A shepherd boy in Lijiazhuang came out to herd cattle as usual that morning, and he also brought his own big yellow dog with him. On the bank of a river a few miles from the village, the shepherd boy stopped to give the cows a drink.

The big yellow dog ran into the woods on the shore and stopped under a tree and barked incessantly. It sniffed the ground with its head down and dug the ground with its paws.

The nose of the big yellow dog is very sensitive. According to his previous experience, the shepherd boy thought that his old Huang had found dead chickens and dead ducks buried in the ground.

If the villagers refuse to eat it and want to bury it, they must be very sick. Lao Huang almost died once because he ate this kind of thing.

The shepherd boy hurried over and tried to drive the big yellow dog away, but without success, the big yellow dog instead picked up a hole in the soil under the tree.

When the shepherd boy looked into the pit, he was frightened.

What emerged from the pit was not a dead chicken or a dead duck, but a miserable white hand.

It's a human hand.

The shepherd boy immediately ran back to the village and called the village Baojia and the villagers.

A man's body was found. This man was strangled to death.

"I was stripped of my clothes and I didn't have anything on me. The Yamen's prefect conducted an autopsy and said that he should have been robbed and killed. Xie Huaijin told Ji Xiaotang, "The list has been opened, and no one has come to claim the corpse, it seems that it is not from this vicinity." ”

"Is it a merchant from afar, it's so pitiful to die outside like this." Ji Xiaoyun muttered.

Xie Huaijin nodded, saying that it was indeed pitiful, but it was Ji Xiaotang who was looking at him.

"But it shouldn't be a merchant."

"What do you mean by that?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"The one who died was blind." Xie Huaijin said, and he was born blind.

It is indeed rare for blind people to come out to do business.

"In this case, it will not be a fortune teller." Ji Xiaotang said.

"What money can a fortune teller have, who will rob him." Ji Xiaoyun was also a little more lively, and continued.

Ji Xiaotang nodded, what Ji Xiaoyun said was good.

"A blind man is still eye-catching, and someone has always seen him. Uncle Xie should be able to find out something by following this clue. Ji Xiaotang said to Xie Huaijin.

"My father checked it, but unfortunately, he still didn't find anything." Xie Huaijin shook his head. No one seems to have ever seen this blind man.

The blind man did not know when or where he came from, and for what he was killed.

"The geese have left their voices and investigated carefully, and they can always find some clues." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Nothing." Xie Huaijin spread his hands.

The case is currently clueless.

"That's it! Isn't this case an unsolved case? Ji Xiaotang said, "Uncle Xie is only afraid of troubles." ”

Right now, there is a Qin Cha in Qingyuan County, and there is such an unsolved case, Xie Zhixian's face must not look good.

Xie Huaijin nodded. Out of this case, his father has been frowning for the past two days. In Xie Huaijin's memory, his father has always been an official, and there are very few times like this.

While they were talking in the pavilion, they heard footsteps and voices from behind the corner flower wall.

Somebody is coming this way.

It was Xie Zhixian's voice, which seemed to introduce the scenery in this garden to someone.

Ji Xiaotang heard it, and Xie Huaijin naturally wouldn't fail to hear it. Xie Huaijin immediately thought of something, and he subconsciously stood up.

Ji Xiaotang raised his eyes and saw Xie Huaijin's face, and he was a little clear. She looked around, it was empty, and she wanted to avoid it, but it was too late.

Since it's too late, there's no need to panic.

The only one who still doesn't understand the situation is Ji Xiaoyun.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Zhixian appeared around the corner.

Xie Zhixian was beside a tall man, he bowed slightly, looking extremely respectful. Behind the two, three or four others followed.

Xie Zhixian also saw someone in the pavilion at this time, and he didn't seem to expect Ji Xiaotang to be here, so he paused in a hurry.

"It's the negligence of the lower officials, and the lower officials are rude." Xie Zhixian bowed down and saluted the tall man, while pleading guilty.

Xie Zhixian was going to send the steward over and let Xie Huaijin take Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun to avoid.

"Is it the son and daughter of an adult's family? Now that we've met, why don't you come and see you? The tall man had also seen the people in the pavilion, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said to Xie Zhixian as if he was inadvertent.

The man's voice was slightly low, and he spoke in an official dialect with an obvious Beijing accent.

Xie Zhixian only hesitated slightly, and then responded, and his attitude revealed joy.

"It's the dog Huaijin. I don't know what he was doing in the garden, but he should still be in class at this hour. The other two are the two daughters of the Ji family's family in this county......"

