Mu Chun held Tao Mo by his arm and told Hao Guozi to pour hot water. Hao Guozi poured hot water, and saw Mu Chun walking towards the bedroom with Tao Mo on his arm, and couldn't help but wonder: last time when he was drunk, Mu Chun picked Tao Mo up without any qualms, why did he just support him this time
Mu Chun helped Tao Mo onto the bed, took out a small paper bag from his arms, opened it, took out a pill, and gave Tao Mo to take it.
After taking it, Tao Mo asked, "Is this the Huayun Pill?"
"Yes. The pigeon can only take one pill at a time, and Elder Lu will bring another pill later. After taking two pills, you will be fine. Now it is best to rest in bed, and it would be better if you can fall asleep."
"Elder Lu?"
Seeing Tao Mo's confusion, Mu Chun hurriedly answered, "It's Lao Tao. His surname is Lu."
Tao Mo knew the previous situation, so he understood it all at once. Hao Guozi was at a loss.
Master Jin then came in with the file, and Tao Mo wanted to take it. Mu Chun stretched out his hand to block it: "It's the same when I look at it tomorrow."
Tao Mo said: "It's about 37 lives."
"37 lives have already died. If you look at the file now, can they come back to life?"
"No. But if I wait a moment later, it is possible for the real culprit to escape."
Mu Chun looked at Tao Mo unexpectedly: "I didn't expect you to be able to see that Hao Yi is not the real murderer."
"Hao Yi is not the real murderer?!" Tao Mo was shocked, "Why?"
Mu Chun wondered, "Don't tell me you believe what the magistrate said, and think that Hao Yi is the real murderer?"
Tao Mo shook his head: "I haven't confirmed anything. I won't confirm anything until I have enough evidence."
"You lie down first, you don't need to read this file. Hao Yi can't be the real murderer."
"What did you see?"
"Do you remember that I said that the cause of death of 37 people was being crushed by someone's palm?"
"Um."
"To be able to shatter a person's heart veins with one palm, one must have great achievements in the palm technique. That Hao Yi has no martial arts. On the contrary, that Kuang Si is just a master."
Tao Mo was shocked: "Then I need to read the files even more. This Kuang Si is a witness. How did he become a witness? I have to find out his flaws before I can continue to detain him in Danyang."
"If you don't close the case, Kuang Si will have to stay in Danyang."
Before Mu Chun could speak, Gu She's voice sounded, he walked in unhurriedly, frowned and looked at Tao Mo.
Tao Mo asked, "What if he escapes?"
Gu She said indifferently: "He is only a witness at the moment, if he escapes, it proves that he has a guilty conscience, and it also proves that he is the real murderer."
"But at that time he had already escaped, so where are we going to catch him?"
"The one who caught him will catch him. You just need to rest now."
"I can rest after reading the file."
Gu She's sharp gaze came, and Tao Mo couldn't help but shrink back from the quilt.
But his eyes were still fixed on the file, and his voice was like a gnat: "I'll finish reading it in a while."
Gu She looked at Mu Chun impatiently: "I heard that Mr. Mu can use acupuncture points?"
Mu Chun looked at Tao Mo, he seemed a little hesitant.
Gu She grabbed the file and sat down on the chair with a bang: "I'll read the file for you, you rest immediately!"
Tao Mo could only close his eyes.
The eyes are closed, but the person cannot sleep.
37 lives were lost in the Kuang Mansion, which is too tragic. Kuang Aishan, who had hooked up with him, died just like that in his mother's arms.
He hasn't had time to fulfill the contract yet.
Also, for the past three days, Gu She has been in the county office almost all the time. Gu She's kindness to him is like beads on an abacus, it is so clear and clear, it makes him often feel that Gu She also has intentions for him.
Thinking of this, he quietly opened his eyes a little, looking at Gu She who was flipping through the files under the window. Gu She's profile is as delicate and cold as a knife cut, and even the eyelashes are aggressive like pine needles.
But such a person would treat him so tenderly.
He was thinking wildly, Gu Sheruo felt it, and turned his head to look. He quickly closed his eyes.
After a long time, no movement was heard, Gu She must have been concentrating on reading the file again, right? He quietly opened his eyes again.
The table was empty, neither Gu She nor the dossier was there.
Feeling lost, he clutched the corner of the quilt and closed his eyes boredly.
Finally fell asleep this time.
After he woke up, it was already the second day, and it really felt completely different from yesterday.
Before taking Huayun Wan, he had taken Kuang Dongyi's prescription for two days, but the pain was not as severe as the first day.
After taking the Huayun Pill, he was able to get up by himself after just sleeping.
Although it is still very inconvenient to move, I can walk with the stick.
Gu She, Mu Chun, Master Jin, Hao Guozi, and Gu Xiaojia all came to surround him.
Gu Shedao: "The so-called dossiers are all clichés. The details of what Hao Yi has undertaken are different from the scene."
Mu Chun nodded: "Hao Yi doesn't have martial arts, so he can't be the real murderer."
Hao Guozi asked, "Then why did he plead guilty?"
Master Jin stroked his beard: "Maybe he was bought out."
Tao Mo anxiously said, "Then what should I do? I'll go find him and ask him to tell the truth."
Gu She raised his hand to stop him: "If he can plead guilty, there must be a reason for him to plead guilty. If you retract the confession now, I'm afraid it will hurt your family. If you ask rashly, not only will you not get the truth, but you will startle the snake."
"Snake?" Tao Mo asked.
"The snake is the real murderer, and it may be the magistrate."
"What?!" Tao Mo was shocked, "You said the magistrate..."
Master Jin nodded: "With such an obvious flaw, the prefect was able to hand over Hao Yi to Danyang as the real murderer, which shows that the prefect knew that Hao Yi was not the real murderer, but the prefect was also bribed."
