Chapter 46 Chapter 45 Remnants
Nineteen years after Bruce Lee accidentally took Equagesic (a combination of compound aspirin and melaanine, which has antidepressant effects) and died suddenly, I unexpectedly had the same feeling as my boyhood in the last scene of "Jing Fu Men" A very different impression at first glance.
Bruce Lee jumped up and rushed towards the camera, and there was a burst of firecracker-like gunshots around him. The movie ended on the frame where he never fell. "Chen Zhen"—a fictional hero—must have died.However, in another 8cm documentary shot along with the film, of course Bruce Lee was not shot to death randomly, nor was he condensed in mid-air; it was 100% in line with Newton's laws of physics, he fell (and according to the audience's imagination, he must The last kick that he would have struggled to kick was never kicked), and fell on the fake stone tiles pre-paved by the set staff.Bruce Lee wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose with his thumb, took a short rest, and prepared to shoot the next shot.
The so-called next shot, on the contrary, is a scene that appeared earlier in the film that was edited and released to the public, that is, the hero "Chen Zhen" yelled at Jia Yong with his muscles in the hall, plus a short run-up, crossing a Cutting the high threshold and running towards the courtyard.
Is it because of the smoothness of the camera positioning operation to shoot in reverse chronological order?I don't know.However, in that eight-centimeter documentary, we saw Bruce Lee drinking water from a thermos cup. The shot of guns firing and white smoke coming out of the muzzle (this shot was cut out again in the released version), and then turned 180 degrees, preparing to shoot the clip of Bruce Lee yelling and running out.At this time, the narration of Bruce Lee's original voice spoke in English with a strong Cantonese accent: "My movement is the result of your movement. My technique is the result of your technique. Total fighting freedom is what my style all about. It 's actually not style."
When I remembered this documentary about Bruce Lee again, I was already on a train going south, and there were five people sitting scattered in the car—except for me and Big Brother, and his three who seemed reluctant , Sleepy-eyed apprentices-no matter you call them "technician" or even "factory manager" at this time, they will not talk to you.Roughly speaking, we sit in a plum blossom formation.I was in the center, and the big brother was in the window three rows away from the right rear, and those three occupied the other three windows respectively. Movement behind.This is very embarrassing, because the eyes of the three of us will always meet unexpectedly when we deliberately avoid it.Since the four eyes cannot help but exchange, I can feel how boring and helpless the other party is to "escort" me this journey under the bossy order of the big brother, and how dare to be angry and dare not speak up.So I had no choice but to lower my head and take out Gao Yang's stack of manuscripts to read.
I didn't pay special attention to the model of the train I was on. I only know that it does not stop at any station, and from time to time there will be situations where it is necessary to stop and give way.It should be passing somewhere near Zhunan, but our train stopped in the wilderness for half an hour.I thus finished reading a thick manuscript, only to feel that every joint in my body was like that after being rectified by Sun Xiaoliu in the Youth Park, suddenly falling off and joining in an instant When he went back, he also made a sound of "chi chi ka ka".
At this moment, I recalled "Fist of Fury" and the documentary that exposed the real shooting operation - not just because the joints snapped and looked like Bruce Lee; the more accurate and profound reason was: I began to face a Problems in writing - how to write out only one picture in mind?After it is written, "City-State Violence" should be a movie like "Fist of Fury", or a documentary that profiles Bruce Lee?The reason I was so troubled was that I imagined the fictional plot to be like a well-edited Fist of Fury that unfolded in time, but with a mediocre story, weak tension, and thin, rigid emotions.However, on the other hand, the real materials I faced were strange, weird, and full of vivid details beyond the scope of experience and common sense; but these real materials were not obtained by me according to the passage of time ——Many of the events that happened earlier did not reveal their appearance until I read Gao Yang’s manuscript carefully. The director, who was connected to the feature film, let "Chen Zhen" with a blood-red "final" on his chest fall to the ground, wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose with his thumb, walked into the hall, and prepared to face the door. The gun array that was emitting gunpowder smoke outside the wall shouted angrily...
I'm afraid it was during the almost eternal waiting period in the wilderness near Zhunan that I decided to copy Gao Yang's manuscript into the plot.It is also because of the huge size and messy content of this manuscript that it is too difficult to copy; I had to choose to filter it out and cut it out, expressing homesickness, worrying about the country, and slandering academics and officials. cowardly chapter.It can be seen that Gao Yang's writing is often hidden in the branches and vines, making readers feel like looking at flowers through the fog for the first time, and see the sun behind the clouds when they read it again. Discussions and even personal emotions are actually used to adjust the plot and create "interspersed hidden flashes" interesting condiments.Even so, I still had to streamline and delete, and it is a pity that I copied it.The following is Gao Yang's article, the original is also untitled, and I call it "residual manuscript"——
Gao Yang's manuscript
I can't remember how many years ago, while reading books and newspapers, I occasionally realized something, but time passed and the situation changed, and I was often at a loss; sometimes when I wrote a manuscript, I felt that I had a certain opinion on a certain matter and took it seriously. How about this view?But every time I don't reflect on my memory, I often regret it, so I write "hands-on", wanting to correct my mistakes, but I can't stand the sketches of Xie Lu Yixi, I wrote six articles, and then gave up.
"Suishou" can be regarded as a whole. It is a term used by the military aircraft Zhangjing of the Qing Dynasty.
One night, I had a drink with Zhou Qigong, Shen Yungong, Xu Gaogong, and Zhang Fogong, and I heard Zhou Qigong say "a joke about the county magistrate". The magistrate of a certain county received an order, and Zhao's father and the new official's son closed their households and secretly negotiated how to make money while in office.At that time, the county magistrate was also in charge of the judiciary, and the County Government’s Office of Receipt and Receipt was a very lucrative gateway.So he came up with the idea of changing his surname, letting the old man assume his surname Qian and rent out his mansion, so that neither of them would recognize the relationship between father and son.The old man was able to run the golden house by himself, and added extra money. Naturally, he was not comfortable in the house, and even hired a local prostitute.When the old lady heard the news, she immediately ordered her son to withdraw from Lao Tzu's job.But if he withdraws his job, wouldn't he also cut off the way of oil and water?The old lady had no choice but to compromise, but insisted that the old man go back to the mansion and go to the room after get off work.The old man had no choice but to wait for the county government staff to leave every day. After seeing that there was no one around, he slipped into the back and hid in the old lady's room.Unexpectedly, one day he lost his temper and taught a new guard on duty to be chased by a thief by mistake, but was caught on the old lady's bed in the end.The next day, rumors spread in the tea house and wine shop: the old lady of the county magistrate is still stealing men at such a young age——to send and receive money.
It's just a joke; after Xi left, Xu Gaogong and I were in the car, and said: "The story of the abandoned son is not a joke, but it is true. Do you remember that you were a scene under the command of Uncle Wang, and there was a man called Tian Zhongwu's personal entourage? This person is the guard who seized the "money sending and receiving". That time, a big mistake was made, and the mission was also ruined, but he changed his luck; he went up the river and went to Nanchang. Guoer is very different. This person is now in Taipei and runs a dumpling shop in Yiyue. The business is doing very well, so we have to go and taste it together.”
