[Miss Chun is a litigator]

[Episode 20]

Just stay here for now.

I'm sure

you won't be put in prison now.

Lord Han put in

so much effort for you.

He is very protective of you.

You and Han Wuwei

are not my family.

You don't have to

do so much for me.

What are you talking about?

Tumi,

do you like my brother?

If you don't,

why are you so kind to me?

I...

Of course I like your brother.

But my kindness to you

has nothing to do with me liking your brother.

Ayili.

Just remember

you are a lovely girl.

So you deserve

to be treated well.

I'm not

a lovely girl.

It's just that

you've never seen

my

unlovely side.

How can you say I've never seen it?

How can you say you did?

I've never seen you.

But I have seen your brother.

You two are quite alike.

But you express it differently.

Your brother

doesn't like to talk.

He kept everything to himself.

You

make everything

upside down.

Actually,

you just held on

and didn't want to show weakness.

Who are you talking about?

It must be hard to be alone outside.

But don't worry.

You won't be alone anymore.

We'll be with you.

Why are the girls outside

so cheesy?

I thought

you were different from them.

How is that cheesy?

It's wrong to be nice to you?

Go to sleep.

You've been working for Mowu Pavilion.

[Support Juzi to become the monarch]

All these years,

what did you do?

[Attack the Imperial City]

To run Mowu Pavilion,

there must be outlaws.

Since I was young,

I practiced martial arts with those kids.

Once we grew up,

we had to fight each other.

And the top ones

will be selected as White Ghosts.

Those kids

are still young.

Threatening and tempting alone

might not work.

The officials I dealt with

were all criminals

with extreme cases.

What the Pavilion needed to do

was to find

key evidence of evil

or to kill

major figures.

They called this

upholding justice.

Only by grabbing their hearts

can we command them

over the years.

Father

is not born a cold person.

In the history of Mowu Pavilion,

there were times

when he acted foolishly.

But without

the Grand Secretary's incition,

he wouldn't have made a mistake

and be used by the Grand Secretary.

Without me,

Mowu Pavilion

would have ceased to exist,

let alone stand up to the imperial court as an equal.

Unfortunately,

it was the son of Juzi

who destroyed Mowu Pavilion

with the imperial soldiers.

Although I'm the son of Juzi,

I'm not like him.

The reason I stayed there

is just that

I have family that is hard to leave.

If Juzi knows,

should he hate me

or

his own son?

Now everything

is gone.

In this world,

only Tumi and Li

are my concerns.

If I can find out

everything

and let them live better

and stabler,

it'll be the best result.

This Yaksha has too many things

out of his command.

Poor thing.

Did your interrogation of the Grand Secretary go well?

Tumi and the others

are waiting for Yaksha to come home.

I'll take him home.

What's wrong?

You seem troubled.

I'm just tired.

It smells like stinky overnight steamed buns.

It's all rotten.

Get changed.

Brother.

All right.

Welcome home.

This is the house

Lord Kang found for you.

Do you like it?

Yes.

This is our home now.

Yes.

Home is

where family

and friends are.

In the past,

I always thought

as long as I work hard,

I can let Li live

with father's care.

Yesterday,

Ayili was standing here

watching these

and talking about you again.

She smiled happily.

She said

we should always look forward.

Ye,

I may not be able to

feel for

the things you went through.

But

I will be with you.

No matter how much time you need

to get over those pain,

I'll always be by your side.

When I was recording the testimony,

they asked me

if I've been

living like a living dead

who only know about carrying out missions.

At that time,

your face appeared in my mind.

In fact,

you changed my life long before.

It's all in the past.

In the future,

you'll meet many good people.

They will see the good in you

and cherish you.

But no one will

cherish you more than I do.

You lost

a lot of love.

But now you have me.

I will give you back

all the love and care

and squeeze away the shadows.

In the past,

I always wanted

my father's recognition

and gave up a lot.

But now,

I won't let you down again.

Ye.

Remember,

as long as you grab your fate

in your own hands

and live a good life,

I'll not be let down.

You're free now.

I can give you

whatever you want.

All I want

will be in my hands.

Ye.

I'm so lucky

I met you in Bianzhou.

You saved me.

Meeting you

is my luck.

Is this your attitude

towards your savior?

What savior?

Do you have any evidence?

