Exiled, the Medical Concubine emptied the warehouse and escaped from the famine

Chapter 214 Feng Si goes to jail

Seeing that the two groups were about to quarrel again, Gu Wei slammed the gavel and said in a cold voice: "Silence! Feng Yunliang, you said you went to the old county magistrate to discuss something, then tell me, what is it?"

Feng Yunliang said loudly: "Of course, let's talk..."

He suddenly choked.

"It's not convenient to say."

Gu Wei said coldly: "There are witnesses and evidence, why don't you confess?"

"I said I didn't kill him!"

Feng Yunliang was almost mad with anger. His elegant mask was completely broken. He pointed at the old county magistrate's family and cursed, "I am the boss of Sinan County. I own all the shops on the street. Do I need to kill an old county magistrate?"

Gu Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "The old county magistrate is an official appointed by the imperial court. Feng Yunliang, this matter is very serious. I hope you will confess the truth. Otherwise, the worst result will be execution in the autumn."

Feng Yunliang suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze stern, "You dare to kill me?"

Gu Wei responded calmly: "As long as the evidence is conclusive."

Feng Yunliang sneered, "Okay! Okay! Okay! Then I'll wait!"

Gu Wei didn't give him a chance to speak again, "That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow!"

After he finished speaking, he signaled the people around him to arrest Feng Yunliang.

But no one dared to move. They all watched closely, which showed how powerful the influence of the Feng family was in Sinan County.

Feng Yunliang raised his chin slightly and said, "I want to go home now. Please take your time in the trial, sir."

Xie Ling, who was dressed as a man, grabbed Gu Wei's sleeve and whispered, "Let him go."

Gu Wei watched Feng Yunliang leave with a swagger.

The yamen runners around all looked up cautiously at Gu Wei. It was unknown who knelt down first, and then everyone knelt on the ground.

They all said in unison: "Please punish us, magistrate!"

Gu Wei said calmly: "The Feng family is all-powerful. I understand your concerns, but as a soldier, military orders are as important as mountains. My orders are the most important. Everyone, you will be punished by ten strokes when you leave the house!"

After a pause, Gu Wei continued: "I hope you can trust me and believe that I can protect you."

Gu Wei said this neither lightly nor heavily. If you can listen to it, then listen to it. If you don’t, then just ignore it.

After dealing with the two cancers Feng and Si, he will carry out a bloody cleansing of the entire Sinan officialdom and clear away the dark clouds that have accumulated over Sinan County for so many years.

After all the yamen runners had left, Xie Ling said calmly, "I didn't expect the Si family to be so bold as to kill the county magistrate and frame the Feng family. Do you believe that they will frame you next?"

"letter."

Xie Ling continued: "But this may not be a bad thing for our plan."

Gu Wei nodded, "Then let's add more fuel to the fire."

After a brief discussion about the plan, Gu Wei pulled out a thick stack of stationery from the desk under the case.

All the crimes recorded above were committed by the Feng and Si families over the years, including abducting women, taking human lives, occupying other people's land at will... and so on.

This is what Gu Wei compiled from the words of the people who came to report the case these days.

These are only a small part, because many people are afraid to report the crime.

The lack of population in Sinan County is largely due to the overbearing behavior of these two families.

Xie Ling glanced at them and said, "These are very useful. Keep them. We can beat them to death later."

As soon as he finished speaking, a person suddenly walked in.

He was a fair-skinned boy who looked young, but his hands were bloody and swollen.

He looked at Gu Wei with a sincere expression.

"My Lord, I dare not approach and arrest the head of the Feng family today because I have an elderly grandmother at home and I dare not take risks with her. I have already beaten myself with 15 sticks and come here to admit my mistake."

Gu Wei recognized that this was the young man who told him that there was something strange in Jinling Lane a few days ago.

Gu Wei asked: "How do you know there is something wrong with Jinling Lane?"

The young yamen runner said seriously, "Because my parents and brother died in there."

After Feng Yunliang returned home, the first thing he did was to find the person who had accompanied him to the old county magistrate's mansion last night.

After using more than a dozen torture methods, torturing the man to the point where he would rather die than live, he raised his eyes and said, "Tell me, who is it?"

"We don't know, Patriarch, we don't know!"

"Oh, then add more!"

Feng Yunliang actually knew in his heart that it was not them.

These servants were all family-born children who had been slaves in the Feng family for generations. Even if they were given a hundred thousand guts, they would not dare to do such a thing.

But Feng Yunliang was in a bad mood and needed someone to vent his anger on.

