I Conquer the World For My Duke - C18
When the man, who had always had his head lowered, heard the words Bai Mansion and Third Miss, he lifted it up. It was actually Feng Linyuan.
The most important person behind the Treasure-collecting Tower of the Yongding City Auction House was none other than Marquis Dingyuan, Feng Linyuan.
Feng Linyuan felt that ever since he had Mo Lee track the location of the case of corruption, he had been able to hear Bai Zheng’s name almost everyday in the recent days. And now, hearing it from the Treasure-collecting Tower Enforcer’s mouth, he actually had a kind of inexplicable sense of familiarity. Had she come to find Treasure-collecting Tower for the bet she had just made with the Prime Minister Chu?
Feng Linyuan’s gaze stopped at the steward’s hands. He took the paper and looked at the words on it. The words were extremely imposing, and did not seem to have been written by a lady. He took a careful look at this piece of white satin. It could write, and it was also very light …
He immediately understood and asked the manager, “What’s the name of this thing? But it’s not that difficult to make it? ”
To be able to ask about this, one could see that his master was indeed intelligent. He didn’t need anyone to remind him of the value of this thing.
The manager said in admiration, “This thing is called paper. Although we do not know about the production cost, according to what Third Miss of Bai Family said, it is not even worth a single cent. ”
“It really is a treasure.” Feng Linyuan rubbed the paper in his hand and smiled gently.
The manager rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Feng Linyuan’s personality had always been gentle but cold, this was the first time he had seen Feng Linyuan smile.
Even though it was just half a face, the smile was dazzling and mesmerizing. It was as if it was spring. This Third Miss of Bai Family is really capable!
“Go back to your work.”
“Yes.” The man in charge had to get the order, so he left the room to busy himself with the auction. This time, all of the rich and powerful merchants of Yongding City must attend.
“Master.” Waiting until the manager had left the room, only then did the black clothed man, who had been silently retreating behind him, come forward. He had originally wanted to report on the matter, but before he could say a few words, the Treasure-collecting Tower manager had already knocked on the door, so he could only retreat to the side and wait for the manager to finish.
The white wolf that was lying on the ground didn’t even raise its eyes as it lazily swept its tail. Feng Linyuan caressed its head as he glanced at the corner of his eye before the black clothed man continued to reply.
“Mo Lee found out that the Third Prince had hidden a group of troops at Zhong Yun Mountain in the west of the city. The two hundred thousand silver was stolen by him, he thought to himself, it is for the army.”
With regards to this result, Feng Linyuan was not surprised at all.
Although Third Prince Feng Jingxuan’s background could not be compared to that of the crown prince, mufei was still ranked amongst the fourth concubine. Ever since he was young, he had been extremely intelligent. He was even faster at learning how to ride a horse than the crown prince, Feng Jingye, who was two years older than him.
His first wife, who was the daughter of the Minister of Industry, had been married for less than a year. The Minister of Industry had died of illness, and his first wife had died of childbirth after the Old Minister had passed away. To this day, there is still an empty position of being the main wife within the Mansion of Third Prince.
Obviously, Feng Jingxuan, who was in the most crucial moment of being able to ascend the throne, understood what kind of wife he needed. Even if he had seduced Bai Yizhang’s niece, the Minister of Rites, Su Zheng’s daughter, Su Mu Lin, had only given him the position of secondary wife.
Feng Jingxuan’s strength had already caused Crown Prince Feng Jingye to be extremely fearful, and his ambitions were even more obvious. Now that he borrowed the closeness of Su Mulin to his General Mansion, becoming the mastermind of the corruption case and being framed by Bai Yinan was not surprising at all.
Feng Linyuan’s expression did not change, he was still as gentle as ever. He gently stroked the white wolf’s fur and said in a calm voice, “Since Jingxuan’s path of two hundred thousand silver is not right, you can go and snatch it.”
Treasure-collecting Tower was indeed very appropriate. However, two days later, the news of the fifteenth auction of a special treasure that could bring about great fortune spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yongding City.
The people from the nearby cities also rushed over after hearing the news, causing the entire Yongding City to become extremely lively.
On the evening of the third day, Bai Zheng finally released a long sigh of relief as she looked at the complete set of《 Records of the Great Zhou》 that she had rushed out.
Fortunately, although there were no strong and powerful people in the entire Bai Mansion, there were quite a few that were literate and easy to control.
Even after Bai Yinan left the imperial court everyday, he had only been so focused on carving for her that he had forgotten to eat.
Fortunately, there were few words in the ancient book, so it was hard to make up for the time it took for one book to be carved. Perhaps a careful look at the book would reveal a few mistakes, but in such a huge auction site, who could clearly see them?
“Miss, they’ve sent someone over to retrieve something.” Bai Fu stood outside Bai Zheng’s room and knocked on the door.
Bai Zheng handed over the《 Records of Great Zhou》 to Zhuling, and she followed him to take it out. Bai Nianming rubbed her neck, which was aching due to being hung down for a long time, and said worriedly: “I wonder if Big Sis will be able to earn money tonight.”
Bai Zheng walked behind Bai Yinan and patted his shoulder. Hearing Bai Nianming’s words, when she saw Bai Nianjin’s furrowed brows, she knew that her two little brothers were worried for her.
“You guys are not aware of the Treasure-collecting Tower, but when the manager saw your sister’s paper, his expression was even more pleasantly surprised than Nianming seeing his mother’s steamed buns.”
Bai Yinan and Bai Nianjin laughed out loud because of Bai Zheng’s words. Bai Nianming’s face flushed red and shouted, “Sister! You bullied Nianming! ”
Amidst the laughter, Bai Zheng was still able to see her expression when she walked in the door that seemed like she wanted to say something but hesitated. She looked at Zhuling, gesturing for her to speak.
Zhuling then respectfully said: “Master, Young Master, Prince is at the door, she said she wants to see Young Miss.”
Bai Yinan suddenly stood up.
At this moment, the thing he was most afraid of hearing was Feng Jingye’s name!
The three day time limit is up, is Feng Jingye here to settle the score with his precious daughter?
