Chapter 185: The Truth About the Fire (2nd Update)
Xiao Yi saw that Xu Jing was thinking about it, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said: "If you don't have a clue for the time being, you don't have to force yourself, this case Dali Temple can't solve it in five years, which shows that the murderer is not so easy to find." I've heard from your guards that you've been busy lately, but you've always found time to come over, and they've told me privately that they're worried you're going to be working too hard. ”
Xu Jing was slightly stunned.
She's been really busy lately, but she didn't expect that those old-fashioned and serious guards would care about people.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve slightly, and said, "It's okay, I also like the feeling of being busy." ”
Dong Li, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but glance at his own Langjun silently.
Although he is not like Xianyun, he is willing to pull the red line, but he also somewhat understands Xianyun's hatred of iron and steel.
Obviously the person who is worried is Lang Jun, what do you have to do with those big bosses?
Lang Jun is really, for fear that the will notice his intentions!
After Xu Jing finished speaking, she looked at the sun outside, and was about to say that she would leave first if there was nothing to do, but Xiao Yi suddenly turned his head to look at her.
Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What does Xiao Shilang want to say?" ”
Xiao Yi looked at her with a pair of black eyes, for the first time in his life, he felt the feeling that his heartbeat was out of his control, his thin lips opened slightly, and said: "There are five days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Changxiao told me a few days ago, I want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you, I don't know what the thinks?" ”
Xu Jing was slightly stunned, never expected that what he wanted to say was this.
Her heart skipped a beat inexplicably, opened her mouth, and subconsciously wanted to find a reason to refuse, but the man in front of her seemed to know what she wanted to say, her black eyes became deeper and deeper, and she suddenly whispered: "Me too." ”
Xu Jing paused, and after reacting, she looked at the man in front of her with some surprise, but saw him looking at her without blinking, his expression was not like the usual relaxation at home, with a trace of solemnity and seriousness that Xu Jing couldn't understand, and those black eyes seemed to have some kind of magic, so that Xu Jing didn't know how to answer for a while.
It took a while for her to hear her own voice say, "Look at it again, I don't know if I'll be okay that day......"
The man in front of him raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously it was just an indefinite answer, but a faint smile suddenly rose in his dark eyes, and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
East fence on the side: "......"
Why did Lang Jun suddenly open his mind?
No, what's going on with this uncomfortable atmosphere? Could this be the legendary dog abuse?!
In the end, Xu Jing didn't know how she got out of this room.
Xiao Yi originally came to see her off, but a temporary attendant came to him and said that someone from the Criminal Department was coming, so Xu Jing took the opportunity to say goodbye and went out by herself.
Xiao Yifang just said that, he should just want to express that he does not reject the meaning of celebrating the holiday with her.
After all, it was Changxiao who proposed to spend the holiday with her, don't look at Xiao Yi's usual indifference to Changxiao, in fact, his doting on Changxiao is no less than her, if it is the little guy's request, Xiao Yi can understand it in order to make her agree.
The more Xu Jing thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and the strange feeling in her heart that arose because of Xiao Yifang's words quickly disappeared.
Just as she was going to the back door, a man in a crow-blue round-necked narrow-sleeved robe walked over quickly, and when he saw her, he was slightly stunned, and said in a pause: "Why are you here?" ”
But it's Zhao Jingming.
Xu Jing made comfrey paste last time, Mrs. Cen was very satisfied, and within two days, she sent someone to invite her into the mansion again, praised her very excitedly, and waved fifty cans of goods with a big hand, and by the way, she also introduced some ladies and ladies who were also troubled by gynecological diseases to her, so Xu Jing ran the Zhao family very diligently during this time, and became more and more familiar with Zhao Jingming.
Xu Jing also stopped and said, "I'm here to discuss the case of the Smile Killer with Xiao Shilang." ”
Zhao Jingming couldn't help muttering secretly, these two people didn't know what was going on, they were all talking about killing people and setting fires, not to mention those ladies and gentlemen who spent the moon before and after, even between ordinary men and women.
