Ding Zhicheng, who had been busy all day, finally arrived at An Yi's house at dinner time. He knew that An Yi, who was "visiting privately" in private, was not willing to show up at this time, so he would not stay at the Ordnance Research Institute and the Lijiadu Hydropower Station construction site for dinner, and would definitely go there in the evening. Go back to your home and deal with many things.
An Yi heard Lin Yaodong reporting Ding Zhicheng's arrival and quickly ordered him to come in. Ding Zhicheng entered the hall and saw Yang Bin, Ye Cheng, Du Yi, Shen Fengdao, Li Meisheng, Kong Zechuan and others eating in the open side hall. They were not polite. He sat on the empty stools occupied by Generals Kong Zechuan and Li Meisheng, took the bowls and chopsticks from Aunt Ma, and began to eat without ceremony.
An Yi smiled and ignored Ding Zhicheng. He continued to discuss the secret report sent by Chief of Staff Zhao Rui from the North China battlefield with Yang Bin and Ye Cheng beside him. After Ding Zhicheng took down two bowls of rice, An Yi closed the file and handed it to the newlyweds behind him. The attached young adjutant.
Ding Zhicheng wiped his mouth and looked around: "Where's the wine? Why don't you drink tonight?"
"If you want a drink, I'll get you a bottle."
Shen Fengdao put down his chopsticks, picked up his napkin and wiped his mouth calmly, without any intention of getting the wine.
Ding Zhicheng chuckled: "Then I won't drink it. As soon as I saw the four dishes, one soup and the big steamed buns on the table, I knew that everyone was going to stay up late tonight..."
An Yi smiled and asked: "Old Ding, I heard that you caught that Ling Xing, how about it?"
Ding Zhicheng quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I caught him. The grandson fought me twice and slapped me three times, but he was still fine. He ran away as fast as the wind. If it hadn't been for the two patrol boats of the Marine Police Brigade that had been deployed behind the Linjiang Tower in advance. Jiang An, maybe he really let the grandson escape... Lao Shen, Ling Xing's internal energy is very strange. I feel that he comes from the Xingyi Sect, his moves are eclectic, and he seems to have the slippery twists and turns of the Bagua Sect. I just feel this way. I experienced this when I fought against Huzi. You have traveled all over the north and south and are well-informed, and you are the ancestor of a lone bandit. Please tell me about it."
Everyone laughed loudly after hearing this, but Shen Fengdao didn't care. His face was still the same as usual, showing no joy, anger or sorrow: "After receiving your call last night, I sent a telegram to Brother Zhang Chengzhu in Xuzhou. Zhang Chengzhu said at noon today. The elder brother called back and said that Zhang Zhankui, the commander of the Third Cavalry Division who was being reorganized in Xuzhou, was Ling Xing's uncle. Zhang Zhankui's senior brother Song Shirong passed away seven years ago. Before his death, he entrusted his 17-year-old apprentice Ling Xing to Zhang Zhankui, so Zhang Zhankui became Ling Xing's second master.
"It is said that this Lingxing was very talented. He had risen to prominence among more than a hundred brothers and sisters after following Zhang Zhankui for half a year. He was also disliked by his master and other brothers because of his arrogant personality and non-compliance with etiquette. At that time, Zhang Zhankui accepted Feng Yuxiang's invitation to serve as the commander of the Northwest Army. The commander of the Second Cavalry Division had no time to take care of the many disciples at home. Ling Xing, who was ostracized, left a letter in anger and ran away. As a result, he gained a huge reputation, but he also became famous because of the many major cases he committed. The important case is that neither Zhang Zhankui nor his disciples recognize that Ling Xing is from our sect. This is the origin of Ling Xing’s inheritance. Later I will show you the telegram sent by Brother Chengzhu at noon."
Ding Zhicheng was shocked: "Isn't Mr. Hu the sworn brother of the famous Shanxi Xingyi master Song Shirong? So, Ling Xing shouldn't call Hu Hu a senior brother?"
Shen Fengdao nodded and told a little story: "When I traveled to Tianjin ten years ago, I visited Zhang Zhankui, who was already the number one person in Tianjin's martial arts world. This man was very arrogant and ignored me when he saw that I was young. , but I sneaked into his martial arts studio late at night, exchanged blows with his master disciple named Zhao Daoxin a few times, and made some money. As a result, I made Zhang Zhankui angry for a long time. I guess he now knows about my presence through Brother Chengzhu. In the army, brother Chengzhu also said in the telegram that we would have a chance to have a drink together one day, saying that Zhang Zhankui was embarrassed to mention what happened ten years ago. By the way, Old Ding, your Songshan division should know these people."
Ding Zhicheng grinned: "Your family's three punches are famous all over the world, how can we compare? Haha, let's put it this way, Ling Xing's grandson looks a lot like Lao Shen when you were young."
Everyone laughed again, Shen Fengdao shook his head and asked: "What are you going to do with Ling Xing?"
"I don't know, I can't make up my mind. Aren't you here to ask for instructions from the commander? According to the legal details in southern Sichuan, there is no other result except shooting, but talents are rare!"
