After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Visible to the naked eye, everyone has grown a lot taller and their bodies have become much stronger. From the appearance, they are about the same size as ordinary men and slightly stronger than ordinary women.

Chen Qingzhu checked and found that the true Qi in everyone's body had been completely absorbed, which was considered a complete success.

Next is to test speed and strength.

As for speed, of course, we run at full speed and use a water clock to tell time.

After comparison, Chen Qingzhu discovered that the notes of the emperor of the mortal kingdom were indeed not exaggerated. The speed of everyone was indeed improved by at least three times.

Huiming, who has the best qualifications, has five times as many.

The rest are about three or four times as much.

After the run, they used the military testing method and asked everyone to lift stone locks to test their strength growth.

Everyone can lift two 60-jin stone locks with ease.

Although everyone could clearly feel that their strength was gradually increasing during these three months, they had never had such a clear awareness of it. They were extremely excited at the moment, and some people even threw 60-jin stone locks for fun.

While the test was in progress, Huiyun came to report to Chen Qingzhu the news of Mrs. Yan's visit.

Seeing the ladies in the courtyard happily throwing such heavy stone locks for fun, Huiyun's eyes flashed.

It is not easy for a woman to survive in the world because she is weak. It is wonderful that she can become so strong in just a few months.

Unfortunately, she is not qualified to practice this technique.

The assessment happened to be coming to an end, so Chen Qingzhu ordered: "Just bring her over."

Then he said to the crowd:

"Everyone has made great progress. Hui'an, from now on you must focus on practicing fighting skills every day and explore weapons and fighting methods that can maximize your physical strength."

"Yes!"

Hui'an obeyed the order.

"Okay, let's go our separate ways."

When Mrs. Yan walked in, she happened to pass by Hui'an and others, and she rubbed her eyes in confusion.

Did she remember it wrong or did she see it wrong?

Why do I feel like Taoist Master Hui'an has grown a lot taller after not seeing him for a while?

However, since she came here with a mission, she did not pay too much attention to other things and soon walked into the reception hall without distraction.

The abbot of the temple, who looked like a sage, was already sitting at the top waiting for her.

"Guanzhu!"

She saluted.

"sit down."

Mrs. Yan carefully sat on half of the chair, and then told her husband about the candidates for the examiner and her guess.

"My husband asked me to come and report this matter, and by the way, ask the abbot if he has any instructions."

When Chen Qingzhu first heard it, he was a little surprised.

Zhang Jinghong came to Nando City to be the chief examiner, which was something that had never happened in his previous life.

But if you think about it a little more, it’s not surprising.

In his previous life, Zhang Jinghong did not come to Nandu to be the chief examiner, mainly because the news of Pei Jin's poisoning had spread. The Zhang family was worried that the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion would continue to take care of Pei Jin, so they took him directly to the Zhang family.

Because of her existence in this life, Zhang could not push her out to quell the anger of the Zhang family's direct branch, and naturally did not dare to publicize the fact that Pei Jin was poisoned. Pei Jin failed to go to the Zhang family in time, and was later implicated and imprisoned in the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion.

How could they feel at ease considering how much the Zhang family valued Pei Jin?

It would not work to send a nanny, so naturally, a head of the family with enough weight would have to come to take Pei Jin away.

After understanding this, Chen Qingzhu said calmly:

"Don't panic, they will come to Cihang Temple one day."

Madam Yan didn't understand for a moment:

"What does the Master mean...?"

Chen Qingzhu said:

"Zhang Jinghong is probably here for his nephew."

Mrs. Yan suddenly showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

Who else can cure Zhang Jinghong's nephew's strange disease except the master of the temple?

It is only a matter of time before you can seek refuge at Cihang Temple.

By then, the master of the temple will have given birth to the precious child of the Pei and Zhang families, so the Zhang family will not care about the past conflicts anymore.

Moreover, even the Duke Dingguo was impressed by the master's divine power. How could Zhang Jinghong really get away?

By then, perhaps the Zhang family and even the Concubine Shu in the palace will become devout believers of the temple master.

In this case, past grudges will be nothing.

"It is my husband and I who are worrying about nothing. The master of the temple has great power. There is nothing in the world that can threaten you!"

Looking at her expression, Chen Qingzhu could roughly guess what she was thinking, but he didn't intend to explain.

Although she had no direct hatred with the Zhang family's direct branch, she had a deep hatred with the Zhang branch.

Before she was eight years old, she was born in a small wealthy family in a village in Zhili. Her grandfather was a scholar, and her family had hundreds of acres of fertile land and some small property. Her parents were relatively loving and harmonious.

However, everything was ruined after my father went to the city one time.

He was targeted by a broker from Zhang's gambling house and lured into becoming addicted to gambling. Not only did he quickly squander his family fortune, he also angered his mother to death. Later, he sent his beautiful daughter to the Zhang residence to pay off the gambling debts.

She used to hate her father for being addicted to gambling, but it was not until she saw her father wandering around as a soul after his death that she realized, after seeing so much, that this was just a common method used by the rich and powerful to plunder the common people.

The property of the wealthy will be taken away by force or man-made disasters.

When ordinary wealthy families can no longer squeeze out any more money, they will turn their sickles towards the poorer people.

The Zhang family's immense wealth was made up of the blood, tears, and even lives of countless families like hers.

Although the gambling house was managed by Zhang's father, the word "Zhang" could not be written twice in one stroke.

A lot of the profits from the Zhang family's gambling house and loan sharking were sent to the Zhang family's direct branch as tributes.

Therefore, it would be impossible for her to truly reconcile with the Zhang family.

The Jingnan Marquis' Mansion and the Zhang family were not even qualified to be her followers and be exploited by her.

They must lose everything and be sent to hell, only then can they comfort her for her murdered mother and daughter, as well as all the suffering she herself has endured in her past and present lives.

However, according to the trajectory of the previous life, the prince in Concubine Shu's belly would be born safely, and the emperor was always a solid backer of the Zhang family during his lifetime.

It is not easy to achieve your goal safely.

Now that Zhang Jinghong has come to Nando to serve as the chief examiner, it means that the emperor may have already forgiven the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion and the Zhang family under the influence of Concubine Zhang Shufei.

But after all, they had just announced the confinement, and it would be too frivolous to lift the ban immediately, and it would be difficult to explain to the people in Nandu City.

Given the emperor's character, he would most likely let Zhang Jinghong bring the Jingnan Marquis's family back to the capital.

That meant that before she could reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, she had to find an opportunity to bring Rong Niang back.

*

Yan Tongzhi was right.

Two days later, Zhang Jinghong, the chief examiner, arrived at Nandu Prefecture with two hundred escorting soldiers, as well as the deputy chief examiner and other invigilators.

The provincial examination was a big event, and Zhang Jinghong was a high-ranking official. Moreover, his father was a cabinet minister and his cousin was a favorite concubine in the palace. Naturally, he was warmly welcomed by local officials.

Not only did the government office arrange an inn of the highest standards and prepare a welcoming banquet, but even the Minister of War sent an invitation that same day, inviting Zhang Jinghong to attend a banquet at his mansion.

However, Zhang Jinghong coldly declined the welcoming banquet, took his men to the post house to settle them down, and immediately went to the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion.
