Chapter 43 [Prince's Mansion 02]



Gu Miao: There is a spooky rock garden here... I need a hug from my wife Goose

Gu Wenye sneaked into the prince's mansion. In such a huge mansion, he could see guards patrolling almost every few meters. Such a level of vigilance was really excessive even for Huang Qice, who was a prince.

It seemed as if he was on guard against something. Gu Wenye was slightly surprised. Could it be that Huang Qice had really started to guard against his revenge since the Generals' Ceremony?

Gu Wenye moved along the blind spot of the bodyguards and dodged behind a wall. Two men dressed as servants walked past him in a blatant manner.

"This bag is really heavy."

"Yes, and we're going to throw it to Houshi Garden again. To be honest, every time I go there I feel creepy. I always think it's a spooky place."

"So you think so too. I thought you were really that brave!"

"I was terrified... If it weren't for the extra work reward of half a pearl fish... I wouldn't have taken this job."

"Hehe, what a coincidence, I came here for the reward as well."

"Let's go, go early and come back early. It will be even scarier when it gets dark after you throw away the things."

“…”

The two people were talking and laughing, and the sound gradually faded away. Gu Wenye walked out from behind the wall, frowning slightly. He glanced at the time and decided to follow to see what was going on.

The two men walked about a hundred meters before they came to what they called the "back stone garden". It was indeed filled with large stones of various colors, thrown randomly in the yard without any layout. It was so densely packed that it seemed difficult to find a place to stand.

The two men walked to the entrance of the Back Stone Garden, but without going in, they looked at each other, counted "one, two, three", and then shook the black sealed bag in their hands and threw it into the Back Stone Garden.

As soon as they got rid of the bag, the two of them left quickly as if they had completed their mission, as if they were unwilling to stay here even for a minute longer.

Gu Wenye had been hiding behind a huge stone at the entrance. Since he intended to conceal his presence, it would be impossible for these two servants to discover his presence.

After the two men left, Gu Wenye jumped lightly into the stone garden. This stone garden was like a huge maze. After Gu Wenye jumped into the stone garden, he found that the stones on both sides were so high that they blocked his vision. It was very easy for people to get lost in it.

Gu Wenye didn't dare to go too deep, he found the black sealed bag thrown out by the two servants earlier. The two servants stood far away at the gate and threw it in. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't throw such a heavy bag too far, so Gu Wenye found the bag not long after he went in.

He felt the double layer of security on the bag, which was a common confidentiality measure used in the military. Once it was opened by unconventional means, it would automatically switch to self-destruct mode to prevent important information from being disclosed.

Few people know that this insurance measure was originally initiated by Gu Jiye himself. In order to transmit military information between the two earths, he specially made such a confidentiality insurance. Later, it was widely used by the military.

When Gu Wenye saw this layer of insurance, his doubts deepened. What kind of "garbage" would require such a second layer of insurance?

As the founding developer, Gu Wenye naturally knew where the weak points of this layer of insurance were. Without disturbing anyone or damaging any items inside, Gu Wenye quickly unsealed the black sealed bag.

The sealed bag was opened, and an indescribable stench hit my nose.

Gu Wenye subconsciously tilted his head back slightly to take a breath, then moved closer to look inside.

The bag was filled with chopped pieces of meat and what looked like various kitchen wastes, all stuffed with blood.

Gu Wenye frowned, picked up a medium-length branch from the ground and picked up the minced meat in the bag. The meat was chopped too finely, and the flesh and blood even formed a thin thread that was about to break. The meat was still fresh, and no one could find a reason to throw it away.

Gu Wenye had a vague guess in his mind. He didn't think that Huang Qi Ce would go to so much trouble to throw away a bag of kitchen waste. There must be some mystery in the bag. Under so many seemingly ordinary pieces of meat, maybe there was something buried that Huang Qi Ce really wanted to cover up and throw away?

Gu Wenye was rummaging through the bag when his hands suddenly paused. He narrowed his eyes slightly, took a closer look, and took a deep breath.

It was half a finger with the nail attached.

Gu Wenye suddenly felt a chill all over his body. Perhaps this was exactly what Huang Qice wanted to cover up and throw away. The whole bag of minced meat was not to hide anything, but it was chopped too small to be found at once.

Gu Wenye resealed the bag, his palms sweating. Even though his hands were stained with the blood of hundreds of people, this was the first time he had seen such a scene of chopping up corpses. He suddenly remembered what the two men had said before. It seemed that such a job was not uncommon.

He looked at the huge rocks all around and felt a chill in his heart. He quickly jumped onto the rocks and looked down from the high place. This piece of back stone garden was full of strange rocks. Black sealed bags could be seen almost every few rocks. The closer to the garden entrance, the denser the bags were.

