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

The rain in Jiangnan comes and goes, and sometimes it doesn't stop for several days. Pei Jiaoran originally planned to go to Zhitong Zen Temple on the second day after Shen Yunzhou's visit, but the heavy rain interrupted her trip.

When it rains, it rains again, and Pei Jiaoran is not idle either. Send someone to the state capital to urge Shen Yunzhou to send the accounts to her as soon as possible. Another person was sent to invite the accompanying officials from the Ministry of Works and the Capital Water Supervision Bureau to discuss the details of the river fortification project. The soil quality of the river and possible problems need to be discussed.

However, it rained heavily and the fortification work was put on hold. Lakes and rivers all over Yangzhou have a tendency to surge. Coupled with the Huanqi Rebellion before, the situation in the treasury may not be optimistic. Once a flood occurs, the state government first has to take on the task of relieving the victims, and secondly it has to advance money to open the river.

"We can wait until the rain stops to open the river. You should quickly go to inspect the rivers in the prefectures and counties near Yangzhou, especially the river embankments." Pei Jiaoran

After thinking for a while, he added: "Once there is a problem with the river embankment, immediately move the local people to higher ground for safety."

"I understand," the official from the Du Shui Supervisor said solemnly.

It was already dusk when everything was arranged. After sending someone to see off the accompanying officials, Pei Jiaoran sighed with his hands behind his hands.

"You look worried." Zhou Mancao's voice came from behind.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran sighed, "I intend to limit the Buddha. This heavy rain is not a good sign for me. If someone is using it, it can even serve as a warning from God."

"That……"

"No matter what the outcome of this heavy rain is, we still have to do what needs to be done. I can't give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes, "Shen Yunzhou said that he would be able to sort out the accounts in five days at most. You have to do this. help me."

"clear."

While the two were talking, a servant suddenly came in to report. He said that someone from Runzhou came to see him.

"Let him in."

Not long after, the servant led a young man in.

"The last general, Zheng Song, has met Mr. Pei." The visitor bowed his hands in a polite salute.

"He asked you to come?" Pei Jiaoran gathered his clothes and sat down, staring blankly at Zheng Song in front of him, "You have worked hard along the way. Take a good rest first, and we will set off tomorrow morning."

She had some impression of this person. He seemed to be one of the ten generals of Youshen Ce, not Li Xiujing's personal guard. But since this person can be sent here, he must have been tested.

"Thank you, Mr. Pei."

After watching Zheng Song leave, Pei Jiaoran turned around and said, "Let's go see Sun Shaofeng."

Sun Shaofeng now lives in the same house as Bi Fei. Since Pei Jiaoran learned that her mother was fine, she felt much more relaxed. During the few days he lived there, he taught Bi Fei how to read and calligraphy, and also taught her some southern cooking methods.

When the two came, there was laughter coming from the yard.

"Mr. Pei." Sun Shaofeng stood up and called.

"Someone will escort you back to Huzhou tomorrow. Have you thought about what to do when you return to Huzhou?" Pei Jiaoran raised his hand to stop her salute, "It is fate that you and I met. When your father is finished, you might as well say more Come and sit in Yangzhou. I will probably stay in Yangzhou for a long time."

"If I can seek justice for my father, I would also like to come and sit with Mr. Pei."

Hearing this, Bi Fei clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Anyway, there are only three of us at home in Chang'an, Yangtze River. The girl hasn't seen anyone all day long. Sister Mancao is also a busy person, so the house is strangely deserted. Madam Sun, it would be the best if you could come." "

Pei Jiaoran realized that he was wrong and didn't overdo it. This is not an exaggeration by Bi Fei. When she was in Chang'an, she was indeed like a dragon, busy in the government office or wandering around various offices every day. Several times, while waiting for her to come out of the palace, Bi Fei took a rest early.

Looking at her, Zhou Mancao smiled and said, "If she is willing to give someone a title, wouldn't the family be lively?"

"That's inappropriate." Pei Jiaoran shook his head and took a sip of tea. "Both of us are in high positions. It's not a good thing to be too conspicuous." There was a bit of sarcasm in her eyes. "To be honest, I don't think he necessarily cares about his status. . As for me, as long as my involvement with him is kept within a controllable range, it will be a good thing for me and him. Being a Zhongshu Ling is much more interesting than being an eunuch's wife. If you were in my position, you wouldn't I will think about this."

Sun Shaofeng smiled but did not answer. Zhou Mancao answered, "Didn't you say that if everyone is like you, why would there be a need for you? In fact, I also want to give it a try, but I'm afraid that before I meet you, my life and fortune will be at stake."

After listening to her words, Bi Fei walked closer to Pei Jiaoran and said, "Sister Mancao, you are different from girls. You also have your own advantages. You see, girls are in a good position, but how can they do it if they don't have enough mind and ability? Moreover, you have your own advantages." In this position, we have to learn how to swallow with broken teeth, and how to move forward and retreat freely. We don’t have to imitate the girls, it’s good to be ourselves.”

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips as Bi Fei approached him with sideways eyes. Putting his finger on her forehead, "It's good to make progress. You have to remember that everyone is unique, and you don't have to imitate anyone. And what anyone promises you in this world cannot be counted. Feelings are not for you to entrust." Throughout life, everyone has his or her own vast world.”

Zhou Mancao seemed to have not expected that Pei Jiaoran would express such a straightforward attitude, with a look of astonishment on his face. Looking back at her, he saw a distant smile on her lips.

Frowning his brows, Bi Fei blinked, "What if there is someone who cares about you very much? He regards you as his life."

"You regard me as your life? Haha..." Pei Jiaoran burst into laughter, "This kind of love is the most meaningless. There is only one life. If someone is willing to die for me, I would rather she live for me. Only when you are alive can you avenge the dead. That's why Huan Xuanwu weeps and weeps while Wei Wuji lies dormant for many years to avenge his father."

She has always been very realistic about love. The love you live for and die for seems vigorous, yes. But in reality? It's far worse to live on one side and devote one's life to avenging the dead. As for caring...if this feeling can't be expressed verbally, it will be useless.

From the corner of his eye, he saw tears in Sun Shaofeng's eyes, and Pei Jiaoran stopped talking. Patting her shoulder, "You have a good rest, we have to leave tomorrow morning."

"Ms. Pei, can my father really get justice?"

"I said, you have to let them see public opinion in order to build momentum for you." Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly, "Sometimes public opinion is also a weapon."

This kind of gameplay is public warfare. As long as you play well, you can get unexpected results. Especially the political controversy.

She had no intention of getting involved in this matter, but this matter allowed her to use it as a handle against Shen Yunzhou.

"Mr. Pei's great kindness will be unforgettable." Sun Shaofeng bowed and saluted.

"It's not too late to thank me again after you seek justice."
