[Miss Chun is a litigator]

[Episode 16]

[UNIFON]

He's so handsome.

[UNIFON]

Let's go.

Ye.

Have you found him?

Yes.

Great.

Although I'm the litigator of the Xu family,

I should be on the Xu family's side,

but as long as he's not found,

I feel uneasy.

It's okay. Don't worry.

Ye, let's go in.

Try it.

Okay.

Why are you laughing?

I'm laughing at...

Forget it. Forget it.

How can you only say half of it?

You have to finish the second half.

It's not anything good.

I want to hear it.

I was laughing at

you being childish.

I didn't.

I didn't.

It's those two girls.

They were obviously...

Their behavior was inappropriate.

If that was inappropriate,

then we're

inappropriate as well, right?

All right.

Now I'm the one inappropriate.

Young lady.

You have good taste.

What you like

is face-cleansing mud.

This is the last one

in our store.

If your husband wants to buy it,

he has to hurry up.

No.

We are not....

This is

the signature of UNIFON.

This face-cleansing mud

is extracted from hydromica (illite).

It is obtained by

repeated precipitation and filtration

for 180 days by elutriation.

Every year,

the output is extremely limited.

Most of them are sent to the palace

for the empress, concubines and princesses.

The fact that you can buy

the last one

means you're really lucky.

Since it's a unique piece of luck,

and it's offered to royalty,

it must be very good.

You've worked hard on the case.

I'll buy it for you as a gift.

How much is it, boss?

One tael of silver.

[UNIFON]

Han Wuwei.

Are you a coward?

As a man,

you stay in your room everyday

and never leave the room.

You only ask your subordinates to deal with me.

Others might think you are embroidering.

Are you all

deaf and mute?

Miss, take a rest.

Don't tire yourself out.

You...

Fire!

Fire!

Help!

Help!

This is really not me.

Not bad.

I feel relieved

now that he's found.

Everything is sweet now.

Thanks to your judgment.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have found him so soon.

You should not just thank me.

You're so logical with things.

You're even better than the constables in the government.

Really?

You are very talented

in handling cases.

Didn't anyone say that?

Ye.

When you're done with your thing

and tired of Jianghu,

you can be a constable.

We can become partners

and do

promising things.

Okay.

Come with me to the court.

Han Feng and the others are waiting there.

Lord Han is finally free.

The storage room on fire

is very close to your place.

You'd better behave yourself.

If you're afraid to be stuffed into

a roasted pig in this room,

then you go first.

I'm lucky anyway.

I'm not afraid.

It wasn't me this time.

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

Help!

A court official has become a lecher.

Don't worry.

I'm not interested in you.

Let's go.

Han Wuwei.

Are you still a human?

Hang in there.

Finally, someone is willing to save you.

Whether it's you

or the others of Mowu Pavilion,

as long as you help me find out

what I want to know,

you'll be free.

Free?

Yes.

Free?

What?

Someone came to save you.

Are you unhappy?

How do you know

they came to save me today?

Let's make a bet.

Bet on what?

Whether the person here today

came to save me

or to kill me.

You have nothing on you.

What is your wager?

If you win,

I'll be your servant

at your disposal.

I don't need another servant.

Since I'll be at your disposal,

I'll tell you everything

about

what you want to know.

Good.

I'll bet with you.

Wait.

You haven't listened to

my conditions.

In the country,

there are few things

that I can't promise you.

Good.

You're really straightforward, Lord Han.

I'll be straight with you then.

If I win,

you

will be my protector.

If I'm in trouble,

you need to

keep me safe.

What do you think?

A gentleman's words

are quick as a whip.

Over there.

Go!

After everything

is ready tomorrow,

I'll blow on this leaf

as the signal.

If you hear it,

you can be at ease.

I'm leaving.

I'm really leaving.

Why don't you give this to me?

I'll learn how to blow it later.

Use this.

Bye.

Jinyi.

Ayili.

Ayili is in Han Wuwei's hands.

Hurry!

Grand Secretary.

It's time for him

to take the antidote.

Check

if he took the medicine.

Yes.

[Mu'ai Hall]

My lord.

Last time, Mr. Wu

hired by Madam Xu said,

he thinks that Old Master Xu is still alive.

I agree with that.

