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

"Your Majesty is also very curious about the Liu family's background. That's why I recruited so many people to go out and gather information. It's also for his own good. He knows it in his heart."

Gu Yanqing spoke slowly, saying that his relationship with Emperor Jianping was still very harmonious.

Liu family.

Hearing Gu Yanqing bring this up again, Jiang Jiang pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "The Liu family is also a century-old family in Qingyun Country. Especially after Liu Qizhang was promoted, the Liu family must have accumulated a lot of wealth. However, they are not as ostentatious as the Meng family, nor as extravagant as the Dongping family. I think the outfits of Liu Cheng'an and Liu Ruyue are just ordinary."

At this point, Jiang Jiang suddenly lowered her voice. "If the Liu family is truly the mastermind behind the Zhen's pawnshop and is controlling the bandits of Blood Tiger Ridge, then... they must have amassed countless ill-gotten gains over the years. Where is all that money now? Or rather, where did they spend it?"

Gold, silver and jewelry will not disappear out of thin air.

Even if it is kept in a bank or secretly hidden somewhere else, there will be traces.

There definitely wouldn't be so much money hidden in the Liu Mansion, and the Liu family's life was not extravagant.

Hearing Jiang Jiang's words, Gu Yanqing and Li Ping'an couldn't help but look at each other.

They have been looking for evidence that the Liu family has done something wrong, but they have never found any.

Perhaps, the direction was wrong from the beginning.

What they want to investigate is not the person, but... the whereabouts of the money!

"Do you think the Liu family is secretly planning something that requires a lot of money to support?"

Jiang Jiang didn't say it casually. She had been busy with the academy's affairs and was doing accounts every day.

She found that the things Li Ershan brought back from Xuehu Ridge were really valuable.

The bandits from Xuehu Ridge have been entrenched outside the capital for many years, and they should pay tribute to the forces behind them every year.

In other words, the wealth that Li Ershan took back was just the tip of the iceberg.

In the original plot, the people of Xuehu Ridge defected to the heroine Chu Yunyue and all held important positions in her business.

What if all this was also Liu Qizhan’s plan?

While he was trying to match his son with Chu Yunyue, he was also coveting Chu Yunyue's business empire!

Does this mean that Liu Qizhan needs a lot of money to do something big?

For example...

rebel?

In the finale of the original novel, the Liu family was caught off guard and slaughtered by the mad Gu Yanqing.

So, they had no chance to rebel.

what about now?

Is Liu Qizhan currently planning something?

"This Liu family has great ambitions."

Li Pingan on the side raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Yanqing deeply.

Gu Yanqing also thought of this -

Could it be that the Liu family really wants to rebel?

You know, when he said to Emperor Jianping, "The general's star will enter Ziwei," he did it on purpose.

It was just to stir up Emperor Jianping's suspicion towards the Liu family.

Now it seems that maybe it will come true?

Gu Yanqing and Li Pingan stood up at the same time, both looking solemn.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. It's a good opportunity for no one to disturb me while I settle the bill."

Jiang Jiang knew that both of them had things to do, so she just drove them away.

After the two people left, Jiang Jiang was the only one left in the room, and she felt a lot more at peace.

Jiang Jiang calmed down and subconsciously opened her system page, only to see that the countdown at the top of the page was still there, and it was becoming more and more conspicuous.

As expected, time was running out and she had to get everything in order.

**

In the late autumn of the fourth year of Jianping, the academy in the outer city finally began to recruit students, and on the first day of school it was packed with people.

After all, free admission and free classes are like pie in the sky for the people in the outer city.

As the first president of the college, Jiang Ping gave an impassioned opening speech. Because Jiang Ping had already gained a certain reputation in the outer city, the people still trusted him very much.

However, even so, there were still some minor disturbances on the first day of school, such as someone trying to sneak into the college to cause trouble, or someone with bad intentions bringing a large group of beggars to cause trouble.

Fortunately, Gu Yanqing and Jiang Jiang were well prepared and were able to deal with all emergencies one by one. The children who registered on the first day were also assigned classrooms. Because there were too many people registering on the first day, a staggered class system was finally adopted. In the future, the classes will be adjusted according to the learning situation of these children.

On this day, the entire outer city was extremely lively, and everyone was so excited that it was like New Year's Day.

And in the capital, everyone was watching the joke—

An unknown and second-rate academy, where even the dean is just an old juren, not even a jinshi.

You should know that there are many major academies in the capital. Even the worst academy has many great scholars and teachers who are all Jinshi graduates. The students in the academy all come from scholarly families, and the book collections in the academy are countless.

Only with such a configuration can it be called a college.

And the one in the outer city?

It's just a makeshift team, trying to attract attention, not worth mentioning!

When the great scholars in Beijing mentioned this, they all looked sarcastic, and the Fu family, a century-old scholarly family, was no exception.

"In this day and age, even a successful candidate can become the president of a college. Ha, it's ridiculous! It's misleading young people! It's misleading young people!"

When the young masters of the Fu family mentioned the newly opened academy in the outer city, they all looked disdainful.

"Third brother, don't say that. I heard that the academy only recruits children from peasants and refugees. They are all extremely ignorant. What kind of students are they?"

"Those poor fellows will never have the chance to take the imperial examination in their lifetime." The man in brocade robes beside him also said softly, "How ridiculous that academy is actually named Qingyun First Experimental Academy. How dare they claim to be number one?"

"It's just a joke." ...

A group of people were chatting excitedly and didn't notice a familiar figure passing by quietly, stopping and thinking for a long time.

"Qingyun First Experimental Academy?"

Fu Qingliu stopped and thought for a moment.

This academy seems quite interesting.

Business has been bad recently and Fu Qingliu's shop is on the verge of bankruptcy. He went home this time originally to ask his mother to sponsor him a little more money.

but……

Perhaps, he could try a different approach and become self-reliant? For example, he could become a teacher at the Qingyun First Experimental Academy?

"With my real talent and knowledge, it should be possible, right?"

Fu Qingliu subconsciously opened his folding fan and shook it a few times.

Okay, it’s settled!

Fu Qingliu raised his eyebrows proudly, changed direction, left the Fu family, and walked towards the city gate of the capital.

At this moment, he didn't know that this time, he would take a completely different path from his original life.

I was born to be useful.

Some people may never become the male protagonist, but they may become the teachers of countless future male protagonists...
