It's night.

After a busy day, the people at Cornucopia Company returned to the dormitory and fell asleep in bed.

Suddenly, a piercing scream broke the silence of the night, waking everyone up from their dreams!

"Come on, someone, something big is wrong."

Su Baiya put on her clothes and walked out of the house, only to see a large group of people gathered outside the warehouse where the grain was stored, and when she walked over, the warehouse door that should have been closed was open, and the place where many rice seeds should be stacked was already empty.

Is this a thief?

"What's going on?" She looked at the crowd and asked.

"Mr. Su, I was the first person to find the problem, just now I went to the thatched house to go to the toilet, and when I passed by the warehouse, I saw that the warehouse door was open, so I walked in and found that the rice seeds were missing, and I didn't know anything else."

In order to increase the speed of rice sales, rice has been packed into 100 catties of sacks, and at least more than 10 bags have been lost at a glance.

The company has built a courtyard wall nearly two meters high around it, and at the same time, the top of the courtyard wall is also inlaid with wooden thorns, which is difficult for people to climb, not to mention carrying a hundred catties of grain.

And the door of the company will be locked from the inside at night, not to mention that Uncle Ge is guarding it, and it is impossible to steal the rice quietly from the main entrance.

Sure enough, after searching for it, everyone found that there was a one-person-high hole in the courtyard wall not far from the warehouse.

The rice thieves must have left from here!

Uncle Ge was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Mr. Su, I really don't know if these people come in to steal things, it's none of my business." ”

Although he was responsible for guarding the company's gate, he couldn't let any strangers in, and he was worried that Su Baiya would take his anger out on him.

"Ge Ye doesn't have to blame himself, since these people want to steal, they will be fully prepared in advance, and it is difficult to prevent it if they want to."

At the beginning, in order to save money, the courtyard wall was built with rammed earth, and it was too easy to make holes, and it seems that it would be safe to change the courtyard wall to stone in the future.

Su Baiya didn't attach much importance to the more than 1,000 catties of rice that was lost, and it didn't cost anything if the rice was produced in the Heavenly Domain.

But if this matter is not closely investigated, there will be people who will follow suit in the future!

Nowadays, there is no such thing as a road, and the places that can be walked are called roads, and it is night in all directions, although the thieves have not gone far and it is not easy to track them down.

The most important thing is that once you track down the thief separately, if you encounter a fierce counterattack, you will inevitably be beaten.

But for the Desireless Immortals who can ascend to the heavens, it is not a big problem to track down a group of people within a radius of several miles.

......

"Mr. Su, let me try, maybe we just chased in the right direction, maybe we ran into that pair of thieves."

Ruan Er had already called out more than a dozen people from the security department, and was about to go out to track down the traces of the thieves, but was stopped by Su Baiya.

"Wait, maybe there's another way."

Su Baiya reluctantly used the procrastination tactic, he really didn't want to discourage Ruan Er's enthusiasm, but he couldn't say it too clearly.

After a quarter of an hour, Wu Xian walked in from the main entrance of the company slowly, pretending to be puzzled: "What are you doing without sleeping at night?" ”

Ruan Er arched his hand and said: "Director Wu, you didn't know that the company came back late and lost more than ten bags of rice seeds, so you can persuade Mr. Su, I'll go and search, what if I find the thief?" ”

Wu Xian pretended to be surprised: "The company has a thief? Who is so bold? ”

Ruan Er shook his head helplessly: "I don't know where the turtle son stole it." ”

Wu Xianxian said: "When I came back, I saw two ox carts, pulling heavy goods and more than ten people to the west, it is estimated that it is now about five miles away from the company, if it is all the way to the west, it may be too late." ”

Su Baiya nodded: "It seems that it's them, Ruan Er, you bring it and chase it, and be sure to bring back all the rice and thieves." ”

"Yes, Mr. Su."

While Ruan Er answered Su Baiya's words, he looked at Wu Xian suspiciously.

I met the thief so coincidentally, and I also paid attention to the details of the thief's side?

Although it's a little glow-in-the-dark, it's almost the same as reaching out and not seeing your five fingers, so good for the sight of the immortals?

And he also had a feeling that Su Baiya deliberately came back with no desire for immortals.

Although I think it's weird, I can't tell what is wrong.

However, the first priority is to get the people back first.

...

When the sky was gray, Ruan Er took more than ten people from the security department and more than 20 companies to successfully bring back the thieves, and the lost rice was also found.

If everyone has stolen money, interrogation can be waived.

"Mr. Su, I led people to chase me west, and I really met these grandsons, and I was still discussing how to divide the spoils, and we caught them." After Ruan Er finished speaking, he looked at the group of thieves and shouted angrily, "Don't kneel down yet." ”

Many of them, Su Baiya, had some impressions, most of them were ordinary people who participated in yesterday's fight, and after a brief inquiry, she learned that these people were from the same village.

Fearing that he would be punished for not being able to bring the rice seeds back, he dug a hole in the courtyard wall and entered the company to steal the rice.

In any case, these people are guilty of thieves, and there is zero tolerance for theft in this day and age.

If the amount involved exceeds 100 yuan, he will be sentenced to 30 days' hard labor, and 100 yuan to 1 tael of silver will be distributed to other places and leave his hometown. Between one tael of silver and five taels of silver, a word will be tattooed on the face.

If it exceeds ten taels of silver, he will be forced to do labor, tattoo his face, and cut off his nose!

The whole life was completely ruined.

And the value of a bag of rice seeds is more than four taels of silver, a total of twelve bags, the value is far more than ten taels of silver, once it is sent to the yamen, what awaits them is a merciless punishment.

More than 20 villagers who were tied up by the flowers regretted it at the moment.

Brother Zhou knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Mr. Su, please spare us this time, we did something stupid with a hot head, and we will never dare to do it again in the future." ”

Su Baiya sneered: "Didn't you mean it? If it weren't for the luck of my men who caught you, they might have returned to the village with rice by this time. ”

"Mr. Su, we really know it's wrong" Brother Zhou desperately begged for mercy, "I have a lot of strength to help you work, you can do whatever you want us to do, don't get paid, please give us a chance!" ”

If you go to the Yamen, sooner or later what you have done will spread in Qinghuai County, not only will your family's face be disgraced, but you will have to endure its harsh punishment.

The desire to survive is strong at this moment.

Su Baiya shook her head and ignored these people, if she did something wrong, she should be punished, so she ordered Ruan Er and the others to send them all to the yamen.

However, he was still willing to give these people a chance, and sent someone to talk to Boss Su in private, just give some lessons.
