[Integrity, Prudence, Diligence]

My Lord!

My Lord!

My Lord!

[Integrity, Prudence, Diligence]

You must uphold justice for me!

My Lord!

You must uphold justice for me!

You jinx!

You actually killed your own uncle!

My... uncle?

I beg you, My Lord, please uphold justice for us.

How did the plaintiff die?

My Lord,

when I found Fan Daniu,

he had already stopped breathing.

There were multiple knife wounds on his body.

It looks like he was hacked to death with a long knife.

My Lord, in my humble opinion,

the killer was skilled with a knife.

It was her!

If it wasn't her,

who else could be so good with a butcher knife?

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

Just for this house!

My Lord, I came to the county government office

early in the morning.

The neighbors can all prove that!

Yes, we can prove that!

-We can testify for Changyu! -Last night,

-Changyu was at home! -Yes!

And we came here

-with her in the morning! -County Magistrate!

Changyu is innocent!

Silence!

I am investigating the case!

My Lord,

even if she didn't do it herself,

she might have hired a killer.

How about we search her house first?

Right.

Guards!

Take Fan Changyu into custody pending trial.

Yes.

I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

Changyu!

Changyu!

It wasn't me!

Changyu!

Changyu!

Changyu!

Changyu!

Changyu, don't be afraid!

[Integrity, Prudence, Diligence]

Where is Constable Wang?

My Lord,

Constable Wang has already gone to the Fan's house with his men.

Search!

Changning?

My Lord,

there's no one upstairs.

My Lord, there's no one in the backyard.

My Lord, no one.

It seems someone came to the Fan family for revenge.

You two stay here.

The rest of you, follow me back to the county government office to report.

-Yes! -Yes!

[Pursuit of Jade]

[Episode 7]

Don't blow it.

My sister told me to blow the whistle if I meet bad guys.

It's not the time yet.

Blowing the whistle now

will only attract more bad guys.

Mr. Wang,

I didn't kill Uncle.

I know.

Changyu,

something happened at your home too.

When I got there,

I saw three bodies on the ground.

Where is Changning?

Don't panic.

Those bodies weren't your husband and Changning.

There was no one in the house,

but it had been ransacked.

Maybe those people just took them away.

Someone reported movement on the mountain outside the city.

Magistrate has sent people

-to search the mountain. -I'll go find them.

You can't go out right now.

-The magistrate didn't let you go home. -My parents are dead.

I only have this sister left, Mr. Wang.

I beg you.

Changyu.

You must be careful.

Changning,

count to 10.

Put your clothes on.

As long as you stay alive,

your sister will come save you.

Zheng...

Zheng.

Zheng!

Turn around. Don't look.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

I killed someone.

Sister!

Go, now!

Don't worry about me!

Take Changning and go!

Changyu! Zheng!

Good.

Now I can take care of this bunch of trash.

How are you?

Didn't I tell you to leave?

Why did you come back?

I had to send Changning away before coming back for you.

Hold on.

The official soldiers will be here soon.

Hold on!

Don't get distracted.

Who sent you?

What grudge do you hold against the Fan family

that makes you want us dead?

Yan Zheng?

Yan Zheng!

Wake up.

Don't fall asleep.

We're almost home.

This is the second time

I'm carrying you out of the snow.

Other women find a man to support the family.

Did I find a man

just to build up my physical strength?

Don't sleep.

Hang in there.

You have to stay alive.

If anything happens to you,

I won't be able to repay this debt.

Get up. Don't sleep.

Thank you for saving Changning.

If she had died,

I really don't know

how I could have gone on living.

I owe you a lot.

Yan Zheng...

Yan Zheng...

Yan Zheng...

Wake up.

Don't sleep.

Don't sleep, Yan Zheng.

Yan Zheng!

Yan Zheng!

Don't sleep.

Don't sleep...

Sister!

Changyu! Zheng!

Wake up!

Changyu! Zheng!

Let's go home.

Changyu! Changyu!

Changyu!

Help!

Zheng.

Your father is a great hero with unyielding integrity.

In the future, you must also

become a man like him.

Zheng, eat more.

-Dad, here you are. -Eat more.

You have to eat if you want strength.

Zheng, eat well,

so you can grow up to be as strong as your father.

Xie Linshan...

Xie Linshan!

