CHAPTER XIX. 1
As soon as Lu Zilin walked into the small courtyard of the security center, the husband who grabbed the medicine in the Bailu Chinese Medicine Hall followed up and said: "Sir, please go over and have something to say, don't delay." Lu Zilin was thinking about how to explain to Mr. Leng on the street walking to the Chinese medicine hall how to buy and demolish the Bai family's gatehouse, apart from this incident, he couldn't think of any other important things that would prompt Mr. Leng to call him early in the morning. Walking into the Chinese medicine hall, Mr. Leng led him to the back bedroom, and when he spoke, he looked panicked: "Do you know? Zhaopeng made an appointment with Mr. Tian to arrest him!" Lu Zilin was shocked: "Who did you listen to?" When did this happen? I don't know!" Mr. Leng said: "As soon as I got up early and opened the door, a patient in Nanyuan came and said that he was caught in the school last night. Lu Zilin was surprised: "He is still in the original?" Oh my God! Wanted notices are posted all over the plains, and he hasn't left the original ...... yet" Mr. Leng said: "I heard that he just returned to the plains from the city and wanted to incite the hungry people to make trouble, but I didn't expect that one of his ** brothers told Mr. Tian to make an appointment." I didn't say it carefully when I asked the people next to me, but it was a real thing, and Mr. Tian was escorted to the county overnight...... What do you say?" Lu Zilin said: "You deserve it!" Die! Cure this son of evil, I'm a good talker!" Mr. Leng said, "You are talking angrily. At my age, how many things do you have to say and how many people have to live? There aren't many left; You and I are now living sons and daughters!" Lu Zilin coughed and burst into tears, and said silently: "My family's good life is all bad for this turtle grandson." He participated in the ** to teach me to follow the back and bring disaster, and don't talk about it, just marriage...... I always feel sorry for your brother! I'm not talking angry, I'm telling the truth, it's good to treat his turtle grandson! Cangli County no longer suspects about my Lu Zilin's affairs; The affairs of the family are also easy to handle, let the family remarry in a proper name, won't I be a good person to talk in front of your brother?" Mr. Leng said, "I didn't call you here today to say this. I know you can't say anything if you want to save him. Lu Zilin still insisted: "I won't save it." Mr. Leng said, "If you don't save me, I'll save you." My son-in-law!" Lu Zilin said: "You save it in vain." He took Mr. Tian to the guillotine, you know, Tian can spare him? The above is now right ** is 'I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one'. He's finished, his Zhaopeng Turtle Sun is finished this time! You are also tired, and the god of vain labor is worth the money...... "Mr. Leng said: "I am ready to go bankrupt, as long as I can save my son-in-law!" Lu Zilin hurriedly picked up and said, "If you really save him, he won't dare to screw it anymore." He also understands that you have taken his life. Mr. Leng said: "You pay attention today, and you will tell me as soon as Mr. Tian comes back." Without further ado. I heard that the ** is now a quick knife to cut through the mess, and the well will be filled without trial!"
The National Revolutionary Government in power in Xi'an was simple and straightforward about the means of rectification, did not conduct serious interrogations, did not show disdain, and rarely publicly paraded the streets, and rarely shot in public. Lu Zilin pretended to be casual and went to Bailucang three times a day, and it was not until late evening that he saw Tian Fuxian riding back from the county, he rushed in front of Tian Fuxian and said, "I have heard about it." Catching that turtle grandson is not only harmful to the country, but also a thorn in my eye! The general township knows my temperament, I don't care about the four buns I usually have two pairs now. Tian Fuxian said more humanely: "Besides, it's always your son!" If he is a ** little hairy monkey element, it will be easy to do it, let him write a book of repentance and self-reform, and I will intercede with Secretary Yue; You know that he is a major criminal, don't say I, Secretary Yue didn't dare to deal with it without authorization, and he was sent directly to the city after only a fight in the county......" Lu Zilin confessed that Yu Zhaopeng was arrested and even killed and ignored it, but when he came back, he hurriedly told Mr. Leng: "Mr. Tian is back." ”
Mr. Leng immediately implemented a strategy to rescue his son-in-law Zhao Peng. He instructed Lu Zilin to go home and put the cart in place, and together with Xianggong, he carried ten sacks full of Chinese herbs onto the cart, claiming that he would send these backlogged medicinal materials to the city to sell. He dismissed Liu Mou'er and asked Lu Zilin to personally whip the car. He instructed Lu Zilin to make a detour and walk through the gate of Bailucang: "Zilin, you go and call Mr. Tian for an appointment, his woman is sick, let him go with me all the way, and give his woman a doctor on the way." Tian Fuxian hurriedly ran out of the warehouse door, climbed into the car with conviction, and asked him again and again if it mattered if the woman was sick. Mr. Leng was as concise as usual: "I got up early in the morning when one of your relatives came to call me, I couldn't get out of the way, I asked about my condition, grabbed two pills and took them away." You don't have to ask, I can't say if you ask too much, let's stop by and have a look, I'll also go to the city to deliver medicine!" The green mule pulled the cart and creaked on the official road in the countryside, until it reached a stop under a tall gatehouse, and Mr. Leng yawned and got out of the car.
