Dongmei's face was sad, not afraid of the slightest chill, and seriously helped Tao Zhaoxue arrange her hair.

"Dongmei, the official has a few words to ask you, so come out." Kang Xu said casually.

Dongmei was stunned, she looked at Tao Jizhu, and when she saw Tao Jizhu nodding, she followed Kang Xu out in a panic.

Kang Xu was silent all the way, he walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

Dongmei lowered her head and followed him step by step, with a hint of panic in her eyes.

It wasn't until he came to a remote place that Kang Xu stopped.

"Dongmei, do you know what this official is looking for you?" Kang Xu asked lightly.

"Slave maid...... Ignorance. Dongmei said in a low voice.

"I don't know?" Kang Xu's eyes were slightly cold, he suddenly threw down his sleeves, and said sharply: "Dongmei, you are so bold, do you still want to deny it now?" Do you really think that the official does not know what you are doing? ”

Dongmei was startled, and she hurriedly said, "The slave doesn't know what the adult said. ”

Kang Xu snorted coldly and said, "It's a shame that you still defend him like this, but I don't know that he has already confessed to you." You conspired with him to kill your young lady, and all this was planned by you, and now that the matter is revealed, you still don't admit it? ”

Dongmei's body trembled involuntarily, and her breathing suddenly became rapid.

Kang Xu squinted his eyes, took Dongmei's look into his eyes, and continued: "You are beautiful, and you are not inferior to your young lady, but your family background is not as good as Tao Zhaoxue." You are comparable in appearance, but because of your different family backgrounds, you can only be a maid, she is silk and satin, and the stars are sought after, you have coarse tea and light rice, and no one cares. You have a grudge in your heart, so you have evil intentions. Conspired to kill your young lady, yes or no? ”

Dongmei's face suddenly turned pale, and Kang Xu was even more sure when he saw this.

Originally, he just wanted to deceive her, but he didn't want Dongmei's reaction to be so big, which made him even more sure of his guess.

Lu Jitong is right. He believed Dongmei too much, but ignored that Dongmei could also lie.

Dongmei said that Zhang Hebi and Tao Zhaoxue eloped, and no one else knew about it except them, so couldn't it be a lie?

Kang Xu also suspected this, so he deliberately deceived her with words.

If Dongmei really lied, she must be closely related to this case, as long as she deceived her with words, she would definitely show her feet. And Fang Cai Dongmei's reaction confirmed his guess in his heart.

Dongmei's face was pale, and her breathing became extremely irregular, clearly indicating that there was a ghost in her heart.

Kang Xu knew that this was the most critical time, and she would only give a complete explanation if she completely broke the defense line in her heart.

Thinking of this, Kang Xu's eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "Okay, since you don't speak." Then let the official tell you again, you said that Tao Zhaoxue and Zhang Hebi eloped and no one else knows. Actually, you're lying. You secretly replaced their letters and gave the real letters to the murderer, right? ”

Dongmei's face was ugly, her eyes were extremely frightened, she suddenly knelt on the ground and cried, "My lord." It was the slave who killed the young lady, and the slave deserved to die, but the slave and the maid were not jealous of the young lady. Miss treats me like a sister, how can I be jealous of Miss? ”

Dongmei's eyes were full of tears, and her eyes were full of remorse. She cried whining: "My lord, the slaves and maids are all forced to be helpless, but the slaves and maids really don't want to kill the miss, and the slaves and maids don't know that he will kill the miss!" ”

Kang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and shouted: "Explain everything you have done, whether you are guilty or not, this official has his own judgment." ”

Dongmei knelt on the ground and cried with tears in her eyes: "As the adults said, it was I who replaced the letter agreed between Miss and Zhang Gongzi. On that day, the young lady decided to elope with Zhang Gongzi, and the time was originally set for the ugly time. But then the young lady was worried that she would be caught up by the master, so she advanced the time by an hour. When I took Miss's letter to Zhang Gongzi, I was discovered by Lu Gongzi, who somehow learned that Miss was going to elope and forced me to tell the truth. Then he instructed me to replace the letter with the letter that the young lady had abolished. ”

Dongmei's eyes were hazy with tears, and she cried regretfully: "But my lord, I didn't know that Lu Gongzi would kill Miss!" If I knew that he was plotting against Miss, I would have died, and I would not have betrayed Miss! ”

"The young man you are talking about is Lu Jitong?" Kang Xu asked with his hands behind his back.

"Exactly." Dongmei nodded.

Kang Xu paced a few steps, and he suddenly said, "What is the relationship between you and Lu Jitong?" Why do you listen to him? ”

Dongmei's fingers kept stirring the corners of her clothes, a sadness appeared on her face, and after hesitating for a moment, she made up her mind to cry: "The slave's father is addicted to alcohol and gambling, and owes Lu Gongzi a lot ......of money, and the slave's family is poor. One day, Lu Jitong went to collect debts, and saw that the slave and maid were quite beautiful, and forcibly took away the slave and maid's body ....... ”

Kang Xu's brows furrowed, from what Dongmei said, this Lu Jitong is simply a beast, and even saying that he is a beast is simply insulting the word beast.

"The slave didn't want to agree to him, but he threatened my father's life, saying that if I didn't do it, I would kill my father. The slave was afraid, and thought that nothing should happen if she just exchanged letters, so she agreed. Unexpectedly, this beast actually killed the young lady in such a cruel way. I killed Miss, I'm sorry Miss ....... Dongmei knelt on the ground and sobbed.

"Let me ask you, what is the matter with the exchange of letters?" Kang Xu asked.

This question has been bothering him, leaving him puzzled, and although he heard some clues from Dongmei's words, he still wants to know if the truth is the same as he guessed.

"Back to my lord, the letter was written by Miss before, and it was indeed written by Miss Miss, but after it was replaced, Zhang Gongzi didn't notice it." Dongmei sobbed.

"Sure enough." Kang Xu sighed secretly, it turned out that this was the real reason for losing an hour.

Whether it was the agreement of the son or the agreement of the ugly time, these two letters were from Tao Zhaoxue's hands, and Dongmei exchanged the letters privately, and Zhang Hebi naturally went an hour late.

"My lord, the slave knows that she is wrong, since she knows that the young lady was killed, the slave and the maid have trouble sleeping and eating, the slave and the maid are sorry for the young lady, it was the slave and the maid who killed the young lady, and the slave and the maid are willing to confess." Dongmei knelt on the ground, kowtowed and whimpered.

Kang Xu stomped back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "This official asks you, if you are asked to identify Lu Jitong, are you willing?" ”

Dongmei burst into tears, bit her lip and said, "The slave is willing to identify." ”

Kang Xu nodded, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, you can take care of your young lady's funeral, and the official will send you to testify at any time." (To be continued.) )
