Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person
Chapter 43 On the verge of collapse
When it comes to doing bad things, Liu Yiyan is absolutely decisive, and the more immoral the thing is, the more perfectly he does it.
Yesterday in Wohu Cave, Su Bai and Liu Yiyan discussed two plans to kidnap the second young lady.
The first plan was to trick the second young lady out of the Kong Mansion and send her to the Western Hills, where Liu Yiyan would take action.
The advantage of doing this is that it can divert attention and make the people of the Kong family, especially those in the Kong family's army, think that it was the two gangs of bandits in Xishan who did it, and they will not suspect Liu at all.
When it comes to being immoral, Su Bai felt that he was not much worse than Liu Yiyan. It was Su Bai's idea to trick the Second Miss into going to Xishan.
In ten days or so, the second wife will have been missing for a full month. The Kong family should build a cenotaph for her in the East Garden like Kong Nankai, and hold a formal funeral for her.
Su Bai knew where the second wife's body was. Wang Yutian told her that it was he who carried his cousin to a small cave.
It was just below the cliff opposite the hillside where the second wife rolled down after being shot.
After the incident, Kong Dai and many people from the Kong residence searched the hillside where the second wife was shot, and they were able to find this place.
As long as this information is revealed to the Second Young Miss, given her personality, she will definitely ask to go and retrieve her mother's body herself.
As long as Su Bai agrees and sends two people to accompany her, they can find the small cave.
Liu Yijian would set an ambush there.
Su Bai had reminded Liu Yiyan more than once that he should only capture the second young lady and scare away the others, and try not to kill anyone.
If the Second Young Lady did not ask to search the mountain in person, Su Bai could not force her to go, so he changed to the second plan.
Simple and crude, just like kidnapping Su Bai, they climbed over the wall into the yard late at night, drugged and kidnapped him.
After a night of constant torment from his conscience, Su Bai got up and was still washing and dressing when the second young lady hurriedly ran into the backyard.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, there is news about my mother!"
"What news?" Su Bai didn't even dare to turn her head. She didn't dare to meet the Second Young Lady's eyes.
He just tilted his face slightly.
Just now, a man came to the gate of the Confucius Mansion and asked for the second young lady, saying that he wanted to tell her the whereabouts of her mother.
You must tell the Second Miss in person, and don’t tell anyone else.
Guo Deyi happened to be in the courtyard at that time. When he heard the news about the second wife, he did not dare to neglect it and immediately called the second young lady over.
This person was sent by Tietou, Su Bai knew it yesterday.
He told the second young lady the exact location of the second wife's body and left in a hurry.
"I want to go, can I?" The second young lady was about to cry.
"Just let a few servants go, you don't have to go, right?" Su Bai pretended to refuse, but his attitude was not firm.
"I want to go!" The second young lady grabbed Su Bai's arm and shook her until she felt a little dizzy.
"Okay, okay, let Yan Xi bring someone with you. I heard from Uncle Kong that Yan Xi has practiced Kung Fu for a few days, and he is also the captain of the spear team. I feel more at ease if he goes."
Su Bai felt that he was becoming more and more evil, so he let Yan Xi go. If Liu Yiyan failed to scare him away, he would definitely kill him.
Just because you don't like Yan Xi, you send him to die?
Without having time to think about so much, Su Bai asked Zi Yan to take the second young lady to tell Guo Deyi and ask him to arrange for Yan Xi to bring someone to accompany the second young lady.
It would be sufficient if one of them had participated in the search during the two days when the second wife disappeared.
After the second young lady left, Su Bai leaned over the dressing table and cried.
About two hours later, Zi Yan brought back news from the front yard that the second young lady had been kidnapped.
Su Bai followed Zi Yan to the front yard, which was already full of people, including Bai Ying.
Of course, those concubines are indispensable for such a big matter.
Yan Xi and the servant came back, and Liu Yiyan kept his promise and did not kill them.
"What's going on?" Su Bai came to Guo Deyi.
The second young lady and Yan Xi arrived at the foot of the cliff that the informant had mentioned and saw the cave. But before they could reach the cave entrance, several people rushed towards them, shooting. Yan Xi and the servant ran back and the second young lady was captured by them.
Guo Deyi said, and slapped Yan Xi in the face: "I should have beaten you just now. You just ran for your own lives and left the second young lady to the bandits. What's the point of the Kong family raising dogs like you?"
Guo Deyi told Su Bai again that he had invited Captain Bai as well, so what to do had to be decided by the eldest young lady.
"Please ask Captain Bai to lead the troops up the mountain to suppress the bandits?" Su Bai asked.
"Yes!" Guo Deyi seemed very anxious, which made Su Bai feel that there was nothing wrong in using this person. No matter what lies he and Kong Dai had told, it was a matter between the two brothers.
"If the eldest young lady wants to use military force, I have to ask for permission from my superiors." Bai Ying took a step forward and made his analysis.
It's not appropriate to suppress the bandits so impulsively.
Not to mention that we cannot be sure which gang of bandits has kidnapped the girl at the moment. Even if we knew, leading the troops to charge forward so recklessly would only put the second young lady in even greater danger.
"If you ask me," the third concubine also took a step forward, "the kidnappers have tasted the sweetness of our Kong Mansion. They released the eldest young lady yesterday, and today they kidnapped the second young lady. Just wait and see. After the second young lady is released, it will be the eldest young lady's turn. I just don't know when it will be my turn."
