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

Meeting Pei Jiaoran's gaze, Cui Yuzhang tilted his head and said nothing. The deep purple robe passed him by.

Pei Jiaoran stopped and said with a smile: "Too many people have died in the chaos in Heshuo. They may not be willing to trust you again." She turned on the horse brought by Jin Wuwei and spoke softly, "But the new order is to Maintained together.”

Here, General Wu and Tian Zizhan had already brought their own people to count the casualties on both sides and tie up the prisoners of war. As for the powerful and well-supported disciples and their leaders who also participated, they looked at Cui Yuzhang with pleading expressions.

I just hope that Cui Yuzhang can plead for them. After all, no matter what the Bolingcui family said, their words had more weight than them, and there were still people serving as officials in the court.

Cui Yuzhang glanced at those heroes who had some friendship with him in the past, and looked at him with pleading expressions. Sighing silently. Even though the Cui family is quite prestigious in Heshuo, the stain of breaking the alliance will more or less affect the Cui family's status in Heshuo.

After thinking for a while, Cui Yuzhang said loudly: "I want to make a deal with Mr. Pei."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran reined in his horse and turned around, nodding for him to continue speaking.

"Xiangong Pei just said that the new order needs to be maintained through joint efforts. I would like to ask Xianggong Pei to show his respect and let them go. After all, they are not wrong. Once they are all punished, they will inevitably suffer strong backlash."

"Haha. Why do I hear Mr. Cui saying this as if he is threatening me?" Pei Jiaoran raised his lips, "Although maintaining order requires the joint efforts of all parties, there is also a price to pay. Forgiving their sins is a loss-making business, unless Cui Gong can offer a higher reward. Otherwise, I can only guarantee this matter, and it will only involve the agreed level."

After speaking, Pei Jiaoran ordered General Wu to continue cleaning the battlefield. He went back to the car to rest. I changed into a set of clean clothes.

Seeing Cui Yuzhang coming back with a sullen expression, Cui Shang went up to greet him.

Pei Jiaoran in the carriage looked at the two of them, frowning and saying nothing. This time Cui Yuzhang brought about a thousand people. Except for the retainers supported by the Cui family, the rest were members of the Cui family. This time he turned to help the court, and it seemed that Cui Shao's instructions were behind him. I want to see what her attitude is.

Heshuo won, and the Xue family continued to sit back and relax. If the imperial court wins, there will still be room for advancement and retreat with the power of the Cui family.

Knocking on the table with his fingers, Pei Jiaoran's eyes became more and more thoughtful.

Outside the carriage, Cui Yuzhang and Cui Shang whispered a few words. Cui Shang turned to look at her with a frown, bowed and left.

"Mr. Pei." Tian Zizhan rode his horse over at some unknown time, reined in his horse and called out in front of the carriage.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran gathered his thoughts and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The battlefield has been cleaned. Those prisoners..." Tian Zizhan looked at Pei Jiaoran with doubt in his eyes, "What are you going to do with them?"

"They are all handsome people. You have the final say on how to deal with them, not me." Pei Jiaoran said in a soft tone.

Tian Zi looked at Pei Jiaoran and said nothing. Just now he had heard the conversation between her and Cui Yuzhang. The meaning is obvious, she will only control the situation at the appropriate level. If she wants to forgive those people's crimes, she will only pay a sufficient price.

Tian Zizhan looked at Pei Jiaoran with his eyes closed again, bowed his hands and said, "I will give Mr. Pei a satisfactory answer."

"Then I'll wait and see." Pei Jiaoran looked at Tian Zizhan with a smile, "Lingjia has just sent someone to repay, and the Jieshuai Mansion is already under her control. Brother Zizhan, are you satisfied with the reward I give you?"

"Of course." Tian Zizhan nodded.

In an instant, he understood Pei Jiaoran's intention in taking risks this time.

By the time he came to his senses, Pei Jiaoran had already boarded the car and left under the escort of Jinwu Guards.

The situation in Weizhou City was better than she imagined.

After Wu Lingjia occupied the Commander's Mansion, he immediately took control of the baggage warehouse and various fortresses. At the same time, people were sent to surround the houses of Su Yuan, Zhou Xu and other high-ranking generals in Wei Bo on the pretext that someone in the army was causing trouble.

After listening to the reports from the two censors, Pei Jiaoran ordered people to go directly to Jieshuai's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the house, Wu Lingjia greeted him.

"How are you?" Pei Jiaoran held Wu Lingjia's hand and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Wu Lingjia said as he pulled her inside: "The situation is similar to what you guessed. There are not many rebellious people among Sergeant Wei Bo, and most of them were instigated by Su Yuan and the others. .”

"In that case. Later I will ask the chief minister of the mansion to send over the list of the dead soldiers of Sergeant Wei Bo. Based on the list, you can decide how much pension should be given." After a pause, Pei Jiaoran continued: "And together with Su Yuan Those who rebel will also be subject to death compensation standards.”

"Are you planning to forgive them?" Wu Lingjia asked in surprise.

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran shook his head, "No. They are all from the lower class, and asking them about their crimes would make the court look harsh. So I gave the decision-making power to Tian Zizhan and let him make his own decision. The first thing we punish is those powerful people. , they are the key.”

"I understand. Do you want to take a rest? Just in time, the letter written by Li Xiujing has arrived." Wu Lingjia took the letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Looking at Jia Jia Huijian on the letter, Pei Jiaoran frowned. Silently, he put the letter into his sleeve, "I'll rest in the main hall for a while, and you can ask the kitchen to make me a bowl of ginger soup. When Tian Zizhan comes back, let me know immediately. Don't tire yourself out, either." Go and have a rest when you have time.”

"Don't worry. Look at you, you're wet. Now you have to share many things in Heshuo, so you can't get sick."

Walk into the main hall, gather your clothes and sit down. Pei Jiaoran rubbed his forehead and took the letter out of his sleeve.

Rubbing the familiar handwriting on the letter, Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath. If her estimate is correct, Li Xiujing has now conquered Jingyuan and returned to Chang'an.

He must be very unhappy knowing that he is not in Chang'an.

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do.

With Heshuo like this, she could only get what she wanted by coming in person. Although it might not be possible for anyone else to succeed, she has her own benefits.

Show the letter and read it. It was still the same as she imagined, and he told her sourly that he missed her. In the end, he informed her of Chang'an's recent situation.

Each department is already preparing to open regular courses and manufacturing courses next spring. However, the examiner has not been finalized yet. If she can come back as soon as possible, she will probably be able to become the examiner.

Pei Jiaoran's dark eyebrows knit together. Things on Heshuo's side are coming to an end. As long as Cui Yuzhang can nod her head and she goes to Chang'an again, the implementation of the decree will be just around the corner.

There is only one thing: she is the author of the new decree. If she had stayed a little longer, she would have been better able to participate. But it means that he cannot return to Chang'an as scheduled.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran sighed.

No system can escape bloodshed and sacrifice. But she still hopes to inflict less suffering on the people, which will be beneficial to her and the court.
