Xue Bi was originally a noble imperial envoy, when the investigation envoy Liang Shan, after coming back, Zhao Ji was in a frightened heart, which was regarded as a meritorious service as the emperor wanted, and was praised by Zhao Ji.

The old thieves in the court and the central government were not good at provoking the lowly petty officials, holding grudges, conspiring and calculating, and the prime minister at the time, Bai Shizhong, came forward to ask Zhao Ji to cash in the reward, and took advantage of the situation to transfer Xue Bi from the imperial envoy who was not good at handling the handle to be framed by the handle to the oily and watery household department to serve as Langzhong's fat poor.

This is not only like Zhao Ji's reward, but also convenient for future revenge.

The most likely of the six central departments to commit crimes and go to prison is the household department that manages the world's money and grain.

Xue Bi, a newcomer to the non-commissioned officialdom, is not afraid of making mistakes in the retreat of the imperial envoy is not so clear and clever, has never been in contact with the affairs of the household department, and knows almost nothing about the people and things of the household department, trapped in the strange and most trouble-prone money, food, fertilizer and labor shortage affairs and unfamiliar environment, it is too easy to be framed by hands and feet.

got the secret instructions of the big guy, only the lowest-level officials of the household department took action, and they could plant Xue Bi into it with a small trick, and there was no need for the household officials to do it themselves.

Besides, even if Xue Bi is shrewd and talented enough, he can remain alert and knowledgeable in unfamiliar official business, not be fooled, make mistakes, and fail to catch the handle, and the household department can do everything possible to plant him unwarrantedly. He's just a newcomer who has just entered the household department, and the yamen is full of competitors, and from the top boss to Lord Shangshu is the mastermind who framed him, and he still wants to get away with it?

The bigwigs were not in a hurry to rectify Xue Bi.

First, there were too many horrific things that endangered the regime, forcing the thieves to take care of their heads and be too busy; Second, the time is not enough.

Now, the pirates have retreated after blackmailing, as long as the Great Song Dynasty honestly completes the pirates' compensation and trade requirements, the pirates will probably not raise troops to fight in the future. Pirates are very trustworthy when they speak. After the defection of the Western Army, the northwest was also settled, at least on the surface, without the danger of 100,000 urgent......

In short, all the major events that need to be dealt with urgently in this year's chain outbreak are gone, winter is on, the world is peaceful, the court is finally relaxed, and the bigwigs have the leisure and energy to do things again. Geng Nanzhong, the new official took office, and he was in high spirits and couldn't stay idle, taking the lead in taking revenge on Zhao Gonglian and attacking Zhao. Zhao Ji became the emperor, and hid in the deep palace to ignore the details. How did the new emperor know that there was still a small official Xue Bi in the household department, and he was so stupid that he couldn't even sort out the major affairs of the court and politics, let alone care whether the officials below would be framed and wronged. The Liao envoy came...... The government and the opposition were in a panic, and no one had the heart to pay attention to what happened to the investigation envoy who had been Liangshan.......

This is the best opportunity to rectify Xue Bi.

High-ranking officials have terrible memories, but they don't forget people or things that should be remembered. Especially no matter how small the offense is, no matter how humble the enemy, no matter how long it can be remembered.

To retaliate against a small Beijing official like Xue Bi, he didn't need to report to the emperor for knowledge and approval, and directly arrested Xue Bi, who was working carefully in the yamen, by his head, and convicted him casually, with a staff spine of sixty, beaten half to death, and no respite was allowed to recuperate.

let Xue Bi suffer from the harsh winter, and suffered a lot of crimes, and he knew the serious consequences of daring to disobey the bigwigs in the DPRK.

Otherwise, how can the people of the world know that they are in awe of Shangguan, how can they know that the officials of our generation are like the sky, and the king's law is like a furnace under authority?

Poor Xue Bi had unbearable pain on his back, and the warm and decent cotton clothes and cotton boots he was wearing were taken away and taken by some officials. The Song Dynasty from the central to the local, from the emperor, the officials' homes to the common people, was robbed by the tide of immigration defection, and scraped by pirates, not only gold and silver...... The wealth is gone, and the cloth and good clothes are scarce to the point of frightening, not to mention the precious silk and cotton cloth, even the coarse linen has now become a rarity, coupled with the scarcity of women, the lack of people to make clothes by hand, the Great Song Dynasty is destined to be that even many officials want to wear decent new clothes, I am afraid it will not be easy, and ordinary people do not have extravagant hopes, so as soon as there is a chance to take away the clothes of the fallen officials, the officials will definitely not let go.

Xue Bi, a new official like a jinshi, has not taken care of moving his family in Beijing for the time being, and there are no relatives or officialdom friends in Beijing who can take care of him at this time, only a loyal old servant who takes care of his family and serves him was beaten to death on the spot when he raided his house, and his body was casually thrown to the mass grave to feed the beasts.

