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

She was the only two people left in the room, and Yuan Yanchong was not worried that anyone would listen. Under Pei Jiaoran's understanding gaze, he nodded.

"And Dugu Chen." Yuan Yanchong looked at her and said in a calm tone: "You should know what's going on with the center right now. Jia Gonglu and Dugu Chen are connected, which puts a lot of constraints on us. According to the people we placed beside him, The eyeliner said that Dugu Chen often interacts with him and often gives him gifts."

Pei Jiaoran frowned after listening to Yuan Yanchong's words. She remembered that after she and Li Xiujing conspired to burn down the baggage warehouse, Dugu Chen couldn't wait to return to Liangzhou after learning the news.

At that time, she felt that the things in the baggage treasury were of great significance to Dugu Chen and were favored by Jia Gonglu. Yuan Yanchong's words today confirmed her suspicion.

Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes and smiled, "I have no right to investigate the commander. Since you were ordered to leave Chang'an, why can't you investigate him? At most, I can help you from the side."

"The center doesn't want you to investigate for the time being, but I just hope you can keep an eye on Dugu Chen. You also have a grudge against him, right?" Although Yuan Yan was unhappy with her previous words, his tone remained calm.

When Pei Jiaoran was about to take a sip of tea, she suddenly heard Yuan Yan's aggressive words. The smile on his face suddenly faded, and he raised his head in an instant. He put down the tea cup and smiled nonchalantly when Yuan Yanchong looked at him.

Even if she had a grudge against Dugu Chen, it wasn't enough to drive her to do things for them.

"You are a beloved disciple of Duke Changli, and everyone values ​​you very much. This is your last year in Guazhou, right?" Yuan Yanchang slowed down his tone and said gently: "When you top the exam next year, you will not be the provincial official. It's up to you to choose. If you continue to disobey, it will be of no benefit to your career."

He looked at Pei Jiaoran with a complicated expression.

I have to say that Pei Jiaoran is very lucky. Although he was not from a noble family, he was favored by Duke Changli. This good fortune was enough to make others look at him. Although she is only the seventh-grade county magistrate now, in the eyes of many people in the political affairs hall, she will be the successor to Duke Changli when he becomes official.

The smile in Pei Jiaoran's eyes disappeared in an instant. The words Yuan Yanchong brought to her from the old men at the Political Affairs Hall were all threats.

There are tens of thousands of officials in the DPRK, but not many can wear purple and scarlet robes. But once he becomes an official and becomes a liuchei official wearing light blue official uniform, no one would not want to change the color of his uniform. The same is true for Pei Jiaoran.

In her previous life, she followed the arrangements of Wuchang Li and those who shared the same stance. Despite the results of the high school exams, I still changed out of my light green robe and entered Taiwan Province. Afterwards, he went straight up to the sky, stepped into the gate of Zhengshitang, and fought against Jia Gonglu and others.

If she disobeys those people again and again in this life and does not follow the path they have paved for her. With the cold-bloodedness of those people, she would probably suffer a lot in the exams at the end of the year. They would even give her an inferior test result and end her career.

Anyway, if this chess piece is useless, new chess pieces will be thrown into them one after another driven by desire.

No one can resist the temptation of power.

Pei Jiaoran sighed as he rolled his eyelashes. She has already offended Jia Gonglu, if she offends those people again. Even if he is lucky enough to return to Chang'an, his official career will not be smooth. Even worse than Li Xiujing in his previous life.

"What do they want me to do?"

"Keep an eye on Dugu Chen. Dugu Chen's birthday is in a few months. You'd better find evidence of correspondence between him and Jia Gonglu."

Pei Jiaoran nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

The censor's time for inspection was limited, and Yuan Yanchong could not stay in Hexi. And the longer he stayed, the more Jia Gonglu would become suspicious of what they had discovered. Then it will be more difficult for them to fight back.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran's cold expression, Yuan Yan rushed and said: "Qingjia, don't be like this. As long as Jia Gonglu becomes more powerful, it will not be good for us. If we overthrow him as soon as possible, why worry about being unable to clear up the government and the opposition."

