After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

The court session on the second day

Several people were brought up and knelt in the hall. They all had unshaven beards and looked haggard, and it was obvious that they had not slept all night.

Zhao Azhi was also brought up, but she didn't have to kneel. Gu Niannian took care of the pregnant woman and gave her a stool to sit on.

What could those men not understand? Chen Hao's eyes were red with anger. He turned around and punched Wang Gang directly: "You bastard, not only did you sleep with my wife, but you also left a seed!"

It was unknown what expression was on Wang Gang's face. He felt a little proud, but he was trying hard to hold it back.

Gu Niannian showed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of her mouth and said, "Bring someone up."

The bailiff Wu Bo brought up a woman, who was none other than Wang Gang's wife Li Xiumei. Li Xiumei had a plump figure, but she wasn't ugly either.

Gu Niannian looked at the woman in the audience and said sternly, "Tell me everything you know."

Li Xiumei knelt on the ground and said the truth directly without any nonsense: "Zhao Azhi was insulted by my husband Wang Gang..."

Before he could finish his words, Wang Gang interrupted him: "You are a useless chicken. Why are you talking nonsense here? I'm done... Uh... Uh"

Li Jing signaled with a look to the yamen runner to come forward, take the rag and stuff it into Wang Gang's mouth.

Li Xiumei was not to be outdone: "Bah, who doesn't lay eggs?"

After saying this, he touched his lower abdomen with a proud look on his face.

Wang Gang and Chen Hao were both surprised, but Wang Gang was angry while Chen Hao was a little excited. They both said in unison: "Whose?"

Li Xiumei shook her head: "I don't know"

She has slept with both of them in the past few days, and now she is pregnant, she really doesn't know whose child it is.

The whole place was in an uproar

Everything came to light. It turned out that Chen Hao and his wife had not been pregnant for three years after their marriage. Chen Hao thought it was Zhao Azhi's problem and that the two of them were not in a good relationship.

One day, after drinking, he had a disagreement with Zhao Azhi. He was going to go to his good friend Wang Gang to complain, but when he walked in, he didn't see Wang Gang. Instead, he saw Li Xiumei sweeping the yard. He was horny at the time. He liked Li Xiumei's round waist and big butt. His own girl was white, but she had no flesh on her body, which was uncomfortable. Suddenly, he wanted to try something different.

Chen Hao looks like a scholar, Wang Gang is big and strong, and Li Xiumei is also a bohemian. She has always had some feelings for Chen Hao.

The two hit it off immediately and started having sex that same day. They became addicted to it, and every time Wang Gang went out, Chen Hao would sneak over, one complaining about his wife not understanding romance, the other complaining about his man not being gentle enough.

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Once, the two of them were lying naked on the bed and talking to each other! Wang Gang came home for something and saw this unspeakable scene.

Wang Gang was so angry that he shouted that one of them should be put in a pig cage and the other should be taken to see the official.

Of course Chen Hao was unwilling to do so, so he went straight to the point: "What do you want? Tell me."

Wang Gang is also a straightforward person. He directly put forward his request: "You sleep with my wife, and I sleep with yours. It's fair."

Chen Hao didn't expect him to make such a request. He originally thought he would just have to pay some money.

After much thought, he couldn't refuse, otherwise he would be finished in his next life if he met the official.

In fact, Wang Gang had always had feelings for Zhao Azhi. Who doesn't like a fair and tender young wife? But he was just thinking about it. Zhao Azhi always treated him with courtesy. When she was alone at home, the door was tightly closed and no men were allowed to enter. Unlike his own wife, she was so promiscuous.

The more you can't get it, the more you want to get it.

This is a good opportunity, so he doesn't need to be a fool. He is tired of sleeping with the big and strong Li Xiumei, so it won't be a loss for him to change her.

The two of them discussed it behind closed doors and found a time to implement the plan. However, Li Xiumei, who was hiding outside the door, heard everything. But she was also very happy about it. Zhao Azhi was beautiful and attracted the jealousy of other women.

The original plan was that after Wang Gang left, Chen Hao would take the blame and admit that it was him who had returned, so there would be no need to report to the police.

After Chen Hao went out that day, he felt bad when he thought that his wife was going to sleep with another man. He walked to the gambling house and lost all his money after gambling all night. When he came back and saw his wife sleeping with Wang Gang, he called Wang Gang up to let him have sex. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly changed his tone, which was originally planned. Another purpose of changing his tone was to make Zhao Azhi feel guilty and obey him more.

The three taels of silver were the money he lost in the gambling house, so he blamed it on Wang Gang.

At first, they didn't plan to report to the police. In ancient times, when women encountered such things, they could only swallow their bitterness. They were grateful that their husbands did not despise them and divorced them. Zhao Azhi also listened to Chen Haoyan.

However, Chen Hao's mind became more and more twisted and unscrupulous. He would make trouble for Zhao Azhi from time to time and even beat her. Especially after drinking, Zhao Azhi had bruises all over her body but she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Once, Li Qiang discovered the scars on her arm. Zhao Azhi couldn't help but muster up the courage to tell Li Qiang everything about her recent experiences and that incident. Li Qiang knew that if she continued like this, people would be beaten to death, so he advised her to report to the police.

And promised that if she was divorced, he would marry her home

Zhao Azhi finally mustered up the courage to report the case to the police.

Zhao Azhi, who knew everything that had happened, turned pale and her hands were shaking slightly. "What kind of beast did she follow?"

