Four

Just when many people were worried about Sun Chengwei, Sun Chengwei swaggered back to Beiping.

On the afternoon of February 5, 1949, almost at the same moment when Inspector Liu and the bailiff came to deliver the summons, Mr. Sun Chengwei, a young lawyer in a suit and leather shoes, carried a heavy small suitcase and walked out of the first-class train carriage from Tianjin to Beiping and stepped onto the platform of the Qianmen Railway Station. The platform was chaotic and crowded, and sometimes some heavily armed PLA officers and soldiers walked by. On that day, Sun Chengwei was very nervous because he had something in his heart, especially worried that the heavily armed People's Liberation Army would pay attention to him.

In front of a newsboy, Sun Chengwei took out change and bought a newspaper.

While buying a newspaper, Sun Chengwei noticed that two suspicious people were staring at him.

Sun Chengwei put the newspaper in his arms, instinctively hugged the suitcase, and walked out of the platform quickly.

When I walked out of the platform, I saw two suspicious people still following behind me.

Sun Chengwei was a little panicked, jumped on a dilapidated rickshaw in front of him, hugged the small suitcase tightly, and asked the coachman to take him to the Imperial City Theater. As soon as he got in the car, Sun Chengwei kept urging the driver: "Hurry, hurry!"

In the distance, two stalkers dodged pedestrians coming and going, struggling to chase Sun Chengwei's car.

Sun Chengwei was really a little scared, looking back at the car from time to time, and even wanted to abandon the car and run away for a while.

Fortunately, when I saw that the two people were about to catch up, a Yangge team intervened and blocked the way of the two people. Sun Chengwei breathed a sigh of relief, and in the end, he arrived at the Imperial City Theater safely......

Unexpectedly, his old friend Chen Mengxiong was also in the Imperial City Theater, and he was cheeky and courteous to Liu Ruhua.

Seeing Sun Chengwei, Chen Mengxiong was really taken aback, and said: "Oh, my lawyer Sun, your old man is still alive in the world? We thought you were martyred in Tianjin! The fourth brother just talked about you!"

Sun Chengwei patted Chen Mengxiong's shoulder and said with a smile: "If I don't see you Chen Dogxiong, can I be martyred?!"

Chen Mengxiong bowed to Liu Ruhua: "Do you want to see her?"

Sun Chengwei looked at Liu Ruhua coquettishly: "What if it is? Who doesn't know that I am a faithful believer of the fourth child? Chairman Jiang said that he is a faithful believer of Premier Sun, so I, Sun Chengwei, am a faithful believer of Liu Ruhua!"

Liu Ruhua was very well received by Sun Chengwei, "Gege" smiled, and affectionately slapped Sun Chengwei: "Hey, Dawei, stop talking nonsense, Beiping is now liberated! I don't want to talk about Chairman Jiang, I want to talk about Chairman Mao!"

Chen Mengxiong's heart was sour, and he deliberately said: "Dawei, my Sanniang was still sad and crying for you just now!"

Sun Chengwei knew that Chen Mengxiong had something to say, but he didn't care at all, his eyelids rolled and said: "Dog bear, you are still embarrassed to mention you Sanniang! Is there a bad son like you in the world?"

Chen Mengxiong also heard the thorn in Sun Chengwei's words, and replied with a look of disdain: "What kind of son am I that slut! This tuberculosis ghost has never even laid a mouse!"

When the two were arguing, Liu Ruhua sat lazily on a stool and ate sugar gourds, and later called Sun Chengfen to come in and make water.

Sun Chengfen was taken aback when he saw Sun Chengwei, and was about to ask his brother when he went back to Beiping? Did he go back home? Without thinking or having time to speak, Sun Chengwei opened his mouth first, and asked his eldest sister with obvious surprise and displeasure: "Chengfen, why did you come to the sister troupe to comb your hair, ah......? Isn't that a deliberate attempt to disgrace me?"

Sun Chengfen said: "Brother, don't say it, you haven't heard from you for a few months, your family is dying, and the school in Jianchuan hasn't been closed for three months, how can we live?

Liu Ruhua was also unhappy, pouted and said: "Dawei, look at you, you are not in Beiping, you have difficulties at home, I am kind enough to help you, but I offended you?"

Sun Chengwei didn't want to get angry with Liu Ruhua, so he said to his sister Sun Chengfen angrily: "Okay, okay, from now on, you don't have to worry about money!"

Liu Ruhua winked at Sun Chengwei: "Oh, Barrister Sun, are you really rich?"

Sun Chengwei nodded to Liu Ruhua again and again, and said proudly: "It's made, it's made, it's easy to make a fortune this year! Fourth, tonight I will invite all of you to Quanjude to eat roast duck! Mengxiong, you go together, I always ate you in the past, and I will pay you back today!"

Chen Mengxiong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't, don't, Dawei, I still have something, our domestic company is in a mess now, I still sneaked out today, the old man knows how to scold......"

Liu Ruhua glanced at Chen Mengxiong and pouted: "Dog bear, look at your little bit of talent!"

Chen Mengxiong blushed and muttered: "This is not a matter of no interest! My father and they will go to ** tomorrow, and I am about to be free-hey, fourth, the matter of singing in our Dacheng company is so decided!"

Liu Ruhua nodded: "Okay, okay, dog bear, it's decided, you get out!"