No one could care to help him heal his injuries and relieve his pain.

The authorities who rectify him are to make him so miserable......

He was indiscriminately put on a dirty and tattered cotton coat that only beggars wore to barely cover his body, this move was mainly to maintain the image of the court to appear less cruel and inhumane, and he could not freeze to death directly in the capital, otherwise he would be directly allowed to go on the road naked, the dirty and hard rags were scraped and the back wound was as painful as a knife scrape, and a pair of broken shoes with rotten holes everywhere and growing up extremely ill-fitting were worn, wearing a ten-pound wooden flail, and being escorted out of the capital under the watchful eyes of a group of people who watched the excitement or numbness of the Beijing people along the way, On that day, he was forcibly driven away by the liberation, endured the pain, hunger, cold, and grief....... He walked nearly twenty miles in one breath against the north wind, was tortured to exhaustion, and consumed the last bit of self-esteem and vitality, and during this time, the shoes that were already unbearable to wear were rotten, wide and ill-fitting, and naturally fell off in the snow....... What does that taste like......

Lin Chong in the Water Margin was relieved to make a fuss on his feet, and his feet were scalded by hot water, but he had to wear new straw sandals with his feet...... But at least there are shoes to wear, the weather is not as cold as murder, and after all the pain, there is still hope for life, and I can always grit my teeth and persevere. And Xue Bi's treatment, Xie Jie clearly wanted to torture his life on the way to escort......

Yesterday's weather was actually quite good, there was wind but no snow, out of Beijing, can go so far in one go, and today, the wind and snow are urgent, often dozens of steps away can not see the figure clearly, the wind and snow northbound has been extremely uncomfortable, there are many times colder than yesterday, the snow road is also difficult to walk, I don't know how many times......

Xue Bi felt that he was dead, and he was numb all over his body, as if he didn't know that he was cold......

He felt that it was better to die now, he would suffer less sins and be humiliated, and the thief would be able to end his drudgery and return to the capital as soon as possible.......

But he is still worried about his wife and children in his hometown, and if he has a glimmer of hope, he can't just die.

In order to retaliate against him, not only tortured and humiliated him so much that his life was worse than death, but also his family was implicated: a child who was only four or five years old would be filled into someone's house as a slave and tortured, and whether he could live to grow up depends on luck; The wife is young and has a bit of beauty, so she will naturally be filled into the house of an official prostitute or someone, and she will have to weave cloth and do all kinds of hard work, and she will become a cheap plaything to be laughed at by decent beasts and wantonly trampled on..... In today's period when labor is extremely scarce and the countless fertile land mines occupied by the bureaucrats are extremely short of people for cultivation and mining, no matter how old and weak they are, they must be used as coolies....... Someone deliberately informed him that Jingzhong had sent someone to his hometown. Ignorant family members will inevitably be poisoned and will fall into hell in a few days.......

Thinking of the suffering that his wife and children would suffer, Xue Bi's heart was like a needle prick.

He, a native of the Song Dynasty, couldn't see the "Dream of Red Mansions" that only existed in the Qing Dynasty, and he didn't know that the Song bureaucrats at this time, including the royal family, were almost very similar to some of the characteristics of Jia Baoyu in the Red Mansion: consciously destined to be good, born rich and intelligent, squeamish, and extremely expensive, he was the center of the world, and everyone had to revolve around him, they all had to hold him, love him, get used to him, beauty, all kinds of luxuries, and enjoy good things...... Good things and good things have to be his, at least they have to be his priority, he can be cowardly, selfish, incompetent, and shameless, but everyone has to respect him and follow his wishes, no one can steal his limelight and take his love, can't lose his face, can't make him a little unhappy...... Otherwise, (drop the jade) magnify the move...... Revenge punishment dares to make him unhappy. As for others? It's all mud, not a human scum......

In Zhao Yue's eyes, Jia Baoyu is a proud and conceited but incompetent pervert.

The existence of such people is not beneficial to society at all, it is a willful scourge that specializes in cheating people, consuming social wealth, corrupting the society's courageous and progressive atmosphere, and only creating dung.

And the Song rulers at this time at the end of the Song Dynasty were almost all more hateful and willful scourges than Jia Baoyu.

Because these people are extremely greedy, they are far more capable and ambitious than a playboy like Jia Baoyu who has no worldly fame and fortune to pursue.

Xue Bi's disaster today is only a reflection of the tip of the iceberg of the murderous and criminal evils hidden behind the image of high-ranking officials and celebrities by the rotten bureaucrats at the end of the Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that Xue Bi understood too late, he had always had illusions about the imperial court, and he was also conceited about his officialdom ability, so he didn't decisively abandon the official and flee......

What happened to him was a problem for society, but also for himself.

Goodbye to the boar forest.

