Episode 8

How dare you abusing lynch?!

He's going with me

since we caught him.

It's such a shame to me

as the feudal government

to fall behind the Qi's in catching this fugitive.

He has killed dozens of Qi people

and made several attempts to assassin our master.

He is flagrant.

Hu County has always been a simple and honest place.

Now that we have

such a notorious devil here,

I'll punish him for sure.

Damn!

Don't you understand?!

He killed in the Qi's place

and was caught here as well.

This is none of your business.

Stay out!

What the hell!

Screw you.

How dare you

talk to me like that?!

Get out of the way.

Since he is caught now,

of course we should take him away.

No one shall judge it in private

and hold it back from the feudal government.

Take him.

We'll kill whoever

stands in the way.

Yes, my lord!

How dare you!

I killed over 20 people indeed.

Perhaps you have the reasons to.

Lord, an eye for an eye.

I don't feel wronged.

I only have the regret of not killing the one

who deserves it the most.

So he does.

And he shouldn't be left there

with a natural death.

Li Yuncong,

give him good accommodation.

I'll bring him to trial in person.

Yes, my lord

Thank goodness. Only one man come.

Yes!

If another 8 or 10 come,

we'll be crowded as arhats.

Absolutely.

He can't fit in here.

No. It's full here.

Open the door.

What's going on?

Is he letting us go?

Get moving!

Everybody out!

Officer,

are you going to set us free?

Thank you, officer.

Thank you!

Did I ever say that?

Split up the people here

and put them in the other cells.

Spare this cell out.

Lord,

are you sparing it out

for this guy?

Enough talk.

Do as you're told.

We're all prisoners.

Why does he get a whole room?

Because he dares to assassin Qi Mu

at such a young age.

And because he killed more than 20 men

from Qi Mu on his own.

Can you guys do it?

Move out!

OK! OK!

Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

County Magistrate Assistant Meng, please stay.

My lord,

I don't drink.

You're still young.

But everyone has to grow.

No man

can live without the taste of liquor.

At the beginning,

you will need to take it

one sip at a time.

Till the time you can have it like water,

you can gulp it as much as you can.

The whole Hu County knows about your story.

Why don't you report it to the feudal government

and appeal to personal grudge.

Feudal government?

Will there by anyone taking care of it?

It's of no use.

Listen to me.

You have to trust the feudal government.

I know you don't,

but don't you forget that

I also work for it.

Wei Wu!

Bring in the person who beat the drum.

Bring in the person who beat the drum.

Salute!

Who's standing there?

Why don't you kneel before the lord?!

Judicial Clerk Ai!

Judicial Clerk Ai!

Judicial Clerk Ai!

What are you doing?

I'm suing

on behalf of someone

Who is it?

Hua Yunfei, the hunter.

Isn't he imprisoned already?

Why would you defend for a convict sentenced to death?

Hua Yunfei is indeed a convict with death sentence.

However, my lord, it's a false sentence.

He has to be defended.

So…

who is he suing against?

I was just entrusted.

As to who Hua Yunfei sues against,

you may bring him onto the court

and ask him yourself.

Bring Hua Yunfei on court!

My lord,

The plaintiff is a vicious convict.

For the sake of your safety,

I humbly request to sit on the trial.

Granted! Give him a seat.

Thank you, my lord!

Hua Yunfei, whom are you suing

and what are the charges?

Tell me the truth!

No false testimony accepted on court.

If you dare to give false testimony,

you'll be sentenced twice as serious.

I'm suing Qi Mu

for working with evil people

to take my parents' lives.

Do you have evidence

for it?

Remember!

The method doesn't matter.

What matters is the result.

You play in fair manner

with a man of noble character.

You play in dirty manner

with villains.

I witnessed it with my own eyes.

You witnessed it?

Yes.

Why didn't you save them

when you were on site?

Instead, you'd rather avenge them

after they got killed.

They poisoned me.

I was not able to move

and had to hide.

