65: Chapter 65 We’re Tough (1)_1
The onlookers, seeing the government officers get involved, all retreated two steps, frightened, and began to worry for Sister Peiqin and the three girls.
San Ya and Si Ya were shaking with fear, but Pei Qin stepped in front of them, looked at the government official who drew his sword and scoffed coldly, “You’re taking a few children to the Government Office without asking questions?
Is this the virtue of a government official?” She had even fired a gun; did they really think pulling a knife would scare her?
Seeing that she was not afraid in the least, with the two behind her even starting to cry, she remained as imposing as ever and wanted to argue with them.
They exchanged glances, “What’s this?
You beat someone in the street and think you’re in the right?
Whatever you have to say, you can say plenty at the Government Office!”
“To make such a fuss over something so trivial, I’m afraid the government jail won’t have enough space!” Pei Qin said, crossing her arms, and turned to the two beaten men, “You two, why don’t you first tell us why you were beaten?
We have plenty of witnesses here!”
The two men wanted to argue, but some bold onlookers spoke up, “It was them who first tried to cheat this little girl and stole her belongings that got them beaten!”
“Extortion…
there’s no such charge, but blackmail and extortion are indeed explicitly defined offenses, and how about robbery?
I’m not too clear on how that’s judged.
Are you clear on this, Mr.
Officers?” Pei Qin’s gaze fell on the several government officials.
They thought they had found an easy target but soon realized she was tough to crack.
The government officials saw that Pei Qin was fearless and “knew quite a bit!”
“That’s right!
Anyway, she’s the daughter of a Scholar, the granddaughter of a Scholar, isn’t she?” Pei Qin boasted shamelessly.
Hearing that she was a scholar’s daughter, and a distinguished one at that, the government officials immediately started to scold the two men.
The two men also knew that Pei Qin was no pushover, impossible to squeeze, and seeing the government officials signal with their eyes, they immediately begged for mercy, “Madam!
You’ve beaten and scolded us.
We didn’t cheat you out of a single penny, what more do you want?”
Pei Qin looked the two men up and down, “I’m not in a good mood today and don’t feel like selling stuff.
You two can just buy all my bamboo rats!”
The faces of the two men instantly turned green, “That’s forced buying and selling!”
“I’m not asking you for more money!” Pei Qin glared.
The two men looked to the government officials, who decided not to get involved in this.
They might gain some advantage, but if they offended two Scholars, Master County might eventually give them a ‘taste of their own medicine’.
Seeing the way things were going, the two men’s faces fell, “We don’t have that much money; we can’t afford so many bamboo rats!”
Pei Qin frowned, “Do you know anyone in the tavern business?”

The shorter man nodded eagerly, “I do!
I have a cousin who is a chef’s assistant at the Moon Tavern!”
Pei Qin rubbed her hands together, clearly pleased, and hoisted the sack over her shoulder, “Let’s go to the Moon Tavern!”
San Ya and Si Ya’s faces were full of disbelief; they didn’t know what to say and hurriedly picked up the sack to follow.
The two men led the way, taking the sisters to find the Moon Tavern.
The government officials shared a look, “Alright then!
Let’s be on our way!”
The crowd watching the excitement was also surprised, saying that the two men who tried to cheat had kicked an iron plate and now had brought trouble upon themselves.
Some, purely out of curiosity, also followed towards the Moon Tavern to see what would happen next.
When they arrived at the back door of the Moon Tavern, the shorter man called his cousin, Ge Liu, to come out and asked him to convince the Shopkeeper to buy Pei Qin’s bamboo rat meat.
Ge Liu looked troubled, “I’m only a chef’s assistant; I haven’t even had a chance to cook yet, how could I have a say in this?”
“I can cook!
There are ways to prepare bamboo rat meat that you guys don’t know of!” Pei Qin said hurriedly.
The shorter, Ge Wu, implored his cousin Ge Liu, “You just go ask.
If they really won’t buy it, then we’re out of options!”
