The wind above the earth seemed to stay for a moment. But immediately, the flowing clouds changed, the moon and the stars overlooked the ancient land, and the footsteps of the night were still flowing forward indifferently amidst the changing waves.

The stars move and the moon changes, and the light of the sunrise gradually takes over everything on this land, and hundreds of millions of creatures on the land start a new day of work. In a corner of the southwestern land, the light that once lit up near Xiaoye Village did not interrupt people's lives. After the explosion that occurred at night at 223, the slight waves that aroused gradually calmed down the next day. down.

Except for some new things that people added to their work and life in the near future, there are not many changes. It is probably in Wenpu Town, more than ten miles away from here. The members of the army did not come back here for a long time after that. More than ten days later, a new member came to take over the job, and even hung a signboard next to the literacy private school class. There are serious teachers. Come over to take over for him a group of Yexiang women or the children of their relatives.

The new teacher did not read the newspapers bought from the outside, but distributed the unified elementary school teaching materials step by step. This kind of education has continued peacefully since then. After half a year, only a very small number of Yexiang women will be able to In the occasional conversation, I talked about the former "Master Tang". And even after many years, people who have already become talents come back here, talking about the magnificent years from scratch, and talking about the first teacher who taught the children of Ye Xiangfu here. Dung worker, people basically don't have much impression of his identity and name, as if the waves of time melted into the golden years...

The land improvement process in Erqing Village lagged a bit, but not many people knew the reason, and soon after, everything was on the right track again step by step.

Only in the most hidden place, the causal connection is quietly extending to a larger and farther place...

On March 14th, when midnight was approaching midnight, Hu Tai, the second-in-command of the Wenpu County Police Department, rushed to the top of the mountain behind Xiaoye Village, and confronted Fang Lu who had pointed his bow and arrow at Tang Minjie. He is a veteran who retired from the battlefield, and now he belongs to the security system led by Hou Wu. Due to his injuries, he must not be able to beat Fang Lu and others in martial arts, but when things have developed to this point, violence can no longer determine It's time to go.

"...I already know what you have done, and I have been entrusted to conduct investigations. It is meaningless for you to kill and silence now... If the matter is not confirmed, he is alive, you are fine, and he is dead. There will be more investigations to continue; If the matter is true, kill him, and you will be more guilty..."

"...My brother is dead! I am Fang Lu, a major staff officer of the Third Division of the Fifth Army, my brother is dead! What qualifications do you have to come and stop me—"

"...You are useless to anyone, you can't escape the guilt of killing people in front of me—"

"...My brother is dead and no one can stop me from killing him—"

The confrontation between the two sides in the night was hysterical. The young soldier covered in blood even yelled and ran towards Tang Minjie—his hands were still bound, otherwise he would probably kill someone with a knife. The fight at this time was also to give Fang Lu The last chance is offered, while Hu Tai is holding a musket, Fang Lu is holding a strong bow, and the two sides are in a fierce confrontation...

Until Chen Cirang brought more people to surround him...

The next day, someone came to the Wenpu County Government to clear up and intercede, but in fact the whole thing could not be stopped. On the night of March 14th, Hu Tai had already sent a letter to a larger system At the same time, the biogas explosion in the 223 Research Institute was impossible to be covered up. On the afternoon of the 15th, along with Chen Tingrang's preliminary report, some first possible ins and outs were sent to the center.

After a few days of fermentation, the subsequent feedback was far more serious and powerful than Hu Tai imagined. On the morning of March 17th, he saw Tang Minjie's injuries at Office 223, and told him the initial development of the matter. After he came out, he saw soldiers and convoys approaching here silently. After that, he saw No matter how he imagined it, he didn't understand why the No. 1 chief Ning Yi appeared here.

Theoretically speaking, the development of land reform is in full swing, and Ning Yi will sit in the center of Chengdu anyway

, will not leave easily, and on the other hand, no matter how complicated Tang Minjie's identity is, it is not worth letting the other party make a special trip to Wenpu's small corner - he can call Tang Minjie to Chengdu. The appearance of Ning Yi can only show that he arrived near Wenpu because of some things before.

