Chapter 350 A Slight Anger
Chen Er was also surprised that Sun Yunhe arrived so quickly. Chen Er and Ma Dazhi were both a little helpless. Chen Er led his men outside to greet him. No matter what, although Chen Er disliked Sun Yunhe very much, he could not lose his manners on the surface.
As the saying goes, "higher officials have more power than lower officials." Sun Yunhe was a favorite of Wei Zhongxian, while Chen Er was only a first-rank official, still inferior to him. However, what Chen Er did not expect was that the person who came was not Sun Yunhe at all, but Zhao Beixing.
At this moment, Zhao Beixing, dressed in official robes, jumped off his horse and smiled when he saw Chen Er.
"Chen Er, what exactly happened? I could hear your roar from far away. Who is it that made you angry?"
Although Zhao Beixing's voice was very calm, Chen Er could still hear a hint of anger in his words. Clearly, Zhao Beixing had come here for Zhao Tianming. As for Zhao Tianming, he was actually quite a headache for Chen Er. If it weren't for Zhao Tianming, he wouldn't have bothered coming here.
Zhao Beixing was a little surprised. He looked at Wang Tianyu and Wang Dawei kneeling on the ground. Even the corner of his eye twitched involuntarily. Zhao Beixing did not expect that Chen Er would make such a big deal out of this.
It was clearly just a small matter, so Zhao Beixing immediately felt a bit helpless and disappointed in Chen Er. He originally thought that Chen Er would consider the big picture, but now that he acted like this over such a small matter, how could he possibly fight against Wei Zhongxian in the future?
"Chen Er, let's leave it at that for today. It's clearly something that can't be discussed openly. Why are you torturing everyone like this? After all, Wang Tianyu is a local official. Even if he hasn't made any great contributions, he has certainly put in a lot of hard work."
Zhao Beixing also knew Wang Tianyu, and had received quite a few benefits from him. So at this moment, Zhao Beixing would say a good word for Wang Tianyu, hoping that Chen Er would be smart and let Wang Tianyu go!
Letting Wang Tianyu go is tantamount to giving Wang Dawei face, even though Wang Dawei is only backed by Sun Yunhe.
Above that is Wei Zhongxian from the Eastern Depot. By doing this, Chen Er was directly confronting Wei Zhongxian, which was clearly an unwise move. However, Zhao Beixing's words ignited a fire of anger in Chen Er's heart.
“Lord Zhao Beixing, I only had you brought here today because I see you are my elder. I only hope that you can accept my way of handling things, rather than having you teach me how to handle things. If you don’t want to stay here any longer, then you can take your people and leave now.”
Chen Er's voice was very calm, but the chill in his words made Zhao Beixing's face turn a little sinister. Zhao Beixing did not expect Chen Er to bring up such a trivial matter, and to not even give him face in front of so many people. Ma Dazhi sighed.
He tugged at Chen Er's clothes and then lowered his voice to say, "Hey boss, today's matter is a bit too big. After all, this is Zhao Beixing's business. We should at least give him some face. Why don't we just release the county magistrate?"
Ma Dazhi also understood why Zhao Beixing was now on Wang Tianyu's side and why he was saying nice things to Wang Tianyu.
Anyone with eyes could see that Zhao Tianming had accepted bribes from Wang Tianyu, so Zhao Beixing had no choice but to protect Zhao Tianming and the county magistrate.
"This tough team, it's just a pity that they are facing someone else today. But Chen Er can't tolerate any nonsense. Chen Er gave a helpless bitter smile and sat down in his seat, speaking very calmly."
“Ma Dazhi, proceed according to the original plan. First, give Wang Dawei sixty strokes of the cane. If anyone is not satisfied, let him take off this official robe if he dares.”
Chen Er has now completely broken ties with Zhao Beixing. Although this happened a little too quickly, it was something Chen Er had expected, since people with different values cannot work together.
On the surface, Zhao Beixing's faction seemed to be very concerned about the poor people.
But who knows how much rice cake they secretly plundered? That's why Chen Er joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Wang Dawei looked at Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong with schadenfreude, as if he had just walked past them. Wang Dawei felt his legs start to cramp, and suddenly looked at Zhao Beixing.
"My lord, how can you allow a mere first-rank official to act so presumptuously in front of you? Have you forgotten that I treated you to drinks just last month? You can't let them beat me to a pulp."
Zhao Beixing frowned. Today's events had indeed embarrassed him, and they had also made him realize once again the true nature of Chen Er, this fearless young man.
He's just a newly appointed first-rank official, and he already doesn't take me seriously. What will happen when Chen Er's strength grows? Besides, just yesterday, Zhao Beixing's informant told Zhao Beixing.
It seems that Chen Er has secretly colluded with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which is not something Zhao Beixing wants to see. Therefore, Zhao Beixing now looks at Chen Er with more anger in his eyes.
"Chen Er, don't be so hasty. Besides, do you even know what happened? I think there's more to the story. Let's not rush to judge anyone. Let's get to the bottom of this first."
Zhao Beixing immediately put pressure on Chen Er, since Zhao Beixing didn't know what was going on yet, and Chen Er was about to hit Wang Dawei.
This is a bit unreasonable. Chen Er certainly understood the implication of Zhao Beixing's words. He just wanted to deliberately delay the time.
Once Sun Yunhe arrives with his men, even if I wanted to fight Wang Dawei, I probably wouldn't have a chance.
But Chen Er was not afraid of this at all. Even if Sun Yunhe came, so what? No one who wanted to fight Chen Er could escape.
So Chen Er straightened his wrinkled clothes before looking at Ma Dazhi: "Quickly bring out that old man who was crying out for justice, and his daughter-in-law who was being harassed. I want Lord Zhao Beixing to take a look at her now."
"What good things have these beasts done? Not only did they beat someone's son to death, but they also tried to take his daughter-in-law. Such scum is a disgrace to the Ming Dynasty."
