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

Zi Yan was getting anxious. The eldest young lady had to survive at all costs.

No matter what crime Zhou Beiwang wanted to punish her for, she would bear it alone.

"Can you handle it? Do you think Zhou Beiwang will believe you?"

According to Su Bai's judgment, even if Zhou Beiwang had cleared Wang Yutian, he would not come to the Kong Mansion to arrest him, but would report the interrogation results to Kong Chen.

"Forget it, this matter is not up to you and me, let's wait and see." Su Bai touched Zi Yan's long braid.

"We... have to do something, right?" Zi Yan looked anxious.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

A servant came to report that Captain Zhou of the Guard Battalion was waiting for a meeting at the gate of Confucius Mansion.

On the surface, Zhou Beiwang was very well-behaved. Although he was responsible for guarding the entire city and the Kong Mansion, he had never entered the Kong family without permission.

"Invite him in!"

"Invite him here?" The servant was a little surprised. When the master was alive, only very important guests would be invited to the backyard for a meeting, and usually they would be received in the main hall of the front yard.

"Stop talking too much!" Zi Yan spoke.

Su Bai and Zi Yan stood at the door of the main hall to welcome the guest who might decide their life or death. After a while, Zhou Beiwang strode to the backyard.

There is still a smile on his face as always.

"Please come in, Captain Zhou." Su Bai turned sideways and invited Zhou Beiwang into the house.

"No, I have military duties to attend to. I will leave after a few words."

Zhou Beiwang took out the Browning pocket pistol and handed it to Zi Yan: "Keep it safe and don't lose it again."

Turning to Su Bai, he said, "Madam, you are still being distant with me. From now on, just let me handle things like today. There is no need to let Zi Yan take risks."

Su Bai was completely confused. What did this mean?

Zhou Beiwang also told Su Bai that Wang Yutian had been executed.

"I'm going to send a few soldiers to carry him out of the city and find a place to bury him. They're waiting outside the Confucius Mansion. Madam, do you want to go out and take a look?"

"No, that's not necessary." Su Bai wanted to say that this person had nothing to do with him and there was no need to verify his identity, but he couldn't say it out loud because it was too fake.

Unexpectedly, Zi Yan beside him said, "I'll go take a look!"

Su Bai wanted to pull Zi Yan up, but she was so quick that she was already standing next to Zhou Beiwang.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will kill Wang Yutian directly after I bring him back to the camp. I have no reason and I won't ask why."

What he meant by this was that he knew nothing.

But Su Bai knew that what he really wanted to tell himself was that he knew everything.

Who is this person? What is he going to do with the evidence against him?

Su Bai even had a bold guess that since he came to him and said these words, he would most likely not report the matter to Kong Chen.

So what is he going to do?

Want money?

Lustful?

It's all possible.

A guy with a dagger hidden behind his smile, a beast in human form!

Su Bai suddenly found it difficult to breathe, as if he had just broken free from a rope that bound him, but was immediately tied up by another rope.

Zi Yan followed Zhou Beiwang and came back after a while.

Wang Yutian was indeed dead, she saw it clearly.

Zhou Beiwang also asked her to convey a message to Su Bai. He had no other intentions, he just wanted to help Su Bai, that was all.

"Do you believe what he said?" Su Bai asked Zi Yan.

"I believe it. I think Captain Zhou is a good man!"

"Go back to your room and sleep for a while. I'm going to sleep too." It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Su Bai only planned to lie in bed for a short nap.

For Zhou Beiwang, it was neither right to believe it nor not to believe it. He could only follow the old saying: When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.

However, I, a general, cannot stop the soldiers, and I, a pile of earth, cannot cover the water.

I can only sigh: My fate is determined by God, not by myself.

In the afternoon, Kong Dai came to find Su Bai to visit the Kong family's ancestral hall.

The Confucius Mansion did not build a special ancestral hall outside, but set it up in the main house in the west backyard.

The main backyard where Su Bai is located is the East Backyard if you go east through a moon gate, and the West Backyard is separated by a door to the west. The difference is that there is no moon gate between the West Backyard and the main backyard, but a double door.

Since the ancestral hall was located here, the side rooms on both sides of the west backyard were uninhabited and were used as storehouses for the Confucius Mansion.

