The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1910 Delay

When Xu Lang and Wang Chuan returned to the house where they lived, Xu Lang was silent for a long time. He felt humiliated.

He felt that when Shang Zhen asked him to sign, it was as if he had committed a crime, that he was the one who shot and killed Mo Jianchen, and then he wrote his name on the confession. If he pressed his red handprint on it, it would be like a contract to sell his body!

However, he was unable to refute the request made by Shang Zhen.

Because the confessions of Fan Tongwu used by Shang Zhen were all original statements and had been confirmed by him.

Although another witness, Wu Ziqi, was not present, Liu Heqiang, who had once had a very unpleasant argument with Mr. Xu, also relayed Wu Ziqi's words, which were then confirmed through Xu Lang.

Xu Lang had no choice but to admit what Wu Ziqi said. The reason was that in order to investigate the cause of Mo Jianchen's death, Xu Lang and his men had asked Wu Ziqi many times when they were in the Eighth Route Army.

"Team Leader Xu, do you think we need to do anything else?" Seeing that Xu Lang remained silent, Wang Chuan asked cautiously.

"Team leader" is the new title Wang Chuan gave to Xu Lang. It is also a temporary title, just like his position as a special commissioner for grain, which has now become a thing of the past.

Xu Lang didn't say anything. He felt that there was no need for him to stay in the 11th Division anymore.

Only now did he realize that following Leng Xiaozhi and asking Shang Zhen to hand over the so-called murderer was a joke and a complete misjudgment on his part.

When we arrived at the Northeast Army's territory, we were unfamiliar with the place and expected them to hand over the murderer. How could that be possible?

Seeing that Xu Lang didn't say anything, Wang Chuan carefully observed from the side.

In fact, Wang Chuan was able to completely guess what Xu Lang was thinking.

In Wang Chuan's opinion, Xu Lang was completely bringing shame upon himself.

Why do I say that? The investigation report that Shang Zhen received did not exaggerate or minimize the facts, but was a completely objective statement.

The evidence was naturally what Fan Yong said, and what Wu Ziqi said was confirmed by Xu Lang. In the end, the investigation report was actually in duplicate! Both were signed and confirmed by Xu Lang.

  Of course, you, Xu Lang, can choose not to sign, but the problem is that the facts are there, and you cannot deny that what others say is wrong, so why don't you sign?

Why did Shang Zhen use two clerks?

  Since they don’t have carbon paper, doesn’t that mean they have to write two copies?

One copy was left to Shang Zhen's camp, and the other copy was given to their Eighth Route Army representatives. If either party wants to go back on their word later, the other party will have evidence confirmed by both parties. Do you think Shang Zhen's plan is cruel?

  Therefore, what Xu Lang said before coming here, that is, his wish to get Shang Zhenying to hand over the murderer through Leng Xiaozhi, was not realized at all. Instead, he signed the report with an undecided conclusion. Aren't you asking for humiliation?

As the saying goes, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders can see clearly." Wang Chuan understood this very well. In fact, Xu Lang was only motivated by selfish desires. As for what his selfish desires were, Wang Chuan could guess them without having to guess.

As the saying goes, seeing through something but not speaking it out loud, Wang Chuan would never point out such things.

It was true that he was a soldier, but he had also been engaged in underground work for quite a long time. Otherwise, why would Minister He send him to accompany Leng Xiaozhi and Xu Lang? That was to use his brain and experience to find out the real reason for Mo Jianchen's sacrifice.

But if Wang Chuan is asked to write this investigation report, he can only do exactly the same as Shang Zhen. The key witness Fan Tongzuo is not there, and he has no objection to other evidence. Isn't this the way to go?

Seeing Xu Lang in a daze, how could he just stare blankly? After all, Xu Lang was the team leader.

"Team Leader Xu, do you think we should go back?" Wang Chuan asked again.

"Go back! What are you doing here? Are you embarrassing yourself?" Xu Lang, who always spoke in a very elegant manner, said angrily.

Seeing Xu Lang's attitude, Wang Chuan was not annoyed. He now understood why Leng Xiao did not like Xu Lang.

He sounds very logical and all he says are great principles about caring for others, but his own cultivation is limited and his selfish desires are just hidden very well.

Based on Wang Chuan's personal experience, the more he encounters such people, the more careful he has to be.

"But..." Wang Chuan hesitated, and finally said in a negotiating tone, "Leng Xiaozhi's lover is Shang Zhen. They haven't been together for a long time. Should we stay for them for one night?"

"Why stay?" Xu Lang was annoyed again when he heard Wang Chuan's suggestion to give Shang Zhen and Leng Xiaozhi, a couple who had not seen each other for a long time, one night! But when he finished speaking, he saw Wang Chuan looking at him in surprise. What he meant was that it was not easy for the couple to meet each other. It was reasonable for you to give them one night. No matter how heavy our task was, we could afford to stay one night. Besides, we didn't have any urgent tasks.

