Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 91 The visitor is evil

The big yellow horse was startled and immediately jumped up.

Shen Heng was unable to react in time and fell off the horse. The sheep heads and offal in the basket were scattered all over the ground and rolled in the sand.

Fortunately, Ah Zhu's father was right next to the door, and he subconsciously stepped forward to catch it with his hand, preventing Shen Heng from hitting his head on the ground.

Shen Zhao and his mother were shocked and angry, and ran out quickly. Seeing that Shen Heng was not injured, they quickly grabbed the woman who was trying to escape.

"Who are you? Why did you harm my son?" Zhang Shanyue slapped the woman a few times, grabbed her collar and asked.

The tattered woman struggled desperately, shouting, "The Shen family is beating people! Help!"

"You're still shouting for help?" Zhang Shanyue slapped her a few more times. "My son almost broke his neck because of you, and you still dare to accuse me of beating him?"

At this time, several people gathered around, led by a woman with thin lips and high cheekbones. She said to the people around her, "Look, the Shen family is really overbearing. They bully poor people without saying a word. Don't you guys do anything about it?"

"Who is bullying others? Are you blind and can't you see that she almost killed my brother?" Shen Zhao recognized that this woman was Gao Qiuqiu, and the men around her were not from this place.

Gao Qiuqiu curled his lips and sneered: "I didn't see anything, I just saw you guys started beating people up first."

Shen Zhao was about to say something, but Zhang Shanyue stopped her in time and whispered, "Ah Zhao, don't talk nonsense with this kind of woman. Go home first. A Niang is here."

My daughter is still an unmarried sister-in-law, so I cannot argue with such a shameless old woman under any circumstances.

Ah Zhu Niang also came out of the tofu workshop and stood beside Zhang Shanyue with several other women. She pointed at Gao Qiuqiu and angrily cursed: "What a shameless whore! Why are you everywhere?"

Gao Qiuqiu sneered: "Don't be so arrogant. The Shen family is suspected of stealing horses. We are just here to find stolen goods."

As he said this, he winked at the woman in tattered clothes.

The tattered woman reacted immediately and shouted, "Yes, yes! My horse was stolen. This morning I learned that it was at Shen's house, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect it to be at Shen's house. They even beat people up."

Shen Heng had recovered from his shock and sneered, "Who told you that my horse is yours? Are you trying to blackmail me?"

"It's mine!" The woman felt that she had the support of Gao Qiuqiu and several other village officials from Yulixiang, so she patted her chest and said, "If you don't believe me, go ask my neighbors. My horse is just this big yellow horse!"

She was so sure in her words that even Shen Heng and his mother were a little surprised.

Shen Zhao said, "There are many yellow horses in the world. Are they all yours?"

"Then how do you prove that this horse was not stolen?" a village official next to Gao Qiuqiu asked coldly.

Shen Zhao looked over and saw that he looked similar to Gao Qiuqiu, so he guessed that this person was the village headman surnamed Gao and the elder brother of Captain Gao.

It turns out that he comes with bad intentions.

"I have a certificate for buying a horse!" Shen Heng took out a piece of wood from his arms and showed it to everyone: "I just bought a horse at the market yesterday. There is a document for passing the watch signed by the market clerk. You can all see it clearly!"

"Let me see it." Gao Sefu reached out to take it.

Shen Zhao pushed his second brother's hand back and said, "You can watch it if you want. Wait for the three elders and the village headman to come and watch it together."

Then he bowed to Ah Zhu's father and said, "Please ask uncle to invite the three elders and the stingy man of our village. I want to confront this person. If she dares to falsely accuse my family, I will file a complaint with the county government to make her go to jail!"

"Okay! I'll go and ask the three elders to come over right away!" A Zhudie agreed and ran towards the township office.

The tattered woman suddenly became nervous and looked at Gao Qiuqiu in panic. Her family did have a yellow horse, which was a war horse raised for the garrison, but it died suddenly last month, and the garrison asked her family for 5,000 coins in compensation.

The already poor family was hit even harder, and now they didn't even have enough food to eat.

Gao Qiuqiu gave her a soothing look and pulled his cousin's arm: "Brother, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? Someone just lost a horse yesterday, and today the Shen family has an identical one. Isn't this very strange?"

Mr. Gao said nothing, but just looked around the Shen family's house and yard.

After a while, several township officials from Anle Township came hurriedly, bowed to the people from Yuli Township, and asked Shen Zhao and his sister, "What happened?"

Shen Zhao stepped forward and told the whole story: "Just now, a strange woman falsely accused my family of buying a horse that belonged to her, and she almost caused my brother's death."

She asked her second brother to hand over the deed and registration of the horse to the third elder: "Please take a look, this is the deed we used to buy the horse yesterday."

The third elder took it, looked at it, and nodded: "It is indeed a certificate for purchasing a horse."

Gao Sefu stretched out his hand again: "Let me see."

The three elders looked at him and saw that he had his hand stretched out, so they had no choice but to hand the deed to him.

Gao Sefu glanced at it briefly and said in a cold voice, "This contract is fake." As he spoke, he was about to break it.

Shen Zhao and his second brother had already noticed his movements and immediately stepped forward to snatch it back.

"You want to destroy my horse purchase contract?" Shen Zhao raised the wooden piece in his hand and showed it to the surroundings: "Look, neighbors, this is my family's horse purchase contract, and Mr. Gao actually wants to destroy it in public! I just want to ask you, does Gao Ting still have the law in his heart?"

"No!" A Zhu Niang and others echoed loudly!

The three elders of Anle Township were also annoyed by Gao Sefu's behavior and shouted, "Gao Ting, why did you deliberately damage the contract when I showed it to you? You are also a village official, but you did such a foolish thing. It is really shameful!"

Gao Ting's face turned red, but he still argued: "This contract is fake. If it is left in the hands of the villagers, it may cause trouble."

"We can check whether it is true or not, won't we know?" Shen Zhao said, "We bought the horse in Xixiang, and the Xixiang clerk must have another deed in his hands."

The three elders of Anle Township said to the village treasurer: "Go to Xixiang to check. If there is any, send the slanderer to the county jail."

When the ragged woman heard this, she became anxious and turned around and ran away without caring about Gao Qiuqiu's attempt to stop her.

"Want to run away?" Ah Zhu Niang grabbed her and pulled her hair and said, "You are a person who left your hometown, and you dare to come to our Anle Township to blackmail people. You are very brave!"

Several women also rushed forward and slapped the woman wildly.

They are not only protecting the Shen family, but also playing for Gao Qiuqiu to see.

She was a woman who had left her hometown to marry, and she had been making trouble in Yanze time and again, either framing others or stirring up trouble, and she had never done anything serious all day.

If I ever buy a cow, horse, sheep or pig, and then am falsely accused of theft by this woman, wouldn't that be frustrating?

"Stop hitting me! Wuuuuuu, I'm just possessed by a ghost." The woman cried, and in the end she didn't dare to say that it was Gao Qiuqiu who ordered this.

She is from Yuli Township and will have to live there in the future. She would never offend the Gao family.
