00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:36,140
from Lu Feilong.
382
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,230
According to the loan receipt,
383
00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:39,980
it's 9 out and 13 in
384
00:20:39,980 --> 00:20:41,380
over cycles of three months each.
385
00:20:41,550 --> 00:20:42,670
By now, he owes
386
00:20:42,670 --> 00:20:45,100
18 taels, 7 mace, and 2 fen.
387
00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:46,580
16 taels and 9 mace.
388
00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:54,900
What did you say?
389
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,380
The principal balance was 10 taels of gold.
390
00:21:00,380 --> 00:21:01,670
If we take 9 out and 13 in, after 2 cycles,
391
00:21:01,670 --> 00:21:03,340
the debtor should pay 16 taels and 9 mace.
392
00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:07,260
That's how we usually do the calculations.
393
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:08,420
Who knows
394
00:21:08,420 --> 00:21:09,460
what this rascal is up to.
395
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,030
You are the accused
396
00:21:15,030 --> 00:21:16,180
in another case.
397
00:21:16,180 --> 00:21:17,690
Don't make noise here.
398
00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:18,600
I'm not.
399
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,420
He made a mistake.
400
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,580
If we take 9 out and 13 in for a principal balance of 10 taels,
401
00:21:21,580 --> 00:21:22,990
the debtor should pay 13 taels after the first cycle.
402
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:24,220
It's a 30% profit.
403
00:21:24,220 --> 00:21:25,560
He should pay back the 13 taels,
404
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,420
plus another 30%, in the second cycle.
405
00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:27,460
That's 16 taels and 9 mace.
406
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,700
Do you know what “9 out” means?
407
00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:35,340
“9 out” means
408
00:21:35,340 --> 00:21:36,870
Chen Dashan borrows 10 taels of silver,
409
00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:38,550
receives 9 taels,
410
00:21:38,550 --> 00:21:39,660
and returns 13 taels per cycle.
411
00:21:39,660 --> 00:21:40,630
That's a 44% profit.
412
00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:41,740
After 2 cycles,
413
00:21:41,740 --> 00:21:43,300
he should pay 18 taels, 7 mace, and 2 fen.
414
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:44,420
What's wrong with that?
415
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,480
You calculated it
416
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,260
using 9 taels as the principal balance.
417
00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:46,910
According to the contract,
418
00:21:46,910 --> 00:21:48,540
the principal balance should be 10 taels.
419
00:21:53,950 --> 00:21:54,780
Magistrate Fang.
420
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:56,230
According to the Great Ming Code,
421
00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:57,740
irrelevant persons are not allowed
422
00:21:57,740 --> 00:21:59,260
to interfere during trials.
423
00:21:59,260 --> 00:22:00,830
This person
424
00:22:00,830 --> 00:22:02,260
might be talking nonsense here
425
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,590
to take revenge for a private dispute.
426
00:22:04,590 --> 00:22:06,180
Please uphold justice.
427
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,660
That makes sense.
428
00:22:07,870 --> 00:22:09,460
Stop talking.
429
00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:10,480
It's not your turn yet.
430
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,160
Go away.
431
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,430
But the numbers are wrong.
432
00:22:12,430 --> 00:22:13,900
-It'll be the same no matter who calculates it. -Go away.
433
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:14,900
Stop talking.
434
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:20,860
Go on.
435
00:22:20,860 --> 00:22:21,540
Chen Dashan.
436
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,140
You love your wife so much,
437
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,420
you spared no effort, and even took out a loan,
438
00:22:24,420 --> 00:22:26,440
to pay her medical bills.
439
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:26,980
Right?
440
00:22:26,980 --> 00:22:27,450
Yes.
441
00:22:27,790 --> 00:22:30,060
Now that Lu Feilong is forcing you to pay off your debt,
442
00:22:30,060 --> 00:22:31,020
and you can't do it,
443
00:22:31,020 --> 00:22:32,500
he's asking you to sell your land, right?
