With the victory of the "three major battles" of the War of Liberation, the main force of the Kuomintang army lost millions of people, and it was no longer possible to fight the People's Liberation Army on a large scale. Therefore, on New Year's Day in 1949, Lao Jiang put forward a proposal to "advocate peace talks".
On January 21, Lao Jiang had no choice but to "retire" due to his unexpected defeat in the election. He returned to his hometown in Xikou, Fenghua and started a "reclusive life". It seems that he has left the stage of power, and he still wants to remotely control the people. every move of the government.
On January 22, Acting President Li Zongren issued a statement demanding the release of those "political prisoners" and the abolition of the "special criminal court". After that, major authoritative media published the news of "the release of General Yang Hucheng".
On January 24, Li Zongren ordered Chongqing Mayor Yang Sen and Taiwan Province Chairman Chen Cheng: "Immediately release Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang, two national heroes, and send them to Nanjing by special plane to discuss state affairs..."
January 26 at 9:00 a.m. After the Chongqing government received the order to "release Yang Hucheng", Kuomintang veteran Yu Youren immediately contacted Yang Sen to inquire about Yang Hucheng's situation. After that, many generals who had a good relationship with Yang Hucheng inquired about the situation. Among them, General Sun Weiru planned to go there in person. Go to Chongqing to meet Yang Hucheng.
However, a message appeared at this time: "The order to release the two generals Zhang and Yang has been delivered, but the head of the spy, Mao Renfeng, cannot be found, so it cannot be released." Fang discussion.
Yang Sen explained immediately: "I have received the telegram from Acting President Li, but I don't know where Yang Hucheng is being detained now, not to mention that this matter is not under my control, and I hope that the Chongqing Sui Department will handle it."
In fact, the "Secretary Bureau" was preparing to secretly relocate to Taiwan Province at this time. Mao Renfeng knew the order to "release Yang Hucheng" at the first time, but he could not make up his mind and went to Xikou from Shanghai to ask for instructions. Chiang Kai-shek, asked the other party's attitude.
Who knows, Chiang Kai-shek shook his head on the spot and said: "No release, no one will release without my order! In this way, Mao Renfeng immediately sent a secret message to Xu Yuanju, the head of the Southwest Special Zone of the Security Bureau: "Send Yang Hucheng to Guiyang for imprisonment! "
At this time, Yang Hucheng had heard the news of Li Zongren's release, and he was also waiting for the order. After all, he had been imprisoned for 12 years. He thought about leaving the cage early and going to live outside, and he was very excited.
One day , Xu Yuanju, accompanied by the spy captain, went to the prison where Yang Hucheng was located, and walked towards Yang Hucheng with a smile on his face. Everyone thought he was here to announce the order to release Yang Hucheng, but he said: "Mr. Yang, it is not safe here, I invite you today. Going to Guiyang..."
Yang Hucheng was angry on the spot and said: "President Li asked me to be released, but you let me go to Guiyang. You don't follow the order and you come to deceive me, then I won't go anywhere, I'm not a child, If you want to die, just die here, why take me to Guizhou to kill me? "
Xu Yuanju was speechless, so he had to leave the prison and found his subordinate Deputy District Chief Zhou Yanghao. After all, Zhou Yanghao and Yang Hucheng had a friendship for a period of time. Moved to Guiyang, and questioned the spy captain Gong Guoyan: "Acting President Li wants to release me, but you don't do it, why is this? If you want to kill it, kill it."
" I don't know Acting President Li gave this order, where did you hear it? "Central Daily" also did not have this news! "
Yang Hucheng said in a loud voice: "You take the "Ta Kung Pao" and see if there is any on it, why are you deceiving me? Seeing that Gong Guoyan could not be persuaded, he had no choice but to leave.
But in the end, under Zhang Jingfu's persuasion, Yang Hucheng agreed to go to Guiyang. On February 1, Yang Hucheng and his party were detained in Qilin Cave, Lingshan Mountain, Guiyang, and their guards were increased. Strength.
