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

Nearly an hour had passed since the third concubine stepped into the room.

If it were usual, the second young lady would have come to see me when she returned.

This damn girl, is she still trying to hide it from me?

When Su Bai sent the third concubine out, he warned her that if Kong Nanwei dared to act like the second young master of the Kong family and speak rudely in front of him again, he would be rude to him.

"Don't worry, I won't take his life." Su Bai thought so in his heart and said so to the third concubine.

"Okay, okay." The third concubine agreed and left.

As soon as the third concubine left, the second lady Kong Yun came.

Su Bai had wronged her. She had just been here and saw someone in Su Bai's room, so she didn't come in.

"It's the Third Aunt who's here, not a stranger. What are you afraid of?"

"Well, I just want to talk to my sister-in-law alone for a while."

The expression on Kong Yun's face was not as natural as usual.

This is easy to understand. She must have been unaware of the relationship between her mother and Xu Laohei before. This time, in order to escape, the Second Wife brought her to Shili Peak. Even if she continued to lie to her, Kong Yun should have been able to see some clues.

The second young lady is a little naive, but not stupid.

Once she discovered that her mother had an ambiguous relationship with Xu Laohei, it would always be an embarrassing thing for her.

"Tell me, where have you been these days?" Su Bai asked deliberately to see if Kong Yun would tell the truth.

As expected, Kong Yun lied and said that she and her mother went to a relative's house.

"Your mother won't return to the Confucius Mansion, right?" Su Bai asked again.

"I'm coming back. I'll be back in a while." Kong Yun stuttered.

Su Bai nodded, not to Kong Yun, but to himself.

Although Kong Yun was lying, she believed that the second wife would come back. She still had the handle on Su Bai that was no longer useful. In her opinion, she could get some benefits from Su Bai.

But she didn't know that apart from the monthly allowance given to the wives of each room, Su Bai no longer planned to give her money.

"What's wrong with your face? Were you hit by someone or scratched by a cat?" Only then did Su Bai notice a few scratches on Kong Yun's face.

Kong Yun subconsciously touched his face and said, "It was scratched by a branch."

At this moment, Kong Dai rushed in: "Madam, something bad has happened!"

When he saw Kong Yun, he immediately changed his words: "Actually, it has nothing to do with us. I just heard from Captain Gao that there was another fight on the mountain."

"Who's fighting with whom?" Su Bai glanced at Kong Yun, then turned to Kong Dai: "Could it be that Liu Yiyan and Xu Laohei are fighting?"

Kong Yun and Kong Dai both knew about the relationship between Liu Yiyan and Su Bai. Kong Dai would not be unwilling to speak about Liu Yiyan in front of Kong Yun, so it could be Xu Laohei.

In fact, the first person Su Bai thought of was Yang Huasen and Xu Laohei. They teamed up to rob Linhua last time, and it would be easy for them to have disputes over the division of the spoils when they returned to the mountains, and then go to war.

Kong Yun must not know that Yang Huasen is in contact with him.

Kong Dai didn't want Kong Yun to know about the relationship between Xu Laohei and the second wife, so he changed his tone.

Kong Dai shook his head.

"Yunyun, go outside first, I'll call you later." Su Bai asked Kong Yun to stay in the yard for a while.

"Then I'll go back first."

As soon as Kong Yun left, Kong Dai told Su Bai that it was not about Yang Huasen and Xu Laohei, nor about Liu Yimian, but that Kong Li had sent troops to the mountain to suppress the bandits again.

This didn't happen today, it happened yesterday.

This is the news received today in Longxing City. Gao Hu heard it from Bai Ying. He asked Kong Dai to tell Su Bai immediately.

"Don't Kong Li only have more than a thousand people left? Do they still have the strength to go up the mountain and suppress the bandits?"

It was unbelievable that Kong Li had only more than a thousand men, while Xu Laohei and Yang Huasen had more than eight hundred soldiers together. The difference in strength was not much, and the heavy weapons could not be fully effective.

Kong Dai heard from Gao Hu that Kong Li only sent a regiment of less than 500 people, which was Zhou Beiwang's regiment.