It was originally a gossip, but Xu Gaogong did not discuss it in depth-how did Tian Zhongwu change his luck when he went to Nanchang?What kind of different encounters have there been?By the time I visited Tian Zhongwu and ate his Shandong-style hand-rolled leek and pork dumplings, Xu Gaogong had passed away.Here I have to add an old story and experience I first met with Tian Zhongwu when General Wang Shuming was the commander-in-chief.In the forty-sixth year of the Republic of China, I worked as a captain clerk at the Okayama Air Force Academy. According to my old friend Wei Ziyun, I went north to serve in the Office of the Chief of Staff Headquarters, and thus met Tian Zhongwu.This person was originally from Laiyang, Shandong, and he was born in the north and Nan Xiang. He was short in stature.One day I joked with him: "Your stature is so big, how can you keep the boss?" Tian Zhongwu replied with a smile: "I don't dare to learn from Yan Pingzhong's driver, so I have to live in low life—since it is a job that is born and died, nothing is life. His life is "short"." His quick response and cleverness in speaking are not like a martial artist.I was amazed by what he said, so I made friends with him; only then did I know that he was recommended by a Li Zizheng from the presidential palace.And Zhongwu possesses unique skills and the courage to fly yellow and stone. Although he is shorter, he really hides his secrets.I and Tian Zhongwu have different subordinates and duties, but time has passed, and it took more than a year before I realized that he really has kung fu - he can suck an empty wine bottle with one palm, and stick another to the bottom of the bottle. The mouth of the bottle is so repeated that it can reach seven or eight.Xi Zhongwu is short, so he can't sell this skill unless he climbs the table; I only saw him once when he was drunk.
Not long after Xu Gaogong returned to Daoshan, I learned from my gluttonous friend Tang Lusun that Tian Zhongwu had opened the "Tian Weng Dumpling House" in Zhulin City, and I drove there to visit, and I met my old friend again. The dumplings of "Tian Weng" are good because the stuffing is sticky and soft, and the dough is even and firm; the inside is not greasy, and the outside is not slippery. It is by no means comparable to ordinary products from famous stores.I chewed dozens of them, and I realized that their goodness must be related to Tian Zhongwu's boxing skills, so I was eager to inquire about the reason.He slowly told me: "It is indeed caused by the fire in the palm."
It turned out that his brother got into trouble in the Zhaozhi County Yamen, and he couldn't get along anymore. He heard that there was a youth regiment recruited in the "Nanchang Camp", so he took a small boat back to the river and joined the army. Unexpectedly The "camping" missions are still guards.
One day, an order came suddenly, to find a Lian family son to take care of He Zhonghan's affairs.Tian Zhongwu was eager to show something, so he should go now.Unexpectedly, He's official business was to beat someone—the man was imprisoned in an office, and he beat him up, but he was not angry or resisted, and instead taught him a set of boxing techniques.In the future, that person somehow became He's thigh and stayed in the "camp" to listen to him, so he also made friends with Tian Zhongwu.After a while, Fei just talked about some anecdotes from the past and the present to benefit his mind; he also taught him a set of mental methods to help improve his martial arts.That person was Li Shouwu who later recommended Tian Zhongwu to Wang Shuming.I knew that Tian Zhongwu was honest and honest, not a liar, so I became curious about Li Shouwu.
According to Tian Zhongwu's description, it seems that Li Shouwu was not willing to be used by the "Lixing Society", which can be seen from a small incident.It was about the 21st year of the Republic of China, and Li Shouwu stayed in the "Nanchang camp", which was like house arrest.Most of the time, he stays at home and only reads documents in the planning department.Every two or three days, He Zhonghan would go to knock on the door, and the two would have a private conversation for a few moments.Since Tian Zhongwu took care of the routine serving tea and meals, and occasionally accompanying Li Shouwu to wander around the nearby markets, and even finding a bathhouse to take a bath, Tian Zhongwu took care of them. Out of Li's depression.
One day, He Zhonghan came again for an hour or two of secret business. Zhong Wu was waiting to exchange tea for the two of them. He Zhonghan was about to go out when he turned around and said: "The "Generalissimo" has his own plan. I can't keep them both." After He left, Li Shouwu asked Zhongwu to come in, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to Zhongwu, "Can I ask you to give Zhang Luo something?"
What Li Shouwu wanted were a few writing brushes of different sizes and shapes, a roll of rice paper and dyes of various colors.In Zhong Wu's view, these few things were quite common, and they did not violate the safety regulations of "camping", so they were prepared immediately.And Li Shouwu Guozhen just bent over his desk and started painting without sleep; during this period, he worked for about two days and nights.
After all, Zhong Wu was born as a farmer, and he neither knows copywriting nor painting, but only knows that in the painting there are two ancient men sitting opposite each other, and a large area of trees, trees and rocks.After the painting was completed, I don't know what Li Shouwu did with it, and Zhongwu didn't pay much attention to it.Another day later, He Zhonghan suddenly ran over with a panicked expression—it seemed that he was in a hurry and couldn't send Zhongwu away, so he blurted out and said to Li Shouwu: "Dai Li has a spy, saying that the "Generalissimo" was almost assassinated." ! It is rumored that Feng Yuxiang was the envoy."
Li Shouwu replied calmly: "This matter should have been turned into a breeze?" "How can you know if you stay at home every day?"
"That day when I first entered your "campaign", didn't that Mr. Ju say: "Mr. Dai sent a telegram and told me to go to Nanjing with the beggar on a business trip"? Let me ask: what kind of a business trip do you need to ask two trainees? The family set off in a hurry, and left the subordinate just like that? Besides, what a shrewd person is Mr. Dai? If the matter had not been resolved, how could there be a report that the "Generalissimo" was almost assassinated?"
He Zhonghan seemed to be relieved when he heard the words, and only then did he catch a glimpse of Zhong Wu standing aside, about to swing him away, but Li Shouwu went on to say: "He Gong should really be worried, but Mr. Ju and Xing Fushuang !" "Oh? How do you say that?"
"Mr. Riju also said that day: "After finishing this job, I may be able to make a trip to Tai'an, Shandong. Then he said: "Do you still remember that I said that the beggar has a mechanism on his body, and its value is no less than a hundred thousand soldiers?" "Dare to ask Mr. He: Mr. Dai Ju won the precious mechanism that is "no less than a hundred thousand men", how should he be in front of Mr. Dai and even the "Generalissimo"?" He Zhonghan pondered at this moment, He paced back and forth in the room for a while without saying a word.
It was Li Shouwu who spoke up: "If Mr. He can trust me, I'd like to take a trip and break the mechanism of the beggar, so as to avoid the secret tricks of the rivers and lakes - being abused and misused by foolish people, which will inevitably make people miserable. This- —I’m afraid it’s also the belief that Mr. He emphasized in "Yide Ji": "The purpose of the revolutionary war lies in non-war"?"
