The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 362 Full of Turmoil

Zhao Tianming was unconvinced and wanted to make another move, but then he heard Zhao Beixing's anger.

"Zhao Tianming, aren't you ashamed enough? Stop making a scene here. Chen Er has grown too big for his britches. We're on his turf now, so we'd better behave ourselves. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as just apologizing."

Zhao Beixing's voice was incredibly turbulent, as if he hadn't been the one who had just embarrassed himself. However, anyone could hear the icy chill in Zhao Beixing's voice. It was clear that Zhao Beixing had already remembered Chen Er in his heart. As long as Chen Er made a mistake and fell into Zhao Beixing's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhao Tianming's old face was twisted and deformed. Under pressure from Zhao Beixing, he could not say anything more. Originally, Zhao Beixing wanted to leave with his people, but he heard Chen Er say calmly.

"Lord Zhao Beixing, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Wang Dawei's matter hasn't been resolved yet. Now, in front of you, I'm going to convict Wang Dawei."

Upon hearing Chen Er's words, Zhao Beixing's eyes narrowed into slits. He hadn't expected Chen Er to actually target Wang Dawei. Regardless of how successful Wang Dawei's family business was, he was backed by Sun Yunhe, one of the Five Tiger Generals. Did Chen Er really intend to break ties with Wei Zhongxian?

However, this is also what Zhao Beixing wants to see. When Chen Er offends Wei Zhongxian, no matter how capable Chen Er is, no one will dare to support him. Even if Chen Er has the Embroidered Uniform Guard behind him, such a weak force is worlds apart from the Eastern Depot.

Upon realizing this, Zhao Beixing was overjoyed.

But on the surface he remained calm.

"Chen Er, Wang Dawei is not someone you, a first-rank official, can touch. Let me tell you, don't think that just because you've become an official you can be arrogant. The waters here run deep. What can you do to Wang Dawei?"

No one expected it. Chen Er was going to sentence Wang Dawei to death, and judging from Chen Er's confident demeanor, it seemed as if Wang Dawei was about to be executed today. Zhao Beixing hadn't even spoken yet.

Standing next to Zhao Beixing, Zhao Tianming suddenly burst into laughter, shaking his head repeatedly and looking at Chen Er with disdain.

"How dare you! You want to sentence Wang Dawei to death? Do you know what you're saying? Who is Wang Dawei? He's not someone you can mess with. Let me give you a piece of advice: young man, don't be too impulsive, or you won't even know how you died."

As soon as Zhao Tianming finished speaking, Zhao Beixing tugged at Zhao Tianming's sleeve and kept winking at him. Zhao Tianming was a little confused and wondered what Zhao Beixing was up to.

"Sir, what happened to your eyes? Were you injured during the battle just now? Are you alright?" Zhao Tianming asked instinctively.

Zhao Beixing twisted Zhao Tianming's muscles in frustration before lowering his voice to speak.

"How could you be so foolish? Chen Er killing Wang Dawei would be of immense benefit to us. Just think about it. Once Chen Er kills Wang Dawei, do you think Sun Yunhe from the Eastern Depot would let Chen Er off so easily?"

"Moreover, I already sent someone to tell Sun Yunhe what happened here when I came here. I estimate that it won't be long before Sun Yunhe brings his men to cause trouble for Chen Er. Then we can sit back and watch the tigers fight. Wouldn't that be great?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianming couldn't help but give Zhao Beixing a thumbs up before flattering him.

"Your Excellency is truly wise. I am completely in awe. I didn't quite get it right away, but Wang Dawei is my friend, and I just watched helplessly as Chen Er killed him."

Zhao Tianming was right. He had received a lot of benefits from Wang Dawei during his year in the company. Whether it was women or money, Wang Dawei had never treated Zhao Tianming unfairly. Therefore, Zhao Tianming really didn't want Wang Dawei to die here.

"Can't you use your brain a little? Don't just focus on immediate gains, think about long-term development, otherwise you'll end up achieving nothing in your life," Zhao Beixing angrily berated Zhao Tianming.

The man was filled with embarrassment: "Your Excellency is right. I've figured it out now. As long as we get rid of Chen Er, Wang Dawei is nothing. Moreover, this way we can also give Sun Yunhe some face, and our relationship with the Eastern Depot can be eased in the future."

Although both voices were equally powerful, Chen Er still heard them. Chen Er did not change his mind because of this. Even after he became an official, many people still looked down on him and were all looking forward to making a fool of himself. Now that he had executed Wang Dawei first, he could give the ordinary people a sense of reassurance.

A group of people walked into the government office. To Chen Er's dismay and anger, Wang Dawei actually stood up from the ground and was chatting and laughing with Wang Tianya, as if the two of them were innocent.

"Who told you two to stand up? Kneel down before me! You were just acting like it was your own home, how dare you do this!"

Chen Er's eyes were practically spitting fire. He ran up and kicked Wang Dawei in the butt.

Wang Dawei cried out and immediately knelt on the ground, looking like he had fallen quite hard. As for Wang Tianya, his legs were already weak with fear, and he knelt on the ground on his own initiative, then said with a mournful face.

"Chen Er is, after all, a local official. How could you treat me like this? I will remember what happened today. If I have the chance, I will definitely visit you again."

Wang Tianya's words had a very clear meaning: he wanted Chen Er to wait for his revenge. Once Wang Tianya caught Chen Er in the act, he would definitely do everything in his power to destroy him. Chen Er didn't care at all; he found these people just annoying.

"Chen Er, I feel a stomachache, I'm going back first. Besides, it's just accidentally killing a peasant, right? My family has plenty of money, just tell me how much you want." Wang Dawei looked smug, never expecting anything from Chen Er.

Besides, when the people from the Eastern Depot arrive, Wang Dawei will not only take back the depot, but also have Sun Yunhe kill Chen Er. Chen Er is just a first-rank official, nothing to worry about. After hearing Wang Dawei's words, Chen Er immediately laughed.

"Wang Dawei, I think you still lack self-awareness. Do you think that killing someone and paying a little silver can make it seem like it happened? You really don't value human life at all." Chen Er's words were extremely cold.
