Chapter 14: Stealing the Ledger

A day without incident——

At night, a black shadow cleverly evaded the guards like lightning and entered the inner mansion of Sikong Mansion, and after several investigations, he came to the front of the study courtyard of Sikong Mansion, and as soon as he landed, the black shadow noticed something strange. Picked up a stone and smashed it on the ground, "Xiu Xiu Xiu-" Since one of the small courtyards of the study is a closed space, multiple arrows were shot from the four walls at the same time.

Sure enough, there was a deception, and the black shadow was glad that he didn't walk directly into the courtyard.

Breaking into Sikong Mansion at night, this person is Lou Wange.

After calming down, she observed the situation around her by the faint moonlight: the courtyard was surrounded by high and solid walls on both sides, and the main entrance of the study was in front of it, but the length of the courtyard was too long, and it was impossible to reach the door of the room at once with light work, so it was necessary to find a place to stay halfway. What puzzled her was that the ground in the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and no one seemed to have moved, so it stands to reason that the study should be a must-go place every day, and how could there be so many weeds in this courtyard......

Just thinking about it, "Hiss-" She was surprised to see a green bamboo snake crawling slowly on the ground, spitting out blood-red snake cores from time to time, she frowned suddenly: The snake crawled in the courtyard, but it didn't touch the mechanism, could it be that the touch of the mechanism is related to the weight? I picked up another stone and put it on the ground, but sure enough, it didn't touch the mechanism. Knowing the mystery, she lifted her breath and walked on the ground with light skills, although she did not trigger the hidden weapon, but just after taking two steps, she felt something strange again.

At this time, the scene in front of her suddenly changed, and it was night but it became day. She stopped and didn't dare to go any further, holding her breath and her brain was running rapidly: this is, cold erosion powder, invading people's minds and causing hallucinations. No wonder there is no solution!

But she's from the Western Regions, what kind of poison haven't I seen, just hallucinogenic cold erosion powder? took out the silver needle in his sleeve and pierced it into the acupoint, temporarily stabilizing his mind.

She closed her eyes and carefully recalled the furnishings in the courtyard when she was not in battle, and guessed how it was stained with cold erosion powder: by the way, the snake! She opened her eyes suddenly: there were basically no living creatures in the yard except weeds, how could there be a snake for no reason? If you guess correctly, the snake must be the key to breaking the formation. Pulling out the jade flute on his waist, he only blew out a few notes on the side of his mouth, "Bang-" After a while, there was a sound of flesh and bones breaking, and the surrounding scene immediately returned to normal.

I walked around the study and found nothing. I can't help but wonder: outside the study there is a formation and cold erosion powder, how can there be no thing I am looking for? After rummaging around a few more times, there was still nothing to gain. Maybe it's just a façade, the ledger is not in the study, hidden in a more secret place. She thought so.

Just as she was about to leave, she felt something was wrong when she walked to the door, and took a few steps back and crouched down to knock on the ground she had just passed. For those who practice martial arts, the judgment of sound and footsteps is very sensitive, and passing through this ground just now is obviously different from other places.

Gently unveiled the turn on the ground, and sure enough, there was another space below, and I entered it without any thought, and walked along the secret passage, and at the end of it was a wall, through which I could faintly hear the snoring on the other side. At this time, she finally understood that it seemed that the study and bedroom of Sikong Mansion were connected by a secret passage, no wonder there was no one to manage walking in the study courtyard.

But the ledger? She looked back at the secret passage, and found a secret door on one side, and after several searches, she found that the mechanism that opened the secret door opened, only to see that there were boxes piled up in the secret door, and the boxes were full of gold and jewelry. Lou Wange was indignant: Sikong Mansion has embezzled so much money, it really doesn't set up a good official.

After several more searches, Lou Wange found a small wooden box behind the ancient paintings in the dark room, which really contained the account book he was looking for. She smiled with relief, carefully took the ledger and returned the way she came.

As soon as he got out of the yard, he was surrounded by a group of black-clothed people, unwilling to pay more attention, Lou Wange wanted to escape from here after exchanging a few tricks with the black-clothed people, and at this time, the guards of Sikong Mansion not far away ran towards this side with torches and lanterns: "Catch the snitch, catch the snitch!" ”

She sneered, she didn't show up a long time ago, it seemed that she was relieved enough by their formation. He took out a handful of white powder from his sleeve and threw it at the man in black, and in a moment all the men in black fainted. Lou Wange glanced at Sikong Mansion and seized the opportunity to sneak out of the mansion.

As soon as he left the house, at a corner of the alleyway, Lou Wange bumped into a red figure: "Hongsheng, what are you doing here?" ”

Hongsheng was obviously surprised by Lou Wange's appearance: "I, I'm not Cha Sikong Mansion, so let's take a look." ”

Lou Wange patted her on the shoulder: "Oh, so that's the case, I said that I didn't tell anyone about my coming to Sikong Mansion, why did you appear." It's okay if you come, this is the account book of Sikong Mansion, you give it to Lord Sikongfu, he will be interested. ”

"Yes." Hongsheng took the ledger and left.

After Hongsheng left, Lou Wange looked at the street she had just walked out of, and at the end of that street was the Jingzhong Mansion. She sighed: "Hongsheng, you are still Dongfang Sheng......
