"Let Doctor Chen finish what he is saying." Zhou Beiwang came to intercede for Doctor Chen.

It would have been better if he didn't say anything, but when Doctor Chen opened his mouth, Su Bai got even angrier.

He actually said that General Kong had been shot five times and was still lying in Linhua Military Hospital. If the No. 1 medicine was really effective, he wanted to give some to General Kong so that he could get better quickly.

This bastard is not dead after all.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Chen, this medicine was bought by Zi Yan from Qingdao for her brother." Su Bai lied directly.

"But Commander Kong and you are family!"

The family was helpless as the medicine was obtained by someone else to save their relative’s life.

Zi Yan immediately understood what Su Bai meant and joined the team that made up lies.

Doctor Chen was not stupid and did not believe what Su Bai and Zi Yan said, but he had no way to get the truth out of them any further, so he gave up and went into the next room with Zhou Beiwang.

Su Bai stayed and observed Yuan Yuze's condition for a while, and found it was relatively stable.

Ask Zi Yan to bring 10 more pills to Yuan Yuze tomorrow.

It was already one o'clock in the middle of the night when the three of them returned to the Confucius Mansion.

Before reaching the moon gate between the front yard and the second yard, the sharp-eyed Zi Yan spotted a dark shadow entering the East Second Yard on the right.

"Is it Guo Deyi?" Su Bai's first reaction made her think of Guo Deyi.

"It seems...right?"

"Is it Guo Deyi who is still unclear? He is a cripple!"

Zi Yan shook her head. It was too fast, the black shadow flashed by and she really didn’t see it clearly.

Back in the backyard, Su Bai sat on the bed and thought about it for a while before he figured out the problem.

She first made an assumption, assuming that the third concubine's lover was Guo Deyi, then many questions would be solved.

Back then, Kong Dai discovered his brother's affair with the third concubine, so he beat Guo Deyi to a pulp and kicked him out of the Kong residence. This was reasonable considering Kong Dai's brutal character and his loyalty to Master Kong.

Master Kong ordered Kong Dai to secretly investigate whether the second and third sons were the children of others. Kong Dai never found out the truth, just to save his brother's life, which was reasonable.

When Guo Deyi left the Kong Mansion, he didn't know that the third concubine was pregnant with his child and had given birth to a son for him. When he learned the news many years later, he returned to the Kong Mansion without fear of Kong Dai's threats.

The purpose of the third and fifth concubines exchanging courtyards became clear. After the third concubine moved to the East Second Courtyard, she was only separated by a wall from the East Front Courtyard where Guo Deyi lived.

Although the East Second Courtyard and the East Front Courtyard are not connected like the other courtyards, chatting across the wall does not hinder things at all.

Thinking back to the last time when the Third Concubine took the lead in attacking him because of the small advertisement and the letter from the Second Concubine, Su Bai accidentally caught the look that Guo Deyi gave the Third Concubine to stop her...

Also, the concubines knew about the bank's profitability, not because it was the accountant Mr. Kong who told them, but because Guo Deyi learned it from Mr. Kong and then passed it on to the third concubine.

Su Bai didn't believe that his hypothesis could be wrong when so many conditions were met.

Guo Deyi is the third concubine’s lover!

But having said that, after Guo Deyi entered the mansion, he played the role of housekeeper conscientiously and kept the mansion in order.

Can I turn a blind eye to the affair between him and the third concubine?

No.

You can let Guo Deyi go, but you can’t let the third concubine go.

Before falling asleep, Su Bai already had a preliminary idea of ​​the next step in catching the adulterer.

……

Zi Yan got up early in the morning and took 10 bottles of medicine to the second company to give Yuan Yuze an infusion. This time, Su Bai asked her to take a thermometer from the basement and taught her how to use it and how to read the scale from the medical staff.

Su Bai had originally planned to go, but when he arrived at the front yard he was stopped by Kong Dai, who had something important to tell him.

After the two returned to the lobby, Kong Dai told Su Bai that Kong Zhengliang had hanged himself.

"Dead yet?"

"died."

It was really strange. Kong Zhengliang had just legitimately obtained the right to collect rent from me, so why did he hang himself?

Kong Dai told Su Bai that he was probably strangled to death and then hung up to create the illusion of suicide.

The police department has launched an investigation.

"Who do you think did it?" Su Bai asked Kong Dai.

Kong Dai shook his head, he couldn't guess.

Su Bai felt that he was not telling the truth and he did not go to the scene, so how did he know that Kong Zhengliang was strangled to death first?

Playing dumb is the best way to resolve embarrassment. If you don't tell me, I won't ask. Anyway, Kong Zhengliang deserves to die. If he dies, no one will take advantage of the Kong family's land.

It was too late for Kong Chen to send someone else to take his place.

Su Bai already had an idea to remove the source of the problem.

She immediately asked Guo Deyi to harness the car, and Xu Tianyi drove to the county government.

Gao Hu did not come along this time. It seemed that he was really not interested in this mission.

Su Bai's intention in looking for Cheng Zifeng was to hand over the more than 800 acres of fertile land of the Confucius Mansion to the county government for management, give half of the annual wheat production to the county government, and the other half to the Confucius Mansion.

Before this, all these outputs were taken away by Kong Chen.

The harvest of other crops from these fields will be discussed between the Confucius Mansion and the farmers.

Su Bai wants to sign a formal agreement with the county government.

Cheng Zifeng took a long time to say, "Madam, you are going to transfer the conflict between you and Kong Chen to the county government!"

He actually saw through it.

He made up his mind and simply gave all the harvest to the county government. As long as the farmers were treated well, the Confucius Mansion would still only take food rations as before.

Su Bai thought so. He would start fermenting the second batch of penicillin from today. The third batch of penicillin would not be produced until the second batch was produced, but would start five days later. The fourth batch would be fermented five days later...

Twenty days later, I will produce a batch of finished products every five days. Although the output will not be large due to limited conditions, I can ensure that there will always be products.

The next step is to find a way to sell it. Once the sales channels are unblocked, what else do I need these 800 acres of land for? Next year's wheat production will have nothing to do with me.

Even donating these 800 acres of land to the county government is not out of the question.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Zifeng said to Su Bai without thinking: "Madam, you owe me a favor."

As he spoke, he took out his inkstone and brush and drafted an agreement.

When Su Bai saw it, he found that the content of the agreement was to donate the more than 800 acres directly to the county government, and even the title deed would be given to him!

Although I have this idea, I have to wait until my drug production becomes normalized before I can make such a big move.

I didn't expect Cheng Zifeng to be so ruthless.

Seeing Su Bai's surprised expression, Cheng Zifeng took the agreement back, took out the county government's big seal from the drawer of his desk, stamped it, and pushed it in front of Su Bai, then handed the brush to Su Bai.

"Madam, there is only one copy of this agreement. You must keep it safe."

What does it mean that there is only one copy? Su Bai couldn't believe it.

This means that Su Bai can accept this agreement if he wants, and can destroy it if he doesn't.

No, this agreement was meant for Su Bai to use against Kong Chen. It had never existed in the county government at all. Only Cheng Zifeng knew the inside story.

"So, does the young mistress owe me a favor?"

Su Bai took the agreement, stared into Cheng Zifeng's eyes for a few seconds, and then asked:

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

She was almost certain that Cheng Zifeng had bad intentions.
