The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 529
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!
She is also the crème de la crème, the genius among geniuses, at making martial arts.
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 pitiful.
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.
His fists were clenched tightly, and as he recalled the plan mentioned by the three other elders in the Capital, a fleeting murderous intent flashed across his pupils.
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!
Every imperial official was finally able to let out a sigh of relief as the yamen had fallen into a silent repose after the death of the three members of the Liao family.
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.”
Someone wanted to use the opportunity to flatter the Third Prince, and replied with a beaming smile on his face, “The things that Your Highness bestow upon us are definitely something exceptional.”
“It’s indeed an exceptional gift,” Baili Jia Jue uttered, smiling evilly.
However, when the list was placed in front of them, the imperial officials from the provincial capital could no longer laugh.
Their knees grew weak in fear and they instantly dropped down on the ground, begging pathetically without a care for their image, “Your Highness, these are groundless accusations, we are all innocent! Your Highness, this is merely a dishonest trickery by Liao Qingtian!”
“Groundless accusations?” Baili Jia Jue began to laugh. However, it was menacing and frigidly cold like the person emanating it. Then, he snarled, “You all clearly know what you have done outside the Bayview Seafood Restaurant on the day Magistrate Liao was released. Shadow guards, make everyone open their eyes wide so they can look at the amount of silver written on the name list, and ask them where the silver has disappeared to. Those who can answer it, I will spare their lives. Those who can’t, just kill them.”
Baili Jia Jue said all of that in complete indifference.
When the imperial officials heard the word ‘kill’, they trembled violently in terror.
Someone could no longer contain himself, and shouted, “Your Highness, I will confess, I will confess about everything! It’s my fault for taking the silver, but there’s no other way. It’s extremely difficult for us to be an official in the rural counties. We had to pay the superiors every year, but it’s simply not enough with the meager salary provided by the imperial court. Furthermore, the Liao family is the most powerful in the provincial capital, we have no choice but to side with them. The Bayview Seafood Restaurant may seem to be run by the Liao family, but the bona fide mastermind behind all of these is none other than Elder Helian who is sitting beside you!”
Suddenly, a loud noise sounded!
Clang…
