Chapter 22: Surprise Interrogation of Li Changji

This time, Lao Balu saw clearly, it was the militia led by Xiao Zhuge who escorted Li Changji over, but there was no commissioner who did it!

The surrounding crowd also saw Li Changji, and the people who were full of righteous indignation were suddenly ignited with anger in their hearts again! A large crowd of people rushed in that direction like a tide!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Balu immediately notified all companies, formed a wall, signaled Xiao Zhuge to hurry back, and signaled the militia to also escort Xiao Zhuge and them to rush back, the sooner the better, don't have an accident!

Lao Balu remembered that question again, who leaked the news? At that time, there was still a period of time before Li Changji was captured, how did the masses know that we had caught Li Changji? And I knew the Tao in advance, which is not logical, isn't this a little strange! Deliberate sabotage to create chaos? Trying to take the opportunity to obstruct the arrest of Li Changji, or kidnap Li Changji? Is it possible? Thousands of our armed forces, all here, who has such guts ?!

Lao Balu couldn't figure out the reason and motive for this!

The shouts and scolding of the masses are all in one! All the militiamen joined hands in two rows to form an airtight wall, and they escorted the personnel escorting Li Changji, all the way to the east!

Xiao Zhuge ran over and reported the situation to Lao Balu, this kid is dying, his mouth is still so hard, he just doesn't say where their commissioner went. Lao Balu said, don't worry, he will let him open his mouth. Lao Balu turned around and said to the party representatives, what do you think about this matter? The party representative said that in this environment, we can't say clearly, let's go back to the headquarters to discuss this matter, not only this matter, although we have caught Li Changji, but there are still many things that need to be done in front of us! Lao Balu said "um", then let's go back first, the troops are already tired, go back and discuss!

Grabbed Li Changji's old eight roads and breathed a long sigh of relief, his body and mind were very tired, working day and night, his mind was constantly turning every day, big and small, the overall arrangement, every detail needed him to arrange; It's not in vain to catch this bully! How difficult is the supreme directive of "not killing a single person, not arresting most of them, and suppressing and leniency" for these extremely vicious counter-revolutionaries and bandits! What does the commissioner's leakage illustrate? It seems that the battle is over, but the reactionary forces that have slipped through the net and hidden are even more terrible than this battle! They hide in the crowd, just like ordinary people, they will pretend to be more kind than ordinary people, if you want to return a pure land in the world, if you don't catch these people, everything is in vain! The more Lao Balu thought about it, the more serious the problem became, and his mood couldn't be calm anymore!

Lao Balu is at the entrance of the village, Xiaozhi moves with reason, proceeds from the overall situation of the country, explains the importance of Li Changji to the people, and when the matter is dealt with, Li Changji will definitely accept the people's trial, his heinous responsibility is not only limited to the people, but also the country, the party is the people's party, is the backbone of the people, and in the end we will definitely be ashamed of the people!

It took a lot of effort to persuade the people to go home!

Lao Balu held a meeting with the party representatives and other leaders, the battle is over, but the matter is not over, the task left to us is still very arduous, we must not slack off and be sloppy! The arraignment of Li Changji is the top priority at present, and the disappearance of the commissioner, this mystery, if we are not solved for a day, we will not be able to rest assured for a day; Let's imagine how cunning this guy Li Changji is, but he was still caught by us, but this biggest black hand behind the scenes was under our noses, surrounded by tens of thousands of armed forces, so that he escaped inexplicably! Come to think of it, what does this mean?! Li Changji has caught it, how many mysteries are hidden in him, this is the top priority we need to overcome and solve! Hidden among them are those Kuomintang spies, scattered among the people, there is no one known to Li Changji, his notoriety, after all, is the first choice of the Kuomintang reactionaries, he must know a lot of little-known insiders! According to Xiao Zhuge after he came back, when he asked Li Changji where the commissioner had gone in the cave, Li Changji once said, "You want to catch him?" Dream on you guys! It seems that this commissioner is by no means an ordinary Kuomintang spy, and this has also been confirmed from the other bandit leaders who have thrown themselves into the city! Second, we must also inquire about the bandit leaders who have been caught, and also interrogate them, and which Kuomintang spies have been in contact with them in normal times, and whether or not they know their whereabouts, and we must record them. The battle is easy to fight, and this kind of battle without gunpowder smoke is the most difficult battle to overcome!

