As soon as the sky was white, the militiamen who were sleeping in the main hall of the nunnery got up, and they called out the rich people who were locked up in the house and named them one by one. When a militiaman opened the door of the room where Wang Yunqing and his wife were being held, they were stunned! I saw a big hole under the back wall of the house, and the people locked in it were gone! He nervously shouted, "Oh no! The landlords have fled! His shout attracted several militiamen, who were very surprised to find that Wang Yunqing and his wife had escaped through the wall, and hurriedly sent people to report to the working group and the village committee.

Wang Yunqing and his wife were able to dig a hole in the wall with their bare hands, drill the hole and escaped, after hearing the news, Lao Meng's first reaction was to shoot the case: "Impossible!" It's impossible! ”

Xiao Sanzi's reaction was: "I also think it's impossible!" The two old guys are in their sixties, can they dig a hole in the wall with their hands? ”

A militiaman who was responsible for it said anxiously: "But the two of them did get through the hole and escaped!" Can I just talk nonsense? ”

"That's a dereliction of duty! Tell me, how do you guard it? If the landlord is deliberately let go, this is a matter of class position! The little third son roared angrily.

The big hat that the little third son threw over frightened the militiaman, and he explained tremblingly: "Captain, this person was not put by us, they ran away by themselves. ”

"I don't care! Anyway, people are out of your hands! You have to be responsible, first of all I want to ask you! The little third son said unrelentingly.

Lao Meng had calmed down at this time, and he persuaded the third son to dissipate his anger, "Director Gong, the people have fled, whether you are in a hurry or angry now, it is useless." If you think about it calmly, if there is no one to help, the landlord couple will definitely not be able to escape. Who is most suspected of letting Wang Yunqing and his wife go in our village! ”

Xiao Sanziqiang held back his anger and said: "Comrade Meng, the villagers in our village are all honest, who dares to help them both escape?" ”

Lao Meng said in a deep tone: "Director Gong, although the torrent of revolution is unstoppable, some people are not willing to accept their defeat, and they will wait for the opportunity to come out of the dark corners to sabotage and make trouble!" This is the arduousness and complexity of the class struggle, and we must not relax our revolutionary vigilance at any time! ”

"Humph! Wang Yunqing, he ran away, the monk can't run the temple! Comrade Meng, I will take the militia to the city to arrest Wang Yunqing now, and if I catch him, I can interrogate who rescued him! ”

"Director Gong, don't bring anyone into the city to arrest him. If he is really the target of our party's united front, Wang Yunqing's return to the city will be like a dragon returning to the sea and a tiger returning to the mountains and forests, you can't help him! Anyway, we have already divided Wang Yunqing's land, so it doesn't matter if we catch him or not! The top priority now is to immediately convene a meeting of the village cadres, and everyone will analyze who is most likely to be the accomplice of Wang Yunqing and his wife in this village, and we must find out this person and fight fiercely! Lao Meng's hand clenched into a fist and waved it hard.

Xiao Sanzi also waved his fist: "Don't worry, I must find out the hidden bad guy!" ”

"Director Gong, regarding the new trend of the class struggle in the village, you should quickly convene the cadres of Qi Village to hold an analysis meeting. Let's mobilize the power of the masses to find out this bad element! ”

The third son agreed: "Okay! ”

At the village cadre meeting. Most people put their suspicions on Lao Zhang, but Lao Meng disagreed. Lao Meng thought that Lao Zhang had recognized Wang Yunqing's class nature and had just been released home, so Lao Zhang would not have a reason to help Wang Yunqing escape. Moreover, Lao Zhang was put home by Lao Meng. Everyone suspected that Lao Zhang was suspected of helping Wang Yunqing escape, and Lao Meng's self-esteem made him unable to accept this judgment, and he named another suspect at the meeting: Guitian.

"Comrade Meng, this Guitian is an honest person who is afraid of smashing his head when the leaves fall. How could he have the courage to rescue Wang Yunqing? The third son questioned Lao Meng's statement.

Lao Meng said disappreciatively: "You all think that Lao Zhang is the person who has the best relationship with Wang Yunqing, but I don't think so. That Guitian is a homeless and unemployed person, and he has carried Wang Yunqing's long life for more than 20 years. Food, clothing and housing are provided by Wang Yunqing, if there is no Wang Yunqing's support, he is a homeless man, and he must be grateful to Wang Yunqing in his heart. Everyone has seen that when the struggle meeting was held, Director Gong called him by name to expose Wang Yunqing's crimes, but he didn't say a word, what does his behavior mean? It shows that he is dissatisfied with our struggle against Wang Yunqing. I don't agree with you saying that Lao Zhang is Wang Yunqing's lackey, I think Guitian is Wang Yunqing's hardcore lackey, so I think Guitian is the most suspicious of saving Wang Yunqing! ”

After Lao Meng expressed his opinions, some people nodded in understanding, but Xiao Sanzi insisted that Lao Zhang was the most suspicious. Due to disagreement, the meeting finally reached a compromise resolution, that is, to list Lao Zhang and Guitian as suspects, and arrest them both for interrogation separately.

After the meeting, Lao Zhang and Guitian were immediately arrested. During the interrogation, Lao Zhang was soft and hard and shouted that he was wronged, and the militiamen did not have any evidence against Lao Zhang, and after Lao Zhang was imprisoned for a few days, Lao Meng had no choice but to order him to be released.

Guida is a weak and timid man, and he is nervous when he is captured by the militia. After being interrogated overnight, he felt so aggrieved that he couldn't think about it for a while, so Guitian actually hanged himself in the hut where he was being held with his belt. Guitian felt that his life was cheap, and he thought that he could die for a hundred. In fact, in the words of Lao Meng, Guitian's suicide was to cover up his counterrevolutionary crimes with death, and to fight the mass movement with death. Guitian died, but he left a bad reputation for being cut off from the people.

Lao Zhang didn't expect that Guitian would be affected by himself and cause Guitian to lose his life, and he didn't expect Guitian to die and have a bad reputation that people spurned, so he was full of self-blame and guilt. The guilt tortured him so much that he couldn't eat or sleep, and sometimes when he closed his eyes, it was as if he saw Guitian standing in front of him with a rope around his neck and a long tongue sticking out. After a painful ideological struggle, Lao Zhang resolutely decided to restore the innocence of the dead Guitian. On this day, despite the desperate obstruction of his family, he first went to Guitian's grave to burn incense and worship, and then went to the village committee to surrender. The day after he surrendered, he was sent to the Public Security Bureau, and a few days later he was sentenced to prison for counter-revolutionary charges.

Lao Zhang was originally a typical example of backwardness and advanced that Lao Meng wanted to establish, but he did not expect that Lao Zhang was a counterrevolutionary who secretly helped Wang Yunqing escape, and he also caused the honest Guitian to die unjustly, and as a result, Lao Meng's prestige among the village cadres and the masses was greatly reduced. In particular, Lao Meng's own initiative to arrest Wang Yunqing, a patriotic democrat who was not opposed to land reform and was protected by the united front policy, was very dissatisfied with this, and in order to eliminate the bad influence, they sent people to dismiss and replace Lao Meng, who had not done his job well.
