The rest was up to Nanhai. If she still believed that Lu Zhao was Xiu-Er's killer, then she had nothing to say.
After Zhining left the room, Nanhai slowly opened his eyes, looking at the open door, deep in thought in the darkness.
She secretly blamed herself for overestimating the Southern Sea. The former her thought that the Southern Sea had a righteous heart beneath its outward appearance, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Emperor to appoint him as a patrolling officer. However, she didn't think that the Southern Ocean wouldn't redress Lu Zhao's grievances in order to protect her teacher's reputation.
When Zhining entered the room, Sihan and Bing'er could see from the disappointed look on her face that the Chief Patrol Officer wouldn't be promoted to the next level for Lu Zhao.
Bing'er, seeing how Zhining was fuming, poured a cup of tea for her and placed it in front of her, comforting her, "Have a cup of tea and calm down. Since the Chief Patrol Officer isn't willing to reverse the case for Lu Zhao, we can think of another way."
ZhiNing unhappily pushed the cup of tea to the side, "How would I be in the mood to drink tea!?" "Grandma Lu has already pleaded with all the officials in the capital city, but none of them were willing to reverse the case for Lu Zhao."
"Ai!" Bing'er heaved a deep sigh. What Zhining said was right, Grandma Lu had already begged every single official in the capital to reverse the case, but none of them were willing to do so. Moreover, Lu Zhao had already admitted his guilt, and even more so, no one was willing to reverse the case for him.
"Not necessarily. Last time, there wasn't any evidence that could prove Lu Zhao's innocence. Of course, no one would be willing to defend Lu Zhao. After all, who would be willing to offend a Board of Justice president for a case where there wasn't any evidence to prove their innocence?"
But now it's different. We have a large amount of evidence in our hands to prove that Lu Zhao is innocent. "I don't believe that there is a single official in the capital who is not afraid of offending the Minister!" Sihan stood up from her chair and said to Zhining and Bing'er with a determined look.
Sihan's words caused Zhining and Bing'er to look up at her at the same time. They believed that they would be able to find a powerful official in the capital who would be willing to overturn the case for Lu Zhao. Suddenly, a thought flashed across Bing'er's mind. She looked excitedly at Zhining and Sihan, "I think we don't need to look for the officials to overturn the case for Lu Zhao. We just need to blow the whistle and force the yamen to reopen the case against Lu Zhao."
Sihan also looked excitedly at Zhining, "That's right, why didn't we think of that!?"
Zhining stood up from her chair and paced back and forth in the room, "We can call the shots, but we must find a clean and honest official named Levi to wash the charges, and this official's position must be even higher than that of the Board of Justice!"
"Then, shouldn't we look for the patron master?" Bing'er pouted and said, going back and forth until she got back to her original spot. The Chief Patrol Officer wasn't willing to reverse the case for Lu Zhao.
"We don't necessarily have to look for Sir Patrol Officer. We can also look for the President of the Board of Justice, Master Shuquan, to try Lu Zhao's case again, just like last time when we ordered Lord Qi to clear Zhan Fengyang of the charges outside the western suburbs. This way, we won't be able to offend Lord Shu, but we can also get Lu Zhao to clear his case and bring the real culprits to justice." "Three birds with one stone." Sihan looked at the figure walking back and forth in ZhiNing's arms and slowly said.
She had no choice but to admit that Sihan's words were reasonable. Since Nanhai wasn't willing to reverse the case for Lu Zhao, they could only ask Senior Shang to reopen the case against Lu Zhao.
The next day.
The weather was clear and clear. There were a few white clouds hanging in the blue sky. The warm sunlight made the land feel warm. It was already close to the appointed time. The street which was initially deserted was gradually filled with people coming and going, bustling with noise and excitement.
In the distance, several noble carriages were rapidly approaching from the other side of the street.
An elderly woman and a young man in clean clothes were standing at the edge of the street. Both of them looked at the carriage that was speeding over.
When the carriage was about to approach them, the young man looked at a youth that was dressed in bright clothes. The youth extended his index and middle fingers.
The young man immediately understood. He also extended his index and middle fingers towards the young man and made an OK gesture, indicating that he understood the young man's meaning.
Then, the man turned his head towards the old woman who was standing beside him and said, "Grandma Lu, the second carriage is the carriage of the President of the Ministry of Justice. Are you ready?"
Old Mrs Lu nodded at the man, "I'm ready."
The man was worried and reminded Grandma Lu again, "You have to be careful."
Grandma Lu gently patted the back of his hand. "Don't worry."
After the first carriage passed by them, Grandma Lu stood at the edge of the street, waiting for the arrival of the Minister of Justice's Patriarch's carriage.
The young man had been standing beside Grandma Lu. This man was Bing-Er, who had changed back into a man's outfit. He had a fake mole the size of a fingernail on his chin. No one could tell that she was the young maid who washed the clothes in the Prime Minister's Residence.
Seeing the carriage speeding over from the opposite direction, and almost at the same time arriving in front of Grandma Lu and Bing'er, Bing'er said to her, "Go!"
After listening to Bing'er's order, Grandma Lu took a few steps forward, ran to the middle of the street, and kneeled on the ground, shouting loudly, "My son is wronged, I beg the lord to avenge my son!" After finishing her sentence, she lifted her head and looked at the carriage that was speeding towards her without the slightest fear.
Bing'er could not help but look nervously at Grandma Lu, fearing that the boy who was driving the carriage would not be able to pull the reins in time and injure her.
The servant who was driving the carriage saw a figure suddenly appear in front of the carriage. He quickly pulled on the reins and angrily asked Grandma Lu, "Get lost, do you want to die? He even dared to intercept Lord Shang Shu's carriage! "
Grandma Lu ignored the angry eyes of the carriage boy. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the carriage a few times, while begging the Minister, "Sir, my son has been wrongly accused. I beg the Lord to avenge my son."
The people on both sides of the street all stopped to look at Grandma Lu and Lord Shang Shu's carriage. Even the high ranking officials' carriage behind Lord Shang Shu's carriage and the guards who were riding on horseback and guarding Lord Shang Shu's safety had all stopped to look at Lord Shang Shu's carriage.
"Milord, my son was wrongly accused. I beg you, milord, to avenge my son." The old woman constantly kowtowed towards the Minister who was in the carriage.
The attendant pulled open the carriage door and reported to the Minister, "Sir, an old woman is standing in front of the carriage, begging for the lord to avenge her son."
