“Can it be resolved? If it’s possible, I’m willing to do anything! I don’t mind even if I need to sacrifice my life for it!” The lady pleaded agitatedly as she suddenly pulled at Helian Wei Wei’s sleeves.

Helian Wei Wei merely smiled and consoled her, “There is no need to take your life, but I will need your help. Follow me to the yamen now, the injuries on your body need to be recorded as evidence.”

It had been eons since the lady had heard the word ‘evidence’. She looked at Helian Wei Wei gratefully, wiping the tears on her face, and asked, “I kept forgetting, but may I ask who you are?”

“My surname is Wei, I am the new county magistrate of Fuping County.” Helian Wei Wei spoke in a clear voice, “The moment I stepped into Fuping, I saw what happened to you.”

The lady looked extremely perplexed and repeated, “County... county magistrate?” She wondered to herself as she observed Helian Wei Wei. At such a young age?

“Yes.” Helian Wei Wei smiled and nodded.

The lady did not completely believe her, but she seemed to have overheard Private Advisor Zhang address her as ‘Lord Wei’.

While she was still in a daze, they had already entered the yamen.

Helian Wei Wei ordered someone to brew some tea. Then, she held the teacup in one hand and pinched the lady’s arm with the other. Suddenly, she yanked at her arm with force!

“Ouch!” The lady screamed loudly, breaking into a cold sweat as she looked at Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei removed her hand and looked back, seemingly trying to find something.

Baili Jia Jue, who had been silent all this time, pulled out a white handkerchief that he was carrying with an indifferent expression. Then, he took her hand and gave it a wipe.

Helian Wei Wei grinned, receiving a service from the Third Prince indeed felt different.

The woman had just realized Baili Jia Jue’s presence beside Helian Wei Wei, her cheeks began to flush red in a blink of an eye.

I... I have never seen such a handsome man.

His appearance is too blindingly radiant!

Helian Wei Wei looked at her when she noticed her stare, and said, “This is Private Advisor Long. Uhm... he’s married.”

Baili Jia Jue smirked when he heard her, and extended his hand to gently massage her head.

The lady’s expression seemed petrified. Why do I feel that there is something strange between the newly-appointed county magistrate and the private advisor...

“Master seems to have a great relationship with your Private Advisor.”

Helian Wei Wei smiled as she replied, “We were schoolmates after all.”

“Schoolmates? No wonder both of you are so close.” The lady shook her wrist, the dull pain from before had subsided. Then, she looked at Helian Wei Wei extremely gratefully, and asked her sincerely, “Lord Wei, may I ask if you come to Fuping Country through any connection? ”

Helian Wei Wei merely smiled and replied, “No.”

“Then, it’s better for Lord Wei not to meddle in this matter.” The lady lowered her eyes and added, “I don’t want to cause you losing your position because of my problems.”

Helian Wei Wei drank a sip of tea and inquired, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about, how could I be dismissed by handling matters lawfully? ”

“I believe Lord Wei also heard just now about how tremendously powerful Yan Manor is. Private Advisor Zhang has many years of relationship with them and they are inseparable now.” The lady chuckled softly, but the sound she emitted was evidently filled with pain and scorn.

Helian Wei Wei no longer seemed to be fazed by the things she heard about there. She smiled faintly, reminding her, “You seem to have forgotten that the county magistrate has a higher rank than the private advisor.”

“Private Advisor Zhang is merely the tip of the iceberg!” The lady saw that Helian Wei Wei did not take her words seriously, and continued anxiously, “Yan Manor have connections in the Capital, so high-ranking that no one would dare to provoke them. Honest officials had come to Fuping Country before, but they all became corrupted in less than a month, threatening to kill anyone who obstructed them! If you don’t have any connections from the top, you will soon be their next target if you stand up for me. Kind people are rare nowadays, an honest magistrate is even rarer than the blue moon. I don’t want you to be ruined because of me.”

The lady saw that Helian Wei Wei seemed a lot younger than her, almost of the same age as her younger brother.

The lady’s younger brother was bludgeoned so severely when he tried retaliating against the brutes, that he could not even take a step out of his bed.

Helian Wei Wei changed her pose as she put the teacup down, saying, “A government official’s duty is to serve the people. If I ignore your problem, how can I call myself a good person or a good official?”

“Lord Wei, you wouldn’t know because you are too young. Many girls have been targeted by Old Master Yan just like me, some of the victims even came together to make an official complaint. They had collected all the evidence and were preparing to head to the Capital to make a report to the Emperor. However, they were stopped by the people of the county magistrate before they could leave the county. Their connections reach wide and far, normal people like us cannot afford to offend them.”

Helian Wei Wei remained smiling as she asked, “Nothing in this world is infallible, I only believe that there’s right and wrong. Pardon me, I still don’t know your name even though we have been speaking for so long.”

“My name is Liu Yin.” Concern and fear flashed in the lady’s eyes as she added, “Master, please listen to my advice. Why don’t we leave here now? Old Master Yan has not woken up yet, he won’t notice it if we leave now. You still need to stay in Fuping Country for a long period of time. I know you’re an upright person, but I can only blame myself for being unlucky to be in this situation.”

Helian Wei Wei interrupted her with a smile, “Liu Yin, I can almost see the whole picture of the situation now, I’ve also asked Private Advisor Long to make a record. You return home first, the yamen will probably find you to ask some questions tomorrow. However, there’s no need to fret, just say whatever that is right. Since I’m in charge of here now, I vow to completely transform this Fuping County, nothing that happens will be blamed on one’s luck. Remember my words, a government official’s duty is to serve the people.”

Liu Yin felt consoled when she saw the gentle smile on Helian Wei Wei’s face. This type of government official was few and far between. This man standing in front of me seems convincing, even though he is merely a young man.

“Da Xiong.” Helian Wei Wei suddenly deepened her voice.

Before Liu Yin could even react, a dark shadow flashed in front of her eyes.

The man was very much higher than her. Not only was he large, but he also seemed very well-built and his limbs were nimble. He was carrying a black long pole on his shoulder; its function was unknown. She could feel that it would not be wise to provoke him, he seemed more menacing and vile than the fighters from Yan Manor!

“Young Master.” Da Xiong snickered to himself and said, “You called?”

Helian Wei Wei glanced at Liu Yin and ordered, “Follow Miss Liu Yin home. If anyone dares to disturb her, whether they are from the Yan Manor or the yamen, you have my permission to retaliate with violence!”

“Don’t worry Young Master, men who beat women are an embarrassment for us! I will make sure to pummel them until they cry for their parents!” Da Xiong slapped his chest as a sign of assurance.

Helian Wei Wei trusted his capability, thus she sent them both off with a contented smile on her face. However, a brief moment later, a yamen servant rushed in and announced in a ringing voice, “Master, there’s an invitation from the Yan Manor, they want you to meet them at the Tianfang Pavilion...”
