Confession being written by the convict?
Helian Wei Wei raised her thin eyebrows.
A person then handed over a piece of rolled paper as a submission to the court.
Every imperial official had gone through it before it reached Elder Helian. He put on a stern face and gazed at Helian Wei Wei before shaking his head as if he was telling her she was done for.
Liao Qingtian smoothed out his sleeves and spoke loudly, “The written evidence that you all have seen just now is written by the private advisor of Lord Wei, stating clearly about everything Lord Wei has done as an imperial official. For example, he has used the fund as an excuse for defying a drought but it wasn’t implemented over a proper usage.”
“That’s a million dollars! How dare Lord Wei do so!”
The imperial officials whispered to each other while pointing at Helian Wei Wei.
Heize clenched his fists. If Helian Wei Wei was not pressing on his hands, he would have kicked that nasty Liao off and told everyone about her real identity!
Would she, as one of the two bosses from Wei Ze World care about one million dollars?
Fu*k off your corruption!
By the way, who is the private advisor?
How come he was not informed that Wei Wei has a private advisor?
Didn’t she come out with the malevolent Third Prince?
Wait!
Heize immediately glanced at Helian Wei Wei from the side…
Could the private advisor who had made a confession and written down the evidence to plead guilty, be the Third Prince?!
Okay!
The Liao’s family was going to be uprooted soon, let alone all of the powers behind the provincial capital!
He had to say that this nasty Liao had an over-strong urge to play around and had directly risked his own life!
Heize’s anger abated when he thought of this and he raised his thin lips leisurely. His narrowed and long eyes brightened up, he was ready to enjoy the show.
The Retired Emperor frowned his eyebrows and was about to speak.
However, he heard Helian Wei Wei spoke evenly, “General Liao, I know my own private advisor well, he would definitely not going to plead guilty and not even signing his name on your piece of paper.”
“So Lord Wei is refusing to plead guilty?” Liao Qingtian spoke in a haughty tone. “Lord Wei, do you dare to deny that you didn’t simply arrest someone due to a guilty conscience when you were in Fuping County? Did my niece provoke you? You even put him behind the bars!”
Liao Qingtian’s words were actually for Elder Helian’s knowledge as Elder Helian had always been loving his niece. Upon hearing this, Elder Helian squinted his eyes filled with astuteness. “It seems like your behavior deserves further deliberation, Lord Wei.”
Hearing this statement, Little Seven’s eyes were almost inflamed. He put on a domineering facial expression but he was still standing right there sedately.
He believed that his Third Aunt would not allow others to treat her as a doormat!
But why didn’t the Third Brother appear?
The Retired Emperor had the same thought because, in the past, his cold-blooded third grandson would not allow Wei Wei to be treated like so.
Where is he?
Liao Qingtian had no idea what the Retired Emperor had in his mind. However, when he saw his contemplative look, he perceived that his words actually worked, hence, he further added, “Making use of official power over others, taking bribes and disobeying the laws by simply framing people and now trying to wipe out the ten-year-old restaurant in the provincial capital. Lord Wei, have you ever thought of the consequences of all these?”
“General Liao,” Helian Wei Wei spoke slowly. “Before pointing your fingers at me, I suggest you refer to the court dossier as Master Liao was accused of perjury in the court. Is it wrong to arrest someone like this? Additionally, Elder Yun, you said my behavior requires a further deliberation right? Then how would you evaluate your niece, Master Liao’s action that has violated the constitutions of the court?”
Elder Helian was not expecting his reaction would be so fast, with insinuations hidden among his words.
But he had been through all this so he was still steady even after listening to Helian Wei Wei. Elder Helian’s thinking was clearer as compared to General Liao’s. “General Liao has mentioned this just now, all of the evidence that day were provided by your private advisor. But he has signed and pleaded guilty which means Liao Tian had spoken the truth. Lord Wei, the private advisor beside you is indeed a formidable character as he could get all these done seamlessly. However, as the saying goes, justice has long arms. He went wrong eventually and now, he has confessed his guilt. There’s no use for you to speak much right now.”
“Based on Elder Helian’s words, are you referring to my private advisor as a convict?” Helian Wei Wei raised her lips and looked straight at Elder Helian.
Elder Helian spoke sanctimoniously, “You should know best whether or not he is a convict. I’m well aware of your tricks. Both of you are cooperating to make money. What kind of place do you think the provincial capital is? Even in the imperial city, you guys still dare to act so boldly regardless of the law and natural morality, are you guys claiming for death?”
Once he finished his sentences, the other imperial officials responded in the affirmative.
“The existence of this kind of officials is the reason why the citizens would misunderstand us badly!”
“That private advisor is dodgy too!”
“Luckily General Liao has a deep sense of justice and he insists to protect the Bayview Seafood Restaurant in our provincial capital, or else it might be destroyed by Wei!”
The imperial officials would not miss any chance to express their loyalties.
Nevertheless, there were a few among them who expressed nothing. As the proverb said, the words of the lowly carry little weight, they could not help Helian Wei Wei out as well.
To be honest, they felt sorry for Helian Wei Wei. Some of them even tried to request Governor Chen to come over.
But on second thought, the problem had reached this point.
Even Elder Helian had come over personally and the necessary evidence was submitted, although those insiders knew that the written evidence was certainly fake.
But what else could they do?
How are they going to explain to the Retired Emperor?
Once they involved themselves in, those who would undergo a disaster would surely be them. On the other hand, nothing would happen to Elder Helian.
That was why Helian Wei Wei would turn into someone who was cast aside by everyone!
At this moment, Old Lady Wang, who was hiding among the crowds walked out and spoke in an aged yet powerful voice, “Who said Lord Wei has done wrong? I’ve been staying in the provincial capital for five years! This is my first time meeting an imperial official who is daring enough to speak up for me! Liao Qingtian, you brute! How dare you say that Bayview Restaurant is the pride of the provincial capital! Why don’t you say that you’re not selling what you’re supposed to be? It’s not only exorbitant but you’re also serving dead and stale seafood to the customers. My grandson died in the provincial capital after eating the shrimps from your restaurant! You didn’t give us a reasonable explanation regarding that and yet you raped my daughter-in-law and harmed my son because of that. Now I’m the only one left in my house but you still poisoned me to the blind, just to ensure that I couldn’t leave the provincial capital to report you! Liao Qingtian, God is watching everything you do. Are you thinking that you will be safe after covering everything? Now, I want you to pay for the lives of my whole family with your life!”
