Chapter 60: scheming
Murong Guiying's move cleverly resolved Bao Zheng's crisis. She pulled Dong Xianxian into Cui Weiju's name, but Liu Jiwu would not be able to threaten Bao Zheng with Dong Xianxian, unless he wanted to openly go against Longhutang.
Liu Jiwu smiled coldly on his face and said, "Madam Yang! Since this girl is from Cui Weiju, how can I, a younger generation, have the courage to challenge Cui Weiju's majesty? But General Yang is in the midst of the sun, and that girl is Mrs. Yang's disciple. She killed my horse, but there is no place to reason!"
Liu Jiwu's words led Murong Guiying to the army, but in his words he accused Murong Guiying of relying on the power of her husband Yang Wenguang to oppress him.
Kou Zhun walked over slowly at this time and said, "Commander Liu Jun, Mr. Ding! Today, you all the young masters from the capital have come to my door. There is no reason not to invite you to the inner hall for tea, otherwise your father would laugh at me for no reason."
Kou Zhunzhi showed a leisurely and calm expression, not affected by Liu Jiwu's arrogant and domineering manner. He stretched out his hand and showed an invitation.
The young man in white who had just interrupted, folded his folding fan in his hand and said, "Mr. Kou! Today we are just wandering here, but we don't want to alarm Lord Kou. I hope Lord Kou will be willing to accept it. As for drinking tea, I don't need to. I, Ding Zaixin, have always heard that Lord Kou is just, but today I have to make a conclusion for our younger generations. Otherwise, Brother Liu would have lost 100,000 taels of silver in vain!"
Kou Zhun pretended to walk towards the horse's body, while marveling: "It's indeed a group of good horses, full of carbon red, without any slight variegated color, tall and handsome, and strong bones. This horse should be worth more than 100,000 taels."
Liu Jiwu's mouth smiled and said, "Mr. Kou is right, this horse is the best among horses, it is a priceless treasure."
Kou Zhun said: "A horse of this precious one is worth at least 500,000 yuan. If it is beaten to death, it will be even more valuable. The one who causes the trouble will have to pay at least 1 million taels."
Liu Jiwu was surprised when he heard Kou Zhun's words. Not only did Kou Zhun not excuse Dong Xianxian, but he also kept raising the value of this horse, looking like he wanted to help him. Could it be that there was a fraud?
Bao Zheng was on the side but his heart was clear, and he sighed that Jiang was still old. Kou Zhun invited you into the trap with this trick, but Liu Jiwu jumped into the trap without realizing it.
Liu Jiwu showed a cautious look on his face, but he looked at Ding Zaixin with a wink. Bao Zheng saw at a glance that Ding Zaixin, dressed in white, was obviously Liu Jiwu's think tank. It seemed that this person must be his strong enemy in the future.
Ding Zaixin frowned and immediately said, "Mr. Kou! This horse is very valuable. I think Mr. Kou should have a clear conclusion. Whoever beats him to death should be asked to compensate her, but she should not tolerate her just because she has a backstage!"
Kou Zhun laughed and said, "Of course I have to be severely punished, but I, Kou Zhun, also understand the horse. There are three injuries on this horse, one on the right abdomen. It was obviously beaten by the girl, but the horse's neck was strangled. It foamed at the mouth, obviously suffocating to death. A rib on his left abdomen was kicked with someone to break a rib. From this, it seems that this horse was not killed by the girl, but she was responsible for hurting the horse, but she did not hurt her muscles and bones. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, it should be sentenced to pay the owner of the animal to two cents of money. Everything I said was a bunch of witnesses." After Kou Zhun finished speaking, he clapped his hands and suddenly gathered about forty masters here around. Bao Zheng couldn't help but be amazed that these people should be the people who were hiding in the dark just now.
Dong Xianxian's affairs were resolved by Kou Zhun in a few words. Kou Zhun did not stop, but he changed his words: "But just now, Mr. Liu and Mr. Ding said that this horse is worth 500,000! This is extremely inappropriate. I think that I have achieved peace in the Song Dynasty. Even the current emperor has been able to live in civil and military skills in my life, but I have not been able to ride such a valuable horse. The Liu Shangshu's family is indeed quite rich in collections. If you can own such a good horse, you are really rich enough to compete with the country!"
As soon as Kou Zhun's words came out, Liu Jiwu was sweating profusely. Liu Jiwu was determined to use a dead horse to mow Bao Zheng, but unexpectedly, Kou Zhun caught him in a fatal hole.
Bao Zheng knew that in the Northern Song Dynasty, one tael of silver was equivalent to a coin of one tael of copper coins, but the market price was much higher. Often one tael of silver could be exchanged for 1,600 ci. The Northern Song Dynasty's economy was prosperous, but the tax revenue was not heavy. The annual tax revenue of the Song Dynasty was only 60 million cigarettes! It was only about 40 million cigarettes in silver. Liu Jiwu's "" worth 500,000 cigarettes was really shocking. If Liu Jiwu dared to continue to say that the horse was of such value, I was afraid that his father would be in a black veil.
Liu Jiwu's forehead was sweating, but his mind was turning very quickly. He thought about the interests clearly and immediately smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Kou, don't take it seriously. This horse is actually an ordinary person. Just now, Mr. Ding and Zaixia were just joking. This horse is only worth five taels at most. We just saw that the girl was good at skill and had the idea of making friends, so we took a question to get close to him. Lord Kou should not take it to heart! My horse seems to be very sick, but I didn't expect that she would die by the girl gently pushing her. Since that's the case, we should go back first. I have someone cleaned up the body of the horse to prevent it from being dirty at the door of Lord Kou's house."
After Liu Jiwu finished speaking, he asked a group of servants to clean up quickly. After a moment, the group of servants pulled a big cart, but dragged the horse onto the cart. Liu Jiwu immediately left with a group of people in disgrace.
Bao Zheng saw Liu Jiwu and his party walking away, stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Kou, Mrs. Yang, Fairy Jingzhen was lucky that you came out to rescue the situation just now, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with it."
Murong Guiying smiled and said, "Bao Zheng is a righteous person, so how can he be the opponent of the evil villain? The white-clothed scholar Ding Zaixin brought by Liu Jiwu is the new prince who is in charge of Ding Wei, the subordinate of the Secretariat. Although Ding Zaixin is young, he has long been famous in the capital and is known as Little Zhuge. Liu Jiwu is born with divine power and has won the martial arts jury. He has a nickname for the little bully in the capital. It is not uncommon for Bao Zheng to suffer losses today. But he doesn't know why these two people are targeting Bao Zheng you! Could it be that you have a holiday with them?"
Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "When talking about this holiday, I'm talking about it for a long time! I'm afraid it's hard to explain it in just a few words."
Kou Zhun smiled and said, "Since it's a long story, why not go to the mansion to talk in detail. The prince is also in the mansion at this time, but he is talking about Bao Zheng you every day."
Bao Zheng nodded immediately, Kou Zhun took the lead and walked into the courtyard with everyone. After a while, he had already arrived at the living room of Kou Zhun's house. Before Bao Zheng entered the living room, a young man came up to him. He hurriedly said, "Bao Zheng, you are considered to be in the capital! I have many things to ask you to help me."
The young man was the prince Zhao Zhen. At this time, there were two people behind him, one was Chen Shuangxue, and the other was a middle-aged eunuch dressed in eunuch. He was seen as fatter. Although he was peaceful on his body, it made Bao Zheng feel a dangerous aura, and he seemed to have endless power to erupt. Although Bao Zheng had not seen him take action, he already felt that his kung fu was probably not inferior to Murong Guiying.
