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

Pei Jiaoran stood up and walked slowly to the window, with a clear coldness in his eyes.

Although those people could not escape death in the end, just using law to deal with them was far from achieving the effect she wanted. What's more, for the people behind them, dying under the law is not only painless, but even irrelevant. In this case, public opinion is the best murder weapon.

Her words just now have already made the aristocratic families headed by Tongzhou become angry with her, ensuring that they can work together to safeguard their common interests. After all, the new policy had just been implemented when the state soldiers could not be completely trusted. She must rely on the power of these gentry to consolidate the authority of the state capital.

Thinking of the character Zhou Mancao wrote on the case. Pei Jiaoran smiled contemptuously.

It was Zhang Rang who started this unnecessary war. While he was laying out his plan, he fell into a corner.

How to write the character 姧? Two female characters plus one stem character. When this word is broken down and read, it means ? and Qian. ?The one is delicate, the delicate one is beautiful. And in the history books, it is also the character "姧" that stirs up people's emotions the most. Women sympathize with and are indignant because they may suffer a similar fate, while most men are motivated by possessiveness, that is, they hope that the woman will die for her innocence, and they also hope that the reputation of the participants will be damaged.

Therefore, they often become the support of public opinion, making the perpetrators trapped in it and unable to escape.

However, public opinion must be used well to be effective. Wearing blood clothes, she escorted Lady Wei's body back to the state capital, and sang Zuo Si's "Ode to History" in order to push public opinion to the top. This matter continues to ferment, and from then on, the disgust for such powerful people will occupy the entire Tongzhou, the weak will unite with the weak, and the strong and violent ones will be expelled.

The pens of Tongzhou's literati and the words of the people will turn into the sharpest arrows and shoot into the body of the perpetrator. As she is in charge of a state, she may be able to use this to further deepen the decree.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Jiaoran moved out of the door. Go to the front yard.

When Pei Jiaoran entered, there was a faint sound of crying in the front yard. Several ladies looked up at her with complicated expressions. It seemed that he didn't know what to say, and finally it turned into a sigh.

Taking the three sticks of fragrance from Zhou Mancao, Pei Jiaoran bowed three times in front of Lady Wei's spirit with a gentle expression. A thin coffin, a green gauze dress, and many white chrysanthemums gathered in the coffin. Lady Wei was lying there with a calm face, as if she was asleep.

After thinking for a while, Pei Jiaoran invited a few people to sit aside. He roughly recounted to them how Madam Wei was killed. She also did not hide the people involved in the case and the mastermind behind it. After all, they are all friends who have worked together and should know the truth.

"I would like to invite you to act in a play." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

Pang Xiyin looked puzzled, "Since we already have the evidence, why don't we deal with them directly? We can also comfort Sister Wei's spirit in heaven."

After pouring tea for several people, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Are we just trying to comfort Madam Wei's soul in heaven? I have already pushed out the public opinion, and what Madam Wei has done is obvious to all. At present, public opinion is in our favor, so naturally we Gotta make good use of it. Don’t you think so?”

Public opinion and empathy are inseparable, so once public opinion is launched, it is no longer rational. Compared with politics, which uses laws and violence to determine victory or defeat, public opinion can trigger a variety of effects.

"Wang Lang once said in the biography of "Three Kingdoms", 'If you are not arrogant and ruthless, you will not have ambitions. Those who are afraid of the lack of public opinion will cherish Yiyi.' This public opinion can not only restrain everyone, but also encourage everyone. The people They are based in the world, and most of them are ordinary people who have no access to the decisions of upper-level government orders. But they want to speak out to convey their demands upwards." Pei Jiaoran paused and continued: "So when they can access something Matters that concern their interests will naturally speak out enthusiastically. Now that Tongzhou is the place where the imperial court's new order is implemented, people sent by the state government have died at the hands of the squires. The people will wonder whether it is the new order that hinders the squires from making money. , died as a result.”

"In addition, I sympathized with Lady Wei's experience, and public opinion arose because of this."

Zhang Rang? Pei Jiaoran raised the corners of his lips coldly. He thought he was interested in his powerful position and would not take action rashly. But he forgot one thing, there is the sun and the moon in nature, yin and yang in the Tao, and the weak often hate the perpetrators. Public opinion is a battlefield that naturally belongs to women.

"Let's go." Zhao Mingluan stood up first and bowed to Pei Jiaoran Yingying, "We must make those people feel the same this time."

Under the leadership of Zhao Mingluan, all the ladies put on beaded hairpin skirts. The music was composed by Zhou Mancao and Bi Fei, with lyrics by Li Sao. A story was rehearsed in which a female official was loyal and courageous, worked for the benefit of the people, and was loyal to the emperor and patriotic. She died at the hands of a traitor to protect the emperor, and her blood was left on the imperial uniform forever.

Three days after the funeral was held in the state capital, everyone wore plain clothes to see Madam Wei off for the funeral.

The gate of the state capital opened, and the state soldiers came out first. Pei Jiaoran followed, and saw the streets bustling with people, with people standing on both sides, looking up.

Two carriages have been parked at the door. The carriages are very wide. But there is no car screen, only white gauze. The white gauze dances gently under the summer sun.

Zhao Mingluan and Pang Xiyin helped Ling get into the second carriage, while Zhou Mancao, Wu Lingjia, and Bi Fei got into the first carriage. The white gauze hangs down, and the figures of the women inside the gauze are vague.

As Pei Jiaoran said "wake up" and fell down, the carriage slowly set off. Immediately, the sound of a piano sounded.

There were crowds of people behind the white gauze curtain, and someone was singing "Li Sao".

The voice is sad and mournful, like cicadas chirping on the branches, soft but sad. The sound of the piano is like the chirping of cranes, which makes me cry when I hear it. There seems to be a summer breeze moving in the tent, and you can see clear shadows in the tent, crying or moaning sadly. The sound of the piano and the singing all poured into my ears, as if there were thousands of pieces of frost and thousands of layers of snow.

Followed by the state soldiers, surrounded by them, the team marched slowly, and the people stopped and wept. Students from Fengxu Academy, dressed in plain clothes, sang "Li Sao" together to pay homage to the deceased.

"I am living in a gloomy town, and I am now alone and destitute. I would rather die in exile, but I cannot bear to be like this. The fact that birds of prey do not flock together has been established since the previous life. How can the circle be able to circulate around? Who can be at peace with each other in different ways? Bending one's heart but suppressing one's will, being patient and resisting criticism. Fu Qingbai is upright in his death, consolidating the wealth of the sages before him."

Li Sao's song is originally related to the fact that loyal ministers were framed by slanderous ministers. After the students sang it, it became more obvious that Lady Wei died of persecution.

There was a lot of discussion around him.

"I heard that Madam Wei was killed by a traitor because she was trying to uphold the imperial court's new order."

"The imperial court's new law is good for us. Those people must have felt that the imperial court had harmed their interests. That's why they attacked Madam Wei to demonstrate to the imperial court."
