In the evening of the dark day, the hearse carrying the ashes of Houzhang slowly drove into Shuangliu Village, the fathers and villagers of Shuangliu Village all wore white flowers on their chests and stood in the cold wind to welcome the hero's soul back to their hometown, in the Korean battlefield, Shuangliu Village had a total of nine descendants who died heroically, Houzhang was the first and only one who returned to the roots, and the other eight Liu children were buried in foreign lands.

Jiang Fengyi, head of the armed forces department of Huang County, jumped out of the hearse and saluted Daddy Liu and Liu Wenzheng with a standard military salute, handed the martyr's certificate to Daddy Liu, and the two soldiers carried the urn of Houzhang with both hands and handed it to Zhongzhang, Zhongzhang held Houzhang's urn and cried, and shouted hoarsely, "Brother, my good brother, you have finally gone home, you have returned to your roots!" Everyone shed tears one after another, and Renzhang and Shangzhang helped Zhongzhang into the courtyard of the Liu family and placed Houzhang's urn on the mourning hall.

Daddy Liu let Jiang Fengyi into the study, Zhang Yan put the wine and food that had been prepared on the desk, and poured wine for the two of them, Daddy Liu raised the wine glass with both hands above his head, and then put the wine on the ground, Zhang Yan hurriedly filled the wine for Daddy Liu, Jiang Fengyi picked up the wine glass and said to Daddy Liu, "Big brother, the Korean War is more tragic than any war in China, I was drinking wine in your mansion a few days ago, and I will drink this ...... if I can't think of it today" Jiang Fengyi's voice choked, he couldn't go on, and drank a glass of wine with his neck raised, Father Liu also drank the wine in the cup, and he said to Jiang Fengyi categorically, "Brother, the wine I drink now is also a happy wine, Houzhang is my nephew, in my heart it is no different from Yizhang, from the perspective of personal feelings, his sacrifice makes my heart like a knife, but from the perspective of the country, they are defending the country and fighting, the old China has been bullied by the great powers for hundreds of years, the new China has just been established, Chairman Mao has just announced to the world that the Chinese people have stood up, and the US imperialists hit the Yalu River at our doorstep on the back foot, which is clearly bullying New China, It is tolerable or unbearable, no matter how tragic the war is, this battle must be fought, and the Yankees must be beaten to the death, and the Yankees will be beaten to the death, and they will not be punched with one punch, I will not expect them to come back alive when I send the children to the front line, this first battle to defend New China must be won, if they are all killed in the battle of Yizhang and Houzhang, this is the supreme glory of my old Liu family compound, and it is the highest honor of a soldier who died on the battlefield! In the spring of next year, I decided to send Wei Ji to the front line, if the country needs it, Renzhang and Zhongzhang can enlist in the army at any time to participate in the war, and the children of the Liu family have no misrepresentation in the face of the country's righteousness. ”

Jiang Fengyi picked up the second glass of wine and said in a deep voice, "Big brother, I was able to embark on the road of resistance against Japan was guided by you, although you have not been a soldier for a day, but in my heart you are the god of war, there will be no more accidents, once there is news of him ahead, I will rush to tell him overnight. The two clinked glasses and drank them all.

Zhang Yan poured the third glass of wine for the two of them, Jiang Fengyi glanced at Zhang Yan and stopped talking, Father Liu smiled slightly, and said to Jiang Fengyi, "Xiaoyan is not an outsider, now I have handed over the huge Liu family compound to her to take care of, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Jiang Fengyi whispered to Father Liu, "Big brother, I wanted to talk to you when I came to the house to drink the wedding wine a few days ago, but you were too busy that day, and our brothers didn't have the opportunity to sit together and whisper, I will tell you a shocking secret now, when the Ministry of Armed Forces recently reviewed a group of traitors detained by the Kuomintang before the liberation, there was a prisoner named Zhang Minghui, his real name is Zhang Xiaohui, Zhang Minghui and Zhang Xiaohui are twin brothers, the two look exactly the same, Zhang Xiaohui is a hardcore traitor, and he served as a translator of the Japanese army office in Jiaodong, Zhang Minghui just used Zhang Xiaohui's relationship to do grain business with the Japanese army, although he collaborated with the enemy but not to die, as a result, Liu Kuizhang ordered the secret execution of Zhang Minghui, who looked very similar to Zhang Xiaohui, as soon as he was liberated, he mistook Zhang Minghui for Zhang Xiaohui to be executed, and the real traitor Zhang Xiaohui survived by impersonating Zhang Minghui's identity, I personally interrogated this fake Zhang Minghui some time ago, under my repeated persuasion, he not only revealed his true identity, but also confessed a shocking secret in order to atone for meritorious service, At that time, the Bohai detachment of the Jiaodong anti-Japanese column led by Wang Bingqian was surrounded by the Japanese army in Daji Mountain in Ye County, which was caused by a traitor secretly sending intelligence to the Japanese army, and this traitor was Liu Kuizhang, who was the political commissar of the Bohai detachment at that time, according to the investigation, Liu Kuizhang did not have a deep hatred with your father-in-law Wang Bingqian, and he was also raised by Wang Bingqian, Liu Kuizhang was able to speak and was very appreciated by Wang Bingqian, and it can be said that Wang Bingqian's minister was a minister, as for why Liu Kuizhang betrayed Wang Bingqian, the reason for this is that Zhang Xiaohui did not know, but the information was indeed handed over to Zhang Xiaohui by Liu Kuizhang personally, and he received ten gold bars from the Japanese afterwards, these two exchanges were one-line contact between Zhang Xiaohui and Liu Kuizhang, Zhang Xiaohui explained to me truthfully, he was afraid that one day he would expose his true identity and be killed by Liu Kuizhang. ”

