After rebirth, I became a national teacher

The man was dressed in tight clothes, had a mustache, and was of sturdy build, obviously a martial artist.

He had been observing the temple for quite some time. Seeing that the pilgrims had dispersed, he appeared and said to the receptionist Kundao:

"Where is your abbess? I want to see her."

Kun Dao had received the instructions earlier, and said:

"Please forgive me, the master of the temple will not see any guests today."

The warrior frowned immediately and said arrogantly:

"I'm from Captain Li's residence! You haven't informed her yet, how do you know she's missing?"

The ordinary nuns of the original Jingci Temple did not know who the backer of Jingci Temple was.

But seeing that his tone was firm and that he was indeed an important figure, Kun Dao, who was in charge of reception, did not dare to be negligent and hurried to report to Hui Yun, who was in charge.

Huiyun's expression became serious when he heard this.

Although they had expected that Captain Li might discover something unusual and come to question them, they were still terrified when he actually came.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and report to the abbot."

Huiyun did not dare to take charge of such an important matter.

He walked quickly to Chen Qingzhu's door and knocked. After hearing a response from inside, he whispered the matter to him.

The reply came quickly:

"Tell that person that if he wants to see me, Captain Li has to come in person."

And comforted:

"Don't be afraid. I'm here and I won't let Captain Li hurt you in the slightest."

Her voice was firm and gentle, which calmed Huiyun's anxious heart.

Don't use the suspect, but don't use it.

This is how we treat our subordinates, and it should also be how we treat our superiors.

Since she has chosen to follow the master, she should believe that the master will not act without purpose.

She said this to herself in her heart.

Huiyun went to the front hall in person and conveyed Chen Qingzhu's words to the warrior.

"Oh, you're already so old, but you're still acting like a little girl." The warrior sneered with disdain, as if he had seen through their shabby tricks.

"Okay, I'll take this message to the commander. If he gets angry, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Huiyun knew that Captain Li had some shameful dealings with the nun Ci'an in the past, but she still felt uncomfortable when she saw this warrior treating Chen Qingzhu as Ci'an and speaking frivolously.

But in order to avoid any complications, she just frowned and said nothing.

Captain Li's mansion occupies a place in the southern city of Dongfu and Nanfu. The size of the mansion is just like his status in Nandu City. It is not top-notch, but it is also upper-middle.

The male owners, both big and small, lived in the front few rooms of the house, while the female members lived in the back.

It was already dusk at this time. Captain Li returned to the mansion before the city gate was closed. He had just sat down to drink a sip of water with the help of his concubine when he heard a message from a servant.

"Master, Zhang Liu is here and he wants to report something to you."

Captain Li immediately dismissed the charming concubine:

"Tell him to come in."

Although the Southern Capital City was not as powerful as the Capital City, it was also a place with many incompetents. His ability was average, and even with the support of his brother-in-law, who was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, he was only promoted to the position of a thousand households and was never given any promotion.

He was not like those noble families who had huge wealth accumulated by their ancestors for generations. It was all thanks to his sister's hard work that she became the concubine of the Minister of War and gave birth to their only son. Only then was he able to become rich and powerful.

Although he had made some money over the years, relying on his status as a thousand households, he had been able to snatch some fertile land, farms, and shops from various gods and Buddhas in the southern capital city, but in terms of making money, the most profitable industry was still the Jingci Temple.

He and Ci'an always split the profits 30:1, he took 30 and Ci'an took 10:1.

Over the past ten years, he received more than three thousand taels of filial piety every year, and the total amount was close to forty thousand taels.

More than half of his fortune came from the money he earned from Jingci Temple.

It can be said that Jingci Temple is his golden hen.

This golden hen not only lays golden eggs, but also does not require him to invest any capital, let alone worry about its operation. He only needs to borrow a name and send a few people to calm the situation when someone causes trouble.

How could he not value such a high-quality industry?