He Zhonghan was relieved when he heard that Li Shouwu brought out his own writings and articles, and he hurriedly asked: "How can you, a scholar with no strength, deal with their masters? Don't you need me to send more young and strong military guards? Do you want to go with you?"
"When there are too many people, why don't you ask Mr. Dai to pay more attention?"
It was probably at this time that Zhong Wu taught He Zhonghan to be sent out, so the following words will not be heard.All I know is that two days later, Li Shouwu was about to leave for business in the north, and He Zhonghan ordered Zhongwu to pack his bags.Zhongwu ordered two boxes and one basket of clothes for Li Shouwu, and Li Shouwu asked him for two paper envelopes—one with the painting in it, and one with the photos that seemed to have been prepared.Li Shouwu even told Zhongwu on the platform of the station: "It must be difficult for you to live a thousand miles away and leave your hometown. These clothes have the right to go, and they can be pawned or sold. It is up to you: if you get money, you can buy it." People say: "It is always good to read the book." After saying this, Li Shouwu suddenly raised his head, pointed at the wooden beam above the platform and shouted: "Swallow." It looked along the trend and saw a swallow's nest on the high beam, with five baby swallows protruding out of a row, with white eyebrows and black heads, horned and beaked, waiting for the mother swallow to come back to feed.During this moment of distraction, Li Shouwu didn't know what trick Li Shouwu used. He flicked lightly at Zhongwu's dantian. Warm and cold air flow, like a ball the size of an orange emerges from the cavity and intestines, spinning rapidly.
"My brother, if you feel anxious, go to the toilet as soon as possible. Let's leave now, and you don't have to send me to the car." Li Shouwu waved his hand with a smile. Lifting the cage and rushing to the public toilet next to the station, it was dark and dark, but since then, he has become light and agile, as if he has lost five or seventy catties of fat.
After this farewell, Zhong Wu's internal strength has made great progress.Since I don't like martial arts, I can't explain why.However, in addition to seeing Zhong Wu's miraculous skills in smoking wine bottles, he has also seen him kneading dough, which is quite worth remembering.
Kneading dough by others seems to be extremely labor-intensive and labor-intensive. Even in the severe winter, they often knead profusely and sweat profusely.Du Zhongwu kneads noodles like Gong Jin playing the piano, he is leisurely and unrestrained, not like cooking.But he saw that he poured a few catties of flour on the stand, which bulged like a mountain, and dug a hole for water with his hands, which looked like a lagoon.Then scoop up several handfuls of powder and cover it, and immediately hold a piece of white gauze and lightly cover it, and rub it with two palms a few inches apart, but no inch of skin touches the flour.For about three to five minutes, the powder dust under the gauze fluttered and fell like a rain of cherry blossoms, sticking to flakes the size of petals, and then the gauze was also uncovered and concealed.After a while, the flakes grew more and more, and the squares and circles gradually widened, until they became as straight as a copper plate. Zhong Wu's movements became more and more gentle, but within a few seconds, the original lines of the seams of the scales disappeared, and the flour with jagged peaks and corners disappeared. The pile has also become a round and smooth mound.Looking back at Zhongwu, not only was his face not flushed, he was not out of breath, but he was not sweating, and he didn't stick to powder.I laughed and said: "Watching Your Excellency kneading noodles is like watching a beautiful woman comb her hair. Only then will I know how to handle a cow with ease." Zhong Wu's internal strength is so profound, and he is willing to do things in the public eye, so Gao Yang had to give his thumbs up. , Praise a "good man".It's a pity that after I met Zhong Wu again several times, one day, suddenly, a greedy worm started thinking about his dumplings, so I brought a bottle of Old Parr whiskey to visit him, and wanted to ask him to satisfy his greed, but Zhong Wu refused. The door is closed, and the house has moved to the central region for development.
He left without saying goodbye, and my loss is not only the lack of appetite, but also the confusion of melancholy.What kind of entanglements did Li Shouwu have during the "Nanchang Camp"?This is about to start with other details.
Zhou Qigong was mentioned before in the article, and these details are also related to Qigong.Mr. Zhou Qizi learned from the feudal clan, and signed his own unburied nunnery. In his later years, he did not sign up for the medicine house. In the article "Mr.Qi Gongyun: "Pu Wangsun's poems on paintings, the first Wangchuan, are nothing more than fake Tang poems. I chatted with him once, and I told him the truth; he also admitted that he said he also has real things, but it is inconvenient to show others. , and then read two sentences to me: "A hundred deaths still leave Zhongxiao in / Late at night to listen to ghosts and gods. ""
That article talked about the theory of abandoning public poetry, so it is not convenient to discuss other things in parallel.In fact, Qigong's appreciation of Chinese painting is also very sophisticated. He once held a comment: "Most modern paintings are fake. Painters imitate mountains and rivers, rub stones and point clouds, and often wear robes, boots, and sticks. Those who cross the bridge with a stick look proudly at the crags, as if they are looking for a hidden place that has never been encountered; but in the secluded stream of the dangerous peak, there are several thatched huts and a corner pavilion. Who is the seeker? Who is the hermit? , the pen and brush are sparse and hard to the bone, and it is the true temperament."
The "Shocked Crow" mentioned by Qigong here is Fang Lian, whose name is Fengwu, nicknamed Ganli Jushi, and also known as Mr. Jingyao; , knowledge, art theory.Because of Zhou Qigong's praise and reminder, I read this old work carefully a few times, such as reading Bao Shichen's "A Boat of Art", which is profound and romantic, and it is really interesting; The "Wonderful Painting of the Miraculous Doctor Fang Fengwu" written by the student Wan Yanfang also aroused interest.
One day, at the invitation of Wang Xingong, I went to the mansion to test dishes. There were Zhang Fogong, Chu Ge, Ding Wang and a Mr. Wei whom I had never met.The dish I tried that day was called "Tao Sibao", which is said to have come from the recipes handed down by famous chefs in Kaifeng's "Songdu Restaurant".After drinking for three rounds, the "Set of Four Treasures" was served. It was served in a Jingdezhen blue and white fine porcelain soup basin. When I opened the lid, I saw that it was a steaming whole duck with the head and tail complete. The meat was soft and smooth. ,Fat and not greasy.After eating the duck meat, another whole chicken that was fragrant and well-cooked appeared.After eating the chicken, there was a pigeon in it, and there was actually a whole quail hidden in the belly of the whole pigeon, stuffed with sea cucumbers, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots.
After chewing on the case, naturally everyone praised it.Wang Xingong said: "The food list and craftsmanship are not as far as the kitchen can see, but this brother Wei takes care of it himself-come, come, Uncle Hui, tell me about this "set of four treasures" Good point."
