Chapter 1072 He's taken a liking to Da Bai
Shu Yu squinted at the coachman in front of her.
She didn't believe him; his eyes darted around when he spoke, clearly indicating he was lying.
but……
Shu Yu looked at the reins in her hand; there were indeed signs of tearing, as if they had been violently broken.
But Da Bai was personally cared for by Shu Yu and Ying Xi, and the two of them were very meticulous towards Da Bai. In addition, since this concerned their own safety, the quality of the reins was naturally the best, and they had just checked it yesterday. There was nothing wrong with the rope, and it shouldn't break after struggling for a while.
This was a setup.
Shu Yu glanced at the coachman, then looked at the group of middle-aged men in front of her.
The group had formed a circle, surrounding her and Ying Xi in the middle.
Shu Yu sneered, "So what do you want? For me to pay compensation?"
The middle-aged man frowned, but shook his head. "No need. The collapse of the courtyard wall was the inn's fault. We will talk to the manager about compensation."
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "So..."
“But our two horses have been with us brothers all the way, and we have a deep bond with them. We are very saddened by their death. Most importantly, our horses originally had a chance to escape, but they were killed by your white horse. We are not asking you for compensation. We just want you to leave the white horse behind and do with it as you see fit.”
Shu Yu suddenly realized, good heavens, this guy had his eye on her Da Bai, and seeing that the two girls were easy to bully, he wanted to extort money from them.
She looked at the innkeeper again, but he turned his face away and refused to look at her.
Shu Yu understood. One of them had his eye on her white horse, while the other didn't want to pay more compensation. They hit it off and started plotting against her, right?
It seems that reasoning with them won't work, and it's a waste of time and energy.
Since that's the case, then...
"Report it to the authorities."
Everyone present gasped in surprise.
The shopkeeper and the middle-aged man's expressions clearly changed.
Shu Yu raised her head and laughed, "I don't admit that my white horse kicked your horse. I now have reason to suspect that you are trying to extort money from me by spreading rumors and causing trouble. I also suspect that the shopkeeper doesn't want to compensate me and simply had the groom give false testimony to make me the scapegoat. I am a weak woman, and I can't beat you in a fight. I have no help when I'm out and about. So I can only report this to the authorities."
Someone in the crowd quickly said, "Young lady, reporting to the authorities is not a good idea. Going to the government office will be very expensive. You should talk to them again."
Shu Yu turned her head and smiled at the crowd, saying, "No, I want to report this to the authorities. The officials are there to uphold justice for the people. I believe the government will clear my name. We should have faith in the government and the court."
The others, "..."
The middle-aged man had no intention of reporting to the authorities, so he frowned and said, "Why go to all this trouble, young lady? We just need to deal with this white horse."
"No way. You said you have a deep bond with those two horses, and my Da Bai and I have been together for over ten years. Do you think I'm such a heartless person to just hand them over to you like that?"
Yingxi silently lowered her head. "Miss, Da Bai hasn't even shown you any affection after just over ten days."
The middle-aged man was also taken aback. This white horse looked like it had just come of age. How could it be a horse that was over ten years old?
"Alright, everyone move aside, I'm going to report this to the authorities."
After Shu Yu finished speaking, she led the horse out. The middle-aged man's expression turned serious, and he exchanged a glance with the person behind him.
The people behind them swarmed around, seemingly about to grab it by force.
