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

[The third year of Jianping, August 29th.]

They say good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. I didn't expect Yanlou to have so many problems just after it opened. Perhaps the existence of Yanlou has shaken up the interests of a certain faction? Or perhaps someone has been secretly planning to attack Gu Yanqing for a long time, but has been unable to find an opportunity? And the existence of Yanlou has become their breakthrough point? Or perhaps... was it someone from Yuzhou who did this?

Jiang Jiang rubbed his temples, feeling very annoyed. Why does Gu Yanqing have so many enemies?

Jiang Jiang realized that she had underestimated the shamelessness of these men in the court. They really had no bottom line. When they couldn't defeat Gu Yanqing in the court, they would trip him up in secret, taking lives and framing the innocent...

Gu Yanqing had too many enemies, and Jiang Jiang was confused for a moment and didn't know who did it.

The only family I can rule out right now is the Meng family. I remember Meng Xiang caring about his eldest son. He wouldn't kill his own son and frame Gu Yanqing. He wouldn't do such a crazy thing. Could it be that Meng Haowen has offended too many people? He's a pervert and incredibly bold!

When writing this in the diary, Jiang Jiang suddenly remembered that before Meng Haowen was killed, he had been to Yanlou and made trouble at the gate. Jiang Jiang even asked someone to drive him away.

He was fine at that time.

Where did he go after that? Can we use this as a clue to find the person behind the scenes?

Who was the last person Meng Haowen saw before his death?

What happened before he died?

**

Kyoto, Baicao Hall.

While Jiang Jiang was struggling with Meng Haowen's murder, Li Pingan in Baicaotang was also struggling with the same thing.

"You said Meng Haowen is missing?"

At this moment, Li Ping'an was sitting in the study practicing calligraphy. When he heard the report from his subordinates, he paused slightly.

Meng Haowen was really an eyesore, so Li Pingan decided to kill him quietly.

However, Meng Haowen is a member of the Meng family after all. If something really happens to him, it may cause turmoil in the government and the country. Therefore, Li Pingan did not dare to act rashly. He could only send someone to secretly follow Meng Haowen, familiarize himself with all his daily routines, and then find a way to make him "die accidentally" without anyone knowing.

Who knew that before he could even start to make any move, Meng Haowen would disappear!

"Master, Meng Haowen didn't return to the Meng family last night. I and my men waited all night at the Meng family's house, but he didn't show up. Today, we searched for him in places Meng Haowen often goes, but still couldn't find him. The people guarding the Meng family's house also said that they didn't see him return!"

He didn't go home, and Meng Haowen was nowhere to be found in the brothels he often went to. So, could Meng Haowen just disappear out of thin air?

wrong.

"You said he didn't go home last night?"

Li Pingan suddenly put down the brush in his hand, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.

last night.

Jiang Jiang’s incident also happened last night.

Li Ping'an seemed to hear Gu Yanqing's cold voice again.

"Was it done by the Dongping family?"

"What happened last night."

"It seems you don't know anything."

Did last night...

Was it not just Jiang Jiang who was in trouble? Was it Meng Haowen who was in trouble as well?

That’s why Gu Yanqing asked in the first sentence, was it done by the Dongping family?

"Go and check immediately. Find out where Meng Haowen went and who he met before he disappeared yesterday! You must be careful and cautious when investigating this matter. Don't let anyone know!" Li Pingan ordered anxiously.

"Yes."

The leading man nodded and retreated respectfully.

Li Pingan stared at the calligraphy he had just written on the desk, crumpled up the paper, and threw it away, feeling a little irritated...

**

Silent all night.

The next morning, Jiang Jiang got up early before daybreak to practice swordplay. Jiang Chaosheng was often not at home recently, so Jiang Jiang simply took his brother's long sword to practice.

Speaking of this sword, although it is not a famous sword, Jiang Jiang still remembers this long sword. It was a birthday gift given to Jiang Chaosheng by Li Mang who came back from escorting a caravan on his sixteenth birthday.

Thinking of Li Mang and the Li family, Jiang Jiang couldn't help but think of Li Ershan. Where is that guy now? How is he doing?

At this moment, Jiang Jiang didn't know that Li Ershan was already on his way back to the capital, and that he would meet them again soon...

Xiaotao got up early and prepared breakfast. Jiang Jiang and Yunyue left Muwa Lane after breakfast. However, this time they did not go to Baxingfang, but went directly towards Kyoto Prefecture.

Outside the government office, Jiang Jiang saw Liu Cheng'an from afar. Under the morning light, the figure was tall and majestic, worthy of being the male protagonist, carrying the glory of justice wherever he went.

only……

If you look closely, you will find that there is a hint of sadness in the corners of Liu Cheng'an's eyes and eyebrows, and a hint of haggardness.

"Master Liu."

Yun Yue stepped forward and nodded at Liu Cheng'an. At the gate of the government office, she changed her address to Liu Cheng'an and said, "Are you waiting here for us? When will the court session begin?"

"This……"

Liu Cheng'an hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yun Yue with complicated eyes: "Things have changed. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the court today!"

"What do you mean?" Yun Yue was stunned. Were those men in black silenced last night? Or did something else happen?

"Last night, I was escorting them to the government office when an accident happened. A group of people suddenly appeared on the way and wanted to rescue the assassins. I led my men to fight with them. During the fight, a drunk suddenly rushed in. Later, the drunk tried to escape, but the assassins chased him and killed him."

Liu Cheng'an's tone was very heavy.

Yun Yue and Jiang Jiang were both stunned for a moment, feeling that something seemed to be wrong. Soon Liu Cheng'an's next words made Jiang Jiang's face change drastically.

"Two of the assassins died, but I've managed to control the rest. Those who came to rescue them ran away when they realized they couldn't do anything. But... the drunkard killed by the assassins was someone very important. He was the eldest son of the Meng family, Meng Haowen!"

"Wha, what!"

Yun Yue looked surprised, while Jiang Jiang's expression was even more colorful——

You tell me, Meng Haowen is faking his death?

Didn't he die that night?

wrong……

Gu Yanqing checked his breath and found that he was already dead.

So who was the drunk "Meng Haowen" who appeared last night? Was he someone pretending to be him? In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Jiang Jiang's mind.

Yun Yue, who was standing by, was briefly surprised, then her expression suddenly became excited: "So, you mean, the Meng family is also involved in this matter?"

"Yes, Lord Meng requested that the assassins be brought to the Dali Temple for personal interrogation."

Having said that, Liu Cheng'an lowered his eyes and looked at Yun Yue deeply: "Also, Lord Meng wants to see you."

Yun Yue was not surprised, after all, what happened last night was caused by her.

"Cousin." Jiang Jiang nervously grabbed Yun Yue's hand: "I'll go with you."

"Miss Jiang, that's not necessary."

Liu Cheng'an spoke again at this time: "Lord Meng only wants to see me and Miss Yun."

"Jiang Jiang, I'm fine." Yun Yue smiled and patted the back of Jiang Jiang's hand, then turned to look at Liu Cheng'an: "Shall we go now? I want to get this matter over with as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Liu Cheng'an nodded, and took Yun Yue with him, and the two of them turned and headed towards the Dali Temple.

When Jiang Jiang saw the two people walking away, she hesitated for a moment, but still headed towards Fu Sheng Bookstore.