444
00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:33,190
Yes.
445
00:22:33,190 --> 00:22:34,380
Then, I'm curious.
446
00:22:34,380 --> 00:22:35,830
You clearly have land.
447
00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:36,820
Why didn't you sell the land
448
00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:38,670
to treat her?
449
00:22:38,670 --> 00:22:39,910
Why did you
450
00:22:39,910 --> 00:22:41,790
borrow money from Lu Feilong instead?
451
00:22:41,790 --> 00:22:42,420
This...
452
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:43,580
Chen Dashan,
453
00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:45,600
do you think that having borrowed money,
454
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,040
you only have to make a fuss
455
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,550
and the debt will be cancelled?
456
00:22:48,550 --> 00:22:49,260
No.
457
00:22:49,260 --> 00:22:50,420
How could you say that about my father?
458
00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:52,140
Chen Xiaozhi, right?
459
00:22:52,590 --> 00:22:53,820
I heard
460
00:22:55,070 --> 00:22:57,490
Lu Feilong forced your father to sell you
461
00:22:57,630 --> 00:22:59,420
to repay the debt, right?
462
00:23:00,110 --> 00:23:00,580
Yes.
463
00:23:01,270 --> 00:23:01,990
Lu Feilong
464
00:23:01,990 --> 00:23:03,260
gave you two choices.
465
00:23:03,260 --> 00:23:04,910
One was selling land to repay the debt,
466
00:23:04,910 --> 00:23:06,620
and the other was selling his daughter to repay the debt.
467
00:23:06,620 --> 00:23:07,540
Am I right?
468
00:23:08,190 --> 00:23:08,630
Yes.
469
00:23:08,630 --> 00:23:09,780
You hesitated.
470
00:23:10,030 --> 00:23:11,980
You've been in a dilemma for a long time, right?
471
00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:13,500
No.
472
00:23:14,630 --> 00:23:15,700
If it were me,
473
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:16,670
watching my beloved daughter
474
00:23:16,670 --> 00:23:17,580
about to get sold,
475
00:23:17,580 --> 00:23:18,380
I would sell the land
476
00:23:18,380 --> 00:23:19,260
without hesitation
477
00:23:19,260 --> 00:23:20,540
to protect my family.
478
00:23:20,540 --> 00:23:21,860
How could I hesitate?
479
00:23:21,860 --> 00:23:22,620
You are in a dilemma
480
00:23:22,620 --> 00:23:23,740
because deep down,
481
00:23:23,740 --> 00:23:24,940
it's not that you cannot accept selling your daughter,
482
00:23:24,940 --> 00:23:25,950
but that the price
483
00:23:25,950 --> 00:23:27,620
is not reasonable.
484
00:23:27,870 --> 00:23:29,620
It's not like that.
485
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,860
The Great Ming Code
486
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,220
prohibits
487
00:23:34,220 --> 00:23:36,710
human trafficking.
488
00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:38,700
I'm not forcing him to sell his daughter.
489
00:23:39,190 --> 00:23:40,060
I just want everyone
490
00:23:40,060 --> 00:23:41,230
to see clearly
491
00:23:41,230 --> 00:23:42,460
how a rich landowner
492
00:23:42,460 --> 00:23:43,860
like him
493
00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:44,940
is hesitating between selling his land
494
00:23:44,940 --> 00:23:46,940
and selling his daughter.
495
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:48,800
Where is his conscience?
496
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,310
His lover was sick, so he borrowed money.
497
00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:51,820
He borrowed money, but wanted to default on the loan.
498
00:23:51,820 --> 00:23:52,950
He couldn't default on the loan,
499
00:23:52,950 --> 00:23:55,310
so he assaulted the creditor.
500
00:23:55,310 --> 00:23:56,420
Is this kind of person
501
00:23:56,420 --> 00:23:58,060
worth our sympathy?
502
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,660
He's desperate because of the loanshark!