You need evidence for everything.

You should

have some sense.

You need to be romantic?

You little girl.

What do you know

about romance?

Shameless.

It's none of your business.

You're leaving anyway.

You know I'm leaving?

Of course.

Your house is not in Luoyang.

Don't you need to get married with

the daughter of the five families?

We're not in the capital.

How can there be so many

girls from noble families

for you?

I don't want to listen to your long speech.

My speech is long?

I haven't finished yet.

When are you leaving?

I'll see you off.

I wanted to get along with you

before you leave.

Looks like it's not necessary.

I have the nine-magic face-cleansing mud

of UNIFON,

dried fruits and nuts of Qingyun Hall,

silk brocades

of Du’s Silk Store

and playthings of Wen's antique shop.

Since no one wants them,

I'll throw them all away later.

You...

No.

Lord Han, you misunderstood.

Come to Luoyang when you have time.

I'll treat you to dinner.

There is no need

to get along with me?

Yes.

Of course.

You are one of my best friends and family.

[UNIFON]

I've long heard that

this is very effective.

[UNIFON]

[Confession from the Grand Secretary]

Everything Mowu Pavilion did

were manipulated

by Juzi and Yaksha.

[Confession from the Grand Secretary]

If it's correct,

this confession

will be the evidence in court.

If you speak

according to this then,

maybe

there is still a way out.

Life or death

is up to you.

Han Wuwei,

you have to sign

the arrest warrant.

Even if the Grand Secretary wants

to reverse his confession at the last moment,

we need to verify it.

Is whatever he says

the truth?

Of course, we need to investigate.

What's the use of

you?

You'll be killed.

You...

I want to interrogate the Grand Secretary again.

Do it.

But not here.

Then where?

Chang'an.

This is His Majesty's order.

So from the beginning,

His Majesty wasn't looking for the ink stone.

You only told me half of

what's in the secret edict.

If the emperor doesn't speak carefully, he'll lose the trust of his ministers.

If a minister doesn't speak carefully, he'll bring disaster to himself.

If you're not careful with important things,

it will cause harm.

I told you that before.

Zheng.

You forgot about the plan

to use the inkstone as an excuse

to lure out Mowu

and wipe them all.

But His Majesty is the Emperor.

If he wants to destroy Mowu Pavilion,

why did he have to go through so much trouble?

If he just wanted to destroy a Jianghu organization,

he didn't have to.

The key lies in people.

Who is Juzi?

Zheng.

There are some things

people like us can't control.

Whether we know the truth or not

doesn't make any difference.

[Arrest Warrant]

His Majesty wants him.

Juzi is dead.

But his son is still alive.

But have you ever thought about

how will you face Tumi

if you do this?

[UNIFON]

I didn't want Ayili to worry,

so I didn't dare to ask you.

Why do you dare to take the task of the government office?

Aren't you afraid?

It's okay.

The tasks are

just to fight bandits.

But there are so many of them.

You don't have any help.

In the past,

it was very dangerous.

But after their boss died,

they were

in a state of disunity.

I just need to catch them separately.

Then the problem is solved.

But it will take longer

to get the bounty.

Isn't that

what supporting a family is all about?

Why are you laughing?

I'm not laughing at you.

I'm just surprised.

The top assassin in Mowu Pavilion

has started to

think about supporting a family.

Ye.

What task did you take?

Tell me.

Let me see if there's anything I can help.

Just searching for gangsters

and lost official seals and others.

The hardest part

is

to distinguish whether their information is true.

How?

Miss Chun, do you want to change your profession?

I’m just asking.

Maybe it will help me

solve cases in the future.

What information do you think

is the hardest to distinguish?

70% true and 30% fake ones.

It's 100% ones.

100% ones?

Isn't that completely true?

What's so hard about it?

Not really.

It should be 120%.

The 20% that disappeared

is because the former 100%

is true.

That's why people can't tell.

In the end, you lose everything.

That makes sense.

[UNIFON]

Ye,

what tasks

did you take before?

I thought, when you were on task,

you only needed to...

How is that possible?

I used to go astray,

but

I was not

a little thief who robbed houses.

I can't just be aggressive

all day long, right?

I've handled many tasks

related to the imperial court.

But the last step

is usually the simplest.

That's why I needed...

