Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty Seven

"I finally understand that if there are no women in this world, you men will definitely not be able to live." Li Man'e did not reject Chu Liyan this time. "Man came to this world to suffer. God took pity on him and created a man, so that he could have a little bit of fun in life. If a man doesn't have this little bit of fun, what's the point of living?" Footsteps were heard in the aisle, and Li Man'e glanced at her watch. It was not time for dinner, so she lazily sat on the wall. With a "click", the iron gate opened, and the guard shouted, "Li Man'e, you can go out!"

Li Man'e turned her head slowly, the door was open, and the guards were leaving, she couldn't believe it, did she get free without any warning? "Guards, guards!" Li Man'e called out twice but no one answered. The door was open, and there were no guards guarding it. I don't know whether it was because of habit or other reasons, but Li Man'e, who had been looking forward to freedom, was not in a hurry to leave. "Let's go, you are free." Chu Xiangxue next door also reminded. "I'm free, so aren't you free?" Li Man'e replied with a sneer.

"You have a deep prejudice against me." Chu Xiangxue said. "The way is different, it's not enough to make a plan. Miss Chu, I hope you will stay away from me in the future." "In my life, I have always regarded you as my aunt. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. I hope you can understand me." Chu Xiangxue said. "Of course I understand you. If I didn't understand, I would have torn you apart!" Li Man'e said through gritted teeth. There were footsteps outside the door again, and Li Man'e yelled twice, wanting to ask why she was released.The footsteps approached, and it was Chu Liyan who appeared at the door.

"Man'e, come out quickly. We can be together again from now on!" Chu Liyan walked into the room to help Li Manye pack up. "Liyan, did you beg Zhang Zui?" Li Man'e asked. "If you don't have a good reason, it's useless to beg him a hundred times. Man'e, I know you are wronged, and the truth of your wrong will be revealed soon!" Chu Liyan said. "Have you found the underground party of the Gendarmerie? Who is he?" Li Man'e asked anxiously. "What kind of underground party is Su Zitong playing a trick to please both sides. Zhang Zui saw through it. I am negotiating with Li Zizhong to ask him to hand over Su Zitong as soon as possible." Chu Liyan picked up the packed daily necessities with his left hand and stretched out his right hand It is necessary to pull Li Man'e out of here.

"What did you say, Su Zitong caused me to be locked up for so many days?" Li Man'e looked at Chu Liyan. "Let's go, don't ask so many questions." Chu Liyan was anxious to take Li Man'e back. "No, it's not Su Zitong's fault, it's Zhang Zui's fault. Li Yan, I can't leave, I've been locked up for no reason, I have to ask Zhang Zui for an explanation!" Li Man'e went back to the bed and sat still. "You, you, you, what's wrong with you!" Chu Liyan stomped his feet anxiously. "Liyan, if you want Zhang Zui to come over, tell him, let him shut it down, let him let him go, it's not that simple!"

"Man'e, you are so outrageous, who do you think you are, how many good things I said and promised to do things for others to get you out, why don't you understand me?" "Then I can't go out anymore. Old Chu, you can go. You are a dignified man, there is no need to humiliate others for this matter!" Li Man'e did not move despite Chu Liyan's persuasion. "I, I really convinced you!" The two were entangled here, and it happened that Li Ruyou was passing by, and he greeted, "Headman Chu, have you come to pick him up in person?" "Li Ruyou, you came just in time, you asked Zhang Zui to come over and apologize to me, otherwise I wouldn't go out!" Li Man'e said loudly.

Li Ruyou finally understood, and sneered in his heart, but he said: "I'm not good at talking, let Commander Chu talk to the team leader. Commander Chu, Li Man'e may feel comfortable living here, so you let her Stay here. You are busy, I have something to go." Li Man'e was choked to death by Li Ruyou's words, and now she would lose face even if she wanted to go with Chu Liyan, so she bit the bullet and pushed Chu Liyan out of the confinement room. "If there are no accidents, there will be news from Comrade Primrose in the next few days. Come on, you must hurry up and contact Comrade Skylark." Luo Su warned while eating.

