Two days later, Liang Xingfa wore civilian clothes and wandered around the streets with the Songshan Seven Monsters to see if the social atmosphere under his rule had improved.

As he was walking, he suddenly saw a noisy scene. Not far away, a large group of people walked towards them, except for the woman in the middle, surrounded by some obscene-looking men. They were so noisy that the whole street looked like a miasma.

Liang Xingfa and the others were very angry with this group of people, not because they couldn't get used to their arrogance, but because the weak woman in the middle was tied up. She looked to be in her thirties, with a graceful demeanor and tears on her face. There were a few rude men next to her, who always pushed her and told her to hurry up. It was obvious that she was so tired that she could barely walk, but the sweaty sweats still pushed her head and her waist and urged her to walk faster.

Although the woman was a weak woman, she had an extremely pungent personality. She scolded the big men who pushed her loudly and said, "Don't touch me with your dirty hands." Touch me again, be careful that I chop off your hands. ”

The group of sweaters were grinning and constantly saying some obscene things to the woman, making the woman's face flush with anger.

The Seven Monsters of Songshan felt indignant, thinking that so many big men would bully a weak female streamer, and then clamored to teach these shameless guys a lesson.

Liang Xingfa told the Songshan Seven Monsters not to get excited first, and then ask about the situation later. At this time, I saw a little girl crying from behind and looking for her mother. This little girl looks like she is about eight or nine years old, with two small pigtails, which is quite cute. I saw the little girl rushing up and hugging the tied woman, shouting, "Mother." Don't leave me. I want to be with you, and you don't want to go with them. Let's go home and cook. ”

The woman said to the little girl, "Go home first, son." I'll be back in a while. ”

The man dressed in crimson next to him shouted at the little girl and told her to hurry up and go away, and not to get in the way. But the little girl just wouldn't go, she hugged her mother tightly, and she had to be with her. The man at the head was in a hurry, grabbed the little girl's clothes and pulled them, and the little girl flew to the side of the road, and her clothes were torn.

Liang Xingfa hurriedly called the chicken-headed monster to come forward to inquire about what was going on, and by the way, he brought the little girl here.

Soon, the chicken-headed monster came back with the little girl who was crying to herself. He told Liang Xingfa that the woman was from the nearby Red Bull Village, whose family was poor, and her husband was a showman who made a living from farming. Her mother-in-law died of illness last month, and she had borrowed 10 taels of silver from a trafficker to heal her, and she had to pay back 20 taels a month later, but they had no money to pay it back, so the trafficker sold her to the brothel owner. The man in the red dress was Wu Dafu, the owner of the brothel.

At this moment, a thin man chased after him with a kitchen knife, shouting: "Let go of my lady, or I will fight with you." ”

Wu Dafu yelled at the thin man: "What are you messing with, you are still a scholar, everyone has written clearly in black and white, if you don't have the money to pay back, you can only sell your wife." Now you will not be allowed to repent. ”

The thin man said, "I don't care, I just want my wife." You can't take her away. ”

Wu Dafu shouted: "What if I take it away." ”

"Then I'll fight with you." The thin man slashed at Wu Dafu as he spoke. He grabbed the man's hand holding the knife, twisted it hard, and the man's hand was dislocated, and the kitchen knife naturally slipped down. Wu Dafu kicked the thin man in the stomach again, and kicked him to the side.

The woman cried to the man, "Xianggong, are you okay?" You'd better go back, leave me alone, you can't beat them. Let's accept our fate. You just need to take good care of our daughter Xiaohong. ”

Little Red was still crying vigorously in the arms of the chicken-headed monster. kept shouting about Daddy.

Wu Dafu felt that he still didn't understand his hatred, and wanted to step forward and beat the man who fell to the ground. At this moment, Liang Xingfa appeared, he separated Wu Dafu's hand, and then pushed Wu Dafu to his feet. Several of Wu Dafu's subordinates wanted to come up and beat Liang Xingfa, but they were all kicked down by Liang Xingfa with a sweep of the hall.

