Volume I, Chapter 38
Wang Yunqing saw that Yamamoto was about to catch Yurong, and in a hurry, he rushed forward and blocked Yurong with his body, and Ono pushed him away. Wang Yunqing ran to Yamamoto again and asked angrily: "Yamamoto, you promised me to let Yurong go!" Why did you break your word! ”
Yamamoto looked at Wang Yunqing very contemptuously and said, "Let me ask you, is an inferior Shina man qualified to negotiate terms with the generals of the Great Japanese Empire?!" ”
"Yamamoto, you're too treacherous! You must let my sister go today! Wang Yunqing roared angrily. Ono rushed up and pushed him away, and Wang Yunqing wanted to rush in front of Yamamoto, but was held up by several Japanese soldiers with guns.
Yamamoto walked up to Yurong and said, "Mrs. Feng, I saw your brother's brotherhood for you, I did promise your brother to give you freedom, and I don't want to break my word." In this way, I will give you one last chance, it is very simple, as long as you announce your renunciation of the anti-Japanese position in front of reporters and everyone, I will immediately ask Wang Yunqing to take you home! After Yamamoto finished speaking, a group of reporters gathered around.
Yu Rong nodded after a little thought, she turned her face to reporters, who raised their cameras when they thought there was going to be a big news happening, "There was a famous female lyricist named Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty of China, and she wrote a poem like this: Life is a hero, death is also a ghost. So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. That is the position I want to make to you. China will win, Japan will lose! Under the flickering magnesium lights, Yu Rong raised her clenched fists high. The people at the scene were in chaos again.
"Escort her down!" Yamamoto roared furiously, and several Japanese soldiers grabbed Yurong's arms and dragged her out the door. At this time, Shuzhen, who was sitting next to Ma Liangchen, couldn't hold her breath, she ran to Yamamoto's side and begged: "General Yamamoto, Wang Yurong is my aunt, you let me persuade her!" ”
"Okay!" Yamamoto then called out to the Japanese soldiers.
Shuzhen ran to Yurong and knelt down for her, and she persuaded with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, I'm afraid you will be lucky if you leave like this!" You know there's a way to live. Why bother to kill yourself? You are willing to leave us, and we are not willing to leave you! I think you'd better say something soft to the Japanese. After Shuzhen finished speaking, she hugged her aunt's thigh and cried bitterly.
At this time, Ma Liangchen also came over and knelt in front of Yurong, "Auntie, as long as you say a word to give up your anti-Japanese stance, General Yamamoto will give you freedom, why can't you figure it out something very simple?" As the saying goes: Those who know the times are junjie, and I advise you to face the reality soberly. ”
"Man is inherently mortal, so it is not a pity to die, I have made up my mind, you all get up." Yurong said to Wang Yunqing, who was blocked by the devil, "Big brother." I know you're doing this for me, but what you're doing breaks my heart, so please respect yourself! Tears glistened in her eyes.
Wang Yunqing said loudly to Yurong: "Yurong, you are my good sister, eldest brother, I know it's wrong!" ”
Yamamoto shouted hoarsely, "Take her away immediately!" Yurong was taken away by several fierce Japanese soldiers.
Wang Yunqing saw Yu Rong's iron-clad performance when facing Yamamoto, and when he was ashamed and blamed, he had a strong impulse in his heart, "Please sit down, I have something to say!" Wang Yunqing walked quickly to the middle of the banquet hall and made a gesture to ask everyone to calm down. After the crowd fell silent. He said loudly: "I solemnly announce to all of you here that from now on I will resign from the post of senior senator of the Peiping City Government, and I will not cooperate with the Japanese for the rest of my life!" ”
At the beginning of the dinner, Yamamoto officially announced that Wang Yunqing was appointed as a senior staff member of the Beiping Municipal Government, and Wang Yunqing announced his resignation before the banquet was over. This dramatic change was so unexpected that the newspaper reporters swarmed around Wang Yunqing and raised his camera to take another wild shot.
Faced with the uproar at the scene, Yamamoto never imagined that the well-prepared dinner party would turn into a disgraceful farce, and he did not know how the play would end. He couldn't stay a minute. He scolded: "Eight grid tooth road! He left with his subordinates in a huff. Michiko ran to Wang Yunqing in small steps and said, "Please take care!" She hurried after her husband and left.
