such as Yue Linyuan

A few days later, another appalling murder occurred in the capital.

At a wedding ceremony, the bride in a red wedding gown held a sharp knife and killed the groom. She first stabbed the groom and his parents to death. The guests who came to the wedding ran away in fright. Covered in blood, he chased the guests and continued to stab them, and was finally subdued by the officers and soldiers who rushed to him on the street.

The magistrate's yamen doesn't know if it's a bad year. There was a case of Fang Zhili before, and now there is such a bloody wedding ceremony. There are nearly fifty casualties. When the bride was subdued, her red wedding dress was covered with blood. It was dyed deep red, and the almost crazy blood-stained face was ferocious.

How will this case be tried?The father of the groom who was stabbed to death was a well-known money owner in the capital, while the bride was the eldest daughter of a wine owner. So become an enemy.

On the second day after the bride was arrested, the Yamen went up to the court to hear the case. The relatives of the innocent victim rushed forward and beat the handcuffed bride in tears, asking her why she had no injustice or hatred. Kill the innocent.

The bride who spent the night in the prison no longer had the madness she had when she killed someone. She let her relatives beat and scold her coldly. The indifference in her eyes made people shudder. She sneered and said, "They persecuted me. When I was a mother, I never asked her if she was innocent."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Fu Yin hurriedly took the case to make Jing Jing, but heard the bride say: "I want to see Prince An, otherwise I won't say anything."

"Ridiculous! How can you see Prince An as soon as you say you see him?!" Fu Yin was furious, and ordered to be punished with a cane. However, the bride was just like what she said, and no matter what punishment the Fu Yin gave, she never spoke again. words.

Soon, the case and everything that happened during his promotion spread throughout the capital, and naturally reached the ears of Prince An, Chu Yuezhi.

After Prince An Chu Yuezhi learned of this, he went to the magistrate's yamen, and went to visit the imprisoned bride in prison, and asked her what she meant when she was promoted.

After a few days of hard work, the bride finally saw Prince An, knelt down and kowtowed, and confessed everything, saying that although she was the daughter of the main wife of the owner of the winery, her real mother was actually bought by the father of the main wife. Born to a woman, the principal wife suffered from chronic illness and was unable to bear children. In order to keep the position of principal house, the old father-in-law decided to buy back a woman as a surrogate; for many years her biological mother was locked in a secret room in the mansion and repeatedly raped by her father. She gave birth to three sons and two daughters, the son inherited the incense, and the daughter tacitly used it for future marriage and relationship. Being humiliated by her father in public, her biological mother gradually became insane after being ravaged unbearably. After witnessing everything, although she felt hatred in her heart, she was powerless. Now, she was sold by her father as goods to the money owner. The son of the money owner is an idiot. How could there be a good life in the past; she had accepted her fate, but not long before she got married, because the winery lost too much money, it was not enough to sell her to the owner of the money, so her father simply sold her sister to the owner of the winery. In order to make up for the deficit; in order to expose the ugly crimes of these years to the world, she had no choice but to commit this heinous crime, and the guests at the wedding ceremony were not all innocent people. The guests invited to the wedding ceremony include not only the two relatives, but also many merchants who have business dealings with the two. These people either knew about the purchase of the girl or they did the same thing themselves. If Prince An doesn't believe it, You can check it out.

Prince An, Chu Yuezhi, was furious after hearing the bride's confession, and because of this case, the Jiaofang Division was involved. The prince immediately took people to Dongchang, bluntly said that the admiral of Dongchang was ineffective, and demanded a thorough investigation of the case.

It is said that on the day that Prince An Chu Yuezhi went to Dongchang, he loudly scolded the admiral of Dongchang in front of the gate of Dongchang, which made his complexion very ugly.Reminiscent of the fact that Dongchang had previously regarded Prince An as a suspect for offending Prince An because of the case of Fang Zhili. Such negligence in the case, I am afraid that Prince An may not let it go easily.

Also, the emperor Chu Yuelei had not been in court for many days due to his poor health, and all affairs were handled by the palm seal eunuch and Dongchang admiral company.

Dongchang Stone Interior.

On the bed with the curtains down, a person could be vaguely seen crouching in it. The soft quilt covered him tightly from the waist down, but the smooth back was not covered, and the white shoulders and neck were covered with bruises and tooth marks. , although there are no tooth marks in the ink tattoo on the back, but there are obvious fingerprints and pinch marks on the psoas muscles on both sides that are not covered by the ink.

