Zhao Minggui carefully removed the straw paper from the wooden shelf in the bathroom, moved it to the table in the outer room, and looked at it carefully. [ ] He turned back to Zuo Shaoqing, "Young Master Zuo, are you having a problem?"
Zuo Shaoqing said calmly: "I didn't buy it all at once."
Zhao Minggui nodded to her and extended his thumb.
This is yellow, very rough straw paper. You can no longer see this kind of straw paper. But at that time, everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people used this kind of straw paper.
This kind of straw paper is about the size of a magazine, and you can still see the knots and fibers of straw on it. It is really rough. After the store produces this kind of straw paper, it will be bundled into a large bundle one foot thick, and then a big red stamp will be stamped on the side.
, indicating the store that produced it. When selling, the store will open the bundle and sell it to customers one by one.
The pile of papyrus on the table contains about seven or eight knives. However, the stamps on the sides of each knives cannot be spelled out. This shows that Wei Shuyun did not buy it all at once. What Zhao Minggui was thinking was, why did Wei Shuyun buy the papyrus again and again?
?What’s the purpose?
He put together the stamps on the sides of the straw paper, but couldn't put them together. But he made two points. First, these straw papers came from the same straw paper shop. Second, the name of this straw paper shop was "Hongji Paper Shop".
”.
Zuo Shaoqing nodded to Zhao Minggui, "Old Zhao, your judgment is right. What should we do?"
Zhao Minggui had nothing to hesitate and said: "Catch him!"
Without much trouble, they quickly found the "Hongji Paper Shop" and arrested the owner and his wife of the straw paper shop, as well as five or six workers working in the shop. As soon as these people were sent to the detention center, they were crowded.
The detention center was even more crowded.
However, something happened during Cheng Yunfa's interrogation of Wei Shuyun that no one expected.
When Cheng Yunfa sat down in the torture room and looked at Wei Shuyun across from him, he found that she had been crying. She kept lowering her head, crying loudly, and tears kept flowing down her cheeks. The corners of her mouth were slightly opened to both sides, as if she could feel at any moment.
She was about to burst into tears. Her hands were twisted together, and her fingers were almost broken.
Cheng Yunfa, like the police officer at the police station, thought that this was a fragile woman who would break down if she was frightened. He stared, roared, and interrogated one sentence after another. But the woman did not speak and just cried silently.
.
Cheng Yunfa became so angry that he ordered her to be hung up and whipped with a whip. Every time she was whipped, the woman cried, still weeping, and still didn't speak. In the end, she was almost beaten to pieces and lost consciousness several times. But she was beaten.
After waking up with cold water, it was still the same. She didn't even raise her eyes to Cheng Yunfa.
Ye Gongjin was also surprised when he received Cheng Yunfa's report, so he went to the detention center with Zhao Minggui to watch Wei Shuyun's interrogation. What happened when he arrived was exactly as Cheng Yunfa said.
Ye Gongjin waited for half an hour and finally understood. He turned back to Zhao Minggui and said, "Yunfa was deceived by her appearance. This woman has an iron will, and she won't speak." Ye Gongjin shook his head, and the emotions in his heart also changed.
It got complicated, "Minggui, she regrets it, extremely regrets it."
Just as Ye Gongjin guessed, Wei Shuyun was extremely regretful at this time, to the point of breaking her heart. My superiors entrusted me with such an important task and trusted me so much. Comrades lurking within the enemy risked their lives to obtain the information.
, to be passed through my hands to the comrades outside. However, I made such a stupid mistake! Why should I take a nap? I am so snoozing, can't I restrain myself? I don't know how many comrades were exposed because of me
, sacrifice because of me! Other comrades can sacrifice their lives, but I can't sacrifice a little sleep! I can't pay back this debt even if I die!
Wei Shuyun felt like this at this time, she was in pain and regretful and she couldn't bear to live!
She didn't leave any more opportunities for Ye Gongjin. The agents took her out of the torture room and on the way back to the cell, she held her guard open. The guard thought she was going to leave on her own and happily let go of her hand. But she
Suddenly he lowered his head, rushed forward, and hit the corner of a doorway.
The impact was so heavy that the top of her skull was sunken, and blood spurted onto the wall like a fountain.
The guards called for a doctor. The doctor took one look and said, "The man is dead. He will die immediately."
Ye Gongjin, Cheng Yunfa, and Zhao Minggui sat in the torture room and did not speak for a long time. They had seen the tenacity of the Communist Party, especially those female Communists, Zhang Yalan, Lin Xiu, and now Wei Shuyun, they appeared to be weak, but in fact they were
They are made of steel and iron, and their will is even more indestructible.
Ye Gongjin sighed, no wonder he is today!
As if that was not bad enough, the next day, January 21, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek announced that he was "stepping down" and his duties as president would be replaced by Vice President Li. There was an uproar in public opinion, and the morale of the military and the people was in chaos.
At this time, the Battle of Pingjin and the Battle of Xubeng had come to an end, and the defeat was certain. All those in the north of the Yangtze River and those who could evacuate should be evacuated to the south of the Yangtze River as much as possible. In this way, Nanjing's city defense situation has become dangerous.