So,

The hardest part is to distinguish the real from the fake.

What's the first step

to be a litigator?

End the patrol.

Say goodbye to Lord Kang first,

sort out

the previous cases

and start my own business.

But Mowu Pavilion

suddenly disrupted my plan.

Lord Kang is busy interrogating the Grand Secretary.

He has no time to see anyone.

So I have to wait and wait.

Didn't Lord Kang

already finished the trial?

Yes.

I thought he was interrogating the Grand Secretary.

That's why he didn't invite me.

Have you seen the person who interrogated the Grand Secretary?

Could it be Lord Han?

What about you?

Who interrogated you?

Lord Kang.

How could it be

Lord Kang who interrogated you?

The Mowu Pavilion case is such a big case.

Lord Kang received the imperial edict.

The Grand Secretary is the main culprit.

There's no way Lord Han,

such an inexperienced person,

was the one to interrogate him.

Ye.

Don't you think it's strange?

It's okay.

There's always a way.

When Lord Kang is finished with his business,

when you see him,

you can ask him.

Brother, let's go to the front.

Okay.

Lord Han,

why do I feel

you have a lot on your mind today?

Really?

Tumi.

Look.

Do they look like

our family of three?

The one in the middle is me.

The one on the left is you.

The one on the right is my brother.

Yours is the prettiest one.

I liked it at first sight.

In the future, I'll put them

in the most eye-catching place.

Nice.

Lord Han,

what do you think?

The colors are not bad.

But the workmanship is rough.

They're not decent.

I knew you would say that,

so I didn't buy yours.

It saved me five strings of coins.

Why are you so stingy?

I gave you so many things,

Why do you have to save money on this?

I'm responsible for the finances.

Of course, I need to be careful when planning and budgeting.

Let's go.

Colored figurines.

Come buy colored figurines.

Young Master, do you want a colored figurine?

Boss.

Was there a little girl

who bought three colored figurines here?

Young Master,

there were many girls

who bought colored figurines

from my stall.

Which one are you talking about?

Her face is round.

She has big eyes.

She looks pretty when she smiles.

Wait for me.

Here.

That girl

asked me to give this to you.

For me?

Yes, that's right.

It's for you.

She also said

if a young master

comes to buy colored figurines with drooping eyes,

just give this to him.

She also asked me to tell you that,

in the future,

don't frown

and don't be downhearted.

When you're free,

take this

joyful colored figurine

and smile more.

All your worries will be gone.

Okay.

Is this the last one?

I think so.

Miss Chun.

My lord.

Is Lord Kang looking for me?

Lord Kang hasn't finished the trial.

He won't see outsiders for the time being.

Lord Han has a gift

for Miss Ayili.

For me?

Yes.

Miss Ayili.

This jade is priceless.

His Highness had it on him everyday.

Now he gave it to you.

Miss Ayili, please keep it

carefully.

Maybe,

there will be use for it in the future.

Okay, I got it.

Please thank Lord Han for me.

I will keep it carefully

with me.

Goodbye.

Han Wuwei has such good taste.

Since he carried it everyday,

it must be valuable.

When we can't

make ends meet,

let's take it to a pawnshop.

We will certainly get a lot of money.

Brother.

Did you find a job?

What is this?

It's a gift from Han Wuwei.

Didn't Lord Han just give you

a bunch of toys?

Why did he give you

such an precious thing again?

What?

Is this very precious?

Leave him alone.

He's not smart.

He’s weird every day.

Li.

Lord Han is older than you.

Besides,

he helped you

escape from the Grand Secretary's chase,

and brought you

out of

the Mowu Pavilion case.

You owe him a lot.

Don't just call him

by his full name.

Got it?

Yes, brother.

I'll call him Lord Han from now on.

Take it.

You said he was acting weird.

What made you think that?

How should I put it?

He is quite a contradictory person.

He doesn't get along well with me,

but if I'm in trouble,

he will help me.

Sometimes he's quite mature.

Sometimes,

he do things without discretion.

What did he do to you?

Not to me.

Last time when father was cremated,

I saw

him secretly pressing on

an acupoint on father's neck.

I shouldn't have asked him for help.

He was so careless.

He pressed him so hard.

Which acupoint did he press?

Brother.

Do you mean somewhere

near Fengchi acupoint?

