Chapter 389 Even with Wings, It's Hard to Fly
"Chen Er, don't be so arrogant. I am your opponent today. If I don't beat you to death today, I'm not Zhang Dashu."
At this moment, Zhang Dashu wouldn't waste any more words. His body moved like a whirlwind, lunging at Chen Er once again. Chen Er faced Zhang Dashu's sudden sneak attack.
Chen Er coldly said, "Zhang Dashu, since you're actually asking to die, then I'll grant your wish today. You dared to collude with Zhao Tianming; your good days are over."
After saying this, Chen Er charged forward again. At this moment, Chen Er knew that he absolutely could not delay any longer, because it wouldn't be long before Lord Zhao Beixing arrived with his men. At that time, Chen Er would have no chance to escape. After thinking of this, Chen Er roared.
With a sweeping leg kick, Chen Er sent Zhang Dashu's knee crashing down. This time, Chen Er's speed and power were even greater than before. Zhang Dashu hadn't expected Chen Er to choose to clash head-on with him at the same time.
A faint smile appeared on Zhang Dashu's lips, but the next second, he felt a cold weapon piercing his back.
At some point, Ma Dazhi stood next to Zhang Dashu, grinning widely at him from behind.
"How dare you hurt my master! You're asking for trouble, you deserve to die!" After saying this, Ma Dazhi didn't even look at Zhang Dashu's corpse. He kicked Zhang Dashu's body away with all his might. With Zhang Dashu dead, it would be much easier for the three of them to deal with Zhao Tianming. Zhao Tianming was truly terrified.
Unexpectedly, the three of them joined forces and killed Zhang Dashu in a short period of time. Chen Er's cold eyes swept over Zhao Tianming.
"My lord, I'll ask you one last time: do you plead guilty or not? Is there a secret stash of yours hidden inside this wall? Are you going to keep this up until you're completely convinced?" Chen Er's calm voice made Zhao Tianming laugh instead of get angry.
"Chen Er, it seems you've been dreaming of killing me, haven't you? What a pity, I've disappointed you too much. How could there be a hidden compartment in the wall? And there's no secret stash of money as you claim. So, take your men and leave now, and I'll pretend nothing happened, and we can still be friends." Zhao Tianming's words made Chen Er roar to the sky.
Chen Er kept shaking his head: "Zhao Tianming, you really are an old fox. You won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Since you won't admit it, then I'll beat you to death today."
Chen Er was about to make a move after he finished speaking, but a lot of footsteps came from outside the door, and a roar rang out at the doorway.
"Chen Er, how dare you! Who gave you the audacity to touch Zhao Tianming? Lord Zhao Beixing brought quite a few people, and they completely blocked the entrance."
It was obvious that Zhao Beixing would absolutely not allow Chen Er to escape. Chen Er had not expected Zhao Beixing to arrive so quickly. At this moment, Zhao Beixing glared fiercely at Chen Er. If looks could kill, Chen Er would not know how many times he would have died.
"Chen Er, you've disappointed me so much. You brought so many people to Zhao Tianming's place, what exactly are you planning to do? I heard you're going to demolish his house, is that true?" Having come this far, Zhao Beixing didn't want to waste any more words with Chen Er and cut straight to the point.
Zhao Beixing's words made Chen Er's lips twitch a few times. It seemed that Zhao Beixing was going to strike first and find a crime for him. He could just find a reason to have his men arrest Chen Er, and then killing Chen Er would be a piece of cake.
Of course, Chen Er came here to kill Zhao Tianming, and he no longer made excuses for himself; instead, he took the initiative to admit it.
"That's right, I'm here today to save Zhao Tianming's life. There's a small treasury inside that wall, and I estimate it contains more money than the Emperor himself. If the Emperor finds out, he'll be furious, and we'll all be in deep trouble. What do you suggest we do?"
Chen Er felt a surge of anger upon seeing Zhao Beixing's arrival. He hadn't expected Zhao Beixing to arrive so quickly. However, Chen Er had already made up his mind that even if Zhao Beixing stood up for Zhao Tianming today, Chen Er would not allow it.
“I advise Lord Zhao Beixing not to get involved in this matter, because I have already found Zhao Tianming’s secret stash. If you insist on getting involved, you should know how serious the consequences will be,” Chen Er said to Zhao Beixing expressionlessly.
At this moment, Zhao Beixing felt that Chen Er had become a stranger, no longer possessing the same warmth and approachability as when they first met.
Zhao Beixing sighed, knowing full well that he absolutely could not let Chen Er break down this wall, otherwise, once Chen Er really found out about Zhao Tianming's secret stash of money...
Then, all that awaits Zhao Tianming is death. If that happens, then when Zhao Tianming falls from power, he will be next.
After thinking about this, Zhao Beixing felt a chill rise from his heels and spread throughout his entire body. Zhao Beixing stared intently at Chen Er.
Zhao Beixing seemed to see right through Chen Er: "Chen Er, if I didn't allow it today, what right do you have to bring people here to search Zhao Tianming's study? What qualifications do you have? Remember, you are just a first-rank official. Now I'm going to test you."
Zhao Beixing sneered inwardly before uttering those words.
Zhao Beixing knew that Chen Er was in the wrong. Chen Er's position was relatively low, only a first-rank official. How could he have the right to search Zhao Tianming's study so recklessly? This was against the rules. After hearing Zhao Beixing's words, Zhao Tianming's eyes lit up.
Zhao Tianming agreed, saying that Chen Er's position was lower than his own. There's a saying that goes, "A higher-ranking official can crush you," which is exactly the point. So, what qualifications does Chen Er have?
"Chen Er, what is your crime now? I didn't want to touch you, but you've tried to shoot yourself in the foot. So, little monster, I won't be polite to you." Zhao Tianming said in a serious tone.
Chen Er was immediately annoyed. He was so angry that he wanted to punch Zhao Tianming's head and smash it into a pulp to vent his anger. However, Chen Er also knew that he should not get angry at this critical moment, because that would be falling into Lord Zhao Beixing's trap.
