Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 171 You'll see if I dare!

"Why should I explain to you? It's none of your business why I arrested people!" Dong Xiaozhen said defiantly, her neck stiff.

The real reason is actually quite simple.
He knew perfectly well that someone had to take responsibility for this, and since he was in charge of perimeter security, he was definitely trying to shirk the responsibility.

Or rather, the Japanese officers will definitely make him the scapegoat!
Therefore, he could only be forgiven by Ono-ta-kun by frantically making money and arresting people to demonstrate his value.

In his view, the root cause was Cao Wei Da!

He hates Cao Wei Da!
He believed that if Ono no Taijun had assigned Cao Wei Da to be in charge of the outer perimeter security, then this matter would have been none of his business!

Now look what's happened! Such a huge incident has occurred!
He is the typical person who only blames others when something goes wrong, and will never blame himself. He would never think that he took the blame for the incident.

Therefore, when he heard Jia Guangzheng's wife say that she knew Cao Weida, he immediately tied her up without saying a word and then gang-raped Jia Zhangshi in a fit of rage.

“Originally, this was none of my business, but since it involves me, I have no choice but to intervene.” Cao Weida narrowed his eyes, looking at him coldly.
"I advise you to give me a reasonable explanation, or I won't say I didn't warn you."

"What explanation do you want to give me! I'm not your subordinate, you have no right to tell me what to do!" Dong Xiaozhen showed no respect whatsoever. Cao Weida was Ono Taijun's man, and so was he. They were all Ono Taijun's dogs, they were all the same, so why should I explain myself to you!
I did it on purpose, so what can you do about it!

They really think they're so great just because they're a patrol officer? Pshaw!

He arrogantly glanced at the surrounding police officers and said fiercely, "Get out of my way! Anyone who dares to obstruct our work will be considered an accomplice of the rebels!"

The seven men, who were being held down, looked pleadingly at Cao Weida. At this moment, Cao Weida was their only savior. If Cao Weida didn't care about them, they would really be doomed.

The surrounding patrol officers ignored Dong Xiaozhen's threats and looked at Cao Weida, waiting for his instructions.

It can be said that even when Qiu Ziming was alive, his words were not as effective as Cao Wei Da's now.

There was no way around it; Cao Wei had given them too much.

Cao Wei was very satisfied with this; the money had not been wasted.

A contemptuous smile curled at the corner of his lips. "You dare threaten me? Who do you think you are!"
Just because you've latched onto Ono Oda, you think I won't dare touch you?

He said calmly, "If you refuse to answer honestly, then don't blame me. Beat him to death until he tells me."

Dong Xiaozhen's expression changed drastically, "You dare!"

Don't dare?

You'll see if I dare!

"What are you waiting for? Make your move!"

"Yes!" *N, they had been displeased with Dong Xiaozhen for a long time. They were all under Cao Weida's command, and disrespecting Cao Weida was tantamount to slapping them in the face!
If we don't obey and work hard after taking so much money from Master Cao, that money will be a hot potato!
The next moment, Zhao Dashan took the lead, pulled out his baton, and pounced on them.

"Ah!!" Dong Xiaozhen pulled back her arm to protect her head, her face contorted in pain, and roared, "Cao Weida! How dare you!"

"Cao Weida, you're finished! You're finished! I'm definitely going to report you to Ono-tai-kun. You've been protecting these rebels, and you're definitely not immune to the consequences!"

"Idiot, still acting like a primary school kid telling his parents—no, telling his master." Cao Weida rolled his eyes. He'd already hit him, and now he was telling me whether he dared or not? That was all nonsense.

In the crowd, one of Inspector Lu's officers tugged at their captain's sleeve. "Sir, should we tell Inspector Lu?"

The patrol chief frowned. He and Dong Xiaozhen both followed Patrol Officer Lu. Although he also looked down on Dong Xiaozhen, they were, after all, from the same trench. It wouldn't be right for Patrol Officer Lu to just stand by and watch Dong Xiaozhen be beaten like this.

Moreover, if Cao Weida is allowed to continue like this, wouldn't Lu, the patrol officer, be seen as inferior to Cao, the patrol officer in the eyes of others?
After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Go and call Inspector Lu."

Officer Lu, who was relieving himself in the latrine, was stunned when he heard the policeman's report.

Holy crap, that son of a bitch Dong Xiao really knows how to cause me trouble!
Dong Xiaozhen is such an idiot! An idiot!!
Why did you provoke Cao Wei Da for no reason? You're just bored!

He's so utterly depraved and courting death, why should I step in and take the blame for him?
Was Cao Wei Da so easy to mess with?!

Cao Weida is someone even Director Xu has to curry favor with; he's a guest of honor of Ono Oda!

They deserved to be beaten to death! Damn it!!
Others might not know, but how could Lu Ju not know?
Anyone who offended Cao Wei before is already dead, with grass growing three feet high on their grave!
The mourner thought he had climbed onto Ono-sama's coattails, but what was the result?
The whole "discovering Kenji Goto's resale of supplies and his heroic sacrifice" thing is utter bullshit!
He was killed by Cao Wei Da!

The thought of the possible outcome of confronting Cao Wei Da sent chills down his spine.

