The back garden of Wang Yunqing's house is full of moon flowers, and the blooming moon flowers exude bursts of refreshing fragrance. Early in the morning, Wang Yunqing, who drank morning tea, leisurely carried a sprinkler pot to water the moon flowers he planted. Suddenly, he heard a "knock" knock on the door in the front yard, followed by a commotion, and he hurriedly put down the kettle and walked to the front yard.

A group of armed PLA soldiers knocked on the gate of Wang's house, and led by an officer, they rushed into the courtyard with bright bayonets. Facing this scene, everyone in the Wang family was stunned! Wang Yunqing, who came to the front yard, was quite surprised, he stepped forward and asked the soldier who took the lead very politely: "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, who are you looking for?" ”

The soldier said, "Is this Wang Yunqing's home?" We're looking for Wang Yunqing. ”

Wang Yunqing hurriedly said: "This is Wang Yunqing's home, I am Wang Yunqing, do the comrades have anything to do with me?" ”

"You are Wang Yunqing?" The officer carefully looked Wang Yunqing in front of him up and down. When he thought that Wang Yunqing was in front of him, he cleared his throat vigorously, straightened his chest and raised his face, and said in a dignified tone: "Wang Yunqing, listen well, according to the people's reports, you are a reactionary old warlord and a big traitor who has slipped through the net, and I officially announce on behalf of the people's government: You have been arrested!" As soon as his words fell, several bayonets were aimed at Wang Yunqing, Wang Yunqing did not have a trace of fear, he asked very calmly: "Which unit are you from?" Who told you to arrest me? ”

"We are on a mission, you don't care which unit we are."

"What's your last name? What position? ”

A soldier said to Wang Yunqing: "This is our senior platoon commander. ”

"Platoon Commander Gao, let me remind you: you have caught the wrong person! I, Wang Yunqing, am not a bad person. Wang Yunqing said politely.

Platoon Commander Gao pointed at Wang Yunqing's face and said, "Can a reactionary like you be a good person?" As soon as he waved his hand, two soldiers rushed up and twisted Wang Yunqing's arm to tie it.

Wang Yunqing said angrily: "You are the People's Liberation Army, not the Kuomintang soldiers, please be respectful!" If you want to arrest me, I will go with you myself!"

The high platoon commander glared at Wang Yunqing angrily and said, "Respect you? Joke! You traitors and reactionaries must not be polite! ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was so anxious that she rushed forward and blocked her body in front of her husband, preventing them from tying them up. Two more soldiers came up and forcibly pushed Mrs. Wang aside. Madame Wang struggled and shouted, "Don't arrest my husband!" My husband is not a traitor, not a reactionary! My son is also a member of the People's Liberation Army like you, how can you arrest your own people? ”

"Phew! You give me honesty, who is your own person! The platoon commander Gao angrily reprimanded Mrs. Wang, who kept shouting.

Wang Yunqing, who was forcibly tied up, helplessly comforted his wife and said, "Madam, it's not the first time I've been arrested, don't be afraid." I believe that ** is reasonable, I will go with them, and I will be back when I get inside and explain the situation clearly. Don't tell Mr. Huang and his daughter Tingting about my arrest, so as not to cause trouble to them. I estimate that I will be back in two or three days, so don't panic my family. After he and his wife finished talking, they were about to go out the door, but they were stopped by Platoon Commander Sun.

"Let me ask you, according to the whistleblower's revelations, did the Japanese hide a stolen national treasure in your home back then?" Platoon Commander Gao asked.

Wang Yunqing looked at the other party inexplicably and asked, "What did you say?" The Japanese have stolen the national treasure of my house? Where did such a thing come from? ”

"Be honest with me, don't be confused! Let me ask you, do you have a painting of Zheng Banqiao? ”

Although Platoon Commander Gao couldn't tell what the painting was, Wang Yunqing knew which painting Platoon Commander Sun was asking about as soon as he heard it, and he explained to Platoon Commander Gao: "I have the painting you said, but the painting on it is not a bridge, Zheng Banqiao is a famous painter, he is a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty, I have a painting of his, but it is my private collection." ”

"Is that painting a national treasure that the Japanese hid in your house?"