Although his reason is not valid,

we might as well

think from another perspective.

What do you think, Miss Chun?

My lord,

can you summon the witness to the court?

Send the witness in.

My lord.

They are...

They are the witnesses

when Fan Jian fell into the water.

They are all cooks and waiters

of nearby inns.

Yes.

I have a question for you.

Fan Jian was facing an inn

where he fell into water, right?

Yes.

Yes.

Is there anything special there?

There is

nothing special there.

There's a small dock.

I have another question.

While Fan Jian shouted

and ran to the lakeside,

a group of well-meaning people

followed him, right?

Yes.

Yes.

Did you see

who was the first one behind him?

We only wanted to save people.

Who cared who was the first?

Yes.

Did you see clearly that

after Fan Jian fell,

did he swim up?

It was dark,

but no one

came out of the water.

What a grievance this must be!

Yes.

This place is very cold at night.

If anyone falls into water now,

they'll be freezing

and couldn't walk,

let alone run away.

Otherwise, why didn't they find him?

If I were Fan Jian,

and wanted to design a fake death

to gain some benefits,

what would I do?

Miss Chun.

We're in the court.

This is not a child's play

for a girl like you.

Go home now

and ask your father

to find a husband for you.

Yes.

As a woman,

why do you want to be a litigator?

There's no such practice in history.

That's right.

How dare you!

Miss Chun.

If you

really can't say anything serious,

why not...

Let me tell you

a story,

so that everyone here

can judge

the possibility.

Once upon a time, there was a man.

He was a well-mannered scholar.

But he always felt that he was not born in the right time,

and felt frustrated for all his talent.

He didn't want to live poor

like before.

Coincidentally,

his parents and brothers

loved money.

So they gave him an idea.

They persuaded him

to be a living-in son-in-law

in a rich man's house in this county.

A rich lady liked him.

It was done.

They lived together for 22 years.

His wife was rich,

but her personality was very strong.

The man's family not only loved money,

but they were also greedy.

They wanted to take advantage of the man

to lead a good life.

So every time this man asked for money,

he would be scolded by his wife.

As time went by,

the man couldn't stand it anymore.

He had a plan

to frame his wife

and put her in jail.

In this way,

he could control

all the money in the family.

Impossible.

He wouldn't dare.

Really?

So,

the man had a plan

and wanted to fake his death.

First, he went out

in the excuse of travelling.

Then he pretended to be missing.

When the time came,

he let his wife

go to the inn for him.

They had a big fight.

He pretended

he was stimulated,

ran to the lake, fell into the lake and died.

Of course,

he needed a spy

for this series of arrangements.

This spy had to stay

by his wife's side for a long time,

report his wife's whereabouts to him

and inform him immediately.

May I ask,

besides his wife's old maid,

was there a better choice for this spy?

Madam Wang?

Madam Wang

was the man's spy.

Madam Wang.

No way.

Madam Wang hinted that the man's wife

look for him in the inn,

and then informed the man.

So the man proposed

about taking a concubine,

which caused his wife to be furious.

They started a fight.

The man naturally acted

as if he was stimulated.

He went to the lakeside and jumped off the lake.

That way, Madam Wang

became the biggest witness.

But in fact,

someone did fall into the lake.

There was also proof that

the body didn't float up.

What?

Was it a coincidence?

There should a corpse after death.

If a person didn't die,

where would the body come from, my lord?

This was

a meticulous fraud.

Yes.

That makes sense.

There should a corpse after death.

We didn't see the corpse.

Yes.

Like what Miss Chun said,

how did he

hide from so many people?

Could it be that

he has a doppelganger?

My lord, have you heard of

spider and horse traces?

If he was so meticulous

to notice spider traces,

what was left to hide?

However,

there is no perfect crime in this world.

He would definitely leave something behind.

But we haven't found it.

What is the clue?

Tell us now.

Yes.

Seeing is believing.

If you are curious,

let's go to the lake

when it gets late. You'll know.

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Move!

Move!

Move!

The man did it

to attract more attention.

Then there would be more witnesses.

My Lord.

Did you see his face

at that moment?

It's too dark to see clearly.

Besides, he ran so fast.

There was no time to see clearly.

But I noticed

he was wearing a white middle clothing.

He was wearing a white middle clothing with his hair down.

