A shepherd boy from Lijiazhuang came out to herd cattle as usual that morning, and he also brought his own big yellow dog beside him.∮, on a river bank a few miles away from the village, the shepherd boy stopped to let the cows drink water.

The big yellow dog ran into the woods on the shore and stopped under a tree, barking. It lowered its head and sniffed the ground, and digged the ground with its claws.

The big yellow dog has a very sensitive nose. According to past experience, the shepherd boy thought that his old Huang had discovered another dead chicken and duck buried in the ground.

This kind of thing the villagers refuse to eat and have to bury, so they must be very sick. Lao Huang almost died once because of stealing this kind of thing.

The shepherd boy was busy and wanted to drive the big yellow dog away, but failed. The big yellow dog instead opened a pit of the soil under the tree.

The shepherd boy looked into the pit and was immediately frightened.

What was exposed in the pit was not a dead chicken or a dead duck, but a pale hand.

It's human hand.

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

A man's corpse was discovered like this. This man was strangled to death.

"The clothes were stripped naked and there was nothing on them. The coroner from the yamen went to the autopsy and said that they should have been robbed and killed." Xie Huaijin told Ji Xiaotang, "The list has been set, and no one has come to claim the body. It seems that they are not from here."

"Are you a merchant from afar? It's so pitiful to die outside like this." Ji Xiaoyun murmured.

Xie Huaijin nodded and said that it was really pitiful, but he looked at Ji Xiaotang.

"But it shouldn't be a merchant."

"How do you say this?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"The one who died was a blind man." Xie Huaijin said, and he was a natural blind man.

It is indeed rare to go out for business if you are blind.

"In this case, would it be a fortune teller? ∮," Ji Xiaotang said.

"Who will rob him of any fortune teller?" Ji Xiaoyun became a little more lively now and continued.

Ji Xiaotang nodded, Ji Xiaoyun said it well.

"A person who is blind is still eye-catching. Someone has seen him. Uncle Xie follows this clue and should be able to find out something." Ji Xiaotang said to Xie Huaijin.

"Did my father check it, but unfortunately, I still found nothing." Xie Huaijin shook his head. It seemed that no one had seen this blind man.

This blind man came from when and why he was killed.

"The geese pass by and leave a sound. If you look carefully, you can always find some clues." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Nothing." Xie Huaijin spread his hands.

This case is currently clueless.

"It turns out to be like this! Isn't this case a unsolved case?" Ji Xiaotang said, "Uncle Xie is just afraid of trouble."

Now that the imperial envoy is in Qingyuan County, there is such a unsolved case, County Magistrate Xie must have a bad look on his face.

Xie Huaijin nodded. When this case broke out, his father frowned for the past two days. In Xie Huaijin's memory, his father was always at ease as an official, and there were very few times like this.

They were talking in the pavilion when they heard footsteps and voices coming from behind the flower wall around the corner.

Someone came here.

It was Xie Zhixian’s voice, which seemed to be introducing the scenery in the garden to someone.

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

Ji Xiaotang looked up and saw Xie Huaijin's face, and she became a little clear. She looked at it and saw that it was empty everywhere. 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 doesn't understand the situation is Ji Xiaoyun.∏∈,

In a blink of an eye, County Magistrate Xie appeared around the corner.

County Magistrate Xie was with a tall man, and he bent his body slightly, looking extremely respectful. Behind the two, three or four people were following him.

At this time, County Magistrate Xie also saw someone in the pavilion. He seemed to have not expected Ji Xiaotang and others to be here, so he stopped.

"It was because of the negligence of the subordinates, and the subordinates were rude." County Magistrate Xie bowed to the tall man, and apologized.

County Magistrate Xie was about to fight the manager and asked Xie Huaijin to take Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun to avoid it.

"Is it the eldest son and daughter of the adult family? Since I met him, why not invite him to come and meet him?" The tall man had already seen the person in the pavilion, his eyes flashed slightly, and he spoke to Magistrate Xie inadvertently.

The man's voice was a little low, and he spoke a man's voice with a clear Beijing accent.

County Magistrate Xie just made a little hesitation and responded, and his attitude showed joy.

"It was Juzi Huaijin. I don't know what he came to the garden to do. He should have been in class at this time. The other two are two daughters of Master Ji's family in this county..."

