[Miss Chun is a Litigator]

[Episode 12]

[Fair and honest]

Zhengyuan.

Come, take a seat.

Lord Luo.

It's too much of an honour.

You are the most respected

and of the highest rank in Youzhou.

You should sit at the seat of honor.

Lord Luo,

don't make things difficult for Zhengyuan.

Don't say that.

I'm not the judge today.

I shouldn't

sit there.

By the way,

I almost forgot.

I'm the judge.

Thank you for reminding me, Lord Luo.

Although I am not good enough,

I can only sit here.

[Fair and honest]

The Commander of Zhechong Prefecture, Bianzhou

is sitting

in the court of Youzhou

and hearing the case of Youzhou.

This is interesting.

Lord Luo is right.

Nothing can be done without rules.

I'd better go out.

Tumi,

do your best.

Don't let Lord Luo down.

Don't worry.

[Fair and honest]

Who are you?

I, Chun Tumi,

will speak on behalf of Shan Yi.

I, Tian Li,

will speak on behalf of Governor Luo.

Miss Chun.

What are you carrying on your back?

How disrespectful!

Guards!

Yes.

Take off the bag

from her body.

Slap her.

Yes.

Wait.

Look. Look.

Look at you!

How can you joke in court?

Give me the bag.

Lord Luo,

the thing in Youzhou

doesn't work.

Look.

Should we change it?

Or...

However,

I guess the torture tools in Youzhou

don't work in my hands.

Why don't you save your energy?

We'll talk about other things

after the trial.

This is the first time I've heard a trial

outside the door.

If Father finds out,

he'll praise Lord Luo

for teaching me,

a useless son.

Yes.

You are the Prince of Xian.

You can sit if you want.

No.

It's quite novel to stand there.

Don't bother.

Lord Han,

I'm glad you're here.

If Master sees this,

he will feel sorry for Miss Chun.

Don't worry.

I won't let her

be in an unfavourable situation.

[Fair and honest]

Miss Chun.

What is your appeal?

My lord,

I have two appeals.

First,

Shan Yi was implicated

in the burglary case of the secret vault.

He was wrongly imprisoned and confessed to false charges under torture.

Second,

the grave of Shan Yi's Grandfather grave was stolen.

The body has not been found yet.

I'm innocent.

I'm innocent!

My lord.

We're in a peaceful country.

Justice and human relations

are the foundation of our dynasty.

Now both are broken.

My lord, please investigate it.

Give Shan Yi justice.

[Fair and honest]

Lord Kang.

Miss Chun's appeal is ridiculous.

The use of torture in interrogation

is permitted by law.

As for the tomb being dug,

it was done by the grave robbers.

What does it have to do

with the burglary case of the Governor's Office?

How do you know it wasn't the lack of talent and moral integrity

of the Shans' ancestors that caused this trouble.

You're just a girl.

How dare you

come here

to speak of law?

Do you know when you write a complaint for others,

if the circumstances of the case

are inconsistent with the actual situation,

you will be flogged 50 times.

If the crime is aggravated after supplementary information,

you will be punished by a reduction of one degree for false accusations.

Of course I know.

Mr. Tian, thank you

for reminding me.

I may be stupid,

but I also know

a litigator can't frame others

or be wronged.

[Fair and honest]

Shan Yi.

Are you going to appeal?

Yes.

What Miss Chun said

can represent me.

What about

your confession?

I request a retry

and reverse my confession.

Other matters

will be decided by Miss Chun.

Okay.

Since you're seriously injured,

I'll spare you from kneeling.

Guards, bring him a chair.

Yes.

[Fair and honest]

Thank you, my lord.

Scholar Tian,

Shan Yi requested a retry.

Do you admit the appeal?

Of course not.

He reversed his confession

and disrespected the law of our dynasty in court.

You should punish him severely.

Mr. Tian.

Are you sure the confession that day

is the truth?

Of course.

It's all written down.

Everything in the world

is nothing but reason.

If it doesn't make sense,

even if he admitted it,

it may not be true.

Speaking of Shan Yi's case alone,

there are three reasons:

purpose, means and results.

But these three things didn't make sense.

There are contradictions and flaws.

Obviously,

he spoke nonsense

under torture.

Lord Kang.

Although the law of our dynasty has rules

that he can be tortured in court.

But torturing blindly

is not the attitude to pursue the truth.

Okay, tell me.

Which part doesn't make sense?

