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

"Wait here for a while!" Looking at the disgusting Wang Yutian, Su Bai's stomach churned.

This is the second wife's handsome cousin.

Su Bai took Zi Yan, who was waiting at the gate of the mansion, back to his bedroom in the backyard, took out 10 silver dollars and gave them to her, asking her to take Wang Yutian to the Xiankelai Inn, book a room for him, and then give him the silver dollars.

"Tell him not to go anywhere and just wait in the guest room. I'll go find him after I finish arranging things at home in a few days."

If Dr. Jiang had considered paying him to shut up, or even arranging for him to leave Longxing, the only option left for Wang Yutian... was to silence him.

It is easy to ask Kong Dai to do this, but it is extremely dangerous. What if Wang Yutian reveals his identity before he dies?

It is not appropriate to look for Zhou Beiwang. It was rash enough to ask him to chase the second wife in a desperate situation the day before yesterday. He must not be allowed to do this. It would be equally dangerous if his identity and secrets were known by him. If he knew, it would be the same as if the second master Kong Chen knew.

This task can only be accomplished by herself and Zi Yan, two women.

Whether Zi Yan is reliable or not, and whether she will be his first confidant in the Kong Mansion, depends on this time.

After a while, Zi Yan came back.

As soon as she entered the door, Su Bai asked, "Why don't you ask me who that man is?"

Zi Yan shook her head: "I only listen to the eldest young lady and do whatever she tells me to do."

"What if I asked you to kill someone?"

Zi Yan's eyes widened immediately, and after a while she asked, "Are you going to kill this man?"

"His name is Wang Yutian, and he is the second wife's cousin. I must kill him. If the second wife is not dead, I will kill her as well." Su Bai has made up his mind and is ready to let Zi Yan know some things.

"I've seen... the Second Wife bullying you."

"I will tell you everything after a while." Su Bai changed his mind when the words were on the tip of his tongue. He should not trust anyone easily. If Zi Yan helped him kill someone this time, even if she was completely on his side, it would not be too late to tell her the truth later.

"But...he's a grown man, how can I kill him?"

"Do you dare to kill someone?" Su Bai asked.

"I dare!" I didn't expect Zi Yan to answer so straightforwardly.

Su Bai has already thought about getting a gun.

The Kong family was born into a warlord family. They had more than twenty armed servants, each holding a rifle. The butler Kong Dai also had a pistol.

As the head of the Confucius family, it is only natural for him to carry a gun for self-defense.

Although Su Bai had never used a military pistol, he had been to a shooting club with his friends before traveling through time and shot a small-caliber sports pistol, so it should be pretty much the same.

Su Bai didn't want to shoot Wang Yutian because the sound of gunfire would alert Zhou Beiwang's guard camp and the Confucius Mansion.

She used the gun just to protect herself in case of emergency. Who knows when the second wife's accomplices will jump out.

Kill Wang Yutian with poison.

When it comes to making poison, I have many ways and can make dozens of poisons, but the current conditions do not allow it. First, there is no equipment, and second, there are no raw materials.

The most useful and easily available remedy at the moment is arsenic.

After the master's funeral was over, he invited Wang Yutian to have a meal and waited for an opportunity to poison him.

With Zi Yan waiting by the side, it was easy to do it.

Let Zi Yan buy arsenic.

Su Bai used the excuse of checking the gift account of silk and gold to talk to Kong Dai about the issue of wearing guns.

Kong Dai immediately understood what Su Bai meant. The Second Wife's life or death was unknown, and carrying a gun with him would at least give him an extra layer of safety. He thought Su Bai was frightened by the Second Wife's matter.

But the Kong Mansion did not have any guns suitable for the young lady to use. The servants all had long guns. The only pistol was in his hand, a German-made 20-shot box cannon.

It is big and heavy, inconvenient for women to carry, and too conspicuous.

