The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

The Immortal of the South Sea took out all the medicinal herbs, and Xu Yao was puzzled. Where did he hide these things?

Could it be that this old man has some mysterious space on his body? Otherwise, since he doesn’t seem to be carrying any luggage, how could he hide so many things?

Nanhai Xianweng gave Ah Qing the herbs, and Ah Qing carefully boiled the herbs. Nanhai Xianweng also checked the man's wound, applied the medicine, and replaced the gauze.

Xu Yao did not help from beginning to end, but stood outside and looked around vigilantly.

There was no one in the village except them, but this place was very close to Wanzhou City.

There is no guarantee that those cruel and ruthless people will not come to raid again.

Xu Yao was lying on the roof, eavesdropping with his ears perked up, and heard the old Taoist priest talking to the man. The man's surname was He, and his name was He Jun, and he was an official appointed by the court.

He didn't say how high his official rank was. Xu Yao heard from him that he was demoted and exiled to this place.

Xu Yao was very curious about why he was exiled.

The old Taoist priest didn't ask, and the man didn't say anything.

Xu Yao could only sigh and thought to himself, you old man are confused, how come you lack the sense of gossip.

He Jun continued to say that he had been in Wanzhou City for less than a month. On the surface, he was here to supervise the army, but in reality, he was just sitting on the bench.

The city is ruled by Concubine Zhao's family, and the whole city is staffed by Zhao family members.

He had been here for a few days, but hadn't even met General Zhao, let alone handing over the official seal and going through the procedures for joining the company.

At first, he was not happy about being demoted here, so he did not take the initiative to ask for handover. Instead, he settled down temporarily and wanted to live a quiet life for a few days.

Unexpectedly, not long after, they discovered an unusual place in the city.

"I really didn't expect that the enemy's soldiers would sneak into Wanzhou City. I told General Zhao about the Beichen soldiers, but General Zhao didn't take it seriously. He said that I was dizzy from drinking too much and should have a good rest, so he drove me out. At this point, I felt that something was wrong, so I secretly wrote a letter to find someone to help. Who knew that before I sent the letter, they put me under house arrest.

I stayed in the post station for more than half a month, until Beichen attacked and the city was broken, and then I fled in a panic. Several people around me were killed by the chaotic soldiers, and only Ah Qing took me to hide here. I thought I would set off again after my injuries healed, but who knew that the cavalry of the Great Zhou also came. The two sides fought to the death, and even set fire to the village in order to rob the people of their food and grass.

I was really weak and injured, and I wanted to let Ah Qing leave me and go, but he was stubborn and refused to go. So the master and I hid in the cellar."

What happened later was that the officers and soldiers saw that everything here had been looted, so they did not search carefully anymore, and seemed to have received some orders to go all the way south to Bashan, where they had a chance to catch their breath and rest for a few days.

If Xu Yao and the others hadn't arrived, these two would have left here the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Now that he heard that Xu Yao and the others were going to Wanzhou City, He Jun thought that these two were kind-hearted people and should not rashly commit suicide, so he boldly dissuaded them from going back.

Xu Yao thought to himself, this man is indeed a kind-hearted person, but he doesn't know why he was demoted to this place.

At this time, Xu Yao heard the old Taoist priest say, "You are an honest official, and you are a good official who serves the people. I see from your face that you will achieve great things in the future. But your official star is dim at the moment. Instead of insisting on returning to the court and being ostracized by others, it is better to keep a low profile and wait for a wise master."

Xu Yao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and He Jun was also slightly absent-minded when he heard this.

He calmly asked, "May I ask your Dharma name?"

"I'm a poor immortal from the South Sea."

Hearing his name, He Jun suddenly stood up and bowed to him, "You are actually the South Sea Immortal. I am blind and don't recognize your true identity."

Xu Yao narrowed his eyes. Is this old Taoist priest so famous?

It seems that He Jun has some background, otherwise the Immortal of the South China Sea would not read people's faces for no reason.

This made Xu Yao confused. He had never heard of this name He. What kind of official was he?

Ah Qing had already prepared the medicine and brought it into the room. After He Jun drank the medicine, he felt better, but a little groggy and needed to rest.

The old Taoist priest told him to take a rest for a while and not to worry too much, so as not to hurt his body.

When he walked out of the house, he didn't see Xu Yao outside, so he looked up and saw Xu Yao lying on the thatched hut, so he coughed twice.

Xu Yao turned over and told him seriously, "That ginseng is worth one thousand taels. You can't owe me this money."

Nanhai Xianweng: "You are really obsessed with money. Don't worry, I will return the ginseng to you."

Xu Yao glanced in the direction of the house, pulled the man to the gate of the yard, and asked him in a low voice: "What is the origin of this guy? Look at how excited you are, as if you have unearthed a treasure."

The old Taoist was puzzled, "You don't know him?"

"How should I know?"

The Taoist sighed and shook his head, saying: "You are the one who really jumped out of the mundane world and don't care about worldly affairs at all. This He Jun can be regarded as a famous honest official in Dingnan. He was born in a poor family, and because he had seen the suffering of the people, he knew best how to consider. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time. When he came to the officialdom of Dingnan, he couldn't do flattery. No matter how capable he was, he was demoted again and again.

After the death of the previous emperor, he offended Concubine Zhao and was demoted. Later, he could not stand the emperor's exclusive favoritism towards Concubine Zhao, which led to the power of the foreign relatives, and he spoke back to the emperor.

The emperor hated him, so he demoted him again and again and sent him here."

Xu Yao thought that he was still quite tough: "Has he ever done anything great?"

Nanhai Xianweng thought about it and said, "This man promoted the reform of the court. He was highly valued when the previous emperor was alive. He reduced taxes for the common people and suggested opening up trade routes to increase the revenue of the treasury. However, his reforms violated the interests of many people. He was framed by a conspiracy. He escaped death by luck, but was demoted all the way after the previous emperor's death.

When he was young, he was full of ambition and wanted to benefit the people with his own abilities. However, he did not know that the officialdom in Dingnan was a big dye vat, which had long been filthy. He kept his innocence, which made him look like an outlier in the eyes of others. So He Jun, who was frustrated, was demoted again and again, and finally became the military supervisor of Wanzhou City, a small border town. "

If there had not been this war, I'm afraid He Jun would never have been able to return to Dingnan Capital in his lifetime.

Xu Yao let out a long sigh when he heard this. The power of one person is limited, and there is no way for him to fight against the entire officialdom. No matter how honest he is, he can only guard his own little piece of land and try to maintain his innocence.

As time goes by, you are destined to be hated and despised, and excluded everywhere.

As the saying goes, if you don’t take it and I don’t take it, how can I take it?

If you can’t get it from the top, how can you expect to have a good life below?

Xu Yao felt that this person was born at the wrong time.
