Chapter 35 chapter 2

Li Zongren asked unwillingly: "You asked me to come out at the beginning for the sake of peace talks. Now that the peace talks have broken down and Nanjing is about to fall, what do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek pretended to be sincere and persuaded: "You continue to lead, I will support you to the end, don't be discouraged!" However, Li Zongren said full of resentment: "If you want me to continue to lead, I can die. But now this kind of government has multiple branches, one country and three publics, no one can do things, how can I lead." Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to repeat: "No matter what, I will support you to the end."

However, after the fall of Nanjing the next day, Li Zongren became a hands-off shopkeeper and flew back to his hometown in Guilin instead of going to Guangzhou as planned.When Chiang Kai-shek returned to Xikou and learned that Nanjing had fallen, Li Zongren shook off his water sleeves, and his heart was suddenly filled with frustration and anger. What he didn't expect was that Zhang Zhizhong didn't want to go back to the south.That evening, when he was sitting silently with his son Jiang Jingguo, Yu Jishi, the head of the attendant office, held an urgent telegram in his hand, and walked over quietly, followed by Mao Renfeng with a sad face and nervousness.

Not knowing what bad news should come, Chiang Kai-shek glanced at it, his face stretched even longer. Yu Jishi squeezed the telegram, bowed forward, stammering, "President...Shanghai urgent telegram, went to Beiping today to pick up Zhang Zhizhong's special plane and came back. However, Zhang Wenbai and others have already voted for the Communist Party, and the peace talks delegation has stayed with the Communist Party." "So the Communist Party detained them?" "No." Yu Jishi lowered his head, "According to reliable sources, they surrendered to the Communist Party, betrayed the president, and betrayed the party-state."

"Mother Xipi!" Chiang Kai-shek threw away his crutches resentfully, and his peanut-like head popped up, "My students betrayed me, and my old friends betrayed me. Now, even Zhang Wenbai betrayed me. The seller is begging for glory, how can I, Jiang, feel sorry for him? The current situation is difficult, and people's hearts are not old. This... this, isn't Zhang Wenbai's family still in Shanghai? I personally arranged for Weiguo to pick him up." Mao Renfeng moved his short and fat body, leaned forward, and nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes! If you can run away, the monk can't escape the temple. Can he, Zhang Wenbai, abandon his family?"

Yu Jishi avoided Chiang Kai-shek's painful expression, and turned to look at Mao Renfeng in embarrassment, "His family also got on that plane and went to Peiping." "Confused! Absurd!" Chiang Kai-shek stared at Mao Renfeng, already outraged, "What's going on? He surrendered to the Communist Party, and we have to send favors." "I heard it was arranged by the Second Young Master." Yu Jishi replied in a low voice. Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything more, he stood withered in the wind, but his chest heaved violently like a mountain and sea.At night, the pine waves in the mountains cover one wave after another.Chiang Kai-shek sat on the sofa, silent.Mao Renfeng, who was accompanying him, was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

After a long time, Chiang Kai-shek asked bitterly: "Director Mao, Zhang Wenbai has defected to the enemy and treasoned the country. Your military command used to deal with traitors very severely. What are your plans?" Mao Renfeng was shocked, and immediately understood, "President, we must not be lenient when dealing with these soft-boned and troublemakers who have defected to the enemy. Let's arrange for the humble post. Should we send people to Beiping to impose sanctions on Zhang Wenbai, as a warning to others?" "You can't be soft. We used to kill too few people, and we were too soft. Some people in the camp took advantage of the loopholes. Your list must be implemented as soon as possible. Zhang Wenbai, Shao Lizi, Liu Fei...these people surrendered to the Communist Party. The mission of the party and the country is actually sinners through the ages. Don’t worry about them, this is our punishment of traitors.”

Mao Renfeng nodded in response, and immediately turned on the lights to make arrangements.On the dark assassination list, Zhang Zhizhong, Shao Lizi and other members of the peace talks delegation were all on the list.After handing over the list to Chiang Kai-shek for approval, he rushed to Shanghai and called Mao Sen, Ye Xiangzhi and others to make arrangements.Because this task is not like assassinating Li Zongren, Song Qingling, etc., there are all kinds of scruples.Chiang Kai-shek publicly used the pretense of "sanctioning traitors", so Mao Renfeng arranged it blatantly. Mao Sen was eager to try on the spot, and offered to let his subordinate Li Abao assist Pan Qiwu, a ranger of the military command, to immediately go to Peking to carry out the assassination mission.When Mao Renfeng first heard it, he was still a little apprehensive.Mao Sen assured that Li Abao did a good job.This man is a tyrant in the suburbs of Shanghai. He is bold and evil, and even the king of heaven is not afraid of him.After Mao Sen became the chief of the Shanghai police, in order to strengthen his reputation, he specially recruited these local tyrants and hooligans, and by the way, he developed Li Abao into a small spy of the military command, directly obeying his orders.

This person is not inferior to those military spies who kill without blinking an eye. When he interrogated some patriots and underground members of the Communist Party of China in Mao Sen, he often acted as a thug, and his methods were particularly cruel.This person also invented some appalling tortures ingeniously, such as acupuncture penis, hanging testicles, boiled foreskin, especially "wearing sackcloth and filial piety", using a wooden stick full of steel needles to beat the naked victim. His body was covered with cuts and bruises, blood flowed all over his face, and then he was coated with alcohol, salt water, a layer of oil, and pasted with white gauze.After a short rest, the scabs formed and the bleeding stopped, and then came back for trial.If he did not confess, the white gauze was slowly torn off one by one.In this way, the broken skin and muscles under the cloth were torn off at the same time.So brutal, it's shocking.

Mao Sen spoke with great interest, and Mao Renfeng was a little creepy when he heard it.He pondered for a while, thinking, there are still so many people in Shanghai on his assassination list, and he urgently needs to do it.What matters right now is that there are not enough killers available.According to Mao Sen, this person must be no worse than the regular killers of the military command.Besides, Pan Qiwu had always been in the center in the past, not a front-line player. It was entirely because of the shortage of staff in the Security Bureau that he changed to be an assassin.Although several assassination missions were successfully carried out in the past, they were all little people who lacked precautions and were not on the stage.

Thinking of this, Mao Renfeng smiled all over his face, patted Mao Sen's shoulder triumphantly, and agreed. However, Mao Renfeng was too happy.Pan Qiwu and Li Abao sneaked out of Shanghai and went to Peiping, but there was no news from then on.The people at the Beiping Lurking Station of the Secrecy Bureau didn't get in touch with these two for a long time.Later, instead of completing an assassination mission, those latent spies in Peiping were arrested and shot one after another a year later.
