Chapter 66: The Horse Thief's Treasure (Part II)
An Yuqing opened the wooden box, it was full of medicinal materials, Xiao Ziyang checked it and found that these medicinal materials were all more than thirty years old, and there were more than ten kinds of medicinal materials more than fifty years old, including a hundred-year-old blood ginseng and a hundred-year-old Zizhi.
Suddenly, An Yuchan exclaimed, took out a few pieces of jewelry from the smallest box, and An Yurong showed a sad gaze when she saw the things in her hand. The two sisters burst into tears.
Xiao Ziyang understood that the two sisters had seen their own jewelry in the box.
Looking at the crying sad sisters, Xiao Ziyang didn't know what to do, so he had to watch from the side.
After a while, the two gradually stopped crying.
An Yuchan wiped away the tears on her face and said: "Let Brother Xiao smile, our sisters can't ......help but think of the old things of my Anjiabao when they see that there are old things from my Anjiabao in this box, and they think of their relatives in distress."
Xiao Ziyang comforted: "The deceased has passed away, the two of you mourn, now that you have revenge, you should look forward." If your relatives know about it, they will never want to see you immersed in grief all the time. ”
Xiao Ziyang diverted the topic: "Look at the two of you, with these many possessions, your sisters will not be able to rebuild Anjiabao in the future." ”
An Yuchan said: "Our sisters are all women, how to talk about rebuilding Anjiabao, Cao Tianhao was killed by Brother Xiao." Without our sisters, the horse thieves in this cottage would never be your opponent, and the money should belong to you. ”
Xiao Ziyang said with a smile: "There is a saying in the rivers and lakes that those who see have a share, let's not push around, many of these medicinal materials are useful to my cultivation, so they all belong to me, and the rest of the property belongs to your sisters." ”
"Miss Su, don't shirk, although money is something outside the body, but it is difficult to live without money in the world. ”
An Yuchan groaned, their sisters have been walking the rivers and lakes for more than a year, and they can also understand the difficulty of not having money, although she is not a greedy person, but she can't bear the suffering of her two younger sisters, and said: "The amount of these belongings is huge, and our sister needs so many ......."
Xiao Ziyang stopped her words and said, "Let's not shirk either, these things will be put here first, and whoever of us needs it will come and use it again." ”
An Yuchan felt reasonable, so she nodded in agreement.
The three of them came out of the cellar, and Xiao Ziyang moved the big iron table back to its original place.
An Yuchan took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from Cao Tianhao's bedroom, wrote down the required medicinal materials and handed them to him.
Xiao Ziyang was about to go down the mountain, and suddenly thought that the black-hoofed dragon scale horse was worth 10,000 gold, and there was no market, and he was afraid that taking it down the mountain would cause trouble.
Jinzhou is the most important place to produce horses in Xiliang, and the Iron Horse Club is a horse thief, and there are many good horses in the club. When the Cao brothers fled, almost half of the good horses were brought out.
Xiao Ziyang plans to pick another good horse.
When he came to the place where the horses were raised, Xiao Ziyang looked at the dozens of stables, and the hundreds of high-quality horses suddenly felt a little worried. There are only a few women and children left in the cottage, and how to take care of these many horses, thinking about it, can only sell these horses.
He wandered around the stable for a moment, and was pleasantly surprised to find another black-hoofed dragon-scale horse. This dragon horse is red all over, and the divine horse is abnormal.
In addition to this black-hoofed dragon-scale horse, there were more than a dozen giant horses in the stable that were one foot taller than the others and two feet long.
This ** is also a precious variety from the prairie, called the black bowl, is the best match for the heavy cavalry; its speed is only in the middle and upper, but the strength is very great, and the endurance is excellent.
Although Xiao Ziyang loves horses, he doesn't know how to ride horses, but he has his own methods, as long as he can afford to carry himself, he is naturally a good horse.
Xiao Ziyang really found a good horse for this test ride.
Most of the horses in the stables staggered and staggered as soon as he rode them, and the black-bowl horses, though they could carry him, looked struggling.
There was a thin jujube red horse, but it didn't take much to carry him.
When Xiao Ziyang saw this horse for the first time, he felt a little strange in his heart, such an ugly inferior horse was still fed alone, and the forage in the trough was actually soybeans accompanied by eggs.
He got on the horse and tried it, and was overjoyed, this thin horse hunched his body of more than 600 catties without trembling, and he was leisurely chewing grass.
He excitedly led his horse to the martial arts training ground and galloped a few laps. The speed and explosiveness of this horse are better than those two black-hoofed dragon scale horses.
What Xiao Ziyang didn't know was that this was Cao Tianhao's favorite horse. The mountain road is difficult to walk, Cao Tianhao is afraid of hurting his beloved horse, and he will change to another ride when he goes down the mountain to plunder.
Xiao Ziyang brought the black black-hoofed dragon scale horse under the mountain back to the cottage. Riding the red thin horse, leading a string of healthy horses, under the eyes of the An family sisters, they left the cottage.
When Xiao Ziyang returned to the valley where he had fought fiercely with Cao Tianhao's brothers, a black crowd blocked his way.
There are quite a few acquaintances in this group. The middle-aged man who was surrounded by stars and moons, wearing a green seven-grade official uniform, was Zhang Wenbo, the county magistrate.
According to the official system of Xiliang State, at the county level, in addition to the main civil and political affairs of the Zhengqipin county order, there is also a criminal order from the seventh grade, and a military envoy from the seventh grade, one of these two people is in charge of the county's criminal law and public security, and the other is in charge of the county's military equipment. These two people are half a level lower than the county commander, nominally under the county commander, but in fact they are only responsible to their immediate superiors, and the county commander cannot command at all.
When Xiao Ziyang first arrived in Nanba County, he dealt with Zhang Wenbo. On Zhang Xingling's side, it was Liang Zheng, the head catcher of the county, and Du Yongxian, the owner of Dujiazhuang.
When everyone saw Xiao Ziyang, they hurried up to meet him. Xiao Ziyang took a few quick steps to get off the horse, came to the front of everyone and dismounted, and arched his hand: "Master Zhang, Liang Zhutou, Master Du, I don't know what happened, I actually worked a few people here." ”
Zhang Xingling arched his hand and said: "This official got a report this morning, the head of the Cangshan thief was beheaded by a person at the fork, Chen County Order, Li Bingbei envoy, and the official was overjoyed, the thief of Cangshan is a disaster in the township, poisoning the people, it is really a nail in the eyes of the two adults Chen Li and the official, a thorn in the flesh." I also have to report that there was once a group of Cangshan horse thieves who attacked Laojunguan, but they were all shot at the bottom of the mountain. The two adults and I thought that the person who killed the thief must be Daoist Wu, and now I see that Daochang came from the mountain, and led more than a dozen healthy horses, he must have eliminated the thieves of Cangshan and returned triumphantly. ”
Xiao Ziyang smiled, "Yes, the thief of Cangshan is poisoning the township, and his methods are cruel, and he wants to kill him in the morning, but he has no chance." ”
Then Xiao Ziyang described the events of last night to everyone one by one, but he didn't mention the An family sisters, only saying that the cottage had been burned clean by himself.
