The three of them ate in a small restaurant outside, and when they returned to the old house by the Jinjiang River, it was already dark, and Uncle Yu and his wife were still waiting for them to eat in the side room with lights on.Embarrassed, Li Hanzhang took out a few more silver dollars and put them on the table, saying, "Fortunately, some old bills have been collected. We ate outside, so we'll go up and rest now. You also eat and go to bed early." Being too nervous during the day, the three of them went upstairs. Without saying anything, they arranged a sentry time and took their places.Jiang Huiqi got up in the middle of the night to change Zhou Yungang's whistle, and when he heard Li Hanzhang turning over, he asked softly, "Director, can't you sleep?"

Li Hanzhang sat up and said in a low voice, "Wang Shiqi has already voted for the Communist Party. I can't accept it." Zhou Yungang walked over from the sentry post at the top of the stairs, sat next to Li Hanzhang, and said, "Director, to be honest, I am your bodyguard. I will follow wherever you go. If you vote for the Communist Party, I will vote for the Communist Party. If you go to the mountains to fight guerrillas , I will go into the mountains to fight guerrillas.” "Have you no idea of ​​your own?" "Director, when will we have our own ideas? Soldiers are bound to obey orders." Jiang Huiqi sat on the stairs, put his hand on his big nose, and said with a sigh, "Now, everyone is just a lost dog."

Jiang Huiqi's words reminded Li Hanzhang of his Doberman pinscher Heibo.He looked at the adjutants and guards who were following him, and ordered: "You guys rest, I will keep watch. There is still a task tomorrow." Li Hanzhang's so-called "task" was to take Jiang Huiqi and Zhou Yungang to find the contact point of the Central Committee in Chengdu. Li Hanzhang knows that the intelligence network of the Sichuan Investigation Office includes the party network and correspondents. The full name of the party network is "Chinese Nationalist Party Member Investigation Network Staff", and the correspondents have also been developed since the establishment of the Sichuan Investigation Office in 1940.According to the last statistics before he left Chongqing, there were more than 6,000 party members in Sichuan, and more than 4,000 correspondents.Most of these people became headless chickens like those they met at Xinjin Airport, but some of them accepted orders and hid down.Li Hanzhang knew very well that Liu Qinghuai from the Western Sichuan Office had not left Chengdu, because Qi Zhongquan, Secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, had already appointed him as the director of the Left-behind Department of the Provincial Party Committee before leaving for Taiwan.

These left-behind spies are trained backbones. Li Hanzhang believes that they are connected with other left-behind spies across the country. Moreover, the entire left-behind spies are like an invisible net that can be drawn in and released at any time. With red and green slogans all over the street, Li Hanzhang, who has always been calm, experienced the power of the Communist Army's political propaganda from a new perspective.He took Jiang Huiqi and Zhou Yungang from one contact point to another. During this period, from time to time, he encountered Communist soldiers running past them with loaded guns and live ammunition. Officers and soldiers in military uniform or spies in all kinds of ordinary clothes parade through the streets.Every time Li Hanzhang saw a familiar face, his heart would twitch. Then, he turned his face away, pretending to be very casual, and pulled the top hat on his head.

Uneasy, Li Hanzhang and his party came to Purification Street.There is a Guandi Temple on this street. If there are any public-private disputes between the Zhongtong secret agents handled by Sichuan, the most direct way is to come here to burn incense and kowtow.After Liu Qinghuai accepted the order to stay, she brought dozens of spies here to make a blood alliance and vowed to resist to the end.However, I don't know whether Li Hanzhang should be lucky or disappointed. Just when they arrived, this spy nest was destroyed by the People's Liberation Army: every few steps along the street was a soldier of the People's Liberation Army with a gun, lurking here The Zhongtong personnel were escorted all the way over with their hands tied behind their backs.Some of them were wearing blue cloth gowns, some were wearing bunts, but they all buried their heads on their chests, their eyes were on the road, and they were pushed and pushed forward.

