Young Master Wu immediately walked into the hall.
He looked at Mo Qingling and bowed, "Sir, they wronged me."
Shi Qingluo sneered: "With so many of us, how could we wrongly accuse you?"
"I'm asking you, have you ever said, let's wait and see, you won't just let it go?"
"Do you have to buy our recipe?"
Young Master Wu choked, "I did say that, but that doesn't mean I have to do anything to you!"
Shi Qingluo retorted, "What I said means what I said, which means your threat to us is true."
She emphasized: "Anyway, if anything happens to me and my husband, it must be your Wu family's fault."
Young Master Wu: "..." How could this woman be so unreasonable? He came back with a lot of anger, and was thinking about kidnapping the dead girl in two days.
If they did this now, not to mention other people in the county, even Magistrate Mo would be keeping an eye on the Wu family.
It’s so frustrating.
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm just asking you in a friendly manner. You just can't sell your house. Is there any problem with that?"
Shi Qingluo said: "Are you trying to treat everyone as fools by saying this?"
She snorted coldly, "Everyone heard what you said to threaten me yesterday and today. Don't try to explain. Explanations are just to cover up."
The villagers who followed also said, "Yes, we all heard it."
"We're not lying."
"We dare to swear that Young Master Wu really said those words." They did hear it.
Young Master Wu: “…” These idiots, why do they only listen half way when told?
He then quickly realized why Shi Qingluo suddenly said those inexplicable words yesterday.
It turned out that they were trying to set a trap for him.
He explained, "I didn't even know you were going to make the recipe public for free, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to buy it."
If he had known earlier that this woman was going to give away the recipe for free, he would have had her kidnapped first.
Now I really haven't gotten any benefit at all, and I'm also getting all mad.
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "You are treating us as fools again."
"Almost everyone in the county knows about this. How could you not know?"
When the onlookers heard this, they felt that Young Master Wu was really going too far and they were not fools.
"Yes, we knew it a long time ago. How could you not know it? Stop pretending."
“Although your Wu family is a bully in Nanxi County, you should not be so arrogant in front of adults.”
"Don't quibble. Quibbling is just covering up."
There are many people here, and there is a new county magistrate, so no one is afraid of the Wu family, and everyone is talking to each other.
Young Master Wu: “…” He felt so frustrated that he wanted to go crazy.
It’s really hard to put it into words now and I can’t explain it at all.
This damn girl is simply not a human being. She actually used such shameless means.
Mo Qingling waited for everyone to finish speaking, then looked at Young Master Wu and said, "You threatened Madam Xiao Xiucai first, and it is also true that you wanted to force the purchase of the house."
"So if anything bad happened to Xiao Xiucai and the other person recently, I will only ask your Wu family."
This kind of verbal threat and so-called forced purchase of the house did not result in the purchase, and it cannot bring the Wu family to justice.
Mo Qingling's intention now is to warn the Wu family not to cause trouble.
As for cleaning up the Wu family, he would of course have to collect evidence from other sources.
Now that the Wu family's reputation has been ruined in Nanxi County, it will be more convenient for him to act in the future.
The more he looked at the couple Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, the more he liked them.
Young Master Wu is not stupid and knows that this is a warning.
The people should not fight against the officials. Although they have the prefect behind them, it is still Mo Qingling who is in charge of Nanxi County.
So I could only nod my head in frustration, "Yes."
There is nothing I can do to the dead girl in the short term, and I have to find a way to deal with the current bad situation. I feel a headache and depressed.
Next, Xiao Hanzheng continued to teach everyone how to make ice.
It was not until the afternoon that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo returned to the village together.
There were not many people on the road at this time, and Xiao Hanzheng didn't feel hot and kept holding Shi Qingluo's hand.
He said: "The Wu family's troubles have come to an end for the time being."
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, let's focus on our business from now on."
She asked, "When are you going to the county school?"
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until those workshops are built."
This way he will feel more at ease going to the county town, and his young wife won't have to go through the trouble of keeping an eye on her every day.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Alright, while you are here, let's go to the county town and invite people to rebuild the Taoist temple together."
"By the way, in a couple of days, please invite the clan leaders and village heads of several nearby villages to come and talk, and spread the news that there is a saltpeter mine near the Taoist temple."
"Then let several villages unite to mine saltpeter, and do not allow big merchants or aristocratic families to get involved."
“We can do it as long as we all work together.”
To revitalize the market, we must first improve everyone's living conditions so that people will be willing to buy things when they have money.
And by doing this, people from several villages can be united to work together.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Okay, I'll do it."
Shi Qingluo held Xiao Hanzheng's hand tightly. It was great to have a husband like this who could share everything with her.
As he walked, Shi Qingluo yawned repeatedly.
Xiao Hanzheng asked: "Are you sleepy?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "I'm a little sleepy. I didn't take a nap today."
She has developed the habit of taking a nap.
Xiao Hanzheng let go of her hand, walked in front of her and half squatted, "Come, I'll carry you home, you can sleep on my back."
Shi Qingluo was shocked. She didn't expect that her young husband would carry her back.
But she would not refuse, she tiptoed and jumped on his back, "Okay, carry me."
Xiao Hanzheng caught her and carried her on his back back to the village via another path.
He himself didn't care, but he was afraid of being seen and talked about his young wife.
Shi Qingluo guessed what he was thinking as soon as he saw him taking a detour.
She put her arms around his neck, leaned over and gave him a big kiss on the face, "Zhengzheng, why are you so nice!"
It is hard to find such a man in modern times, but she actually met one in ancient times.
"If you keep doing this, I'm going to like you more and more."
She did not deny that she was really attracted to her young husband and began to like him.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled, his lips curled up, "Then I like it!"
Shi Qingluo leaned her head on his shoulder, not feeling the heat, "Okay!"
She nuzzled him and said, "Then you have to like me more and more."
Xiao Hanzheng chuckled and said, "Okay, I like you more and more."
He was already liking his young wife more and more.
"Zhengzheng, it's great to have you." Shi Qingluo leaned on his not-so-broad shoulders, but felt very safe.
Xiao Hanzheng also said: "It's good to have you."
With my young wife around, every day of life is full of fun.
Shi Qingluo smiled proudly and said, "That's right. You have found a good wife like me that is hard to come by in a thousand years. You should be happy."
I have come across thousands of years to be your wife.
Xiao Hanzheng said with helplessness and doting, "Yes, I am secretly happy every day."
The young wife never speaks shyly, but he likes it.
As the two were talking, Shi Qingluo fell asleep leaning on Xiao Hanzheng's back.
