Xiao Wuzi stepped forward and said to the old blacksmith: "Uncle, let me ask you about someone. Is there a Mongolian named Bayin who is your apprentice? He is tall and strong?"
The old blacksmith did not answer him. Instead, he was a little wary and asked: "Who are you? Why are you asking about him?"
Xiaowuzi had no choice but to tell the truth: "We are friends of Bayin's brother, and we came to see him on his brother's behalf."
The old blacksmith was stunned, "Do you know Bart? He hasn't been back for more than ten years."
Xiaowu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I don't know his Mongolian name, I only know that his name is Ji Hua."
Unexpectedly, the old blacksmith nodded and said that's right. Bart left with his teacher, and his teacher's surname was Ji. "
Bayin probably means wealthy in Mongolian, which is equivalent to wealth in Chinese.
But Bart means hero in Mongolian. The person who named them would never have imagined that Bart became a true patriotic hero, while Bayin did not become rich.
The old blacksmith let them into the house and asked the young apprentice to bring a pot of boiling water and poured a bowl of hot water for each of them. Even without tea, it was warm enough.
Bayin is the old blacksmith's eldest apprentice and has worked for him for more than ten years. The old blacksmith never married and had children, so he raised his apprentice as his own son.
The year before last, I married Bayin to a wife. Unexpectedly, this wife was not a good person. She encouraged Bayin behind his back every day to leave the old blacksmith and start his own business, which made the old blacksmith roll his eyes in anger.
This daughter-in-law is also a Mongolian, her name is Qiqige, she is average-looking, but not too serious, and the neighbors nearby let her hook up with her all over the place.
No, not so long ago, I hooked up with the Japanese again, and had a heated fight with the new Japanese Sheriff Koizumi.
Bayin is an honest and honest man, he only knows how to work in the iron and drink a lot of wine. Apart from these two things, he doesn't care about anything else.
The old blacksmith was so angry that he beat him often, but the old man couldn't beat him anymore. This silly boy was too stubborn.
A few days ago, the woman suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where she went. Then the Japanese came and asked Bayin directly where is your wife? Bayin didn't know who his wife had run away with, so he said he didn't know.
The next day, a group of police came and took Bayin away, saying that he might have murdered his wife.
This was an unforeseen disaster. After Bayin was arrested, he was beaten so hard that there was no good spot on his body. The police just wanted him to admit to killing his wife, but Bayin really didn't do it, so he was locked up in the police station and refused to let him do it. People were not allowed to visit him, but he was not allowed to spend money to ransom him. It must have been the Japanese who put pressure on the police, making them afraid to let Bayin go.
Although Bayin is an honest person, he is good at drinking and has made a few friends. These few friends are also thinking about how to get Bayin out these days.
The old blacksmith was out of options. He had no money and no one. He could only watch his child being wronged. The old man often wiped his tears secretly.
Xiao Wuzi said: "Uncle, don't worry, I'll think of a way. You can help me get to know those friends who know Bayin and ask them to find out who has the final say in this police station? Let's see if we can redeem him?" "
The old blacksmith asked his young apprentice to lead them to a thatched cottage not far from here, where Bayin often drank.
Xiaowuzi and the others followed them into the house. There was only one window in the house, and it was covered with several layers of window paper, making the house dark. Even in the broad daylight, an oil lamp was lit.
There are two plates of pickles on the Kang table. One of the three people on the Kang is holding a pig's claw and gnawing on it, and the other is drinking from two bowls in front of him.
The room was not big, so four more people couldn't stand up when they came in. Erniu and Jin Liang simply turned around and went out, standing at the door to look out for them.
Someone at the table looked up and saw Xiao Wuzi. He stopped all movements as if he had been frozen, and the pig's trotters were still at his mouth.
Xiao Wuzi was also surprised to meet an acquaintance everywhere. This was actually the friend who fled with them at the Jilin Dam.
When Cao Shangfei saw Xiao Wuzi's smile, he knew that he had recognized the right person. He threw the pig's paw on the table, jumped over from the table, and hugged Xiao Wuzi.
"Damn it, am I right? Isn't this the foreman Xiaowuzi? Why are you here? Didn't you leave with Lao Yin and the others?"
This guy got down to the ground with his bare feet and rubbed oil all over Xiao Wuzi.
Xiaowuzi didn't dislike him, patted him on the back and asked him to get on the kang to talk.
Xiao Wuzi was the foreman at the time, so Cao Shangfei had known him before and knew that this kid had a lot of trouble, because everyone had seen with their own eyes that he single-handedly beat the gang of food robbers to a pulp. Therefore, Xiao Wuzi is considered a celebrity on the dam, and even those who are not in Xiao Wuzi's group know Cao Shangfei.
Later, they escaped from the dam together, and they were considered friends of life and death.
Cao Shangfei's hometown is Chaoyang County. A few years ago, he fled to Xinjing to commit crimes. Unexpectedly, he slipped up there and was caught and beaten severely. He was also sent to the dam to suffer.
