Chapter two hundred and fifty trapping
Since he worked for the shopkeeper, he has always been a good helper for the shopkeeper, doing business selling stolen goods. He has done a lot of things like looking for people in the Heshen Temple before, and he has long been familiar with it.
Because of the special nature of Zhenxi County, thieves who have committed trouble in Qiuzhou like to come here to avoid the limelight. It is impossible for thieves to hand over the stolen goods they have obtained to others, such as those who handed them to the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper to sell them. This is generally not the case.
Instead, the shopkeeper is responsible for finding the buyer, then notifying them, they will trade it in person, or directly sell the stolen goods to the shopkeeper at a low price, and then the shopkeeper sells it himself. However, the latter situation rarely happens. After all, the thieves do things that are lost in their heads, and no one wants to give the money they have obtained from hard work, and if others are cheap, they can still get a little more.
Feng Sanfu didn't want to sell a good horse at a low price. After he ran out of his house with his wife, he rode his horse to the Heshen Temple. He really hoped to sell the horse at a good price. After all, he took a lot of risks. If he didn't get a little bit more, he would be sorry for himself. He didn't worry about anything waiting in the Heshen Temple these days. Although he would occasionally worry about the fact that he really killed an official, his life was pretty good overall. He thought about Feng Sanniang's wealthy life every day, and he was very comfortable.
That night, the couple ate the barbecue cakes sold from Zhenxi County, and lay on the table together to prepare to go to bed. It was cold and their quilts were thin and they tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Feng Sanniang couldn't help complaining: "When will this day be the end? How long will we stay in this ghost place? Could it be that we will never go home?"
"Oh, isn't this a way to avoid the limelight? I haven't avoided it before. I will go back in a few days." Feng Sanfu sighed and said, "However, I went into the city these days and found that the people in the city are living a good life. They are much richer than before. Otherwise, we will move to the west of this town in the future!"
Feng Sanniang exclaimed and said, "Isn't this place so poor that it's so poor? Why did you suddenly become rich?"
Feng Sanfu shook his head and said, "I don't know this. I just know that there are many craftsmen here, and they also make wine, and I dare not ask about too many. I bought food and came back. I will enter the city again tomorrow and ask clearly what's going on."
Feng Sanniang nodded and asked Feng Sanfu to buy some beans when he entered the city next time. Add food to the horse, otherwise he would lose weight and would not be able to sell it for a good price. Feng Sanfu naturally agreed.
The two of them were about to go to bed when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside. The sound of hooves was not fast, but they were coming towards the River Temple.
Feng Sanfu got up and said, "It's so late, who can come?" He heard that there was only one horse outside, which meant that there was only one person.
"I guess she is here to avoid the limelight!" Madam Feng San also got up. She was a little scared and pushed Feng Sanxun and asked him to go out and take a look.
After dark, someone came to say that they were not an official, and they were not afraid of being caught. But if they were also a person who came to avoid the limelight, they must be not a good person. Although they were not good people, they were afraid of being harmed by even more fierce robbers. After all, they were still a bit of money on them. If they were traitors, they would have no place to complain.
Feng Sanfu got out of the divine case. He walked to the door, opened the door and looked out, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around and said, "It's the Song brothers. The guy in the big car shop, you recognize it."
Feng Sanniang heard this and quickly put on her clothes. She whispered: "Why is he here? But can the horse be sold? Thank God, I have to serve you and the horse again. I am almost exhausted. Sell it quickly. Just get the cash."
The guy had already arrived at the door. He took a deep breath and thought to himself: "My man surnamed Feng, you should take care of the case you committed by yourself. We don't have much deep friendship. Even if I have a trap for you, you will blame me. Don't blame me!" He made a psychological excuse for his friend to betray himself, and he slowly arrived at the door.
After turning over and dismounting, the guy smiled and said, "Brother Feng, thank you for your hard work these days. It's uncomfortable to live in this River Temple!"
Feng Sanfu walked closer, took the reins of his friend, tied them to the tree at the entrance of the temple, and tied them with Xu Gaoyang's horse. He said, "There is no good family in this ghost place. I can freeze to death in the middle of the night. Your sister-in-law and I have suffered a lot of injuries!"
The guy looked at Xu Gaoyang's horse and thought to himself: "It's all caused by this horse."
Feng Sanfu let his servant into the temple, closed the door, and asked, "Brother Song, why are you here? But have you found a buyer for that horse?"
Feng Sanniang also came up and smiled and said, "Brother Song, long time no see. Sister-in-law will burn you hot water now. There is nothing in this place, but you will be neglected."
