After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Chapter 292

When the two arrived at the main courtyard, Minister Li was also sitting in the main hall of the main courtyard.

Although there were a few strands of silver hair on his head, his face looked very energetic. With a hooked nose and sharp eyes, he looked like a stern person.

At this moment, he sat at the top with a sullen face. Old Madam Li, who had the final say in the mansion, and Master Li, who was deeply favored by Old Madam Li, did not dare to breathe.

The reason for this has to start from two quarters ago.

Last night, Minister Li stayed out for a social event until late and drank too much. He had a severe headache, so he stayed in the room of a concubine who was good at massage.

I slept until noon.

As the head of the Ministry of War and with the emperor far away, he naturally did not have to report for duty on time every day. If he was not feeling well, he would simply rest at home.

After taking the sobering soup and feeling better, he thought of his sick eldest grandson, so he came to his lady's courtyard to inquire about the matter.

Who would have known that she had heard from her eldest son that there was a Taoist temple called Cihang Temple with superb medical skills that could cure her grandson's illness, but the people in that Taoist temple were so arrogant that they dared to refuse their Shangshu Mansion. They sent Li Da to kidnap people before dawn.

"I'm afraid they will be back soon! Then they will definitely be able to cure Gui'er's illness!" said Mrs. Li happily.

The more Minister Li listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He no longer had the mood to drink the tea in his hand:

"Are you talking about the Cihang Temple in the east of the city?"

"That's right. That ungrateful Taoist temple is in the east of the city!"

Master Li nodded affirmatively.

The next moment, the teacup in Minister Li's hand fell in front of him with a bang:

"Stupid thing!"

"Master, what's going on?"

Mrs. Li asked tremblingly.

Minister Li's anger immediately turned to her, pointing at her nose and scolding:

"You often socialize with people outside without even bringing your brain with you! That Cihang Temple, don't you think it sounds familiar?"

After he mentioned this, Madam Li quickly recalled and said:

"It sounds a little familiar."

But she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

"You don't know either?" Minister Li questioned his son again.

Mr. Li usually only cared about sleeping with prostitutes and never cared about business. Hearing this, he shuddered and said:

"I have...some impression...but...I can't remember it."

God knows, it's just a Taoist temple and he doesn't believe in religion, how could he know.

Why does his father act like he should know?

When Minister Li saw the expressions of the two men, he became even more furious.

This eldest son is just as stupid as his old wife, and has not inherited any of her shrewdness and wisdom.

Not wanting to argue with them, Minister Li said directly:

"The Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion ordered his servants to set fire to Cihang Temple, and later it became the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion. Do you remember it?"

The two looked shocked.

Master Li said:

"It's actually like this... This, this is just a rural Taoist temple. They shouldn't have any extraordinary backers, right?"

Madam Li also comforted herself:

"Didn't they suffer because of Censor Yuan's report to the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion? Censor Yuan used to be a busybody, maybe this is a relapse of his old habit..."

Minister Li repeatedly stressed that it didn't matter what they did to the common people, but they must not mess with the wrong people.

Looking at Minister Li's expression, she actually vaguely realized that she seemed to be in trouble.

Moreover, she suddenly remembered that the wife of Censor Yuan was critically ill and was cured at Cihang Temple.

"Zheng Yuannai, the son of the general of Yangzhou, prayed at Cihang Temple a few days ago and organized the disciples of Cihang Temple to capture more than a hundred Japanese pirates."

This matter has been a major event in the Ministry of War in recent days.

In order to get a piece of the pie, the entire core members of the Ministry of War racked their brains to write the questions, and Minister Li was naturally very familiar with the key figures among them.

"The two major events both involved the presence of Cihang Temple. Do you still think that Cihang Temple is simple?"

He had originally planned to ask his wife to go to Cihang Temple to burn some incense and find out the truth after the matter was settled. Unexpectedly, before he even opened his mouth, these two idiots in the family had already offended Cihang Temple!