Li Hanzhang is dressed in the attire of a wealthy businessman today: brown crystal glasses with copper legs, a navy blue layered gown, a black woolen top hat, and black leather shoes.Zhou Yungang, who was following behind him, was dressed as Li Hanzhang's entourage and wore bunt; Jiang Huiqi was dressed as Li Hanzhang's accountant, wearing a commoner gown.But each of them has a relatively small six-shot revolver that is easy to hide in their waists, just in case of accidents. Looking at the familiar faces that were escorted out of the Guandi Temple, they understood very well that although they put on makeup, even Guan Erye could not protect them from being recognized by these former colleagues. "Revealing meritorious service."If that's the case, it will be completely planted.Therefore, Li Hanzhang gave the two subordinates a wink, and the three of them had a good understanding, and walked to the corner slowly, blocking the sight of the Zhongtong spies who were escorted out one after another, and then looked around to make sure that there was no danger. Only then slowly exited Purification Street.

Unexpectedly, just as they reached the corner of Purification Street, two heavily armed People's Liberation Army soldiers, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared from the side, holding a center rifle and stopped them. "Stop for me! Where are you from? What do you do?" Maybe Li Hanzhang's rich attire was too eye-catching, the tall Liberation Army spoke Shandong dialect, and stared at Li Hanzhang unceremoniously when he came up. Li Hanzhang adjusted his glasses legs and was thinking about how to answer. Jiang Huiqi who was following behind hurriedly squeezed in front of Li Hanzhang, took out a box of "Hardman" from his pocket, and smoked a cigarette while nodding and bending over while fucking Said to the two People's Liberation Army in Sichuan dialect: "Sir, sir, work hard, this is our boss Zhou Yaozu, who is doing some tea business in Simao, Yunnan, and Bazi, West Sichuan." After speaking, he faced the two PLA He walked forward with the muzzle of his gun while passing up the two cigarettes in his hand.

Li Hanzhang watched the reactions of the two PLA soldiers calmly, while Zhou Yungang standing on his right took a deep breath, pretending to be cold, and put his hands into each other's cuffs.Li Hanzhang knew what he meant, because all three of them hid a revolver in their loose sleeves. "Stop! Don't go any further. Tell the three of you, we don't want to be called sirs, we have to be called comrades! Do you understand? It's a new society now, remember the three of you from now on, we have to be called 'comrade'! Alright Well, he is the boss, what are you two doing?" The short Liberation Army shook the gun in his hand, spoke Tianjin dialect, and stopped Jiang Huiqi who was trying to approach him.

After hearing this, Li Hanzhang understood that the two soldiers of the People's Liberation Army believed in their identities, so he quickly took out the documents he had prepared and handed them over.This is a "National ID Card" named "Zhou Yaozu" with his own photo on it.After the tall soldier of the People's Liberation Army took the gun and took over the documents, Li Hanzhang pushed Jiang Huiqi aside again, and said to the short People's Liberation Army with a smile: "You two comrades, I don't understand your army's new rules. Please don't be surprised if you speak inappropriately. .”

The tall People's Liberation Army carefully looked at the certificate from left to right, then looked at Li Hanzhang, returned the certificate to him, and said, "Didn't you see the notice posted on the street? We have established a military control committee. This is the ID card of Lao Jiang's puppet government." It will be invalidated. Remember, hurry up and get a new certificate. Do you know where? If you don’t know..." "I get it, I got it, sir, it's hard work. We got it, let's change it now, change it now." Jiang Huiqi rubbed his nose, bowed his waist and answered, while continuing to put the two cigarettes into the hands of the two PLA soldiers. delivery.

