Love is More Than a Word

Being interrupted by Lu Zhenxue like this, Tao Mo's thoughts were slightly confused, he lowered his head and rearranged, and said, "Sang Xiaotu, do you know your mistake?"

Sang Xiaotu slammed his head three more times, "The little man knows his mistake, he knows his mistake."

Tao Mo looked at Gu Xiaojia and said, "I don't know Gu... What do you think of Mr. Gu?" He couldn't think of a name, so he simply used Mr. Gu as Gu Xiaojia.

But Gu Xiaojia thought that he wanted to know Gu She's attitude when this title fell into his ears, and said, "Since the young master has handed over this case to Master Tao, Master Tao should have the full power to handle it." Weeping over the incident, and fearing that he would let Sang Xiaotu go just like that, making the case of the stolen Gu family carriage a farce, and added, "I believe that my lord's wisdom will never condone the adulterer, nor will I As for keeping people talking."

What he came up with was a dilemma.

People obviously can't just let it go.But so what?Responsibility?I'm afraid that if Tao Mo scolded Sang Xiaotu today, he would be branded unfilial tomorrow.

Tao Mo glanced at Master Jin.

Master Jin stood up and leaned over quietly.

It is common for the master to advise the county magistrate, and it is not uncommon for the common people to see it often, so it is not surprising.

Tao Mo whispered: "Master, how do you judge this case?"

Master Jin said: "Filial piety comes first. The current emperor also respects filial piety the most. It is true that Sang Xiaotu made a mistake in stealing the car, but in the end it was out of filial piety. The master must not ignore this."

Tao Mo repeatedly said yes.

"But theft is a violation of our court's laws. Even if the situation is sympathetic, the punishment is inevitable."

Tao Mo nodded again and again.

"Therefore," Master Jin took a deep breath, and said to Tao Mo, who was looking at him eagerly, "Why don't you figure it out yourself, my lord?"

Tao Mo: "..."

Master Jin calmly returned to his original position.

Everyone else looked at Tao Mo curiously.

Tao Mo nervously touched the gavel.

Lu Zhenxue couldn't help gloating at this time.If Tao Mo had allowed him to defend Sang Xiaotu just now, then Tao Mo would not be in the embarrassing situation at this time if he would give advice.

Gu Xiaojia couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the yamen gate.He thought in his heart that the young master cared for Tao Mo, maybe he would help him.

Tao Mo was also looking at the gate of the yamen.But he was just looking at it falsely, and what he was thinking about was how to punish.

He didn't speak for a long time, which made the surrounding people feel a little impatient, and whispered everywhere.

Master Jin said: "My lord."

Tao Mo cheered up, thinking he had some suggestions.

"Knock on the gavel," Master Jin said.

Tao Mo picked up the gavel without hesitation and patted it.

There was silence in the hall, all eyes were on Tao Mo.

Tao Mo continued to look at Master Jin.

Master Jin said: "Your Excellency, you can judge."

……

Tao Mo took a deep breath, and then said: "Filial piety is the first thing to do. The current emperor also admires filial piety the most. It is true that Xiao Sang was wrong in stealing the car, but in the end it was out of filial piety, and this situation must be taken into account..." He took Master Jin's The two sentences were said almost exactly at once.

Gu Xiaojia nodded secretly.

"That's why I decided to sentence Sang Xiaotu..." Tao Mo paused, and the hall was extremely quiet. "Go to Gu's mansion as a servant, and pay for the crime with your work, until Mr. Gu is satisfied."

Sang Xiaotu heaved a sigh of relief, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, sir, thank you, Master Qingtian."

Who knew that the Gu Mansion is a big family in the city, being able to enter the Gu Mansion as a servant is not so much a punishment as a reward.

Lu Zhenxue came out and said, "My lord, I'm afraid this is unfair to Mr. Gu."

Gu Xiaojia was unmoved, and said: "It's rare for Sang Xiaotu to be filial, he is a rare person. I believe he will be loyal to my son in the future, and if he can get such a servant for nothing, my son will definitely be very satisfied. Don't worry about Mr. Lu."

