Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

The punishments ranged from caning, whipping, hard labor, exile, military service, hand-cutting, tongue-cutting, castration, to the death penalty.

Even in the modern world where Lu Yan lived in his previous life, there was a crime of hooliganism in the early years, and the punishment was not light.

Later on, the relevant penalties became much more lenient.

Naturally, the current Heavenly Dou Empire has not yet reached the level of Lu Yan's previous modern era, and therefore is not suitable for more humane punishments.

In times of chaos, harsh measures are necessary!

In a world where the strong rule, only severe punishment can effectively get people to obey the law and change their bad habits.

Therefore, in this respect, obscene language is generally punished with caning or whipping.

If they lay hands or feet on you, they will cut off your hands or tongue, or even castrate you, depending on the circumstances.

Furthermore, if the injury constitutes a completed crime, the perpetrators will be sentenced to death, such as by slow slicing.

Given Ma Hongjun and Oscar's situation, if it was just empty talk, the most they would get is sixty strokes of the cane.

Unfortunately, Ma Hongjun not only verbally abused her, but also physically assaulted her.

Even though there was no physical contact with Ning Rongrong, the level of the crime was enough to classify it as a serious offense.

Unfortunately, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were caught red-handed by the rescue association's law enforcement officers.

Today's relief organizations have long since gone beyond simply providing aid to ordinary people.

Similarly, after Qian Renxue ascended the throne, she also gained law enforcement, oversight, and judicial powers.

This power is no less than that of the Embroidered Uniform Guard or the Eastern and Western Depots in Lu Yan's previous life.

It is precisely because of the immense power that someone like Lu Xingye, whom they can absolutely trust, is needed to conduct inspections and oversight.

After Ma Hongjun and Oscar were taken back, Lu Xingye naturally received the news.

There is no doubt that he was furious.

Even his future sister-in-law, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was harassed and molested in public.

This shows how many problems there are in the implementation of local relief efforts.

But he also understood that it wasn't just Soto City; the entire Heavenly Dou Empire faced similar problems.

The societal atmosphere of respecting the strong, accumulated over countless years, cannot be changed overnight.

However, this did not prevent Lu Xingye from ordering a severe interrogation of Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

He has professional staff around him.

After going through half of the process, the two from Shrek Academy had confessed everything.

"Minister, these are the confessions of those two men." In the office, the head of the guards who followed Ning Rongrong handed over his work to his colleagues.

He quickly returned to Lu Xingye's side, and even the interrogation of Ma Hongjun and Oscar was carried out by him personally.

As a trusted confidant who had followed Lu Xingye for a long time, he naturally still addressed Lu Xingye by the same name he used when Lu Xingye was at headquarters.

"Hmm." Lu Xingye nodded indifferently, accepting the report with a blank expression. "Did you treat them well?"

Upon hearing Lu Xingye's expressionless question, the head of the guards quickly replied, "Minister, rest assured, our methods have been passed down from the Judge himself, and we guarantee they will be very comfortable."

After receiving a reply from the guard leader, Lu Xingye nodded slightly before turning his attention to the report.

All the information about Ma Hongjun and Oscar was presented to Lu Xingye.

Young and talented, with decent skills, but otherwise, they have a long history of misdeeds. They have harassed respectable women and acted lustfully towards them more than once or twice.

However, due to their talent and strength, they easily resolved the issue.

In many cases, the woman was even quite satisfied to have obtained the excellent martial soul bloodlines of the two men.

This is also why the two became increasingly unscrupulous.

I just didn't expect to run into a brick wall this time.

In Lu Xingye's view, this report was actually quite unremarkable if it hadn't involved Ning Rongrong.

Similar situations have occurred frequently throughout the year.

However, there was one thing that caught Lu Xingye's attention.

"Heh, Shrek Academy." Lu Xingye chuckled lightly, his voice icy: "Go to the local Spirit Hall and get a detailed report on Shrek Academy to combine with your investigation."

"Yes!" The trusted subordinate nodded in acceptance, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Minister, what should we do with these two people? Please advise."

Since Ning Rongrong is involved, this decision can only be made by Lu Xingye.

“According to the law, castrate him.” A cold glint appeared in Lu Xingye’s eyes.

According to the confession, the man named Ma Hongjun seems to have a certain defect in his martial spirit.

