Chapter 176 Poisoning
Although he had already kept the layout of Deyun Tower in mind, Shao Ting did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

His goal was very clear, and he went straight to the shopkeeper's house on the top floor.

It can be said that the shopkeeper of Deyun Building is dedicated to his duties, and he lives and eats in this Deyun Building, so it can be said that he is almost inseparable.But the fact that he took the lead in buying and selling items in the palace has already pushed himself to hell.

In the restaurant at night, there is a lot of wine and wine, and there is inevitably a sense of extravagance and depravity among the high-level discussions.As a shopkeeper, especially in one of the best restaurants in Chengyang County, there are always some dignitaries who need to entertain and entertain.

It was the wine cup that was in full swing, and the shopkeeper seemed to be concentrating on the wine table.Only the pricked ears from time to time revealed his double-minded thinking.

This is a small binary apartment, the decoration is quite satisfactory, and there is nothing special about it.There is a tea table in the outer hall, and there are unfinished tea cakes on it.Then there are some tea tables and stools.Presumably, this is where the discussion of events sometimes takes place.

There is a push-pull wooden door with carved windows between the outer hall and the inner hall.Shao Ting's eyes sank, and he subconsciously touched the weapon at his waist.It is not convenient to walk at night with a sword, so you can only carry some good equipment.

Years of vigilance made him aware of the approaching danger. He didn't push the door open hastily, but pushed slowly and carefully.When the wooden door was pushed open a foot wide, he looked up carefully.

Sure enough, two sound transmission bells were hung on the door frame with extremely thin silk threads.This sound transmission bell is different from ordinary bells. Once it is impacted, it will vibrate. Although the sound is not loud, it is very regular. Anyone with some martial arts background can naturally hear it clearly.

Shao Ting drew out the soft sword at his waist, carefully stretched one hand into the room, swiped the blade close to the silk thread, and the silk thread broke instantly, and the two sound transmission bells immediately fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Shao Ting stretched out his hand and put it firmly in his palm, and he was relieved.

If the sound transmission bell falls to the ground, it will definitely startle the person who arranged it, and then it will be troublesome.

The shopkeeper holding the wine glass frowned, as if he heard a faint sound just now.That is the sound transmission bell, which is rarely traded in the market.Even he had a hard time getting two.

Immediately after thinking about it, he was relieved again.Even if someone breaks in, it doesn't matter, the end can only be that there will be no return.

"Come on, let's raise our glasses, we will definitely not return home today if we don't get drunk!"

The shopkeeper stood up and greeted with a smile on his face, as if he didn't notice anything wrong just now.

Shao Ting here has already entered the inner hall.The interior is relatively rudimentary.In addition to an ordinary canopy bed, there is a set of desk chairs and a bookcase behind it.

The paper, pen and ink on the table are all available, and even the water for grinding the ink is prepared, which shows that it is often used.Shao Ting focused his attention on the bookcase behind.

It is a very common style, even the small lock on it is used by ordinary people.

In line with the principle of not letting mistakes go, Shao Ting took out the master key on his waist and opened the lock directly.After flipping through it for a while, I finally found a booklet, on which the two words "account book" are very eye-catching.

Is this what you are looking for?

But in the next second, before Shao Ting had time to be happy, danger came one after another.

The moment he just picked up the ledger, countless small needles flew towards his face.

Shao Ting yelled in his heart that it was not good, and hastily turned sideways and dodged the split.Standing up with lingering fear, he stepped forward to check, only to find that there was a spring device in the place where the account book was placed just now, and then looked at the wide partition in the middle, presumably it was a mechanism device.

But the more this ingenuity, the more it proves that there must be something very important hidden in this room.

Hastily flipping through the ledger in his hand, the next second, Shao Ting showed an uncontrollable look of disappointment on his face.This is the normal flow of water in Deyun Building. Why does he want this thing?

Putting the ledger back to its original position, just as he was about to close the cupboard door, a batch of more dense small needles suddenly appeared. Now, no matter how quick Shao Ting's reaction was, several needles were inevitably pierced into his shoulders.

Originally, he didn't take it seriously, he just said that he would go back later and ask Jing Shan to help pick it out.

With the lessons learned from the bookcase, he did not give up on every corner of the room, and carefully checked every corner of the room.

Until he stared at the inconspicuous canopy bed.

The shopkeeper of Deyun Building is really good at disguising.Ordinary bookcases hide murderous intentions, so this ordinary canopy bed is certainly not simple.

After knocking a few times, the sound was hollow and interspersed.Lifting the quilt, as expected a boxy dark compartment appeared in front of Shao Ting.

It's just that his eyes suddenly went dark, and he felt dizzy, and Shao Ting almost couldn't stand still.Thinking that those small needles just now should be poisonous, cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

I have been lingering in this room for so long, and I have already been poisoned, so I can't delay any longer.

Thinking of this, he quickly reached out to touch the hidden compartment, but just as his hand touched the top cover, he felt pain like a needle prick.In the next second, the entire palm turned blue-purple, and it hurt like it was about to break off.

Biansheng had already heard footsteps coming this way, it was the first time Shao Ting encountered such a weird poison trap, he cried out inwardly that he was not good, and with all his strength, he used the other one that was not poisoned. Barely clinging to the window sill with his hands, he jumped straight down.

At the same time, the door of the room was pushed open.The shopkeeper quickly entered the room, he knew the situation clearly, and shouted: "Come here!"

Soon, several burly men filed in, and respectfully replied: "Shopkeeper, what are your orders!"

"Send more people to search for me immediately, and he must not be allowed to escape from this Deyun Tower."

Soon, there was a lot of noise, and the customers were invited out one by one. There were two door gods standing by the door, watching everyone carefully, looking for the thief who did not break into the shopkeeper's room.

Fortunately, Shao Ting took advantage of the chaos of the crowd and tried his best to reach the east wall where he had come in before.And Jing Shan happened to hear the noise and just jumped in.

"Go quickly!"

After saying this, Shao Ting closed his eyes and passed out.

"Boss!"

Jing Shan subconsciously exclaimed, stepped forward to catch his crumbling body.

Don't care about the ledger right now, it's more important to save the boss.

Jing Shan lifted the man on his back, pulled off the belts of the two and tied them tightly around the waist, so that they would not fall down again when climbing the wall.

Just as he was clinging to the wall and preparing to climb, a ghostly voice came from behind: "Let's go now, do you want me to see you off?"