First is the purpose.

Why did this thief steal?

For money, of course.

But Shan Yi's family is poor.

He needed to rent ou the house

to support his family.

Mr. Tian,

you've never investigated the Shans, right?

Shan Yi's grandfather

opened a clinic.

After Shan Yi grew up,

he inherited the clinic.

They were very kind

to help people.

They even gave free medical service to the people.

Even though their life is bitter,

they still did good things.

How could

such a person steal?

Maybe he despises small money,

but likes big money.

Copper and silver things are attractive.

Maybe he is hypocritical.

He did those things for fame.

Mr. Tian, do you have proof?

If not,

you would have wronged two nice people.

I have evidence.

My lord.

This is the testimony

of Shan Yi's neighbors.

According to the neighbors,

[Hua Tuo's incarnation]

Mr. Shan.

Shan Yi and his grandpa are charitable.

When seeing poor patients,

they don't even charge them medical fees.

[Benevolent and kind doctors]

Thank you.

[Healing force]

Such a person

has no motive.

He couldn't commit

such a big case.

Although there is no motive

known to outsiders,

all signs

point to this person.

It's hard to know a person's heart.

Miss Chun, don't forget that

the secret tunnel found

in the Yanwu Hall in Governor's Office

leads to the Shans.

Your evidence is just a statement.

And this evidence

is the only hard evidence.

This is what I want to say.

Second

is means.

Yes.

The secret tunnel leads to Shan's Clinic.

But Shan Yi's statement also said

the room was rented

to a traveler who does business.

And his house

is divided into two courtyards.

In order to avoid disturbance,

there was a wall built in the middle.

What a coincidence?

They didn't build the wall sooner,

but built it

when the travelers came.

Let's forget about what's on the ground.

Let's talk about what's under the ground.

Digging such a big secret passage,

there must be earthwork, right?

Where did

the earthwork go?

From the Shans' house to Yanwu Hall,

the terrain is complicated.

You need a map to dig the secret tunnel.

Where did the map come from?

As far as I know,

the travelers living in the Shans' house

were living by selling snacks.

Three people went out to sell.

Seven people stayed at home.

They got up late

and they didn't go out for business until afternoon.

So they spent most of the time

digging a tunnel at home.

But,

to get the earthwork out,

how can they hide it from others?

Although Youzhou

has no curfew,

there are

guards on patrol, right?

There should be patrol soldiers

in the Luo residence.

Commander Luo.

Don't you think it's strange?

My lords,

can one person be convicted

only by a confession?

There is no lost property

of Commander Luo

in Shan Yi's house.

His grandfather's grave

was empty too.

How can you convict him?

My lord.

My grandfather has done good deeds all his life.

In the end,

his corpse was exposed in the wilderness.

So far,

we can't even find the body.

God is merciless.

God is blind!

God is blind.

But, my lord, you can see it.

Justice can see it.

If Shan Yi didn't refuse to open the coffin,

things wouldn't have

been like this.

He was secretive

which made the tomb raiders think

there's treasure inside,

that's why they dug it out secretly.

After all,

The reason his grandfather couldn't rest in peace after he died

is all Shan Yi's fault.

In this case,

even the people think Shan Yi is guilty.

So many

rich people's graves were not stolen,

why did they dig the Shans' grave?

Mr. Tian.

Commander Luo.

May I know the result?

There's nothing

in his grandfather's tomb, right?

Besides, what Commander Luo said is inappropriate.

Did you investigate

the opinions of every citizen?

You...

Chun Tumi, don't be rude.

Since Lord Luo asked,

you must have done

a thorough investigation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said it without evidence.

Yes.

Lord Kang is right.

You must be careful in the criminal investigation.

Otherwise

it might ruin

a person's future and fate.

How can we make a false guess

behind closed doors

like Mr. Tian?

Pat our head and say that

we understand everything.

Wouldn't that be a betrayal of

national laws and human principles?

Don't be proud when you get an official position,

and don't be ashamed when you lose it.

Don't say that an official is useless,

all matters of the locality depend on him.

What an official eats comes from the people,

as well as what he wears.

Don't think that people can be bullied,

you are also one of them.

Please look up.

You slaughtered people at your disposal.

How can you call yourself an official?

You...

Everyone knows who opened the coffin.

They just don't say it.

So there's nothing we can do with bad guys?

I want to sue Luo Li

for digging the tomb and stealing the coffin.

