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

"Oh, maybe it's not that simple? I heard from my wife that Mrs. Wei suffered a lot of torture before she died." The speaker sighed, "Ms. Wei has been treated like this even if she has great fame. It's obvious. These people don’t take the state capital seriously at all.”

A person next to him took over the conversation, "Who says it's not the case? I just hope that the state government can seek justice for Madam Wei. But I'm worried that the governor will retreat in the face of difficulties."

"I don't think so. Anyway, how many of these people are good?"

"That's all. Zhou Da, you and I are criticizing current affairs. It's better not to say anything." The man shook his head, turned and left.

At this time, the people had already followed the hearse, and all they said were dissatisfaction with the violent squire and sympathy for Lady Wei's tragic experience.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran saw Dang Chenghong standing in the crowd and smiled slightly. Teleport forward and continue moving forward.

Dang Chenghong sighed, feeling fear in his heart. Pei Jiaoran not only made them, the gentry, a sharp sword in her hands in a short period of time, but also used public opinion to coerce everyone and infinitely amplify the squire's evil deeds.

Under her leadership, the villagers in the same state shared the same hatred and hatred. The villagers would only see the squire killing Lady Wei sent by the state government to block the new order. This move not only improved her own credibility in power, but also pushed the decree to the top of the wave.

Of course, what frightened him even more was what would happen if this matter reached Chang'an. By the time Dang Chenghong came to his senses, the crowd was getting further and further away.

Lady Wei was buried in a place near mountains and rivers.

Seeing the coffin being buried bit by bit with soil, Pei Jiaoran walked over. He took the pre-written edict from his sleeve and threw it into the fire.

Tongues of fire licked the writing. The handwriting on the memorial was messy and blurry, and even blurred in many places.

The funeral ceremony ended with the sad sound of the piano. Pei Jiaoran looked up and looked around at the scene where everyone was dressed like snow, and took a deep breath.

"Let's go. It's time for us to go back." Pei Jiaoran said silently.

On the second day after the funeral ceremony, a letter was written jointly by scholars, students and ordinary people in the same state. County Magistrate Feng Xu handed it to Pei Jiaoran.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Pei Jiaoran raised his head. He glanced at Magistrate Feng Xu with a half-smile.

"I heard that the main culprit this time is another scholar who is also famous?" Pei Jiaoran asked in a soft tone.

"Indeed. I have already taken them all. I only need a word from you, the governor, to convict them." Magistrate Feng Xu looked at her and said, "I don't know when the governor will interrogate them. I don't know when you plan to interrogate them." It’s better to prepare early.”

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Convicted? Magistrate Yang, doesn't he know that this matter is not just about humiliating Madam Wei. This matter is clearly caused by the squire being dissatisfied with the imperial decree and attacking Madam Wei. Someone will report the matter truthfully. Chang'an, it's up to Your Majesty how to judge."

Pei Jiaoran glanced at Magistrate Feng Xu meaningfully. Call the servants to send the letter and official documents to the post and present them to Da Tianting.

The letter was successfully delivered to Chang'an.

Looking at the memorial in his hand, Zhang Rang frowned. This letter was intercepted by him this morning when Emperor Wei went to Dajiao to watch. I originally thought that Pei Jiaoran would retreat in spite of the difficulties, but I didn't expect that she would actually develop this matter into public opinion.

At the same time, she gained the upper hand in public opinion and pushed the squire to the peak of anger. Once this letter is presented to the emperor, he will face the emperor's censure. Maybe Wang Yu would take the opportunity to attack him, and those in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who coveted his position would take the opportunity to get involved. At that time, he will become a fish on the chopping board.

I have to say that these literati are really clever at playing tricks. Know clearly what the world hates and sympathizes with. And can turn them into weapons and become the most powerful sword in public opinion.

If he didn't stop this memorial at this time, he was afraid that all public opinion would pounce on him. Even if Emperor Wei does not pursue the case now, it may become a reason to liquidate himself in the future.

