However, Mo Qingling didn't really want to be in the spotlight.
In addition to being the magistrate of Nanxi County, he is also the nephew of the Queen and the cousin of the Crown Prince.
The prince adheres to the principle of keeping a low profile. Ever since he stopped being a playboy, he has also started to keep a low profile.
Moreover, the iron ore is almost confirmed. If we send the good seeds now and report the iron ore later, it will attract too much attention from people in the court.
It's not bad to have these little dandies who like to show off standing in front.
After deep thought, he agreed with what Xiao Hanzheng and his wife did.
Donating seeds is definitely when the seeds arrive, it attracts the most attention and is the most high-profile.
But Xiao Hanzheng is just a scholar, and if he stands out too much, he will be hated.
So many young men from aristocratic families want to be in the spotlight and hope to leave a deep impression in front of the emperor. Why is it that you, a young man from a poor family, can do this?
Even if they don't suppress it openly, who knows what they will do behind the scenes.
There is also General Xiao and his wife who are eyeing them covetously.
It is not conducive to Xiao Hanzheng's future path in the imperial examination.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that it would be a good time for Xiao Hanzheng and his wife to come to the capital city after the storm had died down. He had just been thinking the wrong thing.
But in his heart, he also admired Xiao Hanzheng even more.
It is extremely rare for the other party to rationally give up such a high-profile opportunity.
Xi Rui and Xi Rong both felt a little regretful that they couldn't go to the capital with Shi Qingluo, as this would mean missing out on a lot of fun.
Liang Youxiao and Fei Yuzhe also thought of what Mo Qingling was thinking, and discovered that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were really not ordinary people.
If they couldn't resist the temptation to be in the spotlight...
Mo Qingling thought for a moment and said to Xiao Hanzheng and the others, "You should also bring the peppers grown in the Taoist temple's backyard to Beijing."
He reminded, "Although I didn't write it in the memorial, it is necessary for you to take the initiative to offer it to His Majesty for a taste."
He knew quite a bit about his uncle in the capital, and had spies all over Daliang.
Shi Qingluo has tinkered with so many things, and with the addition of an old immortal who is extremely mysterious, the emperor's spies will definitely not let him go.
Even if Mo Qingling didn't remind him, Xiao Hanzheng had actually thought of it.
Recently, his wife has dried a lot of chili peppers and is going to take them to Beijing.
However, the fact that the other party reminded them in this way also shows that they treat them as friends.
He smiled and said, "Okay!"
So the next day, Liang Youxiao and a few others set off with Mo Qingling.
Not only did they bring dried corn cobs, they also brought facial masks and the chili seeds they had asked Shi Qingluo for.
Although Fei Congjun's health had improved a lot, he couldn't travel too much, so he went with Xiao Hanzheng and the others.
Xiao Hanzheng and his companions did not delay and set off in carriage that day.
Xiao Hanzheng deliberately had someone spread the news that they would not take the water route, but would travel alone in a horse-drawn carriage.
Mr. Hou also wanted to come to Beijing in a low profile, so he didn't tell anyone.
The killers hired by Xiao Yuanshi's men had received an order before that they could take action as soon as Xi Rong left.
Just then, he heard that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife were going to the capital city by carriage, and he immediately saw the opportunity to take action.
This was also because Xiao Yuanshi had not yet received the news from Tianci Rongzhong, otherwise he would have sent someone to ask them to cancel the assassination plan as soon as possible.
As a result, Xiao Hanzheng and his companions were blocked by eight assassins halfway through their journey.
They also acted recklessly and directly, mainly because they looked down on Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo's identities.
I feel like it couldn't be easier to complete such a task.
But he never expected that he would be dealt with as soon as he tried to block the road.
Yes, before Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo could make a move, the eight killers were subdued by the three parties working together.
On one side were the guards sent by Mo Qingling to secretly protect Xiao Hanzheng and the others, on the other side were the guards to protect Old Hou, and on the other side were the Fei family's secret guards to protect Fei Congjun.
These killers were stunned when they were captured.
