Soon after, Fang Han avoided Guard along the way and arrived at the Chamber of Commerce warehouse.
In front of the warehouse, four merchants Guard were taking a nap.
"Puff puff puff puff--"
Fang Han easily eliminated four people, broke the door lock, and pushed the door open.
The warehouse is very large and divided into upper and lower floors.
The first floor contains all kinds of rare ores, weapons, and armor; the second floor contains various commodities such as Danyao, medicinal materials, silks, and tea.
Fang Han calls out System Panel.
"Recharge."
One item after another disappeared quickly, and soon, all the items on the two floors disappeared.
[Possessed Wealth:9.93 million gold→10.18 million gold]
"10.18 million gold."
Fang Han's eyes fell on the ultimate wealth, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The wealth reaches 10.18 million gold, and the second goal of 10 million gold is achieved.
"Whoosh!"
He turned around and left the warehouse, climbed over the courtyard wall, and rushed outside Prefecture City in the gradually brightening sky.
Behind him, a faint scream came from the vermilion pavilion, followed immediately by noisy footsteps and roars.
Fang Han There is no looking back.
His figure quickly moved away, leaving only a faint Break the Wind sound that gradually dissipated in the morning air.
The early morning light shines through, coating the distant mountain ridges with a layer of pale gold.
"Whoosh!"
After climbing over the city wall of East Foothills Prefecture City, Fang Han did not rush to the next target. Instead, he bent his body and went deep into the dense forest to find a cave leeward.
The entrance to the cave is half-covered by hanging vines, making it extremely difficult to find unless you deliberately push it aside.
Push aside the vines and get in sideways. The hole is not deep, about three feet square.
The ground is dry, and there are still a few pieces of weathered and peeled gravel piled in the corner.
After confirming that no one was around, Fang Han sat down cross-legged in the cave, took out the dry food and water bag from Storage Ring, and ate two pieces of dry biscuits with water. The feeling of emptiness in his belly gradually subsided.
The reason why he didn't rush to the next target was because running thousands of miles overnight and traveling at full speed, even with his current mid-level first-level cultivation, his internal energy was extremely consumed.
Had to stop and rest.
"Buzz--"
He closed his eyes and <Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture> moved slowly.
Dark Green's Internal Qi rushes through the meridians. Wherever it passes, those meridians that were dull and astringent due to intense consumption gradually regain their moisture.
East Foothills Prefecture, Thunderlight Pavilion.
In the morning, in the bedroom deep in the main hall, Lei Qianting was lying fully clothed.
He has always slept very lightly. As the master of the pavilion, there are often urgent matters that need to be dealt with, so he has long been accustomed to this kind of intermittent rest.
A burst of rapid and panicked footsteps came from outside the hall, followed by the uncontrollable voice of the disciple on duty:
"Pavilion Master! Urgent report from the gold mine!"
Lei Qianting opened his eyes suddenly, and there was no trace of the mistiness in those deep eyes that he had just woken up.
He turned over and sat up, pushing open the bedroom door. Standing outside the door was a disciple who was short of breath from running at full speed, holding an urgent letter sealed with fire paint in his hand.
Lei Qianting took the letter, tore open the seal, and scanned the contents on the letter paper.
After just a few lines of writing, his fingers holding the letter suddenly tightened, and a layer of bluish white appeared on his knuckles.
"Gold stolen from gold mine warehouse?!"
He raised his head, his eyes filled with uncontrollable shock and anger.
"In less than half an hour, dozens of boxes of gold disappeared?"
Lei Qianting's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan". He quickly walked to the desk and slapped the letter on the table.
That large gold mine is one of the most important financial resources of Lei Guang Pavilion. The gold produced every year accounts for nearly 20% of Lei Guang Pavilion's total income. There is gold stored in the warehouse all year round.
Dozens of boxes of gold were emptied out in less than half an hour. If it weren't for an urgent summons, he might have thought someone was joking with him.
"Is it a gang of thieves?"
Lei Qianting whispered to himself, a trace of doubt flashed in his deep eyes.
To be able to quietly empty dozens of boxes of gold in half an hour, there couldn't be only one or two people, it must be a gang.
Only with enough people can dozens of boxes of gold be emptied quickly.
"Or maybe there is a high-level person inside the mine who is trying to steal things from others, and is cooperating with outsiders?"
In addition to the possibility that a gang of thieves committed the crime, there is also the possibility that there are insiders among the top management of the mine, who emptied the gold in the warehouse in batches, and then falsely reported that the gold was stolen.
Compared with the crime committed by a gang of thieves, he felt that the latter was more likely.
Because if a gang of thieves committed the crime, it would be difficult for such a large number of people to avoid the guards of the gold mine.
Lei Qianting ordered the disciple who had been standing by to deliver the urgent letter.
"Go and pass Yu Yuan Elder over."
Not long after, a thin figure quickly stepped into the hall.
Yu Yuan has a thin face, wearing a dark blue Elder robe, and said:
"Pavilion Master, are you calling me?"
Lei Qianting handed over the letter paper, Yu Yuan took it and looked at it, his expression changed slightly.
"Gold mine stolen?"
Yu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Lei Qianting.
Lei Qianting said in a deep voice:
"You are good at tracking. Go to the gold mine immediately and investigate carefully to find out how this batch of gold was stolen."
Yu Yuan solemnly handed over his hand. "Yes, I'll leave now."