After he and Lao Yin escaped and crossed the river, Lao Yin went to join Lao Guo and the others. Cao Shangfei said goodbye to Lao Yin, saying that a person like him could not be restrained and would definitely not be able to stay in this kind of team, so he left by himself. Didn’t I just go back to my hometown that I had been away from for a long time?
Xiaowuzi didn't hide it from him. He also knew who Xiaowuzi was. Xiaowuzi briefly talked about what happened after the separation, and said that he knew Bayin's brother. His brother asked him to come and see him before he died. Unexpectedly, But this happened.
Xiaowuzi asked Cao Shangfei what he planned to do?
Cao Shangfei didn't have any good ideas. They all planned to rob the prison. Anyway, he knew how to pick locks and planned to find a time to snatch the guy out of the police station as a last resort.
When Xiao Wuzi arrived, Cao Shangfei suddenly had a backbone and said to Xiao Wuzi: "This is Zhang San'er and this is Lao Nao Da. They are all good buddies. What do you think we should do? We all listen to you." Again. He turned back to the two brothers and said: "This is brother Xiaowuzi, a hero of resistance against Japan. Even though he is young, he has such skill and vision. Our escape from the Jilin Dam was all because of brother Xiaowuzi's plan. Listen, His, that's right.
Xiao Wuzi called Er Niu and Jin Liang in again and introduced them to the two groups. He wanted everyone to come up with ideas, and it was Jin Liang's idea. Educated people have different visions, and sometimes they will Come up with clever ideas.
Xiaowuzi said: "Do you know who has the final say on the police side? I plan to get close to them first and see if I can redeem the person."
Cao Shangfei said: "The director of this police station is called Mazi. We often interact with each other, but this time we are not easy to talk to. I don't know why?"
(You read that right, the smallest police unit in this era was called a police station, and this name was first coined in Japan and has been used until modern times.)
Xiao Wuzi said: "We will go see this big man later. Don't be idle. Go and find out where Bayin is being held. Is the defense tight? We'd better be prepared."
Xiaowuzi and the others went back and changed into police uniforms. They followed the route Cao Shangfei pointed out to them and went to the police station, where they met the director, Ma Zi.
The police chief was quite young, with no pockmarks on his smooth face. He was called Mazi because his surname was Mazi.
Xiaowuzi showed him his ID, but Duzi didn't talk to them in an official tone but gave him a seat and handed him a cigarette. He seemed to be a respectable person.
Xiaowuzi said: "Bayin's brother is the captain of the Special Operations Division of the Xinjing Police Headquarters. He and I are good friends. I was passing by here this time and was asked by a friend to come and see him. I didn't expect this. He was still arrested? I hope Director Ma will give him some face and let us take a look at him, or pay a deposit and release him first."
Director Ma whispered to them: "We are all colleagues, and I won't hide it from you. We all know that Bayin was unjust. Some friends from all walks of life have come to me, hoping to let him go, but now there is a Japanese person on top." If he doesn't do it, he has to be tortured to death. Brother, I can't help it. There are people above who are suppressing him and dare not let him go!
It's hard for you to come here. Brother should be given some face. You go and see him and get some delicious food. "
Xiaowuzi and the other three finally met Ji Hua's younger brother. Like Ji Hua, he was tall and burly, but he looked more upright and younger than Ji Hua. But it was obvious at a glance that they were brothers, both in appearance and figure. picture.
At this time, they were beaten all over and bruised, and they were wearing shackles on their feet. They were sitting on the haystack. They looked like police officers who were on guard.
Xiaowuzi and Erniu handed him the roasted chicken and pig head meat they bought outside and a bottle of white wine. When he saw the wine, his eyes lit up.
Xiaowuzi said: "I'm from Xinjing. I'm your brother's friend. I came to see you on your brother's behalf. What's going on? Can you tell me?"
As soon as Bayin heard about his brother, he said eagerly: "My brother, where is my brother? He hasn't come back for more than ten years. We all thought he was gone? How is he now? Is he okay? ?”
Xiao Wuzi really couldn't bear to tell him that Ji Hua was dead. He just said that Ji Hua worked in the police station and was too busy with things. He was passing by and came to check on him.
But Bayin cried, wiping his tears and said: "What's the use of being a policeman? If his own brother is unjustly accused at home, he can't take care of it, and his brother will be unjustly killed!"
Xiaowuzi had no choice but to persuade him: "Brother, don't worry, I'm trying to save you right now. Eat something first. Even if you run, you still have the strength to run, right?"
Wait for me and I will definitely get you out. "
The three of them returned home and started researching what to do?
The biggest obstacle now is the Japanese. Xiao Wuzi looked at Er Niu, and Er Niu looked at him, and both of them came up with the same idea.
Xiaowuzi went to find Fei Caoshang and others again and asked them to help find out the Japanese Koizumi's residential address, living habits, and work and rest time.
Of course Cao Shangfei knew what he meant, so he went out with the two brothers. They are all local snakes and have their own news channels.