The wild boar forest, a large area of primeval forest, is the most ideal killing place in the Gyeonggi area. It's on flat ground, just on the side of the road, you don't have to climb the mountain to find a hidden place to start, and you don't have to bother to coax people to enter.

Nowadays, there is a lack of people here, and with the population of the surrounding area plummeting, it is difficult for residents to avoid this danger within ten or twenty miles, and it is more and more desolate and suitable for harming people.

Except for those who want to harm people, no one will pay attention to this wild forest.

Killing people in the woods, as long as they are not deliberately tracked down, no one knows at all.

Xue Bi was escorted and forced to hurry away, just to get here as soon as possible.

He had taken a shortcut when he went to Liangshan for the investigation envoy, and he knew what kind of place it was, and now when he saw this, he completely understood.

It turned out that the old thieves in the court had no intention of letting him suffer all his crimes and travel long distances to Hebei West Road to be a coolie to suffer pain and torture for a longer time, and they wanted his life in this place not far from the capital.

How much I hate him and how much I want him to die!

The ferocious and narrow-minded vindictiveness of the old thieves once again broke the lower limit of his estimates.

Shocked and sorrowful, he was driven into the woods by the fierce solution called Zhang Zhao with a stick, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Is that shameless national thief so anxious to kill me?" I'm so anxious to kill me, so I don't have to suffer. Hahahaha......."

"Zhang Zhao, you despicable villain doesn't have to work hard to drag the master and me into the forest. Isn't it just death? I'll go by myself, sir. ”

Zhang Zhao glared fiercely, who do you dare to be so unlucky when you are so unlucky?

But then he smiled again, and said triumphantly: "You stupid scholar has finally opened his mind." Go obediently by yourself, don't have to work me, master, you know each other. “

"Hehe, I ended up with you earlier, and my brother went back early to pay the reward, and then stayed at home comfortably pretending to be still on the way to escort, and there was still nearly a year of public money for nothing. Thank you for that. Seeing that you are so knowledgeable, I won't torture you much, sir. Rest assured, a quasi-knife will end your pain. I wish you a great ascension...... Hum hum hum ......"

Xue Bi sighed, and had nothing to say about this kind of black-hearted servant who was humble and didn't care about his face at all.

He is just an exhausted and dying powerless civil official, not a leopard-headed Lin Chong who has been tortured but still has the power of a tiger, and he is dragged down by shackles, facing two strong and strong people who are like wolves and tigers, even if they have a plan to play a plot, it is impossible to resist.

Since stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, so don't shrink it.

Simply die, die happily, and end this life as soon as possible......

Thinking so, he laughed wildly, ignoring the fact that the ground in the snow-covered forest was more difficult to walk, and despite the thorns on his feet that stained the snow along the way, he entered the deeper part of the wild forest, turned around and sneered at Zhang Zhao and another Xie Cha named Deng Lin, and said proudly: "I died here, and I can't see it outside." You don't have to go any further. I am in less pain, and you are walking less. Come on, do it. “

As he spoke, he endured severe pain and cold, hunger and dizziness, took a deep breath and tried to straighten his chest, looking at the sky and waiting for death.

Zhang Zhao laughed and said: "The weak chicken boy who is waiting to die is just a fool, and he dares to play a temper with his grandfather when he is dying?" “

"You want to die early and be happy, hehe, Lao Tzu is not as good as you want."

Pointing deeper into a giant pine that two adults might not be able to hug together, "See?" Die for that. ”

"Walk past and enjoy a little more stroll through the pine forest and snow. When you die, your corpse becomes nourishment, and your stupid face-loving soul can become one with the tree. I'm afraid that the tree will not be thousands of years old, and it is very likely that it will become a sperm. It's great that you're one with it, and you can live forever as long as you don't get cut down, and you can't see the big people you want to kill and take revenge die here, even though it's unlikely. You will only see them enjoy more blessings and greater prestige, and you will bear more hatred and more pain......"

"Hmph, but this is finally grandpa, I took care of you, grandpa, I am very merciful, right?"

Deng Lin, who only listened to Zhang Zhao's greetings all the way, didn't talk much, and didn't abuse Xue Bi much, also showed the shameless and murderous face of the law enforcement officials who should be killed in this era: "Honorable and talented Lord Xue, please move your steps?" “

"Don't worry, I promise to send you to the west with a knife. There is a wrong, there is a debtor, Lord Xue, don't write the hatred on my brother's head when you go to the underworld or the West Heaven. “

Xue Bi silently looked at Deng Lin, who was full of hideous and cunning faces, then at Zhang Zhao, who was becoming more and more murderous and proud, and then at the gray sky where the wind was more rapid and the snow was bigger and seemed to be about to fall, he exhaled a long breath of white air and said slowly: "It's so cold." “

Then he limped and strode towards the giant pine.......
