Tao Mo bowed his head, pondered for a long time, and then quietly said: "How can you be worthy of the common people?" He has never read history, scriptures and schools of thought, but he also knows that there are only a handful of officials who can feel worthy of the common people throughout the ages. Let me ask, those who have studied sage books since childhood can't do it. How can they do it if they don't understand literature and law
Thinking about it, his face darkened again.
Gu She was not used to talking with him lying on his stomach, and wanted to make a quick decision, but now he had to hold back his temper and asked, "Have you ever heard of having a clear conscience?"
Tao Mo said: "I heard it." He never forgot. Therefore, although I don't read books, I can still speak some polite words, but sometimes I don't use them properly.
Gu Shedao: "Always ask your heart when doing things for others, naturally you have nothing to be ashamed of."
Tao Mo said, "That's all?"
Gu She said: "Otherwise, what do you think?"
Tao Mo's expression was very tangled, "If this is the case, wouldn't everyone be able to do it?"
Gu She said: "Do you think that everyone in the world can regard fame, fortune and power as floating clouds?"
Tao Mo said in a low voice, "I can't either."
Gu She said: "Compared with the common people? Which one is more important?"
Tao Mo savored it carefully, and after a long while, a light flashed in his eyes, as if enlightened, "I understand."
Gu She half-closed her eyes, "Know what?"
Tao Mo said: "Actually, to be a good official is to put the common people first and oneself second. Conscience first, fame and fortune last. Everything is done in accordance with the law and is impartial."
Gu She nodded in satisfaction and said, "Exactly, in short, it's just four words, impartial and selfless."
Unselfish.
Tao Mo felt that the four words that Gu She uttered lightly hit his soul like a bell, making his heart tremble, and the aftermath lingered for a long time.
"You might do it?" Gu She asked, but her face was determined.
Tao Mo said, "I'm afraid I'm powerless."
"I'm most afraid of powerlessness." Gu She said, "A newborn baby can only cry, how can he read and write when he becomes an adult? The same reason can be proved, all the officials in the world start from nothing, bit by bit, they start to become successful." All kinds of officials."
"All kinds of officials?"
"Integrity officials, corrupt officials, good officials, stupid officials... It's hard to describe in words, but you can only know by doing it."
Tao Mo said, "I want to be an upright and good official."
Gu She said: "The official has two mouths, but he didn't blow it out."
Tao Mo said, "I will try my best."
The corner of Gu She's mouth raised slightly.
He didn't smile much, but every time he did, he looked good as hell. Tao Mo looked at it and became a little crazy.
Gu She put away her smile.
Tao Mo was startled, "Does your butt hurt?"
Gu She was silent.
Tao Mo hastily stepped forward, wanting to visit, but felt that something was wrong, circling around in front of the bed like ants on a hot pan.
Gu She couldn't bear to watch, and said lightly, "It's okay."
"It's all me." Tao Mo squatted down slowly, keeping his eyes on Gu She's level, "If you didn't save me, you wouldn't have suffered this disaster."
"The sky is doomed, what does it have to do with you?" Gu She said expressionlessly.
Tao Mo said: "I don't want to be an official because I'm afraid of hurting others."
Gu She was silent for a while, then Fang said, "You think you've hurt me, so you don't want to be an official?"
Tao Mo only felt bitterness in his mouth, and said in a low voice: "It's not just you. There are also my father, Lao Tao, Hao Guozi..." Counting with fingers, he did a lot of harm.
Gu She said: "I don't know what happened to your father, but I can see that Lao Tao and Hao Guozi don't feel victimized."
Tao Mo blinked his slightly red eyes.
"If you want to say it," Gu She frowned slightly. He is not a person who likes to inquire about privacy, and it can even be said that he has no interest in most people's privacy. It's just that the other party was Tao Mo, he hesitated and said, "It doesn't matter if I listen."
Tao Mo hugged his knees, leaned back, sat on the ground with his chin resting on his knees, and narrated the events of that year.
This is the most hurtful and painful memory in his heart. There are his innocence, his ignorance, his ignorance, and the irreparable consequences caused by his innocence, ignorance and ignorance. He thought that if he mentioned it again, his heart would be so painful that he couldn't speak.
But when he actually said it, he realized that that memory had been engraved in his bones, so it was scarred and became an indelible mark, but it would not be bloodied by the knife like it was at the beginning.
Gu She listened quietly without interrupting.
It wasn't until Tao Mo talked about his father's last words that his voice was so choked up that he couldn't continue, then he said, "You have a good father."
Tao Mo buried his head in his knees, letting the tears keep falling from his eyes.
Gu She said: "So you shouldn't let him down."
