Since the man worked for the shopkeeper, he has always been a good helper of the shopkeeper, doing the business of selling stolen goods, like this kind of thing to come to the river temple to find people, he has done it before, and he has long been familiar with it.
Because of the particularity of Zhenxi County, thieves who have committed crimes in Qiuzhou like to come here to avoid the limelight, and it is impossible for thieves to hand over the stolen goods to others, such as handing them over to the shopkeeper and letting the shopkeeper sell them, which is generally not the case.
Instead, the shopkeeper is responsible for finding buyers, and then notifying them to trade in person, or directly sell the stolen goods to the shopkeeper at a low price, and then sell them by the shopkeeper himself, but the latter situation is rare, after all, the thieves do all the things that lose their heads, and no one wants to cheapen the hard-earned property to others, or they can get a little more.
Feng Sanaxe is a person who doesn't want to sell good horses at a low price, he took his wife out of the house, and rode a horse to the River Temple, he is very hopeful that the horse can be sold at a good price, after all, he took a big risk, if he doesn't make more money, he is sorry for himself, these days waiting in the River Temple, he is not worried about anything, although occasionally a little sad, afraid of really killing an official, but overall life is quite good, every day and Feng Sanniang think about the future rich days, but full of comfort.
That night, the husband and wife ate the barbecue flatbread sold from Zhenxi County, and then lay down on the god table together, ready to sleep. It was cold, and their quilts were thin, and they couldn't sleep after turning them over.
Feng Sanniang couldn't help but complain: "When is this day the beginning, how long will we stay in this ghost place, can't we never go home!" ”
"Alas, isn't this a way to avoid the limelight, it's not like I haven't avoided it before, I'll have to go back in a few days." Feng Sanaxe sighed and said, "However, I have been in the city in the past few days, and the people in the city are living a good life." It's much richer than before, otherwise we'll move to the west of this town in the future! ”
Feng Sanniang sighed and said, "Isn't it so poor here, why did you suddenly become rich?" ”
Feng Sanaxe shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I know that there are a lot of craftsmen here, and they also make wine, and I don't dare to ask too much." I'll come back after buying something to eat, and I'll go into the city again tomorrow and ask what the hell is going on. ”
Feng Sanniang hummed and asked Feng Sanaxe to buy some beans next time he entered the city. Add material to that horse, otherwise it will be hungry and thin, and it will not be able to sell at a good price, Feng Sanaxe naturally agreed.
The two of them were about to go to bed when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, which was not urgent, but it was coming towards the river temple.
Feng San got up with a grunt. said: "It's so late, who can come?" He heard that there was only one horse outside, indicating that there was only one man.
"I guess I'm here to avoid the limelight!" Feng Sanniang also got up, she was a little scared, and pushed Feng Sanaxe to let him go out and have a look.
After dark, someone came to explain that it was not an official errand, and this one was not afraid of being arrested. But if they are also people who come to avoid the limelight, they must not be good people, don't look at the two husbands and wives are not good people, but they are afraid of being harmed by more fierce robbers, after all, they still have some property on them, in case they are blackened, there is no place to complain.
Feng San axed a case. walked to the door, opened the door and looked out, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned back and said, "It's the Song family brothers." The guy in the cart shop, you know. ”
Feng Sanniang listened, oh, quickly put on her clothes, and whispered: "Why is he here, but the horse can be sold?" Thank God, the old lady has to serve you again, and she has to serve the horse, and she is about to die of exhaustion, so sell it quickly and get the cash. ”
The guy had already arrived at the door, he took a deep breath, and thought: "The surname Feng, you committed your own case, you can go around by yourself, we usually don't have a deep friendship, even if I set you a trap, you are to blame, don't blame me!" Finding a psychological excuse for betraying his friends, he slowly arrived at the door.
Turning over and dismounting, the guy showed a smile and said, "Brother Feng, it's been hard these days, it's not comfortable to live in this river temple!" ”
Feng Sanaxe walked closer, took the reins of his man's horse, tied it to the tree at the entrance of the temple, and tied it to Xu Gaoyang's horse. He said: "How can there be a good home in this ghost place, you can freeze to death in the middle of the night, and your sister-in-law and I have suffered a lot of crimes!" ”
The guy looked at Xu Gaoyang's horse and thought, "It's all caused by this horse." ”
Feng Sanaxe let the man into the temple, and after closing the door, he asked, "Brother Song, why did you come here, but you found a buyer for that horse?" ”
Feng Sanniang also greeted her, accompanied by a smiling face, and said: "Brother Song, I haven't seen you for a long time, sister-in-law will boil hot water for you, there is nothing in this place, but I want to snub you." ”
The guy waved his hand and said, "You don't need to boil any water, I'll just leave after a few words." There is indeed someone who wants to buy a horse, that person is doing a business with no capital, I heard that he is going to the grassland, so he must buy a good horse, the shopkeeper has no good horses in his hands during this time, and you have one here. ”
Feng Sanaxe was overjoyed, it seems that this is an exclusive deal, only I have a good horse here, doesn't that mean that I can open a high price. He said: "That's, you also saw the horse outside the door, Brother Song, that's an absolutely good horse, running fast, even if it is put on the grassland, there are not many horses that run faster than it, riding it to do business without capital, then no one can catch up!" ”
Feng Sanniang also hurried over and exaggerated the horse outside the door. Both husband and wife were quite nervous and wanted to hear what the guy was willing to offer.