It turns out that Mr. Wei is the well-known veteran Wei Yizheng.It is said that this person once served as a counselor to the central government and dealt with secrets. Unfortunately, he had repeated disagreements with "Jin Shang" on the strategy of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and was gradually suppressed; Sensual days.Every time the speaker said: "Wei San's value in the National University is the vote not to vote for the "old man" as president." His own name "Baili Wenxiang" is even more crazy.When it comes to the "set of four treasures", it is really clever and interesting.
"This dish in Songdu was bought by me with another dish, so I won't talk about it for now." Wei Sanye didn't move his chopsticks from the beginning to the end, but talked about the allusions of the dish, but he talked endlessly: ""Set four The exquisiteness of "treasure" is to combine four whole poultry wrapped in layers, and combine the four flavors of duck, chicken, pigeon and wild quail in one pot; the difficulty lies in how to Remove the bones and leave the flesh, this is called "demolition". The idle cooks don't know how to disassemble, and the skin and flesh will be broken as soon as they are removed. The disassembled shelves have to be cooked in another pot until the bones are rotten. When it melts, it becomes the soup base. It took me eight years to practice this technique of "dismantling the frame";
"This is just a skillful workmanship, but the advantage of "Set of Four Treasures" is not in this aspect. Just imagine: for a living four-flavored whole poultry, ducks are the most stupid, chickens are light and healthy, and pigeons are the most clumsy. It is even more unruly, and the quail is the most frivolous and lively, but it is imprisoned in the innermost layer. The cook who invented this dish must have a feeling that cannot be tolerated, hating the wildness of the world as a fool's cage, so he came up with this After a lot of tossing - the most profound thing is the meaning of "dismantling". Don't you see: how to teach people to subdue wildness and be willing to be imprisoned by fools? It's very simple, "boneless" is enough! No more Bones, even if they make compromises, they can only be eaten in a dish after all."
Having said this in a fit of breath, he sat with his palms together and sighed, saying that the "Tao Four Treasures" are not only delicious, but also have something to make people understand.But the first and second Master Wei changed the subject, and continued: "However, an old friend of mine did not explain it. He said: "Why don't you say: the more stupid you are, the more you have to be big-bellied? "According to my old friend's explanation, all the princes who are busy and occupy high temples are stupid and clumsy, but they really need a few folds in their belly."
All the guests laughed again, and I felt a little respect for Wei Sanye, so I said: "Listening to the king's words is better than reading three days of books; but I still don't understand three things, so I must ask for advice. Dare Ask the third master what kind of dish he used in exchange for this food list craftsmanship? This is the first. The third master has never tasted a "set of four treasures" from the beginning to the end, but why? This is the second. I heard the third master talk about that old friend , must also be a wise and thoughtful person, but I don't know who it is, can I ask the third master to tell me? This is the third."
"I have heard for a long time that Gao Yang always asks questions about everything, as expected丨" Wei Sanye replied very frankly.The recipe for the original transaction is very simple, it is a "vegetarian roasted oriole".Wei Sanye suggested to the chef in Songdu: Sea cucumbers, fragrant chains, and bamboo shoots in the belly of quails have their own flavors, but once you eat the fourth layer, it is actually full of loose vegetables, which is a little bit ugly.Why not wrap the plain roasted oriole into the core, and wait for the diners to find the texture, and then get another surprise, which turns the "set of four treasures" into "set of five treasures".As to why it is the Four Treasures instead of the Five Treasures tonight, Wei Sanye replied solemnly: "Since you have already given it to others, why should you think of yourself again? This "set of five treasures" is a unique dish in the capital of Song Dynasty, so I can't do it." invaded."
Regarding the section about the homemade special dishes, but never stretched his muscles, Wei Sanye turned to Wang Xingong and said: "Mr. Xinheng knows about it—"
The words seemed unbroken and unfinished, but Wang Xingong hurriedly said: "Gao Yang's second and third questions, the answers are all in the paper bag next to the footstool in the porch, after Xier is over, you can take them back to taste. Stop the taste."
The paper bag had obviously been prepared a long time ago, and inside it was a bottle of old wine and two idle books, namely "The Wonderful Painting of Fang Fengwu by the Miraculous Doctor" and "Food Virtue and Painting" - the latter was written by Wei Sanye.At that time, I lived in a small room in the circle of Ren'ai Road, which was only a stone's throw away from Wang Xingong's mansion. In fact, it was an introduction for me and Wei Sanye. Perhaps Ye Lai’s meal was ordered by Wei Sanye, and its purpose was clearly written on the title page of "Food Virtue and Painting": "Brother Gao Yang reveals the truth and explores the truth." ".
Jiedi Tanzhen is a pun, one of which is contained in "Shide and Painting", referring to a pair of silver tendons made by Wei Sanye himself - one named "Jiedi" and the other The name "Tanzhen" - the chopsticks made by the old gluttons, naturally has its intention to try something new, let alone; as for the other meaning of the seven-character inscription, it should be the content contained in the two books , for me to investigate the truth and reveal its concealment.Kui Zhuping said, there are many readers who have written for me, or express their aspirations, or reveal their secrets. precious.These two books by Mr. Wei are indeed worthy of supplementing the secrets of modern politics.
Let me talk about the two questions I asked during the meeting first: the person who said "the more stupid the person is, the more he has to be big-bellied" is Wan Yanfang, the author of "The Wonderful Painting of Fang Fengwu by the Miracle Physician".At that time, Mr. Wei Sanye wandered around the country, looking for famous chefs everywhere, asking for recipes and recipes, and it can be said that he spent all his money.But because of this, he learned a lot of unique secret techniques.Especially during the War of Resistance Against Japan, many chefs who were displaced on the road did not hesitate to trade skills that have been passed down for hundreds of years for a full meal. "Food Virtue and Painting" records the author's experience of "studying" in detail. The seventy-two anecdotes of the book, experience and practical operation are described and portrayed in detail, which can be said to be a first-class novel.
Of course, apart from studying, how to make a living is also a problem.For Master Wei First and Second, this is not difficult.The book is frankly self-confessed!Once the panchuan was exhausted and the pockets were empty, he would go to a certain mansion of a certain important person to show off his cooking skills by relying on his long-standing reputation among the famous princes and great ministers of the country.It should be known that politicians are most afraid of people saying that he is ignorant, and they are most gratifying to listen to him showing off his knowledge and selling his skills. He is also the best at coercing money and taking advantage of opportunities to spy on learning and seeking skills. After getting drunk and full, I searched for some talk about "never tire of fine food, never tire of fine meat", and found that it is not just chicken, duck and fish that fill my stomach.Relying on the mentality of this elite class, Wei Sanye relied on the skills he acquired from the market and the kitchen, and went to the house of ringing bells and food tripods, and he was very comfortable.He and Wan Yanfang made an appointment because of this!The technique that I first learned about selling was the "Four Treasures". It was around 40 years ago in the Republic of China, when the national government had already moved to Taiwan, and the location must be in Taipei.On the contrary, Wan Yanfang's self-deprecating rhetorical remark of "Why don't you say: the more stupid you are, the more you have to be big-bellied?", made Wei Sanye look at him with admiration. Accepted.
