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

When Pei Jiaoran came back, Master Cui was playing chess with Wei Duangong. When they heard Ling Shi reporting that she actually brought Sun Dun back from Shence Gong's house, everyone was shocked.

"She is really quite capable. Our Yushitai has not been so majestic in front of the Shence Army for a long time." Master Cui stroked his beard with emotion, "When is she going to interrogate Sun Dun? Let's do it. Yuan Yanchong, let’s go with her.”

"What do you want to do again?" Wei Duangong said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Master Cui was filled with confusion, "Xiao Yuan hasn't married yet, has he? Although Pei Jiaoran has joined Jia Gonglu now, he is not married yet. We might as well bring them together, maybe we can persuade her to come back."

"You'd better give up on this idea. With Xiao Yuan's temperament and methods, even if ten of him put together are no match for Pei Jiaoran. Maybe we have to hook him up." Wei Duangong shook his head, his eyes filled with disapproval.

It seems that what Wei Duangong said makes sense. Master Cui nodded thoughtfully.

"Go to the political affairs hall and let us know. I'm afraid the household department will be busy again this time." Master Cui ordered Ling Shi.

Shi was ordered to leave.

Pei Jiaoran, who was reading documents in Xitui's public house, naturally did not know the conversation and calculations between Cui and Wei. After flipping through the last document in her hand, she stood up and walked to the window. After reaching out and holding the ray of golden light, he lowered his eyelashes and closed his eyes.

She was in no hurry to interrogate Sun Dun. He was imprisoned in the prison cell and ordered to give him only the same simple meal every meal. He was not allowed to light any lights in the prison and was covered with black cloth. Leave only some space for ventilation, but don't allow light to leak in. And only when eating dinner, an oil lamp will be provided.

As soon as Sun Dun finished eating, he immediately removed the oil lamp.

Sun Dun was imprisoned for five days. Pei Jiaoran was not idle during the past five days. He took the documents from the Yushitai and ordered the Jinwu Guards to raid Sun Dun's home and hand over all the stolen money to the Ministry of Household Affairs. On the same day, he took the imperial censor who was in charge of Zhixitui today to check the cashier in Taicang.

During this period, Master Cui called her to ask about the situation. He said that the Ministry of Revenue was pressing hard and asked when the stolen money would be settled. When asked about it, Pei Jiaoran just said wait. Lieutenant Liu also sent someone to ask her what she wanted to do and why she didn't care about Sun Dun's crime. Pei Jiaoran's answer was also to wait.

On the sixth day, she received the order from Master Cui. Enter the push room to interrogate Sun Dun.

Sun Dun, who had been locked up in the dark room for five whole days, looked haggard when he was escorted out by the jailer. Seeing Pei Jiaoran kowtow repeatedly, he said that he was wrong.

Although he had never been hungry in the past few days, he never gave him any light. The only time he saw light was when he was eating dinner. These are nothing, the main thing is that he finally fell asleep, and when he was half asleep, he suddenly heard the sound of dripping water coming from his ears, and the sound of nails scraping against the wall.

He barely got a good night's sleep. I wanted to hit him to death, but found that there were cushions all around. He didn't even have a way to commit suicide.

Glancing at Sun Dun, who was kowtowing as if he was pounding garlic, Pei Jiaoran glanced sideways at Yuan Yanchong, "Yuan Sanduan will be tried first?"

"Is it necessary to interrogate him like this?" Yuan Yanchong glared at her, "Isn't this how Li Qian was tortured by you?"

The word "Li Qian" hit his ears, and Pei Jiaoran chuckled. Whether it is Sun Dun or Li Qian, they are all the same in nature. Punishing them may not be useful, but breaking their spirits is the best way.

Although Yuan Yanchong was unwilling to retrial, Pei Jiaoran still asked Sun Dun a few questions very competently.

But Sun Dun was frightened into a trance. No matter what Pei Jiaoran asked, he always answered yes or took it over. The clerk on the side quickly wrote a confession. After writing it, I immediately submitted it to Pei Jiaoran.

After glancing at the document, Pei Jiaoran motioned to the jailer to grab Sun Dun's hand and sign it.

The Yushitai's mission is now mostly over. The rest is to wait for the Ministry of Household Affairs to convert the stolen funds into cash, and then the Yushitai will be punished according to the severity of the stolen money. The Ministry of Household Affairs needs to quickly put the stolen money into the treasury for expenditure.

While sending people to the Ministry of Household Affairs to pass the message, Pei Jiaoran quietly sent someone to inform Lieutenant Liu. And she herself went to see Jia Gonglu with a new confession written by Sun Dun.

When he saw her, Jia Gonglu was quite surprised. However, he still ordered his servants to serve tea.

Not long after, a purple-robed servant came slowly. Seeing him coming, Jia Gonglu gave up his seat and took the lower left position. The purple-robed chamberlain stared at her with a half-smile.

Although he didn't speak, Pei Jiaoran already recognized him.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - Zhang Rang.

"Gui Jiao." Pei Jiaoran called.

"Originally, our family wanted to send someone to invite Pei Shiyu to come, but I didn't expect you to come in person." Zhang Rang said warmly, twisting the urn.

Hearing what Zhang Rang meant, Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and said, "It's up to me to make the decision to go to Shence to recruit people. However, the lower officials have no choice but to do so."

"Oh? Tell me, who forced you."

"Bibu. Bibu clearly knew that there was a problem in the account books, but he chose to pick it out when I first took office. He just wanted to use me to make some plans." At this point, Pei Jiaoran paused and looked ashamed, "I'm the official If we don't investigate, people from Bibu can report it to the Minister of Finance, saying that the subordinate officials are practicing favoritism and perverting the law. Wouldn't it be a waste of Xianggong Jia's hard work in promoting subordinate officials."

Hearing this, Zhang Rang chuckled and said, "What a clever word to make." After speaking, he picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it at Pei Jiaoran.

The teacup hit Pei Jiaoran's shoulder and instantly burst to the ground. Tea wet her shoulders.

"Gui Xun calm down. According to Sun Dun's confession, the lower official found that there were people in Bibu who were cheating with him. Moreover, those people in Bibu were all their people, so the lower official thought that they could use this to get rid of those people."

She bit them both very hard. Sure enough, Zhang Rang's eyes flashed with thought.

Seeing this, Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. For Zhang Rang and Jia Gonglu, losing an insignificant Sun Dun can give them the opportunity to install people in Bibu. It's a good deal anyway.

"You are angry that those people from Bibu plotted against you?" Zhang Rang sneered in his throat, "You are so courageous. Previously, you were plotting to seize the military power of Jinchang Town General, and now you are plotting against you. What else can you do, Pei Jiaoran? What kind of thing?"

The smile on Pei Jiaoran's face was still there, "Gui Jue is joking. Everything was done as a last resort before, but now that the official and they have parted ways, I naturally have to follow the lead of you and Mr. Jia in everything."

Looking at her, Zhang Rang had deep meaning in his eyes.

Raising his head to meet Zhang Rang's gaze, Pei Jiaoran looked particularly gentle. From the current point of view, she should be considered to have passed this level. As long as she can successfully recruit those people from Bibu, Jia and Zhang will trust her even more.

After a while, Jia Gonglu waved her hand and sent her away.

Pei Jiaoran bowed his hands to say goodbye and stepped out.

Standing in the corridor, Pei Jiaoran exhaled turbid air. He glanced at the tea stalk stuck to his shoulder and flicked it with his fingers. Shi Ran stepped down the stone steps, his peach blossom eyes filled with cold silence.