Xie Linshan...

Mother!

Why did you break your promise?

You said you'd come back and paint my eyebrows.

Mother!

Zheng,

I made these osmanthus cakes myself.

They're so sweet.

Take them outside to eat.

Okay.

When you come back,

pick some more osmanthus flowers for me.

I'll make you more osmanthus cakes.

Zheng, remember,

osmanthus cake is my favorite.

No! Don't!

Don't eat the osmanthus cakes! Don't go!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Zheng.

Do not miss me.

I can't be with you as you grow up.

Mother, don't leave me behind.

I just wanted to feed you medicine.

Why did you act like I was trying to kill you?

I'm sorry.

Here.

I'll do it myself.

This hand of yours...

has two deep cuts from a sword.

On this hand, the web between your thumb and forefinger is torn.

The doctor said

you shouldn't use force with either of your hands.

No need. I don't like sweets.

Don't worry. It's not osmanthus flavored.

I heard you shouting just now

about not wanting to eat osmanthus or something.

I knew you wouldn't like it.

This is dried tangerine peel candy.

The doctor said

your injuries are quite serious this time.

He repeatedly said you should rest and recover well.

Anyway, until you're healed,

you can't lift heavy objects.

Our home has been sealed by the county government office.

We can't go back for now.

So we'll just squeeze in at Mr. Zhao's place.

Just focus on recovering in the attic and rest easy.

Changyu, Yan Zheng, dinner is ready.

Okay.

I'll go down first.

I'll bring you food in a bit.

Thank you for protecting Changning.

Who sent you?

What grudge do you hold against the Fan family

that makes you want us dead?

The Iron Suicide Warriors?

The Wei family's lackeys have noticed this place,

but they weren't coming for me.

[Xigu Lane]

Dry weather!

Beware of fire!

Here, the brazier.

Are you cold or what?

What's going on?

Why are your hands shaking so badly?

I... I don't know.

It's been like this since I came back from the woods.

You...

I probably just caught a cold. It's fine.

You're awake?

Go to sleep. I'll stay with you.

You woke up sweating profusely at noon.

Was it a nightmare because of the killing?

Yes.

It was my first time killing someone too.

Were you scared?

Actually...

you were scared too.

I'm not scared anymore.

It's just that my hands are shaking a bit.

Actually, you don't need to be afraid either.

Do something else over the next few days,

like butchering pigs.

You don't know how to butcher pigs, do you?

I'll teach you later.

That way,

you'll have a livelihood if you stop escorting goods in the future.

Come sit over here.

It's warm here.

Old people say

butchers have an aura of death

that keeps evil spirits away.

If I watch over you,

you won't have nightmares anymore.

Just put it here.

Mr. Wang, has the verdict come down from the county office?

Constable Wang, you're here.

Constable Wang.

[Arrest Warrant]

By order of the Magistrate:

Yan Zheng, husband of Fan Changyu,

[Arrest Warrant]

is suspected of murder

and is to be arrested to await trial.

[Qingping County Government Office]

Fan Changyu, Fan Daniu's case isn't closed yet.

As a key suspect,

you should be in prison awaiting trial,

yet you dared to escape during the chaos.

I haven't held you accountable yet,

and you actually came before me?

Guards. Arrest her as well.

My wife has witnesses.

She has nothing to do with the Fan Daniu case.

[Government]

May I ask, My Lord,

during your investigation,

have you found any solid evidence?

Matrilocal husband of Fan Changyu,

when you married into the Fan family,

you didn't report to the county office.

Since you are from another place,

do you have a travel permit to prove your identity?

We have the travel permit.

It's here.

[Government]

[Applicant: Fan Changyu, Xigu Lane, Lin'an Town]

I knew it.

[Travel Permit]

This travel permit was reissued recently, wasn't it?

There is no document from your place of origin.

Is that correct?

I encountered bandits on the road,

and lost the document from my place of origin.

[Travel Permit]

I have asked someone to go back to reissue it.

It will arrive later.

In that case,

your travel permit is not in order.

My Lord,

Yan Zheng has married into the Fan family,

which means he has a local guarantor.

According to the Legal Code of Great Yin...

Shut up, Constable Wang.

You audacious peasant!

How dare you pose as a resident of this county?

