Chapter 54 Section 13

Facing these situations, Coke broke Zhao Siwu.He conspired with Li Zhitong, planning to use the opportunity of running to the army during this period of time to deliberately create an incident of army mutiny and assassinate Dong Qiwu while taking advantage of the chaos. Because Zhang Yue, the commander of the 103rd Division under Dong's subordinates, is an old man with comparable qualifications to Dong Qiwu.Especially after hearing that after the uprising in the future, these middle and high-level military officers will be sent to the unified rotation training, and they feel even more dissatisfied. What rotation training class, isn’t this depriving us of military power in a disguised form?”

Zhao Siwu saw Zhang Yue's complicated state of mind, approached him actively, and kept spreading rumors behind his back to confuse and fan the flames. According to the conspiracy between Zhao Siwu and Li Zhitong, they first let Li Zhitong pretend to be a staff officer of Zhang Yue's army. After Dong Qiwu arrived in the division, Zhang Yue came forward to meet Dong Qiwu. Insisting on the path of uprising, they took the opportunity to boo.Then, Li Zhitong took out a gun while pretending to be outraged, and shot Dong Qiwu to death on the spot. As for the aftermath, they had already thought about their words, and promised to recommend Zhang Yue to act as Dong Qiwu's former post, and take advantage of the chaos to drag the troops away to the front lines of Gansu and Ningxia.

At the beginning, when they found Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue was still hesitant. Later, unable to withstand Zhao Siwu's bewitching, Zhang Yue was actually moved. He said, "I have no choice but to feel sorry for Mr. Fu. It's no fault of us, Dong Qiwu is really too aggressive. " With Zhang Yue's confession, Zhao Siwu and Li Zhitong were overjoyed, and they immediately decided to take action when Dong Qiwu arrived at Zhang Yue's division.Immediately, Li Zhitong locked himself in the interrogation room of the inspection office, cooked three rounds of poison-soaked bullets by himself, took two state-of-the-art Browning pistols, and waited quietly for Dong Qiwu to slip into the sleeves.

How can Dong Qiwu, who has been romantic for half his life on horseback, be an idler?Just as the three of them were waiting with their hearts beating wildly, Dong Qiwu suddenly disrupted their arrangement. Strange to say, this afternoon, when Li Zhitong finished the gun inspection and walked to the compound of the inspection office, he saw Zhao Siwu, who was in a good mood, squatting there, chatting with a guard who looked like a veteran with a smile.He was about to evade, but Zhao Siwu called him, "Counselor Li, come here. We veterans are good at pinching and counting, especially good at reading words. If you have nothing to do, come and have a try."

As he said that, he stepped forward and pushed Li Zhitong over without any explanation, "This is Staff Officer Zhao from the division, you can help him test the words." Li Zhitong was also interested, so he squatted down and scratched the word "laugh" on the ground with a tree branch.The veteran looked around the word, sized up Li Zhitong again, pondered for a while, and then explained: "This word looks auspicious on the surface, but it is actually unlucky." "Why?" Zhao Siwu asked quickly. "Laughing means that two people ascended to heaven. However, the two officers are not in a hurry. If you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you will not. If two people ascend to heaven, it is also possible for the two of them to escape."

Li Zhitong stared wide-eyed and frowned tightly. Seeing this scene, Zhao Siwu waved at the old soldier, and then pulled Li Zhitong back into the room. "It's unlucky, it's very unlucky." Zhao Siwu paced back and forth like a monkey jumping in circles, "The two ascended to heaven, and the two escaped. Could it be that we can't do this? How can we explain to Director Mao?" "District Chief Zhao has broken through all the ups and downs, and still believes in this evil?" Li Zhitong seemed dissatisfied. "Brother Zhitong doesn't know something..." Zhao Siwu waved his hands and was about to argue.Suddenly, there was a clear report from outside the door.

The two stopped talking and opened the door, only to see a staff officer introducing a colonel officer. Zhao Siwu recognized that it was Wei Gaocan from Dong Qiwu's military department. "Please sit down! Please sit down! What kind of wind brought Wei Gaoshen here?" Zhao Siwu smiled all over his face, joking and hurriedly gave up his seat. After thanking Wei Gao, he took out two invitation cards from his briefcase with a smile, and handed them over respectfully.Zhao Siwu opened it, and it turned out that Dong Qiwu hosted a banquet for everyone, and he and Li Zhitong were invited to attend tonight.

Zhao Siwu froze there for a moment. Wei Gaocan stood up with his briefcase in his arms, and said goodbye while urging: "Dong Junzuo heard that Mr. Li Zhitong, Commissioner Li, came from Shanghai, and specially prepared a banquet at the military headquarters to welcome him. Please honor him. " After speaking, he said goodbye and left. Zhao Siwu and Li Zhitong looked at each other, and they fell down.Zhao Siwu couldn't figure it out. After a long time, he said to himself: "Who leaked the news? Could it be Zhang Yue?" Li Zhitong was bored there, and fidgetily took out the Browning pistol, his eyes were dazed.

"No! No!" Zhao Siwu got up and began to pace hurriedly, "Zhang Yue and Dong Qiwu are in deep conflict. He also heard that some military commanders in Beiping have entered the rotation training class to carry out the ideological reform of the Communist Party. He was scared to death. Besides, isn't the post of army commander what he has always dreamed of?" Li Zhitong was still playing with the gun, keeping silent. "Brother Zhitong, tell me your opinion?" Li Zhitong put the gun back in his waist, raised his head and asked, "I became a special commissioner from Shanghai. This time, Dong Qiwu tricked me into riding a tiger's back and hanging there. But, I don't understand, who leaked the news?" , let them know about my activities.”

"Ghost knows." Zhao Siwu muttered, "There is a man with a big butt in Baotou, who doesn't know, but we have to go to this Hongmen banquet right now." "Take one step at a time." Li Zhitong replied dejectedly, "This Hongmen banquet is always going to be attended." Dong Qiwu's banquet was held in his military headquarters.In the evening, the guests who filed in filed in one after another.As soon as Zhao Siwu and Li Zhitong entered the inner courtyard, they saw Dong Qiwu in brand-new military uniform and greeted him warmly. "Special Commissioner Li," Dong Qiwu smiled, and directly pulled him and Zhao Siwu into the reception room, "I heard that you came from Shanghai and worked hard all the way. We are located in a remote area, bitter cold and desolate, and we specially set up a table of thin wine. Please honor me."
