14. Famous teachers and apprentices (5)

In fact, Master Jin was also shocked at the moment.

He finally understood why Tao Mo was particularly tolerant of the other party. From the man standing up just now, he realized that his real purpose was to anger Tao Mo. He thought he used himself as bait and made a trap to wait for Tao Mo to jump down. You know, in Tanyang County, where there were few mistakes in the county magistrates, as long as the county magistrates made mistakes, the subsequent criticism would definitely be endless. The reason why those county magistrates were transferred, dismissed, or even lost their lives was that they could not bear this trick. Unexpectedly, Tao Mo was prepared at the beginning and used one move to get back, making the man's calculations empty.

Thinking of this, Master Jin's eyes looked at Tao Mo very complicated.

Unexpectedly, he was so scheming and scheming at such a young age. If it were time to go, I was afraid that the officialdom would be just around the corner.

Tao Mo didn't know that Master Jin had thought so far in a short time. He had only one thought at the moment, that is... Miss Tong died unjustly? If she died unjustly, why was there no news about the Tong family? All parents in the world, how could Tong's father and mother force their daughter to death?

He got out of court, and this question was still circling in his mind, and even Hao Guozi called him never heard it.

"Young Master!" Hao Guozi finally grabbed him before he hit the pillar, and said angrily and funny, "What do you think of as if you are so enchanting?"

Tao Mo replied to the spirit: "I am thinking about Miss Tong."

Hao Guozi was happy at first, "Did the young master fall in love with a woman?" Then he felt sad again, "But that woman is dead."

Tao Mo said: "I have nothing wrong with her."

"Even if there is, I can't imagine it." Hao Guozi said, "But it's always a good thing for the young master to like women. I think Tanyang County is so big, and there are so many women who are not married. If you look at it more, you might like it."

"Nonsense! The woman in the boudoir can watch it just by wanting it." The one who scolded Lao Tao. He had just heard of the passing of Master Jin and was worried that Tao Mo would feel unfair and felt uncomfortable, so he rushed over, "I haven't gone to prepare breakfast yet."

Hao Guozi stuck out his tongue and ran away.

Lao Tao said to Tao Mo: "I don't know where that person comes from, so the young master doesn't have to take it to heart."

Tao Mo said: "Since that man dared to go to court, what he said must be true. Miss Tong may have died unjustly."

Lao Tao said: "Parents and children are the relatives of the world. If Miss Tong died unjustly, they would definitely seek justice for her. How could a strange man come to roar in the court?" In fact, he was a little dissatisfied with Tao Mo letting the man go away, but it was hard to say anything else.

Tao Mo shook his head and said, "If it is true as the man said, they join forces to die, then they will make it understand if they don't seek justice for her."

Lao Tao said: "But Cui Dianshi and the coroner have examined the body, and it is indeed unsuspecting."

Tao Mo thought for a while and said, "It's better for me to go to Tong Mansion in person."

Lao Tao was shocked, "What are you going to do with your young master?"

"Of course I'm going to ask about the case." Tao Mo said for granted, "As the official of Tanyang County, I should personally inquire about each case without any omission."

Lao Tao frowned and said, "No."

Tao Mo said in confusion: "Why not?"

Lao Tao said: "We have sent Cui Dianshi to investigate this case before, and we also concluded that Miss Tong had hanged herself. Now she has been reversing the case without any foundation and has been rashly, which is afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction from the Tong family."

"That's helpless." Tao Mo said, "I can't let Miss Tong be wronged Mo Bai."

"But the Tong Mansion and Mr. Yichu are in-laws after all."

“So what?”

Lao Tao had to make a clear statement, "First, Miss Tong hanged herself, was jointly recognized by the Tong family and Mrs. Yichu. Second, Miss Tong had not yet been married before her death, but a man came to beat the drum. If this matter was rumored, it would be harmful to Miss Tong's name."

Tao Mo suddenly woke up and said, "Oh no, I forgot to ask the man what his relationship was with Miss Tong."

Lao Tao said: "If you want to know, it's not difficult. Miss Tong's case has already caused a lot of storm in the city, but the man came to beat the drum today, which shows that he is not a local. Perhaps he came from another place after getting the news. As long as the young master sent someone to the inn in the city to inquire, he would probably find him."

"Okay, I'll go now." Tao Mo took a few steps and turned around and said, "How can I send someone?"

Lao Tao sighed and said, "If the young master has anything to do, leave it to Master Jin and let him do it."

"Okay." Tao Mo ran away.

Lao Tao thought about it, but was not relieved after all, so he followed Tao Mo toward the study where Master Jin was.

Master Jin was helping Tao Mo handle the county affairs on his behalf. He said that it was a process on his behalf, but in fact it was to organize and report it to Tao Mo one by one.

"Master Jin." Tao Mo rushed in like a gust of wind.

"Boss." Master Jin had expected his appearance, so he put down his pen and stood up leisurely.

"I want to send you to help me check the identity of the man."

"Send me?" Master Jin was stunned and said to himself: Shouldn't this kind of thing be sent to the yamen runners? Why do you want me to go?

Old Tao followed Tao Mo and said, "Young Master hopes Master Jin will convey it on his behalf."

"So that's it. OK, I'll go now." Master Jin said he was going, and he still felt a little uncomfortable. He shouldn't have done such errands. I don't know what this boss is thinking? Could it be that he was angry at him in the hall today, so he wanted to give himself a warning?

Tao Mo said: "By the way, Master Jin, did Miss Tong be forced to death or committed suicide?"

Just as Master Jin's feet crossed the threshold, he heard him ask himself, so he had to come back and say, "I don't know this either."

Tao Mo said: "But aren't you Master Ming Zheng?"

Master Jin smiled and said without a smile: "I am Master Xingming, but I am not Master Xingming." If you want to know if the other party was killed or committed suicide, then he doesn't have to be a master here, but just go to become a minister of Dali Temple or the Minister of Justice.

Tao Mo sighed, "Who knows?"

Master Jin said, "One person must know."

Tao Mo's eyes lit up, "Who?"

"Miss Tong." Master Jin thought, since you are spending time, I will naturally spending time on you.

Tao Mo suddenly realized when he clapped his high-high, "It's reasonable." Before Master Jin could react, he turned around and ran away again.

Master Jin looked at Lao Tao blankly, "What did I say?"

Old Tao smiled and said, "The master hides the gullies in his chest, how could it be that people like me can guess?"

Master Jin looked at his departure back and said to himself: "What kind of gully do I hide?"

Tao Mo left the county government and ran to Gu She's mansion while asking for directions.

Before noon arrived, he was walking on the road in an official robe and immediately noticed, attracting frequent attention from passers-by along the way.
