xie Peidong, and the Central Committee trusts Comrade Xie Peidong. Comrade Xie Peidong must have his reasons for doing this."

Liu Yun smiled: "It's good to be reasonable. Now I will officially convey the instructions of the central government and announce a discipline, which is limited to the three of you." All three replied simultaneously: "Yes." Liu Yun: "What is 'peacock flying southeast'? Who is this 'peacock'? Where does it fly to the east? Where does it fly to the south?" The three looked at him with bated breath. Liu Yun: "'Peacock' is Fu Zuoyi, and it is Fu Zuoyi's army of more than half a million in North China. This army can fly east to the northeast, and Wei Lihuang's troops can attack our Northeast Field Army; it can fly south to the Central Plains, Shandong and even Xuzhou joined forces with the KMT Central Army to fight against my Central Plains Field Army and East China Field Army. However, this 'peacock' was not raised by Chiang Kai-shek's family, but flew from Shanxi. If you want him to fly east or south, you have to be careful To keep him. To put it bluntly, Fu Zuoyi’s logistics and military needs must be fully satisfied, and Fu Zuoyi’s requirements must be guaranteed even if he sells iron. Where does the logistics come from, and where does the military supply come from? The Kuomintang can only rely on the assistance of the United States. That’s why they let Comrades Fang Mengao and Liang Jinglun came to carry out this action. He Qicang was able to ask for aid from Stuart, Fang Buting was able to ask the central bank to allocate more funds to Peiping, and the Jiang family's abacus was hit to the last pearl... Comrade Zhang Yueyin said just now, Xie Peidong Comrade Fang Mengao has his own reasons for arguing that Comrade Fang Mengao go abroad. Do you understand Comrade Xie Peidong's reasoning now?"

Zhang Yueyin: "Prevent Fu Zuoyi's troops from obtaining logistics and military supplies, and prevent the KMT's 'Peacock Flying Southeast' plan." "Is this the reason?" Liu Yun looked at Qi Mutang, "Comrade Mutang, you just transferred from Xibaipo to talk about your understanding of the spirit of the Central Committee's instructions." "Okay." Qi Mutang stood up. Liu Yun: "Sit down, sit down and talk." "Yes." Qi Mutang sat down again, "The central government's spirit is to hope that the Kuomintang will fully guarantee Fu Zuoyi's logistics and military supplies."

Liu Yun: "Convey the exact words of the chairman." Qi Mutang: "The original words of the chairman are, 'Why do birds fly? They fly only when they are hungry, and they want to find something to eat. Is there any way to stop the bird from flying? It's very simple. It's too lazy to fly when it's full; It’s good to feed it, and it can’t fly even if it wants to fly’.” Liu Yun: "Don't go around in circles, let's pass on the instructions of Vice Chairman Zhou. There are four items in total: the first item is to agree with the Fang family's opinion and allow Comrade Fang Mengao to go abroad. The second item is to continue to ask Comrade Fang Mengao to go abroad if Chiang Ching-kuo disagrees. We will not intervene or prevent Liang Jinglun from carrying out "The Peacock Flying Southeast". Article 3: Inform Comrade Xie Peidong to stop all party activities from today and ensure safety. Article 4: Agree to the marriage of Comrade He Xiaoyu and Comrade Fang Mengao. Afterwards, Comrade He Xiaoyu conveyed the party's instructions to Comrade Fang Mengao. Comrade Fan Yinong."

"arrive." Liu Yun: "A new situation has changed today. Does it confirm Vice Chairman Zhou's instruction?" "yes……" Liu Yun looked at him: "Report the new situation, be concise." Fan Yinong, Director Fan: "Yes. Vice President He called Leighton Stuart tonight. Leighton Stuart came forward to find Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek found Fu Zuoyi. Fu Zuoyi shouldered the burden and came forward to tell lies, saying that he was the one who took off in the Fang team today. The order was not an unauthorized take-off, and did not violate the Kuomintang’s "Regulations on Army, Navy and Air Force Service." Comrade Fang Mengao’s confinement will be lifted at dawn, and he will continue to serve as the flying mission of the Kuomintang Special Flying Brigade in Peiping..."

