51. The ulterior motives (six)

After being interrupted by Lu Zhenxue like this, Tao Mo's thoughts were a little confused. He lowered his head and reorganized it, and then said, "Sang Xiaotu, do you know your mistake?"

Sang Xiaotu bang bang bang bang bang bang again, "The villain knows his mistake, he knows his mistake."

Tao Mo looked at Gu Xiaojia and said, "I don't know what Gu... Mr. Gu thinks?" He couldn't think of what to call him, so he simply used Mr. Gu to call Gu Xiaojia.

But this title fell into Gu Xiaojia's ears, but he thought he wanted to know Gu She's attitude, so he said, "Since the young master handed over this case to Lord Tao, he should have the full power to deal with it." He paused, thinking that Tao Mo had just heard of the incident, he was afraid that he would let Sang Xiaotu go like this, making the case of Gu's carriage theft a farce, and added, "I believe that with Lord Tao's wisdom, he will never tolerate or keep a person's word."

What he had was a dilemma.

Obviously, people cannot just let go. But so what if they don’t let go? I’m afraid that Tao Mo will blame Sang Xiaotu today and will be criticized as unfilial tomorrow.

Tao Mo glanced at Master Jin.

Master Jin stood up and leaned over quietly.

It is common for the army to make suggestions for county officials, and it is not uncommon for the people to see them.

Tao Mo whispered: "Sir, how to judge this case?"

Master Jin said: "Filial piety is the first of all virtues. The emperor nowadays also advocates filial piety the most. Sang Xiaotu is wrong in stealing a car, but it comes from filial piety. This love must be taken into consideration by the boss."

Tao Mo said it was.

"But theft is a violation of our law. Even if the consequences are pity, the punishment is inevitable."

Tao Mo nodded again.

"So," Master Jin took a deep breath and said to Tao Mo who was looking at him, "Why might as well do it yourself?"

Tao Mo: "..."

Master Jin retreated back to his original position.

Everyone else looked at Tao Mo curiously.

Tao Mo nervously touched the gavel.

Lu Zhenxue couldn't help but feel a little gloating at this time. If Tao Mo had just asked him to defend Sang Xiaotu, then he would have made suggestions and Tao Mo would not have fallen into an embarrassing situation at this time.

Gu Xiaojia couldn't help but look at the direction of the yamen. He thought in his heart that the young master's concern for Tao Mo might help him.

Tao Mo was also looking at the yamen. But he was just looking at it in vain, but he was thinking about how to judge the punishment.

His slow speech made the onlookers feel a little impatient and whispered everywhere.

Master Jin said, "Sir."

Tao Mo was excited and thought he had any suggestions.

"Knock the arbor." Master Jin said.

Tao Mo picked up the gavel without hesitation and took a photo.

The hall was silent and his eyes were all focused on Tao Mo.

Tao Mo continued to look at Master Jin.

Master Jin said, "Sir, you can sentence me."

...

Tao Mo took a deep breath and said, "Filial piety is the first of all virtues. Today's emperor also advocates filial piety the most. Sang Xiaotu is wrong in stealing a car, but it comes from filial piety. This feeling must be ignored..." He said Master Jin's two words almost immediately.

Gu Xiaojia nodded secretly when he heard this.

"So this official decided to sentence Sang Xiaotu..." Tao Mo paused, and the hall was extremely quiet. "Go to Gu's house to be a servant and pay for his crimes for work until Mr. Gu is satisfied."

Sang Xiaotuda breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you Master Qingtian."

Who knew that Gu's mansion was a big family in the city, and being able to enter Gu's mansion as a servant was more of a reward than a punishment.

Lu Zhenxue came out and said, "Sir, this may be unfair to Mr. Gu."

Gu Xiaojia was unmoved and said, "It is rare to be filial to Sang Xiaotu, who is a rare person. I believe that he will be loyal to my young master in the future. If he can get such a servant for nothing, my young master will definitely be very satisfied. If you don't want Mr. Lu to worry about it."

Lu Zhenxue said disrespectfully: "Since that's the case, I'm too much."

Gu Xiaojia pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh? Mr. Lu actually discovered it. I thought Mr. Lu would never realize it in his life."