Many years later, Wan Yanfang suddenly died. The matter was very secret and strange, and Wei Sanye no longer ate this dish. There is no dream; Boya's broken zither and Jizha's hanging sword all hurt those who leave the cable, and the love of the world, what is this called? Let’s hurt the meaning of the preface of the title, the so-called “sentiment of the end of the world”, which inevitably reminds me of the concluding sentence of "Cuilou Yin": "Battle wine to clear your sorrow/spend your heroic spirit/outside the west mountain/come late and return the volume / A Curtain of Autumn".
It seems that such a friendship can only be found in legendary novels, and it is absolutely difficult to find it in the real world.When I saw Wang Xingong again, I couldn't help but sigh.Wang Xingong was surprised and said: "You are so familiar with Zhou Qizi, didn't you hear him talk about Wei San going to Wan's family temple to have fun, but unexpectedly met a group of monsters, ghosts and snake gods, and made a life-and-death friendship?"
"I mostly talk about poetry and old stories with Qigong, but rarely talk about current people and current events—"
"Hey!" Wang Xingong sighed: "He is also acquainted with Li Shouwu. Li Shouwu compiled a book "Secret Society Since the Early Republic of China", which quoted a lot of martial arts history materials. Dafa also set up a lot of neat recaps for those martial arts history, such as "The Seven Heroes of the Black Pine Forest Allied Oath/Bai Taiguan San Fei Slayed the Dragon", "Gan Fengchi Picked Tumors and Swears" "It's all from his handwriting. That's not counting, he also used the pen name of "Yi Shishi" to write a lot of hymns for the old Cao Gang. Like the song "Jinjiang Changbi Jiang Shanqing/Yuan Rong got off the horse and asked about love/揖Zhang Yi’s gallbladder fate flag sacrifice/Smile and open the heart of the heart to carry the wine shop/Millions of silvers are so happy/8000 strong and brave alone/Sit alone and watch the Hengtang evening/Gloomy fame and clear eyes", use things properly, refine characters Shen Xiong, It can even be called a masterpiece. Such a naughty and proud thing, the abandoned son didn't reveal it to you?"
"Hey—I don't know."
Thanks to Wang Xingong's advice, I realized that it was not for nothing that Zhou Qigong attached great importance to Jingcrow's paintings.Perhaps it was because of his acquaintance with Wan and Li Zhi that he was able to get a glimpse of Fang Fengwu's art; perhaps it was because he admired Fang Fengwu's painting style and did not hesitate to discuss friendship with these people in the world as a great poet.As for Wei Sanye's offering of vegetables to the ancestral home of the Laocao Gang in Ningbo West Street, it is not known whether he intended to beat Feng.In short—according to Wang Xingong—the reason Wei Sanye was able to get close to Wan Yanfang was because of Li Shouwu.This is again due to the fact that Li and Wei came to Taiwan on the same boat, and there was such a scene of "meeting while leaning on the side of the ship".
It is said that the boat was approaching Keelung at that time, and Li Shouwu was leaning on the railing to read a book, but he hadn't turned a page for a long time, when someone behind him suddenly said: "My brother is really careful with his words, huh huh!"
When Li Shouwu turned his head, he saw that he was a big man who came from the same table and boat with him in Qingdao. He only knew his surname when he issued the visa by roll call. His name was Wei Yizheng; The strangely smiling face also froze suddenly - he was stunned when he saw the words in the book on Li Shouwu's palm.
"The owner of the book in your hand once promised me a posthumous meeting of 'the world is so big, we can meet everywhere'," Wei Yizheng said sadly: "Dare to ask your Excellency: Where is this Ouyang Qiu now? How did it get into your hands?"
Li Shouwu seemed also taken aback when he heard the words, he stared at the book in his hand with downcast face, thought for a while, then looked at Wei Guanzheng for a while, and then said: "If you are a disciple from the "Speaking Gongtan", you shouldn't ask such a question; If you are a practitioner who came here for this "Infinite Life Skill", you can take advantage of me just now when I was in a state of despair. I think there are people in the world who can recognize this book, recognize Ouyang Qiu, and be able to If it's so easy, I'm afraid there is only Wei Sanye alone."
"Don't dare, it's Wei San next." Wei Yi was shaking the silver chopsticks in his hand, casually pointed to several officers who were noisy not far behind, and said: "Listen to their roll call, Your Excellency is Mr. Li; In fact, we boarded the ship together from Qingdao on May 20th—” As he was speaking, Wei Yizheng suddenly noticed that Li Shouwu was slowly and quietly moving backwards, and at the same time, he was squinting and looking at him Signal him to walk in the direction of the bow.Sure enough, after walking more than ten feet away, Li Shouwu asked in a low voice: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly: since the third master also obtained the pass from Ouyang Kunlun, dare to ask the third master if he was given a separate certificate after boarding the boat?" Detained in a cabin, interrogated several times, until the night of the Duanyang Festival, was released again for no reason?"
"That's right. That day the soldiers sent two rice balls, pretending to be zongzi. They were so rough that they were hard to swallow; I threw them away when I turned around."
"What did they question? Can the third master tell me?"
"It's just a few sentences over and over again: ask about a person's wealth background, relatives in his hometown. Furthermore, how did he get on the ship? Where did he get a pass? What do he want to do after that? And so on, it's too disturbing. What? Li Have you been detained for a few days, sir?"
