Gu Wanwan stood in front of the public court and bowed slightly to the official who was trying the case in front of her: "Master Li, don't come unharmed, I have to trouble you to try the trial for me today, and see how hard this skin-breaking thief will be?" ”

Master Li repeatedly said that he didn't dare, because of his official position, he could only bow and grovel to Gu Wanwan, turned around and called Gu Mu's name with angry eyebrows.

Gu Mu had been waiting here for a long time, and Gu Mu only smiled at Lord Li's angry words: "Lord Li, today's villain's life experience is going to bother Lord Li Mingjian." ”

"As the parent official of everyone in Chang'an, Lord Li naturally wants to have a clean breeze on his sleeves, be upright, and know everything, right?"

Master Li snorted lightly, flicked his sleeves and said, "That's natural, this official has been an official for many years, and the trial and judgment of cases are the fairest, and all of them use evidence to speak." No favoritism! ”

Gu Wanwan and Gu Mu stood side by side, and a large circle of people crowded outside the court. In fact, there has long been an answer in the hearts of the people.

That is, Gu Mu is the illegitimate son of Master Gu, and he has never come to the Gu family to recognize his relatives.

And Gu Wanwan had known Gu Mu's identity for a long time, but she didn't want to admit it, because she didn't want Gu Mu to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors.

In fact, the judgment of the people is not based on any so-called evidence, they just choose to judge according to their own preferences.

Most of the people have no real view of right and wrong, they only have a sense of likes and dislikes.

When ordinary people see two people quarreling, the first thing that comes to mind is not why they quarreled, what happened and what the truth of the matter is. Instead, they will take the initiative to feel sorry for the weaker side.

They will feel that the weak side must have been coerced by the strong side, and the strong must have done something wrong.

This is subconscious, and it is also self-righteous and kind.

Just like now, Gu Wanwan is powerful and has a family property, Gu Mu has nothing in Baiding, and she has traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an to recognize her relatives.

In the eyes of the people of Liming, Gu Wanwan was a bully, she deliberately didn't want Gu Mu to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, and she deliberately made things difficult for him. They wouldn't think about it at all, why did a Gu Mu who came all the way to recognize his relatives appear out of thin air?

Why did he come to recognize his relatives at this time, why didn't he come before, why did he come now, where was he before, how did he know the information of the Gu family, and how did the jade pendant in his hand prove that it was Gu Mu's own?

The people don't think about this, the people only think that Gu Mu is weak and pitiful, and they subconsciously think that Gu Mu will not deceive people, Gu Mu must have gone through a lot of difficulties before he came to recognize his relatives.

As everyone knows, many scams often take advantage of the people's sympathy for the weak.

Gu Wanwan even understood the psychology of the people, so she chose to act in such a play with Gu Mu in public. Although one's reputation will be reduced in the eyes of the people, the chances of achieving one's goals will increase.

"Alright, quiet!" Master Li in the hall "snapped" and slapped the shocking wood, and the public hall was quiet for a moment. Master Li beckoned to the waiting master to start writing.

The master nodded knowingly, moistened the pen in his hand, and Lord Li asked again, "Submit the physical evidence." Hearing this, Gu Mu immediately handed over the jade pendant in his hand, Gu Wanwan thought about it and took off the jade pendant on her waist and handed it over together.

The carvings of the word "Gu" on the two jade pendants are relatively obvious, hidden in the ornamentation of the jade pendants, and Lord Li can see the mystery at a glance when he sweeps them. Putting the two jade pendants on the desk, he asked, "Since this jade pendant is real, Gu Wan, why do you think that Gu Mu is not the Gu family?" ”

"Lord Li, although the jade pendant is real, but the jade pendant has no spirit, naturally whoever wants to hold it can hold it, and this jade pendant may also be snatched by Gu Mu from someone, and it can't prove Gu Mu's identity just because of the jade pendant."

"It makes sense, there is no owner of the jade pendant, so naturally whoever holds it will have the final say." Master Li nodded in agreement, and after speaking, he looked at Gu Mu and asked, "In that case, Gu Mu, what else do you have to say?" Do you have proof that you are the owner of the jade pendant? ”

Gu Mu shook his head sincerely, and he said: "Since the adults have said that the jade pendant has no owner, naturally whoever holds it has the final say, then no matter what I say now, I can't prove that I am the original owner of the jade pendant." ”

Gu Wanwan snorted coldly when she heard this, and scolded coldly: "I said, what is fake is fake, and it will never become true in a lifetime." ”

Master Li also felt that Gu Mu was fake at this time, and there was no way to prove himself, but he was a little strange about Gu Mu's motives. He traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an with a jade pendant to find relatives, and there were hardships and dangers along the way, why did he put so much effort into a future that didn't know the result?

What's more, just by virtue of the word "Gu" on a piece of jade pendant, how did Gu Mu determine that this jade pendant was Gu Wanwan's father's?

It really doesn't make sense.

The onlookers were also a little incomprehensible, although Yu Pei couldn't speak and admit that Gu Mu was his master, but Gu Mu was rushing to find the Gu family with Yu Pei, could it be fake?

Gu Mu sighed, and said to Gu Wanwan and Master Li: "The villain really didn't expect that Lord Gu was so narrow-minded, and for the sake of the Gu family's family property, he was willing to go against his father's last wishes and not let me recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. Lord Gu is really courageous, Gu admires it. ”

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, Li Daren waved his hand, and the official on the side hurriedly stopped him. Master Li frowned lightly and asked, "What do you mean?" Do you have anything to prove your identity that Master Gu left behind before his death? ”

Gu Wanwan didn't wait for Gu Mu to answer, then snorted lightly and said, "Naturally no, my father didn't mention to me before he died that he raised an illegitimate child in the outer room outside." Lord Li, my father has been devoted to you all his life, and you should know that he will not give birth to a brother older than me outside! ”

The more Gu Wanwan spoke, the more excited she became, and she almost yelled out at the end. In fact, Gu Wanwan was still a little humble when she said these words, after all, Master Gu was honest all his life, and he never had a concubine in the family. And now, in order to complete her plan, she has no choice but to pour a bucket of dirty water on Master Gu's body.

Master Li frowned after being interrupted by Gu Wanwan, he could understand that Gu Wanwan knew that his father's reputation was slandered, and he was a little excited, but he was still a little angry because of Gu Wanwan's actions.

After all, it is above the public court, and no one wants their authority to be interfered with.

Therefore, Master Li knocked on the shocking wood and reprimanded Gu Wanwan and said, "Gu Wan, this is above the court, do you know what crime you should be guilty of roaring in the court?" ”