This old Comrade Fan is very strict, and he is really long-winded. Liu Yun glanced at him with a smile: "Be more concise." "Yes." Comrade Fan continued, "The central government's analysis is very wise. The 'peacock' in 'The Peacock Flies to the Southeast' refers to Fu Zuoyi, neither Comrade Fang Mengao nor Liang Jinglun. Vice President He asked Leighton Stuart to release Comrade Fang Mengao The Nanjing Nationalist Government took the opportunity to offer another quid pro quo. Vice President He didn't agree at first, but later, he wanted to protect Fang Meng Ao and his student Liang Jinglun..."

"Let me tell." Liu Yun couldn't bear Comrade Fan's nagging anymore, "The KMT wants to organize a delegation headed by Wang Yunwu to go to the United States to seek aid, and invited He Qicang to lobby in the United States first, and He Qicang agreed. At the same time, he asked Liang Jinglun to be his assistant, and Nanjing also agreed. "Flying birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden." Speaking of this, Liu Yun looked at Lao Fan: "Is that so?" Comrade Lao Fan is always smiling: "Comrade Liu Yun summed it up concisely." Liu Yun: "From now on, Comrade He Xiaoyu will live alone in Yannanyuan, and you will be responsible for her safety through single-line contact, convey the four instructions of the central government to her, and ask her to convey them to Comrade Fang Mengao. It is emphasized that the Kuomintang wants him to transport Transport whatever you want, and feed the 'Peacock' as much as possible."

Old Fan: "Yes." Liu Yun turned to look at Zhang Yueyin, who immediately stood up. Liu Yun: "Comrade Xie Peidong is still in charge of contacting you." Zhang Yueyin: "Yes." Liu Yun took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: "This is a gift from Vice Chairman Zhou to Mr. Xie. The third one in the middle row is the letter written by Vice Chairman Zhou to Mr. Xie. Ask Xiao Li to pass it on to Mr. Xie." Cigarettes were handed to Zhang Yueyin. Zhang Yueyin took the pack of cigarettes with both hands, and looked at Liu Yun: "May I also write a note and ask Comrade Xiao Li to deliver it together, and apologize to Mr. Xie."

Liu Yun waved his hand: "Protecting Mr. Xie well is the best apology." "yes!" It is a long way to go to the United States. Let alone whether the American aid can be obtained, it is difficult to say whether this old bone can return to Yannanyuan where he has lived for many years. He Qicang sat in front of the phone in a daze, slowly looking at his daughter beside the bed. The large leather suitcase bought when studying in the United States was polished to shine with the years, and it was laid out on the bed. He Xiaoyu put the father's clothes that were folded on the bed into the suitcase one by one, and a drop of tear fell on his father's white old shirt.

He Xiaoyu immediately turned his head away, and quietly wiped away his tears with a handkerchief. He Qicang was already standing behind his daughter: "I'll be back in a month, at most two months..." "Yes." He Xiaoyu tidied up his condition and continued to dress his father. "It's not enough for so many officials from the Nationalist Government to ask for aid, so I'll drag you in. Do you have this obligation?" He Qicang: "That depends on what kind of obligation it is... I helped write the report demonstrating the reform of the currency system, which can be regarded as contributing to the flames. Now that Nanjing is using this matter to make a deal with your Uncle Situ, it is actually a condition for them to agree not to pursue Meng Ao... ...Anyway, I have long wanted to go back to the United States to see old friends and old classmates, so let’s treat it as a trip.”

