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

The Gu Mansion's carriage moved forward slowly and steadily.

"Girl, girl's."

Jiang Jiang muttered softly: "It's obviously Miss Liu, don't say you don't know her."

"Ok?"

Gu Yanqing lowered his eyes slightly, lowered his head and rubbed Jiang Jiang's cheek with his chin: "What did you say?"

"No, I didn't say anything."

Jiang Jiang dodged and tried to break free from Gu Yanqing's arms, but Gu Yanqing held her tightly.

"Don't move, just be nice."

Gu Yanqing leaned in and whispered in Jiang Jiang's ear. The warm and familiar breath tickled her ears and made her heart flutter.

This... I have to hide.

She was afraid that she didn't have enough self-control.

"I know Liu Ruyue, but I'm not familiar with her at all. She's just a stranger."

Gu Yanqing was no longer teasing Jiang Jiang at this time, but hugged her and spoke seriously.

"By the way, when you said it wouldn't take long, did you mean you've already found a way to deal with the Liu family?"

Jiang Jiang also became serious at this time. The affairs of the Liu family were the most difficult things in the world.

Let’s not talk about how many hidden tricks the Liu family has, the Liu family army is the biggest problem.

"In fact, General Xue and I had already found evidence of the Liu family's evil intentions, and His Majesty was also aware of it. However... at that time, the Liu family army was still far away at the border, so we didn't dare to act rashly."

Gu Yanqing's eyes were very sharp.

Let's not talk about whether Liu Qizhan and his men can be killed in one fell swoop. If the news of what happened in the capital reaches the border, and the Liu family army rebels or mutinis outside, then... the consequences will be unimaginable.

"So, you're staying put until Liu Cheng'an returns to the capital?"

Jiang Jiang looked at Gu Yanqing.

"That's right. At least for now, the Liu family army is all outside the capital, and the Xue family army has long received the secret order from His Majesty and stationed a hundred miles outside the capital, trapping the Liu family army from the outside."

In fact, it is not just the Xue family army, but also a part of the imperial guards, the city guards of Kyoto Prefecture, the Five Cities Army, and... everyone from the Divine Constable's Department.

All the forces used by His Majesty and Gu Yanqing are prepared for the worst at this moment.

"How confident are you this time?"

Jiang Jiang raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yanqing nervously.

"100% sure."

Gu Yanqing smiled gently at Jiang Jiang.

He never does anything without confidence, and this time in order to bring down the Liu family, he has indeed made perfect arrangements.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late.

He waited for fifteen years, and finally this day came.

100% sure?

Gu Yanqing actually dared to say that, could it be...

Jiang Jiang suddenly thought of something, and her eyes were full of strange colors: "Are you planning to take action at the wedding banquet of the Meng and Liu families?"

The Liu family will definitely make good preparations for Liu Ruyue’s wedding, and all the important figures under Liu Qizhan will definitely be present!

This is indeed a rare opportunity.

"So... you actually have a secret ally, it's... Minister Meng!"

Jiang Jiang spoke in a low voice, but her tone was very firm.

"Little clever devil."

Gu Yanqing smiled.

Yes, he does have a very strong ally.

That is Meng Xiang, who lost his son in middle age and was determined to avenge his son!

"When did you form the alliance? Even Dong Pingchuan doesn't know about this, right?" Jiang Jiang asked curiously.

Gu Yanqing lowered his eyes, and his memory seemed to go back to more than a year ago——

The seventh day of the ninth month in the third year of Jianping.

Meng House.

Ever since Meng Haowen's death, there seemed to be an invisible oppression in the air of the Meng Mansion. Everyone was cautious and didn't dare to speak loudly.

The eldest son met with an unexpected disaster, the third daughter was heartbroken and bedridden, and rumors of the seventh son of the Dongping family's romantic affair were spreading throughout the capital...

All these things made the servants in the Meng Mansion feel extremely uneasy.

Today, as usual, after dinner, Meng Xiang came to the backyard, Meng Haowen's residence, alone.

In the eyes of others, Meng Haowen is a playboy, unforgivable, arrogant and domineering.

But in Meng Xiang's eyes, Meng Haowen was just a child who was spoiled by him.

Everyone in the capital laughed at the Meng family for having an incompetent eldest son. Everyone thought that Meng Xiang hated this waste and focused on cultivating his second son.

But only Meng Xiang himself knew that what he loved most was his eldest son.

"Crench."

Meng Xiang slowly pushed open the familiar door. The room was dim and pitch black, but he could vaguely see a figure in the room.

"who!"

Meng Xiang's eyes turned cold. He didn't feel nervous or afraid at all, only endless coldness in his eyes.

"Master Meng, it's me."

In the darkness, the tall man slowly turned around and gently raised his hand to take off the hood covering his head. His perfect and cold outline was still very eye-catching in the darkness.

"Gu, Yan, Qing!"

Meng Xiang frowned and said in a very unhappy tone: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to make a deal with Lord Meng." Gu Yanqing walked step by step to Meng Xiang's front.

"Make a deal with this old man?"

Meng Xiang narrowed his eyes and said with disdain, "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to make a deal with you, Minister Gu."

"Master Meng, don't you want to know who killed your son?" Gu Yanqing said straight to the point, his eyes as cold as a pond staring intently at Meng Xiang's face: "I know who is behind this!"

"what!"

Meng Xiang's pupils trembled slightly, but he quickly calmed down: "Why should I believe you?"

There is definitely something fishy about Meng Haowen's death, but unfortunately, there are too few clues. Even though Meng Xiang has been sending people to investigate, he still hasn't gained much.

"We now have a common enemy."

Gu Yanqing slowly stretched out his hand and took out a token engraved with patterns from under his black robe.

That was the identity token of the Gu Mansion, engraved with the Gu family logo.

Seeing the token is like seeing Gu Xiang.

"I am sincere in cooperating with you, Lord Meng. Moreover, after this revenge, I will retire and stay away from the court forever."

Gu Yanqing looked at Meng Xiang and said in a very serious tone: "I, Gu Yanqing, always keep my word. I just don't know if you, Lord Meng, are willing to believe me!"

This is also a big gamble.

In fact, Gu Yanqing did not have any direct evidence that the Liu family had harmed Meng Haowen, but Gu Yanqing bet that Meng Xiang would cooperate with him.

Because, cooperating with him has more advantages than disadvantages!

As the Minister of Revenue, Meng Xiang has always put profit first. He should know what choice is most beneficial to him and the Meng family!

"Happy cooperation!"

In the end, Meng Xiang accepted the token from Gu Yanqing and also gave him a token from the Meng family as a token of trust.

**

In the carriage, Jiang Jiang listened to Gu Yanqing's story and couldn't help but ask, "So you were secretly collaborating back then?"

"Indeed, I had already reached a cooperation with the Meng family at that time. Otherwise, with Meng Xiang's personality, how could he have gotten away with the murder of Yuzhou officials outside the capital and the loot being robbed so easily?"

Gu Yanqing whispered that the matter of Blood Tiger Ridge was resolved so quickly, in fact, Lord Meng had put in a lot of effort, and of course, Prime Minister Qin's help was also indispensable.

"So, the marriage between the Meng and Liu families is also part of your plan?"

It turns out that everyone is a chess piece in this game.
