Chapter 823 - 823 Counterattack
?Chapter 823: Counterattack Chapter 823: Counterattack Editor: Atlas Studios This was a feudal dynasty, so it was naturally impossible for everyone to be equal.
‘All are equal before the eyes of the law’ was a concept that only existed in novels and plays.
A prince killing a commoner faced a different punishment from a commoner who killed a commoner, let alone a lowly prostitute who had been bought with money.

In that case, a county official could have the culprit exiled.

Mu Yangling’s gaze was obscure as she asked, “He’s killed so many lives, but your government hasn’t done anything?” Liu Qing knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
“Your Highness, because it was a slave he killed, the officials usually don’t investigate such cases unless it was reported…” Since it wasn’t even considered a crime for a master to kill his slave, how could he interfere?
