Chapter 130 Personal Maid
Chapter 130 Personal Maid
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhaozhao said, "The local official of that village must have known about this matter and even helped to cover it up. So if we know who that official is, we will know the person behind the scenes, right?"
Prince An laughed sarcastically: "The county magistrate was a Jinshi three years ago. He met my father by chance, and it was my father who fought for him to get this position."
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
A villain is a villain, and he is surrounded by backstabbers!
"So it's hard to find out who bribed him."
Suddenly Bai Zhaozhao remembered the matter of Magistrate Hu. Could it be that the person who wanted to assassinate Magistrate Hu was the one who bribed the county magistrate? After all, the downstream of the river is Yuzhou!
Theoretically, it would be safer to bribe Magistrate Hu as well, but in reality, the bribery failed, so he deliberately murdered him.
Isn’t this right?
So Bai Zhaozhao quickly told Shizi An what had happened in Yuzhou in recent days.
After hearing this, Prince An also fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said, "It seems that the priest is the breakthrough point. Zhao Zhao, is he still alive?"
Bai Zhaozhao smiled proudly: "Of course, with me here, how can he die?"
Prince An smiled and said, "That's right. I feel relieved to have you around."
After all, he was saved by her!
After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they walked out of the private room. As soon as they arrived at the lobby, they saw several burly men and a woman in white walking in, and they accidentally bumped into Liu Yunshan's wound.
Liu Yunshan felt pain and subconsciously drew his sword, but then he reacted and put it back.
Unexpectedly, when the people on the opposite side saw this, they took out their weapons and the situation became stalemate.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he hurried over and said, "Sir, what are you doing? There are patrolmen on our street! Can you please sit down and talk slowly?"
Seeing this, the leading burly man waved his hand, put away his weapon and said to Liu Yunshan: "My brother, my surname is Zhou. I was rude just now. We are escorts from Weiyuan Escort Agency. We are used to being careful along the way. Please forgive me!"
Liu Yunshan replied, "It's okay. Yuzhou is suffering from drought, and there are indeed more bandits around. It's always better to be careful."
Escort Zhou laughed and said, "That's true. By the way, may I ask how to get to the government office?"
Liu Yunshan had just been to Yuzhou, so he naturally didn't know and looked at Bai Zhaozhao.
Bai Zhaozhao, who was about to leave, paused and turned back to ask, "What are you going to do at the government office?"
Escort Zhou said calmly, "Just looking for someone. Miss, can you please tell me?"
Seeing how cautious he was, Bai Zhaozhao stopped asking questions. After all, a bodyguard has to protect his clients' privacy!
So she just told him the direction and prepared to leave, but the woman in white suddenly said to Bai Zhaozhao, "Miss, do you know anyone in the government office? Actually, I'm here to look for Bai Zhuangyuan!"
As soon as she said this, all the scattered guests eating in the lobby looked at her.
Bai Zhaozhao was also slightly surprised: "You are looking for Bai Zhuangyuan? Do you know him?"
The woman was a little shy, and raised her eyes and said, "Yes, I am his... personal maid. Madam Bai sent me to Yuzhou... to take care of him. But I didn't expect to encounter bandits. Fortunately, these escorts rescued me and sent me here!"
The people around sighed because the girl spoke in a rather obscure way, especially when she mentioned the words "personal maid" and "take care of", she was very shy, which made people imagine a lot.
However, Bai Lin's reputation in Yuzhou is already very loud, so even if everyone has many assumptions, they will not say them out loud.
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
Where did this psychopath come from? The Bai family would never send a personal maid here.
So this girl must have bad intentions. In an instant, Bai Zhaozhao thought of several conspiracies and tricks.
But in the end, she still felt that what netizens said before was right. The best counterattack is not necessarily to use the opponent's trick against him, but to prevent the conspiracy from even having a chance to come to fruition.
Bai Zhaozhao pretended to look at the woman in white with interest and asked, "I do know someone in the government office, but as far as I know, Bai Zhuangyuan will be returning to Beijing soon. Why would he need a maid?"
The woman smiled softly: "How do you know whether this is necessary or not?"
Suddenly, suppressed laughter broke out all around.
Escort Zhou was also a little embarrassed and said quickly, "I'm sorry to bother you today. We'll go look for it ourselves in the government office."
Bai Zhaozhao stepped forward and said, "I don't think you look like a maid. Instead, you want to make it clear that Bai Zhuangyuan needs a personal maid. Let everyone know that you came all the way here to take care of him. You want to give Bai Zhuangyuan a reputation as a lecher, right?"
The woman in white didn't expect that this girl was so perceptive. She said so much in a flash. Normally, even if someone felt that something was wrong with her, they would choose to take her back for discussion. Why did this girl just go ahead and confront him directly?
She pretended to be shocked and said, "Miss, what are you talking about? I have served my master for a year, and I have long... Anyway, miss, don't talk nonsense. Brother Zhou, let's go!"
Escort Zhou nodded and was about to leave, but Bai Zhaozhao stopped them and said loudly, "Since you said you were a maid who served Mr. Bai for a year, then who do you say I am?"
The people around found it more and more interesting as they listened, so they all gathered around.
The woman in white suddenly felt something was wrong. Could this girl be related to Bai Zhuangyuan? She said calmly, "Could this girl be Bai Zhuangyuan's admirer? Otherwise, why would she always embarrass a maid like me?"
Bai Zhaozhao sneered: "Boss, come on, tell her who I am?"
The shopkeeper had not expected such a development, but to him, Bai Zhuangyuan was his benefactor, otherwise the restaurant would have been closed indefinitely.
He said loudly and solemnly, "This is Miss Bai, the younger sister of Mr. Bai."
Everyone was shocked. Isn't it ridiculous that the maid who claimed to have served Bai Zhuangyuan for a year didn't recognize her own lady?
The woman in white was stunned. She knew that Bai Lin brought a sister to Yuzhou, but she didn't expect to meet her by such a coincidence!
Even more coincidentally, a patrolman just arrived: "Who is causing trouble?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly explained, and the patrolman took the woman in white and the strong men away without saying a word. Master Zhou wanted to explain a few more words, but the patrolman said that it was an emergency and they should all be taken away.
Just like that, an ambiguous lie came to an end.
Bai Zhaozhao took An Shizi and the other two back to the government office and asked, "Brother, what do you think of that woman in white?"
Prince An smiled and said, "I won't even look at it."
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
Is this why you stayed out of the whole thing? As expected of a man born in the royal family, he can resist beauty.
Just as I walked to the gate of the government office, I happened to meet County Magistrate Zheng.
County Magistrate Zheng no longer had any of his previous anxiety. He came to collect the grain with a happy look on his face. When he saw Bai Zhaozhao, he greeted him with a smile and looked Prince An up and down.
"Miss Bai, this is..."
Prince An raised his hand and said, "I am her elder brother."
Zheng County Magistrate: ...
At this time, a voice came from behind: "You are her brother, then who am I?"
Turning around, I saw Bai Lin walking towards me.
