In the past life on the Internet, this sentence was almost rotten.
Jin Feng understood the literal meaning of this sentence, but that was all.
He had known for a long time that there were many powerful, wealthy, and wealthy businessmen in Dakang who did not regard domestic slaves as human beings, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, and he did not have a clear understanding in his heart.
It wasn't until he saw the miserable appearance of these two maids with his own eyes that Jin Feng truly understood what this sentence meant.
He didn't even dare to put himself in his shoes. What would he do if these two maids were people close to him?
As soon as this idea came up, the anger in Jin Feng's heart couldn't be restrained.
He turned around and shouted angrily: "Da Liu, arrest him!"
Having experienced suffering personally makes it easier to empathize with it.
Only those who have been caught in the rain will know the feeling of ice rain hitting their body. When you have an umbrella in your hand and see others getting wet, you will think of inviting others to take shelter with you.
The escorts who follow Jin Feng are basically all poor people with poor backgrounds, and they are naturally more sympathetic to those who suffer.
After receiving Jin Feng's order, Da Liu stepped forward and kicked the rich man to the ground!
The thugs behind the wealthy businessman didn't even have time to say a word before they were all knocked to the ground by other bodyguards.
Two reckless thugs were beaten and felt a little dissatisfied. They frowned and glared at the escort.
As a result, he was kicked in the face by the escort's iron boot in the next second.
The wealthy businessman was also a master who bullied the weak and feared the strong. When he saw that Liu and the others were serious about it, he quickly shouted: "Master, this is the capital, and it is against the law to hit people at will!"
"You know it's illegal to hit someone, but you still dare to beat her to death?"
Da Liu asked angrily, pointing at the maid who was beaten to death.
"You are a slave and a slut. I bought her, and her life is mine..."
Before the wealthy businessman finished his quibbles, he was kicked in the stomach again.
"Fuck your mother's stinky bullshit, His Majesty's royal decree said that from now on, all slaves and lowly status will be banned, and domestic slaves are not allowed to be beaten..."
"Da Liu, why are you talking so much to a dying person?"
Jin Feng looked at the maid who was beaten to death on the ground and felt very uncomfortable. He waved his hand and said: "Catch them back and interrogate them carefully. Anyone who participated in the beating of the maid will be sent to the market entrance and punished three times!"
Chen Ji's imperial notice stated that from the date of promulgation of the notice, anyone who beats a domestic slave again will be punished three times.
If a domestic slave is beaten to death, he will be sent to Caishikou and punished in the same way until he is beaten to death in the same way.
The rich man finally got scared and crawled over to beg Jin Feng for mercy, but was kicked in the face by Liu.
The rest of the matter was naturally handled by the imperial guards and government officials. Jin Feng took Da Liu and others back to the government office.
In fact, the Ninth Princess and Chen Ji did not agree with Jin Feng's slave release order, but Jin Feng persisted and reluctantly agreed to use it as a pilot in the capital.
Jin Feng originally planned to see the results of the trial. If the results were not good, he would think of other methods.
But on the way back to the government office, Jin Feng's thoughts gradually became firmer.
Returning to the government office, Princess Ninth noticed that Jin Feng's face looked strange, and quickly called for a forbidden soldier to ask about the specific process.
The Ninth Princess was also very angry about the rich man's actions. She walked over to comfort Jin Feng, but before she could speak, she heard Jin Feng say: "Go back and tell your father that he needs to take the lead in obeying the slave release order. The maids in the harem
and eunuchs, if they want to leave, let them go; if they don’t want to leave, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs pay them wages!”
The Ninth Princess was stunned and swallowed back her words of comfort to Jin Feng.
Previously, the slave liberation order did not include the imperial palace, but now Jin Feng is determined to implement the slave liberation order, and the royal family is the best promotion method.
"My lord, I know you are very angry, but is it not appropriate to implement the slave liberation order in the palace?"
Princess Ninth asked worriedly.
"Why is it inappropriate? Are there not many palace ladies who die in the harem every year?"
Jin Feng turned around and asked.
The concubines in the harem have nothing to do every day. Their job is to try their best to please the emperor.
Therefore, almost all of Chen Ji's harem concubines are masters of evil-doing.
And palace maids are often the victims of their struggles.
The Ninth Princess was speechless by Jin Feng.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Ms. sir, I understand what you mean, but the relationship between you and my father has just eased, and now you want to implement the slave liberation order in the palace. I'm afraid that my father will think too much."
"Don't your father want to be the emperor for eternity? This matter can be used to make a fuss."
Jin Feng didn't want to quarrel with Chen Ji, so he gave the Ninth Princess an idea: "Think about it, which king has made such an initiative since ancient times? Your father is definitely the first one in history to do this!
It will definitely be recorded in the history books and be famous throughout the ages!”
"My lord, my father will be cheated to death sooner or later!"
The Ninth Princess glanced at Jin Feng angrily and compromised: "I can discuss this matter with my father, but there is something I need to tell you in advance. The dead soldiers trained by the royal family and some palace maids who know too many secrets cannot
In the ranks of the manumission order!"
"Fine!"
Jin Feng also knows that the royal family has many secrets, and what the Ninth Princess just said may be her bottom line.
In fact, the purpose of making a fuss about the royal family was to play a propaganda role, so I nodded and agreed.
"Then I will go back to the palace to see my father first."
The Ninth Princess left immediately and returned to the palace to discuss the matter with Chen Ji.
There is never a shortage of flatterers in the court. Ever since the tax reduction announcement was issued, Chen Ji received countless memorials praising him.
Recently, Chen Ji's visits to the imperial study have increased significantly. He goes there almost every day to see what other memorials are praising him today.
In addition, tens of thousands of people came to the court in the past few days, which made Chen Ji even more popular.
The temptation of Chen Ji by the Eternal Emperor was greater than the Ninth Princess imagined. After the Ninth Princess persuaded her for a few words, Chen Ji immediately agreed.
He was even imagining how the ministers would praise him this time and how the history books would record him.
None of the rhetoric prepared by Ninth Princess on the road was used.
However, the goal has been achieved, and the Ninth Princess has returned home with a full load.
At Liu's urging, the trial of the wealthy businessman's beating of his maid to death began on the same day.
Rich businessmen beat people to frighten maids and slaves. These maids and slaves are witnesses, and the trial process is extremely simple.
Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment were present, so the case was closed that day. The next day, the wealthy businessman and several thugs who participated in the beating of the maid were hung to the Caishikou and executed in public.
On the third day, Chen Ji issued another order and released a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
In the past, a wealthy businessman was beaten to death. Later, Chen Ji personally set an example. No one dared to commit crimes again, and the slave release order was finally successfully implemented.
Chen Ji also got his wish and received a large number of memorials praising his merits.
Some people also came to the capital with their freed children to express their gratitude to the palace.
Everything was going in a better direction until Princess Ninth received an urgent piece of information.
"My lord, the Cao family in Suizhou has rebelled!"
