[Episode 23]
His Majesty's edict is here!
His Majesty's orders.
Jiang Li's case of helping a prisoner and Xue Huaiyuan's corruption case
will be trialed together at the Court of Judicial Review.
Duke Su will be appointed as the imperial commissioner
to judge the case on behalf of His Majesty.
Ten days later, the case will be presented before His Majesty.
His Majesty will judge the case.
Long Live His Majesty!
Old Madam, don't worry.
Have some pear soup.
Master Jiang,
Did you meet His Majesty successfully?
What did His Majesty say?
His Majesty wouldn't meet me at all.
That's...
What did His Majesty mean?
His Majesty is forcing me to avoid suspicions.
There's no need to worry, Master Jiang.
Tomorrow, I'll enter the palace and hear what Consort Li has to say.
I'm sorry to trouble you for running around because of this.
What are you saying?
As your wife,
I know what's at stake.
This is not just about Li's life
but also the Jiang family's reputation.
I will never ignore this.
It's great for you to think that.
It's pitiful that Li has been locked up at the Court of Judicial Review.
It is extremely bad for the Jiang family's reputation.
I've also heard some rumors
when I'm living here.
They said the children of the Jiang family are no longer pure
after they've been locked up.
Even the Jiang family isn't innocent.
Mother.
It's not that I don't want to save her
but she is really...
That's...
We are not necessarily helpless in this case.
What are you talking about?
Previously, there was a rule of the yamen in the capital.
If a woman commits a crime,
as long as she doesn't kill her husband or children,
she can be
taken care of back home
by her husband or family members
and await for her summon.
The Court of Judicial Review might be great
but it is still a yamen in the capital after all.
Since Li is not married,
she can be taken care of by us at the Jiang residence.
Good.
I'll write a note to the Court of Judicial Review tomorrow.
There's no need for you to write.
You've worked hard and long
to deal with the Dingzhou issue.
It's better
for the women of the Jiang family to do something like this.
You mean...
Don't worry.
I will bring Li back.
[Court of Judicial Review]
Duke Su has been reminding me to be steady over and over again
but I still failed unfortunately.
I guessed it
but I didn't guess you'd be so pitiful.
Aren't you a particular person?
Don't you find this place dirty?
I'm tired
so I'll be resting here.
I heard you've been appointed to supervise the trial.
You came here but you don't ask anything about the case.
Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will punish you?
You've been asking me since I came inside.
Aren't you tired?
Yes.
I'm quite tired.
The Dengwen Drum
signifies a ruling before His Majesty.
You are forcing them to back you into a corner.
You've overexerted yourself.
It's not my first time doing this.
It's not necessary.
Duke Su,
do you know anyone who died because they were wronged?
Father, wake up!
Father!
Father!
Wake up, Father!
If you are given an opportunity,
will you sound the Dengwen Drums
in front of the Chang'an Gate for their sake?
♪The falling snow is bitter cold♪
♪My sigh misted the path in front of me♪
♪The moonlight knows my intention♪
♪I just want to make a place for me in your heart♪
♪The snow falls eternally♪
♪Who can escape the humiliation of time?♪
I think you'll do it.
Enough.
The trial is over.
That's all?
Yes.
Haven't you said what you wanted?
I'll be leaving.
Rest well.
♪Quietly building a pond in my heart♪

This is not a place where you should come.
As the wife of the Secretariat Director,
it's not right for you to show yourself here.
Don't restrict me with these words.
I've been managing the Jiang residence for more than a decade.
Although I can't see most things in the yamen,
I still heard about many things.
Now that you have my daughter here,
do you think it's unreasonable for me to ask about her?
If you just want to meet the criminal,
I can help you with that.
However, you are here to take her away.
Forgive me for not allowing that.
I just want to ask you two questions.
One.
Does your job as a magistrate
obey the law of the Great Yan?
Naturally.
Two.
When a woman commits a crime,
as long as she doesn't murder her husband or children,
she can be brought home
to be taken care of by her husband or family members
while waiting to be summoned
before the trial.
