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

The four Jinwu guards politely bowed their hands to Pei Jiaoran and showed her the documents from the Yushitai. Seeing Jin Wuwei step forward to escort Zuo Zangcheng away, she nodded and stepped aside.

"Pei Fuduan, do we have made a great contribution?" Chen Shiyu asked in a deep voice.

Pei Jiaoran glanced at Chen Shiyu and saw the desire for an official position hidden in his eyes. Pei Jiaoran's lips tightened slightly. Then a smile appeared, "I will discuss my merits and reward you now. Go back, you and I will be busy next."

As she thought, the theft of Zuozangku caused quite a stir in the court. Especially during the anti-autumn period, the sudden theft of Zuozangku made many people wonder whether someone had done it deliberately.

However, it still depends on what comes out of the trial. Although there were not many officials in Zuozangku, the supervisor of Zuozang's cashier was within the purview of Zhixitui, so Pei Jiaoran plunged into the Tuiji room again.

Joining her in pushing the ball was Chen Shiyu.

The smell of rust floated in the air, and Pei Jiaoran sat down and watched Chen Shiyu interrogate Zuo Zangling.

They had already interrogated Zuo Zangcheng not long ago, and he said he knew nothing. Having no time to spend more time with him, Pei Jiaoran immediately ordered the jailer to bring Zuo Zangling for questioning, and arranged for Zuo Zangcheng to be placed in the next room.

"Where is the stolen silk cloth in the warehouse?" Chen Shiyu asked coldly.

Zuo Zangling said firmly, "I don't know."

Pei Jiaoran frowned and glanced at Geng Lu beside him. An hour had passed. Chen Shiyu still couldn't get these two people to speak.

"Why must Chen Shiyu's methods be so gentle?" Pei Jiaoran moved his eyes and looked at Zuo Zangling coldly, "You still have to use torture when it's time to use torture."

"Here."

After answering, Chen Shiyu turned around and went out, bringing four jailers over with several instruments of torture. Under Zuo Zangling's horrified gaze, he ordered the jailers to tie his limbs and press him to the ground. He placed a copper dove on its belly, and placed a few pieces of charcoal from a copper basin on top of it.

The heat in the copper plate gradually increased, and screams could be heard in my ears. Zuo Zangling was seen struggling continuously, like a fish that had been dehydrated for a long time and was about to die.

The smell of burnt flesh entered his nose, and Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but frown.

Chen Shiyu's interrogation continues. As long as Zuo Zangling refused to answer, a jailer would immediately add carbon to the copper plate, while another jailer would hit his knees with a hammer.

"Vice Duan Pei, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here." An official said at the door.

Before Pei Jiaoran could speak, a strong scent of sandalwood drifted over from outside. It mixed with the smell in the tuiju room and turned into an indescribable smell that made people almost nauseous.

"Oh, I thought Yushitai acted fairly. I didn't expect that he would also be punished."

Listening to this slightly sharp voice, Pei Jiaoran turned around. I saw a man who looked like a chamberlain standing at the door with his nose covered and a look of disgust on his face, followed by several Shence sergeants.

It was Cao Wenzhong, the guardian of the left army.

"Cao Hujun." Pei Jiaoran called with a smile.

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhong nodded, "Your Majesty was very angry when he heard that the Zuozang Treasury was stolen. He specially ordered Zhang Jujuan to pass the order to Lieutenant Tian and ask the Shence Army to cooperate with the Yushitai to investigate the case of the theft of Zuozang."

Looking at Cao Wenzhong, Pei Jiaoran's smile faded a little, and then he became mocking. Is Zhang Rang planning to use this matter to carve up the power of Yushitai?

"Then where does Cao Hujun plan to interrogate?" Pei Jiaoran made way for a way and sighed: "The Yushitai is far away from Shence Gong's house, so I thought it would be better to just go to Tuiju Fang. It would also save Cao Hujun. It’s hard work going back and forth.”

