However, the villagers didnt have time to hesitate for long because the police soon arrived.

The road between Xing An Town and Taoyuan Village was paved, so it was very convenient.

The police took only twenty minutes to arrive.

The police came and went straight to Xiao Lingyus house.

When they saw the crowd, the police asked sternly, “Who called the police”

“Its me!” Xiao Lingyu stood up and said, “Officer, I was the one who called the police.

This woman set fire to my land in the middle of the night!” Xiao Lingyu pointed at Zhang Xiaolan, who was still lying on the ground.

The police officer saw Xiao Lingyu and smiled, “Oh, its you guys again!” It was this same officer who came last time when the Chen Family came to make a scene.

Xiao Lingyu said a little embarrassedly, “Officer Li, Im really sorry to trouble you guys again.”

Li Xing said, “This is no problem.

This is our duty.

However,” He looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked suspiciously, “Why is this woman lying on the ground”

Xiao Lingyu answered truthfully, “She was just beaten by her husband!”

“Her husband beat her” Li Xing looked around and saw Xiao Chengcai standing separately from the crowd.

He guessed that this person was the husband.

“This person set fire to my familys land and caused my family to lose more than 100,000.

Uncle Chengcai was very angry when he heard that.

In his anger, he beat his wife.

We didnt get the chance to stop him.”

“Help her get up first!” Li Xing frowned and said, “Although its summer, its still late at night.

We dont want her to catch a cold.” After he said that, a few village women went to help Zhang Xiaolan up.

However, when the villagers touched her, Zhang Xiaolan cried out in pain and started to curse her husband again.

Li Xing frowned when he saw Zhang Xiaolans red, swollen, and bruised face.

Li Xing asked Xiao Lingyu directly, “Whats going on”

Li Xing knew that it had to be the Xiao Familys land that was burned.

Which familys land could be so expensive

Xiao Lingyu said, “Officer Li, my family grows strawberries on a few Mu of land.

It is harvest season for strawberries.

I was afraid that something might happen, so I installed surveillance cameras around the strawberry field.

“Tonight, as usual, I checked the surveillance.

I was shocked because I saw a figure sneakily walking toward my strawberry field with something in her hand.

Not long after, a big fire broke out in the field.

Fortunately, with the help of the villagers, the fire was quickly put out, or else the losses would be more serious.

As for the culprit…”

Xiao Lingyu glanced at Zhang Xiaolan.

“In order to find the clues, I replayed the video.

I knew the culprit was trying to escape the scene, so I ran to stop her.

I caught her red-handed.”

“Officer, that is not true.” Xiao Chengcai immediately defended.

“My familys land is close to Xiao Lingyus land.

Our land is deserted because we havent had anything to plant in half a year.

“But recently, my wife wanted to redevelop it.

Its too troublesome to hoe the patch of land, so we decide to burn the weeds instead.

It is a complete accident that the fire spread to Xiao Lingyus field.

My wife didnt do it on purpose.” Xiao Chengcai pleaded with Xiao Lingyu again, “Lingyu, your Auntie Zhang really didnt mean to do this on purpose.

Our lands are adjacent to each other, and it is unfortunate that this happens.

However, this is an accident.

We can settle this among ourselves, so we dont need to trouble the police.”

Xiao Lingyu didnt say anything, but Officer Li Xing had something to say.

He sternly asked, “She was just burning the weeds.

But why is she doing it in the middle of the night Shes an adult.

Does she not know burning weeds will easily lead to a fire

“Since weve been called here, there is no settling in private.

Im telling you directly that arson is a serious crime.

The severity of the punishment will be determined according to the damage caused by the fire.

“According to the countrys criminal law, the penalty for arson is as follows: anyone who endangers public safety through arson without causing serious consequences shall be sentenced to three to ten years of imprisonment.

“If the arson causes serious injury, death, or serious public or private property damage, the offender shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than ten years, life imprisonment, or death.

“If the crime of arson is committed by negligence, the offender shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years;

“If the damage is minor, the offender shall be sentenced to imprisonment not more than three years.”

The villagers were stunned.

They gasped, “Is it that serious”

Officer Li looked at Xiao Chengcai, then swept a glance at Zhang Xiaolan, who was so frightened that her entire body was about to go limp.

Her entire body was trembling.

Office Li said, “From the looks of it, this is an intentional arson.

Moreover, youve caused another party serious property losses.

You will be punished with imprisonment of more than three years.”

Zhang Xiaolan had just been helped up from the ground.

When she heard this, she fell with a thud.

She muttered, “I dont want to go to jail, I dont want to go to jail.

I… I didnt do it on purpose.

I didnt do it on purpose.”

Xiao Chengcai looked at her and was so angry that his entire face turned green.

His hands were clenched into fists.

He looked at Xiao Lingyu and said through gritted teeth, “Xiao Lingyu, are you really so heartless that you dont care about the camaraderie between neighbors and the villages reputation anymore”

Hearing this, Xiao Lingyus face darkened.

Then, she chuckled mirthlessly.

“Uncle Chengcai, are you seriously calling me heartless Why didnt you stop Auntie Zhang when she tried to set fire to my field then

“When Auntie Zhang committed arson, why didnt she think of the consequences She caused me to lose hundreds of thousands! Who is the heartless one

“She burned down my property, so why cant I call the police I am obliged to forgive you instead

“If you were me and someone set fire to your property and caused a huge loss, would you be willing to forgive the arsonist

“Besides, regardless of whether Auntie Zhang is intentional or not, it is a fact that she has committed a crime.

“This is no longer an issue of heartlessness or forgiveness.

If you want to beg for forgiveness, sure.

Ask these police officers.

See if theyre willing to forgive the criminal.”

Officer Li said, “As police officers, we will definitely not let any criminal go.

We will never condone any crime.”

“Uncle Chengcai, you heard that, right This is arson, a crime.

Its not a question of whether I forgive the culprit or not.

“Lets say I forgive the culprit, but what will that change The police will still take the culprit away.

Besides, why should I forgive someone who doesnt admit her mistakes, who doesnt apologize, and who keeps saying Im framing her”

Xiao Lingyu said with a sharp tone, “And to bring up the matters of the villages reputation… This is just an assumption.

Someone in our village committed a crime and we decided not to have her face the law Do you want the whole village to harbor a criminal

“In that case, we might as well start going around starting a fire to anyones house that we dont like.

After all, were going to protect arsonists anyway.

“Let the whole world burn.

After all, we have to forgive these arsonists because were from the same village, right”

Only Xiao Chengcai knew how to use the village reputation as leverage Hah!

“Then, I think we shouldnt be called Taoyuan Village but the Arsonists Village.

Well be so famous because of it.”

Xiao Lingyus words enlightened everyone present.

She was right.

Zhang Xiaolan set fire to things and caused Xiao Lingyu to lose hundreds of thousands.

It was impossible for news of such magnitude not to spread.

If the other villages found out that they had decided to forgive the criminal and harbor her, Taoyuan Villages reputation would go down the drain too.

Therefore, they had to make Zhang Xiaolan face the law to save the villages reputation.

When the villagers thought of this, they immediately rebuked Xiao Chengcai, “Xiao Chengcai, you make no sense! Youve burned down Lingyus strawberry field and caused her family to lose hundreds of thousands.

Now, you still want them to forgive your wife Are you crazy”

“Xiao Chengcai, does this mean that arson is a forgivable crime to you In that case, tomorrow, well send people over to burn your house down instead! Lets see if youll forgive them then!”
