"There's definitely no law against it. Who would have thought that men could be attracted to men, and women could be attracted to women? It's such a bizarre thing."
Xiao Ling'er couldn't stand the county magistrate's complaints, otherwise she would definitely tell him that he was ignorant.
The fact that men can admire men and women can admire women has existed since ancient times.
"Therefore, Wu Haoyang's admiration for men is just his personal preference. He has not violated the law and has not hurt anyone. He should be not guilty." Xiao Ling'er's tone was a little strong.
The county magistrate didn't dare to object and could only pronounce the verdict: "Wu Haoyang's actions were his... personal hobby. They didn't affect or harm anyone else. He is not guilty."
"Instead, they committed the crimes of false accusation, intentional injury, and attempted murder.
As for Niu Dashan, he committed the crime of attempted rape, so the sentencing should be based on the law." Xiao Ling'er continued to suggest.
"Bang." The county magistrate slammed the gavel for the last time and made the final verdict.
"Niu Dashan committed the crime of attempted rape of a woman without her consent and was sentenced to 30 lashes and three years in prison."
"Li Cuihua, Bai Xiaoxiao, Li Ping, and He Shusheng... were convicted of false accusations, intentional injury, and attempted murder. They were sentenced to 40 lashes and five years in prison."
To be honest, there are still many details in this case and the verdict is very rough.
Xiao Ling'er knew in his heart that the ancient laws were not so perfect, and he wanted to use this incident to serve as a warning to everyone.
Otherwise, there are many ignorant villagers who do not take the law seriously and resort to lynching at will, such as drowning in a pond and burning people with fire.
After the case was over, Xiao Ling'er and Gu Yunting declined the county magistrate's enthusiastic invitation and left the county government office directly.
"Thank you!" Outside the yamen, Wu Haoyang wanted to kneel down to thank Xiao Ling'er, but was helped up by Gu Yunting.
Why was it Gu Yunting who helped him up? Of course, it was because he moved too quickly.
Bah, he was just jealous and didn't want his wife to have any contact with other men.
Wu Haoyang was so beautiful and exquisite. He knew that Ling'er always liked good-looking people, regardless of gender.
It was like this with him, with Ren Yanran, with that woman in Yangcheng, and now she is more patient with Wu Haoyang.
Ling'er had taken a fancy to his face and hands at the beginning. He looked carefully and found that these people were not only good-looking, but also had beautiful hands.
Xiao Ling'er had no idea what was going on in his mind, so she told Wu Haoyang, "Live a good life. There's nothing wrong with loving a man or a woman."
After separating, Xiao Ling'er and Gu Yunting continued on their journey.
They continued to stop and go for three whole months until they arrived at the Misty Village without any accidents.
When the village chief of Misty Village heard the news, he brought all the villagers to the village entrance to welcome Xiao Ling'er and Gu Yunting.
When Xiao Ling'er entered the Misty Village, she almost thought she had come to the wrong place. All the houses in the village had become beautiful courtyard houses.
The styles of these houses are like twin brothers of her courtyard house, and they look almost identical from the outside.
Everyone was extremely polite to Xiao Ling'er, and they almost had a fight in private to get Xiao Ling'er's right to go to someone's house for dinner.
In the end, Xiao Ling'er didn't go to anyone's house and went straight back to the Xiao family. However, after a while, the house was filled with chickens, ducks, fish, pork, and various vegetables.
Xiao Ling'er and Gu Yunting were a little overwhelmed by the villagers' enthusiasm. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
