Chapter 1075: I Was Spotted Yesterday
Shu Yu was lost in thought when the attendant of Magistrate Yang next to her was already calling her, "Jun Lu Xiang, Jun Lu Xiang?"
When Shu Yu came back to his senses, he heard the follower say, "If you have anything to do with Mr. Lu Xiang, just let me know."
"Oh, yes, something really happened." Shu Yu turned around with a smile, glanced at the pale innkeeper and the group of middle-aged men who wanted to retreat, and said slowly, "I said before I just said that I wanted to report to the official, and just in time, two official officers came just now and asked me to wait a moment, I don’t know if I can report now.”
Master Wan's greeting made everyone present know that the girl in front of them was not a weak and easy target to be bullied. She was a local lord, someone who even the prefect spoke to in a friendly manner.
Not to mention the innkeeper and the middle-aged man who wanted to plot against her, even the two official servants who came over earlier to collect the money also changed their expressions.
They hurriedly stuffed the broken silver back into the middle-aged man, then walked to Shu Yu, cupped their hands and said, "Yes, Mr. Lu Xiang just said that he wanted to report to the official."
The entourage nodded, "In that case, why don't we go to the inn and talk slowly?"
"good."
Shu Yu took the lead and walked inside. After walking a few steps, he stopped and pointed at the middle-aged man who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape. "Don't leave. Let's let the government decide the case and see who is at fault." .”
"Hehe, hehe, Mr. Lu Xiang, you see this is all a misunderstanding." The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly.
The shopkeeper on the side also said hurriedly, "Lu Xiangjun, don't worry, your white horse was frightened, we will definitely compensate you."
Shu Yu looked at them funny, "Why, you want to compensate me now? Didn't you ask me to compensate you before?"
The two of them didn't dare to say anything.
But the attendant narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and said, "Okay, stop hanging around here, come in and talk."
Shu Yu took the lead to go in. Behind the middle-aged man stood two official servants. They couldn't leave even if they wanted to, so they had to follow him in.
There are already veterinarians in the yard treating injured mules and horses.
Since the veterinarian was there, Shu Yu happened to ask how the horse died and whether there were any traces of being kicked on its body.
The vet took a closer look and was sure there wasn't one.
In fact, the matter was not complicated. After all, the courtyard wall collapsed suddenly, and the middle-aged man suddenly thought of blackmailing Shu Yu, so the plan was not comprehensive and full of mistakes.
Soon, under the interrogation of the officials, several people explained clearly.
Shu Yu came early to take shelter from the rain yesterday, and Dabai also rested in the stable early.
The middle-aged men didn't arrive until the evening, and they saw Dabai at a glance. The horse was full of energy and its fur was shiny. Who wouldn't be greedy after seeing it?
The middle-aged man didn't think about taking the horse as his own at that time, but he just asked a few more questions out of curiosity.
This inquiry revealed that the owner of the white horse was a little girl, and she only had one maid with her. According to the shopkeeper, it's not like a local, maybe he ran away from home or something.
In short, they haven't left the house since they arrived at the inn yesterday. Even when they ate, they had the waiter deliver them to them. They looked a little shy.
The middle-aged man was thinking about asking Shu Yu to buy the white horse.
Unexpectedly, the accident happened suddenly. The courtyard wall collapsed in the morning. The middle-aged man was the first to rush over and saw the scene in the stable at a glance.
