"It was the last time I killed the helpers of the papermaking workshop in Qinghe Town and snatched the papermaking technology!" Meng Yun said with a red face.

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

"The 500,000 yuan is too much. Meng Yun can't pay it back for the time being. Please ask the Hou Qinghe to postpone it for a few months. I will pay it back after the beginning of spring!" Meng Yun's face turned even red.

"Impossible?" Chen Xu put down the teacup in surprise. "I heard that your paper mill had already started making hemp pulp paper last year. I went to your paper mill a few days ago to see it. There were thousands of work slaves and hundreds of craftsmen, and I couldn't count the number of papers produced every day. Now, not to mention Xianyang, almost all counties in Daqin have begun to popularize the use of hemp pulp paper. How could you lose money?"

"Marquis Qinghe doesn't know anything!" Meng Yun let out a sigh of relief, glanced at Chen Xu with a melancholy face, and his eyes were slightly resentful.

Damn, what's your look?

Chen Xu resisted the urge to smash the teacup on Meng Yun's face, and pinched the teacup tightly and blew the tea leaves and said, "Young Master Meng just say it, kill people and pay off their lives, owes debts and pays them. I am a wild man in the mountain village and lacks money!"

"I got papermaking from the Marquis of Qinghe. After I came back, my father handed it to His Majesty the First Emperor. Now the papermaking workshop outside the city is affiliated with the Marshal's Mansion. However, His Majesty has made up for me a position as a Left School Order, specializing in managing the papermaking workshop. The annual official rank is 600 stones. I really can't pay the 500,000 yuan within three years. So I came today to hope that the Marquis can be pleaded for a limited time, and I will definitely find a way to pay it back!" Meng Yun said nervously.

"Your salary is only 600 shi. Have you ever calculated that even if you don't eat or drink, your grandchildren will still be in the future. I'm afraid you are planning to endure me to death and don't want to pay the rest, right?" Chen Xu said with a disrespectful look.

Meng Yun's fair face was no longer white, as red as blood. He didn't know how to speak with a teacup. He was completely unacceptable to Chen Xu's way of speaking, and was very mean and astonishing.

"Since the Marquis of Qinghe is unwilling to be pleaded for a period of time, Meng Yun has no money to repay it. He has to apologize for his death. The debts for death are destroyed. I hope that the Marquis of Qinghe will not make things difficult for my father, nor will he expose this matter to His Majesty!" After a long silence, Meng Yun got off the kang and bowed deeply to Chen Xu.

I'm going, you're so ruthless, is it worth 500,000 yuan?

Chen Xu couldn't help but thrust his face a few times and jumped off the kang and grabbed Meng Yun who was in a daze and was about to leave. "Young Master Meng, your father won't cause trouble for me if you die, right?"

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

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

Just as Fang Kuan, the Wei Wei of Zhixian County, said at that time, the one who killed Niu Xiaosi was Meng Yun's guard. If we really pursued it, Meng Yun could say nothing would happen. Although he later forced Meng Yun to write a confession and signed it, this kind of thing was something that could not be taken. A Shangqing of the Great Qin Empire could not be moved with such confession. The Meng family was deeply loved by Qin Shihuang. Meng Tian controlled 300,000 Qin troops to monitor one million surrendered soldiers in the northwest to build the Great Wall and reclaim the border. That was the cornerstone of the Qin resistance to the Huns and the Hu people. No one could shake it. As the censor, Meng Yi was completely a loyal dog under Qin Shihuang's subordinates, and the Qin could be so stable.

Therefore, even if he broke up and took out Meng Yun's confession, Qin Shihuang would not do anything to Meng Yi. On the contrary, after using this confession and IOU to force Meng Yun to death, he would have a crack in Qin Shihuang's mind.

More importantly, this does not benefit you.

It will only add a powerful enemy to the court.

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

Chen Xu felt that his fate might be a bit miserable. The status of a disciple of the Immortal Family is not reliable. If you want to gain a foothold in the Qin Dynasty, you will rely on your ability, your connections, your trust, and your circle of friends.

Meng Yi was like an old fox, and directly used this strategy of cutting off the firewood from the cauldron, using his son's death to force Chen Xu to give up compensation completely.

And Chen Xu had to accept it.

"Mr. Meng is just joking. It's just 500,000 yuan. If you can't pay it back, you can't pay it back. Why bother to seek death? The papermaking technique has not fallen into your hands anyway. It doesn't matter how many years I'll give you to Mr. Meng!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Really?" Meng Yunmumu's dazed face showed a hint of spirit.

"It's really true, even more true than pearls!" Chen Xu nodded repeatedly, "Young Master Meng, don't worry, go back and reply to the censor. Torixu will visit him in person!"

"Okay~ Thank you, Marquis!" Meng Yun finally woke up from his despair, nodded repeatedly and said goodbye and left.