503
00:24:02,150 --> 00:24:04,060
Lu Feilong is not a good man!
504
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:06,740
I-
505
00:24:07,030 --> 00:24:07,900
I-
506
00:24:08,710 --> 00:24:10,220
I'll sell the land.
507
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,020
Magistrate Fang,
508
00:24:12,270 --> 00:24:13,380
the case can be closed.
509
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:17,780
Then...
510
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,300
the case is closed.
511
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:20,420
Chen Dashan.
512
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:21,980
Effective today,
513
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,060
you will mortgage your 5 mu of paddy fields
514
00:24:25,060 --> 00:24:26,580
to Lu Feilong.
515
00:24:26,580 --> 00:24:27,700
The Revenue Office
516
00:24:27,790 --> 00:24:30,480
[Letter of Acceptance]
517
00:24:27,990 --> 00:24:30,460
will verify the exact amount
518
00:24:30,460 --> 00:24:31,580
to be paid back in full.
519
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,820
Both parties have signed the letter of acceptance.
520
00:24:33,820 --> 00:24:35,480
Okay.
521
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,540
I think
522
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,230
he won't be able to live with himself
523
00:24:38,230 --> 00:24:39,500
if he sold his daughter despite having land.
524
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:46,660
Cheng Renqing,
525
00:24:48,150 --> 00:24:49,580
if I didn't have work to do today,
526
00:24:49,580 --> 00:24:50,700
-I— -Magistrate Fang.
527
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:52,780
I've heard that you're a scholar of Huang-Lao philosophy.
528
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:54,510
You believe in inactive governance,
529
00:24:54,510 --> 00:24:55,370
and don't like to meddle.
530
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,080
I'm doing this
531
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,900
to help you.
532
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,420
Let's move on to the next case.
533
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,340
It's Lu Feilong!
534
00:25:05,340 --> 00:25:06,430
We won,
535
00:25:06,430 --> 00:25:07,300
but he didn't let us cash in,
536
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:08,150
saying that we cheated.
537
00:25:08,150 --> 00:25:08,680
Why shouldn't we cash in
538
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,740
on the money we won
539
00:25:09,740 --> 00:25:11,180
through lawful means?
540
00:25:11,470 --> 00:25:12,740
Lawful means?
541
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,460
What are they?
542
00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:15,340
Tell me.
543
00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:16,660
Shuai.
544
00:25:16,990 --> 00:25:17,820
Go ahead.
545
00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:20,260
There are 32 cards in Paigow,
546
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,410
plus two dices.
547
00:25:21,630 --> 00:25:22,660
The points are different on each.
548
00:25:22,660 --> 00:25:23,310
As long as we calculate
549
00:25:23,310 --> 00:25:24,390
the appearance of each point,
550
00:25:24,390 --> 00:25:25,190
we can be confident of winning.
551
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:26,180
That means
552
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,300
you are skilled at card-counting.
553
00:25:26,550 --> 00:25:28,230
[Jin'an Prefecture]
554
00:25:28,750 --> 00:25:30,980
You win 9 out of 10 times in Paigow, right?
555
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,150
Yes.
556
00:25:32,150 --> 00:25:33,310
Arithmetic is simple and honest by nature,
557
00:25:33,310 --> 00:25:34,430
it is accurate no matter where one is.
558
00:25:34,430 --> 00:25:35,320
As long as one grasps
559
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,100
the principles within,
560
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:37,460
it is the same everywhere.

Feng Baoyu.
562
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,860
A student from Renhua County School?
563
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:45,700
Yes.
564
00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:47,020
How can you gamble
565
00:25:47,020 --> 00:25:49,220
when you have so much schoolwork?
566
00:25:52,390 --> 00:25:53,540
None of your business.
