Qian Yunsheng nodded and walked out first, while Mo Qingcheng followed slowly behind, leaning against the door frame and looking up with her arms crossed.
"Who is Qian Yunsheng?" A group of officials surrounded him, and the leader was none other than Ma Lin.
Mo Qingcheng's lips twitched. This luck is just unbelievable.
This guy is a heartless bastard; Manager Qian is probably going to be...in trouble...
As expected, Marin gave Qian Yunsheng a cold look: "You're Qian Yunsheng?"
Qian Yunsheng smiled obsequiously: "Sir, I am indeed the manager of Zuixianlou."
"Take him away!" Marin gave Qian Yunsheng a look as if he were already dead and gave the order directly.
"Sir, I'm innocent! I'm innocent!" Qian Yunsheng was anxious and secretly glanced in Mo Qingcheng's direction. Seeing her nod, he felt a little relieved.
"Ha, what grievance do you have? This constable has already heard the whole story. The person who bought mooncakes from your restaurant almost died overnight. What's there to explain?"
Marin snorted coldly and waved his hand. Two officers stepped forward to take Qian Yunsheng away.
"Sir, I'm innocent! This whole thing is suspicious. The mooncakes were bought yesterday afternoon, and the incident happened last night. It's been a whole day. How can you be sure that the incident was caused by eating my mooncakes?"
Marin narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint in his eyes: "I'm not blind, am I? The evidence is overwhelming, why aren't you taking them away? If you have any grievances, go tell the magistrate."
"yes!"
Just as the two officers were about to make their move again, a sneer suddenly rang out.
"Hehe, Officer Ma, are you in such a hurry to convict Manager Qin? May I ask how many taels of silver he accepted from other restaurants?"
As they were talking, a stunningly beautiful young woman walked over from the entrance of Zuixianlou.
The crowd quickly made way, gasping in surprise.
"Boss... help me..." Qian Yunsheng looked at Mo Qingcheng as if he had grasped a lifeline.
"Don't be afraid, Manager Qian..." Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow: "Officer Ma?"
Marin froze: "Mrs. Mo..."
"Officer Ma has a good memory, he hasn't forgotten me..." Mo Qingcheng glanced at Ma Lin with a half-smile, then looked at the onlookers: "Gentlemen, this mooncake looks like it's from our Zuixianlou, but it's not."
"Nonsense!" A burly, dark-skinned man pushed his way forward and retorted in a gruff voice, "This is my neighbor. Old Wang is pitiful enough. How can you be so heartless?"
"Heartless? You're just Old Wang's neighbor, not his son. Do you follow Old Wang around every time he eats, drinks, and relieves himself? Are you sure there's something wrong with the mooncakes from our Zuixianlou?" Mo Qingcheng swept her cold gaze across him.
The group exchanged bewildered glances, wondering if there was more to the story.
The young woman was quite self-righteous; if there really was a problem, she wouldn't dare to do it even if she were given the courage.
A clever person seemed to have figured something out and started watching the spectacle; this was going to be interesting.
"Madam Mo, you are just making excuses. Don't think that just because you have some connections with the magistrate, you can..." Marin sneered, his face full of disdain.
What?
Did the young woman have a relationship with the county magistrate?
hehe……
A series of disdainful gazes fell on Mo Qingcheng's face. A vixen, a fox spirit, confirmed.
"Damn, so the county magistrate is a womanizer..." the dark-faced man shouted.
"Pah! Shameless!"
"I thought she was beautiful and kind-hearted, but it turns out she's a fickle vixen!"
"Pay up!"
"Losing money will result in being drowned in a pig cage!"
"..."
The onlookers were thrown into chaos, while Marin smirked coldly.
"Madam Mo, what, you still want to use the county magistrate to intimidate this constable?"
"Heh, Officer Ma, you coveted my beauty and were publicly punished by the magistrate. Don't think others don't know. If you don't want people to know, you'll only do what you want..."
Before the words were even finished, an uproar erupted...
