Chapter 30 Chapter 30: Gunshots in the Password

Zhu Yongxiao walked into the guard room at this time and distributed cigarettes to the two guards.The two guards found out that they were Camels and accepted them with joy. The three of them were puffing and puffing in the guard room. Not long after they finished smoking a cigarette, the two guards yawned again and again, and then fell over on their seats... "I heard that Su Zitong didn't run away. He is still in the independent division. Li Zizhong is going to hand him over to Zhang Zui. Liyan, is this true?" Li Man'e asked. "How do you know?" Chu Liyan asked in surprise.

"Don't ask, I'm not blind or deaf anyway. Chu Xiangxue hasn't followed me these two days. She's in contact with a man named Lin Mulang. Lin Mulang is the chief of staff of the independent division. Zhang Zui entrusted him to find Su Zitong. " Chu Liyan looked at Li Man'e as if he didn't know him, and said after a while, "You make me more and more suspicious! Tell me, why are you doing this?" "No reason, if Su Zitong falls into Zhang Zui's hands, he insists that Yunni Silk Village is not his leak, and Zhang Zui will start killing in the Gendarmerie. Liyan, you promise me, you must get Su Zitong, absolutely Don't let him fall into Zhang Zui's hands."

"Why would I do this?" Chu Liyan looked directly at Li Man'e. "I've explained the truth very clearly. It doesn't matter if you can't do it. Please inform me in advance, and I will finish it myself. For me and for you, I must die with dignity." "So you...you..." Chu Liyan trembled, unable to speak any more, when footsteps came from outside. "Someone is coming!" Li Man'e signaled Chu Liyan to keep silent. The room suddenly became very quiet. "Is Head Chu at home?" Li Ruyou asked standing outside the window. "I'm at home, what's the matter?" Chu Liyan replied.

"Xiangxue is back, Team Leader Zhang wants to invite you over." Li Ruyou said. "Understood, I'll come right over." Chu Liyan said. The footsteps became closer and further away, and Li Man'e said, "It's about Su Zitong. Liyan, you must strive to lead someone to the Independent Division tomorrow." "Man'e, I really don't understand you more and more." Chu Liyan shook his head and said. "I will let you know me, but not now." Li Man'e said meaningfully. "I also know that the Kuomintang is gone, and the ancients said that those who know the current affairs are heroes, but there are also people who say that the death of a man is a small matter, and the loss of integrity is a major matter. I really don't know who to listen to." Chu Liyan sighed for a long time .

"Don't listen to anyone, just listen to me. In this world, I am the only one who really cares about you." Li Man'e urged, "Go quickly, don't make people wait too long." Zhang Zui turned on the tape recorder, and there was a conversation between Lin Mulang and Su Zitong—— Lin Mulang: Are you a Communist Party? Su Zitong: I am an underground party. Lin Mulang: Who is your superior? Su Zitong: My superior is named Jiang Fangxiang. Lin Mulang: Where is your headquarters? Su Zitong: It was in Yunni Silk Village in Fangsheng Street. I don’t know where it has moved now.

Lin Mulang: How did you report the letter? Su Zitong: I had enough time to get out of the Gendarmerie, and I took a rickshaw to the silk village... After the recording was over, Zhang Zui played it again, and then asked Chu Xiangxue, "Li Zizhong said he had no selfish intentions, why did he refuse to hand it over?" "He didn't want to hand over the person to the gendarmerie, he wanted to hand it over to the military commander. He said that as long as Lin Mulang took out your handwriting, he would hand it over immediately." "He will hand it over as long as I give it to him? Why can't he just hand it over to me?" Zhang Zui still had doubts.

"Leader, I think this is because you are overthinking. Lin Mulang said that he was entrusted by you to be an important person. Can Li Zizhong not give him face? After all, they have been in a superior-subordinate relationship for more than ten years." Chu Xiangxue analyzed . "Xiangxue is still thoughtful, it seems that women are more careful than men." Zhang Zui was indeed relieved at this moment. "Leader, in my opinion, it's not safe to hand over people to Lin Mulang. After all, he's not one of us. What if something happens?" Chu Liyan said, who had been silent all this time, "I think it's better to go there by myself." Come on, ask Lin Mulang to help us."

"Commander Chu is right, but does Lin Mulang have any ideas? After all, we will ask him to do things in the future." Li Ruyou said. "Whether we ask Lin Mulang to help us or we go to help Lin Mulang, it is actually the same thing, but the wording is different, and the feeling to others is very different." Zhang Zui said: "Who will be sent tomorrow is suitable?" ?” "The team leader is brilliant!" Li Ruyou praised, and immediately said, "As for who to send, I don't think Ding Yizuo and I are suitable, because we are often in charge of operations, and we will inevitably offend many people. There must be someone who knows us in the independent division, which is very unsafe."

