In March 1950, a letter of accusation was placed on the desk of Luo Ruiqing, Minister of Public Security. The writers were Wang Congwu, Vice Minister of the Organization Department, Jia Qian, President of the Criminal Tribunal of the Supreme People's Court , and Vice Minister of Labor Yu Guanghan, deputy secretary of Renmin University Nie Zhen and other officials.
They jointly reported a traitor named Wu Lantian and hoped to arrest him. "You want to see him alive, you want to see his body when you die."
The report letter listed Wu Landian's various crimes, the most eye-catching of which was that this person had personally killed many leaders of our underground organizations and seduced many female cadres.
After reading the report letter, Luo Ruiqing took action and ordered an investigation.
However, it was not until 1957 that he fell into the French Open.
What is intriguing is that when he was arrested, he was not hiding in a remote place, but living in the metropolis Shanghai.
What kind of person is Wu Lantian? With so many cadres reporting him, what will be his fate in the end?
In 1911, Wu Lantian was born in a well-off family in Huaxian County, Henan Province.
's superior family conditions gave him the opportunity to receive an education. He completed primary school, middle school, and university, and became a well-known "scholar".
His father is a well-known local tycoon. He hopes that his son will inherit his father's business and carry forward the Wu family's business. But he became a rebel and joined the Communist Youth League at Kaifeng First Normal School at the age of 17. When
was 18 years old (1929), Wu Lantian joined the organization and became the first organizational member of Hua County .
In 1931, Wu Lantian served as the secretary of the Wagang branch in Hua County and was the earliest branch in Hua County.
This was the most difficult period of the revolution, when white terror shrouded the country.
This also shows that when young Wu Lantian first joined the revolution, there were no problems.
In 1936, Wu Lantian served as secretary of Huaxian County.
If there were no subsequent deterioration, Wu Landian should have become a provincial and ministerial level cadre after the founding of New China.
However, Wu Lantian stumbled on the word "color" halfway.
This person has a colorful heart. He had no conditions in the past. After becoming the "head", he became a little drifting, his thoughts began to degenerate, and he messed with the relationship between men and women.
Wu Lantian's parents got him engaged when he was 15 years old, and he had a wife at home.
Fa's wife is kind and hardworking, and she is filial to her parents at home.

However, he concealed these facts and pursued Chen Keqin, a female cadre in Hua County, and coaxed her into her possession with sweet words. In fact, due to various reasons, it is not an isolated case that he broke up with his first wife after joining the revolution, but most of them were due to regrets caused by being far away from home after joining the revolution and not knowing whether the other party was alive or dead.
But Wu Lantian abandoned his first wife at his own doorstep and concealed his marriage history, which was of a different nature.
Even so, if Wu Landian's feelings are single-minded after his new marriage, it can also explain the past. After all, arranged marriages in old-style families lack feelings.
But Wu Lantian is a playboy, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.
Not long after, the novelty of Chen Keqin wore off, and he began to associate with a cadre named Wang from the Yongnian County Women's Rescue Association.
Wu Lantian was handsome, educated, eloquent, and held a leadership position. He wrote letters and dated, coaxing the female cadre into confusion and becoming his prisoner.
There is no airtight wall in the world . Not long after, the scandal reached the ears of his wife Chen Keqin.
They had just gotten married, and the red 囍 characters had not yet faded, but something like this happened. This made Chen Keqin intolerable. He went to the office many times to catch her, causing a storm in the city and causing a very bad impact. The leaders of the local prefectural committee learned about it. .
Prefectural committee leader Wang Congwu talked to Wu Landian and said to him earnestly: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades are all working hard, but you are trying to engage in relations between men and women. This is not okay."
Wu Landian was ashamed and embarrassed by what he said. , he immediately wrote a review to the organization, saying that he would repent of his past mistakes and hoped that the organization would give him a chance to correct his mistakes.
However, Wu Landian could no longer extricate himself. He said one thing and acted another, and started an underground love affair with another female cadre named Ji.
Moreover, this female cadre is also famous and has a wife, so she originally had a partner.
This time, the impact is even worse.
At this time, Yu Guanghan, the Organization Minister of the Southern Hebei District Committee, came to Northern Henan for inspection. When he heard about this incident, he was furious: Black sheep will never be allowed to exist in our team and should be severely punished. The
organization publicly criticized Wu Landian and ordered him to conduct a public review.
However, considering that he is relatively young and in line with the purpose of treating diseases and saving people, he has been retained in his position to observe the effects.
The female cadre who had an affair with Wu Landian was also transferred to the Anti-Japanese Salvation Association, so that if the two were not together, there would be no chance for them to interact.

