After all, he was considered a wealthy family, and the craftsmen who made the kang were also more sophisticated. Unlike ordinary people who would use plaster to cover the surface and then lay it with stone slabs, the surface of his kang was made of extremely smooth blue bricks.
The surface of this blue brick has also been carefully polished, giving it a mirror-like brilliance and even some jade-like brilliance.
His palm fell flatly on one of the blue bricks, and then he slowly and carefully lifted it up. There was no sound or any fluctuation of true energy, but the green brick was firmly attached to his body.
The palm of my hand was sucked up.
On the back of the blue brick, there are some thin needles.
These needles seem to be very similar to the flying needles used by practitioners. There are faint holes at the tips of the needles, but there are no holes at the end to guide the airflow.
He stroked the back of the blue brick with his left hand, put all the fine needles into his sleeve, then put the sucked up blue brick away, then put it on the bed board, and continued to sleep peacefully.
As usual, snoring soon began to sound in this bedroom.
Nothing seems to have changed.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Xianrui got up at about the same time as usual and went to the next alley to order a bowl of tofu pudding. He walked half a street with the tofu pudding and bought a fried cake, which he ate with satisfaction.
After finishing the tofu pudding with the oil cake and returning the bowl from the tofu pudding shop, he slowly walked into the Dongjiang Medical Pavilion.
Although officials like him have actually been separated from the real dignitaries of the Southern Dynasties for a long time, and their official ranks are not considered high-ranking, he is at least the highest-ranked official in the Dongjiang Medical Pavilion. He not only has a separate hall to summon doctors for interviews.
room, even in several libraries there are separate study rooms.
He is usually kind to people, and even if some doctors make mistakes, he rarely blushes, so the clerks are respectful and polite to him. I heard that he will use the study room on the first floor of the library today, so there is a clerk
I sent some fine agarwood over and lit the stove to smoke it.
This can be regarded as some small benefits of the Medical Pavilion that are not known to outsiders. Some things are used for testing medicines, but when you apply for it, you will have more margin. If the medicine testing goes well, there will often be more.
This kind of fine agarwood is often out of stock in Jiankang City. It is weighed by the gram on a small scale, and the price is astonishing. It is a big expense for some famous people, but at the Medical Pavilion, it can be purchased at least every year.
A few taels of surplus.
Wang Xianrui thanked the clerk, entered the study room, closed the door, and sighed quietly.
He was convinced that these peaceful days were coming to an end.
When he came along the way today, he saw two more strangers, and the strangers he had met twice before all appeared in his sight without exception.
And the feeling these people gave him was very different from before.
If they were just quietly observing him before, the attitude of those people today seemed to be almost the same as that of the fishermen waiting to close their nets.
So the time came when something had to be done.
He gently moved an old bookcase against the wall.
There were two ordinary wooden boards underneath the old bookcase. However, when the two wooden boards were removed, a secret passage appeared on this side.
It's more of a simple underground tunnel than a secret passage.
Wang Xianrui was somewhat emotional.
He had always felt that he had some mild persecution paranoia, and he always felt that one day danger would come quietly and unexpectedly, so after arriving at the Dongjiang Medical Pavilion, he deliberately chose this old room as his study.
Just dig a few feet below the study room to reach the sewage culvert of the hospital.
Some of the medicine residues in the medical clinic are toxic, especially the sewage from some drug testing processes cannot be discharged to the ground at will. Therefore, the culvert is built wide and has several sedimentation tanks inside. The final discharged water will not be connected to the ditches in the city.
, will lead to the hilly depression behind the medical center.
The people in the medical center have planted several kinds of eclipta in that depression. Those Eclipta lilies are particularly sensitive to toxicity. If the discharged sewage still contains some toxicity, those Eclipta will wither and the people in the medical center will be immediately alert.
And processing.
Such a secret passage leading to the back of the medical center was just what Wang Xianrui did secretly when he was bored, but who would have thought that this kind of fantasy would actually come in handy today?
Because he was sure that he would not come back here again, and it would even be difficult for him to return to Luzhou City in the future, and he did not want to let the officials who were usually nice to him get involved in a mystery, so he did not think about covering up this hole.
He took a deep breath, worked hard to tighten his abdomen, and ensured that his body could pass through the hole, then he held his breath and jumped down.
…
The mountain behind the medical center is very quiet. Some old willows with different postures have grown for many years. They are as tall as pines and surround a stone lotus pond.
In this lotus pond, there is a kind of Eclipta that is still in flowering stage. Dots of golden flowers are dotted in the green pond.
When Wang Xianrui quietly emerged from the corner of the lotus pond, he had already changed his clothes.
I don't know what means were used to make his face turn sallow, and his cheeks seemed to be thinner, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be drooped. But these changes made him seem like a different person, even to those who were familiar with him.
Even the petty officials might not be able to recognize him for a while.
