I want to make progress

"I tried to rush into the fire to save people, but when I found Meng Xichen, he was already dead."

"You were in the fire!"

This really startled Meng Dongchen, and he immediately asked anxiously, staring at him closely, trying to tell if he was lying, "What did you see?"

His eyes moved, and he met Meng Dongchen's eyes that seemed to see through everything, and he said lightly: "I saw the bodies of your third brother and two servants in his room. Your brother was stabbed in the heart with a dagger, and the two servants were slashed in the neck with a sword."

"What! Are you telling the truth?"

How could this happen! Meng Dongchen was shocked, but he didn't believe it. His eyes were full of suspicion. Could it be that he did it?

"The person who did it drew his sword very quickly and neatly. It is certain that his martial arts skills must be quite good."

Meng Xichen died from Fu'er's silver hairpin, but the other two were killed by an expert, so he took the risk of using a dagger instead of the silver hairpin in the fire and pretending that the wound was caused by a dagger.

But he was also very curious, who was the one who attacked the two servants, and what was his relationship with Fu'er?

"When I arrived, the blood was still flowing. They had not been dead for long. I guess someone must have sneaked into the yard and killed them. In order to escape and divert attention, they set a fire."

Gu Changting naturally knew his doubts. If he were in his place, he would also have doubts.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be someone from the Yin-Yang Sect who escaped from the Nine-Storied Tower. We followed them all the way here, maybe they wanted to get rid of us."

Everyone understood what he said next, that he was being used to ward off disaster.

"If you don't believe me, wait until the fire is out and then check the body and you will know everything."

What is true is false, and what is false is true. Besides, there is not a single lie in what he said. He just concealed some things and guessed some things.

"Impossible! How could someone from the Liang Yi Sect break into our farm and kill people?"

These were not enough to convince Meng Dongchen. Besides, their Duke of Huguo Mansion had cooperation with the Liangyi Sect. Although they had deliberately tricked the Liangyi Sect last time, the Liangyi Sect also broke one of the third brother's legs and ruined his life.

At that time, they could have taken the third brother's life, but they only broke his leg in order to avoid a fallout with the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. There was no reason for them to just ignore it this time.

"That's what I'm curious about. It seems that those people from the Liangyi Sect fled from the Nine-Storied Tower and headed straight to your farm. Why did they flee here? Isn't this just a coincidence?"

Instead of retreating, he advanced. Gu Changting was not the type of person who would be chased or forced. At this moment, his eyes were full of aggression, as sharp as a hunter spotting a hunter.

"How...how should I know this! You should ask those crazy people in the Liang Yi Sect!"

Gu Changting's attack was indeed effective, and it hit Meng Dongchen's weak spot. He felt guilty!

But who is Gu Changting? He could seize the opportunity when Meng Dongchen felt guilty even for a moment. Seeing that the attack was effective, he immediately pursued the victory.

What's more important is that they completely shifted the focus from suspecting him of murder to why the Liang Yi sect committed murder and arson, and directly concluded that the Liang Yi sect was responsible. Even Meng Dongchen himself unknowingly acquiesced to this fact.

"Whoever planned the Nine-Story Tower incident must have made a careful calculation. If Boss Li had not happened to be in the tower and caught the person from the Yin-Yang Sect who was trying to poison us, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Following Gu Changting's gaze, Meng Dongchen's eyes fell on Li Xuan standing beside him.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Xuan didn't say much. He just bowed and lowered his head. No one saw the flash in his eyes. Gu Changting... worthy of being Gu Changting!

"This is not a trivial matter. The court will definitely get to the bottom of it."

Sure enough, his bet was right. Gu Changting breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The person who executes such a plan must not be an ordinary person. It is not surprising that he would commit murder and arson to create an opportunity for his escape."

"As for why they came to the manor of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion, whether the people of the Liangyi Sect killed the third son of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion, and whether the fire was caused by those people, we still need to investigate. Everything depends on the evidence."

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. We still need to see the evidence.

"Brother, could it really be someone from the Liangyi Sect who did this?" Meng Nanchen, who had been silent all this time, carefully pulled on his brother's clothes and frowned, "Those people are crazy. I don't find it strange what they do."

Pointing to the fire, "In order to escape, doing this... is not impossible."

"Whether it is or not, in the end it all depends on the evidence."

Meng Dongchen looked solemn. It would be best if it wasn't the Liangyi Sect, otherwise...

"No matter who did it, anyone who dared to kill someone from the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion must pay with blood!"

"Ok!"

Meng Nanchen nodded and said nothing more. He just curled the corners of his mouth when he turned his head and looked at the raging fire in front of him, with a hint of gloating in the depths of his eyes.

Meng Dongchen is the legitimate son and grandson, and he is capable and shrewd. He is highly regarded by everyone in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. This is understandable. He has used his own strength to show them that he is worthy.

But Meng Xichen is different. He is a spendthrift, a drunkard, a gambler, and a brainless fool. Such a waste with all the five vices is valued and loved by the whole family just because he was born from his stepmother's womb and is the legitimate son. How could Meng Nanchen, a bastard's son, not be jealous?

Now that the fire has started, the bodies will probably be burned to ashes. How can Meng Nanchen not be happy?

In just a few words, Gu Changting completely gained the upper hand. You suspected me of murder and arson, and I also suspected that you were related to the Liangyi Sect.

He has completely taken the dominant position. The one who should be anxious now is not him, but the Duke of Protectorate. This is what real ability is.

Gu Changting instantly understood what Shu Yunfu meant when she said before she left. Moreover, there were intricate ties between the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and the Liangyi Sect. Putting the blame for Meng Xichen's death on the Liangyi Sect was the best option.

Now the result is what they expected, which is good.

But he couldn't feel happy in his heart. Shu Yunfu...what kind of woman are you...

On this side, Gu Changting calmly dealt with Meng Dongchen and others and cleaned up the mess for her, while Shu Yunfu also encountered trouble over there.

I was kidnapped and beaten, and was also murdered and burned. Finally, I was framed. Not only was I physically exhausted throughout the day, but it was also mentally tormenting.

She killed someone with her own hands!

The situation was too critical at the time and she didn't have time to be afraid, but after she was safe, her mind was full of the scene of the murder.
