Volume II: Chapter 41 Distinguishing Right from Wrong Correcting Mistakes is not willing to be bitter and hateful
After Wang Yunqing was arrested, his eldest daughter Shuzhen was so anxious that she went to several government departments to inquire about the news in the following four or five days, but she did not hear any definite news. The family wanted to visit Wang Yunqing, but they didn't know where he was being held. In desperation, Shuzhen had no choice but to go to her brother-in-law's house for help.
Feng Xuanxia had already taken off his military uniform at this time, and was idle at home waiting for the government to assign work. When he heard that his eldest brother was arrested by the government as a traitor, he absolutely couldn't believe that it was true, but he had to believe Shuzhen's words1
Feng Xuanxia rushed to Huang Boyang's work unit after Shuzhen left, and when he saw Huang Boyang, he asked angrily: "Old Huang, your Communist Party always talks about forming a revolutionary united front against the Kuomintang reactionaries and uniting all forces that can be united for the construction of New China. Wang Yunqing sincerely supports the party and raises his hands in favor of the government's policies. ”
Huang Boyang was also surprised when he got the news that Wang Yunqing was arrested, he shook his head again and again and said that this was impossible, he picked up the phone and connected to Huang Tingting, and asked her to investigate this matter in the military management system as soon as possible. After a while, Huang Tingting called back and said that the incident was true, and that Wang Yunqing was now being held in a prison on the outskirts of Beiping.
Huang Boyang's brows furrowed when he received the exact news of Wang Yunqing's arrest, and he believed that the arrest of Wang Yunqing was not trivial, and that the arrest of democrats had appeared before the whole of China was completely liberated, and this would inevitably affect the development of the revolutionary united front. Huang Boyang felt that it was necessary for him to report the situation to his superiors. Huang Boyang comforted Feng Xuanxia and said, "General Feng, don't worry, Mr. Wang's arrest must be due to a mistake in our work, and he will definitely come out when the problem is clarified." I can vouch for Mr. Wang with my own personality, he is not a traitor, he is a friend of the Communist Party, and I know him best. With me, you can rest assured! ”
Feng Xuanxia said: "Lao Huang, don't call me a general anymore, I have already handed in the pistol that has been pinned to my waist for decades." Now he is no longer a soldier. He pointed to the clothes he was wearing and said to Huang Boyang: "Look at me, I have taken off my decades-old military uniform and changed into a Zhongshan suit, and I am really not used to it." Since the uprising, I have been a member of the Communist Party just like you, so you can call me Comrade Feng Xuanxia in the future. ”
Huang Boyang said to Feng Xuanxia: "It's hard to change your mouth for a while, so I'll call you Lao Feng in the future." Then he asked with concern: "Lao Feng, how will you arrange your work in the future?" ”
Feng Xuanxia said: "I have followed Mr. Fu for many years, and I will follow him in the future, I will follow him wherever he goes, and we will contribute the rest of our lives to the construction of New China together." Old Huang. Let's get back to the point, my eldest brother is a person who has contributed to the revolution, and you must save him. Don't catch one of him, he will hurt a lot! ”
Huang Boyang said: "Don't worry! I will go to the relevant departments tomorrow to find out about Mr. Wang's situation, the party's policy is not to let go of a bad person, and we will never wronged a good person. ”
Early the next morning, Huang Boyang came to the Military Management Commission to report on Wang Yunqing's situation. A person in charge of the relevant department named Luo Zhendong received him. Huang Boyang knew Luo Zhendong, a cadre sent from the liberated area to Beiping to engage in underground work after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The two have worked together for several years.
