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

On the third day after the civil unrest, Pei Jiaoran took two censors, Li Xing and Li Xiujing, to the county house.

At this time, although the city has not completely restored its previous prosperity and vitality, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. The people's faces were also filled with joy, and they were receiving porridge in front of the porridge shed. Pei Jiaoran rode on horseback and looked around. Looking at the servants guiding the people to eat at the porridge sheds and carrying food, she knew that this was the attitude given by the party.

The summer wind ruffled the hem of her clothes, and Pei Jiaoran raised her head. The crescent moon in Yun's eyes also became much gentler, and the light and shadow of the sword hidden in it also faded away. Surrounded by the Shence Army and amid the shouts of the people, she stepped into the county house. Step by step, he walked behind the desk and sat down. Shence Jun took the place of the Yamen servant and lined up the lower ranks.

This station, in addition to being as solemn as a court meeting, can also reflect the authority of the center.

Not long after, there were two sergeants dressed as mid-level officers, holding a directory and handing it to Pei Jiaoran. These were the number of people they counted on the battlefield after they killed Quan Dehui that day. According to the system, casualties and the number of enemies killed should be quickly counted after the war and submitted to the superior. But Pei Jiaoran asked them to wait for a few days before giving it to him.

Pei Jiaoran took the directory and flipped through it, "General Li, He Liang."

Her voice is gentle and elegant. There is a hint of peach blossom color at the end of the eyes, which looks quite obscure.

"Servant Pei." Li Xiujing called.

"This battle was all due to General Li's command and calmness in the face of danger, and Vice General He's contribution to defeating the enemy. Of course, it would not be without the bloody fighting of all the soldiers. I and General Li will report this military achievement according to the facts, please Your Majesty commends you all greatly." Pei Jiaoran smiled, his eyes full of tenderness, calm and gentle. But he also managed the superior person's self-confidence just right.

After hearing this, He Liang hurriedly resigned and humbled himself, "This is our duty, how dare we take credit for it. The ability to kill the culprits of the people's rebellion this time is all due to the meritorious command of Minister Pei."

Looking at He Liang, Pei Jiaoran said softly, "Vice-General He, why should you be so modest? If you talk about things, you will naturally reward them based on their merits."

The faces of the Shence sergeants were filled with joy, and there was unconcealable excitement in their eyes. In the past, when they went on expeditions, how they reported their military merits was entirely in the hands of superior officers. Therefore, there are many people who take advantage of the power in their hands to take credit for their own merit, but the central government does not care about too many details and lets the subordinates award rewards according to the order. After all, a pawn is nothing more than a fool. Even if he throws his head and blood on the battlefield, it cannot be worth a word from inside the center. How can it be worthy of the attention of the high-ranking officials in the purple service.

But now Pei Jiaoran's report is different. She is an important minister of the central government, and she is also the governor personally appointed by the emperor to provide relief. Her words also carry more weight than others. Under Xia Yang, everyone looked at each other and cast thankful glances at Pei Jiaoran. This time they were sent to assist in disaster relief, and it might be worth it.

Looking through the directory in his hand, Pei Jiaoran licked his lips. She knew why Dang Chenghong asked her which question yesterday. She just wanted to be known as a good person in the eyes of the Tongzhou town soldiers, and as an executor of upholding national laws, she would inevitably be disliked by the Tongzhou villagers. The reason why she didn't answer him was because the other party was not sincere enough.

"Everyone involved in the case will be punished according to the murder system. The main culprit will be hanged if he slanders others, and beheaded if he kills. The rest of the people will be exiled for two thousand miles, and the family of the offender will not be harmed." Pei Jiaoran's voice was firm, without a trace of hesitation. .

The county and town soldiers were ordered to take him to the county jail, and a group of state and town soldiers involved in the case came. Pei Jiaoran sat behind the desk and stared at the several state soldiers below with cold eyes. Reluctance and annoyance were caught in their eyes, but she just sighed, raised her hand and threw out the command talisman. He raised the knife and dropped it, blood spurted out, and several heads fell off and rolled on the ground for a while. The remaining people were also hanged with thick ropes.

Pei Jiaoran had a cold expression from beginning to end. He ordered people to clean up the gate of the county house, and he took two censors to inspect the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples where the villagers were accommodated.