567
00:25:53,540 --> 00:25:54,180
Magistrate Fang,
568
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,480
the court allocates
569
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,790
so much money and food
570
00:25:56,790 --> 00:25:58,150
to subsidize
571
00:25:58,150 --> 00:25:59,100
prefecture and county schools
572
00:25:59,390 --> 00:26:02,060
in order to right the mores and dignify people's hearts,
573
00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:03,980
and so that scholars can study in peace
574
00:26:03,980 --> 00:26:05,940
and repay the court's imperial grace in the future.
575
00:26:06,350 --> 00:26:08,050
But this playboy
576
00:26:08,270 --> 00:26:09,760
doesn't want to study.
577
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,180
Instead, he wanders around gambling houses
578
00:26:11,180 --> 00:26:12,590
and indulges in arithmetic.
579
00:26:12,590 --> 00:26:13,800
Baoyu doesn't like arithmetic.
580
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,900
He only likes gambling.
581
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,260
He's really lost his way.
582
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:22,100
You-
583
00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:23,180
Even if he has
584
00:26:23,180 --> 00:26:24,660
lost his way,
585
00:26:24,660 --> 00:26:26,390
he has his parents to discipline him.
586
00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:26,940
That's right.
587
00:26:26,940 --> 00:26:27,620
Let's continue.
588
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:28,900
Magistrate Fang.
589
00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:31,030
Didn't you hear it just now?
590
00:26:31,030 --> 00:26:32,780
Shuai said
591
00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:34,300
this method is very simple.
592
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:36,300
Anyone can learn it.
593
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:38,380
If you judge in their favor,
594
00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:39,840
what would happen next?
595
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,320
All the students of Renhua County School,
596
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,670
and even Jin'an Prefecture School,
597
00:26:42,670 --> 00:26:44,940
would know of it.
598
00:26:44,940 --> 00:26:46,620
As long as one masters this method,
599
00:26:46,620 --> 00:26:47,660
even a playboy like him
600
00:26:47,660 --> 00:26:49,140
can win so much money
601
00:26:49,140 --> 00:26:51,220
in the gambling house.
602
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:52,240
Of course
603
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,470
everyone would want to learn it.
604
00:26:53,470 --> 00:26:56,820
Who would still want to study then?
605
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,860
That's right.
606
00:26:58,860 --> 00:26:59,860
Yes.
607
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,620
If restrictions are not placed on gambling houses,
608
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:02,790
and these students
609
00:27:02,790 --> 00:27:03,910
are allowed to gamble as they wish,
610
00:27:03,910 --> 00:27:05,280
no one in Jin'an
611
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,140
would study hard ever again.
612
00:27:07,310 --> 00:27:08,060
What if in future years,
613
00:27:08,060 --> 00:27:09,500
no one passes the imperial examinations?
614
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:10,750
What if it affects
615
00:27:10,750 --> 00:27:11,490
the performance evaluation of local magistrates?
616
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:12,790
What happens if
617
00:27:12,790 --> 00:27:13,900
in the long term,
618
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:15,860
the mores of Jin'an degenerate,
619
00:27:16,270 --> 00:27:17,540
and people only chase profit?
620
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,780
That's right.
621
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,810
I'm going to gamble too.
622
00:27:24,630 --> 00:27:25,780
Silence! Silence!
623
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,250
So,
624
00:27:27,470 --> 00:27:28,390
Brother Lu only refused them
625
00:27:28,390 --> 00:27:30,260
for the sake of
626
00:27:30,550 --> 00:27:32,180
the culture of learning in Jin'an.
627
00:27:32,180 --> 00:27:33,700
He refused to create this opening.
628
00:27:33,910 --> 00:27:35,250
Brother Lu
629
00:27:35,390 --> 00:27:37,220
was truly considerate
630
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,700
and trying to nip the problem in the bud.
631
00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:41,540
-Bravo! -Bravo!
632
00:27:46,270 --> 00:27:47,210
Magistrate Fang, look.
633
00:27:47,390 --> 00:27:48,540
In addition to common sense and humanity,
634
00:27:48,670 --> 00:27:50,900
there is justice and public-mindedness.
