In August 1943, under the leadership of the Statistics Bureau of the Accounting and Accounting Department of the National Government, a census was launched in Chongqing, Huayang, Wenjiang, Pixian, Xindu, Xinfan, Pengxian, Shuangliu, and Chongning in Sichuan.
Historically known as the "Nine-County Household Census".
This is the second large-scale household census in Sichuan history.
Just last year, Meng Shaoyuan proposed and Dai Li reported to leaders for approval to launch a census in Chongqing.
The military commander set up a coordination office to cooperate with the investigation.
This census in Chongqing uncovered a large number of Japanese special forces and traitors, which contributed to the consolidation of the rear area.
Immediately, the SC Provincial County Selection Household Census Committee was formally established, with Wu Dajun as the chairman.
The first resolution passed after the establishment of the Provincial Population Census Committee was to further implement the "reorganization of Baojia and the establishment of Baojia household registration census" based on the previous household census.
The so-called reorganization of Baojia refers to the work of handling joint settlements, filling in and issuing household registration cards, formulating Baojia regulations, etc.
As the capital, Chongqing was the first to start this work.
To this end, the Popularization Committee specially set up a large-scale investigation office, striving to register everyone living in Chongqing.
Therefore, registration officers wearing uniforms and riding bicycles can be seen almost everywhere on the streets of Chongqing.
Since this started in August of this year, it has also become a unique scenery on the streets of Chongqing.
…
Mid-September 1943.
The weather is still muggy, but it's better than last month.
Tong Lan opened the door.
Outside, standing was a stranger.
"Who are you?"
Tong Lan asked doubtfully.
"My surname is Su, Su Junwen. Daniel Wu asked me to come here."
"Azu?"
Tong Lan was surprised and happy: "Where are the others?"
"Take the children and follow me immediately." Su Junwen did not answer directly: "Otherwise, it will be too late."
Of course Tong Lan knew how powerful Jin Zhuxuan was.
Besides, a few days ago, Azu had already told him to prepare everything and be ready to run away at any time.
Tong Lan has been waiting there for a long time.
Su Junwen had no expression on his face as he helped Tong Lan move his luggage to the car outside: "That's all?"
"Well, that's all."
"Let's go."
At Su Junwen's urging, Tong Lan took the child and got into the car together.
…
During this time, Luo Yazhi was really irritable.
Accidents happened one after another.
Now, even the money from stolen supplies from Wulong Warehouse has disappeared.
She always suspected that it was her brother who did it.
But Jin Zhuxuan refused to admit that there was nothing she could do.
She wanted to go with Meng Shaoyuan.
But she also knew that no matter where she went, it would cost a lot of money.
The money earned over the years is all in the Good Hope Company. With the investigation of Good Hope, it cannot be withdrawn for a while.
Luo Yazhi calculated the money she had on hand and decided to go abroad with her lover for two or three years at most.
What next?
Originally, it was pointed at Wulong, but now?
"Wei Mengjie, come in."
Wei Mengjie is the only person she trusts besides Meng Shaoyuan.
Luo Yazhi took out a briefcase from the cabinet: "Give this to Meng Shaoyuan."
"Okay." Wei Mengjie took the briefcase: "Yazhi, why don't you go by yourself?"
"I still have something to do." Luo Yazhi smiled: "I will go see him when the matter is settled."
…
"This is where?"
The car stopped and Tong Lan got out of the car with the child.
All she knew was that the car had been driving for a long time.
But where is this?
There was a man about the same age as Su Junwen, already waiting there.
"I still have something to do. I need someone else to drive, and it's him."
Su Junwen said calmly: "Don't worry, the person escorting you is also a good friend of Daniel Wu, and will send you to Guizhou for proper placement."
"Tell me, where is Azu?" Tong Lan vaguely seemed to feel that something was going to happen to Azu.
"Wu Yanzu, missing."
Su Junwen fabricated a white lie.
For a moment, Tong Lan turned pale, swayed, and almost fell to the ground.
"I'm going to find Azu, I'm going to find Azu." Tong Lan cried.
Jin Chengrui hugged his mother and cried "Wow".
"Take the child away first."
Su Junwen gave instructions to his companions who came over, and then said to Tong Lan: "Ms. Tong, calm down, you know better than us what kind of person Jin Zhuxuan is, and there is no way you can find Daniel Wu.
Before Daniel Wu disappeared, he asked me to tell you that Hong Kong will be liberated soon. Take your children and go to Hong Kong. We are responsible for finding his whereabouts here. One day, you will see him. "
Then, he took a bag from the passenger seat and put it in Tong Lan's hand: "This is what Daniel Wu asked me to give to you."
Bag, heavy.
Tong Lan opened it and saw that there were gold bars, gold jewelry, and some pounds inside.
Azu is just an ordinary person. He asked himself if he had borrowed money before. Where did he get this?
"You, who are you?" Tong Lan seemed to have vaguely guessed something.
"We are all a group of people with dreams." Su Junwen said calmly: "Don't ask anymore, remember, go to Hong Kong. Maybe one year, maybe ten, twenty years, but since that person promised you, I will definitely come to you."
…
Tong Lan left.
I left with sadness, loneliness, and hope.
What she didn't know was that when she and her children were leaving in a car, her "Azu" appeared.
"gone."
Watching the car leave, Su Junwen said: "At least, you gave her hope."
"People live for hope." Meng Shaoyuan seemed a little sad: "I feel sorry for many women, but this is Tong Lan's best choice."
"Sir, why don't you take them with you?" Su Junwen asked a question.
Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a moment and said: "Her child Jin Chengrui is five years old, almost six years old, and he already understands many things. One day, he will know that his father died in my hands.
No matter how miserable the father is, the father is the father. He will hate me and it will even affect his future life. In this case, let me disappear from his life. "
"Sir, are you making excuses for yourself?"
Su Junwen actually imitated Li Zhifeng and questioned the superior.
Meng Shaoyuan was startled, then laughed: "You have all been led astray by Li Zhifeng, and now you are not even afraid of having your salary deducted. Yes, maybe I am looking for an excuse, but this excuse is at least a kind of comfort."
Su Junwen also smiled: "Tong Lan was sent away, but Jin Zhuxuan still doesn't know that all his evidence has fallen into your hands. Sir, we are ready to go with you. Bracing for the storm!”
"let's go!"
Meng Shaoyuan put away his smile and said calmly:
"I still firmly believe in that sentence, there is always a right way in the world, and light in this world always prevails over darkness!"
