Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 273 Death of Fu Hui
After Yan Ciwan returned to Changhongju, he fell asleep quickly.

In a daze, she was awakened by a scream. After opening her eyes, she found herself in the bustling city of Chang'an!
She seemed to sense something in her heart and immediately lowered her head to look at herself. Sure enough, she was now in a translucent soul state.

She's having another attack of her soul-leaving syndrome.

There are shops lined up on both sides of the street, with signs with shop names fluttering in the wind. The road ahead is blocked by the crowd, and continuous exclamations can be heard from the crowd.

"This man is dead!"

"Oh my god, someone's dead. Go notify the nearby city defense station!"

"This man was hit by a horse and his head hit the ground and he died, right? Look, there's blood coming out of his mouth. How tragic!"

"Don't let those two mounted murderers get away. They killed this innocent man."

……

Yan Ciwan walked towards the crowd.

Because she is a soul, even if the crowd in front of her is packed tightly, she can still easily pass through the bodies of the onlookers and successfully enter the inner crowd.

At this moment, there was a dead body of a man lying on the ground. He looked to be about thirty years old. He was wearing a green lapel Hu suit commonly worn by noble men nowadays, and a black leather belt around his waist. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were wide open, and his expression was extremely terrified.

His body was covered in dust, and there was blood coming out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. His chest was no longer moving, and he was obviously dead.

Next to the corpse stood two young men, each leading a horse.

Perhaps because they sensed the ominous aura, the two horses were pedaling and swinging their tails restlessly, as if they wanted to leave here immediately.

When Yan Ciwan saw the two young men, her heart skipped a beat. They were Li Chengge and Du Lingzhou!

Both of them had very unhappy expressions. The onlookers blocked their retreat and did not allow them to leave the crime scene.

Soon, a team of Jinwu Guards rushed over after hearing the news.

When the leading team leader saw the deceased clearly, his face changed immediately. He immediately whispered something to his companions beside him. Because they were far away, Yan Ciwan could not hear the specific content.

A Jinwu Guard squeezed out of the crowd, jumped on his horse and left quickly.

The Jinwu Guards questioned the onlookers at the scene and learned the general story.

"Just now this young man suddenly ran out of the inn and bumped into the two young men on horseback. Unfortunately, he was knocked down and fell to the ground. The back of his head hit the ground hard and he was motionless on the spot. The people who bumped into him were those two!"

The Jinwu Guards looked in the direction the witness pointed and saw Li Chengge and Du Lingzhou standing nearby.

Du Lingzhou was the first to argue: "It was this guy who suddenly rushed out and scared us. Our horses were frightened and lost control and accidentally hit him. This can't be blamed entirely on us!"

Li Chengge remained silent, his eyes fixed on the corpse on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

With so many people testifying at the scene, the Jinwu Guards have determined that the deceased was hit to death by Du Lingzhou and Li Chengge on horseback, and they want to capture the two and take them away.

Du Lingzhou was not convinced and shouted, "Even if we hit him, it doesn't mean that he was killed by us. We were not riding fast just now, so we wouldn't have killed a grown man. You can't convict us based on a few words from others!"

At this time, Li Chengge also spoke up. He said, "We should let the coroner perform an autopsy on this man to find out why he died."

"We, the Jinwu Guards, have our own rules for handling cases. We don't need you to tell us what to do. Just shut up and follow us obediently, or else don't blame us for being rude." Du Lingzhou shouted, "I am the second son of the Du family in Dongdu, and my father is the Duke of the Protectorate! Dare you touch me?!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the Jinwu Guards' attitude did not change at all.

The leading team leader said: "No matter who your father is, if you kill someone in Chang'an City, you must be dealt with according to the law!"

Du Lingzhou was so angry that his face turned red, and he was about to draw his sword to fight the other party on the spot, but Li Chengge beside him stopped him.

"Don't be impulsive."

Du Lingzhou said bitterly: "Are we really going to suffer this loss in silence? That person clearly bumped into us on his own, maybe he was trying to blackmail us on purpose!"

"Probably not."

"How can you be sure it's not?"

Li Chengge glanced at the corpse on the ground with a complicated expression: "This man is Fu Hui, the son of General Zuo Xiaowei. With his family background, he doesn't need to risk his life to blackmail us."

Du Lingzhou was startled, and looked at the corpse with wide eyes. He asked in disbelief, "Is he really Fu Hui? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

A burst of hurried horse hoofbeats sounded from afar.

Yan Ciwan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged general riding a horse galloping towards him. The other people present also heard the sound and turned to look at the person coming. After the Jinwu Guards saw who the person was, they immediately urged the crowd onlookers to move aside.

Before the horse could stand firmly, the general jumped off and ran straight towards the corpse on the ground.

The Jinwu Guards saluted him with their arms crossed: "Your subordinates greet the general!"

The visitor was none other than Fu Zheng, the General of the Left Guard, who was in charge of the Left Jinwu Guard. He must have just heard the news and rushed over in a hurry. He was still wearing a military officer's robe and looked to be around fifty years old. There were some wrinkles at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, but due to years of martial arts training, his body remained strong and robust.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed and his face was extremely anxious. When he saw the face of the deceased clearly on the ground, his eyes slowly widened, and his body stayed in place, stunned for a long time before he suddenly pounced on it, picked up the deceased's head, and called out in a trembling voice with disbelief.

"Ah Hui, Ah Hui, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes and look at Aye. Aye only has you as his son. You can't let me send him off when he's young!"

As he spoke, he burst into tears, with tears rolling down his cheeks.

The onlookers present were moved by this scene and felt a little sad.

Fu Zheng's eyes were red, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Who killed my son?"

The captain of the Jinwu Guard repeated what the witness had just said. After listening to it, Fu Zheng was filled with grief and indignation. He stood up, drew his knife, and was about to kill the two murderers on the spot to avenge his son.

But the moment he saw Li Chengge, Fu Zheng suddenly stopped.

He asked as if he couldn't believe it: "Your Highness Prince Jin! How could it be you?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present, including Yan Ciwan, was shocked.

It turns out that Li Chengge’s real identity is King Jin!
Fu Zheng's hand holding the sword trembled slightly. He stared at Li Chengge for a long time, and it seemed that he was experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart. After a long time, he slowly sheathed the sword and said in a hoarse voice.

"Even if you are a noble, you must pay with your life for killing someone. I will seek justice for Ah Hui even if it costs me my life. Come, take these two murder suspects to the Dali Temple!"

"Yes."
