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

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

Hua Lang shrugged: "What do you say, now that the cow has been killed, if someone reports it, I'm afraid we will have to trouble somewhat." ”

"That'...... Then there is no other way? ”

Hua Lang pondered slightly, he felt that this matter was a little strange, so he asked: "In such a lively West Market, how can anyone buy cattle, the Song Dynasty forbade the sale of cattle, whether it is killing cattle and selling cattle, it is illegal, how did you buy cattle?" ”

When Hua Lang said this, Wen Meng also felt that things were a little strange, so he told him what happened after Hua Lang left today.

"Not long after you left today, an innkeeper came to say that someone wanted to sell the cow, and asked me if I wanted it, and I knew that I couldn't kill the cow, so I didn't think about it, but the cow seller said that his land was gone, and the family owed debts, and now he was in great need of silver to pay off the debt, so I remembered the cow seller, and I saw that the cow seller was pitiful, so I gave money to sell it, and spent a few taels of silver!"

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

Now that Ziqi Donglai's business is very hot, and the business of several nearby inns has been divided, they must be very angry in their hearts, so they think that it is very possible to frame Ziqi Donglai Inn by selling cattle.

After Hua Lang said his thoughts, Wen Meng was a little dumbfounded, and Hua Wan'er hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what should we do now?" ”

Hua Lang was silent for a moment, and then said: "According to my calculations, it won't be long before someone will go to the government to report the case, saying that our Purple Qi Donglai Inn has committed suicide and wants the government to severely punish us......" Before Hua Lang's words were finished, Wen Meng immediately snorted coldly: "They dare?" Why don't you just kill a cow! ”

"This is wrong, after my investigation, this Li Jing'an is law-abiding, and wise and foolish, even if it is us who kill the cow, he will never tolerate it, the Great Song Dynasty has such an official, it is a blessing for the people, how can we make it difficult for him?"

"What should I do?" Wen Meng was a little angry, she didn't expect that she had planted herself on a cow.

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

At this time, Cheng Bo had already peeled off the cowhide and was about to dry it for sale, but after Hualang saw the cowhide, he immediately said to Cheng Bo: "Take the cowhide to the kitchen and burn it, not a single hair can be left!" ”

Cheng Bo didn't know why, and said with some pity: "Childe, this cowhide is very valuable, at least it's worth the same money, isn't it a pity to burn it like this?" ”

"It's burned, no matter how much it's worth it, and after the cowhide is burned, all the meat on the cow is shaved off, and the bones are boiled in a pot, and after boiling, the soup is left, and the bones are disposed of, and there is no residue left."

Cheng Bo still doesn't understand what Hua Lang is going to do, but even if he doesn't understand, he will do what Hua Lang says, because Hua Lang is not only the life-saving benefactor of their father and daughter, but also the person he admires.

Wen Meng didn't understand what Hua Lang was going to do, but she saw that 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, the hides were burned, the bones were buried, and the beef was cut into pieces and marinated in the jar according to Hanarang's instructions.

In this way, after last night, Hanalang was a little relieved.

Early the next morning, not long after Hua Lang and the others got up, Li Jingan knocked on Hua Lang's door with the officials, of course, there was also a person who reported the case with Li Jing'an, and the person who reported the crime was a neighbor near the inn.

After the door, Hua Lang arched his hand to Li Jing'an and said: "It turned out to be Lord Li, please, are you here to eat hot pot, this hot pot tastes very good, but it is easy to get hot in the morning, it is better to wait until noon to eat......" Although Hua Lang understood the purpose of Li Jing'an's trip, he just wanted to say so.

Li Jing'an's face was ugly, and he spoke after a long time: "Flower ...... Dude, we're not here to eat hot pot, but to ...... But someone reported that you killed a cow here yesterday, and the playboy should also know that the Great Song Dynasty forbade the killing of cattle, so this ......"

When Cheng Bo saw the servant, he was already very panicked, and when he heard that it was an investigation into the killing of cattle, he became even more nervous, but he saw that Li Jingan seemed to be very respectful to Hualang, which made him very unintelligible.

And at this time, Hua Lang suddenly smiled slightly: "It turns out that Lord Li came to me for this matter, Lord Li, this is really nothing, as the emperor's special envoy for the investigation of the case, how could I do something that knows the law and violates the law?" Presumably Master Li has also heard that when I broke a bull tongue case with Bao Zheng and Brother Bao in Tianchang County, I know the law of the Song Dynasty very well, how could it be that it is illegal to kill a cow by name, and still do this crime? ”

Hearing Hua Lang say Bao Zheng's name, Cheng Bo was even more surprised, not only Cheng Bo was surprised, but even the neighbor who went to the government to report the case was also surprised, now Bao Zheng is Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Bao Qingtian, who doesn't know, this Hua Lang doesn't call Bao Zheng Bao Lord Bao Qingtian but calls Brother Bao, the relationship between the two of them must be unusual, and just now Hua Lang also said that he was the emperor's special envoy for the investigation of the case, how can this be said casually?

The neighbor only thought that this Hua Lang was a businessman, but he didn't expect Hua Lang to have such a relationship with the government, and he really hated to die here.

Therefore, before Li Jingan could ask the neighbor, the man had suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master Li, it's all the villain's fault, the villain heard a burst of screams here yesterday, and it faintly sounded like a cow barking, but now there is nothing related to cattle in this slaughterhouse, I think the villain heard it wrong, and please punish the adult." ”

This person is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, Li Jingan looked at Hua Lang with some embarrassment and smiled, and then asked, "Dude, what do you say this person should do?" ”

"Let him go!"

"Put it back?"

"Master Li also heard it just now, he said that he heard it wrong, and now he is willing to repent, do we still have to embarrass him, as long as he doesn't hear it wrong again in the future!"

Hearing Hua Lang's words, Li Jingan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, since the playboys have said so, then do it." ”

When the man saw that Hua Lang had forgiven himself, he felt even more guilty, and after thanking him again and again, he withdrew; And he was so scared that he didn't even dare to say a lot of things that he had thought about before, and he still wanted to confess the people who sold the cattle yesterday, and then look for the cattle at the Ziqi Donglai Inn, but if you think about it carefully, it's better to forget it.

"Since Master Li is here, stay for lunch, and I'll ask the chef to make you hot pot to eat today!" After the man withdrew, Hua Lang looked at Li Jing'an and smiled.
