Chapter Eighty-Six: Strange Theft
Zichen and Wanzhong walked out of the inn and chatted all the way. After all, the pen and fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info are brothers who have been together for three years, and after a while, the two seem to have recovered a lot of the way they were in the training camp, and they are talking and laughing.
Wan Zhong walked in the direction of Wanjia Winery with Zichen, and suddenly said on the way: "Brother Chen, this time I must have troubled you, I really shouldn't have scribbled in the letter......"
Zichen gave Wan Zhong a heavy punch, and said unhappily: "What are you talking about? We are brothers, you are in trouble, I naturally want to help!"
Zichen's words moved Wanzhong so much that all the barriers with Zichen disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't even speak, and his eyes were red.
Zichen also sighed in his heart. In this life, it is rare to have a few real friends, so for him, even if the future path is completely different and it is almost impossible to intersect, he does not want to lose Wanzhong's friend.
After the estrangement disappeared and gradually let go, Manju began to talk about his experience after leaving the training camp.
Wanzhong's family is small, even smaller than Zichen's family. Wanzhong's grandfather single-handedly created the "Wanjia Winery", which was later passed on to his only son Wanzhong. Wanzhong is Wanzhong's father, and after a lifetime of hard work, he finally made the 10,000 wineries bigger and stronger.
After Wanzhong lost hope in the Dharma path, he returned home and followed his father to manage the winery and learn to do business. During this time, although it was hard, Mane learned a lot and gradually grew up, and now he is a treasurer in the winery.
This time, Manzhong came back from a business trip outside and happened to hear the sound of fighting and screaming in the inn. He likes to be lively, and after following the lively people to look into the inn, he saw Zichen.
Zichen also briefly talked about his recent situation. Although their experiences are different, both of them are working their own life principles and resonate.
After a while, Wanjia Winery could already be seen in the distance. At this time, Zichen couldn't help but ask: "Worm, what's wrong with your winery?" I heard that people said that it was haunted, and you also offered a heavy reward to ask someone to help?"
As soon as he heard Zichen's question, Wan Chong also pinched his forehead with a headache, and came helplessly: "Brother Chen, it's a long story......"
After Wan Chong's explanation, Zichen finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
It turned out that about a few months ago, the wine in Wanjia Winery was found to have mysteriously disappeared, and then the situation became more and more serious, and several large jars of wine were vacated in the warehouse every day. Wan Jia originally thought that there was a thief stealing wine, so he invited a group of martial artists to strengthen the defense of the warehouse.
Who knows, the more people invited, the more troublesome it was, not only did not even see the thief, but it seemed that the thief was angered, not only stole the wine, but also smashed many wine jars, and the fine wine was scattered all over the place, and the losses were even more heavy.
Later, the situation became more and more serious, and the loss of wine in the warehouse became more and more large, either stolen, contaminated, and destroyed. As a result, the business of Wanjia winery is basically unable to continue, and it can only be temporarily closed.
Under the closure of business, the losses of Wanjia Winery will naturally further expand. Wan Jia couldn't sit still, so there was a heavy reward, which caused a lot of martial artists and some law cultivators to pour into Qingfeng Town in the past few days.
"Bugs, you sent people to guard the warehouses where the wine was stored, and the wine was still being stolen every day, wasn't the problem with the guards?"
Zichen was puzzled by this.
When the warehouse of Wanjia was guarded at the most, there were as many as hundreds of people, and the warehouse was completely surrounded. With so many people, it's too difficult for a thief to sneak into a warehouse without a trace.
On the other hand, some powerful cultivators use powerful spells such as the "Earth Escape Technique" to sneak into the warehouse without the eyes and ears of the guards. But under the noses of hundreds of people, it is really difficult to avoid the slightest movement and noise in the warehouse.
Not to mention that the wine thief not only stole the wine, but also smashed the wine jar, and under such a movement, these guards were all deaf and blind?
Wanzhong smiled bitterly: "Brother Chen, no one will believe this kind of thing when they hear it...... Originally, we also thought that it would be because the guards invited were lazy, or that there were ghosts guarding and stealing. After careful questioning, the descriptions of the guards all said that in the middle of the night, they always dozed off unconsciously, and then fell asleep. When I woke up, the liquor in the warehouse had been stolen or destroyed......"
"At first, my family and I naturally didn't believe such a bizarre thing, and suspected that they had colluded in their confessions. After all, it's understandable that one person dozes off, but it can't be dozing off dozens or hundreds of people at the same time, right? So, some of my clansmen and I began to keep vigil on the floor in the warehouse, and as long as there was no loss in the warehouse that night, the guards' lies would be self-defeating. But guess what......"
Zichen saw Wanzhong's face with a helpless wry smile, and naturally guessed the result.
Sure enough, Wanzhong sighed and said, "I and several clansmen take turns keeping vigil, and at least three people are awake at a time. But in the middle of the night, I don't know how it happened, and a few of my tribesmen and I suddenly became confused and fell asleep groggy. When I woke up, there was another theft in the warehouse......"
When Zichen heard this, he also raised his eyebrows. The theft of wine from Wanjia Winery is indeed bizarre and weird, and there is no reason to find it, and there is no wine thief to be found. No wonder when the rumors went outside, they were explained by the theory of ghosts and gods, and it turned out that the wine was stolen by "ghosts".
At this time, it was already dark, but the doors of Wanjia Winery were open, the lights were bright, and countless lanterns were lit and hung, lighting up the night sky.
When several guards guarding the gate saw that it was Wan Chong coming, the leader of them immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Second Young Master, are you back?"
Wan nodded and was about to walk in with Zichen, when the leader glanced at Zichen and stopped, "Second Young Master, who is this?"
Wan Zhong said unhappily: "This is my brother, I specially asked him to help!"
The leader smiled and said unceremoniously, "Second Young Master, this is not necessary. Let him go back where he comes. ”
Zichen behind couldn't help frowning. He had already discovered that the identity of the guard leader was only a domestic slave of the Wan family, but on the surface his words and deeds were extremely polite and polite, but in fact, he didn't take Wan Zhong seriously at all.
Even some lowly house slaves dare to play prestige like this, could it be that Wanzhong's life in the family is actually not easy? Zichen faintly felt that these eight or nine were not far from ten.
At this time, Wan Chong, who had lost face in front of Zichen, was very angry, pointed to the nose of the guard leader, and scolded: "Lai San, what do you want to do!"
