The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 245 The so-called Shura Field (first update)
  Xu Jing looked into Xu Huaian's eyes, pursed her lips slightly, and didn't know how to respond to him.

The tourmaline butterfly and peony hairpin he was talking about was sold by the original owner after she mistakenly believed that the Xu family had betrayed her.

It was one of the first items she sold because she had the most complicated feelings for Xu Huaian, so she hated him the most.

However, later on, she tried to go back to the pawn shop to redeem it several times, but she held it back.

She struggled for a long time and opened her mouth. Just as she was about to say something, Chunyang's inexplicable and somewhat cautious voice suddenly came from behind her, "Mother...Mother, Minister Xiao is here."

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, turned her head subconsciously, and saw not far behind her, a handsome man in purple official uniform standing quietly next to Chunyang, a pair of black eyes looking at her unblinking, like a deep and dark mouth. The ancient well makes it difficult to see whether there are ripples in it.

Xu Jing was inexplicably panicked and walked over quickly and said, "Why did Mr. Xiao come here so early in the morning?"

Judging from Chunyang's expression and tone, Xiao Yi probably heard what Xu Huaian said to her just now!

It's just too unlucky for him to come!

However, she didn't know how to explain the matter between her and Xu Huaian to him.

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, noticing the rare panic in her eyes. His eyes flickered slightly. No matter how depressed his heart was, there was only a faint smile on his face, and he said: "You yesterday The Emperor was very happy that he successfully solved the case of the Imperial College. He said that he would reward you greatly this time. When I went to see the Emperor yesterday, he asked me what you wanted. Because I didn’t know very well, I came here to ask. Give it a try."

"Ah, so..."

Of course Xu Jing was happy to be rewarded, but she couldn't be happy in this situation.

She could feel Xu Huaian behind her still looking at her intently, his eyes so hot that he seemed to want to open two holes in her back. This was the first time she encountered such a thing, and she didn't know how to deal with it. With a twitch in his mind, he actually grabbed Xiao Yi's hand and said, "Let's go aside and chat."

After saying that, he turned to Xu Huai'an and twitched his lips, saying: "Cousin, please go in first, I'll be here in a moment."

While talking, he pulled Xiao Yi towards the corner.

Xiao Yi looked at the hand he was holding in a daze. When he passed Xu Huai'an, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, only to see that his face was gray and slumped, and his eyes were closely chasing the woman who was holding him, with a look in his eyes. The sadness and trance were so full that they almost poured out.

He unconsciously retracted the hand he was holding, and tightly held the woman's slightly cool and soft hand.

Xu Jing's heart was a little confused, and she didn't notice Xiao Yi's little movements at all. It wasn't until she was far away from the Shura field just now that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed her hands and turned to Xiao Yi. Before she could say anything, she heard the man in front of her whisper. : "But the timing of my coming is not right?"

Xu Jing was slightly stunned and said quickly: "Of course not, the man just now... is my cousin. My uncle's family came yesterday. They have taken good care of me since I was a child. It's just that a few years ago, I had some misunderstandings with them. Yesterday, Let’s talk.”

After a pause, he added: "The Holy Father has decreed that we should remarry. Don't worry, I won't do anything to embarrass you."

If they were just ordinary friends, Xu Jing wouldn't have to explain so much to him.

But since they are about to remarry, they still need to be clear about what needs to be said.

If Chun Yang were present, he would have covered his face and sighed again.

What does it mean to draw darker and darker, that's it!
  After Xu Jing finished speaking, the man in front of her was inexplicably silent for a long time. She couldn't help but look at him strangely, and saw him raise the corner of his mouth and said, "I believe you. This is your first public investigation. You have achieved such good results in the case, and the Holy One also intends to promote you so that you can have more opportunities to participate in the government's investigations in the future. You can think carefully about what reward you want."

Xu Jing stared at Xiao Yi unconsciously for a while, and after feeling that there was nothing strange about him, she said: "In terms of gold and silver, the Holy Father already rewarded me a lot last time, and I also have a house now..."

She suddenly thought of Guangmingtang, which Zhou Qi had always been worried about.

Although he didn't mention the fact that Guangmingtang was about to supply medicine to the army, how could he really not care about it. If she takes this opportunity to ask the Lord to allow Tianyi Pavilion to also supply medicine to the army...

No, no, this is equivalent to taking food from the tiger's mouth. The Jiang family will definitely have objections, and she doesn't want to raise Tianyi Pavilion so high all of a sudden.

Xu Jing thought for a long time and didn't know what reward she should give. She simply looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Does Mr. Xiao have any suggestions?"

Xiao Yi knows more about official affairs and will think more deeply about this matter than she does.

Just like before, when she first came into contact with the Imperial College case, she was still thinking about whether to intervene. He had already thought of letting her use this case to officially take up the title of female detective and let those weird things about her go. Rumors have given up.

"I do have a suggestion."

Xiao Yi said: "Ajing can take this opportunity to ask the Holy One to appoint you to be the external consultant of the Xijing Government Office. From now on, you can participate in the cases of the Xijing Government Office openly."

External advisor?

Xu Jing was slightly startled.

Xiao Yi explained patiently: "It is not uncommon for government offices in various places to seek help from outsiders. There are also some government offices that regularly cooperate with certain outsiders. For example, many government offices use this method to cooperate with external personnel. Government cooperation.

However, they never had an official name, and were just spontaneous actions by various government agencies.

You... are a woman after all, and you have fully demonstrated your ability to investigate cases through this case in the Imperial College. Other yamen may not be willing to let you participate in their investigation work, but if the Holy One speaks out , allowing you to become the external consultant of the Xijing government office, you will have a legitimate reason to continue investigating the case. "

All small cases that occurred in Xijing were handled by the Xijing government office. Only some major cases or those involving officials and powerful people would be handed over to Dali Temple.

Xiao Yi paused and said: "Of course, if you do this, although you can continue to investigate the case, you will definitely attract a lot of eyes. Those eyes cannot be all good, and they will also be jealous and dissatisfied with you like Wang Qilang. Even people who set up obstacles for you secretly.

If you don't want to..."

"I am willing."

Xu Jing interrupted Xiao Yi's words with a calm but firm voice. She looked at the man in front of her and said with a raised corner of her mouth: "It should be said that I can feel Mr. Xiao's good intentions. You asked me to be the external official of the Xijing government office. The staff officer, not the one from Dali Temple, did not want me to show off my talents too quickly and be too jealous.

I used to worry that if I was too aggressive, I wouldn't be able to protect myself, but now..."

Xiao Yi's dark eyes clutched her tightly unconsciously, and his voice became a little deeper, "How are you now?"

Now that you are by my side, I suddenly feel that there is nothing to be afraid of.

In this case, Xu Jing felt inexplicably embarrassed to say it out loud, coughed slightly and said: "It's nothing, just do what Mr. Xiao said, please help Mr. Xiao to report it to the Holy Master.

Uncle, they are still waiting for me, I will go back first. "

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Xiao Yi's heart suddenly felt empty, and before he realized it, he had already grabbed the hand of the woman in front of him.
