Chapter 478: His Highness’ Tyranny And DuplicityTranslator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“Magistrate Liao and Old Master Yan also went to the provincial capital, they’re probably speaking with Lord Chen about the road construction now. Ah, I just remembered. Lord Wei doesn’t know who Lord Chen is right…”
“Who is he?” Helian Wei Wei playfully asked him.
“He’s the new governor of three provinces, sent from the Capital. You may not know this, but Lord Chen and Magistrate Liau are very close. In my opinion, this road construction project should be smooth-sailing! When that happens, as long as we stay put and don’t trouble Magistrate Liao, we’ll have chances to get promoted!” Private Advisor Zhang spoke as if he personally saw how close Governor Chen and Magistrate Liao were.
Chen Liang cursed silently. F*ck!
Of course, I know who is close to my dad!
My dad absolutely detests Magistrate Liao. He merely meets with him to maintain an amicable relationship. How are they close?
If they are close, how can this servant not recognize me as Governor Chen’s son?
Helian Wei Wei smiled cunningly.
Chen Liang looked at her with teary eyes and said, “Boss, don’t stop me. Let me destroy him!”
Helian Wei Wei patted his shoulder, trying to calm him down.
How can I not be agitated? These people are clearly slandering my dad!
“Boss, please tell the Third Prince. My dad is definitely an honest official. Although it is not obvious, he is really different from these people!”
Helian Wei Wei wanted to laugh when she saw his teary eyes, but the situation was inappropriate for that. She merely glanced at Baili Jia Jue.
Baili Jia Jue ambled toward them, speaking so softly that only Chen Liang could hear his voice, “If you make her touch your shoulder again, believe me, I will make sure you leave here as a crippled man.”
Chen Liang immediately stood straight, but he felt deeply wronged. Boss is merely comforting me, isn’t the Third Prince being a little too possessive…
Private Advisor Zhang did not know what was happening, but he assumed that both of Helian Wei Wei’s followers were simply discussing the issues, and boastfully continued, “Lord Wei, listen to my advice, I have been in Fuping County for many years. What you’re doing now is a waste of effort. Why don’t you listen to Magistrate Liao and do some practical things? You will even rise through the ranks quicker.”
“So according to you, being an officer is all about being promoted and not serving the people of this country?” Helian Wei Wei casually threw a question back at him.
Private Advisor Zhang’s expression darkened, forcing a fake smile as he replied, “That is all up to Lord Wei yourself. It’s late now, I still have some things to attend to. Lord Wei, please get some rest. Maybe someone will give you the silver for the drought in your dream.”
His words were dripping with sarcasm, clearly implying that Helian Wei Wei was simply trying to achieve the impossible, and it was all merely a pipe dream.
Private Advisor Zhang did not wait for Helian Wei Wei to answer, he immediately left with his servant, brushing his sleeves on his way out.
Chen Liang was fuming with wrath. “After all these years, this is my first time seeing a private advisor talking back to a county magistrate. This Fuping County is lawless! Boss, how did you hold it in?”
“I have no status yet, it’s normal to be in this situation.” Helian Wei Wei asked a yamen runner to prepare some tea. When he left, she continued, “I will get rid of these people one day. What’s the fun in taking out just one of them, it would be better to eradicate all of them in one strike.”
Chen Liang was frustrated, but his anger turned into excitement, coursing through his veins when he heard what Helian Wei Wei mentioned. When he recalled the methods used by Boss in the past, every one of them was a shocking surprise. He wondered curiously what she would do this time.
“Boss, when are you making your move? Count me in! Their eyes are too focused on the money, they’re not worthy to work for the people!”
Helian Wei Wei knew that he had an honest heart. As she touched her ring, a cold light shone from her eyes, she then uttered, “Don’t be impatient, they’re the ones who should be anxious…”
Magistrate Liao and Old Master Yan were indeed terribly anxious, like a cat on a hot tin roof. They knew the funds were arriving soon, but the carrier informed them that the superiors had ordered him to pass through Fuping County to deliver it.
Governor Chen is a villainous and cunning man. He always behaves disinterestedly and ambiguously, not wanting to reveal anything important to anyone.
This slightly irked Magistrate Liao. When he returned to Fuping County, he sent his men to invite Helian Wei Wei for a meal again. However, at the table with several other county magistrates, he spoke vaguely without naming anyone, covertly implying that someone should look at the big picture and not worry about unnecessary details. From the Fuping County to the surrounding villages, the most crucial agenda was the road construction. Only with that, the people in the country would prosper!
“Don’t worry. As a magistrate, I won’t take the lion’s share. When the road is done, the people and the imperial court will be elated. Don’t bother yourself, there’s no need for you to do any troublesome things!”
Helian Wei Wei purposely ignored his words, smiling slightly as she rotated the cup in her hand.
Magistrate Liao glanced at her from the corner of his eye and added, “Lord Wei, let’s hear your opinion on this.”
“My opinion?” Helian Wei Wei nonchalantly drank her tea and replied, “I’ve already told Magistrate Liao last time. The second drought is coming soon, I’m just thinking about how to prevent it.”
Magistrate Liao mockingly said, “Lord Wei is such a kind officer, always putting the people first. However, you need to be more open-minded sometimes. Maybe no one actually wants you to do that.”
The rest of the officers joined in the laughter. Magistrate Liao was secretly hinting that Helian Wei Wei had overestimated herself. From their eyes, she was not even worth a mention.
Helian Wei Wei merely squinted and smirked, “We shall wait and see.”
They burst into a fit of laughter again when they heard her.
They heard that this new county magistrate ignorantly went to the provincial capital despite having no influential connections. In the end, she failed to meet anyone and returned disappointedly. What gave her the confidence to go against Magistrate Liao like this? She even thought that she had the power to turn the table by herself. Hahaha, this bumpkin! Such recklessness!
However, they were oblivious to what was currently happening. Governor Chen had just returned to the provincial capital when he received a very important letter.
“You’re finally back, Old Master!” The servant stood at the door, quickly passing the letter to Lord Chen and said, “This is from the private advisor of young master’s friend, he asked me to give it to you.”
“A private advisor of my son’s friend?” Lord Chen thought to himself about how complicated this relationship was as he opened the letter. There were merely a few words written on it- ‘the dragon soars as the phoenix dances, filled with spirit and bursting with grandiose’.
But, that isn’t the important thing!
What’s important is the sender’s name at the bottom of the letter!
