Chapter 1001 Confession
The three of them jumped off the carriage and were confused when they saw so many people in the field. "How can we find him among so many people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted from a distance: "Brother Bai, Bai Erlang, over here, over here——"
The three of them hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and found a group of people standing not far away. Seven or eight of them surrounded Zhang Jinghao, who looked unhappy, and were waving to them excitedly.
The three of them were delighted when they saw him and immediately went to meet him. "Excuse me, excuse me, we got delayed by something before we left, so we're late. Did Master Zhang wait too long?"
Before Zhang Jinghao could answer, his classmate beside him said cheerfully, "We just got here too, so we didn't have to wait long."
He glanced at Zhang Jinghao and said with a half-smile, "It's a day off today. Brother Zhang probably slept late last night. He wasn't awake yet when we went to pick him up at his house. We were worried that you'd have to wait too long if you came early, but it just happened that we all arrived at the same time."
Bai Shan was surprised, "You guys went to pick someone up from home?"
The person next to Zhang Jinghao smiled and said, "Of course. We've been playing with Brother Zhang for such a long time. We should pay him a visit while we have some free time during the break."
What a joke! They treated Zhang Jinghao to meals for several days, but in the end they were cheated. It would be too unfair if they didn't find out what was going on.
Ever since Bai Shan went to the cafeteria for the second time and said those words to Zhang Jinghao, those who were originally a little angry that Zhang Jinghao looked down on them suddenly figured it out.
In particular, after asking around, I learned that Bai Erlang's right hand was bandaged after Zhang Jinghao took him out for a trip.
They were not stupid and guessed that Zhang Jinghao must have done something to anger Bai Shan, which was why he went through so much trouble to set a trap for Zhang Jinghao.
Although they seemed to have been tricked by Bai Shan, they were not really angry. For some reason, their anger was directed at Zhang Jinghao. Therefore, they wanted to know more about the conspiracy between Zhang Jinghao and this horse farm.
Then everyone discussed it and went to Zhang's house early in the morning to pick someone up.
Zhang Jinghao secretly found Bai Erlang yesterday, wanting to negotiate peace, but Bai Erlang pretended to be stupid and didn't understand, and rejected his white flag. So early this morning, Zhang Jinghao was in a headache and hesitated. Should he come or not?
If he comes, nothing good will be waiting for him.
If he doesn't come, and Bai Shanzhen makes trouble at his house, his grandfather will beat him to death.
While he was hesitating, these people made the decision for him and ran over to pick him up and take him away.
Zhang Jinghao stood silently among the crowd without saying a word.
Bai Shan looked around and said, "Master Zhang, where is the thousand-mile horse you introduced to my junior brother? Why don't we go and see the thousand-mile horse first?"
As they were talking, several carriages slowly stopped in front of them. Ren Ke and Qiao Tao jumped down from the carriages first. A carriage at the back that looked particularly familiar was also opened, and Yin Huo helped Changshou get out of the carriage.
Everyone was very surprised to see them.
No, he should be particularly surprised to see Yin Huo. Ren Ke and the others had been to the horse farm before, so there was nothing strange about him coming here. But why was Young Master Yin here?
Yin Huo walked straight towards them, and when he reached Bai Erlang, he asked with a smile, "Why, didn't you want to see the horses? Where are the horses?"
Everyone turned to look at Zhang Jinghao.
Zhang Jinghao wanted to die. He especially wanted to go back to the past and beat up the person who had chosen Bai Erlang.
Why on earth did he think that Bai Erlang was rootless and easy to bully, and that he was rich and stupid?
Zhang Jinghao looked around and saw Bai Erlang's classmates, several of his own classmates, and other students from the Imperial Academy. Walking a little further, they actually ran into several classmates from the Imperial Academy, including the very famous Feng Zongping.
With Feng Zongping and Yin Huo together, Zhang Jinghao became even more silent.
He led a group of people towards the horse farm. As he walked, he suddenly stopped, turned around and bowed deeply to Bai Erlang, "Bai Cheng, I'm really sorry. I lied to you last time."
Everyone looked at Zhang Jinghao in surprise, wondering why he suddenly gave in.
Zhang Jinghao stood up, and seeing Bai Erlang didn't respond, he bowed deeply again, his waist almost bent to his knees. It can be said that his apology was very sincere. He said with shame on his face, "Actually, the horse I want to sell you doesn't belong to a horse dealer, but to a friend of mine. He was a little short of money, and his horse was not bad, but the price was very low when he sent it to the stable. It just so happened that you wanted to buy a horse, so I thought of selling it to you under the pretext that he was a horse dealer. Yes, our offer was a bit high, it's our fault, and I hope the two Bai classmates will forgive us."
Everyone felt a little regretful when seeing this, as they could no longer enjoy the excitement.
It was wrong for Zhang Jinghao to lie, but he had already apologized, and Bai Erlang had not suffered any loss at the moment. Everyone thought he would forgive him, but who knew that he turned his head to look at Bai Shan and then stepped aside.
Bai Shan gave him an approving look, then stepped forward, stood in front of Zhang Jinghao, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, where is your friend? Could you please come out and let us meet him?"
Zhang Jinghao's face was filled with guilt. "This was my idea. I was wrong to cheat Mr. Bai out of his money. I'm willing to set up a table in Zhuangyuan Building to apologize to you all, but my friend knew nothing about this, and I was embarrassed to invite him over. I hope Mr. Bai will forgive me."
"But my junior brother said that he was the one who made the offer himself."
The people beside him couldn't help but ask, "How much did it cost?"
Before Bai Shan could say anything, Zhang Jinghao said with a shameful look on his face: "One thousand five hundred taels."
Everyone: ...They finally understood why Bai Shan was so angry. Did he think his money was free money?
One thousand five hundred taels. Usually, the horses their family bought cost only about one hundred taels. For a majestic horse, four or five hundred taels would be the maximum. They were not going to be generals on the battlefield, nor were they royal relatives or nobles. Why would they need a horse worth a thousand taels?
Everyone came to their senses. No wonder they gave him a discount of three hundred taels. Perhaps that horse...
Someone coughed lightly and asked, "What's the actual price of that horse?"
Zhang Jinghao didn't answer, but looked ashamed.
Bai Shan walked around him twice, and seeing that he was completely ashamed, with his body slightly hunched, he smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "A brave man cuts off his arm. Now I have to look up to Master Zhang a little."
"Mr. Bai, I sincerely repent..."
"But I'm not bothering you about this," Bai Shan said. "It's not about the thousand or so taels of silver. Although our Bai family is only a small landlord, we can still come up with a thousand or two. Every failure makes you wiser. At worst, we'll just beat you up like a sack after we're so angry."
