Once Zhao Deshan said this, the case became very simple.
The victim himself admitted that it was due to carelessness, so what else can be said?
"Dad!" Zhao Shouzhong's wife's voice changed in anxiety. She didn't expect Zhao Deshan to be so stubborn.
Zhao Shouzhong was also helpless. He and his wife wanted to get more medical expenses for Zhao Deshan to recover his health, but his father insisted on restoring the truth.
There was no other way, so at the instigation of his wife, Zhao Shouzhong exaggerated the matter, completely disregarding the wishes of the parties involved.
Anyway, the Zhao family will stand on his side, so Zhao Deshan can only rest in bed.
As long as outsiders and Zhao Deshan are separated, can't he say whatever he wants?
"Let's take a step back. Could it be that Li Fugen is not wrong? If he hadn't fought with my father, how could my father have gone to that place?" Zhao Shouzhong still insisted.
Li Wangan couldn't help but offer his help: "Your father hit him with a tool, and he's just going to stand there and take it?"
Both sides were talking back and forth, but the atmosphere remained tense.
"Okay, do you guys take me seriously?" Village Chief Li scolded the four people.
Seeing that both sides had quieted down, Li Changhe immediately stated the solution to the problem: "This is how it's resolved. Li Wangan didn't hurt Zhao Deshan, but he has to pay some silver as compensation, after all, Zhao Deshan was injured."
"Village Chief Li! You are trying to smooth things over!" Li Ershun retorted.
In the eyes of the Li family, Village Chief Li often sacrifices the interests of his own family in exchange for easing relations with the Zhao family.
This compromise has long caused dissatisfaction among the Li family, including Li Ershun and others.
"Oh! My Zhao family doesn't care about your Li family's money!" Zhao Deshan also expressed his dissatisfaction.
Li Changhe was helpless. He had originally wanted to get some medical expenses for Zhao Deshan so that his son and daughter-in-law would be convinced.
"Then let's announce that Li Fugen is not injured. One is one, two is two. It all depends on whether Mr. Zhao and Li Fugen are happy with it."
Li Fugen was naturally happy to do so, since he didn't have to pay any money anyway.
But if he was injured, he would definitely blackmail the other party!
As expected, Zhao Deshan was also happy with this result, but his son and daughter-in-law were not very happy.
Although Zhao Chuangdong wanted to say something, his father was too stubborn and he couldn't persuade him.
Everyone returned to the place where the trial had just taken place and continued to preside over the trial.
"We hereby declare that Li Fugen did not directly injure Zhao Deshan; his injury was caused by Zhao Deshan slipping and falling."
"Zhao Shouzhong maliciously exaggerated the facts and should have been punished, but considering his filial piety, he will not be punished for now. He will write a confession by hand and post it on the public notice board."
Chen Yunxuan announced the verdict and then asked Village Chief Li to announce a decision.
"Of course, none of us encourage Zhao Shouzhong's behavior! Otherwise, the whole village would be in chaos!"
"This is just one instance. If it happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless! Anyone who violates this rule will be kicked out of the village by me personally!"
"Whether your surname is Li, Zhao, or anything else, it's the same!"
In fact, according to the ancient society based on human relationships, Zhao Shouzhong could even avoid being scolded.
But Lin Tongxi thought of a modern case that was somewhat similar to this one.
You clearly didn't hurt the other person, but the other person's family still insisted on blaming you and even fabricated facts.
So for the defendant, this is very innocent.
The family could even be considered guilty of false accusation, and false accusations obviously warrant punishment!
If false accusations are not stopped, such incidents will be exacerbated, and if they happen too often, they will cause great damage to the stability of the village.
It is certainly not okay to drag others into trouble under the guise of filial piety.
Therefore, he strongly suggested a symbolic punishment for Zhao Shouzhong.
"The verdict is now announced. The case of Li Fugen causing injury to Zhao Deshan is closed!" After Chen Yunxuan finished speaking, he slammed the gavel.
This verdict caused heated discussion among the public. Some members of the Zhao family accused Zhao Shouzhong of deceiving everyone, while others questioned the verdict.
Of course, the one who should be most dissatisfied should be Zhao Shouzhong. Not only did he not ask Li Fugen to compensate them, but he also embarrassed himself!
To achieve such a result, it is naturally thanks to the support of Old Lady Zhao and Zhao Shanhe behind the scenes.
Even so, it also aroused the anger of some members of the Zhao family, and they even began to question whether Old Lady Zhao was inclined towards the Li family.
If the Zhao family can think so, the Li family will naturally think so too.
Li Fugen originally thought that Village Chief Li would continue to favor the Zhao family, but he didn't expect that he would actually help him. He was very proud at the moment.
Although he was beaten into a pig's head, it did not prevent him from showing a smug smile. He found Li Ershun and Li Wangan to talk privately.
"Is this the end?"
"It's too sloppy."
"What about the other injured people?"
"That's right! I was beaten pretty hard."
"Pah! These young people really don't know how to do things!"
There was a lot of discussion off the court, and this was exactly the effect Lin Tongxi wanted.
Seeing Li Fugen's obscene smile, Shi Kaishan couldn't hold back anymore. He was waiting for Lin Tongxi to uphold justice, but Li Fugen was not punished!
Even if he was expelled from the village, Shi Kaishan would beat this beast to death.
But Zhou Tiezhu pressed him down and signaled him to wait a moment.
After Li Fugen and his two brothers finished discussing, Lin Tongxi took out a loud speaker and shouted at everyone.
"Everyone may have misunderstood! The whole case is not over yet, this is just a small case!"
"The case of Li Fugen causing Zhao Deshan's injury is indeed closed, but if other people are injured, you can still report it!"