"Who do you think is the most suitable?" Zhang Zui asked. "Miss Chu is the most suitable, only she hasn't shown up yet." Li Ruyou said. "I don't think so. It is because no one in the independent division knows me except Lin Mulang, so it is even more inappropriate to show my face. This will benefit me in my future work. As for the safety issue Li Ruyou said, don't worry about it, just implement it openly What's so scary about public affairs?" Chu Xiangxue said. "What Xiangxue said has some truth. If there is a pawn, you all go, and I will go too." Zhang Zui said.

"I'll go too, Li Zizhong and I have a little friendship." Chu Liyan said. At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhu Yongxiao came to Liang Tianshu's door on time, but found that the door was locked. He hesitated for a moment, then took out a key to open the door, entered the room in the dark and waited. It was 12 o'clock, but Liang Tianshu still didn't come back. Zhu Yongxiao suddenly understood that he would not come back... The situation suddenly changed, he quickly closed the door, went into the basement, turned on the radio and called the organization urgently...

Zhu Yongxiao waited for a reply from the radio station before leaving Liang Tianshu's house. The camp was completely silent, Zhu Yongxiao came to the gate, two guards were playing poker in the guard room, when they saw someone coming to check the post, they hurriedly hid their cards. "Zhu, squad leader Zhu, good evening!" A guard hurriedly saluted Zhu Yongxiao. "Is there anything wrong?" Zhu Yongxiao asked routinely. "Everything's fine, there's nothing wrong with it," another guard said. "Squad leader, just now we..." The guard who spoke first looked at Zhu Yongxiao uneasily. "It doesn't matter, they are all soldiers, as long as they don't see it."Zhu Yong Xiaowang said openly. "Thank you Squad Leader Zhu, Squad Leader Zhu, please smoke." The guard who spoke first took out a cigarette. "No, I have it here, everyone sit down, I'm tired from walking too." Zhu Yongxiao walked into the guard room at this time and distributed cigarettes to the two guards.The two guards found out that they were Camels and accepted them with joy. The three of them were puffing and puffing in the guard room. Not long after they finished smoking a cigarette, the two guards yawned again and again, and then collapsed on their seats... At this time, a rickshaw stopped at the gate, and a person stepped out of the car. Zhu Yongxiao recognized it as a pony, coughed dryly, and then led the way. Zhu Yongxiao took Xiao Ma to Liang Tianshu's room, closed the door and entered the basement in the dark before turning on the light, and introduced the general situation. "Little Zhu, why did Comrade Nightingale disappear?" Xiao Ma couldn't help asking. "Maybe it was detained by Li Zizhong." Zhu Yong's novel. "How could this happen!" Xiao Ma was very surprised. "Li Zizhong is timid. He realized that we would attack Su Zitong. He was worried that he would not explain to Zhang Zui, so he made such a move." "This Li Zizhong is really incomprehensible. Why did you ask me to come?" "We must kill Su Zitong tonight. If Zhang Zui comes over tomorrow, the consequences will be disastrous." "For the safety of Primrose, I can only do this. I'm not familiar with the situation here, so I'll follow your arrangement on how to act." Xiao Ma took out a pistol from his pocket as he spoke. "Wait." Zhu Yong said, and left the basement, and he came back after a while, and brought a set of military uniforms to Xiao Ma, "Put it on." Xiao Ma put on the military uniform, and Zhu Yongxiao immediately turned off the lights , whispered: "Come with me, let's go in through the back door, there is a backlight, there is only one guard, is there a dagger?" "Bring".The pony patted his waist. "Very good, kill the guards first, and then you will be responsible for the cover, and I will go into the house to execute." Zhu Yong novelized his action plan. Zhu Yongxiao took the pony to the family area under the shade of the trees. He pointed to the house guarded by several guards and whispered: "Here, this is the front door, we are going to the back door." There is a fence in the backyard of the family area, and there are dense miscellaneous trees growing inside the fence. Coupled with the cover of the house in front, it looks eerie at the moment. The two of them stuck to the wall and came to the back door to hide. When the environment was able to see the target clearly, the two couldn't help being stunned - there were twice as many guards at the back door as there were at the front door... "They have been prepared for a long time, what should we do?" Xiao Ma asked Zhu Yongxiao's ear. "Retire, wait until dawn to make arrangements." Zhu Yong's novel. As soon as it was dawn, Lin Mulang came to the mobile room, and the guard stood at attention from a long distance away. Lin Mulang patted the guard on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, where is your platoon leader?" "Here! Good morning, Chief of Staff." Pan Yiliang stood up from the temporary bunk on the eaves, rubbing his sleepy eyes, as if he hadn't woken up yet. "Platoon