Is human trafficking a serious crime?
No, it’s not big. The Zhou Dynasty practiced slavery, and some princes and nobles would have several slaves and dead men in their homes. In the Zhou Dynasty where slaves were prevalent, it can be said that this crime was trivial, and even once investigated and prosecuted, only a few silver taels were required.
You can just muddle through.
Why Lin Su said that Nangong Xu would not survive was because he was really stupid and ignored the special identities of several of these children and the current situation of the Zhou Dynasty.
Butler Wu felt that something was going wrong, so he glanced at Nangong Xu secretly. This guy couldn't have done anything secretly to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. The people from Liumen said that even Mr. Zhou Mu couldn't protect him. How serious is this matter?
degree?
This matter cannot be hidden and must be reported to the governor.
"My lord, my lord, it's not good."
In the study, Min Zong, who was writing a proclamation, slipped his hand and dragged a stroke from the upper left corner of the rice paper to the center. He put down the pen, crumpled it into a ball and threw it away. He said angrily: "What's the matter with you?"
Butler Wu trotted in a panic, stuttered under his feet, and lay down in front of Min Zongyi. Regardless of his rudeness, he said: "Sir, something bad has happened. Nangongxu was caught selling people to Liumen. This
I’ll be asking to see you in front of the Prefectural Shepherd’s Mansion later.”
Min Zong also frowned, "People from the Nangong family are troublesome."
The affairs of a big family are the most difficult to deal with. Just talk about this face. If you don't give it, it will be unfair. If you give it, you will inevitably be unfair. The people will inevitably file a lawsuit against you. Why can't the people of the big family go to jail when they commit crimes?
Qiuhou Wenzhan's Qiuhou Wenzhan?
Immediately, he said again: "Which county or city can't control the matter of human trafficking, why don't you come to Liangzhou City?"
Butler Wu said: "I told that person the same thing at first, but that person said that this matter is of great importance, and if the higher-ups come down with me, I won't be able to bear it."
Min Zong also paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, "Could it be that Nangong Xu has committed treason? He doesn't have the courage. In addition to human trafficking, what else has Nangong Xu committed? Can I ask clearly?"
Butler Wu shook his head, "Nangong Xu is also confused, but the man at Liumen said in a very strong tone. It seems to be ironclad evidence that he can kill Nangong Xu. It doesn't seem to be false."
"Let's go, don't keep people waiting."
Min Zong also recognized Lin Su's origins when he met him for the first time. He was the number one young man in Liangzhou, and even the governor of Liangzhou couldn't recognize him. He was really derelict in his duty, "It turned out to be Young Master Lin."
"Master Min." Lin Su saluted.
Min Zong also glanced at Nangong Xu, who had become more confident, and asked Lin Su: "I heard from the housekeeper that Lin Shaoxia has ironclad evidence of Nangongxu's human trafficking. I don't know what is called ironclad evidence..."
Lin Su said: "Isn't it irrefutable evidence that the Nangong family's caravan rescued twelve boys and girls?"
Min Zong was stunned. There was no doubt about it. But the result was far different from what he expected. Not to mention twelve slaves, even one hundred and twenty, it was not a big deal. Based on the testimony of these children, it was indeed possible.
If you convict Nangong Xu, you will be compensated at most a few hundred taels of silver, which will turn a big matter into a trivial matter.
"Come here, capture Nangong Xu and wait for him to be punished."
The soldiers gathered around, and Nangong Xutian smiled shamelessly, "Master Min, wait a moment. Nangong Xu pleads guilty. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, human trafficking is punishable by a fine. Each person must pay 13 taels of silver. Nangong Xu admits that there are 200 taels of silver here.
, I’ll use the extra silver to support these children.”
Min Zong also seemed to have known that Nangong Xu would say this, and sighed: "Now that Nangong Xu has pleaded guilty, the case is over."
Nangong Xu smiled sinisterly, "Are you satisfied with Mr. Lin's answer? No matter how cunning your methods are, you will only ask me to pay some silver. Why bother? A mere pariah has delayed my time for half a day. I don't know if you can keep watching.
I."
"You'll be fine with the compensation." Lin Su stared at Nangong Xu's joking smile and said lightly: "Now that the compensation is over, let's talk about another matter."
"Another thing?" Nangong Xuyun was in a fog. He had done a lot, but he really couldn't remember what else was in Lin Su's hands, so he said: "Master Lin, please don't accuse people unjustly."
, what other questions can I have.”
Min Zong didn't say anything, he was also confused.
Lin Su said: "Master Min, this matter is of great importance. You don't plan to discuss it here, do you?"
Min Zong also cupped his hands and said, "Everyone from the Six Gates, please come inside and talk."
Seeing this, Nangong Xu, who was confident and confident, suddenly felt a drum in his heart. Could it be that this kid really had something to grasp?
The main seat is Min Zongyi, the second seat is Lin Su, and in no particular order, Xu Jing, Lan Mengqing and Nangong Xu. Min Zong did not listen to Lin Su's words and took Nangong Xu to expand the government rashly, but treated it as
A simple exchange.
All the people in the caravan were detained. Although the mastermind of human trafficking was Nangong Xu, they were accomplices. Because the evidence was solid and no compensation was paid to the victims, they were all imprisoned.
Nangong Xu has a special status, and Min Zong cannot touch him easily, but no one among the caravan guards can find fault. Even if Nangong Xu is not guilty in the end, will he be accused of being dishonest by a few slave-like people?
"Young Master Lin, just say whatever you have to say, I am here to listen." Min Zongyi did a great job. He did not offend Nangong Xu in terms of behavior, and made friends with Lin Su in terms of language. He showed his talents as a politician to the fullest.
Lin Su nodded and said: "Lin has a different view on Nangong Xu forcing Liang into prostitution."
Hearing this, Nangong Xu laughed and said: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Min just said that the case has ended here. Don't you think that Mr. Min is handling the case unfairly? Or do you think that Mr. Min is not as good as you?"
Min Zong also said: "Lin Su, this case is over. The laws of Da Zhou have clear provisions. Do you have anything to add?"
Lin Su shook his head and said: "Lord Min's familiarity with the law is naturally inferior to that of Lin. Normal cases are handled this way without any omissions, but the adults never seem to pay attention to these children, such as their identities."
"Identity?" Min Zong was also puzzled. Do these children have a good background?
Nangong Xu suddenly came to his senses and heard Min Zong call out Lin Su's name. He remembered that the number one on the Tiger List was known as the number one young man in the world today. No wonder he killed Chao Wendao with just a few moves.
He looked at the child who did not dare to raise his head, and did not dare to be presumptuous anymore, so he said: "Mr. Lin, I think you misunderstood. I have investigated the backgrounds of these people clearly. They are not from rich and noble families. Their ancestors
There are no high-ranking officials, sir, he is just an orphan from the most ordinary people in Youzhou, so it is appropriate to compensate him with thirteen taels of silver."
"I'm not saying they are the children of high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen." Lin Su said.
Min Zong was also confused. He had mentioned their identities just now, so why did he change his story all of a sudden? If Nangong Xu had arrested the descendants of officials who had served in the imperial court, then the crime would indeed be serious.
Finally, they are even implicated, but what are their identities?
Lin Su looked at the calm Nangong Xu coldly and said: "Nangong Xu, do you think you have investigated everything? High-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen and people with a certain status have all been excluded, but you have calculated everything and still missed something.
Forget it."
