Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 13 Regaining Innocence
Finally, the day of the trial at Dali Temple came.

After being a lawyer, Su Lijin changed into men's clothes and left the palace secretly through a secret passage.

She came to the yamen of Dali Temple as promised, but found that many people watching the excitement had already surrounded the yamen.

Come to think of it, Guo Shangshu is concerned about the country and the people, and has done so many good things for the people. He is still very concerned about the retrial of the corruption case.

Not long after, Guo Tang was also brought up. He was still wearing shackles and handcuffs, but he looked neither arrogant nor humble, as if Mr. Guo was standing in front of him in high spirits and wearing court clothes.

"Master Guo."

Su Lijin leaned over to salute Guo Tang who was standing beside her.

Guo Tang didn't speak, but took a deep look at Su Lijin, then nodded, and then stood beside her.

"Okay, since the person has arrived, let's try it earlier."

The adult sitting on the top cast his eyes on Guo Tang seriously.

"Guo Tang, let me ask you, are you wronged in the corruption case?"

"Naturally." Guo Tang raised his head slightly with a cold look in his eyes.

"What evidence is there?"

Su Lijin opened her mouth and immediately took the right to speak. "My lord, of course there is evidence. Let's not talk about anything else. When Mr. Guo was an official in the court, he always did his best to serve the people. He never put on the airs of an adult."

As a lawyer, now she is about to display her abilities.

"As long as the people need help, Mr. Guo is obliged to help. How can such a person embezzle and oppress the people for those silver taels?"

Su Lijin first directly stated Guo Tang's prestige and usual style in front of the people, and wanted everyone to change their prejudices.

But, after all, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.

Now that Guo Tang has become a prisoner, no one will take the initiative to speak to him.

Therefore, none of the people watching outside opened their mouths. Occasionally, a few wanted to open their mouths, but they were held down by their relatives, shook their heads, and could only silently wait for Su Lijin's next words.

With slightly cold eyes, Su Lijin looked at the people who refused to speak, and still felt somewhat chilled.

"That's all in the past. How can you guarantee that Guo Tang will not have other thoughts for money? Besides, it was already a matter of conclusive evidence at that time. I think..."

The adults sitting in the high hall were planning to say something.

But Su Lijin didn't give him this chance.

"The evidence is solid? My lord, I have already found the key evidence in the corruption case."

As she spoke, she took out the burned account book directly from her sleeve.

"Although it has been burnt, you can barely see the accounts above, one by one, and remember it clearly. It can be proved that Mr. Guo did not embezzle any silver at all when he was an official."

The yamen servant handed over the evidence in Su Lijin's hands to the adults.

After carefully looking at the accounts, it can indeed be proved that he was not corrupt.

"But the silver coins that proved Guo Tang's embezzlement are indeed conclusive evidence in front of everyone. How do you explain this?"

Yes.

Back then, Guo Tang was forced to go to jail because a large amount of silver appeared in his mansion.

The evidence was overwhelming, and he couldn't argue.

But now, Su Lijin has made sufficient preparations, so naturally she will not let this go.

"As far as I know, the emperor sent a batch of silver taels for disaster relief back then, but they were snatched by robbers during the transportation, and the silver taels that were robbed at the beginning, and the ones that were found in Mr. Guo's home Silver and silver bear the same stamp."

After hearing this, the presiding judge hurriedly asked someone to check it. The person who checked it took a few pieces of silver at random, and then went to get the records of the silver taels sent by the emperor for disaster relief at that time, and compared it with the silver taels found in Guo Tang's home.

The imprint is indeed the same.

Originally, the adults who tried the case planned to say something.

"My lord, is there really someone who was corrupted in this matter, or is someone framing it behind the scenes? I don't think I need to say more?" Su Lijin said unhurriedly after seeing the evidence.

With the evidence in front of him, even if Guo Tang didn't have to say a word, it would be enough to prove his innocence.

The judge had no choice but to announce Guo Tang's acquittal, thinking that this kind of major case would be reversed in his own hands, and his political achievements this year would be greatly reduced.

Su Lijin supported Guo Tang's arm with red eyes and a little excitement.

"Master Guo, you will be innocent again from now on."

Guo Tang nodded, then turned his gaze to the sky outside the door.

I haven't seen such a blue sky for a long time.

Su Lijin couldn't stay outside the palace for too long, so after arranging Guo Tang's whereabouts, she hurried back to the palace.

She was in a hurry to change her clothes, but she didn't notice at all that what she said in the Dali Temple just now had been fully seen by the spies hidden among the people.

Inside the imperial study.

The man slightly stopped the hand playing with the white porcelain cup, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened unconsciously.

"Oh? You mean, the eloquent person who cleared Guo Tang's grievances is the queen?"

"Reporting to the emperor, my subordinates will not be mistaken. They have indeed seen the empress returning to the palace through a secret passage."

The spy leaned over and cupped his fists, and spoke very respectfully.

Xiao Shengyun pursed his lips and smiled lightly, but there was a strange emotion surging in his eyes.

Interesting.

In the past, Jin'er was unwilling to cause trouble and kept to herself, but these past few times, her speech and behavior have changed greatly, and she suddenly became enlightened after encountering an incident, without leaving any regrets.

Thinking of this, he actually felt a little pity that he didn't see Su Lijin's performance with his own eyes.

"Go down."

With a slight wave of his hand, the spy standing in front of him turned and left, and his figure was instantly hidden in the darkness.

Xiao Shengyun lowered his eyes and pressed his left hand slowly.

Last time in the Guo Mansion, if he didn't try to break free, he would definitely expose his identity.

But now, Su Lijin has actually become Guo Tang's lawyer, and I don't know if what happened last time has anything to do with her.

The next day, Su Lijin changed into men's clothes and couldn't wait to go out of the palace to find Guo Tang.

She came to the inn she had agreed with Guo Tang, and when she reached the door of the room, she was about to knock on the door.

But I heard the voice of Guo Tang talking to another man from inside, who is it?Now that Guo Tang had just been rehabilitated and came to him, Su Lijin approached the door, ready to listen to what they were talking about.

The original voice became softer after Su Lijin approached, before he could hear it clearly.

Guo Tang's cold voice came from inside the room: "Who?"

The door in front of him was opened instantly, and before Su Lijin had time to dodge, she was dragged into the room by her arms.

Then, the door was slammed shut.

"Oh it's you."

After seeing that it was Su Lijin, the killing intent on Guo Tang's face became a little less.

Su Lijin felt strange at first, until she followed Guo Tang's gaze and looked forward.

The person who talked to him just now was actually Xiao Shengyong? !
