Chapter 224: A Qualified Pair (1st Update)
The moment Zhao Jingming saw Xiao Yi, he felt that his little heart was about to jump out, and when he saw the man not far away walking towards them quickly, he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to, so he quickly hid behind Xu Jing and begged in a low voice, "Xu Niang, help me!" If I let Yan Ci know that I brought you here, I will really die! ”
Xu Jing: "......"
They didn't do anything bad, so there's no need to be so exaggerated.
Just as Xiao Yi was about to walk in front of them, Zhao Shaohua stood at the front in a flash, glared at Xiao Yi and said, "Xiao Yanci, you tell me clearly, what are you doing here?" ”
Xiao Yi was slightly stunned, and immediately knew that they had misunderstood, so he hurriedly subconsciously looked at Xu Jing, and saw that the woman's eyebrows not far away raised slightly, and she seemed to smile a little helplessly: "Shaohua, don't be so impulsive, Xiao ...... When Yan Ci came here, there should be something to do. ”
Her reaction made the other three stunned for a moment, Zhao Shaohua turned his head to look at Xu Jing, and said with some surprise: "Ah Jing, you don't care at all?" ”
If she saw her husband in such a place, regardless of whether he had serious things to do, she would inevitably have some reaction in her heart, and she would have to prepare a washboard to torture him when she went home.
Xu Jing coughed lightly and said: "It's not that I don't care, I just believe in Yanci, if I don't believe him, I won't decide to remarry him." ”
Zhao Shaohua was a little speechless for a while.
It sounds very reasonable, but I always feel that something is wrong.
Xiao Yi looked at the woman not far away with slightly dark eyes, the hand behind his back was quietly clenched into a fist, and he took a secret breath before he said in a deep voice: "I'm not here as you think, but I have something to do." But you ......."
He narrowed his eyes suddenly, and a pair of dark eyes accurately locked on Zhao Jingming, who was hiding behind Xu Jing, and said, "Why are you dressed like this and appear here?" Changyu, do you want to explain it to me? ”
This look is ten million times more terrifying than when he provoked Xiao Yi on weekdays, Zhao Jingming screamed in his heart, pulled the corners of his mouth and said as calmly as possible: "I see that Sister Ah Xi and are quite boring, so I brought them here to relax......"
"Nonsense!"
Xiao Yi's brows suddenly frowned even tighter, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you went to visit the teacher yesterday?" You brought Ah Jing here, but you want her to help you investigate the case of Guozijian? ”
Seeing that his purpose was seen through, Zhao Jingming's whole person shrugged down, "I'm just worried about the teacher, I will definitely protect the'......"
Seeing that Xiao Yi's face was not very good, Xu Jing looked at him for a while, and suddenly said, "You don't want me to meddle in this case?" ”
Although Xu Jing is assertive, it does not mean that she is stubborn and unreasonable, although she has not officially remarried Xiao Yi now, but the holy decree has been made, in the eyes of outsiders, she is already tied to Xiao Yi.
And Wang Qilang, who was in charge of this case, was obviously hostile to Xiao Yi, if Xiao Yi didn't want her to meddle in this case for some reason, she could also stop it.
On the premise of not affecting her own interests, she doesn't mind making some concessions for Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was stunned, lowered his eyes and looked directly at the woman in front of him, and said, "No." ”
After a pause, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Jing's hand directly, and said to Zhao Jingming's sister and brother, "I'll say a few words to Ah Jing", and pulled Xu Jing to the side.
Xu Jing was suddenly held by him, her heart skipped a slight beat, and when she reacted, she was already pulled by him into a corner where no one was.
Xiao Yi let go of her hand, turned to look at her and said, "If you want to participate in this case, just let go and do it, I will find a way to make it more convenient for you." ”
This answer made Xu Jing a little stunned, and without waiting for her to ask anything, Xiao Yi continued: "Previously, although the Holy Lord personally rewarded you for assisting the court in solving the case, but because you are a woman, it is also because you ...... Many people are not very convinced by what you did before, and some people even say that I made up the credit for your work.
