"Keep away!" "Keep away...!" "Letting loose a dog to bite so early!" "Keep away..." "Master Pin" "How's it, Master Pin!" "You look swell walking the dog" "Sure!" "I bought it from the USA" "Keep away!" "Keep away!" "Bloody dog!" "Go to hell!" "Tsai!" "Pin, what now?" "Go and chase it!" "What's it?" "Are you alright?" "Yes I'm not alright!" "What is it, Master Pin?" "You scared away my dog!" "At worst I'll make good to you the loss" "Make good?" "Master Pin, we couldn't catch it" "Right, Master Pin!" "You couldn't catch it?" "Make way!" "Out of the way!" "I'm a marine officer's son, I won't bully you" "Magistrate Hu, please come here!" "What's it, Master Pin?" "Let Magistrate Hu arbitrate... to reconcile you I'm reconciled now!" "Good!" "Why not come to my home to pick your favorite dog?" "I've got over a dozen" "What?" "My dad bought Tsai... for 1 00 taels from the USA and it's the only one... in Canton" "Cost 1 00 taels plus 2 years' feeding... 200 taels" "The minimum compensation is 200 taels 200 taels?" "My whole family... can't spend it all in 1 0 years!" "Magistrate Hu, our Tsai eats beef every meal" "He must pay a penalty of 300 taels!" "300 taels!" "No!" "Too little..." "Just imagine lt's not simple... to import a dog from the United States" "The expenses are innumerous!" "You must pay at least 500 taels!" "Secretary Sung's right, 500 taels!" "Fu!" "Don't!" "Fu!" "Fu!" "How are your buttocks?" "It bleeds and hurts with toothmarks" "You've beaten away my Fu!" "He bit my buttocks!" "You asked for 500 taels after your dog bit" "Now our Fu bit your buttocks" "Our Tsai is a dog!" "You asked for 500 for beating away a dog" "The penalty for beating away a man should be at least 1 000" "Tsai is a dog king bought from the USA" "My Fu is "dregs king" bought from France" "He's the only one in town I've supported him for 20 years lt's reasonable to ask for 1 000 taels" "Your Honor, what do you think?" "The way you figure it..." "You're right!" "Your Honor is sagacious!" "King Dregs of France!" "Now your Fu's back!" "That's why I'm asking for 1 000 taels only lf he never returns," "1 0,000 taels is not enough!" "You're OK" "You frame me" "What's wrong?" "Trying to kill!" "Damn it!" "Something exciting!" "Someone got into the ox manure pit!" "Let me make the introduction" "This is Master Pin!" "How do you do, Master Pin?" "My wife" "Madam" "Master Pin's courteous" "Master Pin, it's alright for my wife... to have saved your life lt's alright!" "We must visit the grave" "Yes!" "Your Honor, you know the case?" "Yes" "Please" "Go away!" "Pay him 1 000 taels" "Right, Master Pin lf your dog returns... like Fu did, repay him several hundred taels" "O.K..." "Be nice, Chieh, kowtow to your brother" "We've lost a dozen sons altogether" "Don't say it!" "You make me sad lt was all your fault!" "You've chosen to be a shyster" "You stick at nothing for money!" "You're too unethical" "You knew it yourself" "You cried your heart out after each case lt's fair to help others after getting paid for it" "When did I cry?" "You didn't?" "No" "Darling, seal your brush!" "If I do, no more gold bracelets, chains, jade rings, gems, earrings for you" "Look, they're too heavy to carry I don't care, I'd rather forsake them..." "Maybe... I won't ask for so much!" "I only want my child safe and sound" "Will you do me a favor?" "One must adapt to circumstances lt's easier said than done" "Switch to business, darling" "Tom made a fortune last year-end but Dick hung himself to death" "You two, stop quarreling!" "Mind I hit you!" "Be nice and sleep" "That master inside has been waiting" "Who are you, please?" "Ta Pao-ho!" "Yes!" "What a memory you have!" "Nonsense!" "You've hired so many men here" "How can I remember them all?" "Oh, how big!" "Our master is Chen Chiang-fu" "He's the owner of the largest exchange shop in Canton" "He wants you to write a memorial for him" "Here's the deposit" "Once you fix it, the sky can be the limit" "Fu" "Yes!" "Do you agree or not?" "What do you mean by that?" "That's right" "Good, a stick facing a stick" "That's not the way to talk to me" "Of course" "How could a man talk to a stick?" "Mr Sung is indeed out of the ordinary" "You're unreservedly a No. 1 counsel in town" "Am I okay?" "Fit as a fiddle" "What can I do for you please?" "The fact of the case is" "My son's been learning kung fu" "He had a fight yesterday" "His opponent is opium owner Chang Piao's son" "He's fragile after two light blows only he got knocked down" "And he died this morning I know Chang Piao has reported it to the magistracy" "Please try... to get him off the hook" "My husband has decided to seal his brush" "Here is..." "Sorry" "Just have a look!" "Retired?" "I'll reconsider the retirement" "Darling" "See him out" "This case of gold..." "Sorry, please" "It's all yours if you win" "No!" "Whose son was killed... by whose son?" "Your Honor!" "My son was killed by his son" "So you're the plaintiff" "Your Honor!" "In fact, we're plaintiffs" "Our memorial was here before dawn" "At that time" "His son didn't die yet" "What's your charge against him?" "Chang Piao's son Chang Hsiao Szu broke the nail of the small finger of the left hand of Chen Chiang-fu's son" "Chen Ta-wen" "He's seriously hurt!" "But my son's dead!" "Right, his son's dead!" "Your Honor, everybody dies!" "Right" "He seriously wounded and killed my son" "Why didn't you say your son was no good?" "I just rushed over to give him 2 punches" "Several, punches?" "Two punches!" "I got over to..." "So