This Side Effect is Awesome

As soon as Liu Yuanqing's words fell, many people responded loudly.

"Yes, that's the way to do it. After torture, he will definitely confess."

"What Hao Jiyong did was to push us to our death, why should we be polite to him?"

"Everyone listens to Manager Liu, so let's take down that bastard Hao Jiyong."

...

After the talk was useless, under the instigation of Liu Yuanqing, everyone was ready to be tough.

Seeing this scene, Hao Jiyong's wife and daughter stopped in front of Hao Jiyong, preventing the people from the village from arresting Hao Jiyong, and defended Hao Jiyong with tears streaming down his face.

"Dear uncles and sisters, don't you know who my husband is? How have you ever taken other people's needles and stitches in these years, and even helped you a lot? He definitely didn't do this, and he can't do this kind of madness." things."

"Daddy didn't steal anything, so don't catch Daddy, woohoo."

"My dad has been working in the warehouse for so long, and he doesn't even take advantage of a small advantage. How could he steal those precious medicinal materials? Please let my dad go."

...

Looking at the rather miserable family, Song Ankang frowned: "Is this a plan to torture you? If Hao Jiyong can't bear to confess, what will happen?"

"This..." Qiu Shi hesitated for a moment, but still said seriously: "According to the family rules, if you have stolen so many precious medicinal materials and affected your tax payment this year, you will definitely be killed, even if you sue the government."

"Will you be killed like this..." Song Ankang was stunned. He didn't expect to be killed just because of stealing something. The rules here are too cruel.

But thinking about the possible impact of doing so, Song Ankang understands how many people will starve to death this year.

However, in the absence of definite evidence to prove that Hao Jiyong was responsible for this incident, Song Ankang would not be able to accept that he would have to torture him to extract a confession and then kill him.

Even though it is the rule here to kill thieves, people should die clearly.

So even if the next move might make his reputation worse in Chaoyun Farm, he might even be sued to the Tang Mansion in Kyoto.

If Hao Jiyong's innocence could not be proved, he might lose his position as the owner of Chaoyun Farm, but Song Ankang still decided to do so.

After all, he is the owner of Chaoyun Grange. In theory, he can decide anything about Chaoyun Grange, and he also has the power to decide about Chaoyun Grange, let alone such a big matter as murder.

Song Ankang had no choice but to watch Hao Jiyong die like this, and then his family was ruined. The Hao Jiyong family lost their pillars, and it was difficult to survive this cruel year of drought.

Song Ankang couldn't bear to see the two teenagers who were crying so badly that they were in human shape, and the pretty woman.

So Song Ankang stepped firmly and walked towards Hao Jiyong's family who were being torn apart.

Even if he got it wrong this time, with his special physique, Song Ankang will always have the moment when he soars to the sky. If this incident makes his mind dusty, it will be too worthless.

"stop!"

The clear and bright voice was the only countercurrent at this time, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention. When they saw that the person who shouted this sentence was the new owner of Chaoyun Farm, many people frowned, especially Liu Yuanqing.

However, although everyone disdained Song Ankang's management ability in the farm, but the name of the first filial son in Kyoto was loud enough, so everyone stopped pulling Hao Jiyong and looked at him indifferently.

Jiang Yunhe, who followed suit behind him, was also surprised by Song Ankang's sudden movement, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Liu Yuanqing bit the bullet and asked, apparently the events of the previous few days cast a shadow on his mind.

Song Ankang glanced at the surrounding farmers,

Looking at Liu Yuanqing, he said, "Just because of some personal speculations and conjectures, you want to conclude that the theft in the warehouse was done by Hao Jiyong. Don't you have any other conclusive evidence?"

"Conclusive evidence?" Liu Yuanqing was taken aback: "What conclusive evidence, isn't this conclusive evidence?"

Song Ankang was speechless: "The conclusive evidence I said is, has anyone witnessed Hao Jiyong stealing the precious medicinal materials from the warehouse, or found the key he stole?"

"This...not this one." Liu Yuanqing shook his head: "But he has the motive to steal the precious medicinal materials in the warehouse, and at the same time, he often stays out at night for about half a month, and someone saw him selling a ten-year-old ginseng plant. , Aren’t these all evidence, enough to confirm that this matter is what he did.”

Song Ankang frowned: "I remember that there are people guarding the warehouse day and night, especially at the gate. Since you said that Hao Jiyong opened the gate to steal precious medicinal materials through a key that was secretly allocated, can't the guards see it? "

"Eh..." Liu Yuanqing showed embarrassment, hesitated to speak, but soon someone in the crowd answered for him.

"In the past few months, no one has been assigned to take care of the warehouse at night, because it requires another monthly salary. Manager Liu felt that it was a waste, so he canceled it."

...

Song Ankang looked at Liu Yuanqing: "Is that so?"

"I have been managing the warehouse for many years, and I have never been stolen in the past ten years, so...so I think the night guard is useless, so I canceled it." Liu Yuanqing had sweat on his forehead.

Song Ankang sneered: "If this is the case, you should also be responsible for the theft of the warehouse, and why this matter was not reported, or do you think it is a trivial matter to guard the warehouse, and there is no need to report it, so you can Make your own decision."

"Master, forgive me. This matter is all the villain's fault. Please punish the owner." Liu Yuanqing's face turned ashen, and he also knew that he was responsible for this matter, so he wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, and it was best to recover the stolen goods. The precious medicinal materials, otherwise the punishment of the family will never be light.

After all, although the number of stolen medicinal materials is not large, they are all the most precious batches, and the worst ones are ten-year-old ginseng, which can catch up to about 10% of the harvest of Zhaoyun Tianzhuang in normal years.

Seeing Liu Yuanqing admitting his mistake, Song Ankang sneered: "Let's talk about the punishment separately. Let me ask you, after you found out that Hao Jiyong was selling ginseng for ten years, did you ask the store where he sold it and whether Hao Jiyong still sells it there?" Have you tried other precious medicinal materials?"

"Not really." Liu Yuanqing shook his head: "We have asked about all the pharmacies in Tongxin Town. Hao Jiyong only sold a 10-year-old ginseng in one pharmacy. The other medicinal materials are not sold in Tongxin Town. They should be sold in other places." It is sold in an unknown place, so avoid being discovered by us."

Song Ankang smiled: "Since Hao Jiyong has such a secret sales channel, why did he go to the pharmacy in Tongxin Town to sell a ten-year-old ginseng openly? Could it be that his brain is flooded, or your brains are flooded gone."
