Compared to the white horse, Han Yu was more concerned about the other twenty-seven horses.
They were from the Meng's horse farm. Horses of such quality were usually provided to the Meng's army. Outsiders couldn't buy them.
Now there were twenty-seven more horses, which made Han Yu feel a little uneasy.
So, Han Yu asked, "Do you know who the owner of these horses is?"
Jiang Pengji sneered. She never asked for the names of people she killed, and there was no need to. They were all dead anyway.
But she said, "I don't know. Do you know?"
Han Yu said with certainty, "This is a fine horse from the stable of the Meng's in Cangzhou. Only those with a high status in the Meng's army are qualified to own such a fine horse. Liu Langjun is in trouble …"
Jiang Pengji said carelessly, "Why? It's just a few animals carrying people. How can they kill people? "
Han Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He suddenly put on a serious face and said, "Not only will they kill people, but they will also implicate the whole family!"
Is it that serious?
Han Yu saw that she didn't believe him, so he explained the stakes to her very seriously, "Don't doubt me, Liu Langjun. There was a tragedy in Meng County in Cangzhou. Someone stole a horse belonging to the Meng's, and the whole family was involved. They were trampled to death on the horse farm."
"I didn't steal these horses. They came here by themselves." Jiang Pengji said seriously, "But what you said reminds me of one thing. These horses are indeed easy to get into trouble. I have to find a way to get rid of them as soon as possible."
Han Yu was speechless.
Jiang Pengji smiled coldly. "Langjun, you said that I'm a thief. Since I've already taken the blame, why don't I just sell all the horses and make some money?" No matter how angry the Meng's are, they have to find me first. "
Han Yu was alert and smart. He immediately understood why Jiang Pengji's attitude toward him had changed so much. He immediately apologized.
"You don't have to be so angry, Liu Langjun. I used that tragedy as an example to tell you to think twice before you act. The Meng family is powerful and arrogant. Ordinary people can't fight against them. I have no intention of slandering you for stealing …"
Jiang Pengji tightened her grip on the horse's belly and the white horse took two steps forward.
She said proudly, "It doesn't matter. Since I dared to accept these troublesome little fellows, I naturally have my own reasons."
Seeing her like this, Han Yu didn't continue to insist. Maybe she really had the right to be arrogant, and he would only annoy her if he tried to dissuade her.
The two of them had only met by chance, and there was a misunderstanding at the beginning. Naturally, there was nothing much to talk about, and they soon parted ways.
The livestream viewers felt that it was a pity. It was rare to see such a handsome, sunny boy. It would be a pity if they did not lick his boots for a while.
To avoid encountering people who knew about horses, Jiang Pengji took a shortcut and leisurely let the white horse carry her to the farm.
"Wow — what a big horse!"
"So high!"
The children in the village had never seen so many horses.
A bunch of naughty children came forward, their faces full of curiosity. Everyone wanted to reach out and touch the horse's hooves, but Jiang Pengji didn't allow it. War horses were hot-tempered. If they accidentally angered one of them, they would lose their lives if they were rewarded with a hoof.
"Langjun … Langjun … these …"
Jiang Pengji jumped off the horse. "Xiaoyu, you came just in time. Ask Coach Meng to bring the horses into the farm. Remember to tie them all up."
Xu Ke thought that was not the point!
The point was, didn't Langjun always say that he was very poor, and that he needed to be thrifty here and there, even to the extent of losing his mind?
So … where did he get the money to buy so many war horses?
Even though Xu Ke didn't know much about horses, he still had the basic insight.
He didn't know how good the horses were, but he knew that they were indeed excellent.
So … where did Langjun kill people and set fires? How did he get so many?
Xu Ke accidentally blurted out what was on his mind.
Jiang Pengji tilted her head and stared at him, which made his hair stand on end, as if he was going to explode in the next second.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Pengji just nodded seriously and said, "Xiaoyu, you know me best."
Xu Ke was dumbfounded.
The viewers in the livestream almost burst out laughing. Although he was not as handsome as Han Yu, Xu Ke was still very handsome.
"Langjun, you … really … killed people and set fires …"
Xu Ke didn't know how to react.
However, when he saw Jiang Pengji's half-smile, Xu Ke suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"I killed people, but I didn't set fires," Jiang Pengji said seriously and added, "Setting fire to the forest is a serious crime."
In Jiang Pengji's era, wood resources were scarce. Only the rich and the aristocratic families could afford pure wood furniture.
In order to protect the decreasing forest resources, the relevant regulations were introduced. Setting fire to the forest was a serious crime, and it could lead to death.
Xu Ke heard that and felt slightly relieved … No, he didn't set fire, so he couldn't kill people!
At that moment, he carefully counted the number of horses. Minus the one that belonged to his Langjun, there were 27 left.
27?
Thinking about the number and the killing that his Langjun said, he seemed to understand something.
"Anyway, I took them from the Meng's. It doesn't cost me anything." Jiang Pengji raised her hand and patted Xu Ke's shoulder. "But the horses raised by the Meng's have special marks. People who know horses can easily recognize them. This is going to be a problem."
Before Xu Ke could react, Jiang Pengji had already made a decision.
"Find a way to sell them. They can probably be worth a lot of money."
"Sell … sell … the horses …" Xu Ke's mind flashed with the approximate market value of the horses. Horses used for transportation were usually not cheap, and a horse like this was worth dozens of times more. "But, won't it be a pity …"
Men always had some characteristics that never changed, no matter what time it was.
For example, men in Jiang Pengji's era had a special love for mechas. Some people even joked that mechas were men's true love.
In this era, men seemed to be like this as well. They had a unique love for strong and healthy horses.
Jiang Pengji said, "I can keep them, but I don't think it's necessary. I killed those lackeys of the Meng's and only left one alive to report back … If they know that these horses are in my hands … "
Xu Ke was suddenly shocked and immediately sobered up.
He was still very rational when it came to his personal interests and interests.
"If that's the case, we'd better find a way to sell the horses as soon as possible. It's fine even if the price is lower. We can't keep them and cause trouble." Xu Ke had already started to calculate in his mind how much money and food the horses could bring them.
"Yes, but I don't know how to sell them. We'll need to find a slightly more professional person."
Jiang Pengji smiled. The Meng's were a jinx to others, but they seemed to be a blessing to her.
