"It's the last time I killed the helper of the paper mill in Qinghe Town and robbed the papermaking technique!" Meng Yun said with a flushed face.

"That incident has passed, why bother to make amends again, I thought you were here to pay back the money today!" Chen Xu said indifferently.

"500,000 yuan is too much, Meng Yun can't pay it back for the time being, please ask Qinghehou to postpone it for a few months, I will definitely pay it back after the beginning of spring!" Meng Yun's face was even more red.

"Impossible, right?" Chen Xu put down the teacup in surprise, "I heard that your paper mill has started to make hemp pulp paper last year, and I also went to your paper mill a few days ago to see, thousands of workers and slaves and hundreds of craftsmen, the number of papers produced every day is not countable, now Mo said that it is Xianyang, almost all the counties and counties of Daqin have begun to popularize the use of hemp pulp paper, why do you have no money?" ”

"Qinghe Hou doesn't know!" Meng Yun exhaled faintly, glanced at Chen Xu with a melancholy on his face, and there was a slight hint of resentment in his eyes.

Damn, what kind of eyes are these?

Chen Xu resisted the urge to smash the teacup on Meng Yun's face, pinched the teacup tightly and blew the tea leaves, and said: "Meng Gongzi said it directly, kill people to pay off debts and pay money, I am a savage in a mountain village and lack of money!" ”

"I got papermaking from the Marquis of Qinghe, and after I came back, my father handed it over to His Majesty the First Emperor, and now the papermaking workshop outside the city belongs to the Craftsman Shaofu, but His Majesty gave me a vacant position of Zuo Colonel, specializing in managing the papermaking workshop, with an official rank of six hundred stones a year, and I really can't pay back the 500,000 yuan within three years, so I came here today to hope that the Hou Ye can have a grace time, and I will definitely find a way to pay it back!" Meng Yun said very worriedly.

"You're only 600 stones, have you calculated, even if you don't eat or drink, what years do you plan to have your children and grandchildren, I'm afraid you plan to survive me and then don't want to pay it back, right?" Chen Xu pouted and said tastelessly.

Meng Yun's fair face could no longer see a little white, it was as red as blood, and he didn't know how to speak with a teacup, he was completely unsuitable for Chen Xu's way of speaking, very mean and shocking.

"Since the Marquis of Qinghe is unwilling to give grace to the time, and Meng Yun has no money to return it, he can only apologize for his sins with death, and the debts of people will be extinguished, and I hope that the Marquis of Qinghe will not embarrass my father, and don't stab this matter into the ears of His Majesty!" After being silent for a long time, Meng Yun went down to the kang and bowed deeply to Chen Xu.

I'll go, you're so ruthless, 500,000 dollars is worth dying or living?

Chen Xu's cheek couldn't help but jerk a few times, jumped off the kang and grabbed Meng Yun, who was lost and about to leave, "Meng Gongzi, if you die, your father won't trouble me, right?" ”

"No, that's what my father told me to say!" Meng Yun said dumbfoundedly.

As soon as he heard Meng Yun's words, Chen Xu knew that this account might not be able to reach it in his life.

Just like Fang Kuan, the county lieutenant of Pheasant County at that time, said that it was just Meng Yun's guards who killed Niu Xiaosi at the beginning, if it was really investigated, Meng Yun could say that there would be no, although he later forced Meng Yun to write a confession and sign it, but this kind of thing is a thing that cannot be put on the table, a secretary of the Great Qin Empire is not such a confession can be moved, and Meng is deeply liked by Qin Shi Huang, Meng Tian controls 300,000 Qin troops in the northwest to monitor a million soldiers to build the Great Wall to reclaim the deserted border, That is the cornerstone of Great Qin's resistance to the Xiongnu and the Hu people, no one can shake it, and Meng Yi, as the imperial historian to monitor the officials of the world, is completely a loyal dog under Qin Shi Huang, and Great Qin can be so stable.

Therefore, even if he tore his face and took out Meng Yun's confession, Qin Shi Huang would not do anything to Meng Yi, on the contrary, after using this confession and IOU to force Meng Yun to death, he would also have a crack in Qin Shi Huang's mind.

What's more, it doesn't do yourself any good.

It will only add a powerful enemy to the court.

Now there is already a Zhao Gao who hates himself to the core, and another Meng Yi is added......

Chen Xu felt that his fate might be a little miserable, the identity of the disciple of the Immortal Family was not solid, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in Daqin, he finally relied on his ability, his connections, the emperor's trust, and his circle of friends.

And Meng Yi is like an old fox, he directly used this trick to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and used his son's death to force Chen Xu to completely give up compensation.

And Chen Xu had to accept it.

"Meng Gongzi laughed, it's only 500,000 yuan, if you can't pay it back, you can't pay it back, why bother looking for death, the paper-making technique didn't fall into your hands anyway, it doesn't matter if I give Meng Gongzi a few years!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Really?" Meng Yunmumu's stunned face showed a hint of brilliance.

