Chapter 152: Ask the Horse

"An innocent businessman, why should he be so nervous." Shen Nianyi said softly, his fingers had found the key, under the horse's mane, the horses in the barracks were all branded, some were in the hip position, and some were even more hidden, in case they were discovered by the enemy, "Tell me, what is this?" ”

The man looked extremely embarrassed: "This, at that time, I only thought it was a good horse, since the owner's hand was inconvenient and we wanted to peddle it, we were in a hurry to receive the goods, so we didn't look so carefully." After thinking about it, he raised his voice again to give himself courage, "What kind of person is Childe, what do you care about such idle things!" ”

Shen Nianyi didn't eat him at all, his fingers continued to rub carefully at the brand, the mark of this horse, sure enough, was under Ningxia's account, this person rode a horse all the way, isn't he ready to go back?

The man saw that he looked calm and relaxed, and he was a little anxious, and wanted to drag the yellow horse away, as long as others couldn't find the horse, there was no evidence that he sold military horses, but Shen Nianyi seemed to be understated, one hand on the horse's back, the man just couldn't drag it, he looked at Shen Nianyi in surprise, and then looked at the horse.

In the end, it was the person who had seen the scene, and knew that he had met an expert and a master, so the man actually let go of his hand and gave a salute: "Under is the second shopkeeper of Zhuo Ming Horse Market, I don't know what this son is called, this horse market is an industry under the name of the prefect Min, if there is anything wrong, please bear with me." ”

Shen Nianyi smiled faintly and said, "Lord Min, Min Zijin? ”

The second shopkeeper heard him call Lord Min by his name, knowing that he had encountered a hard stubble, and his eyes were slippery, as if he was thinking about how to deal with people in the past, the laws of the Celestial Empire, military horses are not allowed to be bought and sold privately, he was also greedy for that little cheap, but he didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make rice, and the money was not earned, and someone had already come to the door.

"It turns out that Lord Min is also involved in the horse business, which is really surprising." Shen Nianyi was too lazy to care about these idle things, "I don't want to talk to your family, so I just ask a few words, and after asking, I will take this horse away, there is nothing else, if you don't like it back, then take your time one by one according to the law." ”

The second shopkeeper knew that this was a way out for him, so he quickly nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, what does Childe want to ask, even if he asks, he must know everything, he must say everything, there is still good tea in the shop, why don't Childe go and have a cup of tea and talk slowly?" ”

"Don't worry about it, I'll ask you first, the person who sold this horse to you, but the look I just said?" Shen Nian's aggressiveness in asking, in the eyes of some people, the more vicious they are, the more they can't afford to offend, so there is no need to pretend to be polite.

"Yes, yes, Childe is right, that person has dark skin, a square face, and a scar on the left corner of his mouth." The second shopkeeper secretly wiped his cold sweat, "The accent of the speech is also a little weird, it shouldn't be from Tiandu." ”

"How do you know it's his?"

"I have been in the horse market business for more than ten years, this horse is a good horse, but the temperament is also fierce, if it is not the owner, where is willing to obediently obey the discipline, the man gestures lightly, but the horse is obedient, and there are some skills under his hands." The second shopkeeper knew that it must be a little strange to make such a horse, and he was also fascinated by money at that time, so he didn't dare to hide it at this time, for fear that there would be big things waiting for trouble in the future.

Shen Nianyi snorted: "He came to sell horses, how much did he ask, and how much did you give?" ”

The sweat on the forehead of the second shopkeeper slowly seeped out again: "The price is eighty." "This is a little lower than the market price, and the man should also know that there is a little risk to take on this military horse, so he didn't say much," Later, the man was really in a hurry to make a move, and let it go after forty times. ”

"Why did he tell you to sell his mount cheaply?" Shen Nianyi secretly sneered, such a yellow horse is worth a lot of money in the prime of life, and it will cost 120 yuan to get 40 yuan, which is really called cheap sales.

"I asked, he didn't elaborate, it seems to be waiting for the money, urgent, you also know the guest's affairs, we can't ask too much, since the horses are not stolen and robbed, he took the initiative to sit on the ground and bargain, the deal will naturally become."

Shen Nianyi thought about the corpse carefully, Xiao Tang checked it thoroughly, and brought a pocket with him, which contained only one or two pieces of cash, and nothing else, forty pieces of money, said more or less, said a lot less, but when he turned around, where did the money go?

"Childe, everything that should be said is clear, can Childe be convenient and accommodating?" The second shopkeeper really couldn't see what he was thinking under his expression, so he had to ask cautiously.

