Chapter 7: Time for Theft
The lobby is still the lobby, the people are still those people, at this time Ye Hao has returned to the lobby, he looked at the deputy pavilion master, and then his eyes swept over the three stewards, and finally fixed his gaze on a medicine boy.
This medicine boy was the one he had seen before, and it seemed to be caused by an error in his cultivation.
"You're back before you reach six hours, what's the matter? You gave up?" The deputy pavilion master's expression was flat, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart, but there was a trace of pity in his tone.
What is he sorry for? Is he pity Ye Hao? No one knows, not even Ye Hao.
"No, I'm going to ask a few questions. Ye Hao's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the deputy pavilion master and said slowly.
"What's the problem?" said the deputy cabinet master.
"The first question is whether there is a storage of herbs in the Tibetan Medicine Building these days. Ye Hao asked.
"Ram Ru, this Tibetan medicine building has always been in charge of you, is there any medicine storage today?" The deputy pavilion master turned his head, his eyes flickered, and asked the Suyi steward.
"My lord, yesterday was the day of the harvest of the marrow leaves of the sixth field and the ninth field. The plain clothes steward swept Ye Hao's eyes before he respectfully reported.
"Is the stolen marrow washing leaf stolen tonight just collected yesterday?" Ye Hao's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly asked.
The plain clothes steward snorted coldly, and didn't bother to answer the other party's question at all, he was the three major stewards of the medicine pavilion, how could he answer a medicine boy's question casually, this would definitely lose his identity.
Answer him. The deputy pavilion master simply didn't know the relationship, and then he spoke under duress.
The plain clothes steward's eyes swept Ye Hao again, his face was a little gloomy, and he replied: "The stolen marrow leaves tonight are indeed stored yesterday, but this medicinal herb was found in your room, you are the most suspicious, and you are the most likely to become this thief." ”
"Steward, let me ask you again, is this stolen marrow washing leaf collected from the sixth field or the ninth?" Ye Hao didn't care about the other party's threat, but asked indifferently.
"The ninth block. The housekeeper looked at the deputy pavilion master before replying.
"Is it the ninth piece?" Ye Hao was a little surprised, it seemed to be a little different from what he had guessed in his heart, and then he spoke again: "Pavilion Master, can you take a look at the information of the person in charge of the sixth and ninth fields." ”
"Give it to him. The deputy pavilion master said something, so he sent two wooden tablets from the lobby and arrived in front of Ye Hao.
Ye Hao's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to take the two wooden tablets in his hand, and at the same time, his divine sense swept away, and the information of the two suddenly appeared in his mind.
Name: Tan Shaoyu, the person in charge of the sixth field, was born in a martial arts family, before he went up the mountain, he had already cultivated a good leg method, and when he became a disciple of the outer sect, he had a fighting record.
Name: Qiu Ming, the person in charge of the ninth field, before he went to the mountain, he had already cultivated an iron sand palm, which could easily crack the stone, and at the age of twenty-five, he was already one of the best masters in the southern rivers and lakes.
"It's the two of them? Maybe I should have guessed it a long time ago, but how did they avoid the divine sense of the Tibetan Medicine Building silently?" After reading the information of these two people, Ye Hao was even more puzzled.
The Tibetan Medicine Pavilion is the most important area of the fifth peak, it is definitely heavily guarded, don't say a person, even a mosquito can't fly in, although Qiu Ming and Tan Feiyu are both martial arts masters, the eaves are naturally not a problem, but this is the place of cultivating immortals, and the so-called eaves and walls in the rivers and lakes are here, which is not of much use.
It was because of these thoughts that Ye Hao was absolutely even more confusing about all this.
"Pavilion Master, this entire Shangheng Sect can come and go freely in the Tibetan Medicine Building, can you..."
"Except for those who are simply impossible, there are definitely no more than ten people. The deputy pavilion master seemed to know what Ye Hao wanted to ask, so he immediately interrupted: "The old man reminds you that your time is running out, don't waste it." ”
"That's natural, and I want to go to a place at the end. Ye Hao said.
"Where is it?" said the deputy pavilion master.
"Tibetan Medicine Building. Ye Hao's eyes were firm, and he replied in a deep voice.
The Tibetan Medicine Building is the most important place in the fifth peak, not only is there a formation shrouded, but there are also many strong people in charge, after all, this Tibetan Medicine Building is related to the supply of pills to the entire Shangheng Sect, so naturally there can be no mistakes.
Therefore, Ye Hao only had six hours to prove his innocence at the moment, this is not to say how precious his life is, but the deputy pavilion master wants to know who can steal this marrow washing leaf so silently.
The moonlight in the sky was gradually fading, which meant that the six hours were soon to pass.
On the first floor of the Herbal Medicine Building, there are herbs used to build the foundation here, which are very precious, and they are rarely able to come in on weekdays, but at this moment, there are a full fourteen people here, of which thirteen are naturally the deputy pavilion master, the three major stewards and nine medicine boys, including Ye Hao.