Without the approval of other officials in the DPRK and China, it will be very difficult for you to participate in solving the case in the future, but now it is an opportunity. ”
Xiao Yi looked at Xu Jing steadily, and the corners of his mouth raised imperceptibly, "Go and solve this case that Dali Temple couldn't solve for more than three months, and let them see with their own eyes what you can do." ”
Xu Jing never expected that Xiao Yi would think like this.
She was worried that her involvement in this case would cause him trouble, but he hoped that she could pass this case and clear his name.
Okay, even if she and Xiao Yi are not a real couple, they must be a qualified partner.
Xu Jing couldn't help but smile a little on her face, and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to live up to Xiao Shilang's expectations." Seeing that your face is so bad, I thought you didn't want me to meddle in this case. ”
The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed secretly: "This kind of place is mixed with dragons and snakes, and I can't help but be worried when I suddenly see you here." ”
He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, his heart swelled with indescribable bitterness, and he said softly: "You...... Be careful yourself, and tell me if you have something. I still have official business, so I'll go over first. ”
After speaking, he turned his head and warned Zhao Jingming with his eyes from afar, and then turned to leave.
Xu Jing looked at Xiao Yi's departing figure and couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.
Although it was for official business, it turned out that he would come to this kind of place.
On the way back, Zhao Shaohua heard Xu Jing say the reason why Xiao Yi asked her to continue to participate in the investigation, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "You quasi-couple are really peculiar, you don't care about Yan Ci going in and out of that kind of fireworks place, Yan Ci, unlike ordinary men who are bent on thinking about your husband and children after marriage, and only thinking about how to make the world recognize your talent."
Well, it's me and other laypeople who can't understand your thoughts, I originally thought your attitude was too cold, but after listening to Yanci's thoughts, I suddenly felt that it was normal for your thoughts to be strange. ”
Xu Jing glanced at Zhao Shaohua amusedly, didn't continue the topic, turned to Zhao Jingming and said: "Although Yan Ci said that he would find a way to create some convenience for us, we don't know what the convenience he said is, and now we can only rely on ourselves to collect intelligence."
The situation over there in Guixiangyuan can still be dug deeper, Zhao Liulang, you said that you have a cousin studying in Guozijian, and the students of Guozijian should have relevant certificates to prove that they are students, see if you can borrow it from your cousin, and go to Guixiangyuan to inquire again as a classmate of the deceased.
Because other Hualou took the opportunity to use this incident to smear Guixiangyuan, the people of Guixiangyuan were obviously very wary of the person who asked about this case, but asking as a classmate of the deceased could lower their vigilance. ”
Zhao Jingming immediately nodded and said, "When I go to Guozijian tomorrow, I can borrow it from Jing'an by the way." ”
The two agreed on a time to go to Guozijian the next day, and Xu Jing went back to her home.
The next day, Zhao Jingming came to Xu Jing's house after he got off duty, and Zhao Shaohua came with him.
Facing Xu Jing's inquiring eyes, Zhao Shaohua smiled and held Xu Jing's hand, and said, "I'm here to help you, I'm also Jing'an's sister, I went to visit Jing'an with Xiaoliu, so it won't make people suspicious." ”
Xu Jing glanced at her, she didn't debunk her but was curious to follow their careful thoughts, took out a small cloth bag and untied it on the table in front of her, motioned to them to look at the brown powder in the cloth bag and said: "After I brought these powders back yesterday, I studied them for a long time and only knew that sulfur was added to them, because I could smell the rotten egg smell unique to sulfur, and there were some Chinese herbs such as asaroxin, parsnip and bellflower, but I don't know what this powder is used for, Therefore, I sent someone to take it to Zhou Dangjia in Tianyi Pavilion to inquire. ”
