Da Song Private Investigator

After listening to Hwarang's words, Wen Meng realized that things were not as simple as she thought.

She was a little nervous, and asked quickly: "Then what should we do next?"

Hwarang shrugged: "What do you mean, now that the cow has been killed, if someone reports it, I'm afraid we will have to be in trouble."

"Then... then there is no other way?"

Hwarang pondered for a while, and felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he asked: "How could anyone buy cattle in such a bustling West Market? The Song Dynasty prohibited the sale of cattle. Whether it is killing cattle or selling cattle, it is illegal. How did you buy the cow?"

When Hwarang said this, Wen Meng also felt that something was a little strange, so he told what happened after Hwarang left today.

"Not long after you left today, an inn clerk came to say that someone wanted to sell a cow, and asked me if I wanted it. At that time, I knew that I couldn't kill a cow, so I didn't think about it, but the cow seller said, His family’s land was gone, and the family owed the debt again, and now they desperately need money to pay off the debt, so I thought of the cattle seller. I saw that the cattle seller was pitiful, so I paid for it and sold it for several taels of silver. Woolen cloth!"

After listening to Wen Meng's narration, Hwarang was sure that the cow seller might be trying to frame them.

Now Ziqidonglai's business is booming, and they have divided up the business of several nearby inns. They must be very upset, so they thought it was extremely possible to frame Ziqidonglai inn by selling cattle.

After Hua Lang said his thoughts, Wen Meng was a little dumbfounded, while Hua Wan'er quickly asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"

Hualang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Based on my calculations, in a short time, someone must go to the government office to report the case, saying that our Ziqi Donglai Inn committed suicide privately, and the government government should punish us severely..." Hualang's words have not yet come After finishing speaking, Wen Meng snorted immediately: "How dare they? Why don't they just kill a cow!"

"This statement is wrong. After my investigation, this Li Jingan is very law-abiding and wise. Even if we were the ones who killed the cow, he would never be merciful. It is a blessing for the people in Song Dynasty to have such an official. How can we make it difficult for him?"

"Then what should I do!" Wen Meng was a little angry, she didn't expect that she would fall on a cow.

At this time, Hwarang smiled: "Don't worry, I have a way to solve this matter."

As he said that, Hwarang led people to the slaughterhouse behind. At this time, Cheng Bo had already peeled off the cowhide and was about to dry it for sale. But when Hualang saw the cowhide, he immediately said to Cheng Bo: The cowhide is taken to the kitchen and burned, and not a single hair can be left!"

Cheng Bo didn't know why, so he said with some regret: "My lord, this cowhide is very valuable, at least worth a penny, so it's such a pity to burn it like this?"

"Burn it, even if it is worth more money. Also, after the cowhide is burned, all the meat from the cow is shaved off, and the bones are boiled in a pot. After boiling, the soup remains and the bones are disposed of. Not a single scum is left."

Cheng Bo still doesn't understand what Hwarang is going to do, but even if he doesn't understand, he will do what Hwarang said, because Hwarang is not only the savior of their father and daughter, but also someone he admires.

Wen Meng didn't understand what Hwarang was going to do, but she saw Cheng Bo's movements were a little slow, so she immediately called a few more people, of course, these people were cronies.

It wasn't until the evening that the whole cow was cleaned up, the hide was burnt, the bones were buried, and the beef was cut into pieces according to Hwarang's instructions and marinated in the jar.

In this way, after last night, Hwarang felt a little relieved.

In the early morning of the next day, not long after Hua Lang and the others got up, Li Jingan led the servants and knocked on Hua Lang's door. Of course, Li Jingan was followed by a reporter who was a neighbor near the inn.

After the door, Hualang cupped his hands to Li Jingan and said, "So it's Lord Li, please, are you here to eat hot pot? This hot pot tastes very good, but it's easy to get angry if you eat it in the morning, so it's better to eat it at noon... "Although Hwarang understood the purpose of Li Jingan's trip, that's what he wanted to say.

Li Jingan's face was ugly, and he said after a long time: "Hua...you guys, we didn't come here to eat hot pot, but... someone reported that you killed a cow yesterday, and you should know about it, sir. The Song Dynasty banned the slaughter of cattle, so this..."

When Cheng Bo saw the yamen servant, he was already in a panic, and he became even more nervous when he heard that it was an investigation into the slaughter of cattle. However, he saw that Li Jingan seemed to be very respectful to Hua Lang, which made him very puzzled.

But at this time, Hwarang suddenly smiled slightly: "It turns out that Master Li came to me for this matter. Master Li, this is really nonsense. As the special envoy appointed by the emperor to investigate the case, how could I do something that knows the law and violates the law?" I must have heard of Master Li, when Bao Zheng and Brother Bao and I solved the cow tongue case in Tianchang County. one thing?"

Hearing Hualang mention Bao Zheng's name, Cheng Bo was even more surprised, not only Cheng Bo was surprised, even the neighbor who went to the government office to report the case was also surprised, now Bao Zheng is the governor of Kaifeng, it is Bao Qingtian, no one knows who People don't know, this Hwarang does not call Bao Zheng, Master Bao, but Bao Qingtian, but Brother Bao, the relationship between the two of them is definitely not normal, and just now Hwarang said that he is the emperor's special envoy to investigate the case, how can this be done casually? said?

The neighbor only thought that Hwarang was a business leader, but he didn't expect that Hwarang had such a relationship with the government. He really wished he could bump his head to death here.

Therefore, before Li Jingan had time to ask the neighbor, the man suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Lord Li, it's all the villain's fault. The villain heard the screams here yesterday, which faintly sound like It’s the barking of a cow, but there’s nothing related to cows in this slaughterhouse, I guess the villain got it wrong, so please punish me.”

This person is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, Li Jingan looked at Hua Lang with a smile and asked, "Young Master Hua, what do you think should be done with this person?"

"Let him go back!"

"put it back?"

"Master Li also heard it just now. He said that he heard wrongly, and now he is willing to repent. Don't we have to make things difficult for him, as long as he doesn't get wrong again in the future!"

Hearing Hua Lang's words, Li Jingan nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, since Young Master Hua has said so, then do it this way."

Seeing that Hua Lang had forgiven him, the man felt even more guilty. After thanking him again and again, he withdrew; but he was so scared that he didn't even dare to say a lot of things he had thought about before. The cattle seller confessed, and then he went to Ziqi Donglai Inn to find the cattle, but after thinking about it carefully, it was better to forget it.

"Since Mr. Li is here, stay for lunch. I'll ask the chef to cook hot pot for you today!" After the man withdrew, Hua Lang looked at Li Jingan and said with a smile.
