Chapter 195 Poor acting
Zhou Ning walked to the courtyard, Lu Qing followed, and the master bookkeeper hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhou Ning: "My lord, no one has brought a horse over yet." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Then let's talk about this horse first." Zhou Ning didn't sit down, just stood casually at the table with his hands on the table.
When the chief bookkeeper heard Zhou Ning say this, he hurriedly said to the man, "Lead the horse over." ā
The man walked towards Zhou Ning with a grin, and Zhou Ning asked him to lead the horse around the yard. Lu Qing walked behind the corner gate and peeked with the old man Song Guoxing.
When the man led the horse to the corner gate, the horse's head suddenly turned in the direction of the corner gate, and the man pulled the reins with both hands hard before he could pull it away.
"You're usually fine with this beast, but it's not pleasant to find you at this time." The man scolded the horse in a low voice, he was afraid that the county master would think that this horse was wild and untamable, who didn't want to buy a tame horse when buying a horse?
Fierce horses are good, but they are not easy to tame, and it is useless to buy fierce horses, it is difficult for fierce horses to change hands, the horse recognizes the old owner, and the new owner wants to tame it, but it will take a lot of hard work.
Zhou Ning's attention was all on the horse, especially when the horse approached the corner gate, Zhou Ning squinted slightly and even stopped breathing.
Although Zhou Ning is not good at riding, he is also a noble son, and he usually has to learn horsemanship, and going out is nothing more than riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair, and he still knows a lot about horses.
The horse's vision is not very good, and if you suddenly approach it, even if you are the owner of the horse that it is very familiar with, it will not be able to see clearly, and it will not recognize you at all by sight, so the horse is very easily frightened, because it cannot see clearly, so it is afraid.
However, horses have a very sensitive sense of smell, and horses can quickly distinguish different tastes, so horses will not eat poisonous grass when they eat grass.
Many times horses recognize people by their sense of smell, Zhou Ning knows that Old Man Song is behind the corner gate, if the horse doesn't react at all, then there is a chance that there will be eight out of ten. Nine is hopeless.
Seeing that the horse's head turned to the corner door and refused to follow the man for a long time, the corners of Zhou Ning's mouth unconsciously rose in a good-looking arc.
Hard work pays off, even if the sins of the past few days have not been in vain, seeing this scene, Zhou Ning's heart already has a bottom.
Lu Qing behind the corner gate had no bottom in his heart, he repeatedly asked Lao Song Tou if this horse was his family, Lao Song Tou rubbed his eyes vigorously, and said that it didn't look like anything.
The man led the horse around the yard twice, and only a small part could be seen from behind the corner gate, and the old Song Tou looked at it twice and couldn't be sure if it was his horse.
Lu Qing pulled him aside and asked him angrily, "Are you so dizzy that your old eyes are so dizzy?" Don't even recognize your own horse? Is it or isn't? ā
Song Guoxing's helpless expression was very funny, he sighed for a long time and said: "The horse is like my horse, the bell is not my family's, and my family's horse does not have a saddle." I was afraid that the saddle would be lost, so I took it off at night and took it to the house, and I just tied the horse outside, but I didn't expect the saddle to be lost. ā
Lu Qingzhen didn't know what to say, if it weren't for his age, he really wanted to kick him to death. Ask you if the horse is your family, you say yes and it's over, and I don't dare to admit it for a long time because the horse bell and saddle are not his family.
"You mean you should lead the horse to the house and leave the saddle outside, don't you?" Lu Qing sarcastically mocked him angrily, and it was cheaper to lose the saddle left and right.
Unexpectedly, Lao Song Tou did not choose such a method, he also took Lu Qing's sarcasm seriously, and followed his words and said: "You are stupid? If I had known that I would move out to live with the horses, I didn't believe that they could steal me? ā
Okay, Lu Qing is convinced, the world is really big, and there is such a strange old man, it is as if he can't hear good words at a great age.
Lu Qing walked into the courtyard from the corner gate, Zhou Ning glanced at him, he nodded, meaning that Old Song Tou had already recognized the horse as his family.
As expected, Zhou Ning actually already knew it in his heart, and he was waiting for Lu Qing's news to confirm whether his idea was correct.
"Take it!"
Zhou Ning gave an order, and the servants rushed up, and the man was twisted in front of Zhou Ning before he had time to react.
"Get on your knees!" The servant kicked the man in the crook of the leg and immediately pushed him to his knees.
The man's heart was pounding, like a fish swallowing a hook, struggling in terror and despair, and he raised his head in panic, and his eyes couldn't stop looking around. At this time, it is useless to think about anything, it is impossible to escape.
At this time, he regretted that he should not have broken into this net, just thinking about a thousand taels of silver and flowers, he did not expect that this would be a trap.
"Where did you steal this horse? Still not confessing to the truth? Zhou Ning asked sharply, and the man felt that there was a roar of thunder above his head, which made his eyes black.
I panicked and hated that I didn't have a pair of wings under my ribs, and I saw that I had fallen to the point where it was difficult to fly with wings. His eyes were rolling wildly, and his breathing was completely out of rhythm.
The horse is not marked, why do you say that I stole it? He immediately put his heart on the side, and decided to rely on the county master to fight to the death, relying on the past and everything will be fine, and if he can't rely on the past, it will be the same ending as now.
It's so bad that no matter how you go, it's no worse, there's no more to lose, but he made up his mind. He didn't answer Zhou Ning's question directly, but laughed out loud.
It is a truth that men laugh and sometimes cry with women, and they are all a kind of venting of emotions.
He wanted to use laughter to cover up his weakness, and he also wanted to use laughter to strengthen his courage. What he didn't know was how meticulous Zhou Ning's mind was, and Zhou Ning was the best at hearing people's psychological and spiritual states from crying and laughing.
Pan Yufeng just cried and leaked the 'heavenly machine' to bring herself to prison, this is her own doing, and Zhou Ning is smart and capable enough.
If that person didn't laugh, Zhou Ning wasn't sure what he thought. Although Zhou Ning can now conclude that this horse is the horse of the Song family, Zhou Ning is still not sure whether the person in front of him is a horse thief.
Just because the horse is in his hands doesn't mean that he stole it, maybe he bought it with money, maybe there will be more cases.
With his smile, Zhou Ning concluded that even if he didn't steal the horse, he knew who stole it. There was panic and panic in his laughter, but his expression was full of disdain and resentment, and it was obvious that he was using laughter to hide the true emotions in his heart.
What he didn't expect when he smashed his skull was that it was precisely his clumsy performance that exposed his truest emotions.
"Good! What a bullying official! He struggled to stand up, but the two servants held him down.
