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

With a sneer, Pei Jiaoran raised his head. He looked at the Heyang County Magistrate with a gentle expression.

"I don't know if anyone will come to save me. But your position and life as county magistrate can't be saved." Pei Jiaoran's eyes suddenly turned cold, "As a county magistrate, people go to court and act indiscriminately. To directly discuss the crime, who gave you such power? And what evidence is there for labeling us as rebels?"

"You! Who allowed you to speak cleverly and seductively in court!" Heyang County Magistrate raised the tree and smashed it on the table. "Someone come and give me a severe punishment. I will teach this female thief who knows nothing about heaven and earth a lesson." After saying this, he said coldly. He snorted, "You are so bold and cunning. You dare not kneel down when you see me, but you dare to make clever words and make eloquent remarks and sophistry in the court. If I don't punish you today, how can you be worthy of the official uniform you are wearing? Someone come and give her to me." The officer pulled him down and gave him sixty sticks."

The yamen servant below heard the order and reached out to catch Pei Jiaoran.

"Let's see who dares!" Pei Jiaoran scolded coldly.

After being yelled at by her, the government officials looked at each other in shock. None of them dared to take action and could only look at the Heyang County Magistrate who was looking up.

The scholar Gepao looked at the people on the side, then turned to the county magistrate and said, "Yang Ming Mansion, this woman has a clear mind and seems to have a lot of background. Why not ask clearly before making a decision?"

After glancing at them, the magistrate nodded.

"Who are you? Where are you from? What do you do in Tongzhou for a living? You haven't recruited me from the real situation." The county magistrate slapped him awake and said, "Now that Min County Lieutenant is interceding for you, you should cherish this opportunity. "

The smile on Pei Jiaoran's face gradually deepened when he heard about it, "My surname is Pei Jiaoran, and I am from Hangzhou. I have been a minister of household affairs, and have been involved in politics and governor. I was ordered to serve as governor and relief envoy, and I do things cheaply."

The last four words suddenly became heavier.

The voice that sounded like frost and snow fell on the magistrate's ears, and he fell down from his chair, seemingly frightened. After regaining consciousness, he managed to get up with the help of the county captain, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"You are so bold and cunning, how dare you impersonate Minister Pei! You have several heads that are worthy of being chopped off," the county magistrate said angrily.

Seeing that the other party still looked like he wouldn't shed tears even if he saw the coffin, Pei Jiaoran sighed quietly. He suddenly broke free from the rope on his wrist, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and spread it out.

It was a book made by Emperor Wei for her. The sound of the book being read out was loud and fell into the ears of everyone in the hall, but it was like a reminder.

The magistrate fell from his chair again, fear filling his face. He could no longer care about face, and crawled on the ground to Pei Jiaoran's legs, kowtowing as if pounding garlic. He kept mumbling words of apology.

Looking down at the county magistrate who knelt down to plead guilty, Pei Jiaoran took a step back and said, "Yang Ming Mansion, didn't you just want to punish me? You even beat me and General Li as rebels, why are you doing this now? Such an attitude. Being so arrogant in front and respectful in back is really an eye-opener for me."

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran ignored Magistrate Yang and stepped forward to untie Wu Lingjia and Zhou Mancao. After making sure that both of them were fine, he cut his hands behind his back and turned to look at Magistrate Yang.

At this time, Magistrate Yang's body was trembling violently and he did not dare to breathe out. Lieutenant Min Xian beside him quickly led people to untie the ropes for Li Xiujing and others.

After flexing her wrist, Li Xiujing glanced at Lieutenant Min, who looked respectful, and his eyes fell on Pei Jiaoran. Even though she had hidden her hands in her sleeves, he remembered that there were two very deep marks on her wrists, and she had been bitten by the child before.

Regardless of whether the mouth is deep or not. Someone is bound to die in a flood. If the state capital fails to deal with it in time, it is easy for the epidemic to arise.

He had seen epidemics in the military. Although it has been controlled and effective isolation has been implemented, people are still dying of the epidemic. This is true in the army, let alone a state capital with a large number of people?

"Okay. Magistrate Yang, it's useless for you to kowtow." Pei Jiaoran walked around him and went straight to the top to sit down. "I heard that people attacked the county government a few days ago? How about the current situation? Explain everything clearly to me."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Yang nodded and told the story of how the county government was attacked by the people and how to deal with it. Even after saying this, he did not forget to take the blame upon himself.

"That's it. How about the grain storage in the county?" Pei Jiaoran asked.

"This..." Magistrate Yang looked at her and hesitated, "Heyang County is a disaster-stricken county, and there is not much food left in the county that was washed away by the flood."

"really?"

Magistrate Yang nodded, "I dare not deceive Minister Pei."

"It's late at night, so I won't nag Magistrate Yang. General Li and I will rest at the post tonight." Pei Jiaoran looked at him, "As for those innocent people, Magistrate Yang should let them go. In addition, there are still many people in the city. We must arrange for patrols at all times, and do not let anyone take the opportunity to cause chaos."

"Yes. Your subordinates should remember Shilang Pei's teachings." Magistrate Yang said hurriedly.

Pei Jiaoran looked at Magistrate Yang with a thoughtful look. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Min Xian, he moved into a post house in the county. As soon as Lieutenant Min County left, she ordered He Liang and his people to quickly take over the inside and outside of the post, and set up defenses everywhere.

After all, they were in someone else's territory now. Even if they temporarily shocked the Heyang County Magistrate, the other party would still have options if they couldn't protect them.

Thinking of Wu Lingjia and Zhou Mancao, they followed her all the way, already looking tired. Pei Jiaoran then asked the two of them to rest while he read the records of Heyang County under the lamp.

She seemed so absorbed in what she was watching that she didn't notice anyone coming in at all. Pei Jiaoran didn't raise his head until his slender hand landed on it.

"Why didn't you knock on the door?" Pei Jiaoran frowned.

"You didn't close it properly. Besides, I knocked on the door." Li Xiujing gathered her clothes and sat down. While lifting up her sleeves, he picked up the water-soaked handkerchief and gently wiped her wrists.

The red marks on the wrists caused by the ropes were shocking, and the skin was also worn a lot. There is also a tooth mark on the right wrist.

Glancing at Li Xiujing who was applying medicine to herself, Pei Jiaoran rarely remained silent.

The calloused fingertips traced across the skin, causing a tingling sensation. Pei Jiaoran subconsciously wanted to take his hand out of the other party's hand, but instead it was held tighter.

"Hey, can't you be gentler?" Pei Jiaoran said.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing didn't even raise her head. She dipped the medicine into her fingertips and continued to spread it on her wrist, "Pei Jiaoran, stop pretending. I didn't use much force."

"Don't you know how to cherish the fragrance and cherish the jade?" Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath and said angrily: "I'd better do it myself. It hurts."

"Tomorrow morning I will ask He Liang to go to the city to get medicine. In this situation in Heyang, I don't know if anyone has been infected. If you were bitten by that child, you still have to be careful." Li Xiujing pulled the cloth and wrapped it around her wrist. , the movements are also much lighter.

Seeing the cloth wrapped around his wrist, Pei Jiaoran thought about it.

"Qingjia, this move of yours is too risky. What if County Magistrate Yang says that the book you made is fake?" Li Xiujing sighed and said, "I'm not sure you can escape unscathed."

Those people assigned to him by Cao Wenzhong stayed in Feng Xu. Although the people who came with him were all elites, there were only about ten people. If the two sides really want to start a fight, even if they can be contained for a while, the other side will have a huge numerical advantage. So once something changes, he can't guarantee that they will escape unscathed.
