Chapter 20: What is the Kindness of a Thousand Kinds of Righteousness (1)

What kind of person is Cao Hong?

Panpan couldn't figure it out, she thought along the way, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?

No matter what kind of person he is, at least he is a master book, and it is a master book that can make the "Son of Heaven" bow down to his ears.

She also knew that this person coveted her beauty.

"Just follow the arrangement of God!" Panpan sighed slightly. Since her identity became a slave, she often muttered this sentence. Like all slaves, she was nothing more than a plaything of her master, and her life and death were in the hands of others, and she sometimes prayed to Heaven to help herβ€”such a poor and helpless weak woman.

But she didn't know that she met the hottest figure in Xuzhou's political scene at present. He has only been in Xuzhou for more than half a year, and he can already turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain. I don't know how many people have died at his hands, and I don't know how many people have risen because of him.

The place where she lived was his private house, and there were many concubines and advocates in the house. Cao Hong himself is a busy man, so busy that after the general concubine enters the mansion, he may not see him for half a year.

Panpan has always been extremely worried about the murder, but no one looked for her for several days after entering the house, and no one came to arrest her. As soon as she entered the house, she lived in a small courtyard alone, equipped with servants, treasures, food, silk and bamboo, etc. She is like the owner, you can go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, watch the willows by the wall, look at the moon in the pavilion, and feed the fish in the pond. Everyone in the mansion was extremely respectful to her, and it seemed that Panpan had returned to the past, those rich and happy days!

But she knew that all this was illusory, and it might be gone in an instant. She has been waiting, waiting for the people of the government to tie her rope and tie her ropes, waiting for the fat woman of the Cheng family to look at her angrily, waiting to see if she can see her father again.

I don't know what happened to my father? If only I could see him. The maidservant who served him must be gone, and he must have been bullied by the fat woman of the Cheng family, he can no longer take care of himself, and he is probably no longer in this world! Thinking of this, Panpan only felt that her heart was like a knife, and tears fell straight down.

In the past few days, she has wondered how good the people here are, the more uneasy she becomes. It's like a prisoner who is going to be killed tomorrow has to eat a good meal before the execution, she just eats a few more meals. She wondered how long she could last like this. She is already a broken flower, Cao Hong must have known this, not to mention that she also committed the felony of murder.

Death, perhaps, is really not terrible, but terrible is the torment before death.

Panpan is a calculating, instead of trying to break his head, it is better to be numb, and simply ignore it and go with it! When she first came, she didn't dare to call the people around her, but now she is calm.

Whatever, I'm going to die tomorrow, and I'm going to do the same today!

Five days have passed.

On this morning, Pan Pan had nothing to do, and watched the handmaidens in the courtyard iron the flat skirts. One of them was a very skilled handmaiden, and she was quick and good. Panpan called her over and asked her for some tips on how to use the iron.

While talking and laughing, someone suddenly came to report that her father was outside the small courtyard!

Panpan was taken aback, and hurriedly ran out to greet him.

Isn't! There was a delicate covered chariot at the door, and the old father had just been helped down from above, and he was in good spirits, and he was happy to see her.

Panpan was pleasantly surprised, and led his father to the room, only to ask with tears in his eyes: "How did my lord know that I was here, and how did I come here?" ”

In this dynasty, "adult" is generally used to refer to parents, uncles and other relatives and elders. The subordinate said that the superior must not use an adult, unless the superior is his parent's relative. Princes and nobles, heads of wealthy clans, chiefs of northern tribes, and some virtuous people can also be called adults. When used as descriptive words, adults, huge people, etc., can also be called adults.

Hearing Panpan say this, the father was stunned and said, "Daughter, don't you know? Recently, Cao Jun, the state chief bookkeeper, accompanied his father to see a doctor whenever he was free. The doctor he invited was very clever, and his father thought that he would definitely not survive this year, but who knew that these days seemed to be good! Didn't you pick it up? ”

After hearing this, Guan Panpan said in horror: "Cao Shujun? Cheng's wife didn't go to Ah Weng? ”

The housekeeper was a little confused: "Cheng's wife? My son, I'm a little confused, what is she looking for me? ”

Panpan was very worried when she heard this, and she didn't know what to do. Is that the end of the murder? But in any case, when I saw my father, I was satisfied even if I died.

The next person came to report that the housekeeper's room had been arranged, and he would have to stay here for a long time in the future.

When packing her father's package, Panpan found another thing that surprised her, her father actually brought the names of the two. The number clearly states that she and her father are both registered in the back eight miles of Tan County, Donghai County.

"This, this...... What the hell is going on? Panpan stammered a little, and said incoherently and tremblingly. This is the household registration of the common people, and the slaves and maids of this dynasty do not have a household registration.

"Oh, don't you think that Longmenli is inconvenient on the outskirts of the city, so you moved your household registration to the back eight miles of the city?"

"I, I think?"

"You're not going to forget about it, are you? Cao Shujun said that you are busy these days, so he will do it. What, what's wrong with this? ”

Guan Panpan rubbed his eyes, and still asked in disbelief: "Eldest brother didn't take my name away?" ”

The old man asked strangely, "Guan Jian?" Didn't he give it to you? ”

It seems that the old man did not know that Guan Jian sold her as a slave, and it was true that she had been a slave. She carefully checked the number again, especially the official certificate, and after confirming that it was correct, she said in her heart: "If there is no special reason, I heard that it is extremely difficult to transfer from slave to concubine, and it seems that Cao Shujun has taken a lot of trouble." ”

Male slaves and female slaves, referred to as slaves, are divided into two types: official slaves and private slaves. If a slave or maid is not freed, she will be a slave for the rest of her life, and she must obey the rules of her master's house. From slave to concubine, from cheap to good, it is called exemption. Since the beginning of this dynasty, the number of dismissals has been frequent and huge, and some of them have even become officials after being dismissed. The most typical example is that Wei Zifu of the Han Dynasty became the queen, and his younger brother Wei Qing became a general; Later Han Cangtou slave Li Shanguan to the prince Sheren, Ninan Taishou.

In the case of private slaves, there are many reasons for exemption, such as the master can take the initiative to exempt, and if the master has children, it can be exempted after the death of the master, and if there is no legal heir after the death of the master, it can be exempted when the slave inherits it. Emperor Shizu has repeatedly issued edicts to exempt those who sell themselves into slavery and those who are slightly enslaved, such as "In May of the second year of the establishment of the martial arts, the edict said: Those who marry and sell their wives and children and want to return to their parents will listen to them arbitrarily, dare to be restrained, and talk about them as a law"; "In May of the seventh year of Jianwu, Jiayin, the edict suffered from hunger and was slightly a slave and wife of Qing and Xu thieves, and those who wanted to stay listened to it. dare to be detained and not returned, and engage in it by the law of selling people"; "In March of the twelfth year of Jianwu, Zhao Long and Shu Min were slightly treated as slaves and maids and self-sued, and the prison officials did not report it, and everything was exempted from being concubines."
