Chapter 272 275 [Japanese Revenge]

The Japanese suffered a great loss and had not yet found the right owner. Naturally, they became angry from embarrassment and spread their anger on the entire city.

The whole city is under martial law, and there is a large-scale search and arrest, vowing to find out this horrible anti-Japanese element.

Li Yong is an accountant who works in a trading company and earns a meager salary to support his family.

These days, the prices of all kinds of daily necessities are rising, especially food.The white flour and rice that the family used to eat has now turned into sweet potatoes and corn, and meat is no longer even thought about. Each of them can't scrape two ounces of oil in their stomachs, and they are almost becoming malnourished.

However, living under the rule of the Japanese, they will encounter disasters from time to time.

This morning, the police closed the streets and set up guard posts at various intersections. A combination of a policeman, a spy and a gendarmerie knocked on doors and searched every house.

Not long after, they came to his door.Li Yong didn't dare to resist, and handed over the good citizen certificate to the policeman with a smile on his face, "Master policeman, we are good citizens, very good citizens."

The policeman was in charge of this area, and he had a somewhat impression of the people who lived in this area. Seeing that their couple and children were there, he planned to let them go to the next house without hiding.

But the secret agent refused, "Hey, why does he look so familiar to me? His height and body shape are very similar to the anti-Japanese elements of that day..."

The spy's tone was very long, and the second half of the sentence was pressed in his mouth, ready to go, and the inadvertent rubbing of his hands hinted at something.

Li Yong understood what the spy wanted for a bribe. He thought that the money was hard-won, and the family of three would be miserable, so save it.And these guys shouldn't be so unscrupulous, and it shouldn't matter if they don't pay.

So he pretended not to know, and still swore: "My lords, my lords, the little ones are big good citizens, all the residents around here can testify for me, and all my colleagues in the company can also testify for me!"

The secret agent got impatient when he didn't get the money, and snorted coldly at him, accompanied Xiaoxin and said to the military police standing next to him: "My lord, the person who takes the certificate of a good citizen is not necessarily a good citizen, he is very similar to the anti-Japanese elements that day, how about Capture him!"

These Japanese gendarmes have been in China for a long time, and gradually exposed their greedy and lustful nature.This time they were sent out, so aggressively searched from house to house, and they also had the intention of making a fortune.

The dog spy has dealt with them a lot, and as soon as he showed this intention, the two hit it off and worked together.

The dog agents rely on human power and are responsible for making crimes and collecting money, while the military police back them up and arrest people if they disagree.

Unlucky Li Yong, before he understood the situation, was caught in the prison amidst the cries of his wife and children.

But when he arrived in the prison in a state of embarrassment, he realized that he was not the only one who was unlucky.The prison is already overcrowded. A room that could have accommodated a few people has now been locked up by more than a dozen, and there is not even a place to lie down and sleep.

He who had just been imprisoned could not adapt to this environment at all, nor could he adapt to such ups and downs in his mood, so he squatted in the corner alone, silently in a daze.

At noon, everyone was given a bowl of food that was as dark as pig food, and a bowl of soup that looked like swill with rotten vegetable leaves. This was Li Yong's first meal in prison.

He carefully discerned that the bowl of black rice seemed to be moldy grain, and he didn't know if it was poisonous, but there was a high chance of diarrhea.

That bowl of soup was really shabu-shabu water, a few rotten vegetable leaves were thrown at random, and there was a sour smell.

But he still had to endure nausea and eat such pig food.Because he had no choice, he had to eat if he didn't want to starve to death, and he wanted to go back alive to meet his wife and son.

It is his belief to survive, no matter how hard it is, he has to suffer.

And inadvertently, he also saw someone finishing his portion and staring at his bowl of dark pig food and swallowing, probably because he was extremely hungry.

In the afternoon, a tall man in the cell spoke to him: "My friend, what did you do before, why did you get caught?"

Li Yong answered truthfully, and asked back, "Why were you arrested?"

