"Who wants to defy the law? Let me see."
At this moment, a voice came from behind. It turned out to be his sweetheart, Pang Jie, who had rushed over with a group of brothers. This group of brothers, of course, was the new city defense guards he had roped in. In addition to his own subordinates, there were also some city defense guards on the other side of the city gate.
Since he had money, Pang Jie had roped in a lot of people. Now, he already had more brothers than the veteran Captain Hong. With him standing here with his men, it would be difficult for Hong Huiwu to bend the law for personal gain.
"Captain Pang, why are you here?"
Captain Hong asked knowingly. In fact, he knew that the two shops in Northern Hell had Captain Pang's bonus. The reason why he rushed over must be that he had received the news. But it didn't matter. As long as he could catch the man red-handed, even Captain Pang would not be able to defend himself. It was better to make the matter bigger and let everyone know what had happened here.
"I heard that Captain Hong was going to catch a criminal, so I rushed over to help."
Pang Jie tilted his head and smiled. He thought to himself, Old Thing, you already know the answer. It won't be so easy to cause trouble for Brother Feng's store. If Beiming Sundry Goods Store was destroyed by you, where would I go to make money?
"That's good. Let's go in and check together."
"Everyone, please be witnesses. I'm going to check with Captain Pang now."
Captain Hong was cunning. He deliberately shouted loudly to let the residents of Temple Tang know that he was going to search Beiming Sundry Goods Store. In this way, even if they could not find anything, everyone would be afraid. If they found one or two contraband items, even if the shop was not closed, their reputation would be ruined.
"Okay, welcome."
Du Feng was the last one to arrive. He was followed by four concubines. As for Zhao Long and Cuiping, they were sent to the pet shop. The pets in the pet shop were all branded with soul imprints, so it was not easy to make mistakes. The two of them were enough to watch over them. The main problem was that the grocery store had a large stock and a wide variety of products, so it was easy to have problems.
"The presence of the two captains brings light to our humble restaurant."
"Let's take this opportunity to verify whether the goods in our shop are qualified."
What Captain Hong suggested was to go in and catch the criminal. Because checking the authenticity of goods was not within his scope of authority. But for some reason, Du Feng took the initiative to ask him to check the goods as well.
"Alright, since Boss Beiming has this intention, I'll do a thorough check."
Before Captain Hong could answer, Pang Jie agreed first. From an outsider's point of view, it looked like Pang Jie wanted to verify the authenticity of the goods in the Dark North Grocery Store. On the other hand, Captain Hong said that he wanted to arrest a criminal, but he didn't know what that meant.
Actually, the ultimate goal of arresting the criminal was to use the goods to frame the Dark North Miscellaneous Goods Store. Because what kind of employee to hire didn't involve breaking the law or violating the discipline. At most, it would just be using the wrong people. Since Du Feng agreed to check the goods, Captain Hong naturally agreed happily.
"How about this? I'll lead some people to search the grocery store on the first floor, while Captain Hong leads some people to search the pharmacy on the second floor. How about that?"
Hong Huiwu was worried that if Pang Jie's men followed him all the way, it would be difficult for him to frame them. If that was the case, they had made preparations for the pharmacy on the second floor.
"Thank you, Captain Pang. Please come in!"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Brothers, be careful and don't break anything."
Who was Pang Jie? Although he was just a crab demon cultivator, he was more intelligent than many human warriors. Asking his brothers to be careful and not break anything was actually a warning to Captain Hong's men to be careful and make them pay if they broke anything. The things in Brother Feng's store weren't something small people like you could touch casually.
Sure enough, after listening to Pang Jie's words, Captain Hong's subordinates all went up to the second floor quietly. They didn't dare to carry out their initial plan of smashing and robbing. They all heard that Captain Pang had been very close to the deputy chief captain recently. The reason why he could be promoted from a small captain to a senior captain was inseparable from the deputy chief captain.
"Search carefully, don't let go of any corner."
Although it was impossible to smash and rob, Captain Hong was confident that he could get the evidence. Therefore, he ordered his brothers to search carefully, and he himself went through the medicine cabinets one by one. After a while, many surrounding residents came one after another and watched the show in the store. With so many residents watching, it was even more impossible for them to smash and rob.
Here it is! Feeling that it was about time, Captain Hong went straight to a medicine cabinet, took out a bottle of elixir from the drawer, and then shouted, "Boss Beiming, come and explain. What's going on here with the Frenzied Demonic Pill? "
The Frenzied Demonic Pill was a kind of forbidden medicine that was not allowed to be sold in stores. Generally, it could only be bought in the black market or underground auction houses. Now that the Frenzied Demonic Pill was found on the second floor of Beiming Miscellaneous Goods Store, it was indeed a little troublesome.
"Frenzied Demonic Pill, what Frenzied Demonic Pill, Captain Hong isn't joking, right?"
Seeing this scene, Du Feng was not in a hurry, but Xiao Junhao was a little flustered. Because he clearly remembered that it was the medicine cabinet that Li Guangsi was guarding. It must be this bastard who secretly hid the forbidden medicine inside. What should I do, with so many people watching, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain.
"Hmph, now that you're caught red-handed, what else do you have to say? Bring me the witness."
Sure enough, Li Guangsi himself was hiding in the crowd, and when he saw the opportunity, he quickly ran out. The moment he opened his mouth, he accused Du Feng, saying that he secretly sold the Frenzied Demonic Pill. The whole story was well-made, and he even remembered what the customer looked like. For a moment, the surrounding residents did not know whether it was true or not. If it was true, their store could not continue operating, and the city lord's office would revoke Kendo's management rights.
"So it's Li Guangsi, this guy was unclean, and I fired him. He can't be a witness."
"That's right, this kid wanted to steal something from the store, and he was fired. Deliberate framing, he can't be a witness."
Seeing Du Feng say this, Xiao Junhao also hurriedly blamed Li Guangsi. Although he looked very strong-willed, he was actually not confident. Because as long as Captain Hong refused to give up, there would always be a chance to find fault with them. Moreover, with so many residents seeing it, it would be difficult to explain in the future.
"If there is really a framing, then it's because your store's management is bad. Why don't you come with me, Boss Beiming?"
