The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 493 Building a Home

If no floods arrive in the next few days, then Chen Er will definitely make up his mind to deal with Sun Yunhe and then start rebuilding homes for the people.

Sun Yunhe and Qin Zhongting are feeling bad about seeing so many ordinary people pointing fingers at them.

They all started from humble beginnings and worked their way up to achieve what they have today, so when they see so many ordinary people standing here...

They felt a sense of guilt, because just yesterday they had been praying that the flood would drown more people.

They wanted to kill Chen Er, which is why they were willing to pay any price to have these common people die with him. But now, they have a sense of fear in their hearts, which Sun Yunhe doesn't believe.

Chen Er gathered so many ordinary people together just to investigate this matter.

"Qin Zhongting, tell me, what should we do next? If I had known Chen Er would press on so aggressively, I should have objected earlier. Now I don't even have a chance to resist," Sun Yunhe said angrily.

If it weren't for Sun Yunhe, seeing Qin Zhongting standing beside him, and although he wasn't wearing shackles, Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong would have come up.

However, Sun Yunhe still believed that Qin Zhongting was in cahoots with Chen Er, since Qin Zhongting was nominally Chen Er's father-in-law. But after thinking about it carefully, Sun Yunhe felt that this was unlikely.

Unless Qin Zhongting is determined to die and openly opposes Wei Zhongxian, the only thing Sun Yunhe can do next is to let nature take its course.

Sun Yunhe felt that although Chen Er had bribed Ma Qiang and there was evidence, at most he would be locked up in jail.

When he was sent to the imperial court, Wei Zhongxian could release him with just a word.

So after thinking about this, Sun Yunhe was no longer afraid. Instead, he looked at Chen Er angrily.

At this moment, Chen Er sighed, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up.

"Today is a very important day. On behalf of the court, I would like to extend my greetings to the people. However, I am about to announce something very important."

"I never imagined that there would be such a person in the imperial court, so I hope that today, in the presence of the people, this guy can be burned to death."

Although Chen Er's words sounded very mild, they did not hide his anger towards Sun Yunhe at all. Many ordinary people did not know what had happened.

However, after spending these few days together, the people felt that Chen Er was truly a good official, not only calm and taciturn, but also unafraid of hardship and toil.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to lead everyone in building the dam. After Chen Er finished speaking, he looked at Ma Qiang, who had already reached a certain agreement with Chen Er.

When Chen Er looked down at Ma Qiang, Ma Qiang knew it was his turn to go on stage. No matter what the final result was, Ma Qiang wanted to give it his all.

Anyway, Chen Er had already made a promise to him, and even in the worst-case scenario, he could save his life. If he performed well, he could still serve as a local official in Jiangnan.

Moreover, he would be Chen Er's man from now on. With just a little guidance from Chen Er, he would be able to start living a good life in the first stop in Jiangnan. Ma Qiang immediately knelt down.

With tears in his eyes, Ma Qiang looked at the people and said, "I'm sorry, I deserve to die. I shouldn't have been so stubborn with Sun Yunhe and ruined the dam that Lord Chen Er had built."

After saying this, Ma Qiang suddenly stopped, wanting to give the people time to think and discuss.

Sun Yunhe's heart has sunk to the bottom of the sea. He never expected things to develop to this point. What exactly happened?

Ma Qiang isn't actually that scary, but now that he's revealed everything, that's scary. And this time, Ma Qiang has dragged himself into a mess too.

Ma Qiang did not say that Sun Yunhe went to sabotage the dam alone, but said that he, Sun Yunhe, and Qin Zhongting went to sabotage it together.

This means that Ma Qiang is going all out this time, and he is willing to serve as evidence. Sun Yunhe's face is now distorted and deformed.

Sun Yunhe glared at Qin Zhongting beside him. Qin Zhongting was also in a bad mood; his face had turned purple.

"Qin Zhongting, tell me, you've been telling me to stay calm, but how can I stay calm now? Ma Qiang has been completely bought off by Chen Er. What do you suggest I do next?"

Sun Yunhe now truly hates Qin Zhongting. He feels that Qin Zhongting, perhaps due to his advanced age, sometimes doesn't consider things thoroughly enough.

If Qin Zhongting hadn't stopped him from struggling, Sun Yunhe's martial arts skills would have made it incredibly difficult for him and Liu Chengdong to capture him.

But now, his hands are shackled, and what Sun Yunhe finds unbearable is that these shackles are extremely long.

Moreover, it was made of two iron chains, with Ma Dazhi holding one and Sun Yunhe holding the other, as if to prevent Sun Yunhe from escaping. Ma Qiang's words immediately caused an uproar among the people.

Many people started talking about it, not knowing what had happened, but soon an old man came out.

It was obvious that this old man was a representative of the common people: "Lord Chen Er, we are all common people, with long hair and short brains. I don't understand what you just said."

"What exactly does it mean? Could you explain it to us simply?" The old man had already understood, but he couldn't believe it.

Logically speaking, why would Sun Yunhe do this? These are all generals sent down by the imperial court; shouldn't they be thinking of the common people like Chen Er?

In other words, even if Sun Yunhe and Qin Zhongting didn't care about the people or do anything for them, they shouldn't have wanted to kill them!

This is simply illogical. In fact, the old man didn't know that the waters in the imperial court were incredibly deep, and even doing things for the common people wasn't so easy.

They only care about maximizing their own interests and put the interests of ordinary people last. Sometimes, they don't even care about the lives of ordinary people.

"Chen Er is very fast now and has surpassed Sun Yunhe, which makes Sun Yunhe very unhappy."
