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

Xu Laohei's food was returned to him, but Su Bai asked the Second Miss to promise that she would explain it clearly to the Second Wife when she returned. This was a favor from the Second Miss.

"Then, how much food can sister-in-law give them?"

"I can't give it to you for now. Let me think about it." Su Bai suddenly remembered that although the provincial government had not yet approved Kong Li's plan to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, it was very likely that Kong Li had already sent people into the mountains, even if it was only a small number of people.

In fact, Su Bai also knew that if Kong Li wanted to suppress the bandits, he didn't need to ask the provincial government for permission, he could just send troops directly. He submitted a report just to find an excuse for himself to station troops in the mountains. In addition, he also hoped that the provincial government could allocate some supplies to him.

It is very likely that Kong Li's activities are in the Shili Peak area. Isn't it looking for trouble to provide food to Xu Laohei at this time?

"Sister-in-law, why do you regret it again?" Kong Yun asked.

"I don't regret it. Don't say anything for now. Let me think of a solution." Su Bai and Wan Qili began to discuss. Kong Yun was listening on the side, so naturally there was no need to explain to her anymore.

Xu Laohei has been out of food for several days, so what about Yang Huasen and Liu Yiyan?

Life must have been hard.

Since he could get food for Xu Laohei, Yang Huasen would at least have half his family left. Even if he couldn't feed them enough, he should at least give them some subsidy.

"Go, call Uncle Kong over." Su Bai had not planned to meet Kong Dai today. He would consider how to deal with him after meeting Zhou Beiwang tomorrow to confirm that Kong Dai came back from Qingdao with him.

Kong Dai is here.

Su Bai asked him if he had any contact with the mountain recently and whether he knew whether there was a food shortage on the mountain.

"Madam, I've been away from Qingdao for so many days and have had no contact with the people in the mountains, but they must be short of food." Kong Dai knew that there was basically no food in the mountains before he went to Qingdao.

"Deputy Commander Yang said that he didn't want to cause trouble for the young lady," Kong Dai said again.

"Alright, Uncle Kong, find a way to contact the people on the mountain and discuss with them a safe way to get the food up the mountain. Let's find a way to get some food for them. It won't be a lot, but a little will do."

"I'd like to thank the eldest young lady on behalf of Commander Yang!" Kong Dai seemed very excited. He told Su Bai that since the last attack on Longxing City, although Yang Huasen and Liu Yiyan were no longer in a partnership, they were almost the same kind of people. Yang Huasen's wounded soldiers had undergone surgery in Wohu Mountain some time ago and had been staying there to recuperate, and Yang Huasen was also there.

"Then go find Xiao Chunhong again?" Su Bai asked Kong Dai. Kong Dai didn't know how Xiao Chunhong uploaded the message to the mountain, but it was definitely not Xiao Chunhong who ran to the mountain. Since Tietou went up the mountain, Liu Yiyan had other spies in Longxing City who were responsible for transmitting information.

Now, Yang Huasen and Liu Yimiao are together, so we only need to notify one of them.

"Then Uncle Kong, go quickly and ask them to think of a foolproof way to deliver the food to the mountain. Remember, I don't want to get into trouble because of this!"

"Sure, sure!" Kong Dai was very happy and bowed to Su Bai before leaving.

"Just wait," Su Bai said to Kong Yun. They had to hold on for two more days. Kong Li was keeping a close eye on the mountain now, so they couldn't send the troops up whenever they wanted.

If we act rashly, it will bring great trouble to the Confucius Mansion.

First of all, this would be a big trouble if Kong Li knew about it. If the provincial government knew that the Kong Mansion funded bandits, it would be more than just trouble.

"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law." Kong Yun nodded vigorously: "Then let's be careful, it doesn't matter if they starve for two more days."

Kong Dai found Xiao Chunhong and passed the news to the mountain. The earliest response would be tomorrow afternoon. We have to prepare food starting tomorrow morning.

Wan Qili suggested buying less in Longxing City and going to Linhua to buy instead.