635
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,500
Jiamo,
636
00:27:53,270 --> 00:27:55,060
Didn't they ask you
637
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,220
to do accounting for the gambling house?
638
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,260
Sister.
639
00:27:58,670 --> 00:27:59,460
Accounting.
640
00:28:00,390 --> 00:28:01,180
Yes.
641
00:28:02,670 --> 00:28:03,860
Right.
642
00:28:04,630 --> 00:28:06,940
You helped the gambling house with accounting?
643
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,680
Lu forced us to do it.
644
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:09,430
Why didn't you tell me
645
00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:10,740
they helped the gambling house with accounting?
646
00:28:10,740 --> 00:28:11,680
I forget about it.
647
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,850
Why did you...
648
00:28:13,470 --> 00:28:15,020
They said if I did well,
649
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,210
they would let us off.
650
00:28:16,350 --> 00:28:17,710
How did you do?
651
00:28:17,710 --> 00:28:19,220
In 30 days,
652
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,380
the gambling house
653
00:28:20,380 --> 00:28:21,660
earned 1,130 taels.
654
00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:24,310
So the gambling house is so profitable.
655
00:28:24,310 --> 00:28:26,060
Our money in Renhua
656
00:28:26,060 --> 00:28:27,660
has all been earned by this person from Lanxi.
657
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:31,460
Magistrate Fang,
658
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:33,630
Brother Lu just said he's willing to
659
00:28:33,630 --> 00:28:36,670
donate 100 taels of silver to the county charity hall
660
00:28:36,670 --> 00:28:39,140
so as to give back to the community.
661
00:28:39,590 --> 00:28:41,810
You're a Lanxi native who opened a gambling house in Renhua
662
00:28:42,190 --> 00:28:43,860
to earn money from the people of Renhua.
663
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,080
I suggest
664
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,420
you two not be too arrogant.
665
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,020
Otherwise,
666
00:28:48,470 --> 00:28:49,340
I
667
00:28:49,790 --> 00:28:51,260
can't go against the people's will either.
668
00:28:51,470 --> 00:28:52,430
Of course.
669
00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:54,650
We are willing to give in.
670
00:28:54,830 --> 00:28:55,560
What is this lawyer
671
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,500
saying to the Magistrate?
672
00:28:56,670 --> 00:28:57,420
All right.
673
00:28:57,710 --> 00:28:59,220
My verdict is as follows.
674
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,340
Feng Baoyu
675
00:29:01,590 --> 00:29:02,580
and Shuai Jiamo
676
00:29:02,950 --> 00:29:04,330
won money
677
00:29:04,470 --> 00:29:06,820
through cheating and unlawful means.
678
00:29:07,270 --> 00:29:09,140
The gambling house is not to let them cash in.
679
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,750
However, Shuai Jiamo
680
00:29:10,750 --> 00:29:12,730
helped perform accounting for the gambling house.
681
00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:14,500
His crimes have been made even.
682
00:29:15,150 --> 00:29:16,800
The gambling house is not to pursue
683
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,750
the matter of Feng Baoyu and Shuai Jiamo's
684
00:29:18,750 --> 00:29:20,090
cheating.
685
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,220
Both parties should accept the judgement.
686
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,220
The last case.
687
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,020
Old Master, I was wronged.
688
00:29:28,020 --> 00:29:29,900
They threw the fish I was carrying early in the morning
689
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:31,510
back into the water.
690
00:29:31,510 --> 00:29:33,190
You are our Magistrate,
691
00:29:33,190 --> 00:29:34,860
you have to uphold justice for us.
692
00:29:36,230 --> 00:29:36,860
You-
693
00:29:36,860 --> 00:29:37,860
Fine.
694
00:29:38,150 --> 00:29:39,100
Everyone.
695
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:40,070
We were in a hurry.
696
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:41,290
I'm sorry.
697
00:29:41,430 --> 00:29:42,700
-Everyone! -I'm sorry.
