A ray of light flashed through Liao Qingtian’s eyes when he heard the words ‘kill the witnesses’. Although there were quite a number of people who knew the inside story of Bayview Seafood Restaurant, none had the evidence.

Wei Wei was the only one holding on to this matter.

However, the one with the surname of Wei could not be killed.

If they killed him at this point in time, what they intended to hide would be revealed.

Especially when he was still holding an official position.

Even though he was just a small local magistrate, the Retired Emperor would definitely pay him a visit since he had arrived at the provincial capital.

Therefore, he could only set his hands on those who used to have conflicts with Bayview Restaurant. action

Liao Qingtian lowered his voice, “Elder, you may rest assured, I know what to do.”

Elder Helian nodded as he added, “I heard that the man named Wei has a private advisor devising strategies for him?”

“We caught him earlier, there is no way any news would be leaked.” Liao Qingtian lowered his voice again, “If he remained stubborn prior to the court session, I will instruct someone to kill him tonight!”

Elder Helian withdrew his sight. “You can handle such trivial matters by yourself. He is merely a private advisor, settle it as you like. Now that the Retired Emperor has arrived in the provincial capital, it will be inconvenient for me to intervene in certain matters. Go and deal with those who have resentment toward Bayview Restaurant over the years, especially those involving deaths. Don’t worry, I will stand on your side during the court session. The Retired Emperor has a good impression toward Bayview Restaurant all along, he will not believe in everything being said by a mere magistrate. Things will be fine as long as nothing goes wrong with Bayview Seafood Restaurant.”

“Alright.” Liao Qingtian lowered his eyes, looking at Elder Helian respectfully as he saw Elder Helian walking into the inn.

After a while, he turned over and instructed his trusted aide, Lord Zhang, “How did you handle the Zhao Family who stirred up a lot of trouble a while ago?”

Lord Zhang went blank for a moment before replying, “It’s settled, the old lady refused to take the money, so I ordered a few people to destroy their house, they have been quiet ever since.”

“Go and handle it again.” Liao Qingtian squinted his eyes and said, “Since we have already reached this step, let’s tie up all the loose ends. What’s the use of keeping an old lady alive?”

Sensing the cruelty in his tone, Lord Zhang could not help but lower his voice, “Your humble servant will go now.”

“Make yourself invisible.” Liao Qingtian had no idea why his heart had not been at ease since the appearance of the Retired Emperor.

Lord Zhang lowered his eyes, “General Liao, don’t worry about it. Killing people is nothing for our troops.”

“You may leave.” Liao Qingtian leaned on the carriage, slowly closing his eyes while speaking, “I need to take some rest as well.”

If things were not as tense, he would never allow Lord Zhang to do this during the day.

After all, it was just an old lady who lived in the broken, dark alley.

As long as the alley was blocked, people would not know how the old lady died...

Noon – in the sun.

The mercenary dressed in black knelt in front of Helian Wei Wei. “Young master, Liao Qingtian has employed the assassination troop from the city watch guards, do we need to follow them?”

“Of course.” Helian Wei Wei was dressed in white, her lips curled while she smiled, “How about Master Hei? Is he here?”

The mercenary nodded his head, “Second Master Hei was with us the whole day, he even asked me the reason why you called for him.”

“There is some business to do.” Helian Wei Wei played with the cup in her hand. “Tell Master Hei to help me in a fight, I will give him a restaurant as a gift in return.”

The mercenary knew that the two masters had a great relationship just like brothers and sisters, thus, he nodded as he accepted the command and withdrew.

Governor Chen trembled with fear after listening to their conversation, “The Master Hei mentioned by Princess Consort earlier, is he the one from the Hei family?” Oh gosh, how many legendary people with fearsome reputation had arrived in this provincial capital!

At this moment, Lord Chen was still unaware of the arrival of Retired Emperor. If he knew, he would definitely not be as shocked by the appearance of Second Master Hei.

On the other side, Helian Wei Wei took a sip of tea and said, “It’s him. It has been some time since he was grounded by Old Master Hei, this time, he is desperate to come out.”

Lord Chen merely listened and did not express his opinion. Everyone knew the military influence of the Hei Family. They never got involved with any other well-known families, and hence, hardly anyone has the capability of inviting the most formidable person in the Hei Family, Second Master Hei.

“Oh right, Lord Chen, is there anyone available from your side? I don’t need many, my people are already good at fighting, so you just need to send two or three people for us to look good.” Helian Wei Wei looked back and smiled.

Lord Chen was confused. “Why does Princess Consort need people?”

“To rescue the beauty, of course. How can I let my second brother fight alone in a bloody battle.” It was easy for Helian Wei Wei to say.

But Lord Chen could smell something fishy from her words...

The politics in the provincial capital would probably undergo a complete revolution.

Who said that there would not be a change in politics?

Liao Qingtian tried his best to think of ways to please the Retired Emperor, yet the Retired Emperor refused to meet him at all.

On the other hand, the Retired Emperor was wondering about some other things. Not even one of the shadow guards whom he sent out to transfer a message for the cold brat had returned.

Most of all, the retired emperor had always been a calm person. Now that he had just arrived in the provincial capital, he did not want to cause a big scene, although Liao Qingtian had recognized him.

However, the Retired Emperor did not say a thing, he did not have the audacity to spread the news as well. He could only wait until the court trial in the afternoon.

At this point, Liao Qingtian was relieved. There was nothing to be feared when the Elder was on his side.

The person with the surname of Wei had no power and no rights, even his private advisor had been captured by them. There was no chance for him to cause any trouble.

After all, word of mouth alone could not be taken as evidence. Even if he mentioned Bayview Seafood Restaurant in the court, those who were involved in this case had either moved to the suburbs or died a long time ago.

He did not believe the person with the surname of Wei had the ability to let the dead speak!

Thinking of this, Liao Qingtian smiled in relief, temporarily putting aside the fact that he had offended the Little Seventh Prince.

No matter how much the Retired Emperor pampered the Seventh Prince, he would not withdraw his position solely due to this incident.

Now, all he needed to do was to sit and watch a good show, seeing how the person named Wei would dig his own grave!

At this time, Liao Qingtian was still unaware that the person who was digging his own grave was he himself...

The battle in the dark alley had officially been kicked off.

The assassination team thought things would be settled once they killed the old lady, but now they were spitefully looking at the tall figures who blocked their way.

“Didn’t someone tell you people that nobody is allowed to enter this alley? I advise you to make way!”

It was the first time Master Hei had been threatened ever since he was born, he raised his brows and spoke coldly, “What if I don’t?”

Looking at this cold and domineering man, the leader felt a rising trace of fear in his heart. But who were they, they were people who came from the military, why should they be afraid of him?

“Refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Attack!”
