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

The person Su Bai wanted to kill was none other than Captain Zhao, who had been so arrogant in front of Su Bai and the wives of the various families this morning.

If this person is allowed to stay in Confucius Mansion, there will be endless harm.

Yang Huasen and his men quickly came up with a plan. They first attacked the Kong Mansion and captured Captain Zhao and his soldiers. Then, as soon as gunshots were heard from the Kong Mansion, the west gate began to take action. Bai Ying led his men to retreat to the south gate, while Gao Hu provided cover and fired a few random shots before running towards the east gate.

Gao Hu's performance is not over yet. He has to fight with Yang Huasen's men, or Liu Yiyan's troops, near the east gate for a while.

The tactical arrangements were a bit confusing and Su Bai didn't quite understand them, but the last step was for Gao Hu to rush back to the Kong Mansion, rescue the people there, and then pretend to defend the Kong Mansion to the death.

If the plan went well, by the time Gao Hu returned to the Kong Mansion, Liu Yiming would have already completed the looting of the garrison battalion's ammunition department, supply department, and the police station's firearms department, and would have guarded the west gate.

Adjutant Feng ambushed Kong Li's reinforcements at Xishankou and caused certain casualties to them before pretending to retreat. The reinforcements were anxious to rescue Longxing and would not chase up the mountain, but would go straight to Longxing City.

At this time, Yang Huasen had already captured Linhua and sent troops to pursue Kong Li's reinforcements. Together with Liu Yi, who was guarding the west gate, they attacked from both inside and outside and wiped out the reinforcements outside the west city.

"Can you guys... do this?" Su Bai didn't know how to fight a war, but he could hear that from Longxing to Linhua, to Xishankou, and from the city to outside the city, and even including the actions in Confucius Mansion, one link after another, especially in grasping the timing, it was necessary to be precise. Any wrong step might cause the failure of the plan or fail to achieve the desired effect.

"Don't worry, Madam, I'm 90% sure." Yang Huasen said to Su Bai with a smile, this is how war is fought, in addition to hard conditions such as equipment and manpower, what matters is the grasp of timing and the grasp of the initiative on the battlefield.

At four in the morning, we started to act.

"Madam, just leave the west gate of the Confucius Mansion ajar." Yang Huasen said.

Kong Dai immediately said that he would take care of the matter.

At 3:50, he would pull the bolt of the west gate on time and then return to the backyard.

"What else do you need me to do?" Su Bai was worried that the Kong Mansion would be in chaos once the gunshots were heard. Fortunately, the new servant that Niu Yanzi had returned to the village to find had not entered the Kong Mansion yet, otherwise it would be even more chaotic.

If the concubines started running around in the yard, bullets would have no blindness and they might be hurt.

"Young Madam, you don't have to do anything. I will tell Liu Yiyan to hand Zhao Dianchen over to you and you can deal with him personally."

Captain Zhao’s full name is Zhao Dianchen, and many people in Kong Li’s army know him.

Zhou Beiwang didn't know him because he had been back from Germany not long ago. There had been no major battles to fight since he came back, and Zhao Dianchen was no longer the captain of the supervision team.

"Don't kill innocent people, especially those in the county government." Su Bai was afraid that Cheng Zifeng would be killed by them by mistake. After all, Cheng Zifeng was his friend.

Also, the surveillance personnel in the neighboring courtyards of Li’s mansion cannot be touched.

They were all dressed as ordinary people, and if Su Bai was provoked, he would also get into trouble.

"Don't worry, Madam. We won't touch any of the people except those who resist. However, we won't let any of Zhao Dianchen's men live."

Su Bai neither agreed nor disagreed. War was so cruel. Yang Huasen had his reasons for doing so, so he had no right to say anything more.

"By the way, I brought back a hundred sets of military cotton-padded jackets this time." Su Bai had no use for these cotton-padded jackets, so he thought at the time whether to give them to Liu Yiyan, or to do Kong Dai a favor and let him give them to Yang Huasen.

"Thank you, Madam Young Master. Don't worry about this for now. I'll talk about it in a few days. It will come in handy eventually."

