After listening to Su Mufeng's words, Ding Xiu's body trembled even more violently, and he sat tremblingly on the seat beside him, his forehead covered with sweat.
"No, there won't be anyone..." Ding Xiu murmured, but then he seemed to think of something and hurriedly closed his mouth.
"The death of Princess Liuli due to poor care may not necessarily be a capital crime. Even if Princess Liuli was humiliated before her death, which was an insult to the dignity of the royal family, as long as the criminal is arrested in time and the impact is minimized, it may not be a capital crime." Su Mufeng said calmly. He said: "But in order to cover up the truth, he set fire to Princess Liuli's body and tried to blame Beizhu Kingdom. Once this matter is exposed, he will definitely die."
"No, or it's not just death, it's the annihilation of the family, and it's the sin of the nine clans!"
"Imagine what would happen if one of you drank too much and accidentally told the truth?"
"Or what if one of you uses this matter to threaten Ye Huan and seek a promising future and huge wealth?"
"Or, what if one of you suddenly realizes his conscience and is no longer willing to collude with Ye Huan, and would rather die than tell the truth!"
"Ding Xiu, people's hearts are separated from each other. If you were Ye Huan, would you not think about food and drink and stay awake at night?"
"I..." Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, his lips kept trembling, he opened his mouth but could not speak.
"In this case, what's the safest way? Who is the best at keeping secrets?" Su Mufeng suddenly knocked on the table: "Dead man!"
"So, if I don't kill you, you will definitely die if you go back."
"And the person who killed you was none other than your good commander, Ye Huan, who set up this plan!"
"No, no, he won't." Ding Xiu seemed to be startled by Su Mufeng, and stood up suddenly, shaking his head repeatedly, but the panic in his expression proved that he didn't believe his words either.
"It's actually very simple to kill you." Su Mufeng ignored Ding Xiu's excuse and continued: "Assassinate, poison, frame, or even send you to perform a certain mission and then do it secretly."
"God is unaware, ghost is unaware, there is no evidence to doubt, no one can prove it, and no one will pursue it."
"Ye Huan was always the bright, wise and mighty deputy commander of the Jinluan Guards, but he died just like a lonely ghost."
"Of course." Su Mufeng changed her voice and looked at Ding Xiu with piercing eyes: "You can also believe him, believe that he is willing to believe you, and is willing to make a bet with your whole family, betting that Ye Huan is real A gentleman will not do anything unreasonable."
"So, do you believe him?"
"I..." Listening to Su Mufeng's question, Ding Xiu's mind went blank and his eyes were extremely blank.
"I know that with Commander Ye's shrewdness, in order to prevent us from breaking the pot and suppressing this matter, he must have sent people to leave quietly. They should be heading towards Tianyu City at this moment." Su Mufeng added After taking a sip of tea, he became calmer in his words: "I guess once this person sees His Majesty, he will definitely say, 'Beizhu Kingdom had a grudge in his heart and set fire to the inn where the princess lived, and then asked the city guards to stop the Jinluan Guards from putting out the fire, resulting in The princess died tragically, and then the Jinluan Guards were imprisoned. Her rebellious intentions were clearly exposed, and her intention to commit treason is unforgivable. Please investigate strictly."
When Ding Xiu heard this, his mouth suddenly opened wide and he looked at Su Mufeng in disbelief.
If they hadn't made sure that there was no one around when they were doing research, he would have suspected that Su Mufeng was listening at the scene.
"If this reaches His Majesty's ears, it will be too late." Su Mufeng said lightly: "Ding Xiu, if you don't completely believe Ye Huan, if you want to fight for your own life and the lives of your whole family, Give it a try, then cooperate with me, only in this way can you have a chance of survival."
"Plop!" Ding Xiu sat on the stool slumped, his expression calmed down a little, and he looked at Su Mufeng and said, "Haha, since they are all dead, why should I cooperate with you?"
"As long as you cooperate with me, I will protect you on behalf of my old man, the Beizhu Kingdom." Su Mufeng seemed to have guessed that Ding Xiu would ask this question, and said straightforwardly: "As long as you want, we will arrange for someone to bring your family here. Handu City will allow you to live a life without any worries about food and clothing in Handu City."
"Haha, I don't even believe Commander Ye, why should I believe you?" Ding Xiu said with a bitter smile.
"It's very simple. If you don't die, Ye Huan can't feel at ease. Only if you die is the best thing for Ye Huan." Su Mufeng said quietly: "But we are different. We have no conflict with you and protect you. It’s just a small thing for us.”
"Of course, this does not mean that we must be trustworthy. You also have to bet. It depends on which dish you are willing to place your bet on."
After saying this, Su Mufeng stopped talking and sat quietly aside, as if waiting for Ding Xiu to make his decision.
After a long time, Ding Xiu let out a long breath, then stood up, bowed deeply to Su Mufeng, and said in a deep voice: "Please save me, Master."
Just now, Ding Xiu had thought over Su Mufeng's words thoroughly, and he had to admit that what Su Mufeng said made sense.
Ye Huan has gone crazy to protect himself. He even dared to set fire to the body of Princess Liuli. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was crazy.
For such a person, in order to prevent this secret from being leaked, it is not impossible to kill them all.
No, it should be said that if he were Ye Huan, he would definitely do this.
In this case, in fact, I had no choice from the beginning.
If you help Beizhu Kingdom and the son of Beizhu Kingdom in front of you, you may still have a chance of survival, otherwise, you will definitely die.
"Haha, since you have already thought about it, that's fine." Su Mufeng stood up slowly: "Don't worry, I'm true to my word. Once I say it, I will definitely do it. I will definitely protect you."
"Thank you, Master." Ding Xiu said solemnly: "But, Master, how do you want me to help you? You won't ask me to come out to testify and prove that it was Ye Huan who asked us to set the fire."
"Don't worry, naturally I won't let you do such a thing." Su Mufeng shook his head, and then whispered: "I just hope that you can tell me everything you have experienced since arriving in Handu City in detail."
“Remember, don’t miss a single little thing!”
"This, okay." Ding Xiu recalled it carefully, and then said in a deep voice: "We arrived at Handu City around 16:20 yesterday..."
