Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
As Old Lady w.a.n.g was speaking, she suddenly extended her hands and lunged at Liao Qingtian!
Liao Qingtian panicked when he saw Old Lady w.a.n.g approached him. He reprimanded the yamen runners beside him promptly, “Is this the way you do your duty? By letting a lunatic in? What are you waiting for? Go and chase her out! Right now!”
“Yes, sir!” The yamen runners were going to get Old Lady w.a.n.g soon and with their strength, they would surely be able to drag her away easily.
Helian Wei Wei did not say a word, but instead, she raised her leg directly and kicked them off!
“Let me see who dares to move!”
Perhaps her aura was too strong, the others took a step backward intimidatingly except for the yamen runner who was sprawling on the ground.
Liao Qingtian shouted, “Lord Wei, are you aware of what you are doing right now? How dare you fight in court?”
“The one who fought first was you, General Liao.” Helian Wei Wei’s gaze was as cold as ice.
Liao Qingtian noticed that Helian Wei Wei insisted on protecting Old Lady w.a.n.g so he turned his eyes away and spoke craftily, “Lord Wei, how can you carry out such immoral conduct? You even paid for a witness to incriminate me!”
“Liao Qingtian, don’t bullsh*t! Don’t you dare to say you don’t know me!” Old Lady w.a.n.g was trembling in anger!
Liao Qingtian looked at her mockingly. “I have no idea of whether you are a true lunatic or a fake one, but why would me, a general know you?”
“Are you saying that you don’t know me? The a.s.sa.s.sins who were trying to kill me in my house today were all sent by you! Without a.s.sistance from Lord Wei, I would be dead by now! In spite of everything, you still dare to say that you don’t know me!” Old Lady w.a.n.g thought that her words could definitely affect Liao Qingtian or at least make him feel diffident.
However, Liao Qingtian did not bother to confess his guilt even when he was facing such a denouncement. “Someone wanted to harm you and you just concluded that I am the one. Hey, grandmother, please have a conscience as a human! You will be punished for making false statements in court.”
“You…you!” Old Lady w.a.n.g was gasping for air heavily. She did not expect that there would be such a wretch in this world!
Helian Wei Wei put her hand on Old Lady w.a.n.g’s back and patted her gently before confronting Liao Qingtian’s mock unhurriedly, “General Liao, you’ve pa.s.sed the buck over thoroughly in denial.”
“What do you mean by pa.s.sing the buck?” Liao Qingtian did not care about Old Lady w.a.n.g, instead, he fixed his gaze at Helian Wei Wei. “Lord Wei, I’m impressed by your scheme. However, facts are irreversible so before you intend to slander me, please count how many people will choose to believe you! The one who is supposed to plead guilty is you! What else can you say with this irrefutable confession as evidence?”
“General Liao has been mentioning that confession since just now, may I know where is the person who wrote it? Why don’t you ask my private advisor to come over and let us confront him? What’s the true fact?” Upon saying this, Helian Wei Wei slowly widened up her mouth.
That smile of hers carried a hint of hidden meaning.
Yuan Ming and Whitney who were in the Fantasy s.p.a.ce exchanged glances with each other. This woman is going to make a big deal out of it!
Liao Qingtian remained silent.
Elder Helian, who was Liao Qingtian’s tactician had antic.i.p.ated earlier that Wei would confront his private advisor so he had prepared himself well from the beginning.
Someone possessed the skills of creating Venomous Parasite in the military force. Once the Venomous Parasite was placed on a person’s body, then this person’s state of mind would be seized. In this case, one would only obey his instructions.
Now, that private advisor had been poisoned seriously!
When he was summoned to court, this person with the surname of Wei would die miserably!
This was his ultimate goal.
Regardless of how smart the Wei guy was, he would not have thought that Elder Helian would be employing the technique which was similar to the old saying … to give somebody a taste of his own medicine.
Initially, the best method was to murder the person to be on the safe side.
However, this would arouse the suspicion of the Retired Emperor.
That was the reason why he thought of this idea.
Now that this Wei guy had mentioned it, he would just go for it!
“It seems like Lord Wei would not give up until Private Advisor Long is summoned to the court! General Liao, you don’t have to waste your effort on him anymore. Some individuals will not be obedient until they have hit the wall hard.” Elder Helian waved his hand and then he made eye contact with Liao Qingtian to signal him to keep his composure. “Can someone please drag private advisor with the surname of Long to the court? Let Lord Wei confront with him and go through the written confession in person!”
“Yes, sir!” the military services accepted the order and retreated.
At this juncture, Elder Helian did not forget to ask the Retired Emperor sitting next to him, “Imperial Grandfather, do you think it is appropriate to so do?
“Let’s wait till the private advisor is here.” The Retired Emperor gave an ambiguous answer. He was different from Heize and Little Seven as he was not aware of who this private advisor was. He thought that his cold-blooded grandson was spending his time somewhere else. Hence, he did not care much about the existence of this private advisor.
Liao Qingtian wanted to stand out in front of the Retired Emperor, so he started to criticize Baili Jia Jue’s shortcomings, “This private advisor has an arrogant att.i.tude, and he is a complicated person who does not like to walk the right path. All he wanted was to earn a handsome amount of money. His actions are a shame to the reputation of other scholars.”
Your actions are a shame to the reputation of other scholars, your entire family is a shame to the reputation of other scholars!
Little Seven who was trying hard to suppress his raging emotions, took a bite of his meat bun.
Initially, he wondered where his Third Brother had gone to.
Now he knew that he was actually being put behind the bars by this group of people!
He swore that his Imperial Grandfather would surely make these people kneel on the ground, pleading for guilt when his Third Brother appeared later.
Upon hearing this, Heize showed an expression as though he was mulling over something. He then lowered his voice to say to Helian Wei Wei by her ear, “That’s why you didn’t allow me to speak out just now. I see that you have been waiting to unleash your ultimate move. Have both of you been planning to get rid of this group of people?”
“As the saying goes, someone who is unjust is doomed to destruction. We didn’t expect Liao Qingtian to have the guts to this extent. He even dared to arrest my private advisor and even created false evidence. At this point in time, I can only comment that if one is not faking to die, he or she will not die.” Of course, this required cooperation from His Highness. Helian Wei Wei caressed her chin, deliberating through this situation, and realized that the outcome of this incident was mainly due to the joined effort of His Highness.
Therefore, if one were to provoke someone, His Highness must not be on the list.
Indeed, tsk tsk tsk, someone was considered to be unlucky to mess around with a person with malevolent tricks.
However, Liao Qingtian and Elder Helian who were not aware of the actual situation were still dwelling over their so-called perfect plan. They thought that this would cause huge trouble to Helian Wei Wei.
Both of them fixed gazes on each other, trying to hide away all their vicious plans on the corner of their eyes.
The tip of Liao Qingtian’s mouth revealed a complacent smile as though he was waiting to see Wei dig his own grave, having no chance to turn over a new leaf.
