Feng Yunliang gently opened a corner of the box, and a dazzling golden light immediately burst out, dazzling the servants around him.
A smug smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but when he looked up at Gu Wei, his smile froze.
Feng Yunliang thought he would see an expression of shock and greed on Gu Wei's face.
But the man in front of her looked indifferent. He just glanced at her and then looked away, as if he was looking at the flowers and plants on the roadside.
Feng Yunliang didn't believe it, so he lifted the lid a little more, revealing half a row of round and cute gold ingots.
But Gu Wei still had that indifferent expression, and even his wife was so cold and standoffish, not showing any excitement at all when seeing the gold, silver and treasures.
Feng Yunliang cleared his throat and said, "Your Excellency the County Magistrate has worked hard in managing Sinan County. I have specially sent you a thousand taels of gold. I hope you will accept it."
Gu Wei waved his hand, "I appreciate your kindness, but you should take these boxes back, Lord Feng. I still have a lot of things to do at home, so I'll excuse myself if there's nothing else."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took Xie Ling's hand and went back to the house.
Feng Yunliang's face became darker and darker. He kicked the box and said sternly, "What the hell, do you really take yourself seriously?"
The servant beside him hurried over to comfort him.
Feng Yunliang glanced at the door frame sternly, "Let's go to the old county magistrate's house. I want to let him know the price of arrogance."
The group headed towards the old county magistrate's mansion in a mighty procession.
Inside the house, Xie Ling shook her head, "You shouldn't have been so cold just now."
"Why?"
Xie Ling's eyes were cold. "Let these two families think that the other party has reached an alliance with you. Isn't it good for the dogs to bite each other?"
Gu Wei suddenly realized, "Indeed. My wife is really smart!"
Xie Ling crossed her arms and said, "I have already thought of a way to deal with them. When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. From now on, you just listen to me. In at most half a month, we can deal with both of them."
But on the second day, something happened that no one could have imagined.
The old county magistrate is dead!
His family insisted that it was the Feng family who did it.
The head of the Feng family, Feng Yunliang, happened to have been to the old county magistrate's mansion the day before and paraded around the city, and everyone knew about it. Now he has been pushed directly to the forefront.
In the court, the old county magistrate's family cried heartbreakingly. If they hadn't been held back by the yamen runners around them, they would have probably rushed up and torn Feng Yunliang into pieces.
Feng Yunliang was so angry that veins popped out of his temples. He shouted angrily, "Ridiculous! Why would I kill him? This is slander! I went to talk to him yesterday!"
