"No, no, no! I will tell, I will tell everything!" Boss Lee lowered his eyesight and had broken into a cold sweat in fear but he still managed to roll his eyes. "It is Magistrate Liao's idea to run this restaurant in the first place. He said that it's really easy to cheat on the outsiders and they dare not say anything. That's why we set such a high price. After that, Bayview Seafood Restaurant became popular so Magistrate Liao claimed that we could worry less and gain more by serving cheap dead shrimps and crabs. I hesitated for this may cause problems but Magistrate Liao's favorite son, Young Master Liao assured that there wouldn't be any problem as the yamen also belongs to them!"
After all, Xiao Yu was different from Liao Qingtian, he was his nephew!
Baili Jia Jue noticed that and raised the corner of his lips evilly. "Then we should ask Young Master Liao to come over to the yamen. Besides, please bring along Magistrate Liao so that he could be Liao Qingtian's companion along his journey."
Helian Wei Wei heard Baili Jia Jue's words and approached him in silence, she spoke in a volume that only both of them could hear, "Your last sentence..."
"Yes… I'm imitating you."
His Highness had admitted straightforwardly but this had disconcerted Helian Wei Wei. She could not help but twitch her lips several times.
Baili Jia Jue gazed at the lovely face in front of him, revealing a deep expression that resembled a smile.
Now, Helian Wei Wei was 100 percent confirmed that His Highness was dallying with her.
What a hobby!
Forget it, for she was a bossy president after all.
All the bossy presidents in the novel's world would be tortured by their halves all the time.
His Highness was so much better as compared with those who would often cry, saying, "No, I don't want to, I really don't want".
Helian Wei Wei who was satisfied took a praiseworthy glance at Baili Jia Jue.
On the contrary, Heize who was standing beside her and observed the way they get along reached his hand to his chin and stroked it. He pulled her over and said before Magistrate Liao and Young Master Liao had arrived, "What's going on between you and the Third Prince?"
"What do you mean by 'what's going on'?" Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and answered "Oh" before she.spoke seriously, "Don't you know? I've been telling you before that as a bossy president, we should adapt to our other half. This is all about own doctrine! And standards!"
Upon hearing this, Heize's expression stunned.
He only retrieved his extremely slow voice speed after so long, "Thus, you're still defining yourself as a bossy president and the Third Prince as the opposite of a wooer?"
After finishing his sentence, Heize had a misconception as if he was choked by his own saliva.
It has been a long time, hadn't the Third Prince seen Her Highness''108 Ways to Court Your 'Wife'?
Why didn't he stop her from thinking in this way?
Helian Wei Wei gazed at Heize oddly. "It's me who courted him first."
Heize raged deep inside his heart!
Was this the key point?
She should focus on the reason why she would position herself as a bossy president!
Don't you notice that those bossy presidents are males?
While Heize took a deep breath and was about to say something, His Highness took a glance at him carelessly, with warning filled in his eyes.
At that moment, he was stumped.
He raised his head and looked up to the sky.
Then, he glanced at her sister, who had used to be astute yet silly and adorable now.
He reached out his hand to pat on Helian Wei Wei's shoulder. "You can just set your mind in that way, it's great."
Baili Jia Jue gazed at him for a while before talking to Helian Wei Wei, "Come over." His voice was very deep as if it was much husky when he further lowered his voice.
Helian Wei Wei approached him without any doubt and he suddenly took her by her hand.
Both of them had been standing close to each other and the clothes in ancient times had long sleeves so nobody would notice if they were having fingers intertwined.
The tip of her nose was filled his sweet smell together with the cooling sensation from his fingertips, Helian Wei Wei felt so good that she looked up and smiled to him in a silly manner.
Baili Jia Jue stunned and replaced the apathy in his eyes with gentleness; they were like the midnight sky with stars...
Heize was the only one in that yamen who noticed the facial expressions and gestures of these two individuals. He was laden with grief!
Excuse me, could you guys keep that to yourselves?
Why are Magistrate Liao and Young Master Liao still not here after so long?
Whether or not they were guilty, please interrupt these two people immediately!
Only then, Young Master Liao recalled that today was the unlucky day of Wei. Perhaps his uncle would require him to accuse the person with the surname of Wei so he followed the guards without any investigation and entered the yamen swaggeringly...
Chapter 528 - Killed Master Liao And Crushed Him!
Master Liao was still walking extremely arrogantly, as ever.
Unfortunately, he was not the sharpest tool in the shed.
He was merely a sheltered child who had always been safeguarded by his parents. He ambled in, completely oblivious.
Before this, he had always been able to leave the yamen freely unscathed.
Moreover, his uncle, who cherished him the most, was holding a high position in the yamen. Therefore, he had no scruples nor fear. When he saw Baili Jia Jue, he immediately yelled, "Why is this private advisor released? Uncle, he bullied me terribly before this! This uncivilized fool only knows how to make slanderous accusations at me!"
"You…"
Before Elder Helian could shut him up, the Retired Emperor who was sitting on the side casually interjected, "Oh? What did he do?"