In the main hall of the main house are tablets of several generations of the Kong family, with the one at the top being Mr. Kong’s great-grandfather.

Including the tablet of the eldest young master Kong Nankai at the bottom, there are exactly five generations.

What surprised Su Bai was that there was a photo on Mr. Kong’s seat, and there was also a photo of Mr. Kong’s father, Old Master Kong, but there was no photo on Kong Nankai’s seat.

Kong Dai explained the reason to Su Bai.

Three years ago, several warlords joined forces to attack the Kong family army. When the two armies were fighting, an enemy army took a detour and attacked the Kong Mansion. Kong Dai fled with his family.

When the master led his troops back to the Confucius Mansion, it had already become a sea of ​​fire.

There were originally photos of the eldest young master in the Confucius Mansion, but they were all burned in the fire.

The Kong family army was eventually defeated and retreated to their hometown Longxing, where they rebuilt the Kong Mansion.

But because the eldest young master was having an affair with a foreign woman, the master did not allow him to go home, and there were no more photos of the eldest young master in the house.

"Didn't the young madam and the eldest young master take any photos when they were in Tianjin?" Kong Dai asked.

"Yes, I did. Before I got married to Longxing, I put some old clothes and photos into two suitcases and left them at my aunt's house. When I have time to go back to Tianjin in the future, I will get the photos back." Su Bai couldn't think of a more appropriate response, so he could only say this.

"Yes," Kong Dai sighed, "The eldest master died young, so there should be some photos. When the grandson is born in the future, he will know what his father looks like."

"Who killed Nankai? Do you have any clues?" Su Bai asked.

Kong Dai shook his head, having no clue at all.

It is said that the eldest young master only knows a few people in Longxing County, and it is even more impossible for him to have enemies. The more likely possibility is that it was done by the master's enemies, but there are too many possibilities and it is impossible to investigate.

"Could it be Japanese?"

Su Bai analyzed the matter of the second wife to Kong Dai, speaking in Zhou Beiwang's tone.

Zhou Beiwang has already determined that the group of men in black who were surveying in the mountains were Japanese, and that the second wife must have heard or seen something that led to her being killed.

Since this group of people have been surveying and exploring in the mountains, it has not been a one- or two-day thing. Maybe they started more than a month ago.

Xishankou is the only way to enter Longxing County. According to the eyewitness at that time, the shepherd, the eldest master was killed near Xishankou and thrown into the Tonglong River.

So, will the eldest young master discover the same secrets as the second wife that those people don’t want others to know?

In fact, his secret is very simple, which is their fake Chinese and real Japanese identities.

"So, the Japanese are going to enter Shandong?" Kong Dai asked.

"I guess, it will happen." Su Bai felt a little funny after saying this. This was not a guess, it clearly happened in history.

Su Bai's knowledge of history was average. She couldn't remember the year when the Japanese invaded Shandong, probably between 1937 and 1938. But one thing was certain, it must have been after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.

The Marco Polo Bridge Incident took place on July 1937, 7. This will never be forgotten. Every Chinese should remember the July 7 Incident.

It is now June 1936, at least a year before the Japanese invasion of Shandong in history.

Su Bai calculated the date in his mind, but he unknowingly whispered it out loud.

Kong Dai immediately asked, "In your opinion, Madam, the Japanese will not invade Shandong this year?"

Having said that, Su Bai simply showed off: "Probably... after next autumn. We need to prepare for it in advance."

It is not possible to go into more detail. We cannot say that the next step is to move the Confucius Mansion to Chongqing or northern Shaanxi, and then return after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, right?

My ideal before traveling through time was to become a biochemical pharmaceutical scholar who could make outstanding contributions to mankind. After traveling through time to this era, this ideal is easier to achieve, with just a small bottle of penicillin.

What's more, my knowledge reserves are far more than just one bottle of penicillin.

However, Su Bai found that he was becoming vulgar and his ideals became secondary. The first thing he had to do was to eliminate all hidden dangers and control the huge assets of the Confucius Mansion.

Also, find that mysterious fortune.

A servant came to report that the Third Mistress invited the Eldest Mistress to sit in the East Third Courtyard.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that several concubines had gathered in the East Third Courtyard.

What is this for? Are you going to raise an army to hold someone accountable?