"Pull it down! We, the People's Liberation Army, don't like this. Pretend to smoke by yourself. Okay, okay, let's go." The tall People's Liberation Army with a Shandong accent waved his hand while speaking. The three of them made a false alarm, and when they returned to the house by the Jinjiang River, they were relieved. After Li Hanzhang brought Jiang Huiqi and Zhou Yun into the house, he saw Aunt Yu sitting under the eaves mending clothes while taking care of her grandson, and asked casually, "Is Father Yu out?" "He? I'm very busy, and I'm going to Huaishujing to have some tea again." Aunt Yu raised her head and replied with a smile. "He is a capable man." Li Hanzhang said, winking at Jiang Huiqi and Zhou Yungang, and the three went straight upstairs. There are many teahouses in Sichuan, not because Sichuan people can't drink tea quietly at home, but because Sichuan people drink tea only as a means, and solving problems big and small in teahouses is the purpose.Whether it's between neighbors, between brothers, or entertainers running the docks, gambling with money, underworld and white ways, any disputes are resolved in teahouses: both parties find a few trustworthy people and gather in teahouses , a bowl of tea in front of one person, both sides talk about their own reasons, who is right and wrong, after a long battle, there will always be a solution that satisfies both parties, and then the party who loses the reason pays the tea money, and everyone bows to each other , each dispersed, no longer care about. Every time Li Hanzhang comes here, he always encounters Father Yu being invited to have tea lectures, which shows that he can enjoy both black and white dishes in the local area, and he is a man of great powers. After going upstairs, closing the door, the three gathered together, quietly discussing what to do next. "You all saw it at the entrance of Purification Street just now. If it weren't for Huiqi's adaptability, we might have been exposed. So, I thought about it, and you can no longer follow me in the future. For the Communist Party, there is something wrong with me Blood debt, they will never spare me lightly; I know too much about the party-state, so I was named and must go to Taiwan. That is to say, now, I am likely to be someone who must be found on both sides. Fortunately, I All my family members went to Hong Kong, and I carried my head on my two shoulders. I have nothing to worry about. I can rest wherever it is dark, and I can find a place to hide. But you are different. First of all, you are both young and have no family. You have to go back to continue the incense; secondly, you have no blood debts on your body, even if you are arrested, you will not be beheaded." After Li Hanzhang finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Huiqi and Zhou Yungang.He himself felt that what he said just now was not like what he said, it was too wordy, but he just said it like that. Moreover, he felt that there was something under his tongue, and he really wanted to say it, but he couldn't. Jiang Huiqi lowered his head and fiddled with the revolver in his hand without saying a word. Zhou Yungang was impatient after all, he clenched his fists and lowered his voice and said, "Director, if you go into the mountains, I will follow you to fight guerrillas; if you find a way to Taiwan, I will be an escort all the way." "No! You two have to leave me so that you can be safe. When you went upstairs, did you hear what Aunt Yu said?" Li Hanzhang saw the two people looking at him blankly, so he had to ask himself, "I think the most A good way is to ask Father Yu to help sell the two submachine guns and these good pistols we brought along the way, so that everyone can walk with the money. I have two guns here, and you only keep one. A pistol is enough for self-defense... In addition, you must bring your national ID card, it is a talisman." Zhou Yungang wanted to say something, but Li Hanzhang reached out his hand to stop him, saying, "That's it! I've already decided." Father Yu didn't come back until the evening after his tea lecture.Li Hanzhang asked Zhou Yungang to wait at the door. When he saw Father Yu coming back, he hurriedly invited him upstairs and said, "Father Yu, the war is in chaos, and business is not easy. We bought some guns and wanted to exchange them for money. You can see if you can buy them." Can't help?" When they first arrived, Father Yu could tell that they had real things in their back pockets. Now that they said this, he didn’t want to expose