698
00:29:42,990 --> 00:29:44,700
Although today's fight
699
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,790
was caused by
700
00:29:45,790 --> 00:29:47,060
the Feng siblings,
701
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,500
Brother Lu
702
00:29:48,790 --> 00:29:51,670
is willing to compensate you for your loss.
703
00:29:51,670 --> 00:29:53,340
Please calculate the total damages
704
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,940
and present it to the court.
705
00:29:55,070 --> 00:29:57,460
-Good! -Good!
706
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,110
Stop!
707
00:29:59,110 --> 00:30:00,210
-Good! -Good!
708
00:30:07,990 --> 00:30:08,810
There's no need.
709
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,540
I just asked you all.
710
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,310
The damages
711
00:30:13,310 --> 00:30:14,740
are 40 taels in total.
712
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,780
This matter was caused by
713
00:30:17,350 --> 00:30:19,700
Lu Feilong detaining the two of them.
714
00:30:20,150 --> 00:30:21,060
However,
715
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,580
I'll pay everyone double
716
00:30:22,830 --> 00:30:25,060
for all your losses.
717
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,750
-Good! -Good!
718
00:30:26,750 --> 00:30:27,500
-Good! -Good!
719
00:30:27,500 --> 00:30:28,900
That's honorable!
720
00:30:28,900 --> 00:30:30,100
-Good! -Good!
721
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:32,540
Good!
722
00:30:33,350 --> 00:30:35,620
Alright!
723
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,780
All's well that ends well!
724
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,220
Court adjourned.
725
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,850
Lawyer Cheng is truly amazing.
726
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,140
He settled all three cases so easily.
727
00:30:45,140 --> 00:30:46,380
He's truly an iron-mouthed lawyer.
728
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:47,830
You had a clear conscience,
729
00:30:47,830 --> 00:30:49,020
I merely cleared your name.
730
00:30:49,710 --> 00:30:50,670
By the way,
731
00:30:50,670 --> 00:30:51,550
this is for you.
732
00:30:51,550 --> 00:30:52,460
Just give it to me.
733
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,340
Master Fan asked me
734
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,980
to give you a discount.
735
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:58,300
It won’t be the same price next time.
736
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,420
Mr. Cheng's money
737
00:30:59,420 --> 00:31:01,060
is really easy-earned.
738
00:31:01,310 --> 00:31:02,540
The amount of money you pay me
739
00:31:02,540 --> 00:31:04,290
is the amount of justice I can uphold for you.
740
00:31:05,070 --> 00:31:05,940
That's all.
741
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:07,980
Bye.
742
00:31:07,330 --> 00:31:11,440
[Renhua County Office]
743
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,380
Those who know me say that I have my worries.
744
00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:15,140
Those who do not know me ask me what I pursue.
745
00:31:17,030 --> 00:31:18,300
Arithmetic is honest by nature.
746
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,250
Isn't it very clear what is right and what is wrong?
747
00:31:20,430 --> 00:31:22,420
My father opened a branch in Yangzhou,
748
00:31:22,710 --> 00:31:23,580
and got married again.
749
00:31:23,580 --> 00:31:24,630
Sister is the only one
750
00:31:24,630 --> 00:31:25,780
working in this shop.
751
00:31:26,350 --> 00:31:27,100
I have to
752
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:28,650
help her.
753
00:31:29,390 --> 00:31:30,180
6 fen.
754
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:31,740
10 mu and 6 fen.
755
00:31:31,910 --> 00:31:33,100
I have to make money.
756
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,500
If I can't earn money in Renhua,
757
00:31:35,510 --> 00:31:36,460
I'll go to the provincial capital
758
00:31:39,150 --> 00:31:40,850
and do something big.
759
00:31:41,230 --> 00:31:42,060
Shuai,
760
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,380
you are my best friend.
761
00:31:43,380 --> 00:31:44,660
You'll have to help me then.
762
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,030
What are you thinking about?
763
00:31:46,030 --> 00:31:46,820
I'm talking to you.
