Daqing Criminal Division

Ming Bo's surname is Duan, and he worked as a domestic slave in Duan's family for 30 years until Duan Ou was born.

He has a daughter named Aqiao.

He only lived to be 12 years old, and he didn't even survive his 13th birthday.

At that time, Duan Xiao himself was only ten years old, and Ming Bo brought such a young girl home, and he followed him like a family member.

Due to some reasons, Duan Xiao could not marry a wife for life, which is unbelievable to ordinary people.

But as long as you know a little about Duan Xiao's life experience, you should know why he has been like this all his life.

If you understand, you can understand why he is such a person.

Duan Xiao has been intelligent since he was a child, and he didn't like to laugh when he was very young. He was given high expectations since he was born, and he himself never did things that young people like.

Also because he himself was born with that invisible disease, the entire Duan family was born under the torment of that disease, and became a puppet manipulated to hurt relatives in turn.

All the 'tragedies' that happened to the Duan family back then were silently watched by Uncle Ming.

Whenever he appeared, Duan Xiao always had injuries on his body and hands, and he just endured it stubbornly. He never wanted his mother who only lived in the inner courtyard to know, and he always just hid.

"Never tell anyone what happened today, and also, you saw me like this."

Uncle Ming still remembers the words that came out of the mouth of the young man with a pale face and bruised body who curled up by the wall every time he let Uncle Ming show his injuries.

He is afraid that he has never said a word of begging to others in his life.

But he begged Ming Bo not to tell others what he was like now.

"Because, I have an ambition in my heart."

"...In the future, no matter what happens, I will achieve it, so I must stick to it now."

ambition?

Uncle Ming didn't understand why such a young man would say such words so persistently.

But overcome the weakness in human nature.

Do not succumb to fate.

Living like a normal person under the light is what every Duan family has wanted in their hearts.

But at the same time, Ming Bo also knew.

A matter of fate is also the most unpredictable thing in the world.

Ming Bo once thought that maybe one day the suffering in front of him finally ended, and Duan Xiao, who had gone through so many bad things, would embark on a smooth road.

But this day is not so smooth sailing.

That is, a big hurdle that Duan Owl will never bring up in his life.

In the past, Yanzhou had a vast land and rich resources. Sejong traveled once in seven years, and half of the living people on the ground were reduced. This common saying is also a real civil catastrophe that happened in Sejong's seven years.

Unlike the locust disasters and waterlogging disasters recorded in ancient books, this catastrophe that shakes the ground and shakes the mountains and rivers, even the imperial court did not expect such a disaster.

Earthquake without warning.

Once the world falls, the world will suffer.

It is not simply the life of one person, or the lives of several people.

If you move, you will be damaged, and no one can bear that responsibility.

But unexpectedly, at this time, the grain and grass that should have been transported in the capital were replaced by soil clods. No one knew who replaced the soil clods filled in the rice noodles, but the people of Yanzhou were besieged. One of the grain and grass depots was prepared on the Xiaojinshan battlefield.

For this reason, Duan Xiao's mother deliberately dragged her old body, and came all the way to her son's house and knelt at the gate of the government office, begging her son to save his family somehow.

That day, the old lady, who had been dependent on her son since she was a child, looked a little pitiful with her gray hair starting from the roots.

She is using the dignity of being a wife of a clan all her life, and everyone is looking at the outside of Bingfang Mansion, only asking the person inside to save the Duan family.

But Duan Xiao never opened the door for her.

He is the most ruthless person in the world.

Not only to everyone, but also to himself.

Even in the face of his own mother, he can never soften his heart, and only makes up his mind to do what he wants to do.

She returned to Yanzhou and asked the remaining servants in the clan to sell the precious ancient books saved for generations at a low price for money and porridge, but even so, it did not save everyone.

The old lady has always been like this in her life, just like her son.

Even if suffering is always oneself, one never wants others to suffer. This is the obsession in the heart of this school, and it is also the whole meaning of the term "family integrity".

But this was the last time the old lady and Duan Xiao met in this life.

The old lady was heartbroken, and she also resented the Duan family, making her a mother, a wolf-hearted person who was forgotten by everyone.

The mother and son became lifelong enemies.

Everyone in the world knows that Duan Yuheng is a person who can be ruthless even when his biological mother kneels down and begs him.

The famine in Yanzhou that killed countless people has continued since then. Because Mrs. Duan sold her property to save people, many people along the way were able to survive the most difficult two months.

At the same time, there is another person who insists.

That is Duan Xiao himself.

Sejong was an emperor who wholeheartedly abolished the gentry class, treated Manchu and Han courtiers equally, and attached great importance to farming throughout his life.

Although his political career was extremely short.

Only 13 short years.

But left behind countless moments of glory.

He was always willing to give a chance to any talented courtier in the world, and he would also be willing to give this unknown young man in the court a chance to save the world.

Everything afterwards proved that Sejong's choice was not wrong.

Every move Duan Xiao gave was saving Yanzhou's lives in the fastest time possible. He did not deliberately show his contribution from the beginning to the end, but he used his persistence to save the last one in the disaster. Fields that could be destroyed.

