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

The days of being locked up in the Yushi Prison were really boring. But fortunately, the favors from the past are still there, and I can exert a little more power. The books and tea cups that Pei Jiaoran needed were brought in. Fortunately, her request was not too much, so Shi Yushi turned a blind eye to it.

Just a few days ago, the news of Pei Jiaoran's detention caused an uproar throughout Chang'an. Even Jianghuai and even the Heshuo area could not calm down, and even became more impatient. Inquire about the situation.

Especially for Heshuo. Pei Jiaoran was the middleman between the imperial court and Heshuo. The more the court paid attention to Pei Jiaoran, the more it showed that Heshuo's status was extraordinary. On the contrary, it means that Heshuo is still regarded as a serious problem.

Throughout the three towns of Heshuo, many scholars have requested the prefectures and counties to submit a letter to the court through various channels, hoping that the Yushitai can strictly investigate the whole case. The governors from all over the Jianghuai region also wrote letters complaining that the Salt Institute was particularly oppressive to them, and that many people who were enriching their own pockets were harming the local salt administration. The three towns of Heshuo refused to worship.

The entire Jianghuai and Heshuo areas were expressing their dissatisfaction with Jia Gonglu and the privy envoys.

The attitudes of the two places, apart from Heshuo's intention to demonstrate, were actually reminding Emperor Wei that he could do what he wanted. As a result, Emperor Wei had to take action to remove the cancer from his body. To avoid being killed by this cancer.

As the case gradually deepened, the Yushitai received more and more reports about Duguchen, and the truth about his refusal to send troops when Guazhou claimed that the Tubo siege gradually emerged. Emperor Wei was surprised to find that Pei Jiaoran asked himself to be imprisoned, and the court actually knew many truths that were previously unknown to the public. And they are all things that he cannot tolerate.

Subsequently, the court also began interrogating Duguchen.

When he learned the news, Pei Jiaoran was eating the meal brought by Li Xiujing.

After eating the three games of Jade Break, Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing and said, "You'd better be prepared, they may want to ask you for questioning."

"It doesn't matter, I've already prepared it. If I can pull Dugu Chen down this time, I can comfort the spirit of the victim in heaven. I can finally avenge you for the humiliation you suffered in the past." Li Xiujing's voice was gentle.

"Hurtured?" Pei Jiaoran sneered and laughed. His eyes moved to Li Xiujing, "Being able to lie dormant and wait is also a skill."

His fingers fell on the lapel of Li Xiujing's clothes, and Pei Jiaoran stroked the lines on his clothes.

"In the past, I was just a small county magistrate of Guazhou, and you, Xuanyin, were my immediate boss. Now you are the general of Shence, and I am the minister of Zhongshu. I don't know how long this relationship between you and me can last. .”

Holding her hand and placing it against his heart, Li Xiujing's eyes were full of smiles, "At least in this life."

His eyes were so hot that Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but close his eyes. She straightened up, crossed the desk and kissed him on the lips.

There are more and more letters of indictment, and the interrogations of Dugu Chen are becoming more and more frequent. Subsequently, the court elevated the case to a joint trial of three divisions. After repeated interrogations, Dugu Chen finally confessed. The court also made the results of the trial public as soon as possible. He was framed for fear of retaliation.

As soon as this conclusion came out, the whole court was in an uproar. Some people recall that Dugu Chen followed Zhang Rang's path back then, and he himself was from the Shence Army. However, Pei Jiaoran's petition to remove the salt from the palace was to move the interests of the chamberlain. The two lines are clear, which undoubtedly confirms that Pei Jiaoran has been splashed with dirty water.

At this time, in Jia's mansion, Jia Gonglu screened away all the guests. Only a few confidants were left. He was reading a secret letter sent directly from the palace. The letter stated that Luoyang Mu had ordered people to escort Pei Jiaoran's assassin to Chang'an, and Dugu Chen also admitted that everything was a deliberate false accusation.

"Confused! How did Zhang Rang think of assassinating Pei Jiaoran." Jia Gonglu took a deep breath, "And Dugu Chen, for such a big thing as refusing to send troops, he didn't even inform him in advance. Moreover, Pei Jiaoran asked himself to be imprisoned to accept the punishment, which is basically... Deliberately. Now that she is more unjust, the group of scholars will work together to seduce Dugu Chen and reveal more things, causing Zhang Rang to be imprisoned. Even though she is still in Yushi Prison, she is already innocent. . What’s more, there are people like Cen Xi and Cui Shao around her.”

Even though the two are far inferior to themselves in terms of control over the political situation, the former's clear hope and the latter's strong rural capital constitute their respective political capital. Now that Pei Jiaoran can join the game, he even brings Zhang Rang in. Even if it cannot be completely defeated, it can still be severely damaged. Under public opinion, Zhang Rang had to sacrifice something.

The gray-clothed scribe said: "Since there is no way to avoid it now, it is better to let Dugu Chen bear all the charges. At least Zhang Jujuan can be saved."

Jia Gonglu shook his head. Zhang Rang has never been her current goal, and she also knows that she will not be able to win him for a while. Deliberately entering the Yushi Prison was just to paralyze people and prevent them from knowing what her true purpose was. As soon as someone starts to report Dugu Chen, the evidence accumulated in the past will emerge one by one. And she will use these charges to defeat Dugu Chen. Similarly, once he pleads guilty, it will have an impact on both him and Zhang Rang. That's what she wanted.

It was like a tear in the body. Even if it is not fatal in a short period of time, over time, it will become a fatal wound.

This kind of political game is definitely not something that can be reflected in conspiracy. Conspiracy is like dominoes placed on the table. If you push one domino, the other dominoes will fall one after another. But if one domino fails, the whole game is lost. The real strategy is often the final word, rather than conspiracy. Because the situation of one link within another also means that there may be variables. The greater the uncertainty, the higher the chance of failure. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had planned the Battle of Mayi for many years, involving hundreds of thousands of people on both sides. It's a pity that in the end, only because of a flaw, the success fell short.

Such consequences were extremely bad for the Han Dynasty. They had to stop and take another chance.

Pei Jiaoran's plan this time and Wang Jinglue's golden sword strategy to deal with Murong Chui are both scheming. In short, it is to use the information and strength possessed by others outside the power to unilaterally crush Zhang Rang, Dugu Chen and others who think they are strong but are actually weak.

"At this time, we can only let Dugu Chen bear all the charges. Otherwise, the involvement will be too wide and the outcome will not be easy." Jia Gonglu closed his eyes and sighed, "Go and let Zhang Rang be informed, and let her play for the time being. Don't let the two sides get involved. The fight was too harsh."

"Here."

All the confidants retreated. Jia Gonglu sat down on the chair, looking a little tired. The opponent's composure forced him to re-examine this opponent.

She did not get carried away as soon as she made a profit, but carefully planned her next step. He even began to have some doubts. Was the account book that Pei Jiaoran burned in front of him that year a real account book?