李绶武且不置可否，却益发压低了声，道：“依我看：自凡是跟着欧阳昆仑上船的都逃不过这一劫；且看那厢高谈阔论的四位、还有个瘸腿妇道和一个孩子，他们是老漕帮万砚方的家门亲眷，兴许没吃什么苦头，可是恐怕也一样给囚了些日子。至于三爷你方才调笑了半天的那位年少妇人——”
“此言差矣！此言差矣！”魏谊正忙不迭地摇手道：“是我看她孤身一人，面容愁苦，两眼含着老泪，才上前说几句笑话解颐。李先生说“调笑”，未免诞枉魏三了。”
“她是欧阳昆仑的妻房，眼下身怀六甲，万里飘泊，又好些天没见着丈夫了，试问：单凭三爷几句说笑，如何使之解颐？”
魏谊正闻听此言，一时惊心，连手上的银筷子都几乎捏不稳了，急道：“她、她是——唉！我却不知道呢！昆仑行事竟如此诡谲，居然连我也不说。”一面说着、一面扭身就要往回走，可袖口早教李绶武给掣住，但听李绶武蓦地迸出两句话来：“你这么一喳呼喧嚷，莫要害了他们孤儿寡母呢！”
魏谊正不觉心头一懔，暗自思忖起来：若称那怀有身孕的妇道是欧阳昆仑的妻室，又说什么“孤儿寡母”，则欧阳昆播想必已经身遭凶险——难道竟是这几天之间、发生在这条船上的事？念头还没转透澈，耳边又听李绶武嘱咐道：“那厢万老爷子几个兄弟伙儿都在，他们究竟是敌是友？于今也着实难以分清辨明。若非三爷与欧阳秋有旧——坦白说，我也不敢贸然跟三爷说长道短；不过，欧阳昆仑应该是遭逢不测了。下手的人是谁？我不曾亲眼窥见，不敢妄言；也正因如此，你我更须小心应付，以免蹈入奸人机栝才是。”说到这里，手里的一本《无量寿功》竟递了过来，李绶武的一张麻子脸也越发地哀凄惨悄了：“没想到此书竟是这般物归原主的。”
不意魏谊正捧起这书，在掌心上掂了掂，像是忽然涌起了抵挡不住的什么感慨，倒先滚落两滴泪水，哽咽道：“我同欧阳家父子两代论交，虽各祇一、二面之缘，原本也称不上什么隆情厚谊；祇此番承昆仑相邀，实指望到海角天涯游历些时日，品尝品尝南海之滨的（虫匡）脑鲎足、蟹子虾姑，孰料还碰上这般凶险蹊跷。”
“李某平日闲杂书，颇知三爷当年慨然将祖传神功赠与欧阳秋的一段佳话，却不知三爷同欧阳昆仑也有往来？”
这一段李、魏二人“倚舷晤”的故事才说到一半，王新公忽然面色凝重地摇起头来，边摇头边说道：“不对、不对。弃子不同你高阳讲必定有什么顾虑；他不同你讲，我也不同你讲；讲到不该讲的事情上，凶险蹊跷说不定就找上门来了。”
王新公的脾气饶是如此，任何人也莫奈之何。于我而言，当时的确如骨鲠在喉，颇有几分窒闷。不过，日久天长，却也淡忘了。直到民国七十六年一月五日，王新公谢世，不巧我人在香港，连最后一面都不曾见得。洎返国之后，又为了二月中要赴东瀛一游而赶写一批连载存稿，忙得不可开交。直到二月十五日清晨，临上飞机之前数刻，才偷闲至王新公灵前叩了三个头。辞出之际，未料却撞见了魏三爷。我看他虽然颁长高大、不减往昔：然而面容清癯、神情萧索，彷佛瘦了几许，便打趣道：“三爷竟然也有“衣带渐宽”之一日呢。”
“吟乔树之微风，飮高秋之坠露，人焉不痩哉？人焉不瘦哉？”魏三爷微哂着开了两句玩笑，即正色道：“高阳，这些日子上哪儿去了？听说你又要出国。”
我草草应诺，私心窃忖：他那两句“吟乔树之微风/飮高秋之坠露”分明是骆宾王〈在狱咏蝉〉诗序里的用语，当下不免一怵：如果他的话并非玩笑，则其意岂非正是在告诉我：“刚吃了一阵牢饭出来，能不痩吗？”
“我知你事忙，”魏三爷一面说着、一面俯身替我拎起两只行李箱，快步朝马路边趋走，并道：“然而兹事体大，不能不教你明白一个首尾——咱们路上谈。”
只见他健步如飞，走得十分轻捷，看上去一点儿也不像个八旬老翁。在仁爱路的红砖道旁，他似乎是刻意稍事观察，一直守候到第四辆出租车经过，才招手拦住，径自吩咐司机：“到桃园机场，出境。”
上车坐定，我忍不住问他：“三爷怎知我要出国？”
魏三爷笑了，沉吟道：“月前报载新衡先生在荣总去世，我就想：不知道高阳会不会前来吊唁？遂请一位能通天人之术的牢友拿你的姓字给算了一算，他说你老弟人在天涯，未必赶得回。偏偏狱中有本过期的文学杂志，正在召募读者组团东游日本，拿你老弟当招牌，号曰“随团作家”，订在今日起程。我那位牢友又给算了一算，说今天是正日子，你我当须一会。”
“三爷方才说兹事体大，究竟是什么事呢？”
“有这么一个朋友，想托人带那么一点儿东西——这是简单其说；我素知高阳老弟心细如发，必不以此说为惬心贵当，是以非面告详情不可。”
初听此言，我直觉以为：莫不是桩走私贩毒之类的勾当？登时应道：“带的若是寻常物事，何以非高阳不可？若非寻常物事，我岂能应命？”
“老弟别误会了——祇不过是一本书，明治年间刊印的《肉笔浮世绘》，绝非不法犯禁之物。”
魏三爷说得坦荡，眼神却不时留意着前座的司机；但见他顺手摇下车窗，让街头嗜杂零乱的车声、喇叭声略为掩护，才复附耳相告：“为什么请托于你，也不是没有缘故的；这就得往细处讲了——
“其一么，乃是因为你老弟读过几本书。我从你写的《金色昙花》、《粉墨春秋》和《清帮》这些个小说、丛谈里看得出来：你老弟显然对近百年来中国政局官场里的曲折隙积十分留心，谅必也参考过不少稗说野史；这些玩意儿非但不比官修正史为失眞，反而塡补了许多兰台大令所不能言、不敢言、甚至不知其可以为言的材料。我说的这几本书是《天地会之医术、医学与医道》、《上海小刀会沿革及洪门旁行秘本之研究》和《民初以来秘密社会总谱》。怎么样？魏三说得可对乎？”
我惊心之余，自然毋须否认，遂接了句双关之语：“三爷非但腹笥极宽，眼力更是绝细。”
魏三爷闻言大笑数声，拍了拍肚子，突然敛容道：“那么，不知道你还记不记得：在那本《天地会之医术、医学与医道》之中提到过一个跳楼自杀的洪英、叫罗德强的？”
我正在脑海之中竭力搜检所阅记之书的内容、而仍未便骤置然否之际，三爷早已接道：“此人当年任职于日本驻华大使馆，表面上干的是警卫，骨子里其实是个给“老头子”干“凿底”勾当的谍报人员——”
“我想起来了！”我昂声要说下去，手背却猛可教魏三爷给按住；当下微知其意，低声应道：“此人前去捣毁汪勋如开设的“河洛汉方针灸医院”，还失落了使馆职员证一枚，之后逃捕未遂，跳了楼，以精神病患者厌世自杀结案。”
