After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

When Mu Baobao and his group were staying as guests in Quanzhou, someone reported the matter to the county magistrate.

Mu Baobao and his group didn’t know about this for the time being. Those who needed to wash up washed up and those who needed to eat ate.

With the help of the maid, Mu Baobao took a comfortable bath and changed into a light green thin clothes.

She jumped up and down a few times while standing there, and even turned around to show the maid her new clothes: "Sister, sister, do you think my new clothes look good?"

The maidservant praised her flatteringly, "Miss Mu, this dress is very beautiful. It looks very cute on you."

Mu Baobao covered her mouth with her hands and smiled. She also thought she looked cute in this outfit.

"Sister, let's go find my brother and the others."

She took the hand of the maid and walked out of the room of the inn happily.

As soon as she walked out, she met Zheng Xingguang who had also washed up.

"Little brother, look at my new clothes, do they look good on me?"

She ran to Zheng Xingguang and turned around a few times.

Zheng Xingguang nodded heavily, "It looks good. The baby is so cute in this dress."

Baby Mu smiled happily, "This is the new dress my grandma made for me. I love it."

"Little brother, when we get back, I'll ask grandma to make new clothes for you, okay?"

Zheng Xingguang took her hand and went downstairs, came to the lobby, and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Okay."

The guards brought the food.

It consists of one meat dish, two vegetable dishes and a soup.

Neither Mu Baobao nor Zheng Xingguang used it first.

Mubaobao looked around but didn't see anyone else: "Hey, where are my big brother and the others?"

The guard said, "To answer Miss Mu, Master Mu and the others are still washing up, and they will probably be coming down soon."

Mubaobao thanked him and sat there swinging his short legs. "My big brother and the others are so slow."

Zheng Xingguang agreed, "Maybe everyone will be this slow when they grow up."

Mu Baobao clapped his hands lightly, "Is it because I've grown up that I have more flesh?"

"When the pigs grow up, they will have more meat, and they can be sold for a lot of money."

“When you kill the New Year pig, you have to wash it for a long time.”

Zheng Xingguang, “…”

He wanted to know how the baby came up with this idea.

"You're naughty." Shangguan Quan, who had just arrived, pinched the little apprentice sister's cheek. "You can't say such things to others. It will make others angry, understand?"

Mu Baobao obediently agreed, "Third Brother, you are faster than my eldest brother and the others."

Shangguan Quan sat on the bench and looked at her sideways, "You are a little girl, it's not right to wash so quickly."

"Girls should wash themselves slowly."

Baby Mu tilted his head in confusion. "Why? Wouldn't it be fine if you just washed it?"

Zheng Xingguang said with a smile, "Master Shangguan, if you tell your baby about this, she won't understand."

Shangguan Quan shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Let's eat first and don't wait for those people. We don't know when they will come down."

"Third brother, you're going too far." Hua Yun and the other two came down.

Hua Yun sat next to Shangguan Quan, snatched the chopsticks from his hand, and snorted.

"I've been so good to you, and this is how you treat me?"

Sang Ye and Mu Pingping found a seat and sat down respectively.

Several people started to eat.

Mu Baobao scooped a piece of braised pork with a spoon and ate it, but he frowned. It didn't taste very good.

It's so strange that she thinks meat doesn't taste good.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Mu Pingping noticed his sister's abnormality and asked with concern.

Mu Baobao swallowed the meat in his mouth and said, "Brother, this meat is not very delicious. Why?"

Mu Pingping also felt the same way, but didn't say it. "Maybe my cooking skills are not good."

"The chef's cooking skills at the inn are just so-so." Sang Ye said, "Let our people cook tomorrow. That way, the taste and safety can be guaranteed."

"Baby, you just have to make do with it tonight, okay?"

Baby Mu said "OK" and continued eating obediently.

After dinner, the guards cleared the table and then went to eat at the empty table next to them.

There were very few guests in this inn. Apart from Mu Baobao and his group, there were only a few scattered guests. They all stayed in their rooms, even when eating.

After Mu Baobao and his group finished their meal, they returned to Zheng Xingguang's room to discuss things.

Mubaobao was just playing on the side, and she could have a lot of fun on her own.

Mu Pingping is mainly responsible for listening.

A guard stood in front of Sang Ye and the others and reported in a low voice, "From the information I and others just found out, it is known that the person in charge in Quanzhou is the county magistrate."

"This county magistrate has an excellent reputation. As soon as he took office, he dealt with several local merchants who were rich and unkind."

"Later, a number of policies that benefited the people were introduced one after another."

"However, the people dislike the county magistrate very much. They say that the county magistrate is deliberately working against the county magistrate and has even joined forces with some local wealthy businessmen to force the county magistrate to step down."

Sang Ye raised his hand to signal the guards to pause. He looked at Mu Pingping and Zheng Xingguang, "Do you have any opinions?"

Mu Pingping frowned, "Something doesn't seem right."

"Can a county magistrate solve the problem of a local wealthy businessman with just one visit? Is it really possible that it would be so smooth?"

"Also, the county magistrate here has already dealt with several wealthy businessmen, which shows that he is quite capable. Then why does the county magistrate dare to unite with some wealthy businessmen to oppose the county magistrate?"

Zheng Xingguang hummed in agreement, "Either it was intentional, or the county magistrate has someone powerful behind him."

"No matter which one it is, it shows that this county magistrate is not simple."

"For a county magistrate to accomplish so many things and still have such a good reputation after only six months in office shows that he is no ordinary person."

A smile appeared on Sang Ye's face. "It's great that you can see these clearly."

"The fact that the Quanzhou County Magistrate was able to accomplish so much in such a short period of time is enough to prove that he has a backer, and a powerful one at that."

"Generally speaking, a newly appointed county magistrate will not act rashly before he has a clear understanding of the local situation, as this could easily harm the interests of all parties involved."

Mu Pingping raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Sang, I don't quite understand this. Why would it harm the interests of all parties?"

Sang Ye explained, "Rich businessmen and county magistrates in a place will not only seek the protection of the county magistrate, but will also seek the protection of people with higher positions."

"For example, people like Tongzhi and Zhifu."

"The most common method is to give all kinds of goodies and send your daughter to the other party as a concubine."

"These people are connected to the Tongzhi and others. Under such circumstances, the newly appointed county magistrate would not do such a stupid thing."

"Unless his backers are powerful enough, or these people become sacrificial pawns."

Mu Pingping asked, "A sacrificial chess piece?"

Sang Ye said, "For those in higher positions, they will deal with certain people after they have used them to prevent any problems."

"This kind of person is a sacrificial pawn."
