Thinking of him as an imposing elder of the Demon Sect, how could he be reduced to the role of a thug guarding the courtyard
Lao Tao was very unhappy in his heart, and he said calmly: "Mr. Gu, does it mean that you want to know the law and break the law?"
Gu Sheshi calmly said: "You are the one who did it, what has it to do with me?"
Tao Mo said: "You can't say that. If old Tao misses, the consequences will be unimaginable." Even though I knew Gu She was a human being, I still felt unspeakably sad when I heard him say such cold-hearted words with my own ears. . What's more, the irrelevant person he said was the person he cared about the most in his heart.
Seeing Tao Mo refute Gu She for himself, the old Tao was very happy, and he didn't even care about his contempt, and said with a smile: "It's not that I won't rob the prison, but I haven't reached the stage of robbing the prison yet. Mr. Gu is Mr. Yichui's high-achieving student, He is quick-witted and eloquent, if Mr. Gu is involved, it will not be difficult to reverse the case."
Gu She said: "I never go to court."
Lao Tao pretended to be surprised and said, "Since Mr. Gu won't go to court, why did he join Mr. Yichui's sect?"
Gu She said: "You have peerless martial arts, why did you enter the Tao Mansion?"
Old Tao narrowed his eyes.
It seems that Gu She's previous provocations were all because of this sentence. Gu She is not someone who meddles in other people's business. For example, when he brought Tao Mo to the inn, he didn't say much, but now he targets himself everywhere. Could it be because he showed his martial arts, which aroused his suspicion
Old Tao secretly speculated on his thoughts, and said in a neutral manner: "Master Tao has kindness to me. Could it be that Mr. Yichui also has kindness to you?"
Gu She said: "I admire Mr. Yihammer's talent."
Both of them spoke impeccably, but others were nervous when they saw it.
Master Jin stood up to smooth things over and said, "Let's get down to business, let's think about how to help that woodcutter."
Tao Mo asked in surprise, "Master also agrees to help him?"
Master Jin smiled wryly and said: "The matter has come to this, can we still say no?" Tao Mo is his boss, if he wants to help, he can only follow. In fact, many people don't like the masters in the yamen, thinking that they work for the tiger and domineering, but they don't know that the reason why they can work for the tiger is because the squatting inside is just a tiger. Whether the master is good or bad depends mostly on the attitude of the county magistrate. Of course, there are also masters who evade the county magistrate, which is very rare.
Tao Mo said: "Then according to Master, how to reverse the case?"
Mr. Jin said: "It is not difficult to overturn the case. This is a murder case. It will be reported to the magistrate first, and then it will be sent to the governor for review. If they all find it correct, it will be sent to the capital. The more people watching here The more people there are, the more chances of overturning the case will naturally be.”
Tao Mo said: "Since that's the case, let's find the magistrate first."
Gu She said: "No, you have to find the county magistrate first."
Tao Mo said in a daze, "But the county magistrate has clearly settled the case."
Master Jin nodded and said: "I am strictly prohibited by the law from appealing to higher levels. If you want to overturn the case, you have to start from the county magistrate. If he judges unfairly, you can appeal."
Tao Mo was taken aback when he heard that, "Then what should we do now?"
Mr. Jin said: "Please ask the litigator to write the petition."
Everyone looked at Gu She. Although he does not go to court, it is not difficult to find a colleague to take this case.
Gu She did not refuse, and explained a few words to Gu Xiaojia.
With a reluctance on his face, Gu Xiaojia pulled Sang Xiaotu aside, and after a long time of persuasion, he left uneasy.
Tao Mo said: "I don't know when Gu Xiaojia will be able to invite the litigator back, why don't we take a rest first?"
Master Jin said: "You can't rest."
"Why?" Tao Mo asked nervously. Could it be that they have been targeted
Master Jin said: "Since the master wants to reverse the case, he must produce evidence to reverse the case. Otherwise, even if the litigator is eloquent, it will be useless if he cannot go to court."
Old Tao said: "You mean, the county magistrate will not accept this case?"
Master Jin nodded and said, "Unless there is new evidence or the prisoner retracts the confession, the county magistrate can refuse to accept it."
Lao Tao pondered, "Actually, it's not difficult to get the criminal to retract his confession."