Because he was sure that no one would come to check out the lotus pond in the back mountain at this time, he walked very calmly. As usual, he walked out of the back mountain, but he did not try to leave Luzhou directly, but walked towards the front
I wandered through the streets where I came.
No one would pay attention to the strange faces in these streets like him, especially those strangers who were not familiar with the people in these streets at all.
He walked to a liquor store not far from his residence.
There was a new waiter in the liquor store, and he was the stranger who appeared in his sight most these days.
The wine shop doesn't do business in the morning, so at this time, the new waiter should usually be cleaning some wine jars sent back by others in the backyard.
Next to the backyard of the liquor store is a tailor shop.
The facade below is full of cloth and ready-made clothes. Upstairs is where the tailor measures clothes and works. There is also a bedroom inside.
The tailor's surname was Yang, and I was very familiar with him. Most of his clothes were made by this tailor. In the past few days, this tailor happened to be away from home with her wife, so this building was empty.
Wang Xianrui entered the tailor shop casually. The shop was obviously locked, but he reached over and the door opened.
He went upstairs. Although his body was fat, it was lighter than a civet cat, and he didn't make a sound.
He stood in front of the table where the tailor usually worked, and looked outside with a sideways look. Through the gap in the window lattice, he saw the new waiter who was cleaning the wine jar as hard as the previous few days.
It's almost time, and he doesn't want to wait too long.
Before leaving Luzhou, he must find out who the masters behind these strangers are.
He stretched out his hand to open the window beside him.
However, the moment his fingers almost touched the window, he suddenly stopped.
A carriage stopped in front of the wine shop, which was not doing business in the morning, and a stranger he had definitely never seen before got out of the carriage and entered the wine shop.
This is a practitioner.
Just by looking at the calmness of walking, you can be sure.
This practitioner was wearing a very ordinary green shirt and his face looked very young.
With a very gentle look on his face, he walked directly to the waiter who was still cleaning the wine jar, then nodded slightly in salute and spoke softly.
Even though his voice was very soft, Wang Xianrui still heard him clearly.
"My lord would like to meet with you, Lord Hong, to discuss some matters."
Wang Xianrui's fingers froze.
The waiter who was still busy cleaning the wine jar also froze his fingers, and then he was silent for several breaths. He put down what he was holding, stood up, and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
"You don't need to understand too much."
The practitioner in green shirt said calmly: "You just need to know that we know that you are interested in that medical officer, and we know your origins and know that if you succeed, you will hand this person over to your Hong Jin
Master Hong. Although we don’t know where he is now, if we really attack you, we should be able to find out soon. But then... you will all die. My master is not willing to do that. He has something to do with Hong.
During the interview, you only need to bring this message to Mr. Hong. The decision is not something you can decide."
The waiter with his back to Wang Xianrui remained silent for a moment and said, "Who are you?"
Only then did a trace of ridicule appear on the lips of the green-robed cultivator, and he said: "You will know it when you see it, and... I know all these actions of your Lord Hong Jin, do you have to explain it clearly? Which family in the Southern Dynasty can do it?
Do it?"
Wang Xianrui's heart was slightly shaken. Although it was only a short conversation, he had already received many answers.
These practitioners who were first interested in him probably did not belong to the Southern Dynasty, not the Southern Dynasty, that was the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The one who could discover the whereabouts of some details of the Northern Wei Dynasty so quickly, and who could speak in such a tone, was either the Xiao family or the Chen family.
"If you agree to the interview, where will you meet?" The waiter with his back to Wang Xianrui was silent for a moment, and then asked.
The practitioner in green shirt smiled and said: "Little maple bridge."
The waiter stopped talking, nodded, and walked out of the liquor store.
Wang Xianrui still maintained his posture of reaching out to push the window, motionless.
He was thinking whether he should go to Xiaofeng Bridge.
Xiaofengqiao is located in the north of Luzhou City. There is a water market there, which is very lively. Not only are there many people and businesses, but there are also boats sailing everywhere and waterways extending in all directions.
This green-shirted practitioner directly named the place to meet, which has two meanings. One is to show that he does not want to set up an ambush. He will first explain the place and let them explore. The other meaning is that even if there is a change, these Northern Wei
It is easier for the practitioners to escape, and since there are so many people in the city, it is impossible for the practitioners of the Southern Dynasties to kill people wantonly.
But this kind of atmosphere can only make him certain that it must be a powerful family like the Xiao family and the Chen family.
So for a little person like me, do I really have to find out who is interested in me and what to do?
(There is no need to rush and rush tomorrow, the update will be normal, and then let’s talk about Wang Xianrui. What secrets do you hope he has in him? What kind of capable person is he? If your ideas are more innovative than mine,
Okay, maybe I can adjust it, and if the final guess is similar to whoever’s guess, I’ll give it a big gift.)