I suspect you are a bandit from Qingfeng Stronghold,

working in collusion to bring villains here

and ruin the peace of Lin'an.

No! He's wrongly accused, My Lord!

We are the victims!

My sister and husband were nearly killed!

How can you not distinguish right from wrong?

How dare you!

You dare accuse our County Magistrate?

You claim you were nearly killed,

but perhaps it was an uneven split of the loot,

leading to infighting. Who knows?

Just wait a few more days.

Once the travel permit arrives,

the truth will be revealed.

Why would I wait for you to judge a case?

You audacious refugee!

You are full of lies and deceiving me.

Guards!

Give him 20 heavy lashes.

Bring the confession and make him sign it.

Stop!

As a court official,

you want to torture me into confessing?

How dare you slander me!

Beat him!

Beat him hard!

My Lord, he is injured!

Beat me instead, My Lord!

Make sure he confesses his connection to the bandits!

Beat him!

My Lord!

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Rebellion! This is rebellion!

What do you think this courtroom is?

My Lord!

This girl is innocent!

Have pity on this orphan!

Yes!

Have pity on them!

[Integrity, Prudence, Diligence]

Relying on you position,

you're bullying an orphan girl!

That's right!

How can you bully someone like this?

Injustice, My Lord!

Injustice!

Please!

My Lord!

My Lord,

why don't we wait a few more days

to avoid a wrongful conviction?

My Lord, public opinion is a powerful thing.

Do not provoke public anger.

Silence!

[Integrity, Prudence, Diligence]

One case at a time.

Fan Changyu, as a suspect in the Fan Daniu case,

you shouldn't even be here.

Constable Wang, take her back to the prison first.

Yes.

Changyu, come with me.

It's fine.

[Government]

My Lord, it's safer to lock them in prison.

Just make sure some evidence is planted in the end.

I'll give you one last...

I'll give you one last chance.

Preposterous! Seize him!

I explained the law to you,

but you are bent on framing me.

Since that's the case,

we'll do it my way!

Wh-What do you want?

You're just a mere commoner.

You actually dare

to harm our County Magistrate?

You're just a magistrate.

You actually dare to rebel?

What...

What are you saying?

You are the one rebelling!

Sir, don't be impulsive.

Yan Zheng!

Magistrate,

this joke has gone a bit too far.

[Travel Permit]

Yan Zheng's travel permit is here.

[Travel Permit]

You have internal injuries?

Did you miss me?

At this very moment,

do I look

-especially pleasing to your eyes? -If you had come later,

I would have smashed this place.

Come on, let's avoid trouble. Leave it to me.

My Lord,

Yan Zheng comes from Luyuan Academy.

The travel permit and documents are here.

[Travel Permit]

May we speak in private?

Luyuan Academy?

Please.

[Government]

[Integrity, Prudence, Diligence]

This way.

Everything is settled. Don't worry.

My Lord,

he is merely a student.

Is such respect necessary?

What do you know?

Luyuan Academy is the premier literary institution in the realm.

Those young men of noble families

are not people a lowly magistrate like me can afford to offend.

It is inconvenient for us to reveal our identities.

It is better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Is he even fit to be an official?

He is merely useless trash.

Do with him as you like later.

We're at a disadvantage right now.

Let's get out of trouble first.

I have ascertained the truth.

Listen to the verdict.

Summon the Fan family's eldest daughter-in-law, Mi.

Yan Zheng is an innocent commoner.

Uh... he was forced to kill some bandits to protect his family.

He has nothing to do with Qingfeng Stronghold.

Therefore, he is acquitted.

Great!

What about Fan Changyu?

Yes! What about Fan Changyu?

Well, there is currently no evidence proving

that Fan Changyu is the real murderer.

She'll be released as well.

My Lord!

You must uphold justice for me!

Fan Daniu died such an unjust death!

Silence!

It is all your fault, you unreasonable shrew!

Making such a racket.

What a disgrace!

As for the truth,

I have my own judgment.

If you dare to cause more trouble,

you will all be severely punished.

Court is dismissed!

-Yan Zheng! -Yan Zheng!

Luckily I arrived early.

Otherwise, you really would have died here.

Yan Zheng!

Yan Zheng!

Take good care of Fan Changyu.

Of course.

Yan Zheng?

Who is Fan Changyu?