But not now.

The court is a kind of balance of

interests

and result.

Making Luo Li bear the crime of dereliction of duty

is the best result.

About earthwork...

Miss Chun, what's your opinion?

This is my third point.

In the end,

it will take a long time

to cover up earthwork.

Mixing the earth and wood together

and letting it corrode like a nibble

is the only way to make it invisible.

After digging the secret tunnel,

if they want to transport the earthwork out,

they must be familiar with the terrain of the Luo residence.

Besides,

they need to find out

the schedule of the patrol soldiers.

Lord Luo,

how do outsiders

know these things?

There is a saying that

it is difficult to prevent domestic thieves.

Since it's my family matter,

it has nothing to do with you.

Shan Yi.

Come with me

to the Governor's Office

and continue to cooperate with me

to investigate the burglary.

Miss Chun。

You're so insightful.

Just stay here.

Lord Kang will allow it.

This is the first time

that I have encountered

such a great difficulty.

If His Majesty knows,

he will

praise you

for helping him

share burdens for me,

a veteran of the two dynasties.

How shameless!

How dare he threaten me in court?

What's that sound?

[Fair and honest]

Now people outside know that

a female litigator is in Youzhou

to punish the evil and praise the good

for the people.

What?

Are you going to give up

when you're involved?

If you want me to stay,

I have nothing else to say.

But you have to tell me

what's in the secret vault.

Did the thief do it

for fame or for profit?

Only by knowing the purpose

can I tell his background.

Only by knowing his background

can I narrow the scope.

But no matter what,

it has nothing to do with Shan Yi.

It's useless to keep Shan Yi.

Just let me stay.

That makes sense.

Then, Chun Tumi stays.

I'll tell His Majesty the truth.

Chun Tumi,

you should report the case

to the capital in detail

so that His Majesty can rest assured.

How is your grandfather doing

in Bianzhou recently?

Why don't you bring him over?

When your family is reunited,

you can work in peace

with me.

Thank you, my lord.

Grandfather is very healthy at home.

The Chun family is quite famous

in the army in Bianzhou.

But

if the Chun family moved away,

I'm afraid the neighbors won't forget it.

Forget?

What does it matter if they forget it or not?

We are from a small family.

Of course it doesn't matter.

Bianzhou will be fine

without our family.

Youzhou won't be any different,

if we moved here.

But

Commander Luo made Bianzhou

lose a household of government soldiers.

Is there something hidden?

What the people is concerned about

is not the missing Chun family,

but

Commander Luo who made the Chun family disappear.

Lord Luo,

we are here

to investigate wrong convictions.

We won't interfere in

other things.

I invited Chun Tumi

to check the files.

As for catching thieves,

it is not her specialty.

What if I

insist on keeping them?

Shan Yi and I

are willing to do anything.

How about you, Lord Luo?

Shan Yi is filial and kind.

He's firm and upright.

As for me,

I just don't want to let

punishing evil and promoting good

become empty talk.

You must be

very impatient and angry.

You must think

I'm seeking death.

How dare I go against you?

But

if I

can't even save

such a kind person.

How can I

talk about law and morality?

My mother's wish is to punish vice and reward virtue.

I didn't understand

what she meant.

After this case,

I finally understand.

It simply meant

protecting good people

so that more people

dare to do good deeds.

Shan Yi is extremely filial.

He didn't violate the law.

You can't find the result on him.

So please show mercy.

Actually,

this case has already been closed.

However,

Lord Kang is meticulous.

He found something strange about the case,

so it was reinvestigated.

Since Shan Yi reversed his confession,

let's follow the law.

Thank you, Lord Luo.

Commander Luo,

for the sake of Shan Yi's filial piety,

please punish those guards

who neglected their duty

and help Shan Yi find his grandfather's body.

Okay.

Then

arrest all the guards

guarding the coffin that night.

Punish...

Punish them by military law.

Yes.

Youzhou's case

is best tried by

us Youzhou people.

Lord Kang.

You should hit the road as soon as possible.

I won't see you off.

Okay.

I hereby

acquit Shan Yi

and return his property.

Thank you, my lord.

[Fair and honest]

Thank you, my lord.

Get up.

I'm just a commoner.

That's all I can do for you.

When you find the body,

bury him well.

For the sake of safety,

I advise you

leave Youzhou as soon as possible.

Miss Chun.

I thought I would die here.

