After arriving at school in the morning, Wang Hongju did not find Huang Tingting. After class at noon, Wang Hongju couldn't wait to walk to the student cafeteria, he wanted to see Huang Tingting at lunch. He heard that there was a reading club on campus that was blocked, did the reading club have an accident? He didn't care about eating, so he hurriedly ran in the direction of the reading club. In a remote corner of the campus of Yan University, a very inconspicuous house in the idle staff dormitory, Wang Hongju ran to see that the door of the reading club was locked, two seals were crossed on the door, and some books and newspapers were torn and scattered on the ground. In the crowd of onlookers, several students from the reading club pointed not far away and protested loudly.

Wang Hongju squeezed into the crowd and anxiously asked the students in the reading club: "What's going on?" ”

A classmate said angrily: "Our reading club let those dog spies smash them, they are very fierce, pointing guns at us as if they are going to shoot at any time." Lo and behold, they haven't gone far. Wang Hongju looked in the direction pointed by his classmates, and several men in black silk shirts got into a car and drove away, and the back of one of them looked very much like Ma Liangchen.

Wang Hongju was puzzled and asked why the spy wanted to close the reading club? One of the students pointed to the wall and said, "Just look at the notice." ”

Wang Hongju approached and looked, and a large white piece of paper wrote:

The Yenching Students' Reading Club spread the heresy of the Communist Party, reddened the students, misled the public, and incited the people against the Nationalist Government. It is hereby outlawed. I hope that all students will recognize the face of the Communist Party of China, respect themselves and love themselves, study hard, work with the Nationalist Government with one heart and one mind, and build a beautiful China with democracy and prosperity with the Three People's Principles

"Shit! What about the Three People's Principles, even the freedom to read is gone! Wang Hongju tore off the notice without reading it and stomped on it fiercely.

Wang Hongju looked around, "Who knows where Huang Tingting is?" Does she know about it? ”

"I didn't see her at school today." A girl in the same department as Huang Tingting told Wang Hongju.

"Is it true that no one saw her?" Wang Hongju asked again full of doubts, but no one responded.

Odd! They were still together yesterday and said that they would meet today, where would she go if she didn't come to school? His instinct told himself that something must have happened to Huang Tingting, and his emotions were a little out of control when he thought of this. He slammed his fist into the sealed door, and his hand was grazed and bleeding due to the force. Several classmates advised him to calm down. After thinking for a while, Wang Hongju said to the classmates around him: "Huang Tingting may have an accident!" She may have been captured by the agents. ”

"How did you know she was captured by the agents?"

Looking at the classmates around him, Wang Hongju pointed to his head and said, "Think about it, in the past six months, there have been no less than a dozen people who have been arrested and disappeared in our school. Huang Tingting is the initiator of our reading club, and since the spy has blocked the reading club, the spy will definitely not let go of the organizer of the reading club. ”

"Something is wrong! Our reading club is not public, how do the spies know? Someone asked.

Wang Hongju said: "Don't be too naïve, this spy is pervasive, what can be difficult to hide from them? ”

"I just don't understand. It is illegal to form associations and study on campus, and even the organizers have been arrested, so is there any academic freedom? ”

"Be careful what you say, you'll get in trouble if the spies hear it!"

The onlookers talked a lot, except for some who were timid and afraid, most of them expressed their dissatisfaction. At this time, Wang Hongju calmed down, and he said to the classmates next to him: "The spies casually entered the campus to do mischief, closed the study club, and arrested the students. We will not say yes! The colonel also has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter, go! Let's negotiate with the school! Let the spies go! ”

"Wang Hongju is right, go! Let's go to the school to protest! Mr. Wang's proposal was echoed by the majority, and people gathered and shouted protest slogans and poured toward the principal's office.

