Yan Bugui didn't catch up with the lively scene of the whole hospital meeting. Looking at the sign on the roadside [Ninghe County], Zhou Wenzhong knew that he was going to an enclave in the capital this time. That is, Qinghe Farm in Tianjin City
, also known as Chadian Farm.
The truck stopped in front of a very old iron gate. Four guards on the second-floor watchtower were waving small flags at the truck. Zhou Wenzhong looked at the five-pointed star logo on the door and the signboard [Beijing City]
Qinghe Farm].
This farm was established in 1949. Although it is located in Ninghe County, Tianjin, its jurisdiction is in the capital. This is the meaning of the word "enclave".
Covering an area of more than 110 square kilometers, the site is very large and there is a river running through it. It has not yet reached its glorious period. Chi Zhiqiang does not serve his sentence here, and Wu Ningkun does not work here. There are no 16 prison places.
The labor camp is an operation model between a detention center and a prison. There is endless work here. Unlike the prison which only grows food and vegetables, the farm can raise cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, horses, mules... and you can also receive various kinds of
Manual work is used by prisoners to earn compensation and wages. However, the difference is somewhat large.
There are also benefits. You have more freedom in time and management. There are also relatively many channels for meritorious service. For example, if you work faster, you can be counted as meritorious service. If you make more meritorious services, your sentence will be reduced much faster. In name, it is a labor camp, but it is different from the one in the 1980s.
The farm is incomparable. It seems to be a lawless place now.
Zhou Wenzhong felt a sense of disappointment in his heart. It would be great if he could be sent to Qincheng Prison as an exchange student. The prisoners there were all Chiang Kai-shek's subordinates, and the worst ones were at the level of major general.
It was precisely because of the establishment of Qincheng Prison that criminals in other prisons lived a good life wearing prison uniforms. In any case, they were uniform uniforms. They were much better than the tattered clothes they wore. Until the late 1960s,
This good policy has just been cancelled.
In addition to issuing pure black prison uniforms, Qincheng Prison also provides very high standards of daily meals. It also provides daily necessities such as tooth powder, toothbrushes, insoles, straw paper, towels, etc. on a weekly basis. It can be said that the county magistrate will not change them.
"Come down!"
"boom!"
The back of the truck was supported with wooden planks again, and Zhou Wenzhong and others walked toward the farm one by one. There were withered and yellow hay everywhere.
The guards came over with machine guns in hand. They didn't even bother to read the leader's documents and just waved their hands to let him go.
The faint sound of jingling could be heard in their ears. Zhou Wenzhong and Yan Bugui were finally handed over. The hemp ropes on their bodies were slowly untied and handcuffs were put on them again.
The two of them came to a row of bungalows while pushing and shoving, and there were other prisoners waiting around them. A group of people were processing documents inside the red-painted windows.
The leader walked in with a small book in hand, as if he were back at home, casually picked up the sweet potato on the coal stove, broke it open and took a bite.
"Hurry up and sign and go through the formalities. It will be dark if you wait a little longer. We are still waiting to go home for the New Year."
"Bring it here. How many people are there this time?"
"both."
"How much will they be fined?"
"I don't know, so just lock it up for now. Anyway, a letter from the street office will be sent to you later. I think one of these two people is a fraudster and the other is a saboteur. I guess the sentence is not light and you should pay back
They have been in debt for many years. The police station wanted them both to dig rocks."
"Understood. Kaka...finished work."
"Let's go. You can spend your time here on your own during the Chinese New Year. I'll take two new pairs of handcuffs and go away~ Anyway, the keys are the same."
"Go! Go! Go."
The leader waved his hand and left the place in a truck with his four colleagues.
Yan Bugui and his wife were successfully accepted by the farm. No one came out to spread daily knowledge. They didn't even have a number plate on their chests. They were still wearing the same clothes when they came. They just followed the guards and walked for half an hour. Come on.
When we arrived at an iron gate, the wall was estimated to be more than 4 meters high. Although there was a barbed wire fence on top, it was probably not powered by electricity.
The staff led the two people in through the small door on the side. No trees of any kind were planted. This method can effectively prevent people from escaping.
There are mountains of stone in the farthest distance. On both sides are rows of single-story brick houses. A rough estimate is that there are more than 30 houses, and they also use iron doors. They are probably the products of the large-scale steel smelting.
"Captain Wu, I'm here to send you a newcomer."
After shouting 3 or 4 times, a middle-aged man in his 30s walked out of the house. As he walked, he looked at the wooden signs on their chests.
"Just two?"
"Everyone else has arrangements. Sign it quickly so that I can get back to work quickly."
Captain Wu took the book and signed it and stamped it. After sending away the guide, he took off the two wooden signs.
