Chapter 365 Private
Obviously, this act treated Song Ying as a child, and a child's words should not be taken seriously.
Song Ying was very angry, and Luo Yanxing was even angrier. She put her hands on her waist and raised her eyebrows, and was about to start scolding to stop him. Song Ying held her back and said, "Listen to what Uncle Master has to say."
Doctor Ma looked at Song Ying in surprise. His attitude had been made clear before. Did Song Ying mean that he agreed not to meet with the official?
He was so stubborn before and insisted on reporting the case to the police, why did he suddenly change his mind?
He looked at Yuan Qing and Shen Jing again. If he remembered correctly, when Yan Xing and Manager Qi were shouting, these three were whispering in the back. What did these two say to persuade her?
Seeing that Doctor Ma had not answered, Shopkeeper Qi got a little anxious and couldn't help but say it again, "It's noon now, and they are making such a fuss. I guess you haven't had a good meal yet. How about this, let's go to Tianxiang Tower and sit down to eat while we talk. What do you think, Doctor Ma?"
Doctor Ma came back to his senses and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need to go to Tianxianglou. We've already had our meal. If Shopkeeper Qi doesn't mind, let's go into the clinic and talk."
Shopkeeper Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "No problem, no problem!"
It was obvious from the look on his face that he was very reluctant to go to the county government office.
Seeing this, Luo Yanxing wanted to suggest going to the county government office again. Since the other party was afraid, he naturally had to take advantage of it.
Song Ying held her again and shook his head slightly.
Luo Yanxing was unwilling and puzzled, but because Doctor Ma had already agreed to this matter and Song Ying repeatedly tried to stop him, he had to hold his words back and followed him back to the clinic.
As soon as both parties sat down, Doctor Ma said, "Although the children were a little stubborn, they were right. Business is business. How can you hire someone to beat the children?"
"Oh, Doctor Ma, this is a misunderstanding! How could I, an adult, really bother with a child? I was just angry that day and said some harsh words to vent my anger!
This little girl surnamed Luo was really rude. Brother Ma, you know me well. I have been running a shop in Qingshui County for so many years, but I have never been humiliated by a little girl like this. I was so angry that I said a few harsh words, but I didn’t want to be misunderstood by the shop assistants. "
Shopkeeper Qi insisted that it was not his idea to hire someone to beat Luo Yanxing, and he also established a relationship with Doctor Ma.
Luo Yanxing had a bad temper to begin with, so he couldn't stand being slandered on the spot. He immediately retorted, "Shorty, stop talking nonsense to me! I'm not being polite! I was obviously very polite that day!"
"Doctor Ma, look at this..." Shopkeeper Qi looked helpless.
"Yanxing, you are a junior and you are not allowed to swear." Doctor Ma scolded gently.
Luo Yanxing was so angry, "How can he be considered my elder? A shorty..."
Song Ying covered her mouth and said, "The elders are talking, we just listen, don't interrupt."
If she continues to scold, even her reasonable remarks will become unreasonable.
I didn't realize it before, but now I realize that people in Jinchuan really like to swear. If the crime of swearing is to be strictly enforced, I'm afraid everyone in the province will be punished!
Luo Yanxing turned his head and looked at her suspiciously, "Are you possessed by a ghost today?"
Song Ying: “…”
Yuan Qing and Shen Jing were almost amused by the two of them, but they held back their laughter and said to Song Ying, "Song Ying is right. When elders are talking about serious matters, young people should not interrupt casually. This is etiquette and filial piety."
After the two scholars said this, Luo Yanxing once again endured and shut up.
Shopkeeper Qi said hurriedly, "But he is my shop assistant after all, and he did it for my sake. Although he did a bad job, his heart was good. I will apologize to you all on his behalf. I will also pay for Miss Luo's medical expenses."
Since they have decided not to report the matter to the authorities and settle it privately, they naturally have to strive for more benefits. Song Ying snorted and said, "An apology is enough? Our Yan Xing was injured so badly that the wounds are still painful. You just apologize and that's it?"
Shopkeeper Qi even endured Luo Yanxing's direct insults, not to mention Song Ying's euphemistic and sarcastic tone. He repeated calmly: "I will pay for the treatment of the injury."
Song Ying gritted her teeth: "If you didn't hire someone to beat her up, she wouldn't need medical treatment if she wasn't injured, so you should have paid for it! How about the pain she suffered for nothing? And how about the lost business from not being able to go out and sell pancreas because of the injury?"
Shopkeeper Qi's forehead twitched, thinking that it was not as if the pancreas could not be sold, but he still wanted money for this, how cruel!
He had seen Song Ying's eloquence several times before, and knew that she was good at speaking, so he resolutely ignored her and continued to say to Doctor Ma: "Miss Luo has suffered in vain, and I should express my gratitude. However, my Yanhongtang has many expenses, and I don't have that much spare money at the moment. This delayed business..."
He looked embarrassed and asked, "How about I help you sell the pancreas these days? Or I can buy it?"
Song Ying cursed the cunning merchant, saying he would help sell it, but who knew how much he could sell it for. As for his second method, it was even more abominable. Their pancreas could only be sold for 25 coins at most, but Yanhongtang sold it for 30 coins, so he could still make 5 coins for each pancreas.
At this time, Yuan Qing, who had been silent, suddenly said, "The crime of daytime robbery is less punishable than that of ordinary robbery, with only 300 strokes of the cane, but if you rob someone else's property, you must tattoo the word 'robbery' on your face."
Manager Qi's face suddenly turned pale and tense. That day, Zhang Dazhi and his gang not only robbed Luo Yanxing of the money he earned from selling pancreas, but also robbed the remaining pancreas.
Song Ying understood what he meant and immediately asked, "If this sin needs to be redeemed with money, how much does it cost?"
Yuan Qing hummed, "About six strings of cash, the exact amount will depend on how the county magistrates decide."
Manager Qi had been doing business for so many years that he naturally understood what he meant. On paper it was six strings of cash, but there were many twists and turns in the yamen, and who knew if the officials would fabricate some other charges and fine him more.
As for getting beaten for real, Manager Qi didn't dare to risk his life. The beating sticks in the yamen were very severe. One blow could take a person's life, while hundreds of blows could only leave superficial injuries.
Song Ying smiled and said, "Manager Qi is a wealthy man, so six strings of cash is nothing. Why don't we report it to the authorities and ask the county magistrate to make the judgment?"
Shopkeeper Qi raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Doctor Song, you are joking. Since we are sitting down to talk, we can continue to talk if you are not satisfied.
Well, that guy has been with me for many years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. How can I bear to let him suffer the pain of caning? So I will pay 4 strings of money on his behalf. I hope that Doctor Ma will consider his loyalty to the master and settle the matter."
