Chapter 531: The Third Prince Was Adept At Disrespecting Others!
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Impossible!
Elder Helian instantly trembled!
He discovered that Baili Jia Jue was looking down mockingly at him with a grin on his face. The arrogant expression on his regal face seemed as though he was staring at a dying prey.
That uncanny feeling made Elder Helian extremely uneasy!
Baili Jia Jue spoke in his usual euphonic, deep voice, “Elder Yun really thought the prison in the yamen can lock me in?”
Helian Wei Wei turned her head around and glanced at the man next to her when she heard him, it was pretty obvious to her that a mere prison could not imprison him.
Furthermore, the Third Prince had always been very enthralled by chains and locks, he even built a cage over their bed in the royal chamber.
Even if he was uninterested, he could have easily pulverized the metal gate in front of him without even breaking a sweat, much less a simple lock.
Thus, it was highly possible that the Third Prince had deftly unlocked the chains on himself, and fearlessly used his impeccable lightness skill to step out of the prison for a walk today.
Then, he would return to his cell and lock himself up...
Hmm, it definitely sounds like something he’ll do.
The more Helian Wei Wei thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Hence, she glanced at Baili Jia Jue again.
Elder Helian was no fool either. In fact, he knew very clearly how powerful the Third Prince was, and how terrifying his martial Qi was.
Even the legendary Eighteen Bronzemen of the Shaolin Temple could not confine this man who had already conquered the entire empire, not to mention a simple prison cell...
Elder Helian felt a chill run down his back thinking about it.
Since he can escape easily, why did he wait until the yamen was open?
Unless!
Unless he was waiting for precisely this moment!
The obvious answer caused his pupils to shrink.
Baili Jia Jue rubbed the silver ring on his index finger with an ambiguous smile, saying, “I know every detail clearly, whether it is the time that you arrived at the provincial capital or the time that you met Liao Qingtian. After all, he would always make a trip to somewhere else after interrogating me.”
So... you went to jail willingly, not only to kill Liao Qingtian but also to make it easier to follow him?
That’s too immoral!
Helian Wei Wei and Heize exchanged glances with each other.
Only His Highness can be this shameless.
How sad is it for Liao Qingtian? Even when he died, he still does not know he was followed by the Third Prince!
Dear, that’s why you don’t play tricks against His Highness, you’ll surely be left broken and shattered!
“Third Brother, you’re awesome!” Little Seven exclaimed passionately. He always looked up to his Third Brother with great respect. Then, he added, “This is how you deal with this kind of people!”
Eunuch Sun started to ponder if he should raise the Seventh Prince and the Third Prince separately as the Seventh Prince was still young. It was truly unsettling that he already had a twisted mind at such a young age. However, both of them were constant headaches for him anyway.
“You personally ordered Liao Qingtian to eliminate everyone who had messed with Bayview Seafood Restaurant. Because of that, it resulted in the massacre in the long alley.” Baili Jia Jue spoke slowly, “You severely underestimated our Lord Wei Wei, did you think you can mess around on her turf?”
He actually praised me?
Helian Wei Wei glanced at Baili Jia Jue. As a mercenary tycoon, she would surely not allow people to mess with her. This was her standard!
Looking at her proud expression, Baili Jia Jue suppressed his smirk and hugged her.
Blood had completely drained from Elder Helian’s face as he stuttered, “This... this is just your words, it cannot be used as proof...”
“Looks like you’re asking me to give you the killing blow.” Baili Jia Jue stared at Shadow who was standing behind him and said, “This is the Venomous Parasite that you gave to Liao Qingtian when you reached the provincial capital.”
A transparent glass bottle lay on Shadow’s hands, and a crimson red insect could be found resting silently in it. Although it was tiny, the large pincers on its head gave it an appalling appearance.
Baili Jia Jue smirked as he said, “I’ll return it to you now.”
As he said it, he pulled open the bottle cap and let the insect drop onto Elder Helian’s arm.
Elder Helian could not react in time as it burrowed into his skin in a blink of an eye!
“No!” Elder Helian anxiously pulled one of his servants toward him, screaming in terror, “Quickly find Liao Qingtian’s body, he has the antidote on him! Hurry!”
However, it was already too late. The Venomous Parasite moved along the bloodstream, and it would accelerate at a surprising speed once it had a taste of blood.
The gurgling sound made every magistrate’s skin crawl.
In mere seconds, Elder Helian’s eyes had lost its shine, merely staring blankly in front of him. It seemed that he had utterly lost his sense of self.
Baili Jia Jue asked leisurely, “Who is the real owner of Bayview Seafood Restaurant?”
“Me,” Elder Helian replied, raising his head slowly.
Boom!
The entire yamen burst into a frenzied uproar.
All the imperial officials collapsed to the ground after hearing that word.
Everything was crystal clear now.
They were all done for.
The Retired Emperor stood up and glanced at Baili Jia Jue, before announcing, “Heed my order! Helian Yun had killed civilians, cooperated with criminals, and harmed the crown prince, all for his selfish desires. Thus, he shall be punished for his crimes! From today onward, any imperial official who is related to Bayview Seafood Restaurant will be investigated. I don’t care if they are from the provincial capital or the Capital, I want them ousted!”
“As you command!”
The resounding voice echoed through the entire yamen.
Eunuch Sun looked at the imperial officials on the floor and asked, “What about them?”
“Let the Third Prince decide their fate.” The Retired Emperor was exhausted, not physically, but mentally.
He always knew that many problems were plaguing his empire after his retirement.
However, the fact that disappointed him the most was that a tiny Bayview Seafood Restaurant managed to embroil so many people into it.
If that was so, there would surely be more things that he had no idea about.
The four influential families could no longer be left untouched.
The dynasty would be ruined if they continued to stay...
Eunuch Sun noticed that the Retired Emperor was notably displeased, hence he simply replied, “Understood.”
Then, he ambled toward Baili Jia Jue and whispered a few words to him quietly.
After listening to him, Baili Jia Jue nonchalantly glanced around, snarking, “What use do we have of the cowards who wouldn’t even step forward to testify?”
The meaning of those words rang loud and clear for everyone so much so that the imperial officials deeply regretted their decisions and desperately wished they could go back in time.
It seemed that they were actually those who were foolish.
If they had stood up and said something like Imperial Official Zhang when it was needed, they would at least be given a chance to live.
Now... only death awaited them!
One by one, they removed their feathered hats, preparing to meet their demise at the guillotine. The tyranny of the Liao family over the provincial capital had finally ended.
Apparently, on the day that all these corrupt imperial officials were beheaded, every civilian celebrated with joy and burned their fireworks happily.
A huge line of merchants who wished to thank Helian Wei Wei had formed, stretching from the yamen’s entrance until the edge of the building...
