Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 160 Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished by death

Yan Ciwan's soul returned to his body.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the anxious Chaolu.

When Chaolu saw that she finally woke up, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah Ci, when I came to look for you just now, I saw that you were no longer breathing. I knew that you must have suffered another attack of the Soul Separation Syndrome. I immediately went to find Xiao Liulang for help. Thank God, you are finally safe!"

Yan Ciwan sat up and saw Xiao Wang sitting behind the desk.

Xiao Wang was also looking at her.

Their eyes met in the air, and they both noticed the subtle changes in each other's mood.

Yan Ciwan asked: "What time is it now?"

Xiao Wang took back his hands from the guqin, gently stroked the brocade bag hanging on his waist, and said, "It's just dawn, it should be the morning hour."

If I go now, I should still be in time, but it would be difficult to do it alone. Yan Ci Wan thought about it again and again, and finally spoke.

"I am planning to do something that is against the law but acceptable to me. I wonder if you can give me a hand?"

Chao Lu looked surprised, but she did not directly refuse or agree. Instead, she asked what it was first.

……

In Yufeng Hall, Si Buping had just gotten up when he heard the internal guards report that Sun Hu's body was found behind the warehouse.

Si Buping asked: "Since the body was found, why didn't you bring it back?"

Fu Bai said: "Sun Hu was dismembered and the body parts are scattered all over the ground. It will take time to piece them together. In addition, there are words left by the murderer at the scene."

"What word?"

"Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. Killing someone will be punished with death."

Si Buping narrowed his eyes slightly: "They dare to kill people right under our noses. It seems that they don't take our Inner Guard House seriously at all."

Then he stood up and planned to go to the scene to see for himself.

Fu Bai followed Si Buping and left Yufengtang.

Not long after they left, Uncle Shi and Aping came to Yufengtang carrying heavy food boxes. They were there to deliver breakfast.

Yuejin took the food box from them and was about to leave when Uncle Shi stopped him.

"You must have used up most of the charcoal here. We brought you a basket of charcoal. Shall we help you put it in the house now?"

Yuejin glanced at the basket beside them, which was full of charcoal.

The charcoal in Yufengtang was indeed running out, so Yuejin let the two in.

Yuejin carried a lunch box and gave a sesame pancake to each of the four suspects detained in Yufeng Hall. The four had not eaten last night and were already starving. After they got the pancakes, they couldn't wait to eat them.

Then Yuejin returned to the house and sat down with a brazier at his feet.

He was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he used a silver needle to test for poison first. After making sure there was no problem, he picked up the bowl and tasted the hot chicken soup.

It’s so comfortable to drink a mouthful of hot soup in such a cold day!
Yuejin was eating flatbreads with chicken soup, but his movements became slower and slower. He realized something was wrong, so he dropped his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and ran out, wanting to call for help.

However, the next moment the door was closed from the outside.

Yuejin wanted to kick the door, but he was dizzy and his limbs were weak, so he had no strength at all.

He was trapped in the house, his head became more and more dizzy, and finally he could no longer stand. He slid down to the ground against the door, closed his eyes and fainted.

After a while, the door was opened from the outside, and a man walked in and dragged the unconscious Yuejin out.

At this time, outside Yufeng Hall, Si Buping, who was supposed to have left, came back, followed by three inner guards.

Fu Bai whispered, "The chief is so good at collecting information, the accomplice lurking in the dark can't hold back any longer. If we go in now, we will definitely catch him red-handed!"

After learning that Sun Wu was dismembered, Si Buping guessed that Ling Niang must have an accomplice, otherwise it would be difficult for Ling Niang to do such a strenuous task as dismemberment with her strength alone.

The accomplice deliberately used Sun Wu's corpse to attract his attention, probably with the intention of luring the tiger away from the mountain and taking advantage of his absence to attack the four suspects. Si Buping took advantage of the situation and pretended to take the bait and leave Yufeng Hall, but in fact he went around and came back.

Looking at the tightly closed gate in front of him, Si Buping spoke slowly.

"Try to catch them alive."

"Yes!"

Fu Bai strode forward and slammed the door: "The Inner Guard is investigating the case. Anyone inside, come out immediately!"

Inside Yufeng Hall, the door of the guest room was opened, and Uncle Shi, covered in blood, walked out. In his hand, he was holding a bone-chopping knife that was still dripping with blood. Most of his face was covered with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of bloodshot eyes visible.

He heard shouting outside the yard and knew he couldn't escape.

But he was not panicked at all.

Anyway, from the beginning he never thought about leaving here alive.

Uncle Shi walked step by step into the snow.

Behind him was a series of shocking bloody footprints.

He looked up at the sky. The snow had stopped and a ray of sunlight shone through the clouds and fell on his face.

The temperature was still very low, but he didn't feel cold at all.

He even felt that the blood in his body was boiling and he was extremely excited!

The shouting outside the yard continued.

"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, we'll break down the door."

Everything was about to end. Uncle Shi picked up the boning knife and put the blade against his neck.

Just then, he saw a man climb over the wall and land in the courtyard.

That person was Yan Ciwan!
Seeing Uncle Shi's expression, she hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Don't be impulsive!"

Uncle Shi didn't expect her to appear at this time. He immediately turned the knife towards her to warn her not to get close to him.

Yan Ciwan raised his hands: "I have no ill intentions. I came here just to talk to you. Although Chu Wangshan and the others are dead, we still don't know who the mastermind behind them is. You should not want the mastermind to be at large, right?"

When Uncle Shi heard this, he was silent for a long time before he spoke, his voice very hoarse.

"The mastermind behind this is Xie Chen, he has been dead for a long time."

Yan Ciwan had heard the name Xie Chen from his father. Xie Chen was the head of the Xie family and had served as a general and prime minister. His sister was Concubine Xie, who had a son named Li Mingguang, who was later canonized as King Wucheng.

Xie Chen was once a high-ranking official, but later he joined forces with King Wucheng to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel. After his failure, he was executed.

And Prince Renxian happened to die in that rebellion.

Yan Ciwan guessed, "Xie Chen planned the assassination of Emperor Wen in order to pin the blame on Crown Prince Renxian and alienate the father-son relationship between the Crown Prince and Emperor Wen, thus paving the way for his nephew, King Wucheng."

Uncle Shi nodded to indicate that she guessed right.

The countdown to the white floating outside the hospital has begun.

"three--"

Yan Ci took a step forward at night.

Uncle Shi waved his bone-chopping knife and roared in a low voice: "Get out!"

Yan Ciwan stared into his eyes, and suddenly snatched the knife from his hand with lightning speed, and at the same time pulled off the mask on his face.

Uncle Shi screamed and immediately covered his face with his sleeves.

However, Yan Ci Wan had just seen his face. She threw the mask to the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Ling Niang, it's you!"
