The waiter was unprepared for the beating and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come on, someone, someone is beating them up even if they don't pay me!"
After this shout, five or six people rushed out of the restaurant. In addition to the other three waiters, there were also kitchen workers carrying spatulas and kitchen knives.
When the waiter saw that he had backup, he immediately covered his face and hid behind them. He pointed at Deng Hua with his other hand and shouted loudly: "That's him. He beats people even if they don't pay me enough!"
Several people immediately rushed forward and after holding Deng Hua down, they came forward with fists and kicks.
Deng Hua was unable to defeat many hands with his fists. He barely resisted a few times at first, but later he could only hold his head with his hands, curl up, protect his vital parts, and then let the opponent beat and scold him.
Soon, a sharp whistle came from the distance.
"The official is here!" Someone shouted immediately.
Although several people in the restaurant were reasonable, they gradually stopped their actions when they saw the officials coming.
When the officer ran up to him, several people were already standing aside with hands folded. Only Deng Hua, who had been beaten badly, was curled up on the ground, moaning helplessly.
"What's going on?" The official asked loudly when he arrived.
The waiter who had just been beaten immediately came out of the crowd. He pointed at the swollen place on his face and pointed at Deng Hua and said: "Master Chai came just in time. This man bought wine without paying for it. I chased him out." When he asked for money, he not only refused to accept the payment, but also beat people."
Upon hearing this, the official raised his leg and used his toes to push the curled up Deng Hua down to the ground, and saw that his face was indeed flushed, as if he was very drunk.
Although Deng Hua's clothes were in a mess, it could be seen that the quality was still good.
And Hongyun Restaurant is not a high-consumption place, and the drinks are not worth much.
So looking at Deng Hua who was beaten with a bruised nose and face, the officer couldn't help but frown and said: "You are just opening the door to do business, and you are not a bandit in the mountains. Don't you know what it means to be friendly and make money?"
"It's not unusual for a person who drank too much to forget to pay. Even if he choked and just moved his hands to hold the person down, would it be necessary for several people to beat him with such brutality?
"If anything happens if you beat someone up, who will dare to come to your place to drink and eat in the future?"
When the waiter saw Deng Hua's embarrassed look, he actually felt a little regretful. After all, Deng Hua had been here for several days and had never been short of money.
I ordered an extra bottle of wine today, but I drank too much and didn’t remember it. I was given less money, so it’s not like I was eating the meal out of spite.
He was suddenly stunned just now, and he became like this after shouting.
Everyone in the store was here to stand up for him, so naturally he couldn't stand on Deng Hua's side anymore, otherwise he would become ungrateful.
Fortunately, the official dispatch came quickly. Although Deng Hua seemed to be beaten a bit badly, nothing serious happened. The waiter was relieved.
"Master Cha, what you are saying is that it was mainly because this guest officer made a move that we started fighting. We must pay attention to it in the future." The waiter stepped forward and nodded politely to the officer, "Then what do you think now? What to do?"
The officer frowned and asked, "Do you know which family this person belongs to?"
"This kid doesn't know." The waiter waved his hands repeatedly, for fear of having anything to do with him again.
The officer looked at Deng Hua, who smelled of alcohol, and felt very embarrassed. It was quite cold today, and this man had just been beaten. If he was left here alone, he might freeze to death if he lay there all night.
"Take the person back to the Yamen first and wait until he sobers up." The official ordered the person behind him.
"Yes!" The two guards responded feebly.
Although they are not happy, they don't dare to leave people here.
You know, during the Chinese New Year this year, because Shen Zhonglei ordered the construction of many shacks and the provision of porridge and medicine, not a single person in Wuchang Prefecture died on the streets due to cold and hunger disease during the period before and after.
Prince Rui's Palace specially commended Shen Zhonglei for this.
This is a real achievement that can be written down in the book. It's not even the first month yet, so they don't dare to discredit this achievement.
If you don't know, forget it. If you know and don't do anything, wouldn't it be tantamount to directly acting against Shen Zhonglei?
It's no joke to hinder people's career. Not to mention that they won't be able to survive in the government office, it will be difficult to find another job after they go out. Who would want to use such a person?
However, just when the two officers came forward to pick Deng Hua up, Deng Hua suddenly became drunk again and punched the officers.
"You bastards, how dare you hit me? I really, really think you, Mr. Deng, am easy to bully!"
The unsuspecting official was punched by Deng Hua just like the waiter before.
The officer covered his eyes which were so beaten that they were so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Fortunately, I spoke for him just now, which shows that these rotten drunkards really don't deserve sympathy.
"How dare you attack an official!" The official was in pain and angry, and his voice was trembling a little. "Catch him and put him in jail. I want to see where he comes from, Mr. Deng!"
As soon as they heard that someone was going to be arrested, the two young guards immediately became excited and went up to hold Deng Hua down.
They were doing this to atone for their sins. After all, if the two of them had caught the man just now, they wouldn't have let him get a job.
Deng Hua continued to struggle while being held down, cursing endlessly.
But the people who worked in the government office also had their own methods. Two harsh blows made Deng Hua grimace in pain and dare not move any more.
Dejected, Deng Hua was escorted back to the government office by the officials. No one noticed that anyone was following them all the way. After they reached the government office, they could no longer follow, so the man found a place with leeward wind in the alley opposite and squatted down. It's one night.
The next morning, after Deng Hua "sobered up", he told his address to the official who gave him a black eye.
Only then did the officer realize that the person he captured last night was actually the housekeeper of Tong Niangzi Medical Center.
When he thought that behind Lady Tong was the Prince's Mansion, the officer's legs trembled.
But he was punched by Deng Hua in public, and he couldn't bear to let Deng Hua go.
Fortunately, soon, a well-informed officer told him that Deng Hua was not welcome in the hospital, so he had been drinking out every day recently. He had caused trouble outside, let alone Prince Rui's palace. Not even Lady Tong would stand up for him.
As soon as he heard what his subordinates said, the officer immediately pulled him up and said: "Okay, send someone to his house to tell him, and ask his family to come over and see how to deal with this matter!"
People in the alley across the street squatted all night. Shortly after dawn, they finally saw Jin and his eldest son Deng Hao rushing to the government office. They immediately had concerns in their hearts. They moved their frozen legs and feet and continued to pay close attention to the government office. The gate of the government office.
