Chapter 35: The Qin Family Disappears
"Comrade Chen Duxiu, your current ideas are very dangerous!" Zhou Enlai said sadly: "Aren't the things Chiang Kai-shek did in Jiujiang and Anhui enough to arouse our vigilance?! Is it really necessary to wait until Chiang Kai-shek raises the butcher's knife and kills you and me?
Are you alert only after cutting off his head?! By that time, it’s really too late!”
Chen Duxiu said calmly: "Enlai, everything must be based on evidence. The news coming from Jiujiang and Anhui, those things were just done by local ruffians. What evidence do you have to prove that they were all ordered by Chiang Kai-shek?! I
It seems that you are a little unfounded!"
"Am I so worried?!" Zhou Enlai was out of breath and walked back and forth in the office twice. Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the office door. Zhou Enlai opened the door and saw a middle-aged man wearing a rickshaw driver's clothes.
The young man walked in and said: "Mr. Zhou, Wang Boling, Yang Hu and Chen Qun arrived in Shanghai secretly and appeared at the mansion of Shanghai's three intelligence giants Huang Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin and Du Yuesheng. It is not clear what they sighed specifically.
.”
Zhou Enlai didn't even frown and said, "Thank you, keep watching. If you have any news, tell me immediately."
"Okay!" the rickshaw driver responded and walked out of the office.
"The current situation is very unfavorable to us!" Zhou Enlai closed the door and sighed, saying with a low expression.
Chen Duxiu sneered, stood up from the sofa, and said, "I still stick to my own opinion."
Seeing Chen Duxiu's leaving figure, Zhou Enlai was heartbroken. After much hesitation, Zhou Enlai began to arrange for personnel to evacuate Shanghai to avoid Chiang Kai-shek's butcher knife.
Just when the Communist Party members in Shanghai began to evacuate in an orderly manner, and the National Revolutionary Fourth Army and the Eleventh Army in Wuhan were preparing to go east to put pressure on Chiang Kai-shek and force him to compromise, on April 5th, "Wang Jingwei"
, Chen Duxiu Joint Declaration" was released. Some Communist Party members were very angry, but many people mistakenly thought that the situation had eased.
However, the good times did not last long. On April 11, Chiang Kai-shek issued a secret order that "the recovered provinces should unanimously implement the purge of the Party." The situation in Shanghai changed suddenly.
In the early morning of April 12, a signal was raised over the warship parked at the Gaochang Temple in Shanghai. The thugs from the Qinghong Gang who were already prepared, wearing white cloth and black armbands with the word "work" on their arms, pretending to be workers, rushed out of the concession separately.
, attacked workers’ pickets in 14 locations including Zhabei, Nanshi, Huxi, Wusong, and Pudong.…
"Master, there's chaos outside." Lin Quannan ran in from the outside panting. Lin Aofeng hesitated for a while and said: "Uncle Nan, send the gun down and let the workers be alert. I'll go out first, soon.
return!"
"Young Master..." Before Lin Quannan could finish his words, Lin Aofeng had already ran out of the mansion.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong dong"
Qin Keqing's mother heard a knock on the door and asked urgently before she could open the door. A group of gangsters armed with sticks and rough faces rushed in.
"Zi Chen!" The gangster rushed into the yard. Before he could take action, Qin Keqing's mother ran to her husband. Qin Guozhong patted his wife's hand, comforted her, and at the same time asked the people who rushed in: "You guys
Who is he?! What do you want to do?!"
The leader with a scar on his face tilted his head and looked at Qin Guozhong and said angrily: "Old man, you don't have to worry about who we are! Who told you that you should not be ordinary people, but you want to be a Communist Party?
Today is a good day for your family, come with me!" Then Scarface winked at the men behind him and said, "Brothers, take them away!"
"How dare you!" Qin Guozhong pulled out the pistol given to him by Lin Aofeng. Scarface was stunned and said with a smile: "Ouch?! You damn old man! I really underestimated you!" After saying that, Scarface tore open the knife.
He took off his clothes, patted his chest and said, "If you have the guts, hit me here! If I frown, I'm not the one who was raised by my parents!"
Qin Guozhong was a scholar after all, and the hand holding the gun began to tremble. When Scarface saw Qin Guozhong hesitated and was about to rush forward to grab the gun, Qin Keqing came out from behind, waved his hand and shot Scarface. Standing in the yard
Scarface's men saw Scarface fell to the ground after being shot and were about to run out, when gunshots rang out again.
After killing the gangsters who rushed in, Qin Keqing said to his mother: "Mom! Go clean up quickly, let's go to Afeng's house to take shelter!"
"Oh!" Qin Keqing's mother finally came to her senses and ran into the house.
Just when Qin Keqing's mother was busy cleaning up, Zhou Enlai came over with his people. Zhou Enlai saw the body lying in the yard and ran in quickly. When he saw Qin Guozhong sitting in the living room shivering, he asked: "Zichen
Brother, are you okay?!"
"It's okay!" Qin Guozhong came back to his senses and asked: "Enlai, Shanghai is so dangerous now, why don't you leave?!"