Just when the group of servants were about to be tortured to death by him, a man hurriedly ran in from outside the house.

"Master, I have something important to report!"

Feng Yunliang raised his eyes and said, "You ignorant fellow, don't you see I'm trying someone?"

As he said that, he kicked him hard.

The servant quickly shouted, "Master, I know how the old magistrate died!"

Feng Yunliang sat up. "What? Say it."

"Today, I heard the news that the master of the family was arrested, so I rushed to the old county magistrate's mansion to see if I could find any clues to help the master. I didn't expect to hear two servants talking, saying that someone from the Si family had been to the old county magistrate's mansion!"

Feng Yunliang narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at the servant whom he had always paid attention to, and asked in a cold voice: "Are you telling the truth?"

The fat servant gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

No one knew that his hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling.

Feng Yunliang laughed loudly, "Okay! Okay! I knew it, it must be someone from the Si family who is behind this! They used to fight secretly, but now they dare to do it in the open? Okay, I'll play with them, the Si family!"

His eyes turned and fell on the fat servant, "You are not bad. Serving in the study from now on. I will reward you with 100 taels of silver!"

The fat servant kowtowed quickly, "Thank you for the reward, Master!"

He lowered his head, the man in black he had just met flashed through his mind, and he gritted his teeth. He made the right bet!

What the man in black said was indeed true!

Taking a risk for a moment will bring you wealth and glory for a lifetime. This deal is worth it!

At this time, outside the Feng family's courtyard, Xie Ling, dressed in black, saw that the fat servant had indeed told Feng Yunliang what she said, and Feng Yunliang believed it, so she turned and left.

Sometimes, the role of little people cannot be ignored.

Because they can often have a fatal effect.

Xie Ling understood everyone's psychology.

The fat servant wanted to fly high and be rich and famous.

Feng Yunliang had always suspected the Si family, and now the fat servant's words only confirmed his guess.

Xie Ling walked into Jinling Lane and happened to meet Gu Wei who was returning from the county government office.

Xie Ling asked: "What did the little yamen runner tell you?"

Gu Wei looked solemn, "He said that people have been disappearing and dying frequently in Jinling Lane for decades. People in Lingnan are superstitious, so the houses here are relatively cheap and few people live there.

When he was young, his family was poor, and his parents did not believe in superstition, so they took him and his whole family to live in the house. On the 15th day of the first lunar month, he dug a hole in the ground to play, and when he came back, his whole family was dead, and only his grandmother who crawled down the hole to find him was still dying.

He quickly took his grandmother away from the hole and found something to cover it up. But from then on, his parents disappeared in Sinan County, and all the household registration documents disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Xie Ling frowned, "Did he tell you which house he lived in before?"

"Yes. It's at No. 28 Jinling Lane."

"Go and see."

The two walked around the desolate street twice and arrived at the door of No. 28 Jinling Lane.

It looked ordinary, no different from the surrounding streets. The door was covered with thick dust, and when the wind blew, the big trees in the yard rustled.

Gu Wei kicked it and the wooden board broke into pieces, revealing a desolate inner courtyard.

It was exactly the same as what the young yamen runner had said: a big, lush tree, a dead well, and three small houses.

Gu Wei walked to the center of the yard, stepped down with his feet, and indeed felt a different vibration.

He picked up a hoe beside him and knocked it down, lifting up a thick wooden board and revealing a dark hole in the ground.

"It seems that what the bailiff said is true."

Xie Ling was puzzled, "Then why are there still people living in Jinling Lane?"

Gu Wei's eyes were deep, "Maybe there is some secret that cannot be told, so the matter of Jinling Lane has not been made public.

The yamen runner told me that he had been keeping an eye on what was happening in Jinling Lane since his parents died, and he discovered that every July 15th, when the moon was full, everyone in the lane would die tragically.

Xie Ling frowned, "Today is the 12th... there are only three days left!"

Gu Wei nodded, "So we have to find out whether it is the Feng family or the Si family who is behind this. That plan has to be brought forward."

When the two returned home, Ji Ke was sawing wood with great enthusiasm. His two strong arms were waving in the air and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Liao Qizhu, who was standing nearby, was carving delicate patterns on each piece of furniture, holding the knife with a focused look.

Temporary worker Jiangxue was mixing paints.

This is wood lacquer made from a kind of crushed red larvae and added with special fuel.

This is Liao Qizhu’s unique secret. When applied on wood, it becomes glossy and shiny, and is cold and moisture-proof. It is very practical and beautiful.

Xie Ling and Gu Wei did not dare to disturb them and quietly walked around through the corridor at the side.

