Chapter 269: Causing Disputes
The people of the Seventh Prince didn't know that Su Xi had rescued Jing Hao, and when they gave the order, they also explained that they were looking for a woman, and when they saw that there was a man next to Su Xi and disguised themselves, they probably wouldn't guess it, and Jiang Yihui might not have guessed it. He knew that Su Xi had escaped with Jing Hao.
"Look!" Jing Hao suddenly grabbed Su Xi, pointed to one place and whispered to Su Xi. Su Xi looked at the position pointed by Jing Hao, there was a long cloth on the reins of the horse tied outside an inn, Su Xi didn't feel anything unusual, but Jing Hao pulled Su Xi over, as if inadvertently, dismantled the piece of cloth, shook his hand and touched it, his face showed joy.
Su Xi also seemed to realize something, walked over, and really saw the cloth brocade that was originally blue, and the place that was touched by Jing Hao had already turned red.
However, immediately, Su Xi had doubts in his heart, when Jing Hao was in Wucun for a while, hadn't all the things on his body been replaced? In his hands, how could there be a potion developed by Su Li that changed the color of a special cloth?
"Okay, don't think about it, Su Li has already told me the method of developing the potion, and I will tell you in the future, this is also a secret."
Jing Hao's few words solved Su Xi's doubts, and the faintly condensed brows slowly stretched out, occupied by greater joy.
"The owner of these horses, is it a secret guard?" Su Xi whispered to Jing Hao, and glanced at the inside of the inn.
Jing Hao said lightly: "That's right, but it is precisely because of their help that the goals of our people are bigger and more eye-catching." ”
Su Xi understood what Jing Hao meant: "So, we need someone to draw the attention of these people away." ”
Jing Hao nodded.
"Hey, this horse is mine, why is it here, who tied this horse here?" A middle-aged man pointed to the horse tied to Su Xi and Jing Hao opposite and said, lest he be misunderstood by the people around him, and explained vigorously, "This horse is really mine, but I was ridden away when I was resting on the side of the road, and I came back from outside on foot." I've been looking for so many days, but I didn't expect to meet you at the market today, do you see who brought it over? ”
There were people coming and going on the street, but no one answered the middle-aged man's words, the man was very anxious, but the vendors on the side turned their eyes to Su Xi and Jing Hao, he had just seen the two of them bolting their horses there.
The middle-aged man's eyes fell on Su Xi and Jing Hao, who were still angry and anxious, but when they saw that they were the two old men, the angry look on their faces froze.
"Excuse me, where did you two bring this horse from?"
The middle-aged man was still wise, and knew that he couldn't wronged people, so he asked the matter to the truth, so as not to let the two innocent old men suffer grievances in vain.
Su Xi and Jing Hao glanced at each other, their eyes unconsciously showed joy, they were still worried that there was no way to divert the attention of Jiang Yihui and the officers and soldiers, but now, didn't the method automatically come to the door?
Su Xi showed a weird and sly smile in her eyes, which was very cute in Jing Hao's eyes, but she also knew that she had an idea in her heart.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this." Su Xi said confidently to Jing Hao in a low voice.
Jing Hao trusts Su Xi very much when it comes to dealing with people, if he does it before, he may not be, but since Su Xi has changed his character, he is not soft at all when he confronts Liu Yiyi in the Hou Mansion, and he will never be at a disadvantage. Therefore, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this kind of diversion of the attention of the officials and the guards led by Jiang Yihui and leaving it to Su Xi.
Jing Hao, on the other hand, turned around and entered the inn to contact the secret guard.
Su Xi walked over to the middle-aged man, slowly untied the reins that held the horse, raised his eyebrows at him and asked, "This horse is yours?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly, and said again and again: "It's mine, it's indeed mine." ”
"How did you lose it?" Su Xi continued to ask, at this time she had already led the horse and slowly walked to the middle of the road.
The middle-aged man told him about the process of losing his horse again, but he didn't say the silver taels that Su Xi left for him.
Su Xi asked tentatively, "Then the horse thief didn't leave you anything as collateral?" What if, someone just bought your horse? ”
"Impossible, nothing left for me, at first glance he is a horse thief, and he is still a habitual offender."
The middle-aged man insisted that nothing was left behind, and the horse was stolen.
Su Xi scolded in his heart, you have no conscience, obviously you have already left you two silver taels, that silver tael is more than enough to buy two horses, you still talk nonsense in front of me, a big man, not ashamed.
If you really feel wronged, so many days have passed, why don't you report to the official? Now that I see your horse and know that I want to go back, I still look confident, and I don't know that the "old man" in front of me is the horse thief in your mouth, otherwise, how can I deny that there is nothing left for you.
That's right, there is not even a piece of evidence, and people say that there is no one. However, Su Xi is not a loser, and he was still thinking about whether to change the method, at least it would not hurt the middle-aged uncle, but what he said really made Su Xi angry, but he was even more determined in his heart.
"Old man, where did you get this horse?"
Listening to this middle-aged man's words, he didn't suspect Su Xi's body yet.
It just so happened that Su Xi followed the middle-aged man's words and said, "I bought it from the bazaar, a young man sold it to me, and our husband and wife were originally going to use it to pull things, but who knew that it was actually a stolen horse." ”
The middle-aged man's face was obviously very displeased, and he said: "This lady, I'm really sorry, this horse, it's mine, I have to go back, what about you, go to whoever wants the money." ”
Saying that, the middle-aged man was about to grab the rope in Su Xi's hand, with the meaning that if you don't give it to me, I will rob it too.
The crowd who had been watching the excitement on the side for a long time also saw the rights and wrongs of the matter and the unreasonableness of this man, and they all leaned to Su Xi's side, saying that the man was wrong.
When they said this, they aroused the anger in the man's heart, and he sprinkled his anger against the thief on the strength of robbing Su Xi, and he didn't have half of the respect for the old man that he showed at all.
It's just Hu Lai, treating the old man like this in public, if Su Xi is herself now, not playing a person, she will definitely come forward to uphold justice and stop this behavior of the middle-aged man.
