   Chapter 905 Strange

The theft of the warehouse is even easier to investigate than Zhu Wuyang imagined. After eliminating the option of ghosts and ghosts, Hao Jiyong quickly discovered the abnormality through effective follow-up investigation.

In the old blacksmith in Tongxin Town, Hao Jiyong did not get any clues about the key assignment as he wished. According to the old blacksmith, no one asked him to assign the key to the Chaoyun warehouse a few months ago.

As the warehouse of Chaoyun Grange, the door lock and key of the warehouse are specially made, so if someone comes to make it, the old blacksmith will definitely be impressed.

But the old blacksmith didn't have any impression here. It can be seen that Hao Jiyong's key was not stolen to make a new key a few months ago.

In the entire Tongxin Town, except for the old blacksmith, there is no place for a second key, unless you go to another town dozens of miles away, which is more than 100 miles away, and there are dangers on the road.

Hao Jiyong was only drunk for a few hours that night, and the guards who drank with him were only forging the first and second floors, and they were not so powerful.

In this case, the warehouse theft is not man-made, or there is something else.

Hao Jiyong continued to investigate, and then discovered that one of the guards who drank with him was abnormal. This person was named Bai Qiang. When he gambled in Tongxin Town a few days ago, he lost his wife, children and house, and owed money. A lot of money.

During this time, the casino has been collecting debts and almost forced him to death. If he was not the guard of Chaoyun Grange, the other party would have chopped him up and fed him to the dog.

Even so, Bai Qiang had a miserable time, but in recent days when he was being charged for debts, he often told the casino that he would have money soon and asked them to give him another period of time.

This makes Hao Jiyong feel strange. After all, everyone knows what Bai Qiang looks like, and he can't get such a large gambling debt, but he said that because it has something to do with the warehouse theft.

Hao Jiyong focused his attention on Bai Qiang, and then quickly discovered clues. Bai Qiang was indeed not at the houses of several friends he often stayed at the night of the theft in the warehouse, and his whereabouts were somewhat mysterious.

After    discovered this, Hao Jiyong acted decisively and arrested Bai Qiang with his guards. After some intimidation and persecution, he successfully pried out the truth of the matter from Bai Qiang's mouth.

It turns out that a few months ago, Bai Qiang did take advantage of Hao Jiyong's drunkenness to type the key of the warehouse, and took the key away and wanted to set up one, and wanted to occasionally go to the warehouse to get some food to subsidize his family.

But later, thinking that doing so was too serious, Bai Qiang didn't do it, but took advantage of Hao Jiyong's drunkenness and asked him where he usually kept his keys.

Hao Jiyong didn't take much precautions after being drunk, and was asked by Bai Qiang for a little trick to find the hidden place where he usually kept his keys.

In the following months, Bai Qiang occasionally took the key at night and took some food and vegetables from the warehouse. Hao Jiyong was not aware of the abnormality due to the small amount.

Because he no longer has to buy food and vegetables, Bai Qiang gradually became more generous, and he became addicted to gambling.

It was fine at the beginning, but as time went on, Bai Qiang's gambling addiction became more and more serious, and finally caused a big mess half a month ago, not only lost his wife and children, but also lost his own family. .

Not only that, but Bai Qiang owes the casino a lot of money.

In the face of the casino's debt collection, Bai Qiang, who was desperate, hit the warehouse in Chaoyun Grange.

Because of a lot of experience and skills before, this time Bai Qiang successfully stole a large number of the most precious medicinal materials in the warehouse, the value is completely enough to pay off the gambling debt, and Bai Qiang also erased all traces.

Because he entered through the main entrance, he naturally left no traces around, which made Hao Jiyong mistakenly believe that it was a ghost.

These medicinal herbs, Bai Qiang, have not yet been sold. After all, they have just arrived. They have to find a good buyer, and they cannot be discovered by Chaoyun Grange.

Bai Qiang didn't expect that he would be found out in less than a day, and in a panic, he naturally said it as if he poured beans in a bamboo tube.

Knowing the situation, Zhu Wuyang waved his hand and asked Hao Jiyong to send him to the government, instead of killing him directly, after all, doing so would violate the criminal law of Xia.

There are very few executions in Xia Kingdom. All prisoners who commit serious crimes will basically be sent to serve their sentences. After all, the number of human races is limited, and there are enough human races killed by monsters, ghosts, and monsters. It is better to kill less.

Therefore, for those mortals who have committed capital crimes, most of the officials of the Xia Kingdom will send them to some closed mines, and let them dig in there until they die, which can be regarded as their last effort for the human race.

Of course, there are also people who choose to go to the front line to fight with monsters and monsters. Generally speaking, these die faster, and few of them persist for more than a year.

Most death row inmates still choose to serve in the mines, and they can live a while longer in the mines if they die of exhaustion, which is much more comfortable than being eaten by monsters and ghosts.

Of course, if you perform well on the front line, you will still have the opportunity to reduce the crime, or even get freedom. Of course, such prisoners are relatively few, and most of them still cannot escape a death sentence.

Bai Qiang's experience was both hateful and irritating. Before leaving, he cried and cried if Hao Jiyong and Chaoyun Grange had not given him a chance, he would not have become addicted to drugs, and finally embarked on this road of no return.

Not only has his wife and children gone, but he will also spend his life in hard labor. After all, the amount of medicinal materials stolen by the white robbers has angered the royal merchant Lin family, and once he serves, it will be difficult to come back.

But in the final analysis, Bai Qiang's own willpower is too poor, there is no persecution and temptation by demons and ghosts, and he has become addicted to gambling, and he has embarked on such a road of no return. The original good family and life have been destroyed like this.

After the    incident came out, the atmosphere of the entire Chaoyun Grange became clear, and the news about Zhu Wuyang solving the case one day also spread, which made many people who disliked him in the Grange changed their minds.

This matter was also reported to the Lin family in the imperial capital by Pan Yufeng, the housekeeper of the farmhouse. After receiving the news, the Lin family also applauded slightly and sent Zhu Wuyang some elixir to enhance his physique.

Some senior Lin family members also reduced their opinions on Zhu Wuyang, but Zhu Wuyang didn't take it to heart. For him, this matter is not even a small episode, regardless of whether Bai Qiang was caught or not, the medicinal materials Whether it is recovered or not, it is not worth Zhu Wuyang's wasting time in this regard.

The only thing that makes Zhu Wuyi a little interested, maybe the breakthrough stone obtained from this matter seems to be a little bit more, or what Zhu Wuyi does in the vast world of Xuanhuang, every move can get a lot of breakthrough stone. .