The fourth concubine immediately took over the conversation: "Are you still thinking about the kidnappers bringing you candy?"
There was laughter among the crowd.
Guo Deyi immediately got angry: "Who laughed just now? Stand up and you won't be allowed to eat for two days!"
The fourth concubine came at him immediately and said, "Guo Deyi, do you want to rebel just because the young mistress is backing you up? I just laughed. Do you want to starve me for two days?"
"No, no," Guo Deyi explained hurriedly. He wanted to punish the servants and maids who laughed, so how could they dare to be rude to the Fourth Madam?
"Enough, why are you still making trouble at this time?" As soon as Su Bai spoke, the whole courtyard fell silent.
"I would like to hear Captain Bai's opinion." Su Bai asked Bai Ying.
Bai Ying felt that there was nothing to do and she could only wait for the kidnappers to deliver the letter and see how much ransom they wanted.
The third concubine was talking too much again. It cost two hundred dollars to redeem the eldest young lady yesterday. The second young lady is a virgin, so she must be worth much more.
This damn woman is using this incident to say that Su Bai is worthless.
Two hundred dollars?
Su Bai understood that Kong Dai had said this on purpose for the people in the Kong residence to hear. If they knew that he had spent 1000 yuan, who knows how they would make a fuss.
"Okay, then wait, everyone go away."
As soon as Su Bai finished speaking, Yan Xi muttered from below: "There is a traitor in our Kong Mansion, working together inside and outside to kidnap the second young lady!"
"Who is the traitor? Tell me." The third and fourth concubines squeezed to Yan Xi's side as if they had found a treasure.
Su Bai saw Yan Xi secretly glance at him and was shocked. Could it be that this guy knew something?
Yan Xi did not say anything further, only saying that it was his inference based on recent events in the Confucius Mansion. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Su Bai again.
This Yan Xi...there is definitely something wrong with him!
It was Guo Deyi who came out and dispersed everyone. Seeing that there was no one to talk to, the third and fourth concubines also left.
The last one to leave was the Sixth Concubine, who sang a passage from "Silang Visits His Mother" as she walked away: "Hearing his words, I was so scared that I was sweating all over..."
I don’t know if she was frightened and sweating, but Su Bai was really sweating.
After everyone left, Su Bai realized that there was still one thing he had not done. Although the second young lady had been kidnapped, the remains of the second wife still had to be retrieved.
Guo Deyi told Su Bai that since the kidnapping of the second young lady was a trap, the matter of the second wife's remains must be fake, and the kidnappers deliberately deceived the second young lady.
Su Bai nodded: "That makes sense."
But she still asked Guo Deyi to take people there to take a look so that she would feel at ease. What if it really was there?
Of course there are, this is true.
"You should lead the group yourself. I don't trust others. Take a few more people with you."
Guo Deyi didn't care. The kidnappers had already run away after kidnapping the person and he was safe now.
He asked Su Bai again what to do with Yan Xi, since he failed to protect the second young lady and he escaped with his life. According to the previous family rules, he should be beaten up and kicked out of the house.
Su Bai remembered the look in Yan Xi's eyes when he peeked at him, and immediately rejected Guo Deyi's punishment method.
"We'll talk about it later. Remember it first."
"The eldest young lady is so kind!" It can be seen that Guo Deyi was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Bai's decision, but he did not make any rebuttal and carried out what the eldest young lady said.
Ideas are ideas, execution is execution, and Su Bai once again felt that Guo Deyi was the right person.
Guo Deyi left the Confucius Mansion with two servants.
Bai Ying came up to Su Bai and asked quietly, "I'll go tell Captain Zhou that he doesn't need to stay in the hospital anymore, right?"
Obviously, Zhou Beiwang told him everything. He knew that the kidnapping was planned by Su Bai, and he also understood what Zhou Beiwang asked him to tell Su Bai. While he was delaying Gao Hu, he should do everything that needed to be done.
Su Bai nodded, Bai Ying smiled knowingly and left the Confucius Mansion.
Su Bai was in a very bad mood. After returning to the backyard, he didn't even eat lunch.
Zi Yan didn't dare to speak and stood silently on the steps outside the door.
Guo Deyi is back.
They brought back a piece of news that they had found the cave. It was a small cave that could just accommodate one person. Once inside the cave, the person couldn't even lift his waist.
Not to mention people, I didn’t even see a ghost!
Guo Deyi added, "I said, the kidnappers must have used this fake news to trick the Second Lady into taking the bait. Kong Dai and his men searched for two days but couldn't find anything. How could the kidnappers find the Second Lady's remains so easily? The Young Madam is really too kind!"
"I got it. Let's go eat." Su Bai felt like he didn't have the strength to speak anymore.
The second wife's remains were not in the cave. For Su Bai, this was terrible, even fatal, bad news.
It was impossible that Wang Yutian lied to himself. He must have carried his second wife into the cave.
There is only one possibility, the second wife is still alive!
Su Bai felt that all the hairs on his body stood up.
One accident after another finally made Su Bai unable to bear it anymore. The long-term mental stress made her feel that she was about to collapse.
Give up, I lost.
Before Gao Hu took over the guard of the Confucius Mansion, he left the Confucius Mansion alone and stayed away from the disputes.
But before that, she had to do one thing, get the second young lady back from Liu Yiyan.