Leader Pan has worked hard, how is the situation?" Lin Mulang asked pretending to be concerned. "Report to the Chief of Staff. The situation is fine. Company Commander Su is still sleeping. I'll wake him up immediately." Pan Yiliang yawned again and again. "There's no need to wake him up. Bring him to the division commander's office when the reveille sounded." Lin Mulang said. "Chief of Staff, you went out last night. The teacher asked me to find you." Pan Yiliang remembered something. "What does he want from me?" "I don't know." Pan Yiliang shook his head. Lin Mulang didn't ask any more questions, and said: "Everyone, do your best and stick to the last shift. It will be nothing for you to bring him to the division commander's office later." Lin Mulang comforted the tired guards. Xiao Ma had just put on his military uniform when he heard a dry cough from outside the window.He put the gun in his pocket, opened the door, and Zhu Yongxiao walked in. "Have you rested yet?" Zhu Yongxiao asked with concern. "Sleep well." Pony yawned and massaged his temples. Zhu Yongxiao took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "It will take 20 minutes for the wake-up call to sound. That's the best time for us to start. I went to investigate. The guards have been guarding all night and it is the most tired time." "Is there anything unusual there?" "I can't see it. Lin Mulang has just been there, so it is estimated that there will be no changes." Zhu Yong wrote. "Master, I've interrupted your rest by coming here so early to ask for instructions." Lin Mulang closed the door of the office and sat down under Li Zizhong. "It's okay, it's almost time to get up anyway." Li Zizhong covered his mouth and yawned. "It's like this, Zhang Zui called before dawn, saying that he came to visit you early in the morning." Lin Mulang said. "He's too polite." Li Zizhong pinched his temples with both hands, forcing himself to wake up as soon as possible. "He was very worried and afraid of accidents. He said that he had a dream last night that the Communist Party hijacked Company Commander Su, so he called before dawn and asked me to go to the mobile room to have a look." "When are they coming?" Li Zizhong finally woke up. "Hurry up, they are driving over, and I have already told the gate guard room to let them go." "You did the right thing." Before Li Zizhong finished speaking, the phone on the desk rang. He grabbed the receiver and said "yes" a few times, then hung up, "Chief Lin, Zhang Zui is here, you go to the university. Meet them at the door, and I will immediately notify Platoon Leader Pan to bring Su Zitong over." "I don't need to be notified by the teacher, I have already told the platoon leader Pan." Lin Mulang said. As soon as Lin Mulang went out, the wake-up call sounded. Before the long lingering sound ended, the barracks was filled with the sound of passwords one after another, making the whole barracks boil... The uneven password sound lasted for more than ten seconds.Suddenly, several gunshots came from these chaotic sounds... Li Zizhong was startled, and had a premonition that something serious had happened. Not long after, I saw Pan Yiliang rushing to report. "Master, Master, something happened, Company Commander Su..." Li Zizhong followed Pan Yiliang to the mobile room without saying a word.At the scene of the accident, Su Zitong was already dead in a pool of blood... Not far away were the corpses of two soldiers, one was Zhu Yongxiao, the squad leader of the security company, and the other was a stranger... "Master, I didn't complete the task, so I ask for punishment." Pan Yiliang said with his head down. "What's going on here?" Li Zizhong asked. "Following Chief of Staff Lin's instructions, we brought Company Commander Su out when we blew the reveille, but not long after we left, we saw a strange soldier rushing towards us and shot Company Commander Su twice in the chest... We couldn't defend ourselves, so we rushed up to catch the strange soldier and handed over his gun. Then something even more unexpected happened. When we didn't understand what was going on, Squad Leader Zhu shot and killed the stranger. Then commit suicide..." At this time, all departments of the government were doing morning exercises, and almost no one noticed what happened in the secluded family area. Li Zizhong looked around and found that there were no outsiders except these trusted guards, so he ordered: "Hide the corpses of strangers." Get up, and say that during the escort, Company Commander Su took Squad Leader Zhu’s gun and committed suicide by taking advantage of his surprise, and Squad Leader Zhu shot himself for fear of being responsible, do you understand?” "Understood!" Everyone said in unison. "This matter must not be disclosed to the outside world, and anyone who leaks the news will be questioned!" Li Zizhong dropped a sentence and left. Pan Yiliang ordered his men to carry away the stranger's body, and then hurriedly set up the suicide scene. Zhang Zui and his party were sitting in the office, Lin Mulang enthusiastically poured tea for everyone, then guarded Xiangxue and asked this and that, without even hearing