"Does this Zhang Xiaohui have evidence of Liu Kuizhang's collaboration with the enemy?"

"No, if there were, I would have reported it to my superiors a long time ago."

"Feng Yi, this Zhang Xiaohui's identity is correctly screened, right?"

"Big brother, I personally went to Zhang Xiaohui's hometown in Ye County secretly, found his parents, and learned about Zhang Xiaohui and Zhang Minghui's physical characteristics in detail, I dare to conclude that Liu Kuizhang executed the businessman Zhang Minghui, and now it is the traitor Zhang Xiaohui who knows Liu Kuizhang's true face."

"Feng Yi, this matter can't be rushed, we must do a good job of secrecy, once Liu Kuizhang gets the news that Zhang Xiaohui will definitely die, even you are facing great danger, because it is impossible to bring down Liu Kuizhang who is in the middle of the day only by the traitor Zhang Xiaohui's words, in that case, it is very likely that the snake will not be bitten by the snake, Liu Kuizhang dares to betray his comrades on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it must be carefully planned, and after thinking that it is seamless, he dares to risk the world's condemnation to make a treasonous act, he can have a one-line contact with the traitor Zhang Xiaohui, It shows that the two of them are very close and trust Zhang Xiaohui very much, to be honest, for the murder of my father-in-law Wang Bingqian, I have also been secretly investigating, Liu Kuizhang is the biggest suspect, because Wang Bingqian was killed, the biggest beneficiary is Liu Kuizhang, maybe Liu Kuizhang has some handle in the hands of Wang Bingqian, threatening Liu Kuizhang's career, so as to eliminate dissidents by the hands of the Japanese, as far as I know, Liu Kuizhang's ex-wife Bai Yun is from Ye County, and her identity is very suspicious, but unfortunately, she and Liu Kuizhang divorced less than three months before her mysterious death, Interrupting this important clue, judging from this series of events, Liu Kuizhang is undoubtedly the real murderer of Wang Bingqian, and he is a heinous traitor and traitor. No matter how cunning Liu Kuizhang is, sooner or later he will show his flaws, and now there are three most critical characters, Zhang Shibao, Zhang Sanyan, Zhang Xiaohui, Zhang Shibao has been following Wang Bingqian and Liu Kuizhang all these years, and he is very familiar with both of them, and he should have mastered some clues of Liu Kuizhang's crimes, and Zhang Sanyan is now living with Liu Kuizhang, and he may know a little about his property situation, the work of these two people is done by me, Zhang Xiaohui's safety is your responsibility, you have to walk around with Liu Kuizhang quietly, stabilize him, one day, I will definitely find out Liu Kuizhang, the scum of the nation! ”

Jiang Fengyi and Daddy Liu drank the third glass of wine, stood up and hugged their fists at Daddy Liu and said, "Big brother, Zhang Xiaohui has been transferred to the farm by me for transformation, and there is absolutely no problem with personal safety, and the work of overthrowing Liu Kuizhang can only slowly find the opportunity according to your ideas, it is already very late, I still have a few martyr certificates in hand, and I must send them out overnight, I will leave first, you take Liu Zhangyan to my house another day, and I will have a good drink." ”

Father Liu instructed Zhang Yan to send Jiang Fengyi, Zhang Yan sent Jiang Fengyi away, and returned home first, Liu Lao Niang and the children had already had dinner, Zhizhang ran to his uncle Liu Chengzu's house to sleep, Xinzhang, Ai Dao and Xi Gu accompanied Liu Lao Niang on the kang to chat, Ai Dao took Zhang Yan's hand and said distressedly, "Sister-in-law, you have really worked hard today, hurry up and rest on the kang for a while." ”

