As soon as Lu Zilin walked into the small courtyard of the welfare center, the medicine man from Bailu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall followed up and said: "Sir, please come over if you have a message. Don't delay." Lu Zilin was thinking about how to tell Mr. Leng on the street walking towards the Chinese Medicine Hall.
Explaining the move of buying and demolishing the Bai family's concierge, apart from this incident, he could not think of any other important things that would prompt Mr. Leng to call him early in the morning. When he walked into the Chinese Medicine Hall, Mr. Leng led him to the back.
He was in the dormitory, with a look of panic on his face when he spoke: "Do you know that Zhaopeng was arrested by Mr. Tian?" Lu Zilin was shocked: "Who did you hear from? I don't know anything about what happened?" Leng
The husband said: "When I opened the door early in the morning, a patient from Nanyuan came in. He said he was caught in the school last night." Lu Zilin was surprised: "He is still in Nanyuan. My God, wanted notices are posted all over the Yuan.
Yes, he hasn't left Yuan yet..." Mr. Leng said: "I heard that he had just returned to Yuan from the city and wanted to incite the hungry people to make trouble. I didn't expect that one of his brothers had reported to Mr. Tian.
If I ask others, I can’t tell you carefully, but the truth is that Tian Zongxiang has been escorted to the county overnight... What do you think we should do?" Lu Zilin said: "This scoundrel deserves to be punished for his crimes.
"It's easy to talk and live." Mr. Leng said: "What you said is angry. At our age, how much can we say and how many people can live? There are not many left. You and I are both living and breathing people now."
Lu Zilin coughed and burst into tears. He choked with tears and said: "My family's good life is all ruined by this grandson. He joined the Communist Party and taught me that he will suffer losses and bring disasters. Let's not talk about it. Just marriage... teach me."
I always feel sorry for your brother. What I said was not out of anger but the truth. If he is punished, it will make Cangli County no longer suspicious of me, Lu Zilin, and things at home will be easier to handle.
, let her remarry in a legitimate manner, and I can be a good person in front of your brother." Mr. Leng said: "That's not what I said when I called you here today. I know you want to save him, but you can't say it out loud."
Lu Zilin still insisted: "I won't save you." Mr. Leng said: "If you don't save me, I will save my son-in-law." Lu Zilin said: "It's in vain if you save him. He took Tian Zongxiang to the guillotine for you.
I also know that Mr. Tian can spare him. The right thing to do now is 'I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go lightly'. Once he is done with his Zhaopenggui grandson, you don't have to work hard anymore. It will be in vain and you will lose money..." Leng
The husband said: "I am ready to go bankrupt as long as I can save my son-in-law." Lu Zilin quickly added: "If you really saved him, he would not dare to twist it anymore. He also understands that his life is
You picked it up." Mr. Leng said: "Please pay attention today. You will tell me as soon as Mr. Tian comes back. It won't be delayed. I heard that the current situation is to cut the knot with a quick knife, and just fill it in without even examining it.
The well is gone"
The National Revolutionary Government in power in Xi'an used simple methods to crack down on the Communist Party. It did not conduct formal interrogations, did not bother to make public demonstrations, and rarely shot people to death in public. After being caught, they were first beaten and then questioned and if nothing could be found out, they were put into sacks and thrown into the trash.
In the well of bitter water, he asked what was going on but felt that this person was not suitable to be left in the world, so he simply threw him into the well. Lu Zilin pretended to be nonchalant and went to Bailucang three times a day. It was not until late in the evening that he saw Tian Fuxian riding a horse.
Riding his horse back from the county, he rushed ahead of Tian Fuxian and said: "I have heard about it. Catching that turtle grandson will eliminate harm to the country and also dig out a thorn in my side. Chief Township Officer, you know my temper. I don't care about it."
