He also has a connection to a scandal where it is said that he sold the same piece of land to two different people.
That (false) story only spreads if you yourself convince Dace and Helmi of it. Or another (false) scandal can occur if you betray Harrowmont after winning the Proving and plant evidence of Harrowmont's cousin's involvement with the carta. There don't actually appear to be any legimate scandals for you to expose (either he doesn't have them or can clean them up effectively) so Bhelen's side has to invent them.
And you can prove Bhelen killed his brothers if you betray Bhelen and find actual non-planted letters instructing the carta to murder Trian and thus framing the DN. He certainly can be shown to be far more corrupt than Harrowmont does although whether Harrowmont is actually honorable or just has years more experience cleaning up his image is up for debate.
All you have to do is show the piece of paper, there really isn't any convincing you need to do. They recognize the signatures on the paper. I do want to know how you can confirm that what is written on the paper is false. Otherwise it's all hearsay.
If you take the 'Harrowmont is cheating you' documents to the Shaper he says that deals were made with both Houses but Vartag altered the terms of the deal so that it looked like the same land was being given and it wasn't. Since the deal was made and approved by him he would know and has records. That Helmi didn't authenticate it was because he was just so disgusted and disillusioned at this point he didn't care. That Lord Dace didn't was likely because he expected his daughter to before sending you to the Deep Roads after him. That Lady Dace didn't...well, that was really stupid of her.
You can't get the proof of Harrowmont's ties to the carta or Bhelen ordering Trian's death authenticated, of course, but planting evidence pretty much automatically implies that it isn't true and why would the carta just happen to have fabricated proof that Bhelen committed fratricide lying about? They couldn't even have planted it as Jarvia clearly isn't pro-Harrowmont and until she's dead you can't really sneak documents into her personal 'important documents' chest.
It did not seem to help his chances either if he was trying to send a message as no pro-bhelen supporters I talked to mention the incident whatsoever. Oh well, no one cares about the guard anyway.
I think it comes down to that. The guard is pretty low in the warrior caste or he'd be off winning glory in the Deep Roads or in the Provings not policing the streets so no one really cares that he died. Bhelen's supporter, on the other hand, was probably more high-profile since he was standing right next to the prince.
