"Dongmei will follow the arrangement of the adults." Dongmei wiped her red and swollen eyes and kowtowed to Kang Xu.

After confessing to Dongmei, Kang Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, and the mystery that had been haunting his heart was finally solved, which made him feel indescribably relieved.

After Dongmei left, Kang Xu took a slow walk in the garden with his hands behind his back. As soon as I passed through the moon-shaped arch, I saw Tao Zhenzhu coming towards me.

"My lord, I just saw Dongmei leave here with red eyes, I don't know what happened?" Tao Jizhu asked curiously.

"I asked Dongmei about something about Miss Tao, which may have aroused her sadness." Kang Xu bowed slightly, he touched his smooth chin, and continued: "However, regarding the murder of Miss Tao, this official finally has conclusive evidence. ”

Tao Jizhu's eyes lit up suddenly, he looked at Kang Xu, who was full of confidence, and said excitedly: "Really? When is the Lord going to try Lu Ji and that brute? ”

"Tomorrow at noon, this official will hold a court to hear the case, and I will definitely give you an explanation at that time." Kang Xu squinted his eyes, and after leaving a sentence, he strode out of the Tao Mansion.

The next day, Zhengyang County Ya.

Tao Zhaoxue's murder and the imprisonment of innocent women have long been rumored in Zhengyang City.

Hearing that the county order was going to try the case, the people of Zhengyang County gathered at the county office early in the morning.

"Have you heard, the eldest lady of the Tao family was killed this time, and the methods are extremely cruel, it is simply mad!"

"Zhengyang County has long been rumored, who wouldn't know? Nowadays, the people know about it. There's a murderous murderer in this city, but people are terrified! ”

"Fortunately, there is a county magistrate. Not only did he catch the murderer, but he also rescued several girls who had been missing for a long time. Now that adults are holding a trial, it must be to stabilize people's hearts. ”

Before the time of ascension arrived, the people gathered together and discussed.

"Your Excellency is out, look!"

I don't know who shouted, and everyone immediately stretched their necks and looked through the gate of the county government to the lobby.

I saw a man in an official uniform with a veil on his face, walking out from behind the screen, and he straightened his clothes. Then he sat down in the warm pavilion.

"Strange, why do you wear a veil?"

"Oh, it is said that the county commander is sick and afraid of infecting others, so he uses a veil to cover his face."

"What? Are adults sick? Oh, I just bought a few wild ginseng plants with a century-old climate, and after the case is tried, I will send them to adults. The county commander saved the lives of our county, so we have to express it! ”

"That's what Brother Tai said. I also have some medicinal herbs, let's give them to adults later! ”

Kang Xu sat in the warm pavilion, although he was far away, he could still hear the voices of everyone. I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Since he pretended to be Li Canghai with a veil, in order to avoid the suspicion of others, he said that he had a strange disease. But the news spread all over the city unconsciously, and almost every hour these days, people sent him all kinds of medicinal supplements.

Kang Xu naturally won't accept it. But those people were very simple, even if they were turned away. They didn't give up either, put all the medicinal supplements in front of the door, and left silently.

This is what Kang Xu never expected, he didn't expect that although Zhengyang County is a poor county, the people are so simple, and the people here know how to be grateful, which makes his heart extremely warm.

The more this is the case, the more Kang Xu feels that the burden on his body is much heavier.

How could he let the people down when they trusted him so much?

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of the already cold tea, Kang Xu calmed down, and then asked Xiao Wu, who was also the master, for the next hour.

Xiao Wu looked at the copper leak and said, "My lord, the time has come, and you can start the trial." ”

Kang Xu nodded, picked up the startling wood and slapped it violently, and said, "Ascension!" ”

"Might~Wu!!"

In the main hall, the officials on both sides held ring sticks, beating the terrazzo floor tiles vigorously, accompanied by a long and mighty sound echoing in the county government.

The atmosphere of the entire county office suddenly became solemn, and everyone stretched out their heads to look at the lobby, wanting to see how the county order would hear the case.

Tao Youran came to the main hall with the support of his son Tao Zhenzhu, and he saluted Kang Xu tremblingly.

Kang Xu saw it in his eyes, and in just a few days, he became even older, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, which obviously hit him extremely hard.

"Tao Gong doesn't have to be polite, look at the seat." Kang Xu nodded at him, and then ordered someone to bring a chair and put it on the right side for him to sit down.

"Take someone to commit it!" Kang Xu slapped the startled wood vigorously and let out a loud shout.

With Kang Xu's loud shout, the two officials took Lu Jitong to the hall.

Lu Jitong was wearing a prison uniform, his hair was messy, and his hands were tied with iron chains, although he was a prisoner under the stairs, his face was extremely calm.

"Who is the one who kneels?" Kang Xu asked.

"Lu Jitong." Lu Jitong knelt on the ground and replied calmly.

"Do you know why you're in this hall?"

Lu Jitong glanced at Kang Xu and said, "I don't know." ”

"Lu Jitong! You bastard, how dare you pretend to be stupid even now? You killed my sister and imprisoned the girl, and this case has already been investigated by adults, and you still don't admit it? Tao Jizhu let out an angry roar and pointed at him and scolded.

"I didn't kill anyone, so why should I admit it?" Lu Jitong ignored Tao Jizhu, but stared at Kang Xu intently, and said: "My lord, they all say that you are the master of Qingtian, and you are like a god in judging the case, I don't know if it can be fake?" ”

Kang Xu's brows furrowed slightly, Lu Jitong seemed to have something to say, this was the second time he had interrogated him, but this time Lu Jitong gave him a strange feeling.

Taking a sip of herbal tea, Kang Xu said lightly: "This official opened the court today to try the case of Tao Zhaoxue's murder, and judging from the clues found by this official, it can be determined that you are the murderer." ”

"Oh? The grass people listened to him, and as long as the adults showed convincing evidence, the grass people would confess their guilt. Lu Jitong said deeply.

Kang Xu stared at him intently, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then the official will describe the entire case to you." ”

"The deceased, Tao Zhaoxue, ran away on the day of Gengxu, and the body was found in Luoshui outside the city a few days later. The first person to find the body was a shepherd boy, and from the autopsy, it was found that the deceased had not drowned, but had been killed. ”

Kang Xu stood up, picked up the autopsy form on the case, and said, "This official has an autopsy report here, I'll read it to you and help you recall it." The deceased was covered in scars, mostly whip marks and knife marks. There were inches of steel needles nailed to each of the ten fingers, and in addition to that, the most shocking thing was that the deceased was stabbed into a dagger in the lower body. The dagger was about seven inches long and two fingers wide, and it went straight into the lower abdomen of the deceased, which was the cause of his death. (To be continued.) )
