Both Master Yao and Liu Chongpin are not thin-faced people. Even if Tao Mo's table treats them indifferently and ignores them, they can still talk to themselves and enjoy themselves. But after a long time, seeing that the food on the plate is getting less and less, the topic is still going around and around, not getting to the point, Master Yao can't help feeling a little anxious.
He glanced sideways outside.
Two detectives were watching him eagerly.
Master Yao raised his hand.
The catcher was overjoyed and took his orders to go.
"What are you going to do?" Hao Guozi asked coldly.
Master Yao was taken aback, only to realize that the position of his raised hand was right at the back of Tao Mo's head. It looked like he was about to beat Tao Mo, so he hurriedly put down his hand, and said with a dry smile, "My shoulders are a little sore, I want to move it."
Hao Guozi murmured, "I'm sour, don't go home yet!"
Master Jin said: "If Master Yao is unwell, why don't you go home and rest early?" Although the words he used were much nicer, he still issued an order to evict the guest.
Master Yao will naturally not leave. He managed to recruit the great Confucianists in the city, but it hasn't worked out yet, so how can he just leave? He said: "It's still early, I'm not tired yet."
Gu Xiaojia put down his chopsticks, stared at the night outside, and said coldly: "There are more and more ignorant people these days!"
Liu Chongpin couldn't sit still, he kept looking at Master Yao with his eyes.
Why is Master Yao feeling better? Ever since he became the most powerful teacher around the magistrate, he has never tasted such a feeling of being ridiculed. But he knew better that he couldn't bear the cynicism at this time, and he might be punished by the magistrate after returning home.
He pretended to be ignorant and continued to chat about Tancheng's human customs.
Liu Chongpin was ready to leave. The purpose of his coming was Gu She, if he couldn't see Gu She, his stay would be in vain. It's just that Master Yao was the one who brought him here, and if Master Yao doesn't leave, it's not good for him to leave him alone, lest there will be suspicion. It's just that the other person is still sitting, but his energy to speak is far less than that of just now.
After sitting for a while, Tao Mo and the others finished their meal.
Old Tao estimated that it was about the time, and said to Tao Mo: "Young Master, don't you have to get up early tomorrow? Why don't you go to bed early?"
Although Tao Mo was not very smart, he still had this wink, and agreed, "Okay."
Master Yao was in a hurry, and said, "Lord Tao, stay a step!"
Tao Mo stopped to look at him.
Master Yao's thoughts changed, and he blurted out: "Master Tao doesn't want to know, who sued you?"
Master Jin, Lao Tao and others all looked at him.
At this time, Master Yao calmed down instead. He calmly said: "I'm ashamed to say it. Before I met Mr. Tao, I believed his one-sided words, and I had some prejudice against Mr. Tao, so I misunderstood Young Master Gu. Now that I think about it, I really regret it. Fortunately, the heavens Now, the matter finally came to light, and Master Tao was saved from this innocent disaster."
Tao Mo said: "I don't know who filed this complaint, but what he said was not wrong. I was indeed not present when the autopsy was performed. And the money under my hand, although it was not my intention, was eventually taken. If the prefect wants to arrest me again, I will have no complaints."
"Master Tao is just joking." Master Yao said, "The matter has come to light. Although Master Tao made a mistake, it was only a minor mistake. That person turned his small mistake into a big one. It is clearly a public revenge, and he has other plans."
Master Jin asked cautiously: "I don't know who the person Master Yao is talking about?"
Master Yao lowered his voice and said, "I didn't know about this, and the prefect didn't want to tell me. I told you today, and I ask you to keep it a secret."
Master Jin, Lao Tao and others clearly knew what he wanted to say in their hearts, but they just made this gesture of charity, secretly amused in their hearts, but on the surface they continued to act cooperatively: "It's natural. Don't worry, master." .”
Master Yao said: "Actually, that person is... Cui Jiong, the canon historian of Tanyang County."
Master Jin shook his head secretly. I think that Cui Jiong has been in Tanyang County for so many years and has changed so many county magistrates, but he has been standing on the position of classic history, which shows his ability. I didn't want to capsize the boat in the gutter this time, not to mention offending Tao Mo and Gu She, but also hooking up with such a villain who turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. It can be said that he was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness.
