Lord. Is he taken away? Yes. Just watch how it develops. Nobody else has been to that room. You must have taken it. I just borrowed it to mend my clothes. You can’t use everything except scissors. What’s the matter? Oh, lord, a matter of scissors. It’s just a trifling matter. Don’t quarrel outside the study. It’s not a trifling matter. Get in. Come in. Lord, he took the scissors. Liu Fang. I…I… Lord told me to put away knives, scissors and ropes. I keep it in my mind. Are you afraid that I’ll commit suicide? Don’t worry, lord. I won’t commit suicide. The case will be tried soon. I just want to bring it to the court. It’s not needed. It’s fine if the trial result is impartial. But, if it isn’t impartial, I’ll kill my foe in person with it to avenge my father-in-law and husband. Reckless! Too reckless! Liu Fang. Take her scissors. Hurry up. Yes. Take it out. I’ll put it away. Lord has made much effort for your case recently. Don’t make trouble. Lord is here. He’ll get everything arranged. Jiang Yuzhen, are you afraid of being beaten? Wei-wu. Your Majesty. Let’s start. Take the plaintiff to the court. Take the plaintiff to the court. What’s your name? I’m Jiang Yuzhen. Who and what are you suing? I’m suing Wang Qing from Changdu County. He committed adultery and murdered my father-in-law and my husband. Um, a civilian sues an official. Minister Wang. I’m here. What does the Law of Great Ming specify about this? Flog the civilian with 20 beats first and then interrogate. But, the defendant Wang Qing isn’t an official. I don’t argue with you. What does the Law of Great Ming specify? Wang Qing’s family has the hereditary title of nobility and gets the salary from the imperial court. So, he should be regarded as an official. Um, what else do you want to say, Lord Liu? Jiang Yuzhen, I ask you again. Will you still sue him or give up? I’ll sue him. You are a woman. I advise you to give up and leave here to avoid the beatdown. I must sue. Do you insist? Yes. An individual is no match of the law. After you are flogged, you may have no strength to speak. Pardon, can you exempt Jiang Yuzhen from the beatdown? It’s clearly regulated in the law. How can it be changed at will? But this rule is made for men. Jiang Yuzhen is a woman. If she can’t get it through, how can we try the case later? Now that it’s a rule specified in the law, I’m willing to suffer. Your Majesty, Implementation of the law shall not vary with each individual. I can’t exempt her from the beatdown. I’m just waiting for this sentence of you. Drag her out and beat her. I can walk by myself. Your Majesty never goes back to your words. Implementation of the law shall not vary with each individual. I have no complaint about the beatdown. I hope the trial of the case can be impartial and shall not vary with individual. Hold on. Don't take off her clothes or beat her vital organs. Be gentle. Your Majesty is merciful. Take her away. One! Two! Three! The woman is quite firm. and even doesn’t moan at all. I’m not sure what’s going on with Hu Weiyong. Eight! Nine! Ten! Can you really bear it? I must. Alas, it’s hard for you. After Changdu County Magistrate was taken away, it’s uncertain whether we’ll win or not. I risked my life to the capital and didn’t plan to survive. But I have a request. Go ahead. If I die in the court, please take in my helpless daughter, Lord Liu. Please keep her as a maidservant in your mansion and don’t starve her. If so, I make an oath now that your daughter will be my won younger sister. She won’t be hungry as long as I’m not. However, don’t commit suicide. Report! The beatdown execution is finished. Take her here. Yes, Jiang Yuzhen well, can you answer questions now? Yes, I can. So, kneel down and answer. She was beaten just now. How can she kneel down? His Majesty is here. It’s absurd if she doesn’t kneel down. How about rescheduling the trial? How about trying the case on another day after she heals? I can kneel. Can you bear it? Yes. So, let’s start. Why isn’t there any news from Hu Weiyong? I think you can’t bear it. Lord Li, why do you always badger with trivial matters? Is this a trivial matter? Am I badgering? It matters His Majesty’s dignity and officials’ decency. Look! She can’t keep kneeling. It’s quite inglorious. All right. It’s not a performance. I don’t need pomp. Jiang Yuzhen, if you are too painful to kneel, I allow you to get down and answer. So just get down. Take the defendant Wang Qing. Greetings, Uncle Majesty and Uncle Li. How are you, Uncle Wang? He is a kinsman of His Majesty. Take a seat to him. Don’t take any seat to him. Let him stand. What