Gu Kaiyuan sent Lin Hua and Lin Wei out to the nearby estates to gather the recent harvest and store everything in the warehouse for him to use later.
The warehouse mostly contained grain, not causing much attention whether in abundance or scarcity.
After dispatching tasks, Gu Kaiyuan went to the small courtyard he had acquired before, changed into coarse cloth, and concealed his face before winding through alleys carrying a load.
Arriving at the end of the alley, he came upon the last house here.
The somewhat weathered door was tightly shut, and a seal was affixed outside.
Gu Kaiyuan knew this was merely a decoy; this courtyard was actually in Gu Baijiang's possession, although an official case was filed, the exterior seal was left intact to create the illusion it remained under government control and deterred casual entry.
Circumventing to the back, a lock dangled on the corner gate; seeing no one around, Gu Kaiyuan directly leapt over the wall.