If all the black sealed bags in Houshi Garden were filled with these...

The news industry suddenly thought of those officials who disappeared quietly. Their disappearances were once reported with great fanfare, but later, almost every time, another more eye-catching social news was exposed, diverting the public's attention. In the end, it seemed as if no one cared about this matter anymore, and it disappeared without a trace.

If there is anyone who has the ability to suppress the disappearance of a government official, Huang Qi Ce must be on that list.

For such a powerful man, it is too easy to make a person disappear silently like a bubble. Some people may find it unbelievable, but that is only because they have not yet reached this level. When they understand deeply enough, the world will be shaped into a brand new one.

Gu Wenye withdrew himself and left Hou Shi Garden. Hou Shi Garden was nearly a hundred meters away from the core of the prince's mansion. The number of guards guarding along the way was greatly reduced. It might be that Huang Qice felt that this place was too remote, and he was too confident in his own insurance, so he deployed fewer people.

——The news industry guessed part of the reason, but another reason is that few people are willing to work here.

Houshi Garden was eerie and mysterious, especially at night. A guard who was on duty in this area said that he heard someone crying and repeating "It hurts so much" and "It hurts so much". Since then, the soldiers who were already resistant to this place dared not approach it.

Gu Wenye completed his work smoothly. He sneaked into Huang Qice's study and covered a tampered document with a layer of indistinguishable virtual image, which was enough to confuse Huang Qice into signing and approving it unknowingly. Then, he would have an excuse to attack the Prince's Mansion on the order of the emperor, and none of Huang Qice and his two companions would be able to escape.

If Gu Wenye wanted revenge, he would do it openly. Although the process was not worth pursuing, the most important step was to do it openly and without any shady means.

Afterwards, Qiu Yanping, who curiously asked Gu Wenye what he had done in the Prince's Palace, said that General Gu's thoughts were too... stuffy.

Gu Wenye left the Prince's Mansion directly and waited for Qiu Yanping to return at his home.

Qiu Yanping walked into Huang Qice's bedroom. Huang Qice was lying on the bed unconscious. His son Huang Yutian was standing beside the bed, being very filial and staying by his side all the time.

Huang Yutian was obviously stunned when he saw that the person who came was the arrogant man he met in the general's mansion that day. He pointed at Qiu Yanping and shouted, "Why is it you!?"

"Oh, what a coincidence." Qiu Yanping curled the corner of his mouth, "So it's your family's business, then I'm sorry I can't keep you company." After he said that, he turned around and left.

Qiu Yanping had thought about what to do if he met Huang Yutian here. Huang Yutian would definitely remember his face, but the other party might not know his identity. Huang Yutian would subconsciously judge that he was on Gu Wenye's side based on his first impression, and might even think that he would not treat Huang Qice well - to be honest, Qiu Yanping did not have this intention - so Qiu Yanping simply turned the tables.

He pretended to be clueless, looked at Huang Yutian with surprise and disgust, then turned around and pretended to leave.

Sure enough, Huang Yutian immediately stopped the man when he saw the situation. He stopped Qiu Yanping, but for a moment he didn't know how to react.

Should he believe that Qiu Yanping can save his father? ——Qiu Yanping cured Gu Wenye's legs!

But if Qiu Yanping was a journalist, would he still save his father? ——The two of them were on completely opposite sides.

Huang Yutian was hesitant.

Qiu Yanping snorted upon seeing this and said, "Why are you stopping me? I only came here because the price you offered is higher than that offered by General Gu. If I had known you were so ignorant, I would not have come." Qiu Yanping said this. His words were a direct hint to Huang Yutian that the relationship between him and Gu Wenye was purely a money transaction relationship between doctor and patient. Huang Yutian had been secretly expecting the other party to say this, and now that it was exactly what he wanted, he accepted the statement without even thinking about it.

This can also be considered a kind of psychological comparison. Qiu Yanping has seen too many people and can understand the thoughts of this type of people very well, so he can get it right every time he tries.

Huang Yutian said, "Wait, since you have accepted our money, you must be responsible for taking good care of my father. If you do, we will double your reward later."

Qiu Yanping pretended to be surprised and looked at Huang Yutian, "Do you know how much I want as a reward? Is this asking for too much? What about writing a blank check?"

Huang Yu was in a bad mood, but he followed Qiu Yanping's idea completely, "Is there any reward that my dignified prince's mansion can't pay?"

"You said it." Qiu Yanping curled the corners of his mouth slightly and then turned it back.

Now, Huang Yutian no longer doubted Qiu Yanping. In his mind, Qiu Yanping was just a person who did things for money. There was no question of taking a stand or not. He felt very relieved about such a person.
