With Chen Zikun's current status, he naturally would not personally hold a gun to threaten the small rice shop owner, he just wondered why the price of rice rose so fast, so he didn't bring his entourage and came to the door of the rice shop with Liu Ting.

The rice shop business is very good, there is a long queue at the door, all of them are poor people in shabby clothes, Chen Zikun has the heart to observe the people's feelings, follow the back of the queue, queue up for a while, the owner of the rice shop shouted: "Neighbors, today's rice is sold out, please be early tomorrow." ”

The customers complained again and again, and went back with empty rice bags, and the guys at the rice shop began to come to the door panel, and Chen Zikun walked over and asked, "Why did you collect it so early?" ”

He was dressed decently, and he was tall, and the boss didn't dare to slack off, so he laughed and said, "This gentleman buys rice?" Sorry, it's sold out. ”

Chen Zikun pointed to the sack in the shop: "Isn't that all rice?" ”

The boss said, "Those don't sell." ”

Chen Zikun said: "You are a hoarder, and you will be found to be in prison." ”

The boss saw the car and the bodyguard not far away, and knew that this master was not easy to fool, so he complained: "How dare the small shop hoard food, but the price of this price is rising too fast, and I don't know what the market of fiat currency will be tomorrow, so I don't dare to sell it for fear of discounting." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Don't worry, I won't report you, I just want to buy a hundred catties of millet." ”

The boss looked around, and after confirming that it was safe, he lowered his voice and said, "That's it, I'll sell you a hundred catties." Immediately quoted a price, Liu Ting exclaimed: "Why is the price increasing again?" ”

"This eldest sister is wrong, it's not that I have raised the price, it's that the fiat currency has dropped again, I can't complain about it, if you use the ocean, or US dollars to buy, the price of rice will not only not rise, but I also dare to give you a discount, alas, this year's money should not be used for money, that is waste paper, no matter how fast I rise, it is not as fast as the banknotes fall."

Chen Zikun said: "I didn't bring so much money, so let's write an IOU and ask people to pay it back." ”

The boss saw that he was full of style, and said politely: "Then go eat it, and give you any money." But he took a pen and paper in one hand, saw that Chen Zikun wrote an IOU, took it and looked at it, and the signature startled him: "Oh, I'm blind, I didn't recognize it as your old man, damn it, I should honor your old man." ”

Chen Zikun said: "You don't have to be polite, it is natural to buy things and give money." ”

In this way, I took a hundred catties of millet on credit, loaded it in the car and drove it to the house of Shao Qiuming, the president of Jiangdong University, the Chinese medicine doctor was diagnosing the old man, and it took a long time to come out, shaking his head and sighing to write a prescription, President Shao's son is called Shao Lin, and asked in a low voice: "Doctor, how is my father's condition?" ”

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioner said: "Ling Zun has a rock on his liver, and there is nothing he can do about it, so he can only prescribe a few prescriptions to slowly recuperate, and if the patient is in a good mood, he can live a few more months." ”

Chen Zikun said: "What is a rock? ”

Shao Lin said: "It's a malignant tumor, Western medicine calls it cancer, the day before yesterday, the Western doctor from the provincial hospital had already come, and he said that there was no way, so I invited Chinese medicine to come and see." ”

The family was gloomy, the ladies were secretly weeping, and Ah Huang, the servant who was waiting for Shao Qiuming, came out and said: "The old gentleman asked General Chen to go in and talk, and the idle people should not follow up." ”

So Chen Zikun entered the ward alone, he cheered up, and deliberately laughed heartily: "Principal Shao, what's the matter, I'm just lying down with a minor illness, and I'm still waiting for you to preside over the opening ceremony together." ”

Shao Qiuming sat up with support, the person lost a lot of weight, waved his hand and sat down: "General, please sit down, the old age is short, and some words are not spit out or unhappy." ”

Chen Zikun said: "But it doesn't hurt to speak, I keep it in mind." ”

Shao Qiuming said: "When I joined the League, how high-spirited, how fierce I was, I wanted to break the old world and build a new China, but I didn't expect the Kuomintang to fall so quickly, and today's rulers, even inferior to the Manchu era, don't care about eating at all, alas, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was a good time to establish a ** coalition regime, life was delayed by them, the people's hearts were lost, the economy collapsed, General Chen, the gas is exhausted, the gas is exhausted. ”

The old gentleman was so distressed that he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Chen Zikun wanted to call someone, but Shao Qiuming waved his hand to stop: "No, I still have one more sentence, the general needs to think about it carefully." ”

"Please."

"Judging from the current situation, the government will not be able to maintain it for a few years, Jiangdong will be difficult to support alone, I hope that when the People's Liberation Army comes, the general will understand the current affairs, and do not drag Jiangdong's 30 million fathers and elders into the flames of war, and the old people will thank the general." As he spoke, he was about to get out of bed and bow down, Chen Zikun hurriedly pressed him on the bed: "Mr. Shao doesn't stop here, Chen has remembered that if the soldiers really come to the city, or go or make peace, they will never fight as bloody as resisting the Japanese invaders." ”

Shao Qiuming breathed a sigh of relief, his face was much softer, and he muttered, "That's good, that's good." ”

Chen Zikun said: "I heard that the old gentleman participated in a declaration of boycott of American flour, I deeply admire, but people are iron rice and steel, and it is not okay not to eat, not to mention that you are sick, I brought a hundred catties of millet from Jiangbei, you can drink some porridge." ”

Shao Qiuming smiled indifferently and said: "With my family's background, it's not that I can't afford to buy food, but I know that time is short, and I want to die to protest against the United States' support for Japan. ”

Chen Zikun pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, just Mr. Yi." ”

……

Coming out of Shao Qiuming's house, Chen Zikun was in a very heavy mood, what the old professor said was very reasonable, the Kuomintang was exhausted, and it could not be maintained for a few years, but the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, the Kuomintang occupied the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were millions of male soldiers, and it was possible to rule the river without a good time, and how Jiangdong Province could stay out of the matter and avoid the war was a major matter for him to consider.

