At this moment, a squad of constables burst into the tavern.
Upon seeing the corpse on the ground, they swiftly drew their swords, pointing them at Feng Fuce.
"Who dares commit such a crime in broad daylight on the street!"
Feng Fuce’s previously softened gaze turned cold and sharp once more.
He stood up, gently pushing Bai Zhi’er behind him to shield her.
Facing the aggressive constables, Feng Fuce leisurely took out his waist badge.
The vigorous and unyielding characters "Marquis Wan" were prominently displayed on the badge.
The constables were stunned; they rubbed their eyes and took a closer look.
Then they recalled that the current commander of the Brocade Armor Shura Guard, Marquis Wan, was indeed around eight or nine years old!
In the next moment, the constables simultaneously dropped their swords and knelt orderly on the ground.
"We insignificant people failed to recognize Mount Tai, unaware of the Marquis’s presence, we pay respect to the Marquis!"
Each constable lamented bitterly in their hearts.
Usually, when the Xiuluo Guard handles matters, aren’t they always accompanied by a large group?
Why today, was it just Marquis Wan alone?
He even had the leisure to dine in the tavern.
The Evil Star is indeed the Evil Star, even having a meal, he casually killed someone!
Thinking of this, the lead arrest officer trembled.
"Marquis, we received a report, stating someone is committing murder here indiscriminately..."
Feng Fuce responded calmly, "I am the one who killed."
He didn’t even bother to explain, his openness left the constables momentarily at a loss for words.
The constable scratched his head in frustration.
On the way here, he had learned that the deceased was the brother-in-law of Minister Meng, the Minister of War!
The Ministry of War must not be offended, yet it was Marquis Wan who acted!
At this point, the nearby Xiuluo Envoys, upon hearing about the incident, hurriedly arrived!
"Forgive us, Marquis, we arrived late!"
Feng Fuce nodded, his gaze cold and profound: "It’s fine, it’s done; take the corpse back to the Xiuluo Guard."
The constables were startled by his words!
Even the corpse must be detained, this is unacceptable!
Isn’t Minister Meng going to be infuriated!
The constable hesitantly advised, "Mar...Marquis, he is already dead. Perhaps, let us take him to the Meng Residence, so there’s an explanation."
Feng Fuce turned his gaze, eyes cold and stern.
The constable felt a chill down his spine.
It felt as if he was being stared down by a fierce beast, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
"No need for explanations, I will report this matter to the Emperor myself."
"If Meng Chang wants the corpse, let him come to the Xiuluo Guard and ask for it himself."
Having said this, Feng Fuce turned and took Bai Zhi’er’s small hand.
"Are you full?" he inquired softly, for some reason, his tone was slightly gentle.
Bai Zhi’er obediently nodded her little head.
She clung tightly to Feng Fuce’s arm and followed him out of the tavern.
In the Meng Residence, Lady Meng wept bitterly in her room.
"Husband, you must avenge my brother! He died so tragically, that Marquis Wan is utterly despicable, even detaining his corpse!"
Lord Meng, with a square face and two thick eyebrows, wore an expression of sternness and harsh severity.
He furrowed his brows and said coldly, "I sent people to find out that Marquis Wan indeed had no official duties at that time."
Lady Meng shuddered upon hearing this, her tearful eyes raised: "What?! So he just went to have a meal and killed my brother!"
"What a savage, cold-blooded person, thinks he can act recklessly with the Emperor’s favor!"
Lord Meng’s expression clouded with displeasure.
He always refrained from interfering with the Xiuluo Guard.
Because Feng Fuce, the Evil Star, was notoriously difficult to deal with!