Is this one of the laws of the Great Yan?
Well...
Yes.
In that case,
why can't I step foot in this place?
I came here today
because I insisted on picking up my daughter.
I want to see
who dares stop me.
Someone!
Yes.
Bring Second Lady Jiang here.
Yes.
I'll be waiting here then.
Duke Su.
What is it?
The Secretary of Judicial Review
asked us to hand over the criminal to be taken care of by her family member.
We are here to bring her out.
Mr. Zhou,
she has been brought here.
Madam Jiang.
According to the law of Great Yan,
she will be handed over to the Jiang family to be taken care of.
If she goes missing or if you hide her, you will be punished.
Thank you, Mr. Zhou.
Don't simply move.
Just leave with me.
Mother, why are you here?
I don't know why you returned to Luyang
and insisted on overturning the magistrate's case
but I know
your father has grown a lot of grey hair
because of you.
Will you be able to face your father and the Jiang family?
As your mother,
I can't ignore your father
and the honor of the Jiang family.
When you return to the Jiang family,
you can explain it
to your father and Old Madam.
You are right, Mother.
Grandmother,
I have returned.
Good.
Sit.
Do you know why your father isn't going to meet you?
I'm sure
father was very worried about me regarding the Dingzhou issue.
I caused such a big trouble.
I'm sure Father is angry at me.
You are not related to the Xue family's magistrate.
Why would you get yourself involved in such a case?
You even brought so many villagers back to the capital
and risked your life
together with the future of the Jiang family.
Magistrate Xue's daughter, Xue Fangfei.
She's my savior.
When I was in Zhennyu Hall,
I was mistreated by the Mistress
and almost lost my life.
It was Xue Fangfei who saved me.
Something like that happened?
I went to Luyang
not only to visit my close ones
but also to meet my savior.
However, she passed away at a young age.
Her father was in danger
and I couldn't ignore him.
Li,
I won't stop you if you want to repay a debt of kindness
but did you have to do that?
I know.
I am a part of the Jiang family.
Every move I make will affect the Jiang family.
So, it wasn't my intention to act recklessly.
I only wanted to go to Huaixiang to meet my benefactor at first.
After I arrived at Huaixiang,
I accidentally discovered that the new magistrate
was lawless
and exploited the people.
You didn't see it.
Huaixiang was a prosperous place
but it fell to a state
where people dared not step outside of their homes during the day.
It was very sad.
Grandmother,
you told me
the family rules set by Grandfather.
Protect justice
and righteousness
instead of being greedy for temporary fame.
It's exactly because I am a part of the Jiang family
that I can't ignore the people
who are aggrieved and suffering.
I'm very happy
to see you have such integrity.
However, you could tell your father
and let him handle this.
There was no need for you to put yourself in danger again and again.
I was forced to do that.
The new Huaixiang magistrate
I told you just now
was from the Li family.
What?
In the Soochow Brocade incident at the Ye family in Luyang,
someone purposely poisoned the Ye family.
I wrote a letter to inform Father about that.
I also found clues in Luyang.
The Li family is most probably the mastermind behind this.
Are you going to overturn the case for a criminal next?
Since ancient times,
there have been countless wronged cases.
Only a few could be overturned.
If you help a death row prisoner escape
and can't overturn the case,
you'll be executed.
Grandmother,
I've gotten Xue Huaiyuan's corruption dossier.
The case is a mess
and full of flaws.
Besides, if Magistrate Xue is guilty,
there won't be so many people
entering the capital with me to make an imperial complaint.
The new magistrate supported by the Li family
bullies the people
and is nefarious.
The people hate him.
I'll tell your father about this.
Thank you, Grandmother.
What?
The magistrate of Huaixiang is someone from the Li family?
I'm not wrong.
The Li family and the Jiang family have been enemies for so long.
Over the years,
the Li family has been nurturing its faction.
Meanwhile, the Jiang family is not as powerful as it used to be.
I'm sure you know this better than anyone else.
The Li family has made their move now.
Are we going to turn a blind eye to it?
No wonder Li Zhongnan wrote the memorial himself.
