The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

526-530

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?"
