Chapter 10 Chapter 7 Murder

Of course Li Hanzhang knew that the city wall of Chengdu he saw at this moment was a hundred times more dilapidated than the city wall of Chengdu seen by Zhang Maoji.During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, although Chongqing was the wartime capital, Chengdu was the nearest provincial capital. Therefore, Li Hanzhang could not stop visiting Chengdu several times a year.At that time, the city wall of Chengdu he saw was already in ruins.During the Japanese air raids, in order to facilitate the evacuation and escape of citizens, the national government not only demolished all the city gates, but also opened many new "openings" around the city wall. pregnancy".But at this time, inside and outside the "City of the King of Shu", it was already the time of breakfast when the "cooking smoke was horizontal".After the People's Liberation Army stationed in Chengdu, the military control committee played a series of "combined punches" to stabilize the current situation. In the morning in Chengdu, there was already a bit of peace and tranquility in the world.

Li Hanzhang came to Chengdu with the hope of fleeing to Taiwan during the chaotic retreat. At that time, he was very clear about his whereabouts.Unexpectedly, in less than a month, everything has been turned upside down.Now, when he left Chengdu, he still fled desperately, but he didn't know if Burma in Yunnan was the post station for him to go to Taiwan.Even so, Li Hanzhang is still looking forward to arriving in Yunnan tomorrow, and then crossing the border to Myanmar.So, out of the "hole", he hurriedly walked on the official road to Longquanyi with his head sullen. With the "talisman" with the seal of the Military Control Commission in his pocket, Li Hanzhang no longer has to hide in Tibet like he did a few days ago.At this moment, he was wearing a white kerchief and a bunt. He really looked like a trader, walking down the official road in a down-to-earth manner, doing those most legitimate livelihoods.But after all, he is not a vendor selling ironware and Baiyao in Sichuan and Yunnan, but a highly educated person. Therefore, when no one is around, he will look at the surrounding scenery with the eyes of a scholar, and silently sing a few words in his heart. A sentence of bamboo and branch words, borrowing things to feel emotional.

On the official road to Longquanyi, the bomb craters that were blown out during the war have been repaired, and the sand and gravel that filled those potholes are still new and fluffy, and many of them have not been compacted by the feet of passers-by.There were two deep ruts in the middle of the road. Li Hanzhang speculated that they were left by the chariots of the People's Liberation Army. Looking at these blurred ruts, Li Hanzhang felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart: more than a month ago, he had a special car, a dedicated driver and guards, but now he can only walk on two feet, and he still wants to die.Walking alone on the road, Li Hanzhang thought of his family background.

His grandfather was not only a Jinshi in the former Qing Dynasty, but also a hand-picked scholar of the Imperial Academy. After the reform and reform, he returned to Chongqing from Beijing to run a school and a medical center.And Li Hanzhang's father was sent to study in Japan by his grandfather when Li Hanzhang didn't remember much. Therefore, Li Hanzhang has been living with his grandfather.At that time, he was either in the school or in the medical clinic.Since he was a child, he thought that when he grew up, he would either be a teacher of teaching or a doctor of medical treatment.Who knows that people in this life are not always able to draw a straight line on rice paper for their future path as they did when they were young. If so, Li Hanzhang might not go to the School of Political Science and Law, Whampoa Military Academy, let alone Joining the Zhongtong, naturally, there will be no days of running around like this.

Before, I had no time and no mood to sort out these fateful entanglements, but now, walking alone on the official road shrouded in thick fog in the morning, Li Hanzhang finally had time to think about these issues like peeling bamboo shoots up.However, the more he thought about it, the more depressed and lonely he felt. From Chengdu to Longquanyi, there are mostly dense original ecological forests along the way. Years of wars have not caused major damage to these vegetation.The road passed through the woods and entered a moso bamboo forest that covered the sky and the sun.The air was filled with the fragrance of bamboo leaves, Li Hanzhang took a deep breath, and continued to turn those old things like a mill.