There is a blue brick courtyard house in the alley near Wangfujing. This is the home of Ma Liangchen and Shuzhen. Shuzhen did not give birth to a boy and a half girl to Ma Liangchen after marriage, the ancients said: There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest! Ma Liangchen is always obsessed with the things that have no future, and Shuzhen has become the object of his frequent anger. This Shuzhen is a very traditional woman. Her understanding of marriage is to marry a chicken and a dog to a dog, no matter what kind of person her husband is, she must be with her to the end. Although Shuzhen just wants to follow her husband wholeheartedly, in the eyes of Ma Liangchen, Shuzhen, who is middle-aged, is already a broken flower. is a hen that can't lay eggs, Ma Liangchen is becoming more and more indifferent to Shuzhen, ignoring it, he often looks for flowers outside and asks the willow for the night when he doesn't return, and Shuzhen has become a resentful woman in the boudoir. After Ma Liangchen married a young and beautiful little wife outside, Shuzhen was finally so angry that she returned to her parents' house, and Ma Liangchen took her little wife back to live here.

Although Ma Liangchen treats his little wife as a heart and liver baby all day long, who knows that the watery Yanghua woman was hooked up by the head of the Beiping Station of the Secret Bureau, who is more powerful than himself, at a dinner, and since then, the two people have often corresponded openly and secretly. Ma Liangchen couldn't afford to mess with his boss, and he didn't want to be cuckolded, so he had to sell a good job to his boss and give this woman away.

Although Ma Liangchen was frustrated in the love arena, he was proud of officialdom, and recently he broke the underground organization of the Communist Party in Beiping and arrested several important Communist Party members. After Ma Liangchen's boss took away his woman, he was rewarded with both a promotion and a salary increase. Just this morning, Ma Liangchen led people to seize the reading club of Yenching University and secretly arrested Huang Tingting, and in the evening he sat in the village and invited a few colleagues to drink in the restaurant to celebrate, and drank until the early hours of the morning before remembering to go home.

Ma Liangchen returned home drunk, and when he turned on the light, he saw that the room was empty, and he couldn't help but think of his beloved woman who was abducted by his boss, and also remembered his wife Shuzhen who was angry with him. The two women around him were gone, and he felt lonely and lonely, so the bittersweet and bitter tastes surged to his head with the strength of the wine, and he was dizzy and fell asleep on the sofa. In a trance, Ma Liangchen felt that there was a figure shaking in front of him, and he couldn't see who it was vaguely. When the man reached out to him, he suddenly woke up and cried out in horror: "Who? Who are you? ”

"Don't be afraid! It's me. As he spoke, a big hand grabbed Ma Liangchen's neck tightly and lifted him up from the sofa.

At this time, Ma Liangchen's wine woke up halfway, and he blinked vigorously to see the person in front of him, who turned out to be his brother-in-law Wang Hongju. Only then did he let go of a hanging heart.

"How did you kid get in? Scared the hell out of me! Hurry up and let go of your hands! Ma Liangchen said very unhappily.

"I came in over the wall, are you afraid? Is it that you have done too many bad things, and you are afraid that the Communist Party will come to you to settle accounts! Wang Hongju looked at Ma Liangchen and said without yin or yang. And deliberately glanced out the window with his eyes.

When Ma Liangchen heard Wang Hongju say this, he thought that there were still people outside the house, and he was frightened again. His legs trembled, and he asked Wang Hongju tremblingly: "You were sent by the Communist Party to assassinate me?" ”

"If the Communist Party wants to kill you, they won't send me. Don't be afraid! I was just kidding you. If I have something to ask you today, you have to tell me the truth. Wang Hongju let go of his hand, and Ma Liangchen sat down on the sofa.

"That's how you treat your brother-in-law? Nothing big or small! Say, "Did you come to me for your sister's business?" You are a little hairy child, so don't fuck and mix with the two of us. Ma Liangchen's mouth was full of wine.

Wang Hongju was angry when he saw Ma Liangchen mention his sister, and his fist shook in front of Ma Liangchen's eyes: "Tell you Ma Liangchen, I won't treat you as a brother-in-law for a long time." I'm disgusted at the mention of you! ”

Ma Liangchen thinks that he is a person who has seen the world, and he is an arrogant and arrogant old spy, Wang Hongju, a young brother-in-law who has not dried up, dares to break into his home and be so rude to him, which simply makes him mad. He staggered up from the sofa, crossed his waist with one hand and pointed at Wang Hongju and scolded: "You fucking little Wang Ba Lamb!" He dared to break into a private house and threaten the party-state soldiers. Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you? ”

Wang Hongju sneered and said: "To tell you the truth, Ma Liangchen, I made trouble in your house when you were a dog for the Japanese, and today I came to make trouble in your house, I have never been afraid of you!" You're a pile of shit in my eyes. ”

