The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s
Tong Xuelu studied him and asked, âHow did it go? Did the two ministers agree to our plan?âSu Yueshenâs eyes beaned. âYes, they did. I came to pick you up to take you to my place so you can help Comrade Du with her disguise.âTong Xueluâs eyes lit up as well when she heard that. âI have given it some thought. I think its best if I go straight to the Prosecutorâs Office to help Comrade Du with her disguise.âSu Yueshen gave it some thought and also nodded. âThatâs not a bad idea. That will allow the Prosecutor Office to have a first-hand look at what we are trying to accomplish.âTong Xuelu did not ride with Su Yueshen. She took her own bicycle and headed over to the Suâs with him. Then they brought all 3 witnesses with them over to the Prosecutor Office.Deputy Director Zheng saw the four individuals that Su Yueshen had brought with him. He looked them over and said, âComrade Tong is here as well? Is she one of the witnesses as well?âTong Xuelu shook her head. âNo, I am here to help with the makeup.âDeputy Director Zheng, âI didnât know that Comrade Tong is so multi-talented. Iâve already had an office set up for you. Iâll have someone take you there.âAn administrator came over and brought them over to the office.Tong Xuelu started immediately on Comrade Duâs makeup.Comrade Du was so nervous that her hand was sweaty. âComrade Tong, I worried that I will mess things up!âTong Xuelu held her hand and looked into her eyes. âI have faith in you. You are such a strong and kind woman!âComrade Du looked at her hands that were held by Tong Xueluâs. She suddenly blushed. âComrade Tong, my heart is pounding all of a sudden when you look at me like this.âTong Xuelu, ââ¦â¦âEm⦠why are you blushing? You donât look right.Yan Yongan was brought into the interrogation room once again.Deputy Director Zheng said to him, âYan Yongan, we received a complaint that you poisoned and killed your own wife. Do you accept these charges?âYan Yongan thought they were going to talk him about the fabricated hero again. But this was entirely unexpected. He didnât know how to react right away.Yan Yonganâs hands shook uncontrollably. âThese are all untrue accusations. I love my life and I had been in despair since her death. What kind of person do you take me for?âDeputy Director Zheng looked at his tremling hands and had a very good idea by now. âItâs okay if you donât admit to it. We always make sure that we have evidences.âHaving said that, he had someone present the evidence and also to bring the witnesses.Yan Yongan stared at the door and he saw a stranger walking in. Walking behind the stranger was his brother-in-law, Du Chuan, Du Meiâs younger brother.The first witness was Wang Fujin.Deputy Director Zheng said, âYou told the public that your wife insisted on visiting the steep cliff but Wang Fu heard with his own ears that it was your idea. Your wife was already tired and did not wish to go. You were the one who insisted on carrying her up the cliff!âWang Fujin nodded. âThatâs exactly it. I was looking for mushrooms inside the forest and also pick up some firewood. I was behind a large tree, which was why the couple did not see me.âI left after I had finished collecting the firewood. As I live further in the village, I had no idea that the female comrade had fallen off the cliff.âIt was Su Yueshen who visited the little village below the cliff and asked to see if anyone had gone to the mountain that day when he made contact with Wang Fujin.Yan Yonganâs lips trembled. âOkay, so Iâve lied about that. I worried that the others will blame me if I had said it was my idea. And the Du family would also hold me responsible. But I did not kill my wife. She had slipped and fell!âDeputy Director Zheng ignored him and turned to look at Du Chuan.