As soon as he reached the middle of the moso bamboo forest, a short young man pushed a rooster cart to catch up. When he passed by Li Hanzhang, he turned his head and said, "Brother, is there any fire?" Maybe people on the road want to have a fellow traveler, so that talking and laughing along the way will not be tiring.Li Hanzhang knew that he was also lonely on the road, and wanted to talk to himself, so he lent him the fire, and the two of them rested, leaning on the short young man's chicken bus to smoke. The rooster cart is a kind of unicycle, shaped like a rooster, with one wheel in the front and two handles in the back.Li Hanzhang smoked a pot of tobacco and knocked the ashes out on the handlebar of the chicken bus. While continuing to fill the pot with shredded tobacco, he looked at the bulging linen pockets on the left and right sides of the chicken bus and asked: "What good business does brother do?"

The short man squatted on the ground, looked up at his car and said, "Brother, he is in business, and he regards all men in the world as businessmen. The people who come and go on the road are all businessmen." Yes?" Li Hanzhang was startled, and asked him: "Then... brother, what do you do?" "I just got out of prison a few days ago, and now I have to go home." The short young man looked at Li Hanzhang and said, "In April, I went to Sichuan University to send money and food to our young master. Their dormitory was surrounded, everyone in the dormitory was arrested, and I couldn't escape."

Hearing the short young man's words, Li Hanzhang was taken aback, but his expression immediately returned to normal.He knew that from the beginning of the 1960s of the Republic of China, whether it was the military or the central government, they had focused their energy on arresting the Communist Party members, and he re-emphasized that when President Jiang purged the party, he would "rather kill a thousand by mistake and decide to kill a thousand." Don't let go of a "big net, so it was quite normal for this short young man to be arrested at that time.Although Li Hanzhang understood what was going on in his heart, he still asked in surprise, "Where did those bastard sons take you?"

"At that time, I didn't even know where I was locked up. Now that I came out, I found out that the place where I was locked up was the Jiangjun Yamen Provincial Special Committee Prison." The short young man really looked like he just got out of prison, and he couldn't wait to live his addiction.Li Hanzhang watched him smoke endlessly, and knew that he could not leave for the time being, so he continued to discuss this issue with the short man, and then asked, "Ge Laozi, isn't this arresting innocent people indiscriminately? Why are they arresting you?" The short young man smiled and said, "I didn't know it when I was arrested, but I knew it when I came out. I was interrogated by spies, some asked, some wrote, and there were gendarmes with guns standing at the door. The spies wanted me to explain." Rape activities', how do I know what a traitor is? Let them ask, just say they don't know. They asked me again, "Have you participated in the Respect for Teachers movement?" I thought, what's wrong with respecting teachers? It's a pity that I I don't know anyone, and I don't have a teacher. They still don't believe that they have arrested the wrong person, and they say, "If you don't explain your organizational relationship, you will be escorted to the lotus pond to be shot." I am not afraid of my brother's jokes. When I heard that I was going to be shot, I would Terrified to death, I cried and made noises, saying that I really came to deliver money and food to the young master. Afterwards, no one asked me, and kept me locked up and never let me go. When I was released, the young master saw that I was still locked up, I went to find someone and interceded with them. But the turtle sons said, I am not a college student, so I am a messenger. As a result, I have been locked up for no reason. Fortunately, the People’s Liberation Army came and the turtle sons were driven away Now, I can finally go home. Otherwise, I don’t know if I can keep my head. Brother, how do you know, those bastard sons, when they kill people, they don’t even blink their eyes. There is no reason... "

Li Hanzhang couldn't listen to what the short young man said behind him, and he felt that he was the one who scolded the young man through gritted teeth.Listen, listen, I don't know when, sweat oozes from my forehead, and my calves seem to be cramping... The short young man and Li Hanzhang formed a Longmen formation, as if he had been imprisoned for too long and was suffocated. Now that he had a chance to speak, he couldn't stop talking when he caught someone.Seeing the sun flickering to the southwest, and it was already time for lunch, Li Hanzhang's stomach was growling, but the young man was still smoking the pot endlessly, chatting with Li Hanzhang endlessly. gossip.Li Hanzhang was in a hurry to hurry, but he couldn't refute the little brother's face, so he had to insist on chatting with him.