The four steamed buns are still worth two pairs." Tian Fuxian said more humanely: "After all, he is still your son. If he is a little hairy monkey, it will be easy to handle. Let him write a letter of repentance and make a new lease of life. I will
It’s okay to intercede with Secretary Yue; you know that he is a key criminal in a major case, let alone me. Secretary Yue does not dare to deal with it without permission. He only got away with it in the county and was sent directly to the city..." Lu Zilin
After confessing that Yu Zhaopeng was arrested and even killed, he closed his eyes and ignored it. When he came back, he hurriedly told Mr. Leng: "Tian Zongxiang is back."
Mr. Leng immediately implemented the strategy of rescuing his son-in-law Zhaopeng. He ordered Lu Zilin to go home and hitch up the cart, and together with his husband, he carried ten sacks filled with Chinese herbal medicines onto the cart, promising to use these backlogged medicinal materials.
They were sent to the city to be sold. In the famine years, people were dying. No one came to see the doctor or get medicine. He dismissed Liu Mouer and asked Lu Zilin to drive the cart himself. He ordered Lu Zilin to take a detour and walk past the gate of Bailucang: "Zilin, go and call for him."
When I made an appointment with Mr. Tian, his wife was sick and I asked him to come with me and see her doctor on the way." Tian Fuxian ran out of the barn door in a hurry, climbed into the cart without any doubts, and asked him repeatedly what kind of disease his woman had.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Mr. Leng was as concise as ever: "One of your relatives came to call me early in the morning. I couldn't get away. I asked about the condition in general, took two pills and took it away. Don't be anxious and don't ask too many questions.
I can’t tell you. Let’s stop by and take a look. I’m also delivering medicine to the city.” The green mule pulled the cart on the official road in the countryside, kept going west, and finally stopped at a tall gatehouse.
Next, Mr. Leng yawned and got out of the car.
Entering the deep courtyard of the Tian family, Tian Fuxian asked the sleeping woman inexplicably, and he also asked Mr. Leng inexplicably: "My wife is not sick, and I didn't ask anyone to invite you." But Mr. Leng said: "I lied to others again."
.That man pretended to be a relative of the general secretary and tricked me into taking two medicines...it was a trivial matter..." After saying that, he walked out the door. Lu Zilin got out from under the big wheel and said dejectedly: "Oh no, no, no, the axle is broken.
It's broken and I can't walk." So, ten tightly tied sacks were unloaded from the car and brought into the house. Tian Fuxian said cheerfully: "Let the carpenter change the axle tomorrow. It's a good thing that it's rare for the three of us brothers to get together for a drink.
Cup." After drinking for three rounds, Mr. Leng untied the sacks piled on the steps and held up the lampstand to show Tian Fuxian his "precious medicine." Tian Fuxian stared at the sacks, and Lu Zilin almost screamed in surprise.
When he came out, the sack disguised as a medical bag was wrapped with a bunch of hard stuff, and none of the ten sacks was empty. Tian Fuxian said: "Sir, what are you doing?" He turned around and scolded Lu Zilin, "You are doing this, you have to
He is guilty of the same crime as Zhaopeng." Lu Zilin was so frightened that his face turned yellow: "Brother Tian, I really don't know what kind of medicine is in Mr. Tian's gourd..." Mr. Leng said: "You try to let him go. I only recognized Zhaopeng when I rescued him.
My son-in-law and my daughter have always been here to stay. This is a family tradition. If I can’t do anything anymore, I will force you to find a way." Tian Fuxian spread his hands in a panic: "Okay, my husband, you are forcing your brother to jump to Mount Huashan.
Well." Mr. Leng said: "You think of a way. You can think of a way. I know you have a way." Tian Fuxian smiled bitterly and said: "I am a small villager in Bailucang, and I am just occupying a crack.
I can do something about lice." Mr. Leng said: "There is really no other way, so forget it. I'll leave this money to you, and we can have some time to drink." Tian Fuxian insisted and refused: "You seal the sack.
