Chapter 251: Selling War Horses Privately
Zhu Hao looked at the skill bar of Qin Qiong's attribute panel, and was a little puzzled about Qin Qiong's "trump card" skill, but thinking that he had already let Xiao Ling rest, he was embarrassed to call Xiao Ling to explain to him, thinking that everything would be said tomorrow morning.
Thinking like this, Zhu Hao closed his clothes and lay on his bed and fell asleep lightly.
The next morning, the rooster crowed three times, and Zhu Hao got up from his bed, he had two things to do today, so Zhu Hao did not lie on the bed.
After Zhu Hao finished washing up briefly, he took the guards to the horse market in the capital to look for Qin Qiong, although Zhu Hao got up very early, but when Zhu Hao arrived at the horse market, the horse market was already bustling with people.
Zhu Hao is not unfamiliar with this at all, in this era, horses are the best means of transportation, so basically families above the middle class will keep a few horses in captivity, so this horse market is crowded at the moment, and it is not very unusual.
Zhu Hao listened to the crowded horse market, there were the sounds of shouting and selling horses, and there were also the sounds of bargaining, Zhu Hao couldn't help frowning slightly, Zhu Hao didn't like it by nature, he was slightly uncomfortable with this kind of noisy market, if it wasn't for looking for Qin Qiong, Zhu Hao might never come to a place like the horse market in his life.
After all, with Zhu Hao's identity, he didn't need to go there in person to buy horses, so naturally the steward of the mansion would come forward to take care of these things.
After Zhu Hao entered the horse market, his eyes were no longer on the horses at all, but at these people who sold horses, looking to see which person might be Qin Qiong.
Although Zhu Hao had never seen Qin Qiong, Zhu Hao knew that a fierce general like Qin Qiong was naturally heroic and different from ordinary people.
Zhu Hao was walking when there was a noise in the distance.
Then Zhu Hao saw a team of officials escorting, a white-faced man was two feet tall, his face was like the ancient moon, his face was like pale gold plating, his eyebrows were like sharp swords into his temples, his eyes were like pearls and stars, his nose and mouth were square and angular were distinct, and his three locks of beard were floating on his chest.
Zhu Hao saw that this person was extraordinary, so he let the guards behind him go to inquire, and after a while, the guards came back to report that the big man was arrested by Shuntianfu because he sold war horses privately.
Zhu Hao nodded slightly when he heard this, and at the same time was shocked in his heart, Zhu Hao was surprised that in this era, selling war horses privately is a capital crime, and the people of the people do not say that they can't touch war horses, and even if they do, they don't dare to sell them privately.
Zhu Hao looked at the good temperament of the big man, and then thought that he dared to sell the war horse privately, and basically decided in his heart that this big man was the Qin Qiong he was looking for.
Although Zhu Hao was sure, Zhu Hao didn't say anything, after all, there were many people in this horse market, if he just ordered the messengers of Shuntianfu to release Qin Qiong, I am afraid that some people would say that he bent the law for personal gain.
Zhu Hao thought like this, and with a slight groan, he ordered the accompanying guards:
"Let's go!"
"Let's go to Shuncheonfu!"
Saying that, Zhu Hao took the lead and left the horse market, there is an unwritten rule in this horse market, no horses are allowed to ride, Zhu Hao does not want to disturb the people, so the horses he rides are outside the horse market.
Zhu Hao arrived outside the horse market, then turned over and got on the horse, and hurried to Shuntian Mansion, since that day Concubine Liu was killed in the palace, Zhu Hao sent Gongsun Ce back to Shuntian Mansion on duty
Therefore, after Zhu Hao arrived at Shuntian Mansion, after the guards told Zhu Hao's identity, Gongsun Ce hurriedly trotted out of Shuntian Mansion and came to greet Zhu Hao.
"Your Highness, why don't you let people be notified in advance when you come to Shuntianfu!"
"It's good that Weichen is here to greet His Highness!"
"Let His Highness wait here, it is really the sin of Weichen, and please ask His Highness to surrender the crime!"
Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's words, waved his hand and said:
"Okay Gongsun, you and this king don't need to be so polite!"
"Get up and talk!"
"This king came to your Shuntian Mansion today, there is something for you to do!"
As soon as Gongsun Ce heard that Zhu Hao had something to ask him to do, he immediately spoke:
"Lord Wang, if you have anything to do, just tell Weichen!"
"Wechen must do his best!"
Gongsun Ce made a gesture of please as he spoke, and then continued:
"It's windy outside, please come into the house for tea!"
Seeing this, Zhu Hao nodded slightly, then smiled, and followed Gongsun Ce into Shuntian Mansion, after Zhu Hao entered Shuntian Mansion, he entered the back hall, that is, the place where Shuntian Mansion Yin rested when the case was not tried on weekdays.
After Zhu Hao sat down in the back hall, he spoke:
"Gongsun, this king won't go around the bend with you!"
"This king asks you, did you catch a man who sells war horses in Shuntianfu today?"
"Where is he now?"
"This king wants to meet him!"
Gongsun Ce listened to Zhu Hao's words, was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise:
"Your Highness, how did you know about this?"
"Early this morning, the steward of the horse market reported that someone in the horse market was selling war horses privately!"
"Weichen just asked the officials in the palace to go to arrest him, and now he hasn't returned to the mansion yet, how did His Highness know the news so quickly?"
"Does this person have anything to do with His Highness?"
"If that's the case, Wechen will let people inform them to release them now!"
Zhu Hao listened to Gongsun Ce's words, and then remembered that he was hurrying over on horseback, and those officials who locked up Qin Qiong were on foot, so these people had not returned to Shuntian Mansion at the moment.
Zhu Hao secretly sighed that he was confused, and at the same time, Zhu Hao secretly sighed, thinking that Gongsun Ce would be wrong, thinking that he knew Qin Qiong and wanted to let Qin Qiong go immediately, he quickly shook his head and said:
"This king doesn't know him, but this king heard that this person has extraordinary martial arts, and now the war in Liaodong is tight, and this king wants to see if this person can serve the country!"
"Since you have arrested him, don't be in a hurry to release him, since he dares to sell war horses privately, this king also wants to consider whether some of this person's character is worthy of a great responsibility!"
"This king is waiting for your messenger to lock him up, and this king will see him in the lobby of this Shuntian Mansion!"
"Okay, Gongsun, you go and prepare, this king will listen to your trial later!"
The reason why Zhu Hao wanted Gongsun Ce to interrogate Qin Qiong was not to really consider Qin Qiong's character, after all, Qin Qiong had the title of "Little Meng Taste" in history, and his character would definitely not be too bad, and his life was finally Li Tang, and he had never had a different heart.
Zhu Hao mainly wanted to wait until the critical moment, and he came forward to save Qin Qiong, so that Qin Qiong's loyalty might be increased, after all, Qin Qiong's loyalty of 30 points now made Zhu Hao still a little uneasy.
However, Zhu Hao's selfishness could not be told to Gongsun Ce, so he said such an excuse as considering character.
