The reason is very simple. The so-called money and silk are attractive to people. As long as they are made once, they will be worthless. No wonder some people have such evil thoughts.
The number of brothels throughout the Ming Dynasty was so large that the skilled girls among them could not meet the demand simply by purchasing the families of convict officials from the government, and by the spontaneous visits of private women.
Therefore, the children robbed from wealthy and even high-ranking families in the hands of human traffickers are important resources that brothels and brothels in various places are willing to purchase at large prices.
After all, only powerful officials can marry beautiful women and give birth to more beautiful children.
As poor families struggle to make ends meet every day, their daughters may not catch the eye of traffickers.
In this era, most of the world's resources are in the hands of wealthy officials. Their descendants are naturally better than peasant children in terms of appearance. This is the precious resource that brothels and Chu houses need, and human traffickers can gain huge benefits.
Naturally, people are eager for this kind of beheading business.
Not only girls are popular, but boys are also very popular. The officials of the Ming Dynasty have been rich for a long time and have experienced all kinds of things. It is inevitable that some people especially like to play with ancient hot sausages. Therefore, although the number of male style parlors in various places is not as large as that of brothels,
But they are not in the minority either.
Because of this, once the government catches a trafficker, it will definitely be dealt with severely.
Although the contents of the case file were very simple, the facts of the case were clear at a glance. Feng Zhou did not notice the dark red light emerging from the case file and only nodded in agreement.
Wu Fan, the chief officer, was energetic and enthusiastic. It was a rare opportunity for him to have the opportunity to show off his abilities in front of Shangguan. Naturally, he worked very hard to explain each case file clearly and thoroughly. Once Feng Zhou showed his confusion,
I read it again and again for fear that my judgment would be wrong.
Although the Ming Dynasty often said that it would enlighten the world, it was in places like the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice that Feng Zhou understood more clearly how many shameful and bloody crimes were hidden under the warm and peaceful background of the Ming Dynasty. Those with a slightly worse character may have three views in Rushan.
crashed in the case file.
Robbery, rape of women, theft, fighting, fraud, and all kinds of other crimes are almost all there. What is simple and simple folk customs are pale and ridiculous nonsense in front of these case files.
Of course, the case files that can be delivered to the Ministry of Punishment by Shuntian Prefecture are basically major and important cases. Those with the lightest sentences are exiled thousands of miles away, and the death penalty is not uncommon.
Also, these case files have been accumulated by Shuntian Prefecture for half a year and need to be reviewed by the Ministry of Punishments and then resolved at once.
Because in the assessment of officials by the imperial court, there are relatively general requirements such as education. How should I put it, it depends on the reading examinations in various places, as well as the number of crimes. When important factors such as promotion assessment are involved, Shuntian Prefecture must
He also concealed the truth and even failed to solve some cases that revealed clues.
"The yamen are full of veterans. As long as the superiors don't urge them, they will just discover something. Unless there is something to gain, they will just ignore it!"
The person in charge, Wu Fan, was very serious. While handling the case files, he introduced the secrets to Feng Zhou.
"Why, doesn't the Yamen have any incentives?"
Feng Zhou was a little strange. After Wu Fan handled a case file in which a fight caused heavy casualties, he curiously asked: "The superiors want to suppress the case, but even if the subordinates solve the case, won't they still get the credit?"
"This matter depends on how important the case is, and whether the court and the Ministry of Justice give it special attention!"
Wu Fan, the supervisor, smiled bitterly: "The yamen is also seriously short of manpower. In addition, official assessment matters, based on the principle of doing more is worse than doing less, as long as the case is not too lucrative, it will usually be delayed for a while!"
Feng Zhou sighed and just shook his head without saying anything.
To experience the mortal world is to experience the state of mind!
All kinds of right and wrong in the world and the darkness of the government can stabilize Feng Zhou's state of mind.
In comparison, what are the fairy wines, singing and dancing in the fairyland? What can be learned after thousands of years in the cave?
The Shuntian Prefecture Yamen is like this. It is far away from the local officials in Kyoto and under the eyes of the imperial court. I am afraid that the situation will be even worse. However, the Yamen has formed certain rules, and it is not that simple to break them.
