Fenglin County, Meng family.
"Young Master, the business of rice stores and restaurants has finally stabilized." The hunched sixty-year-old man said with a happy face.
"Several creditors heard that the second young master had become a spiritual cultivator, and they did not send anyone to collect their debts."
This sixty-year-old man is Meng Liang, the steward of the Meng family. He is a loyal servant of the Meng family and has helped manage the Meng family for more than thirty years.
The handsome young man in his twenties has a slightly bookish air, giving people a sense of weakness, but his eyes are unusually firm.
This young man is Meng Yu's eldest brother Meng Changlin.
He is only twenty years old this year, but he is already the pillar of the Meng family.
The Meng family was imprisoned. If Meng Changlin hadn't shouldered the heavy burden, the Meng family would have been dispersed long ago.
"These things are all expected." Meng Changlin frowned slightly.
He did not hesitate to borrow money and spend a lot of money to send Meng Yu to the Demon Slayer Division in Shaolin County in order to stabilize the situation of the Meng family.
The reactions of merchants and creditors were all within his expectations.
"The eldest young master is worried about the government office..." Meng Liang understood what Meng Changlin meant.
The letters, spiritual money and elixirs sent by Meng Yu arrived more than ten days ago.
Meng Changlin marveled at his brother's wit.
Next, he deliberately took the nine pills to a large store for consignment.
He also asked Meng Liang to spread the news that Meng Yu had become a spiritual cultivator.
Now almost all the merchant families in Fenglin County have received Feng, and the Meng family has developed spiritual cultivation.
The originally precarious situation of the Meng family was instantly stabilized due to the emergence of spiritual cultivation.
Peers have stopped suppressing me, creditors have not pressed for debt... everything is moving in the right direction.
Now the official office of Fenglin County has not expressed its position and remains silent.
This is a bad sign.
"Uncle Liang, prepare the carriage. Let's go to the government office." Meng Changlin held a small cloth bag tightly in his right hand.
There are twenty spiritual coins in the bag, which are money for spiritual practice.
This is his only bargaining chip now.
No matter what, he was going to take the risk and give it a try.
Half an hour later.
A certain side room of Fenglin County Government Office.
"Brother Meng, there is really nothing we can do about this." A middle-aged scribe with a short beard said in a low voice.
This person is Du Huyi, the master of Fenglin County Government.
"Mr. Du, my parents are good citizens and have never colluded with rebels..." Meng Changlin handed over the small cloth bag with his left hand without leaving any trace.
Du Huyi's eyes flashed with a strange color.
What can be packed in such a small bag?
Silver? Banknote?
Du Huyi took the bag and untied the string that tied it.
What you see are some copper coins, but these coins emit a faint white light!
"Spirit money..." Du Huyi's hands trembled slightly, but he finally stabilized and tied the bag again.
"It seems that the second young master of the Meng family has indeed become a spiritual practitioner..." Du Huyi's attitude has indeed changed a lot.
"I will inform your Excellency about this matter. I believe that Your Excellency will make a clear decision."
"Brother Meng, just go home and wait for news."
Meng Changlin was overjoyed, bowed respectfully and left.
Du Huyi left the side room and walked quickly into the study room in the inner hall.
"Master Ming, Meng Changlin brought twenty spiritual coins." He carefully placed the bag on the desk.
The fat middle-aged man raised his head. He was Ming Xiaohuan, the magistrate of Fenglin County.
"Spiritual money? So, the second son of the Meng family has indeed become a spiritual cultivator?" Ming Xiaohuan had a look of surprise on his face.
In the past few days, this matter has been rumored in the city, but Ming Xiaohuan never took it seriously. He only thought it was Meng Changlin's strategy to stabilize the situation of the Meng family.
But he didn't expect that this matter was actually true.
"Sir, it's best to release Meng Ruohai and his wife," Du Huyi said cautiously.
"Why? Spiritual training? Humph!" Ming Xiaohuan had a look of impatience on his face.
"The second son of the Meng family has only been in Shaolin County for more than a month. At most, he is just a preparatory spiritual scholar."
"He's not even an orthodox spiritual scholar. What power does he have to rehabilitate Meng Ruohai and his wife?"
Du Huyi shook his head repeatedly: "Sir, Meng Yu has only been in Shaolin County for more than a month."
"But he sent someone to deliver nine spirit storage pills and twenty spirit coins."
"This is not a resource that a spiritual warrior should have!"
"According to the standards of this county's Demon Slayer Department's preparation for spiritual warriors."
"Before becoming a spiritual warrior."
"There are only six spirit storage pills and ten spirit coins in half a year."
"The Meng family are just ordinary businessmen with no background."
"These resources...are of unusual origin."
Ming Xiaohuan's face showed surprise: "You mean..."
"The second son of the Meng family is very talented, and he has been spotted by the people from the Demon Slayer Division?"
Du Huyi nodded: "This is the only possibility!"
"Otherwise, he would never be able to come up with so many resources."
"Moreover, Meng Changlin is good at businessman calculations, and he usually leaves room for anything he does."
"I suspect that Meng Changlin only used some of his spiritual resources."
"Then the spiritual resources that Meng Yu actually sent back may be even more!"
"Meng Yu's talent may not be simple. The person who takes a fancy to him is most likely an important figure in the Demon Slayer Department of Shaolin County."
Ming Xiaohuan's face was uncertain, and he thought for a while before saying: "In that case."
"Just put Meng Ruohai and his wife back."
"You find another merchant and rearrange the layout."
"This missing number of anti-traitor spies must be filled no matter what."
Du Huyi respectfully accepted the order and left.
Ming Xiaohuan looked at the small cloth bag on the table with a gloomy expression: "What a Meng family."
"How dare you use the name of spiritual cultivation to suppress me!"
"If given the chance, I will definitely destroy you, the second son of the Meng family!"
…
"Young Master, Young Master! The master and his wife are back!" Meng Liang shouted in surprise!
Meng Changlin stood up.
He made the right bet!
Deliberately taking out all twenty spiritual coins, leaving no room for anything!
The people in the county government must think that he still has more spiritual money in his hands.
It can be seen from this that Meng Yu has been favored by the Demon Slayer Division in Shaolin County.
As long as Meng Yu grows up slowly, the disaster in the Meng family can be easily solved.
This is something that will be solved sooner or later.
There is no need for the county government to offend a true spiritual practitioner.
Meng Changlin saw the situation clearly.
Although the crime of being a spy who colluded with the rebels sounded serious, it was just a performance in the officialdom.
A real spy is all spiritual and has extraordinary means. How can he be caught by a mere ordinary county magistrate?
This disaster for the Meng family was avoided.
For the sake of performance, the county government will naturally attack other merchants.
But, this is already someone else’s business.
Meng Changlin just wants to protect his family.
The Meng family returned home safely, and the Meng family was filled with joy.
…
"What did the two ghosts of Qiaoshan do? Ha..." The young man in black looked at the Shaolin County Demon Slayer Division, with an evil smile on his handsome face.
"All the Taoists from the Spring and Autumn Temple died, and the two ghosts from Qiaoshan also died. There is no proof of death?"
"There are still clues...those demented teenagers!"
