Chapter 208

What's going on with these people?
Instead of blaming Jiang Anning, they all come to blame him. They must be crazy!

Can’t tell right from wrong?

"You, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhao Jiang was furious: "It's clearly Jiang Anning, the vicious woman, who wants to kill me!"

He forcefully lifted up the hand that Jiang Anning was holding: "Open your dog eyes and see, she is the one who is attacking me now, she is being unreasonable! Are you all blind?"

Seeing everyone's contempt, Zhao Jiang thought about it and finally understood where the problem lay.

He hurriedly explained, distancing himself from Zhao Hai and the Zhao family: "My brother is my brother, and I am me."

"What my brother did has nothing to do with me. How can you all be blind and be accomplices to this vicious woman?"

"He killed someone!"

Zhao Jiang wailed, looking at the people around him who were still indifferent, and his defense was completely broken.

"Do you still have a conscience?"

"You just watched me being persecuted by her and did nothing?"

He tried to use morality to blackmail everyone.

Everyone looked at him as if he were a monster.

Later, some people couldn't stand it anymore. Zhao Jiang's words were too dirty.

"You better hurry up!"

"Why did you get beaten up? You don't know what's going on?"

"I think the young lady didn't hit you too hard!"

"Deserve it!"

The people around immediately echoed: "Yes, you deserve it!"

Zhao Jiang was stunned.

Why did he deserve it?
He was about to burst into a rage, accusing these people of their prejudice.

Then he heard someone scolding and scorning: "Sure enough, if they are not from the same family, they will not enter the same door. He still has the nerve to distance himself from Zhao Hai. I think he is not much better than Zhao Hai!"

"As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together! Like father, like son, they all follow their roots!"

"A red bird becomes redder if it is close to a red bird, and a black bird becomes blacker if it is close to a black bird. There is nothing wrong with this saying. How can a person from a family like that be good? Look at how he immediately shirks responsibility and distances himself from the matter when he sees that the wind is blowing in the wrong direction. Isn't he just like his crooked father? Zhang is also unlucky to marry into such a family!"

"Can this be washed away? Zhang Shi herself is not a good person, otherwise why didn't she divorce, but chose to go along with the Zhao family? It shows that she is born a bad embryo and a wicked woman!"

"Zhang may not have always been so shrewd and calculating, but she must have been influenced by those bad guys in the Zhao family! As for the divorce, it's easy for you to say. Look at this, Zhang has at least given birth to three children for that bastard named Zhao. How can you ask her to divorce? Even if she is willing to give up the Zhao family's bastards, what about the children? Can she strangle her own children to death? Are you so cruel as to do that?"

"What you said is all far-fetched!"

As the argument went on, things gradually became more radical and they began to debate whether Zhang was innocent and whether a divorce was really that easy.

Zhao Jiang: …

Are these people sick?

Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? You are all blind and can't see that Jiang Anning is grabbing him by the collar and he is about to suffocate?

He doesn't have any sympathy at all and condones the evil woman's crimes. He is just like her!

They are all vile things from evil women!

But he was really pissed off...Just as he thought of this, the people who were arguing with him suddenly stopped arguing and started cursing at him again.

"What despicable thing did you just do? Don't you know it? How dare you pretend to be innocent here!"

"I think, Miss Jiang, I didn't hit you lightly!"

"If it were me, I would tear your eyes off and throw them on the ground and stomp them to pieces!"

As the man spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was really going to go up and beat someone up.

Zhao Jiang was even more confused.

What did he do?

Why is he so hated by God and so popular, and everyone wants him to be punished?

It seemed like he had no memory of what had just happened, which was why Jiang Anning suddenly slapped him in the face.

I really don't remember.

Zhao Jiang's bewildered look irritated the onlookers even more.

"This kid, is he trying to say that he is innocent and that he did nothing and said nothing?"

He did nothing and said nothing!
Zhao Jiang looked at the crowd, all of whom were looking at him with contempt, and became angry and embarrassed.

You bunch of unruly people, what do you mean by looking at me like that?
"A beast like this who acts like a hooligan in the street and attacks a woman should be dragged to the pig cage!"

"Yes! Beating him to death is not an exaggeration!"

"He actually has the nerve to call us troublemakers. I think he is the biggest troublemaker!"

Everyone was talking at once, all accusing and scolding Zhao Jiang. Zhao Jiang looked confused and shocked.

I even wondered if I had lost my memory. Otherwise, why was my mind such a mess and I had no idea what was going on?
He, he didn’t do anything?

I just came here to scold Jiang Anning, how did it cause such great public outrage?
And...how did they know that he had just cursed them in his heart as troublemakers?

Zhao Jiang panicked.

