However, who said that he owed her a favor? Magistrate Bai smiled heartily and said: "Haha, if it's just a scroll, Bai will naturally not shirk it. I wonder how many people Mrs. Yu wants me to send to protect you?"
"Twenty-four, take turns guarding day and night, but they must be incognito and don't let anyone see it. This will also help our protection. Of course, I will pay the corresponding rewards to the hard-working brothers on the last day and will not let them
All your hard work is in vain.”
Master Bai smiled again when he heard this: "Mrs. Yu, what you said is polite, but it is hard work to guard you day and night, and it is not official work, so I will not refuse your reward."
What a rude official. Yu Tianrong cursed slightly in his heart and said with a smile, "Master Bai is sympathetic to his subordinates. I understand. It's natural."
"But I don't know whose hand that scroll was made by?"
Yu Tianrong smiled softly and stretched out her white hands. Master Bai took a look and said, "Mrs. Yu's hands are healed? It's really gratifying!"
"Thanks."
"you mean……"
Yu Tianrong nodded: "So these are all my hard work. Please, Lord Bai, ask your subordinates to take good care of my baby!"
"Definitely, definitely! Even if it is just to congratulate Mrs. Yu on the recovery of her fingers, Bai should do his best."
"Thank you, Lord Bai. Then, early tomorrow morning, I will ask Lord Bai to show his face at the auction house, so that people can know that Lord Bai appreciates my paintings."
"Okay, Bai will go to congratulate Mrs. Xiyu now."
…
After Yu Tianrong and Xi Bingxuan left, the man from behind the screen came out: "Brother Bai, who is that?"
"Yu Tianrong."
"What, she is the legendary Protector of the Country, the youngest daughter of the imperial family?"
Magistrate Bai nodded and sighed slightly: "What a pity that such a talented woman is despised by the general who protects the country and cannot be loved by her family!"
"Talented woman? I haven't heard of this. I just heard that the woman was wild and uninhibited and loved by many men. She angered the general protecting the country more than half a year ago and was divorced!"
Magistrate Bai shook his head: "So people's words are scary! I think she is always a wise woman, comparable to a good man! What a pity, she is a girl!"
"Oh, Brother Bai seems to admire her very much!"
Magistrate Bai glanced at him: "Brother Chen, do you still remember the palace treasure theft case last time?"
"Remember, that was Brother Bai's great contribution. He recovered the treasure for the emperor. Although the thief escaped, he still recovered the national treasure. The emperor rewarded you greatly for this!"
Magistrate Bai smiled slightly: "Yes, it was also my credit for saving that unfilial son's life!"
"Brother Bai, you are confused again. The thief is a top master in the world. The Imperial Forest Army cannot surround him. How can a good nephew catch him? It is a blessing for the Bai family to be able to protect themselves."
"Oh, I understand, that's why I tried so hard to recover the national treasure to keep him!"
"Well, the emperor is also a wise man. Taking back the national treasure in the end not only rewarded Brother Bai, but also promoted him to a good nephew. Brother Bai's hard work is not in vain."
Magistrate Bai smiled bitterly: "Yes, that's really lucky. However, this luck was given by her. If she didn't show up at that time, there would be nothing I could do!"
"She? Brother Bai, you mean the Royal Lady?"
"Yes, when I was at my wits' end, she appeared. Originally, I treated her like a dead horse, but after seeing her, I felt alive. I knew that our Bai family could be saved!"
"Oh, you're saying that she planned the strategy to lure the enemy back again?"
Magistrate Bai nodded and sighed: "Yes, if it weren't for her, I would be helpless."
"But, how come she appears to help you for no reason?"
Magistrate Bai smiled: "Of course it's not for nothing, she came here for a purpose."
"Then she is——"
Magistrate Bai stretched out five fingers: "Five hundred taels of silver."
"Ah? She's so open-mouthed!"
"No, the emperor's bounty is still one thousand taels!"
"That's true. In this way, she is quite capable. Brother Bai was not afraid of trusting the wrong person at the beginning? What's more, she is still a prostitute?"
Thinking of the scene at that time, Magistrate Bai couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid it's of no use. My subordinates searched for a month but found nothing. The time limit given by the emperor was only two months. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I can't give up."
Ah! However, when I saw her for the first time, I inexplicably believed that she was there to help me. After I listened to her strategy, I became even more sure of my feelings."
"The original plan was indeed clever. Although it was not very profound, it was very effective in seducing the thief!"
"Yes, she told me at the beginning that as long as he is a proud thief, he will definitely appear; if he is not proud but very arrogant, he will still appear. As long as he is not a rogue, he will appear. Because, that is the human heart."
Magistrate Bai thought about the original scene and chuckled, that woman is really cunning!