Bamboo leaves in winter have already turned dark green after severe frost.The tall moso bamboos slanted towards the road at the upper half of the waist, and when the two sides were placed in the middle, the bamboo branches and bamboo leaves were gathered together, making this narrow and long path a culvert-like passage.When he first walked into the bamboo forest, this "green culvert" built by the bamboo forest made Li Hanzhang feel poetic and picturesque, but at this moment, he felt a little uneasy for no reason. The short young man was still happily talking about his being arrested and released, as if this time the suffering in prison was his glorious experience.Li Hanzhang started to get tired of listening, and his stomach was already empty, he gradually felt a little dazed and sleepy.But the short young man pushing the chicken bus was still talking about him.Finally, Li Hanzhang couldn't hold it anymore, and his eyelids started to fight. He simply leaned on the chicken bus, intending to take a nap amidst the young man's nagging. Soon the short young man's voice became farther and farther away... "Director Li! We meet again!" Li Hanzhang was dozing off when someone patted him on the shoulder unexpectedly.He raised his eyes and jumped up in shock: the person standing in front of him was actually Gou Peide!At this moment, the short young man stopped talking so much, he took out a pistol from under the sack on the chicken bus, and pressed it against Li Hanzhang's back! "Director, my subordinates guessed that you would leave Chengdu and fly far away, so I came here specially to ask the director to go back. I have already taken care of the director for the Communist Party. They promised me that as long as the director is invited back, they will not blame the past. You just need to be obedient Go back with me, and I promise I won’t suffer any losses. I will take care of my brothers, and I won’t be imprisoned..." Gou Peide didn’t point a weapon at Li Hanzhang. He took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Li Hanzhang. It wasn't until this time that Li Hanzhang finally concluded that Gou Peide had not only voted for the Communist Party, but also confessed himself. Because the muzzle of the short young man's gun was on his back, Li Hanzhang didn't dare to make a move for the time being. He took the cigarette as if nothing had happened, and said to Gou Peide: "Your surname is Gou, this is how you treat the officer? Why don't you let this Put the gun away, son of a turtle!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned his head away, and scolded the short young man again, "It's a good thing that I believed your words just now, and I have been with you for a long time. It turns out that you are You are setting up a ecstasy array for me, delaying time!" "Brother used to make a living in the military command. I just said so much nonsense, there is nothing I can do. I was ordered to drag you, wait for Captain Gou to come, and invite you back in person." The short young man seemed to be a different person at this time, He is no longer the swearing culprit just now. "You're so disrespectful to the director, what are you talking about? Put the gun away!" Gou Peide scolded the short young man, then squeezed his nose and eyes, and changed into a flattering expression like a villain. Li Hanzhang said: "The CCP did not have a stable foothold, so it had to adopt the expedient measure of 'using bandits to control bandits'. Brothers also took this opportunity to find a way out for the former brothers. I am just messing around with the CCP. Food and drink, the Communist Party treated me well, and gave me a position as the deputy captain of the defense team..." "Hey... I'm afraid you, Wusha, the vice captain, came here to invite credit after betraying the brothers one by one?" Li Hanzhang couldn't listen anymore, and choked on Gou Peide. There was no trace of shyness on Gou Peide's face.Now that Li Hanzhang had already said what he said, he had nothing to hide, so he simply poured beans into the bamboo tube and said happily: "Director, don't be so shabby to me. Who doesn't know that you are an important member of the Central Committee and a new editor?" Director of the Political Department of Major General of the First Army, what kind of people are lurking in the entire southwest area, don’t you just pretend to be in your head? In the hands of the Communist Party, this is a trump card. After I was arrested by the Communist Party, I completely figured it out Damn, this life is not sold to anyone. Director, to tell you the truth, when I was just arrested, I saw you brushing slogans on the street, and I wanted to take you along. How do you know? When you touched your waist, I was taken