Yamamoto has just gone out on the front foot. Ono sent Shi Shuli to take Wang Yunqing away with a few spies. Shuzhen saw that her father was arrested and was about to rush over to protect her father, Ma Liangchen grabbed her hard, "You let go of me!" In a hurry, Shuzhen slapped Ma Liangchen in the mouth. Ma Liangchen was beaten by his wife in public. How could he endure this wretchedness, as soon as he raised his foot, he kicked Shuzhen to the ground, Shuzhen cried and got up and reached out to grab Ma Liangchen's face, and several blood marks immediately appeared on Ma Liangchen's face. "Fuck! I'll beat you stinky bitch! Ma Liangchen grabbed Shuzhen is a messy fist, and Shuzhen did not show weakness, she cried and scuffled with Ma Liangchen. There were people next to him who were trying their best to persuade them, and some people were gloating and watching the excitement, and the dinner ended in a mess.
This time, Wang Yunqing was arrested and put in prison, first with a whipping, and then thrown into a cell. It wasn't until one day that Ma Liangchen personally opened the iron door of the cell that Wang Yunqing regained his freedom. Wang Yunqing was whipped, and gnawed on the pickles in the dark cell for several days, he was extremely weak, and he walked with a faltering step, Ma Liangchen wanted to personally drive Wang Yunqing home in order to show his filial piety, Wang Yunqing refused him. One of Ma Liangchen's subordinates pushed Wang Yunqing into the car. In the car, Wang Yunqing and Ma Liangchen were speechless all the way.
Ma Liangchen drove the car to the gate of Wang's house, he stopped and opened the door for Wang Yunqing. When Wang Yunqing got out of the car and was about to walk into the house, Ma Liangchen called out to him from behind: "Dad, I have something for you, wait a minute." When Wang Yunqing looked back, he saw Ma Liangchen holding a small burden.
Wang Yunqing looked at the burden and asked, "What is this?" ”
Ma Liangchen lowered his head and whispered, "Dad, this is my aunt's relic." ”
"What do you say? Yurong, she's gone? Wang Yunqing was taken aback when he heard the news.
"Yes. Yesterday morning, my aunt committed suicide by hitting her head against the wall, Ono asked someone to throw her corpse into the mass grave, I asked my subordinates to secretly send her body to the Chengxi Sister's Nunnery for temporary storage, and tomorrow you quickly bring someone to collect the body of your aunt. This is her relic, and I give it to you. Ma Liangchen handed over a small burden to Wang Yunqing's hands and hurriedly drove away.
The news of Yu Rong's death was like a thunderclap on Wang Yunqing's head, he had a premonition that Yu Rong's life was not guaranteed, but he didn't expect Yu Rong's death to come so suddenly and so quickly. His body was extremely weak, and he couldn't bear this heavy blow, and he only felt that the world was spinning in an instant. He rang the doorbell and fell to the ground on his knees. When Wang Yun came to his senses and saw his wife and Lao Zhao standing beside him, he shouted heartbreakingly: "My sister Yurong is dead!" Then there was a cry. Hearing that Yurong was dead, Mrs. Wang was first shocked, and then tears rained down, and Lao Zhao also lowered her head sadly.
Wang Yunqing asked his wife to open Yurong's relics, only to see that in addition to two pieces of clothing and a silver bracelet, there was also a bloodstained handkerchief in the baggage. Mrs. Wang picked up the handkerchief and looked at it, and tears flowed out again. I saw two lines of blood on the handkerchief: life as a hero, death as a ghost. So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.
Wang Yunqing knew that this was Yurong's unyielding masterpiece. He took Yurong's blood book and read it over and over again without crying. Seeing things and thinking about people, now that things are going to people, I can't help but feel very sad. In addition to grief, Wang Yunqing asked Lao Zhao to order a good coffin from the most famous coffin shop in Beiping immediately, and he wanted to bury Yurong.
The next day, Wang Yunqing dragged the sick body and personally brought people back Yurong's body, and set up a mourning hall in the house where Yurong's coffin was parked for family members and relatives to pay respects. Just after Wang Yunqing had just arranged the mourning hall, there was a man with a cloak running into the palace in a crazy way, and after entering the courtyard, he went straight to the mourning hall in the main house without saying a word. The news of Yurong's death was told to him by Mrs. Wang, and he was very sad when he learned the news, but he didn't want to believe that it was the real news, so he immediately rushed to Wang's house to find out.
Sai Xi Shi entered the mourning hall, and he saw a black lacquered coffin in the middle of the mourning hall. On the front wall of the mourning hall is a photo of Yu Rong before her death. Candles are lit on the altar of the mourning hall and various offerings are placed. Sai Xishi stood in the solemn mourning hall and looked at the smiling statue of Yurong in a daze, and after a while, he asked Mrs. Wang who was standing on the side of the mourning hall stupidly: "Sister, is Yurong really dead?" ”
Mrs. Wang replied with tears: "Both, your sister Yurong is gone!" ”
"Nope! Yurong is not dead. She's alive, and you see she's still smiling at me! Sai Xi Shi pointed to the statue of Yurong and shouted loudly.
