Chapter 176: Catharsis
On June 1, Liu Zezhi came to Puji Temple to find the presiding Wuchen Zen master, and said: "There is a trivial matter that wants to bother the Zen master: on June 20, he borrowed a place in the treasure temple to recommend his deceased friends, and there was a colleague who had no relatives in Shanghai and no reason, and wanted to borrow the treasure temple to temporarily park the coffin. Please promise to look forward to it, and feel the same virtue when you die. ”
Liu Zezhi's words were very polite, but how could No. 76 be provoked by a mere Puji Temple? Wuchen Zen Master promised: "Master Liu Shizhu ordered, Wuchen dare not obey the order?" Puji Temple will prepare a water and land ritual in advance to recommend the deceased. There were originally several coffins parked in the back hall of the Tianwang Palace, and the coffins of your colleagues were parked together, which was convenient for burning paper in the morning and evening, okay? ”
Liu Zezhi thanked the abbot Wuchen, wrote out the name of the person who recommended the blessing, and wrote the figure of 1,000 yuan on the fortune book. Then please ask the abbot Wuchen: "Liu Wu, it's my younger brother, please ask the master to entrust the master to the master: recite the "Diamond Sutra" for him a thousand times." ”
The dustless abbot clasped his hands together and said: "The deceased has ascended to the immortal realm, and Liu Shi mourns the change." It was almost noon, and Liu Shizhu was invited to use some vegetarian food in the small temple. ”
Liu Zezhi sighed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment." Don't dare to be accompanied by Master Lao, I have used vegetarian food in the lower courtyard of your temple, today by chance, I want to walk around in your temple casually, listen to the evening drum and morning bell, maybe you can forget the troubles of the world. ”
It turned out that this person's younger brother was young and died unexpectedly, no wonder he looked depressed and haggard. Wuchen clasped his palms together and replied, "Donor, please." ”
Liu Zezhi finally saw Zhou Chengbin, the two were relatively speechless for a while, Liu Zezhi forced himself to calm down, and said: "I just received a notice from Sister Ji this morning, saying that you are back, so I ......"
Zhou Chengbin interrupted him: "Zezhi, Ah Wu's death, I empathize, in front of me, you don't need to restrain ......"
Liu Zezhi turned his face, he was a man, it was Liu Wu, the brother of the iron-clad Chinese man. Zhou Chengbin got up wordlessly and walked out. In a small meditation room, there was no one else, Liu Zezhi's tears finally fell, outside the window, the wind passed through the bamboo forest, and there was a rustling sound.
Five or six minutes later, Zhou Chengbin brought a pot of herbal tea and handed over a half-new towel: "Wipe your face first and drink some tea." I just came back from northern Jiangsu, and in less than two days, I went back and forth. There is one more thing: I told the abbot Wuchen that I would leave Puji Temple the day after tomorrow and run a vegetarian restaurant. This is the address, you will find me there later. ”
Liu Zezhi took the towel and buried his face in the towel, and after a moment, he calmed down and took two sips of tea before saying: "You are right to do this, if you stay in one place for too long, the possibility of accidents will become more and more likely." There are several things that need to be reported to you, one is that Long Ruikang died, and before he died, he killed three No. 76 agents, including Tian Chengxi. When I warned him, I left a suspicious spot, so I had to be quiet lately. Here's how it goes......"
After listening to Liu Zezhi's detailed account of how No. 76 identified Long Ruikang's identity, how he took the risk to warn, and how to make up for the loopholes afterwards. Zhou Chengbin said: "Zezhi, you are too impulsive! The only right thing you can do in this matter is to let it go and never do it. I know it's not pleasant to watch your comrades fall into a trap and sit idly by, but that's one of the prices we have to pay, and you can't be willful. ”
Liu Zezhi sincerely admitted his mistake: "I know I was wrong, you believe me, it will never be in the future." Mr. Mao sent a secret telegram, saying that he came to northern Jiangsu on the 15th, hoping to meet with me. What do you think? ”
"I also received a secret call, but Mr. Mao's trip was delayed for half a month. It's up to you to decide. ”
"Postponed for half a month? If I go to northern Jiangsu on the 15th, it will be inconvenient for me to move. A month later...... I'm trying to figure it out. I'll tell you the truth, I also want to meet Mr. Mao, it's been almost two years. I'll let you know in advance when it's confirmed. ”
Zhou Chengbin looked at his watch, he couldn't delay any longer, he said: "Let's make a long story short, there is one more thing that may help your situation: Wan Lilang of the State Administration of Political Security, one of his subordinates smuggled a batch of arms, I estimate that the real owner of the goods is Wan Lilang himself." Zhao Jingdong has a little brother named Zhang Xiaodan, do you remember? I sent someone to deliberately reveal a little bit of news to him. You see how this thing should work, what I need to do. Zhou Chengbin handed Liu Ze a very narrow note: "This is information about that batch of arms, and I can only hear so much about it so far." ”
