Chapter 31
There was a movement in her throat, and she finally opened her red lips lightly and said, "Thank you..."

Before she could utter a word, Yan Zheng glanced sideways and choked her words, "I said before, if you say something that is unreasonable again, I will really get angry."

When he suppressed his smile, he was still a little scary, but Yan Wanwan obediently closed his mouth, and after a while he let out an "oh", lowered his head, and followed him silently.

Yan Zheng looked at the top of her drooping head, his eyes darkened slightly, and he reflected on whether his tone just now was a bit fierce?Scared her?

Coughed, this time, he slowed down his tone, "Can you tell me what's going on? Your appearance just now made me very worried. Could it be..."

"No." Yan Wanwan quickly shook her head when she realized it.

She just told him about going to Beijing to find her brother yesterday, and he must have misunderstood her reaction today.

Yan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, then..." When he looked at Yan Wanwan, his expression was hesitant again.

"Does my husband know the Xiangye next to me? She is from Xuzhou. I met her five years ago. She has no relatives, so we went together. She had a husband who was a childhood sweetheart, and she went to Beijing for the exam six years ago." , passed the Jinshi examination. Luckily, I was directly appointed as a Beijing official and filled the vacancy of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry. At that time, I wrote to Xuzhou and told Xiangye that someone would take her to Beijing soon."

"Unexpectedly, Xiangye waited and waited, but suddenly there was no news. In the end, he finally sent a letter, but it said that he had another marriage in Beijing, and he gave Xiangye money and a letter of divorce, and he wanted to return from the bridge. The bridge, the way back. Xiangye is cold on the surface, but he is the most stubborn in his bones. After packing up, he wants to go to Beijing to ask for clarification. Who knows, just after she left home, her house caught fire and saw someone Looking for her everywhere, she felt that her intuition was wrong, so she hid, but it also chilled her heart."

"Does she think that the fire at home and those who came looking for her were all arranged by her husband? Is it because she is worried that she won't get together and leave, so she just doesn't do both?" Yan Zheng understood Yan Wanwan's words. meaning.

Yan Wanwan hummed in a low voice, but didn't tell Yan Zheng, that's not the only thing that really chilled Xiangye.In fact, those people were not just looking for her, but were chasing and killing her all the way. If Yan Wanwan hadn't rescued her back then, Xiang Ye would have long since passed away in this world.

Walking before the life and death barrier, Xiang Ye decided that the man was beyond recognition, and gave up since then.In order to completely cut off the ties of the past, Xiangye used money to find a way to re-establish her status as a widow, which may not stand up to scrutiny, but fortunately no one will investigate, and all these years have been peaceful.

I thought it was all over, but the silver ring just now...

"Could the silver ring belong to Xiangye's husband?" Yan Zheng was very sensitive.

Yan Wanwan nodded solemnly, "It should be true. Xiangye told me that at that time, they were very poor in order to support her husband's education, and they didn't even have a decent token of love. I saw you once. Although she didn't say anything about the concentric pendant worn by others, she was a little envious after all. She thought she was noticed by the man, and later made the silver ring with her own hands. He had learned the craft in a silver shop before. Compared with the style of the same heart pendant, it is special and rough, and each half of the two holds each other's name, and I just looked at it, and there is a leaf on the silver ring."

Yan Wanwan even said with gestures, and Yan Zheng's face became serious. It is not easy to imitate such things, and there is no need to imitate them, "It seems that this thing is indeed Xiangye's husband. But you say, her husband is here Working in the Ministry of Industry?"

"Yes." Yan Wanwan nodded, "Wai Lang, member of the Ministry of Industry."

"Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, although his official position is small, he is also a serious official of the six ministries. If an official of the imperial court is killed secretly, it is impossible to be silent. But five or six years ago..." Yan Zheng thought for a while, calmly and affirmatively, "There is absolutely no such thing in Shangjing."

"So, I'm not sure." Yan Wanwan didn't even know whether she wanted it or not.

"Got it." Yan Zheng looked calm, "What's his name?"

"Hong Xuanzhi."

Yan Zheng nodded.

"There's one more thing." Yan Wanwan reached out and tugged on his sleeve, and hesitantly told him about Xiang Ye's forged household registration.

Yan Zheng's face remained unchanged, and he replied lightly, "Don't worry."

Seeing him like this, Yan Wanwan really felt relieved for some reason.

After that, there was no more words, all the way to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, Yan Zheng called a soldier, talked to him a few words, and then took Yan Wanwan directly into the back Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

Someone brought refreshments, Yan Zheng asked Yan Wanwan to sit in the living room and calm down, and he went out to inquire about the news.

It didn't take long, but when he came back, his face was serious, his gaze was fixed on Yan Wanwan, and he couldn't hide his sigh, "I'm afraid I want to invite Xiangye to visit the yamen."

Yan Wanwan suddenly jumped up from the chair.

Yan Zheng was actually very talkative in Jingzhao Mansion, because of his relationship, Xiang Ye was invited here and did not go to court for the time being, but went directly to the back office.

She must have heard the general idea from the soldier who summoned her, her face turned pale, and her expression was even more bewildered, until she heard Yan Wanwan calling her, she raised her eyes in a daze, and yelled at Yan Wanwan "Wanwan", she stepped forward quickly, and could not help but hold Yan Wanwan's hand tightly.

Yan Wanwan's expression remained unchanged, Yan Zheng looked at the back of her reddish hand from being pinched, but there was a frown between his brows, he took a step forward, lightly held Yan Wanwan's elbow and said, "Hurry up and go to the mortuary to identify the corpse." !"

Yan Wanwan and Xiang Ye looked at each other, both of them were not ordinary women in the boudoir, they both went through events, although their emotions were turned, they were able to calm down.

"I'll go and have a look first." Xiang Ye let go of Yan Wanwan.

"I'll go with you." Yan Wanwan wanted to accompany him righteously.

Yan Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say much, and followed the two women to the mortuary together.

Wu Zuo has already done a rough inspection, and Yan Zheng got the news that Hong Xuanzhi had disappeared five years ago, compared the age with the bones, and even the time can be matched, please Xiang Yelai is just the last one Just confirm.

There is only one skeleton left, and even the closest people may not be able to see anything.

Xiang Ye glanced at the bulge under the white cloth on the bed, his eyes were a little dazed, but his expression was quite calm.

Wu got the order, and stepped forward to ask, "What are the characteristics of your husband, or what kind of trauma did you suffer in the early years, can you tell from the bones?"

"Yes." Xiang Ye's face turned pale, and his expression and tone were calm, "He rolled down from the mountain once before. Not only did he break his left leg, but he also fell into a trap set by a hunter in the mountain and was caught by a steel needle. It went through the calf, and the doctor said that there was a hole in the leg bone."

After hearing what she said, Wu Zuo immediately turned around and ran to the corpse, uncovered the lower end of the white cloth, and looked at the leg bones...

"But this position?" Wu Zuo pointed to a certain part of the left leg bone that was obviously different from other places.
