Chapter 549: Still Cute

A few months later.

Yuanruan first spent his savings for the temporary national destiny, and with the help of the system, he got the detailed address of the abducted child.

The emperor dispatched the Imperial Guard to various counties in Daxia, where they successfully captured both parties involved in the sale of the child and brought them to the cities of various counties for public trial.

Some unwitting buyers were eventually sentenced to pay a large sum of ransom and their entire family was beaten with thirty sticks.

Some informed buyers who are good to the children and have the understanding of the children's parents.

They were eventually sentenced to have their faces tattooed, and their entire family was forced to do forced labor for three years, and they also had to pay a large ransom. Otherwise, after three years, the entire family would be exiled to a place 3,000 miles away.

For various reasons, if the buyer cannot get the forgiveness of the child's biological parents, he will be guilty of the same crime as the seller, and his family members will also be exiled for three thousand miles.

As for the crimes of the human traffickers: all shall be put to death with a flourish.

At the same time, the emperor issued three official announcements, repeatedly emphasizing the following:

1. Human traffickers will be severely punished! The whole family will be held jointly responsible for the crime! Reporting the crime will exempt one level of punishment! Kidnapping between relatives will receive double the punishment. For example, if parents or grandparents sell their children or grandchildren, these people will be punished even more severely.

2. Any official who dares to turn a blind eye to the crime of human trafficking will be implicated and will be severely punished by the imperial court.

3. Report a person as a trafficker and receive 1 gold.

…

As soon as these three notices were released.

Especially after knowing that the merchants dared to use the "national teacher" to traffic in human beings.

The whole country was in uproar.

People who already hated human traffickers and the blind worshippers of the national teacher rushed to the front line of the fight against human trafficking.

When they see a child with a strange expression or crying on the street, they will rush up to ask the child or adult about their family, parents, and address.

As long as there is any discrepancy between the two, they will be taken directly to the government for trial.

The government was afraid of being implicated if they missed a case, so when faced with such civil disputes, they would take them in for investigation without any hesitation.

Although there were many funny family "injustices" during this period, such as a teenager who was unwilling to go to school, he pretended to be kidnapped and ran to the government, but was finally taken away by his own mother by the ear.

But most of the results were good.

Just look at how many families happily brought their children home and how many adults cried and were beheaded at noon in the city. This is enough to show that the victory was fruitful.

Kunning Palace

Yuanruan was eating the fried chicken made by the chef.

Flour crumbs fell all over her, and the Queen saw it out of the corner of her eye. She helped Yuanruan change the napkin tied around her chest, wiped the oil from her mouth, and continued to listen to the Prince's description of the recent anti-trafficking situation.

Yuanruan checked with the system while listening: [Tong'er, is there anything that has slipped through the net that my nephew mentioned this time? ]

System: [Don't worry. My nephew specifically told the Jinyi Guard to control the entire village this time. Not even a chicken can escape. There will definitely be no fish that slipped through the net like last time.]

The queen paused and looked at the prince coldly.

Prince: ...

Yuan Ruan: [That's good. But you can't blame your nephew. Who would have thought that such a large and wealthy village would be full of kidnappers? Some of them were once victims, but now they are helping the evildoers.]

System: [Yes, they are still arrogant. It is true that when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will be king. Fortunately, your brother is violent, so I will directly send them to the extermination of their three clans and their eternal damnation. Cool! ]

Yuan Ruan couldn't help but nodded.

The tyrant's temper is quite cute when it is triggered by certain events.