I even thought of supernatural stories.

"What on earth do you mean? Explain clearly, what did I do to you?"

He pretended to be calm and questioned the people around him.

I was so nervous.

Jiang Anning, the only one who knew the truth, lowered his head slightly, hiding the excitement that was rising in his heart.

Just now, the barrage suddenly reminded her that she had upgraded, and gave her an upgrade reward——[Reading Minds and Eating Melons]

Although she didn't understand what upgrading meant, nor did she know what reading minds and eating melons meant, it didn't prevent her from understanding it roughly from the literal meaning.

Moreover, it was after he redeemed this reward that Zhao Jiang's image completely plummeted.

She thought the reward was amazing!

Because after the system prompted her that the reward had been successfully redeemed, she and the people around her were able to hear what Zhao Jiang was thinking.

It's absolutely magical!
Therefore, when Zhao Jiang looked at her with an obscene expression just now, the vulgar thoughts and rogue logic in his mind were all heard by the onlookers.

Not to mention, this beast took the opportunity to take advantage of her, but she caught him and slapped him in the face.

With Zhao Jiang's inner thoughts exposed, no one felt that this rotten guy was worthy of sympathy.

The crowd angrily criticized Zhao Jiang for his shameless and vulgar behavior, and no one dared to stay any longer. They covered their heads and fled in embarrassment.

"What on earth was he saying when he was yelling here just now?"

"I don't know. I wasn't paying attention. It sounded like a dog barking."

"It seems that the general meaning is to accuse the young lady of the Jiang family of betrayal, first harming their Zhao family, and then harming the people of their village."

"The evil things their family did were so shameless. Could it be that they were wronged?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Who knows? We are not from Jiangjia Village, how can we know the reason?"

“No comment without knowing the full story.”

"What else is there that we don't know the whole story about? The government's notice has been posted. Could it be that the government is colluding with the young lady from the Jiang family, speaking for her and discrediting the Zhao family?"

"That's right. We have witnesses and evidence. It's impossible that the county magistrate has wronged the Zhao family, right? People can lie, but can evidence also lie?"

"Why can't I do that?"

Seeing that the crowd was about to start arguing again, Jiang Anning suddenly had an illusion that no matter what the crowd said, as long as you put forward an opinion, someone would come up with a new opinion to refute your opinion.

Regardless of whether your point of view is correct or logical.

There will always be someone who will refute you just for the sake of refutation.

Just like it is now.

The crowd had already begun discussing how likely it was that the county magistrate was his second uncle.

"So what if the government says it? Is what the government says correct?"

"Does anyone know if the county magistrate has any connection with Jiang Anning? Maybe the county magistrate has a crush on Jiang Anning and wants to marry her as a concubine, so he set up this trap, forged evidence, wrongly accused the Zhao family, and then took her home as a matter of course!"

When the conspiracy theory came out, everyone was shocked. They looked at each other in silence, wondering whether it was true or not.

Someone refuted him: "The evidence is irrefutable, even Zhao Hai, the person involved, has pleaded guilty. How come you, a passerby, seem to know the truth better than Zhao Hai, the person involved?"

"Evidence? What is evidence? How do you know that the so-called evidence was not obtained by torture? Throughout history, aren't there many cases of fabricating facts like this? Only fools like you would believe whatever others say!"

The man snorted coldly and said condescendingly: "Anyone who thinks carefully will not easily believe such flawed evidence!"

"I think, in all likelihood, Zhao Hai was wronged. He was just powerless, was schemed against, and had no way out of the abyss."

He sighed and said, "How pitiful! My fiancée was so ostentatious and shameless, showing her face all day long. She attracted the attention of the county magistrate and was forced to bear the crime of murder for money."

He spoke as if it were a true story, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. The county magistrate had people frame Zhao Hai, wrongly accused Zhao Hai, and tortured Zhao Hai and his family into confessing.

"You are slandering me out of thin air. Do you have any evidence? If you are talking nonsense here without any evidence, be careful or the county magistrate will sue you for defamation."

"That's right! How many heads do you have to be chopped off for slandering an official of the imperial court?"

There were also those who simply didn't believe it and directly refuted it out loud.

When he heard that he was going to lose his head, the man felt guilty for a moment, and was afraid that these people would really send him to the government.

However, facing the accusations and insults from so many people, I felt rebellious.

He stiffened his neck and refused to admit defeat, "I am only telling the truth! You people just cannot bear to hear the truth. You live in a false dream all day long. You always think that those people in the government who are in control of the dark are so righteous and care about the people. You just refuse to accept the facts."

"Forget it. I won't argue with you self-deceiving fellows."

As he said this, he looked around and hurriedly wanted to run away.