He Xiaoyu looked at his father: "Dad, tell me the truth, did you ask Liang Jinglun to go with you just because you want to bring an assistant?" He Qicang looked deeply at his daughter: "Why do you ask such a question?" He Xiaoyu: "I think you teachers and students are hiding something from others... Are you protecting him?" He Qicang looked into his daughter's eyes: "I protected Meng Ao, if Jinglun also needs protection, do you think Dad should protect him?" He Xiaoyu had no choice but to lower his head and went to arrange clothes again: "I didn't say I shouldn't." He Qicang: "You are going to pick up Meng Ao at dawn, and we will also take the train to Nanjing later. The place is almost cleaned up, go down and help him after all, he is a person who has never been loved by anyone." He Xiaoyu put the last piece of clothing into the suitcase: "OK." He Xiaoyu walked into Liang Jinglun's room and helped him pack his clothes. "It's all packed..." Liang Jinglun called He Xiaoyu to stop. He Xiaoyu stood in front of the table, stopped his hands, did not open the suitcase, and looked at Liang Jinglun: "Is there anything that is inconvenient for me to see?" Liang Jinglun was stopped by the question, and smiled wryly: "Then you can check it again for me." He Xiaoyu: "I don't want to read other people's privacy." Liang Jinglun: "If you have privacy, you won't put it in a suitcase...you can help me see it." He Xiaoyu opened the lid of the box, and his gaze was fixed there immediately! ——The top of the clothes is a picture frame, in the middle of the photo is my father, on the left is myself, and on the right is Liang Jinglun! He Xiaoyu's throat immediately became sore, and he swallowed it back quietly, with tears still in his eyes, he calmed down for a while, and asked softly, "Going to America and not coming back?" Liang Jinglun: "Of course I will come back, sir." "What if my dad doesn't come back?" Liang Jinglun: "You know, Mr. needs someone to take care of you..." "What about New China?" He Xiaoyu looked straight into his eyes, "You won't forget what you told me in the foreign language bookstore?" Liang Jinglun was silent for a while: "I told you a lot at the foreign language bookstore..." He Xiaoyu: "The passage describing New China. Now I can still recall the way you recited that passage. Are you the same person as you are now?" Liang Jinglun: "I have always been alone, a person who has no choice." He Xiaoyu: "Everyone has a choice." Liang Jinglun: "I chose not to choose." "It's time now, I don't want to hear you talk about philosophy." He Xiaoyu looked closely at Liang Jinglun, "You are leaving at dawn, I want to hear you read the passage from the foreign language bookstore to me again. OK ?" Liang Jinglun sighed from the bottom of his heart: "You really want to hear it, I will read it." He Xiaoyu slowly closed his eyes. "What does New China look like?" Liang Jinglun asked softly, looking out the window. Then, the voice gradually increased: "'It was a ship standing on the shore and looking out into the sea, the tip of the mast already visible...'" ——the passion in the tone seems to appear with the invisible mast tip! "'It is a round of morning sun standing on the top of a high mountain and looking at the east from a distance. It is a baby that is about to mature restlessly in the mother's womb'." After the excitement. He Xiaoyu heard the deep choking... She opened her eyes, the back of the gown is still the same! He Xiaoyu walked behind him and lightly stroked the inconspicuous wrinkle on the back of his clothes: "Accompany my dad well, and accompany my dad back well." Liang Jinglun turned around slowly, did not hide the tears in his eyes, and showed a smile at the same time: "By the way, I haven't blessed you and Meng Ao yet. Can I?" He Xiaoyu looked at him deeply. Nanyuan Airport. The sun was about to rise, and the backs of the two C-46s were smeared with red light. Under the first C-46, ten pilots saluted at the same time! Under the second C-46, ten pilots saluted at the same time! Beside the runway, He Xiaoyu was holding a bouquet of wild flowers, not daring to look at Fang Mengao beside him. Fang Mengao gave a salute as if accepting a review! Outside the runway, Wang Kejun stood there with Fang Buting, Cheng Xiaoyun and Xie Peidong. Looking at Fang Mengao who was saluting and He Xiaoyu who was holding flowers, Fang Buting smiled vicissitudes. Cheng Xiaoyun smiled carefully, and Xie Peidong stood beside her. Fang Mengao picked up He Xiaoyu, walked towards the first C-46, and boarded the cabin door. The pilots of the first C-46 turned together and trotted aboard. The pilots of the second C-46 turned together and trotted aboard. The