If so,

why don't you report it to the feudal government

but appeal to personal grudge.

Feudal government?

Qi Mu has done a lot of notorious things.

Has the feudal government taken any actions?

Nonsense!

My lord,

he killed Qi Mu's men in specific,

which is obviously meant to avenge his parents.

Killing undoubtedly deserves death sentence,

but it can't

erase the fact that

his parents were killed

by Qi Mu.

Judicial Clerk Ai is quite right.

Since Hua Yunfei has witnessed

Qi Mu as the murderer,

I think we should

arrest Qi Mu Immediately,

my lord!

Judicial Clerk Ai,

I'm having a severe headache now.

Now I give you full right to handle this case.

You can decide on your own.

Yes, my lord.

Please take care!

Brothers

and friends

Qi Mu is like a big moth

in Hu County.

He sees no law in his eyes.

A lot of folks have gone through

his bad deeds.

Why would he still be breathing free air?

Some would say

he has money and power.

The common people can say this,

but you can't.

The common people can be afraid of Qi Mu,

but you can't.

You stand for the imperial court.

You are soldiers.

You have the law,

the stamp and the sword.

Don't be afraid of him.

Brothers,

what you lack is passion,

bravery and power.

But I know that

you have them all.

Bring out your determination

and fight against people like Qi Mu.

You gotta be more vicious and more aggressive than him.

Qi Mu says

he is the heaven of Hu County.

Pooh!

He is no more than a cloud.

A cloud will fade away sooner or later.

The rain will not last forever.

The sky will be clear in the end.

Look!

The rain has stopped.

It stopped.

Brother!

Why are you here?

Because the rain is heavy.

What does it have to do

with you coming here?

I've got no business with the heavy rain,

so I was very bored,

and I thought of you.

Then I came.

Set out!

Master, we're in trouble.

The crazy Ai has come with a lot of people.

He says he's here to arrest you.

Master, he's no friend.

You should leave here.

No!

Master, you'll find a way back

as long as you stay alive.

If I leave, there will be a different owner here.

Put down the weapons.

Put them down!

I'm going with you.

Take him!

Take him!

Big brother,

you're too honest.

Why would you

chase him all the way down?

We should get back

at the time when we couldn't find Yang Yao.

Get back?

To where?

I don't want to

get back.

To be very honest here today,

I've got the concrete evidence to prove that

our madame has killed Yang Yao's mother.

If we keep Yang Yao in our hands,

she can sue madame

after she grows up.

You know

madame has no offspring.

Then all the assets

will be left to Yang Yao as the only kid.

But Yang Yao is too young.

Then I'll get all the assets,

right?

Stop laughing!

You lucky humbugs

have got your day.

If it hasn't been Lord Ai's arresting of Qi Mu,

you would die without any defense.

Thanks for caring us.

Off you go!

Go back!

Go back!

My lord,

Qi Mu is already arrested into the prison van.

Waiting for your instruction now.

Tell everyone

to be as boasted as possible

when we get back.

Show as much power as we can.

Obviously!

Chief brother,

third brother,

uncle, uncle, let's go back home!

Enough of it!

It takes money to get back.

Get out of my sight!

Lord Ai is here!

Ye Xiaotian!

Almighty Lord Ai! Remarkable Lord Ai!

Almighty Lord Ai! Remarkable Lord Ai!

Why is it him?

Almighty Lord Ai! Remarkable Lord Ai!

Li,

what's going on?

You promised me a white horse.

Why do you give me a black donkey?

My lord, we really have a tight budget.

Please settle with it. Thank you!

Thank you for your support.

There has been a lot of customers lately.

I'm deadly busy.

Look how much weight

I've lost.

Right! Look at you!

Your neck is visible now.

Yeah!

And the girl from the Wang's next door

wants to tailor make clothes for me.

I disagreed because it will take too much cloth.

She didn't listen to me.

She just had to make the clothes for me.

And the girl from the Ma's

wants to make dumpling for me.

After she brought that to me, none of them had any wrapper.

