Love is More Than a Word

Doubt One 118

Finally, he rushed back to Tanyang County at sunset.

Gu She's carriage put Tao Mo down at the gate of Yamen, and said that he would pick someone up when he was ready, and then he went back to the house.

Seeing the long-lost county government office, Tao Mo burst into warmth.

But the staff at the entrance of the county government office saw Tao Mo, but immediately shook his head and ran inside, and the other left looked at Tao Mo excitedly, "Adult!"

Tao Modao: "Is everything in the county government okay?"

"This..." The servant stopped talking.

Tao Mo gave a bad hunch, "What happened?"

"Dongjia!" Under the guidance of the officer, Master Jin hurriedly came out and said, "Dongjia was tired all the way, hard work!"

Tao Mo busy said: "It's not hard. Master Jin is working hard for the county government's affairs day and night, and it is even harder."

Master Jin smiled bitterly: "There is a trust from the owner."

Tao Mo’s bad hunch came true, "What happened?"

Master Jin looked at both sides of the door and said, "Let's go in and talk about it in detail."

Tao Mo came to the study with him full of curiosity, but saw that Cui Jiong was also in the study. Seeing Tao Mo come in, Cui Jiong got up and saluted.

"What happened?" Tao Mo asked uncontrollably.

Master Jin said: "This is a long story. Half a month ago, on April 12, Yang Liu and his daughter Zou Qiong and his son-in-law Liu Bao sued their husband Yang Tianyuan to withdraw his daughter Zou Qiong's dowry."

Tao Mo was confused, "Yang Liu's husband-in-law's surname Yang is good, why is her daughter's surname Zou?"

Cui Jiong explained: "Yangliu's former husband-in-law's surname is Zou, and her husband-in-law's son-in-law died. She dragged her daughter and was unable to maintain her independence, so she took the property left by her ex-husband and married Yang Tianyuan. Fortunately, the money is Zou Qiong’s dowry, which is temporarily kept by Yang Tianyuan. It will be returned to Zou Qiong’s parents."

Tao Modao: "So that is the case. This case is very well judged, and when I go to church tomorrow, let Yang Tianyuan return the dowry."

Master Jin and Cui Jiong glanced at each other.

Master Jin coughed and said: "There is more to this matter."

Tao Modao: "Master, please."

Master Jin said: "According to the law of China, from April 1 to July 30 is the busy period of farming, Yamen does not accept family marriage, fields and other details, only accepts serious cases."

Tao Mo frowned.

Master Jin said: "Besides, the owner was not in the government office, so I made my own claim and dismissed their paper form with this article."

Tao Mo saw his expression slightly uneasy, and asked, "What happened to it?"

Cui Jiong said: "The Yangliu Family saw that the Yamen did not accept the details, so he turned his heart into a well!"

Tao Mo screamed "Ah".

Master Jin hurriedly said: "Fortunately, someone else found that it was rescued, but it hurt his head, and it didn't matter."

Tao Mo was relieved now, "Why is this so? It's not too late to wait until July 30."

Master Jin said: "Because Yang Tianyuan wanted the daughter-in-law of a family and used Zou Qiong's dowry as a promise of engagement, the marriage date was the third day of July. And Liu Bao, Zou Qiong's husband-in-law, repeatedly forced their mother and daughter to come forward. He asked for a dowry, and even threatened that if Yang Tianyuan didn’t hand over the dowry, he would ask for the gift."

Tao Mo shook his head straight, "Yang Tianyuan and Liu Bao are both abominable. Yangliu's mother and daughter are very pitiful."

Master Jin said: "What is the intention of the owner?"

Tao Modao said: "I think the reason why I didn't take the case of the law during the busy farming season is because people are not able to concentrate on the busy farming. But how can I concentrate on other things like the mother and daughter of Yangliu? Well can save once, but can't save my life. To save her, I need to sort out the case as soon as possible. Since I promised the emperor to take good care of Tanyang County, I must do it!"

"emperor?"

Master Jin and Cui Jiong exclaimed in unison.

Tao Mo scratched his head and said: "Long talk after this matter, let's talk about Yangliu first."

