Chapter 498: Exposure Of Identity?

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

At this moment, the news about Helian Wei Wei cutting off the evildoers and conferring benefits on the society of Fuping had spread out among the folks.

Everyone was in immense satisfaction. They put up banners in the field, hanging them one by one. All of them were manifesting their gratitude to Helian Wei Wei.

When Governor Chen saw the water pump that was installed at the riverside, he felt a rare excitement and accidentally called Helian Wei Wei by her actual title, “Princess Consort! The Retired Emperor will surely thank you on behalf of all the people in the War Dragon Empire if he sees this. There are many mountain areas that cannot withstand the drought as it is very difficult for them to get water. During this time of the year, there will be many people lining up at the warehouse to get food from the provincial capital! Now that they have this creation from Princess Consort, the people won’t have to worry about their food and water anymore...”

Thud!

Liu Yin dropped the watermelon she held in her arms; it fell hard on the ground, shattering into five or six pieces. It had also interrupted the conversation between Governor Chen and Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei who was still in her plain white robe turned around to look at her, lifting the corner of her eyes a little. “What’s wrong?”

“Lord, Lord Chen, just now, did he address you the Princess Consort?!” Liu Yin started to suspect that her ears were malfunctioning.

Unexpectedly, Helian Wei Wei blinked mischievously and admitted generously, “I forgot to tell you that I’m actually a girl.”

No, it’s not about the gender!

But... Prin, Princess Consort!?

Liu Yin was so shocked that she immediately knelt down. “I didn’t know that Princess Consort has come...”

“Shhh!” Helian Wei Wei placed her finger on her lips and pulled her up from the ground. “I purposely disguised myself before coming here so that people can’t find out.”

Liu Yin was still a bit baffled, but she was clever enough to remain silent at this moment.

No wonder, no wonder Governor Chen is not as dignified when he is facing Lord Wei. On the contrary, he is unreasonably polite. It turns out that it is because Lord Wei has a strong background.

As predicted along the line, then wouldn’t Private Advisor Long have a stronger background since Governor Chen has been following behind Private Advisor Long willingly?

Someone who is even more powerful than the current princess consort, isn’t that...

Liu Yin was so surprised that she could not continue to dwell on the answer!

On the other side, Baili Jia Jue reached out his hand to save the carrier pigeon from the little one. His gaze gradually turned cold as he read the slip of paper that he had removed from the pigeon.

“What’s wrong?” Helian Wei Wei naturally noticed his mood swings.

Baili Jia Jue handed over the letter in his hands and said indifferently, “The snake has entered the hole, we should take action as well.”

Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows while scanning the content on the paper. There was a vague hint of mockery at the corner of her lips, these imperial officials are immensely dishonest, they still have so many dirty ideas even when they are all locked up in jail.

Do they really not know that one of the rules of being an official is that they should cut off all ties with people above them when they are in such a situation?

Perhaps, in that case, they might have a chance to live.

But they have deliberately chosen the most foolish way possible and sought help from the people above them? What’s the difference between seeking their own death?

Helian Wei Wei slightly raised her thin lips and said, “Have you settled everything for Fuping?”

“Yes, Fuping’s biggest problem is the drought, now that this problem is solved, the real county magistrate will take up his post three days later. You don’t have to worry as the new county magistrate is my man, he’ll get things done.” Baili Jia Jue sounded elegant as usual, he always had the special ability to convince other people.

Helian Wei Wei thought for a while and had the same opinion that they should shift upward.

Even though it was great staying in Fuping County, there were more important things waiting for her to do in the Capital...

It had been five days since Baili Jia Jue and Helian Wei Wei left the imperial palace.

During these five days, the stewards in the Helian family had publicly and secretly divided the financial resources that were originally belonged to the Helian Clan among themselves.

Some did it with extreme vigilance.

While the others just started planning it glaringly, that they would discuss about voting Helian Wei Wei out in a few days time.

They genuinely thought that Helian Wei Wei would not obtain any chance to achieve the rank of an official. Little did they know that the name of ‘Upright Official Wei’ had traveled throughout the nearby provincial capital that was right across the hillside from the Capital.

Since there were a lot of things to be passed down before leaving, Helian Wei Wei summoned the two from the few county magistrates who were left after the anti-corruption activity, and told them that she was leaving.

The two county magistrates thought they were finally in peace as there was a great official in Fuping County, but who would have thought that they would receive such news?

“Is it because those people have too much power so it affects Lord Wei’s official career?” one of the county magistrates asked worriedly.

Helian Wei Wei smiled and shook her head. “Rather than being affected, I will say that I’m promoted to a higher position. I’m getting promoted to the court.”

“So fast?” The county magistrates found that unbelievable, how many days has it been since Lord Wei came to Fuping county? He’s getting promoted again? This is so illogical, isn’t it? No matter how great he is, he will need someone to report it to the people in higher ranks!

Seeing that she was unable to fool them anymore, she said without any hesitation, “I’ve used my family to pull some strings.”

The county magistrates were once again shocked to hear that, they had always thought that Lord Wei had no background.

After all, the previous Magistrate Liao must have investigated everything about Lord Wei, hence Liao should not have missed it if Lord Wei really has a background.

Besides, judging from the performance of those imperial officials from the provincial capital, they did not worry about anything and was obviously trying to remove Lord Wei from his position.

Everything clearly points out that Lord Wei does not have any background.

But now, Lord Wei had told them personally, “I’ve used my family to pull some strings.”

What kind of a family connection will allow him to be promoted from the position of a small county magistrate to the highest position? Regardless of the fact that it only took six days for it to happen, even Magistrate Liao who has a lot of connections in the Capital is unable to find out the true identity of Lord Wei...

Lord Wei must be lying to them as he doesn’t want them to worry about him.

The county magistrates exchanged glances with each other. Then, they looked at Helian Wei Wei with a hint of hesitation in their eyes. “Lord Wei, you can let us know if you have any difficulty.”

Helian Wei Wei knew that they had gotten the wrong idea the moment she heard what they mentioned.

However, this had nonetheless saved her effort from continuing to explain herself.

She nodded smilingly and told both the county magistrates about the subsequent method to develop the nearby county along with their county.

The two county magistrates listened seriously, as if they were taking in precious experiences.

Ever since the water pump was invented, the people were totally impressed when they talked about Helian Wei Wei, not to mention the things she was delivering to them right now. Of course, they would value what she had taught them.

Helian Wei Wei left without leaving a word to anyone.

Governor Chen had left a day earlier before them because he needed to cart the officials off to prison to be tried...
