Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Zhang Liu also came to Cihang Temple on the same day as Madam Zeng.

However, Zhang Liu came in the early morning.

After receiving the message late at night, Chen Qingzhu ordered:

"Bring him to the reception hall, I will see him in person."

"Yes."

Chen Qingzhu went to the reception hall first. Not long after, he saw Hui'an leading a burly man in tight clothes in.

As soon as Zhang Liu walked into the reception hall, he was stunned by the abbot's radiant look and immediately lowered his head.

Although it looks good, he doesn't want the audience to think he is disrespectful.

"I am Zhang Liu, the humble servant, and I am here to see the abbot!"

He knelt on one knee and bowed deeply.

"Get up and sit down."

"Yes."

Chen Qingzhu was very satisfied with his respectful attitude.

"Zhang Liu, you are quite courageous. I slapped your garrison commander in the face yesterday, and you dare to come here today. Aren't you afraid that he will embarrass you?"

Marquis Jingnan is the garrison commander of Nando and the highest authority in the Nando camp.

Although we cannot mobilize troops at will, nor can we do anything to people with connections like Captain Li, but dealing with small minions like Zhang Liu is as easy as crushing an ant.

"Of course I am afraid, but fear cannot stop me from serving the master!" Zhang Liu rubbed his hands and laughed, "Besides, I came here in the dark at night!"

Chen Qingzhu chuckled:

"That's quite clever!"

Zhang Liu smiled and looked very honest, without any of the ferocious and arrogant look he had the first time.

"I don't deserve the master's praise!"

"This time, I came here mainly to report the news about Jingnan Marquis Mansion to the temple master."

As he spoke, he told the story of how Zhang had committed suicide by cutting her wrists, and how she had hired famous doctors from half the city to save her, and that she was finally out of danger today.

"It is said that the Marquis' wife lost a lot of blood this time. Not only is her left hand disabled, but her life span may also be shortened."

Chen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

This is something Zhang can do.

Others cut off their tails to survive, but she cut off her hands to survive.

However, this matter is not over yet.

One hand alone is not enough.

"Since you are here, please help me pass a message to Yan Tongzhi and ask him to send someone to keep an eye on He Wang. If anyone wants to save him, let them do it."

Zhang Liu didn't ask the reason and agreed directly.

Chen Qingzhu ordered again:

"Tell Captain Li that you can start arranging the next believer."

"Yes!"

Seeing that he was well-behaved, Chen Qingzhu took out a five-liang gold ingot and placed it on the table in front of him:

"It costs money to manage people, take it."

When Zhang Liu saw the golden thing under the candlelight, he was so happy that his eyes were wide open.

"Thank you for the reward, Master!"

He quickly put the gold in his arms.

In this cold winter, my heart is warmer than a hot pot!

What did he say? There is a future in following the master!

Not only is there a future, there is also money to be made!

He spent five taels of gold at once, which, converted into silver, would be more than sixty taels! How could he afford to spend so much money just to bribe people?

It’s really generous!

Moreover, the master is particularly compassionate.

No one told him to go to the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion to inquire about the news; he did it on his own.

The temple master knew that it would cost money for him to gather information, and he also knew that it was dangerous for him to make this trip at night.

The master of the temple understood all his intentions and approved of them!

This is simply...

Zhang Liu couldn't say anything fancy, he just felt that it was great to follow a master like the abbot.

It's worth risking my life for her!

*

Zhang Liu left happily to help Chen Qingzhu run errands.

But this night was destined to be restless.

Not long after, Hui'an came again.

She even felt a little embarrassed for disturbing Chen Qingzhu twice in one night.

Chen Qingzhu, on the other hand, was more good-tempered and showed no impatience at all. He asked in a gentle voice:

"But what happened again?"

Unless they were unsure about something, they generally would not disturb Chen Qingzhu.

Hui An sighed and said:

"Master, you will know when you come out and see."

Chen Qingzhu went to the front hall as he was told. Before he arrived there, he heard a baby crying.

When I walked over to take a look, I saw a baby wrapped in a thin swaddling cloth, his face was already blue and purple from the cold. He was so skinny and weak, as thin as a kitten.

It looks like it’s not even a full moon yet.

Hui An Road:

"Just now when I was patrolling the Discipline Hall, I heard someone knocking on the door. When I went out, I found the child on the ground."

“I’m afraid that some people heard that we were going to open a Salesian church and sent their children here.”

A Kun Daoist from the Discipline Hall complained:

"This is really too much! The Salesian Church accepts orphans, but this child clearly has parents. Why send him here? And he's so young, it's hard for us to raise him!"

Hui An took a look at Chen Qingzhu's expression and asked tentatively:

"The person who sent the child should not have gone far. Master, do you think we should chase him back or keep the child?"

Chen Qingzhu glanced at her with a smile:

"Don't you have an idea?"

If I really wanted to pursue her, I would definitely do it right away. I still have to ask her for permission for such a small matter.

Moreover, he took her to see the child.

Hui'an is a person with a cold face and a soft heart.

Hui'an was rarely embarrassed, and then he said in a heavy tone:

"I feel that in such a cold day, they didn't even leave a thick swaddling cloth for the child. Even if we catch the person and return the child to them, I'm afraid the child won't survive..."

"If the abbot feels that this is inappropriate, I will use my monthly allowance to provide food and drink for the child from now on."

Chen Qingzhu waved his hand:

"Why are you saying that? It's not like the temple can't afford to raise the child. Since the child has been sent here, let the Salesian Church raise him."

With the money she has now, raising one more child will not make any difference.

As he said this, he walked forward, placed his hand on the baby's forehead, and transferred some spiritual energy to her.

It is still very cold in Nandu at night in February.

I don’t know how long this child has been suffering from the cold. If he doesn’t receive some spiritual energy, he will probably get sick soon.

After losing all his spiritual energy, Chen Qingzhu ordered:

"You guys take care of him first, and tomorrow morning I'll ask Huijing to pick someone gentle and considerate to take care of him."

At this moment, she never expected that this child was not an accident, but just the beginning.

In just three days, eight children were secretly sent to Cihang Temple.

Without exception, all were baby girls, and the oldest was no more than three months old.

The gentle Huijing was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and cursed in front of Chen Qingzhu.

"Master, please tell me about these people. Are you speaking human language? We can't afford to support them. Let's be kind and give these children a chance to live!"

"How can they afford to support their son? When it comes to their daughter, it's as if there is no other way out except for our Cihang Temple!"

The Salesian Church has not yet been built.

As there were too many baby girls sent in, Cihang Temple had assigned two female Taoist priests and two docile and well-behaved laborers to take care of the babies.

The three leaders in the temple all felt that this was not a solution, so they all came to Chen Qingzhu for advice.

Huiyun said worriedly:

"Master, the Salesian Hall is full of babies who are only one or two months old, and some are just a few days old. It takes too much manpower!"

"If this continues, I'm afraid that when more and more people know about it, everyone in our temple will have to take care of the child! This will seriously affect the daily training in the temple."

It’s not that she has no sympathy, but before that, she has to protect the interests of Cihang Temple first.

The daily training of Cihang Temple is directly related to the improvement of the self-protection ability of the entire Cihang Temple.

We cannot allow the kindness of some people to drag down the entire Cihang Temple.
