Xin Guanghui asked rhetorically, "They have already killed people, and they are not felons, for Dean Gu, what kind of criminals are considered felons?" ”

Gu Qingcheng was speechless for a while.

Xin Guanghui said, "Don't kill people on the street, the crime is unforgivable, this official did not sentence him to be beheaded immediately, but let him live for three more days, it is all merciful to him!" ”

Gu Qingcheng retorted, "He didn't kill people!" ”

"This case is full of suspicions, and I hope that the adults will be aware of everything and don't wronged good people!"

Xin Guanghui changed his previous compliment to him.

"You saw with your own eyes that he didn't kill people?"

Gu Qingcheng said seriously, "There are witnesses who can prove that the deceased died of poisoning, not by someone ......."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xin Guanghui bluntly.

"You mean, somebody bought off the basto and made the liar? If he is an official, is it possible that this official will shield the prisoner? ”

"Hugh will talk nonsense again!"

"Quit!"

Gu Rao grabbed Beiye's hand and solemnly promised, "Don't be afraid, I won't let you have anything to do!" ”

Beno came over to comfort her.

"Don't be in too much of a hurry."

"Take care of yourself."

Gu Rao nodded heavily.

"Hmm."

The other party was overwhelmed, and it was still from the government, so she couldn't resist, so she could only watch the officials escort Beiye away.

-

After they came out, Gu Qingcheng said to Gu Rao, "This matter is strange from beginning to end, someone must have deliberately framed it." ”

"We don't have much time left, and we must find the murderer of Besano within three days."

"Think about it, what kind of people with backgrounds have you offended recently?"

Gu Rao shook her head.

"Neither I nor Xianggong like to cause trouble, except for some grievances with other families, no one else has been offended at all, not to mention, with our identity, the people we know should also be businessmen, if we really offend anyone, it should be a business conflict, we opened a restaurant to rob their business."

Gu Qingcheng said, "In extraordinary times, we can only use extraordinary means, since those people give money, we can also give money, as long as we give more, maybe we can save Beiye." ”

Gu Rao nodded.

"I can take out all my savings, but the restaurant is not mine alone now, and I still have two friends' business shares in it, and I want to sell it, and I have to negotiate with them and give them some compensation."

"I don't know how much money is enough."

Gu Qingcheng took out two silver tickets from his arms.

"This is two thousand taels of silver, you take it first, if it's not enough, I'll help you find a way together."

Gu Rao did not refuse.

"My brother still has to settle accounts, although you are my uncle, but I can't take your money in vain, I borrowed this money from you, and after helping the prime minister get through this crisis, we will make money together and slowly return it to you."

Gu Qingcheng touched Gu Rao's head.

"Silly girl, you are the only bloodline left by the eldest brother, I should take care of you for him, and I treat you as my own daughter, how can I give my biological daughter the silver and let her pay it back?"

"You don't have to be stressed, no matter what happens, Uncle will help you."

Gu Rao's heart was moved.

"Thank you, uncle."

Gu Qingcheng said, "I'll go with you." ”

Gu Rao nodded.

"Okay."

-

The two came to the prefectural magistrate's mansion, and when they walked through the main gate, the concierge helped to report it, and then came back to tell them that the prefectural magistrate had fallen asleep.

Gu Rao said, "We can wait for him to wake up before going in." ”

The porter waved his hand impatiently.

"If you want to wait outside, stand farther away by yourself, and don't stand at the door blocking the door."

It's late autumn now, and the autumn style is bleak.

Gu Rao and Gu Qingcheng stood under a big tree next to the mansion and waited.

"Uncle, you go back to the inn first."

Gu Qingcheng frowned and said, "You are a weak woman, you don't have much clothing, don't blow the cool breeze here, you go back first, give me the money, and I will deal with this matter." ”

Gu Rao shook her head.

"Nope."

"I have to deal with this matter personally, and if I don't see him safe with my own eyes, I can't feel at ease even if I go back."

Gu Qingcheng took off his coat.

"You're draped over your shoulders."

Gu Rao was stunned for a moment.

"Nope."

"You are also wearing thin clothes, my young man is in good health, it's nothing to blow a little wind, you ......" Speaking of this, realizing that his words seemed to be a little hurtful, he quickly changed his words, "I wore two undershirts inside, but I couldn't see it, I wore more than you, you better keep it yourself." ”

Gu Qingcheng didn't wait for Gu Rao's reaction, and directly draped his coat over her shoulders.

"Don't be pushy."

Gu Rao couldn't refuse again, so she could only accept Gu Qingcheng's kindness.

The two waited at the door for nearly two hours.

Gu Rao's legs were weak.

Gu Qingcheng's face was not good.

"Today is not the day of rest, but he is sleeping lazily at home, is this how he is the county magistrate? Or is he deliberately avoiding us? ”

Gu Rao guessed, "Yesterday he was quite respectful to you, in addition to looking at the face of you being the dean of Qiushui Academy, he should still be afraid that you are the son-in-law of Ningzhou Taishou, why is he suddenly not afraid today?" ”

"Could it be that the person who framed us is harder in the background than Taishou?"

Gu Qingcheng said, "Your guess is not impossible. ”

Gu Rao's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"I can't delay it any longer, I don't want to sit here any longer!"

Gu Qingcheng asked, "What other plans do you have?" ”

Gu Rao said with a firm expression, "Since the county order refuses to deal with this matter, I will go directly to the Taishou, I don't believe it, all officials are as corrupt as the county order!" ”

Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment.

"I'll go with you, if you go to the county town alone, it may take some twists and turns to meet Taishou, I'll take you to see him directly."

Gu Rao felt once again that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

"Okay."

-

The two of them traveled under the stars and nights, and it only took one day to rush to the county seat, without the slightest delay, and went directly to the Wen family, the county guard's mansion.

Wen Yun has always been dissatisfied with this son-in-law, and he is very indifferent to the fact that he came to visit alone.

"Why didn't you come with Nuan Nuan?"

Gu Qingcheng had long been accustomed to his father-in-law's indifferent attitude towards him, and said indifferently, "I came this time to ask for something. ”

"The son-in-law has a niece and son-in-law who was framed and wronged, and now the county magistrate of Donghuang County is a corrupt person, and the case is full of suspicions, but he turned a blind eye, it is obvious that he was bought, we have no choice, we have to come and ask the father-in-law to administer justice for the niece and son-in-law of the son-in-law."

Wen Yun sneered and put the teacup on the table heavily.

"Now you know how to ask for someone?"

"If it weren't for your lack of progress, being content with the status quo, and using your talent, why would you be trapped in a small wild boar county as a dean?"

"Now I can't even deal with a county order!"

"Look at your appearance!"

"If Nuan Nuan hadn't insisted on marrying you at the beginning, how could this official let his daughter marry you and suffer!"
