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

Seeing Pei Jiaoran's rogue look, Cao Wenzhong snorted coldly. He wished he could take her back to Shence Prison and teach her a lesson. But Zhang Jujuan repeatedly told him not to be rude to him. He led a group of divine soldiers and walked away.

"Vice-President, he's finally gone? Why don't we write a document to impeach him immediately? How dare you be so rude." Chen Shiyu, who came in from outside, looked unhappy.

"Give me the judgment paper." Pei Jiaoran stretched out his hand and said warmly: "You have been busy for several days. Go back and rest."

Taking the judgment paper from his arms and handing it to Pei Jiaoran, Chen Shiyu said with disdain: "Sooner or later I will impeach these eunuchs." After saying that, he looked outside again and whispered: "Should we trace the thing? Where is it? Now that autumn is around the corner...this is not a small sum of money."

How could it be a small number? The reason why Cao Wenzhong came was probably because of what Zhang Rang and Jin Shang said. I couldn't make any progress in Zuo Zangku today, so I probably have a last resort.

"No need." Pei Jiaoran calmly stood up and walked out, "I will go to the political hall to report the matter to all the ministers. If you go on, if Shen Ce Prison wants to come to arrest someone, they will not be allowed to do so."

"Here." Chen Shiyu replied loudly.

After getting up and leaving the Tuiju room, Pei Jiaoran walked along the corridor. The autumn sun above my head burned my eyes, but it was no longer as bright as the summer sun. She frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

The chief and adjutants of Zuozangku were all killed for their crimes. From then on, Zhang Rang, Jia Gonglu and Wang Wei will focus on the fight for Zuozangku. Cao Wenzhong was sent here today because he was probably trying to force the two men to attack Wang Yu and his party through severe torture, thus cutting off their way of placing people in charge of Zuozangku.

She didn't know who Zhang asked them to choose. But she knew that once Zhang Rang placed someone in Zuozangku. No matter how much you object, you will become complicit.

Maybe if she turned a blind eye that day, she would indeed be able to avoid getting into trouble. But if someone from Wang Yu's side discovers this and impeaches her, her career will come to an end.

What's more, she didn't want to see the inner treasury embezzling the wealth of Zuo Zangtang, causing the Ministry of Household Affairs to endlessly increase the amount of money. As a result, people are in dire straits.

While she was meditating, she had already walked to the political hall, looked at the huge bronze mirror at the door, and straightened her clothes. This bronze mirror was specially installed by Emperor Taizong Wen so that courtiers would be reminded of Duke Xuan Cheng's outspoken approach to admonishing future generations of kings every time they came to the political hall or passed by.

Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes and hats, using history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs, and using people as a mirror, you can know your gains and losses. But are you really willing to listen to advice now?

Wait until the official who went in to report comes back and invite her in. Pei Jiaoran collected his thoughts, took off his boots at the door and entered.

"Ms. Wang." Pei Jiaoran called warmly.

"Pei Shiyu is here. Are you out of the trial?" Wang Yu pointed to the lower seat with a smile and said: "Sit down first."

Sitting down as he was told, Pei Jiaoran still lowered his head and said, "The chief adjutant of the Zuo Zang Treasury admitted that the theft of the Zuo Zang Treasury was related to the two of them. The lower official has made statistics and found that a total of 2,500 coins were stolen from the treasury. According to the law of Wei, the chief officer came to the prison Self-stealing will be punished by hanging if the number reaches thirty."

"Yeah. But I heard that Zuo Shence's guard had been to the Yushitai when the two were being interrogated."

Surprised by Wang Yu's well-informed news, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and said, "Cao Hujun is here under His Majesty's order. There is nothing out of bounds in assisting Yushitai in interrogating the two."

"You and Chen Shiyu have worked hard on this matter, and we will deal with it after the political affairs hall reviews it."

"Here." After saying this, Pei Jiaoran raised his hand and said, "If Mr. Wang has no other important instructions, I will take my leave first."

Left the political hall. Pei Jiaoran stood under the verandah for a while before returning to the Yushitai.

After delivering the matters at hand, Pei Jiaoran left Anshangmen and headed to Pingkangfang.

She made an appointment with someone there.

The Huayue Tower in the square is a wine shop, but it also has dance and music performances.

