Chapter 1493: Rescue or Destruction
The doctor searched through his patients and finally found an old rich man.
The other party lives in a mountain village. Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for Lan Yiwei to have the manpower, motivation, and energy to investigate an old rich man in such a remote place.
With a little effort, he convinced the old rich man.
"You also want to make sure that you can be reincarnated smoothly after drinking the medicine, right?" With just such a sentence, he asked the old rich man to cooperate with him and write down a complete life resume.
He also investigated the old rich man's son, grandson, wife and neighbors to confirm each other.
The records made are much more detailed than those in the Yamen interrogation of prisoners.
And many records contain relevant witnesses and physical evidence.
For example, in such and such a year, I bought a painting in such and such a place and stamped my own seal on the painting. Which scholar sold it to him...
I am very impressed. If it is true, The reincarnated person would definitely be able to tell.
If you can't tell, then the court is lying.
Of course he did this knowing exactly how much risk he was taking.
He dares to publicly expose the imperial court's money-making tricks like this, which is more harmful than gathering a crowd to rebel.
No matter whether it succeeds or fails, the nine tribes will be killed.
Not even the old rich man could escape.
He was a little scared.
But think about it, I am almost sixty this year, but I have still accomplished nothing. I have treated some patients and have not left any reputation.
In terms of reputation, he was just a scholar, but he was almost expelled by the old master because he failed the annual examination. Fortunately, a classmate interceded and said that he was dedicated to medical skills, and the old master was merciful, so he was not expelled.
But his medical skills are just like that, neither good nor bad, and it is impossible to leave a name in the history books.
But this time, in the midst of danger, he saw the hope of leaving his name.
To put it bluntly, Dr. Xiucai is not a selfless saint, he also has selfish motives.
What scholars want most is to have a good reputation, followed by wealth and beauty.
He couldn't count on the latter two, so he could only count on the former.
This time is the moment for him to leave his name!
…………
Dinwei City, the provincial capital of Seberang Perai.
On the first day of a certain month, a scholar doctor took the old rich man and the fountain of youth to a certain school ground in the city. After the monthly meeting of reincarnated persons appearing and preaching sermons was held, he openly addressed the meeting to the governor who personally presided over the meeting. Your Majesty is calling...
"Student Xue Wenfa is here to ask the Governor for proof of reincarnation." He held a large paper trumpet and shouted towards the high platform wrapped in red cloth.
The governor was originally very happy today because the court said that after next year, the taxes of all kinds of farmers will be halved.
For him, this is a great thing: what do poor people know?
The court said it would be halved, and he also said it would be halved, but he did not refuse to pay the money he owed in previous years.
So next year the money will be collected as in previous years, but it will be divided into two parts: half is the money that should be collected and handed over to the court; the other half is the money owed and goes into the pockets of him and his colleagues.
This is half of the tax revenue of a province. At least, he can get half a million taels.
Don’t think that he doesn’t dare to do it. As long as he discusses it with a few colleagues, it can be done.
As for the blue-clad guards, he is not afraid. They are not that smart at all. They are also human beings.
That is to say, he is well-informed about the capital, and when he leaves the capital, he will look at him with disdain.
When he was happy with the result, a scholar suddenly came and said that he wanted to verify the reincarnation. He originally wanted to be beaten out, but he said that the other party had committed a crime.
As a result, the master next to him said: "Master, the Queen Mother has issued an order long ago. Anyone who asks for verification must respond. If it is in the Yamen, that's it. Now in public, tens of thousands of people can see it... "
The governor thought about the court's allocation and next year's tax money, and frowned and held back.
“Call the sour butcher to come closer.”
He pointed around casually and asked the scholar doctor to come up to the stage.
Xue Wenfa took the old rich man, whose legs had been weak for a long time, to squeeze through the crowd and climb to the high platform.
The onlookers on the school grounds were immediately interested. Just three reincarnated people could keep them talking for a month.
Now that there is another one, I will naturally be even happier.
"Student, I have met the boss." Xue Wenfa knelt down respectfully. "Seeing as you are also a person of great fame, why don't you consider the complicated affairs of the court and do things like this?" the governor said majestically.
“Hearing the truth is better than seeing it. It is for the sake of the court that the students have gone through so much trouble to find someone who is willing to take the Fountain of Youth in public. If the governor can find out the reincarnation of this person, I believe everyone I have no doubts about reincarnation," Xue Wenfa said eloquently.
He is a tough guy.
The governor suddenly had a headache. He had been an official for thirty years, and he had seen quite a few scholars like this. These guys only wanted fame, were not afraid of death, did not love money, and were neither hard nor soft.
"Get up. In that case, little old man, where do you live and where are you from? You must not lie. You must know that reincarnated people are often not far from you." The governor looked at the person acting The old rich man who was a guinea pig.
The old rich man was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain clearly.
It was Xue Wenfa who said on his behalf: "This Wang Yuan has lived in XXXX for a long time, and his place of origin..."
"Okay, here, come and explore the horse for three hundred miles to hurry up, go to him immediately Looking around my hometown." The governor took his sign and handed it to the master.
The master immediately complied.
“Now, you can drink the water from the fountain of youth.” The governor then said to the king impatiently.
The old rich man took out a jade bottle from his arms and opened it slightly with trembling eyes. It was blue, like jade liquid and nectar.
He looked at it for a few times and drank it decisively.
The personal statements of the three people just now gave him a lot of courage.
In the wonderful afterlife, here I come...
In the next life I will marry twenty-seventh wife...
One round per month, with three days of rest.
With his beautiful thoughts, the old rich man fell on the spot.
He died with a smile on his face.
Xue Wenfa looked at that smile, but felt it was very strange.
However, the onlookers around were cheering loudly.
"Oh, this master has been reincarnated successfully!"
"I really envy him. With Su Hui in the next life, everything he does can be done with twice the result with half the effort."
"He can continue to enjoy happiness in the next life. .”
“I wonder where this master’s treasure is. Let’s go find it quickly.”
“Hahaha...”
The envious ones, the envious ones, and the spectators were all shouting.
Xue Wen has big hair, a bunch of fools, fools who have been fooled.
It is very similar to those believers who were fooled by the monks and dedicated their family property and land to the temple. As a result, their family fell into decline. I don’t know what will happen in the next life, but this life is ruined anyway.
The previous dynasty destroyed Buddha several times for this reason. Why did it have to be destroyed?
Isn’t it because the people are stupid and can’t resist the monk’s tongue?
It must be resolved by the imperial court personally cleaning up the matter.
What’s good now is that the imperial court has taken the initiative to fool the people and throw out the same theory of reincarnation in order to extract money. Isn’t this more terrifying than the monks?
In Xue Wenfa's eyes, the governor in red official robes turned into a tiger, and the court's guard of honor turned into a spider web.
They are laughing, they are drooling.
And he, Xue Wenfa, must inherit the words of the saint, save the common people, eliminate confusion, let people return to the real life, and do not believe in falsehoods.
At this time, of course he did not know the correlation between mystery and reason, confusion and science.
Who can believe that the Middle Ages, which was far darker and more stubborn than the East, and would be ruined by just a few words of explanation, could actually produce the wine of science.
The East, which pays attention to rationality and practicality and basically does not engage in religious wars, has fallen into a vicious circle of practicality and experience and has never been able to rise to the height of theory.
Xue Wenfa only regarded himself as a Confucian scholar who saved the world.
He decided to sacrifice himself.
