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

Guo Deyi thought that this bandit was most likely interested in the second young lady and wanted to keep her as his concubine, otherwise he would not have asked for such a large ransom. The letter had been sent in the middle of the night today, and the money had to be paid by three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. No matter how wealthy the Kong family was, it was impossible for them to collect twenty thousand dollars in just half a day.

If it were in the past, it wouldn't be difficult to take a little bit from each shop and business, but now it's different. All these shops have been given to Kong Chen, and there's nothing he can do.

Guo Deyi suggested that he would go to Xishankou in person tomorrow to meet with the kidnappers and renegotiate terms with them.

Su Bai was so angry that he didn't say a word.

If we look at it from the perspective of Guo Deyi, an outsider, his analysis makes sense.

But Su Bai knew clearly that Liu Yiyan was deliberately making trouble.

She was 100% sure that when Guo Deyi went to Xishankou to keep the appointment at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, he would not see anyone there, and Liu Yizhong had no intention of coming at all.

What else can we do? We can only wait until tomorrow and ask Yuan Yuze to find Tietou again and ask him to give Liu Yiyan some harsh words, asking him to stop making trouble.

"Damn it, you're eating from the bowl and thinking about the pot!" Zi Yan cursed angrily.

This time, Su Bai hit her very hard and started talking nonsense again.

I am not in the pot, and the second lady is not in the bowl.

Yuan Yuze went to find Tietou as soon as he got up. Su Bai couldn't sit still in the backyard, so he came to the front yard.

Guo Deyi and a group of servants were busy in the yard. Su Bai asked and found out that tomorrow was the third seventh day of his master's death.

Sanqi needs to prepare a lot of things for the grave visit. Guo Deyi invited Su Bai into the hall and read out the money he was going to spend one by one to Su Bai, asking Su Bai to decide which items should be spent and which should not be spent.

Guo Deyi was telling Su Bai about every detail, but Su Bai was looking towards the mansion gate absentmindedly. Yuan Yuze had been gone for a while, why hadn't he come back yet?

Nothing will happen again, right?

Su Bai felt that if he continued like this, sooner or later he would either be annoyed to death or scared to death.

It seems as if I am destined, and there are only accidents in life.

Yuan Yuze couldn't wait to come back, and several concubines came again. The fourth concubine poked her head out and saw Su Bai inside. They didn't come in, but were just under the steps outside the hall, not too far away, a place where Su Bai could hear them talking.

The Third Concubine smiled so hard that her mouth almost reached her ears: "The kidnappers want 20,000 dollars. My god, no matter how valuable the Second Young Lady is, she can't be worth a hundred Young Lady Ladies!"

The fourth concubine agreed: "I think seventy or eighty young ladies are still worth it."

Su Bai couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the teapot on the table and stood up, but was stopped by the eldest lady who came in from outside: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, they will get their comeuppance sooner or later!"

Zi Yan snatched the teapot from Su Bai's hand and advised Su Bai not to get angry. They were so arrogant because they had the support of the Second Master behind them. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

"You're using bad words!" Su Bai had no choice but to hold the eldest lady tightly.

Seeing Su Bai sitting down, the eldest lady asked Zi Yan to help her close the door of the main room and lock it, then she helped Su Bai into the side room next door, and everything became quiet.

It was only after Guo Deyi persuaded these plague gods to go back that Su Bai sat back in the lobby, opened the door and waited for Yuan Yuze.

Yuan Yuze didn't come back until lunchtime. He told Su Bai that he didn't see Tietou. According to the madam of Zuihuayuan, Tietou had not returned since he went out last night.

Yuan Yuze waited for the whole morning and felt that he might not be able to wait for Tietou even if he kept waiting, so he came back to eat and planned to go to Zuihuayuan after dinner.

The three of them went back to the backyard to eat. Yuan Yuze asked if Kong Dai had returned. Only then did Su Bai remember him. He almost forgot about this person.