Mrs. Liu also said with emotion, "Good girl, I am fortunate to have you at home, otherwise your father would be tired enough today to choke enough, are Feng Yi and your father still drinking?" For so many years, the two of them have been drinking all night, and there are endless words. ”

"Mother, Uncle Jiang didn't drink a few glasses just now, so he was busy sending martyr certificates to several martyrs in Hexi, and came back after a while to drink with Dad, Dad asked me to tell you that you don't have to leave the door for him at night, I drank with them in the study, Renzhang will not come back tonight to keep a wake for Houzhang, you just go to sleep first, close to the New Year's Pass, the street is not very peaceful, Sister Aidao, you come down and plug the courtyard door."

Zhang Yan then came to Zhongzhang's house, Wei Ji accompanied Liu Wen to drink alcohol, Zhongzhang and Renzhang sat on both sides of the mourning hall, and Lin Qi was busy in the back kitchen.

"Renzhang daughter-in-law, let's have a drink on the kang to relieve fatigue, you are tired today." Liu Wenzheng hurriedly greeted Zhang Yan, this afternoon when Zhang Yan spoke for Houzhang in the West House, Liu Wenzheng and Daddy Liu stood outside the door, heard clearly, he was grateful and admired Zhang Yan in his heart, in fact, he also knew that even if Zhang Yan did not argue with reason, Daddy Liu had decided to make two tablets of Houzhang, one in the family temple of the Liu family compound, and one in the ancestral hall of the Liu clan in the west of the village, but it was just a matter of going through the procedure, but I didn't expect Zhang Yan's tongue to fight the head of the house Liu Yuzu to persuade the clansmen with his own strength, It shows his outstanding ability to govern the family.

Wei Ji also jumped off the kang and pulled Zhang Yan on the kang to drink, Wei Ji since she peeped in the study Daddy Liu, Zhang Lu, Zhang Yan after the secret meeting of the three in the study, she was respectful of Zhang Yan, she knew that Daddy Liu could be so fond and reuse Zhang Yan, which shows that Zhang Yan is indeed superior, especially after she was recognized by Daddy Liu, Zhang Yan never showed the slightest difference to herself, as if she didn't know that she had violated the family rules, this time she did her best to manage the aftermath of the fifth brother Houzhang, which made Wei Ji even more moved.

Zhang Yan was also not polite, picked up a glass of wine and said to Liu Wenzheng, "Uncle, my brother Houzhang is a glorious revolutionary martyr who sacrificed his life for the country, my father is right, the children of the Liu family have righteous feelings for the family and country, Renzhang and Zhongzhang can also rush up when the country needs it, Wei Ji's sister will also go to the front line after the year, and serve the country with Yizhang, I salute you and Wei Ji with this glass of wine." After speaking, Zhang Yan drank all the wine in the cup, after Zhang Yan's reassurance, Liu Wenzheng and Wei Ji's mood was much better, the two of them also drank the wine in the cup, Wei Ji wanted to pour wine for Zhang Yan again, Zhang Yan excused himself and said, Daddy Liu accompanied the guests in the study, and needed to accompany her, Wei Ji took Zhang Yan's arm and sent her out of the hospital, Renzhang didn't dare to look at Zhang Yan from beginning to end, for fear that Zhang Yan would find out about his affair with Lin Qi, he knew that Zhang Yan was too smart, and he was like a transparent person in front of her, She can see through her heart at a glance, Lin Qi is the same as Renzhang, hiding in the back kitchen and not daring to come out to meet Zhang Yan, in the afternoon with Renzhang in the back kitchen lightning marriage, it is the happiest moment for Lin Qi to marry in the Liu family compound for more than five years, from the wedding night Renzhang respected himself, Lin Qi has a good impression of this slightly shy man, over the years, Zhongzhang just used himself as a tool to vent his desires, playing with his body but thinking about Huilan, in order to make himself pregnant, Zhongzhang is even more to the point of madness, All kinds of obscene means made Lin Qi humiliated, always felt that he was the Liu family compound bought livestock, only Renzhang sympathized and cared for himself from time to time, in order to repay Renzhang, he wanted to give him his body several times, Renzhang was afraid to avoid it, and fled, never expected that Renzhang had just married Zhang Yan, who was both talented and beautiful, but hit it off with himself, the excitement and satisfaction of cheating made Lin Qi want to stop, she got endless pleasure from Renzhang, but she added countless disgust to Zhongzhang.