"How dare you scold me! You're tired of it! Ma Liangchen's drunken face turned from red to iron blue. He trembled with anger, and the green tendons on his forehead were exposed. He reached out to his waist with the strength of the wine and groped as he said, "Do you believe it or not? I'm fucking killing you today! Kill you! If I don't kill you and me, I don't have a surname of Ma! He groped around his waist but didn't find a pistol, so he threw himself at the writing desk beside him. Seeing this, Wang Hongju grabbed his arm and pushed him aside. Then he walked over to the desk and opened the drawer, and saw a loaded pistol inside. Wang Hongju held the gun in his hand and gestured at Liangchen and said, "With this finger of mine, your life will be over!" Don't think I don't dare shoot. After saying that, he aimed his gun at Ma Liangchen.

Ma Liangchen, who was very arrogant just now, woke up at this time, and he clasped his hands into fists and said, "Brother Hongju." I'm your brother-in-law, let's have something to say, let's talk well, pistols are not, it's not fun. If you go out of the fire, you will die! ”

"Phew! Your dog's life is worthless, and if I kill you, it will be regarded as eliminating harm for the people! Wang Hongju shook the pistol in front of Ma Liangchen's eyes before approaching, Ma Liangchen stared at the muzzle of the black hole, his lips trembled, and he was nervously speechless, he was afraid that Wang Hongju would kill himself with a shot.

"You sit down and answer my questions truthfully." Wang Hongju forced Ma Liangchen to sit on the sofa with a gun.

"Let me ask you, did you take someone to seal down our school's classmates' reading club?" Wang Hongju asked sternly.

"I led someone to do it, and it was to carry out the orders of the upper peak." Ma Liangchen arranged his collar with his hands, trying to calm himself.

"Did you arrest the students again?"

"Yes, it was arrested, and the supervisor of the peak wanted to arrest it, and I acted on orders."

"Is there a female student named Huang Tingting among the people who were arrested?"

"There is such a woman, who was secretly arrested on her way to school." Ma Liangchen said on his lips, but he secretly thought in his heart: I thought that this kid came to me to settle accounts for his sister's affairs, but it turned out that he was inquiring about the situation of the arrested female Communist Party. An imperceptible sinister smile flashed across his face.

"I'm telling you, this woman is an extremely dangerous person, stay away from her, and be careful of getting involved!" Ma Liangchen said to Wang Hongju in a threatening tone.

"I also tell you, Huang Tingting is my girlfriend, you let her go as soon as possible, if she has three long and two short, the Communist Party and I will settle accounts with you!" Wang Hongju said with a threatening tone.

Ma Liangchen sneered, he shook his head and said: "Wang Hongju, Wang Hongju, I have long felt that you have a leg with this female Communist Party, but today you don't recruit yourself!" She's a communist, and you're no better! I really regret that I didn't arrest you and Huang Tingting together? I caught the man, what can you do? Ma Liangchen raised his thumb provocatively and said: "If I didn't put you, Huang Tingting would be locked up in our prison, and you didn't have the ability to make trouble at my house." Do you dare to go to prison to save her? ”

Ma Liangchen's few words tickled the roots of Wang Hong's angry teeth, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and said in a consultative tone: "Do you see if you can release Huang Tingting through relationships?" You can put forward conditions. ”

"If a Communist Party like her goes in, she can't get out, even if I want to release people, my boss won't let her go! We will use her to find out the big fish behind her and wipe out all the communists in Beiping. I advise you to die of this heart! After Ma Liangchen finished speaking, he looked at Wang Hongju and laughed proudly a few times and said: "For the sake of you being my brother-in-law, it is not difficult for me to be for you." You put down your gun now, get out of my place quickly, I don't embarrass you. If you continue to entangle with me, I will even arrest you. Send him to prison and be with your Communist girlfriend! ”

Wang Hongju endured the anger in his stomach and asked directly: "Ma Liangchen, don't go around in circles, my father ransomed it with money last time, let's be honest, how much money do you want to release this time?" ”

