Chapter 48 The Commissioner Dies
Night has fallen!
Ten o'clock is approaching when I agreed to meet with Long Tiangang!
What to do? Su Tong, who was tied up strongly, racked his brains and couldn't think of a way to get out.
I didn't think of a way to get out, but there were two options churning in Su Tong's mind:
First, I took a special liaison officer to Shiwa to "find Honghe Lang" and asked Long Tiangang to save me; Let Long Tiangang solve the special liaison Gao Baofu. Although this method is more proactive, I am afraid that I will encounter some accidents after I go out: or let the special liaison escape; Or maybe I've been taken captive! And so the unexpected can happen. But it may be that there is nothing, and Long Tiangang will kill Gao Baofu smoothly.
The second is to stay put, and wait for Long Tiangang to come. Anyway, when I was talking to Huang Tiankui on the waves of the Hong River, I put the note with the specific address under the stone that Long Tiangang said, and Long Tiangang would find it here. But don't move on the spot, if you wait for Long Tiangang to come, you are afraid that Long Tiangang will rashly crash in, and the consequences will be unimaginable! But Su Tong thinks that Long Tiangang is not the kind of person who is reckless.
Su Tong was still weighing and making difficult choices, and there was a noise outside the hut - Long Tiangang had already arrived - after You Jian became the deputy commander, he took care of things the next day, and sent two minions to the stone depression to put a red silk cloth, saying that he wanted to report to the No. 1 leader of the "Salvation Association" - he wanted the No. 1 leader to meet at Shiwa at ten o'clock tonight (in fact, he had agreed with Su Tong in advance).
In the past, when Huang Tiankui met the commander, he was alone; Since he had You Jian as his personal guard, he took You Jian with him. Now that You Jian is the deputy commander, he wants to see the commander, so he doesn't want to be accompanied.
When You Jian (Long Tiangang) came to the stone depression, he sat on a stone and waited for Su Tong to come and meet.
Ten o'clock.
Ten twenty.
Ten twenty-one.
Ten twenty-two.
Ten twenty-three.
Ten twenty-six.
β¦β¦
Long Tiangang waited until half past ten o'clock, and never waited for Su Tong, who should have come to meet him on time at ten o'clock.
How? Su Tong failed to kill Hong Helang? Su Tong was killed by Hong Helang?
Long Tiangang couldn't sit still! He followed the address that Su Tong had put under the stone last time. Quietly touched the hut where Hong Helang lived.
"Wow! Woohoo! Long Tiangang went outside the hut and learned two frog calls first.
No response!
"Wow! Woohoo! Long Tiangang learned two more frog calls.
Still no response!
Not without reaction! It was Su Tong, who was gagged with a cloth by the special liaison officer, who couldn't react.
Long Tiangang, who didn't see a reaction to the frog call twice, is more vigilant!
Long Tiangang moved silently towards the hut.
One-step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
Ah! Oh no! Su Tong is tied up there!
Su Tong was tied there, which means that Hong Helang is not dead, so he must be more careful.
Long Tiangang approached inch by inch.
See! I saw the person opposite Su Tong!
However, this person is not the "No. 1 leader" Hong Helang who wears a top hat and a long shirt; Rather, a man in a tunic suit.
Who is this man in a tunic suit? Is it an accomplice of Hong Helang? Is it a subordinate of Hong Helang? Is it Hong Helang's boss? Did Hong Helang die? Hong Helang died. This guy is alone. If Hong Helang hadn't died, then I would have faced two guys.
Anyway, let's get rid of this guy first; It's easy to get one wave left!
If Hong Helang is the only one left, then he has to send this guy to the west with one shot; Otherwise, it's two to one, at least a few to one.
Long Tiangang was engrossed, gathered twelve points of spirit, aimed and aimed, and counted and calculated. Pull the trigger on the man in the tunic β and with a crisp metal crash, an arc of yellow light burrowed straight into the tunic man's head.
Long Tiangang shot and killed the man in the tunic and was about to meet the flood waves, but he didn't hear any reaction; What I heard was Su Tong's buzzing laughter.
Long Tiangang judged from Su Tong's buzzing laughter: There is no threat of Honghe waves.
Long Tiangang rushed to Su Tong vigilantly, pulled out the white cloth in Su Meng's mouth, and loosened the rope on her bodyβthe two couldn't help but hug each other.
