Chapter 304 Uneasy
Wang Xianrui, forty-three years old.
Both of his parents were wealthy families in Liangzhou, with some land, but they were definitely not considered rich. Therefore, when he was studying, Wang Xianrui also studied at Yinglong College in Liangzhou. Although this was one of the colleges established by the emperors of the previous dynasty, the last two emperors of the previous dynasty almost did not care about these small colleges that belonged to remote prefectures and counties in their eyes.
Therefore, Yinglong Academy did not even have a famous teacher. Before the Liangzhou Army's mutiny, Yinglong Academy had completely become a college specializing in civil servants, and the teaching inside did not teach practice at all.
It was probably because it was too ordinary that after leaving Yinglong Academy, he became the third class official in Tianmen County who managed the restoration of old books. There was almost a blank space. This man spent thirty-seven years in a mediocre way and became a small official.
Then he ushered in the dynasty change. Because he happened to be from Liangzhou and his fellow villagers were all generals in the Liangzhou army, he was like a gangster and dog. In the past five years, he was finally promoted from a rank 3 official to a rank 7 official in the Imperial Medical Office.
But he still did not become an official in Jiankang City like his fellow villagers.
Jiankang was the center of the Southern Dynasties. When he was in his forties, he could not squeeze into such a circle and could not stay in Jiankang and the powerful and powerful forever. He was afraid that this career would soon be finally achieved.
He is now in charge of a state in Luzhou. In fact, he is only responsible for the editing of some ancient medical classics, and is still doing academic research.
Buddhist temples cannot cure diseases. After Xiao Yan ascended the throne in recent years, the most built Buddhist temples were built. They wanted to calm people's hearts and make people take compassion and forbearance as the basis. However, if the wars in the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties ended in the future and if the Southern Dynasties could win, many medical institutions should be built.
Therefore, officials like Wang Xianrui are more preparing for the long-term stability in the future. For the current Southern Dynasty, the functions of officials like him are very small. Even if they can compile and sort out some medical works every year, their role will be negligible.
......
In the morning light, a man from the north, like Bai Yuelu, was sitting in a slowly moving carriage, looking at the latest file about Wang Xianrui.
This man was over thirty years old. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, he usually wore a black suit covered with flowers, with a cold face and a cold temperament, which was often daunting. However, when walking in the Southern Dynasty, he wore a brocade suit, with a greasy face, and a kind of shrewd and cunning appearance, which seemed to be no different from the ordinary Southern Dynasty merchants.
He is Hong Jin, one of the most trusted subordinates of the Demon Sect.
Trust the most means that he is very powerful.
In the latest survey file, Wang Xianrui seems to be a real middle-aged greasy man. In addition to going to the gambling shop to gamble, he has no special preference for diet, and what he likes to eat is greasy and heavy-tasting food, which is not very suitable for practitioners. For example, he likes to eat big meat noodles in the morning breakfast, and the dishes he likes to eat at noon and at night are also waist flowers, large intestines, etc.
He doesn't even seem to love traveling around.
However, from these files that record mediocrity and greasy, Hong Jing still found some reasons why the Demon Sect had special attention to this Southern Dynasty official.
Wang Xianrui's parents are both ordinary people, and Wang Xianrui is also very ordinary. Moreover, he has not experienced any cruel battles and has no physical defects.
But in his forties, this normal man who was still rich was not married and was still alone, and seemed to have no dissatisfaction.
If there are psychological and physical problems, it is normal not to marry, but you can get the hearts of some pretty good women, but you are still alone and have never experienced love injuries. Often, you are just afraid of trouble and do some dangerous things, afraid of dragging down your family, or you have some secrets to keep, or you have to practice for a long time, and don’t want anyone around you to disturb you.
In addition, if you look at the mediocre records of this middle-aged greasy official in another way, you may feel differently. Looking at the promotion process of this person, Hong Jing vaguely felt that Wang Xianrui seemed to have been deliberately and quietly, step by step to achieve his current position in the past five or six years.
Luzhou was not a particularly important strategic location in the Southern Dynasty. Even Ningzhou, which produced more elixirs, was more important than Luzhou.
However, in Luzhou, there was the Dongjiang Medical Pavilion in the previous dynasty, which was the only institution in the previous dynasty to study medical science.
When I arrived in Xinchao, it was the only place there.
Therefore, there should be rubbings in common medical books in the world. As for some rare and lonely books, some ancient famous doctors or folk medicines, they are also stored there.
What Wang Xianrui did was to organize and edit, and let the doctor confirm the authenticity of some of the prescriptions and whether they were indeed effective.
So, this middle-aged and greasy official of the Southern Dynasty, based on this inference, is his secret possibly related to the use of medicine?
Looking further, what might this Southern Dynasty official discovered when he first sorted out and repaired old books in Tianmen County, and then he needed to get some answers in medical books?
That might be a unique practice?
An extremely powerful poison?
Or a method to cultivate some kind of spiritual medicine?
In Hong Jin's view, these are naturally possible.
But what are the Lord of the Demon Sect worried and afraid of?
If you are a saint who has truly become a saint, you will be afraid of these possibilities and will deliberately send your most capable subordinates to investigate the possibilities that exist in such a person?
Unless you are worried that what this person knows and gains will pose a real threat to you.
Could it be that, as some people speculate, although the Demon Sect has become a saint, there are still big problems with his martial arts?
In other words, the skills of the Demon Sect are actually not his own original creation, but have appeared in the past... and in some ancient books, there may be records, and their problems may be recorded, or even the methods may be broken.
Based on this speculation, although Hong Jin, who was sitting in one of the carriages in Chen Guangli's carriages, still had his face as usual, while he developed a strong curiosity, a layer of fear also appeared in his heart.
The trust of Lord Demon Sect in him lies in his loyalty and in his inability to pose a threat to Lord Demon Sect.
But if the secret of Wang Xianrui really involved the secret of Lord Demon Sect himself, and as the person who did this, he would naturally know the secret.
What will the Lord of the Demon Sect do to him?
Thinking of the previous methods of Lord Demon Sect to deal with the enemy, his uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
