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

"What should I do?" Zi Yan kept twisting her body and stomping her feet.

Su Bai was not anxious yet, but she was the first to get anxious.

The eldest young lady was targeted by two men at the same time, and it happened that these two men were not easy to deal with.

Zhou Beiwang is okay, at least he won't do anything reckless, but Liu Yikou is different. Who knows when he will jump over the wall and enter the Confucius Mansion?

"What is supposed to come will come, you don't have to worry about it." Su Bai felt helpless when he said this.

Su Bai asked Zi Yan to inform her brother that she would officially start working in the Confucius Mansion tomorrow and would live in the east wing in our backyard.

"Really?" Zi Yan was very happy.

"The servants in our house get two dollars a month, and the guards who carry guns get two and a half dollars. Your brother will get the same monthly salary as the guards."

"I thank the eldest young lady on behalf of my brother!" Zi Yan said, and jumped in front of Su Bai.

Su Bai told Zi Yan that these were just the numbers on the account, and she would give each of the brother and sister an additional three dollars.

"Too, too much." Zi Yan said that the servant with the highest monthly salary in the Kong Mansion was Kong Dai, who only earned eight dollars a month. She and her brother earned more than five dollars, which was too much compared to other ordinary servants.

Su Bai smiled and asked Zi Yan: "You said you are mine, right?"

"Yup!"

"What about your brother?" Su Bai asked again.

"Of course he is the young mistress's person!"

"Okay, my people are worth this salary. This is only for now, and there will be more in the future."

"Do you want more?" Zi Yan was a little confused.

The next morning, when Zi Yan was taking her brother to the front yard at the gate of Kong Mansion, she was stopped by the annoying Yan Xi.

Helplessly, Zi Yan had to run back to the backyard and invite Su Bai to the front yard. Unexpectedly, this guy didn't even listen to Su Bai.

"The eldest young lady wants to bring a new person into the mansion. I dare not say anything, but the second master is still in the mansion. I should ask him for permission, right?"

Su Bai was so angry that his stomach was bloated. Kong Dai was a very smart man, why did he choose such a thing for himself?

Su Bai understood that even if he got angry and scolded him, he would still use the Second Master to resist with a playful smile, and argue with a servant in the yard, which would be bad for other people in the Kong Mansion to see. So he didn't say anything to him and turned back to the Second Courtyard to find Kong Chen.

"Yes, I have told Yan Xi that if there is anything in the mansion in the future, he must inform me, and he is not allowed to contradict you, right?" The second master slammed the table and said, "This bastard!"

He asked the guards to call Yan Xi in.

As soon as Yan Xi entered the house, Kong Chen slapped her in the face: "Don't you know who is in charge of this family? Even I have to listen to the arrangements of the eldest young lady. You dare to contradict the eldest young lady. Have you had enough of living?"

Yan Xi covered his face and muttered, "Didn't you tell me that no strangers would be allowed in?"

"Can the people that the young lady wants to use be considered strangers?" Kong Chen kicked Yan Xi again.

Su Bai watched all this coldly. It was certain that Yan Xi had suffered some injustice, but it was not ruled out that Kong Chen had deliberately put on a show for him.

Just be patient and wait for Kong Dai to buy back the equipment and raw materials, produce and sell his first batch of medicine, and then leave this hellhole of Kong Mansion.

Zi Yan’s surname is Yuan, her full name is Yuan Zi Yan, and her brother’s name is Yuan Yuze.

After bringing the brother and sister back to the backyard, Su Bai asked Zi Yan to give a set of her unused bedding to her brother.

"How can this be possible? I can just go to the front and get a set."

Now the miscellaneous affairs of the Kong Mansion are under the charge of Yan Xi. It seems that Yan Xi has a grudge against Zi Yan. No matter what happens through his hands, she is never happy.

"No need. The bedding we brought back from the front yard is all old. Yuze is one of our family members. I can't use so many beddings. Just give them to Yuze."

He called the brother and sister "Yu Ze" one by one, which touched them deeply.

The Kong Mansion was a wealthy family among wealthy families, so of course they were very particular about marrying a daughter-in-law. There were eight beddings and eight quilts, but how could Su Bai use so many by himself? Zi Yan's quilt was used as a bandage to bandage Liu Yimou's wound. Then Su Bai took out a set of quilts from the cabinet for Zi Yan, and then took out another set for Yuan Yuze.

"I'll talk to Captain Zhou and I'll take you to practice shooting when I'm free." Su Bai recruited Yuan Yuze to stay by his side. In addition to running errands, he also had to work part-time as a bodyguard.

Fortunately, Yu Ze had used a hunting rifle before, so he could use it after Zhou Beiwang practiced with him. At least he was no worse than those servants in the Confucius Mansion.

