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

The rain was falling lively outside the house, and a card game was going on in the old Sui Palace building. Pei Jiaoran leaned by the window and looked at Li Xiujing with a smile.

Half an hour ago, Li Xiujing took her place. Now it's time for the four of them to have a great time fighting with these Jianghuai tycoons.

I saw Lu Rui touching a chip, and the agate-colored rope was particularly gorgeous under the lamp.

"The new way to play from Shu is to work hard." Lu Rui looked at the cards in his hand and teased: "The cards are really hard to remember. Just now General Li said he couldn't do it, but he turned out to be a clumsy person." He paid some more money and went out, "Hey, if you have a clue, don't hide it. Let General Li settle the cards quickly. We are all happy."

Holding the tea handed to her by her maid, Pei Jiaoran began to sip it. Sip tea on the tip of your tongue. After waiting for a moment, he put down the tea cup and walked towards Li Xiujing, standing behind him.

"Tsk...Why does this card look so unpredictable?" Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at everyone with a smile. He saw Li Xiujing's boss Yu Fang beating Zhang Wankuan out, and she kicked Li Xiujing calmly. One kick.

This was the code the two of them had agreed upon before.

As soon as Yu Fang's Wan Guan came out, the rope in Li Xiujing's hand also appeared on the card game.

"Hey, this card actually came back to life. It's not easy." Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at Li Xiujing, "Is it my turn now?"

After hearing this, Li Xiujing generously stood up and gave way.

The three of them were stunned for a moment and made eye contact with each other. Lu Rui had to put the rope back in his hand. He wanted to fight with Suozi a few more times, but neither of them was being unreasonable.

The on-the-spot substitution also made the atmosphere in the room a little depressing. At the moment, the three of them are playing their cards with serious faces.

After playing a few rounds of cards, Zhou Yuheng sighed: "I heard that the county magistrate led troops to stop the obscene sacrifice a few days ago. Now the local people are gathering at the gate of the county government to cause trouble. Ask the county government to release the people, otherwise they will be killed The trouble has reached the state. The autumn harvest is coming soon. The people are making a fuss and the taxes cannot be collected. Can the state government send someone to deal with this matter? Now that Governor Shen is still ill, we don't dare to do it casually. Nao Nao. The only one who can speak in Yangzhou City right now is Mr. Pei. Are you..."

"Eat!" Pei Jiaoran intercepted the card neatly, then raised his head and looked at Zhou Yuheng, "What did Zhou Weng just say?"

The smile on Zhou Yuheng's lips condensed slightly.

At this moment, the maid brought the cakes. A variety of fashionable pastries are placed on Jun Kiln white porcelain plates and placed on a small table beside them.

After twisting a piece of jade dew and taking a bite, Pei Jiaoran continued to take care of the chip in his hand, "Zhou Weng said that people gathered at the gate of the county government to cause trouble? Someone has heard about this, and it was also someone who allowed the county government to send troops. Someone heard it It is said that a group of villains used the name of Zihua God to deliberately target the village doctor. It is not easy for the doctor to save a life, but this group of people want to harm his daughter. Human life is a matter of heaven, how can they be allowed to act recklessly. Moreover Well..." Pei Jiaoran's voice stopped.

Seeing this, everyone held their breath.

After taking a sip of tea, Pei Jiaoran said slowly: "There is news from Chang'an that His Majesty has re-selected the candidate for the military governor of western Zhejiang. If the western Zhejiang is too chaotic, it will not end well in the future."

After Huan Qi was executed, the position of Jiedushi in western Zhejiang remained vacant, and even the position of Runzhou governor was not filled. Suddenly hearing Pei Jiaoran mention this matter, everyone remembered that there was another matter.

Pei Jiaoran rolled his lips as he looked at the changes on several people's faces. Many of the people in the building today are in collusion with Yan Xiao, supporters of the Yin Temple, and Huan Qi. But it doesn't matter. In today's world, everyone is just trying to survive. Anyway, it's not necessary to break up with these people and make a fuss.

