Suing Lord Wei? Suing Lord Wei for what?
The commoners exchanged glances with each other as they were unable to get hold of the situation at the moment.
However, they were worried and concerned inevitably about it.
Obviously, Master Liao, who is wearing silk woven clothes has more power than Yan Dazhao.
Will Lord Wei get into trouble for going against him?
Liu Yin looked anxiously toward Helian Wei Wei.
There was a hint of sarcasm on Helian Wei Wei’s side face.
You want to sue me?
That’s right!
Master Liao squinted his eyes and said,
Not only did you not compensate and apologize to me when you ran into me, but you injured my guards as you pleased and locked them up. You are not worthy of the position as an official with such an abuse of power!
Chen Liang’s face turned black with rage when he heard that.
He knew better than anyone else what had happened at that time!
This little rascal with the surname Liao was apologizing without the slightest hesitation at that time!
Seeing that he’s not around, he dares to bully boss now?
Just you wait!
In contrast, with Chen Liang’s anger, Helian Wei Wei laughed instead.
Oh? Then in Master Liao’s opinion, what should I do to secure my position as an official? Do I have to compensate you for an outfit?
Will you even be able to pay for my clothes?
Master Liao was a lot more arrogant than Magistrate Liao.
I know what you are just by looking at your poor clothing. Open your eyes and look at mine, you won’t be able to afford it even if you take out the salary for your whole life!
Governor Chen almost flipped his table when he heard that, this Master Liao is certainly afraid of nothing as he has someone to back him up.
Her Highness could have easily defeated him with anything from her royal chamber.
Yet he’s still nagging about a piece of cloth over here!
Not sure if I should be amazed by his stpidity, or mock his naivety!
Father and son really think alike.
However, Chen Liang had a more obvious reaction, he clenched his teeth and said,
This Liao is seriously looking for a beating, he dares to show his trickery just because I didn’t beat him up for a day!
Little Seventh Prince straight away snorted and said,
He dares to compare his wealth to that of Third Brother and Third Aunt? Is his brain not fully grown yet?
Master Liao was completely clueless about what people said about him, he spoke louder than anybody else as he was wealthy,
Besides, what about my guards whom you have beaten up, you want to settle this with some silvers? In your dreams!
What do you want then?
Baili Jia Jue tidied his sleeves in a leisurely manner and slowly lifted his gaze…
Little Bald Head lowered his tone and said,
Look, Third Brother is going to bring out the big guns!
Chen Liang blinked his eyes and asked,
What big guns?
How would I know? I’m not my Third Brother.
Little Seventh Prince bit on his meat bun angrily and looked askance at Chen Liang.
You need to step back a little, my Third Aunt has said that I can’t let you go outside.
Chen Liang was left speechless.
Why does the word ‘let’ sounded so weird when Little Seventh Prince said it?
Meanwhile, in the yamen.
Master Liao’s last hour had come and yet he was still completely unaware of his misfortune. He said haughtily with his nose in the air,
Apologize to me in public and compensate me 100 or 200 silvers.
100 or 200 silvers?
Helian Wei Wei looked at him from head to toe before mocking him,
Like father like son indeed, how bold of Master Liao to say that!
Yuan Ming did not remain idle either, he yawned lazily and said,
Woman, he’s clearly trying to cheat you for the silver.
Helian Wei Wei conversed with Yuan Ming via her conscious, her tone was patient,
He will have to be alive to take the silver…
Yuan Ming stopped talking when he heard what she said, he just smiled evilly while floating in the air behind Helian Wei Wei, waiting for a show to put on.
Master Liao obviously could not hear their conversation; he continued to say arrogantly,
I dare say so because I have the power. I didn’t want to do this at first, but Lord Wei, you’re going too far, abusing your power to arrest my men, and questioning my father here. What right do you have to do this?
The imperial officials from the provincial capital finally got their excuses, they glanced at Helian Wei Wei with disagreeing looks and said,
Lord Wei, you are indeed at fault in this matter, you have to apologize.
Apologize?
Helian Wei Wei sneered and said,
My Lords, on what stand are you asking me to apologize, are you simply fearful of Master Liao’s background?
The gazes of the imperial officials fell on Helian Wei Wei’s with disagreement looks upon hearing what she said.
Lord Wei, what you said is not true. We obey the law and act accordingly, please stop saying things that will agitate the people. If you insist on doing so, we will have no choice but to act accordingly to the laws and dismiss you from your position temporarily.
Dismiss him from his position? Do you have the right to do that?
A query could be heard from the crowd.
The imperial officials initially wanted to lift their heads and see who was the fool who dared criticize their way of handling the case.
But in the end…
As soon as they turned around, they were so shocked that they stuttered,
Lord, Lord Chen!
They never thought that the governor, who was supposed to be inspecting the living conditions of the people in the provincial capital, would appear in a small county like Fuping.
And he’s actually standing among the crowd listening to the trial!
Judging from his clothing, he seems to have the intention of making an inspection trip incognito.
Governor Chen did not say a word, he glanced coldly at those imperial officials.
The imperial officials instantly felt short of something, they quickly stood up and asked,
Why, why have you come?
Governor Chen thought to himself, you would have dismissed the Princess Consort of her position if I don’t show up!
In that case, His Highness will be extremely furious. Not only these people, even someone as innocent as me will be caught up in the consequences as well!
Governor Chen subconsciously took a glance at the direction of Baili Jia Jue when he thought about this.
Baili Jia Jue was still tall and slender as always, his handsome side face shone like a saber, so cold and superior that it could sting the eyes.
Both of them had seen each other numerous times in the imperial palace, technically Governor Chen could be partly considered as someone on Baili Jia Jue’s side. After all, he was the official who had been serving the Retired Emperor and understood his thoughts well, so naturally, he would side with Baili Jia Jue when dealing with issues.
The imperial officials were still clueless right now, why would Governor Chen look at the little private advisor who is standing beside the county magistrate when he first came in?
Magistrate Liao even brought out the passion he had when he came to the Capital, he walked forward and tried to shake Governor Chen’s hand.
Lord Chen, you’ve finally come to our Fuping…
The officials came to a realization, so that’s what it is, the Governor is actually invited by Magistrate Liao?
He’s indeed connected with the people in the Capital, even the governor of three provinces will show due respect for him.
But the officials still did not understand, why would Lord Chen stand up for the county magistrate of Fuping County?
Did they misinterpret what Lord Chen said just now? Perhaps he was actually talking about something else?
Among all people, only Master Liao felt a slight presentiment of disaster.
When his father called out the appellation of Lord Chen, he suddenly remembered the exact reason why he came to Fuping County…
