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

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu You immediately stepped forward and opened the door cooperatively. The noise outside the house reached my ears. Pei Jiaoran, who stood at the door, turned to look mockingly at Wang Shizhao, who looked angry.

"Allowing his subordinates to roam the countryside, preying on the people. And provoking military rebellion..." After a pause, Pei Jiaoran slightly curled his lips, "Add the two crimes together, and add a charge of murdering the county magistrate. According to the law, he will be in prison for at least three years. "

The ghostly light flows in the black beady pupils, but it is like a bottomless pool, exuding the magic power that tempts people to fall.

"I have already reported this matter to the governor. I think the state capital will decide the matter in accordance with the law."

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran glanced at the county magistrate and county officials who were stunned on the spot, "Everyone is frightened today. Please go back to your office and rest."

After saying this, a middle-aged general walked in and bowed his hand to Pei Jiaoran respectfully, "Pei Ming Mansion, all the rebels outside have been captured. It's up to you to decide what to do according to the governor's instructions. We have also sent people to the town barracks. Stare.”

"Thank you, Zhou Lang will take away Wang Shizhao."

Zhou Lang ordered people to take Wang Shizhao away and said goodbye to Pei Jiaoran.

Seeing Wang Shizhao's angry eyes as he left, Pei Jiaoran let out a long sigh. County officials and county officials also stood up and said goodbye. Only Pei Jiaoran and Chu You were left in the public kitchen.

After crossing the threshold, Pei Jiaoran suddenly turned his head and looked at Chuyou.

"You're fine."

Hearing this, Chu You raised his eyebrows and looked at her with confusion, "Mingfu? What you said..." After a pause, he said, "But what did the official do wrong?"

Pei Jiaoran smiled and took a few steps forward. Then he turned around and reminded with a serious face, "Next time you send a message to someone, don't be too blatant."

Chu You was left stunned on the spot with his mouth wide open. He touched his nose with a confused look on his face. Did he expose himself? Suddenly, he recalled Pei Jiaoran's meaningful gaze not long ago. I'm afraid she would have seen the little moves between herself and that general by then.

Thinking of this, Chu You couldn't help but secretly sigh at his mistake. He immediately caught up with Pei Jiaoran, but no one was seen.

Although Wang Shizhao has been arrested, the people in the town barracks still don't know about it. By the time they reacted, Guazhou soldiers had already surrounded the town barracks.

The news was sealed tightly, and the possibility of seeking help from inside was cut off. As a result, the entire town barracks was trapped in an atmosphere of panic.

In the public room, Pei Jiaoran was looking at the account books and raised his lips slightly when he heard the discussion below.

With Li Xiujing's soldiers guarding the town barracks, it was indeed much easier. General Nalang had announced early in the morning that anyone who caused trouble in the camp would be killed without mercy.

But a few days ago, there happened to be rogue soldiers who did not believe in evil, and they joined their colleagues in trying to break through the blockade. As a result, his head was beheaded by Li Xiujing's men on the spot.

When blood was seen in the camp, those who caused trouble naturally stopped. But after they found out that it was Li Xiujing who sent people to guard here, they gave him a "vicious" evaluation.

"Ming Mansion, those people scolded Governor Li like this. What if Governor Li investigates?" Cui Xiancheng said with a worried look on his face.

"Haha, what will happen to a tiger with its teeth pulled out and no sharp claws?" Pei Jiaoran put down the account book in his hand and said with a smile: "If I say scolding, it won't matter. We have to deal with the taxation matter now. As for the military camp. ,hold on."

After seeing the blood, everyone in the town barracks began to feel insecure as time went by. Rumors were also spreading in the camp, saying that the imperial court wanted to kill them all because of the rebellion. Those who cursed Wang Shizhao all turned into Li Xiujing.

"Bah, this Wang Shizhao has done harm to others. This Li Xiujing is even more insane."

"Li Xiujing, the man who killed a thousand swords, will not die a good death. By locking us here, do you want to recruit us so that we can rebel?"

"In my opinion, Li Xiujing will be killed sooner or later. I curse him to be buried in the wilderness and eaten by wild dogs."

After hearing Chu You's report, Pei Jiaoran stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go to the town barracks."

The middle-aged general looked at Pei Jiaoran with surprise and hesitated before letting her into the camp. Anyway, before leaving, the governor told him that everything would be subject to Pei Jiaoran's arrangements.

"General Lang, it's time to withdraw his troops." Pei Jiaoran said lightly while holding tea.

Perhaps because he couldn't believe his ears, Lang Jiang's eyes widened.

"Withdraw the troops. Leave the remaining matters to me." Playing with the tea cup, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and said, "Go back and report to the Governor. Everything will go according to plan."

This negotiation was conducted in secret, and no one knew the content or outcome. But when word spread to the town barracks, people who were originally complaining about this Mingfu suddenly turned into gratitude.

After all, they are sincerely dealing with them.

When they were grateful to Pei Jiaoran, she also came to the town barracks in person.

"Everyone, I have discussed with the county officials. We will reduce your number to 500, and the rest can turn into united soldiers or retire on your own. Although you no longer enjoy the treatment of officers and soldiers, the court will not forget you. Those with non-local household registration will all be given subsidies for returning home, and those with local household registration will be given preferential tax treatment."

After listening to Pei Jiaoran's words, everyone kowtowed in thanks. Although they don't want to be laid off, compared to this, saving lives is obviously the most important thing.

Only those with thorns and crimes on their bodies are left. Pei Jiaoran didn't talk nonsense to them and handed them all over to the general to handle them according to military law.

After dealing with these people, Pei Jiaoran rushed to the Governor's Mansion without stopping.

While straightening his clothes in front of the house, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes slightly. Calmly stepped forward and handed over the greeting card, waiting for the call.

"Pei Ming Mansion, the governor please come in."

Hearing the servant's voice, Pei Jiaoran followed him across the threshold and entered the Governor's Mansion with light steps.

This seemed to be the first time she had come in openly since she came back. Just as she was thinking about it, the servant had already led her to the study, knocked on the door three times, and after receiving permission, bowed and invited her in.

After crossing the threshold, Pei Jiaoran stopped immediately. He bowed his hands in salute and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to pay my respects to the governor."

"I thought you weren't going to come."

The words and footsteps stopped in front of him, and Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What are you talking about, the governor?" Pei Jiaoran raised his head and chuckled, showing a pair of sharp tiger fangs. "Of course I am coming to return my life to the governor. I can't let you suffer so many days of scolding in vain."

She smiled very gently, and the scarlet tear mole at the corner of her eye moved with her smile.

Looking at her, Li Xiujing turned and walked towards the window. Pointing to the seat in front of him, "Sit down."

Pei Jiaoran sat down as instructed and met Li Xiujing's gaze as usual.

"I thought you wouldn't let those people go."

"I have no enmity with them, why should I offend them?" Pei Jiaoran said with a soft smile, holding the lid of the urn and sliding it over the rim of the cup, "Besides, winning people's hearts is more important than anything else."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes with a cold look. The county magistrate is an official who is close to the people, and the people are like water. Officials and people have always been interdependent. If she wants to have a smooth stay in Jinchang, she cannot easily become enemies.

Reducing the number of generals in Jinchang Town was indeed a dangerous move made out of necessity. The tougher her attitude and methods are at this time, the more people in the general camp will die with her.

So she could only use Li Xiujing's people to be the villain. Anyway, these people were concerned about his identity, so naturally they wouldn't go looking for trouble with him.

Only the troublesome Dugu Chen is left.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran pursed his lips slightly.
