"Where's the witness?" Ye Qiu laughed lightly. Where is the evidence?"
"Your Excellency, when General Shi Siming and I arrived at the defense line of the Great Wall, we saw that bastard Su Lie and the Hu people slaughtering the people of the Tang Empire.”
"General Shi Siming and I fought to the death and finally drove the Hu and the Demon Seeds out of the Great Wall, saving some civilians.”
"These commoners can testify for me!”
"Also, General Shi Siming and I found the secret letters between Su Lie and the Hu people in the Great Wall. These can prove that Su Lie has betrayed the country!”
"Those commoners are outside the hall.”
As he spoke, Lu Jianjun took out a few letters from his chest pocket and presented them.
"Sir, this is the letter between Su Lie and the Hu.”
"You bastard, you really put in a lot of effort to frame us!”
Hua Mulan, who was at the side, could not hold it in anymore. Just as she was about to pounce on him, she was pulled back by Jialuo, who was beside her.
Jialuo shook his head at her, hinting her not to act rashly.
Ye Qiu took the letter and handed it to Shangguan Wan 'er.
After reading it carefully, Shangguan Wan 'er said,"Sir, it is indeed Su Lie's handwriting. I have seen Su Lie's official documents, so I recognize it.”
"As for the content, it is the same as what Lu Jianjun said. Su Lie communicated with the Prince of the Hu Kingdom and plotted to split the Tang Empire.”
"But…"
"But what?" Ye Qiu asked.
"There are many capable people in the world. It is not difficult to imitate a person's handwriting, so the letter cannot be used as absolute evidence.”
"Then call the witness."
The bailiff shouted,"The witness is summoned to the court…"
Soon, three commoners in plain clothes walked into the hall. After kneeling down and greeting them, Ye Qiu asked,"What are your names?"
"I'm Zhang Ah Niu."
"I'm Liu Ergou."
"I am Chen Si."
"Did you see Su Lie collude with the Hu to slaughter the people of the Great Tang?”
"I saw it, I saw it."
"A large group of Hu and demons suddenly appeared in the city that day. They killed anyone they saw. The younger ones quickly hid in a dry well and avoided the disaster.”
"Later, I saw Su Lie and this woman attack the other Great Wall Guards and join the Hu in massacring the people of the Great Tang.”
"If it wasn't for General Shi and Lu Jianjun leading the army here, we would have died in the hands of this bastard!”
Hearing these words and looking at the letter in her hand, Shangguan Wan 'er was a little confused.
Could it be that he had guessed wrongly?
Had Su Lie really betrayed the Great Tang?
Pei Qinhu and the others were also stunned.
How could this be?
In this way, wouldn't his injustice be confirmed?
For a moment, everyone felt a sense of despair.
The other party's thoughts were so meticulous and his arrangements were so thorough. How could he wash away his grievances?
Lu Jianjun smiled.
The witness and material evidence were all there, so what if the imperial envoy arrived?
Su Lie, what do you have to fight me?
Pa!
The sound of gavel interrupted Lu Jianjun's thoughts.
"You still dare to frame me?" Ye Qiu shouted coldly.”
"Lu Youqing! Do you know your sins?"
Lu Jianjun was slightly stunned." Sir, the witness and material evidence are here. The truth has been revealed. What crime have I committed?"”
"Witnesses and material evidence?" Ye Qiu sneered. Then I'll show you my evidence.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome man in a white robe walked in slowly.
When this person appeared, everyone except Ye Qiu was stunned.
"Li Bai?"
Su Lie was dumbfounded. Why was this guy here?
"Su Lie, you didn't expect me to come, did you?" Li Bai chuckled. Burp…"
After burping, Li Bai cupped his hands and said,""Lord Ye, I've already investigated the matter you instructed me.”
Why was Ye Qiu so late?
He was actually waiting for news from Li Bai!
The day after he decided to go to the Great Wall to find out the truth, Ye Qiu found Li Bai in Chang 'an and told him about Su Lie.
Li Bai and Su Lie were good friends. However, Su Lie's case was submitted in a secret letter, so Li Bai had never known about it.
After learning about Su Lie, Li Bai immediately decided to prove Su Lie's innocence.
The two of them carefully analyzed the report from the Ministry of War and found a few flaws in the evidence chain.
However, the fact that Ye Qiu was an imperial envoy could not be hidden at all. As long as he appeared at the Great Wall, he would attract the other party's attention.
No matter what he investigated here, he would encounter all kinds of resistance.
Therefore, he could only leave the task of finding evidence to Li Bai.
He would set off after he received news from Li Bai.
Along with Li Bai, there were also people from the Supreme Court.
Li Bai pointed at the three witnesses and said,""Zhang Ah Niu, his real name is Zhang Sheng. He's from Lu Prefecture's Ji Ning Village.”
"Liu Ergou, his real name is Liu Feng. He's from Anxi Village in Chengzhou.”
"Chen Si, his real name is Chen Ning. Like Liu Feng, they are both from Anxi Village.”
"None of them are citizens of the Great Wall!”
"Lord Ye, these three witnesses were bribed. What they said is all lies!”
"Li Bai has already brought the village chiefs of these two villages.”
Upon hearing this, the three witnesses immediately collapsed to the ground, their faces pale…
