7. The new official takes office (7)

My heart that had just soothed became tangled up again.

Tao Mo looked at him blankly, seeing that the distance from far to near and from near to far, he couldn't help calling out: "Gu, Master!"

Gu She seemed to notice that there was someone next to her and turned her head lazily.

After being swept by the cold eyes, Tao Mo shuddered and blurted out: "Don't eat it?"

"How did you say?" Gu Xiaojia, who had been following him since Tao Mo came out, couldn't help but jump out of the carriage and stared at him.

Tao Mo was stunned, and then realized that the words of the moment were teasing Gu She for coming to have a meal. He looked ashamed and said, "I didn't mean that."

"Idiot." Gu Xiaojia opened the car door, "Young Master, let's go back."

Gu She was about to get into the car when Tao Mo called out again, "Young Master Gu."

Gu Xiaojia glared at him, "What's the ghost called?"

Tao Mo was speechless when asked. He just wanted to look at Gu Qiu a few more times, but he didn't want him to leave so early. As for what excuses he had made, he didn't think about it.

Gu She finally turned around and looked at him, "Do you want to ask me for help?"

Tao Mo was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he said this, but it was a mistake. He was right in the face of his mind and said, "Yes, yes, there is something to ask for."

"Small or big?" Gu Xiaojia suddenly cut off the topic.

Gu She did not object either.

Tao Mo didn't want to get any busy for a moment, so he had to say, "There are big and the small."

Gu Xiaojia frowned and said, "Why are you so troublesome?"

Tao Mo's mind somehow flashed with an evil light and replied, "There are three urgent things for people."

"..." Gu Xiaojia was defeated.

Gu She said, "Come outside my mansion tomorrow and wait."

Tao Mo didn't think his words and deeds were rampant, and he watched them get in the car happily and left.

The sedan chairman in the county government found him out after Tao Mo spoke, and then came up to carry him back home.

On the way back to the county government, Tao Mo kept thinking about how to mention this to Lao Tao. When he thought of Lao Tao's reaction, his heart felt cold. But when he thought of seeing Gu She again tomorrow, his heart felt warm again.

So cool and warm, I returned to the county government office in a cool and cool manner.

Hao Guozi suddenly rushed out of the inside and almost hit him, looking very excited, "Young master, it's amazing, someone has handed over a lawsuit!"

Handing the letter?

Tao Mo was a little dazed, and after a while he came back to his senses, he stuttered: "Then, what should I do?"

Hao Guozi said, "I don't know either. The young master might as well go and ask Lao Tao."

Tao Mo did not dare to neglect and quickly entered the inner hall.

Lao Tao was settled the score. When he saw him coming in, he said, "Create paper on the table."

Tao Mo stood awkwardly, "You know I can't read."

Hao Guozi jumped to the table, picked up the letter and started to recite: "The civilian woman doesn't know De's..."

"Don't you recognize De's family?" Tao Mo was confused.

Hao Guozi said shyly: "I don't know that word."

Lao Tao looked up from the account book and said, "It was Liao who sued his son for being unfilial."

Hao Guozi said: "I didn't expect that a mother would sue her son. It's really a strange story."

Lao Tao said: "In Tanyang County, it is not surprising that even trivial matters can be treated by the government court."

Tao Mo said: "How can the son of Liao's family be unfilial?"

Lao Tao said: "I won't let my mother go."

Tao Mo said: "How is it not going well?"

Lao Tao said: "Verizontal collision."

Tao Mo was stunned and sighed for a long time: "In fact, it is also a blessing to be able to collide."

Lao Tao said: "If you can not collide when you collide and be filial in everything, wouldn't it be even more of a blessing?"

Tao Mo felt guilty and said nothing.

Hao Guozi shouted, "By the way. Master, what delicious food can you eat in Lu Mansion today?"

Tao Mo remembered the Lu Mansion and couldn't raise his head even more. "There's nothing to eat." In that case, he still remembered what he ate.

Hao Guozi said, "I didn't expect that Lu's Mansion would be fine."

Lao Tao was so smart that he knew something was different when he looked at Tao Mo's expression. He asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing." Tao Mo met his clear eyes. Thinking that the matter would come out sooner or later, he had to explain, "Young Master Lu asked me to write poems, and I said I couldn't read."