aback, and I didn't dare to act rashly. However, since then, I have been targeting you. After a lot of effort, I finally found the inn where you stayed in Xiaotong Lane , I was about to bring the Communist Party directly to invite you over, but I didn’t expect you to leave before dawn. Brother, I immediately asked my superiors and arranged for people to wait on several official roads nearby. Fortunately, I cast a net, I didn't fail, I waited for you here. Director, as long as you go back with me, it will be good for you and me..." "I'm afraid you are eager to claim credit and want to put my fish on the cutting board of the Communist Party." Li Hanzhang looked at the sky with cold eyes, and after watching Gou Peide's performance, he spoke out the little things in his heart. "Director, brother, I don't mean to harm you, otherwise, I wouldn't let this brother drag you first, and then go to the meeting alone. It's not that I don't know your kung fu, director. If I really want to catch you When you go back, when you hear the news from them, don’t you report it immediately? Not to mention that the People’s Liberation Army drove over directly, I’ll bring a few more people myself, right? I didn’t do this, I just missed the old love and respected you as an officer Go!" Li Hanzhang believed that Gou Peide's words were partly sincere.Because when he was just awakened, he immediately observed it based on years of experience and intuition, and knew that Goupide did not bring anyone else.But he still gave Gou Peide a look of contempt, and said to him: "Pede, oh, now it's time to call you Gou Duifu. Yes, you found me and didn't inform the Communist Party. There are old feelings in it, but it doesn't rule out that you have Have you personally caught my greed for asking for credit and rewards? You used to be living on the salary of the party and the state to make your own calculations, but now you are living on the salary of the Communist Party and still thinking about your own calculations. It’s hard to change your nature! The Communist Party gave you Wusha, the vice-captain, and that was your good fortune. It’s a pity, my brother, that I don’t have that kind of good luck. If you still miss the old relationship, we’ll go our separate ways..." "Stop the fucking nonsense, just say go or not go?" The short young man from the military commander was obviously impatient, and pointed his gun at Li Hanzhang again, and this time, he directly pointed the gun at Li Hanzhang's body On the forehead! At that time, Li Hanzhang was also carrying a gun. One was his standard American-made Colt M1911A1 pistol, which was hidden in the belt on his back, and it was placed next to the cockroach at the moment; It is the revolver hidden in the sleeve cage on the left, which can be taken out at any time, so that the guy who doesn't know the three eyes of Lord Ma's head will bloom.Naturally, Gou Peide understood this very well, so he tried so hard to persuade him to surrender.Although Li Hanzhang understood that with his own skills, it would be a matter of flicking his wrists to subdue these two idiots, but at this moment, the most urgent thing was not to deal with Gou Peide, but to leave Chengdu and go straight to Myanmar on the Yunnan side.Li Hanzhang didn't want to lose the big because of small things, but in a short time, he couldn't think of a way out of the predicament. Just as they were in such a stalemate, suddenly, there was a "bang" gunshot, and the short young man didn't even have time to hum, the skylight opened on his forehead, and he fell on his back, with dirty blood gushing out.Gou Peide stared at Li Hanzhang, neither of them moved: Obviously, this shot came from the bamboo forest! There are people ambushing nearby, and they are Li Hanzhang's people! Gou Peide was stunned for a moment, glanced left and right at the dense bamboo forests on both sides of the path, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and before he had time to say another word, he turned around quickly and fled.But before he raised his foot, another round of bullets shot out from nowhere, chasing after his heels.The road surface was hit by the bullets that hit it, and there was a cloud of smoke and dust. Gou Peide's face changed greatly in fright, his feet jumped wildly, and he quickly headed towards Chengdu, and disappeared without a trace like a rabbit. Li Hanzhang was also stunned for a moment.He listened for a while in silence, trying to figure out the source of the gunfire.But when the incident happened suddenly, he stood there and observed calmly for a long time, but he couldn't figure out which gap in the bamboo forest these shots came from. Relying on his own rough judgment of the bullet's shooting direction, Li Hanzhang went