He wanted Jiang Li dead.
You've finally understood.
If Xue Huaiyuan's case can be overturned,
we can hurt the Li family's morale indeed.
However, Li Zhongnan will also have a grudge against us.
When he gets an opportunity in the future,
he will take revenge on the Jiang family like crazy.
If you don't do anything,
will the Li family stop hating us?
They started the whole thing
and they've harmed the Ye family.
Who is the Ye family?
They are our relatives bonded by marriage.
If we don't do anything,
how will the people view the Jiang family?
Although Li does things with her passion alone
and seemed reckless to hit the Dengwen Drum,
His Majesty said he would judge the trial himself.
That means His Majesty also thought
there was something wrong with Xue Huaiyuan's case.
Doesn't that give us a chance to counter?
Shuran has brought Li back now.
We have nothing to be afraid of.
Since it has come to this,
we should help Li
and strike the Li family.
Did you miss out?
What do you mean?
I thought you came back late
because you went to the Court of Judicial Review's prison
to see Jiang Li
who looks the same as your late wife.
Hold it!
You are so boring.
You can't be teased at all.
Help me take a look
and see which outfit makes me look better.
Help me take a look.
Which outfit makes me look better?
All bright colours suit you.
Don't you prefer plain colours?
That's because I'm lowly.
All right.
I'll choose the red outfit.
I'll wear it
to meet Second Lady Jiang.
Your Highness,
why are you going to the trial tomorrow?
I'll be there to add salt to the wound.
I hope you don't start a fire
and end up burning yourself.
Shen Yurong,
I've tolerated you for a long time.
Your Highness, please turn around.
I'll help you tidy your sleeves.
I've always wanted to know
that if given another chance,
would you bury Xue Fangfei
or kill me?
I'd rather
die in Your Highness' hands.
[Taiji Hall]
Second Lady Jiang.
Why isn't Jiang Yuanbai here with you?
I think you've gotten used to the Court of Judicial Review prison.
You've become brave now.
I'm sure you are Grand Chancellor Li.
Thanks for your concern,
I've been released from prison.
The Secretariat Director has always been a steady man.
I didn't expect her daughter
to be courageous.
Now that you've become capable,
it's really surprising.
That's too much praise, Grand Chancellor Li.
It seems like Second Lady Jiang is confident.
Are you sure you will get me involved
in today's matter
which is why you don't feel scared at all?
What are you thinking?
Are you thinking about how I know about this?
Let me tell you,
Second Lady Jiang.
There's nothing in this world
that I don't know of.
You are too naive
if you plan to play tricks
behind my back.
Even your father dares not do that
but a young girl like you
acts so greedily.
Are you not afraid
that you might die a cruel death in the end?
Grand Chancellor Li, are you reminding me to leave you a way out
and not back people into a corner?
Second Lady Jiang, you are brave.
You are so much better
than the two incapable sons of mine.
I wonder how long can you keep your bravery up.
After today's ruling before His Majesty,
I'm afraid Jiang Yuanbai
will have no choice but to abandon you.
Grand Chancellor Li.
Duke Su, you are early as well.
I was standing far away
and couldn't hear you clearly.
What were you saying to educate Second Lady Jiang?
She even said something about leaving you a way out.
I was rude.
Second Lady Jiang,
what you said comes from the art of war.
It's aggressive.
If you meet someone old
such as Grand Chancellor Li in the future,
you must speak cautiously.
Yes.
Duke Su, you take good care of her.
Not really.
I'm just better
at teaching someone than you, Grand Chancellor Li.
We still don't know the results of today's trial.
Second Lady Jiang is still confident now.
I hope she can still smile the way she does now
when the trial is over.
Farewell.
Duke Su, thanks for helping me in a crisis once again.
This is not a crisis
for you.
You can't say that.
At least, I can see
that Li Zhongnan comes prepared.
In that case,
I have to tell you something in advance.
Relax.
I'm not planning
to hand you over to the opponent yet.
If Duke Su says that,
I'll need to offer my thank you gift.