cabin door slowly closed. The propeller turned slowly. The first plane begins taxiing. The second plane began taxiing. The planes took off one after another. The sun came out and the airport was full of sunshine. Fang Buting, Cheng Xiaoyun and Xie Peidong all faced the sun and looked at the sky. The two planes turned back from a distance, waved their wings over their heads, and then flew away into the distance, hidden in the sun. Suddenly, the sunlight in the sky turned into firelight!The roar of the plane turned into the sound of artillery! On the vast map of China, in the northeast of China, artillery fire broke out continuously in Changli, Beidaihe, Xingcheng, and Yixian on the Beining line, and around Jinzhou, and the sound of the artillery was loud! On September 12, 1948, the Northeast Field Army of the People's Liberation Army mobilized 700,000 people to launch the Liaoshen Campaign. From September 16 to 24, Jinzhou was besieged, and the decisive battle between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang began. prologue to... Immediately afterwards, the eastern part of Suiyuan Province and the southern part of Chahar Province.Cannon fire broke out continuously in Jining, Liangcheng, Fengzhen, Helinger, and Guisui, and the sound of the cannons shook the sky! The artillery fire then quickly shifted to Pingbei (north of Beiping), and rang continuously in Miyun, Huairou, and Sanhe. From September 23 to 27, 1948, in order to cooperate with the Liaoshen Campaign, the North China Field Army of the People's Liberation Army launched the Chasui Campaign, surrounded Guisui, cut off the Pingcheng Railway Line, contained Fu Zuoyi's North China Kuomintang Army, and made it Cannot aid the Northeast... Over Beiping Nanyuan Airport. The plane is taking off! The plane is landing! Beiping Nanyuan Airport. Fang Mengao's flight team ran to the C-46 transport plane. C-46 transport plane takes off! Beiping Nanyuan Airport. A C-46 transport plane lands. Fang Mengao's flight team ran off the plane! Outside Beiping Nanyuan Airport. The spinning wheels. A fleet of ten-wheeled trucks fully loaded with canvas roofs. Get off the plane and get on the truck. In the first truck, Fang Mengao drove the car himself, and Guo Jinyang sat beside him. In the second truck, Chen Changwu was driving, and Shao Yuangang was sitting beside him. The third truck, the fourth truck... The railing of the checkpoint rose rapidly, and the convoy roared past. The convoy drove into the western intersection, and in front of it was the gate of the general storage warehouse of the Beiping Civic Research Association. Fang Mengao slammed on the brakes, and the first truck stopped! All the trucks behind stopped. ——The crowd sat quietly outside the gate of the general storage warehouse! Men, women, old people, children. At the gate, the previous scene appeared, the iron fence, the military police, the police, and the youth army! No one made trouble, and no one spoke. Suddenly, fear flashed in Fang Mengao's eyes—Ye Biyu was sitting in the crowd, with Boqin on the left and Pingyang on the right! When Fang Mengao turned off the car key, his hands shook. He got out of the car. Chen Changwu followed from the cab of the second truck. Fang Mengao stood there, and Chen Changwu walked up behind him: "Captain, how do you get in the car?" Fang Mengao: "Tell everyone, stay in the car." "Yes." Chen Changwu turned and walked towards the convoy. Fang Mengao walked into the crowd, stepping on the ground as if on someone's body. Those who greeted were all indifferent eyes, and the helpless hands were holding gold coupons! At the gate, Battalion Commander Li looked at him, and Battalion Commander Li slowly raised his hand, ready to salute him. Fang Mengao stopped far away, and Li Battalion Commander gently lowered his hand again. A few more people passed through, and Ye Biyu looked into his eyes. Pingyang leaned in his mother's arms, Boqin stood up, and called softly: "Uncle Fang..." Fang Mengao immediately squatted down, put his arms around Boqin, and looked at Ye Biyu: "Aunt Cui, what's going on?" Ye Biyu glanced around quietly, and replied in a low voice: "Early this morning, all the shops were out of food..." Fang Mengao: "What are you doing here?" Ye Biyu: "Some people say that all the food has been brought here. We followed others. I didn't expect there to be so many people. Tell me, can we buy food here?" Tears welled up in Fang Mengao's eyes: "Why don't you go to President Fang or Xie Xiangli..." Ye Biyu: "I saw the newspaper, President Fang and Xie Xiangli have also exchanged banknotes. In addition to gold coupons, buying things with gold and silver is also against the law, so don't