In one day, the huge earthquake caused by the assassination of Mr. Liao Zhongkai spread throughout the city, and the whole city was in turmoil, dark clouds were overwhelming, and all kinds of rumors were boiling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The armies stationed around Canton were horrified and put into a state of war readiness, the streets of the city were depressed, all industries were stagnant, and millions of frightened people rushed home to close their doors, trembling and praying that war would not come.

Fortunately, President Chiang, who was good at taking advantage of the situation, with the support of Wang Jingwei's faction, suddenly launched an emergency dispatch of two divisions of the Whampoa Army to impose martial law throughout the city, and nearly 1,500 teachers and students of the second and third phases of the Whampoa Military Academy were dispatched to take control of all the wharves along the Pearl River, and with the full support of the Comintern, mobilized all propaganda forces to seize the moral high ground and forced the Cantonese army who tried to take advantage of the opportunity to retreat into the camp and not dare to act rashly.

Immediately afterwards, the "National Daily" announced the identity and partial confession of the "Military Commissar of the South Road Headquarters of the Guangdong Army" of the arrested killer Chen Shun, and all kinds of rumors disappeared in the boiling public opinion.

On the third day, the Nationalist Government solemnly announced that Wang Ching-wei, Xu Chongzhi, and ****** would form a "special committee on the Liao case" and grant full political, military, and police powers to deal with the extraordinary situation.

With the continuous deepening of investigation, arrest, and interrogation, the inside story of the ups and downs of the case was gradually revealed, and a large number of high-level figures, including Hu Hanmin, the head of the party-state, were involved, and the main envoys who assassinated Liao Zhongkai, Zhu Zhuowen, Hu Yisheng, Wei Bangping, Liang Hongkai, Lin Zhimian, and others, were all well-known military and political dignitaries, and the forces behind them were deeply rooted and inextricably linked, causing an uproar from all walks of life at home and abroad.

In contrast, the heavily fortified eastern suburbs of the city were extremely quiet.

Every day, dozens of suspects are escorted to the small courtyard of the Ordnance Section, a battalion within a battalion, where hundreds of interrogators carefully selected from the military and political departments of the base camp carry out interrogations day and night in three shifts every day.

For half a month, the heavily guarded East Arena did not release a single suspect, but arrested more and more suspects, involving more and more people, and every interrogation material personally responsible for by the chief military judge would be copied as soon as possible, and then handed over to the heavily armed military police and urgently sent to the headquarters of the national government in the city.

As the "landlord" of the battalion within the battalion, although Zheng Yi was not a member of the Ministry of Military Justice and the special task force, he undertook extremely heavy logistical and security tasks, and was unable to step out of the small courtyard of the ordnance department for as long as 20 days, and the 46 brothers under his command stopped all training and cultural study, and in addition to cooking and delivering food and water for up to two companies of security gendarmes and hundreds of military judges and interrogators, he also had to be responsible for the food and security of more than 100 prisoners.

In order to prevent the death of those important people who were tortured, Zheng Yi, who was the head of the lieutenant colonel's section, served as a doctor for temporary treatment and a cook for liquid food more than once, and his profound knowledge and responsible spirit won the praise of military judges and gendarmes, and even the prisoners who were treated and treated well could not help but be grateful to Zheng Yi.

On 15 September, Wang Ching-wei, chairman of the Standing Committee of the Nationalist Government and chairman of the Military Commission, suddenly announced that the investigation and collection of evidence in the "Liao case" had come to an end for the time being, and that a formal verdict would be pronounced in the near future.

As soon as the news came out, all eyes were on it.

Hundreds of Chinese and foreign reporters flocked to the door of the Nationalist Government to ask for interviews, but few people knew that a political deal that changed the history of China had come to an end, and few people knew that in just 20 days, one thrilling political contest after another had taken place in the revolutionary camp.

Three days later, a large number of heavyweights, including Hu Hanmin, the founding father of the party-state, and Xu Chongzhi, commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army, went abroad to take refuge, but Hu Yisheng and Wei Bangping, who planned and directed the murder, had already fled to Hong Kong and miraculously received a pardon from prosecution.

