The Han Empire has a wide area, Emperor Wu set up thirteen state departments, each set up a thorn history, when the emperor became an emperor, changed the thorn history to the state pastor, and then abandoned impermanence. Today's son, Liu Hong, has restored his name as the state pastor. The thirteen states in the world are Sizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, each county under its jurisdiction is different, the highest governor of each county is called Taishou, and each county is in charge of different counties. In the past, the Huns sighed and said: If the thirteen states in the world are not broken, the Han will not die, which is enough to see the importance of the thirteen states to the Han Empire. The Han Empire's distant official system is also quite interesting, called the inspection system, first by the counties and counties of the old selection of gentle and filial piety people to participate in the examination, the test questions by the state uniform, and finally hire people with excellent grades, regardless of high and low, giving many poor scholars the opportunity to jump into the dragon gate.

There is a dilapidated thatched hut in Taiyi Village, Julu County, Jizhou, and three brothers are crowded into this thatched hut, the eldest is called Zhang Jiao, the second is called Zhang Bao, and the third is called Zhang Liang. Zhang Jiao this day, get up early and take out a white robe that he regards as a treasure and wear it on his body, Zhang Jiao gently stroked this clothes, this is when he went out to study, his father sold a cow in the family to buy clothes for him, so many years he has been reluctant to wear, a few days ago the county held an examination, he passed the first place in the assessment and was recommended as Maocai by the elders, today he went to the Taishou Mansion to report, from then on he can enter the official career, receive the imperial court Lu. Zhang Jiao looked at the walls around him that had already been tattered, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, he could finally leave this small and dark room, he didn't dare to have too much expectations for the future career, he only hoped that this money could make himself and his two brothers not suffer from cold and hunger, and the three of them hugged each other every winter, and they couldn't resist the biting cold, Zhang Jiao secretly clenched his fists and walked out of the house with his head held high.

Walking on the streets of the county town, the three brothers looked left and right, everything in this city was so beautiful. Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang came to the county town for the first time, the two of them were intoxicated and smelled the fragrance from the wine shop, and they forgot to wipe the saliva without staying, "It's so fragrant, big brother, wait for you to get the money, let's go eat some good ones, I want to eat ten steamed buns"

Zhang Jiao's face was full of helplessness, his two younger brothers who had no interest, he reached out and dragged the two younger brothers, "You two are more serious, you will be in the Taishou Mansion in a while"

"Got it, Lady Maocai!" The two replied in unison with a smile on their faces

The three of them came to the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and there was a row of sergeants standing with guns in front of the gate, Zhang Jiao stepped forward and said respectfully to a leader-like person, "Master Jun, please report it, the villain Mao is just opening his horns, asking to see Lord Taishou"

"Oh?" The leader looked Zhang Jiao up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Are you this Maocai?" ”

"It's the villain!"

"Good! You wait here, I'll have someone go and report to you," he turned and commanded a sergeant to walk into the Taishou Mansion to report.

Julu County Taishou is called Zhao Zhi, and Zhao Zhi himself does not have any outstanding talents, but he has a distant cousin named Zhao Zhong, who is one of the ten permanent servants of the dynasty. At this time, Zhao Zhi was sitting in the back hall, looking at a small box of jade on several cases, and asked, "What does this mean, Master Chen?" ”

"Hehe, my lord, my deceased wife has always had a wish, she has always hoped that my child can be a Maocai, but this child is not a reading material, so I want to ask adults to help" The person who spoke was Chen Ping, a jewelry merchant from Julu County, and next to him stood a brightly dressed young descendant who was his only son Chen Peng.

Zhao Zhi took out a piece of jewelry and put it in his hand and played with it, "This, you also know that the elder has recommended the candidate for Maocai, and it has been announced, I ...... it" Zhao Zhi hesitated.

"After the adults are completed, there will be three more boxes to offer" Chen Ping hurriedly increased the price while the iron was hot.

"Six Boxes"

"Okay, then it's up to the adults" Chen Ping smiled wickedly,

Zhao Zhi was stunned, he really wanted to give himself a mouth, it seemed that he was going to be less, this Chen Ping really deserved to be the head of the profiteers in Julu County, but he was not talking nonsense, he picked up the teacup casually, "Come, drink tea"

"My lord, please" Chen Ping smiled, he knew that this matter was done. At this time, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and Chen Ping looked up and saw that it was a sergeant on duty

"Lord Qiqi, there is Maocai at the gate of the mansion and asks to see him"

"Poof," Zhao Zhi squirted out with a sip of tea, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Maocai Zhangjiao"

"Have you had your brain eaten by a dog? This Chen Gongzi is Maocai! You go and blow people away! ”

"This" sergeant was a little confused, because Chen Peng knew that he was a rich man, who didn't learn every day, and took a group of fox friends and dog friends to bully men and women in Julu all day long, he was Maocai, so wasn't he too guarded? The sergeant was thinking about it when a teacup flew over and smashed on him, "Are you deaf?" Do you want to repeat it? ”

The sergeant was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed, "My subordinates don't dare"

"Then don't you go !! soon"

"Yes" the sergeant bowed his head and prepared to leave

"Wait a minute, Lord Zhao, I want to meet this military master with me," Chen Peng said with a bow to Zhao Zhi

"Go ahead! Go ahead! As long as no one dies! "Zhao Zhi stroked his forehead with his hand and said Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame yourself for being poor!

