The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 457 Sitting and Waiting for Death

So Ma Dazhi wanted to tear Zhao Beixing's head off completely and use it as a football, since it was all Zhao Beixing's doing, even though there was no evidence to prove it.

Zhang Tianfei was sent by Zhao Beixing, but anyone who isn't a fool can see that this matter is inextricably linked to Zhao Beixing.

Just as Ma Da was about to make a move, Xiao, who was standing next to Ma Da, laughed and spoke up.

"Hey, Ma Dazhi, Uncle Zhao Beixing is so generous. If we don't accept it, he'll definitely get angry."

"So let's reluctantly accept the things." Xiao Liu's words almost made Zhao Beixing vomit blood.

However, although Zhao Beixing was terrified, things had reached a critical moment, and he couldn't just sit there and wait to die.

When Zhao Beixing saw that Ma Dazhi and Xiao Liu had put the money away, Zhao Beixing immediately smiled.

Zhao Beixing believed that since these two guys had taken the money, he would be completely fine today.

Just as the group was arguing, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the door again, and a eunuch shouted.

"Lord Zhang Shaoqing has arrived! Everyone inside, come out immediately!"

Zhao Beixing had a bad feeling. He didn't expect that Lord Zhang Shaoqing would arrive at this crucial moment, even though Lord Zhang Shaoqing didn't have much power at the moment.

But why choose to come at this critical juncture?

The meaning is quite clear: to put it bluntly, they're here to support Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong. Qin Zhongting could only manage a wry smile.

Qin Zhongting knew perfectly well that this matter had already escalated to an uncontrollable level.

To put it bluntly, there was no way to salvage the situation. The Emperor was already angry, so the consequences were predictable. Zhao Beixing's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Ma Dazhi with a trembling finger and roared.

"You guys are really something, you actually managed to invite Lord Zhang Shaoqing here. It seems you're taking good care of me. Let me tell you something."

"If you want to mess with me, then just cut me off. If you don't uproot me completely, you should know what the consequences will be."

Zhao Beixing can't afford to wait any longer. He needs to make the necessary threats, otherwise he might not even have the chance to threaten anyone in the future.

Upon hearing Zhao Beixing's words, Ma Dazhi burst into laughter, almost to the point of tears.

"Lord Zhao Beixing, we've been through thick and thin together, but in the end, we had different paths and couldn't work together. Besides, you wanted to kill our leader."

You owe us an explanation for sacrificing Zhao Tianming at all costs.

Now, Ma Dazhi believes that everything was done by Zhao Beixing, and that Zhao Beixing wanted to kill Chen Er.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to send out assassins, ostensibly to rescue Zhao Tianming, but actually to kill Chen Er.

Zhao Beixing wanted to explain, but Qin Zhongting stopped him with a look. Qin Zhongting knew perfectly well that this was a critical moment.

How could you reveal Wei Zhongxian's name at such a crucial moment? If Wei Zhongxian hadn't spoken up, he might have been able to lend a helping hand behind the scenes.

If anyone dared to betray Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian alone could probably deal with Zhao Beixing without the emperor even having to lift a finger.

In fact, Ma Dazhi was just saying that to coerce Zhao Beixing into revealing that the mastermind behind it all was Wei Zhongxian. But Qin Zhongting stopped him, which made Ma Dazhi very unhappy.

"Lord Qin Zhongting, yours isn't clean either. The Emperor has already said that you'd better behave yourself, otherwise, you'll have to suffer the consequences."

Ma Dazhi spoke coldly, as if the surrounding air had dropped several times in temperature.

Instead of being angry, Qin Zhongting laughed and clapped his hands, praising, "Ma Dazhi, you're really great. It seems I misjudged you before."

"I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. I don't know if Chen Er changed you, or if this is just your original personality." Qin Zhongting's cold voice rang out.

At this moment, Lord Zhang Shaoqing arrived with a group of people, and Ma Dazhi immediately clasped his hands in greeting to Lord Zhang Shaoqing.

“Lord Zhang Shaoqing, Zhao Beixing refuses to leave and even threatens me, saying that my life is in danger. If this matter cannot eradicate Zhao Beixing completely, he will exterminate my entire family.”

Ma Dazhi said indifferently, of course, he was exaggerating, trying to put some pressure on Lord Zhang Shaoqing.

They wanted Lord Zhang Shaoqing to put Zhao Beixing to death immediately, because if someone like Zhao Beixing stayed in the court for a few more years, he would become another Wei Zhongxian.

In the end, if Wei Zhongxian and Zhao Beixing joined forces, the Ming Dynasty would probably be doomed, which is not the outcome Ma Dazhi wanted to see.

Good heavens! When Zhao Beixing heard Ma Dazhi say that, the muscles on his cheeks kept twitching. Zhao Beixing had never expected that Ma Dazhi would be so shameless.

Desperate to kill him, they embellished the story, revealing everything he hadn't said before.

Of course, Zhao Beixing actually wanted to threaten Ma Dazhi, but he never said it. Now, Ma Dazhi has spoken up for Zhao Beixing.

Before Zhao Beixing could speak, Qin Zhongting immediately retorted.

"Lord Zhang Shaoqing, please investigate thoroughly. Zhao Beixing and I have done a lot for the Ming Dynasty, and we are about to retire."

"But who could have imagined that such a thing would happen at this crucial moment? I hope that Lord Zhang Shaoqing can stand up for us, otherwise it will surely dishearten many civil and military officials."

Zhang Shaoqing said, "His Majesty has already given the order. Come with us, Lord Zhang Shaoqing. You have brought Imperial Guards with you. The Imperial Guards represent His Majesty."

Even if Zhao Beixing doesn't want to leave now, it's no use. Unless Zhao Beixing starts a rebellion right now, everything is off the table.

Zhao Beixing hesitated for a moment, neither answering Zhang Shaoqing immediately nor letting him leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Qin Zhongting beside him, as if seeking Qin Zhongting's opinion.

"Zhao Beixing, you should leave with Lord Zhang Shaoqing first. I believe the Emperor will clear your name. Besides, everyone's eyes are discerning."

"We've done so many good things for the people, we've certainly put in a lot of hard work, even if we haven't achieved anything great," Qin Zhongting said angrily.
