The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

Gu Yanqing had been fighting with those old guys in the capital for more than three years, and they were always evenly matched. That was because they had been checking and balancing each other, and neither wanted to kill the other.

Emperor Jianping had just ascended the throne and still needed the assistance of the veteran officials in the capital. The aristocratic officials headed by Meng Xiang did not necessarily want to be above Emperor Jianping. They just wanted to maintain their original interests and did not want to be gradually eroded by Gu Yanqing...

But Yuzhou is a different place.

They are far away from Kyoto and not under the control of Emperor Jianping. They have long been accustomed to being local emperors. Their territory is not allowed to be touched by anyone. Anyone who wants to touch it will die!

So this time, they wanted to kill Gu Yanqing.

"Han Song is dead, and those account books are nowhere to be found. Sir, it seems that this time, our trip was in vain."

Uncle Ping, who had been standing behind everyone and looked unknown, sighed and spoke.

Hearing Uncle Ping's words, Fan Qingming subconsciously clenched his fists, but had nothing to say.

"Yuzhou is indeed more difficult to deal with than I imagined. Tonight, Uncle Ping and I will return to the capital."

Gu Yanqing also spoke slowly at this time, his voice full of fatigue: "Qingming, you continue to stay here and handle the follow-up matters. After we leave, you and your men must act carefully. Don't confront Yuzhou officials recently. Also, go back and investigate all of Han Song's interpersonal relationships... I suspect that he has secretly entrusted the account book to someone long ago. Find that person and bring the account book back to the capital!"

"I understand." Fan Qingming nodded solemnly, then he looked at the corpses all over the yard and said, "Prime Minister, please leave first. I'll clean up here."

"Ah."

Gu Yanqing nodded and left without looking back.

That night, a fire reduced the desolate manor to ruins.

Gu Yanqing and Uncle Ping boarded a passenger ship leaving Yuzhou overnight...

Everything seemed to be over before it even began.

**

The next day, evening.

Yuzhou, Liang Prefecture.

The people sent out did not kill Gu Yanqing, which made Liang Tai a little annoyed.

Good thing...

Gu Yanqing also didn't have any evidence to incriminate him.

"The Han family is all dead. That Han Yiling was a useless piece of shit. It's better for her to be killed by Gu Yanqing's people."

Liang Tai spoke casually while playing chess.

The person playing chess with him was a middle-aged man with a small mustache, who looked about 50% similar to Liang Tai. This man was Liang Tai's younger brother Liang Zhongyuan.

"Han Yiling is a knowledgeable and interesting person, and she has a good taste. It's a pity that her elder brother is so stubborn." Liang Zhongyuan seemed to have some regrets about Han Yiling's death.

"Hmph." Liang Tai snorted. His brother was good in every way except that he couldn't control his lower body. Sooner or later, he would fall into trouble with a woman.

"Brother, you said...are the account books really gone?" At this time, Liang Zhongyuan was most concerned about the Han family's account books.

"Before our people killed Han Song, they threatened his wife and children's lives, but he refused to reveal the whereabouts of the account book. It's very likely that the account book is gone, or perhaps... it's in the hands of someone else, and that person must be the person Han Song valued and trusted the most during his lifetime."

Liang Tai couldn't figure out who Han Song would give the account book to.

"Could he have given it to his mistress outside?" Liang Zhongyuan thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke with his eyes lighting up.

Liang Tai, standing by, looked at him with a dark expression on his face: "Would you give something more important than your life to a mistress outside?"

"Well, that won't happen." Liang Zhongyuan smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, the Han family is dead. Even if they really find some account book in the future, as long as we insist that it is fake, it will be fine." Liang Tai didn't care. After all, in Yuzhou, except for Han Song, that ungrateful guy, no one dared to go against them.

The entire Yuzhou is their territory.

"Brother is really smart. I have found someone to take over Han Song's family business. These days, I am counting the wealth he left behind. Wow, the Han family's foundation is still pretty good. After the inventory is completed, I will send someone to deliver half to the governor. For the remaining half, we..." Liang Zhongyuan was talking excitedly, and halfway through, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.

"Who let you in!"

Liang Zhongyuan's tone changed and his expression immediately turned ugly.

This study is a very important place and servants are usually not allowed to enter. Even his concubine is not allowed to come in.

"You two, it's been a pleasant chat."

A cold and unfamiliar male voice sounded in Liang Zhongyuan's ears.

Liang Zhongyuan looked up suddenly and saw a long sword appear silently in front of him.

"Have……"

Just as he was about to shout "There's an assassin", he saw the sword tip move forward a few inches, pointing directly at his throat.

Liang Zhongyuan's breathing stagnated and he sat down with a pale face.

"Master Liang is still more stable."

The visitor lowered his eyes and looked at Liang Tai with a smile. Liang Tai was sitting on the futon, holding the white piece in his hand, without moving or making any sound.

"Ah."

Liang Tai smiled, put down the chess piece in his hand, raised his head slightly and looked at the tall and handsome man in front of him, and said slowly: "Minister Gu is really in a good mood. You come to visit me so late at night, but you want to play a game of chess with me?"

That’s right, the man who appeared in Liang Mansion was Gu Yanqing.

"I am not good at playing chess and am no match for Lord Liang." As Gu Yanqing spoke, the sword in his hand was still pointing directly at Liang Zhongyuan's heart.

"Gu... Minister Gu, you, if you have something to say, please speak nicely and put down your sword."

Liang Zhongyuan knew Gu Yanqing's identity at this time, and immediately said with a trembling voice: "I, I am also an official, and we are all colleagues. If you stab me, even if you are the Prime Minister, you will be responsible!"

"Really?" Gu Yanqing still looked calm and composed, his voice exceptionally cold. "But, apart from you, no one in this world knows I'm here. So, even if I kill you now, no one will suspect me."

Ah this...

Liang Zhongyuan was stunned. Even Liang Tai, who had remained calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, could not help but raise an eyebrow.

Damn, I almost forgot that their people have erased all traces of Gu Yanqing and his group in Yuzhou.

and so……

As long as Gu Yanqing doesn't admit it.

Then, no one can prove that he has been to Yuzhou!

So... he deliberately pretended to leave and then quietly returned alone?

Liang Tai was a little depressed, but still much calmer than his brother.

Liang Zhongyuan: The sword of love is not on your neck, right o(╥﹏╥)o

"Gu, Prime Minister Gu, let's talk things over. My Liang Mansion has over a hundred personal guards, as well as many guards and assassins. If we really have to fight head-on, you might not be able to leave here alone."

Liang Tai put on a smiling face and spoke with forced composure.
