Love is More than a Word, Chapter 62: Beware of visitors with gifts (8)...

By the next day, Hao Guozi discovered he was wrong-not five but seven.

Gu-She and Tao Mo were the first to get on the bus, while the rest of Lao Tao, Master Advisor Jin, Sang Xiaotu, Hao Guozi and Gu Xiaojia lined up and looked at each other.

"I'll drive." Gu Xiaojia got into the car shaft knowingly.

"I'm also driving." Hao Guozi didn't wait for the others to respond, jumping right into the shaft and riding alongside Gu Xiaojia.

Master Advisor Jin sighed, "I'm an old man and I'm still comfortable in a carriage." He said, climbing into the carriage on his hands and knees.

Lao Tao looked to Sang Xiaotu.

Sang Xiaotu cringed and said, "Young Master asked me to follow to serve."


Lao Tao frowned. As far as he knew, Sang Xiaotu served Tao Mo exclusively at the Gu Residence, who exactly was he going to serve now? But the carriage was Gu-She's and he could take whoever he wanted and he had nothing to say about it.

Sang Xiaotu saw Lao Tao get into the carriage slowly before following cautiously.

Closing the door, the carriage moved forward slowly.

Tao Mo squeezed next to Gu-She, his shoulder touching his arm and hung his head to look at his feet, afraid that his shyness and pleasure would be seen.

The compartment is actually not small but the coffee table and cupboard take up space, making several people have to sit with their shoulders hunched.

A moment of silence.

From here to the neighboring county, at least five or six hours, the thought of sitting like this for five or six hours made Master Advisor Jin feel the hair in his mouth bitter and secretly regretted promising Lao Tao to come along. He turned his gaze around on everyone's faces, finally settling on Tao Mo's head and spoke without words, "Cui Jiong seems to have come to the magistrate house very often these past two days."

Tao Mo looked up, dazed, "Yes?"

Master Advisor Jin says: "his Excellency will be relying on him a lot in the future and he should move around more often. He has been with Tao Mo for a long time and gradually got to know his temper, knowing that he is not a duplicitous man, but an honest man. He was too frank and thoughtless. He had a bad initial impression of him and was gloating about misfortunes. He gradually became a bitter understanding man like LaoTao.

Tao Mo even said yes, reflecting darkly.




Gu-She gave Master Advisor Jin a sidelong glance.

Master Advisor Jin is shocked and feels that Gu-She's glance has a deep meaning but can't quite place what that meaning is.

Tranquility was once again restored to the carriage.

Master Advisor Jin also stopped opening his mouth at random and just sat eye to eye.

The carriage made two stops and finally arrived in the neighboring county in the evening. As the journey was so tiring and bumpy, everyone went back to their rooms and rested in the inn, which naturally ruined Tao Mo's plans for the trip.

The next day, when the courtroom opened, Tao Mo and the others all changed into inconspicuous clothes and then mingled among the people to observe. Even so, their group still stood out. Although Gu-She wasn't wearing a fox fur and mink jacket, he stood out from the crowd in all his splendor, like a crane standing on a flock of chickens.

Master Advisor Jin originally saw that Gu-She was tall and wanted him to block his way so that he wouldn't be recognized by the neighboring county's master but who knows that it would be better if they didn't stand together but they would be exposed even faster. He recognizes Gu-She by the puzzled look he gets from the neighboring prefects.

Fortunately, that Magistrate Advisor didn't say anything, just as the neighboring county magistrate shocked the wood to start the trial and he quickly turned his head away.

The woodcutter was brought up but not as bruised and battered as the people thought, look at the color but actually good, to the magistrate's various questions are also one by one answers, extremely cooperative.

What should have been a war of words in Tao Mo's mind ended bizarrely and peacefully with the two asking and answering questions.

Until the master took out the paper for the woodcutter to sign, he did not hesitate at all, as if he had already put life and death away.

The case was quickly tried and the people headed out in disinterest.

Tao Mo blended in with the crowd and buried his head in his thoughts.

When he got out of the courthouse, Lao Tao asked Master Advisor Jin, "What do you think?"

Master Advisor Jin heaves a smile, "The killer is caught and all are happy."

Lao Tao said, "He was only a scapegoat."

Master Advisor Jin said: "In any case, the prisoner has admitted it himself."

