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.
