Bai Shuqin chatted with Beizhu about the recent situation, but out of the corner of his eye, he swept to a person who shouldn't have been here.

She thought she was dazzled, rubbed her eyes, and looked at them fixedly. There was indeed a person standing in the middle of the courtyard, and she still asked Beizhu without giving up: "Look over there, is there a man there?" ”

Beizhu looked into the courtyard, and he didn't know when someone appeared there, obviously there was no one just now. This courtyard is a backyard, which is used to dry medicinal herbs, and patients will not come in.

"Hmm." Beizhu nodded puzzled, ready to go over and ask if he came to see a doctor.

Bai Shuqin saw that Beizhu was going over, pulled her back, and whispered to her: "Don't go, just don't see it." ”

After saying that, she was about to turn around and leave, but a man's voice came from behind: "Where do you want to go?" ”

Bai Shuqin tugged at the corners of her mouth, showed a polite smile, and looked at Nangong Che who was walking towards her.

When he came to her at this time, there must be nothing good for him.

Nangong Che couldn't see any emotion on his face, he came to Bai Shuqin, glanced at her, and said coldly: "I have something to tell you." ”

Bai Shuqin instructed Du Zijun and Beizhu next to him: "You go elsewhere first." ”

Du Zijun saw that Nangong Che was tall and upright, and he didn't look like a bad person, so he left with Beizhu and left the courtyard for the two of them.

After everyone walked away, Nangong Che's tone was a little angry, "You don't seem to want to see me?" ”

"No, how dare you!" Bai Shuqin said perfunctory, who wants to see the boss when she is fine, this is human nature, but she will not be stupid enough to say it.

"What's the matter with your sudden arrival of the deity?" Bai Shuqin said curiously, in the past, he either asked people to send letters or fly pigeons to pass on books, and then he asked her to find him, but now he actually came to her in person, which is amazing.

"I can't come to you if I'm fine?" Nangong Che raised his eyebrows and said.

"Of course, it's better not to!" Bai Shuqin said without being tactful, "You also know our relationship, and we can't be on the stage." It's not good to be discovered! ”

Nangong Che ignored her, and instead looked at the courtyard, which made Bai Shuqin confused.

"How's that for you to investigate?" Nangong Che suddenly asked.

Bai Shuqin was so busy during the Spring Festival before that he couldn't take a break at all, not to mention that Du Zijun was not by his side at that time. Now it's just the beginning, and he came to ask about the progress, and it seems that she still has a time limit.

Sure enough, as Bai Shuqin expected, Nangong Che continued, "The emperor attaches great importance to this matter, don't waste your time." ”

"Yes." Bai Shuqin agreed, and then asked him rhetorically, "You ran away in person, just to warn me about this?" I wonder if you've been a little too idle lately! ”

Before Nangong Che could answer, Bai Shuqin asked again: "Nangong Pavilion Master, there is something I have wanted to ask you for a long time. ”

"Ask."

"My monthly money, isn't it time to settle it?"

Nangong Che was stunned, she didn't expect her to ask this question. "The dignified three imperial concubines, will you still care about the monthly money?"

Bai Shuqin frowned, ready to talk to him about this matter, he just wanted the horses to run fast, but he didn't want to give the horses grazing, where did this good thing come from in the world.

"Isn't that the way it should be? Aren't you a little unreasonable to work hard for you and not even give you money? You have the money to afford the girl of Qiyi Red Mansion, how can you not give me a penny? ”

Nangong Che was speechless by her, and she didn't understand how a woman could take out the bag girl so easily.

Bai Shuqin didn't really want money, after all, she had enough private money herself, and she didn't lack this. Just used this matter to let Nangong Che know that she didn't owe them anything.

If she hadn't been poisoned, she wouldn't have paid any attention to them.

"Tell me, how much do you want?" Nangong Che suddenly relented.

Bai Shuqin didn't even think about it, and directly stretched out five fingers, "Five hundred taels a month!" ”

"Five hundred taels is too high, five taels is reasonable!" Nangong Che gave it simply.