Zhao Azhi stumbled to her feet and walked to Chen Hao. With a thud, Chen Hao was slapped hard by Zhao Azhi: "You beast!"

Wang Gang tried to stand up and support Zhao Azhi, who was about to fall because of her unstable center, but Li Qiang got there first. Li Qiang angrily said, "You are the same as Chen Hao. Don't touch Azhi!"

Wang Gang said disdainfully: "She is pregnant with my Wang family's child, so why can't I touch her? I can touch any part of her body, and it's not your turn as an outsider to interfere."

As Wang Gang was talking, he wanted to come up and pull people away, thinking: "He can't be sure whose baby is in his wife's belly, but this one is from Zhao Azhi's belly! Judging from Chen Hao's reaction, it's almost certainly his."

"He's made a good deal this time. He traded a fat, loose woman for a beautiful wife, and even got a baby. It's a good deal when you think about it."

Just as a show of snatching someone was about to begin, Gu Niannian slammed the gavel and said something shocking: "Zhao Azhi is not pregnant"

Now everyone present was stunned and looked at the county magistrate.

Wang Gang: "You're kidding me."

Gu Niannian chuckled, "You beast, are you worthy? Why don't you kneel down and go? Are you trying to commit treason? Huh?"

Wang Gang had no choice but to go back and kneel down

Gu Niannian: "Li Xiumei, are you confused? When you delivered the meal yesterday, you clearly heard the doctor say that you should take care of your health during pregnancy."

Li Xiumei was shocked and asked, "How did you know that, sir?"

After he finished speaking, he thought of something else: "My Lord, are you deceiving me?"

Gu Niannian: "It's not a lie. The doctor told Wu Bo at the time, and Wu Bo's wife had just gotten pregnant. You misunderstood."

Gu Niannian originally wanted to go to the prison to ask about the details of the case, but then she saw a woman delivering food to the people inside. She gave two servings, one for Wang Gang and one for Chen Hao.

With her female intuition, she knew there must be something fishy going on. Who would deliver food to the victim and the suspect at the same time? She then thought that Li Xiumei might have an unspeakable relationship with Chen Hao. She must have watched some TV in modern times, so she asked Wu Bo to act out this scene in front of the yamen.

She didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. As soon as Li Xiumei came, she told her everything like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

In fact, Li Xiumei was afraid that Zhao Azhi would get pregnant, because she also knew that if Zhao Azhi was pregnant, the child would definitely be Wang Gang's.

And she didn't even know whose baby she was carrying! If those two refused to admit it, how could she live with such a big belly? She finally said everything, so Zhao Azhi, Wang Gang, and Chen Hao had no choice but to live with her.

But her wishful thinking was wrong and it backfired on her face.

Now the only victim was Zhao Azhi, and Gu Niannian also took her feelings into consideration: "Zhao Azhi, how do you want to deal with these two people?"

Zhao Azhi was at a loss, as if all her strength had been drained away. She stared blankly ahead: "I don't know why this happened, how it turned out like this, what should I do in the future, why am I a woman?"

As a woman, Gu Niannian couldn't bear to see Zhao Azhi, a fellow woman, so self-destructive. She comforted him, "Zhao Azhi, it's not your fault. It's not your fault that you were born a woman, and it's not your fault that you're beautiful. It's these beasts who treat women as objects to be exchanged. It's them... You shouldn't use other people's mistakes to hurt yourself..."

Seeing that Gu Niannian was getting more and more excited, Li Jing coughed lightly.

Gu Niannian realized that she was a little excited, took a deep breath and said, "How about this, I sentence you and Chen Hao to divorce?"

Zhang Da's eyes widened when he heard this, thinking: "Is this lord confused? He even cares about this matter. Even the county magistrate doesn't have the right to do so."

"Besides, it's better to demolish ten temples than to break up a marriage. Even though this isn't a good marriage, you can't just ask them to divorce! That would just invite hatred! What if the couple doesn't want to divorce? Wouldn't that make them unpopular?"

Zhang Da opened his mouth to remind Gu Niannian that the government had no power to break up other people's marriages.

Li Jing didn't wait for Gu Niannian to speak before continuing, "The government can't break up marriages, but the Great Sage law clearly stipulates that a husband selling his wife to someone else is equivalent to a 'divorce'. A woman in this situation can initiate a divorce. In this case, Chen Hao selling his wife, Zhao Azhi, to someone else is no different, so Zhao Azhi can naturally request a divorce."

Gu Niannian looked at Li Jing with gratitude. Although she was considered a talented woman by others, she only knew some arts such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had never read the original laws and regulations.

This cannot be blamed on Yuansheng. In ancient times, girls in the boudoir were not allowed to go out of the main door or the secondary door, let alone take the imperial examinations. For Yuansheng at that time, learning this was indeed of no great use.

Gu Niannian, a modern-day figure, was well aware of the importance of a nation's laws. After traveling through time, she read legal documents almost daily. However, the books were too thick, and the legal provisions were difficult to understand. A thorough understanding often required the use of case studies. Despite her strong memory and talent, she could only scratch the surface. It was truly difficult for her to master them all in just a few days.

Zhao Azhi: "I, a common woman, request a divorce"

The voice was firm, without hesitation

Gu Niannian looked at Zhao Azhi with admiration. In this era where husbands are the most important thing for a woman, it is rare for her to have such courage.

Although Li Qiang said that he would marry her, marriage is, after all, the decision of parents and matchmaker. The Great Sage Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. It would probably take a long time for Li Qiang's parents to agree to let him marry a woman who had been married.
