eye-catching

The autumn exam is coming, and candidates from all over the world are preparing for the exam.

People in Chang'an City gradually forgot that the funeral of Prince Gong a few months ago had already come to the harvest season, and every household was busy with farm work. This year, there was no flood or drought in any part of the country, which can be called a blessed year.

The emperor was worried about one thing, and the attendant Lin Xie suddenly proposed to retire and return home.

The emperor's head is getting bigger, this Lin Xie is only in his 30s, and he actually told him to return home?Besides, the reasons made him unable to refute.

"The old officials are useless. The emperor doesn't need the company of the old officials when he is studying. The old officials are in their 30s but feel powerless. I am afraid that they will not be able to continue to serve the emperor."

Seeing his slumped face, looking like he was dying, the emperor's heart began to stir. Although Lin Xie was young, she had been by the late king's side since he ascended the throne. Moreover, the late king's death had also caused great harm to this servant Lin. No small blow.

The emperor thought about this issue day and night, thinking whether to let him go or keep him here.

As a result, Lin Xie couldn't leave early the next day.

Dali Temple submitted a case, which was said to be very complicated, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice was helpless.

After the prince left, no one could bear the title of "Da Liang Di Renjie", and this attendant Lin had been following the prince to solve the case. Naturally, all eyes were on Lin Xie.

Lin Xie was like a thorn in his back, he originally wanted to take advantage of Chaoli's peace and leave, but who would have thought that Dali Temple would hand over the case at this time, and now, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

The emperor looked at Lin Xie like a torch, afraid that he would kneel down on the spot and say that he was useless.

In the end, Lin Xie was acquainted, stepped forward and said, "I am willing to take over this case!"

As soon as Lin Shi said this, the Minister of Dali Temple was naturally relieved. If Lin Xie didn't accept the case, he didn't know who to hand over the case to.

The emperor nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "Okay!"

"Your Majesty, I have a request!" Lin Xie really wanted to say it.

"Tell me." The emperor faintly felt something was wrong.

"I request the emperor to allow me to resign after I have solved the case!"

The sonorous and powerful voice resounded across the ground, and all the officials suddenly felt that he was as imposing as a rainbow, very much like that King Gong.

The emperor sighed, sure enough, after staying together for a long time, they all became the same, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

As soon as Lin Xie came down to court, he was stopped by the Minister of Dali Temple.

"Master Lin, why bother to resign?"

Before the news was released, Dali Siqing came to the door. It seems that he must feel that it will be difficult after he leaves.

"I am old, and it is time to give way to young people."

Lin Xie replied with a smile, but she murmured in her heart, if Yuan Qi didn't live too close to Prince Gong's mansion and he couldn't get used to it, she wouldn't have to think about moving out.

The most important thing is that the man didn't realize it at all, and still squeezed tears in the direction of the palace every day, very much like Meng Jiangnu.

Dali Temple Minister was noncommittal, but said: "When will your lord come to Dali Temple, and I will tell you about the case?"

Lin Xie was blunt, and smiled: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, how about today?"

The Minister of Dali Temple happily took him to Dali Temple.

This case is not strange at all. A family in the east of the capital is marrying a daughter. The man went to greet the bride that day. The sedan chair went to the man's house to see that both of them were gone. After searching for a long time, they could not find anyone, so they reported the case.

The day of the big wedding is getting farther and farther away. The two families are in a hurry. They finally got engaged. On the way to meet the bride, both of them disappeared. They didn't stop, and the woman's family also watched the bride get into the sedan chair, and the woman's brother led her up, but when they went to the man's house, they were both gone.

The woman's family thought it was a little trick played by the man, but when they heard that even the groom was gone, they realized something was wrong.

Dali Temple sent someone to ask, but the person who carried the sedan chair didn't know what was going on. He obviously hadn't heard of it. It's not like these two people evaporated, didn't they disappear for no reason?

Lin Xie nodded after listening to the narration, and asked, "Did the person who carried the sedan chair notice anything unusual?"

Dali Siqing sighed and said, "They didn't find out what they said."

"Is it credible?" Lin Xie asked, "The words of the person who carried the sedan chair."

Dali Siqing shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."

Lin Xie nodded, it seemed that she had to ask herself.

Knowing this, I will go back.

Lin Xie complained, this case seems a bit tricky, since the sedan chair has not stopped, it must have been taken advantage of people not to notice, if someone kidnapped, then the technique is too sophisticated.

He was full of thoughts, and walked back to the mansion.