"You can get started. The deputy pavilion master said lukewarmly, no one could know what he was thinking.
"Okay!" Ye Hao responded, and immediately checked it out in this Tibetan medicine building.
To tell the truth, he is still the first time to come to this Tibetan medicine building, and he is very unfamiliar with everything, but at this moment it is not time to play, he still needs to solve the case and find out the person who really stole this marrow leaf, otherwise he will never see the sun tomorrow again, he believes in the ruthless methods of this deputy pavilion master.
Nearly half an hour later, Ye Hao returned to the front of the deputy pavilion master and the others, his expression changed, making it difficult for people to understand.
"I saw the book that records the daily storage of medicinal herbs just now, why haven't I seen yesterday's record on it?" Ye Hao asked the fourteenth person at this moment.
His name is Cha'an, and he is one of the people who record the entry and exit of each plant in this Tibetan medicine building, and it is his turn to be on duty for the past three days.
"He's right, you were also on duty yesterday, why didn't you record it?" At this moment, it was the deputy pavilion master who spoke, and as soon as his words fell, Cha An's face changed, and he was suddenly frightened, and the next moment he knelt down without hesitation.
"My lord, that marrow washing leaf is really not a small thief, and I want to see it!" Cha An's face immediately turned pale, he didn't have Ye Hao's concentration, his body trembled slightly, and he quickly explained: "Here's the thing, yesterday's herb storage was a little later than usual, so the little one wants to record it again today, this kind of thing is not just me doing it alone, the other two senior brothers are also the same, this thief is really not me." ”
"Noise, you shut up the old man now. The deputy pavilion master swept over with cold eyes, and Cha An was silent for a moment, standing there, seeing how honest he was.
"Are you saying that this kind of thing of recording and storing herbs is sometimes placed on the second day?" Ye Hao seemed to have caught something, and hurriedly asked.
Seeing this, Cha An was about to speak, but the deputy pavilion master didn't let him open his mouth just now, and after hesitating, he glanced at the deputy pavilion master.
"Why are you still stunned, he asks you to say it. "When the deputy pavilion master saw such a stupid person, he suddenly became angry, how could this person be so stupid that he was still chosen to be the recorder of this Tibetan medicine building.
Cha An saw that the deputy pavilion master signaled him to speak, so he slowly spoke: "Yes, there has been a precedent for this kind of thing before, and it often happened later, but the small guarantee is not because of laziness, but when the two medicine boys came to store it yesterday, it was indeed very late." ”
"At what time, do you remember?" Ye Hao then asked.
"At what hour?" Cha'an thought for a moment and said, "I remember the first medicine boy was around the hour, and the second..."
"What? Ye Hao's eyes flashed, as if he knew something.
"Huh?" Cha An slowly repeated the sentence with apprehension.
"I remember the first medicine boy was when he was in the middle of the day, what's wrong, is there a problem with this sentence?"
"No, no, you go on. Ye Hao's heart beat wildly with a look of ecstasy, and motioned for the other party to continue.
"The first one is in the middle of the hour, and the second one is in the unitary time, and after half an hour in between, I remember it without being wrong. Cha'an seemed pleased with his memory.
"There's a question I want to ask you. Ye Hao's eyes flickered, stared at Cha'an and asked, "Since you said that yesterday was delayed until today because it was too late, and when you recorded today, you have already found that the herbs were stolen, can this be the case?"
Cha An nodded, agreeing with Ye Hao's words.
"It seems that the time of the theft of the marrow leaf is a little different from what I thought. Ye Hao sat down, immersed in his inner world.
His face changed from time to time, and the deputy pavilion master and the others did not say anything, waiting for him, but except for the deputy pavilion master and Charlie, everyone's eyes were full of indifference.
The theft of this marrow washing leaf cannot be investigated clearly at all, because no one has proved anything, and in the end, the herbs were found in Ye Hao's room, which is undoubtedly that he is a substitute for the dead.
The deputy pavilion master also had some pity in his heart at the moment, but in the end, he didn't expect that the real culprit had not been found, he had gone from the first level of qi cultivation to the current late stage of foundation building, how could he not know that this culprit was not Ye Hao at all.
But there is no way, washing the marrow leaf is the main thing in refining Zhuji Dan, it is not easy to grow, it is very precious, and this medicine pavilion is not his alone, so naturally he can't cover anyone, not to mention that he and Ye Hao are only one side, even if he has a heart of love and talent, it is useless.
Time passed moment by moment, the deputy pavilion master did not make a sound, those people naturally did not make a sound, and Ye Hao did not make a sound.
The plain clothes steward glanced at it, and suddenly said: "Tell the pavilion master, six hours have come, and he hasn't found the culprit yet, should we?"
When the deputy pavilion master heard the sound, he looked at Ye Hao, and saw where the other party was muttering and didn't know what he was talking about, he sighed and said, "Give him some more time, it's not bad anyway." ”
