The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 648 Expresses Sympathy

This prince is utterly blind; at this critical juncture, he actually dared to act impulsively towards Chen Er. How could this not infuriate Chen Er?

When the prince heard Chen Er say this, he immediately put away his temper. Just then, several officials walked in.

This was someone who had a good relationship with the prince, but he didn't know that the prince's daughter had died.

Just yesterday, the emperor's concubine sought out a powerful figure and spent the night with him, essentially exchanging her body for his help in pleading for her father's life.

"Chen Er, please do me the honor of releasing the prince first. I will always remember this kindness."

This adult completely disregarded Chen Er, after all, Chen Er's official position was rather low. If it weren't for the emperor's support, Chen Er wouldn't have the right to be so presumptuous.

Upon hearing this person's words, Chen Er immediately laughed. Originally, Chen Er had wanted to find someone to test it out.

Is the token given by the Emperor really as powerful as the legends say? It seems we finally have a candidate today. Chen Er smiled.

“Lord Li, although your official rank is higher than mine, the Emperor has already spoken. No one is allowed to plead for the Prince anymore, or they will be doing the same thing to the entire Ming Dynasty. I'm giving you one chance. Go back now.”

Chen Er's indifferent voice made the adult very unhappy.

When has this official ever been treated like this? Chen Er's lowly official position showed him no respect, which greatly displeased the official.

Chen Er, let me tell you, don't be so arrogant. After all, we'll see each other all the time. If you act so decisively, don't blame us for being rude to you later.

The adult started threatening the young man, and Chen Er frowned and shouted.

"Where are Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong? Arrest this guy!"

At Chen Er's command, Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong, who were already prepared, rushed in and immediately pinned the adult to the ground.

"Chen Er, what are you doing? You're courting death! Do you know who I am? What right do you have with your official rank? Release me now, or you'll regret it!"

This adult was simply stubborn and wouldn't give up until he was completely cornered. Even at this critical juncture, he still wanted to threaten Chen Er, which made Chen Er extremely angry.

Chen Er smiled indifferently and placed the black token from his pocket in front of the adult.

"This is a gift from His Majesty today. His Majesty has already made up his mind to kill the Prince. How dare you come out and stop him at this time? You simply have no respect for His Majesty."

The once arrogant and domineering Lord Li became as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant after seeing the token, and immediately began to kowtow and admit his mistakes to Chen Er.

"It's all my fault, Chen Er. I acted impulsively and made a mistake. Besides, I'm not young anymore. Please forgive me this time." This Lord Li began to speak kindly to Chen Er, who smiled slightly.

“You say you’re not young anymore, but just yesterday when the Emperor’s concubine asked you to sleep with her, you were full of energy.” Chen Er’s words made the adult choke.

Chen Er was right, so Lord Li sacrificed his life to plead for the prince, and this story became a legend.

Many people have to admire the name Chen Er.

At this crucial moment, Chen Er actually managed to get a token for the Emperor, and it was the kind of token that was executed first and reported later. No one dared to plead for the Prince anymore.

"Your Highness, I'll ask you one last time: do you admit that Huang Xiaolong was wrongly killed, and that you did it all by yourself?" The prince looked at Chen Er with reddened eyes.

“I admit that Wei Zhongxian is here too. You must also capture Wei Zhongxian and avenge my daughter.”

The prince now hates Wei Zhongxian to the core. Just now, the prince's confidant also told the prince some news.

That was the fact that the prince's daughter had been murdered. Every official in the Ming Dynasty knew this, and the concubine's death had nothing to do with Wei Zhengxian.

However, the emperor had no evidence and no way to deal with Wei Zhongxian, so the matter had to be temporarily put aside. Chen Er smiled bitterly when he heard the prince's words.

"Don't worry, you go ahead. I will definitely settle things with Wei Zhongxian and give you and your daughter justice."

Li Yingcai, a prince, still can't believe he was ruined by Chen Er. If he had another chance, he would never have colluded with Wei Zhongxian.

In the end, Wei Zhongxian escaped unscathed, but Chen Er lost his life prematurely. Moreover, Wei Zhongxian never appeared again after his death, having pleaded for the prince once, which made Chen Er very depressed.

With this black token in hand, even if Chen Er couldn't kill Wei Zhongxian directly, he could still fabricate a crime against Wei Zhongxian.

Chen Er was also very helpless now that Wei Zhongxian was not showing up. After the prince died, the court was calm for a while.

However, something frustrating happened to Chen Er: the Empress Dowager actually ascended to the throne, and even with the blessings of many civil and military officials, she regained her original position.

In Chen Er's mind, this was yet another missed opportunity.

This put Chen Er in a very difficult position. He knew it was time for him to back down from his arrogant ways. However, during this period, Chen Er continued to weaken Wei Zhengxian's power, which caused Wei Zhongxian considerable distress.

"If I'm unlucky enough not to come back alive, I hope you can get my body back from Wei Zhongxian. I don't want to be left with nothing but bones after I die."

Zhang Tianfei's expression turned somewhat forlorn as he spoke.

Although being an assassin is something many people admire, especially his skills, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, even a master has his own difficulties. Take Zhang Tianfei for example. He can't stay by Wei Zhongxian's side, because the emperor's men are watching him closely at all times.

Upon hearing Zhang Tianfei's words, Chen Er expressed sympathy, but still did not want Zhang Tianfei to take the risk.

This was very unfair to Zhang Tianfei. He could have left now, but he still decided to assassinate Wei Zhongxian. Part of the reason for this was Chen Er, since Chen Er had given Zhang Tianfei a large sum of money last time.

The intention was to have Zhang Tianfei assassinate Wei Zhongxian, because Zhang Tianfei was skilled in martial arts, and even if he couldn't kill Wei Zhongxian, he could still escape from Wei Zhongxian's clutches.