Liu Zezhi took it to heart after reading it, burned the note, and replied: "Li Shiqun and Wanli Langming are fighting in secret, and there are disagreements from time to time. Let me think about it. By the way, there is another thing: in the past few days, six people died at once on No. 76, Li Shiqun asked me to order six wreaths for each person in charge of various departments on No. 76, and the person who went to collect money from the administrative department told me that Ni Xin was on a business trip and could not come back for more than a month. At this time, No. 76 was an eventful time, and he had just taken over the intelligence department, where did he go? But it's not a big deal, I'll keep an eye out for it, maybe there's some covert operation. Who is Long Ruikang? It's a good skill, but it's a pity that we don't even know each other. ”
"He came from the Northeast, he was experienced in a hundred battles, he was a sharpshooter, and he was ordered by Boss Dai to enrich the strength of the third column, and I know so much. He asks for kindness, you don't need to be too sad. Let alone...... He died for the country and will be sacrificed in the Martyrs' Shrine, but Liu Wu can't correct his name - Zezhi, give Liu Wu the supreme pillar of incense for me. ”
A few words touched Liu Zezhi's sadness, and he slammed his fist on the table, the teacups and teapots on the table shook, and the tea splashed: "I'd rather die!" Maybe if you die, you will be completely liberated - Cheng Bin, I'm so tired. ”
Zhou Chengbin didn't know what to say in order to comfort Liu Zezhi, who was on the verge of collapse. For a long time, he patted his brother who was lying on the table and wept silently: "Zezhi, the sun flag is still flying on our Chinese's land, how can we have the right to die?" Yang Shuang, Liu Wu, Long Ruikang, Sun Wenkai, Kong Wenqing...... Leaving one by one, what they haven't done can only be done by us. ”
After the catharsis, Liu Zezhi calmed down and said, "I'm sorry...... I have to go. Don't worry, I'm fine. ”
Liu Zezhi did not return to No. 76, came to Yicheng Trading Company, as soon as they met, Zhao Jingdong stroked his palm and said excitedly: "It's too coincidental, I was about to look for you." Come, sit down, talk. The tired Liu Zezhi sat on the sofa, and Zhao Jingdong remembered that Liu Wugang had just died, so he hurriedly changed his expression of concern and said: "Liu Wuzhi's matter, look away, your face is too bad." Have you eaten? ”
Liu Zezhi sighed: "I have no appetite." Or are you living a comfortable life, a few days of hard work, No. 76 died six brothers at once, including Captain Tian, and ...... None. I really don't think it's interesting to do this. ”
"Why are you talking about all this uselessness? Do you still dare to desert? Don't forget, we're ...... No, you are active soldiers, and I was dismissed from military service, but I am also a prisoner on parole, and if you leave Shanghai without permission, you can be killed on the spot. And Director Li is not thin on you and me. Tian Chengxi's death gave Zhao Jingdong, who was keen on his career, a glimmer of illusion, and he knew that there was little hope unless he could make great achievements.
Zhao Jingdong pulled over a stool, approached Liu Zezhi, and asked, "I'm going to eat here at noon today, what do you want to eat?" I'll let them get ready first, and I have something important to talk to you about. I heard that you are holding a funeral in Zhangluo, and you said that I will send a few wreaths if you don't need it? ”
"There's no need for that, is it? Others don't know the relationship between Yicheng Business and Director Li. What do you want to talk to me about? Say, I'll go back when I'm done. ”
"Do you always have to eat? Listen to me, I'll ask them to order you a few lighter dishes, and then ask for a lettuce soup. Zhang Xiaodan - Go to the Jin Jiang Hotel opposite and ask for a few dishes. Zhao Jingdong patiently persuaded: "Ah Wu's death was an accident, you want to open it." Alas, there is also Captain Tian, who was my old boss, although he did not take special care of me, he did not treat me badly. You say - No. 76 can't be without an action captain for a long time, right? Is there a suitable candidate in Director Li's mind? ”
Liu Zezhi stared at Zhao Jingdong, Zhao Jingdong was very uncomfortable, and accosted: "What are you looking at me for?" ”
Liu Zezhi smiled and asked, "What, do you have this position?" ”
"My own brother, I don't want to hide it from you. But it's useless for me to mean this, my current identity ...... Unless he makes a great contribution, even if Director Li has the heart to cultivate, there is no way. Last time, the director finally ordered me to carry out the second wave of attacks, who knew that the one named Chen Jinsong actually ran away! An opportunity was missed in vain. Alas, time is also fate. ”
Liu Zezhi said: "Don't be discouraged, didn't the director ask you to participate in the work of General Ono's Special Economic Work Office?" ”
"But it is far water, and it cannot quench the thirst of the near. Zezhi, now there is a chance, you have to help me, in fact, you are also helping the director. ”
