I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 260 Investigation
"Well, you horse thief, where are you going?"

Just as the horse was in charge, he wanted to cry but had no tears, and didn't know what to do, a loud shout came in from outside the inn.

Ma Guanshi and Ning Laosan didn't react at all, and saw a figure rushing over, kicked Ma Guanshi over, and then directly tied Ma Guanshi's four feet like a pig with the belt he was holding in his hand. .

While tying them up, they were still cursing.

"Damn it, labor and capital are nothing more than a piece of shit, you old boy actually dared to steal the horse, how brave are you?"

Manager Ma was kicked dizzy and tied up by the men, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

Seeing this, Ning Laosan at the side immediately twitched his mouth, and looked outside the inn, where the horse steward turned over just now and looked over.

Seeing this, Ning Laosan couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

Manager Ma is really unlucky to drink cold water and stuff his teeth. This horse is obviously an official horse!
"Brother, please calm down.

I'm afraid there was some misunderstanding, this...horse steward probably didn't mean to steal your horse.

It's just a moment of impatience.

Look, do you want to sit down, have a cup of hot tea first, and warm yourself up before talking? "

After tying up Steward Ma, the visitor just sat on the ground and panted heavily.

It's not a big deal if the horse is lost, but there are important things right away!
However, now that the man was caught and the horse was outside, he was relieved.

Hearing Ning Laosan's words, the strong man like a black tower just glanced at him, then got up from the ground and walked towards his horse.

First, I checked the things, and everything was there, and then I really felt relieved.

Ma Guan had encountered such a thing in advance, and finally ran to the city, but the yamen didn't care.

Now that he was still tied up like a piglet, he suddenly felt sad and cried loudly.

"Fuck, you old boy, labor and management haven't beaten you yet, why are you howling?"

The brawny man entered the inn, and when he thought of running so fast that he didn't even have time to fasten his trouser belt, his heart became very angry.

He wanted to step up and kick Guanshi Ma a few times, and then carry him to the government, but Ning Laosan stepped forward and blocked him.

"Second brother, quickly bring over the hot tea and let this strong man have a good drink.

To tell you the truth, strong man, this horse steward really didn't mean to steal your horse.

Only because his owner's boat was robbed, he managed to swim for a long time in the river before escaping from the clutches of the water bandits.

After going ashore in panic, he saw the strong man's horse over there, so he thought about borrowing the horse and going to the city to report the crime.

This... It's really the fault of Manager Ma.

I also ask the strong man, seeing that he has difficulties, forgive him this time. "

Hearing the word water bandit, the brow and eyes of the strong man couldn't help but move.

"Where was his owner's ship hijacked?"

"White Water Crossing."

The strong man didn't know what to think, and his face darkened.

"Have you ever reported it to the government?"

"Hey... I have already reported it, but the government hasn't heard anything, just let us wait for the news."

Third Ning shook his head helplessly and replied.

"Damn it, what's the use of such an official who doesn't serve the people?"

The strong man punched hard on the table, causing the cup of tea brought by Wang Deyin to bounce on the spot, and most of the tea in it immediately spilled out.

"Strong men, please be careful, hey... I have nothing to do, thinking that the other party should be asking for money.

So, I thought about getting the goods on the carriage at a low price, and then each of them pooled some money to go to Baishuidu to redeem people. "

Ning Laosan said to the strong man with a sad face.

"I will go with you."

When the strong man heard that Ning Laosan was willing to offer money to redeem him, he glanced at him in surprise, and then said.

To his surprise, the horse thief's owner's boat was robbed, which this person kept saying before, so it had nothing to do with him at all.

Even if he knew each other, he was willing to put together all the money he had on his body to redeem him, then this person really listened to loyalty!
However, he wanted to go together, naturally not only because of Ning Laosan's loyalty.

For Ning Laosan, now that there is one more person, there will be more strength.

The strong man's skill when he rushed into the inn just now is extraordinary at first glance. If he accompanied him to redeem people, his chances of winning would be greatly increased.

Now, Ning Lao San is afraid that those water bandits will not show up.

"That's a good thing, I don't know what to call a strong man?"

Ning Laosan looked at the strong man with surprise on his face, and asked with his hands clasped.

"Just call me Tie Liu."

After finishing speaking, Tie Liu thought for a while, walked over, untied the belt that tied the horse steward, and tied it on himself again.

Then he snorted, and said while looking sideways at Guanshi Ma.

"Forget you to go far."

"Brother Tie Liu, how about we go to Baishuidu first?
I will leave it to my brothers here, try to exchange the goods for silver, and send them when the time comes. "

Hearing what Ning Laosan said, Tie Liu nodded and agreed.

The third brother Ning acted vigorously immediately, and called the fourth child and those people in the village to go together.

Leave Wang Deyin and the Shi family brothers behind, and exchange the goods in your hands for silver as soon as possible.

Even if you lose a little, you don't care.

A group of people got on their horses and quickly left the city.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the guards wanted to stop them, but when they took a closer look, they saw the imprint on the leading horse, and immediately pulled the people who were about to leave the city to the side, and then looked at the line. The man rode out of the city quickly.

"Brother Hong, should we tell the magistrate about this?"

"Shut up you, Hades is fighting, we little devils, just keep your heads down.

Remember, the magistrate of the county is changed every three years, we can stay here for generations!
Whoever offends, we all have to peel off the skin.

It's better to be blind, not knowing anything, not knowing anything. "

The city gate officer who was called Brother Hong glared at the person who came to whisper to him.

If it wasn't for his brother-in-law, he would have slapped him and stuck him to the city wall.

I've been following me here for so many days, yet I still can't figure it out.

From the county seat to Baishuidu, if you use a horse-drawn carriage, it will take at least half a day to get there.

But Ning Lao San and his group rushed to Baishuidu in about three hours.

It's just that, aside from the fact that it's raining today, there isn't even a leaf on Baishuidu.

All the ships that had been parked here before had disappeared without a trace.

Tie Liu, Ning Laosan and the others searched for traces along Baishuidu.

Finally, five miles upstream, there is a village.

From the looks of this village, there are only a dozen or so families.

When Tie Liu and Ning Laosan appeared, the people in the village immediately surrounded them, staring at them vigilantly, their faces full of defensive expressions.

"Old man, I want to ask, do you know where all the boats on Baishuidu went?"

Among those villagers, the leader was an old man with white hair, Ning Laosan asked politely.
