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

The gate of the square was closed, and Pei Jiaoran did not have the support of eunuchs like Lieutenant Liu. After paying for the meal, he simply slept in the Huayue Building. Leave until the drums of Tai Chi Palace sound and walk towards Chongyifang.

Pei Jiaoran was eating Yanyue wontons at the food stall, when a team of Jinwu Guards galloped past, causing dust to fly in an instant.

Seeing this, she frowned and put her hand on the bowl, turned her head and looked towards the direction where the Jinwu Guards were leaving with dark eyes.

"I heard that this morning over at Yankangfang, a body was found in the drainage ditch when the place was opening its doors early in the morning." said the vendor at the food stall.

"Yes, I heard about it too. It is said that there is a lot of blood on the edge of the ditch." The man sitting with him looked around and lowered his voice: "It is said that he is still an official."

After saying that, Pei Jiaoran put down his chopsticks to pay and walked towards Chongkangfang.

Chongkangfang has been surrounded by water, and only the back of Jin Wuwei can be vaguely seen. At this moment, Jing Zhaoling came in a hurry with Wannian County Magistrate and a group of government officials.

A group of yamen pushed aside the crowded crowd and used their bodies as a barrier to make way, and Pei Jiaoran also took the opportunity to squeeze in. Standing in the crowd, he looked towards the place surrounded by Jinwu Guards.

The leader was none other than Lu Zheng, the seventeenth son of the Lu family. Pei Jiaoran turned his eyes to the ground. A light green robe came into view, and there was a scar on his thumb.

It's Chen Shiyu.

The leader, Lu Zheng, heard the movement behind him, turned around and bowed his hands, "Cui Fu Yin, County Magistrate Han."

"General Lu." The two of them cupped their hands.

"I've checked my identity. It's Chen Zhiyan, the imperial censor in the palace." Lu Zheng said with regret on his face, "There is blood on the back of his head. It seems that he was injured by a heavy object."

"Who is so bold as to murder the censor?" Yizhao said angrily.

After the words fell, the surrounding officials were silent.

Who dares to kill the imperial censor?

it goes without saying. I'm afraid that Chen Shiyu discovered something that he shouldn't have discovered, and that he suffered this misfortune.

After looking around, Jing Zhaoyin and Magistrate Wannian looked at each other. Magistrate Wannian sighed, "Since General Lu's matter happened in Wannian County, it should be handled by this county. It's hard for General Lu and all the Jinwu Guards to make this trip."

As if he heard the meaning of Wannian County Magistrate's words, Lu Zheng frowned and looked at the crowd. Just in time to see Pei Jiaoran with a gentle look in the crowd.

While he was dazed, Wannian County Magistrate hurriedly called on his servants to carry the body away.

At this time, Pei Jiaoran also saw Chen Shiyu's body. The robe was dirty, there were blood stains everywhere on the body, and there were bruises on the face. Apparently he was beaten to death and thrown into the ditch in front of the square.

The Jinwu Guards wanted to stop the Wannian County officials, but since their own general didn't say anything, they couldn't make the decision without permission. And the officials were also very polite and offered their strength to the Jinwu Guards. Carrying Chen Zhiyan's body away.

The onlookers still looked like they were watching the fun, standing there and refusing to leave. Although they didn't know what rank the imperial censor was, the death of an official was a huge blowout.

"Pei Shiyu." Lu Zheng called.

Pei Jiaoran sighed softly when she heard Lu Zheng calling her. He walked out of the crowd with a regretful expression, "Cui Fuyin, County Magistrate Han." After speaking, he looked at Lu Zheng and said, "General Lu."

Seeing Pei Jiaoran, Cui Fuyin, and County Magistrate Han all looked surprised.

"I happened to be passing by, and I saw this scene without even thinking about it." Pei Jiaoran glanced at the drainage ditch aside and sighed: "It's such a pity for Chen Shiyu."

Neither Cui nor Han answered. Only Lu Zheng looked at her worriedly and warned: "These thieves are so rampant. Pei Shiyu is alone, so be more careful."

"Thank you, General Lu." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

Cui and Han looked at each other and said goodbye. Only she, Lu Zheng and a group of Jinwu guards were left in place.

After glancing at the Jinwu Guards who were looking at each other with good intentions, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "I have to go to Chen Shiyu's house to visit. I'll take my leave first."

A white curtain has been hung at the door of Chen Shiyu's house, and two plain white lanterns are swaying in the wind. Crying sounds came from the house.

Stopping in front of the house, looking at the small mansion. A flash of anger flashed across Pei Jiaoran's eyes, which were eventually covered by frost and snow. She sighed and stepped across the threshold.

A servant came up to her and looked at her doubtfully, "Who is the girl?"

"Censor Pei Jiaoran." After saying this, Pei Jiaoran looked up and saw a girl sitting on the corridor looking straight at her.

The servant glanced at her and hurriedly went to inform his wife.

Pei Jiaoran walked up to the girl and leaned over to look at her.

The girl held a clay figure in her hand. Seeing Pei Jiaoran raise his head and look at her, "Sister, do you know where my Aye has gone? My mother-in-law cried very sadly, saying that Aye will never come back again."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran didn't answer, and his heart tightened.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the girl pulled the corner of her robe and sobbed softly.

Not long after, a lady in plain clothes came out and saluted Pei Jiaoran, "Pei Shiyu, my late husband has just passed away. I apologize for any lack of hospitality."

Although Mrs. Chen looked calm and composed, her red eyes were still very eye-catching.

"It's okay." After saying this, Pei Jiaoran looked ashamed, "I'm sorry about Chen Shiyu."

She was truly sorry. If she hadn't deliberately calculated it, Chen Shiyu would not have died in vain. But there is no room for soft emotions in official circles, so she has to think about herself.

Pei Jiaoran could not help but feel a sense of self-loathing in his heart, and his eyelashes furrowed.

"May I ask you, girl, when can I bring my late husband's body back? I want him to be laid to rest as soon as possible." Mrs. Chen said calmly.

Looking at the girl who was being led aside by the servant, Pei Jiaoran said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't worry. I will go to supervise Wannian County on this matter and ask him to apprehend the culprit as soon as possible."

"Can the murderer really be caught?" Mrs. Chen asked.

For a moment, Pei Jiaoran didn't know how to answer her.

Mrs. Chen closed her eyes and smiled bitterly. Chen Shiyu had informed her as early as when she entered the Yushitai. As a censor, you may die at the sword of others at any time. After all, everything the censor does is to offend others.

So she was particularly calm about Chen Shiyu's death. No matter how uncomfortable and complaining she felt in her heart, she couldn't show it. After all, if her husband dies, she will replace him as the pillar of support. She needs to work hard to support the family.

"I hope that Pei Shiyu will also take care of himself. My late husband said that you are different from those of them. So I sincerely ask you to let my late husband rest in peace as soon as possible."

Looking steadily at Mrs. Chen in front of him, Pei Jiaoran's face became increasingly ashamed, and his lips and teeth were silent. It's not acting, but she is really ashamed.

Chen Shiyu treated her with sincerity, but she was ruthless and calculating.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran felt more and more that the small courtyard under his feet felt very boring and cramped.

She said to Mrs. Chen: "Madam, don't worry, Pei will personally supervise Wannian County Magistrate and urge them to try the case as soon as possible to give Chen Shiyu justice. Let Chen Shiyu be buried as soon as possible." After saying that, she glanced at her face. The confused girl said, "Madam, please take good care of yourself. Pei takes his leave."
