Text Chapter 7 Losing Horses and Judges Thieves
"What?" Yutai, who had just walked over on the side, happened to hear Chao Yi's words, and he was furious and shouted.
"Chao Yi, you go to the inn's shopkeeper and invite him, ask what is going on, and then make plans." Chao Gai was shocked for a moment, then immediately regained his composure and said a word to Chao Yi next to him.
"Yes, I'll go." Chao Yi answered, turned around and left.
As soon as Chao Yi left like this, Yu Tai opened his mouth and said to Chao Gai: "Brother Tianwang, what else do you ask?" Isn't that obvious? The people of the inn coveted our horses, and in the middle of the night when we were asleep, people stole them unknowingly, and when I first came in, I found that the shopkeeper was not a good bird, hum, let me see him for a while, and I had to teach him a lesson. ”
"Hey, Brother Yutai, don't worry, the matter hasn't been figured out yet, our horses don't know who stole it yet, don't jump to conclusions, the shopkeeper will come over and ask carefully, if it was really he who stole it, it's not too late to say it." Chao Gai waved his hand at Yutai and said.
As soon as Chao Gai's words fell, Mi Sheng, who heard the news, also walked over, still carrying his big axe in his hand, his eyes were wide, and he walked over angrily, shouting in a loud voice: "Brother, it must be a good thing done by the shopkeeper, I will go and split him." As he spoke, he was about to walk out.
Chao Gai and Yu Tai hurriedly stepped forward to stop Mi Sheng, which also made Mi Sheng unhappy for a while, and said complainingly: "Oh, Brother Tianwang, Brother Yutai, what are you two doing to stop me?"
"You fool, you don't know how to do things, you haven't checked things clearly, don't kill people and set fire at every turn, Brother Tianwang has already asked Brother Chao Yi to call the shopkeeper." Yu Tai also calmed down at this time, and before Chao Gai could speak, he first learned and sold to talk about Mi Shenglai.
Although Mi Sheng was impulsive but not stupid, when Yu Tai said this to him, he also understood, and snorted angrily at the moment, and sat aside without talking.
At this time, Chao Yi came over with the innkeeper, the shopkeeper's age was forty-five or sixteen years old, with big ears, a smile on his face, his eyes were squinted into a slit, his body was fat, his clothes were gorgeous, and he was a smiling Maitreya.
The metaphor of this smiling Maitreya is really right, this shopkeeper can be regarded as the number one person in this Zhao Jiaji, surnamed Ma, called Ma Dayou, smiling all day long, plus he has a fat figure and has the nickname of Smiling Maitreya, but this person is ruthless, a profiteer who is alive and well, and the person who is targeted by him can't afford to pick up a layer of skin, and the leper tiger Wang Mao is the bully of this Zhao Jiaji.
So is it said that the horses of Chao Gai and their group were done by the smiling Maitreya Ma Dayou of this shopkeeper? Be.
On this day, Chao Gai and his party rode horses to stay in the hotel, and this Ma Dayou set his eyes on their dozen horses, the horses of the Song Dynasty were very scarce, and some large families and officials were riding donkey carts or riding donkeys to hurry, and the price of a horse was also ridiculously high.
This smiling Maitreya Ma Dayou also colluded with Wang Meng, the patrol tiger of the nearby Denggu Mountain, the two of them are partners, Ma Dayou provides information, Wang Meng is responsible for supporting him behind his back, that is, Ma Dayou has something to do Wang Meng covers him.
As soon as Ma Dayou saw that Chao Gai and they had so many horses, he immediately had bad thoughts, and secretly thought that he would sell these dozen horses to Wang Meng, who was climbing Drum Mountain, and he would have to make a lot of money, so he secretly stole them out at night and sent them to Denggu Mountain overnight.
Ma Dayou himself thought very well there, but he didn't ask who stole it.
As soon as Chao Gai saw that the shopkeeper was coming, he asked Chao Yi to move over and sit down, let Ma Dayou sit there, and served tea, Chao Gai had no expression on his face, and he couldn't see any ideas.
"Shopkeeper, did you hear any suspicious sounds last night?" Chao Gai didn't ask about the horse directly, as if he asked so casually.
Ma Dayou's heart was like a mirror, knowing that Chao Gai was going to ask him about the horses this morning, so when he heard Chao Gai's words, he shook his head and said, "I slept quite deeply yesterday, and I didn't hear any sound?" What is the matter with this object? ”
"Oh, is it like this, today one of our brothers found that all our horses were gone, and let the thieves steal them, and the shopkeeper didn't know anything about it?" Chao Gai looked at Ma Dayou and smiled coldly, and then asked.
"What? Is there such a thing? Ma Dayou pretended not to know, and said with a surprised expression.
"Fart, you're still fucking acting for me here, say, did you steal it?" Mi Sheng next to him couldn't bear it anymore, scolded loudly, and then split the big axe in his hand and split the table in front of him into four or five pieces.
"Hiss......" As soon as he saw this posture, Ma Dayou was afraid, although he was a bully in this Zhao Jiaji, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, but no matter how he said it, he was also the shopkeeper of a small inn, and when he saw Mi Sheng's more than seventy pounds of mountain opening axe, this cold sweat suddenly came down.
"Say, did you steal those dozens of our horses?" Immediately afterwards, Chao Gai shouted, and his voice suddenly became a lot higher, and Ma Dayou was excited.
"This guest officer, this guest officer, can't be so wronged, there are dozens of horses, not so many, I'll take it away......" Ma Dayou was startled by Chao Gai's broken drink, and subconsciously told the truth for a while, and only reacted halfway through the words, but when he saw the eyes of Chao Gai around them, he knew that he was in charge of Chao Gai.
This person's poor psychological quality is easy to have accidents, Ma Dayou originally had a ghost in his heart, this horse was stolen by him, and after Mi Sheng and Chao Gai's fright, he told the truth at that time.
Seeing that Ma Dayou had been deceived, Yu Tai smiled and said: "Brother Tianwang is still smart, just a little trick, and with such a slight trick, he will deceive the truth, let's talk about it, where did you let you put our horses?"
"I ...... Alas! Ma Dayou sighed, thinking that he was unlucky, who let his heart be so bad, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I said."
Then, Ma Dayou told him what he thought, how he contacted the patrolling tiger Wang Meng who climbed Drum Mountain, how he stole the horse, and how he sent it to Drum Mountain overnight.
"Wow, yes, I'm so angry, you pickled killer, the idea has hit the head of my brother, do you know who the king of my family is?" Mi Sheng gritted his teeth and pointed at Ma Dayou and said.
Ma Dayou glanced at Chao Gai, and saw that Chao Gai was majestic and extraordinary, especially the temperament revealed on his body, which was as stable as Mount Tai and not angry and self-prestigious, so he knew that this time he kicked the iron plate, provoked people who shouldn't be provoked, and blamed himself for being insatiable.
At that moment, Ma Dayou arched his hand towards Chao Gai and asked: "I don't know the hero's name, let the little one know which hero's hand he is guilty of?"
