I returned to Fang Mansion with the floor plan of Chang'an City. The sky was getting dim, and the orange sunset was scattered all over the sky, and the fire clouds set off the blue sky with a brilliant set.

The sky is not as beautiful as industrial pollution.

When I returned to Fang Mansion, the maid who saw the servant, said respectfully: "Young Master Lin!"

Especially the delicate maid, she is much more pleasing to the eye than the village women at the foot of the Taoist mountain.

Walking through the atrium, a group of guards surrounded the inner officials. Lu accompanied him with a smile on his face, as if he was sending them out of the house.

Lin Xiu gave up and asked them to go first, but the inner official paused and suddenly stopped.

"Madam Fang, who is this Taoist?" the middle-aged eunuch asked with a smile, his voice like a male duck twisting his throat.

Lu glanced at Lin Xiu, with a little aggrieved expression, but introduced: "Eunuch Gao, this is my master outside... Well... the children who have been separated for many years have only met today!"

"What?" Eunuch Gao was shocked, and he was shocked by a lack of fame and disgrace. Especially this was said by Mrs. Fang, the first jealous woman in Chang'an City.

Lin Xiu was also slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, Lu Shi would directly admit her life experience. This also changed Lin Xiu's attitude towards her.

Eunuch Gao realized that he was talking too much. He just felt that the young Taoist looked familiar and always felt familiar, so he asked more, but he didn't expect to poke a hornet's nest.

I hope that the good people in the house will have their own heavenly appearance!

Then, Eunuch Gao led his men to escape quickly and stayed away from this dragon and tiger den.

After seeing these people off, Lu's face turned pale and his eyes were swept around. Everyone was silent. Even Fang Yizhi, the eldest son, avoided his gaze.

Lin Xiu was not afraid and looked at her.

"I hate your mother and don't like you either, but I am the wife of Duke Liang! Humph..." Lu glared at Lin Xiu, then turned back to the house, and shouted: "Lock the door of the house, I see who dares to open the door to the house tonight!"

Who dares to open the door to someone with the surname Fang?

It seems that it is Fang Xuanling.

Tsk, Lu is really domineering!

When Lin Xiu sighed, Fang Yi noticed Lin Xiu's expression and comforted him: "Don't worry, my father will be fine. There is a place to rest in the Secretariat, and my father is used to it. My mother is straightforward, don't care."

Lin Xiu knew that he had misunderstood, and he didn't care about Fang Xuanling. Although he took good care of himself, he could not get rid of the fact that he abandoned his wife and children. Even though he could not find anyone in a mess, since Emperor Tang succeeded to the throne and the country was prosperous and the people were safe, how could he not find clues based on his identity and status?

I just don't want to find it.

However, Lin Xiu did not explain, but asked: "What are the people from the palace doing?"

"Your Majesty sees my father's hard work, and the rewards he has sent." Fang Yizhi was quite proud: "In today's court, there are not many officials who can receive holy grace like his father, and it is not as many as five fingers. When you first arrive in Chang'an City, you will know your father's influence in the future!"

Lin Xiu smiled, then returned to his house and entered the study.

After flattening the floor plan of Chang'an City, Lin Xiu stared at the picture and searched around, and finally found his own goal, Dali Temple Official Office.

Lin Xiu came to Chang'an City this time, in addition to recognizing his relatives, there were several major things to do.

After lunch, Lin Xiu returned to the house to rest early.

At the first three o'clock, drums sounded outside the mansion. Lin Xiu knew that it was the Jinwu beating the drum to show people, which meant that the curfew began. At this time, the gates of each yard were closed and travel was prohibited.

"Miscellaneous Notes of the Xidu" says: "There are people holding Jinwu's morning mailings on the streets of the forbidden city of Xidu to prohibit walking at night. However, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is called "letting go night."

After the curfew, street envoys patroled and inspected the night, and soldiers from various Wuhoushu also patrolmen and police monitored them.

