Mu Tong said, "This is the rule of Xiao Bei Village. They have always done business with traveling merchants and stayed out of military affairs. The village has a backing in the Prefecture Government Office, so Mrs. Niu should keep the relatives in check and not let them cause trouble in the village. Otherwise, we'll all be driven out of Xiao Bei Village. If the trouble is too big, the people of Xiao Bei Village might hack us to death with random blades!"
Mrs. Kuang was shocked, "Is it that serious? We're soldiers, aren't we? How can we be afraid of them?"
Uncle Mu Tong said, "What are soldiers worth? The folks here are fierce and have seen so many soldiers that they're no longer afraid. Plus, Xiao Bei Village has been here for hundreds of years, like a local tyrant, so we need to get along well with them."
Niu Dabao shouted, "Did you hear that? Don't make trouble for us!"