Tao Mo: "But he didn't explain where the bow and arrow came from, or how it could be shot so accurately."




Master Advisor Jin sighed softly, "Confused and confused, hard to be confused. This case involves human lives and serious emotions and it needs to be reported for a verdict, it is not a done deal."

Gu Xiaojia said, "The person who committed the crime himself has admitted to it, so I'm afraid that no one will pursue the matter even if it's reported." If people are looking and seeking for death, who can they blame?

Tao Mo said, "It shouldn't be like this." He looked to Gu-She as if he wants him to say something.

Not to be outdone, Gu-She opened his mouth and said, "Find a place to land."

"Huh?" Tao Mo was startled.

Gu-She said, "My legs are sore."

The tea houses in neighboring counties are not as sophisticated as those at the Tangyang County and the tea brewed is even less worth mentioning.

Gu-She did come here for just a sit-down.

Tao Mo saw Master Advisor Jin and Gu Xiaojia both sipped their tea and put down their cups not wanting to move.

Master Advisor Jin said, "Master Hou saw me."

Master Hou is naturally the Master Advisor of the neighboring county.

Lao Tao frowned, "Will he recognize Young Master?"

Master Advisor Jin looked at Gu-She and said, "Even if you don't recognize him, I'm only afraid that you can guess." Gu-She was too conspicuous and with someone like that appearing under the public gallery, I'm afraid that anyone would just go and find out what was going on.

Lao Tao said, "Things are getting more and more complicated."

Gu Xiaojia said, "What's so complicated about it? The case is solved anyway."

Hao Guozi, who hadn't spoken, suddenly snorted.

Gu Xiaojia frowned, "What are you snorting about?"

"Nothing. Just don't like the way some people treat common people like shit!" Hao Guozi stared at him as if he was blind.

Gu Xiaojia was on fire as he stared at him, "What's common? What's a man's life? I'm baffled. The prisoner confessed himself and you have forbidden him to reform and repent?"

Hao Guozi said, "Some people lard up their hearts really can't help it! So much unreason can be turned into a blind eye!"

"Where is it unreasonable?" Gu Xiaojia was furious and really got into an argument with him, "Who says a woodcutter can't hold a bow and arrow and who says a woodcutter can't shoot someone with a bow and arrow? A blind cat can still meet a dead mouse, how can he not be allowed to be lucky?"

Hao Guozi said, "I can't help it if you're not going to open your eyes and see the lies."

Gu Xiaojia raised his hand and was about to slap the table, when he caught Gu-She's cold eyes out of the corner of his eye, his head immediately stiffened as if a pot of cold water had been poured over him.

Tao Mo rounded off the conversation by saying, "This is so odd, I'm afraid no one will be able to explain it for a while."

Master Advisor Jin said, "There are two possibilities for the prisoner to voluntarily confess to the crime. One, he is indeed the murderer and the other is that he is trying to cover up for the murderer."

As he said this, Tao Mo came to his senses. He said, "In other words, the killer is probably someone close to him."

"It's just a possibility," Master Advisor Jin said, "It's also possible that he's being paid off."

Tao Mo blanched, "Being paid in exchange for his life?"

Master Advisor Jin laughed, "Money can make the devil push the grindstone. These days, if you have money and power and connections, there's nothing impossible about it."




Lao Tao said, "So much for the fact that the real murderer is most likely powerful." He said, casting a glance at Tao Mo.

Tao Mo was white and blue.

Late Wind's case appears to be finished but it seems like it's just beginning.

It's late at night.

Tao Mo couldn't sleep turned over in his clothes and put on his shoes to go outside.

Outside Hao Guozi was sleeping soundly.

He cautiously pushed the door open, stepped over the threshold and carefully closed it again.

The corridor was deserted and unexplainable.

Tao Mo sighed and was about to head downstairs when the door next to him babbled open as well and Gu-She came out in a cloak, his dark blue silk draped over him pale blue cloak, handsome and dusty.

"You...” Tao Mo just said and covered his mouth.

Gu-She closed the door and headed downstairs first.

Tao Mo followed in his footsteps.

They slowly walked to the courtyard behind the inn.

There was a large tree planted in the yard and it was shaded.

Gu-She stepped under the trees, the thick shadows hiding his sharpness.

Tao Mo was about to approach when he heard him ask faintly, "What is your relationship with Wan Feng?"