Which acupoint?

Fengchi acupoint

is a necessary acupoint for facial disguise.

Are you suspecting tha Lord Han

was checking whether your father's body

was fabricated?

Maybe he's particularly meticulous.

Brother.

Any news about the Grand Secretary?

As long as he's still at large,

my heart will beat quickly.

Don't worry.

If there's any news,

Lord Kang and Lord Han

will inform us.

Isn't this the reward notice?

What are you doing with it?

To make money

and buy you legal books.

Sister.

This is for you.

I saw that

you wanted to read it yesterday.

There is military emblem on it.

What Lord Han gave you

was not a jade?

Then what is it?

This is Prince Xian's seal.

Anyone with this seal

can get through without impediment

between the regions.

If this is so useful,

why did he give me this?

We live in Luoyang now,

and we don't go far.

Even if I go far,

no one will stop me.

Although this jade

is useless now,

my brother said

when I see Lord Han next time,

I'll thank him face to face.

Did Ye say where he went

when he left just now?

He said he went to discuss things with Lord Han.

My lord, Yaksha is here to see you.

How did you know?

Fengchi acupoint?

Did Ayili tell you?

She is naive.

She may be carefree,

but

she can find

what we can't notice.

You are a good brother.

You are so cautious.

The task

wasn't Mowu Pavilion,

but my father.

Did you really send my father's skeleton

to Liurong Temple?

You interrogated the Grand Secretary yourself

and gave the important seal to Li,

because you knew I had something to do with it,

so left us a way out.

Since you guessed it,

you shouldn't have come.

You should have escaped.

With your martial arts skills,

where in this wide world

can't you go?

I knew it.

Father is dead.

I'm the only one you want.

I just don't understand.

The late emperor abolished a Crown Prince.

He was wise and easygoing.

Later, he was abolished because he made a mistake

and angered the late emperor.

This dethroned Crown Prince

should have spent his life

in the confinement.

But one night

decades ago,

the Eastern Palace was on fire

and he disappeared.

If there was such a person,

do you think

he will be the sore point

of the successor?

Later I learned that

after the dethroned Crown Prince disappeared,

he changed a lot.

Unfortunately,

such a wise

and easygoing person

didn't reflect on his faults.

Instead, he built his own army

and wanted to take everything back.

Although he is dead now,

his children are implicated.

The winner takes all.

He's not worthy of sympathy.

I just pity his children.

His children are innocent.

His children didn't know

what he did.

So what?

If we don't destroy the roots,

there will be a big trouble.

If you were the successor,

what would you do?

Will you let Li go?

Will you run away?

In the past,

I would.

It's not the life I chose.

It has nothing to do with me.

From now on,

I'll live an ordinary life,

isn't that great?

But now,

I have a family I want to protect

and someone I love.

I can't run away.

If I run away,

I won't have the chance

to stand by their side this life.

You were born into the trap.

You'll die for sure.

Lord Kang.

You know Yaksha is innocent.

This is unfair to him.

You signed the arrest warrant

but you didn't release it.

That means you hesitated.

You thought he still has hope,

right?

I want to fight for it.

If you trust me

and the law,

it is more important than anything.

Please help me.

You have no choice but to run.

Forget everything in the past.

Go east or west.

Don't show your identity as Yaksha.

Going away

is your only way to live.

Tumi's dream

is to be a litigator.

If I run away,

what should she do?

Forget her.

You part ways from now on.

I can let Ayili go

and help you persuade Chun Tumi.

I have a clear conscience.

I don't need help.

Why are you here?

Ayili can't get

the seal Lord Han gave to Ayili.

Your tasks

are mostly related to the imperial court.

You must know.

Why didn't you say anything?

You told me not to think too much.

There's always a way.

Do you want to bear it by yourself again?

No.

You want to turn around, leave

and face it alone, again?

Since I met you,

I only have you in my heart.

There are things

I don't want you to

bear with me.

I finally

can stand beside her openly.

I will never destroy everything

with my own hands.

So you want to go to Chang'an for trial?

Since you want to interrogate me,

it means I have

things

you want to know.

As long as I have a chance to defend myself,

I still have a chance to survive.

Let's see if what I can give you

is more than

the interests I will bring you if I die.

The Supreme Court is in charge of the Mowu Pavilion case.