Seeing that they were all calm, Master Yao felt a little cold in his heart. Could it be that they already knew? Then can't I forget this favor? With one less chip in his hand, he can only hope that those great scholars can impress Gu She.
Perhaps his urgency in his heart really brought those people here.
Seeing six literati who were half a century old enter the gate of the inn, Master Jin and Lao Tao knew what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. Gu Xiaojia couldn't stand it anymore and went upstairs.
As soon as the scribe entered the door, he looked around excitedly, but he couldn't find it, so he reluctantly talked to Master Yao.
Master Yao stood aside, watching in his heart, his heart was full of anger, but he greeted them quietly on his face, until they asked about Gu She, he pointed at Tao Mo and said, "I want to see Mr. Gu, but I want to see you?" Master Tao introduced it."
Tao Mo said: "Xian's body is injured, so it's inconvenient to get out of bed."
The word Xianzhi lit up the eyes of several great scholars like a flame. They hurriedly said that it doesn't matter, they are here to visit the sick.
Master Jin saw that Master Yao was watching with his hands on the sidelines, so he stood up and said with a smile, "Young Master Gu needs to recuperate, so we dare not disturb him."
The great Confucians were somewhat displeased.
Although they admired Gu She's talent and learning, but after all, they had a bit of literati's arrogance, and they thought they were Gu She's elders. It was enough face to visit Gu She in person. It would be too frivolous for Gu She to stay behind closed doors!
Master Jin comforted him again and again.
Liu Chongpin leaned towards Tao Mo suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Master Tao, it's hard for us to be so painstaking, please introduce him for us. If it succeeds, then Chongpin will have no regrets in this life."
He was so close, his shoulders were touching his shoulders, the breath of every word was blowing against his ears, it was warm and itchy, and his face couldn't help turning red again. "I can't do this."
Seeing that his tone was loose, Liu Chongpin was overjoyed, and his voice became more gentle, and said: "Just please pass the message on your behalf. If Mr. Gu really doesn't want to see us..." He dragged his voice, and the unfinished words were full of grievances and helplessness.
Tao Mo frowned. In his heart, he was extremely unwilling to disturb Gu She, but after thinking about it, he felt that they came to find Gu She after all, and he should not make up his own mind on this matter, it should be passed on. He thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I'll go ask, just wait a moment."
Seeing him going upstairs, Master Jin wanted to stop him, but when he turned around, Old Tao grabbed his arm.
Tao Mo came to Gu's shooting room, and Gu Xiaojia was lying outside. Seeing him coming, he didn't even move, and there was a snort that sounded like contempt from his nose. This is not the first time Tao Mo has received this kind of treatment, and without thinking about it, he went into the back room and said to Gu She: "The Great Confucianism of Qincheng is downstairs and wants to see you."
Gu She said indifferently: "I don't see you."
Tao Mo moved his footsteps, and added, "Those people are very sincere." He said this sentence not to plead for Liu Chongpin and the others, but to discuss the matter on a case-by-case basis, and he didn't want Gu She to miss the opportunity. So after he finished speaking, if Gu She was still indifferent, he originally planned to leave, but Gu Xiaojia who was lying outside suddenly sat up and said loudly: "Don't you think I didn't see it. What is very sincere, it is clearly Look at that Liu who looks like a human being, he has a crooked idea and wants to curry favor with him!"
Tao Mo's head slammed, and his face immediately turned red, "I didn't."
Gu Xiaojia stared at him coldly, and said, "You still said no. Do you think I didn't see you blushing when you looked at him?"
Tao Mo choked. He didn't know how to explain it. When facing a good-looking person, he couldn't help but want to take a few more glances, and his face would naturally turn red. But it is absolutely true that he has unreasonable thoughts about Liu Chongpin.
If it is true that he has unreasonable thoughts about who he is now, it is only...
He quietly looked at Gu She.
But he saw Gu She's face was unpredictable and deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that Gu She didn't respond, Gu Xiaojia cried out heartbroken, "Master, you do this for him, but you don't think he is a white-eyed wolf!"
Gu She didn't respond, but said to Tao Mo, "Let them in."