I've been trapped in my residence recently.
I sewed the handkerchief you asked me to sew.
Your embroidery is good.
My embroidery cannot be compared to the one who sewed your handkerchief.
I didn't even dare sew it at first
because I was afraid I would ruin the feelings of the dead.
You've learned about my background?
Duke Su, your father, General Xiao, is a famous general of our kingdom.
He was a soldier his whole life.
The whole world knows that.
Madam Yu loved her a lot.
She was also a woman to be respected.
What about your father?
What about me?
Grand Chancellor Jiang.
Grand Chancellor Jiang, I'm sure you work hard
and love the people.
I have something to say to my daughter.
Father.
You've suffered.
I thought you wouldn't forgive me anymore.
You are my daughter after all.
Your grandmother told me all of your thoughts.
Don't be scared later.
Just say anything on your mind.
I have your back.
Thank you, Father.
[Prosperous Era] His Majesty is here!
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Everyone, stand up.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
[Prosperous Era]
Regarding the Huaixiang Magistrate, Xue Huaiyuan's corruption case,
it was supposed to be judged by the state court
and the dossier was handed to the Ministry of Justice
to be closed.
Due to the people of Huaixiang doubting the result of the case,
they have appealed for him.
His Majesty understands the people's pleas
and ordered the Ministry of Justice to hand the case to the Court of Judicial Review.
It will be hosted by the Secretary of Judicial Review
and judged together
with the Ministry of Justice.
The trial today
will be supervised by His Majesty.
Zhou,
you may begin.
Yes.
Summon Second Lady Jiang.
Summon Second Lady Jiang!
Summon Second Lady Jiang!
I, Jiang Li, greet Your Majesty.
Stand and speak.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Second Lady Jiang,
did you bring the people of Huaixiang into the capital
because of
the corruption case of Xue Huaiyuan, the Huaixiang magistrate?
Secretary of Judicial Review,
Half a year ago,
the Huaixiang magistrate, Xue Huaiyuan,
was accused by the magistrate's guard, Feng Yutang,
for embezzling the court's money.
He was judged to be executed after the court's trial
and was awaiting his execution.
I went to Huaixiang to visit a friend
and accidentally discovered there was more than meets the eye to the case.
According to my understanding,
All of you
rushed into the Huaixiang county yamen
on the day when Xue Huaiyuan would be executed
to take him away.
Do you admit to this?
I admit.
Do you know that the action is a serious crime?
I know.
It was a last resort.
If we didn't do that,
Xue Huaiyuan's grievance and the suffering of Huaixiang's people
will never see the light of day.
I will take responsibility for the crime I committed.
But I hope Your Majesty and all officials
can help Magistrate Xue redress the injustice before convicting me.
Who was in charge
of Xue Huaiyuan's case at the Ministry of Justice?
[Prosperous Era]
I was in charge.
I remember
the dossier of this case was not complicated.
Ten crates of silver were found in Xue Huaiyuan's residence
which totaled 5,000 taels
and a private ledger.
Along with the testimony from the county magistrate, Feng Yutang,
we had both evidence and a witness.
There was nothing strange as Second Lady Jiang mentioned.
Second Lady Jiang went to Huaixiang personally.
I think she had discovered something unknown to others.
Since you are trying to overturn a case for a criminal,
please present new evidence before His Majesty, Second Lady Jiang,
and let us judge.
I have no new evidence.
How dare you.
Since you have no new evidence,
how dare you bewitch the people
to come to the capital and sound the Dengwen Drum
and force His Majesty to retry the case?
Second Lady Jiang,
are you underestimating Your Majesty?
My daughter is not done talking yet.
Why do you feel anxious?
Since I can't present new evidence,
I will change my request.
Your Majesty,
I came all the way
with the people of Huaixiang to sound the Dengwen Drum
not to help Xue Huaiyuan get acquitted
but to ask Your Majesty to convict him!
Silence!
Convict him?
What do you mean?
As you all know,
there's concrete evidence to the Huaixiang magistrate,
Xue Huaiyuan's embezzlement.
