After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door
Chapter 456: Said this on purpose
Mu Pingping learned a lot again.
He had a doubt and asked, "The county magistrate is appointed by the imperial court. Can he be overthrown by local people?"
Sang Ye understood his thoughts and said, "Yes."
"As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake."
"Positions like the county magistrate rarely change. They've been in the local area for many years and have extensive connections, sometimes even marrying into wealthy businessmen."
"A county magistrate alone, even if he is appointed by the emperor, cannot deal with the local tyrants."
Mu Pingping understood, "I see."
There are so many twists and turns in being an official.
"Brother, are you guys done chatting?" Mu Baobao was very bored. "There's nothing good to see or eat here. Let's go somewhere else."
Sang Ye whispered softly, "Baby, we haven't investigated it yet, so we have to stay here for a while. Can you play around here for a while?"
Baby Mu said "oh" obediently, and then, accompanied by his guards, he picked up stones to play with nearby.
Her elder brothers were busy, so she couldn't disturb them. She had to behave herself.
While she was playing, a little squirrel jumped into her arms and squeaked at her.
Mu Baobao first glanced at the guard, and when she saw that the guard had no doubts, she whispered to the squirrel.
"I know. I will tell my eldest brother secretly."
It turned out that some bad people blocked the water upstream, so there was no water here.
Those people are so bad.
The little squirrel squeaked for a while before leaving.
Mu Baobao's eyes rolled around and he had an idea.
She picked up a few small stones, ran to Mu Pingping, and handed them to him as if they were treasures.
"Look, big brother, these are the small stones I picked up. They are really beautiful."
Mu Pingping said lovingly, "It is very beautiful."
Mu Baobao said in a very low voice, like a thief, "Brother, a little squirrel just came to me and told me why there is no water here."
When Mu Pingping heard this, he looked around in fear.
He saw that Sang Ye and the others were busy with their own things, and felt a little relieved.
He pulled Mu Baobao to the side and whispered, "Baby, be careful when you go out. Don't let anyone find out your secret, okay?"
Mu Baobao agreed obediently, "Don't worry, big brother. I'll remember what grandma said."
Mu Pingping couldn't feel at ease because the animals didn't know this and would come to find the baby on their own initiative.
It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too many times, it will arouse other people's suspicion.
"Baby, can you let those animals come to you quietly?"
Mu Baobao scratched his face and said, "Brother, maybe not."
"So many places."
Mu Pingping was in a lot of trouble and was even more worried. "Then be careful, baby, and try not to let the animals come to you."
"If the animals want to come to you, they will come to you quietly."
Baby Mu nodded his little head heavily, "Okay, okay."
Mu Pingping also understood that this kind of thing would not be effective just because his sister said it, so he had to be more careful next time.
After a while, the guard in charge of the investigation came back.
"Master, someone built a mud dam upstream, blocking the water, which is why there is no water here."
He elaborated, "My subordinates also discovered that there were five or six people around the blocked water source. They seemed to be responsible for preventing people from drawing water."
Sang Ye and his companions already understood that someone had deliberately blocked the water upstream in order to do some illegal activities.
"Have you found anything else?" Sang Ye asked.
The guard shook his head. "The time was too short. I didn't find anything else."
Sang Ye waved him off and turned to ask Zheng Xingguang, "Prince Zheng, what are you going to do about this?"
Zheng Xingguang rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Sang, I'm still a child. Isn't it too much for you to ask me these questions?"
Sang Ye smiled slightly, "After all, Prince Zheng is the one with the highest status among us."
"When encountering something like this, I naturally have to ask you first."
Zheng Xingguang just wanted to chuckle twice, "Mr. Sang, just take care of this matter. I will find a way to deal with the rest."
With his words, Sang Ye felt relieved, "Since we are here to have fun, let's have fun here."
"Let's go up there, maybe we'll come across something interesting."
Except for Mu Baobaowai, everyone else understood what he meant.
"Let's go, let's go up along the road next to it."
"I think the view here is nice. Maybe the view up there is even better."
Mu Pingping held Mu Baobao in his arms and followed the main group upstream.
Mu Pingping was a little nervous and uneasy. They didn't know if they would encounter any trouble or danger if they went there directly with just a few people.
Sang Ye saw what he was thinking and said softly, "Don't worry."
"No matter how courageous those people are, they dare not do anything in the face of absolute power."
"Besides, we can control those people."
Mu Pingping felt relieved after hearing this. "Mr. Sang, I don't quite understand why we have to go there now?"
"Wouldn't it be better to go there when we're ready?"
Sang Ye smiled and said, "We are ready, but those people are not ready?"
"We came here with such fanfare today. Someone must have informed their master."
"If we come back another day, we won't find anything."
Mu Pingping understood, "Just because we didn't see anyone doesn't mean there's no one in the dark, right?"
Sang Ye said, "That's the truth."
"The water has been blocked here. There must be someone secretly watching those who come here."
Mu Pingping had a new feeling. If his sister hadn't asked him to come out with her, he wouldn't have learned so much.
It really proves the saying that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.
"The scenery here is nice." Hua Yun suddenly raised her voice and said with a smile.
"But why is the waterfall gone? There was a waterfall here the last time I came here."
Seeing Mu Pingping's confusion, Sang Ye explained in a low voice, "Second Young Master Hua said this on purpose to alarm the upper class and make them go back and report."
"In this way, we can follow the clues and find out who is behind this."
Mu Pingping suddenly understood.
When the upper class people heard this, they looked at each other and spoke in low voices.
"It sounds like a stranger. Should we stop him?"
"It's hard to stop them if we're not sure of their identity. Let's hide in the dark and see who they are, and then see if we should do anything."
Several people immediately hid in the bushes and observed who was coming up.
Just then, a voice was heard.
"Prince Zheng, I was thinking of asking you to look at the waterfall here, but it's gone."
When they heard the title of Prince Zheng, they were so scared that they ran away. The person who came was a member of the royal family, so they had to report to the steward immediately!
