Looking at Pei Jiaoran, Wu Lingjia hesitated to speak. She had no way of knowing what Pei Jiaoran was thinking, so she had no choice but to do it.

Not long after, Pei Jiaoran changed into a purple robe and came out, the quilt around his waist shining brightly in the sun. And her own eyes were still covered with frost and snow, ruthless and meaningless.

"Jiajia, we..." Wu Lingjia called.

Tying a gold and silver fish bag around his waist, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and said, "The hostility and rebelliousness they displayed are all signs of contempt for the state capital and even the central government. In this case, why give them face?"

"You don't have to follow me. Lingjia, you prepare a memorial for me and send it to Chang'an. In addition, you will notify the state soldiers to guard the official roads of Tongzhou and isolate the entry and exit of all suspicious people."

Seeing that Pei Jiaoran had made up his mind and looked completely calm again. Wu Lingjia felt relieved and turned back to draft the memorial.

At this time, Pei Jiaoran walked out of the gate of the state capital, and ten state soldiers were already waiting at the door. Seeing her coming out, they saluted in unison and called the governor.

Stroking the horse's mane, Pei Jiaoran made a cold sound. Then he got on his horse. Violence is also a political force, but the environment she lives in does not allow her to use violence without authorization. But any kind of violence will be governed by the law.

What hangs at the two ends of the political balance is violence and law. The two restrain each other and create a political balance.

However, on the side of the law, there is also public opinion.

Feng Xu is a county under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou, and the two are not far apart. In just one stick of incense, Pei Jiaoran led the state soldiers to Fengxu County.

Lady Wei's body was placed in the county main hall and covered with plain cloth.

As soon as he saw Pei Jiaoran coming, Magistrate Feng Xu immediately came to greet him. She looked ashamed, but she didn't even look at him and walked straight into the county house.

Stopping in front of Madam Wei's body, Pei Jiaoran gathered his clothes and knelt down. Her eyes gently opened some of the plain cloth, and even if it was just a corner, she could feel the inhuman torture that Madam Wei had suffered during her lifetime.

"Provincial Governor, this is an official's fault." Magistrate Feng Xu said with an annoyed look on his face.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran just gave him a cold look and said in an indifferent tone: "Xu Ming Mansion, you go find two servant girls. One of them wants to wash away the beauty for Madam Wei."

"Well, I'm going to go right now."

As soon as Magistrate Feng Xu left, Pei Jiaoran asked the state soldiers to carry the body into the public room on one side, and put up curtains around it.

Not long after, Magistrate Feng Xu brought two servant girls back. After getting permission, the two were able to enter.

"I've prepared the water. Please don't disturb my sister," Pei Jiaoran said warmly.

The plain cloth used to cover the body had been lifted up by Pei Jiaoran and set aside. What appeared before his eyes was a tortured, inhuman body. The torn clothes could no longer cover up the body that had been abused. The gnawing marks on the delicate parts were also signs of being overridden by power.

The two servant girls seemed to have seen such a thing for the first time, and they sighed in unison, "How pitiful God is. I remember that this lady was chosen by Governor Pei to investigate whether we were doing well. How could we be treated like this?" ? Who could kill a thousand people dare to do such a thing?"

"It was obvious that those men took advantage of her and attacked Mrs. Wei. Governor Pei, will you seek justice for her?"

The two of them had learned through Magistrate Feng Xu that it was Governor Pei who came to take Lady Wei back in person.

When asked, Pei Jiaoran licked his lips and said, "Of course."

Half an hour later, with the help of two maids. Pei Jiaoran changed clothes for Madam Wei. She lowered her eyes and reached out to caress Madam Wei's eyebrows.

"Rest in peace. I will not let your sacrifice be in vain."

After speaking, Pei Jiaoran called two sergeants in and carried Madam Wei's body into the prepared carriage.

"Prince Pei, your clothes are stained with blood. Do you want to change clothes?" asked the maid who followed her out.

Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and glanced at the blood stains on his clothes. He shook his head, "No need."

Pei Jiaoran personally drove the car to escort Lady Wei's body out of Fengxu County. The summer wind fluttered her sleeves, and the blood-red mass on her lapel was even more dazzling under the late summer sun.

The people on the street stopped to bow and bid farewell to Lady Wei spontaneously.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran looked up at the second floor of the wine shop where music could still be heard. After clearing her throat, a song "Ode to History" flowed out of her throat.

"The pines at the bottom of the gloomy stream, the seedlings on the Lili Mountain. The stems with an inch diameter, shade this hundred-foot strip. The world's elite is in a high position, handsome and humble. The terrain makes this happen, and the origin is not one dynasty. Jin Zhangji's old business, seven leaves Er Han Diao. Isn’t Feng Gong great? He has a white head and no move.” Note 1

Although she has an official accent, her tone is quite plaintive. Wherever the carriage passed, sobbing gradually began to sound. Finally, the carriage drove away from Fengxu County with sobs.

As soon as the carriage returned to Tongzhou County, several ladies came to greet it. Spontaneously he lifted Mrs. Wei's body down and gently carried it into the state capital.

"Jiajia, is this blood on your body?" Wu Lingjia's eyes fell on Pei Jiaoran.

Touching the blood on his clothes, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows, "This servant Ji is bleeding, don't go away." Note 2

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Lingjia pursed his lips. When she came to her senses, Pei Jiaoran had already entered the state capital.

Several ladies had already prepared to conduct funeral rites for Madam Wei as soon as she returned.

"Jiajia, what do you want to do? Now everyone hopes that you can seek justice for Madam Wei. But can you really do that?" Wu Lingjia pulled Pei Jiaoran aside, "How about we send someone to do it?" The squire who caused trouble was arrested?"

"Of course we have to catch him, but we still need a reasonable opportunity." Pei Jiaoran looked around and whispered: "You can go quietly, Dang Chenghong and the others will call. The party family must explain this matter to the state capital. "

Back then, the Party family was the one connecting the state capital and the squire. Now, something happened to the people in the state capital in the countryside. They have to make a statement no matter what.

In the evening, Dang Chenghong hurried to the door with gifts. After some pleasantries, he explained to Pei Jiaoran what happened. The person who committed the crime was arrested by Magistrate Feng Xu not long ago and is currently being held in the county jail. Magistrate Xu also interrogated the other people involved in the case, and they all confessed to what they had done.

"In the end, it was me who took care of this matter, which led to Madam Wei's innocent death. I am willing to raise the family for Madam Wei."

Dang Chenghong raised his head and glanced at Pei Jiaoran. He heard that as soon as she received the news, she took people to Fengxu County. But she didn't arrest those people, she just welcomed Madam Wei's body. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what she wanted to do. Just when he was anxious, someone suddenly came looking for him. He said that Pei Jiaoran wanted to see him and asked him to come immediately.

Pei Jiaoran glanced at Dang Chenghong and sighed. She knew that he should be unaware of this matter, but she was worried that her family would be implicated in this matter, so she hurriedly made such a statement.

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran sighed, "How can this matter be solved so easily? Madam Wei has a good reputation, and even if she fails, she can still serve as an adviser to the governor. But now that she died innocently, how can she support her parents? What can be done? It is clear that this matter is directed at the state capital. It is those people who are dissatisfied with the central government's decree. Mr. Party, think about it carefully. Are the confessions of those people must be true? What if they are receiving money from others? , Are you deliberately setting up the blame?"

Listening to her words, Dang Chenghong was stunned. At first, he only thought that those people were motivated by sex, but now that he thought about it, those people were clearly here for the new decree. They are now in the same boat as the state government. If this matter cannot be properly resolved, the party family and even the Quan family may be implicated.

This conspiracy is not just targeting the state capital.

"Thank you, Governor Pei, for the tip."

As soon as Dang Chenghong left, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and smacked coldly.