Hearing that Wang Hongju wanted to ransom people with money, Qian Ma Liangchen's eyes lit up, and then he sold Guan Zi without smiling and said: "The Communist Party we arrested can't be bought with money, but you are my brother-in-law, I can sell your personal favor." It is often said that money makes the devil grind. It depends on how much money you can pay. If you can afford a lot of money, I'll find a way to help you. ”

Wang Hongju asked eagerly: "How much does it cost?" ”

Ma Liangchen raised his fingers to Wang Hong and said, "Look, my boss is going to serve with money, but they take the lion's head." I can't do it much less than they do, and besides, my brothers don't have any money and don't do it! That's a lot of money, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it out! ”

"Let's get it straight. How much do you want? ”

"I don't want money." Ma Liangchen raised his eyelids to look at Wang Hongju, who felt inexplicable, and said, "Is the current money still called money?" I ask you, how much can a sack of money buy? Do I want this thing to wipe my ass or to burn a fire? ”

"And what do you want?"

Ma Liangchen straightened up his chest at this time, put his hands behind his back, raised his head and said angrily: "Go back and sum up with your old man." Give me your house. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about the release of people! ”

"Ma Liangchen, you've been thinking about my family's property for a long time, right? Your heart is too dark! ”

"My heart is black? I'm kind! If I had treated your whole family as a traitor, would your family's mansion be able to run out of my palm? If it weren't for someone in Nanjing to speak for your father, the house would have been mine a long time ago! To tell you the truth, I really still think about that big house, it will be mine sooner or later! Ma Liangchen laughed proudly after speaking, and then he added: "Don't be afraid! You can still live in that house after it is in my name, and we are still a family! ”

At this time, Wang Hongju was so angry by Ma Liangchen's shamelessness that blood poured out on his head, and he used a gun to hold Ma Liangchen's head tightly and scolded: "You are delusional!" How many days can the Kuomintang last? When the time comes, the trees will fall and scatter, and you won't be able to live in any kind of house, and your destination will only be a dead end! I can shoot you with one shot today! He pointed his gun at Malachen's head.

"Hongju, don't worry! I'm just kidding you. A female communist party that has nothing to do with your family, where is it worth going to your big house. But if you want to get people out of prison, you have to spend money, that's the rule. As long as the money is sufficient, and the place is reached, the condemned prisoners who have been shot can become big living people. ”

"Why? It's not hell anymore! ”

"You kid is too young to even know this, so you can't spend money to find a substitute for the dead ghost." Ma Liangchen made a gesture of counting the money with his hands.

"Didn't you say that money is worthless now? What's the use of asking for money. ”

"Your painting of Zheng Banqiao is a valuable thing, and the more the banknote depreciates, the more it appreciates. If you can steal it out for me again, I will find a way to get Huang Tingting out of prison. ”

Wang Hongju had already seen that Ma Liangchen was taking the opportunity to blackmail himself, and he had no sincerity to rescue Huang Tingting at all. If he handed over the painting to Ma Liangchen, it would also be a meat bun and a dog business. Wang Hongju looked at Ma Liangchen's greedy and cunning face, and felt very disgusted in his heart, he raised his gun again to put his gun against Ma Liangchen's head and scolded viciously: "Ma Liangchen, listen well, I won't give you anything, all I give you is a bullet, you go to die!" Wang Hongju pretended to pull the trigger, but Ma Liangchen was not frightened, but grinned. He knew that Wang Hongju would not dare to kill. He used a rogue trick, and used his brain to resist Wang Hongju's muzzle and said, "I'm not afraid of death!" Shoot me if you kid kind, I'll fucking lend you ten guts! Shoot! You fight, you fight! As he spoke, he arched forward, and from time to time he used his eyes to observe Wang Hongju's expression.

Wang Hongju is a student who is not deeply involved in the world, he was at a loss for a moment about Ma Liangchen's rogue behavior, he stepped back step by step with a gun, and kept shouting: "Stop, you stop for me!" If I move again, I'll shoot! I—I really shot. But his fingers holding the trigger trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't shoot? His mind went blank. Between hesitations, he was three points shorter in momentum.

