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

According to Gao Hu's old comrades in the garrison camp, Tietou did not reveal anything useful, and insisted that Zi Yan, the maid from the Kong mansion, was in love with him and that was why she often went to see him.

Captain Zhao originally planned to shoot Tietou, but later changed his mind and released him.

Tietou was smart enough. Without any collusion, he told the same lie as Su Bai.

Su Bai also said the same thing to Kong Li, Zi Yan and Tietou are lovers.

That's why Kong Li didn't send anyone to investigate the matter later. If Tietou's statement in the military camp was inconsistent with Su Bai's, Kong Li would not have let Su Bai go easily.

What will happen if I don't let it go?

Kong Li's biggest concern is the batch of gold bars. Su Bai believes that even if Tietou's statements are inconsistent with this side, Kong Li may not come to verify it. He will not do anything that will lose the big picture for the sake of the small.

Su Bai's confidence was immediately shattered by Gao Hu's words. He believed that if the two sides had different stories, Kong Li would send someone to capture Zi Yan.

Su Bai and Gao Hu agreed that Tietou, who was originally going to be shot, was released again, and he must have been under surveillance.

This matter must be told to Tietou immediately.

The first time Zi Yan sent Su Bai up the mountain, she went with Tietou to lead the donkey. It was a yard near the north gate, and Zi Yan could find it.

She thought Tietou must have gone there after he came out.

Su Bai asked Zi Yan to get a few penicillins and some external medicines. Since Tietou was beaten beyond recognition, he must have suffered a lot of flesh wounds. Using some medicines could help him recover faster.

"Tell him that he has been targeted and that he should not contact the mountain for the time being. He and his accomplices must have guns. Have them hide them in case Captain Zhao suddenly conducts a search."

There's no problem letting Zi Yan go. They are lovers after all. It's normal for her to find him. It doesn't matter if she's targeted.

Su Bai asked Kong Dai to inform the second wife to exchange the French currency into British francs as soon as possible, even if it meant losing money. The sooner the exchange was done, the less the loss would be.

Su Bai gave this advice to the Second Wife not entirely for her sake, but for himself.

Once the legal currency begins to depreciate sharply, the legal currency in the second wife's hands will shrink. Without money, she will find ways to cause trouble for herself.

Tietou was indeed severely punished. According to Zi Yan, there was hardly any good spot on his body. She also blamed Gao Hu: "Didn't you ask someone to be gentler?"

Gao Hu told her that this was already a light punishment. Although she was covered with bruises, they were only flesh wounds. If he had been ruthless, leaving her with a little disability would have been the lightest punishment.

This Captain Zhao Dianchen was an old subordinate of Kong Li. In every previous war, he was the captain of the supervision team. He was cruel and ruthless, and countless deserters died at his hands.

"But this guy's brain isn't very good, just like me." Gao Hu's words made everyone laugh.

That very evening, Su Bai's first batch of labeled and packaged No. 1 penicillin was officially released, and the output was more than double that of the first trial product, reaching more than 600 units.

Each box is packed with 10 pieces, and there are 60 boxes in total.

According to the price agreed upon with Chen Yidao before, 3 boxes contain a large yellow croaker, which is equivalent to 20 gold bars!

Only then did Su Bai realize that he was also a money-grubber.

I was so excited that I didn't sleep well that night.

The next morning, Su Bai called Gao Hu into his room. After much thought, he decided that Gao Hu was the safest person among all the people he could use when he didn't know where the enemy was.

Su Bai felt that every step she took was a gamble. Although she didn't dare to trust Gao Hu 100%, she bet that he could be trusted this time, only this time.

Of course, if this goes well, there will be a next time.

She had asked Zi Yan to tie up 30 boxes of medicine with paper ropes in advance, then wrap them with straw paper, and then wrap them tightly with cloth.

"Captain Gao, can I trust you?" Su Bai asked this question seriously as Gao Hu entered the door.

