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

When Pei Jiaoran woke up, it was already the evening of the second day. Drowsily, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and saw Wu Lingjia reading the case file. Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath.

"Am I sick?" Pei Jiaoran frowned.

"I knocked on the door this morning and called you, but I found that you didn't answer for a long time. When I came in, your forehead was very hot. The doctor said you were exposed to the rain and wind." Wu Lingjia stood up and handed over the medicine. "You first take the medicine. Take the medicine."

After taking the medicine and drinking it in one gulp, Pei Jiaoran said, "Did you get all the information delivered?"

"Well. You really don't want to rest for a moment." Wu Lingjia turned back to the case and came back with an account book, "This is what Tian Zizhan sent this morning. Cui Yuzhang is also here, and they both want to see you. I said you I have important matters to deal with, so it’s inconvenient to see them.”

Putting his finger on the cover of the account book, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "That's right. I can't let them know that I'm sick at this time. I'll go to the nearby counties tomorrow to check, and there are some things that these county magistrates know clearly. By the way, I'll pick a few for you. The help is back.”

"Don't you want to stay a little longer?" Wu Lingjia pointed to the jade pendant lying on her pillow, "Is it possible that you are thinking about Li Xiujing?"

"No. The examinations for the system subjects and regular subjects are about to start. If I don't go back early, how can I serve as the examiner? Here in Heshuo, I want to try my best to implement the decree first, and leave the rest to you." Pei Jiaoran opened the account book and continued. He said: "Your Majesty, I will play the show. You can rest assured."

Wu Changli is dead. If Wu Lingjia wants to gain a firm foothold in the court, he must have political achievements as a basis. And she also trusted Wu Lingjia, so she was willing to give this credit to Wu Lingjia as her political achievement.

"Okay. Okay, you rest. I'm leaving first. You can look at this account book tomorrow." Wu Lingjia stood up and took the account book from her hand without any explanation.

After watching Wu Lingjia leave, Pei Jiaoran frowned and stood up. He pushed half the window open and looked down. Now the guards inside and outside the station have been replaced by Jinwu Guards, and Wei Bojun has been completely withdrawn. The entire inn now looks reassuring.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Jiaoran called the postman over. She asked him to go to Jieshuai Mansion to inform her that she would be going on inspection in nearby prefectures and counties tomorrow and asked him to make arrangements for her.

The postman took the order and left.

In the Jieshuai Mansion.

After listening to the postman's report, Tian Zizhan said: "Who does Mr. Pei want to see?"

The postman said: "Xianggong Pei didn't say anything. He just asked you to make arrangements for your trip. The accompanying soldiers do not need to wear armor."

"That's it. I know what to do. Go back and tell Mr. Pei that I will make arrangements."

"Here."

The next day, Sergeant Wei Bo, arranged by Tian Zizhan, was already waiting at the door of the inn. Each is wearing a black or ocher round-neck robe.

There were ten people in total, cooperating with the Jin Wuwei she had selected. Just formed an escort team. Nodding with satisfaction, Pei Jiaoran got on his horse.

Scan around and put down the gauze curtain on the power fence. Pei Jiaoran raised his hand and motioned for everyone to set off.

As soon as the group came out of the city gate, they met Cui Shang. Cui Shang came up to say hello.

Looking at Cui Shang with a smile, Pei Jiaoran just ordered the team to continue moving forward. She knew that this was a deliberate show of goodwill by the Cui family, and she also saw the close connection between Jieshuai Mansion and the local aristocratic families.

None of this is harmful. Looking forward, these feudal families are like the derivatives of Wubao Manor in later generations. In the past, there were servants and maids guarding the Wubao Manor outside, and there was a large area of ​​cultivated land outside. Of course, Wubao and the manor still cannot be compared, even if the two were almost reduced to one in later generations.

According to historical records, Wubao is the heroic backbone of China, which is meaningful in its era. However, the vassal towns derived from it can easily become barriers to the issuance of imperial orders.

"Ms. Pei, which counties are we going to? I'll make arrangements for you." Cui Shang rode up to her horse and asked with a smile.

Cui Shang squinted his eyes, and Pei Jiaoran raised his lips. Although she didn't like the Cui family either, she wouldn't hit the smiling man. What's more, she still needs to work with Cui Shao, and she still has to give her the face she deserves.

"I'll go as many as I can today." Pei Jiaoran shook his riding whip and loosened the reins, "What are you doing? Cui Langjun, I feel tired now."

Cui Shang is the bastard son of the second wife of the Cui family. He is just eighteen years old this year. He is young and unattractive, but he can still serve as the little boss in charge of the Cui family, which shows that he still has some abilities.

"No way. I'm worried that the journey is far away and I might have to sleep outdoors." Cui Shang held a piece of grass in his mouth, glanced at Pei Jiaoran from time to time, and said in surprise: "Mr. Pei, you trust the horse to follow the rein, so you are not afraid of the horse going crazy. ?”

"Going crazy? When marching and fighting, horses are the most important partners of soldiers. There is trust and tacit understanding between them. Doesn't our Emperor Taizong Wen have six horses to accompany him from birth to death? Sa Luzi even protected him during the Battle of Luoyang The master died." Pei Jiaoran stroked the horse's mane and said: "Training horses is the same as training people. As long as you understand their temperament, you can trust them more."

"Mr. Pei's words make sense." Cui Shang nodded thoughtfully.

While talking, the two of them had already passed through the dense forest. A large-scale city appears in front of you.

Cui Shang pointed to the front, "That is Wei County, the largest of the counties under Weizhou. Would you like to go in and have a look, Mr. Pei?"

"it is good."

A group of people rode into the city, and the city was as lively as they imagined. Therefore, the arrival of Pei Jiaoran and his entourage did not cause much commotion.

Pei Jiaoran reined in his horse in front of the county hall, his eyes deep.

Suddenly there was the sound of "clack-clack" hooves in the distance.

Pei Jiaoran turned around and saw a man in gray robe wearing a bamboo hat driving a donkey coming from a distance. The donkey's queen is still pulling the goods. The donkey cart stopped at the gate of the county house.

The soldiers at the door quickly came forward and said, "Mr. Xu, you are back. How was your harvest today?"

"That's right." County Magistrate Xu turned around and looked at Pei Jiaoran and others suspiciously, "Go and ask them who they are and what they are doing in the county."

"Here."

Magistrate Xu drove the donkey cart into the county house through the small gate. The soldiers came towards them.

"Hey, where are you from? What are you doing here?"

The accompanying Jin Wuwei received Pei Jiaoran's hint and stepped forward to salute, "My master is from Yuancheng County. I heard that the court has a new policy and my master has a lot of land. I wanted to come and ask what's going on."

"I can't see you. The imperial envoys are coming to each county, so the county magistrate has no time to take care of you. Besides, I don't know if this new order can be implemented. Why are you so anxious?" The soldiers waved their hands impatiently. .

"But we also just want to know something. Can you inform the county magistrate for us?" Jin Wuwei frowned.

"I told you no. You guys should leave quickly."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised her hand to signal everyone to silence, and pointed to the tea shop nearby, "Let's go. Let's go there to rest first." After saying that, she looked at the soldier again, "Those who are good officials will cultivate virtue, and those who are not good will cultivate virtue. Officials create resentment."

After listening to the words, the soldier glanced at her up and down. He muttered and returned to the county house.

"Ms. Pei, are we just waiting here?" Cui Shang asked.

"What do you say?"