Wu Lantian saw that the organization was taking serious action. He also learned the lesson and began to work hard and was recognized by his superiors.
But as time went by, his nature was hard to change, and he launched an "attack" on a target. He wrote many love poems, but others ignored him.
Later, he sought death and survival, using a multi-pronged approach.
This female cadre couldn't stand Wu Lantian's stalking, so she fell into his arms again.
Wang Congwu went to Yan'an to study soon, and Wu Landian became even more confident and openly lived with the female cadre.
Xin Xihua, the new secretary of the prefectural committee, learned about the situation and took it very seriously and decided to deal with it seriously.
Wu Lantian was very alert. He smelled the danger and fled immediately.
However, he did not go to other places, and still wandered around this area. In April 1939, he was captured by the Henan North Brigade of the Military Division and was sent to the southern Hebei District for processing.
Wu Lantian was scared, knowing that there would be no good fruit to eat at that time, so he found an opportunity halfway and fled.
Not only that, he did not forget to take his lover away when he absconded, hid in enemy-occupied territory, rented a house, and began to have sex with each other.
Prefectural Party Committee Secretary Xin Xihua felt that the situation was serious and reported to Liu Hansheng, political commissar of the Third Brigade of the Hebei, Shandong and Yu detachment, hoping to capture him.
Because Wu Lantian has rich experience in underground work and is shrewd and capable, once such a person surrenders to the enemy, he may cause serious losses.
Liu Hansheng tried his best to trap him, but Wu Landian was only engaging in promiscuous relations between men and women at that time, and there was no rebellion. It was not a capital crime, so he could only be temporarily imprisoned.
Later, under the guidance of relatives and friends, Wu Lantian felt regretful and expressed his repentance to Nie Yuanang, the liaison officer of the Huaxian County Party Committee and Nie Zhen's brother: If I were allowed to return to the team, even if I was allowed to be a groom, it would be fine.
Wang Congwu, who had returned to the prefectural committee, wrote to Wu Lantian with the attitude of treating illnesses and saving lives, saying: "As long as you cut off contact with that woman, you can be the education section chief."
However, the Third Regiment of the Eighth Route Army's Eastward Column Not knowing Wang Congwu's instructions, he was captured and escorted to the custody of the Henan North Brigade.
Wu Lantian was frightened and ran away again when he went to the toilet.
Soon after, Nie Yuanang met Wu and Chen again at a gathering in Hengcun, Liugu Town, Hua County.
Nie Yuanang criticized Wu Lantian: "You already have two, why are you not satisfied and want a third one?"
Wu Lantian asked: "Didn't you also find another one?"
Nie Yuanang said: " I'm different from you. I'm not in a good relationship and I'm legally divorced..." The two of them broke up on bad terms. After
broke up, Nie Yuanang reported to the prefectural committee. Secretary Zhao of the prefectural committee immediately sent troops to Wu Landian's residence and captured him again.
But on the way back from being escorted, Wu Landian escaped for the last time and returned home.
At this time, his uncle who was a traitor happened to be visiting, and he persuaded Wu Lantian to surrender to the enemy: "Your uncle, I don't have much ability. The Japanese still think highly of me. If you are so smart and capable, you will definitely be reused there and your future will be bright."
Wu Lan Tian was moved, and later he explained: "I don't want to be a traitor, but our team does not allow concubines, so I can only do this."
He thought that he had been against Jiang Jun for a long time, and he would not be punished when he got there. If he is reused, he will definitely be on the bench, and he might as well leave it to the Japanese.
So he simply refused to do anything and became a traitor in the spring of 1940.
At first, the Japanese did not trust him, which made Wu Landian very depressed.
In order to gain the trust of his master, he persuaded his parents to let them move into the Japanese-controlled Hua County as hostages.
As expected, Wu Lantian was put in high regard and was assigned to the Japanese Army Headquarters in Xinxiang, with a generous salary of 100 yuan per month.
Wu Lantian was flattered and reciprocated the favor. He immediately revealed all the information he had about Huaxian County and the surrounding anti-Japanese organizations to the Japanese.
In order to show his break with the past and to prevent us from settling accounts with him, Wu Lantian also changed his name to Wu Jinshan.
With the support of the Japanese, Wu Lantian established a "Special Agent Working Group" in Huaxian County, and roped in his younger brother Wu Hexiu, who originally worked in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area, to serve as deputy leader. Then he recruited surrenders and rebels there, snare minions, and completely embarked on the road of no return.
