Kang Xu hurriedly walked over, kicked the door open with a slam kick, and then walked in.

The room seemed to be used for storing groceries, and there were many miscellaneous items in it.

The Chow Chow wandered around the room for a while, and suddenly barked into the corner on the left.

Kang Xu walked over, and he found that at the base of the left wall, there was a large yellow wood cabinet.

After a closer look, Kang Xu suddenly showed a sneer, and he found that there was a trace of a wooden cabinet dragging on the ground.

Kang Xu immediately understood that there was a very high probability that there was a secret passage hidden behind this cabinet.

However, this wooden cabinet was extremely heavy, and Kang Xu had to call the officials to come and help.

Calling everyone, Kang Xu obviously saw that Yu Banxian's face became frightened.

This also made him more sure of what he thought, there is a possibility that there is a secret passage hidden behind this wooden cabinet, and there must be a lot of secrets hidden in the secret passage.

Generally speaking, wherever the secret passage is located, there must be information to control it.

Kang Xu searched around, but he didn't find the control of the mechanism, but fortunately, there were more of them, and seven or eight people worked together, and the wooden cabinet was easily overturned to the ground.

After the wooden cabinet fell to the ground, a half-human-high passage appeared in the corner of the wall.

Yu Banxian's whole person suddenly collapsed, his face was pale, although he tried his best to show himself calm, but the horror in his eyes betrayed him deeply.

Kang Xu glanced at him coldly, he was worried that there would be a trap in the secret passage, so he asked Yu Banxian to be in front and let him explore the way in front.

Kang Xu could see that Yu Banxian must be extremely familiar with this secret passage, otherwise he would never be so frightened. Fear of being discovered in the secret passage.

A servant escorted Yu Banxian and took the lead in entering. The crowd followed.

The passage sloped down, and torches burned on both sides. The inside is quite clean and seems to be cleaned often.

There are three cells side by side on both sides of the passage, and each cell has beds and bedding in it.

When they walked over, they found that three young girls were being held in three of the cells.

The three girls were disheveled, their eyes glazed over, and their faces were terrified.

Seeing someone come in, they huddled in the corner. The body is constantly shaking with fear.

Everyone was amazed, they didn't want to have a girl imprisoned in this secret room!

"Quickly open the cell door and get them out!" Kang Xu raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily.

Several officials hurriedly walked over and slashed the copper lock with their swords.

"Lan'er? Isn't this the Lan girl of the Zhao family? Bao Jia looked at the frightened-looking girl in one of the rooms, and suddenly cried out.

"Do you recognize her?" Kang Xu was a little surprised.

Bao Jia nodded hurriedly, and he walked quickly into the cell, looking at the girl carefully. shouted: "Village chief, look, it's really the missing Lan girl of the Zhao family!" ”

The village chief was surprised, and he hurried inside. shook the girl's shoulders and said anxiously, "Girl Lan, what's wrong with you?" Wake up. I'm your village chief, Uncle Liu! ”

The girl's eyes were glazed, and she looked at the village chief in a daze. It was only after a while that she realized. threw himself into the arms of the village chief and cried loudly: "Uncle Liu...... Uncle Liu, I'm Lan'er, you finally came to save Lan'er, woo woo woo ....... ”

"Girl Lan, what's going on, why are you here?" The village chief asked distressedly.

The girl was just about to speak, when she caught a glimpse of Yu Banxian who was being bound, and suddenly shouted as if she was crazy: "Don't, don't kill me, I'm willing to say anything, don't kill me!" Woowoo...... Lan'er doesn't want to die, don't kill me! Whining....... ”

The girl was frightened, holding her head in horror, and curled up again in the corner, as if she had seen something extremely terrible.

Seeing this, Kang Xu's brows suddenly furrowed.

"Girl, don't be afraid, the bad guys have been caught, you are already safe." Kang Xu walked over and comforted in a soft voice.

The girl was still holding her head, crying non-stop, and her body couldn't stop shaking.

"Village chief, please send her out of the dungeon, so that I can comfort her, and I will ask again when the official investigates clearly." Kang Xu's voice was low, and his words were full of anger.

The village chief nodded, and comforted the girl softly, and then the girl stretched out her hand tremblingly, pulled the corner of his clothes, and followed him out in horror.

In addition to the girl in front of her, there were two other women, both of whom seemed to have experienced something extremely frightening, and were full of fear for everyone.

Leaving six officials to protect the three women, Kang Xu took two officials and followed the Chow Chow Dog to walk forward.

At the end of the corridor is a cell made of wood.

The cell was surrounded by a curtain of cloth, through which it was faintly visible that there was a splendid soft couch inside.

The Chow Chow ran to the cell and barked incessantly into the cell.

Kang Xu ordered someone to open the cell, and then twisted Yu Banxian and walked in.

Walking into the cell, Kang Xu looked around, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

In addition to a soft couch, there is also a row of wooden shelves next to it, on which are placed various porcelain bottles, which seem to be aphrodisiacs from the words 'Yin Yang and Hesan' written on those porcelain bottles.

