After hearing this, Sang Ye understood a little better. "They've been selling water for a while now, and they don't sell it in town. They only sell it in markets like this or in villages."

"It's been hot for so long, some places are bound to have water shortages. And since water is so important, there will definitely be some people willing to buy it.

"But who is secretly manipulating the water sales?"

Mu Pingping suddenly asked, "Could it be related to the county magistrate?"

"Such a big thing happened, the county magistrate can't be unaware of it, right?"

"Besides, these water sellers don't dare to sell water so openly without sufficient backing."

Sang Ye frowned slightly, "Judging from the current situation, the county magistrate is indeed questionable."

"But we don't have any more clues, so it's hard to say whether it was the county magistrate who did it."

Mu Pingping asked, "Should we arrest a water seller and interrogate him?"

Sang Ye thought about it and said, "It's easy to alert the enemy."

"Let's not talk about these water sellers for now. Do they know who's backing them? If we alert the enemy, it won't be easy for us to investigate."

"Mr. Sang, you don't have to think so much." Zheng Xingguang pointed at himself with his backhand. "I, the little devil, am here."

Hearing him say this, Sang Ye was stunned at first, then laughed out loud, "If Prince Zheng hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten that you are such a troublemaker."

"I've heard about it too." Mu Pingping's eyes flashed with curiosity. "I've heard from many people in the Imperial College that Prince Zheng did a lot of bad things in the past."

"Prince Zheng, were you really like this back then?"

Zheng Xingguang first looked around to make sure Mu Baobao wasn't there before saying, "At that time, my relationship with my parents was not good, and the people who approached me had bad intentions, so it turned out like that."

The only reason he didn't grow up astray was because his uncle the emperor arranged for someone to teach him.

Mu Pingping sighed, "If I hadn't heard about it, I really would have found it hard to imagine that you and that troublemaker Prince Zheng were the same person."

"When you were in our village, you were very sensible, especially in front of the baby."

Sang Ye couldn't help laughing, "As the saying goes, there is always something to conquer."

"Baby can conquer Prince Zheng."

Zheng Xingguang snorted softly, "Baby is my savior, she taught me so many things, and she even plays with me. I must listen to her."

In the Mu family, he felt warmth and family love.

The people in the Mu family not only treat him differently because of his status, but also care about him and even take him out to play.

Sang Ye probably understood his feelings, "Okay, since Prince Zheng said so, then arrest all the people selling water."

"Just say that it's because Prince Zheng can't stand these people openly selling water and cheating people. As a member of the royal family, he wants to punish them severely."

The guard took the order and went to do the job.

"There are probably more than just these few people selling water. There are many other places selling water." Sang Ye said in a deep voice.

Zheng Xingguang asked, "Didn't someone store water before?"

"The Emperor is investigating this matter. He hasn't found out who did it yet, but he has a clue."

"Perhaps it has something to do with this matter?"

Sang Ye pondered for a while and said, "I always feel that it's not that simple."

Zheng Xingguang and Mu Pingping looked at him.

Sang Ye expressed his thoughts, "Look, the water-selling incident has been going on for quite some time. Why hasn't anyone reported it to the higher-ups? The emperor is completely unaware of it."

"What a coincidence! We just found out about this when we got here."

"It's such a coincidence."

Zheng Xingguang, "...Mr. Sang, are you thinking too much?"

Sang Ye smiled and said, "When I'm away from home, I'd rather think more."

"Let's investigate this matter first, and then see who will make a move."

Hopefully it's not a bad thing.

In the evening, in the wing room.

The three Mu Baobaos sat together and enjoyed vegetarian food.

The vegetarian dishes were both beautiful and delicious, making Mu Baobao very happy to eat: "Brother, this vegetarian chicken is so delicious."

"I can taste chicken in this. Is this really not made from chicken?"

Mu Pingping was also surprised. "This is my first time eating vegetarian chicken too. I'm not sure if it's made from real chicken."

"No," Sang Ye explained with a smile, "Vegetarian chicken is a famous vegetarian dish. It must taste like chicken to be truly successful."

Mu Baobao exclaimed with sparkling eyes, "The uncles here are really amazing. They can make vegetarian chicken that tastes like chicken."

"My grandma is right. Every craftsman is amazing."

Sang Ye and Zheng Xingguang were slightly stunned when they heard such words for the first time.

Mu Pingping touched his sister's head and picked up some dishes for her. "You can only eat these, otherwise you will have indigestion again."

"After dinner, I'll take you for a walk around to help you digest the food."

Mu Baobao agreed obediently, "Brother, besides studying, do you want to learn something else?"

"Third brother is going to learn how to do business. He has a lot to learn."

Mu Pingping had considered this, "But, my knowledge is not up to par with my classmates. If I learn now, I'm afraid it will delay my studies."

Mu Baobao thought for a moment and said, "Then Big Brother should learn martial arts well."

"Like grandma said, be a person who is good at both civil and military affairs. That would be very powerful."

Mu Pingping thought this was a good idea, "Okay then, big brother, just study hard in martial arts and study."

There are teachers in the Imperial College who specialize in teaching martial arts, but not many children learn it, and most of the children focus on studying.

These brothers were introduced by Mr. Cheng, who usually pays more attention to them.

"Baby," Sang Ye looked at Mu Baobao and asked, "Are all craftsmen good?"

Mu Baobao nodded his little head heavily and pointed at the remaining vegetarian chicken with his meaty paws.

"Big brother, can you make vegetarian chicken?"

Sang Ye shook his head to indicate no.

Mu Baobao added, "My grandma said that every craftsman has his or her own skills, and they are all very powerful."

"I can't just use Tete, who has the same craftsmanship as me..."

"Baby, it's special." Mu Pingping corrected.

Mu Baobao said, "Tete just looks down on others."

"It's like weaving bamboo baskets. We can't do it, but they can, and they can even make money. How amazing!"

Mu Pingping, "..."

It cannot be corrected.

Sang Ye suddenly exhaled a breath of foul air, a bright smile on her face, "Baby may be small, but he knows a lot, and sees things more clearly than the rest of us."

Yes, no matter what skill you have, as long as you make money with your own hands, it is very impressive.

Baby Mu was praised, shaking his head and laughing, "Of course, I was taught by grandma, so I'm really good."

Mu Pingping and the other two all laughed.

"Young Master." An attendant walked in and saluted. "The county magistrate has sent someone with a gift. He says it's for Prince Zheng."

Zheng Xingguang rolled his eyes.