When the battle is over, the first thing to do is to report back to the General Command. Lao Balu asked everyone to see if there was anything else to say or add, and the other leaders looked at each other and said, no; Lao Balu looked at the party representative again and said, "Where do you look?" The party representative said that what the old secretary just said is very detailed, the analysis is also very comprehensive, and the main points of the future work are also very clear, I have nothing to say for the time being. Everyone nodded yes in unison!

Lao Balu picked up the phone and made a truthful report on the situation here, and asked his superiors to give instructions on the next step. In light of the current situation of the struggle, the leaders at higher levels have made the following arrangements: At present, the whole country is actively carrying out the severe punishment of the counterrevolutionary leaders who have committed the most heinous crimes in the later stage of the battle, and our situation is rather special, and the end of the battle is relatively late, and the next task is to learn from the localities on the issue of liquidation in the later period, and we must let them accept the people's judgment and make an example of each of them, and we will never tolerate them! For those who have absconded and hidden, we must find out through various means and pursue them by taking advantage of the victory, and we must never let them disrupt social order and undermine the security of the state and the people again; secondly, we must strictly guard against enemy and special elements from infiltrating our organs in camouflage and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate and sabotage the fruits of our victory; some localities have already discovered such problems, and we must always heighten our vigilance, keep our eyes open, and absolutely not allow their conspiracy to succeed!

The most old leader asked, is there anything else to say?

Lao Balu said, according to your instructions just now, I really have some questions to say. The old leader on the other end of the phone said "um", then you say. Lao Balu went on to say that our original policy was the guiding principle of "not killing one, not arresting most of them, and combining suppression and leniency", as long as they are bandits who take the initiative to surrender to the city and do not become enemies of the people, we should give them a way out. In this campaign to suppress bandits, the vast majority of them took the initiative to surrender to the city under the inspiration of the policy, and I think it is better for them to be open-minded, after all, we have to talk about it! There is only one person who stubbornly resists, and there is one person who hesitates, if you want to say that you want to make an example of one hundred and play a deterrent role, I have no opinion on these two people!

The old leader pondered for a moment and said: There have been some changes in the orientation of the struggle now, and what you mentioned is not unreasonable, but it is also necessary to conform to the situation, follow the principles and lines closely, and avoid making the mistake of not taking a firm stand! Tomorrow, those two people will be held in the whole region for approval, and then they will be shot; Second, immediately interrogate Li Changji, dig deep into those hidden personnel and problems, and never show mercy to those Kuomintang reactionaries, and kill them without mercy!

Arraignment of Li Changji! Time waits for no man!

Li Changji was detained in a room in the compound of the headquarters, and his wounds had already been bandaged by a hygienist, and four or five militiamen were strictly guarding the door!

Lao Balu and his party sat down at the headquarters and ordered the militia to press Li Changji up! Li Changji entered the house and sat on the square bench prepared in the middle of the room, he glanced at the people sitting behind the table in front of him, and sneered, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water!

Li Changji, you have a better attitude, and you have a good review of your crimes, you have done many evils and bad deeds, and the heavens will not tolerate you, and you must accept the judgment of the people! The old eight roads spoke.

You're the eighth master, I know you! Li Changji said.

There is no eighth master here, only the people's government, and I represent the people and the great Communist Party!

Li Changji said, the winner, the prince, the loser, the thief, I, Li Changji, have nothing to regret in my life, if you want to kill or chop whatever you want, I have nothing to say!

People have a conscience, and the bad things you have done in your life are too many to count! Not to mention the things you have done that have harmed the people, let's just say that this time you have severely cracked down on these reactionary and powerful anti-rebellion movements, there are more than 40,000 revolutionary cadres and people killed by you in the whole country, and the Kuomintang spies and counter-revolutionaries have colluded with you bandits to blow up our industrial mines, railways, bridges, burn down our warehouses, and loot our materials. Heaven is intolerable! On the way back, you also saw thousands of ordinary people, you look at those angry accusations, you are hard-hearted, don't you have a little guilt in your heart? We were all raised by our parents!

