The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 386 A disagreement

They will definitely learn what regret is. Zhao Tianming had not expected Chen Er to be so ruthless and decisive, ready to take action at the slightest disagreement.

Although Zhao Tianming had his own men, their numbers were not large, which is why he sent someone to ask Lord Zhao Beixing for reinforcements. Chen Er knew that he absolutely could not delay any longer. Once Lord Zhao Beixing arrived with his men, no matter how powerful Chen Er was, he would not be able to break down the wall in front of Lord Zhao Beixing.

That was simply a pipe dream and a fantasy. After thinking it over, Chen Er knew that he should ask the Embroidered Uniform Guard for help. Chen Er wondered if Zhang Xingchen had managed to win over Zhao Tianming's mistress. After thinking about this, a smug smile appeared on Chen Er's lips.

"Liu Chengdong, you should quickly take your men to find the Embroidered Uniform Guard and ask them to come and help. I believe the Embroidered Uniform Guard will be very interested in the situation here."

Chen Er's indifferent voice made Zhao Tianming stagger, almost falling to the ground. Cold sweat poured down his forehead as if a faucet had been turned on.

Zhao Tianming never imagined that he would be defeated by Chen Er today. Having been an official for so long, he had seen all sorts of situations, yet today he had suffered a hidden loss at Chen Er's hands, making Zhao Tianming grit his teeth in anger. The thing Zhao Tianming feared most had happened.

Chen Er actually wanted to ask the Embroidered Uniform Guard for help, and Zhao Tianming really backed down in the face of those people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Because the Embroidered Uniform Guard was his adversary and had long wanted to take action against him, but they had never had the opportunity or evidence, which was why it had been delayed until now. But now Chen Er had actually torn down the facade completely.

Therefore, Zhao Tianming must completely break ties with Chen Er in order to ensure his own safety.

"Guards! Don't let any of these people escape! They're all petty thieves trying to steal from me!"

Zhao Tianming's eyes lit up with an idea. When Zhang Dashu heard Zhao Tianming say that, he immediately blocked the doorway. Not to mention a person trying to get out, even a fly would have a hard time getting out.

Chen Er's lips twitched involuntarily several times. Chen Er hadn't expected Zhao Tianming to really break ties with him. In order to hide his secret stash of money, Zhao Tianming was going to go on a killing spree this time.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and the muscles on Zhao Tianming's cheeks began to contort and deform.

Zhao Tianming stretched out a trembling finger and pointed it at Chen Er's head: "Chen Er, how dare you! You're just a low-ranking official, what right do you have to jump around here? You're asking for death."

"Today I will definitely catch you and grind you to dust!" Zhao Tianming said angrily.

Zhao Tianming could no longer suppress his burning anger. Chen Er had brought this upon himself, so he shouldn't blame Zhao Tianming for being ruthless.

Zhao Tianming pushed off the ground with both legs, his body moving like a whirlwind as he lunged directly at Chen Er. Zhao Tianming had only one thought in his mind: to cut the Gordian knot quickly.

"Zhao Tianming, you old dog, how dare you stop me from handling the case? Well then, today I'll act first and report later, and hang your head on the city wall. Let's see who dares to be a corrupt official in the future."

Instead of laughing at Chen Er's words, Zhao Tianming swung his massive fist, which carried a strange gust of wind, and smashed it towards Chen Er. Their fists finally collided in mid-air.

With a sharp crack, as if the air itself were about to explode, Zhao Tianming didn't...

Thinking of Chen Er's explosive power, which was so formidable, Zhao Tianming, an old man, involuntarily took several steps back.

He stomped so hard that the ground was cracked in several places before he finally calmed down. Zhao Tianming's lips twitched involuntarily several times.

Zhao Tianming's huge fist kept swinging back and forth in the air to relieve the pain in his wrist. Chen Er was not much better off than Zhao Tianming.

He stumbled back several steps and even bumped into a table. Fortunately, Chen Er was a trained martial artist, which helped him regain his composure.

However, Chen Er also knew that Zhao Tianming had murderous intentions towards him, but Chen Er was no different, which was why the two of them fought so fiercely just now. A mocking smile appeared on Chen Er's lips.

"Zhao Tianming, you're really feeling guilty. Well then, I'll see what you're capable of today, that you dare to show off in front of me. You don't care about the people when you're an official, you're destined to have this day."

Chen Er's indifferent voice made Zhao Tianming's brows furrow, and he immediately burst into laughter.

Zhao Tianming, with his long hair fluttering in the wind, looked somewhat like a hermit, before angrily shouting.

"Chen Er, you're really something. I never dreamed that you would attack me first. So you're a first-rank official. Do you know what that means? A higher rank can crush a lower one. If you don't kill me today, you'll be in for a world of hurt."

Zhao Tianming's voice was extremely cold, leaving Chen Er feeling somewhat helpless.

However, Chen Er was not afraid. The reason he chose to break ties with Zhao Tianming was a decision he made out of desperation. Moreover, Chen Er never did anything without certainty. It was just a pity that he had no way to notify the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

It's unclear whether Zhang Xingchen has successfully won over Zhao Tianming's mistress. If he has, he might bring her over on his own initiative; who knows?

Chen Er thought of this and saw a glimmer of hope. Therefore, Chen Er had to be as imposing as Zhao Tianming to give his men confidence.

Chen Er could also forcefully suppress Zhao Tianming: "Zhao Tianming, you can't escape today no matter what. Quickly kneel down and suffer the punishment. I will put in a good word for you in front of the Emperor, and your old life can still be saved."

Chen Er wasn't stupid; he figured it was better to stall for time first.

In that case, once the Imperial Guards arrive, Chen Er will be able to put his skills to good use. Zhao Tianming's lips twitched several times.

"I've embezzled so much money, how could the emperor possibly let me off the hook? The emperor isn't stupid; he hates corrupt officials the most."

Unfortunately, our side is too powerful, so the Emperor won't touch us. But now that I'm in trouble, the Emperor will make an example of me.

Zhao Tianming looked at Chen Er coldly and said.

Zhao Tianming stopped wasting words with Chen Er. He knew perfectly well that Chen Er's refusal to make a move was simply a way to buy time.
