Chapter 48-48. Self-Saving
The magistrate of Kang County naturally did not want the magistrate to intervene in the case, for fear of mistakes, but he did not dare to disobey the magistrate's order, so he could only bow down: "My lord, the prisoner is here, please feel free."

Tong Zhifu sat down and watched Sai Diaochan and Tian Erya kneeling on the spot with cloth strips stuffed in their mouths.He nodded Sai Diaochan.

The yamen servant immediately removed the strip of cloth from Sai Diaochan's mouth.

The magistrate raised his eyebrows lightly: "Sai Diaochan, I ask you, why did you assassinate me?"

Sai Diaochan was beaten all over her body, but she still couldn't hide her beautiful appearance, with a look of hatred in her almond eyes: "Officer dog, I only regret that I didn't kill you with one blow."

"I used to work in the imperial palace, but recently I was released here as the magistrate. I have never met you. Why do you have such a big hatred for me?"

Sai Diaochan gritted her teeth: "Tongbat, what you have suffered should have been borne by your father and grandfather."

Tong Bat was taken aback: "You have enmity with my father and grandfather?"

"My ancestors were officials in the Ming Dynasty, and my family has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations. Your grandfather and your father once slaughtered the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, and my family was also brutally murdered. I hate it. I am a weak woman who cannot enter the strict management. The capital, kill the dog emperor and your family. Since you have come here, I will naturally kill you, so that your family can also taste the pain."

Tong Bat's face changed: "So you are a descendant of an official of the Ming Dynasty. The rumors are true, you are a key member of the Tiandihui, an anti-Qing Fuming organization, and a thief who conspired against the imperial court!"

Sai Diaochan was disdainful: "Hmph, what is anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty? The Ming Dynasty should have existed forever, and it was you Qing dogs who took advantage of a moment of luck to occupy our country and plunder our territory."

"When death is imminent, how dare you speak hard!" Tongbat's handsome face showed a murderous look, and he waved his hand to let the cloth be stuffed back into her mouth. A thief from Qing Fuming?”

Kang Zhixian interrupted: "Yes. She is familiar with Sai Diaochan, and she is the one who provided Sai Diaochan with the murder weapon."

"Since that's the case, you should sentence them to death, and I will tell the emperor to execute these two wicked witches."

Zheng Yuansheng was shocked, and frequently gave Tian Erya winks in the crowd.

Tian Erya realized that this was her last chance, she struggled hard and let out a whining sound.

Tong Bat was a little surprised: "This woman seems to be dissatisfied with my judgment. Does she have something to say?"

The magistrate of Kang said: "Sir, this woman is as stubborn as Sai Diaochan, and she is a thief who firmly opposes the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty. Please ignore her. Please rest in the back hall."

Tong Ba Te nodded, stood up and walked in.

Tian Erya arched her body and moved forward vigorously, and fell at the feet of the magistrate, making a louder whining sound.

Kang Zhixian kicked her: "Someone, pull her down and throw her into the dungeon."

"Slow down!" Seeing the woman on the ground struggling desperately, with tears in her eyes, Tongbat squatted down, "This woman, do you have any grievances?"

Tian Erya nodded desperately.

Tong Bat stood up: "Remove the cloth strip from her mouth."

The magistrate of Kang wanted to stop her: "My lord, she has already made a confession."

"Ok?"

"Yes." Seeing that the magistrate was angry, the magistrate of Kang ordered someone to tear off the strip of cloth from Tian Erya's mouth.

Seeing a chance to speak, Tian Erya shouted loudly: "My lord, I am wronged. I am a woman who fled from the countryside. I am really not Sai Diaochan's partner. I have only met her twice. I am really illiterate and do not understand. Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty."

Kangzhi County angrily reprimanded: "Tian Erya, you dare to overturn the previous confession, openly lie in the lobby, and deceive the court officials. Come on! Give her thirty big slaps first!"

"Slow down!" Tong Bat stopped, "Master Kang, what are you in a hurry for? It's not too late for you to beat her after I finish asking."

Kang Zhixian's majestic face instantly turned flattering: "Yes, my lord, please ask."

Tongbat looked at Tian Erya, her skin was black and yellow, her finger joints were thick, she looked like a poor woman doing rough work, completely different from Sai Diaochan.She can be said to be the most vulgar woman he has ever seen, leaning back in disgust: "This woman, are you really Sai Diaochan's accomplice?"

Tian Erya saw him as a savior, and took two steps on her knees: "My lord, I am really not her partner. I have met her twice in total. The first time, it was the young masters from the rich family who teased me, writing a letter that I owe you ten taels of silver, A note signed as an idiot, I asked for the account from Wu Sheng, a troupe surnamed Liu, and Boss Sai rescued me. The second time, "

Tong Zhifu dodged: "Speak carefully, you don't need to get so close."

"It's my lord. The second time I saw Sai Diaochan, I went to the theater troupe to thank her for helping me out. She saw that I had scars on my hands, so she applied scar cream to me. I told me that I was often injured when blacksmithing, so she asked me where I was. They sell high-quality scissors. I say Longshunhe in this county sells the best scissors."

Zheng Yuansheng raised his heart, fearing that Tian Erya would talk about the third brother again, if the third brother was involved, the Zheng family would hate her and also hate himself.

Tian Erya didn't intend to involve others, but just stated her own grievances: "My lord, I just recommended the scissors to Sai Diaochan, but I didn't know that she would use the scissors to assassinate my lord. If I knew her purpose, give me the courage to do so Don’t dare to participate in the murder of court officials.”

Tong Bat thought about it: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes. If I lie, there will be a thunderbolt from the sky."

"Are you really not a member of the Tiandihui?"

Tian Erya felt wronged: "No, I don't even know what the world will be."

Tong Bat ordered: "Remove the cloth strip from Sai Diaochan's mouth and let her confront this woman."

The yamen servant stepped forward and took out the cloth strip from Sai Diaochan's mouth.

Sai Diaochan was full of disbelief, looked at Tian Erya and shook her head: "You are such a fool, you will not hesitate to lie for your life. Do you dare to say that you really don't know the Heaven and Earth Council?"

Tian Erya was in a hurry: "Boss Sai, don't spout blood. I really didn't lie. I really don't know what the world will be."

Sai Diaochan held her head high: "You don't know about the Heaven and Earth Council, and you don't know that it is going to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?"

"Anti-Qing Fuming, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Kang Zhixian also didn't believe her words: "Tian Erya, you really don't know Tiandihui, an underground organization?"

"I really don't know. Our family lived in a small village next to the Yellow River before. We were busy farming and blacksmithing every day. We didn't have money to go to school, and we didn't know any organizations."

"If you don't have money to go to school, you can also go to the street to listen to books or sing operas. You will always hear about the Ming Dynasty and the Tiandihui. How dare you deceive this official? Are you willing to tell the truth if you have to be sentenced? Come!"

Tian Erya was frightened out of her wits, and hurriedly kowtowed: "My lord, women dare not lie, women are busy farming, blacksmithing, and doing housework every day, from dawn to dusk, and rarely deal with others. I really don't know why Chaohe Tiandihui."

Kang Zhixian didn't believe her words at all: "You fled all the way, and you haven't heard anyone mention it?"
