Chapter 44, Section 3
The third section of the tobacco cart shop
The agent, who was recognized as the little one Immortal, sat on the ground with a dead face, leaning on a stool.
The owner of the coffin shop was invited to tell a story, and he didn't think about it and recognized an unfilial son who was rumored to have harmed his parents, and he was also surprised, and felt that the atmosphere in the house was a little bad, so he got up, arched his hand, and wanted to say goodbye and go back to the shop.
Qingpi Housheng still looked at this immortal who was piled up there like a puddle of mud with interest, and Boss Ren kicked him, only then did he wake up, bowed to Lao Feng, and followed closely behind the boss.
Section Chief Jin hurriedly caught up and sent the two of them, at this moment, Hong Mei poured a bowl of water, walked over and put it on the stool, knocked on the surface of the stool, and signaled Changsheng to drink a bowl of water to calm down.
"Still have a cigarette, brother?" When Lao Feng pressed the tobacco into his cigarette pouch and pot, he asked Changsheng.
"No, don't, smoke too hard." Changsheng replied weakly with a dumb voice, squatted up on the stool, picked up the bowl and drank the water in a big gulp, drinking too quickly, choking and coughing.
"In my opinion, you're not spicy, you're choking." Hong Mei carried the crockpot and said coldly while refilling the water for the spy Changsheng.
Lao Feng also put away his smile, and while filling the cigarette pot with shredded tobacco, he said lightly: "Changsheng, if you and the second vulture tell me the buried treasure, I suspect that you are from the town, and later we have gone through a lot of visits and investigations, and basically confirmed that you are the boy of the Lao Chang family, and you were sent to Baoding City in 35 years, right?" ”
Brought the smoke pot to the oil lamp, sipped the tobacco, took two puffs, Lao Feng continued: "Today is not to interrogate you, you don't have to be nervous, we just want to find out your identity, your parents have been dead for more than four years, and the government has to explain some things to you." ”
"Changsheng, your name is Chang Baoquan, right?"
The agent sat on a stool with a tea bowl and nodded. Lao Feng was about to continue, Section Chief Jin came back after sending the guests, and he had a few more things in his hand, and put them on the table after entering the house.
"Chang Baoquan, these are a few materials, I know that you have studied in Baoding for two years, you can read and write, you can see for yourself!" After Lao Feng finished speaking, he asked Section Chief Jin to hand over a few pieces of paper on the table.
Agent Changsheng took it, held it up to the light that came in through the west window, and carefully looked at it.
There are three pieces of paper in total, the first one is a cashier's list registered in the town office on December 22, 37, which states that it is to buy coffins for the Chang family and the Hu family who were swept and killed by the devils, and the money paid to the owner of the coffin shop is equivalent to a total of 30 yuan in border currency, which is converted into 300 catties of millet.
It has the signature of the town government at that time, the signature and fingerprint of the coffin shop owner who received Xiaomi, and the signatures and fingerprints of several neighbors testifying.
The second piece of paper is a certificate written by the secretary of the town office in April 1938. The content is that he was appointed by the Kawaguchi town government to secretly go to Baoding City to find Chang Baoquan, the son of the Chang family, to inform his family of the murder of the devil, and to inform him to come back to receive the real estate and furniture temporarily kept by the town government.
However, the materials said that with the help of the Baoding underground party, they searched for more than a month, and only learned that Chang Baoquan was an opium smoker and disappeared in the first month of 1938.
The third is a list that records the property registration list of the Chang and Hu families counted by the local government of Chuankou Town in December 1937 after the devil sweep was completed and returned to Yinfang Town.
All three sheets of paper had been left in place for a few years, and the straw paper was originally yellow, but it became more and more old after being damp, and the signatures and handprints on them also changed color.
"Look carefully to see if we forged it. You don't need to find witnesses and materials for you, your parents, your aunt who raised you since childhood, and your honest and honest janitor, how did they all die, now it's clear! ”
After Lao Feng finished speaking, he knocked the cigarette bag and pot clean, rolled it down, and looked at the tearful immortal.
"Chang Baoquan, you can take the initiative to say and hand over the buried treasure, this is very good, at least it is also a meritorious performance. But you help the devil to do things, you help the enemy who killed your whole family, do you have your conscience eaten by dogs, or you don't have a long heart at all! ”
After Hong Mei added such a paragraph, Changsheng finally couldn't help it, squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and cried whining, his shoulders shrugged and his head shrugged, and his snot and tears were dripping all over the ground.
