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

As autumn enters, the weather becomes cooler day by day. In accordance with Pei Jiaoran's instructions, the people on the river were provided with warm food for every meal. Whenever someone contracted the cold, the state government would also arrange for people to see a doctor and get medicine for them.

Since that day, Shen Yunzhou's health has miraculously improved. He took over the affairs of the state capital and related matters on the river from Pei Jiaoran. Even the number of visits to the post house is more than before.

Pei Jiaoran was not idle these days. He sent people to find the magistrates of the counties under Yangzhou's jurisdiction and learned from them how many temples there were in each county. According to statistics, there are still places for obscene worship in Yangzhou alone.

The number of obscene temples in other states and state temples in each state are also included in the statistics. According to Fang Jianyue, the more this is the case, the more it cannot be ignored. There is uncertainty in this unknown. Because of this, she realized that she had to talk to these powerful families again.

In the post house, Pei Jiaoran was reading the newspaper and listening to Shen Yunzhou's report on the situation of the river. Suddenly, when he heard that his servant had come to report, Lu Rui sent his eldest son, Lu Yanhui, who was outside to ask for an audience with Mr. Pei.

Pei Jiaoran turned his head and glanced at Shen Yunzhou beside him. Seeing his brows frowning slightly, he turned around and ordered the servant, "Invite him in."

Lu Yanhui had no official position and was wearing a moon-white robe. His facial features are somewhat similar to Lu Zheng's, but he is more angry. He greeted Pei Jiaoran politely, and when he saw Shen Yunzhou beside him, he smiled and saluted. Unlike Lu Zheng, his face is as white as jade, and his eyebrows are gentle and elegant, making him look like a spring breeze.

Different from the respectful manner when Pei Jiaoran was greeted, this nod made people feel his disdain. It almost makes people forget how colluding these Jianghuai powerful people were at the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet and refused in a roundabout way.

Now these people have changed their faces, and the so-called like-mindedness has become a joke. Each party has set its sights on more profitable areas.

Lu Yanhui said: "Mr. Pei, everyone is ready. Just waiting for your order, we can assist the state government in eradicating the obscenity temple."

After listening to Lu Yanhui's words with a smile, Pei Jiaoran's eyes revealed sarcasm. If you weren't familiar with the faces of this Jianghuai family, you would probably think that they were sincerely doing good for the people. Pei Jiaoran nodded, "Can you help me? I have discussed this with Governor Shen a few days ago."

Although they knew early on that Shen Yunzhou had come to see Pei Jiaoran, they didn't know what they talked about. Lu Yanhui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Pei Jiaoran take the initiative to mention this matter. It seemed that Mr. Pei was not completely on Shen Yunzhou's side, and was probably waiting to see their attitude. That being said, they still have a chance.

Then he said: "Mr. Pei is a very righteous man. Before, we did not dare to offend the people for the sake of stability. Now that I think back to your words that day, we have benefited a lot. We were at fault."

Pei Jiaoran smiled, "It is human nature to be trapped in a situation and not see the disadvantages."

"When do you plan to take action, Mr. Pei?" Lu Yanhui asked.

"Tomorrow the autumn weather will be clear and crisp. I would like to invite all of you to come with me to visit various places." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Shen Yunzhou and asked, "What do Governor Shen think?"

"I respectfully follow Mr. Pei's instructions."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded, "Then I'll ask Mr. Lu to inform them. We'll meet at the state capital at dawn tomorrow."

"Here."

After Lu Yanhui and Shen Yunzhou left, Pei Jiaoran leaned back in his chair, looking a little tired. Lu Yanhui's statement was not enough for her. She also wanted to see what other people's attitudes were.

The east is white, and the moon has not gone away at night. At daybreak, hundreds of people were already waiting at the gate of the state capital. The willow trees beside the embankment swayed gently in the wind, and the lanterns on the porch gave off a faint light. The clatter of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the street, and a man on horseback jumped through the thick fog and appeared in front of everyone.

"Good morning, gentlemen." Pei Jiaoran said with a full smile.

"I have met Mr. Pei." Under the leadership of Shen Yunzhou, everyone bowed and saluted.

"I wonder if Mr. Pei wants to use the halogen book?" Shen Yunzhou asked.

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and said, "There is no need to be so illustrious. This trip is private. How can we work for the governor and abandon the public service for personal reasons." Looking around, "Is everyone here?"

"Everyone is here and ready to go at any time."

"Then let's go."

Against the backdrop of the sun rising and the moon setting, a group of people rode out of the city in a mighty manner. When crossing the river fortifications, the civilians on duty were awakened. Several people whispered, "Who is leaving the city at this time?"

Hearing this, one person looked over with a lantern and said in surprise: "It seems to be Mr. Pei."

"Why is she out of town at this time?"

"I heard that the temple of obscenity is going to be abolished."

"That's a good thing. Those things that harm people shouldn't exist."

After leaving the city, the view gradually broadened. A group of people galloped on the official road, and the moonlight above their heads gradually faded, replaced by the autumn sun. The thick fog rose and dissipated little by little under the sunshine of autumn.

Pei Jiaoran's sight was not obscured by the thick fog, but he slowed down. The mighty team also immediately reined in their horses to control their speed. Everyone looked at Pei Jiaoran intently, holding on to the reins tightly.

Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at everyone with a half-smile, "Everywhere is sending the estimated number of obscene temples, and now they are basically all there."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but heard a whisper in their ears, "However, various prefectures and prefectures have encountered resistance from the believers of the obscene temple during the statistical process. How do you think we should solve it?"

Pei Jiaoran asked suddenly. The faces of the people accompanying him all showed solemnity. The state Sima in charge of statistics stood up and said, "The resistance against Mr. Pei is only on a small scale."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, "It's just a small-scale protest. Why would other states write to this place to ask for help?"

Gu Xun and others, who had no idea what was going on inside, looked at each other. Finally, Lu Rui came out and said, "The conditions of each state are different, and the people's needs for the temple are also different. Difficulties are inevitable, but we are still willing to cooperate with the court."

"What kind of coordination method? Based on my own thinking, it is inevitable that there will be shortcomings. Can you please brainstorm ideas?"

Seeing that no one answered her, Pei Jiaoran licked her lips. Yangbian continued to run forward.

See, she knew they still had concerns. They didn't want to take the initiative to mention the solution to this matter.

When he reached the field, Pei Jiaoran reined in his horse again. The riding crop points to a temple in the distance.

"Where is where?" Pei Jiaoran asked.

Shen Yunzhou said: "That's the Zihua Temple. Those who caused trouble in the county government some time ago were also the followers of Zihua God, and they were also the ones who prevented the state government from counting the number of prostitution temples."

Smiling, Pei Jiaoran said: "The obscene sacrifices are rampant and harm the country. Since you know the disadvantages of obscene sacrifices, why can't you solve them? Is this how you claim to have the origins of your family?"
