Chapter 12: Husband and wife fight



Wei Shu wanted to say something else, but Xiao Zhaolin didn't give her a chance to speak again and just turned and left.

I think Wei Shu has been warned, and she will be well-behaved for a while.

Because she was worried about the re-opening of the corruption case, Su Lijin pretended to be sick and stayed in Kunning Palace.

She clearly remembered that in her previous life, Guo Tang still had a chance to be redressed, but because of that useless lawyer, he was defeated in the end.

So this time, I have to do it myself.

On this day, Su Lijin, disguised as a man, left the palace through a secret passage and headed straight for the Dali Temple.

She wants to find Guo Tang's original lawyer and successfully replace him.

At this time, the lawyer was drinking and eating meat with his friends. When he heard someone said they were looking for him, he said proudly.

"See, I told you that if I became the Shangshu's lawyer, I would be loved even if I didn't hold an official position. I think you're using money to thank me."

When Zhuang Shi saw Su Lijin, he bowed and said, "It is my duty to redress the injustice done to Minister Guo. There is no need to give me any money." As he spoke, he looked behind Su Lijin.

Su Lijin smiled slightly and said, "I think Attorney Liu made a mistake. I'm afraid that Attorney Liu can't help with Minister Guo's case now, so I came here specifically to ask you to give it to me." Although she said it was a plea, Su Lijin's tone meant that the person passing the case would not be refused.

The lawyer hadn't expected Su Lijin to come and ruin his business, and quickly retorted, "What did you say? Why should I listen to you just because you told me not to intervene? In this case, I'm already Guo Tang's lawyer!"

"How much do you know about this case? What crime has Minister Guo committed? I'm afraid you have no idea."

Hearing Su Lijin say this, the lawyer broke out in a cold sweat, but he really didn't know. He just wanted to make a fortune because the people donated so much money to this Shangshu.

"Now that Minister Guo is implicated in a corruption case, ordinary people would avoid it. Only those who are completely unaware and those who can truly support Minister Guo are willing to take on this responsibility. I'm willing to give it a try, what about you?"

Su Lijin's aura was obviously much stronger than that of the lawyer.

"I, I..." The warrior's tone was obviously not as strong as before, and his body was even shaking slightly.

"From what I know, any case you represent will fail. I advise you not to harm others if you don't have the ability."

The original lawyer was hit in a sore spot and was speechless. He left the money and documents that the people deserved and left in disgrace.

In this way, Su Lijin successfully became Guo Tang's lawyer.

She returned the money to the people and took the diploma to find the guards.

As expected, she was led by the guards of the Heavenly Prison and once again came to the place where Guo Tang was imprisoned.

"Master Guo, I..."

Before Su Lijin finished speaking, Guo Tang recognized the person standing in front of him after hearing her voice.

Glancing at the guard who had already left, Guo Tang interrupted her directly.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Su Lijin knew that time was short, so she didn't hesitate and said directly, "I came here this time to ask you about the details of the corruption case."

"The emperor has reopened the corruption case, but it's a bit suspicious. I'm still a little worried, so I came to ask you."

Guo Tang thought for a moment, then said, "I was framed in this matter, and the person behind it hasn't revealed a single clue. I only hope that my death can reveal some information about the person behind the scenes. It will also serve the country and the people."

Guo Tangyuan thought that he would die this time, but he didn't expect that there would be a ray of hope and he would not die.

"However, I do have an account book in my mansion. Finding it might be of great help in this matter."

"Okay, just be patient for a few more days, and I will definitely take you out."

Su Lijin made the promise with a serious look on her face, then stood up and left.

Guo Tang looked at her hurried back, pursed his lips helplessly and murmured: "Little girl, you have the demeanor of your father in his youth."

Without further ado, she ventured directly to Guo's house.

Looking at the dilapidated gate in front of her, Su Lijin felt a little emotional. She pursed her thin lips, sighed slightly, and then pushed open the door in front of her.

Her first thought was to look for it in the study.

Things like account books are usually kept in the study, or in a secret compartment.

Su Lijin searched all the way to the study, but found that the door in front of her was ajar.

Frowning warily, she wondered if someone had been here before.

Is that account book still there?

Thinking of this, Su Lijin tiptoed to the door of the study.

Just when she was about to quietly take a closer look at what was going on inside, a book was suddenly thrown in front of her from inside the house.

Su Lijin frowned and quickly dodged the book in front of her by turning sideways.

Then a man in black clothes with his face covered ran out of the study.

When their eyes met, Su Lijin realized that someone must have also found out about the account book.

No matter what, he can't be allowed to leave.

Maybe the account book is right in the person in front of you.

Thinking of this, Su Lijin suddenly rushed towards the person in front of her. She exerted force on her feet and flew up, kicking the man in the body.

Xiao Shengxing raised his hand and used his arm to block Su Lijin's attack, then took two steps back.

He had just learned about the account book.

Because I feel that this matter involves too many people and is of great importance, I am not willing to hand it over to others.
