Mass burial outside Ye County.

This place is rarely visited, but hyena often appears. During the martial arts period in Ye County, many warriors were killed, but no relatives claimed it. In the end, they were carried to mass graves and buried them after digging a pit.

Under the moonlit night, a strong figure quietly appeared.

He quickly walked to the mass grave. After stopping, he looked at the back. The man was holding a hoe and walking and stopping. Soon, he came to a grave where he had just buried. He threw down a sack. He bent his back, waved his hoe, and dug the grave. After digging out the corpse inside, he put the body on his shoulders and quickly disappeared into the night.

...

Gu Bing was from Chenliu, Yanzhou. He was from a poor family and was a poor scholar.

He raised bankruptcy. Gu Bing traveled all the way from Yanzhou to Ye County and participated in the Taoist discussion meeting. During the Taoist discussion, Gu Bing passed through the obstacles and defeated the enemy one after another. He entered the last hundred people and was able to enter the final Taoist discussion. Wang Lei's words at the venue during the day made Gu Bing ecstatic.

He can finally get rid of his status as a poor man.

The final discussion next. If he can get the praise from Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong and others, he will definitely go to the next level.

The opportunity to turn over was immediately placed in front of Gu Bing.

Originally, Gu Bing planned to register on the day Wang Lei announced the order, but he entered the final discussion and got great benefits. His friends around him asked him to treat him.

Helpless. Gu Bing had no choice but to respond.

Gu Bing and his friends were drunk and went to bed after returning to their residence.

I got up early the next morning and thought about signing up.

After washing up, Gu Bing went to the venue of the Taoist Conference. Here, Xinpi set up a registration location. Early in the morning, there was no Confucian scholar outside the venue. Especially after several days of fierce debate, there was enough time to rest at home. Moreover, most people had signed up yesterday. In the morning, there was little population.

However, the soldiers have arrived at the set location and are setting up a registration desk.

Gu Bing raised his head and strode forward.

"Hey, scholar, please help me lift this desk."

The busy soldier said without thinking about Gu Bing.

Gu Bing was stunned immediately. The expression on his face suddenly changed. His eyes instantly became arrogant and arrogant. He shouted loudly: "Bastard. I am here to register. I am going to become an official in Ye County. I am the master. You savage men actually asked me to move the table. What kind of morality is it."

He scolded him. He was arrogant.

That tone immediately angered the soldier who had just spoken. The soldier put down his work, rolled up his sleeves, and said angrily: "Arrogant and domineering. With your behavior, can you become an official?"

"The dog's eyes look down on people."

Gu Bing shook his sleeves and said disdainfully: "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. If you don't keep such a Ye County, it's better not to stay."

Immediately, Gu Bing turned around and left the venue.

The soldier was about to get angry immediately, but was pulled by his companions around him. He was persuaded and extinguished his anger. However, the anger in Gu Bing's heart was difficult to calm down. He had to participate in the discussion of Taoism next. Maybe it was the next Zheng Xuan and the next Cai Yong... His future was limitless. How could a mere soldier be able to insult him?

After Gu Bing left, he had just walked not far away and met someone. The man was not very old and thin. He walked to Gu Bing and stopped and whispered: "Mr. Gu, my master is welcome."

Gu Bing was stunned for a moment and immediately ordered: "Lead ahead."

After running all the way, about half a quarter of an hour, we arrived at an ordinary residence in West City. After the two entered, they did not find that there was a person jumping on the load quietly disappeared behind them.

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

This man is half a century old, with a long beard, tall and thin figure, narrow eyes, and a hint of cold light.

Gu Bing asked: "Who is your lord? What's the matter with me?"

The old man did not answer. Instead, he said slowly: "Mr. Gu Bing. Wang Lei's soldiers are arrogant and domineering. Similarly, Wang Lei is also extremely arrogant. He doesn't take scholars like you seriously. What do you think about this?"

Gu Bing snorted and said, "I have no idea."

The old man said, "If you don't have any ideas, you will not leave."

"You follow me." Gu Bing said.

The old man put his hands on his legs and said in a deep voice: "It's not about following. It's just that he will meet you."

Gu Bing said: "Since that's the case, what's the purpose of finding me?"

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

"I won't do it."

Gu Bing refused without thinking.

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 was just a poor man. It is absolutely impossible to take revenge on Wang Lei.

Once the identity is exposed, the consequences are unimaginable.

The old man's mouth curled up a cold look and said, "Will you be willing or not? It's not your final decision. Come and feed the medicine."

After the words came, two men in black walked out.

These men in black pressed Gu Bing down and poured the medicine into Gu Bing's mouth in a few seconds.

The strong smell of medicine spreads in the mouth.

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

The old man smiled gently and said without any haste: "It's just a poison from the Western Regions. It's a chronic poison. It can't die for the time being. As time goes by, the effect of the medicine will gradually be developed. You are obedient. I will give you the antidote. After things are done, I will send you to Chang'an and be an official at the feet of the emperor. Let you shine with your family."

Gu Bing changed his mind and said, "You are Li Ru's person."

"clever."

The old man nodded. A trace of deception appeared in his eyes.

"Okay. I've done it."

Gu Bing took a deep breath. He drank the other party's poison and had no way out. Especially the other party also offered conditions to be an official at the foot of the Chang'an emperor. He could not refuse such glory.

"Give him the items you have prepared."

The old man waved his hand and the man in black under his command immediately came and handed over a bamboo slip.

After reading it, Gu Bing's face changed drastically.

The old man's tone became extremely serious and said in a deep voice: "Since you are working for the people in Chang'an, you naturally can't let Wang Lei live a better life. Follow the arrangements on the bamboo slips. I will send someone to cooperate with you."

"yes."

Gu Bing gritted his teeth and stood up and left the residence.

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

A scholar entered the top 100. He planned to become an official in Jizhou. When he went to register early in the morning, he met several soldiers at the registration site. The soldiers were tempted and wanted to steal the scholar's fiancée. However, the woman was tough and fierce. She was hit and killed in front of the scholar. The soldiers were unsuccessful. After beating the scholar, they drove away the scholar. Wang Lei learned the news. It was not too much that he did not punish the soldiers who made the mistake. He also issued an expulsion order to drive the scholar out of Jizhou.

The news came out. With the promotion of those who are interested, everyone in Ye County knew about it.

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

Things further developed. The scholars who planned to serve Wang Lei had withdrawn one after another. They did not intend to become officials in Ye County. Not only that, these scholars united to denounce Wang Lei and let Wang Lei give justice to the scholars.
