Ministers made me a male queen

Tao Wuzuo took Jiao Yun to the place where the sedan chair had stopped for a while, and circled around. Except for a pear tree beside the road, there was nothing, bare, and the person who sent the relatives was not far away, it must be I didn't notice any other abnormality, otherwise I would have discovered it on the spot.

Tao Wuzuo had a headache and found nothing after walking around, so he could only continue to follow the sedan chair at that time, but they checked everything on the road at that time, and there was no trace of blood, which is really strange.

How did it work?

Jiao Yun just followed, with his head down, Tao Fuzuo thought he was tired, so he simply carried him on his back, "We'll be there after a short walk, don't worry."

Jiao Yun was lying there contemplating, especially looking at the narrow road ahead. It was absolutely impossible for so many people to send off their relatives, and the smell of blood was so strong that so many people didn't smell it, unless the bride was still alive at that time.

But since she was alive, the old lady left without making a sound, but chose to knock on the door with her fingers.

Unless...she doesn't want her voice to be heard?

Jiao Yun suddenly thought of something, and jumped up suddenly, he was still lying on Tao Wuzuo's shoulder, his movement startled Tao Wuzuo: "What's wrong?"

Jiao Yun climbed back again, "It's nothing, it's just uncomfortable lying on my stomach, I want to change my position."

Tao Yuzuo smiled helplessly, and then became worried after laughing. Seeing that he was approaching Lihua Village, he hadn't found any clues yet. Could it be that this trip was in vain again?

We can only ask the bearer who sent the relatives off at that time, maybe we can get other clues.

Jiao Yun was also worried about how to tell Tao Zuo what he knew.

But before that, he had to make sure of one thing, "Brother Tao, how strange, isn't the bride covered with a hijab? Since she can't see her face, is the car curtain really raised?"

"This, it was said by the sister's family at the time, but they couldn't remember whether they lifted the sedan chair, put down the sedan chair and the accompanying people left, because their backs were facing the sedan chair body, she only remembered that the sedan chair curtain moved when she turned around. , when the old lady leaves them and comes back, the car curtain will be lowered." Tao Yuzuo didn't think there was anything wrong with this, whether to open it or not didn't seem to be a big problem, but he didn't fool Jiao Yun just because he was a child, he answered very clearly.

After Jiao Yun heard the possibility that he had guessed, he thought about it, and deliberately sniffed here and there, "Wow, it smells so good, Brother Tao, are there many pear blossom trees in Pear Blossom Village? Look at it." It's about to open, and I can smell a little fragrance."

Tao Wuzuo also looked to both sides, indeed, it was about to open, and the flower buds had already been seen.

Jiao Yun lay on his back and continued to snap his fingers, "Pear blossom trees are the most fragrant, but blood stinks. Before, my finger was scratched by a stone, and only a little bit came out." Blood, it hurts, and the smell of blood is stinky, and my mother said it doesn't stink, but I feel it is all around, and I haven't smelled it for a long time, and I missed a few mouthfuls of food that day."

Tao Wu smiled, "Blood is not smelly, it has a smell. It smells like rust, which is not very pleasant, but you are close, otherwise you really can't smell it..."

Tao Wuzuo's smile froze suddenly, wait a minute, you can't smell a little blood, but at that time, Huang's body was covered with blood, and there were so many people in the team sending off the relatives. But it must not be ignored. If they didn't find out, it means that they definitely didn't smell blood, that is to say...the bride didn't die until she entered Lihua Village?

Tao Yuzuo felt his heart beating violently, at least the suspicion of the old woman was cleared.But wait, Lihua Village has no enmity with the deceased, and the chances of the villagers killing the deceased are slim, but why did the murderer wait for the sedan chair to enter the village before killing?

why?And how on earth did the murderer manage to kill the deceased in front of so many people?

At this moment, his shoulder was patted a few times by a small hand. Tao Yuzuo turned his head, thinking that Jiao Yun was tired, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Jiao Yun lay there without saying a word, and scratched again like a kitten, obviously admitting it.

Tao Wu smiled, he was still a child, so he was too tired to talk, it seems that he talked too much just now.

Tao Wu made such a smile, Jiao Yun simply rubbed his head on his shoulder, as if being coquettish and embarrassed.

It's just that he didn't speak all the time, and Tao Yuzuo didn't take it seriously, and lifted him up again to make him lie more comfortably, and then continued walking to see if there was anything he hadn't noticed before. Halfway through, he found the child He tapped him again with his little hand.

Tao Wuzuo thought he was hungry, so he peeled off a few crisp candies that Wanniang had prepared for Brother Yun before leaving, and handed one to him.

Sure enough, the child took it and ate it.

Tao Wuzuo heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to continue putting the rest of the candy back until the kid got greedy and continue to eat it for him, but he put it halfway, when his movements suddenly froze: it seems that Brother Yun has been too lazy to talk since the beginning, and has been just clapping Shoot him, but he understands what he means.

Because in this scenario, there is only this possibility.Because it is familiar, the child does not need to open his mouth to know it, but... what if he is not familiar with it?Then it’s okay to speak, or, if it’s very clear what it means to be silent in that particular situation at that time, then there’s no need to speak.

But why not make a sound?Unless, she doesn't want her voice to be heard.

Tao Wuzuo remembered that he didn't smell any blood before, so he stopped suddenly and almost jumped up excitedly. He knew what was wrong before, great!

Tao Wuzuo couldn't hold back and peeled another piece of candy for Jiao Yun, "Brother Yun, you are really my little lucky star!"

Fortunately, I brought Brother Yun here this time, otherwise, if the child was not tired quickly, he would not have thought of this key point that has been neglected!

Jiao Yun silently took the crispy candy and ate it in one bite, smiled without saying a word, and continued to pretend to be tired. It seems that Tao Wuzuo caught the point he reminded.

