Upon hearing this, Ning Qiuze's expression instantly turned cold, anger flashed across his face, and he looked at Song Qianning with displeasure.
He is the prefect, and Song Qianning is just an ordinary citizen, how dare she refute his words!
Besides being angry, Ning Qiuze's expression also turned cold, and he cursed in his heart.
As if not noticing Ning Qiuze's anger, Song Qianning said seriously, "Please let the prefect make the decision."
Seeing that Song Qianning was so tactless, a flash of anger crossed his face, and he opened his mouth to put on his prefectural governor's airs and lecture her.
Before Ning Qiuze could put on airs and lecture him, Qin Ye, who was standing next to him, spoke first: "Miss Song is absolutely right."
"Since they say they're not feeling well, we should ask a doctor to see them to avoid any future problems."
Ning Qiuze's expression was stiff: "This... isn't this good?"
Qin Ye glanced at Ning Qiuze lightly and said in a cold tone, "Why, does Ning Fuyin have any different opinions? Why not tell me so that I can hear them?"
Even if Ning Qiuze had more courage, he would not dare to go against Qin Ye. He shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, your opinion is the same as yours."
Ignoring Ning Qiuze, Qin Ye retracted his gaze: "Changqing."
"I'm here."
"Go get a doctor to check on these three people."
"yes."
So, Ning Qiuze could only watch Chang Qing's figure walking farther and farther away, secretly cursing Song Qianning for being tactless, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.
After a little more than an incense stick of time, Changqing reappeared in the court, followed by a doctor.
The doctor saw someone from the court and immediately bowed and saluted, "Your Excellency the Prefect."
When the doctor arrived, Song Qianning stepped forward and said, "Doctor, please help these three people."
Song Qianning pointed at the three people on the ground and recounted the incident in a sincere tone, "I'd like to thank the doctor in advance. If this is truly my fault, I will pay for all their medical expenses and compensation."
In response to Song Qianning's thanks, the doctor waved his hands and said he didn't deserve it.
After learning about the general course of events, the doctor did not delay and squatted down to diagnose the woman's family.
When he placed his hand on the first person's wrist, the doctor frowned and stroked his beard.
He quickly let go of the man's wrist and took the pulse of another person.
Every time the doctor finishes treating someone, the doctor's treatment will become deeper.
After the three of them finished, the doctor stood up and bowed to Ning Qiuze and Song Qianning, "To the prefect and this young lady, the three of them are in good health and don't look sick."
"Oh?" Song Qianning raised her eyebrows: "So, they didn't get sick from eating?"
"No." The doctor shook his head and said, "These three people don't have any symptoms of stomach upset. They are strong enough to kill a cow."
After hearing the doctor's answer, Song Qianning touched his chin, looked at the three people on the ground, and said to himself: "That's really strange."
After mumbling to herself, she looked at the doctor again and said with a worried look, "Doctor, these three people were just complaining of pain. One had a stomachache, one had a headache, and one had a stomachache. Are they really nothing?"
"If they really have any health problems, the doctor must tell me so that it can be resolved as soon as possible."
Hearing Song Qianning's words, the doctor glanced at the three people on the ground, stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I am old, but my eyesight is not blurry. These people really don't have any symptoms of stomach upset."
Besides, even if you really have a stomachache, you will definitely not have a headache.
The doctor's expression was somewhat meaningful. "If I'm not mistaken, these three people must have gone insane. That's why they're talking nonsense. They think something is wrong with them and they need to rest at home."
There were no fools present, and the metaphor in the doctor's words was so obvious that almost everyone understood it.
The yamen runners couldn't help but laugh softly.
If a stomach upset causes a headache, what else could it be but madness?
The one with the ugliest expression among them was Ning Qiuze. When he heard the laughter of the yamen runners, his expression darkened even more and he glared at them.
When they met Ning Qiuze's gaze, the yamen runners stopped talking and blushed as they tried to hold back their laughter.
After the doctor finished speaking, Song Qianning turned around with a look of regret: "It seems that the problem is not with the cooked food in my shop. I was originally prepared to help with the medical expenses, but I didn't expect..."
She spread out her hands, shook her head with regret, and looked up at Ning Qiuze, who was sitting above her. "Your Excellency, the doctor's words are clear enough. They don't have any symptoms of stomach upset, which means there's nothing wrong with the food in the shop."
In response to Song Qianning's words, Ning Qiuze tightened his grip on the gavel and his face became gloomy, which anyone could see.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Qiuze suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile, "You're right."
With Qin Ye around and the truth already revealed, Ning Qiuze didn't know what to say to Song Qianning, so he vented his anger on the woman's family.
He slammed the gavel hard and said in a gloomy tone: "Do you know your guilt?!"
"You actually slandered Song Qianning with the cooked food incident and even dared to extort money from her, even taking it to court. Thanks to my keen observation, I was able to prevent you from succeeding!"
Frightened by the sound of the gavel, the country woman and her family shuddered, their faces looking even uglier than the prefect's.
The country woman glared at Song Qianning, feeling angry and helpless.
Until Ning Qiuze asked again, the woman was no longer willing to do so, so she knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, it's all my fault. But I was in a hurry and worried about my family, so I misunderstood..."
He tried to defend himself a few more times, trying to make the matter look like a misunderstanding.
After the country woman finished speaking, Ning Qiuze looked up at Song Qianning, his expression softened slightly, and he began to act as a peacemaker.
"Now the truth has been revealed. This matter was committed by this country woman and her family. I will give you an explanation. You can go back now."
According to Ning Qiuze's idea, he wanted to fool Song Qianning first.
As a result, Song Qianning had no intention of following his ideas at all.
As if she didn't hear the prefect's implication, Song Qianning said, "Sir, this matter has not been completely resolved yet."
Glancing at the woman and her family kneeling on the ground, Song Qianning raised her voice and said, "According to the law, the prefect cannot let them go easily."
"Besides, today's incident will definitely be spread out and known to many people. If we easily let it go, I'm afraid we won't be able to convince the public."
"There are always some bad people in the world. What if someone sees their family make a mistake and gets easily covered up? If they follow their example and do the same to other restaurants and hotels, using it as a scam, wouldn't everything be in shambles?"
"Therefore, I hope the prefect can give an explanation to prevent others from imitating their behavior."
