This matter was not a big deal for the original Jin family.

However, things are different now. The Jin and Qi families dare not do anything that could be used against them.

Young Master Jin was also thrown into prison, waiting for the officers to investigate and interrogate the relevant personnel.

Considering the woman's concern for her reputation, the police investigated privately and asked about the incident. They wanted to ask all the people involved in the case clearly.

However, those married women were worried that their relatives would come to their homes to curse and cause trouble in the future, so they did not dare to say who sold them.

These girls were not valued at home.

Upon investigation, it turned out that they all had fathers who had died, mothers who had remarried, and were raised by uncles and aunts.

This also explains why these beautiful girls are not loved by their families, but are sold by them for money.

In the troubled times, these girls unfortunately lost the protection of their parents. Their grandparents had also starved to death in the famine.

Growing up in the homes of uncles and aunts, it is already a great favor for them to be fed and raised by their aunts and uncles. They can no longer expect their aunts and uncles to give them a dowry.

Therefore, when they were in their prime, they were sold by their families to rich men as concubines, or sold to rich young men as playthings for entertainment, in exchange for generous rewards from their families. This was the fate of these unfortunate women.

The matter is not difficult to investigate. The key is whether these women have the courage to identify who sold them, who bought them, and who bullied them.

Only if they firmly identify those who persecuted them can the officials find more witnesses and evidence to help them hold their persecutors accountable.

The two women who were sold to the brothel had no freedom at all. They were like floating duckweed, with no one to support them.

The prostitutes were even more despised. Their words were not believed. So even if they mustered up the courage to burn their boats and tell the truth about their relatives who betrayed them, the brokers who bought them, and the rich man who bullied them.

However, no one is willing to speak up for the prostitutes, let alone testify for them. They don’t even want to have anything to do with them, fearing that their reputation will be damaged.

However, the prostitutes were once from good families. The selfish side of human nature was fully demonstrated in this incident.

Things are not going well. The law enforcement gods have been keeping an eye on how things are going.

They also sympathized with these innocent and pitiful women. They wanted to help, but they couldn't help directly. They wanted to ask Li Pingan how to solve this problem.

Li Pingan asked the law-enforcing gods to wait and see. Human affairs should still be judged by human laws.

Similarly, Li Ping'an also wanted to supervise the law enforcement capabilities of the local officials and police.

The reform of civil service administration is more important for grassroots officials, because they are directly facing ordinary people and have to deal with many cases every day.

Enforce the law impartially, quickly hear and investigate cases, and provide strong evidence and witnesses. These are the requirements that Li Ping'an and the king placed on local government officials and runners in their efforts to rectify the administration.

Li Ping'an gave officials and runners the opportunity and process for self-growth.

Although the matter of Young Master Jin was made into a mess, it was actually not complicated.

As expected, the forces of the Jin and Qi families actively participated in investigating the case, investigating the relatives and brokers who bought and sold these poor women.