“他哪里是自杀？”魏三爷又凑近前来、附耳言道：“分明是另有隐情、暴露了行藏，教——案的爷儿们给推下楼去灭口的。此事诚若追根刨柢，外间不难得知：“老头子”在驻日使馆埋下了“桩子”，事态就尾大不掉了。”
“这与我又有什么相关？”
“罗德强一案原本祇是洪门光棍想要迫令汪家医交出《吕氏铜人簿》、退出医道江湖的一个绿林纠纷，不料歪打正着，几几乎败露了“老头子”在日本方面伏桩设线的秘辛。这也就罢了，孰料此事过后五日，国民党“九全大会”之中，选出来个哥老会首洪达展列名主席圑第一后备副主席。此人机心极险，反而在“老头子”面前参了一本，说他握有密报，可以坐实老漕帮“老爷子”万砚方暗中破坏反攻大业，而就是因为罗德强掌握了万砚方阻挠反攻的证据，才惨遭灭口的。“老头子”闻言震怒，筋令洪达展把所谓的密报源源本本呈上来。洪达展能罗织罗德强入案，自然不是没有准备。不待大会闭幕，便抖露出一个老漕帮密遣东京在地光棍、将月前准备投奔自由的“周鸿庆”送进苏联大使馆的内幕来。”
““周鸿庆事件”我是知道的，当时的“梁兄哥”凌波随李翰祥到台湾访问，翰祥特别来看我，说是将来要同我合作，写几出历史戏；他还说了两句怪话：“周鸿庆这一路死死活活，拍他一部连台本戏三天三夜都演不完。 ""
“翰祥是知情的，所以日后他在台湾也待不下去了。”魏三爷说到此处，忽一振襟，从袖口里甩出两本书，祇一时还以巨掌遮掩、不使露相，并继续说道：“咱们言归正传：“周鸿庆事件”究竟如何，魏三也不瞒你老弟——不错的——当年正是万老爷子使了个偷梁换柱兼上屋抽梯之计，让一个在东京开出租汽车的庵清光棍拦下了那化名“周鸿庆”的莫人杰；这姓莫的从前曾经诈死赖债，身上背了一部血案——知情的除了我这贪吃鬼之外，恐怕就祇有他本人和二、三同谋而已——”
“三爷所言，不正是大作上提过的那道“红煨清鸭”的周厨么？”
“高阳果然是知味之士。”魏三爷微微一哂，接着说道：“正因为你读过这些本书，许多枝节细目，便不劳魏二一多费唇舌了。总之，这也正是托你带那部《肉笔浮世绘》的头一个原因。至于其二么，还得回到那冒充周厨的莫人杰身上说去——此子当年以半部《莫家拳谱》为酬，和航运巨子项迪豪勾串，设计了一条李代桃僵的毒计，言明事成之后另以后半部拳谱奉赠。莫人杰确实未曾食言，可却利用项某人嗜武成痴的奇癖提出了一个条件：他要求项迪豪把旗下船公司在广东沿海所设的一个仓库交给他经营三个月。”
“一个小小的仓库？祇经营三个月？”我大惑不解、脱口问道：“此子意欲何为？”“莫人杰当时不过是个未经世事的膏粱子弟，哪里懂得这些机关、计谋？更不消说向人要一座仓库了。此举自然是背后另有高人指点，才兜得转的。原来早在抗战期间，便有人看上了一宗收购旧港币的买卖。此人眼看项一一房将事业重心转往上海经营航运，在东南各省港市上都有货栈仓房，又深知项迪豪性喜钻研武术、且深衔北京飘花门孙少华一掌之辱，于是给设下条一石数鸟之策：杀了个周鸿庆、救了个莫人杰、毁了个孙少华、诬了个万砚方；项迪豪得了拳谱，定策之人则掌握了三个月的时间、把早就在战时用“周氏纸厂”名义买进的一吨多旧港币化整为零、以小舟运回香港，找上刚复业的汇丰，准备一口气全都兑成英镑，汇丰当然吃不消，祇好缓计徐谋，请那“周氏纸厂”的老板出任董事、兼理总裁职务。”
“然而这位“周老板”既非“周鸿庆”，恐怕也不是莫人杰。”我其实并不知道眞正的答案，却忍不住迸出一个猜测来：“当年执行收购港币的是陈光甫，日后花大钱交际公卿的也是陈光甫，难道——”
“还差一步，高阳老弟丨还差一步。别忘了陈光甫是人家哥老会的洪英光棍。”
“那么、那么——”我迟疑了，十分自然地嗫嚅道：“居然还是那洪达展！”
魏三爷深深一颔首，道：“不错。可笑那项迪豪一心只想着《莫家拳谱》，未到手时寝不安席；既到手了，仍复食不知味。成天价闭门修习熬练，实指望眞能学成一副“天下无敌水无边”的身手，好去北京亲自料理了飘花门的残徒余孽。他却始终不知道：自家海南仓库里竟然堆放着足可敌国的钱钞呢！
“至于莫人杰，即令解决了债务、分润了钱财，顶着个死厨子的姓名，依旧想过他花天酒地、纸醉金迷的荒唐日子。可老家是待不下去了；便由洪达展安排，往香港落脚。洪达展足跨政商两界，党旧港币更上层楼，可说是得意风光之极；在青岛、上海、南京各地都置着产业，香港自不例外。从另一方面设想：他也不希望莫人杰在内地招摇，因此买下了湾仔地区一座相当讲究的宅子，原名叫“千岁馆”——”
““千岁馆”我知道的。那是抗战初期、日本驻港情报机关在湾仔地区设立的一个俱乐部。”我亦点头应之：“倒是不对外营业；日本人称之为“会员制”。我在写《粉墨春秋》的时候注意过这条材料，可昔用不上。”
“其实“千岁馆”就是个专门接待各地前往香港跟日本军部办交涉的大小汉奸的招待所。”魏三爷道：“洪达展买下来是有眼光的。试想：战后再要同日本人作起生意来，此地宁非佳处？可是他碍于身为中枢要员，坐拥一片日寇的物业，自不好明目张胆，遂委了莫人杰前去经营，直到国府易帜为止。
“可怜人算不如天算，洪达展做梦也不会料到：连他自己都是胡里胡涂跟着“老头子”的部队播迁来台，又哪里顾得上莫人杰的出处呢？然而此子自年少之时便溷迹江湖，跟着洪达展耳濡目染个几年下来，当然也学了不少手段。加之以香港弹丸之地，龙蛇混杂、风尘嚣攘，反倒让莫人杰交际了不少人物；其中有一个人，姓连名贯，原先干过八路军驻港办事处的副主任。此人精通摄影技术，冲晒放大，无不娴巧，尤善于以长焦距镜头偷拍人物，曾于抗战中期摄得五、六十张出入“千岁馆”的汉奸照片，算是替共产党立下了不小的功劳。
“民国三十八年中，神州变色，国府迁台，共产党人民政府成立，少不得论功行赏。这位连贯便成了中共驻港办事处的主任，一日旧地重游，大约是向莫人杰吹嘘起曾经在“千岁馆”从事秘密工作的往事，莫人杰也约莫是透过了连贯的这层交往关系，才又找着了“那一边”的靠山。祇不过海峡迢递、竹幕深垂，魏三对这其中的关节榫目，所知也仅止于此——倒是洪达展这一边，不得不另有一套说法和做法。这，就株连到日后的一宗大难了。”
