Chapter 39

"It is very likely that the two palace people were instructed last night. Did they explain anything?"

Hearing the speech, Xiao Yiqi shook his head

"Before they were interrogated, the two men took advantage of the guard's inattention and committed suicide by crashing into the wall... But it is certain that there was someone behind last night's incident, but the relationship between the two men and them was very clean, leaving no clues at all. This case has fallen into a dead end. It was handed over to the Ministry of punishment and sponsored by King Yi this morning. "

The murderer on the Palace Banquet was the legitimate daughter of the third grade official of the current Dynasty. Her behavior was arrogant and bad.

If we do not find out the truth, not only the deceased will be uneasy, but also the Royal prestige will have a great negative impact.

Hearing Xiao Yiqi's words, Xia Jin is a little annoyed. If she didn't leave so soon last night, she might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to uncover the truth, and things won't turn into such a deadlock now, even involving her.

While she was thinking, Xiao Yiqi suddenly thought of something and said:

"This case is special. The Ministry of punishment should ask the Department of criminal justice to help. At that time, it should be useful to you, the place where the prison officials are promoted. You should be prepared."

"I will. Thank you for reminding me."

Xia Jin collected the mind, light a smile, clear and beautiful face has a few dignified.

Since we can't avoid it, we have to face the difficulties.

……

The next day, Xia Jin reports to Tixing department. Because of the baiyaopu, Zhao Yunwen, then Tixing officer, meets her in person.

They had a long talk. Zhao appreciated her and had high expectations for her. He even said that she was the most likely person to take over his position in the Department of criminal justice.

Xia Jin is already in the limelight, and Zhao Tixing's words directly push her into the limelight.

If he didn't make her feel very decent and rigid, she would even think that the punishment officer was going to kill her!

After coming out from Tixing Si, Xia Jin found a branch of Yongfeng bank and exchanged one hundred taels of silver with her.

After leaving the bank, she inquired and found a middleman who was full-time to connect the buyer with the seller.

Under his introduction, Xia Jin spent 65 liang of silver to rent a two bedroom farmyard in Xiujin street, three blocks away from tixingsi, for one year. She also hired someone to clean the yard and bought basic furniture to put it in place.

A simple home takes shape.

……

That night, Xia Jin said goodbye to Xiao Yiqi.

Xiao Yi thought about it, but didn't ask her to stay. When she was in trouble, she could come to king Qi's residence for help.

The next day, after having breakfast, Xia Jin and Hu Tianyue left the palace of king Qi and lived in Jinxiu street.

At noon, Xia Jin is cooking in the kitchen. She inadvertently raises her eyes, but through the kitchen window, she sees the handsome man coming in at the gate of the courtyard.

Xiao Yiyuan's deep vision swept quickly in the yard.

The courtyard has a simple structure. As soon as you enter the courtyard, the door is facing the main room. There are two bedrooms on each side of the main room.

In the middle of the courtyard door and the main room is a large open space, with the kitchen on the left and the firewood room on the right.

Xiao Yiyuan can't see the cottage behind the Chaifang, but he bumps into Xia Jin's sight through the small kitchen window.

Four eyes opposite, Xia Jin was that pair of deep not see the bottom, such as dark night starry sky deep charming black eyes sucked in.

She even forgot that she was cooking and looked at him until

A scorched smell passed through the nose.

Xia Jin suddenly regained her mind and looked down. The food in the pot was black and could not be eaten.

She was depressed, but the oil in the pot was sparking.

Xia Jin and Xiao Yiyuan look at each other in the confusion of the mind, unexpectedly disorderly will pot side basin of water to pour in.

"Boom..." a, the flame suddenly rose, covered Xia Jin's line of sight.

"Ah..."

With a cry of surprise, she staggered back a few steps. Her feet were unstable and she fell heavily on the ground. She showed her teeth in pain and couldn't get up for a long time.

All of a sudden, there is a shadow in front of her. Without looking up, Xia Jin knows that the culprit is the one who made such a fool of her.

But in this evil old society, this man's identity represents the irrefutable royal authority. She can't offend or even complain.

"Not hurt?"

Overhead, deep and thick hoarse voice sounded, clearly is concerned about the words, Xia Jin but heard a trace of cold and smile.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."

Who wants him to care?

Xia Jin grits her teeth, trying to make her voice sound calm and her face full of fake smiles.

Xiao Yiyuan saw what she thought in her heart, looked at her cat face again, hooked her lips slightly, and bent down to lift her up

"You move your foot to see if it's sprained?"

Xia Jin is not a person who doesn't know interest. She is surprised at the bottom of her heart and does as she says.

"Thank you, Wang Ye. Although it hurts, it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones... I don't know why Wang ye came to Xia Jin in person?"

"I heard that you are now serving as a judge of prison in the Department of criminal justice. I have a case in my hand that needs to be transferred to you. I'm here to tell you."

In fact, such a thing, he just need to send someone to mention the criminal division to inform Zhao Yunwen, and then he can arrange it, but he personally came to find Xia Jin.

Think of his two elder brothers to tell him that Xia Jin moved to live here, Xiao Yiyuan sword eyebrow slightly twist.

He felt vaguely that some things seemed to be developing in a direction beyond his control.

But this kind of feeling, he does not like!

Xiao Yiyuan's face sank slowly.

Xia Jin felt his change and thought that he didn't like her slow reaction. She immediately took her arm out of his hand and stepped back half a step. She looked like she was doing business. She bowed her head respectfully and clasped her fist

"I'll do my best to share the worries for the king."

"Well!"

Xiao Yiyuan answered with a nasal voice, turned to leave, but stood still when he was about to step out of the kitchen, so he turned his back to Xia Jin and said:

"Wash your face."

At the end of his speech, he walked away with great strides.

wash one 's face?

After a short period of doubt, Xia Jin understood.

She went to the well in the courtyard to draw a basin of water and looked at the painted face in the basin. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but draw. She slapped her forehead in chagrin. This was the most humiliating time that she had grown so big.

Because of the disturbance caused by this handsome man, Xia Jin is still very embarrassed when Lu Hua comes to Jinxiu lane to convey Xiao Yiyuan's order to go to the Ministry of punishment.

Yesterday, Xiao Yiyuan had told her that she was seconded to the Ministry of punishment.

Today is the first day for her to go to the Department of criminal justice, that is, to go to work. She planned to report first and then go to the Department of criminal justice.

However, Xiao Yiyuan sent people directly. She had to follow Lu Hua to the Ministry of punishment immediately.

The penalty department is five blocks away from Jinxiu lane, and it has to pass through the East Street, one of the four main streets in DIDU.

It was an hour later that they arrived at the Ministry of punishment.

After Lu Hua, he stepped into the majestic gate of the Ministry of punishment and walked through the cloister for a long time. Fang walked into a courtyard with a team of bodyguards at the gate.