Su Tong told Long Tiangang about his relationship with Hong Helang, killed Hong Helang at four o'clock in the morning, and then dragged his body to Lijiang. He was tied with a stone and sank into the river. and a man in a tunic suddenly came in the morning, claiming to be Gao Baofu, the special liaison officer of the Secret Bureau. It is a person who regularly comes to connect with the waves of the flood river on the first day of every month. and the special liaison officer suspected her, tied her up, and so on told Long Tiangang as it was, and Long Tiangang breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Tong also made a request to Long Tiangang - she didn't want to stay alone in this airtight hut, and wanted to go back to the "Salvation Association" with Long Tiangang. Long Tiangang thought that it was too early, and that it would be at least a while before it was said, so as not to doubt the life of the "Salvation Congress." But he will report to Leader No. 1 in the name of reporting to his work. I came to visit her from time to time.
The two also considered at the same time that Gao Baofu, the special liaison officer of the Secret Bureau, did not return to his life; Maybe another person will be sent to connect with the "Honghe Wave"; It is also necessary to investigate the whereabouts of the former special liaison officer, Gao Baofu. Therefore, Long Tiangang not only has to visit Su Tong often, but also tries to take Su Tong to the "Salvation Association" as soon as possible.
On June 20 (1949), before meeting regularly with the No. 1 leader, Deputy Commander You Jian sent two minions to the stone depression to place a piece of red silk cloth on several occasions. said that he wanted to report to the No. 1 leader on the current situation of the "Salvation Congress"; Then he came to Shiwa alone to meet Su Tong.
In the past, when Huang Tiankui was the deputy commander, he basically went to Shiwa twice a month on the 5th and 20th to meet with the No. 1 leader; Except for very important and urgent matters, it is rare to send minions to the stone depression to place red silk cloth to meet with the number one leader. However, since You Jian became the deputy commander, he frequently sent two minions to the stone depression to put red silk cloth, saying that he wanted to report to the No. 1 leader on the current situation of the "Salvation Association". What situation does the "Salvation Congress" have to constantly report to the commander? This abnormal behavior has aroused suspicion; Among them, Guan Shanyan, the leader of the first squadron, was the most suspicious.
June 20 was the day when Deputy Commander You Jianqi met with the No. 1 leader.
Before ten o'clock in the evening, You Jian went to Shiwa, and Guan Shanyan, the leader of the first squadron, also secretly followed.
When Guan Shanyan followed You Jian to the stone depression from afar, he didn't see him wearing a top hat. The No. 1 leader, dressed in a long robe, meets with You Jian; What I saw was the wife of the No. 1 leader, and it can also be said that You Jian's wife Su Meng (Su Tong) met You Jian. Not only that, Guan Shanyan also saw Deputy Commander You Jian pulling and pulling with the commander's wife Su Meng, and behaved very intimately.
This shot made Guan Shanyan extremely stunned, and also made Guan Shanyan even more suspicious.
Is it a long-term plan, or is it a red-handed one? After a quick thought. Guan Shanyan, who thinks he is a veteran of the "National Salvation Association" and wants to be the deputy commander, decided to catch Shuang on the spot.
"Commander You! Who are you reporting to? Guan Shanyan asked angrily.
"You ......" Long Tiangang never thought that Guan Shanyan would follow him.
"Yo! Isn't this the Commander's Lady? Yeah! Formerly also the wife of the deputy commander. β
"Captain Guan! What are you here for? β
"What am I here for? I'll take a look at Commander You's beautiful woman under the moon! β
"I'm not a beautiful woman under the moon, I'm reporting work."
"Reporting? Are you reporting to her? β
"Yes! The No. 1 leader is not in good health today, so he asked his wife to come to listen to the report. β
"Really? As the No. 1 leader, I am not in good health today, and if you report to Mrs., you can't be so kind to me! β
"We don't have me!"
"Good, good! Without me, there would be no me. Then, since the number one leader is not in good health today, then I should also visit him; Ask the Commander's wife to lead the way! Guan Shanyan felt that there must be something strange in this. He's going to get to the bottom of it.
"Captain Guan! Boss No. 1 has always had a rule that only the deputy commander is allowed to see him. Long Tiangang was looking for a reason not to let Guan Shanyan see the number one leader.