bother me." Fang Mengao hugged Boqin tightly and looked towards the warehouse door. The sun shines in my eyes, and I suddenly see Ma Hanshan wandering anxiously inside the gate! Fang Mengao closed his eyes, and Ma Hanshan's voice rang softly behind him and in his ears: "Fifty steps up from Deputy Director Cui's tomb, there is an old unowned tomb with only half a stele on it. "Kangxi was established in the thirty-seventh year", and dozens of gold bars are buried underneath, which is all my family property... Please Captain Fang tell Mrs. Cui, take it out when the time comes, it should be enough to raise two children..." "Captain Fang." Ye Biyu's voice called back to him, "Go and do business, we can't buy food, we'll leave later." Fang Mengao turned his face away and wiped his tears, and smiled at Boqin and Pingyang: "Go back with mother, uncle will buy food for you." Boqin: "Uncle, we have moved..." "Don't talk nonsense!" Ye Biyu glared at Boqin. Boqin dared not say any more. Fang Mengao looked at Ye Biyu suddenly: "When did you move?" The crowd suddenly commotion! A crowd of students suddenly appeared at the intersection on both sides of Daping! Fang Mengao stood up abruptly! On the east side, students came in a line. To the west, students lined up. The people who had been sitting stood up one after another. Fang Mengao keenly heard the sound of running on the ground at the same time! "Go back quickly!" Fang Mengao helped Ye Biyu up, and looked over quickly. The military police and police at the gate ran towards the student teams at the east and west street corners with their guns in hand! Only the youth army stood in place, and no one raised a gun. Zeng Keda appeared inside the big iron gate of the warehouse, looking at Fang Mengao. Fang Mengao glanced at his convoy and walked towards the warehouse gate. The signboard of "Peking Citizen Food Blending Committee" has disappeared. Zeng Dada and Fang Mengao walked into the General Storage Warehouse Office of the Beiping Citizens Research Association one after the other. This is Ma Hanshan's office at the polls, and now it is the temporary office of Zeng Keda of the Beiping Office of the Tianjin Economic Zone. After the two entered, the sound of slogans could be heard from far outside the warehouse gate. The students took the lead in shouting: "Civilians want to eat!" Everyone shouted in unison: "Civilians want to eat..." Zeng Da gently closed the door. "We want to buy food!" "We need to buy food..." Zeng Da went to close the window again. "Against wealthy hoarding!" "Against wealthy hoarding..." After closing the window, Zeng Keda stood in front of the window for a while. Fang Mengao looked behind him: "Do you want to shoot outside?" Zeng Keda: "Here, I don't give orders, and no one dares to shoot." Fang Meng'ao looked back straight at him, pulled away the chair and supported the back of the chair but did not sit down: "Golden coupons have been issued, why can't I buy food?" Zeng Keda: "After looting for a few days, the grain store in Beiping has run out of grain." Fang Mengao: "There is no food, or is there food not to sell?" Zeng Keda: "Some are really out of food, and some are hoarding food." Fang Mengao: "Why don't you care?" Zeng Da shook his head: "There are hoards in Tianjin, you can't control it, and I can't control it either." Fang Mengao: "Zhang Lisheng is in Tianjin, doesn't he care?" Zeng Keda: "The 67 tons of food that you flew three times today were all inspected by Inspector Zhang in Tianjin yesterday." Fang Mengao stared at Zeng Keda: "Are you trying to tell me that my flying brigade transports food to Beiping every day, and the more than one million citizens of Peiping still can't buy food?" Zeng Da: "Yes." Fang Mengao glanced at the tall tower where the grain was stored outside the window, and then turned to Zeng Keda: "You mean to sell the tens of thousands of tons of grain stored here to the citizens?" Zeng Da gave a wry smile: "You know, every catty of grain shipped here must have a military order to 'suppress the general' from North China." Fang Mengao: "People and students are outside the gate to my grain delivery convoy. What are you calling me in for?" Zeng Da's eyes flashed: "Sell the grain brought by your convoy to the citizens outside the door!" This was beyond Fang Mengao's expectation, he looked Zeng Da up and down. Zeng Keda: "I know what you want to ask. First, the ten truckloads of grain were sold to citizens in the name of the Beiping Office of the Tianjin Economic Zone. It has nothing to do with you. I am responsible. Second, the ten truckloads of grain sold are also It will not solve the dilemma of the 1.7 million citizens of Beiping who have no