Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Quarrel Appeal_1 Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Quarrel Appeal_1 Finally, Ying Jiuming despised himself inwardly. Reluctantly, as a servant of the people, he could not afford to be overly scoundrel! He gave a cold nod, extending a hand for a handshake, thereby putting an end to the matter.
“Lawyer Chen, what brings you here? Traveling from the provincial capital to our insignificant small county town, you are indeed humbling yourself.”
Lawyer Chen pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, “Mister officer, please don’t tease me! My client has been detained here since yesterday; I had no choice but to come!”
“Oh, you mean this, I’d completely forgotten.” As Ying Jiuming spoke, he pointed to the village name waiting on the side. “These, are the family members of the children injured yesterday in a brawl between He Rongxi and Jing Tong. Since you are here to handle the situation, it’s better to handle these matters first.”
“The child who was kicked yesterday is still in the hospital, even now! If he ends up with a disability, won’t that ruin his life?”
The villagers of Xiao Wang Village, upon hearing this, had nothing unclear. Justice was on their side. He is indeed their county person, really a good one, not being afraid of offending anyone from the provincial capital.
“That’s right! So much for being city folk! To me they are not even humans.”
“Yes! Absolutely! We must have justice.”
The villagers were furious, their fists waving in the air, as if they were ready to start a fight.
A single warning glance from Ying Jiuming calmed everyone down.
From the crowd, an old woman stepped out, trembling and tottering. Ying Jiuming was amused. These people of Xiao Wang village were indeed interesting, their minds working quickly! They were clever in every matter!
Even the old lady is on the move.
With a crutch in her hand, Guan Rufang said excitedly: “We must get an apology, we must get compensation!” Although she was old, her voice was resolute when she spoke.
The main thing was everyone listened to her!
“Unreasonable! Lacking civility.” Guan Rufang pointed with her crutch, “The three members of that family kicked our village boy causing internal injuries, this is premeditated murder.”
“Yes! It’s premeditated murder for sure.”
The smile on Lawyer Chen’s face couldn’t maintain anymore, he had underestimated these villagers. He originally thought he could resolve the issue by spending some money, but he hadn’t expected them to escalate things towards premeditated murder.
“Don’t worry, we will definitely investigate and get justice for everyone.”
Lawyer Chen realized that President He had seemingly offended all the villagers. Ever since he arrived, no one had paid any heed to him, even after a long time.
“How is it premeditated murder! You need to speak with a legal basis.” Lawyer Chen couldn’t help saying. As soon as his words fell, he received a meaningful glance from Ying Jiuming.
A sudden apprehension struck in his heart. He vaguely felt that this matter was not simple.
Could it be that President He had offended someone who should not be offended? But how could that be possible in this remote and backward rural area?
He didn’t believe that there was anyone here whom President He couldn’t afford to offend.
“We are all good villagers who obey the law, backed by numerous eyewitnesses! If you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense, or else I’ll accuse you of slander,” Guan Rufang said loudly.
Lawyer Chen finally understood. These folks weren’t playing by the rules.
He didn’t want to provoke them.
“I apologize for my rash words earlier. I’m sorry! Granny, I was wrong, I apologize to you.”
