[Miss Chun is a Litigator.]

[Episode 2]

Wei...

Wu...

My lord,

this witness and I

have completed the verification.

How's it going?

The situation is that...he

is perfectly fine.

You can go down.

someone else can't do it

doesn't mean he can't do it.

Yeah.

Yes.

My lord,

I ran as fast as I could,

in 15 minutes,

from the back lane of Piaoxiang

to Licorice Street

without panting.

And I don't think it's hard.

It seems Zhang Wuniang is right.

Miss Chun.

What else do you have to say?

Please give me a little more time.

Let me think about it.

All right.

All this time,

you haven't produced a shred of evidence

that Chun Dashan was wronged.

I've put up with you for a long time.

I understand that you're a little girl.

So I didn't charge you with court disturbance.

Stop messing with

my case.

I hereby declare...

Wait, my lord.

My lord.

He's the one who helped me find the evidence.

This case is fraught with suspicion.

Please report Li Er to court

for a new trial.

Do you really have new evidence?

Yes.

I have solid evidence.

Summon Li Er to court.

[Clean, Cautious and Diligent]

Dare I ask your grace,

in the last testimony,

what did Zhang Wuniang say about

my father entering the yard

and Li Er saving her?

Your grace.

In Zhang Wuniang's complaint

and today's statement,

it's said that Chun Dashan entered the yard,

locked the gate,

and was about to do something wrong.

In Li Er's testimony,

he said saw Chun Dashan

entered the yard

and rushed in

to save Zhang Wuniang.

Since he had locked the gate,

how could he see

inside?

You can see through walls?

Your grace.

I panicked

and said the wrong thing.

Yes, yes, yes.

Yes.

I was just angry.

I live right next door to Zhang Wuniang.

That day I heard a cry for help.

I climbed to the top of the wall,

and I saw this villain

doing something bad.

I didn't go in through the gate.

Do you know martial arts?

No.

Your grace.

I asked someone

to find the blueprints for Licorice Street.

As is shown in the picture,

the courtyard wall of Licorice Street

should be at least eight feet.

My witness

is six feet, and he can't get over it.

You...

I stepped on the water tank,

which I put under the wall to catch rain water

to prevent fire.

So,

do you still have your tank?

No, it's broken.

Since it's used to prevent fire,

it must have been laid aside for a long time.

There should be traces on the ground.

Why don't we ask someone to take a look?

As it happens,

I bought my jar

after she paid me back.

I didn't leave it there long enough to make a dent.

Then consider it as a new purchase.

There's no trace.

Is the shard still there?

Where did the pieces go?

The pieces are behind the house.

They have been picked up long ago.

I want to get even with

the jar seller.

You bought a new jar

and it happened to get smashed.

And its pieces happened to be picked up.

I was wondering

were you hurt?

I... No.

Then you're really good.

Your grace.

Li Er's bones were so light that

he was able to jump eight feet off a wall

while standing on a water tank,

unharmed.

A man like that,

your grace might consider him

serving the country.

Your grace.

I've learned some martial arts since childhood,

so I'm curious.

I wonder if your grace can ask Li Er

to demonstrate the skill

of jumping down from eight feet high wall

without any injury?

Yes.

Why don't you jump?

That means my evidence

doesn't hold up.

If you can't jump,

you're lying.

Also, it happened so suddenly.

Where did you come from?

Pestle.

Yes.

It has always been

the women, the children who wash the clothes.

Could it be that this Li Er

learned

his martial arts

from washing clothes?

Haven't you heard that Li Er

only wash clothes once a few months?

And

his neighbors helped with the washing.

That's strange.

In that case,

where did you get the pestle?

Where did you get it?

Where did you get it?

Where did you get it?

Where did you get it?

Li Er.

Why don't you jump with this pestle

again?

Your grace.

Guys.

I grew up without a mother.

And my father brought me up.

Everyone knows my father loves me.

Now I'm old enough to get married.

My father wants nothing more than to

find me a good man to marry.

At this time,

He would not do anything

to hurt my reputation.

Li Er.

Everything you just said, as it happens,

[Silence]

is a lie.

Zhang Wuniang.

You are right.

No one in this world

can call black white.

If you tell a lie,

you have to find countless reasons

to cover up the lie.

But it is

a house without foundation.

And the wind can blow it apart.

Everything will be revealed

in front of the law.

My lord is wise.

Please

clear my father's name.

Please get up.

Thank you, my lord.

Li Er.

Don't you want to tell me the truth?

You want me to torture you?

Go... Go ahead.

What punishment?

My lord.

My lord, I told you everything.

