I Broke Through Too Quickly - Chapter 905

[Chapter 905 Strange]

The theft from the warehouse was easier to investigate than Zhu Wuyou imagined. After ruling out the option of monsters and ghosts, Hao Jiyong quickly discovered the anomaly through effective follow-up investigation.

From the old blacksmith in Tongxin Town, Hao Jiyong got his wish and got no clue about matching the key. According to the old blacksmith, no one asked him to match the key to the Chaoyun warehouse a few months ago.

As the warehouse of Chaoyun Farm, the door lock of the warehouse is specially made, and the key is also specially made, so if someone comes to prepare it, the old blacksmith will definitely be impressed.

But the old blacksmith had no memory here, which showed that he did not steal Hao Jiyong’s key to match a new key a few months ago.

In the entire Tongxin Town, except for the old blacksmith, there is no other place to get keys. Unless you go to another town dozens of miles away, it takes more than a hundred miles to go back and forth, and there are dangers on the road.

Hao Jiyong had only been drunk for a few hours that night, and the guards who drank with him were only one or two levels of external training and were not that powerful.

In this case, could it be that the theft in the warehouse was not man-made, or there was something fishy about it.

Hao Jiyong continued to investigate, and then discovered something unusual about one of the guards he was drinking with. This man was named Bai Qiang. When he was gambling in Tongxin Town a few days ago, he lost his wife, children and house, and still owed money. A lot of money.

During this period, the casino had been collecting debts and almost forced him to death. If he hadn’t been the guard of Chaoyun Farm, the other party would have chopped him up and fed him to the dogs.

Even so, Bai Qiang had a miserable life during this period, but when he was being collected for debts in recent days, he often told the casino that he would have money soon and asked them to give him a while.

This made Hao Jiyong feel strange. After all, everyone knew what Bai Qiang was like. He couldn’t afford such a large gambling debt, but he said so. Could it be related to the theft of the warehouse?

Hao Jiyong focused his attention on Bai Qiang, and soon discovered clues. Bai Qiang was indeed not at the homes of several of his frequent friends that night when the warehouse was stolen, and his whereabouts were somewhat mysterious.

After discovering this, Hao Jiyong took decisive action and arrested Bai Qiang with his guards. After some intimidation and coercion, he successfully pried the truth out of Bai Qiang’s mouth.

It turns out that Bai Qiang did try to get the warehouse key while Hao Jiyong was drunk a few months ago. He took the key away and wanted to get one. He wanted to go to the warehouse occasionally to get some food and other things to support his family.

But then he thought that doing so would leave too many traces, so Bai Qiang didn’t do it. Instead, he asked Hao Jiyong where he usually kept his keys while he was drunk.

After being drunk, Hao Jiyong didn’t take much precautions. Bai Qiang used a trick to find out the hidden place where the keys were usually kept.

In the following months, Bai Qiang occasionally took the key secretly at night and took some grains and vegetables from the warehouse. Because the quantity was small, Hao Jiyong did not notice anything unusual.

Because he no longer had to buy food and vegetables, Bai Qiang’s hands gradually became more generous, and he became addicted to gambling.

It was fine at the beginning, but as time went by, Bai Qiang’s gambling addiction got worse and worse, and he finally caused a big mess half a month ago. Not only did he lose his wife and children, but he also lost his home. .

Not only that, Bai Qiang also owed the casino a large amount of money.

Faced with the casino’s debt collection, Bai Qiang, who had no choice but to turn to Chaoyun Farm’s warehouse, decided to use it.

Because he had 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 was enough to repay the gambling debt, and Bai Qiang also erased all traces.

Because he entered through the main entrance, there were naturally no traces left around, causing Hao Jiyong to mistakenly think that it was a ghost or ghost.

Bai Qiang has not sold these medicinal materials yet. After all, he has just obtained them. He has to find a good buyer, and he cannot be discovered by Chaoyun Farm yet.

Bai Qiang didn’t expect that he would be found out within a day of the incident. He was so frightened that he spilled the beans.

After learning about the situation, Zhu Wuyang waved his hand and asked Hao Jiyong to send him to the government. He did not kill him directly. After all, doing so would violate the Xia Kingdom’s criminal law.

The death penalty is rare in the Xia Kingdom. Prisoners who have committed serious crimes will basically be sent to serve their sentences. After all, the number of humans is limited, and demons and monsters have killed enough humans. It is better to kill less.

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

Of course, there are also those who choose to go to the front lines to fight monsters and monsters. Generally speaking, these die relatively quickly, and few last more than a year.

Most prisoners on death row will still choose to serve in the mines. They can live longer in the mines after being exhausted, which is much more comfortable than being eaten by monsters and monsters.

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

Bai Qiang’s experience was hateful and irritating. Before leaving, he cried and cried that if Hao Jiyong and Chaoyun Farm had not given him a chance, he would not have become addicted to drugs and eventually embarked on this path of no return.

Not only was his wife and child gone, but he would also spend his whole life in hard labor. After all, the amount of medicinal materials stolen by Bai Qiang had offended the Lin family of the imperial merchant. Once he served, it would be difficult to come back.

But in the final analysis, Bai Qiang’s own willpower was too weak. Without the pressure and temptation of monsters and monsters, he became addicted to gambling and embarked on such a path of no return. His originally good family and life were destroyed in this way.

After the incident came out, the atmosphere in the entire Chaoyun Farm was cleared up, and the news about Zhu Wuhuang solving the case in one day also spread, which made many people in the farm who looked down on him change their minds.

This matter was immediately reported to the Lin family in the imperial capital by Pan Yufeng, the housekeeper of the farm. After receiving the news, the Lin family was slightly applauded and sent Zhu Wuyang some miraculous medicine to enhance his physical fitness.

Some senior members of the Lin family also reduced their opinions on Zhu Wuhuang, but Zhu Wuhuang did not take it seriously. For him, this matter was not even a minor incident. Regardless of whether Bai Qiang was caught or not, the medicinal materials Whether it is recovered or not, it is not worth Zhu Wuhuang’s time to waste in this regard.

The only thing that makes Zhu Wuhuang a little interested is that maybe the number of breakthrough stones obtained from this incident seems to be a little too much. In other words, in the Xuanhuang world, Xia Kingdom, Zhu Wuhuang can get a lot of breakthrough stones with every move he makes. .
