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

"I..." Yuan Yan pursed his lips and teeth and was speechless for a long time.

Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes, leaned against the door with a tired look and yawned. He looked like he was about to take a rest.

Since the two are not the same position, there is no need to say too much. Just click until then.

The door closed again and Pei Jiaoran closed the window. Lying on the couch and sleeping with her clothes on, she had to gather enough energy to deal with many things to come.

At dawn, news came from Shence Prison. Yao Shiyu committed suicide in prison last night. He seemed to know what kind of situation he might face, and he was probably quite disappointed with the situation in the DPRK, so he made such a choice.

When I heard the news, the Yushitai was in a meeting. Everyone in the hall instantly fell into a strange depression.

Yao Shiyu, who was nearly seventy years old, had no children and was alone. But on weekdays he was upright, fair and strict, but in the end he could only die in this way. This move by the Eunuch Party is undoubtedly a wake-up call to all courtiers.

Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes and lowered his head. She knew that Yao Shiyu's death would stop the butcher's knife hanging over the heads of the courtiers. .

"Anyway, Yao Shiyu is from my Yushitai. Pei Shiyu, Yuan Shiyu, you two go to Shence Prison and bring Yao Shiyu back. This is what Wang Xianggong meant." Cui Tai The Lord said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran stood up first to accept the order, and Yuan Yanchong followed closely. The two of them took the four officials from Yushitai to Shence Gong's house.

The Shence Prison is located in the Shence Palace and is independent of the Three Divisions. According to the previous regulations of this dynasty, if the Jinwu Guard catches a criminal. Those whose native place is not Chang'an must be escorted to Dali Temple for disposal.

After ascending the throne and establishing the Shence Army, he not only granted them many powers, but also gave them some powers to review cases. It is intended to suppress the power of the Third Division.

Pei Jiaoran walked calmly.

Seeing Shence Gong's wife approaching, Yuan Yanchang suddenly grabbed her sleeve and frowned, "We..."

"What are you afraid of? Can you bear to see Yao Shiyu's corpse being slaughtered?" Pei Jiaoran's tone was indifferent.

He stepped forward and handed over the warrant from the Political Hall. The sergeant Shence at the door checked it and then stepped aside to make way for the six people to enter. At the same time, a person was sent to lead them to Shence Prison.

Sergeant Shence was practicing on the school field. Seeing them coming from a distance, they all held knives and let out an angry roar.

The few accompanying officials were startled and hurriedly followed him. The look of panic aroused a burst of ridicule from the Shence Army.

Xun Xun walked over, and Pei Jiaoran raised his lips. The few Shence sergeants who took the lead in mocking the timidity of the Yushitai officials quickly lowered their heads to avoid her gaze.

Following Sergeant Shence who led the way into the prison, the smell of blood made several people frown in unison. Crying and begging for mercy could be heard one after another.

Looking up to the front, he saw Lieutenant Tian walking over with a sinister look on his face, and two Shence sergeants dragging a bloody man behind him. The clothes on that man's body were no longer in their original appearance, but the Bagua diagram on his body could still be vaguely seen.

Judging from his appearance, he should be the Taoist priest who assassinated Jinshang.

"You're here, Vice Duan Pei." Lieutenant Tian stopped in front of her, raised his lips and smacked his lips, "Old man Yao couldn't help but be frightened. He committed suicide before he stayed even one night." After that, he turned sideways and kicked the bloody man. "This little Taoist priest is very hard-boned, and he refused to say who instigated it. Now Zhou Guixun has spoken and taken him out to see the sun. If he doesn't believe him, he won't speak. If he doesn't speak again, he will have to use some extraordinary means. . After all, the Shence Prison is no better than the Yushitai. We don’t follow the rules, we just want answers.”

Although the Yushitai also used torture methods, many of the torture methods of the previous dynasty were abolished after the current law was revised. It was replaced by the five statutory punishments of whipping, rod, exile, migration and death. Therefore, Yushitai's torture methods are relatively mild.