Cao Wei's relationship with the Taijun (female military leaders) was extremely close!
No, Inspector Cao is definitely angry right now. We need to let him vent his anger first!
He berated the patrol officer who came to report:
"Can't you see I'm taking a dump? Wait until I'm done, then get lost!"

"???" The patrolman who came to report was somewhat taken aback. "But sir, Dong..." "Dong my ass! Can't you understand human language? Come on, tell me who you are, and I'll give you a good reward later!"

"Uh..." The patrolman seemed to have a sudden realization and immediately turned to run: "Um, sir, I'm leaving right now, I'm leaving right now."

"Damn it, a bunch of brainless idiots!" Inspector Lu plugged his nostrils with two fingers to block out the stench from the latrine that could make a person marinate. If that policeman hadn't come, he was prepared to pull up his pants and leave before he could get marinated.

But now, he's made up his mind: even if it means getting the marinade too strong, he'll squat there a little longer.
bang bang bang~~
"Ah~~ Master Cao, spare us! Master Cao, spare us! It was the patrol chief who ordered us to do it, it has nothing to do with us!"

"I really don't know! Please stop hitting me!"

The police officers who were beaten cried out in pain, curled up on the ground and desperately protected their heads. The officers who beat them were really going all out!
If they didn't beg for mercy, they suspected they might be beaten to death on the spot.

"Continue. If you kill him, it's on me." Cao Weida didn't even lift his eyelids. You think you can just say you'll spare my life and then not fight me? Don't I have any dignity?

He simply refused to believe that none of these people knew the specific reason.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they really didn't know. These guys aided and abetted evil, and did so many heinous things. They deserved to be beaten to death!

Seeing that the situation was far from over, the patrol officers lying on the ground became frightened. One of them could no longer endure the beating and shouted, "I'll talk! I know why the patrol officer was causing you trouble!"

"Stop hitting the one who wants to confess, the rest of you keep hitting him!"

"Huang Dadan, how dare you!" Dong Xiaozhen, whose face was bruised and swollen from the beating, was furious. He had barely uttered a word when Zhao Dashan struck him on the back with a stick, causing him to gasp for breath in pain.

"Pfft~~" Huang Dadan spat out a mouthful of bloody foam mixed with broken teeth. He looked at Dong Xiaozhen, who had been beaten beyond recognition, and then at his colleagues who were pointing and whispering to each other but had not stepped forward to help. He then secretly glanced at Cao Weida, who was staring at him with piercing eyes, and his neck shrank back instantly.

His nickname is Huang Dadan (meaning "bold as a man"), but he's not Huang Lengzi (meaning "foolish as a fool"). How could he not see the situation clearly?
If he doesn't speak up, he might really be beaten to death!
Besides, she didn't get much of the loot herself. Dong Xiaozhen was trying her best to save her life, so she was unwilling to share the looted money with her subordinates. At most, she would give them a symbolic amount, like charity.

He didn't have much money himself, and the trouble was caused by Dong Xiaozhen herself. He felt he had done more than enough by being beaten so badly!

"Bring him here."

Xiao Erduo, who had somehow gotten close to Cao Weida, immediately stepped forward and, together with his men, dragged Huang Dadan over like a dead dog.

Cao Weida looked coldly at Huang Dadan lying down: "Speak."

Huang Dadan dared not delay and recounted the whole story: "Master Cao, that night I happened to be hiding with Patrolman Dong Xiaozhen, and he complained about it himself."

Huang Dadan betrayed Dong Xiaozhen completely, and upon hearing this, the patrol officers who were watching the commotion immediately erupted in uproar.

"I knew Dong Xiaozhen was a scoundrel, but I didn't expect him to be this much of a scoundrel!"

"Exactly! They eagerly volunteered for the outer perimeter security work, but when something went wrong, they blamed Master Cao for not taking it on. What kind of thought process is that?"

"Who says otherwise? That's so shameless."

"If you ask me, he deserved it!"

There are many heartless police officers, but even they felt that Dong Xiaozhen was truly heartless.

Among the crowd, the patrol chief who had previously sent his men to inform Patrolman Lu suddenly felt a pang of regret.

He was ashamed to associate with such a person!

If others knew that he helped Dong Xiaozhen, wouldn't they categorize him as one of the same kind of people?
I used to just dislike his personality, but now I feel disgusted by him.

Damn it, that son of a bitch Dong Xiaozhen, she's really done a lot of harm!

The surrounding patrol officers felt ashamed, and Cao Weida felt the same way.

He thought Dong Xiaozhen was just jealous of his gaining Ono Oda's trust, but who would have thought the reason would be so bizarre!
After realizing what he had done, he couldn't help but laugh.

Such a perfectly legitimate reason was handed to them so readily.

At this point, Dong Xiaozhen could be said to have been universally disliked by everyone in the Fifth District Police Station.

He waved for them to stop, walked over to Dong Xiaozhen, and sneered, "You're really something, Dong Xiaozhen. You messed things up yourself and are now blaming me, aren't you? They said they know me, but you treat them like this. You don't respect me at all."

"Cao Weida, don't be so smug!" Even at this point, Dong Xiaozhen still didn't think she had done anything wrong. Instead, she turned the tables and shouted, "You obstructed my arrest of the rebels and even beat me, someone who was helping Ono-sama with his orders. If Ono-sama finds out, he will definitely not let you off the hook!"