them, so he quickly agreed: “These things are very popular now, and they are easy to sell. Very well, leave it to me." Li Hanzhang said: "We are foreigners. We dare not show our faces here to do these businesses. We bother Dad to run away. No matter what the price is, we will definitely give Dad a tap. However, the price can be negotiated, but as long as silver dollars and Chuanban, other don't want." Seeing that it was profitable, Father Yu took his son up the mountain overnight to find someone to contact.Before dawn, the father and son came back and said to Li Hanzhang as soon as they entered the room: "Mr. Zhou, two submachine guns carry 600 yang of bullets, and two pistols carry 400 yang of bullets; Do you think it's okay to offer one thousand silver dollars or ten million yuan?" This price is much higher than what Li Hanzhang expected.Li Hanzhang knew that Father Yu hadn't been caught in the middle, and secretly admired the old man for adhering to the morals of the world. Seeing that Li Hanzhang had no objection, Father Yu's son turned and went out.After a while, six people were brought in. They were dressed in the clothes common to men in Bazi, western Sichuan, but their backs were straight when they walked, and their sleeves were windy. They were not ordinary peasants at first glance.When everyone met, they put all the money and weapons on the ground without making a sound. After looking at each other for a few times, they bent down, took their own things, and then walked away.A transaction ended simply like this. After the people left with their weapons on their shoulders, Li Hanzhang took a small bag and put three hundred silver dollars in it, and said to his father, "Don't worry about it, don't think it's too little." Father Yu was from Jianghu, so he didn't refuse, and after thanking him, he picked up three hundred yuan and left. After Father Yu left, Li Hanzhang sat there with his head down, smoking one cigarette after another. After throwing away six or seven cigarette butts, Li Hanzhang found a square iron box from the room.Zhou Yungang and Jiang Huiqi saw that it was a pack of 20 "Longma" brand cigarettes, and the seal had not yet been opened.The two looked at each other in surprise, because this kind of cigarette case was very rare at that time, and only high-ranking military officials could enjoy it, and, more importantly, neither of them had seen this thing before! Li Hanzhang stroked the pack of cigarettes and said to himself, "This pack of cigarettes has been with me for more than ten years..." Afterwards, he stood up and said to Zhou Yungang and Jiang Huiqi, "You two stay at home, I'll go out for a while." "Director, where are you going?" Zhou Yungang asked immediately, and Jiang Huiqi also stood up. "Don't worry about this!" Li Hanzhang put on his coat, put on the pair of brown crystal glasses, picked up the top hat, and was about to go out, still dressed like a wealthy businessman. "That won't work! Director, I am your bodyguard! It is my duty to protect your safety. I must follow you, or I will be negligent!" Zhou Yungang competed with Li Hanzhang. Jiang Huiqi then said: "Director, what happened at the entrance of Purification Street shows that the communist army is currently investigating very strictly. If you don't have something very important, you'd better not go out! If you have to go out, then you have to let me Yun Gang and I follow you, so we can take care of you." "I have to go out. At this time, this matter may not be a big deal to others; but to me, it is very important!" Li Hanzhang listened to their words, pondered for a while, and finally He made a decision and said, "Well, Hui Qi, you stay at home and take care of our things." He pointed at the silver dollars and RMB that he had just obtained from selling the gun with his finger, "Yun Gang, come with me." Zhou Yungang was still in bunt, pretending to be a follower of Zhou Yaozu, a wealthy businessman.The two went downstairs one after the other. When they reached the first floor, Father Yu and his wife were preparing dinner. Seeing that Li Hanzhang and Zhou Yungang were about to go out again, they greeted him: "Dinner will be ready soon, why are you going out again?" "Father, invite my brother upstairs to eat together. We both have to go out in a hurry, and we'll be right back." Li Hanzhang talked to Father Yu, and handed him a cigarette. "Come back earlier, the People's Liberation Army has a curfew, and you won't be able to come back if you're late." Father Yu took the cigarette and reminded