Chapter 45: The Power of Faith

Zhao Dahai was taken away by Chen Qilin, Chen Zikun was not reassured, Guo'er, this child has been stubborn since he was a child, he was radical in middle school in Beijing, and he has received the education of the Whampoa Military Academy and the baptism of war for so many years, and he is no longer the snotty follower in the miscellaneous courtyard back then.

Sure enough, when Chen Zikun came to the Longhua Martial Law Headquarters to ask for someone, Chen Qilin directly rejected him: "Commander Chen, you and I are both revolutionary soldiers, how can you bend the law for personal gain, please don't mention the matter of releasing people." ”

Chen Zikun didn't have any way, he could lead his troops to charge the 26th Army, but it was difficult to rush Bai Chongxi's headquarters, so he had to retreat: "Can I meet him?" ”

Chen Qilin hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Okay, the time can't be too long." ”

Zhao Dahai was not locked in a prison cell, but lived in a hospital, hanging a salt water bottle, his body was wrapped in bandages, and he had woken up from a coma, compared with a few years ago, Brother Dahai was much thinner, his face was full of hard stubble, his eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth were upturned, as if he was smiling at any time.

"You're here." Zhao Dahai Nunu mouthed, "Sit down, I have a wound on my hand, I can't help you pour water, greet yourself." ”

Chen Zikun sat on the edge of the bed and checked his injuries, the gendarmerie tortured many methods to extract confessions, in addition to the soldering iron, there were also tiger chairs and leather whips, Brother Dahai was covered with scars, and several ribs were broken.

"Brother Dahai, what are you doing? Why do you keep getting caught, I have to catch you every time, no, you have to treat you. Chen Zikun laughed and joked.

"I don't have to say, how about Quanjude's roast duck, roll the crispy duck skin in a small pancake, dip it in sauce, and then bring some cucumber strips and green onions, that's called a fragrant, how can our brothers get two." Zhao Dahai replied with a smile.

"Two is enough, at least six, you and me, as well as Baoqing, Xiaoshunzi, Zhao Jiayong, Li Junqing, which one is not the one who can eat, let's eat a roast duck at noon, and then soak in Huaqing Pond for an afternoon, chatter, rub the old ashes, walk around the overpass in the evening, listen to the book, look at the style, come to the east in the evening, shabu mutton can be made, first say good, Brother Dahai, you pay for it."

The two of them burst out laughing.

After laughing, Zhao Dahai suddenly sighed: "The food in my hometown is so delicious, I haven't eaten it for five years." ”

There was a moment of silence.

Chen Zikun held Zhao Dahai's hand: "Recuperate with peace of mind, everything has me, they don't dare to do anything to you." ”

Zhao Dahai smiled faintly: "Why are you afraid of death, the revolution always has to be sacrificed, it doesn't matter if I die, it's just that my task has not been completed, brother, can you do me a favor." ”

"You say."

"I have a godson, a worker's child, named Ye Kai, his father died on the day of April 12, before he died, I promised him to take care of Ye Kai, now Shanghai is so chaotic, his sixteen-year-old child is too dangerous, you must help me take care of him."

Chen Zikun said: "Is it the kid who took the pistol I gave you?" ”

Zhao Dahai suddenly said urgently: "It's him, what's the matter, he was also arrested?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Don't worry, he is safe, I will send him out of Shanghai tomorrow." ”

Zhao Dahai nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll rest assured." ”

There was a knock on the door of the ward, and Chen Qilin stood at the door with a cold face: "It's time." ”

Chen Zikun got up and held Zhao Dahai's hand wrapped in gauze: "Brother Dahai, take care." ”

After Chen Zikun left, Chen Qilin walked in, pulled a chair and sat in front of the hospital bed and said: "Zhao Dahai, your comrades have been recruited, you are an armed cadre sent by Wuhan to protect dignitaries, if you can explain where those people are hiding, I can ask for instructions from Shangfeng and treat you leniently." ”

