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

In a mansion in Weizhou City, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard from time to time. Across the high wall, the owner of this courtyard was lying on a chair with a sad expression. He paid no attention to the diligent service of the beautiful lady beside him. That person is not frugal. Pei Jiaoran held a banquet last night, but he didn't go because he was ill. It was actually because he found that Lu Yushi was missing. Too scared to show up.

Now that Yushi Lu's life and death are uncertain, he can't guarantee whether he will confess them. Originally, he came here under the order of someone in Chang'an, looking for an opportunity to destroy the new order, kill Pei Jiaoran, and then put the blame on Wei Bojieshuai. The conspiracy with Lu Yushi was also based on that person's arrangement.

But now the plan is all messed up. He has no way of knowing what the other person wants to do next. How much evidence do you have in your hands?

Just as he was thinking about it, the door was kicked open. A team of Sergeant Wei Bo in full armor broke in with spears. Then came Pei Jiaoran, who was wearing a purple robe and holding a sword.

"Mr. Pei..." Wu Xingjian bowed and called.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "I heard that General Wu is ill. I came here specifically to check on him and gave him some good medicine."

As soon as he finished speaking, two Wei Bo sergeants pushed one person in. He held the man on his knees.

Wu Xingjian frowned and said, "Mr. Pei, what do you mean?"

"General Wu, don't you recognize him?" Pei Jiaoran stepped forward and lifted the man's chin with the tip of his sword, "This is the Censor Lu who came with us. How could you not remember?"

"Censor Lu? What happened to him?" Wu Xingjian asked in shock.

"Then we have to ask why Lu Yushi only has five fingers left on his left hand." Pei Jiaoran looked at the two of them coldly, "Lu Yushi, why don't you say it yourself?"

Lu Yushi angrily scolded: "Pei Jiaoran, you colluded with the rebels and caused trouble in Chang'an. All my family members were killed by the rebels. I am the one who wants to kill you, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran was stunned. In an instant, Censor Lu was pinned to the ground by two Wei Bo sergeants and struck his spine with a spear.

Seeing that Lu Yushi had been beaten to the point of dying, Pei Jiaoran waved his hand for the two of them to stop.

"Censor Lu, but he ordered you?" Pei Jiaoran asked.

"No one is instructing me! You are a treacherous person who brings trouble to the government. Everyone will punish you. I still have a mouth and hands. Even if I die today, I will still scold you in a poem." Lu Yushi was pressed down by someone. , looked at her with hatred in his eyes, "Shameless traitor! You will not die well!"

"Pull him down." Pei Jiaoran waved his hand with a deep look, indicating to Sergeant Wei Bo to pull Lu Yushi down.

She knew what Lu Yushi had planned. He just wanted to anger her and make her kill him. His body and soul disappeared, but he was able to leave a clean reputation in the world. For this, the best thing is to punish him with the law. This will not harm her political aspirations.

As for not practicing frugality...

Before she could look away, Wu Xingjian was already kneeling on the ground with a thud.

"Mr. Pei..." Wu Xingjian lowered his head and whispered.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran remained silent and stared at him coldly.

While she was frowning, Wu Xingjian stood up. Pishou snatched the knife of Sergeant Wei Bo who was guarding him on the left, jumped over the wall and ran out.

"Mr. Pei!" someone in the court called.

Pei Jiaoran said slowly: "Let him run for a while first."

Everyone didn't understand what it meant, so they had to wait calmly. After about a cup of tea, Pei Jiaoran gave the order.

"Catch him in the name of catching bandits. Remember not to disturb the people." Pei Jiaoran said warmly.

"Here."

Several people took the order and left, leaving Pei Jiaoran alone with the crying lady.

Pei Jiaoran turned to look at the lady, shook his head and left.

As soon as she stepped out of the small courtyard, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in her ears. Looking for the reputation, I saw Cui Shang riding on a horse with grass in his mouth and a carefree look on his face.

Seeing her looking over, Cui Shang said with a playful smile: "Mr. Pei."

"Cui Liulang." Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said calmly.

Since Cui Shang appeared in front of her, she had secretly infiltrated someone to investigate the Cui family. Learned Cui Shang’s ranking at home.

Hearing her voice Cui Liulang, Cui Shang smiled. Da Ma approached her and said condescendingly: "Didn't Mr. Pei tell me a few days ago that you are good at training horses and people? How come it's only been a few days that the people under you have separated from you."

"The human heart is hard to control." Pei Jiaoran smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves, "But Pei still has a way to embarrass you Cui Liulang."

Cui Shang frowned and looked at her doubtfully. I saw the tips of her two fingers facing each other, close to her lips. Cui Shang secretly thought it was not good.

A whistle hits my ears. The horse underneath him turned around and ran away, as if frightened. Cui Shang was forced to quickly rein in the horse, but he finally managed to rein it in. Another whistle sounded behind him, and the horse galloped forward again.

He led two Wei Bo sergeants on horseback and came out of the alley slowly. Pei Jiaoran raised his lips, turned his horse's head and chased in the direction in which Wu Xingjian was escaping.

Pei Jiaoran had already arranged for Sergeant Wei Bo to send an order to the city gate to tighten martial law in the name of arresting bandits. If you don't practice frugality, you will naturally have trouble escaping.

Pei Jiaoran was not in a hurry once he learned about Wu Xingjian's current hiding place. They only arranged for people to surround the dilapidated courtyard tightly.

"You must be tired after chasing him for so long." Pei Jiaoran took out a tips bag from his sleeve with a smile, "General Luo, use this money to buy wine for your brothers to quench their thirst."

