To be honest, Mr. Zheng didn’t want to make things so embarrassing.
But what the people in the next village did was unacceptable.
Today we can spray pesticides and destroy saplings; tomorrow we will kill people and set fires?
Blindly conniving will only make them push forward.
The more he thought about it, the more sadness he felt. When Mr. Zheng thought that the village next door would use such despicable methods as poisoning, he sighed repeatedly. After all, they were still a family, how could they do this?
Mr. Zheng asked: "If the poisoning incident comes to the Yamen, will they be punished?"
"Yes." Lin Zhongchun gave an affirmative answer, "The person who poisoned was a human being, and it is a death penalty. The person who poisoned was an animal or plant that was not intended for human beings. He will be exiled and fined."
"I think"
Lin Zhongchun does not deny that the difficulty of this case has increased, and it also means that the relationship between the two villages will move to a worse stage.
She said: "Mr. Zheng, if you have an idea in your mind, I will draft an indictment as soon as possible. The laws of the Jing Dynasty serve every common people."
Master Zheng turned around and looked back at her: "I haven't asked the girl for her name yet."
She smiled and said: "Lin Zhongchun."
At noon, the villagers of Fucun Village gathered collectively at the entrance of the village.
Mr. Zheng stood on the high platform in the middle that was usually used for sacrifices. His voice was loud and clear: "A lot of things have happened recently. We all know exactly what the people in the next village have done. In this regard,
I won’t elaborate on it one by one. I called everyone here for a meeting today just to collect everyone’s opinions.
I want to go to the Yamen and let the government resolve the matter. But we have a deep relationship with the village next door. If we accuse them of poisoning the tea saplings, we will face severe penalties. Therefore, I just want to get the land that belongs to us back.
What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the people below started talking a lot.
Everyone was shocked by what Mr. Zheng said.
It is not only Mr. Zheng who thinks that the people in the neighboring village are still the same family, but also some people in Fucun Village.
Now, if we are going to go to court with them over the matter of our own land, isn't this just exposing the scandal and making it a joke for outsiders?
"Old Zheng, you are wrong. We agreed that we would resolve it privately with the guy next door. But you suddenly changed your mind. Isn't that just breaking your promise and making it difficult for all of us?"
"It's difficult to do? When they sprayed pesticides on our tea tree seedlings yesterday, why didn't they say they made it difficult for us? I think Xiao Zheng's idea is right. We should go to court and make a clear distinction to save the trouble in the future.
When people come to make trouble, they are still as passive as now."
"I don't agree to go to court. The village next door tells us that we are still one family after all. What kind of trouble is this!"
"I support Lao Zheng. He should have gone to court to find out the truth from the county magistrate long ago."
…
The people below were talking a lot, but Mr. Zheng's expression remained unchanged.
He had expected everyone's reaction. Whenever there were more than two results, there would be disputes and sides.
Mr. Zheng glanced at everyone present: "I know you don't want to take things to this point. But have you ever thought about it? The saying that if there is one, there are two is not groundless. They are spraying pesticides on our tea saplings today. Who?
You know what you will do tomorrow. I remember that after we got the first money, the first thing we started was breeding. Maybe some people still remember that when we first started breeding, a large number of fish died."
Mr. Zheng suddenly said this, did he mean that the fish fry that died at that time were also caused by people from the next village?
This is too scary to think about.
At that time, the weather was a bit hot when raising fish fry, and since everyone was a novice, they thought it was a mistake and the temperature that made the fry unable to adapt to the environment.
It turns out that from that time on, people in the next village started doing shameful and despicable things!
"Incredible, right? When I found out at the time, I was also unbelievable. Not only the fish fry, but also many small tricks, but they didn't cause us losses like fish fry and tea saplings. Do you think with them?
The relationship between you and me is always the same, we are still part of the same family, but will the other party continue to regard you as your family?" Mr. Zheng decided to make this village meeting known to everyone after careful consideration.
Everyone has the right to informed consent and can choose to agree or refuse after knowing everything.
Lin Zhongchun stood in the crowd, and she seemed to understand why Master Zheng became a respected master.
He has the majestic posture of a superior, a clear logic of thinking, a heart that thinks about those below him, and a perspective on the overall situation that ordinary people don't have. It's no wonder that Mr. Zheng is successful.
If everyone didn't know about the fish fry, they might think that Mr. Zheng was deliberately destroying the relationship between the two villages, but the fish fry thing has a special meaning to the residents of Fucun Village.
The fry were the seedlings they bought with the first pot of gold they earned after following Mr. Zheng in the warehouse storage business.
This is not only their attempt to do business, but also their first step to become rich people.
If the people in the next village didn't cause trouble, would they have more money and more things?
Human greed is infinite.
The villagers' voices of controversy have gradually turned into voices of support.
"If we support you in suing the officials, will you send them all to jail?"
"Are they going to be beheaded?"
"What do we need to do?"
…
The villagers had made changes under the leadership of Mr. Zheng from the beginning. Now they had a new plan, and it was different from the previous handling methods, leaving them at a loss for the moment.
Although I still have some knots in my heart about Master Zheng's plan to sue the people in the next village, but as Master Zheng said, such a matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the dispute over this land will not end.
First there were fish fry, then today’s tea tree seedlings, what will be next?
If they really have an irreconcilable conflict with the people in the next village, will the next step be to poison the mouth of their well?
When they thought of this, they suddenly became afraid.
Mr. Zheng could see the change in everyone's mood. Not everyone could guarantee that they would always be in a safe environment and not suffer any sudden dangers.
He said: "Since everyone agrees, I will handle this matter as soon as possible. I know some people think that my handling method is too unloyal, but I must do this to protect everyone's interests. You have to scold me
I’ll just scold you and I’ll take it. Anyway, if you have any grievances in your heart, just say it out!”