He is a worm in the government.
Your Majesty prioritizes integrity.
How dare a mere magistrate of Huaixiang
be so daring?
Imprisonment and execution cannot appease the people's anger.
I think
he should be punished by slashing with a thousand knives.
Didn't she say she is overturning the case?
Is she admitting defeat
because she has no evidence?
Xue Huaiyuan might have a lowly position
but he is still an official of the Great Yan.
He has been an official of Huaixiang for a decade.
He only got found out with corruption last year
and the evidence was just a mere 5,000 taels.
Ten years
and only 5,000 taels.
I don't think the number is right.
How is it wrong?
For ten years,
he has been an official with integrity
or should I say his corruption was perfect?
Perhaps he was working with someone else
to transport the money.
The last 5,000 taels left was only the leftover amount.
Where's the other money?
The Ministry of Justice did not investigate
and it was not recorded in the dossier.
Perhaps he used the money to purchase soldiers and horses.
Then, he should be suspected of treason.
The Court of Judicial Review killed him without investigating this.
If you think carefully,
aren't you worried?
We must investigate it in detail.
However, we have no new evidence
to reinvestigate this dossier.
What should we do?
That is why
I brought the people of Huaixiang to the capital.
I want to summon witnesses.
Approved.
Summon the witnesses!
[Prosperous Era]
Kneel!
Regarding the Huaiyang Magistrate, Xue Huaiyuan's corruption case,
what do you have to say?
Your Majesty,
I don't know about Magistrate Xue's corruption case.
I only know...
Raise your head and speak.
I only know that both my daughter and I would be bullied
and killed
if it wasn't for Magistrate Xue.
After my husband died,
I was raising my child alone.
When we were at our most difficult period,
Magistrate Xue used his own salary
[Inner Tranquility] to subsidize us.
He Jun,
help them clean the place.
If someone dares bully them,
punish them according to the law.
Yes.
Ping'an.
Go and thank Magistrate Xue.
Hurry.
[Inner Tranquility]
Thank you, Mr. Xue.
All right.
It's fine now.
No one dares bully you again.
If Magistrate Xue didn't sponsor me,
I might still be illiterate.
My house was poor
and couldn't study.
Magistrate Xue was generous
and gave me money
so I could return to the academy
and become a scholar.
Gu Da.
Give him money to study.
Get the money from my salary.
Yes.
Mother.
Son.
I can study again.
Yes! That's great!
They said the pork I sold
was poisonous.
If it wasn't for Magistrate Xue,
my ancestor's assets would've been stolen by the bullies.
Stop!
I wanted to pay Magistrate Xue
but he refused.
Your Majesty,
please investigate it.
Magistrate Xue will never do something corrupt.
Magistrate Xue is a good person.
Yes!
Magistrate Xue is a good person.
He wouldn't do something like that.
Yes!
These are just their testimonies.
If they were paid
to speak for the corrupt officials,
it wouldn't be something too difficult.
Zhou,
you need to be careful.
Secretary of Justice, you are right.
A corrupt official
will not do so much for the people.
I'm sure these people were bribed
and spoke nonsense.
Please summon other witnesses.
Summon the witnesses.
Kneel!
Magistrate Xue paved my entrance's road.
There was a flood
and Magistrate Xue did not return for three days.
Magistrate Xue gave me money to treat my illness.
Magistrate's Xue's grace...
Magistrate Xue's kindness...
If it wasn't for Magistrate Xue...
Your Majesty, please investigate it!
Your Majesty, please investigate it!
Every incident sounds touching.
They remind me
of the corruption case three years ago by the Qingzhou Magistrate.
The magistrate embezzled a huge amount of money back then
and used a small amount of money to help the people.
When we seized his assets,
there were also many people
who knelt and plead
for him.
Secretary of Judicial Review, you supervised the case.
Have you forgotten?
I still recall it.
Grand Chancellor Li, you are right.
He spent a small amount on the people
and a big amount on buying lands, right?
The Great Yan does have such a greedy official.
Feng Yutang is one of them.