him. "Understood." Li Hanzhang agreed and led Zhou Yungang to quicken his pace, leaving the house by the Jinjiang River.Then, go straight to the direction of Chunxi Road. Jiang Huiqi and Zhou Yungang didn't know at all that Li Hanzhang had another thing on his mind when he came to Chengdu this time, which was to pay homage to his mentor Dai Jitao. More than 10 months ago, Dai Jitao's coffin was transported from Guangzhou to Chengdu by plane. People from all walks of life in Chengdu set up a mourning hall in Wenshu Monastery and held public sacrifices. After that, they were buried in Dai's Garden in Zaozi Lane.It happened that during that time, Li Hanzhang received a secret mission from Commander Yang Sen and took his men to Xikang to investigate the communication between Liu Wenhui and the Communist Party.This trip lasted nearly two months.Mr. Dai's coffin was parked in Wenshu Monastery for 59 days. He failed to rush back to Chengdu, failed to go to the coffin to pay homage, and did not catch up with the public sacrifices held by all walks of life in Chengdu before Mr. Dai's burial, let alone when Mr. Dai was buried. , to see him off for the last time.After completing the mission and returning to Chongqing, it was already May. In various battlefields across the country, the national army was retreating steadily. In Xikang and Yunnan provinces, there were various signs of defection from time to time.Therefore, during this period, Commander Yang Sen kept assigning him various temporary tasks.Although he kept commuting between Chongqing and Chengdu because of his official duties, he came and went in a hurry every time, and his wish to go to Dai's garden to pay homage to Dai Jitao has been put on hold, and it is still just a wish.This matter has become a heart disease that he has been unable to talk about with others in the past few months.But now, Li Hanzhang has a premonition that if he leaves Chengdu this time, it will be almost impossible to return in this lifetime.Therefore, he had to make this wish while he was still in Chengdu.Otherwise, even if he dies in the future, he will have no face to see Mr. Dai again. The box of "Dragon Horse" cigarettes he dug out just now was specially rewarded by Dai Jitao to Li Hanzhang when he got good grades in the "College Entrance Examination" and successfully entered the Judiciary of the National Government.This pack of cigarettes has been kept because Li Hanzhang knows that Mr. Dai did this not only because he and Li Hanzhang's father are family friends, but also because he appreciates Li Hanzhang's talent.For so many years, from the Central Party Headquarters, the Military Commission, the Political Department, the Central News Agency, back to the Central Unified Headquarters, and transferred to the Chongqing Party Headquarters, the positions and identities are constantly changing, but Li Hanzhang is grateful for Mr. Dai's kindness, My feelings for Mr. Dai have not changed.He treasured the pack of cigarettes and was never willing to open it to take a look. Although he estimated that the twenty cigarettes inside were moldy long ago, he still kept it intact. After the national government moved to Guangzhou at the end of 1948, Li Hanzhang heard the news that Mr. Dai was ill.At that time, he wanted to take time to visit this mentor who had influenced him for most of his life.But the national army retreated all the way, and the war became increasingly tense. It was not until February 1949 that he learned that Mr. Dai committed suicide by taking sleeping pills at his home in Guangzhou on the 11th.The newspaper at that time reported the matter with the headline "Old Elder Dai Jitao died of illness yesterday morning, holding hands in Guangzhou before the dean's departure". But later Li Hanzhang got the news that President Jiang urged Dai Jitao to go to Taiwan together, but the current situation Desperate, he refused several times. Moreover, Dean Dai, who had devoted himself to Buddhism since the Anti-Japanese War, made a special trip to the Liurong Temple in Guangzhou a few days before his death. The Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara who is usually worshiped is placed in the Juehuang Hall of Liurong Temple in person, and he talks about Zen with the eminent monks in the temple, saying that he will leave this evil world soon... These "insider" things were only heard about by Li Hanzhang later.He was very regretful, why he didn't take time to visit Mr. after so many days. Of course, Zhou Yungang who followed Li Hanzhang