Chapter 525: Domineering His Highness
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Although Elder Helian was sitting leisurely, he actually had the thought of killing Wei honestly ever since he had put his niece behind bars and cut off such a great amount of funds in Fuping County.
Originally, he planned to confront him only when he reached the Capital.
That would be easier.
Unexpectedly, this kind of person who originated from a rural area was much fearless than he thought!
Since it was so, he would get rid of him thoroughly in the provincial capital, not forgetting Private Advisor Long beside him!
Elder Helian smirked and reached out for the cup before he took a sip of the hot tea…
Everyone who was waiting for the results started to be impatient.
Just then, a figure approached them from afar.
Based on the visual inspection from the yamen, it seemed that he had a pair of lanky and forceful legs. The perfection outlined by the white hemp clothes and his night-liked dark-colored hair scattered on his back smoothly, showing unearthly delights.
At that moment, the citizens thought that they had come across a deity who had descended to the world from the vast universe.
The crowd then moved aside slowly, giving out a path.
The man was chained. He walked to the doorway carelessly with his black hair and white robe drifting in the air.
There was brightness hidden within his narrowed, long phoenix-liked eyes, looking harmless but could take the overall momentum in control. The saggy corners of his eyes were just right to neutralize his chill, portraying the image of a person of high honorable position who had been sinking in the world of lordliness for all year round.
Th, this, this is!
Along with the clanging sounds from the cup in Elder Helian’s hand, he widened his eyes and stood up instantly!
The other imperial officials who knew nothing about the situation glanced at Elder Helian from the side and exchanged looks with each other in doubt.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know. Perhaps Elder has never seen any private advisor with such an appearance before. I was stunned when I met Long in the first place.”
Liao Qingtian ignored Elder Helian’s reaction, he came up and asked, “Long San, Lord Wei refused to acknowledge your confession so do you have anything to say about it?”
The reason why Liao Qingtian acted without the slightest scruple was due to the presence of the human Venomous Parasite.
Based on the answer being promised, Long San would demonstrate the crimes as stated in the written confession and Wei would then be convicted completely!
However, before the opponent managed to answer his question after he had just finished his sentences, Elder Helian howled in a rather low and strange voice, “General Liao!”
“Elder?” Liao Qingtian did not know what he meant.
Elder Helian spoke hurriedly, “This is…”
But before he could finish his sentence, Baili Jia Jue interrupted him in a calm tone, “I’ve never written any confession.”
Once Liao Qingtian heard this, he thought that the stimulation from the human Venomous Parasite was not working well so he spoke in anger, “Long San, why do you still refuse to admit your fault? Don’t force me to force punishments on you!”
“What punishments are you planning to force on me? Are you planning to curse me?” Baili Jia Jue raised the corner of his lips and asked recklessly, “Do you think such a tiny thing would be effective on me?”
The Retired Emperor who was sitting aside frowned, this Liao was indeed ridiculous. He had kidnapped his grandson and now he intended to curse his third grandson?
Great, this is excellent!
He now knew how the overlord of the land looked like!
Thinking about this, the Retired Emperor sneered, with plain coldness showing within his eyes.
Eunuch Sun knew that his master would definitely protect his grandchild. He was also so shocked to see His Highness being chained!
On the other hand, Elder Helian broke out in cold sweat as Baili Jia Jue stepped in. After listening to Liao Qingtian’s words, he really wished that he could escape by digging a hole for himself immediately!
He expected to see a bearded private advisor who was born in a poverty-stricken family who looked messy despite sloven in the first place.
He was dumbfounded to find out that the private advisor was the Third Prince!
How could this happen?
Since when did the Third Prince turn into a private advisor?
He should have thought of that earlier, Long San, Long San, indicating the third generation in the Long family!
His name was obviously hinting his ident.i.ty, he could only blame himself for not getting that earlier.
Now… Elder Helian’s left leg had turned to jelly and he leaned back against his chair, as though he had aged all of a sudden.
What could I do?
What should I do?
His entire clan would be implicated with the crime of putting the Emperor’s child behind bars!
They had even fabricated a piece of written evidence that accused him as a thief who had embezzled funds a.s.signed from the court…
Upon thinking about this, the cold sweat flowed down Elder Helian’s face. His face had no longer showing any domineering like earlier.
The only thought in his mind right now was, I’m done!
I’m so done!
Liao Qingtian who knew nothing up until now thought that the Elder Helian had such a huge reaction because Elder Helian had also realized that the human Venomous Parasite had lost its effectiveness.
After all, he did fall into disarray too just now. But he managed to calm himself down soon. So what if he no longer had the human Venomous Parasite? As long as he was vicious enough, he could make this Private Advisor Long voice out the answer he desired!
“It seems as though Private Advisor Long has forgotten about everything after a snap,” Liao Qingtian laughed grimly.
Baili Jia Jue spoke slowly, “How could I recall something that didn’t even happen?”
“Something that didn’t take place? I don’t mind a.s.sisting you to recall since you’ve denied!” as Liao Qingtian spoke, he waved his sleeves before continuing, “Anyone, beat him 100 times and stop only when he recalled the evidence that he wrote yesterday!”
Liao Qingtian was used to his conquering att.i.tude in the provincial capital so it was tough for him to converge it at once. Moreover, he was adhering to the court protocols so there would not be flaws for others to point out.
But to his surprise, the Retired Emperor who did not speak much from the beginning started talking in a calm but penetrable voice, “General Liao, what crime did my grandson commit for you to give him 100 beats?”
What, what does this mean?
Liao Qingtian turned his head around shockingly. There was a moment that he thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Grand… son?!
The imperial officials were stunned too, they looked blank while staring at Baili Jia Jue’s handsome face.
Grandson meaning the Private Advisor Long who is standing in front of them is the current prince?!
After thinking for a while, there was only one person who was also one of the Emperor’s children who could stay beside the Retired Emperor and was favored by the Retired Emperor other than the Seventh Prince.
That person is the Third Prince?!
Boom!
Liao Qingtian tripped over and fell on the ground with a terrific thud!
What has he done?
He had put His Highness where n.o.body would dare to provoke in War Dragon Empire behind bars! Moreover, he had menaced His Highness for at least three times!
He is so done!
This time, even the King of h.e.l.l could not save him!