Zhao Dahai nodded: "Guo'er, you have really grown up." ”

Chen Qilin said: "There is no Chen Guoer here, only Chen Qilin, the commander of the National Revolutionary Army, Brother Dahai, we are old neighbors of the same courtyard, you grew up watching me, I really don't want to see such a thing happen, repent, what your party has done is to harm the country." ”

Zhao Dahai shook his head: "The Tao is different, we have different political concepts, there is nothing to say, I want to rest, please go." ”

Chen Qilin didn't say much, got up and left, and turned his head at the door: "Brother Dahai, think about it again, there are still parents, wives and children waiting for you in Beijing." ”

When he went out, he arranged for the adjutant to say: "Send more people, guard them strictly, and there must be no mistakes." ”

?? When Chan returned to the Wusong Anti-Smoking Enforcement Corps, Double Happiness reported that the men had been locked up in a cell.

"I interrogated it, and they said that they didn't know Reporter Tang, so they wanted to go in to avoid the limelight.

"Delicious to greet them." Chen Zikun nodded.

Double Happiness rubbed his hands: "Look at me, don't peel their skin, read my name upside down." ”

Chen Zikun shouted: "Come back, I will let you greet them well, I invite them to live in the guest room, four dishes and one soup to entertain, not to let you shed the skin of others." ”

Double Happiness was puzzled: "Dashuai, that's all ***." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It is because of this that I let you greet you well." ”

Although Double Happiness didn't understand, it still complied.

Xue Bin has a headache for Xue Bin for the handling of more than 100 prisoners in the makeshift cells of the Anti-Smoking Law Enforcement Corps, all of whom have been arrested in recent days.

"Kill it, it's all wronged, don't kill, it seems that we are not doing things effectively, the 26th division of people is killing people's heads, there is no movement on our side, Dashuai, do you say we will kill or not?"

Chen Zikun said: "Leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future, how many years have you been in the rivers and lakes, don't you understand this truth?" ”

Xue Bin said: "Mixing rivers and lakes is naturally like this, and we won't kill them all, but now aren't we playing politics." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Jianghu and politics are the same, it is better to settle the grievances than to tie the knot, *** and the Kuomintang are mortal enemies, do you have a grudge against us, if you cut off people's brains, you can ensure that people don't come back to cut your brains?" ”

Xue Bin suddenly realized: "It makes sense, when I go back, I will catch some ruffians and hooligans who take the opportunity to make trouble, and take their heads to give them a hand, those workers, they will be locked up for a few days and released." ”

Chen Zikun was worried about Zhao Dahai's safety, and after arranging the military camp, he drove to the French Concession to discuss with Li Yaoting about rescuing Zhao Dahai.

Li Mansion is more luxurious than in the past, there is a crystal chandelier hanging on the ceiling of the living room, like a European palace, Li Yaoting is wearing a suit and shoulders, crossing Erlang's legs and swallowing clouds and spitting fog, with two mustaches on his lips, and a lot of hair wax on his hair, which is meticulously raised back.

"Brother Dahai is really, what is wrong to do, you have to be ***, that's a head-killing thing, yes, who let us be brothers, I'll do this."

Chen Zikun said curiously: "Brother Dahai is going to commit a crime, what good can you do." ”

Li Yaoting said disdainfully: "What do you want to commit and don't commit, the first offender on the wanted warrant has not a thousand but eight hundred, all of them are bounty for heads, these days the heads of the people who kill workers are rolling, the chaos is very, it is easy to deal with it, let's not go through the above, directly find the people below who do the specific work, five thousand is not enough, just 10,000, I don't believe it, and I can't smash him." ”

Li Yaoting is the head snake in Shanghai, and it is more convenient to do things, so the matter will be entrusted to him to deal with, and Chen Zikun came to Tang Yan's house non-stop.

"Da Another, but it scared me to death, those people suddenly broke in, and they were still holding guns, I was really worried about you." Tang Yan threw herself into Chen Zikun's arms, looking like a frightened bird.