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

Damn it, the ginger is still so spicy, Meng Yi is too thief. This move is unexpected and does not follow the normal path at all. Chen Xu feels that he can't handle it at all.

The next day, the weather was even colder, and heavy snow fell all over the sky. In just half a day, the entire Xianyang was covered with a layer of snow several inches thick. The sky and the earth were in general. The dense layers of palaces and pavilions in Xianyang City looked like fairy palaces made of carved jade, and looked extremely majestic.

"My benefactor, why bother going out so cold? It would be great to play chess and mahjong at home!" Yu Wuya said along the side of Chen Xu's carriage while riding a horse.

"I don't know what Mom, Xing'er and Qingrou are doing at home?" Chen Xu did not answer Yu Wuya's words, sat in the carriage and watched the heavy snow and thick snow, and his mind had already flown thousands of miles away and returned to Xiaohe Village.

"My benefactor, you are fifteen years old this year and can get married and have children. When will you marry your junior sister? If you want to give birth to a junior nephew early, I will definitely train him to become a martial arts master!" Yu Wuya suddenly became interested.

"Stop bragging, your martial arts are sparse and ordinary, and you can't even beat that Huangshi Gong!" Chen Xu couldn't help but hit him.

Yu Wuya:...

"Okay, don't be sad. The younger brother will definitely not have it so soon. It's not easy to make a baby. Besides, it will be of no use to have high martial arts skills in the future. You will be killed with one shot!" Chen Xu's way of comforting was very special.

Yu Wuya was so depressed that he almost fell off the horse's back. His lips shook for a while before he said dejectedly: "My benefactor, can you be gentle when you comfort others in the future? In fact, after fighting with Huangshi Gong last time, I have a deeper understanding of Tai Chi. I feel that I have touched the edge of the breakthrough, and maybe I will be as strong as my senior brother soon."

"Your senior brother can't beat Huangshi Gong!" Chen Xu said lightly.

Yu Wuya almost cried, looked up at the vast snow in the sky forty-five degrees, and seemed to have felt the gods and Buddhas all over the sky looking at him with contempt.

"My benefactor, the gun you mentioned is really that powerful?" After a long time, Yu Wuya calmed down.

Chen Xu nodded, and sighed after a long time of silence, "I don't know if my approach is right. In fact, the so-called immortal magic that I have studied may have nothing to do with gods and immortals. Only you who are looking for immortals and asking questions are correct. Unfortunately, I can't see through it. The emperors and mortals in the world cannot see through it. Gods and immortals may have existed, but we just can't find the right way to understand it!"

"Master said the same thing. Unfortunately, life is too short. A hundred years are fleeting. Our limited lives cannot explore too many unknown things, so the benefactor doesn't have to be too decadent. In life, you should live a clear conscience and freedom. It doesn't matter whether there is a god or not! Master gave me this name in the words Zhuangzi said at that time, just to tell me not to be too paranoid. As a result... I didn't learn anything!" Yu Wuya said in a sigh.

"You are so open-minded! But you said it well, and it is the most important to have a clear conscience and freedom!" Chen Xu nodded, and then couldn't help asking curiously, "I didn't expect that your name was given by your master. Let's talk about it, Zhuangzi is a great Taoist sage. What did he say?"

"My life is boundless, but knowledge is boundless. With limitless, it is almost impossible; if you are only knowledgeable, it is only impossible!"

Chen Xu understood this sentence roughly, which roughly means that human life is limited and knowledge is infinite. It is impossible to succeed with limited life to master infinite knowledge. If a person thinks that he can master all knowledge and knows everything, he is already helpless. The meaning of being helpless is roughly crazy. (This sentence is understood by the old customer, don’t exaggerate it)

"Since your name is given by your master, Miss Shui must have given her name by your master. What is the origin of her name?" Chen Xu began to wonder about the origin of the name of his beautiful future wife.

"Because my junior sister is Shui, I once said: The best is like water, and water is good at benefiting all things without fighting; and the junior sister is another woman, I also once said: Nothing is more weak than water in the world, and no one can defeat the strong. Therefore, the master named her Qingrou, hoping that she is like water, lightest and soft but strong and uncompetitive."

Well, this explanation is really interesting.

Chen Xu was very moved, and these two sentences were also very consistent with Shui Qingrou's personality. He was gentle and strong, and was extremely gentle to the people around him. He would directly stab the bad guys six times. He was indeed a strange woman.

"Where is your senior brother? Where does your name come from?"

"Senior brother has never said it, nor has his master said it, but he has high hopes for the eldest brother. I guess he should want him to surpass him, right?"

"This explanation is a bit far-fetched. It should be called B and Ji. Why is it called B and A..."

The horse's hooves walked on the snow, and the wheels crushed the snow.
