After an afternoon on the boat, Gu Rao, Beiye and Chen Zhong finally came to the county seat of Donghuang County, and when they came to the city gate, they were stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

After checking and finding no weapons, they were let in.

After entering, Gu Rao's eyes lit up.

I didn't expect it to be just a Donghuang County, It was so prosperous, the streets were full of people and shops, but it was orderly, and it happened to be a pair of officers and soldiers patrolling and walking by.

When the people saw the officers and soldiers, although they would take the initiative to give way, there was no fear of the officers and soldiers in their expressions, which showed that the government did not oppress the people on weekdays.

Gu Rao's heart is a lot more stable.

It's not that she's afraid of seeing officials.

It's just that I'm afraid of encountering common people and corrupt and bribed officials, This kind of official sees the wind and steers, in case the person who stole her things finds a backer, she can only be dumb and can't even say that she suffers.

Gu Rao stopped a young man in a scholar's robe and asked, "This eldest brother, how can I get to the county office?" ”

The scholar glanced at the three of them, then turned back and pointed in the direction he came from, and said, "Keep going forward, turn left at the fork in the road, and walk straight for a while." ”

Gu Rao said, "Thank you." ”

He was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the scholar.

"Where are you from?"

Gu Rao said, "Wild Boar Town."

The scholar asked again, "Are you here to report to the official?" ”

Gu Rao nodded.

The scholar said kindly, "You haven't even been to the county office, and you are still carrying a burden, so it can be seen that you have just come to the county seat for a long time, and you don't know that you have to go through the process of reporting to the official."

"I advise you to find an inn to stay in first, and then go and write a written statement and send it to the yamen tomorrow, and wait for the people from the yamen to send you."

Gu Rao was stunned.

"How long will it take?"

Scholars are familiar with this.

"Some trivial things may last for a long time, as little as three or four days, as many as seven or eight days, or even ten days and half a month."

"Slightly more important things, such as murder and arson, bullying men and women, burglary and the like, will be faster, and the government will accept your case in two or three days at most."

After looking at the three of them for a while, he said, "You guys came here from Wild Boar Town, it shouldn't be for trivial things like quarrels and fights with people, right?" ”

"Do I need a writing sheet?"

"I won't tell you anything, I usually help people write pleadings, you are not familiar with life, and you can't find others, why don't you let me write pleadings?"

"I only charge ten cents for the pen fee, which is good and cheap, and there is no deception."

Gu Rao, "......"

The feelings just said so much, so enthusiastic and proactive, it turned out that she was waiting for her here? Any passer-by can meet someone who wants to do her business, what kind of fate is this?

"Thank you very much."

Although I don't know if there is a pit, they are indeed not familiar with the life of Donghuang County, and it is worth spending ten cents to find someone familiar to lead the way.

The scholar smiled more and more sincerely, and gave them a scholarly salute.

"In the following, Mo is a showman and a lawyer, please come with me."

-

Gu Rao and the others followed behind Wen Mo and came to a small courtyard, where a plainly dressed but beautiful-looking woman walked out of the house.

After seeing the three of them, he smiled at them, then went back to the house, brought out a few chairs, beckoned them to sit down, and brought a small rattan table.

Make tea for them on top.

"Three of you, please have tea."

It was the first time for Gu Rao to see this kind of woman who was full of gentleness in her gestures, and she was a little restrained.

"Thank you."

Wenmo sat down and drank a cup of tea, and then said to his wife gently, "Zhi'er, help me put the pen and ink out, I want to help them write the paper." ”

Lu Zhi nodded.

"Okay."

Wen Mo said to Gu Rao and the others, "I need to listen to you first, what do you want to complain about." ”

Gu Rao didn't directly say what she wanted to sue, but asked tentatively first, "You said that you are a lawyer, then, in addition to writing pleadings, you can also help the lawsuit win in court, right?" ”

Wen Mo raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "This lady is smart, it seems that she knows something about this trip." ”

"Then I won't go around in circles."

"It is true that you can help the employer deal with the case, but the appearance fee starts at 500 yuan, and there is a principle below, only help the victim."

"I don't know if Madame is reluctant to give up the money, and she doesn't meet the conditions below."

Gu Rao said bluntly, "We will pay the money, but what if it doesn't meet your conditions?" You don't make our money? ”

Wen Mo was about to open his mouth to refuse as before, but after seeing the looming figure of his wife in the house, he sighed and changed his words, "I can still write it for you for ten cents." ”

This is his final bottom line.

Gu Rao smiled.

"Rest assured, we didn't kill people and set fires, let alone bully men and women, this time we came to the county because the things at home were stolen."

Wenmo became interested.

"Precious or not?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"There are only two taels and three hundred and fifty taels of silver, but the gold, silver, and jade jewelry I lost are worth hundreds of taels, otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten to the point of seeing the official."

Chen Zhong was shocked.

"Boss Gu, it turns out that you are so rich?" He actually knows such a rich person, and he still talks and laughs with such a rich person?

Gu Rao pretended to be sad and said, "It was the dowry left to me by my mother, and now, the family has long since declined, and I am separated from my parents." ”

Chen Zhong's eyes showed sympathy.

"It turned out to be the dowry left by your mother, Li Shen is too hateful, not only stealing money, but also stealing all your valuable jewelry!"

"When the time comes, we must let the county master punish him severely!"

Wen Mo was a little surprised.

"You even know who the thief is?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"It's just speculation at this point, but I trust my judgment that he should be the one who stole my things." told Wen Mo the whole story again.

After Wenmo learned the whole process, he took over the job, wrote a piece of paper with pen and ink, and after a while, the beginning and end of the incident were clearly presented in the paper.

It is easy to understand at a glance.

After Gu Rao read the paper, she was somewhat sure of Wenmo's ability.

Wen Mo said, "If you are not in a hurry, come with me to the yamen now, send the paper, and then I will take you to the inn together." ”

Gu Rao didn't want to trouble him.

"If you are looking for an inn, you won't bother Mr. Wen."

Wen Murya smiled.

"My father-in-law opened an inn and brought you over to introduce business to his family, how can it be considered troublesome?"

"You don't mind staying at your father-in-law's inn, do you?"

Gu Rao, "......"

This show has a little thing, and the business scope is so wide!

"Don't mind."

In my heart, I was ready to be Dazai, and if the price given by the inn was too high, it would be a big deal to refuse and change to another inn.

The four of them went to the Yamen first.

Gu Rao and Beiye didn't do anything, they just watched Wenmo beat the drum, and then the official messenger came out, explained the purpose of the drumming in a few words, and then took the paper and went in with the official messenger.

After a while.

Wen Mo came out and said, "The matter is done, and I have also informed the official that the inn where you are staying, wait for them to come to you." ”