"When he was in Fuping County, he fabricated countless evidence and besmirched my name, is that enough?" Master Liao said, while shaking his legs, "I know that he dares to act so arrogantly because he has the Chen family's support. Otherwise, how can a lowly sc.u.m like him arrest me? He's merely an insignificant private advisor, yet he dares to flaunt his authority here. I have seen countless people like him. He made himself seem rich and noble simply because he has a pretty face when in reality, he's just a poor bimbo."
Elder Helian could no longer contain himself when he heard this.
With a deafening noise, he stood up abruptly!
The Retired Emperor simply took a sip of tea, his eyes frigidly cold, and commanded, "Sit down, let your nephew finish speaking."
Elder Helian angrily clenched his teeth, as he understood what the Retired Emperor was implying- he was forbidding him from interrupting his nephew.
In the past, he had never felt that it was inappropriate for Xiao Yu to speak in such a manner.
After all, he was his only nephew.
Of course, he had to shower him with love!
What a brainless pig!
Is he so dumb that he can't read the situation now?
No matter how troubled Elder Helian's heart was, the milk was already spilled. Ever since young, Master Liao had always behaved lawlessly and fearlessly.
However, Master Liao did not know the identity of the person who was sitting beside his uncle, nor did he hear what the Retired Emperor had said just now. He merely thought that the person was a newcomer from the provincial capital. As he had never seen the imperial official before, he did not take him seriously.
Helian Wei Wei looked at him and smiled evilly, "According to you, I was wrong to declare you guilty?"
"Whether you were wrong or not, I'm sure you know yourself." Master Liao glanced at Helian Wei Wei with great disdain, saying, "I originally didn't want to argue with you, but you kept messing with me and trying to start a fight! You constantly try to punish me for my crimes, but look now! I'm still a free, innocent man. However,
I'm afraid your private advisor would be the one that's groveling for mercy after interrogating me. Let me enlighten you, this is the difference between you and me! Stop pretending that you're someone important. Who do you think you are? You're just a stinky nerd from a godforsaken countryside!" Having said that, he turned his head around and looked at Elder Helian, saying, "Uncle, that Wei person is certainly not worthy of being an imperial official, he hooked up with a village girl when he was at Fuping County. He would do anything to stand up for her. So, he asked his private advisor to slander me, locking me and my father up. You must severely punish him!"
"Shut your mouth!"
This time, Elder Helian finally yelled the words that he had in mind, with an ugly and distorted expression.
After that, the first thing he did was to apologize to the Retired Emperor. He had never broken into a cold sweat in fear before but now, he finally felt his knees weakening in horror.
"Your Highness, it's all my fault for not raising him properly. However, Xiao Yu is a child who would never harm anyone. He merely speaks rashly. I beg for Your Highness' benevolence and great mercy, please spare this child! Furthermore, what Xiao Yu said was not completely false. I received news claiming that Lord Wei was very intimate with a village girl from Fuping County, it's difficult not to be suspicious about it…"
Elder Helian said that, hoping to shift the attention of the Retired Emperor onto a different matter.
However, these very words would later become the quicksand that swallowed him whole.
Helian Wei Wei slowly began to speak, "Is Elder Helian implying that I'm the one who should be punished, and your nephew is simply a kid who's a little naive? You are quite the sweet talker, but isn't Master Liao almost 20 years old? Can he still be called a kid? Is he a giant baby?"
When she finished speaking, the entire yamen erupted into peals of roaring laughter.
No matter how dense Master Liao was, he could still detect the ridicule hidden between Helian Wei Wei's words. His huge, round face flushed a deep shade of red, while his lung inflated and deflated furiously as he bellowed, "You! Who are you calling a giant baby?"
"I'm obviously talking about you." Helian Wei Wei looked at him pitifully, mocking, "It's so obvious but you still can't get it, you're really like a giant baby. I'm not talking about your physique, but rather your intelligence."
"You!" Master Liao yelled lividly as he pointed his finger at her.
Elder Helian was afraid that he would say something inappropriate, thus he hastily interjected, "Lord Wei said so much it made me even more suspicious. If you have no relationship with that village girl, why are you so agitated?"
"Elder Helian, I'm not agitated. This is the second time you have slandered me today, so I think it's time for me to prove my innocence." As Helian Wei Wei was speaking, she removed the mask that was covering half of her face.
A familiar face instantly appeared in front of Elder Helian's eyes!
How could it be her!
Elder Helian fumbled a step backward, falling into the wooden chair in dismay.
He looked as though he had just seen a ghost.
His expression was a dozen times paler and uglier than the time he met Baili Jia Jue!
It was at that very moment when he realized that he had made a fatal mistake.
The other imperial officials had never set foot in the Capital before, thus they did not understand why Elder Helian would behave like that suddenly.
However, each of them was wisely shrewd and had mastered the art of reading facial expressions.
Judging from Elder Helian's countenance, something unexpected has definitely happened!
Otherwise, he won't be like this!
Without giving the imperial officials the time to figure it out, Helian Wei Wei smiled faintly and said, "Long time no see, Elder Yun. You did not attend the last general meeting, but I finally get to meet you here at the provincial capital. However, I would like to ask Elder Yun, what relationship do you think I have with that girl? Hmm?"