Of course, these things are not something Hu Tai dares to think deeply about. After being interviewed, Hu Tai revealed all his previous relationship with Tang Minjie, his understanding of him, and his understanding of this incident: he paid attention to Tang Minjie because Peng Yueyun came here one day last year I asked for a request once, but I don’t know the specific identity of Tang Minjie. After that, I only received one request from the other party for a long time, that is, I hope to go to Chengdu through Hu Tai to order some newspapers on a regular basis. This matter is not taboo. , Hu Tai helped, and later I heard that the other party used these newspapers to educate a group of Yexiang women and children.

And on the morning of March 14th, Tang Minjie came to him, hoping to use him to secretly treat a landlord in Erqing Village. Under Hu Tai's questioning, Tang Minjie seemed to think it was necessary, so he also treated him. Some doubts in Erqing Village made a report and a statement: He currently has doubts about the whole matter, and he doesn't want to casually hurt the staff there, so he also asks Hu Tai to conduct a simple investigation, and It is emphasized that this is a personal request, and I hope that the procedure will not be entered for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the other party.

On the afternoon of March 14th, Hu Tai found out about Fang Lu's identity background and part of his behavior. Not long after, he heard the news that Fang Lu had left Wenpu County in a group. Out of keen insight, he also took a gun after thinking about it Chased to Xiaoye Village overnight...

When Ning Yi asked, he told all these things together without embellishment. Afterwards, he was asked about various details, including how the other party opened the school for Ye Xiangfu and her children, and The state of the standoff that night.

On March 17th, at a quarter in the afternoon, Tang Minjie saw Ning Yi who came here...

Spring is in full swing.

Even Xiaoye Village, which is close to the barren Liangshan mountainous area, can see wild flowers blooming everywhere in this world.

The people in the village have already passed the busiest period of spring plowing, but many figures are still busy outside. Near the composting field of the 223 Research Institute, the traces of the explosion have not been removed. Tang Minjie, who was wrapped in a bandage, followed Ning Yi around this place and walked towards the mountain beside him.

He didn't understand why Ning Yi came here.

But Ning Yi then told him about Fang Lu's ending.

"...Just last night, Fang Lu committed suicide by piercing his throat with a stick after he settled all the questions in the confession."

Tang Minjie's body shook and he was unable to speak. After a while, Ning Yi took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket: "This is the confession of the young man named Yu Jue who was held hostage by you. I also read it. Yes, basically consistent with your statement, retelling the things you talked about that night..."

Ning Yi handed him the paper: "Look, is there anything to add?"

Tang Minjie read the confession. He blinked and thought for a moment: "This...young soldier is decisive, adaptable, not afraid of death, even...he is willing to sacrifice his life for his comrades, if...if it is not this time , he's a good fighter..."

Ning Yi nodded and sighed: "...what he said is also very deafening, isn't it?"

Tang Minjie shook his head: "These claims are not worth refuting, but if... there are many such voices inside..."

"There will always be such and such voices inside, especially extreme voices. Moreover, once people who want to make money have a legitimate reason, they will feel more at ease." Ning Yi waved his hand, and then Dao, "According to Yu Jue's confession and Hu Tai's report, you don't really want to live anymore. After the compost accident happened, it is confirmed that they have problems. You can obviously go to the research institute or a place where there are many people in the village. Shout out and it's settled, but instead of doing that, you turned around and ran up the hill...how did you think?"

The two stood by the stream where Tang Minjie and Yu Jue fought on the 14th night, and Ning Yi looked at him. Tang Minjie thinks

I thought for a while: "I was afraid that they would have too many people, so they took the risk and killed the entire research institute."

"Well..." Ning Yi nodded, "If it wasn't for them saying that you let go of Yujue in the end, they pointed at Fang Lu and shot you dead with an arrow, I would have believed your reason."

Tang Minjie remained silent.

"But you are ruthless enough. You have determined the problem and decided that you want to die. At that time, you still lie to Yu Jue, saying that Qiu Zishu died when he came out of the dung bucket. In fact, he was admitted by Hu Tai. He finally died on the night of the 16th, ruthless... Even if Fang Luhuo went out to kill you and breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't know that Qiu Zishu was still alive, and even had the double insurance of Hu Tai, so even if you gave them To put it mildly, I think Yu Jue is a good person, and when he was about to die, you didn’t let them down at all, except to kill yourself with their knives, so...how do I think of you, Tang Minjie?"

