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

Went back to Hubu Gongsha and sat there for a while. Pei Jiaoran continued to calculate Yanli's account book, flipping through page after page and marking on it. The sound of bells and drums was heard, and the servants filed out towards the public kitchen, and Pei Jiaoran also got up and went out at this time.

We walked in a big circle along Chengtianmen Street. Pei Jiaoran stepped into the big shrine. It had rained in the big shrine and it was wet, and the ground under our feet was extremely muddy. Unless there is a festival, no one comes here on weekdays, let alone after it rains. There are mosquitoes everywhere looking for food.

There were footsteps behind him, and Pei Jiaoran turned around.

The person coming is Yuan Yanchong.

She and Yuan Yanchong made an appointment to meet here.

"You should know what I want to do, right?" Pei Jiaoran glanced at Yuan Yanchong and handed over the brochure in his sleeve pocket, "Can the Yushitai go get the person according to the order?"

Seeing Yuan Yanchong didn't speak, Pei Jiaoran sighed. She understands Yuan Yanchong's concerns, and she can understand them.

After thinking for a while, Pei Jiaoran changed his tone and asked, "What does Yuan Yushi think after reading the account books?"

"Are you going to use Yushitai as your executioner?"

Pei Jiaoran nodded.

After taking a deep look at Pei Jiaoran, Yuan Yanchong took the account book she handed him. There are many places outlined in ink on the account books, all of which are related to officials' corruption.

Once this account book is held by Yushitai, it is like holding a butcher's knife in his hand. Their party can get a lot of rewards and can even counter Pei Jiaoran.

"It's not good for you. What do you want to do?" Yuan Yanchong asked.

Looking at Yuan Yanchong, Pei Jiaoran asked, "The situation in Heshuo is not good. Yuan Yushi, if it were you, how would you deal with people who disagree with you?"

"Of course I'll find an opportunity to get rid of him. If you give me this account book, Mr. Wang may not accept you as his subordinate." Yuan Yanchong looked at the account book in his hand again, with a serious look on his face, "The person you are talking about, Could it be Li Xiujing? Ridiculous, how could Mr. Wang do this? The Shence Army is killing the enemy on the front line, and they are protecting their home and country."

"But the Shence Army is a force of internal eunuchs. Why did Tan Daoji refuse to save Mao Dezu? Why did Huan Wen's Northern Expeditions end in vain? Is it because they are not strong enough? No, it is because they have a different stance from some people. The stance is different. First, it determines the difference in political dividends." Pei Jiaoran said coldly.

Yuan Yan's eyes were filled with surprise, and his lips and teeth were trembling.

"What do you want me to do?" Yuan Yanchong asked.

"I have already mentioned this matter at the meeting of the Government Hall today. Officials from the Internal Affairs Bureau, Taichang Temple and Duzhi involved in the case should wait and see for a while. But now that the Ministry of Finance is in a mess, they will probably think The Yushitai will not investigate so quickly." Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath, "Everything will be done in accordance with the regulations of your Yushitai, and those who need to be taken will be taken. I will ask all the people in the household department to fully cooperate with you. What do you think of this deal? how?"

Looking at Pei Jiaoran, Yuan Yanchong frowned. Although he admitted that the benefits she offered were generous, there was fraud behind them. But if Shence is losing on the battlefield, maybe the outer court can master this power to check and balance the inner eunuchs.

Sensing the hesitation in Yuan Yanchong's eyes, Pei Jiaoran suddenly held Yuan Yanchong's hand and said, "I know Wang Yu is your lord, but don't think that the commander-in-chief of Hebei is a benevolent lord. The war has started this time and I want to calm it down. It won't be that easy. Li Xiujing still has a lot of passion and shouldn't be buried on the battlefield. And the Shence sergeants who follow him are just pawns in the hands of the superiors. They don't know what the center's calculations are. What they believe in is It is the mission of soldiers. They are fighting enemies for their country on the front line, but the cold knife of the center falls on them. What do you want them to think?"

They obeyed military orders and left their families behind to join the army when the country was in crisis. But they would not have thought that when they thought they were worthy of the people and the country, they would get the rewards they deserved after the war was quelled. There will be ruthless plots against them.

Under Pei Jiaoran's gaze, Yuan Yanchong sighed.