That night, Dang Chenghong came to see Pei Jiaoran in person. But this time the two actually had a great time talking to each other. Before leaving, Pei Jiaoran even gave him a message.

There was only one sentence written on the paper, "If the law is followed, the country will be governed, but if selfish intentions are followed, the country will be in chaos."

She had just reached an agreement with Dang Chenghong, and then the court sent someone to deliver an urgent letter.

"As you thought, Heshuo is still in chaos." Li Xiujing handed the letter to Pei Jiaoran, "Qingjia, what should we do next?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran said nothing, frowned and glanced at the letter he handed over. Although her original intention was to force the Three Towns to rebel, she did not expect that the Three Towns would be so impatient.

"I'm not in Chang'an right now, and I'm afraid there are many things that I can't interfere with. Judging from the current situation, the military expenditure for this expedition should be sufficient." Pei Jiaoran paused and continued: "But don't worry. I can still guarantee you this time. There is enough military expenditure for the conquest.”

"I'm not worried about this. I'm just wondering why the three towns suddenly rebelled so quickly. I heard a few days ago that the governors of Wei Bo and Chengde both died of illness. Judging from this, the reasons for the rebellion of the three towns are mostly related to The imperial court does not agree with them, and it is related to the succession of Jiedu envoys."

"Jia Gonglu." Pei Jiaoran opened his lips and spit out the name.

Li Xiujing asked: "Do you mean that Jia Gonglu wants to use the help of the feudal town to get rid of his political enemies?"

"There must be a reason for raising troops in the three towns. What reason is more effective than the Qing Jun side. During the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms in the Han Dynasty, when the princes asked to kill Chao Cuo, the reason was the Qing Jun side." Pei Jiao's eyes flickered, "The policy of reducing troops I brought it up to Jia Gonglu. And he turned around and told Wang Yu, just because he wanted Wang Yu to die. As for your majesty..."

Thinking of his conversation with Emperor Wei that day, Pei Jiaoran looked down at the candlestick on the table.

"It would be best if we can successfully reduce the troops, but if we can't, we have to let Wang Yu be treated as Chao Cuo." Pei Jiaoran licked his lips, and there was sarcasm in his eyes.

"Qingjia, what if His Majesty wants you to be Chao Cuo?"

"Me?" Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes and tilted his head to look at Li Xiujing thoughtfully, "If this is the case, I will try my best to protect myself. At the worst, I will be demoted from the center by the king, leaving Qingshan without fear. No firewood.”

Seeing Pei Jiaoran looking optimistic, there was no hint of calculation in his eyes. Li Xiujing came closer to her and stared into her eyes.

"Shall I leave He Liang and the others to you?" Li Xiujing asked.

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran shook his head, "They are making great achievements right now. If they stay with me, wouldn't they be delaying their future in vain. Besides, Tongzhou's domineering power is enough, and the rest requires kingly ways."

Her efforts in Tongzhou have been enough, now we need to see what kind of rewards benevolent government will bring.

The order was urgent, and Li Xiujing did not delay. That night the troops were ordered together and prepared to set off.

The city gate. Li Xiujing looked at Pei Jiaoran under the moonlight intently.

"Qingjia, I have to leave." Li Xiujing said silently.

He didn't know how long it would take to get there, let alone whether anyone would set up an ambush in the dark. And on the battlefield, the sword was blind, and he didn't know if he could come back alive.

"I don't know what to say to you." Li Xiujing reached out to hold her hand and put it against his chest, looking at her deeply, "I just hope you won't be coerced by any force again. You have to go to Fengge Luantai." Purple robe.”

He expressed his love for her. But he also knew that she didn't think that the relationship between men and women was that important, so he couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

Pei Jiaoran is standing under the moon, wearing a silver-red skirt. Like the peonies blooming under the moon, although they are gorgeous, they reveal a rugged and cold feeling. It is also like a ball of flame, except that there is a pile of Kunlun snow hidden under the flame, which is difficult to melt when exposed to fire.

"If Xuanyin comes back alive, I will personally write a white edict for you." Meeting Li Xiujing's gaze, Pei Jiaoran smiled.

With a smile, Li Xiujing got on his horse and left with He Liang and a group of Shence sergeants.