"I go to Juyuan every day. As soon as there is news from Comrade Primrose, I will get the information as soon as possible." Zhong Hualai said after taking a sip of the soup. "Comrade Nightingale has made a great contribution this time. He can not only save the primrose, but also make a substantial test of Li Zizhong." Jiang Fangxiang said after leaving his job. "Stop eating?" Zhong Hualai said with concern, "Young people should eat more." "Eat a good breakfast and eat less dinner. This is the way to maintain health. I have already eaten well, but I don't feel comfortable sleeping after eating too much at night." Jiang Fangxiang said.

"Comrade Nightingale's move this time is indeed a high-level chess game, which can achieve the magical effect of killing two birds with one stone. As Fang Xiang said, it can not only rescue the primrose, but also test Li Zizhong. After all, our Jiangnan City underground The central task of the party is to do a good job of Li Zizhong. This man was a traitor in the early days of our party. His characteristics were lustful, worrying about gains and losses, and suspicious. After the Kuomintang showed its decline, he should have his own plans in terms of interests. In addition, our "Spring Voice" is given to him every issue without delay, even if he has a heart of steel, he should soften." Luo Su also put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at the crowd and said.

"I have been a staff officer under him for many years. He gave me the impression that the city is too deep and unfathomable. No matter what the big event is, he keeps his face." Jiang Fangxiang said, "Of course, Nightingale knows him better. He After all, you are doing things by his side." "Nightingale has reported to me in the past that he has the same opinion as Comrade Fang Xiang. He feels that Li Zizhong's city is too deep, and it is difficult to find out his details. He has tried words several times, but nothing has been gained." Luo Su He took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth and said, "I told him that Li Zizhong is a defector, and Chiang Kai-shek certainly doesn't trust him very much. This kind of person must be cautious and suspicious. If you try to test him with words, he may even doubt you." He was entrusted by a secret agent to set him up. Because of this matter, Nightingale can be said to be in a state of desperation, always trying to find a way to find out Li Zizhong's true thoughts. But no, he really came up with a way!"