I told you everything.

Everything here

is under the orders of Zhang Wuniang.

Bullshit.

My lord, he's talking nonsense.

You're talking nonsense!

Lord Zhang.

Everything here

is... is... is

under her orders.

I really don't know,

why did Zhang Wuniang

frame Master Chun?

Yes.

She must have seen Master Chun's

good looks

and wanted to do such a shameless thing.

Half a month ago,

Zhang Wuniang came to me

and gave me one tael of silver.

When it's done,

I'll give you another 20 taels.

I'm the right person to call.

Wait for my news.

[Wanhe Building]

My lord.

She asked me to track

Master Chun.

I'll pick it up

on the 18th of this month at nine o'clock.

Okay, take care.

Later,

I happened to see

Master Chun

made a hairpin in the Wanhe Restaurant

and promised to pick it up at 9:00 on the 18th of this month.

I told Zhang Wuniang about it.

She gave me another tael of silver.

She asked me to find the beggars in the town

and on the 18th of this month, follow Master Chun

to a secluded place,

[Wine]

rob him of his things,

and run to Zhang Wuniang's backyard.

Sir.

Sir, are you okay?

[South Market]

Stop!

[Zu Hongwu Business ]

Excuse me.

Did you see

someone run by?

I think I saw

someone over there.

You...

I am obsessed with money.

How silly of me!

How silly of me!

My lord, how silly of me!

My lord, please spare my life.

He's talking nonsense.

He must have taken

Chun family's money

to slander me.

I'm innocent.

My lord.

You must

clear my name!

My lord.

Zhang Wuniang.

We haven't found out the motive yet,

but we have evidence.

You have made a false accusation.

You'd better tell the truth

so that he can be lenient.

If we find out why,

none of you

will get away with it.

That's right.

All right.

This case

seems to be clear-cut.

The questioning is over for the day.

The next day is the night court,

and the prisoners will be interrogated in the third hall.

Court adjourned.

Please spare my life.

It's time to go.

My lady.

Are you okay?

I think I was too nervous.

You're amazing.

I watched it outside

and I was so excited I was about to cry.

His Lordship is all right now.

Please wait, my lord.

My lord.

You did a lot of justice

for the Chun family in court today.

Thank you.

In the Yamen,

I had no choice.

That's why I apologize today.

I accept your courtesy.

But I can't accept

your apology just yet.

This wine is worth a lot of money.

If it's spilled, it's gone.

How do I make amends?

Keep it.

I haven't figured it out yet.

Madam.

my lady

didn't even drink a sip of water this morning.

She was running around yesterday

about his lordship.

Guo'er.

Don't be cheeky.

You have good manners.

Look at me.

Forget it.

Get up.

Thank you, Madam.

Is there a reason

why you are hurrying to Madam's room

so early in the morning?

I came to see her ladyship

to give her a message.

Father was falsely accused earlier,

but luckily it has been found out.

He'll be back

the day after tomorrow after the third hall's interrogation.

He'll be back?

But Xiao Qin said

Master Hu that sent by my mother

was stuck by questioning.

Well, Master Hu

did make some bad moves,

but fortunately they all worked out.

Who solved it?

I...

and some of my friends.

How did you solve it?

I came to tell Her Ladyship

to reassure you.

If you have any doubts,

you can check with him

when he comes back.

Wait till he's back,

then everything is late.

Don't worry.

I've arranged everything.

Master Hu is on his way to the county government

with my money

to bring Dashan back safe and sound.

What are you talking about?

I need you to get someone to that Master Hu.

He can't see the county magistrate.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Mrs. Wang.

Why are you holding Guo'er back?

Without the old lady's permission,

no one can leave the yard.

She belongs to Chun's family.

Why can't she get out?

Tumi.

Guo'er is the maid of the Chun family.

I'm the mistress of the Chun family.

Mrs. Wang is not qualified.

I must be qualified.

Your Ladyship.

Think about it.

I won't hurt my father, right?

Your lady must be out of your mind.

Master Hu is known as

a pen-and-knife bureaucrat.

If Master Hu can't solve this problem,

who can we count on?

You don't want us

to intercede with His Lordship

because you

read too many books

and you want to bully

honest people, like us?

-Madam. -Her Ladyship.

If we go to the government office,

I'm afraid there will be trouble again.

How old are you?

What do you know?

Since ancient times, the official has two mouths.

Without money,

we can't believe

what they say.

Now that I'm here,

you can leave it alone.

I have my own idea.

Thank you, your ladyship.

But it can't be rushed,

it's better to wait.

If we can't solve it tomorrow,

it's not too late to ask for help.

