After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

When the drum beat sounded in Chang'an City, Pei Jiaoran got up from the bed. After eating the morning meal in the square, we calculated that it was almost time to leave the square and rode towards Yongxing Square.

The streets are still bustling. She reined in her horse and looked at the word "Jia Zhai" in front of her. She stepped forward and knocked on the door with a calm expression. A porter came out and looked at her suspiciously.

Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly and stepped forward to hand over the greeting card. The porter led her into the small room and waited, allowing him to report to his master.

Not long after, the concierge returned. She brought a servant over and said that Mr. Jia was waiting for her in the study.

The servant led her to the study. Seeing the defense pavilion waiting at the door, he turned to her and said, "Pu She is discussing something. Please wait here."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded and stood upright under the spring sun. She knew what Jia Gonglu had planned, and he just wanted to use this to frustrate her pride. If she had been treated like this in her previous life, she would naturally be angry. But it's different now, she knows what she should and shouldn't do.

I don't know how many hours he stood there, but Pei Jiaoran still maintained a gentle and warm smile on his face. Although the spring sun is not as hot as the summer sun, you will still sweat after standing for a long time. Looking around her from the corner of her eye, she sighed silently.

Pei Jiaoran frowned slightly as he watched the maid bring the food into the house.

An hour later, the door opened, and three or four officials filed out.

They were quite surprised when they saw Pei Jiaoran. But it was only a brief change, and they left smiling again. And Pei Jiaoran was finally invited into the study.

Only Jia Gonglu was left in the study.

"The lower official Pei Jiaoran kowtows to see Jia Pushe." Pei Jiaoran bent his knees and bowed.

"Yes." Jia Gonglu held tea and smiled, and said warmly: "I am busy with official duties, so I made you wait outside for so long. I hope Jun Pei will understand me."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Mr. Jia, you are serious in your words. You are a superior official, and this is my first time to see you. What's the harm in waiting for a few hours?"

"Jun Pei is very reasonable. I have liked you since the first time I saw you. It's a pity that they took the lead, but fortunately you are still smart and didn't do anything stupid." Jia Gonglu tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes full of meaning.

"People are always confused. It's not impossible to rein in the horse and turn back in time." After saying this, Pei Jiaoran knelt down and bowed to the ground, his voice sincere, "Before, for my own selfish desires, I provoked my servant to shoot you. I hope that my servant will shoot you, Give me a chance." She took a bunch of things from her arms and held them high above her head.

After the words fell, Jia Gonglu did not answer, but the gaze that fell on her was cold and biting. Pei Jiaoran pursed her lips. She knew that Jia Gonglu wanted to recruit her, but he might not trust her wholeheartedly.

Silence fell in the room. She seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat.

"Jun Pei is really a smart man. Has Jun Pei seen these things?" Jia Gonglu said with a smile.

Sensing that his gaze had softened, Pei Jiaoran raised his head to meet Jia Gonglu's scrutinizing gaze, "I've seen it."

Finally the topic came up.

Pei Jiaoran looked terrified. She had been waiting for Jia Gonglu to ask about it. She had her words ready.

Seeing Jia Gonglu looking worried. Pei Jiaoran said in a deep voice: "When I first read the account books, I was deeply shocked and couldn't believe it. I heard that Pushe was frugal and honest, how could he do such a thing? And the commander-in-chief of a vassal town was famous for his actions. He manages the army well, and everyone in the army follows his lead, so naturally it is impossible for him to do such a thing. Therefore, I wonder if someone is deliberately framed with the intention of destroying the discipline of our court. "

Standard official tone, watertight answers.

Jia Gonglu narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Xu must be my previous enemy. Since Mr. Pei doesn't believe it, why not burn it?"

"This..." Pei Jiaoran hesitated in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "This is not good. If someone deliberately framed it, maybe we can find out the mastermind behind it."

"What if it's not? Mr. Pei, don't be a fool. It's better to burn such things as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble. Bring in a brazier."

The servant outside the house left and soon came in with a brazier. He presented the letters and account books in Pei Jiaoran's hand to Jia Gonglu, and then returned them to her.

"Pei Jun, burn it yourself." Jia Gonglu said with a smile.

Yiyan opened the letters one by one and threw them into the fire, and the firelight reflected on Pei Jiaoran's face. By the time she finished burning the last page of the account book, it was already half an hour later.

