While they were talking, someone had already cleaned up the body and even wiped away the blood.
The locals shook their heads and said, "There's no evidence against him, so who can you turn to for justice?"
"What's more, the taxes these gambling houses pay to the government office every month are countless."
"How could the government officials come to trouble them just because of the death of some gamblers?"
Ying Yuan was silent.
He stayed here for two more days.
Learn something from your neighbors.
It is said that many young people in the area have contracted syphilis.
Even more people died because of this.
The reason for this is that the madams in those brothels do not behave like human beings.
If a girl in a brothel fell ill, as long as she was not dead, the madam would continue to let her receive customers.
If they really can't bear it anymore, the madam will not take them to see a doctor.
Instead, they used a traditional method, which was to kill viruses at high temperatures.
That is, pouring boiling hot oil or hot water on the lower body, or even worse, directly using red-hot iron sticks to burn it.
How can this be a solution?
The girls were forced to sell themselves.
If you can't survive the hot oil, the result is only one word - death.
Even some local gamblers don't want to have sons, but insist on having daughters, who can be sold for a lot of money.
If a girl of good birth is sold to a brothel, her household registration will be immediately lost, and she will not even be considered a slave.
Ultimately, it was because Ying Yuan abolished slavery.
Without slaves, they found ways to exploit loopholes in the law.
I came up with a way to play without a household registration.
Without household registration, you can't even be called a slave.
The final result can only be to be toyed with and killed.
After learning so many things, Ying Yuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for several days and nights.
He knew that there were many rules of survival among the people.
Forcing people to conform to those rules, those who disobey will only end up dead.
But I didn't expect that the people would be in such chaos.
"I originally thought that the various reform measures I had taken previously would greatly improve the lives of ordinary people, but I didn't expect that it was just my wishful thinking."
At this moment, in the inn room, Ying Yuan was speaking weakly to Ah Qing.
All of his previous reform measures were aimed at destroying the country and causing incompetence.
I thought to myself, if I can't ruin the country by being incompetent, I can at least improve the lives of the people.
But I didn’t expect that some powerful and wealthy people would find ways to continue to exploit the people.
It's like a dam about to burst.
It is useless for the court to just order a blockade.
Because when you plug one rotten hole, another one will appear.
This is what Ying Yuan is most worried about.
"A few days ago, I wrote to Yu Qian, asking him to come to Yanzhou as soon as possible."
"There are some things I want to make clear to him."
"Crackdown on gangs and evil is definitely not just a superficial effort."
"We must eradicate it from the root and restore peace and order to the people."
Ying Yuan made a solemn decision.
