Chapter 494: Dramatic Turnaround Of The Plot!

“Well!”

Before Yan Dazhao could finish his words, he was given a hard punch by the guards brought over by Magistrate Liao!

The guard was a Water League warrior, a single punch on Yan Dazhao’s face broke his front teeth. His mouth was bleeding and he looked terrible.

Yan Dazhao was unable to speak anymore even if Helian Wei Wei wanted to continue the interrogation. One could only imagine how cruel Magistrate Liao’s means were.

The case finally had a turnaround.

Yan Dazhao’s crimes became a reality.

He also finally got a taste of reality where everyone pushed him aside after he had fallen, and no one was there to defend him.

He just lay on the floor and after he was beaten half to death, the guard dragged him down.

Liu Yin and Old Man Liu were very excited as they watched all that.

Especially, Liu Yin, she could finally shake off the ‘unusual’ gaze from others. When she looked at Helian Wei Wei once more, her eyes were filled with grateful tears.

The other two girls cried out loud right away.

The grievance that plagued them for so long finally got vented out!

As long as Yan Dazhao remained a free man, they would have to live under the trauma from that incident forever. Aside from being physically hurt, they still had to endure the criticism from the public of being ‘indiscreet’.

At that very moment, Xiao Cui could not find words to describe her feelings. She cried out loudly as she grabbed Liu Yin’s hand, “Finally, finally there’s someone who can punish him!”

Such a simple sentence, but it contained too much pain and hatred.

Xiao Cui’s second uncle was not that happy though; he puckered his lips and looked at Magistrate Liao. “You see, Lord Liao, what about the other half of the silver that Old Master Yan promised us…”

How dare he mentioned the silver! Magistrate Liao wished that he could kill all of these foolish villagers. Not to say that they were being greedy, they could not even understand the situation before speaking!

“My fellow villagers.” Magistrate Liao’s said in a cold tone, “Did you know that the false testimony that you gave about Yan Dazhao almost led to a wrongful judgment of the case by the lords? Men, bring this heckler down and give him 20 beatings!”

Beatings? He was stunned when he heard it. He had followed the little rascal to the yamen just for the silver. He did not get any silver in the end and yet still had to suffer beatings?!

“My lord!” The man went pale-faced and grew anxious. As he was about to defend himself, the guard who dragged Yan Dazhao away came and carried him whereas the other two yamen runners helped to press him down.

A little while later, the court was filled with the sound of beatings. Whack, whack, whack.

It pained everyone who heard it.

Magistrate Liao shifted all his grudge for Helian Wei Wei at the villager who should not have spoken at that moment, “Beat him good. Let’s see if anyone else dares to submit a fake testimony in the future. Beat him for 20 times first and let him remember to never influence with the investigation of the case!”

Magistrate Liao’s action was obviously trying to shift the mistake of the wrongfully judged case to a civilian. Based on what he claimed, the reason why the case was wrongfully judged had nothing to do with the imperial officials protecting the accused, it was because someone gave false testimony!

“Lord Liao, you are really quick with your actions.” Helian Wei Wei said softly, there was not a bit of emotion in her tone, neither did she stop Magistrate Liao. Those who provided false testimony must indeed be punished, especially the ones like the man. He should have known giving false testimony would hurt people but he still came to the court because he was greedy for silver, people like him must no doubt be punished.

After all, it did not mean that the imperial officials had no responsibility at all, especially this Liao mastermind!

However, there were always men who were shameless beyond imagination in this world; Magistrate Liao said righteously, “There is nothing else to be said in front of people like him.”

Helian Wei Wei watched Magistrate Liao’s act with a sneer; she twisted her fingers and curled her lips into a cold smile, “If that’s the case, Magistrate Liao, should you explain the sentence that Yan Dazhao had said before he was dragged away? Based on the words of his and the villager who gave false testimony, bribing the witness with silver seems to be Lord Liao’s idea?”

When the words exited her mouth, the civilians who were there for the hearing looked at Magistrate Liao.

The several imperial officials from the provincial capital were instantly put in a difficult and ugly situation.

Magistrate Liao dangerously squinted his eyes and sinisterly said word by word, “Lord Wei, you really should not simply slander people. The two stewards on the ground are from Yan Manor and not from my Liao Manor. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to hold me responsible for everything.”

“So Lord Liao, are you denying it?” Helian Wei Wei chuckled, “It’s fine. Since the man is not dead from the beatings, Private Advisor Long, please bring that villager back onto the court.”

Baili Jia Jue curled his thin lips into an evil smile, but right after he took the first step, two guards were standing in his way.

Helian Wei Wei’s eyes instantly turned cold!

Lord Chen, the governor of three provinces, thought that he must step out now, otherwise, things would go out of control and no one would be able to provide closure to the case!

Out of surprise, at that very moment.

An ear-piercing voice came from outside, “My lord, I want to sue County Magistrate Wei of Fuping County!”

The man was 17 to 18 years of age. Aside from the beautiful clothes, there was a big shiny golden ring on his finger. Judging from that proud and arrogant look, if he was not Master Liao, who else would it be?

The moment he stepped into the court hall, he exchanged looks with Magistrate Liao.

Magistrate Liao subtly nodded at him. The corner of his mouth which was drooping earlier was now curled into an evil smile directed at Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei exchanged a gaze with Baili Jia Jue, though the man’s deep and black eyes showed no emotion.

The several imperial officials from the provincial capital reacted rather excitedly at Master Liao’s appearance. They instinctively looked toward Magistrate Liao.

As a matter of fact, the reason why Magistrate Liao prospered in his career was mostly because of this particular son.

Master Liao was the only nephew of that elder in the Capital, so he was much loved and cherished.

Rumors had it that the elder had intentions to let his nephew take his place, so it was safe to say that all the power and influence would one day fall into Master Liao’s hands.

That was why the imperial officials from the provincial capital reacted as such.

One of the imperial officials who favored the Helian family stood up right away and said with a flattering smile, “Second Master, why are you here?”

After the title was mentioned, Helian Wei Wei raised a brow and her lips were curled into a ridiculing smile.

When Yuan Ming heard the words, he too popped out, which was rare for him. He said with evil delight, “Woman, I think you should just reveal the identity of your man. These imperial officials are just some b*stards who only recognize authority. They might work together to set you up later. I’ve known too much of these human tricks.”

Helian Wei Wei tilted her head and gave it a thought, it seemed like she was really considering Yuan Ming’s words.

Master Liao walked over to Helian Wei Wei proudly, each step and action he took was showing off his arrogance. “I want to sue the county magistrate of Fuping County, Wei Wei!”
