Ross doesn't say that he doesn't believe that the guards are guilty, although he doesn't understand it. Ross is a rather credulous fellow as compared to Macduff or Lennox (who is extremely cynical about the idea that the guards were guilty in Act III Scene 5). When Macduff tells him that the guards are known to have committed the murder in Act II Scene 4, Ross does not doubt it, but asks, "What good could they pretend?", which basically means "Why did they do it?" Macduff tells Ross it was Malcolm and Donalbain who bought them off, and Ross accepts that as well.