They are all tiny meatballs.

The meatballs were so greasy.

Oh really!

It must be difficult for you to choose.

How shameless you are!

Which girl will be so dumb to like you!

It's true.

Whatever!

I'm going to get something to eat.

Love! Where is my love!

Miss,

how can I help you?

Sir,

do you have jars

for keeping insects?

Yes, we have!

No.

That's as big as your face.

Excuse me!

We have.

This one looks fine!

How much is it?

It's free.

Free?

It's a gift for you.

You have a crush on me,

don't you?

No! No! No!

You'd better not.

I wouldn't dare to accept it

if you do.

But I need to remind you.

You'll soon lose all your money

by doing business like this.

No worries!

What's wrong with you?

It's love.

You don't understand love. You don't.

Oh my god!

You're nuts.

Qi Mu is arrested.

Almighty Lord Ai.

Do you hear it? Let's go!

Qi Mu is arrested?

Almighty Lord Ai! Remarkable Lord Ai!

The bad ass is coming.

Smash him! Smash him!

Beat him!

Beat him! Beat him!

Mam,

I have a question in my mind for a long time.

What's the question?

I've been wondering

how come these common people

have all the bad eggs

and stale vegetables.

Are they saving these for today to toss?

I think they should toss a brick

on this occasion.

Smash him to death!

Beat him to death!

Why are you looking at me like that?!

My brick is here!

And mine is here!

Then it's cool.

Almighty Lord Ai! Remarkable Lord Ai!

Now that Qi Mu is under arrest,

the masses are all confident now.

Those who were once persecuted by the Qi's

should have the courage to sue him on court.

You're right to say so.

There is no chance for Qi Mu to escape from his charges.

Almighty Lord Ai! Remarkable Lord Ai!

Almighty Lord Ai!

I'm Li Qiuchi from Shuixi.

Who is this guy?

My lord,

he is the NO. 1 lawyer in Guizhou.

He resolved a lot of private matters between the rich families

which couldn't be resolved in private.

He has a large social network

with many rich families.

This would be a lot simpler

as you know my role.

It's right that

I'm a lawyer

who defends for others.

This time, I'm entrusted by master Qi

to come to Hu County and redress the wrong charges for Chancellor Meng,

obviously, including master Qi himself.

So you are Judicial Clerk Ai.

How are you going to defend

without recognizing the stakeholders here?!

Well,

I have a few questions to figure out

as to the wrong charges of my trustee.

Master, good luck has come.

Mr. Li has come in time.

He said

Guiyang has arranged a mysterious person to take care of it.

He will ensure Chancellor Meng's and your safety.

Break them up!

No!

No!

Get down!

I'll save you for sure, master!

Master! Master!

Get down!

Don't worry about it, master!

What's wrong with that?!

Which part of it is improper for the Qi's family

to meet his master?

Now listen to me.

You can just sue against him

if you have any trace of evidence.

Don't you try to turn the verdict against him

with all these concerns.

Escort him away!

How dare you

insult me.

Move!

You insult…

Don't you insult me! Move!

Let me go! Move! Move!

Stay put!

You're also a literate person.

How dare you do this to me!

No way!

Let's go!

Damn you!

Put your hands off me! Let's go!

Put your hands off me!

Let me go, OK?

Shut up!

Master Qi,

I'll get you out

within several days.

This way, County Magistrate! Come!

Come!

Come on! Everyone is ready!

They're ready for quite some time.

Come on! Come on!

Come on…

Come on!

The court starts in a minute.

Come on! Take the seat!

Yes!

Take your seat!

My lord,

there is a law practitioner called Li Qiuchi in town.

Eh,

County Magistrate, what's the matter?

Oh, no…

I'm having the headache again.

I'm can't stand it anymore. Help me out for a rest.

County Magistrate,

Judicial Clerk Ai is escorting him.

Qi Mu has already…

Gone!

Secretary Wang, please take the lead,

will you?

I'm afraid so.

Let's go!

