Ministers made me a male queen

The yamen servant nodded: "My lord, this is the Xu Dalang's mother-in-law Xu Wang who had almost been engaged to the deceased in the previous murder case and who has disappeared now."

The old woman was probably frightened, and knelt down tremblingly.

When I knelt down, I lay there completely, my hands and feet trembling involuntarily, I don't know whether it was because of fright or the original reason.

She was kneeling right in front of Jiao Yun. From Jiao Yun's angle, she could see her entire body. Not only her hands, but also her feet were trembling. A pair of small feet trembled lightly, as if she was frightened.

Because Xu Wang's legs didn't shake, especially her calves, when people were frightened, her whole body would shake because of a physiological reaction, which meant that she was not afraid, but her hands and feet were shaking, which was a disease.

While Jiao Yun was watching this scene intently, the master came back and handed over the recorded documents, confirming that they were correct, Master Hou asked Jiao Wanniang and the others to leave first.

Jiao Wanniang and the others were afraid when they saw the official, they didn't dare to stay longer, they saluted and hurried out.

Mrs. Qian Sun ran very fast with her little feet, and she was waiting for the money with 150 taels... Oh yes, Li Youcai.

Li Youcai opened his mouth to call someone, but found that his mother had disappeared.

He stood there in a daze, bewildered.

Mrs. Li didn't have her feet bound, and she took a big step. She glanced at her with displeasure: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you leave?"

Li Youcai shrank his neck, and quickly lowered his head to follow. After walking a few steps, he still couldn't help looking back at Jiao Wanniang.

Jiao Wanniang didn't even look at him, she didn't want to be with them, so she walked slowly.

Li Youcai quickly looked away and trotted to keep up.

Because Jiao Wanniang deliberately staggered and walked slowly, Jiao Yun was picked up by her and lay on her shoulders, just in time to hear the servant's words, "...My lord, after investigation, Xu Wang happened to be in the village where the incident happened and had contact with the deceased. , not long after she left, the bride died after the sedan chair arrived. As for the suspect, her son Xu Dalang disappeared not long ago, and Xu Dalang and the deceased’s childhood sweetheart had entrusted a matchmaker in advance, but the Huang family refused. Before the deceased died, Xu Dalang Mrs. Wang once came to the county government office to sue the Huang family for murdering her son, but the matter was dismissed due to insufficient evidence. Xu Dalang's whereabouts are still unknown. Ten days ago, she bought a kitchen knife from a blacksmith, the day before the deceased died. Tao Wu conducted an autopsy and found that the deceased was killed by a sharp weapon, most likely a kitchen knife."

Lord Hou frowned, "That is to say, you only found this one suspect in so many days?"

Yamen servant: "Returning to my lord, from the time of committing the crime, the motive of the crime, and the contact before committing the crime, Xu Wang's is indeed in line with the crime. She may be out of anger, thinking that Huang's life and death are unknown because of her son's death. She took a kitchen knife to kill Huang's It is also possible to be killed in a sedan chair with a single knife."

Jiao Yun was lying there listening quietly, but suddenly his body froze and he was killed with a knife?This old lady?

No matter how you look at it, it is suspicious, but the premise is that the old lady's hands and feet are fine. If her hands and feet were already like this before the incident, then she would shake a spoon in this state, how could she be able to hold a kitchen knife?

What's more, it's still a one-shot killing. Is it really the same as killing a chicken?

Jiao Yun really wanted to continue listening, but Jiao Wanniang carried him to the outside of the county government office, and then the gate of the county government office was closed, and nothing could be seen or heard.

He frowned, looked at the stone lion at the gate of the yamen, and suddenly remembered something.

Died in the sedan chair, which reminded him of the murder case of the bride who died in the sedan chair in the next village. At that time, the next village got married and lifted the sedan chair curtain, but it was a dead body that died terribly.

When Jiao Yun was in the second year of junior high school, he met two government servants. Could it be that eight or nine days have passed and the murderer has not been found yet?

Jiao Yun was aroused by the appearance of the old woman just now, and knelt there with lowered eyes, without saying a word, obviously no love in life.

Jiao Yun wanted to know the result, but he couldn't speak directly. He turned his head and saw the sugar seller. He simply touched Wanniang's shoulder and whispered: "Mother..." He imitated Xiaoyuan's body and said softly, " I want to go down by myself."