Shen Nianyi knew that he couldn't ask anything else: "That person received the money, where did he go, do you know?" ”

The second shopkeeper shook his head blankly and said, "This is the territory of the horse market, and he walked the road he came and went, so he really didn't ask much." ”

Shen Nianyi also came along this road, there were not many people coming and going, they all came straight to the horse market, and some returned empty-handed, if you want to say where the people who left, unless they say it explicitly, it should not be very clear: "Okay, for the time being, I can also think of these, if there is any more key, I will come and ask again." ”

The reins in his hand were drawn, and the eyes of the second shopkeeper were slighted, but he saw that Shen Nianyi had turned over and got on the horse, sat steadily, and was secretly taken aback.

The second shopkeeper is also the one who knows the eyes, seeing Shen Nianyi riding away, he didn't dare to mention the money for forty yuan of purchases, and when Shen Nianyi walked away, he dared to pinch the back of his hand, it was really unlucky, if this bad debt came out of himself, then he would have to work for nothing for a year, and he was known by Lord Min, I am afraid that this job will not be saved.

, where did this master come from, although he looks very good, but his face is down, so that he doesn't dare to make a sound, on weekdays, even if he sees Lord Min, he won't be like this, hell, it's really hell.

Shen Nianyi rode the yellow horse, sure enough, the four hooves spread out and flew into the air, it was a good horse, his hand patted on the horse's mane to show appeasement, still didn't understand why the man would sell his mount cheaply, he slowly leaned down, leaned into the ear of the yellow horse, and whispered: "Do you know that your master is no longer there?" ”

The yellow horse suddenly neighed, seemed to understand his words, and became manic, Shen Nianyi's pressure on the horse's back gradually increased, restraining its impulse to try to throw him off, all said that a good horse understands human nature, some things, others don't know, can it know?

"Your master is gone, don't you want to avenge him?" Shen Nianyi really regarded it as if he could understand everything, forcibly pressed the horse's head, and continued, "You are not with him for a day or two, what is the more important thing that makes him abandon you, or rather, he thinks that he will be better taken care of by putting you in the horse market!" ”

The speed of the yellow horse gradually slowed down, slowed down, without Shen Nianyi pulling the reins, standing on the side of the road by himself, no longer moving, Shen Nian jumped off the horse, and stood in front of it: "Could it be that I said that he sold you just so that you can continue to live." ”

Such a good horse, even if it passes through the hands of the traffickers, the person who buys it back will not be used as a coolie, as long as it is not so fierce that it will hurt people, it should be well cared for.

If that's the case, that person already knows that he is worried about his life, which is why he made such a difficult decision.

"Your master has brought you to Tiandu from far, far away, but you have also been to other places, if you understand my words, take me all for a walk, maybe you will find clues, so that your master will not lose his life in vain." Shen Nianyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with standing on the side of the road and talking to a livestock.

There was a passerby, and a curious gaze shot over, but in front of him, he was oppressed by the aura and didn't dare to go any further.

Shen Nianyi stretched out his hand and patted the horse's head: "If you can understand my words, let me know." ”

The yellow horse didn't move, but someone sneered behind his back and chuckled: "It's a horse, and it can't speak, how do you let it tell it, do you have to say it is good, it is appropriate?" ”

It was a young woman, dressed elegantly, with her bun hanging down her shoulders, her face was beautiful and quiet, she smiled at the corners of her mouth, but she didn't dare to look directly at her with a pair of almond eyes, but she just looked at Shen Nianyi not far away, and there was a woman beside her, pulling her sleeves over there, as if she was saying that she shouldn't talk to a strange man on the street.

There was a carriage parked beside the two of them, and it was supposed to be a long walk and just rested here.

Shen Nian glanced at it lightly, and didn't say anything, in front of the two of them being transparent, leading the yellow husd to move forward slowly, and when he walked past the young woman, he didn't look at it again.

"Well, I'll talk to you." The young woman was reluctant and shouted behind him.

Shen Nianyi ignored it at all, this kind of conversation was not beneficial to him to find clues, it would only add to the trouble, so he would not look back, and the other party would definitely not have the courage to chase after him, and when he walked out of ten steps, Huang Huma suddenly leaned over the horse's head and rubbed it on his sleeve.

He looked up, but saw a pair of big amber eyes, slowly shed tears, he whispered: "Try it, it would be great if you could find a clue, if you don't know, I will do my best." ”

It's just that the time left is really running out, Shen Nian thought about it, if Ningxia Sheng really appeared in the inn tomorrow, I don't know what kind of situation it would be, he raised his head and looked at the sky, it was a slight blue color.

Immediately, he turned over his horse again, let the yellow horse exert his strength, and galloped towards the west.