hard?" "You..." "Should be so hard!" "Secretary Sung..." "You're not smart enough" "May I ask when was your son hit by his son?" "Yesterday afternoon" "When did he die?" "This afternoon" "What does it concern him then?" "Just now I punched him more than twice" "Your Honor, can he sue me for murder if he should die in 8-1 0 years?" "No, no" "Your Honor's brilliant!" "Long long live!" "My son was well and and he caused his death" "Secretary Sung, do me a favor!" "Your son died because he was short-lived" "He didn't look short-lived!" "May I ask what's the span of my life!" "I can't tell" "Since you can't, how could you tell that your son was not short-lived?" "Let's come to the point Any result, Your Honor?" "Yes!" "Would you give me some hint?" "Yes!" "Plaintiff Chen Ta-wen was wounded but the defendant died, cause unknown" "He should've asked for a penalty of 50 taels" "We won't pursue any more!" "You're smart!" "Your Honor, any result?" "Yes!" "Give the verdict now!" "Okay!" "Chang Piao allowed his son to commit crime" "No prosecution, considering it a first offence" "Tell your son not to commit again!" "Well... ls this right?" "His son won't commit again" "Chieh!" "Darling" "Darling, take the son to the rocking horse I've newly bought" "Chieh!" "He got a crash and dropped into the well" "He couldn't pass one year" "It's tit for tat lt really is tit for tat" "The brush-sealing ceremony begins!" "is today really a good day, sir?" "Today's the best day in a year" "Look at the calendar" "It says offerings are unsuitable except for the wei hour lt faces your horoscope and is best" "You mustn't go too far" "Hurry up!" "After the hour it would be trouble!" "Convulsion, take me home quick!" "Are you alright?" "Hurry up!" "What's wrong, darling?" "Put..." "Better now?" "Let me see" "What a miracle!" "It gets well suddenly!" "Yes!" "Go over then!" "Good!" "Come" "Come...!" "You first" "You please." "Help yourself" "Well..." "Okay!" "Let me" "Fu" "Don't tarry, go now!" "Go up!" "Go up!" "Go up, not yet there!" "I've brought something horrible to help you" "What's so horrible with a frog?" "Keep away!" "Let me" "OK now" "How could you..." "How could you've sawed the highest part?" "To make it look real!" "It's broken!" "What now?" "Buy a new one" "A new one?" "An order for such a long ladder... takes 9 days lt can only be arranged in 2 days then" "There's no other way out" "Go home, buy food and cook" "Don't you want to get cursed?" "No, but I must wait some time I'll kill you!" "Just the right hour!" "Go now" "Darling!" "What's it again?" "To show your will, swear that if you go against it the child I'm now bearing will come out without a chick" "Are you pregnant again?" "Are you sure?" "Don't touch me!" "What?" "A mammy... cursing her own child" "Has she to be so wicked?" "No" "Yes!" "Yes!" "OK, you win!" "If I should write memorials again, may your child come out without a chick" "A child!" "A child without chick, okay?" "Why didn't you say so?" "So just one touch and you got pregnant?" "You're evil!" "Congratulations...!" "Thank you...!" "I must sue Chang Piao's son Hsiao Szu for breaking the nail of the small finger of Chen Chiang-fu's son Ta-wen" "Badly hurt!" "Your Honor, my son's dead!" "Yes, his son is dead!" "Everybody dies, Your Honor!" "Still thinking of the lawsuit?" "You're incorrigible!" "I really don't understand you women" "What do you mean... by having stripes planted on your head?" "That's a bun" "Like sea-slugs, how silly?" "Are they beautiful?" "You call that beautiful?" "Does it look okay now?" "Damn ugly" "You're right" "Better..." "This way!" "What does this look like?" "Don't like it?" "Change it..." "Don't move!" "What're you doing from behind?" "Don't you like this?" "Where?" "Over here!" "You creep!" "Even now I'm still taller than you!" "Did you ever study?" "For two days" "Can't you be a bit euphemistic?" "That's hypocrisy!" "You?" "What a busybody!" "Am I busy?" "It's so boring!" "This is it I'm middle-aged now" "People will laugh if I stay idle all day long" "Even my brush is sealed!" "What a pity!" "You're now a boss!" "Isn't it nice for you to move around?" "I've moved around a lot" "Stand here!" "Stand!" "Don't try to act busy!" "I know you're free" "Get the writing equipment for me" "Fu, are you writing?" "Keep away!" "That's no way to write!" "Let me show you" "Cursed with a son with no chick" "Shui, let me use it" "Pass the bucket of water!" "Put it over here!" "The one writing is Sung Shih-chieh" "You each... take off one rib from him" "Don't worry" "That's the way to do it!" "No way, it can't be hung I've to rewrite it I give you a chance to learn" "Let me demonstrate to you once again" "Why have you moistened my head?" "Why have you torn off my dress?" "When did I tear off your dress?" "Don't deny!" "It's now even!" "What now?" "Hit him" "What's so funny?" "What's wrong, Fu?" "Master got beaten!" "Help!" "Are you alright?" "Let go...!" "How ugly!" "I kill you" "Let me hit you once" "Again?" "Help!" "What a shame being in a girl's arms!" "He would've fallen to death!" "Sonny, your sister's fantastic!" "Get dressed now" "Luckily, not many are around" "It's hard but ventilated, not bad" "Believe me" "Good..." "Make a pair like before then" "Excellent!" "The sole's a bit hard" "Put a cushion" "What do you think of this?" "Not bad" "Excellent..." "Make it like that" "This cushion may get flat after long use" "Use a wooden one, okay?" "That's too hard" "Never mind" "Too heavy" "Don't worry, put 