After rebirth, I became a national teacher

"I haven't been here for more than half a year, and the changes in the Cihang Temple of the God's Envoy are earth-shaking. It shows that the followers of the God's Envoy are indeed pious and have made many offerings to the Cihang Temple."

Captain Li started the conversation.

In front of Chen Qingzhu, he put away his anger and appeared more polite.

Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Chen Qingzhu was not nervous at all. Instead, he smiled and said:

"Of course. Captain Li has also received his share of the profits."

Captain Li snorted in his heart when he saw that she had no guilt at all, but he did not intend to argue with her about this matter for the time being.

"I heard that even the governor of Caojiang, Duke Dingguo's mansion, is a believer of the envoy of God. The wife of Duke Dingguo comes to worship and offer sacrifices on the first and fifteenth day of every month. She is very pious. I wonder if the envoy of God still remembers what he promised me?"

"Of course I remember. Didn't I ask Zhang Liu to go back and tell Qian Hu that this matter cannot be rushed and we need to wait for the right time?"

Captain Li refused to let her get away with it easily:

"The divine envoy does not understand officialdom, and I am afraid he does not know how to seek an official position. I think it would be better if you invite Duke Dingguo and his wife to Taibai Tower in the city on the 15th of this month, and then introduce me to them. They will naturally understand your intention, and how can they offend you?"

Although these words were said politely, the meaning behind them was pressing, causing Chen Qingzhu's eyes to darken slightly.

The original purpose of cooperating with Captain Li was, on the one hand, to eliminate the threat posed by Ci'an's powerful backer to the still weak Cihang Temple.

On the other hand, it was also because she had no one available at that time.

She used this person, but that didn't mean she approved of him.

As the former backer of Jingci Temple, this man even took away two-thirds of the money earned by the temple.

So, rather than saying that Jingci Temple was opened by Ci'an and others, it would be more accurate to say that it belonged to Captain Li.

Captain Li should bear at least half of the responsibility for the life debt of Jingci Temple and the sufferings that the Taoist priests of Cihang Temple have endured.

In addition, he often bullied men and women in the city, took advantage of his strength to bully the weak, and many other people's lives were caused by him.

She would never agree to recommend such a person who has committed so many evil deeds, even for her own merits, so that he could climb to a higher position and harm more powerless businessmen and people.

What's more, she had already promised Huiyun Hui'an that she would help them take revenge on all those who had persecuted them.

This naturally includes Captain Li.

"Captain Li, are you ordering me to do something?" Chen Qingzhu's tone was casual, but his eyes were sharp.

Captain Li's face immediately darkened.

The atmosphere between the two sides was becoming tense when Huiyun walked into the reception hall carrying a tea tray.

"Master Qianhu, please have a cup of tea first."

She placed a cup of tea on the table next to Captain Li.

In fact, Chen Qingzhu did not ask her to serve, nor did he plan to invite Li Qianhu for tea.

Huiyun herself felt that since most of the other people didn't know the specific transaction between the abbot and Captain Li, it would be better for her to wait and see if she could help in any way.

Seeing that the talks between the two were about to break down, she walked in with the tea she had prepared long ago, intending to help the abbot deal with Captain Li.

After all, she had dealt with Captain Li many times and knew him quite well.

In this way, the situation can be prevented from becoming too tense between the two sides, which would prevent Captain Li, a jackal, from taking desperate measures and damaging the reputation of Cihang Temple.

Hearing the soft and familiar female voice, Captain Li's attention immediately shifted to Huiyun.

I saw Kun Taoist in front of me, wearing a green Taoist robe, with her hair simply tied up. There was no makeup on her pretty face, but her skin was as delicate as porcelain, her lips were as rosy as petals, and her pair of delicate phoenix eyes were clearly black and white, and looked particularly clear. Her whole body had the dignified demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

After taking a closer look, not only the voice sounded familiar, but the face was also familiar, except that now without makeup, he looked much better.