food to buy. Why I did this, I will tell you later. Let's go out." "I want to know now." Fang Mengao blocked the way out, looking at Zeng Dada with such eyes for the first time, "Tell me, cooperate with you." Zeng Da strode to the window, opened the window, and the slogan immediately became louder! Zeng Dada shouted: "Adjutant Wang!" Adjutant Wang ran over quickly and stood outside the window. Zeng Keda: "In the name of the Beiping Office of the Tianjin Economic Zone, inform the citizens outside the door to observe order and line up to buy food!" "Inspector..." Adjutant Wang was a little confused. Zeng Da shouted: "Go!" "yes!" Zeng Keda closed the window, turned around, and looked at Fang Mengao: "When did we arrive in Peiping?" Fang Mengao: "July 6th." Zeng Da: "What day is today?" Fang Mengao glanced at the calendar by the window. October 8 was imprinted on the calendar. Fang Mengao turned to Zeng Keda, but did not answer. Zeng Keda: "Today is October 8th. We have been in Peiping for three months and two days. From the five-member team to the investigation team of the Ministry of National Defense, check the polls, check the Beiping branch, and kill a few for a penny. The Communist Party, which was not corrupt, even killed innocent students who were not Communists. The group of five disbanded, and Xu Tieying left after killing everyone. No corruption was found, so Ma Hanshan was arrested and shot in Nanjing ten days ago. What did we do?" Zeng Da’s eyes were full of confusion, and he continued: “We just did one thing and promoted the reform of the currency system. What kind of currency system reform, less than two months, in Beiping, Tianjin, Chongqing, Guangzhou, the most inappropriate In Shanghai, grain stores were closed one after another, and the shelves of department stores and non-staple food stores were empty. Citizens exchanged the silver dollars they saved for buying coffins for gold coupons. They could no longer buy grain, coal, or even a bar of soap. Citizens are not allowed to use gold, silver, and foreign exchange, but some people blatantly use foreign exchange to buy American goods and hoard them in Shanghai, and then sell them at the price of US dollar bills on the black market. Traveling between Shanghai and Wuhan, snapping up a large amount of food that should have been purchased by the government, like entering a no-man's land! Captain Fang, I arrested you, interrogated you, and worked with you in Beiping. Everything I did You have seen it all. I just want to follow Director Jingguo to win the hearts of the Communists. Today is the day to finally win back the hearts of the people! I bet everything on whether Director Jingguo dares to arrest that person in Shanghai !" Fang Mengao: "Which person?" Zeng Da: "Kong Lingkan!" Fang Mengao: "How do you bet?" Zeng Keda: "Five days ago, the director of Jingguo sealed off the Yangtse Company, but in such a big Shanghai, no department dared to move a single piece of goods from the Yangtse Company. It was because Kong Lingkan was still driving his high-end sports car in Shanghai to demonstrate to the party and the state. Get out of this At the gate, I will sell ten truckloads of military rations to the citizens in the name of the Beiping Office of the Tianjin Economic Zone! Didn’t you just ask me why I did this? I’ll tell you now.” There was a gleam in Zeng Da's eyes. Fang Mengao's eyes were also shining. Zeng Keda: "The president has arrived in Beiping today, and he will hold a meeting in North China to suppress the General Manager. I am here to sell military rations to him to the death! Either send someone to arrest me, or agree to the director of Jingguo's arrest of Kong Lingkan in Shanghai!" Fang Mengao: "What do you need me to do?" Zeng Keda: "I just said that today's matter has nothing to do with you. I asked you to come in to tell you that in the future, no matter what your status is, please come out and say something fair. There are also people in the KMT who sincerely serve the people. There are also people who dare to beat tigers." Zeng Keda went to open the door, but Fang Mengao stepped aside. The door opened, and Zeng Da suddenly stopped again, looking back at Fang Mengao: "Ask an irrelevant question, and answer me if you want." Fang Mengao: "Please tell me." Zeng Keda: "Is the moon nearer, or Nanjing nearer?" Fang Mengao: "Now I am the closest to you." Zeng Da laughed and strode out. Fang Mengao strode out to follow. The street outside the main gate of the Fang Mansion. A jeep from the Garrison Command stopped abruptly! Two gendarmerie trucks from the police headquarters came to a screeching halt! The door of the jeep was pushed open, and it was Sun Chaozhong who