Ma Liangchen saw that Wang Hongju was a little flustered, he suddenly turned his face sideways and pointed out the window with his hand and said, "Look! Someone's coming! ”

Wang Hongju stood with his back to the window, hearing Ma Liangchen say this, he couldn't help but tighten his heart, and subconsciously turned his head to look, Ma Liangchen took advantage of Wang Hongju's relaxation and snatched the gun in his hand, and the power balance between the two changed instantly. Ma Liangchen forced Wang Hong to raise his skin with a gun and said without smiling: "Hmph! You're still young, my eagle can make your little finch peck! ”

Ma Liangchen forced Wang Hongju into a corner with a gun and said, "Stand up honestly for me!" Lao Tzu is going to send you to prison today as a Communist Party and let you use his house to ransom you! He saw Wang Hongju with a dissatisfied look and held up the gun and said, "You don't dare to shoot, Lao Tzu dare!" If you dare to resist, I'll shoot you to death!" Then throw you in a mass grave outside the city and feed it to the wild dogs. If you let Lao Tzu collect your corpse, you can't find a complete bone! He pointed a gun at Wang Hongju and said as he retreated to the desk, took out a pair of handcuffs from the drawer and walked to Wang Hongju again, Ma Liangchen told Wang Hongju to raise his hand and turn around and stand against the wall, he used the gun against Wang Hongju's waist and eyes. He asked very proudly: "Brother-in-law, are you planted in my hands today, are you convinced?" ”

Wang Hong raised his hands and asked very angrily: "Ma Liangchen, I just asked you today to inquire about someone. What right do you have to arrest me? ”

"Lao Tzu's gun is the right, what's wrong with arresting you? Go back and let your dad take that painting to me to redeem you!" Ma Liangchen said that he grabbed one of Wang Hongju's hands and was about to be handcuffed, but Wang Hongju turned around violently. The arm that was raised high just now suddenly turned into a powerful elbow blow and hit Ma Liangchen's face hard, Ma Liangchen sighed, only to feel that his eyes were spinning, and he immediately fell to the ground. When Wang Hongju saw that Ma Liangchen had fallen to the ground and the pistol did not let go, he pounced on him and pressed on him, holding his hand holding the gun and trying to snatch it away. Ma Liangchen was hollowed out by wine, and he was not Wang Hongju's opponent at all, and in a hurry, he deducted the bolt twice, "Bang!" Bang!" Green smoke came out of the muzzle of the gun, and the bullets grazed Wang Hongju's ears and shattered the glass windows behind him, and the crisp sound of gunfire reached the outside of the house, apparently he was reporting to the spies who lived nearby. Wang Hongju knew that he could no longer entangle with Ma Liangchen at this time, he pressed his knee to Ma Liangchen's soft underbelly, Ma Liangchen's ribs were suddenly broken, he screamed and then fainted, and the pistol fell to the ground. Wang Hongju pulled his legs and ran out, he just ran out of the door and felt that he couldn't let Ma Liangchen cause trouble to the family again, so he turned back into the house and picked up the pistol, gritted his teeth and shot Ma Liangchen lying on the ground twice, Ma Liangchen snorted, and his arms and legs stretched a few times before he moved. Wang Hongju kicked Ma Liangchen in relief and scolded in a low voice: "I killed you, a harmful spirit, to prevent future troubles!" ”

There was already movement in the alley outside, Wang Hongju quickly turned off the light, threw away the pistol, and ran out of the house in the dark. He ran to the courtyard, heard someone knocking on the door outside, knew that it was the spies coming, in a hurry, he climbed to the house with the help of an old jujube tree in the courtyard, Wang Hongju just climbed on the roof of the house a few people with guns and shouting through the front door.

"There's someone in the room!" Someone shouted, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several bullets grazed Wang Hongju's head and flew past. Wang Hong jumped from the roof of the house into another courtyard behind Ma Liangchen's house, he opened the courtyard door and came to another alley, ran away, and soon disappeared into the night.

"Bang! Bang! A few more gunshots pierced the silent night sky.

Wang Hongju's two shots fired in a hurry did not kill Ma Liangchen, and the spies did not catch the assassin, so they hurriedly sent Ma Liangchen, who was covered in blood, to the hospital, and he was in a state of unconsciousness when he was taken to the hospital by the spies. The agents deduced that Ma Liangchen's assassination was the work of the Communists and was retaliation for their arrest of the Communists. They asked the doctor to do everything to save Ma Liangchen, expecting to learn the truth of the matter from his mouth. (To be continued......)
