the other side.
Huo Mansion.
Huo Tingxing was having breakfast contentedly.
Although some things happened last night that made him angry, fortunately he regained his confidence with his wife.
He ate his meal with a cheerful look on his face, and even forgot to ask about what happened last night.
Today is also the day when the servants receive their salaries, and they look very excited.
Seeing that Huo Ting was in a good mood, no one mentioned what happened last night.
Mrs. Huo put a piece of chicken leg in his bowl and said shyly, "Master, eat more to replenish your body. You worked hard last night."
Huo Tingxing laughed heartily, and looked at Mrs. Huo with gentle and meaningful eyes.
"Madam, eat too. You've worked hard too."
While the two of them were happily having their meal.
The accounting clerk stumbled in.
"Master, it's bad, it's bad!"
Huo Tingxing's face stinks. "How shameless it is to rush around like this. Who is not good enough in the morning?"
The accountant knelt down in panic, "Master, it's not you who's unwell, it's all of us."
Huo Tingxing frowned. "What happened?"
The accountant said tremblingly: "Master, the warehouse... the warehouse has been robbed!"
Huo Tingxing stood up at once, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.
"what?"
"The warehouse was robbed, robbed!"
The accountant slapped his thigh and repeated it again.
He had gone out to get the silver to pay his servants, but as soon as he touched the lock, it fell to the ground with a clang.
He had a bad feeling in his heart, and when he opened the door he found the warehouse empty.
He was scared to death and hurried to find Huo Tingxing.
Huo Tingxing no longer had any interest in eating and ran to the warehouse in a hurry.
He couldn't help but think of what happened last night. Could it be that those men in black stole his warehouse?
Rushing to the warehouse, Huo Tingxing couldn't wait to push the door open.
Looking at the empty warehouse, he almost fainted.
His eyes were red and he gritted his teeth.
"Who, who the hell, dares to steal from me? Investigate it. If I find out who it is, I will tear him into pieces."
Some servants followed him to the warehouse and were surprised to see this scene.
There was originally a gloating expression on his face, but when he remembered that today was the day to pay wages, the gloating expression on his face disappeared instantly.
Instead, I was worried that there was no hope of getting paid today given the current situation.
A servant asked cautiously and tentatively, "Master, are you still paying us today?"
Huo Tingxing looked at the servant with a sinister look and said angrily, "Get out, get out!"
The servant shrank back and quickly lowered his head.
Huo Tingxing was so angry that he almost died. He couldn't imagine who could have emptied his warehouse.
Not to mention his treasures, they were enough to fill up an entire room.
He now suspected the group of people who came last night.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Go, call Wang De to me."
Wang De was the captain of the guard last night.
Soon, Wang De was invited over by the servants.
He looked at Huo Tingxing's frustrated look and thought to himself that it was not good.
He raised his hand to Huo Tingxing, "Master."
Huo Tingxing was on the verge of rage at the moment, squinting his eyes and looking at Wang De.
"Who were those people last night?"
Wang De's heart skipped a beat.
They hadn't kept up with the gang at all last night.
Now facing Huo Tingxing, he can only lower his head and say, "I... don't know."
Huo Tingxing couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him with a palm.
Wang De fell to the ground with a thud, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He didn't dare to cry out in pain and quickly got up. "Master, they have some unknown thing in their hands. It's extremely powerful. We were fooled and lost several brothers."
Huo Tingxing paused when he heard this, "What?"
"I didn't know that a small iron ball could explode with such powerful force."
Huo Tingxing took a deep breath. "A small iron ball defeated you? It seems that I am too relaxed on you. All useless things, go to the training ground for training."
Huo Tingxing gritted his teeth as he found no clues from Wang De.
Looking at the empty warehouse with bloodshot eyes, he went in furiously and smashed the boxes that were originally filled with gold and silver but were now empty.
For a moment, there was a crackling sound in the warehouse and wood chips flew everywhere.
Suddenly, he found a piece of broken silver on a box, and there seemed to be something underneath the silver.
He squinted his eyes, reached out to take the silver away, and found a small note underneath the silver.
He picked it up and took a look at the small, strong handwriting, which made him frown.
He had never seen such small handwriting, and the ink used did not seem to be ordinary ink.
When he read the content carefully, he was so angry that smoke came out of his head.
The note read:
Thank you for visiting here!
Provocation, full of provocation!
He was furious and held the note tightly in his hand.
"It doesn't make sense, it simply doesn't make sense!"
They looted his warehouse and left such an infuriating note, showing that they simply didn't take him seriously.
His chest ached from the heat and he had to take deep breaths.
He covered his chest and took two steps back, then finally fell straight down.
The servants were in a panic.
"The master has fainted, go get a doctor!"
"But we don't have money to hire a doctor!"
"..."
Looking at the only piece of silver in Huo Tingxing's hand, the servant was in disarray in the wind.
The Huo family now only has this small piece of silver.
"Go find the Madam, she has some private money!"
……
Shi Xiaoxiao came to Shi Yuan's study.
She was shivering with cold, but she had no internal energy and couldn't use it to dispel the cold.
It seems that she will not have a good time this winter, but fortunately she has the cold-resistant rhinoceros that Shi Yuan had obtained from Minister Qian.
Shi Yuan saw Shi Xiaoxiao coming over and hurriedly stood up to look at her. "Xiaoxiao, why are you here? The weather is cold. Don't run around if you have nothing to do. You might catch a cold."
There was a charcoal fire burning in Shi Yuan's study, and it was warm as soon as he came in.
She let out a long breath and said with a smile, "It's okay, Daddy. It's just a short distance. I won't get cold."
Shi Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Xiaoxiao, is there something you want to talk about?"
"Xiaoxiao has found out what she investigated for Daddy."
Upon hearing this, Yuan's eyes narrowed, "Who is it?"
Shi Xiaoxiao opened her red lips slightly: "Mr. Huo Tingxing, the councilor!"
Shi Yuan frowned slightly, "Is it him?"
"Yes, maybe Daddy misjudged him before. He is indeed Mo Qing's master, but I think there must be someone behind the scenes."
"You mean, Huo Tingxing was instructed by someone?"
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes deepened slightly as she nodded, "Although he may have been instructed by someone, he is also one of the people who harmed us. We must not let him go easily."
Shi Yuan nodded and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao in agreement, "Xiaoxiao, do you have any good ideas?"