Longxing was a town previously under the jurisdiction of Linhua County, with a population of only a few thousand. Its daily grain consumption was far less than that of Linhua County, which had a population of tens of thousands. Its grain reserves were also not large. If a large amount of grain was purchased in Longxing at once, it would easily attract attention.

"Okay, let's do it."

Su Bai decided to let Xiao Wei take more than a dozen of his men to Linhua to buy grain tomorrow. They should buy some from each grain store and then transport the grain back to Li's Mansion in a covered horse-drawn carriage.

The Confucius Mansion originally had two covered carriages, but one was taken away by the Fourth Mistress, leaving one left.

After Su Bai separated from the Kong family, he bought a carriage at the suggestion of Kong Dai.

In this way, there are two carriages in total. Although the covered carriage cannot pull as much as a large cart, it is still no problem to carry hundreds of kilograms of grain at a time. Linhua is so close to Longxing that it can make many trips back and forth in a day.

For safety, work harder.

Su Bai said to Kong Yun, "Tell Manman about this."

Su Bai felt that there was no need to keep it a secret from Kong Man. Besides, Yang Huasen was fighting under the banner of the Kong family army, and she was more willing to help Yang Huasen than herself.

In the evening, at the agreed time, Wan Qili sent a telegram to Shanghai, asking Manager Wan to go and discuss the purchase of the pharmaceutical factory.

……

The next morning, Su Bai asked Guo Deyi to go to the market to buy a chicken, and also bought Codonopsis pilosula and Angelica sinensis, to make chicken soup and lean meat porridge for Zhou Beiwang.

In order to keep it warm, Su Bai even wanted to pour the porridge into a thermos. There were no insulated rice bottles in those days, so what else could he do?

Unexpectedly, Wan Qili made fun of him again. She told Su Bai that he just needed to wrap himself in a quilt. "We have already bought a carriage. If there is no carriage, we can hire one. When we get to Linhua, although I can't guarantee that it will be hot, it will at least be warm."

Speaking of hiring a carriage, Su Bai suddenly remembered that Cheng Zifeng had a car. He could lend him the car. The distance was more than ten miles, even though it was all dirt roads. It would take more than ten minutes to get from Longxing to Linhua, right?

Su Bai came to the county government to see Cheng Zifeng, but found that Huang Wenchang was also there.

"Mrs. Kong, I haven't seen you for a long time. How is your family?" Huang Wenchang came up and shook hands with Su Bai.

A gangster is a gangster, he will grab your hand and won't let go.

Su Bai shook his hand away: "Didn't you know whether we are good or not from my Sixth Wife?"

Huang Wenchang felt a little embarrassed when asked this question.

When Su Bai asked to borrow a car from Cheng Zifeng, Huang Wenchang had something to say. In recent times, County Magistrate Cheng had selflessly provided his car to the regional office for use. If he had not come to Longxing today, Su Bai would not have been able to borrow a car.

Su Bai remembered that Cheng Zifeng had told him that Huang Wenchang had been using this car.

When Huang Wenchang learned that Su Bai was only going to Linhua by car, he immediately knew that Su Bai was going to see Zhou Beiwang.

The attack on Zhou Beiwang at the long-distance bus station has caused a sensation in Linhua. Someone dared to attack a regiment leader in broad daylight, and the office also took it very seriously.

Yesterday, Huang Wenchang called the police chief and gave him a good scolding.

"Mrs. Kong has a good eye. Captain Zhou is a young talent, both civil and military. To be honest, among all the officers in the Security Division, including Kong Li, in my opinion, only Captain Zhou can be considered a qualified soldier!"

Obviously, Huang Wenjing knew something about the relationship between himself and Zhou Beiwang, which should have been revealed to him by the Sixth Aunt.

Su Bai asked him back, "Is Commissioner Huang planning to have lunch with my Sixth Madam at noon? I'll go back and tell her."

"No, no, no, don't tell her." Huang Wenchang quickly stopped him.

Although the Sixth Madam denied it, Su Bai still believed that Huang Wenchang had taken advantage of her. However, Huang Wenchang came to Longxing but did not allow her to tell the Sixth Madam...

Are you tired of this?
