After rebirth, I became a national teacher

What Chen Qingzhu instructed was closely related to Zhang Liu's future, so Zhang Liu worked very hard.

So, within two days.

In the Silijian government office in the south of the city, Liang Bao, the eunuch in charge of the seal, was sitting on the armchair drinking tea.

A young eunuch came forward with a snuff bottle to flatter him.

Seeing that Liang Bao had little interest in the snuff bottle he had found with great difficulty, the young eunuch was unwilling to give up and continued to try to please him:

"Father, I heard a strange story from a Yangzhou businessman a few days ago."

Liang Bao glanced at him calmly. The young eunuch did not dare to keep him in suspense and said quickly:

"Have you heard of Zheng Baizhan, the general of Yangzhou? He was injured when he was young and can't be a human being. Now he is over 40 years old and should be a grandfather, but an old aunt in the family gave him a little child!"

"Oh?" Liang Bao said with a sneer on his face, "Could it be that you've been cuckolded?"

The young eunuch said:

"If being cuckolded was such a common thing, I wouldn't dare to waste your time. The strange thing is that Na'er looks very similar to Zheng Baizhan. You can tell they are his biological child!"

Hearing this, Liang Bao's heart was moved.

Although he had only been in Nandu for a year, he already had a good understanding of the high-ranking officials in and around Nandu City.

Zheng Baizhan had been deeply impressed when he was investigating his information.

After all, most officials in the court were afraid of and secretly despised the eunuchs.

But Zheng Baizhan had injured his body when he was young and was infertile, which made him not much different from the eunuchs, so he subconsciously had to pay more attention to him.

But now, Zheng Baizhan has regained his fertility at such an old age. It is obvious that he has found a miracle doctor.

That miracle doctor was able to cure Zheng Baizhan, but I wonder if he could cure him since his condition was more serious...

Once this thought came to mind, it was as difficult to suppress as a raging wildfire.

As a eunuch, from the moment he entered the palace, he was destined to have no children in his life.

After he became successful, he also adopted many godsons and grandsons.

Those people called him dad and grandpa, but he knew in his heart that they were just after his power.

When he gets old and retires from his high position, who will care about him?

He also takes good care of his nephew back home.

Since his nephew had no talent for studying, he gave him a lot of money to start a business, hoping that when he returned to his hometown when he was old, his nephew would be able to take care of him in his old age.

But the lessons learned from other eunuchs were right in front of them. How could they take good care of their nephews, whom they hadn't gotten along with for decades, when they were no longer of any use to them?

Many of them were squeezed dry of their property and eventually starved to death.

Sometimes when he thought about this, he found it difficult to suppress the hatred in his heart.

The life at home now is completely different from when he was a child.

This was all earned by his purification into the palace.

But why was he the one who was sacrificed?

In his entire life, he has never lived like a normal man, and I'm afraid that after his death there won't even be any incense to worship him.

He was in a high position and had a huge fortune, but in the end, all of it went to others. He was really unwilling to accept this!

But no matter how unwilling he was, the only things he could truly possess were the power and money in his hands.

He can only hold on to the power in his hands more tightly while he still can, so as to make more money for his later years.

In his dreams at midnight, he often thought that if he could exchange everything he has now for being a normal person and having his own wife and children, he would be willing to do so!

But that can only be a fantasy, there is no such if in the world.

But now, Zheng Baizhan’s case gave him hope!

He sent away the eunuch who came to curry his favor with a calm expression, and as soon as he got off duty and returned to his private residence, he immediately sent a confidant to Yangzhou to inquire about the matter.

Thanks to Chen Qingzhu's arrangement, the matter was investigated very smoothly.

The confidant who went to investigate soon learned:

The reason why Zheng Baizhan was able to recover was because his son Zheng Yuannai obtained the elixir from a place called Cihang Temple in the southern capital city.

"Eunuch, that elixir is truly miraculous! You can't believe that General Zheng, who is now famous in Songhu, was a sickly man with tuberculosis who would fall down at the slightest gust of wind a year ago!"

"His father, Zheng Baizhan, was also nearly dead from tetanus. After drinking the elixir Zheng Yuannai begged for, not only did his life come back, but his long-standing illness was also cured. Now he has a son in his old age!"

Liang Bao's heartbeat quickened when he heard this, but he became confused again:

"The Cihang Temple is so magical, it should be very famous in Nandu City. How come we have never heard of this place before?"

The confidant took the opportunity to show off his achievements:

"It is said that Cihang Temple does not allow this matter to be easily spread. I spent a high price of two hundred taels of silver to find out this matter from the housekeeper of the Zheng family!"

This is extremely reasonable.

If everyone knew about that magical dew, I'm afraid the Cihang Temple would have been packed with people long ago.

It is a troublesome matter whether to give it to someone or not.

It is reasonable for Cihang Temple and those families who have obtained the elixir to keep this a secret.

"I'm sorry to have cost you so much money. Go to the account office later to get two hundred and fifty taels of silver. The rest will be yours as a reward!"

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

The confidant immediately said happily.

"Do you know how to obtain the elixir from Cihang Temple?"

Liang Bao asked.

The confidant also got the news in full:

"It is said that one must often go there to burn incense and make offerings, become a devout believer of the Cihang Temple, or make great contributions, in order to be granted this item by the temple master."

Then he said flatteringly:

"My Lord, do you want the elixir? I will go to Cihang Temple and ask the Taoist priests to give you a few bottles!"

In his opinion, with the power of his master, is there anyone in the city of Nandu who would dare not appreciate his kindness?

Unexpectedly, Liang Bao's face darkened when he heard this, and he scolded sharply:

"You fool who acted on his own! If you dare to do something that I didn't tell you to do, I will skin you alive!"

Although there are many advantages to following a eunuch, his temper is also very unpredictable.

The confidant was frightened and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. After a while, Liang Bao said:

"This matter ends here. Not a word of it is allowed to be spread outside. If anyone else hears even a word of it, your whole family will not be able to survive. Do you understand?"

"Yes! I won't tell anyone!"

The confidant said hurriedly.

*

After sending his confidants away, Liang Bao kept thinking about the effects of the magic dew.

He was not sure whether the magic dew could help him fulfill his wish, but there was no doubt that Cihang Temple was the most promising place.

Thinking of the fat baby with arms and legs like lotus roots, Liang Bao felt hot in his heart and couldn't sleep the whole night.

Even if he was discovered and ended up losing his head, he still wanted to give it a try.

Besides, as long as he was careful, this matter would not be discovered.

If nothing unexpected happens, he can serve in Nandu for three years.

In the past three years, he has been the dominant force in this area and few people can threaten him.

If you want to leave descendants for yourself, Nandu is the safest place now.

There are only two years left. If we want to do this, the sooner we start, the safer it will be.

Thinking of this, Liang Bao disguised himself early the next morning and asked another confidant who kept his mouth shut to drive him to Cihang Temple.
