Tao Mo was stunned for some reason, and asked this, but he still honestly answered: "Old friend."

"A strange old friend, a familiar old friend, or an old friend between stranger and familiar?"

Tao Mo thought carefully and said, "An old friend between strangeness and familiarity... right?"

Gu She slowly turned around. Under the thick shade of the trees, his eyes were so cold that it was stinging.

"Why do you ask like this?" Tao Mo asked carefully.

Gu She said: "You don't care about him like an ordinary old friend."

Tao Mo quickly explained: "I just think this case is a bit strange. After all, it was a meeting. I don't want him to die inexplicably." Seeing Gu She still looked at him steadily, thinking that he didn't believe it, and then said, "Besides, I can only think about it like this, but I can't help at all." He knew that even if he became the county magistrate of Tanyang County, all he could manage was the small case of Tanyang County Sesame and Mung Beans, and it was not his turn to intervene in the case of neighboring counties.

Gu She's heart moved slightly.

He seemed to have taken it for granted that his mood was imposed on the other party. In his heart, there were only a few people who could make him care so much, but for Tao Mo, he could not count even if he pulled his hair out. He felt vaguely unhappy and a little relieved. He couldn't tell what was rolling in his heart for a while, and he couldn't sleep at night. He just subconsciously listened to the movements separated by the walls, and even followed him without hesitation when Tao Mo went out.

"You can't sleep even if you are so late?" Tao Mo asked.

also?

Gu She looked down at the young man who was just one step away but was bathed in the moonlight and was shining as pale as snow. "Is he thinking about the case?"

"Think a lot." Tao Mo opened his mouth and wanted to sigh, but the depression and sadness accumulated in his chest were not something that could be completely sighed in one breath?

Gu Shedao: "Do you want to understand this case?"

"I think, but I'm afraid it's not easy." Tao Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I often say that I want to be a good official and a good official who asks for the people, but it's easier said than done. The officials in the world are like carp people who are full of poetry and books. They are even trembling. I don't know a few big words, so what can I do? A passionate thing will never be able to accomplish great things." After he finished speaking, he felt a little relaxed. When Tanyang County became the county magistrate, he realized how naive he thought before! But he couldn't say these words to Lao Tao, nor to Hao Guozi, because he was their hope and their pillar. When he retreated, they were even more at a loss. So he could only endure it secretly, and even dared not express such emotions in his heart, and even suppressed them immediately when this emotion emerged.

The saying of being a good official is not his ideal, but his motivation and burden. Although he has already made up his mind, his future is bumpy and he is unable to do so.

Tao Mo finished complaining and found that Gu She had not replied for a long time, so he couldn't help but look up at him.

There was a touch of tenderness between Gu She's eyebrows that was too late to take back.

"I, I'm useless." Tao Mo turned his head awkwardly. He didn't know why he had just hiding his heart for so long and vomited out the words he had hidden for so long. Maybe it was because Gu She was too strong, so in front of him, he didn't have to force himself to look strong. Even if he did it, Gu She wouldn't agree? He even felt that Gu She's eyes made him unable to hide, whether it was his thoughts or emotions.

"If you are useless like this, it would be useless for everyone in the world." Gu She said lightly.

Tao Mo was thinking about this sentence and was shocked, "I, you...you mean, uh."

"It's not difficult to know the truth." Gu She quickly changed the topic.

Tao Mo felt a little disappointed. Because just now, he almost felt that Gu She was admiring him.

"Cases are made by people, and people will never be perfect." Gu She said with a deep meaning, "Whether it is personality or way of doing things."

Tao Mo listened blankly.

Gu Shedao: "The woodcutter is just a move, either white or black."

Tao Mo pondered for a while and suddenly realized, "You mean, start with the woodcutter?"

Gu She walked upstairs with his hands behind his back.

Tao Mo got the advice and was overjoyed. Seeing that he was about to leave, he grabbed his arm without thinking and said, "Thank you."

Gu She lowered her head and looked at the hand that was a little red from the cold on the cloak.

Tao Mo hurriedly shrank his hand and said dryly: "I was anxious for a moment..."

"Go back." Gu She interrupted him lightly.

Tao Mo in the first half of the night was helpless, so he couldn't sleep. Tao Mo in the second half of the night was still couldn't sleep because of the countermeasures.

On the second day, there was a sound in the corridor outside, and he got up and found the shop's shop's shop's shop to ask for a pot of hot water to wash.

Then I went to the inn lobby alone to have breakfast and waited for the others to come down.

The waiting time was the most difficult. After finally waiting for Lao Tao and Master Jin came down, Tao Mo had already drunk three bowls of soy milk.

"Young Master?" Old Tao was surprised. Although Tao Mo did not like to stay in bed, he was a young man and could not help but sleepiness. It was very rare to get up early like this.

Master Jin and Lao Tao sat down and greeted the shop assistant to deliver breakfast.

Seeing Tao Mo looking reluctant but stopped, Old Tao simply asked: "Young Master, do you have any worries?"

