I Conquer the World For My Duke

"To alleviate the worry in my heart? "Hahaha …" Prime Minister Chu acted as if he had heard something funny: "A mere little girl like you, with just you?"

"If Prime Minister looks down on Bai Zheng, then how about Bai Zheng makes a bet with Prime Minister?"

"What bet?"

"If Zheng can raise two hundred thousand silver taels for Prince within three days, Prime Minister will agree to Bai Zheng's rescission of the engagement, and at the same time, not make things difficult for my father."

Feng Jingye laughed with interest: "What if I can't do it?"

"What does Your Highness think?" Bai Zheng asked.

Feng Jingye looked at Prime Minister Chu, who stroked his beard and pondered for a while: "If you are unable to do so, then kneel down and kowtow nine times from the west gate to the east gate, and shout out 'Bai Zheng has no eyes, and is slandering Chu Feng'."

"You can't!" Bai Yinan shouted.

Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, Bai Zheng's clear "Good" word had already sounded: "Then today, we will slap our palms three times in front of the five s."

Seeing Bai Zheng's confident look, Prime Minister Chu hesitated for a moment, but he shook his head. She was just a silly little girl, able to speak as fast as he wanted. Thinking of this, he raised his right hand.

Before Bai Yinan could block it, Bai Zheng's right palm had already struck forward.

"A single palm to bring glory to the sun and moon." Bai Zheng said without hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zheng's second palm also struck out.

"The second palm strike, the heaven and earth shall be the judge of this gamble." Bai Zheng said as she struck out with her third palm, "Third palm strike. If there is a violation, then your reputation will be ruined!"

Bai Zheng put her hand down, took two steps back, and bowed politely towards the crowd: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your testimony, in three days, Bai Zheng will definitely present two hundred thousand silver."

After saying that, he turned around, pulled Bai Yinan who was still standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do, and walked out of the General Mansion Hall without looking back.

In the carriage, Bai Yinan's refined and gentle face had a lot of worry. He looked at Bai Zheng for a long time and her mouth seemed to want to say something, but in the end, it turned into a long sigh.

Bai Zheng knew Bai Yinan was worried. Originally, in order to repay her three thousand gold, she had already planned a way to earn fast money.

She was not completely sure that she would be able to get two hundred thousand gold this time, but the one thing she was not lacking in Yongding City was the rich and dissolute young master, someone as noble as himself, who could probably fool more than half of them.

When the carriage passed by the bustling city streets, Bai Zheng suddenly shouted "Stop!", and saw Bai Yinan looking at him suspiciously, a cute smile surfaced on Bai Zheng's face. "Daddy, your daughter is going to visit the Treasure-collecting Tower, you haven't rested since you came out of the justice court, go back to the residence now, mother and brothers must be worried too."

Treasure-collecting Tower?

Bai Yinan was startled, so that was the reason.

This Treasure-collecting Tower was the largest auction house in the Yongding City, and every month at the age of fifteen, it would hold an auction for rare treasures.

Although the national treasury of the Great Zhou was empty, the Yongding City was the capital and all the officials and dignitaries of the Great Zhou were gathered there.

The Treasure-collecting Tower Auction on the fifteenth of every month seemed to have become the most bustling event in the Yongding City.

And Treasure-collecting Tower was indeed worthy of being called the largest auction house in the Yongding City. It could always contribute some rare treasures, and each time, it would attract many nobles and nobles to fight for it.

It was said that His Majesty would occasionally show up to join in on the fun and take some fresh treasures back home.

Seeing the worry on Bai Yinan's face, Bai Zheng nodded and said, "Daddy, don't worry. Your daughter won't steal nor steal, she'll just quietly earn money."

But even if he auctioned off the entire Bai Mansion, he wouldn't be able to gather two hundred thousand silver taels!

Bai Yinan was about to start speaking, but seeing that his expression was ugly, he got off the carriage first.

Bai Yinan sighed helplessly. He calculated that after he went back, he would let the accounting office calculate the properties of the mansion first and then ask his brothers to lend it to him.

No matter what, make his precious daughter kneel down and kowtow nine times? Even if he had to risk his life, he would definitely not be willing to do so!

Bai Zheng stood at the Treasure-collecting Tower's entrance for three days more and it would be the fifteenth of the next month.

There was nothing special this month, so there was no extra publicity. Bai Zheng smiled as she walked in.

Normally, Treasure-collecting Tower were just normal treasured shops, but this time there were no customers in the shop.

Upon seeing her enter, a man with an ordinary face and the appearance of a waiter respectfully greeted her: "Miss, do you want to see something?"

Bai Zheng swept a glance around, and then revealed a look of serenity, sighing: "Everyone said that Treasure-collecting Tower were filled with treasures of the Great Zhou, I never thought that they were all just some ordinary things."

Seeing that although Bai Zheng was dressed simply, her clothes were of decent quality, the waiter excused himself and left.

Not long later, a man who looked like a manager walked up to Bai Zheng and smiled kindly: "I'm not good enough. I heard that Miss did not set her eyes on the treasures of my Treasure-collecting Tower, and I wonder if Miss would be able to say anything about it, so I can help you search for it. "

Bai Zheng had a gentle smile on her face, but her gaze was looking towards the second floor.

The Treasure-collecting Tower had a total of three floors, and was only opened on the first floor. Although they could not be compared to those priceless items that could be auctioned off easily, they were still items that could not be taken out by other Treasure Shops.

As for the second floor, each of them had their own private rooms, for those rich and noble princes and sons to squander all by themselves.

Bai Zheng turned to look at the man in charge, who paused for a moment, then led Bai Zheng up to the second floor, and invited her into an elegant room.

A beautiful servant girl came in and poured some tea. Bai Zheng thanked her naturally and started to drink his tea.

The steward observed for a while without leaving a trace. He was quite sure that this girl of unknown origin had some ulterior motives, so he could only wait quietly.

Seeing that the steward was not rushing her, and had been standing at the side respectfully waiting for her orders, Bai Zheng could not help but praise in her heart, it seemed that the Treasure-collecting Tower's rules were quite good.

Bai Zheng lightly sipped her hot tea and then said: "I wonder what kind of sky-high price the most valuable treasure that was auctioned off up till now after the Treasure-collecting Tower has been opened, was it for sale?"

"300,000 gold." The supervisor replied indifferently, without showing any trace of pride.
