don't show

For some reason, Lin Xiu always felt that Princess Minghe and Lingyin looked at him strangely today. When Lin Xiu looked at them, they would immediately look away, as if they had done something wrong.

After serving tea, Lin Xiu took them to visit their parents again.

Today's Lin Mansion is big enough. Lin Xiu originally wanted them to move in, but they didn't want to, saying that they didn't want to disturb their married life. Lin Xiu didn't know whether they didn't want to disturb or be disturbed, but I can go with them.

The Marquis of Ping'an still don't quite understand the matter of having two more daughter-in-laws. When only Lin Xiu was by their side, Zhou Yun took Lin Xiu's hand and asked, "Xiu'er, why does Your Majesty like to give you gifts so much?" What about marriage?"

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "That's right. Your Majesty is a bit, no, very lustful. He thinks that all the men in the world are as lustful as him. Didn't I become a blockbuster in the competition this time?" Well, this is his reward for me..."

Zhou Yun said: "How can there be such a reward?"

Lin Xiu explained: "Mom, you don't understand. This shows that my talent is good. If I have good talent, my bloodline is strong. Your Majesty may wish me to marry a few more wives to pass on this excellent bloodline." , to give birth to a few future strong men for Daxia..."

Zhou Yun said unexpectedly: "There is such a saying?"

Lin Xiu nodded and said, "This has been confirmed by people a long time ago, so don't be too surprised if His Majesty grants me a marriage in the future..."

Zhou Yun asked: "Then why does the princess live in our house, you won't..."

Lin Xiu hurriedly said: "This is not, this is not, the princess and I only have a pure friendship, she lives in our house and practices with me."

Zhou Yun stopped talking about the princess, and said to Lin Xiu: "You and Lingjun should take what we said last time to heart, you have been married for almost a year, why is there no movement at all, this time Not only are we urging, even His Majesty has begun to urge..."

Lin Xiu didn't expect to fall into the pit she dug.

After a long time, he left their residence exhausted.

He was even a little thankful that they didn't move in together, otherwise, he might encounter this kind of predicament every day, and even Zhao Lingjun would not be spared.

Lin Xiu herself could imagine that embarrassing scene.

Now he can still procrastinate on the grounds that the two of them are still young. After a few years, it will not be so easy to procrastinate.

Let's talk about the future, and now we should enjoy the happy life after marriage.

The next night, Lin Xiu went to Qin Wan's room and finished the ceremony with her that she hadn't finished yesterday. To be fair, the two went to Ning'er's room again and slept together until dawn.

On the third day, Lin Xiu stayed in Caiyi's room, played a few pieces with Caiyi's zither and flute, and then fell asleep hugging each other.

The life he lived these days was simply the life he dreamed of.

Cook with Wan'er in the morning, then experience the two worlds of ice and fire with Princess Lingyin Minghe, practice martial arts with Ning'er in the afternoon, and take the three girls to the garden to enjoy the moon in the evening. When the time comes, go to their rooms to rest in order.

Because the house is too big, he doesn't feel bored staying at home. If he is not summoned by the palace, he can stay out of the house for a month.

After breakfast in the morning, Zhu Jin ordered him to enter the palace. On the way, Lin Xiu asked, "Is your Majesty calling me for something?"

Zhu Jindao: "It's nothing serious, it's just that with your ability, you are still just a small head of the clean-up department, and you are a bit overqualified. His Majesty wants to give you a new official position. You should think about it first, and you can mention it to His Majesty later."

When Lin Xiu was brought into the imperial study by Zhu Jin, he found that there were still many people in the hall, including the crown prince and King Qi.

Emperor Xia only held a morning court every five days. Usually, if there were any important matters, he would discuss matters with his courtiers in the imperial study.

Lin Xiu did not go over, but waited at the door of the imperial study.

Soon, Lin Xiu realized that he came at the wrong time, because at this moment, everyone was talking about him.

An official behind the prince came out, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, in the past year, the title of Marquis of Ping'an has been promoted four times in a row, from the third-class uncle to the second-class marquis, which is unprecedented. You are too kind to the Lin family. Pet..."

Someone came out from behind King Qi and said: "Not only that, His Majesty also rewarded him with a royal garden, even for him to take a concubine, he personally decreed the marriage, and asked the Department of Rites to undertake it, even if he has some talents, your respect for him Favor is too much..."

Several officials came forward one after another, all accusing Emperor Xia of being too gracious to Lin Xiu.

It is not a good thing for the king to favor a courtier too much.

As courtiers, it is necessary for them to remind His Majesty that the emperor should enjoy both the rain and the dew, and favoring one person is a taboo for the emperor.

On weekdays, the princelings and the royal party of Qi, who fought for life and death in the court, unexpectedly took a rare unified position on this matter, and pointed their finger at Lin Xiu, who had been making a big splash in the royal capital recently.

