The fake daughter of a book, the villain who was humiliated ascended the throne

Chapter 46: The Haunting

Shu Xin looked at Xiao Beiwang beside her, frowning and feeling very depressed.

I didn't expect that after so much trouble to get into the city for supplies, I would have to go the same way with him.

It’s so haunting!

Xiao Beiwang had already noticed Shu Xin's expression. He touched his nose and showed no expression on his face.

However, Qian San, a police officer who had been following them and staring at them, felt a little uncomfortable and hurried forward to explain.

"Miss Tao, Brother Xiao made great efforts in this matter. Therefore, Boss Du allowed him to enter the city for supplies."

Qian San is older than Du Changchun and is an experienced man, so he is smooth and worldly-wise.

This time, he was specially sent by Du Changchun to keep an eye on Shu Xin and Xiao Beiwang. Du Changchun instructed him to bring the two back safely.

Qian San was afraid that the two would have an unhappy argument and delay their return, so he hurried out to smooth things over.

This time, Wu Zhiyong was also sent by Du Changchun.

Because of what happened a few days ago, Wu Zhiyong was severely punished by his uncle Du Changchun.

Not only was he beaten with a stick, but he was also fined money.

He hated Shuxin in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about her.

Therefore, when he saw Shuxin, his butt felt even more painful.

Seeing Shuxin showing such an expression, I suddenly felt unhappy.

"Some people have no self-awareness at all. Who do they think they are? They want to control everything. Tsk tsk."

Wu Zhiyong crossed his arms, his eyes full of sarcasm, and glanced at Shuxin as he spoke.

Shu Xin sneered and imitated Wu Zhiyong's tone.

"Some people are just thick-skinned. They don't learn their lesson even after being beaten. Tsk tsk."

"Who are you calling thick-skinned?"

"Whoever answers is the one who is talking!"

Shuxin refused to give in and directly responded.

Wu Zhiyong was so angry that he wanted to jump up, like a fighting cock.

Qian San hurried to persuade them.

Xiao Beiwang did not sit idly by, but while trying to persuade Wu Zhiyong, he firmly clamped Wu Zhiyong's arm.

Wu Zhiyong struggled but failed to break free.

He instantly went out like a dud.

Seeing that the two of them had stopped making a fuss, Qian San finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them entered the city one after another.

As soon as he entered the city, Shuxin wanted to go to the carriage and horse shop first.

Her cow was frightened and ran away a long distance.

Although he was finally found, he died within two days.

Shu Xin didn't dare to keep the dead cow for food, so he just dug a hole and buried it properly.

At this moment, she was thinking of going to see the horse or the donkey first.

Of course, a horse-drawn carriage is the best, but it is not only expensive, but good horses are also hard to find.

Donkeys, on the other hand, are more suitable for traveling long distances than cows, are faster than ox carts, and are relatively cheaper.

Qian San received Du Changchun's order to keep an eye on Shu Xin and the other two, and was also responsible for purchasing.

The officers brought horses with them this time, but because of the wolf attack, their horses either ran away or died, and two of them were killed.

We should also take this opportunity to go into the city to buy supplies.

After they agreed, they headed straight for the carriage and horse company.

As soon as the four of them entered, a broker came to greet them.

The other party claimed that his surname was Wang and he was a native of Yuzhou Prefecture.

Upon learning that Shuxin and the others were going on a long journey, Wang Yaren took the four of them to see the carriage first.

Yuzhou Prefecture is located in the north-central part of the Daxuan Dynasty and is the largest transportation fortress between the north and the south.

This carriage and horse business is the largest in Yuzhou Prefecture. It has many varieties of horses and their quality is also good.

But because of the good quality, the price is also high.

An ordinary horse costs nearly thirty taels of silver, not to mention a horse of good quality.

Some horses from the Hu people outside the Great Wall and the northern Di were even priced directly at one hundred taels.

Although Shu Xin had enough money, she still had to plan her spending carefully as she had a lot of things to buy this time.

Besides, you can't be too ostentatious.

Therefore, after looking for a long time, I couldn't find anything suitable.

So, Shuxin decided to ask the courier to take her to see the donkey.

Compared to horses, donkeys are much more affordable.

A better donkey can be bought for twenty taels.

Just as Shuxin was about to leave, a horse in the corner caught her attention.

The horse was dark red in color and skinny.

I don’t know what disease he had, but most of his hair fell off.

Looks extremely listless.

But the horse also saw Shuxin. It glanced at Shuxin, and its eyes seemed to have spirituality.

Shuxin immediately became interested in the horse.

Shuxin looked at the horse and stood still.

The Wang Ya man was very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that Shuxin was interested, he quickly stepped forward to introduce her.

"Young lady, you are obviously a connoisseur. This horse is a fine one from the Northern Di. It can travel a thousand miles a day."

The Wangya people boasted about how good the horse was.

Shu Xin curled her lips in disbelief.

Xiao Beiwang on the side looked at the broker and sneered.

"Your horse is obviously sick, we don't want it!"

His eyes were cold, as if he could see into people's hearts at once.

The Wang Ya man shrank back and stopped talking with an embarrassed look.

In fact, this horse is indeed a good steed from Beidi, but for some reason, it has been suffering from diarrhea since it came here. After several months of suffering, it has become skinny and most of its hair has fallen off.

Because of this reason, the horse could not be sold and was about to become a loss in the hands, so the owner of the carriage and horse business made a statement.

If the horse is sold, the carriage and horse agency will only take 50% of the selling fee, and the rest will be regarded as hard-earned money for the dealer.

In the past, when selling horses in carriage and horse shops, the dealer could only take 30% of the profit at most. This 50% is really a lot.

Therefore, Wang Ya gave Shu Xin such a positive recommendation.

Although the quality of this horse cannot be sold at a high price.

But no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat.

More importantly, the local merchants all knew the inside story and it was difficult to sell the horse in the city.

But the group of people who came today said they had a long journey, so the broker thought it would be just right to sell it to Shuxin and the others.

This is treating Shuxin and the others as fat sheep.

Shu Xin was very upset when she saw Xiao Beiwang actually said that.

I want to buy a horse, why should he butt in?

However, Xiao Beiwang gave her a cold glance and signaled to her with his eyes to leave now.

Although Shu Xin was confused, she immediately understood when she saw Wang Ya's painful expression.

"You are so dishonest. I won't buy this horse!"

Shuxin said quickly.

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Wang Yaren sighed and quickly stopped Shuxin.

"Girl, let's talk it over. Everything can be discussed, right?"

He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Autumn is approaching and the weather is getting colder.
