"Teacher Fan, have you ever thought about the consequences and impact if you withdraw the case?" Li Yuanlang patiently enlightened.

"County Magistrate Li, I know that this will condone Zhai Yi and others and encourage bad habits. I am making a bad start..." Fan Yi bowed his head deeply.

But he added: "County Magistrate Li, you have to think about me. I still have to live here and face those people in the future. I can't bother you with everything and rely on you."

"Besides, the conditions they offered me are quite generous and look very tempting. If Zhai Yi is really convicted, all these things will be gone. What else can I get?"

"As ordinary people, we only look at immediate interests. The long-term has nothing to do with us and shouldn't be our concern..."

Li Yuanlang did not ask in depth who Fan Yi said they were. He could guess that they must be people wearing official garb.

It was their promise that convinced Fan Yi.

As he said, if Zhai Yi was really sent to jail, Fan Yi would at most get some civil compensation, but he also thoroughly offended the interceding officials.

He still has to live in Daiding County and deal with officials. If he offends them, he will naturally get no good results.

Li Yuanlang understood Fan Yi's difficulties. He patted Fan Yi's shoulder helplessly, said a few words of comfort, and left the hospital with heavy steps.

Han Mingguo called and said he was going to take over Yuen Long.

"I'm at the county hospital, come here to pick me up." Li Yuanlang sent his location.

As soon as he got into Han Mingguo's car, Li Yuanlang asked: "I want to ask you something. If you get the victim's forgiveness, what benefits will it bring to the defendant?"

Han Mingguo smiled and asked, "You mean Zhai Yi's case, right?"

"Yes." Li Yuanlang nodded and admitted.

Han Mingguo is the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and is naturally familiar with the law, so he analyzed it from a legal perspective.

Since Fan Yi has already reported the case, the case will be filed after the public security organ accepts it.

Fan Yi suffered multiple fractures all over his body. If it is determined to be a minor injury of level two or above, then Zhai Yi will bear criminal responsibility and be transferred to the procuratorate, which will initiate a public prosecution and the court will hear the verdict.

Regardless of Fan Yi's attitude, Zhai Yi must be held criminally responsible.

Because the public security organs filing a case for investigation is a state act, not a private act. It is not something that can be settled by private individuals if they want to mediate, and private individuals are not allowed to intervene.

However, as the injured party, Fan Yi's attitude is crucial.

If Fan Yi understands, the court will fully consider this when sentencing.

Either get a lighter sentence or be exempted from criminal punishment.

If Fan Yi is identified as having a minor injury of less than second degree, it will not constitute the crime of intentional injury.

The law stipulates that in cases of intentional injury resulting from civil disputes that cause minor injuries, if the criminal suspect or defendant sincerely repentes, actively compensates the victim and obtains understanding, and the victim voluntarily reconciles, he may be treated leniently.

For minor injuries below the second level, if they are not serious, you do not need to bear criminal responsibility.

Li Yuanlang understood. In this way, identifying Fan Yi's injury was the top priority.

"You can say that." Han Mingguo agreed and asked with interest: "It seems that you really intend to send Zhai Yi in, even if Fan Yi forgives you?"

"In the Ming Dynasty, Zhai Yi's case has had a bad impact. Without punishment, it will be difficult to convince the public. The most irritating thing is that such a simple case of hurting people has alarmed so many people to come to me to intercede, and they are all high-ranking people.

County leaders. I'm just wondering, how can Yue Yao have so much energy?"

Han Mingguo also sighed, "Yes, there are so many stories about beautiful women."

It sounds like there is something in his words.

Li Yuanlang didn't want to listen to Han Mingguo's riddles, so he asked directly: "You might as well tell me what you know. I'm all ears."

"It's not a big deal. Of course, these are all things I've heard. I can't guarantee whether they are accurate or not."

"It doesn't matter, you just said it, and I just listened to it, and I just listened to the story." Li Yuanlang's tone was relaxed, but his ears perked up.

According to Han Mingguo, Yue Yao was originally an ordinary waiter in the guest house. Later, for some unknown reason, she won the trust of the county magistrate Shen Aijun and supported her all the way until she became the general manager of the guest house.