Tao Mo tentatively said: "I am thinking about Wanfeng's case."

Master Jin paused with the steamed buns, and a dark cloud appeared on his eyebrows.

Lao Tao said calmly: "Young Master wants to take care of this case?"

Tao Mo said: "It's not that I care, I just want to find out. If this woodcutter is the real murderer, that's great. If not, wouldn't it be a waste of two lives?"

Master Jin said: "The boss doesn't have to worry. This case is related to life. The county magistrate said nothing. In the end, the emperor had to make a red note before counting it."

Tao Mo was stunned, "Your Majesty's decision?"

Master Jin smiled and said, "Of course."

Lao Tao glanced at him meaningfully. Although the death penalty required the emperor to decide, the emperor was busy with all kinds of things, so how could he pay attention to such small cases? Usually, even if the woodcutter passed through the two passes of the county magistrate and the prefect was gone.

Tao Mo felt a little relieved and said, "Since that's the case, I've won some time."

Master Jin stopped smiling, "Are you going to interfere in this matter?"

"I didn't interfere, just..." Tao Mo wanted to think of an appropriate description, but heard a cold and pleasant male voice pick him up, "Assist from the side."

Master Jin saw Gu She and subconsciously stood up.

Old Tao Yi looked at Tao Mo with some point, "It seems that the young master has reached an agreement with Mr. Gu."

Tao Mo lowered his head and smiled dryly. Old Tao's tone was not good, it could be said that it was a bit bad, but the content of the words made Tao Mo feel sweet from the bottom of his heart.

Gu She said calmly: "Isn't this what you expect?"

Lao Tao refused to comment. His expectations were obviously slightly different from what Gu She thought. He did hope that Gu She could help Tao Mo with his help, but his expectations were very selfish. To be honest, he hoped that Gu She could give selflessly without any return from Tao Mo. Even if there was a return, it would be some irrelevant rewards, such as friendship, at least not Tao Mo's mood at the moment.

He suddenly felt powerless. This kind of powerlessness was deeper than when he saw Tao Mo approaching Yi Yu. He didn't care about Yi Yu before. Because he was a young servant, he had no power and could be conquered with money. But Gu She was different. His family background, status, talent and personality would only make him conquer others in turn. He believed that as long as Gu She made a move, Tao Mo would be defeated without any resistance. But what he couldn't understand was what medicine was sold in Gu She's gourd?

Is it a game? I am afraid that Gu She is disdaining such a boring and childish game?

Tao Mo took Lao Tao's contemplation as a dilemma and whispered: "If it's really a dilemma..."

"Actually, we should check it out," Lao Tao said suddenly.

Master Jin chewed the steamed buns, looking unhappy. He thought that Lao Tao would be his only ally on this table, but who knew that Gu would be his rebellious after ejaculation.

Lao Tao said: "Don't worry, young master, just leave this matter to me."

Wanfeng died at the hands of Huang Guangde, so it is self-evident who threw the woodcutter as a scapegoat. Although he did not know the reason for Huang Guangde's murder, since he was close to Tanyang County, he could not help but ignore this matter.

Tao Mo frowned and said, "You go alone? It's too unsafe."

Old Tao Mo drank soy milk silently, then raised his hand and slapped hard at the bowl.

The bowl turns into powder under the palm.

Tao Mo, Master Jin: “…”

Gu She's face does not change color.

When Hao Guozi, Gu Xiaojia and Sang Xiaotu came down, Lao Tao had already gone out.

The three of them looked at the breakfast that was eating at the table, and they felt a little nervous.

Gu Xiaojia whispered: "Young Master, I'm getting up late."

Gu She said: "Eat."

Gu Xiaojia felt relieved when he saw that he had no intention of blaming him.

Sang Xiaotu and Hao Guozi both sat down one by one. Because they were worried, their butt was just a slapped on the side of the stool, and they ate in small mouthfuls, just like a new wife coming to their house.

The atmosphere was a little depressed for a while.

As Gu Xiaojia was eating, a word suddenly appeared, "Where did the young master go last night?"

Gu Shedao: "Walk."

Tao Mo choked and looked at Gu Xia quickly. It was obvious that it was a normal meeting, but somehow, being asked by Gu Xiaojia like this made him feel a little guilty.

Gu Xiaojia asked in confusion: "But midnight..." He knew Gu's habit of ejaculation and never got up at night.

Gu Zhao raised his eyes.

Gu Xiaojia swallowed the words and steamed buns together.

Old Tao came back at noon. Tao Mo looked him up and down in detail, and then he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not hurt.

Lao Tao had no son and had long regarded Tao Mo as his son. Seeing that he cared about him so much, Lao Huai comforted him and his tone of speaking softened. "The woodcutter has two sons, both of whom owed a lot of gambling debts. The woodcutter must have been bribed by money."

Tao Mo felt trembling in his heart when he heard this, "But, this is a lifelong effort."

Lao Tao sighed: "The hearts of parents in the world."

Tao Mo thought of his father, and his originally hesitant heart suddenly became firm, "I want to save him."