I didn't expect...

Please accept my bow.

Don't. Please get up.

Tumi,

you did a good job this time.

It's all thanks to

Lord Kang and Lord Han.

If you had no evidence,

we wouldn't be able to protect you.

Thank you, my lord.

Where is Lord Han?

Can I see it?

Who are you?

Are you crazy?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Where was I?

I forgot.

Forget it. Count again.

You're getting better.

You haven't recovered.

How dare you fight with

Han Wuwei downtown?

You're badly injured.

Why didn't you contact the Pavilion

and take some medicine first?

What?

You want me to serve you?

I'll get some water

for you to take the medicine.

I found the young master.

Where is him?

Don't move.

I'm exhausted.

Ye.

I thought you left.

How dare you

Luo Li?

Weren't you afraid?

Yes.

I didn't want to implicate my grandfather and father.

But thinking that you're here,

I was not afraid anymore.

All I thought about was

what you said.

Then I realized

my persistence is worth it.

I promised you

if you win,

I'll do one thing for you.

Tell me now.

Can you celebrate Double-Seventh Day (Chinese valentine's day) with me?

Sure.

See you then.

See you.

Are you blind?

I'm sorry.

The people of Youzhou are really kind and good-natured.

Thank you.

Miss.

What would you like?

Have you had enough fun?

Juzi just started to have expectations of you,

but you let him down.

Juzi intended to come in person.

Father...

I stopped him.

Do you know

the reason

why I came first?

The ink stone in Youzhou is fake too.

Juzi already knew.

He didn't trust you at first

and entrusted the mission to others.

In order to let you

take this mission,

do you know

how many words it took?

I won't fail.

Go back.

Your wound needs to be bandaged again.

Which quack

treated your wound?

So clumsy.

After learning for so long,

I still can't dress it.

It won't hurt anymore.

It's not well dressed,

but

I didn't feel any pain.

You've never been afraid of pain.

It should be dressed

like I did.

It's better this way.

You are good at medicine.

Do you know

how this medicine was made?

I have never studied

the antidotes in the pavilion.

I usually

study

how to crack poison.

But now we have the antidote.

Why are you still studying it?

I don't think it's right.

Your injury got worse.

Did you hurt yourself

in your previous rampage?

No.

Go back to the pavilion when you have time.

I think this medicine is strange.

I had clearly

curbed the mania.

But I still can't use my power.

Besides...

What?

If I didn't take the medicine,

after I get through it,

I can clearly feel

a lot of differences.

What differences?

Just tell me.

I'm so worried.

I can hear my heartbeat.

There's always

a warm feeling in my organs.

I almost caught him.

You were so close last time too.

Since you know

he's following us for the ink stone,

then you...

I'm sure

that person

came for Tumi.

Think about it.

If not,

why would he show up

near the court at that time?

Zheng.

Don't you think it's strange?

What do you want to do?

Are you going to investigate Chun Tumi

or use Chun Tumi

to lure him out?

Am I that despicable

in your heart?

Every time you face this person,

you lose your cool.

This is the reason

you keep losing to him.

Miss.

Where have you been?

I'm really afraid that

people from the Governor's Office will put a sack over your head.

We've only been in Youzhou for a short time.

You even know about the sack?

Lord Han taught me that.

Lord Kang.

Lord Kang.

At ease.

Lord Kang, what's the matter?

Have a good rest today

and start packing tomorrow.

Let's get ready to go.

Okay.

Although you offended Luo Li today,

you work for the imperial court.

Don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

I work for the people.

I'm just afraid...

I'm not afraid.

I'm not afraid either.

Don't worry.

I have a plan.

Luo Li has a high position.

It was not easy for us

to escape unscathed.

I'm just a little worried about Shan Yi.

What's your plan, Lord Kang?

I'll write a couplet myself

to praise his filial piety.

As long as my brush and ink are here,

even if Luo Li wants to do something,

he wouldn't dare to act too fast.

After Shan Yi

bury his grandfather,

I'll send a decree

to summon him to practice medicine in Chang'an.

I thank Lord Kang on behalf of Shan Yi.

Why are you so polite with me?

I'm just working

for the people.

[Double-Seventh Needle Threading Contest]

Come on.

Listen up, ladies.

Our store is holding a Needle Threading Contest

on Double-Seventh Festival.

The first prize is a brocade handkerchief.

For anyone who participates,

no matter if you success or fail,

our shop

have a small gift for you.

