His Majesty's orders.

Jiang Li's case of helping a prisoner
and Xue Huaiyuan's corruption case
20

will be trialed together
at the Court of Judicial Review.
21
00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:12,370
Duke Su will be appointed
as the imperial commissioner

to judge the case
on behalf of His Majesty.
23

Ten days later, the case

Did you meet His Majesty successfully?

What did His Majesty say?
31
00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:41,090
His Majesty wouldn't meet me at all.
32
00:02:41,980 --> 00:02:42,490
That's...
33
00:02:43,210 --> 00:02:44,420
What did His Majesty mean?
34
00:02:48,180 --> 00:02:49,900
His Majesty is forcing me
to avoid suspicions.
35
00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:51,610
There's no need to worry, Master Jiang.
36
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:54,300
Tomorrow, I'll enter the palace
and hear what Consort Li has to say.
37
00:02:54,610 --> 00:02:57,180
I'm sorry to trouble you
for running around because of this.
38

What are you saying?
39
00:02:59,260 --> 00:03:00,860
As your wife,
40
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:02,420
I know what's at stake.
41
00:03:02,610 --> 00:03:05,020
This is not just about Li's life
42
00:03:05,260 --> 00:03:07,810
but also the Jiang family's reputation.
43
00:03:08,090 --> 00:03:09,770
I will never ignore this.
44
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:11,930
It's great for you to think that.
45
00:03:12,810 --> 00:03:16,610
It's pitiful that Li has been locked up
at the Court of Judicial Review.
46
00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:19,860
It is extremely bad
for the Jiang family's reputation.
47
00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:22,300
I've also heard some rumors
48

They said the children
of the Jiang family are no longer pure
50
00:03:27,740 --> 00:03:29,980
after they've been locked up.
51
00:03:30,210 --> 00:03:32,140
Even the Jiang family isn't innocent.

It's not that I don't want to save her

55
00:03:36,860 --> 00:03:37,140
That's...
56
00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:42,860
We are not necessarily helpless
in this case.

What are you talking about?

00:03:44,610 --> 00:03:46,770
Previously, there was a rule
of the yamen in the capital.

If a woman commits a crime,
60
00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:50,650
as long as she doesn't kill
her husband or children,
61
00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:52,420
she can be
62
00:03:52,610 --> 00:03:54,740

The Court of Judicial Review
might be great
66

but it is still a yamen
in the capital after all.
67
00:04:02,490 --> 00:04:03,740
Since Li is not married,
68
00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:06,580
she can be taken care of
by us at the Jiang residence.

to do something like this.

murder her husband or children,
152

Yes.
159
00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:34,130

who dares stop me.

178

she will be handed over
to the Jiang family to be taken care of.
180
00:10:33,010 --> 00:10:35,970
If she goes missing or if you hide her,
you will be punished.

