Chapter 286 Decision
Gu Qingcheng was not satirized by Wen Yun's words, and said calmly, "Life is at stake today, I can't just sit idly by."

"As for the past..."

"Before I got married, Nuan Nuan knew that I didn't want to be an official in the court. I also told her that I would never be an official in the court in my life, and she agreed."

Wen Yun pointed at Gu Qingcheng's fingers and trembled, obviously very angry, and finally flung his sleeves and gave up continuing to argue with him.

This time it is not without progress, at least the son-in-law has agreed to take the road of imperial examination.

And he also believes that his son-in-law is a talent.

As long as the son-in-law is willing, it is a very simple matter to get a fame.

The letter was written quickly, and the officials sent it to Donghuang County as quickly as possible.

Gu Rao's tense mood was relieved a bit, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment. After breaking up with Gu Qingcheng, he returned to Donghuang County alone.

It was a matter of her husband's life and safety. She couldn't trust anyone but her own eyes.

Soon, the three-day deadline came.

Gu Rao came to the cell door early in the morning and gave the jailer a tael of silver before being allowed to visit.

"Sir, I'm here to see you."

Bie Ye stood up from the bed, walked to the prison door, held Gu Rao's hand, looked her over, and said, "Did you not eat well these days?"

Gu Rao wanted to cry but had no tears.

"When is this, you still have the mind to think about these things!"

Bie Ye continued, "You didn't have a lot of meat on your body, but now you are hungry and thin, and your cheeks are almost sunken. Go out and eat something."

Gu Rao shook his head.

"I finally came in. The jailer gave me a stick of incense time. I don't want to waste my time visiting you. I will have a good meal after I get out. You don't have to worry about me, worry about yourself."

Bie Ye was silent for a moment.

"sorry for bothering you."

"I didn't expect that he would fall directly in front of me with that punch. If I hadn't been so impulsive, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."

Gu Rao comforted, "It's not your fault."

"The people who framed us have identities and backgrounds, and they hide in the dark. We can hide from the first day of junior high school, but not the fifteenth day. They will do it sooner or later."

Bie Ye asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Gu Rao shook his head.

"I don't have a clue yet, but..."

Beye asked, "But what?"

Gu Rao hesitated for a moment, but still told the story of her meeting with Gu Qingcheng's uncle and nephew, and the fact that the eunuch pretended to be ill and refused to come when he met the prefect.

Then discuss it with Bie Ye.

"Why did he temporarily change his mind and not come?"

"Could it be that the backstage of the person who framed you is higher than the prefect's position, someone the prefect can't afford to offend, so he doesn't dare to uphold justice for you, for fear of offending the people behind the scenes?"

Bieye was thoughtful.

"If it's as you guessed, the grievances on my body may not be washed away."

"However, things may not be as complicated as you think."

"You said that the prefect changed his mind after receiving his daughter's letter, then it should be his daughter, the wife of Dean Gu, who did not let the prefect interfere in this matter."

"Dean Gu's wife seems to have known about your existence from the very beginning, and also knew that Dean Gu would go to ask the prefect."

Gu Rao was very puzzled.

"I don't know her before, and we have no grievances or enmities. Why doesn't she want the prefect to intervene in this matter? Even if I don't have a relationship with my uncle, even if other people encounter this kind of county magistrate, I don't care about it." In case of injustice, you can also seek justice from the prefect, right?"

Bie Ye said, "I didn't have the slightest idea at first, but now I have a bold guess."

Gu Rao frowned slightly.

"You said."

Bie Ye said, "If it's a business competition, it's just for making money. There's no need to risk human life. This time, using human life as a calculation is to put things to death."

"It shouldn't be the means used by our business competitors against us."

"We guessed in the wrong direction at first."

Gu Rao's heart tightened suddenly, his expression changed from unbelievable to thoughtful.

"You mean, the person who hurt us is probably my uncle's wife?"

Before Bie Ye could answer, she already had the answer herself.

"Yes."

"What a coincidence that her letter came."

"If it's really her, the prefect will definitely protect his daughter, what should we do?"

She scratched her head irritably.

"I really can't figure out what kind of enmity I have with her. She wants to use such vicious schemes to frame me!"

"If it's really her, you should also be implicated by me!"

Bieye straightened her messy hair.

"Don't be discouraged."

"At least we have a little clue now, which is better than knowing nothing before."

Gu Rao grabbed Bie Ye's hand.

"I won't let anything happen to you, for sure."

Bie Ye smiled.

"Don't we still have a way to go?"

Gu Rao's eyes were slightly red.

"Ah."

"At first, I thought that if I recognized an uncle, I could get him to help me. Now it seems that he may also be with the murderer."

I am very disappointed.

Bieye shook his head.

"If it's really a gang, he won't help you, and he won't beg his father-in-law for you. Judging from the result of the dean's wife writing to the prefect to ask the prefect not to intervene in this matter, Gu The purpose of the dean and his wife is just the opposite."

"One wants to help us, and the other wants to harm us."

"Dean Gu's wife knew that he was going to ask the prefect for help, so she wrote that letter to stop him."

"Perhaps, Dean Gu can still be trusted."

Gu Rao was affected by Bie Ye's calmness, and his restless heart gradually calmed down. He recalled that from the time he met Gu Qingcheng to the present, his care and love for his niece is not fake, and he even loves Wujiu, for the sake of himself. Father-in-law does things he himself never wanted to do.

"I can only trust him now."

Time for a stick of incense.

Under the urging of the jailer, Gu Rao reluctantly parted from Bie Ye. Before leaving, he left some clothes, food and drink for him.

"Take good care of yourself."

"wait for me."
-
While Gu Rao was still worrying about Bie Ye's affairs, the results of the trial about Lu Zhi's murder came out.

Based on some unfounded evidence, the county magistrate hastily judged that the murderer was a deaf and dumb beggar, and ordered Qiu Hou to be executed.

Wen Mo seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, and laughed like crazy when the county magistrate was about to retire.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The onlookers outside thought he was crazy.

"Didn't the murderer be caught?"

"Why is he smiling so creepily?"

"It's terrifying."

"I should have found the murderer who killed my wife. I'm too excited."

……

A guilty conscience flashed across the county magistrate's eyes, and he turned and left even faster.

Wen Mo looked at the county magistrate's embarrassed back, a coldness and determination flashed across his eyes, the fists under his sleeves gradually tightened and loosened, and he made a decision in his heart.

Lu Xin lost his daughter in his middle age, and his hair was more than half gray. His wife, Ji Chun, was not much better, and almost went blind from crying.

The case was closed in a hurry, and they also knew in their hearts that they couldn't even say that, and the thin mute was probably not the murderer, and the unwillingness and anger in their hearts had nowhere to vent.