didn't know about Li Hanzhang's thoughts.With the lessons learned at the intersection of Purification Street last time, along the way, he kept his eyes on six roads, his ears on all sides, and the movement along the way, and he never left the handle of the gun hidden at his waist.Fortunately, it was still early in the morning, and what they saw along the way this time was basically signs of chaos after the chaos. Most of the courtyards of the people on both sides of the street were closed, but all kinds of shops were open, as usual. business.When passing by a hotel, Li Hanzhang thought about it, went in and bought a small altar of Luzhou Laojiao. These scenes along the way made Li Hanzhang feel like a bottle of five flavors. Passing through Chunxi Road, crossing East Street and Xiyu Street, exiting Xinximen, and arriving at Dai’s Garden in Zaozi Lane, this is the route that Mr. Dai took when he went to the funeral.The reason why Li Hanzhang walked to Dai's garden along this route was to make up for his regret that he was not able to see Mr. Dai for the last journey, and it was also to avoid guilt for the rest of his life. Fortunately, even though they were interrogated twice by soldiers from the People's Liberation Army, Li Hanzhang and Zhou Yungang were able to travel safely and calmly with the new ID card issued by the military control committee. It's been a while.Finally entered Zaozi Lane. Dai's Garden is not far away.Despite his eagerness to pay homage to Mr. Dai, Li Hanzhang has been working as a spy for so many years, no matter how urgent the situation is, he will not lose his mind, and still subconsciously maintain the minimum vigilance. Having seen the courtyard wall of Dai's garden, Li Hanzhang stopped.From a distance, he saw a group of PLA soldiers armed with live ammunition patrolling back and forth in the Zaozi Alley in front of Dai's garden gate. Li Hanzhang immediately judged that the military control committee sent so many troops, probably not only to protect Dai's garden, but to set up a net, waiting for the people who came to visit here to throw themselves into the net.After all, Mr. Dai has been a member of the National Government and the president of the Examination Institute since he was the secretary of the entourage of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country, and he has worked in this position for 20 years. Mr. Dai's is naturally either prominent or expensive in the national government, and they must all be "big fish" to catch. Sure enough, Li Hanzhang only took a few steps forward, and immediately four PLA soldiers greeted him, shouting sharply, "Stop, what are you doing?" "Comrade, let's go home and pass by here." After Li Hanzhang experienced several interrogations by the People's Liberation Army, the word "comrade" was as easy as "sir" in his mouth.He replied, and before the four soldiers asked for it, he took out his ID card in a timely manner and handed it over. A soldier stood his spear on the ground, took a few glances at the ID card, and then aimed his eyes at Zhou Yungang who was following Li Hanzhang. "Comrade, this is my buddy, take care of me." Li Hanzhang said, winked at Zhou Yungang, and then suddenly spoke to him, "When I met the comrades of the People's Liberation Army, why didn't I even say a word? How do I educate him? Yours? You ate all the wine and meat? Comrades from the People’s Liberation Army, in order to protect the social security of our Chengdu, you work so hard every day, why are you so stupid that you don’t even have a word of gratitude?” Zhou Yungang hurriedly bowed his waist and bowed to the four soldiers: "The commander of the People's Liberation Army has worked hard, liberate..." "Called 'Comrade'! How many times have I taught you? I can't even remember this!" After Li Hanzhang scolded Zhou Yungang in a serious manner, he turned his face to the soldier of the People's Liberation Army who was still holding his ID card, bent down and said , "Comrade, don't be as knowledgeable as a servant, he is a rude man, ignorant, and stupid..." Before Li Hanzhang finished speaking, he was interrupted by the PLA soldier: "Okay, okay. Now it's a new society, and everyone is equal. You have to change your old thinking, don't open your mouth and keep your mouth shut. , Those are the stereotypes and bad habits of the old society! It’s getting late, you should go home quickly, the city gate will be closed in a while, and you will have to stay in a hotel.” After speaking, he returned his ID card to Li Hanzhang. "Yes! Let's