"I know." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

But can it really clear up the government and the opposition? The so-called impartiality and selflessness, serving the country and the people, is nothing more than eradicating dissidents and replacing them with a group of people who belong to oneself. Then the winner continued to control the situation in the court and continued his power.

Just as he was talking, Cui Xiancheng's voice came from outside the door.

The two looked at each other and sat down. At the same time, Cui Xiancheng was called in, along with Li Qian who was being escorted by the jailer.

Li Qian's hands and feet were shackled.

When he saw Pei Jiaoran, Li Qian's eyes showed anger. If she hadn't been guarded by two jailers, she would have rushed forward and struggled with her.

Lowering his head and silently drinking the remaining tea in the cup, Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Qian with a warm smile on his face.

"Mingfu, Censor. The criminal officer Li Qian has been brought here." Chu You bowed and reported.

Hearing this, Yuan Yanchong put down the book in his hand, looked at Li Qian with a withered face, and frowned slightly. It was obvious that Li Qian had been tortured in the county jail and had his mental powers tortured. The person who did it was Pei Jiaoran, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry when he saw Pei Jiaoran.

"Mingfu, all the records you requested have been brought over." Cui Xian Cheng looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Are you going to show it to the censor now?"

"Wait a minute. Pei Mingfu will stay, and everyone else can go about their business." Yuan Yanchong said in a deep voice.

Although Yuan Yanchong kept her here for the hearing, Pei Jiaoran still consciously avoided the public room on one side. The Yushitai has the rules of the Yushitai. As the supervisor and accuser, she must recuse herself when the Yushi interrogates the person being accused.

Anyway, Li Qian's outcome is already in her control, so Pei Jiaoran doesn't care how Yuan Yanchong will judge him.

He got up and took a copy of "Yue Jueshu" from the shelf nearby to read. After watching for a while, Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but yawned.

She walked slowly to the door and opened a crack. Listen carefully to the confrontation between Li Qian and Yuan Yanchong.

At present, the two are actually evenly matched.

Li Qian even refuted Yuan Yanchong until he was speechless on certain issues.

Seeing this, Pei Jiaoran chuckled, "How can those cold and cold Yushitai tolerate this idiot Yuan Yanchong?"

"If you speak ill of the censor behind your back, be careful of getting struck by lightning."

When the familiar voice reached his ears, Pei Jiaoran turned his head. Li Xiujing was seen standing at the window, looking at her with a half-smile. Then he put his hand on the window, took a step forward with his long legs, and rolled in lightly.

"Why don't you leave if the governor has a chance?" Pei Jiaoran sneered.

"The Censor is asking questions, and those who are not interested will stay away for the time being." Li Xiujing walked to her side with a gentle step and looked at Yuan Yanchong through the crack in the door, "He is not as sharp-tongued as you. However, he is very similar to the cold and cold people on the Censorship Station. Vitriolic.”

Glancing at Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran moved aside.

The two of them squatted behind the door attentively and listened to the censor's questions, whispering to each other from time to time.

"Li Qian is also very eloquent." Pei Jiaoran said with emotion.

"He is not as good as you. You silenced Yuan Yanchong, and what he did was just sophistry." Li Xiujing raised her lips, "Death is imminent, and he still wants to bite you."

"Everyone has a desire to survive."

So she can also understand Li Qian's behavior. After all, if you don't care for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.

"It seems like he won't survive under the censor's hands."

Pei Jiaoran smiled, "It's just his bad luck that I caught him."

The two were talking happily when the door in front of them was suddenly pushed open. Hearing the sound, the two people hurriedly stepped back. Before they could stand still, they heard a confused voice coming from above their heads.

"What are you doing?"

It's Yuan Yanchong.