Jiangxue had sharp ears and eyes, and she spotted the two people who had sneaked back. She took a look and quickly lowered her head. Her slender white hands holding the stone pestle reflected the bright red paint, creating a strong visual impact.

He has always been silent, like a shadow in the darkness, and only appears when he is needed.

Gu Wei and Xie Ling didn't call the three of them until dinner time.

Ji Ke scratched his head, his handsome face showing a bit of embarrassment, "Is there still a share for me?"

Liao Qizhu slapped him on the head, "Why are you embarrassed? The General's house is your home!"

Gu Wei chuckled, "Yes. Forget about eating. If you're bored living alone, I'll prepare a room for you and you can move in with us."

Ji Ke blinked, "Really?"

Gu Wei nodded, "Of course it's true, but we have to wait until the storm has passed."

Ji Ke was overjoyed, "Thank you, General! Hehe, I really want to live with Uncle Qizhu and Xiao Maomao."

Xiao Maomao is Liao Qizhu's nephew.

The meal was lively and joyful.

As Ji Ke drank, two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, which he quickly wiped away.

I thought there would never be days like this in my life.

After dinner, Gu Wei returned to the room and said to Xie Ling, "Ji Ke is a good horse breeder, top-notch in Beijiang. The horses in your space are almost done, you can take them out and give them to Ji Ke for training. Good horses must be trained, and it is not a good thing to keep them in the space all the time."

Xie Ling nodded, "Okay. I'm still thinking about how to deal with the horse in the space, I'm relieved to leave it to Ji Ke."

After talking, the two changed into night clothes, one went to Feng's house, and the other went to Si's house.

Planning begins.

Sijia.

Xie Ling went straight to the storeroom and started working as usual, without taking time to look closely, she swept up all the gold, silver and jewellery and put them into the space.

On the other side, Gu Wei smashed most of the Feng family’s shops on the street, and then tore off a piece of clothes from a sleeping Feng family servant.

Half an hour later.

The two met at Shenwu Street in Sinan County.

Gu Wei handed Xie Ling a piece of clothing.

"It belongs to the servants of the Feng family. Throw it into his storehouse."

Xie Ling handed Gu Wei a jade pendant.

"The second young master of the Si family has a personal jade pendant. It just so happens that he is not at home tonight. It's a perfect closed loop."

The two continued their action.

After a while, we arrived at the entrance of Jinling Lane.

Xie Ling saw a tall figure from a distance.

A simple black outfit outlines her slender figure, with a thin waist and long legs, and a high ponytail hanging down her back, making her as seductive as a male elf.

Gu Wei heard the noise and immediately turned around, rushed over and grabbed Xie Ling into his arms, holding her like a princess with one hand, smiling brightly, "Go home and sleep."

Xie Ling was also tired, so she let him toss her around and let Gu Wei carry her over the high wall, using his lightness skills to land outside their yard.

Day two.

The Feng family and the Si family had a huge quarrel.

The two families were already at odds with each other, and now the situation has become even more tense, causing their relationship to explode.

Siqi was followed by a large group of servants and guards, all holding long swords and spears, and standing at the gate of the Feng family with a menacing momentum.

As soon as Feng Yunliang woke up, he was called by the servant. He looked at Siqi with sleepy eyes.

Si Qi was so angry that her hair was all over the place and her eyes were red. She threw the long knife in her hand and said, "Fuck you! Feng Yunliang, I'm going to destroy your Feng family today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the servants behind him roared like a tidal wave, almost blowing the roof of the Feng family off.

Feng Yunliang sneered, "Second Master Si, what do you mean by this? I haven't come to you to settle the score for the murder of the old county magistrate An. How dare you come to my house?"

As soon as these words came out.

Si Qi's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal, "Your Feng family stole everything from my Si family's warehouse! If I don't burn down your Feng family's warehouse today, I'm not Si!"

Feng Yunliang sneered, "Stealing the warehouse, what are you accusing me of? You want to blame me for the old county magistrate's crime, and now you want to blame me for something that is not true? Ha. Let's go to court and make it clear today!"

Feng Yunliang looked down on the county magistrate yesterday and did not take the county court seriously at all.

After learning that he was innocent, he immediately wanted to go to court to prove his innocence.

Just as he finished speaking, a servant came running over from the left and almost fell down, yelling breathlessly: "Oh no! Master! All our shops have been smashed! All of them have been smashed!"

"What, what did you say?"

Feng Yunliang grabbed the man by the collar and said through gritted teeth: "Say it to me again!"
