Helian Wei Wei sat up straight. “Since he’s just boasting, it means they are trying to defame our relevant department. In my opinion, it’s not a good idea for this Bayview Seafood Restaurant to continue running their business here. Otherwise, the businessmen from other places will really think that the restaurant is under General Liao’s protection. It will be hard to explain clearly in the future.”

“Lord Wei is saying that Bayview Restaurant should be closed down?” Liao Qingtian could no longer put up a smile. Never had he thought that everything Wei said before was nothing but a foreshadowing for this sentence!

Helian Wei Wei slightly raised the corner of her lips and said, “As General Liao has mentioned just now, the boasting of the waiter from Bayview Restaurant knows no limits. It will definitely obstruct the development of the provincial capital if we let such an unruly and crafty restaurant go on with their business.”

“I think Lord Wei is not aware of the reason behind the opening of this Bayview Restaurant.” Liao Qingtian sneered and continued, “The seafood paid to the imperial palace as a tribute comes from this Bayview Restaurant. The Retired Emperor loves it very much. If Bayview Restaurant is closed down, who will bear the responsibility if the Retired Emperor were to condemn the incident!?”

Helian Wei Wei put down the teacup in her hand. “If the Retired Emperor knows how crafty this restaurant is, he will never allow it to continue running its business, isn’t he?”

“Lord Wei, everything we do must be supported by evidence,” Liao Qingtian said gloomily. “You keep saying that they deceive people, but it’s too early to draw conclusions.”

Helian Wei Wei looked at Liao Qingtian and laughed. “General Liao, based on your performance, I can’t help but doubt the relationship between you and Bayview Restaurant. I think you must be on familiar terms with Bayview Restaurant.”

Liao Qingtian’s face turned black upon hearing this. He knew he had once again fallen into Wei’s trap, his eyes darkened with an intensity of emotion.

Suddenly, he burst into laughter, looking somehow bloody. Then, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said, “Lord Wei is really good at speech, no wonder my brother is defeated by you.”

“General Liao must be joking.” Helian Wei Wei was not afraid of his terrifying evil aura. She then stood up steadily, holding a glass in her left hand and said calmly, “Magistrate Liao is defeated by his greed for money. The expenses that the imperial court has incurred on the officials are not for them to rest on their laurels and be greedy for money. His failure is just as it should be.”

Liao Qingtian locked his gaze on Helian Wei Wei. He burst out laughing after a long while, “Good, very good!”

Since this Wei has no sense to appreciate my favor and wants to do it the hard way, I will let him have a good taste of the consequences for going against me.

The war between them had been officially declared. There was no sign of it on the appearance but it was like the roaring waves under the surface.

They finished their meal in an extremely weird atmosphere.

The officials who initially wanted to be on friendly terms with Helian Wei Wei, were not in the mood to do so when they saw this scene.

Needless to say, those who offend General Liao will never end well in the provincial capital.

Moreover, what kind of place Bayview Restaurant is? It’s built under the instruction of the elder in the Capital. All the systems have been fixed in advance.

But now, Lord Wei is actually suggesting to close it down?!

What’s the difference between this and bringing about his own destruction?

“I never expected that the Princess Consort would have openly offended Liao Qingtian so soon.” Governor Chen changed his address toward Helian Wei Wei when only the three of them were left.

Helian Wei Wei randomly sat on a wooden chair in the yamen and casually said, “Since we are only staying here for less than two days, I don’t have much time to play with him. How daring of him to take my silver, I will let him puke out the money that he cheated.”

“But this Bayview Seafood Restaurant...” Governor Chen took a glance at Baili Jia Jue’s side face as he said that. “I’m afraid it’s not that easy to close it down as it involves the power of those in the Capital. It will be a waste of effort if we can’t achieve the desired outcome after creating a big stir.”

Baili Jia Jue did not say anything; he was holding a scroll in his hands. One was unable to tell his emotions by looking at his side face.

Governor Chen always knew that His Highness was unpredictable. But right now, he really wanted to find out what was on his mind so that he could at least know how things stood, and be more confident in handling them.

Of course, Baili Jia Jue knew what he was thinking and said calmly behind the scroll, “Governor Chen, what do you think we can do to punish a General, who has won in a war before but jeopardize the neighborhood, for the heavy offense?”

“This...” The words lingered between Governor Chen’s lips but he simply lowered his gaze and said, “I’m dull, I could not think of a method.”

Baili Jie Jue knocked the paper with his long fingers and said with a faint smile, “Leverage his strength and hit back.”

Governor Chen could not understand his words as he did not know the ins and outs of the incident. But there was one thing he could be sure of, based on the hot temper of Liao Qingtian, he would not take the incident that happened today well and he would definitely send edict to his head.

After all, Bayview Restaurant is not an ordinary restaurant.

I still have no idea what kind of disturbance will be created by those people up there...

Forgiving him for being old, his brain was not functioning as well as it ought to be when he worked for the Third Prince.

However, there was one thing that Governor Chen had guessed correctly.

Liao Qingtian had really written an edict, he even specified that the edict must be handed to the Elder Residence in the Capital. He wrote down every single word with his eyes full of hatred.

Four or five officials who were on Liao’s side were standing next to General Liao, licking his boots. “General Liao, you’re so clever to send the edict to the elders. I’m afraid this Wei will have to smack himself in the face. He’s such a fool to flaunt his prowess even before investigating the background of our Bayview Restaurant!”

“He’s just a villain holding sway.” General Liao blew dry the ink stain on the brush. “He thinks he’s the one in power simply because the governor of three provinces is supporting him, how dare he gets savage in front of me. I shall see how he will be frightened out of his wits and get lost when the elders come.”

Some of them nodded in agreement. “Such a useless character will just hold us back. But General, shall we warn Bayview Restaurant and collude our confession to avoid messing things up?”

“We shall do it. This Wei is witty and we need to be aware of him. Better find a way to get him into a terrible fix and lose his position as an official. In that case, we can ask Chen to release my nephew and others as well.” General Liao rolled the buddhist prayer beads in his hand, yet it was unable to suppress the evil aura coming from him.

The other officials exchanged glances with each other and said, “This is the provincial capital, Wei is merely an outsider. Although he stays at yamen, all the yamen runners are our men. There will be people reporting to us in an instant if we want to know any information, he will not get the edge on this matter at all. However, it seems like Lord Liao has taken him lightly before this. We have already heard about what he did when he was at Fuping County. Part of the reason he managed to arrest Lord Liao is that he has the support from Governor Chen and the other reason is due to the fact that he has a good private advisor with him. As long as we find a way to cause trouble to the private advisor, it will be more than enough to give him a headache!”

“Private advisor?” An elegant and tall figure, who looked down on General Liao, immediately appeared before his eyes. He sneered and said, “Let’s do it then. Forget it if he is so arrogant, but even his private advisor doesn’t know how to act according to the circumstances. Serves them right...”
