Chapter 9 Chapter VII

The place I went to was really good. There were six soldiers standing guard at the three gates of the Shenzhai compound.It's just that there are no newly laundered mattresses or new quilts, not even a hard plank bed, let alone a new girl.Zheng Shaobai curled up on the damp and moldy wheat straw overnight, and was taken to the torture room early the next morning with his head covered in wheatgrass shavings. The person who interrogated him was a boy in his thirties, tall and thin, wearing a navy blue Chinese tunic suit, and he was always sullen.The little white face put the seized hexagram book on the table with a "slap", stared at Zheng Shaobai for a long time, and then said darkly: "Zheng Shaobai, let me remind you first: we have found out the details! You joined the Communist Party in Qingpu in the 14th year of the Republic of China. Later, you were sentenced to five years in prison by Commander Lin for stealing military supply trains. After you were released from prison last year, you connected with the local Communist Party gangsters and acted as traffic for the gangsters. That’s right. Bar?"

Zheng Shaobai was really scared at the time, he never imagined that in just one night, people would find out his identity and history.He didn't know how they figured it out, but the first thought that came to his mind was: someone betrayed him. "If it's good, I have to talk to you! You are a sensible person, and you have been to this kind of place, so I won't talk about it. Tell me, who is your contact person? Where is the contact person in Xixu? Station? In Weifeng City, Qingpu City, who else is a member of the Communist Party? Who brought the documents of your special committee to Weifeng?"

This made Zheng Shaobai confused again: Since the little boy in front knew that he joined the party in Qingpu for 14 years, why didn't he know about Wang Sange?Why do you still ask him?So it seems that he has not been sold?Is the little boy a fucking bluff?Could it be that the little boy guessed that the train left from Qingpu six years ago, so he guessed that he joined the Communist Party in Qingpu?I can rely on it.At least try to rely on it. "I... I'm not a Communist Party, and I didn't join the Communist Party in Qingpu. You can check! I... If I were a Communist Party, Lin Zhengpu's Military Law Department would have executed me six years ago! I picked up the hexagrams on the road."

"Are you literate?" "illiterate!" "Why do you pick up divination books if you can't read?" "Keep...keep wiping... rubbing buttocks, it's better than sticks..." The little boy slapped the table with a "slap", and stood straight up: "What lies can we make up, keep making up! We can't see through, they are all fools..." Saying this, the boy walked around the table and walked to In front of Zheng Shaobai, "I tell you, the surname is Zheng. I sent a telegram to Chairman An of the Party Committee of Qingpu City yesterday. Do you understand? The fact that you joined the Communist Party was confirmed by Lao An himself! Lao An knows me very well, you I left Qingpu in 14 years of the Republic of China, and I came to Qingpu in 2016. I specialize in cleaning up the party, which is to clean up you! Lao An asked me to be more polite to you, but I have to agree. I wanted to give Lao An a face. Now, you If you are so obsessed with obsession, I can't give Lao An any face!"

After finishing speaking, Xiaobailian waved his hand, the felt hat and beard who caught Zheng Shaobai yesterday rushed up, dragged Zheng Shaobai to a big wooden pillar and tied him up. "Do you want to talk? I'll give you three minutes to think about it!" The little boy returned to the table and sat down, lit a cigarette and started smoking. Smoke bursts in front of Zheng Shaobai. It was a hell of three minutes. Zheng Shaobai thought a lot during these three minutes.The little boy made it clear: An Zhongliang was the one who proved him guilty of communism, and he couldn't deny it.The hexagram book at hand can't be relied on.If you don't tell everything you know, if you don't confess to Wang Sange Wang Shousong and Lao Tan, if they don't beat him to death, they will have to kill him.But if he confessed to Third Brother Wang, that would be to push Third Brother Wang down the gun, which would not be tolerated by the laws of heaven and conscience!The third brother is so kind to him, six years ago in Qingpu, it was so dangerous, the third brother Wang even sent him to the train.After getting out of prison, penniless, starving for three days, he would not have been able to enter the Yongli Iron Works, nor would he have been able to marry Ye Chunlan if he hadn't bumped into Third Brother Wang by chance.Everything about him today was given to him by Third Brother Wang, and it can be said that Third Brother Wang is so kind to him!If he even sells such a benefactor, can he still be considered a person?Not to mention that he and Brother Wang are still brothers who have kowtowed and exchanged posts.

Three minutes is really short, and it passed in a flash. The little white face dropped the cigarette butt, stomped it out with his foot, and beckoned the bearded man and the felt hat to do it. The bearded man and the felt hat each hold a whip, you hit him, and I hit him in turn.At first, Zheng Shaobai was still afraid, and he was startled and moved so hard that the wooden pillar shook.Then I couldn't make money.I just felt two wet red snakes with a bloody smell kept dancing in front of my eyes, running across my body, the pain was very painful, my whole body seemed to be overturned, but my fear was wiped out without a trace.Zheng Shaobai yelled fiercely, scolded fiercely, scolded everything, anyway, this is the case, he is not afraid anymore, if he dies inside and outside, he must die like a human being, don't let people look down upon him!Don't let people point to his grave in the future and say: This guy is not loyal, he was treated a hundred times well by him, and he even sold him out.He can't sell Third Brother Wang, and he can't sell Third Brother Wang!He was not dragged by the third brother to join the Communist Party. He held the Communist Party meeting in Weifeng and passed things back and forth. He was also voluntary.

At some point, Zheng Shaobai was silent from cursing, all the strength in his body seemed to have been pulled away by the sticky whip, a golden star flashed in front of his eyes, he tilted his head, and he passed away. When I woke up, I found that my body and head were covered with water. The little boy said darkly again: "Give me another three minutes to think about it. If you don't say anything, just change the taste and try the fire." When the little boy was talking, the bearded man had already put two pokers into the red stove and burned them. The felt hat was pulling the bellows beside him, and the fire was blowing up and down.

It's terrible, everyone knows what it's like to burn yourself with red-hot pokers. These three minutes are different from those three minutes, he has to cherish them. Feeling that I can't stand it anymore, my thinking becomes broader.Suddenly remembered Lao Tan who was pulling the rickshaw, and thought that Lao Tan should be confessed.This old Tan is not very familiar with him, let alone have any friendship, which has nothing to do with loyalty.He confessed him, which seems to be justified in terms of heaven and conscience. "I...I..." Zheng Shaobai's tightly closed lips started.

Xiaobailian noticed this gratifying sign in time, and rushed to Zheng Shaobai: "Say! Say it!" "I... I said..." "Yes, yes! I'm listening, listening!" But he also felt that he couldn't say it. It wasn't that Lao Tan's business was a matter of loyalty, but that he was afraid that he would confess to Lao Tan. If Lao Tan couldn't stand it like him, if he confessed to Third Brother Wang, it would mean that he confessed to Third Brother Wang. It's about morality. "I... I... As I said, I... I am not the Communist Party!" The little white face was furious, grabbed Zheng Shaobai's hair, and slammed his head against the wooden post, shouting, "Burning! Burning with tongs! I don't believe there are really tough guys in this world!"

The bearded man came over holding the red pokers, Zheng Shaobai only heard a trembling sound of "Zi" and smelled the smell of burnt flesh, he screamed and died again... He finally didn't say anything. In the face of the torture in the torture room, Zheng Shaobai seriously acted as a tough guy.The later mutiny really had nothing to do with this torture, and it really wasn't because his bones were too soft.Zheng Shaobai believes that he has done everything that a loyal man can do, but not everyone can do it.
