Chapter 35: Two Old Men and a Twist of Fate
In those days, Ye Haodong became interested in the old man who was imprisoned in the adjacent No. 1 single room, who was full of rebellious thoughts and thoughts, but did not say a word during the day. The old guy didn't have much interest in Ye Haodong at first. But I can't stand Ye Haodong is too boring, if you have nothing to do, you will talk to this old man about your own affairs, after a long time, this old man will gradually react to Ye Haodong's words that deliberately provoke his mood, and occasionally talk to him to grab a few words. The old man's words made Ye Haodong clearly feel that there was a super old and angry young man on the other side of the wall, and he was still extremely violent.
As time went by, the two became more and more familiar, and in addition to eating and sleeping in the past few days, the two of them have been talking nonsense. The old gentleman has never said anything, but it is not difficult for Ye Haodong to imagine that it must be small, not only is the old guy locked up in the No. 1 single room, but also because the old man is very good at talking and smart, Ye Haodong feels that a master like him either does not make mistakes, and if he makes mistakes, he must not be small. These days, they never agreed on an opinion when chatting, and it wasn't until Ye Haodong said those words on a whim that day, and the old man fell into a whole day of contemplation, and this endless debate came to an end.
"You say that it is for national independence and freedom, you just want to make trouble, you want to rebel, I want to ask you, do you have ancestors? What kind of life did your ancestors live? Why didn't they rebel against the government? Do you understand what's going on? When Tang Gaozu was in power, Li Yuan once subdued your ancestor, but what happened after that? Your ancestors were chased by Li Yuan's son, part of them went to Europe, and part of them surrendered, do you know why? The world's major events are determined, and that is an unstoppable trend! You said that if all the people in the world were loyal and benevolent, there would be no change of dynasty, which became one of the reasons for your rebellion, but have you ever thought about which of those rebels succeeded in the peaceful years? You really thought about it, that's why you did those things that tried to stir up the general situation in the world and secretly colluded with several foreign forces, do you think that in this way you can make a Chinese version of Georgia and Chechnya? You are still sober and sober, the general trend of today's world is development! There can be war for this, there can be peace for this, do you think that the forces abroad that support you are here to help you realize your so-called lofty ideals? Have you ever thought that in the Middle East, those disciples of your fellow sects are fighting to the death with that bullshit force for the same ideals as yours? In the face of the halal disciples in the Middle East, why don't they talk about ideals and democracy? In the end, you are just a small bargaining chip for them to blackmail the Huaxia government, are you naïve enough to think that you have more bargaining chips than the Huaxia government? Stirring up the general trend of the world? Do you see the general trend clearly? You are just a bunch of misguided thieves who have been used by others and are full of false thoughts! From a person's point of view, buddy admires you for being a bloody man who dares to act, but as a member of the Chinese national family, buddy looks down on you. ”
Ye Haodong's words were a summary speech summed up by this guy after the two of them debated a lot in the past few days, and basically every word was held in his heart for a long time, so in the end, he almost shouted these words. He never thought that his words would not only play a deafening role, but also save his own life.
After the argument was over, the old man was silent for a whole day. Later, he called the management cadres and said that they wanted to confess their guilt.
On the tenth day of Ye Haodong's imprisonment here, the old man came to the day of confession, before leaving, he suddenly broke free from the escort bailiff, came to the door of Ye Haodong's cell, and put himself on the electric baton behind him, and said something to Ye Haodong that made the prison guards feel inexplicable: "Little ghost, the old man has calculated it for you, what about your boy's seventy years of luck, you said that you picked up a life last time with the help of nobles, then I tell you, you can't die this time, your savior is coming soon, For the sake of the old man who gave you a hexagram for free and told you so much about the world these days, you send me a message after you go out, tell my son, let that villain surnamed Hou get out, the big things in the world will follow the trend, and if you can't do it, you have to give up quickly, he really wants to face the difficulties, and he must stay in this world like him. ”
Ye Haodong remembered that when he was bored, he told the old man about his seventy years of great luck, and he was a little incredulous at his words, and he didn't dare to report much hope, what Ye Haodong never expected was that his nobleman would really come at night. Moreover, the origin of this noble person can be called a soil emperor-level figure in the region.
Shang Yunxiao, director of the local National Security Bureau, and Gao Ping, lieutenant general commander of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, jointly came to ask for an inquiry into Ye Haodong's case. Ye Haodong was taken into the car by these two top figures in a daze. In the detention room of the military region, what follows is the endless pre-trial, the main content of which is even more strange. It turned out to be all about Ye Haodong's conversation with the old man during his detention in the confinement area.
