Chapter 1603 Horse Thief
Chapter 1603 Horse Thief
Two shadows approached with a whirring sound, and they were actually running towards Huo Changhe's horse.
Huo Changhe's horse was indeed more majestic and taller than the others, with smooth fur.
Even in the dark, you can still tell it's a good horse.
But they also forgot that a good horse recognizes its master.
Especially since Huo Changhe's horse was a wild one, it took him a lot of effort to tame it.
Now the horse only recognizes Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu, and even if Yinding wants to ride it, he has to depend on its mood.
So, as soon as these two ignorant black shadows came close, one of them was kicked over by the horse's hoof before the reins could even be untied.
He rolled several meters and almost broke his bones.
"Oh my god~"
He uttered a low cry and covered his mouth again, afraid of alarming others.
But he had no choice but to let the horse neigh and prance restlessly.
It would be a bit unreasonable to pretend to be unconscious, so Huo Changhe opened his eyes, stood up, walked over and patted the horse's back gently.
Yinding rushed over and kicked the other black shadow to the ground.
In an instant, more than a dozen flashlight beams were aimed at the two horse thieves.
The two men had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that they became limp all over and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. They covered their eyes with their hands, unable to open them at all.
Huo Changhe waved his hand, and the flashlight beam killed about ten of them, and the rest shone all around, making everything bright.
Yinding walked forward, grabbed one of them by the collar, and slapped him in the face without saying a word.
The horse thief was already panicking and scared to death, and when he was beaten right away, he became even more terrified.
Before he was asked any questions, he started begging for mercy.
"My dear uncles, I won't dare to do it again. Please don't hit me. I won't dare to do it again."
Yinding said in a vicious tone: "Fuck you, don't you see who I am and where I come from? How dare you steal our boss's horse? Do you care about wealth but not your life?"
"I dare not, I dare not, big boss, spare my life."
They were murderous and looked dissatisfied. In the late night, they were all wearing ordinary tight clothes and had knives on their waists. In the eyes of the horse thieves, it was impossible to distinguish between soldiers and bandits. In addition, the silver ingots deliberately guided them, so they really believed it.
"Tell me, where are you from?"
"We, we are from Zhangjia Village in front. We are...poor and have no other choice. That's why we want to make some extra money."
Yinding hit him a few more times: "Get extra money, get extra money, I told you to get extra money."
Huo Changhe looked at the other man. After being kicked by the horse, he rolled out and had been lying there without moving.
With a glance, Xiang Guang signaled over, grabbed the man and threw him in front of Huo Changhe.
"Is what he said true?" Huo Changhe spoke slowly.
"...Yes." The man answered tremblingly.
Huo Changhe drew his sword and cut off a small tree next to him with one sword. The sword flashed and then rested on his shoulder.
"Yes or no?"
At the moment the tree was cut off, both of them were shocked and tears flowed.
"Spare your life, spare your life!"
Huo Changhe's voice came down from above their heads: "Tell the truth, you only have one chance, otherwise, I will chop you up and leave you here without anyone daring to stop you!"
"us……"
"We are really from Zhangjiazhuang, we are just villagers..."
As they were talking and kowtowing, suddenly a money bag fell out of the arms of one of them.
The purse was a little old, but it was made of good material, dark blue satin with embroidered patterns on it.
Yinding pointed the flashlight at the purse and saw clearly that there were three bamboo leaves embroidered on it.
The two men were wearing cloth clothes, which obviously did not match the purse.
What's more... Huo Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly, and Xiang Guang quickly picked up the purse and handed it to him.
Huo Changhe's heart trembled, and he held the money bag tightly: "Where did it come from?"
"This is my wife..."
Before he finished speaking, Huo Changhe swung his sword, a flash of blood appeared, and the horse thief who dropped the money bag was stabbed in the shoulder.
"Ah!" He screamed in pain, covering the wound with his hand, blood oozing out from between his fingers.
Huo Changhe waved his hand, went to the light and dragged away the other horse thief who was frightened and pale. He then took him to a rock not far away and knocked him out with a knife.
After a moment, he returned to Huo Changhe.
"Boss, I've killed that guy, what shall I do with his body?"
Huo Changhe said calmly: "Cut it into several pieces and throw it anywhere you like when you leave."
"Yes."
The horse thief who was hit by the sword almost fainted when he heard this. His legs were as soft as noodles and he couldn't even kneel.
Huo Changhe pointed the tip of his sword at him and said, "Speak."
Now he dared not tell another lie.
"We... are indeed from Zhangjia Village. A few days ago, a group passed by. We saw that they had a lot of people and were carrying a lot of stuff, so we... wanted to make some money. This bag of money was stolen by me."
Huo Changhe recognized that this purse belonged to Uncle Sima.
It should have belonged to the old prime minister before, or Uncle Sima mentioned it unintentionally. During the exile, the old father left behind not many things, just the good reputation accumulated by the Sima family in the past few decades. The officers escorting them tacitly allowed them to take this purse and some loose silver in it.
Before his death, his old father gave him the purse.
Although it is old, he has kept it with him for so many years and cherishes it very much.
There is absolutely no reason to give this purse to a horse thief.
"Besides this, what else did you steal?" Huo Changhe asked.
"The rest... is just some food," the horse thief replied.
Huo Changhe chuckled, his voice like it was soaked in ice: "Tell the truth."
"Take him away and chop him up."
The horse thief was so frightened that his face turned pale: "I said, I said, there are a few clothes and a bundle. I thought they were valuables, but they turned out to be a few books. The books are still in my house."
Huo Changhe looked down at him, without a single sympathy for his weakness and tears that shed as he collapsed.
"Who did you steal it with?"
"Just, just like the one who was killed just now."
"That team had 27 people in total," Huo Changhe said slowly, "You two were able to steal so many things. You are really capable."
"us……"
Huo Changhe continued, "Did you use any special means, or did someone help you? It's best to spit it out all at once, otherwise..."
Yinding assisted from the side: "Boss, there is no need to waste time talking to him. In my opinion, just chop him up, then go to his house and kill all the family members, including the chickens and ducks."
Xiang Guang agreed: "I think it's okay."
"That's the way to deal with this kind of bastard."
"I... No, don't, my friends, I did use some tricks. I threw some drugs into the fire where they were warming themselves, and took advantage of their sleep to succeed."
"Do you carry drugs with you all the time? It seems you have done this a lot, you deserve to die," Yinding stepped forward and raised his knife to kill.
"No, no, the drugs are not ours. Someone...someone gave them to us!"
"Who is it?"
