The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 495 Knowing everything

We absolutely cannot go too far, otherwise they won't even take Chen Er seriously, which is really disrespectful to Chen Er.

So what these ordinary people did was somewhat fair. Chen Er looked at Ma Qiang, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"Ma Qiang, I have one last question for you. Why did you listen to Sun Yunhe and tell me if there were other factors involved?"

Chen Er's words were incredibly powerful; to Ma Qiang, they sounded like the most beautiful sound he had ever heard in his life.

Ma Qiang wasn't stupid. He knew perfectly well that Chen Er was starting to exonerate himself. It was obvious that as long as Ma Qiang said it, he would be able to clear his name by saying that he had been misled by Sun Yunhe.

It was because of Sun Yunhe's threat that he could continue to serve as a local official in the Jiangnan region in the future.

So Ma Qiang knew his chance had come. As long as he seized this opportunity, he would be like an unbreakable roly-poly toy.

There was no way he could fall down. Ma Qiang was so excited that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Er.

"Your Honor, you are absolutely right. I was threatened by Sun Yunhe. In fact, I would never want to destroy the dike. I am the local official, and the people are all my parents."

"How could I let my parents be swept away by the flood right under my nose?" Ma Qiang paused briefly after saying this, unable to continue.

Ma Qiang's voice trembled, and tears streamed down his face. Sun Yunhe was trembling with anger, clearly indicating that this was something Ma Qiang and Chen Er had planned long ago.

The thought that someone wanted to kill him in front of so many people sent a chill down Sun Yunhe's spine; he sensed something was wrong.

Why is Ma Qiang so fixated on himself instead of trying to smear Qin Zhongting? The answer is quite simple: Chen Er's target this time is himself.

Or to be more precise, these two, Chen Er and Zhang Shaoqing, left the imperial court and came to the Jiangnan region.

In other words, Wei Zhongxian sent him out to try and kill Chen Er because of his own interests.

In fact, Chen Er had the same idea as Wei Zhongxian. After thinking about this, Sun Yunhe felt sweat pouring down his forehead.

It felt as if he had accidentally taken a hot shower, which was extremely disappointing. Sun Yunhe felt as if he were dreaming.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and hadn't presented so many facts to himself, Sun Yunhe would never have believed it. He angrily tried to stand up.

However, because he was wearing shackles on his feet, Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong exchanged a glance, and with a slight tug on the chains, Sun Yunhe was once again lying on the ground.

He fell hard: "Ma Qiang, you bastard, don't try to smear me. I'm asking you, what did you tell me when I found you?"

You said you'd do anything I say in order to gain wealth and status, to rise above others and become a phoenix.

"But now, what right do you have to throw all the mud at me?" Sun Yunhe was truly furious.

I feel like I'm shameless enough, but this time Ma Qiang is even more shameless than me. This is something the three of them had planned beforehand.

However, Ma Qiang claimed that he was threatened and that he was originally unwilling, but was persuaded and threatened by Sun Yunhe, which is why he agreed to do this.

This reason is just too bizarre. Chen Er suddenly slammed his hand on the table: "I know what happened. I hope Ma Qiang can learn a lesson from this."

"Next time someone threatens you, don't be afraid. Just come to me. With so many people backing you up, what are you afraid of?" Chen Er roared domineeringly.

Ma Qiang was already trembling with excitement. He knew that after Chen Er's analysis, he wouldn't die, and not only wouldn't die.

There is a possibility that he will have the opportunity to continue serving as a local official in the Jiangnan region in the future. Ma Qiang doesn't have many extravagant desires now. In the past, Ma Qiang pursued wealth and honor, and a sense of superiority.

But now, Ma Qiang is seeking psychological comfort, seeking a powerful figure who can protect his safety at all times. In Ma Qiang's eyes, Chen Er is now a powerful figure.

In fact, Chen Er's official position is relatively low, but he is a very bold person who dares to openly provoke Wei Zhongxian in the court.

Who can say that Chen Er is not bold enough? Things have come to this point, so Sun Yunhe knows that he is in trouble today.

However, Sun Yunhe had not expected that Chen Er would choose to send Qin Zhongting back to the court. Was he going to perish here?

Sun Yunhe was extremely unwilling, so he looked at Chen Er resentfully and said again.

“Chen Er, at the very least, there should be a limit to what you do, and there should be a process. You should send me to the imperial court first.”

“What I did was excessive, and I would rather submit to the Emperor’s judgment,” Sun Yunhe shouted angrily, but Chen Er smiled indifferently.

"No need. His Majesty is too busy with state affairs to have time. Leave this matter to me. Besides, I have already come up with a solution for this problem."

Chen Er's words immediately caused Sun Yunhe's brows to furrow involuntarily, just as Sun Yunhe was wondering how Chen Er would punish him.

Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong smiled maliciously. Just then, Chen Er spoke up again indifferently.

"Sun Yunhe is malicious and openly damaged the dike, intending to cause the deaths of the people. After investigating the whole truth and considering the seriousness of the matter, I now order that Sun Yunhe be burned to death."

Although Chen Er spoke very calmly, it almost made Sun Yunhe vomit blood with anger.

Not far away, a carriage suddenly appeared, pushed by a guard with a sword. This carriage was different from ordinary carriages because it had a bright red pillar on it.

A raging fire was burning beneath the pillar, indicating that Chen Er had been prepared all along. Sun Yunhe's expression changed repeatedly, and he immediately turned his gaze to Qin Zhongting.

Qin Zhongting was also startled. He hadn't expected Chen Er to be so resolute in his actions, disregarding the rules of the court.
