"This way!"

When the two came to the courtyard, Li Jiangong pointed to the parking lot on the right with a kettle, and pulled Zheng Zhendong's arm to a dilapidated jeep.

Li Jiangong first took out a crank from the car, opened the front cover of the jeep, opened the lid of the water tank, and then lifted the kettle and poured hot water into the water tank.

After filling the water tank and screwing the lid of the water tank, Li Jiangong picked up the crank and inserted it into the starting hole in the front of the car, and started the car with a few gentle shakes.

"Don't get in the car!"

After returning from the kettle, Li Jiangong covered the front cover of the car, turned his head and sat in the car, and then shouted loudly to Zheng Zhendong, who was looking at the jeep.

After Zheng Zhendong got into the car, Li Jiangong drove away in a jeep.

This is the first time Zheng Zhendong has taken this kind of jeep, not to mention the air leaking everywhere, and the seats in the car are still hard.

Coupled with a strong smell of engine oil, this made Zheng Zhendong's experience not so good.

"Uncle Li, how long will it take for us to arrive?"

Zheng Zhendong sat in the passenger seat, looked at Li Jiangong with a serious face, and couldn't help but ask loudly.

Li Jiangong thought for a moment, turned his head and replied loudly: "About three hours!" ”

The noise of the car was so loud that the two had to speak loudly.

As a result, the two lost the interest in talking, and became silent along the way.

……

107 Laogai Farm.

From afar, Zheng Zhendong saw the sign at the door, as well as the brand-new wall, the cold iron gate.

When the car drove to the door, Li Jiangong stopped and honked the horn, then took out his work card from his pocket and handed it to the guard at the sentry box.

The doorman took the work card and looked at it, and then returned it to Li Jiangong.

Then the doorman opened the iron gate and let the jeep in.

Zheng Zhendong sat in a jeep and stopped in front of a small two-story building.

In the small flower bed in front of the small building, a few plum trees are blooming alone in the cold wind, as if telling its indomitability and tenacity.

"Sit a few more times and get used to it!"

After getting out of the car, Zheng Zhendong stomped his feet on the snow hard, not like stepping on the clouds when he first came down.

When Li Jiangong saw this scene, he shook his head and said very intimately.

"Forget it, I'll ride a bicycle in the future!"

Zheng Zhendong shook his head, replied with palpitations, and then turned his head to look at Li Jiangong.

"Lao Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's been good lately, right?"

Just as the two were talking, a middle-aged man quickly stepped out of the small building, stepped forward and grabbed Li Jiangong's hand.

"I'm fine, you're okay too? Lao Yao, come, let me introduce to you, this is Zheng Zhendong, Yao Guangyi, deputy captain of 107 Farm, you call him Uncle Yao! ”

After Li Jiangong's introduction, the three of them walked into the small building together.

After coming to an office, Yao Guangyi made tea, poured water, took cigarettes, and hurriedly greeted him warmly.

"Lao Li, is there anything wrong with you coming today?"

After finishing speaking, Yao Guangyi glanced at Zheng Zhendong who was sitting on the sofa from time to time.

But I thought to myself: What is the origin of this kid? Why did you come with Lao Li? It seems that there is something to do, otherwise this is a labor camp after all, who is idle and has nothing to do to run to this place.

Just when Yao Guangyi looked at Zheng Zhendong, Zheng Zhendong also looked at him.

The two of them noticed that the other was looking at themselves at the same time, so they looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

"Uncle Yao, we came here today to ask for something, and please make it convenient." Zheng Zhendong said with a smile.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yao Guangyi was puzzled.

I know that you have something to do, otherwise who will come back to this kind of place where birds don't.

It's hard to come here to see the snow and enjoy the scenery.

"Uncle Yao, I want to see a prisoner, his name is Zhang Jinwang, he was originally the deputy director of our street office, and later came in because of corruption, but as far as I know, there is another secret in this matter, do you see if you can make it convenient?"

Zheng Zhendong finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Yao Guangyi with expectant eyes.

"This can't be done, how can the prisoners here be seen by you?"

As soon as Zheng Zhendong's words were finished, Yao Guangyi hurriedly shook his head and refused.

"Old Yao, give it, you take a look at this first, and then talk!" Li Jiangong took out a letter of introduction from his pocket, "Smack!" It slammed on the table.

"Huh?"

Yao Guangyi glanced at Li Jiangong suspiciously, then picked up the letter of introduction from the table and read it.

