Deng Wenyi walked in with letters and telegrams. "One Chen Geng stirred us up, please look at the general seat, and there are so many people who intercede for Chen Geng." Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand, he did not want to look at it at the moment. "There's a telegram from the Whampoa students, do you want to hear it?" Deng Wenyi drew a copy from it.
Chiang Kai-shek raised his hand and said, "Nian Nian! Deng Wenyi tore open the telegram and read it.
"Commander-in-Chief: I waited for thirty-two Huangpu Phase I classmates, prostrated themselves on the ground three times, and interceded for Chen Geng. I implore the general seat, our old headmaster, to be lenient, to be morally important, to be merciful under the knife, and to let Chen Geng go. Teachers and students cannot fail to talk about their feelings; the grace of saving lives cannot fail to repay.
There is a way: Knowing grace does not repay the non-gentleman, and grace will revenge is a villain. If he insisted on killing, not only would the Huangpu disciples be discouraged by the old headmaster's absolute desperation, but the commander-in-chief would also be faceless and stand on the human world.
This can be described as: killing the life of one person, losing the hearts of the people, which is lighter and heavier, what is gained and what is lost, please think twice, Ming Jian ..."
"Anything else?" Chiang Kai-shek asked coldly. "Yes." Deng Wenyi flipped through the pile of letters one by one, "There are also General Du Yuming's, General Zhang Zhizhong's, and Sun's Wife Song Qingling's... They all interceded for Chen Geng. ”
"Forget it, don't read it!" Chiang Kai-shek looked annoyed.
Nanchang Airport. Chen Geng was blindfolded and escorted to a military plane. The plane landed at Nanjing Airport, and Chen Geng was pushed into a prison cart. The prison cart took Chen Geng to Tangshan, on the outskirts of Nanjing.
Here, Chen Geng has absolute freedom, but he is isolated from the world. In addition to reading books and newspapers every day, he fished, painted, and took pictures.
On the surface, he seemed to have calmed down, which made the gendarme squad leader who was guarding him feel a burst of excitement and hurriedly reported to Deng Wenyi: "He seems to have calmed down and has a repentant heart!" Deng Wenyi listened and shouted happily: "Great, I will report to the principal immediately!" ”
In fact, in the depths of Chen Geng's heart, he was always thinking about the battlefield ahead, and he had to try to tell his situation to the people who cared about him and rescued him.
Chen Geng's words and deeds in prison and his every move deeply touched the gendarmerie squad leader who guarded him, and they became good friends.
One day, Chen Geng asked him to take out a large number of materials and photos, found the Neishan Bookstore, and handed them over to Mr. Lu Xun.
One photo after another, one material after another was transferred from Lu Xun's hand to Song Qingling's hand.
nanking. Song Qingling's room.
Song Qingling and Lu Xun were surrounded by a group of foreign journalists. Song Qingling stretched out the photo to a foreign female reporter and said in fluent English: "See? Dear Smedley, this is what the authorities call 'Chen Geng escaped from prison'! ”
Smedley said: "I have been deceived again, and I cannot imagine that your Chairman Jiang would dare to deceive the public and public opinion in this way!" China is so unlucky! ”
Song Qingling said, "Now, we just want to relieve this misfortune!" Yang Xingfo said: "I will go, I will take the evidence, go and question him in person, and see what else he says?" ”
Song Qingling said: "No, this time, we have to go quietly, and we must suddenly put the evidence in front of him." Otherwise, if he finds out that the secret has been leaked, he will definitely transfer Chen Geng out again, or secretly kill him..."
Two days later, on Chiang Kai-shek's desk, a large pile of photographs of Chen Geng in the Tangshan detention center and a copy of the manuscript, Soong Ching Ling, was taught.
Deng Wenyi said anxiously: "The committee seat, Madame Sun and Yang Xingfo, as well as a group of foreign journalists, are waiting for you outside!" ”
Chiang Kai-shek's eyes widened in anger and he said, "No, I don't see anything!" "But if you don't see it, they won't go!" Deng Wenyi said tremblingly.
"It's all a good thing you've done, and you're responsible!" Chiang Kai-shek roared angrily. The phone rang sharply again.
Deng Wenyi picked up the microphone: "Ah, madame... Well, please wait! Turning back to Chiang Kai-shek, he said, "Delegate, Madame, please speak!" ”
Chiang Kai-shek said: "I will not talk, but tell her that I am holding a military conference and cannot open my body!" ”
Song Qingling's voice came from the microphone: "Zhongzheng, I heard your voice, why are you afraid to see me?" Why not answer the phone! ”
Chiang Kai-shek took the phone in horror: "Ah, madam, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just came back from the front, and now I'm holding an emergency meeting, and I can't leave..."
Song Qingling scolded into the microphone: "You are still perfunctory." Where was your original guarantee? Where is the personality? You can also not see me, but you have to answer me immediately, do you want to let go or not to let Chen Geng go? Put, my power can be stopped; no, you have seen, those photos, testimonies, power on tomorrow together to see the newspaper! I am sure that the whole country and the whole world will unanimously condemn you! ”
"No, madame," Chiang Kai-shek was already terrified, "I will release it immediately!" Song Qingling and his party left angrily.
Chiang Kai-shek turned his voice and stared at Deng Wenyi: "Give the order, release Chen Geng!" Deng Wenyi thought he had heard wrongly: "What, let Chen Geng go?" "Yes, give the order immediately!" "Commissioner, didn't you let the tiger go back to the mountain?" Deng Wenyi said nervously.
While wiping the beads of sweat from his face with a handkerchief, Chiang Kai-shek hid from his feet and said, "In your opinion, how should we deal with it?" ”
Deng Wenyi said: "According to what I saw, the situation is already very clear: killing is losing righteousness to the public; letting go is like letting a tiger return to the mountain, and it is difficult to have both things done." However, the commission must have another high-level trick, which does not lose its righteousness to the public, and there is no danger of letting the tiger return to the mountain. ”
The next day, Deng Wenyi came to the prison with a group of gendarmes and a group of Chinese and foreign journalists. Deng Wenyi deliberately shouted loudly: "Classmate Chen Geng, you are free!" The principal said, in the future, when you are cornered, you can come back by yourself! ”
Chen Geng was taken out, and the reporters held up their cameras. Chen Geng said, "I am coming back, but not to surrender to Chiang Kai-shek, but to liberate Nanjing!" ”
Two days later, Chiang Kai-shek's desk was filled with all kinds of Chinese and foreign newspapers, and looking at the news published in the newspapers, "Chiang Kai-shek's Righteous Interpretation of Chen Geng", Chiang Kai-shek smiled slyly, and a conspiracy was plotted in his heart.
It turned out that Chiang Kai-shek tried to instruct agents to assassinate Chen Geng on the road. This was Chiang Kai-shek's usual trick.
However, Chen Geng, with the help of Soong Ching Ling, contacted the party organization and eventually made a safe way to the Soviet area via Shanghai.