She married Zhai Yi three years ago. To be honest, this marriage was beyond everyone's expectations and was shocking.

Zhai Yi has the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat, and he is a little gangster. He has no skills other than cheating, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. If he could marry Yue Yao, it would be like smoke rising from his ancestral graves and a flower stuck in cow dung.

But there is something interesting. Yue Yao and Zhai Yi gave birth to a daughter six months after they got married.

Some people say that this child is Shen Aijun's, while others have rumors that the child's father is someone else. Who can't tell, but it's not Zhai Yi's.

This is the truth. The little girl is chubby and very cute, and there is no trace of Zhai Yi between her eyebrows.

So everyone spread that Zhai Yi was actually a bigot, marrying other people's wives and raising other people's children.

Naturally, these rumors also reached Zhai Yi's ears.

This guy is so thick-skinned that he doesn't care at all. He spends all day messing around and still leads a happy and carefree life.

Until two years ago, I didn't know whether he was a transsexual or had an epiphany and insisted on doing decoration, so he opened the Hongsheng Decoration Company.

When other people open companies, they seek business through connections.

But he was different. He was just waiting for a deal to come to his door, and he was to decorate the interior of the recently completed No. 4 Police Station in the county.

This is a business where you can make money with your eyes closed. Anyone who does it must do it well and leave a good reputation.

But Zhai Yi didn't think so. He used low-quality boards to save what he could and to fool around with them. Before they were accepted, they were full of loopholes. Either water came out here or scum fell off the wall there, which made the police station director angry. I almost vomited blood.

Because of this matter, I often complained to Li Benqing.

Later, Li Benqing came forward in person and didn't know how he negotiated with Zhai Yi. Zhai Yi went back to work and barely finished the job.

Having gained such a reputation for the first time, Zhai Yi did not repent and continued to go his own way.

Even so, he always had a lot of orders, and units always took the initiative to do business with him. As time went by, this guy actually made a fortune.

He lives in a big house, buys a million-dollar luxury car, and wears gold and silver to show off. He is not low-key at all.

By the time Han Mingguo finished speaking, Li Yuanlang was thinking a lot.

Obviously, Zhai Yi was guided by someone and gave him the opportunity to make a fortune.

Who this person was aroused Li Yuanlang's great interest, which further strengthened his determination to deal with Zhai Yi.

Just as I was thinking about it, the car stopped and the place arrived.

This is a farmhouse located on the outskirts of the county.

They took the back door and walked through a long corridor in the yard. Red lanterns were hung and swaying in the night wind, giving it a festive feel.

At the end of the corridor is a row of bungalows with four or five doors, each with a number.

Han Mingguo asked Li Yuanlang to enter room No. 1.

The interior is elegantly decorated, clean and tidy.

There is a radiator under the window, which makes the room very hot, but not cold at all.

There are three chairs and three sets of cutlery on the round table in the middle. Obviously, one of the diners has not arrived tonight.

Li Yuanlang asked Han Mingguo: "When will Secretary Song arrive?"

Han Mingguo handed Li Yuanlang a cigarette and said, "It's almost there. We're still on the road. It's probably a traffic jam. It's rush hour after get off work."

The two sat down, Han Mingguo took a puff of cigarette and said: "Yuen Long, regarding Hong He, I know you have thoughts about Yuntao, which is understandable. In fact, he also has something to hide."

Li Yuanlang first poured a cup of tea for Han Mingguo, then filled it for himself. While sipping the hot tea, he said: "I came here tonight just to hear what Secretary Song's unspeakable secret is? Why did he eat with Li Benqing?"

After a meal, the matter in Honghe will be settled."

Just as Han Mingguo was about to open his mouth to speak, he heard the door to the room rang, and Song Yuntao opened the door and walked in.

Tonight, Song Yuntao wore a long black down jacket, a down hat on his head, and a mask, with only his eyes exposed.

After coming in, Song Yuntao took off his hat and mask, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "It's windy outside, it's quite cold."