Liang Hongkai, commander of the First Army of the Guangdong Army, and dozens of other dignitaries involved in the case were quietly released after the deal was concluded, and the entire military regime was concentrated in the hands of Wang Jingwei and President Chiang, who had sprung up in the alien army.

The clouds are thick and the autumn wind is blowing.

Zheng Yi, who had a neat military appearance, stood solemnly in front of the office door, full of righteous indignation and disappointment, and coldly watched the military judges who were hurrying to board the car and leave.

"Xiao Zheng, you've worked hard for you this time! You and your soldiers have done a very good job, not only to feed our gendarmes and military judges three times a day, but also to treat five seriously wounded prisoners, without a single death, and I will give you credit when I return. ”

Director Zhou, who served as the judge of the General Army, quietly came to Zheng Yi's side and stood side by side to watch the officers and soldiers who boarded the car.

Zheng Yi shook his head slightly: "It's serious, there is no credit to be given to the matter." ”

Director Zhou, whose eyes were bloodshot, looked at Zheng Yi: "Do you have other ideas?" ”

Zheng Yi, who was disgruntled, sighed leisurely: "It doesn't matter what a little person like me thinks, what matters is whether justice is served, and where is the entire revolutionary camp going from here?" ”

Director Zhou was slightly surprised: "How could you have such an idea?" ”

Zheng Yi simply put his mind down, turned around, and complained to Director Zhou: "Since the founding of the Kuomintang, all kinds of assassination cases have emerged in endlessly, from Tao Chengzhang to Song Jiaoren, and then from Deng Keng to Liao Zhongkai, every time it shocked the world and was vigorous, but the black curtain behind it has never been revealed. ”

"Looking at the history of the development of the Kuomintang, it is simply an earth-shattering history of assassination, and this political party, which has developed for several decades, still has no clear political direction, no perfect organizational structure, and no supervision mechanism, and can never get rid of its bad nature of the gangs!"

"In the case of Liao alone, although I stayed in this heavily guarded and closed place every day, what I saw from the interrogations of the military judges, the complaints and remorse of the injured prisoners, the newspapers delivered every day, and the puzzled inquiries of the brothers who served as guards under my command were not justice upheld and the revolutionary camp purified, but the shocking shady scenes and political transactions hidden behind the case!"

"To put it bluntly, the Comintern and your party, which have made an important contribution to this end, have not only not gained any benefit, but have created an even greater hidden danger!"

Director Zhou was shocked, and looked at Zheng Yi, who was flushed with anger, speechless.

After Zheng Yi finished venting, he quickly calmed down, and when he saw Director Zhou's stunned appearance, he suddenly felt a little weak, looked around and saw that no one was approaching, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice: "Please Director Zhou don't care about my nonsense, it is estimated that I am too tired during this time, please bear with me if I am abrupt!" ”

"Okay, I won't send you, the Russian aid equipment that arrived the day before yesterday has not yet been registered, so I'll go and get busy first."

Director Zhou wanted to stop Zheng Yi to have a good discussion, but he couldn't say the words, so he could only look at Zheng Yi's tall back in a hurry, and the shock in his heart couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

As night fell, the small courtyard of the ordnance department returned to its original calm, and the dozens of brothers who were finally able to gather around for a good meal lost their previous lively looks, each face was full of haggardness, every pair of eyes were full of doubts, and none of them smiled in the face of the sumptuous chicken, duck and fish.

Zheng Yi, who was in a special position directly north of the long table, pulled out the bowl of rice three times and two times, and then drank half a bowl of soup in two sips, put down the bowl, silently glanced at the young faces looking at him, hesitated for a moment, and commanded in a low voice:

"Tonight's duty guard is in charge of Wang Huchen's first shift, the second and third shifts are all resting, there is no need to go out to exercise tomorrow morning, after the cleaning, the shift will be on vacation in turns, and the three-day shift is over, and the brothers who want to send money home will pay attention to safety after entering the city, and anyone who has not enough money will come to me tomorrow morning."

After Zheng Yi finished speaking, he left, went back and took out a change of underwear and underwear, and went to the big bathroom with the guard Duan Xuan.

Han Shouren, the leader of the third squad, put the remaining rice into three large pots, then put the leftover fish and chicken together, removed the fish bones and bones, mixed well with the three pots of rice, and took it to the newly built kennel next to the house to feed the six half-year-old sheepdogs sent by the German foreign company a week ago.

