After leaving Hanmei Courtyard, Su Mufeng was not in a good mood.
Judging from Ye Huan's performance just now, I am afraid that he has prepared everything well, and it will be difficult for these Jinluan guards to ask anything.
Soon, Su Mufeng came to the lobby. After thinking for a moment, he found Liu Fu again.
He asked Liu Fu to arrange for people to clear the area around the lobby. During his conversation with Jin Luanwei, no one was allowed to approach at will.
Liu Fu didn't understand why Su Mufeng did this, but he nodded in agreement and quickly arranged everything.
After Liu Fu had arranged everything, Su Mufeng sent people to Hanmei Courtyard to invite the Jinluan Guards, only one at a time.
The first person invited was Ye Huan, deputy commander of the Jinluan Guard.
And just as Su Mufeng guessed, Ye Huan seemed to be prepared for every question he asked, so his answers were impeccable and seemed extremely candid.
He even confessed to the death of the widowed author Zhang Tao.
According to Ye Huan, he indeed arranged for Zhang Tao to be killed for the same reason as watchman Li Erniu: he touched Princess Liuli's body.
However, this does not mean that Ye Huan does not respect the rules of Handu City and despise Su Mufeng's warning.
Ye Huan said that the arrangements for Zhang Tao were made before he met Su Mufeng, which meant that they were carried out simultaneously with the murder of Li Erniu.
At that time, Su Mufeng had not warned him.
Although Su Mufeng was angry about Ye Huan's statement, there was nothing he could do about it.
Due to the fire at Chungui Inn, the current situation is that Su Mufeng can no longer take action against Jin Luanwei easily.
Speaking of which, Ye Huan flatly denied the fire at Chungui Inn, claiming that it was definitely just an accident.
With no other choice, Su Mufeng had no choice but to send Ye Huan back, but the next few people were the same as Ye Huan, and each one seemed so cooperative and honest.
Even the people who killed Zhang Tao and Li Erniu didn't hide anything. They told the time, tools and methods of committing the crime in detail.
He asked seven or eight people, but Su Mufeng felt that he only asked one person.
However, Su Mufeng was still not discouraged and continued to ask.
And just when Su Mufeng was about to ask everyone, things finally took a turn.
"Is it you?" Su Mufeng looked at the young man in front of him and tapped his fingers on the coffee table: "I remember your name is...Ding Xiu?"
"Yes, it's me." The Jinluan Guard looked very young and a little nervous. He nodded hurriedly after hearing Su Mufeng's words.
"At that time, you were the one who came to tell us that Chungui Inn was cheated." Su Mufeng said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Master." Ding Xiu nodded hurriedly.
"How long have you been joining the Jinluan Guard? Where are you from?" Su Mufeng continued to ask.
"One year." Ding Xiu lowered his head: "My family, my family is from Tianyucheng. I don't know why the young master is asking this."
"Then what do you think I should ask? In other words, what did I ask during your preparations?" Su Mufeng breathed a sigh of relief, but with a smile on his face.
"We? We are not prepared." Ding Xiu hurriedly raised his head and said.
"I live in Tianyu City and have become a Jinluan Guard. I think my family is pretty good." Su Mufeng ignored Ding Xiu's words and said to himself: "How are your parents in good health? Have you ever gotten married?"
"I..." Ding Xiu opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer.
"With your age, appearance, and official position, you must be married. I wonder who your lovely wife is from? She must be gentle, kind, and well-managed family." Su Mufeng continued to laugh: "Why? How about that? After being out for a few months, have you ever missed her? Do you want to go back to see her as soon as possible? "
"Mr. Master, what exactly do you want to ask?" Ding Xiu gritted his teeth, raised his head and looked at Su Mufeng and said, "You don't need to tell me that these tricks are so close."
"A joke." However, after listening to Ding Xiu's words, Su Mufeng smiled and shook his head: "How can I, the majestic son of Beizhu Kingdom, be close to your little golden guard? The reason why I ask you this is just to tell you. , if you hide it from me, I’m afraid you’ll never go back home, and never see your elderly parents and gentle wife!”
"You, you want to kill us?" Hearing this, Ding Xiu was startled and stood up suddenly.
"Killing you? What good will it do to me?" Su Mufeng shook his head: "When you set fire to Chungui Inn, shouldn't you have guessed it? I will not kill you."
"Then you want to..." Ding Xiu still had a frightened expression on his face, his brows furrowed tightly.
"If I don't kill you, it doesn't mean that you can return to Tianyu City alive." Su Mufeng picked up the cold tea on the side and took a sip: "Even if you can return to Tianyu City alive, it doesn't mean that you can return to Tianyu City alive." How long can you live?"
"What do you mean?" Ding Xiu's face turned pale.
"It must have been Ye Huan's idea to set fire to the Chungui Inn." Looking at Ding Xiu's expression, Su Mufeng put down the tea cup and said calmly: "This method is good enough and unique enough, and it is also the first step to turn the situation around. It’s amazing.”
"A fire was used to burn the body of Princess Liuli, and then the two 'witnesses' Li Erniu and Zhang Tao were killed. In this way, the truth about Princess Liuli's death could be covered up."
"Then he took advantage of the water to provoke the city guards and got into a stalemate with the city guards. In this way, it can be said that there was an accidental fire but the rescue was not possible due to the obstruction of the city guards, which led to the death of the princess."
"Confusing black and white, reversing the situation, and killing all of you Jinluan Guards, even if we explain, His Majesty will not believe it."
After listening to Su Mufeng's words, Ding Xiu's face turned paler, his body trembled slightly, and he clenched his teeth tightly.
"This is a good idea. It can protect you Jinluan Guards to the maximum extent and minimize your punishment." Su Mufeng continued: "I guess Ye Huan told you the same thing."
"But, Ding Xiu, have you ever thought about a problem?" Su Mufeng's voice changed: "In this plan, there is the biggest variable and the most dangerous factor."
"What, what do you mean?" Ding Xiu looked at Su Mufeng in confusion.
"It means that in this plan, no matter what we say, His Majesty will not believe it. After all, compared with our Beizhu Kingdom, Your Majesty must trust your Jinluan Guard more." Su Mufeng said lightly: "But if it is you Jinluan Guard yourself, What did you say? Did you guys from the Jinluan Guard expose it yourself?"
"What will your Majesty do?"