Xu Jing suddenly, thinking of something, hesitated for a moment, and said, "By the way, Zhao Liulang, I have something I want to ask you, the Zhuangzi of the Wang family suddenly caught fire last time, but what is the reason?" ”
When she asked Xiao Yi this question last time, Xiao Yi's reaction made her a little concerned, and now that she happened to be at Xiao Yi's house, Xu Jing remembered this matter and couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Jingming raised his eyebrows slightly, "I didn't tell you about the inkstone?" ”
Xu Jing's mind turned slightly, and she smiled faintly: "When I wanted to ask Xiao Shilang, someone from the Criminal Department called Xiao Shilang away, so I didn't ask." ”
Xu Jing just wanted to test it, but she didn't expect to get an answer that was completely different from what Xiao Yi told her.
Zhao Jingming suddenly said: "So that's the case, you really should know about this matter." Yan Ci led someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and a rough maid working in the back kitchen under Mrs. Yu said that two fireballs suddenly shot in the direction of the back kitchen that morning, and the fire was caused by this, because the people of the court and the major families were at the main gate, so they didn't see those fireballs.
Later, Yan Ci took someone to investigate in the direction pointed by the girl, and found a trebuchet there, with which the fireball was apparently thrown. Yan Ci immediately asked the nearby villagers, and several hunters said that on the night you were taken captive by Madame Yu, they heard strange sounds in the forest, and those sounds should be the sound of someone assembling a trebuchet, and at that time, Yan Ci had not even returned to Xijing. ”
Xu Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly took a breath and said, "Those people, who are they for?" ”
She suddenly had a bad premonition.
There were a lot of people in the Zhuangzi that day, and if those people were coming for other people, Xiao Yi didn't need to hide it from her.
There is only one possibility, those people are coming for her.
Zhao Jingming glanced at her and said: "Although there is no definite evidence yet, we all guess that those people were sent by the Xingwang faction, and in those days, Yan Ci began to take people to deal with the arsenal built by the Xingwang faction in Dachu, and they suffered their crazy revenge, and they are probably because of this, they are also eyeing you." ”
Seeing that Xu Jing's face was not very good, Zhao Jingming couldn't help but say: "You don't have to worry too much, the recent incident of the Holy Lord in the accountability arsenal, Shun Teng has pulled out a lot of people, those people are in danger, I am afraid that they will not have the energy to provoke you again, and the other people of the Xingwang faction will not choose to rise on the cusp of this storm, and then they should live in peace for a while, not to mention, we and Yanci will try our best to protect you." ”
Seeing Zhao Jingming racking his brains to comfort her, Xu Jing raised the corners of her mouth lightly and said, "I know, thank you Zhao Liulang." ”
With that, he continued to the back door.
Although this answer was shocking, it was just that she might have already accepted the fact that the people from the Xingwang faction had been eyeing her, so she was not so panicked.
What made her puzzled was Xiao Yi's attitude, why did he hide it from her? Was she afraid that if she told her the truth, she would be afraid, or was it for some other reason?
When she first learned about this matter, she was really at a loss for a while, and she secretly complained that Xiao Yi had dragged her into this matter, but she had dealt with countless vicious criminals, and it was not unheard of being deliberately retaliated against and threatened, so she quickly accepted this matter.
What's more, it was she who took the initiative to find Xiao Yat and said that she would cooperate with him to track down Zheng Shouyan's case, and she would be involved in this matter, and Xiao Yat could not be blamed entirely.
Xiao Yi's later layout, she also understands, after all, this is his job, it is related to the health of the family and the country, it is impossible not to do this because she is alone, if it were her, she would make the same choice.
She felt that her attitude was already obvious.
Suddenly, she was slightly stunned.
Xiao Yi didn't tell her, could it be because she was afraid that she would have psychological pressure because of this matter, so she would be forced to respond to the proposal of the saint and Xiao He and agree to fake remarriage with him?
After getting along for this period of time, Xu Jing didn't feel that Xiao Yi would dislike her as before, so she didn't want to fake a remarriage with her, but she should only be an ordinary friend or colleague, so she didn't want the relationship between them to become too complicated.
The more Xu Jing thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, she was a little angry at Xiao Yi for hiding the truth from her, but when she thought about it, she suddenly became angry.
After all, she thinks she knows him very well - tsk, fake remarriage or something, it feels embarrassing to think about it, it makes people feel wrong, okay!
After figuring out this matter, Xu Jing suddenly felt refreshed, and just at this time, the Zhou family arrived.
She got out of the carriage, and as soon as she walked into Zhou's house, she saw Zhou Qizheng walking quickly towards her with five or six men, and when she saw her, her face was happy, and she said, "Xu Niang, you came back just in time, I just happened to have something to look for you."
