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

Chapter 182: He Was Too Difficult To Handle

However, since he had already reminded them, it meant that he was treating them as his friends.

He smiled and said, "Okay!"

Therefore, the next day, Liang Youxiao and the others followed Mo Qingling to the capital in a hurry.

Not only did they bring the dried corn cobs, but also the face masks and the chilies seeds they got from Shi Qingluo.

Although Fei Congjun's health had improved a lot, he could not travel too fast, so he went with Xiao Hanzheng's group.

Xiao Hanzheng and the others did not delay their journey and set off in a carriage that very same day.

Xiao Hanzheng deliberately let people spread the news that they would not travel via the sea and would take the carriage alone.

Mr Hou also wanted to enter the capital quietly, so he did not tell anyone.

Xiao Yuanshi's men had bribed the assassins.

They had received an order that they could take action as long as Xi Rong left.

It just so happened that they heard that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife would be going to the capital in a horse carriage.

It was an opportunity for them to take action immediately.

This was also because Xiao Yuanshi had not received the news of these heaven-gifted seeds. Otherwise, he would have immediately asked his people to cancel the plan to assassinate.

As a result, Xiao Hanzheng and the others encountered eight assassins during their journey.

They attacked without any restraint, mainly because they looked down on Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo's identity.

They thought that it would be extremely easy to complete this task.

However, they did not expect that they would be destroyed the moment they appeared.

That's right, before Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo made a move, the eight assassins were subdued by the combined forces of the three parties.

Some were guards sent by Mo Qingling to protect Xiao Hanzheng and the others secretly, some were sent to protect Mr Hou, and the rest were sent by the Fei family to protect Fei Congjun.

These assassins were all dumbfounded when they were captured.

Xiao Hanzheng was supposed to be a village-born scholar, so why did so many big shots suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Among them were the person who hired the assassins and the assassins' leader.

According to their organization's rule, they were supposed to break the poison seal hidden in between their teeth.

Once they failed the mission, they had to commit suicide so as to not expose the person who hired them.

However, Xiao Hanzheng knew their rules very well.

When the eight of them appeared, he had observed them and found out their leader immediately.

Therefore, he stopped him before he took the poison.

He even got Mo Qingling's people to search for the poison.

After that, he said to Mo Qingling's chief guard, "I suspect that they are deliberately sabotaging our intention to offer the seeds. Perhaps they are spies from another country that we are not on good terms with.

"I suggest that we bring them to the capital and interrogate them thoroughly.

If that scumbag father harmed them, they would return him a favor.
