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

When the sun fell on his body again, Pei Jiaoran's expression softened slightly. Suddenly he said sorry to Li Xiujing again. He walked quickly not far away and started vomiting while holding on to the wall.

Li Xiujing stood there and looked at Pei Jiaoran with a complicated expression.

After holding on to the wall and vomiting for a while, Pei Jiaoran reached for his sleeves. After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find what I wanted. Just as she was frowning and thinking, a hand with slender fingers appeared in front of her.

A square handkerchief was twisted on his hand.

"Thank you." Pei Jiaoran took the veil without turning his head. He wiped his lips with a handkerchief calmly. After finishing the matter, he looked at the dirty handkerchief in his hand and bowed to Li Xiujing, "Thank you very much. I'm afraid I won't be able to return this handkerchief to you again."

Li Xiujing bowed his head when he heard this, with a smile on his face, "Drinking alcohol can hurt your stomach, so it's better to drink less. What did you do to Wang Shizhao before, and he actually said that you tortured him to extract a confession?"

He ignored Li Xiujing's question. Pei Jiaoran raised his head and stared at him, his eyes full of caution. In an instant, her caution was lost in the autumn wind, and she raised her lips and smiled.

"If you don't have any means, how can you make him speak?" After saying this, Pei Jiaoran took a neatly folded letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xiujing, "This is the confession copied by the lower official. Please read it."

I had seen Pei Jiaoran's handwriting earlier, but this time I couldn't help but click my tongue. The calligraphy on the letterhead is not in Guange style, but more like Pei Jiaoran's own handwriting.

The writing is vigorous and powerful, but also free and easy. Songfengmeigu also seems to be of its own school, and does not fall under the popular calligraphy and ink that everyone in the world loves.

Under Pei Jiaoran's gaze, Li Xiujing carefully read the letter in his hand.

The superior listed all the crimes Wang Shizhao had committed over the years. The words are sincere and the words are sharp. The further back he went, the heavier his writing became, as if he was already angry and could not calm down.

By the last sentence, "If you exhaust all the bamboos in the Southern Mountains, you will not be able to end the sins of writing; if you conquer the waves of the East China Sea, you will not be able to end all the evils." By that time, the White Deer Paper was already in danger.

"Although the verdict has been signed, I'm worried that Wang Shizhao will bite you back." Li Xiujing folded the letter and handed it back, thinking in her eyes.

"He doesn't have the chance to bite back. Dugu Chen wants to be held accountable, but he won't see him. From the moment Wang Shizhao was captured by me, he was already an abandoned son." Pei Jiaoran's voice was as indifferent as ever, with a mocking look. He said eloquently, "I have thought about it carefully these days. Dugu Chen is here just to ask questions and regain his lost face. After all, it depends on whether the owner is good or not when beating a dog."

Dugu Chen cherishes feathers and his current status. Having held high positions since ancient times, few people are willing to personally take risks. And Dugu Chen has been operating in Hexi and even Anxi for so many years, and he is only one step away from climbing Feng Pavilion and entering the center. Naturally, he would not be put in danger because of an insignificant person.

The higher one goes, the more cautious one becomes.

After some analysis, Li Xiujing's eyes when looking at Pei Jiaoran became very complicated. The phoenix eyes were closed, hiding the flash of doubt.

"What else does the governor want to know? The subordinate must know everything and tell you everything." Pei Jiaoran said with a warm smile.

"No. You handled the Wang family case well and deserve a commendation." Looking at Pei Jiaoran who was smiling brightly in front of her, Li Xiujing also raised her lips and smiled, "What do you want?"

Jinchang is under the jurisdiction of Guazhou, and all taxes will be submitted to the state government after the county government office is cleared. The state government then sent people to escort him to Chang'an. Although he was surprised to hear that people were killed in the autumn tax, he never expressed his opinion. He was waiting for Pei Jiaoran to give him a satisfactory answer, and now he was very satisfied with this answer.

Pei Jiaoran frowned when he heard about it, as if he was seriously thinking about what she wanted.

What do you want?

Looking up at the vast sky, birds flew before her eyes.

Pei Jiaoran suddenly sighed. She wanted to return to Chang'an to avenge herself in her previous life, re-enter Feng Pavilion and ascend to a high position. But these are not things that can be said to Li Xiujing.

Touching his chin, Pei Jiaoran had a smile in his eyes, "Why don't you, the governor, give your subordinates some extra salary?"

She smiled and stretched out her hand towards Li Xiujing, palm up, as if asking for money.

