The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 494 It Boiled Up

"So Sun Yunhe didn't want Chen Er to run so fast, so he started grabbing Chen Er's legs. Then, the affairs of you common people became the reason for holding Chen Er's legs back. Can you understand my description?"

Now that Ma Qiang is a local official, he certainly knows how to speak and express himself so that the people can understand the meaning behind his words in a short period of time.

Ma Qiang's words immediately caused the crowd to erupt in excitement once again.

"What exactly happened? Could it be that Sun Yunhe wants us dead? I've heard that Sun Yunhe once led people to sabotage the dam so that we would all die here."

One commoner said in a trembling voice, but was immediately refuted by another.

"Impossible! Weren't we just hiding on the dam? If the area is really destroyed, why didn't we die?"

At that moment, a girl's clear voice rang out.

"That's easy. My family and I repaired those dikes. There are still many dikes that haven't been repaired yet. Didn't you see how many dikes there were just now?"

"Are Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong the only two standing there? They just don't want ordinary people to get close." The speaker was none other than Situ Minyue.

At this moment, Situ Minyue was very satisfied, because in this way she could also do something for Chen Er.

Situ Minyue's words immediately made the common people tremble even more. They weren't stupid; of course they understood.

Sun Yunhe's actions were utterly monstrous. Just as I described earlier, the two of them were like two parallel lines, and now Chen Er has barely surpassed Sun Yunhe.

This made Sun Yunhe very unhappy, so he took it out on the common people. The main reason for taking it out on the common people was to stop Chen Er's progress.

Therefore, this is a reality that ordinary people cannot accept no matter what: "Sun Yunhe is a really bad person. In order to achieve his own goals, he doesn't even treat us like human beings."

An enraged villager threw all the eggs he had just bought at Sun Yunhe.

Because the common people were quite far away, even Qin Zhongting's head was hit with many eggs. When had Qin Zhongting ever received such treatment? Who held the highest official position here?

Logically speaking, it should be Minister of War Zhang Shaoqing, but in terms of actual power distribution, it is still Qin Zhongting.

Because the Minister of War is now just an empty shell, on the same level as the Emperor, both are paper tigers, posing no threat whatsoever, but now...

He was the highest-ranking official here and also the most miserable. However, Sun Yunhe was already feeling resentful when he saw that Qin Zhongting next to him was also being treated the same way.

Sun Yunhe chuckled, which immediately puzzled Qin Zhongting. What time was it? So many people were watching.

Qin Zhongting truly couldn't understand why Sun Yunhe could still laugh at this critical juncture. Was Sun Yunhe not afraid of death? He was extremely puzzled.

"Sun Yunhe, what are you laughing at? Do you already have a way to escape?" Qin Zhongting saw Sun Yunhe laughing and asked, confirming his doubts. Sun Yunhe just waved his hand dismissively.

"Qin Zhongting, don't be afraid. At most, Chen Er will just arrest the two of us and send us to the court for questioning. Do you think Wei Zhongxian will let us die then?"

"As long as Wei Zhongxian puts a few good words for us in front of the Empress Dowager, no matter how powerful Chen Er is, it will be of no use. He can only dream of killing us."

Sun Yunhe said nonchalantly, and you could say that Sun Yunhe's words were really well said. That's exactly what it is. What can Chen Er do?

Chen Er could at most suppress them and make them obey the Emperor's orders. However, as long as the Empress Dowager spoke, the Emperor had to listen to her. This was Sun Yunhe's truest thought.

Upon hearing Sun Yunhe's words, Qin Zhongting felt that things were far more complicated than they seemed. If what Sun Yunhe said was true, Chen Er would have them both secretly taken back to the imperial court.

So why did Chen Er go to all this trouble? So many ordinary people are anxious here, with tens of thousands of people standing in the square, which already speaks volumes.

Chen Er is making a big fuss about this. Sun Yunhe's eyes are now extremely sharp, like an eagle staring intently at Chen Er's position.

"Chen Er, I admit that I did all these things. What are you going to do with me? Send me to the imperial court right now, even if I did something very wrong."

"Then it's not your place to interfere. Everything must be done according to the Emperor's arrangements." Even at this point, Sun Yunhe still had the strength to shout at Chen Er.

Chen Er almost burst out laughing: "Sun Yunhe, don't think this matter is too simple. Let me tell you, you'll be sent back to the imperial court."

“Of course it’s necessary, but it’s a pity that it’s not you who’s being sent away, but Qin Zhongting.” As soon as Chen Er finished speaking, the veins on Sun Yunhe’s forehead bulged involuntarily.

Sun Yunhe clenched his fists, his fingernails already scratching his skin, but he didn't even notice. Chen Er's words clearly had another meaning.

So you guessed right. I need money to send someone back. I'll only choose one of the two people, and the one I'll choose isn't you, Sun Yunhe, but Qin Zhongting.

Therefore, Chen Er naturally wanted to go, and this was the only suitable method. By doing so, he could explain himself to the Emperor later.

After all, he had sent someone back, not Sun Yunhe, but Qin Zhongting. Even if Wei Zhongxian wanted to do something to him, the Emperor would absolutely not allow it.

Besides, Chen Er's main target this time is Sun Yunhe. If it were to be asked to take action against Qin Zhongting, Chen Er would actually be unable to bring himself to do it.

After all, Qin Zhongting was Qin Luoshen's father, and Chen Er didn't want to see Qin Luoshen heartbroken after he killed Qin Zhongting.

The people were furious and kept throwing eggs and vegetable leaves at Sun Yunhe and Qin Zhongting.

Chen Er stood up and waved his hand slightly. The excited crowd immediately stopped what they were doing. The people understood that they had to follow Chen Er's instructions.
