Reincarnate as a poor widow and bravely fight against the worst scumbag father and evil mother-in-la

Jiang Yuwei was shocked when she heard what Jia Yu said:

"How could this happen? What happened to make the entire village disappear?"

Jia Yu sighed and continued:

"Three years ago, there was a plague in Qinghe County. The imperial court allocated funds for local treatment of the people. But the county magistrate Cao Kangcheng was a corrupt official. He pocketed every penny of the money allocated by the imperial court and tricked the people who were infected with the plague to come to Jiajiagou Village, saying that there was a miracle doctor here who could cure the disease."

As he spoke, Jia Yu's eyes, filled with resentment, began to shed tears.

"How could these people know that what awaited them in Jiajiagou was not a miracle doctor but death? After all the people with the plague in Qinghe County were tricked into going to Jiajiagou, Cao Kangcheng ordered the blockade of Jiajiagou. Then the Ming people poisoned the well water in Jiajiagou, and all the people died overnight. A full 8,000 people died at the hands of Cao Kangcheng!"

As he spoke, Jia Yu began to sob.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly signaled to Tiezhu to untie him first. It was disgraceful that a group of people like them came to someone's house to spend the night and tied up the owner instead.

When Chen Guixiang saw Tiezhu was about to untie Jia Yu, she immediately became unwilling and blocked Tiezhu's way, saying:

"No, we can't untie him. All of us in this room want to leave alive. Now you want to untie him just because of a story. I don't know whether he is a good guy or a bad guy."

After hearing what Chen Guixiang said, Jia Yu cried out in pain:

"This is not a story, this is not a story, these are 8,000 lives, real lives! Where is justice! Where is justice!"

Seeing Jia Yu was very emotional, Jiang Yuwei quickly pulled Chen Guixiang aside and whispered to her:

"Do you understand? This is Jia Yu's home. We are staying here and we have to tie him up. How can this be allowed? You'd better control your unreasonable behavior when you go out. Be careful that Jia Yu will kill you!"

After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Chen Guixiang became a little afraid of Jia Yu. She didn't even dare to look at Jia Yu's face. So she didn't dare to say anything more and could only go back to her room and hide.

Seeing that Chen Guixiang was frightened, Jiang Yuwei quickly signaled Tiezhu to untie Jia Yu.

Seeing Jia Yu's pale and skinny face due to hunger, Jiang Yuwei thought that he must have not had a full meal for a long time. Even his house was deserted and there was no sign of anyone living here, otherwise she would not have brought a group of people to live here.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei took out two buns and handed them to Jia Yu, saying:

"Eat something first to fill your stomach."

Jia Yu looked at the white bread in Jiang Yuwei's hand, then looked up at Jiang Yuwei, then snatched the bread and kept stuffing it into his mouth. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten white bread.

Ever since all the people in Jiajiagou were killed, Jia Yu has been in a daze. He goes out to pick wild fruits to eat during the day and goes home to sleep at night. He doesn't know why he is alive, but there is always a belief in his heart telling him that he must survive. Only if he survives will he have a chance to wait for the day when the villagers of Jiajiagou will be vindicated.

Jiang Yuwei saw him eating and quickly handed him a bowl of water and said:

"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I have more here."

At this time, Xu Qianqian, who had fainted from shock, also woke up. Ning Chunlin was very worried about her, but when he saw her wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help complaining:

"How can you be so timid that you fainted after just one look? Look at Jiang Yuwei, she's not scared at all and she's even giving that poor guy buns to eat."

After hearing what Ning Chunlin said, Xu Qianqian couldn't help but clench her fists. She had tried every means to please Ning Chunlin and wanted to win his heart, but she didn't expect that a casual move by Jiang Yuwei could make Ning Chunlin praise her. She had already given Ning Huaizhi to her, so why was she still thinking about hooking up with Ning Chunlin? Is it because Ning Chunlin's status is different now?

The more Xu Qianqian thought about it, the angrier she became, and her eyes were fixed on Jiang Yuwei.

Jiang Yuwei had no idea that Xu Qianqian would hold a grudge against her just because she gave Jia Yu two buns. At this moment, all her attention was on Jia Yu.

Jiang Yuwei saw Jia Yu finish eating both buns, then she spoke:

"You said your whole village was poisoned, so how come you're okay?"

After hearing this, Jia Yu snorted coldly:

"I hope I'm fine. I went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. When I came back, I found that the whole village of Jiajiagou had been massacred. Even the cats and dogs were gone. Later, I found out the truth based on some clues. I was young and hot-tempered at that time, so I went straight to the government office to seek justice for the villagers. But Cao Kangcheng, that dog official, actually said that I had the plague and wanted to burn me to death in public. Later, I was saved by an uncle."

Jia Yu sighed again and said:

"This uncle's daughter was tricked into coming to Jiajiagou because of the plague and was poisoned to death. The uncle said that I was too young to fight against the government, so I could only accept my fate."

As he spoke, Jia Yu looked around his dilapidated house and said slowly:

"Since then I have been hiding my identity and living a life that is neither human nor ghost."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei also felt sorry for his fate. He could have had a bright future, but was ruined for life by corrupt officials.

Jiang Yuwei looked at Jia Yu and said:

"So what happened to Cao Kangcheng later? Didn't anyone come forward to report him?"

After hearing this, Jia Yu sneered and said:

"Report? Who dares to report him? He used the money earned from human lives to bribe people and buy an official position. He has been smooth sailing all the way and now he has become an official in the capital!"

After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei sighed helplessly, then stood up, glanced at Ning Zixuan, and went to the yard. Seeing this, Ning Zixuan followed her out.

Jiang Yuwei looked around the room, then asked in a low voice:

"You have been in the capital for so many years. Have you ever heard about the plague in Qinghe County three years ago? And the county magistrate Cao Kangcheng?"

Ning Zixuan didn't expect Jiang Yuwei to be so thoughtful. She had clearly believed Jia Yu just now, but she turned around and asked him. So he nodded and said:

"Yes, I have heard of it. I remember the news that the court received was that a miracle doctor passed by here and used the money allocated by the court to cure all those infected with the plague. Later, the plague really did not spread any further, and no one investigated the matter anymore."

After hearing what Ning Zixuan said, Jiang Yuwei clenched her fists and cursed:

"What a dog official!"

Then, Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Zixuan and asked in a low voice:

"Then do you know Cao Kangcheng?"
