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

Things have come to this point. Su Bai felt that he could not get anything out of Kong Yun. She might really believe Liu Yiyan's nonsense.

Su Bai could only tell Kong Yun part of the truth. It was because she urged Commander Liu to send Kong Yun down the mountain as soon as possible that Tietou hit Miss Kong Man's head when he delivered a letter to her. She thought that she had someone outside and had not spoken to her for several days, like an enemy.

"It's all right once I tell my sister. I'll bring her here to apologize to you!" Kong Yun leaned forward and acted like a spoiled child, "Sister-in-law, I want to eat the nine-turn large intestine."

"Okay, let the kitchen make it for you!"

"Fry more. My sister and I will eat it together. She also likes this dish."

"No, I'll only give it to you!" Su Bai was just talking, and Kong Yun didn't believe it, so he took Zi Yan to the kitchen in the front yard to pass on the order.

Kong Dai was already waiting in the yard.

"Uncle Kong, please come in!" Su Bai let Kong Dai in and asked him to sit down.

Su Bai saw that Xu Tianyi was standing outside the door, ready to rush in at any time.

Su Bai got straight to the point: "Uncle Kong, tell me about Yan Xi's situation today."

"I may be a little anxious." Kong Dai said something that made Su Bai confused.

The explanation came quickly. He would not tolerate anyone in the mansion being disrespectful to the young mistress, let alone slandering her.

He was so angry that he pulled out his gun and fired.

He also said that he had a bad temper when he was young and was easily impatient. The master had talked to him about this more than once, but he never changed this bad habit.

It's complete nonsense, all bullshit.

"Actually..." Kong Dai paused and said, "I should ask Yan Xi who asked him to slander the eldest young lady like this. There must be someone behind the scenes!"

As he spoke, he first stretched out three fingers, then four.

It means the third and fourth concubines.

He suspected that Yan Xi was instructed by them.

This lie does make some sense, but Su Bai doesn't believe it.

She didn't believe Kong Dai thought so.

However, since he didn't tell the truth and I couldn't produce any evidence, I could only pretend to believe it, which made him feel stupid and easily deceived.

But Kong Dai also said that although he was a bit impulsive, he did not regret killing Yan Xi at all, nor did he think he was wrong.

Those concubines were disrespectful to the Eldest Young Madam because they were her elders. As a servant, it was not easy for him to stand up for the Eldest Young Madam directly, but if any servant in the mansion dared to treat her like this, he would kill him.

Kong Dai is indeed cruel. I have heard about it before, but I saw it with my own eyes today.

"Okay, Uncle Kong, go eat, and rest early after dinner." Su Bai felt that there was no need to go into details. Chatting with Kong Dai was the same as not chatting at all. He still couldn't get the answer he wanted.

No matter how many ghosts there are in the Confucius Mansion, Su Bai has decided to move forward one day at a time as planned, and deal with it later when she can't make it. Tomorrow, she will take Zi Yan to collect fungus strains.

She asked Zi Yan and Yuan Yuze to go to the kitchen after dinner to bring back all the leftovers and put them in Room No. 1 in the basement.

Su Bai had already numbered each room in the renovated basement.

The temperature in the basement was low, so Zi Yan lit a fire in Room No. 1 so that the leftovers could mold faster and be used to make penicillin.

"what are you doing?"

"I'll tell you later, go!"

After Zi Yan and Yuan Yuze brought back the leftovers that Su Bai asked them to, Su Bai taught Zi Yan step by step how to use instruments and equipment to make distilled water and sterile water.

The two of them were busy until about ten o'clock before they came out of the basement.

"Go to bed early, we'll go out early tomorrow morning."

"Gao Hu's guards will officially take over the defense tomorrow!"

"He is here to protect and monitor me, not to lock me up in the house. Let him bring two people to help us tomorrow!"

……

The next morning, Su Bai set out with Zi Yan, Xu Tianyi and Yuan Yuze. Except for Qian Rufei who was hiding in the side room, all of them went out.

Gao Hu's guards have officially taken up their posts. This is the first time that the eldest young lady has left the house after he took up the post, so of course he has to personally go out and perform his duty of protecting her.

Su Bai asked him to bring two more people with him.

"Where are we going?" asked a soldier.

"We go wherever the eldest young lady goes, and do whatever we are told to do. Don't ask!" Gao Hu scolded.

Su Bai smiled in his heart, this was not bad, not only did he have a bodyguard, but he also had someone working for free.

Two horse-drawn carriages were harnessed, carrying a large amount of sterile water prepared yesterday, and they went out of the south gate of Longxing City.

The South Gate is relatively far from the South Mountain of Siling Mountain, unlike the North Gate and the East Gate, where there are mountains not far from the gate.

The arable land in Longxing County is all between Nanmen and Nanshan.

The Streptomyces that produce streptomycin are widely distributed in the soil. Extracting it is not difficult, but it is troublesome.

If it wasn't for the purpose of treating Zi Yan's parents' tuberculosis, Su Bai would not have chosen to make streptomycin.

Gao Hu personally led his soldiers to dig soil, carry water and pour water according to Su Bai's instructions...

The group worked until noon.

"Everyone, bear with the hunger. I will ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes to thank you. Let's get on with it!"

"Madam, why do you soak the soil in the water, and then pour the water back into the bucket after it becomes clear?" a soldier couldn't help but ask again.

Gao Hu scolded me again and told me not to ask any questions.

Su Bai smiled. Just doing the work and not being allowed to ask questions, wouldn't that make the child sick?

However, it's no use telling them because they simply can't understand.

Perhaps, they thought they were bored, so they first put the soil into the bucket, stirred it evenly and let it stand to clarify the water, then collected the clarified water into another large bucket, poured the water into several buckets respectively, and then added water to dilute it. Isn't it crazy to go through so much trouble?

"Hurry up and work. The eldest young lady will reward you. When you're done, go back and have a good meal!" Gao Hu also encouraged everyone: "I'll go buy some wine for dinner. Let's have a drink!"

Zi Yan directly said to him: "Captain Gao, the eldest young lady can afford to treat you to a meal, but can't she afford to treat you to a drink?"

The group of people worked until it was almost dark before they returned to the Kong Mansion. As soon as they entered the courtyard of the Kong Mansion, Kong Dai and Guo Deyi came to greet them: "Where did the eldest young lady go? We have been looking for you for most of the day and couldn't find you!"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Erga is dead!" said Guo Deyi.

"Who is Erga?" Su Bai didn't recognize this person.

He was a servant in the Kong Mansion. He was found dead in the backyard where Su Bai lived after lunch today.

Guo Deyi said that he happened to be going to the east backyard to deliver some things to the eldest and second daughters when he heard a scream from Su Bai's yard. He ran over and saw that Erga was already lying in the yard. A man in navy blue clothes nimbly climbed over the back wall of the Confucius Mansion and escaped.

Erga's neck was broken and he died.

According to Guo Deyi's analysis, it was that man who climbed over the wall to steal things, and when he was caught by Erga, he killed Erga.

Judging from the thief's technique, he is an expert and his move is fatal.

Su Bai really wanted to laugh out loud after hearing this. The fact was very clear: this Erga was Yan Xi's accomplice, and the thief that Guo Deyi mentioned was Qian Rufei hiding in the side room!

I have always secretly cursed the many surprises in the Confucius Mansion, but this time, it was an unexpected surprise.

I didn’t expect that I could deal with Yan Xi’s accomplices so easily. Is my good luck coming?