jumped out, with two bars and two stars, he was already the deputy director of the investigation department of the police headquarters! Sun Chaozhong: "Martial law!" With steel helmets and steel guns, the military police of the first truck jumped out of the car and ran to the alley outside the gate. With steel helmets and steel guns, the military police from the second truck jumped out of the car and set up surveillance at the intersection. The alley was immediately filled with gendarmes. The streets were also full of gendarmes. Fang Mansion is under martial law! Then a jeep brushed against Sun Chaozhong's and stopped. Fang Mengwei jumped out of the car and walked towards Sun Chaozhong. Sun Chaozhong greeted him: "Deputy Director Fang..." Fang Mengwei: "Call me Deputy Director Fang." Sun Chaozhong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately called out again: "Deputy Director Fang." Fang Mengwei: "Did the detectives come to my house to arrest people?" Sun Chaozhong: "I don't know." Fang Mengwei: "Confiscating the house?" Sun Chaozhong: "I don't know." "I don't know why you brought the soldiers here?!" Fang Mengwei roared. Sun Chaozhong: "The order of the garrison headquarters is ordered to martial law." Fang Mengwei's face gradually turned pale, and he looked towards his own alley from the street entrance, and one by one the gendarmes were lined up under the walls on both sides of the alley. "Has my deputy director of the detective department been withdrawn?" Fang Mengwei looked at Sun Chaozhong again. Sun Chaozhong: "I didn't receive the order." "It's fine if you don't have one." Fang Mengwei walked towards the door of his house. The gendarmes in the alley bumped their legs to salute. The living room on the first floor of Fang Mansion. Fang Mengwei's heart trembled when he entered the living room, and he was stunned at the door. My aunt changed into the Chinese tunic suit that I don't wear easily, and was coming down from the second floor with a suitcase. Father also changed into a suit, sat on the sofa, and looked at himself. Xie Peidong went downstairs, walked to the middle of the living room, and put down the box. Fang Mengwei walked over slowly and looked at his aunt. Xie Peidong also looked at him, and smiled slightly: "It's nothing." What does nothing mean? Fang Mengwei turned to look at his father again. Fang Buting didn't look back at the clock, but glanced at his watch, and said to Xie Peidong, "It's over, let's finish it." "I'm afraid it won't be finished." Xie Peidong looked at the coffee table in front of Fang Buting. Only then did Fang Mengwei realize that there was a game of Go on the coffee table. Fang Buting: "Then take a few steps and count as a few steps." Xie Peidong walked over and sat down in front of the chessboard. Fang Mengweimeng was in the living room, and Cheng Xiaoyun came over from the stairs in the dining room. Fang Mengwei looked straight at her. Cheng Xiaoyun also looked blank and just shook his head. "What's going on?" Fang Mengwei looked at his father, his voice trembling. Fang Buting just picked up a chess piece, and glanced at his son: "Didn't people outside tell you?" Fang Mengwei looked straight at his father. Fang Buting: "Don't ask again until I tell you." Fang Mengwei walked over quickly and stood in front of the coffee table: "Brother sells military rations, here is auntie, right?" Cheng Xiaoyun trembled, and hurried over, looking at Xie Peidong, then at Fang Buting. Xie Peidong also looked at Fang Buting. Fang Buting threw the chess pieces at his fingertips into the chess box: "In less than two months, I raised 50,000 tons of military rations for Fu Zuoyi, enough to feed his 200,000 troops in Beiping for half a year. Arrests!" Xie Peidong: "The KMT no longer has any secrets to speak of, and we don't have to keep any secrets for them in this family, let's tell them." "I can't finish it, I can't do it." Fang Buting stood up, "Chiang Kai-shek is here, and he is having a meeting with the "Suppression General" in North China, and informed us that we are going to see the treasury." Fang Mengwei opened his eyes wide: "Auntie is going too?" Fang Buting: "Your aunt is handling the accounts of the Beiping branch, and your aunt knows better than me how much money is in the treasury. Don't they suspect that your aunt is a Communist Party? Then let the Communist Party tell Chiang Kai-shek in person, within two months, How much gold and silver foreign exchange did the Beiping branch raise for him." Fang Mengwei relaxed his heart and looked at Cheng Xiaoyun. Seeing that she had also recovered, he couldn't help looking at the big box in the middle of the living room. Doorbell rang! "Wang