To be honest, those thugs who spend all day in casinos are not good things, and Zhao Peng has no good impression of these social scumbags at all.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit gambling, such a rogue is of no benefit to society in the end. The 3,000 taels of silver they won are definitely ill-gotten. Although the court recognized the IOU, it was impossible for them to take it all back.

Who knew that after Zhao Peng said that, the two Qingpi said, "Zhao Erlu's family is worth less than 1,000 taels of silver. Our brothers are kind-hearted and calculated. Let him calculate one thousand taels for hard work in Qiongzhou for ten years. Can we get one thousand taels of silver? Our brothers also act as kind-hearted and calculated one thousand taels of silver. It's only a thousand taels of silver! It's natural to pay back the debt! The remaining one thousand taels must be paid with the little wife of Zhao Erlu's family! Although the little wife is a bit beautiful, she is not worth 1,000 taels of silver. Our brothers are kind-hearted and calculated one thousand taels of silver for her is already very compassionate."

Zhao Peng thought to himself: Xiaofeng is also a poor woman. She is about to leave the wolf's nest, but she is about to fall into the tiger's mouth. Just these two thugs don't look good. Thinking of this, he said: "That little lady is a good woman, not a slave, how can she buy and sell? Nanjing Garment Factory is also the industry of my Ming Jinyiwei. She works there and is a member of the Jinyiwei! I advise you to die as soon as possible."

The two gamblers did not dare to offend the Jinyiwei, so they could only leave in a daze.

The prefect Song sighed: "Zhao Erlu deserves it, but it's a pity that his old mother. Zhao Erlu was sent to Qiongzhou, and her house was sold to offset the gambling debts. How can the old lady survive? The officials heard from the yamen runners that the old lady has a good reputation, and the neighbors and villages are all old ladies who are good people, but their son is unfilial."

Zhao Peng said: "I also know that the old lady is a good person, but a good person is not innocent! If he hadn't spoiled his son too much when he was young, it would have led to his son becoming like this? I wonder if Song Fuyi had heard a saying: Ducking a child is like killing a child?"

The prefect Song sighed: "It is not easy for an old lady. She lost her husband when she was young. She relied on her own to pull her son into adulthood. But she raised such an unfilial son."

"Forget it, just treat it as a lesson for the old lady. Who made her doting her son too much when she was young? If I had such an unfilial son, I would never give him the chance to grow up and become a human being long ago." Zhao Peng sneered.

Zhao Erlu was soon taken away by the government, and was given a hundred pieces of board, and then sent to Qiongzhou Iron Mine to serve hard labor. At the same time, a group of young scoundrels also came to the door with IOUs, drove Zhao Erlu's old mother out of the house, and took away his house. Fortunately, Xiaofeng was a kind woman. She rented a house with her salary and kept the old lady at home.

But things didn't end so simply. A few days later, one day, on the way home from get off work, Xiaofeng was beaten by two thugs and stuffed into sacks and kidnapped.

These rogues first raped Xiaofeng and then sold her to a brothel in Jinhua 800 miles away.

A living person was kidnapped and disappeared in broad daylight. After receiving the report, the prefect Song immediately ordered the constable of the government office to solve the case within a time limit. After all, this woman has attracted the attention of the Jinyiwei. If the case cannot be solved and the woman kidnapped by the criminals is rescued, he may not be able to keep his black hat.

Who knew that a month passed and the yamen runners had not found any clues.

Zhao Peng, who learned about this, was furious and ordered the Jinyiwei to come forward to solve the case.

After the Jinyiwei took action, the case was solved in just five days. It turned out that the matter was very simple. It was done by the two rascals named Zhang Shitou and Yang Er. These two guys beat Zhao Erlu's silver. Because they could not receive the silver behind, they were dissatisfied, so they kidnapped Xiaofeng one evening, raped her, and sold her to Jinhua.

Although the case was solved, Xiao Feng, who was sold to a brothel, refused to surrender and committed suicide by hanging himself. After Zhao Erlu's mother learned about this, she also vomited blood and died on the spot.

As the Jinyiwei continued to dig deeper, he found that two rascals, Zhang Shitou and Yang Er, had a black backstage in the prefect's yamen, such as the constables, Putou, yamen runners, and even executioners in the yamen, who gave them these rascals a black backstage.

In fact, these guys are not even officials, they are just the lowest-level yamen runners. The social status of these yamen runners and the police in the Ming Dynasty was far from comparable to those of the later police. The yamen runners and constellations are very low-ranking untouchables. If someone becomes a yamen runners and constellations, then his descendants will not be able to take the scientific examination for three generations, which shows how low the status of these people is.

However, in the minds of the common people, these yamen runners and constables do represent the existence of the government, especially for those social debris such as rogues. The yamen runners and constables are like god-like existences that suppress his city god, land, mountain gods and other gods.

If the traitors who commit crimes want to not be punished, they must curry favor with these yamen runners and constables, and the government will contact the people through yamen runners and constables. Once these rascals give the yamen runners and constables, they will do bad things that are harmful to the world and the government will not be able to catch them.

This is the black backstage and black umbrella of those thugs. Although these guys are not worth mentioning in front of the Jinyiwei, they are domineering and blessed in front of the common people.

Although the Jinyiwei Lishi and the lieutenant are just the most basic soldiers in the Jinyiwei, in the eyes of the world, they are serious officials, and the yamen runners are just officials, with very different status. The yamen runners in the yamen are not worthy of carrying shoes for the Jinyiwei Lishi. Even if they are a Jinyiwei Lishi, they are temporary workers, the yamen runners are respectful when they see them.

But these guys who are as lowly as ants act as the backstage and black umbrellas for the rogues. Some of these guys even collude with the officials above, allowing some officials to gain benefits from it.

For example, for example, Zhenguanxi in "Water Margin", which is Zheng Tu who was killed by Lu Zhishen's three punches, was originally a thug who was not doing his job, but he was a thug with background and backstage.

In ancient times, the bureaucrats had a lot of extra money in their hands. If they were kept at home and buried underground, they could not generate interest, and then they would become dead money. In order to obtain more profits, the bureaucrats and gentry often took out the money to lend money. However, when the loan is released, the gentry and bureaucrats could not come to collect debts on their own, right? Therefore, they would turn a blind eye to a group of gangsters in society, and those rogues helped them collect loans.