00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,730
Just leave with me.
184
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,800
Mother, why are you here?
185
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,520
I don't know why you returned to Luyang
186
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,890
and insisted on
overturning the magistrate's case
187
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,560
but I know
188
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:02,010
your father has grown a lot of grey hair
189
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,280
because of you.
190
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,090
Will you be able to face your father
and the Jiang family?
191
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,920
As your mother,
192
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,920
I can't ignore your father
193
00:11:13,090 --> 00:11:14,610
and the honor of the Jiang family.
194
00:11:15,090 --> 00:11:16,250
When you return to the Jiang family,
195
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,730
you can explain it
196
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,280
to your father and Old Madam.
197
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,440
You are right, Mother.
198
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,010
Grandmother,
199
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,890
I have returned.
200
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,160
Good.
201
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,400
Sit.
202
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,760
Do you know why your father
isn't going to meet you?
203
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,090
I'm sure
204
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,520
father was very worried about me
regarding the Dingzhou issue.
205
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,560
I caused such a big trouble.
206
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,800
I'm sure Father is angry at me.
207
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,210
You are not related
to the Xue family's magistrate.
208
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:04,560
Why would you get yourself involved
in such a case?
209
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,920
You even brought so many villagers
back to the capital
210
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,040
and risked your life
211
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,760
together with the future
of the Jiang family.
212
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,970
Magistrate Xue's daughter, Xue Fangfei.
213
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,330
She's my savior.
214
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,010
When I was in Zhennyu Hall,
215
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,560
I was mistreated by the Mistress
216
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,920
and almost lost my life.
217
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,800
It was Xue Fangfei who saved me.
218
00:12:25,730 --> 00:12:26,890
Something like that happened?
219
00:12:27,610 --> 00:12:28,680
I went to Luyang
220
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,800
not only to visit my close ones
221
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,010
but also to meet my savior.
222
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,850
However, she passed away at a young age.
223
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:36,890
Her father was in danger
224
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,680
and I couldn't ignore him.
225
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,250
Li,
226
00:12:41,890 --> 00:12:44,640
I won't stop you
if you want to repay a debt of kindness
227
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,520
but did you have to do that?
228
00:12:51,610 --> 00:12:52,440
I know.
229
00:12:53,210 --> 00:12:54,210
I am a part of the Jiang family.
230
00:12:55,330 --> 00:12:57,560
Every move I make
will affect the Jiang family.
231
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,400
So, it wasn't my intention
to act recklessly.
232
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,920
I only wanted to go to Huaixiang
to meet my benefactor at first.
233
00:13:04,970 --> 00:13:06,560
After I arrived at Huaixiang,
234
00:13:06,850 --> 00:13:09,560
I accidentally discovered
that the new magistrate
235
00:13:09,970 --> 00:13:11,130
was lawless
236
00:13:11,210 --> 00:13:13,010
and exploited the people.
237
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:14,920
You didn't see it.
238
00:13:15,250 --> 00:13:16,800
Huaixiang was a prosperous place
239
00:13:17,010 --> 00:13:19,010
but it fell to a state
240
00:13:19,010 --> 00:13:20,730
where people dared not step outside
of their homes during the day.
241
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,410
It was very sad.
242
00:13:24,770 --> 00:13:25,480
Grandmother,
243
00:13:27,010 --> 00:13:28,370
you told me
244
00:13:28,930 --> 00:13:30,290
the family rules set by Grandfather.
245
00:13:31,250 --> 00:13:32,530
Protect justice
246
00:13:32,890 --> 00:13:34,010
and righteousness
247
00:13:34,170 --> 00:13:35,290
instead of being greedy
for temporary fame.
248
00:13:36,050 --> 00:13:37,720
It's exactly
because I am a part of the Jiang family
249
00:13:38,170 --> 00:13:40,080
that I can't ignore the people
250
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,440
who are aggrieved and suffering.
251
00:13:41,890 --> 00:13:43,200
I'm very happy
252
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:44,720
to see you have such integrity.
253
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,530
However, you could tell your father
254
00:13:48,530 --> 00:13:49,600
and let him handle this.
255
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,410
There was no need for you
to put yourself in danger again and again.
256
00:13:53,370 --> 00:13:54,890
I was forced to do that.
257
00:13:55,530 --> 00:13:56,680
The new Huaixiang magistrate
258
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:58,130
I told you just now
259
00:13:58,650 --> 00:13:59,720
was from the Li family.
260
00:14:00,930 --> 00:14:01,720
What?
261
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,170
In the Soochow Brocade incident
at the Ye family in Luyang,
262
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,410
someone purposely
poisoned the Ye family.
263
00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:11,890
I wrote a letter
to inform Father about that.
264
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,370
I also found clues in Luyang.
265
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,250
The Li family is most probably
the mastermind behind this.
266
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,530
Are you going
to overturn the case for a criminal next?
267
00:14:26,010 --> 00:14:27,050
Since ancient times,
268
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,410
there have been countless wronged cases.
269
00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:31,930
Only a few could be overturned.
270
00:14:32,290 --> 00:14:33,600
If you help a death row prisoner escape
271
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,170
and can't overturn the case,
272
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,130
you'll be executed.
273
00:14:37,290 --> 00:14:37,930
Grandmother,
274
00:14:38,410 --> 00:14:42,050
I've gotten
Xue Huaiyuan's corruption dossier.
275
00:14:42,930 --> 00:14:44,010
The case is a mess
276
00:14:44,370 --> 00:14:45,290
and full of flaws.
277
00:14:46,250 --> 00:14:48,440
Besides, if Magistrate Xue is guilty,
278
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,200
there won't be so many people
279
00:14:50,290 --> 00:14:51,840
entering the capital with me
to make an imperial complaint.
280
00:14:52,010 --> 00:14:55,250
The new magistrate
supported by the Li family
281
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,770
bullies the people
282
00:14:56,770 --> 00:14:57,530
and is nefarious.
283
00:14:58,130 --> 00:14:59,800
The people hate him.
284
00:15:00,650 --> 00:15:03,530
I'll tell your father about this.
285
00:15:04,050 --> 00:15:04,960
Thank you, Grandmother.
286
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,410
What?
287
00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:09,840
The magistrate of Huaixiang
is someone from the Li family?
288
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,960
I'm not wrong.
289
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,200
The Li family and the Jiang family
have been enemies for so long.
290
00:15:16,290 --> 00:15:17,170
Over the years,
291
00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:19,930
the Li family has been
nurturing its faction.
292
00:15:20,370 --> 00:15:23,250
Meanwhile, the Jiang family
is not as powerful as it used to be.
293
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,290