Luo Zhendong was very clear about Wang Yunqing's arrest, and it was his arrest warrant for Wang Yunqing. He told Huang Boyang: "The arrest of Wang Yunqing is not untargeted, and recently there have been several letters of accusation from the people, in which they say that Wang Yunqing is an old warlord and a big traitor who has slipped through the net. The facts listed are: During the period of the Beiyang warlords, they participated in the warlord melee war, oppressed the people, and brought disaster to the country and the people. During the Japanese invasion of China, he colluded closely with the Japanese generals and made suggestions for the Japanese invasion of China; His son-in-law, Ma Liangchen, was a notorious traitor. He did many bad things at the instigation of Wang Yunqing; In particular, Wang Yunqing actually colluded with the Japanese devils to hide the national treasure-level cultural relics snatched from China for the Japanese invaders. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang arrested Wang Yunqing, a big traitor, and later he used money to bribe the Kuomintang receivers. before he was released from prison. Our revolutionary regime must not let go of Wang Yunqing, the old warlord and traitor who has slipped through the net, and must exercise the dictatorship of the proletariat over him. He shook his fist vigorously.
Huang Boyang looked at Luo Zhendong's serious appearance and laughed, Luo Zhendong asked a little unhappily: "Old Huang, what are you laughing at?" ”
Huang Boyang said: "I laugh at you for being a foolish official. You are just a cloud of people about Wang Yunqing's case, and you don't know one or the other. Let me ask you: First, do you know who wrote this whistleblower letter? Second, do we have to believe all the letters of accusation? Third, have you investigated and verified the things listed in the report letter? How can you arrest someone without doing research? Tell you: I use my personality to guarantee that Wang Yunqing is not a traitor! You've caught the wrong person! ”
Huang Boyang's words made Luo Zhendong's face very ugly, and he said with some excitement: "Comrade Huang Boyang, why do you talk like this?" Do I believe in the masses of the people or in your personality? I know that you and Wang Yunqing have had a personal relationship for many years, and I remind you that you should pay attention to your class position! Don't let personal camaraderie blind you"
Huang Boyang said uncompromisingly: "What's wrong with my class position? For decades, I have been born and died for the cause of the party, and my black hair has turned into white hair, and no one can doubt that I am a loyal fighter of the party! I am looking for you today to avenge Wang Yunqing's grievances, not for the sake of our personal relations, but for the sake of the party's honor and the development of the revolutionary united front work. ”
Luo Zhendong saw that Huang Boyang lost his temper, so he changed to a calm tone and said: "Lao Huang, we have been comrades-in-arms for many years, don't get angry, say it slowly if you have something to say." Come, take a sip of tea to suppress the anger. He handed Huang Boyang a cup of tea, but Huang Boyang ignored him with an angry face.
Luo Zhendong saw that Huang Boyang was still angry, so he put on a showdown and said in an unquestionable tone: "Comrade Huang, who said that I didn't investigate and study Wang Yunqing's case?" This Wang Yunqing studied at the Japanese Army School in his early years, and was a classmate of many Japanese generals who invaded China, and he also held a senior position in the reactionary government during the Beiyang warlord period; In addition, we found several pieces of evidence of Wang Yunqing's collaboration with the enemy from the newspapers of the enemy's puppet period. Among them, there are reports that the head of the Japanese spy visited Wang Yunqing and asked him to go out of the mountains to serve the Japanese; There are photos and messages of Japanese war criminal Yamamoto and his wife hosting a banquet for Wang Yunqing. Moreover, Wang Yunqing confessed in prison that the painting of Zheng Banqiao was indeed given to him by the Japanese. Lao Huang, think about it, the fact that the Japanese were able to give such a valuable painting to Wang Yunqing shows how close the relationship between them is! With these few pieces of conclusive evidence, I can arrest him and sentence him for traitor! ”
