Chapter 1075 I was already eyeing it yesterday

Shu Yu was lost in thought when the attendant of Prefect Yang beside her was already calling her, "Lord Lu, Lord Lu?"

Shu Yu snapped out of his daze and heard the attendant say, "If Lord Lu has any matters to discuss, please just tell me."

"Oh, right, there really is something." Shu Yu turned around with a smile, glanced at the innkeeper who was already pale and the group of middle-aged men who wanted to back away, and slowly said, "I said earlier that I was going to report to the authorities. Just now, two officers came and asked me to wait a moment. I don't know if I can report it now."

Lord Wan's greeting made everyone present realize that the young lady in front of them was not a weak and vulnerable person to be bullied; she was a local magistrate, someone even the prefect spoke to with kindness and gentleness.

Not to mention the innkeeper and the middle-aged man who wanted to scheme against her, even the two officials who had come over earlier to collect her loose change of heart.

They hurriedly stuffed the loose silver back into the middle-aged man's hands, then walked up to Shu Yu, cupped their hands, and said, "Yes, Lord Lu did indeed say he wanted to report to the authorities."

The attendant nodded. "In that case, why don't we go to the inn and talk about it in detail?"

"good."

Shu Yu led the way inside, but stopped after a few steps. She pointed at the middle-aged man who was trying to slip away and said, "Don't go! Let's let the authorities investigate this case properly and see who's at fault."

"Heh, heh heh, Mr. Lu, you see, this is all a misunderstanding." The middle-aged man laughed awkwardly.

The shopkeeper beside him hurriedly said, "Lord Lu, don't worry, your white horse was frightened, we will definitely compensate you."

Shu Yu looked at them with amusement, "What, are you going to compensate me now? Didn't you want me to compensate you before?"

The two remained silent.

The attendant narrowed his eyes and raised his hand, saying, "Alright, stop standing around and come in to talk."

Shu Yu went in first. Behind the middle-aged man stood two government officials, so he couldn't leave and had to follow him in.

There was already a veterinarian in the yard treating the injured mules and horses.

Since the veterinarian was there, Shu Yu could ask how the horse died and if there were any kick marks on its body.

The veterinarian examined it carefully and was certain that it wasn't there.

The matter was actually not complicated. After all, the courtyard wall collapsed suddenly, and the middle-aged man only thought of swindling Shu Yu on the spur of the moment. Therefore, his plan was not well thought out and was full of mistakes.

Soon, under the interrogation of the officials, the men confessed everything clearly.

Shu Yu came early yesterday to avoid the rain, and Da Bai also rested in the stable early.

The middle-aged men didn't arrive until evening. They spotted Big White immediately. The horse was spirited and its coat was shiny and glossy. Who wouldn't be envious?

The middle-aged man didn't intend to possess the horse at the time; he was just curious and asked a few more questions.

Upon inquiring, they learned that the white horse's owner was a young girl, accompanied only by a maid. According to the innkeeper, she didn't seem to be a local; she might have run away from home or something.

In short, they haven't left the inn since they arrived yesterday. They even have the waiter bring them their meals. They seem a bit shy.

The middle-aged man was wondering if he could ask Shu Yu to buy the white horse.

Who knew the accident would happen so suddenly? The courtyard wall collapsed in the morning, and the middle-aged man was the first to rush over and saw the scene in the stable at a glance.
