After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Today's events can be said to have completely exceeded his expectations.

Cihang Temple had always honestly sent him a considerable share of offerings, which made him feel that Cihang Temple did not dare to abandon him easily because it had something on him.

Even if he had more help, they would just slack off and not give him any promotion.

But today, it seems that the woman surnamed Chen would rather lose her skin than not kick him, her collaborator, away.

As a result, he was put in a passive position.

On the one hand, a handle is only a deterrent when it has not been made public.

On the other hand, Cihang Temple is now developing very well. As long as he can completely control it, he will be able to bring him extraordinary wealth and power. How can he easily damage the reputation of Cihang Temple?

That handle can only be used as a threat, but not as a real means of attack.

A dark light flashed in Zhang Liu's eyes, and he thought:

All his actions were planned by the master of the temple. It was simply a pipe dream for a person like this to want to control the master of the temple.

On the surface, Zhang Liu still said unwillingly:

"But they are so rude to you, how can you let them go so easily!"

Hatred flashed in Li Qianhu's eyes, and he said gloomily:

"Of course we can't let them go easily! But we have to think of a proper way to deal with them. Without my order, none of you are allowed to act on your own!"

Zhang Liu said in a servile manner:

"Then I will also help Master Qianhu to think together!"

In the reception hall

As soon as Captain Li and Zhang Liu left, Huiyun knelt down in front of Chen Qingzhu with a look of remorse on her face.

"Master, it was all because of my own initiative that things got to this point! Please punish me!"

The abbot clearly did not call her out to entertain guests today, but she took the initiative to appear in front of Captain Li.

If not for this, Captain Li would not have had evil thoughts about her, and the temple master would not have been so angry that he would not have severely punished Captain Li and caused the matter to become so out of hand.

She did not blame the abbot for hitting Captain Li. On the contrary, she was very touched that the abbot was willing to turn against Captain Li to protect her dignity.

She only blamed herself for acting on her own and creating such a big mess.

Chen Qingzhu raised his hand slightly, forcing Huiyun to stand up from the ground, and said softly:

"Okay, Huiyun, don't blame yourself. I know you came here for the sake of the temple. I was wrong about this matter. I thought you would be frightened if you knew that Captain Li was coming to visit, so I didn't tell you about it in advance."

She would naturally not neglect such a thing.

She just wanted to create an opportunity to make this capable subordinate completely loyal to her.

Surprises are always better than being told in advance.

Huiyun will come, and Captain Li will use Huiyun as an excuse to test her. This is not in her plan, but it does not affect her overall plan.

The gentler her attitude was, the more guilty Huiyun felt:

"I ruined things after all. It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Captain Li is a complete villain. The temple master took action against him because of me. I don't know what he will do behind my back."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingzhu stared into her eyes solemnly and said:

"Huiyun, do you still remember that when I first met Captain Li and decided to cooperate with him, I told you and Hui'an that since you have pledged your loyalty to me, you are the ones I want to protect. How can I allow such a loyal and capable subordinate of mine to be humiliated at will!"

Such domineering protection made Huiyun's eyes warm up involuntarily.

Then Chen Qingzhu continued:

"Besides, I promised you that sooner or later I would avenge you and take back the property we gave to Captain Li with interest. Even if you didn't come today, I was going to find another reason to quarrel with him and fulfill my promise to you."

Huiyun's heart was shaken.

She always thought that the master might have forgotten these words long ago.

And now that she follows the master of the temple, it is enough for her to have this status and position and to be able to participate in so many meaningful events.

They never expected that the abbot would really kill Captain Li for them.

After all, this man has the support of the Qian family and his ways are wild. Even if the Cihang Temple today has a believer as powerful as Duke Dingguo, it is impossible for them to rashly order Duke Dingguo to offend the Qian family and kill a well-known military officer in the Ministry of War.

It is even more impossible to kill Captain Li directly at Cihang Temple.

Many people will surely know that Captain Li came to Cihang Temple. If he died in Cihang Temple, it would be difficult for them to escape the crime of murder, and they would also become enemies with the Qian family.

She had long wanted to not want to destroy the Cihang Temple foundation that they and the temple master had worked so hard to build for the sake of such a bad man.

But the master of the temple actually kept it in mind.

Not afraid of making enemies or getting into trouble, he went ahead with his plan without consulting them at all, leaving no room for reversal.

This is enough to show that the master of the temple really wants to avenge them, rather than just bluffing and asking them to dissuade him for the sake of the overall situation.

Thinking of this, Huiyun felt extremely sad and couldn't stop the heat in her eyes.

"Master, you don't have to do this, you really don't have to do this..."

Huiyun sobbed uncontrollably.

Chen Qingzhu walked up to her, gently wiped away her tears, and said with a smile:

"Why are you crying with joy? Isn't it too early? At least we should wait until we capture Captain Li's head in a fair and square manner and take back all his property before we cry!"

Huiyun immediately felt embarrassed.

She tried hard to hold back her tears, but with tears still in her eyes, a somewhat genuine smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She asked:

"Has the master of the temple already thought of a solution?"