Back at the official residence, Chen Zikun immediately convened a meeting of military and political officials to discuss countermeasures, and when Chen Bei saw his father returning, he leaned over and said, "Father, there is something ......

"I'll say it when I'm ready." Chan said.

"That's right, I have a friend's wife who was arrested by the Beitai Police Department, and they asked me to see if I could ask you for a warrant to release the person."

Chen Zikun was furious: "You have also learned to interfere in the judiciary!" Do you think the world in Jiangdong belongs to your father? Do you think your father can pardon criminals with a word? Ridiculous! ”

Chen Beinuo continued to speak, bowed his head and retreated.

Just as Xia Xiaoqing went downstairs, seeing this and asking, Chen Zikun said, "Look at the good son you taught." "Walk away.

Xia Xiaoqingliu raised her eyebrows, she wanted to be mad or held back, and asked her son, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Beidao: "Yang Shu's wife injured the police and was arrested by the police station on the charge of being a *** spy, I have seen that woman, she is a rural village girl, not *** at all." ”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "Your intentions are good, but your father is in a bad mood these days, wait a few days, and my mother will help you talk about it." ”

Chen Beidao: "It's too late, now the cases involving the communist spy are handled quickly and shot directly, if Ma Chunhua is sentenced to death, how can I explain to Yang Shu." ”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "Then there is really no way, your father is iron-faced and selfless, if you dare to use his name, you must be shot." ”

Chen Bei hurriedly said: "I'm going to be sentenced today, I can't watch Ma Chunhua die." ”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "There is a way, the high-level route doesn't work, let's take the bottom route, your uncle has saved some gold bars with me, and now I can only take it out and use it first, you bring a hundred taels of gold to Beitai to be accommodating, find a way to exchange a tanuki for the prince, and rescue people." ”

Chen Beidao: "Great, I'll fly over." ”

……

After Ma Chunhua was arrested and put in the police station, she suffered a lot, and she tasted all the salt water whip dipped in salt water on the tiger bench, but for the female guerrillas who had been injured many times, these were not a problem, she was killed without spitting, and resolutely refused to admit that she was ***.

The detective team saw her posture of a rural shrew, guessing that even *** was a peripheral person, and she couldn't access high-level secrets, so she was sent to the detention center to wait for the verdict, Ma Chunhua couldn't tell the difference between the detention center and the prison, she thought that she was in prison like this, and she was very proud, as a revolutionary, if she hadn't squatted in the prison of the Kuomintang reactionaries, it was a small shortcoming in her life resume.

The environment in the detention center is harsh, gloomy and damp, the ground is covered with corrupt straw, and there are bullies in the women's prison, but in front of Ma Chunhua, any prison bully is like a scumbag, and he was beaten by Ma Chunhua in less than a day.

Ma Chunhua was handcuffed and shackled, and several criminal and economic prisoners were escorted into the first court in Beitai. ”

First tried a woman who murdered her husband and sentenced to death, the woman was immediately paralyzed into the mud, screaming to the sky, and dragged down by the bailiff, and then a profiteer who hoarded food, was also sentenced to death, and the profiteer was disgraced and wept silently.

Finally it was Ma Chunhua's turn, she stood in the dock, stroked her hair, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of her mouth, the prosecutor read the charges, Ma Chunhua's main crime was to obstruct the police in the execution of their official duties, and used a rolling pin to beat a detective team member to a cerebral hemorrhage, and is still lying in the hospital.

"Sentenced to death, immediately executed." After the judge pronounced the verdict, the gavel struck: "Next." ”

Ma Chunhua did not go limp, nor did she cry, she was even a little excited, dying on the execution ground is the best destination for revolutionaries, she began to think about what slogan to shout at the last moment, is it *** long live, or to defeat the Kuomintang reactionaries?

A prisoner cart escorted seven condemned prisoners to the Jiangtan Execution Ground, where seven long soil pits had been dug in the ground, shovels were inserted aside, and several migrant workers were squatting on the side with their hands on the side, smoking, waiting to bury them.

The condemned prisoners were escorted down, the autumn wind was bleak, the river was turbid, the prisoners knelt in front of the earthen pit, each with a black cloth bag on their heads, Ma Chunhua refused to kneel, refused to take a head covering, and the police did not force her, so she stood in front of the pit.

"Ready!" The marshals captain raised a hand, and the firing squad pulled the bolt and raised the rifle.

Ma Chunhua cleared her throat, and just as she was about to shout a slogan, a gunshot rang out.

The backs of the condemned prisoners splashed with blood, and they immediately threw themselves into the pit, feces and urine flowed from under their trousers, mixed with blood, Ma Chunhua closed her eyes, waited for her shot, and did not wait for a long time.

A bailiff with a beard untied Ma Chunhua's rope and said, "Go west along the river, you can get to Nantai, you can go." ”

Ma Chunhua was excited, she must have come forward to rescue herself.
