After that, whatever Mu Yu said, the pockmarked man would respond.
Because of the appearance of two important figures, Mu Ci and Dugu Liancheng, this matter was handled exceptionally smoothly.
At Mu Yu's urging, Mu Ci reluctantly left. At first, Mu Ci planned to go back to the palace with her to help her deal with the matter.
It was only at her insistence that Mu Cicai was finally persuaded to leave by Dugu Liancheng.
After returning to the palace, Mu Yu immediately asked people to invite Dugu Lianqi and the Luo sisters over. In addition, other sisters in the palace were also invited over.
After Dugu Lianqi took his seat, he asked, "What happened?"
Normally, Mu Yu would call so many people over when something happened. This couldn't be a coincidence.
"You have to ask the Luo sisters." Mu Yu looked in the direction of Luo Yue and Luo Xing.
Luo Xing pretended to be calm, but his heart was agitated.
Seeing that Mu Yu returned to the palace safely, she knew that the matter was not successful. However, Hongying said that the people she was looking for were extremely vicious and they would guarantee that everything would come true, and they could do so without anyone noticing.
Now that she saw that Mu Yu was safe and sound, she knew that the person Hong Ting was looking for was not that good.
"What does the princess mean by this? Why can't I understand?" Luo Yue took over.
Luo Xing then echoed: "Yes, Princess, please don't throw dirty water on us casually. Maybe it's because she hasn't come to pay her respects recently, and the Princess has a grudge in her heart, so she will use this method to frame us, right?"
Mu Yu looked at Dong'er, who understood and motioned to bring the person up.
Soon, the pockmarked man entered. He knelt on the ground and pointed at Hongfly: "It was this maid who asked me to kidnap the princess when she left the palace, and then ruined the princess' reputation..."
"Impossible! How could a slave do such a thing? What's more, even if the slave really wants to harm someone, can he go out in person and have someone identify him?" Hong Fei said angrily.
Indeed, she had never met this man face to face. She only interacted with the pockmarked man in the agreed way and asked him what to do.
Dugu Lianqi lowered his face and shouted to the pockmarked man: "Be more careful!"
The pock-marked man described the process of his dealings with Hongying: "I quietly followed this girl and saw her face and her identity clearly. I was very sure that it was this maid who contacted me and promised me
Give me a large sum of money as a token of thanks after the deed is accomplished."
"You are so slanderous!" Hongying shouted loudly.
"Come here, take Hong Ting under custody and interrogate her." Dugu Lianqi was too lazy to listen to Hong Ting's explanation.
It's easy to find out the truth, all you have to do is beat him to death.
"Your Majesty, it can't be Hongfly. There must be some misunderstanding." Luo Yue wanted to stop him.
Normally she could talk to Dugu Lianqi, and maybe she could stop Dugu Lianqi from torturing Hongfly.
Unfortunately, she still overestimated herself. Dugu Lianqi never even glanced at her, as if she was not in his eyes.
She was secretly frightened and a little depressed.
Could it be that Dugu Lianqi didn't miss their past friendship at all?
Soon someone came in and took Hongying into custody.
"There is no need to spare any spare hands, just hit her to death until she strikes." Dugu Lianqi ordered coldly.
As soon as the executioner heard this, he knew something in his heart.
Naturally, he didn't leave anything to chance when he struck, and he used all his ruthless moves.
Hongying had never suffered such a crime before, but she was still a loyal servant after all. No matter how painful it was, she never confessed.
Luo Xing and Luo Yue saw this in their eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Hongying survives this forced confession, they will have time and opportunity to get rid of the person.
Mu Yu also didn't expect Hong Ting to be so tough-talking, and if the beating continued like this, Hong Ting would be beaten to death.
"Okay, let's take the person into custody first. Don't let him die. We will try him again in two days. I don't believe it anymore and I can't open her mouth!" Mu Yu stopped her in time.
But you can't beat people to death. Once Hong Ting dies, it will be difficult to convict Luo Xing and Luo Yue.
Dugu Lianqi stretched out his hand to stop him. He looked at Luo Xing and Luo Yue and said coldly: "If you plead guilty now, I can let you live!"
"How can my sister and I plead guilty to something that Hongying has never done? If he unjustly accuses me and my sister without any evidence, is it too partial for the prince?" Luo Xing was furious and stood up quickly and shouted.
Dugu Lianqi smiled coldly: "What kind of vicious things have you done? You have a criminal record. Do you still need me to remind you of what you have done?"
"That happened in the past. In the heart of the prince, he still believed that my sister and I had bad intentions, otherwise he would not have given us a chance to defend ourselves." After Luo Xing finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left.
Seeing this, Luo Yue hurriedly chased after him.
Dugu Lianqi was about to send someone to follow him, but Mu Yu said: "Don't worry, there will be fun to watch next, I will make them die convinced!"
Luo Xing and Luo Yue cannot escape this situation. She will make Hongying speak and the Luo sisters confess.
"Then you will handle this matter personally. If there is anything you need my cooperation with, just say it." Dugu Lianqi softened his expression.
Fortunately, Mu Yu was smart enough, otherwise she would have been poisoned by the Luo sisters.
After Luo Xing and Luo Yue walked out of Lingyu Pavilion, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, Hong Ting was stubborn and didn't recruit us out, otherwise this matter would not have been rectified." Luo Xing returned to Lingxing Pavilion, took a sip of tea, and calmed down.
What chilled her the most was Dugu Lianqi's attitude.
Dugu Lianqi believed whatever Mu Yu said without any doubt.
Maybe Mu Yu said they were guilty, and Dugu Lianqi would have convicted them even if there was no evidence?
"Hong Ting was able to hold it today, but that doesn't mean it can hold it next time. According to Mu's wishes, Hong Ting will continue to be interrogated until Hong Ting is convinced. Xing'er, we have to find a way to get rid of Hong Ting.
Ting, let her never be able to speak again." Luo Yue's eyes showed a cruel look.
Luo Xing felt the same.
Today's situation is not good for them, and Hong Ting is the only witness who can confess them. As long as Hong Ting dies, Mu Yu will not be able to easily convict them no matter how good he is.
"I'm afraid that the Mu family has already prepared and will not give us the chance to kill Hongfly." Luo Xing expressed his worries.
They have seen how cunning Mu Yu is, and they must prepare for the worst.
Luo Yue's eyes flashed slightly: "You have to give it a try no matter what. You can't just sit back and wait for death. How long do you think Hongfly can carry it with her body and perseverance? Sooner or later she will push us out. By then, we will have no way out.
"
She knew very well that Hongying was not a particularly tough person, and Luo Xing must have known better.
"Yes, Hongying was not recruited under heavy punishment today. This is a chance for us to buffer. We must be decisive and kill this person alive so that we can rest easy." Luo Xing quickly made up his mind: "Then let go.
Give it a try!"
Kill Hong Ting, and then kill the prisoner who killed Hong Ting. Only the dead will not speak.
