Si Qi, who was standing by, was originally gloating with his eyes narrowed, but the servant's next words made him like an ant on a hot pan, jumping anxiously.
"Master, we saw a jade pendant with the word Si engraved on it in the jewelry store..."
Siqi's eyes widened. "You're talking nonsense. I slept well at home last night."
Feng Yunliang's eyes were fixed on Siqi's empty waist.
His tone was cold and stern, "Everyone knows that the second son of the Si family has a jade pendant that he never takes off."
As he spoke, he took the jade pendant carefully handed to him by the servant, his eyes as cold as ice, "So what do you think this is?"
Siqi subconsciously touched her waist and felt empty in her heart.
His jade pendant was really missing!
As soon as he got up this morning, he was informed by the servants that the warehouse had been robbed, but he didn't pay any attention.
Who is it? Who could steal his jade pendant?
Siqi looked at Feng Yunliang's horrified expression, took out a piece of cloth from her sleeve, and said coldly: "Then tell me, what is this piece of clothing that appeared in my storeroom?"
Everyone's eyes fell on the corner of the clothes in Siqi's hand.
It turned out to be a corner of the servant's clothes worn by a servant of the Feng family!
Both sides were very emotional and on the verge of a fight, and soon they started to wrestle with each other.
Half an hour later, Gu Wei received the news.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "What, the Feng and Si families are fighting?"
When Gu Wei arrived at the gate of Feng's house, the two sides were already fighting fiercely.
He glanced back and Wu Daqiang immediately understood and led the soldiers to surround the two families.
After several days of training by Wu Daqiang, these small soldiers in Sinan County are not elite, but they look like elite soldiers. They are not nervous when they surround Feng and Si's two families. They hold their heads high and look quite imposing.
Feng Yunliang raised his eyes, saw the soldiers around him, and sneered, "Do you dare to meddle in the affairs of our two families?"
Although the soldiers were afraid, after taking a look at Wu Daqiang who was at the front, they regained their courage and no one retreated.
Gu Wei stepped forward, his eyes full of pressure, his face stern, "Gathering to fight, can't I intervene? Patriarch Feng, you are still under suspicion."
Feng Yunliang pointed at Siqi and said, "It was him! He was the one who murdered me. He killed the old county magistrate!"
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows, "Are you telling the truth?"
Feng Yunliang nodded vigorously.
Siqi on the other side looked vicious, "What are you talking about? What does the old county magistrate's death have to do with me?"
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "You two must go with us for investigation. If there is no problem, we will let you go."
"You dare!"
Siqi's eyes widened with anger.
The next second, everyone was captured by Sinan's soldiers.
Fortunately, they had a fight and expended a lot of energy, otherwise we would have been unable to catch them.
Gu Wei waved his hand, "Take him to jail!"
Wu Daqiang's eyes were cold and he was filled with a bloodthirsty aura. Siqi and Feng Yunliang were still shouting, but after Wu Daqiang's cold glance, they dared not say anything.
When they were taken to prison, Gu Wei was careful not to lock them up together.
The two were far apart and couldn't hear what each other said, but they could see each other's faces.
At the same time, Xu Xingzhi and Gao Cunyi, who had been dormant for a long time, began to take action, moving between the Feng and Si clans, fanning the flames and making people from both families think that it was the other's fault.
Three days later.
The relationship between the Feng and Si families has become as tense as fire and water.
Whenever the two families met on the road, they would fight, not to mention their shops and properties, which would have been smashed and destroyed by the other side.
This is just what’s on the surface.
Secretly, the two families began to look for higher-ups to put pressure on Gu Wei and try to execute him.
Gu Wei's desk was already piled with letters like snowflakes, most of which were from the prefects or governors above Sinan County, and even from distant relatives of officials in the capital, all of whom had higher ranks than Gu Wei.
As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. If Gu Wei was just an ordinary county magistrate, those people could crush him to death with just a flick of their fingers.
Gu Wei pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger, using roundabout tactics, neither taking the initiative nor refusing, making people on both sides itchy.
When the time comes, he just needs to write a letter to Governor Yang. Governor Yang's academic articles are well-known in Beijiang. He learned from Zhen, so his words are quite powerful.
Xie Ling was sitting in front of Gu Wei's desk, flipping through a few letters, and exclaimed in amazement: "It seems that the plan was very successful. The Feng family sent evidence of the crimes of the Si family and their backers. The Si family did the same, sending evidence of the crimes of the Feng family. We don't have to look for them ourselves."
Gu Wei curled his lips, "Yes, we will be able to close the net soon."
"Mr. County Magistrate, someone is looking for you!"
Outside the study, a bailiff announced loudly.
"Let him in."
Gu Wei answered.
Then, a tall white figure ran in quickly, holding a child in his arms.
It was actually Jiangxue.
He spoke in a hurried tone, his eyebrows knitted tightly together, "Sister Ru has a stomachache! Come and have a look!"
Xie Ling hurried over and saw that Ru Jie'er was foaming at the mouth, her lips were black purple, and she was already unconscious.
"What's going on?"
Jiangxue looked nervous, "It was already like this when I found out. Madam Pei and the others couldn't run as fast as I did, so I hurried to find you!"
Xie Ling nodded, "Okay, it's okay. Let me take a look..."
As he spoke, he lifted Ru Jie'er's eyelids and felt her pulse again, saying in a cruel tone, "Acute gastroenteritis, someone poisoned Ru Jie'er!"
Gu Wei's expression suddenly turned cold, "How is it? Is it serious?"
Xie Ling shook her head. "It's fine. But who is so cruel?"
