Chapter 0048: A Murder
Unexpectedly, after Hua Hu heard this, he waved his hand again and again and said: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, so that Jun misunderstood." The subordinates only have admiration for Miss Xiaofan, and they definitely don't have the slightest thought. ”
Han Zhan's face showed a surprised expression, he originally thought that Hua Hu, as the "soil emperor" in Sheguo County, should have done a lot of this kind of bullying of men and women, but he didn't expect that in the face of such a stunning appearance, he could actually sit still and not mess up, which really made Han Zhan feel a little incredible.
After seeing Han Zhan's reaction, Hua Hu explained with a wry smile: "Don't look at this little girl, she is as beautiful as a flower, but her temperament is extremely strong. Once, when she came here to deliver fish, a disciple wanted to tease her, but without saying a word, she grabbed a boning knife and slapped it on the face of the disciple. Since then, no one has dared to have any evil thoughts about her. ”
"But I've just seen that she's quite kind," Rob interjected, "how can she be as tough as you say when she sees everyone smiling?" ”
Huahu snorted: "She is a thorny rose, she looks beautiful, whoever wants to pick it will be pricked." He turned to Han Zhan and continued, "As far as I know, the people who went to her house to propose marriage kicked off the threshold of her house a few times, but none of them could make her look at them. ”
In fact, when he saw Xiao Fan for the first time, Han Zhan was shocked, although he traveled back and forth between China and Europe all the year round in his later life, and saw countless beauties from various countries, he still felt that a beauty like Xiao Fan who "came out of hibiscus and naturally carved it" was better; As for Zhen Mi, who invited Zhao Yun to propose, although she will be a stunning beauty who will captivate the country and the city in the future, she is still an eight-year-old little Lori at the moment, and she has not fully grown up, and she can't be compared with Xiao Fan for the time being.
At this moment, when I heard Huahu say that Xiaofan, who was twenty-eight years old, was still unmarried by Yun Ying, he couldn't help but feel excited. He asked tentatively: "Hua Zhushu, I don't know who Xiaofan's surname is, where he lives, and who else is in the family?" ”
"Xiaofan's surname is Fan's name, his family sits on the bank of the Zhangshui River, and there is an old father at home." Hua Hu knew the situation of Xiao Fan's family well, and when he saw that Han Zhan wanted to know about Xiao Fan's family's life experience, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Father and daughter depend on each other for their lives, and they make a living by fishing......
Han Zhan understood that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so after learning about Xiaofan's situation from Huahu, he diverted the topic: "By the way, Master Hua, what is the relationship between you and the proprietress here?" ”
Hua Zhushu laughed dryly: "Although I once helped her, she has already paid me back the love she owes me." Now, she's the landlady and I'm the diner. The only privilege is that every time I visit, I can enjoy a private room, no matter how many guests there are. ”
"I think the female boss is good-looking and can speak well." Han Zhan asked with emotion: "There must be a lot of people who like her." ”
"That's not it," Master Hua snorted outside and said, "Envoy, look at those people outside, they are basically coming for the female boss." In addition, there is a thirteen lang, the family is a vegetable grower, once went to the city to sell vegetables, and accidentally saw Zigu here, and suddenly he didn't even remember his surname. From then on, his family's food was no longer sold along the street, but all of them were delivered here, even if the price was 10% lower than outside, he didn't care. ”
Speaking of this, Hua Hu glanced out of the door and said casually: "But I haven't seen him appear for a few days, and I don't know which little lady has taken his soul away." ”
As soon as his words fell, he heard a loud noise at the door, as if a clay pot had fallen to the ground and shattered. Several people in the room immediately jumped up from their seats and rushed out quickly. Outside the door stood a fat man in a white apron, with a pool of stagnant water at his feet, and in the middle of the water was a pile of broken pottery shards.
"Gebe, why are you clumsy." Hua Hu looked at the person in front of him and the water stains on the ground, and suddenly became angry, "This is a good bar that Zigu asked you to send, and before you entered the door, you threw it to the ground." ”
"I'm sorry, Blossom Master." The scolding man did not defend himself, but said with sincere fear: "The little one will take another jar of wine for you." With that, he turned around and walked away as if he were running away.