After all, if you figured out this key, the rest of the secrets would be invisible.

Tao Wuzuo thought through all this, cheered up, and quickened his pace. Since the deceased was not killed on the road, there was no need to delay here. He stopped at the entrance of Lihua Village and stood there without going in. He was waiting. Wait for another bride's sedan chair to come.

This time, the Wang family hired the same matchmaker to save trouble. Except for those who came with the bride's natal family, the bearers and matchmakers were all the same group.

Tao Yuzuo originally wanted to rewatch the scene where the bride was brought over. Before, he wanted to find clues, but now he wanted to find the murderer.

Jiao Yun lay on Tao Yuzuo's shoulders and pretended to be asleep. Tao Yuzuo already knew the key, but if something happened before he found out, even though Wanniang was worried after reading Tao Yuzuo's appointment paperwork, Jiao Lizheng might be the same this time. Come here, and naturally take him away from Tao Wuzuo when the time comes, but if he falls asleep, Jiao Lizheng won't be able to carry him away.

Sure enough, Jiao Li came here with the bride's sedan chair first, and went straight to Tao Yuzuo, smiling, "Mr. Tao, right? I'm the village official of Jiao's family. Brother Yun and his mother asked me to take the children back to the village. Don't bother Mr. Tao."

Tao Wuzuo didn't doubt Jiao Lizheng's identity. After all, the villages are next to each other, and everyone knows each other. He looked back at the sleeping child and couldn't bear it. It will take a while, let him sleep on his stomach like this first, and hand it over to Lizheng later when he is having a drink."

Jiao Li was hesitating for a while, but he saw the sleeping child lying on Tao Yuzuo's shoulder with his mouth slightly open and eyes tightly closed, "That's it, it's just hard work Mr. Tao, I have to go to Wang's house, then see you at the banquet .”

Not long after Tao Wuzuo saw off Jiao Lizheng, the sedan chair finally came over half an hour before the auspicious time. Tao Wuzuo immediately cheered up, and Jiao Yun also woke up slowly at this time.

Seeing Jiao Yunxing, Tao Wuzuo ignored him for the time being, put the crispy candy in his pocket into his hand, and waited for the sedan chair to approach with all his heart.

The first ones are two musicians and two gongs, followed by the matchmaker Mrs. Feng and the bride's natal family, followed by four bearers carrying the sedan chair, and behind them are the dowry bearers, who are coolies that can be found at any time. .

Because after a period of time, these dowry bearers were first excluded by Tao Fuzuo, because these people waited for the sedan chair to be carried to the gate of Wang's house, and would keep guarding the dowry for fear of being touched by others, and would not approach the sedan chair.

As for the four people playing and singing at the front, when the sedan chair arrives, they will be surrounded by children from the village. Mrs. Feng is a matchmaker, and she is responsible for calling the bridegroom official out. a maiden family.

This is the same as when Huang's accident happened before, the only difference is the two natal family members and the dowry bearers behind.

Jiao Yun lay on Tao Yuzuo's back, watching him carry the sedan chair all the way to Wang's house in Lihua Village.

Along the way, the lively children ran around without stopping, and there was no time to do it.

This means that the hands-on time can only be played and sung by the children watching the fun, while the guests follow the matchmaker to Wang's house to call the groom official to come out and kick the sedan chair door, because they want to watch the groom official all the time. In response, most people didn't pay attention to the bride who hadn't shown up yet.

At this time, the four bearers and two family members were guarding the sedan chair.

As for the dowry bearers, it was really tiring to carry them all the way, and many of them found an open space to sit down and watch over, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive.

Tao Yuzuo's eyes swept over the two family members and the four bearers. In such a short time, how did the murderer manage to avoid the sight of the other five people and kill Huang and blame Xu Wang?

Although the four bearers rubbed their shoulders, they did not leave. If they were killed with a knife, there would be blood splatters.

Although Tao Wuzuo could guess that one of the two natal family members did it, he didn't know how it was done. He couldn't find this point, and even if he knew it, he couldn't convict him.

If the other party denied it flatly, and after so long, the clues would have been broken long ago.

Jiao Yun tilted his head, his gaze swept over Tao Yuzuo's furrowed brows, he loosened his hands, struggled, slipped down from his back, and actively tugged at the corner of Tao Yuzuo's sleeve.

Tao Yuzuo patted his head, "Are you bored? Do you want to play with those friends?"

Jiao Yun shook his head: "Mother told me to follow Brother Tao, I won't go."

Tao Fu smiled, squatted down, and helped him straighten his wrinkled little clothes, and saw the child tilting his head, biting his fingers and staring curiously at the four bearers in the distance, his little brows were tightly frowned: "What's wrong? Why is your face so wrinkled?"

Jiao Yun pointed to one of the bearers with his little finger, "It's so strange, my mother said that the bearers are very tired and are all hard labor, but that uncle's boots are actually embroidered with gold. They are bright yellow, are they gold threads?"

Tao Wuzuo looked along, but laughed, "Where is the gold thread? It's just an ordinary yellow silk thread. It's just a look, it's not real..."

Tao Wuzuo just wanted to explain the difference between the precious gold thread and the ordinary thread, but he was stunned by what he thought of.

That’s right, the bearers and the dowry coolies do physical work, they can only eat their stomachs, and they have to walk a lot, waste shoes, a pair of poor-born shoes are not willing to throw away, so they prefer cheap cloth shoes.

The cheaper it is, the more directly it will be dusty, but after Brother Yun reminded just now, although the bearer's feet are dusty from a distance, they are inlaid with yellow thread, which is quite expensive and expensive several times.

Tao Wuzuo squinted his eyes, faintly feeling that he wanted to think about that point, but he was one step short.