As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a scent. He frowned and found the kitchen.

"What are you cooking?"

Yuan Qi was taken aback, and calmed down before saying, "Red bean barley porridge."

As he said that, he turned around, lowered his eyebrows and said, "My lord loved red bean and barley porridge the most."

"Why?"

"Because the former king liked to drink red bean barley porridge."

Lin Xie was not surprised to hear this answer, he just nodded, turned and left.

Yuan Qi looked at his back, thoughtful.

A bowl of porridge was served in front of him, and Lin Xie stopped his fugue.

"I heard that you are resigning?"

Yuan Qi faded away the sadness on his face, but now he seemed a little impatient.

"how do you know?"

As soon as he said this, he immediately regretted it. Didn't he just call himself out?

He secretly slandered that the eunuchs and maidservants in the palace must have lost their mouths again. None of the major events in the palace escaped their ears. fast.

Yuan Qi tilted his head and said, "You really want to resign? Why?"

Lin Xie stood up and glared at him. At first, she thought that this person was just trying to trick her, thinking that he knew his intentions, but it turned out that this person didn't know at all!

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yuan Qi hurriedly said, "Don't you want to drink porridge?"

"I don't like to drink this porridge!"

Lin Xie was a little angry.

Yuan Qi didn't know why he was angry, so he just picked up the porridge and drank it by himself.

Since he doesn't like to drink, he can drink it himself.

The next day, Lin Xie got up early in the morning and followed Yuan Qi's instructions in advance.

"I'm going to investigate the case today, and I may come back later."

"it is good."

Yuan Qi drank porridge and watched him go out, suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

The two families are actually not far apart, only two miles away, and the sedan chair is not slow, and you can reach the man's house in two minutes, because the wedding is at dusk, and few people saw the sedan chair passing by on the road, so It is also possible that this is the right time.

Lin Xie first went to the woman's house. When the old woman saw Lin Xie, she wiped her tears and cried, "Although Xiang'er is not beautiful, she is a girl who has just become a monk. How could this happen to her... "

It can be seen that the family did not regard their daughter as contemptible, but rather reluctant.

Lin Xie helped the old woman up, and asked, "Did your elder brother help you up that day?"

A man stood up, nodded and said, "It was indeed I who helped me up."

"Is she the one who helped you?"

The man said: "Indeed, it can't be wrong."

Lin Xie nodded and asked, "Then, did she behave abnormally before getting into the sedan chair?"

The man shook his head and said: "Xiang'er is happy, she got on the sedan chair and told me to leave."

"How did you say it? Did you say it in the sedan chair or stick out your head?"

"Of course I yelled in the sedan chair, she still has a red hijab on her head!"

Lin Xie nodded and said, "You've been watching the sedan chair go?"

The man nodded.

Lin Xie understood, it seems that there should be no problem on the bride's side, so, next, he went to the groom's side.

This place is different from the woman's family. The groom is the only child of their family. It is conceivable that the loss of their son will be a big blow to them, and he disappeared during such a happy event as the wedding. Done.

Mother couldn't see anyone, so father naturally saw Lin Xie.

Seeing Lin Xie, the elderly man hurriedly pulled him and said, "My lord, you must find my son back! Otherwise, his mother will not live!"

Lin Xie nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

Although he said so, in fact Lin Xie has no confidence to solve the case at all. He has been following the prince to solve the case before. The prince is smart, but he is not as smart as him. At this time, he can only rely on what he has learned from the prince all the year round. Something to try out.

Asking about all the circumstances is a necessary means for the prince to understand the case. No matter how you ask, you must ask something useful.

Lin Xie was well aware of this, so she asked, "Is there anything wrong with your son before he went to meet the bride?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I didn't see it, he was happy."

Lin Xie nodded and said, "Then, when did you find out that the two of you disappeared? Who found out?"

The servant next to him stepped forward and said: "When we got to the door, the person who carried the sedan chair was waiting for the two to come down, but he didn't come down for a long time. I went up to look, and the person disappeared."

Lin Xie stared at the servant, nodded after confirming that there was nothing unusual, and said, "Who are those carrying the sedan chair?"

The old man hurriedly waved him to call for someone to come.

After a while, four people came forward.

"My lord, these four people have been doing errands in the mansion since they were young, so there should be no problem."

Lin Xie only asked, "Did you not feel the loss of two people?"

One said: "Because the four younger ones haven't stopped, naturally they don't know."

Lin Xie looked sternly, and asked, "Can't you feel the loss of the weight of two people?"
