Busy with official duties
Gu Rao knew that Wen Mo's guess was not unreasonable. When Sunan was still the county magistrate, no one would dare to be so bold and directly break the door and commit murder.
"Let's not think that the situation is so bad for the time being. If we don't report it to the official, we won't even know who the murderer is, so we should report it to the official."
Wenmo was silent for a long time.
"Um."

Gu Rao walked out of Wenmo's house with a heavy heart. On the way to the government office, he turned around and went to Tianlai Restaurant.
When Lu Xin saw Gu Rao, he smiled and came up to say hello.
"Boss Gu, didn't you just go out in the morning? Why did you come back so soon?" There were not many people in the inn now. He was idle and continued chatting with Gu Rao, "What I said to you yesterday, you can trust me
How do you think about it?"
"As long as you are willing to help me persuade my son-in-law to stop being stupid and stop fighting with the government, I will give you a reward of twenty taels of silver!"
Gu Rao's rationality told her that it was best to tell the man in front of her that Lu Zhi was dead, who was thinking about his daughter, but she couldn't bear to let him know the truth, and she was afraid that he would miss everything after knowing that Lu Zhi was dead.
Blame it on Wen Mo.
Being involved in two murder cases at once, even though Gu Rao was as calm as he was, he still lost his sense of control and was so confused that he didn't know what to do next.
"No need for me to persuade him, he has already figured it out on his own."
But, everything was too late.
Lu Xin was overjoyed.
"really?"
Gu Rao nodded.
"Um."
"He plans to work with us and open a small restaurant to make some money."
Lu Xin was even happier after hearing this.
"That's good!"
"I finally let go of my tight heart. It's not that I want to influence his life, it's just that reality is like this, and no good will be rewarded for kind people."
"He puts his heart and soul into helping others, but in the end he ends up in a bad way, and others may not be grateful to him."
He quickly took out twenty taels of silver and wanted to give it to Gu Rao.
Gu Rao declined.
"I didn't do anything. He figured it out on his own. It has nothing to do with me and he doesn't have to give me money." Lu Xin quickly turned around and left without waiting for a reply.
"I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."

Gu Rao came to the Yamen and asked the official who was working outside to inform her. Originally, the official was an acquaintance of hers and his attitude towards her was okay before.
But this time his attitude towards her was particularly cold.
"I'm just a small government servant. The county magistrate is very busy and has no time to chat with you little people. If I dare to go in and help you deliver a message, you will definitely blame me. If you have any grievances, go and beat the drum yourself to complain.
Just wait for the county magistrate to accept your case."
Gu Rao was not surprised by his earth-shaking change in attitude, so he thanked him anyway, then walked to the drum stand nearby and picked up the drumsticks with both hands to play the drum.
After a while, an official came in and took her inside.
She met the new county magistrate, a middle-aged man with a big belly and big ears. After seeing her, his big mung bean eyes shone with disgust.
After Xin Guanghui sat down, the old god asked on the ground, "Who is there in the hall, and why are you beating the drum to complain?"
Gu Rao said, "The daughter of the people came here because of two things. One is that my husband-in-law complained that he was framed for murder and is now in prison; the other is that there was a murder case in the town, which happened to be a citizen."
My girlfriend’s wife hopes that the government will send someone to arrest the murderer.”
Xin Guanghui clicked his tongue twice.
"You are a womanizer, you have a lot of troubles, and you are actually involved in two murder cases. Could it be that you were the one who killed me?"
Gu Rao was extremely shocked. Is this what a normal county magistrate could say?
Before coming here, she had some expectations, but now after hearing the county magistrate's nonsense, she was completely disappointed in him.
Praying for this kind of county magistrate to clear her husband's name is simply wishful thinking.
She regretted that she didn't take Bieye away in time. The worst she could do was perform a missing person technique for everyone and then never come out. It was better than leaving him alone in prison and handing his life over to an unreliable person.
County magistrate.
When Xin Guanghui saw that she was silent, he thought he had been stabbed in pain, and a trace of greed appeared on his greasy face.
"You came at the right time. I was about to have lunch, but you didn't eat either, right? Let's eat together. If you have any grievances, tell me slowly. I am the most compassionate person. I won't let others dislike you.
If I despise you, I will definitely treat you well."
Walked down from the stage, walked in front of Gu Rao, bent down and reached out to touch Gu Rao's face.
Gu Rao slapped his hand away and said with a serious face, "My Lord County Magistrate, please respect yourself!"
After Xin Guanghui was rejected, instead of being angry, he even acted very excited.
"She is already very beautiful, but she becomes even more beautiful when she is angry. A beauty is a beauty. Even when she is angry, she makes people so excited!"
Gu Rao was so greasy that he didn't care about anything at the moment. He stood up and turned to leave.
Xin Guanghui's expression changed and he waved to the government officials around him.
The yamen officer wisely stopped Gu Rao.
"Boss Gu, the Yamen is not your own home. You can't come in when you want and leave when you want. You'd better stay here honestly."
Gu Rao didn't expect this group of people to be so bold.
"What do you want to do?"
Xin Guanghui smiled and looked very talkative.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I just want to treat you to a meal. You won't even give me this little face, right?"
Gu Rao looked cold.
"I've never met you, why do you want to invite me to dinner?"
Xin Guanghui smiled and said, "I didn't know him before, but now I know him, right?"
"I really don't have any other intention. It's just that you came at the right time and caught up with me when I was eating. I wanted to eat with you by the way. You can also take advantage of the time to tell me your grievances."
"As long as you are innocent, I will never let you suffer injustice!"
Gu Rao knew that his drunkard's intention was not to drink, but he also knew that there were many others and if he insisted on staying, he would not be able to leave.
She hasn't joined the others yet, so she can't act impulsively.
The current disagreement has not had a good impact on her. She can only keep her composure and make peace with the disgusting middle-aged man in front of her.
"Thank you so much, the magistrate, for your concern for the people. However, the daughter of the people has already eaten before coming here and is not hungry at all. You should just eat by yourself. The daughter of the people will not disturb your meal."
As soon as he took two steps forward, he was stopped by the yamen servant again.
The yamen servant said fiercely, "The county magistrate is kind enough to invite you to dinner, so don't be disrespectful!"
"Did you know that anyone who beats the drums will be punished with twenty large sticks?"
"My Lord, the County Magistrate, takes pity on you because you are a weak woman, so I didn't care about you just now, but you are so ignorant. Your kindness to you is really in vain!"
"I don't have any other intention in inviting you to dinner. It's just that I'm busy with official duties and there are still many cases to be dealt with before your case, so I'm taking the time to have dinner with you so that you can tell me the ins and outs of the case in detail.
"
"Since you are so unwilling, forget it. Let me handle your case slowly after I finish handling those cases."
