After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Zhang Liu was envious and was just waiting for Captain Li to throw one to him, then his trip would be worth it.

So he reminded:

"Sir, the master of the Divine Envoy Temple asked me to tell you that you did a great job this time. The Qin family's offering will be converted into 700 taels of silver, half for each person. There should be a larger amount in a few days, so please wait to receive the money."

Captain Li was in a good mood and said jokingly:

"You are honest and didn't cheat me of any money in private."

Zhang Liu hurriedly said:

"How dare I! You will know once you ask Master Chen in the future. Do I dare to do such a thing that will cost me my life?"

Captain Li picked up a ten-liang silver ingot and threw it into Zhang Liu's arms:

"Here, go down and have a drink."

Zhang Liu took the silver and ran away happily.

Captain Li looked at the remaining silver in the bag and thought about Chen Qingzhu's words, and his heart was burning with excitement.

Cooperating with Master Chen is much more promising than working with Ci'an's brothel.

In just four days, Master Chen earned him three hundred and fifty taels of silver. From what she said, there would be an even greater sum later, which would be at least four hundred taels.

In other words, he only sent a few people to gather information and then gossiped a few words in front of relevant people, and he earned at least seven hundred taels.

If he worked harder and brought more pilgrims to Master Chen, he would be able to earn three or four thousand taels in less than a month, which would be equivalent to the annual tribute given by Cixi.

There are many rich people in Nandu City. In a year, his current wealth can double!

Master Chen is simply his God of Wealth!

Thinking of this, the next day he actively sent people to find a second suitable pilgrim for Chen Qingzhu.

And Mrs. Zhang, the wife of Marquis Jingnan, who was being missed by Chen Qingzhu, was also missing her now.

Of course, this kind of remembrance is not so friendly and is accompanied by gnashing of teeth.

The main reason was that she had been doing well in the backyard of Jingnan Marquis' Mansion for many years, and it had been a long time since anyone had made her feel as suffocated as Chen Qingzhu. But she couldn't immediately deal with the person who dared to plot against her.

When I came to my senses, the more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

However, it happened to be the New Year holiday, and Marquis Jingnan Pei Xiao was on vacation at home, so she couldn't ask anyone to investigate the backup plan that Chen Qingzhu had left in Marquis Jingnan's mansion.

After all, investigating this matter involves interrogation, and any big movements will easily attract Pei Xiao's attention.

Aunt Liu comforted her:

"Madam, don't worry. You have specifically instructed us that Chen Qingzhu will not have an easy time in Jingci Temple."

Zhang felt better when she thought about the special care she had asked Jingci Temple to give to Chen Qingzhu.

"Hmph, after the New Year, I will find out what she did and then have her taken to the other courtyard. I will torture her and then let her die. Only then can I get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

Aunt Liu said:

"Of course. Once you get rid of her minions, she will be at your disposal!"

This belief supported Zhang as she finished all the New Year banquets and sent Pei Xiao to the military camp after the Lantern Festival. Only then did she start to have people conduct a large-scale investigation into Chen Qingzhu's so-called back-up plan.

This is a huge project.

Every maid, servant and boy who has had contact with Chen Qingzhu is a possibility.

Before she finds the exact person, she cannot alert the enemy and can only observe slowly.

So, several days passed and there was still no clue.

This made Zhang very anxious.

In addition to venting her anger, there were other more important reasons that prompted her to completely deal with Chen Qingzhu as soon as possible:

A few years ago, the Zhang family in the capital sent people to give her and the eldest young master Pei Jin New Year gifts.

It was said to be a New Year gift, but in fact it was also to monitor whether her stepmother treated the only child left by her first cousin well.

The people her aunt left by her side had been cut off by her and were unable to pass on messages to the capital, but she was unable to bribe the people sent by the capital.