Bai Shuqin looked at him unwillingly, this mouth bargaining was so ruthless, and he was the only one. But something is better than nothing, "deal!" ”

Without waiting for Bai Shuqin to ask for money, Nangong Che had already taken out a hundred taels of silver tickets and stretched them out in front of her, "This is one hundred taels, it is worth rewarding you." ”

Bai Shuqin quickly took the silver ticket, checked the authenticity, and stuffed it into his waist.

"Thank you! When you suddenly came to this medical center, did you want to be cured? Bai Shuqin didn't forget to inquire about his true purpose, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he pretended to suddenly realize: "Yihong Mansion has lived for too long and hurt your waist?" I'll ask them to prescribe you some Liuwei Dihuang pills! ”

"You dare!" Nangong Che's already cold face became even colder.

There is no joke in this world that Bai Shuqin dare not make, she has an understanding expression, and said understandingly: "Don't worry, I will never talk nonsense about this." ”

Nangong Che gritted his teeth and said, "My waist is fine!" Then he narrowed his eyes, his expression a hint of danger, "Or, do you want to try?" ”

Bai Shuqin, who was driving in this car, was caught off guard, and she confessed, "No!" I also have a husband, and I can't use it for two purposes, so you can find someone else to try it. ”

With him, Bai Shuqin was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get any cheap, so she stretched out her hand with a smile, "I know everything you said, you are so busy, I won't leave you for dinner." ”

Nangong Che regained his expressionless appearance, and Bai Shuqin felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye than just now.

She was afraid that he wouldn't leave, but she didn't expect to leave quite simply, leaving her confused. Could it really be that coming over was just a reminder that time was running out?

It seems that this matter is much more important than she imagined, otherwise how could she alarm Nangong Che to come in person.

After Nangong Che left Baohetang, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Bai Shuqin was really more interesting than he thought.

After Nangong Che's sudden visit, Bai Shuqin didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately asked Du Zijun to investigate Xu Fei's affairs. From Xu Fei's words, she guessed that there were officials who bought and sold official positions, and they could not escape the corruption case.

The sky was gloomy, but the evening suddenly cleared, and the sun was setting, and the remnants of the sun were like blood.

The cold winter has passed, and even the wind is not as cold as before, and it is gentle as if spring has arrived.

Zhuo Jinxuan is back to his former busyness, and he can't come back if the sun doesn't set every day.

In order not to affect the fetus in her belly, Bai Shuqin has always eaten small meals and eaten more often. Usually she eats first, and then eats after Zhuo Jinxuan comes back, but today she has been waiting for him to come back.

Zhuo Jinxuan came back later today than usual, and when he heard that she hadn't eaten yet, he preached Qingluan.

He had already figured out Bai Shuqin's temper, and it was more useful to say that the people around her were more useful than directly saying that she came. Say her directly, she won't listen at all.

Bai Shuqin saw that Qingluan was involved, and took Zhuo Jinxuan's hand and said coquettishly: "Don't talk about her, I want to wait for you to come back and eat it." Are you hungry? Let's eat! ”

"You! Next time, don't be so willful, eat as much as you want first. I'll try to come back as early as possible in the future. Zhuo Jinxuan assured her.

Bai Shuqin didn't have any opinion on him coming back sooner or later, but she had something to ask him today.

During the meal, Bai Shuqin's courtesy to Zhuo Jinxuan made him a little uncomfortable, and he put the egg she sandwiched into his bowl into her bowl, "You and I are husband and wife, if you have something to say, don't be like this." ”

"You've seen it!" Bai Shuqin stuck out his tongue.

Zhuo Jinxuan sighed dotingly, "Say, what bad idea have you thought of again." ”

"How can you think so much of your lady?" Bai Shuqin pretended to be angry, and the next second he said seriously: "I need to be in charge of the list of all the examiners in the imperial examination last year." ”

Zhuo Jinxuan was puzzled: "All the imperial examination examiners? How do you want this? ”

"Can you not say it? I do need it, can you help me? Bai Shuqin looked at him expectantly, she knew that the examiners of the imperial examination were kept secret except for the palace examination to prevent the candidates from cheating.

