1. The charge against Li Jia for "assault with a weapon" is established. According to the code, the penalty is one hundred strokes of the heavy bamboo and two years of penal servitude. However, under the clauses of the *Punishment Ordinance*: "Any student guilty of licentiousness, theft, fraud, or deception shall be stripped of their status." While this case may not reach the level of theft or licentiousness, such violent conduct is a loss of scholarly integrity. It is hereby ordered that his status and garments be stripped, his stipend grain be reclaimed, and he be dismissed as a student, followed by eighty strokes of the bamboo and two years of penal servitude, to serve as a warning to others.
2. Although Zhang Yi is the aggrieved party, fighting over water is a violation of local custom. He is fined three silver mace to be used for the repair of the village school, a minor penalty intended to serve as a lesson in civility.
3. The three silver taels for medical expenses regarding the injured tooth shall be paid in full by Li Jia. The disputed water channel shall have its distribution regulations re-established by the village head, and these shall be carved into stone as evidence.