Compared to other punishments, castration might be a more appropriate option.

Death is not always the most terrible punishment.

After being subjected to castration through the rescue association's special methods, they completely lost any possibility of recovery.

Unless we can get a healing-type Soul Master at the Title Douluo level to help, well...

Of course, it wasn't that Lu Xingye was "merciful," but rather that he was now in a high-ranking position in the law enforcement and oversight department.

It is still necessary to set a good example for those below you.

Moreover, based on his understanding of his sixth son, he was certain that the sixth son would be satisfied with the punishment of castration.

Thinking back to the amused look Lu Yan gave Lu Xingye when the legislative discussion was held about castration, Lu Xingye couldn't help but shake his head.

The sixth son of my family seems to really like the act of "confiscating the tools of the crime," I don't know what kind of weird quirk it is.

After waving his hand to signal his men to carry out the order, Lu Xingye also focused his attention on the words "Shrek Academy".

He already had some doubts about the academy, and now it seems he'll have to go there in person tomorrow.

After making a decision regarding Shrek Academy.

Lu Xingye's gaze also went through the office window, looking into the distance.

The road to reforming the entire Heaven Dou Empire is still very long!

From this confession report, Lu Xingye saw more than just Ma Hongjun's personal issues with Oscar.

The information revealed also includes the habits that everyone develops in an environment where the strong are respected.

That is, an extreme desire for martial spirit bloodline.

Lu Xingye understood this deeply, after all, his Lu family had once been in the same situation.

However, relatively speaking, it has a certain bottom line.

However, not everyone is able to uphold their bottom line in pursuit of power and upward mobility.

Like those ordinary girls who were properly taken care of by Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

After learning about the two individuals' martial soul talents, they both chose to compromise, or were persuaded by their families to do so.

Even with the spread of martial arts, this trend has not improved much.

Because an excellent martial spirit bloodline can also be of great help to martial arts cultivation.

With his thoughts racing, Lu Xingye could only shake his head helplessly in the end.

He once again focused his attention on handling official business and preparing for matters concerning Shrek Academy.

Chapter 298 Door-to-Door Visit

That evening, as planned, Lu Xingye hosted a banquet for a group of six, including Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin.

Lu Xingye also apologized to Ning Rongrong for what happened during the day.

Ning Rongrong naturally didn't take this to heart.

Even after they reunited with the other three women, the matter of Ma Hongjun and Oscar only became a minor anecdote in Ning Rongrong's conversation.

After all, given their good looks, this group of performers must have encountered similar situations during their tour.

It's just that the guards usually react faster, but this time they reacted a little slower.

However, it was Lu Xingye's mention of tomorrow's itinerary that piqued their interest.

Fortunately, Lu Xingye is not confident that he can completely control Shrek Academy with the power he currently possesses.

Normally, when it comes to Soul Saints and above, Lu Xingye would need to mobilize the local Spirit Hall's resources to cooperate.

If Lu Ling and her group were to go together now, with the help of two Title Douluos, Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin, things would naturally be much more convenient.

Just as Lu Xingye and others were having their dinner.

Dai Mubai had already extricated himself from the group of women and returned to Shrek Academy.

He was also cursing Oscar and Ma Hongjun for their disloyal behavior.

They left after they were done, even though he had paid for those two guys' prostitution last night.

Two bastards!

However, after returning to Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai still did not see the two guys.

A sense of unease immediately welled up in his mind. Had those two bastards abandoned him and gone off to have some fun again?

Dai Mubai was not worried at all about whether his two good brothers would run into trouble.

After all, these two guys have the strength of a Soul Master, and in actual combat, even a Soul Sect Master can't do anything to them.

In a place like Soto City, as long as they don't recklessly provoke the Rescue Association and the Spirit Hall, what danger could they possibly face?

Especially after meeting Zhu Zhuqing at Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai completely forgot about his two good brothers.

Dai Mubai was quickly attracted by Zhu Zhuqing's good looks and hot figure.

At the same time, Dai Mubai made a guess about Zhu Zhuqing's identity simply by sensing her martial soul.

Especially after learning Zhu Zhuqing's name from the academy's teachers, he was even more certain that she was his fiancée in the Star Luo Empire.

How did she end up at Shrek Academy?

Did they run away too? Or did they come looking for me?
