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

Since she was no longer pregnant with the eldest master's child, she became a complete outsider in Kong Dai's eyes.

So what will he do to himself?

Su Bai believed that he would not harm himself, but would he still be so loyal to him?

Basically impossible.

In this case, will he still keep the secrets of the backyard basement, the ancestral hall, and the Li Mansion secret to himself?

This is what Su Bai is most worried about.

After all, Kong Dai knew too much.

Thinking of this, Su Bai discovered another suspicious point. He had not worn a bellyband for so many days, and the Sixth Aunt noticed it at a glance. Kong Dai was with him almost every day except for the four days he went to Qingdao. Didn't he notice it?

Zi Yan didn't take this seriously, thinking that as a grown man, Kong Dai shouldn't pay much attention to these details.

"Okay." Su Bai decided that when he went to Shanghai in the next two days, he would take this opportunity to lie that he had accidentally had a miscarriage in Shanghai, and simply make the matter public to see how Kong Dai would react, and then see how the eldest and second young ladies would react.

Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye it was January 1937, 1. According to the Gregorian calendar, the new year began.

Although the people in the Confucius Mansion did not regard New Year's Day as a holiday, Su Bai still asked Gao Erzhu to go out and buy some fish and meat, and cooked a large table of sumptuous dishes and made dumplings.

Yuan Yuze also came back. I didn’t expect him to be so skilled in cooking.

He told Su Bai that he used to cook a lot when he was at home. He couldn't make fancy dishes, but he could handle Chang's family dishes.

After everyone was seated, Su Bai realized that there were 15 people including himself.

If Gao Hu and Xiao Wei are not counted, there are 13 people in total.

Su Bai first raised his glass and delivered a New Year's speech, saying that our lives will get better and better in the new year.

Gao Hu and Xiao Wei were outsiders here, so Gao Hu stood up first to speak. Although he and Xiao Wei were still in the army, they had already regarded themselves as the young lady's people.

He dared not promise anything else, but as long as Gao Hu was not transferred away from the Kong Mansion, he would protect the young lady with his life. Everything that happened in the backyard of the Kong Mansion would be kept to himself forever, even if he and Xiao Wei were transferred to another place by their superiors one day.

This expression of loyalty has reached its extreme.

Before Su Bai had the time to say thank you, Kong Dai stood up to toast Gao Hu and bowed deeply to him.

Su Bai said that starting from this month, everyone's salary would be increased to six yuan. Although Adjutant Feng and Gao Erzhu were Commander Yang's men, they had been helping here for a while, so they would be paid according to this salary.

Adjutant Feng immediately stood up and said, "Look at what you said, Madam. Commander Yang is still your man, and we are even more your men!"

To be honest, Su Bai was not interested in Adjutant Feng's loyalty. Yang Huasen's current situation was similar to that of a bandit, the only difference being that he hadn't gone down the mountain to rob anyone. He had killed people to cover up his identity and his relationship with Liu Yiyan was already unclear, and now he was involved with a bigger bandit group...

It's not a taste in my heart.

But from Kong Dai to Adjutant Feng, and then to Gao Erzhu, it seemed as if they were determined to tie themselves to Yang Huasen.

"Hmm..." Su Bai thought about it and felt that it would be better to make things clear and give them some clear instructions: "Since we separated from the Kong family last month, we are no longer members of the Kong family and have nothing to do with the Kong family in the future."

The meaning is to make them understand clearly, aren't you members of the Kong family army?

Okay, I have nothing to do with the Kong family. If you want to fight under the banner of the Kong Family Army, you can, but don't involve me.

She added, "If we need to hang a plaque on the back door, let's hang the words 'Su Mansion'."

She saw that Adjutant Feng and Gao Ershu lowered their heads, and Kong Dai looked displeased.

In fact, the monthly salary increased to six yuan, but it was only for Niu Yanzi, Niu Fuping and other six people. The salaries of Kong Dai, Zi Yan and Xu Tianyi were calculated separately, and their salaries were all higher than six yuan.

As a servant in a big mansion, he could eat well and live comfortably, and yet get paid six yuan. I wouldn't say this was unique in the whole of Shandong, but at least in the three counties under the jurisdiction of the Sanlong Office.

From Kong Dai's behavior, one can imagine that after I come back from Shanghai and let him know the news of the miscarriage, not only will his face become even uglier, he may also take some action.

Su Bai had already made up his mind. No matter whether he was happy or not, he could give him a few gold bars and use them to support Yang Huasen, so that his reputation would not be in vain.

Yang Huasen needed money the most now, so after doing his best, he cut off all ties with her.

Kong Dai had to accept it even if he didn't want to.

If he still doesn't appreciate it and does something that is disadvantageous to him, then...

I had no choice but to kill again.

Anyway, I have Xu Tianyi, Gao Hu and Xiao Wei by my side.

It is much easier to kill someone now than when I first entered the Confucius Mansion.

"Tomorrow, Adjutant Feng, Tianyi, and Ziyan will leave Longxing separately and stay in Linhua first. Gao Hu and I will meet you in Linhua the day after tomorrow."

In order not to attract attention, Su Bai and Kong Dai agreed that they would split up and go through the north gate, along the foot of the mountain, out of the west mountain pass to Linhua.

Su Bai and Gao Hu will leave the next day because they have to produce the third batch of medicine tomorrow.

The output quantity of the third batch of drugs was roughly the same as the first two batches, more than 600 doses.

The total output of the three batches was more than 180 boxes. 100 boxes were given to Doctor Chen, and Su Bai only had more than 80 boxes left.

Xu Tianyi, Adjutant Feng and Zi Yan had already left Longxing and headed for Linhua. On this day, Su Bai went to bed early.

At three o'clock in the morning, Su Bai and Gao Hu entered Li's Mansion through the tunnel, and then walked out of the back door of Li's Mansion. At this time, the monitors in the neighboring courtyard were all asleep.

After leaving the north gate of Longxing, the two walked north all the way to the foot of the mountain, then walked west and then south along the foot of the mountain to Xishankou.

Ever since Yang Huasen's troops were wiped out, the construction of the defensive fortifications that were originally planned to be built on both sides of Xishankou has also been stopped. This made Su Bai feel that a ragtag army is just a ragtag army, and everything depends on immediate interests. If it were any other army, regardless of whether these fortifications would be garrisoned or not, they should at least be built, and would not be stopped halfway like the Security Division did.

After several storms, this half of the fortification was completely abandoned.

Su Bai wore a flowery headscarf and dressed like a village girl, just like she did last time when she went to Dongtian Temple. She also carried a basket. Gao Hu was also dressed like a farmer. The two of them followed closely, looking like a couple.

It was already daybreak when the two men entered Linhua County.

"Are you tired?" Gao Hu said. It was still early before the departure time, so the young lady could rest for a while in the inn.

"Not tired, not at all." Su Bai didn't lie, the excitement had overwhelmed the fatigue.

The long-distance bus ticket to Jinan was bought in advance by Xu Tianyi, who arrived in Linhua yesterday. The bus departs at seven in the morning.

After taking a short rest at the inn where they had agreed to meet Xu Tianyi and others, the five of them set off for the long-distance bus station.

At seven o'clock, when the roar of the engine sounded, Su Bai felt that a new journey had begun for him.