"It's okay! Never mind! I'm also a veteran of the 'Salvation Congress', so it's okay to go and see the commander! β
"Captain Guan! If you don't like to hear it, you're not qualified at the moment! You are not glad that you went to the commander! Su Tong said in the tone of "Mrs. Commander".
"As I said just now, I'm a veteran of the 'Salvation Association', and it's okay to go and see the commander, if the commander is to blame, then I will take the blame, and I won't blame the commander's wife!"
"Alright! Since Captain Guan must go to see the commander. Then please! Su Tong saw that Guan Shanyan insisted on going, but Long Tiangang insisted on refusing. It was not a matter of stalemate like this, so he nodded in agreement - Su Tong brewed in his heart to clean up Guan Shanyan in the hut.
Su Tong was in front, Long Tiangang and Guan Shanyan were behind, and they walked to the hut one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After entering the hut, Long Tiangang, who had only been here once, and Guan Shanyan, who had never been here, were very uncomfortable when they saw the black rumbling inside; And Su Tong, who has been in it for more than half a month. But it's a familiar road.
"Commander! Captain Guan Shanyan sees you're here! Su Tong shouted inside.
Guan Shanyan heard Su Tong shout like this, and suddenly nervously stepped forward to say hello to the commander; But there was a sudden blow to the head - Guan Shanyan suddenly lost consciousness.
This stick was beaten by Su Tong.
The reason why Su Tong didn't beat Guan Shanyan to death with a stick was to listen to Long Tiangang's opinion; Long Tiangang thought that Guan Shanyan could no longer be allowed to live; So the two cut Guan Shanyan's throat, dragged Guan Shanyan to the Lijiang River, and dealt with Guan Shanyan in the same way as Hong Helang.
After dealing with Guan Shanyan. Su Tong thinks that Long Tiangang should not come more in the future; But she didn't want to be alone in that hut; So the two of them discussed doing so.
The next day, Deputy Commander You Jian convened a meeting of personnel at and above the level of deputy squad leader, and took great pains to convey the instructions of the No. 1 leader to speed up the training of troops, store grain and grass, and meet the counterattack.
Commander You was speaking, and suddenly someone came to report: Guan Shanyan, the leader of the first squadron, is missing!
When Deputy Commander You heard the report, he was furious! Even said in his mouth that on the occasion of employing people, this Guan Shanyan didn't know where to go?
Everyone was discussing Guan Shanyan's matter, and someone came to report it, saying that Su Meng, the wife of the No. 1 leader, came to report the funeral. Deputy Commander You immediately asked the wife of the No. 1 leader to come in and personally greeted him at the door of the lobby.
A group of people welcomed Su Meng to the lobby and asked the reason. Su Meng cried and said that the day before yesterday, the No. 1 leader, Commander Hong, had a recurrence of his old illness, and the pain in his heart was unbearable; In his death, he instructed his wife Su Meng that after he died, he would be buried in Lijiang; And all the funds were given to the "National Salvation Congress". At about six o'clock this morning, Commander Hong's heart stopped beating; According to his last wishes, Su Meng buried Commander Hong in Lijiang; And bring a large amount of funds to Deputy Commander You.
After listening to Su Meng's story, everyone felt very sudden and surprised, but they couldn't see any flaws; And Su Meng also brought a lot of money, not like murder for money; So everyone persuaded Su Meng (Su Tong) to mourn and change.
Some people believe that Su Meng was originally the wife of Deputy Commander You, but she was recruited by the No. 1 leader to be a wife for less than a month. Now that the No. 1 leader is dead, he should "return the things to their original owners" - and let Su Meng be the wife of Deputy Commander You. But Deputy Commander You and Su Meng both said that Commander Hong's bones were not cold, and he must not do this kind of thing that made Commander Hong unhappy. As soon as the two said this, everyone admired Deputy Commander You and Su Meng even more for their righteousness, sensibility, and righteousness.
After discussion, it was decided to leave Su Meng in the "Salvation Congress" to be in charge of money and food; His position is to quote the folk saying, called Mr. Keeper.
The No. 1 leader died, and the army could not be left without a leader, so everyone elected You Jian as the commander; After You Jian repeatedly pushed back, he said that it was better to be respectful than to obey his orders, and he would definitely lead everyone forward with all his might.
Guan Shanyan, the leader of the first squadron, is missing! Commander You appointed Yang Guoan, deputy squadron leader of the first squadron, as the squadron leader of the first squadron. (To be continued......)