2 cushions above it" "2 cushions above the wood?" "Wait" "Okay, I can manage!" "2 layers of leather under the sole make it more durable!" "How about this?" "At least 5-6 inches taller in them!" "Right..." "Well..." "Why not this?" "Take this" "You're in the mood today" "Have a good time" "Okay?" "Why not this way then?" "Excuse me!" "What's wrong with you now?" "Are you scared?" "You know the pain of not being tall enough?" "Darling" "Being tall doesn't count lt's a tall ambition that counts" "Do you know you rate high to me?" "Darling" "I..." "Say it!" "In my eyes... you're the biggest" "Please excuse me!" "Please have tea!" "Thank you lt's true, madam" "Fu often pawed over me I'm serious" "What a gossiper!" "It's true!" "Creep, what a waste!" "I feel great!" "Madam, he's smart, tea can remove odor" "Shut up!" "What a lousy man... for such a beauty" "Your husband died a mysterious death" "Your brother-in-law may suspect you if you go away now" "What a wicked woman murdering her own husband!" "My husband was murdered by my brother-in-law" "An internecine war!" "Your sister-in-law's brother is Chief Secretary, Shansi" "Right!" "Will she sue you?" "No, she's guilty herself" "What she said makes sense" "You're pregnant, you may get cheated exposing yourself I won't be pregnant any more I didn't mean you I'm her brother" "Brother, what about the money I gave you I want to have a bet..." "Have you lost everything?" "Shut up!" "What am I to do now?" "Don't worry...!" "The one in front is my fellow clansman" "Let me borrow some money from him to meet the emergency" "Wait for me here, I'll be back right away" "Yang Ching, what a coincidence I'm out for buying lt's been a long time" "Yes, how's your wife?" "She died two years ago" "What about your two sons then?" "An elderly maid's taking care of them" "Your brother must've fooled that upright man" "Yes, I'm sure he has" "Your pregnant niece wants to get married" "Yes, she's desperate because her husband's dead lf you marry her, she'll serve you well and your two sons" "A fair lady is the most ideal" "She's a fair lady" "Your niece?" "Of the same family name?" "No, I won't give you one with the same family name as yours ls that right?" "They're staring at us" "Why's he staring at me?" "Why's he staring at me?" "I'm sure he's staring at me" "Don't you feel ashamed?" "Chen, come here" "Clear up everything!" "Would your niece regret... 50 taels only?" "No..." "Chen, this is Mr Yang" "Excuse me I need the manure pit" "Yang..." "Miss Chou, is your Uncle alright?" "He's my 2nd brother, not Uncle" "He took 50 taels from me to arrange for your marriage" "Then he sold you after your husband got killed" "Damn him I'll try to get him back" "Master, it's town after this mountain top" "See if you can get away!" "Go down and have a look!" "Yes!" "Keep away!" "Kid, how could you have done that?" "You're a beast!" "Keep away!" "At worst I'll refund you the money" "Get hold of my hand!" "Yang, I'm sorry" "Take care of my sister!" "Yang" "Yang" "Go up first!" "Master, one of them fell to death" "You witnessed it, sir" "Please testify at the nearby magistracy" "He's too busy to testify" "You..." "Keep this fan from me lf someone accuses you at the Magistracy show it to him, and he'll understand" "Sir..." "Why are they still not back?" "It seems he couldn't keep up with your brother and wouldn't return... to embarrass you" "So he left without saying goodbye" "I really am miserable How am I going to live?" "Don't cry!" "Why not put up at my home?" "Your brother will return after getting away" "Go...!" "Go!" "Have you broken away from that pregnant woman?" "Nonsense!" "Next time don't talk so much nonsense!" "Go now!" "Madam's cruel" "She hurts my vital part" "Take care lt hurts!" "This woman's husband was killed by... this woman's husband's brother and his wife" "This woman's husband's brother and his wife then framed this woman... for the murder of this woman's husband" "Luckily... this woman's maid told her of it" "This woman then rushed... to see her brother at night" "This woman's brother, an addicted gambler, gambled away all her money and sold her to his fellow clansman as his wife" "Then this woman's brother ran away from her" "So this woman came back... with me" "Fantastic..." "Talk faster and I say you're fantastic" "She has a heartrending background" "There're too many others... like her" "And she's pregnant!" "There're many other pregnant women too" "Let her stay till her brother comes to pick her up" "Master..." "Madam..." "That woman's brother... won't return to take her away!" "Why?" "He fell to death down a cliff" "Her brother is now dead too" "She's pregnant with no kin" "You can't take care of her... all your life" "Let her give delivery first" "Master, madam..." "That woman's given birth" "So soon?" "The arrival of a child... will be a burden" "She can't work and is hard to find a husband" "She's finished!" "Master, madam" "What's up again?" "That woman is hanging herself" "Hanging herself!" "It's the more horrible." "She should..." "She is hanging herself!" "Finished!" "Don't!" "Look, she's hanging herself!" "Do something!" "After what she's suffered... she has no other recourse!" "Have you no feelings?" "Have you any feelings?" "I'm asking you!" "Are you tired after holding her so long?" "Logically... should be" "Let her go then!" "Okay." "Why are you shouting?" "Mrs Sung, let me die!" "You still want to die?" "You're resourceful." "Do something for her" "Didn't you make it