Hearing Wei Wu's words, Lu Yao, who was holding his injured arm, was stunned on the spot.

He looked at Wei Wu in confusion and bewilderment, as if he had no idea what he meant.

Looking at Wei Wu's cold eyes, the confusion in his eyes was gradually replaced by horror.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Shen Lin and Zhang Hai coming to him from the left and right.

Completely ignoring his injuries, he directly carried Lu Yao and made him kneel in front of Wei Wu.

Because the wound was affected, Lu Yao's face turned pale with pain, cold sweat broke out, and even his cheeks began to twitch.

But under the suppression of Shen Lin and Zhang Hai, he couldn't even move, and the only thing he could do was cry and beg for mercy.

"Sir, sir, I don't know. I don't know anything! Please spare my life, please spare my life!"

"You do not know?"

Wei Wu asked back, then raised the handful of soil in his hand and let it slowly slide to the ground.

"I just couldn't figure out how the fire outside started, and how fierce it was."

"It wasn't until now that I realized it. You must have placed the flaming oil in the cave, just beneath the soil, right?"

Having said that, Wei Wu shook his head again in self-mockery.

"No wonder he was so eager to give me money. He actually wanted to lure me to this cave so that he could take action."

"I have to say your acting is really amazing. Of course, I also blame myself for being stupid. I didn't even notice the clues at all."

"But I can't understand why you set up this trap and didn't even spare yourself. Are you really planning to die with me?"

After hearing what Wei Wu said, Lu Yao's eyes widened and his mouth couldn't close.

After a while, he anxiously explained:

"My lord, this is unjust. This fire has nothing to do with me! I don't know why it turned out like this."

"I only wanted to survive. If I really set the fire, how could I have burned myself to death? And, and..."

Lu Yao wanted to continue speaking, but Wei Wu interrupted him and took over the conversation.

"And you didn't even touch the fire source, there's no possibility of setting a fire. That's what you mean, right?"

As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, Lu Yao immediately began to nod his head like pounding garlic.

"Yes, yes, I only have a kettle with me, not even a tinder, how can I start a fire?"

"Lv Yao, you can fool others, but you can't fool me? Who said you have to use a fire starter to light a fire?"

As he spoke, Wei Wu grabbed another handful of soil.

"A large amount of lime was sprinkled on those two houses before. You said it was to prevent moisture, but in fact it was to paralyze us."

"Let us think it is your custom, and when we come to this cave we shall forget about the lime."

"But you also placed a large amount of lime in this cave, and it was unburned quicklime."

"Just now, you deliberately knocked over your water bag, using the heat generated by quicklime upon contact with water to ignite the kindling and thus the pyrotechnic oil!"

Originally, Shen Lin and Zhang Hai were also a little confused. They didn't understand why Wei Wu suddenly said that Lu Yao was the arsonist.

It was not until now, after hearing what Wei Wu said, that they finally understood the reason behind the matter.

In their impression, Lu Yao is a little clever, but he is also cowardly and afraid of death.

The result is that this cowardly guy has brought them to this point.

The anger in my heart exploded in an instant.

If Wei Wu hadn't had something else to ask, they would both be ready to kill Lu Yao right away.

However, even though Wei Wu said this, Lu Yao still had that expression of being wronged.

Seeing him like this, murderous intent surged in Wei Wu's eyes.

"It seems we still have to go through the process. Shen Lin, use the methods you learned in the Imperial Guards!"

"Yes, Master!"

Shen Lin responded, then turned to look at Lu Yao.