After Han Zhan and Hua Hu returned to the room, they couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master Hua, who was that person just now?" Why does he look like a thief when he sees us? ”
"His name is Gebe, and he's the cook here." After introducing the situation of the person just now, Hua Hu asked in an uncertain tone: "Envoy, do you really think that he is a bit of a thief?" ”
"That's right, the flower master." Rob interjected again and said, "I just felt that way. ”
"In that case, I'll ask him when he brings the wine later." After Hua Hu finished speaking, he raised the chopsticks in his hand, pointed at the mutton and broth on the table, and said politely: "Envoy, please taste the taste of this small shop." ”
Han Zhan ate a few pieces of mutton, drank two more broths, and felt that the taste was fresher than the mutton he had eaten before, and couldn't help but ask Huahu curiously: "Whether it is mutton or broth, the taste is very fresh, and it is indeed different from the taste I have eaten before." Flower master book, do you know how Zigu does it? ”
Hua Hu shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't know, I asked a few times, but Zigu diverted the topic, I guess it should be her ancestral secret recipe." By the way, envoy, you can taste this dough again. ”
Han Zhan picked up the dough on the table and took a bite, feeling crispy and delicious, he couldn't help but say with emotion: "This dough tastes good, I now understand why after Zigu opened this shop, the peers around her will go out of business one after another." Just by virtue of the umami of this mutton soup and the buckle of the dough, it is not comparable to those shops. ”
As he spoke, Ge Bei had already walked in with a jar of wine, and he placed the three wine bowls on the table with the three wine bowls under his armpits, and then slapped open the mud seal, ready to pour wine for everyone, but was stopped by Huahu. Hua Hu snatched the wine jar from his hand, put it on the table, and then asked coldly: "Ge Bei, you are honest, have you been doing evil outside recently?" ”
"No, Lord Bookkeeper, the little one didn't do anything." Hearing Hua Hu's questioning, Ge Bei said in a panic: "The little one has been in the store every day recently, and he hasn't gone anywhere, how can he do something wrong?" Lord Bookkeeper, don't wronged the villain. ”
Han Zhan sat on the side and observed his words, and found that Ge Bei didn't dare to look at Huahu at all when he was talking, so he was even more sure that there was something wrong with this cook. So he instructed Rob beside him: "Lower the curtain of the door, and we will judge him properly." ”
After Rob lowered the curtain and blocked the sight of the people in the hall, Han Zhan coughed heavily, and then said in a stern tone: "Ge Bei, if you confess honestly, I and the flower master can still open the net; If we do not admit guilt, we will be severely punished after we find out the facts. ”
Hua Hu slapped heavily on the table, shaking out the mutton soup in the bowl: "It's better to recruit it truthfully!" ”
Ge Bei was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a pout, kowtowed again and again, and said: "Let the king spare his life, let the king spare his life, the little one is willing to confess truthfully, please let the king spare the little one's life." ”
Seeing that Ge Bei really confessed, Han Zhan snorted at Huahu and motioned for him to interrogate the matter. Hua Hu nodded understandingly, and then asked, "Ge Bei, tell me, what case did you commit?" ”
"Lord Bookkeeper," Ge Bei replied lying on the ground and not daring to raise his head, "Xiao has always liked Zigu in his heart, but because of his humble status, he didn't dare to confess to her. Recently, it was discovered that Thirteen Lang, who was delivering vegetables, repeatedly approached Zigu under the pretext of getting close to Zigu, and the little one was not angry, so he found a few splashes and beat him up. ”
When Han Zhan heard this, he said in his heart, even if you ask someone else to beat Thirteen Lang, you don't have to be so panicked? Then he asked puzzledly: "Even if you beat Thirteen Lang, you don't have to be so panicked when you see us?" ”
"In reply to the envoy's words," Ge Bei continued, "Yesterday a splash came to me and said that after beating the Thirteen Lang severely, he had thrown him into the Zhangshui River. When the little one heard about his life, he was afraid. When I was just delivering the wine, I happened to hear the flower master book mention Thirteen Lang, and for a moment I panicked, and threw the wine jar I was holding on to the ground. ”
I thought it was just a case of fighting and brawling, but I didn't expect that human lives would be involved, Han Zhan's expression became solemn, he knew that the Zhanghe River was turbulent, even if ordinary people fell into the water, their lives were in danger, not to mention a person who was beaten and bruised all over his body. He stood up and instructed Rob: "Take him back to the county office and continue the interrogation slowly." ”