Entering the courtyard of the Tian family's deep house, Tian Fuxian asked the sleepy woman inexplicably, and he asked Mr. Leng inexplicably: "The inner man is not sick!" Didn't you let anyone invite the gentleman?" Mr. Leng said, "I have deceived people again." The man pretended to be a relative of the general township covenant and tricked me into taking two pills...... It's a trivial matter, ......" said and walked out the door, Lu Zilin got out from under the big wheel and said dejectedly: "Oh no, no, no! The axle is bumped and I can't walk!" So, ten tightly tied sacks were unloaded from the car and sent into the house, Tian Fuxian said cheerfully: "Tomorrow let the car carpenter change the axle." It's good, it's good! It's rare for our brothers to get together for a drink. After three rounds of drinking, Mr. Leng untied the sacks piled up on the steps, and then held the lampstand to let Tian Fuxian see his "treasure medicine". Tian Fuxian looked at the sack and stared, Lu Zilin was so shocked that he almost cried out, the sack disguised as a medicine bag was wrapped in a bunch of hard oceans, and none of the ten sacks was empty. Tian Fuxian said, "Sir, what are you doing?" turned around and scolded Lu Zilin sharply, "If you do this trick, you have to be guilty of the same crime as Zhaopeng!" Lu Zilin's face was as frightened as yellow: "Brother Tian, I really don't know what medicine is in Mr. ......'s gourd" Mr. Leng said: "You want to release people." I saved Zhaopeng and only recognized him as my son-in-law. My woman has been the wind from the beginning. I can't force you to find a way anymore. Tian Fuxian hurriedly spread his hands: "Okay, my husband, brother!" You're forcing your brother to jump Huashan!" Mr. Leng said, "You have to think of a way. You can figure it out. I know you have a way to think about it. Tian Fuxian smiled bitterly and said: "I am a little Bailu Cang Township Covenant, not just a stinky lice that occupies a crack!" I can have a fart!" Mr. Leng said: "There's really no way, forget it!" This idea is thrown at you, and we have to come and drink sometime now. Tian Fuxian insisted: "You put the sack bag tightly on the car and pull it back, I will try my best to find a way; If you don't take me away, I don't care!" Mr. Leng said: "I have never done a second turn in my life. ”
After getting back on the road and driving out of the village, Lu Zilin sighed loudly: "Ahhh You should have shown me a good idea beforehand! Scared me...... Sir, how many hard oceans are in the sack?" Mr. Leng sat in the carriage and said lightly, "I don't have any points." I never counted money. All the goods saved in the past few years have come out. Let Mr. Tian go slowly. Lu Zilin sighed: "I'm afraid your ten sack silver dollars won't ring!" Mr. Leng said: "It doesn't matter if it rings or not, I don't care about it anyway." ”
Tian Fuxian vacated the silver dollars in the sack that night and buried them under the thick toon tree at the root of the west wall in the courtyard. He didn't count them, but poured the silver dollars into the pit under the toon tree with a bamboo basket like a stone and rubble, and the counting was no longer very interesting. He then stayed in the house of Nishihara's former residence for three days, refusing all the new and old friends who came to greet him, saying only that he was too tired to do business outside and needed to rest at home for a few days. On the morning of the fourth day, he rode back to Bailucang, and later convened a joint meeting of nine security offices and influential leaders in some large villages, and put forward a motion: "Ask the provincial government to escort **Lu Zhaopeng back to Bailuyuan Zhengfa." There was a unanimous response from the attendees. Tian Fuxian rode into the provincial capital the next day, broke into this organ and ran to that yamen, and resigned firmly, stating the legitimate and strong demands of tens of thousands of villagers in Bailuyuan, and escorting the ** Lu who bred on Bailuyuan and made trouble on Bailuyuan back to the original place to correct the law; Three days later, a petition group of more than 30 villagers, led by He Yaozu, knelt down in front of the provincial government, declaring that if they did not agree to their demands, they would kneel forever and never get up; Yue Weishan, secretary of the Zishui County Party Department of the Kuomintang, was recalled to the city by the provincial party department, and he not only did not persuade the villagers to retreat, but also persuaded the provincial party department to seriously consider the villagers' demands...... Lu Zhaopeng was escorted back to Bailu.