In fact, since the "Xi'an Incident", Lao Jiang hated Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang deeply, detained Zhang, and threatened Yang Hucheng to go to Europe for inspection. It was not until after the full-scale Anti-Japanese War that Yang Hucheng returned to the country again. He thought that Lao Jiang would not care about personal grievances in the face of big right and wrong. Who knew that when he returned to China, Lao Jiang would set up a bureau to put him under house arrest in Nanchang.
Not only was Yang Hucheng strictly guarded by spies, his wife and children were also deceived to Nanchang. In the spring of 1939 , they were detained again in Xifeng Prison in Guizhou. Due to the humidity in the area, Yang Hucheng's family was often sick, and they were not allowed to walk during the day. Later, at Yang's many requests, he built a new prison at his own expense. Room.
Because the currency of the Republic of China has been depreciating, and the agents often deducted Yang's living expenses, so that their family's life is relatively difficult. Although Yang's wife Xie Baozhen gave birth to a daughter in 1941, the experience of their family is still very tragic. Xie Baozhen In 1945, Yang Hucheng's body gradually deteriorated and he fell ill frequently, and he developed gallstone disease due to improper diet. And Xie Baozhen's mental illness aggravated, often crying and fussing, and even frightening people with kitchen knives.
In Guizhou Prison for 8 years, although she was not tortured, Yang Hucheng's family suffered enormous mental torture.After learning of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Hucheng was very relieved, but he was also very sad in his heart. He was trapped here and could not realize his ambition to serve the country.
Originally thought that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Lao Jiang would release people, but he did not expect that Lao Jiang's supervision would be stricter, and Xie Baozhen's heart was even more broken, and she had thoughts of suicide many times.
In 1947, Xie Baozhen was transferred to Chongqing to be imprisoned. At this time, her condition was very serious. She couldn't eat for more than ten days in a row. She was sent to the hospital for treatment and still had no effect. .
On the afternoon of December 27, the nurse came to Xie's side with the medicine and persuaded her to take the medicine. Xie Baozhen suddenly said: "Your gold ring is very beautiful, show me and I will eat it!" In this way, the nurse took it off and put it in her hands, but Xie Baozhen swallowed it directly after taking it.
Because Xie Baozhen refused to accept the doctor's rescue, she still stopped breathing after more than 20 days. The death of his wife made Yang Hucheng feel grief and anger, and he placed the urn beside his bed and slept with him every day.
However, on August 25, 1949, Mao Renfeng rushed to Chongqing and conspired with Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao to "execute Yang Hucheng". It turned out that Mao Renfeng had asked Lao Jiang whether to transfer Yang Hucheng to Taiwan for detention. He became somber and said, "What are you doing here, just kill it."
Afterwards, Zhou Yanghao found Yang Jinxing, the head of the White Mansion, and said, "I have a secret mission for you, and there must be no noise." Later, Yang Jinxing knew that the person to be killed was Yang Hucheng, and he immediately approached Xiong Xiang to discuss how to assassinate him.
On September 1st, Zhou Yanghao arrived in Guiyang and found Yang Hucheng, saying: "The Northwest issue, the committee hopes to discuss with Mr. Yang." Yang Hucheng thought there was a fraud, and Zhou Yanghao patted his chest and said, "Relax, I use my personality to ensure that the committee I personally invite you to go to Chongqing to discuss this matter."
In the following days, in order to relieve Yang's concerns, Zhou Yanghao stopped mentioning Chongqing, and accompanies him to walk around the park and go shopping every day. They were taken to the Dai Gong Temple.
Yang Hucheng and his son thought they would see Chiang Kai-shek the next day, but as soon as they entered the room, the spy picked up the dagger in his hand and stabbed Yang Zhengzhong in the waist first. He fell to the ground.
Yang Hucheng turned around abruptly after hearing this, only to know that his son had fallen in a pool of blood, but Yang Jinxing didn't wait for him to think about it, he stabbed a dagger into his waist, and was killed as well.