Kang Xu walked to the wooden frame, looked at it from above, and he was shocked to find that in addition to various aphrodisiacs, there were many small tools on the wooden frame.

Candles the thickness of a child's arm, a leather whip made of python skin, and other tools that are maiming enough but not immediately killing a person.

Kang Xu's eyes were slightly cold, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and continued to observe.

In addition to the wooden frame, there is also a wooden box in the hidden compartment under the soft couch.

Opening the wooden box, Kang Xu found that there were more than a dozen belly pockets stored inside.

All kinds of belly pockets!

These belly pockets vary in color and material, but all of them are used by women.

Some of them even had blood stains on their belly pockets.

Kang Xu's face instantly became solemn, he silently searched everywhere, looked up suddenly, and suddenly found two white silk hanging on both sides of the soft couch.

The two white silks fluttered gently, and some of the yellowed white silks were stained with bloodstains, like red plums in the snow.

Immediately afterward, he found two more white silk sticks on the wooden pillars on both sides.

Kang Xu pondered for a while, and then ordered someone to pull up the four white silks, and this pull, he found that the four white silk were gathered in the soft couch room.

He closed his eyes, and an image appeared in front of him.

A delicate girl was bound by white silk and hung on a soft couch, and a man held a leather whip and desperately whipped it at the woman. Looking at the scars on the girl's snow-white skin, the man became even more excited, and his eyes were bloodshot like beasts.

Kang Xu slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of angry killing intent flashed in his bright eyes.

Although the cell had been cleaned, there was still blood seeping into the gaps between the floors, and Kang Xu tried his best to control the anger in his heart, squatting on the ground and looking for it carefully.

Moments later, in the corner of his cell, he found a piece of flannel.

The flannel cloth is woven from pure cotton, crumpled into a ball, and discarded in the corner.

Kang Xu took out the magnifying gem, took out a palm-sized wooden box, and held a velvet thread in the wooden box in his hand, comparing it with the flannel.

This velvet thread was discovered by him from Tao Zhaoxue's mouth, and as long as he compared the velvet thread with the flannel, he could determine that this was the place where Tao Zhaoxue was killed.

This flannel is very ordinary, and there is nothing special about it.

But in Kang Xu's view, it is the most direct and powerful evidence.

The material and weave of the fleece are exactly the same as the flannel, and more importantly, the length of the fleece is exactly the same as the break in the flannel.

Putting the flannel and velvet into the evidence box, Kang Xu stood up slowly.

Now, he can be sure that this is where Tao Zhaoxue was killed, and all that remains is to find out the murderer.

"Yu Banxian, you are so bold, you set up a private cell, tortured and killed women, now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" Kang Xu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly shouted.

"Poor Dao doesn't understand what the adults are saying, and Poor Dao doesn't know that there will be a secret passage here, this matter has nothing to do with Poor Dao!" Yu Banxian plucked up his courage and argued loudly.

"Nothing to do with you?" Kang Xu smiled angrily, "Since the official can find out here, there is naturally evidence, this box contains the velvet thread found from Tao Zhaoxue's mouth, as well as the flannel cloth that the official found here. This velvet thread and flannel cloth are one, Tao Zhaoxue died tragically here, do you still want to deny it? ”

"My lord, wronged! Poor Dao doesn't know what Tao Zhaoxue is, and he didn't kill anyone, he was wronged! Yu Banxian struggled and shouted.

"When did the official tell you that Tao Zhaoxue was killed?" Kang Xu said coldly.

Yu Banxian suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly said: "I listened to the villagers, and Poor Dao really doesn't know about it." ”

"Hmph, since you heard what the villagers said, why do you want to say that you don't know Tao Zhaoxue? You don't match your words in the first and after, and you clearly have a ghost in your heart. You said you didn't know there was a secret room here, okay, the official will confront you with those three women! Take! Kang Xu waved his sleeves angrily, and then strode out of the cell.

Out of the secret room, Kang Xu ordered someone to twist Yu Banxian into the courtyard.

At this time, the three girls were comforted by Baojia and the village chief, and their mood had improved.

When they saw Yu Banxian, their faces were still frightened, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

"Don't be afraid, girls, I'm the magistrate of Zhengyang County. The officer asks you a few questions, and if you don't want to answer, just nod or shake your head. Kang Xu knew that everything before was like a nightmare for them, and it was not appropriate to ask what happened until their emotions were completely stable, so he said gently.

"Lan girl, Uncle Liu has already sent someone to inform your father and mother, they will be here soon. Tell your adults what happened to you, and they will make decisions for you. The village chief whispered comfort to a young girl.

The girl's dull eyes finally regained some of her brilliance, and she bit her lip and looked at Kang Xu in horror.

"Girls, do you know this person?" Kang Xu pulled Yu Banxian, who was tied into a zongzi, over and kicked him on the buttocks, kicking him to the ground, and asked. (To be continued.) )
