Chapter 348 Hypocrisy
"Kneel down," Bronze commanded sternly.
After being beaten up, Hu Guangyan's arrogance deflated like a punctured balloon.
His legs buckled and he knelt down with a thud.
The thought of the punches that had just landed on him made him shudder. His lips twitched, and he tried to beg for mercy, but no sound came out.
He was still resentful. As the son of a county magistrate, no one had ever dared to disobey him since childhood, let alone be beaten so badly.
Even so, after hesitating for a long time, he still stammered, "My father is the county magistrate, and he has a bad temper. You'd better release me right now, or you can forget about leaving Shixi County."
The result was... another beating.
"get out……"
After giving him another warning, Qing Tong kicked him out of the private room and let him leave.
"Yes Yes Yes......"
"Go quickly, go quickly."
The lackeys scrambled down the stairs, one on each side, to help Hu Guangyan run down the second floor.
Seeing the group of people who had been beaten black and blue, the guests were all incredulous. They had just seen Hu Guangyan and his group go looking for trouble, and they thought the other party was going to be in big trouble. Who would have thought that the people who were beaten were actually Young Master Hu and his group!
"What are you looking at? Get the hell out of my way!"
"Get out of here, all of you, get the hell away from me."
Before leaving the restaurant, the lackeys remained aggressive, arrogantly threatening the onlookers.
This is a classic case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong; it's a case of losing the battle but not the war.
You must regain the face you lost elsewhere.
The onlookers quickly moved aside to make way. They couldn't afford to mess with Hu Guangyan and his gang on ordinary days, and they couldn't afford to mess with Hu Shao after he was beaten. It would be troublesome if they took their anger out on them.
Seeing them beaten black and blue, everyone felt a sense of satisfaction, finally the villains had been dealt with.
Someone looked up at the private room on the second floor. Hu Guangyan was a vindictive person, and he would definitely not let it go. He would surely take the opportunity to retaliate later. At that time, it was unknown whether they would still be able to withstand the wrath of Hu Guangyan and Magistrate Hu.
After Hu Guangyan and the others left, Long Chuqing and the others also got up to leave the restaurant. Their original plan was to have dinner at the restaurant and then stroll around the night market, but now they had been delayed for a while.
Several people came downstairs, and Manager Feng and Miss Yanshuang came to them.
Yan Shuang said gratefully, "Thank you all for your help tonight. I am deeply grateful and would like to offer you my deepest thanks." Yan Shuang curtsied to the group.
King Xuan waved his hand: "It was nothing, Miss, you don't need to be so polite. We just couldn't stand their behavior."
"It may be just a small favor for you, young master, but when everyone else is avoiding it, your willingness to step forward is a great help to me. Thank you."
King Xuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, Miss, you don't need to worry about it."
Manager Feng stepped forward and kindly reminded them, "Gentlemen, you must be careful. This young master Hu is very vengeful, and Magistrate Hu dotes on his son. If you hurt him tonight, he and Magistrate Hu will definitely not let it go."
Prince Qi said, "Shopkeeper, you don't need to worry about us. Since we dare to take action, we are not afraid of them causing trouble."
On the contrary, we are not afraid of them causing trouble, but we are afraid that they will not cause trouble.
According to the information Qingying gathered, they had abused their power to commit many heinous acts.
What happened at the restaurant tonight can only be described as him acting out while drunk; there is no concrete evidence of a crime, so we could only give them a good beating and then let them go.
To bring them to justice, officials from the Censorate need to collect evidence.
If they dare to cause trouble afterward, they can be charged with murdering a prince and princess.
At that time, the Censorate will face less resistance in its operations, and things will become much simpler.
"Is...is everything really alright?"
Manager Feng still had some worries in his eyes. He knew all too well what kind of people the Hu family father and son were, especially since this incident had happened in their restaurant.
Xiao Han said calmly, "Don't worry, they won't be smug for long. It's time for things to change in Shixi County."
After saying this, the group left the restaurant.
Manager Feng: "Please take care, distinguished guests."
Waiter: "Goodbye, esteemed guest. Welcome to visit us again."
Manager Feng, the waiter, and Yan Shuang respectfully escorted them to the door.
After watching the group leave, Manager Feng, the waiter, and Yan Shuang returned to the counter.
Manager Feng recalled Xiao Han's last words and felt a little confused. He looked at Yan Shuang and the shop assistant beside him and asked in return.
"What...what did that young master say in his last words?"
Yan Shuang turned her gaze away from the doorway: "That young master said that it's time for things to change in our Shixi County. Manager Feng, do you think they are right...?"
Yan Shuang pointed to the sky, meaning she was referring to the people up there.
Manager Feng fell into deep thought, "Those young masters do indeed look very noble. Their identities are probably not simple. If that's the case, then let's wait and see..."
Yan Shuang and the waiter both nodded.
"Miss Yanshuang."
Just then, the young master Liu in white came to Yan Shuang's side. His eyes seemed to show a hint of worry and anxiety as he looked at Yan Shuang and asked with concern, "Miss Yan Shuang, are you... are you alright?"
Yan Shuang remained calm and replied in a light tone, "Thank you for your concern, young master. I am fine."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Liu smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright."
Yan Shuang nodded to him, then looked at Manager Feng beside her and said, "Manager Feng, I'll head back tonight."
Manager Feng waved his hand, "Alright, go back! Be careful on the road."
Yan Shuang nodded slightly to Manager Feng, then turned and walked towards the backyard of the restaurant.
“Miss Yanshuang…” Young Master Liu wanted to reach out and stop her.
"Oh, Mr. Liu," Manager Feng reached out and pulled him back. "Miss Yanshuang was frightened just now. She probably wants to be alone for a while. Let her go back and rest!"
"Brother Liu, let's go back too!" the man in gray clothes advised from the side.
Young Master Liu watched Yan Shuang's figure disappear around the corner, his brows furrowed, and he could only leave the restaurant unwillingly.
Manager Feng watched Young Master Liu's departing figure, his eyes filled with disdain: "Pah... What a piece of trash. Where was he hiding when Miss Yanshuang was humiliated? Now he's rushing over to show concern. Hypocritical, cowardly. If he had stood up and said a word in her defense, I would have thought he was a real man."
"Boss, don't get upset. It's not worth it for someone like that." The waiter draped a handkerchief over his shoulder and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
