Spatial Farming: Rough Man Orion Dotes on His Wife Too Much

Chapter 284
Xin Guanghui asked back, "They've already killed people, and they're not serious criminals. To Dean Gu, what kind of criminal is a serious criminal?"

Gu Qingcheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Xin Guanghui said, "Bieye murdered people in the street. His crime is unpardonable. I didn't sentence him to beheaded immediately, but let him live for three more days. It's all kindness to him!"

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

"This case is full of doubts. I hope you will see clearly and don't wrong the good man!"

Xin Guanghui changed his previous compliment.

"You saw it with your own eyes, didn't he kill the person?"

Gu Qingcheng said earnestly, "There are witnesses who can prove that the deceased died of poisoning and was not beaten to death..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted bluntly by Xin Guanghui.

"You mean, someone bribed Wu Zuo to make him lie? Wu Zuo is a member of the official, so is it possible that the official will cover up the prisoner?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Retire!"

Gu Rao grabbed Bie Ye's hand and solemnly promised, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely not let you have any trouble!"

Instead, Bie Ye came over to comfort her.

"Don't worry too much."

"take care of yourself."

Gu Rao nodded heavily.

"Ah."

The other party has a lot of people and is still a member of the government, she can't resist, she can only watch helplessly as the yamen servants take Bieye away.

After they came out, Gu Qingcheng said to Gu Rao, "This incident reveals something strange from the beginning to the end, and someone must have deliberately framed it."

"We don't have much time left. We must find the murderer of Bieye within three days."

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

Gu Rao shook his head.

"My husband and I are not people who like to cause trouble. Except for some grievances with other families, other people have never offended at all. What's more, with our identities, we should also know businessmen. If we really offend anyone, it should be There is a business conflict, let’s open a restaurant to steal their business.”

Gu Qingcheng conveniently said, "In an extraordinary period, we can only use extraordinary means. Since those people give money, we can also give money. As long as we give more, we may be able to rescue Bieye."

Gu Rao nodded.

"I can take out all my savings, but the restaurant is not owned by me alone, and there are two friends' business shares in it. If I want to sell it, 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 bank notes from his pocket.

"This is 2000 taels of silver. You take it first. If it is not enough, I will help you find a solution together."

Gu Rao didn't refuse.

"Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Although you are my uncle, I can't take your money for nothing. I borrowed this money from you. After helping my husband through this crisis, we can make money together Give it back to you slowly."

Gu Qingcheng patted Gu Rao's head.

"Silly girl, you are the only blood left by the eldest brother. I should take care of you for him, and I treat you as my own daughter. How can I ask her to pay back the money given to my own daughter?"

"Don't 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.

"it is good."
-
The two came to the county magistrate's mansion. When they walked through the main entrance, the concierge informed them and came back to tell them that the county magistrate had already fallen asleep.

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

The porter waved impatiently.

"If you want to wait for someone outside, stand a little farther away, and don't stand at the door blocking the door."

It is 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, and you don't wear much clothes. Don't catch the cold wind here. You go back first, give me the money, and I will handle this matter."

Gu Rao shook his head.

"No."

"I have to deal with this matter myself. 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 put it on your shoulders."

Gu Rao froze for a moment.

"No."

"You are wearing thin clothes. I am a young man in good health. It's okay to blow some wind. You..." At this point, you realized that your words seemed a bit hurtful, so you quickly changed your words, "I wear two jackets underneath. Underwear, it’s just invisible, it wears more than you, so you should keep it for yourself.”

Without waiting for Gu Rao's reaction, Gu Qingcheng directly put the coat on her shoulders.

"Don't be brave."

Gu Rao couldn't refuse anymore, so he could only accept Gu Qingcheng's kindness.

The two waited at the door for nearly two hours.

Gu Rao's legs went limp.

Gu Qingcheng's complexion is also not good.

"Today is not a rest day, but he sleeps in at home. Is that why he is the county magistrate? Or is he avoiding us on purpose?"

Gu Rao guessed, "Yesterday he was quite respectful to you. Apart from seeing that you are the dean of Qiushui Academy, he should also be afraid of your status as the son-in-law of the prefect of Ningzhou. Why is he suddenly not afraid today? Woolen cloth?"

"Could it be that the person who framed us has a stronger background than the eunuch?"

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

Gu Rao frowned slightly.

"I can't delay like this any longer, I don't want to continue sitting here waiting to die!"

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

Gu Rao said firmly, "Since the county magistrate is unwilling to deal with this matter, I will go directly to the prefect. I don't believe it. All officials are as corrupt as the county magistrate!"

Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment.

"Let me go with you. If you go to the county alone, you may have to go through some twists and turns before you can meet the prefect. I will take you there to meet him directly."

Gu Rao once again felt what it means to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

"it is good."
-
The two traveled day and night, and they arrived at the county seat in only one day. Without any delay, they went directly to Wen's house, the county guard's mansion.

Wen Yun has always been dissatisfied with this son-in-law, and was 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, so he said calmly, "I came here this time to ask for something."

"My son-in-law has a niece and son-in-law who were framed and wronged, and the magistrate of Donghuang County is a corrupt person. It is clear that the case is full of doubts, but he turns a blind eye. It is obvious that he was bought. We have no choice but to Don't come and ask your father-in-law to uphold justice for your son-in-law's niece and son-in-law."

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

"Now you know how to ask for help?"

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

"Now even a county magistrate can't deal with it!"

"Look at your prospects!"

"If it wasn't for Nuan Nuan's insistence on marrying you, how could I let my daughter suffer from marrying you!"
