[1] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

85-86

Chapter 85: This move was too ruthless

Xiao Hanzheng knew that Mo Qingling wasn't a greedy person who would take credit from others.

He did not pretend to decline and cupped his hands. "Yes!"

If that magistrate related to the Wu family had gotten the formula, he would definitely write it in his own handwriting and would even say that he had discovered it by accident in front of the emperor.

He would deliberately omit their credits, and then, when the time was right, he would also get rid of them, leaving no future trouble.

Therefore, having the righteous Mo Qingling for this was the best.

Xiao Hanzheng wrote down the formula and its origin and handed it to Mo Qingling.

"Sir, I happen to be free now. Why don't I start teaching people how to make ice from today?"

The people from the magistrature and Eldest Young Master Wu should already be on their way to the village.

Mo Qingling was also an extremely efficient person. "Yes!"

He then personally wrote a secret memorial, along with Xiao Hanzheng's formula and a few saltpetre that the other party had brought with him.

He immediately ordered people to send them to the county yamen on horseback.

After that, he immediately let the people from the county yamen to write an announcement that Scholar Xiao would teach others how to make ice for free at the county yamen.

Any interested individual could join in.

When Xiao Hanzheng came to the county in the morning, he gave a few small beggars a few copper wen each and told them to keep an eye on the county yamen.

As long as they posted a notice, they would immediately spread the news in the county.

Soon, the news spread like wildfire. Many people in the county knew that they could learn how to make ice for free.

Many people were curious and ran to the county yamen to see.

When they saw that they could really make ice in summer, many exclaimed that it was magical and began to learn from Xiao Hanzheng.

Some people were just joining in the fun, while others had the intention to make money.

On the other hand, in the village.

Shi Qingluo was cooking green bean soup for the villagers in the workshop.

Just as she poured it for everyone to drink, Eldest Young Master Wu walked in with a middle-aged man.

When the villagers saw Eldest Young Master Wu again, they all stood up with bowls in their hands and stared at him warily.

Today, Dalang went to the county town. They could not let them bully his wife.

Eldest Young Master Wu could not help but frown when he saw how guarded these villagers were.

These people were really too foolish. He couldn't be bothered to be as calculative as them.

He looked at Shi Qingluo and said arrogantly, "Shi Qingluo, this is the advisor sent by the magistrate. Shouldn't you come over faster and pay your respect?"

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. "May I ask, what rank is this advisor holding? Who set the rules that commoners need to pay their respects to advisors?"

Offending the Wu family was equivalent to offending the magistrate behind them, so she don't need to be so polite.

Besides, he was just an advisor. Demanding others to pay their respects to him was a joke.
