Murong Yuxue hurriedly grabbed the old woman, turned to Meng Tianchu and said, "No, no, master, this is absolutely impossible......

Of course, the old woman knew the truth of long nights and dreams, broke free from Murong Zhenxue's hand, and trotted to the opposite shop to exchange silver, and those creditors also chased after her, and Murong Zhenxue also wanted to chase after her, but was pulled by Meng Tianchu. Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Miss Murong, I have a lot of spare money in my hands, and I am not in a hurry to use the money, I will pay off the debts for you first, I just want you not to worry about these, so that you can be an errand for me, and when you have money in the future, pay me back slowly, or I will slowly deduct from your food and silver and deduct 100 wen every month, no, 50 wen." ”

Murong Zhenxue saw that the old woman and seven or eight creditors had already exchanged the silver for copper coins and were dividing them, knowing that it was impossible to come back, she was both panicked and grateful, and when something happened, she didn't know what to do for a while, and she was about to kneel down as soon as her knees were weak, Meng Tianchu grabbed her and said in a low voice: "Miss Murong, you have knelt enough today, you don't have to kneel anymore." ”

Murong Yuxue choked up and muttered vigorously.

After a while, the old woman and a few creditors came back and returned the remaining copper coins to Meng Tianchu, and they didn't have the words to thank them.

Meng Tianchu said: "You go back and inform the other creditors, and take the IOU to the yamen to find me." ”

The creditors agreed repeatedly, thanked them, and left happily.

Murong Zhenxue didn't expect Meng Tianchu to pay off the debt for him, this huge debt has always been a mountain above her family's head, the creditors came to the house twice in three days to ask for debts, except for the basic living expenses, the rest of the money was used to repay the debts, and the creditors forced the debts every day, so that the family could not live in peace, and now Meng Tianchu helped him pay off the debts, and explained that he could slowly deduct it from the money in the future, and there would not be too much pressure, how could he not make Murong Zhenxue grateful.

Meng Tianchu said to Murong Zhenxue: "You come with me, let's go to the inner office and start working." With that, he led Murong Yuxue back to the inner office.

When they came to the courtyard of the master of the inner government, Feiyan and Xia Fengyi were sorting out the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and when they saw Meng Tianchu coming back, they were very happy to greet them.

Xia Fengyi glanced at Murong Zhenxue, who was wearing a scribe's costume behind Meng Tianchu, and was slightly stunned, a woman's instinct made her immediately realize that Murong Zhenxue was a woman, and asked with a smile: "Husband, this is the scribe you are looking for?" ”

"Yes, her name is Murong Zhen...... Murong Feiyu, who is a scribe in the torture room, is also quite familiar with the name of the sentence, and called to help me deal with some official documents. ”

Feiyan also saw it, walked to Murong Zhenxue's side, circled around her, put her nose to the back of her neck, sucked it exaggeratedly, and grinned: "Hmm~, this little scribe is so fragrant!" ”

Murong Zhenxue was a little nervous, lowered her head and quietly glanced at Meng Tianchu.

Meng Tianchu first introduced Xia Fengyi and Feiyan to Murong Zhenxue, and Murong Zhenxue respectfully greeted the two.

Meng Tianchu asked Xia Fengyi, "Is the county magistrate here?" ”

"Not yet, but it's going to be soon." Xia Fengyi said, turned her head and instructed Feiyan, "The master is about to work, you go and clean up the study, by the way, prepare a table for the master, the scribe's entourage, to work." ”

Feiyan agreed, turned around and went into the study. Murong Zhenxue also followed up to help clean up. Taking advantage of this time, Xia Fengyi looked at Meng Tianchu in a strange way, and said in a low voice: "Hey! You're juggling public and private interests, aren't you? ”

"What is the balance between public and private? What are you talking about? Meng Tianchu's eyes widened and asked knowingly.

"Hehe, don't be embarrassed, this girl looks like a flower and jade, and she has a criminal name, are you planning to train as a virtuous assistant in the future?"

Meng Tianchu knew that Xia Fengyi saw that Murong Zhenxue was a woman, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, Murong Feiyu is his father, her name is Murong Zhenxue, she is a girl, what's the matter, are you jealous?" ”

Xia Fengyi glanced at him: "I said it, I hope you can find a wishful daughter-in-law in the future, so that I can leave you with peace of mind, so if you come to her, what vinegar can I eat." I just hope that the two of you can get along this year, and I will be able to go with peace of mind. ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, and smiled reluctantly: "What do you say, I just asked her to help me deal with the official documents, how can I have that thought, besides, I may not have someone else." This is just the acquaintance, and that's it. ”

Xia Fengyi said: "It's okay, there's still a year, I see that this girl is very good, she looks very beautiful, and her personality is quite gentle, she should be the kind of girl you like." ”

"Oh? Do you know me so well? Meng Tianchu said in a low voice, "Actually, what I like is a girl like you who dares to say and do." ”

Xia Fengyi said lightly: "It's okay not to say this kind of thing." You go get busy, I'm going to get the flowers and plants in order. After speaking, he ignored Meng Tianchu, squatted down and continued to sort out the flowers and plants in the flower garden.

Meng Tianchu smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and was about to walk into the study, when he heard Cai Zhixian's laughter at the door: "Sir, I retired from the hall in my late life, and I brought you this pile." ”

Meng Tianchu turned around and looked, and Cai Zhixian walked in with a thick stack in his hand. hurriedly greeted him, took the form, let Cai Zhixian into the living room, sat down and said: "Dong Weng, in the future, just ask the squad leader or the scriven of the execution room to send it, why bother your big driver." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Cai Zhixian smiled and said, "Today is the first time, of course the late students have to come in person, and let them send it later." After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Cai Zhixian said goodbye and left.

Meng Tianchu took the stack and came to the study, and handed it to Murong Zhenxue for her to deal with, saying that it was to examine her ability. Of course, Murong Zhenxue took out twelve points of spirit and handled these situations properly. Meng Tianchu read the comments she wrote, it was really like that, of course it was not sure whether it was good or not, because after all, Meng Tianchu himself was not very clear about it.

Meng Tianchu sent the approval to Cai Zhixian with some trepidation, Cai Zhixian nodded again and again, drew a circle with a smile and approved, and Meng Tianchu breathed a sigh of relief.

On the same day, after Murong Zhenxue's other creditors got the news, they also took the IOUs to the Yamen Inner Office to find Meng Tianchu. Meng Tianchu still helped Murong Yuxue pay off all the debts, adding up to more than twenty-two taels in total. In other words, Meng Tianchu became the largest and only creditor of the Murong Xue family.
