Chapter 96: The Last Man to Be Saved
After Xiang Ziliang and Li Bingyi recognized each other, they hit it off at first sight and talked about many past events. Everyone is a person in their prime, and when they talk about many past events, of course, they sigh. For this reason, Li Bingyi insisted on keeping the old spy.
Keeping the guests behind, of course, it won't just be Li Bingyi drinking with Xiang Ziliang. In Jinling City, Professor Li is also a person who responds to every call. Under his greeting, many escorts soon came. Speaking of the identities of these escorts, although they are not as noble as Kong Daren. But in Jinling City, it is not easy to offend.
The people who suffered the same thing as Li Bingyi back then, a total of fifty-two people were released from the cage through Xiang Ziliang's hands. There are only thirty-nine people who really listened to Xiang Ziliang's persuasion and survived. After Li Bingyi and Xiang Ziliang reunited, they immediately issued a summoning order. There are only seven people who are still alive and living in Jinling City or not far from the neighborhood. As soon as these old guys heard the news, of course, they heard the news.
A group of gray-haired old people sat together and talked about the past, of course, sighing. After talking too much, it is inevitable to mention some incomprehensible things back then. Lao Wen, who retired from the position of executive vice governor, asked a little puzzled: "Xiang Lao, I inquired about you after the liberation, and I also asked people from the police system to help." They all said you were gone the night we were released from prison. I want to ask, is it because of our affairs that you can't hide in the Military Control Bureau? ”
Such questions are not only shared by Lao Wen, but also by others. The older generation of people has a special complex of repaying gratitude. The grace of dripping water still needs to be reciprocated by springs, not to mention that this is a life-saving grace. It was unthinkable in that generation that after falling down and being rescued, the person who blamed the rescuer for hitting himself was simply unthinkable in that generation.
After the liberation, these survivors are searching for Xiang Ziliang's whereabouts through different channels. I would like to meet you last time to express my gratitude. Who knows, the result of finding the most lull is that on the evening of the day they were rescued, Xiang Ziliang also disappeared.
"Ha Luha, you all know that I released fifty-two people that day. Actually, I saved fifty-three people that day. The first fifty-two people were released by me, which may be a little troublesome, but it will not let me arouse the suspicion of those spies, let alone make me unable to gain a foothold in the military command. The person who really caused me to have an accident was the last person I saved. Xiang Ziliang stroked his short beard. As he spoke, the scene of the year appeared in front of his eyes.
That day was April 20th. The day is imminent when the army will cross the river. After receiving the order to 'rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one', Xiang Ziliang also took on the task of identifying the prisoners.
The so-called identification is just a formality. The vast majority of people simply asked their names, then put a checkmark, and they were directly put on the execution ground. In those days, the gunshots on the execution ground were constantly ringing.
After a whole day of identification, although he didn't do anything, he also made Xiang Ziliang exhausted. After all, it is in full view, and it is necessary to rescue those who yearn for the light, but also not to be too conspicuous. It's hard work, and of course it's extra tiring. In the evening, just as Xiang Ziliang was about to leave the interrogation room and go home to rest, he suddenly heard a commotion.
"Let's go, let's go!" Several heavily armed military policemen, escorting a middle-aged man wearing a top hat and a long shirt, were pushing and shoving towards the cell. This kind of thing has long been commonplace in Jinling City, which is already precarious.
When the man walked to the door of the interrogation room, Xiang Ziliang slammed into the door. The other party didn't know him, but he knew that the other party was the liaison officer of the enemy engineering department of the field army, named Ji Rufei. Oops! This was Xiang Ziliang's first reaction.
On the eve of the imminent outbreak of this kind of war, Ji Rufei came to Jinling City, there must be a special mission. And the damage that he may cause if he is arrested at such a time is not ordinarily large. If there is a dispersion, it can affect the army's river-crossing operations.
"Stop! What kind of person is that? Bring it to me and show it. Xiang Ziliang gave the order without thinking. When the military police saw that it was the chief of operations of the Military Command Bureau, they of course did not say a word, and immediately sent the prisoner to the interrogation room.
"I know you as the Minister of the Ministry of Enemy Works. Say, "Is there anything you need my help to do?" As soon as the other party was brought into the interrogation room, the military police, large and small, were blasted out of the door. Xiang Ziliang saw that his adjutant was already standing at the door, and knew that there was no time to wait, so he immediately played his hole cards.
As soon as Ji Rufei heard that the military commander spy in front of him reported to his home, he also understood the details of the other party. Originally, he was preoccupied, and immediately said happily: "You are a 'nightingale', I was sent to the city by Minister Ren, and I have an urgent task to deploy." As soon as he got near the contact point, he was arrested. ”
Xiang Ziliang blinked, and his eyebrows were tightly locked. That contact point was only found by another system last night, and due to the short period of time, the news of the accident has not yet been heard. The military commander set up a secret post around there, and the people who appeared at this time certainly wouldn't let it go lightly.
