As the conspiracy deepened, the voices in the room gradually became lower. After a long discussion, the two finally came up with a plan that sounded more reliable - and legal.

Two days later, the Propaganda Department Art Troupe resumed its performances.

It is said that the play to be performed this time was written by Lord Xue himself. The art troupe put a lot of effort into promoting it, and with the cooperation of the county government, basically everyone who wanted to see the performance came.

As the performance progressed, the old Yining people in the audience could no longer sit still. This time, the script was full of satires on the former Yining, and basically performed again what the Yining people had done back then.

"You are not allowed to act like this. I will kill anyone who acts like this again!"

A vagrant man stood up and loudly stopped the performance.

“Why aren’t we allowed to perform?”

On the stage, the little girl from the art troupe asked in a soft voice.

"You are spreading rumors! You are slandering us! You are framing us, Yining!"

The idle man shouted angrily, "How dare you frame Yining in Yining? Do you really think we Yining have no one? Brothers from Yining, we're going to teach them a lesson!"

"We didn't spread rumors or slander. We just repeated what you did back then."

The little girl explained timidly, her voice drifting away with the loudspeaker, and more and more people gathered under the stage.

"That's just a rumor!" The idle man was furious, and then he shouted to the people around him, "Where are the old Yining people? They're all dead! Are they just going to watch these women insult us?"

The idle man from Yining who was attracted by his shouting was instantly ignited, and as the idle man shouted, "Kill her," a melee broke out.

Finally, the fair and just County Magistrate Liu of Yining County Government made the following judgment on the matter: mutual fighting.

Yes, she provoked you, you hit her, and she hit back, so this is a mutual fight.

If you hadn't taken action and had gone straight to legal proceedings, that would have been her framing you...

The artists from the art troupe who participated in the brawl that day were all sentenced to seven days in prison. There was absolutely no attempt to cover up the crime, which left everyone speechless. As for why the county yamen's official document didn't specify the location of the imprisonment... well, imprisonment in the post station is still imprisonment, right? After all, the art troupe is mostly female, and the county yamen prison doesn't have a large women's prison. They can't just build one now, right?

Then why did the county government send food to the post house every day, and even delicious fish and meat? That's simple. Didn't the county government also provide you with food when you were in prison?

As for why it tastes so good?

Why are you asking so many questions? Come, let's talk about it in detail in the government office...

All the old Yining people were sentenced to seven days in prison.

Why all of them? Could it be that some people didn't come?

Of course.

However, the idle man who was leading the fight became a tainted witness and took the yamen runners all over the county to identify this person, saying that this person actually participated in the fight at that time, and that the man was giving advice and cheering loudly on the side. It was obvious that he was a legal advisor or something like that and should be severely punished.

What? You said you weren't there at the time, but were lying down at home, so you didn't participate in the fight?

That's even simpler. You are the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, why did others go but you didn't?

What? You want evidence?

Do you believe that as long as the master opens his mouth, ten thousand people will immediately come to testify against you, saying that they were all instructed by you...

In short, the streets of Yining County were cleared up, and within a short period of time, there was even a feeling that no one would pick up things on the road.

Maybe you will say that it is only a seven-day detention, and as long as you grit your teeth and endure it, it will be over soon.

But if you look carefully at the official documents of the county government, you will find that the verdict of these old Yining people clearly states that they will be sentenced to seven days of imprisonment and labor reform.

Yes, there are so many of you. You can't just go to jail and eat and drink for free, right? Now that the war is about to start, the empire is already short of food... So what's wrong with letting you fend for yourself? Besides, it's only seven days.

Liu Da personally sent a telegram to Wang Defa, the manager of Qinghe Construction Company, and explained the matter in detail. Manager Wang took charge of the matter very carefully. His answer was: If these bastards can survive one day in my road construction team, I will write my last name backwards!

Later, the old Yining people who were undergoing labor reform in the road construction team said that they could not stand it here at all, and they would be willing to stay in jail for a few more days as long as they could leave the labor reform team.

Well, I've been planning this for so long, just waiting for you to say this.

Provoking trouble.

Fighting.

Forming a clique secretly.

Resist laws and taxes.

Refusing to accept labor reform.

Violently resisting the law in a labor camp.

...

These were the charges Liu Da ultimately submitted to the Qinghe Justice Department regarding Lao Yining's involvement in organized crime and anti-imperialist gangs.

They were all sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of no less than four years. The good thing was that they no longer had to go to labor camps, but the bad thing was that they were all sent to the criminal barracks.

Lin Hai in Dawn City did not see the comprehensive report on the incident until a month later. By that time, Liu Da had already packed his luggage, handed over his work to his deputy, and even said goodbye to all his relatives and friends.

"This Liu Da is going too far. Isn't this just playing with the law?"

Lin Hai sighed, shook his head, and said, "Our judicial construction needs to continue. The law cannot have so many loopholes that can be exploited."

"Yes, Principal, I'll arrange this."

Ling Yang said while trying to suppress his laughter.

"As for Liu Da, he should be punished. So, remove his magistrate position and send him to the criminal barracks to serve as the commander of a battalion. This will teach him a lesson."

Lin Hai's face was full of justice when he said this:

"By the way, put those damned old Yining people under his command, and assign him a squad of stricter instructors, so he can train the soldiers properly. Remember to tell him that if he doesn't train the soldiers well, I will punish him for all his crimes and will never let him off."

His Majesty the Emperor of Qinghe issued the final solution to the matter amidst praises of "wisdom", "rule of law", "fairness" and "justice".
