Love is More Than a Word

Preemptive three

Qin Cheng is known as the Peach Blossom City, and it is the season of peach blossoms.

Tao Mo raised the car curtain at a small angle and quietly looked at a peach tree emerging from the roadside by three miles. The spring seemed to spread silently among the peach stamens on the peach tree.

Hao Guoguo received Master Jin’s instructions and parked the carriage in front of a humble inn.

The carriage was shaken twice because Hao Guoguo and Master Jin got out of the car. Tao Mo was hesitating whether to wake up Gu She. Gu She had already sat up.

“It’s here.” Tao Mo said nothing.

Gu She nodded slightly and got up to get off.

Tao Mo was about to follow, but was blocked by Master Jin. Master Jin said to Hao Guoguo while walking in: “You parked the car here, and I will come when I go.”

Hao Guoguo was confused.

The road in front of the inn was not wide. They were two horses and one car in one, blocking the passers-by. Gu Xiaojia and Lao Tao had to first lead the horse to the inn stable. When they came back, Master Jin came out with a steamed bun, handed it to Tao Mo, and jumped into the car.

Old Tao grabbed him, “Is this going?”

Master Jin said: “There are many rules in the prefectural government office. We are already late now. It stands to reason that we should meet in the afternoon and we should arrive in the morning.”

Gu Xiaojia snorted coldly: “What a big shelf.”

Master Jin said: “Otherwise what is it called Zhifu Yamen.” He saw that other people didn’t mean to leave, and said, “It’s not pleasant to see Zhifu, and it will drop the handle when it comes out. I will accompany the owner.” In fact, When visiting the boss, Tao Mo should go by himself. Most people have a pretentious attitude to take Joe. It was just that Tao Mo was illiterate and did not understand the interactions in the officialdom, so he went alone and was afraid that he would poke the leak.

Old Tao also knew this, holding Master Jin’s hand without any traces: “Since that is the case, please ask Master everything.”

Master Jin felt a heavy bag of stuff tucked into his cuffs and smiled unconsciously: “Relax.”

The carriage was going, and Tao Moyi looked at Gu She reluctantly.

Gu She raised her lips slightly.

Tao Mo’s heart immediately settled down.

This is three hours.

Looking at the sun slowly going west, the sky gradually dimmed, and the old Tao’s complexion became more and more gloomy.

“Go to the gate of Zhifu Yamen.” Gu She said suddenly.

Gu Xiaojia couldn’t stand it anymore, and was ordered to run in the direction of the stable with a smoke.

Lao Tao gave him a look.

Gu She looked blankly at the unmoved tea in front of him.

“You didn’t have to come.” Tao Tao said.

Gu Shedao: “There is no need to come and not to come or not.”

Old Tao said: “My young master has neither money nor talent, but I don’t know why Gu Gongzi has been handed in?”

Gu Shedao: “Why do you stay with him?”

“Master Tao has been gracious to me.”

“Just so?” Gu She asked lightly. There are thousands of ways to pay for gratitude, but the old one chooses the most difficult and the most laborious.

Tao Tao said: “At least the Tao House is kind to me, and it is reasonable for me to stay next to the young master. Gu Gongzi’s intentions are confusing.”

“Really?” He didn’t seem to explain.

Lao Tao’s fingers were pressed lightly on his knees, his mind turned for thousands of years, the last bite his teeth, and said softly: “Gu Gongzi knows, my young master is actually…have to be a manly man?”

Gu She turned his head, raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were clear like spring water, but he couldn’t show any emotion, “Oh?”

…

Old pottery knot.

He originally planned that Gu She did not dislike Tao Mo even after knowing that Tao Mo had the habit of having broken sleeves, so he would not stop the two people from coming and going. If one day, the two are in love, it would be a good story… right? If Gu She knows to stay away from Tao Mo afterwards, then naturally it is best. The two of the provinces were later unclear.

But what is the meaning of such a bland “oh” word without emotion? Was the heart full of waves, but could not hold back? Or is it that the heart is like water, and it has nothing to do with him?

Lao Tao was entangled with Gu She’s attitude, but temporarily put aside Tao Mo’s delay.

About half an hour later, Gu Xiaojia came back, his cheeks turned red, and he rubbed his hands while walking.

“Master?” Lao Tao looked behind him.

Gu Xiaojia sat down, poured a cup of hot tea and drank to warm his body, then said, “Hao Guoli is still there before he comes out.”

Old Tao groaned.

Gu She said: “Did you inquire?”

