Zhou Yiying has never faced a state organ such as the People's Internal Affairs Committee, let alone the responsibilities of the People's Internal Affairs Committee. If she knew now, she was afraid that she would not dare to speak. Perhaps thanks to the blessing of "ignorance", Zhou Yiying was able to have a fairly smooth conversation with these comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee normally. In these conversations, she could feel that these people were extremely difficult to deal with.

There was no coercion and intimidation, no coarse voices, the members of the People's House Committee simply asked questions one by one according to the pre-set questions, and then recorded the answers. Other than that, they didn't have any problems out of their own feelings at all, and they didn't have any expressions out of their emotions. These people are just cold, as if they are dealing with things that have nothing to do with them, asking questions, answering, and recording.

The questions asked do not involve any subjective thoughts of the individual, but only about the various existences of reality. It's nothing more than time, place, people, events.

In Liu Yongyi's counter-revolutionary rebellion this time, Zhou Yiying's role and experience are not complicated. As the director of the Women's Federation of Liujiapu District, Wuhe County, Zhou Yiying received one of the tasks to be a model of women's emancipation and to become a model of labor in the district. If we want to become a model of labor among the masses, we must show first-class practical results in agricultural work. Liujiapu District is the first officially developed base area of the People's Party outside the Fengtai County base area. With the help and leadership of the troops, at the end of last year, we finally had time to plant several thousand acres of winter wheat. This part of the land is considered public land for the time being, and according to the plan, the comprehensive land reform in Wuhe County will be carried out after the wheat harvest. At this stage, the land allocated to each family is temporarily planted.

After Zhou Yiying received the task, he began to work with new farm tools. The bright new farm tool is very attractive to the people, Zhou Yiying, a woman, can rely on this farm tool to cultivate the field alone, and it is naturally impossible for the people who are croppers not to pay attention to it. A few days ago, after Zhou Yiying finished his farm work, he went to visit the people in the waizi according to the usual practice, and the people surnamed Liu finally asked about the new farmhouse. According to the training, Zhou Yiying immediately began to talk about the latest "peasant association loan plan". As long as the people who join the peasant association, when cultivating the allocated "temporary planting land", they can borrow new agricultural tools from the peasant association for free.

Farmers have always been very interested in free things, let alone these very good farm tools. In order to be able to penetrate the grassroots as soon as possible, the BJP can be said to have exhausted all its capabilities. Free borrowing farm tools is one of the killer features. Sure enough, the farmer immediately showed great interest. The hostess was very interested in this, but the male owner of the house couldn't help but say a word of objection, "What's the hurry, when Liu Yongyi and them come back, I don't know what will happen." ”

Zhou Yiying was very concerned about this sentence, and reported this matter when reporting work. Then, the man of the house was suddenly taken away. A few days later, when Liu Yongyi launched an attack on Weizi, he was caught by the troops who had been ambushed in advance. What happened in the middle, Zhou Yiying didn't know at all.

The questioning lasted for a long time, and Zhou Yiying was puzzled by the almost identical questioning. The comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee asked questions in detail, and every little thing had to correspond to the time, place, person, and event. Except that there is no persecution, it is almost the same as interrogating a prisoner. Zhou Yiying tried to ask the comrades on the other side several times what was going on. But the comrade on the other side only told Zhou Yiying that this was a routine inquiry. Zhou Yiying only needs to answer the questions realistically.

When the inquiry was over, he heard the order that he could leave the office, Zhou Yiying only felt a sense of relief in his heart, and the feeling of exhaustion immediately came to his heart, compared with being questioned, he was not so tired from doing farm work for a day.

Out of the office, Zhou Yiying first went to the office of the secretary of the county party committee, only to see that Secretary Wu Liao was also working with a tired face, seeing Zhou Yiying come in, Wu Liao stopped what he was doing, and asked with concern: "Director Zhou, these people didn't make things difficult for you, right?" ”

How did the organization's questioning become difficult? Zhou Yiying was a little puzzled, but when Wu Liao asked him like this, Zhou Yiying suddenly felt that he was indeed being troubled. Thinking of this, Wu Liao had already pulled a stool for Zhou Yiying to sit down. "What did they ask?"

Zhou Yiying found this question difficult to answer, the comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee asked so many questions, so fragmentary and specific, it really made her say what she asked, but there was no way to define it. Zhou Yiying had no choice but to reply: "They only asked me what happened to me, and nothing else." ”

After listening to Zhou Yiying's answer, Wu Liao said with a little depression, "I have already written a report, but after they came, they didn't listen to me, they just asked the matter again." Questioned all the people involved in the matter. There are so many questions, so detailed. Those people made it clear that they didn't believe us. ”

Zhou Yiying listened to Wu Liao complaining, but he didn't know what to say. She herself is just the director of the women's federation in the district, and she is so far from Wu Liao's status. Wu Liao can only complain, but she does not dare to directly confront the comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee, what can she say, a small cadre with sesame mung beans?

"Forget it, don't talk about it." Wu Liao only said a few words of grumbling and gave up his intention to continue complaining, "Anyway, you're here too, let's just talk about work." What do the masses of Liujiapu think of the peasant association? How many new people are joining the peasant association? ”

When Liu Jiapu was first laid down and a new regime was established. The attitudes of the local people in Liujiapu towards the People's Party were almost opposite, and the people in the enclosure naturally did not want to see the People's Party, and the reason for their temporary silence was simply out of fear of the local troops. And the people who had besieged the siege were firmly supportive of the new regime.

