Chapter 214 Problem Child Mu Baobao
It's not like the secret guard had never seen children before, and it's not like he had never come into contact with children before, but this was the first time he had come into contact with a child as interesting yet not annoying as the little lady.
"Young lady, I know a lot of things, but they are not what ordinary people know."
Mu Baobao looked at him in surprise, "Why do you call me little miss?"
"You said that you can do something that ordinary people can't do. What is that?"
"What do you mean by ordinary people... wooooo!"
She glared at Mu Pingping who was covering her mouth. Why was her brother covering her mouth?
"Baby, now is not the time to ask questions." Mu Pingping was really having a headache because the baby had a lot of questions at this time.
Mu Baobao hummed and groaned. The uncle said that if you have any questions, you should ask them and not keep them in your heart.
"Okay, you've suffocated your sister." Zhu pulled Mu Pingping's hand away and held her granddaughter in her arms.
She said softly, "Baby, wait until Mr. Cheng finishes his work, then you can slowly ask questions, okay?"
Mu Baobao agreed obediently.
She looked at Cheng Zishi eagerly, with a cute look that said, "Uncle, please get busy. I have so many questions to ask you."
The corners of Cheng Zishi's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt a little sympathy for the secret guard.
Given the baby's personality, she would definitely ask the secret guard a lot of questions.
He covered his lips and coughed twice before asking the secret guard, "What happened in Straw Village?"
The secret guard elaborated, "After Captain Ma led his men to surround Straw Village, a villager reported that people were being trafficked in the village."
Zhu and others were not deeply touched when they heard this.
In the surrounding villages, many families sell their children, which they think is a normal thing.
Doctor Deng exclaimed, "The people from Straw Village are really brave."
"If it's selling children, it's not a big deal; the government basically won't intervene. But trafficking in human beings is a serious crime."
Mu Baobao's question came again, "Master, why is selling people a serious crime?"
“There are also people who sell people in our village.”
When Dr. Deng heard this, he felt it was necessary to correct the child's thinking in this regard.
He said with a serious face, "Baby, you have to understand one thing."
"Selling children is wrong in itself, but this is a family matter. As long as it doesn't go beyond a certain limit, the government has no right to interfere."
Not only Mu Baobao, but also Zhu and others heard of such a thing for the first time.
Zhu and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Even selling their own children was not an option?
"Master, why?" Mu Baobao didn't quite understand.
Doctor Deng patiently said, "First, people are not commodities and cannot be bought and sold at will."
"If people can be bought and sold freely, many people will buy and sell them for money or other reasons, and it will become a mess."
Mu Baobao was too young to fully grasp the key point. "In our village and other villages, there are many people selling their children, and nothing has happened."
Doctor Deng said, "Baby, selling children is rare in the surrounding villages."
"If we don't stop it, people will be caught and sold everywhere, and it will be dangerous for everyone to even go out."
Now, Mu Baobao understood a little bit, "That's how it is."
Zhu pinched her nose gently and said in more common terms, "Look, there are so many good things in the mountains, right?"
Baby Mu nodded his little head and said, "Yes, there are many, many good treasures in the mountains."
Zhu said, "If the people from the surrounding villages don't follow the rules of the mountains and pick and destroy the things in the mountains at will, will there still be good things in the mountains?"
Then she added, "Just like the human trafficking, if we don't stop it, it will turn into what happened in the mountains. Do you understand?"
After listening to this, Mu Baobao completely understood.
She clenched her fists, puffed out her cheeks, and said angrily, "These people are so bad, they must be arrested."
"There's no end of them." Doctor Deng shook his head. "The profits from human trafficking are too great. There will always be some people who take the risk."
"Doctor Deng, let's not talk about this anymore and continue talking about Straw Village." Cheng Zishi brought the topic back.
"Straw Village dares to trade in human beings. Just for this reason alone, there is no chance that Straw Village will survive."
The secret guard took over the conversation, "Straw Village is not just about buying and selling people. There are many other issues involved."
For example, it is not appropriate to talk about murder in front of the young lady.
Mu Baobao asked, "Will all the people in Straw Village be locked up?"
The secret guard said, "It's not as simple as locking him up."
"Specifically, we have to wait until everyone in Straw Village has been interrogated. The county magistrate will then submit an official document, and the Ministry of Justice will make the final decision."
Mu Baobao couldn't understand. "What is the Ministry of Justice? Why are we looking for the Ministry of Justice? Is the Ministry of Justice that powerful?"
"The county magistrate has to consult the Ministry of Justice first. Could it be that the Ministry of Justice is more powerful than the county magistrate?"
In her opinion, the county magistrate is the most powerful one and everyone must listen to him.
The secret guard said, "...Miss, in this town and the nearby villages, the county magistrate is indeed the most powerful official."
"But in the entire official system, the county magistrate is just an insignificant official."
"The Ministry of Justice is much higher than the county magistrate."
Just as Mu Baobao was about to ask, Zhu covered his mouth and said, "Baby, wait until tomorrow and ask Doctor Deng and Mr. Cheng slowly, okay?"
She really didn't understand why the baby was interested in these things.
Although Mu Baobao was still a little dissatisfied, she agreed obediently and decided to ask her uncle and master tomorrow.
The secret guard let out a long breath and raised his hand to wipe the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. The young lady really had a lot of problems.
It hit him so hard that he felt dizzy.
The issues in Straw Village have been basically resolved, so Cheng Zishi and Doctor Deng no longer need to stay in the Mu family.
The two men left with the secret guards.
The news about Straw Village spread to the surrounding villages the next day.
Everyone knew about the human trafficking, murder and arson in Straw Village, and they were all shocked and scared.
"Oh my god, Straw Village actually did so many evil things in secret. No wonder Straw Village is so rich."
"Now I finally understand why villagers keep disappearing in the surrounding villages, and where those beautiful wives from Straw Village came from. It turns out it was Straw Village that did the evil."
"I heard that most of the people in Straw Village were beheaded and the entire village was razed to the ground."
"When the people of Straw Village are beheaded, I will definitely rush to town early to watch."
These things have no effect on Mu Baobao.
Every day she is either at school or at home watching the construction of the new house.
The new house was built very quickly. With so many villagers working hard, it took only five or six days to take shape.
During this period, the Mu family sent a batch of warm caves to the mountains.
It was sent to the mountains secretly without letting anyone in the village know.
The weather is getting colder, and many animals in the mountains have gone into hibernation.
