Chapter 327 Sad
Qiaozhen listened to Jiang Zhaoshi finished speaking, let her get up, but sighed in her heart, this is a story of a bully son forcing a pretty widow.

If it's true, it's okay for her to help, but she has too many doubts about this Jiang Zhao family, and she feels that the other party is not that simple.

"Your husband is bereaved, there is an elderly father-in-law to take care of, and there are children to take care of. You can't handle it all by yourself. Wouldn't it be great to have someone help you? Since the young man is from the town, he must be powerful. I will never treat you badly. Why don't you want to."

Qiaozhen asked Jiang Zhaoshi, her expression and tone were calm and tentative.

After Jiang Zhaoshi heard Qiaozhen's words, her face was full of anger, but she calmed down again, and she had to bow her head under the eaves.

If she couldn't bear to leave, what consequences awaited her, she couldn't bear it.

"If grandma is interested, you might as well listen to a story told by the woman. After listening to grandma, you will know why women don't want to be outsiders."

Jiang Zhaoshi calmed down and looked at Qiaozhen quietly.

"Okay, tell me."

Qiaozhen nodded, and she would listen if the other party wanted to talk, because before helping someone, the other party's affairs must be clarified to see if she is worth helping.

"The woman's maiden name is Zhao, and her ancestral home is Linzhou Mansion. Her ancestors have been officials for generations. My father was once a county magistrate of the seventh rank."

Qiaozhen and Chen Xuanyu were a little surprised by Jiang Zhaoshi's words. The other party was not from their place, but she was still a lady from an official family. How could she marry here and fall into such a state?

"Ten years ago, there was a severe drought in Linzhou Mansion, and the crops were not harvested. Within a hundred miles, the land was dry and cracked, and there was no water to eat. My father was stingy with the suffering of the people, and was thinking about asking the imperial court to allocate food for disaster relief. But the imperial court issued an edict , still collect taxes. Because the master Zhizhou above him did not say that Linzhou was severely drought, for fear of ruining his achievements."

Jiang Zhao said this with anger, if it weren't for that dog official, then her family would not be ruined, and she would not be in such a state.

"Father saw that the people in his area had to spend their days on barren grass. There were even those who sold their sons and daughters just for a few buckets of grain. There were also many dead bodies in the wilderness, without even a place to bury them. Life, and paying heavy taxes, isn’t it forcing people to die.”

Both Qiaozhen and Chen Xuanyu fell silent, saying that Jiang Zhaoshi was telling the truth, that would be really hateful.

Some officials did not report the disaster in order to avoid problems in their political performance and promotion, but instead reported good news in an attempt to satisfy the court.

But this has made the people suffer. How many people have been forced to death like this. Such a tragic situation is embarrassing.

"Under such circumstances, my father couldn't bear to impose heavy taxes seeing that the people were struggling to live. He reduced or exempted the court's taxes and ordered the opening of warehouses to distribute grain."

When Jiang Zhao said this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but sigh secretly. According to this, Mr. Zhao is a good official, and he has a good heart. It's a pity that his actions like this are not allowed by the court, and the Holy One will definitely Long Yan was furious, so one can imagine what will happen to him.

"Father saved many people and was praised by the local people, but unfortunately he couldn't save himself. He was played by the dog official, who said that his father committed a crime and disregarded the laws of the country. The emperor was furious and issued an imperial edict, saying Father disobeyed the Emperor Ming and voluntarily used the court's granary to take him back to Beijing for trial."

"When the local people heard the news, they all pleaded for their father. They all knelt outside the government office and submitted a joint letter, asking the Holy Father to reduce his father's crimes. It's a pity that Zhizhou didn't like his father a long time ago. He actually said that those people were Wanting to rebel, saying that my father was instigating people’s hearts, that it was a rebellion and causing trouble, and finally reported it to the court, but the court did not check and demanded that my father be executed on the spot.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhao's shoulders trembled slightly, with deep sadness and resentment on his face, his hands under his sleeves were also tightly clenched, and his nails were pinched in the flesh.

Qiaozhen and Chen Xuanyu glanced at each other. If all this is true, it really makes people feel uncomfortable. It's a pity for a good official who cares about the people.

"On the day my father was beheaded, the people knelt on the ground full of people, but they couldn't stop the official who was about to execute the execution. The executioner couldn't bear to lower the knife, knelt on the ground and cried loudly, saying that the sky has no eyes, why should he murder a good official? The rain and tears, but can't call back the iron heart of the dog official, so my father was beheaded."

"When the mother in the prison heard the bad news, she couldn't stand the blow, and immediately hit the wall and died. The two elder brothers were dispatched to a place of bitter cold. My sister-in-law and I were used as official slaves."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhao's expression is indifferent, but Qiaozhen can feel the sadness in her heart. It is easy to see that her experience as an official slave is not good.

"At that time, my sister-in-law and I wanted to commit suicide, but when my brother left, he told us that the grievances will not be washed away, and that we are ashamed to be the children of the Zhao family, so no matter how difficult life is, no matter how humiliated, we must live."