Kejun is here." Fang Buting walked towards the living room door. Xie Peidong followed, just about to pick up the box in the middle of the living room. Fang Mengwei hurried over to pick up the box. "Here for your aunt." Fang Buting stared at Fang Mengwei and handed the box to Xie Peidong, "For these bad debts in Peiping, his son asked my son to check me for a few months, tossing us for a few months, and I will hand it over to you today." His old man, it's up to their father and son to get over the hurdle!" Martial law has been imposed on the street outside the treasury of the Peking branch. Both sides are full of military police from the garrison headquarters, steel helmets, steel guns, and leather boots! In the small jeep, Wang Kejun sat in the passenger seat and ordered in a low voice: "Slow down!" On the back seat, in Fang Buting's eyes, outside the car window, there was a steel gun with blue light, another steel gun with blue light, and another steel gun with blue light! Fang Buting turned to look at Xie Peidong who was sitting beside him. Xie Peidong put the box flat on his lap, and looked at him as well, and the two of them met eyes. The car stopped suddenly, and both of them shook slightly. It was already outside the gate of the treasury compound, and the head of the North China "Suppression Zong" security regiment stood in front of the car with a palm straight in the way! Wang Kejun got out of the car, and the head of the guard saluted him: "Report to Secretary-General Wang, the car is parked outside, please walk in!" "Got it." Wang Kejun waved his hand. Two gendarmes opened the rear door of the jeep at the same time. Fang Buting came down from the left. Xie Peidong came down from the right carrying the suitcase. Wang Kejun's car was not allowed in, but there were two Buicks and one Jeep parked in the vault compound of the Peking branch. From the gate all the way to the three high walls, those standing were not military policemen, but soldiers wearing coarse military uniforms and carrying pistols. These were Fu Zuoyi's personal guards! In front of the iron gate of the treasury, the gold police squad was gone, and there stood eight strong men in Chinese tunic suits, each wearing a party emblem above the left jacket pocket. Wang Kejun led Fang Buting and Xie Peidong to the eight Chinese tunic suits. Wang Kejun took the initiative to take out a pistol and handed it to the leader in the Chinese tunic suit, and smiled at him: "Manager Fang and Xie Xiangli from the Beiping Branch of the Central Bank." The leader in the tunic suit smiled back, looked at Fang Buting and Xie Peidong: "It's a pleasure to meet you. Those in the attendant's room need a routine inspection, please understand." Fang Buting opened his hands. Xie Peidong put down the box and opened his hands. Two attendants came over, they were very professional and polite, and quickly searched him from top to bottom. The leader in the tunic suit stared at the box again. Xie Peidong took out the key and opened the lock, and lifted the lid of the box. The leader in the Chinese tunic suit squatted down, flipped through the account books quickly, and groped along the inside of the suitcase, and closed the box: "Manager Fang and Xie Xiangli can go in." Fang Buting: "I have something to ask." The leader in the Chinese tunic suit: "Excuse me." Fang Buting: "How did you open the vault?" The leader in the Chinese tunic suit smiled: "President Yu of your central bank is also here, and he also has the key." Fang Buting: "Understood, thank you!" The leader in the Chinese tunic stretched out his hand: "Please come in." With Fang Buting in front, Xie Peidong carrying the suitcase behind, and Wang Kejun at the end, they walked into the first iron gate of the vault. In the Ministry of Industry of Huabei City, Fuping County, there was a tick-tock sound of sending and receiving reports. No one spoke, no one moved. All the telegraph operators sat facing the wall, receiving and sending reports, "I don't know if there is a Han, regardless of Wei and Jin." Only Liu Yun stood in front of Radio No. 1. The operator of Radio No. 1 handed him a telegram that had just been translated: "Minister, urgent call from the Beiping City Ministry of Industry!" Liu Yun received the telegram, his eyes were startled! The content on the telegram paper: "Zeng Dafang Mengao sold 67 tons of military rations to the citizens. Chiang Kai-shek, Fu Zuoyi, and Yu Hongjun secretly inspected the treasury of the Beiping branch, accompanied by Fang Buting and Xie Peidong. The Ministry of Industry of Beiping City." Liu Yun immediately handed the telegram to operator No. 1: "Send the full text to the Central Committee!" "yes!"
