Xiangzi, with two police officers who were smart with him, rushed to the horse market before dawn. I chose a two-story hotel with a panoramic view of the horse market and lived with peace of mind.

When it was time for the sun to show its face, it was tightly wrapped in gray clouds. The western sky, gray and black, was tumbling and spreading across the horizon.

In the breeze, it began to mix with scattered raindrops, and gradually thickened. In the end, it was connected.

Shoko was full of melancholy and looked up at the sky for a while. sighed helplessly, thinking: If this rain is really heavy, today's horse market will be disturbed, and if you want to see Ma Jiangong again, you have to wait until half a month later.

A strong wind blew, and the poplar trees under the small building made a "rustling" sound.

For a while, Xiaolou seemed to be filled with a cool breeze, and was propped up to whimper with bursts of uneasy sounds.

The strong wind threw the raindrops into the window wantonly, and Xiangzi subconsciously wiped his face. My heart was light, but I felt that my stomach was suddenly hungry. So, I hurriedly sent people downstairs to buy steamed buns, and I was still standing in front of the window, savoring the subtle changes in the weather.

As the saying goes, there is not much rain in the morning, and the day is long-winded. After several strong winds, the black and gray rolling clouds were torn apart. The yellow and white sunlight shot out without losing any time. At the same time, the raindrops also quietly hid.

The horse market, which was originally full of dirt, swept away a burst of rain, and it was soggy and clean.

The scent of earth in the breeze permeates everything around.

The people in the horse market gradually thickened.

Shoko stared intently, staring at every figure related to the horse.

At this time, Xiao Gucheng walked in in a police uniform. Before Xiangzi could speak, Xiao Gucheng said confidently: "It's all arranged, and I will take three police officers to enforce law in Mashi today." ”

Xiangzi patted Xiao Gucheng's shoulder, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, it's not a loss to be the captain of the team, and he speaks and does things neatly." ”

After a pause, Xiangzi Zhengse said: "Wait a minute, I'll put on makeup and mix in the crowd, you just need to recognize this straw hat." When the time comes, act by my gestures. ”

As he spoke, he took a new straw hat with red paint on the top and let the little ancient city take a look.

In the horse market, there is already a bustling feeling.

Shoko stuck his beard and put on a straw hat, and even the people who came with him didn't recognize it at a glance.

A group of three people, dressed as horse buyers, gathered in the crowd at the entrance, walking around.

After a while, I saw the little ancient city turn around, squint at Xiangzi for a while, then pursed his lips and came over with a secret smile, deliberately touched Xiangzi with his shoulder, and shouted in a dragging tone: "Everyone keeps a close eye on the money bag, don't wait to lose it, and then cry and cry for my mother." ”

Xiangzi bowed down and smiled, and said, "The boss is working hard. ”

The small ancient city waved its hand casually, and squeezed towards the crowded place again.

When the sun was one room high, at the entrance, suddenly three people and six horses came. The leader was tall, with black leather boots and a cowhide top hat with a large brim, and a pair of dark brown crystal eyes on his face.

The man stood at the entrance and glanced at the whole arena of the horse market. Riding a black and shiny horse, I went directly to the test track.

Walking back and forth twice, the fast and steady walking posture, and the tall and well-proportioned posture immediately caught the eyes of the horse lovers in the field. For a while, people surrounded the black horse.

A few money-burning goods, I couldn't wait to come forward and ask the price. The horseman, with an arrogant look, stretched out his hand and offered a sky-high price of three thousand yuan.

At this time, Xiangzi also slowly squeezed into the crowd. He had already locked on the man who rode the horse, and it was the one who was used to stealing horses.

It's been almost ten years, and Ma Jiangong is still that sloppy. The beard on his face is like a green onion, and he still covers half of his face like a weed. The copper wire horsewhip in his hand looks familiar.

When I got closer, I looked at the horse, and he was really handsome.

The pitch-black and shiny fur has no trace of variegation, only four hooves and wrists, each with a handful of snow-white long hair. Knowledgeable people know that this kind of appearance is called "stepping on the clouds". This alone can increase the value of many horses.

Therefore, although Ma Jiangong offered a sky-high price, people who love horses still cherish it and refuse to leave. There are three who seem to be real buyers, and they are still bargaining with Ma Jiangong. And Ma Jiangong is like a king eating scales and having an iron heart. No matter how the buyer bargains, he is only a fixed price.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and seeing that they really couldn't make a price, the three horse lovers who didn't know each other actually got together. After muttering quietly for a while, they each shook their heads and sighed, and walked towards the other horses.

The three of them left at the same time, and they did not touch Ma Jiangong. Instead, he grinned a little arrogantly. As if no one was around, they let go of the horse's hooves and walked back and forth.

The whole racecourse is like his special performance, and the people on both sides of the horse road are getting thicker and thicker, but the people who really want to buy horses are hung there.

After a few back and forth, I saw someone carrying a bowl of water and handing it to Ma Jiangong. I saw Ma Jiangong, deliberately stretched his neck, and took a small sip of it funny. Then, grinning at everyone, and with a slight clamp of his legs, the horse raised his head, and walked quickly ahead of him like a male goose in a lake.

A few went back and forth, but not a drop of water in the bowl was spilled. attracted the crowd and let out bursts of praise one after another.

After walking a few laps, Ma Jiangong stopped the horse, held the bowl ostentatiously, and raised it towards everyone. He raised his head, drank the water in the bowl, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and shouted at the throat of the male goose: "See clearly, right? You get what you pay for. If you want to buy it, you can start quickly, the price is not negotiable, if you don't know the goods, you can go, Lao Tzu is still busy. ”

So saying, he turned his horse and walked out.

At this time, one of the three people who had been entangled in the price before hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the reins of the horse and said, "At the price you said, I want this horse." ”

Ma Jiangong glared at him and muttered: "It's been so early and you don't settle the knot, it's a lot of time in vain, let's count the money quickly!" ”

The two were just about to go to the Horse Market Notary Office to make the delivery, and the other two people who had previously wrapped up the price came over together. The man who bought the horse pushed and shoved and shouted: "Didn't you say that it's okay, if he doesn't bargain, we won't buy it?" Why are you so loose? ”

The person who was pushed blushed, and for a while, he squeaked and didn't know what to say. After all, it was he who broke the rules and violated the agreement of the three of them.

So, he gave the two of them an apology again and again. The other two did not give up, entangled and refused to let go.

I saw Ma Jiangong, and raised the whip in his hand irritably.

Thunderous roar: "What are you doing here? People buy horses, and it's in the way of your. Let's get out of the way! Lao Tzu is still busy. ”

The two troublemakers were momentarily frightened by Ma Jiangong's obscenity, and they froze in place, turning into wooden stakes that everyone pointed and poked.

At this time, Xiangzi squeezed to the small ancient city and whispered: "The people will be handed over to me, and the horses will be handed over to you." ”

Seeing that Xiao Gucheng nodded knowingly and left, Xiangzi secretly followed Ma Jiangong.

After handing over the formalities, Ma Jiangong put a bag of money on his shoulders and walked towards the crowd selling horses in another pile.

Xiangzi knew in his heart that there were many people in the horse market and the situation was complicated, and if he started to do it, he would inevitably hurt the innocent. Moreover, it is easy for Ma Jiangong to get away with the chaos. Therefore, you can only follow him patiently and look for another opportunity to start.

I don't want to, but this one led to a flower show of the green building.