clearly?" "She's finished" "Mrs Sung, I put my son in your custody" "Take him as your own I was the mother of a dozen sons I know how you feel I'll be a mother to your child" "How did you get into this trouble?" "Death is the only way out for me now" "Death?" "I'll bring you back to life" "Don't talk big!" "Who on earth... can bring a life back?" "Halt!" "Close the door!" "What are you doing?" "Violence!" "Come on!" "Hit me in my parents' presence if you dare" "Come down and see if I'll beat you" "Be smart and don't come down!" "You're a no-good scholar" "You told me to seal my brush!" "Now you want me to write a memorial again I vowed to Heaven under curse" "This time it's for justice" "God will forgive you!" "What if he doesn't?" "Would you make good the "chicks" to me?" "Don't turn me down any more!" "If you stand by, you're not a man!" "Say that again and I'll slap you" "You're not a man I forgive you only because you're pregnant" "Say that again if you dare!" "You're not a man..." "Okay!" "I'm a female!" "Outrageous!" "Don't come to my room to sleep tonight!" "I'll sleep with you tonight, mom, dad!" "Master" "Why laugh?" "Are you mad?" "Rinse, master" "Crazy!" "Who's this perfect fright?" "It's you!" "Me?" "Oh, God, who brought me this?" "Madam!" "She said you're mean and cowardly lt's better to be female than man" "But when you're posed as a female..." "You look more beautiful than madam" "Keep your mouth shit!" "Where's madam?" "She went to the magistracy early in the morning because you refused to defend for Miss Yang" "Who does she think she is?" "Master" "Change!" "I know" "The wet nurse wants rock candy to decoct papayas" "Go and do it then." "Why bother me?" "You must return them to me" "Madam put the papayas with you" "Give it to me!" "Give it to me!" "Give it to me!" "No, I don't owe you anything!" "Don't go away!" "You watch me go in I watch you go in" "Secretary" "What a relief!" "What does the memorial say?" "Your Honor, many XX and OO" "Read to me as much as possible I, Mrs Sung and Yang Hsiu-chen..." "XX Your Honor" "Yang Hsiu-chen OO was XX" "What?" "Mrs Sung, what does OO mean?" "Her husband!" "Go on!" "Yang Hsiu-chen OO was XX" "Yang Hsiu-chen is seeking XX" "Hold it!" "Seeking what?" "Seeking redress, Your Honor!" "I forgot how to write that" "What do you want?" "I'm looking for my wife!" "Return home to find her" "Brazen!" "I Counsellor Sung Shih-chieh used to move around here freely" "Who dares to stand in my way?" "You had a memorial then" "What've you got now?" "Please be considerate, brothers I'll buy you snacks" "Outsiders are not admitted under the new rules of the new magistrate" "Wait here, if you prefer" "Finally, XX Your Honor and your family's OO" "Outrageous..." "Unintelligible..." "Mrs Sung, can any of your family write?" "Why not?" "Within a perimeter of 500 li who doesn't know my husband the famous counsellor Sung Shih-chieh?" "No wonder you're so cocky" "So you're Sung Shih-chieh's wife!" "Precisely!" "Good!" "Come on, serve her with Torture A!" "Yes!" "What is Torture A?" "It means 30 slaps on your face!" "Hold it!" "I'm here to prosecute." "Why slap me?" "Your husband Sung Shih-chieh talks black into white" "You're his wife, a termagant 30 slaps only... are a favor to your husband!" "Execute!" "Terrible!" "Go out..." "Wait outside if you prefer" "What do you want?" "Move, and it will be all over your face!" "Halt!" "Do I look like..." "Yes!" "Like Monk Chi" "Cry your heart out" "Let me be cursed with sterility or anything worse, I must take the revenge" "Revenge!" "That won't work!" "Absolutely not" "Absolutely impossible!" "It won't work!" "Make an exception!" "You made a vow!" "I often make vows" "Right, I made the vow What has it to do with you?" "But now you're moving the scrolls written by Emp." "Chien Lung" "That's absolutely intolerable" "The scrolls affect the feng shui of our clan" "Yes!" "It's been peaceful since it was hung nearly a century ago" "Right!" "It was moved when it was hung and any effect would've been felt" "Anyway, you must absolutely not move this feng shui scroll" "Right, right!" "Don't..." "Darling!" "Shut up!" "Darling, you go up!" "You sealed it, you must get it yourself!" "Come down..." "Fu!" "Come down quick!" "Take care of me!" "Go get it quick!" "It's got!" "Go down" "Yes, the people can seek redress with the comeback of a good counsel" "I said it myself!" "Why rush to say it?" "Hold it!" "Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to my husband for my sake" "Look over there!" "Don't move it!" "It's enough for you to build dozens of arches" "Otherwise, split it" "Yes, let's split it!" "Mr Sung" "Lord Ho" "Thank you" "Have you eaten?" "Yes, thank you" "Mr Sung..." "Thank you..." "Lord Ho" "Thank you..." "Please!" "Sung Shih-chieh" "Come on!" "I've long heard... of your eloquent defence ls that true?" "You're that paunchy Lord Ho Yu-ta that gases... from top to bottom?" "You're insulting me!" "I didn't mean to I've heard of it only" "Heard of it only?" "You're illiterate" "Yes, as illiterate as you are I'm entirely different" "What difference?" "We both speak according to hearsay only" "We're in the same trade" "How dare you?" "Sometimes we may get it wrong" "They say you're a nut... but I don't..." "Think so" "She's a native of Shansi" "Why prosecute in Canton?" "Your Honor, you're a native of Hunan" "Why have you become a magistrate in Canton?" "You claim that her brother-in-law and his wife killer her husband and framed her for the