Yes! Yes!

Be careful, my lord!

This way please.

Thank you!

I feel flattered by you.

It's a great honor for me.

You're eliminating villains for the people.

You deserve our praises.

Yes!

Don't be any more modest, Mr. Ai.

Secretary Wang, as Qi Mu is escorted here,

shall we start the interrogation immediately?

The county magistrate was prepared to hold the court trial

and welcome your arrival,

but his headache came again all of a sudden,

so he had to leave for a rest.

So how should we start the trial?

Headache?

Yeah!

Just now, someone whispered to him.

This is the County Magistrate.

Then suddenly his headache broke out.

Perhaps,

he was frightened by the whisper

which made him uncomfortable.

Yes, that's right!

Let's go!

Please! After you! After you!

Thank you!

Master,

how do you feel now?

I'm feeling OK now.

That's great then.

Master, Judicial Clerk Ai has come to see you.

Nice to meet you, madame!

Don't stand on ceremony, Judicial Clerk Ai.

My lord,

I've arrested Qi Mu

for the trial right now.

Shall we take this opportunity to…

No! No!

It's not that I don't want to hold the trial.

I'm just…

My lord,

Qi Mu is under arrest.

His people must be very worried now.

This is a great chance

for us

to clean Hu County.

I'm not a person who gives up on business for personal matters.

I'm honestly…

very sick right now.

Master, Judicial Clerk Ai is right.

If you keep acting like this

instead of being decisive,

it'll be disastrous

and cause nightmares.

Shut up!

No woman shall interfere with the matters from government office.

You discriminate woman?

Fine!

Madame! Madame!

Madame! Madame!

Nice to see you, my lord!

Stop it!

My lord, it look like that

the magistrate is going to give up again.

Since Qi Mu invited Li here,

he must have more backups.

If we delay this, there will be unexpected changes, my lord.

He sees no law in his eyes,

so will I.

You've got an idea?

Bring him in!

Yes!

Get in!

Let's go!

Don't worry.

I've invited the best lawyer in Guizhou.

We shall go out

in no more than 3 to 5 days.

Enough!

Sit here please!

It's all yours.

Hua Yunfei,

here you are!

Madame, don't be mad at me!

It's all my fault.

Madame, I wasn't quite myself.

We can be safe only by working prudently.

I just can't understand, master.

You could stay conservative to evade from Qi Mu's edges in the past

when he was doing bad things.

I could understand that.

And later on when he was in fight

against Judicial Clerk Ai,

you wanted to stay impartial.

I could also understand.

But now Qi Mu has already been detained.

Why are you still hesitating

and refuse to hold the trial?

Madame, there is something beyond your sight.

Qi Mu has a powerful organization

in Hu County

for more than a decade.

Master, bad news!

What happened again?

We got news from the cell that

as soon as Qi Mu was put in jail,

he got killed by Hua Yunfei.

Chancellor Meng was put in the same cell with him

and was also killed.

Get in!

Hua Yunfei!

Dad!

Mom!

I finally avenged you.

All the prisoners in jail broke out

and escaped altogether.

Hua Yunfei killed Chancellor Meng and Qi Mu?!

Yeah!

Why did you put them together in one cell?

Master, we have a tight budget.

Engineering bureau has reported to you many times

to ask for more money to enlarge and renovate the jail,

but you always said

the court has a limited money.

So the jail has less budget

than the court.

How could you…

Eh…

How many prisoners here?

My lord, you have urged Judicial Clerk Ai

to crack down on all illegal activities.

Because of that,

we had a lot of various types of prisoners here in jail.

Even so, how could you

put them three together in one cell.

My lord, all other cells were full.

They really couldn't fit in.

Besides,

they are important criminals

who shouldn't be put together with regular criminals.

And, my lord,

I have cuffed them

at the time.

No one is expecting this to happen

with handcuffs on.

But it just happened.

And he's been shackled as well

with this.

As far as I know,

Qi Mu is good at martial art.

I'm also wondering about that.

