Chapter 74 Dad, Ning'er has also taken action!
The yamen runner received the order and ran out quickly. If he attacked the adult, he might survive, but if he attacked the young lady, her life or death was uncertain.
Lin Heng and his group were all stunned. Their problem had not been resolved yet, so how could someone attack the young lady again?
Constable Liu was relieved to see that his young lady was safe and sound. Just now, he felt that Lin Heng and the others had been beaten badly, and now he just wanted to beat them again.
Lin Heng felt that Constable Liu's eyes were a little sharp, and thought that he was like that because he saw how badly he was beaten.
He looked at Qin Qinglin and Ning Ning with pride and continued to complain.
"Constable Liu, you have to stand up for us. We just came to the restaurant to eat, and we were beaten by the grudge-bearing Qin Zhizhi and her brother."
"I didn't do anything. Everyone in the restaurant can testify for me."
Qin Zhizhi bowed to Constable Liu. Lin Heng was determined to bring Qin Zhizhi along today.
"Detective Liu, I can testify that Madam Gu did not do anything." Shopkeeper Wang stood in front of Qin Zhizhi and slapped Lin Heng in the face.
"Even if she didn't do it, she was the one who ordered them to beat me."
"Mr. Lin is a scholar after all, yet you are so bold as to say such unfounded things. Should I go to the county magistrate and sue you for slander?"
Qin Zhizhi looked at Lin Heng as if he were an idiot. He had no idea who he had offended and was still jumping around.
"You're lying. We were the first ones to arrive at the restaurant, and you guys came later. How did Sister Zhizhi know you were coming?"
"Besides, Sister Zhizhi was discussing business with the shopkeeper, how could she have ordered us to beat you?"
"You can't figure out such a simple thing. How did you get admitted as a scholar? Did you just get lucky?"
Ning Ning would not tolerate him, and every word she said touched Lin Heng's heart.
"Don't slander others at such a young age." Lin Heng's voice became a little stern. What he cared about most was that he passed the examination and became a scholar.
"You can talk nonsense at your age, why can't I?"
"You...you..." Lin Heng was so angry that he couldn't speak. This wild girl who came from nowhere was specifically designed to jinx him.
"Ning'er, you're amazing!"
Qin Qinglin couldn't help but admire Ning Ning's eloquence when he saw that she could make Lin Heng so angry that he vomit blood with just a few words.
"Brother Qinglin, you just need to practice more. I can't do it normally either. He's just too annoying."
The two of them discussed how to curse people, completely disregarding the feelings of those who were being beaten and cursed.
Captain Liu conducted a brief interview with everyone present and concluded that these people deserved to be beaten.
Lin Heng wanted to use his father-in-law's position as the county magistrate to teach Qin Zhizhi and the others a lesson, but Captain Liu ignored him.
Not long after, Ning Kun came in anxiously. Hearing that his daughter was attacked, he came on horseback, and the people who came with him were left far behind.
The first thing Ning Kun saw when he entered the restaurant was his precious daughter who had been away from home for many days. She was standing obediently next to a young lady. He didn't know what the young lady said, but his daughter was smiling happily.
Ning Kun breathed a sigh of relief only when he saw that his daughter was safe and sound.
Lin Heng's eyes lit up when he saw Ning Kun come in. He knew the county magistrate. They had met when he went to the county government office to visit his father-in-law.
He didn't expect that his father-in-law had such a high profile that the county magistrate could personally intervene when he was beaten. He looked at Qin Zhizhi and the others with a smug look on his face.
Ning Ning, who was originally smiling happily, felt aggrieved because she hadn't seen her father for many days, and tears immediately flowed down her face.
Qin Qinglin, who was standing next to her, thought the little girl was scared and quickly comforted her, "Ning'er, don't be afraid. It was Brother Qinglin who beat her up. It has nothing to do with Ning'er."
So when Ning Kun was about to reach his daughter, he was startled by Qin Qinglin who suddenly stood in front of him.
"Sir, the beating just now was done by me alone. Please take me away. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Before Ning Kun could react, Qin Qinglin knelt in front of him, blocking him and his daughter.
How could Lin Heng do as Qin Qinglin wished? He quickly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Sir, the county magistrate, he's talking nonsense. They both fought together, and she was more violent than him."
Lin Heng pointed at Ning Ning with a fierce look in his eyes. He was the one kicked the most by her just now.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, it was all done by the common people. It has nothing to do with Ning'er." Qin Qinglin was so excited that he even kowtowed.
Ning Kun quickly helped the man up. Seeing the man's courage in protecting his daughter, he couldn't bear to blame him.
"Dad, Ning'er also started fighting. They were the ones who insulted Sister Zhizhi first and then tried to hit me. Brother Qinglin only started fighting to protect Ning'er."
The little girl cried pitifully, and her word "Dad" shocked everyone.
Lin Heng's face was full of disbelief. He could even meet the county magistrate's daughter in a restaurant, and she was with Qin Zhizhi.
Lin Heng felt like the sky was falling, and the people who came with Lin Heng were also scared silly.
"Dad knows everything. My Ning'er is not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble." Ning Kun wiped his daughter's tears, feeling very distressed.
"Sir, I have investigated everything. The young lady was resting in the restaurant. These people came forward to provoke her without any reason and even attempted to attack her. This young man and the young lady had no choice but to take action in order to protect themselves."
From the moment Constable Liu said the first sentence "The young lady was attacked", he had thought of everything.
"Take them all back to the yamen and let the county magistrate go and pick them up personally." Ning Kun was also very angry.
"Daddy, are we going too?" the little girl was a little excited.
"I'd also like to trouble Shopkeeper Wang to have this lady and this young man go to the county government office to make a record."
Ning Kun didn't want to take them away, but the other party had already reported the case, so he had to go through the motions.
"Dad, let me introduce you. This is Sister Zhizhi, Gu Jinghuai's wife, and this is Sister Zhizhi's brother Qin Qinglin."
Ning Ning remembered that her father still didn't recognize Qin Zhizhi and Gu Qinglin, so she quickly introduced them to Ning Kun.
"So it's Zhizhi. Your Aunt Cui has been talking about you every day since she came back. We'll go to the county government office to go through the formalities and then have lunch at the mansion at noon."
Ning Kun was thinking of going to Gu Jinghuai's house for a meal a few days ago, but he didn't expect to meet Qin Zhizhi here today.
"Dad, let me tell you, Sister Zhizhi's cooking is delicious. Many of the dishes in this restaurant are recipes given by Sister Zhizhi. If you like it, you can come here to eat in the future."
Qin Zhizhi was immediately touched by Ning Ning's cuteness and laughed out loud.
"You heartless girl, why can't daddy go to your sister Zhizhi's house for dinner?" Ning Kun joked with his daughter.
"Sister Zhizhi, cooking is very tiring." The little girl said as a matter of course.
"Ning County Magistrate welcomes you at any time!"
"Hahahaha, okay, next time Jing Huai has a day off, your Aunt Cui and I will definitely go."
Ning Kun decided to visit Gu Jinghuai next time when he was on leave, and to give his daughter the apprenticeship gift.
"Manager Wang, all the losses incurred by the restaurant today will be charged to the Ning Mansion. I'll have the butler deliver them later."
Ning Kun thought that his daughter had a fight in someone else's restaurant and would have to pay for the damaged items. As the county magistrate, he should set an example.
