Chapter 78 Chapter 74: Fate Hangs by a Thread

The night is coming, and firecrackers are going off from time to time outside. This kind of festive atmosphere makes Mu Liangfeng full of thoughts. I wonder if grandpa, who is thousands of miles away, is asleep?How did he spend this Spring Festival?At this time in previous years, the grandfather and grandson returned from hunting in the forest with guns on their backs, and ate delicious roasted game in front of the stove. Mr. Mu drank white wine and proudly watched his grandson grow one year older.Although the days are as peaceful as water, the grandparents and grandchildren live happily together. Now that the relatives are separated from each other, the yearning for such a festival fills the heart of the young man.

Mu Liangfeng has never been so full of longing for family affection like today.In the past, parents were just an abstract concept to him. From the day he was sensible, there was only one grandfather in his life, but now, he missed his parents a hundred times.what do they look likewhere now?How are you doing... I'm afraid I won't have the chance to know. Thinking of this, the young Mu Liangfeng suddenly burst into tears, and a great sadness surged, rushing from his feet to the top of his head, tearing his heart into pain. "Mr. Shepherd, come and smoke a cigarette." A policeman called him out of the window with a smile.

Mu Liangfeng quickly wiped away his tears, stood at the window and took the cigarette. "Mr. Mu, I just heard people from the gendarmerie whispering that it was General Peng who came forward for you. Now it seems that it is not so easy for people from the 36th Army to touch you." "General Peng?" Mu Liangfeng was taken aback. "As far as your teacher is concerned, he is very proud of himself now! He has just been promoted to deputy commander, and his future is bright." Mu Liangfeng didn't expect that even the head teacher would intervene in this matter, so he felt a little more at ease.

The next morning, while Mu Liangfeng was still sleeping, a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed into the yard, headed by the chief of military law and a lieutenant colonel staff officer of the 36th Army, and behind them were the military police of the 36th Army. "According to the order of the 36th Army, we are here to pick up people." The leading lieutenant colonel handed over a piece of order to the gendarmerie captain Wang Laoliu and others who came after hearing the news: "We have already sent a note to your superiors. relevant evidence." Seeing that the situation was not good, the police immediately sent someone to report.

Old Wang Liu got the instruction, so naturally he would not let him go. He didn't even glance at the proof materials handed over, so he blocked the words: "I'm sorry sir, the order we received is that this case must be handled by Lieutenant General Peng Qingsong. The case is personally reviewed and closed, and no other unit is allowed to take people away at will." "Presumptuous! This matter involves our 36th Army. Of course, it should be reviewed by our military department." The lieutenant colonel squinted his eyes and snorted: "We have completed the procedures, and we are going to take people away now."

Seeing the backing of Lieutenant General Peng, Wang Laoliu spoke more forcefully: "Forgive me! Unless General Peng comes here in person, no one is allowed to take Company Commander Mu away. Besides, even if this matter involves you, you should The Military Jurisdiction Department will come forward, not your 36th Army." The Chief of the Military Law Division was in trouble, and upon hearing Wang Laoliu's words, he immediately responded: "Yes, yes! Staff Officer Ouyang, let the brothers take their time to deal with this matter, and I will deal with it fairly." "This is something that our division commander personally confessed. Do you want to disobey?" The lieutenant colonel looked at the chief of the military law with a look of contempt, obviously dissatisfied with this guy who betrayed him.

Wang Laoliu was not polite: "This is the Gendarmerie Command, what does it have to do with your division seat?" The implication of these words was to tell him: This is the territory of the Gendarmerie, so don't take the hat of major general and division commander Press us. The lieutenant colonel's face was livid with anger: "If you want to disobey the military order, don't blame me for being rude." Just as he was saying this, Fatty Jiang ran in with a brigade of policemen with live ammunition: "Brothers are ordered by the county magistrate Zhao to come to assist Defend."

The play became more and more lively, and the lieutenant colonel became even more annoyed: "Never mind your business, this is our military's business." "I'm sorry, brother is also an official worker, and he acts on orders. The officers can go to County Magistrate Zhao if they need something." Fatty Jiang kicked the ball to his boss. "I don't care about you, County Chief Zhao, County Chief Li, I'm going to take someone away now, let's see if any of you dare to stop me?" The lieutenant colonel lost his patience and became impatient.As soon as the soldiers under him heard what the officer said, they immediately untied the rifles on their backs and prepared to forcibly rob him.