The door of the stone room was opened, Si Yuanting walked in and went straight to the bed, opened the curtain and sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to brush away the messy long black hair covering his peaceful sleeping face.

The closed eyelids trembled slightly, Chu Yuezhi opened them, took a moment to wake up, and then looked at Si Yuanting stretching out his hand towards him.

He naturally caught Chu Yuezhi's hand, leaned over and half embraced him, then put his hand into the bedding, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Well, it's all right." Chu Yuezhi, who had just woken up, said hoarsely, with a hint of laziness, "There is no bleeding this time, so you don't have to worry."

Yesterday, the two performed a play together in front of the gate of Dongchang. In front of them, Prince An questioned him loudly and didn't give Sidu any face. Unscrupulously taking face back from Chu Yuezhi.Chu Yuezhi has been taking care of it for the past few days, and the place behind him has been taken care of, so last night he was bullied by Si Yuanting again.

The utensils used last night were still on the small shelf by the bed, Chu Yuezhi glanced at them, turned his face away again, and said, "How could you, how could you put that thing in and not take it out last night? Just, just..." He couldn't continue, last night was so ridiculous, he wanted to fuck just thinking about it.

"Aren't you feeling well?" Si Yuanting put the nursing plaster on his back in the morning, and now he confirmed with his hands that the medicine was effective and the swelling had started to subside, so he withdrew his hand, and continued to tease Chu Yue. Zhi: "I see you are very useful, then..."

"Don't..." Chu Yuezhi hurriedly interrupted him, afraid that he would bring up his stupidity again, "Don't say it, you, you just know it in your heart, and it's obviously you, you like it better."

Si Yuanting has always liked Chu Yuezhi's shyness afterwards. The more restrained he was towards Chu Yuezhi on weekdays, the more presumptuous he became in private. He knew that Chu Yuezhi would only show such a gesture in front of him, so naturally he would not let Chu Yuezhi go Taking the opportunity to be ashamed, he deliberately said: "But how do I remember, when I was in a trance last night, someone told me that the feeling was stronger when the bell was in my possession, and he also liked it when I hugged him like this?"

Chu Yuezhi couldn't answer at all. In matters of love, he was free to let Si Yuanting act recklessly on him. Even if Si Yuanting was uncontrollably extraordinarily rough, he would completely accept it, but this verbal looseness, he It's really a bit unbearable, if he was fascinated and talked nonsense when he was happy, it would be fine, but afterwards he was really ashamed to speak, and always made Si Yuanting say a few words, so that he wished to kill himself at that time with a sword.

Wiping his hands with a handkerchief, Si Yuanting caressed Chu Yuezhi's face, and said with a smile: "When I was young, I was not ashamed when I said I wanted to marry, but now I feel ashamed."

Chu Yuezhi glared at him, and said, "Si Jiu will make fun of Chu Qi now." He was tossed all night, and everyone fell apart, and he was molested endlessly.

"Are you hungry? I'll send someone to deliver food." Si Yuanting picked up the middle coat on the side and put it on for Chu Yuezhi, and said, "I'm going to enter the palace later, so I'll take you home first."

"No, I'll go back to the mansion for dinner. Did Chu Yuelei call you into the palace?" Chu Yuezhi, who used to be wounded on the battlefield and wouldn't let anyone close to him, now lazily leaned against Si Yuanting, Let him fiddle with dressing himself, if this matter gets out, I don't know how many people's jaws will be shocked.

"Last night, Chu Yuelei was very angry when several palace people were disposed of in the palace. The day of his extermination must not be far away. If I go into the palace to report to him about the death of the eunuch, he will probably come back again. Get angry, I may not go out of the palace tonight, so don't wait for me at the mansion." Si Yuanting was very skillful in dressing Chu Yuezhi, but when he was about to kneel down and put on shoes for Chu Yuezhi, he Prevent.

After leaning over to put on the boots, Chu Yue stood up and said to Si Yuanting, "Don't kneel to me in the future."

Si Yuanting hooked his lips, took the prince's robe and put it on for Chu Yuezhi, and when he lowered his head to help him tie the girdle, he said, "You don't count kneeling when you put on your shoes. I did it."

