Han Li stopped mid-sentence. Of course Li Gongfu couldn't stand it, so he asked more questions.

"Brother-in-law, please finish what you said. It's so uncomfortable to leave half of what you said."

Han Li smiled and said, "There was once a Taoist technique called the technique of creating animals, which could turn people into animals."

"This is specially used to punish the heinous people, and it is often used by people with evil intentions to do evil."

"It was judged by everyone to be an evil magic. It was wiped out several times and then lost. I didn't expect that it was still passed down outside."

"If I guessed correctly, someone should have used this kind of evil magic. They turned people into cows to make profits."

After hearing this, Li Gongfu exclaimed: "Isn't that the 'crime of immorality'? If it is true, we will be in big trouble."

(In ancient times, there were ten unpardonable serious crimes known as the "Ten Evils", namely treason, treason, treason, rebellion, dishonesty, disrespect, unfilial piety, disharmony, unrighteousness, and civil strife.)

Among them, the sins of immorality include dismemberment, making animals, poisoning, and bewitching, which have become one of the unpardonable felonies.

And there have been relevant regulations since the Tang Dynasty: Those who breed livestock will be punished by hanging. Those who live with them even if they are not aware of it, and those who are aware of the situation in the village, square, and village and do not correct them will be exiled for three thousand miles. In case of amnesty, no mercy will be given.

.

The group soon arrived at the livestock market and immediately saw a stall crowded with people.

There was an ox tied to the wooden post, and many people came up to check the tusks of the ox with their own hands.

As the main force of agricultural society, almost every household hopes to have a cow of their own.

However, due to breeding restrictions and other reasons, the number of farm cattle has been unable to increase.

Every time cattle appear at the livestock market, it creates a sensation.

"Everyone, are you satisfied with this cattle?"

At this time, the stall owner saw that there were already a lot of people around, so he started to greet his business.

"Satisfied, satisfied. This cow is old and has good teeth. It can be seen that the owner has taken good care of it and raised it."

The people around him echoed, and a man who had passed the age of knowing his fate stepped forward and asked.

"Can your cattle be cheaper?"

"It's easy to hurt the peace by bargaining. Our rule this time is that the one with the highest price gets it. Those who want to take the cattle home can make an offer."

"Five taels."

"Eight taels."

"I will pay ten taels of silver."

"Twelve taels, I will give you twelve taels."

"I'll pay fifteen taels."

(Song Dynasty poet Xu Jingheng said in "Mo Niu Tu": "A cow moving is worth ten thousand coins, and one ink finger is worth so much. If the Tian family really has this, they can order no hungry people in the world." Ten thousand coins are worth ten thousand coins, and at that time the Kaifeng Imperial Army

The salary of soldiers is only one thousand yuan a month. Therefore, many people go without food or water for nearly a year before they can buy a cow. It is a joy to write it in silver.)

...

The bids at the scene fluctuated with each other, and it was very lively for a while.

The more lively they shouted, the happier the stall owner looked on.

"It's fifteen taels, is there anyone who wants to bid?"

After the stall owner shouted several times, he wanted to sell the cow to the person with the highest bid.

Han Li opened the Void Child and found that the cow was indeed a human being, but the stall owner couldn't see any problem.

He whispered a few words to Li Gongfu, then pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward to speak.

"I'll pay 20 taels of silver for this cow, so the stall owner might as well sell it to me."

Han Li had already squeezed into the innermost position at this time, and at a glance he could see the indescribable but uncomfortable look in the old scalper's eyes.

"Stall owner, if I pay 20 taels for this cow, will you sell it to me?"

"Sell it, the one with the highest price will get it. If Xiaoyameni bids the highest price, of course the cow will be yours."

Han Li paid the money readily, then took the cow and left.

After all the cattle were sold, the crowd of people who had been watching dispersed, and the stall owner took the money and left the place looking happy.

After Han Li left for a while, Li Gongfu followed him. The two young government servants beside him had already gone to hang up the man who bought the cattle.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do now?"

Han Li: "Of course I want the county magistrate to see it with his own eyes, otherwise he will talk all day long without saying a word and using his strange powers to confuse his mind."

"When something really happens, I drag you to fight again. It's time to scare such a bastard."

Li Gongfu asked carefully: "Will anything happen?"

Han Li: "No, my brother-in-law can just watch the show."

"But if the two people you sent are not clever, they may be in danger."

Li Gongfu said a little uncertainly: "I have told them all this, there should be no problem."

Under the leadership of Li Gongfu, Han Li went to the backyard of the county government office smoothly and met the serious county magistrate.

"Captain Li, if you don't go looking for the missing person, why are you bringing a cow to see me?"

Li Gongfu: "Your Excellency, this cow is one of the missing persons."

"Nonsense, do you think I am a fool? How can this cow be a human?"

Li Gongfu: "My lord, this is someone who has tricked you into making animals..."

The county magistrate directly interrupted Li Gongfu and said: "I have told you so many times that you can't say anything but have strange power and chaos."

Han Li really didn't want to follow this bad example and maximized the external effect of the Golden Light Spell.

His whole body shone with golden light, making him look like a god descending to earth. Then he pointed at the old scalper, and a golden light hit it instantly.

"Moo, moo...ah..."

The old scalper turned into a living person, which frightened the county magistrate so much that he even felt awkward speaking.

"This... what kind of witchcraft is this?"

Han Li glanced at him disdainfully and said, "This villager was given the ability to create animals. I just unlocked the ability."

"My lord, please think carefully about the crimes of injustice in the national law. Is this the situation you are facing?"

"It's a sin of injustice, hahaha..., so I'm going to be promoted this time."

The county magistrate began to apologize to Han Li, and then made various wishes, pushing the scholar's skills to the extreme.

Then the county magistrate called the master and began to question the villager who had just returned from the cow transformation.

Han Li and Li Gongfu came to the front office and waited for the two government officials who had gone to follow them to come back.

It was not until evening that the two men came back.

"Head, we found the stall owner's home. This man is from Xiaoshu Village. His name is Qin Dagou."

"I usually eat and cook in the village, but during this period I often transport cattle back from somewhere to sell."

Li Gongfu: "Call all the brothers, and we will dig out the people behind him."

He had no demonic energy to check this thing, so he had to resort to the stupidest method, so Han Li had no choice but to go along.

However, Han Li and Li Gongfu have been resting at Muramasa's house, so they are not needed for such things as surveillance.

When it got dark, the government officials who were watching came over.

"Head, Qin Dagou just went out secretly."