Having worked in our army for many years, Wu Lantian is familiar with the internal situation and operating rules of our organization, and is also very familiar with the terrain of eastern Henan, which has caused losses to our army. From April 12 to 20, 1941, the 35th Division of the Japanese Invading Forces, the First Independent Mixed Brigade and more than 10,000 puppet troops dispatched more than 100 cars and tanks. Under the leadership of the traitor Wu Lantian, they attacked The "April 12 sweeps" were carried out in the central areas of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area, Puyang County, and Huaxian.
During this period, more than 140 villages were destroyed, tens of thousands of houses were burned to the ground, and more than 4,000 people were massacred, many of them anti-Japanese elites.
For example, Li Mingde, secretary of the Gaoling County Party Committee District Three, was nailed to a wooden stake, his hamstrings were cut off, and he was tortured to death.
For example, the anti-Japanese cadre Yang Qingwu had his legs cut off and was shot to death.
For another example, the 22-year-old female cadre Jia Linxiu died even more miserably, being bitten to death by ten wolf dogs.
After Wu Lantian rebelled, he was not polite to his past colleagues. Nie Zhen and Nie Yuanang were both his colleagues. After Wu Landian rebelled, he not only killed Nie Yuanang's son, but also captured Nie's mother. He later demanded a huge ransom from the Nie family and released her.
Jia Qian, the former county magistrate of Hua County, was Wu Landian's teacher, but he was not polite and tortured his mother to death.
All the comrades who worked with Wu Landian were persecuted to the point where their families were ruined and their families were ruined.
According to statistics, during the Anti-Japanese War, the traitor Wu Lantian's puppet troops alone killed as many as 3,700 cadres and masses, and dozens of people were killed by him personally.
Wu Lantian's criminal behavior aroused strong anger among the masses, and the Northern Henan Organization decided to eradicate this scourge.
The prefectural committee and the county committee sent many comrades into Wu Landian's security bureau (Wu Landian became the security chief of Hua County), intending to take the opportunity to get rid of him.
However, Wu Lantian is very cunning. He is surrounded by confidants. When he travels, he is surrounded by people. There are also bodyguards outside when he sleeps at night. He carries a gun when he eats and sleeps. He can't find an opportunity to get off his phone.
In August 1945, the Japanese soldiers were panicked and Wu Lantian lost his protective umbrella. This was a good opportunity for our side to eliminate rape.
However, the security bureau commanded by Wu Lantian and the Henan North training team still have more than 2,000 people and are well-equipped with not only heavy machine guns and light machine guns, but also mortars and grenade launchers .
They rely on strong walls to defend themselves, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Wu Lantian also told the puppet soldiers that anyone who was caught would be cut to pieces.
As a result, the puppet troops resisted desperately, which brought great difficulties to the liberation of Huaxian County.
However, the Japanese army was beaten away by the Eighth Route Army. How could the puppet army withstand the torrent?
On September 17, 1945, Zeng Siyu, deputy commander of the 1st Column of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, led the Eighth Route Army to capture Hua County after 19 days of fierce fighting at the expense of more than 500 officers and soldiers.
It’s not that the puppet army can defeat them, it’s because the walls of Huaxian County are too strong.
Therefore, after the second liberation of Huaxian County, Lin Biao ordered the demolition of the city wall of Huaxian County.
Hua County was liberated, but on the first night of liberation, the cunning Wu Landian got out of a secret passage in the west city wall and escaped.
No one thought that after the outbreak of the civil war in 1946, Wu Lantian, who joined the Chiang Army, would make a comeback and come to Huaxian again.
In 1947, Hua County finally returned to the hands of the people.
Unfortunately, Wu Landian, the cunning fox, escaped again.
On the way to escape, the executioner actually killed a wealthy businessman and took the twelve taels of gold on his body as his own.
After that, Wu Landian fled all the way to Nanjing City, where he applied for a household registration in the name of Wu Jinshan, and his native place became Xuzhou.
After surrendering to the enemy, Wu Landian married a wife and a concubine.
After liberation, monogamy was implemented. After registering for a fake household registration, his concubine naturally could not be Wu's spouse. Her identity in the household registration book was the sister of Wu Lantian, the head of the household.
After having a legal identity, Wu Landian simply went to the bustling city of Shanghai in 1949.
But in a big city like Shanghai, survival is a problem without any skills.
But this was not a problem for the shrewd Wu Lantian. After careful inspection, he decided to sell children's shoes.
He is responsible for design and sales, while his wife and concubines are responsible for production.
Wu Lantian designed children's shoes in the shape of small animals, which became a best-seller in the market and made a lot of money.
Since then, Wu Landian has established a firm foothold in Shanghai.
Even so, he was not careless and remained highly vigilant at all times.
Because he has done underground work and understands the importance of one-line contact, he never makes friends and only lives with his wives and concubines.