Looking at the firmness on Jiang Zhao's face, Qiaozhen knew that although this person looks weak and looks like a white flower, he is a person with a firm mind.

"Do you want us to find someone to help your father reverse the case?" Qiaozhen asked what she meant, and she thought this was the real purpose of Jiang Zhao's seeking her.

If she helps her father to overturn the case, then she may get compensation from the court. At that time, as long as she asks, the young master in the town will not be able to touch her, and her siege will be resolved.

Although she agrees that Mr. Zhao is a good official and has indeed been wronged, but this matter is beyond her control, and she is not that capable to overturn the old case ten years ago.After all, there are too many involved.

"No." Mrs. Jiang Zhao shook her head and said, "Father has already overturned the case, and the Holy Spirit has vindicated my father nine years ago."

Qiaozhen was surprised by Jiang Zhaoshi's words, even Chen Xuanyu took a look at Jiang Zhaoshi, and overturned the case after a year, who is so capable to help her?

Qiaozhen really didn't expect it to be like this, has it been rehabilitated?This is not an easy task, it is difficult to do it, how is it rehabilitated.

Besides, if she regained her identity, how would she marry a Zhuangzi? All of this is too strange.

Jiang Zhaoshi saw the doubts of the two of them, and she deliberately didn't talk about the next experience, because it was too humiliating.For her, it was an indelible nightmare.

But don't say, the other party won't help her, for the dead father-in-law, for the father-in-law who is lying on the bed, for her Rui'er, she is willing to go all out.

Jiang Zhao made up his mind, and determination flashed across his face, and he said: "My sister-in-law and I were pretended to be official slaves and sent to the capital. They were bought separately, and my sister-in-law went to a big mansion to be a cook. separated from me."

"When I was fourteen, it was a young son who bought me. He didn't take me back to his house, but placed me in a house outside him. He told me his identity, and I knew , His father is a high-ranking official, ranked second rank, he looked at it pitifully, so he bought me and put it outside to treat him well, because he didn't want me to enter the mansion and be restricted."

"As soon as I heard it, I was moved. At that time, my heart was filled with hatred, and there was only one thought in my heart, which was to reverse the case for my father, and not let him suffer innocent injustice, because he did not rebel. I We can't let him bear such a crime, otherwise we won't be able to meet the ancestors in the underground."

"The young master liked me very much. After hearing about my background, he promised to clear up my father's grievances so that I could restore my innocence, so that he could accept me as a vine, otherwise I would not even be able to be a concubine with such an identity. .”

Jiang Zhaoshi paused when she said that, but there was a look of longing on her face. It seemed that she still liked the young man who helped her at that time.

Qiaozhen took another look at her, she really has a story.

"Although the son wants to reverse the case for my father, he has no official position, so he can only turn to his father for help. He is the only legitimate son in the family, and his father loves him very much. After hearing what he said, although he scolded him for misbehaving, but He couldn't help but begged hard, and finally investigated it."

"After this investigation, he found that the person who framed my father for treason was a subordinate of his enemy. He found an opportunity, found someone to collect evidence, and recruited many people from Linzhou to come to Beijing to file a complaint, and then he wrote it down The Holy One sent someone to investigate, and found out the truth, and actually solved the case for my father."

"I didn't know about these things at the beginning. After my father overturned the case, the Holy One pardoned my two elder brothers' sins and rewarded them with compensation. My elder brother was recalled from the bitter cold, and my sister-in-law and I recovered. We met in the capital, Afterwards, my brother and sister-in-law wanted to go back to Linzhou, and my brother and sister-in-law planned to take me back together, but I was already the son of the son, and I was grateful for everything he had done for me, so I rejected my brother and sister-in-law and told them the truth."

"Brother and sister-in-law met the young master before they left, and they were very satisfied with the young master. Although they don't want me to be a concubine, it is difficult for me to find a good relationship because of my status. They are also grateful for what the young master has done for me. They asked the young master to treat me well."

"My son made a promise to my brother and sister-in-law, and asked someone to choose a good date, because he didn't want to wrong me, and decided to carry me into the mansion in three months."

"Brother and sister-in-law are in a hurry to return to Linzhou, because Linzhou still has a lot of things to settle, and the property rewarded by the Holy Majesty cannot support them to live in the capital for three months, and they are not willing to ask for the son's support, so I let them go back first. Lin Zhou. And I just waited in the courtyard for the day when the young master will carry me into the mansion."

When Jiang Zhao said this, her shoulders couldn't help shaking, obviously she couldn't let go of the past.

"I waited with joy. Although I am not a wife, my son is gentle and considerate, and he is also a young man. I sincerely want to serve him well and repay him."

"But I waited and waited, and what I waited for was not the son, but his father. He took someone to the house, looked at me, and said that I was seductive and bewitching you, and that I was not worthy of entering his house with my status. Let alone a concubine, even a housemaid is not worthy."

Jiang Zhao's face was full of resentment, her fists were clenched tightly, remembering the scene of that day, she still couldn't hold herself back.
