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

Next to the waterside pavilion in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Yanqing, dressed in a blue brocade suit, sat lazily on a bench by the lake. The handsome man blended perfectly with the scenery beside him, like a flawless painting.

This was the first time that Jiang Chaosheng was so close to his idol, and it was also the first time that he truly felt Gu Yanqing's breath and aura.

The person in front of me is obviously a handsome young man, but he has an unusually sharp aura that makes people dare not approach or look at him.

"Gu Xiang."

Jiang Chaosheng and Shen Guiyuan both stopped about five steps away from Gu Yanqing, and neither of them dared to move forward.

"Ah."

Gu Yanqing just raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the two of them, then he waved his hand calmly, and Mu Kang beside him understood and retreated.

There were only three of them left by the waterside pavilion. Gu Yanqing didn't say anything. Jiang Chaosheng and Shen Guiyuan didn't dare to look up or speak. The air was filled with the heavy and tense breathing of the two people.

silence.

A suffocating silence.

A quarter of an hour later, the upright Jiang Chaosheng finally couldn't hold back any longer. He raised his head and spoke eagerly, "Prime Minister Gu, we want to become your disciples and work with you to... implement the new policies!"

Gu Yanqing said nothing and didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Prime Minister Gu, we are sincere in our offer." Shen Guiyuan, who was standing by, could not help but speak up at this moment. "We all come from humble backgrounds and have always admired your great achievements. We beg you to give us a chance to follow in your footsteps and implement new policies together to make life better for the people of Qingyun Nation!"

"What great achievements have I made?"

Gu Yanqing finally spoke, his tone was exceptionally cold. His eyes, as deep as stars, just glanced at Shen Guiyuan casually. Just one glance made Shen Guiyuan's nerves tense, and his whole body stiffened.

It was obvious that the Prime Minister Gu in front of him was just a scholar, but Shen Guiyuan felt like he was facing a ferocious tiger.

After calming himself down, Shen Guiyuan spoke again, "Minister Gu, you have been working hard to implement new policies and re-plan land in recent years, so that those displaced people can have the opportunity to settle down again. Also, you started to rectify the administration and punish corrupt officials last year. Last year's tax case in Hezhou..."

Shen Guiyuan talked incessantly, becoming more and more excited.

It was obvious that he had done his homework in advance. When talking about Gu Yanqing's reforms and achievements in recent years, Shen Guiyuan was confident and well prepared, just like a little fan of Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing didn't say anything, just watched Shen Guiyuan perform quietly.

Jiang Chaosheng on the side nodded frequently -

Ah, yes, yes.

These are what he wanted to say.

But now... Shen Guiyuan has said it all.

Jiang Chaosheng hadn't realized that he had nothing to say. He just wholeheartedly agreed with Shen Guiyuan's words -

Gu Xiang is awesome.

Following Gu Xiang's footsteps, Qingyun Kingdom will definitely become better and better!

After a while.

Shen Guiyuan, who was talking until his mouth was dry, finally stopped.

He was a little confused.

I said so much and showed such sincerity, why... Gu Yanqing didn't react at all?

Before coming to see Gu Yanqing, Shen Guiyuan had made sufficient preparations. He had even thought about how to discuss the development and promotion of the new policy with Prime Minister Gu, and how to deal with the nobles in the capital.

however.

Gu Yanqing didn't give him any chance at all!

"Are you done?"

At this time, Gu Yanqing, who was sitting on the bench, raised his eyes again, and his gaze shifted from Shen Guiyuan's face to Jiang Chaosheng's face: "Jiang Chaosheng, why don't you say something too?"

Jiang Chaosheng raised his head excitedly when he was suddenly called by Gu Yanqing, but...

Say, say something?

Shen Guiyuan has finished speaking!

"I……"

Jiang Chaosheng was about to speak when he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

Mu Kang came hurriedly, his face very grim as he walked up to Gu Yanqing and reported: "Prime Minister, those refugees outside the capital are rioting!"

"what!"

Gu Yanqing on the chair hadn't reacted yet, but Jiang Chaosheng, who was standing not far away, had already spoken subconsciously with a nervous expression.

"Minister Gu, I... my home is in the outer city. I need to go back!"

Jiang Chaosheng spoke anxiously. At this moment, the only thing in his mind was his parents' safety. Everything else no longer mattered.

"Go."

Gu Yanqing waved his hand.

"Prime Minister Gu, I'm taking my leave now!" Shen Guiyuan on the side also took the opportunity to speak and left with Jiang Chaosheng.

After the two of them walked away, Gu Yanqing stood up and asked Mu Kang beside him, "What's going on with those refugees in the outer city?"

"It's spring plowing season, and many wealthy families are busy buying seeds for their tenant farmers. Meanwhile, those refugees outside the capital, instigated by someone, have flocked to grab seeds and food. Clashes have broken out, leading to riots. Now, troops from the Five Cities Military Commission have gone to the outer city to control the situation. Lord Prime Minister, could this be a deliberate act, intended to take advantage of the situation?"

Mu Kang had a lot of thoughts in his mind. If those refugees had not been instigated by someone, they would never have been so bold.

But what is the real purpose of the people behind it?

That little bit of food and seeds is not worth much...

"I see."

After hearing Mu Kang's words, Gu Yanqing just nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards his own courtyard.

"Tell someone to prepare the carriage, I will go to the palace."

Gu Yanqing gave instructions as he walked, and Mu Kang immediately nodded and did as he was told.

**

Outside the gate of the Gu Mansion, Jiang Chaosheng walked hurriedly, and Shen Guiyuan also jogged to catch up with him.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, wait for me!"

Shen Guiyuan ran to Jiang Chaosheng's side and asked anxiously, "Do you want to go back alone? It's too dangerous. Why don't you and I go to the government office together? With my reputation, I should be able to mobilize some people to help."

The outer city is in such a mess now. Shen Guiyuan feels it is unsafe for Jiang Chaosheng to go back alone.

Jiang Chaosheng is a very useful person, and Shen Guiyuan doesn't want to let this chess piece go.

"It will take some time to get to the government office. I have to go home immediately. By the way."

Jiang Chaosheng suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Shen Guiyuan beside him and said, "I made an appointment with my sister when I went out. I will go to Huang's house to pick her up later. Now I need you to help me run the trip."

Jiang Chaosheng couldn't take Jiang Jiang back, so he told Shen Guiyuan the address of the Huang family, and after saying a few words, he strode away.

"Brother Jiang!"

Shen Guiyuan watched Jiang Chaosheng walk away. As a real weak scholar, he really couldn't catch up with Jiang Chaosheng.

"Hey."

Shen Guiyuan shook his head, looked at the gate of the Gu Mansion behind him, recalled the address Jiang Chaosheng told him, turned around and walked quickly in another direction...
