The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 166 The past 12 years ago (first update)
Zhao Jingming was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Xu Jing to think of that. Seeing the worry and self-blame in Xu Jing's eyebrows, he waved his hand and said carelessly: "That guy deserves all the injuries he suffered. Don’t take it to heart.”

Hearing what he said, and recalling what Zhao Jingming said yesterday when he took Xiao Yi for treatment, Xu Jingfu reached into her heart and said, "Could it be that Minister Xiao was injured before he entered Wang's Zhuangzi?"

"how do you know……"

Zhao Jingming raised his eyebrows. Thinking of this woman's miraculous ability to solve crimes, he couldn't help curling his lips and said: "Yes, that guy left Xijing some time ago for business. He just returned to Xijing early yesterday morning with an injury. I heard... you were arrested. After arriving at Zhuangzi, he ignored everyone's advice and insisted on going in. What does the hit he got hit by a pillar yesterday count? It's his fault!"

As he spoke, he bared his teeth, showing that he was very angry.

Xu Jing felt a little heavy in her heart, but she said, "Shilang Xiao is doing his duty well."

That guy is so dedicated to his duties!What if she wasn't inside?Even if the minister of Dali Temple approached him, he would not even look at it, and would directly reply coldly: "This case does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment."

This is the first time in his life that he has seen such a helpful Xiao Yanci!

Zhao Jingming's mouth twitched fiercely, unable to complain.

Xu Jing was a little concerned and asked: "Where was Mr. Xiao injured before? Is what he did dangerous? Well, if it's not convenient to say, just pretend I didn't ask."

"It's really inconvenient for other people to say it. It's okay to say what you say. After all, it's related to you."

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, then heard Zhao Jingming say: "Didn't I tell you before that King Xing secretly deployed four arsenals in Dachu? Zheng Shouyan vomited three of them before he died. Yan Ci had been hanging on King Xing's In addition to wanting to fish out more of their people, the people around them also had the idea of ​​​​finding out where the fourth weapons depot was.

Yanci successfully fished out a few people from Prince Xing's side who were impatient, and asked them about the location of the fourth weapons depot.Some time ago, he was ordered to lead his troops to deal with the four weapons depots.

If these four arsenals were touched, the lifeblood of the Xingwang Sect would be touched. Those people went crazy and sent dead soldiers to sneak attack Yanci. Even though Yanci had expected it, they still fell into their trap. There was an opening there. "

Zhao Jingming stretched out two fingers to mark the scar on Xiao Yi's back. Xu Jing's eyebrows twitched slightly. According to Zhao Jingming's instructions, the wound on Xiao Yi's back was as long as a baby's arm!

That's definitely not a minor injury!

No wonder when I saw him yesterday, his face looked so bad. He was so injured that he still managed to get into Wang's Zhuangzi. No wonder Zhao Jingming was so angry!
Xu Jing knew that Xiao Yi was not in Xijing some time ago, but she didn't expect him to deal with this matter.

Xu Jing couldn't help but frowned, "Isn't he the Minister of Justice? Why would he lead troops to deal with such a thing..."

She almost asked whether there was no one else who could control the Holy Emperor.

Zhao Jingming, however, had a accustomed expression on his face, "Isn't it the Holy One's final say who will do what? Besides, Yan Ci found these four arsenals, so it makes sense for him to handle them. Don't you think that Yan Ci is the Ministry of Punishment? Is the minister just a civil servant who only knows how to investigate cases and write articles? The Xiao family also followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world. Although today's Xiao family is not a pure family of military generals, it also relies on military service to build its career. The Xiao family has always attached great importance to it. The junior’s attainments in martial arts.

In fact, Yanci joined the army at the age of 13. He stayed in the army for four full years and could be said to have completely experienced the entire King Wu Rebellion.You were not young at that time, so you must have an impression. When King Wu first started to rebel, he caught the court by surprise. The court was completely at a disadvantage at the beginning. During that time, the entire northwest of Da Chu fell into the hands of King Wu, and the people were displaced. , life is in ruins, and mourning is everywhere.

Yanci joined the main force that conquered King Wu at that time. Following my father and the others, they regained the lost territory of Dachu little by little, and saw the cruelty of war.Don't look at Yanci who is so old-fashioned and boring now. He...has also experienced a lot of things to become like this.In the past few years, rebel forces in various places are ready to move again. Yanci has devoted almost all his thoughts and energy to annihilating those rebel forces, working harder than all of us. He, the Minister of Justice, is just a cover... "The woman in front of him looked stunned. Zhao Jingming realized that he had said too much, so he quickly closed his mouth and said: "Anyway, this is not the first time that this guy has tried to kill himself. You don't need to take it to heart. He will be killed one day. He died young and he brought it upon himself! "

He is not afraid that these words will be heard. The servants who are still here are far away from them. Besides, the Zhao family is his territory, so he has a sense of propriety.

Xu Jing didn't expect Xiao Yi to have such a past.

The original owner does have memories of King Wu's Rebellion 12 years ago, but what he knows is very limited. The original owner was nine years old at the time and was still raised in a village in the suburbs. The information is very closed. In addition to knowing that King Wu's Rebellion lasted for four full years, Da Chu's vitality was damaged by this battle, and she almost couldn't resist the foreign tribes from the frontier who took the opportunity to invade. She didn't know how many more people there were.

Now after listening to Zhao Jingming's words, Xu Jing realized that the situation back then was far more critical than she thought. If the imperial court had not won in the end, she would not have known what a turbulent world she would have to face after coming here.

Today's Dachu may still be full of dangers, but generally she is peaceful and happy. This is God's rare kindness to her.

She suddenly remembered something and said: "I heard that Xiao Shilang was 17 years old when he was admitted to the first prize..."

"That's right," Zhao Jingming suddenly said with a look of envy and jealousy on his face: "That guy took the imperial examination just half a year after he came out of the army. Who would have thought that he would get the top spot in the examination all of a sudden? You also think that he is very hated by others. stop!"

Xu Jing: "..."

It is indeed hateful enough.

However, she also understood why Xiao Yi's name was so famous among the younger generation.

Although many children of aristocratic families can work in an official position due to their family's influence, unless they can inherit their family's title, if they want to hold a powerful position, they still have to take the imperial examination like ordinary people.

However, in her impression, Xiao Yi was the eldest son of the Xiao family and should inherit the title. Why did he have to take the imperial examination?
In the memory of the original owner, it seemed that there was no memory of Xiao Yi coming into contact with the Xiao family.

Madam Cai Cen also said just now that with the current situation of the Xiao family, no one can handle Xiao Yi's marriage... Is there any hidden secret in this?
Just when Xu Jing was deep in thought, Zhao Shaohua came back. Seeing that Zhao Jingming was still here, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and kept reminding himself that this brother was a close relative and could not be beaten. He smiled and said to Xu Jing: "Doctor Xu, you are rare. Come to the Zhao family and I will take you to visit the Zhao family’s yard.”

Xu Jing saw that Zhao Shaohua still had something to say to her, so she smiled and said, "Okay, please excuse me, Mrs. Zhao."

After seeing Zhao Shaohua give him a warning look, he took Xu Jing and left. Zhao Jingming was speechless for a while and looked at the sky silently.

Well, it's good news to know that Xu Jing plans to develop in Xijing in the future.

Not far away, Zhao Shaohua took Xu Jing's hand affectionately and said, "Doctor Xu, actually I have something else to ask you for help."
