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

Chapter 221: Feng Si's Downfall

As soon as Qianniang saw him coming, she turned around and wanted to run away.

Jiang Wanyi, who was standing by, stopped her and said with a smile, "Mother Qian, why are you running? Can't someone help you carry it?"

Ji Ke stretched out his arms and legs and took away all the dishes and chopsticks from Qianniang's arms.

Qianniang followed behind with a red face.

Xie Ling knew something was going to happen as soon as she saw it, and she didn't plan to interfere.

Qianniang has suffered too much in this life. You can tell at first glance that Ji Ke is a caring person. It would be great if he could achieve a happy ending.

Jiang Wanyi saw Xie Ling here, ran over and nodded.

"You also noticed that Ji Ke is interested in Qianniang?"

Xie Ling nodded, "He just came to me and told me that he would be good to Qianniang for the rest of his life."

Jiang Wanyi opened her eyes wide, "She's really brave. Did you tell her about Qianniang?"

Xie Ling shook her head.

"Even if Qianniang killed her husband because he deserved to die and she had to do it to protect her child, it is still a little shocking in this world. I didn't say it. If Qianniang opened her heart, she would naturally tell Ji Ke."

Jiang Wanyi nodded and immediately said "Pooh", "Speaking of that bastard makes me angry. Qianniang is such a good girl, and she works like a slave for him every day. And Xiao Mingchen is so cute, but he actually wants to cook and eat Xiao Mingchen for a concubine! He is worse than pigs and dogs!"

Xie Ling felt a little angry when she thought of that man. She snorted coldly, "It's not unfair that he died. He should be reborn as an animal in his next life."

The table over there was almost cleaned up. Gu Wei came over and patted Xie Ling on the shoulder, "Xu Xingzhi is looking for us."

Xie Ling knew that it was an important matter, so she said goodbye to Jiang Wanyi.

In the main hall, Xu Xingzhi saw the two people coming and immediately stood up excitedly, "We were eating just now, so it was difficult to talk. I wanted to come to you in the morning, and it's done! I guess the two families will fight tonight."

Gu Wei's eyes showed a hint of joy, "I have already drafted the letter, and I will send it to Governor Yang now."

The three of them immediately rushed to the county government office. The important documents were all in the study of the county government office.

Xu Xingzhi had already sorted out the criminal evidence of the other party and their backers sent by the Feng and Si families in the past few days.

The two families have not fought for nothing over the years. The evidence they gave to Gu Wei is enough to execute all nine generations of their clan.

It's just that they were too proud and conceited, and probably never imagined until their death that Gu Wei would dare to cut off the source of their troubles and catch them all in one fell swoop.

Gu Wei put all the documents into a letter, sealed it with paint, and gave it to a trusted yamen runner, asking him to deliver it to Wu Daqiang.

Wu Daqiang understood it as soon as he saw it.

Gu Wei was worried about letting someone else deliver it.

The three of them waited quietly in the study for a while.

In the evening, a bailiff came in hurriedly to report.

"Report! Report! The guards of the Feng family and the Si family are fighting in the street! Many people died!"

Gu Wei immediately stood up and said, "Take all the runners and soldiers with you and follow me!"

When Xie Ling and his companions arrived, the two families had already fought to the point of both suffering heavy losses, and the battle was extremely brutal.

No one knew what methods the two old foxes, Xu Xingzhi and Gao Cunyi, had used to make the fight between the two families so ugly, much more brutal than Gu Wei had imagined.

With almost no effort, Gu Wei arrested all the guards and servants of the Feng and Si families and put them in jail.

The people of these two families still refused to behave themselves, and shouted at Gu Wei: "How dare a mere county magistrate interfere in the affairs of our two families! Let us go! What rights do you have to arrest us?"

Gu Wei turned a deaf ear to him and said in a cold voice: "The crimes you committed in Sinan County are too numerous to list. What's wrong with me arresting you? The imperial court's criminal warrant will arrive today. Just wait for your death."

When he said this, the team happened to reach the street that everyone passed when they first arrived in Lingnan.

The streets are still prosperous and there are still many people on the roadside.

It was just that Gu Wei was framed here last time, but this time, he became the object of cheers from the people.

Gu Wei rode a tall horse and walked in the front row, while people from the Si family and the Feng family lined up and followed behind him.

One of the common people tentatively threw a piece of vegetable leaf at a guard of the Si family and shouted angrily: "It was him who killed my father!"

This action was like a drop of water dropped into a hot pot, quickly igniting all the people.

The people were very excited and pointed at the people from the Si and Feng families and cursed them. Some of them were so excited that they started hitting and kicking them to vent their anger and dissatisfaction.