murder." "Any proof" "No" "That's a false accusation then" "Hold it!" "What?" "May I ask Your Honor" "Am I male or female?" "Male of course" "Any concrete proof?" "The fact is..." "You took a wife and have children" "This is logic" "You're smart" "Thank you" "Her brother-in-law and his wife lost a brother followed by her departure" "Yet they don't care a damn" "Aren't they logically under suspicion, Your Honor?" "Did you see them put the poison?" "Yes!" "No!" "My maid Mei saw it" "She saw them put the poison into the soup" "After taking it, my husband died of bleeding from his nostrils" "This idiot ran away... only after Mei reminded her of it" "You're garrulous!" "It shows the heart, and the heart shows concern" "That's why Kuan (Mandarin ) has 2 mouths" "My husband told me that" "How coquettish!" "Any result, Your Honor?" "Good, I'll handle it for the time being" "Thin Hu, Fat Lung" "Your Honor, any mandate?" "You set out for Shansi and escort her brother and sister-in-law back for trial together with their maid Mei" "Your order is understood!" "Adjourned!" "Hold it!" "Your Honor, please stay!" "May I ask you another question," "Your Honor?" "What is it?" "What's the charge... for one framing a goodie?" "It depends on the one framed?" "A gentleman" "Almost as good-looking as you are ls that so?" "Libel for a serious case, insult for a light one" "What would be your verdict?" "Not premeditated lt depends on whether it is premeditated or not" "Even for that he must pay scores of taels" "Your Honor is enlightened" "Bravo..." "Thank you" "What is it?" "Pay me" "Do I owe you any money?" "You called me an eloquent defence counsel" "As you're in charge of this case, it shows I'm speaking the truth and you're guilty of "insult"" "No..." "Either you can't tell right from wrong or are muddle-headed" "Admit to either of these charges" "Sorry" "Pay Mr Sung 50 taels" "Hush!" "If this circulates, it may affect your prestige" "How exciting!" "You again?" "Please" "What a magistrate!" "What a magistrate!" "What a magistrate!" "Your Excellency!" "Yang, why do you insist... on seeing me tonight?" "It's urgent!" "Those 2 constables 1 tall, 1 thin said they rushed 3 months all the way from Canton with a writ to summon your sister Mrs Yao... and her husband to Canton for trial" "Miss, master" "What's it?" "Two constables from Canton are here to arrest you" "You're sued for murder and seizure" "Mother..." "Murdering who?" "My brother-in-law" "My sister has really gone too far" "Your Honor, please have some mercy" "What mercy?" "Please calm down, Your Honor" "She's your sister" "Do something" "No way, life for life I'm your only daughter, do help me" "But how am I to help you?" "Mother, he's most filial to you" "He never disobeys you" "Help me, flute" "Yes" "Let me try" "Oh, finished!" "Hold it!" "My mammy calls me" "Why's he so obedient?" "Mother..." "Mother, are you alright?" "Brother" "You two are heartless" "So you really did it!" "Brother, help us" "You asked for it, why come to me?" "Mother, brother's right I deserve penalty" "Forget your daughter" "Darling, you're breaking my heart" "Mother!" "Blood!" "Mother's emitting blood!" "Alas!" "No!" "Mother's emitting much blood!" "Don't get mad!" "You broke her heart because you stood by seeing your sister taken away for trial" "Why give me this?" "Let me die of cold!" "Lychee honey!" "No!" "Mother!" "Break it!" "Mother!" "The one ruling is Canton magistrate" "Can't you a Chief Secretary... fix it?" "Let me die!" "I die!" "I die!" "I..." "Okay..." "Let me try!" "Yuan, Chuan" "Coming..." "Yes, madam?" "Keep the constables from Canton... by every means" "Hurry up..." "Yes!" "Have Yuan and Chuan rush to Canton" "Spend as much as... you can on bribery before your sister and brother-in-law arrive" "Want to borrow my wet nurse?" "Yes!" "My grandson's got whooping cough" "No medication has proved effective" "They say human milk is the most effective" "Wet nurse, come here!" "Yes, madam" "Come with her... to breast-feed her grandson" "Oh, no, my grandson's over 20" "Damn!" "Breast-feeding an adult?" "Well, milk some for him when you can" "Madam, you're taking me for a milk cow" "Mrs Sung, what now?" "Darling, not so hard!" "Okay!" "Alas!" "Darling, come on!" "What?" "No!" "Come on, hurry up!" "No, it's too big!" "This time it's getting big too soon!" "You shouldn't have cried so sexily to have turned me on!" "Go out... I really can't hold on" "I've boiled almond puree" "Mrs Sung I've fixed the human milk maid Chang wants" "We're both female."

"What a sexfiend You tomcat while I'm pregnant" "Yueh Lai Inn?" "Seems to be Sung Shih-chieh's" "Don't you know it's Sung Shih-chieh's?" "Sung Shih-chieh?" "He is dead" "Bitch!" "Sung Shih-chieh doesn't die at right time" "What do you mean, gentlemen?" "Who are you?" "I'm the manager here lf he died earlier, we wouldn't have to travel from Shansi to Canton in vain" "You came from Shansi?" "Only Shansi could have such elite" "Are you on an official mission?" "Yes, the Chief Secretary of Shansi is our boss" "We're to bring an important letter... to the magistrate here" "Why talk so much to this nobody?" "Okay" "You two really are... smart" "Did your Lord send you here to..." "Shut up!" "is the lnn full?" "No, it was a mistake" "Please be seated, gentlemen" "Don't touch him I'll come right away after fixing the room" "Madam..." "What is it, Mr Sung?" "Madam, don't cry" "2 men on a mission... from your brother-in-law I suspect they're up to something" "Madam..."

