Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Outside the room, Xiao Tao was still constantly recounting to Fang Zheng Yi the various processes of capturing Bai Yi.

The two occasionally burst into cheerful laughter.

Bai Yi was bound to the bed all alone, her heart filled with despair.

She had even been buying things on the street that Xiao Tao had asked for.

On the way home, she was taken away by eunuchs from Qian Sheng Cloth Shop, and only then did she realize her identity had been exposed.

Anxious, she was taken by the eunuchs to a residence in the capital.

Under the current circumstances, assassination was completely impossible, and she could only settle down first to avoid the crisis.

After the crisis passed, she would look for opportunities to take action slowly.

But if she left like this... it would be a complete break with the Fang family.

Originally, she had even thought of leaving a letter before the assassination to say goodbye... but she didn't expect to be exposed like this.

Various complex thoughts flooded her mind.

Bai Yi tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Who knew that the next day, a group of Fang Manor's guards would rush in and tie her up!

The assassination was discovered before it even began.

After not sleeping a wink, she was tied up and brought back.

Where exactly did she go wrong? Or... was she really as useless as Fang Zheng Yi said?

Perhaps that was really the case....

Thinking about it, Bai Yi began to sob again.

Having not slept all night, and with excessive worry, coupled with lying on the familiar bed.

Waves of fatigue invaded her spirit.

Bai Yi slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Fang Zheng Yi finished chatting outside the door, pushed it open, and was immediately enraged to see Bai Yi asleep.

He angrily said to Xiao Tao: "Look! Look! This is the maid you've been taking care of for a year!"

"A heartless thing, daring to sleep!"

Xiao Tao looked ashamed. Such a big problem had occurred on her watch.

If it were someone else, they would probably have been beaten a dozen times... Fortunately, the young master didn't seem too angry...

Fang Zheng Yi squatted beside Bai Yi's bed, quietly examining her pretty face.

Seeing her red and swollen eyes, he felt another surge of anger!

"You're still feeling wronged!"

Xiao Tao carried a pot of tea and also came to his side, whispering: "Young Master, should we wake her up?"

"No need, let her sleep first, I'll go see how the other one is doing."

After speaking, Fang Zheng Yi got up and returned to the room where Qian De Sheng was being held.

Qian De Sheng's situation wasn't much better either. He also hadn't slept all night and hadn't eaten or drank anything.

However, he was in a good mood... Fang Zheng Yi had said yesterday when he left that he would let him see the princess.

But until now, he hadn't seen her, which meant that the princess was very likely to have been successfully rescued by his own people.

As for his old bones...

Death was death! It didn't matter!

Seeing Fang Zheng Yi arrive, Qian De Sheng raised his eyes and sneered: "Master Fang, where is Bai Yi? Didn't you say you would bring her to see this old one?"

"We were up too late yesterday, she hasn't gotten out of bed yet, what's the rush?" Fang Zheng Yi glanced at him, looking nonchalant.

How dare he disrespect the princess!

Hearing this, Qian De Sheng shrieked: "Impudent!"

Oh? You're getting worked up? Fang Zheng Yi found it amusing.

Seeing his face full of treachery, Qian De Sheng felt a surge of resentment and glared at Fang Zheng Yi, saying: "You're shameless! This old one has never seen such a shameless person as you!"

"Hey! Today you have!"

Fang Zheng Yi walked up to him with a smile: "You're already tied up, so don't be so arrogant!"

"This official just wanted to see how you were doing, but now I'm very curious, how much silver are you willing to offer to buy your life."

"And what exactly is Bai Yi's identity?"

"Think it over and confess."

Qian De Sheng snorted coldly, disdainfully saying: "No need to trick me anymore, Bai Yi isn't even in your hands, is she!"

"If you want to kill me, then do it!"

He still hadn't seen the princess's figure.

He didn't believe a word Fang Zheng Yi said!

"Your few subordinates did manage to rescue Bai Yi, but they were really inefficient, they didn't even leave the capital."

"In the south of the city, don't you also have a residence? The location is near Kunyu Lake."

"The houses there aren't cheap, but the location is easy to find, it only took a day to catch her back."

"Eunuch Qian, just confess, you no longer have the qualifications to negotiate terms with me."

"Even if you don't confess, sending you few to the emperor can still be exchanged for a lot of silver."

Fang Zheng Yi said slowly.

The listener was attentive, and Qian De Sheng's cold sweat dripped down... What he said was right, he did have a residence in the south of the city.

However, only he and his few adopted sons knew the location of this residence!

The little eunuchs he brought out were all trained in the Eastern Depot, not only were their martial arts skills high, but their mouths were also very tight!

If they had really successfully rescued the princess, how could they have been discovered in just one day?!

No matter which situation it was, it meant that his people had been exposed!

Unknowingly, Qian De Sheng was already sweating profusely.

He opened his hoarse voice and said: "I don't believe it! Unless I see Bai Yi."

"Even if you send me to the palace, how much silver can you exchange for? This old one has so much silver that you won't see in your entire life!"

"Also, even if I give you the money, how can you ensure Bai Yi's safety?"

"If these questions aren't explained clearly, this old one will never budge!"

Fang Zheng Yi smiled slightly: "Good question, this official will definitely not let you go."

"If you leave and are discovered by others, what if you bite me one day, wouldn't this official be ruined?"

"As it stands, there are three paths in front of you to choose from."

Qian De Sheng stared at Fang Zheng Yi: "What paths?"

"First, I send you to the emperor, and the emperor kills you."

"Second, I subject you to severe torture, and then personally kill you!"

"This third one... is very comfortable! Like Zhou Tie, stay and help me do things!"

"What! ?" Qian De Sheng's eyes showed shock.

Was Fang Zheng Yi this daring!

Fang Zheng Yi had considered this matter for a day. Taking in Zhou Tie was already a major crime.

He didn't mind taking on another debt!

Qian De Sheng had been able to lurk in the capital for so long without being discovered, so there was definitely no problem with his identity.

The same was true for Bai Yi, who hadn't caused any problems in the manor for a year.

Moreover, Qian De Sheng was the Director of the Eastern Depot of the Qian Kingdom. Such a professional talent was exactly what he needed.

If Emperor Jing really wanted to create the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he really didn't have the experience.

He definitely couldn't count on Guo Tianyang to help.

That old fox was afraid that he would steal his work, and it would be a miracle if he didn't trip him up.

Wasn't the great eunuch in front of him the most perfect assistant?

"Master Fang! Are you teasing this old one?" Qian De Sheng still couldn't believe what Fang Zheng Yi had just said.

"Teasing you? There's no need for that, my family happens to be missing a housekeeper, and I need an excellent eunuch like you!"

"You hand over all the money, and you can start work tomorrow. The job opportunity is rare, you have to seize it!" Fang Zheng Yi looked serious and earnest, "Bai Yi will continue to be a maid in the manor, and this official will act as if nothing happened!"

Qian De Sheng's mind suddenly couldn't process it.

Why was Fang Zheng Yi speaking so strangely! Wasn't he supposed to be buying his life with money? Now it had turned into buying a job opportunity?

What the hell was he thinking, wasn't he afraid that this old one would trick him?

Could there be some conspiracy!

After thinking it over, it seemed that there was no other choice. Qian De Sheng gritted his teeth: "Okay! But today I must see Bai Yi!"

"No problem, she'll be here soon!"