After Ding Zhicheng finished speaking, he looked at An Yi: "Commander, can you let that kid go? He is a brother-in-law with Huzi. If the case is really handed over to the police, it will be useless to intercede by then. Everyone knows that the new Prosecutor General Zhang Xiaowu’s grandson is selfless. If he really takes over, it will be useless for me to go to him. Besides, this afternoon, thirteen kilograms of gold bars and four new police revolvers have been found from the backyard of the Guanyin Temple in the south of the city. , and the piece of Tianzhu Buddha Seal that Mr. Xu of the County Chamber of Commerce just obtained. These stolen goods are enough for the court to sentence him to death dozens of times."
When everyone heard this, they all put away their smiles, and Yang Bin said to An Yi: "Although Xiaowu is your second-term senior brother from Huangpu and an old brother from our *** division, he enforces the law strictly and never shows favoritism. I'm afraid it's useless for you and me to plead for mercy now that the case is in his hands.
"The legal details and sentencing standards in southern Sichuan were determined by us through the Congress. If you don't comply, it will be difficult to deal with it. If you really want to let Ling Xing go, you have to get it done within these ten days, otherwise it will be a headache."
An Yi nodded: "Well, there happens to be a rather difficult matter. Originally, I planned to ask Yang Fei to go to Shanghai to supervise the matter. After thinking about it carefully, it would not be appropriate for our army to take action, so I thought of Ling Xing who came to my door. , let Lao Shen discuss the specific matters with Lao Ding later.
"I have to go with Brother Yang, Brother Ye, and Lao Kong to visit Mr. Qi, Mr. Qu Wenyuan, the president of the court, and other seniors later. I haven't seen you for such a long time, so I have to go and say hello. These old gentlemen are here for southern Sichuan. We have worked so hard on the construction, and at such an old age, we still insist on going to the countryside for ten days a month to inspect, which is not easy!"
Seeing this, everyone stopped wasting time. An Yi went in and changed into a suit, then went out with Yang Bin, Ye Cheng, and Kong Zechuan. Li Meisheng and others were all busy people, so they said goodbye to each other and left.
Ding Zhicheng followed Shen Fengdao into his own car. When the car drove out of the hospital, Ding Zhicheng asked curiously: "What did the commander tell me? Is it related to Ling Xing?"
Shen Fengdao nodded: "The commander unexpectedly learned something at the Ordnance Institute this morning. It was said that the US Marine Corps that had just arrived in the Shanghai Concession was equipped with a new semi-automatic rifle. According to Weimar, the general consultant of the Ordnance Institute. Harman and firearms research laboratory consultant Hoeness and others analyzed that this new rifle is most likely still in the stage of small-scale development, and the Ordnance Research Institute is very keen to obtain one or two sample guns and take them back for disassembly and research."
Ding Zhicheng suddenly realized: "I understand...but how to deal with Ling Xing's case?"
Shen Fengdao smiled slightly: "How hard can this be to defeat you? If not, let him escape from prison."
"No! You can't escape from prison. I don't want to lose my reputation. You can say it out loud! Why don't you just do what you do and become a death row prisoner?"
Ding Zhicheng spoke seriously, but his words contained a gun and a stick in his reply, which was not ambiguous at all.
Shen Fengdao turned his head: "Then I don't care. I didn't arrest the person. Besides, I'm not the police chief. What do you want to do?"
Ding Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, but finally compromised: "Old Shen, two brothers in one generation, you have to help me come up with ideas."
Seeing that Ding Zhicheng was subdued, Shen Fengdao whispered in his ear. Ding Zhicheng nodded repeatedly after listening.
Twenty minutes later, Ding Zhicheng and Shen Fengdao walked into the reinforced concrete cell where serious criminals were held, and ordered two guards to open the heavy iron door. Ding Zhicheng ordered the guards to leave, followed Shen Fengdao in and then closed the door. The man came to the stone bed and stopped, looking at Ling Xing who was lying naked on the straw after eating and sleeping soundly. He looked at each other and smiled without saying a word. He just stood there quietly, as if waiting for Ling Xing to wake up.
How could Ling Xing sleep with a clear mind? He felt that the narrow space was suddenly filled with a murderous aura. His strong muscles tightened subconsciously, and his heart beat faster involuntarily. It seemed that in an instant, the entire space was filled with a dangerous atmosphere. Ling Xing could only sit up slowly, half-opening his eyes, and coldly looked at Shen Fengdao, who was wearing a brown general uniform, and Ding Zhicheng, who was wearing a black general uniform. He seemed to be curling up shyly, but in fact, he was secretly putting on an expression that was difficult for ordinary people to detect. defensive posture.
Ding Zhicheng nodded slightly, carefully looked at the dark marks on Ling Xing's hands and neck made by beef tendons, and introduced to Ling Xing very calmly:
"Ling Xing, General Shen Fengdao has something to say to you. There is no need for you to put on this desperate posture. No one will make it difficult for you for the time being."
Ling Xing's eyes suddenly opened wide and he stared at Shen Fengdao, who was standing there casually but as majestic as a pine tree. He couldn't help but open his mouth and asked:
"Are you...Shen...Senior Shen?"
