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

Su Bai repeatedly insisted that he had not heard any explanation about the wealth from the master. Kong Chen did not shy away from Su Bai and directly invited the second wife and Kong Dai in for questioning.

They did not tell the second wife and Kong Dai about the wealth, but only asked them what their master said before he died.

Only when the two of them agreed with each other did Kong Chen let them leave.

The Second Wife is their sister-in-law after all, but they have no respect for her at all and order her around.

What surprised Su Bai was that they did not question him further, but only asked him to pay attention to this matter. They thought that the master might have hidden the wealth somewhere in the mansion.

"If we can find it, there will naturally be a share for my niece-in-law!" Kong Chen said, raising his glass.

Su Bai raised his glass to accompany him for a moment, and Kong Xin put down his glass and shouted to the door, "Captain Zhou, come in!"

A young officer came in, with a straight posture, handsome and elegant, wearing a clean military uniform with the discipline buttons fastened tightly.

"Come, meet the eldest young lady."

The officer immediately saluted Su Bai and said, "Hello, Madam. I am Zhou Beiwang, the commander of the Longxing Guard Battalion, reporting to you!"

"Hello, Captain Zhou." Su Bai replied politely, wondering in his heart, what are you reporting to me?

Kong Xin introduced to Su Bai that Zhou Beiwang was a top student who had returned from studying abroad at the German Infantry College, an elite among the elites.

The newly formed Longxing Guard Battalion will take over the defense of Longxing City from today onwards, and the battalion headquarters will be located opposite the Confucius Mansion.

The officers and soldiers of the Longxing Guard Battalion were selected from various units of the Kong Family Army. Longxing is the Kong family's hometown and the most solid granary of the Kong Family Army, and no mistakes are allowed.

"From now on, no matter how big or small the matter is, if you need Captain Zhou's help, just let me know!"

Zhou Beiwang saluted Su Bai again: "I am at the disposal of the young lady!"

Kong Chen transferred the guard company originally stationed in Longxing and set up a Longxing Guard Battalion. He also sent an officer who had returned from studying in Germany to take over Longxing City. They were not here to protect the Kong Mansion, but clearly to monitor it.

What to monitor?

Of course, it was the huge fortune that the master did not have time to account for.

Kong Chen and Kong Xin did not completely trust Su Bai, and deliberately set up the camp headquarters opposite the Kong Mansion. The meaning was clear. If he did not agree, not even a bird could fly out of the Kong Mansion.

Sure enough, Kong Chen told Su Bai very bluntly that they believed that his niece-in-law did not know the whereabouts of the wealth, but the wealth did exist.

For safety reasons, anyone leaving the Confucius Mansion with large items must have them checked from now on.

Kong Xin added that although Battalion Commander Zhou Beiwang is young and a bit bookish, his skills and marksmanship are among the best in the entire Kong family army.

He is efficient, never drags his feet, and is very resolute in carrying out orders.

What a blatant threat! It was tantamount to telling Su Bai that no matter who it was in the Kong Mansion, as long as they dared to go out with things that they shouldn't have, Zhou Beiwang would kill them decisively and show no mercy.

Zhou Beiwang stood upright at the door, watching them, listening to their conversation, with a smile on his face all the time.

Somehow, Su Bai did not have any particular aversion to Zhou Beiwang, who was supposed to be his enemy.

……

There were quite a lot of people coming to pay their respects. With the help of Kong Dai, Su Bai officially took on the role of the hostess of the Kong family. She was busy welcoming and seeing off guests.

Kong Chen and Kong Xin did not bother Su Bai again and spent the whole day drinking in the house where they lived in the Second Hospital.

The soldiers who were originally guarding outside the gate of Confucius Mansion were all replaced by Zhou Beiwang's men. Zhou Beiwang not only strengthened the security around Confucius Mansion, but also dispatched more troops to the city gates, and also had patrol teams patrolling the city regularly.

On the fourth day after the master's funeral, Kong Chen and Kong Xin came to the Third Hospital to see Su Bai. There was a war ahead and the military situation was urgent, so they had to leave Longxing.

"I'll leave my elder brother's affairs to my niece-in-law. If anyone in the Kong Mansion dares to disobey, let Captain Zhou deal with it. It's up to you whether to kill or chop them up!"

After saying this, the two brothers left in a hurry.

As soon as the two brothers left, the second wife appeared beside Su Bai like a ghost.

Because of the funeral arrangements these days, the matter of handing over the accounts with Kong Dai was put on hold. The Second Wife basically never came to see Su Bai. Besides, with Kong Chen and Kong Xin around, she didn't dare to be presumptuous.

The second wife said to Su Bai and Kong Dai that they should find someone to calculate the date of the master's burial. This is a major event that concerns the future generations of the Kong family. Kong Chen and Kong Xin, both soldiers, know nothing, so the matter of keeping the coffin for seven days before burial needs to be carefully considered.

She found out about a very famous Feng Shui master who lived in Tianlong County outside the mountain, which is also the territory of our Kong family.

Longxing County is surrounded by mountains on all sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is why Old Master Kong used it as his base camp at that time.

The mountains surrounding Longxing County are called Siling Mountains. Leaving Longxing County is called leaving the city, and leaving the jurisdiction of Longxing County is called leaving the mountains.

In addition to Longxing County, the Kong family army currently occupies Tianlong County and Linhua County outside the mountains. Because there is also a Tonglong River within the jurisdiction, the three counties and eighteen townships in this area are also called the Land of Three Dragons.

After the Second Wife proposed to hire a Feng Shui master, Kong Dai said to Su Bai, "Let the First Young Madam make the decision."

The Second Wife insisted on going, and Su Bai was not in a position to stop her. After all, it was not the time to confront her head-on.

"Then please ask Second Madam to go and take a look first." This was the only way Su Bai could respond.

"Then..." The Second Madam said a little embarrassedly, "Please ask the eldest young lady to take me out. I'm afraid the guards at the door won't let me out."

She must have something to say to herself, how could the guard at the door stop her?

What good words could she say? Su Bai deliberately didn't follow her and told her that the guards at the door would not stop her and she could just go out by herself.

The second wife glared at Su Bai fiercely and had to leave.

Su Bai looked at her back and thought, I am no longer the Su Bai who lets you control me.

She asked Zi Yan to follow the Second Madam quietly to see if anyone was trying to stop her. After what the Second Madam said just now, Su Bai didn't dare to confirm it.

Zi Yan came back quickly to report the news, and the second wife left the Kong Mansion smoothly without anyone stopping her.

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Kong Chen and Kong Xin had not yet gone too far.

After a while, Su Bai thought more and more that something was wrong. When the master died, the second wife didn't shed a single tear. Why would she be so concerned about the day of the master's burial?

"Ah!" Su Bai woke up suddenly. She was not going to find a Feng Shui master, but to pick up her suave cousin to mate with her!

She said that she would arrive in these few days and the date would match.

Su Bai ran to the gate of Confucius Mansion and just saw Zhou Beiwang walking out of his camp.

He didn't have time to think whether Zhou Beiwang was a friend or an enemy: "Captain Zhou!"

Zhou Beiwang took a few quick steps and came closer: "What instructions does the eldest young lady have?"

"Quick, go and get the second wife back!"

Unexpectedly, his recklessness in a desperate situation was rewarded with Zhou Beiwang's unhesitating execution. He ran a few steps to the opposite side, untied the military horse tied in front of the camp gate, jumped on the horse, and galloped away.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely get her back for you!"
