Seeing that she was so generous, Magistrate Bai didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, so he asked directly: "I heard from my nurse that Madam can help me solve the trouble at hand, I don't know..."
Yu Tianrong smiled faintly at him and said very naturally: "Natural women dare not deceive the prefect, but the prefect should have heard the saying: there are gains and there are losses."
Is she negotiating terms? Magistrate Bai was slightly startled, because she negotiated terms as soon as they met, and even before letting him see her strength, this was the first time he met a woman of this character, "I don't know what Mrs. Yu has.
Explain?"
"The emperor has offered a reward of one thousand taels. I want five hundred taels. I will exchange the other five hundred taels with the prefect in exchange for a promise."
Uh... Magistrate Bai and his servants all looked at the woman in front of them. She spoke so unnaturally, as if she was chatting with others in a normal tone! Especially the servants, they had never seen a woman so bold and talk to adults.
Let’s talk about terms!
Magistrate Bai didn't know what was wrong with him, so he actually asked: "I wonder what promise Madam Yu wants from Bai?" He called himself Bai, but he didn't want to make a promise as an official, but just as a private person.
In this way, he also deliberately avoided a lot of trouble.
Yu Tianrong smiled slightly and said, "Master Bai, don't be nervous. The promise that the daughter of the people wants will never let you, Master Bai, do anything that goes against the conscience of heaven and earth."
Magistrate Bai came back to his senses and looked a little embarrassed, "Then I wonder what kind of trouble Mrs. Yu can solve for Bai?"
"Do I need to say more? Of course it's a matter of the master thief."
Magistrate Bai was overjoyed, but his face remained calm, "I wonder what Mrs. Yu can do, is it to recover the treasure or to catch the thief?"
Yu Tianrong looked at him and chuckled again, "Master Bai is joking. The reward offered by the emperor is clearly written in black and white to recover the treasure. As for whether the thief can be caught or not, that is not included in the reward.
!”
Magistrate Bai's face turned red. In his mind, it would be best to catch the thief. Of course, he is not a greedy person. The most important thing at the moment is to recover the treasure first and solve his son's trouble. So, soon,
He came back to his senses and looked at the woman in front of him. This woman, inexplicably, made him believe it. Maybe it was the faint smile on her face that convinced him, or maybe it was her confident tone that convinced him. Anyway,
He already believed her in his heart at this moment.
Therefore, he asked directly: "I wonder how Mrs. Yu can help Bai?"
Yu Tianrong looked at the servants, and Magistrate Bai waved his hand, "You all go down. No one is allowed in without my order."
"Yes, sir."
There were only three of them left in the room. Yu Tianrong whispered to Bai Zhifu like this. Xi Bingxuan just saw that Bai Zhifu's face was getting better and better. There was not much expression on his face. However, his heart was already turbulent.
After a few moments, he really didn't know that she had such a smart mind. Now a plan has made him appreciate her more. If this continues, he doesn't know if he will like her more and more.
Little woman!
In the end, Magistrate Bai just said three hellos in a row, then respectfully sent Yu Tianrong out, and then hurriedly left home and entered the palace.
…
Seven days later, rumors spread on the street that the master thief appeared again and wanted to steal another treasure from the harem. However, he failed. Although he was not caught, the previously stolen treasure was recovered during the theft.
He also caused the thief to be seriously injured, which made Long Yan very happy. He rewarded the meritorious palace guard, who was the son of Bai Zhifu, and promoted him from the third-grade guard commander to the second-grade guard commander. Naturally, the one thousand taels of bounty also went to the Bai family.
On this day, two distinguished guests came to the painting garden, Magistrate Bai and the famous guard Bai.
When they came to the painting garden, Yu Tianrong had not gotten up yet. In order to thank her in person, Mr. Bai was willing to wait in the living room. How dare the maid keep them waiting, so he quickly woke up Yu Tianrong and reported
matter.
Yu Tianrong rubbed his beautiful eyebrows and said a little unhappy: "They are too diligent! I haven't even woken up yet!"
The maid reluctantly pulled her up, and while helping her dress and freshen up, she reminded: "Madam, that is the prefect, and there is also a second-grade guard commander. No matter what, we should not offend, madam.
Bear with it!"
"Get out of the way!" Xi Bingxuan's cold voice appeared in the room. When the maid saw him, she automatically stepped out and let him take over the rest of the work.
Xi Bingxuan combed her long hair and said, "Madam, are you happy?"
"Oh, it's okay. Why, aren't you happy?"
"No, I just think that the thief is so stupid that he would be fooled!"