The fields are still there, and the mountains and rivers are still there.

Human life is still there.

After the disaster, new things that can sustain the lives of the people can be planted under the condition of food shortage.

The famine caused by the earthquake in Yanzhou is finally about to see the light of day.

But before that, something happened.

That is, Ah Qiao is dead.

It was an accident that no one expected, because among so many people who wanted to survive, some people would not be able to survive this disaster.

Among them, Uncle Ming's daughter was one of them who couldn't survive.

Because at that time, the people in Yanzhou were so hungry that they even ate up the turf, and the weak little girl's intestines were starved.

Under such circumstances, he ate the Avalokitesvara soil that killed people in a state of famine.

Waiting for a sigh of relief with half a bowl of porridge, but after the little girl became incontinent, feces and urine that could not be contained at all still flowed out of her pants.

Avalokitesvara soil is something that people will eat when there is a famine.

This thing is extremely vicious, once it enters the stomach and drinks water, it can't be pulled out again, and it can only be strangled to death.

She still has a skeleton that hasn't grown, she hasn't had time to get married, and she doesn't even have a girl who likes anyone, yet she will be starved to death, dying like a walking dead.

She didn't really know what it was.

She was just very hungry, her hungry eyes were black, her hands and feet had no strength, and she really couldn't take it anymore, so she saw people eating this quietly outside, so she followed the big guy to pick it up and eat it.

Because she couldn't bear to eat all of it, she only ate a bite or two when she was extremely hungry, thinking of bringing it back and steaming it for Dad and Duan Xiao.

But after eating that thing, how could it survive.

Duan Xiao and Ming Bo thought of many ways, but they couldn't save them. The doctors came to see them and said that if they had high-quality polished rice, they might be able to save their lives by hanging them.

Polished rice, in this season, the priceless polished rice cannot be bought even with silver.

In the end, they had no choice but to run all over Yanzhou City in the middle of the night. At dawn, Duan Xiao took the pearls on his flower feathers and finally exchanged them for half a bag of polished rice.

But that night, Aqiao, who couldn't stand the stomachache, hid secretly by herself, and ate the last mouthful of Guanyin soil with water.

No one knows how a girl at such a young age was determined to commit suicide in such a painful and tragic way.

But by dawn, she was out of breath.

After months of torment and suffering that forced people to die, she was finally completely relieved. She didn't eat the extravagant polished rice, but she closed her eyes just like that.

Uncle Ming hugged his daughter's body and cried until his heart broke.

But at the same time, Ming Bo, who is the only one who knows the truth, knows that in this world, he can blame anyone but Duan Xiao.

Because when others were hungry, Duan Xiao didn't eat anything, not even a bite.

He left all he could eat to Ming Bo and others, so that because of this painful torture, he fell into the disease that he couldn't talk about in his life.

First, I couldn't eat any food due to excessive mental pressure.

After several episodes later, he would vomit and tremble uncomfortably as long as he ate a bite of normal food.

The doctor only said that what Duan Xiao was suffering from was not a disease at all, but a heart disease.

Heterophagia.

If it wasn't for Duan Xiao himself, he would have been an ordinary person struggling to survive the last sliver of life in that catastrophe.

How could he fall into such a miserable state.

And the most tragic thing is that he has been trying to resist the fate of change, and it still falls on him in the end.

He couldn't truthfully tell anyone about his own pain, about his own struggles, not even his mother, and could only bury it all deep in his body, which was just a boy.

Is Duan Xiao really selfish enough to want to be an official?

Is Duan Xiao really so cold that he doesn't want to save everyone here?

No, no, he really wasn't like that.

It is fate.

It is the most unpredictable destiny in the world.

That little girl, Aqiao, was dying.

Zeng looked at Duan Xiao's star-like eyes and kept crying. She seemed to be telling him, please don't live so painfully for others in the future.

You are only 21 years old this year, so young, you will have a long time to come.

He really shouldn't have suffered so much all his life.

Really shouldn't, he is such a good person.

That night, in Ming Bo's memory, Duan Xiao, who was only 21 years old, sat alone in the dark place of that memory for a long time.

When Ming Bo saw him again, he looked thinner and paler than the dead A Qiao, so skinny that he was in his 20s, but he seemed tired and numb and wanted to die.

The shackles on his body have been removed.

But the shackles in his heart are far from over.

Darkness and coldness enveloped him, making his throat unable to breathe for many years.

He had already shed every tear in his life when he was young.

Because he told himself never to shed a single tear in this life, until this moment, when his whole body seemed to be in agony and was about to die in a second, he didn't have a single tear.

But he couldn't eat anything normal anymore.

He also had no way to make himself face the current self well.

But Uncle Ming looked at him in a daze, and two lines of inexplicable tears rolled down his cheeks.

He knew that those dead lives were the only tear in the scalding blood in this 21-year-old body in front of him, the tear in Duan Ou's heart mottled and tormented like being skinned and boned.

Finally, the Yanzhou disaster is over.

Duan Xiao used his persistence to save tens of thousands of lives in the war, and won Sejong's highest award that year.