Chen Zikun patted her on the back gently: "It's okay, I've killed them all." ”

I obviously felt Tang Yan's body stiffen.

"What's wrong, uncomfortable?" Chen Zikun asked with concern.

"Oh, nothing." Tang Yan was hesitant.

Chen Zikun grabbed her slender waist and looked her in the eyes: "Actually, you brought these people, right?" ”

Tang Yan didn't dare to look at him, so she turned her face and said nothing.

"Shanghai Qing Communists, the concession is like a great enemy, how can these people get in, and how can they be so coincidental and break into your house, they clearly know you!"

Tang Yan turned her face and resolutely faced Chen Zikun: "You sent someone to spy on me?" ”

Chen Zikun smiled: "Do you still need to monitor this matter?" Just look at the articles you publish and know that you are ***. ”

Tang Yan said: "You look down on me too much, I'm not ***, I'm just their sympathizer, yes, these people were brought by me, they were hunted down by the army and had no way out, they wouldn't ask me for help unless they had to, but I didn't expect me to hurt them instead." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Yan covered her face and cried: "I'm sorry for the sacrificed comrades, you are an executioner, I don't want to see you again, you go." ”

Chen Zikun didn't say a word, turned around and left, Tang Yan cried even more fiercely.

?? A day later, Li Yaoting called and said that things were very difficult to handle, Zhao Dahai was still an important person, and the case had been reported to Commander-in-Chief Jiang, and no one dared to take this trick.

Chen Zikun thought about it again and again and found Bai Chongxi to intercede.

"Brother Jiansheng, this Zhao Dahai is my sworn brother, can you give him a face and spare him death." Chen Zikun got straight to the point and was straightforward, Bai Chongxi is a smart person, but it is not good to be sloppy.

"I naturally can't help but give face when you open your mouth, so let's let that Zhao Dahai write a letter of repentance, ** statement, and release people here immediately." Bai Chongxi is also very simple.

Chen Zikun went to the hospital again to persuade Zhao Dahai.

"Let me surrender to the enemy, and leave me alone." Zhao Dahai refused without even thinking about it.

"Stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood, just make a show, let you go on the front foot, and continue to make a revolution on the back foot, without delay at all." Chan continued to speak bitterly.

Zhao Dahai smiled, and from his eyes, Chen Zikun saw the arrogance of disdain and noble belief that was not understood.

"Da Kunzi, what I do is revolution, revolution, not a matter of promotion and wealth, but the business of cutting off heads, my head, I don't plan to ask for it from the day I participated in the revolution, you go back, and help me thank Xiao Shunzi, you are all good brothers."

Chen Zikun knew that persuasion was useless, so he had to leave, and the guards in the corridor looked at him with an indifferent expression, which made him feel very frustrated.

A day later, news came from Wuhan that the Nationalist Government expelled Chiang Kai-shek from the party, revoked him from his own positions, and ordered all the soldiers and revolutionary mass organizations to "take Chiang Kai-shek to the Central Committee and punish him according to the regulations on crimes." and placed all the armies under Chiang's command under the direct command of the Central Military Commission.

From then on, the Kuomintang went from an open struggle to an open split.

On the same day, the martial law headquarters issued an announcement to shoot Zhao Dahai and other leading members of the trade union, a total of 23 criminals, and on the day of the execution, Chen Zikun smoked at home for a day.

In the evening, Shuangxi came to report, saying that Chen Qilin was visiting, and Chen Zikun said that he told him that Lao Tzu was not comfortable today and was gone. Shuangxi went out and came back, and said, "Head Chen said that you were comfortable when you saw him." ”

Chen Zikun's heart moved, and when he went out, he saw Chen Qilin standing next to the car smoking in civilian clothes, and there was a person sitting in the car, wearing a military hat and wearing a military uniform with bandages, and a wounded soldier dressed up.