But if he stopped this memorial, he didn't believe that Pei Jiaoran would not have any backup plans. Now she has taken herself out of Chang'an and arranged it as she pleases. At this moment, he could no longer let her stir up the situation in the dark.

Thinking about this, Zhang Rang flicked his dust tail irritably.

Just when he was about to go find Jia Gonglu, the servant of Yidong Palace stopped him. He said that His Majesty is in the East Palace now and asked him to come over immediately.

Zhang Rang hurried to the East Palace.

In the East Palace, the Tian family's father and son were playing chess near the window. The Crown Princess Wei Ruo was sitting aside, watching the father and son kill each other with relish.

None of the three seemed to hear Zhang Rang's salute, and even the waiter in the East Palace didn't say a word to remind him.

The father and son had finished the chess game, and the waiter came to refill the tea.

"Aye, I heard something recently." Wei Ruo glanced at Emperor Wei and said warmly, "I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

Hearing this, Emperor Wei smiled and said, "We are all one family, why bother hesitating."

"I heard that Feng Xu died of a lady, and it seems that she died because of assisting the imperial court to implement the New Deal." After saying that, Wei Ruo looked around and said in surprise: "Why is Zhang Jujuan here, and no one knows about it." It seems that what happened to Feng Xu has something to do with Zhang Jujuan."

After listening to Wei Ruo's words, Zhang Rang quickly raised his head and looked at Emperor Wei. Seeing Emperor Wei's eyes darken, he hurriedly said: "What does this mean, Princess? I have inherited the grace of the Holy Spirit and granted the title of Prince of Fengxu County. Although the fiefdom is in Fengxu, I have never interfered in anything."

Facing Zhang Rang's words of exculpation, Wei Ruo's eyes flashed with contempt, "I didn't say it was Zhang Jujuan who instigated it. I just heard that the squire who committed the crime happened to be somewhat related to Zhang Jujuan. I am worried that this will harm Ah. The wisdom of Jesus and the credibility of the court.”

He was clearly stumbling upon himself, but he still had to act like he was thinking about himself. When these words came out of Wei Ruo's mouth, it was hard not to doubt that they were the instructions of Pei Jiaoran. She used Li Sao to build momentum in Tongzhou and put Lady Wei in a high position. He always praises Madam Wei for her noble character. It's really hard to admire her methods and adaptability.

"Princess, you are not in the same state, how do you know the details? For the court right now, the most important thing is the war in Heshuo. The military expenses for this expedition are a big expense." Zhang Rang was so angry. His internal organs ached, but his face remained modest.

Zhang Rang dug out his eyes and Wei Ruo sighed coldly. She also knew why Zhang Rang had won His Majesty's trust over the years. His ability to adapt was beyond the reach of others. She had no intention of doing anything to Zhang Rang this time, as long as her purpose of letting Emperor Wei know about the matter was achieved. The rest depends on your Majesty's choice.

This was also Pei Jiaoran's purpose of secretly finding her.

He sighed: "I really shouldn't mention this matter. But since the matter is so big, the governor of Tongzhou must have written a memorial. Has Zhang Jujun received any official documents from Tongzhou?"

At this point, Zhang Rang couldn't hide the fact that he knew about the memorial and the letter. He had no choice but to take the letter and memorial from his sleeve and give it to the chamberlain of the East Palace to present to Emperor Wei.

Emperor Wei took the memorial and letter without opening it. Instead, he said to the prince: "Such a big thing has happened. We can't understand it just by relying on an official document. Let Yushitai send someone to Tongzhou. The case should be treated as it should be, and we must not tolerate it."

"My son understands," the prince replied.

"I'm tired. Zhang Rang, please help me go back." Emperor Wei turned to look at the prince, "The war is tense over there in Heshuo, so you should pay more attention to it."

Under the gaze of Emperor Wei, the prince nodded quickly.