into the bamboo forest to search for a while, and sure enough, he found several carbine shell casings, and a few footprints that could be vaguely seen on the thick dead leaves.But if you search carefully, you won't find anything. In the bamboo forest in the deep winter, a gust of wind blows past, rustling. Who on earth saved him? After the sudden change just now, Li Hanzhang realized that his situation was very dangerous.Without thinking about it, he quickly got out of the bamboo forest, bent down and rummaged through the two bags on the rooster cart.Seeing that there was nothing in the bag except straw, Li Hanzhang had no choice but to glance at the short man lying on his back by the side of the road, and picked up his pistol that was still on his forehead just now. , took two long legs, and ran towards Longquanyi... At the speed of Li Hanzhang, it only took half a day to walk from Chengdu to Longquanyi, but was so delayed by the short young man who lost his life and Gou Peide, especially the false alarm just now, Li Hanzhang had to bypass the official road, Take the trails that are barely traveled.Therefore, when he arrived at Longquanyi, it was already pitch black. At this moment, Li Hanzhang understood that not only was Gou Peide eager to claim credit, but he was always staring at him; if Gou Peide really betrayed his identity to the Communist Party, then undoubtedly, the People's Liberation Army would arrest him everywhere.Therefore, when he arrived at Longquanyi, Li Hanzhang wandered around for a long time before finding an inconspicuous small inn in a remote alley and staying there. The proprietress of the inn is a woman in her twenties, tall and thin, with a long face, wearing a faded silk jacket, her face is covered with makeup, she seems to have just finished filming a monthly advertisement and has not had time to remove her makeup.Li Hanzhang took a look at her, he couldn't understand that she looked like Miss Jiyue, but he felt familiar.Seeing Li Hanzhang coming in, the young proprietress looked him up and down, "hummed", curled her lips and called, "Li Zhuanyun, lead him to the back." After speaking, she continued to sit at the counter with an oven cage in her arms Tea later. Li Hanzhang took a look, the back of the shop was pitch black. The little girl named Li Zhuanyun came over with a lantern and said to Li Hanzhang, "Come with me." After walking a few steps, Li Hanzhang was a little worried. After thinking about it, he casually chatted up with Li Zhuanyun: "I didn't expect that there is such a coquettish proprietress in the store. Hehe, do you still do other jobs?" "Guest officer, don't think in a wrong way, what we do here is a legitimate business." Xiaoer turned around and said loudly, staring at the direction of the counter while talking.After finishing speaking, he pouted, turned his head and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, turned two corners, and led Li Hanzhang into a small dark room, and saw that Li Hanzhang had put the back strap on the ground, and finally He whispered: "That woman is the concubine of an important member of the national army. She doesn't know whether the man died or ran away. Her life is not settled. She came to be with Master Chun." Li Hanzhang said "Oh", he knew that the "Master Chun" Xiaoer mentioned was the helm of the Longquanyi elder brother's club, but he didn't know who he was referring to by the "key member of the national army". Xiaoer put the lantern on the table, leaned close to Li Hanzhang, stared and said, "Damn woman, you came here to steal my food for no reason. If it wasn't for Master Chun's sake, I would have reported her long ago." Li Hanzhang understood. It turned out that this shop was managed by Master Chun, the helmsman of the second gang, and this woman became the proprietress after she joined the helmsman.Xiao Er was not reconciled, but he had no choice but to say a few harsh words to vent his anger. Li Hanzhang ordered some food casually, filled his stomach hastily, and then took a picture of Dayang in the second-hand shop of the shop and said, "Brother, my brother's legs are about to break when he walks, you can take care of him at night." Son. If there are guest officials staying in the hotel again, try to take them to a guest room as far away as possible, so as not to disturb my sleep. I have slept well, and I have to go a long way tomorrow... You call me at five o'clock, do you want it? " "Yes, yes, don't worry, brother, I will take care of it for you, and I will call you on time!" The little second called Li Zhuanyun took the silver dollar with both hands, blew in a puff, and listened to it. Listen, the nose and eyes are crowded together with joy. After meeting Gou Peide in the bamboo grove