But now it seems that the people in Shence Prison are not only reviving the abolished torture, but are even abusing the stick and killing people with military methods.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yuan Yanchong shaking slightly, as if he was angered by Lieutenant Tian's words. Pei Jiaoran smiled and moved to block him.

"Such traitors will not be biased anywhere. We have been ordered to pick up Yao Shiyu. Could you please Lieutenant Tian, ​​please order someone to hand over Yao Shiyu's body quickly, so that we can go back and report to the stage master and all the gentlemen."

Listening to Pei Jiaoran's gentle voice, Lieutenant Tian smiled and nodded, "This is business. Bring out Yao Shiyu's body soon."

After receiving his instructions, the Shence sergeant who led them here should leave. After a while, he and another person worked together to bring a stretcher over and covered it with a piece of burlap.

"The body is here. Tian has something to do, so go ahead." After saying that, Lieutenant Tian waved his hand and led the people away arrogantly.

He leaned over and lifted up the white cloth, only to see Yao Shiyu's eyes wide open with anger. Pei Jiaoran pursed his lips and reached out to brush his eyes. The eyes finally closed.

A ray of skylight happened to fall on Yao Shiyu's face.

Looking at the tiny light, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes. In two lifetimes combined, she has seen too much life and death in the field of power. Originally I didn't feel much about Yao Shiyu's death, but looking at that light I couldn't help but feel sad.

Although Yao Shiyu was only in the sixth rank, he was the epitome of many officials in the court.

At first, the reason why they joined the officialdom may just be to provide a better life for their families and to shine on their families. However, as they come into contact with more and more power, and the storms wherever they go get higher and higher, their original intentions have long been lost. Under the wind and waves. The desire will not be as sincere as when I first entered the official position.

Their dynasty has been sailing in the vast sea for hundreds of years, and countless people have devoted themselves to it to help them move forward. They form an unbreakable alliance and share weal and woe. But the king on the throne changes, and the people at the card table also change with it.

Later generations took over the legacy of their predecessors and devoted themselves to it, either striving for profits or focusing on assisting the government, hoping to return to the prosperous age. However, people's hearts are always unpredictable. The helmsman of the empire has changed. Under the change of government orders, new moths have climbed onto the ship's hull, greedily eating everything. But after removing this new batch of moths, can the empire really return to its prosperous age?

"Let's go." Pei Jiaoran collected his thoughts, stood up and said indifferently.

Once you have chosen the path, there is no reason to regret it.

Seeing her opening her mouth, the four officials endured their grief. He lifted up the stretcher and protected Yao Shiyu's body from the cold and dark Shence Prison.

Xia Yang fell on the group of people.

Pei Jiaoran looked around and saw the Taoist priest being tied up and exposed to the hot sun. Sergeant Shence stood under a shed in the distance, eating fruits and cold drinks.

She raised her lips slightly and popped something out with her finger. The flying clothes just blocked Lieutenant Tian's sight.

Not far after they walked out of Shence Mansion, they heard Lieutenant Tian's roar coming from inside.

A Taoist priest who was accused of an unwarranted crime only lived to prey on innocent people. Rather than doing this, it would be better to die. At least it can prevent the butcher knife from falling and save others.

Escorted Yao Shiyu's body back to the Yushitai. The Zhengshitang had already sent someone to convey Wang Hui's intention.

Yao Shiyu died of a sudden illness in the palace.

There is no need to elaborate on the rest.

Determining the cause of Yao Shiyu's death is equivalent to denying his righteousness.

Pei Jiaoran's eyes showed ridicule as he watched Master Cui send Ling Shi away from the Zhengshi Hall. With the excuse that she still had some things to deal with, she left without looking back.

"It's really rebellious. I don't know why Duke Changli fell in love with her in the first place."

"The people at Zuo Shence were also very polite to her last night. Alas, it is the court's misfortune that this generation has entered the court."

"We are all on tenterhooks, but she is the only one who seems to be fine. This is the benefit of joining the army. Even the Shence Army is so polite to her."

There was endless discussion behind him, and Pei Jiaoran turned around and sneered: "You can also imitate me, why bother guarding your reputation for integrity?"