Seeing that Li Xiujing didn't speak, Pei Jiaoran replied: "I solved the problem for you, you won't refuse to pay me, right?"

The deliberately elongated ending contained a hint of teasing.

Li Xiujing was forced to raise the corners of her mouth by Pei Jiaoran's greedy philistine look. But he still retorted unceremoniously, "Pei Mingfu, aren't you afraid that I will sue you for asking for bribes?"

"Asking for a bribe? Didn't you ask me what kind of reward I want? Besides, you and I have no direct interest relationship and it does not meet the six stolen goods rules. How can we be considered asking for a bribe?" After saying this, Pei Jiaoran stretched out his palms straighter and firmer.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran steadily, Li Xiujing took off the jade pendant from his body and stuffed it into her hand.

"A common thing like money is not worthy of the nobility of the Ming Dynasty. This ancient jade is good."

Holding up the jade pendant and looking at it carefully in the sun, Pei Jiaoran praised: "Not bad. Then I would like to thank the governor for his generous donation. It's just the salary behind, so the governor should remember to pay it."

She didn't mind letting Li Xiujing empty out her family fortune.

As if he didn't hear what Pei Jiao said next, Li Xiujing said in a deep voice: "The county government has many affairs, so I will not disturb the Ming government."

He personally delivered Li Xiujing to the door. It wasn't until he rode away that Pei Jiaoran looked away with amusement in his eyes.

Move back home.

Playing with the jade pendant given by Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran hummed a tune and returned to the courtyard. Until the moon reaches the zenith, I carry a lantern and go to the front yard.

The person on duty at the government office today is Chu You.

When Pei Jiaoran arrived, he was sorting out official documents.

Sensing that someone was looking at him, Chu You suddenly raised his head. A flash of moonlight crashed into his eyes without any warning.

"Mingfu." Chu You called.

nod. Placing the lamp at the door, Pei Jiaoran crossed the threshold with his hands behind his hands and walked towards Chu You step by step.

"Chu You, twenty-seven, from Qingzhou. He was defeated in Changle in the 16th year, and later turned to work under Li Xiujing as a clerk. He entered the Six Cao Cao of Jinchang County due to his meritorious service." Pei Jiaoran's voice was soft, like the spring breeze blowing on his face.

Chu You's face turned pale and he said helplessly: "It seems that you already know? This official is guilty..."

"What's your crime?" Pei Jiaoran interrupted him and smiled sternly, "He has a good relationship with you, and you should do this."

She had previously guessed that Chu You was Li Xiujing's person. After she returned just now, she checked her resume and the answer she got confirmed her guess.

There are many eyeliners around her, and she doesn't mind multiple eyeliners. It's just that if you don't beat it, you will inevitably feel unhappy.

Pei Jiaoran walked slowly to the bookshelf not far away and brushed his hand over it. Finally, it stopped at the lower left space. There were several old books from the previous dynasty placed there, and her slender white fingers carefully selected them. He took out a copy of Shangshu.

Open the book of ministers and flip through the pages. Pei Jiaoran suddenly raised his eyes and said, "There is a sentence in the Taijia Chapter of the Book of Shang in the Book of Shang, which talks about far and near, high and low. Ziqing, do you know what it is?"

There was a bit of Wu sound in her soft voice.

When drunk, Wu Yin is very charming. It's like walking by the lake in spring, with catkins blowing against your face. Although it is slow, it makes people feel itchy.

Staring at Huan Xuan under the lamp, Chu You felt dazed for a while. Pei Jiaoran called him by his name just now, and in such an intimate tone. He narrowed his eyes and thought about what Fu Qi meant.

"If it rises high, it must come down; if it rises high, it must come close." Chu You replied.

Putting "Shang Shu" back to its original place, Pei Jiaoran picked up the book again. This time she chose for a long time, but never picked up a book. Instead, he moved his eyes to look at Chu You.

"There is a cloud in Liezi, 'It is unlucky to see the fishermen in the deep, and there will be disaster for those who hide their wisdom.' Ziqing, the road has gone crooked, be careful of falling." Pei Jiaoran raised his lips, but those peach blossoms shrouded in mist There was no emotion in his eyes.

It wasn't until the warm yellow light gradually disappeared from sight that Chu You came back to his senses. Pei Jiaoran's words just now were clearly telling him.

She already knew that he informed Li Xiujing from time to time. She can let things go in the past, but she won't do it next time. If it happened again, she wouldn't mind killing him.

After his thoughts dispersed, Chu You shuddered.