Yan loaded himself into the car and pulled him back, and I tried my best to think of a way; if you don't pull him away, I won't care." Mr. Leng said: "I have never done anything like this twice in my life."
After getting back on the road and driving out of the village, Lu Zilin sighed loudly: "Ah, sir, you are such a cold gentleman. You should have shown me the truth beforehand. You scared me... Sir, how much hard stuff is in the sack?"
Mr. Leng was sitting in the carriage and said calmly: "I didn't count. I never count money. All the goods I saved in the past few years have been brought out. Let Mr. Tian make an appointment to go there slowly." Lu Zilin sighed.
He stood up and said, "I'm afraid you can't put down these ten sacks of silver dollars." Mr. Leng said, "It doesn't matter if you put it down or not, I won't care about it anyway."
That night, Tian Fuxian freed up the silver coins from the sacks and buried them under the toon tree at the foot of the west wall in the courtyard. He didn't count them, but used a bamboo pole to pour the silver coins into the toon tree like picking up rocks and tiles.
In the deep pit under the tree, counting numbers no longer meant much. He then lived in the house of Xiyuan's former residence for three days, declining all the fawning new and old friends who came to say hello, saying only that he was too tired from doing business outside.
He couldn't stand it anymore and needed to recuperate at home for a few days. On the morning of the fourth day, he rode back to Bailucang. Later in the afternoon, he convened a joint meeting of nine townships and influential figures from large villages, and put forward a motion: "Request the province to
The government will escort Lu Zhaopeng back to Bailuyuan for justice." This received unanimous response from the participants. Tian Fuxian rode into the provincial capital the next day, broke into this office and went to the government office to speak hard and state the legitimate and strong demands of tens of thousands of Bailuyuan villagers.
, Lu, who had grown up and caused trouble in Bailuyuan, was escorted back to the original place to be punished on the spot; three days later, a petition group of more than 30 villagers headed by He Yaozu knelt down in front of the provincial government and declared
If you don't agree to their demands, you will kneel down forever and never get up; Yue Weishan, the party secretary of Zishui County of the Kuomintang, was recalled to the city by the provincial party headquarters. Not only did he not persuade the villagers to retreat, but he also persuaded the provincial party headquarters to seriously consider the villagers' demands. In this way,
Not only would it serve as a warning to others, but it would also allow all sectors of society to see how unpopular his actions were... Lu Zhaopeng was escorted back to Bailuyuan.
The killing site was chosen to the west of the earthen wall of the county's Bailu Town Junior Primary School. A row of seven deep pits were dug five feet away from the earthen wall. The seven tied people faced the wall. The most conspicuously dressed person was the only one wearing
Lu Zhaopeng in a brown robe knelt in the middle, and the other six bandits and thieves who were declared to be blocking the road for murder and robbery. It was obvious that this school was chosen as the execution ground. This school was instigated by Lu Zhaopeng.
The old nest of the revolution to show deterrence. The ones who enforced the criminal law were the members of the Bailucang regiment. They got the opportunity to show off for the first time since their formation, and stood in a row in a particularly mighty manner. The gunshots were fired, and a piece of blue smoke rose from the wall. Seven people
No one snorted before being killed, their upper and lower lips tied together with wires. Although the stone-printed murder notices were posted in the streets and alleys of every village, they still failed to arouse the enthusiasm and curiosity of the villagers. Hunger also played an unparalleled form.
Strong authority downplays the thrilling murder scene into indifference.
Lu Zhaopeng has been transferred to Bailu Academy. Tian Fuxian played a trick of substitution. Before Lu Zhaopeng was deported and returned to his hometown, Tian Fuxian brought back six death row inmates from the county prison. He said it was to build momentum, but in fact it was
In the evening of the night when Lu Zhaopeng was taken back to Bailucang, he only lay in the temporary prison cell for less than an hour, and then he was quietly carried onto a mule and horse cart that his father personally drove to replace him.