The rain outside the building did not let up at all, and the card game inside the building was also full of wind and thunder. As long as these people are sensible, she is willing to give them basic face, but if they have to go against her, then she can only help them face it.

An important member of the third rank of the Jiedu Envoy in Western Zhejiang was in charge of the military and political power of the region, and he was truly prominent. If he were the governor of another place, he might not be so greedy. It's just that they are all southerners. Even if they can't be officials in Kuaiji, they can still go out of the town of Runzhou. The use of Jiedushi in western Zhejiang to make one party powerful makes people jealous.

After a moment of silence, Gu Xun, who came from Pei Jiaoran's house, smiled and said, "Although there are obscene priests in all the states, who doesn't know that Kuaiji is the place where the most violent obscene rituals occur. Pei Xianggong is right, human life is at stake. It’s a matter of God. How can we allow some magicians to do whatever they want? Weng Zhou is too cruel and doesn’t take other people’s lives seriously.”

"Mr. Gu, what do you mean by this?"

"It's nothing. Who doesn't know that the reason for your Zhou family's fortune is, "To pick your hair and skin for the sake of fame, and to receive titles despite doing good things, is not the beauty of a gentleman." The eldest Gu Xun said to Zhang Zimo, "Things like obscenity and sacrifice that harm the country and the people should not exist." Don't worry, Mr. Pei, our Gu family will definitely support you. "

Pei Jiaoran smiled when he heard Gu Xun unceremoniously betrayed the Zhou family. Only the Gu family, the fourth surname in Wu County, dared to do such a thing. But who gives people such confidence? With her thoughts at this point, the smile in her eyes deepened. Once interests are involved, morality and rules have to stand aside. And it is faster and more effective than the aboveboard tactics of war.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xun would suddenly react, and Zhou Yuheng looked a little unhappy. His family is not as powerful as the Gu family, but it is still a wealthy family. The Gu family is really bullying people like this.

Ignoring Zhou Yuheng who looked unhappy, Gu Xun said: "It's a good thing that this man was saved. Mr. Pei, why not ask the Gu family to send someone to talk to the people. Try not to intensify the conflict. After all, taxes still have to be collected. Let the people understand. Difficulties of the imperial court.”

Although the others were surprised by Gu Xun's sudden reaction, they could understand it. After all, the imperial court wanted to appoint a new governor of western Zhejiang.

"Then there will be Lao Gu Lao."

"Then when does Mr. Pei plan to send someone there?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly and said, "That's it for today. We must quickly appease the people and tell them that the court has no ill intentions."

Yu Fang on the side looked at Zhou Yuheng with sympathy. Momo threw the bamboo in his hand away.

"It's a good sign that Bamboo is safe." Pei Jiaoran smiled and looked at everyone, "Mr. Gu is willing to come forward. I am very grateful to this junior. But isn't it enough to have the Gu family alone for this matter?"

While he was talking, the cards were playing again. It just so happened that it was Gu Xun's turn to play his cards again and he put the orchid chip in his hand on the table. He handed over to Pei Jiaoran again, "The Gu family also eats the emperor's salary, but they don't dare to take the credit for themselves. Someone will find a way to make everyone agree with the court so that the decree can be implemented as soon as possible."

"Yu Gong's card is really a good sign. I can rest assured to draw the card." Pei Jiaoran smiled and put the chips away, with a soft tone, "Plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums are all gentlemen, and the four seasons are always looking forward to spring. Why not worry about the coming year? There are no wise men left in the wild, and all nations are in Xianning.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun and Lu Rui looked at each other. However, Pei Jiaoran stood up at this moment.

No one got a favor in the game, and in the end, only Gu Xun got a job that was not a good one.

Yu Fang thought for a while and said, "Mr. Pei, won't you play anymore?"

Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked out the window, then turned to look at the group of people, "Just give up when you see something good, so that you can go far. Sometimes, being too greedy is not a good thing."