Outside the door of the house, Zhang Jiao is waiting,

"Why hasn't my eldest brother come yet, I'm hungry," Zhang Liang asked Zhang Jiao while sitting on the steps outside the mansion gate.

Zhang Jiao just smiled, his younger brother is really an anxious son, the footsteps came, Zhang Jiao looked up, and saw that the sergeant had returned, and the young offspring in splendid clothes who followed the sergeant should be a staff member, he became a staff member of the county guard government at such a young age, it is not simple, he must have a good relationship, Zhang Jiao thought.

"Master Jun, my lord, the villain Mao is only Zhang Jiao, polite" Zhang Jiao straightened his clothes and bowed deeply to the two

"Hey, hey, you're Maocai, so what am I?" Zhang Jiao heard the young junior say, and his tone was full of sarcasm

"This?" Zhang Jiao didn't know why, and he didn't know how to continue, the scene was a little embarrassing, Chen Peng walked up to Zhang Jiao and put his face close to "What, don't you know who I am?" ”

"Forgive me for being clumsy in the lower eyes" Zhang Jiao lowered his head and was polite,

"Hahaha" Chen Peng laughed wildly, "In the next?" Chen Pengfei kicked Zhang Jiao's chest, "A pariah like a pig and a dog, he is also worthy of a scholar to speak?!" ”

Zhang Jiao was originally a scholar, his body was weak, Chen Peng's kick actually kicked Zhang Jiao out in the air, after opening the corner, he struggled to get up, the blood in his mouth kept vomiting, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Chen Peng, "You, you, you and I have no grievances, why do you fist and kick me"

"No grievances and no hatred, I was in Wunan Village back then, did you do a good thing to me?" Chen Peng's face was hideous, "What, I can't remember?" ”

Zhang Jiao's expression was pale, when he returned from his studies that year, he passed by Wunan Village and saw a group of rich children molesting a woman there, Zhang Jiao was angry, and with his excellent dialectics, he encouraged the villagers who had long been angry, and drove all the rich children away, "It turned out to be you!" ”

"Yes, it's Ben Gongzi, you nosy dog, I've been looking for you for so many years, I want you to know that in Julu County, the person who dares to mess with Ben Gongzi hasn't been born yet!" Chen Peng looked proud: "Do you know what happened to those villagers?" The corners of Chen Peng's mouth moved slightly, and he said, "They are all dead!" Hahaha, hahaha, do you know what happened to the girl you saved? She's the worst of all! ”

"You beast" Zhang Jiao frantically pounced on Chen Peng, Chen Peng smiled and dodged, "You are attacking the imperial court officials"

"Brute, phew" Zhang Jiao took advantage of Chen Peng's self-absorption and spit saliva mixed with blood on Chen Peng's face.

"Ahh You're damned! Chen Peng screamed like a woman, his hands wanted to wipe but disgusted, "I'm going to kill you!! "Chen Peng is like a mad dog

"Bump!"

Zhang Liang took advantage of Chen Peng's defenselessness and punched Chen Peng in the face, and Zhang Bao had already helped Zhang Jiao up.

"You little white face is crooked, I've put up with you for a long time" Zhang Liang was unforgiving, and his fists were all punched in Chen Peng's face, "Let you beat my big brother, let you beat my big brother"

A group of sergeants guarded by the county guard were there to watch the excitement, this Chen Peng was originally a rich kid who did all kinds of evil, and they were happy to see Chen Peng suffer a little.

Zhang Liang became more and more ferocious, Chen Peng's white little face was long gone, his nose was crooked, and he was blue and purple.

"What are you all looking at? Come and help me, my dad has money, kill them, my dad will give you a lot of money! Chen Peng pleaded with the sergeants.

Some of the sergeants were a little shaken, after all, the name of the son of the richest man in Julu County would definitely be worth a lot of money, they looked at their leader, and the leader nodded at everyone, because he had already guessed the whole thing just now, the Chen family spent money to buy the quota of Maocai, this Zhang Jiao is already a wasted person, no, looking at the fact that he offended the Chen family today, there will be no place for him in Julu County in the future. "Don't blame me" The leader whispered to himself, "It's your misfortune to live in this chaotic world"

The guards of Julu County have surrounded the three brothers, several sergeants stepped forward and knocked Zhang Liang to the ground, Chen Peng took out a sword and stabbed Zhang Liang in the chest, blood stained the "big brother" Zhang Liang struggled to stretch out his hand in the direction of Zhang Jiao, and finally slipped weakly

"Third brother!!" Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao was hysterical, tears had already blurred his vision, Zhang Bao shouted and rushed up, but he was also thrown to the ground by a sword through his chest.

Chen Peng took the sword and walked towards Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao was disillusioned at this time, knelt on the ground and looked up to the sky and shouted, "Heavens!" Open your eyes and take a look at the world! What is wrong with us to punish us like this!! What's wrong with us!! ”

"Heavens? It's already dead."

As the blade passed through his chest, at the moment when his consciousness was about to dissipate, he heard the words, and before plunging into endless darkness, he saw the person who spoke swaying in the wind, a pair of eyes without any emotion, looking down at him, as beautiful as a woman.

"It turns out that the impermanence of life is also like this, beauty?" After saying that, Zhang Jiao's body fell, and the darkness was as boring as this dirty world!
