Early the next morning, Zhou Wen and Ai Xiqi watched at the entrance of the village as the city defense troops collected the bodies of the killed agents. Ai Xiqi said angrily: "The logistics department was attacked and you weren't here. It would be better for you to help the enemy collect the bodies. This
After joining the group, they will be on my blacklist, let’s see how I play with them.”
Zhou Wen smiled and said: "Actually, they are also following orders. The worst thing I think is that the commander of their Third Army actually ordered outsiders to attack friendly forces. The Third Army still belongs to the Southern Front Group, so our Southern Front Group Logistics Department
..." Having said this, looking at Ai Xiqi, the two of them laughed at the same time. If you want to kneel down and lick the Central Party Headquarters, don't blame us for tampering with you behind the scenes.
That night, Zhou Wen welcomed an unexpected guest, Liu Ruoshui, a fat man with glasses. Liu Ruoshui came in a military column with a tired look on his face. It seemed that he had suffered a lot of torture recently. When they met, Liu Ruoshui
He bowed to Zhou Wen solemnly and apologized, his face full of apology and regret.
Zhou Wen quickly stopped and said sincerely: "Brother Liu is really not to blame for this. It's because I didn't tell him that I wanted to retire. I knew in my heart that brother wanted to help me, but he was taken advantage of by those villains from the Investigation Department.
.My eldest brother later worked hard for my matter and went to intercede for me. My brother is only grateful. How can I blame my eldest brother?"
Both of them treat each other sincerely, and they naturally enjoy each other.
Liu Ruoshui had a big plan this time, and he had to get Zhou Wen's support first. The two brothers plotted alone at the wine table for a whole night, during which Uncle Wu took turns serving them wine and food. In the early morning, Zhou Wen and others
He sent Liu Ruoshui, who was drunk but extremely excited, onto the train.

On October 15, 1930, the principal of the National Army Headquarters in Zhengzhou was in a very happy mood. Today was a big day. Marshal Feng of the Northwest Army and Marshal Yan of Shanxi Province simultaneously sent telegrams to the whole country to announce that they would go abroad. Since then, it can be said that the National Army has achieved
The war was won, and all that was left was the finishing work.
The principal once again defeated the hostile forces, and his reputation was unprecedentedly high. It turned out that those forces, big and small, that had their own agendas, were hesitant to look forward, and were hesitant to look forward and backward, all surrendered, and the enemy's subordinates switched sides one after another. At this moment, it was a time of great satisfaction and hope for self-improvement.
However, the good mood was ruined by a deputy director of the Organization Department of the Central Party Committee who came to complain. The deputy director held a thick stack of black reports, spoke eloquently, spitted everywhere, and made tearful accusations that were heinous and worthy of death.
How the bandits surnamed Zhou ignored party discipline and national laws, brutally and brutally massacred law-abiding Party Affairs Investigation Section officials, and even planned to kidnap and assassinate relatives of officials, etc.
Strongly demand that the principal make the decision and punish the culprits severely. It is best to arrest and bring them to the Central Party Headquarters for public trial in order to boost the prestige of our party and the country...
Before the deputy minister could finish his words, he was already furious. The principal, who couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the report on the table and smashed it in his face. The papers were scattered in the air, and one of them was directly thrown into the air.
It was placed on the deputy minister's head. He was so frightened by the principal's rage that he didn't dare to reach out and take it off. He just let the piece of paper sit on his head like a circus clown.
The principal pointed at him and cursed: "You have done good things for yourselves, but you have the nerve to come here to confuse right and wrong, and mad dogs bite you. Tell me, who is it that ignores party discipline and state laws and kidnaps other people's brothers? Who is so bold as to gather armed men?
Attack the important place of the frontline logistics department? You have behaved in a despicable manner, and yet you actually complained plausibly. Now disappear from my eyes immediately, get out!"
The clown deputy minister was shocked. He didn't expect that the principal already knew the truth. It seemed that the bandit named Zhou also had a backing in the court. He hurriedly defended: "Principal, please calm down. Principal, calm down. Even if the Party Affairs Investigation Department has everything wrong, after all, it is a representative."
The Central Party Headquarters. This incident has greatly damaged the face of the Party Headquarters. I hope the principal will be considerate and have mercy on him..."
Before he finished speaking, he was forcibly escorted out of the principal's office by the guards.
The principal stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows, and said to a thin middle-aged man sitting on the sofa reading a report: "Yanji, look at it, there is no one here who makes people worry. Although we are here
We won the first victory, but the country’s long-standing shortcomings are deep and we still have a long way to go. What do you think after reading this handling opinion of the Party Secretariat?”
The middle-aged man quickly stood up and said: "The principal is right. The revolution has not yet succeeded, so we cannot slack off. I think this report is feasible. Shanxi is Yan Laoxi's territory. Although he has announced that he will step down and go abroad, many years of
After painstaking efforts, the influence is not trivial. We also agreed to Marshal Zhang not to send the Nationalist Army to Shanxi, so we can only focus on the political and party affairs."
Then he carefully looked at the principal's face and said hesitantly: "It's just - is it appropriate to just let Liu Ruoshui serve as the special commissioner of the party department? After all, he is still a little younger..."
It turns out that this middle-aged man is the director of the Second Division of the Attendant Office, who is responsible for party affairs. He is also the secretary-general of the party department. Naturally, he knows how important the position of the party's special commissioner stationed in Shanxi is. He is also a little envious of this position and wonders if he can get it.
Try to fight for it and send your own confidants instead.
The principal didn't know what he was thinking, so he smiled softly and said: "Then who should I replace? They all have no roots in Shanxi. They have nothing to do but are deceived and coaxed into offering sacrifices to their ancestors."
"
The middle-aged man said: "Isn't there another person named Zhou..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the principal with a wave of his hand. He snorted coldly: "Don't mention that little bandit to me. Thinking about it will make me angry. If you are unruly and unruly, you will be punished. You will be ruthless and lawless. Kill the prisoners, kill them."
The ** official actually threatened to go to Nanjing to kidnap the official’s family. Look, isn’t this a real bandit? If I hadn’t thought of his great contribution to the rescue of Guide Station, I would have..."
The principal held back his words, walked to the table, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, calmed down and then said: "Tell me, this kind of person will obey orders and try his best? You can go to someone else. The mountains are high and the roads are far away in Shanxi. Don't go there."
Not even a single corpse could be found."
The middle-aged man carefully recalled the rumors he had heard about Zhou. Forty men at Guide Station defeated hundreds of elite cavalrymen of the Northwest Army, went deep behind enemy lines to arrest high-ranking enemy officials, and then entered the city alone to cooperate with the National Army to capture the important town without any effort.
Xuchang. Killing Party Affairs Investigation Bureau officials is like killing chickens and dogs. There is no grass growing on the dozens of graves outside Xuchang. There are even rumors that Shi Shouxin, Shi Yousan's cousin, and his family were wiped out because of him...
I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, this is a stupid young man who doesn't play by the rules, but he also brings a group of extremely powerful desperadoes, who can kill families without blinking an eye, and who also has great achievements in saving people.
