Outside Ye County, mass graves.

This place is inaccessible, but hyenas often appear. During the period of martial arts in Ye County, many warriors were killed, but no relatives claimed them, and finally they were carried to the mass grave and buried in a pit.

Under the moonlit night, a vigorous figure quietly appeared.

His steps were extremely fast, and he soon reached the mass grave, and when he stopped, he looked from his back, but his back was a little rickety. The man took a hoe and walked and stopped, and in a short time came to a grave where a man had just been buried. Throwing down the sack, he hunched his back, brandished his hoe, and dug graves with a sigh. After digging out the body inside, the body was loaded, carried on his shoulder, and soon disappeared into the night.

……

Gu Bing is a native of Chenliu in Yanzhou, with a poor family background and a poor scholar.

After raising the coil, Gu Bing traveled thousands of miles from Yanzhou to Ye County to participate in the Dao Conference. In the discussion, Gu Bing passed all the way, defeated one enemy after another, and narrowly entered the last 100 people, and was able to enter the final discussion link. Wang Lei's words in the venue during the day made Gu Bing ecstatic.

As an official, he can finally get rid of the identity of a poor scholar.

In the final discussion, if he can get the praise of Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong and others, he will definitely go to the next level.

The opportunity to turn over was placed in front of Gu Bing's eyes.

Originally, Gu Bing planned to register on the day Wang Lei announced the order, but he entered the final discussion link and got great benefits, and his friends around him all let him have a treat.

Helpless, Gu Bing had no choice but to respond.

Gu Bing and his friends were drunk, and they fell asleep when they returned to their accommodation.

When I woke up early the next morning, I thought about signing up.

After washing, Gu Bing went to the venue of the Discussion Conference. Here, Simbi set up the place of registration. Early in the morning, there was not a single Confucian outside the venue. Especially after several days of fierce debates, I now have enough time to rest at home. Again. Most of the people had already signed up yesterday, and it was sparsely populated early in the morning.

However, soldiers have already arrived at the set location, and the desks for registration are being arranged.

Gu Bing raised his head and strode forward.

"Hey, scholar, give me a hand and help me lift this desk."

When the busy soldiers saw Gu Bing, they didn't think about it, and said directly.

Gu Bingdeng was stunned in place, the expression on his face changed suddenly, his eyes instantly became unruly, and he scolded loudly: "Bastard, I'm here to register, and I'm going to be an official in Ye County." I'm a big man, you barbarian puppets, you let me move the table, what kind of system! ”

A reprimand, high up.

That tone immediately angered the soldier who had just spoken. The soldier put down the work in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and said angrily: "Arrogant, can you be an official with your way?" ”

"Dogs look down on people!"

Gu Bing flicked his sleeves and said disdainfully: "The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, such a Ye County, don't stay." ”

Immediately, Gu Bing turned around and left the venue.

The soldier was about to get angry, but he was stopped by his comrades, so that he could put out his anger. However, the anger in Gu Bing's heart was difficult to quell. He will participate in the discussion next, maybe it will be the next Zheng Xuan, the next Cai Yong...... His future is limitless, how can a mere soldier insult him?

After Gu Bing left, he had just walked a short distance when he met someone. This person was not very old and thin, walked up to Gu Bing, stopped, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Gu, my master is invited!" ”

Gu Bing was stunned, and immediately ordered: "Lead the way ahead!" ”

Running all the way, about half an hour, I came to an ordinary house in the West City. After the two entered, they didn't notice that a person with a jumping burden quietly disappeared behind them.

Entering the hall, Gu Bing met the person who invited him.

This man was half a hundred years old, with long hair, a tall and thin figure, and his eyes were narrow and long, revealing a cold light.

Gu Bing asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" What's the matter with me? ”

The old man did not answer, but said slowly: "Mr. Gu Bing, Wang Lei's soldiers are arrogant and domineering. Similarly, Wang Lei is also extremely arrogant, and he doesn't take a scholar like you in his eyes, how do you feel about this? ”

Gu Bing snorted and said, "I don't have any ideas!" ”

The old man said: "If you don't have any ideas, Your Excellency won't leave with your sleeves up." ”

"You're stalking me?" Gu Bingdao.

The old man put his hands on his lap and said in a deep voice: "It's not tracking, it's just that he met Your Excellency." ”

Gu Bing said: "In this case, what is the purpose of coming to me?" ”

The old man said: "It's very simple, just take revenge on Wang Lei." ”

"I won't do it!"

Gu Bing didn't think about it, and refused directly.

It is true that due to the bad attitude of the soldiers at the registration site, Gu Bing thought that Wang Lei was not very good. However, Gu Bing is just a humble scholar, and it is absolutely impossible to retaliate against Wang Lei.

Once the identity is revealed, the consequences are unimaginable.

The corners of the old man's mouth hooked up a touch of coldness, and said, "Whether you want it or not, it's not up to you to decide." Come on, feed the medicine. ”

The words fell, and the two men in black walked out.

These black-clothed men held Gu Bing and poured the potion into Gu Bing's mouth in three or two times.

The strong smell of medicine permeated the mouth.

"What did you feed me?" Gu Bing panicked, anxious.

The old man smiled lightly and said unhurriedly: "It's just a poison from the Western Regions, it's a chronic poison, and you can't die for the time being." Over time, the effect of the drug will gradually be exerted. You are obedient, I will give you the antidote. After the deed is completed, you will be sent to Chang'an to be an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so that you can shine on the lintel. ”

Gu Bing's mind turned for a moment and said, "Are you Li Ru's person?" ”

"Clever!"

The old man nodded, a hint of deceit in his eyes.

"Okay, I'm done!"

Gu Bing took a deep breath, he drank the other party's poison, and there was no way out. Especially when the other party also made a condition to be an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, he couldn't refuse such an honor.

"Give him the prepared items!"

With a wave of the old man's hand, the black-clothed man under his command immediately walked over and handed over a bamboo slip.

After Gu Bing finished reading it, his face changed greatly.

The old man's tone became extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Since he is working for the people of Chang'an, he naturally can't let Wang Lei have a good time." Follow the arrangement on the bamboo slip, and I will send someone to cooperate with you. ”

"Yes!"

Gu Bing gritted his teeth, got up and left the residence.

At noon that day, a news came out of a wine shop in Ye County.

A scholar entered the top 100 and planned to go out in Jizhou, and when he went to sign up early in the morning, he met a few soldiers at the registration point. Seeing this, the soldier wanted to snatch the soldier's fiancée. However, the woman was so strong that she crashed into the soldier and died in front of him, and the soldier was unsuccessful, and after beating the soldier, he drove the scholar away. When Wang Lei learned the news, he did not punish the soldiers who made mistakes, and issued an expulsion order to drive the scholars out of Jizhou.

When the news came out, under the impetus of people with hearts, the people of the entire Ye County knew about it.

For a time, Wang Lei was pushed to the forefront.

Things developed further, and the scholars who planned to work for Wang Lei withdrew one after another, and did not plan to become a professional in Ye County. Not only that, these scholars united to denounce Wang Lei and let Wang Lei return justice to the scholars.
