A ray of light flashed through Liao Qingtian’s eyes when he heard the words ‘kill the witnesses’. Although there were quite a number of people who knew the inside story of Bayview Seafood Restaurant, none had the evidence.
Wei Wei was the only one holding on to this matter.
However, the one with the surname of Wei could not be killed.
If they killed him at this point in time, what they intended to hide would be revealed.
Especially when he was still holding an official position.
Even though he was just a small local magistrate, the Retired Emperor would definitely pay him a visit since he had arrived at the provincial capital.
Therefore, he could only set his hands on those who used to have conflicts with Bayview Restaurant.
Liao Qingtian lowered his voice, “Elder, you may rest a.s.sured, I know what to do.”
Elder Helian nodded as he added, “I heard that the man named Wei has a private advisor devising strategies for him?”
“We caught him earlier, there is no way any news would be leaked.” Liao Qingtian lowered his voice again, “If he remained stubborn prior to the court session, I will instruct someone to kill him tonight!”
Elder Helian withdrew his sight. “You can handle such trivial matters by yourself. He is merely a private advisor, settle it as you like. Now that the Retired Emperor has arrived in the provincial capital, it will be inconvenient for me to intervene in certain matters. Go and deal with those who have resentment toward Bayview Restaurant over the years, especially those involving deaths. Don’t worry, I will stand on your side during the court session. The Retired Emperor has a good impression toward Bayview Restaurant all along, he will not believe in everything being said by a mere magistrate. Things will be fine as long as nothing goes wrong with Bayview Seafood Restaurant.”
“Alright.” Liao Qingtian lowered his eyes, looking at Elder Helian respectfully as he saw Elder Helian walking into the inn.
After a while, he turned over and instructed his trusted aide, Lord Zhang, “How did you handle the Zhao Family who stirred up a lot of trouble a while ago?”
Lord Zhang went blank for a moment before replying, “It’s settled, the old lady refused to take the money, so I ordered a few people to destroy their house, they have been quiet ever since.”
“Go and handle it again.” Liao Qingtian squinted his eyes and said, “Since we have already reached this step, let’s tie up all the loose ends. What’s the use of keeping an old lady alive?”
Sensing the cruelty in his tone, Lord Zhang could not help but lower his voice, “Your humble servant will go now.”
“Make yourself invisible.” Liao Qingtian had no idea why his heart had not been at ease since the appearance of the Retired Emperor.
Lord Zhang lowered his eyes, “General Liao, don’t worry about it. Killing people is nothing for our troops.”
“You may leave.” Liao Qingtian leaned on the carriage, slowly closing his eyes while speaking, “I need to take some rest as well.”
If things were not as tense, he would never allow Lord Zhang to do this during the day.
After all, it was just an old lady who lived in the broken, dark alley.
As long as the alley was blocked, people would not know how the old lady died…
Noon – in the sun.
The mercenary dressed in black knelt in front of Helian Wei Wei. “Young master, Liao Qingtian has employed the a.s.sa.s.sination troop from the city watch guards, do we need to follow them?”
“Of course.” Helian Wei Wei was dressed in white, her lips curled while she smiled, “How about Master Hei? Is he here?”
The mercenary nodded his head, “Second Master Hei was with us the whole day, he even asked me the reason why you called for him.”
“There is some business to do.” Helian Wei Wei played with the cup in her hand. “Tell Master Hei to help me in a fight, I will give him a restaurant as a gift in return.”