Gu Xiaojia said: “Why can’t you ask me. Both Hao Guozi and I have stuffed the porter with money, and the porter said people are still inside.”

Lao Tao suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, “I’ll check it out.”

Gu She and Gu Xiaojia knew that his martial arts were good, and he did not stop.

It didn’t take long for Lao Tao to leave the inn, and there were rapid wheel sounds outside.

Gu She and Gu Xiaojia looked out at the same time, only to see that the car was not stable, Hao Guozi stumbled in, and behind him was the same hurried Master Jin.

“Oh, it’s…” Hao Guoguo threw himself at the table and said to Gu, “Master is detained!”

Gu She frowned and looked towards Master Jin.

At a glance, Master Jin felt a burst of coolness rising from his back.

After the old Tao turned around in the prefectural government office and came back with nothing, he saw Master Jin, Hao Guoguo and Gu She sitting on the same table, looking disappointed.

“What’s the matter?” After all, Tao Tao passed through the wind and waves. After seeing their expressions, his anxious heart settled down.

Master Jin’s eyes flickered slightly: “The Dong family was detained by the prefect.”

The old pottery looked cold, “Why?”

Master Jin said: “Don’t be guilty and neglect your duties.”

“Ridiculous!” Lao Tao slapped on the table with a palm.

Master Jin lowered his head and said, “Here, this is actually complaining to me.”

Old Tao Hu looked at him suspiciously, “What do you do with you?”

Master Jin said: “Don’t the roof of the government office in the previous county have broken a few holes? I allocated a repair fee to Muchun for repair.”

Old Tao frowned: “How about this?”

Master Jin said with a bitter smile: “The government of Xiu County wanted to be approved by the government. The money I allocated to Mu Chun was actually used by Cui Jiong to honor the Dong family.”

Old Tao’s face suddenly became ugly. This is equivalent to taking a bribe.

Master Jin said: “In fact, this fact is nothing. Almost all the county officials have touched it, but the name is different. The money touched by the Dong family is the least among the previous county officials, and it is also the most reasonable in the name. Unfortunately, the prefect Just catch it.”

Gu She said: “Is this a corrupt practice? What about neglect of duty?”

Master Jin said: “Don’t the Dong family encounter two murders before?”

Old Tao said: “You mean Tong girl and Cai Fengyuan?”

Master Jin said: “It’s them. According to my law, Qian’s post-mortem requires the presence of a county magistrate. It happened that the two homicides were not at the time of the autopsy. In fact, where is the county officer who accompanies Wu’s post-mortem? I met two people who accompanied Qian to do the test once, but the second time I was reluctant to go.”

Old Tao Shen said: “There are not many people who know these two things. How did it reach the ears of Zhifu?”

Master Jin said: “I’m afraid someone has sued.”

“Who?” Lao Tao looked sharply.

Master Jin is an old fritter, and even if the name comes to his mouth, he will not spit it out, so he made a haha ​​and said: “This is going to be a good investigation.”

Gu Xiaojia said: “Both crimes are dispensable, at most used to admonish them. How can we detain people?”

Gu Shedao: “Someone has to do an article.”

Master Jin said: “I think so too. The Dong family is a county magistrate anyway, and even the prefect has no right to detain him without authorization! Even if the Dong family is wrong, he should first report to the court, and the officials will deal with it.”

Hao Guoguo said: “Isn’t it really… Huang Guangde?” Almost every time he had an accident, he would point his finger at Huang Guangde, and the other party rarely disappointed him.

Old Tao looked at Master Jin and said: “From Master, what should we do now?”

Master Jin said: “The enemy is dark, I shouldn’t fight grass and snakes. It’s late today. When tomorrow morning, I will first go to the staff around Zhifu to inquire about the news and make plans.”

Old Tao’s eyes flashed. He sighed: “I had to.”

Gu She couldn’t help but glance at him more.

Two times.

Lao Tao rushed out of the inn wearing night clothes.

The night was vast, like an invisibility cloak on him.

He strode across the eaves and ran towards the cell where the prisoners held the prefects.

At this time, the oil lamp in the cell was slightly bright.

The old Tao Yun pointed to Rufei, who quickly held the guard’s office and walked into the cell, as if he was in a state of no one.

Not early, most of the detainees were already asleep. The old pottery looked through the fence one by one until the last cell. Approximately considering the identity of Tao Mo’s court official, he lived alone.

Tao Mo was imprisoned here, but he didn’t sleep well. Old Tao just stood at the door and he woke up.
