Volume I, Chapter 19
Wang Hongju didn't know what his parents would be in a hurry at this time, he saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he hurriedly slipped out of Sister Liu's house and tiptoed to his parents' room. The lights were on in the house, and Wang Yunqing and his wife had not yet slept, so he knocked on the window gently.
"Who?" The man in the room asked.
"It's me, Hongju."
After a while, the door creaked open the crack, and Wang Hongju flashed into the house.
Mrs. Wang slapped her son's chest and scolded, "Are you going to die? Such a catastrophe! You don't think your house is messy, do you? ”
"Mom, be quiet! Beware of ears outside the door. Wang Hongju shushed with his mouth and turned around and plugged in the door.
Wang Yunqing stepped forward and pressed his youngest son on the chair and asked eagerly: "When the spies arrested you, where were you hiding?" ”
Wang Hongju briefly talked about the situation of hiding in Sister Liu's house just now, and Wang Yunqing said to Wang Hongju after listening: "I didn't expect Sister Liu to have such courage, if the spies search you in her house, she will commit the crime of harboring and will be arrested with you, then it will be a sheep's mouth." ”
"Even if she doesn't get caught, she will have a bad reputation as an adulterous man. In fact, I just took her in because I saw her pitiful, and I didn't take much care of her, but she said that she wanted to repay her kindness, as the saying goes: Lu Yao knows horsepower, and things can see people's hearts for a long time. It's really hard to save Hongju today, for her! In the future, we must treat Sister Liu as our own family. Mrs. Wang said with emotion.
At this time, Wang Yunqing asked his wife to go to the door to listen to the movement outside the house, and he pulled his son into the inner bedroom.
"Tell me, did you really kill Ma Liangchen?" Old Man Wang still asked with some suspicion.
"It's true, it's a pity I didn't kill him!"
"Why is that? He really deserves to be killed for his evil deeds, but it's not your turn to kill him!"
Wang Hongju told his father about Huang Tingting being arrested by Ma Liangchen, and told him about the unexpected situation that happened when he went to find Ma Liangchen.
After listening to his son's narration, Wang Yunqing didn't speak for a while, he walked back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back. After a while, he walked up to his son, put his hand on his son's shoulder, pressed it hard, and said meaningfully, "Do you remember when you were a child?" Once you were going to shoot the traitor Ma Liangchen with a gun, I gave you your gun at that time, and today you really used a gun to destroy that kid. Attaboy! Father, I want to praise you for playing well this time! If you beat him to death, it's perfect! ”
Wang Hongju held his father's slightly dry hand tightly, and his eyes were full of respect for his father.
The father and son were talking quietly in the inner room, and Mrs. Wang, who was letting off the wind in the outhouse, walked in. The courtyard was quite quiet and there was no movement, but Mrs. Wang always muttered in her heart, she always felt that there were eyes watching the Wang family's every move in secret. She urged her youngest son to flee as soon as possible, not later.
Wang Yunqing said to his wife: "What are you panicking about? You're not letting your child go now! If you don't catch Hongju, can those spies give up? We've already let the spies stare at us outside the house! Now the inside can't get out, and the outside can't come in, to see who can't hold their breath. ”
"Then what can I do, Hongju has to find out sooner or later when he is hiding at home!" Mrs. Wang was so anxious that she said with a crying voice.
Wang Hongju said to his parents: "If I can't run, I'll fight with them!" ”
Wang Yunqing angrily reprimanded his son: "Nonsense! What to spell? Do you trade your life for the lives of those spies? ”
"Then you should hurry up and think of a way to save the child! What if the agent comes back to search later? Mrs. Wang looked out the window uneasily and said.
Wang Yunqing didn't pay attention to his wife, he squinted his eyes, paced around the house with his hand lightly brushing his beard, thought for a moment and said, "If I have an idea, I will call the child's uncle immediately, and say that there is something at home and ask him to send a few brothers to our house early tomorrow morning." ”
"Let him send troops to escort Hongju, that's not good! Soldiers and spies are not allowed to fight on both sides? How to clean up the matter when it gets bigger? I thought about it and let the child hide in the dark room of your study for a while, and wait until the limelight is over. ”
"No! Those spies are not idle eaters, they have long nights and dreams, and they will have an accident sooner or later when they hide at home! It is safest to get Hongju out of the house as soon as possible! ”
Mrs. Wang agreed: "But yes, since that's the case, let my brother-in-law send troops to pick it up immediately!" ”
"Alright, madam, don't make a mess!" Wang Yunqing waved his hand and said impatiently: "Letting my brother-in-law send troops in a hurry now will make people think that we have ghosts in our hearts, which will arouse the suspicion of the spies." ”
Mrs. Wang complained unhappily: "You old man, neither left nor right, what do you want?" ”
Wang Yunqing didn't quarrel with his wife, he had an expression of a bamboo in his chest, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Mom, don't say it! Everything is arranged by my dad. Wang Hongju looked at his mother's anxious appearance and hurriedly comforted him.
Wang Yunqing pointed out the window and said, "I'll talk to Xuanxia on the phone now, and tomorrow I'll give them a good show of changing the tanuki for the prince!" ”
Mrs. Wang's second monk was confused, and her son seemed to understand the old man's intentions.