"This is called hard work pays off." Zhong Hualai was the last to put down the bowl and chopsticks. "Everyone's finished eating, I'll wash the dishes." Jiang Fangxiang rolled up his sleeves to tidy up, "I hope this double-winner will succeed!" Li Zizhong was sitting under the electric light, reading documents, when suddenly a person came in, and he took a closer look, but it was Su Zitong.As soon as Su Zitong came in, he knelt down in front of him in tears. "Teacher, you must save me, I am wronged!" Su Zitong kowtowed like garlic. "Company Commander Su, what are you doing? Get up!" Li Zizhong shouted. "No, I won't get up if you don't promise me." "Presumptuous! Why don't you talk about it!" "Master, you have to decide for me. We have a military command agent in Jiangnan City. His name is Zhang Zui. This man is brutal, bloodthirsty, and murderous. As soon as he came here, he doubted this for no reason, that It is an underground party. Because of this, countless innocent people have become unjust souls and died under his gun. Recently, he extended his demonic hand to the independent division again, intending to create white terror and carry out bloody massacres. Qiu Xuehai, Shu Xianglin, Bai Qiming and his subordinates have all died in his hands, and then it was my turn... Teacher, if you continue to sit back and let him do whatever he wants, I'm sure your subordinates will be killed one by one. If you die unexpectedly, it will definitely be your turn in the end!" Although Li Zizhong had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still quite surprised after hearing Su Zitong's words. He calmed down and shouted in a condescending tone: "Su Zitong, don't be alarmist. The Gendarmerie has already called me. Said to have mastered all the real evidence of you!" "Master, haven't you heard the saying 'If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse'? He said that he has all the real evidence for me, have you seen it?" "You are sophistry. Commander Chu called this morning and asked me to hand you over to him. If he brings evidence, can you still be here tonight?" Su Zitong savored Li Zizhong's words carefully, and felt that if he didn't hand himself over to Zhang Zui soon, he must have his own thoughts. Could it be that what Liang Tianshu said was true? "Thank you, Master, for saving your life. Zitong will definitely repay you in this life!" "Who saved you? Did I say I would save you? If I don't know why, I will save you? What a joke! Let me ask you, Captain Chu said that you let go of the Communist Party in Yunni silk village, but there is such a thing ?!" Li Zizhong stared at Su Zitong with piercing eyes. "This..." Su Zitong was very contradictory at the moment. Although Liang Tianshu asked him to admit it, if Li Zizhong was not pro-communist, wouldn't he die faster? "If you don't say it, it's tantamount to acquiescing. Commander Su, you are so confused. Yunni Silk Village is the old nest of the Communist Party. Do you know how important this information is to the party-state? You are so bold that even if I want to Let you go, do I dare to let you go? Can Zhang Zui tolerate me letting you go? Tell me, are you an underground party?" "This..." Su Zitong was even more conflicted, he didn't know whether to admit it or not. "If you refuse to say it, it means that you still don't believe me as a teacher. You can go and come to me after you think it over." Su Zitong left Li Zizhong's house with anxiety.At this time, the phone in the living room rang, and his wife Fei Yuting picked up the phone.After a while, she came to the study and said, "Respect yourself, a member of the Gendarmerie surnamed Chu is calling." Li Zizhong stood up, walked into the living room and picked up the microphone. As expected, it was Chu Liyan's voice on the phone. "Mr. Li, when can you hand over the person to us?" "Don't worry, Commander Chu, I've already taken care of him." Li Zizhong tried to keep his words simple. "We want to come over early tomorrow morning to ask for someone, can Mr. Li be accommodating?" "Tomorrow morning? It's too urgent. We still have some affairs that need to be handed over by him. He can't run away anyway." "Mr. Li, don't be careless. The Communist Party of the Independent Division is very rampant. Be careful that Company Commander Su will not be hijacked by them." Chu Liyan hung up the phone. "What did the gendarmerie tell you?" Fei Yuting asked while sitting on the mahogany sofa. "I want me to hand over Su Zitong, saying that the Communist Party of Yunni Silk Village was let go by him." "Company Commander Su is the Communist Party?" Fei Yuting looked at Li Zizhong in surprise. "It's not sure yet." Li Zizhong sighed and sat down beside Fei Yuting. "I think this company commander Su cannot be handed over to them." "Why?" Li Zizhong looked at his wife. "I think even if he is not the Communist Party, he will be related to the Communist Party. Otherwise, how could he report for the Communist Party?" "I think so too, so I hinted at him during the conversation just now. If he can understand, he will tell his true identity." "Self-respect, you