Huang Boyang was very amused by Luo Zhendong's statement, and he asked: "Old Luo, these things you said are also evidence?" You said that Wang Yunqing is a big traitor. Can you come up with his traitorous crimes? I was in Beiping during the Japanese occupation, and I had a relationship with Wang Yunqing at that time. At that time, the enemy and hypocrisy attached great importance to Wang Yunqing's background and influence, and wanted to ask him to come forward and lead a group of traitors to serve the Japanese invaders, but the Japanese devils invited him to go out of the mountains many times, but he hit the nail, and the news published by the Japanese in the newspapers was all false, in order to create public opinion and put pressure on Wang Yunqing. Yes, the painting of Zheng Banqiao was given to him by the Japanese devil Yamamoto, which was to lure him to do things for the Japanese, but Wang Yunqing not only refused to serve the Japanese invaders, but also spent money to buy the painting, he did this in order to prevent the national treasure from falling into the hands of the Japanese again. I think that's a righteous act! ”
Luo Zhendong didn't care about Huang Boyang's explanation, he thought that Wang Yunqing must be a big traitor who slipped through the net, and he asked rhetorically: "Wang Yunqing was a senior senator of the Beiping Municipal Government during the Japanese puppet period, is this considered evidence that he was a traitor?" ”
"Not counting!" Huang Boyang said categorically: "It was a helpless move for him to serve as a senior senator of the puppet government at that time, in order to save his sister." And he, the senior senator, resigned after just over an hour! ”
Luo Zhendong found another reason, "Which one of his family backgrounds and social relations is not the exploiting class except for his youngest son?" Especially his son-in-law Ma Liangchen is a traitor and military spy who has committed a heinous crime! ”
"Zhulian Nine Clans, this is not the style we should have! Excuse me, what is the inevitable connection between Wang Yunqing's son-in-law and him being a traitor? ”
"I also ask you, he is a traitor and a spy's father-in-law. Can his son-in-law get away with his notorious and sinful nature? ”
Huang Boyang took the case, he angrily pointed at Luo Zhendong and said: "I know that you are from a landlord family, let me ask you, your father is an old landlord, you must be the filial son and grandson of the exploiting class?" ”
Luo Zhendong was angry by Huang Boyang's words. He also slapped the table and stood up, slapped the table with his hand and said loudly: "Comrade Huang Boyang, please be respectful, you are not only insulting my personality by saying this. And you insulted all the revolutionary comrades from bad births! ”
Huang Boyang smiled proudly when he saw his angry appearance, and he asked Luo Zhendong: "I just said this to treat others in the way of others, excuse me." Am I talking like this, is it considered the Nine Clans? ”
Luo Zhendong was a little reasonable, he walked up to Huang Boyang and put his face close to Huang Boyang's face, and said threateningly: "Do you think I don't know? Wang Yunqing saved your daughter's life, and his youngest son has an extraordinary relationship with your daughter! You and Wang Yunqing have a deep personal relationship. Comrade Lao Huang, as old comrades-in-arms who have worked together for many years, I would like to advise you: If a communist's selfishness is higher than the cause of the proletariat, he will take the wrong position in the brutal class struggle! ”
Huang Boyang said without backing down: "Wang Yunqing reported to the party that he saved not only my daughter, but also the precious lives of several Communist Party members. Let me tell you, I have no favoritism in the matter of Wang Yunqing, I, Huang Boyang, am not afraid of shadows, and the relationship between me and Wang Yunqing can be investigated organizationally. Regarding Wang Yunqing's arrest, I must report it to the higher-level organization, and we must not do stupid things that make our relatives bitter and enemies happy! ”
Luo Zhendong also said weakly: "If Wang Yunqing really helped the Communist Party, it is also speculation, and this will not erase his historical problems in the slightest." I'm not afraid of you reporting to your superiors! ”
Huang Boyang almost couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Lao Luo, what I really can't understand is that you don't know anything about Wang Yunqing, but in this matter of Wang Yunqing, why are you so arbitrary?" ”
"Let me tell you, because this is an extraordinary period of the Chinese revolution, I would rather believe what the masses of the people have exposed and reported than what they have not believed. We must thoroughly eliminate all reactionary forces and never allow any enemy of the people to slip through the net! ”
Huang Boyang and Luo Zhendong argued for a long time without result, and the two had a very unpleasant quarrel. In the end, he threw a sentence at Luo Zhendong: "You wait, I must turn over this wrong case!" With that, he hurried away, for there was still a lot of work to be done.
"Tell you Huang Boyang, you can't turn over this case if I have me!" Behind Huang Boyang, Luo Zhendong's almost roaring voice came. (To be continued......)
