That's all I wanted to say. If you want to keep it, I don't mind.
Song Ning's tone was not good from the beginning. Since they came to cause trouble, they must have thought it through carefully, and the consequences were clear.
Since they've come knocking on her door, she can't back down.
Feeling humiliated, the people outside became enraged. One of them shouted, "Song Ning, don't think that just because you have the magistrate backing you up, you can act like a tyrant here. Let me tell you, this isn't your place, and you don't get to decide things!"
Song Ning scoffed: "I built this place, I arranged everything inside, and even the ground you're standing on right now was paved with my money."
"So what? The magistrate is still here. It's not your place to speak, you shameless brat!"
Song Ning's expression darkened, but a brighter smile appeared on her face as she slowly walked towards the person who had spoken.
Then, the squeals of a pig being slaughtered rang out from the crowd.
The man was clutching one leg, spinning around on one foot in pain.
Song Ning had been hiding a wooden stick in his hand, waiting for this moment.
She's a good person, but she can also be a villain if the situation demands it.
He swept his cold eyes across the crowd, his voice sharper than ever before: "The school's rules will not change. If you can't accept them, you are welcome to leave Tianxiang County. There are plenty of people in Tianxiang County, we don't need you. If you dare to keep arguing here, next time it won't be sticks, it will be knives."
"You, you...you are utterly lawless! I'm going to report you to the county government!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Zheng Gaoyi was standing outside with a sullen face.
As soon as Zheng Gaoyi arrived, the man who had just been hit by Song Ning scrambled over and said, "My lord, you must do us justice! This Song Ning, relying on his connections in Tianxiang County, dared to disregard human ethics and the rules passed down through the Jin Dynasty in such a sacred place as the school, allowing women to enter the school. This is a disgrace to the Jin Dynasty!"
"Yes, sir! This Song Ning committed violence in the street; his actions were heinous. You must punish him severely!"
Zheng Gaoyi glanced at Song Ning, said nothing, and walked over to stand next to Song Ning.
"Since everyone has many opinions about this matter, and I am not the kind of person who disregards public opinion, here's what we'll do: anyone who is dissatisfied with this matter can raise their hand, and I will certainly uphold justice for you."
