The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 111 Slavery

In other words, Chen Er had effectively ended the existence of slavery, and the employment contracts were all signed every six months. So why did the girl behind him run away?

"Nonsense! I'm not a maid of your Li family. Your young master kidnapped my mother and me and brought us back to the manor just to bully us," the girl said to the head servant, her face flushed.

"Little girl, you have to take responsibility for your words." Just then, another group of people walked up from behind the group of servants, and the young man with fair skin in the lead said to the little girl.

"It's you! You bad man, you locked up my mother!" the girl shouted. The pale-faced young man's expression changed upon hearing this. Although his family was quite powerful, in a place like the autonomous region where the laws were relatively sound and thoroughly enforced, their power was not enough to protect him. He said to the servants around him, "What are you still watching for? Hurry up and take that little girl back."

The onlookers quickly retreated. Although everyone knew that the young man was breaking the law, no one dared to come forward. Only a few people quietly went to call security.

Chen Er secretly made a few hand gestures, signaling the disguised guards around him not to make a move and to let him handle it. He wanted to see how well the autonomous region enforced the law, so he decided to fight! The result was obvious: how could someone like Chen Er, who possessed extraordinary skills and had crawled out of piles of corpses several times, possibly lose to those servants?

"stop!"

"stop!"

Just as Chen Er approached the young master, the security guards finally arrived. Chen Er couldn't help but smirk, thinking that it would be best if none of the people in this group knew him, otherwise the show wouldn't be so fun.

"Who's fighting here!" a captain stepped forward and asked. (The security guard rank in the autonomous region is the same as the military rank, except that the number of people under their command is different, which is also to enhance the status of the security guards.)

"Brother! It's me, brother!" The pale-faced young man who was almost scared to the ground saw the head security guard and rushed up to the captain.

"Second brother, what are you doing here?"

"Brother, that guy stole my maid and injured so many servants. You must stand up for me!"

The people around were immediately in an uproar when they heard the young man's words. This was bad; nepotism! Nepotism! That man was in trouble now.

"Is that so?" the captain asked Chen Er, frowning. "If that's the case, then please have the Security Bureau make a trip there."

"Wait!" At this moment, another lieutenant security guard walked in from the perimeter and shouted.

The captain said to the lieutenant, "Zhou Jie, this is none of your business."

The lieutenant named Zhou Jie fearlessly addressed the captain, saying, "Li Meng, you're just one rank higher than me. Under the new policy, we're still equals. You have no right to interfere with me. But I received a security report that some scions of powerful families were abducting women and beating innocent civilians in the street. Are you trying to protect criminals?"

As soon as Zhou Jie arrived at the scene, he immediately understood what was going on based on what the security guard had said. The Li family brat had caused trouble again, but this time it seemed he had messed with a tough opponent. All the servants around had been beaten down. As for why Li Meng was here, everyone knew the reason.

Zhou Jie and Li Meng were already at odds, and Zhou Jie also strongly disapproved of Li Meng's actions, which included protecting the Li family members on several occasions. Zhou Jie had no direct evidence to report Li Meng, but now that he had finally caught Li Meng red-handed, especially in front of everyone, he was not going to let Li Meng off so easily.

"Zhou Jie, are you determined to go against me?" Li Meng said with a gloomy face.

Zhou Jie said nonchalantly, "So what? Besides, I, Zhou Jie, am just handling the case impartially."

"Good! Good!" Li Meng exclaimed three times, then shouted to the rear, "Everyone out!" As a company commander, Li Meng had brought all one hundred men under his command, which was a serious abuse of power. Zhou Jie angrily said to Li Meng, "Li Meng, don't think you can do whatever you want just because your father is the leader! This is under the rule of the Prince of Wei, I don't believe you dare to act recklessly!"

"Zhou Jie, now that you're weak and I'm strong, say whatever you want," Li Meng said indifferently, waving his hand. Zhou Jie dared not make a move. He hadn't known they were from the Li family before he came, and had only brought a dozen or so people. Now he was in trouble.

Seeing the two's performance and conversation, Chen Er quickly understood the conflict between them and realized that the other side was slightly better. He chuckled, instantly breaking the silence between them.

Li Meng saw Chen Er and said, "Kid, this is none of your business. You'd better let go of that girl behind you and leave quickly, or you know what the consequences will be."

"Oh, really?" Chen Er said with a sneer. For some reason, Zhou Jie seemed to sense a murderous aura emanating from Chen Er, an aura only those who had fought for years possessed. "Under the rule of the King of Wei, do you dare to unjustly kill civilians?"

"What difference does it make if I kill a lowly commoner?" Li Meng said indifferently.

However, he didn't see the fierce glint in the eyes of the people around him when he said those words, nor the distrust in the eyes of the security guards behind him.

“Sometimes, I really have to admire you,” Chen Er said with a light laugh. “You know what? It’s because of these lowly people you mentioned that you have food, clothes, and shelter! And your damn boss’s father, what was he before he became a boss!”

"Insolence!" Li Meng roared at Chen Er. He wanted to send someone out to control Chen Er, but he found that he dared not give the order no matter what, because they had been surrounded by a group of people holding short flintlock pistols.

"Sigh, my good mood has been ruined," Chen Er sighed. He said to Zhou Jie, "I'll leave things here to you. If you don't understand anything, just ask this guy."

“Ignorance is bliss,” Chen Er sighed, then pulled the girl outside.

Just then, as those men wielding short flintlock pistols ripped off their outer robes, revealing the light armor beneath, Li Meng collapsed to the ground.

Those around were also shocked.

At that moment, Chen Er's voice came from afar: "In my opinion, the lowly people you speak of are the most important people in my heart."

He was all alone in Yuyang City, a solitary figure!

That was Chen Er! The surrounding people were all shocked, followed by cheers! The scourge of Yuyang City had finally met his just end.
