The young prince met Fang Ruotang's gaze, looking somewhat embarrassed.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
It's even more impossible for the imperial court to issue a direct order to ban it. Not to mention that the people behind these casinos want to make money, the gamblers themselves would not agree to it.
If you shut down this casino, another one will appear.
Like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, they keep sprouting and growing.
"I will tell the Crown Prince about this and have him order a rectification."
"All right!"
The Crown Prince is far more capable than the Little Prince.
Fang Ruotang muttered to herself.
If the Crown Prince were here, seeing that she was unhappy, he would definitely shut down the casino immediately.
The young prince felt wronged and distressed.
This is the first time I've ever complained so much about the late emperor. Why did he have to be adopted out?
Tsk!
Never mind, when the late emperor died, he was still a baby. Even as a prince, he couldn't beat the crown prince, who had already gained the support of the court officials and is now His Majesty.
Compared to the young prince's grievances, Brother Qiang was almost in tears.
The Buddha statue was about to leave happily when someone came looking for trouble.
Does he want to die?
No, this person clearly intends to kill him!
But he didn't dare utter a single word of excuse. Gamblers who are blinded by greed, how can they not end up with their families ruined?
He can only humbly hope that he can get through this ordeal safely.
"I don't want to see this person again."
Fang Ruotang settled for second best.
The young prince immediately summoned his guards, who then took the man away.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
The man's expression changed drastically, and he roared.
The guard knocked the man unconscious with a single chop to the neck.
"Investigate," the young prince simply ordered.
To take someone's life in public, one must always have a just cause.
This kind of person cannot withstand scrutiny.
"Let's go to the brothel and take a look," Fang Ruotang thought. Since they had run into it, they should rescue the man's wife and daughter.
"No, I'll send someone to redeem them, so you don't need to go yourself."
Fang Ruotang pouted, "If you men can go there, why can't I?"
"That filth and debauchery will only taint your eyes."
"Haven't you been to all of them?"
"I don't!"
"That's a lie."
He lied to me.
【No! You two aren't talking about the same place. The young prince frequents high-class brothels, where many of the women are virgins who perform but don't sell their bodies. But this man's wife and daughters were sold to a brothel. Don't go there.】
What are the differences?
Brothels were frequented by high-ranking officials and nobles, who at least maintained a respectable public image. Prostitutes, on the other hand, were considered low-class establishments; for a fee, even dogs could be sold, and they were cheap.
Fang Ruotang frowned, looking uncomfortable.
She then looked at the young prince.
"Can brothels be shut down?"
She wouldn't have known if she didn't, but now that she knows most of those women were sold into slavery and suffered without their own control, she can't help but feel pity for them.
After all, she could save their lives with just one sentence.
"Can!"
This time, the young prince dared not suggest that the crown prince handle the matter.
After all, it created a stereotype in Fang Ruotang, so he won't even have a place to cry in the future.
Moreover, upon investigation, none of these brothels were found to be clean.
The young prince never expected that his competitive spirit would ruin his planned romantic getaway for the two of them.
Just like the captain of the inspection team, Fang Ruotang urged him to investigate and rescue those girls.
In one day, they raided five illegal brothels.
It's not that there were only five companies in Beijing, but rather that there wasn't enough time; they could only inspect five.
Looking at the more than one hundred women she had rescued, Fang Ruotang saw for the first time women living at the bottom of society so directly.
Because of their poor background, many of these women even contracted venereal diseases and were not long for life.
Moreover, each of them had a tragic story, which, to her, was the most tragic thing about these girls' experiences and daily lives.
Why are women so marginalized? Why can their fathers and brothers buy and sell them at will?
That's just how patriarchal societies are.
Fang Ruotang pursed her lips, feeling that something was wrong with what she said.
This is not fair.
[You have done very well. Because the Tianyi Sect has taken in many female disciples, the status of women has improved significantly. This time, the Crown Prince listened to your advice and allowed women to participate in the imperial examinations and enter officialdom. In the future, more women will rise to high positions, speaking out for ordinary women and raising their status, just like what you are doing now.]
"Okay!" Fang Ruotang was still somewhat unhappy.
This is actually the changed situation.
Change doesn't happen overnight.
That's true. As long as there's change, it doesn't matter if the pace is slow.
Fang Ruotang was easily persuaded.
The main reason is that she understands in her heart that she cannot control the thoughts of certain people.
However, once spiritual energy recovers, the patriarchal mindset will gradually change, and strength will become the ultimate value in the future.
At that time, talent will be the most important factor, which will create another kind of hierarchy of contempt.
It seems impossible to completely prevent this kind of thing.
"Crown Prince Brother".
Fang Ruotang had someone inform the Crown Prince, and the young prince was jealous and dissatisfied.
He muttered to himself, "I can also help you solve these women's problems."
"But you're leaving tomorrow, so let your elder brother, the Crown Prince, handle the rest!"
Before the Crown Prince arrived, he had already heard about Fang Ruotang's remarkable feat that day.
He neither confirmed nor denied this.
But he would support Fang Ruotang in whatever she wanted to do.
Do you have any thoughts?
