Based on the information provided by Winnie and the permit certificate he received, Owen judged that the group of bad guys who captured Winnie wanted to send her to Yiguan.

Since Duke Eddie's treasures were almost finished moving and time was running out, Irving immediately ordered a group of soldiers to attack Yiguan.

When Owen and his party came over, Yiguan had already been controlled by soldiers.

Seeing the lord coming, the captain of this team hurriedly stepped forward and reported: "Lord, we caught the leader here, and found that there was a private dungeon below with many women imprisoned in it. According to their confession, all

People are forced to be locked up here."

"very good."

No one was injured in this operation, it was very fast and perfect, and Owen nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he turned to Mapel and said, "Mapel, the women imprisoned in the dungeon will be left to you to deal with."

"no problem."

"Come here, show the way to Miss Knight Jarvis." The captain called a soldier.

Mapel and other women followed the soldier to the dungeon, while Owen asked the captain: "Where is the leader?"

"In the room inside, please follow me, Lord."

Most of the arrested people were rushed to the hall on the first floor and gathered together for guarding. The leader was tied up alone and locked in a room.

Under the leadership of the captain, Owen entered the room and saw the bald man as the leader. He was sitting on a chair with his hands and feet tied up. There were two soldiers behind him to guard him.

Seeing Owen, the bald man was the first to ask: "Are you Marquis Aisen, our new lord?"

"Yes, that's me." Owen responded.

"Lord, I wonder what crime I committed to be treated like this?" The bald man cautiously questioned, "Many of my men were killed by your soldiers."

"Your men must have hindered the soldiers from performing their tasks and used force to resist before they were killed. If they had cooperated honestly, they would not have suffered such an end. As for what crime you committed?"

Owen put on a solemn expression and said coldly: "You have committed the crime of forcing women into prostitution."

Hearing this, the bald man looked stunned. What kind of crime is this? I have never heard of it at all?

"Well...there is no such crime in the laws of the Kingdom."

The Kingdom of Dawn has a set of laws that are common across the country, but this set of laws is very general and treats commoners and nobles differently.

For the same crime, civilians may lose their hands and feet, but nobles can pay compensation.

This unfair legal provision is something Irving plans to correct in the future.

"It's true not, but I just issued a decree this morning to add this crime." Irving said.

What?! The bald man was shocked. The decree was promulgated just this morning and troops were immediately sent to investigate Yi Guan. It was obviously aimed at him.

For this reason, he could only argue: "Lord, the laws of the kingdom do not prohibit forced prostitution of slaves."

"But it's not allowed."

"But, but..." The bald man wanted to say something else.

"Stop being a naysayer." Owen interrupted, "I am a lord and have the right to interpret the laws of the kingdom. If I say prohibition, it is a prohibition."

There are many provisions in the kingdom's laws that are not clearly explained, so additional supplementary explanations are needed from local lords.

Generally speaking, you can explain it however it is beneficial to you.

The power to interpret the law was firmly in the hands of the lords, which greatly consolidated the interests of the ruling class.

Although it was an unreasonable place, Owen was determined to get rid of Yiguan before leaving, so he took advantage of it without mercy.

"this……"

The bald man was sweating coldly. He knew that the other party just wanted to eradicate Yi Guan, and nothing he said was of any use.

"What will be my punishment?"

"Because you are the leader, you will be sent to work in the mining area until you die."

Owen decided to take all the people captured in Yiguan back to Border Guard Town. Everyone except the leader was sent to the mining area to work for a few years and undergo labor reform.

After announcing the leader's punishment, Owen ignored him and left the room to go to the dungeon.

The dungeon space below Yiguan is very large, larger than the dungeon of the Lord's Castle. In addition to cells, there are also many special-purpose rooms.

There, Owen listened to Mapel's report.

There are as many as 123 women imprisoned, the majority of whom are human women. The youngest is only six years old, and they are 100% provided to guys with a copper smelting habit.

These underage girls were all sold by their parents or other guardians.

There are exactly twenty female demi-humans, and their races include cat people, werewolves, and bunny people, all of which are demi-human races in the Laura Forest.

According to Winster, these female demi-humans are called beast-eared girls.

Even Owen had to admit that it looked very cute with human appearance, animal ears and tail, and he couldn't help but take a bite.

But this is not the reason why humans wantonly capture Asian women and sell them to nobles and businessmen.

Gathering together adult human women, Owen asked them to make their own choices.

If you have somewhere to go or want to find a new place to stay outside, you can receive a considerable amount of travel expenses and leave on your own.

You can also choose to go to Bianzhu Town, where they will provide you with accommodation and arrange a job so that you can spend the rest of your life safely.

In the end, half of the women chose to leave, and the other half wanted to go to Border Guard Town.

When Mapel distributed travel expenses to the women who chose to leave, Owen asked the group of female demi-humans if they wanted to return to the Laura Forest.

As a result, they sadly said that the village had been burned down by human bandits and there would be nothing left when they returned.

In this case, Owen can only invite them to Border Guard Town and explain that the people there can accept the demihuman race.

All twenty Asian women agreed.

To be honest, letting them work as maids in the lord's castle is also a good choice.

As for the underage girls, Owen will arrange for them to go to an orphanage in Bianzhu Town and attend school.

The guardians have sold them, and they certainly cannot be sent back.

Before returning to the castle, Owen did not forget to search the Yiguan and confiscated all his property.

Located on the outskirts of the country, Yiguan is a place used to imprison, train and sell women, and is only open to wealthy nobles and businessmen.

There is also a building called the Red Hall in Dongsheng Fortress, which is a place where women openly sell their skin and flesh, and is open to everyone.

It is said that Yiguan and the Hong Kong Coliseum are connected in private, and women who have been trained by Yiguan will be sent to the Hong Kong Coliseum to work.

However, there are also women in the red hall who voluntarily sell their bodies in exchange for payment.

In fact, when Owen sent soldiers to raid the Yi Pavilion, he also asked Viscount Jarvis to take some soldiers to investigate the Red Pavilion.

A group of people suddenly broke in and scared away many guests.

Viscount Jarvis asked if there was anyone here who was forced to work here. If so, please come forward and the lord will protect them from harm.

As a result, no one dared to stand up and answer, and I don’t know if it was the women sent by Yiguan who didn’t dare to speak out.

In desperation, Viscount Jarvis had no choice but to withdraw from the Coliseum.
