The shameless female county magistrate shocked the government and the public
Chapter 17: Begging for Food
Yu Jiuer rolled up her sleeves. If she couldn't get to the bottom of the matter today, she would be unworthy of being a time-traveling girl.
"Why do you have such expressions when talking about stealing people from the coastal areas of the Western Regions? Aren't the slaves on the coastal areas of the Western Regions also from Yinshan? Is it wrong for me to want to rescue them?"
The eldest lady casually evaded the question by saying, "Your father lost his life because he went to the coastal areas of the Western Regions without knowing his own limitations. You can't just follow him and be foolish!"
"Did father go to the coastal areas of the Western Regions just to rescue the slaves there?" Yu Jiuer followed closely.
The second uncle avoided my gaze and pretended to be unhappy: "Who knows? He told us at the time, why are you asking so many questions? Now we are discussing where to find someone to make a waterwheel."
How could Jiuer, who is as smart as Yu, not know that he was deliberately changing the subject?
She pulled out her trump card: "Why did my father risk his life to go to the coast of the Western Regions? If you don't tell me, I will go to General Cheng and ask him to take me out of the border, through the mountains and ridges, to the coast of the Western Regions to find out the reason myself."
"Bang!" The eldest lady stood up excitedly, slapped the table, and her face turned pale.
Everyone in the room was startled by the sudden noise.
Second Uncle: "Oh" he sighed heavily, sat dejectedly in the chair and stopped talking.
The aunts' faces were filled with sorrow.
This made Yu Jiuer even more confused.
The eldest lady kept twisting the handkerchief in her hand, and finally she slowly explained the reason:
"Forty years ago, people from the Western Regions invaded the Northwest from Yinshan Mountain, arrested the Yinshan people and made them their slaves. They abused the Yinshan people in every way, causing many Yinshan people to die."
Yu Jiuer interrupted: "That's not right! Didn't the court say that it was the Yinshan people who betrayed their country and colluded with the Western Regions to come in? How could they abuse their allies? Are they destroying the bridge after crossing the river?"
"Yes! If they are allies, then why did the people of the Western Regions capture the people of Yinshan as slaves and humiliate them? We don't know either.
After the people from the Western Regions were driven away, the imperial court sent people to investigate. We were all young at the time, and we only knew that our parents could not produce evidence to prove their innocence, and in the end they could only be demoted to slavery to build the Great Wall to atone for their sins. "
Yu Jiuer was stunned. How could the emperor not understand such a problem that anyone with a discerning eye could understand? How could her father not understand it?
But the Yinshan people were demoted to slavery and had to work as slaves for ten years to atone their sins, so now she has to continue to abide by the Yinshan Contract, work hard on scientific expeditions, and work hard on farming in order to preserve the hard-earned freedom of the Yinshan people.
If she dies one day and there is no one to succeed her as county magistrate, the people of Yinshan will have to continue to be slaves!
My brother, who studied poetry and books so hard, had to die secretly.
How ridiculous! What kind of injustice is this?
My father went to the coastal areas of the Western Regions not only to rescue the people, he must have gone there to look for evidence.
He wanted to clear the names of his ancestors, and asked the emperor to abolish the Yinshan Contract and completely eliminate the shadow of slavery from Yinshan County.
This father has the same ideal as her!
She had never enjoyed fatherly love but could empathize with him. In the original owner's mind, she had the memory of her loving father holding her high.
The eldest lady cried worriedly after she finished speaking: "Jiu'er, you can't put yourself in danger! Your father lost his life because he insisted on his own way. You can't follow in his footsteps!"
She was too familiar with the fire flickering in Jiuer's eyes at this moment. Her husband was the same back then. He abandoned them and never came back.
Yu Jiuer breathed heavily. She didn't want to continue paying for this false accusation, did she?
She also wants fairness and the truth!
She understood that her elders did not want to talk about the invasion from the Western Regions, fearing that she would be like her father and go to the coast of the Western Regions regardless of the danger!
"Please rest assured, mother. I won't do anything I'm not sure of! I promise I won't do anything rash!"
Yu Jiuer first comforted the mistress of the house who was worried about Yinshan County.
In her early years, in order to have an heir for the Yu family and to have someone to inherit the position of Magistrate of Yinshan County, the eldest lady, who was unable to give birth to a son, resolutely married four concubines for her father one after another.
Doesn't she love her father?
No, Yu Jiuer could tell from her nostalgic look on her face when she was reminiscing about her father that she loved her father more than herself!
How could she bear to make such a mistress worry again?
Yu Jiuer recalled that when the Western Regions invaded Yinshan County, they left behind a large number of books. The original owner had seen them in the county government library, and they seemed to be all in English.
If that's the case, then wouldn't she have the confidence to pretend to be someone from the Western Regions and sneak into the coastal areas of the Western Regions?
How could a simple English stump a genius doctor like her? With her superb makeup skills, wouldn't it be easy for her to pretend to be a person from the Western Regions?
Thinking of this, Yu Jiuer couldn't sit still any longer and immediately ran to the library.
The county government library collected all the books in the county and was usually open to the public. However, as the people were busy making a living, few came to read books.
Yu Jiuer went in and went straight to the highest dust layer, and sure enough, she found a lot of books covered with thick dust.
I took a few books and opened them. They were all in English. The Western language was indeed English.
Without bothering to dust it off, she casually flipped it open and discovered that there was quite a bit of content, even comics.
Yu Jiuer also found a note in one of the books, with the words "Why call me a slave" written on it in large letters.
Judging from the handwriting, it should have been left by the original owner's father. Why would the father write like this?
Are they speaking up for the Yinshan people who are still slaves in the Western Regions? Or are they feeling aggrieved that the world despises the Yinshan people?
The Western Regions invaded the Yinshan area and stayed here for a full ten years. What did the people of the Western Regions look like? The Madam and the others should still have an impression.
The bad thoughts in Yu Jiuer's stomach were churning again, and she couldn't suppress them!
The idea of overthrowing Japanese imperialism also came with it.
Yu Jiuer went home and asked the eldest lady to take out all her cosmetics.
"Jiu'er, do you want to dress up? You are Wushuang now, a man!"
Old fans began to raise questions.
Yu Jiuer explained as she fiddled with the clothes: "I want to put on makeup to look like someone from the Western Regions. Mother, please help me check if I look like the people from the Western Regions that you have seen before!"
She made her nose bridge higher, her eye sockets bigger, her eyelashes raised, and even her Adam's apple, who was pretending to be a man, was lifted up by Yu Jiuer.
She also found two irons and burned the hair on her forehead into curls, so that the eldest lady's mouth was always open.
"Jiu'er, where did you learn all this?"
Yu Jiuer lied, "I learned it from those Western Region books in the library. I was bored before, so I taught myself the Western Region language according to the pronunciation in the books."
As she spoke, she suddenly spoke a few words in English to the eldest lady: "How are you? Do you understand what I'm saying?"
This shocked the lady even more.
Forty years ago, the Westerners invaded when she was ten years old. They stayed in Yinshan for ten years and did not leave until she was twenty years old. Therefore, she could more or less understand some simple Western dialect.
I didn’t expect Jiuer could speak the Western language?
This idiot who has been ignored by everyone is actually a treasure?
Oh my god!
They have been begging for food while having a golden bowl?