are you doing? Get ahead. What is he waiting for? Hasn’t he succeeded in disposing the magistrate? Prime minister. Wang Qing, what’s your name? Wang Qing, son of Princess Royal from Changdu County. Someone sued you of adultery and thuggery. She said you murdered two people. Do you plead guilty? No. What I said is completely true. That’s only your partial statement. If I say you are my mother, is that true? Impudent! Don’t talk nonsense! Plaintiff, do you have any evidence? Wang Qing’s adultery with my father-in-law’s second wife is known to all my neighbors. Do you have testimony of witness or documentary evidence? Civilians are afraid of the power of Wang’s family. Nobody is willing to testify. So, you have no evidence. The plaintiff has no testimony of witness or documentary evidence. Write it down. No evidence is available for the crime of adultery. So, thuggery is also unsubstantiated. I once filed a lawsuit. What’s that case? My father-in-law died in a strange way. I suspected that he died of poisoning. Did you have an autopsy? My husband requested an autopsy. But the county magistrate refused. Why did he refuse? He colluded with Wang Qing as an accomplice. What’s your evidence? What I said is completely true. The government should look for the evidence. If you don’t provide evidence, how can the government investigate? If all people file lawsuits in this way, all ministries will be overloaded and can’t handle any other affairs. Your Majesty, Changdu County Magistrate are arrested and ready to the court. Why not call him in? Okay, take him to the court. Why hasn’t he… Please Call Changdu County Magistrate in. Take Changdu County Magistrate to the court. Lord, Changdu County Magistrate committed suicide in the waiting room just now. Suicide? What did you do? We weren’t negligent. The county magistrate just asked for some water and then after he drank it… Minister Wang. I’m here. Your Ministry of Punishments must investigate it thoroughly and report the result to me. Yes. He didn’t die in the imperial guards’ office, but in the waiting room of the court. Li Shanchang passed the buck completely. What a clever trick! What will His Majesty think? Hu Weiyong did a good job. The time and place are perfect. Liu Bowen? I’m here. Who took him away from imperial guards’ office? Who watched him? Send them to imperial guards. Make clear why he died. I’ll cut the criminal into pieces. Yes, Your Majesty. What happened? You invited me to attend the trial. But the critical witness died. How to try the case? You are fined three months’ salary. Yes, Your Majesty. Liu Bowen, in your view, how to handle this case? Yes, what’s your opinion, Lord Liu? What opinion does he have? I think the case should be over. It’s obvious she lodged a false accusation against me. She isn’t suing me. Actually, she is suing my uncle, His Majesty. I know someone thinks his official post granted by His Majesty is inferior. So, he hatches a sinister plot and make trouble. What else? What are the other crimes? Wang Qing, don’t blab about something unrelated to this case. I haven’t finished yet. Shut up! If you still talk nonsense, I’ll slap you right now. Well, I stop. Defendant Wang Qing, what else do you want to say about this case? I want to sue the plaintiff. She lodged a false accusation against me. Do you have an indictment? I haven’t written it. Wang Qing’s lawsuit will be handled separately. No evidence is available for this case. It’s settled. The trial is over. The trial is over. Hold on. Your Majesty, do you want to settle the case this way? What do you want? I want to comment. Why don’t you say earlier? Well, you are really bothersome. Upon the completion of a levee or case trial, you start to harp. Your Majesty. Um. This case matters a lot. Officials and civilians pay much attention to it. Should it be over this way? Liu Bowen, are you done? No! God can see. Where is your conscience? Till now, I see that I can’t win the lawsuit in this world. So, I’ll go to the nether world and sue you to Yama. Impudent! Drag her away. Hurry up. Get up. Ghosts will come to take you away. In the Hall of Yama in the nether world, confront me, my husband and father-in-law with the case. Don’t do that. How is he? Her pulse feels much better than yesterday. But… Please try you best to cure her, doctor. Take a seat. I’ll spare no effort. As a doctor, It’s my duty to cure patients. Moreover, this woman is so gallant. There is a hearsay about her in folk. They all admire her a lot. Oh, What’s the hearsays? It’s so hard for civilians to redress an injustice. Lord, why? Words don’t help. Make a