Hurry, Yang Hucheng's daughter, Song Qiyun and his wife, and another truck where Xiao Luotou was also arrived at the parking lot. The spy team escorted them to the gate of the guard room. Before they could recover, the spy stabbed the bayonet at the door. After Song Qiyun and his wife and Yang Zhenggui, the eight-year-old little radish head was brutally killed by Yang Jinxing. After the incident, Mao Renfeng gave a "travel reward" to the killing of Yang Hucheng and his party, among them Zhou Yanghao, Xiong Xiang, Yang Jinxing each rewarded 200 yuan, Zhang Hu was rewarded 150 yuan, and the other spy team members were rewarded 50 yuan. Li Yusheng, who was 3 years old, reported the burial place of Yang Hucheng and others, and the higher government paid attention to it and put Yang Hucheng and others back in the burial. Zhou Yanghao, Xu Yuanju and other main culprits were arrested, but Yang Jinxing escaped and disappeared.
In fact, Yang Jinxing’s hands were already stained with the blood of revolutionary martyrs. He killed Luo Shiwen, Che Yaoxian and other leaders of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee in 1946, and burned the bodies with gasoline; in 1948, underground party member Li Defu was maimed by him; in October 1949 , and killed three Shang Chengwen with high-voltage electricity; in November, 32 underground party members were killed.
However, such an executioner disappeared after the liberation of Chongqing. According to the information held by our party, Mao Renfeng did not take Yang Jinxing with him before fleeing, but according to Zhou Yanghao and others, Yang Jinxing fled to Chengdu in December 1949 and received one hundred and sixty-five yuan, and then went to court. He fled around Huaying Mountain.
Afterwards, the public security organs immediately went to the major towns and villages near Huaying Mountain to conduct a thorough investigation. However, such a carpet-like search still yielded no clues.
However, no matter how cunning the fox is, there will still be a day when its tail will be exposed. In August 1953, the first national census was launched. However, when a census was conducted in the Qingju District of Nanchong, Sichuan, a person of unknown origin, Yang Dafa, was found. He and his wife were both from Guang'an. They have been poor farmers for generations. They fled to Nanchong and settled here.
However, the staff reported this person to Guang'an, but they did not investigate Yang Dafa's origin, which made the Nanchong Public Security Bureau attach great importance to this. Subsequently, the deputy chief of the investigation unit and investigators personally went to the third village of Qingju Township, where Yang Dafa was located, to investigate and extensively solicit the opinions of the villagers.
Villager Teng Mingzhong said: On February 21, 1950, Yang Dafa invited me to burn incense on the mountain, but he suddenly changed his mind halfway through and said that he could go by himself. After returning, I said to his wife Tian Dejun: "There are many bandits on the mountain, and Lao Yang is dangerous alone!" Who knew his wife said: "Don't worry, he has many friends on Huaying Mountain."
Another time, Yang Dafa and I went to another county to sell Dengcao. After dark, I wanted to live in a nearby inn. Since I didn't have any cash, I wanted to use Dengcao as a deduction. Who knew the boss would not like it, Yang Dafa said on the spot: "If it weren't for the liberation, I would make you unable to do business! "
Villager Wang Dicai said: When the liberation was first, Yang Dafa and his wife ran to our village. That day he was wearing a yellow coat and a watch with 17 diamonds. Tian Dejun had his hair permed. The villagers laughed at her as a "haired ghost". She just combed the "pie head".
In August 1952, Yang Dafa and his wife quarreled while doing farm work in the farmland. At that time, Yang Dafa looked fierce and vicious, but Tian Dejun said: "What are you hateful, I will tell your history ! The government is catching spies everywhere, do you dare to confess? "Yang Dafa was speechless at the time.
Another time, Yang Dafa took a gold ring and went to the county to sell it for 160,000 yuan (old coins), and not long after that, he sold his wife's red coat for 40,000 yuan.
