The History of the Empress of the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 317 Court Laws
No, Su Nuo shook his head, feeling like he missed something, but he couldn't catch it.

His mind was confused, Su Nuo didn't think about it at all, as long as he knew that his identity as Su Ruojin was suspected, he would be more careful in the future.

"Miss Hongluan, it's time to work."

Su Nuo secretly rejoiced that the person Yu Moling found was Hong Luan, if it were someone else, his identity would be exposed today.

"You're welcome, son."

Hongluan admired this Su Nuo who disguised herself as a man. It is really admirable for a woman to be able to do this.

"It looks like Miss Hongluan is willing to stay in this place of fireworks. If there is any difficulty, if I, Su Nuo, can help, I am willing to help."

Su Nuo also has a good impression of Hongluan, after all, she can bear the pressure of Yu Moling and even helps her hide her identity, it can be seen that she is also a girl who knows how to be grateful and has courage.

It's a pity for such a girl to stay in this place of fireworks. Thinking of the situation when she was rescued that day, this girl has no choice but to be reduced to this point.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Hong Luan just sighed softly, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. It's just that Hongluan is burdened by family affairs and cannot leave her slavery for life. That's the court's law. Hongluan has already accepted her fate."

"Court law?"

Su Nuo was a little puzzled, did this ancient society still have the law of enslaving people for life?

"Yes, Hongluan's father was originally an official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He was framed and convicted of accepting bribes because of the investigation into the loss of disaster relief funds ten years ago. into slavery."

When Hong Luan talked about this, tears were already in his eyes.

"However, Hong Luan never believed that his father would do such a thing. His father was wronged, but he hated Hong Luan for not being able to find out the truth and return his father's innocence."

Hong Luan bit her lips tightly, with hatred in her eyes.

After Hongluan said this, Su Nuo remembered that there was indeed such a law in ancient times. Usually, if one person was convicted, the whole family would suffer, and even the family would be ransacked and the ancestors destroyed.

Like Miss Hongluan, the males are allotted and the females are slaves and prostitutes. Compared with ransacking the family and destroying the ancestors, it is actually not much better.

This kind of living is the real suffering, suffering mental torture all day long, sometimes it is better to die.

He also finally understood why Hongluan wanted to commit suicide that day.

However, since the heavens allowed you to survive, there must have been heaven's intentions. Su Nuo still cherishes life very much.

Isn't there a saying that it is better to live than to die?
Although he sympathized with Hong Luan very much, Su Nuo really had no choice but to sigh in comfort.

"Miss Hongluan, don't be sad. If your lord father is really innocent, and the world is clear, I believe there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed. Therefore, you must live well. Only by living can you wait until that day."

Hong Luan nodded, hiding the sad look on his face.

"Yes, what the young master said is that only by living can there be hope. Even if Hong Luan is trapped here, he must seek justice for his father. When the evidence is collected, even if he sues the Jinluan Palace, he must seek justice for his father and my Du family. !"

Su Nuo appreciated Hongluan's attitude. He wanted to help, but he didn't know how to do it. He could only tell her that if she needed anything, she could go to Yunyishang to find him.

After the two of them finished talking, Su Nuo's clothes had already been changed, and this men's suit in white and gold trim fit Su Nuo very well.