Wanniang persuaded the child a few times to see how stubborn she was, so she could only let it go, but when she led her away, she found that the child was walking very slowly, and turned her head to look at the sugar figure.

Wanniang understood, and could only look at Jiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law apologetically: "Auntie, this child wants to eat sugar, why don't you go back first and delay you for so long, and I will go to Jiao's house to see you later."

She divorced her husband and divorced, and was going to visit Jiao Lizheng's house, and thanks to the two of them today, she needed to buy some generous gifts to bring there.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jiao family naturally had no objection, and even said a few words of comfort to Wanniang before leaving in a hurry.

After they left, Wanniang took Jiao Yun's little hand to the sugar vendor and asked Jiao Yun to choose one.

Jiao Yun chose the most complicated one.

While waiting for the sugar figurine, Jiao Yun kept his eyes on the yamen gate in the back. When the sugar figurine was halfway through, the gate of the yamen opened again, and a young man who looked like a 27-year-old scholar hurried out with a box on his back, with a sullen expression on his face. His lips were full of anger, as if he had just had an argument with someone.

A yamen servant chased him out, "Mr. Tao! Mr. Tao, slow down...why are you so angry?! Your lord didn't say anything, you just put him in custody temporarily, and release him when we find new suspects or evidence!" and other consciousness Realizing what he said, he quickly shut up and persuaded in a low voice.

The scholar waved him away, "What for a while? He just suspected that he had something to do with the missing Xu Dalang and wanted to use his mother to lure Xu Dalang to appear. Killing with one knife, the knife edge is sharp, it is definitely done by the strength of a grown man, the old woman trembling hands and feet, trembling and needing help when walking, how can she kill people? Even if Xu Dalang is suspected, people in the government can't do it casually This kind of thing! I still think that Xu Dalang is dead, and the Huang family is suspicious! I want to check again, don't stop me!"

"Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao!" The man yelled several times, but the young man ignored him and left with the suitcase on his back.

The man had no choice but to rush back to the Yamen to report.

Jiao Yun looked at the back of the young man thoughtfully. This is the street, and the two of them discussed openly, either because they lost their heads, or...it was on purpose.

Jiao Yun was more inclined to the latter. The other party could see that Xu Wang's legs and feet were sick, so he was obviously a subtle observer. After all, he was close at the time, but the other party could see it in such a short time, and he blatantly said it on the street. Doubt the Huang family.

Jiao Yun found that there were already traders whispering curiously around, and they mentioned Huang's family, which was the deceased's natal family.

Most of them thought it was impossible, and Mr. Tao just said it casually in a fit of anger.

Jiao Yun raised his head curiously, and opened his eyes blankly, "Uncle, that brother is so fierce, who is he?"

He asked the uncle selling calligraphy and painting to look around before he saw the little carrot head below, and couldn't help laughing, "You mean that Mr. Tao? Why do children ask this?"

Jiao Yun pursed his lips and smiled, "Brother is good-looking, but he is fierce. I wonder why he is so angry?"

The uncle did not continue to ask, "That is our Changyang County's assistant, very good. We are the only one in Changyang County. He is usually too busy to touch the ground, and he is very responsible."

Jiao Yun thanked him, and quickly turned his attention to the sugar man. The uncle smiled and shook his head, almost whispering to the person next to him.

Jiao Yun took the candy figurine from Wanniang, and after paying the money, he led Jiao Yun to the side. When passing by the pastry shop, he thought about buying some as a present, and bought half a catty of crisp candy for Jiao Yun. He didn't stop him, he gave Wanniang 12 taels before, if he didn't buy it, Wanniang wouldn't be able to eat it either.

There are many ways to make money in the future, just the inexhaustible things in his space can make money, but before thinking about how to get them out, he will do this for the time being.

When Wanniang finished shopping, because the things were not heavy, she originally wanted to save money and walk back, but looking at Jiao Yun, she rented a bullock cart and rushed all the way back to Songjun Village.

Jiao Yun was hugged by Wanniang and got into the oxcart. He held the candy figurine and looked at it but didn't eat it.

Wanniang peeled a piece of crisp candy for him, Jiao Yun took it, but stuffed it into Wanniang's mouth at once, smiling, "Mum will eat too."

