The rest were all smart people and knew that Gu Wei must have some connection with the cavalry leader, but since Gu Wei didn't want to say it, no one asked.
Gu Wei had something on his mind at this time, so he asked calmly, "Where's Uncle Shi?"
Gao Cunyi poked his head over and said, "He saw that the grain harvest in Sinan County was not good, so he took a carriage to the suburbs. He said he would be back in two days and asked us not to worry about him."
Gu Wei nodded, took the accounts and went out.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the county government office, I met Xie Ling.
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows: "Why are you here now?"
Gu Wei patted her shoulder and said, "Something happened. How is it? The news from your investigation."
"I followed up on Xu Xingzhi's investigation and found that the woman on death row was related to the horse servant of the Si family in Sinan County. The horse that the horse servant raised belonged to the second son of the Si family.
Besides that, I also found out that the staff of the second son of the Si family went to the old county magistrate’s house yesterday and I don’t know what they said.”
Xie Ling spread her hands, "That's all."
Gu Wei lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, "Baby, you're great. Kiss."
Xie Ling stuck out his neck, as if ready to be killed.
Gu Wei was amused by her, "Come on, accompany me to the county magistrate's mansion to take a look."
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the gate of the old county magistrate's mansion.
The old county magistrate's mansion was much more luxurious than the Jinling Lane where Xie Ling and the others lived. The two large stone lions at the door looked lifelike and majestic, and there were even two servants standing guard.
As soon as Gu Wei and Xie Ling walked over, the two servants looked at them with contempt.
One of them looked up with his nose in the air, "Hey, who the hell are you to come and poke your head in front of our county magistrate's mansion?"
Just as he finished speaking, the vermilion door suddenly opened and a man who looked like a butler walked out.
He slapped the two servants in the face with both hands and said sternly, "Get lost! Go and accept your punishment! He is the new county magistrate. He is wearing his official uniform neatly. How could you not see that?"
The two servants ran away quickly and disappeared in an instant.
The housekeeper continued, "Sir and Madam, please don't bother with such a lowly person, or you will lower your status."
What a wonderful show of force! Although it is low-level, it is disgusting and makes people unable to get angry.
But Xie Ling is not the type to be bullied.
She sneered and looked the butler up and down. "I found that many people in Sinan County are good at acting, especially you and the two servants just now. Could it be that you are both from the opera world? It really opened my eyes."
The housekeeper's face turned purple and blue, and she angrily scolded: "Why are you, a woman, butting in?"
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes, used his inner strength, and blew the butler's palm towards him fiercely, knocking him to the ground. He rolled twice before stopping, with half of his face swollen as high as a pig's head.
"Are you qualified to yell at my wife? Besides, this is called a slap in the face."
Then, he walked straight over his body.
In the main hall, the old county magistrate had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Gu Wei, he tilted his mouth and said in a familiar tone, "Hey, what wind..."
Gu Wei's eyes were cold, and he threw the accounts compiled by Gao Cunyi and Xu Xingzhi directly onto the table in front of the old county magistrate.
"These are the financial loopholes in Sinan County in the past ten years that my men have compiled. You have been corrupt and abused your power, embezzled disaster relief funds, and played along with the Feng and Si families, helping them do countless dirty things. Your crimes are too numerous to list. You will be executed when you report to the capital."
The old county magistrate's eyes were full of disdain. He took the accounts in his hand and said, "How many days have you been in Sinan County? Three days? You said you have calculated the accounts for ten years? Ha, young man, don't be too arrogant..."
At this point, he paused, "How is it possible! No! This is impossible!"
He just flipped through it hastily, his eyes showing a hint of cruelty, and his hands spread apart, obviously wanting to tear it apart!
But Gu Wei's actions were faster than the county magistrate. He rushed over and knocked his hand away, saying coldly: "Don't even think about it. My men can make a new one in half a day."
The old county magistrate's hands trembled. "Bah, you dare! I don't believe you dare to fight against the two great families of Sinan County alone!"
Gu Wei didn't want to waste time with him, so he threw the letter of recommendation out. "This is a letter of recommendation. If you want to trip me up with this, I advise you to give up the idea. Just look for yourself and see who wrote this letter."
After saying that, he pulled up Xie Ling who was standing beside him and looked behind the screen. "Eavesdropping is indecent behavior. The two gentlemen inside, if you want to hear me, Zhou, speak next time, you can come directly to the county magistrate's mansion."
After saying this, he left in a leisurely manner.
The old magistrate unfolded the letter, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground after seeing the handwriting and signature clearly.
"This, this, this is a letter of recommendation written by Lord Yang, the governor of Jiaozhou, and it is full of praise... Mr. Si, I don't want to do it with you anymore. I have already retired and returned to my hometown. I just want to enjoy my old age..."
The screen embroidered with overlapping hills was suddenly pushed open, and a purple-robed young man with a vicious face walked out. He kicked the county magistrate and said, "You useless bastard! Is an ordinary young county magistrate worthy of your subservience?"
Jiang Shaoqing, who was standing by, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second Master Si, don't be angry. The best part is yet to come. Wait until the 15th day of the lunar month, and the county magistrate will be in trouble."
Siqi's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Oh, since it can't be used by me, then destroy it. Anyway, Sinan County can only be ruled by my Si family. It's just an arrogant county magistrate..."
The old magistrate tried to crawl away trembling.
Siqi stepped on his hand and tapped his forehead with her folding fan again and again, "Sir County Magistrate, I just heard from that person that you are still in contact with the Feng family. Tsk."