With a wave of Fatty Jiang's hand, dozens of policemen also pointed out the guy, and all the guns in their hands were officially loaded.Wang Laoliu's subordinates also rushed out with guns in their hands, and the three groups confronted each other for a while.Everyone is clear about the situation, as long as Mu Liangfeng pulls out the door of the gendarmerie, life and death will be a matter of a bullet.The Gendarmerie Commander just went to Liuzhou to pick him up in the past few days. At present, Wang Laoliu of the Gendarmerie has the final say, and he will definitely not let the 36th Army take Mu Liangfeng away.

Fatty Jiang was even more anxious. He knew the consequences best. As long as Mu Liangfeng walked out of this door, there would be a gunshot within a short distance. You have to stop this one too. "Officer Ouyang, I hope you calm down. If this incident becomes serious, you will be imprisoned yourself." The chief of military justice no longer cares about the face of the major general. What if the 36th Army really snatches Mu Liangfeng away? , I have been offended on both sides, it is better to fall to one side than to offend both sides, otherwise I will not be able to get along in the military in the future.

"No, I must take someone away today. I hope the brothers don't make it difficult for me." The lieutenant colonel seemed determined to win. Wang Laoliu was also angry, saying: "The army has military regulations. This is the gendarmerie. The chief of the military law is here. If you rob people by force, don't blame the brothers for not recognizing people." The lieutenant colonel saw that the opponent had an absolute advantage in numbers, and he knew the consequences if he really made a move, so he said, "The formalities have been completed, and it is reasonable for us to take people away now." "We only obey the orders of the superiors. If you have anything to do, you can directly negotiate with the superiors. If the superiors agree, we will release him of course. I hope you don't embarrass the brothers." Wang Laoliu looked resolute. ... At this moment, the roar of cars came from outside the yard of the gendarmerie, and more than two hundred heavily armed soldiers jumped out of several trucks and rushed straight into the gendarmerie.The leader was a middle-aged army major general wearing a steel helmet. "stand at attention!" All the people in the yard immediately put down their guns and stood in silence.The major general came forward with an angry face, looked around with a pair of eagle eyes, and then fell on Wang Laoliu: "Are you from the gendarmerie?" "Report sir! I'm Wang Laoliu, Captain of the Gendarmerie." Before he finished speaking, the Major General slapped him in the face. The major general's eyes were fierce, which made Wang Laoliu's heart tremble. "You are so brave, you dare to defy my own warrant." "Reporting to the officer, a humble position is also following orders." Wang Laoliu said. The major general slapped him again: "Whose order do you follow? What kind of thing do you do?" Wang Laoliu's face turned red, but he still insisted on saying: "Report sir, the Gendarmerie is detaining the prisoner under the order of Lieutenant General Peng Qingsong, and the Gendarmerie would not release him without his order." The major general was completely irritated. These words obviously brought out a lieutenant general in the army to suppress him, and a senior official crushed him to death! "Presumptuous! You dare to play this trick on me. Peng Qingsong and I are at the same time in Huangpu, so don't use him to suppress me." He waved his hand, and more than two hundred heavily armed soldiers immediately surrounded the gendarmerie, Lieutenant Colonel Seeing that the reinforcements arrived, he no longer had any worries, and commanded his soldiers to rush into Mu Liangfeng's hut to arrest them. "Who dares!" Fatty Jiang is not from the military, so he can't control so much, so he ordered his policemen to line up, all rifles loaded, to block the 36th Army military police who were arresting people. "Damn it, don't tell me you, a little policeman, want to rebel?" The major general didn't expect that a police captain in a county town would dare to be so arrogant, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment. The soldiers of the 36th Army set up machine guns around them, and the black muzzles were aimed at the gendarmerie and the police. "Anyone who stands in the way will be executed on the spot!" But Fatty Jiang really went all out and refused to let the military police of the 36th Army approach Mu Liangfeng's house. The blood flowed from the head, and when the other policemen saw that their own was being beaten, they immediately rushed forward to punch and kick, and overturned the beating gendarme to the ground. "thumping!