I'm sure you know this
better than anyone else.
294
00:15:26,770 --> 00:15:28,930
The Li family has made their move now.
295
00:15:29,530 --> 00:15:31,370
Are we going to turn a blind eye to it?
296
00:15:31,770 --> 00:15:36,290
No wonder Li Zhongnan
wrote the memorial himself.
297
00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:39,320
He wanted Jiang Li dead.
298
00:15:40,010 --> 00:15:41,480
You've finally understood.
299
00:15:41,530 --> 00:15:44,560
If Xue Huaiyuan's case
can be overturned,
300
00:15:45,130 --> 00:15:47,680
we can hurt
the Li family's morale indeed.
301
00:15:48,130 --> 00:15:51,890
However, Li Zhongnan
will also have a grudge against us.
302
00:15:52,290 --> 00:15:54,170
When he gets an opportunity
in the future,
303
00:15:54,370 --> 00:15:56,770
he will take revenge
on the Jiang family like crazy.
304
00:15:57,050 --> 00:15:58,480
If you don't do anything,
305
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,560
will the Li family stop hating us?
306
00:16:00,650 --> 00:16:02,530
They started the whole thing
307
00:16:02,650 --> 00:16:04,440
and they've harmed the Ye family.
308
00:16:05,530 --> 00:16:06,680
Who is the Ye family?
309
00:16:07,250 --> 00:16:08,800
They are our relatives
bonded by marriage.
310
00:16:09,010 --> 00:16:10,440
If we don't do anything,
311
00:16:11,170 --> 00:16:13,680
how will the people
view the Jiang family?
312
00:16:14,050 --> 00:16:16,680
Although Li does things
with her passion alone
313
00:16:17,010 --> 00:16:20,050
and seemed reckless
to hit the Dengwen Drum,
314
00:16:20,170 --> 00:16:22,800
His Majesty said he would
judge the trial himself.
315
00:16:23,050 --> 00:16:25,200
That means His Majesty also thought
316
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,960
there was something wrong
with Xue Huaiyuan's case.
317
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,080
Doesn't that
give us a chance to counter?
318
00:16:29,650 --> 00:16:31,840
Shuran has brought Li back now.
319
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,770
We have nothing to be afraid of.
320
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,130
Since it has come to this,
321
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,720
we should help Li
322
00:16:38,130 --> 00:16:39,960
and strike the Li family.
323
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,410
Did you miss out?
324
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:55,720
What do you mean?
325
00:16:56,010 --> 00:16:57,290
I thought you came back late
326
00:16:58,050 --> 00:16:59,560
because you went
to the Court of Judicial Review's prison
327
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:01,800
to see Jiang Li
328
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,440
who looks the same as your late wife.
329
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:06,890
Hold it!
330
00:17:09,330 --> 00:17:11,370
You are so boring.
331
00:17:11,930 --> 00:17:13,040
You can't be teased at all.
332
00:17:13,890 --> 00:17:15,090
Help me take a look
333
00:17:15,170 --> 00:17:16,680
and see which outfit
makes me look better.
334
00:17:20,610 --> 00:17:21,960
Help me take a look.
335
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,650
Which outfit makes me look better?
336
00:17:26,850 --> 00:17:27,850
All bright colours suit you.
337
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:29,960
Don't you prefer plain colours?
338
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,570
That's because I'm lowly.
339
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:33,760
All right.
340
00:17:34,810 --> 00:17:36,930
I'll choose the red outfit.
341
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,440
I'll wear it
342
00:17:39,930 --> 00:17:41,850
to meet Second Lady Jiang.
343
00:17:47,850 --> 00:17:48,850
Your Highness,
344
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,760
why are you going to the trial tomorrow?
345
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,280
I'll be there to add salt to the wound.
346
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,130
I hope you don't start a fire
347
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:58,410
and end up burning yourself.
348
00:18:01,650 --> 00:18:02,330
Shen Yurong,
349
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,890
I've tolerated you for a long time.
350
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,170
Your Highness, please turn around.
351
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,520
I'll help you tidy your sleeves.
352
00:18:16,090 --> 00:18:17,760
I've always wanted to know
353
00:18:18,650 --> 00:18:20,090
that if given another chance,
354
00:18:21,810 --> 00:18:24,170
would you bury Xue Fangfei
355
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,650
or kill me?
356
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,280
I'd rather
357
00:18:30,330 --> 00:18:31,930
die in Your Highness' hands.
358
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:44,600
[Taiji Hall]
359
00:18:49,610 --> 00:18:50,520
Second Lady Jiang.
360
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,480
Why isn't Jiang Yuanbai here with you?
361
00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:03,960
I think you've gotten used to
the Court of Judicial Review prison.
362
00:19:04,090 --> 00:19:06,130
You've become brave now.
363
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,720
I'm sure you are Grand Chancellor Li.
364
00:19:09,410 --> 00:19:10,330
Thanks for your concern,
365
00:19:10,610 --> 00:19:12,240
I've been released from prison.
366
00:19:13,930 --> 00:19:15,570
The Secretariat Director
has always been a steady man.
367
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,680
I didn't expect her daughter
368
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,720
to be courageous.
369
00:19:18,930 --> 00:19:21,280
Now that you've become capable,
370
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,930
it's really surprising.
371
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,370
That's too much praise,
Grand Chancellor Li.
372
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,720
It seems like
Second Lady Jiang is confident.
373
00:19:28,130 --> 00:19:29,650
Are you sure you will get me involved
374
00:19:29,650 --> 00:19:30,720
in today's matter
375
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,520
which is why
you don't feel scared at all?
376
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,000
What are you thinking?
377
00:19:34,410 --> 00:19:36,330
Are you thinking about
how I know about this?
378
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,650
Let me tell you,
379
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:38,810
Second Lady Jiang.
380
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,200
There's nothing in this world
381
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,480
that I don't know of.
382
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,610
You are too naive
383
00:19:45,610 --> 00:19:47,090
if you plan to play tricks
384
00:19:47,090 --> 00:19:48,480
behind my back.
385
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,200
Even your father dares not do that
386
00:19:50,370 --> 00:19:51,890
but a young girl like you
387
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,130
acts so greedily.
388
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,370
Are you not afraid
389
00:19:55,370 --> 00:19:57,410
that you might die a cruel death
in the end?
390
00:19:57,610 --> 00:20:01,090
Grand Chancellor Li, are you reminding me
to leave you a way out
391
00:20:01,850 --> 00:20:03,280
and not back people into a corner?
392
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,930
Second Lady Jiang, you are brave.
393
00:20:06,170 --> 00:20:08,090
You are so much better
394
00:20:08,130 --> 00:20:09,570
than the two incapable sons of mine.
395
00:20:10,370 --> 00:20:12,960
I wonder how long
can you keep your bravery up.
396
00:20:13,410 --> 00:20:15,170
After today's ruling before His Majesty,
397
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,610
I'm afraid Jiang Yuanbai
398
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,330
will have no choice but to abandon you.
399
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,470
Grand Chancellor Li.
400
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,600
Duke Su, you are early as well.
401
00:20:26,550 --> 00:20:27,710
I was standing far away
402
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:28,840
and couldn't hear you clearly.
403
00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:31,600
What were you saying
to educate Second Lady Jiang?
404
00:20:32,230 --> 00:20:34,880
She even said something about
leaving you a way out.
405
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,600
I was rude.
406
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:38,030
Second Lady Jiang,
407
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,070
what you said comes from the art of war.
408
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,880