He checked into the inn yesterday and half a day has passed today. What does it mean that he hasn’t come back yet?

The master is going to celebrate his 37th birthday tomorrow. Why is he staying in the inn all this time?

The mansion is in such a mess right now, and this is when Su Bai needs Kong Dai the most. Fortunately, Guo Deyi is capable. If it was still the same Yan Xi, who knows how chaotic the Kong Mansion would be.

"Go find Kong Dai after dinner and tell him that I asked him to come back immediately!" Su Bai said to Yuan Yuze.

Before the meal was over, Su Bai changed his mind again. Yuan Yuze went to Zuihuayuan first, and if Tietou had not come back yet, he should go to the inn and not see Kong Dai. He should ask the waiter at the counter about Kong Dai's situation and see who he was with.

"What if we get bumped into by the housekeeper?" Zi Yan asked.

Yuan Yuze had a good idea. There was a clerk in the store where he used to work who had a good relationship with him. He could ask him to inquire at the inn for him.

As the chief steward of the Kong family, many people in Longxing City recognize him, but Kong Dai definitely does not recognize his friend Yuan Yuze.

Su Bai gave Yuan Yuze some money to take care of the inn's staff.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Deyi took two people to Xishankou to keep the appointment, and Yuan Yuze went to Zuihuayuan.

As Su Bai expected, Guo Deyi and his men waited near Xishankou for more than an hour, but did not see a single ghost.

Yuan Yuze still didn't wait for Tietou, but he did accomplish one thing. He asked his friend to give two dollars to the inn waiter, and then he got to know Kong Dai's situation clearly.

Kong Dai checked into this inn around noon yesterday and paid for two days' stay in one go. He was going to stay in the inn for two nights.

Kong Dai was alone. After moving into the inn, he had been staying in his room the whole time, except for going out to buy two packs of cigarettes yesterday. Meals were delivered to his room by the waiter, and Kong Dai had no contact with anyone in the inn.

After learning about this situation, Yuan Yuze took the initiative to ask his friend to give another dollar to the innkeeper, and asked Kong Dai to tell him at any time if there was any new situation, if he went out or met anyone.

Su Bai affirmed that Yuan Yuze did the right thing.

It’s strange, what on earth is Kong Dai trying to do?

Do nothing and lock yourself in the inn for two days?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

As soon as Yuan Yuze found out about this situation, Su Bai's annoyance caused by Liu Yiyan was immediately replaced by curiosity.

After thinking about it for a long time, they still couldn't figure out the purpose of Kong Dai's strange behavior. Zi Yan and Yuan Yuze said that Kong Dai couldn't be so bored. Since he had done nothing in the past two days, it meant that he had not finished what he wanted to do and he would most likely do it tonight.

Su Bai thought it made sense, so he sent Yuan Yuze out again to Zuihuayuan to wait for Tietou. At the same time, he kept in touch with his friend and reported back immediately if Kong Dai had any action.

Then she called Guo Deyi over.

"Tomorrow is the seventh day after the master's death, and Uncle Kong hasn't come back yet. Where is your hometown? How far is it from here?"

Guo Deyi and Kong Dai's hometown is a very difficult place to pronounce, and Su Bai has never heard of it. However, Guo Deyi told Su Bai that based on the distance, Kong Dai would not be able to return until tonight at the earliest after going back and forth to his hometown to visit his grave.

now it's right.

Kong Dai never returned to his hometown to visit his ancestors' graves.

Regarding the date of his father's death, Guo Deyi remembered the correct day.

The Kong Mansion's carriage took Kong Dai to Linhua the morning before yesterday. Yesterday at noon he quietly returned to Longxing and stayed in the inn.

He had finished all the things he needed to do between the morning of the day before yesterday and noon yesterday. Since Guo Deyi knew that he would not be back from his hometown until tonight at the earliest, he stayed in the inn alone and did nothing but spend his time there until tonight.

Let everyone know that he has indeed returned to his hometown.

So, what shameful things did he do in the day before noon yesterday?