are too tired, there should be someone who can share it for you." Fei Yuting said. "People's hearts are not old these days. No one is worthy of my trust. The only one who can share the burden for me is you." "I'm a girl, and I'm not in your army. I think Adjutant Liang is pretty good, can you..." Fei Yuting looked at Li Zizhong. "I used to think he was reliable, but a few times he even made pro-communist remarks in front of me...Old Fei, I'm afraid. It's not that I'm afraid of death, but that you mother and child will lose their support!" Li Zizhong shook his head repeatedly. Su Zitong left Li Zizhong's house and did not go back to the guard company, but went to Liang Tianshu's house.After hearing his story, Liang Tianshu understood in his heart, patted Su Zitong on the shoulder and said, "You can rest assured, the teacher is willing to save you." "But he didn't say he wanted to save me. When I walked out the door, a phone call happened to come. I stood outside and listened for a while. It was Chu Liyan who called him. He promised Chu Liyan on the phone and said that he had sent me Got it guarded." "Have you been guarded? Can you go to his house and come to me again after you are guarded? Company Commander Su, please be clear and think about it carefully. The sentence he said later, 'You go, think clearly Come and find me again'—do you understand what he means?" Liang Tianshu reminded Su Zitong. "I don't really understand." Su Zitong shook his head, "Just tell me." "What he means is that if you are the Communist Party, he will protect you, if not, he will hand you over at any time!" "Is this really Master Li's idea?" Su Zitong was still surprised. "Don't ask others if they think this way. What did you think before the 'Drunken Spring Breeze' incident? What's more, Mr. Li was originally a defector, and he has been suspected and excluded by Jiang's orthodox. Now the overall situation is settled. He Why would you want to be buried with the Kuomintang?" Liang Tianshu said patiently. "After what you said, it really makes sense." Su Zitong nodded. "You don't have to think about it now. Go to the teacher tomorrow morning and admit to him that you are the Communist Party. Yunni Silk Village is the letter you reported. I can assure you that as long as you admit that, the teacher will protect you. Otherwise If so, I will hand you over to Zhang Zui! Do you know what will happen to you if you are in Zhang Zui's hands?" "I know." Su Zitong finally made up his mind. "Xiangxue, I have wronged you these few days." Zhang Zui looked at Chu Xiangxue deeply and said. "It's nothing, I did it on my own." Chu Xiangxue avoided Zhang Zuihuo's gaze.The sun rose outside the window, she looked away and said, "Group leader, do you have any instructions? I'm going home to wash clothes and bedding." "Your job remains the same as in the past—even if this case is over, there are still many doubts about Li Man'e." "You know, I will definitely monitor her closely." Chu Xiangxue stood up. Zhang Zui watched Chu Xiangxue without blinking until she disappeared into the sunlight outside the door.At this time, Zhang Zui suddenly remembered something. "Li Ruyou, go and invite Captain Chu here." "Okay, I'll go right away." Li Ruyou, who had been guarding the door, said, "But he may not be in the office at this time." "It's already morning, where else can he be if he's not in the office?" Zhang Zui was puzzled. "I'm at home. Yesterday Li Man'e put on a show and refused to come out, so I want you to come forward and apologize to her." "I don't know?" Zhang Zui asked in surprise. "It's because I don't want to tell you that she is making trouble out of no reason. Give her half of face and she thinks she is really the queen." "Didn't she come out yesterday?" "Yes, I stayed in the confinement room for one night, and I ignored Chu Liyan. Chu Liyan just talked and talked, and just persuaded her to go home. Maybe she is making out at this time." "A long absence is better than a newlywed. It's okay to be affectionate, but you can't delay the business. Go ahead and be more artistic." Zhang Zui urged. After a while, Chu Liyan came to the repair room, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Team leader, I'm just looking for you." "Didn't Li Zizhong say to hand in someone today, why is there still no movement?" Zhang Zui asked. "The team leader had an accident. Li Zizhong called early in the morning and said that Su Zitong had escaped from the confinement room. I had expected this step a long time ago. I reminded him last night. I didn't expect it to come true." Chu Liyan dejectedly Sit down on a chair. "Is it okay to just run away? Didn't Li Zizhong speak too easily?" Zhang Zui tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. "He also knows that the responsibility is heavy, so he sent people to look for it everywhere, and promised to give us an answer within three days." Chu Liyan wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and said. There was a sudden silence in the repair room, and each other's breathing could be heard. "Captain Chu, do you think Li Zizhong is