The soldiers seemed to be stopping the people, but in fact they were just pretending. When they saw some people were out of reach, they helped push them.

Rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and slop were thrown at the people from the Feng and Si families without any regard for their lives.

The people's cries were deafening.

"Feng Chenming! You insulted my wife and killed my daughter! After all these years, I can finally take revenge!"

"That's great! The shops on the east side no longer have to pay so much money! Ten taels of silver every year! If you don't pay, you won't be allowed to do business. Why are the people of the Si family so overbearing? That street is not theirs!"

"The Feng family occupied my ancestral grave, dug out my parents' bones and threw them away, just to get a little more land!"

........

After the people vented their bitterness and hatred, they began to deeply admire Gu Wei.

"The county magistrate is so majestic!"

"Mr. County Magistrate, you are like our adopted parent!"

Gu Wei held the horse, his eyes were like stars and swords, his deep facial features were cold and noble, and he said in a deep voice: "When I, Zhou Shijing, took office, I said that I would let you take revenge for your grievances and revenge for your hatreds. Now it is not a broken promise!"

As soon as he spoke, his eyes turned to Xie Ling and Xu Xingzhi behind him, as well as countless soldiers.

"However, the capture of the Feng and Si families was not my own achievement. It was the result of the joint efforts of my wife, my subordinates, and countless Sinan County soldiers."

The words fell.

The people cheered even louder, singing and dancing around the soldiers and Xie Ling and the others.

People in Lingnan are good at singing and dancing. It is estimated that Sinan County has not encountered such a celebration for a long time. Those who can play musical instruments hurried home to take out their instruments, those who can sing sang folk songs on the road, and those who can dance walked and danced around Xie Ling and the others.

This group of soldiers had never been loved so much by the people. Their arms were filled with eggs, pigs or fine wine given by the people. They could not refuse at all. They were all blushing with shame, and their hearts were burning with warmth.

Everyone in the Feng family and the Si family was almost fainted from anger.

In particular, the head of the Si family had already fainted and was carried away by others.

On the third day that the Feng and Si family members were detained in prison, Wu Daqiang's letter was also delivered to the residence of Yang Taishou in Jiaozhou.

After reading the letter, Yang Taishou was in a dilemma. He shook his hand and said, "I won't do it if Shi Jing's name is not written on it! It's always like this. They attribute such a great achievement to me. Where can I put my old face?"

Wu Daqiang cupped his hands, "I beg the governor to help me! My master has offended someone in the capital, and it's not good to show off!"

Governor Yang sighed, "Alright, alright. After all, Shi Jing is my good brother. The rewards Shi Jing has received from the court in the two months I have known him are more than I have received in my entire life. Let me make it clear, I will take the title for him, but I don't want any rewards from the court!"

Wu Daqiang's eyes flashed with an ambiguous smile: "Prefect, you also know that the imperial court's reward... well, those who understand will understand. It won't be much. Jiaozhou and Sinan County are quite far away, so I won't send it back and forth by boat. You can keep it for yourself."

Governor Yang sighed and gave up.

He glanced at the charges against the Feng and Si families at the end of Gu Wei's letter.

His eyes widened and the chubby boy’s hands were shaking.

"The Feng and Si families are too arrogant. The nine clans are not enough to be killed. Wait... Feng Jinlong is actually the backer of the Si family. Shi Jing is too capable. He can even find Feng Jinlong's crimes! I have hated him for a long time!

Wait, there is also this old Si Jun, haha, I am really happy! I have long wanted to get rid of these cancerous tumors for the court! Your Excellency has helped me a lot, I will write a letter now! Chief Clerk, please prepare the pen and ink!"

Seeing that the task was accomplished, Wu Daqiang quickly said goodbye and left.

He really couldn't bear to leave his group of soldiers!

After being away for a few days, I started to miss you so much.

Wu Daqiang didn't know that the soldiers he cared about so much were already happy working for Gu Wei and didn't want to leave.

Xie Ling cooked a big pot of chicken, the aroma spread from ten miles away. Before the dish was served, the soldiers were already laughing and flattering him.

Although each person only got a few pieces of chicken later, everyone was very happy.

Because the county magistrate and his wife were also eating here. In the past, the county magistrate was so rich that the road to the military camp was too steep, let alone eating with them.

As soon as they finished eating and cleaned up, Gu Wei said, "Are you full? Good. Let's start training."

The soldiers quickly stood in line.

They thought that they could withstand Lord Wu's strict training, let alone a county magistrate.

It is said that county magistrates are all civil servants. We will show him our abilities later.

But later they paid the price for their idea.

They have never been so tired in their lives!

After practice, I just lay down on the bed and didn’t want to go anywhere, not even move a finger.

