Chapter 106: Catching spies
Seeing Su Mo mention spies, Lu Changzheng's expression also became serious. He asked Su Mo a few more questions. Su Mo tried hard to recall and told her everything she saw.
After talking about the spies, Su Mo changed the subject, "Changzheng, I want to tell you about my family."
Lu Changzheng immediately sat up straight. His wife was finally willing to tell him. Did he pass the test of his wife?
"My family is a capitalist family. My grandfather started to support our party during the war. He is considered a very famous red capitalist in Hai City..." Su Mo summarized the family affairs to Lu Changzheng.
But in terms of money, he only talked about the passbook, and didn't say anything about the things buried under the secret room. After all, money can be taken out openly, but the things in the secret room cannot be seen in public at all.
"Those people got the news from somewhere and thought that the Su family still had a lot of wealth hidden, so they became greedy, so they framed my father and brought them to the Revolutionary Committee, hoping to torture them to find out the whereabouts of the things."
"Fortunately, my grandfather had done a lot of good deeds before, and those people remembered the previous kindness and privately helped my parents to be safely sent here."
"However, even after they came here, those people still didn't stop."
"You should know that two spies came to the mountains some time ago and were killed by wild boars, right? Those two people were not spies in fact, but those people's minions. They came here to capture my parents and force them to tell the whereabouts of the things."
Hearing this, Lu Changzheng's eyes flashed coldly. Those people found this place, so his wife was not safe either. Once the father-in-law and mother-in-law could not get anything out of him, they would definitely go to his wife.
"So, my dad was so nervous when he saw you. He probably thought you were a lackey from Haishi."
After hearing what his wife said, Lu Changzheng also understood the reasons for the abnormal behavior of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Wife, are the other people in the cowshed reliable?"
"The old man inside is called Zhang Zhen. He is the former mayor of Hai City and a good friend of my grandfather. He is absolutely reliable. The young man is Grandpa Zhang's secretary. He came here specially to take care of him. Grandpa Zhang trusts him very much. The other couple is a professor at a university in Jing City. They should also be trustworthy."
"I've been there several times. So far, there has been no problem."
Lu Changzheng:...
This wife is so brave. She has been there several times in such a short time.
"Wife, you should write a letter and explain the cause of the matter clearly. I will give it to Dad. Then they provided the clues for pretending to be spies. After the spies are caught, I will try to get them some rewards, even if it's just a pot. I saw that they use clay pots to cook."
Su Mo was very surprised, "Don't they have a pot?" She always went to her parents' room and never went to the stove.
Lu Changzheng shook his head, "Wife, don't worry, I will find a way to get it for them. Don't go there again during this period of time." Don't let his soldiers catch his wife.
Prisoners still have a chance to make meritorious service. The people in the cowshed provided clues and assisted in catching the spies. It's okay to give them some rewards.
Su Mo nodded. She had sent so many things over yesterday, and she was planning to leave after a while. She
returned to the room and took out a pen and paper. Su Mo picked up the pen and began to write a letter. She tried to imitate the original owner's handwriting as much as possible.
After Lu Changzheng finished eating, he looked around the two rooms and found that with a wife, this house really looked like a home.
A large shelf was added to the west room, which was filled with food. Their bedroom was also tidied up. His wife was very romantic and planted several potted plants.
But he always felt that the potted plant was very familiar. He couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and finally found something wrong.
"Wife, you, you are not planting wild ginseng, are you?"
Su Mo looked up and said, "Yes." Her tone was as calm as if there was a cabbage there.
Lu Changzheng was a little confused. In this day and age, are there so many wild ginsengs that you can take them home to plant? The key is that they are planted in clay pots.
"This, can this be planted?"
"Yes, it grows well." In this kind of thing, the more casual you act, the less likely others will notice the clues.
"Hey! It really is." Lu Changzheng walked around the clay pots. It's true that they grow well. Even in the winter, there are no fallen leaves.
Could it be that wild ginseng actually likes to stay in clay pots?
No wonder his grandfather wrote to him and said that his mother said Momo was a lucky star. It seems to be true.
It's hard for others to find a single wild ginseng, but his family has planted four in their house.
"Wife, don't let anyone see your ginseng." There are many red-eyed monsters in the village. Don't be reported. Not only will you have to hand in the things, but you will also be criticized.
"Don't worry, I don't let anyone else into our house."
She put it in a place where it couldn't be seen from the back window. Now it was winter, and the windows were closed tightly.
After Su Mo finished writing the letter, she folded it several times and handed it to Lu Changzheng.
Lu Changzheng took the letter and prepared to leave. When he passed the stove, he stopped and said, "Wife, can I pack some buns to take with me? Those bastards are in the mountains and haven't eaten yet."
Su Mo naturally agreed. She took a clean cloth bag, asked the number of people, and picked up two buns for each person.
Lu Changzheng left happily with the cloth bag. It was also a blessing for those bastards to taste his wife's cooking.
It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and Su Mo was ready to go to bed, when the brigade suddenly became lively.
Su Mo quickly put on her clothes and got off the kang, and walked to the yard to see what was going on, and then she saw Li Yue'e hurried over.
"Xiao Mo, hurry up, go back to the house, the police and the armed forces are here to catch spies."
Su Mo was shocked, "The spies are in our brigade?" "
How would I know? Anyway, many people have come, and your father has been called over. Don't be afraid, mom will come to accompany you. Let's go back to the house first, don't sleep yet, someone will probably come to check in a while."
After entering the house and getting on the kang, Li Yue'e saw that Su Mo was very calm, as if she knew it in advance.
"Did you know that someone would come to catch spies?"
Su Mo nodded, "Yes, Changzheng came back this afternoon."
"What? He came back?" Li Yue'e was very shocked. What the hell, he only came back to see his wife, and didn't even go to see his parents.
Su Mo touched her nose and made an excuse for Lu Changzheng: "He was hungry, so he came back to get food, and then he went up the mountain."
"I made a few steamed buns this afternoon, thinking I would send some to you in the evening, but they were all taken away by him."
Li Yue'e waved her hands, feeling a little distressed, "We are not in trouble, we can eat often. It's not easy for them, it's freezing cold in the mountains, and they don't have anything to eat."
"Mom also made a lot of steamed buns today, I will bring them to you tomorrow, and if he comes back to get food, you can steam them for him."
"Okay." Su Mo did not refuse, mainly because she had no cornmeal, and it would be too extravagant to use all white flour.
"Xiao Mo, did the third brother say why he came to catch spies?" Li Yue'e asked in a low voice.
"I heard that a spy's lair was found on the mountain. The armed forces that ambushed last night found the spy, but didn't catch him. He escaped, so every brigade came to search."
"Oh, what's going on? The days were just getting better, and this happened again." Li Yue'e slapped her thigh, "Why didn't the wild boar kill all the spies? What's the point of leaving one behind?"
