Chapter 400 Taking it Seriously
Zhao Beixing said this very solemnly, and Zhao Tianming's heart sank to the bottom as soon as he heard Zhao Beixing say this.
It was obvious that Zhao Beixing was giving up on him. Even if Zhao Beixing didn't report to the Emperor, Chen Er and Zhang Xingchen would report it truthfully. Chen Er felt that Zhao Beixing was a real old fox. Now that Zhao Tianming was about to die, Zhao Beixing didn't forget to use him.
"Alright, leave Zhao Beixing's matter to our Embroidered Uniform Guard. You take your men and hurry back. We need to temporarily close this treasury," Chen Er said helplessly.
Zhao Beixing originally wanted to get some benefits from the treasury, but upon closer inspection, he realized that he hadn't brought many people with him. With no other choice, Zhao Beixing had to take his leave first. As for Zhao Tianming and Chen Er, they were immediately captured, tied up with ropes, and will be dealt with tomorrow.
As for Chen Er discovering the small warehouse, he simply dragged out one of the boxes and distributed all the money inside to the ladies. Whoever got it would feel at ease.
Chen Er, however, was unconvinced: "Don't worry, even if Zhao Beixing knows the number of these boxes, he won't tell anyone. He's feeling guilty, and if he offends me again, I'll have to bring people to his place next time." Chen Er said dismissively.
This was the first time Chen Er had ever seen so much gold and silver jewelry. He found a very beautiful jade pendant in the box. The jade bracelet looked shimmering, and there was even a faint aura inside, constantly swirling around. It was clearly not an ordinary jade pendant.
"I'll take this. When I give it to Qin Luoshen, she'll be very happy." Chen Er thought for a moment and then put the jade pendant away.
"Hey, Chen Er, take a little more. Besides, there aren't enough for just a few people. This is the last chance. You won't get any more next time." Zhang Xingchen didn't stand on ceremony and picked out a few jade pendants and bracelets that he liked and gave them to Yang Xiaoqian.
Zhang Xingchen summoned all his subordinates, but this was all done in secret. If anyone were to reveal what happened today, Zhang Xingchen and Chen Er would certainly not let them off the hook.
"Brothers," Zhang Xingchen said, "you've been fighting alongside me for years, some even longer. We've always been a weak force, never really growing. Now all of this is yours." After saying this, Zhang Xingchen scattered the gold and silver jewelry on the ground.
The sight made the Imperial Guards' eyes light up, and they hurriedly squatted down to grab the food. However, Zhang Xingchen did not stop them. After all, this society is a dog-eat-dog world. Whoever has the strongest fist and the greatest courage will get more. If someone is timid, they can only go home and cry.
At Chen Er's prompting, the remaining ladies also selected a few items from the selection.
"Let's leave it at that for today. I hope you find good families in the future. However, you must not tell anyone about the money I gave you, or you should know the consequences."
Although Chen Er spoke very calmly, his words made the already beautiful woman even more frightened.
Some of the women's faces contorted in disgust, and they hurriedly assured Chen Er, "We swear to God we won't tell anyone what happened today, or we'll be struck by lightning, and you won't have to worry about that."
After watching the women leave, Chen Er had all the boxes taken away by the Imperial Guards. He planned to report to the Emperor the next day. After bidding farewell to Zhang Xingchen, Chen Er...
Chen Er led Ma Dazhi toward his residence, but at that moment, Chen Er narrowed his eyes into slits because it was already very dark, but there were still a few vegetable vendors at the stall. These vegetable vendors usually went home to take care of their children before it got dark.
Both the old woman and the old man were acting very strangely: "Ma Dazhi, did you see these vegetable sellers? These guys are probably all young people in disguise. Everyone should be careful later." Chen Er immediately spoke his mind.
Ma Dazhi was a little surprised. He hadn't expected that these seemingly ordinary vegetable vendors were actually young people in disguise. However, he had been following Chen Er for quite some time and knew that Chen Er's sense of danger was still very sharp.
If Chen Er said these people were in disguise, then there must be no mistake. Ma Dazhi had already gripped the knife tightly in his hand.
"Don't worry, sir. If these fearless people dare to come up and hurt you, I will make them regret it." Ma Dazhi didn't know what kind of audacity these people had that made them dare to attack a first-rank official.
Chen Er was also a little surprised. He originally thought that these people were sent by Zhao Beixing to kill him, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately rejected the idea. Zhang Xingchen had just left his side and it was impossible for him to be so well prepared.
Unless Zhao Beixing had harbored murderous intent towards him beforehand, and Zhao Tianming wouldn't act so rashly, since anyone with common sense could connect the matter to Chen Er. Therefore, unless Zhao Beixing now intends to completely sever ties with Chen Er...
Otherwise, Zhao Beixing wouldn't have done something so dangerous and thankless, Chen Er sighed.
"Regardless of who sent them, they dared to assassinate me right under my nose. I'll capture them all alive today," Chen Er said angrily.
Although Chen Er knew that these vegetable vendors probably wanted to harm him, he did not show it on the surface and continued to chat and laugh with Ma Dazhi.
At this moment, Tianci looked at another stall not far away. The person there was none other than Zhang Tianhe. Because the ordinary people outside all spoke of Chen Er in a very mysterious way, saying that Chen Er was Bao Qingtian reincarnated.
He was always eager to do things for the people, and he was incorruptible, but now Chen Er's words are all vulgarities.
Of course, this was just a question in Zhang Tianhe's mind. Feeling Tianci's gaze on him, the two nodded at the same time. Just as Chen Er was about to reach Tianci's stall, Chen Er suddenly stopped and looked at Tianci with a smile.
