While Liang Bida, Chen Mohan and others were fleeing in all directions, Zhang Pujing was living a life of stretching out his hands and eating in a military hospital on the outskirts of City D - his hands could not move, his left arm was paralyzed, and his right wrist was severely fractured.

Zhang Pujing is not dead, but he has become a living dead man, except for himself and Jiang Gubei and a very few other people, no one in this world knows that there is such a former first deputy political commissar of a certain army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in such and such an army hospital. No one alive, no dead body, Zhang Pujing's wife Wang Chenghua and daughter Zhang Yuanyuan, inquired around, but there was no news.

After coming down from the scene of the criticism and fighting that time, Zhang Pujing was "cleared of the wilderness" and hid in a corner of this regiment-level hospital. Initially, he had nine square meters of space and twenty hours of freedom, and four hours of non-freedom—Jiang Gubei had to come in person or send someone to interrogate him almost every day.

Jiang Gubei wanted what he had in his hand.

As early as the Bump Mountain period, Zhang Pujing unrelentingly studied the historical and practical issues of Yang Tinghui, Wang Lantian, Jiang Jiahu, Liang Bida, Dou Yuquan, Jiang Gubei and others. He was active when Sichuan-Shaanxi was in rebellion, in the Soviet region in rectifying the party and in rectifying the style, in the "purity movement," in the "three antis and five antis," in the anti-military dogmatism, and in the "anti-rightist" movement. In a word, as long as there is a call from above, he is active and loyal. At that time, he was the kind of person who drove fast as Dou Yuquan said. Now, however, he refuses to present the results of his research. More than a dozen movements have sprung up one after another, all of them seem to have problems, and those who don't seem to have problems should have problems, but all of them are plausible and cloudy. Just one millimeter short, he couldn't move forward anymore. He has no evidence. As long as they can't produce evidence of their mistakes and crimes, they will still be comrades -- this is Zhang Pujing's style.

However, today, in the vigorous "*****", Zhang Pujing discovered his own problems, and someone actually had his evidence. He finally discovered that a pure Bolshevik was not so easy to behave, and that he did not know much about the Bolsheviks, who did not care about him at all. So he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Comrade Zhang Pujing did something wrong? Could it be that Comrade Zhang Pujing is really a counter-revolutionary? When did Comrade Zhang Pujing become a counterrevolutionary?

The answer was not long in coming.

During the initial interrogation, Jiang Gubei told him this: Zhang Pujing, you are a historical counter-revolutionary who has infiltrated the party and the army, and you are an enemy of the proletariat. During the suppression of the rebellion, you carried out the wrong line of so-and-so and went all out to extort confessions in the troops, resulting in many Red Army cadres being beaten into tricks and unjustly killed. One of the crimes of this counter-revolution. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, you discussed that so-and-so weakened the command of so-and-so by improper means, and that there was insufficient evidence for so-and-so to have a problem. This counter-revolutionary crime is the second. When the party is rectified, you do not fire at the erroneous ideas within the party, but you point the spearhead at a certain leader, who is now a leader at such and such a level. This counter-revolutionary crime is the third. In the Bump Mountain base area, especially after Li Wenbin was captured, you have arranged special "protection" personnel around almost every cadre at and above the regimental level to monitor your comrades. This counter-revolutionary crime is the fourth. After the liberation of the whole country, he teamed up with Chen Mohan, Liang Bida and others to launch a rampant attack on the party on the issue of Japanese war reparations. This counter-revolutionary crime is the fifth. In 1959, he said that XX was worried about the country and the people, and should not be treated like that, and complained about XX and Yang Tinghui. This counter-revolutionary crime is the sixth. In such and such a year, it is simply brazen to say that there is no need to create such a big momentum for the whole country to study such and such and such and that the troops should still focus their main energy on preparing for war. The seventh ...... of this counter-revolutionary crime There are also counter-revolutionary crimes, nine out of ten, and so on and so forth.

Zhang Pujing was like a thunderbolt at that moment. When he looked at Jiang Gubei again, he found that he did not know this revolutionary who had lost his military status and put on his military uniform again, and only this person named Jiang Gubei was undoubtedly a revolutionary, and he Zhang Pujing turned out to be such a person, an enemy of the people who was attacking the party and attacking his comrades all the time. He couldn't defend and fight. The crimes or facts listed in the Jiang Gu Monument, those words or behaviors do exist in him, but they ...... However, it is precisely because of the need to defend the purity of the revolution, to respond to the call of the Party, and to meet the needs of the revolutionary cause. But...... Now that I think about it, what are those words and deeds that are not counter-revolutionary?

Overnight, Zhang Pujing became a counter-revolutionary of both history and reality.

"Zhang Pujing, don't pretend anymore, you are a historical counter-revolutionary and an active counter-revolutionary. It's time for your show to come to an end. The party's policy is to be lenient in confession and strict in resistance; The first evil must be done, and the threat will never be asked. I'll give you another chance, as long as you fight back and hand over the materials you have mastered that Wang Lantian, Liang Bida, and Jiang Jiahu secretly traded with Liu Hanying and traitors in Bump Mountain, you can make up for your crimes, you can restore your freedom, you can improve your medical conditions, and at least you can ensure the safety of your life. ”

Yes, he once investigated the materials of Wang Lantian, Liang Bida and others secretly sending Qiu Bo and trading with traitors with Liu Hanying, but he didn't get real evidence after all. What do you want these materials for? He has no opinion on defeating Wang Lantian and Liang Bida, as long as the evidence is conclusive. However, he could not hand over his personal speculation and subjective assumptions to Jiang Gubei as evidence.

No, never.

During dozens of interrogations and tortures, Zhang Pujing did not say a word. He had his glasses, wrist, strap, fingers, and nose bone broken, his stomach bleeding, blurred vision, deafness in one ear, and one arm that could no longer move.

However, he did not die.

With Wang Lantian, Liang Bida, Jiang Jiahu and Chen Mohan and others being dismissed from other places one after another, with the treatment of some people, and with the further development of the movement, Jiang Gubei had a more important goal, and it was no longer possible and unnecessary to "visit" him regularly, but handed him over to the local rebel organization, and from then on he began to live as a prisoner who was not a prisoner.

Jiang Gubei and his superiors knew that this person could not be killed easily, and of course he could not be let go casually, and he Zhang Pujing had become a problem for the revolution again, so they had to continue to secretly imprison him here, waiting to come in handy.

Later, Zhang Pujing not only had nine square meters of space freedom, but also almost 24 hours of time freedom. The treatment he enjoyed could not be said to be insignificant, some people brought food and fed him, some people carried urine buckets, some people read him newspaper leaflets, and some people recorded his dictated "memoirs". When there is sunshine, he chases the sun, and when there is no sunshine, he faces the wall.

Finally, one day, his "guard" noticed that his gaze was straight, and his words were full of sick sentences, incoherent, and incoherent. The "guards" reported this strange discovery to Jiang Gubei, and Jiang Gubei sent a doctor to take a look, and this person was crazy.