Several soldiers hurriedly left through the back door of Li's mansion.

In the afternoon, the Kong Mansion was in a mess. According to Su Bai's arrangement, except for the fifth concubine who still lived in the original East Third Courtyard, the other concubines had to move out.

The second and third wives were naturally happy when they moved from the side yard into the main yard.

The sixth concubine and the eldest daughter moved to the east backyard and became neighbors with Su Bai.

In order to allow everyone to move quickly, in addition to Su Bai, Kong Dai, Zi Yan and Yuan Yuze from the backyard all went to help. Together with Guo Deyi and the two cooks, they were very busy.

Su Bai came to each courtyard and told everyone to move the valuables and bedding over and live there first. Tomorrow the newly recruited servants in the Kong Mansion will arrive, and there will be more people working, so there is no need to make yourself so tired today.

Su Bai specifically asked Guo Deyi to move the Sixth Madam and the Eldest Daughter out of the West Second Courtyard first.

The west gate of the Confucius Mansion is usually used as a passage for transporting grain and charcoal. Entering from the west gate is the west front yard. Currently, the west front yard is empty and no one is there.

But behind the west front yard was the Sixth Madam's west second yard. Su Bai was afraid that if the Sixth Madam had diarrhea again and saw a group of people with guns coming in, it would be dangerous if she screamed.

Su Bai was also convinced that Sixth Madam had diarrhea in the middle of the night. Once she had diarrhea, something big would happen.

Su Bai's instructions to each courtyard were indeed effective. Before dark, everyone had moved their homes.

Of course it would be quick if I only took a set of bedding and some valuable things.

Since someone will come into the mansion to help with the work tomorrow, these concubines naturally don't want to move on their own.

Everyone gathered in Su Bai's backyard.

In Su Bai's memory, this was the first time that anyone came to chat with her without any ill intentions, including the Second Wife. At this time, she had no motivation to harbor any ill intentions towards Su Bai.

"Come on, I'll show you my business!" Su Bai enthusiastically led everyone into the basement. The strong smell of mold hit their noses, and everyone only stood at the entrance for a minute or two before running out.

Su Bai asked Zi Yan to take a small can of stinky tofu to each room and let everyone go back to try it.

"Su family's stinky tofu?" The fifth concubine shouted.

There were already a lot of pictures of Kongfu stinky tofu written on red paper and pasted on the small jars. Su Bai specially wrote a few pictures of Su family stinky tofu. These jars were specially for the ladies of the several rooms to see.

"Why, you still want me to call you Kongfu stinky tofu?"

"Yes," said the Fifth Aunt. After the family split up a while ago, it was not wrong for Su Bai to name the Stinky Bean House the Su Family. But now, Su Bai has returned to the Kong Mansion and has become the true head of the Kong Mansion who no one is competing for. She thinks it is still more appropriate to call it Kong Mansion Stinky Tofu.

The second wife curled her lips and said, "We in the Confucius Mansion have become stinky tofu makers. Isn't it embarrassing?"

The Sixth Madam confronted her directly: "It's not shameful for everyone to starve to death. It's not shameful for the Third Miss and the Fourth Miss to have no money to go to school. Second sister, take back the property that the Fourth Sister took away, then we won't be ashamed!"

The third concubine muttered, "It's not shameful, it's life-threatening!"

Su Bai stood up and solemnly told everyone a piece of news that she accidentally lost the baby in her belly during her trip to Qingdao.

"Ah?" everyone shouted in unison.

Su Bai quickly observed everyone's reactions, and those who exclaimed "Ah" included the four wives, the third young lady, and the fourth young lady.

The Second Wife uttered an "ah" sound probably because she didn't expect Su Bai to confess so quickly, while the Fifth Wife and her two daughters uttered the sound out of genuine surprise.

The Third and Sixth Madams already knew about this, and they were just pretending to make that noise.

What's wrong with the eldest and second young ladies? They don't have any expression at all!

There can only be one explanation: they both knew that there was no baby in their belly!