"You're talking like I'm your child bride." Chu Yuezhi didn't know why he had such a strange idea, his eyes fell on the jade pendant around Si Yuanting's waist, and said: "Don't wear this jade pendant Okay?" Although Si Yuanting put the jade pendant back into pieces that was broken that day, he always felt unlucky when he saw it.

"You gave it to me, and this is the only token in my hand." Si Yuanting straightened his robes for him, pulled him to sit in front of the case, and turned behind him to tie his hair.

"I'm all yours now..." Chu Yuezhi didn't have anything to give Si Yuanting as a token for a while. He didn't want to touch the things that his father gave him. After returning from the frontier, Chu Yuelei gave them He would not even give it to Si Yuanting as a reward, but now he really has nothing to lose, and he doesn't even have a token that can be handed out.

"Then you will protect my Chu Qi well, and don't let my Chu Qi be like this jade pendant." Si Yuanting tied up his hair for him, then leaned in front of the case, and said, "Whatever you say will only leave a little trace. , you are clearly coming forward directly, and everyone is aware of the trouble. Zhuxi asked you to investigate this case?"

Chu Yuezhi did not deny it, and explained: "Well, Zhuxi is in charge of the Jiaofang Division, but found that the new geisha and the previous sisters have problems with their household registration. You have a heavy workload, and she doesn't want to add you. The household registration is under the control of the Ministry of Households, and the Jiaofang Division under the management of the Ministry of Rites can cover up the problems with the household registration, which shows that there is handwriting from the Ministry of Households. I let people follow this line After checking the line, we found out this heaven-defying crime."

Human trafficking, especially for women.

The Department of Jiaofang belongs to the Ministry of Rites. If there is a problem with the household registration, the Ministry of Rites will go to the Ministry of Accounts to deal with it. When the Ministry of Accounts handles it, it finds that there are still bigger problems. In the capital, there are many cases of unknown household registration. According to regulations, this should be reported. However, once it is reported to the household department, it will inevitably be punished by negligence. After careful consideration, it is found that it is profitable. , secretly said that as long as enough money is given, the Ministry of Households will legalize the household registration, and those buyers who pay to buy people go down to brothels, wealthy businessmen and government officials, so not only the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households colluded , Even merchants have formed a trend of collusion between officials and businessmen with the Ministry of Households.

Not only did the government fail to punish the evil phenomenon of human trafficking, but even indulged in it, which eventually led to this criminal business becoming more and more rampant. From small places, all the way to various provinces, they were sold into brothels, wealthy merchants, and government officials according to their appearance. The Jiaofang Division under the Ministry of Rites has been involved, and the real source of human trafficking has not been found out. However, due to the leadership of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, more and more women are being trafficked, but their families have nowhere to turn.

What a horrible thing that the imperial court ordered officials to become criminals.

The common people seem to live in the invisible darkness, thinking that their lives are stable, but they don't know that bad luck may come to them one day, and their resistance is so weak and tiny that they are swallowed by the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"This case involves a lot of people. Only I, the prince, can stand the pressure. The officials involved in the case don't dare to touch me, but they will definitely try to get rid of themselves. Not only will this case become big, but it can't be delayed. I don't care How is Yue Lei's health? He is castrated and has only half his life left. He also has to go to court in the morning. I will fight for the case with you in the court. This case must be taken by me. And you will help me from the side." Chu Yuezhi's face was solemn, and after Si Zhuxi told him that the geisha of the Jiaofang Division not only had the wives and daughters of criminal ministers, but also young girls of unknown origin, he immediately sent someone to investigate When he found out that this was human trafficking from top to bottom, he was really furious. He couldn't believe that such an ugly crime happened in Daheng's country.

It is said that there is no king's land in the whole world, but above this king's land, there is no king's law.

Si Yuanting pondered, he understood what Chu Yuezhi meant, and he also knew that what Chu Yuezhi said was not wrong, the case could only be investigated if Chu Yuezhi came forward, and dared to investigate.

"Then according to what you said, don't worry, I will definitely let Chu Yuelei go to the morning court and hand over the case to you to supervise." In response to Chu Yuezhi, Si Yuanting took his hand and said: "Let Si Nine, look at what Chu Qi looks like when he is serious in the hall."

Chu Yuezhi looked up at him, his serious expression remained on his face, his brows and eyes were even more clear and cold, not as heartless as they seemed before, and he said softly: "Naturally, it's the face that Si Jiu likes."
