Chapter 353 Involuntary
Chapter 353 Involuntary
As soon as Chen Er finished speaking, everyone fell silent. They felt that the reason this matter was escalating was not accidental at all, but an inevitable result.
That's all related to Chen Er's personality. Chen Er is like a reincarnation of Bao Zheng, and today he has firmly established his beliefs.
They had to stand up for the ordinary people no matter what. Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong exchanged a glance, then sneered and brought up the tiger bench. All the big men were dumbfounded.
They were certainly familiar with the tiger bench; they had no idea how many times it had been used to punish these poor people, yet now it was being used on them.
They felt sweat beading on their foreheads, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. The man looked at Chen Er with lifeless eyes and burst into tears.
"Lord Chen Er, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance to make amends. I will do anything you ask, please don't punish me."
The burly man was genuinely frightened by Chen Er. He hadn't expected that he would accept some silver from Wang Dawei in a moment of impulsiveness, just to teach the old man a lesson and prevent him from saying things he shouldn't have.
But now, unexpectedly, even Wang Dawei is going to fall into this predicament today, so this man is truly regretting it.
Had Chen Er been known to be so cautious, even if Wang Dawei had offered this man a great deal of money, he probably wouldn't have dared to harm the old man.
"It's not too late for you to regret it now. You can atone for your crime by telling me who the other people who did it are. Of course, you don't have to say, but you should know the consequences."
Sweat beaded on the man's forehead as he struggled internally. Although he couldn't bring himself to betray his brothers, things were different now. In this life-or-death moment, brotherhood had been cast aside. The man's sinister gaze lingered on the remaining few men.
He even glanced at the silent guards with swords standing to the side; clearly, some of them were there even yesterday.
Seeing this, Chen Er became even more convinced that there were too many traitors among his men, and that he would have better transfer some people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard to help him.
Moreover, the members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were not only highly skilled in martial arts, but their quality was also beyond question, far superior to these armed guards. The burly man stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at several people. Those whose fingers were pointed at by the burly man felt a chill run down their spines and dared not meet Chen Er's gaze.
These people understood what awaited them and didn't know how Chen Er would punish them. Chen Er nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with the big man's actions.
“Ma Dazhi, apart from this man, all the rest shall be given sixty strokes of the cane, not one less, and from now on they shall be dismissed from their posts.”
Chen Er's words seemed to come from the deepest hell, causing the men who had been named to gasp in shock. They didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy.
They were immediately dragged out by Ma Dazhi and a few others, and given sixty strokes of the cane as a reward. They didn't need to stay in the courtroom; they'd only offend Chen Er's eyes.
The burly man who was the paper doll's good brother felt a little relieved, but then he heard Chen Er's cold voice.
"Don't be too happy yet. I'm giving you an order: Wang Dawei will be given sixty strokes of the cane. If you don't agree, I'll give it to you."
Now look what happened! The man who was all smiles just moments ago now feels like he's been plunged into ice. He never expected that Lord Chen Er would assign him such a treacherous task. Who is Wang Dawei? Putting aside Wang Dawei for now, who is backing him up? Let's first say that Wang Dawei is a wealthy young master.
Then let alone claim that he is a weak bodyguard with a sword, even the county magistrate is like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees Wang Dawei. Now, Lord Chen Er actually ordered this man to beat Wang Dawei with sixty strokes of the cane.
This is almost like forcing this man to commit suicide. Now, facing this man, there are only two paths he can take.
The first option is to disobey Chen Er's orders and not oppose Wang Dawei. If Chen Er fails this time, perhaps this man will be considered one of Wang Dawei's men from now on, and then this man will get money. Of course, there is another option.
That is, this man obeyed Chen Er's order to first give Wang Dawei sixty strokes of the cane. So, unless Wang Dawei is defeated here today, this man will be safe and sound, and may even become a favorite of Chen Er in the future. But in other words, if Wang Dawei is not defeated here today...
What awaited the man was Wang Dawei's endless roars. Now the man seemed to have lost his soul and was a little dazed. Chen Er shook his head and smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to speak, the man suddenly looked at Chen Er with a firm gaze.
"I agree, but I have a small request. If Wang Dawei isn't locked up in a cage today, I want to go home and farm. What do you think, sir?"
After hesitating for a long time, the man finally came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides. It was clear that if Wang Dawei were imprisoned this time, it would be a win-win situation.
With his status, he no longer needed to be afraid of Wang Dawei. If Wang Dawei didn't arrest him, then this man was prepared to give up being a bodyguard and go back to farming.
Although I don't earn much money, at least I can keep my life.
Chen Er hadn't expected the man in front of him to be so cunning. However, this method sounded quite good; at least it gave him a way out and saved the man's life.
So now, Wang Dawei looked at the man with a gloomy face, carrying a heavy board, walking towards him.
Wang Dawei was genuinely a little panicked: "I said you dare? Don't you know who gave you this body? If you hadn't introduced me to a few young ladies back then, do you think you would be a bodyguard with a sword? If you dare to lay a finger on me today, I'll kill your whole family."
The man hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Zichen Er before pretending to ask with a puzzled expression.
"Lord Chen Er, as a bodyguard with a sword, I am being threatened by someone. I wonder if this is a crime?"
