Chapter 52

An officer was sitting on the side sofa of the spacious office, talking and laughing with the tall, round-faced officer wearing gold-rimmed glasses behind the desk.

Fang Youchun went straight over to salute, and handed over the complaint with both hands. Wu Ming knew from the conversation that this person was indeed Xu Enzeng, a member of the CC department.

Xu Enzeng smiled kindly, motioned Fang Youchun to sit on the sofa next to him, and immediately opened the complaint to read without any delay. Wu Ming was deeply surprised by such an efficient work style.

Five minutes later, Xu En once raised his head and called Fang Youchun: "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry. Before the question is clarified, I can only temporarily call you Mr. Fang instead of your original military rank. I have read the complaint and can only Said, the issues you reported are very detailed and important, but we need a period of time to investigate and verify, please don’t worry Mr. Fang, we will make a preliminary conclusion within 5 days.”

"Thank you! I am mentally prepared for this." Fang Youchun replied.

Xu Enzeng nodded slightly, lowered his voice and asked kindly: "Mr. Fang, your complaint said that from the third year of the Republic of China to the sixth year of the Republic of China, you studied in the Zhejiang Lecture Hall, and the chief instructors were General Jiang Dingwen and General Lin Wei. I'm curious, why didn't you ask your two instructors for help after you were framed?"

Fang Youchun replied truthfully: "Firstly, I was arrested and imprisoned very suddenly, and I didn't have time; secondly, I had no contact with the two old instructors for ten years, so I am really embarrassed to ask for it. After my family paid a huge ransom the day before yesterday, I was released from prison. So I rushed to Hangzhou to complain non-stop, hoping to solve it through the official channels of the party organization.”

Xu Enzeng nodded appreciatively, then turned to look at Wu Ming who was standing idly by, and raised his chin: "What's the matter with you two?"

Wu Ming didn't know what to do, but then he turned his head soberly, and saw the two officers who passed by the door just now, standing behind him at some point and looking at him repeatedly.

Wu Ming was very panicked, but he forced himself to be calm and pretended to be puzzled. He weighed quickly in his mind, wondering whether the murder of the two officers in his hometown Shangrao had been revealed?

Wu Ming was thinking about countermeasures anxiously, and when he saw the high-cheekbone officer who had been sitting aside and looked at him curiously when he came in, he also came over, and the name tag on his chest actually read Major General, and his mind went blank.

Fang Youchun also thought that Wu Ming's affairs in Shangrao had been exposed, so he subconsciously approached Wu Ming, groaning secretly in his heart.

The major general with protruding cheekbones walked slowly in front of Wu Ming, stared at Wu Ming's face, and asked kindly, "What's your name, please? Where are you from?"

Wu Ming's heart moved, and his dry throat squirmed a few times: "My surname is Wu, my name is Wu Ming, and I am from Changshan County in this province. May I ask you, sir, what can I teach you?"

"Your real surname is Wu?" the major general asked suspiciously.

"The real surname is Wu, please look, this is my ID card." Wu Wei hastily took out his ID card, his heart pounding.

The major general with protruding cheekbones took it and finished it, and gave Wu Ming an apologetic smile, and then regretfully said to the other two officers: "It's so much like Brother Bo'an, so much like it!"

The two officers looked Wu Ming carefully from head to toe, and kept saying that they were exactly the same.

The slightly thinner major general behind Wu Ming explained kindly: "I'm sorry, Brother Wu, you look too much like a junior of mine at the Whampoa Military Academy... He is from Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, and fought against Huizhou City in the second Eastern Expedition." At that time, I served as the company commander of the second battalion and the first company of the fourth regiment, and Chen Boan was the company deputy. We signed up for the Death Squad together, and rushed to the front together with a big knife and a pistol..."

"When we rushed to the end, we were shot almost at the same time. In a blink of an eye, there were only me and him and another platoon leader around. I was shot through my leg. The platoon leader was shot in the head when he was about to save me. Next, a few grenades flew down the city wall. It was Chen Boan who threw himself on me to protect me. He was covered in blood, but he still picked me up and ran back. At that time, General Xuan Tiewu was the deputy battalion commander. He led the brothers to risk their lives and rushed up to carry us down, but Junior Brother Bo An had to recuperate for half a year because of his serious injuries..."

