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

"Go to bed first. I will accompany you to Wannian County tomorrow morning." As he said this, Li Xiujing pulled her into his arms.

After all, he was very tired, so Pei Jiaoran didn't refuse. He leaned on Li Xiujing's arm and closed his eyes to sleep. She had a dream in which she re-entered her previous life. She saw a man writing furiously in front of the case, and sighed once or twice from time to time.

In the dream, the fog lifted, and the man took the book into the Tai Chi Hall and presented it to the emperor. The hall was full of jeers, but the man repeated his point of view with a solemn expression. He said that Pei Pushe was not guilty and that everything was deliberately framed by someone. He asked your Majesty to find out the truth and give him justice. It's a pity that the man was dragged down by Jin Wuwei and locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. In the end, he was poisoned to death.

In the dream, she watched everything with cold eyes, shaking her head at the man from time to time, with a hint of regret in her eyes. She stared at her in the dream and identified the person's identity from his mouth movements.

It's Li Xiujing.

She wanted to walk over to find out, but was dazzled by the sudden white light.

Pei Jiaoran suddenly woke up from his dream. Hearing the noisy voices coming from around him, he tried to drive away the fatigue that was pressing down on him, but after struggling for a long time, he only woke up his eyes, ears, nose and tongue.

"Are you awake?" Li Xiujing's voice came from a distance.

Looking over at the sound, I saw Li Xiujing fetching water to wash her face at the well. He was wearing a half-armor and a close-fitting undershirt, with his sleeves rolled up high, and the crotchless robe he was wearing was resting behind her head. Looking down, you can vaguely see the shadow of Jin Ling's crotch slave.

After looking at Yan Ling and frowning for a while, Pei Jiaoran got up quickly and rubbed his sore back. She glanced at Li Xiujing suspiciously. If he hadn't pressed her down on the table yesterday, she would have suffered from back pain.

What's worse is that the upper part of her neck to the collarbone is extremely itchy. She frowns and scratches it, hoping to relieve the itching. But it had the opposite effect, and the skin quickly felt a burning tingling sensation. It seemed that she was dissatisfied with her behavior.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Jiaoran turned around and went into the house, took out his deep scarlet robe and put it on. Tightly covering up those dazzling marks on the neck. Staring at Li Xiujing walking towards her, she closed her eyes. She remembered Li Xiujing in her dream and spoke uprightly to defend her. Eventually came to a tragic end. She pursed her lips at the thought.

"When are we going to Wannian County?" Li Xiujing handed her a handkerchief.

Concentrate your thoughts. After washing his face with a towel, Pei Jiaoran glanced at the sky and said, "Now. But I have to go to the palace first and ask for leave with the husband-in-law of the Political Affairs Hall."

Under the misty sky, Pei Jiaoran handed over the fish charm. After entering the palace smoothly, we went straight to the political hall.

The person on duty at the Zhengshi Hall was Jia Gonglu.

He was quite surprised to see her.

"Why is Mr. Pei here at this time?" Jia Gonglu glanced at Pei Jiaoran, his eyes puzzled.

"A thief broke into the residence late last night, and the body is still lying in the house. I have to go to Wannian County to report to the official." Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly, "That's why I went to the palace to ask for leave."

Seeing the cotton cloth wrapped around Pei Jiaoran's hand, Jia Gonglu frowned.

He sent someone to assassinate Pei Jiaoran last night. He knew that she was good at martial arts, and he didn't want to do anything to her. Just to give her a warning. But she didn't expect that she would actually bring this matter to Wannian County.

"In that case, let's go ahead, Mr. Pei." Jia Gonglu frowned and said, "Assassinating an important official of the imperial court is not a trivial matter. We must urge Wannian County to pay more attention."

"I understand."

After leaving the political hall, Pei Jiaoran did not establish a palace. Instead, he went to the public house of the Ministry of Revenue and greeted the officials on duty. Ask him to inform the household officials that she will take a day off today.

