Chapter 341: Chapter 344 Digging One’s Own Grave_1

Qin Longyun snorted coldly again, and the thugs all knelt down begging for mercy, tears streaming down their faces by the handful.

"Lord Qin, this is our first offense. Please show us some mercy."

"I beg your mercy, I swear I’ll never dare again!"

"I have a family to feed. Please spare my life, Lord Qin, or else my whole family will be left with no choice but death!"

"Now you know to beg for mercy, but it’s already too late. You should not have messed with my sister, Qin Longyun. If anyone dares to harm her in the future, it will be the same as opposing me, Qin Longyun!"

Qin Longyun said with a serious tone. His words weren’t only for those present but also a warning to others considering similar actions.

The thugs were even more disheartened now.

Offending Lord Qin’s sister, isn’t that digging their own graves?

But since when did Lord Qin have a sister? How come they didn’t know about this?

Qin Longyun waved his hand and the government officials immediately took the people away to the Government Office.

"How are you all doing?"

Qin Longyun asked with a sense of guilt, not expecting he’d still arrived a step too late.

Qiao Duo’er quickly shook her head: "Thanks to Lord Qin’s timely arrival, we managed to come out unharmed. Thank you, Lord Qin."

"Still calling me ’Lord Qin,’ isn’t that a slap in my face?" Qin Longyun said discontentedly.

He meant what he said, but it turned out Qiao Duo’er was not playing along.

"Then thank you, Brother Qin," said Qiao Duo’er, changing her terms.

Having the County Magistrate as a big brother meant that the riffraff should stay away from her, so in a way, this misfortune turned out to be a blessing.

"There’s no need to thank me," Qin Longyun said with a smile. "Ling’er is bored at home all day; if you can spend some time with her when you’re free, that would make me very happy."

He admitted that he had selfish reasons for acknowledging Qiao Duo’er as his sister: he hoped to provide Ling’er with a companion.

Ling’er’s maternal home was in Lin’an city. If it weren’t for marrying her, why would he have to come all the way to this White Stone Town?

Here, she didn’t even have one close friend, so now that he had found someone she got along with, what harm was there to indulge a bit?

"I’ll definitely visit in the future," Qiao Duo’er promised.

"Very good. By the way, Madam Liang is used to being overbearing, so be careful with your stand in the future. I will also assign more men to the docks," Qin Longyun advised.

Madam Liang was a headache for him, causing trouble in the community and bullying others, and the key problem was the lack of sufficient evidence.

He hoped that the day would come soon when he could catch her in wrongdoing and bring her to justice.

Qiao Duo’er nodded and thanked Qin Longyun again.

Tan Zhenghong handed over some marinated meat: "Brother Qin, take these back to the Government Office as a treat for the brothers. They really put in a lot of effort just now."

"Then I’ll gratefully accept," said Qin Longyun as he took the offering openly.

Since Qin Longyun still had to interrogate the thugs, he soon returned to the Government Office, and the customers gradually gathered to buy the marinated meat again.

Perhaps because of Qin Longyun’s presence earlier, the sales were very good today; even the time lost due to the thugs’ disturbance was fully made up for.

When the sun still had half a face showing, they began their walk back.

After walking for a while, Tan Zhenghong suddenly said, "How about we close the stand for a few days? We’re about to transplant the rapeseed and have the beam-raising ceremony, and we need to make preparations for the wedding. I’m afraid we won’t be able to manage all these tasks."

These tasks were all energy-consuming, and it would be better not to be distracted.

Qiao Duo was a bit hesitant, for the marinated meat was their most stable source of income.

"I agree. We can gradually save up money. The most important thing is to avoid those evil doers," Sun Erhu expressed his agreement.

Hu’s Clan and Chao Lian also nodded in agreement and took turns persuading Qiao Duo’er as well.
