The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 368: Messy

Wang Dawei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He almost wanted to kneel down before Sun Yunhe, but Sun Yunhe had also gained a lot of benefits from Wang Dawei.

Besides, the Wang family is incredibly wealthy and sends a lot of benefits to the Eastern Depot every year. That's why Sun Yunhe would do everything he could to protect Wang Dawei.

Moreover, the two were distant relatives, so Sun Yunhe couldn't just stand by and watch Wang Dawei be sentenced to death by Chen Er. Time passed quickly; once an incense stick burned out, it meant an hour had gone by.

"Wang Dawei, what is your crime? I have given you one hour. You should have thought it over by now. If you dare to spout nonsense and refuse to confess, I have prepared the guillotine for you." Chen Er's words were extremely cold.

Wang Dawei couldn't help but shudder. However, when he thought about what Sun Yunhe had just told him, he knew that as long as he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, Chen Er couldn't do anything to him.

"Reporting to you, sir, Gouzi is indeed one of my henchmen, but I did not take advantage of his cousin. I didn't even know he had a cousin. Gouzi's words are not credible," Wang Dawei earnestly defended himself.

Faced with Wang Dawei's unreasonable accusations, Chen Er immediately laughed: "Actually, I knew you would say that. Sun Yunhe told you all this, right? But since you refuse to admit it, I have ways to make you open your mouth." Chen Er's words gave Wang Dawei a bad feeling.

However, when Wang Dawei saw Sun Yunhe winking at him, he became even more confident.

"Lord Chen Er, I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, Gouzi is spouting nonsense. Please investigate carefully, my lord," Wang Dawei continued.

The dog, kneeling on the ground, trembled uncontrollably: "Wang Dawei, you beast, you coward! I'll smash you to death with one punch!" After saying that, the dog jumped up from the ground.

However, Zhao Tianming kicked him back, saying, "How dare you! This is a courtroom. If you dare to lay a hand on Wang Dawei, you won't have enough heads to chop off." Zhao Tianming immediately threatened.

"Don't panic, you little dog. I believe what you just said is true. Since Wang Dawei is unwilling to agree, then I will find someone else to help," Chen Er said with a smile.

Everyone was pondering the meaning behind Chen Er's words. They wondered if Chen Er had some trump card up his sleeve. Chen Er looked at Sun Yunhe and Zhao Beixing with a puzzled expression. Then Chen Er laughed.

"I wonder if you two have ever heard of Onmyoji? It is said that this profession can communicate with ghosts and summon the ghosts of the dead."

"Since Wang Dawei refuses to admit that he took Gouzi's cousin for himself, why don't we have the Onmyoji bring out Zhang Xiulan and confront her then?" Chen Er immediately explained.

Sun Yunhe and Zhao Beixing exchanged a glance and gasped simultaneously. They had never heard of such a profession before, and where would ghosts come from after someone dies? Sun Yunhe had killed so many people; if ghosts existed, how could he still be alive?

"Lord Chen Er, watch your words and actions! This is the Ming Dynasty! What kind of ghosts dare to run rampant here? If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I can strip you of your dog skin right now!" Sun Yunhe roared.

Chen Er was not bothered by Sun Yunhe's anger; instead, he stared intently at Wang Dawei.

"Wang Dawei, you refuse to admit it, that Zhang Xiulan hanged herself because you took advantage of her. Well then, we'll summon Zhang Xiulan's spirit and let her confront you personally. I don't believe I can't pry open your mouth." After Chen Er finished speaking, he took a look at Ma Dazhi.

"Hurry up and call our distinguished guest up. I want to see what this ghost looks like." Ma Dazhi immediately grinned lewdly and walked out.

At the entrance of an empty alley, Ma Dazhi was followed by an old man: "Brother Dazhi, I am one of the leaders of the Imperial Guards. You want me to play the role of an Yin-Yang Master? I really don't know what your Lord Chen Er is up to."

At this moment, Zhang Xingchen was extremely annoyed. He had originally wanted to find Chen Er to discuss something, but he didn't expect Chen Er to have Ma Dazhi bring him here.

He even changed his appearance; Zhang Xingchen, who was originally broad-shouldered and burly, suddenly transformed into a little old man.

Ma Dazhi immediately comforted Zhang Xingchen, saying, "If I had known it would be this troublesome, I wouldn't have come. I'm being made to play tricks. I wonder what Chen Er is up to?" Zhang Xingchen said helplessly once again.

"Hey, stop complaining. Our boss said that once this is settled, he'll find you two beautiful women to drink with. We've already prepared food, and we can start eating as soon as we get rid of Wang Dawei," Ma Dazhi said again.

"Chen Er, when is your so-called Yin-Yang Master going to arrive? I don't believe in ghosts or spirits. Just for that, I can hold you accountable." Sun Yunhe said with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Er with a sneer.

But suddenly the crowd outside began to stir, and everyone looked at Ma Dazhi and the old man behind him. The old man was quite strong, with very bright eyes. He was holding a flag and looked quite like a wise and venerable old man.

"Sir, I've brought this gentleman to you, and it's cost me quite a bit of money. If he succeeds in bringing Zhang Xiulan's ghost up, you'll have to compensate me handsomely." Ma Dazhi grinned lewdly.

Chen Er nodded calmly: "Sir, are you really confident that you can summon Zhang Xiulan's soul to provide me with clues?" Chen Er knew, of course, that this so-called yin-yang master was played by Zhang Xingchen from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

“That’s right, I have considerable skill. In fact, my ancestors once advised the Emperor on how to govern the country.” Zhang Xingchen’s words immediately angered Sun Yunhe and Zhao Beixing.

"Old man, you can eat as much as you want, but you can't talk as much. The Emperor is not someone you can just point fingers at. For that reason alone, you must stay here today." Sun Yunhe was furious and waved his hand.

Some of his men behind him were about to make a move, but Zhang Xingchen was not afraid and still maintained a superior demeanor.