--" The major general fired a shot into the sky and warned again: "If you dare to stop him again, you will be shot on the spot!" Fatty Jiang didn't show weakness, he raised his pistol and said to his brothers: "If they dare to shoot at their own people, everyone will beat me to death, and I will bear all the consequences." The major general's face was livid with anger, and he was the commander of a major general of the national army anyway, but today he was swept away by this desperate local police. The situation escalated again, the smell of gunpowder spread in the yard, and a bloody incident was about to happen.The chief of the military law department rushed forward and said: "Mr. Li, you must calm down. The chairman of the committee is going to Liuzhou soon. If this matter gets to him, it will not end well." A dignified major general and division commander can't take away a low-level military officer who committed a crime. It's okay to spread the news.In a rage, the division commander forgot his identity for a moment, and did not consider the serious consequences of this incident, and prepared to order to shoot at the group of local policemen who "disobeyed the military order". There was another sound of a car engine outside the yard, and after a while there were loud footsteps. Chief of Staff Wu of the Secret Service Regiment ran in accompanied by a young officer and escorted by dozens of soldiers of the Special Service Regiment. "Mr. Li must not shoot!" The young officer was sweating profusely and ran to the major general, saluted the major general politely, took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and handed it over: "Mr. Li, I am General Chen Dekai Adjutant, this is a letter from the general." The division commander's head buzzed. Who is this lieutenant? Even the commander-in-chief of the army group came forward to speak.He took the piece of paper, and there were only a few short words on it, and the words were flying and flying. Chen Dekai was a well-known calligrapher in the military at that time, and many of his colleagues had seen his calligraphy before, so the major general also recognized it: This matter will not be pursued, and must be followed.Chen Dekai. (Note: Obedience means obeying orders) With a pale face, the major general returned the piece of paper to the young officer, and shouted at his subordinates: "Withdraw!" Then he strode away and led the soldiers away in disgrace. Everyone watched the people of the 36th Army get into the car and leave in a hurry, and then they breathed a sigh of relief. Chief of Staff Wu wiped the sweat from his brow, and said to General Chen's adjutant, "Thank you brother for your help. If brother hadn't rescued him in time this time, I* would have lost another general." The adjutant smiled: "Don't be polite, brother, I almost passed the imperial decree this time." As he spoke, he handed the order to Wang Laoliu: "Gendarmerie let him go!" Wang Laoliu didn't bother to care about the authenticity of the order, so he let Mu Liangfeng go in a favor. A few gendarmes who had made a false alarm hurriedly opened the door to Mu Liangfeng: "Brother, congratulations!" Although Mu Liangfeng was inside the house, he could clearly see the situation in the yard from the window.If it weren't for the fact that the major general didn't dare to shoot, he would have told Fatty Jiang to stop.He is unwilling to have so many brethren shed for him. Mu Liangfeng recognized the adjutant as the civilian military officer he had seen in Liuzhou Hospital before, and he didn't know how this person fell from the sky.It turned out that the matter was like this: sent by General Chen, the adjutant called the secret service team and told Mu Liangfeng to go to the military academy to study after the Spring Festival. General Chen is around, so he naturally knows the general's intentions, the general is a person who cherishes talents, let alone the grace of saving lives, General Chen also wants to cultivate Mu Liangfeng into a talent.Of course the adjutant couldn't see that Mu Liangfeng was shot so inexplicably, otherwise the general would track him down and he would be fine if he didn't report the knowledge. After hearing the adjutant's report, General Chen made a judgment on the cause and effect of this matter. He slowly stood up, took a puff of cigarette, and said a word: "If you are dead, you will be dead. Why bother?" What about me as a lieutenant? You go and save him for me." General Chen said this.Coming out of the general's office, the adjutant wrote this order in the name of General Chen, which was not an order.The adjutant followed General Chen in the officialdom for a long time, copied his handwriting almost to the point of being fake, and was extremely able to guess General Chen's intentions. General Chen should not directly intervene in this matter, but the adjutant can come forward. If someone makes a fuss about it, He can also accept it on behalf of the general. Mu Liangfeng, the person involved, didn't know the twists and turns behind this incident. He only knew that his troubles this time caused his brothers to suffer, which made him very uneasy. Thank you, then followed Chief of Staff Wu into the car and returned to the regiment headquarters. The adjutant returned by car without having dinner in the secret service regiment. Another official document left in the regiment headquarters stated that three days later, Mu Liangfeng set off to report to the Hunan provincial cadre training regiment, which was formerly the Changsha branch of the Central Army Military Academy. The location is Leiyang City, Hunan Province.