The guy waved his hand and said, "No need to burn water, I'll leave after saying a few words. It's true that someone wants to buy a horse. The man is doing a business that is not cash-free. I heard that he is going to the grassland, so he must buy a good horse. The shopkeeper didn't have any good horses in his hand during this period, so you only have one here."
Feng Sanfu was overjoyed. It seemed that this was an exclusive deal. Only I had good horses here. Doesn’t that mean I could offer a high price? He said, “That’s right, Brother Song, you saw the horse outside the door. It was an absolutely good horse. It ran very fast. Even if it was placed on the grassland, there were not many horses faster than it. If you rode it to do business without capital, no one would catch up!”
Feng Sanniang also hurried over and praised the horse outside the door. Both of them were very nervous and wanted to hear what price the guy was willing to pay.
The guy smiled and said, "This business is quite urgent. Anyway, the shopkeeper's business is not in a hurry. You know this. I hurried here just to take the horse back quickly. It's just that, it's 60 guan. When you get home, go to the shopkeeper's money. How about it? This price is quite generous!"
Feng Sanfu and his wife immediately showed disappointment on their faces. The horse outside the door was definitely more than 60 stakes, and 160 stakes were about the same. They had long seen that if the horse was brought to a big city, it would probably be sold for 200 stakes. The price of 60 stakes was not kind, but too unkind.
Feng Sanniang couldn't bear it and said, "If it's this price, then we won't sell it. At worst, we can take the horse to another place, and we don't want to sell more, but we will all rely on it for the rest of our life's pension money."
The guy nodded, pretended to think for a while, and said, "This business is indeed very urgent. If it takes too long, the buyer will leave. Otherwise, if you are not afraid of hard work, then we will go back together and leave now. After going back, let the buyer see this horse. If he thinks it is worth spending more money, then you can make more money. But then, we have to say that, half a cent of our commission is not missing. If you want to do this business, you will do it, and if you don't do it, you will lose it. I don't care about running for nothing."
Feng Sanfu looked at his wife. Feng Sanmao 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? It's midnight..."
The man waved his hand, his face full of impatientness, and said, "If I don't have to hurry, would I have to run to you? Are you afraid of hard work? I'm not afraid? I will tell you clearly that the person who wants to buy a horse carries more than ten lives and dare not stay in the territory of Qiuzhou for too long, otherwise would he be so anxious? Besides, your horse is not innocent, so you can get rid of your hands sooner or better. Do you do it? The shopkeeper is still waiting for me to reply to the letter!"
Feng Sanfu was overjoyed. If the person who bought the horse was a giant thief, he would definitely have money. After seeing this good horse, how could he not buy it? Anyway, what if he worked harder? Isn't it hard to live in this dilapidated temple? He nodded immediately and said, "Why don't you do it? Thank you for your hard work these few days, have fun for half your life. Let's go now!" He turned to wink at Feng Sanniang and signaled his wife to pack up his things.
Madam Feng San was reluctant to pack up her things, but there was nothing to clean up. In just a moment, she packed up the package and followed her husband and Feng Sanfu out of the ruined temple. The couple rode together and ran towards Qiuzhou with her husband.
After running for a while, the guy looked back at the couple and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, are you very tired? You are shaking it right away. There is no way to go!"
Feng Sanniang thought to herself: "Are you still saying such nonsense at this time? Didn't you insist on letting us come out in the middle of the night? Otherwise, if we don't sleep in the middle of the night, you think we are willing to come out!"
The guy stopped his horse, looked around, then pointed to the distance, and said, "There are shopping malls there. When I came, I ate there. Let's go and take a break and roast the fire. However, we agreed that we could only take a break, and we still had to hurry. We could go back for a moment, so as not to be scolded by the shopkeeper."
The Feng couple looked away and could see a vague fire in the distance. They didn't think much about it. Since the guy said he was a businessman and still ate there, they had nothing to doubt. Of course they could have a rest. Feng Sanniang even planned to take a rest. When she got there, she had to rest for a while. She refused to rush the way until dawn, so let the guy go in a hurry.
The three of them ran over there together.
There was no one sleeping beside the fire, everyone was waiting. In the middle of the night, the fields were silent, and a little sound would be heard far away. Suddenly, someone said, "Someone is here, two horses, from the west!"
Yang Ze stood up, looked west, and said, "Prepare, Feng Sanfu must be here!"
The constables jumped up together, and as officials who were professions to arrest people, they were quite experienced. They scattered around under the cover of the night and surrounded them.
In just a moment, the friend and Feng Sanfu entered the encirclement, which was more than ten feet away from the fire. Feng Sanfu found something was wrong. There were more than a dozen people next to the fire, and some people were wearing official uniforms. They couldn't see clearly when they were far away, but they were close. Is it a businessman or a person in the government? How could it be that I couldn't see clearly!
