After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Like Old Lady Li, Qin Zhenniang's husband, Qiao Shiyou, also gloated over the fact that the disciples and believers of Cihang Temple were labeled as traitors.

Ever since he was forced to divorce Zhenniang, he finally understood what it meant that "a penny can make a hero fall."

Not only was he no longer able to go out to entertain guests and socialize, or buy his favorite study treasures and books, but even the basic food and drink at home began to run short.

In the dead of winter, there was a shortage of charcoal and he was shivering with cold.

His mother had no servants at home, so she had to do the housework herself, and she got frostbite on her hands and feet.

After a few days of such hardship, the three members of the family began to regret being forced into a hasty divorce by Zhenniang.

Teacher Qiao knew very well that it would be difficult for him to pass the imperial examination in such a harsh environment.

On New Year's Eve, an old friend told him that the Qin family was now the guests of honor of the Nandu Prefecture and the Duke of Dingguo.

He ran to the Qin residence and saw that both the prefect and the Duke Dingguo's mansion had sent people to deliver New Year gifts to the Qin family.

Teacher Qiao was extremely excited. Wasn't this kind of connection exactly what he had dreamed of when he originally wanted to divorce Zhen Niang?

What's more, the Qin family has money and is willing to spend money on him.

He completely overcame his fear of Zhenniang, began to turn over a new leaf, and begged for Zhenniang's forgiveness and reconciliation.

He thought that since he and Zhenniang had a son, they had an unbreakable bond.

Who would have known that the Qin family was so cruel that they not only kicked him out without mercy, but also had someone put a sack around him and beat him to death on his way home.

That time, his hands and feet were almost crippled.

Teacher Qiao was frightened again and stopped.

After all, the Qin family was on good terms with those top dignitaries, and if they were really angered, it wouldn't be difficult for them to simply strip him of his title of Juren, which he had worked so hard to obtain, and make their family disappear from this world without a trace.

Since then, he didn't dare to bother Zhen Niang anymore, but he still secretly paid attention to the news of the Qin family in the hope of finding other opportunities.

Early this morning, he was wandering outside Qin's house as usual, but suddenly he found that a large group of imperial guards had surrounded Qin's house and even rushed in to arrest people.

After some inquiries, they found out that Cihang Temple was labeled as a traitor, and the Qin family, as a devout believer of the traitor, were also implicated.

The imperial envoy ordered that all members of the Qin family be arrested and put in prison.

Teacher Qiao was overjoyed.

When I went back and told my parents the good news, they were also very happy:

"The heavens finally have eyes! The Qin family has received retribution!"

"When the Qin family is beheaded, we will throw rotten eggs at them!"

The whole family is looking forward to this day.

"Alas, it's a pity for our grandson..." said Qiao's mother.

Father Qiao glared at her:

"That's the grandson of the Qin family. He has nothing to do with us! As everyone knows, our teachers and friends have completely severed all ties with the Qin family."

Teacher Qiao also said:

"Yes, mother. There is nothing to regret. When the Qin family is no longer suppressing their son, with my status as a juren, it will not be difficult for me to find a merchant girl to support me in the imperial examination. Then you can have as many grandchildren as you want!"

Only then did Qiao's mother become happy again.

The whole family was immersed in the excitement that the entire Qin family was about to be executed.

Those who are ignorant and take pleasure in other people's misfortune are destined to be disappointed.

Less than an hour after the commander of the imperial guards gave the order, all 3,000 imperial guards in the Nando Palace gathered outside the Nando government office.

When they arrived, they saw their commander hanging by a rattan stick at the gate of the government office like a duck swimming in the water, his face flushed red.

Upon seeing this, the deputy commander in chief shouted angrily:

"Evil Taoist! Let our leader go immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for tearing you into pieces!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded by his own leader:

"Shut up, you ignorant bastard! If you dare to disrespect the Lord God again, you will be punished by military law!"

After that, he gave another loud order:

"All the imperial guards obey orders. The emperor is incompetent and unjust. The God of Du'e has risen up to save the people from suffering. We should follow him!"
