The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 488 Building the Dam

Even if Wei Zhongxian had the Empress Dowager above him, so what? Was it their fault for doing this wrong?

As soon as Chen Er finished speaking, he immediately attracted the attention of the people, some of whom were still confused.

After all, some people didn't participate in building the dam yesterday, but some people recognized Chen Er.

“I can testify that Chen Er is right. Yesterday, Chen Er led us to build the dam. Chen Er was wholeheartedly doing good for us ordinary people. But look at those three, they are simply not as good as us.”

Now things have really gotten out of hand. It immediately aroused public anger, and many people rushed towards Qingge Academy, wanting to beat these three guys into a pulp.

This startled Qin Zhongting. He now understood how Chen Er was going to handle the matter; it was clear that Chen Er had won people's hearts first.

In this way, the three of them were already in a passive position, and Qin Zhongting couldn't help but applaud Chen Er's actions.

"Chen Er is really good. You are indeed my good son-in-law. I must have been seeing things before. No wonder you have become the emperor's favorite in such a short time."

"If you don't have some skills, nobody would believe you." Qin Zhongting's words made Chen Er sneer.

"That's how things are. Anyway, I'm listening to the people. As officials, we treat the people as our parents. You don't value the lives of your parents."

"Then what's the difference between you and beasts?" Chen Er's words were loaded with hidden meaning. It was clear that Chen Er had discovered that the dam built yesterday was already having problems.

"Chen Er, I understand your predicament, but yesterday was an accident. Besides, when did the three of us go to the restaurant for drinks yesterday? Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence?"

"So don't embarrass yourself here. Can we talk about it when we get back?" Qin Zhongting didn't want to stay here for even a minute longer.

Seeing these indignant people pointing fingers at him, even Qin Zhongting, with his thick skin, felt a burning pain on his face, let alone Sun Yunhe.

At this moment, Sun Yunhe had only one thought in his mind: he had to kill Chen Er no matter what when he got back.

If Chen Er is alive, then Wei Zhongxian's future days are truly going to be difficult. Who would have thought that Chen Er would grow up so quickly? This isn't just provoking Sun Yunhe; it's openly provoking Wei Zhongxian.

To put it even more bluntly, Chen Er is now challenging the Empress Dowager's authority; he has no respect for her.

That means Chen Er is only loyal to the Emperor. This is outrageous! Now the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are locked in a power struggle, and it's hard to say who will win.

But now Chen Er's meaning was so clear: he wanted to trample the two of them under his feet right here. Chen Er immediately clapped his hands.

Immediately, a fat man emerged from the crowd, accompanied by two assistants.

"Reporting to you, sir, it was those three guys who came to my restaurant to drink yesterday, and they didn't pay. They were acting all high and mighty."

"They said that not paying us is a sign of respect for our restaurant, and that if they have the guts, let me sue them. I hope you can help me."

Now look what's happened! This fat man is the owner of the restaurant from yesterday. Who would have thought he would be so despicable and shameless?

At this critical juncture, the fat man's appearance was like gasoline, igniting the small flames and setting the people ablaze.

Some locals even threw stones and vegetable leaves at the three people, and the scene began to become chaotic.

Actually, the appearance of this fat man had already determined who would win and who would lose today. The fat man's appearance did not mean that the situation of these three people drinking without paying and eating and dashing was no longer the case.

Sun Yunhe would rather give the fat man ten times the amount of money than let him say that they were drinking at the restaurant yesterday.

This changes the nature of the situation. To put it bluntly, what's the difference between this and being an animal? Good heavens, Chen Er is quite old.

Even a young girl like Situ Minyue spared no expense, working with the common people to build dikes in that desolate wilderness, making ample preparations for today's flood.

But the three of them actually went drinking, and what's even funnier is that they didn't pay him before the New Year. Now Sun Yunhe feels like he's met a terrible teammate.

Actually, Sun Yunhe originally wanted to pay, but Ma Qiang said that this place was his territory and he should do the hospitality of a host without paying.

I've always been this arrogant, and I've always been the one to dine and dash.

Now things have gotten out of control and are spiraling out of control. Many ordinary people are shouting that they want to skin these three guys alive and kill them.

The person who was slightly annoyed was Ma Qiang, because he had noticed that Chen Er's gaze had been fixed on him.

Without a doubt, the first person Chen Er would have to operate on was Ma Qiang. Ma Qiang was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, as if he had just taken a hot bath.

The clothes on his chest clung tightly to his skin, making him extremely uncomfortable. Before Chen Er could even speak, Ma Qiang had already knelt on the ground.

Ma Qiang kowtowed three times to the people outside: "I am sorry to everyone, I am sorry to the Emperor for his cultivation of me, and I am sorry to Lord Chen Er for his trust in me."

“I deserve to die for not fighting alongside my elders yesterday. I’ve shed this skin myself. I’d rather be an ordinary citizen from now on.”

After Ma Qiang finished speaking, he tore off his clothes. In his excitement, he even tore off the buttons on his clothes. However, Ma Qiang's actions were the smartest.

Things have come to this point. To put it bluntly, if the argument continues, Ma Qiang won't just be taking off his clothes; he'll be beheaded.

This was simply putting ordinary people in dire straits. Ma Qiang's actions left Chen Er feeling helpless. However, it was impossible for Chen Er to let it go so easily.

"How could you take your clothes off like that? Wear them for now, we'll settle the score later!"

"This matter involves too many people. I need to conduct an investigation before I can give the people an explanation," Chen Er said indifferently.

Although Chen Er's voice was very calm, in Ma Qiang's eyes, the calmest voice was like a ticking time bomb.