It would be more eye-catching in the dark that way.

Those kind people who chased him

would only notice these,

but can't see his face clearly.

They didn't know

what he did either.

My lord, let's go this way.

My lord, look.

There are so many goods bags on the dock.

And that man was obviously

very familiar with the terrain.

Look at the bags.

It's big enough to block

one's body.

And the stone over there

is shaking.

You need a rope to get it fixed.

Help!

Help!

Over here!

Over there.

Here.

Where?

Over there.

Where is he?

He fell from here.

He fell.

Is there anyone who can swim?

Help!

Let me see.

I don't know how to swim either.

Hurry up, find people who can swim.

What was he upset about?

Find someone!

Hurry up!

Who is it?

Are you okay?

Help!

He was right here. Hurry!

Hurry up.

Get someone!

Who can swim? Help!

My lord, look.

It's too dark.

He had a helper.

Who could it be?

Brothers fight tigers together.

Father and son go to war together.

It was Fan Bai.

These are all your guesses.

Do you

have any evidence?

My lord,

I have a witness's testimony.

My lord.

The three waiters

from nearby inns

all said in their testimonies that

on the afternoon of the incident,

they saw Old Master Xu

appear by the lake

wandering.

He went back and forth many times.

As for the physical evidence,

Few people went to the lake after the incident,

so the evidence is still intact.

If you have any doubts,

you can send someone to check them one by one.

Your testimony

can only prove that

Old Master Xu appeared by the lake before the incident.

It can't prove that Madam Xu

didn't force him to jump into the lake.

As for the physical evidence you mentioned,

it could also be fabricated

by Madam Xu

to clear her name.

The problem now is

whether Fan Jian is dead or not.

No corpse was found.

It can't prove that Fan Jian is dead.

At the same time,

it can't prove that

Madam Xu is innocent.

So, Miss Chun,

do you have

more powerful evidence?

My lord.

The evidence you want is outside the court.

My lord.

Someone put a box

outside the court.

Bring it up.

Yes.

What's in

such a big box?

What's in it?

What is this?

We should open it and see.

Open it.

It's open.

What is this?

You...

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

You...

Don't...

Don't be rude.

Why is there someone inside?

Yes.

This is a person.

Who are you?

I am

Fan Jian.

He...

He really faked his death.

In my opinion,

both of them

are not good.

They must be locked up.

Yes.

Lock them up.

Lock them up!

Lock them up!

Lock them up!

Fan Jian,

do you admit your crime?

Yes,

I admit.

My lord, I'm ashamed.

I can't believe I acted for

such a petty person.

But the law of our dynasty stresses

rule of morality with its priority to penalty,

taking respecting etiquette, law, human relations

and educating the people as the first task.

Now,

Old Master Xu is deeply regretful.

He didn't commit a murder

or a serious crime.

Why don't you give him a chance

to talk to his wife?

If they can understand each other,

it's better than them turning against each other.

It'll be a slight atonement for his sins

under your correction.

Okay.

The court is adjourned for the moment.

Ye, are you hurt?

No.

You went to catch Fan Jian.

How did you get hurt?

It's not him.

It's my own business.

Don't worry.

Tumi.

Father.

This is...

Lord Kang's subordinate.

Why is he dressed like this?

Lord Kang is afraid that I'll expose my position,

making people think

the government is biased.

Lord Kang is so thoughtful.

Tumi.

Lord Shan is looking for you.

Go and take a look.

Go ahead.

I have something

to tell your father.

You have something to tell me?

Yes.

I accidentally found something

when I was helping Tumi with the case.

The less people know about this, the better.

I can't tell Tumi.

Xiaoqin went to a house.

There were old maids, young maids

and a seven or eight-year-old child.

Old Master.

Come in.

Did anyone see you?

No.

I was so worried.

Old Master.

Xiaoqin.

Thank you.

I thought

I would never see you again.

No.

Relax.

What took you so long?

I wonder if Chun Tumi

noticed something.

She asked Chun Dashan

to spy on me

from time to time.

Chun Dashan.

Let him take care of himself.

Madam Xu said

how deeply she loved Chun Dashan.

But shee couldn't stand loneliness.

When she was in the Xu family,

someone made her pregnant.

Chun Dashan

is a busybody.

