Young Master Wu and the Private Adviser both know the background of County Magistrate Mo.

Therefore, they can be sure that as long as Mo Qingling gets the ice-making recipe, he will take the initiative to send it to the capital to dedicate it to the Emperor.

Such a thing will work better than them.

However, they have worked so hard for a long time, and even excitedly thinking about making meritorious deeds and getting benefits, but all of it was in vain.

If Shi Qingluo knew what they were thinking, she would tell them: Don’t worry, you didn’t work in vain.

You guys will be very famous!

Young Master Wu and the Private Adviser didn’t argue with Shi Qingluo anymore, but quickly turned around and left.

They want to go back to the county town to see what was going on.

When Shi Qingluo saw the people leaving, she said to the villagers with a bit of worry: “I don’t know if they will be unfavorable to my husband. I want to go to the county town to see.”

“If they are unfavorable to my husband, I will ask the county magistrate to make the decision.”

The villagers also have the same worry.

If everyone went there together, there was no need to be afraid of the Wu family, besides, the County Magistrate can make the decision.

“Let’s go, we’ll go with you.” They were also worried about Dalang’s wife going by herself.

Shi Qingluo expressed gratitude: “Then I would like to trouble everyone to accompany me for a trip, thank you!”

“What thank you, we are from the same village, so we should help each other, and it is for everyone’s benefit that you were threatened and bullied by the Wu family.”

“Yes, let’s go together.”

Then a group of people walked towards the county town in a mighty manner.

They met other people in the village, and after hearing about this incident, they also went to the county town together with righteous indignation.

At this time, rumors have spread in the county that the Wu family wants to occupy the ice-making recipe, and they don’t want everyone to learn it, and they threaten Xiao Xiucai and his wife.

There was even a storyteller who compiled it into a story and talked about it vividly in the Tea House of the Bai family.

Also, because of storytelling making up stories, the image of the Wu family’s selfish bully was instantly established.

Shi Qingluo and his wife also gained an image of defying power, having a backbone, and being generous.

This was the gift that Xiao Hanzheng prepared for the Wu family together when he went to the Bai family to find Bai Xu before going to the county government office.

What they needed was such rapid efficiency. Before the Wu family can react, their reputation must become stinky.

But this was Shi Qinglou’s idea.

She knows how to spread the word as fast as possible.

Writing stories and letting everyone gossip was the best means of publicity.

After all, there are no entertainment projects in this era. This small real-life story can make the county town lively for a while.

Sure enough, after everyone heard this, many people couldn’t help scolding the Wu Family and Young Master Wu.

This Wu family was so vile and smoky. For the sake of self-interest, they threatened the selfless Xiao Xiucai and his wife who took out ice-making recipes to teach everyone openly.

This was not only getting in the way of Xiao Xiucai and his wife, okay? This was also getting in everyone’s way of learning the method of ice-making!

When it involves everyone’s common interests, it can unanimously conclude. It was very rare for people in the county to scold together so unitedly.

Moreover, the Wu family has been the king and evil in the county for many years, and they have done many vicious and bad things.

In the past, the Wu family and the previous magistrate hooked up together, so no one dared to say anything.

Now that the county magistrate has changed, this kind of thing happened, and Xiao Hanzheng was deliberately guided by others, the matter broke out all at once.

Some people revealed many immoral things done by the Wu family and spread them in the county.

The Wu family soon became the representative of the evil forces in Nanxi County, the existence of rats crossing the street and everyone shouting to beat them.

At the place where everyone can learn how to make ice, people were clamoring for the magistrate to punish such wicked people severely.

Xiao Hanzheng’s lips couldn’t help but curl when he saw that everyone was filled with righteous indignation and asked Mo Qingling to punish the Wu family.

He and his little wife have deep merits and fame.

He doesn’t know if Young Master Wu and the magistrate’s people will be ‘surprised’ when they come back to the county town.

