After the four of them finished lunch, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and Mao Renfeng ordered Xu Yixuan and Fu Tieshan to accompany them, and called colleagues in Shanghai who could temporarily withdraw from work in the Shanghai branch to come to the original No. 76 interrogation room. Please search to see the most complete! Zhou Chengbin, who updated the fastest, also wanted to go along, and Dai Li said: "Chengbin, you stay for a while." ”

Mao Renfeng ordered Fu Tieshan to bring someone to escort Liu Zezhi up.

All those present stood up. Seeing that Xu Yixuan refused to speak, Gong Suhe dared to persuade: "Mr. Mao, please calm your anger." ”

Liu Zezhi hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Mr. Mao's anger is all the fault of his humble position, and his humble position should be damned!" I don't dare to do it anymore after being humble. ”

Liu Zezhi replied respectfully: "My subordinates are innocent of death, and I am willing to accept any punishment." ”

Hearing this, everyone didn't dare to intercede, and stood back to watch the punishment. Liu Zezhi was tied to the torture rack, the thug took the seven-foot-long steel whip and whipped it Liu Zezhi's back, Liu Zezhi's body who was tied to the torture frame couldn't help but be shocked, his head tilted back, and a crack was drawn when the military civilian clothes boarded, and the thugs exerted their strength, whipping down one whip after another, and immediately Liu Zezhi's body was covered with strips of blood, and the blood soaked through the military uniform. Liu Zezhi gritted his teeth and held on, holding on until he was unconscious.

Two hours have passed, the front and back of him have been whipped in turn, and the thugs have also changed twice, and the military uniform on Liu Zezhi's body can no longer see its original color, he fainted several times, and was woken up several times, and he still didn't say a word from beginning to end. Everyone in the Shanghai Branch who watched the sentence couldn't bear it, but Mao Renfeng said that everyone had to look at each other when they said that they were guilty of the same crime, and no one dared to speak out.

Suddenly, the steel whip broke in two, and Liu Zezhi was once again unconscious. A basin of cold water was poured on his head, but Liu Zezhi did not come to his senses. The thug was stunned at a loss. Peng Weiwei couldn't bear to sit back and watch anymore, and stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mao, go and check it out." ”

Hearing this, Gong Suhe couldn't help but stand up and said to Mao Renfeng: "If Mr. Mao insists on continuing the execution, Deputy Director Liu is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed, so it is better to shoot him with one shot, save him...... Mr. Mao, please allow your subordinates to carry out the order to be executed. ”

Fu Tieshan said: "Mr. Mao, punishment is enough, if you continue to fight, something will really happen!" Director Xu, please ask for a favor for Deputy Director Liu. ”

Mao Renfeng then ordered the thugs to retreat, looked around at everyone present, and said sternly: "Let's get here first today, it's cheaper for this bastard!" Whoever dares to commit rebellion again in the future will be punished in the same way. But think about it in advance, whether Liu Zezhi's outstanding military exploits can avoid the death penalty! ”

At eight o'clock that night, after five hours of coma, Liu Zezhi woke up and saw Zhou Chengbin next to the bedside.

"What, it's you?"

Liu Zezhi replied with difficulty: "I'm fine...... Don't blame Mr. Mao, it's my fault, I can pick it up, one life, it's the chief, it's extrajudicial......"

"I know, I didn't, resentful sir, alas, I decided, to do this, beforehand, prepared. But there are some things that you don't feel at ease if you don't do them. ”

"Why bother, bother you?" Liu Zezhi smiled hard: "If you know, will you stop me?" ”

"That's it, you can't stop it, you have been affected, implicated, and there is no one who turns around."

Liu Zezhi smiled bitterly: "I didn't plan to deceive the chief, to Li Shiqun, that's different, Li Shiqun is the enemy." ”

Liu Zezhi sighed: "That's it, it's good, thank you, you are the guarantee for me, right?" ”

Liu Zezhi sighed and did not speak.

"The last time I went back to Chongqing, I visited, the ambassador's wife, personally cooked, talked about my relationship with the United Kingdom, I said, after the recovery, I hope to have the opportunity to continue my studies, Mr. Ambassador, said that he is willing to come forward, I thought that it was just a sentence, but I didn't expect Mr. Edwards, is serious, just recovered......"

"Lao Zhou, Liu has no burial ......"

Liu Zezhi sighed again and replied: "Please say a word for me, Boss Dai, and Mr. Mao: My subordinates have lived up to the expectations of the chief." Liu Zezhi smiled with difficulty: "Lao Zhou, Li Wei, yes, good woman, my house, after the recovery, I didn't even take out a look, time, it's for you." ”

"Me too, I'm worried, you're a major general agent, and you're still worried about not having an official residence to live in? Lao Zhou, Da Ke, and Lao Peng, before they were No. 76, you try your best to take care of them. Also, No. 76, technical personnel, if you can not pursue it, you won't pursue it. ”

Zhou Chengbin replied: "Do you still need to tell me?" You can rest assured. ”

Zhou Chengbin nodded in agreement, wrote down the password, and replied: "I remember, and Ni Xin, I will bury him well." ”

"Okay, then I'll go first, and I'll come to see you when I see off the chief."

A year later, the Civil War broke out. On August 23, the 35th year of the Republic of China, Liu Zezhi received an urgent telegram, signed that after Dai Li's death in a plane crash and the military command was reorganized into the Secret Bureau, Mao Renfeng, the newly appointed director of the bureau, ordered him to leave immediately and return to Nanjing to serve as the colonel director of the office of the director of the secret bureau.

This time, where does he go from here?