Lu Zhenxue's face changed slightly, he bowed to Tao Mo, and swayed his sleeves and left the court.

Tao Mo said: "Since everyone has no objection, then this case will be sentenced like this!" He knocked the awesomeness of the Master Qingtian in the novel, and whispered: "Get out."

Getting out of the hall, Tao Mo changed his clothes and went to Gu's mansion.

Although the case has been sentenced and the person has been taken away by Gu Xiaojia, Tao Mo did not see Gu She or listened to Gu She's personal opinion on the verdict of the case, and he felt uneasy after all.

When he arrived at Gu's house, the atmosphere was no different from the past, which made him feel a little relieved. However, after Wenming Gu She was waiting for him in the study, his heart was suffocated again.

He hesitated to the outside of the study door, which was half open. Looking inside through the crack of the door, I could only see a corner of the desk.

"Come in." Gu She said suddenly.

Tao Mo was startled and noticed that his shadow had already leaked his whereabouts. He couldn't help scratching his head and stepped into the door.

Gu She is writing.

Seeing that his pen was like a god, Tao Mo did not dare to interrupt, so he stood aside silently.

After a while, Gu She put his pen on, "Take it away."

Tao Mo was stunned for a moment, and when he stepped forward, he saw that it was a copybook.

Gu She said: "These words are not difficult, you can learn them first. If you don't understand, please ask me."

Tao Mo looked up and down several times and said, "I can only recognize three words."

Gu She smiled slightly in her eyes, "What three words?"

Tao Mo pointed to the beginning one, "Zhi." Then he pointed to the middle one, "Xian, this is Gu."

Gu Shedao: "Then learn these three first."

Tao Mo's lips rippled with laughter, "Yeah."

"How is the case today?" Gu She asked casually.

Tao Mo, who was about to pick up the copybook, shook his hands and asked carefully: "Don't you know yet?"

Gu She said lightly: "Do I know something?"

"I'll give Sang Xiaotu to you now." Tao Mo whispered.

Gu Shedao: "Are you missing someone in Gu's house?"

Tao Mo was stunned by the question, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Of course not, I just pity him for his filial piety. Besides, if he is so filial to his father, he will definitely be... loyal to you in the future." He learned and sold it now, and conveyed Gu Xiaojia's words in a different way.

Gu She said, "What if my mansion is not short of people?"

Tao Mo was stunned. He had never thought about this. If the Gu family was not short of people, it would be obvious that it would be inappropriate for him to stuff Sang Xiaotu over to the Gu family.

He thought for a while and said, "If so, I will redeem him." This can also supplement Gu's family's losses.

Gu She said, "What's the point of redeeming him?"

Tao Mo said: "It's good to be a servant."

"Since that's the case, keep it." Gu Shed.

Tao Mo was a little confused about his meaning. It was useless, why did he keep it? He tentatively said, "I'm not a good judgment?"

Gu She said: "Do you think you're not doing well?"

Tao Mo lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Even if I think about it now, I can't think of any other way."

Gu Shedao: "How?"

"The best of both worlds..."

Gu She stared at him with a straight look.

Tao Mo was so nervous that he was watching. His eyes were burning with a scorching temperature, as if he could burn people at any time.

The heat in Gu She's eyes quickly decreased and she returned to her previous coldness. "If someone in this county killed someone because she wanted to save someone, how should she be judged?"

Tao Mo was shocked and asked, "Who?"

"I'm just doing an example."

Tao Mo said: "How to save the person? Who is the person who is saved? Who is the person who is killed? Why do you want to kill someone?"

"I saved a teased girl, and I killed a bully who teased her. Killing people was the wrong move." Gu She replied in a deep voice.

Tao Mo pondered: "It is wrong to kill someone."

Gu She looked at him silently.

"But," Tao Mo's tone changed, "He is brave enough to act bravely, a good thing, a wrong move... I'm afraid it's God's will. This person must not be let go, but he cannot be sentenced to a heavy sentence." He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and his face wrinkled in his mind, and then suddenly said, "Why not be a soldier? If you are a soldier, you can... be atone for the success of your sins?"

Gu She smiled slightly. If his uncle had been sent to the border to defend his country, I was afraid he would be willing to do so, right? The general's son.

My mother might be happier.
