   Chapter 19 Adding fuel to the fire

   speculated that the theft of Chaoyun Grange's warehouse should be man-made, and Hao Jiyong's figure appeared in Song Ankang's mind for the first time.

  There is no other reason. Compared with other people, Hao Jiyong has a lot of doubts.

   Moreover, Liu Yuanqing also investigated other warehouse staff, and found that the suspicious points of these people could not catch up with a Hao Jiyong, so it is no wonder that Liu Yuanqing put this matter on Hao Jiyong's head.

Song Ankang's brows also wrinkled, and he carefully observed inside and outside the warehouse, but found nothing, but when he left, Song Ankang inexplicably thought of the kind of strange feeling that rose in his heart when he first entered the warehouse. feel.

   In the following days, while Song Ankang was cultivating, he often came to the warehouse to check the progress of the theft case, but he never found anything, not even the feeling that something was wrong before.

   There is good news about Hao Jiyong's investigation, that is, the ten-year ginseng sold by Hao Jiyong is indeed newly dug, not the leftovers from last year.

   And Hao Jiyong also found the place where he dug out ginseng for ten years, and was affirmed by experts in the field of ginseng planting in the farm, that place did grow ginseng with good years.

   Even so, due to the delay in the theft case, the doubts looming over Hao Jiyong had eased a little, and then quickly rose again, especially with one incident.

   "Hao Jiyong, you are my eldest brother, why don't you help me, the people from Ningmenhui are already driving me to a dead end, you have to hide it and not take it out, right?"

   "Everyone said that you stole more than a dozen precious medicinal herbs, and they have already sold them for a lot of money. As long as you take out a third of it, it is enough for me to pay off the gambling debt. Why don't you save me."

"Since you want to watch me helplessly by the Ningmen meeting, don't blame me for taking this matter out, you must have stolen those precious medicinal herbs, because you told me about it once. ."

   "You also said at the time that there were so many loopholes in the warehouse management of Chaoyun Grange, as long as the people inside made a little crooked idea, they could take out a lot of precious medicinal materials from it, so you made a crooked idea, right?"

  …

   This morning, Song Ankang was training with Jiang Yunhe in the yard to improve his combat experience and fighting skills, when he heard harsh shouts from outside.

  Song Ankang's face darkened. Originally, because the theft case did not progress for a few days, many people focused their attention on Hao Jiyong. Now, after Hao Jiyong's younger brother Hao Jimeng's shouting, I am afraid that more people will doubt Hao Jiyong again.

   Hao Jiyong took the time to pick medicinal herbs for his younger brother Hao Jimeng at midnight, but Hao Jimeng was good, he didn't know how to repay his kindness, but because of other people's gossip, he felt that Hao Jiyong stole the precious medicinal herbs from the warehouse of Chaoyun Grange.

  After he didn't get what he wanted from Hao Jiyong, he even bit Hao Jiyong for revenge, clearly wanting to bring the Hao Jiyong family to a dead end.

   Such a conscienceless white-eyed wolf, thanks to Hao Jiyong being so good to him.

  Although in Song Ankang's view, what Hao Jimeng has done is more and more proof that Hao Jiyong did not steal the precious medicinal materials in the warehouse, but in the eyes of most people, Hao Jiyong is more suspicious.

   "Even Hao Jiyong's younger brother said that Hao Jiyong stole the precious medicinal materials in the warehouse. Obviously, there is no falsehood in this matter. The owner of the village saw the wrong person this time, and it took so long for nothing."

   "I just said that there are so many doubts about Hao Jiyong. Who else can there be besides him? Although what my uncle said has some truth, maybe this is Hao Jiyong deliberately trying to confuse us. In fact, he stole those precious medicinal materials from the warehouse."

   "Hao Jiyong doesn't admit it now because we are all staring at him, so he doesn't dare to tell Hao Jimeng that he stole the precious medicinal materials from the warehouse, and he wants to kill his younger brother for his own family. Hao Jiyong is also cruel enough."

   "My uncle is too stupid to actually believe someone like Hao Jiyong. In the end, he is too stupid to manage a farm. After all, my uncle used to be just a weak scholar with no power, what skills can he have?"

  …

The same thing has different interpretations in the eyes of different people. Song Ankang felt that Hao Jimeng's actions more and more proved Hao Jiyong's innocence, but most people didn't think so, which also affected Song Ankang's work in Chaoyun Grange. status and reputation.

   "Uncle, what should we do? Many people in the village are saying that you were blinded by Hao Jiyong. If you are incapable, you have to be stronger. If you really can't find the medicinal materials, you have to bear a lot of responsibility."

"We shouldn't intervene in this matter. In fact, they should handle it themselves. My uncle has just arrived, and even if there is any punishment, the uncle's responsibility will not be great. But my uncle is kindhearted and saved Hao Jiyong's family. If this happened If it was really what they did, it would be too unfair."

  …

  The little maid Qiushi was also a little anxious, and kept spinning around Song Ankang, even more anxious than Song Ankang himself.

   Seeing her worried appearance, Song Ankang smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, even if I make a mistake in this matter, it's nothing, not to mention, in my opinion, Hao Jimeng has instead confirmed my previous speculation."

   "Let's go to the warehouse later, maybe we can find some clues."

Jiang Yunhe next to    was silent, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he was also a little puzzled.

  After lunch, Song Ankang practiced the Seven Injury Devil Sutra for a while, and then took Qiushi and Jiang Yunhe towards the warehouse, but just halfway there, he heard Hao Jimeng's shouting from outside the wall again.

"Hao Jiyong, the deputy manager of the warehouse of Chaoyun Grange, is my eldest brother. He has money there, and he will pay me back the money I owe you. He has paid me back many times before, don't you all know that, so don't worry, just , don't force me any more, give my big brother some more time."

"A few days ago, my eldest brother dug up a ten-year-old wild ginseng plant. Didn't he almost pay the interest back? He has the ability to dig a few more plants and return the capital to you, so you can give us more grace. time."

  …

The voice    was very familiar. After all, he heard it in the morning. Song Ankang was stunned. He didn't expect that Hao Jimeng had come back soon after.

Not wanting to go to the warehouse, Song Ankang and his party came to the wall and saw Hao Jimeng surrounded by several fierce and strong men outside the wall, and there was a helpless Hao Jiyong next to him. Hao Jiyong's wife and children were at the wall. looked worriedly.