On the hillside, Ning Yi looked at him, and there were complex and even compassionate expressions in his calm eyes. But Tang Minjie didn't notice this scene.

"I didn't think about it that much," he said.

Ning Yi stopped being entangled, and they looked at the village below the hillside. After a while, Ning Yi just spoke.

"After defeating the Jurchen, the Huaxia Army was in the limelight. On the surface, the Seventh Army was in charge of the business route out of Chuan, and took advantage of it for a while. Later, it was severely punished. In Chengdu, many merchants and heroes from outside were all I am very willing to make friends with members of the Huaxia Army. I have been doing containment and investigation of this matter every year, but there must be a lot of people who slipped through the net. Just like people like Fang Lu, Yu Jue said in his confession that Fang Lu took This situation is true, but on the other hand, he has a bold personality and a wide range of friends, he is loyal to his friends, and has high requirements for his own life. Part of the money is spent on the dead. Comrades, part of the money brought the living comrades to spend a lot of money... This person has no spare money, as long as he gets money, he must spend it with his comrades and friends, even if someone borrows money from him, he has no reservations Help. Tang Minjie, do you want to have such a friend, frankly speaking, I want to."

"This kind of Jiyu, the big brother of the rivers and lakes, has always been the most popular outside, and there are some brothers who are willing to help him desperately. But where does his money come from? In the past two years, he has helped some outsiders. It is a kind of matchmaking, and these heroes from outside have flexible brains, knowing that as long as they have power, they can cash in any way, so they have been friends for two years, and since the news of the land reform was released half a year ago, they have already made various calculations and prepare..."

"When the land reform officially started, I personally took care of the initial hundred-village pilot project, so there were not many problems. But when the hundred-villages spread to larger areas, I couldn't really catch them. At this time, they started their own plans. Even taking advantage of internal differences of views, they can have their own concepts and slogans... So at this time, Tang Minjie, do you still sympathize with them?"

The wind blew across the ridge, Tang Minjie didn't speak, Ning Yi said: "The land reform is going well, and in Chengdu, the discussion of the people and the like is slowly starting to land. When you talk about it, it's no longer the same as it used to be. It’s an empty talk of the younger generation. But if this reform is to continue, where will the biggest problem arise, do you know?”

"Inside." Tang Minjie said.

"Yeah, inside." Ning Yi nodded, "The operation and collapse of all social models, to put it bluntly, is just an unfair profit distribution method that will eventually accumulate until the moment of collapse under long-term operation. The slogan We can pursue idealized fairness, but in actual operation, we need to find a feasible and better operation model than the previous method, so as to extend this time as much as possible. To put it bluntly, this is civilization The process of progress... In the past, the rural sages held the distribution power at the grassroots level, and they had a distribution ratio. Now that we want to replace this distribution right, we must ensure that the actual ratio will be better than theirs.”

"If the land reform is implemented, the control and mobilization of grassroots forces will increase tenfold, and the civilization of society will improve a lot. But people have a tendency to self-destruct...Fang Lu, Yu Jue, these people Maybe it's their tendency to self-destruct. Soup

Min Jie, if the land reform can be maintained for ten or twenty years with benign results, all people in future generations will think that such equality and human rights are taken for granted. By then, the discussion about the four peoples may become one. This is common sense, so no matter what, we must maintain its benign development for at least 20 years, and try our best to curb those self-destructive tendencies in us disguised as "human nature"..."

"I didn't come here this time to find you." Ning Yi said, "After making arrangements for things in Chengdu, I came out secretly. I planned to go to the front-line villages of the land reform as much as possible to have a look and collect all kinds of information. The possible problem... is that you just happened to meet this incident on your side."

"...Teacher, are you so unconfident?" Tang Minjie asked after a long time.

Ning Yi turned his head to look at him, and smiled: "Xiangxian itself has its advancement and inevitability. If you want to rely on a single bureaucrat to replace it, either the supervision of discipline has been strict to a certain extent, or, It is enough for them to be noble enough. If it is just some people who forgive themselves easily and shout about human nature, they will not be able to start this revolution. Outdated materials cannot build an advanced society.”

Tang Minjie raised his head: "But we are doing both."