leave now." Li Hanzhang took the ID card, carefully kept it, and hurriedly led Zhou Yungang to the depths of Zaozi Alley. When passing by the gate of Dai's garden, Li Hanzhang slowed down.On both sides of the gate stood two soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, with their guns erected, standing straight.He knew that the wish to go to the garden to pay homage to his teacher had completely become an eternal wish at this time.He sighed secretly, craned his neck, and glanced into the gate as far as he could. The screen wall facing the door of the Dai family garden and the winter canopy protruding from the screen wall cover everything in the garden.Li Hanzhang didn't see anything, but took everything into his heart. After hurriedly walking out of Zaozi Alley and back to the Xinximen of Chengdu City, Li Hanzhang found a secluded place under the city wall that was covered with withered grass and rubble. The unopened "Longma" brand cigarettes were taken out one by one and placed on the handkerchief.More than ten years have passed, and the twenty cigarettes have become moldy lumps. Li Hanzhang carefully picked them up one by one and arranged them. Then he took out the Luzhou Laojiao he bought on the roadside and slowly poured them on He lit up the cigarettes, then took out the match and lit it. First a blue flame of alcohol, then black smoke from burning cigarettes and silk handkerchiefs... Thinking of Mr. Dai's lifelong habit of smoking and drinking, Li Hanzhang knelt down slowly with tears streaming down his face amidst the smell of smoke and wine. Zhou Yungang, who has always been ignorant, has never seen his chief shed tears so sadly.He really wanted to know what Li Hanzhang meant by doing this, but he had been used to it for many years, and he didn't ask too many questions about the officer, let alone asking random questions. Therefore, while he was silently paying attention to Li Hanzhang, the only thing he could do was put his hand into his shirt, He pressed the handle of the gun tightly and looked around vigilantly. After finishing everything that should be done, Li Hanzhang stood up, sighed a long time, and then told Zhou Yungang: "It's getting late, you go to a butcher shop to buy some food and a jar of wine. I'll call A rickshaw." When Li Hanzhang and Zhou Yungang returned to the house by the Jinjiang River in a rickshaw, Jiang Huiqi was wandering around the house anxiously like an old professor who had lost his glasses.Seeing that the two of them came back safe and sound, they rushed up to meet them.Li Hanzhang and Zhou Yungang didn't say what they were doing this trip, and Jiang Huiqi didn't ask much, but just touched his big nose and said, "Didn't you say curfew? It's so late, why did you come back?" "The curfew means guarding the city gates and those 'openings', prohibiting citizens from leaving the city and entering the city. People can still walk around in the city." Bao couple's lung slices and a jar of wine were placed on the rosewood table in the room. Since Li Hanzhang entered the room, he didn't say a word, sitting beside the rosewood table, smoking one cigarette after another. There were only three of them in the room, so quiet that each could hear each other's breathing. After smoking a few cigarettes, Li Hanzhang stood up abruptly, pulled out the cork from the wine jar, spread out three tea bowls one by one, filled up the wine, then picked up a tea bowl and said, "Two brothers, follow Han Zhang. After so many years of life and death, Hanzhang can't thank you, this bowl of wine is my brother's wish at this time!" After finishing speaking, he downed the bowl of wine in his hand in one gulp. Before making that deal just now, Li Hanzhang had already spoken his words thoroughly.Now that he said these words again, Jiang Huiqi and Zhou Yungang certainly understood what he meant. "I see, this wine is the breakup wine arranged by the director, I won't drink it!" Zhou Yungang stretched out his hand suddenly, and pushed the teacup in front of him away.The wine in the bowl was shaking, and more than half of it was spilled. Jiang Huiqi didn't say anything, just kept touching his big nose, and stood there motionless looking at the two of them. Li Hanzhang didn't talk to him either, and then spread out the seven hundred silver dollars and ten million yuan that were left after giving it to Lao Tai on the rosewood square table, and silently began to pile up.Li Hanzhang did not count the silver dollars one by one, nor did he count the renminbi in