Chapter 366 Involuntary
"How dare you spout such arrogant words! It wasn't until your men found me that I understood what was going on."
"Chen Er, you're really good at scheming. You just grab any old beggar on the street and claim it's certified. Do you think I'd believe a beggar's words?"
Moreover, this beggar reeks of foul odor and should never be in court. Guards, seize this beggar! He conspired with Chen Er to alter testimonies; today I will interrogate him.
As soon as Sun Yunhe finished speaking, the guards behind him with swords were about to make their move. Chen Er waved his hand, and Ma Dazhi and his men immediately protected the old beggar. Chen Er calmly looked at Sun Yunhe before calling out.
“I admit that your power is enormous, and most people wouldn’t dare to mess with you. But I’m different. I’m here to serve the people. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing here.”
"If you think you can bully me just because you're a high-ranking official, then don't blame me for being impolite."
After Chen Er finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand, and a group of people ran in from outside the door. These people were all holding long knives. It was obvious that if Sun Yunhe made a move against the old beggar under Chen Er's nose, then they would not be able to leave this place today.
"Chen Er, how dare you! Since you openly oppose me, let me ask you this: why should I believe the old beggar's words?"
"Do you think we're all fools? So, does that mean I could just find any beggar tomorrow and say that you, Chen Er, committed murder, and everyone would believe me?" Sun Yunhe said impatiently.
Chen Er had long anticipated that Sun Yunhe would make excuses for Wang Dawei, and Chen Er could only manage a helpless bitter smile.
"Lord Sun Yunhe, I know you and Wang Dawei are very close, but today I am going to convict Wang Dawei. No one can exonerate him. Guards, bring me the witnesses."
As soon as Chen Er finished speaking, a timid man walked in from outside. When this big man appeared, Wang Dawei suddenly jolted. Wang Dawei, who had just stood up from the ground, sat down again. He felt a chill involuntarily rising from the soles of his feet.
"Dog, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to run away with those guys? You didn't even listen to me?" Wang Dawei was dumbfounded when he saw Dog.
I don't know how Gouzi ended up here. This man's name is Gouzi. He was one of the people who accompanied Wang Dawei on a stroll in the street that day and accidentally killed Wang Xuelian's husband. Gouzi looked at Wang Dawei with no respect left, only hatred and bloodlust.
"Wang Dawei, how did I end up here? You still have the nerve to ask me? Wang Dawei, I'm asking you this right now: how did my cousin die? I've been waiting for this day for so long. My cousin was kind-hearted and had a lively and lovely personality. But just because my cousin was so beautiful, you actually bullied her in front of me."
"Afterwards, my cousin Su Ru hanged herself, but you acted as if nothing had happened, gave me a hundred taels of silver, told me not to tell anyone, and asked me to work for you. People have hearts, and heaven is watching what people do. Wang Dawei, your death day has come today."
Gouzi's words left Wang Dawei dumbfounded. He felt that he was powerless to change the situation today, but he still glared at Gouzi with murderous eyes.
"Dog, don't make too much noise. If you have any grievances, just tell me. Today, I'm going to make an example of Wang Dawei." Chen Er slammed his hand on the table, feigning a sinister tone.
Sun Yunhe originally wanted to speak up and question Gouzi about his nonsense, but Chen Er's forceful slam on the table made Sun Yunhe swallow his words.
"Reporting to you, sir, my nickname is Gouzi. I am just an ordinary henchman for Wang Dawei. My cousin is named Xiulan. A year ago, she was harassed by young master Wang Dawei. However, my cousin does not like Wang Dawei. No matter how good Wang Dawei is to my cousin, she is always rejected."
"I originally thought Wang Dawei would give me some face, after all, I was a good-for-nothing henchman in Wang Dawei's family at the time, but I never expected that one day, Wang Dawei would forcibly take my cousin as his own."
"And I was there at the time. A dozen thugs pinned me to the ground and made me watch my cousin being abused by this beast."
“Afterwards, my cousin hanged herself. I had been raised by my cousin since I was a child. I was furious at the time. I wanted to take a kitchen knife and cut off Wang Dawei’s head, but I knew I absolutely could not do that. I had to infiltrate Wang Dawei’s circle and take revenge on him when the opportunity arose.”
Gouzi's words made the atmosphere extremely oppressive. No one expected that Wang Dawei, the young master of the Wang family, would be worse than a beast, forcibly taking Gouzi's cousin. Moreover, according to Gouzi, the girl was just a maid in Wang Dawei's house, and now she had been brutally murdered. This made Chen Er feel extremely resentful.
Now Wang Dawei was dumbfounded. He finally understood why this bastard named Gouzi had been lurking around him all along. Originally, Wang Dawei thought that money could make the devil turn the millstone, and he gave Gouzi a lot of benefits. He never expected that Gouzi would come out and bite him at this critical moment.
"Dog, I don't care whether what you're saying is true or false, but I do have a question. If we consider things from the perspective of ordinary people, I feel that what you're saying is a bit unbelievable." Zhao Beixing suddenly spoke up.
It seems Zhao Beixing is determined to fight Chen Er to the death. Gouzi glanced at Zhao Beixing with resentful eyes.
"Sir, you said what I just said was unbelievable, so let me ask you this: if your cousin were forcibly taken by someone, would you still be here acting like nothing happened, and even saying I'm talking nonsense? Is your heart black?" Gouzi shouted angrily.
"How dare you! Do you know who this lord is? How dare you speak to Lord Zhao Beixing like that? I think you're courting death."
Zhao Tianming was displeased and was about to make a move, but Ma Dazhi had already placed the long knife in his hand. Zhao Tianming sighed and loosened his clenched fist once again.
"Tianming, I told you long ago not to be so reckless. I was just questioning Gouzi, but I didn't expect so many troublemakers to appear in this place. It looks like I'll have to clean it up when I have time."
Instead of getting angry, Zhao Beixing laughed and stared straight at Gouzi, causing Gouzi to shiver involuntarily.
