Daming King of Punishment

It turned out that the reason why this carriage was recognized by others as belonging to the Niu family was all because the horses pulling the cart had a pair of horns on their heads.

This is a very strange thing, the cow's horns are not ordinary horns, they are all polished very finely, with many patterns carved on them.

Although the front could not be seen clearly in the carriage, Song Wuya probably guessed it.

It's really a good thing that Master Niu thought of such a method, it really gave Song Wuya a lot of insight.

"Brother Wu Ya, this master Niu really has skills!" Bai Zhuo immediately smiled and shook his head when he saw the pair of horns.

It has to be said that such markers are probably rarely used by anyone.It is indeed rare enough, and it is precisely because of such a rareness that it is known to people.

"Stop, stop!"

While the two were talking, there was a scream from outside the carriage, and the carriage stopped slowly.

"My lord, this is the Niu family's car."

"I know I know, you come down."

It seems that they have reached the gate of the city. Niu Man has obviously never encountered such a thing, and he said to the officers and soldiers guarding the city in doubt.

The officer and soldier also knew that it was Niu's car, but they let him get off anyway.

"Today is a special case. The county magistrate has ordered that after today, all people and vehicles leaving the city, including Niu's house, must be carefully searched."

It seems that Yu Chun's efficiency is not too slow, after such a short time, the gate of the city has been strictly checked.

Niu Man was obviously a little embarrassed, lowered his voice and said to the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "Officer, the person sitting in this car is Mr. Song, the imperial envoy!"

"Master Song?" The officer and soldier guarding the city frowned, and immediately stepped forward to lift the curtain of the carriage.

This person was a familiar face, Song Wuya had seen it before, so naturally he recognized Song Wuya at a glance.Immediately hurriedly said: "Damn this subordinate, I didn't expect to startle Mr. Song's frame."

"It's okay, you've done a good job. All personnel and vehicles leaving the city should be checked carefully. Don't let any one go, even the official's car." Song Wuya didn't blame anything, and said something nice to the officer and soldier After that, he beckoned him to leave.

After such a commotion, they finally left the city.

As Niu Man said, they arrived at the racecourse not long after leaving the city.

This Niu family's horse farm is really magnificent, with high courtyard walls, judging from this courtyard wall, it is much better than ordinary people's manors.

"Niu Man, why are you here?"

When the person at the door saw Niu Man, he immediately asked a question.

Niu Man got out of the car and said hello to the man: "Master asked me to bring Mr. Song here to have a look."

With that said, Niu Man put down the stool and asked Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo to get out of the car.

As soon as they got out of the car, several servants of the Niu family at the door knelt down and saluted.

"Okay, get up, let's take a look inside." Song Wuya greeted them to get up, and walked towards the racecourse.

Entering the racecourse, I immediately saw the scene here.

There are no buildings inside. The walls are surrounded by horse sheds, and there are a few rooms, which should be used for people who guard the horse farm and store fodder.

And in the middle of this yard, it seems that horses are usually walking, and it is full of dirt. At this moment, several horses are rolling on it.

In addition, there are many carriages parked in the open space not far from the door.

"Is your carriage kept here on weekdays?"

Obviously, such a situation caught Song Wuya's attention.This is obviously not a normal thing. After all, there is plenty of rain here. If the carriage is left outside like this, the carriage will be more likely to break if it is exposed to the sun and rain, right?

"My lord, this carriage is usually placed in the shed. It's just that the carriage was exposed to rain a few days ago. Let them bask in the sun these few days, so as not to get damp and moldy, and then rot on the way." Niu Man followed Song Wuya and the others, explaining the problem to Song Wuya.

Song Wuya nodded, this answer is also reasonable.He didn't ask any more, but walked towards those vehicles, wanting to check the situation.

These vehicles look simple, but obviously the wood is good, not only that, but also painted on it, which shows that they are very important.

Song Wuya could see that there were still a lot of grains of salt in the car, which showed what they usually transported.

Seeing that Song Wuya had been staring at the carriages, and Niu Man beside him had a strange expression on his face, he glanced at Song Wuya, then turned his head to look at Bai Zhuo again, and said with a surprised expression: "Master Song , is there something wrong with these carriages?"

"Oh!" Song Wuya finally came to his senses, his long attention to the carriage made the Niu's people around him a little uneasy.He shook his head quickly: "No problem, I'm just curious, so I took a few more glances."

After saying this, Song Wuya looked away from the carriage.

I have to say, this horse farm is really good.It can be seen that Master Niu is also very concerned about this place, and the people who manage it are also attentive. Although the racecourse emits a burst of stench, everything in front of him looks clean and orderly.

After looking at the carriages in the yard, Song Wuya turned his attention to the horses again.The physique of these horses is good, and each of them is fat and strong. Judging from their size, these horses are actually not much different from the war horses on the battlefield.

"How many people are there in this racecourse?" Song Wuya asked again.

"On weekdays there are only a dozen or so people." Niu Man replied immediately.

In such a large racecourse, there are at least dozens of horses in it, and the people here seem to have different divisions of labor, but a dozen people seem to be too few.

Although he didn't know the specific situation, in Song Wuya's opinion, these people might not be enough.

Although he had such doubts in his heart, Song Wuya didn't ask too much about this question, it was an irrelevant matter after all.

"Speaking of which, there are a lot more people than the warehouse!" Song Wuya said casually after hearing this.

As soon as he said this, Niu Man immediately shook his head and denied it: "Master Song, what you said is wrong. There are nearly twice as many people in the warehouse as here!"

"Oh? Really? Since there are twice as many people in the warehouse as here, why did only five bodies be found in the fire after the warehouse caught fire?" Song Wuya said casually after hearing this.

He was very puzzled and skeptical that only five corpses were found in the fire scene in the warehouse.Such a large warehouse is by no means the only five people watching here.And these five people were all burned after being killed.But if this is the case, where did the other people go, and where are they now?

Originally, he wanted to ask Master Niu this question.It's not just that he hasn't seen this Master Niu much in the past few days, and Song Wuya is more worried that Master Niu will lie about this issue.

But it's different if they are servants. They also know everything about the Niu family on weekdays.So Song Wuya suddenly asked, they may not be able to hide the matter.

Sure enough, when Niu Man heard Song Wuya's question, his expression froze.

"This... I'm afraid I can't answer you, my lord!" Niu Man hesitated for a long time before finally shaking his head and did not answer this question.

Song Wuya originally thought that Niu Man would casually say something that surprised them, but he didn't expect this guy to keep silent.

Of course, Song Wuya didn't want to give up on this, he smiled slightly: "Looking at you like this, I can see that you must know the reason. You can speak boldly, even if you say those guys secretly dropped I don’t care about the warehouse, if I go out to drink, I will never mention it to Master Niu.”

"Really adults?" Hearing what Song Wuya said, Niu Man suddenly had a big change.
