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

Although the village where Dr. He lives is not far from Zihua Temple, many villagers believe in Zihua God. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the villagers, Doctor He did not take the two people into the village. He took the two of them to an abandoned house next to the village.

Looking at Doctor He's back, Pei Jiaoran turned to Li Xiujing and said, "That's right. He didn't cry."

"It's not easy to grab a life-saving straw, how could we miss it just now." Li Xiujing held Pei Jiaoran's hand, "Why did you change your mind?"

"Because it's not a good time to alert the enemy at this time. Jian Yue only knows a little bit about it. If you want to know the truth, you still have to ask someone in the game."

While the two were talking, Doctor He stopped and turned around. He pointed at a dilapidated house behind him.

"I feel wronged and I am here." Dr. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked tentatively: "Can you two really help me save my daughter?"

"To be honest, we are both disciples of Shen Cishi's house. Shen Cishi heard that obscene sacrifices were causing harm to the village, so he intended to cut them off. But he himself is a powerful man in Wuxing and has inextricable ties with those powerful people in Jiangnan. For the time being, I don't want to break up with them." He raised his eyes and looked at Dr. He, and saw a hint of trust in him. Pei Jiaoran continued: "Then I and I were sent here to investigate the situation. I can help you in the future."

Li Xiujing curled her lips while listening to Pei Jiaoran's serious nonsense. Using Shen Yunzhou's name to make excuses was a lucky thing for her to come up with this idea. If Doctor He was just putting on a show, the fire would surely burn on Shen Yunzhou's head.

By then his illness will most likely be cured without treatment.

"The state government is actually willing to intervene in this matter?" Dr. He asked with wide eyes and doubts.

"The imperial minister is in Yangzhou right now. Shen Jishi will take the exam next year, which is a good opportunity for him. Moreover, Shen Jishi has been tired of prostitution for a long time, but he has never found a suitable opportunity. Now of course it is Quite caring.”

After hearing this, Doctor He nodded quickly, "If the state government had taken the lead in opposing obscene sacrifices, how could those people be so rampant! My daughter would not..."

"Tell us everything you know. Let's go back and meet Governor Shen so that we can save your daughter." Pei Jiaoran spoke softly.

After all, it was the supporters of the obscenity temple who were driven to panic. Doctor He looked around and asked his wife and mother to guard outside the house. He turned around and saluted Pei Jiaoran, and talked about Zihua God's situation here and some little-known practices.

Pei Jiaoran frowned, "You mean they will send your daughter to worship God Zihua in five days?"

"Yes. The birthday of Zihua God will be in five days. This custom also started five years ago. Before the sacrifices were held, there were always people in the village who were sick and couldn't get better no matter how much they took medicine. I don't know who told me to go to Xuanzhou to pray for help. God Zihua's divine water can cure diseases." As if remembering something, Doctor He sneered, "This person is cured, and the others will follow suit. Later, in order to thank God Zihua for his gift, the village will Choose a girl under the age of fifteen to serve the God Zihua at the Zihua Temple in Xuanzhou."

Pei Jiaoran was speechless after hearing this. Five years ago it happened to be the time when the holy spring came out of Xuanzhou. She didn't know whether the spring water had any effect. If it is effective, I am afraid that everyone in this village will be immortal. It can be seen that someone is deceiving and abducting people in the name of the holy spring curing all kinds of diseases.

"People have been sacrificing their daughters in the past five years? When you get sick, you don't seek medical treatment. Instead, you believe in these demons who are not worshiping. Doctor He, won't they come to see you for medical treatment?" Pei Jiaoran suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Minor illnesses can be cured. But some illnesses can only be cured by Zihua Holy Spring. As time goes by, they don't come to me often." Doctor He sighed, "I also tried to persuade them, but they didn't listen. Alas, if I had known this, I will try my best to persuade them."

Without answering, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and quietly looked at the shadow cast by the moonlight in the room. The prevalence of obscene sacrifices is not only supported by powerful families, but also related to the ignorance of the people themselves.

"Thank you, Doctor He. Please rest assured that we will convey everything you said to Governor Shen. It's late at night and I'll say goodbye."

Saying goodbye to Doctor He, the two of them walked in the fields under the moonlight.

"All the sects of the Six Dynasties were for private purposes." Li Xiujing looked at Pei Jiaoran with shining eyes, "Historical books often say that the Wu people like to govern themselves. The Jianghuai wealthy families are all intertwined, each with their own so-called character, and it will never be able to collapse overnight. God. Cejun is now in Runzhou, and they are quite content. As long as the imperial court does not overly encroach on their interests, they are willing to be content. But if they are allowed to fight first, it is another matter. "

The gold powder of the Six Dynasties only became a private plan. Once many decrees are implemented, the interests of powerful local families will inevitably be violated. Those powerful people will also try their best to compete with the imperial court for their interests. But as long as the original balance is broken and the interests are re-divided, these people will naturally fight to death for their own interests.

Pei Jiaoran smiled. Personnel is politics, good personnel promotion and promotion will get more generous rewards. Heshuo is accustomed to autonomy because they have strong soldiers. Jianghuai's autonomy lies in the stubbornness of its local forces. If she wanted to change the situation, she had to overturn the card table. But lifting the card table is a thankless job, and it is also a dirty job.

"With the fall of Huan Qi, the position of the Jiedushi of Western Zhejiang has been vacated. Guess how many people are eyeing this position."

"He is in charge of military and political power, and it is a rich place like Jianghuai. Not to mention Jianghuai, I am afraid that there are people in the court who are also jealous of this place." Li Xiujing smiled, "It looks like a tight group, but in fact it is just a loose sand. If you drop the bait, there will be nothing. It’s moral.”

Yes, once interests are involved, there is no morality at all. As long as you do something that offends others, the butcher's knife from your former allies will immediately fall on you.

"It's not a hurry to make this move. I'm still curious about how long Shen Yunzhou can endure it." Pei Jiaoran said, "If he plans to follow Sima Zhongda's illness and be ill for three to five years. I would like to think highly of him. One glance.”

Li Xiujing smiled and said, "Let's go visit the patient. We can only make the next move if we know how sick he is."

"Why are you visiting someone late at night? It's not like there is no one like him in the post house. He probably already knows about you and me leaving the city." Pei Jiaoran raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Let him toss and turn first."

Compared to directly cutting someone with a knife, hanging a sword over a person's head and making him sleepless and eating is more shocking.

"You little fox are really bad." Li Xiujing couldn't help laughing.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and said, "If I were bad, I would seize his power myself. I would not give him a chance to recover. Let's go back to the ruined temple before. I don't want to sleep in the wilderness yet."

I don’t know what god is worshiped in that ruined temple. The dilapidated camera could no longer clearly see the outline of his face, but looking down, he looked like a Taoist god.

Li Xiujing took the fire breakers from his bag and lit the dead branches he picked up. The bright firelight instantly illuminated the ruined temple.

The murals painted on the walls of the ruined temple are also in front of you. Although the paint on it is already mottled, you can still get a glimpse of its appearance.

As she thought, this temple was dedicated to the Three Pure Ones. It's a pity that it has been abandoned for a long time.

He cleared a piece of land and sat down cross-legged. Pei Jiaoran's right hand rests on

On your knees, support your chin. He looked at Li Xiujing who was taking off his arm guards with great interest.

"Why are you looking at me so fascinated?" Li Xiujing asked.

When asked, Pei Jiaoran looked calm and said, "I was wondering if I would take you to a clothing store to pick out some clothes."

"Huh? What are you going to do?"

"Guess." Pei Jiaoran blinked, "I'm tired. Please help yourself."
