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

"Pei Mingfu, sit down and chat?" Yuan Yushi pointed to the seat next to him and said with a smile.

Looking sideways at Yuan Yushi in front of him, Pei Jiaoran followed his instructions and walked to sit next to him, "What does Yuan Yushi want to ask?"

"Several husbands are very dissatisfied with your behavior." Yuan Yushi looked at Pei Jiaoran with confusion in his words, "Why do you want to be so close to Li Xiujing? He has a different position from us."

"Yuan Yanchong." Pei Jiaoran called him by his name coldly, "You must care about other people's positions? Is his position important?"

"Of course. It's easy for someone without a position to defect. What's more, he is still the governor under Dugu Chen. Can you guarantee that he will not switch to Jia Gonglu in the future?"

Sensing the distrust and contempt for Li Xiujing in Yuan Yanchong's words, Pei Jiaoran's eyes showed sarcasm. She did not answer Yuan Yanchong's question.

In the eyes of these people, position is far more important than anything else. Because they believe that they must have a position in the field of power. Only when we have a stand can we share the same hatred with the enemy, otherwise we will be like scattered sand.

However, the so-called stance is nothing more than common interests. If someone deviates from one party's position or has no position at all, he will face the risk of being abandoned by the government.

One person cannot form interests, only groups can have interests.

Glancing at Pei Jiaoran, Yuan Yanchong frowned. In the eyes of outsiders, Pei Jiaoran was a new member of the eunuch family and the favorite disciple of Duke Chang Li. He was neither humble nor overbearing nor flattering in his behavior. But Duke Changli told him privately that although she was not in a high family, her family style was very good. It is a good seedling, they can rest assured.

The tea on the stove is boiling with aroma.

"Pei Jiaoran, you killed Zhao Heng. They have no objection, but why didn't you inform us of such a big thing in advance? Regarding Li Qian, you were too hasty. And..."

Pei Jiaoran's eyes suddenly turned cold as he listened to Yuan Yanchong's list of things she had done that dissatisfied the center. He smiled very unnecessarily.

"So? What does the center plan to do with me?" Pei Jiaoran asked with a smile.

She looked calm, and her eyes were sharp enough to see through everything. She knew Yushitai's methods, and she also knew that Yushitai believed that no matter whether you were wrong or not, as long as they said you were wrong, you were wrong.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran's appearance, Yuan Yanchong couldn't help but frown. Everyone said that the censor was worried about ghosts, but he said that Pei Jiaoran was the most terrifying.

Even if other people in the center are dissatisfied with her behavior, they still have to give Chang Li face. Don't be too embarrassed, let her successfully pass the exam and return to Chang'an next year.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Yan spoke up——

"When did you find out about Li Qian?"

"One month ago."

"But the evidence you reported lasted for several years. You simply neglected your duties and failed to supervise effectively."

"He is cautious and cautious, and his greed has grown from a young age to a large one. It was not until this year that he showed his flaws." Pei Jiaoran smiled, "He has been a county captain for six years. Didn't the Yushitai not find any crimes against him during the previous inspection? "

With a single word, the disaster was brought to the censor's desk.

Yuan Yanchong's mouth twitched. He wished he could teach Pei Jiaoran a lesson, so that she would not know how high the world is.

"Then if you file a complaint now, it is still tantamount to dereliction of duty. The county magistrate and his subordinates should supervise each other. If the subordinates are guilty, the superior officer will also judge the crime."

"I knew I had neglected my duty, so I immediately reported it and submitted a letter of guilt upon discovery. According to the law, the maximum penalty is one year's salary."

"But you didn't pursue anyone else. Someone suspected that you were covering up." Yuan Yanchong said in a deep voice.

"Is there any evidence for the censor's claim that I am covering up? I have already punished the subordinate officials who have anything to do with Li Qian."

"What do you mean by punishment?"

"Encourage self-examination. Those who self-examine will be rewarded and punished. This is the way to control your subordinates."

Pei Jiaoran's answer was flawless and even well-founded.

Yuan Yanchong kept staring at Pei Jiaoran, no matter how he asked. There was no change in her eyes, not even the slightest hint of fear. When ordinary officials see the censor, they are frightened.

Among the many officials he had seen, only those senior officials in purple robes had such a calm demeanor.

"What kind of punishment is this? Officials are guilty and should be convicted according to our laws of the Wei Dynasty. How can I allow you to speak lightly?"

"It's time for the county to hire people. And since the Tibetan invaders are coming, they will have to help with many things."

"This is no reason for you to ignore the law."

"If Guazhou falls, I will be furious today. Neither you nor I can bear this responsibility."

Yuan Yanchong was choked by her and froze on the spot.

At this moment, Pei Jiaoran felt that his head was getting more and more dizzy, and his body was also aching. She really didn't want to talk nonsense with Yuan Yanchong. When she was at Yushitai in her previous life, she thought he was a bit stupid, and now she even felt that his brain was not flexible enough.

Resisting the urge to drag Yuan Yan and beat him up, Pei Jiaoran silently pinched his palms to refresh himself.

"Does the censor have anything else to ask?" Pei Jiaoran said with a warm smile.

Yuan Yanchong frowned and didn't answer. What else could he ask? No matter what he asked, Pei Jiaoran would answer him with reason. But several other husbands in the center also said that they would teach Pei Jiaoran a lesson this time.

"You have been in office for three years. It was only at the end of last year that you discovered that Li Qian had received stolen goods. According to the law, it was an oversight. You will be fined one year's salary and thirty floggings." Yuan Yanchong said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded happily.

She knew that the other old guys in the political hall would not let her be a rebellious person.

After looking at her, Yuan Yan said: "Then Mingfu, please follow me to the state prison."

Pei Jiaoran was about to get up when he suddenly felt like the world was spinning. Before he could hold on to the chair, he fell backwards.

Startled by the loud noise, Yuan Yanchong was about to lean over to check the situation. But he heard the sound of the door being kicked open, and Li Xiujing rushed in in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the number one champion, Yan rushed to stop Li Xiujing with his arms crossed.

Before he could speak, Li Xiujing's horizontal sword was pointed at Yuan Yanchong.

"Li Xuanyin, you are crazy!"

"What did you do to her? She worked hard for Jinchang. Is this how your Yushitai treats diligent officials?" Li Xiujing said angrily, "Do you still have any conscience?"

"I didn't do anything, she fainted on her own." Glancing at the blade, Yuan Yan rushed back.

"You will only be fined for one year. If you dare to say one more word in the political hall, I will write to Duke Changli immediately. Then I will file a report to the Minister of Finance and accuse you of frame-up." Li Xiujing raised his hand and pointed the blade directly at his throat.

"Li Xuanyin, believe it or not, I impeached you for threatening the censor."

"You can give it a try." Li Xiujing looked domineering, "Stop talking nonsense, do you agree or not? And get out of my way quickly, I want to take her away."

Staring at Li Xiujing, Yuan Yanchong said nothing. Although he had known Li Xiujing for many years, this was the first time he had seen him protecting someone like this.

The cold light shone on the knife, and Li Xiujing's eyes were also terrifyingly cold.

After a long confrontation, Yuan Yanchong silently stepped aside. When he, a civil servant, compared with Li Xiujing, not to mention his strength, he already lost a lot in terms of momentum.

Seeing Yuan Yan rush to get out of the way, Li Xiujing put away the horizontal sword. He walked straight over and leaned over to check on Pei Jiaoran. After sniffing, he reached out and touched her forehead.

My head felt hot. He hurriedly picked up the person, walked to the bed on one side, and put the person down.