reliable?" Zhang Zui finally spoke. "There is no absolute reliability in this world. People are selfish and think of themselves." "You are right. This Li Zizhong used to take part in the Wuchang Uprising. When the Communist Party was at a low point, he took refuge in Chairman Jiang. Now that Chairman Jiang has lost power, he will also take refuge in the Communist Party." "This is for sure. In Jiangnan City, even the people in the market know that Li Zizhong is a defected general. If he doesn't defect, it will be abnormal." Chu Liyan said. "Another thing, I have to tell you today—the organization sent me here, and the central task is to guard against the Communist Party's contact with Li Zizhong." Zhang Zui stood up and paced, "Since I came here, I have started a war with the Communist Party. The purpose of each battle is to wipe out all the underground parties in Jiangnan City, so that Li Zizhong has the idea of ​​rebellion but no chance of rebellion!" "Team leader Zhang is really generous in his work, which really makes Chu feel ashamed. If this goal is achieved, Li Zizhong can only follow the party-state obediently." "I thought it would be the last to focus on Li Zizhong, but now it seems that we can't, we must pay attention to him in advance!" Zhang Zui said with a heavy heart, "The situation may be more serious than expected, there are many bad signs Already appeared..." "After you said it, I really felt the seriousness of the problem. Maybe the Communist Party has already started working on Li Zizhong before us." Chu Liyan said with deep empathy. "It's not 'maybe', but very sure. If the Communist Party didn't do Li Zizhong's work, why wouldn't he hand over Su Zitong?" "The team leader is saying that Li Zizhong hid Su Zitong?" Chu Liyan's eyes widened in surprise. "I know, you know, God knows, Earth knows. This matter is very important, don't make it public." Zhang Zui warned, "Okay, let's stop here for now, I will come up with a countermeasure for Li Zizhong as soon as possible." Chu Liyan returned to the office, sat for a while and felt uncomfortable, so he said to Yang Ligong: "Adjutant Yang, I'll go back, don't forget to record the phone call." When Chu Liyan walked to the family area, Chu Xiangxue was drying the quilts on the drying yard at the door. Li Man'e leaned on the door and looked at him: "Why don't you go to the office and come back?" Chu Liyan glanced at Chu Xiangxue secretly, pulled Li Man'e into the room, hugged her and kissed her, and said, "I miss you, a long absence is better than a new marriage..." "Be serious, let your niece see it." Li Man'e pushed Chu Liyan away. Chu Liyan poked his head out of the door and saw that Chu Xiangxue was not paying attention, so he closed the door and put his arms around Li Man'e again. "I finally understand that if there are no women in this world, you men will definitely not be able to live." Li Man'e did not reject Chu Liyan this time. "Man came to this world to suffer. God took pity on him and created a man, so that he could have a little bit of fun in life. If a man doesn't have this little bit of fun, what's the point of living?" "I can't stand you, you men can't eat this thing. Hey, what did Zhang Zui ask Li Ruyou to ask you to do?" "It's not about the important person to Li Zi." "Is it going to take that long to talk about this matter?" "And he suspects that the Communist Party has started work on Li Zizhong." Chu Liyan stripped off Li Manye's coat, and the two embraced even tighter... Juyuan Ballroom is holding a morning "Masquerade Ball". Zhong Hualai is wearing an eagle mask, and Jiangnan Yunque is wearing a mouse mask. The two hug each other and use the music on the dance floor as a cover to talk. No one knew they knew each other, let alone what they were talking about in private.Because each pair of dance partners did not know each other, they all asked each other's name or hometown out of politeness. At the end of the song, Jiangnan Yunque's hand slipped from his shoulder to Zhong Hualai's waist, and then a small thing fell into Zhong Hualai's pocket... At the beginning of the second song, the two of them were no longer together, and they were not together until the end of the show.Zhong Hualai didn't know if Yunque would persist until the end, but he was almost the last one to leave the ballroom.He waited at the door for a while before getting into a rickshaw.On the way, he worriedly put his hand into his left pocket, and he didn't feel at ease until he touched the small pieces of paper. Zhong Hua came back to Hehe Street to give the things to Luo Su.Luo Su took the things into the room and opened them. When everyone looked at them, they found a piece of blank paper without a word on it. With a solemn expression, Luo Su took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer, took the medicine juice with cotton and applied it on the white paper, and a line of words clearly appeared: Do not read for peace.Zhang Zui began to pay attention to Li Zizhong.Primrose. Primrose finally reported safety to the organization, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