"No...it's for your son" "Take it if you like" "No, thanks, you milked it so hard" "Ground!" "Ground?" "It's almond puree!" "You can grind almond puree?" "Madam" "Don't crease my dress" "It's late." "Don't yell!" "What a creep!" "He really entered her room" "You creep!" "Who's calling my name?" "Did you?" "You, a family woman, sneak into a men's room at this late hour" "You're acting like a whore" "What do you want?" "Give me a logical explanation" "Speak up!" "Come on!" "I've come to borrow a urinal," "OK?" "is it a logical explanation?" "No!" "Darling!" "In fact, I didn't come for this I know." "You went to see Yang Hsiu-chen because you thought she was there" "Yes, how smart you are, darling!" "Of course, would I suspect you of anything?" "Would I be so unethical as to suspect you?" "Would you suspect me of anything?" "No, of course not" "Outrageous!" "He's stolen a march!" "So what?" "I enjoy doing it I was only joking!" "Are you resenting?" "No" "What does this letter say?" "Judging from its contents, Yang indeed... is innocent lt's a letter... from the couple to" "Ho Yu-ta, using the pull of the Chief Sec" "They offer a bribe to him... to frame Yang" "So cocky?" "Let's hit him!" "Don't act on impulse!" "This letter can be a strong evidence" "Let's put it back after copying it" "Right, you indeed are resourceful" "You didn't know before now I did, but I didn't say it" "Now I want you to say it thrice daily" "And don't dress a bun" "And don't raise hell and hit me" "Always take my advice" "Only on important issues" "Oh, no, you're too stupid to distinguish between important or not" "Alternatively, you must follow my advice whenever I say "maltose"" "I'm the handsomest in the world!" "Say "yes"" "Don't!" "Maltose" "You're the handsomest whether you want me to say it or not" "Do I have to do it?" "Maltose" "Couldn't care less!" "So it's like this" "Even the Shansi magistrate... didn't try it" "No, but our Lord wants" "Your Excellency... to cover it up" "You've said it all" "Your Excellency!" "Our mistress and husband... are rushing in with the constables." "Please be lenient" "Please take these 5,000 taels I've been an honest mandarin," "open and aboveboard" "Please convey the message to the Chief Sec l'll do my best... in this case" "But I can't accept the money" "That's it" "Please return...!" "Please stay, gentlemen Put the money here!" "Yes, Mrs Ho?" "Please convey my husband's... thanks to H.E." "Didn't Magistrate Ho say he's honest and righteous" "We have heavy expenses" "And righteous?" "It's not right to turn down a gift" "She's terrific..." "Let's go" "Mr and Mrs Yao greeting Your Honor" "Do you know... that woman holding a baby?" "Your Honor, she's my sister-in-law Mrs Yao nee Yang" "Yes..." "Yang Hsiu-chen, you murdered your husband and framed Mr and Mrs Yao for it" "Your Honor, I..." "Shut up!" "Keep quiet now!" "Your Honor, is it the first time you see Mrs Yao?" "What if it is?" "You really are stupid then" "Why?" "Since it is the first time, you should have acted more tactfully" "Did I do it not brilliantly enough?" "No!" "You should've feigned to take everyone's statements" "You arbitrated... even before Mr and Mrs Tien said anything lt shows there was a tacit agreement" "That's unworthy of you... as a magistrate" "You..." "I..." "Without teaching you a lesson, I will never be a mandarin again!" "Come on, use torture!" "Your Honor, which torture?" "A, B or C?" "C" "Hold it!" "What is Torture C?" "C is C" "No torture!"

"Uncle..." "Just say what you've in mind!" "Come on!" "Isn't it right to punish him?" "Just go on" "Okay..." "Uncle and neighbors" "They're so rude" "They left without saying goodbye" "To strip him of his bachelorhood?" "Why've you got downstairs so soon?" "Hit him!" "Didn't I say you can't beat a bachelor?" "You're a mere magistrate lf l became a master, I might be your superior" "Change the subject!" "You're no longer a bachelor!" "Royal tutor" "Why're you here?" "Teacher" "Sung Shih-chieh, I disqualified you as a bachelor because you spoiled the feng shui" "Sorry for the trouble, sir" "Don't mention it" "Please..."

"What do you mean "XX is powerful"?" "My brush" "You didn't write it... properly" "Let me teach you again at home" "Halt!" "What's going on?" "Have you had enough fun?" "Come on, slap!" "Don't!" "Who dares to slap my husband?" "Slap!" "Oh, no!" "Brazen!" "Brazen!" "There's order in Court" "Go away!" "Let him go" "Maltose" "You promised to obey me!" "Take care of the baby you carry, if not yourself" "Maltose!" "Go now!" "Good" "Wait for me!" "Fu, go home and get the letter l'd be a beast if I didn't take revenge!"

"I don't have it, so I'm here I took it" "You did?" "Darling, you took the money?" "The money from the Chief Secretary?" "How could you have taken it?" "Hold it...!" "How did he know about this?" "Never mind, just let him go" "No... lf l do, I'd be under more suspicion!" "We must persist to the end!" "Have you found that letter?" "No, madam l've searched the whole room without finding it" "Oh, bad, Madam!" "Master's being put on parade!" "Mrs Sung...forget it... I'd better give up" "Just say yes or no!" "I..." "Get going!" "Master!" "Why're you here?" "Run quick!" "Wait for me!" "And you've brought a group!" "Withstand for me" "Open attacks are resistible, but not sniping" "O-Mei swordplay?" "Hell with you!"