It's aggressive.
409
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,270
If you meet someone old
410
00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:45,880
such as Grand Chancellor Li
in the future,
411
00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:47,400
you must speak cautiously.
412
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:49,550
Yes.
413
00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:53,070
Duke Su, you take good care of her.
414
00:20:53,070 --> 00:20:53,790
Not really.
415
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,400
I'm just better
416
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,880
at teaching someone than you,
Grand Chancellor Li.
417
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,470
We still don't know the results
of today's trial.
418
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,440
Second Lady Jiang
is still confident now.
419
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,880
I hope she can still smile
the way she does now
420
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,550
when the trial is over.
421
00:21:13,710 --> 00:21:14,270
Farewell.
422
00:21:25,550 --> 00:21:27,840
Duke Su, thanks for helping me
in a crisis once again.
423
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,200
This is not a crisis
424
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,600
for you.
425
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,040
You can't say that.
426
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:34,000
At least, I can see
427
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,090
that Li Zhongnan comes prepared.
428
00:21:36,850 --> 00:21:37,810
In that case,
429
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,890
I have to tell you something in advance.
430
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:53,850
Relax.
431
00:21:54,610 --> 00:21:55,480
I'm not planning
432
00:21:55,890 --> 00:21:57,680
to hand you over to the opponent yet.
433
00:22:01,610 --> 00:22:03,200
If Duke Su says that,
434
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,370
I'll need to offer my thank you gift.
435
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,240
I've been trapped
in my residence recently.
436
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,520
I sewed the handkerchief
you asked me to sew.
437
00:22:21,410 --> 00:22:22,520
Your embroidery is good.
438
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,760
My embroidery cannot be compared
to the one who sewed your handkerchief.
439
00:22:27,890 --> 00:22:29,720
I didn't even dare sew it at first
440
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,960
because I was afraid
I would ruin the feelings of the dead.
441
00:22:32,570 --> 00:22:34,130
You've learned about my background?
442
00:22:34,850 --> 00:22:38,280
Duke Su, your father, General Xiao,
is a famous general of our kingdom.
443
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,440
He was a soldier his whole life.
444
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,890
The whole world knows that.
445
00:22:42,930 --> 00:22:44,760
Madam Yu loved her a lot.
446
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,200
She was also a woman to be respected.
447
00:22:48,370 --> 00:22:49,610
What about your father?
448
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,410
What about me?
449
00:22:54,130 --> 00:22:55,090
Grand Chancellor Jiang.
450
00:22:56,130 --> 00:22:58,650
Grand Chancellor Jiang,
I'm sure you work hard
451
00:22:58,650 --> 00:22:59,810
and love the people.
452
00:23:01,090 --> 00:23:03,170
I have something to say to my daughter.
453
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:08,930
Father.
454
00:23:14,810 --> 00:23:15,720
You've suffered.
455
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,170
I thought
you wouldn't forgive me anymore.
456
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,130
You are my daughter after all.
457
00:23:21,930 --> 00:23:24,760
Your grandmother
told me all of your thoughts.
458
00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:26,960
Don't be scared later.
459
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,610
Just say anything on your mind.
460
00:23:29,370 --> 00:23:31,240
I have your back.
461
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,090
Thank you, Father.
462
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,680
[Prosperous Era]
His Majesty is here!
463
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,720
Greetings, Your Majesty.
464
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,810
Everyone, stand up.
465
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,930
Thank you, Your Majesty.
466
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,760
[Prosperous Era]
467
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,480
Regarding the Huaixiang Magistrate,
Xue Huaiyuan's corruption case,
468
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,130
it was supposed to be judged
by the state court
469
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,040
and the dossier was handed
to the Ministry of Justice
470
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,440
to be closed.
471
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,330
Due to the people of Huaixiang
doubting the result of the case,
472
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,760
they have appealed for him.
473
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,520
His Majesty
understands the people's pleas
474
00:24:26,810 --> 00:24:30,440
and ordered the Ministry of Justice to hand
the case to the Court of Judicial Review.
475
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,960
It will be hosted by
the Secretary of Judicial Review
476
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,480
and judged together
477
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,130
with the Ministry of Justice.
478
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,720
The trial today
479
00:24:38,170 --> 00:24:40,930
will be supervised by His Majesty.
480
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:41,930
Zhou,
481
00:24:43,090 --> 00:24:43,890
you may begin.
482
00:24:43,890 --> 00:24:45,680
Yes.
483
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,610
Summon Second Lady Jiang.
484
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,480
Summon Second Lady Jiang!
485
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,930
Summon Second Lady Jiang!
486
00:25:10,890 --> 00:25:13,200
I, Jiang Li, greet Your Majesty.
487
00:25:13,890 --> 00:25:14,680
Stand and speak.
488
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:15,850
Yes, Your Majesty.
489
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:18,680
Second Lady Jiang,
490
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,130
did you bring the people of Huaixiang
into the capital
491
00:25:21,570 --> 00:25:23,170
because of
492
00:25:23,170 --> 00:25:26,850
the corruption case of Xue Huaiyuan,
the Huaixiang magistrate?
493
00:25:27,130 --> 00:25:28,170
Secretary of Judicial Review,
494
00:25:28,610 --> 00:25:29,440
Half a year ago,
495
00:25:30,370 --> 00:25:31,850
the Huaixiang magistrate, Xue Huaiyuan,
496
00:25:32,610 --> 00:25:34,850
was accused
by the magistrate's guard, Feng Yutang,
497
00:25:35,370 --> 00:25:36,480
for embezzling the court's money.
498
00:25:36,850 --> 00:25:38,650
He was judged to be executed
after the court's trial
499
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:39,570
and was awaiting his execution.
500
00:25:39,810 --> 00:25:41,960
I went to Huaixiang to visit a friend
501
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,850
and accidentally discovered there was
more than meets the eye to the case.
502
00:25:45,330 --> 00:25:46,680
According to my understanding,
503
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,240
All of you
504
00:25:48,330 --> 00:25:50,040
rushed into the Huaixiang county yamen
505
00:25:50,370 --> 00:25:51,850
on the day
when Xue Huaiyuan would be executed
506
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,720
to take him away.
507
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,680
Do you admit to this?
508
00:25:56,090 --> 00:25:56,650
I admit.
509
00:25:57,330 --> 00:26:01,370
Do you know that the action
is a serious crime?
510
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,200
I know.
511
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,760
It was a last resort.
512
00:26:06,130 --> 00:26:07,330
If we didn't do that,
513
00:26:08,850 --> 00:26:12,200
Xue Huaiyuan's grievance
and the suffering of Huaixiang's people
514
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,090
will never see the light of day.
515
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,040
I will take responsibility
for the crime I committed.
516
00:26:17,890 --> 00:26:19,810
But I hope
Your Majesty and all officials
517
00:26:20,890 --> 00:26:25,000
can help Magistrate Xue
redress the injustice before convicting me.
518