This time,

let him be a pushover

to raise someone else's child.

Xi is crying.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

It's my hope that

you won't feel pity this time,

and you can make a decision in your heart.

All right, let's go.

Let's go.

Go.

Tumi.

What did Lord Shan say?

Old Madam and Master

didn't reach a consensus.

Lord Shan has returned to the city.

A judgement will be made in the next trial.

This family is ridiculous.

I thought

the Xu family was just snobbish.

I didn't expect that...

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have provoked them.

By the way,

how did he find

Old Master Xu?

Since I suspected that Old Master Xu was not dead,

I've been thinking about this.

We've met

Fan Bai before, right?

He can act shamelessly.

But when he does,

Old Master has to testify for him.

So I asked him

and Lord Kang

to keep an eye on the Fan family.

In this way,

we found Old Master.

I see.

Father.

What were you talking about?

Kid.

Mind your own business.

Let's go.

Now I'm

a kid again.

Let me out!

His lordship said

to let you rest in the room.

If anything happens,

his lordship will take care of it.

Let me out!

As you expected,

you're injured.

It's just the blood of the assassin.

Aren't you afraid of nothing?

Why are you

pretending?

Think whatever you want.

I just don't want anyone

to get hurt because of me.

You think too much.

I'm not doing this for anyone.

I'm just doing it for

what I want to do.

I also have

what I want to do.

I've always wanted to see someone.

He has had a hard life.

I want to see him soon

so that he can be free.

Will you keep your promise?

Will you help me?

Since I lost the bet,

I won't go back on my words.

If you help me,

I'll help you too.

Did you keep him alive?

I didn't find him alive.

He either committed suicide or ran away.

This is only the first round.

If they don't kill me,

they won't give up.

The assassins of Mowu Pavilion are indeed powerful.

If they send another batch,

the defense here

can't hold on.

I have an idea.

What is it?

Zheng.

Mowu Pavilion sent first-class assassins

to assassinate Ayili.

It's not safe for her to stay here.

I'll take her

to Luoyang Villa.

As for other matters,

I'll explain to you when you arrive in Luoyang.

What is the identity of Ayili?

Did Lord Han leave any message?

Well...

Lord Han didn't tell me.

He only said it was too dangerous,

so he took her away

to ensure her safety.

How many people did he bring?

If anything happens on the road,

can he handle it?

All the secret guards and Lord Han Feng

followed him.

I'll send my two teams of bodyguards

to catch up with them

and protect them together.

Yes.

Although now

we are tied together,

there are some rules

I have to explain to you.

For example?

For example, I don't like

people speculating about me.

No one speculated about you.

You were the one

uneasy all the way.

If I had the time,

I'd better think about

what you want to tell me

and how to find the one I'm looking for.

Have them all figured out.

You're not stupid.

You should know how I will deal with things

and how to be on guard.

Whether to take the initiative

or to set a trap

depends on how much

useful information you tell me.

Grand Secretary.

At ease.

Where's Ayili?

We're one step behind.

There's no trace of Ayili

and Han Wuwei at the post.

Han Wuwei ran away.

Did you tell anyone

about this?

No.

I didn't find Young Master,

so I came to you immediately.

Someone alerted the enemy.

When our men arrived,

we only saw traces of fighting.

How is that possible?

Did Han deliberately

cheat and mislead us?

Guards!

Listen to my dispatch from now on.

Depart for Luoyang, Youzhou

and Bianzhou.

Track Miss Ayili's whereabouts respectively.

Yes.

White Ghost has also started off.

Since the young master's accident,

they have been led by Juzi

about the matter of Ayili.

Juzi was involved too?

Jinyi,

I'll take care of Ayili's matter.

You stay here

and wait for Young Master to come back.

Don't tell him yet.

I know you and Young Master

are close.

But Young Master has an important task.

He must find the ink stone.

Don't distract him.

When I find Ayili,

I'll let them see each other.

Then we'll tell him

what happened.

It's better for everyone

this way.

Miss Chun.

Captain Chun.

I didn't have the chance to tell you my name in court.

My surname is Mei.

Mr. Mei.

What can I do for you?

Old Master Xu wants to

meet you.

What should be the sentence

for Old Master Xu framing his wife?

Lord Shan has his own decision.

