The domestic war horse Baili Yan has never been worthy of the vest, one is that the weight is too heavy whether it is a leather vest or a metal vest, and the joints of the horses are easy to fatigue when they wear the vest for a long time during non-wartime, which is not conducive to the long-term use of the horse, and the second is that the vest is too domineering, which inevitably gives people the impression of being domineering.

Without a vest, the horse is easily frightened by pain in the event of a sudden trauma. Livestock, like people, has not been baptized by war, and even the slightest injury can easily make livestock go crazy, and horses, as extremely vigilant animals, are actually very fragile in many cases. Even if it looks docile, it can't be controlled when it goes berserk.

With Wei Qi to the stable of the office, he found Zhu Cheng's mount, there was obviously a bleeding broken skin under the hair on the shoulder blade of his right leg, the wound was not big, the size of grapes, it was said that the leather of the horse was very tough, and there was more hair in Qianliyue, and the general bump was not enough to puncture the cortex.

However, it is certain that there were no people passing within a radius of two steps when Zhu Cheng's mount was frightened, so it was concluded that it was caused by some kind of remote equipment.

Baili Yansi looked at it and had no plan in her heart, so she asked Zhou Kong to come over and identify the injury:

"Madame came over to see what kind of weapon caused this wound."

Zhou Kong stepped forward to examine the wound carefully, and faintly saw some clues:

"If it's as expected, the injury must be caused by a slingshot."

Bai Liyan suddenly realized when she heard the news, nodded in affirmation:

"I see, I think it can only be caused by a slingshot."

At this time, Qiu Ruipu took over and said:

"That must be another bastard matter driven down by the gangsters in the market, and the official immediately ordered someone to arrest and interrogate them, and give an explanation to Lord Si Nong."

If someone hadn't injured the horses with a slingshot, they wouldn't have injured more than 30 people, but don't arrest irrelevant people in vain and cause public indignation."

"Xiaguan understands." Qiu Ruipu responded to the matter, turned around and called the assistant and Zhang Teamzheng: "Zhang Teamzheng, Xinyou Street is your jurisdiction, except for such bad things, you should investigate to the end." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go and get someone immediately."

"Let's go."

"No!"

Qiu Ruipu carefully instructed everyone, and at this time, Bai Liyan checked the horse injury and confirmed that it was no major problem, and used some medicinal powder to apply it to the wound, and then said to Wei Qi:

"Apply a cold towel to the wound and use clean well water."

"No!"

After explaining clearly, Bai Liyan turned around and wanted to leave, and swept the stable in the afterglow, faintly feeling that something was wrong. Meng Shi stopped his steps and looked back at the stable, and glanced twice, Zhou Kong didn't know why, and hurriedly asked:

"What's the matter, husband?"

"Shhh...... I don't think there's anything wrong. ”

"Something is wrong?!" Zhou Kong looked at it, but did not find anything unusual in the stable, and then said, "Why don't I think." ”

"No, there's something wrong."

Bai Liyan quickened her pace to the east side of the stable, starting with the first horse and counting until the last one on the west side of the stable, a total of thirty-six horses, counting the problem.

"Wei Qi."

"Here, what does Master Hou command?"

"How many of us are there?"

"Including the marquis and his wife, there are a total of twenty-eight people."

"If I remember correctly, they were all Jianbao horses."

"Yes, it's a Jianbao that everyone is riding, what's wrong Hou Ye."

"Then there should be twenty-eight healthy BMWs, why five less."

"Hah, five horses missing!"

Wei Qi's eyes were dumbfounded, and he was busy counting from beginning to end, counting only twenty-three Jianbao horses, plus thirteen ordinary Central Plains horses.

"Hell, my subordinates obviously led all the horses into the stable with everyone, why are there five missing, this, this mansion is a thief!"

Hearing this, Qiu Ruipu was frightened enough, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Lord Si Nong, the inside and outside of the government are heavily guarded, how can five military horses be lost out of thin air."

Bailiyan looked around and found a side door on the north side of the stable, and then asked:

"Where does that side door lead?"

Qiu Ruipu followed the trail and then said:

"The alley leading to Guichun Street outside the government is usually not open. This is really a thief, and he actually stole it to my house. Si Groove, where is the horse officer! ”

Qiu Ruipu summoned the slotter, the horse officer, and the soldiers on duty to ask everyone and so on, but no one saw a horse leaving the house.

"Si Nong, this ...... What the hell is this......"

Qiu Ruipu wanted to cry without tears when he was mourned, Bai Liyan twisted her thick eyebrows and twisted her short beard pupils suddenly shrank, as if she thought of something:

"Lord Qiu."

"The lower official is here, what does Lord Si Nong command?"

"Immediately invite Sima Liaoping and Huang Che to this place, and Benhou has something to order."

"If Sinong is looking for a horse, the official will immediately send someone to search for it."

"I'm afraid this matter is so simple, while the news hasn't leaked yet, go quickly."

"No."

Commanding Qiu Ruipu, Bai Liyan and Wei Qi said again:

"Quickly order twelve people to go to the four gates with the soldiers of the government, and every group of three people stares at the four gates, Qianli Yue's physique is huge, and it is impossible to get out of the city. Staring at the four gates is to stick wings. ”

"No!"