If your family

has people who can solve the problem,

you wouldn't ask

ask us for help.

It was Madam

who insisted on inviting the old lady.

She didn't.

You... Guo'er.

What did you mean, Your Ladyship?

Although I'm young,

I understand filial piety comes first.

I'm not gonna let anything happen to my father.

Tumi.

I know your father loves you.

But even if he loves you,

you're still going to get married.

When you marry someone, you're an outsider.

You belong to someone else's family.

So,

you have to understand that

your father is first and foremost

my daughter's husband,

and second, he is my son-in-law.

If there is a decision to be made,

it shouldn't be made

by an outsider who is about to get married.

I'm gonna say something nasty.

When your father dies in the future,

my daughter decides

where to bury him.

You can just cry

at the grave.

Luckily, my father is not dead yet.

As long as I'm alive,

I won't let him be wronged.

I don't understand.

Who is a stranger

in this yard now?

You gave favors and money.

We should thank you.

But you acted on your own

without

asking our wishes.

Is this the Chun family

or the Xu family?

How dare you talk to me like that?

It's about my father's innocence.

I have to

resist your kindness.

Guo'er, stop him.

Yes.

Stop that bitch!

Stop her!

Guo'er, are you okay?

So rude.

So rude.

Is that what Chun Dashan

taught you?

Your daughter married into my family.

You scolding the Chun family is equal to scolding her.

Say what you will.

And you.

Guo'er is my maid.

Don't you dare touch her again!

Don't you dare touch her again!

If a servant can't beat your maid,

I can do it.

Even if you

don't get married this year,

you'll be married

next year.

I will make an example of this servant girl

today

and set a rule for Master Chun,

so as not to make a disgrace of you

when you come to your husband's house.

My Lady.

My lady, are you alright?

Guo'er, go stop him first.

Hurry up!

I'll see who dares to move.

No, Mother.

Are you okay?

Tumi.

I... I'll send someone to stop Master Hu.

You should go back to rest.

What are you doing?

Mother.

I think

we should let this go.

You... You.

[The river fish is easy to get.]

Miss Chun is really good.

If it were me,

[Lotus Fish Soup]

my legs would be shaking in the court.

She's not afraid?

I have a friend

who works with her father, Chun Dashan.

He said

she had been fascinated by the Torah books

since childhood.

She must have grown up

listening to her grandfather's Yamen stories.

Really?

In recent years,

she has become more eloquent.

I heard she helped a lot of people.

No wonder.

Sir, here's your lotus fish soup.

Please enjoy.

Don't just listen.

Your missed

Linshuilou lotus fish soup

costs one tael of silver.

If it gets cold,

it will be a waste.

It's said that the lotus fish soup is rare.

It only sells ten bowls a day.

I was curious.

But it was just

served in front of me so easily,

I don't feel like drinking it.

Let it go to waste.

It's wasted anyway.

Anyway, it's you,

the emperor's close official, who pay for it.

You're kidding, Lord Han.

Prefectures have many talents.

I'm just a sixth grade official.

What close officials?

It can't be true.

Look.

In this small Bianzhou Restaurant,

even if I show my name,

I can't book

No. 1 Room.

Who is in No. 1 Room?

I heard it's a southern trader.

Interesting.

Mother.

Wait for me!

Mother!

Mother, don't go.

You're on that girl's side.

What else do you want me to do?

I begged Master Hu.

But?

I've been busy for nothing.

Mother.

I didn't mean that.

Dashan had always loved

this daughter the most.

You hit her today.

If he found out,

it would be a storm.

He'll blame me.

Then you asked her

to stop Master Hu

and let her do what she wants?

I thought that

if Dashan was sentenced in the third session,

it would be okay

to beg Master Hu at that time.

In that case,

it's all Tumi's fault.

She can't blame us.

Look at you.

There're so many young talents.

And you don't like them?

Why did you have a crash on

that Chun Dashan?

Forget it.

It's up to you.

Mother, take care.

Xiao Zheng, tell me.

We've seen a lot of women

since we were kids.

But we've never seen

anyone like Chun Tumi before?

She started talking about the law

at a very young age.

With a little prodding,

she can pull through.

She's like a little lion.

She grab and hit

where it hurt.

Yesterday, you disliked

a curtain of separation.

You took the initiative to save her.

I figured,

apart from what she said

was interesting,

and you've got a little something for yourself.

But Lord Han,

you're here on a secret mission.

But I have to

make a sad remark.

You...

Don't worry.

I wasted no time.

When did you see me waste the time?

When this case is over,

I have one more thing

to ask Lord Han.

