Royal Gold Magistrate

In the early morning of the same day, Bai Yi got up early, washed up, put on her veil and went straight out of the Fang mansion's gate.

Following the location in memory, I came to a cloth shop in the east of the city with ease.

Bai Yi stood at the door of the cloth shop and looked at the huge plaque above his head, with the four characters [Qian Sheng cloth shop] written on it.

Walked straight in.

As soon as I got to the counter, I asked the boy: "Is there any fine white cloth? It's one foot wide and nine feet long."

The young man was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and saw a veiled woman, his expression changed: "Yes! But the price is not cheap, there are three strings and three hundred cash in total, I wonder if you can accept it?"

"Hmm...it's a bit expensive, can I add 75 Wen for the three passes?"

The boy's expression was startled, and then he returned to normal. He smiled and said, "I'm going to ask our shopkeeper about this. The cloth is also in the back warehouse. Why don't you go and have a look?"

"it is good."

The two came to Buxing's backyard, and the servant led Bai Yi into a wing room, then closed the door and went out.

Not long after, an old man with luxurious clothes and a beardless face came in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bai Yi standing with his hands behind his back.

He asked aloud, "Excuse me, is the girl...?"

Bai Yi took off her veil and turned her head slowly, smiling, "Eunuch Qian, long time no see."

Qian Desheng was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Old slave! I have seen the third princess!"

"A few days ago, I heard that you were missing. The old servant was in a panic and didn't know what to do. He had been sending people in the Jianjiang Mansion to look for you, but they couldn't find you. I didn't expect you to come to the capital!"

Bai Yi sighed after hearing the words: "Thank you for your hard work, get up, I'm lucky, I was rescued on the way, so I made it all the way to the capital."

"How is the old department in Jianjiang now?"

Qian Desheng got up and said dejectedly: "The situation is not very good. I heard that our secret stronghold in Jianjiang was inexplicably washed away by the flood due to the vision that fell from the sky, which caused many new recruits to feel that their destiny is in the big scene. So... they all left the religion."

"Many old people in the church also died in the flood, and the officers and soldiers of Dajing have also stepped up inspections. The situation is really difficult now."

"So now the old slave has very little news contact with Jianjiang..."

Bai Yi gave a wry smile, and couldn't help but see Fang Zhengyi's cheeky smile in his heart.

"His Royal Highness, do you have any instructions for this old servant?"

Bai Yi took out the invitation letter and handed it over: "In three days' time, there will be a poetry debate at Quzuo Lake. There will be a gathering of dignitaries, and Zhang Chang, the son of Hubu Shangshu, will also be there. Do you have any reliable candidates? Send someone to the ship."

"Being friends with these people, especially Zhang Chang, may be of great use in the future."

Qian Desheng pondered for a while and said: "Yes! The second son of Prince Ning's Mansion, Shui Ange, has been in the capital all along. Now he has been walking around the city under the alias of Ning Hongyuan, and has made friends with many literati."

"However...he may not have been here for a long time, so I don't know his specific situation."

Qian Desheng showed a worried look: "Your Highness, you are now the only blood of the royal family. During your disappearance, people in the sect were in panic, and the old slave was afraid... for fear...but now that you are back, everything will be fine. All right, I'll send someone to spread the news right away!"

"No need! As long as you know my news, those who are not loyal and unrighteous are not needed in the revival! Just a flood can make us take advantage of the situation. The people are ignorant and the people's hearts are available. Let's look for opportunities later."

"How have you been these past few years?"

Qian Desheng couldn't help but sigh: "This old slave has been doing well these years... If the princess hadn't come here, this old slave would have ended his life like this."

"However, now that the restoration is expected, the princess can rest assured that this old slave will protect the princess even if he dies! The old slave will never forget the legacy of the late emperor!"

Bai Yi couldn't help but feel a little moved: "I thank you on behalf of my father, if my father knows that you are all right, I will be happy."