Hao Guozi said, "Why did Mr. Lu want you to write poems in a good manner?"

Lao Tao said: "I had known that Luzhen School was not a good-looking lamp. Well, this matter would be known sooner or later. It would be no different if I knew it later."

Having said that, he didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Gu She.

Tao Mo thought about it, every time he met Gu She, he was not very decent. The first time he was ignored, the second time he encountered "San Qian of Wushui" and the third time... Fortunately, the fourth time was not far away. Thinking of this, he had a sudden inspiration and said, "The Liao case is the first case I took over, and I can't take it lightly. It would be great if I could ask the master."

Lao Tao looked at him in surprise, "What the young master is really thinking about is what I think."

Tao Mo was happy on his face, but heard Lao Tao say, "You will go to Master Jin's house tonight and ask him to come to the hall tomorrow."

Tao Mo said: "It's just Master Jin?"

Lao Tao said: "I don't know how many such small cases are like this every month. If it weren't for this Liao family's prestigiousness in Tanyang County, the young master wouldn't have to go to the court at all."

Tao Mo looked lonely.

"Is the young master who has other ideas?" Old Tao looked at him suspiciously.

Tao Mo was afraid that he would see the clues, so he quickly found an excuse to escape.

When he walked back to the room, he pulled Hao Guozi who was following him and explained it in this way.

Hao Guozi looked at him in surprise, "Young Master, you are a seventh-rank county magistrate after all, why did you go outside his mansion to wait?"

Tao Mo didn't think anything was wrong, "He said this, so it's his reason. Just do it. Remember to have a sincere tone."

Hao Guozi nodded unwillingly, "It's just that the young master will be promoted to the hall tomorrow, and I won't see it."

"There are more opportunities in the future." Tao Mo said, feeling worried. He was a newbie and had no idea. I only heard Lao Tao recite the law once, and I don't know how much I can remember it.

It can only be left to fate.

That night, he and Lao Tao went to Master Jin's house. To their surprise, Master Jin did not refuse to take office early.

Tao Mo finally felt a little confident when he looked at Master Jin's face that had been ruined by time.

The new county master is going to be promoted to the church. This is a big deal.

In this good weather, Tanyang County, the people don’t care about taxes at all, and they have not changed for several years. They evaluate whether the county magnanimous is how he tried the case. To gain a foothold in Tanyang County, where litigants gather, it is impossible not to be able to fail to try the case.

Tao Mo sat in the court, watching the officials standing in two rows, Liao and his son Wang Pengcheng knelt under the court, and the two lawyers stood on both sides of the court, one left and one right, and his head couldn't help but hurt.

Fortunately, he turned his head and Master Jin was always on his side.

"Sir?" Master Jin saw that Tao Mo didn't say a word, but just stared at him with wide eyes, and couldn't help feeling scared.

Before the storm of "three thousand weak waters, only one can drink it" was over yet, he wanted to be charged with "going around in court"? Thinking of this, he ignored his eyes and raised his voice slightly and said, "Sir!"

Tao Mo was shocked and immediately turned around.

Two lawyers on the left and right were watching him as if they were watching the show.

His hand slowly touched the gavel.

The square and solid wood finally calmed his heart.

Just as everyone was waiting for him to shoot the gavel, he said gently, "Who will talk first."

The two lawyers looked at each other.

They have been in friendship for several years and know all kinds of tricks from each other.

Wang Pengcheng's lawyer raised his eyebrows and signaled the other party to speak first.

Liao's lawyer was not polite, and clasped his fists at Tao Mo and said, "Sir, why should I be filial?"

Tao Mo sighed and said, "I didn't do this word, don't ask me."

“…”

The Liao lawyer never thought that he would say that he was unfilial and was stunned, and then said, "How unfilial are you, so you are unfilial?"

Tao Mo's eyes became even more lonely, "This matter is a long story, at the beginning..."

Master Jin finally knew why Lao Tao insisted on taking office early because this new owner was really unreliable.

"Ahem." He interrupted, which made everyone roll their eyes.

Tao Mo came to his senses and blushed slightly, "Tell me yours first."