Tao Mo couldn't believe it: "How can this be so? As the chief of a government, he is on behalf of the emperor to exercise love for the people and exercise power for the law. How can people's lives be ignored? Turning black and white?"
Master Jin said meaningfully: "My lord continues to take care of me, I'm afraid that my lord's safety will also..."
Tao Mo bit his lips and thought for a long time, he stood up with his staff on his staff, and bowed deeply to Master Jin.
Master Jin was startled, and quickly stood up to avoid it: "Why is this so, my lord?"
Tao Mo said: "Since there is a danger to the safety of this matter, Tao Mo asks Master to go home for a while to recuperate."
Master Jin looked at him in disbelief: "Are you going to take care of this?"
Tao Mo nodded: "How can you allow innocent people to be the scapegoat while letting the real culprit go unpunished?"
Gu She frowned and said, "The person who died is already dead, so what's the point of dying a hundred times?"
Tao Mo shook his head: "What about Hao Yi?"
"A pathetic person must have something to hate. Since he can be bought, it means that he doesn't want to live. Why do you run for him, and even risk your own safety?"
"Although he may be hateful, neither you nor I know, it's just a guess. Maybe he is just a helpless poor man. But even if he is hateful, he is not guilty of death."
Gu She's face was gloomy: "Then Hao Yi is just an ordinary old man who couldn't be more ordinary. In this world, there is not much more than him, and there is not much less than him. Why do you have to reverse the case for him? Besides, how do you know that he is not the same?" Heinous?"
"Even if he committed a heinous crime, he should be convicted of the crime he committed, instead of giving him a crime he did not commit!"
"How do you know that Kuang Dongyi deserves to die?"
"Even if Kuang Dongyi deserves to die, he should be judged by the law. He should be convicted for the crimes he committed, announced to the world, and executed in a fair manner." He took a breath and continued, "And that Kuang Aishan and the 34 servants, All guilty of capital crimes?"
The arm that Mu Chun raised just now fell awkwardly.
Tao Mo saw: "Mr. Mu, please tell me."
Mu Chun rubbed his nose: "It's nothing. Seeing you and Gu She talking fiercely, do I still want me to kill the real murderer and vent my anger for you? After hearing what you said later, I know you don't need it."
Tao Mo cupped his hands and saluted Tian: "I am the magistrate of a county. If even I can't uphold the justice of the law, what's the use of the law? How can there be justice in this world? And Hao Yi, no matter how ordinary he is, , is also a life. Everyone has only one life. For others, this life is one more and one less, but for himself and his family, there is only one life!"
After he finished speaking impassionedly, he realized that Gu She turned around at some point and didn't even look at him.
His heart suddenly jumped.
The last time I had a falling out with Gu She was because of the case of a female dispute between Tong Yu's family. In fact, having known Gu She for so long, he probably also figured out Gu She's temperament. Gu She is too lazy to care about things that have nothing to do with him. I used to control it because he wanted to control it; this time I didn't want him to control it, but I was actually worried about him so I didn't let him control it.
He understood Gu She's kindness, but he couldn't do what Gu She did. Ever since Tao Zhengchun was wronged, his wish in life was to be a good official and not make anyone wronged.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "I want to be a good official, so that no one will be wronged."
There was a long silence.
Master Jin looked expectantly at Gu She and Mu Chun, hoping that someone could change Tao Mo's decision.
Mu Chun supported his forehead with one hand, and gently tapped his fingers on the table with the other hand, without being anxious or restless, neither anxious nor slow.
Gu She seemed to freeze, and remained motionless for a while.
Suddenly, Gu She raised his head, and there was a faint glint of water in his eyes. He stood up abruptly, and said in a very soft voice: "If you want to be a good official, I will help you."
Before Tao Mo could speak, he left.
Gu Xiaojia glanced at Tao Mo and followed him out.
Master Jin sighed helplessly, and looked at Gu She's back with deep meaning: "Then your lord needs a litigator to fight for Hao Yi."
"A litigator?" Hao Guozi was finally able to interject, "Isn't Gu She a litigator?"
Master Jin shook his head and said, "Gu She never goes to court."
Hao Guozi wondered, "Then why is he a lawyer?"
Master Jin said: "There are litigators who don't know what to do in a lawsuit, so they bring money to ask him for advice, and he will teach the litigator how to win an argument."
Hao Guozi nodded: "That's good, I won't lose."
Master Jin glanced at him: "Although Gu She hasn't gone to court, the litigator he pointed out represents him. If that litigator loses, it is equivalent to him losing."
"Then—" Hao Guozi asked curiously, "Has he ever lost? I think he is so smart, he must have never lost."
Master Jin laughed and said: "I lost once, the case of Tong Yu's two women's disputes, have you forgotten?"
Hao Guozi let out an "oops", realizing that she might have said something wrong, and looked at Tao Mo anxiously.
Listening to the conversation between Master Jin and Hao Guozi, Tao Mo felt more and more sorry for Gu She. He is such a person who looks like a banished fairy, and he has lost a lawsuit by himself, and is also serving as a military adviser to the county government.
However, he didn't change his mind just because he was sorry for Gu She, he was just worried that Gu She would fall out with him again.
Tao Mo's worry did not last long.
In the evening, Gu Xiaojia said: "My son said, let Mr. Tao rest at ease. In order to clear Hao Yi from the suspicion, you came to find a lawyer. Although you will not go to court, you will give advice behind your back."
Tao Mo let out a long breath, and fell asleep peacefully. He believes that with the help of Gu She, Hao Yi will be able to get rid of the suspicion; with the help of Mu Chun, the real culprit will be revealed.
Between the two, he subtly trusts Gu She more.