Mrs. Wang saw that Sai Xishi's eyes were dull and in a trance, so she said, "Both." Your mind is out of order, right? Yurong is really gone. If she lives, what kind of mourning hall will we put up for her! ”
"Nope! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! You lied to me! Sai Si Shi jumped to his feet and shouted.
Mrs. Wang didn't understand why her brother didn't believe that Yurong was dead, so she pulled Sai Xishi to the coffin and said, "Both, sister won't lie to you, Yurong is lying here." ”
"I don't believe it! You open the coffin for me, and I want to see it with my own eyes! Seishh shouted again.
Wang Yunqing saw that Sai Xishi's demeanor was abnormal, so he whispered to Mrs. Wang: "Yurong's death is too big a blow to the two brothers, looking at him like this, he seems to be a little nervous, I am afraid that he will disturb the mourning hall, or let someone pull him away." ”
Mrs. Wang said: "Don't mind, he is a stubborn donkey who doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, and the more you pull him, the more trouble he makes." He has been in love with Yurong all these years, and I think it makes sense to let him take one last look at Yurong. ”
Wang Yunqing felt that his wife was reasonable, so he asked someone to gently remove the coffin lid, and when Sai Xishi saw that the coffin was opened, he hurriedly knelt on the coffin and looked inside, only to see the haggard Yurong lying in the coffin with her eyes closed. He shouted softly a few times Yu Rong, Yu Rong did not react, and then Sai Xishi's grief suddenly gushed out like a flood bursting the embankment, and he raised his head and shouted: "Yu Rong, why did you leave me behind?" Then he sat down in front of the coffin and wept bitterly. Sai Xi Shi cried and chattered, but no one could hear what was nagging in his mouth.
"Brother, don't cry, be careful of hurting your body!" Mrs. Wang was afraid that her younger brother would cry and hurt her body, so she stepped forward to comfort him, but she couldn't persuade him at all. Sai Xishi cried so much that it was dark, and he cried so much that everyone's sorrow was hooked out, and there was a cry in the mourning hall. In the end, Sai Xishi cried exhausted, he lay on the ground with his body crooked, and Wang Yunqing immediately ordered someone to carry him to the guest room to rest.
After Mrs. Wang poured a cup of hot tea for Sai Xi Shi, Sai Xi Shi's mood gradually stabilized, and after a heart-rending cry, his mind returned to normal and stopped crying. Before leaving, he comforted Wang Yunqing and his wife and said: "Sister, brother-in-law, people cannot be resurrected after death, and those who are alive must live well." Please take care of your condolences! ”
Mrs. Wang took Sai Xishi's hand and said, "Both, I'm afraid you won't be able to open it, I originally wanted to give this sentence to you, and you are a sister who understands, so you can rest assured." ”
Wang Yunqing bowed to Sai Xishi and said, "Brother, it's rare that you have an infatuation with Yurong!" Although you and Yurong have no chance to become husband and wife in this life, Yurong will definitely be able to feel your true feelings for her in the spirit of the sky, and I thank you on her behalf! ”
"Brother-in-law, I want to go to the mourning hall again to say goodbye to Yurong."
Wang Yunqing sighed and said, "Go and say goodbye to her, I hope Yurong can be married to you in the next life." ”
Sai Xi Shi returned to the mourning hall, he stroked Yu Rong's coffin and said softly: "Yu Rong, I know that you don't love me, but I have always been infatuated with you; Although you are someone else's wife, you are always the soul of my heart. Now that my soul is gone, all I have left is a stinky skin! Wait for me, and I will go with you. Sai Xi Shi said goodbye with tears.
The seventh day after Yu Rong's death is the day of the funeral, Yu Rong walked in front of the funeral procession when Yu Rong came out of the funeral is some drummers, they use suona to blow the bleak mourning music, behind the drummer is the high raised spirit flag and paper people and paper horses and more than ten monks who chant the scriptures, behind these people is Yu Rong's hearse, Lao Zhao drove Wang Yunqing and his family to follow the funeral procession at the back. After the funeral procession turned most of Beiping City, it deliberately circled in front of Yamamoto's Japanese headquarters in protest, and then Wang Yunqing buried Yurong in a private cemetery he purchased at the foot of Xishan Mountain.
