Montresor told the attendants of the house that he was going to the carnival, that he would not return until morning and gave them strict instructions that they were not to leave the house unattended. Ironically, he fully intended to return to the house before morning and wanted the attendants to leave the house unattended so that he could murder Fortunato without being discovered.

No. To begin with it is likely that the thousand injuries and insults that Montresor says he has suffered from Fortunato were figments of his imagination. No details of them are given and Fortunato acts very friendly toward Montresor and has no fear of him even while deep down in the cellar. Fortunato does not act like a person who would have committed so many wrongs to Montresor. Even if Fortunato had insulted Montresor, insults are not reason to murder another person.