Why does he want to see my daughter?

After all,

it's just a couple's feud.

He didn't make a big mistake.

It doesn't have to be tried in court, does it?

What Old Master Xu meant was

this is a family matter,

it's better to settle it in private.

Lord Shan, do you think

it's more appropriate to do so?

Lord Shan.

Yes.

Old Master Xu

is now in prison.

Without your permission,

I wouldn't dare to invite

Miss Chun to see him.

Since he wants to settle it in private,

he should talk to Madam Xu.

It's okay.

Father.

Since it's Lord Shan's idea,

please come with me.

Miss Chun, if you have any questions,

just ask.

I want to ask you.

Mr. Mei, did you

know the truth from the moment

he took the Fan case?

The conclusion was made yesterday,

and you already have a backup plan now.

Obviously, you are well-prepared

and experienced.

How dare you have no regard for

justice and law at all!

Do you want to say

since ancient times,

being a litigator

is not a glorious thing.

It's just that employers paid us

to get rid of hard cases.

Whether it's to say black as white

or the other way aroung,

it doesn't matter.

Because the ultimate goal

is to win.

If you win, you earn money.

The truth doesn't matter.

Indeed.

You didn't do bad things yourself.

What do those victims' sufferings

have to do with you?

Miss Chun, you must think

litigators not only exist

for money,

they should uphold justice

and help the weak.

If rich and powerful people

can disregard fairness and justice,

or even cover up the truth,

the world

will be dark.

But what does the darkness

has nothing to do with me?

The darkness didn't start from me

or end for me.

Indeed.

People of different aspirations cannot get along together.

A litigator is not a big talent,

but you you should at least

have justice in your heart.

If there is no justice in this world,

and the world is dark,

none of us

can survive.

Miss Chun.

You're going too far.

You may think

if the world is dark,

people will suffer.

But what I'm thinking is

after the Fan family case is done,

has my wife

made beggar's chicken

and warmed the wine

to wait for me to go home for dinner?

Let's talk about the recent things.

The case was just concluded yesterday.

Today, Old Master Xu

asked us to meet him in prison.

Did you plan this

from the beginning?

[Laishui County Government]

Stop!

Officer.

[Laishui County Government]

Tumi,

you have done your best

to clear Madam Xu's name.

Why do you want to get involved in this?

Father.

Mr. Mei

is pressing me with Lord Shan.

He must have bribed with money.

He went to such lengths.

I want to know

what Old Master wanted to do.

Besides,

I also want to know

whether Laishui County Government

is honest and upright or corrupted?

Money makes the mare go.

Men and women were put in one prison.

And there were no guards.

I wonder how much money

he spent to talk alone.

Why are you here?

Do you think we want to come?

Madam.

Don't forget.

If it weren't for my daughter,

this man...

His evil plot has succeeded.

We don't want anyone to repay us.

But we don't just listen to

people's cold words

I asked them to come.

Dashan,

we are family.

Now we need an explaination

for this family matter.

I invited you here

as witnesses.

In case, someone regrets

in the future.

Who's your family?

I didn't expect

I've been planning for more than ten years.

It was cracked

by you, a little girl.

I underestimated you.

If you don't want others to know,

then don't do it.

Just say what you want to say.

We have business to deal with.

Okay.

Let's each take a step back.

I will

ask Fan Bai to withdraw the charges.

You don't accuse me either.

Let's use enough money

and let the government

erase the scandal.

Then we all move to Youzhou.

The Xu family has property

and a lot of land there.

In a few years, people will forget about it.

By then,

a lot of good days

will be ahead of us.

Look.

What do you think?

Live a good life?

If I don't sue you for a life sentence,

people will call me merciful,

let alone live with you.

Are you out of your mind?

It seems you don't want to live with me anymore.

To be honest,

I've taken over

half of your business and management.

I dare to talk to you like this today

is because I have this support.

We used to love each other,

if you want to live a good life, let's do it.

No.

No one will have a good life.

You wish.

Fine.

I'll go to jail with you.

Chun Dashan.

Give me a brush.

I'll sign a pledge.

I'll give all the property

of the Xu family to you.

Live a good life

with my daughter.

Stop laughing.

Dashan,

do you know why I called you here?

I just want you to know

what the Xu family and your wife

really are.
