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

"I only hope that those who kidnapped and sold innocent people, and those who kidnapped but did not sell them, will be punished by crucifixion (executed and then dismembered).

If one knows that it is a trafficking act but still participates in the transaction, he shall be punished with the same crime as the trafficker and shall be crucified.

If a person sells a child when he should not be sold, or sells the child in the name of adoption, the seller shall be punished with 100 strokes of the cane and four years of imprisonment. If the buyer learns of the situation later, he shall also be guilty of the same crime as the seller.

Report the kidnapper and you will be rewarded with ten ounces of gold."

"This..." Feng Xingjun hesitated and said, "Isn't this too harsh?"

Fu Yutang bowed and said, "The essence of punishment and reward lies in encouraging good and punishing evil."

The essence of punishment and reward is to reward people for doing good things and punish those who do evil things.

Since they have done something that violates the law, they must bear the corresponding consequences.

"I know that Your Majesty is kind, but if you forgive those who violate the law and reduce their punishment, who will protect the innocent people who are destroyed or harmed by them?"

"What did those innocent people who were harmed do wrong?" Fu Yutang looked directly at Feng Xingjun and asked sincerely, "Did they make a mistake in abiding by the law? They are honest and dedicated, and live their lives with all their heart. Why do they have to suffer this unprovoked disaster? Do they have to endure the harm of bad people just because they are kind?"

Faced with Fu Yutang's questioning, Feng Xingjun was speechless.

After hearing what she said, the people in Qian Youcai's camp looked at each other. They knew that if the emperor really agreed to Fu Yutang's proposal, not only would Zhang Xiaoshuai, the appointed pioneer, be charged with additional crimes, but Qian Youcai, who was pretending to be sick at home, would also suffer.

If Qian Youcai is not good, then they can't be good either.

They must stop Fu Yutang!

Thinking of this, the leader winked slightly.

The next second, a middle-aged man with a long face stood up and said, "Master Fu, I understand that you hate evil, but you must know that amending the law is not a trivial matter."

Fu Yutang looked at him, his eyes paused on his face for two seconds, and felt that he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man was startled, thinking that Fu Yutang was deliberately humiliating him. After his expression changed several times, he replied in a stern and cold voice: "Master Fu is really a noble man who forgets things easily. I am Zhao Yong from the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Department."

It turns out that he is Zhao Ye’s biological father!

No wonder she felt familiar.

Fu Yutang looked at him meaningfully and nodded slightly as a greeting.

After waiting for a while, he finally said, "Master Zhao probably hasn't read those confessions yet, right?"

His expression was relaxed and his tone was gentle, as if he was asking casually, a far cry from his previous coldness.

Seeing her friendly expression, Zhao Yong's tense nerves relaxed a little. Without too much defense, he nodded and said, "I haven't seen it yet. But it doesn't affect anything."

He was also a man who had seen a lot of ups and downs. He was very familiar with the case handling procedures of the Ministry of Justice, and of course he was also very clear about the evil deeds of those kidnappers.

It is nothing more than resorting to vile acts such as coercion, violence, abduction, and deception, and committing crimes by individuals or groups.

The confession is probably just some old-fashioned tricks, with similar confessions. You can read it or not.

"Since Lord Zhao hasn't read it, let me tell Lord Zhao and those who haven't read the confession about the crimes of these kidnappers."

Fu Yutang stepped out of the line again, glanced at Zhao Yong, and slowly said, "You all must think that kidnappers would at most sell the children they kidnapped, and would not do anything excessive, right? Even if they accidentally hurt or killed a child, it was because the child was too noisy, and this was the reason for the big mistake, right?"