"How did Yang Hsiu-chen's brother die?" "An accident" "The fan owner can prove it" "Don't deceive yourself as it's against Heaven" "Don't fail the people as it's failing yourself" "There's hope for us now!" "Who's he?" "Also a creep" "A mandarin's a creep, but he's honest" "His wife left him because he accepts no bribes" "His dedication won him... quick promotions and he's now..." "An Inspector General" "A saviour!" "What are we to do now?" "You, not we!" "Intercept him and petition to him on the way lt's alright for you... to sacrifice for justice" "Absolutely alright" "Good" "Thank you!" "Hand it over to him in person" "Take care!" "You're now in a dangerous situation" "No, it's closely guarded here" "Outsiders can't enter freely" "You must've braved many difficulties... getting here" "But... I got in only after saying something casual" "Good!" "I know you're okay!" "Don't be mushy!" "Let's get down to important business" "Go now!" "Good, I'll take my leave" "What's there to see?" "To see somebody" "See if you can stay alive!" "Just his luck" "He got pursued even in a parade lt will be disastrous if he dies lf he dies, you can't bear it, Your Honor I know" "What are you doing?" "What is it, Lord?" "Go and give chase" "No point in chasing now lt won't get us anywhere" "Give chase!" "He's passed out!" "Wake him up quick!" "Sung Shih-chieh, are you alright?" "Walk 2 steps to show me" "What on earth are you up to?" "You told me to do that!" "Clap your hands now!" "Clap your hands now" "Why're you clapping?" "What's so exciting?" "Your mom's pregnant?" "is he really mad?" "Sung Shih-chieh is mad..." "Sung Shih-chieh is mad in jail!" "Really?" "Why has he suddenly got mad?" "Halt!" "Sit down!" "What are you up to?" "Do you recognize... that woman holding a baby" "No" "Are you sure?" "Hold it!" "Good!" "Idiot...!" "Darling, they say you're mad ls it true?" "Are you up to something again?" "Who are you speaking... upside down?" "Come on, take him out for torture" "See how long you can hold on" "So you can still hold on" "Good!" "Let me give you another kick!" "Give it back to me!" "Why have you taken away my daughter?" "Quiet!" "I know what to do" "Sung, both women claim... to be mother to the daughter?" "How would you handle it?" "Why ask me?" "Making fun of me?" "I'm soliciting... your personal view only for my reference" "Don't make fun... of your own daughter" "Chop it into two and each gets a share" "Are you mad?" "She's your daughter too!" "You've a share too" "Have I?" "Cut it into three pieces I'll take the middle portion" "Moustachio, have you got a share?" "Yes!" "Secretary" "Sung, split it into four portions" "Be fair to make them equal" "Good!" "I'll chop..." "Chop..." "Darling, are you crazy?" "It's your daughter!" "What're you two up to?" "You're mad!" "Sung Shih-chieh, a wise man like you has ended up this way" "No point in jailing you any more I order that you and your family be expelled and all your assets confiscated" "Keep away...!" "You'll get mad if you stay alive!" "See if you can sue me any more!" "Out of the way!" "Don't look!" "Madam" "Leave everything behind except what you're wearing" "You're cocky" "Dropped!" "We'll seize everything... you drop" "How come he's come to such a state?" "Anyway, he's still my husband" "Darling!" "Quiet!" "Let's go" "Yes!" "Madam, are you alright?" "Yes I was thinking he never said "l love you"" "since I married him over 1 0 years ago" "Sorry!" "I love you!" "A relapse!" "Let me knock him unconscious" "Maniac!" "He's only acting mad." "Give a hand" "Come on quick!" "Where's my daughter?" "Master" "Show me my daughter" "Come..." "Look, she's plumper than her wet nurse" "One nest for one bird" "Look how cute she is" "Master, you acted brilliantly" "Even I got taken in!" "If I couldn't even fool you, I'd jump to the sea!" "If I didn't act mad, I couldn't stay alive" "But now they've to die instead of me" "Darling, look!" "The letter!" "How come it's with you?" "It has been with me" "Why didn't you hand it to the magistrate" "He accepts bribes to pervert justice" "He would've destroyed any evidence I presented to him" "In fact, I'm waiting for a chance for the appearance of the lnspector General to punish all the corrupt officials" "Innocence, Your Honor!" "How dare you block the Lord?" "Whatever your grievance, 30 slaps first 30 slaps for that?" "So it's you!" "Bureaucratic conspiracy!" "He's notorious... for his sharp practice" "He even acted mad to deceive me" "How could you a magistrate... spoil a bachelor?" "He won't take me... a magistrate seriously" "He even claimed that even Your Excellency I'll be straight, Your Excellency!" "Combined with us, are not his match" "Bastard!" "How can a bachelor outsmart us?" "My Lord, many bet heavily that" "Sung Shih-chieh will win this case" "Good!" "Let me see how capable Sung is" "Court!" "Summon Sung Shih-chieh and party concerned!" "Make an autograph..." "We must win by every means" "Thank you" "Make an autograph!" "Thanks for your support" "Thank you" "Inspector General!" "Listen, you're no longer a bachelor" "Kneel down before the lnspector General lt shows your contempt to Court" "Since you Lords insist on superficiality I don't mind kneeling down" "Nonsense!" "It befits propriety to respect Court officers" "The respect comes... from the heart only" "Don't you agree, Lord?" "Sung Shih-chieh!" "Sung Shih-chieh!" "You've my permission not to kneel" "Thank you, My Lord!" "How did the couple... murder Yang's husband?" "Lord Ho, how did her husband die?" "Yang..." "She made her husband die... bleeding from nostrils Inspector General, you hear that" "Summon Chen Erh" "Summon Chen Erh" "Announce your occupation to the Lords" "An undertaker of Shansi, My Lord!" "The cause of Hsiu-chen's husband's death, please?" "Deadly poison, as the autopsy shows it" "What?" "Say that again loudly!" "Deadly poison" "You're wicked, you murdered my husband!" "Don't cry, don't just cry!" "You could be the one doing it!" "Yes!" "You could've put the poison!" "Yes... lf it's true, you'll suffer" "Me?" "Make way!" "You!" "Someone died tragically... in your area of jurisdiction, but you didn't care lsn't that your responsibility?" "Blast...!" "Why're you scared like that?" "You aren't the murderer, are you?" "No, Mr and Mrs Yao innocence, Your Honor!" "Innocence!" "No, it's been proved Yao Erh died of deadly poison and you claimed his wife caused his death" "Why did you lie if you were free from suspicion?" "He died of blood-emitting lt could be poison or mental stimulation" "No more subterfuge" "Please arbitrate, Your Honor" "Even if Yao Erh did die of poisoning, there's no proof... the Yao couple did it" "Right!" "Right he is!" "Summon Hsiao Mei!" "Summon