"Yuan Yanchong. Politics itself is a huge gamble with no right or wrong. But politicians have always been allowed to commit crimes and never make mistakes. Once you make a mistake, you lose. You are not the core of the Jingkou faction. You will be held accountable afterwards. No one will protect you." Pei Jiaoran's eyes were fixed on Yuan Yanchong's face, "I still have something to do with the household department, so I'll take my leave first."

She and Yuan Yan had different opinions on the matter. She didn't expect him to be direct, but she knew he was not stupid and had a fiery heart.

These can all be exploited.

Except for the door of the big shrine, Pei Jiaoran suddenly felt dizzy. Kankan held on to the wall, but still felt dizzy.

"Second mother?" A familiar voice came from her ears.

Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes and looked over, but he was really dizzy. Nothing was seen.

The other person's hand fell on the crook of her elbow.

It's cold armor.

Opposite the main shrine is the residence of Youjin Wuwei. The person next to him is probably Lu Zheng. After thinking for a while, Pei Jiaoran asked tentatively, "General Lu?"

"It's me. Can you still leave?" Lu Zheng supported her and asked cautiously.

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran shook his head and said, "I'm very dizzy. How about you help me go to the Jinwu Guard station to sit for a while? I'll take it easy, maybe it will be fine."

After hesitating for a while, Lu Zheng helped Pei Jiaoran into the Jinwu Guards' station.

Lu Zheng helped Pei Jiaoran into the house amid the appetizing laughter of the Jinwu Guards.

After pouring the tea and handing it to Pei Jiaoran, Lu Zheng said, "This is my public room. You can rest for a while. I'll find a doctor for you. You're probably infected with the cold."

"I'll be fine if I rest for a while. What's more, how can I explain to the imperial doctor when he sees me at the Jinwu Guard station?" Pei Jiaoran took a sip of tea, with a smile in his voice, "General Lu, could you please go to the Household Department for me and find me?" Wu Lingjia is here."

"Okay. Then take a good rest."

Lu Zheng went out and asked his subordinate sergeants to guard the door. Don't let anyone bother you. I quickly went to the Hubu Gongsha to look for someone.

When Lu Zheng came back, Pei Jiaoran was still sleeping peacefully. He went to the Hubu Department, but unfortunately he came up empty-handed. Wu Lingjia had returned home from court, so he had no choice but to return.

Pei Jiaoran slept peacefully on the bed.

Looking down at her, Lu Zheng took a deep breath. He was a little envious of Li Xiujing because she could speak out and protect him.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that the quilt on Pei Jiaoran had slipped a lot. Lu Zheng bent down to pick up the quilt on the ground and was about to cover it.

Pei Jiaoran, who was on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, his fingers clasped around his neck, his eyes filled with frost.

"Second mother, it's me." Lu Zheng struggled to squeeze out the two words through his teeth.

Seeing that it was Lu Zheng, Pei Jiaoran let go. Looking guilty, "Sorry, I'm not used to strangers around me."

"It's okay. Are you feeling better? I'll take you back." Lu Zheng said warmly.

When asked, Pei Jiaoran nodded and said, "No need. I'd better go back by myself. General Lu will take his leave." After saying that, she got up and walked out.

"Second mother, are you still resenting me because of what happened that day?" Lu Zheng asked abruptly.

Looking back at Lu Zheng, Pei Jiaoran opened his lips and said, "No."

After leaving the city, Pei Jiaoran went to the medical clinic in the city to see a doctor.

The doctor said she was overworked and had a cold. I prescribed some medicine for her and told her to go back and have a good rest.

Pei Jiaoran dragged his sick body and watched Jin Wuwei going in and out of various companies to take people.

In just a few days, many officials were arrested and sent to Yushi Prison.

After taking a sip of tea, Pei Jiaoran closed the account book in his hand.

Only by keeping these people free from other concerns can the stability of her poker table be ensured. As for Li Xiujing? There was only so much she could do if he couldn't figure out the crisis.

Pei Jiaoran smiled.

She should choose someone else.

Taking charge of Duzhi and competing with the eunuchs for profit was much more difficult than she imagined, but she couldn't look back. If she wants to control the wind and rain in the center, she must pay a corresponding price.

The bloody head and head she suffered after falling down on this road were all her hopes for future power.

Life is a long-distance race with a heavy burden, and we must go through fire and water with a purpose in mind, so as not to get lost on the road.
