Chapter 34: The Dilemma
Arrested Tang Cheng in prison, Sun Liansheng uncharacteristically began to remain quiet, and chose to lie dormant in the cyclamen, whether it was Zhou Peilin or Huang Hanju to visit, they were all blocked back by the soldiers guarding outside the gate of the cyclamen, Sun Liansheng had no intention of seeing them at all. "This dog surnamed Sun killed the talent, and it annoyed me, so he burned the cyclamen to the ground." Dropped several teacups in a row, and Huang Hanju, who was wearing an open military shirt, jumped like thunder in the hall of the Huang family.
Mrs. Huang, who was holding a cup of coffee, motioned to the people who came to clean up to go down first, and when there were only two of them left in the hall, Mrs. Huang put the coffee in her hand on the table in front of her, "Han Ju, I said can you sit down first to dissipate your anger, Sun Liansheng hasn't shown his tricks yet, why are you panicking, don't forget what Tang Cheng told you, you have to wait and see what happens." ”
"I just can't look down on Sun Liansheng's smug face, compared with Tang Cheng, Sun Liansheng's dog can't catch up with him on horseback. Why can he enjoy the big fish and meat in the cyclamen, and the Tang brothers have to be locked up in prison. Put down the teacup that was already in his hand, Huang Hanju was careful to accompany Mrs. Huang with a sinking face, fortunately there were only two of them in the hall, if the people saw Huang Hanju's face at this time, they would roll on the ground with joy.
"If you don't want to see it, keep it in mind, the person surnamed Sun poured dirty water on our Huang family and arrested Tang Cheng and sent him to prison, so naturally this matter can't be just settled. The most important thing now is to get Tang Cheng out of prison, and let go of everything else, I don't believe that Sun Liansheng can be proud for a lifetime. Speaking of Sun Liansheng, Mrs. Huang, who was still whispering, also became angry, and her plain white tender hand slapped the table with a crackling sound, and her pretty face full of anger was no worse than Huang Hanju just now.
"Master, Huang San is back." The butler who ran in was a little panting, and he was followed by Huang San, who was in the dust. Huang San was assigned by Huang Hanju to go to Wuhan to move rescue troops, but seeing Huang San's flickering eyes, Huang Hanju knew that he might have run away in vain. Sure enough, the news that Huang San brought back is not good news, the backstage relationship in Wuhan can only ensure that the Huang family will not be slandered by Sun Liansheng, and Tang Cheng, who has been arrested and put in prison by Sun Liansheng, cannot be released now.
"They said that before the identity of Company Commander Tang was clarified, it would never be released, and I also heard that the 71st Army had prepared two military judges to come to Macheng, and one of them was surnamed Sun." Compared with the previous news, Huang Hanju was even more angry at the latter news. The 71st Army made it clear that it wanted to put Tang Cheng to death, and the battle in Mengcheng had only passed for more than a month, and Tang Cheng was a person who had registered in the Mengcheng garrison regiment, how could he be a pretending to be an officer of the national army.
"Hanju, don't worry, they are nothing more than the one that extorts confessions from arraignment, doesn't Tang Cheng still have a letter of appointment from the Fifth War Zone, it's better for the military judge to come, when the time comes, let's invite a few more gentry from Macheng to participate in the arraignment, and see if they dare to tell nonsense in front of them." Mrs. Huang said that things were very optimistic, but Huang Hanju was quite worried about Mrs. Huang's right. Military judges belong to the army, and their arraignment of prisoners will not be as widely publicized as the court to try criminals, not to mention people like Mrs. Huang who have no military position, even the head of the Macheng garrison regiment is difficult to participate in.
"I think we still have to continue to send people to Wuhan to find a way, the surname Sun is obviously uneasy and kind, we don't know if the military judge sent by the 71st Army has anything to do with the surname Sun, if there is, then Tangcheng will be in trouble. They can say that the white is black, even if Tang Cheng is right, they will be charged with a crime, and then it will be too late to find a way, there are many crimes in the army. Huang San, whose butt was not yet hot, got on the horse and roared out of Macheng again, and Huang Hanju sent him to Wuhan again.
While the Huang couple were discussing countermeasures at home, Sun Liansheng, who had been hiding in the cyclamen, went to the prison to interrogate Tang Cheng, "Tang Cheng, the crime of pretending to be an officer of the national army is not light, especially if you dare to pretend to be an officer of the 88th Division, this crime is enough to be shot." Looking at Tang Cheng sitting on the ground of the cell, Sun Liansheng was still smug across the iron fence. I don't know what the reason is, Sun Liansheng hated Tang Cheng very much from the first time he saw Tang Cheng, and he could see Tang Cheng become a prisoner, which was no less than a victory in a battle for Sun Liansheng.
In order not to cause trouble for the prison guards who had been instructed by Huang Hanju, before Sun Liansheng entered the prison, Tang Cheng had already been transferred to a dark and damp cell, and Tang Cheng deliberately made a mess of himself, so that Sun Liansheng did not see the horse's feet. Sun Liansheng couldn't do anything to Huang Han in Macheng, but he was enough to rectify Tang Cheng, a little lieutenant, and how could Tang Cheng, who had been pondering for a day and a night, give Sun Liansheng a chance to rectify himself, so he just sat on the ground of the cell and didn't say a word.