Then he left the palace and went to meet Li Xiujing. The two had their morning meal before dawn and beat the Dengwen drum at the gate of the county government office.

The county official opened the door with an impatient look on his face and was about to scold the two of them when he caught a glimpse of deep blush from the corner of his eye. He instantly suppressed the complaints in his heart and bowed his hands.

"I wonder what Shangguan's orders are when he comes here?" The county official bowed and led the two people in, and hurriedly asked the servants who should serve tea to serve tea, and those who should inform the Ming government to inform the Ming government.

Looking at the tea brought by the servant, Pei Jiaoran frowned and said, "Report to the official."

Hearing this, the county official was startled and squinted at Li Xiujing. One of these two people is deeply scarlet and the other is wearing a purple robe. Who is so bold and dares to touch them?

While he was thinking, Magistrate Wannian had already hurried over.

"Magistrate Wei." Pei Jiaoran called warmly.

County Magistrate Wei glanced at the two of them and saluted quickly, "Shilang Pei, General Li, you two are..."

"Pei returned home last night and found thieves fighting with each other at home. The bodies of several people are still lying in the house." Pei Jiaoran sighed and said softly, "I know that County Magistrate Wei worked hard to investigate the case, so I dare not mess around. Move. I hope County Magistrate Wei can send someone to the house to investigate as soon as possible."

After hearing her words, County Magistrate Wei did not dare to delay. He quickly sent the county lieutenant and the official to go to Pei's house in Chongyifang to find out what was going on, while he stayed in the county house to accompany the two of them.

Pei Jiaoran answered all the questions raised by County Magistrate Wei.

When County Magistrate Wei mentioned the possibility of enemies seeking revenge, Pei Jiaoran sighed, "Is the enemy seeking revenge? But Pei has not offended anyone recently, but he had a conflict with Lieutenant Tian yesterday. Could it be... ..." Glancing at County Magistrate Wei, she hesitated to speak.

"This..." County Magistrate Wei's hand holding the tea trembled, as if he didn't know how to answer the question.

One is a second-rank lieutenant of the Shence Army, and the other is a fourth-rank minister of household affairs. No one can be easily offended by him, but if it is not resolved, will the newly appointed Minister Pei give up? If it is solved, can Zhang Guixun let him go?

Glancing at Magistrate Wei who looked troubled, Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and drank tea.

"The corpses of the Ming Dynasty have been brought back." The county lieutenant entered and bowed to several people.

"We brought the body back just as we brought it back. What do you mean by yelling and screaming?" County Magistrate Wei looked at the county captain with a dissatisfied look on his face, then turned to Pei and Li, "This matter still needs to be investigated. You two Can the superior officer grant me some grace, I will give you an explanation."

"No need." Pei Jiaoran stood up with a solemn look on his face.

Obviously he did not expect Pei Jiaoran to reject his proposal, and County Magistrate Wei looked confused.

"Since Lieutenant Shence may be involved, how can Magistrate Wei intervene?" Pei Jiaoran looked at Magistrate Wei with gratitude and held his hand, "It's better not to cause any trouble to Magistrate Wei."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Wei quickly waved his hand, "Shilang Pei's words are serious! This is the official's responsibility. How can you not investigate because of fear of trouble? Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate this matter immediately."

After receiving Magistrate Wei's assurance, Pei Jiaoran curled his lips. On the pretext that there was something else going on at the household department, he pulled Li Xiujing away.

The two of them walked out of Wannian County. Pei Jiaoran turned to look at the body lying on the ground, his eyes full of ridicule.

"Jia Gonglu shouldn't have thought of your move." Li Xiujing said with a smile.

"Of course. He only knew that I wanted to report to the official, but he didn't expect that I would use this trick on Lieutenant Tian." Pei Jiaoran glanced at the back of his bandaged hand, "I hope Your Majesty will have mercy on me and give me justice."