This marriage with Fusang Tianjiao made him offend the two largest parties in the court at the same time.

However, before their discussion came to a conclusion, a figure hurried into the imperial study and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not good. Last night, another genius we recruited from Nanyue was assassinated in front of the inn." In the middle, the South Vietnamese mission was furious, and the court must give them an explanation..."

"What?" Emperor Xia stood up abruptly, and said with a sullen face, "First it was the Western Regions, then Beimang, and then Nanyue. Three people were stabbed in three days. Has the murderer been found?"

The official shook his head and said, "When he was discovered, he had been dead for a long time."

In the imperial study room, there was a sound of discussion.

At this time, no one was discussing Lin Xiu anymore, because the matter in front of him was more important.

In the past few days, young geniuses from other countries have been assassinated many times in Daxia. If only one incident happened, it could be regarded as a coincidence. However, within three days, three incidents occurred one after another, involving the three countries of the Western Regions, Beimang, and South Vietnam. However, these geniuses were once recruited by Daxia and rejected them...

During the process of Xiaobi, the Great Xia court also paid attention to the talents of other countries. If there were young talents who performed well, they would try to recruit them and cultivate them as seeds so that they could gain glory for Great Xia in the future.

Among them, some will agree, and some will refuse.

Now, those geniuses who refused Daxia's recruitment died one after another in the capital of Daxia. Whether it was the three countries or other countries, the first thing they suspected was that the Daxia court failed to recruit them, so they chose to kill them directly.

This suspicion is both reasonable and irrational.

What is reasonable is Daxia's motive for killing. What is unreasonable is that unless the Daxia court is crazy, they will assassinate geniuses from other countries in their own capital. Isn't this intentional to leave a handle for others?

Someone must be using this to blame the Great Xia court.

Who is setting the blame, everyone knows in their hearts.

But they had no evidence. In any case, the man was assassinated in Daxia, and the Daxia court had the responsibility to track down the murderer.

If they can't find out, Da Xia will have to take the blame for this.

But this scapegoat is not easy to bear. Once this matter is not handled properly, it will not only affect the reputation of Daxia among the mainland countries, but also affect the relationship between Daxia and these three countries. Xia's neighbors, although these three countries joined forces, they are not all enemies of Da Xia, but once they turn against them and allow some countries with ulterior motives to take advantage of it, Da Xia will be dragged into a difficult situation. quagmire...

Emperor Xia's face was very ugly. He hated things like being scapegoated for others.

More importantly, he smelled a bigger crisis from this little incident.

He looked at the prince and asked, "You have been investigating this case for the past two days, how is the investigation going?"

The prince immediately lowered his head and said, "I haven't found any clues yet."

Emperor Xia looked at King Qi again, and King Qi immediately bowed and said, "Give me a few more days, and I will definitely find out something..."

Emperor Xia didn't have any hope for these two sons, looked at the officials in the hall, and asked: "Who among you is willing to take on this important task and investigate this case for me?"

The people who were chattering just now fell silent instantly, and the entire hall was completely silent.

Not to mention that they are not good at investigating cases, this case is of great importance, and no one wants to get involved.

At this time, a voice came from behind the crowd: "I am willing to share your majesty's worries."

The officials all turned their heads and saw a figure.

They were no strangers to this person. During this period of time, he had made a big splash in the capital, and everyone knew Lin Xiu's name.

Before Emperor Xia had time to speak, Lin Xiu bowed to Emperor Xia and said, "Please wait here for a while, Your Majesty, I will return as soon as I go."

Chapter 260 Are You Worth It?

In the imperial study room, the Crown Prince and King Qi didn't take Lin Xiu seriously at all.

The Department of Unusual Techniques, the Department of Secret Investigations, the Department of Cleaning Officials, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice couldn't find any clues about the cases. If he could find out, he would return as soon as he went. Who did he think he was?

Emperor Xia had a glimmer of hope for Lin Xiu. He remembered that Lin Xiu had something to do in investigating cases, but it was only a glimmer, because these few cases were not vendettas. After they succeeded, the killer might have fled thousands of miles away.

At this time, an official stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there must be people with ulterior motives behind these cases, who are blaming my Great Xia court."

Everyone looked at him with contempt, nonsense, it wasn't someone setting the blame, could it be that Da Xia did it himself?

Who is responsible for this case, everyone knows well, what they want now is evidence, evidence

At this time, there was another noisy sound outside the imperial study room, and soon eunuchs came in to report that the envoys from the Western Regions, Nanyue, and Beimang were asking for an audience outside the palace.

Xia Huang suddenly felt a headache, rubbed the center of his brows, and said: Let them in

After walking out of the Imperial Study Room, Lin Xiu condensed a pair of ice wings directly behind her back, and flew to the Cleaning Department at the fastest speed.