The guy smiled and said, "This business is very urgent, anyway, the shopkeeper is doing business, there is no one who is not in a hurry, you also know this." I hurried here, just to bring the horse back quickly, this price, sixty times, when you go home, go to the shopkeeper to get the money, how about it, this price is kind! ”
Feng Sanaxe and his wife immediately showed a look of disappointment on their faces, the horse outside the door was definitely more than sixty guan, one hundred and sixty guan was about the same, they had already seen it, if the horse was brought to the big city, I am afraid that two or three hundred guan could be sold, and the price of sixty guan was not kind, but too unkind.
Feng Sanniang couldn't bear it anymore and said: "If it's at this price, then we won't sell it, it's a big deal to take that horse to other places, and we don't ask how much we can sell it, but we all count on it for the rest of our lives." ”
The guy hummed, pretended to think for a while, and said, "This business is really urgent, if it is delayed for too long, I am afraid that the buyer will have to leave." Otherwise, if you are not afraid of hard work, then we will go back together, go now, and let the buyer see the horse when he goes back, if he thinks it is worth spending more, then you can make more money, but then again, our commission of one percent is half a child, you can do this deal, if you don't do it, pull it down, I don't care about running in vain. ”
Feng Sanaxe looked at his wife, Feng Sanniang was a little unhappy, she said: "We want to make more money, but we don't have to leave now, isn't it the same tomorrow, this midnight ......"
The man waved his hand, his face was full of impatience, and said: "If you are not in a hurry, I can run to you in a hurry, you are afraid of hard work, am I not afraid, I will tell you that the person who wants to buy a horse has more than a dozen lives on his back, and he does not dare to stay in the territory of Qiuzhou for a long time, otherwise he can be in such a hurry." Besides, you are not innocent in this Malay road, and you will get rid of it sooner or later. Why don't you do it? The shopkeeper is still waiting for my reply! ”
Feng Sanaxe was overjoyed in his heart, if the person who bought the horse was a giant thief, he must have money, how could he not buy this good horse, anyway, what if it was hard, wouldn't it be hard to live in this broken temple. He immediately nodded and said, ", why don't you do it, it's been hard for a few days, and you'll be happy for half a lifetime, let's go!" He turned his head and glanced at Feng Sanniang, and motioned for his wife to pack up her things.
Feng Sanniang reluctantly packed up her things, in fact, there was nothing to clean up, but after a while, she finished the package, and followed the guy and Feng Sanaxe out of the broken temple, and the two of them rode a horse together, and ran towards Qiuzhou with the guy.
After running for a distance, the guy looked back at the two of them and said, "Sister-in-law of the Feng family, are you very tired, you are shaking straight on the horse, there is no way to hurry!" ”
Feng Sanniang thought to herself: "At this time, you still say this kind of, don't you have to let us come out in the middle of the night, or you won't sleep in the middle of the night, you will be willing to come out!" ”
The man stopped his horse, looked around, then pointed into the distance, and said, "There is a merchant camp over there, and what I ate there when I came, let's go and rest for a while, and make a fire." However, let's say okay, we can only take a rest, we still have to hurry, and it is a moment to go back early, so as not to let me go back and be counted down by the shopkeeper. ”
The Feng family looked into the distance, and could vaguely see a fire in the distance, they didn't think much about it, since the guys said that they were businessmen and ate there, they had nothing to doubt, they could take a break, of course they were happy, and even Feng Sanniang had planned it, when they got there, they had to take a more rest, until dawn, she refused to hurry anymore, let the guys go in a hurry.
The three of them ran over there together.
By the fire, no one slept, everyone was waiting, in the middle of the night, the four fields were silent, and a little sound would be heard far away. Suddenly, someone said, "Someone is coming, two horses, from the west!" ”
Yang Ze stood up, looked west, and said, "Prepare, it must be that Feng San Axe who comes!" ”
The catchers jumped up together, and as officials who made a career out of arresting people, they were quite experienced, and under the cover of the night, they scattered and outflanked them.
It's just a moment of effort, the guy and Feng Sanaxe entered the encirclement, there are still more than ten zhang away from the fire, Feng Sanaxe is wrong, there are more than a dozen people on the side of the fire, there are actually people wearing official uniforms, they can't see clearly from a distance, but they are closer, whether they are businessmen or people in the government, how can they not see clearly!
Feng Sanaxe immediately understood what was going on, and shouted: "The surname is Song, you dare to betray Lao Tzu......" Before he finished shouting, a large number of catchers suddenly appeared in all directions, rushing to the two of them!