Villager Hu Deqing said: I was in a mutual aid group with Yang Dafa at the time, and we were neighbors, so I was familiar with him. I heard him say once: "According to my past scenery, I have already killed several people. Wait, it will be our world in the future! "
At the same time, Yang Dafa has always said that he is illiterate, but he has a very good memory. When the teacher teaches a word, he immediately memorizes it, and he can also say what the word means. He quickly becomes a model for learning. Every time he speaks, he He is right and right, and everyone above likes his speech. I don't think he is a poor peasant, nor is he illiterate.
Not long after the rural investigation was over, investigators found another report on Teng Zhiyuan, a student at the North Sichuan Party School in 1951: Yang Dafa When the couple came to our village, they invited Bao Jia for dinner the next day, and then they stayed here. Because my father is a landlord, the man often cared about me and asked me to talk about business.
After the "May 5th Uprising", he told me that he had worked in the anti-Japanese enemy-occupied area and the Southwest Office. He came to Western Sichuan 3 months before liberation. Arrive at Huaying Mountain. He always said that the "Three Wars" were about to break out, and that the Kuomintang would return to the mainland.
It can be seen that all kinds of information show that Yang Dafa is not a poor peasant who fled the famine, but a "big man" with a background, possibly a secret agent. However, the Public Security Bureau investigated the information of the Southwest Chief's Office and found no information related to Yang Dafa.
When the investigation was blocked, the staff thought that they could take a photo of Yang Dafa, and then find the big secret agents who were detained in the prison to identify it. They believed that they could identify Yang Dafa's true face.
Afterwards, two investigators came to Qingju Township to take pictures on the grounds of promoting the deeds of "advanced individuals". However, when a member proposed to let Yang Dafa and his wife take pictures together, Yang Dafa and his wife refused many times and said, "We are both covered in mud, our hair has not been washed, and our faces are very dirty. Let's go again."
The investigator saw that Yang Dafa and his wife were not cooperating, and came up with a strategy, that is, to evaluate Qingju Township as an advanced cooperative, and stated that they needed to take a group photo before they could participate in the Model Workers Conference.
In desperation, Yang Dafa and his wife had no excuse to shirk, and took a photo with everyone. Afterwards, the Public Security Bureau took photos of Yang Dafa and his wife and compared them with photos of Yang Jinxing in the past. After many confirmations, the two photos should be of the same person, and Yang Dafa was most likely Yang Jinxing.
Afterwards, the police showed the photos to Xu Yuanju, Zhou Yanghao and others who were previously detained in the detention center. Who knew that these people shook their heads when they saw the photos and said they didn't know each other. Obviously they were telling lies.
The police then took the photo to Han Chengcheng and Zhao Ruming of the former "Sino-US Cooperation Institute" to let them see if they knew each other. However, after seeing Yang Dafa's photo, the two of them hesitated for a long time before saying they didn't know each other.
Later, the police brought in the guards and cooks of the former "China-US Cooperation Institute" to identify them. After seeing the photos, they said decisively: "This person must be Yang Jinxing, he is the culprit who killed Yang Hucheng and others. "
The police sent the photo to Yang Jinxing's residence before liberation. Neighbors were invited to distinguish it. After seeing it, the residents all said, "He is Yang Jinxing. I am very familiar with him. He often plays mahjong with us. I'll admit I'm wrong!"
At this point, the public security officers identified Yang Dafa as Yang Jinxing, the former director of the White Mansion and a former Kuomintang spy, and decided to arrest the criminal Yang Jinxing immediately to prevent him from escaping in disguise.
In order to successfully arrest Yang Jinxing, the Chongqing Public Security Bureau sent 4 police officers to the Sixth District Office of Qingju Township on June 16, 1955. In order to make the arrest smooth, they decided a coup.
That night, the village cadre came to Yang Jinxing's house and said, "Yang Dafa, the village has given you a task, do you want to complete it?" After hearing this, Yang Jinxing asked cautiously, "What task?"
The village cadre Said: "This task can only be accomplished by those activists. Our village committee thought about it for a while and felt that you are the most active in our village, so I still think it is more appropriate for you to go." After hearing this, Yang Jinxing let go of his vigilance and laughed He said: "This is good, I'll go, what's the task?"