Seeing Pei Jiaoran's appearance, Cao Wenzhong looked evil. But thinking about the cold wind outside, I could only hold back my anger and strode to the main seat to sit down.

The position was occupied by Cao Wenzhong in a grand manner. Pei Jiaoran's face was as usual and he stood aside coldly with his hands behind his hands. He watched silently as Sergeant Shence who came with him drove Chen Shiyu away and asked himself.

Zuo Zangcheng, who was originally arranged by her next door, was also arrested. Deputy officials of Zuo Zangzhu accepted the questioning from Sergeant Shence.

Although I had heard about the military torture in Shence Prison early in the morning, I still felt horrified when I saw it with my own eyes.

From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Chen Shiyu was looking at him, and Pei Jiaoran tilted his head to look at him. Seeing the admiration on his face, he turned his head as if nothing had happened.

"Pei Fuduan is so courageous. Ordinary people are frightened when they first see the interrogation of Shence Prison, but you look calm." Cao Wenzhong said with a smile.

When he stopped talking, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "If you are even afraid of this, how can you be appointed censor?"

"Pei Fuduan is truly a woman." Cao Wenzhong's eyes wandered to her, and his voice was soft, "It is really a waste of resources to have such an immortal beauty trapped in the Yushitai. Why don't you follow me and become a eunuch's wife?"

As he said this, he actually wanted to hug Pei Jiaoran's waist. Ever since that day when he accidentally caught a glimpse of her appearance, he racked his brains to think of seducing such a beauty into his own bed and having a taste of her beauty. Even though he is a concubine, he still likes beauties, especially those who have both talent and beauty.

Taking a step to the side, Pei Jiaoran poked out Cao Wenzhong's eyes with a smile, "Guards, be careful when trouble comes from your mouth." She stroked her sleeves lightly, "I will truthfully report what you said today to Zhang Jujun."

Cao Wenzhong was a notoriously greedy person in the Shence Army, and he had raped many women from good families into his mansion for entertainment. In her previous life, she had repeatedly impeached him for this, but to no avail. Cao Wenzhong is still at large and causing harm to Chang'an.

"You!" Cao Wenzhong's expression suddenly changed, and he was obviously quite annoyed.

"Cao Hujun should just calmly review the case. After all, His Majesty is very angry about this. If he can get His Majesty's praise, why should the Guardsman not be promoted to a noble rank?" Pei Jiaoran smiled at ease.

The chief and deputy officials of Zuozangku, who were tortured in turn by Yushitai and Shence Army, finally spoke. Revealed where the stolen money was. It turned out that they secretly transported the silk cloth in the warehouse to the market and sold it for profit on the grounds that the silk cloth in the warehouse was dirty and damaged.

Looking at the dying adjutant of Zuozangzhu, Chen Shiyu came forward holding the document and said, "More than two thousand pieces of silk have been lost in Zuozang's treasury. According to the laws of our dynasty, any official who steals official property in his charge shall be the guardian of the prison." Self-stealing is punished with a second-level penalty compared with ordinary theft. The stolen goods are worth eighty for a stick of one foot, ninety for a stick, two years for five sticks, two and a half years for ten sticks, and up to thirty sticks. "

"No, we have to retrial! What if these two people have accomplices!" Cao Wenzhong said angrily.

"If he is tried again, he will be tortured until he confesses. How credible does Cao Hujun think such a verdict is?" Pei Jiaoran glanced at Chen Shiyu, signaling him to take him down quickly.

Seeing that the jailer at Yushitai was about to take the person away, Cao Wenzhong no longer cared about the word self-cultivation, pointed at her and roared: "Pei Jiaoran, you are so brave, how dare you disobey the holy will!"

"This is the Yushitai, not Shence Gongshe. If Cao Hujun is dissatisfied, he can impeach me at any time." Pei Jiaoran smiled and said warmly: "The crimes committed by the two of them are all within the law, and they are officials. Body. The Yushitai was ordered to depose the two men and have obtained oral confessions. If the guards are not convinced, they can report to His Majesty and issue an order for the Third Division to preside over the case."
