Chapter 225 Suspicious People
It's not that Bai Susu didn't think about using donations, but there was too much exploitation in it, and in the end it just swelled other people's pockets.

Another point is that she always needs to sell some money so that she can support the group of female guards and shadow guards in her hands, as well as the guys in her shop.

"The empress is still kind. If it were me, I would definitely be a profiteer." After Gu Wu finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately looked at Zhou Ximing again, and added, "But I will definitely not be a traitor."

Hearing what the boy said, Bai Susu couldn't help shaking her head, drank a cup of tea with a smile, and held the hand of the person beside her familiarly.

"You can't be a treacherous minister." Zhou Ximing looked at the young man's cheerful appearance, and handed a wooden sign to the young man, "I need you to secretly go to Suicheng to investigate all matters concerning the purchase of food by the Eagle Clan .”

Gu Wu picked up the wooden sign and played with it for a while, then asked, "I'm going alone? Why don't you send me someone?"

"That would scare the snake away." Zhou Ximing looked at him with a calm face, "When you get there, if there is any danger, someone will help you secretly."

"Okay." Gu Wu answered, carefully put away the wooden sign in his hand, and sat there quietly waiting for his meal.

He wanted to eat at this restaurant before, but unfortunately he didn't have enough money.I didn't expect that after meeting a noble person, I could still have a good time.

After finishing his meal quickly, Gu Wu bowed to Bai Susu and Zhou Ximing, "Then the emperor, the empress, and the grass people will leave first."

"With such a jumpy personality, I don't know if he will encounter any danger." Bai Susu watched Gu Wu leave, and couldn't help but said to Zhou Ximing.

This Gu Wu looked only a few years older than Bai Jingyun, he looked like a young man, how could he deal with those cautious eagles.

"This young man looks happy, but he is bold and cautious." Zhou Ximing smiled and held Bai Susu's hand.

Just now he saw that the young man seemed to be out of tune, but he was in control of everything.The key to this matter may really be on this young man.

Coming out of the restaurant, Bai Susu saw that the old man selling toys made from bamboo leaves beside the restaurant had turned into a middle-aged man, and he was still weaving bamboo leaves in his hands.

His eyes fell on his hands, but Bai Susu noticed something was wrong.She pulled a corner of Zhou Ximing and led him to the stall, "Let's go buy two more bamboo dragonflies."

"it is good."

Go to the bamboo dragonfly seller, pick up two bamboo dragonflies, "How do you sell these two bamboo dragonflies?"

"One three Wen, two five Wen." The uncle looked up, quoted the price, then lowered his head and began to fold non-stop.

Bai Susu handed the copper plate to the uncle, looked at the two not-so-good-looking bamboo dragonflies in his hands, and asked casually, "Where is the old man who sold bamboo dragonflies here?"

"Oh, that's my father. He left a few days ago, and I'll take over his business." The uncle replied stiffly, and the hand weaving bamboo dragonflies paused for a moment, almost tearing the bamboo leaves in half.

"Your skills are indeed not as good as your father's." Bai Susu took it over and looked at it, then murmured in confusion, "Why is there something wrong with this technique?"

"Buy it and go, don't disturb my business." The big man put down his work and looked at Bai Susu with unfriendly eyes, as if he would come over to give Bai Susu a hammer in the next second.

Bai Susu took two steps back unconsciously, and was pulled into his arms by Zhou Ximing.The big man looked at Zhou Ximing's unkind eyes, and instantly lowered his head again, and began to weave the bamboo leaves in his hands.

"Let's go." Bai Susu took Zhou Ximing's hand, and left with him, and handed the two bamboo-leaf dragonflies to Zhou Ximing, "Did you find any problems just now?"

"The man's middle finger has a thick callus, and so does the tiger's mouth." This is the callus that only those who practice bow and arrow all the year round will have.

"The old man used to like to set up a stall in the restaurant. Every time I went, I would buy a few and chat with him." Bai Susu looked at Zhou Ximing, "The old man has a son, but he is far away in the frontier. I haven't returned home all the year round, but now I come back quickly."

No wonder Bai Susu thought too much, it's just that when she heard the old man's words, she always felt that his son had passed away.

"Do you think this person is suspicious?" Zhou Ximing grabbed Bai Susu's hand, "Or is it just pure doubt?"

"If it was before, it was just a moment of doubt." Bai Susu looked at him, "Now that something about the Eagle Clan has happened, it's hard not to let people think too much."

Like an indescribable sixth sense, Bai Susu felt that there was something wrong with that person.

"I will send someone to investigate, and now I'm going to another place to take a look."

Enter the palace and go to the place where the ministers read the papers.Before Bai Susu went in, he heard the violent quarrel among the ministers inside.

Bai Susu held Zhou Ximing's hand and stood outside the door, listening to these people's verbal confrontation, as if no one would give in to anyone, and asked in a low voice: "Who will correct the number of papers? Fighting so hard?"

"How many papers are corrected will be responsible for all the affairs of these papers. If there are any mistakes in the middle, they will not be able to escape the responsibility."

Bai Susu nodded, followed him to stand at the door and listened for a while, and couldn't help asking: "You brought me here just to see these?"

"No." Zhou Ximing shook his head, "I'm waiting for them to finish their argument and divide the papers."

After another quarter of an hour, the ministers in the room cursed and put the assigned test papers on their seats, picked up the cinnabar pen, with a melancholy expression on their faces, and hesitated to write the first stroke.

This kind of thing is reflected in almost all the ministers.

At this time, Zhou Ximing brought Bai Susu in from the outside, pretending to have just arrived, and asked aloud: "I wonder how the progress of the loves is going?"

In a word, the officials who asked the question were all choked up, and there is still a copy that has not been corrected.

Tang Jianshan, who was the leader, stood up and said to the emperor: "I haven't started to correct yet, and I have a problem, so I dare not write and correct for a long time."

"I don't know what kind of problem Aiqing encountered?" Zhou Ximing and Bai Susu sat on the side, and followed Tang Jianshan's words to ask.

"It's about the answers to the questions on the scroll." Tang Jianshan explained aloud, "I don't know what the scoring standard is?"

"It depends on the ministers' understanding of these topics." Zhou Ximing said, "In addition, every minister must read all the papers here to prevent any negligence in the middle."