魏三爷说到这里，我恍然若有所悟，而其情犹似隔靴搔痒，抓不着要害，祇好凭着直觉一猜：“外间虽然不知道是洪达展一手安排那莫人杰“借尸还魂”，可香港在地的人物却总该听说过他盘下“千岁馆”，乃至于交给一个叫“周鸿庆”之名的人经营的事罢？”
“这正是症结所在！”魏三爷撮起口唇，“呼呼”怪笑了几声，才道：“当年国共作殊死战，“老头子”坐失大片江山，退居蕞尔之岛，仇匪恨匪之念，须臾未曾释怀；自然无时无刻不透过各方特务人员潜赴各地打探敌我虚实，俾能早日反攻。试想：近在咫尺、位居要津的洪达展在香港方面有那么一层不尴不尬的老关系、居然还攀上了共产党在八路军时代的特务头子，他该如何向“老头子”交代？”
“我看他没法子交代。”我不觉冷笑了两声——设身处地以洪达展的立场啄磨，其情倒颇似周弃公口中那有苦难言的“钱收发”；因为一旦和盘托出，说不定还会扯出当年如何教唆莫人杰觅佣代死的旧案来。
“这就是你们写小说的斗不过玩儿政治的了！”魏三爷似乎早知我会有此一答，当下如此应道；可是一转瞬间，又“呼呼”笑了两声，摇晃着脑袋，叹了口气：“唉！也别说你，当年就连我们“老爷子”、外加一个我，乃至身在极峰的“老头子”都未曾料到，洪达展给咱们变了个偌大的帽子戏法儿。要说有能看出了那戏法儿的，恐怕祇有一个李绶武；可谁教他外号人称“哑巢父”——明明窥出了底蕴，却始终不肯揭穿。”魏三爷接着试探地问了一句：“高阳老弟，你还记得当年有那么一个“反共自觉运动”否？”
我略略迟疑片刻，点了点头，道：“怎么不记得？”
那是发生在民国五十一年三月间的事。早在民国四十八年中，我已经服务军职满十周年、离开了王叔铭总长的幕僚，且经林适存先生（笔名南郭）之引荐，由中华日报郑品聪社长聘为特约主笔，负责撰写些社论、专栏之类的稿子；对于规模如此庞大的一个运动自然不陌生。
这个运动表面上是警备总部政治部主任王超凡中将发起的，目的是在鼓励那些曾经一时为共党引诱、胁迫、欺骗，而不得不与匪交往、接触、周旋的人士自动出面向警总表白。举凡涉有违反〈惩治叛乱条例〉第二至七条、〈戡乱时期检肃匪谍条例〉第九及十三条者，以及曾有附匪事而未办理自首、登记，或自首、登记得不澈底、不诚实者，皆可以在三月一日到四月三十日间向警总办理自觉。此外，这个运动还有另一项内容，那就是“凡确信某人在台有匪谍嫌疑，虽因缺乏有力证据、却有向政府报告之必要、以免涉及“知匪不报”之罪者，亦得在此期间向有关单位举发。”这个运动还将“反共自觉表白之事实”的时空范围推溯、拓展至“共党武装叛乱以前”、“发生地区非仅台湾，大陆、国外亦包括在内”。
从表面上看，“自白免责”之举是当年“安定后方、巩固复兴基地”的措施，也是受屈遭谤者洗刷嫌疑、还我清白的机会。可是既要人自觉表白，何以又加上一段鼓励检举的内容？当是时，我看出其中有这么一个逻辑上的抵牾，遂写了一篇社论，题曰：〈既云纵之，何复枉之？——关于反共自觉运动目标与作法的商榷〉。文章给上头压了下来，郑社长很委婉地向我解释：关于这个题目，已另有轮値主笔撰就一文，我这一篇、他祇好“留中不发”了。然而在面谈结束之际，他语重心长地向我面授机宜，道：“高阳兄，日后再踫上这种看似“以子之矛、攻子之盾”的政令，你就该明白：它是两股势力调不匀、斗不拢的结果。以“今上”的驭下之术，就是“存而不论、以待来兹”而已。”
这话说得含蓄、却极为清楚：“反共自觉运动”有表里两面；无论其初衷来意是疏其网、宽其刑，抑或是密其网、严其刑，都有另一方面相颉颇的势力阻挠之、制衡之。到头来决定这个运动之功过成败的，已非理性检验之眞伪是非，而是斗争角逐之强弱消长了。
魏三爷提到这一点，印证了我当初的怀疑；然而他指出了更诡谲的内幕，却是我始料所未及的。原来此事与我曾两度自田仲武和王新公口中接闻的一个人有关：李绶武。
早在这个“反共自觉运动”之前，国府曾经办理过几次名目不尽相同、而实质十分类似的活动。如：民国四十年和四十一年，由国防部总政治部公布过两次“自首办法”，前一次所针对者为“匪谍”，后一次益示其宽而发明了一个词儿，叫“附匪分子”；且两次活动也都连带地公布了“检举奖励办法”。
到了民国四十四年六月中旬，台湾省保安司令部又宣布：有为期两个月的时间，可容“前往大陆被迫附匪分子”来一次“总登记”。负责承办该一“总登记”活动的便是当时任保安司令部政治部主任的王超凡。王超凡原以为这第三回合的网罗周至、收丰硕、想必可立上一功。殊不料在呈送所有档案之际，却遗失了“港澳地区附匪分子检举清册”一份。此事秘而不宣，知情者惟恐株连及己，殆获不测之罪，祇好一方面在公文作业上延宕呈报时日，以“港澳地区工作另行汇整”为由掩饰，另一方面则对港澳方面涉嫌附匪人士重新展开积极查访——甚至罗织——活动。
是时外间关注其事者，多以为港澳一带为国共两造情报人员交锋前线，敌我溷迹杂厕，诚清查之不易，以致迁延未果。独王超凡深知：必有意图匿隐该次“总登记”之结果者近在咫尺、扞格肘腋。
到民国四十七年七月，保安司令部连同台北卫戍总部、台湾防卫总部和民防司令部一并撤销，一干任务全由新成立的台湾警备总司令部接管，隶属国防部；王超凡仍然做他的政治部主任。此时，那份重新调查制作的“港澳地区附匪分子检举清册”已经登录完竣，正准备呈报总司令黄镇球上将。不料有那么一天，王超凡赫然在自己的办公桌抽屉里发现了遗失整整三年之久的第一份清册。
这一下麻烦来了：他究竟该呈报哪一份？设若以失而复得的一份为可信，则谁能担保在过往三年之间，此册未经人增删变造？设若以重制的一份为可信，则万一那遗失的一份之中隐伏着什么重大而眞确的匪谍情报，岂不怙恶诬良，反而蹈陷机栝？
如此再三寻绎，似乎只有一途、且绝不可假手于他者：他得亲自比对这两份清册之间的差异如何，才能进一步判断：孰为可信、孰为可疑？
显然，新册比老册多出不少名单、以及据之而衍生的调查报告——其原因可想而知的：那些怀忧存疑、戒愼恐惧的谍报人员直接从王超凡处接获“重新澈查”的密令，岂敢不戮力効命
