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

Su Bai and his group deliberately walked slowly, allowing the soldier to follow the man with the mustache from a distance into the city first.

"This horse..." Gao Hu turned around and pointed at the chestnut horse lying on the ground: "It will die soon. What should we do with it?"

Before Zhou Beiwang could answer, Kong Dai spoke first: "It's a dead horse, what else can we do? Eat it!"

Leave a soldier to watch the horse and prevent it from being dragged away by other passers-by.

This carefully prepared ambush failed. Zhou Beiwang suspected that the other party must have discovered something and that was why they did not show up.

Perhaps he discovered Zhou Beiwang and his men's ambush, or perhaps he discovered Gao Hu hiding in the woods.

"We arrived two hours in advance, and the other party may have arrived earlier than us."

There is no way but to go home and wait for the next letter from the other party.

However, Kong Dai said that there was no need to pay any attention to it. The other party had already spread the rumor throughout Longxing City. If he didn't give him money, that would be it. He couldn't come up with any new tricks.

Su Bai didn't say a word along the way. Kong Dai was right. The other party had already exposed Su Bai's secrets. What was there to be afraid of?

She vaguely felt that this matter might still be related to the second wife, which was what she was most worried about.

Not long after returning to the Confucius Mansion, Zhou Beiwang received news that the man with the mustache had joined the county government.

Su Bai was very hungry because he didn't have lunch.

I asked the kitchen to prepare some food and brought it to the table, but before I could eat it, a group of police officers arrived outside the Confucius Mansion, led by the Police Chief Lu Shijie.

We are going to take the eldest lady of the Kong family to the police station for questioning.

Upon hearing this, Gao Hu was unable to do anything and immediately blocked the door with a box gun. The guards also came out and surrounded the dozen or so policemen.

"Put down their guns!" Gao Hu waved his hand, and the soldiers pointed their guns at them, and the policemen put down their guns obediently.

Gao Hu stepped forward and snatched Lu Shijie's pistol.

Su Bai hurried to the door and asked what was going on.

"What's the matter?" Lu Shijie was so angry that his face turned pale. He pointed at the gun on the ground and said, "Is this a small matter? You, the Kong family, openly defied the police and obstructed law enforcement, and..."

"What the hell?" Gao Hu stepped forward and pushed him: "Fight? Are you qualified to fight us?"

In terms of strength, the gap between the two sides is obvious. Gao Hu's guards are considered a small and capable team in the ragtag army of the Temporary Seventh Army, and all of them are soldiers who have fought in battles.

The police on the opposite side were the ones who were recruited after the government officially appointed the county magistrate and carried out a major purge of the original police station. Many of them were newly recruited, and some of them might not even know how to use a gun.

"Director Lu, aren't you going to take me to the police station for questioning? Just ask me here if you have anything to say."

"No, you must come back to the police station with me!" Lu Shijie pointed at the guards who were still holding their guns and said, "Can we interrogate them in this posture?"

"If you want to ask, ask here. If you don't want to ask, go back!" Gao Hu would never let him take Su Bai away. Protecting Su Bai was a military order for Gao Hu.

Seeing the situation getting so tense, Su Bai had no choice but to interrupt: "Director Lu, is County Magistrate Cheng here?"

"It's useless even if County Magistrate Cheng is here. He has to listen to the special envoy!" Lu Shijie said, raising his thumb next to his ear.

Special envoy?

Su Bai immediately understood that the man with a mustache was the special envoy that Lu Shijie mentioned.

This is indeed a bit troublesome as Zhou Beiwang said.

Since he is a special envoy, he must have come to Longxing City on behalf of the provincial government or a higher-level organization. In Longxing City, he is definitely a big shot.

"Hey——" Su Bai knew it was the Sixth Concubine who came without turning around.

The Sixth Concubine came up to Su Bai as usual, swaying from side to side and saying, "Lu Shijie, you were still watching over the theater ten years ago. How come now that you're a police chief, you use the screen as a memorial tablet and there's no place for you anymore?"

It turns out that the two had known each other for a long time.

"Now is not the time for you, the Kong family, to do whatever you want!" Although Lu Shijie's gun was taken away by Gao Hu, he still spoke with full strength.

The Sixth Concubine was quick-witted. As soon as Lu Shijie finished speaking, she retorted: "No matter what time it is, the Kong Mansion is not a place for you to act wildly!"

"Alright, alright. There was indeed a misunderstanding between the Special Commissioner and I at Xishankou today. Director Lu, please go back first. I will definitely go to meet with County Magistrate Cheng and the Special Commissioner tomorrow!"

Now is not the time to cause trouble. The matter on hand is still hanging in the air. Su Bai asked Gao Hu to return the gun to Lu Shijie.

Lu Shijie left with his men, cursing.

Su Bai returned to the lobby and the Sixth Aunt followed him in. While eating, Su Bai told her what happened in Xishankou today.

I didn't want to tell her at first, but I was really afraid of her pestering me.

Su Bai had just finished his meal when Cheng Zifeng arrived.

He just came back from the village today and didn't expect such a big thing to happen.

This time, Su Bai didn't need to explain. The Sixth Aunt told Cheng Zifeng what had just happened.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. Special Agent Huang is not a petty person, so we can just talk it out."

Cheng Zifeng would not let Su Bai go to the county government or the police station. He would bring the special commissioner named Huang to the Confucius Mansion to get acquainted.

He whispered to Su Bai that this special envoy Huang came for the Kong family.

To be more precise, I came here for Kong Chen.

Two days ago, he sent two telegrams to the province because Yuan Yuze led the villagers to beat someone to death. He was worried that Kong Chen would not let it go easily.

The provincial government sent Special Envoy Huang down to use the Yuan Yuze incident to make its attitude clear to Kong Chen and to support Cheng Zifeng.

Special Agent Huang did not know before this that the Kong family had completely separated from Kong Chen.

After Cheng Zifeng left, the Sixth Aunt seemed very interested in the special envoy and asked him many questions.

After listening to Su Bai's description, she sighed: "I can imagine that this Yellow Special Envoy must be a suave and handsome man!"

Su Bai raised his head and gave her a cold look.

"You just said he still uses perfume?"

Su Bai nodded.

"He is still a romantic man!" The Sixth Aunt clasped her hands together in front of her chest.

"Please stop being so horny, it's disgusting!"

The Sixth Aunt pinched Su Bai's ears with two fingers: "Who said that about your aunt? It's extremely treasonous!"

Su Bai took her hand away: "If you like this special envoy, I will introduce him to you."

"Really?" The Sixth Aunt jumped in front of Su Bai like a little girl.

Su Bai was frightened again. Could this guy really have such an idea?

"Then I have good news for you." Sixth Aunt leaned over and told Su Bai that the Third Master had sent someone to reply to the Fourth Aunt's letter. He was busy with military affairs recently, so he had to put his trip to Dongying to investigate Su Bai on hold.

Su Bai smiled bitterly. It was good news, equivalent to extending his life for a few more days.

Even though Cheng Zifeng said that it was okay and that he would bring Special Envoy Huang to visit Su Bai in person to clear up the misunderstanding between the two, Su Bai still had a bad feeling.

The arrival of Special Envoy Huang is likely to bring about a storm with unpredictable consequences for Long Xing, the Confucius Mansion and himself.