It was said that he was a country scholar, but how come so many masters suddenly appeared? The killer who had contacted the murderer and wanted to bite the poison hidden in his teeth according to the rules.
However, Xiao Hanzheng obviously understood their rules better.
When the eight people appeared, he observed them and found the leader immediately.
So before the other party was about to take the poison, he was stopped.
He also asked Mo Qingling's men to search for the poison and fed the man cartilage powder.
After that, he said to Mo Qingling's secret guard leader: "I suspect they want to deliberately sabotage the seed donation. Maybe they are spies sent by the enemy country."
"I suggest that they be taken to the capital and interrogated thoroughly."
If the scumbag dad does it on the first day, they will do it on the fifteenth.
First, he will be labeled as a spy who colludes with the enemy country, and then his scumbag father will have to take out the treasure map to resolve it even if he doesn't want to.
In fact, Xiao Hanzheng had always suspected that the emperor knew something about the treasure map in the hands of his scumbag father.
The emperor is also a very evil person. He has something to hold against his scumbag father, and he uses it very skillfully.
The scumbag dad just wants to vomit blood.
The leader of the secret guards was also very serious when he heard this, "Yes, we will definitely take good care of these people and escort them back to Beijing."
He followed Mo Qingling from the capital to Nanxi County, so he knew some of the twists and turns.
These people suddenly came out to assassinate him. He couldn't think of any other purpose except wanting to kill the people who offered the seeds, spread some rumors that were unfavorable to the emperor, and instigate the people of Daliang.
Any normal person would naturally not associate these killers with Xiao Yuanshi.
After all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.
On the way, Shi Qingluo added spiritual spring water to the water he drank, so although he was riding at full speed, Old Hou was in good spirits.
Mo Qingling and others arrived in the capital four days earlier.
Both the Xi and Liang families had people guarding the city gates, and the princes of the two families ordered that if the young master came back, he should be captured and brought back immediately.
It can be seen that Xi Xinheng and Liang Mingcheng were really angry this time and wanted to teach their two bastard sons a lesson for running away from home at every turn.
Especially Xi Xinheng, because his son ran away from home, he was beaten with a stick in public by his mother.
It doesn't hurt, but it's embarrassing.
So he put the blame on his bastard son.
Therefore, as soon as Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao's carriages arrived in the capital, they were surrounded by servants of the two families.
The servants of both families said in the same tone, "Master, the prince asked you to return to the capital and then go home as soon as possible."
Xi Rui glared at the servant who blocked his way and said, "I have to go to do some work. If you block my way and delay me, I will settle accounts with you later."
Servant: “…” He obviously wants to settle accounts with you.
"Master, the prince really wants you to go home quickly, so please don't embarrass us."
Xi Rui glared at the other person and said, "I am going to the palace to do something that will bring honor to my family. If you dare to stop me, you are blocking my future."
Servant: "..." Come on, it's a blessing if you don't cause trouble, and you also bring honor to the family, who would believe it if you tell them? However, they naturally didn't dare to say what they were complaining about in their hearts, and they looked bitter, "Master, if you don't go back, we can't report to the prince!"
"Go back now and tell my father that I am going to the palace to do something important."
He raised his chin and said proudly, "You guys can go back. I'll take care of anything that happens."
"Otherwise, if you ruin my great plan, I will let my grandmother deal with you."
Servant: “…” It seems that there is no way to catch the young master.
The main thing is that the young master said he wanted to enter the palace. If it was true, they didn't dare to stop him and had to report to the prince quickly.
So the servants of the Xi family withdrew.
Liang Youxiao got out of the carriage, pointed at the Xi family servants who were leaving, and said to the Liang family servants: "Did you see that? You also went to report to my father in this way."
"If you stop me from entering the palace, I will not only beat you to death, but my father will also beat you to death when he finds out what I am going to do."
Liang family servants: “…” They have it too hard.
There was no choice but to retreat and quickly report to the prince.
I had something to do in the afternoon so I didn't go to Chengshu Bar. I still have one chapter left to finish. I'll do it at 11 o'clock in the daytime~~ Mumu (End of this chapter)
