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

After getting the answer, Pei Jiaoran walked out of the cell. Standing under the verandah facing the morning light, frowning in thought. The current situation is not suitable for a large-scale search in the city.

It is very likely that the group of Tubo people will take advantage of the search break to cause trouble in the city again.

The most important thing is that there are many Hu businessmen in the city. If Tubo is allowed to incite Hu merchants to join forces with them, then Guazhou will be unable to defend itself against the enemy due to internal troubles.

After finishing the meal in the public kitchen, Pei Jiaoran ordered Du Bingzuo to patrol the city quietly. Take the opportunity to go to the oil shop in the city to search for the whereabouts of the group of Tibetan thieves, but remember not to alert the enemy. In addition, a porridge shop was set up in the city in the name of the county government, and the Chinese medicine shop in the city also had people stationed there.

No one in the county dared to slack off under Pei Jiaoran's pressure. When they meet injured people in the city, they will give medicine to them, and those who have received medicine will be registered in the register to prevent anyone from receiving more.

It can be said that peace in Guazhou has been maintained for the time being. But Pei Jiaoran knew that as long as the Tubo people were not found, it would be impossible to truly settle down. Du Bingzuo had been searching the city for two days and still had no clue. The group seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Pei Jiaoran interrogated Dahan again on the way. Dahan killed his tribesmen and hid them in the oil mill. She knew in her heart that she would never be able to ask any more questions, so she had to give up.

Finally, on the morning of the third day, something happened again in the city. A group of Hu merchants gathered at the city gate and demanded that the door be opened to let them leave. However, Li Xiujing was busy with military affairs. He had been discussing defense matters in Changle County in the past few days and was not in the city. He left all the affairs in the city, big and small, in Pei Jiaoran's hands.

The captain in charge of guarding the city gate was upset by the Hu merchants blocking the door. However, due to the imperial decree, he could not do anything to them, so he could only send someone to invite Pei Jiaoran.

Pei Jiaoran, who came on horseback, reined in his horse in the distance. He looked at everything in front of him calmly. The city gate of Guazhou was closed tightly. A row of wooden fences was erected in front of the city gate, and a group of heavily armored guards maintained the most basic cordon.

According to the town soldier who sent the message, these people had been gathering here for almost two hours. There were many people wailing and shouting among them. Those Hu merchants were wrapped in anger, and their emotions became higher and higher. Uneasiness and fear fermented freely among the crowd. Even some people have no scruples about their words and deeds.

Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes and said loudly, "You all got up really early today."

The voice was clearer, but cold and stern.

The Hu merchants who were blocking the door all turned around.

Pei Jiaoran immediately looked at them with an arrogant expression and raised a curve on his lips.

"Pei Ming Mansion." One of them called, his eyes falling on her, "Why do you want to imprison me in the city? We are just a businessman."

"The incident happened suddenly, so we can only stay in Guazhou for a few days." Pei Jiaoran said with a warm smile.

The man with a colorful scarf on his head snorted coldly, "Aren't there just a few thieves making trouble in the city? It's been three days now, and not even a shadow of the thieves has been seen. Now that we are trapped here, how are you doing? What kind of heart."

As soon as he finished speaking, the commotion started again behind Pei Jiaoran. She turned her head in confusion and saw many people walking towards her menacingly carrying farm tools.

Seeing this situation, Pei Jiaoran's face darkened. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the soldiers beside him who were about to let off their thunder, and stretched out their hands to stop him.

The people holding farm tools stopped a few steps away.

"Why do you want to block the news that the charity warehouse was burned? Don't think that just because you give out porridge and medicine, we can work for you. Let us go out of the city to avoid disaster."

"Yes, let us out. Tubo will come soon. I don't want to die."

Listening to the people's words, Huan Zhang's eyes turned sharp. Sure enough, someone was secretly planning a civil uprising. He narrowed his eyes and saw the miserable state of the people in the past, still before his eyes.

Due to the gathering, the aura of hostility filled the surrounding area. Pei Jiaoran's hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists. The people in front of him had been aroused to anger. Some people spread rumors among them, and the herd mentality in these people's bones is enough to produce destructive power that cannibalize everything.

Just like in the previous life, this anger is likely to burn down the prosperity of Guazhou and make people mourn everywhere.

Taking a step forward from his horse, Pei Jiaoran said in a warm voice: "We have received the governor's promise that we will open the treasury to distribute food to you. I hope you will go back and rest, and don't fall into the trap of the thieves."

But the group of Hu merchants started a riot again at this time, shouting loudly to ask the people not to believe her lies. After hearing this, the people's faces became more indignant and they walked towards them waving their farm tools.

It is obvious that the situation has now developed to the worst situation.

Pei Jiaoran stood among the crowd, wearing a green shirt.

She knew very well that if she continued to think of ways to stop this rebellion, she would never be able to bear the consequences. Not to mention that he will die here, even if he is lucky enough to survive, his career will end here.

Seeing the people approaching step by step, the county soldiers who came with her quickly stood in front of her with knives. But looking at the people who were approaching and kicking and punching them, the town soldiers did not dare to take action despite the government order, so they could only think of ways to dodge.

Tolerance blindly results in unscrupulousness. The soldier at the front was hit on the head by a farm tool and fell to the ground. When the people saw the blood, fear gradually disappeared from their eyes.

Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyelashes and narrowed his eyes. He raised his eyes in an instant and snatched away the spear of the nearest soldier beside him. With a cold face, he walked towards the people who were watching eagerly.

A gun pierced the chest of the leader.

The sudden move startled everyone, and when they reacted they immediately shouted, "The county magistrate killed someone! What are we still tolerating here? They are all dog officials."

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly. Another shot penetrated the man's arm directly.

The noise stopped temporarily after seeing the blood.

Glancing at the man lying on the ground covering his arms and struggling, Pei Jiaoran pointed a spear at his throat, "Anyone who continues to talk nonsense to disturb the people's hearts will be killed without mercy." He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Pass an order from this government to kill all those who caused trouble today. Take him to the government prison and await his fate."

The people who were frightened did not dare to do anything. They all dropped their farm tools and looked at her in fear.

Pei Jiaoran pinched his eyebrows, pain flashed in his eyes. Now that the matter has come to this, these people who have been bewitched by others are still the ones who will suffer the ultimate consequences. According to the laws of Wei, everything they did today was treason and they should be killed without hesitation.

Chu You, who came here, led the county soldiers and took them all into custody.

At this time, only the group of Hu merchants were left at the city gate.

Pei Jiaoran turned around and walked towards the group of Hu merchants, with a smile still on his face, but what he said could not be ignored.

"Do you still plan to continue standing here?"

The Hu merchants didn't say anything after hearing this, but judging from their appearance, it was obvious that they refused to leave.

"If that's the case, take them all to the government prison." Pei Jiaoran glanced at the captain beside him, "Wang Lieutenant, send someone to escort them down."

"Here." The captain responded loudly.

At this time, a town soldier suddenly shouted loudly at the city gate, "Mingfu, the governor is back."

When he stopped talking, Pei Jiaoran's expression relaxed. Seeing the town soldiers moving the fence, their eyes turned to the group of Hu merchants, and thoughts gathered in their eyes.
