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

Listening to Zhao Heng's voice, Pei Jiaoran suppressed the deep meaning in his eyes. With a look on his face, he leaned on the table.

"You can check whatever you want. Besides, Zhao Shenjun has taken over the post of temporary governor, so why should you ask me?" Li Xiujing said in a deep voice.

"Although this is the case, the investigation of this matter is very involved. The consequences here are definitely not something that the official can bear." Zhao Heng suddenly stood up, knelt on the ground, and said in a panic, "I hope the governor will tell me how to investigate this matter." thing."

Pei Jiaoran, who had been watching for a long time, put his hands on his hands and smiled.

"Isn't it Zhao Shenjun who wants to investigate the public affairs account? Now that he has found out the problem, he has to avoid it because he is afraid of trouble, and then forward it to others?" Pei Jiaoran looked sarcastically and stared at Zhao Heng, "There is no such reason. .”

Although she didn't know Zhao Heng very well, she had heard from a colleague in her previous life that he had a very good reputation. He doesn't allow others to say anything wrong about him.

Zhao Heng had veins bulging on his forehead, obviously very angry. But because Li Xiujing, a serious governor, was still there, it was unclear what the relationship between the two was. He had to suppress his anger for the time being and look at her calmly.

"When are the affairs of the state capital discussed, will it be the turn of the small county magistrate to intervene?" Zhao Heng said the next sentence.

Zhao Heng's words revealed Pei Jiaoran's identity, and he seemed to want him to leave and not allow him to get involved again.

Pei Jiaoran was willing to comply with his wishes for the time being, and stood up with his sleeves rolled up to bow to Li Xiujing. Under Li Xiujing's gaze, he stepped out slowly.

Stepping out of the public kitchen, I looked up at the winter sun behind the snow. Pei Jiaoran smiled.

She has already laid a trap, so there is no reason to worry that Zhao Heng will not come in. It should be said that Zhao Heng had to come in. The way she gave him, there was no turning back.

After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Pei Jiaoran returned to the county house and picked up Bi Fei. As the new year approaches, I need to add something to my family.

Even if the county house is just her temporary residence, she still needs to add some flavor of the year to it.

This is what counts as a home.

Bi Fei changed into a peach red skirt and walked through the bustling market. When I see something I like, I stand in front of the stall owner and negotiate the price with my hands on my hips. Don't pay until you are satisfied.

Many stall owners looked at Bi Fei and shook their heads.

"Girl, you like the steamed glutinous rice cakes." Bi Fei held an oil paper bag and brought it to Pei Jiaoran's eyes, "Try it and see how it tastes?"

Twist the rice cake and take a small bite. Pei Jiaoran opened his lips and said, "It's acceptable."

"Then I'll buy a few more."

Seeing Bi Fei's back running towards the stall, Pei Jiaoran shook his head and chased after her. The salary she had saved so hard could not be spent so recklessly.

Bi Fei negotiated the price with the stall owner as usual, causing the stall owner to look at her for help.

"Okay, it's not easy for people to open their doors and do business. One packet is enough." Pei Jiaoran smiled and took the copper coins from Bi Fei's hand and handed them to the stall owner.

The stall owner smiled happily when he saw this. He stuffed another half of the bag into Bi Fei and said to Pei Jiaoran, "Pei Mingfu, you are kind-hearted. This half of the bag is for me to give to you."

After stuffing the half-package of flower cakes handed over by the stall owner into the bamboo basket, Bi Fei took Pei Jiaoran's hand and ran forward. The two stopped in front of a clothing store.

At this time, many people had gathered in the shop, and Bi Fei struggled to open a path. He dragged her in and squeezed in. He pointed at the clothes hanging on the wall and said with a bold look, "Girl, which one do you like? The Chinese New Year is almost here, you have to change into new clothes."

His eyes fell on Bi Fei's face, and Pei Jiaoran pinched his eyebrows. She suddenly regretted bringing Bi Fei out. I'm afraid that when she goes back today, she won't have much of her saved salary left.

Finally, at Bi Fei's urging, Pei Jiaoran chose a dress that hung in a conspicuous place in the middle.

Upon seeing Pei Jiaoran's choice, the shopkeeper smiled and came forward, "Girl, you have good taste. This is the treasure of our store. The girl has fair skin. This color must be very popular with you. I will let the red master in the shop by then." Let me dress you up."

Pei Jiaoran frowned at the compliment and asked the shopkeeper to take off his clothes. He took the clothes and walked to the inner room under the guidance of the maid in the store to change clothes.

Take off the robe and inner layer one by one and put on the skirt.

Silver and vermilion narrow-sleeved shirt, with a circle of fine snow-white hair sewn along the collar and extending to both plackets. The crimson skirt is placed on the chest, wrapped around the armpits and tied with tassels.

After putting on her clothes, Pei Jiaoran was about to lift the curtain and go out. Suddenly I heard a conversation next door, and the word "an" was vaguely mentioned.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran stopped and listened carefully.

"This court loves to torment people. One moment they ask us to vacate the house for the homeless people to live in, and the next moment they ask us to faithfully return the loan money. The former is fine, but the latter is simply a waste of time. ." The person next door sighed, "Now my husband is worried about this matter."

The other person also sighed and took over the conversation, "Who says it's not the case? But Mrs. An, at least your family has a big business, so you don't have to worry too much. My family is just lucky enough to get such an errand as catching money. Now the state capital They actually want to investigate the money account, how did they divide the accounts in the past, don't they have a clear conscience?"

"Forget it. Don't talk about it and let's continue picking out clothes."

The conversation in the cubicle stopped suddenly, but Pei Jiaoran did not go out immediately. When she heard the footsteps getting further away, she walked out slowly.

"Let me tell you, my wife will look great in this outfit." The store owner praised.

"My girl is good-looking, so she will look good in anything she wears." Bi Fei stepped forward to squeeze through the store with a smile on her face, "Would you like to stop dressing up? This color really suits you."

Pei Jiaoran, who was searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the two ladies, nodded slightly. Bi Fei pulled her to sit in front of the dressing table and untied her hair.

Pei Jiaoran, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, attracted many ladies to stop and take a look. Taking this opportunity, she continued to search for the person she was looking for.

"Ms. An, the clothes on this girl look really nice. Why don't you try it on later?"

The person who was called Mrs. An shook her head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This color would only look good on a young lady, and I, an old lady, can't join in the fun."

Seeing that the target he was looking for opened his mouth, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips. His hand secretly reached behind his back, and he flicked his fingers to express his strength.

The screen behind him suddenly fell backward. The sudden movement startled everyone and they all ran backwards.

When everyone came to their senses, they saw a woman in a blue skirt lying on her back on the ground, with blood dripping from her body. Next to her squatted a woman in an ocher red skirt, crying profusely.

"Ah, isn't this Miss An? She is pregnant. Please help her find a doctor." Someone in the crowd said.

At this time, Pei Jiaoran had already stood up and half-crouched to check Mrs. An's injuries. He turned to look at the annoyed woman beside him, "Is this lady injured? If not, can you help someone help this lady see a doctor?"

The woman stopped crying and nodded. He helped Pei Jiaoran pick up Mrs. An who fell to the ground and walked out.

Seeing this, the crowd also hurriedly made way for them.

He carried Mrs. An onto the carriage and settled down. Pei Jiaoran opened the curtain and looked at Bi Fei, "You go back first, I'm fine."
