Chapter 1419: Lei Hu’s Past

Upon hearing the resentment in her words, Bai Yaoyu frowned perplexedly.

He turned back to look at Bai Zhi’er, with his eyes asking: What’s wrong with her?

Bai Zhi’er pouted.

The meaning was something related to Run He, suggesting Bai Yaoyu should comfort her properly.

So, Bai Yaoyu pulled Fang Youzhen aside to explain.

Bai Zhi’er was watching them, suddenly someone’s hand grabbed hers.

Feng Fuce took her hand and walked aside to sit down.

"Before coming out to investigate the case, I was thinking, if this matter was tricky, I might not see you for two days," Feng Fuce said, lowering his head to kiss her fingertips.

That affectionate expression made the unmarried Xiu Luo Envoys around blush.

They each turned their faces away, not daring to peek.

Lei Hu was even more embarrassed: "I’ll... I’ll go to the backyard to question the shopkeeper."

He slipped away too.

Bai Zhi’er watched them with a smile, then asked Feng Fuce, "Although it’s a homicide, the situation shouldn’t be serious, how come the Xiuluo Guard is deployed to investigate?"

"It’s Prime Minister Wen’s decision, initially it was a matter for the government, but this deceased Lv Xinniang has done quite a few good deeds over the past two years, donating clothes and food to many orphans, and has a good reputation in the community."

"So, in order to provide the people with a clear explanation, naturally it’s for us to investigate."

Bai Zhi’er understood, her water-like eyes blinked: "So, Lv Xinniang was really a good person."

Feng Fuce gave a faint smile, rubbing her soft fingers.

"Whether she’s good or not is unclear, but someone who comes from the worldly dust and can still maintain a helpful heart, is rare, has a sense of chivalry."

Bai Zhi’er followed with a sweet smile, nodding: "I think so too."

"By the way, seeing Brother Lei Hu wasn’t in a good mood earlier, did you scare him?"

Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow: "How could I scare him."

Bai Zhi’er tilted her head: "Then why did he look fierce, just scared Run He pale earlier."

Usually, she saw Lei Hu interrogating criminals without this strong demeanor.

Feng Fuce glanced towards the direction of the backyard, vaguely seeing Lei Hu questioning the shopkeeper of the teahouse and the waiter.

He said lightly: "I haven’t told you, although Lei Hu is an orphan, before he came to Xiuluo Guard, he had a sister."

"The siblings depended on each other, because Lei Hu was young at the time, his sister worked as a clean official in a brothel, earning money to support him."

"But later, his sister was beaten to death by a guest for rejecting them."

Bai Zhi’er was surprised: "So Brother Lei Hu has such a past?"

Feng Fuce nodded: "When he joined the Xiuluo Guard, he said he was willing to risk his life, but he had only one request, to let the Xiuluo Guard help him get revenge."

At this, he smiled, scratching Bai Zhi’er’s nose.

"The rest of the story is too bloody, I won’t tell you."

Bai Zhi’er pouted: "Even if you don’t say it, I can guess, probably you helped Brother Lei Hu get revenge, killed the person who beat his sister to death, right?"

Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow: "Half right, it wasn’t just killing that person, but killing their whole family."

Bai Zhi’er shuddered upon hearing it.

Feng Fuce immediately held her hand tightly: "Sorry, I shouldn’t have said it so detailed."

Bai Zhi’er took a deep breath, shook her head: "It’s okay, it’s your way of doing things, and it’s no wonder Brother Lei Hu is willing to follow you to the death."

"Well, so he thought of his sister when he heard about Lv Xinniang, however, that Run He is indeed excessive, imposing so-called morality regardless of right or wrong. No different from bad people!"
