Zheng Xingguang and the others understood it. They had experienced a lot and knew the meaning as soon as they heard it.

Mu Pingping had little experience and was new to these things, so he didn't quite understand. "Mr. Sang, are you so sure?"

Mulberry Leaf's fingers tapped the table a few times, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. "Didn't the guard just say that?"

"The relationship between the county magistrate and ... others is not good, and the county magistrate seems to be unable to do anything to the county magistrate and others."

"In this way, the county magistrate and others may do things they shouldn't do behind the county magistrate's back."

"This is the perfect scapegoat."

Shangguan Quan took over the conversation and put it more simply and clearly, "It's obvious that the relationship between the county magistrate and the county magistrate and others is not good. This is a ploy."

"With this incident, even if something happened between the county magistrate and the county magistrate, or someone was dealt with, no one would be suspicious."

Mu Pingping felt a chill running up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he shivered twice from the cold.

"very scary!"

He exhaled heavily, with fear in his eyes, "A group of people can do this for profit."

Sang Ye and his companions had seen a lot and were used to it.

For a family, the family’s interests and future are the most important.

To this end, some not-so-good things may happen.

Shangguan Quan hooked his arm around Mu Pingping's shoulders and said jokingly, "When you experience more, you'll get used to it."

"For a large family, profit is the most important thing. For the sake of profit, they can do many things that are harmful to the world."

"However, most families have a bottom line and will not do anything they shouldn't do."

Mu Pingping rubbed his face and suddenly asked, "Have you ever done anything that goes against your conscience?"

Then he added, "I'm sorry, did I ask something I shouldn't have asked?"

Sang Ye and the others said they were fine.

"I did." Sang Ye's expression was calm. "Within the limits of my conscience, I did something that went against my conscience."

"As a member of the Sang family, I can't just enjoy the benefits the Sang family brings me, I also have to think about the Sang family."

Zheng Xingguang pointed at himself and said, "Rongdu always says that I'm a troublemaker, but I've also done things that go against my conscience."

Shangguan Quan said, "Mu Pingping, no matter who you are, it's impossible for you to always live in accordance with your conscience."

"As long as you don't do anything unscrupulous, there's no need to think too much."

Mu Pingping still couldn't quite accept it. He smiled bitterly and said, "This is different from what I've experienced and accepted since I was a child. I find it a bit hard to accept."

Shangguan Quan said, "It's normal."

"At first, we couldn't accept it, just like you."

"But in the end, we all compromise for our family and ourselves."

Sang Ye sighed, "We have fought against it before, and we have tried hard, but you saw the result."

Mu Pingping said, "I only now understand that even people from large families have so many things that are beyond their control."

"People from big families are more likely to be forced to do things against their will." There was a hint of difference in Hua Yun's faint tone.

"As a member of a large family, if you enjoy the various benefits brought by the large family, you must pay back to the large family."

"If you are unwilling, you will lose everything you deserve, and maybe even your life."

"Large families value reputation and rules, and will not allow their descendants to do anything they shouldn't do."

"Second brother, don't be sad." Mu Baobao patted him gently with his fleshy hands, his milky voice full of concern.

"I will accompany Second Senior Brother, give him lots of good things, and help him make money."

"Second Brother, please cheer up."

Hua Yun rubbed her cheek with hers, her eyes soft and gentle, "As long as I have my junior sister by my side, I won't be sad, I will be very happy."

Mu Baobao patted his chest and promised, "I will accompany Second Senior Brother and try my best to make him happy."

Hua Yun likes the little junior sister more and more. The best thing the master has done is to accept the little junior sister as his apprentice.

"Little Junior Sister, you promised us that you can't lie to Second Senior Brother."

Mu Baobao stretched out his right pinky finger and made a pinky promise with him, "After making a pinky promise, you can't lie to me anymore."

"I will stay by Second Brother's side."

Hua Yun rubbed her little head and said, "Okay."

He looked up at Sang Ye and the others, and suppressed his smile. "Let's wait for the county magistrate to come to us first. There's no need to worry about the rest."

This is what Sang Ye meant. They don’t know much now, so instead of taking the initiative, it’s better to wait for the county magistrate to come to them.

Besides, they were going out for fun.

"That's what happened."

He clapped his hands lightly, temporarily ending the matter. "Are you all rested? Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Baby Mu raised his little paw with great effort, his face full of excitement, "Big brother, I want to go out for a walk."

"I won some silver from my second brother, and I want to buy some things for them to take back."

So, a few people went out with their guards and strolled on the street.

Here, even on hot days, the streets are very lively.

Everyone was dressed coolly, standing in groups of two or three in the shade chatting, or buying things and chatting in a shop.

Everything seemed so beautiful.

When Mu Baobao saw a stall selling candy figures, he exclaimed and ran over.

"Brother, big brother."

She waved her little paws, signaling Mu Pingping to come over quickly, "Brother, can I buy a candy man?"

There were many different kinds of sugar figures on the vendors’ stalls, and many children were standing around the stalls, all staring at the sugar figures.

After asking the price of a candy man, Mu Pingping took out a copper coin from his sleeve and put it in the stall owner's cash box.

"What kind of sugar man does the baby want?"

Mu Baobao said without hesitation, "I want a sugar figurine of braised pork."

Sang Ye and the others were both amused and helpless. The baby never forgot about meat.

Mu Pingping was not surprised at all. He said to the stall owner, "Could you please make a candy figure of braised pork?"

Although it was the first time the stall owner had heard of such a request, he quickly made a sugar figure of braised pork and handed it to Mu Baobao.

"Little sister, your sugar man is ready."

After thanking him, Mu Baobao took the candy figure and looked at it with sparkling eyes. It was a candy figure of braised pork.

She held up the candy man and handed it to Mu Pingping, "Brother, eat the candy man."

Mu Pingping shook his head to indicate that he didn't want to eat. "Baby, eat slowly."

After asking Sang Ye and finding out that no one wanted to eat the candy, Mu Baobao slowly ate the candy man. It was so sweet.

A few people continued to walk around, buying something from time to time, or staying somewhere for a while.

As they walked, they heard a few people chatting.

"I heard the town next door is short of water. It's really strange. Our town has no water shortage at all, so how could the town next door be short of water?"

"Who knows what's going on? Anyway, as long as we don't have water shortages, we don't care whether other towns have water shortages or not."

"We have a good county magistrate. He always considers us ordinary people, unlike other towns."

"The county magistrate is indeed a good man. After he came to Quanzhou, he did a lot of good things for us ordinary people and improved our lives. The only bad thing is that the county magistrate is still alive."

"Yes, the County Magistrate was worse than an animal and should have died long ago. It was only out of kindness that the County Magistrate spared his life, but this animal is completely ungrateful."
