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

After breakfast, Yun Yue was planning to go to Baxingfang. Before leaving, she noticed that Jiang Jiang looked particularly absent-minded today.

"Jiang Jiang, is there something wrong with you?"

Yun Yue stopped and asked with concern.

"I feel a little uncomfortable today."

Jiang Jiang rubbed his forehead and looked at Yun Yue pitifully: "Headache."

"Then you should rest well at home today. I'll ask Xiaotao to make some medicine for you." Yun Yue didn't think much about it. She also specifically instructed Xiaotao to prepare more supplements for Jiang Jiang. After arranging everything, she went out.

Jiang Jiang didn’t really have a headache, she just had something on her mind, so she was absent-minded.

Today is the seventh day of the first lunar month. The original novel does not mention the exact time when the divine thunder will fall from the sky in Sanfeng City, but it does say that in the afternoon, the news from Sanfeng City will be sent to the imperial city via an express train over 800 miles and presented to Emperor Jianping.

So, there will be news before dark today, right?

Jiang Jiang simply went back to her room, counting the time silently and waiting for news from Sanfeng City.

When waiting, it always feels very long.

This might be the longest day Jiang Jiang has ever had since traveling to this world.

…………

Jiang Jiang is not the only one waiting for news today.

Gu Yanqing finished his work early today and arrived at Fusheng Bookstore very early.

"Master, have tea."

Uncle Ping poured Gu Yanqing a cup of warm tea, and then stood quietly by the side.

Gu Yanqing took a sip of tea, then turned to look at the old tree in the yard. No one knew what he was thinking until a familiar figure rushed into the yard like the wind.

It’s Lin Jing.

Lin Jing was exhausted at this moment, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

"Master Xiang!"

Lin Jing said hurriedly: "It's done!"

Just four short words seemed to have consumed all of Lin Jing's energy. He had been in Sanfeng City for the past few days, waiting for this moment today.

"it is good."

Gu Yanqing slowly put down the teacup, then turned to look at Uncle Ping: "Uncle Ping, you'll be busy this time."

Over the years, Uncle Ping has already built up a lot of connections in the capital and has always been very adept at business.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely help you with this matter."

Uncle Ping promised with a smile on his face.

Although he didn't know why the young master had such a brilliant plan, it didn't matter because the show had already begun.

He will definitely help the young master this time, and by the way, help Miss Jiang Jiang, and sell the cotton at a sky-high price!

…………

Before the sun set, the 800-li express from Sanfeng City had already been delivered to the Imperial City.

In Sanfeng City, thunder from the sky caused a huge fire.

The place where the fire broke out was the cotton warehouse of Guangmao Trading Company, the largest one in Sanfeng City.

A whole row of warehouses is filled with this year's new cotton that Guangmao Trading Company had just collected from farmers not long ago!

Cotton is flammable, and this strange fire came with such ferocity that it quickly burned all the cotton in that row of warehouses, leaving no room for rescue.

Imperial City, the Central Palace Conference Hall.

"Your Majesty, this divine thunder from the sky is a warning from heaven to you!"

The officials of the Imperial Observatory were kneeling in front of Emperor Jianping at this time, with serious expressions on their faces.

"A warning from heaven?"

Emperor Jianping was almost irritated to the point of laughing. "Observing the weather is the responsibility of your Imperial Observatory. Now that something so serious has happened, don't you know how to reflect on your own incompetence? Whenever something goes wrong, you claim it's a warning from heaven. I'd like to ask, Grand Historian, what kind of warning is this from heaven?"

After hearing what Emperor Jianping said, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory's Grand Historian immediately said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, by favoring Gu Yanqing and wantonly changing the laws of our ancestors, you are violating morality. This divine thunder from heaven is a reminder to Your Majesty to stay away from treacherous villains!"

As soon as the Grand Historian's words came out, the hall immediately became quiet and you could hear a pin drop.

The officials headed by Meng Xiang were all calm and composed, looking as if they were waiting to see a good show.

Qin Mao and other officials standing on the other side subconsciously turned their eyes to Gu Yanqing.

As the head of the civil officials, Gu Yanqing had always stood at the front. When he heard the words of the Grand Historian, his face remained calm.

Emperor Jianping, however, became interested and said with a smile, "What the Grand Historian said is quite plausible. Prime Minister Gu, what do you think?"

At this time, Gu Yanqing became the focus of everyone.

"I think what the Grand Historian said is very right." Gu Yanqing stepped forward and spoke calmly. As soon as he finished speaking, the whole court was in an uproar.

No one expected Gu Yanqing to say this.

Is he, is he going crazy?

Meng Xiang frowned, looking at Gu Yanqing in surprise. At this moment, Gu Yanqing slowly pulled out a stack of memorials from his sleeve and said, "What a coincidence! I just received several memorials from Yuzhou in the government hall today. I would like to ask Your Majesty and the others to take a look at them first."

As he spoke, Gu Yanqing handed over the memorials.

Emperor Jianping gave a wink, and the chief eunuch beside him immediately took the top memorial, while Gu Yanqing smiled and distributed the other memorials to Qin Mao and the ministers of the six ministries.

The moment everyone opened the memorial, their faces changed—

There were treacherous and cunning people in Yuzhou, who were punished by thunder from heaven.

This……

Before today, a divine stone prophecy had appeared in Yuzhou? Why hadn't this news reached the capital?

"Before, a divine stone fell from the sky in Yuzhou, and now a divine thunder has descended from the sky in Sanfeng City. I also believe that this is a warning from heaven to your Majesty!"

As Gu Yanqing spoke, he suddenly turned around and looked at the pale-faced people from the Imperial Observatory who were still kneeling on the ground. He smiled and asked, "My Lords, what do you think?"

While questioning, Gu Yanqing directly slapped a memorial on the face of the Grand Historian of the Imperial Observatory.

Directly to the face and open wide.

The Grand Historian of the Imperial Observatory had a headache.

Of course, his face also hurt a little because Gu Yanqing used a lot of force when throwing the memorial.

Gu Yanqing is just a civil servant, but I didn't expect him to be so strong.

Of course, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory's Grand Historian didn't dare contradict Gu Yanqing at this moment, but he felt sorry in his heart that such a good opportunity could have been used to impeach Gu Yanqing...

Why, then, did a divine stone fall from the sky in Yuzhou? Could the stone even predict thunder from thousands of miles away?

This is wrong, very wrong!

The Grand Historian frowned slightly. Although he was a fake, he still knew a little about astronomy and geography, and he immediately figured out the mystery.

Could it be that there is an expert behind the scenes advising Gu Yanqing and letting him make plans in advance?

I think this must be the case.
