Chapter 11: The Past of the Groom (3rd Watch)
Qin Feng felt that this housekeeper Qin Fu was also acting more casually, and it seemed that the relationship with him was really very good, so he sat on the side with himself.
But they have lived together for more than ten years, although there is a division between master and servant, but the friendship can really be regarded as brothers.
In fact, he is not very familiar with this groom Guan Ping, so it can be said that he doesn't know, but let's talk about him.
He was too tall, and although he looked like a horseman, he always felt something different.
Looking at Qin Fu next to him, he was also smiling and said, "What kind of person is this groom Guan Ping?" I saw that he was burly and had a kind of heroic air in him. ”
Qin Fu had something wrong on his face, and said, "This guy is very good at driving horses!" No matter how difficult the road is, he can drive relatively smoothly, and he is really a good horseman, and he may have driven horses for many years. ”
"Let's talk about his character! That's weird, there are so many people in the house, he doesn't get close to others, most of the time in his free time, he raises horses, does chores, basically doesn't talk to others about him, and he has a long face all day long, and he is so indifferent. ”
Qin Feng thought of some things, this kind of person was like he had committed a crime before, and he fled to another place, so he only did those jobs and didn't talk to others, for fear that others would know what he had done wrong before, either robbing and injuring people, or killing people or something like that.
Because if you talk too much to others, you will reveal what happened in the past, and even things that kill people and do evil, especially when you are drinking.
said: "You are the housekeeper in my house, you dare to ask for such a person, are you a little confused!"
In his heart, Guan Ping has already recognized him as a criminal, who has either killed people or committed crimes, and this kind of person can't stay by his side.
The first time he did it, there would be a second time, and he was also ruthless in his work, which could easily lead to a bloody case.
Qin Fu looked surprised and a little flustered.
"Master, the horseman Guan Ping was personally recruited by you, at that time, Lao Zhang in the house was in his fifties, and his health was getting worse and worse, so he didn't catch up with the horse, and he almost fell to the master twice, and then he went back to his hometown. So if you don't have a groom, you will recruit him. ”
He couldn't laugh or cry, he did it himself, he was blind at the beginning, since he found such a groom.
Although he is honest now, but when the killing intent comes, if he can't stop it, something will definitely happen.
can only admit it, and said: "You tell me about the situation at that time, and I will think about it again, what kind of person is this!" Maybe at the time. ”
Qin Fu could only recall the events of that day and tell the master about it.
It seems very helpless, this is all in the past, but the master can't remember any of it, and he keeps chasing himself and asking, I really feel annoyed.
It was a month ago, and it was winter, and the weather was very cold, and there was a cold wind blowing everywhere on the road in Tokyo, and it was really freezing and people shivering.
However, it is so unfortunate that Lao Zhang in the house is old, so he asks to go back to his hometown to care for the elderly, he really can't catch up with the horse, and if he rushes again, something will really happen.
The horse in the house, which has also been raised for many years, was originally an ordinary horse, but now that it is older, it is time to change to a new horse.
My lord and I went to the trading market in the north of the city, intending to buy a new horse and hire another groom.
The big officials in the court traveled, it was all carriages, and if they walked or rode a donkey by themselves, it would be really embarrassing.
In that trading market, I turned around, but the horses I saw were not very good, either the horses were too old and could only be used for a year or two at most, or the horses were too small to run far, and they were prone to accidents.
The best horses have been picked away, and in addition, there have been frequent wars at the border in recent years, so there are more requests for good horses, and even there, there are no good horses in sight.
It won't take long to buy such a bad horse, and it will still be a waste of money, and in the past few months, there have been fewer and fewer people in the court, and they can only barely live enough, so how can they waste it.
I was going to leave the market, but I accidentally looked to the other side, and there was a good black horse and a man in shabby clothes.
I didn't see it when I came, but when I left, the horse and the man appeared, and it must have been not long after.
At that time, the master was very happy! For the man wrote a few words on the ground, saying that the horse could be sold for five taels of silver, which was more than half as cheap as in the market.
The bad horses in there cost eight taels of silver, and a good horse was fifteen taels a piece, but there was no goods, so it would take a long time.
So I went with the master, and asked the man, and I was going to buy the horse.
I found that the man had a lot of blood stains on his body, and his appearance was also fierce, so he knew at a glance that he was not a good person, and this horse must have been stolen by him.
Let the master buy the horse, and then find a groom inside, and then it will be complete.
The old man bought the horse, but he asked the man a few questions.
Why was he so badly injured? Where is his hometown, looking at the shabby clothes on his body, he must have been wearing them for a long time.
Although he is burly, he seems to be a little weak, and he must have been hungry for a long time.
The man said that he was a northerner, and he and his wife had gone here to do some small business, but they were robbed by robbers halfway, and his wife was also killed, and she was also injured a lot, and she desperately escaped.
I haven't eaten for three days, and the little money on my body has long been used up, and I didn't want to sell my horse, but if I don't sell it again, I will really starve to death.
The old man felt pity for him, so he gave him an extra tael of silver, because he didn't have much money with him.
Since he came on horseback, he must be familiar with horses, and asked him if he would drive horses, and there was a shortage in the house, and a horseman who drove horses also said that he had a salary to take.
That man is Guan Ping, he said that he started practicing horse riding at the age of eight, and he could do a good cart of horses at the age of ten, and he could definitely be a good groom, and he had been living on the streets for three days, begging Master Qin to accept him.
He is really a good person, all the injuries on his body are injured by traitors, he will never do anything like stealing chickens and dogs, and he will definitely work hard!
Master, you agreed! He did drive a good cart of horses, and he was more diligent in his work, doing more than three people, but he had to eat for two.
Qin Feng, some pictures came to his mind, he was wearing blood-red clothes, which were stained with blood, and the clothes were also shabby, and the way he came from was not clear.
Just a few words, how can you leave him in the house, anyway, the good horse has already been bought, why bother with his business?
and also gave him six taels of silver, which is enough to live for a while.
Suddenly, a little anger came to my heart, and I still felt that this person was very dangerous. said: "Ah Fu, why didn't you persuade me at that time, if you persuaded me twice, I would definitely not do it, I feel that this groom Guan Ping doesn't look like a good person."
Qin Fu was very excited, and said: "Master, I didn't persuade you twice, I persuaded you several times, but you didn't listen, saying that this is just an ordinary person, and now that he is in a predicament, he should help him, and he is not, he eats and drinks in the mansion in vain."
Qin Feng could only smile bitterly, it was really ugly like that, it turned out that he did it himself, how could this person be so stupid, such a person dared to take it in.
