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

"Be patient for a while longer. Taking action now is tantamount to seeking death. Isn't it a means to let one party get bigger?" Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at Li Xiujing affectionately. His tone was soft, "Too radical will only be counterproductive."

Meeting Pei Jiaoran's affectionate gaze, Li Xiujing sighed. He lowered his head and kissed her, prying open the teeth and intertwining with them.

"This is the public house of the Ministry of Revenue, and the person on duty is Minister Xu." Pei Jiaoran grabbed the lapel of Li Xiujing's clothes and smiled, "What if someone sees me?"

"I know. But I have to leave and want to stay with you for a while." Li Xiujing stopped moving and just held Pei Jiaoran in his arms. His eyes moved to her exposed feet.

Letting Li Xiujing hug her, Pei Jiaoran flipped through the records on the case. The scroll in her hand happened to belong to Shencejun, and the eyes of the people behind her moved along with her movements. His eyes fell on the three characters Zuo Shence.

"Bai Zhizhen is out, and General Jiang from Zuo Shence is a reckless man. If you want to attack them, this is a good opportunity." Li Xiujing's tone was quite leisurely as her chin rested on Pei Jiaoran's shoulder.

"What's the use of a bull's-eye to kill a chicken? Lingjia has received a letter. She and Yuan Yanchong are already on their way back. It's better to leave the matter with Zuo Shence to the Yushitai. Well, it's itchy..." Pei Jiaoran turned his head to avoid it. Li Xiujing made a move and said in a dissatisfied tone, "I have to take action from other aspects. Do you still remember the husband we met in the restaurant that day?"

Pei Jiaoran just avoided Li Xiujing's movement. The next moment, the other party's hand moved to her waist and squeezed gently.

"The one who wants to join Jia Gonglu?" Li Xiujing said in surprise, with a smile in his tone.

"Yes. He recognized me in the examination room that day and was quite surprised to see me." Pei Jiaoran tapped his fingers on the table in front of him in a lazy tone, "It's a pity that he failed the exam."

That day in the examination room of the Ministry of Etiquette. She caught sight of the man sitting in the corner at a glance. It was the man who she had lured to Jia Gonglu after meeting him in the restaurant. He looked surprised when he saw her, and almost wanted to stand up and ask questions after the exam. It's a pity that he was invited out by Jin Wuwei.

After that, she also sent someone to inquire about it. This person went to Jia Gonglu's house many times to submit papers, but he ran into trouble again and again.

"You're thinking……"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "Although he is stupid, he has red blood to use. After one exam, there are many people who have red blood."

Li Xiujing was silent after listening to Pei Jiaoran's words. He understood her intention in an instant. As a courtier, she could not directly remove the control between the inner and outer court, but the blood of some people could cast a curse on this power struggle.

The room fell into silence.

Suddenly there were footsteps at the door. When Pei Jiaoran was thinking about how to send Li Xiujing away, he heard a knock on the door.

The man then said: "Pei Shangshu, I brought you some food from the public kitchen. Would you like to eat something to fill your stomach?"

"Wait a minute." Pei Jiaoran replied, turned to look at Li Xiujing behind him, and lowered his voice, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

Hearing this, Li Xiujing smiled meaninglessly and walked directly to the side of the screen to lie down. The treasure rack in front of him just blocked his tall figure.

After glancing at Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran opened her lips and called Xu Shilang at the door to come in.

As soon as Mr. Xu came in, his eyes wandered around the room. He turned to the screen aside and frowned. But he smiled and put down the food box in his hand.

"It's weird, maybe I'm deaf. Why did it feel like Pei Shangshu was talking to someone just now." Xu Shilang sighed, with a look of pain on his face, "I don't know when Hu Bu will be able to relax."

Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's almost time. Mr. Xu is busy next door. Just let me know if you have anything."

Pei Jiaoran's words clearly meant that he was chasing away guests. Xu Shilang glanced at her and left very consciously.