"It is not difficult to retract the confession, but it is useless." Master Jin said, "I have taken so many cases, and I have never reversed the case based on the prisoner's one-sided statement. People are afraid of death, and prisoners are human, so no matter how much crime they admit Happy, as time goes by, the fear of death will become deeper and deeper, and then they will slowly think of various ways or excuses to overturn the confession. In this case, most of the county magistrates don’t believe it.”
Tao Mo said, "Then what new evidence do we need to find?"
Master Jin said: "It would be the best if we can find the suspect. If not, then find the reason why the woodcutter can't kill someone."
Hao Guozi clapped her hands and said, "For example, the evidence to prove that he was not there at that time."
Master Jin smiled and said, "That's it."
Tao Mo said, "Then, let's go find his two sons. Maybe they can testify."
Master Jin said: "The son is looking for, and it is best to have passers-by who have nothing to do with him. After all, the son is his blood relative, and it is possible to give false testimony for the sake of filial piety."
Hao Guozi snorted coldly, "Father acted as a scapegoat in order to pay off his gambling debts, but they never showed up. What kind of filial piety can such a person expect?"
Master Jin said: "Let's not rush to make a conclusion. It's better to find them and talk about right and wrong."
Old Tao said: "In this case, we will divide into two groups."
"It's not two ways, it's three ways." Mr. Jin said, "You look for evidence, and I'll look for people."
"Who?"
"Master Hou." Master Jin sighed, "He has already met me in the courtroom. If I don't go and say hello to him, I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicion. Besides, maybe I can still get it from his mouth." Check out some news."
Old Tao said: "Since this is the case, then we will divide into three groups. Young master, you..."
Tao Mo silently hit Gu She with both feet.
"You can go with me." Old Tao turned a blind eye, "Just ask Mr. Gu to go with Sang Xiaotu."
Gu She said lightly, "When did I say I'm going?"
Old Tao was suffocated, and then said harshly: "In this case, the young master and Hao Guozi went all the way to inquire about the crime. I went all the way to find his two sons." He paused, glanced at Gu She and said, "Young Master Gu, please rest well in the inn."
Gu She was noncommittal.
Master Jin and Lao Tao hurriedly left.
Tao Mo asked Hao Guozi to inquire about the route first. After asking, he was about to rent a carriage, but saw Gu's carriage parked leisurely in front of them. The driver is Sang Xiaotu.
The car door opened, Gu Sheduan sat inside, hooked his finger at him, "Come up."
Tao Mo climbed onto the carriage with hands and feet.
Hao Guozi originally wanted to go to the carriage with Tao Mo, but Sang Xiaotu grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"I don't know the way." Sang Xiaotu whispered.
Hao Guozi looked at the carriage, then at him, sighed silently, and took the reins.
In the carriage, Tao Mo struggled between Gu She's side and his previous throne, and finally chose the original throne.
"Didn't you say no?"
Gu She said slowly, "When did I say that?"
Tao Mo thought for a while, what he said seemed to be "When will I say I'm going?" That is to say, he neither said he was going nor said he would not go. He looked at him, with a faint joy in his heart, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "I thought you didn't want to meddle in this business."
"It's indeed an idle matter." Gu She said.
Tao Mo looked up at him, "Then why do you care?"
Gu She said: "When did I say I want to take care of it?"
Tao Mo was stunned again, "But you are not..."
"I'm just giving you a ride along the way."
Tao Mo sighed softly, "Actually, you shouldn't have been involved in this matter."
Gu She was silent.
"Maybe there will be danger." Tao Mo's voice was low, "That person must be rich and powerful if he can buy the notice county. He dared to kill Wanfeng, which shows that he is ruthless. If he really does it, I'm afraid it will hurt you."
Gu She said: "Since that's the case, why do you still bother with this nosy business?"
Tao Mo said without hesitation: "I said before, I want to be a good official."
"What you are doing now is not what a good official would do."
"Maybe." Tao Mo leaned his head against the wall of the car, shaking slightly as the wheels rolled, "Anyway, I want to save him."
The carriage fell silent.
Tao Mo felt drowsiness hit him, and was about to fall asleep, when he heard a cold male voice say, "I'll help you."