during the day, Li Hanzhang couldn't sleep because he tossed and turned in bed at night.Based on his understanding of Gou Peide, it can be fully judged that this kind of snobbery, greedy and lustful will never let it go.Judging from Gou Peide's words during the day, he is undoubtedly a registered "big fish". Therefore, since Gou Peide, who is eager to claim credit, has voted for the communist party, he definitely hopes to catch more and bigger "fish" in order to He made more capital from the Communist Party.Thinking of this, Li Hanzhang still dare not take off his clothes or close his eyes in this humble and remote shop. To be honest, with the certificate and the original ID card, Li Hanzhang is no longer afraid of being interrogated.What he is most worried about now is those who used to be himself, especially his old colleagues who have worked with him and know him.In the past, the most direct and effective way for them to deal with the Communists was to torture them, coerce and lure them, first subdue the captured Communists, make them surrender, and then use them to arrest other Communists.At that time, they called it "controlling bandits with bandits".From Wang Xinfa who met in Yiguanmiao and Gou Peide who met today, Li Hanzhang already knew that the Communist Party is now "treating others in the same way" and is using this trick to deal with them.From this point of view, on my journey to Yunnan, the most terrifying people are not only the Communist Party, but also those "brothers" like Gou Peide. Another reason that makes it difficult for him to sleep is that at the critical moment when the gun was held against him, who shot and saved him?Judging from the shell casings found in the bamboo forest, they were carbine bullets that were common in various systems of the national army at that time.Therefore, he thought about it, and he didn't think about who the person who came out to save him was. If it was in Chongqing, Li Hanzhang would not be surprised if someone secretly rescued him like this, because that is the site where he has managed contacts for many years; but now it is in Chengdu, and it is in the wilderness so far away from Chengdu city, who is it? Director of this "Wild Boar Forest", who is the "Flower Monk" who rescued him, "Lin Chong"?Li Hanzhang couldn't understand it. However, in any case, the person who can rescue him at such a critical moment must have great courage.Li Hanzhang thought, don't say thank you for your kindness, no matter who saved you, if you encounter him in the future, let's talk about how to repay him. After thinking clearly about this problem, Li Hanzhang did the math. He only walked more than 70 miles today. With this speed, when will he be able to reach Yunnan?He was a little discouraged at first, but then he changed his mind and thought about how long it would take to go to Dazu and Yunnan, and he didn't know how many days it would take to walk, let alone what more difficult troubles he would encounter on the road. , I started to walk and almost exhausted my physical strength, wouldn't it be worse if I couldn't walk later?So, in order to have the energy to go on the road tomorrow, he forced himself to sleep well first no matter what.Thinking of this, he blew out the oil lamp left by Xiao Er, put the Colt pistol under the pillow, the six-shot revolver in his leggings, and the Browning pistol he handed over during the day in a handy On the right side of the bed, then close your eyes and prepare for a good rest. Years of complicated experiences allowed Li Hanzhang to practice the kung fu of dreaming while walking as long as he wanted to sleep. Therefore, as soon as this idea flashed out to him, he immediately shut down all distracting thoughts and began to meditate. snore... "Bang bang!" Li Hanzhang felt that he had just closed his eyes when he was awakened by a knock on the door.He subconsciously grabbed the Browning that had been on his right hand all the time, turned over and sat up! "Brother, it's five o'clock." The shop waiter heard the movement and shouted outside the door.Only then did Li Hanzhang remember that last night he told the waiter named Li Zhuanyun to wake him up at five o'clock, and he had to leave early. Li Hanzhang hid the three guns separately in the guest room, tidied them up, put on the straps on his back, and opened the door—the moment he opened the door, he froze! Under the light of a few wind lanterns, Li Hanzhang saw at least twenty men standing outside the door on two sides. An old man in his sixties stood in the middle, wearing a silk padded robe and wearing a He wears a fox fur hat, his face is black and rosy, and he has a thin and upside-down gourd face; his eyes are not big, but they look like a fish tank with a tadpole