The arrest of a liaison officer like Ji Rufei is a major matter for both the enemy and us. Once the news spreads, it will certainly immediately attract the attention of the top echelons of the military command. At that time, there is no way to save people if they want to. If you want to save it, the best time is now.
If, as we did just now, in the name of insufficient evidence or wrongful arrest, we let those university professors and well-known people go, it will definitely not work. Xiang Ziliang walked rapidly in the interrogation room.
At the moment of the great enemy, Ji Rufei's task must be extraordinary, and he must be escorted out of the city quickly. It's just that things are very sensitive, and if you are not careful, you can expose yourself to your true form. What to do? The two must be one of them, and they can only take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, surprise, hit a time difference, and gamble. It's just that in this way, he can't continue to hide in the military command.
"That's it, Comrade Ji Rufei, you have to die once before you can get out of the cage. Don't worry, just let me tell you everything. Xiang Ziliang gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Next, the soldiers standing guard nearby heard Xiang Ziliang's shouting and scolding. After scolding to the extreme, I only heard Xiang Ziliang slap the table and say, "Spy, you must be a spy." In times of emergency, direct execution is sufficient. Come, put him in the car, and I will personally send him to God. ”
Xiang Ziliang and the adjutant, as well as two soldiers, escorted Ji Ru into a jeep. As their car drove out of the prison gates, a sedan sped from the opposite side. The adjutant whispered, "Director, it's the car." ”
"Leave him alone, run through." At this time, there is no room for hesitation. Xiang Ziliang gritted his teeth and directly put his pistol on a soldier's waist. The other soldier's head was also forced by Ji Rufei with a pistol.
Seeing such a scene, the two soldiers, of course, knew what was going on, and hurriedly begged for mercy and said, "The chief spares his life, the chief spares his life." ”
"Be silent, and I'll let you live. Otherwise, hmph, you'll see for yourself! Xiang Ziliang rubbed it repeatedly, forcing the two soldiers to obediently bow their heads and go out of the city together.
The sedan that Xiang Ziliang encountered was indeed a car with a bureau seat. The other party learned that a suspect had been arrested near the liaison station, and rushed over to interrogate him. Unexpectedly, Xiang Ziliang was one step ahead of him, so he missed it.
The bureau found that Xiang Ziliang did not stop at the gate, and he was puzzled. When he learned that the suspect was personally taken to the execution ground by Xiang Ziliang for execution, he became even more suspicious. Although such a thing is normal for Xiang Ziliang to do. It's just that today's Xiang Ziliang is a little impatient. Especially in front of the prison gate, when I met the chief's car, not only did it not stop, but it sped away, which was even more suspicious.
With so many suspicions, the bureau immediately contacted the execution site. Knowing that Xiang Ziliang didn't take anyone to the execution ground at all, the bureau was fooled and immediately launched a search and arrest in the whole city. All of a sudden, the whole city was blaring with sirens, and trucks after trucks were loaded with heavily armed soldiers, rushing to the place where Xiang Ziliang might be hiding.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and all these efforts were doomed to be in vain. At this time, Xiang Ziliang had already knocked the two soldiers unconscious and thrown them to the side of the road, and sent Ji Rufei to the new contact point, and then left the city with the adjutant.
A week later, Xiang Ziliang and his adjutant, dressed in liberation uniforms, returned to Jinling City. By the time they arrived at the unrecognizable Military Command Bureau, it was already empty. As for the news after he escaped, it was just that Zhilu Dao Bureau spent so much effort and only caught two soldiers who were pushed out of the car. Without knowing anything, the two soldiers became scapegoats and were killed on the spot by the tyrannical bureaucracy.
"Xiang Lao, the Ji Rufei you are talking about is probably the Ji Director of the Congress." After listening to such a long period of singing and crying past, these old people were amazed by Xiang Ziliang's experience of birth and death. At this moment, Li Bingyi interjected.
He is a well-known legal expert in the country, and Ji Rufei is the deputy director of the National Assembly in charge of legal affairs, and the two of them certainly have a lot of contacts. In addition, Ji Rufei's experience of working in Jinling has given them a lot of common topics. In ordinary conversations, Li Bingyi also heard Ji Rufei talk about the experience of being in distress in Jinling. When I heard Xiang Ziliang say this today, of course, I connected these two things together.
"Professor Li, you're right. I heard Director Ji talk about the past. He entered the city on the eve of the liberation of Jinling and almost died. Vice Governor Wen gently tapped the lid of the teacup in his hand on the tabletop, and also confirmed it on the side.
As soon as Li Bingyi heard Vice Governor Wen's words, he immediately stood up excitedly and said, "I'll call Director Ji now." Xiang Lao, if Director Ji gets your news, I don't know how happy Lu Dao will be! ”
"Is that so? If that's the case, that's a good thing. Xiang Ziliang's words are a bit incomprehensible. First there was a question, then a non-committal taste. Li Bingyi, who was in the midst of excitement, of course he would not pay attention, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Xiang Ziliang's mouth.
