Chapter 10: Stealing a chicken but losing the rice! 【Please vote】

A happy life always makes people happy.

Ever since he spent 20 taels to activate the 10x idle mode, Wei Han's strength has been changing dramatically every day, so that he has been living a very comfortable life.

No need to study hard or work hard!

Just by wandering around the warehouse a few times every day and tasting various nourishing herbs, you can achieve what others would have to work ten or a hundred times harder to achieve.

Witnessing his own growing strength day by day, this kind of excitement makes him very happy every day.

But after a few days of comfort, trouble came quietly.

One evening when he was about to finish work and go to the kitchen to eat, Chen Zhihong, along with a few of his younger brothers, as well as the pharmacy owner Pu Xingxian and Manager Xu, blocked him.

"Mr. Pu, Manager Xu!" Wei Han bowed in surprise: "What are you doing?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hold it down first and search it for me!"

Chen Zhihong waved his hand and several of his younger brothers pounced on him like wolves and tigers.

He simply held Wei Han down and began to search his body.

"you?"

Wei Han pretended to be shocked and angry, but he was not panicked at all!

After all, he had long expected that he would be targeted, so he had already anticipated it.

Moreover, in just over half a month, he had achieved minor success in the Hun Yuan Gong and mastered the Five Animal Secrets, and his single-arm strength exceeded 1,300 kilograms.

If he really wanted to resist, he could just raise his hand and throw everyone away.

How could a few weak men hold him down?

"Brother Chen, no!"

"Strange, nothing"

After searching for a while, the younger brothers shook their heads with grim expressions.

"You bastard!" Manager Xu also got excited at this time and said angrily, "If you can't find anything, just let it go. You want to wrongly accuse me, right?"

“Let go!”

Pu Xingxian also snorted seriously.

The younger brothers laughed awkwardly and let go.

Wei Han then asked in shock: "Manager Xu, Mr. Pu, what's going on? Do you think I'm a thief?"

"Isn't it?" Manager Xu sneered sarcastically, "Some people have concluded that you are a medicine thief, so they reported you to Mr. Pu and brought us here to search us."

"What?" Wei Han cried out in surprise, "Mr. Pu, you can't listen to nonsense. I have never done this before."

"Boy!" Chen Zhihong said angrily, "You think I can't do anything to you if I can't find it today, right?"

"Shut up, everyone!"

Pu Xingxian interrupted the quarrel with a cold snort.

He looked at Chen Zhihong with sharp eyes and said in a cold voice: "Since you firmly believe that he is a thief, then show us the evidence instead of just talking nonsense here."

"Humph!" Chen Zhihong sneered, raised his hand, took a warehouse account book from his younger brother, handed it over and said, "Shopkeeper, you can take a look for yourself. Since Wei Han entered the warehouse, 87 kinds of medicinal materials in this warehouse have been short of weight, a total of 109 pounds, 6 ounces and 3 cents are missing. This has never happened before. Even if he is not caught on the spot, he cannot escape responsibility!"

"Um?"

Pu Xingxian's face changed.

He grabbed the account book and started looking through it carefully.

And the more he looked, the more gloomy his face became.

"See?" Chen Zhihong sneered, "They are all warming tonics, and they are very valuable. If one or half a pound of each is missing, it would be more than a hundred taels of silver. Manager Xu specially arranged for this kid to come to the warehouse. Maybe the two of them teamed up to steal."

"You're talking nonsense!" Manager Xu was so angry that his veins were throbbing.

Wei Han's expression remained calm, and he even felt like laughing in his heart.

That’s it? I've known for a long time that Chen Zhihong and others wanted to deal with him, but aren't these methods a bit too lame?

Do you really think he is the kind of cowardly boy who has never seen the world and will kneel down and beg for mercy after a few lies?

Besides, he didn't eat more than 100 kilograms. At most, he only ate 7 or 8 kilograms. The rest might not be their own loss, right?

"how do you say?"

Pu Xingxian did not start shouting for war and killing.

Instead, he stared at Wei Han seriously and allowed him to argue on his own.