Her question completely fl.u.s.tered Elder Helian, his entire face was burning hot from embarrassment, all he wanted to do was to find a hole and hide in it!
Chapter 529 - A Crushing Victory, His Highness Was So Cool!
"This, this is… this is a big misunderstanding," Elder Helian stuttered, never in his wildest dreams did Elder Helian think that it was her. He was not the only one, every steward in the Capital thought that she was in the palace now, being at her wit's end trying to concoct a plan to create a name for herself.
Nobody would have guessed that she would dress up as a man and become a mere county magistrate in rural Fuping County.
No wonder the Third Price would act as a private advisor.
It is all because of her!
Elder Helian finally understood the entire situation. However, it was already too late.
On the other hand, Master Liao was still clueless about what had transpired. Tugging at Elder Helian's sleeves, he whispered, "Uncle, why are you so polite toward her, she's just a puny county magistrate…"
"Shut up! I'm going to say it again, shut up!" Elder Helian screamed furiously, having completely lost his temper.
Master Liao was simply thunderstruck, unable to comprehend what he did wrong, as he had never been scolded so fiercely before.
Elder Helian took a deep, long breath. As he made eye contact with Helian Wei Wei, he groveled to her, saying, "Forgive me, I was so blind I can't even recognize Eldest Young Lady."
Eldest Young Lady!
Wouldn't that be the legendary heir of Helian clan, Helian Wei Wei?
Apparently, she used to be an unwanted piece of garbage, without an ounce of martial Qi on her.
However, she suddenly reappeared six months ago and returned to the Helian family. Then, she defeated her father in one attempt, thus becoming the latest patriarch of the Helian clan. She is also married to the Third Prince, gaining the title as the princess consort. Needless to say, she is the one, true winner in life!
The Wei Ze World she founded is famed and renowned throughout the entire War Dragon Empire...
The imperial officials could have never predicted that the person they blocked at the Bayview Seafood Restaurant entrance and laughed at repeatedly was such an important individual!
Once again, the imperial officials felt a freezing chill rising from the bottom of their heart, as their lips turned ashen pale. They were so astonished that they did not know how to react.
Dense as he was, Master Liao still comprehended what 'Eldest Young Lady' meant.
Although he had never been to the Helian's home, he knew about the recent ongoings of the Helian family.
The young lady of the Helian family, Helian Wei Wei, is the current princess consort!
I actually claimed that there was something between the princess consort and a village girl.
What could there be between two ladies?
After Master Liao had mulled it over, he instantly kneeled down on the ground with a loud thud.
Then, he reached out and attempted to pull at the edge of Helian Wei Wei's robe, "Eldest Young Lady, my uncle was right. This is merely a huge misunderstanding. If I knew your identity from the beginning, I won't…"
"You won't hit me and ask me to apologize to you, right?" Helian Wei Wei continued calmly, "You won't blabber again and again about how poor my private advisor is as well, right?"
After hearing Helian Wei Wei's latest remark, Master Liao's countenance blanched ghastly white.
When he recalled his words, he wanted to slap himself in the face.
Baili Jia Jue viciously growled, "It's a pity that I'm not actually poor. I guess Master Liao still doesn't know my identity, your uncle had just found out today as well. Let me tell you so that you can die happily. Servants, drag him away now!"
Master Liao was absolutely shocked, bursting into tears and sniveling horribly. His arrogant expression from before had utterly evaporated, he simply looked extremely p
itiful.
Then, he loudly ululated in exasperation, shrieking, "Uncle, save me! Please save me!"
All the imperial officials understood what His Highness meant when he said 'drag him away'.
The destiny of his demise was ten to one.
Elder Helian wanted to plead for his nephew, but he was afraid that he would be dragged into it as well. His eyes became teary because he could only look on helplessly as Master Liao was mauled away.
Xiao Yu, you shall leave.
As your uncle, I will take revenge for you.
When I return to the palace, I will make sure this Helian Wei Wei die a horrible, grotesque death!
Three people from the Liao family were all decapitated in a mere afternoon.
Magistrate Liao was the last one to be brought in. When he saw Elder Helian's pained expression, he knew it was the end for him.
Even though he was still desperately racking his brain for an escape, in reality, there was simply no room for any negotiation with the Third Prince.
His method was too merciless.
Every level of his cognition was so elaborate and impalpable, one could not help but fear his mind.
Like a viper on a hunt, he carefully seduced his prey into his trap, step by step, before engulfing them with a single strike!
Since they were now dead, this case was definitely deemed to be closed.
This was an acceptable outcome, as the authority would not investigate further about it.
Otherwise, the few people who were sitting there would meet with a similar fate. After all, barely any of them were truly innocent.
The imperial officials exchanged quick glances with each other, snickering quietly to themselves, as they had managed to escape this calamity.
However, they had underestimated the Third Prince.
Since the Third Prince wanted to completely eradicate the entire gang of criminals, he would not merely stop there.
Baili Jia Jue unhesitantly sat on General Liao's seat, elegantly crossing his slender legs. Then, he indifferently said, "I have a list of names here, I think everyone will be very excited after reading it."