After Feng Yutang became the Huaixiang Magistrate for half a year,
[Prosperous Era] He bought furniture for himself.
His family members are wearing jewellery.
They live a lavish lifestyle.
Xue Huaiyuan was a magistrate at Huaixiang for ten years.
I'm sure he has more assets than him.
Half a year ago, Xue Huaiyuan was imprisoned
and his assets were seized.
I request the censorate
to announce the assets seized from the Xue family
and the Feng family.
Show everyone
how much worse
Xue Huaiyuan is compared to Feng Yutang.
Censorate, please present both their family's assets.
The former Huaixiang Magistrate, Xue Huaiyuan
had no houses and lands
when he was a magistrate.
The amount of money seized from his residence
and his total assets amount to a total of 5,000 taels.
The current Huaixiang Magistrate, Feng Yutang,
has more than 40 houses when he is a magistrate.
The number of fields he owned has not been recorded yet.
[Prosperous Era]
After investigation, his houses, fields, and savings,
exceed a total of 200,000 tales.
200,000 taels?
[Prosperous Era]
He has more than 200,000 taels?
A complicated 200,000 taels
and a clean 5,000 taels.
In that case,
Magistrate did not even leave himself
a piece of roof tile in Huaixiang.
He only embezzled 5,000 taels.
The money was also exchanged into ingots
and put into crates
in his own residence
waiting for the Ministry of Justice to seize them.
He is indeed an example
of corrupt officials.
Stop using your eloquent words.
No matter how much
and how he got the money,
he is still corrupt.
Secretary of Judicial Review, please summon other witnesses.
Summon the witnesses.
[Prosperous Era]
Your Majesty,
we were the guards of Huaixiang
when Magistrate Xue was in charge.
Magistrate Xue stayed in Huaixiang for ten whole years.
He never acted corrupt.
After he was imprisoned,
all of us who knew the truth were confined in a mine.
Your Majesty!
We are willing to guarantee with our lives.
If we tell a lie,
our clans should be annihilated.
We are willing to guarantee with our lives.
If we tell a lie,
our clans should be annihilated.
We are willing to guarantee with our lives.
If we tell a lie,
our clans should be annihilated.
We are willing to guarantee with our lives.
If we tell a lie,
our clans should be annihilated.
[Prosperous Era] We're willing to guarantee with our lives!
If we tell a lie,
our clans should be annihilated!
No matter what,
it is true that Xue Huaiyuan is corrupt.
As Second Lady Jiang mentioned,
he should be punished with a thousand slashes.
Hold it.
Jiang Li,
keep talking.
The Huaixiang Magistrate, Xue Huaiyuan committed a crime.
When he was in charge for ten years,
his crime apart from embezzling the disaster relief funds,
is that had almost no desires,
calm,
responsible,
and upright.
It's hard to find a corrupt official like him.
So, when he was on duty,
he would have more plans and evil actions.
When he was on duty,
where did his money go?
Building dams and footpaths, and bribing the people.
He is trying to embarrass
the good officials of the capital who live a lavish life
and own millions of mu of land.
He is shameless and arrogant!
Xue Huaiyuan's crime must not be forgiven.
I request Your Majesty
to punish Xue Huaiyuan with a thousand slashes.
In that case,
Xue Huaiyuan did not commit a crime
and even contributed instead.
I request
for the Huaixiang Magistrate, Xue Huaiyuan to appear in court.
Xue Huaiyuan is a witness as well.
I want Your Majesty
to see what Magistrate Xue looks like now.
Approved.
Summon Xue Huaiyuan.
[Prosperous Era]
Your Majesty,
this man is Xue Huaiyuan, the Huaixiang Magistrate.
He was imprisoned by Feng Yutang
and was tortured.
He is now mentally confused
and behaves like a child.
What a pity that an upright official
ended up like this.
If news of this spreads,
how many upright officials will feel scared?
How many people
will swear loyalty to Your Majesty?
How dare you, Jiang Li?
How dare you doubt His Majesty?
Second Lady Jiang's statement
is similar to mine.
