While stuffing dry food into his mouth, he lowered his head and walked forward, not knowing what he was thinking about.

This scholar is not from Guobei County, so others will naturally not recognize his name.

But Murong Bai had just met this scholar yesterday, so he naturally knew clearly that this poor scholar's name was Ning Caichen.

If it wasn't because of her own intervention and the development of the established story line, Nie Xiaoqian, who is currently cultivating in the jade pendant hidden on her waist, would have to develop an entangled and unforgettable love story with him.

"Brother Ning."

"Ning Caichen."

Ning Caichen didn't know what he was thinking, Murong Bai called him twice before Ning Caichen realized it.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, just in time to see Murong Bai sitting by the window of the restaurant, looking at him with a smile.

"Daoist Xiao?"

Yesterday, Ning Caichen received a lot of favor from Murong Bai.

So seeing that it was Murong Bai calling, Ning Caichen only hesitated for a short moment, then followed Murong Bai's signal and entered the restaurant.

There weren't many customers in the restaurant in the morning, and there was only Murong Bai sitting by the window on the entire second floor.

So when he talked with Murong Bai upstairs, Ning Caichen also felt a lot more comfortable here.

He remembered that Murong Bai said yesterday that he came to Guobei County to find a tree. Although Ning Caichen didn't understand why Murong Bai traveled all the way to Guobei County to find a tree, but he It is also clear that some things are not appropriate to ask too clearly.

Therefore, until the time of parting yesterday, Ning Caichen did not understand the real purpose of Murong Bai's coming to Guobei County.

Seeing Murong Bai again after a day, Ning Caichen inevitably remembered what he said yesterday, so he asked Murong Bai, "Is Daoist Xiao's business done?"

"It's done."

Murong Bai smiled and nodded to Ning Caichen, but he didn't explain too much.

For a poor scholar like Ning Caichen, it's better not to know some things.

Therefore, after nodding his head in reply, Murong Bai turned to ask about Ning Caichen's collection of the bill.

"What about you?"

Murong Bai asked Ning Caichen, "The owner of that inn, is he willing to hand over the money owed to you?"

Ning Caichen had already accumulated a lot of bitterness in his chest, and Murong Bai and him could be regarded as acquaintances, so when he heard Murong Bai ask about this matter, he immediately poured out all the complaints in his heart. poured out.

"Ugh……"

Ning Caichen first let out a long sigh, and then told Murong Bai carefully what happened to him after he entered Guobei County yesterday.

When Murong Bai listened to it from the beginning to the end, when he looked at Ning Caichen again, there was inevitably a bit of inexplicable in his eyes.

What should he say?

Thanks to Murong Bai's secret help, the account books and IOUs in Ning Caichen's bookcase were prevented from being soaked and damaged by the rain. With the account books in hand, he himself has the reputation of being a scholar.

Even though the current world is really chaotic, the status of a scholar is still a little bit after all. As long as Ning Caichen knows how to use his reputation as a scholar to find the government to take advantage of it, and wants to get back the arrears, it shouldn't be a problem. It's too difficult.

However, Ning Caichen's behavior is too upright, or rather pedantic, it is much more appropriate.

His experience yesterday perfectly verified what kind of situation it was that a scholar met a soldier without reason.

Facing the innkeeper's mischievousness, Ning Caichen, who was just a scholar with no power to restrain himself, really had no choice.

In the end, Ning Caichen, who was holding an IOU in his hand, was kicked out of the inn by the owner of the inn, without even asking for a copper coin.

At that time, it was already dark again, so Ning Caichen could only temporarily stay overnight in the Town God's Temple in the city last night.

With a group of beggars.

Chapter 1059

When telling Murong Bai about his experiences yesterday, Ning Caichen's face was full of embarrassment.

After all, he is also a person who cares about face.

However, after a little hesitation, Ning Caichen still told Murong Bai what happened yesterday.

After all, he has already received too much favor from Murong Bai. Even though he has not returned to Jinhua Prefecture, his wife's illness has not been cured by Murong Bai's pill, but in Ning Caichen's heart, it has long been the case. He already regarded Murong Bai as his great benefactor.

After listening to Ning Caichen's story about what happened yesterday, Murong Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Ning Caichen with some doubts, "Since the shopkeeper won't let you in, why don't you go to the government for help?"

"I remember you said yesterday that the magistrate of Jinhua County, who was the main examiner in your township examination, has now been promoted to the prefect of Fucheng. division."

Murong Bai wondered, "If you tell about these relationships, how dare a little Guobei county magistrate not help you wholeheartedly?"

These things are all what Ning Caichen said to Murong Bai yesterday.

Ning Caichen said these things at that time, just to brag about one or two things.

But in fact, he is a small poor scholar, if he has outstanding literary talent, it would be fine, but he is just a bookworm who dies at reading. He may be promoted in this life, but he really depends on luck if he wants to be named on the gold list. He didn't go to all kinds of fraternity associations here, and took the initiative to manage his own contacts, so it was impossible for those adults to remember his name, Ning Caichen.

It's fine for Ning Caichen and Murong Bai to brag, but if they talk to officials like Guobei County Magistrate, they will inevitably be suspected of talking nonsense.

Murong Bai is not a fool, seeing the complicated taste on Ning Caichen's face, he already figured out the key point here.

If it is impossible to make use of these official relationships, Ning Caichen's reputation as a scholar can be used to speak out, but if there is some connection between the innkeeper who owed the debt and the county officials, Ning Caichen wants to get the money owed. It will undoubtedly be a very difficult thing.

Murong Bai asked Ning Caichen, his plan today is to go to the inn named Fuyuan to stalk him.
