Chapter 36: Thieves
He did not follow into the dark room. After looking for a while, he quickly disappeared, left the Huang Mansion, and turned to the inn where Gu Junqing was.
Gu Junqing sat on a chair, holding a book in her hands and reading it nonchalantly. It was said that the book was sent by the emperor so that she would study hard and not make a fool of herself.
Shouldn't I have said that she had a photographic memory? Especially after her rebirth, her hearing and eyesight were sharp, and her memory was even better.
She was just reading it fine, when suddenly there was a gust of wind outside the window. She paused and looked out the window. When she saw that it was the prison warden's secret guard, she loosened her grip, put the book on the table, stood up, and asked as she walked:
"Zhen Wei, have you found anything in the Huang Mansion?" she asked the secret guard named Zhen Wei.
Then Zhen Wei told her everything he had seen and heard in Huang's house.
Gu Junqing nodded. It turned out that there was a dark room in Huang Zhenxing’s study.
After saying everything, Zhen Wei stepped back.
Gu Junqing turned around and sat back in his original seat, continuing to read the book, but his eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that his mind was not on the book but on other things.
Later in the night.
The Huang Mansion was very quiet. Apart from some guards who were standing outside the gate and watching over it carefully, there were only a few dogs howling quietly.
Gu Junqing had a mask on his face and was wearing a nightgown, moving freely in the darkness, followed by Duan Jun, who was worried about his own general.
The two of them first walked around the front yard, and when they found nothing, they rushed to Huang Zhenxing's study.
Duan Jun was guarding the wind from behind while Gu Junqing pushed the door carefully. With a creaking sound, she pushed the door even more lightly.
The two of them went in.
Looking around, Gu Junqing discovered that it seemed that only the study was exquisite, filled with various famous paintings, books, jade and porcelain utensils. However, there was a mechanism in the dark corner on the left side of the wooden table that Zhen Wei mentioned that could open the secret room.
Gu Junqing came to the wooden table and carefully groped the left side under the table until she touched an imperceptible protrusion. She was inspired and pressed it lightly.
The door of the dark room opened.
Duan Jun quickly followed Gu Junqing's steps.
After walking in, Gu Junqing found that there was a hidden world here, with a lot of food and gold and silver treasures hidden. After walking deeper, they saw the human bones and remains on the ground, and they stopped and frowned. But before they could say anything, Gu Junqing's ears moved, and he quickly signaled Duan Jun who had not yet reacted.
somebody is coming!
Duan Jun nodded and understood.
The two hid in the corner, watching the figure coming closer and closer, whose face became gradually clearer.
It's someone I've never seen before.
I saw that he was also frowning tightly, as if he didn't expect to see such creepy scenes here, and he was still muttering things like "What a damn place is this, the Huang Mansion is really full of man-eating monsters, it's unlucky, what are they stealing".
It turned out to be a thief who broke into the Huang Mansion.
Gu Junqing understood.
But what she never expected was that when she was about to wait for the thief to leave before coming out, Duan Jun, who was standing behind her, suddenly moved his feet, and there happened to be a bone behind him. Because of this small movement, he kicked the bone and made a sound. The man was about to leave, but when he heard the sound, he subconsciously wanted to turn around and look.
Just as he approached the place where the two had been, he took a closer look and found that there was nothing there except the remains of a human head.
"Did you hear that wrongly?"
He continued to mutter.
But when Gu Junqing, who was hiding behind his stone slab, thought that the man was about to leave, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
This person suddenly jumped in front of him with a somewhat cold smile on his face, and said coldly:
"Who is your Excellency?"
Gu Junqing was ashamed, this was discovered.
Now that they have been discovered, it is no longer a good idea to hide them.
The two men stood up.
"Seeing that we are dressed the same as us, we are definitely here to steal the Huang Mansion's wealth," Gu Junqing said seriously.
"is it?"
The man looked suspicious and asked back.
Duan Jun echoed this and even made up a reason for stealing from Huang's mansion:
"Of course. I heard that the prefecture-general is the richest person in Suzhou. If he hadn't spent all his money on the journey to the capital, why would he do such a thing?"
"As for why I came to this dark room, it was naturally a coincidence. I just didn't expect..."
After Gu Junqing finished speaking, he looked at the wreckage on the ground, pretending to be filled with pity.
The two of them sang the same tune, and the man not only did not believe it, but also sneered and cursed:
"Bah, do you two really think I'm stupid? If you came here to steal the money from the Huang Mansion, then why were there so many at the exit just now? Wouldn't you just stay there and take all of them? Why are you here? Are you just curious? Ha, I don't believe it!"
Gu Junqing shrugged. He didn't expect him to believe them in the first place. Indeed, they had nothing in their hands and didn't look like thieves who came to steal.
But he was too lazy to continue to struggle, so Gu Junqing asked directly:
"Are you here to steal something?"
The man's eyes flickered. Indeed, he came to steal the Huang family's money. After all, he only had to steal from this dog official, so he didn't feel that guilty.
So he answered the question irrelevantly:
"What do you think? What am I doing here in this outfit?"
Duan Jun continued, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if we each go our own way and don't interfere with each other?"
Gu Junqing nodded, restrained the careless smile on his face, and said lightly: "Let's go."
But when they were about to leave, the man snorted in dissatisfaction, then slowly followed them, his tone also pointing and shouting like an old man who deserves a beating:
"Oh, that won't do. Now that I've seen you guys, and I don't know what you're doing, I have nothing to do, so I might as well follow you two and have some fun!"
Gu Junqing paused, looked at Duan Jun, then turned around and glanced at the man.
Time paused for about a quarter of an hour, and the atmosphere was a little weird, but at the last second, the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and acted at the same time.
The man was naturally no match for these two men, and he kept defending until he could no longer defend and was tied up by Gu Junqing with his hands. Then he yelled for a stop.
In order not to alert the guards outside, the two men stopped and looked at the man with cold eyes.
The man rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, I get it. I won't follow you. You two are such a boring master and servant!"
Gu Junqing raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised at this man's amazing insight, but this was not the time to dawdle.
Letting go of his hand, Gu Junqing looked at him and started to chase him away:
"Go ahead, we'll watch you go"
"Hey, you are such a fussy man, just like a woman! You even want to watch me leave! Who cares!"
The man rolled his eyes again, said this in dissatisfaction, and really walked towards the original exit.
Duan Jun was still thinking about capturing the man and beating him up, but was stopped by Gu Junqing.
Duan Jun lowered his head and swallowed his anger because the general was scolded by this guy.
