Lancaster stood up directly. He thought he might be hallucinating, so he shouted to Lance:

"Say what you just said again!"

Lance had no choice but to report the information just now:

"When I got back to the shed, the milk tank and the pups were gone."

Lancaster, who heard the same words as before, finally confirmed that it was not that he was hallucinating, but that the big milk cans were really gone!

He sat back in his seat, not knowing what to say for a moment. This blow was too big for him.

It was Herman who reacted in time. He pulled Lance up and asked loudly with an angry face:

"What do you mean all the big milk cans disappeared? How did you take care of them? Did they escape? Why didn't you send someone to look for them?"

Faced with this series of questions, Lance didn't even dare to wipe the spittle Herman sprayed on his face, and quickly replied:

"When I visited the shack with the guests from Guanhai City, the big milk cans were still in the shack. But when you and I said goodbye to those guests and returned to the shack, we found that the big milk cans were gone. .”

“The time in between was very short, and even if they escaped, they could not run very far, but they were not found around the shack, and there were no militiamen or residents to report the situation, which shows that the big milk tanks did not escape on their own. "

"When I discovered that they were missing, I immediately searched around the shack, but I still didn't see them. Before I came to report the situation to you, I also sent people out to look for them and asked them to notify us as soon as they have any news. .”

Lance knew that every word he said now was related to his life, so he answered very logically.

First, he explained that the big milk jug was not lost while he was in charge. At that time, he was saying goodbye to the guests in Guanhai City.

Then he said that the big milk tank did not run away by himself, but disappeared for other reasons, once again absolving himself of responsibility.

Finally, he explained that he hadn't done anything and had already sent someone to find the big milk can.

In short, in one sentence, although the big milk jug was lost, I did not neglect my duty.

Herman naturally heard the meaning of Lance's words. He loosened his hand holding Lance's collar and said with a puzzled look on his face:

"You mean, when you took the guests from Guanhai City to visit, the big milk jug was still in the shack, but when you just saw off the guests, the big milk jug disappeared?"

"Yes."

Lance saw that the anger on Herman's face had dissipated a lot, and he knew that he had passed one level, but the most difficult level had not been passed yet, and it still depended on Baron Lancaster's attitude.

Lancaster also gradually recovered from the blow. He understood in his heart that since the big milk jug had been lost, the most important thing now was to find out the reason why the big milk jug was lost, and then find the big milk jug. .

"I remember that it didn't take long when you sent those guests off. Just like Director Lance said, it's impossible for a big milk can to travel far in such a short time."

"But no one around found any trace of them, which is a bit strange. They can't evaporate out of thin air, right?"

Lancaster was also very confused. The big milk cans were not small in size and there were many of them. Whether they escaped or were stolen, there would be no movement at all.

But the fact is that no one witnessed the big milk cans, they just disappeared out of thin air, which is really incredible.

"Scribe Herman, how do you think the big milk cans disappeared?"

Lancaster turned to Herman and asked.

"This subordinate doesn't know. Why don't you ask Director Lance? He is the director of the ranch and is familiar with large milk tanks. Maybe he will have some insights."

Herman didn’t know how the big milk tank disappeared, but as the director of the ranch, Lance was always responsible and obliged to explain the matter.

"Director Lance, do you have any guesses about the disappearance of the big milk jug?"

"I do have some guesses, but I don't dare to say."

Lance said tremblingly.

"How long has this been? I'm still whining here. If you have any guesses, tell me immediately!"

Herman said anxiously from the side.

Lancaster waved his hand to signal Herman not to worry, and then said softly to Lance:

"I know the big milk jug was lost and you blame yourself, but as you just said, this matter has little to do with you, so don't put too much burden on yourself and just say what you think. It will also help us find the big milk tank faster."

Although Lancaster was very angry that Lance had lost the big milk jug, he also knew that it had nothing to do with Lance and that Lance had done nothing wrong.

So he didn't say anything harsh to Lance. Now he just wanted to figure out the cause of the matter quickly and get the big milk jug back.

As for how to punish Lance, that is a matter for the future.

Seeing that Lancaster was not angry, Lance was relieved. His fearful look just now was three-thirds real, and the remaining seventy-four percent was just fake.

He just wanted to pretend to be pitiful so as to win Lancaster's sympathy. He knew that his lord was a relatively weak person.

As long as he shirks the responsibility and pretends to be innocent, there is a high chance that he will be forgiven by Baron Lancaster and his life will be saved.

Therefore, Lance did not hesitate any longer and directly stated his guess:

"Lord Baron, I suspect that this matter was done by those people from Guanhai City. Apart from me, they are the only ones who have come into contact with the big milk cans today, and only the people from Guanhai City have this ability. They can learn from us. The big milk jugs were taken away right under my nose without anyone noticing."

"So I think the big milk can was stolen and shipped away by people from Guanhai City."

Lance knew that his lord had always been respectful towards Guanhai City, so he did not dare to use the word "steal".

"How is this possible? Why do the people in Guanhai City steal our big milk cans? They can't just smash their own signs for a little profit."

Hermann said in disbelief.

Before Lance expressed his guess, he had never considered that someone from Guanhai City had stolen the big milk can.

The reason is simple. Businessmen in Guanhai City have always been honest and they will not do things that harm their reputation.

Yes, although Herman was disgusted with these profit-seeking businessmen, he had to admit that the businessmen in Guanhai City were very honest in their transactions and were even more trustworthy than individual nobles.

These merchants know their own position very well. Only by honest transactions can they gain the trust of the nobles and build long-term trading channels.

They never make a one-shot deal. You can say that they do whatever it takes to make a profit, but they will never lose their credibility for the sake of profit.

Because these businessmen know in their hearts that only by maintaining their reputation can they obtain more benefits.

This is also an important reason why the merchant alliance can develop and grow in a short period of time. Even the nobles, who have always been above the top, have given the merchants enough trust in transactions, which shows the high reputation of Guanhai City.
