Chapter 70 Quarrel
”This is my horse.” Gu Houye said solemnly.
Gu Jiao looked at him suspiciously, as if judging the truth from what he said.
Gu Houye was trembling with the look in her eyes, suddenly remembered the wolf, and hurriedly said: ”I didn't throw it away, I accidentally lost it!”
Although you can pick up lost things, they must be returned if they are requested by the owner, otherwise it will constitute a crime of embezzlement.
The Zhou family and Liu family, who had picked up Xiao Qin Xianggong’s silver and refused to return it, suffered this loss. As a result, they were beaten at the Yamen and fined a large sum of silver.
Of course, Master Gu Hou did not know the oolong of Gu’s family, but he felt that a little girl should be able to bluff him: “If you don’t return it to me, you will be arrested by the county grandfather to play a board!”
The country folks may have never heard of Lord Hou, but they must know the Grand Lord of the county.
The grandfather of the county is a real local snake, and no countryman is not afraid of it!
Gu Jiao heard what he said, but didn't immediately refute it.
Master Gu Hou feels there is something to play!
In the next second, he heard her ask him: ”How do you prove that this is your horse?”
Gu Houye was taken aback.
Yes, how to prove it?
In order to travel low-key, instead of riding in his own sweaty BMW, he chose a guard horse. Even the emblem of the Hou Mansion on the saddle was deliberately erased by him.
”Horseshoes! This is the horseshoes in the army, and it is different from the horseshoes on the market.” Gu Houye finally thought of a piece of evidence.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jiao said, “I haven’t seen other horseshoes. How do I know if it’s your own words?”
Gu Houye choked.
This is when a talented person meets a soldier, it is unreasonable!
Gu Jiao said fairly and impartially: ”Otherwise, you go to the Yamen to report the case. If the county grandfather says that the horse is yours, then I will return the horse to you.”
The grandfather of the county has a few heads, dare you not sentence the horse to him? But the problem is, his dignified capital Ding Anhou went to a small county government to report the crime?
What's wrong, is he lacking a horse in Ding'an? How poor is he? Too poor to open the pot, or too poor to beg on the street, and actually compete with a country girl for the horse she picked up on the way?
Especially an ordinary horse that is not very expensive.
He doesn’t want face?
Gu Jiao glanced at him, and said for a moment: “If you really want it, I can sell it to you. Alas, it’s not easy for me to get it back.”
Where is it not easy for you? Isn't it carrying you this way? You don’t even have the energy to walk! The wolf does not need to carry it by himself!
Master Gu Hou was really half-dead by Gu Jiao.
However, he really couldn't walk anymore.
He can only hire a carriage when he arrives in the town, and at least twenty or thirty miles from here to the town, he is afraid that he will not be able to walk if his leg is broken.
”Fifty taels.” Gu Jiao said.
Gu Houye exploded his hair: ”How can a broken horse be more expensive than a wolf? You are sitting on the ground and starting the price!”
Gu Jiao said solemnly: ”Wolves are not what you just need, horses are.”
is just needed, you have to sit on the floor and start the price!
Master Gu Hou was so angry that his liver hurts!
Finally, Gu Houye bought his horse back for fifty taels of silver.