"Mr. Pu!" Wei Han said indifferently, "The shortage of medicinal materials in the warehouse is indeed a very serious matter, but this does not prove that I stole the medicinal materials and sold them, right?"

"You still dare to be stubborn?" Chen Zhihong pressed on, "We all saw you stealing herbs in the warehouse. A few days ago you even asked for half a day off to go out. Do you dare to say that you didn't secretly take herbs to sell?"

"Where's the evidence? Which pharmacy did I sell the herbs to? With our pharmacy's capabilities, there's no way we can't find out about such a large amount, right?" Wei Han asked in surprise, "My family members died or got lost during the escape. Is it not possible for me to take half a day off to go out and find out the whereabouts of my neighbors?"

"Besides, isn't there a rule that prohibits eating medicinal herbs in the warehouse? I did eat medicinal herbs in the warehouse, but I didn't eat them secretly. I ate them openly! Which of the doctors in our pharmacy is not an expert in both medicine and medicine, and learned by tasting hundreds of herbs?"

"If you don't try the herbs, how can you know their properties and characteristics? Is it possible that such a big pharmacy doesn't allow me to try a few herbs? Even restaurants don't restrict chefs from tasting dishes!"

Wei Han's series of words immediately left Chen Zhihong and others speechless.

There was a hint of smile in the eyes of Pu Xingxian and Manager Xu.

"That's right!" Manager Xu said with a smile, "When I was a errand boy apprentice, I had to taste every medicinal herb myself. What's wrong with eating some? Which medical apprentice doesn't taste medicinal herbs? You don't think he can eat more than a hundred kilograms, do you?"

"Chen Zhihong, all this is just your guess." Pu Xingxian frowned and said, "You don't have any evidence to accuse Wei Han of stealing medicinal herbs and selling them, right?"

Chen Zhihong smiled coldly and said, "According to the rules of the pharmacy, if there is a major suspect, the Chen family rules can be used. If you don't believe it, you can torture them to extract a confession."

"Nonsense!" Pu Xingxian said angrily, "You want to force me to confess under torture despite such an obvious false accusation. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

"Mr. Pu, I have been ostracized and isolated ever since I entered the warehouse. Since some people think that I am blocking their path to wealth and are willing to frame me, why not torture a few of us together and see who can't bear it first!" Wei Han said with a smile.

"you?"

Chen Zhihong and others were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

They never expected that they would end up losing more than they gained.

Wei Han still dares to set fire to them?

"That's enough!" Pu Xingxian scolded coldly, "You guys usually use some tricks to pass off inferior goods as good ones. I don't bother to deal with you without evidence. Now you want to slander and exclude good people? Do you really think the warehouse is yours?"

"Boss, we don't have that..." Chen Zhihong retorted with his neck stiff.

"Shut up!" Pu Xingxian said impatiently, "Don't think I won't punish you just because you are a branch of the Chen family. Hurry up and make up for the missing herbs, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

In just a few words!

Pu Xingxian has already characterized the incident!

Chen Zhihong stared with his eyes wide open in dissatisfaction, and his back teeth were almost broken!

"Wei Han, I heard from Manager Xu that you performed the best among all the apprentices." Pu Xingxian said in a gentle voice, "I feel sorry for what happened just now. I wonder what compensation you would like?"

"I don't deserve the compensation!" Wei Han was naturally not polite and directly said, "I have been dealing with medicinal materials since I was a child. I have memorized the "Basic Medicinal Material Identification Atlas" a few days ago. I wonder if I can have the opportunity to learn medical skills in advance?"

"Don't be too ambitious!" Pu Xingxian didn't believe him and shook his head, "But the pharmacy is indeed short of people recently. You have talent, so it would be good for you to learn some skills in advance!"

"How about this, from now on you will go to the pharmacy to do odd jobs in the morning and help out in the warehouse in the afternoon. This will be considered as you passing the assessment in advance, and your monthly salary will be paid according to the third-class physician apprentice."

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Wei Han nodded happily and agreed.

He didn't care at all about the gloomy faces of Chen Zhihong and others.
