He hopes that future generations can discover this book and clear the name of the Zhao girl.
"...So this is the priceless thing my father was talking about..." Li Wangan collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
"Brother...the gold hairpin is worth a lot of money!" Li Ershun squatted down and comforted Li Wangan.
"You two! Are you planning to sell this kind of thing? This is clearly a burial object for our ancestors!" Li Fugen, who has always been tongue-tied, also spoke up at this moment to express his opposition.
"The person is already dead, what's the point of not selling it?" Li Ershun also argued.
"That's right... otherwise, I would have received this beating in vain!" Li Wangan, who was lying on the ground, also supported Li Ershun.
Li Wenyuan, the son of Village Chief Li, spoke up, quelling the argument. "Well, our ancestor has one final word. He says that if the villagers acknowledge Miss Zhao's innocence, he will donate this golden hairpin to the village."
After saying that, Li Wenyuan walked towards Zhao Deshan and asked for his opinion: "Mr. Zhao, what do you think?"
"Hmph! Since my Zhao family's ancestor never had an affair, there's nothing wrong with admitting his innocence! Just ask Village Chief Li!" Zhao Deshan turned his back, as if he agreed with Li Wenyuan's idea.
"Oh... This is the first time I've heard Old Zhao say this." Old Man Liu expressed his surprise.
"This old guy has a sharp tongue but a soft heart," commented Old Lady Zhou.
"Haha, since Old Zhao has said so, how can I not agree? Then I declare that the story of the Zhao family girl will be recorded in the village annals and family tree! The funds obtained from the exchange of this hairpin will be used to repair the village ancestral hall!" Li Changhe immediately announced the decision on behalf of the village.
Everyone present applauded, except for the six people from the Li family who were very disappointed.
They took advantage of the time when the Zhao family was busy building the ancestral hall to start the excavation.
After digging along the river for a long time, I finally found the treasure my father mentioned. Unexpectedly, the Zhao family suddenly passed by.
In order to keep the treasure for themselves, they had to stop digging and bury the treasure again.
In the end, we were discovered. If we had known earlier, we would have dug it at night, but it was so dark at night and not safe.
I can only say that it’s just bad luck!
"Okay, the cause of this case has been revealed. Please be quiet and wait for Young Master Chenxuan to make his closing statement." Li Changhe asked everyone to be quiet and continue with the previous process.
Chen Yunxuan sat back in the main seat and was about to pick up the gavel when he was stopped by Lin Tongxi.
The truth has been investigated clearly, but this is only the fact-finding. We still have to decide how to deal with the matter!
It's like you convict someone of intentional injury but then don't sentence him! That case is a waste of time.
"Everyone, please be patient. Let's discuss this matter with the five of us!" Lin Tongxi raised his hand and discussed with Village Chief Li how to deal with this matter.
A few minutes later, the five people returned to their original positions. Chen Yunxuan picked up the gavel and slammed it, then began his closing speech.
"After investigation, we now announce the results of the investigation into this case."
"Li Wangan and six others secretly began work near the river to dig for treasure. They obstructed and insulted the Zhao family, provoking a brawl between the two clans. They are the main culprits."
"Zhao Gengnian and his men attacked too harshly, continuing even when Li Wangan and his men begged for mercy. This caused one of their teeth to fall out, and had a certain impact on the subsequent fight. They are considered secondary offenders."
"The above main culprits should have been expelled from the village, but considering that they had made great contributions in digging out the hairpin and were already injured, we will only use the clan law."
"Second offenders must compensate the injured person, apologize, and perform thirty days of unpaid labor for them."
"I hope the rest of the participants will understand the whole story first and refrain from participating in fights."
Chen Yunxuan slammed the gavel again and shouted, "Case closed!"
Zhao Gengnian felt like he had eaten shit as he was pushed up to represent the Zhao family.
After a few words, he played guessing game and lost.
Unfortunately, I am a second-time offender!
I also blame myself for being so arrogant. I should have stopped earlier.
Except for the main culprit and the second culprit, the rest of the villagers accepted the result. Everyone was fighting for their own family members, and no serious consequences were caused. It would be unfair if they were punished.

Li Changhe stood up and made an announcement in advance: "Also, according to the suggestions of the three young heroes, we will occasionally gather at the village temple to chat, resolve conflicts, and prevent such incidents from happening again."
"Okay, disperse!"
After Li Changhe finished speaking, everyone dispersed.
Lin Tongxi and the other two were taken to stay at the Yao Po Po's place. She happened to have a few rooms, so they just needed to clean them up before they could move in.
Lin Tongxi lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
Because I was too tired, I fell asleep immediately.
…
"Ring a ring a ring a..."
The cell phone rang, and Lin Tongxi subconsciously reached for his trouser pocket.
"Hey! Bro, where are you?"
