The bearded man put down his sheepskin, looked at Kuta, and said, "How many sheepskins are here?"

Kuta smiled excitedly and said, "Fifteen sheepskins, sir." ”

"The quality looks pretty good, there's no dead sheepskin in there, is it?" asked the bearded man.

Kuta and Vidnika both jumped in their hearts, and Kuta smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, I have been selling here for many years, and you didn't also inspect it just now, all of them are of excellent quality." ”

The bearded man nodded: "I want 15 sheepskins, how much are you going to sell?"

Kuta's eyes narrowed with a smile when he heard the bearded man's words, and he said happily: "20 silver coins per sheepskin, a total of 3 gold coins"

The bearded man groaned for a moment, then finally nodded and agreed to the price, and he took out three gold coins from his bosom and handed them to Kuta, while motioning for the guards behind him to remove the sheepskin.

The tall guard rolled up his big hand, tied up the sheepskin, and hugged it under his armpit.

Kuta happily thanked him all the time.

The bearded man nodded politely to Kuta and turned to leave with the two guards.

Seeing the guests leaving, Kuta happily took the gold coins and shook them in front of Vidnina: "You see, I really sell 3 gold coins, not only the weather is good today, but even the luck is very good, this gentleman is the purchase of the big chamber of commerce at a glance." Vidnina, I'll just pack it up here, if you want to buy a fishbone comb, go ahead, don't go far. I'll come back soon, you know?"

Vidnina was relieved to see that the sheepskin had finally been sold, and that the buyer had not checked for anything, but she always felt that this was very bad, but when she saw her happy father, she did not know how to persuade him, so she got out of the carriage and went to the bazaar to look for the bell bracelet that Tia wanted.

Along the market, Vidnina looked and searched, there were many stalls in the market, all kinds of items, food, drink, use, as if there was everything, and soon, Vidnina found what she was looking for in front of a stall, not only the bell bracelet that Tia wanted, but also the beautiful fishbone comb.

After some bargaining, Vidnina finally bought these two items for 5 silver coins, after buying the things, Vidnina didn't go shopping, just went back, she went out today and has been restless until now, now she just wants to go home quickly.

As the crowd weaved back to the stall, his father, Kuta, had already packed up his things, and when he saw Vidnika returning, he happily asked her, "My dear little lamb, have you bought your fishbone comb?"

Videnina smiled and waved her bracelet and fishbone comb.

Kuta gave a thumbs up: "Well done, come on, we're ready to go back, your mother can't wait for us." ”

Vidnina climbed into the carriage, and Kuta led the horses and walked slowly out of the market.

Vidnina, who was clutching the fishbone comb, didn't know why her heart was beating so fast, as if something was about to happen, she stuck her head out of the carriage and looked around, but she couldn't see anything that made her nervous.

"Stop, stop, the carriage ahead, stop. A voice shouted from behind.

Vidnina looked over and sighed in her heart, it was the guard next to the bearded man just now.

His father, Kuta, also heard the shouting, and stopped the carriage, and the guard ran up, stopped Kuta, and gasped and said to him, "There is something wrong with your sheepskin, you wait a minute, our director Roston will come at once, you wait a minute." ”

When Kuta heard the guard's words, his heart tightened and he became a little uneasy.

Soon, Director Roston, who was in the mouth of the guard, rushed over, and it was the bearded man just now.

"One of the sheepskins you just sold me was a dead sheepskin, and if you give me 10 silver coins, the dead sheepskin will be half the price. Rothton looked at Kuta unhappily and spoke slowly.

As soon as Roston finished speaking, Kuta's face changed, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and he opened his mouth and said, "How can it be possible, sir, you must be mistaken." 15 sheepskins, which you yourself examined, and now say that there is a sick sheepskin, and I never sell a sick sheepskin. ”

Kuta's words made Roston's face sink, and his eyes when he looked at Kuta slowly became cold, and he spoke to Kuta again: "Return me 10 silver coins, or you wait here, and I will have the sick sheepskin return to you, and you return 20 silver coins to me." ”

Kuta saw that someone next to him began to notice them, his heart became a little anxious, the palm of the hand holding the whip began to sweat, and he spoke loudly to Roston: "Sir, don't slander me casually, I have sold sheepskins in the city of Tminas for twenty years, and I have never sold sheepskins for sick and dead sheep, don't talk nonsense." ”

Roston sighed and said to the guards, "Go and call the town watch." ”

When Kuta heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious, and pulled the carriage to leave, when Rothton saw it, he immediately shouted: "Stop him!"

The guards immediately rushed over, grabbed Kuta's clothes, and didn't let Kuta leave.

Kuta panicked, and while waving his hand to rip the guard's hand, he shouted, "Go away, I didn't sell sick sheepskins, you want to slander people." ”

As soon as the voice spread, the crowd of onlookers suddenly increased.

Kuta's expression became more and more nervous, and Vidnina in the back of the carriage was very frightened, sitting in the carriage, clutching the carriage and not daring to move.

The guard's stature was not as tall as Kuta's, and he was pushed back several steps before he could stand firmly.

Roseton's guard stood in front of Kuta and shouted to the crowd of onlookers: "This man sold the sick and dead sheepskins to our chamber of commerce, and we asked him to return 10 silver coins, but not only did he not return, but he also wanted to escape." ”

Kuta was immediately distraught by this shout, and shouted: "You talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, I never sell sick and dead sheepskins." ”

The guard stopped Kuta to prevent him from taking the carriage away, and Kuta was so anxious that he waved the whip in his hand, "Smack!" and hit the guard in the face.

The guard fell to the ground with a scream, and a blood stain instantly appeared on his face.

When the crowd of onlookers saw that something was wrong, everyone began to retreat, for fear that the whip would draw themselves.

The guard, who was knocked to the ground by the whip, stood up angrily, and wanted Kuta to pounce, and the two of them soon scuffled with a punch and a kick.

Vidnina had already gotten out of the carriage at this time and shouted to the two: "Don't fight, don't fight, stop." Please, stop!"

The two of them in a rage had already fought a real fire, and they couldn't hear Vidnina's advice at all.

Vidnina quickly turned and ran to Roseton, took out the money bag from her bosom, counted out ten silver coins, handed them to Roseton, and cried and said to him: "Sir, we are wrong, we should not have sold you that sick sheepskin, please let us go, let them stop." ”

Seeing Vidnina's tears, Rothton's heart softened, took the 10 silver coins, and was about to call the guards to stop, when he suddenly found that the scene was quiet, and Rothton and Widdina looked over.

The guard was armed with a short scimitar, and the other end of the scimitar was pierced squarely in Kuta's heart!