When the BJP troops began planting winter wheat, the attitudes of the people in the enclosure changed. In any case, the people had to eat, and the fact that the People's Party had taken over the granary in the enclosure certainly made these people dissatisfied. But these people are not the owners of the granary after all, and the granary is all in charge of the landlords and clans like Liu Baye. Instead, it was the winter wheat planted by the BJP in the name of the public fields that was the key. Since it is a "public field", it means that the grain must be taken out and distributed with everyone. A disaster year does not only affect the harvest of the year, but also a year or two after the catastrophe will be miserable. Being able to restore basic field planting so quickly means that as long as natural disasters do not continue, the next year's harvest is still basically guaranteed.

At the local congress of the BJP, a charter was set whereby 30% of the winter wheat planted after the harvest went to the BJP government. The rest of the harvest is divided among the heads, and each person distributes a year's worth of grain with one pound of rations a day. If there is any surplus, this part of the grain will be put in the county as a reserve grain for unified distribution. What the people of Liujiapu have to do is to provide labor to take care of the crops.

In those years, the cost of employing strong laborers was not low, and the thousands of hardcover laborers of the army played a great role in this planting, and the seeds were also provided by the People's Party, so the people actually took a big advantage. And so the charter was adopted. As a result, the masses' resistance to the BJP has also decreased considerably. On this basis, the People's Party began to form local peasant associations and provide new iron farming tools to the people free of charge.

All this work was done in preparation for the large-scale implementation of comprehensive land reform after the summer harvest, and Wu Liao was very anxious about this work. If we cannot take advantage of natural disasters to complete land reform and establish the foundation of a new system, it will be extremely difficult to do our work in the future. Therefore, although the comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee caused him considerable unhappiness, compared with the work at hand, this unhappiness was nothing at all.

Wu Liao began to discuss his own work, and the comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee also discussed their work. This time it was Qi Huishen who led the team, although he looked calm when he was talking, when only the committee's own comrades were left, everyone also showed a tired look. The comrades who were questioned had other work to do, but Qi Huishen could only keep asking questions and inquiring about them. This is also a very severe test of their mental and physical strength.

"Secretary Qi, are we doing this a little too harshly on our comrades." The person who questioned him was Bi Qingshan. He was a new comrade brought by Qi Huishen from Shanghai. Bi Qingshan is a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, and during the Gengzi Incident, Shanxi was very bad at destroying churches, and as a result, foreigners demanded that Shanxi not only restore churches, but also build church schools. As a result, Bi Qingshan studied in a church school, accepted new ideas, and spoke fluent English with a Shanxi accent. After graduating from high school, Bi Qingshan went to Shanxi University. After reading Chen Ke's book "The Rise of Materialism and the Inheritance of Chinese Culture" in the school, he and several classmates felt that they had found the leader in their minds. They simply went to Shanghai together to visit Chen Ke. But Chen Ke had already arrived in Anhui at that time, and these young people only saw Qi Huishen. After talking with Qi Huishen, these people simply chose to enter Shanghai Renxin Medical College to study medicine. When Qi Hui went deep to the base area, Bi Qingshan insisted on coming with him. After receiving training at the party school, Bi Qingshan became a staff member of the newly formed People's Internal Affairs Committee.

After listening to Bi Qingshan's question, other comrades also had some of the same thoughts. Everyone looked at Qi Huishen and wanted to hear how the secretary of the People's Party, who had begun to gradually take on the party and government work, had to answer.

"Qingshan, if it weren't for our investigation, after a while, someone suddenly said that Comrade Zhou Yiying had something to do with Liu Yongyi and these bandits. She reported these bandits only because she wanted to protect herself and had to betray her accomplices. What do you think we're going to do then? ”

"It's too late to investigate then, right?" Bi Qingshan replied.

"Investigate again then? Look at the answer of this Comrade Zhou Yiying. Qi Hui pointed to the interrogation record, "Are these places obviously contradictory?" ”

Several young comrades came around to take a look, and sure enough, Zhou Yiying said in front that he had just heard a question about Liu Yongyi, and later said that he had specifically asked Liu Yongyi about it. And there are discrepancies in terms of timing. Some mention the morning, some mention the afternoon. After reading this, the young comrades frowned.

Qi Huishen looked at the vigilant looks of his comrades, and couldn't help but smile: "I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with this Comrade Zhou Yiying. Comrade Zhou Yiying has no problem, she is vigilant enough. However, from these answers, we can see the changes in Comrade Zhou Yiying's mood. If she only answers the questions truthfully, then there will only be a time error memory, and there will be no difference between active and passive questions. The wrong memory of time is because everyone is busy and doesn't remember clearly. This kind of mistake is normal. However, the contradiction between active inquiry and passive listening is a problem of mentality. ”

After listening to Qi Huishen's words, Bi Qingshan thought for a while before asking: "What Secretary Qi means is that taking the initiative to ask seems to be very meritorious, and passively hearing about it is just his own job?" ”

"That's pretty much it." Qi Huishen agreed with Bi Qingshan's analysis.

Bi Qingshan frowned slightly, "Judging from our overall inquiry, Comrade Zhou Yiying only passively heard that she went to the people's homes only to work for the peasant association. It has nothing to do with Liu Yongyi's affairs. Isn't that nonsense? ”

"Qingshan, you don't have to go online like this. For Comrade Zhou Yiying, this is not a lie, but a matter of mentality. According to what Chairman Chen said when he gave us training, this is also human nature. Qi Hui smiled deeply, and after laughing, his expression became serious again, "However, if this matter has only passed for a few days, and everyone has not had time to have so many ideas, the emotion of inviting merit in this mentality will make the content of the statement change a little." Without our investigation now, and if we investigate in the future, how much do you think there would be such a personal emotional thing in the information we got at that time? ”
