Hearing this, Cheng Muyou raised his forehead, "The girl really misunderstood me, I was the only one who knew about this matter from beginning to end, and I definitely didn't tell my father." ” Yan Niang's eyebrows soothed, "Really?
” "How dare you deceive."
She exhaled, "Okay, I'll believe adults do." ” Seeing that Yan Niang didn't continue to ask, Cheng Muyou felt a little glad in his heart, if she got to the bottom of it, he really didn't know what to say, could he tell the truth that Cheng Dexuan was here to investigate whether she was suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family?
didn't think that she had just let go of her heart, but she suddenly mentioned Cheng Dexuan again, "Zhong Zhiqing died tragically, Zhong Min is missing, presumably Ling Zun is very sad now because of the adult's missed a good marriage." ” Cheng Muyou was shocked, "How did the girl know?"
” Yan Niang pouted at Xun'er Nunu, "Of course I listened to this kid." ” Cheng Muyou raised his forehead again and said, "He doesn't know where he heard it blindly, don't take it to heart."
Speaking of this, he changed his words and was eager to get rid of the matter from himself, "After Zhong Zhiqing's death, he found a secret letter from his home about his fornication with Liaoguo, and confirmed his crime of robbing the salt boat, but Zhong Min disappeared without a trace, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ” "My father died tragically, the house was searched, and the building overturned overnight, and it was expected that she ran away and fell, but," Yan Niang hesitated for a moment, and finally said the words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, "I heard that when Zhongfu was searched, a large amount of gold and silver was dug up from the ground, is this serious?"
” Cheng Muyou closed his head, "The girl's news is right, although Zhong Zhiqing is a second-grade member of the imperial court, even if he doesn't eat or drink for a lifetime, it is impossible to accumulate so much silver, so I suspect that he has long colluded with the Du brothers, and this robbery of the salt ship is by no means the first robbery he has committed."
In addition, he was pecked to death by Qu Ziniao's whole body, so I guessed that he Zhong Zhiqing might not be able to get out of it after that incident sixteen years ago.
Speaking of this, seeing that Yan Niang's expression was much more solemn, she stepped forward and said softly, "It's not a secret, Cheng Mou came to the girl today for this matter, did Xu Danian reveal anything to the girl that night?"
I also hope that the girl will tell the truth. ” Yan Niang lowered her eyes slightly, "My lord's guess is right, the case sixteen years ago was indeed committed by Zhong Zhiqing, the reason why I haven't said it is because all the evidence has disappeared with Zhong Zhiqing's tragic death, and if you insist on pursuing it, it will only affect others." ” Hearing this, Cheng Muyou was taken aback, "Miss Yan, how can you say this?"
Sixteen years ago, that incident had already involved innocent people, Yan Qingyang, the deputy head of the Xiang Army, who fled with his troops because of this case, and there has been no news until now."
Yan Niang looked at him and smiled miserably, "My lord, where was the first time you met Miss Jiang?"
” Cheng Muyou was confused by her sudden words, "Why did the girl suddenly mention pity?"
She was rescued by me from a deep mountain at the junction of Song and Liao, that place is called Nigu Mountain, when her father and other villagers died at the hands of Liao soldiers, and she was the only one left" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, his eyes looked at Yan Niang stunned, his eyes were full of surprise.
Yan Niang met his gaze, "Xu Danian said that Yan Qingyang led his troops to hide in the Nigu Mountain, and they were incognito, and they lived there for eight years, until they were found by the Liao soldiers sent by Zhong Zhiqing to exterminate the mouth, and they were all killed.
I think that due to the passage of time, Yan Qingyang and his subordinates have already changed their appearance, and a group of people have already changed in the Song army, so when you came to Nigu Mountain and saw their corpses, you didn't recognize that it was the person that the imperial court had been looking for for eight years. ” Hearing this, Cheng Muyou's face changed from surprise at the beginning to grief that slowly turned into grief in the liver and spleen, "It's a pity that Yan Qingyang's daughter?"
” Yan Niang nodded, "Xu Danian said that Yan Qingyang changed his name to Jiang Yucheng in order to avoid pursuit, so I think Miss Jiang is his daughter." ” When the words fell, seeing that Cheng Muyou didn't make a sound for a long time, just staring at the mottled shadow of a tree on the ground and not moving, Yan Niang took a step forward and said softly, "Although Miss Jiang has a rough life, she is open-minded by nature, every time I see her heartless and happy, my heart is always like a clear day, and I am happy with her."
Therefore, since there is no room for turning back in this matter, why not let it go and bury the truth forever, I think this is also the result that Yan Qingyang is willing to see. ” Oh, Cheng Muyou looked back slowly, Yan Niang saw that his eyes were full of deep pain, and there were indelible sorrow marks in the center of his eyebrows, he locked her gaze, and said word by word, "Miss Yan, this matter is considered the second secret between you and me, okay?"
” Yan Niang nodded deeply: Revenge is a heavy shackle that must be carried with life, Yu Xu Danian is like this, and she is the same, knowing the taste, she doesn't want Jiang to follow in her footsteps.
What's more, Jiang Xixi's enemy is no longer in this world, if she knows the truth, how should she face it?
Thinking of this, a slight smile overflowed on Yan Niang's lips, "My lord, I think Yan Qingyang should feel a little comforted when he sees his daughter being taken in by adults and growing into a heroic female catcher." ” This sentence was meant to be comforting, but Cheng Muyou was not relieved when he heard it, but became even more sad, he sighed lightly, "But I still couldn't protect her well, when I was in Yuquan Town, she was stabbed in the abdomen, her uterus was ruptured, and she couldn't have children in this life, how can I be worthy of Yan Qingyang's spirit in the sky." ” Yan Niang shook her head and smiled, "Blessings and woes, misfortunes and blessings."
Adults don't know that when Qu Ziniao took Zhong Zhiqing away that day, he bumped into Miss Jiang, if she didn't have a palace, I'm afraid the chick would have to use her belly to make a nest. ” Hearing this, Cheng Muyou felt a little comforted in his heart, he was about to say something more, but he saw Shi Jin running from the alley, came to his side, saluted lightly, and said, "My lord, Zhong Zhiqing's subordinates still have no news, these days, we have searched all over Xin'an City, and we have not found him." ” Cheng Muyou's face froze, and he lowered his voice and said, "This matter is very important, no matter what, we must find out the person."
Speaking of this, he thought for a while, then turned around and said goodbye to Yan Niang, and hurriedly followed Shi Jin towards Xin'an Mansion.
