Chapter 0048 A murder case

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Hua Hu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, I misunderstood. I only admire Miss Xiaofan, and I have absolutely no injustice."

Han Zhan showed a surprised expression on his face. He thought that Hua Hu, as the "local emperor" in the county of Heguo, had done a lot of things to bully men and women. Unexpectedly, facing such a stunning look, he could actually sit still without any hesitation. It 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 as beautiful as a flower, but she is extremely strong. Once, when she came here to send fish, a Dengtuzi wanted to tease her. Without saying a word, she grabbed a bone-clearing knife and slapped it on Dengtuzi's face. From then on, no one dared to have any evil thoughts about her again."

"But I just saw her very kind," Rob interrupted, "When you meet, you smile, how could you be as tough as you said?"

Hua Hu snorted: "She is just a thorny rose. She looks beautiful. If anyone wants to pick it, she will be pierced." He turned to Han Zhan and continued, "As far as I know, the person who came to her house to propose marriage kicked off a few of the thresholds of her house, but none of them could make her fall in love with her."

In fact, when he first saw Xiaofan, Han Zhan was shocked. Although he had traveled between China and Europe all year round in his later generations and had seen countless beauties from various countries, he still felt that a beauties like Xiaofan who "a lotus comes out of clear water and is naturally carved" were better. As for Zhen Mi, who invited Zhao Yun to propose marriage, although she was a stunning beauty who was fascinating in the future, she was still an eight-year-old little loli. She had not yet grown up and could not be compared with Xiaofan for the time being.

At this moment, when Hua Hu said that Xiaofan, who was in his 28th year of age, was still Yun Ying's unmarried, he couldn't help but feel excited. He asked tentatively: "Chief Hua, I don't know who Xiaofan's surname is, where is his family living, and who else is there?"

"Xiao Fan's surname is Fan and his name is Si. His family is sitting on the bank of Zhangshui River. There is an old father in the family." Hua Hu knew the situation of Xiao Fan's family. Seeing that Han Zhan wanted to learn about the life experience of Xiao Fan's family, he immediately opened his mouth: "The father and daughter depend on each other for life, and make a living by fishing..."

Han Zhan understood the truth that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so after learning about Xiaofan's situation from Hua Hu, he changed the topic: "By the way, Hua Zhuan, what is your relationship with the boss lady here?"

The chief clerk Hua laughed dryly: "Although I have helped her, she has long paid me back the love she owed me. Now, she is the female boss and I am a diner. The only preferential treatment is that every time I come, no matter how many guests I have, I can enjoy a single room."

"I think the female boss looks good and can speak well." Han Zhan asked with emotion: "I believe there are many people who like her."

"That's not," Hua Zhuannu said, "Envoy, look at the people outside, basically all came for the female boss. There was also a Shisanlang, who was a vegetable planter at home. Once he went to the city to sell vegetables, he accidentally saw Zi Gu here, and he suddenly didn't remember his surname. From then on, his family's vegetables were no longer sold along the street, but were all delivered here. Even if the price was 10% lower than that outside, he didn't care."

Speaking of this, Hua Hu glanced outside the door and said casually: "But I haven't seen him appear for several days, and I don't know which little lady has seduced his soul away again."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise came from the door, as if a clay pot or something had fallen to the ground and broke. Several people in the room immediately jumped out of their seats and rushed out quickly. Outside the door was a fat man with a white apron. There was a pile of water under his feet, and a pile of broken pottery pieces in the middle of the water.

"Ge Beg, why are you clumsy?" Hua Hu looked at the man in front of him and the water stains on the ground, and suddenly became angry. "This is a good bar that Zi Gu asked you to send you. Before you even entered the door, you threw it to the ground."

"I'm sorry, Hua Zhuan Zhu." The scolded person did not defend himself, but said in fear: "I will get another jar of wine for you." After that, he turned his head and walked away like he ran away.

After Han Zhan and Hua Hu returned to the room, they couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chief Hua, who was that person just now? Why did he look guilty when he saw us?"

"His name is Ge Bie, and he is the chef here." After introducing the situation of the man just now, Hua Hu asked in an uncertain tone: "June, do you really think he is a little guilty?"

"Yes, Huazhu." Rob interrupted again and said, "I felt this way just now."

"Since that's the case, I'll ask him carefully when he comes to bring wine later." After Hua Hu said that, he raised the chopsticks in his hand, pointed to the mutton and broth on the table, and said politely: "I'm sorry, please try how this shop tastes."

Han Zhan ate a few pieces of mutton and drank two more broths. He felt that the taste was fresher than the mutton I had eaten before. He couldn't help but ask Hua Hu curiously: "Whether it is mutton or broth, the taste is very fresh, and it is indeed different from the taste I had eaten before. Hua Zhuzhu, do you know how Zi Gu made it?"

Hua Hu shook his head and said, "I don't know this subordinate. After asking several times, Zi Gu changed the topic. I guess it should be her secret recipe. By the way, I'll try this dough again."

Han Zhan picked up the dough cake on the table and took a bite. He felt it was crispy and delicious. He couldn't help but say with a sensation: "This dough cake tastes good. I now understand why after Zigu opened this store, his colleagues around him went bankrupt one after another. Just because of the umami flavor of this mutton soup and the deduction of the dough cake, it is not comparable to those stores."

As he was talking, Ge Bey had already walked in with a jar of wine. He put the three wine bowls under his armpit on the table first, then slapped the mud seal and prepared to pour wine for everyone, but Hua Hu stopped him. Hua Hu grabbed the jar of wine in his hand, put it on the table, and then asked coldly: "Ge Bey, come here honestly, have you done evil outside recently?"

"No, Master Director, the young man did nothing." Hearing Hua Hu's questioning, Ge Bie said in a panic: "The young man has been in the store every day and has not gone anywhere. How could he do evil things? Master Director, don't blame the villain."

Han Zhan sat aside to observe his expression and saw that when Ge Bie was talking, he did not dare to look at Hua Hu at all, and he became more sure that the chef had a problem. So he ordered Rob beside him: "Put down the curtain, we must examine him well."

After Rob put down the curtain and blocked the people's vision in the hall, Han Zhan coughed heavily, and then said in a stern tone: "Ge Beg, if you honestly explain, I and Zhuzhu Hua and I can still share the same relationship. If we do not plead guilty, we will be punished severely after we find out the truth."

Hua Hu slapped heavily on the table and shocked the mutton soup in the bowl: "Isn't it true to be brought to you!"

Ge Bei was so scared that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and said, "I will spare my life, I will spare my life, I will be willing to confess truthfully, please forgive me, I will save my life."

Seeing that Ge Bei really confessed his guilt, Han Zhan bluntly at Hua Hu and signaled him to interrogate the matter. Hua Hu nodded with understanding and then asked, "Ge Bei, tell me, what case did you commit?"

"Master's Register," Ge Bei lay on the ground, answering without raising his head: "Xiao has always liked Zi Gu in his heart, but because of his humble status, he dared not confess to her. Shisanlang, who has been delivering vegetables, has repeatedly approached Zi Gu in his excuses. Xiao was angry and found a few thugs to beat him up."

When Han Zhan heard this, he thought to himself that even if you command someone else to beat Shisanlang, you don’t have to panic so much. Then he asked in confusion: “Even if you beat Shisanlang, you don’t have to panic when you see us?”

"Return to the envoy's words," Ge Bei continued, "Yesterday a thug came to me and said that he had beaten Shisanlang and threw him into the Zhangshui River. The young man heard that he had died and was afraid. When he was delivering wine, he happened to hear the owner of Hua mention Shisanlang. He panicked and threw the wine jar on the ground."