When she arrived, the building was already quite busy. He walked through the crowd with his head lowered and went straight to the room on the second floor. Standing at the door of the room, you can already hear the music coming from it.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Jiaoran pushed the door open and entered. With a smile on his face, he looked at the person in the middle hugging him from left to right.

"Lieutenant Liu."

Hearing her voice, Lieutenant Liu raised his head and said, "Oh. Pei Shiyu is here, come and sit down."

Knowing that Lieutenant Liu was a straightforward person, Pei Jiaoran smiled, gathered his clothes and sat down, pouring a glass of wine.

"Thank you for your help, Lieutenant Liu, about what happened last time. Without your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to successfully complete the mission." Pei Jiaoran said softly.

"Hehe, it's easy." Glancing at himself, who was leaning against the red and green trees, Lieutenant Liu teased, "How about I find some male actors for you? I'll spare you the loneliness."

Pei Jiaoran was choked by what he said. He thought for a long time and said: "This is not a good thing for a lower official. I invite you here today just to thank the lieutenant."

"Then let's have a drink." Lieutenant Liu was not as arrogant as other eunuchs, but rather straightforward, "The prices in Huayue Tower are not cheap. Can you, a little servant, afford it? Otherwise, I’ll treat you to this meal.”

"Xiaguan's family still has some savings, Lieutenant, don't worry." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

"Let's continue drinking. You go and play music nearby."

Lieutenant Liu waved his hand and sent the musicians and dancers to stay aside.

Accompanied by the sound of music and the fragrance, the two exchanged cups. You had one cup and I had one cup, and I drank no less than ten jars.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Geng Lu in the corner of the room and the female actors who seemed to be exhausted. Pei Jiaoran slightly curled his lips.

After taking the last sip of wine from the cup, Pei Jiaoran looked at Lieutenant Liu with drunken eyes and said, "There is no owner of the Zuo Zangku now. I hope that those who come after me will not think like these two people, guarding and stealing. Alas..." As she said this, she went to pour the wine again. There was only an empty altar, and he sighed: "Otherwise, the imperial court will have no money to use for external conquests."

"No money?" Lieutenant Liu burped and stood up holding on to the table, "How come there is no money? Where did the money go? Has it been taken away again?"

Listening to Lieutenant Liu's angry words, Pei Jiaoran pursed his lips and shook his head, "I don't know, I'm not from the Third Division. Maybe I'm just worrying too much."

"You really are. Why don't those purple-robed old monsters arrange you into the Third Division? It would save you a lot of trouble if you go in." Lieutenant Liu looked at her and finally said irritably, "I ask you if there is a war , How much military expenditure does the imperial court have?"

"Ah...this" Pei Jiaoran pretended to be surprised and rubbed his swollen head, "it should be no problem if it lasts for a year and a half."

Her answer was vague, and Lieutenant Liu frowned. He looked at her and sighed: "Sure enough, I can't expect you, a stupid young man, to come up with any good ideas. But Zuo Zangku..." He paused and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. You can't drink enough." Don’t drink so much this time.”

"Thank you, Lieutenant." Pei Jiaoran bowed.

After Lieutenant Liu left, Pei Jiaoran sent all the female actors to retreat and walked to the window.

The autumn moon is like frost, and the night wind is cold and cool. Under the dim light, she could see Lieutenant Liu's back walking farther and farther, and finally turned into the alley and merged with the night.

When she raised her eyes, her expression was clear and she didn't look drunk at all.

The eunuchs are not as harmonious as they appear on the outside, and the left and right Shence Army is the most obvious one. Although they have always cooperated with each other externally, they have restricted each other internally.

From what happened last time, she could see that the Right Shence Army led by Lieutenant Liu was not convinced by the Left Shence Army led by Lieutenant Tian. And Zhang Rang was mostly biased towards the Zuo Shence Army.

If you want to take food from the eunuch's mouth, you don't have to confront him directly. Differentiate internal conflicts from the perspective of interests from the inside, so that one party can benefit.

Lieutenant Liu seems to be extremely concerned about military expenditures, so he must be very happy to let Zuo Shence's people suffer and allocate military expenditures to him.

After thinking about it, Pei Jiaoran smiled. Such is the case in the field of power. When both parties have common interests, enemies can also become friends.
