Chapter 44: Disposal_1
The three village heads were also quite angry at this moment.
The emergence of such people in their own village was a disgrace to the whole village, and above all, it trampled over their dignity as village heads.
What does this indicate? It indicates their incompetence and unworthiness of their positions.
The three of them fist saluted, saying, "Deal with them as you see fit, Lizheng. As for their family members, punish them according to the law. We have no complaints."
Serving as village heads meant that they had a certain standing in the village and therefore, they could be connected with these villagers by kinship ties, which was why they had such a statement.
Several villagers who were co-guarantors with the three individuals were dissatisfied, stepping forward to plead their case.
"Lizheng, we didn't know anything about this matter. You can't punish us all. We are honest and law-abiding people who haven't done anything wrong. We can't be punished because of this beast."
