Chapter 105 Lawyer
After sitting on the boat for an afternoon, Gu Rao, Bie Ye and Chen Zhong finally arrived at the town of Donghuang County. When they arrived at the gate of the city, 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 that Donghuang County was so prosperous. The streets were full of people and shops, but they were orderly. A pair of officers and soldiers happened to pass by on patrol.

When the common people see the officers and soldiers, although they will take the initiative to give way, there is no fear of the officers and soldiers in their expressions, which shows that the government has not oppressed the people on weekdays.

Gu Rao felt much more at ease.

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

It's just that she is afraid of encountering corrupt people, officials who take bribes, and officials who take advantage of the wind. If someone who steals her things finds a backer, she can only be dumb and can't even tell if she is suffering.

Gu Rao stopped a young man wearing a scholar's robe and asked, "Brother, how can I get to the county government office?"

The scholar glanced at the three of them, then turned his head and pointed to the direction he came from, and said, "Go straight ahead, turn left at the fork in the road, and go straight for a while and you will be there."

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 government office, and you still carry the burden on your back. It can be seen that you have just come to the county seat not long ago, 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 first, and then write the pleadings and send them to the Yamen tomorrow, and wait for the people in the Yamen to send you."

Gu Rao was stunned.

"How long will it take?"

Scholars are familiar with this.

"Some trivial matters may be queued longer, ranging from three to four days to as many as seven or eight days, or even ten days and a half months."

"Slightly more important things, such as murder and arson, bullying, burglary, etc., will be faster. The government will accept your case within two or three days at most."

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

"Do you need a pleading paper?"

"To tell you the truth, I usually help people write the pleadings. You are not familiar with the place, and you can't find others. Why don't you let me write the pleadings?"

"I only charge ten pennies as a retouching fee. It's good quality and cheap, and it's safe for children and old people."

Gu Rao, "..."

I talked so much about feelings just now, so enthusiastic and proactive, so why are you here waiting for her?If you just pull a passerby, you can meet someone who wants to do her business. What kind of fate is this?
"Thank you very much then."

Although I don't know if there is a trap, but they are indeed not familiar with Donghuang County's place of life. It is worthwhile to find someone who is more familiar with them to lead the way.

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

"Below Mo is a scholar and a litigator, the three of you please follow me."
-
Gu Rao and others followed Wen Mo and came to a small courtyard. A plainly dressed woman with a beautiful appearance came out of the house.

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

Make tea for them on top.

"Three please drink tea."

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

"Thank you."

Wen Mo sat down and drank a cup of tea, and then said to his wife in a gentle manner, "Zhi'er, help me put out the pen and ink, I want to help them write the pleadings."

Lu Zhi nodded.

"it is good."

Wen Mo said to the three of Gu Rao, "I need to hear from you first, what are you going to sue for?"

Gu Rao did not directly say what he wanted to sue, but first asked tentatively, "You said you are a litigator, so besides writing pleadings, you can also help litigants win in court, right?"

Wen Mo raised his eyebrows and said with great interest, "This lady is smart, she seems to know something about this trip."

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

"I can indeed help my employer handle cases, but the appearance fee starts at [-] cash, and I have a principle that I only help victims."

"I don't know if Madam is willing to give up the money, and whether she meets the conditions of my servant."

Gu Rao said bluntly, "We can afford the money, but what if it doesn't meet your requirements? You won't earn our money?"

Wen Mo was about to refuse as before, but when he saw the looming figure of his wife in the room, he sighed and changed his words, "I can still write the pleading paper for you."

This is his bottom line.

Gu Rao laughed.

"Wen Litigation Officer, don't worry, we didn't murder and set fire, let alone bully men and women. This time, we came to the county because our things were stolen."

Wenmo became interested.

"Precious or not?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"The silver is only two taels and 350 Wen, but the gold, silver and jade jewelry I lost is worth several hundred taels. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to the stage of going to the government."

Chen Zhong was shocked.

"Boss Gu, so you guys are so rich?" He actually knew such a rich person, and even chatted happily with such a rich person?
Gu Rao pretended to be sad and said, "It was my mother's dowry to me. Now, my family has long been in ruins, and I have also 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 did he steal the money, but he also stole all your valuable jewelry!"

"At that time, the county magistrate must punish him severely!"

Wen Mo was a little surprised.

"Do you even know who the thief is?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"It's just a guess right now, but I believe in my own judgment. He should be the one who stole my things." He told Wenmo the whole story again.

After Wen Mo learned the whole process, he took over the job and wrote a pleading paper with pen and ink. After a while, the whole incident was clearly presented in the pleading paper.

Let people understand at a glance.

After reading the pleadings, Gu Rao became somewhat sure of Wen Mo's ability.

Wen Mo said, "If you are not in a hurry, go to the yamen with me now, deliver the pleadings, and then I will take you to the inn together."

Gu Rao didn't want to trouble him.

"I don't need to bother Mr. Wen about finding the inn."

Wen Moya smiled.

"My father-in-law opened an inn and brought you there to introduce business to his family. How can it be troublesome?"

"You don't mind staying at the inn of my father-in-law's house?"

Gu Rao, "..."

This scholar has something, and his business scope is so wide!
"do not mind."

At the bottom of my heart, I planned to be slaughtered for a fortune. If the price offered by the inn was too high, I would refuse it and change to another inn.

The four of them went to the Yamen first.

Gu Rao and Bie Ye didn't do anything, just watched Wen Mo beat the drum, and then the official came out, explained the purpose of drumming in a few words, and then went in with the official with the pleading paper.

After a while.

Wen Mo came out and said, "The matter is settled, and I also informed the officials of the inn where you are staying, and wait for them to come to you."