The scapegoat was forced to put on his robe. Mr. Leng repeated his old tricks and piled up ten sacks of medicinal materials on the cart, but instead of loading them with silver coins, they covered up a condemned prisoner. They drove the cart to the original location.
On the slope, he helped Zhaopeng and walked into Bailu Academy. After picking him up, Mr. Zhu said: "You go away and don't come back again."
Lu Zhaopeng hid in Bailu Academy and slept for three days in a row. The rounds of interrogations made him exhausted, and all the new criminal laws of the Republic of China made his body completely bruised. He slept for three days and three nights before he regained consciousness and his appetite increased sharply. His wife, Zhu Bai, gave him
After careful maintenance, he had a bowl of egg custard in the morning, a variety of pasta at lunch, and red bean and millet porridge at night, and his complexion soon became warm and moist.
Before he arrived, Mr. Zhu was assigned by the county government to help the victims of the disaster. He came back to the academy every once in a while. When he came back, he only asked about his physical recovery and left without any intention of chatting with him. This
In the evening, Mr. Zhu came back. He walked into his bedroom to say goodbye and express his gratitude to his gentle and kind wife. He saw his husband and his wife drinking a bowl of black stuff under the dim oil lamp. He could identify the black beans by the smell.
He was so bitter that he couldn't express the gratitude in his heart. Lu Zhaopeng sat down silently: "I'm leaving." The wife said: "You can walk." Mr. Zhu didn't say anything, stirring the bowl with chopsticks.
Zhaopeng asked in a relaxed and joking manner: "Sir, could you please predict the future outcome of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?" Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "The buckwheat seller and the glutinous rice flour seller
Who can win who? The two originate from the same thing." Zhaopeng wanted to explain, but Mr. Zhu actually continued: "I think the 'Three People's Principles' and 'Communism' are very similar, and one advocates 'the world is for the public'
, one family promotes "the world is for the common people". Since both families have the purpose of saving the country and supporting the people, doesn't it mean that "the world is for the common people" together? Why can't they come together and end up killing each other?
The fight is just for an independent dictionary, and the fight between selling buckwheat noodles and selling glutinous rice noodles is just for monopolizing the market. Since that is the case, I don't pay much attention to the 'end'..." Lu Zhaopeng couldn't help but feel sad: "It was them who destroyed the market.
Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party..." Mr. Zhu said: "It's just a 'fight between parents-in-law'." Lu Zhaopeng changed the topic and expressed the question that had been in his heart: "My dad and Mr. Leng saved me. I didn't expect it. What happened to Tian Fuxian?"
Will you let me go? I want to see them..." Mr. Zhu said: "They don't want to see you, so they just send you a few words, change your name and leave Xi'an, otherwise none of the people who saved you will live." Lu Zhaopeng said.
"I have to do this without their advice. It's hard for me to gain a foothold in Xi'an. Do you have anything else to say?" Mr. Zhu said, "Tian Fuxian asked Mr. Leng to ask you a question: If you really gain power in the future, can you tolerate it?"
"Let him go." Lu Zhaopeng couldn't help but was stunned, and he calmed down and said: "Let him live well. If I can live to the time he said, I must let him see that we are more aboveboard than them," Mr. Zhu said
: "The words Mr. Leng left for you are purely family matters: Give a woman a doll. Give her a baby, and his wife will be able to live in your house, and he himself will be able to maintain a face in Bailu Town...
Lu Zhaopeng sat down softly and held his head with both hands: "Oh my God, I'd rather let Tian Fuxian kill me." Mr. Zhu said, "Why have you become so narrow-minded again?" Lu Zhaopeng stood up suddenly:
"I can risk my life, but I can't bear the debt of saving their lives... Sir, I'm leaving, do you have anything to say to me?" Mr. Zhu smiled lightly: "I'm just looking forward to a drenching rain..."