However, it was not difficult for the eldest lady of the Kong family to get a gun. She could either ask the second master for it or ask someone to buy it from Qingdao.

Su Bai was unwilling to speak to Kong Chen, and it would be better to have as little contact with him as possible.

It will take at least ten days or half a month to get a gun from the black market in Qingdao, so let's talk about it later.

Returning to her room, Zi Yan bought the arsenic as well.

Zi Yan said that if the eldest young lady needed a gun, she could ask Captain Zhou to borrow one.

In addition to having fewer heavy equipment, the Longxing Guard Battalion is the unit with the most orderly guns in the Kong family army. They are all equipped with Hanyang Type 79 rifles. Unlike other units, they do not have a variety of old weapons such as old-style barrels or even bird guns.

As a maid in a warlord's family, the armed servants often talked about this matter, and Zi Yan could hear a lot even if she didn't want to listen.

"Do I not have to return a gun if I borrow it?" Su Bai asked Zi Yan.

"Just return it to him after killing Wang Yutian!" Zi Yan thought that Su Bai used the gun just to kill Wang Yutian.

"Then why did I ask you to buy arsenic?"

Zi Yan smiled embarrassedly.

Su Bai planned to choose a suitable time within one or two days after the burial of Mr. Kong, to move Wang Yutian to an inn farther away from the Kong Mansion, and then take Zi Yan to have a meal with him, and let Zi Yan put the arsenic in during the dinner.

But Zi Yan made a bolder suggestion.

She thought that although moving Wang Yutian to an inn far away from the Confucius Mansion could avoid being noticed by the Confucius Mansion and the guard camp when going in and out, it also had a disadvantage. It was difficult for two women to deal with one man. If Wang Yutian became suspicious first and took action, they would probably suffer.

At least there is no such worry at the Xiankelai Inn. If anything happens, just shout at the window and someone will come to rescue you.

Zi Yan thought that Su Bai didn't need to take the risk and she could go alone.

The time is chosen to be after the burial of Mr. Kong tomorrow.

After the funeral, the Confucius Mansion would hold a grand banquet in the front yard and the second yard to thank the relatives and friends who sent gifts and condolences.

Wang Yutian felt that the Kong family had not forgotten him when they prepared the banquet, so it was reasonable for Zi Yan to take this opportunity to send him some of the main dishes on the banquet to the inn in a food box.

At the same time, in order to further confuse him and make him eat his meal in peace, I made up some useless excuses, such as discussing the terms with him again.

Su Bai felt that Zi Yan's plan was feasible, but she had never killed a chicken before, so she suddenly became nervous and panicked when she thought about having to do it tomorrow.

Zi Yan was much calmer, having stayed in the Kong Mansion for more than two years, she had seen no less than a dozen deaths, and had personally witnessed two people being beaten to death by the housekeeper Kong.

"If you think it's okay, you can let me do it."

Su Bai hugged Zi Yan and said, "Good sister, I will never treat you unfairly."

Zi Yan immediately knelt down in front of Su Bai. She was so honored to be addressed as a sister by the eldest young lady that she did not dare to accept it.

But Su Bai really thought so in his heart. If Zi Yan really accomplished this for him, from now on, she would be his relative.

The two of them simulated tomorrow's plan and steps in detail several times and also made contingency plans for possible accidents.

If Wang Yutian finds out, Su Bai will have no choice but to use Kong Dai to rescue and kill Wang Yutian.

Su Bai believed that as long as he gave the order to shoot, Kong Dai would carry it out. In the future, he could explain to the people in the Kong Mansion that Wang Yutian was his cousin and they had been engaged when they were young, so he kept pestering him and chased him all the way to Long Xing.

But Su Bai had no control over whether Wang Yutian would shout out words that were unfavorable to him before he died, and whether Kong Dai would stop and let him finish after hearing these words.

Su Bai, who never believed in ghosts and gods, lit three incense sticks in the main room that night and knelt in front of the incense and prayed for a long time.