In the past, Emperor Xia always wanted to prostitute him for nothing, but in all fairness, during this time, Lin Xiu owed him a lot of favors, and it was only right to help him.

In the Ministry of Officials, Liu Qingfeng was about to go out when a figure descended from the sky.

He froze for a moment, and then said pleasantly: "Master Lin, long time no see!"

Lin Xiu cut to the chase and said, "I'm here because of the assassination of that genius in Beimang. Have you ever investigated this case?"

Liu Qingfeng nodded and said: "I've checked it, but it's useless. The three cases in the last three days are all against my Daxia court. The people who assassinated them have nothing to do with them, and there is nowhere to investigate...

Lin Xiudao: Take me to the latest crime scene.

The scene where the genius in Beimang was assassinated was in an inn in Xicheng.

After the contest is over, some of the geniuses from other countries will return to China to continue their practice, and some will stay in Daxia for a while to deeply experience the prosperity of the Daxia King's Capital.

Lin Xiu came to this inn soon.

Aside from the identity of the genius of Beimang, this is an ordinary crime scene. The murderer entered through the window, and after the murder, he left through the window. Only a murder weapon was left at the scene, and there was nothing to prove the identity of the murderer.

The murder weapon was actually the genius of this small country's own saber, and the assassin killed him with his saber.

Because the incident had just happened, the scene remained as it was.

Liu Qingfeng was holding a little black dog in his hand, Lin Xiu waved to it, and said: "Xiao Hei, come here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black dog broke free from Liu Qingfeng, and ran to Lin Xiu's side in a hurry.

Liu Qingfeng was dumbfounded watching this scene. The dog he had raised for more than half a year was actually abducted by others with just one word.

However, it is not so strange that the other party is Master Lin.

Lin Xiu pointed to the hilt of the sword, and said to Xiao Hei: Smell it.

Immediately the dog ran over and sniffed vigorously at the hilt.

Then, it turned around in the room and called Lin Xiu twice.

There is indeed a different smell on the hilt, but it is only limited to the hilt. Inside the room, this smell has faded to the extreme, and it can't be smelled at all outside. It is almost impossible to track the murderer with it, unless someone A clear direction for the murderer to flee.

Lin Xiu came to the window and looked out the window.

In the yard of the inn, there is a locust tree with a nest on the top of the tree. A female bird is feeding three chicks. Lin Xiu closes her eyes, and the female bird in the nest suddenly stops feeding , a bright brilliance appeared in his eyes.

After awakening the animal language ability five times, Lin Xiu no longer knew what to call it.

In the past, he could only talk to them and drive them to do things.

Now, in an incomprehensible way, he can pin his consciousness on them, see their perspectives, and even view their memories.

The female bird's eyes rolled, and a picture flashed in Lin Xiu's mind.

The picture is very blurry, but it can still be seen vaguely. Last night, after leaving the room of the young genius in Beimang, a black figure disappeared in a certain direction.

Lin Xiu took Xiao Hei and flew in this direction.

On the street below, a stray dog ​​suddenly raised its head, and Lin Xiu saw from its memory that a black shadow ran past its eyes and disappeared into a certain street.

Lin Xiu walked into this alley, and in front of a house at the end of the alley, an orange cat glanced at him lazily, and met his gaze, and immediately became excited.

After a while, Lin Xiu crossed the high wall at the end of the alley and came to another street.

After walking along this street for a short distance, Xiao Hei in his arms suddenly let out a cry. It smelled a familiar smell, although it was very faint, but as long as it smelled it, it could follow the smell and find the source.

Lin Xiu put it down, and Xiao Hei walked forward while sniffing the ground, and finally came to an inn and stopped in front of a guest room.

Lin Xiu walked to the door and knocked on it.

The door opened quickly, and a young man was obviously taken aback when he saw Lin Xiu.

Then he said: Sorry, I was born in Beimang and grew up in Beimang. I can only play for Beimang and will not join Great Xia.

This young man Lin Xiu knew him. He was above Xiaobi, the ground seed from Beimang, and his final ranking was No.13, which is considered a very good ranking. If there is no accident, he will also be ranked in this big competition. famous.

Lin Xiu was very surprised. He searched for the murderer who assassinated the genius of Beimang, and found another genius of Beimang.

Judging from his size, he was undoubtedly the assassin from yesterday.

Lin Xiu looked at him and sighed, "I didn't expect it to be you."

The young man looked at Lin Xiu and said unexpectedly, "Didn't you come to recruit me on behalf of the Great Xia court?"

Lin Xiu asked: Why did you kill your people from Beimang and blame Da Xia?

Lin Xiu's voice fell, and the face of the young man in Beimang showed horror. He didn't know why, why Lin Xiu found him so quickly, why he was so sure, he just killed Zhao Yue people?

The genius of Beimang was assassinated, why did he suspect the people of Beimang?

Do people in Daxia know how to investigate cases?
