Chapter 706

The police arrived very quickly.

When Sun Tiezhu reported the crime, he said it was a group fight, so eight police officers came.

"Stop, all of you, stop!"

The police saw it was indeed a group fight.

Jia Dongxu and Liu Guangqi were fighting each other, while Liu Guangtian helped from the side; he was younger, but he could still manage to sneak in a couple of kicks.

Jia Zhangshi, Liu Haizhong's wife, and Yi Zhonghai's wife were all tangled up in a fight together.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were both lying on the ground.

As the Third Elder, Yan Fugui could not just watch idly; he had to go up and break up the fight, otherwise, the subdistrict office would definitely deal with him.

The result.

He took two punches.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Yan Jiecheng rushed up to help and was inexplicably dragged into the melee.

The Third Elder's wife was at home watching the children, so she didn't get involved.

"Take them all back!"

The police were very annoyed.

"Comrade Police, it's just a small misunderstanding."

Yi Zhonghai had a headache.

He didn't want to be taken in.

Whether in the fifties and sixties or in the prosperous decades later, for an ordinary person, going to the station was never a good thing.

"What misunderstanding?"

"Take them all back!"

Except for the Second Elder's wife, who had to take care of the children—the police recorded her information and didn't take her—everyone else was taken away.

The next afternoon.

After work.

Wang Zhuren came to hold a courtyard-wide assembly.

At the meeting place.

Wang Zhuren had a dark face.

Everyone knew why.

Last night, there was a group fight, and everyone was arrested and reported to the subdistrict office; how could Wang Zhuren not be angry?

"You are all truly amazing. A group fight, the two current elders, plus the former First Elder, all arrested. You really have given me a 'great' face!"

Wang Zhuren lost his temper.

He scolded Yi Zhonghai and the others; since they only fought and didn't cause any serious incidents, they were all released after being lectured for a night.

"Speak, why did you have a group fight?"

"Liu Haizhong, you speak first."

Wang Zhuren stared at Liu Haizhong.

"Wang Zhuren, this matter really isn't my fault."

"Last night, the glass at Jia Zhangshi's house was broken. We couldn't find the person who broke it, and Yi Zhonghai suggested I pay for it. How could I pay for this?"

"I didn't break the glass, so I wouldn't pay. Yi Zhonghai fanned the flames and let Jia Zhangshi ask me for money."

"I wouldn't give it, so Jia Zhangshi wouldn't let me leave, pulling on my clothes. I pulled my clothes back with force and accidentally pushed Jia Zhangshi down."

What Liu Haizhong said was basically the truth.

He also wanted to fan the flames, but the problem was he couldn't; in terms of eloquence, he was far inferior to Yi Zhonghai.

"Yi Zhonghai, is what Liu Haizhong said true?"

Wang Zhuren wanted to confirm.

"Wang Zhuren, I was acting entirely out of good intentions."

"Jia Zhangshi is an orphan and a widow, life is not easy for her. The glass was smashed, and we couldn't find the person who did it; what's wrong with the First Elder making a contribution?"

Yi Zhonghai insisted that he was acting out of good intentions.

"Good intentions? Why didn't you pay for it?"

Liu Haizhong was very annoyed.

"I am not the managing elder; I have no responsibility to pay for it."

Yi Zhonghai sneered.

"I think you're just making trouble. Your position as First Elder was taken away, you feel uncomfortable in your heart, and you don't want me to be a good First Elder."

"You are deliberately making trouble."

Liu Haizhong was furious; he rushed over, wanting to hit Yi Zhonghai.

"Liu Haizhong, you are presumptuous! What are you trying to do?"

"With me here, you still want to hit someone?"

Wang Zhuren pointed at Liu Haizhong's nose and questioned him.

Liu Haizhong immediately lost his fire.

"Wang Zhuren, you have seen it too; a person like Liu Haizhong is not suitable to be the First Elder."

Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to fan the flames.
