Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1479, end

On the train from the capital to the Western Regions, Zhang Cai looked at the white-capped world outside the window, her face was expressionless, and she didn't feel the joy of being promoted at all.

It is not a big deal to travel thousands of miles to Beibing Mansion in the Northwest Province. The transportation in Daming is quite convenient now. You can take the train from the capital to Yili, the capital of the Western Regions.

It is said that Yili is still going west to build railways. There are three lines respectively. The south line goes to Nanyun Province through Hezhong, the middle line goes to Central Asia Province (a new province established on the basis of the original Kazakh Khanate), and the north line goes to Nanyun Province. It is repaired northward to Winter City, the capital of Northwest Province (a new province established on the basis of the Siberian Khanate).

However, it is winter now, and the construction is very slow. The train can only reach Ili at present, and the rest of the road needs to be taken in a four-wheeled carriage.

Fortunately, the concrete road leading to Central Asia Province has been built from Yili, and you can sit here comfortably. Afterwards, there will be no concrete road to Winter City, and you need to go to Winter City in the heavy snow.

After arriving at Winter City, you still need to continue north to the Arctic Mansion. Although the Arctic Mansion is the state capital, but because it is extremely close to the Arctic Circle, although the territory is vast, the population is very sparse. Ten thousand criminals were exiled to Beibing Mansion.

Going to such a place to serve as the magistrate, the days can be imagined, not to mention the oil and water, it is still unknown whether he can come back alive.

The weather is cold and freezing, and more than half of the year is spent in winter, and the remaining half of the time, even in summer, is almost the same as autumn in the capital, very short.

In such a place, there are no people and no money, and every day should not be called the earth.

"Woooo~woooo~"

Opposite Zhang Cai, Zhang Cai’s wife is crying non-stop, and on the seat next to him, his concubines are also pear blossoms and rainy at this time, thinking of going to the faraway Arctic that is not known in that corner of the world House, they were all weeping.

"Master, why don't we go, we just don't want to be an official, why don't we go home and live a good life? We must go to the cold place to suffer."

Zhang Cai's wife Wang said in tears.

This time when I went to Beibing Mansion, I didn't bring the child with me, but I entrusted it to my brother at home to take care of it.

Before I went to Beibing Mansion, I already recruited people to find out the situation in Winter City and Beibing Mansion. The cold there can penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and it can be so cold that you will never forget it.

The Liaodong area is nothing compared to where.

"Don't go?"

"Impossible~ I have worked hard for [-] years, and finally got the gold list title. After years of hard work, I finally reached the fourth-rank level. You want us to stop being officials now and go back to retire?"

"This is impossible!"

Zhang Cai said very decisively.

He is ambitious, and he will never be content with a small fourth-rank official.

But if he doesn't go to Beibing mansion to work now, he can only resign and go home. This is definitely the last ending he wants.

He is only in his fifties now, and politically speaking, he is still very young. It is better to kill him than to ask him to go back to retire now.

Therefore, even if the Arctic Mansion is hell, he will resolutely go there.

"I don't believe it anymore. His Liu Jin can always cover the sky with one hand, the moon is full but the loss is, and the tree attracts the wind. He Liu Jin has already become an extremely human minister at a young age, and he will definitely not last long."

"At that time, I will have a chance to stand up!"

Zhang Cai's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists tightly. Thinking of Liu Jin, he wished to kill him, and his eyes were full of envy and hatred.

Zhang Cai was still only a fourth-rank official in his fifties, and Liu Jin was already a second-rank official minister in his thirties. He was more popular than others.

The reason why he colluded with Jiao Fang to criticize and slander Liu Jin was due to Jiao Fang's promise on the one hand, and his envy and jealousy towards Liu Jin on the other.

Why is he, Liu Jin, able to rise to the top? In just ten years, he has become the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, with a high position and authority. The celebrity in front of the emperor has already achieved this step in his thirties.

And I also worked hard to study hard, and in my fifties, I was still a fourth-rank official, and I was just promoted, otherwise I used to be a fifth-rank official.

"My lord, we can't beat him. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the second rank. Master, you are now the magistrate of the fourth rank."

Wang said weeping.

"Woman, what do you know~"

"I'm just lacking in luck. Once the luck comes, I will be able to ride the wind, and he, Liu Jin, is nothing more than that."

Zhang Cai looked at his wife and reprimanded, "If you don't want to go, get off at the next stop."

"Master, I marry a chicken as a chicken and a dog as a dog. Wherever you go, I will naturally go."

"It's just that in the Beibing Mansion, I heard that many of the prisoners who were exiled there were directly frozen to death, and many had their noses, ears, hands and feet lost."