"So we can rely on the current level of organization to make the first round of land reform come true." Ning Yi said, "We can barely promote the next development, but every step is already very tight... Hundred villages pilot, one thousand A working group, 10,000 people, this is already the administrative elite we have accumulated, but do you know how many people are behind the supervision? Then they developed to a thousand villages, 10,000 villages, and in the continuous land reform And to recruit newcomers, what level of supervision can be used to ensure that they are always under pressure without affecting efficiency too much. Tang Minjie, if you talk about confidence... yes, I don't have 100% confidence, 80%, 70% Cheng didn't..."

"That's already very high. We are already some of the most organized people in this world...in this era, no matter what, I think..." Tang Minjie paused slightly when he said this, "We...will succeed of…"

Seeing his attitude when he talked about it, Ning Yi laughed, but he didn't refute it. After a while, I took a breath.

"All in all, that's what happened... I was thinking on the way, how to recruit strong men everywhere, and I just heard that you don't want to live anymore, so I suddenly thought, just in time, use waste, you come out and do it Do something."

"I…"

Tang Minjie was subconsciously waiting to refuse, Ning Yi waved his hand, his eyes became serious.

"Don't be naughty." He looked down the mountain ahead, put his hands behind his back, and was silent for a moment, "Internal supervision is the most difficult thing to do now. In the past, the Huaxia Army was united like a monolith, but It also made many people in the company become friends. I can’t say how well they have done in terms of supervision and how to break up these private friendships. If it was really good, there would be no Fang Lu today. It happened. Let me talk about it in depth, your good friend, my new son-in-law, Peng Yueyun is doing this right now, he has my background, the background of the Western Army, he is not afraid of offending people, but he really wants to Do you offend people every day? When will you soften your heart, when will you raise your hand, who knows? I can't guarantee him."

Tang Minjie stood up, not daring to speak.

"On the other hand, this is the most dangerous thing now. We fought with the Jurchens in the past and said the Jurchens were dangerous. What is more dangerous than the Jurchens? To put it bluntly, it is your comrades. If they have People who have been corrupted and regressed in human nature have become people like Fang Lu. When they are investigated, once they take risks, they have to consider whether the investigators can live well.”

"Then Tang Minjie, since you are neither afraid of death nor want to live, I suddenly thought that this might be the most suitable job for you."

On the hills in the afternoon, the sun fell, and Ning Yi said this, and calmly said such a decision. Tang Minjie was silent for a long time, the coldness in his body and the flames in the sun pulled him at the same time, he had almost accepted death, but at this moment, the world seemed to be pulling him again, asking him to contribute the final value. And in the heart,

The tired man seemed to be saying that it was unnecessary, but the last rationality seemed to say: this is reasonable.

It is reasonable to let yourself do it.

"Also... do you want to know about Chen Wenjun and Xi Yin?"

Afterwards, when he heard Ning Yi talking about this topic, Tang Minjie raised his head, and the sun was dazzling on the hillside.

"...In the second half of last year, after making the decision to go north to rescue Mrs. Chen, in order to avoid accidents, I asked a few people to leave for the Kingdom of Jin as soon as possible. Then not long ago, that is, at the beginning of this month, the first group of people from the past team had already Return to Chengdu and report on what happened in the north..."

[In view of the general environment,

"...According to what they said, since Xi Yin's question was brought up in the court of Jin Guochao, it has been nearly a year, and some developments in Yunzhong are also very exciting. Of course, Wanyan Zonghan wants to try his best to keep this old comrade-in-arms, as well as The second-in-command of the West Route Army, but it was impossible. There were several pulls in the court, and Xi Yin was convicted, but he still stayed in the cloud for the whole year. People like Wanyan Zongbi made trouble in the court, and Chen Wenjun With Xi Yin and his wife, during this year, one is still organizing the escape of Han slaves in the Northland, and the other is intercepting and killing all the subordinates of Mrs. Han who escaped from the cloud..."

"...two people, living together—basically under house arrest. On the one hand, they live like a husband and wife. On the other hand, they kill each other's subordinates outside for the sake of the country... This process is romantic and stupid, and it lasts for a long time. For a period of time, our people went in and met Chen Wenjun. I must confess to you that of course she was not doing well. Her two sons did not forgive her. Sometimes people would beat and scold her, and some even wanted to kill This may be seen as her confession to her family, but what I want to emphasize here is: Tang Minjie, you are not the last Han people she saved..."

