The families saw that the Prefectural Governor had taken charge on their behalf.
They received compensation and watched Old Master Tang be stripped of his official position.
The resentment in their hearts gradually dissipated.
After all, the dead cannot be brought back to life.
The common folk do not fight with officials, and in such incidents, it's rare for those at the bottom to receive such proper reparations.
So, they were all very content, expressing endless gratitude to Xia Tingfeng.
And so, the case of Old Master Tang was concluded just like that.
Since it hadn't resulted in any deaths or casualties.
Even if it had been handled according to the law, it would have only resulted in a severe beating, demotion, house search, and so on, not even reaching the standard for exile.
Thus, in a certain sense, Xia Jingfeng's actions could be seen as venting the common people's anger.
And those harmed could receive some slight compensation.
