Chapter 422 Unexpected Person(6)_1
People looked around; it was Lou Zheng who showed up. With someone to take charge, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You’re a scholar, how come you’ve learned to use weapons?" Lou Zheng glared at Ma Zhicai, who usually appeared unassuming and gentlemanly, but transformed into a young wolf when he became ruthless. "Can’t you talk things out properly? We’re all from the same village, is there a need to fight to death?"
"Come on, hit me, I’ll beat you to death." Zhou Ming nearly suffered a loss, his eyes were red. If looks could kill, he would have killed Ma Zhicai a hundred times over.
"Lou Zheng, your arrival is timely." Ma Xincai rubbed his hands as he looked at Lou Zheng, expecting him to enforce justice.
It was a difficult situation to handle. In the end, Lou Zheng’s resolution was to criticize both parties and advise them, essentially disciplining both sides equally.
Ma Dalang and Zhou Dasheng, who had come upon hearing the news, were also severely criticized by Lou Zheng and were instructed to properly discipline their wives and children.
"Lou Zheng, rest assured, I will discipline them when I get home." Ma Dalang was seeking favor with the Lin family recently. Naturally, in front of so many villagers, he wanted to give a good impression.
The trouble with the Zhou family today seemed severe, but it was actually trivial matters that caused the uproar. If things got too violent and couldn’t be pacified, their Ma family might not stand a chance in the village.