alone, hanging from one side to the other under his forehead; There are two mustaches on the left and right, thick and long, with curved hooks, as if waiting for the pair of tadpoles in the fish tank. Li Hanzhang immediately concluded that the upside-down gourd face was undoubtedly their leader, that is, Master Chun who was next to the proprietress of the inn.Seeing Master Chun staring at him with bright eyes while wiping his beard slowly, Li Hanzhang had no intention of opening his mouth at all, so Li Hanzhang had no choice but to use Brother Pao's incision to get close to them: "Oh, good morning everyone. I think Is this Master Chun, the helmsman of Longquanyi? The younger brother is also a "seaman" (colloquial: has the status of Paoge), and broke into Chunye's "wharf" (colloquial: site) today, because he was in a hurry, he didn't care I have to go up to worship Chunye's hall, and I can't afford to ask Chunye to bring so many people to "make a hole" (in slang: guard guard). Brother is just a "beggar" (in slang: beggar), but Lao Chun Grandpa is here in person, what orders do you have?" Hearing Li Hanzhang's words with his face upside down, he was taken aback.Not only was he taken aback, but the twenty or so men beside him also panicked, and they didn't calm down until they turned their heads upside down and glared at them. "Brother has good eyesight. Now that you recognize me, let's talk in the room, talk in the room." The words of the upside-down gourd face not only admitted that he was the helmsman of the Longquanyi Ge Laohui, but also eased the atmosphere on the spot.Li Hanzhang didn't say any more polite words, turned around and entered the room. In addition to Mr. Chun, those who followed Li Hanzhang into the house were two tall and strong men, one on the left and the other on the right. After entering the room, he sat down, and before he could say a word, Master Chun waved his hand.In the blink of an eye, the waiter who called the door just now came in with a tray, and put a jar of old wine, four dishes, two thick porcelain bowls, and two pairs of chopsticks on the table. "As soon as my brother opened his mouth, I knew that brother was not a 'Kongzi' (in slang: not a member of the gang), let alone a 'Sang Maozi' (in slang: someone who doesn't understand Paoge's rules). Since we have all burnt the 'three The person who puts Banxiang' (the pronoun of Paoge’s gang regulations and rules) is his brother. The brother learned that the brother had to get up early, so he came here to see him off. "Everything is settled. , Master Chun wiped his mustache, filled two bowls with wine, and then spoke, "Brother is in a hurry, there must be something urgent, my brother came at a bad time, I have wronged you." Li Hanzhang couldn't understand why Master Chun received him with such a grand etiquette, so he had to go around in circles with Master Chun: "Brother is just a 'beggar', and you can't bear the burden of being a boss." "Brother, brother, I treat guests sincerely. Brother Pao is talking about friendship and righteousness, not enmity. Brother, brother, I just want to ask you a question: Do you want to give Xiaoer a 'begging point' if you make a move?" ? Brother, if you continue to 'scramble the pot' with your elder brother (black words: just kidding), it will be equivalent to blocking your brother's 'piao'er (black words: mouth)." When Master Chun heard that Li Hanzhang was still playing sloppy with him, he was a little unhappy , There was a sense of threat in the words. Li Hanzhang thought, if they wanted to hurt themselves intentionally, wouldn't they be able to finish all the work after a long night?It seems that Master Chun and his group are not malicious to him for the time being.Li Hanzhang still knows how capable the helmsmen of the various halls of the Gelaohui are.Therefore, I simply stopped going around in circles, and said proudly: "Brother Pao under heaven is a family. Since Master Chun thinks highly of brother so much, brother will tell the truth. I am going out this time to 'avoid the arrogance' (in jargon: Brother Pao committed a crime and fled abroad) ), I’m going to Yunnan. Passing by Mr. Chun’s ‘wharf’, I hope you can take care of me.” "Hahahaha... Now it's the right thing. Whether it's because of the Kuomintang's 'avoidance' or the Communist Party's 'avoidance', it's all about Brother Pao's own family. To be honest, when I see my brother's demeanor I know, regardless of whether your surname is 'Gong' or 'surname Jiang', you must be Pao Ge who eats official meals. Unlike the one who came here two days ago called..." As he spoke, he glanced at the person standing on the left.The man bent down and said, "Gopeide." "Yes, that's the name. This 'Sea Chizi' named Gou Peide