Lao Balu's words reminded him of the scene on the road just now, the shocking denunciation of the crowd, that momentum he would never have thought in his life, what kind of hatred was aroused in the minds of the people by those heinous crimes committed by those reactionary forces!

It's really nice to say, Li Changji sneered and said, I heard that your eighth master is full of treasures, but with just this one mouth, you can kill people, and you will understand it today! But don't pick yourself so clean, I'm a bandit? Then what are your eighth masters? The name "Eighth Master" can only be born and raised in the bandits' dens on the rivers and lakes. Isn't this campaign about your exterminating bandit leaders? I, Li Changji, should be damned, you can't get out of it like the eighth master!

Lao Balu "snapped" on the table, my name of "Eighth Master" was killed by killing you heinous wicked people, and it was a good name given by the people to a hero who punishes evil and promotes good, which can tolerate you to defile!

At this time, I could only hear the three sounds of "pop, pop, pop", and the party representative stood up angrily and said, Li Changji, you are dying, and you are still so rampant! Someone, escort me to the execution room, torture him, beat him to death, I want to see if his bones are hard or his mouth is hard!

Lao Balu looked at the angry party representative and hurriedly whispered, If you continue to be punished like this, you will not die or be disabled, and we won't ask anything, so won't all the clues be broken? This matter needs to be cautious!

Sin comes from human deeds, and the discovery of conscience can alleviate the pain of your soul! Our party has led our people to overcome all difficulties and dangers, overthrow the three mountains that have been pressing on the people's heads for a long time, drive away the Japanese aggression, and defeat the Chiang dynasty. In the more than two years since the suppression of the rebellion began, we have annihilated the reactionary forces of millions of your people and pacified all the reactionary forces. You are already a prisoner, you must recognize your crimes, atone for your sins, that is, atone for the sins of your wife and children, you don't want them to bear your guilty infamy after you die, such a result, you can't change it for generations! Your attitude directly determines our attitude towards them!

As soon as he spoke, Li Changji was thoughtful and didn't refute anything!

Where's your correspondent? Explain the problem truthfully!

I really don't know what to do! When we opened the hole, we were still together, and I came down by myself, and they were shot back by your guys, and I really don't know how he disappeared!

Could it be that you have other holes?

I don't know about this!

When this tunnel was first dug up, who else knew about it?

I guess no one knows about it. For what? Lao Balu asked.

After digging the tunnel, the commissioner shot him, and now the brothers in the cave don't know about it. Li Changji said.

Lao Balu slapped the table and scolded, look what kind of things you are doing that people do! You kill people and kill people to save your own lives in the future?! Your lives are fate, and theirs are not?! It's so vicious! In my opinion, this matter is not so simple, could it be that there are other ulterior secrets?

Li Changji said that it was all planned by the commissioner, and he was in charge of everything, and I really didn't know anything about other things!

At this moment, I heard someone shouting outside the door, who? Immediately after that, I heard a gunshot! Suddenly, there was a commotion in the courtyard!

Lao Balu pulled out a gun and rushed out with an arrow step, and hurriedly asked, what's going on?

The militia standing guard hurriedly said that there was someone on the house, and a figure disappeared in a flash!

Lao Balu looked up at the sky, it was already very late, he looked at his watch, and before he knew it, it was already ten o'clock!

Lao Balu felt the seriousness of the problem! We made a surprise interrogation of Li Changji, the disappearance of the commissioner, and the figure in the room, what is the intrinsic connection between this? Li Changji kept saying that he didn't know what to say, I don't think it was necessary, there must be some ulterior secret on him!

I haven't eaten a full meal for a day, and it's getting dark, so let's try it again tomorrow morning. The leaders here are all busy all day, and they are really tired! Lao Balu looked at everyone, and everyone said, okay, let's try it again early tomorrow morning, go home and have a good rest!

Lao Balu informed the militia company commander that more people must be sent tonight to take turns on duty, and no one should slack off to prevent accidents!