Since they were cuffed and shackled,

Hua Yunfei must be able to pick a lock.

He is no good people, my lord.

Hua Yunfei was unlocked,

but Qi Mu and Chancellor Meng were not.

So that means

he can pick a lock.

Does that indicate

he also unlocked the jail gate?

Then…

Eh…

where were the jailers?

Where have you guys been?

Master, don't worry..

My lord, it goes back to

the tight budget again.

Engineering bureau has reported to you many times

to ask for more money to enlarge and renovate the jail,

but you always said the court has a limited money.

So we're more tight with the cells.

So I…

I…

So what do we do?

Tell me what the jailers were doing.

After Qi Mu was killed,

all the prisoners were frightened.

Some were frightened. Some yelled with praise.

It's was quite a chaos.

Everyone shoved one another

and collapsed the wall, my lord.

The wall collapsed?

Yes!

The jail wall was shoved collapsed.

Master!

Eh…

Master! Master!

My lord!

Master, are you alright?

Master!

Master!

Master, wake up!

Hold the dantian

and guanyuan acupoint.

And press the yongquan,

zhangmen acupoint

Heavenly King!

All investigation is clear now in Hu County, right?

Heavenly King,

three years ago, the minority headman in Hu passed away without offsprings.

Then the feudal government turned his land into a county

and had it governed by mobile official.

Stabilize the lower body. Attack the middle of his curved bone.

Get to the point!

The problem is that the people there

don't abide by the ruling of the law.

And Hua Qingfeng, the current county magistrate of Hu,

is a coward and powerless person.

That's why the situation in Hu is so complicated.

It's very hermitic and uncontrollable.

Ai Feng, the newly judicial clerk of the county magistrate,

eliminated Qi Mu, the most powerful family in Hu, with his own power.

And the Chancellor Meng is also eradicated.

The situation in Hu changed drastically.

Chase down the cicada with 8 steps, and remove the crown of a tyrant.

This is the fake judicial clerk as described by Baichuan?

Yes, he is.

He is indeed a talent.

What a pity!

What a pity!

What a pity!

He's going on top of the county magistrate.

Isn't he going to do something about it?

What do you mean?

He's showing too much,

which is bound to…

No mercy on him!

He's coming!

Master! Master!

Anything I can do for you?

Secretary Wang,

it's you who offered the idea to that lunatic

regarding Qi Mu and chancellor Meng, are you?

Master,

I don't get your point.

Secretary Wang,

don't you hold it back from me.

I invite you here

not to beat around the bush.

Master, what errand do you have for me this time?

I'm all ears

Secretary Wang,

that lunatic is a fake judicial clerk.

You can't let him act like that anymore.

It's very risky and eye-catching

like that.

If anyone finds out he is fake,

then…

Your concern

makes a lot sense.

But this is very important.

I think

we should gather all the people who know about the incident

and have a discussion.

Whatever consequences there might be,

we shoulder it together.

Master, we're in this together.

You should take care of yourself.

What have you done?!

Why is our master killed?

What's your point of living without master?!

Lawyer Li!

Lawyer Li!

Where are you going?

Of course I'm going back to Shuixi.

Shuixi?

Are you leaving our master's death unsettled?

He is dead.

So there is no point for me to stay.

Our master is persecuted

by Ai!

You can't leave it alone.

Listen! Here is the idea.

As far as the interest goes,

I fear no one, not even the heaven,

but it's of no good.

Even it's related to common people,

I don't want to offend.

Excuse me!

Eh…

Butler, what shall we do

without the master?

Madame, don't you worry.

Even if it take our lives,

we'll avenge the master.

Is this the famous lawyer?

Why are you escaping like rats

when you see me?

You shouldn't come out so often

as you're so disabled.

What if the other leg…

The doctor said

my leg will recover soon if I walk around more often.

The pity is that your eloquence

ends up in nothing.

Judicial Clerk Ai,

I really admire you

for what you've done.

Nice job!

Thank you!
