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

Spring and bright scenery bring prosperity to the eyes. Pei Jiaoran walked very leisurely along the way. Before she went from Chang'an to Guazhou to take office, the court did not give her much leave to dress up, so she walked in a hurry. Now that she was given a lot of leave when she returned to Beijing, she was not in a hurry. Just go directly to Jiannan.

Go to Jiannan to try Jiannan Shaochun, and pay homage to the ancestors buried here.

In front of the old friend's grave are green cypresses, with green mountains at the back and the Jialing River in front. A pair of incense sticks and ingots were presented in front of the tomb. Pei Jiaoran held the incense and bowed three times before placing the incense in front of the tomb.

Looking at the tomb of Xu Gong Chaohui, the former governor of Yizhou in the Wei Dynasty written on the tomb, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes deeply. She had seen the name of the governor from the records left by her ancestors.

He entered the officialdom from a humble family, and worked his way from Sima Qingzhou to the governor of Yizhou. He worked conscientiously during his tenure, and complemented each other with the commander Cui at that time, and jointly protected the peace of the people in Jiannan. He worked hard for decades to eliminate the bad governance left by the traitor Duan, and finally died in office at the age of forty-seven.

She entered Chang'an this time if she wanted to fulfill her ancestor's will. Few people must be like this Governor Xu, who has to work hard to eliminate the long-standing shortcomings in the court. But is it worth it?

When I close my eyes, I can see clearly all the difficulties I have experienced in my life. She was hampered by many obstacles and acted as a knife in the hands of others. She wanted to push through the clouds and see the blue sky with her lonesome courage, but she eventually died in it. Not only did she fail to fulfill her ancestor's will, she even took her own life. But she couldn't do it if she gave up her great future just because she cherished her life.

With power in hand, it is naturally very beautiful. What's more, she wants to leave her name in history and inherit the legacy of her ancestors.

When the rolling thunder came from the sky, Pei Jiaoran looked up at the sky and walked away.

The next day. Pei Jiaoran left Jiannan and rushed to Chang'an.

It was raining continuously in Chang'an.

Thunder was rolling in the sky, and it was a steady stream. The official road was also extremely muddy from the rain, and occasionally there were columns of debris passing by Pei Jiaoran's face.

Pei Jiaoran tightened the reins in his hands and pursed his lips. Although it is not a good idea to continue traveling at this time, there has been the first wave of killers, and there is no guarantee that there will not be more in the future.

Regardless of the increasing rain, Pei Jiaoran urged his horse forward. Finally arrived at Fufengyi late at night. After showing myself to the postmaster, I was able to enter the posthouse to rest.

Pei Jiaoran's face showed exhaustion after running around for a day, but she had no intention of taking a rest. Since she entered the northwest of Beijing, the killer who had been suppressed appeared again.

Apparently someone didn't want her to come back alive. Or maybe he was forcing her to make a choice.

It is self-evident where this threat comes from.

He looked through the account book written by Dugu Chen by candlelight.

She had turned over this account book several times on the road. The amount involved shocked her, and it also shocked the government and the public.

Likewise, she had thought for a long time that even if such an account book was presented to her, it might not be able to bring down Dugu Chen. The garrison in Hexi still has to rely on him. On balance, the superiors may not touch him now.

After all, the feudal towns in Hexi had a close relationship with the emperor because of Zhang Rang. Compared with the Heshuo Fanzhen who refused the emperor's orders and the ambitious Jianghuai Festival Commander, the Hexi Fanzhen was the only force that could be relied on in the world today.

Perhaps this is why Wuchang Lihui was demoted. Because they touched the sensitive parts of the imperial power. And wouldn’t they understand this?

Of course I understand. However, as Zhang Rang and Jia Gonglu became increasingly powerful, they still chose to take risks. The final result was that Duke Changli was demoted, and she, the beloved disciple of Duke Changli, was also in danger.

In her previous life, she only touched the tip of the iceberg in Jinchang. The subsequent county magistrate was ordered to investigate, but he also died on the road. It didn't take long for Duke Changli to be demoted.

Apparently she only had two choices now. Either die or join in the trouble.

The thunderstorm outside the window continued and became more intense.

After closing the account book, Pei Jiaoran pressed it into the wooden box inside the box. After making sure the doors and windows were closed, he put on his clothes and lay down on the bed.

When the lights at the inn suddenly went out, the lights were still on in Jia's mansion in Chang'an City, thousands of miles away.

"It failed again." Jia Gonglu looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said with a smile: "It seems that I have underestimated her. Follow her first and wait until we get to Chang'an."

"Here."

"Pushe, don't we kill her?" the middle-aged scribe on the side asked in confusion.

"She is a talented person. It would be a pity to kill her." Jia Gonglu held the tea and smiled slightly. "If she was a smart person, she should know how to choose. Wuchang Li has fallen, and those people may not protect her. She is now with the bereaved dog. What's the difference? It's better to vote for me and protect her."

Although Pei Jiaoran did cause him a lot of trouble, it would be a pity to kill such a talented person. So he was still willing to lend a helping hand to avoid wasting her talents. But it still depends on whether she accepts it. If she doesn't accept it, then he can only kill him.

The middle-aged scribe frowned, "But this person is fierce, even if I surrender to you now. I'm afraid..."

"Hey. Others will only wag their tails and beg for mercy in front of me, but I still need a fierce dog to bite people outside. She is very suitable." Jia Gonglu smiled, as if he had understood everything, "That memorial is enough to prove her ambition. Wuchang Li Neng If she is allowed to have a successful career, I will certainly be able to do the same for her."

People who have no desires in their hearts are difficult to control. Only those who have desires can control them easily. Pei Jiaoran is exactly like this. Her ambition is truly delightful.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the street. As soon as you see Pei Jiaoran, send someone to notify me. I'll think about where to arrange for her to go." After saying this, Jia Gonglu waved his hand and signaled the middle-aged scribe to retreat.

Looking down at the documents on the case, Jia Gonglu smiled.

This family statement [Note 1] is very clean and can even be considered very innocent. He was born in a family named Pei in Hangzhou. But apart from the place of birth of his parents, there is no name and place of origin of his ancestors. This family named Pei seemed to appear out of thin air in Hangzhou.

After passing the rank of Jinshi, he first entered the Secretary Province and then served as the magistrate of Jinchang County.

This is the most normal promotion path. But he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. Maybe it's because I haven't seen Pei in court for so long.

"She is too proud. If she is directly assigned to the position of Qing Yao, I'm afraid it won't be long before she becomes rebellious." Thinking about it, Jia Gonglu wrote a few words on the paper.

"Let her go and play with those officials first. Demoralize her." Jia Gonglu put down his pen and said to the door: "Let someone send a message. I sent them a new thing. Ask them to entertain them well. she."

"Here."

"Wait a minute. Let people go to the city to spread the news that Li Aitu from Wuchang came to Jia's house late this night to pay homage to me." Jia Gonglu said warmly.

The common servant responded again.

Jia Gonglu walked slowly to the window, opened it and looked at the moon.

Just in case, he had to cut off all Pei Jiaoran's escape routes. Only in this way can she willingly join him and become a sharp blade in his hands.
