Chapter 484: His Highness' Tricks

Chapter 486: His Highness’ Tricks

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Liao started to wish that he did not know Old Master Yan at all.

But everyone in Fuping County, including these villagers, knew that Magistrate Liao and Old Master Yan were on the same boat!

“Who else could it be, it must have been Magistrate Liao! If not for Magistrate Liao, how could he be so dauntless? Officials and businessmen colluding with one another, this is why we are always on the losing end!” The villagers were getting more agitated as they spoke. This was especially the case for some of the older farmers. They saw Old Master Yan and Magistrate Liao as their own enemies, with angry faces and hurried steps they surrounded them both and questioned them!

The guards responsible for rescuing Magistrate Liao in this situation were blocked by Da Xiong outside, they had no way of entering.

In a flash, the whole field was in chaos. Grumbles and curses on Magistrate Liao and Old Master Yan could be heard everywhere.

It was now clear who was the one that had roused the public’s wrath.

“This… this is totally out of order!” The officials from the provincial capital saw too that Magistrate Liao had gone out of line, there was no way out for him now!

They started to feel some resentment toward him. They had thought that they could win some offerings in Fuping County as the Liao family was influential. This situation was unexpected.

The commoners were behaving like spectators as they looked on!

All of these people were of certain statuses and positions in the provincial capital. None of them had been ridiculed so badly, this whole situation was a shameful incident for them!

Helian Wei Wei stood aside observing this whole debacle, a smile was already playing out on the corner of her lips. As she glanced over, she saw that his thin lips were curled up evilly, revealing a profound devilish look. He was handsome and charming, yet far too dangerous.

“How did you think of this trick?” Helian Wei Wei lowered her voice as she spoke secretly to her own advisor.

Baili Jia Jue glanced briefly at her. If they were not in public, he would have had her in his arms and ruffled her fluffy head. This little thing that was speaking softly to him attracted him very much.

“Erm…” Baili Jia Jue breathed lightly into her ear, he was teasing her, “When you were asking for mercy in bed, I had to think of something else to distract me. If not, how could I control myself to not want you.”

Helian Wei Wei choked on this man’s words. Her ears turned numb and she coughed lightly. She was thankful that she was discerning right from the start and had fallen for His Highness. If not, she would have been reduced into a bag of bones by this man.

One would know just by looking at these officials. They still had no idea who they had offended and how they ended up here, so foolish…

“Lord Wei, what are you doing in a daze? Take your unruly people away!” Magistrate Liao yelled uncontrollably. His hair was a mess and he was looking utterly disconcerted as he tried to control the situation with his status and imagined power. However, these commoners had gone crazy, they took his words and rebutted back at him, they were uncontrollable!

Helian Wei Wei’s tone was plain as she said, “Magistrate Liao, you should answer the questions these people are asking. I cannot help you here.”

The officials from the provincial capital felt more and more ashamed of the situation. Upon hearing Helian Wei Wei’s comment, they waved their long sleeves and proceeded to leave the scene. Before leaving, they did not forget to yell orders at the guards, “Remember to bring your master back to yamen, this is too much!”

“Yes, sirs!” The guards replied in a hurry.

Looking at the situation, Magistrate Liao knew he needed to break ties. He turned and stared angrily at Old Master Yan. “This is all your fault!”

“Lord… Lord Liao, I do not know how things turned out like that. These commoners are the death of me, how dare they make such a mess!” Old Master Yan was used to having the power to raise storms. His immediate reaction was anger, he was calculating how he would punish every single person who reprimanded him today once he got out of this field. He did not read between the lines of Magistrate Liao’s words, nor did he see that the provincial officials had left!

Magistrate Liao had never regarded Old Master Yan as st*pid, but now he really had no other words to describe him.

He felt immense regret for having entered into a partnership with someone like that! His status was damaged, and he had lost his face in front of all the provincial officials! It would take him a lot of effort to recover from this ordeal!

How could a government official be scolded so blatantly by his people?

This was such a joke!

He could not imagine how he would be laughed at in the Capital!

This incident would be a permanent taint in his life!

He had to find a way to break free!

Having these thoughts, Magistrate Liao shouted suddenly, “Guards, arrest Old Master Yan on my orders!”

“Lord Liao!” Old Master Yan was stumped. Unable to believe his ears, he stared at Magistrate Liao in a daze until the guards came and took him from the back. He grumbled at Magistrate Liao as he reacted, “Lord Liao, you cannot do this to me! We are on the same boat, Lord Liao!”

Magistrate Liao was not in the mood to hear what he had to say. Since he had arrested him, he decided he might as well turn a deaf ear!

“Take him away!” Magistrate Liao’s hair and clothes were in a mess, he did not look like an official at all. He had no ounce of energy left in him. If not for his scheming fierce eyes, the people would have forgotten who he was.

Standing beside him, Baili Jia Jue spoke slowly, “Lord Liao, did you not hear Old Master Yan? He said that you two are on the same boat. Are you sacrificing yourself for justice with this arrest?”

Magistrate Liao was already in a terrible mood, these words made his eyes grow redder. He huffed and puffed as he tried to soothe his chest, but he could not do anything in front of everyone. Instead, he clenched his teeth and said, “Let’s go!”

The guards hurried after him to protect him, pushing away the villagers that were trying to get him, they fled in a fluster out of the field.

The villagers switched moods as they faced Helian Wei Wei now, their gazes were filled with admiration!

“Lord Wei, how did you do it? You are amazing! How did you draw water out of the river to water the fields?”

Helian Wei Wei laughed lightly, “I merely installed a few contraptions.”

“What kind of contraptions? They have been so effective!”

Helian Wei Wei hesitated, “The contraption is complicated to explain. If you would like to know, then you can find out from the technicians who made the contraptions, they can tell you better.”

“With such a contraption, Fuping County will never have to worry about any drought happening!”

Bountiful praises echoed throughout the farmland. This was Helian Wei Wei’s first battle since arriving at Fuping County’s bureaucracy, and it was a successful one!

However, this was just a start…