764
00:31:48,310 --> 00:31:49,700
I didn't miscalculate.
765
00:31:50,430 --> 00:31:51,900
The title deed and the acreage of the field
766
00:31:52,590 --> 00:31:53,910
don't tally.
767
00:31:53,910 --> 00:31:55,060
Why are you still thinking about
768
00:31:55,060 --> 00:31:56,860
the fields from this morning?
769
00:31:57,630 --> 00:31:59,130
Something is wrong with the fields.
770
00:31:59,270 --> 00:32:00,550
Maybe he made a mistake
771
00:32:00,550 --> 00:32:01,540
back when he divided the fields.
772
00:32:01,540 --> 00:32:02,260
Why do you care?
773
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,940
It's not just about the fields.
774
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,460
When I was helping Lu Feilong,
775
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:07,670
I found that
776
00:32:07,670 --> 00:32:08,900
their title deeds
777
00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:10,940
don't tally with the actual acreage found
778
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,060
when they hired people to measure the land.
779
00:32:12,670 --> 00:32:14,140
If you want to find out the truth,
780
00:32:14,140 --> 00:32:15,620
you have to go to the Archives.
781
00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:23,580
The Archives?
782
00:32:24,550 --> 00:32:25,220
Yes.
783
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,350
In Renhua,

00:32:26,350 --> 00:32:27,460

four boundaries, and area
787
00:32:31,230 --> 00:32:32,660
of every piece of land
788
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,180
must be registered by the government.
789
00:32:34,350 --> 00:32:36,700
One copy is kept by the landowner as the title deed.
790
00:32:36,950 --> 00:32:38,210
Tthe other is made into a fish-scale map register,
791
00:32:38,390 --> 00:32:39,660
and kept
792
00:32:39,660 --> 00:32:40,700
in the Jin'an Prefecture Archives.
793
00:32:40,870 --> 00:32:42,470
If you want to buy or sell land,
794
00:32:42,470 --> 00:32:44,020
it'll have to tally
795
00:32:44,020 --> 00:32:44,870
with the fish-scale map register
796
00:32:44,870 --> 00:32:46,220
for the government to stamp on the contract.
797
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,260
If you really want to figure out
798
00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:50,220
the discrepancy between the field acreage and the title deed,
799
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,740
you will have to go to the Archives.
800
00:33:00,230 --> 00:33:01,420
But not everyone
801
00:33:02,110 --> 00:33:03,380
can enter
802
00:33:03,550 --> 00:33:04,780
the Archives.
803
00:33:05,430 --> 00:33:07,180
If you can bring me into the Archives...
804
00:33:09,430 --> 00:33:10,820
You will go to the provincial capital with me.

[Laying Out the Scenes at Brothels]
807
00:33:15,070 --> 00:33:17,490
This is a rare version of the book.
808
00:33:17,670 --> 00:33:18,700
This picture collection

is printed in color.
810
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:22,530
The illustrations are animated and the compositions are ingenious.
811
00:33:24,430 --> 00:33:25,620
In this long night,
812
00:33:25,790 --> 00:33:28,060
it is fatigue-relieving, like cool ice.
813
00:33:30,630 --> 00:33:32,500
It's not that I want to read this book.
814
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,140
My friend wants to read it.
815
00:33:36,390 --> 00:33:38,290
What a coincidence.
816
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:39,770
I have a friend
817
00:33:39,950 --> 00:33:41,340
who wants to read some books too.
818
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,970
If you let my friend read them,
819
00:33:44,550 --> 00:33:45,820
I'll let your friend
820
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:46,820
read this too.

What a dummy.

00:35:06,269 --> 00:35:07,240
Why aren't you turning to look
831
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:08,390
when there is such a commotion?
832
00:35:08,390 --> 00:35:10,100
Your house is burning down!
833
00:35:11,550 --> 00:35:13,080
Leave this dummy alone!

00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,180
are still inside!
