Jin Feng's hot air balloon flying team can be said to have been formed by Eagle.
Not only is his flying skills superb, he also has high prestige in the team.
It would be a waste for such a master to stay in the palace and play with Chen Ji.
There is no need to ask for help, Jin Feng will not let the Eagle stay in the capital.
"Your Majesty, Eagle is my flying group captain, and I have to rely on him to lead the flying group to guard the border."
Jin Feng looked at Chen Ji: "I will go back and arrange a few more people for Your Majesty. Their skills will definitely pass the test."
"That's okay too."
Chen Ji didn't insist on keeping the eagle, and looked around with a telescope.
A few people took a hot air balloon and walked around the city wall of the capital, stopping several times to refill the fuel, before Chen Ji was completely happy.
The common people had seen the emperor from a distance, knelt down and worshiped before starting their return journey.
When they returned to the palace, it was already dark. The Ninth Princess wanted to go to the Imperial Study Room to correct the memorial, but Jin Feng took her directly back to the palace to rest.
It was Chen Ji's first time to experience the worship of all the people, and he was a little over the top. When he came back, he rarely went to the harem to mess around, but went to the imperial study to work overtime.
The two imperial notices he issued previously were unanimously supported by the people, but they greatly harmed the interests of the rich and powerful.
Fortunately, the Ninth Princess was very ruthless during this time, and all the powerful people in the capital were afraid of being killed, and no one dared to say a word.
However, the powerful are masters of playing tricks. They dare not come forward themselves, so they secretly encourage some small brothels and wealthy merchants to refuse girls from leaving brothels and domestic slaves from leaving home for various reasons.
The purge of the Ninth Princess some time ago mainly targeted the powerful and high-ranking officials and did not touch the ordinary wealthy businessmen and brothels. As a result, the wealthy businessmen and some small brothels did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
Wealthy businessmen are accustomed to a life of being served by others. Once there are no domestic slaves, who will feed and clothe them?
The brothel girls are the money-spinners for the madam and the boss. If they all leave, who will pick up the customers? Who will make money for them?
Not everyone is self-aware, and there are always some people in this huge capital who are just lucky.
The day after the notice was issued, people everywhere in the capital were trying to prevent domestic slaves from leaving.
Many brothel girls were also stopped and not allowed to leave.
When the Ninth Princess learned of this situation, she immediately arranged for the government officials to increase publicity in various parts of the capital. When encountering such a situation, she could go to the government office to complain to the officials.
The capital is full of powerful and high-ranking officials, as well as people related to them. In order to avoid encountering powerful and high-ranking officials who the government officials dare not deal with, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess even went to the government offices in the capital to sit down in person.
As a result, not long after they arrived at the government office, an old couple sued the government office.
They were once forced to have no choice but to feed their daughter. In order to ensure that the child would have food to eat and not starve to death, they gave their daughter to a wealthy businessman as a maid.
This rich businessman was a little perverted and always liked to beat his servants. After learning that his daughter was not doing well in the rich businessman's house and the old couple were having a better life, they wanted to get the child back.
But at that time, they had already signed a sale contract with the wealthy businessman. Instead of getting their children back, they were beaten up by the wealthy businessman's servants.
Not only that, the wealthy businessman intensified his abuse of their daughter after the old couple was beaten out.
The old couple felt sorry for their child, but there was nothing they could do.
After hearing the imperial notice yesterday, they immediately went to find the wealthy businessman.
As a result, this time the wealthy businessman still did not return the child to them. Instead, in front of them, he stripped their daughter naked, hung her up and beat her half to death.
Jin Feng knew that the order to free slaves would cause dissatisfaction and resistance from wealthy households and brothels, but he did not expect that even after the emperor issued an imperial notice, some people would go against it and commit crimes.
Leaving the Ninth Princess to guard the government office, Jin Feng set off immediately and rushed to the wealthy businessman's home with a team of bodyguards and imperial troops.
Seeing so many people coming, the concierge did not dare to stop them and allowed Jin Feng to lead them into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, Jin Feng heard bursts of yelling and cursing coming from the direction of the backyard.
Following the screams to the backyard, I saw a wooden frame standing in the center of the yard.
Hanging on the shelf were two maids with no clothes on. Their bodies were scarred by whips, their heads were hanging limply, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
Beside the wooden frame, a group of maids and servants were kneeling.
Many of the kneeling people had whip marks on their bodies.
"Is anyone else leaving?"
A middle-aged man with a big belly asked with a ferocious face while holding a whip.
Behind him followed seven or eight burly thugs.
The maids and servants kneeling beside them shook their heads quickly and shouted that they didn't dare anymore.
"Lan'er!"
The old couple recognized that a maid hanging on the shelf was their daughter, and ran over crying.
"Hey, how dare you two old men come here!"
The wealthy businessman didn't notice Jin Feng and the others, and he opened his mouth to curse the old couple, but his sleeves were pulled by a thug next to him.
Only then did the wealthy businessman hear footsteps behind him, turned his head, and saw Jin Feng leading someone in.
The wealthy businessman did not recognize Jin Feng, but recognized the imperial guards and bodyguards through their uniforms.
The anger on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a smile: "Why did you military masters come to my house?"
Jin Feng ignored the wealthy businessman and signaled to Da Liu to lead someone to help the old couple lower the two maids hanging from the wooden frame.
The two maids didn't know how long they were hung. The flesh on their wrists was worn away, and they didn't wake up even after they were put down.
"Lan'er! Lan'er!"
The old couple hugged one of the maids and cried until they died.
While crying, the old man took off his tattered robe and covered his daughter.
The old woman was crying and shaking her daughter vigorously.
It's a pity that no matter how hard they shook her, her daughter didn't open her eyes and answer them.
The imperial guards and bodyguards were all wearing armor. When Jin Feng saw the other maid still lying on the ground, he took off his coat and handed it to Bei Qianxun.
After Kita Qianxun wrapped the maid in her coat, he stretched out his hand to feel the pulse on her neck, then tapped her a few times, and pinched her again.
The maid who was unconscious slowly opened her eyes.
But his eyes were full of fear and pleading, and the first sentence he spoke was to beg for mercy: "Master... I don't dare to leave anymore... Master, please spare me..."
Just as Bei Qianxun was about to comfort the maid, her arms were grabbed by the old couple.
When the old couple saw Bei Qianxun tapping another maid a few times, the maid woke up, pulled Bei Qianxun's sleeves and begged:
"Girl, look at Lan'er quickly, why can't we wake her up!"
"Don't worry, let me take a look."
Bei Qianxun called a female escort, asked her to hold the maid who had just woken up, and squatted next to Lan'er.
He reached out and put his hand on Lan'er's neck. After touching it for a moment, he sighed and took back his fingers.
"Girl, why don't you order it? Hurry up and order Lan'er!"
The old woman held Kit Chihiro's arm and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, she...she's dead!"
Kita Chihiro said with a hard heart.
In fact, the old couple had guessed the result just now, but they still felt a little lucky in their hearts.
And Kita Chihiro's words completely shattered the last bit of luck in their hearts.
"My Lan'er!"
The old woman let out a cry of sorrow and fainted.