"Unfortunately, in the end, Junior Brother Bo'an died at the foot of Wuchang City on the Northern Expedition Road. He was our hero in Huangpu! When I saw you just now when I went out, I lost my mind immediately. You and our Junior Brother look exactly the same."

Everyone sighed for a while, with regret and sadness in their eyes, it could be seen that they had a very deep relationship with Chen Bo'an.

Wu Ming showed a bright smile: "The general is..."

"My name is Leng Xin. I'm from Jiangsu. I just came back from Jiangxi's anti-Communist front line. I'm sorry to bother you." Leng Xin has a very easy-going personality.

Wu Ming shook his head and said nothing, and turned to Xu Enzeng, who was watching the fun, "Section Chief Xu, I'm sorry for my elder brother's affairs, the local army and officials in Zhejiang are really outrageous, corruption, plundering, how can there be any revolutionary ethics? If you hadn't come down from Nanjing, I guess my elder brother would have been wronged."

Xu Enzeng was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, and the other three generals also laughed, thinking that Wu Ming would really flatter him, and he would even make love while it was hot.

Only Major General Gao Cheekbone didn't smile. When everyone quieted down, he stepped forward and asked, "I don't know where Mr. Wu is now?"

"This... I haven't found anything to do yet, let's talk about it after my elder brother's work is done." Wu Ming was vigilant in his heart, but his face was calm.

The major general asked loudly: "In this case, why don't you actively join the army and serve the country? I think you are strong and courageous, and you will definitely make a difference in the army."

"May I ask which part the general belongs to?" Wu Ming asked modestly.

"I am currently the Chief of Staff of the Second Division of the Central Security Guard, and the troops have been expanded. This time I came to Hangzhou to pick up new recruits... How about it? Have you thought about it? If you want, I will take you to Nanjing. When the country is in crisis, everyone is responsible. !"

Xuan Tiewu likes the tall and handsome Wu Ming very much, and I don't know if it's because of his nostalgia for Chen Bo'an.

Wu Ming frowned, thinking to himself, why do the soldiers like to oppress people with justice?But he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of so many people, so he had to answer: "I feel that my knowledge is too little, and I want to study for a few more years."

Everyone shook their heads helplessly. Even Fang Youchun had a look of hatred for iron, but there was nothing they could do about it. They could only watch Wu Ming and Fang Youchun bid farewell and leave.

Xuan Tiewu looked away from the door: "Brother Rong An (Leng Xin), Zhiyi, don't you think Wu Ming and Junior Brother Bo An look too much alike? Where is such a coincidence in this world?"

"After you said that, I also began to doubt. It can't be such a coincidence, right? Yes, I remembered, Bo'an said that he has a younger brother in his family, could it be—"

Liu Zhiyi, the colonel head of the Central Gendarmerie Corps stationed in Hangzhou, who had been silent before, also began to doubt. He graduated from the political department of the second phase of Whampoa, and Chen Boan, who graduated from the second phase of the infantry department, was a student of the same period. They are very familiar with each other, so the feeling is more profound. .

Leng Xin was inspired: "I don't think so. Isn't Kang Ze in the party headquarters of Nanchang, Jiangxi? Give him a call and ask him to check the details of Shangrao immediately... If this person is really with Bo Junior Brother An is in contact, so I will help him no matter what."

"I think it's okay. The Gendarmerie Command can directly intervene. The military telephone line from Hangzhou to Nanchang has been restored, and it is very convenient to contact by phone."

Xu En once suggested with a smile that he was not interested in such matters, but he had already made up his mind to get in touch with Lin Wei, who followed Chiang Kai-shek in Nanchang to command the suppression of the Communist Party, and Jiang Dingwen, the new commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, as soon as possible. Is it related to them.

In general, Fang Youchun, who has a typical military demeanor, left a very good impression on Xu Enzeng, and the CC department also urgently needs to cultivate its own military power in the Zhejiang local army. This Fang Youchun is a good choice.