"It doesn't matter! Mr. Jiang can't deal with me yet!" Zhou Enlai said when he saw Qin Keqing's mother and daughter coming down from upstairs and asked: "Have everything been packed?!"
Qin Keqing asked: "Uncle Zhou, where are you taking us?!"
"Leave Shanghai first, and then send you to Hong Kong!" Zhou Enlai raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said, "Time is running out, you'd better come with me quickly!"
Qin Keqing hesitated for a moment and said, "I still have something to take! I'll be down soon!"
"Then hurry up!" Hearing Zhou Enlai's instructions, Qin Keqing had already ran into his room. Opening the desk, Qin Keqing picked up the photo album and diary and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped, thought for a while, and returned
At the desk, he took out a pen and paper and left a letter for Lin Aofeng...
Qin Keqing's family followed Zhou Enlai and left for about an hour before Lin Aofeng arrived. Seeing the corpse lying in the yard, Lin Aofeng felt anxious and hurriedly took out his pistol and walked in carefully. He checked the house to make sure there were no other corpses.
Lin Aofeng put away his gun and walked into Qin Keqing's room.
Looking at the furnishings in the room, Lin Aofeng walked to Qin Keqing's desk. When he saw the letter lying on the table, Lin Aofeng frowned tightly. When he opened the letter, Qin Keqing's slim golden body came into Lin Aofeng's eyes.
: "Dear Feng, due to time constraints, I don't have time to say goodbye to you! Our whole family has left with Uncle Zhou and will come back when peace comes. You wait for me! I love you, Keqing!"
After reading the letter, Lin Aofeng sighed deeply and put the letter into his jacket pocket. When he was about to leave, there was a noise in the yard: "Brother Ninth, Scar and the others are dead!"
"What?! He's dead?!" Brother Ninth walked into the yard, looked at the corpses in the yard, and shouted, "Brothers, search for me! Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we must find the person who killed Scar and the others!
"
"Pa!" As soon as Ninth Brother's words fell, Lin Aofeng opened the window and jumped down from upstairs. He kicked Ninth Brother to the ground, stepped on Ninth Brother's head, pulled out his pistol, and took advantage of Ninth Brother.
Before the men could react, one of them shot them. After changing the magazine, Lin Aofeng put the gun against Brother Jiu's head and asked: "Who are you?! Who asked you to come?!"
Brother Ninth stammered: "Friend, friend! Let's talk to you if you have anything to say! If you lift the thing that's holding my head, it won't be good if it goes off!" Lin Aofeng remained unmoved and fired at Brother Ninth with his gun.
His head tightened, and Ninth Brother suddenly panicked and said: "We are Zhang Xiaolin's subordinates from the Qing Gang, and we are also doing things under orders! Brother, please show your respect and let me go!"
"Showing your noble hand?!" Lin Aofeng sneered and said, "Haven't you ever heard the saying 'If you cut the grass without removing the root, it will grow again with the spring breeze?'?! Am I going to just wait for you to take revenge?!" After that, Lin Aofeng said
The trigger was pulled.
"Feng'er has been out for so long, why don't you know how to do it?!" Ever since she learned that her son was out, Cheng Xuemei's heart was high. Lin Guodong, who was sitting in the living room reading a book, saw his wife fidgeting and helplessly put down the phone in his hand.
He read the book and said: "Feng'er's martial arts is so high, and he also carries a gun, nothing will happen to him! Just sit down and take a rest!"
"You damn old man, there's so much chaos outside now, and Feng'er is alone, how can I not worry?!" Cheng Xuemei yelled at her husband, and when she was about to walk out of the living room in a panic, Lin Quannan's voice came in: "
Master, are you back?!"
Lin Aofeng nodded and was about to speak when Cheng Xuemei ran out and asked, "A Feng, are you okay?!"
"Mom! I'm fine! Don't worry!" Then Lin Aofeng asked: "Is everything okay at home?!"
"It's okay! It's okay!" Cheng Xuemei looked behind Lin Aofeng and asked, "You are the only one who is back, but where is Qing?!"
Lin Aofeng replied: "Mom, don't worry! Their family is safe!"
"Oh! Just be safe!" Cheng Xuemei pulled Lin Aofeng into the small foreign building...
Half a month later, the counterrevolutionary massacre initiated by Chiang Kai-shek came to an end temporarily, and order was restored in Shanghai again.
"Dad, why did you come back so early today?!" Lin Aofeng, who had just returned home from school, asked curiously when he saw Lin Guodong sitting in the living room.
Lin Guodong smiled and said: "Your grandpa and your teacher Mr. Jiang Baili will come home later. So I will come back early."
"What?! The teacher is coming?!" Lin Aofeng was startled and asked in confusion: "Dad, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Lin Guodong asked with a smile: "Why do I have to tell you in advance?!" Then he joked: "Don't you say everyone has their own right?! If I don't tell you in advance, it's my right!"
Lin Aofeng felt as if he had shot himself in the foot. He scratched his head and said, "Dad, you are so uninteresting! Where are you from? You are betraying me now!"
Cheng Xuemei, who was walking out of the kitchen with a fruit plate, heard the conversation between father and son and immediately laughed and said, "Feng'er, go wash up quickly! Your grandpa and your teacher will be here in another hour!"
