The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 479 Rebuilding Home

Chen Er felt incredibly heartbroken and walked towards the crowd.

The local people were not particularly happy about Chen Er and his group's arrival, because they knew very well that this was not the first time these people had come.

Every time they brought condolence money, it was always a pitiful amount. Who knows how much kickbacks they had already taken?

To put it bluntly, every person who comes here is a corrupt official who doesn't care about the common people. Chen Er smiled.

"People, I have been sent by the Emperor. This time, I hope to stand with you through thick and thin and help you rebuild your homes."

After Chen Er finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong ran up from behind him, carrying a golden box.

When the box was opened, the people's eyes widened in disbelief.

No one expected that Chen Er would bring so much gold and silver jewelry this time, and some people started to shout.

"Sir, you're not joking with us, are you? Are all these things for us?"

An old man asked Chen Er with some disbelief, and Chen Er immediately nodded seriously.

"That's right, all these things are for you. No matter what, you are still a part of our Great Ming Dynasty, and our Great Ming Dynasty will never forget you."

"Who's in charge here? Come with me." After saying that, Chen Er walked towards a secluded spot.

The old man from before had started discussing it with others. These ordinary people didn't know if they would actually receive the money.

After all, it still had to go through many people's hands. At this moment, a big man followed behind Chen Er.

"Sir, my name is Ma Qiang, and I am the local official. I hope you will take good care of me after this matter is resolved. It's really not easy in this poor and remote place," Ma Qiang said helplessly.

At this moment, Chen Er looked at Ma Qiang. This dark-faced man was unusually strong and fat, almost dripping with oil. Chen Er had absolutely no liking for such a person.

To put it bluntly, ordinary people have nowhere to eat, but these guys are rolling in fat, which makes Chen Er very unhappy.

"I just brought gold and silver jewelry, you see? Distribute it according to the number of people, make sure it's evenly distributed, and absolutely do not take any kickbacks."

"If I find out, I will never forgive you," Chen Er said angrily.

Ma Qiang was a little angry. As the local official in a poor and remote area, if he didn't take a little bribe, he would probably end up like the common people, unable to eat meat even once a month.

“Sir, you are being too far-fetched. As an official in charge of the people, I have the common people on my mind. How could I be a corrupt official?”

"Don't worry about any of this, I definitely won't let you down." Ma Qiang patted his chest earnestly.

Chen Er was very satisfied. Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Come quick, the dam we built on the east side!"

"It's about to be washed away! Let's hurry and go rescue the people!" After saying that, the man ran out.

Chen Er was a little surprised and looked at Ma Qiang: "What exactly is going on? Are there still civilians on the eastern dike?"

Chen Er asked angrily, "I never expected Ma Qiang to be so careless. I think he shouldn't be called Ma Qiang anymore."

It should be called carelessness, Ma Qiang's face also darkened a bit.

"Reporting to you, sir, we didn't want this either. There's nowhere nearby to house so many people, so yesterday I led some civilians to the dam."

"Let's just stay here for now. I didn't expect the dam to be destroyed by the flood," Ma Qiang said with great remorse.

Chen Er was trembling with anger. He wanted nothing more than to punch Ma Qiang, but since the deed was already done, he immediately shouted in a fit of rage.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and come with me to rescue the civilians. Let me tell you, Ma Qiang, if any civilians lose their lives this time, you'll be sorry!"

"Your whole family's heads aren't enough for me to chop off." Chen Er immediately ran out in anger, and Chen Er's words made Ma Qiang very unhappy.

No matter what, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. That's the truth. Chen Er is only a second-rank official, and Ma Qiang is unhappy about it.

So his face grew increasingly pale, and just then someone patted Ma Qiang on the shoulder.

"Don't stoop to the level of this kind of person. As long as you listen to me, I guarantee I'll help you get revenge, and you can even climb the social ladder. Who wants to stay in this poor, remote place?"

Ma Qiang was startled. He turned around and saw two strangers, which immediately made him a little wary.

"Who are you?

"I am one of Sun Yunhe's Five Tiger Generals."

Sun Yunhe said domineeringly. He had always been very happy to be one of the Five Tiger Generals. In this remote and impoverished place, probably not many people had heard of the Five Tiger Generals.

But when Wei Zhongxian is mentioned, even in impoverished mountainous areas, people have heard of him. Who is Wei Zhongxian?

Those were people who opposed the emperor, people Wei Zhongxian wanted to kill; none of them could survive.

Therefore, Ma Qiang had never heard of the Five Tiger Generals, which caused him to lose his temper.

"I don't care who you are, get out of here right now, this is not a place for you."

Ma Qiang was about to leave after he finished speaking, but Qin Zhongting blocked his way.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Qin Zhongting. You should have heard of me."

Qin Zhongting took out a golden token from his pocket. Neither Qin Zhongting nor Sun Yunhe were wearing official robes when they came out.

Now that the token had appeared, Ma Qiang was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost knelt on the ground.

Ma Qiang suddenly realized, why do the Five Tiger Generals seem so familiar? After thinking about it carefully, Ma Qiang immediately thought of a person, wasn't that Wei Zhongxian's subordinate?

So Ma Qiang's mouth started trembling uncontrollably. Ma Qiang looked at the sneering Sun Yunhe with great fear.

"You must be one of Lord Wei Zhongxian's men. I'm so sorry, brother, I was really angry just now, so I was a bit hot-tempered. I hope you won't hold it against me."

Now, Ma Qiang, you're no longer as arrogant as you were before; instead, you're filled with fear and apprehension.
