Chapter 526: Slapping Hard In The Face

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Liao Qingtian sagged back in his chair with a ghastly facial expression, even his lips were in white recalling what he had done. It was a real slap in his face!

He, as the heir of the War Dragon Empire, would own the whole War Dragon Empire in the future, let alone the funds.

It was impossible for him to embezzle!

Once Liao Qingtian had figured out this, he, who had never been afraid even in the war, was trembling involuntarily. When he finally got back to his senses, his first reaction was to place both his hands on the floor.

Bang, bang, bang! He kowtowed.

“I’ve done wrong, I’m blind as an owl to offend the Third Prince. Please forgive me, Retired Emperor. For the sake of my previous battle achievement, please spare me my life!”

Liao Qingtian was trying hard to save himself, he hoped that the Retired Emperor would consider the overall situation and spare him his life.

Nevertheless, he had forgotten that the one whom he had offended was not the Retired Emperor, but the domineering Third Prince from the War Dragon Empire!

Baili Jia Jue looked down at him apathetically, “Do you think achieving meritorious military service allows you to kill anyone for the profit of Bayview Restaurant? Liao Qingtian, who gave you this kind of privilege?”

His voice had always been apathetic.

The tone was so cold that it would seep into the bones.

Liao Qingtian did not give up on defending himself, “I didn’t kill anyone, there’s someone else who intended to slander me! The dishes in the Bayview Restaurant were pricey, but it will not cause anyone’s death.” He raised his head with his forehead full of blood as he continued hastily, “Retired Emperor, you should know that the seafood in Bayview Restaurant is the freshest, which should not cause any problems...”

“You’re lying!” Little Seventh Prince strolled over in his short legs with a shiny bald head. He spoke in anger, “I had eaten dead shrimp when I dined in Bayview Seafood Restaurant!”

Liao Qingtian was stunned upon hearing that.

When did the Seventh Prince have dead shrimps at Bayview Restaurant?

This was impossible!

He had purposely instructed his workers in Bayview Restaurant to serve the freshest seafood to all important celebrities.

Ever since the Seventh Prince had created trouble in Bayview Restaurant, basically everyone could recognize him.

How would people dare to serve him dead shrimps...

Unless he had been to the provincial capital earlier than that!

All of a sudden, something came up to Liao Qingtian’s mind!

On the first day when Wei took up an official position, he mentioned that he dined in Bayview Seafood Restaurant and purposely closed Bayview Restaurant with this excuse... could it be that the Seventh Prince had been to Bayview Restaurant during that time?

Liao Qingtian suddenly felt a coldness trailing down his back. If this was true, were they trying to set this up from the beginning?

So he was a turtle that had acted recklessly...

Upon thinking about this, Liao Qingtian’s face turned even paler!

The Retired Emperor maintained his calm tone, “Liao Qingtian, do you know why have I come to provincial capital? The reason was that Little Seven had been having diarrhea after dining in your Bayview Seafood Restaurant! How dare you still quibbling right now! As the general of City Defense Army, the citizens should be your top priority, but instead, you’re killing people in spite of everything! Your shamelessness toward the accusation from an elder was outrageous, how dare you mention your battle achievement in front of me?”

Crack!

The Retired Emperor threw the cup in his hand onto the ground angrily!

“Anyone! Come and bring down this lustful and malicious general who has caused harm to the nation, and behead him! I want to see if there is anyone else who would dare to do anything as they wish just because they have battle achievements!”

Thud!

Liao Qingtian’s legs had completely turned into jelly!

The other imperial officials were drenched with sweat upon hearing the Retired Emperor’s last sentence!

They had never thought that Private Advisor Long whom they had accused previously was actually the Third Prince!

What, what should they do now?

Those imperial officials who attended the court were all trembling in fear that they could not even carry up this cup in their hands.

Especially when they heard the loud roll setting sound outside the yamen, their hands shook and their cups just fell onto the wooden table!

Baili Jia Jue glanced through all of them...

All of the imperial officials sat still promptly while they grinned stiffly, rubbing their hands awkwardly before flattering, “Third Prince is indeed really good in revealing Liao Qingtian’s true color with a word or two! If Your Highness did not turn up in time, we still thought that Liao Qingtian is a well-qualified general who would devote himself to the country and people. It seemed that we all had been hoodwinked by him! Liao Qingtian is in fact so vicious!”

“Indeed! We could only know a person’s face but not his heart. Liao Qingtian that brute! He was acting so perfectly, luckily Your Highness is here!”

Just then, more imperial officials had turned their back against Liao Qingtian suddenly to disentangle themselves.

Helian Wei Wei gazed at these hypocrite imperial officials and curled her lips up as she said, “Dear officials, you guys are interesting! You’ve been protecting Liao Qingtian just now and saying that my private advisor and I are unforgiven corrupted officials! But suddenly you guys turned your back against Liao Qingtian and denounced him as an extremely guilty sinner who deserves death! I can see that your judging criteria are pretty simple. You judge based on a person’s status and only listen to whoever with high status.”

These words were a real slap in their faces. Most of the imperial officials’ faces turned as red as the color of a pig liver, and eventually empurpled!

At this point in time, Elder Helian came to a faint realization.

It was also then that he had started to sit in fear and trembling.

If the purpose was merely to stand up against Liao Qingtian, the Third Prince could just reveal his identity on the spot when he was being caught.

Why would they insist to wait till this moment?

Was he waiting for the Retired Emperor or him to come over?

Elder Helian’s fingers quivered, he could perceive an unprecedented fear.

He was very clear about the tricks and practice of the Third Prince; it would not be such simple.

If someone were to ask him what was the thing that he regretted the most right now, the answer would be his unsatisfied greediness to come to this provincial capital!

If he had known that the Third Prince was here, he would not have come even if he was given a mountain of gold or silver!

It was just a small case.

It did not even deserve his attention.

He had investigated the background of the person with the surname Wei personally – it was too clean, there was nothing special...

But who would have figured out that a prince would stay beside such a low position official!

The feelings of regret drowned Elder Helian.

Fortunately, he was not totally stuck inside yet.

Everything was done by Liao Qingtian and he could say that he was hoodwinked by him, resulting in him to accuse the Third Prince just like the other imperial officials.

If the worst comes to the worst, he would only be blamed for loose discipline and not being aware of the truth.

The Retired Emperor would definitely not condemn him to a severe punishment due to this issue!

Upon thinking this, Elder Helian finally relaxed and tried to make himself look calm to purge himself of suspicion...