"Thank you, Mr. Pei. I've seen it. In the past few years, except for the first two years when you were only in middle school, you were the best in the last two years. You can barely be considered to be at the top of the exam class." Jia Gonglu paused and smiled. He opened his mouth and said, "It happens that Ding You, the minister of Zhou Dynasty, is the minister at Yushitai, so why don't you go to Yushitai and serve as your minister? How about that?"

"Thank you Mr. Jia for your support. I will serve you as an official." Pei Jiaoran looked happy.

"You are not serving me, you are serving His Majesty. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Nod with satisfaction. Jia Gonglu ordered his servants to come out with brand new dark green official robes and fish charms.

Looking at the official robe and fish charm in the hands of the servant, Pei Jiaoran bowed and knelt down again.

"Pei Shiyu." Jia Gonglu called.

"The subordinate is here."

"You did a good job in what happened yesterday." Jia Gonglu said with deep meaning in his eyes, "Tomorrow, remember to go to the Political Affairs Hall to pay homage to all the gentlemen, and then go to the Yushitai to report."

"Yes. It's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest. I'll say goodbye first." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

Upon hearing this, Jia Gonglu waved his hand to signal her to leave.

After crossing the threshold, Pei Jiaoran's lips curled up slightly. After going round and round, I still go to the Yushitai first. But judging from Jia Gonglu's appearance, it shouldn't be so easy for her in this life at Yushitai.

The next day, when the drum beat sounded in Chang'an City. Pei Jiaoran stood up neatly, put on his brand new dark green robe, tied on the fish charm, put on the futou, ate some dry food and went out.

Chongyifang was close to Anshangmen, so Pei Jiaoran simply entered the imperial city through Anshangmen and handed over the fish charm. Take the familiar route along Anshangmen Street, pass through Chengtianmen Cross Street, enter Yongan and Anren Gates, and then go to Zhengshitang.

The scenery remains the same as before, or in other words, the square imperial city in Chang'an City has never changed. The only thing left is the sky above that has witnessed countless changes. There is moisture lingering in the breath, which seems to be the smell of the centuries-old ups and downs of the imperial city below.

Pei Jiaoran pursed his lips as he glanced at the cypress trees planted on both sides. This imperial city hides countless public houses, and entering it is equivalent to being imprisoned. Once you step into this place, it's like being trapped, and you have no control over everything.

He raised his head and stood at the foot of the stone steps, looking at the plaque of Zhengshi Hall. Pei Jiaoran narrowed her eyes. The day when she first entered the political hall in her previous life, the sun was quite bright and it was not as gloomy and humid as today.

She was dressed and dressed in front of the bronze mirror in front of the door, and stepped onto the stone steps with a smile on her face. When the officials in front of the door saw her coming, they hurriedly went in to report her.

Take off your boots, open the door, enter the house, and salute. He raised his head and looked around at the four people in the room. They were all familiar faces, except Jia Gonglu. After thinking about it, she understood what Jia Gonglu wanted to do. Shi Ran walked to the case and knelt down.

"Pei Shiyu, although you have done well in Jinchang in the past two years and have made great achievements in defending the city against enemies, your exams in the first two years can only be regarded as average. This time you are admitted to the Yushitai in an exceptional way, which is particularly special today. Thank you for your kindness. I hope you can supervise all the officials for the court and maintain the peace of the government. Don't let down the cultivation that Duke Changli has given you and the expectations that your superiors have for you." The leader of the purple-robed Xiangong said with a smile.

Pei Jiaoran lowered his head when he heard the words, "As a low-ranking official, I should serve my best."

"Well. Duke Changli has cultivated you. If he hadn't single-handedly promoted you, how could you be where you are today? Your memorial was indeed well written, but it was a pity that your words were too arrogant. If Duke Changli hadn't shouldered the blame for you, how could you have come back. "The man in purple robe on the left scolded.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and glanced at him coolly.

She expected to be questioned. But she didn't want to talk nonsense with them. She and Wuchang Li each wanted what they wanted, so it would be ridiculous to threaten her with this.

Pei Jiaoran smiled and said: "You gentlemen are joking. My memorial is written for the people. I am merciful, pity the people's hardships, overcome all difficulties, and exempt from taxes. This is the virtue of my Majesty. If your Majesty really wants to punish me, I have no complaints either.”

Heared by her words, the faces of all the princes in purple robes changed slightly. But he soon regained his composure.

The leader, the purple-robed gentleman, waved his hand to signal her to leave.

Pei Jiaoran said goodbye obediently. After stepping out of the political hall, he stood under the verandah and took a deep breath.

"It's a smoky atmosphere."
