Chapter 457: Brothers Compete for Favor
As soon as these people left, the guards reported to Sang Ye and his group.
"I didn't expect them to slip away together." Sang Ye opened his folding fan and fanned it gently. "Let's just wander around here and then settle down in Quanzhou."
"Regardless of whether this was done by the county magistrate and others in Quanzhou, after we settle down in Quanzhou, someone will definitely come to inquire about our affairs."
Hua Yun said with a smile, "Maybe it's not about prying, but currying favor."
"Why don't you call it an assassination?" Shangguan Quan rolled his eyes at him. "Some people are very courageous. There have been cases of imperial envoys being assassinated."
"Imperial envoy? What's that?" Mu Baobao asked, confused. "He's a relative, a demolisher, and an imperial minister. Is there such a person?"
What a strange person.
Shangguan Quan took the little apprentice sister from Mu Pingping's arms and explained to her with a smile, "The imperial envoy is appointed by the emperor and can exercise certain powers on his behalf."
"To put it simply, the imperial envoy is an official."
Mu Baobao said with an "oh" in understanding, "So he's an official. I thought he was some kind of mysterious person."
"Third Brother, will we be in danger?"
Shangguan Quan took the water bag from a guard and held it to her mouth. "Not likely."
"Prince Zheng's status and position are so high, and the Emperor favors him. Even someone with a mental disorder would not dare to attack us."
Unless he is a fool like Fei Xiaoyao King, who has no brains at all.
Mubaobao drank the water obediently and smacked his lips a few times, "Is that so?"
"There's so much water there!" She pointed to the river ahead.
Shangguan Quan handed the water bag to the guard, then took the fan from the guard and fanned his junior sister.
He looked in the direction his junior sister pointed, and saw a river with abundant water source blocked by a mud wall.
A group of people walked over.
Sang Ye tapped his chin with his folding fan. "Judging from the appearance of the mud wall, it has been there for some time."
"Perhaps, after the water supply in Quanzhou became insufficient, someone blocked the waterfall here and then did something evil."
Mu Pingping stepped forward to examine the mud wall and guessed, "At least more than a month."
"The surface is soil, and the inside is treated with other materials, otherwise it wouldn't look like this."
In the village, some villagers use mud to make reservoirs, but other materials are used inside.
Sang Ye said, "No wonder there's no problem with this mud wall even with so much water washing it."
"Now, we just need to wander around here and then go to Quanzhou and wait."
Shangguan Quan was already squatting by the river, holding the wooden baby and playing with the water.
"Hehe, Third Brother, this water is cool." Baby Mu scooped up some water with his little paws and dropped it from a high place.
“The water in that stream used to be warm.”
Shangguan Quan touched the water in the river and said, "It is indeed cool."
"Maybe it's because we're in the mountains and there are so many trees here that the water is cool."
Mu Baobao still didn't understand, "Will the water in the mountains be cooler?"
Shangguan Quan didn't understand this either, so he turned to look at Hua Yun and said, "Second brother, you've been out a lot, come and explain this to the baby."
Hua Yun walked over and kicked him, quite disgusted, "Look at how useless you are. You can't even explain such a small thing."
He squatted on the other side of the wooden baby and explained to her softly, "Look, baby, won't it be much cooler if you stay in the shade of the tree?"
Mu Baobao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it will be cooler in the shade of the tree."
Hua Yun asked, "Similarly, isn't the water in the shade of a tree cooler than the water in the sun?"
Mu Baobao understood and gave a thumbs up, "So that's how it is. Second Brother is amazing. He even knows something like this."
Hua Yun glanced at Shangguan Quan proudly and pinched her junior sister's cheek. "We're in the mountains now, let's see if there are any herbs."
"If Junior Sister finds three herbs, then this one will be yours."
He took out a five-liang silver ingot from his sleeve and shook it in front of Mu Baobao.
Mu Baobao suddenly became energetic, and his short legs took off. "I will definitely find it. Later, Second Brother's silver will be mine!"
There were guards following her, and Hua Yun was also following, so the others were not worried.
Shangguan Quan snorted in dissatisfaction, "Old Second, that bastard, thinks he's rich and thinks he's amazing. He even uses money to make Junior Sister happy."
"Next time, I will definitely win back the game."
Sang Ye found it very funny, but also a little envious. His relationship with his brothers and sisters was not very good, and there were many calculations between them.
Unlike Hua Yun and Shangguan Quan, they are brothers in the same school but have a very good relationship.
……
Quanzhou, the backyard of the county government.
The county magistrate was painting, and his attendants stood by to serve him, praising him from time to time.
"Master's painting skills are getting better and better. To me, they look as if they were real."
The county magistrate laughed heartily, feeling quite pleased. "I also feel that my painting skills have improved a lot."
"Sir, something bad has happened!" The lawyer ran in in a panic.
He bowed and spoke quickly, "Prince Zheng is here! He's also learned about our water diversion!"
"Clap!"
The brush in the county magistrate's hand fell onto the painting, creating a large blob of black ink.
"what happened?"
He was very calm, his face darkening. "That place is in the mountains. Why would Prince Zheng go to a place like that?"
He had already received news that Prince Zheng and his entourage were out for a trip and might come to Quanzhou at any time.
He had made arrangements long ago, but he never expected that Prince Zheng and his entourage would run into the mountains.
The master wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a few deep breaths. "Prince Zheng and his group are going to see the waterfall."
"Your Excellency may not know that the waterfall is gone due to the water diversion."
"That might be the case. It aroused the suspicion of Prince Zheng and his group, so they went upstairs to investigate."
"Sir, what should we do now?"
That’s Prince Zheng, the emperor’s most beloved person.
The county magistrate pondered for a moment and came up with an idea. "You go and make the arrangements. This was done privately by the county magistrate and others."
"This county magistrate has been informed of this matter and is currently searching for sufficient evidence."
"I don't need to tell you how to arrange it specifically, do I?"
Blame him!
We should arrange someone to guard Prince Zheng and his entourage near Quanzhou, so that such a thing will not happen.
Master, please take the order and do it immediately.
The county magistrate was still uneasy, so he immediately wrote a letter and asked his attendants to deliver it to Rongdu as quickly as possible and hand it over to a certain person.
He has worked hard to get his current status and wealth, and he must not lose it.
Before dusk, Mu Baobao and his group arrived in Quanzhou and found an inn to stay in.