But after practice every day, Xie Ling would prepare delicious meals for them, sometimes a big pot of meat, sometimes spicy chicken, and sometimes mushroom hot pot.

It is such a blessing to eat delicious food after being tired. These soldiers are very happy.

After training for a few days, the soldiers tasted the sweetness.

Their postures became more and more graceful, their figures became more and more dignified, even their steps became more vigorous, and their eyesight became better.

I used to be exhausted after running ten kilometers, but now running thirty kilometers is more than enough for me.

The soldiers are no longer satisfied with the current level and begin to want more demanding training.

But on this day, Gu Wei did not practice.

Gu Wei stood in front of the soldiers and said in a cold voice, "Those who have helped the Feng and Si families before, step out of line."

He didn't even use the prepared words, and some soldiers stepped out obediently, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.

After these days of training, these soldiers have long been convinced of Gu Wei and admire him from the bottom of their hearts, so naturally they dare not lie to him.

Gu Wei took a look and found that there was indeed no one on Xu Xingzhi's list among those who came out.

Xu Xingzhi had already found out which soldiers were the real accomplices to the evil.

Gu Wei has been observing these days.

Those guys are very sneaky and cunning, and are pretty scoundrels.

Gu Wei glanced at them and said in a cold voice, "Those who step out, run around the training ground twenty times."

The soldiers looked excited because this sentence meant they were forgiven!

I quickly got out of the line and started running excitedly.

Gu Wei raised his eyes and called out in a calm tone to ten people to step out.

"You guys think you can hide this from me? Pack your bags tonight and never come back to Sinan County again."

Just as Gu Wei finished disciplining the soldiers, Wu Daqiang rode over on his horse, quickly dismounted, and shouted, "Brothers, did you miss me?"

When Gu Wei saw Wu Daqiang coming, he turned around, mounted his horse and wanted to leave.

There are still many things to be dealt with in the county government, so he has to go back and get busy.

Unexpectedly, all the soldiers looked at him with reluctance.

"Mr. County Magistrate, will you come and lecture us again?"

Gu Wei laughed, "Master Wu is back. From now on, Master Wu will lead you. I won't come here anymore."

The soldiers looked regretful.

Wu Daqiang's eyes widened: "Why, I can't do it! Humph! Do you have to ask the county magistrate?"

The soldiers went to coax him again, saying that they hadn't seen him for a long time and missed him very much.

Gu Wei returned to the county government office and followed the same method to clean up the situation, removing many people and clearing up the filth in the court.

This means he has even fewer people available.

Gu Wei looked at the desk, missing his best friends and Gu Jiajun very much, and didn't know when they would arrive.

While I was looking at the documents, Fengjian Qingli came in.

He bowed and said in a deep voice, "Sir, that Jiang Shaoqing is looking at the Feng family's land. I don't know what he said to the Feng family in prison a few days ago. The Feng family trusted him very much and gave all the signs to him."

"Got it. Just keep watching for any movement he makes."

Fengjian Qingli nodded and went out.

Gu Wei looked at the documents that Fengjian Qingli was sorting out, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Fengjian Qingli's ability is no less than Xu Xingzhi's. Fortunately, he is here, otherwise I would be too busy.

On the other side, Xie Ling was discussing the land issue in Sinan County with Shi Hua.

Shi Hua was a down-to-earth person in everything he did. When Gu Wei handed the land issue to him, he studied it every day and wanted to burrow into the soil. He came home smelling of mud every day, and his wife wanted to throw him out.

At this time, Shi Hua took out a handful of soil from the cloth bag he was carrying. He didn't mind the dirtiness, but he held it very carefully, for fear that some of it would fall onto the ground at Gu's house.

He frowned, his eyes full of distress, "Miss Xie, the soil is indeed not fertile, so what should we do?"

Xie Ling didn't mind the dirtiness and simply scooped a little into her palm.

The soil is brick red, a typical acidic red soil, suitable for growing a variety of plants, such as rice, tea, sugarcane, tung oil, citrus...

However, it lacks alkali metals and is more sticky, so the soil quality can be improved by using organic fertilizers.

Xie Ling asked, "Have you checked the characteristics of crops in Sinan County?"

Shi Hua nodded and took out a cabbage from the small bag on the other side.

He said sadly: "The leaves of this cabbage are turning yellow and the roots are rotten."

As he spoke, he took out another piece of rice.

At this time, the rice has not yet formed ears and is still a seedling.

But the seedlings are not green, but yellow-green.

He went on to say, "I also found that rice in some places in Sinan County has even matured early and has begun to form ears, but the grains are not full and there are very few of them. Do you think that using manure to fertilize the land can improve soil fertility?"