The killing site was selected to the west of the Tuda fence of the county Bailu Town Junior Primary School, five feet away from the earthen wall, a row of seven deep pits were dug, seven people were tied up facing the wall, the most conspicuous was Lu Zhaopeng, the only one in a brown robe, he knelt in the middle, and the other six were declared to be murder and robbery bandits and thieves blocking the road. It is very clear that this school is the old nest of Lu Zhaopeng who instigated the ** revolution in the original place to show deterrence. Carrying out the criminal law were the regimental members of Bailucang, who had been given the opportunity to be in the limelight for the first time since their formation, and stood in a particularly powerful row. As the gunshots rang out, a cloud of blue smoke rose from the walls, and seven men were killed without a single snort, their upper and lower lips strung together with wire. Although the lithographed murder notices were posted in the streets of every village, they still did not arouse the enthusiasm and curiosity of the villagers, and hunger also diluted the thrilling murder scene into indifference with its unrivalled authority.
Lu Zhaopeng has been transferred to the White Deer Academy. Tian Fuxian played a substitution trick. Before Lu Zhaopeng was released and returned to his original place, Tian Fuxian brought back six death row prisoners from the county prison, saying that it was to make a strong noise, but in fact, it was for the sake of confusion. On the night of Lu Zhaopeng's return to Bailucang, he lay in the hut that was temporarily used as a prison cell for less than an hour, and then he was quietly carried onto the mule cart that his father had personally driven, and the ghost who replaced him was forced to change into his robes. Mr. Leng's old trick was repeated, and ten sacks of medicinal herbs were piled up on the cart, but instead of loading silver dollars, they covered up a prisoner on death row. They drove the car to the head of the original slope and helped Zhaopeng into the White Deer Academy. After Mr. Zhu took the person, he said, "Let's go!" Don't come again. ”
Lu Zhaopeng hid in Bailu Academy and slept for three days, and he was exhausted after taking turns to interrogate, and all kinds of new criminal laws of the Republic of China made him incomplete, and he slept for three days and three nights before he eased his spirits, and the amount of food increased suddenly. His wife, Zhu Baishi, gave him careful care, got up early with a bowl of egg custard, changed pasta at noon, and boiled red bean millet porridge at night, and he quickly recuperated to a warm complexion.
Before he came, Mr. Zhu was assigned by the county government to do relief for the victims, and he came back to the academy every once in a while, and when he came back, he only asked about his physical recovery and left, without the slightest intention of chatting with him. That night, Mr. Zhu came back, he went into his bedroom to say goodbye, and also expressed his gratitude to the gentle and kind wife, he saw Mr. and Mrs. drinking a bowl of black paste under the dim oil lamp, by the smell can distinguish the bitterness of the black beans, the hidden words of gratitude in his heart can not be spoken. Lu Zhaopeng sat down silently: "I'm leaving." The lady said, "Can you walk?" Mr. Zhu did not speak, stirring the black bean grits in the bowl with chopsticks. Zhao Peng made a light joke and asked: "Sir, could you please do a hexagram and predict what the future outcome of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will be?" Mr. Zhu smiled: "Who can win between the buckwheat noodle seller and the dumpling seller?" The two come from the same thing!" Zhaopeng wanted to make a statement, but Mr. Zhu actually said to himself: "I think that the 'Three People's Principles' and '**' are similar, one advocates 'the world is for the public', and the other is prosperous', since both of them are for the purpose of saving the country and helping the people, isn't it 'the world for the public'?" Why can't they get together but kill each other? The battle between the public character and the common character is nothing more than an independent dictionary, and the battle between selling buckwheat noodles and selling dumplings is nothing more than an exclusive bazaar! In this case, I don't pay much attention to the 'ending'......" Lu Zhaopeng couldn't help but feel heartbroken: "It is they who undermine the ...... of the cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party" Mr. Zhu said: "It's just a 'dispute between in-laws'." Lu Zhaopeng changed the topic and said the question that had been in his heart: "I didn't expect my father and Mr. Leng to save me, how could Tian Fuxian let me go?" I want to see them......" Mr. Zhu said, "They don't want to see you, they just bring you two sentences, change your name and leave Xi'an, otherwise all the people who saved you will not live." Lu Zhaopeng said: "I don't need them to tell me to do this, I can't get a foothold in Xi'an." Anything else?" Mr. Zhu said: "Tian Fuxian asked Mr. Leng to ask you a question: If you really gain power in the future, can you still tolerate him?" Lu Zhaopeng couldn't help but be stunned, relieved himself and said, "Let him live well." If I live long as he says, I must show him that we are more upright than they are!" Mr. Zhu said: "The sentence that Mr. Leng himself left you is purely a family matter: give a woman a doll. Give a baby, his woman can live in your house, and he himself can support a human face in Bailu Town......" Lu Zhaopeng sat down softly, holding his head with both hands: "Oh my God! It's better to let Tian Fuxian kill me!" Mr. Zhu said, "Why did you become so narrow-minded and small-minded again?" Lu Zhaopeng stood up suddenly: "I can spare my life, but I can't afford to save their lives...... Sir, I'm leaving, do you have something to say to me?" Mr. Zhu smiled indifferently: "I just look forward to a rainy ......"