"He has been missing for two nights. No one knows where he has been. He couldn't even explain it clearly. In my opinion, he probably went to meet Shang Zhen!" Xu Lang said again. This was both to cover up his inappropriate attitude caused by anger and to find an explanation for his attitude.

However, his abrupt attitude just now made Wang Chuan realize that Xu Lang had lost his composure.

In fact, Wang Chuan would never believe Leng Xiaozhi's suddenly confused explanation. He also suspected in his heart that Shang Zhen transferred them away just to meet Leng Xiaozhi.

  But can I say this?

"Team Leader Xu, don't talk nonsense if you don't have any evidence," Wang Chuan reminded.

Wang Chuan's words made Xu Lang alert. He knew that he had lost his composure out of jealousy.

So he waved his hand in a dissembling manner and said, "Come on, let's go find Leng Xiaozhi. We should go back now."

But just as he and Wang Chuan stood up from the stool, the door was pushed open.

When the door was pushed open, they were both shocked, because a group of people rushed into the room all at once, all of them were soldiers from the Northeast Army.

"What are you going to do?" Wang Chuan became alert and his hand subconsciously reached for his waist.

Unexpectedly, one of the soldiers said, "Comrades of the Eighth Route Army, don't be nervous, we have no ill intentions.

We all fought side by side with Mo Jianchen. We are very sad that Mo Jianchen died. We just want to talk to you about the things that happened to Mo Jianchen before he died."

  Upon hearing what the soldier said, Xu Lang and Wang Chuan looked at the soldier carefully and found that he looked familiar!

"You, aren't you the clerk?" Wang Chuan pointed at the soldier.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's rare that the commander still remembers me. My name is Chen Hanwen, and like Mo Jianchen, I am a student soldier.

  When I fought the Japanese with Commander Mo Jianchen, we got along best. He taught me a lot about fighting the Japanese, like a beacon in the darkness that showed me the direction. "Isn't the one who introduced himself Chen Hanwen?

Chen Hanwen's character is a bit pedantic, but because of this, he seems particularly sincere. Wang Chuan and Xu Lang saw sincerity in Chen Hanwen's eyes, so he talked incessantly.

"Yes, yes, and me too." As Chen Hanwen was speaking, another person came up from behind and introduced himself. "My name is Chu Tian, ​​and I'm a platoon leader now. When I was with Commander Mo, we talked late into the night and benefited a lot from it. Commander Mo is definitely my mentor and friend!"

Chu Tian had just finished speaking, and before Xu Lang and Wang Chuan could express their opinions, another soldier squeezed up from behind and said, "When Commander Mo and I were fighting the Japanese, he also taught me how to write. He taught me to write "Down with Japanese imperialism" and said that if he saw me next time, he would teach me how to write again, and I would never become a slave of a conquered nation! But why did he die?"

This soldier's emotions were more sincere, and his eyes became red as he spoke.

"Yes! Commander Mo also said that officers and soldiers are equal, and it is wrong for commanders to beat and scold soldiers!" Another soldier behind this soldier added.

As the soldiers in front of them started talking, the soldiers behind them also started talking, and the room was filled with talking.

  This cannot be called a memorial service for Mo Jianchen because the situation is not appropriate, but it is also equivalent to a commendation meeting for Mo Jianchen's deeds during his lifetime!

Wang Chuan and Xu Lang looked at each other. They had not expected that Mo Jianchen's prestige in Shang Zhenying would be so good, and as a member of the Eighth Route Army, he felt proud.

But in this case, how could they leave at this moment?

What's more, they also wanted to know what the lower-level officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army were thinking. Being good at ideological work was what the Eighth Route Army was good at, so the two of them started a discussion with these soldiers.

At this time, Wang Chuan and Xu Lang had been blocked by the soldiers, so they naturally did not notice that at this moment, someone at the door turned around and nodded to the outside. The one who nodded was Hou Kanshan, whose face was disfigured.

The one who saw Hou Kanshan nodding was Shang Zhen, who was not far from the house. Right next to Shang Zhen, Leng Xiaozhi was looking at her man with a reproachful look.

But Shang Zhen didn't look at Leng Xiaozhi at this time. Instead, he nodded to the side.

There was a horse-drawn carriage parked there, with Qian Chuan'er sitting in it. When the coachman saw Shang Zhen nodded, he waved his whip and said, "Gee!" The carriage then pulled Qian Chuan'er towards the division headquarters.

I'll correct the typos tomorrow morning. I can't do that now. I'm too sleepy!
