Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!
Chapter 89 Accusations
This was all utterly absurd. Rape of an innocent man? She felt more wronged than Dou E.
Five constables came to arrest Zhongtian. Zhongtian considered for a moment whether she could take them all down in three minutes, but she still gave in. In any dynasty, it was foolish to try to resist the government.
The constables tied Zhong Tian up very roughly, and the people around watched anxiously and helplessly. Zhong Tian could only tell Xi Chun not to let Mu Ning do anything rash.
It was impossible to keep it from Mu Ning; she could only pray that Xia Mu Ning wouldn't react excessively.
Upon arriving at the yamen, Zhongtian first looked around. The presiding judge was an official from the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, surnamed Zhao, who was looking at her with an iron face. Kneeling in the hall were familiar faces: Zhou Qiao and her husband, as well as Zhou's younger brother, who was crying miserably. Standing next to her was Xia Lan, who, because of her noble status, had been given a chair. Seeing Zhongtian bound hand and foot, she felt very pleased.
As soon as Zhongtian entered the main hall, Zhou Qiao rushed over aggressively, intending to hit him. He reacted too quickly, and the constables were unable to stop him for a moment. This Zhou Qiao was a rogue and a scoundrel; if he hit Zhongtian, Zhongtian's face would probably be swollen.
But Zhongtian reacted even faster. The foot that wasn't restrained immediately retaliated, kicking Zhou Qiao out of the yamen hall.
Everyone looked at each other.
It took Zhou Qiao a while to get up from the ground. She felt embarrassed, but she didn't dare to go forward and act aggressively. She pulled her younger brother, who was crying and panting, and pointed at Zhong Tian to accuse him.
“Lord Zhao, this Zhongtian is no good. Seeing that my younger brother is weak and incompetent, he actually sneaked into my younger brother's room at night and raped him.”
“My younger brother is a fool. He didn’t say anything until my husband found out he was pregnant. We forced him to tell us the truth. I never expected that Madam Zhong, who looks so respectable, is actually a beast in human clothing.”
Zhou Qiao's husband knelt beside her. Perhaps because of the official's authority, he didn't dare to raise his head and could only nod repeatedly, echoing, "What my wife says is true, it is true."
Zhou Qiao became increasingly angry as she spoke, pointing at Zhong Tian and cursing, "This Zhong Tian is also a scumbag. Besides harming my brother, he has also harmed others."
"That textile factory is also a den of iniquity, where all sorts of people are shoved in. All the men there come from brothels. What would Zhongtian do? Of course, he'd have one man a night and party every night!"
As Zhou Qiao finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes filled with lewdness, "Please, Your Excellency, rid the people of this scourge!"
After saying this, Zhou Qiao looked at the crowd of onlookers. The government allowed the public to watch when it held court. Zhou Qiao thought she would hear the people's accusations against Zhong Tian, but when she quietly turned her head to look, the people were all staring at her gloomily. A few of them had short tempers and would have rushed up to hit her if their families hadn't stopped them.
Zhou Qiao felt a little flustered; this was completely different from what she had expected.
Lord Zhao picked up the token in his hand and gave the order: "Bring the textile factory workers over here."
"Yes!"
While waiting, Zhou Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground, turned to Zhong Tian and said, "You're dead!"
Zhongtian knelt on the ground, feeling a little bored, wondering what Xia Muning's reaction would be now that she knew.
Before long, all the male workers from the textile factory arrived. But surprisingly, almost all the prominent figures in Qingfeng Town were there.
As soon as they entered the government office, they pointed at Zhou Qiao's nose and started cursing.
"Zhou Qiao, you heartless wretch! This is clearly my distant cousin, an innocent man, and you have tarnished his reputation for no reason."
"...This is my younger brother."
"This is my father's cousin..."
"This is my childhood friend, someone I've known since I was little..."
The men in this textile factory are all honest and upright men from respectable families. If you say that this textile factory is a den of iniquity, the people of Qingfeng Town will be the first to disagree.
Nakata smiled! This was exactly what she had expected.
The textile factories in Qingfeng Town, thanks to Zhongtian, have made a fortune, providing employment for everyone and making every family wealthy. The cotton dolls have become the signature product of Qingfeng Town, and in the eyes of the people of Qingfeng Town, these cotton dolls are like golden dolls.
Zhongtian and Qingfeng Town are a community of shared interests.
Even if Zhongtian did something outrageous, the people of Qingfeng Town would cover it up for her in every way possible. Besides, Zhongtian did nothing wrong and is completely innocent.
Zhou Qiao was furious!
She kicked Zhou Xiaodi, who was cowering beside her, to the ground: "Tell me, what happened?"
Zhou Xiaodi touched his body, which was a little sore from kicking, and glanced at Zhongtian. Zhongtian's eyes were wary, unfamiliar, and defensive, but there was not a trace of remorse or love in them.
He pursed his lips, tears welled up in his eyes, and began to recount his story in fits and starts.
“That day, Young Master Yue rewarded us with some food with meat on it. I couldn’t bear to eat it, so I took it back and gave it to my sister.”
"After giving it to my sister, she touched my hand and praised me. I then happily went back to the textile factory to rest."
"I don't know why, but that night was unusually quiet. My brothers were all sleeping soundly. Before, if I made even the slightest noise, I would be scolded. But that night, I accidentally broke a teacup on the table, and not a single person woke up."
Zhongtian realized which day it was. That night, the food that Le Wentao brought them contained sleeping pills, and everyone slept soundly.
"Brother Zhou continued."
"I was overjoyed and was about to go to bed when I suddenly heard Manager Zhong's voice. She called me out, and although I was surprised, I still came out."
"It was pitch black outside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Suddenly I felt someone cover my eyes and drag me to a deserted place!"
As he said this, he glared at Zhongtian with hatred. "She called me 'baby' and said she would take responsibility for me. That night, I gave in to her. I thought she would be a good person, but who knew that she would turn her back on me as soon as she got out of bed and would still be as cold to me as ever."
That night, the crisp sound of the chastity lock made Zhou Xiaodi lose his most important chastity. He thought that Zhong Niangzi was interested in him. Although the two had made love, Zhong Niangzi should take him as her husband. But no, nothing happened. Zhong Tian treated him the same as always.
Zhongtian wanted to argue that she was with Le Xingxi that night and was locked in the house, so she didn't have time to rape a man.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he stopped himself from saying them.
Le Xingxi told others that he was alone in the room and that Zhongtian rescued him after he jumped into the water to escape. If this is refuted in court, it will have an extremely negative impact on Xia Xingxi.
“Lord Zhao, I was sleeping in my room that night.” She then approached Zhou Xiaodi and questioned, “Zhou Xiaodi, where did I get the key to your chastity lock from?”
Zhou Xiaodi looked at Zhongtian and suddenly screamed shrilly, "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Zhongtian, you actually won't admit it!" He cried and shouted, "Zhongtian, you're not human!"
The government office was immediately thrown into complete chaos.
Lord Zhao slammed his gavel: "Quiet!"
Zhou Xiaodi knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with despair. He pleaded tearfully, "Sir, I am willing to undergo the finger-crushing torture! To prove that everything I said is true."
