Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Zhou Beiwang's injury has healed. Since he left in a hurry to take up his post in the teaching regiment a few days ago, he did not have time to hand over some things in the garrison battalion to the new Battalion Commander Zhao, and he also did not take a few personal belongings with him.

This time I came back to do these two things.

Su Bai felt that this was an excuse.

He still has that cheerful and smiling face.

After sitting down, he exchanged a few words with Cheng Zifeng, and then discussed the matter of the Temporary Seventh Division in front of Su Bai.

Su Bai looked at Cheng Zifeng, then at Zhou Beiwang, and discovered that their conversation sounded like they were discussing the situation, but in fact they were exchanging information.

The Sixth Aunt also changed her usual restlessness and stood quietly by the side listening.

Something is going to happen to the Temporary Seventh Division again.

This was the information Zhou Beiwang first gave to Cheng Zifeng. He learned from a friend in the division headquarters that the designation of the Temporary 7th Division would be cancelled and renamed the Sanlong Security Division, with Kong Li still the division commander.

Although the Temporary 7th Division was the Provisional 7th Division and a ragtag army, it was also a ragtag army in the regular combat series of the National Army. After being renamed the Security Division, it completely became a local guard force.

Military spending will also be reduced accordingly.

In fact, the most important issue is not whether there is a number or not, but that the power of the security guard is subject to local restrictions.

As long as they leave the military camp, a stronghold of military importance, any action of the security division will be subject to the control of the future local government.

Zhou Beiwang explained to Su Bai that once this order was issued and took effect, the Kong Mansion would become a civilian residence, and Kong Li would no longer be able to interfere in the affairs of the Kong Mansion by force.

"Then when can the official order be issued?" The Sixth Aunt seemed a little anxious. She didn't want to see Kong Li bullying the Kong family like this again.

Next, Cheng Zifeng provided Zhou Beiwang with information, which was the establishment of the Sanlong Office that Su Bai had just mentioned and which the Sixth Concubine also knew about.

The order to change the Temporary 7th Division into the Security Division should be issued on the same day as the establishment of the Sanlong Office and the appointment of the Commissioner of the Office, probably in these few days.

After hearing this, the Sixth Aunt jumped for joy a few times.

Su Bai rolled her eyes at her. Did she really think of herself as the commissioner's wife?

The further demotion of the Temporary 7th Division was related to Kong Li's indiscriminate killing of innocent people in Longxing City. Although the arrest of rebel spies was reported to the provincial government in advance and approved, in actual practice, from the dozen people who were shot while fleeing on the streets to the seventy-six who were beheaded outside the east gate after a public trial, there were no more than five real rebel spies among the more than ninety people.

Su Bai looked at Cheng Zifeng and pondered. What this guy said to Zhou Beiwang was different from what he had just said to himself. He just said that what Kong Li did was reasonable and legal.

"Alas!" Cheng Zifeng sighed, "Commander Kong's campaign to eliminate traitors this time is too large in scale and involves too many areas. As a small county magistrate, I really can't afford it!"

Not only Su Bai understood this sentence, but Zhou Beiwang also understood it. Cheng Zifeng had no choice but to act with Kong Li in the name of the county government and secretly reported Kong Li for his disregard for human life and indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

Cheng Zifeng and Zhou Beiwang exchanged information with each other, and revealed all the information they knew about the next incident in front of Su Bai. Su Bai suspected that Zhou Beiwang deliberately let him hear it.

To be honest, Zhou Beiwang really likes to talk to Su Bai about military intelligence and current situations, but Su Bai really doesn't like to listen to them. Maybe it's because of the difference between men and women.

The Sixth Aunt listened with great interest and occasionally interjected a word or two. She was very excited that Huang Wenchang had officially become the highest administrative chief of the Three Dragons Land from his temporary position as special envoy. She was also happy for Su Bai for another thing. Kong Li could not interfere in the Kong Mansion, so Su Bai would no longer have to look at other people's faces.

She thought that the information revealed today by Captain Zhou and County Magistrate Cheng was very timely and useful.

However, Su Bai thought that this information was both useful and useless.

"Don't be so naive. Kong Li will take care of the affairs of the Kong Mansion!" Su Bai said.

Cheng Zifeng agreed with Su Bai's opinion that in Sanlong area, the birthplace of the Kong family, if they wanted to achieve true separation of government and military, a transition period would be necessary.

Zhou Beiwang told everyone another piece of news. After Kong Li returned to Linhua, he first sent someone to send Kong Chen to the Jinan Tongrenhui Hospital, and then hosted a banquet for Marshal Yang and several other former warlords.

These people had grudges against the Kong family army before.

The lips and teeth are interdependent. After Kong Li was demoted to a security guard, their fate was not much better. Zhou Beiwang suspected that they were discussing how to unite to fight against the provincial government.

Su Bai then realized that several nearby warlords of all sizes were originally members of the Fengtian clique when Zhang Zongchang was the governor of Shandong Province. After Zhang Zongchang's death, these people set up their own factions.

"No," Su Bai interrupted, "Even if they unite, they will still be a mob and cannot withstand the attack of the national army!"

"How do you know that won't happen?" Zhou Beiwang asked Su Bai.

"How should I know... Can I tell you?" He really couldn't tell him that the major warlord infighting had ended eight years ago, and these remaining small warlords had never caused any trouble again.

Zhou Beiwang naturally couldn't understand what Su Bai meant and burst into laughter.

Cheng Zifeng stood on Su Bai's side again. He thought that Kong Li had to endure this humiliation. The last time Yang Huasen mutinied, the provincial government sent troops over to prevent any accidents. Now they have not withdrawn yet, not to mention that there are people from the Military Control Commission in each division. Anyone who dares to stand out will be destroyed.

Cheng Zifeng has something else to do at the county government, so he'll take his leave first.

The Sixth Concubine sent him out of the house.

"Kong Chen is not dead?" Although Su Bai had expected this result, he still wanted to confirm it from Zhou Beiwang.

"How is Xu Tianyi?" Zhou Beiwang asked. He must have learned from Bai Ying that the assassin was Xu Tianyi.

"Is there a first come first served rule? Answer my question first!"

Zhou Beiwang grinned. He could guess from Su Baihua that Xu Tianyi was fine.

Xu Tianyi's three shots injured Captain Zhao and Kong Chen, but only killed Kong Chen's chief guard.

"This captain of the guard deserves to die!" Su Bai said angrily.

Captain Zhao was only slightly injured. He was hit in the arm and not even the bones were broken.

Kong Chen was seriously injured. According to what military doctor Chen told Zhou Beiwang, the bullet pierced his lungs.

This time, the 7th Temporary Division was about to be demoted, but Kong Chen turned a disaster into a blessing. What was reported to his superiors was that Kong Chen was injured because he was in the front line commanding the battle, and he had made meritorious service.

However, Zhou Beiwang advised Su Bai not to worry. Doctor Chen said that Kong Chen would not be able to recover for a while. Even if he recovered completely in the future, he might still have sequelae.

Besides, even if he made a contribution, he would not be able to control the security team. Su Bai still needed to guard against Kong Li.

"Actually..." Zhou Beiwang began to hesitate as he spoke.

"Just say it straight. You came back this time just to see me, right?" Su Bai thought that his packing of personal belongings and handing over military affairs were just excuses, and his real purpose was to see her.

Zhou Beiwang blushed and lowered his head: "Is...right?"

"You are a man, but you act like a girl at this time. Please speak to me directly from now on, okay?"

Su Bai's words made Zhou Beiwang raise his head, and one hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Bai's hand: "Don't be the eldest lady in the Kong Mansion anymore, come with me!"
