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

After the three met that day, they never saw each other again. Yuan Yanchong performed his duties as censor seriously and checked all the prison lawsuits, military affairs, sacrifices and camp operations in the county over the years. He even wandered around the city with his officials and assistants in uniform, asking the people about their livelihood in recent years.

Pei Jiaoran and Du Shuiguan Yang Jiayun were busy digging canals. Most of the affairs of the county are left to Cui Xiancheng and Chief Secretary Gao. If you have any doubts, ask her again.

Although she has drafted a plan, on-site surveys are still needed to confirm the direction of the canal. She led a group of people walking beside the canal. In addition to Yang Jiayun, she was also accompanied by Yantou, Zhishui Ren, Shuizi and other assistants. She also brought a canal chief with her who was very prestigious in the local area.

After listening to Yang Jiayun's opinion, Pei Jiaoran nodded slightly.

As far as Chang'an, down to various prefectures and counties. Each department has its own specialty. Although she is the county magistrate, she is not as good as Yang Jiayun in building water conservancy.

When Yang Jiayun pointed out the mistakes in her plan, Pei Jiaoran showed no annoyance on her face. Instead, she looked ashamed, "I didn't think well about this. If there are other mistakes, I hope Yang Shuiguan can give me some advice."

"The words of the Ming Dynasty are serious. None of us have thought of this before, but you have thought it through." Yang Jiayun handed her over, "It is a blessing for the people of Guazhou to have you as a parent official in Guazhou."

"Pei Mingfu, you are really a woman." The old man with a gray beard praised while stroking his beard.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran's eyebrows moved slightly, "Mr. Dou praised me. It is one's duty to share the worries of the imperial court."

Spring is approaching, and the sun above our heads is getting brighter. Seeing that everyone's faces showed signs of fatigue, Pei Jiaoran ordered everyone to rest where they were. After walking for a long time, everyone was already hungry. They took the prepared food boxes and gathered together to find a place to eat.

Looking at Yang Jiayun and others, Pei Jiaoran silently sat by the ditch with the food box in hand. Shen Mu felt the cold river breeze blowing on his face.

"Our Ming Dynasty is really powerful. Ordinary officials would be frightened when they meet the censor."

The speaker was Yantou of Jinchang County.

Pei Jiaoran took a bite of the steamed cake in his hand and rolled his lips.

I heard Yantou continue: "I heard that she even invited the censor to have dinner at the county's public kitchen that day! I really admire her courage."

"No. I heard that many people in the county admire her."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but smile. She is not wrong, so why should she be afraid of the censor? Besides, Yuan Yanchong wasn't targeting her, so why should she be afraid.

The more afraid you are when facing those people at Yushitai, the easier it is to fall into their trap. Not only are these people extremely cold-hearted, but they are also all evil-hearted. It's so dark that you can't even imagine where they would impeach you.

After taking a sip of water, Pei Jiaoran was about to wash his hands. Suddenly I heard the sound of horse hooves not far away.

They saw two riders galloping towards them.

Look intently. One is Li Xiujing, and the other is Yuan Yanchong.

Seeing the two people getting closer, Pei Jiaoran turned his head away. She was not surprised that Li Xiujing would come, but why did this guy Yuan Yanchong come too. He has nothing to do at hand? Did he find the person he asked to check?

Full of doubts came to mind. Pei Jiaoran turned his head to watch the two dismounting from their horses in the distance, and held their lips together in a perfunctory manner.

"Why are you here?" Pei Jiaoran asked.

After hearing this, Yuan Yanchong turned to look at the people who were probing, and pointed forward, "Speak somewhere else."

Pei Jiaoran's eyes flashed with ridicule as he caught a glimpse of the alertness in Yuan Yan's eyes. He and Li Xiujing followed him and walked up Tulong not far away.

After walking in the wind and sand for a long time, Pei Jiaoran had already become disgraced. Only his eyes were like a clear spring. Bright and firm.

"Yuan Yanchong has found that person." Li Xiujing looked at Pei Jiaoran with a solemn expression, "But it's a pity that the person is not in a good condition now."

Pei Jiaoran frowned, "Has the governor seen him?"

"Not yet. Yuan Yanchong came to see me today. He would like to ask your opinion." Li Xiujing said solemnly.

Listening to Li Xiujing's words, Pei Jiaoran's lips tightened. He kicked the loess under his feet and said, "Catch him and torture him." He glanced at Yuan Yanchong and said, "The Yushitai should have a way to make him speak, right?"

In the previous dynasty, there was an official named Ku who was also at Yushitai. When he was serving as censor, he invented many torture methods. It is said that he poured vinegar directly into the prisoners' noses during interrogation, and even invented more than ten torture shackles to cooperate with the trial. He can play with a simple shackle in several ways, which shows his unique ability. This pattern of Yushitai continued until the end of the previous dynasty.

Of course, in this dynasty, Emperor Taizong felt that although the punishment set up by the Yushitai could intimidate the guilty officials, it was too cruel. Then he ordered the abolition of most of the torture methods invented by the cruel officials, leaving only a few mild methods.

"Yushitai has always been fair..." Yuan Yanchong said with a straight face.

"Is it true? The censor will be punished for lying." Pei Jiaoran rolled up his sleeves, "How should Yuan censor handle it? I think it's good to attack him at the first sight."

Hearing this, Yuan Yan's eyes widened and he sighed, "You are really ruthless."

Li Xiujing rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully: "Do people from Yushitai have the nerve to say that others are ruthless?"

"Why is our Yushitai so cruel?" Yuan Yanchong took a deep breath and said angrily: "Some people are just tough-talking. If you don't give them some clues, how can they speak? This is why the Sansi Prison and the Prefecture and County Prisons have to be set up The reason for the torture device is to deter them first, and if that doesn’t work, take action.”

The so-called recruiting at first sight. That is to take out all the existing torture instruments and methods in the Yushitai and show them to the prisoners. The criminals will not only attack them all, but they will also try their best to discredit themselves, put the blame on themselves, and even bite some people who would not dare to bite them in the past.

"Childish." Pei Jiaoran rolled his eyes at the two of them.

After regaining consciousness, Yuan Yanchong shook his head, "You don't want that person to bite Dugu Chen, do you? No, it's too dangerous."

"The knife is already hanging over my head. Is there anything more dangerous than this?" Pei Jiaoran bent down to pick up the stones on the ground and threw them into the ditch. Looking at the ripples, he said warmly: "Let me give you a trick. . Let me try to recruit him at first sight, and then you take him to Liangzhou to find Dugu Chen, saying that you met him on the road. He said a lot of nonsense to you about the handsome man. "

Pei Jiaoran's tone was clearly cold. Although she didn't think it was a good idea, it wasn't impossible. Counting the days, Dugu Chen should have seen Gao Bin's letter. At the moment, he is probably frightened.

"You mean, if Dugu Chen kills this person, he has a guilty conscience?" Yuan Yanchong said in a deep voice.

"Otherwise? Yuan Yushi should take the people there as soon as possible. I still need to discuss digging ditches with the governor. I won't send them away." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

After glancing at the two of them, Yuan Yanchong rolled his sleeves and left.

"This man is really stupid..." Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly.