Wu Dafu ran forward and yelled at Liang Xingfa: "What kind of birdman are you, how dare you come to take care of Uncle Ben's affairs?" ”

Liang Xingfa didn't answer him first, but just helped the man who was knocked down to his feet. At this time, the onlookers told Wu Dafu that the young man who beat him was the newly appointed magistrate.

Wu Dafu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly saluted Liang Xing. Liang Xingfa said to everyone present: "Everyone who has anything to do with this matter will talk to me back to the yamen." Don't crowd up on the road and get in the way of traffic. If you want to see the excitement, go to the yamen. After speaking, the Seven Monsters of Songshan escorted Wu Dafu and others to the Yamen.

Liang Xingfa was promoted after changing into official uniforms. There were four people kneeling in the hall, namely, Wu Dafu, the human trafficker, the woman who was tied up, and the woman's husband.

Liang Xingfa first asked the name of the couple. The man replied, "Student Zhou Long, a native of Red Bull Village." ”

The woman also replied: "Li Fang, the folk girl, is Zhou Long's wife. After finishing speaking, Liang Xingfa asked his subordinates to untie Li Fang's rope. Li Fang and Zhou Long thanked Liang Xing repeatedly.

Liang Xingfa asked what was the relationship between the trafficker and Wu Dafu? The trafficker proudly said, "I am the turtle in Wu Dafu's brothel." specializes in helping Wu Dafu find beautiful women everywhere. ”

Liang Xingfa suddenly slapped the wood, and asked Wu Dafu and Gui Gong if they were guilty?

Wu Dafu and Gui Gong were taken aback, and asked Liang Xingfa in confusion: "My lord." What sin have we committed? ”

Liang Xingfa said to Wu Dafu and Gui Gong: "Your legal awareness is really weak. First of all, you have violated the criminal law by gathering a crowd in the street to fight. Secondly, you have also violated the criminal law by trafficking in human beings, and it is also illegal for you to open a brothel. Finally, it is also a crime for you to lend money to usury without permission. You have committed a total of four laws, tell yourselves, what kind of punishment should you receive? ”

Wu Dafu cried and shouted: "My lord, I am wronged. That's how these things have been done since ancient times. You might as well inquire, I have been running a brothel for more than ten years, and several governors have taken care of my business. We are also willing to lend usury, I didn't force Zhou Long and them to borrow. There is also the case of human trafficking, which is clearly written in black and white, and everyone has always done this. ”

Liang Xingfa said to Wu Dafu: "What has always been done is really good." You are good, but you have suffered the poor people. I don't care what the previous officials did, anyway, when it's my turn to do it, I can't allow such a thing to happen. The book of the "law" that I asked you to write already clearly stipulates that there is no trafficking in human beings, no usury, and no brothel. Haven't you all read it? ”

Wu Dafu and Gui Gong said: "Reading is reading, but no one takes it seriously." Adults might as well imagine which man doesn't go to a brothel, from the emperor to the common people. If an adult comes to my brothel, I will give him a 5% discount. ”

Liang Xingfa slapped the wood again and shouted: "Wu Dafu, what do you think of this official?" Is this official the kind of dirty person? Visiting brothels is harmful to physical and mental health, and usury and human trafficking are causing wives to be separated. You two will be in prison for the rest of your life. ”

Wu Dafu and Gui Gong shouted and shouted, saying that they did not obey Liang Xingfa's verdict, why could others do it, but they couldn't do it when they got to Liang Xingfa. Liang Xingfa's answer was that even if it could be done elsewhere, it could not be done in the place under my jurisdiction. After speaking, he sent the Songshan Seven Monsters to seal the brothel, and all the fireworks women in it rushed to open up the wasteland and farm. Wu Dafu and Gui Gong washed their faces with tears every day in prison.

Later, Liang Xingfa found many trafficked children based on Guigong's confession, and many broken families were reunited. Every house is a scene of joy.

Since Wu Dafu and Gui Gong were arrested, there has been almost no human trafficking in Qinggu County, and there are no underworld organizations such as usury. Because the policy implemented by Liang Xingfa is very in line with the interests of ordinary people, everyone calls him the master of Qingtian, and also set up a shrine for him, and the incense is extremely prosperous.
