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

By the time Pei Jiaoran and his party returned to the garden, it was already dusk.

This Jiangnan courtyard blends into the dusk, with mosquitoes flying up and down around the lantern hanging at the door. As soon as the three of them approached the door, the steward at the door greeted them and said hello.

He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran frowned slightly. There was a slight smile on his face, "What happened? There seem to be more people."

"It's not a big deal." The steward looked around, "It's just a group of refugees who came to the state capital to cause trouble. Don't worry, Mr. Pei, Governor Shen has solved the matter. However, the governor still sent people to patrol nearby, and he was also worried that there would be more trouble in the state. There are remnants of Huan Qi."

Staring at Butler Shen Yuan in front of him, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and smiled without saying a word.

"That's it...thank you Shen Jishi for taking the trouble." Pei Jiaoran nodded with a smile.

After declining the housekeeper's offer to accompany him, Pei Jiaoran took the two of them on a tour in the garden. According to regulations, she was supposed to live in the post house in Yangzhou by herself, but Shen Yunzhou enthusiastically invited her. She also had to conspire with him to restrict Buddhism, so she could only live temporarily in the Shen family's garden.

But this was also her first time wandering around the garden.

There are thousands of flowers and trees in the garden, and there are pavilions and pavilions. When the garden was built, water was introduced into the garden, and the veins were divided, reflecting the left and right sides. A mountain is built through the pond, and bamboo trees are planted with lush greenery. There are wind pavilions, water pavilions, ladders, bridges and pavilions in the garden, as well as loops of islands. The Green Field Hall where she lives now is in the southwest corner, surrounded by water on three sides: east, west, and south. You can enjoy the timeless scenery of the garden at all times.

"Girl, how about we build a house like this when we go back?" Bi Fei stepped forward and took Pei Jiaoran's hand, smiling.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran shook his head, "Oh, my salary is meager. Let's talk about it later."

"It's not good. Although this garden is big, it's empty. It might attract some lonely ghost to live with you." Zhou Mancao said with a smile on his face, "The green-faced and fanged ghost with a long tongue and a bloody mouth. All the yakshas and rakshasas are coming to look for you."

When Zhou Mancao said this, Bi Fei shook his head repeatedly. I never want to build such a big house again.

The three of them crossed the nine-curved bridge made of white marble, but they didn't have time to push the door open and go in. The door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and a person rushed out and knelt down in front of her.

When he raised his head and saw it was her, the man's brows relaxed. Just like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw, "Please Xianggong Pei make the decision for his late father!"

Pei Jiaoran, who was wearing a snow-green skirt, raised her hand and pressed it down gently. He signaled to the other party to be calm and turned around and entered the house. Seeing that the woman blocking the road gradually calmed down, she motioned for the other person to continue speaking.

"Xianggong Pei. Sun Shaofeng, a citizen of the country, is the daughter of Sun Shu, the magistrate of Anji County, Huzhou. My father was killed by the Huzhou governor a year ago without paying any attention to him."

"When the daughter and mother heard that Mr. Pei was here, they came all the way from Huzhou to Yangzhou to seek justice for their late father. However, they were blocked by the Huzhou governor, who colluded with the Yangzhou governor. He sent people to imprison him. Our mother and daughter, the daughter of the people, managed to escape with great difficulty. We only hope to see Mr. Pei."

Pei Jiaoran's eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was no discernible emotion or anger in his eyes, which were as dark as a deep ancient well. He washed his hands in the copper basin and wiped his fingers with silk cloth. He sat down and asked Sun Shaofeng to explain his father's case in detail.

"You are saying that the governor of Huzhou, Han You, sealed the stick and killed your father. It was because your father, when he was prosecuting Muramasa Shen Fei, he did not issue a formal letter or seal it. After Han You knew about it, he did not send anyone to investigate. Are you going to send An Shiwen, the lieutenant in front of the government office, to kill your father?"

"Yes. Although my late father Bai Zheng was wrong in chasing after him, he committed only a small crime. And what Han You did was unwritten, but it was actually his arbitrary actions that led to my father's death after being hit with a butt cane."

Pei Jiaoran frowned as he tapped the table with his fingers. The so-called white form chasing and photographing means that the written form is issued immediately after direct approval without even the official seal. According to the laws of Wei, it is indeed not a serious crime. Even if you have to be punished, the crime will not lead to death. Now that Sun Pu is dead, his family members have no way to even redress his grievances.

"Your father made a mistake first. And Han You was also wrong in punishing arbitrary actions without noticing. It's just that Shen Yunzhou stopped you from seeing me, which was really wrong." Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly, "Ti Ke saved his father and won Emperor Wen's favor and abolished corporal punishment. . During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Wuji was a Wei in Jiangzhou. Her father was killed by a fellow villager when she was six years old. She lay dormant for several years, and finally killed her father's murderer at her uncle's banquet. After surrendering to the county government, she was praised for her filial piety and loyalty. Instead, he was rewarded.”

"Ms. Pei wants me to kill Han You?" Sun Shaofeng asked in surprise.

"Oh, killing an official of the imperial court is a serious crime." Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly, "But I can file a memorial for you and protect you and your mother. But the outcome depends on whether you are lucky enough to see the world."

"They said you acted cheaply. With your power, why can't you directly deal with Han You? If I can't see Tianyan, wouldn't I be able to redress my father's grievances?" Sun Shaofeng retorted.

"Both are violating the law. How do you want the court to give you justice? All you can do is use the public opinion you have to build momentum for yourself." Pei Jiaoran took a sip of tea and said, "Adjust public opinion to your advantage. As for It’s not hard evidence to control public opinion.”

This matter is similar to what happened in Tongzhou. Public opinions like this often only need to arouse other people's empathy, rather than rationality. This is the area of ​​public opinion and political issues.

"The release of your father's matter alone is not a big deal. But if this matter makes the people feel that their interests have been harmed, they will involuntarily judge a matter with the most direct emotions and the most brutal methods. Matter." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Sun Shaofeng meaningfully, "You'd better get me a copy of the Book of Ten Thousand People. The effect may be better."

Seeing Sun Shaofeng nodding, Pei Jiaoran turned to look at Zhou Mancao, "Take her to your place to rest first. We can't get away. I need to find someone to arrange for my men to escort her back."

Hearing this, Zhou Mancao nodded and looked at Pei Jiaoran. There was a bit of teasing in his eyes.

"he?"

"Alas, I have no one available here. It just so happens that he has almost completed what he is doing." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

After all three people left, Pei Jiaoran sat down in front of the case. Put a piece of Hui ink into Piyong inkstone.

The ink color dissolved in the inkstone, and Pei Jiaoran wrote with his pen.

Soon a letter fell into her hands.

It was already dark now, and the lights all over the garden were lit up from far to near.

"Prime Minister Pei, a message has arrived from Chang'an." The servant's voice reached his ears from outside.

After a quick response, Pei Jiaoran got up and went out. He took the letter from the servant, opened it and read it.

After reading, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips coldly. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