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,170
Who was in charge
519
00:26:26,170 --> 00:26:28,440
of Xue Huaiyuan's case
at the Ministry of Justice?
520
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:30,960
[Prosperous Era]
521
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,440
I was in charge.
522
00:26:32,890 --> 00:26:33,960
I remember
523
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,370
the dossier of this case
was not complicated.
524
00:26:37,650 --> 00:26:40,520
Ten crates of silver were found
in Xue Huaiyuan's residence
525
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,480
which totaled 5,000 taels
526
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,130
and a private ledger.
527
00:26:43,850 --> 00:26:46,850
Along with the testimony
from the county magistrate, Feng Yutang,
528
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,520
we had both evidence and a witness.
529
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,000
There was nothing strange
as Second Lady Jiang mentioned.
530
00:26:55,370 --> 00:26:58,040
Second Lady Jiang went
to Huaixiang personally.
531
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,240
I think she had discovered
something unknown to others.
532
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,440
Since you are trying
to overturn a case for a criminal,
533
00:27:04,170 --> 00:27:07,520
please present new evidence
before His Majesty, Second Lady Jiang,
534
00:27:08,090 --> 00:27:09,370
and let us judge.
535
00:27:11,890 --> 00:27:13,000
I have no new evidence.
536
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,170
How dare you.
537
00:27:15,610 --> 00:27:17,000
Since you have no new evidence,
538
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,680
how dare you bewitch the people
539
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,760
to come to the capital
and sound the Dengwen Drum
540
00:27:20,810 --> 00:27:22,170
and force His Majesty to retry the case?
541
00:27:22,890 --> 00:27:23,850
Second Lady Jiang,
542
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,610
are you underestimating Your Majesty?
543
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,170
My daughter is not done talking yet.
544
00:27:29,810 --> 00:27:30,720
Why do you feel anxious?
545
00:27:32,850 --> 00:27:34,280
Since I can't present new evidence,
546
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,850
I will change my request.
547
00:27:37,610 --> 00:27:38,170
Your Majesty,
548
00:27:38,650 --> 00:27:39,850
I came all the way
549
00:27:39,930 --> 00:27:42,200
with the people of Huaixiang
to sound the Dengwen Drum
550
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,000
not to help Xue Huaiyuan get acquitted
551
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,440
but to ask Your Majesty to convict him!
552
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,200
Silence!
553
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,040
Convict him?
554
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:55,960
What do you mean?
555
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,330
As you all know,
556
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,330
there's concrete evidence
to the Huaixiang magistrate,
557
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:02,480
Xue Huaiyuan's embezzlement.
558
00:28:03,410 --> 00:28:04,720
He is a worm in the government.
559
00:28:05,130 --> 00:28:06,520
Your Majesty prioritizes integrity.
560
00:28:06,930 --> 00:28:08,410
How dare a mere magistrate of Huaixiang
561
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,890
be so daring?
562
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,090
Imprisonment and execution
cannot appease the people's anger.
563
00:28:12,610 --> 00:28:13,410
I think
564
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,440
he should be punished
by slashing with a thousand knives.
565
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,440
Didn't she say
she is overturning the case?
566
00:28:21,170 --> 00:28:22,480
Is she admitting defeat
567
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,930
because she has no evidence?
568
00:28:24,850 --> 00:28:27,680
Xue Huaiyuan might have
a lowly position
569
00:28:27,890 --> 00:28:30,240
but he is still an official
of the Great Yan.
570
00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:31,850
He has been an official
of Huaixiang for a decade.
571
00:28:32,410 --> 00:28:34,130
He only got found out
with corruption last year
572
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,240
and the evidence
was just a mere 5,000 taels.
573
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,200
Ten years
574
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:38,480
and only 5,000 taels.
575
00:28:39,170 --> 00:28:40,200
I don't think the number is right.
576
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:41,440
How is it wrong?
577
00:28:41,850 --> 00:28:42,850
For ten years,
578
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,170
he has been an official with integrity
579
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,280
or should I say
his corruption was perfect?
580
00:28:48,610 --> 00:28:49,890
Perhaps he was working with someone else
581
00:28:50,410 --> 00:28:51,440
to transport the money.
582
00:28:51,890 --> 00:28:54,240
The last 5,000 taels left
was only the leftover amount.
583
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,280
Where's the other money?
584
00:28:58,090 --> 00:28:59,240
The Ministry of Justice
did not investigate
585
00:28:59,610 --> 00:29:00,720
and it was not recorded in the dossier.
586
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,850
Perhaps he used the money
to purchase soldiers and horses.
587
00:29:04,410 --> 00:29:07,040
Then, he should be suspected of treason.
588
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,570
The Court of Judicial Review killed him
without investigating this.
589
00:29:10,330 --> 00:29:11,240
If you think carefully,
590
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,280
aren't you worried?
591
00:29:14,130 --> 00:29:15,240
We must investigate it in detail.
592
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,370
However, we have no new evidence
593
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,680
to reinvestigate this dossier.
594
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,200
What should we do?
595
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,610
That is why
596
00:29:22,410 --> 00:29:24,520
I brought the people of Huaixiang
to the capital.
597
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:26,680
I want to summon witnesses.
598
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,000
Approved.
599
00:29:28,570 --> 00:29:29,370
Summon the witnesses!
600
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,280
[Prosperous Era]
601
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,200
Kneel!
602
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,170
Regarding the Huaiyang Magistrate,
Xue Huaiyuan's corruption case,
603
00:29:48,370 --> 00:29:49,570
what do you have to say?
604
00:29:50,370 --> 00:29:50,930
Your Majesty,
605
00:29:51,610 --> 00:29:54,650
I don't know about
Magistrate Xue's corruption case.
606
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,240
I only know...
607
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:57,760
Raise your head and speak.
608
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,810
I only know that both my daughter and I
would be bullied
609
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,280
and killed
610
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,520
if it wasn't for Magistrate Xue.
611
00:30:11,090 --> 00:30:12,520
After my husband died,
612
00:30:12,850 --> 00:30:14,410
I was raising my child alone.
613
00:30:14,930 --> 00:30:16,200
When we were
at our most difficult period,
614
00:30:16,810 --> 00:30:19,240
Magistrate Xue used his own salary
615
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,040
[Inner Tranquility]
to subsidize us.
616
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,040
He Jun,
617
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:22,650
help them clean the place.
618
00:30:23,650 --> 00:30:25,240
If someone dares bully them,
619
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,370
punish them according to the law.
620
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:26,960
Yes.
621
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:27,650
Ping'an.
622
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,370
Go and thank Magistrate Xue.
623
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:29,850
Hurry.
624
00:30:29,850 --> 00:30:30,890
[Inner Tranquility]
625
00:30:30,890 --> 00:30:31,960
Thank you, Mr. Xue.
626
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:32,680
All right.
627
00:30:33,330 --> 00:30:34,040
It's fine now.
628
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,680
No one dares bully you again.
629
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,890
