Shen Lian followed Bai Yanguan into the study. He closed the door to block the biting cold wind outside.

After taking a sip of tea, he put down the cup, looked at Shen Lian, and asked, "Is everything going well on the front line?"

Shen Lian said with a smile: "I am relieved to be back. Does Mr. Bai think there will be any accidents?"

Bai Yanguan thought for a while, then nodded with a smile: "That's right, Mr. Shen is very smart. If the battle situation is dangerous, you will not be able to come back with peace of mind."

"So, Master Shen has finished all the things he wanted to do in Nanzhao?"

Bai Yanguan knew that Shen Lian followed the alliance army to Nanzhao for some special things.

Shen Lian nodded slightly and said, "It's done."

"In Nanzhao, I found out a lot of Beidou Society's secrets. I also had a duel with Beichen in Nanzhao and destroyed an important stronghold of Beidou Society in Nanzhao. So, the result is quite satisfactory."

Official Bai Yan knew that these things were considered secrets.

So he didn't ask in detail, so as not to embarrass Shen Lian.

He nodded and said: "It's good if it's successful. It would be better if you can come back safely from this trip."

Shen Lian gently rubbed the teacup with his fingers and said, "I returned safely, but Master Bai is not too well."

Bai Yanguan's hands paused slightly, he held the tea cup and said, "I was impulsive."

Shen Lian glanced at Bai Yanguan and said directly: "Master Bai, I have investigated your case clearly."

Bai Yanguan's whole body trembled, and he seemed a little afraid to hear the final result.

Then, he saw Bai Yanguan looking at him and saying word by word: "You are unjust, Zhou Qin, you were not the one to kill."

"You were framed!"

Brush it up!

At this moment, Shen Lian clearly saw that Bai Yanguan's dark and turbid eyes suddenly burst out with a light called innocence.

Then, this old man who had been responsible for justice in the world for decades suddenly burst into tears.

At this moment, Shen Lian had indescribable complex feelings in his heart.

He didn't know whether he should be happy for Bai Yanguan or sad.

An old man, an old man who had never shed a tear in his whole life, was now in tears because of the word "innocent".

Bai Yanguan is the person who fights against Mr. Li.

In the Tang Dynasty, people, even civil servants, had to carry swords on the battlefield.

Therefore, Bai Yanguan also went to the battlefield.

He was also seriously injured.

But even though he suffered the pain of almost dying, he never shed a single tear.

And now... Bai Yanguan, who has lived for most of his life and has experienced all kinds of painful experiences and has wisdom in life, is bursting into tears at this moment.

This really made Shen Lian feel very uncomfortable.

Shen Lian looked at Bai Yanguan. At this moment, he seemed to understand the meaning of the truth more and more.

Peel away the cocoon and find the truth.

Clear the wronged person, bring justice to the dead, and send the criminal to prison.

This is the true meaning of the existence of Dali Temple!

Bai Yanguan took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Seeing Shen Lian looking at him, he smiled and shook his head and said: "As people get older, somehow their hearts become softer. Just now Accidentally, I made a joke out of you."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "It's Mr. Bai who has been wronged."

Bai Yanguan shook his head and said: "I am not wronged because I really feel that I killed someone."

He thought about it and was about to ask something, but fell silent again and said, "Although I really want to know the truth, I understand the rules."

"As a participant in the case, I should not ask too many questions before the trial. That is against the rules."

Shen Lian said: "I don't care about that. Lord Bai wants to know. I can tell Lord Bai in detail."

Bai Yanguan shook his head and said: "You are already the Minister of Dali Temple, and Dali Temple, as the final judge of the Tang Dynasty's prison cases, must have firm principles."

"I don't want you to break the rules because of me."

"Besides, knowing that I was wrongly accused and that I am not the murderer can already put my mind at ease."

"It's just a matter of waiting a few more days to find out the truth. I can afford to wait."

Shen Lian knew Bai Yanguan's temperament.

Bai Yanguan has the kind of temperament that once he makes a decision, eight horses can't pull him back.

When Shen Lian saw this, he said nothing more.

Since Bai Yanguan is willing to wait, he has no choice but to stick to the so-called rules.

Bai Yanguan untied the knot in his heart, and his whole face became much rosier.

There are also more smiles on his face.

I saw him pick up the tea cup and take another sip of hot water, and his whole body felt even warmer.

He looked at Shen Lian and asked, "When did you come back?"

Shen Lian said: "It's been a few days."

"You came back specifically for my case?" Bai Yanguan asked again.

Shen Lian smiled and said: "The matter in Nanzhao has been resolved. I was planning to come back. But I heard about Master Bai's case in Yangzhou City, so I rushed back quickly. This did not delay my business. Bai Don't worry, adults."

Bai Yanguan was relieved when he heard that Shen Lian was not really delayed.

What he dislikes the most in his life is causing trouble to other people, even Shen Lian, he doesn't want to cause trouble to Shen Lian.

Bai Yanguan said: "Will the trip to Nanzhao go smoothly?"

"It went smoothly. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, everything that should be done was done."

Bai Yanguan nodded and said: "I've done everything I wanted to do, so that's good. Nothing in life goes smoothly. As long as the result is good, that's good."

He saw Shen Lian looking at him, and based on his understanding of Qin Wenyuan, he knew that Shen Lian must have something to ask.

He smiled and said, "Just ask whatever you want. I will tell you everything I know."

Shen Lian chuckled and said, "Master Bai is really powerful, he knows everything."

Bai Yanguan rolled his eyes: "Is this how the words are used?"

Shen Lian smiled and then said: "Master Bai, were you working on an old case before the incident occurred?"

Bai Yanguan looked at Shen Lian in surprise and said, "How do you know?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Of course it's an inference."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bai Yanguan's heart moved.

He knew that Shen Lian would never do such meaningless things unless necessary.

Therefore, since Shen Lian asked, it can only explain one thing...

His eyes flickered and he looked directly at Shen Lian and asked: "Is my case related to that old case?"

Shen Lian nodded directly, without hiding anything from Bai Yanguan, and said: "It's related."

Just these two words are enough for Bai Yanguan to think about many things.

Bai Yanguan worked as a minister in Dali Temple for many years, and later became a minister in the Ministry of Punishment. It can be said that no one has seen more weird things in this world.

He has seen too many conspiracies and cases caused by various reasons.

Therefore, he knows far better than ordinary people what causes some people to take risks.

What was originally puzzling was immediately awakened by Shen Lian's words at this moment.

He said: "So that's how it is. I'll tell you why it's such a coincidence."

"It turns out that I was really plotted."

Shen Lian looked at Bai Yanguan and asked, "Did Mr. Bai make any new discoveries about the case back then?"

Bai Yanguan let out a breath.

There was a trace of memory in his eyes, and he said: "That was a case ten years ago."

"When that case happened, I was still the Minister of Dali Temple."

"The loss of military pay almost caused a mutiny in the army. Fortunately, His Majesty scraped together things and the Ministry of Household Affairs was frugal, so it was difficult to come up with the same money to make up for the shortfall of the soldiers."

"Otherwise, Datang will be really in danger at that time."

"You must know that not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, internal and external troubles were very serious. Any mutiny in the army would definitely cause huge changes."

"At that time, once external enemies come and some Xiaoxiao rebel internally, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be in danger!"

"Therefore, Your Majesty is extremely angry. In His Majesty's opinion, this is simply a crime of treason."