Qian Desheng burst into tears when he heard the words: "This old slave is very honored! But... where does Her Royal Highness live now? If it's inconvenient, why not go to this old slave first, because I still have some money."

Bai Yi shook his head and said, "No need, I don't know if you've heard of Fang Zhengyi, I'm in the Fang Mansion right now, and he's the one who saved me."

Qian Desheng hesitated for a while: "I wonder if there is a woman named Xiaotao in this Fangfu?"

"Huh? Yes! Have you seen her?" Bai Yi asked curiously.

Qian Desheng's old face suddenly wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and he said in pain: "This little girl is so disgusting! I came to the cloth store to buy cloth two days ago, and the cloth was chopped down to one or two taels of silver!"

"At that time, she settled the accounts for the old slave, and the calculations were complicated, and I was dazed at the time! Finally, after he left, the old slave did the calculations and even lost money! Bah! Bad luck!"

Bai Yi: "......"

"Don't worry about her, Fang Zhengyi is very important, Emperor Jing thinks highly of him, I want to see if there is a suitable opportunity by his side first..."

Before Bai Yi finished speaking, Qian Desheng panicked and said, "Princess, no! How could you personally assassinate Emperor Jing, it's too dangerous!"

"No! How could I go in person? If I fail in one blow, it will be difficult to strike next time after raising Emperor Jing's vigilance."

"If there is a suitable opportunity, I will notify you!"

"By the way, there is one more thing! There is a small county called Taoyuan County not far from the north of the capital. Send a few capable men into the city to investigate! Be careful to let these people be cautious and lurk in Taoyuan County first, so there is no need to report immediately."

"Old slave, I understand..."

Imperial study room

Liu Jin knelt on the ground and vividly described to Emperor Jing what happened in Zhan Shi's mansion during the day.

Emperor Jing was surprised: "You mean, Fangzheng left Yan Guoan in one go this morning?"

Liu Jin said honestly: "That's right. At that time, Sir Fang answered each of Mr. Yan's questions with reason and evidence. Mr. Yan became so angry that he accused Mr. Fang of being a pickle."

"Later, if I couldn't argue anymore, I left in a huff! Said that I would never see Mr. Fang again in the future, and the two would teach separately! He would not be there if Mr. Fang was present!"

Emperor Jing continued to ask: "What happened next? What did Fang Zhengyi say after Yan Guoan left?"

Liu Jin hesitated and said: "Yes...it is almost time for lunch after Lord Yan left, so Lord Fang chatted with the prince for a while."

"I told a story about a barbarian sword fairy...it seems to be called Iron Egg Potter...the servant didn't understand. During the period, the crown prince always looked at the servant, and the servant didn't dare to get too close."

"Later, the crown prince and Mr. Fang went to eat. Mr. Fang and the crown prince kept saying that the food in Zhan Shi's mansion was unpalatable, and that they wanted to eat roasted whole beef... that's probably all..."

Emperor Jing waved his hand with a smile: "Okay, go down and report tomorrow!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Liu Jin went out, Emperor Jing turned to look at Guo Tianyang: "Why, what do you think of Fang Zhengyi's performance?"

Guo Tianyang bent down and said, "I don't know this old slave, but Mr. Fang is good at winning people's hearts. An old man like Yan Zhanshi is actually being played around."

Emperor Jing reassured: "That's right...Yan Guoan is very good, but he is rigid and doesn't know how to adapt. Fang Zhengyi, a newcomer, actually plays him in the palm of his hand, which is beyond my imagination."

"I hope the prince can learn more from these two people. It's just right that the two complement each other."

If you want to learn this, our family will do it too!Still need to find him! ?

Guo Tianyang said with a sneer: "Although Mr. Fang's hand is to win people's hearts, this old servant really feels warm in his heart. This is the first time someone has spoken out for the eunuchs in the palace for so many years."

Emperor Jing looked at Guo Tianyang in astonishment, and said with a smile: "Okay...it seems that Fang Zhengyi is really not simple, and it has even affected my side!"

"The old slave is ashamed..."