The village cadre said calmly: "Tomorrow morning, you can go to the bank to change a note, and then bring a few idle chairs in the village to the district office."
Yang Jinxing promised immediately, and the next morning he set off with a chair. At 9:20 in the morning, exhausted, Yang Jinxing carried his chair to the district office.
An investigator from the Public Security Bureau dressed as a cadre said: "Yang Dafa, I have something to talk to you about. "Afterwards, the investigator communicated with Yang Dafa enthusiastically to eliminate his worries and nervousness.
Immediately afterwards, the investigator said, "Tell you about the mutual aid group. Yang Jinxing was then brought into the office, and another investigator dressed as a district cadre asked Yang Jinxing to sit on a low stool. However, when Yang Jinxing sat down, the investigator in front quickly threw Yang Dafa to the ground.
After that, four police officers from Chongqing Public Security also rushed over from the back door, pinned Yang Jinxing to the ground, and took out a pistol to face Yang Jinxing. Yang Jinxing was so frightened by this scene that he was already lying down, and the officers quickly tied him up.
However, the panic-stricken Yang Jinxing quickly adjusted his emotions. Unconvinced, he tried to cover up his inner fears and argued with the public security officers, saying, "Who are you? Why do you want to arrest me, I'm an activist, I'm a poor peasant, you've got the wrong person! "
The public security officer faced the cunning Yang Jinxing and asked directly, "Yang Jinxing, where is General Huang Xiansheng's swimming watch?
Yang Jinxing, who had been carried away, immediately said: "I, I have sold it!" No, no, no, I'm not... I'm Yang Dafa, and you've got the wrong person. "
Obviously, from his inconsistent remarks and his panicked and stammered appearance, we can tell that he was the murderer of Huang Xiansheng, Yang Hucheng and other generals, and Yang Jinxing was arrested by the police officers of the Public Security Bureau and taken to the Chongqing Public Security Bureau.
At eleven o'clock on the evening of June 18, Yang Jinxing was detained in Shibanpo Prison. He was tried by the police as soon as he got out of the car. However, no matter how the police interrogated him, he called himself Yang Dafa, an "advanced element", a "poor peasant", and a family member. In Guang'an...
For this cunning old fox, the public security officers wanted to influence him and make him confess his guilt, but he refused to confess. The old superior Xu Yuanju and others have been arrested and have already confessed their crimes.
Hearing this, Yang Jinxing's psychological defense was broken. He admitted his crime and confessed that he was Yang Jinxing, and told how to kill Yang Hucheng, Song Qiyun and others, and under the police's questioning, he admitted that he killed himself. Che Yaoxian, Luo Shiwen and other martyrs.
Yang Jinxing confessed how he changed his name and the hidden history in order to reduce his guilt. It turned out that when he fled to Huaying Mountain and arrived in Shehong County, his car broke down, and when he heard that the People's Liberation Army was coming, he immediately fled everywhere. On the way, he met villager Teng Mingqing and others. Yang Jinxing told his family's sadness, and Teng Mingqing took them in.
The next day, Yang Jinxing found two oceans, invited the village chief Bao Jia and seven neighbors to dinner, and fabricated a miserable life experience. After listening to the whole table, they were not moved, and persuaded him to live in the village to make a living. In this way, Yang Jinxing's family stayed in the third village of Qingju Township and had a new name, Yang Dafa.
He also spent 20 oceans on Teng Minghua's farmland and settled there. At the same time, he also spent money to recognize a person surnamed Yang as his "mother-in-law" and a "mother-in-law". On weekdays, he was so active and diligent that many villagers were deceived by him.
However, as an executioner, Yang Jinxing, no matter how well-disguised he is, will be exposed one day, and he will not be able to escape the judgment of the people's government.
On May 16, 1958, the Chongqing court held a verdict meeting at the Palace of Culture. Yang Jinxing was also brought to trial and sentenced to death, which was to be executed immediately. In this way, the executioner, covered in double blood, ended his sinful life under the sound of gunfire, and the heroic spirits of Yang Hucheng, Luo Guangwen and other martyrs could rest in peace.