prescription. Okay, Okay, I make a prescription right now. Actually, there isn’t any other way excepting taking medicine internally or on the skin. Herbs that activate blood circulation and dissipates stasis are rhizome of chuanxiong, peach kernel, Carthamus tinctorius, red paeony root and cattail pollen. Doctor. Yes? Is olibanum added? Wow, you are an expert. it has the same function of hemostasis detoxification as the herbs in the prescription. But the price… Oh, don’t consider the cost. The top priority is to save her. Okay, I’ll add it. Okay, I add it to the prescription. The next is gastrodia. Lord, can I add some ginseng slices? It’s permissible. But she is very weak now. Can she absorb the medicine? So, I add 20g fibrous ginseng root to each prescription. Okay. Fine. Fibrous ginseng root. Done. Please check, lord. Liu Fang. Yes, I’m here. Send the doctor home. Yes. See you. Um. Doctor, please. Look! What’s this? Rock candy. It’s very sweet. Do you want to eat? No, I don’t. I don’t want any candy. I want my mother. I told you. You mother is sleeping and hasn’t woke up yet. Why is my mother always sleeping and doesn’t wake up? Brother, tell me. What should I say? Even my lord gets coward this time and dare not plead for your mother. What can I say? Will she never wake up? I already told you if your mother never wakes up, I’ll bring you up and then find a good man as your husband after you grow up. I don’t need you to bring me up. I don’t want husband. I just want my mother. Let’s play the horse-riding game. Ride on my neck. Come on. Liu Yi. I don’t want to play a game or ride on your neck. Girl, eat the candy. Whew, what’s up? What’s the matter? What’s wrong with you? You’re long-faced as if someone owes you a lot. I’m not glad. Lord, you are well-known for your smart strategies. Why were you so wishy-washy in the court? You dare not punish that bastard but make the good person suffer an unjust grievance. Lord, I’m disappointed with you. Whew, Liu Yi, won’t you work with me? No, I quit. All right, you quit. I’ll go to Big Leopard. Whew, lord, you have an idea, right? I guess so. Well, you must have an idea. What can I do for you? Come. Oops. Whew. Well, Lord Liu, I’m thinking about you. Oh. How bold you are to involve His Majesty in the case? Well, you… Brother Lian, Brother Lian, Please keep it for me in case something unexpected happens to me. What will you do? Hush! Hush! Take a seat. Come on. We can discuss it in the levee. Lord Song. Lord Liu. Um, Lord you, I want to tell you… Hush! It’s time for levee. Please come to the hall. I want to report. What’s up? The case of Wang Qing in Changdu County… Yech, Liu Bowen, His Majesty witnessed the trial of the case. It has been settled. What do you want to say? The dead are still wronged and the murderer hasn’t been arrested. How can the case be settled? So, I advise to retry the case. There must a plaintiff. Who is the plaintiff? It can’t be you, Liu Bowen. Jiang Yuzhen is the plaintiff. She disturbed the court and attempted to suicide. Are you standing for her? Lord Li, as officials, we must be loyal to His Majesty. M any officials and civilians whisper about the case of Wang Qing. It matters the state stability. We should advise honestly. Is that woman awake can able to speak? Not yet. So, there isn’t any plaintiff. How to try a lawsuit without a plaintiff. I’m the plaintiff. Are you the plaintiff? Exactly. Okay, answer my question. If Wang Qing committed the crime of thuggery, how much did you lose? If Wang Qing was a murderer, who was killed by him in your family? I’m not for myself. Now that you’re not involved in the case, this case has nothing to do with you. How can you be the plaintiff? I’m not suing Wang Qing but His Majesty. Ah? Well, Lord Liu is insane. Impudent! Liu Bowen, why do you sue me? Wang Qing has committed crimes. But Your Majesty is partial to him. Bullshit! Did His Majesty interfere with the trial of Wang Qing’s case? He didn’t talk in the court. Moreover, he attended the trial for impartiality. The silence indicated unspoken words. The attendance implied the attitude. Liu Bowen, you affront me. Do you intend to rebel? Your Majesty, I risk my life to present my indictment. Dare you accept it? Liu Bowen, have you ever thought about the consequence? As an official, it’s my duty to plead for the people. I’ll take all consequences. Censorate minister Liu Bowen requests Your Majesty to accept my indictment. Rebellious! Rebellious! Levee censor! Arrest him! Arrest him! Yes. Hold on. Liu Bowen, you humiliated His Majesty. All officials here witnessed that. What else can