And this can also be regarded as a gift from them to Mo Qingling, the county magistrate.

Mo Qingling wanted to thoroughly grasp Nanxi County, of course, he must pull out the problems left by the previous magistrate.

The Wu family has done a lot of bad things, and it was imperative to take the Wu family into action.

This matter caused public outrage, Mo Qingling will seize the opportunity to clean up the Wu family.

Sure enough, hearing everyone’s excitement about asking him to punish the Wu family, Mo Qingling took the case into his hands.

He has been looking for something to go against the Wu family recently, and now that the other party has come to his door, he would naturally not be polite.

As for the magistrate behind the Wu family, he was not afraid.

He nodded and said to everyone: “I will thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Wu family and give you an explanation. Please rest assured!”

The Patriarch of the Wu family, who just arrived, was in a bad mood after hearing this.

The Patriarch of the Wu family has now realized that their Wu family has been tricked by Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.

Not only solved the problem of not having to hand over the prescription to them but also gave them a hard time.

He hurriedly brought the Wu family members in and said: “It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!”

Mo Qingling looked at him coldly, “What’s the misunderstanding? I misunderstood that you want to seize by force the ice-making recipe left by Madam Xiao Xiucai’s master?”

Patriarch Wu choked, and immediately denied: “No, we didn’t take the prescription by force.”

“It was just a discussion with Xiao Xiucai and his wife before. They didn’t agree to sell, so we gave up.”

Xiao Hanzheng said sharply: “But Young Master Wu told us to wait and see, saying that we would not let our husband and wife go.”

“And he threatened my wife yesterday, many villagers have seen it, and they can testify.”

At this moment, there were several roars from the door: “Yes, we can testify.”

Xiao Hanzheng looked over and saw the villagers walking in with his little wife.

Shi Qinglou first saluted the county magistrate Mo Qingling.

Then her eye circles were red, and she looked extremely wronged.

She complained to Xiao Hanzheng: “Master, this afternoon, Young Master Wu brought the magistrate’s Private Advisor to the village, insisting that I should give them the prescription.”

“I told them that you have brought the prescription to the county town to hand over to the county magistrate, and openly taught everyone how to make ice.”

“Young Master Wu said, let us wait, he will not forget about it.”

She said again with tears in her eyes: “I was worried that you would be retaliated by them, so I came here.”

“Master, are you okay?” She asked worriedly.

Although Xiao Hanzheng knew that his little wife was just acting, seeing her red eye circles, he couldn’t help feeling distressed.

He replied: “The magistrate and everyone is here, I’m fine.”

Shi Qingluo seemed to be relieved and then looked at Mo Qingling: “My lord, my husband and I will be fine, right?”

What she wanted to play was public opinion, and completely push the Wu family to the forefront.

Even if the Wu family wanted to kill them immediately, they can’t do anything in the meantime.

Mo Qingling found that Xiao Hanzheng’s little wife was not simple.

By doing this, not only did the Wu family lose the initiative to attack, but it also made the Wu family dare not do any more actions for a short time.

Otherwise, if something happens to their husband and wife, it will be branded as the Wu family’s revenge.

He nodded and said: “Of course, I won’t let you have trouble.”

Shi Qingluo smiled slightly, showing a very reassuring look: “I trust the magistrate.”

Mo Qingling wanted to rub his forehead, this woman like to pretend.

Then the villagers who followed also agreed with Shi Qingluo’s words.

They also recounted the matter that Young Master Wu came to threaten Shi Qingluo yesterday.

And Young Master Wu, who had just arrived, was completely stunned when he heard what these people said.

What the hell, when did he say those things?

He didn’t know yesterday that this woman wanted to make ice recipes public for free!

Otherwise, why would he bother?

On the way back just now, the carriage broke down suddenly, and he was delayed for a long time.

He didn’t expect that because of such a delay, the wind direction of the entire county town would change.

This woman poured dirty water on him, but so many people simply believed her.

He was wronged!
