Wu Dao, the superintendent of Runan County, was ordered to arrest Fan Fan, but when he arrived at the post station in Zhengqiang County, he closed the gate of the post station and cried on the bed with the edict in his arms, because he did not want to arrest Fan Fan. But after Fan Fan heard about it, in order not to embarrass him, he took the initiative to report to the county prison; The county commander Guo Yi was very surprised to see Fan Peng take the initiative to go to prison, and while dropping the county official seal, he was about to flee with Fan Fan, he said to Fan Fan: "The world is so big, where can I not live in peace?" How can you be willing to go to jail? Fan Fan replied, "How can I affect you because of me?" And if I run away, what will happen to my old mother? Fan Fan said goodbye to his mother before being sentenced: "My younger brother Zhongbo has always been very filial, enough to support his mother for the rest of his life, and his son is willing to go down to the Yellow Spring from his father Long Shujun!" This death is worth it, and I only hope that my mother will not grieve." Fan Fan's mother said, "You have to be on the same level as Li and Du now, what do you hate when you die?" Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult, since I want to keep my name, I don't expect you to support me in the old age! After bowing to the ground, Fan said goodbye to his mother and followed Wu Dao into prison, where he was finally beaten to death.

Dou Wu committed suicide, Chen Fan was beaten to death, and now Li Ying is dead, Fan Fan is also dead, and there are more than 100 intellectuals who were killed by eunuchs this time, and their wives and children were sent to the frontier and deprived of political rights for life. Three years ago, in the party incident in the era of Emperor Huan, more than 200 people were imprisoned, and now, there are more than 100 literati intellectuals who have been killed.

Of course, there are also fish that slip through the net, such as Guo Tai in "Eight Gu", although this person likes to talk about human ethics, but he did not exactly point out that it was the eunuch who broke the discipline, so he was spared! It seems that the feudal era was by no means a democratic society, and freedom of speech was not promoted, and if you offended the interests of some people by talking nonsense, then you should wait to be punished. The era of the rule of the eunuchs, it was really the era of the reign of terror, even if you are not used to it, you have to pretend to look pleasing to the eye, if you can sing the praises of virtue against your will, then maybe you can be promoted, if you are not willing to sing the praises of virtue, then it is okay, go through a formalistic process with the eunuchs, then you will not suffer, in short, you can't say that the eunuch group is not good!

Ay! In that era when eunuchs had the final say, I can only use the word fear to describe the feelings of intellectuals at that time, dozens of times more cruel than closing the cowshed and being criticized, because there are spies everywhere on the street and at home, always paying attention to your every move, if you have "improper" caught by it, then you may disappear secretly, and no one knows where you are!

But there are also people who have escaped the pursuit of the spies, and Zhang Jian in "Eight And" is one of them. It is also strange to say that the "Party Rebellion" incident in the era of Emperor Ling broke out because of the grudge between him and Hou Lan, who was of course the first person to get rid of him, and he has been staring at him since he wrote to accuse him of rebellion, but he doesn't know where the Hou spy was sloppy, and he actually lost people. So Zhang Jian hid all the way, this adult may really have a god possession at this time, and wherever he stays, the other party is willing to break the house and be compatible. One day, he ran to Donglai County, hid in Li Du's house, and Waihuang County ordered Mao Qin to lead troops to arrest him, but he didn't expect that Li Du was not a vegetarian, so he agitated a three-inch tongue, and Mao Qin sighed when he said it; Then he ran to Lu again, ready to defect to Confucius's 20th grandson Kong Bao, but he didn't expect Kong Bao to go out, just when Zhang Jian was about to leave, Kong Rong, the brother of Kong Bao, who was only 16 years old at the time, made the decision and hid Zhang Jian at home, and it didn't take long for the news to leak, Zhang Jian began his career of hide and seek; Kong Rong first pleaded guilty, "I left Zhang Jian at home, and it was none of my brother's business", Kong Rong didn't want his brother to suffer, so he said, "Although I was not at home at the time, Zhang Jian did come to me, and I should bear the responsibility", and even the brothers' mothers came out and said, "If something happens at home, it should be borne by the parents, and I am willing to accept the guilt and be punished". had to report to the imperial court, and the imperial court finally issued an edict to punish Kong Bao and release Kong Rong and his mother.

Zhang Jian ran out of Kong Rong's house and defected to Li Du in Beihai County, and Li Du took him to Xi Ziran's home in Beihai County. Later, it was not until the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to amnesty the party members, and Zhang Jian was able to return to his hometown, and later served as a guard captain until he died at the age of 84.

In addition to Zhang Jian, there are also people who have a more unique way of escaping, such as Xia Fu in "Eight Gu", he shaved his beard (the ancients believed that the hair and skin were given to his parents and could not be cut off), shaved his degree, hid in the deep mountains and old forests, incognito, became a boiler general, and dealt with coal every day, due to the excessive workload, Xia Fu's younger brother Xia Jing brought some clothes to see him, Xia Fu avoided it, he said: "You are causing trouble for me", so cautious, only to escape the search of the spies, However, due to the poor working environment and his weak physique, he soon died in the mountains and forests, and finally failed to live to the time when Emperor Ling granted amnesty to the party.

Xia Fu's way to avoid trouble, in fact, he is not the only one who thought of it, Yuan An's great-grandson Yuan Hong thought of this method, but the old mother is still there, it is not appropriate to make such a choice, what to do, he had to build a secret hut at home, this small room is set up very much like a prison cell, dark and hidden, there is no window, only a ventilation hole can be sent into the rice bowl, Yuan Hong has been hiding in this house for 18 years, his wife and children can't see him, as long as his mother comes, he will open the small vent and talk to his mother, Later, his mother died, and Yuan Hong closed this vent from then on, and no longer had any contact with the outside world, and finally Yuan Hong died in this room.

There is also a person named Shen Tupan, who predicted today's disaster very early, so he hid in the mountains and forests very early, lived in a tree hole, was self-sufficient, and stayed away from the government, so the disaster of the party did not affect him.

In fact, not all people are bad people, and not all people are good people. How exactly do you define whether people are good or bad? I think everyone will have their own standards, after all, you can't say that all the people who go to prison are bad guys, there is no merit at all, and you can't say that those big stars are good people, because some of them are addicted to drugs, and some people live depraved lives without principles; Of course, eunuchs are no exception, and the eunuch group is not all bad people, and not all eunuchs want to kill all the intellectuals and catch them all, because some scholars and doctors are also protected under the protection of eunuchs, such as the famous Chen Yu.

When Zhang Rang's father died, and when he was buried in Yingchuan County, all the officials of a county came to the funeral, but none of the celebrities came, just when Zhang Rang felt very faceless, Chen Yu came, satisfied Zhang Rang's vanity, and returned the favor.

As I said before, man's desire to survive is unlimited, and people will always encounter one kind or another existential crisis in their lives, and when this crisis comes, it will burst out with unprecedented potential, but the previous passage was written to the eunuch group, and now, I want to write him to the literati doctors who are suffering.
