Chapter 529 528 [Army Prison]

Hu Shi was very excited along the way, as if he felt that he had become a fighter for democracy. Call him naive or cowardly, anyway, this guy is really for democracy. It's just that his democracy is the "democracy of free intellectuals", which is completely different from the "revolutionary democracy" of leftists.

So two years ago, Hu Shi became a vanguard in the pursuit of democratic constitutionalism, and was forced by the Shanghai Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang to seek refuge overseas. So two months later, because of his disagreement with civil rights and democracy, he did not hesitate to lie openly, thus falling out with the gang of leftists in Shanghai.

Everyone came to Zhang Xueliang's private residence in Beiping. Before entering the door, a young man in a suit came out and said calmly: "Hi, gentlemen, my name is Wang Zhuoran, and I am the secretary of Han Shuai. Everyone, go to the army prison."

"Brother Zhuoran, long time no see!" Zhou Hexuan laughed.

Wang Zhuoran smiled, nodded and said: "Brother Mingcheng, Hanshuai even misses you, you should come and walk around more in the future."

"Haha, let's talk." Zhou Hexuan was noncommittal.

Wang Zhuoran belonged to Zhang Xueliang's confidant, and Zhang Xueliang had become good friends with Wang Zhuoran before taking charge of the army. This person was born in an ordinary peasant family in Liaoning. He was admitted to a normal school through hard work (because the normal school is free of tuition fees). During his studies, he joined the Young Christian Church and happened to know Zhang Xueliang, who is also a Christian.

When Zhou Hexuan just crossed over, Wang Zhuoran was studying in the United States. After Zhang Xueliang took power in Northeast China, Wang Zhuoran happened to return to China and was hired as a professor at Northeastern University, and also served as Zhang Xueliang's staff officer and the tutor of Zhang's children.

Zhou Hexuan only met Wang Zhuoran before the September 18th Incident broke out.

At that time, Wang Zhuoran was recuperating by Zhang Xueliang's side, while Zhou Hexuan repeatedly persuaded Zhang Xueliang to guard against the Japanese in advance. The two chatted a lot in private, and Wang Zhuoran admired Zhou Hexuan's knowledge and insights, and he could be regarded as a friend of the same kind.

Zhang Xueliang's secretary and adjutant group can be called a patriotic base, bringing together patriots from various factions today. The political philosophies of these patriots are varied, but one common feature is that they are young, and they are basically between the ages of 20 and 35.

Some of Zhang Xueliang's secretaries and adjutants are traitors to our party, some are important figures in our party in the future, and there are many young people, National Socialists and democrats.

For example, the Wang Zhuoran in front of him is one of the initiators of the future "Jiu San Society". His current identity is Zhang Xueliang's foreign secretary, but his real position is the executive chairman of the "Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association", responsible for organizing and leading the non-governmental anti-Japanese activities in the Northeast.

Zhang Xueliang was really interesting this time. He actually sent a patriot who sympathized with the Communist Party to serve as the reception task of the China Civil Rights Protection League. This is equivalent to saying, you can do whatever you want. I neither support nor oppose it. Whether you can rescue the Communist Party in prison depends on your own ability.

Seeing this, Yang Xingfo said happily: "It turns out that Mingcheng and Secretary Wang are old friends, so we are all on our own!"

Wang Zhuoran's tone was very steady, and he said with a calm face: "I will take you now to visit the Beiping Army Prison."

Accompanied by Wang Zhuoran, everyone came to No. 21 Paoju Hutong in the east city of Beiping, which is where the Beiping Army Prison is located. This is where political (harmonious) criminals are detained. For example, Ji Hongchang, a famous anti-Japanese patriotic general, will be detained here next year and will be executed by order of Chang Kaishen. Before he died, Ji Hongchang wrote a desperate poem on the snow with a branch: "I hate to die against the Japanese, and leave it as a shame today. The country is broken, so why should I cherish this head."

During the period of the Anti-Japanese War, this place became a concentration camp for the Japanese army, known as "China's Auschwitz", and the corpses of countless Chinese soldiers and civilians were removed from the prison every day.

Before going to prison, Wang Zhuoran reminded: "There are many cronies of Chairman Jiang here, everyone, don't act recklessly, otherwise Han Shuai will not be able to make the decision."

Zhou Hexuan nodded to express his understanding. Chang Kaishen has extended his tentacles to the whole country by setting up the party headquarters. Although Beiping was Zhang Xueliang's territory, Zhang Xueliang adopted an active and cooperative attitude, and the power of the Nationalist Party developed very rapidly.

Wang Zhuoran took out an order letter signed by Zhang Xueliang, ran to the guards to register, and then brought Zhou Hexuan and the others in.

The people were not allowed to enter the prison, but were arranged in a reception room.

Soon a jailer brought a prisoner and saluted Wang Zhuoran: "Secretary Wang, the prisoner has been brought!"

"Thank you brother." Wang Zhuoran nodded and smiled.

After the jailer left, Wang Zhuoran pointed to the prisoner and said, "This is Liu Zhiwen. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly."

Liu Zhiwen was betrayed by a traitor and arrested half a year ago. He didn't seem to have any external injuries on his body, but his spirit was a little haggard, and he said with a bleak smile: "I hope you gentlemen will come."

Hu Shi couldn't wait to speak: "Your conditions in prison are like..."

"Wait a minute," Yang Xingfo glanced at the door and reminded, "Speak in English."

Liu Zhiwen immediately replied in fluent English: "Everything is fine, but I have to have a big meal from time to time."

Hu Shi didn't hear the implication at all, and said with a smile: "The food in the prison is very good now, and you can also eat big meals."

Liu Zhiwen said angrily: "There is still a lot of attention to cooking big meals. For example, using needles to pierce the nails, such as brushing the urine (harmony) with pig hair. The dish I eat most is called 'Duck Swimming', which is to use thin The rope is tied with both arms, and the whole person is suspended in the air. This is a side dish, and the main dish is "fried pork with bamboo shoots". ..."

"do not talk!"

Yang Xingfo was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this, and said angrily: "This matter must be told to the public, China is a civilized society now, how can there be such severe punishments!"

Zhou Hexuan did not speak from the beginning to the end. As a time traveler, he was too clear about the methods of the Kuomintang jailers. New China has been propagandizing for decades.

As for Liu Zhiwen in front of him, he is obviously a pseudonym of the underground party. His real name is Liu Zunqi, and he later became a very famous publicity officer of our party. In addition to Liu Zunqi, there are still many underground parties in the Beiping Army Prison at this moment, including even the department-level bosses after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Zhou Hexuan looked at Wang Zhuoran curiously, and saw that Zhang Xueliang's secretary was smiling and listening to Liu Zhiwen's complaints, not afraid of the scandal in the prison being exposed.

I'm afraid Zhang Xueliang also has plans to release him, so he specially sent Wang Zhuoran to push the boat along.

What Zhou Hexuan didn't know was that the underground party under the pseudonym "Liu Zhiwen" in history was released by Wang Zhuoran. Moreover, Wang Zhuoran also met many underground parties through "Liu Zhiwen". Not only did he secretly take care of and help him, he even "accidentally" leaked information to the underground party.

No one in the world is the same!
