Based on the information provided by Winnie, as well as the permission certificate he received, Owen judged that the bad guys who had captured Winnie wanted to send her to the Pavilion.As Duke Eddie's treasure was about to run out, Owen immediately ordered a group of soldiers to storm the Pavilion.When Owen and his party came over, Yiguan had been successfully controlled by the soldiers.Seeing that the lord was coming, the captain of this musket team hurriedly stepped forward to report the situation."
My lord, we have captured the leader of the Yi Pavilion, and we have found that they are all forced to be locked up here.""
Good."
No one was injured in the operation, it was swift and flawless, and Owen nodded in satisfaction.Then, he turned to Marpel and said, "Marpel, the women who are being held in the dungeon will be handed over to you first. ”"No problem.""
Someone, lead the way for Miss Jarvis Knight."
The captain called a soldier.Marpel and the other women followed the soldier to the dungeon, while Owen asked the captain, "Where is the leader of the Pavilion?"
”"Come with me in the inner room, my lord."
Most of the surrenderers were herded into the hall on the first floor to be guarded, while the leader was tied up alone and locked in a room.Led by the captain, Owen enters the room and meets the bald man who is the leader.He sat in a chair with his hands and feet tied, and two soldiers stood upright behind him.Seeing Owen, the bald man was the first to ask, "You are the Marquis of Eisen, our new lord?"
”"That's right, that's me."
Owen responded."
My lord, I don't know what crime I have committed to be treated like this?"
The bald man cautiously questioned, "Many of my men have been killed by your soldiers. ”"Your men must have hindered the soldier's mission and were shot and killed by using force to resist.If you cooperate honestly, you won't incur such an end.As for what sin you have committed?
”Owen put on a solemn expression and explained, "You have committed the crime of forcing women into prostitution. ”Hearing this, the bald man looked stunned, what kind of crime is this?
I've never heard of it!"
That......
There is no such sin in the Kingdom law. ”The Kingdom of Dawnlight has a set of laws that are common to the whole country, but this set of laws is very general, and it also treats commoners and nobles differently.For the same crime, the commoner may have his hands and feet cut off, but the nobleman can lose money.This unfair legal provision is also something that Owen intends to correct in the future."
Not really, but I issued a decree this morning that added to the charge."
Owen said.What?!
The bald man suddenly realized that the decree that was only issued this morning immediately sent troops over to thoroughly investigate the Yi Pavilion, which was obviously aimed at himself.For this reason, he could only quibble: "My lord, the law of the kingdom does not prohibit forced female slaves into prostitution. ”"But I didn't allow it.""
But, but......" said what else the bald man wanted to say."
Don't."
Owen interrupted, "I am a lord and have the right to interpret the laws of the kingdom, and when I say forbidden, forbidden. ”There are many provisions of the Kingdom Law that are not clearly interpreted, so they need to be supplemented by the local lords.Generally, how it is beneficial to oneself is explained.The power of interpretation was firmly in the hands of the lords, which ensured the interests of the ruling class itself.Although it was also unreasonable, Owen was determined to dispose of Yiguan before leaving, so he unceremoniously took advantage of it."
This ......"
The bald man broke out in a cold sweat, knowing in his heart that the other party just wanted to uproot Yiguan, and it was useless to say anything to himself."
What punishment will I receive?""
Because you're the leader, you'll be sent to work in the mines until you die."
Owen decided to bring all the people caught in Yiguan back to Frontier Town, and all the people except the leader were sent to the mining area to mine for a few years and carry out labor reform.After announcing the leader's punishment, Owen ignored him and left the room for the dungeon.Outside the pavilion, there are a number of rooms with special purposes.There, Owen listened to a debriefing from Marpel.As many as 123 women were imprisoned, of whom human women were the majority.The youngest of the human women is only six years old, and 100% is offered to bastards who have a copper fetish.The girls were all sold by their parents or other guardians.And there are exactly twenty female sub-people, and the races are cat people, werewolf people, and rabbit people, all of which are subhuman races in the forest of Lola.According to Winster's side, these female sub-people seem to be called beast-eared girls.Even Owen had to admit that with his human appearance, coupled with animal ears and tail, he looked really cute, and he couldn't help but touch two of them.But this is not a reason for humans to capture sub-women and sell them to nobles and merchants.Gathering the adult human women, Owen gives them two options.If you have a place to go or want to find a place to stay outside, you can get a decent amount of money and leave on your own.You can also choose to go to the border town, which will provide accommodation and arrange a job, so there is no problem in living in peace.Eventually, half of the women chose to leave, and the other half wanted to go to Frontier Town.When Marpel gave the human women who chose to leave, Owen asked the women if they wanted to return to the Great Forest of Lola.I thought that the women were anxious to go home, but I didn't think that they were sad to say that the village had been burned down by human robbers, and even if they wanted to go back, there was nothing left.In that case, Owen can only invite them to Frontier Town and explain that the people there are receptive to the subhuman race.The twenty female sub-men all nodded in agreement.To be honest, arranging for them to work as maids in the lord's castle seemed like a good choice.As for the underage girls, Owen will arrange for them to live in an orphanage in the border town, as well as to go to school.The guardians could not bear to sell the little girls, so naturally they could not send them back.Before leaving, Owen did not forget to order the soldiers to rummage through the Yiguan and confiscate all the property.Located on the outskirts of the city, the Yiguan was used to imprison, train and sell women, and was only open to wealthy nobles and merchants.There is also a building in the Dongsheng Fortress called the Red Pavilion, which is a place where women openly sell their skins and skins, and it is open to everyone.It is said that there is a private connection between the Yi Pavilion and the Red Pavilion, and that the women who have been trained in the Yi Pavilion will be sent to the Red Pavilion for prostitution.It's just that there are also women in the Red Pavilion who voluntarily sell their bodies in exchange for payment.In fact, Owen sent soldiers to raid the Yi Pavilion, and by the way, he also asked Viscount Jarvis to bring some soldiers to investigate the Red Pavilion.A group of people suddenly broke in, scaring away a lot of guests.Viscount Jarvis asks if anyone here has been forced to work here, and if so, please come forward, and the lord will protect them from harm.As a result, no one dared to stand up and answer, and I don't know if the women sent by Yiguan didn't dare to speak out, or what.In desperation, Viscount Jarvis could only let the soldiers withdraw from the Red Pavilion.Because of this, it also provoked those women who worked in the Red Pavilion to complain, saying that they scared away the guests who were to be entertained and made a lot of money.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