If Magistrate Xue didn't sponsor me,
630
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,960
I might still be illiterate.
631
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:44,720
My house was poor
632
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,850
and couldn't study.
633
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,810
Magistrate Xue was generous
634
00:30:47,810 --> 00:30:48,520
and gave me money
635
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,720
so I could return to the academy
636
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:51,930
and become a scholar.
637
00:30:52,170 --> 00:30:52,760
Gu Da.
638
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,520
Give him money to study.
639
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,330
Get the money from my salary.
640
00:30:57,130 --> 00:30:57,410
Yes.
641
00:30:57,570 --> 00:30:58,040
Mother.
642
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:58,610
Son.
643
00:30:58,610 --> 00:30:59,610
I can study again.
644
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,170
Yes! That's great!
645
00:31:02,810 --> 00:31:04,930
They said the pork I sold
646
00:31:04,930 --> 00:31:05,960
was poisonous.
647
00:31:06,330 --> 00:31:07,570
If it wasn't for Magistrate Xue,
648
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,200
my ancestor's assets would've been stolen
by the bullies.
649
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,240
Stop!
650
00:31:14,130 --> 00:31:15,480
I wanted to pay Magistrate Xue
651
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:16,520
but he refused.
652
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:17,810
Your Majesty,
653
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,200
please investigate it.
654
00:31:19,410 --> 00:31:22,680
Magistrate Xue
will never do something corrupt.
655
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,170
Magistrate Xue is a good person.
656
00:31:24,170 --> 00:31:25,170
Yes!
657
00:31:25,170 --> 00:31:28,760
Magistrate Xue is a good person.
658
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,240
He wouldn't do something like that.
659
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:30,890
Yes!
660
00:31:31,810 --> 00:31:33,170
These are just their testimonies.
661
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,330
If they were paid
662
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,040
to speak for the corrupt officials,
663
00:31:39,610 --> 00:31:41,000
it wouldn't be something too difficult.
664
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:42,760
Zhou,
665
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,130
you need to be careful.
666
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,040
Secretary of Justice, you are right.
667
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,170
A corrupt official
668
00:31:49,170 --> 00:31:50,890
will not do so much for the people.
669
00:31:51,130 --> 00:31:53,330
I'm sure these people were bribed
670
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:54,610
and spoke nonsense.
671
00:31:55,090 --> 00:31:57,720
Please summon other witnesses.
672
00:31:58,410 --> 00:31:59,330
Summon the witnesses.
673
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,370
Kneel!
674
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,520
Magistrate Xue paved my entrance's road.
675
00:32:13,610 --> 00:32:14,570
There was a flood
676
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,680
and Magistrate Xue
did not return for three days.
677
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,480
Magistrate Xue gave me money
to treat my illness.
678
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,170
Magistrate's Xue's grace...
679
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,130
Magistrate Xue's kindness...
680
00:32:22,130 --> 00:32:23,680
If it wasn't for Magistrate Xue...
681
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,130
Your Majesty, please investigate it!
682
00:32:26,330 --> 00:32:29,040
Your Majesty, please investigate it!
683
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,000
Every incident sounds touching.
684
00:32:37,370 --> 00:32:38,760
They remind me
685
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,240
of the corruption case three years ago
by the Qingzhou Magistrate.
686
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,240
The magistrate embezzled
a huge amount of money back then
687
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,930
and used a small amount of money
to help the people.
688
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,930
When we seized his assets,
689
00:32:49,090 --> 00:32:50,280
there were also many people
690
00:32:50,570 --> 00:32:51,930
who knelt and plead
691
00:32:51,930 --> 00:32:53,240
for him.
692
00:32:53,650 --> 00:32:56,440
Secretary of Judicial Review,
you supervised the case.
693
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:57,570
Have you forgotten?
694
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:58,850
I still recall it.
695
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:00,930
Grand Chancellor Li, you are right.
696
00:33:01,650 --> 00:33:03,240
He spent a small amount on the people
697
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,650
and a big amount on buying lands, right?
698
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,680
The Great Yan does have
such a greedy official.
699
00:33:09,330 --> 00:33:10,760
Feng Yutang is one of them.
700
00:33:11,850 --> 00:33:14,680
After Feng Yutang became
the Huaixiang Magistrate for half a year,
701
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,850
[Prosperous Era]
He bought furniture for himself.
702
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,280
His family members
are wearing jewellery.
703
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,130
They live a lavish lifestyle.
704
00:33:20,330 --> 00:33:22,890
Xue Huaiyuan was a magistrate
at Huaixiang for ten years.
705
00:33:23,810 --> 00:33:25,200
I'm sure he has more assets than him.
706
00:33:25,850 --> 00:33:27,440
Half a year ago,
Xue Huaiyuan was imprisoned
707
00:33:27,570 --> 00:33:28,720
and his assets were seized.
708
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,890
I request the censorate
709
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,520
to announce the assets seized
from the Xue family
710
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:34,440
and the Feng family.
711
00:33:34,930 --> 00:33:35,960
Show everyone
712
00:33:36,330 --> 00:33:37,440
how much worse
713
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,890
Xue Huaiyuan is compared to Feng Yutang.
714
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,440
Censorate, please present
both their family's assets.
715
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,040
The former Huaixiang Magistrate,
Xue Huaiyuan
716
00:33:50,170 --> 00:33:52,330
had no houses and lands
717
00:33:52,570 --> 00:33:53,610
when he was a magistrate.
718
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,720
The amount of money
seized from his residence
719
00:33:56,410 --> 00:33:59,960
and his total assets
amount to a total of 5,000 taels.
720
00:34:03,410 --> 00:34:05,850
The current Huaixiang Magistrate,
Feng Yutang,
721
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,690
has more than 40 houses
when he is a magistrate.
722
00:34:10,410 --> 00:34:13,120
The number of fields he owned
has not been recorded yet.
723
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:14,250
[Prosperous Era]
724
00:34:14,250 --> 00:34:17,410
After investigation,
his houses, fields, and savings,
725
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,370
exceed a total of 200,000 tales.
726
00:34:20,370 --> 00:34:21,770
200,000 taels?
727
00:34:21,770 --> 00:34:22,330
[Prosperous Era]
728
00:34:22,330 --> 00:34:23,770
He has more than 200,000 taels?
729
00:34:25,850 --> 00:34:27,410
A complicated 200,000 taels
730
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,600
and a clean 5,000 taels.
731
00:34:30,330 --> 00:34:31,210
In that case,
732
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:33,890
Magistrate did not even leave himself
733
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,850
a piece of roof tile in Huaixiang.
734
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,520
He only embezzled 5,000 taels.
735
00:34:39,250 --> 00:34:41,520
The money was also exchanged into ingots
736
00:34:41,730 --> 00:34:42,770
and put into crates
737
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,290
in his own residence
738
00:34:44,370 --> 00:34:45,440
waiting for the Ministry of Justice
to seize them.
739
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,330
He is indeed an example
740
00:34:47,690 --> 00:34:49,120
of corrupt officials.
741
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:50,690
Stop using your eloquent words.
742
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,290
No matter how much
743
00:34:53,370 --> 00:34:54,960