"It's a famous painting, and I can't say if it's a national treasure, but I bought it from the Japanese. If I hadn't bought it back, the painting would have really been stolen by the Japanese. ”

The platoon commander Gao said impatiently: "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, let me tell you, that thing is a national treasure plundered by the Japanese devils in China, it should belong to the country and the people, you should hand it over right now!" ”

Wang Yunqing stood still, he asked puzzledly: "That's my private property, why should I hand it over?" ”

"You traitor, you have a hard mouth. Let me ask you: Do you want to fight the people's government to the end? The high platoon commander pointed a gun at Wang Yunqing's nose and said angrily.

Wang Yunqing looked at the muzzle of the black hole and felt that these soldiers in front of him were just acting on orders, and they couldn't explain the reason, so he said to those soldiers: "I personally support **, I believe in the people's government, you can arrest me, you can also take away the painting, there may be some misunderstanding in this." But I believe that ** and the government, they will return me justice, how do you take my things, and how do you send them back to me in the end! With that, he turned to go to the study to get the painting.

The platoon commander Gao was afraid that Wang Yunqing would play tricks, so he stopped Wang Yunqing and said, "You stay honest with me, don't move!" He asked Mrs. Wang to bring Zheng Banqiao's painting, but Mrs. Wang was reluctant to take it, so the platoon commander Gao forced Mrs. Wang to get it with a gun. In desperation, Mrs. Wang walked to the back garden, and the tall platoon commander followed behind with a few soldiers.

When they entered the back garden, one of the warriors was amazed and said, "Ho! A garden is so big, much more magnificent than the landlord's house in our village! These bourgeois parasites simply live in paradise! ”

Platoon Commander Gao pointed to the garden and said proudly: "What is there to envy, in the near future, our country will achieve communism, and we working people will be able to live in such a big garden." ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Wang opened the door of the study, and everyone broke in.

Under the urging of the soldiers, Mrs. Wang found the painting and reluctantly handed it over to the platoon commander Gao. The platoon leader opened the scroll and glanced at it, then pouted and muttered: "Isn't it just a stone and two bamboos, and the black is all ink, and this thing is also a national treasure?" I can't see it! When he finished speaking, he rolled up the picture with a big grin.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was afraid that the platoon commander Gao would damage the painting, so she said worriedly: "Sir, you don't understand, in fact, this painting is very precious, it is priceless, you be careful not to break it!" ”

After hearing this, the platoon commander Gao felt that he was insulted, and he angrily reprimanded Mrs. Wang and said, "Shut up! You traitorous woman dare to look down on people! Do you think that we revolutionary soldiers don't understand anything? In a fit of rage, he involuntarily slapped the scroll in his hand on the bookcase, and Mrs. Wang's heart trembled, she was afraid that the painting would be destroyed in the hands of the platoon leader. Later, the platoon commander Gao also felt that he was a little out of shape, he handed the scroll in his hand to a soldier to hold, and he instructed: "This is a national treasure, you must take it carefully, and you must not destroy it in the slightest!" ”

Gao Platoon Commander curiously looked around in Wang Yunqing's study, he pointed to the jars and jars in the study and asked Mrs. Wang: "Such a big room is dedicated to these old things that are about to mold?" Mrs. Wang replied that these things were antiques, works of art that were placed in the house to admire.

"I really can't read it! Every day when you are full and don't do serious things, you watch a bunch of broken bottles and jars all day long, this is the life of you parasites? ”

Before the platoon leader Gao walked out of the study, he drew a circle in the house with his hand and said to Mrs. Wang: "Listen, no one in your family is allowed to touch these things in the house, these are enemy property, and they are looted from the people, and after Wang Yunqing's case is decided, all of them will be returned to the people." Then he told the soldiers to seal the study.

Back in the front yard, the platoon commander asked the soldiers to open the scroll in front of Wang Yunqing and asked, "Take a good look, is this the painting of the bridge?" Wang Yunqing nodded and said yes after seeing it. The platoon commander then gave an order to the soldiers: "Take away!" The soldiers escorted Wang Yunqing, who was tied up behind his back, and walked out the door.

Before Wang Yunqing was taken away, he said to his wife: "Someone framed me, I guessed who made the trick, and when Hongxing comes back, you will let him go to Lao Zhao's house and ask." ”

Wang Yunqing, who had his hands tied, saw these familiar faces after being put out of the gate, he nodded with a forced smile, and then was put on a military truck by the soldiers. After the car drove away, some people were puzzled and discussed: Who is this Mr. Wang? Why did the Kuomintang come to arrest him, and ** still arrest him? Onlookers talked about the topic, but no one could give an answer.
