“Dad, you must make him pay for it!” Master Liao wanted to humiliate his enemy so much that he forgot to inform Magistrate Liao about the fact that Helian Wei Wei and Chen Liang knew each other.
The clueless Magistrate Liao did not know that his son had caused a huge ruckus behind his back as he was thinking of ways to get rid of his compet.i.tors.
On the other hand, as soon as Private Advisor Zhang heard that Master Liao was coming, he went straight to him along with some money to show his loyalty.
Magistrate Liao could not bear to see his fawning face so he only asked, “What has the one named Wei been doing this entire day? I heard that the villagers are all gossiping about him.”
“The one named Wei did something stupid again.” Private Advisor Zhang spoke enthusiastically with a face of disdain, “It would be absurd, if not to say that this person has limited experience. Before even checking the type of terrain that the Fuping county has, he has already decided to have a buried water diversion system. What a dream by an id*ot!”
Magistrate Liao laughed upon hearing that. “Buried water diversion system? Everyone knows that the terrain of this river is lower than that of the field. The water will not possibly flow to higher grounds. Lord Wei better not be crazy because of too much pressure from us.”
“To me, the one named Wei is not even so kind-hearted. He is most probably thinking of having some results until he went crazy. That’s how he came up with this.” Private Advisor Zhang teased, “This is even better. Wait until the officials from the provincial capital are here tomorrow, let’s see how the one named Wei can save himself!”
Magistrate Liao did not speak further. He drank a mouthful of tea with his head low, but the smile on his face was extremely vicious.
In order to kick some off the plate in officialdom, this was the best way.
Whatever the commoners are saying, only other people would believe them…
Don’t blame him for being too mean, just blame that the one named Wei was too arrogant and did not listen to anybody. He deserved to end up worse than being dead!
Yamen of the county magistrate – the night drew in.
Baili Jia Jue’s lips lifted as he was reading the letter sent by the shadow guards.”This movement is not enough. Bring down the one from the Capital too.”
“Yes,” replied the shadow guards respectfully with their eyes down, though in their hearts they could not help but feel stunned by the means of their master.
No one could ever imagine that everything in the Capital was in the palms of His Highness even when he was far away in Fuping. He had not miscalculated anything so far.
The situation in Fuping was going on in an invisible trend covering the entire county, while the individuals involved were not even aware of the danger yet to come.
The shadow guards turned to look at their masters and saw that Baili Jia Jue was holding a black piece between his slender and transparent fingers. With a snap, the piece landed on the jade chessboard!
This scene was probably what people said, with the towns behind his back, one was able to control the entire situation…
Helian Wei Wei was drying her hair, but just as Baili Jia Jue entered the room after finis.h.i.+ng with his work, she was already sound asleep. Her eyes were closed shut and the lashes were so long.
Baili Jia Jue just stayed and watched her sleep. After a while, he bent down to carry her in his arms and placed her on the bed.
As he let go of his hands, Helian Wei Wei stirred.
Baili Jia Jue planted a kiss on the corner of her eye and spoke with a magnetic voice, “It’s alright, go back to sleep.”
Helian Wei Wei was indeed feeling sleepy, so after hearing his words, she shut her eyes and dozed off again.
Under the moonlight, Baili Jia Jue half-embraced her in his arms. With his slender body and ink-black hair lying around them, there was an unspeakable gentleness in him.
