Under the temporary coachman Li Er's carriage, the black Dayuan horse that was worth no money dragged the carriage and slowly stopped outside the Savant's Restaurant inn.
At this moment, there were not many people outside and inside the inn. Everyone had gone to Chongxian Lane.
The innkeeper was leaning against the counter with his head lowered, calculating on an abacus.
"Shopkeeper, I'm here." Yang Hao jumped off the carriage and strode into the inn. He patted the innkeeper's shoulder and said with a smile,""Where's my Ferghana Horse?"
"What horse?" the inn owner asked blankly.”
"Ferghana Stallion," Yang Hao said.
"Hanxue what?" The inn owner said with a stunned expression.
"Ferghana Stallion." Yang Jingming walked in at the right time. He thought that the innkeeper didn't hear him clearly and said patiently.
"Treasure what?" The inn owner scratched his head.”
Yang Jingming was speechless.
Li Yuan was speechless.
Li Er was speechless.
Yang Hao looked at him. At this moment, even a fool could see that the inn owner was pretending to be confused. He asked,"I say, shop owner, don't you think you can take my Ferghana Horse?”
"I'm a shop owner and a gambler. Why would I do that kind of thing?”The inn owner shook his head and looked at Yang Hao. He said seriously,
"But the problem is, I've never even heard of this Ferghana Horse you're talking about. You're called Yang Hao, right? I investigated your family's background yesterday. Putting everything else aside, even if your family has a Ferghana Horse, with your family's situation, you can't even afford three meals a day for you and your father, let alone the high-quality fodder for a Ferghana Horse.”
"I'll give you a choice now." The inn owner smiled and raised a finger."
"No matter what, your father is the head of this year's county examination. I also want to bask in the joy. I'll give you a hundred taels of gold. If you find out anything, you and your father will have to bear the consequences!”
"A hundred gold taels?" Yang Hao smiled and walked to the counter to snatch the abacus from his hand. He lowered his head and tapped on it as he said,
"Shopkeeper, you are really 'magnanimous'. Did those examinees and scholars who joined in the fun place a lot of bets on you? This year's county examination was different from previous years. Other than my father, who was the top candidate on the list, the other two counties '215 people all failed.”
"This also means that you, the banker who opened the betting table, won this year. That money would probably be more than 300 Ferghana Horses.”Yang Hao tilted his head and looked at the innkeeper who could not hide the smile on his face. His fingers gently knocked on the counter and said,
"Now, as a gambler, you're not going to admit it after seeing how much I won? Putting aside the fact that the Ferghana Stallion refused to admit that it had swallowed my Ferghana Stallion, now that he took out a hundred taels of gold, was he going to use it to send off a beggar?”
The innkeeper's smile disappeared. With a cold face, he snatched the abacus from Yang Hao's hand and slammed it on the counter. He snorted coldly,
"I'm not sending a beggar away. I'm sending you and your son away! One hundred taels of gold, do you want it or not? If you don't want it, don't even think about taking a copper from me! If you know what's good for you, get lost. Otherwise, when you meet the authorities later, you and your father will have to bear the consequences!”
"Then report it to the authorities." Yang Hao sneered." I really have no choice but to report this matter to the authorities. I want to see how strong your backing is. You even dare to swallow my Ferghana Horse!"”
"Yes, report it to the officials!" Yang Jingming was furious. With a righteous look, he glared at the innkeeper and said,"Let me tell you, we'll go to court today. No matter what, I'm the head of this year's county examination. I don't believe that any official would dare to protect you!!”
You're just a county chief examiner, so what! The inn owner couldn't help but laugh. He was merely a county chief examiner and had only passed the first threshold of the imperial examination. Did he really think that he was so capable?
"You father and son are really not afraid of the immensity of heaven and earth!”The innkeeper crossed his arms and said with disdain,""People like you who have no background, can you afford to go to the county government…"
Without waiting for the inn owner to finish, the old man with a purple hairstyle walked up to him with a straight face, swung his arm, and slapped him on the head.
Pa!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the inn.
Under the stunned gazes of the surroundings and the dumbfounded expression of the inn owner, the old man scolded with a straight face,"If you want to report it to the authorities, report it to the authorities. If you can't bear to part with these legs, I'll send someone to help you call that official you mentioned!”
