The girl eventually starved to death and turned into a hungry ghost, filled with wrath. Not only did she slaughter the buyer, but she also caught up with the Human Traffickers and tore them apart alive in front of some people.
The matter was investigated and clarified, but how to handle it remained a problem.
Although Dali still had a distinction between servants and commoners in name, trafficking was expressly prohibited, and the Human Traffickers, as the main perpetrators, were certainly subject to execution.
Moreover, this case touched upon another issue: just a few years ago, the Crown Prince of Dali had been engaged in disaster relief in the West, with the main policy being to at least ensure no one starved to death.
Allowing someone to starve like this under Dali's policy and the attitude of the authorities was deemed even more reprehensible than the Human Traffickers themselves.
