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

Carrying a huge sum of 1,500 taels of silver, Jiang Jiang returned to the Yunlai Inn in fear.

Even after entering the guest room and returning to bed, Jiang Jiang's heart was still pounding.

This might be the most adventurous thing she has ever done in her life, no, in both of her lives.

"Although it's a bit unfair, but... I can be considered as robbing the rich to help the poor."

Jiang Jiang carefully took out the three silver bills from her arms and looked at them carefully. She had never seen such large silver bills in the Jiang family before.

In fact, when Jiang Jiang saw the large stack of banknotes just now, he had thought about taking them all for himself.

but……

One should not be too greedy. Although Chen Jinting is a killer who kills and robs people, it is not decent to steal money from him. But this money... can be considered as a loan from him.

Jiang Jiang is familiar with the plot and knows that after Chen Jinting is rescued by Chu Yunyue tonight, he will fall in love with Chu Yunyue. From then on, Chen Jinting will often appear beside Chu Yunyue, be crazy about her, go crazy for her, and become a murderer for her.

At the end of the novel, Chen Jinting died for Chu Yunyue.

"I took your money today, and in the future... I will save your life. I, Jiang Jiang, will always keep my word."

Jiang Jiang lay on the bed, muttering to himself with great confidence.

Now, she has neither ability nor money o(╯□╰)o, so she can only do some shady things and develop in a vulgar way.

When she becomes capable in the future, Jiang Jiang will naturally remember to pay back what she owes Chen Jinting.

…………

After looking at the banknotes enough, Jiang Jiang reluctantly put them back into her purse and kept them carefully. Only then did she remember that she had taken back a secret book from Chen Jinting's arms!

This secret book should be the spoils that Chen Jinting got after killing people and robbing tonight. I wonder what kind of martial arts it is?

Jiang Jiang took out the book from her bosom again. With the help of the candlelight in the room, Jiang Jiang finally saw the cover of the book in her hand clearly. There were four big words written on it -

Sunflower Collection!

Oh…shit!

Jiang Jiang's hand trembled, and he subconsciously threw the secret book away.

How could this be so exciting? How come Dongfang Bubai's Book of the Golden Flower is here?

After calming down a little, Jiang Jiang sat up again and picked up the book.

perhaps……

Just a coincidence?

Maybe the original author was lazy and just gave the secret book a random name, and it might not necessarily be the "Sunflower Manual" that she knew?

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang couldn't help but open the book in his hand. On the first page, he wrote eight big characters in a flamboyant style -

If you want to practice magic skills, you must castrate yourself first!

Jiang Jiang is numb, it really is Dongfang Bubai's "Sunflower Manual"! Author, can you be any lazier?

This thing can’t be used by my brother.

So... who did Chen Jinting kill? He couldn't have... killed a eunuch, right?

Jiang Jiang raised his eyebrows. "Don't tell me, it's really possible! Eunuchs are not found anywhere else, but there are quite a few in the capital!"

but……

If he was really a eunuch who practiced the Book of the Golden Flower, he wouldn't be so weak. Could it be that Chen Jinting also has peerless magical skills?

No, if Chen Jinting was really that powerful, he wouldn't have been beaten like a dead dog and lying dying in the back alley of the Chu family.

Jiang Jiang concentrated on thinking about the original plot for a while. In the original plot, after Chen Jinting was rescued, he only gave Chu Yunyue a stack of banknotes and did not give her any martial arts secrets. The subsequent plot also never mentioned any martial arts secrets, so...

This secret book is actually not that important.

What is "Sunflower Manual"? It's just a name!

Forget it, I'll just take it home and use it as a table leg. It's also a way to recycle waste.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang casually stuffed the "Sunflower Manual" into the small bag he was carrying.

**

On the night of Shangsi Festival, the whole capital was ablaze with lights, bustling with people, and extremely lively. The big families located in Ruyi Street were also particularly lively today.

Meng House.

Meng Xiang, the head of the Meng family, sat in the main seat, holding a teacup in his hand, but he was in no hurry to sip the tea. He looked up at his two sons, and finally his gaze fell on his youngest son, Meng Haowu. "Haowu, you also participated in today's grand court meeting. What do you think?"

"Father, the memorial from Xiliang Prefecture can't prove anything. Besides...last year's disaster relief funds and grain were transported by water. All the major families participated, and several groups of people changed along the way. Even if the people from the Divine Investigation Bureau and the Dali Temple were to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with us." Meng Haowu's tone was firm.

The water transport was apparently controlled by the Jiangnan nobles, but few people knew that their Meng family was also involved in and led this matter.

"Father, Gu Yanqing is just looking for trouble. Do you want me to... send a few people to teach him a lesson?" Meng Haowen suddenly interrupted at this time.

He likes to stir up trouble on a daily basis. Because he was often beaten up by Gu Yanqing's people in the past, Meng Haowen has always hated Gu Yanqing to the core.

Especially what happened on Chengmen Street yesterday. That scholar kept calling him Gu Xiang. Even now, Meng Haowen still feels furious when he thinks about it!

When he has time, he will find that scholar and make him wish he were dead!

"Bastard!"

After hearing what Meng Haowen said, Meng Xiang's face darkened and he threw the teacup in his hand away, spilling the scalding tea all over the floor.

"Father, please calm down!"

Meng Haowen was so frightened that he trembled and knelt on the ground.

"Who do you think you are? You think you can touch Gu Yanqing by yourself? You should know that behind him is His Majesty!"

Meng Xiang's angry voice echoed in the hall.

He wasn't necessarily really afraid of Gu Yanqing, but... behind Gu Yanqing was Emperor Jianping.

They may not buy into Gu Yanqing's account, but they cannot fail to give face to His Majesty.

No matter how powerful these wealthy and powerful families are, they dare not openly oppose Your Majesty.

The last bit of decency between the monarch and his subjects must be maintained. If they really dare to attack Gu Yanqing directly, then His Majesty will probably overturn the table!

If things really get out of hand, it will be difficult to resolve.

This is not the result that both parties want at this stage.

"Get out of here, you good-for-nothing! Don't go out these days, or you'll cause me trouble!"

Meng Xiang was still angry and directly kicked Meng Haowen out.

Now only he and Meng Haowu and his son were left in the hall.

"Father, those things in the villa..." After seeing his elder brother leave, Meng Haowu took a few steps forward and asked in a low voice.

"Don't move those things for now. Wait until the storm has died down." Meng Xiang said with a deep look in his eyes.

Today, Gu Yanqing suddenly brought up the matter of Xiliang Prefecture. Was it a test, or did he have some other purpose? Meng Xiang still hadn't figured it out...

At the same time, in the Gu Mansion in Kyoto.

Gu Yanqing was in a good mood today. He was holding a list in his hand. This... was the newly released list of successful candidates in this spring examination.

The Qingyun Kingdom held a spring examination every three years, and the top ninety candidates were selected to become tribute scholars.

These ninety candidates will take part in the palace examination on March 8th, and only fifty-one Jinshi will be selected in the end.

These fifty-one Jinshi are basically the reserve officials of Qingyun State. Those with outstanding performance, such as the top three in the palace examination, can even be directly appointed as officials by His Majesty.

"There are several good candidates on this list. I didn't expect Jiang Chaosheng to be on it!" Mu Kang, who was pouring tea for Gu Yanqing, sighed, "Although his ranking is very low, only 78th, with the honor of being a Gongshi, it will be much easier for him to enter the officialdom in the future."

No matter whether you are a Juren or a Gongshi, even if you don't become a Jinshi in the end, as long as you have this honor, there will still be many opportunities to enter the official career in the future.