County Magistrate Xie beat his confidant servant

When they arrived at the pavilion, they called Xie Huaijin, Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun.

Ji Xiaotang had already guessed that the person who came with Xie Magistrate must be the distinguished guest that Xie Huaijin mentioned. This distinguished guest covered up his whereabouts, and even Mrs. Xie and Xie Huaijin wanted to avoid it. Now he suddenly said he wanted to see them.

I think I met him on the spot, but I knew Xie Huaijin was here, but I just went there with love.

In this case, their sisters didn't have to go through. But the person who Uncle Xie beat him clearly said that he would let their sisters go over and see him.

It is actually not necessary to do so.

But Uncle Xie’s face is always difficult to reject.

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

"...You have come to see the little marquis." County Magistrate Xie asked Ji Xiaotang and the other three to salute the man, calling the little marquis.

Who is the little marquis?

Ji Xiaotang bent her knees and thought to herself.

The Ji family went from Mr. Ji to Mr. Ji Er. Although they had served as several officials, they were all outside the office. Ji Xiaotang had never been to the capital, but only occasionally heard Mr. Ji Er talk about personnel affairs in the court.

The man did not return the gift and said he would let them exempt him from the gift, but it was obviously a function word.

After giving the ceremony, Ji Xiaotang slowly stood up and looked at the man. The man was very young, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and looked pretty. Especially his eyes were brilliant, as if he could see directly in people's hearts.

Ji Xiaotang's heart moved. Why does this little marquis seem to look familiar?

This thought flashed in Ji Xiaotang's heart and she was left aside. She could not know this little marquis. If she knew each other, she would not forget it even if she had met her.

This is not because she never forgets her eyes, but because of the demeanor of this little marquis, which is really unforgettable.

Only those who have been in the upper hand for a long time and have a decisive decisive decisive decisive demeanor will have such a demeanor.

Which marquis in the court has such a young and outstanding young man in his family?

Ji Xiaotang couldn't imagine that the introduction of Xie Magistrate was so vague that she couldn't ask in person.

"...The young man is promising." The man said in his voice, saying that he was talking about Xie Huaijin.

"The dog son is naughty..." County Magistrate Xie hurriedly bowed and said he didn't dare.

The man's eyes then fell on Ji Xiaotang's sisters again.

Ji Xiaotang was calm, but Ji Xiaoyun nervously pinched the collar of her clothes with both hands.

"...Mr. Ji is extremely affectionate and filial, and he has reached the heavenly hearing. Now there are very few people who can keep filial piety according to ancient etiquette..."

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

"I really don't dare to take it. My father is grateful to my grandfather for his kindness and kindness and teaching. His kindness is as deep as the sea, and his uncle also takes love. My father wishes to be able to come out to fulfill his filial piety for his grandfather, so he adheres to the ancient etiquette... From then on, he guards his grandfather's grave, farms, and passes on his family, and does his best to fulfill his son's heart. It is really his duty to alarm the top of him, and his father is panicked."

Ji Xiaotang's words flashed a strange look on the man and Xie Zhixian's faces.

The two of them looked at Ji Xiaotang at the same time.

"Is this your own words, or your father's words?" the man asked at Ji Xiaotang.

"My father often talks about it, so remember." Ji Xiaotang replied.

The man didn't say anything for a long time, but his eyes were fixed on Ji Xiaotang.

"Mr. Ji's family has a good girl, which is not inferior to a man. In this place of Qingyuan, there is a hidden dragon." The man finally said, although his tone was faint, it was quite meaningful to Ji Xiaotang's ears.

Where did the saying of crouching tiger and hiding dragon come from!

"The little marquis is awarded, and the little marquis is awarded." County Magistrate Xie said hurriedly, bowing and bowing his head.

"Mr. Xie is too humble." The man's eyes slid over the face of Xie Magistrate, and then stopped on Ji Xiaotang for a moment. Then he slowly moved away, and walked towards Shaoyaopu next to him while moving his long legs.

"It's not too late, take your sisters back, so as not to worry your mother and your aunt." County Magistrate Xie hurriedly told 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 withdrew his gaze and said.

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

Master Ji Er, do you really don’t want to be an official anymore?