You said

you'd give me Chun Dashan.

He must be a man of law

if he can raise such a daughter.

His family is a military family.

You're an official.

He can't follow you.

I went back to the military mansion yesterday

to check the records of the Chun family.

Chun Dashan's father

has two brothers.

His father is the third child.

Chun Qingyang has two children.

Instead of going to the army,

he went to work for the Yamen.

As you know,

in order to avoid the evasion of soldiers,

the law stipulates that the military and the family shall not be divided.

But I can't believe his two brothers

didn't have a son

and then became extinct.

Only three of their daughters

married out of town.

To Chun Dashan's generation,

they had no choice.

His second uncle stepped into the shoes of his elder uncle.

So Chun Dashan doesn't

have a son now?

If he had a son,

he wouldn't ask his daughter

to stand in for him.

But Xiao Zheng.

The most important thing right now

is not this.

You know that

my secret edict is very heavy.

You should cooperate with me

to get the work done.

It's important to report to the capital.

As for Chun Dashan,

I'll figure it out later.

Why are you crying?

It's nothing serious.

Everything is done.

I'm relieved.

Have a seat.

My Lady.

There is a blood mark

on your back.

How wide is it?

It's all my fault.

In this world,

no lady

will defend a girl.

There is no reason for a lady

to defend a girl.

But a big sister

can defend her little sister.

Look.

We grew up together.

Now we even get beaten together.

Go find some medicine.

Let's apply it together.

But

they are all kept by Her Ladyship.

I...

It's fine.

I'll ask them now.

If they refuse,

we can rob or beg.

I can't let her

suffer any more.

They

don't like us now.

Stop asking for trouble.

What are you doing here?

Madam asked me to give it to you.

Did the sun rise from the west?

Xiao Qin gave it to you.

Don't use it now.

They are in a hurry to deliver it.

Did they poison them?

No.

Her Ladyship also wants us to

get better soon.

She thinks she hurt me.

When my father came back,

she wouldn't know

how to explain to him.

So this medicine

should be the best.

Well,

you can use it.

No, thanks.

The wound on my face is obvious.

When Master comes back tomorrow,

he'll ask us.

By then, my lady,

you can tell

what happened today.

Don't let them succeed.

Today's purpose

is to stop Master Hu.

It's fine if it's done.

Although Her Ladyship is muddled,

she still cares about me.

Well,

let's call it a day.

As long as my father can come back safely,

everything else...

I really have something to talk to him.

What else?

Madam reminded me.

I haven't talked about my marriage yet.

At my age,

I'll still get married.

So before that,

you should hurry up

to do what you want.

What do you want to do?

Guo'er.

I think I enjoy

killing everyone in court.

I think I'm very useful,

like a hero.

My lady, slow down.

Although I just filed a complaint,

when I went to court,

my mind went blank.

But after I figured out my thoughts,

I won't be afraid anymore.

Anyway, I don't know these.

As long as Master is fine

and your reputation is not damaged,

we can

live a good life.

What is the future?

Just like before.

When you are free,

you can read books and listen to stories

and then get married and have children.

It sounds boring.

How is it boring?

That's how everyone lives.

Anyway, you can't be a litigator

like Scholar Sun.

I almost forgot.

Scholar Sun took

five silvers from us.

He didn't do anything for money

and almost ruined it.

Go.

Let him spit out the money

that he swallowed.

Damn it.

I'll go alone.

Don't fight.

I'll teach you how to say it.

Just say

the guests from the south

came early or late,

but she appeared in Bianzhou

at the same time.

Send someone to keep an eye on him.

At this critical moment,

It's right to be careful.

[Tea]

Young Master.

Long time no see.

What are you doing here?

Young Master is in Bianzhou alone

and hasn't returned yet.

The Grand Secretary is worried that

you'll miss the pay day this month.

So I specially sent Shen Wei here.

Where is it?

This belongs to Young Master.

This is Jinyi's.

Before Shen Wei went out,

the Grand Secretary kept reminding me that

you should take good medicine every month

and you must take it on time.

Don't delay.

Otherwise, you will suffer.

I missed the return date,

because Han Wuwei

has arrived in Bianzhou.

I've already written

to the Grand Secretary.

You've already met the Left Hand Protector

at Linshui Building, right?

Yes.

I'll take care of the inkstone.

The Left Hand Protector paraded himself

in front of Han Wuwei just now.

It's not necessary.

Young Master.

this is all Grand Secretary's idea.

Although Han Wuwei is in the light now,

we are in the dark.

But Chu You, the commissioner of Bianzhou,

has a knack

for tricks.

