The Framed Warrior

Pierce Vance, Top Military Scholar, is accused by a beggar of stealing his policy treatise. The beggar details how I supposedly spied on it. A minister denounces me, and officials agree. The emperor questions my treatment of the beggar; I clarify attendants drove him away. A eunuch presents a treatise draft in handwriting similar to mine. The beggar demands a debate. This false accusation must have flaws. I intend to use logic to expose contradictions and restore my innocence.