you say? Your Majesty, I plead guilty. But I beg you to accept my indictment. I’m willing to die to apologize to all people in the world. Take his indictment. Liu Bowen, you exasperated His Majesty. and didn’t leave any leeway for yourself. Criminal minister Liu Bowen is at Your Majesty's disposal. Put him to prison. Li Shanchang. I’m here. You presided over the amendment of the Law of Great Ming. How to deal with Liu Bowen? It’s implicitly specified in the law. He is sinful. I’ll look up the clauses of the law. Put Liu Bowen to prison. Punish him as per the law after prime minister figures out his charges. Criminal minister Liu Bowen bids farewell to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I want to report. Go ahead. In the past, sinful ministers weren’t put into prison. Instead, they were remanded at home. What if they committed a capital crime? Wouldn’t they be sentenced? If so, they were ordered to commit suicide for their dignity. What Lord Liu said makes sense. But… I agree. Remand Liu Bowen at home. Will Your Majesty really kill Liu Bowen? You are quite well-informed. Li Shanchang told you, right? Don’t ask that. You can’t kill Liu Bowen. If I don’t kill him, I should sentence my own nephew to death. Ah? Who should I kill? If you kill Liu Bowen, you’ll disappoint all scholars in the world. But if you kill Qing, we are only sorry to your deceased sister. Which is more important? Consider it, Your Majesty. Well, you mean I should sentence Wang Qing to death. It’s not wrong to care for him. But we both know how to handle the case if he isn’t your nephew. Alas, my sister is of great kindness. Why her son is so disappointing? You feel sorry to your deceased sister. But all the people are waiting for a just result. Think about that woman. Her family broke up and family members were killed unjustly. I feel grieved for her story. I’ve thought about that. I planned to tell Li Shanchang to give some money to her. Then she could live a good life. But Liu Bowen pissed me off. He dishonored me in the presence of all officials. Between personal honor and great Ming’s governance, which is more important? Well, in your opinion, what should I do? Whew, Your Majesty is always composed. But why do you want me to determine it? What else did Li Shanchang say? Nothing special. He asked me to persuade you to calm your anger. Li Shanchang looks honest and loyal. But actually. he is slick and sly. Humph! Shanchang puts down personal animosity for the interest of the public this time. He did it well. Does he consider the interest of the public? I never know that. Anyway, he didn’t incite you to kill Liu Bowen this time. If you really kill Liu Bowen, what will the people think of you? Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, you connive at your relative to murder others. I’ll fry you in the pot and send you to the hell. Oops, Your Majesty. Ah, when did I fall asleep? Did you have a dream? No. Really? You shouted just now. Look at the sweat on your head. Whew. Does the hell really exist? Ah? I dreamt about the hell. Will people be punished for their evil deeds after they die? What happened in the hell? I went to the Palace of Hell and saw Yama. Oh, what did Yama do to you? Nothing. He didn’t do nothing to me. I think Yama dare not embarrass you. As the saying goes, Even a devil is afraid of an ugly mug. What did you mean? I didn’t study a lot in school and couldn’t find proper words. Don’t be angry, Your Majesty. I mean you’ve gone go through thick and thin. Right? You survive amongst the slain in battles. Yama doesn’t want to take you away. If he really wants, he doesn’t have to wait until now. Look at you. More and more absurd. I cut the crap. I’ve gone too far today and it’s time to stop. Hey, what’s going on with that lady? Whew, dream reflects your concerns. Are you concerned about that lady? As long as I recall that lady knocking her head against the pillar, I’ll… Alas. Your Majesty, you look pale. Li’s family has a supreme ginseng. How about…? No needed. I have nightmares recently. How about inviting a wizard to subdue any supernatural being? Absurd! It will be laughing-stock if others hear that. Or, we can do as Emperor Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty. and paste pictures of the Door God in your resting palace. Humph! Alas, who will keep vigil for me? Your Majesty, if you trust me, I’m willing to keep vigil at the entrance to your rest room every night. All right, stop it. As for the case of Wang Qing, how did people comment on it? Did they have any complaint? Absolutely no. People all say that the trial