Chapter 24 Then I'll Admit It

Five years?

Cui Hengyue noticed this key word and continued to ask: "You have only been guarding the South Cave for five years, so where are the guards who were in your position before?"

"I heard he died of illness." Li Ping didn't hide anything.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know about that. I only heard that he was seriously ill and could not be cured. Later, General Mu gave him a generous burial and gave his family a generous pension."

Cui Hengyue thought for a while and asked again: "Then do you know his name?"

Li Ping shook his head: "I don't know. When I first came here, I asked them, but they refused to tell me. They only said that the person was dead, so what's the use of remembering his name."

In fact, he was very curious at first and asked the other seven people guarding the South Cave together, but they always avoided talking or were vague. Later, he had the sense not to ask.

Cui Hengyue felt that there was something fishy here, but Li Ping didn't know about it and she couldn't find out.

After asking this point, Cui Hengyue suddenly became interested in the people imprisoned in the South Cave. She unconsciously leaned forward and lowered her voice and said to Li Ping:

"Can you take me to the South Cave to have a look?"

Hearing this, Li Ping waved his hands hurriedly: "No, Captain Yun has given orders. No one can enter except him and a few of us."

After a pause, he added: "However, if you have a warrant from Lieutenant Yun or General Mu, I can let you in."

Ha, it's really different.

Cui Hengyue sneered in her heart and made an indifferent expression on her face: "I was just talking casually.

"Then the South Catacombs must be the same as the North Catacombs. They are dark, stuffy and crude, with nothing interesting to see."

Next, Cui Hengyue asked a few more seemingly insignificant questions and let Li Ping leave.

As soon as Li Ping left, Shui Fu appeared at the door. She leaned against the doorpost and tucked her hair behind her ears: "Crazy girl, who else do you want to see?"

When asked this question, Shui Fu's voice was very gentle, and the movement of her hair was so charming that the guards outside the door were stunned.

Cui Hengyue raised her eyebrows in surprise. Why didn't this arrogant maid call her a stinky girl or yell at her fiercely?

Is there some conspiracy?

Thinking of this, Cui Hengyue shook his head to keep himself awake.

"No, that's all for today." Cui Hengyue said calmly and walked straight out.

Shuifu quickly followed.

But when they reached the stairs, Cui Hengyue suddenly went down to the Ksitigarbha Pavilion. Shui Fu rushed up and caught Cui Hengyue.

"hiss--"

Cui Hengyue bared her teeth and lowered her head, her newly bandaged wound bleeding again.

Shui Fu immediately let go of her hand, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes: "General Mu has ordered you to go see him after you finish asking."

"If you have anything to do, just say it and don't use your hands or feet."

Cui Hengyue glared at Shui Fu, turned around and walked upstairs.

Humph, she knew that this arrogant maid had no good intentions, but she didn't expect that she would do it so quickly.

When they arrived at the side hall of Guanyin Pavilion, Cui Hengyue made a request to Mu Yun bluntly: "I want to meet the people who live in the South Cave."

Shui Fu paused in her steps. Didn't the crazy girl just say that she wouldn't see anyone today?

Sure enough, she shouldn't believe this crazy girl,

Mu Yun suddenly darkened his face: "What are you going to do?"

"Just meet someone and ask a few questions." Cui Hengyue replied casually.

"He has nothing to do with this case. If you want to investigate the case, you can ask other people."

"Whether it's relevant or not, I won't know until I see it."

Hearing this, Mu Yun and Mu Feng said in unison: "No."

Cui Hengyue looked at Mu Yun, then at Mu Feng, and asked curiously: "Why not?"

"If it doesn't work, it won't work." Mu Feng stood up and asked coldly: "Have you found the murderer?"

Cui Hengyue rolled her eyes and said calmly: "I haven't found it yet, but if you let me meet the people who live in the South Cave, I can find the murderer."

"Are you threatening us?" Mu Feng suddenly released murderous intent.