"Thank you, Mr. Pei."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said nothing. These people were all assigned to her by Tian Zizhan from among Wei Bo's sergeants when she was inspecting the county. Since that day, she often paid for them to be given to General Luo, who took the lead, to entertain them. In this way, he can win people's hearts so that he can bury his spy around Tian Zizhan.

Standing in front of the courtyard gate with his hands behind his hands, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked in the direction of the alley. She also arranged a guard at the entrance of the alley, so even if the people knew that the state capital was arresting bandits, they did not dare to come and take a look.

"General Wu, you still have a wife, daughter and mother in Chang'an. Why bother to fight for that man." Pei Jiaoran opened his lips and said slowly.

With a "squeak" sound, the door opened a small crack.

Wu Xingjian was seen looking at her coldly through the crack in the door. It was as if he didn't believe what she said.

"General Wu, have you figured it out?" Pei Jiaoran said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light shot out from the crack in the door. Sensing something was wrong, Pei Jiaoran subconsciously twisted his waist to avoid it. The next moment, Wu Xingjian rushed out with a knife and fought with her.

Pei Jiaoran stepped back quickly to avoid Wu Xingjian's blade, and flicked the sword out of its sheath with his thumb. Pure Jun is like a silver snake swimming around, resting on the sword.

Soldiers have their own way of being a soldier, and Pei Jiaoran's sword skills are superior to his ethereal and flexible posture. With a "clang" sound, the horizontal knife in Wu Xingjian's hand flew out.

With the sword pointed at Wu Xingjian's throat, Pei Jiaoran said, "Tie him up with a rope and take him back to the state prison."

People have already taken it. Any more nonsense will only cause trouble.

After Wu Xingjian was taken to the state prison, Pei Jiaoran ordered several people to be interrogated.

The lights inside the state prison are dim. Although the brazier was blazing, it made the axe, soup wok and iron placed next to the brazier hanging on the wall even more terrifying.

Among the six people including Wu Sima, in addition to the two Jinwu guards who accompanied him, the other four were also state and county officials. No matter how they got together, she couldn't tolerate them just trying to destroy the new imperial order.

He glanced at the jailer waiting nearby. Pei Jiaoran looked at the man whose limbs were wrapped around a finger-wide iron chain and tied to the wall. The six people, whose bodies were burned with a branding iron, frowned slightly.

"Do you have a confession?" Pei Jiaoran asked with his hands behind his hands.

"Yes." The jailer hurriedly asked someone to hand over the confession, "Mr. Pei, this is their confession."

Pei Jiaoran glanced at the confession and said, "Let them sign it."

"Here."

After burning the incense, Pei Jiaoran walked up to Wu Xingjian holding the confessions of the other six people.

"General Wu, they have already confessed. They were all bribed and instigated by you. Do you want to hide it again?" Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes and looked at him, his eyes like frost and snow.

On the black text on the white paper, the bright red fingerprints are particularly eye-catching. Wu Xingjian closed his eyes and sighed.

"If you want to kill or behead, please do whatever you want."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran gasped, "Is that that one? He is really not clear-headed." She paused and said, "To murder the courtiers and prevent the implementation of the new imperial order, Pei will truthfully report the confession and the whole story to the imperial court. General Wu take care."

Catching them is one thing, but really we have to kill them. You still have to use the court's sword to avoid falling into anyone's mouth.

Instruct the jailer to arrange for people to be well guarded and not let them die. Pei Jiaoran then left the state prison.

"Mr. Pei has figured it out." A man stepped forward on horseback and said with a smile, "Let Liu Lang wait."

Pei Jiaoran frowned and was about to speak. I saw Li Xiujing riding a horse and leading six Shence troops. He came over with a domineering look on his face.

"Late at night, a certain person came to pick up Mr. Pei." Li Xiujing rode his horse to stop Cui Shangma.

"Are you...?" Cui Shang frowned.

"Youshence General Li Xiujing." Li Xiujing raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Pei Jiaoran, "Ms. Pei, are you going back?"

Pei Jiaoran laughed and got on his horse. The two rode off together.

"I heard that you haven't been here for a long time, why did you come suddenly?" Seeing the post house right in front of him, Pei Jiaoran suddenly reined in his horse and asked.

Li Xiujing pulled the reins and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you back for so long, I'm worried."

This was not a lie on his part, it was a fact. She has been out for most of the day and still hasn't come back. He went out to look for her and saw Cui Shang at the gate of Zhoushe.

Thinking that Cui Shang is a member of the Cui family, I was afraid that he would appear at this time. It's not good for Pei Jiaoran.

"I thought you..." Pei Jiaoran blinked and said meaningfully.

She knew that nothing good could come out of her mouth. Li Xiujing walked into the posthouse with a low face.

Looking at Li Xiujing's back, Pei Jiaoran smiled narrowly. He also dismounted and followed him. Walk slowly inside.

Stopping in front of the house, Li Xiujing turned to look at Pei Jiaoran who was following behind her.

"Do you like to see me jealous?" Li Xiujing said, "Then I'll let you see it to your heart's content."

Sensing something wrong in his words, Pei Jiaoran smiled. Step back.

"I still have something to do. General Li is resting." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran ran away.

rest? He didn't want to rest today.

However, Pei Jiaoran didn't let him get what he wanted. He just sent someone to give him a volume of "Shang Shu" and asked him to cultivate his moral character. You must strive to be the best in debate.

After sending the postman away, Li Xiujing looked at the volume of "Shang Shu" on the case. I could only suppress the fire in my heart and turn the pages of the book.