result is imperial based on evidence. Really? Well, an ordinary woman sued Your Majesty’s kinsman. Your Majesty wasn’t partial to him. Moreover, you attended the trial of the case to figure out the truth. That woman just intended to make fortune or fame by the chance of her false accusation. She suicided after her ulterior motive was known. People said she deserved to die and you were magnanimous. You didn’t sentence her. How merciful you are! Heh! Shanchang, You're getting better at telling lies. Ah? Liu Fang, What’s going on with Liu Yi? It’s done. The messenger said it’s done and Liu Yi will come back soon. Good. What is good? Whew, Lord Song. Lord Liu. Serve tea to Lord Song. Yes. Lord Song. Well, Lord Liu, you don’t look like the one who is remanded to await trial. Ha-ha-ha. You look quite glad. Well, I regret to plead for you in that court. I’m curious about how you will look like in prison. Ha-ha-ha. How is it going? Do you have any news about His Majesty? Lord Liu, will His Majesty really kill me? Do you think you’ll survive? As the censorate minister, you offended so many people. Yes. Many people envy and hate you. Prime Minister Li desperately hates you. Lord Song, Prime Minister Li is clever. He won’t get himself into this trouble. He is the principal judge for the case of Wang Qing. All the people are watching it. If His Majesty regrets someday, it will be Li’s guilt to wrongly sentence me. He won’t do that. Take a seat. Lord Liu, it’s a risky strategy. Frankly speaking, I was scared a lot that day. What’s risky strategy? I risk my life indeed. I give it back to you. Thank you, Lord Song. Since you are here, I have a request. What’s the matter? Please submit it to His Majesty. Well… Don’t you want to know what’s inside the envelop? I can get the general ideas without reading it. You want to entrust me to take care of your family in case that you are sentenced. Right? Not right. Check it. It seems a statement of confession. It’s the confession of the deceased Changdu County Magistrate. It indicates all crimes of Wang Qing. It’s abundantly clear. To tell the truth I’m afraid that His Majesty will search my mansion and confiscate my property. If it’s lost, Jiang Yuzhen’s injustice can never be redressed. I feel ashamed. I thought you were for your family. But actually, you are for public affairs. You are greatly broad-minded. Oops, I’m flattered. I have another purpose to keep it. What’s your purpose? To save my own life. When His Majesty is really about to behead me, I’ll take it out and shout loudly that I want to report. Ha-ha-ha. I’m confused. Now that you have this confession, why didn’t you present it during the case trial that day? It wasn’t the due time. Oh. What are you waiting for? Lord, Lord, here comes Her Grace. Lord Liu, I’m leaving from the rear door. Okay. Hey, Lord Song, I’ve found a person to submit the letter. Thank you so much. You’re too quick-witted. Lord, please. Has she seen a doctor? Yes. She woke up occasionally recently. Whew, is the girl her daughter? Yes. Come here. Come here, girl. Whew. what a poor child! I stewed some silkie soup with dates for her and her mother Thank you, Your Grace. Take good care of her and prevent her from committing suicide. Yes. I’ll plead for His Majesty. I do this just for the poor child. I have another request to Your Grace. Go ahead. I have a letter. Can you forward it to His Majesty? All right. Thank you, Your Grace. Your Majesty. Um. Back off. Yes. That woman has woken up. I saw that in person. Thank goodness. That’s fine. Are you afraid? What? Afraid of nightmare. Absurd! Like you, I also care about that child. Exactly! We used to be poor and often bullied. I understand all the principles. But the criminal is that bastard Wang Qing. You don’t want to be guilty to your deceased sister. If it was another person, I have already chopped him into pieces. You didn’t need to do that in person. Yes, if it was another person, local magistrates have already sentenced him. What else did Liu Bowen say? Nothing else. Oh, by the way, he wanted to give you the letter. Why did he ask you to submit the memorial? Hey, did you gang up? You’re narrow-minded. I’ll tear it if you don’t check. Don’t tear it. I’ll check. What does it read? Humph! He asked to retry Jiang Yuzhen’s case. What do you think, Your Majesty? Well, I originally felt sympathy for him. But now, I feel upset to be forced by him. He said he aimed to share my worries. How sophistical he is! He has gone too far and doesn’t know when to stop. He is too clever by half. Haste makes waste. He’s too aggressive! Too aggressive! Music