Others in the palace involuntarily retreated, but Mu Yun and Cui Hengyue remained unmoved.

Cui Hengyue said calmly: "I didn't mean it originally, but if you insist on thinking so, then I'll admit it."

Mu Yun: "..."

other people:"......"

Seeing Mu Feng's hand move and rest on the hilt of the sword, Yun Chen, Yun Lin and the others stepped back again.

Mu Feng said coldly: "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with us. There are still ten hours. If you don't find the murderer, you will die tomorrow."

"No need to remind Commander Mu, I remember."

After saying that, Cui Hengyue turned around and left.

Yun Lin's figure flashed and he was in front of Cui Hengyue: "Where are you going?"

"Go back to sleep."

Cui Hengyue waved away Yun Lin's hand and continued walking out.

Yunlin wanted to capture Cui Hengyue, but heard Mu Yun's order: "Let her go."

...

Entering his room, Cui Hengyue's tense mind gradually relaxed.

As soon as he relaxed, dizziness swept over him. Cui Hengyue's eyes turned black and he fell to the ground with a "pop".

"Yue Yue--"

When Qionghua heard the noise, she turned around and saw Cui Hengyue lying on the ground. She hurriedly threw away the embroidery needle and ran to Cui Hengyue, "Yueyue, are you okay? Don't scare me..."

"I'm fine. I'll be fine if I take a nap. Don't disturb me..."

Before Cui Hengyue could finish speaking, he fainted.

--------

The next day.

Cui Hengyue changed the gauze to stop the bleeding with the help of Qionghua, and followed the guards sent by Mu Yun to Guanyin Pavilion.

There were still the same people in the hall as yesterday, but the way Shui Fu and Shui Rong looked at her changed.

It seems that something happened last night that she didn't know about.

Cui Hengyue started thinking in her heart, but she heard Mu Yun ask her: "Who is the murderer?"

"I want to see those people guarding the South Cave again." Cui Hengyue asked calmly.

Mu Yun winked at Yun Chen.

Yun Chen walked to Cui Hengyue: "Follow me."

After they left, Shuifu couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "What kind of mystery is this crazy girl trying to do..."

Half an hour later, Yun Chen ran in and reported: "General, Cui Hengyue still asked those people alone, but she only asked those people one question."

"What's the problem?" Shui Fu asked curiously before Mu Yun opened his mouth.

Yun Chen turned to look at Shui Fu, and his voice became gentle unconsciously: "She wants to enter the South Cave. Ask the seven people if they are willing to take her in."

Mu Yun's expression changed, and Mu Feng blinked.

"Then did they agree to the crazy girl?" Shuifu asked.

"of course not."

At this time, Chen Guang's voice sounded outside the door: "General, Cui Hengyue is here."

"Let her in."

Cui Hengyue and Li Ping walked into the side hall one after another.

Mu Yun raised his eyebrows, could this Li Ping be the murderer?

As soon as the idea came to his mind, Cui Hengyue pointed at Li Ping beside him and said, "He is the murderer."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword was placed on Li Ping's neck.

It's Yunlin.

Such a fast sword. Cui Hengyue cast an admiring look at Yun Lin, but slowly moved to the side, away from Yun Lin and his sword.

After a brief moment of confusion, Li Ping yelled at Cui Hengyue: "Crazy girl, please stop talking nonsense, I am not the murderer.

"Don't think that if you just pull out someone and say he is the murderer, you can escape the blame and survive peacefully..."

Cui Hengyue looked at Li Ping expressionlessly, without refuting or speaking.

Mu Yun suddenly shouted: "Shut up."

Li Ping's voice stopped suddenly.

Mu Yun turned to Cui Hengyue again: "What he said just now is right. If you randomly pull someone out and say he is the murderer, you will still die."

"He is the murderer." Cui Hengyue pointed at Li Ping again.

Seeing that Cui Hengyue still insisted, Mu Yun asked: "What evidence do you have?"