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

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

Lu Zhenxue's expression changed slightly, he bowed to Tao Mo, then flung his sleeves and left the courtroom.

Tao Mo said: "Since everyone has no objection, then the case will be judged like this!" He knocked on the gavel, imitating the imposing manner of Lord Qingtian in the novel, and said loudly: "Retire."

Coming down from the hall, Tao Mo changed his clothes and was about to go to Gu's residence.

Although the case had already been judged and the person had been taken away by Gu Xiaojia, Tao Mo didn't see Gu She, and didn't hear Gu She's opinion on the verdict of the case, so he felt uneasy after all.

When he arrived at the Gu Mansion, the atmosphere was the same as before, which made him feel a little relieved.But after Wenming Gu She was waiting for him in the study, his heart sank again.

Hesitatingly came to the door of the study, the door was half open.Looking in through the crack of the door, only a corner of the desk can be seen.

"Come in." Gu She said suddenly.

Tao Mo was taken aback, and only then realized that his shadow had already leaked his whereabouts, scratching his head, and walked in the door.

Gu She is writing.

Tao Mo saw that he swung his pen like a god, and he didn't dare to interrupt, so he stood aside silently.

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

Tao Mo was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward to see that it was actually a copybook.

Gu She said: "These words are not difficult, you learn first. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me."

Tao Mo looked up and down several times, and said, "Only recognize three characters."

There was a slight smile in Gu She's eyes, "Which three words?"

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

Gu She said: "Then let's learn these three first."

The corner of Tao Mo's mouth was rippling with laughter, "Yes."

"How did the case go today?" Gu She asked casually.

Tao Mo, who was about to take the copybook, shook his hands, and asked cautiously, "You still don't know?"

Gu She said lightly: "Is there anything I should know?"

"I sentenced Sang Xiaotu to your present." Tao Mo whispered.

Gu She said: "Are you in need of someone in Gu's residence?"

Tao Mo was taken aback by the question, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Of course not, I just pity him for his filial piety. Besides, he is so filial to his father, and he will be... loyal to you in the future." , to paraphrase Gu Xiaojia's words in different ways.

Gu She said: "Then what if there is no shortage of people in my residence?"

Tao Mo was stunned.It hadn't occurred to him.If there is no shortage of people in the Gu family, not only did he bring Sang Xiaotu over to the Gu family, but it is obviously wrong for the Gu family to support him for nothing every day.

He thought for a while and said: "If that's the case, then I'll redeem him." This can also make up for the loss of the Gu family.

Gu She said: "What is the use of you redeeming him?"

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

"Since that's the case, let's keep it." Gu She said.

Tao Mo was a little uncertain about what he meant.Since it is useless, why keep it?He tentatively asked, "Is my judgment not good?"

Gu She said: "Do you think your sentence is not good?"

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 She said: "How?"

"The best of both worlds...the best of both worlds."

Gu She stared straight at him.

Tao Mo was flustered at the sight.There was a scorching temperature in those eyes, as if it could burn people at any time.

The heat in Gu She's eyes quickly subsided, and he returned to his usual coldness, "If in this county, there is a person who kills someone because he wanted to save someone, how should he be sentenced?"

Tao Mo was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"I'm just making an example."

Tao Mo said: "How do you save people? Who are you saving? Who are you killing? Why do you want to kill someone?"

"The one who was saved was a girl who was being molested, and the one who was killed was a bully who molested the girl. It was the wrong hand to kill someone." Gu She replied in a deep voice.

Tao Mo pondered, "It's wrong to kill someone."

Gu She looked at him silently.

"However," Tao Mo's tone changed, "He acted bravely in the face of righteousness, which is a good thing, and the wrong hand... I'm afraid it is God's will. This person cannot be let go, but he can't be sentenced again." He bowed his head and pondered for a long time, thinking hard All wrinkled into a ball, he suddenly said, "Why don't you go to the army? If you go to the army, you can... general, make atonement?"

Gu She smiled slightly.If his uncle had been sent to the border to defend his family and country, I'm afraid he would have been very willing, right?General door tiger.

Mother might be happier.
