The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 24 Then I'll Admit It
Five years?

Cui Hengyue noticed this key word, and continued to ask: "You have only guarded the South Catacombs for five years, so where did the guards who were in your position go?"

"I heard that 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 got a sudden illness and was not cured. Later, General Mu buried him generously and gave his family a generous pension."

Cui Hengyue thought for a while, then asked: "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 everyone is dead. What's the use of remembering his name?"

In fact, he was very curious at first, and asked the other seven people who guarded the South Catacombs together, but they always avoided talking about it, or made vague remarks, and later, he wisely stopped asking.

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

At this point of inquiry, Cui Hengyue suddenly became interested in the people locked in the South Catacombs. She unconsciously leaned forward and said to Li Ping in a low voice:
"Can you take me to the South Catacombs?"

Hearing this, Li Ping quickly waved his hands: "No, Captain Yun has ordered that no one can go in except him and us."

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

Oh, it really is different.

Cui Hengyue sneered in her heart, with an indifferent expression on her face: "I'm just talking casually.

"The South Catacombs must be the same as the North Catacombs. It's dark, stuffy and simple, and there's nothing to see."

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

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

When asked this question, Shui Fu's voice was very gentle, and the movement of combing her hair was even more coquettish, she was stunned by the guards outside the door.

Cui Hengyue raised her eyebrows in surprise, why didn't this arrogant maid call her a stinky girl, and didn't yell at her fiercely?
Is there some conspiracy?

Thinking of this, Cui Hengyue shook her head to keep herself awake.

"It's gone, I'm here today." Cui Hengyue finished speaking lightly, and went straight out.

Shuifu hurriedly followed.

But when he reached the stairs, Cui Hengyue suddenly went down to the Dizang Pavilion, and Shui Fu rushed up and grabbed Cui Hengyue.

"hiss--"

Cui Hengyue grinned and lowered her head, the wound she had just bandaged was bleeding again.

Shui Fu immediately let go of her hand, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes: "General Mu has an order to see him after you finish your inquiries."

"If you have something to say, just say it, and don't move your hands."

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

Hmph, she knew that this arrogant maid had no good intentions, and she didn't expect to act so soon.

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

Shui Fu paused, didn't the crazy girl just say that she didn't see anyone today?

Sure enough, she shouldn't have trusted this crazy girl.

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

"Just meet people and ask a few words." 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 related 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?"

"No, no." 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 Catacombs, I can find the murderer."

"Are you threatening us?" Mu Feng suddenly let out a murderous look.

Others in the hall retreated involuntarily, only Mu Yun and Cui Hengyue stood still.

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

Mu Yun: "."

other people:"."

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

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

"You don't need Commander Mu to remind you, I remember."

After saying that, Cui Hengyue turned around and left.

With a flash of Yun Lin's figure, he was in front of Cui Hengyue: "Where are you going?"

"Go back to sleep."

Cui Hengyue waved Yun Lin's hand away and continued to walk outside.

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

Walking into her room, Cui Hengyue's tense mind gradually relaxed.

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

"Yue Yue--"

Qionghua heard the movement, turned around and saw Cui Hengyue fell on the ground, hurriedly dropped the embroidery needle, and ran to Cui Hengyue, "Yueyue, are you okay? Don't scare me."

"I'm fine, just sleep, don't disturb me."

Before Cui Hengyue finished speaking, she passed out.
-
The next day.

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

The people in the hall were still the same as yesterday, but Shui Fu and Shui Rong looked at her with different eyes.

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

Cui Hengyue thought about it in her heart, but she heard Mu Yun ask her: "Who is the murderer?"

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

Mu Yun winked at Yunchen.

Yun Chen walked to Cui Hengyue's side: "Come with me."

After they left, Shui Fu couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "What kind of mystery is the crazy girl playing?"

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

"What's the question?" Before Mu Yun could speak, Shui Fu asked curiously.

Yun Chen turned her head to look at Shui Fu, and her voice became soft unconsciously: "She wants to enter the South Catacombs, and ask those seven people if they are willing to take her in."

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

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

"of course not."

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

"Let her in."

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

Mu Yun raised his eyebrows, this Li Ping could not be the murderer, could he?

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

As soon as the words fell, a sword was placed on Li Ping's neck.

It is Yunlin.

The sword was so fast, Cui Hengyue cast admiring gazes at Yunlin, but slowly moved to the side, away from Yunlin and his sword.

Li Ping yelled at Cui Hengyue after being stunned for a moment: "Crazy girl, stop talking nonsense, I'm not a murderer.

"Don't think that just pulling someone out and calling him a murderer will allow you to get away with the crime and survive safely."

Cui Hengyue looked at Li Ping expressionlessly, neither refuted nor spoke.

Mu Yun suddenly shouted: "Shut up."

Li Ping's voice stopped abruptly.

Mu Yun turned to Cui Hengyue again: "He was right just now, if you just drag someone out and say he is the murderer, you still have to die."

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

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