After Wang Yunqing was arrested, Shuzhen was so anxious that she burned the fire, and in the next four or five days, she went to several government departments to inquire about the news, but there was no news at all. 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 uncle's house for help. As an insurrectionist, General Feng had already taken off his military uniform and was idle at home, waiting for the government to assign work. At first, when he heard that his eldest brother had been arrested by the government as a traitor, he couldn't believe it was true, and he didn't believe that the people's government would do such a thing. He hurriedly found Huang Boyang and pointed at his nose and asked: "Old Huang, you ** are always talking about forming a revolutionary united front against the Kuomintang reactionaries, why did Peking attack my eldest brother, a democrat, as soon as it was liberated?" ”

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 held 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 that this would inevitably affect the development of the party's revolutionary united front work. Huang Boyang felt that it was necessary for him to report the situation to his superiors. Huang Boyang comforted General Feng and said, "General Feng, Mr. Wang's arrest must be due to a mistake in our work, and he will definitely come out if the problem is clarified." Mr. Wang is not a traitor, he is a friend of **, and I know him best. With me, you can rest assured! ”

General Feng 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, and now I am no longer a soldier." He pointed to the clothes he was wearing and said to Huang Boyang: "Look at me, I took off my military uniform for decades and changed into a Zhongshan suit, I am really not used to it, now I am also a ** person like you, and you will call me Comrade Feng Xuanxia in the future." There was a hint of emotion in the words.

Huang Boyang said: "It's hard to change your mouth for a while, so I'll call you Lao Feng in the future." 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 go wherever he goes, and contribute the rest of my life to the construction of New China." Lao Huang, let's get back to the point, my eldest brother is a person who has contributed to the revolution, you must save him. Don't catch him alone, he'll hurt a lot. ”

Huang Boyang said: "I will go to the relevant departments tomorrow to learn 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, we will correct our mistakes when we know them, and we will correct them if we make mistakes." ”

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, who was a cadre sent from the liberated area to work in Beiping after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and the two had several years of work contacts.

Luo Zhendong was very clear about Wang Yunqing's arrest, and it was his arrest warrant for Wang Yunqing. He said to Huang Boyang: "The arrest of Wang Yunqing is not untargeted, and there have been several letters of accusation from the people recently, in which they say that Wang Yunqing is an old warlord and a big traitor who has slipped through the net, and the facts listed are: During the period of the Beiyang warlords, he participated in the warlord melee, 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 who 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 bribed the Kuomintang receiver with money before he was released from prison. Therefore, we cannot let go of this old warlord and big traitor who has slipped through the net, and we must arrest Wang Yunqing and implement the dictatorship of the proletariat. 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? I don't think it's the right way to arrest people who don't know the facts! Tell you: I use my personality to guarantee that Wang Yunqing is not a traitor! Please let him go right away! ”

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 a personal relationship. Don't let personal friendship blind you, I remind you to be mindful of your class position! ”

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 for 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 is a report that the head of the Japanese spy Tu Feiyuan visited Wang Yunqing and asked him to go out of the mountain 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. With these few pieces of conclusive evidence, I can arrest and sentence him for counter-revolutionary and traitorous crimes! ”

Huang Boyang was very amused by Luo Zhendong's statement, and he asked: "Old Luo, you have also been an old underground for many years, and these things you said are also evidence?" 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 the hypocrisy all valued Wang Yunqing's background and influence, and wanted to ask him to come forward and lead a group of traitors to serve the Japanese, but Dohihara, Yamamoto, and others invited him out of the mountains many times as old Japanese classmates, but they all hit the nail, and the Japanese published the news in the newspapers in order to create public opinion that he was in the same stream as the Japanese, and put pressure on him. At that time, Wang Yunqing did not hold a single official position in the Japanese puppet regime. Yes, the painting of Zheng Banqiao was given to him by the Japanese, and that was to lure him to come forward to do things for the Japanese, and Wang Yunqing bought it with money, and he did this to keep the national treasure from falling into the hands of the Japanese again. ”

"Which of his family backgrounds, his social relations, apart from his youngest son, is not the exploiting class? Especially his son-in-law Ma Liangchen is a traitor and military spy who has committed a heinous crime! His hands were stained with the blood of revolutionaries, and he had not yet been caught, and I suspect that Wang Yunqing hid him. We're interrogating him right now! Luo Zhendong found another reason.

"You are engaged in the nine clans, this is not the style of ** people! What is the inevitable connection between his son-in-law and him being a traitor? Besides, the two of them have long since broken off their relationship! Huang Boyang took the case. Huang Boyang angrily pointed at Luo Zhendong and said: "I know that you are from a landlord family, let me ask you, if your father is a landlord, you must be a son of the reactionary class?" ”

Luo Zhendong was angry by Huang Boyang's words, he also slapped the table and stood up, patted the table with his hand and said loudly: "Comrade Huang Boyang, please show respect and don't insult my personality!" ”

Huang Boyang laughed proudly when he saw his angry appearance, and he asked Luo Zhendong: "If I say this, is it considered the Zhulian Nine Clans?" ”

Luo Zhendong walked up to Huang Boyang angrily, put his face close to Huang Boyang's face, stared at his eyes tightly, and said word by word: "Do you think I don't know?" Wang Yunqing saved your daughter's life, and one of his sons is in love with your daughter! Comrade Lao Huang, as an old comrade-in-arms, I would like to advise you: If a person's selfishness is higher than the cause of the proletariat and he takes the wrong position in the cruel class struggle, the consequences will be very dangerous! ”

Huang Boyang said without giving in: "Wang Yunqing reported to the party that he saved not only my daughter, but also the precious lives of five ** members, I have no favoritism, you make me very sad when you say this!" Tell you, I, Huang Boyang, am not afraid of shadows, and the relationship between me and Wang Yunqing can be investigated organizationally. Regarding Wang Yunqing's matter, I must report it to the higher-level organization, and we must not do stupid things that are loved by relatives and enemies! ”

Luo Zhendong also said weakly: "If Wang Yunqing really helped, it would also be speculation, which could not erase his historical problems in the slightest." I'm not afraid of you reporting to your superiors! ”

"What I can't understand is that you don't know anything about Wang Yunqing, but in the matter of Wang Yunqing, why are you so arbitrary?"

"Let me tell you, because this is an extraordinary period of the Chinese revolution, and the newly established people's power is still facing a counterattack from the Kuomintang reactionaries and all their reactionary forces, I would rather believe the people's revelations and accusations than not at all. 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!" Then he hurried away, because there was still a lot of work waiting for him.

"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.