Kind advice is hard on the ears.
Second Lady Jiang's words might be out of line
but they sound reasonable.
If we abandon the upright officials
and only use the corrupt officials,
the kingdom will be in ruins.
Duke Su is right.
I'm not someone who can't hear honest words.
Jiang,
you raised your daughter well.
Such an upright official who loves the people
was falsely accused and sent to prison.
Now, he is in such a pitiful state.
This is my fault
and a loss for the Great Yan!
It is all of our crimes!
Stand.
Wei Qian!
You misjudged a case.
Do you know your crime?
I deserved to die!
I didn't know there was
such a nefarious person
like Feng Yutang.
Zhou Dezhao!
I order you to reinvestigate Xue Huaiyuan's corruption case.
Those who are involved in harming Xue Haiyuan
should be punished severely!
Yes.
Jiang Li,
you are brave and wise.
You impressed me again.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Stand.
Xue Huaiyuan's case has been cleared.
Zhou, you should judge
Second Lady Jiang's case of escaping with the criminal.
Your Majesty.
My daughter is reckless
but after hearing the truth
about Xue Huaiyuan's case,
I'm reluctant to punish her for what she did that day.
A good official's death
does not just trouble the official
but every official's morale.
My daughter made a grave mistake
but she saved a good official whom I couldn't save.
At the hall today,
I...
I feel shameful.
We are shameful!
[Prosperous Era]
We are shameful!
We are shameful!
We are shameful!
We are shameful!
We are shameful!
We are shameful!
We are shameful!
We are shameful!
Zhou Dezhao,
what do you say?
Your Majesty,
Since Xue Huaiyuan is wronged in his case,
that means he is not a criminal.
So, there is no truth
in Second Lady Jiang helping a criminal escape.
It is reasonable.
Jiang Li,
I forgive you for your crime.
The Court of Judicial Review will close your case and you may go home.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Stand up.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Does Xu Huaiyuan have children and family members?
I want to compensate them.
Xue Huaiyuan has one son and one daughter.
As far as I know,
his son, Xue Zhao,
was killed by bandits in the capital.
His daughter, Xue Fangfei,
is Mr. Shen's late wife.
This is too cruel.
When I found out my father-in-law was corrupt,
I was shocked.
Now that I've learned
that he was harmed,
it pains me
now that I recall.
Father-in-law.
Father-in-law.
It must be tough for you.
Ye Shijie.
Magistrate Xue,
it's all right.
It's fine now.
Magistrate Xue,
it's all right.
It's fine now.
Mr. Shen, please forgive him.
You've not met Magistrate Xue for a long time.
I'm afraid he can't recognise you anymore.
Zhou,
Magistrate Xue is in shock,
can I take him back to rest?
You may leave.
Who wrote this script?
It's really cruel.
What do you mean?
The father is corrupt.
The daughter was in an affair.
The son died in an accident.
The whole family faced a disaster one after the other.
Isn't this common in storybooks?
What storybook?
Framing
and killing a witness.
Framing?
Was Mr. Shen's late wife framed
for having an affair as well?
That's not necessary.
Duke Su is brave.
He dares say anything.
Duke Su,
I'll leave this to you.
Investigate the truth behind the Xue family's death
and prove the Xue family's innocence
so Mr. Shen can be relieved.
Yes.
Interesting.
[Prosperous Era]
How interesting.
This is such an interesting court trial.
Why didn't Your Majesty call me?
An investigation is not child's play.
Why did you come here?
I have something important to inform you.
Second Lady Jiang has a sharp tongue.
She has successfully overturned
the Xue family case.
What a pity that while Your Majesty was feeling outraged
by your officials being harmed,
have you thought
that you were also fooled
like a donkey?
Wanning,
don't speak nonsense.
What a coincidence.
I heard Mr. Shen's wife
was Huaixiang's most talented lady
so I got curious and went to take a look.
Indeed.
Mrs. Shen has a unique face.
It is rare indeed.
So, I was shocked
when I saw Second Lady Jiang
because she looks exactly the same
as Xue Fangfei.