Twenty-year-old Han Shouren is tall and has long arms, thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and like most of the brothers, he is from Lunan and has been lucky to become the playmate of the young master of the owner since he was a child.

What is commendable is that Han Shouren never forgot his tenant farmer background, never forgot the ideal of serving the country and serving the army on the battlefield since he was a child, until the young master of the owner went east to Japan to study, he was free, signed up for the army, and came to Guangzhou, which has become a revolutionary holy land, and then rushed to the battlefield in eastern Guangdong with thousands of recruits from various provinces, and became Zheng Yi's subordinates in a daze, and gradually grew up under Zheng Yi's education and training day after day, showing the valuable quality of hard-working and diligent, and making rapid progress in all aspects. People have also become mature and stable, and they are deeply trusted and respected by Zheng Yi.

In the past half a month, Han Shouren, like Wang Huchen, the first squad leader, Li Lianshan, the second squad leader, and all the brothers, participated in the logistics and defense work of the "Liao case" throughout the whole process, heard and met many people and things that subverted the outlook on life, and immediately encountered shock and confusion that he had never encountered in his life.

Unlike all the brothers, Han Shouren did not tell the boss Zheng Yi about the many questions in his heart, but thought silently, he knew that the boss had been very unhappy recently, and he didn't even care about his favorite German puppy, so he took the initiative to take over the task of domesticating German Shepherds, and patiently waited for the boss to solve his doubts.

Late at night, the dim light still shines through the office window.

Han Shouren, who had taken a shower and changed into a clean military uniform, quietly came to the door of the office, and unexpectedly found Li Lianshan, the stocky and sturdy second squad leader, standing silently outside the door.

Li Lianshan saw Han Shouren coming silently, knowing that he had the same mind as himself, and was just about to go over and whisper a few words to Han Shouren, when he heard Zheng Yi's voice coming from the house.

The two hurriedly sorted out their military uniforms and pushed the door in, saluted Zheng Yi behind the desk, and found that Duan Xuan, who was the most capable of fighting, had already brought two cups of hot tea.

Zheng Yi motioned for the two to sit down and drink tea, rubbed his sour eyes, and put away the manuscript on the table: "Brothers, are you resting?" ”

"They're all lying down."

Li Lianshan, who had an upright temperament, hurriedly replied.

Han Shouren said quietly: "Our brothers in the third class have also slept, but I don't know how many of them can sleep. ”

Zheng Yi silently looked at the two generals: "Recently, there have been a lot of bad things, all of which are ugly acts of buying and selling officials, calculating each other, and embezzlement and corruption, so everyone is shocked, and I never dreamed that in the revolutionary camp founded by Mr. Zhongshan, there would be so many prominent people doing so many dirty things, and I feel that it is completely different from the original revolutionary education and revolutionary propaganda in the army, so I can't accept it in my heart, I can't understand, right?" ”

Han Shouren and Li Lianshan nodded hurriedly, and Duan Xuan also sat on the chair on the side and listened attentively.

Zheng Yi instructed everyone not to be restrained, drank his tea and sighed: "I am as sad and unacceptable as you, but we are all small people, and nothing can be changed." ”

Seeing Zheng Yi's helpless face, Li Lianshan's stunned heart made another mistake: "We are revolutionary troops!" Those generals and revolutionary fathers...... How can there be so much dirt? What is the difference between this and the reactionary warlord Zhang Zongchang and his ilk in our hometown? ”

Zheng Yi was speechless, silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Lianshan, Shouren, do you believe me?" ”

Li Lianshan and Han Shouren were so frightened that they hurriedly stood up, Li Lianshan said, "Big brother, what are you talking about", Han Shouren nodded heavily, and said I don't believe anyone to believe you, big brother.

Zheng Yi stood up and walked to Li Lianshan and Han Shouren's side: "Since you believe me, go back to sleep, no matter what the road ahead is, I, Zheng Yi, will never take you into the ditch." Go back and tell the brothers, I, Zheng Yi, am as sad and unable to figure it out as everyone else, but we must not interrupt our study and training because of this, let alone shake our revolutionary ideals! I'm sure we'll find out soon, remember? ”

"Remembered ......"
