Hearing this, the furious Miyauchi Ryosuke involuntarily snorted, he stomped his foot vigorously, and said angrily: "The boiled duck flew!" That's it, withdraw! ”

With a wave of his right hand, those ninjas immediately picked up the corpses of their companions and disappeared into the old alley.

Apricot and the others breathed a sigh of relief, if Di hated the sky at night, it was difficult to say whether they would be able to survive.

Before their nervous mood could relax, Lu Jitong hurriedly said to Xingzi: "The official mission is coming, you guys go quickly!" ”

"We're gone, what are you going to do?" Apricot asked as she pulled Lu Jitong's sleeve.

"Don't worry, they won't do anything to me, but you, it is not appropriate to reveal your identity at this time, otherwise it will only cause more trouble. Gengxu, take the apricots and them to the Zhenyu Pavilion, and when this is over, I will go to you. Remember, be sure to keep the apricots safe! Lu Jitong comforted the apricot, and then said to the little guy Gengxu seriously.

Geng Xu nodded heavily, and hurriedly left the old alley with the reluctant apricots.

The sound of footsteps sounded in the ruins of the dilapidated old alley, and Kang Xu with more than a dozen officials soon arrived.

"Surround this place quickly, and no one will leave!" Kang Xu commanded loudly.

The officials nodded and received the order, and then dispersed, surrounded by the old alley.

Walking through the old alley, I smell a smell of blood in the air.

Kang Xu walked in quickly, and there were several corpses lying in front of him, with a large area of blood flowing from the ground, and the surrounding area was covered with traces of fighting.

Lu Jitong held a sharp sword in his hand, stood in place, and looked at Kang Xu quietly, as if he was waiting for him to come.

Kang Xu's brows tightened, he stared at Lu Jitong, and said coldly: "Lu Jitong." You are so bold, in broad daylight, you are actually murderous! Now, with the evidence conclusive, what else do you have to say? ”

Lu Jitong glanced at him and casually threw away the sword in his hand. He also stared at Kang Xu and said deeply: "If I say that they were not killed by me, will you believe them?" ”

"Hmph, you didn't kill me? Are you blind when you are a ruler? Kang Xu's eyes were slightly cold, his sleeves flicked, and he said angrily: "You absconded in fear of crime before, and now you have committed murder, I want to see who will save you this time!" ”

Kang Xu waved his hand. Several officials immediately surrounded and cautiously besieged Lu Jitong in the middle.

Lu Jitong's face was calm, he didn't panic at all, not only did he not resist, but took the initiative to stretch out his hands and said: "Since the adults don't believe what I said, it will be in vain for me to say it, I am willing to confess." ”

Lu Jitong said this. On the contrary, it was unexpected, Kang Xu touched his nose in a little surprise. I didn't expect Lu Jitong to admit it so simply.

He stared at Lu Jitong for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Daring to act is what a big husband does." ”

With a wave of his right hand, several officials pounced and tied up Lu Jitong easily.

Kang Xu frowned slightly, and Lu Jitong did not resist at all, which made him have some doubts in his heart.

He pondered. Then he walked over to the lying corpse and crouched down to observe.

Several of the dead looked unremarkable, but the darts on their bodies, as well as the blades clenched in their hands, caught his attention.

Wrap your sleeves around your palms. Kang Xu carefully pulled a plum-shaped dart from the corpse, looked at it carefully, and his face instantly became solemn.

He found that this dart was exactly the same as the dart on Li Canghai's body.

In addition, the blades held by the corpses also showed that these dead people were not from the Central Plains, but from Dongying!

Kang Xu instantly thought that the Dongying people who assassinated Li Canghai did not expect that the Dongying people who had been looking for a few days would die tragically here.

Moreover, judging from the situation at the scene, it seems to be a fire fight between Dongying people.

He glanced at Lu Jitong and said, "Lu Jitong, what is your relationship with these Dongying people?" ”

Lu Jitong had his hands tied behind his back, he stared at Kang Xu, and said seriously: "My lord, I can only tell you that some Dongying people have bad intentions, but not all. ”

After saying this, Lu Jitong simply closed his eyes, Kang Xu's brows furrowed, Lu Jitong had something to say, but he didn't finish the words, which was obviously giving him a problem.

"Escort him back to the yamen and keep him under strict guard!" Kang Xu stood up, he looked at the plum blossom dart in his hand, and said in a deep voice.

After receiving the order, the officials immediately escorted Lu Ji to the yamen.

Kang Xu ordered the body to be carried to Yizhuang for placement, and then pondered for a moment and walked straight to Tao's house.

The Tao family has already brought Tao Zhaoxue's body back to be decorated, and at this time, the Tao family is hanging, and there is no anger in the entire courtyard, and there is a sad atmosphere everywhere.

When Kang Xu arrived, Tao Jizhu was arranging Tao Zhaoxue's burial.

"Your Excellency, are you here?" Tao Jizhu's face was sad, he arched his hand at Kang Xu, and said hello weakly.

Kang Xu nodded and said, "People can't be resurrected after death, Master Tao, please mourn, is Gong Tao okay?" ”

"My father is overly sad, and he hasn't eaten a drop of water these days, hey~." Tao Jizhu let out a long sigh and said sadly.

Kang Xu was silent, the saddest thing in the world is nothing more than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, although Tao Youran dislikes the poor and loves the rich, but at this time he has regrets.

"Master Tao, I bother you to tell Tao Gong, just say that this official will find the murderer and give you justice."

Tao Jizhu sighed and said, "Lu Jitong has fled without a trace, how can he still show justice?" Now, we just want to put Zhaoxue into the ground as soon as possible, and hope that the adults will be fulfilled. ”

"Lu Jitong has been caught by this official, you can rest assured. As for Tao Zhaoxue, let her be buried in the ground. Kang Xu sighed in a low voice.

"Thank you, sir." Tao Jizhu bowed down and wept, he wiped away his tears, and a look of anger appeared on his face: "Lu Jitong is this beast, I'm going to kill him!" ”

As he spoke, Tao Jizhu was about to rush out of the house.

Kang Xu stopped him and said, "Master Tao, although Lu Jitong has been arrested, there are still many doubts in this case, and after this official investigates, he will give you an explanation." ”

"What else is there to check, it is clear that he killed Zhao Xue, a beast like this human-faced beast, he should be executed by Ling Chi!" Tao Zhenzhu's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth.

"I came here to investigate the mystery, as long as the evidence of Lu Jitong's guilt is confirmed, this official will bring him to justice." Kang Xu touched his chin and asked, "Master Tao, where is Dongmei?" ”

"Dongmei, she's sorting out Zhaoxue's clothes, please come with me, adult." Tao Zhenzhu exhaled deeply, forcibly cheered up, and led Kang Xu to the house.

In the main room, Susu was hanging, and there was a coffin in the middle, and next to the coffin, Dongmei seriously helped Tao Zhaoxue sort out her clothes.

When he approached the coffin, he could feel a coldness, Kang Xu raised his eyes and found that a lot of ice cubes had been placed next to Tao Zhaoxue. (To be continued.) )
