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

But Jianghuai and Jinan are two different situations. In addition to the shaman gods passed down from Jingchu, the prostitution temples in Jianghuai also include people who spontaneously built temples to worship outstanding figures such as Xiang Yu. Temples were built without any records in the sacrificial rituals, and temples were built for people without merit and moral integrity. Therefore, if the method is too tough, it will be counterproductive.

She planned the banquet yesterday because she wanted to see the attitude of these people. From Pei Jiaoran's point of view, no government order in this world has ever been perfect, and it cannot be judged purely on the basis of good or bad. Depending on the current situation, the pros and cons brought about by the decree will also change accordingly. All future generations can do is to draw on the advantages of previous decrees and introduce decrees that are more suitable for the current situation.

"So you agreed that Du Neng would go everywhere to spread the Dharma." Fang Jianyue said with a smile.

Folk obscenities are mostly used by witches and wizards to deceive and confuse the people. And Buddhism is orthodox, and its principles and principles are by no means comparable to those of obscene temples.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran also smiled and said, "Buddha is compassionate and likes to transform all living beings. This kind of thing is the most suitable for them to do. Not transferring energy is just the first step. My method cannot fall entirely on him."

"There are many prostitution temples, turning the rich into poor people and the poor into ghosts. In the end, only the supporters behind them benefit." Li Xiujing turned to look at Pei Jiaoran, "But they are also locks, which can prevent them from causing trouble. After all, it is true If we make a fuss, no one will get any benefit.”

As the words fell upon his ears, Pei Jiaoran's smile deepened.

"Mr. Pei, the state sent someone to deliver a message. It was said that Governor Shen fell off his horse yesterday on his way home." The voice of a servant at the door interrupted the conversation of several people.

"Come in and talk."

The servant entered and saluted several people and said, "Although I'm awake now, I can't go to the ground yet. The doctor told me to rest for a while."

"Who is coming?" Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and asked.

"State Sima."

"Go and tell him something. Let Governor Shen recuperate at home, but you can't slack off on the affairs of the state. Someone needs to keep an eye on the river fortifications, and come to me on time to report the progress." Pei Jiaoran paused, looked up at the door, "Other states If you encounter something that cannot be solved, you can come to me. I will handle it impartially."

"Here."

The footsteps faded away, and Pei Jiaoran sneered.

"Did he do this on purpose?" Li Xiujing frowned.

Pei Jiaoran raised his voice, "In the past, Sima Yi once deceived Wei Wu by pretending to be ill, and then deceived Cao Shuang. If Shen Yunzhou had the ability of Sima Yi, I would respect him as a talent. If this person can't hold the position, everyone in the political affairs hall will have it. Pass."

"That's it. It's a lie that he can't go to the ground, but it's true to avoid disaster. As long as the fire doesn't burn him, he won't be squeezed out by others." Fang Jianyue sighed, "What about your obscene temple? It’s a difficult step.”

"Let him lie down first." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Li Xiujing and said calmly.

"Since Inspector Shen is not here, there are still important matters to be dealt with in the county. I will take my leave first."

After asking Zhou Mancao to leave, Pei Jiaoran turned around and said, "It's rare that I'm free today. Let's go for a walk."

"Wouldn't it be better for you to take over Yangzhou Prefecture when you take the opportunity?" Li Xiujing asked.

Pei Jiaoran sighed, "It's not yet time. Let him lie down for a few days. I don't think he has that much endurance."

In order to hide from others, Pei Jiaoran wore a curtain hat when going out. Riding together with Li Xiujing, her back was naturally close to his body, and with the curtain and hat as a barrier, the other party could not touch her temples. But his arms were tightly attached to her waist.

The clothes were light and thin and could not block the hot body temperature from passing through them.

Li Xiujing touched it lightly, and Pei Jiaoran pulled his hand on the reins, "There is no one like you. Why not try holding the horse's neck."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran glanced at the horse's neck and curled his lips, "Isn't it always like this in the past? Why can't it work today?"

Putting his hand on the soft flesh of her waist, Li Xiujing smiled on her lips, "I want you to try to trust me a little more."

The horse galloped out, and Pei Jiaoran's hands involuntarily moved from the horse's neck to the reins. Although she had been ridden with Li Xiujing several times, she was still unable to rely on others to hold the reins. When it comes to your own existence, you still have to take control of it.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Li Xiujing lowered his head and said, "Try again."

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips and put his hand on the horse's neck. However, not long after he ran out, his hands still moved to the reins involuntarily, and he competed with the opponent for control of the horse.

Seeing this, Li Xiujing secretly tightened the reins in an attempt to appease the other party's restlessness.

"It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that some things can be controlled by others, but some things cannot." Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked forward, speaking softly, "But I will also try to change some of my past habits."

As he spoke, Li Xiujing felt the reins loosen, and then Pei Jiaoran's back pressed against his body.

"Jiajia, where are we going?" Li Xiujing asked in a deep voice.

Pei Jiaoran's eyes drooped, "The village outside the city. Go and see what the temple is like."

The two rode out of the city.

It has entered autumn, and the scenery outside Yangzhou City is somewhat desolate. Thin autumn clouds hang in the sky, and under the dim light that moves with the drifting clouds, you can see the figures of people busy in the fields.

The two got off their horses and led their horses for a stroll on the ridge of the field.

"The autumn harvest will be in half a month. I don't know how much tax Jianghuai can collect this year." Li Xiujing said.

"As soon as the autumn harvest is over, taxes have to be calculated, and the household department will be busy again. It's a pity that the newly dug river will not be navigable until next year." Pei Jiaoran easily broke off half of the dead grass from the roadside and played with it between his fingers. The dead grass fluttered in the wind. Trembling, "I don't know how Lingjia is doing in Hube."

"You have been in the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than a year. Everything that needs to be taken care of has been taken care of. There are still Cen Xi and others in the court. With the intelligence of Minister Wu, she will not have a hard time." After a pause, Li Xiujing continued Said: "Do you have any news from Chang'an?"

Pei Jiaoran touched his lips when he heard about it.

She has been away from Chang'an for more than three months, and most of her information about Chang'an comes from Di Bao and Cen Xi's letters. Judging from the recently delivered Di newspaper, Zhang Rang and Jia Gonglu are quite contented at the moment.

The only thing worth noting is that Cen Xi said in his letter that when the Chief of the Wu Palace was visiting friends in Zhongnan Mountain, he accidentally found a white deer, which has now been presented to the emperor. Emperor Wei was overjoyed, and the king of Wu granted another five hundred households.

"It was written in the newspaper that the situation was calm. But Cen Xi told me in the letter that Prince Wu's palace had presented a gift and now five hundred households have been sealed off." Pei Jiaoran fiddled with the dead grass in his hand and suddenly let go. Letting the wind blow away the half of the withered grass, he said in a leisurely tone, "I think that by the time we go back, the storm in Chang'an has come, and the big waves are coming."

Looking at Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing smiled. For others, it is a stormy sea, but for her, it may be an opportunity.