……

Liu Yiyan not only kept his promise, but also acted extremely quickly. Just one day later, the famous doctor Jiang and his son in the Sanlong area were killed in the backyard of a pharmacy in Linhua, along with the owner of the pharmacy.

The news quickly spread to Longxing City, reached Su Bai's ears, and also reached Zhou Beiwang's ears.

The day after Yuan Yuze arrived at the Kong Mansion, he went to Zhou Beiwang to practice shooting. With Yuan Yuze, even if Kong Chen was still in the Kong Mansion, the communication between Su Bai and Zhou Beiwang would be very convenient.

Zhou Beiwang asked Su Bai to meet again at Jingxuan Teahouse.

Just like last time, Xu Tianyi went to the teahouse first to clear the area.

"This is the best tea in this teahouse, try it!" Zhou Beiwang asked Xu Tianyi to bring the tea set to the table, and he personally performed tea art for Su Bai.

Su Bai took a sip and was filled with the refreshing aroma of the tea.

She put down the teacup and said, "It is bad luck for the shopkeeper to meet a living Yan Wang like you."

However, Zhou Beiwang said that the money he gave to the shopkeeper was more than his operating income, and the shopkeeper was very happy about it.

"Really?" Su Bai didn't quite believe it: "Tell me, why did you ask me out?"

Zhou Beiwang first told Su Bai some not-so-good news: Kong Chen would be returning to Tianlong County in the next few days, but this time, the right to guard the Kong Mansion would no longer belong to Zhou Beiwang.

This time, Kong Chen transferred two platoons from Tianlong, one platoon was stationed at the Kong family ancestral tomb, and the other platoon was stationed at the Kong family compound.

This platoon will be living in the Kong Mansion, and Zhou Beiwang estimates that Kong Chen will soon ask Su Bai to vacate the room.

"Then how dare you ask me out?" It was obvious that Kong Chen began to suspect that Zhou Beiwang and Su Bai were getting close.

Zhou Beiwang told Su Bai something she didn't know before. When Kong Chen transferred him to be in charge of the guards of Longxing and Kong Mansion, he specifically asked him to keep a close eye on the eldest lady Su Bai.

No matter what Su Bai does in the Confucius Mansion, no one needs to worry about it. As long as Su Bai leaves the Confucius Mansion, soldiers will be sent to protect him no matter where he goes.

"Look how much your second master cares about the safety of you, the eldest lady!" Zhou Beiwang deliberately angered Su Bai.

This is clearly surveillance, but it would be more accurate to say control.

From now on, Zhou Beiwang’s guard battalion will only be responsible for the defense of Longxing City, and he will no longer be responsible for the affairs of the Confucius Mansion.

Zhou Beiwang felt that Su Bai was thinking too much. Kong Chen should not care about the normal interactions between him and Su Bai. What he cared about was that Zhou Beiwang did not completely follow his orders and follow Su Bai closely.

"I think..." Zhou Beiwang paused: "Before the batch of gold bars is found, you will not be able to enter and leave the Confucius Mansion as freely as you are now."

Zhou Beiwang was very happy, because now no one was monitoring him. Although the platoon guarding the Kong Mansion was transferred from Tianlong County, the platoon leader was the tall and thin man named Gao Hu who was arranged by Kong Chen to be beside him.

"I'm sorry, I've affected your future."

Zhou Beiwang laughed. There was no future at all. The Japanese were eyeing North China covetously. Sooner or later, there would be a war. As a soldier, it was his duty to defend the land and protect his home.

"The fighting hasn't started yet." Su Bai said casually, but he was calculating in his mind. If it was really as Zhou Beiwang said, that Gao Hu was ordered to take over the guard of the Kong Mansion, then his previous plan of leaving the Kong Mansion after selling the first batch of medicine would not be so easy.

Now Su Bai hopes that Kong Chen can find the gold bars as soon as possible.

How could it be that easy? Even if he corrected Kong Chen with the words his master left before his death, could he find the gold bars just by the word "Dong"?

I can't correct him. Saying so would mean that I had deliberately lied to him before. Who knows how he would deal with me?

Su Bai thought again of the seal left by the master. It must have a special meaning and perhaps be related to this batch of gold bars.

For every major expenditure and income of the Kong Mansion, Mr. Kong would stamp his seal on the account book, but it was not the one left for Su Bai. The seal on the account book was less than two centimeters square, while the one left for Su Bai was much larger, more than five centimeters.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Beiwang noticed that Su Bai was distracted.

"Nothing, if you have anything else, tell me."

Zhou Beiwang retracted his smile and said, "Tell me the truth. Was the death of Dr. Jiang caused by the people in Panlong Cave? Was it you who ordered it?"