The person in charge, Wu Fan, is quite capable. He is in his forties and his knowledge and experience are extraordinary. He can basically figure out the context of many things just by looking at them at a glance. He is a good deputy candidate.
Moreover, this guy has been in the Ministry of Punishment for more than twenty years and is extremely familiar with all the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment. He is also familiar with some matters in Shuntian Prefecture and various yamen. Of course, this is only true in the area of punishment and prison.
I have seen many cases, so I naturally have my own unique way of looking at things. Although I cannot be 100% sure, there is still no problem if I am 70% or 80% sure.
"Hehe, Sir, you see this case of Zhang San's cattle stealing is quite fishy. How can a small sharecropper be so bold as to steal the owner's cattle?"
Wu Fan pointed at a case file that shimmered dark red in Feng Zhou's eyes and said with a smile: "All the tenant farmers in the suburbs are honest and honest. I'm afraid they won't have anywhere to sell their cattle even if they steal them!"
As he spoke, he shook his head and sneered: "There is a secret here. This tenant farmer named Zhang San must have been wronged. Either the owner framed him, or someone else tricked him!"
Feng Zhou nodded. The faint red light on the case file was already quite obvious. Coupled with Wu Fan's guidance, there were really many details to dig out.
Otherwise, just by relying on a few simple descriptions of "Zhang San stole cattle in the red clay village in the suburbs and was reported by his owner", we may not be able to detect the problem.
"How should we deal with this matter?" Now that he had seen the problem, he thought that the Ministry of Punishment had its own way of handling it. Feng Zhou was not filled with righteous indignation. He felt that the world was unfair and he must reverse the case for the tenant farmer named Zhang San.
"This is a decision that cannot be made by a lower-ranking official. It is up to the Minister to handle it!"
Sure enough, Wu Fan smiled lightly and disagreed. He just made a small mark with a brush dipped in ink on an inconspicuous place in this case file, and then placed it among the processed case files and continued to browse the next one.
The world has forced good people to be like this.
…
Li Chishui looked at He Hu who had just stood up against the root of the tree in the distance, and said with a smile: "Master He, can my flying rocks penetrate your eyes?"
He Hu was shocked and angry, and said loudly: "The technique of exerting force and the movement of internal force are unbelievable, but the force is too small to hurt anyone!"
Being forced into this situation by Li Chishui was a shame that He Hu had never experienced in his life, but it was also an unprecedented risk.
What was even more frightening was that the flying stone flew up from the ground when Li Chishui pointed it at him, and chased him without letting go. No matter where he tried to avoid it, it was of no avail.
Could it be that this is the long-lost skill of "Capturing a Dragon and Controlling a Crane"?
As a thief in Helan Mountain, He Hu had fought with countless masters in his life. He had won some, lost some, escaped death, knelt down to beg for mercy, and was captured in one move. But before that, he had never thought that one day, he would be killed by a man.
The young man's flying stones have forced him to this point.
He Hu was so majestic in Helan Mountain that the merchants, swordsmen, and even enemies along the way all bowed their hands in salute when they met him. Even Qiu Moyan, a great master in the world of martial arts, never lost respect when facing him.
But today, Li Chishui just pointed his finger and launched a flying stone, which forced him to dodge desperately and almost killed him on the spot.
As the thief of Helan Mountain, He Hu is also a well-known master in the world, and is even more famous in the underworld. He has great skills and courage, and has long ignored matters of life and death.
Now that Li Chishui had taken action against him, how could He Hu endure it? Although he was shocked by Li Chishui's abilities, He Hu would not say anything nice when Li Chishui asked him, and dismissed Li Chishui's flying stone magic as useless.
"It turns out there are quite a few doorways inside this hidden weapon."
Hearing that He Hu had belittled his flying stones as worthless, Li Chishui was not angry and said with a smile: "I only learned this trick for half a year, and I joined the Xiandu Sect for only three to five months. I didn't concentrate on practicing this trick."
If I had spent several months practicing this move, you would have nowhere to dodge..."
