Miss Chun Is a Litigator

Litigators, tell me about the case.

My lord.

In broad daylight,

Villain Zhang bullied people and committed crimes in public,

and stole Mrs. Liu's property.

If we don't punish him severely,

how do we serve justice?

My lord, he's innocent.

He didn't take anyone's property

but Mrs. Liu's.

There must be a reason.

A reason?

Mrs. Liu borrowed

50 taels from him out of life pressure.

That was the reason.

According to the law,

any private loans and pawns

can't make more than three percent profit.

Although she's been in debt for a long time,

he can't make a profit more than how much he loaned.

According to the law of debit and credit

in our dynasty,

the basic principle is that

a lender's profit

can't exceed how much he loaned.

Villager Zhang manipulated with compound interest, raising the initial 50 taels

to 200 taels.

That was against the basic principle.

When Mrs. Liu couldn't repay it,

Villager Zhang wanted to take

her house.

That was a robbery.

Considering what he committed,

he should be sentenced to prison, exile, or put to death by hanging.

Ms. Chun.

That's not true.

I hereby present the exhibit that says Mrs. Liu

sells the room in Lin Lang Pavilion out of her own will,

including everything from the rafters, concrete materials, and bricks

to the subgrade.

Here is the receipt.

How can you deny it in court?

Right.

Our country was governed by law.

How dare you sue in court

while committing blackmail?

As a litigator,

you can't tell right from wrong,

don't you worried about being punished?

My lord,

Ms. Chun accused him of making illegal profit without any proof,

we dare not accept this accusation.

Nowhere in the receipt signed by Mrs. Liu indicates

there's compound interest.

Ms. Chun has no evidence to prove her accusation.

She slandered him

and lodged a false accusation.

Mrs. Liu

sells the room in Lin Lang Pavilion

out of her own will,

including everything from the rafters, concrete materials, and bricks

to the subgrade,

to pay her debt of 200 taels.

How could you sign this?

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't.

They forced me.

Screw you!

If you can't pay me back,

I'll sell you.

Let's go.

Ms. Chun.

Where are you taking her?

You can't take her away.

My lord,

according to the law

that...

Chun Tumi,

You disturbed the court.

Do you think you deserve to be a litigator?

You can never be one.

I can.

I want to.

My lady!

My lady, bad news!

We are having trouble.

Master Chun got arrested.

What?

Someone sued him.

Sued him?

For what? Talk to me!

For

attempted rape.

Buddha bless us!

Buddha bless us!

Buddha bless us!

Buddha bless us!

Buddha bless us!

Buddha bless us!

Buddha bless us!

Buddha bless us!

Tumi.

What are you doing?

Come here.

Kneel and pray.

Ask Buddha

to bless your father.

If you hadn't sent Zhou

to send a message to your parents,

we wouldn't have ended up

with no one

to inquire.

Old Master Chun escorted the prisoner

to Lingnan.

There is no man

we can rely on in this family.

Is there any other way

other than asking Mrs. Chun's parents to help?

Who's suing?

Do they have any witnesses and evidence?

How did my father defend?

Did he suffer from any corporal punishment? What was the sentence?

You don't know anything yet.

How could you still pray here?

Buddha, please forgive us.

Please forgive us.

Tumi,

your father really spoiled you.

How dare you offend the Buddha?

So what?

Father has been imprisoned.

Can Buddha protect him

from being punished?

He is military personnel.

If he was dragged back to the military and got beaten up again

after the court closed the case,

what should we do?

What should we do?

Don't cry.

According to the law,

they have to go through three trials

before they close the case.

There will be a day between each trial.

In other words,

we have four days

to figure things out.

That's good.

After my parents send help here,

we'll take some money

to the court and pull some strings...

That will be worse.

We are a military family.

Bribery is a bigger crime.

My Lady.

How was it? -My lady.

The first trial closed this afternoon.

There were witnesses and pieces of evidence.

But Master Chun claimed he was wronged.

He's now in jail.

This can't be happening!

I have to go to the court.

Guo.

This is the new guy

from Linshui Pavilion, Jinyi.

Jinyi.

This is our lady, Miss Chun.

Miss Chun.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Miss Chun.

Have you been to the government office?

No.

But my grandfather

has been working for the government.

If I go,

Master Ouyang will be willing to meet, won't he?

Jinyi.

What is the information

on your side?

I heard that

the one who sued Master Chun is a widow.

She's very ferocious.

When I was asking around for some information,

I heard Mrs. He

gossipping about that widow's love affairs.

She even asked me for credit.

She said after she heard the news,

it was her who informed Zhou

so that Mrs. Chun could get to know.

Wait.

We got the notice not from

the government,

but Mrs. He?

That's not right.

The procedure did not

follow the book.

Maybe that was the style

of the stupid magistrate.

This can't be right.

This is great injustice.
