Chapter 23 Never Injure Your Excellency

Although Hao Jiyong was simple and kind, he was not stupid. He knew clearly that once the food and medicinal materials in the warehouse were not found, Liu Yuanqing and others would definitely take the opportunity to shirk responsibility.

Originally, Song Ankang, the new owner of the village, had just arrived and had not been the owner for a long time. The affairs of the village were also controlled by Steward Wang, Liu Yuanqing and others.

Now that there is a problem with the warehouse, Liu Yuanqing is the first to be held accountable, followed by Steward Wang, and finally Song Ankang, the new owner.

As the third responsible person, Song Ankang has to bear very little punishment.

But in order to exonerate Hao Jiyong, Song Ankang, who had nothing to do with himself, has already intervened in this matter and became the second responsible person. Now he is going to evacuate the warehouse, which will inevitably damage the medicinal materials in the warehouse.

At that time, as long as Liu Yuanqing reports to the high-level family, plus the previous incident, Song Ankang will replace Liu Yuanqing as the first person responsible for the warehouse theft. If the murderer cannot be found, the punishment will be the heaviest.

After all, in the Song family, many senior members of the family didn't like Song Ankang's son-in-law very much.

Seeing that Hao Jiyong still thought of him in this situation, regardless of his own life and death, and was extremely gracious and repaying others, Song Ankang felt a little more relieved.

Glancing at Liu Yuanqing who was beaming, Song Ankang said with a smile: "If you are worried that I will be punished, then use your best ability to reduce the damage of medicinal materials as much as possible when carrying it."

"Deal with this matter immediately. If you are not sure enough, do you think I will take this risk?"

"This... yes, my lord, the villain will definitely do my best." Hao Jiyong said calmly: "I will never disappoint my lord's expectations."

After speaking, Hao Jiyong immediately directed the acquaintances in the warehouse to organize manpower and start moving the grain and medicinal materials in the warehouse.

For those more expensive medicinal materials, Hao Jiyong did it himself, not letting others touch the slightest bit, lest there be any damage.

While Hao Jiyong organized people to move the food and medicinal materials, Song Ankang was nearby, carefully observing every inch of the warehouse.

There is no other reason for being so sure. Song Ankang did find something unusual.

This abnormality is the traces of aura lingering on the breath-keeping grass. According to the memory of the original owner, this aura should belong to some kind of monster.

Since there are monsters invading, there must be traces left, but now there are no traces, so there is only one truth, that is, the traces are suppressed by the food and medicinal materials, and the food and medicinal materials need to be removed to be seen.

The monster that invaded the warehouse was obviously quite careful, and it didn't leave any traces anywhere else, especially around the missing medicinal materials, except for that trace of abnormal aura, there was nothing else left behind.

It's just kind of incredible!

Under normal circumstances, a ninth-grade monster like this would not be too intelligent, and would always leave a lot of clues when doing things, so that humans could easily know who did these things through these clues.

But this monster is very powerful, and it seems to be deliberately covering up its own traces. Normally, a monster with such intelligence will not be too weak in strength.

Thinking of this, Song Ankang thought of the feeling of something wrong when he just entered the warehouse. Although the feeling of something wrong is gone now, the sense of danger in that feeling is still lingering.

It seems that as long as you are not careful, you may be swallowed by the monster hidden in the dark.

There is also a trace of breath left on the breath-keeping grass, which definitely belongs to demons. Song Ankang's complexion also became dignified when he thought of the horrible scene when earthworms swallowed people.

Fortunately, his spiritual will is far superior to ordinary people, otherwise he would not be able to perceive this kind of abnormality and monster breath. If he probed in the warehouse in a daze and was found by the monster hiding in the dark,

I'm afraid it's dangerous.

The two times when I felt something was wrong, it should be the time when the monster was in the warehouse. When the feeling of something wrong disappeared, the monster should have left.

Song Ankang focused on observing the open space for food and medicinal materials, and wanted to find clues in these places. Jiang Yunhe also saw something, frowned slightly, and followed Song Ankang to observe these places.

Some tenants in the farm who had finished their farm work got the news and came to the surrounding area to watch and help, and low voices of discussion sounded around.

"Did monsters really enter the warehouse? But the inside and outside of the warehouse are covered with extremely hard green stones. How could monsters enter the warehouse?"

"If a monster really entered the warehouse, it would definitely leave clues. Now, even Coach Jiang can't find any clues. How could it be a monster? The owner made a mistake again."

"I said earlier that the owner of the village is an outsider. Although he is a first-rate man and the most filial son in Kyoto, he has never grown food and medicinal materials. How can he understand this? It's all messing around."

"After this incident, the owner of the Song Dynasty has completely brought himself in. If the murderer is not found, the family high-level will definitely punish him. I hope that we can replace us with a capable owner."

...

No one is optimistic about Song Ankang's actions. Some people think that Song Ankang is putting all his eggs in one basket and wants to save his face and dignity.

Liu Yuanqing smiled and put his hands behind his back, watching Hao Jiyong and others carrying food and medicinal materials, secretly laughing at Song Ankang for asking for trouble and death, for a matter that had little to do with him, but he had to force his way out, it's all right now.

But this is a great thing for me. If Song Ankang hadn't forced Hao Jiyong to stand up for Hao Jiyong, he would still be the first person responsible for the warehouse theft. Hao Jiyong and Song Ankang are both good people.

As the food and medicinal materials were carried out little by little, more and more open spaces appeared in the warehouse, and many covered places were exposed, but there were no traces of demon invasion.

There are no caves, no cracks, no traces of demons... So more and more people began to dislike Song Ankang's judgment, and their gazes at him became strange.

Hao Jiyong's face also slowly turned pale, but he still took advantage of the gap to come to Song Ankang's side, and said solemnly: "Master, don't worry, the villain will not let this matter affect Mr. Zhuang."

Seeing the resolute look on Hao Jiyong's face, Song Ankang faintly realized something, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will find the problem."

After speaking, Song Ankang found a hard wooden stick from nearby, and began to beat on the floor of the warehouse, especially the newly vacated space.

"Dangdang...dangdang..."
