When Song Ning arrived at Biyunxuan, it was already in complete chaos.

He Honglin was beaten until his head was bleeding, and he was lying on the ground fighting fiercely with a man.

People around tried to intervene, but the two were fighting fiercely, and anyone who went up was kicked away.

The guests and workers in the building all gathered around the two people in the middle to watch the spectacle.

The crowd made way for him, and then they saw that Song Ning was holding a stick.

"Stop fighting," Song Ning tried to persuade them, but the two were too attached to each other and wouldn't listen.

Song Ning took a deep breath, picked up the stick in his hand and handed it to Shunzi beside him: "You're strong, don't hold back, just swing it."

Shunzi understood what Song Ning meant, took the stick from her hand, and struck her directly with it.

The two finally felt the pain after being hit with the stick, and then they stopped.

Both men looked up angrily. When they saw Song Ning, He Honglin was stunned, but the other man looked resentful.

Song Ning, with a gloomy face, looked at the crowd and said, "Biyunxuan is closed today. Please go back. I'm really sorry to have disturbed everyone's mood. You can register your names at the entrance and we'll give you a discount next time you come."

Xiao Cui made a move to ask the man to leave, but the man on the ground objected: "Why should I ask him to leave? If no one's around, I can kill him to silence him!"

"Don't think I don't know, you're all in cahoots. Take everyone else away, and you can do whatever you want."

Song Ning sighed, her tone indifferent, yet it sent chills down everyone's spine: "Even if these people are left alive, I can still kill them to silence them, believe it or not?"

Song Ning wasn't trying to scare anyone with her words. She knew everyone in charge of the government office, so there was no need to kill anyone to cover it up. She could just hand the person over to the government office, and he wouldn't get away with it.

The crowd looked at each other, and no one doubted the truth of Song Ning's words.

After all, the prefect has stepped down, which is something not everyone can do.

Everyone wisely headed towards the door; apart from the man fighting He Honglin on the ground, the rest were all their own people.

As soon as the outsiders left, Song Ning shouted, "Are you all dead? So many people, and you couldn't even keep an eye on two people?"

The people below all lowered their heads and remained silent. Even Shunzi and Xiaocui were seeing Song Ningsheng so angry for the first time.

"Tell me, what happened?"

No one spoke, and Song Ning's anger flared even more.

With a "crash," the cup in my hand shattered on the ground.

"Are they all mute?"

He Honglin quickly knelt down: "Master, this matter was caused by me and has nothing to do with anyone else. If you want to punish someone, punish me."

"So, what exactly is going on today?"

The man next to He Honglin finally spoke, stepping forward and pointing at He Honglin: "You're the owner here? This He Honglin is of questionable character, always seducing other women. Since you're the owner, you'd better be discerning when hiring people. You can't hire someone like that."

"So, he seduced your wife?"

"Indeed, my wife and I were a loving and harmonious couple, but she ran off with him in the end. They are a pair of scoundrels and should be drowned in the pond."

Song Ning's expression darkened, and he asked, "What's your wife's name?"

“Su Hongxiu, speaking of which, I heard she also works here with you. Such a slut will probably ruin the reputation of young girls.”

I understand now. This person in front of me is the one who divorced Su Hongxiu before, Su Hongxiu's ex-husband.

"So, you're here to cause trouble?"

The moment he finished speaking, a crack appeared on the man's previously smug face.

Putting aside the fight, we should first settle the score for causing trouble.

However, Song Ning did not intend to say more to him. He directly instructed Shunzi: "Shunzi, gag him and hand him over to the government office. Tell him that this person caused trouble at Biyun Pavilion and damaged a lot of things. Detain him at the government office first, and I will give him a list of compensation after I have settled the matter."

"yes."

Su Hongxiu's ex-husband used to be a martial arts practitioner, quite skilled, and even a single blow couldn't subdue him.

Stone stepped forward and kicked the man over in a few blows, stuffed his handkerchief into the man's mouth, and dragged him out.

Previously, the Su family was concerned about their reputation and had no way to deal with this person.

Besides, the Ma family is quite wealthy, far more so than the Su family. Now, before they could even exchange a few words, Song Ning had already sent them inside.

The outsiders have handled it; the rest are our own people.

Regardless of the reason, fighting with customers while operating normally inside the building is unacceptable, and such a manager is unqualified.

"Manager He, I invited you here to be the manager and in charge, but you've only been here a few days and you've already caused me trouble."

He Honglin knelt with his head down and remained silent. The servant beside him spoke up for him, "Master, this is not Manager He's fault. It was that person who deliberately caused trouble."

"Are you pleading for him? I'm here to do business. If this happens today, how am I supposed to do business?"

"If we fight with troublemakers today, will someone die tomorrow? Didn't you say you'd keep public and private matters separate? How come you're just going to take your words for granted so quickly?"

"Let me warn you all, this is a teahouse, not a place to settle your personal grudges, much less your home."

I told you before that if there's anything you can't handle, report it to me as soon as possible. It seems you've been ignoring what I, your employer, have to say.

"In that case, you don't need to stay here anymore. I don't want people who are always fighting!"

Everyone immediately fell silent. He Honglin's face turned ugly, and he stood frozen on the ground, motionless.

"Manager He, you'll be responsible for the losses in the building today. Pack your things and go home. I won't keep you here any longer."

Song Ning was indeed angry, but not because the Ma family had caused trouble, but because of He Honglin's attitude.

She could roughly guess why the Ma family had come to cause trouble; what angered her was that He Honglin was so impatient.

Such an impulsive person needs to be taught a lesson. If it happens once, it will happen again. She dares not risk her business.

"Master..."

Some people wanted to plead for him, but Song Ning raised his voice and said, "Those of you who want to plead for him, since you can't bear to part with him, you can go with him."

For a moment, no one spoke. Then, the Su siblings arrived from outside.

As soon as the two entered, they suddenly knelt down in front of Song Ning.

"Are you two going to plead for him too?"

"No, boss, it is indeed his fault, but I introduced him, so I can't escape responsibility either. Boss, please punish me as well."

"Okay, then you two can go with him."

They're all idiots.

"Help him up and find a doctor to take a look at him."

She won't take responsibility if anything goes wrong during the treatment.

"Biyunxuan will be closed today and will resume business as usual tomorrow."

"yes."

Once upstairs, Xiao Cui quickly brought her tea: "Master, calm down. Manager He really should learn his lesson."

Song Ning was furious that such a grown man was so unreliable. She was about to go back, how could she feel at ease?