"Tang Cheng, as the old saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, and I am determined to win the garrison regiment, you have been put in prison by me, and there is only one Huang Hanju left outside, who do you guess will laugh the most?" The arrogant Sun Liansheng cocked Erlang's legs, took out a cigarette and lit it, but Tang Cheng, who was asked by him, was still silent. It may be that the usual arrogance is at work, Tang Cheng's silence is only a means for the other party to express anger in Sun Liansheng's eyes, but the other party's ignorance makes Sun Liansheng even more angry, and he now has the idea of wanting to kill Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng sat in a cell full of peculiar smells, looking at Sun Liansheng coldly through the iron fence, knowing that this product was specially run to humiliate himself and have fun, Tang Cheng himself knew that silent treatment was the best counterattack, but Tang Cheng's heart was already full of anger. It's just a gentleman with a military background, and he can put himself in prison for a person who has fought to the death with the Japanese army, without the protection of the Huang family, Tang Cheng really doesn't know what he will become now.
"Do you know the way, I know that you fought with the Japanese, but so what, you are now in prison by me, you want to leave, kneel down and beg me, maybe as soon as my heart softens, I will let you go." Sun Liansheng continued to talk to himself, trying to prove his advantages with reality, but Tang Cheng sitting in the cell still didn't say a word, if it wasn't for Sun Liansheng seeing Tang Cheng's eyes rolling, who might think that Tang Cheng was already asleep.
Tang Cheng's silence made Sun Liansheng a little ugly, and the angry Sun Liansheng got up from his chair and yelled at Tang Cheng who was sitting in the cell, "If you want to go out, you have to listen to me, as long as you say that the light machine gun of the Japanese army has nothing to do with you, I will immediately let you out, and if you don't say it, you can be promoted to a lieutenant as a second lieutenant." The corners of Tang Cheng's mouth curled up and slowly showed a smile, saying so much or going back to the original point, it seems that Sun Liansheng not only wants to get the position of the head of the garrison regiment, he also wants to count Huang Hanju and the Huang family together.
"If you want to sit in the position of the head of the garrison, then go and sit, why drag so many people in, isn't it too troublesome for you to make so many things? Maybe the Huang family doesn't want to compete with you for the position of the head of the garrison regiment at all, why don't you go to Huang Hanju to talk, maybe you can save a lot of trouble. This is the first time Tang Cheng has answered Sun Liansheng's words, but the content of the answer is not satisfactory to Sun Liansheng, and it can even be said that it is pouring fuel on Sun Liansheng's fire.
"You just wait to sit through this big prison in Macheng." Seeing that Tang Cheng was a face that did not allow oil and salt, Sun Liansheng came to the fire, and ordered the prison guards in the prison to take a good look at Tang Cheng and left. Seeing Sun Liansheng riding away angrily, the prison guards immediately changed Tang Cheng back to the single cell, Tang Cheng resumed the days of eating and drinking but lacking freedom, while Sun Liansheng, who left in a bad mood, did not know what to do.
It turns out that the earth will still turn without anyone, without Tang City, Liu Shi's life will still go on as usual, and in the past few days when he moved to the Huang family, Liu Shishi would go to Huang Hanju every day to ask about the situation in Tang City. Although they couldn't see Tang Cheng in person, the prison guards would send Tang Cheng's letters to Huang Hanju every day, so Liu Shishi outside would learn about Tang Cheng's situation every day, and even know what Tang Cheng had eaten and done today.
"I see that he lives comfortably in it, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but a few of us who are in a hurry every day make it difficult to eat and sleep well, and if I want to say that this thing should be locked up in it for a few more days, it will be troublesome to see him." Lao Dongbei, who was biting a cigarette in his mouth, didn't care about Liu Shishi's angry eyes, and his words were full of complaints and dissatisfaction with Tang Cheng.
Liu Shishi was forcibly pulled into the garrison regiment by Liu Goat in Mengcheng, and his age was really young, so it was difficult for him to comprehend the atmosphere of getting along with the defeated soldiers, if it wasn't for Niu Laogui holding down his hand, maybe the teacup in Liu Shishi's hand would have smashed into Lao Dongbei's face. "I said you kid is in a hurry, isn't this a joke, as for being so serious?" Lao Dongbei, who was glared at by Niu Laogui, died down, but he was still muttering dissatisfiedly.
"Company Commander Tang wants us to leave first with the old and weak of the Huang family, what do you think?" Niu Laogui put the letter in his hand on the table, if it weren't for Steward Huang here, they wouldn't be able to understand what Tang Cheng had written. Tang Cheng, who was locked in the prison, was worried that the Japanese army would appear at any time, so he wrote a letter urging the old and weak of the Huang family to leave Macheng first, as for Niu Laogui, they were entrusted by Tang Cheng with the important task of protecting the Huang family.
"Our lord also means to let you follow your family members first, he will stay to deal with the affairs of Company Commander Tang, the Huang family still has some thin names in Macheng, and it will definitely not be called that Company Commander Tang was framed by the surname Sun." Steward Huang put on Huang Hanju's attitude, but unexpectedly, Liu Shishi was the first to stand up and say that he would wait for Tang Cheng to leave together.
