Chapter 85: This move is too cruel.

Xiao Hanzheng knew that Mo Qingling was not the kind of person who would take credit for others.

He didn't pretend to shirk, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

If it were the prefect who had received the prescription, he would have written it in his own hand and presented it to him saying that he had discovered it by accident.

Definitely deliberately ignore and erase the credit of their husband and wife, and then wait for the opportunity to erase them both by the way, without leaving any future troubles.

Therefore, it is best for the upright Mo Qingling to do this.

Xiao Hanzheng wrote down the recipe and source clearly on the spot and handed it to Mo Qingling.

"Sir, I have nothing to do right now, how about I start teaching people how to make ice from today?"

The prefect and Young Master Wu should be on their way to the village by now.

Mo Qingling is also a very efficient person, "Yes!"

He then personally wrote a secret memorial, sandwiched the recipe written by Xiao Hanzheng, attached a few pieces of saltpeter brought by the other party, and sent people to rush to the capital immediately.

After that, I immediately asked the county government officials to write an announcement and send it out.

He said that Xiao Xiucai would teach people how to make ice at the county government for free, and anyone who wanted to learn could come.

When Xiao Hanzheng came to the county town in the morning, he gave several beggars a few coins each and asked them to keep an eye on the county government.

As long as a notice is posted, let them immediately publicize the matter in the county town.

Soon, word spread, and many people in the county knew that they could learn to make ice for free.

Out of curiosity, many people rushed to the county government office to have a look.

When they saw that Xia Tian could actually make ice, many people exclaimed that it was magical and began to follow Xiao Hanzheng's example.

Some people are just joining in the fun, while others have the intention of making money.

On the other side, in the village.

Shi Qingluozheng cooked ice-cold mung bean soup for the villagers who were repairing the workshop.

As soon as I poured it for everyone to drink, I saw Mr. Wu walking in with a middle-aged man.

When the villagers present saw Mr. Wu coming again, they all stood up with bowls in their hands and stared at him defensively.

Dalang went to the county town today, and they couldn't let his wife be bullied.

Young Master Wu couldn't help but frowned when he saw the defensive look of these villagers.

These people were so stupid that he didn't bother to care.

He looked at Shi Qingluo and said arrogantly: "Shi Qingluo, this is the master sent by the magistrate. Why don't you come over and pay your respects?"

Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "I would like to ask, what grade of official is Master? Who made it stipulated that people should pay homage when they see you?"

Offending the Wu family also meant offending the prefect behind them, so there was no need for her to be polite.

Besides, he's just a master, and it's not a big deal to have people pay homage to him.

The master who was originally smiling suddenly froze his smile and showed displeasure in his eyes.

This village girl is really rude.

However, thinking of what he had to do today, he still held back his temper and said, "There's no need to pay my respects."

He added: "However, I have come to see you specifically today on your orders to meet you for something."

When talking to such a village woman, there is no need to beat around the bush.

Shi Qingluo pretended not to know their purpose, "What's the matter?"

Then he deliberately deepened his tone and said: "If it is to buy ice-making recipes, I have told Mr. Wu before that I will not sell them."

"Even if he moves the prefect out, I will have the same attitude."

This also caused the villagers to despise Mr. Wu.

This man was so shameless that instead of forcing him to buy a prescription, he went to find someone from the prefect.

But they were also worried. After all, it was the prefect, and if the elder man's wife didn't sell her son, they didn't know if she would be in trouble.

What Young Master Wu and Master were about to say were suddenly blocked by Shi Qingluo.

The master's face darkened slightly, this village woman was really unreasonable, she actually said these things in public.

He said: "We are not here to buy money."

Shi Qingluo immediately asked: "Then what are you here for?"

The master choked: "..." How to deal with this?

Why did this village woman answer the call so quickly?

However, he still had the courage to say: "My lord knows that you have obtained a method of making ice in summer, so I am going to offer it to the Holy One."

"Then I was sent to get the ice-making method from you."

He then deceived and threw out the bait, "When we adults present this recipe to the Holy One, your whole family will follow suit."

It looked like Shi Qingluo and the others had taken advantage of them.

Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "So this recipe was actually presented to you by your magistrate. We are not his relatives, so what's the point of following the glory?"

She said meaningfully again, "The Wu family can take advantage of the glory."

The master frowned, why is this village woman so difficult to deal with?

Courageous and sharp-tongued.

If it were another village woman who heard that the prescription was to be presented to the emperor, she would be so excited and awed that she would forget everything and quickly take out the prescription.

But this village woman is so sane and clear-headed, which is so rare.

Although the villagers are not that smart, they are not stupid either.

Once I heard what Shi Qingluo meant, I understood.

This is because the Wu family united with the prefect to take away the prescription, present it to the emperor themselves, and then grab the credit.

It's really shameless and shameless.

It also made them angry. Da Lang's wife had said before that she would teach them how to make ice.

If this is taken away by the prefect, how can they learn?

Everyone couldn't help but look at the master angrily.

The master felt the unfriendly eyes of the villagers and frowned deeper.

After all, this is not his territory, and he also wants to coax Fang Zi into his hands as soon as possible.

So he smiled and said to Shi Qingluo: "This recipe also has a share of your contribution, and your whole family will naturally be honored."

"Take out the prescription now."

Shi Qing spread his hands and said, "It's too late!"

The master was puzzled, "Why is it late?"

Shi Qingluo replied with a smile: "My husband-in-law went to the county government office early this morning with the prescription."

"Not only will the recipe be handed over to Magistrate Mo, but the method of making ice will also be made public so that anyone who wants to learn can learn it."

Master and Young Master Wu both changed their faces, "What?"

Young Master Wu asked angrily: "Are you serious?"

Shi Qingluo liked seeing their anxious expressions, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can ask other people."

The villagers also said, "Yes, Dalang went to the county government office early in the morning."

Fortunately, I went there early today, otherwise wouldn't it be possible for the Wu family and the prefect to succeed?

Young Master Wu and Master Wu's faces turned green and they were extremely angry.

Young Master Wu didn't know that they were being teased by Shi Qingluo and his wife, "Shi Qingluo, you guys are really good."

He definitely didn't believe such a coincidence happened.

As soon as they were about to ask for the prescription, the two men ran to offer the prescription and take it out to the public.

Shi Qingluo looked innocent, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"It's useless if you continue to threaten me anyway. The recipe has already been made public."

She then looked at Young Master Wu and the master with a half-smile.

"If you also want to learn how to make ice, you can still catch up by going to the county government now, not to mention spending money."

Young Master Wu and Master: "..." They want to learn nothing, what they want is a secret recipe!

Young Master Wu's face was a little distorted, "Just wait for me, I won't let it go."
