The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 578 Arrogant and Domineering

Chen Er asked in surprise. He never expected that he would encounter several fearless troublemakers so soon after arriving in the city. Chen Er felt that his body was about to rust.

It's been a long time since I've helped anyone or even stretched my bones.

After hearing Chen Er's words, the hoodlum frowned and said, "I'm telling you, you don't know the rules here. Everyone who performs here has to pay me."

"Otherwise, I'll let you die here today." Just as Chen Er was about to make a move, Pang Huaiyi suddenly rushed over anxiously.

"Gentlemen, I'm truly sorry, but one of my brothers has just arrived in this land and is unaware of your local customs. He can pay whatever it costs right now."

Pang Huaiyi had been performing here for several months, so he was well aware of the unspoken rules. To put it bluntly, you had to give the officials a little something before you could continue performing here.

Otherwise, you wouldn't even have the right to perform here. Seeing that one of them knew what was good for them, these thugs became even more arrogant and domineering.

"Give us all your money. Now we're going to increase taxes, which means the money you earn from performing. What's left after we've eaten our fill is yours."

The words of this scoundrel immediately made Pang Huaiyi feel a little uncomfortable.

"It wasn't like this before, why is it like this now? Does that leave us no way to survive?" Pang Huaiyi's words immediately made the thug's eyes widen.

"I am the official here, and you have to listen to me. If you're not happy about it, then stop performing here and go somewhere else."

Chen Er was a little angry. These thugs claimed to be officials, but they were probably just some guards. Chen Er laughed at that moment.

"Who gave you the right to act recklessly here? Summon your county magistrate here. Today I'm going to interrogate him properly and find out what really happened."

Why not give the common people a way to survive? Chen Er was truly furious. He felt that the county magistrate here was even more detestable than that behemoth.

Since Chen Er had already left the court, he had plenty of time and didn't mind teaching the scum a lesson. The guard was a little surprised when he heard Chen Er say this.

"If you want to die, then we brothers will grant your wish. Men, take this fearless bastard back with us. Anyway, our county magistrate hasn't dealt with such a fool in a long time."

After the guard finished speaking, he immediately led his men to arrest them all.

However, Chen Er was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he was a little excited. He was thinking about how to punish the county magistrate. At this moment, he was at the county magistrate's residence.

This county magistrate's name was Wang Dahai. To put it bluntly, he used to be a hoodlum, but Wang Dahai was very lucky.

Wang Dahai's family was already quite wealthy, and they had enough money to buy a position as a county magistrate. He was doing very well here, and recently he had been ignoring the people crying out for justice at his door.

Moreover, Wang Dahai has a rule: if you stand at the door and cry out for justice, you must pay him money for doing so.

"In that case, you are more than qualified to stand at Wang Dahai's residence and cry out for justice." It was at this moment that the strategist walked in with a smile.

“Magistrate, it’s time for you to start dissecting them today. Several people who have cried foul have paid money and are just waiting for your verdict.” Wang Dahai smiled lewdly when he heard his strategist say this.

"Among the people who have been crying out for justice lately, are there any who are even a little pretty? Actually, they can come and cry out for justice even if they don't pay money, and I will definitely stand up for them."

It was at this moment that Chen Er was brought in by the guards. One of the guards looked at Chen Er with great displeasure and said...

"You're lucky you can stand aside for now. We'll deal with you after our county magistrate finishes his case."

After the guard finished speaking, he left on his own. Chen Er and Ma Dazhi both laughed. It was the first time Chen Er had seen such an arrogant and domineering county magistrate. Chen Er really wanted to know who this Wang Dahai was.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion, Wang Dahai, walked out from the back door. He was dressed in official robes and walked in very arrogantly. A guard said to him with a fawning smile.

"Reporting to you, sir, when I went out on the street today, I saw this group of people performing in our jurisdiction."

"They still won't pay, especially since that guy specifically asked to see you by name and his attitude was extremely rude. I beg you, sir, to investigate this thoroughly." Upon hearing the guard's words, Wang Dahai's eyes narrowed into slits.

"Your husband was beaten to death. What evidence do you have? Bring it up here so I can see it."

After Wang Dahai finished speaking, he looked at the young woman expectantly.

As if she already knew Wang Dahai's temperament, the woman immediately swayed her sexy figure and threw herself into Wang Dahai's arms.

"Sir, they're telling the truth. Just give me the verdict quickly, whatever evidence you need." Wang Dahai, his mouth practically watering, hurriedly agreed and immediately began to pronounce the verdict.

"The evidence is conclusive. Arrest the suspect immediately and sentence him to death. He will be executed next autumn." After Wang Dahai finished speaking, he was about to embrace the young woman and walk into his room when the strategist coughed.

"Your Honor, there are still a few people here waiting for your verdict."

At that moment, the county magistrate glanced at Chen Er, and Wang Dahai was immediately captivated by Qin Luoshen beside Chen Er, even though the young woman he was currently holding in his arms was quite beautiful.

But she's not even in the same league as Qin Luoshen and Yang Xiaomei.

So at that time, the county magistrate pushed the woman in his arms away with a bit of disgust, and Wang Dahai then looked at Chen Er with a smile and said.

"Who exactly are you? Quickly introduce yourself. I suspect that you are not only performing without my permission, but also within my jurisdiction."

Moreover, there's suspicion of trafficking women. Bring him down immediately!" Chen Er looked at the county magistrate and immediately laughed.

“My name is Chen Er, and this is my identity. What is your crime now?”

After Chen Er finished speaking, he showed off his jade pendant. When Wang Dahai saw the jade pendant, he couldn't help but tremble.

Anyone with half a brain could see that this jade pendant was a symbol of Chen Er's identity.
