The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 499 Jiangnan Area 1

After Chen Er finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately looked at Ma Dazhi.

"Quickly find a jar and put Sun Yunhe's ashes in it. I need to take this back to the imperial court to report."

Chen Er was well aware that it would be unreasonable to bury Sun Yunhe's body in the Jiangnan area.

After all, he was one of Wei Zhongxian's Five Tiger Generals, so Chen Er had to bring Sun Yunhe's ashes back to report.

Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong exchanged a glance and shook their heads with wry smiles. They felt that their boss was truly loyal and righteous, even towards his enemies, making him a rare and great hero.

Qin Zhongting was trembling with fear. He rubbed his red glasses, unable to believe that what was happening before his eyes was real.

Chen Er really did beat Sun Yunhe to death, and now Sun Yunhe has been burned to ashes in the fire. Qin Zhongting coughed.

In that instant, Qin Zhongting seemed to age many years. His sharp eyes swept over Chen Er, and he suddenly shouted.

"Chen Er, you will regret this. I'm telling you, you killed Sun Yunhe, and you will pay the price. Wei Zhongxian will not let you off the hook."

Qin Zhongting spoke very seriously, and Chen Er, who was already in a bad mood, no longer cared about anything. So what if Qin Zhongting was Qin Luoshen's biological father?

Qin Zhongting also wanted these common people to die. If they really died that day, the situation of himself and Zhang Shaoqing would be unimaginable.

At that moment, Chen Er ran up to Qin Zhongting without hesitation, raised his hand and slapped Qin Zhongting hard across the face. Qin Zhongting was a little unsure of himself.

If it weren't for the pain shooting through his cheek, Qin Zhongting would have found it hard to believe that Chen Er had actually hit him.

"Let me tell you, Qin Zhongting, I'm only letting you off the hook because of Qin Luoshen. If you push your luck, I'll show you what happens when you offend me."

Chen Er's cold words made Qin Zhongting's body freeze in fear. Qin Zhongting never expected that Chen Er was someone he had personally trained.

Moreover, he himself recommended him to the emperor. But who could have imagined that after Chen Er entered the court, he would stir up more and more trouble in the court, and now Zhao Tianming died because of Chen Er.

Zhao Beixing's fate is unknown; he has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Sun Yunhe, one of the Five Tiger Generals, was also personally killed by Chen Er, and now he has even been slapped by Chen Er.

Qin Zhongting felt that all of this was so unreal, as if it were an illusion. Chen Er saw that Qin Zhongting had completely changed, so he didn't think too much about it and simply waved his hand.

"Guards, take Qin Zhongting into custody for now. We'll return to report after we've helped the people rebuild their homes."

Chen Er's indifferent voice carried on. Time passed quickly, and under Chen Er's leadership, the people's houses were rebuilt, and this time they were even more beautiful than before.

After the house was built, it meant that Chen Er had to go back to report. The people were really reluctant to part with it, and they all wanted to give Chen Er all the eggs and meat they had at home.

However, Chen Er did not accept any of them. He knew that the common people had a really hard life, especially in the Jiangnan region where the emperor was far away and there had been floods.

If ordinary people want to live a normal life, it will probably be completely impossible in a few years.

"Sir, are you really leaving? Why don't you stay and keep us company? If you could be our magistrate here, we common people would be overjoyed."

An old man spoke his mind.

"Yes, sir. If you're not leaving, how about my niece marries you? She's very pretty."

A woman also tried to persuade him, and Chen Er smiled at that moment. He felt that these people were too lovable.

They had been struggling through the storm for a long time, and now they had finally made it through, Chen Er said with a hint of helplessness.

"Actually, I also want to stay here, but if I become a local official here, what will happen to Ma Qiang? You should think about Ma Qiang. Besides, I still have many things to deal with when I return to the imperial court."

Ma Qiang now seems to have undergone a complete transformation. Ma Qiang and Chen Er hugged each other.

"Lord Chen Er, thank you so much for teaching me how to be a good official. I swear to God that as long as I have a bite to eat, the common people will have a bite to eat too."

Ma Qiang said from the bottom of his heart that Chen Er was very satisfied with Ma Qiang's recent changes. In fact, Chen Er knew that no one was born a bad person.

Chen Er also knew that if he wanted to kill Wei Zhongxian, he would have to pay a lot more and prepare more evidence.

Chen Er was able to overthrow Wei Zhongxian's power in the court: "Alright, it's getting late, we need to go back and report. I hope that there will never be a great flood in the Jiangnan region again, although I will miss you all."

Thus, surrounded by many ordinary people, Chen Er left Jiangnan.

Moreover, if it weren't for Chen Er constantly persuading these people, they probably would have had to escort Chen Er for at least half the journey.

Before leaving, Zhang Shaoqing told Chen Er a very bad reality: Qin Zhongting's mental state was very poor. Ever since Chen Er slapped Qin Zhongting, he had become demented.

Qin Zhongting remained silent. He hadn't touched water for several days, which puzzled Chen Er. Chen Er couldn't believe that he had knocked Qin Zhongting senseless with just one slap.

This is simply impossible, so there's only one possibility: Qin Zhongting must be plotting something that will kill him.

Although Chen Er couldn't be sure if his guess was true, he knew since entering the court that making more preparations would be beneficial.

Otherwise, when disaster strikes, you'll be caught off guard and have no way to stop it.

Time flew by, and after several days, Chen Er finally arrived at the imperial court. At that moment, civil and military officials were already waiting at the gate of the court.

The Emperor was also eagerly awaiting Chen Er's arrival. Wei Zhongxian glanced at the sun in the sky; it was already noon.

Logically speaking, if Chen Er were still alive, he should have returned by now.