It is a good time to be dark and windy tonight.

A black shadow escaped the guards of the Fang Mansion, left the mansion, and then ran around the street. He was very fast and his feet stepped on the ground without making any sound.

The closed door was like a void to him, and he flipped over directly, like a monkey. The inspector walked past the street without knowing that he was hiding beside the doorpost on one side.

The black shadow is Lin Xiu.

And his target is Dali Temple.

Based on Lin Xiu's memory, he came to Dali Temple with a familiarity, then observed the surroundings and ensured safety. He climbed over the wall and entered the interior of Dali Temple.

Lin Xiu didn't know the internal structure of Dali Temple, so he could only start searching from one place and search other places.

What he was looking for was the recording room of Dali Temple, which contained documents on all cases that were tried by Dali Temple.

But it didn't take long, Lin Xiu was in trouble.

Because there are guards in some important places.

The clothes of these guards were different from those of the imperial guards, similar to those of the street envoy. They had thunder patterns embroidered on their clothes and steel knives similar to those of the spring sword around their waists.

A bad person?

It seems yes.

The Tang Dynasty in this era is still different from the Tang Dynasty in previous lives. The bad person is to follow the orders of Dali Temple, responsible for arresting criminals.

Lin Xiu didn't want to provoke them yet, so she could only avoid them and look for other rooms.

Fortunately, the recording room that archives the official documents of previous cases is not an important room, and there is no bad person's hand. Lin Xiu quickly found it and pryed the door into it.

The room was pitch black, and Lin Xiu could only light the fire stick and searched inside with the faint fire light.

The huge room was filled with cases, and all the bookshelf were full.

Fortunately, the officials in Dali Temple are not stupid, and the cases are arranged in an orderly manner and are arranged according to the year.

Five years of Zhenguan…

The seventh year of Zhenguan…

The eleventh year of Zhenguan…

Lin Xiu stopped when he arrived in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan.

He began to search in this area, and the speed was significantly faster.

At this moment, memories of the past began to flash in Lin Xiu's mind.

...

"Xiu'er, your second master, I'm going to Chang'an City to do a big thing! After that, I'll come back and continue to teach you sword skills. If you can't come back, I'll cook a few pots of wine for me every Qingming Festival in the future!"

"Second Master, Master, he left the Taoist temple and didn't know where to go. Now you are leaving. According to your opinion, you have to worry about your life and life when you go to Chang'an! Since there is danger, why bother to go?"

"The Master said: A benevolent man will not seek survival to harm benevolence, but will kill him to achieve benevolence! Haha... I am going to fulfill your promise, your second master!"

"Second Master, what promise?"

"Don't ask more!"

"It's okay if you don't ask. Since you're leaving, drink more farewell wine!"

"good!"

"Second Master, drink more!"

"Himmer...good...good wine!"

"Second Master, why did you go to Chang'an for?"

"My righteous brother... died of plot against someone... only the orphan and widowed mother left... His name is Xue Zongdao... good wine..."

......

Memories flashed by, and Lin Xiu sighed lightly.

He traveled here at the age of fourteen and relied on each other with his two masters.

When he was sixteen years old, his second master Duan Tianya resolutely came to Chang'an City in order to avenge his righteous brother Xue Zongdao.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiu didn't wait for him to come back.

Every Qingming Festival, Lin Xiu did not worship him, just hoped that he would hold a dream at night, but unfortunately, there was no dream.

When I came to Chang'an today, Lin Xiu asked about Fang Xuanling and Xue Zongdao.

Unfortunately, when asked many people, I only knew that Xue Zongdao was once a doctor in the Ministry of War and later was sentenced to death for crimes. As for what the crime was, no one knew.

So Lin Xiu understood the determination of his second master Duan Tianya.

Those who frame Xue Zongdao must be powerful people in the court!

Therefore, Lin Xiu chose to visit Dali Temple at night, and there must be the beginning and end of the Xue Zongdao case here.
Chapter completed!