In order to avoid being arrested, he specifically wrote to his mother in the letter: "I am only allowed to write to you, and you are not allowed to contact me."
Shanghai began to reorganize the household registration When checking the registration, the cunning Wu Landian also deliberately wrote "Wu" as "Yu", changed his name to "Yu Jinshan", and his wife became "Yu Sunshi", and his concubine Yuan Xiaocan became He married his "sister" Yu Yuanmin.
In this way, Wu Landian's family looks more like southerners.
However, Wu Lantian was still very frightened; because he saw in the newspaper that his comrades and comrades had all gone to work in the provincial party committee and Beijing. Could they let him go?
His worries are not unreasonable. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Nie Zhen, Wu Landian's colleague in Huaxian County, served as deputy secretary of Renmin University, Wang Congwu served as deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, Jia Qian served as the president of the Criminal Tribunal of the Supreme People's Court, and Yu Guanghan served as labor secretary. Deputy Minister of the Department.
When everyone was together, they couldn't help but think of the turbulent years of those years, as well as the relatives and friends who were killed, and they couldn't forget the traitor Wu Landian.
They all agreed that only by severely punishing traitors can relatives, friends and martyrs rest in peace.
They jointly wrote a letter of report to Minister of Public Security Luo Ruiqing in March 1950, reporting Wu Lantian, and hoping to "see him alive and his body dead."
At this time, New China began to restrict the private economy, and Wu Landian's life was also in trouble.
His wife and concubines were married in enemy-occupied areas. They were used to high consumption before, but they were obviously not adapted to the poor life, and they gradually became dissatisfied.
They complained all day long that life was too hard, they were "blind" by marrying Wu Landian, and they clamored to run away.
If things continue like this, I'm afraid something will happen.
In desperation, Wu Landian had to ask his younger brother Wu Xinxiu to go to Beijing to sell the property he had purchased previously.
Wu Xinxiu changed his name to Wu Zunzhou after arriving in Beijing. He lived in Xidan at the home of his cousin Duan Futing. Before the house was sold, he was mobilized by the street to join the army. He could not refuse and had to complain secretly.
Because he had been a doctor, he was sent to Suiyuan to become a military doctor.
cousin Duan Futing had no choice but to help sell the house and remit part of the sale proceeds to Shanghai.
Hua County Public Security Bureau learned that Duan Futing had contacts with the Wu family, so they sent people to Xidan, Beijing, and followed the clues to find out Wu Zunzhou (Wu Xinxiu)'s service unit - the 9021 Troop in Pingliang, Gansu Province. They immediately rushed to the unit station.
At the same time, based on Duan Futing's remittance records, the Ministry of Public Security quickly went to Shanghai to investigate, and a wide net was quietly spread.
According to Wu Zunzhou (Wu Lantian's younger brother Wu Xinxiu), Shanghai Public Security Bureau found Wu Landian's address, and asked the Hua County Public Security Bureau to disguise themselves as water meter checkers and went to Wu's house for a secret identification.
Wu Lantian is so cunning. When the Hua County Public Security Bureau was "checking the water meter," he accidentally spoke in Henanese and exposed his identity.
He had a premonition that he was being targeted and planned to take out a loan and abscond.
Immediately, Wu Landian applied for a loan from a credit union in the name of selling moso bamboo .
Dao is as tall as the devil, and his every move has been monitored by public security personnel.
The staff of the credit union were all replaced by investigators at this moment, and then told Wu Landian that he could come to apply for a loan.
Wu Lantian didn't know it was a trick, so he happily walked into the credit union and started filling out the procedures.
At this moment, an angry shout suddenly sounded in his ears: "Wu Lantian, don't act anymore!"
He was shocked when he saw the majestic eyes, and then understood everything, and then slumped on the chair.
At this point, Wu Lantian, the traitor who had been hiding in Shanghai for 7 years, finally fell into the French Open. After
was arrested, Wu Landian was not willing to give in. He wrote a 100,000-word confession material and wanted to use his cleverness to save his life.
He wrote in his letter of repentance: "I saw Wang Congwu's name in the newspaper, hid in a deserted place and cried loudly." "I made up my mind many times to go to Beijing to find Comrade Wang Congwu, and I wanted to kneel before him. In front of him, I told him everything happily and I was willing to die in front of him."
"But when I went to the train station and saw the train fare to Beijing, I was embarrassed. I couldn't even afford a train ticket with the money I had."
But, what have you been doing?
When you were killing innocent people crazily, did you forget that there is a saying called "the reincarnation of heaven"?
In February 1957, Wu Lantian, a man who had committed many crimes, was sentenced to death.
