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

Kong Chen was still at home, and Zhou Beiwang suggested that Su Bai leave Yuan Yuze in the second company so that he could be taken care of by a medical staff.

"If it's convenient, let Yuze stay here for a few more days." Su Bai felt that even if Kong Chen left the Kong Mansion and returned to Tianlong County, Yuan Yuze should heal his wounds before going back, or at least remove the stitches on the wound.

In addition to the fact that there are health workers here who can take good care of Yuan Yuze, the more important thing is that they are worried that the concubines in the mansion will take advantage of this incident to cause trouble, saying things like there were already insufficient staff in the Kong Mansion after being exiled, and they have to serve a servant. In short, all kinds of unreasonable words can come out of their mouths.

Su Bai was not afraid of them causing trouble, as he had almost gotten used to it.

But these two days are the critical time for Su Bai to produce the first batch of finished products of penicillin and streptomycin. The filling and packaging machines bought from the pharmaceutical factory in Qingdao have not been fully understood yet, and she doesn't want to be disturbed by anything.

"How is Cheng Zifeng? Is there any news?" Su Bai asked Zhou Beiwang.

Cheng Zifeng was safe and sound. Kong Chen tied him and Huang Wenchang up just to scare them. No matter how lawless Kong Chen was, he would not dare to kill an official appointed by the provincial government for no reason.

He just wanted to tell them that the land of the Three Dragons still belonged to him, Kong Chen.

Zhou Beiwang also told Su Bai that Kong Chen was used to being rampant in Longxing and thought that this was no big deal at all, but in the eyes of the national and provincial governments, this was by no means a trivial matter and would definitely be investigated.

If Kong Chen was deprived of his military power this time, it would ultimately be Su Bai's credit.

It was because she wanted to take back the Kong family's land rights and affect Kong Chen's interests that made him come back and do such a stupid thing. Cheng Zifeng and Huang Wenchang were just taken advantage of by Kong Chen.

Su Bai wanted Zi Yan to stay and take care of her brother, but Zi Yan refused. She knew that Su Bai would be distributing medicine in the next two days and couldn't leave her.

Her brother was being taken care of by a nurse, so she stayed just to keep him company and say a few words, and she couldn't help much.

On the way back, Su Bai and Zi Yan sat in the carport, and Su Bai asked her to do one thing, which was to go to Zuihuayuan to find Tietou and ask him to send a message to Liu Yiyan, telling him that as soon as Kong Chen left Longxing, the hateful Kong Zhengliang would not be allowed to live in the world for a day, and to get back the agreement with Su Bai's seal.

This made Su Bai think of the seal that Mr. Kong left for him.

I must study this seal carefully when I go back today to see if there is anything strange.

Su Bai arrived at the county government first. After all, it was because of his involvement that Cheng Zifeng and Huang Wenchang were humiliated by Kong Chen, so it was only right for him to greet them.

When Cheng Zifeng saw Su Bai, he smiled bitterly and kept shaking his head, saying that it was not surprising that generals like Kong Chen, who came from a warlord family, could do such a thing.

Cheng Zifeng and Huang Wenchang were tied up and forced to kneel in the county magistrate's office for more than an hour. Kong Chen did not even show up. Later, he sent an officer to help untie them.

Su Bai roughly calculated the time based on what Cheng Zifeng said. During the more than one hour that they were tied up, Kong Chen was acting like a beast in the Kong Mansion.

Cheng Zifeng told Su Bai that they had sent a telegram to the provincial government about the matter. Huang Wenchang was so angry that he went back to Jinan to meet the provincial governor in person.

"They took my car away too." Cheng Zifeng smiled helplessly. It was obvious that he did not have much confidence in how the provincial government would handle the matter.

"Don't worry, County Magistrate Cheng. Kong Chen tied up you and the special commissioner this time, but he hit the provincial government and the national government in the face. I think the national government will definitely treat this as a typical incident to deter other disobedient warlords."

"Let me borrow the young lady's good wishes." Cheng Zifeng sent Su Bai out of the county government.