"I'm just worried about you, sir."

When Wang heard this, she immediately said helplessly.

Women in this era basically will never change once they get married. Marry a chicken as a chicken and a dog as a dog.

Even if you used to be a rich lady, now you are married to a poor scholar, you still have to learn how to wash and cook.

What's more, Zhang Cai is also a court official of the fourth rank, even if he is brought to Beibing mansion now, he is still a court official.

"Don't worry~ Everything will be done in its own way."

Zhang Cai replied indifferently, looking out of the window.

The vast land, covered with snow, listen to the whistle of the train, and look at the smoke rising from the villages in the distance. If it is in the capital, it must be another scene.

……

In the prison of the capital city, with the advent of a heavy snowfall, the whole capital city suddenly became much colder.

Jiao Fang, who was already in her seventies, looked at the heavy snow outside the window and heard the howling cold wind, and she was filled with emotion.

Think back on your own life.

When I was young, my family was poor, and it was very difficult to study.

At the age of thirty, he was named on the gold list and won the Jinshi, but the ranking was very low, and he could not enter the Imperial Academy, which meant that it would be difficult to improve in the future.

Fortunately, Li Xian, a bachelor at that time, was his fellow countryman. Relying on this relationship, coupled with serving Li Xian as a slave and servant, he sent his wife to Li Xian as a maid. Recommended, entered Hanlin.

After he came out of the Imperial Academy, his official career was very magnanimous. He was promoted all the way, and coupled with unscrupulous means, he achieved the position of Minister of Rites.

But now, he was immediately beaten back to the prototype.

Wearing prison clothes, in this cold winter, his face turned blue, his whole body was trembling, and the snot came down in fistfuls, and he was in a terrible state.

"Haha~haha~"

"It's a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket, but in the end, there is nothing left."

Jiao Fang couldn't help but burst into tears.

Thinking of his own life, in order to get promoted, he really used all means. He even gave his wife to sleep, and exhausted all kinds of means.

In the end, he finally got such an end.

"Dad~Dad~"

In the next cell, the scorched man curled up in the straw heard Jiao Fang's laughter, and he cheered up and shouted.

Jiao Huangzhong, who was ignorant and inexperienced and loved by Jiao Fang since he was a child, still doesn't look like a noble son, and he is extremely embarrassed.

Her hair is disheveled, her body is covered with straw, and she is no longer as domineering and arrogant as before. What she hopes most now is to have a warm enough quilt for her to sleep well.

"Liu Jin'er~Liu Jin'er~"

"You must die~"

"I curse your whole family to death~"

"And Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Zhang Mao, Xiao Jing, you all will die."

"You and your family will die in a bad way."

Jiao Fang ignored her son Jiao Huangzhong, but began to curse loudly again outside the window.

Thinking of what happened to him now, he wanted to point at the noses of several people and swear, but after a while, he stopped suddenly, as if no one listened to his swearing, and thought it was meaningless.

"Father, it's already this time, let's find a way to go out first, you have scolded them all, can we still go out?"

Jiao Huangzhong next to him said with snot and tears.

"It's all about you, a worthless thing~"

"It took me a lifetime to get into Juren, but I couldn't get into the Jinshi exam. That's why I'm here today."

"If I had known today, I should have beaten you to death back then, so as not to implicate me."

Jiao Fang looked at her son Jiao Huangzhong, and immediately cursed again.

If in the past, he loved his son very much, he would not be willing to scold him, so he developed Jiao Huangzhong's arrogant, fierce, arrogant and ignorant character.

But now, Jiao Fang can't wait to strangle her ineffective son to death with her own hands. He is fifty years old and doesn't understand anything. He fell to Liu Jin, but Liu Jin didn't fall, but he himself fell first.

"Dad~Dad~"

"If you want to beat or scold, you'd better wait until you get out. Now, let's find a way to get out first. I can't bear the cold anymore. It's too cold in this prison."

Jiao Huangzhong cried and said, rubbing his hands constantly while talking, curled up on the straw, and wrapped the thin quilt tightly.

"Liu Jin'er, Liu Jin'er~"

"If you treat me like this, you will be punished in the future~"

"Xie Qian, your whole family is dead~"

"Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, you must die~"

Jiao Fang ignored her son, but continued to curse, as if she wanted to take revenge on Liu Jin, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others in this way.

"This servant Jiao, his mouth really stinks~"

The guards in the prison couldn't help shaking their heads while drinking warm wine while listening to Jiao Fang's scolding. These days, Jiao Fang scolded for an hour or two every day, and they were already tired of hearing it.

"Whatever, drink, drink~"
