Meng Tianchu already understood in his heart that this woman entered the yamen as a scribe, and this Wen Ming and Wen officials must have taken the benefits, because this is forbidden by the system, so these two people are so afraid that they will not be able to say anything. Grab this handle and see if you can use it for yourself. Then he folded the fan and shook it, and said to Murong Feiyu at the door with a straight face: "Anyway, what is your name?" ”

As soon as she heard this, the woman's body at the door trembled again, and she said in a trembling voice: "Murong...... Murong Zhenxue...... Very different ...... Snow ...... of snow"

"Oh! Snow in the distance? Good name! Actually, as soon as you look at your white and tender face, you should know your name, hehe. ”

Wen Ming laughed twice with him, he knew that the more the master talked and laughed like this, the more vicious the ghost idea in his heart might become, and he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead.

Meng Tianchu folded the fan and fanned it a few times: "Then who is Murong Feiyu?" Is it your father or your brother? ”

"Yes...... It's my father......"

Meng Tianchu nodded: "You close the door first." ”

Murong Yuxue hurriedly turned around and closed the door, looking at Meng Tianchu pitifully.

Meng Tianchu glanced at Murong Yuxue at this moment, only to see that she was wearing a scribe's hat with her head leaning forward and backwards, and a pair of small wings stretched out on both sides, which shook gently with the trembling of her body. Melon seed face, snow-white face deceiving frost and snow, as crystal clear and transparent as ice carved jade, emei bent, a cut of pupils and watery eyes, tears seem to be about to roll down, red lips slightly opened, between words, the snow-white shell teeth between the cherry mouth are particularly charming. turned out to be a stunning beauty.

Meng Tianchu looked at her and saw that she was wearing a black scribe's robe with two long ribbons of Confucian silk on it. This caftan is obviously not hers, it is very big to wear, it is inconvenient to write just now, she has already rolled up her sleeves, and when she saw Meng Tianchu entering, she panicked, and one sleeve was too late to put it down.

Meng Tianchu shook the folding fan lightly: "What's going on?" Let's hear it. ”

Murong Yuxue took two steps forward, knelt down with a grunt, tears rained down, and sobbed: "Master Meng, please raise your noble hand, let me replace my father......"

Meng Tianchu frowned: "Get up and speak!" ”

Murong Zhenxue kowtowed and said, "If you don't agree, I won't get up." ”

Hehe, want to use this to threaten this master? Kneel if you like. Meng Tianchu turned his head to look at Wen Ming. Wen Ming saw that the matter had been revealed, but he calmed down, laughed with his waist, and said: "Master, that's the case, this woman is the daughter of Murong Feiyu, an old scribe of our yamen, Murong Feiyu has been working as a book in our yamen for more than 20 years, he is old and frail, he has become ill from hard work, and his body is not as good as day by day, especially his eyes, his old eyes are dizzy, and he can't read words clearly. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "When you are old, you should retire and retire, and it is not a matter of standing up to it like this." Can his daughter survive for a while, can she still endure for a lifetime? ”

Wen Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Yes...... That's it, that's ...... Then I'll tell her not to come tomorrow and remove her father from the study. ”

Murong Yuxue was shocked, and kowtowed again and again: "Master, please!" My grandmother is almost eighty years old, my father is sick, my mother has been paralyzed in bed, my two younger brothers are still young, our family can count on my father's mission to support the whole family, what if ...... If you lose this ...... Our whole family won't be able to live......"

Meng Tianchu sighed, lowered his head, and looked at Murong Yuxue carefully: "Is this true?" ”

Murong Yuxue was anxious and just kowtowed, Wen Ming said: "Yes, when his father Murong Feiyu was young, he was also a pen in our yamen, but at the age of forty or fifty, his eyes are not good, his mother had a serious illness a few years ago, although he was cured, he has been paralyzed in bed since then." The seventy-year-old mother is also frail and sick and needs to be taken care of, and the three children are a little older than this Murong Yuxue, sixteen this year, and there are two younger brothers one eleven-year-old and one eight-year-old, his father's eyes can barely cope with it in the first two years, these two years, the younger words can't be seen clearly, in desperation, he begged me to let his daughter replace him in the yamen to earn some money to support the family, I know that this is not in line with the rules, but also my soft-heartedness, seeing that his family is pitiful, I agreed. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Does Cai Zhixian know about this matter? ”

Wen Ming was a little embarrassed: "I don't know." There are hundreds of scribes in the yamen, and Lord Cai doesn't often come to the sixth room, and he can't take care of it. ”

Meng Tianchu shook the folding fan and groaned with a very embarrassed look. Wen Ming said with a smile: "Master, as long as you raise your noble hand, the other scribes will also know their family's difficulties, and they will not embarrass her." ”

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, they are not embarrassed, hehe, then I will be this wicked person. frowned and said: "It's really pitiful to hear this, but if I don't know about this matter, I don't know, Cai Zhixian also said in front of everyone yesterday that in the future, Renhe County's criminal affairs will be handed over to me to deal with, and I will deal with this matter on the first day of my tenure, I'm afraid it's very inappropriate, if Cai Zhixian knows, I can't explain it!" ”

Murong Zhenxue stretched out his hand into his arms, groped for a while, and then took out a small money bag, poured all the money in the money bag into the palm of his hand, about three or four coins of silver and dozens of copper coins, knelt and climbed two steps, and said in a mournful voice: "Master, this is the food and silver I just received today, all for you, I know that there is a little less ......, as long as you raise your noble hand, I ...... Go back and borrow it, and I'll give it to you tomorrow. ”

"Oh?" Meng Tianchu shook the folding fan lightly, smiled, and asked curiously, "How much silver are you going to give me to gag my mouth?" ”

Murong Zhenxue was also in a hurry just now, but if you think about it, where will you borrow this money? I couldn't help but weaken my knees, sat down on the ground, lowered my head and sobbed softly: "I...... I can't borrow more, my mother and grandmother are sick, everything worth money at home has been sold, and all the relatives who can borrow have borrowed it, and relatives and friends are now hiding when they see us...... There are still people at the end of the family who come to ask for accounts in three days...... Just this time, there are still a few groups of people waiting at the yamen to share my food and money to pay off the bill...... master...... I just ask you to have mercy on our whole family, don't let us starve to death, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay your kindness! Please! After that, Murong Yuxue cried and kowtowed.
