If the Zhang family's arguments just now caused everyone to despise them, then Zhang's mother's angering the old patriarch now caused public outrage.

This old man has always been in good health and is a respected elder in the village. If she makes him angry and something bad happens to him, then there will be no peace for their family today.

Fortunately, the man recovered and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I have such a bad temper."

Aunt Sun was the first one who couldn't bear it anymore. She rolled up her sleeves, rushed forward, grabbed Zhang's mother's hair, and slapped her twice.

"I think your mouth is for eating shit, right? All you know how to do is spit shit."

Zhang's mother's face, which was originally slightly swollen by Hang's mother's slap, now looked even more bloated, and she howled incoherently:

"They beat people up. Shangtang Village is bullying people. It's unjust..."

Aunt Sun quickly took off the smelly socks from Zhang's mother's feet and covered her howling mouth without saying a word, and her ears were immediately quieted down a lot.

He spat directly on her face and cursed, "Bah! What the hell is that?"

"Okay, good job!"

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and everyone applauded Aunt Sun's actions.

Some people even stood up and appealed to everyone.

"Everyone, don't just stand there, and don't send anyone to report to the authorities. Wouldn't it be more convenient if we just send them to the government office directly?"

"You're right. People like this should be sent to the government office."

Several strong men went over and lifted Zhang Youcai and his son up from the ground. The women also consciously paired up in pairs to capture the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as Zhao the witch who had been playing the role of a nobody.

"Let's go to the government office."

"Bull cart, bring the bull cart over here."

A young man with nimble hands and feet quickly brought the ox cart over. Everyone worked in an orderly manner and everything was done in perfect harmony.

When the Zhang family saw that everyone was serious about this, they were really scared this time.

Zhang's mother had her mouth blocked and could only make whimpering sounds.

Zhang Youcai tried to mediate loudly, "It's just a misunderstanding, let's talk it out, let's talk it out..."

Zhang Dazhuang burst into tears, with snot running down his face, looking totally out of character.

"Li Zheng, save me, Uncle Youde, save me, I don't want to go to the government office..."

The man who was holding him slapped him on the back of the head without mercy.

"Coward, weren't you so arrogant just now?"

Seeing that the situation seemed a little out of control, Zhang Lizheng quickly turned to He Lizheng for negotiation.

"Brother Qingshan, let's discuss this matter again, discuss it again!"

Although Zhang Youcai's family deserved it, if the matter really got to the government office, then the reputation of Xiaoquan Village would be completely ruined in the future.

He Lizheng was obviously very angry, his face was livid and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Youde, it's not that I don't give you face, but look at what kind of people this family is, they don't repent at all."

Zhang Lizheng nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, yes, I know everything, but reporting to the police is not the best solution. Let's discuss it further."

While the two village chiefs were dealing with each other, the old clan leader calmed down. He patted the back of Hang Shuheng's hand and whispered, "This matter cannot be brought to court."

After hearing this, Hang Shuheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, uncle. I'll take care of it."

He stood up and walked straight to the ox cart. At this time, the Zhang family had been thrown onto the cart and were just waiting for the order to set off into the city.

Hang Shuheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at them with contempt, and said coldly: "It's only because Uncle Grandpa is fine today. If you make him angry, I will send you to the county jail for a while, even if it means losing your reputation."

The old patriarch stroked his beard with satisfaction. He felt extremely relieved after hearing these words.

He is indeed a good young man!

Zhang Youcai saw that Hang Shuheng's attitude seemed to have room for maneuver, so he quickly said, "Shuheng, nephew, women are not very good at speaking, so don't bother with her. Let's discuss this matter again, and don't report it to the police!"

Hang Shuheng ignored them and turned to walk towards the two village heads who had not yet reached a conclusion.

"I have a plan, you two can listen to it."

"please say."

Zhang Lizheng spoke first, seeming a little anxious.

Hang Shuheng nodded and said, "I can choose not to report it to the police, but they must pay the price for their actions. In order to prevent people from saying that Shangtang Village is bullying others in the future, how to deal with them will be decided by you, Xiaoquan Village, and Shangtang Village will never interfere."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lizheng couldn't help but take a deep look at the young man in front of him.

This young man said lightly that he handed over the disposal right to Koizumi Village, which seemed to be a concession, but it was not.

Dealing with people is also a science. How to deal with them depends on the sincerity of Koizumi Village.

Zhang Youcai's family could not hear the hidden meaning in these words and continued to be complacent.

"in addition……"

He paused and continued, "Let them confess their crimes and sign a confession. Three copies will be kept by Xiaoquan Village, Shangtang Village, and me. If they dare to cause trouble to me again in the future under various names, I will bring them to court and this confession can be used as evidence."

After saying this, he couldn't help but laugh: "So in the future, I hope that Zhang Lizheng will control them well."

Finally, he didn't forget to add another blow.

"For the sake of fairness, the confession should be written by you, Zhang Lizheng."

At this time, Zhang Lizheng was no longer as anxious as before. His expression looked solemn, and there were some fine beads of sweat on his temples. It was unclear whether it was due to the heat or anxiety.

The reputation of Xiaoquan Village was completely ruined by Zhang Youcai's family, and he now hates them to death.

He Lizheng on the side strongly agreed with the proposal put forward by Hang Shuheng.

He could think of the possibility of having them punished without having to report to the police, but he did not think of having them write a confession and sign it. It took a scholar to have a flexible mind!

He absolutely agreed with both hands: "Shuheng's plan is good, Brother Youde, what do you think?"

"This one……"

Zhang Lizheng was a little hesitant. He wanted to negotiate further, but Zhang Dazhuang on the other end spoke urgently.

"I, I agree, I agree, cousin, please don't send me to the government office. I will do anything you want me to do."

Hang Shuheng did not deliberately lower his voice when he spoke, so they naturally listened to every word.

Zhang Lizheng looked at them with disappointment and sighed. What else could he say?

After preparing the writing materials, tables and chairs, Li Zheng Zhang took note of the crimes committed by Zhang Youcai's family.

Zhang's mother was still trying to get away with it by playing tricks, so Li Zheng Zhang got angry and slammed the table, shouting, "It's already this late, and you still don't tell the truth. It seems like you really want to stay in jail for a while."

When he heard that he was going to go to jail, he became scared. Even though he was reluctant, he confessed everything honestly.

After everything was explained, Li Zheng Zhang announced the punishment for Zhang Youcai's family: each person would be beaten with twenty strokes of the cane.

Zhang Youcai's family immediately started clamoring again.

"Didn't we already say it? Why are you still fighting?"

"Shangtang Village has said it will not intervene, why are you still beating us? Are you the head of Xiaoquan Village or Shangtang Village?"

"You guys..." Zhang Lizheng was so angry that he was speechless. Their brains were full of water. How could they have the nerve to come out and harm others.

He took a few long breaths to calm down, then shouted, "Whoever talks too much will be given ten more strokes of the cane."

The noisy people suddenly became quiet.

Zhang Lizheng caught a glimpse of Hang Shuheng and He Lizheng's laughing faces from the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

Soon, the villagers of Shangtang Village spontaneously brought benches, shoulder poles or bamboo poles over.

The villagers who came with them from Xiaoquan Village took action and ended the turmoil amid the screams and howls of Zhang Youcai's family.

Hang's mother looked at the scene, and even though she was not hit, she couldn't help but tremble, not knowing what kind of punishment was waiting for her.

Finally, the old patriarch came over and announced the punishment decision for Hang's mother in public.

Punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days.

Everyone was in an uproar!

This punishment was extremely severe. No matter whether one was a noble or an ordinary citizen, only those who committed serious mistakes would be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall.