There were not only these 500 people who went up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but also two regiments from the provincial government.

After defeating Marshals Yang and Lin last time, the provincial government's army deliberately left two regiments to help Kong Li suppress the bandits.

The provincial government was very angry because Yang Huasen and Xu Laohei took advantage of the situation to loot Linhua and Longxing.

Moreover, Gao Hu also said that the people who led the way were the doctors from the Linhua Military Hospital who were tied up and taken to the mountain by Yang Huasen last time.

"Asshole!" Su Bai slammed the table and stood up.

Kong Dai said that it was useless to curse, as the suppression of bandits was inevitable, especially since this sneak attack had completely angered the provincial government.

Ever since Chairman Han took office in Shandong, people have said that he has accomplished three major things: the first was to focus on education, the second was to ban smoking, and the third was to suppress bandits.

Moreover, countless people were killed in the two activities of banning opium and suppressing bandits.

Previously, the Three Dragons Land was in a semi-autonomous state, so this time it can be considered as a support for Kong Li.

"I'm not scolding the provincial government, I'm scolding Yang Huasen!" Su Bai slammed the table again.

When she first heard the news that Yang Huasen had tied up the military doctor and the nurse and taken them up the mountain, she was shocked. After all, Yang Huasen had been a regiment commander and a brigade commander. How could he do such a stupid thing?

Now that’s good, they’ve come to our door.

"Don't worry, Madam. I heard from Deputy Commander Yang that when they tied these people up the mountain, they first went to Xu Laohei's Shili Peak. When they walked from Shili Peak to Beishan, they blindfolded these people. The people leading the way only knew the way to Shili Peak, so they couldn't find Deputy Commander Yang."

Su Bai looked at Kong Dai. Why did he see a hint of pride on his face?

Good man, it was unlucky for Xu Laohei to take the bullet for him.

"Quick, call Kong Yun in!" Su Bai then understood why Kong Yun came back. It turned out that Xu Laohei was attacked.

"Call her..." Kong Dai hesitated.

"No need to hide it from her. No need to hide anything about Liu Yimu from her. No need to hide anything about Yang Huasen and Xu Laohei." Su Bai felt that his mind was messed up by all these messed up things. He hid one thing from Zhang San but not from Li Si, and another thing from Li Si but not from Zhang San. If there were a few more things, he couldn't even remember who to hide and who not to hide.

Kong Dai quickly found Kong Yun and the eldest daughter Kong Man also came.

As soon as Kong Man entered the room, he said to Su Bai confidently: "Uncle Kong didn't let me come, but I came. Is there something you want to hide from me?"

Su Bai ignored her and asked Kong Yun directly: "Xu Laohei's Shilifeng was attacked. Tell me honestly, how did you come back? Are Xu Laohei and your mother still alive?"

"I, I..." Kong Yun told Su Bai hesitantly that it was Xu Laohei who sent someone to send her down the mountain.

Xu Laohei’s lair in Shilifeng has been destroyed.

Xu Laohei and the second wife took a group of people and fled to Honghuagou. It was after she arrived in Honghuagou that Xu Laohei was afraid that the pursuers would catch up, so he sent people to take a detour to escort her out of the mountain.

Su Bai had heard from Yang Huasen that there were two gangs of bandits in Xishan, Xu Laohei from Shili Peak and Tang Sanwa from Honghuagou.

During the last operation, Yang Huasen sent someone to find Tang Sanwa, wanting to invite him to join the operation, but Tang Sanwa was not in Honghuagou at the time, so he did not talk about this to his men.

Kong Dai asked, "Xu Laohei and Tang Sanwa have always been at odds, why would he escape to Honghuagou?"

"There is no one left in Honghuagou." Kong Yun said that on the way to Honghuagou, she heard Xu Laohei and her mother say that Tang Sanwa had gone to Dongtian Temple to become a monk.

Su Bai stood up suddenly. The fake monk Huijing from Dongtian Temple turned out to be the bandit leader Tang Sanwa!
