After rebirth, I became a national teacher

The focus of Captain Li's case was that Captain Li harbored Japanese pirates and recovered offerings for Cihang Temple.

Even Yan Qingzhi did not know what other losses the Cihang Temple suffered besides the robbery of offerings during the attack by the Japanese pirates.

At that time, Zheng Yuannai came to borrow troops and said that the temple owner wanted to recover the offerings and capture the Japanese pirates and their accomplices who had fled into the city. He did not dare to ask more questions and went according to the arrangements.

He was so busy with the Qian family who was involved behind the Japanese pirates that he was dizzy. It was only when his shift was almost over that he remembered to ask Madam Yan to prepare some comfort items and go to Cihang Temple to visit the abbot and the Taoist priests.

As for the others, they only learned about the robbery of Cihang Temple when they heard from the servants that "a Taoist temple called Cihang Temple was attacked by Japanese pirates, and many valuable offerings were stolen" and so on.

Judging from the rumors, Cihang Temple seemed to have suffered a great loss in the attack of Japanese pirates.

But even so, it still cannot affect its status in the hearts of believers.

After all, the Japanese pirates were notoriously ferocious, and even the government troops were helpless against them. What's more, apart from the abbot, there were only more than 30 female Taoist priests in Cihang Temple.

Although the master of the temple has many magical powers, he does not seem to be very strong in martial arts, so it is normal for him to be robbed by the Japanese pirates.

If anyone looks down on the master because of this, that would be a fool.

They wish there were more idiots like this among their followers so that they can appear more pious.

Early the next morning, many believers rushed to Cihang Temple with offerings, craftsmen, money, food, building materials, doctors' medicines and other items.

When everyone saw each other when they parked the car, they were immediately disappointed.

Except for Old Madam Yuan from the Censor's family, everyone came.

It seems that those who can become the devout believers of the temple are not stupid.

Everyone sighed and went to the temple together.

As soon as I walked into the main hall, I saw Zheng Yuannai's wife, Wei, directing craftsmen to replace the broken stone slabs in the yard behind the main hall.

Taoist Master Huiyun was also there, talking to Wei with a smile on his face.

Qin Dafu was the first to run forward and said with concern:

"Master Huiyun, I heard that Cihang Temple was attacked by Japanese pirates the night before yesterday. Are the abbot and all the Taoist priests safe? In addition to this courtyard, is there any other damage? I brought craftsmen with me and they can help repair and rebuild it immediately."

Madam Zeng, who was running out of breath, was unwilling to be outdone and said:

"But someone is injured. I brought medicine and a doctor!"

Du Zongquan, the president of the Nandu Chamber of Commerce, came up next:

"I heard that the Japanese pirates like to kill and burn people. Did they burn any belongings? It's cold in winter, so I brought some bedding and clothes to the temple master and the Taoist priests for emergency..."

Liu, the richest man, also came over and said:

"I don't know what the temple needs. I brought five thousand taels of silver. If the Taoist priests and temple masters need anything, just ask them to buy it. If the money is not enough, just let me know!"

Lady Dingguo found an opening and quickly squeezed to Huiyun's side:

"Master, do you know which group of Japanese pirates robbed Cihang Temple? I asked my master to arrest these people and bring them to avenge the temple master and the Taoist priests!"

……

Everyone was talking to each other with concern, fearing that they would fall behind and appear not to be diligent and pious enough, so Huiyun didn't even have a chance to speak.

When Wei saw this, she immediately covered her mouth and laughed.

Everyone looked at her in confusion, and then they quieted down.

"What are you laughing at, Madam Zheng?" The wife of Duke Dingguo was a little displeased.

Wei said:

"I laugh at everyone's concern. Why don't we first listen to Taoist Huiyun's words about what Cihang Temple really needs?"

Huiyun squeezed out of the crowd and looked at everyone with a smile:

"Thank you all for your kindness, but the only thing damaged in the temple is the stone slab in the courtyard. Madam Zheng has already brought people to repair it. Nothing else is needed."

Everyone found it incredible.

Logically speaking, when the Japanese pirates attacked, they burned, killed, looted and killed without mercy, so there would be some losses to the houses, furniture and other property in the temple. How come only the stone slabs in the yard were damaged?