"It's all the same reason."

The tall man was very talkative, and I told him many things.

He was the first to come in this cell and had communicated with many people.The people in this cell, basically all of them had roughly the same reason, were implicated by a legendary anti-Japanese element, and were arrested under the name of an anti-Japanese element.

Gao Yong couldn't help complaining after hearing this: "Isn't it good to live well? Why did you resist the Japanese, and we were all implicated and arrested. My daughter is only 7 years old. I can't bear it!"

The tall man didn't respond to his complaints. Everyone here had similar thoughts. After all, it doesn't feel good to be implicated for no reason.

But during the meal just now, he communicated with the prison guards who distributed the prison meals, and got a lot of useful information.

He called everyone in front of him, and said mysteriously: "Hey, brothers are all in the same cell, it's also a kind of fate, don't say I didn't take care of you.

This time we were implicated by a particularly powerful military command agent. That person was really awesome. He single-handedly blew up the headquarters of Agent 76 and killed many military police.

The Japanese wanted to catch him, so they launched this city-wide manhunt.

But we little shrimps, it's all because those gendarmes and spies who arrested people wanted to make money and arrested us to extort money.

So you don't have to worry about your own safety.Someone will come to register tomorrow morning, so you should be mentally prepared in advance.At that time, send a message to the family, pool the money together, and hand it over to the middleman the prison guard said, and we will be released. "

A fat man asked loudly: "Brother, how much does this cost?"

His problem is also everyone's problem, and everyone is looking at the tall man eagerly.

But the tall man made a gesture and reprimanded: "Don't shout, it's not good for others to hear you."

He whetted everyone's appetites, and then said unhurriedly: "I heard from the prison guards that those like us who are not suspected are not expensive, and can be released for 50 yuan each."

"Ah, so many?"

Everyone made similar noises, feeling that the money was too much.

Li Yong is also among them. He can calculate that it is a relatively decent job, and he can get 20 yuan a month.This is already two and a half months of his salary.

But it's impossible for him to save money without eating or drinking, right?
In such years and months, it is already a blessing to earn enough money to keep the whole family from starving to death.

There are only a dozen yuan left in his family's savings. If he wants to take out 50 yuan, he has to sell his property or even sell his house.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he had known that he had given the spy two yuan, he wouldn't have been caught.

The tall man also heard their dissatisfaction, and explained to them: "Don't think it's too much, for those people who are further inside the cell, at least 100 yuan per person is not negotiable.

And don't take chances, because you keep arresting people inside, there is no room for you to live in this cell.

Those who don't pay will either enter the Huangpu River or be buried in a mass grave in the northern suburbs of the city. You can wait and see. "

Everyone stopped talking, thinking about it dully.

After a difficult night, Li Yong was awakened by the sound of heavy footsteps.He opened his bloodshot and red eyes, and saw a scene that he will never forget in his life.

A long procession continued to leave the cell, many of them had blood-red welts on their bodies, obviously they had been tortured.

After a long time, when the long line had passed by, the prison guard guarding the door of their cell said to them, "Don't look, those people are going to be dragged out and shot. If you don't want to be treated like this, they will be caught right away." This is an opportunity to send news to the family, otherwise..."

No one wants the consequences of doing otherwise.

The tall man swallowed, the flesh on his face trembled, and said nervously: "There are more than 200 people here, what a crime!"

When he got home, when Li Yong mentioned the experience of those two days, he felt as if he had been in a lifetime.

As far as he later learned, those people were only a part of it.During this massacre, thousands of people were killed, and several thousand graves were added to the mass graves.

But if he complained about the anti-Japanese agent, he didn't seem to be able to complain.

Is it wrong to say that he resisted the Japanese?
Unless the Japanese are driven away, everyone will have to live under this precarious rule.

So it is right to resist Japan.

But it would be right to blame him.

Because if he didn't hurt the Japanese, the Japanese wouldn't make such an act of revenge.

How should it be calculated?

Authorities are confused.
