Chapter 21: The Slave of Sin
Yin Qi'an watched Gongpu disappear in front of him, and showed a meaningful smile.
She was sure that Gongpu was absolutely deliberate, and entering the palace as the daughter of a sinner would definitely bring a lot of trouble to her actions.
This public tree can sit in the position of the national teacher in such a short time, and it is not a simple character.
The criminal slave is a special identity of the prisoner, which mainly appears in the official family and is implicated by the head of the family or the young family group, and the direct family members are called the criminal slave.
During the period of servitude, the criminal slave is completely deprived of the right to liberty, participates in the arrangement of labor or service, and at the end of the fifteen-year period, he can apply to the Zongren Mansion for a flat bottom, and after the flat bottom, he will be turned into a commoner, and he needs to strictly abide by the three non-rules, that is, he cannot live in Beijing, he cannot do business, and he cannot negotiate with him, which probably means that he cannot live in the capital, cannot participate in trade and business, and cannot discuss current affairs and participate in local politics and law.
Holding a book in his hand, Yin Qi'an's brows were twisted, the world is impermanent, who would have thought that once the once beautiful official eunuch family violated the rule of law, it would bring his family to such a severe punishment, and it is no wonder that so many people would rather choose to commit suicide than be reduced to a criminal slave, which shows how unpopular this identity is in the current world.
"Miss, do you really want to accept the arrangement of that national teacher and enter the harem as a criminal slave?" Qiao Lan put a cup of tea in front of Yin Qi'an, looked at the books on the punishment of the dynasty placed in front of her, and asked softly.
Yin Qi'an picked up the tea and took a sip gently: "If I enter the harem as the daughter of my father Shangshu, even if I can enter the harem, there will be many restrictions on time, and people who are not in the palace are not allowed to stay overnight in the harem, so I think about it, or the identity arranged for me by the public tree is more suitable for my next investigation process." ”
Qiao Lan's eyes dimmed slightly, and she looked at Yin Qi'an's voice a little choked: "But Miss, if you enter the harem as a criminal slave, Qiao Lan will no longer be able to serve by your side!" If you don't have Qiaolan by your side in the future, what should you do! ”
Looking at Qiao Lan's tearful eyes, Yin Qi'an's heart was also a little touched, although she was not really the daughter of Shangshu, she just borrowed her body, but she was still moved by Qiao Lan's heart of the servant.
But what Yin Qi'an didn't know was that the good of the two people was mutual, and during this period of time, Yin Qi'an's respect and protection for Qiaolan was also one of the reasons why Qiaolan liked her so much.
"Qiaolan, you will stay here during this time, and you can't go back to Shangshu Mansion, you also know that if you go back, my father will definitely ask you about my whereabouts, if he knows that I actually entered the harem as the daughter of the city guard, he will definitely be furious, and it will affect my next case." As he spoke, Yin Qi'an took out a money bag and put it in Qiao Lan's hand, and instructed softly.
Qiao Lan looked at the heavy money bag in her hand, nodded lightly, and then said to Yin Qi'an as if she had thought of something: "Miss, I heard that some ladies in the harem specialize in bullying palace maids, and their methods are outrageously cruel. ”
As she spoke, she took out three ingots of silver from the money bag and handed the remaining money bag back into Yin Qi'an's hand: "It's enough for me to have these, you can keep the rest, and send those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods after entering the palace." ”
Yin Qi'an held the money bag in her hand, and her heart suddenly felt a little lost at this moment, she stayed in time for so long, and she was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world and the injustice of the times, but when this emotion was really applied to herself, Yin Qi'an still felt that her mood could not be stopped.