dared to 'wear a black robe' in front of Master Chun and me (in black words: pretending to be Brother Pao). Once the two sentences were combined, I knew he was 'Kong Zi'." But he is a member of the government, and we, Brother Pao, don’t have to go against him. Besides, this vice-captain Hangou is just here to find out if a few people have lived here, not to make trouble. Now, when it’s done, send it off with a smile on your face. We don’t want to be enmity or enmity…” Seeing that Li Hanzhang had told the truth, Master Chun burst out laughing.Then, picking up the wine bowl, he began to respect Li Hanzhang. When Li Hanzhang heard that Master Chun said that Gou Peide had also been here two days ago, he was secretly surprised, but on the surface he remained calm, and while drinking with Master Chun, he echoed Master Chun's words: "Brother Pao can marry thousands of people. Chun Master is indeed the dragon god of the Pao family, with such great wisdom and connections to the sky, he must have won over the mountain in the Chuankang area." "There is no other way. Brother Pao's family has the rules of Brother Pao's family. When 'Sea Wings' come to the door, they should be polite and not cause trouble." Master Chun spoke more casually after drinking a bowl of wine.But what is said in Jianghu is that "heroes don't ask where they come from", so he didn't care if Li Hanzhang was "avoiding heroes" because of some gods, and he didn't even ask Li Hanzhang's name from the beginning to the end. Greet Li Hanzhang for a drink. During the process of the two of them pushing cups and changing cups, Li Hanzhang heard a lot of news from Mr. Chun. He knew that within a few days after the People's Liberation Army took control of Chengdu, he called together the helmsmen from all the elders' associations near Chengdu. It is said to be learning the new policies of the new society, but in fact it is to understand the situation of various gang organizations near Chengdu, and take the opportunity to warn these "local snakes", asking them to recognize the situation, cooperate with the Military Control Commission, and eliminate the KMT spies and remaining resistance forces.Moreover, Li Hanzhang also learned from Master Chun that the PLA "Sea Chizi" who called them to the meeting was Zhang Zhenzhong, the deputy director of the Public Security Department of the Chengdu Military Control Commission who once had acquaintance with him.Moreover, in Zhang Zhenzhong's list of "important enemy agents" that Chun Ye can remember, there are his three words "Li Hanzhang". These news made Li Hanzhang feel that this place is too close to Chengdu, and Zhang Zhenzhong and Gou Peide may follow them at any time, so they must not stay for a long time. When the jar of wine was almost finished, Master Chun had already praised Li Hanzhang as a Liangshan hero in "Water Margin". Because he belonged to Brother Pao's family, he also knew that Li Hanzhang was "avoiding luxury" and leaving, but he abided by the rules of the world, Li Hanzhang didn't say anything, and he didn't ask too many questions. He just patted his chest and assured that Li Hanzhang would never lose a hair in his "wharf". The wine was almost finished, and the sun jumped over the hill.Li Hanzhang was about to bid farewell to Master Chun and go on the road. He weighed it up and took out the Browning captured yesterday. Li Hanzhang just pulled out the gun, Master Chun and the two men standing on the left and right of him also showed their waists with a "shua" and aimed at Li Hanzhang. "Hahahaha..." Li Hanzhang looked up to the sky and laughed a few times when he saw the situation, and said, "Brother, thanks to the helm, I want to leave a gift of meeting before leaving. This gun is still handy, Wanwang the helm Son, don't be disgusted!" When Master Chun heard this, he immediately put away his old box with a big belly, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Let my brother laugh. Brother, I have been calculated too much by others, so I have to be on guard at all times." A little." Then, staring at the Browning on the table with bright eyes, he continued, "I admire my brother's heroism, so I came here to meet you. I don't have any intention of coveting my brother or anything. Oh." “舵把子这话，就更见外了。你不是说了，天下袍哥是一家吗？像这种东西，对兄弟来说，也只是个玩意儿。这种家伙，舵把子日后若是需要再搞个十支、二十支，以兄弟我的条件，还是可以办到的。”李涵章趁着在气势上压倒了春爷，顺口胡诌了几句，吹起了牛皮。 哪想到，春爷居然还真被这几句话镇住了，忙不迭地把枪拎在手里，再三道谢。作为回报，送李涵章出门时，春爷叫人牵来了一匹棕红色的骡子，送给李涵章，还一路陪着走了二三里地。路上，春爷怕李涵章嫌弃他送的骡子，解释说，驴子有耐力，但跑不快；马呢，跑得虽然快，但是耐力不行。骡子是驴和马配出来的畜牲，有驴和马的特性，跑得快，又有耐力。而且，这匹骡子是“马骡”，也就是说，它的父亲是驴，它的母亲是马。“马骡”要比“驴骡”体格更矫健，外形更像马，也比“驴骡”更聪明、更善解人意。春爷还说，这匹骡子，是他的坐骑，有灵性，关键时刻，能像三国里的的卢灵马救刘备一样，护主。都说好马赠英雄，现在他用好骡子赠英雄，虽说寒碜了些，但对于一个要走远路的人来说，却非常实用！ 和李涵章说完这些，春爷又专门叫来四名手下，交待他们：“把我兄弟送出龙泉驿堂口的地盘，如果他少了半根毫毛，小心你们的脑壳！”
