Chapter 195 Stolen
If it were placed in ancient times, it would take a lot of effort to climb the window.However, Gu Li is a modern person.The equipment of those special forces is fully stocked in the space.

Use the launcher to nail the iron hook into the wall, then climb the rope to the window edge, so as to avoid the guard at the door and enter the room directly from the window.

With Jing Shan's suggestion, Gu Li did not mess around with the things in the house.Her goal is very clear, that is the hidden compartment on the bed.

Gu Li's movements are all cautious, and he also hopes not to make any noise, so as not to be heard by people outside.

After lifting off the quilt and opening the boxy hidden compartment, Gu Li's frowning brows finally relaxed.

If it were her, she would hide the ledger in another place anyway, but the shopkeeper of Deyun Tower didn't move, he was really an extremely conceited person.

Taking the left and right, Gu Li was not polite, and directly threw all the contents into the space.

But at this moment, a very clear voice came from outside the door: "Is there anything unusual?"

"Shopkeeper, we haven't even left this door!"

It should be the answer of one of the gatekeepers.

How could the shopkeeper come here at this time?
Gu Li quickly closed the hidden compartment, put down the quilt and evened it out, then stepped into the space again.

The space is really a good place. After all, only she can see and enter. The only disadvantage is that she cannot teleport, and can only appear according to the owner's position.

So, strictly speaking, Gu Li is still in this room.

But when the shopkeeper opened the door, all he saw was an empty room.

Everything in the outer hall remained the same, even the tea bowls were still in place, presumably no one had visited.

Then he pushed open the carved wooden door, and after a while, Gu Li heard a sound of breathing clearly.It seems that this person is not completely sure.Thinking about it, I have done too many bad things, so I am uneasy!

I thought that this person would leave after the inspection, but who knows that the shopkeeper, because the visitor has no important people today, he just wanted to be lazy, so he planned to wash up and sleep.

Gu Li clearly heard him order to go down: "Ah Cai, bring me a basin of water to wash my feet!"

Although staying in this space is very comfortable, but she also wants to go back as soon as possible!After all, he escaped secretly, and I don't know how long Jing Shan can help hide it.

Gu Li had an urge to show up directly, after all, she was sure that these people would not be her opponents.

However, she was afraid that these people would treat her like a monster and spread the news everywhere.As the saying goes, people's words are terrible, if that happens, not only her, but everyone in the family will be in trouble.

There are no keyboard players in this era, but gossip is also unavoidable. She doesn't want her hands to be stained with blood because of her secret.Therefore, we can only wait and see what happens, wait for the right time, and retreat without anyone noticing.

Everything was going well at first, but unexpectedly, in order to please the shopkeeper, the servant named Ah Cai specially said courteously: "Shopkeeper, I will cover the window for you. There are so many insects this night."

"Oops!" Gu Li murmured in his heart, and as expected, there was a doubtful voice: "What is this?"

Ah Cai picked up the rope and held it up for the shopkeeper to see, "Shopkeeper, did you find someone to arrange this thing?"

The shopkeeper had already strode forward, leaned out to look at the length of the rope, his face turned pale with fright, and he rushed to the bed rolling and crawling.

He hurriedly reached out his hand, and stopped when he was about to touch the switch of the hidden compartment.He quickly took out a small bottle from his waist, poured out a small pill and swallowed it, then directly tore off a corner of his clothes, wrapped his entire palm tightly, and stretched out his trembling hand again.

The secret compartment opened, and he collapsed to the ground at the same time.

It's over, there's nothing left!
Ah Cai kindly wanted to step forward to help him, but he slapped him all the way down, "Get out of my way! I have raised a bunch of trash for nothing~"

Ah Cai, whose face was instantly red and swollen, clenched his fingers, but his face was still respectful,
"Shopkeeper, now is not the time to lose your temper. Why don't you think carefully about who is most likely to steal your things in Chengyang County. The gate of the city is closed at night, and there is still a chance to save you! "

As expected of the entourage who stayed by his side the longest, he still has a bit of a brain.

The shopkeeper thought, yes!What he said made sense, and then he managed to calm down.

As for the person in Chengyang County who wants to get this account book the most, there should be no second person except the Dali Temple Chancellor.

On the government side, even if that old slick magistrate Feng didn't support him, he would definitely not report.He was always in control.

Only Shao Ting is not familiar with him because he belongs to King Chun.Earlier, when I first came to work, I set up a table to wait for the banquet to explore the way, but it was a pity that they didn't appreciate it at all.

In this Chengyang County, he is the only person who dares to touch him, and only he is an accident.Besides, what happened recently was all after the arrival of the Dali Temple Prime Minister.

In fact, he already had some doubts last time, but there was no real evidence.

After all, the poison on the lid of the secret compartment is no small matter.At that time, he was very sure that the person had been tricked, but no one went to ask for any detoxification doctor.That's why he dispelled his suspicions.

This time it was obviously well prepared, which only means that the two times should be the same group.As the saying goes, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go.It's right to act first.

"Ah Cai, you go and arrange the manpower to divide into two groups immediately, and search the inside and outside of the Deyun Building for me along the way, and inquire carefully about the location of that Shao who is surnamed Shao."

Hearing this, Gu Li was a little anxious.Could it be that the shopkeeper wants to attack Shao Ting directly?He is the official of the imperial court!

Seeing Ah Cai walking away, the shopkeeper put his foot on the wooden bed.

He refrained from saying something just now, not only did he have the ledger in the dark cell, it also included all his savings over the years.

People like Ah Cai are willing to do things for themselves because of money.If he knew that he didn't have much money, how could he wholeheartedly run errands for him!
Therefore, he has to do enough tricks.

As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he still has some say in Chengyang County.Therefore, it is not impossible to keep your own family.

But within a few minutes, Ah Cai hurried back again,
"Shopkeeper, someone is looking for you!"

"It's this time, who would still be in the mood to entertain guests? No, don't meddle in your own business, hurry up and do what you have to do."

"But, that man."

Ah Cai did not leave immediately with a nod and bow like before, but wanted to continue talking with a troubled face.

The shopkeeper was a little annoyed, "Even if the king of heaven is here, I have no time to talk to you."

Ah Cai mustered up his courage and finished speaking in one breath: "But that person is Shao Ting, the prime minister of Dali Temple."

"what?"

The shopkeeper was really surprised, and Gu Li, who could hear clearly in the space, was frightened at the same time.

What is he doing here?