Xie Zhixian sent his henchmen away

went to the pavilion and called Xie Huaijin, Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun over.

Ji Xiaotang had already guessed that the person who accompanied Xie Zhixian must be the distinguished guest Xie Huaijin said. This distinguished guest covered his whereabouts, and even Mrs. Xie and Xie Huaijin had to avoid it, and now he suddenly said that he wanted to see them.

I thought it was a face-to-face encounter, knowing that Xie Huaijin was here, but I didn't want to go.

In this case, the sisters could have avoided it. But the person sent by Uncle Xie made it clear and asked their sisters to come over to see each other.

It's not really necessary.

But Uncle Xie's face is always difficult to dismiss.

Ji Xiaotang gave Ji Xiaoyun a look, and came out of the pavilion surrounded by everyone, and soon arrived in front of the man.

“…… You've come to see the little marquis. Xie Zhixian asked Ji Xiaotang to salute the man, and called the man the little marquis

Little Hou Ye, who is it?

Ji Xiaotang bent his knees and was blessed, while thinking in his heart.

The Ji family has been from Mrs. Ji to Mr. Ji, although he has served several terms as an official, he has been an outsider. Ji Xiaotang has never been to the capital, but only occasionally heard Ji Er talk about the personnel in the court.

The man did not return the salute, saying that they should be exempted, but it was obviously a lie.

After saluting, Ji Xiaotang slowly got up and glanced at the man's face. This man is very young, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a dignified appearance, especially a pair of eyes that are shining, as if he can directly see people's hearts.

Ji Xiaotang's heart moved. This little marquis, how does it look like it...... Something familiar.

This thought flashed in Ji Xiaotang's heart, and she was put aside. There is no way she knows this little marquis. If she knew each other, even if she had only met once, she would not have forgotten it.

This is not because she never forgets it, but because of the bearing of this little marquis, which is really unforgettable.

Only those who have been in the top position for a long time and are decisive in killing will have such a bearing.

Which marquis in the middle of the court has such a young and outstanding son?

Ji Xiaotang couldn't think of it, Xie Zhixian's introduction was so vague, and it was not good for her to ask in person.

“…… The little boy is promising. The man's voice said, this is talking about Xie Huaijin.

"The dog is stubborn......" Xie Zhixian hurriedly bowed down and said he didn't dare.

The man's gaze fell on Sister Ji Xiaotang again.

Ji Xiaotang was calm, but Ji Xiaoyun was nervously pinching the placket with both hands.

“…… Master Ji is very affectionate and filial, and he has reached the heavens, and now it is really rare to be able to observe filial piety according to the ancient rites......"

Ji Xiaotang didn't want to speak, but hearing the man say this, she had to speak.

"Little Hou Ye's words, I really dare not take it. The father of the family is grateful for the kindness of his grandfather and the grace of teaching, the grace is as deep as the sea, and the uncle is in love, and the father is eager to come out to do filial piety for his grandfather, so he carries out the ancient rites. …… From then on, it is my duty to guard my grandfather's tomb, cultivate and read heirlooms, and fulfill the heart of a son. Alarmed above, my father panicked. ”

As soon as Ji Xiaotang spoke, a hint of discoloration flashed on the faces of both the man and Xie Zhixian.

The eyes of the two fell on Ji Xiaotang at the same time.

"Is this your own word, or is it your father's meaning?" The man looked at Ji Xiaotang and asked.

"My father often talked about it, so he remembered." Ji Xiaotang replied.

The man didn't speak for a long time, but his eyes were fixed on Ji Xiaotang's body.

"Master Ji's family has good women, not inferior to men. This Qingyuan place is actually Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The man finally said, although his tone was light, but in Ji Xiaotang's ears, it was quite meaningful.

How can Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon say!

"The little marquis has won the award, and the little marquis has won the award." Xie Zhixian hurriedly said, bowing his head.

"Master Xie is too modest." The man's gaze slid over Xie Zhixian's face, and then stopped on Ji Xiaotang for a moment, then slowly moved away, and walked towards the peony medicine garden next to him while opening his long legs.

"It's not early, take your sisters back, so that your mother and your aunt won't worry." Xie Zhixian hurriedly instructed Xie Huaijin and immediately followed.

"Xiaotang ......" Xie Huaijin looked at Ji Xiaotang.

"Brother Huaijin, let's go out." Ji Xiaotang glanced at the backs of the crowd, then retracted his gaze and said.

"Xiaotang, Uncle Ji, he really doesn't want to come back as an official?" While walking out, Xie Huaijin asked Ji Xiaotang in a low voice.

Second Master Ji, do you really not want to be an official anymore?