I saw the letter of introduction read:

Introductory Letter 0

Size

Chadian 107 Labor Reform Farm, I would like to introduce Comrade Li Jiangong and two others from our unit to your office to contact Zhang Jinwang, a prisoner in re-education through labor, and I would like to ask you to contact and provide assistance.

Sincerely

Official seal: Beijing City Industrial Security Bureau Corps

(Valid for 3 days)

January 21, 1955

After reading the letter of introduction, Yao Guangyi said: "You sit down first, and I'll go and bring people over." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Lao Yao!" Li Jiangong stood up and patted Yao Guangyi on the shoulder.

"What's polite, this is official business, okay, you sit first, I'll go and go back."

After Yao Guangyi finished speaking, he quickly opened the door and walked out.

"Uncle Li, I'm sorry for today's matter, thank you."

When Li Jiangong heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Zheng Zhendong with a smile.

"The captain asked me to accompany you, you don't have to be polite to me, if you want to thank him, you can thank him."

Zheng Zhendong laughed when he heard this.

"Hehe, my Uncle Zhang wants to thank you, and you Uncle Li also want to thank you, thank you all."

Li Jiangong just nodded after hearing this, and did not say anything more.

"Uncle Li, did you know Uncle Yao before?"

Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but be curious, and couldn't help but inquire.

"Well, I was in the same army with him, and then we changed jobs together, and he came to the labor camp, and I went to the Industrial Security Bureau."

Li Jiangong introduced it lightly, and there was no fluctuation on his face.

Zheng Zhendong nodded after hearing this.

He was quite interested in this matter, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to ask.

"Uncle Li, which unit were you in before? And how did you and my Uncle Zhang meet? ”

Li Jiangong recalled for a moment and said: "Lao Yao and I are both the Third Column and Seventh Brigade of Zhongye, as for me and your Uncle Zhang, we met at the Huangni Police Academy. ”

"Huangni Police Academy? What is this place? I haven't heard of it. Zheng Zhendong was even more curious now, and hurriedly asked Li Jiangong.

"It was the summer of 1948, Minister Li of the Social Department of our army asked 100 cadres at or above the county and regimental level to be selected from all over the country, and rushed to Baipo to receive training in industrial safety.

Li Jiangong saw that Zheng Zhendong was curious, so he introduced him.

"Oh, that's what happened, Uncle Li, if you don't say it, I really don't know this place!"

Zheng Zhendong nodded after hearing this, and then looked towards the door.

"Don't worry, how can it be so fast, the prisoners have gone out to work at this point, let's wait a while."

Li Jiangong saw that Zheng Zhendong was anxious, and couldn't help but appease.

After hearing this, Zheng Zhendong stood up and moved his stiff body.

Then he opened the window and looked into the courtyard, and saw that the roof outside was covered with snow, and the snow shimmered silver in the sun.

At this time, a cold and biting cold wind blew on Zheng Zhendong's face.

Blown by the cold wind, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly closed the window again.

"Sit down and drink some hot water to warm up."

Li Jiangong patted the sofa next to him and said to Zheng Zhendong with a smile.

"Okay, Uncle Li."

Zheng Zhendong happily agreed, then hurriedly sat on the sofa, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water to warm up.

……

"Let's go inside, this is it."

Yao Guangyi's voice came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open.

Zheng Zhendong raised his head and saw a middle-aged man with gray hair and a rickety body standing behind Yao Guangyi.

"Lao Li, this is the Zhang Jinwang you want, you talk, I'll go out first."

Yao Guangyi stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhang Jinwang behind him to introduce it, then nodded to Li Jiangong and Zheng Zhendong, and walked out of the door again.

"Report to the government, prisoner Zhang Jinwang came to report."

Zhang Jinwang looked at Zheng Zhendong and Li Jiangong sitting on the sofa, and immediately stood up straight, and then shouted loudly.

"Dongzi, you ask, I'll go to Lao Yao to catch up with the past."

Li Jiangong saw that Zhang Jinwang had arrived, so he stood up and said to Zheng Zhendong.

"Okay, Uncle Li, you go, don't worry about me!" Zheng Zhendong quickly stood up and watched Li Jiangong walk out of the office.

"Zhang Jinwang, sit down, let's talk, don't be so restrained."

After Zheng Zhendong sat down, he smiled and pointed to the sofa next to Zhang Jinwang.

"Government, if you have something to ask, I'll just stand."

Zhang Jinwang bowed down, smiling, and rejected Zheng Zhendong's proposal to make him.

