Chapter 196 The Contest in the Secret
Shao Ting didn't think much at all, and his purpose was very simple.Instead of just worrying about it, it's better to face it directly, at least to make sure of Gu Li's safety.

The shopkeeper also had his own thoughts, and wanted to find out if the person who stole the account book was with the Dali Temple Cheng.So I simply made tea in the outer hall of my small suite, so I could try it out carefully.

As soon as Shao Ting entered the door, his eyes began to shoot around like radar, but he greeted politely: "Shopkeeper, please forgive me for disturbing you!"

The shopkeeper made a smirk, and said insincerely, "Where is this? If Mr. Shao condescends to come to my humble room, it will be full of glory!"

Behind the extremely hypocritical politeness were the sparks of the two people's various thoughts.

Shao Ting did not observe any clues at the scene.This also indirectly proves that there was no contest between fights here, so Gu Li should not have been caught by them.

The shopkeeper saw that Shao Ting's eyes were a little erratic, but everything else was normal.He didn't ask questions, he didn't flatter him, and he didn't look like the person who had already got the account book.

"I don't know if Mr. Shao is here tonight, but what business is there?"

The shopkeeper started to boil water to make tea, but from the corner of his eye, he was watching Shao Ting's reaction.

"Don't be nervous, the shopkeeper, I really don't have any official business. I just thought that when I first came to Chengyang, the shopkeeper would immediately send a table of food comfort. This friendship Shao has always remembered. After finally being free, I just wanted to come to the door in person and solemnly thank the shopkeeper for his kindness."

"Master Shao is too serious."

The two of you came and went, chatting about this for a while, and then they became a little absent-minded.

Suddenly, the shopkeeper stood up and said, "Master Shao is well-informed, and I have something to ask you. Please come with me!"

Lead the person directly into the inner room, then pick up the rope still left by the window and ask,
"I don't know, Mr. Shao has never seen such a thing?"

Shao Ting took it and looked at it, but was amazed in his heart, the rope was made light and strong, and it didn't strangle his hands. The most amazing thing was that he didn't know what kind of effort it was, it was directly embedded in the blue brick wall, and it seemed that he couldn't pull it with all his strength. out.

"It's really a wonderful thing."

Shao Ting took it in his hand and inspected it carefully, the shopkeeper did not miss the amazement and love in his eyes at all.

It is also common for those of the Wei court like them to run over the eaves and walls.If you can be a little better in equipment, you will naturally save a lot of effort.In this regard, Shao Ting really did not pretend at all.

"That's right! I don't know which little thief stole the equipment. I have never seen it before. If the court has such equipment, it will be more effective in investigating cases!"

"Little thief? I wonder if the shopkeeper lost something?" Shao Ting became a little nervous when he heard this, and subconsciously asked this question.

"It's just that I didn't find it, and let the thief take advantage of it. However, I just lost some money for dual purposes. I think it's a good deed!"

"Speaking of it, this is also our negligence. Tomorrow, I will definitely obey County Magistrate Feng and ask him to solve this case as soon as possible, pursue the stolen silver, and give justice to the shopkeeper!"

Shao Ting said it in a serious manner, as if he had a loving expression of a parent official, and his heart was actually much more relaxed.

It seems that people are really not caught.However, according to Gu Li's personality, she would definitely not do things that specifically take people's money.The shopkeeper said so, presumably there must be some other hidden secrets.

When the shopkeeper heard it, he was a little flustered.It really can't be reported to the authorities. However, if the news of the theft of the shopkeeper's room in Deyun Tower spread, it would be a big trouble.Those eyes staring at him will never let it go, in the end it will only hasten the pace of his death.

"The left and right are just a small amount of money for a good pot of tea. It's really not worth the trouble to go to the county magistrate Feng! But Mr. Shao, if you have time, come to our Deyun Tower to sit more often. Once this prestige comes out, I'm afraid of those young people for what?"

Shao Ting was just saying some polite words. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, he simply went down the slope.

Besides, now that it has been confirmed that Gu Li is not in their hands, it is almost time to leave and look for it elsewhere.

After another insincere casual exchange of greetings, Shao Ting said goodbye.

The shopkeeper was doing a full set of acting, and then enthusiastically expressed that he would deliver it to the door.

The room finally became quiet. Gu Li quickly stepped out of the space after confirming that there was no sound.

Sure enough, the house was empty, and it was a good time to leave.

Along the rope still nailed to the window sill, he slid all the way down.The guards who were on duty in the courtyard had been transferred to other places by A Cai according to the order of the shopkeeper.

After climbing over the wall, clapping his hands, and tidying up his clothes, Gu Li calmly walked in front of the gate of Deyun Tower like a normal person.

At this moment, the shopkeeper's thoughts were a little confused.The thief was not sent by Shao Ting, so who could it be?For him tonight, it was destined to be an anxious moment when he couldn't sleep.If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have been so blindly confident and put things in place.

What kind of shit is a peerless poison.I haven't seen anyone poisoned to death, but it scares him half to death every time.So, those big officials who care about their subordinates talk like fart.

When Shao Ting went out, he was a little confused for a while.According to Jing Shan, Gu Li should be in Deyun Building.But the shopkeeper really doesn't need to act for himself.And that special rope, could it belong to Gu Li?
The spies were sending signals to each other, but there was no movement until now, which meant that Gu Li hadn't returned to the house yet.But in Chengyang County, where she is not familiar with, where can she go?
Suddenly a person broke into Shao Ting's mind.After thinking about it, Gu Li seemed to be the only one he could find.Although I feel a little sour in my heart, it is more important to confirm her safety than these.

Thinking of this, Shao Ting was going to go to Wei Mansion to inquire.Get up, and before walking far, I heard a familiar voice: "Shao Ting!"

Immediately afterwards, hurried footsteps sounded, and a slender figure quickly flashed in front of his eyes, and he called out clearly: "Shao Ting!"

Shao Ting held her shoulder excitedly, looked up and down, but the words in his mouth were not polite:

"I said you are so bold, you dare to do anything! Where is Deyunlou, and the shopkeeper is not an ordinary person, who did you borrow the courage to go alone? You let Jingshan cover for you , I never thought that we would worry about you? If something happens to you, what do you ask the children and mother to do? What do you ask me to do? Gu Li, next time, before you do anything, can you advance Discuss with me?"

Gu Li is a master who takes soft things rather than tough ones, and according to her temperament, she must have a good argument.Who would have thought that as soon as he raised his head, he met Shao Ting's red eyes.That gaze was like a raging fire, making her whole body hot.So, all kinds of arrogance turned into a mass of tenderness, only a gentle voice,
"Okay, I remember!"