and how he got the money,
744
00:34:55,210 --> 00:34:56,520
he is still corrupt.
745
00:34:56,810 --> 00:35:00,210
Secretary of Judicial Review,
please summon other witnesses.
746
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:01,370
Summon the witnesses.
747
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,720
[Prosperous Era]
748
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,040
Your Majesty,
749
00:35:33,370 --> 00:35:34,850
we were the guards of Huaixiang
750
00:35:34,850 --> 00:35:35,730
when Magistrate Xue was in charge.
751
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,730
Magistrate Xue stayed in Huaixiang
for ten whole years.
752
00:35:39,370 --> 00:35:40,690
He never acted corrupt.
753
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,040
After he was imprisoned,
754
00:35:42,370 --> 00:35:44,560
all of us who knew the truth
were confined in a mine.
755
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:46,370
Your Majesty!
756
00:35:46,850 --> 00:35:48,160
We are willing
to guarantee with our lives.
757
00:35:48,410 --> 00:35:51,000
If we tell a lie,
758
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:52,810
our clans should be annihilated.
759
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,690
We are willing
to guarantee with our lives.
760
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,370
If we tell a lie,
761
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:57,930
our clans should be annihilated.
762
00:35:58,210 --> 00:35:59,480
We are willing
to guarantee with our lives.
763
00:35:59,770 --> 00:36:00,850
If we tell a lie,
764
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,120
our clans should be annihilated.
765
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:03,930
We are willing
to guarantee with our lives.
766
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,440
If we tell a lie,
767
00:36:05,850 --> 00:36:06,960
our clans should be annihilated.
768
00:36:07,370 --> 00:36:08,850
[Prosperous Era]
We're willing to guarantee with our lives!
769
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,210
If we tell a lie,
770
00:36:10,370 --> 00:36:11,600
our clans should be annihilated!
771
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,240
No matter what,
772
00:36:22,510 --> 00:36:24,670
it is true that Xue Huaiyuan is corrupt.
773
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,440
As Second Lady Jiang mentioned,
774
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:30,070
he should be punished
with a thousand slashes.
775
00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:30,960
Hold it.
776
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:33,510
Jiang Li,
777
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,280
keep talking.
778
00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:38,110
The Huaixiang Magistrate,
Xue Huaiyuan committed a crime.
779
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:40,590
When he was in charge for ten years,
780
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,240
his crime apart
from embezzling the disaster relief funds,
781
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:44,990
is that had almost no desires,
782
00:36:45,590 --> 00:36:46,880
calm,
783
00:36:47,550 --> 00:36:48,960
responsible,
784
00:36:49,510 --> 00:36:50,920
and upright.
785
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,630
It's hard
to find a corrupt official like him.
786
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,150
So, when he was on duty,
787
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,960
he would have more plans
and evil actions.
788
00:36:58,720 --> 00:36:59,630
When he was on duty,
789
00:36:59,990 --> 00:37:01,280
where did his money go?
790
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,840
Building dams and footpaths,
and bribing the people.
791
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,550
He is trying to embarrass
792
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,030
the good officials of the capital
who live a lavish life
793
00:37:11,190 --> 00:37:12,800
and own millions of mu of land.
794
00:37:13,070 --> 00:37:15,550
He is shameless and arrogant!
795
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,320
Xue Huaiyuan's crime
must not be forgiven.
796
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,720
I request Your Majesty
797
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,190
to punish Xue Huaiyuan
with a thousand slashes.
798
00:37:30,110 --> 00:37:31,320
In that case,
799
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:33,320
Xue Huaiyuan did not commit a crime
800
00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:34,670
and even contributed instead.
801
00:37:35,150 --> 00:37:36,590
I request
802
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,670
for the Huaixiang Magistrate,
Xue Huaiyuan to appear in court.
803
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,960
Xue Huaiyuan is a witness as well.
804
00:37:42,470 --> 00:37:43,880
I want Your Majesty
805
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,240
to see
what Magistrate Xue looks like now.
806
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:47,440
Approved.
807
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,360
Summon Xue Huaiyuan.
808
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,400
[Prosperous Era]
809
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:11,960
Your Majesty,
810
00:38:12,550 --> 00:38:14,880
this man is Xue Huaiyuan,
the Huaixiang Magistrate.
811
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,590
He was imprisoned by Feng Yutang
812
00:38:17,590 --> 00:38:18,920
and was tortured.
813
00:38:19,510 --> 00:38:20,760
He is now mentally confused
814
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:21,800
and behaves like a child.
815
00:38:22,590 --> 00:38:24,590
What a pity that an upright official
816
00:38:25,030 --> 00:38:26,590
ended up like this.
817
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,840
If news of this spreads,
818
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,440
how many upright officials
will feel scared?
819
00:38:32,670 --> 00:38:34,030
How many people
820
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,150
will swear loyalty to Your Majesty?
821
00:38:37,150 --> 00:38:38,110
How dare you, Jiang Li?
822
00:38:38,590 --> 00:38:39,840
How dare you doubt His Majesty?
823
00:38:40,110 --> 00:38:41,590
Second Lady Jiang's statement
824
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:43,360
is similar to mine.
825
00:38:43,550 --> 00:38:46,240
Kind advice is hard on the ears.
826
00:38:47,110 --> 00:38:49,280
Second Lady Jiang's words
might be out of line
827
00:38:49,590 --> 00:38:51,440
but they sound reasonable.
828
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,670
If we abandon the upright officials
829
00:38:53,990 --> 00:38:55,190
and only use the corrupt officials,
830
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,840
the kingdom will be in ruins.
831
00:38:57,240 --> 00:38:58,550
Duke Su is right.
832
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,630
I'm not someone
who can't hear honest words.
833
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:01,670
Jiang,
834
00:39:02,030 --> 00:39:03,440
you raised your daughter well.
835
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,630
Such an upright official
who loves the people
836
00:39:14,070 --> 00:39:15,960
was falsely accused and sent to prison.
837
00:39:16,030 --> 00:39:17,550
Now, he is in such a pitiful state.
838
00:39:18,630 --> 00:39:19,840
This is my fault
839
00:39:20,550 --> 00:39:22,320
and a loss for the Great Yan!
840
00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:27,470
It is all of our crimes!
841
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:31,590
Stand.
842
00:39:35,030 --> 00:39:35,840
Wei Qian!
843
00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:38,110
You misjudged a case.
844
00:39:38,110 --> 00:39:38,990
Do you know your crime?
845
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,400
I deserved to die!
846
00:39:41,550 --> 00:39:43,360
I didn't know there was
847
00:39:43,550 --> 00:39:46,400
such a nefarious person
848
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:47,550
like Feng Yutang.
849
00:39:48,510 --> 00:39:49,150
Zhou Dezhao!
850
00:39:49,550 --> 00:39:51,510
I order you to reinvestigate
Xue Huaiyuan's corruption case.
851
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,070
Those who are involved
in harming Xue Haiyuan
852
00:39:55,150 --> 00:39:56,190
should be punished severely!
853
00:39:56,190 --> 00:39:57,840
Yes.
854
00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:02,760
Jiang Li,
855
00:40:03,550 --> 00:40:04,630
you are brave and wise.
856
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,590
You impressed me again.
857
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,280
Thank you, Your Majesty.
858
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:12,960
Stand.
859
00:40:15,150 --> 00:40:17,720