He turned around and strode out of the main hall, his clothes rustling in the morning breeze, and soon disappeared at the end of the stone steps.
Lei Qianting stood in the corridor with his hands behind his hands, looking at Yu Yuan's retreating back, his brows still not loosening.
He always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness about this matter, and he felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
"I want to see who is so bold!"
Lei Qianting whispered to himself, a cold light flashed across his eyes.
Just as he was about to turn around and return to the palace, another burst of rapid footsteps came from the distance.
A disciple rushed over, breathing heavily, holding an urgent letter in his hand.
"Pavilion Master, Medicine Garden urgent report!"
Lei Qianting paused in his steps, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly became stronger.
He took the letter, tore open the seal, and glanced at the paper.
I saw it written inside that the Medicine Garden warehouse was stolen and hundreds of boxes of rare medicinal materials disappeared without a trace.
"Medicine Garden was also stolen?"
Lei Qianting's voice suddenly rose a little higher, and the anger on the originally calm face could no longer be suppressed.
Feeling the anger of Lei Qianting at this moment, the messenger disciple did not dare to express his anger. He lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head.
Lei Qianting's fingers holding the letter trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and was about to speak--
The third messenger disciple rushed into the hall from the side door and shouted breathlessly:
"Pavilion Master, Thunder-Iron Mine urgent report!"
Lei Qianting's face turned completely gloomy, he turned around suddenly and said in a hoarse voice:
"Bring it here."
The disciple was startled by Lei Qianting's gloomy look. He quickly stepped forward and handed the urgent letter from Thunder-Iron Mine to Lei Qianting.
Lei Qianting took it and checked it, his face became even more ugly. Just as he expected, Thunder-Iron Mine had also been stolen.
"All three major industries were stolen..."
Lei Qianting The hand holding the letter slowly dropped down, and his whole body seemed to be poured from head to toe by a basin of ice water.
Thunder-Iron Mine was stolen, which means that three major industries have been stolen.
The uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, the fourth messenger disciple rushed into the hall panting:
"Pavilion Master! Urgent report from the silver mine!"
Lei Qianting snatched the letter without waiting for the disciple to open his mouth and opened it to read--
The silver mine warehouse was also robbed, and all the silver in stock was stolen.
Thunderlight Pavilion Four of the five large industries were looted.
"Damn it!"
Lei Qianting Holding these four urgent reports, veins popped up on the back of his hands, but he suppressed the anger that almost broke through his chest in his throat.
At this moment, the fifth messenger disciple ran over panting and said.
"Pavilion Master, Thunderlight Trading Company urgent report."
Because the five major industries are not at the same distance from the Thunderlight Pavilion, the five major urgent reports almost arrived one after another.
Lei Qianting quickly took it and checked it. The suppressed anger could no longer be suppressed and erupted like a volcano.
"Overnight, all five major industries were stolen, with losses exceeding 100 million taels of silver..."
He spoke, his voice hoarse and low, with a chilling coldness.
Being able to have all five major Thunderlight Pavilion industries stolen overnight is definitely not something ordinary forces can accomplish.
Obviously, there is a mysterious force targeting Thunderlight Pavilion.
And I'm afraid this is not the end. The five major industries have been stolen, and the next ones that will be stolen are probably those medium-sized industries.
He gritted his teeth and ordered.
"If you pass the order, all industries will immediately transport the materials accumulated in the warehouses back to the sect without delay. Not a single piece of ore or a single medicinal plant is allowed to be left outside."
Several messenger disciples accepted the order and quickly exited the hall.
Lei Qianting stood alone in the hall, his eyes fell on the spread out urgent letters, and he tapped his fingers slowly on the edge of the table twice, making two dull thuds.
"Which force is it?"
He whispered to himself, a cold light flashing across his deep eyes.
"No matter which force did it, I, Thunderlight Pavilion, will never give up!"
"Shua--"
Fang Han slowly opened his eyes, and the brilliant light of Dark Green in his eyes flashed away, and then returned to calm.
Internal Qi in the body has returned to fullness, and the dull feeling of astringency in the meridians due to intense consumption has completely subsided.
"Crackling--"
He stood up and moved his somewhat stiff muscles, making a fine crackling sound from the joints.
Outside the cave, the morning sun is shining brightly.
Fang Han pushed aside the vines and walked out of the cave. The dry autumn mountain wind blew over his cheeks, carrying the smell of fallen leaves and earth.
"Thunderlight Pavilion should have already reacted and will most likely order the industries under his sect to transfer materials, but this will definitely take time."
Fang Han stood on the ridge with his hands behind his hands, looking in the direction of the Thunderlight Pavilion where one of the medium-sized industries was located.
"Whoosh!"
His body swayed, and the green-robed figure dragged out a faint shadow in the morning sun and swept in this direction.
About two hours later, a medium-sized city appeared at the end of the field of vision.
The city wall is not high, and pedestrians come and go at the city gate.
Fang Han slowed down and walked through the doorway with the flow of people entering the city without attracting anyone's attention.
In this city, there is Thunderlight Pavilion a shop that buys medicinal materials. Based on Rain Listening Tower's information, Fang Han quickly found this shop that bought medicinal materials.
Although it is only a medium-sized property under the name Thunderlight Pavilion, it is not small in scale and occupies a large area in the city. From time to time, you can see herbal collectors coming to sell medicinal materials.