Wang Yunqing continued: "There is a dark hole in the back of the cabinet in my study, which is used to prevent danger, and no one knows about it except me and your mother. In order to prevent the spies from killing back the pistol tonight, Hongju, you hide in first, no matter what happens at home, don't move, and you will come out when I tell you to come out. ”
After all the arrangements were stopped, the couple sat down in their clothes and stayed up all night.
Early the next morning, there were not many passers-by in the deserted alley. At this time, a military open-top jeep drove into the alley and stopped at the gate of the Wang family's mansion, and five or six heavily armed Kuomintang soldiers jumped out of the car, led by Adjutant Zhang, who were sent by Wang Yunqing's brother-in-law, Feng Xuanxia. Adjutant Zhang carried a big red gift box in his hand and gently patted the metal buckle on the gate of the Wang family. After a while, a servant opened the door, and in addition to the driver, several soldiers rushed in and the door was gently closed.
As soon as these soldiers entered the palace, a craftsman who repaired foreign iron kettles walked into the alley with his burden, he walked around, found a sunny place not far from the gate of the king's house, sat down, lit a bag of cigarettes, and smoked slowly. A moment later, another noodle pincher sat at the mouth of the alley, shouting at the door of the alley. Several swaying figures appeared on both sides of the alley.
Less than half an hour later, the gate of Wang's house opened again, and Adjutant Zhang walked out with a few soldiers, and they jumped into the car quickly, and the jeep drove towards the mouth of the alley. The man who repaired the iron kettle looked at the car that was driving away, and hurriedly stood up and waved to the people at the mouth of the alley. The jeep came to a screeching halt but didn't stall, and the engine spewed choking exhaust fumes. Adjutant Zhang jumped out of the car unhappily and scolded: "You Diao people are looking for death? Can't you see clearly that this is the car of the national army? ”
The peddler pretending to be a dough pincher was the leader of these people, and he arrogantly handed Adjutant Zhang a certificate and said, "See, we are members of the Secret Bureau!" ”
Adjutant Zhang threw the documents to the spy without looking at them, and raised his neck arrogantly: "What's so great about the Secret Bureau, you dare to stop our General Feng's car?" ”
"I don't care what General Feng and General Ma are, we are on official duty, we will search everyone who comes out of the royal courtyard, and the brothers will search me!" With a wave of his hand, the little boss surrounded the car.
Seeing this, Adjutant Zhang was furious, he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the spies and scolded: "I fucking thought that you usually dare to bully the common people, it turns out that you don't even pay attention to the national army!" I'd like to see which one of you dares to search the car of the national army? The soldiers in the car opened the bolt of their guns and pointed their guns at the agents under the car. The spies under the car also pulled out their pistols, and the two sides confronted each other.
At this time, a spy walked up to the little boss and said: "Head, I counted, when this car went in just now, there were five soldiers, and now it seems to be six when it comes out, will there be people we want to arrest in this car?" ”
The little spy leader glanced at the soldiers in the car with a thief's eye, and he approached to take a closer look at everyone. At this moment, there was a noise in the alley, it turned out to be two people out of the Wang family's compound, one of them was dressed as a servant, and the other was dressed as a student. The noise attracted the attention of the spies here, and the leader of the small spies hurried over with two spies. At this time, Adjutant Zhang sat back in the car and said to the few spies left: "We have military affairs on our side, so we will not accompany us!" He glanced at the driver, and the driver suddenly stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward, so frightened that the spy in front of the car hurriedly flashed aside, and the jeep butt drove away quickly with black smoke, and the spy behind chased a few steps and couldn't catch up, and they were so angry that they pointed to the back of the jeep and scolded.
On this departing military vehicle sat a soldier with a low brim, and he was Wang Hongju. At home, he put on a set of national army uniforms brought by Adjutant Zhang, and was able to sneak out of the house unconsciously and escape the capture of the military commander's spies. On the evening of this day, General Feng sent Adjutant Zhang to personally drive a military vehicle out of Dongzhimen and drive due east, and Wang Hongju, disguised as a soldier of the Nationalist Army, sat next to him. After the car passed a few checkpoints smoothly, Adjutant Zhang pointed to the front and said: "I can only send you here, not far ahead, you will be out of the jurisdiction of the national army, there are no checkpoints, good luck!" Wang Hongju repeatedly asked Adjutant Zhang to tell his father and uncle: Huang Tingting must be rescued from the spies. Adjutant Zhang held Wang Hongju's hand and said, "Don't worry, we will do everything we can to rescue Miss Huang!" ”
Wang Hongju took off his Kuomintang military uniform and jumped out of the car, he said goodbye to Adjutant Zhang, and walked in the direction he longed for without hesitation in the night. When the sun rose the next morning, Wang Hongju, who was exhausted, finally saw the ** troops.
After Wang Hongju escaped, Gui Fang was thrown into prison and never released, especially the bearded man who went to Wang's house every few days to pester Sister Liu in the name of searching, which made Wang Yunqing not upset! In desperation, he introduced Sister Liu to her brother-in-law's house as a cook, so as to protect her.