Welcome.

Take your love to compete.

Those who want to participate

come in and register.

How much for one?

Ten pence.

I want to register.

Waiter.

Bring the girl in.

Okay.

Please.

Lord Han! Lord Han!

Zheng.

How did the packing go?

I've sealed

work supplies.

I've returned the files of Youzhou

to the local government.

After confirmation

and the signing of a few documents,

we can leave.

Just pack up

work supplies.

Don't pack up

what you need daily.

We won't leave until the day after tomorrow.

How's your packing going?

There's nothing to pack up.

Before we leave, just ask Han Feng

to throw them all in the carriage.

Then the dark guard you put on my side

should also be removed.

Don't worry about that.

I'll make arrangements.

We have our own specialty.

If you don't have anything else,

I'll go check on Tumi.

Wait.

I'm going out too.

Where are you going?

We're on patrol.

We have expense quotas.

This time, Luo Li

hosted us in his residence.

The original intention is to save us from

the inconvenience of staying at the post.

If all goes well, there is nothing to worry about.

But now,

I have to clear

the finances with him.

Let me do it.

Leave it to me.

As a patrol officer,

stay away from money as far as possible.

If something really happens in the future,

it's not good to pin it on you.

Then will it be

pinned on you?

I'm good at martial arts.

I will dodge if they pin it on me.

Unlike you,

who will stand there

and reason with them.

Let's go.

Lord Han.

Lord Luo

appreciated your kindness.

In that case,

please clear them

one by one

and pay the money.

Tell me the total amount.

Consider the extra amount

a gift, okay?

How can I do that?

Lord Luo said

Youzhou has always been rich.

We can't take advantage of

Lord Han.

Rich？

On my way here,

we only met thieves in Youzhou.

Who knows

who stole

Lord Luo's secret vault?

I mean

I met a thief on the street.

The thief stole my wallet.

I was thinking

the Youzhou people are so poor.

I'll consider it a gift to him.

That's why I didn't ask people to find it.

Come here.

What exactly was stolen

in your secret vault?

You went through so much trouble, but didn't find it.

If you really can't find it,

you can be like me.

Take it easy.

Just think of it as

spend what's taken from people on people.

Yes, Lord Han.

There are many accounts.

Please take care of your eyes.

Guards!

Bring a candlestick to Lord Han.

He's still working on the accounts.

Don't be afraid.

It's me.

Cold needle.

Miss.

I brought the quilt you want to change.

Miss.

Miss.

You're awake.

Ye.

Watch out!

You are poisoned.

I'll take you out to detoxify.

I'll send you back later.

When will you stop

looking at each other?

Have you had enough?

Turn around.

He...

He can cure the poison from the cold needle.

That's ridiculous.

You exposed

our hideout to her.

Her father is a soldier.

People around her are either rich or powerful.

If she knows

our identities...

She won't.

All these years, you went through so much

and finally made it this far.

If we fail...

This is my business.

It has nothing to do with her.

In Bianzhou,

she treated me well.

I don't want to think of her

with the heart of a villain.

But you have to know

people like us,

the farther away we are from her, the better for her.

If anything happens in the future,

she won't be implicated.

Think about it.

Why was she poisoned by the cold poison?

And why would anyone want to kill her?

After we leave Youzhou,

I'll focus on my mission.

Ye.

Did I cause you trouble?

You saved me.

I owe you three lives.

Three lives?

But I only saved you once.

You just need to remember

I will save you three times

to pay you back.

How did you know someone wanted to kill me?

I happened to pass by the post

and saw a man in black sneaking in,

so I followed him.

What do you want to do

to celebrate the Double-Seventh Day tomorrow?

On the Double-Seventh Day,

people usually go to the fair and watch the stars.

I usually spend Double-Seventh Day

with my family.

Wait.

You just brought me out

without telling my father?

My father would be so worried.

Luckily, you came to find me.

Otherwise, I would still

be there checking the accounts.

His Majesty ordered us

to leave Youzhou as soon as possible

and stop tangling

with these people.

Okay.

Have you taken care of

the patrol regulations?

Don't leave any grip

to that person.

Don't worry.

There is one last section left before I wrap up.

Thank you.

Your Highness.

Something happened.

Hurry up.

Ye.

Don't worry.

I won't tell anyone

you saved me.

I'll pick you up tomorrow.

I'm leaving.

Be careful.