The piece that Jiao Da gave before was meant to be eaten by Wanniang, but later it was given to the little wolf cub, and this piece was made up for.

Wanniang was reluctant, but she had already eaten, and she couldn't do anything else to spit it out, so she could only pat Jiao Yun's red head and said nothing, and peeled off another piece for him.

This time Jiao Yun ate, but when he was halfway there, Jiao Yun saw the young man who was one step faster than them walking in front of him, staggering.

When the ox cart passed by, the old man who drove it also took a look. As a result, just after passing by, the pottery fell to the ground, holding the box in his hand tightly when he fell.

"Mother, that brother fainted!" He made too much noise, and Wanniang also saw it, but she was frightened, and when Jiao Yun yelled at him, she regained consciousness and told the old man to stop.

The old man looked back and was also frightened, so he quickly stopped the bullock cart and trot over to have a look, good guy, why did this young man faint?

Jiao Yun jumped out of the car with Wanniang, still holding the sugar figurine in his hand, Wanniang was inconvenient to approach, Jiao Yun ran over on his short legs, and squatted there to watch the old man pinch Tao Wu as a human being, " What happened to this brother?"

Grandpa, "Looks like he's fainted from hunger."

"Eh?" Jiao Yun fixed his eyes on Tao Yuzuo's pale face, his lips were bloodless, and he might really faint from hunger.

He thought for a while, and ran back to ask Wanniang for two pieces of candy.

It is important to save lives, Wan Niang took it out without thinking, and moved closer, "Master, is this gentleman alright?"

The old man looked at Wanniang and Jiao Yun more when he saw Su Tang, because he was willing to give up such a rare thing to the kind mother and child, and he was afraid that something would happen to the young man, so he quickly fed them both.

Just happened to pinch Tao Wuzuo, who woke up but had no strength. Now I feel like I’m devouring my food. I probably gained some strength after eating two yuan. I slowly opened my eyes, and I was shaken by everything in front of me. He happened to see Wanniang who was two steps away from this angle, "I am... what's wrong?"

Seeing him wake up, the old man heaved a sigh of relief, "Young man, you fainted from hunger! Fortunately, the young lady kindly gave you two pieces of crispy candies, you should thank them very much!"

"Hungry and dizzy..." Tao Wuzuo thought that he was really busy and forgot to eat, because he was anxious to find the missing Xu Dalang who hadn't eaten today, and wanted to get up gratefully to thank him, but found that he couldn't get up for a while.

Jiao Yun handed over the sugar figurine, "Brother, do you still eat? I still have sugar figurines here."

Tao Wu turned his head to see Jiao Yun, touched his head gratefully, and thanked Wanniang and the old man. Wanniang had already stepped aside since he woke up, and turned her body so that she didn't look at each other.

The old man helped Tao Yuzuo up, healed after a while, and let them go first, the old man looked at the customer, but he didn't speak.

Jiao Yun was afraid that Tao Wuzuo would not be able to return to the village, and he also wanted to know something from Tao Wuzuo, "Mother, can we take this big brother for a ride?"

Wanniang hesitated, thought for a while and looked at the old man.

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "If my lady doesn't care, I can let him sit next to me and carry one more person."

Wanniang smiled, "Then let's give him a ride." There was no one around at the moment, and if something happened to him when he fainted, she would feel guilty.

Not long after, the ox cart set off again. Tao Yu took the initiative to reveal his identity as a way of showing his harmless gratitude. Wanniang was surprised when she heard that he was a bullock, but she didn't speak to him.

On the contrary, the old man and Jiao Yun talked a lot, especially the old man, who obviously couldn't keep his mouth shut, so he almost asked about the eighteen generations of Tao Fuzuo's ancestors. Jiao Yun also knew that this Tao Fu writer was not here, but out of town. , because I had trouble with my family, I came here to work as an assistant.

His grandfather also worked here as a gangster before, and this time he wanted to go to Lihua Village, next to Songjun Village, for the purpose of having a banquet.

Jiao Yun was taken aback: Aren't you going to investigate the case?Is it because you are afraid that you will leak your mouth and hide it?

The old man was stunned when he heard about Lihua Village, "But the Lihua Village where a murder case happened some time ago? Who is going to hold a wedding here? Are you not afraid of bad luck?"