"Give you two a chance to see where the gate is? As long as you can run out, you can go home. Run quickly!"
Seeing that both of them were unmoved, Captain Wu seemed to find it boring.
Holding the handcuffs of the two of them with one hand, they walked towards the bungalow in front.
"I don't need to tell you the rules here at all. When you get to the reform class, someone will tell you the daily work arrangements. Are you kidding me?"
This thick aristocratic accent made Zhou Wenzhong respond immediately.
"It's so bad!"
Captain Wu looked at Zhou Wenzhong with a smile and asked, "You like answering conversations, don't you? That's great. Just go to the innermost room."
"yes."
Captain Wu carefully searched Zhou Wenzhong's clothes, took out the key and opened the iron door, unlocked Zhou Wenzhong's handcuffs and pushed him in.
"Bang!"
Zhou Wenzhong took a look at the room. It should be more than 40 square meters, with a large Tukang pavilion on both sides of the wall and no furniture.
There is a carbon pot on the ground near the window of the house. There is a coal stove in the middle of the house, and a black iron kettle sits on it. However, there is no exhaust pipe connected to the coal stove. There is air leakage everywhere.
There is no need to worry about soot poisoning at all.
Seeing Zhou Wenzhong come in, people No. 30 on both sides of the Tukang got off the ground one by one, and gathered in front of Zhou Wenzhong to watch and look at them. They were basically in their 30s and 40s. There was only one squad leader at the window.
, he sat up cross-legged without getting off the ground. It turned out that he was the trumpeter here, and he was showing off his style here.
Zhou Wenzhong hurriedly cupped his fists and raised his hands, greeting everyone from left to right with a smile on his face: "All three, old and four young are invited."
[In this era, the southwest was not recovered, and the bandit suppression in western Hunan was only completed in 1964. 】
"Hey, this guy came up to counter us. It's kind of interesting."
Next to the squad leader's bed, a strong man about 1.75 meters tall and weighing more than 150 kilograms walked out with his arms crossed. First he saw the squad leader nodded, and then asked Zhou Wenzhong: "We are all brothers in the world."
Zhou Wenzhong cupped his hands and replied: "The three religions were originally one family."
"Which three religions?"
"Red lotus, white lotus root and green lotus leaf."
Hearing Zhou Wenzhong's answer, the squad leader got off the earth kang. He took two steps forward and looked at Zhou Wenzhong carefully.
Zhou Wenzhong was also sizing him up. There were only three of the strongest people in the room, and they were all standing in front of him. The monitor probably weighed about 150 pounds and was nearly 1.8 meters tall. He had fair skin and no facial features.
A man in his 30s with a fierce look.
"From what you say, I'm still a member of the family. Please tell me that you are a member of the family."
"There are brothers in the Jianghu who are separated from the family, and An Qing who is not separated from the family. The family is pure and moral, has written Buddhist teachings, and is wise in people's opinions. He is originally confident, and he is the elder with the twenty-four characters of Xingli in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
The younger brother Zhou Wenzhong, whose surname is Zhou at home and Chen when he goes out, entered the family in the 36th year of the Republic of China. He wears the newly opened 24th generation Wanzi generation, the younger brother's wharf gift is five-two, and there are 24 incense burners on his head. The family's teacher Wei Xinxi, the teacher's wife successively made money.
Hall Master Ji Yunqing, please."
The squad leader cupped his hands and said, "Please, please."
The man who asked the first question just now leaned into the monitor's ear and asked: "Is this kid older?"
"The first generation since the Republic of China, who made his master senior? His master Lu Youcai is related to Lu Jingshi, and Lu Jingshi is Mr. Du's disciple."
"I can't tell, you are quite tall despite your age."
"When I was two years old, my master took my hand and stroked the incense lit by a matcha."
The squad leader nodded, turned his thumbs up and down three times in front of his chest, made a cross gesture on his chest, and then clasped his fists.
When Zhou Wenzhong saw this, he understood that this was from the Hong Gang. He was not a member of their sect, so he could only follow the rules of the Hong Gang with fists in his hands.
"Golden pier, silver pier, come to my dear pier. The scenery is clear and the water is beautiful, the people are outstanding, and I look forward to atonement for my inconsiderate things."
"Gold drives silver, I don't know that my brother Longhushan drives."
"Come to worship me from three mountains and five mountains, and gather money from all over the world. I invite you."
"Please, please. What did you do to come in?"
"I dropped the overpass and was immediately arrested."
"What crime was assigned to you?"
"Fraud."
"Just you?"
