The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 351 Rich and Rich

Zhao Beixing suddenly felt a headache coming on. He hadn't expected Wang Dawei to make such a big fuss today. In fact, there were many things that were even bigger than this, but they had never been investigated and had simply been left unresolved. After all, Wang Dawei was quite wealthy and powerful.

After all, Wang Dawei was in cahoots with Wang Tianyu. As long as they were willing to spend money, what problem couldn't they solve? This wasn't the first time Wang Dawei had gone to find women.

In the past, Wang Dawei had succeeded several times, but he did not expect that this time, not only was the old man so tough, but he also dared to come and complain.

But just last night, Wang Dawei once again climbed over the fence and entered that woman's room.

And he succeeded, so now Wang Dawei...

If Chen Er found out about this, he would skin him alive. So Wang Dawei was a little scared. Ma Dazhi took Chen Er's orders and brought an old man up in no time.

When Chen Er saw the old man, whose face was covered in blood and whose clothes were tattered, Chen Er frowned and immediately looked at Ma Dazhi to ask him something.

"What exactly happened? Didn't I already give the order to protect this old man's safety? Why is he still covered in injuries?"

Ma Dazhi's face was also a little gloomy. He immediately walked up to Chen Er and said in a low voice.

"I've discovered that there seems to be a mole among our men. They've probably taken money from others. They beat up this old man yesterday to make him lie. But don't worry, I'll start investigating now."

Chen Er bit his lip, the coldness in his eyes was self-evident. Chen Er did not expect that he had such a traitor under his command so soon after taking office. He had beaten the old man up right under his nose. Who would come to Fuyang to cry out for justice in the future?

This was not the result Chen Er wanted, so he laughed and said, "No need to investigate. Bring me all the people who were on duty yesterday. I want to take a look at them today."

"Which bastard is so ungrateful that he dares to betray his country right under my nose? Don't they have parents? Look how old this old man is, how could you bear to hit him so hard?"

Chen Er was truly angry. He knew that although these things were unavoidable, now that they were in his hands, he was determined to teach these guys a lesson. When Ma Dazhi heard what Chen Er said, he hesitated, feeling that this matter was not easy to handle.

After all, Chen Er had only just taken office. If he were to use this incident to punish all his subordinates, it would definitely damage his reputation. So, just as Ma Dazhi was about to try to persuade Chen Er, he saw the coldness in Chen Er's glasses. Although Ma Dazhi had only known Chen Er for a short time...

However, knowing full well that Chen Er was intolerant of any dissent, Ma Dazhi could only sigh and do as he was told. Chen Er then turned his attention to the old man and walked over to him. When Chen Er saw that the old man was covered in wounds, his expression became even more distorted.

"Someone, quickly find me a good barefoot doctor to treat this old man. And because this old man is injured, he doesn't need to kneel before me."

Chen Er's words immediately drew Zhao Beixing's dissatisfaction: "Chen Er, this won't do. Now a county magistrate is kneeling in front of you. If an ordinary citizen doesn't kneel down, it will definitely give others a handle to use against him. So he must kneel down."

Zhao Beixing has now completely broken ties with Chen Er. His words just now were clearly an attempt to cause trouble for Chen Er. Zhao Beixing now wishes he could tear Chen Er to pieces. He never expected that he would raise such an ungrateful person as Chen Er.

Actually, this can't be blamed on Chen Er. Everyone has different pursuits. It's not that Chen Er didn't give Zhao Beixing face, but rather that the two had different paths and couldn't work together. One wanted to expand his own power and have a voice in the court. He was willing to pay any price for his own goals, while ostensibly doing what was good for the poor.

Behind the scenes, he did such dirty things. In Chen Er's view, if you're going to be an official, either don't be one at all, or be an official and serve the poor. A good official in his heart must provide a safe haven for the people. This is Chen Er's pursuit. Chen Er glanced at Zhao Beixing.

“Sir, you are here as an observer, and I am the examiner. You are not allowed to tell me how to handle cases. Don’t think that just because your rank is higher than mine, you can boss me around. If you insist on making me kneel down, then you must kneel down.”

Chen Er's words made the atmosphere in the hall truly eerie. Everyone gasped, and even Zhao Beixing had to kneel down. Chen Er's words were truly ridiculous. No matter what, whether by seniority or official rank, Zhao Beixing was the most senior person here.

But now Chen Er actually made Zhao Beixing kneel down as well. Instead of being angry, Zhao Beixing laughed and put his hands behind his back in front of Chen Er, as if he had just met Chen Er. The two looked at each other and Zhao Beixing immediately clapped and cheered.

"Chen Er, you are truly remarkable. It seems I underestimated you before. I never expected that after only a few days apart, you would have such an imposing presence, even making me kneel down. What is your reason for making me kneel?"

Chen Er immediately laughed, then pointed to the old man covered in wounds: "Do you see this old man? He's covered in wounds. Since you're making him kneel, why don't you kneel down yourself?"

"Besides, we are all officials who care about the people, so I can also interpret it this way: the people are also our parents. If you make this old man kneel down today, then I will kneel down with you. What do you say?"

The muscles on Zhao Beixing's cheeks twitched incessantly, and even the corners of his mouth began to twitch. Zhao Beixing had been an official for over a decade and had never encountered such a tough nut to crack as Chen Er. Therefore, Zhao Beixing was truly furious. He sighed and stopped paying attention to the old man, wondering whether he wanted to kneel or what.
