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

Early in the morning, Su Bai, without combing his hair or washing his face, hurriedly sent Yuan Yuze out to Zuihuayuan to find Tietou and ask him to deliver a letter to the mountain to bring back the second lady Kong Yun.

The eldest daughter, Kong Man, was also very anxious about her sister's kidnapping. She waited in the lobby of the front yard for almost the entire morning, waiting for the kidnappers' ransom demand.

Su Bai was also waiting, she was waiting for Tietou's reply.

After lunch, Tietou sent someone to deliver a letter.

Su Bai had no choice but to let Yuan Yuze go to Zuihuayuan again. Yuan Yuze came back soon. Tietou had already taken the letter to the mountain. The mountain replied before noon. Commander Liu said that the second young lady was living a very happy life in the mountain and he couldn't bear to let her go back.

What tricks is this bastard trying to play?

Zi Yan said that the young lady trusted Liu Yiyan too much. Liu Yiyan always acted immorally. Don't think that he helped because he remembered Su Bai's life-saving grace. He wanted the young lady!

"He won't do the same to the Second Miss..."

Su Bai glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense!"

However, Su Bai felt that what Zi Yan said was not completely unreasonable. Liu Yiyan had already made his thoughts very straightforward. He sent down the mountain such a piece of news that no one would believe, probably because he wanted some money.

Liu Yiyan's reasons were very sufficient. Since he had kidnapped the second young lady, he should finish the play from beginning to end and extort money from the Kong family at the same time.

If he were to be let go of the mountain directly, it would be too unreasonable and would cause more suspicion in the government.

There is no way. Communication nowadays is not inconvenient, it is almost non-existent. It takes half a day for a message to come back and forth, and it is useless just to be anxious.

Su Bai asked Yuan Yuze to go to Zuihualou again and asked him to take the letter to Liu Yiyan today and ask Liu Yiyan to deliver the redemption conditions to the Kong Mansion before tomorrow morning and try to redeem Kong Yun tomorrow afternoon.

"Let Tietou tell Liu that the ransom cannot exceed 200 yuan!"

Zi Yan burst out laughing at the side.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Bai reacted immediately. When he was redeemed by Kong Dai, he told other people in the mansion that the ransom was 200 yuan. Yesterday, the third wife said that the ransom for the second young lady must be more than 200 because the second young lady was a virgin.

Implicitly criticizing Su Bai for being worthless.

Today, I asked Tietou to tell Liu Yiyan that the ransom should not exceed 200 yuan. Zi Yan understood it as I wanted to show the Third Concubine and the others that the Second Miss was not worth more than myself.

"What's on your mind?" Su Bai patted Zi Yan lightly on the forehead.

Zi Yan wronged Su Bai. She was so anxious now that she didn't think about it that way.

Zi Yan had comforted Su Bai in the morning. Not finding the Second Madam's remains did not prove that she was still alive. First of all, what Wang Yutian said might not be true. Even if what he said was true, the Second Madam's body had been in that shallow cave for more than half a month. There were many crows in the Siling Mountains, and some people had even seen vultures. The Second Madam might have been eaten by these animals a long time ago.

Su Bai asked her at the time: "Will crows and vultures eat the bones as well?"

Zi Yan said that maybe there were other animals as well. In short, she thought that the second wife must be dead, otherwise she would have returned long ago.

Zi Yan's comfort didn't have much effect, Su Bai still felt that the second wife would come back at any time.

I hope Liu Yiyan won't do anything weird again.

Zuihuayuan was not far from the Confucius Mansion, so Yuan Yuze came back quickly and told Tietou the message, and he agreed to go up the mountain immediately.

Tietou also said that in the future when he has news to pass on to Su Bai, he will no longer send people to the front door of the Confucius Mansion to report it. After a long time, people will find out the flaw. He will write the news on paper and throw it in from outside the backyard of the Confucius Mansion, asking Su Bai to be more careful in the future.

Su Bai nodded, Tietou was right to think so.

"I have something important to report," Yuan Yuze said with a hint of excitement in his mystery: "I saw the butler!"

"Who? Kong Dai?" Su Bai thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yeah, who else could it be if not him?"

Wow, I didn’t expect Kong Dai had this hobby, visiting brothels?

It’s not difficult to understand. Kong Dai never married in his life, so he had needs.

Su Bai was thinking the wrong thing. Yuan Yuze didn't see Kong Dai in Zuihuayuan. When he came out of Zuihuayuan, he saw Kong Dai buying two packs of cigarettes from the cigarette stand across the street.

Kong Dai was obviously afraid of being discovered, so he wore a top hat with the brim pulled down low.

"You're not recognizing the wrong person, are you?" Su Bai still couldn't believe it.

Yuan Yuze said that he saw it clearly and there was no mistake about it, it was Butler Kong.

Su Bai knew that Kong Dai smoked, but he rarely smoked in front of Su Bai.

Yesterday I was thinking about buying him a few boxes of good cigarettes.

He went back to his hometown to worship his father, and he came back so soon?

Why didn’t you go back to Confucius’ Mansion and hide your hat behind others for fear of being recognized?

Yuan Yuze went on to say that he quietly followed Kong Dai and found that he entered a large inn not far away.

Su Bai was even more confused. Why didn't he come back to live in the spacious house at the Confucius Mansion, but instead stayed in an inn.

If you can't understand it, there might be something fishy going on.

Yuan Yuze didn't dare to follow Kong Dai into the inn. Since he didn't want to be recognized, it would be bad if Kong Dai found him.

"You did the right thing." Su Bai praised Yuan Yuze while looking at the roof and pondering the matter. He murmured unconsciously, "He left early yesterday morning and returned today after visiting his hometown and graves. He should have gone to the inn to meet someone before returning to the Confucius Mansion. Why is he afraid of being seen?"

Zi Yan didn't think there was any problem. She would wait until Kong Dai came back and asked him everything would be clear.

After hearing Zi Yan's words, Su Bai began to doubt if he was thinking too much. Couldn't Kong Dai have some private affairs of his own?

She had made up her mind that when Kong Dai came back, if he didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask him either, so that he wouldn't misunderstand her and think that she didn't trust him and sent someone to follow him.

However, Kong Dai did not come back until 11 o'clock in the evening.

Liu Yiyan did have news. Someone threw a ball of paper from outside the west wall of the Confucius Mansion into the west front yard, and shouted outside the yard, asking someone to give it to the eldest young lady, saying that it was the second young lady's business.

Except for the maids in each room, all the servants in the Confucius Mansion lived in the east front yard and the west front yard. After picking up the paper ball, they immediately handed it to Guo Deyi.

Guo Deyi didn't stop for a moment and ran to the backyard with the paper ball that was the size of his fist.

This paper ball was made of several crumpled pieces of paper, which were peeled off layer by layer. As Su Bai peeled off the layers, he cursed Liu in his heart, saying that he was so bad and naughty. He made sending a letter seem like a secret recipe passed down from his ancestors. He used so much paper, but the only useful thing was the small note wrapped inside.

Zi Yan said that it was wrapped so tightly to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

Zi Yan has also learned to talk nonsense. No matter how tightly it is wrapped, it is still paper. How can the wind not blow it away?

This reminded Su Bai that next time Tietou threw a note into his backyard, he must never throw it in like this, otherwise it would be blown to another yard by the wind.

Finally, I dug out the small note, which had a line of small words written on it: Tomorrow at 6 pm, bring 20,000 yuan to Xishankou to redeem the person. "

Su Bai was so angry that he almost jumped up. Isn't this Liu Yiyan, who has no descendants, deliberately making trouble for him?
