Chapter 1251 Zuo Mingyue's True Identity
Zhang Wenyuan tapped the table with his finger and said disdainfully.
"You don't follow organizational procedures? Then what makes you think you can do things this way? If everyone acted like you, what would be the point of having an organization?"
Da Bao snorted coldly, staring intently at Zhang Wenyuan and Pan Qingming.
"You ask me what I rely on to get things done? I'll tell you, I rely on my conscience. Organizational procedures are important, but conscience is more important than anything else."
Zhang Wenyuan was unwilling to continue arguing on this issue. In fact, most of the high-ranking officials agreed with Da Bao leaving the grain for the villagers without permission. They had all experienced the famine years and hunger accompanied them during the Long March. They knew what hunger felt like.
So this issue is just a starting point; the real issue is between Macau and Hong Kong.
"Okay, we can talk about this later. Qin Dabao, now explain to the organization what position you hold in Haojiang."
Da Bao absolutely cannot explain the affairs of Macau and Hong Kong clearly, otherwise even more people will covet them.
He pretended to be confused and asked Zhang Wenyuan a question in return.
“What was my status in Macau? What status could I possibly have? My mission at the time was to rescue Comrade Yu Zecheng, so I was transferred from Macau to Hong Kong in just a few short days. What status could I possibly have?”
Zhang Wenyuan sneered.
"Qin Dabao, I thought we were all sensible people, and there was no need to explain everything in detail. Regarding your every move in Macau and Hong Kong, the local organizations have been reporting to us, so the organizations know what you have done."
The organization just wants your attitude, and this attitude can determine your life or death, so you'd better take it seriously.
I'll ask you one more time: what exactly did you do in Macau? You must now give a truthful account of everything.
Da Bao picked at his ear and said with a smile.
“I stayed in Hong Kong for one night, or rather, I hid in a warehouse at the dock. I boarded a ship the next day and went to Hong Kong. Then I found Yu Zecheng at the address given to me by the organization.”
Zhang Wenyuan was waiting for Da Bao to continue, but Da Bao stopped. After a while, Pan Qingming asked.
"Go on."
Da Bao answered in surprise.
"You've said everything, what else is there to say?"
"Speak, are you done?"
Zhang Wenyuan and Pan Qingming finally realized that Da Bao was playing a trick on them. They were so angry that their noses were crooked. Zhang Wenyuan said through gritted teeth.
"Qin Dabao, don't think that just because you don't say anything, I can't do anything to you. Don't forget that you have family and friends, and these people are not as stubborn as you!"
To tell you the truth, the leadership has given you instructions to hand over the channels in Macau and Hong Kong, and then confess. We will follow the instructions and sentence you to ten years in prison.
You're only twenty years old this year, and you'll be thirty in ten years. You have a lot of wonderful years ahead of you. We assure you, as long as you behave well, we won't harm your family and friends.
Otherwise..."
Zhang Wenyuan flung open the door, and a heart-wrenching scream echoed down the hallway. Da Bao's face immediately darkened; he recognized Xie Ming's voice.
Among his subordinates and friends, Xie Ming had the weakest background and was the easiest to exploit.
Da Bao slowly stood up, staring intently at Zhang Wenyuan. Zhang Wenyuan couldn't help but take a half step back and pointed at Da Bao, shouting.
"What are you doing? What are you trying to do? Qin Dabao, I'm warning you, we are representing the organization and we are talking to you. Don't make a mistake."
Da Bao spoke to Zhang Wenyuan and Pan Qingming, word by word.
"I always try not to go too far, but I never expected you to be so despicable. Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
At this moment, a policeman ran in and handed a piece of paper to Zhang Wenyuan. Zhang Wenyuan took it and was immediately overjoyed.
He looked at Da Bao with a forced, insincere smile on his face.
"Qin Dabao, I have good news for you. Our people have gone to arrest your wife..."
He shook the paper in his hand.
"After a thorough investigation, we discovered that your wife Zuo Mingyue's parents are not dead. They faked their deaths and fled abroad under assumed names. Do you know what this means? This is collusion with foreign powers. You're completely finished this time. Unless you sever ties with your wife, the two of you should prepare to go to Ningguta to reclaim wasteland and farm."
Da Bao's expression changed; it seemed his guess was true. Zuo Mingyue's grandparents: her grandfather was named Zuo Jingtang, and her grandmother was from the Western Regions and named Gulixiamu.
His son, Zuo Mingyue's father, was named Zuo Wenbin. His maternal lineage remains unknown. During the anti-Japanese counter-offensive in 1942, Zuo Wenbin led his staff in a heroic sacrifice to protect the headquarters and hospital. Zuo Mingyue's mother also died in the same battle.
However, at that time they were within the enemy's encirclement, and it was impossible to send people to collect the bodies. Therefore, she was designated a martyr, and Zuo Mingyue was adopted by Li Baoguo, a comrade-in-arms of Zuo Jingtang and Gulixiamu.
Da Bao has always had doubts about this part of history. First of all, how could Zuo Jingtang, a man from Hebei, marry a woman from the Western Regions? You know, the Western Regions had strong ethnic concepts, and they rarely intermarried with Han people in those days.
However, this question can be answered in a far-fetched way: that they were mutually in love, and for love, Gulixiamu escaped from the Western Regions and married Zuo Zongtang.
Secondly, there was Zuo Wenbin. Da Bao had once retrieved Zuo Wenbin's materials from the General Staff and seen his photo. He was a very handsome and thin young man, but he didn't resemble Zuo Mingyue at all.
Originally, the reason why the father and daughter did not look alike could be attributed to Zuo Mingyue's mother. It is natural for a daughter to resemble her mother, and no one dared to doubt this. However, Da Bao found no genetic evidence that Zuo Mingyue inherited Zuo Wenbin's features.
So Da Bao has a bold guess: In 1941, Zuo Wenbin was in charge of the underground organization in Shanghai. At that time, he must have encountered something and brought back a child from somewhere. He claimed to the outside world that she was his daughter with someone else, and that she was Zuo Mingyue.
In Macau and Hong Kong, Zuo Mingyue was mistaken for the fallen noblewoman Princess Sofia, which at least shows that he and Princess Sofia looked very similar. Da Bao also checked and found that Princess Sofia lived from 1939 to 1942, a period of history that is blank.
So, is it possible that Sophia was also in Shanghai at the time, encountered danger, and had no choice but to entrust her child to Zuo Wenbin? Later, due to the war, they lost contact with each other, and Zuo Wenbin also disappeared in 1942. From then on, the truth of this matter was lost to the world.