He's in charge of the inkstone.

If he gave it to Han Wuwei,

it'd be difficult for us.

The Grand Secretary is worried that you'll suffer losses outside.

First,

I can attract

Han Wuwei's attention.

And I can help you get away after it's done.

Second,

the details

can be used by you.

Thank you, Grand Secretary.

Although

I am a young master,

I'm actually a sinner.

How can I command Left Hand Protector?

Young Master,

you can't think like that.

Although

he is still angry,

you and him

are father and son.

Blood is thicker than water.

In this world,

no father

will exile his own son

for the rest of his life.

Besides, everyone knows

he will support you.

It's only a matter of time

for your reset.

I've been working for the Pavilion these years.

I'll be fine as long as I'm with you.

Left Hand Protector,

don't mention

the past.

Yes.

But there is one thing

to ask you.

Just tell me.

These are all given

to A Yili.

It's been a few years.

I wonder if Xiao Li has changed a lot.

She used to like these.

I wonder she

still like it.

My Lady.

He's just a little fool.

He knows nothing.

Stop teasing him.

OK.

Cover my eyes.

No.

No, no!

No, no!

I didn't hit you again.

What are you yelling about?

You're really a fool.

Boring.

A Yili.

Grand Secretary.

Grand Secretary, what took you so long?

I'm bored to death.

Didn't you say you'd help me

find my brother?

I've packed my luggage.

Look at you.

You're just impatient.

I'll take you out

when I get the message from Jinyi.

Okay?

Okay, I'll do it.

I don't have to

stay in the Pavilion anymore.

It's hard for you to stay here.

So many people are playing with you.

Playing with them

is so boring.

Don't be willful.

When you see the young master,

you can't be so willful.

Right?

Of course.

When I see my brother,

I'll be the most obedient person in the world.

[The river fish is easy to get.]

Waiter.

[The river fish is easy to get.]

Coming.

Is she Chun Tumi's maid?

Right?

Jinyi

always wanted to stand up for me,

but he was gone at the critical moment.

There was an emergency

in his family who lived in the countryside.

He left in a hurry.

Thank you, Jiu.

My lady has something to do.

I have to go.

I'll go check

what happened to her ladyship.

Don't forget there's something important.

I know.

I'll be back soon.

The crime of fraud

deserves a fine of several times silver.

If you know the law and break the law, you will be sentenced to death.

We will let it go.

You can compensate us.

[Sun Mansion]

Miss.

What can I do for you?

I'm looking for your master.

Do you have a lawsuit?

Yes.

Just take me in.

Money is not a problem.

[Sun Mansion]

Okay.

Who are you?

What's your name?

I...

My surname is Guo...

My surname?

No.

Are you from the Chun family?

I remember you. No.

You got the wrong person.

Let me in.

My lawsuit is huge.

My master is not at home.

He won't see any guests.

No.

Why did you close the door?

Who are you?

How did you get in?

I heard that your master

took the money and didn't do anything.

Return the money!

Please spare my life.

This has nothing to do with me.

[Sun Mansion]

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

It hurts so much.

Then I heard

all kinds of cries.

Then,

the door opened.

Guess who I saw.

Who?

The Young Master

who helped you

He...

Why is he with Scholar Sun?

He...

He asked me to send you a message.

What?

The second time.

I'll help you.

He's sick.

Gosh.

He's so handsome.

How could there be

such a handsome

and kind-hearted husband.

Handsome?

Miss,

I've decided to support you as a litigator.

Didn't you say

this young master

must be

attracted

in the hall?

Think about it.

When he rushed to the court,

that stupid county magistrate

respected him very much.

If I could marry someone like him,

I'd like to be a litigator.

You're sick too.

Miss.

We've been walking so long.

Where are you going?

My father will be back tomorrow.

Things are not going well lately.

I want to buy Ruyiqian to hang up.

Slow down.

The fortune-sellers

will close soon.

[Bianzhou Commissioner's Office]

My lord. My lord.

It was kept here,

right?

Yes.

Since I got this,

I put it in this mansion

and ordered people to guard it day and night.

This way, please.

Is this place safe?

Don't worry, his majesty.

I

took it as my life.

and hid it very well.

My lord.

It's absolutely safe to put it here.

Please.

How dare you!

How dare you steal from the commissioner's residence?

Guards!

Help!

A thief broke in!

Take it.

Hurry! My lord!

Where is the thief? Over there!

Go after them!

Up there!

Who are you?

My lord.

My lord.

Block all the gates.

We must catch the thief

who broke into the commissioner's office tonight.

Yes. Yes.

Let's go.
