After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

What does this have to do with him?

Zhang Xiaoshuai was trying to please Minister Qian, so he deliberately made things difficult for Fu Yutang and the others. It wasn't him who ordered it!

Thinking about it, he blurted out: "What does this have to do with me? I'm not very familiar with him, and I don't know what kind of person he is..."

"You don't know his character, and you still dare to stand up and plead for him?" Fu Yutang glanced at him with his peach blossom eyes, his eyes were like ink, and he said in a calm voice: "If you were in the temple, I would definitely praise you for being a living relic and having a kind heart. Unfortunately, you are now in Jingguang Palace, and you are the parent official of the people. It would be too light for me to call you a fool who doesn't know right from wrong!"

"you you you……"

The official's neck turned red with anger. He wanted to retort, but didn't know where to start. He could only shake his sleeves in shame and reluctance, and retreat back to his original position angrily, pretending that he didn't want to argue with her.

Fu Yutang didn't take him seriously at all. He turned his head and glanced at Feng Xingjun above him. He told the whole story of the missing children and presented his confession. He said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I am not being unforgiving. It's just that Zhang Xiaoshuai is guilty of an unforgivable crime! Over five years, three hundred children and three hundred families have suffered this unprovoked disaster because of Qian Youcai's poor judgment of people and Zhang Xiaoshuai's dereliction of duty!"

"In fact, it has formed a complete...harvesting and cutting industry chain."

Fu Yutang took a deep breath, suppressed the bitterness in his eyes, bowed to Feng Xingjun, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please severely punish Qian and Zhang. Also, impose the death penalty on the criminals involved in child trafficking."

When these words were spoken, all the officials present, except those from the Ministry of Justice, were shocked.

This, this is really the reincarnation of the living King of Hell? !

You should know that in the Daning Law, except for those who injure others or kill others due to trafficking, who will be sentenced to hanging or beheading, the rest will be punished with caning and exile at most.

Fu Yutang wanted to execute all those kidnappers right from the start. Wasn't that too cruel?

Is this an attempt to overturn the rules of our ancestors and revise the laws of Daning?

For a time, everyone had different thoughts.

Feng Xingjun didn't say anything. He just looked down at the confession in his hand. The more he read, the gloomier his expression became.

By the end, his face had become so dark that it was unbearable to look at.

He signaled Fulu to distribute the confession in his hand to the ministers below, and then he set his eyes on Fu Yutang and said, "Minister Fu, do you want me to amend the relevant laws?"

"Don't dare."

In the Da Ning Dynasty, in addition to nobles and officials, there was also a distinction between good people and untouchables.

Good citizens are registered civilians, commoners, and free people, and cannot be bought and sold as commodities.

The untouchables were divided into official untouchables and private untouchables: official untouchables included official slaves, official households, artisan and musician households, miscellaneous households, etc.; private untouchables included private slaves, servants (domestic servants) affiliated with bureaucrats and landlords, and entertainers, etc.

These "non-good people", or untouchables, are allowed to be bought and sold as commodities, provided that there is an official broker who issues "market certificates" or "public certificates" to facilitate the legal transactions.

Many high-ranking officials are involved in this legal transaction.

Fu Yutang knew very well that she could not change the law on human trafficking at the moment, and of course she could not change it alone.

So, she put all her focus on human trafficking.

Hearing Feng Xingjun's words, she bowed her head and said respectfully -