bundles. He just roughly pulled them apart and divided them into three parts of about the same size. A feast that will never end. Brothers, take care of each other!" With a "crash", Zhou Yungang pushed the pile of money closest to him back to Li Hanzhang, and punched the square table.A stream of bright red blood slowly trickled down the corner of the square table.Zhou Yungang stared at Li Hanzhang, gritted his teeth and said, "Director, let me follow you." "No, don't you see the current situation? The three of us nest together, the goal is too big, and we will die sooner or later. If this continues, none of us will survive. Yun Gang, you have a straight temper, and you will act alone in the future. You must think twice." As Li Hanzhang said, he pushed the money in front of Zhou Yungang again, and stared at Zhou Yungang's gaze, with an expression that cannot be doubted! "Director, it's been so many years... After we separate, who will take care of you? Even if I die, I want to die with you. No matter what happens in the future, I don't regret it!" When Zhou Yungang said these words, Li Hanzhang and Jiang Huiqi saw that his eyes were red, with tears rolling in his eyes.Since he followed Li Hanzhang, this was the first time they saw the irritable and upright Zhou Yungang cry. "Don't say anything more. Yun Gang, if you really still treat me as your chief..." Li Hanzhang suddenly turned cold when he said this, and stood up: "Order: According to the current situation, Li Hanzhang, Zhou Yungang, Jiang Huiqi Evacuate on the spot! Those who violate the order will be dealt with according to military law!" After scanning Zhou Yungang and Jiang Huiqi, Li Hanzhang sat down again and said in a low voice, "This is probably the last time I give you an order..." Zhou Yungang saw Li Hanzhang's actions and knew that the fact that the three of them broke up could not be changed, so he had to wipe away the tears that gushed out, picked up half a bowl of wine, and drank it down in one gulp. Ever since Li Hanzhang said that the three of them wanted to "separate their actions", Jiang Huiqi remained silent.He just silently watched the dispute between Li Hanzhang and Zhou Yungang, and at the same time separated more than half of the bullets on his body and put them next to the pile of coins belonging to Li Hanzhang, and then put the two sets of casual clothes he brought into Li Hanzhang's package inside.When Li Hanzhang offered him his own share of silver dollars and RMB, he did not refuse. After Li Hanzhang forced Zhou Yungang to agree to the plan of evacuating separately in the form of an "executive order", he took the photo of himself and Ke Zhen. Come out and put it on the silver dollar.After Zhou Yungang drank the wine, he glanced at Li Hanzhang, then stared at the photo and said, "As long as I live, I will find the young master. Director, we will definitely meet one day!" After finishing speaking, he said He grabbed the photo and the silver dollar in front of him.In order to prevent the silver dollars from colliding and making noise when walking, he put the silver dollars wrapped into cylinders with yellow paper into two pockets sewn on his underwear, tied them tightly around his waist, and put on a small Jacket.In this way, it is impossible to see from the outside that he has so many silver dollars on his body.Then, he also tied up Li Hanzhang's silver dollars in two bags. After putting a few bundles of RMB that belonged to him in a big bag, Jiang Huiqi picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp, then touched his big nose, let out a long breath, put his feet together, He gave a military salute to Li Hanzhang with a "snap", shut his mouth tightly, turned around and went downstairs. The moment Li Hanzhang saw Jiang Huiqi turn around and leave, his eyes were red. Li Hanzhang sighed, and then glanced at Zhou Yungang who was still standing beside him.That look was as sharp as a knife, and Zhou Yungang didn't dare to look at it. Zhou Yungang kicked the leg of the rosewood square table with a "bang", his lips and hands were trembling.He grabbed the silver dollars, put them in a messy pocket sewn into his underwear roughly according to the way Jiang Huiqi hid the silver dollars just now, then stuffed the RMB into the cloth bag on his shoulders, stood up abruptly, and turned around. body, went downstairs. After the two left, Li Hanzhang sat alone in the house he had personally built, looking at the silver dollars, banknotes and weapons on the table, until midnight, still sitting like that...