Through the introduction of others, Ye Haodong knew that before he was imprisoned, this old man named Kria Khanjiang had been detained for nearly two years in 97 years, but he never said a word! Ye Haodong is the only person who has had a language exchange with him in the past two years. Surveillance and listening equipment installed inside the prison recorded their loud and heated conversations. The old man's sudden confession attracted the attention of the leaders, and the National Security Bureau called up the video materials of the detention center these days.
After being detained in the detention room of the military region for three days, Ye Haodong's case finally miraculously ushered in a turning point, the main responsibility that should have been borne by him fell on the head of the vegetative boxwood, and the secondary responsibility actually fell on the head of Lin Xiangwu, who was not well supervised, and the party recorded a major demerit, on the grounds that Xu Shao had not fully grasped the situation of the squadron when he first arrived, Xu Shao was the third person responsible, and he only received a verbal warning from his superiors, and Ye Haodong was miraculously characterized as a stress reaction of self-defense after being subjected to fatal abuse, The boxwood, who was punched in the head by Ye Haodong no less than 30 times, was said to have caused this consequence caused by a punch, and in court, several forensic doctors and the 'brick family' of the reclamation district hospital came forward to confirm this. As a result, Ye Haodong was found to be completely justified in self-defense, and there was no responsibility for the entire incident. This also made Ye Haodong miraculously a unique prisoner of three legitimate defenses.
In the future, he will spend his sentence in a special prison where military and political prisoners are held in the military region, and all the handover procedures will be completed within one day, and Ye Haodong will be taken to a new place where he is serving his sentence in a daze, a very special place, the political department of the southern Xinjiang military region, and the political and military crime reform management center.
After being interrogated at multiple levels in a row, the things that Ye Haodong knew were finally beyond words. It was only then that the political department of the military region and the National Security Bureau gradually lost interest in him. Ye Haodong finally had the leisure to thoroughly understand this strange special prison.
This is a small courtyard located in the core of the garrison of the troops directly under the military region. There are no high walls of the power grid here, there are no guards and searchlights standing guard in shifts, there are no vicious management cadres here, and even the daily management is very lax, the prisoners who live here are generally more than sixty years old and a few, and they can move around each other at will, although the management here is so loose, and the security is so sparse, but Ye Haodong absolutely believes that no matter how many bullish prisoners are, there will be no chance to escape from here! Not only because of the ubiquity of surveillance and listening equipment that basically has no dead spots, but also because of the tens of thousands of troops stationed around this courtyard and the tightly connected and well-guarded military camps where they live.
One day half a month after living here, Ye Haodong was surprised to meet a close relative who had a major blood relationship with him but had never met each other. Ye Haodong's grandfather, Mr. Ye Ying.
This is another legendary figure.
Ye Ying, born in 1915 in a small bureaucratic family in Fengtian City, his father Ye Boda was born in the late Qing Dynasty, and he was a petty official of the Qing government and a petty civil official under Zhang Dashuai. In 1931, he was admitted to the Fengcheng Martial Arts School founded by the Northeast Army with excellent results, and in the same year, the Japanese army attacked Fengcheng by force, and the 918 Incident broke out. Sixteen-year-old Ye Ying enlisted in the army ahead of schedule and became a platoon commander of the Northeast Army. Nine months later, at the age of 17, Ye Ying became the youngest battalion-level officer in the Northeast Army, because all the officers above the company level of his unit were killed, and the establishment of the unit was retained. In those days, this kind of thing was not uncommon and not a big deal.
The biggest turning point in Ye Ying's life occurred in 1938. In that year, he had been promoted to colonel of the 102nd Regiment of the 53rd Brigade of the 66th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and concurrently served as the acting commander of the 53rd Brigade. In that year, a Fengcheng ** man named Gu Xiangying became his chief of staff, and they were like-minded with each other. Ye Ying was influenced by Gu Xiangying, and had a deeper reflection on the fate of the revolution to China, and with the long contact, by the end of 1944, Ye Ying, who was already the commander of the 105th Division of the 66th Army, finally made up his mind to lead his troops to join the Eighth Route Army led by **.
The following year, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the clouds of civil war, he resolutely led his troops to join the party before the outbreak of the war. The next thing, the civil war between the two sides, Ye Ying followed the four fields to the north and south, and made great achievements. After the establishment of the New China Republic, he also became one of the generals of the Republic in terms of meritorious deeds, and his glittering rank of lieutenant general and the status of deputy secretary of the Northeast Bureau made him really beautiful for several years.
His first imprisonment took place in 1958, when he was implicated by Gao, the chairman of the Northeast Administrative Committee, four years earlier, and was reduced to a subordinate prisoner. However, he then returned to work in 1962 under the strong mediation of his old superiors. When he returned home, he learned that his wife and two young children had starved to death two years earlier.
Fate seems to be intent on torturing the three generations of the Ye family, and just when the whole family thought that the good days were back, the bold general stabbed the basket again.