Zhou Wenzhong put his left hand on the socket of his right arm and gave a thumbs up with his right hand and replied: "Yaozi flies in the sky and leopards run underground. My two brothers came from Sichuan. Brother Sichuan Pao tied himself up and committed suicide. Originally, they wanted to take the responsibility for their brothers.
Lei, we can't be unkind, so we can only kick them both out and walk in ourselves."
The squad leader nodded again, clasped his fists and said: "Jinhua Mountain, Renyi Hall, Shen Qingsheng. The word "Hong" above the head is 426."
"It turns out to be Hallmaster Shen of Renyi Hall."
One person took a step forward and clasped his fists and said: "Jinhua Mountain, Renyi Hall, Wan Guoxiang, Ma Youhe, with the word "Hong" on the top of the head, 432."
Another person came out and introduced himself with fists in his hands and said: "Jinhua Mountain, Renyi Hall, Wanguoxiang, Ji Erliang, with the word "Hong" on the top of his head, 432."
Zhou Wenzhong cupped his fists and cupped his hands and said: "Both incense masters have invited me."
"Please, please."
Shen Qingsheng put down his hand and said, "Although we are all brothers, we cannot break the rules of this sect."
"Understood, brother, I only have this outfit, brothers, please take care of me."
Zhou Wenzhong covered his temples with both hands and lay on his side on the ground with his waist bent.
Shen Qingsheng looked at everyone in the room and said, "You two are not worthy of fighting."
"knew."
"good."
Zhou Wenzhong lay on the ground with his teeth gritted and was beaten for a full minute. The pain was really painful, but he knew in his heart that the two brothers had spared their hands. They only kicked with their feet, not even kicking. The beating was already very particular.
"enough!"
Shen Qingsheng took two steps forward and Zhou Wenzhong pulled him up from the ground and patted the dust off his body.
"How about it?"
"Comfortable."
"All of you, please listen to me. Zhou Wenzhong will sleep in the urine bucket today. I will make arrangements after today. You guys should keep an eye on me at night. If anyone is unable to urinate properly, we will take care of it."
After everyone heard this, no one dared to answer. This shows that Shen Qingsheng's status in the account is extraordinary.
"Thank you, Master Ha Shen."
"We don't care about this. We are all members of the family. Since ancient times, young people and red people have always been in the same family. Don't call me the master of the hall. They all call me Sixth Brother. Come sit here and talk."
"Eh."
Zhou Wenzhong sat on the kang, took out a large sword cigarette from his arms and handed it to Shen Qingsheng.
"Where did you get it?"
"Everyone has his or her own way. Brother Six, you can look at it and give it to everyone."
Shen Qingsheng picked up the cigarette, took a look at it, and then threw it to Zhou Wenzhong with a smile.
"We brothers don't smoke this, and these bastards don't deserve to smoke your cigarettes. You'll know in two days. Your accent sounds like you're from the capital, right?"
"Yes, I settled in the capital before liberation."
Ji Erliang and Ma Youkazuya sat cross-legged on the kang, and the four of them sat together like playing mahjong.
Shen Qingsheng waved, and Ji Erliang took out a box of Chinese cigarettes from his arms. He shook it and threw one to Zhou Wenzhong. Then he took out a kerosene lighter and lit a cigarette for Shen Qingsheng. Zhou Wenzhong was stunned by this process.
Shen Qingsheng turned to the others and shouted: "What are you looking at! Why don't you squat down facing the wall."
A group of people lined up and squatted on the ground. Zhou Wenzhong was completely convinced. This squad leader is really not an easy person.
Life on the farm can be hard or easy, and it can be easy or easy. As long as the task is completed on time, no one cares whether it is done by 100 people or 200 people.
After two hours of waffling, Zhou Wenzhong still couldn't figure out Shen Qingsheng's background. The answer he got was always the same: You will know when the time comes.
But Zhou Wenzhong has already figured out the nature of work in the quarry, and the labor wages are 1.5 cents per person per day.
Work starts at 7:30 am every day and ends at dark at 5 pm.
I rest for 1 and a half hours in the middle, and my daily food is 2 black steamed buns.
In the event of severe weather, wages will be suspended.
There are 21 cells here, and Shen Qingsheng is responsible for all the work of more than 650 people.
Next door are the bamboo camp and the horse camp. There are brick walls separating the camps from each other, and there are also gunmen to guard them day and night.
There have been cases of prisoners escaping along the river here before. Some were arrested and shot target immediately, while others were caught on the bridge outside the farm.
Until now, whenever a prisoner escapes, the guards will immediately set up a block on the bridge outside the farm to intercept him.
You can wander around the farm at will during the day, and no one will care about you. Just finish the work assigned by Shen Qingsheng. Basically, Captain Wu will not come to ask, he only needs to leave the task to Shen Qingsheng.