Ye Gongjin received a call from Pan Qiwu, chief secretary of the Secrecy Bureau, and told him not to be affected. Although Mao Renfeng resigned as director, all the power of the Secrecy Bureau is still in his hands. The "Secret Bureau" of Hong Gong Temple is just a puppet. Likewise.
Logically speaking, although Chairman Chiang resigned as president, he still retains the power of the party, government, military, special forces, and constitution.
Even so, Ye Gongjin already felt that the situation was not optimistic. Therefore, he specially called Zuo Shaoqing.
"Young Master Zuo," he said to Zuo Shaoqing as calmly as possible, "the suggestion you made last time was very good. Negotiate with Wang Zhenqing and the garrison headquarters as soon as possible to borrow some cells in the army prison and transfer important prisoners in the detention center. Zuo
The situation is very bad, and we must be prepared. By transferring important prisoners to the army prison, our burden will indeed be lighter. You should handle this matter as soon as possible."
During this period of time, Zuo Shaoqing felt as if he was a "lonely ghost" with no one to care for him.
Both Du Ziyuan and her were worried that their danger would affect each other, and further affect the "Locust Tree", so they did not dare to meet each other now. In the past, when Zuo Shaoqing and Du Ziyuan met each other and shook hands, she would feel very warm in her heart.
No matter what, the person her heart cares about is still this person. Without being able to meet Du Ziyuan, her heart is like a kite with its string broken, floating to nowhere.
My sister still met Du Ziyuan from time to time. They ate and joked together. Sometimes, my sister would spend the night at his place, leaving Zuo Shaoqing alone at home. She huddled in the cold quilt and couldn't get warm for a long time.
At this time, meeting Wang Zhenqing became the greatest comfort in her heart. Only then did she understand her sister's words. Her sister looked at her with such complicated eyes and said: "I recognize you as my sister, because it is great to have a sister.
"Zuo Shaoqing felt at this time that it was great to have a brother.
In order to divert the attention of her repeat offenders, she has gone to see Wang Zhenqing many times. As soon as she walked in, a charming smile would appear on her face. When she sat on the sofa, she would cuddle up to Wang Zhenqing like a big brother, and then act like a big brother.
When I screamed, my heart felt really warm and soft.
In fact, she didn't have any thoughts about Wang Zhenqing, she was just fascinated by this feeling.
Wang Zhenqing was originally an upright soldier, and he also had no inappropriate thoughts. But a soldier was born to protect flowers, and guarding such a beautiful female officer, and being called "big brother" by her, really felt very useful.
Every time when they were about to break up, Wang Zhenqing would hold her in his arms and say very affectionately: "Good girl, be good. Don't let me worry. My brother is most worried about you now."
Zuo Shaoqing snuggled into his arms and looked at him softly, "Brother, you are my dear eldest brother."
Wang Zhenqing said: "Of course, you are my biological sister."
At this time, Du Ziyuan was also in a state of extreme anxiety. The first thing he did was to cut off contact with "Sophora Tree" again. He could imagine what would happen if "Sophora Tree" did not see him when he went to "Tsinghua Pool" to take a bath again.
What a mood.
The last time they met in "Tsinghua Pond", "Huaishu" made two points clear to him. First, his job will change soon, that is, recently, the specific date is unclear. Second, the Ministry of National Defense has
A strategic deployment for the south was formulated, with one focus on Guangdong and Guangxi, and the other on Sichuan. This plan is being formulated and will be released in the next few days. He told Du Ziyuan, "I will bring this plan to you next time I come.
"
However, now that Du Ziyuan's connection with "Locust Tree" has been severed, he can't help but feel anxious about it.
The second thing Du Ziyuan was worried about was that in recent days, he had been looking for top-secret files sent by Zuo Shaoqing. He didn't understand Zuo Shaoqing's intention at first. But he soon understood that Zuo Shaoqing was looking for "water"
"Water hyacinth" is the sword hanging over Zuo Shaoqing's head, and also the sword hanging over the head of the North China Bureau Intelligence Department! This agent has penetrated deep into the North China Bureau Intelligence Department and has access to core secrets. This situation is
Too dangerous.
With this in mind, Du Ziyuan studied these files every night until late at night. However, he only found the secret agents lurking in the Southern Bureau and the Shanghai Party Organization, but did not find the slightest clue about the "water hyacinth". This situation plunged Du Ziyuan into deep
Deeply worried. He really wanted to meet Zuo Shaoqing to discuss this situation.
However, he also understood that for the sake of "Locust Tree", at least for now, he could not easily see Zuo Shaoqing.
In a telegram to the Intelligence Department of the North China Bureau, Du Ziyuan reported the two clues he had found. The next day, the Intelligence Department of the North China Bureau called back to inquire about the source of the clues.
Du Ziyuan became worried again. He did not dare to mention the source. He even suspected that the reply was sent by "Water Hyacinth". This incident made him restless.
However, among the relevant people, one person was overjoyed, and he was Cheng Yunfa. Cheng Yunfa actually found evidence that Ye Gongjin was involved in arms, and it was related to the recent arms deal.
That night, Cheng Yunfa took advantage of the fact that no one was in the office and called Director Yang of the inspection office in Hangzhou to report the situation.