"...In December last year, Zong Han finally failed to keep Wanyan Xiyin. The poisonous wine sent from Shangjing entered Xiyin's mansion. Wanyan Xiyin probably didn't want to procrastinate, so he drank the wine...Chen Wenjun hasn't yet. Die, she won't come back, and there won't be a good life in the future, but I think, if it's fast enough, maybe one day we will hit the cloud...she's still alive..."

"...As for you, in the last meeting, she only said that what should be said to you has already been said... Then I think it should be the sentence that tells you to come back and use your female agent to benefit the Han people I can’t remember what’s messed up, but you can recall it slowly.”

"...Then, because there is a shortage of people, I don't want to talk to you anymore. After your injury is healed, I will go to Wenpu to report... No, there is no need to wait so long. I will give you two days to clean up and Arrange things here, the day after tomorrow, go to Wenpu to receive orders. People of your age should not rest for too long anyway, go to Peng Yueyun and lead a team to help him, before you accidentally sacrifice... here I'll go work hard."

"...I hope this time... I arranged the right place for you..."

On the hillside, the spring sun was shining warmly, and they had such a conversation, which was a detailed conversation that the master and apprentice had not had for many years. Ning Yi looked at Tang Minjie's slightly hunched but trying to straighten up, stretched out his hand with a complex expression, and patted his shoulder. Tang Minjie stood up again, raised his hand, and saluted.

They returned to the foot of the mountain, and when they were about to part at the end, Ning Yi seemed to think of something and wanted to say something, but finally waved his hand again: "It's not a big deal... After a while, you will know..."

On March 19th, Tang Minjie went to Wenpu to accept his new job. He is very clear about the theory of land reform and the need for supervision in it, and his long-term experience in leading a team in the north also allows him to quickly get started in this area. He quickly devoted himself to this job and joined the This piece of land is in the midst of a wave of innovation.

Only Ning Yi's last hesitating words left him with some doubts in his heart, and this doubt

, It was only after a long time that it was truly untied.

But the clues of the matter happened in May of this year.

That day was May 27th of this year, and the season was already summer. He and his team were verifying the case of land reform. In the evening, his superiors suddenly asked him to pick up a person, saying that it was someone from the team. of new members. Tang Minjie was engrossed in the paperwork, he was confused for a while, and wanted to refuse, but the other party said that he had to be in charge of the arrangements because of the order from his superiors.

I don't know what the relationship is, Tang Minjie thought to himself, and went to the street outside. At this time, it was the evening when dinner was going to be eaten. Zizhou is a big city, and a new public carriage drove up from one side of the street, with figures up and down. Tang Minjie distinguished the people who got on and off the carriage in the setting sun. Soon, he I saw a figure carrying a burden, looking left and right.

Tang Minjie was stunned.

Scanning around, the other party also saw him. At first he was surprised, then he opened his eyes wide, turned into a smiling face, waved vigorously, and ran over.

In the sunset...

...that's Cheng Min.

She has a dignified appearance, and there is a familiar mole on the corner of her mouth, but she almost lost her image when she smiled, her white teeth were all exposed, tears were about to fall, she said: "Why are you, Why is it you... Unexpectedly, you are an acquaintance..."

She bent over laughing.

Tang Minjie blinked blankly, and at some point, he felt water droplets molded on the glasses he wore to read the account books suddenly appeared. He also laughed, not intensely, just lightly, as if it didn't belong to him.

"You... why are you here..."

"I just came back not long ago, the superior asked me to come over and help you..."

Cheng Min said heartily. Her bright voice seemed to melt in the sun.

Tang Minjie did not inquire about the specific process afterwards.

Some things, it took him a few years to understand.

When he came back from Beidi that year, he talked about the process of betraying Chen Wenjun, and also roughly explained all his mental journeys. He briefly mentioned the humiliation he felt after meeting Cheng Min in Shangjing. Soon after, the team in charge of going north to try to rescue Chen Wenjun set off. Ning Yi gave them an order to ask Comrade Cheng Min, who was doing espionage work in Shangjing, to leave work immediately and return to the southwest to report after they went north.

During the three months when he met Fang Lu and was assigned to work, Ning Yi did not tell him the news because Cheng Min had not yet arrived in Chengdu...

This is just a small thing.