Zhuo Jinxuan is not in charge of the imperial examination, and he rarely asks about this matter, Bai Shuqin suddenly asked for a list, and he didn't have it for a while.

He thought about it for a while before returning to Bai Shuqin: "I'll let them check it tomorrow, don't worry." ”

As long as Zhuo Jinxuan promised her, she believed that she would definitely give her the result tomorrow, and she would not be in a hurry.

The next morning, Bai Shuqin was not idle, she secretly went to Baifu.

The plaque of the emperor of Baifu himself was damaged by Bai Shuqin last time, and Bai Shaoan made a fake and hung it up in order not to let the emperor know about it.

Bai Shuqin sneered in his heart, the dignity on his face was more important than life in their eyes.

After all, it is the place where Bai Shuqin has lived since he was a child, and although he is not familiar with the layout of Baifu, he is also familiar with it.

Bai Shaoan is a thoughtful person, except for Mrs. Bai and Bai Bingbin, he doesn't believe in anyone else.

This also saved Bai Shuqin trouble, if Bai Shao'an had a corrupt account book, it should also be placed in their room, if not, the situation would be complicated.

Bai Shuqin rarely had contact with corrupt officials, and it was not their turn to ask about modern anti-corruption matters. However, she has also read a lot of books, and she still knows a little about the methods used by these people to hide money in ancient times.

Some people build walls of gold and silver, which look the same as ordinary walls on the outside, but inside they are embezzled money.

Bai Shuqin walked to the corner of Baifu with a small hammer, and with a hammer down, half a cyan brick fell.

"Solid!" Bai Shuqin picked up the brick and sighed, threw the brick aside, and continued to knock down a wall.

Her abnormal behavior made passers-by cast strange glances at her, and she glared at her fiercely.

Each side of the entire perimeter wall was knocked a few times by Bai Shuqin, and it was all normal. When she knocked on the last side, she finally gave up.

The outside wall is knocked, and the inside wall is finished, but it's a big job. On her own, I'm afraid she will have to knock it out until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.

For as long as she can remember, she has not seen Bai Shao'an build a new wall, at most it is repaired once a year.

After this method was eliminated by her, she thought of a new hiding place, which, as far as she could remember, had indeed been built in recent years.

Bai Shuqin thought of the fish pond in Mrs. Bai's courtyard, saying that there are fish to have wealth, and it seems that it is hidden under the water.

However, Madame Bai's courtyard has always had a lot of servants, and if you want to hide it from everyone, I am afraid that it can only be done at night. But she is pregnant now, so let's leave the matter of going into the water to Du Zijun.

Thinking of this, she pinned the hammer to her waist and went home to wait for their news.

Du Zijun has not come back since he went out in the morning, and he doesn't know what the results of the investigation are. It was Zhuo Jinxuan's side that asked Qingfeng to bring back the list of all the examiners in charge of the imperial examination.

Bai Shuqin was still very satisfied with Zhuo Jinxuan's efficiency, she took the roster handed by Qingfeng, opened it and looked at it confidently.

Last year, the chief examiner of the imperial examination had Bai Shaoan's name written on it, and he was the person in charge. The rest are officials above the third rank in the dynasty, and it can be seen that the imperial examination is still very important.

Bai Shuqin asked Qingluan to bring a blank piece of paper, write out the names of all the examiners, and mark their factions clearly.

It can be seen that the officials who defend Zhuo Qingyuan and those who maintain Zhuo Jinxuan each account for one-third, and the remaining one-third have unclear attitudes.

But this information is not enough to say anything, and they are indeed qualified to be examiners.

When Du Zijun came back, it was already after lunch, and he was holding a pile of paper in his hand, and he didn't know what it was.