Gao Hu was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "If the eldest young lady didn't trust me, she wouldn't ask me this."

"You still say you are stupid? You are too smart." Su Bai deliberately said angrily.

"Young Madam, please give me your orders. Gao Hu will definitely fulfill my mission."

Su Bai handed the medicine to Gao Hu: "Give this to Zhou Beiwang and ask him to pass it to Military Doctor Chen. Remember, bring back 10 large yellow croakers."

"It's so valuable?" Gao Hu took the package, turned it over a few times, and weighed it: "Could it be opium?"

Opium is not that expensive, Gao Hu immediately said: "I won't ask."

In fact, Su Bai also knew that in this backyard, although there were strict access controls for the east and west wing rooms of the ancestral hall, anyone could make a rough guess about what was going on here as long as they paid attention. No one said anything, but they all knew it tacitly.

The only effect of this strict access system is to prevent those who have not been exposed to the operation process from being unable to understand every link and detail of the production.

"You should go back to the front yard first and then walk out from the front yard. This will be more appropriate." Su Bai suggested.

"Let me transfer Xiao Wei over here. I spend a lot of time in the front yard every day. If this happens, there will be no one around the young lady. Kong Li will get suspicious after a while."

What Gao Hu said made sense. Every day when he went to the front yard or the camp opposite, there was no one in Su Bai's backyard to protect the young lady's safety. If this continued, Kong Li would find out in a few days. Gao Hu was not fulfilling his duty to protect Su Bai closely, and he would suspect that Gao Hu had been bribed by Su Bai.

Kong Li did not arrange Gao Hu to monitor Su Bai, but only gave him a simple task of protection. In fact, he was already not very compatible with Gao Hu. He did not replace the personnel only because protecting Su Bai's safety was a very simple matter.

Xiao Wei is a young man in Gao Hu's guard team. Su Bai also knows him. He is young and smart. Gao Hu says that Xiao Wei is very trustworthy. From now on, he will let him and Gao Hu live in the same room. In this way, when Gao Hu goes out to do business in the future, he can be guaranteed to have someone staying in the backyard so as not to arouse Kong Li's suspicion.

As Gao Hu was leaving with his medicine bag, he told Su Bai that, in fact, the morale of the army had become unstable since the day the 7th Temporary Division was downgraded to a Security Division. A considerable number of these soldiers had served in the army just to have something to eat, and after finally looking forward to the troops being incorporated into the National Government, they found that the salary they could receive was getting less and less.

After being demoted to a security division, most people felt that their future life would be even more difficult. Many brothers were killed or injured in the battle to eliminate Yang Huasen, and the pensions given to their families were insufficient. Everyone had lost confidence, and deserters kept appearing.

Even the dozens of guards he had in the Confucius Mansion had some strange things to say, saying that being a soldier would be worse than being a servant in the Confucius Mansion, because at least they could eat well.

"Is the food okay now?" Su Bai asked, and Gao Hu remained silent.

From what Gao Hu said, does he have the idea of ​​bringing these brothers to join him?

This won’t do. Without permission from above, that would be desertion. Besides, supporting so many people by myself...are you crazy?

However, one thing is basically certain: making use of these people and helping out at critical moments may play an unexpected role.

Kong Dai went to inform the second wife to exchange the legal tender into silver dollars, but the second wife didn't take it seriously at all.

The market did not see the sharp depreciation of the legal currency caused by the Xi'an Incident as Su Bai had expected, and everything remained the same.

However, the exchange rate between gold bars and dollars has changed a little. A few days ago, Kong Dai used 300 dollars to exchange for a gold bar, but now it takes 310 to 320 dollars to exchange for one.

"Believe me, the legal currency will definitely depreciate." Su Bai said firmly.

Kong Dai gave Su Bai a suggestion, which surprised Su Bai.

He chose a place where he could move the things in the ancestral hall out of the Confucius Mansion.