Chen Mengxiong got up and hugged his fists to everyone: "Everyone, brothers, farewell, farewell!"

Sun Chengwei caught up: "Dream Bear, let's make it clear, I have invited this roast duck." ”

Liu Ruhua said: "Where, the bear owes us a meal now!"

Chen Mengxiong turned around at the door: "Okay, okay, even if I owe you a beating! When you go to Dacheng Company to sing, please-hey, Cheng Wei, since you are back, Chen Shimei will be skewered by you!"

Sun Chengwei responded again and again: "Good, good!"

After Chen Mengxiong left, Sun Chengfen also left - Sun Chengwei wanted to invite his sister to eat roast duck together, but Sun Chengfen didn't go, and said angrily that he wanted to go home to report the safety of his brother, who had made a fortune.

Sun Chengwei thought about it, so he didn't force it anymore.

When eating roast duck in Quanjude, Liu Ruhua asked seriously: "Cheng Wei, where did you make your fortune?"

Sun Chengwei smiled secretly: "Fourth, don't ask, it's hard to explain this matter." ”

Liu Ruhua noticed that Sun Chengwei still brought the small suitcase with him when he was eating roast duck, so he asked again: "What treasures are in there?"

Sun Chengwei pretended not to hear it, didn't answer Liu Ruhua's words at all, sat on the chair with full style, ate the roast duck very gently, and sighed: "Fourth, if you want me to say, we don't have much delicious food in Beiping, that is, this roast duck in Quanjude is quite good." French cuisine is definitely not as good as Tianjin Concession, and Russian cuisine can't catch up with Shanghai ......"

Liu Ruhua knocked on the table: "Okay, okay, Barrister Sun, don't eat French or Russian food, let's talk about your affairs in the past few months! We all thought you died in Tianjin, and you didn't even come to a letter!"

Sun Chengwei looked around vigilantly: "There's really nothing to say, even if you play back to black!"

Liu Ruhua snorted: "I see, maybe it's a dog eating a dog, right? Who did you bite with this time?"

Sun Chengwei held his head high exaggeratedly, and his thumb was raised to his nose: "Is there such a beautiful dog as me?"

Liu Ruhua laughed: "Dawei, why don't you have a serious time!"

On this night, the roast duck tasted nothing, Sun Chengwei didn't dare to spend the night with Liu Ruhua as usual because of the small suitcase, and after eating the roast duck, he carried the small suitcase and broke up with Liu Ruhua in front of the roast duck restaurant.

However, even with such care, Mr. Sun Chengwei still could not escape the doom of fate. Sun Chengwei never thought that the two gangsters who followed him from the Qianmen Railway Station were not successfully thrown off by him, but would follow him to the Imperial City Theater, and patiently followed him to the door of Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, and finally, to Liu Zhuangyuan Hutong.

Sun Chengwei was at the mouth of Liu Zhuangyuan Hutong, and suddenly found the two mysterious stalkers, frightened, trotted all the way through Liu Zhuangyuan Hutong, and inserted himself into Xiaozui Hutong, where he was located.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was no sign of people everywhere, and two mysterious stalkers quickly chased after them, a little unscrupulous.

Seeing that the stalker was about to catch up, Sun Chengwei was in a hurry, threw the small suitcase into a well next to him, turned around and fled to the mouth of Liu Zhuangyuan Hutong, but he escaped less than 100 steps, and the stalker pounced viciously.

Sun Chengwei retreated in panic and said softly to the two stalkers: "Two, two...... Two, let's have something to say...... Say. It was Tianjin Wei's Qian Wuye who made ...... Let you come? I'm ...... I know. I...... I'm talking about ...... I want to send things back to Fifth Master Qian......"

The two stalkers didn't know what Qian Wuye was at all, and their expressions were dazed, and they only asked, "Hey, where is your suitcase?"

Sun Chengwei pretended to be confused: "What suitcase?

The stalker said: "It's not wrong, we followed here from Qianmen Station, we've been with you for a long time, I always saw you holding a small suitcase, hand it over quickly, let's ...... the two of us" said, rushed up, first twisted Sun Chengwei fiercely, and later, kicked him, beat him, and forced him to hand over the suitcase.

Sun Chengwei was in a hurry and shouted for help, alarming the PLA who was patrolling.

The People's Liberation Army rushed over, pointed their guns at the robbers, and took the two robbers alive.

However, when the People's Liberation Army escorted away the two robbers, they did not let Sun Chengwei go, and asked Sun Chengwei to follow him.

Sun Chengwei had a ghost in his heart and didn't want to go, so he said to a person who looked like an officer: "Sir, yes...... They robbed me, I didn't rob them, I was the victim, I ...... I don't have to go with you, do I?"

The officer said kindly: "If your husband is not going, how can you explain this matter clearly tonight?

Sun Chengwei had to admit that he was unlucky, and followed the patrolling PLA to the military management branch.

So, the bad luck that belonged to Sun Chengwei whistled and continued to move forward - when the military management branch and the two robbers testified, Sun Chengwei vigorously denied that he had ever owned a heavy small suitcase, which aroused the deep suspicion of Liu Cunyi, the head of the regiment to which the patrol belonged. From that night on, Liu Cunyi and his subordinates stared at Sun Chengwei with vigilant eyes, but Sun Chengwei didn't know it......