Shen Fengdao showed a rare smile: "It's okay not to mention the past things. Take the time to tell the truth. Brother Ling Xing, I know that you are a close disciple of Senior Song Shirong. Before Senior Song passed away, he entrusted you to be independent in Tianjin. Junior brother Zhang Zhankui of the sect, but you left after not staying in Tianjin for more than half a year, and Zhang Zhankui and his sect do not recognize any disciples like you. Now I have a question for you, have you heard of the name Hu Jialin?"
Ling Xing was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was a senior who was famous all over the country a few years ago, and he didn't expect that someone would find out all about his background so quickly.
After a long time, Ling Xing smiled helplessly and said: "I haven't had the chance to meet Senior Brother Hu, but I have met Master Hu. I was still young at that time, only eight years old. Master Hu said that he had a son who was several years older than me. Unfortunately, after the master passed away, I I didn't make a trip to Cangzhou, but later I heard that Senior Brother Hu had joined the army and became the famous General of the First Division, so I didn't even have the shame to ask for an audience. However, I respected Senior Shen very much, but... I didn't Thinking of meeting Senior Shen in such a place, it seems that the An family army is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! Including this General Ding, I have never been convinced by anyone since my debut. This time I am convinced. Even if I fight calmly, I am not General Ding. Opponent, no complaints if caught."
Shen Fengdao nodded calmly: "You may not know that the crime you committed can be tolerated in other places, and you can spend some money and go out, but such a serious crime is difficult to forgive in southern Sichuan where the law is strict. Today I am I came under the order of Commander An Yi. I just want to make a condition to you. If you are willing to do it, I can let you out now. I will finish the job within ten days and give you back your sex. You can go wherever you like. As if nothing had happened before."
Ling Xing smiled slightly, and his face returned to his usual stern expression: "What if I don't agree?"
Shen Fengdao said solemnly: "I will shoot you immediately, so that a rare young hero like you will not be taken to a trial meeting of thousands of people and be reviled by thousands of people and approved by the law, even though your disciples and I have no Regardless of any friendship, I still don’t want the world to discuss the passing of Senior Song because of you.”
Ling Xing was stunned for a long time, sighed sadly, and asked in a low voice: "Senior Shen, General Ding, tell me, what conditions do you want me to agree to?"
Shen Fengdao stepped forward and whispered for a while, Ling Xing raised his head in surprise: "It's that simple?"
"It's that simple!" Shen Fengdao replied.
"But even if I rush to Shanghai immediately, finish my work and rush back here with my things, I won't be able to do it in less than 20 days."
Ling Xing's eyes were shining and alert, and it seemed that he was beginning to doubt Shen Fengdao's sincerity.
Shen Fengdao explained easily: "As long as you agree, we will fly you to Hangzhou. You will arrive in Shanghai by this time tomorrow at the latest. Someone will contact you. Once it is done, you can get on the plane and come back. You can go wherever you want after the goods are finished. During this period, if you need any help, the people in Shanghai will fully assist you. If you go and do it but it doesn't work, we won't make it difficult for you, just leave by yourself. However, I will never come to southern Sichuan again, and we will pretend we have never known each other."
Ling Xing thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I agree!"
Shen Fengdao walked to Ding Zhicheng with satisfaction. Ding Zhicheng was very happy and said: "I will have your box delivered to you later. We will wait for you outside. After you put on your clothes and go out, we will send you to Sanjiang Hotel to take a shower." , tomorrow morning you will first take a look at the information we have prepared for you, and then we will arrange for you to take a plane to Hangzhou, and when you get there, someone will drive you to Shanghai."
Ling Xing nodded again and stopped talking. When Shen Fengdao and Ding Zhicheng walked to the door, Ling Xing suddenly asked loudly: "Senior Shen, General Ding, your Anjiajun is so rich and has such good weapons and equipment. I heard that the armored battle You can make your own cars and cannons, so why would you want to pay attention to the Americans’ two broken rifles?”
Shen Fengdao stopped and thought for a moment, then returned to Ling Xing and replied in a low voice: "I just came back from the North China battlefield. Our Anjia army has lost more than 10,000 good brothers in the fierce battles in western Liaoning and the Great Wall for several months." , let alone other troops, for many reasons. One of them is that we do not have a mid-to-long-range repeating rifle that is better than the Japanese 38-gun, but the Americans I told you just now have it, and It was just equipped by the Americans, and it seems that it is still in the military inspection stage. The technology of this rifle is very advanced, and we don't have it, so we have to get a few back to see what's going on.
"As long as we understand the principle, we can mass-produce and equip all the brothers who defend our country as much as possible. In the future, our brothers will die less. However, we all have military backgrounds, so it is not convenient for us to go. Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. After all, there are too many things involved in this kind of thing. Do you understand?"
Ling Xing took a deep breath and nodded with emotion: "I understand, thank you, Senior Shen, for looking up to me."
"If you want, you can call me Brother Shen or Lao Shen. Hu Jialin is my brother, so you and I are the same generation." After speaking, Shen Fengdao turned and left.
Ling Xing looked at the open door, and it took him a while to realize that he had gotten out of bed and was standing there naked.