Section Chief Jin relented a little, walked over and patted Changsheng on the shoulder, handed him a coarse cloth handkerchief, and motioned for him to wipe the messy dirt on his face.
"We have also done an investigation, what about you, you have been working hard for the devil for the past few years, that is, to pass on information to the devil, lead the way or something, kill people and set fire to hurt the heavens and reason, I really haven't done it, Dayang and gold ingots can't reduce your responsibility for being a traitor, if you want to live and want to avenge your parents, it depends on your performance, you know the policy of our Eighth Route Army, confess leniency and resist strictly! Don't be obsessed with it anymore! ”
After Lao Feng finished speaking, he rolled a cigarette for Changsheng, asked Section Chief Jin to hand it over, and filled a bowl of water with his feet.
Changsheng leaned over, slowly stood up from the ground, took the cigarette roll and boiled water, bowed his waist, took a sip of water, put down the tea bowl, and lit the cigarette with the help of the fire lit by Section Chief Jin with a wheat straw stick, took two puffs and said: "Government, I understand, what do you want to know, I will say." ”
Lao Feng and Hong Mei glanced at each other, also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of water, and then said with a smile: "Let's talk about what your family did before moving to Kawaguchi Town." ”
A cigarette was almost smoked, Changsheng threw away the cigarette butt, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of water, and used the handkerchief that wiped his nose and tears dirty, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and snuggled on the stool to speak!
Changsheng said that he was born in Hanguguan Town, Lingbao, Henan Province in the tenth year of the Republic of China, and when he remembered, his family opened a big car shop. According to his father, their Chang family was originally from Zhoukou, Henan, and during the great famine, the whole village did not starve to death, and they all went west, wanting to go to Shaanxi to ask for food, and the whole family of 7 went on the road, and his father survived alone.
On the way, she rescued her mother who was about to hang herself, and the woman had died her husband and child. Later, he rescued the Changsheng Niang who escaped from the traffickers, and when he walked to Hangu Pass, he saved the old man who was later the gatekeeper with a crockpot of wild vegetable soup.
There was no way to live, so Changsheng's father and the old janitor threw in the dreadlocks, opened a big car shop in Hangu, and made the eyeliner and tobacco transfer station of the dreadlocks.
Within two years, the immortal father and the immortal mother became relatives, and when the immortal was born, the frail and sickly, thanks to the careful care of the mother and the old janitor, did not die young.
In the 15th year of the Republic of China, after Feng Yuxiang defeated the Zhensong army, the bandits were cleared everywhere, and the silk where Changsheng's house was located was also exterminated.
Changsheng's father had eyeliner in the Northwest Army, got the news early, and led the whole family to take the money that had not yet had time to hand over the locks, and went north to Fengling to cross the Yellow River into Shanxi. After walking around for a few years, he was uneasy to live, and later settled in the town of Kawaguchi in the hinterland of Langya Mountain.
These are all Changsheng his father and his mother intermittently told him, his mother and the old janitor also gave him the previous things, his mother still nagged when no one was around, if he didn't do the business of tobacco, Changsheng would not have been born like a tuberculosis ghost, all of which damaged Yin morality.
As soon as Changsheng said this, the knots in Lao Feng's hearts were also unraveled, and the wall and secret passage in the courtyard of the Chang family, according to the habit of doing bandit eyeliner and tobacco business, were reasonable and reasonable, leaving a way back.
"Are you 35 years old, that is, Baoding in the 24th year of the Republic of China? How did you get involved with the devil? ”
Hong Mei took notes for a long time, and asked without raising her head.
"Report to the government, the time is right, I went to Baoding in the autumn of the 24th year of the Republic of China, my father said that I am in my twenties, I don't do anything at home, and my body is not good how to recuperate, so let my uncle accompany me to Baoding to find a book to read, and by the way, find a doctor to take a good look."
Changsheng swallowed and foamed, rested for a while, and then said: "If you want to say how to give it to the emperor, ah, no, if you do things for the devil, you have to say one person first, this person is called Xu Ziqing, and he is the one who pulled me into the devil's barracks." ”