Xue Huaiyuan's case has been cleared.
860
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,400
Zhou, you should judge
861
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,360
Second Lady Jiang's case
of escaping with the criminal.
862
00:40:21,630 --> 00:40:22,360
Your Majesty.
863
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,110
My daughter is reckless
864
00:40:27,510 --> 00:40:29,110
but after hearing the truth
865
00:40:29,110 --> 00:40:31,550
about Xue Huaiyuan's case,
866
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,320
I'm reluctant to punish her
for what she did that day.
867
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:38,240
A good official's death
868
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,070
does not just trouble the official
869
00:40:41,590 --> 00:40:44,110
but every official's morale.
870
00:40:44,590 --> 00:40:47,150
My daughter made a grave mistake
871
00:40:47,470 --> 00:40:51,280
but she saved a good official
whom I couldn't save.
872
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,440
At the hall today,
873
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:55,360
I...
874
00:40:56,590 --> 00:40:58,920
I feel shameful.
875
00:41:01,510 --> 00:41:02,510
We are shameful!
876
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,160
[Prosperous Era]
877
00:41:06,190 --> 00:41:07,510
We are shameful!
878
00:41:08,150 --> 00:41:10,150
We are shameful!
879
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,280
We are shameful!
880
00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:15,070
We are shameful!
881
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,320
We are shameful!
882
00:41:18,510 --> 00:41:20,990
We are shameful!
883
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,990
We are shameful!
884
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,760
We are shameful!
885
00:41:35,110 --> 00:41:35,880
Zhou Dezhao,
886
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:36,990
what do you say?
887
00:41:37,110 --> 00:41:37,800
Your Majesty,
888
00:41:38,030 --> 00:41:40,880
Since Xue Huaiyuan
is wronged in his case,
889
00:41:41,510 --> 00:41:44,440
that means he is not a criminal.
890
00:41:44,590 --> 00:41:47,110
So, there is no truth
891
00:41:47,470 --> 00:41:49,190
in Second Lady Jiang
helping a criminal escape.
892
00:41:49,190 --> 00:41:50,240
It is reasonable.
893
00:41:50,630 --> 00:41:51,150
Jiang Li,
894
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,510
I forgive you for your crime.
895
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,400
The Court of Judicial Review will
close your case and you may go home.
896
00:41:55,670 --> 00:41:57,800
Thank you, Your Majesty.
897
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,110
Stand up.
898
00:41:59,470 --> 00:42:01,320
Thank you, Your Majesty.
899
00:42:04,030 --> 00:42:05,670
Does Xu Huaiyuan have
children and family members?
900
00:42:06,030 --> 00:42:06,880
I want to compensate them.
901
00:42:06,990 --> 00:42:09,400
Xue Huaiyuan
has one son and one daughter.
902
00:42:09,670 --> 00:42:10,670
As far as I know,
903
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:12,030
his son, Xue Zhao,
904
00:42:12,110 --> 00:42:14,880
was killed by bandits in the capital.
905
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:16,590
His daughter, Xue Fangfei,
906
00:42:19,630 --> 00:42:22,320
is Mr. Shen's late wife.
907
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,840
This is too cruel.
908
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,510
When I found out
my father-in-law was corrupt,
909
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,440
I was shocked.
910
00:42:46,070 --> 00:42:46,990
Now that I've learned
911
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,960
that he was harmed,
912
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,240
it pains me
913
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:51,880
now that I recall.
914
00:42:56,630 --> 00:42:57,190
Father-in-law.
915
00:42:57,630 --> 00:42:58,280
Father-in-law.
916
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:00,360
It must be tough for you.
917
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,630
Ye Shijie.
918
00:43:09,550 --> 00:43:10,240
Magistrate Xue,
919
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,030
it's all right.
920
00:43:12,590 --> 00:43:13,150
It's fine now.
921
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,320
Magistrate Xue,
922
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:16,190
it's all right.
923
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:17,280
It's fine now.
924
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:18,800
Mr. Shen, please forgive him.
925
00:43:19,630 --> 00:43:21,110
You've not met Magistrate Xue
for a long time.
926
00:43:21,470 --> 00:43:22,920
I'm afraid
he can't recognise you anymore.
927
00:43:25,550 --> 00:43:26,190
Zhou,
928
00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:27,800
Magistrate Xue is in shock,
929
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:30,110
can I take him back to rest?
930
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:35,070
You may leave.
931
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,510
Who wrote this script?
932
00:43:47,150 --> 00:43:47,990
It's really cruel.
933
00:43:48,110 --> 00:43:49,070
What do you mean?
934
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,510
The father is corrupt.
935
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:51,920
The daughter was in an affair.
936
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,320
The son died in an accident.
937
00:43:54,670 --> 00:43:56,550
The whole family faced a disaster
one after the other.
938
00:43:56,590 --> 00:43:58,190
Isn't this common in storybooks?
939
00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:59,280
What storybook?
940
00:43:59,510 --> 00:44:00,190
Framing
941
00:44:00,630 --> 00:44:01,470
and killing a witness.
942
00:44:04,590 --> 00:44:05,190
Framing?
943
00:44:05,670 --> 00:44:07,320
Was Mr. Shen's late wife framed
944
00:44:07,590 --> 00:44:08,590
for having an affair as well?
945
00:44:08,990 --> 00:44:09,960
That's not necessary.
946
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:11,760
Duke Su is brave.
947
00:44:11,990 --> 00:44:13,320
He dares say anything.
948
00:44:14,150 --> 00:44:14,720
Duke Su,
949
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:16,150
I'll leave this to you.
950
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:18,760
Investigate the truth
behind the Xue family's death
951
00:44:19,070 --> 00:44:20,360
and prove the Xue family's innocence
952
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:23,190
so Mr. Shen can be relieved.
953
00:44:24,630 --> 00:44:25,920
Yes.
954
00:44:29,590 --> 00:44:30,800
Interesting.
955
00:44:30,810 --> 00:44:34,070
[Prosperous Era]
956
00:44:37,150 --> 00:44:39,110
How interesting.
957
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,360
This is
such an interesting court trial.
958
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,720
Why didn't Your Majesty call me?
959
00:44:46,630 --> 00:44:48,110
An investigation is not child's play.
960
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,240
Why did you come here?
961
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,920
I have something important
to inform you.
962
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,360
Second Lady Jiang has a sharp tongue.
963
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,400
She has successfully overturned
964
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,280
the Xue family case.
965
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,400
What a pity that
while Your Majesty was feeling outraged
966
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:05,920
by your officials being harmed,
967
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:07,670
have you thought
968
00:45:07,990 --> 00:45:09,960
that you were also fooled
969
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,630
like a donkey?
970
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:13,110
Wanning,
971
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:15,590
don't speak nonsense.
972
00:45:16,030 --> 00:45:17,190
What a coincidence.
973
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,400
I heard Mr. Shen's wife
974
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,550
was Huaixiang's most talented lady
975
00:45:23,150 --> 00:45:26,470
so I got curious
and went to take a look.
976
00:45:26,630 --> 00:45:27,400
Indeed.
977
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,630
Mrs. Shen has a unique face.
978
00:45:30,070 --> 00:45:31,630
It is rare indeed.
979
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:34,470
So, I was shocked
980
00:45:34,630 --> 00:45:36,190
when I saw Second Lady Jiang
981
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:40,960
because she looks exactly the same
982
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,470
as Xue Fangfei.
