Chapter 153: Snow Drifts in June

Early the next morning, everyone from the Yamen came to inform them that the stolen goods had been found from Luo Gao's house, and now Bei Chengcai and Luo Gao were arrested together in the Yamen.

Gu Rao and Bei Ye, as the lost owners, also want to go to the yamen together.

-

When they arrived in Donghuang County, it was already noon, and the people in the Yamen were taking a lunch break, Gu Rao and Beiye went to the Tianlai Inn to book a room, and after cleaning up a little, they were also ready to take a lunch break.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Rao thought it was the second shopkeeper, so she said, "I don't need hot water now, and I don't want to eat." ”

Wen Mo said with a smile, "I'm not here to deliver hot water, nor is I here to deliver food to you." ”

Gu Rao heard the voice, turned over and sat up from the bed, put on her coat and said to Beiye, "It's a lawyer, you go and open the door for him." ”

Besno opened the door.

Wen Mo walked in, sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and took a sip before saying, "Your case should be coming to an end." ”

Besino, "That's a good thing. ”

Wen Mo nodded.

"I came here today, first, to congratulate you, and second, I suspect that this case has a lot to do with other talents."

"Last time I was in court, I noticed that there was a lawsuit between Li Shen and Bei Chengcai."

"Before Li Shen went to your house to steal, he clearly didn't know you, and Bei Chengcai had a holiday with you, so I suspect that the person who masterminded the theft was Bei Chengcai."

"In addition, by chance, I learned that Li Moer was pregnant, and the child was still different."

"I suspect that Li Shen is because his beloved sister is pregnant with a child who is not talented, and he doesn't want his sister to have no home in the future, so he has not confessed to his other talents."

Gu Rao's eyes lit up.

"I've had that suspicion for a long time, too."

"The rest of the jewelry flowed out of Bei Chengcai's house this time, which further verified that my suspicion was correct, he was the mastermind behind it, and Li Shen was used as a gun by him."

Wen Mo sighed.

"Although Li Shen is not a good person, from the people who know him, we can also know that he used to be a fairly honest and generous person."

"It's a pity that he attaches too much importance to family affection, and now that Li Mo'er is pregnant with a child who is not a talent, even for the sake of his sister and unborn nephew, he probably won't recruit another talent."

"According to the law of our country, the theft of a hundred taels of silver is punishable by death."

"How much is your lost jewelry worth?"

Gu Rao said firmly, "Even if you go to the pawnshop to pawn, you can pawn at least two hundred taels of silver." ”

Gold and silver jewelry alone is already worth a hundred taels, and there is also jade that is missing, and people in this era are particularly sought after for jade, and her jade jewelry is still made of good materials.

Wen Mo had a number in his heart.

"If Li Shen is willing to confess that he was instructed by someone, although it is inevitable to commit a living crime, he will be imprisoned for at least ten years, but at least he can be exempted from the death penalty."

Gu Rao raised her eyebrows.

"The lawyer pities him?"

Wen Mo shook his head, looking a little helpless.

"If you can't beat the person with eight poles, why do I care about his life or death?"

"I can't hide it, it was Li Mo'er who begged to come to my house, and my wife is a soft-hearted woman, I learned that she was pregnant, although I didn't agree with her unmarried pregnancy, but I still pity her for being abandoned by her beloved, and she is about to lose her brother who depends on her, so I asked me to help turn around."

Gu Rao narrowed her eyes.

"You're the lawyer we hired, and now you're trying to help the sister of the man who stole our things?"

Wen Mo coughed lightly.

"You and I both know that Li Shen is not the mastermind behind it, and the person who really led this theft is Don Chengcai, don't you want the real culprit to be brought to justice?"

Gu Rao looked at Beiye.

"What do you think?"

Although Bei Chengcai is a little hateful, but Bei Ye grew up under the same roof as Bei Chengcai after all, what if there is actually a trace of family affection for Bei Chengcai in his heart?

Besino's expression was indifferent.

"He had people steal your things, and he hid them in a bucket of Gong, and he soiled your things, so it's not a pity to die."

Wen Mo squirted out a mouthful of tea.

"Gong Bucket!?"

Gu Rao was glad that she reacted in time and dodged in time when Wenmo sprayed tea, otherwise she would have been sprayed all over now, but even if she dodged most of them, the position of the cuffs was still splashed a little.

He shook his hand and shook the tea off his sleeve.

Wen Mo touched his nose in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I was excited for a while, and I couldn't control myself."

What else can Gu Rao say?

"It's okay, I'll do it in a while."

Having said that, she decided to wait for Wenmo to leave and go to the space to change her clothes, she really couldn't stand wearing clothes that had been spatted all day!

Even if it's just a little bit of it.

Wen Mo thought of what had just happened again, and showed an expression of incomprehension and shock.

"No wonder the yamen has never been able to find the whereabouts of those jewelry, it turned out that he hid them in the gong bucket, who would have thought that someone would hide valuable things in that kind of pickled place!"

The corners of Gu Rao's mouth twitched.

"You know so much about Bei Chengcai and Li Shen, and even about Li Shen's sister Li Mo'er, I thought you knew everything."

Wen Mo was embarrassed to stay, got up and said, "While the court hasn't opened yet, I'll go to Li Mo'er, tell her the truth of the matter, let her choose whether she wants a brother or a man, and then take her to the prison cell, let her persuade her brother, as long as she is relieved, Li Shen will not use his life to protect Bei Chengcai." ”

The back almost ran away.

-

In less than three minutes, the yamen opened a court to hear the case.

Gu Rao is still a little unaccustomed to the rule of this era, and you have to kneel when you see an official, but since she is already in this era, she can only follow the customs.

Kneel in the plaintiff's position with Besano.

Wenmo is also talented and famous, she can see the official without kneeling, standing upright to the side, seeing Gu Rao's eyes are a little hot, if she is a man, she will definitely take the road of the imperial examination in this era.

It's a pity that she's a woman.

Seeing that his wife had been staring at Wen Mo, Bei Ye's brows furrowed, his wide hand grasped Gu Rao's small hand, and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?" ”

Gu Rao also bit his ear with him.

"Let's see what's wrong?"

Beiye's thin lips pursed slightly.

"Not really."

Gu Rao raised her eyebrows, waited for a while, and sure enough, Beiye didn't hold back first, and asked with a hint of vinegar, "Do you think he is better looking than me?" ”

Most women like weak scholars, who are both erudite and talented, and can coax people, and they are rough men like five big and three rough, and they are not at all popular compared with scholars with polite qualities.

Gu Rao squeezed his hand.

"Where do you want to go?"

"It's just a pity that I'm not a man, if I were a man, I would definitely have to take the test to gain fame, at least take the test for a show or something, and I won't kneel when I see an official in the future."

As he spoke, he hammered his knee.

"It's so the ground, I knew I should have put a few layers of cushion on my knees."

Sunan walked to the hall at some point, and looked at the two people below who were still flirting and scolding as if no one else was on top of the solemn public hall, and his heart seemed to have a hole.

It's clearly a June day, but the hole in my heart is snowing in June.

Did Rao'er deliberately do it to show him, wanting him to completely break his thoughts? Or are you complaining that he didn't protect her in the first place, so you want to take revenge on him in this way and make him uncomfortable?