Master Jin said: "If the Dong Family decides to accept the case, I suggest that the Dong Family should be fast or not slow, early or late, quiet or not."

Cui Jiong summed up in a word: "Master said secretly trial?"

Master Jin said: "Exactly. Although the Dong family is out of kindness, it is hard to guarantee that no one will take me to make a fuss about the law. Therefore, we have to hurry up and settle the case before they make an article."

Cui Jiong felt that Master Jin looked at him without any trace after his speech, and his heart was immediately open, knowing that the "someone" in his mouth included himself. He was busy saying: "Master Jin said what he said. Although Tanyang County is now in good weather, the county government is committed, but it is hard to guarantee that there will be no unexpected accidents, so adults still decide to fight quickly."

Tao Mo saw that both of them said so, and he settled the matter now. He remembered Gu She came to pick him up when he had said, so he briefly asked a few official duties and hurried out.

Sang Xiaotu really waited at the door in a carriage.

Looking back on the carriage, he found Gu She was waiting for dinner.

Tao Mo was both distressed and overwhelmed, saying, "It's not early, why wait for me on an empty stomach?"

Gu She lazily said: "Who says I am fasting?"

Tao Mo only noticed that there was a plate of snacks in front of him. "Actually, if you are hungry, eat it first."

Gu She sandwiched a piece of braised pork in his bowl and said, "I am not married to eat alone."

Tao Mo smelled the smell of meat, and his heart was sweet, and even the entanglement of a thorny case in the county government office was forgotten.

After finishing the meal, a chess board was placed between the two.

Tao Mo couldn't help talking about the case, and then waited for Gu She's opinion.

Gu She looked at the chessboard intently, seeming to ignore everything else.

Seeing that he was silent, Tao Mo was slightly uneasy and asked, "Is it wrong to do this?"

"Where is wrong?" Gu She asked.

Tao Mo couldn't say it, and he said for a long time: "The court originally set aside the case of the busy season of the farm, and it was not allowed to accept cases such as details. I did not comply with the law of the court."

Gu Shedao: "So what?"

"This..." Tao Mo said. If he knew how, then he would not make such a decision.

Gu She raised his eyes and glanced at him: "What do you think in your heart, but it's okay, don't worry about it. Anyway, I don't have any plans to write a book off this life and this world."

Tao Mo's face was red, and he whispered, "I just didn't speak until I saw you, thinking it was inappropriate."

Gu She said indifferently: "You have never been in trouble or encountered difficulties, why should I speak?"

Tao Mo's hand lifted Heizi suddenly in the air.

Gu She saw him staring at himself, holding his hand and shaking with no movement.

Tao Mo's fingers loosened and black spots fell on the chessboard.

Gu She continued to play chess on his own.

"The reason why I want to be a good official is not only to fulfill my father's wishes, but also for myself. I don't want anyone in this world to encounter such unfortunate things as me. But now I think clearly, it is actually my father who is really unfortunate He has accumulated so many good things in his life, but he has a son like me." Tao Mo paused, staring closely at Gu Shedao, "I am lucky. Because there is a father like him, and you are a lifelong partner." !"

Gu She raised her eyebrows, "Did you find out now?"

"Uh." Tao Mo's head, which had never been so aura, suddenly flashed a aura of light, "I just, I know more deeply."

Gu Shedao said: "Every welcome to beat the horse."

Tao Modao: "The words of the heart."

"Even so," Gu She pointed at the board, "I won't let the water go."

"This is nature." Tao Mo picked up a black spot with a smile, and was about to play, and found that the situation on the chessboard had changed rapidly, not the situation he had seen before, "This, this chess I have played for a while. ?"

Gu She said: "Just now."

Tao Mo remembered the one he had dropped, and the cold sweat suddenly fell down.

Gu Shebolan jokingly said, "Is it self-destructive? Isn't this kind of trick called Zhizhi's death?"

Tao Mo thought hard for a long time, and he confessed: "There are some ways to do this, but I won't."

Gu She had a faint smile in the corner of her mouth, and tapped her fingers gently on the chessboard, "Come again."

"Okay." Tao Mo packed the chessboard excitedly.

Gu She drinks tea slowly.
