Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

"There is such a strange thing! It sounds like a storytelling!"

Some people couldn't help but sigh.

The narrator is not convinced:

"What storytelling? These things were witnessed by the military households in Songhu Camp and the civilians who participated in the war! Everything I said is true. Just ask anyone and you will know!"

Seeing that his words were so convincing, many people believed him.

Some people, out of curiosity, actually asked the military households in the Songhu Camp and the civilians who participated in the war, and they all confirmed once again the existence of gods in this battle.

The name of Du'e Shenzun also began to spread among the people of Songhu.

People's yearning and interest in miracles are even greater than that of the Japanese pirates.

After dinner, at neighborhood or relative gatherings, there will always be someone who enthusiastically chats and brags about it to those who don't know about it, causing everyone to be amazed.

As a result, the deeds of the God of Du'e became more and more popular.

There were even some wealthy local fishermen who took the initiative to ask the military households in the Songhu camp about the appearance of the God of Du'e.

He funded the making of a golden clay statue of the god dressed in colorful robes and placed it in the Temple of Poseidon. He would worship with the Poseidon before going out to sea.

He prayed to the God of Du'e to protect him and help him avoid danger when he encountered storms and pirates at sea.

When the common people heard the news, they also went to worship and thank the God of Du'e for protecting Songhu and prayed that he would continue to protect Songhu from invasion by Japanese pirates.

Whenever talking about the God of Du'e, there is always praise for Zheng Yuannai, the Songhu Lieutenant General -

This really touched the God, causing Him to show up and help this good official!

Zheng Yuannai's reputation as a general who loves his soldiers like his own sons is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and widely spread.

Everyone was excited about the battle of Songhu to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

In addition to the Japanese pirates who were wiped out and the commander-in-chief of the Nandu City.

After all, the Japanese pirates had their lair raided and were either beheaded or sentenced to twenty or thirty years in prison, so they really couldn't be happy.

When Tan Song, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Capital, received Zheng Yuannai's letter, he was so angry that he started to curse:

"What an ungrateful brat! He really doesn't take me seriously!"

After the battle, Zheng Yuannai did not come to Nandu City to discuss it with him, but directly wrote a letter:

Thirty percent of the spoils obtained in this battle will be handed over to the court, thirty percent will be distributed among the civilians who participated in the war and the military households, and forty percent will be retained for military supplies.

Although the amount of property handed over was about 110,000 or 120,000 taels, it was considered a huge fortune.

However, the amount of spoils from the Battle of Shanghai was widely known, even to many foreign merchants. This time, the Japanese pirates were defeated and 390,000 taels of spoils were obtained.

This matter is very likely to reach the ears of political enemies, or even your Majesty.

If he dared to intercept these spoils, he might be accused by his political enemies of embezzling the spoils.

In other words.

Zheng Yuannai is such a bastard. He gained fame and fortune in this battle and made a fortune, but he didn't leave even a scum for his superior!

Tan Song was gritting his teeth in hatred and was thinking about how to teach Zheng Yuannai a painful lesson, when the mansion's chief steward brought him some bad news.

"Master, something serious has happened!"

"It's rumored everywhere in the city that the spy Zhao Qianhu, who is in collusion with the Japanese, has a daughter who is your concubine. It's also said that Zhao Qianhu comes to your house every year to give you gifts!"

Tan Song was suddenly shocked.

"It's spreading everywhere?"

"Yes, many teahouses and taverns are talking about this. I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone in the streets and alleys knows about it!"

Tan Song's eyes went dark immediately, and he finally managed to calm down and asked:

"What did those people say specifically?"

The butler gave him a detailed description of the situation outside.

Those people not only spread the news about the relationship between Zhao Qianhu and him, but also spread the cruel words Zhao Qianhu said before his death.

What is "The Commander-in-Chief will never let you go"?

"Zheng Yuan, you will die without a burial place"

It was told in vivid detail.

Many people were filled with righteous indignation, thinking that he must have colluded with Captain Zhao a long time ago, and would now surely take revenge and frame loyal officials!

Tan Song was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Damn it!

Before he could do anything, he was already labeled a corrupt official by the people as a traitor who committed corruption, abused his power, and framed loyal officials!

A bunch of ordinary people, no matter how they talk, it won't cause any big waves.

What he was worried about was that his political enemies would use this as an excuse to accuse him of colluding with the Japanese, which would be a serious crime!

“Ahhh! How hateful!”

Tan Song was so angry that he yelled wildly, drew the sword from his waist and slashed around in the study.

How could such news spread in Nandu City for no reason?

There must be someone behind this!

Don’t think of anyone else except Zheng Yuannai or General Zheng behind him!

He had never imagined that Zheng Yuannai, this bastard, would actually strike first.

Under the current situation, he didn't even dare to touch Zheng Yuannai!

Not only can Zheng Yuannai not be punished for not ordering the execution of Qian Hu as a raft,

In order to prove his innocence, he had to immediately submit a memorial to praise Zheng Yuannai for his merits, and even praise him for his decisiveness in killing the spy and stabilizing the rear.

That is to say-

In order to restore his reputation and restore his impression in His Majesty's mind, he must behave in an extremely selfless manner!

But this also means that from all the great achievements made by Zheng Yuannai, he could gain nothing, including money, power, fame or fortune!

I have to prepare wedding clothes for Zheng Yuannai!

This kind of situation is the most frustrating I have ever experienced in my life!

What’s even more hateful is that no matter how aggrieved he is, he has no choice but to hold it in.

Before the impact of this incident fades, we must not take any action against Zheng Yuannai!

*

In fact, Commander Tan Du really wronged Zheng Yuannai in this matter.

Zheng Yuannai is a kind-hearted person and would never do such a thing.

The person who arranged this was the cruel and ruthless Master Chen.

It is now mid-May, and the Japanese pirates will soon return home one after another.

Zheng Yuannai led his troops back to a great victory, and Songhu was no longer short of troops, so she basically didn't have to worry about this place anymore.

So, she left a letter for Zheng Yuannai informing him that she was leaving, and then she took Rong Niang back to Nandu by boat.

After returning to Nandu, she did not return to Cihang Temple immediately, but went to find Zhang Liu first and asked him to take people to spread the news in the city.

After all, it was she who ordered Zheng Yuannai to act toughly.

Killing four captains, especially the most evil Captain Zhao, would definitely bring Zheng Yuannai considerable trouble and would be detrimental to his continued promotion.

She will naturally be responsible for cleaning up the mess.

A few days later, Chen Qingzhu was sitting in a restaurant in the city, listening to the diners downstairs talking about Commander Tan. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and looked at Zhang Liu with satisfaction in his eyes.

"well-done!"

She praised him generously and said, "Stay in the garrison camp. When the time comes, I will find a good job for you."

Zhang Liu was immediately overjoyed and thanked him immediately:

"Thank you so much, Master!"

After Captain Li fell from power, he, a subordinate of Captain Li, was also supposed to be liquidated.

But the abbot gave him five thousand taels of silver.

He used the money to make some moves and not only avoided liquidation, but also was promoted from general flag to centurion.

From what the abbot said, he was going to be promoted. How could he not be surprised?

He knew very well that the current fourth-rank lieutenant general Zheng Yuannai was promoted by the temple master.

Now, this tremendous wealth is about to fall on him!