"Really, really, trutruly, truer than a pearl!" Chen Xu nodded again and again, "Meng Gongzi can rest assured to go back and reply to Doctor Yushi for the time being, and tomorrow Xu will come to visit in person!" ”

"Okay~ Thank you Master Hou!" Meng Yun finally woke up from his lost soul, nodded again and again, and left.

Watching Meng Yun leave at the gate, Chen Xu couldn't help but look at the sky with his eyes and sigh.

Nima drops a gourd scoop, Jiang is still old and spicy, Meng Yi is too chicken thief, this trick is unexpected, not taking the usual road at all, Chen Xu feels that he can't catch it at all.

The next day, the weather is colder, the heavy snow falls all over the sky, but half a day, the whole Xianyang is shrouded in a layer of several inches thick snow, the heaven and the earth are general, the dense layers of palace pavilions in Xianyang City are like the fairy palace of pink carved jade, it looks majestic.

"Engong, why go out when it's so cold, how good it is to play chess and mahjong at home!" Yu Wuya rode his horse and followed Chen Xu's carriage and said.

"I don't know what my mother and Xing'er are doing at home?" Chen Xu didn't answer Yu Wuya's words, sat in the carriage and looked at the heavy snow and thick snow, and his mind had drifted thousands of miles back to Xiaohe Village.

"Engong, you are fifteen years old this year, you can already marry a wife and have children, when do you plan to marry your junior sister and give birth to a nephew as soon as possible, I will definitely train him to become a martial arts master!" Yu Wuya suddenly became interested.

"Don't brag, your martial arts are sparse and ordinary, you can't even beat that Huangshi Gong!" Chen Xu couldn't help but slap it.

Yu Wuya: ......

"Okay, don't be sad, the little master and nephew will definitely not have it so soon, how can it be so easy to make a baby, and it will be useless to have high martial arts in the future, and it will be killed with one shot!" Chen Xu's way of comforting is very special.

Yu Wuya was so depressed that he almost fell off the horse, and his mouth trembled for a long time before he hung his head and said: "Engong, can you be gentle when you comfort people in the future, in fact, after the last fight with Huang Shigong, my understanding of Tai Chi has deepened, and I feel that I have reached the edge of breakthrough, maybe I will soon be as strong as a senior brother." ”

"It's not like your senior brother can't beat Huang Shigong!" Chen Xu said lightly.

Yu Wuya almost cried, looking up at the vast snow at forty-five degrees, as if he had felt that the gods and Buddhas were all looking at him with contempt in the sky.

"Engong, the gun you said is really that powerful?" After a long time, Yu Wuya's emotions calmed down.

Chen Xu nodded, and after a long silence, he sighed and said: "I don't know if my approach is right or not, in fact, these so-called immortal spells I studied may have nothing to do with the immortals, only those of you who seek immortals and ask questions are doing it correctly, but unfortunately, I can't see through it, the emperors and mortals in the world can't see through it, the immortals may really exist, it's just that we can't find the right way to understand!" ”

"Shizun also said the same, but unfortunately life is too short, a hundred and ten years are fleeting, our limited life can not explore too many unknown things, so Engong does not have to be too decadent, life in the world, when you live a clear conscience and freedom, it doesn't matter whether you have a god or not! Shizun gave me this name at that time with what Zhuangzi said, which was to tell me not to be too paranoid, and the result was ...... As a result, I didn't learn anything! Yu Wuya said with a sigh.

"You can think about it! But you're right, a clear conscience and freedom are the most important things! Chen Xu nodded, and then couldn't help but ask curiously, "I didn't expect your name to be given by your master, let's hear it, Zhuangzi is a Taoist sage, what did he say?" ”

"My life has an end, and knowledge has no end, and there is no end to it, and there is no end to it, and it is gone; Those who have already known are gone! ”

Chen Xu understands this sentence slightly, which roughly means that human life is limited, knowledge is unlimited, and it is impossible to succeed in mastering unlimited knowledge with limited life. (This sentence is what old customers think they understand, don't go online)

"Since your name was given by your master, the name of the water girl must also be given by your master, what is the origin of her name?" Chen Xu began to wonder about the origin of his beautiful future wife's name.

"Because the junior sister is the water family, Lao Tzu once said: Good is like water, and water is good for all things without fighting; And the younger sister is a woman, Lao Tzu also said: The world is weaker than water, and the strong can win. Therefore, the master named her Qingrou, hoping that she would be like water, light and soft, but strong and indisputable. ”

Well, that's an interesting explanation.

Chen Xu was very emotional, and these two sentences are also very in line with Shui's gentle character, both gentle and strong, extremely gentle to the people around him, and for the bad guys, he will directly stab six times in a row, she is indeed a strange woman.

"Where's your senior brother? Where does the name come from? ”

"Senior Brother didn't say it, and Master Zun didn't say it either, but Senior Brother has high hopes for Senior Brother, I guess I want him to surpass himself, right?"

"This explanation is a bit far-fetched, then it should be called B Shengji, why is it called B Shengjia......"

Horses' hooves clattered through the snow, and wheels crushed the snow.

Chen Xu and Yu Wuya chatted while walking, and finally came to a luxurious mansion outside the lintel, with two ancient seals written on the lintel.