Tao Mo's hands hugging his knees tightly.
"Revenge for him." Gu She said in a normal tone, "Bring Huang Guangde to justice."
Tao Mo raised his head, his tearful eyes lit up with flames, but there was a trace of uncertainty hidden in the flames. "I?"
Gu She said: "My revenge should be avenged by myself."
"But he is the magistrate."
"So what?" Gu She asked back.
Tao Mo said in a low voice, "That's a very big official."
Gu She said: "So what? One day, you will do more."
Tao Mo raised his head. The lingering tears in Nostalgia's eyes faded away Gu She's usual superior indifference, making her look hazy and gentle. He blurted out: "Will you stay by my side?" He spoke in a hurry, and only after he finished speaking did he feel that something was wrong, his face flushed instantly, his eyes blinked several times in a hurry, tears fell down, and his vision was clear. However, even looking at it this way, Gu She still looks very gentle.
"If this is your sincerity," Gu She said calmly, "Yes."
Can
Can you stay by his side
Is it a teacher? still…
Tao Mo felt that his dizzy head was messed up by his words, and he couldn't figure out any clues, so he could only stare blankly at Gu She, as if there was only one thing left to do in this world.
"Go and wash your face." Gu She regained his sanity.
Tao Mo raised his hand to wipe his face, his hand was wet, and the red tide that had not faded away deepened a little bit, he hurriedly stood up, took a step outside, then backed away, and asked in a low voice: "Your The injury..."
"It doesn't matter." Gu She was lying on her stomach, but her expression and demeanor were no different from sitting.
Tao Mo hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Can I still come to see you?"
Gu She looked at the expectant look in his eyes, and nodded slowly.
Tao Mo immediately grinned big, the corners of his mouth almost touching his ears, and went out happily.
In the corridor, Master Jin, Lao Tao and others saw his expression and knew that there must be a way for Gu She to shoot.
Sure enough, Tao Mo stood in front of Master Jin, bowed deeply, and said, "Master, please mention more in the future."
Master Jin turned sideways, avoiding his big gift, and said: "Why is this so? Could it be that you blamed me for not doing my best?"
Tao Mo hurriedly straightened up, waved his hands and said, "That's absolutely not my intention."
"Since I don't intend to do so, why bother to salute? Since I have received the salary of my master, I will naturally devote myself to my master." As he spoke, Master Jin stepped back half a step, and made a bow, "Before, I didn't think carefully enough to implicate my master. Please punish the owner."
Tao Mo helped him up, and said, "Master is too worried. This matter is caused by me, and has nothing to do with Master."
Master Jin said: "If it wasn't for me..."
Old Tao heard that the two were coming and going endlessly, so he couldn't help but interrupted: "In this case, why not let Master Jin be the host and hold an apology feast."
Master Jin smiled and said, "It should be so."
Tao Mo wanted to say more, but Lao Tao stopped him with his eyes.
Since Gu She was still lying on the bed, the apology feast had to be postponed. After all, Gu She was the biggest victim of the accident.
But they said that they had just stopped, but the prefect of Tancheng was very restless. He sent the yamen servant there with the intent of probing. He didn't want the yamen servant to be sent back so easily, and his heart became more and more uneasy.
The master didn't dare to go home, so he could only accompany him with a sad face.
In the end, the magistrate slapped the table and shouted: "It doesn't matter. I shake that Cui or something together with Huang Guangde, maybe it will be better."
The master hurriedly stopped him and said, "My lord, don't be reckless."
The magistrate glared at him, "Do you want me to sit and wait for death?"
"Then Gu Xianzhi's identity is not yet known. If it is false, wouldn't he offend Huang Guangde for nothing?" said the master.
The magistrate said: "How to verify the authenticity? Is it possible that I have to travel thousands of miles to ask Xiang Gu to verify it?"
The master knew that he was angry, so he didn't dare to play tricks, and said: "Gu Xian's calligraphy and painting are famous all over the world, but anyone who has studied calligraphy and painting can tell the real from the fake. If we can get that Gu She's calligraphy, we should use it Can verify the authenticity."
The magistrate's heart moved when he heard it, and said, "How can I get Gu She's words?"
The master said: "At this time, it is better to confess and be lenient than to use various means."
"You mean..."
The master said: "It's better for my lord to ask for a piece of writing openly. No matter what Tao Mo says, he is directly under the lord, and he will definitely not refute the face of the lord."
The magistrate thought it was reasonable, and said, "I leave this matter to you."
The master's face turned bitter, but he had no choice but to answer: "Yes." Now he only hoped that Gu She would stand far away, and he didn't hear that he was the one who persuaded the magistrate to move.
