"What deal?" Qian Desheng stared at Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "From what I know, Bai Yi should have visited you quite often."
"Although I don't know what your relationship is, but since she was able to easily hand over the royal weapons to her, I think she must be of a very important status."
"I am not a heartless person. Xiaobai has been with me for more than a year. Even if he were a piece of stone, he would have been warmed up by now."
"So, I don't want to kill her, but I can't let her go easily."
"Trade with me, it's simple, you pay for your life!"
"Whether you two can survive depends on how much you bid."
Qian Desheng looked surprised, then said disdainfully: "We have heard a little about Lord Fang's deeds."
"We originally thought that you were an honest official who was dedicated to serving the country and the people, but we didn't expect that you were so despicable in private."
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "If I were an honest official...how would you live?"
Then he put his hands behind his back and sighed, "Of course I am working for the country and the people, so I deserve to be paid!"
"How can I support a large family with a salary of 45 taels per year?"
"Are only those corrupt officials who exploit the people worthy of enjoying life? Should officials like me live a hard life?"
"Haha, I'm afraid even God can't stand this."
"But God is blind, I can only rob it myself!"
Qian Desheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Okay! I promise!"
"But I need to see Bai Yi before we can continue our discussion, otherwise you might as well just kill me!"
"Bai Yi... She is a princess, right? Otherwise, apart from the royal bloodline, who else is worthy of your attention?"
Qian Desheng kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
Fang Zhengyi didn't care, it seemed like his guess was pretty close.
But he still admired this old eunuch very much.
Even when his country was destroyed and his family was ruined, he still risked his life to protect Bai Yi.
Loyalty is a virtue.
Fang Zheng stood up and said, "Okay! I promise to let you meet her. You'd better think about how much money you can offer. I won't accept ordinary small amounts of money!"
"Zhou Tie, let's go!"
After saying that, he pushed the door and left with Zhou Tie.
When they got outside, Fang Zhengyi said to Zhou Tie, "Go back to the stadium to train with Zhang Biao first, and arrange a few people to guard Qian Shengbu's shop."
"I think there are at least five people living in there. If we catch any of them, bring them all back!"
Zhou Tie agreed and turned to leave.
Fang Zhengyi went straight back to the study.
He sat down at the table, took out the dagger he carried with him, and played with it repeatedly in his hand.
Thinking back to Bai Yi, she had performed quite well during her one year in the mansion.
I get along well with everyone, but I didn’t expect that my identity is so special.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no major disaster occurred.
Qian Desheng's kidnapping this time should have alerted the enemy.
If there were other accomplices, they would most likely not assassinate the emperor again.
No big problem!
When we come back at night, we will interrogate the toad together. Can’t we catch the toad and make him pee this time?
After thinking it over and feeling that there was no problem, Fang Zheng stood up and left the study.
He turned around and walked to Bai Yi's door.
Xiaotao had been in there before, and might have left in a hurry without locking the door.
Fang Zhengyi casually opened the door and stepped in.
Xiaotao came in a hurry, so maybe some key things were missed. It would be better to look again carefully.
As soon as he entered the house, a faint fragrance rushed into Fang Zheng's nose.
Fang Zheng looked at the table and saw, besides the writing brush, paper and inkstone, there was also an incense burner.
The incense burned inside is obviously of high quality. It can retain such a long-lasting fragrance even after it has burned out. It must be expensive.
With an income of three taels of silver a month... he can still burn such luxurious incense.
It can be seen that Bai Yi is quite particular about her pursuit of life. Even when she was a maid, she still wanted to improve her quality of life.
Fang Zheng curled his lips in disdain.
The lady's body is the maid's life!
Then he began to grope around again.
Nothing was found on or under the bed.
I walked to the closet and opened it. A faint fragrance wafted out. There were about twenty pieces of colorful clothes inside.
There are also underwear such as bellybands placed on the side.
White, pink, green...there are quite a lot of styles!
Fang Zheng took a deep breath... No, this is too vulgar and does not suit his status!
He closed the cabinet and continued searching.
Until I turned over the desk and saw a dressing box on it, I opened it and took a look.
There were some pieces of jewellery in it.
Fang Zheng took out the ring from the box and looked at it carefully.
This... should be the ring he gave to Bai Yi before.
I didn't expect she still kept it.
This stuff is like junk in the mansion, but there are a lot of it stored in the warehouse!
I went around in a circle again, but there was nothing to gain!
Fang Zhengyi stood there and thought about it carefully.
The important evidence might be hidden in the bellyband! Search again!
The excuse was found, and the evil hand was about to reach for the cabinet when Xiaotao's voice came from outside the door.
Fang Zheng quickly retracted his hand, looked calm, and walked out of the room.
Xiao Tao came up to him in a panic: "Master, what are you doing here?"
"Check the evidence! What's wrong?"
"Xiaobai...Xiaobai ran away! The two guards who followed her were knocked unconscious." Xiaotao looked worried.
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment: "Don't worry, come with me and I'll tell you slowly."
After saying that, he took Xiaotao to the hall.
He poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Xiao Tao drank some tea before she calmed down. "Those two guards must have been knocked unconscious on their way home. The soldiers from the military department found them and are investigating. As for who took Xiao Bai away, they said they didn't see clearly."
"However, I have already arranged for people to guard the city gates and informed the military officers. They should not be able to leave the capital!"
Fang Zhengyi nodded in satisfaction. Xiao Tao's reaction was still very quick.
Now he is not too worried about Xiaobai's escape.
Now that she knows she has been exposed, it is absolutely impossible for her to assassinate him again.
When the emperor traveled, he was fully armed. According to his arrangement, there were at least more than a hundred guards guarding the emperor on the court.
No matter how inexperienced Xiao Bai is, he would never do such a stupid thing.
"That's good. As long as she doesn't leave the capital, it's no big deal. Let's catch her in a trap!" Fang Zhengyi sneered, "But let's put Xiaobai's matter aside for now. Let's talk about how to punish you first!"
He glanced at Xiao Tao and said, "Xiao Bai has such a big problem, but you didn't even notice it after being with you for a year. What should we do?"
"Who would have thought of this! Master, I am innocent!" Xiao Tao pretended to wipe away tears. "Five days! Give me five days! I will bring her back, okay?"
"No, you don't have any pocket money this year."
"Okay...I don't want it."
"You can't take Curry's ring!"
Fang Zhengyi looked at her confused expression and said sternly: "Three days! I'll give you three days! You must find her before the emperor leaves the palace, otherwise you will suffer the consequences!"