"County Magistrate Cheng, the county government should have a grain collection mission every year, right?"

Of course there will be, but the provincial government has just taken over the governance of Longxing County and has made stability its top priority, and the issue of paying grain to the higher authorities has not yet been decided.

Cheng Zifeng also told Su Bai that even if there were missions, there would be very few in Longxing County.

Longxing County is surrounded by the Siling Mountains, and the area of ​​arable land is originally small. Tianlong County and Linhua County have hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land, while Longxing County has less than one-tenth of them.

Moreover, most of the land depends on the weather, and only the more than 800 acres of the Kong family's land are excellent irrigated land.

After returning to the backyard of the Confucius Mansion, she immediately took out the seal, only to find that the seal was not one piece, but consisted of two parts, the upper and lower parts. However, the craftsmanship was very sophisticated, and the gap between the two parts was very fine, to the point of fitting perfectly. Su Bai did not notice it when she first got the seal.

Su Bai began to use his imagination. Perhaps there was a small note or something hidden inside, which indicated the hiding place of the gold bars?

She tried to pull the two halves of the seal apart, but it was useless, and sweat broke out on her forehead.

Just when she was wondering whether to smash the seal open violently, Zi Yan came back.

She had already told Tietou the news, and Tietou promised to bring the news to the mountain immediately.

"Madam, what are you doing?" Zi Yan noticed that Su Bai's forehead was covered with sweat.

Su Bai handed the seal to Zi Yan: "Come and see, is there anything strange?"

Zi Yan took it and looked at it: "Why is the seal made into two parts?"

Zi Yan actually saw it at a glance?

Su Bai took a closer look and found that due to the twisting and pulling he had just done, the gap between the two halves of the seal had obviously become a little wider than before, which could be seen without a close look.

According to the information currently available, Kong Dai is the only one in the Kong family who has seen the seal of the master, because after the master passed away, he asked Su Bai whether the master had given her such a thing.

He didn't say it was a seal at the time, he just gestured to Su Bai to show its size.

Su Bai thought about it, gritted his teeth, and asked Zi Yan to call Kong Dai over.

"This, this, this..." Kong Dai couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Uncle Kong, I don't treat you as an outsider. The master didn't say anything when he left this to me. Do you know what special meaning this seal has?"

Kong Dai shook his head. The master was very fond of this seal when he was alive. Kong Dai saw with his own eyes that the master was holding the seal in a daze and muttering to himself.

But every time he saw Kong Dai coming in, the master would put the seal away as quickly as possible and instruct him not to tell anyone about the seal, including the second and third masters.

He wants to leave this seal to the eldest young master.

He also said that this seal is the future of the Kong family.

That is why after the master passed away, Kong Dai quietly asked Su Bai whether there was this seal among his belongings.

Su Bai got goose bumps all over his body after hearing this. What does the future of the Kong family mean?

It must be that batch of gold bars.

How many gold bars are there in this batch that is worthy of the master killing an entire platoon of people to silence them? The mystery is becoming more and more mysterious.

Su Bai told Kong Dai that the second master once told her that there were 500 gold bars in this batch.

"Impossible." Kong Dai denied it without even thinking about it. If he said there were 5000 gold bars in this batch, maybe he would believe it. 500 gold bars were not worth Kong Chen's big fuss. First he dug up the ancestral graves, and then he sent a platoon of soldiers to guard Su Bai.

This coincided with Su Bai's guess at the time. 500 gold bars were only enough to cover the expenses of the Kong family army for two or three months.

Kong Dai was sure that Kong Chen and Kong Li did not know about the existence of this seal. As long as he did not tell anyone about it, even if he brought the seal to them, it would not arouse suspicion.

After Kong Dai left, Su Bai decided to remove the seal, and she asked Zi Yan to find a screwdriver.

"How about I try again?" Although Zi Yan and Su Bai used the same method before, pulling and twisting hard, Zi Yan's strength was obviously much greater than Su Bai, who had never done much physical work since childhood.

He used so much force that his face turned red and his neck became thick, but he still managed to unscrew the seal!

There is a key inside.