——Nanjun aircraft.

Duan Yuheng's name will soon be known to the world.

Compared with the initial victims, more people were saved in the end, and the famine that had continued to flood the land of Yanzhou finally came.

From now on, he will truly rise to the top.

Used by the Holy One to realize the ambition in his heart.

After hiding his edge for many years, when the day finally came, he took that step and went to the capital. It took him five full years to do one thing.

It is a happy thing to eradicate evil for the people and uphold justice.

Fish maw case.

That was the first case that made Duan Yuheng's name truly famous all over the world.

The corrupt official who was in prison and was later propped to death by Duan Xiao with handfuls of Guanyin soil.

The corrupt official who stuffed Wanguan's family wealth into the belly of the fish and caused the tragic death of the people of Yanzhou.

It was the man behind the scenes who caused the entire people of Yanzhou to fall into famine, so hungry that they could only eat Avalokitesvara soil, which caused him to have the habit of eating strange food.

When Duan Xiao was young, he always hoped to inherit the legacy of the Duan family ancestors in the future.

But in the end, on the day he really entered the officialdom, the first person he swung his knife to shovel was his enemy from that day.

The corrupt officials who killed the people of Yanzhou because of the famine died tragically.

Everyone's vengeance has been avenged, but Aqiao and those dead people in Yanzhou will never come back.

That young man who disappeared little by little in the past years, even the young man who just felt sad and wanted to hide alone will never come back.

There is only one Duan Yuheng left in this world.

He is a talented young man with the world in mind, and a former Jinshi appointed by Shizong himself. He turned his whole body into justice in the court, but he never returned to his hometown once in this life.

It was also this year that the last relative in Duan Xiao's life passed away.

The old lady also left, and he became a real loner.

But Ming Bo once thought that the old lady hated her son to the core.

Because when Duan Xiao took that step back then, the old lady was so angry that she became dazed, cursing him every day to die quickly, telling him to get out forever, and not to go home again for the rest of his life.

But before the old lady was about to pass away, she said a very strange thing to the servants who were serving her around her in a serious illness. obvious places.

The kind that anyone can see her spirit card at a glance as soon as anyone pushes the door and walks in.

Every day, she was waiting for someone to step through the gate of this ancestral house and come in. No one knew, but right in front of the spiritual tablet was a pair of calligraphy characters hanging in front of the main hall of the old house of the Duan family.

The immature calligraphy was copied from a poem by a Song Dynasty poet, "Poems of a Child Prodigy".

The pair of calligraphy characters hanging in front of the hall, facing the memorial tablet of my mother Duan Lang, is like an old lady with her hair in a bun while reciting heart scriptures, facing all the plain and old things in the mourning hall. back view.

She probably knew in her heart that her son would never come back again.

They were all too stubborn to say a word of forgiveness, or a word of reconciliation.

Even the most basic love between mother and child is hard to say.

So she just stayed in Yanzhou and waited in the wind and rain every day.

One day when he finally came home, she was no longer there, and he would definitely have to walk through this door from the outside. At that time, when he opened the door, his mother would be able to sit at the door and see this scene for the first time.

In front of the hall, there seemed to be such a faint call, but it didn't seem to exist.

Only the tablet still placed in front of the door of Mrs. Duan's house, and the pair of "Child Prodigy Poems" facing the portrait of the old lady in front of the tablet are still there.

【"To be Tian Shelang in the morning, and to go to the Tianzitang in the evening. There is no such thing as a general, and a man should be self-improvement."】

["Study is the treasure of the body, Confucianism is the treasure on the table, and you think that as the prime minister, you must use scholars."]

【"Don't make mistakes in Taoism and Confucianism. Poetry and books are worthy of others. If you are enlightened, you will be good to the world. If you are poor, you will be good at yourself."】

This is the requirement of the Duan family for the ambitions of the children in the family.

It was also written by Duan Ou when he was a child and could write calligraphy for the first time.

But in Ming Bo's heart, he still wanted to say something sincerely to Duan Xiao.

Master Nanjunji.

You've done really well over the years.

All along, you have really done a lot of good things for the people and the world, and one day you will really come back and take a rest.

Like you when you were young, you will be happy and unhappy, just like a real enthusiastic, cheerful, sincere and bright young man.

Because you are the most steadfast person in the world.

Tribulations like these will make him, not destroy you.

You are the most dazzling Yuheng star in the bright moon sky, always, always stride forward fearlessly.

You have truly achieved your teenage ambitions.

Until then, the old events in Yanzhou can wipe away the scars left on everyone's hearts.

The last peace and tranquility left by Sejong in 13 years is still there after all.

In the past, the glorious years in those years, all the old things that happened there have finally really passed——

The author has something to say: recommend a bg: "Death" Lin Hai

This is Duan Xiao's solo story.

It is also in the prologue, about the fish maw case that he became famous in the past, and the reason why he used such a cruel method of Guanyintu to kill people.

Nan Junji has never been made famous by others, but by himself.

In fact, even he himself can't judge his past, but maybe after death is a new life, so this life should always move forward firmly, Duan Yuheng.