Bai Liyan's heart was burning with anger at the moment, this was the first time that someone dared to steal five horses from the government under his nose, how rampant.

At the same time, in Zhaoyang Jun's mansion, Mick and Hue were overjoyed, and the five horses had been moved to a top-secret place, just waiting for the limelight to pass and show off.

"Haha, it's finally here." Mick rubbed his hands as if he had obtained a very good treasure, and then the golden light in front of him burst out: "Brother Hu, how many inches of silver do you say this horse can be worth." ”

Hue shook his head and said:

"It's too much to sell a good horse that you finally got it."

"Of course, it is not possible to sell, the only famous horse in the world is 'Jianbao', how can a good horse that is hard to find be willing to let go for money. In the future, it will be domesticated and given to the beautiful woman as a dowry, so that I can call my heart, hehaha......"

Mick laughed loudly, and Hue said worriedly:

"That group of people is missing five thousand miles of jumps, they must be looking for Qiu Ruipu to settle accounts, although they hit people first, the nobles who can make twenty-eight horses of thousands of miles leap must be not small, it is better to be careful."

"Hmph, no matter how big it is, it can be bigger than the prince." Mick said disdainfully, smug.

Unexpectedly, Kong Zeng, the guardian of Chaoyang Jun, rushed into the house in a panic, looking panicked, as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime.

Seeing this, Hue was quite displeased:

"What kind of system is panicking, let's see the hell in the daytime."

Kong Zeng wiped away the sweat and stammered:

"No, it's not. Yes yes ......"

"What's the matter?"

"Is that the one who came...... It's Yongxinghou, it's Yongxinghou's horse, and we're stealing Yongxinghou's horse. ”

As soon as the words came out, Hu Ai's heart shook wildly, and he trembled three times together with his soul, and a cold air on his back rushed to the heavenly spirit, and his originally white face was covered with a layer of white paint, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is miserable.

"It's broken, it's broken...... Brother Xian, we're in trouble. I said it, it's Yongxing Hou, that's right. ”

Hue wanted to cry without tears, and Mick was surprised, but this one was not like the six gods of Hue. was silent for a long time, or Mick was shocked by his cleverness, and was still immersed in the shock of his masterpiece and slowly reminisced, until he tasted it, walked up to Kong Zeng two steps forward, and stretched out his hand to see two melons:

"Fool, why don't you inquire before the horse team is stealing horses!"

Kong Zeng touched his swollen cheeks, very innocent, pay attention to the two of you, it was the horse team that stole the horse, what is this slap on my face.

Kong Zeng was aggrieved and stunned for a moment and replied:

"Return, back to Mi Gongzi, when the horse team was stealing horses, I only thought that Qiu Ruipu was betting on Yongxing Hou to pass through the hall, how do you know that it is reminiscing, and when Yongxing Hou goes to the stable to see the horse, this is the stuffing that is exposed, where can I think that it will be Yongxing Hou. Besides, didn't you see it yesterday? ”

"Rice bucket, waste!" Miktri scolded, and then added, "Someone can see you when you lead the horse." ”

"Yes, but Guichun Street behind the government is also idle on weekdays, and it is too early to lead the horse, even if there are people, they have already dispersed."

"No, Qianli Yue is too eye-catching, and people must be seen strangely along the way. It must be transferred immediately to avoid being discovered by the government. ”

"Brother Xian, the Marquis of Yongxing is not easy to mess with, let's return the horse, make amends, and turn this matter into a small matter, I don't dare to do anything with me."

"Brother is confused." Mick reprimanded: "Since Bailiyan came to power, all those who have been seized by him have been dismissed and cut off from power, and now that the matter has been done, if he uses this as an excuse, will it not harm my father and brother." ”

"But maybe he'll open the net, maybe not. It's really not good, it's better to ask someone to be a bridge from it and come forward for you and me than to be against it. ”

Hue retreated, and Mick didn't give an inch:

"Then have you ever thought that since you and I have already done this, if we don't open the net, you and I will be caught in the net. Besides, it's just stealing five horses, if it's really in the hands of Bailiyan, the conspirators and masterminds share the same crime, it's just a big deal to pay him some money, he really dares to do anything to you and me. ”

Mick doesn't seem to be amazing, but he has a bad belly. He knew very well that the death of five horses was nothing but theft, and that according to the current law, the commoners were to serve seven or eight years of hard labor in prison at most, and the nobles could pay for their crimes and be spared from prison. Based on this alone, Mick was not at all worried that Bailiyan would dare to kill him.

But is that really the case?

At this time, two groups of nearly 1,000 people gathered in the mansion, one wave was the auxiliary soldiers of the royal family headed by Sima Liaoping of the city government, and the casino forces headed by the big dealer Huang Che on the other side.

"Damn, fattened their dog guts, and stole it from Master Hou's head, it's damn good." Huang Che scolded angrily, and then pointed the finger at Qiu Ruipu: "Lord Qiu, what did you do as an official, this is your dereliction of duty." ”

"This official ......" Qiu Ruipu is dumb, he eats Coptis chinensis and suffers, and he can't say anything.

In other words, it is an ordinary thing for ordinary people, and this matter has to be passed, and if the culprit is found, it will be over. Now not only stolen, but also stole from the first son-in-law, if not his fault for Qiu Ruipu, it is also his sin.
