After rebirth, I became a national teacher
Chapter 21
Therefore, when Jingci Temple did not send holiday gifts this year as in previous years, he was the first to notice it.
However, heavy snow blocked the roads, making travel inconvenient, and it was New Year's Day and he had many social engagements, so he did not go to inquire for the time being.
As soon as the fifteenth day arrived, all government offices were fully operational and the New Year social activities among officials came to a temporary end. He immediately sent people up the mountain to inquire about the situation.
After listening to Zhang Liu's report, Captain Li's eyebrows were furrowed into a pimple.
What the hell is that old bitch Ci'an doing?
Instead of using it as a good Buddhist temple, they turned it into a Taoist temple with little worship.
Although the money from incense offerings is not their main source of income, it still adds up to a considerable amount of money in a year.
Moreover, many customers choose to find the prostitutes of Jingci Temple just for the thrill of blaspheming Buddhist disciples and changing Buddhism to Taoism. Who knows whether those customers will buy it or not.
Such a big change happened, but he was not even notified.
Although the gift that year was not as valuable as the profit, it was a kind of attitude.
Ci'an suddenly stopped sending New Year gifts. Could it be that she was planning to betray him and find another big tree to rely on?
Such speculation made Captain Li furious.
Early the next morning, he selected a hundred soldiers and rode up the mountain angrily.
At that time, Chen Qingzhu was in the West Garden reviewing the training results of the Cihang Temple. Before he announced the disbandment, he heard the loud sound of horse hooves coming from outside the temple.
"what happened?"
"It seems that quite a few people are coming here on horseback."
The Kun Daoists were full of doubts and discussed the matter a lot.
Chen Qingzhu had already guessed who it was, and knew that the person was up to no good, so he told everyone:
"Except for the Discipline Hall, everyone else should go back to their rooms and rest. Do not run around without my order."
At this moment, Kun Dao, the gatekeeper, ran into the West Garden with a horrified look on his face:
"Master! There's a man outside who calls himself Captain Li. He's brought a lot of soldiers to surround the gate and wants Ci'an to go to the door to greet him! What should we do? They all carry knives and look ferocious..."
The Kun Daoists who had not yet left quickly understood the meaning and their faces turned pale.
It sounds like Ci'an's backer has come knocking on the door!
Yes, since they dare to do such a lowly business as a secret brothel, how could they not have a backer?
Now, that man has brought so many soldiers, even the master of the temple may not be his match.
By then, Ci'an and others will probably regain control of Cihang Temple, and those who once resisted and sought revenge will not have a good ending.
Apparently, it was not only Kun Dao who thought this way, but also Ci'an, Huiyuan and others.
Especially Huiyuan, who was limping and obediently cleaning the windows in the corridor not far away. When he heard this, he suddenly showed ecstasy, threw away the rag in his hand, and looked at the other slaves:
"Why are you still doing these rough jobs? Didn't you hear that the captain is here to support us? The good days of these bitches who dared to betray and oppress us are over!"
Several other nuns who were formerly from the Discipline Hall and were now hard laborers also showed joy upon hearing this. Like Huiyuan, several of them dropped the work in their hands, straightened their backs, and looked as if they were about to turn the tables and become the masters.
Even the most shrewd nun Ci'an couldn't help but stand up straight, her eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement.
Chen Qingzhu was about to walk to the door, but when he heard Huiyuan's arrogant speech, he paused, turned around and walked to Huiyuan. He raised his hand and slapped him in the face, causing Huiyuan to see stars and his face to burn.
"I didn't hear what you said just now. Say it again."
She looked calm, yet she had an inexplicably captivating aura.
Huiyuan covered her face, not daring to say a word. Chen Qingzhu's sharp eyes swept over the other slaves, and they all shrank back.
"I will take care of the outside affairs. Hui'an, can you keep an eye on them?"
Chen Qingzhu asked.
"Master, just go with peace of mind."
There was no panic on Hui'an's face.