Lord Kang ordered me

to act for Yaksha, the main criminal.

Please allow us

to go to Chang'an.

Juzi is dead.

The Grand Secretary thought of Yaksha as

the only person in charge of Mowu Pavilion.

All the actions of Mowu Pavilion

was instructed by Yaksha.

All the evidence

has been sent to Chang'an.

You have no chance

to reverse the case.

I won't let you get involved in this mess.

This case is different.

It's not a court trial as you imagined.

Since it's a court trial,

it means the imperial court

still cares about reputation.

I must fight for it.

It's only natural to pay with your life for murder.

Mowu Pavilion took money

to eliminate disasters for people.

Legally speaking,

Yaksha is not intentioner

but the executor.

A crime committed by a powerful person can be mitigated.

As long as it's not a death sentence,

I can make up for my mistake.

The people Mowu Pavilion

assassinated or bribed

were not ordinary people.

There were many dignitaries

and officials among them.

If he violated any one,

he would die for sure.

Why were they bribed?

Why were they killed?

If the victim was a high-ranking official,

it proved that the person who had a conflict of interest with him

was also an important official of the imperial court.

If we can find a moth of the country

and bring him to justice,

it's a contribution.

The more cases

like this there are,

the lesser the punishment.

Chun Tumi,

the road you choose is the hardest one.

The path that makes everyone suffer.

I want to take the difficult path.

The darker it is, the more righteous it should be.

If you fight evil with evil,

you will never

live under the sun.

In the name of law,

I'm willing to

argue and get Yaksha and Ayili

upright identities.

Let them live in an upright manner

under our dynasty's law.

Tumi,

you want to fight

against the Supreme Court

and His Majesty alone?

The one you want to fight

is the side

that you wanted to serve all along.

If they want to destroy your faith,

it will be as easy as pea.

The laws you believe in

are made by them.

You won't regret it

even if your faith is subverted?

There are no choices in life.

But you will become someone else's pawn,

are you willing?

Knowing that the one holding the pawn

is His Majesty,

are you afraid?

Okay.

Then, I'm not afraid either.

We choose our own path.

Ridiculous.

I shouldn't have

take you on patrol

and let you have such a delusion.

Without me

or Kang Zhengyuan,

do you think you can

solve so many cases smoothly?

Lord Han is right.

You shouldn't have

taken me on patrol.

You shouldn't let me get involved in the cases,

or let me know

I can do it myself.

The first thing you shouldn't have done

is to praise me

when I defended innocent people

with law.

I studied law since I was a kid.

I studied day after day. I never slack off.

Lord Han, I'm a girl.

I didn't study women's virtues or needlework.

Why?

For scholarly honor or official rank?

It's because I believe

if the law was broken, social order will be in chaos.

The law is the foundation of a country.

It is the only support

for people to have a good life.

The laws I copied

is taller than

Lord Han.

I've memorized

the laws you made.

So when Luo Li threatened

to kill me

and my family,

I didn't back down.

Lord Han,

have you ever thought that

I didn't back down when things went your way,

would I back down

when things didn't go your way?

Since people are willing to risk their lives

to protect,

abide by

and defend the law,

they won't compromise

to anyone.

That's who I am.

I'm willing to risk everything

to act for Yaksha on court.

Naive!

So naive.

You can say I'm naive and ignorant.

I'm not afraid of manifold ordeals.

I left a letter before this trip.

If the result is bad,

I won't contact my family.

I won't implicate them.

Yaksha treated me with sincerity.

If I abandon him

because he's facing

powerful opponents,

how can I face him?

Someone has to have no regrets

even if he loses his head.

Only then can people believe that

the law is not just

cold clauses,

it's the guarantee to protect their lives

when they are in danger.

Those who protect the dignity of the law

have affection and faith.

They abide by the law but are not afraid to fight authority.

Lord Han,

please take me to Chang'an

to defend Yaksha.

Are you sure

you can handle the consequences?

As long as Yaksha's trial is in public,

as long as you don't deprive

our last chance,

we can.

I'm not afraid of taking the responsibility.

I'm not afraid

of any consequence.

Fine.

Let's see

how far you can go.

Guards!

Arrest the prisoner, Yaksha.

Take Chun Tumi

to Chang’an for trial.