The footsteps at the door gradually faded away, and after confirming that Minister Xu had left, Pei Jiaoran stood up. Taking a deep breath, he turned to look at the screen.

"Do you think he heard it?" Pei Jiaoran said in a gentle tone.

"The questions he asked seemed to be questioning whether he heard correctly." Li Xiujing stood up and looked at Pei Jiaoran through the screen, "But I can't believe it all."

The two looked at each other across the screen, and their figures seemed to be enveloped in mist. It's all a blur.

"General Shence shouldn't leave his post without permission when he's on duty, right?" Pei Jiaoran said suddenly.

After the words fell, a chuckle came from behind the screen, followed by the sound of footsteps. Li Xiujing was seen standing in front of her, looking at her affectionately.

Kissing Pei Jiaoran on the forehead, Li Xiujing said, "Then I'm leaving."

After saying this, Li Xiujing turned out of the window again just as he had come. Looking at the direction where his back disappeared, Pei Jiaoran smiled.

The book was finally delivered to Li Xiujing on the second day. The edict requesting the Ministry of Revenue to allocate military expenditures was also sent to the Ministry of Revenue. Because You Shence was about to launch the plan, as soon as the edict arrived at the household department, everyone in the household department became busy again.

In addition to staying at Hubu, someone also had to be sent to Taifu Temple.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs only handles financial and administrative orders, while the Taifu is in charge of cashiers and warehousing. The Ministry of Household Affairs must submit the documents to the Taifu, and then the Taifu can implement them according to the contents. Similarly, the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to review the actual expenditures based on the Taifu's declaration. The two rely on such procedures to restrict each other.

However, there is no time to delay in conquering Huan Qi, so we try our best to complete the process in one step.

After the examination and approval, the ultimatum written by Wai Lang, a member of Duzhi, in the name of the judge of Duzhitong, was stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Pei Jiaoran immediately sent someone to deliver the document to the left and right servants of the Shangshu Province, who checked it. After passing it, it was directly passed to the Duzhi member Wai Lang, who was responsible for executing it. With the Duzhi Talisman, go to Taifu Temple for control, and finally the Taifu cashier will execute it.

It took three days to complete a series of procedures.

Cao Wenzhong came to trouble him on the way. Unfortunately, the process at the Ministry of Revenue was very good, and by the time he came to ask, it had already reached the point where the Taifu was the cashier.

Pei Jiaoran, who had just returned from the Taifu, glanced at Cao Wenzhong who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and she frowned slightly. Then he returned to his usual smiling appearance.

"Lieutenant Cao suddenly came to the household department, why?" Pei Jiaoran asked with a smile.

"Oh, let's ask about military expenditures. Pei Shangshu, you should know that the right army is about to launch, so we can't delay." His eyes wandered to Pei Jiaoran, Cao Wenzhong raised his eyebrows, "Why do I feel that Pei Shangshu is more radiant than before? To be glowing, could it be that I secretly found a young man to moisturize my body?"

"Ha." Pei Jiaoran sneered and licked his lips, "I have to be looked after by His Majesty. I am in charge of the Household Department. I don't have time to have fun in Pingkangfang. Lieutenant Cao may be dazzled, but I am obviously very tired."

"I forgot that Pei Shangshu is a busy man." Cao Wenzhong glanced at Pei Jiaoran, "But if Pei Shangshu is in need, he has some good people under his command."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said nothing. Seeing that she was silent, Cao Wenzhong seemed to feel bored and strode away with a group of divine soldiers.

After sending Cao Wenzhong away with a smile, Pei Jiaoran turned to look at the tea set and the seat where Cao Wenzhong had been sitting, with disgust in his eyes. He sent his servants to throw them away.

After all, You Shencejun failed to stay in Chang'an until March. As soon as the military expenditures from the Ministry of Revenue were allocated, a large group of people set out from Chang'an and headed straight for eastern Zhejiang.