"Huh? If I let you sit down, you can sit down, where is all this nonsense? ”

Seeing that Zhang Jinwang refused to sit, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help frowning and scolded softly.

"I'll sit, I'll sit!" Zhang Jinwang saw that Zheng Zhendong was angry, and immediately cautiously walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Wang Huanzhang, do you know you?"

Zheng Zhendong looked at Zhang Jinwang, who looked cautious, and asked.

"I know each other, I don't know what the government is asking him to do?"

Zhang Jinwang was obviously stunned when he heard this name, and then raised his head and looked at Zheng Zhendong with suspicion.

"It's good to know, I'm afraid you don't know each other."

Zheng Zhendong glanced at Zhang Jinwang and continued.

"I also know Zhou Chenggang, and he asked me to bring it to you."

Zhang Jinwang heard Zheng Zhendong mention Zhou Chenggang, and his face immediately showed a complicated expression, and finally smiled bitterly.

"What? You don't have anything to say? ”

Zheng Zhendong saw that Zhang Jinwang didn't say a word, so he couldn't help it.

Zhang Jinwang raised his head and suddenly said, "What do you want to know?" ”

"I heard Brother Zhou say that you obviously didn't embezzle, but after listening to what Wang Huanzhang said, you confessed your guilt."

Zheng Zhendong said this, paused for a moment, and then continued to ask.

"I want to hear what the man surnamed Wang told you?"

Zhang Jinwang first sighed, and then said lightly.

"He didn't say anything to me, I did sin,

Don't ask again, I won't say if you ask again. ”

Zheng Zhendong saw that Zhang Jinwang refused to speak, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, thought about it, and said earnestly.

"Lao Zhang, since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask, let's talk about something else.

Who else is in your family? Are parents, wives and children all right? Have I ever come to see you? ”

Hearing Zheng Zhendong suddenly ask about the situation at home, Zhang Jinwang's expression suddenly became complicated.

I saw that he was silent at first, then he held his head with both hands, and after a while, he actually cried bitterly.

"Lao Zhang, good and decent, why are you crying?" Zheng Zhendong was a little puzzled.

Poof.

Zhang Jinwang actually knelt down in front of Zheng Zhendong.

Zheng Zhendong looked at Zhang Jinwang, who suddenly knelt down, and was startled by him.

"What are you doing, get me up quickly."

As Zheng Zhendong spoke, he stepped forward to pull Zhang Jinwang up.

Zhang Jinwang stubbornly knelt on the ground, refusing to get up.

Zheng Zhendong saw that Zhang Jinwang couldn't get up, so he immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

With a slight force in his hand, he lifted Zhang Jinwang and pressed him back to the sofa directly.

"Lao Zhang, you said that you, you are a lot older, kneel me a little young, are you not afraid of breaking my life?"

Zheng Zhendong pressed his hand on Zhang Jinwang, who was still struggling, and asked angrily.

"This government, I want to ask you for your help, come and take a look at my house, and I will tell you anything if I can bring it back."

After Zhang Jinwang finished speaking, he was about to get up and kowtow to Zheng Zhendong again.

"Don't move, be honest!"

Zheng Zhendong saw that Zhang Jinwang was about to get up, and he couldn't help but press his body hard.

"Why did you let me go to your house, who do I see? Is there something going on at home? ”

Zheng Zhendong looked at the emotional Zhang Jinwang and didn't understand the meaning of his words.

"I want you to see how your mother and children are doing, don't worry, as long as you can bring back their news, I will tell you everything you want to know."

Hearing this, Zheng Zhendong was silent for a moment and asked, "Where is your home?" ”

"My family lives in No. 18 Courtyard of Black Sesame Hutong, and my family lives in the backyard, you will know my name as soon as you arrive." Seeing Zheng Zhendong asking for the address, Zhang Jinwang immediately spoke.

"Okay, I know, but let's talk about it, I'll go to your house to see the situation, come back and tell you, you can tell me the secret between you and Wang Huanzhang, if you dare to lie to me, hum!"

Zheng Zhendong said as he spoke, his tone became cold.

"Don't worry, this government, I will never lie to you, as long as you tell me about my family's situation, I will definitely tell the truth, and I will never hide anything."

Zhang Jinwang raised his head and looked at Zheng Zhendong with a firm gaze, as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay, then that's it, you sit here for a while, and I'll call Uncle Yao and them back."

Zheng Zhendong stood up straight and walked towards the door, and after going out, he thought about it, and then hung the lock at the door, and then went to find Li Jiangong and Yao Guangyi.
