Chapter 417 Vigilance (1)_1

Despite the punishment of "expulsion from the village" not being harsh enough for Wang Dali, Mo Qingze also knew that Yang Bao had acted in accordance with the newly established village rules, and had been quite fair. Thus, he felt it inappropriate to say more. Hence, Wang Dali's punishment was settled, only awaiting the village meeting to announce the village regulations and to officially publicize the matter, thereby serving as a warning to all the villagers of Liu Yang Village.

As for the dozen or so villagers who had colluded with Wang Dali to extort the Mo Family, Yang Bao also offered suggestions for penalties. These individuals would be warned verbally once, and in case of a repeat offense, they too would be expelled from the village. In addition, each of them had to work for the Mo Family for half a month without pay as a way of making amends.
