Chapter 464: Rage

"I have recently discovered that there are still many imperfections in the laws of Xiqi that need improvement. Each of the three of you will draft a statement. You can write down any suggestions on legislative changes." Chu Qinghuang said lightly, "Focus on the crime of privately buying and selling people. From now on, whenever there is a crime of selling wives, daughters, or sons to pay off debts, except for those who have committed major crimes and are consigned to a lowly status, at any other time, a woman will be forcibly sent to a brothel regardless of her will. Those who stick to the fence will also be punished."

"yes."

"Trading people is just one of them. Taking advantage of this revision of the law, you can think more about what else needs to be improved. Tomorrow morning, you can discuss this matter with the ministers."

Chu Xuance and the other two agreed.

Chu Qinghuang looked at Wen Zhan and asked calmly: "Wen Li seems to have something to do with this case. Have you noticed anything unusual during this time?"

"I only know that he often frequents brothels and casinos. He was a famous dandy in the past. During this time, he has become more and more serious." Wen Zhan frowned and lowered his head and said, "I originally thought that it was just because his father was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue that he let him With more indulgent capital, I didn't think of anything else. Please forgive me for any oversight."

In fact, he really didn't think much about it, because Wen Li has always liked to hang out with his friends in shopping malls and casinos instead of doing his job. He used to like to suppress bastards and take pleasure in bullying Wen Zhan.

However, since Wen Li suffered a loss in front of Chu Qinghuang, his behavior has been restrained. Now that Wen Zhan has become a minister in front of Her Majesty the Queen, he naturally does not dare to be too presumptuous, so he often goes out and sets foot on fireworks almost every night. land.

For such a playboy, who would have thought that he would secretly conspire with Chu Tianyin to murder a young girl?

"You will be responsible for the interrogation of Wen Li." Chu Qinghuang said, "I want to know the result tomorrow morning."

"yes."

"It's getting late, you go back first." Chu Qinghuang explained, "When Wen Zhan interrogates Wen Li, you two should use your brains more."

"yes."

Time flies when people get busy. After the three people left, Chu Qinghuang stood alone in the imperial study room for a while.

What happened tonight made her feel extremely bad.

It's not certain whether Chu Tianyin's conspiracy can be implemented smoothly, but if someone hadn't tipped it off to the Minister of Dali Temple, these little girls would have been killed.

Just one step too late and more than thirty little girls would have been ruined.

As the night grew darker outside, Chu Qinghuang returned to Changming Palace and sat alone on the brocade couch, meditating. Not long after, Fucang brought the Madam of Hongyue Tower over.

The dead of night is when the brothels and brothels are bustling with business, but tonight the Jinjun Prince's Mansion was investigated, probably all the brothels in the imperial city were shocked.

The land of three religions and nine streams has always been a mixed bag, and there are many eyes and ears, so gossip spreads quickly, especially since the affairs of Jinjun Prince's Mansion also involve Hongyue Tower. When Fucang went to fetch someone, the madam was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.

When he entered the palace and saw Her Majesty the Queen, his face turned pale and his whole body was shaking with fear.

Chu Qinghuang waved her hand: "Gag her mouth and give her fifty lashes to loosen her skin."

The Madam's face turned pale, and before she could say anything, the guards gagged her and dragged her out.

Fucang stood in front of the couch and looked at Chu Qinghuang. Sensitively aware that she was in a bad mood, he silently knelt down in front of the couch and said, "Ange has neglected his duties. I will not be able to escape the responsibility of my subordinates. Master, please punish me."

Chu Qinghuang leaned on the brocade couch and said with a hint of weariness in his voice: "It's not your fault, I also neglected my duty."

Fu Cang pursed his lips, his heart filled with self-blame.

He still didn't do well enough. If he could be more thoughtful and powerful, the master wouldn't be angry because of these things.

"When we have time another day, let's discuss the manpower arrangement of the Dark Pavilion, system improvements, and the cruel training methods that also need to be improved." Chu Qinghuang said lightly, "Although those in power have never regarded shadow guards and dead soldiers as human beings, Look, most of them just regard them as a handy tool, but they are human beings, and many years of training require a lot of manpower and financial resources. They cannot belittle one life at will, and they must minimize the loss of a small number of people. "

Fu Cang nodded: "Yes."

"The person who reported the secret to the Minister of Dali Temple this time has great achievements. Once found out, I will definitely reward you heavily."

"My subordinates will go check it out right now."

"There's no rush." ​​Chu Qinghuang stopped him, "It's not too late to check again tomorrow."

After all, Chu Tianyin has been arrested. No matter who the person who reported the secret is, there is no danger of being silenced for the time being.

"yes."

The sound of whipping outside stopped, and after a while, the guard said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the fifty lashes have been completed."

Chu Qinghuang stood up and walked out, standing at the door of the palace, watching the old bustard being kneeled on the bluestone under the light, his voice extremely cold: "The thirty-three girls brought out from the dungeon of Jinjun Prince's Mansion today are all from Hongyue Tower?”

The old bustard was so frightened after being beaten that he knelt on the ground and trembled: "Yes, yes...but these are not my ideas. It was Prince Jin who threatened me. Please be aware of it, please be aware of it!"

Chu Qinghuang's voice was cold: "Tell me everything about King Jin's plan, and I will spare your life."