Zhang Zui's dry cough. "Chief Lin, why hasn't your division commander come over yet?" Zhang Zui asked impatiently. "Soon, he might take someone there himself." Lin Mulang said, turning his eyes away from Chu Xiangxue. While talking, Li Zizhong walked into the office. He went straight to Zhang Zui and stretched out his hands: "Are you Team Leader Zhang?" "I'm Zhang Zui, I've admired Mr. Li for a long time. Has anyone brought it?" Zhang Zui held Li Zizhong's hands. "Unfortunately, Company Commander Su - committed suicide..." Everyone was shocked. "What the hell is going on?!" Lin Mulang asked loudly. Zhang Zui was the first to react, and said, "Go, let's go and see the scene!" Li Zizhong was sitting in the study with a tearful expression, smoking a cigarette, and Fei Yuting walked in.Asked: "Self-respect, Zhang Zui and the others left?" "Already gone." Li Zizhong exhaled a long string of smoke. "What do they think about this?" "It can't be seen on the surface, but there must be his thoughts in his heart." Li Zizhong snuffed out his cigarette butt, and sighed, "I thought Liang Tianshu would be fine if he locked him up, but something went wrong. It seems that I underestimated Jiangnan City too much." underground party." "The Communist Party is about to cross the Yangtze River. Our affairs should be planned early. The nature of the time is different. Acting early is called an uprising, and acting after the soldiers approach the city is called surrender. The treatment is very different," Fei Yuting said. . "I know, it seems that I should have a good talk with Liang Tianshu." Li Zizhong stood up. "Is Liang Tianshu really a Communist?" Fei Yuting asked. Li Zizhong looked at his wife and was speechless for a while. Zhang Zui sat on the chair in a disturbed mood, while Chu Liyan lingered outside the door for a while and finally walked in. "Team leader, do you believe that Su Zitong committed suicide?" Chu Liyan sat down beside Zhang Zui. "It doesn't make any sense to talk about this issue now. Commander Chu, do you have anything else to do?" At this moment, Zhang Zui desperately wanted to be alone. "This..." Chu Liyan hesitated to speak, then looked around. Li Ruyou, Ding Yixin, and Chu Xiangxue understood, and the three got up and left.There was silence in the house for a while, Zhang Zui said, "Stop talking?" "There is a question I want to ask Team Leader Zhang—Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. If this happens to me, how should I make a choice..." Chu Liyan finally mustered up the courage to speak out. Zhang Zui was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood, and said, "This matter is actually very easy to deal with, as long as we weigh which one is more serious, which one is bigger and which one is smaller." "I understand the truth, but I am a human being who grew up eating whole grains." Chu Liyan said painfully. "Yes, people have seven emotions and six desires, among which family affection and love are two important parts of life. But if you only live for these, you should not come out. It is also a good way to live in your hometown. But you are not a farmer in the countryside, you are the head of the Kuomintang Gendarmerie and a member of the military command -- especially your latter status gives you the responsibility to take the interests of the country as your own responsibility. In the case of loyalty and filial piety, you must choose the former. You have no choice!" "Man'e knows that Su Zitong is hiding in the Independent Division." Chu Liyan looked at Zhang Zui and said. "I'd be surprised if she didn't know." Zhang Zui said calmly. "Also, she asked me to get Su Zitong and hand it over to her, but I didn't agree." Chu Liyan finally said all he wanted to say, feeling relieved instantly. The room fell silent again.After a long time, Zhang Zui said calmly: "Let this matter pass by, and treat Su Zitong as a real suicide. In the past, we suffered from being too serious. This happened to fall into the trap of the Communist Party, which made us dizzy and confused. , while the most important ones are ignored.” "The team leader is right. I also feel exhausted." Chu Liyan echoed. "I'm very happy with Commander Chu. I finally found a bosom friend in Jiangnan City. The party and the state will surely win the final victory with loyal ministers like us!" Zhang Zui stretched out a hand. Chu Liyan held Zhang Zui's hand tightly with both hands, and said excitedly: "Leader, I am touched by your attitude. When I think about it, I misunderstood you in the past. Not only did you not care about it, but you also tolerated me again and again." "I used to be a very conceited person. I have experienced a lot of things to make me understand a truth-there is no perfect individual in this world, only the most perfect team. Even if Monkey King has the ability to go to the sea, there is no Zhu Bajie and Drifting's assistance. He'll get nowhere. It's now certain that we have a Communist Party within us—and finding him would be impossible without your help." "Captain, what can I do for you?" "No rush, I'll have a good talk with you when everyone calms down." Zhang Zui smiled confidently.