Hsiao Mei!" "Come on!" "Hsiao Mei greeting the Lords!" "Hsiao Mei" "Are you Hsiao Mei?" "Where were you when the murder occurred?" "Since madam disappeared, I returned to the country" "You were on the spot." "Tell the truth" "No, I was not on the spot!" "How could you go back on your words now?" "You told me they poisoned my husband to death and to run away" "Why're you backing out on your remark?" "I didn't" "Besides..." "Enough!" "You may go home and retire." "Thank you" "Your Honor!" "Sung Shih-chieh" "Not yet your turn" "Hsiao Mei, you go on I'm madam's personal maid" "Normally she was tough... to her husband" "You..." "Sometimes she brought in some hooligans I wasn't on the spot on the day of the accident" "But the previous night I heard her quarreling fiercely with master" "The following day master died" "What've you to say, Sung Shih-chieh?" "Bad!" "Your Honor, now the truth is out" "Yang Hsiu-chen murdered her husband" "Sung framed others for it" "Counsel Sung, you've got more than that" "Your Honor is superb!" "Here's a letter lt was written... by Shansi Chief Sec to Ho Yu-ta I got it perchance and copied it" "The contents?" "Really exciting" "To cover up... his sister's murder, he bribed Ho Yu-ta with 5000 taels to turn a blind eye to it" "Your Honor, the letter only illustrated to me the case with the request that I judged it fairly" "Where's it now?" "Already burnt up" "Read this letter then" "Hold it!" "You claimed to have copied it lt could be false" "The one I copied has been sent to Lord Ho" "The one I'm now holding is the original" "There's no proof whether it's true or false" "Check the handwriting." "Your Honor!" "Right!" "Hold it!" "What do you want?" "Peepers of an official document... will have their eyes gouged out ls that right, Your Honor?" "Yes, there's such a clause lf you did peep at it, have your eyes gouged out" "If you do it yourself, we'll believe you" "Don't you agree, Inspector General?" "Yes" "Gouge your eyes out!" "Can this be done to any other part of the body?" "Brazen!" "Observe order in Court" "Use the torture!" "Are you going to do it or not?" "No!" "You're guilty of false accusation and insult to Court officers then" "What punishment according to law, Your Honor?" "Hook his tongue" "Have the torture ready!" "Sung, either you gouge your eyes or hook your tongue" "There's no other choice" "Darling" "Use torture!" "Hold it!" "Who said that?" "Me!" "What is it?" "Someone defecates" "Who?" "Me!" "My daughter defecates" "Your Honor, please allow us to change her diaper" "Nonsense, how can this be done in Court?" "You..." "Lord Ho has been gassing" "Why're officers allowed to gas but the people banned from defecating?" "What justice is that?" "Please comment" "What justice is that?" "And he gassed loudly" "What justice is that?" "You may change" "Thank you, Your Honor!" "What now?" "Be nice..." "A daughter's a nuisance" "She defecates more" "Do more good then" "All your sons are dead" "Haven't I done any good?" "Bitch, it was all your fault" "No!" "What?" "I haven't finished" "You know nothing but crying I've endured you long" "You made my wife... take up your case and we're in a hell lot of trouble Listen... I really didn't..." "Quiet!" "Now I'm the most innocent" "Please... which of you would care to fling this for me?" "I get no good return." "Look, how pitiable" "Please do me a favor by flinging it?" "Anybody care to give a hand?" "Observe order in Court!" "Who is it now?" "Who else could it be?" "Me?" "Lord Ho, you're a scholar" "Behave in court" "Forget it!" "Be careful!" "Be nice, don't cry!" "Darling, come here!" "How come there's one ingot of silver?" "It's Lord Ho's" "Why is my silver with you?" "Why's Lord Ho's silver with you?" "There's a reason." "Don't ask me!" "Tell us l can't" "Why not?" "No, it's only between you and me" "You..." "You seduced my wife" "Me?" "You old dog, you seduced his wife I didn't" "Don't deny!" "Tramp, confess or I'll drown you" "OK." "Ho bought a house and I earned a commission as the middleman" "When did I buy a house?" "Why not?" "Remember the female impersonator Huang" "Female impersonator Huang, a womaniser?" "How did Lord Ho know him?" "No, it was Mrs Ho who bought it" "When did you buy it from him?" "I didn't, master" "You women are heartless" "Lord Ho works so hard and doesn't earn much" "But you spent his money on a man..." "How much did you pay for it?" "5,000 taels" "You spent 5,000 taels on a man?" "Don't listen to them Where've I got 5,000 taels?" "You don't have the money?" "I dared not take it, but you spent it on a man I didn't spend any cent of it" "You didn't?" "You lie!" "You didn't spend Chief Sec's money" "How could it be with my wife?" "Crazy!" "The Chief Sec's money is still inside" "His money is inside!" "Mrs Ho, sorry for the trouble" "You may go home and retire" "Your Excellency must've heard it clearly" "Sung, even if I did give Magistrate Ho 5000 taels you can't sue me for bribery lsn't it OK for me to send him a gift?" "The letter can show whether it was a bribery" "Dare you still mention that letter?" "Just now you deliberately changed the subject I forgot to accuse you of unauthorized reading and the penalty of eye-gouging and tongue-hooking" "Come on, execute!" "Bullshit!" "It was not a document," "When did I read the document?" "only a piece of white paper" "He lies, Your Honor!" "Brazen!" "You lie in Court" "For lying in Court, the penalty is 50 slaps according to the law of Ching I'd be delighted to get the penalty" "Even 2 more blows are OK with me" "But... here's the genuine document I brought here I didn't read it and deserve no penalty" "And you're guilty of..." "Keep cool..." "Stealing the document?" "1 00 spanks plus 5 years in exile, according to law" "Sung Shih-chieh!" "I expected that and couldn't care less!" "If you hadn't read that letter, how could you have accused me of bribery" "Come on, what have you to say?" "We're winning..." "Frankly, it was my hypothesis only" "Your Honor, what is the penalty for hypothesis in Court according to law?" "Nil" "Luck's with me" "But I'm ready to bear the other crime lsn't it appropriate for Lord Tien... to clarify himself now?" "Why not read out loudly the contents of this letter?" "If my hypothesis is wrong and damaging to the Lords, I'll be condemned and my whole family and I are ready... to be beheaded" "Yes!" "Lord Tien, please read it" "Are you shy?" "Let me" "Lord Ho, better you read it I dropped something Let me pick it up first I'll wait lt takes some time. lt dropped again..." "Sit down I shouldn't have made you read it" "You must be illiterate" "Since no one would read it, please read it, Your Honor You're justice" "Don't pick any more!" "Time off!" "Pick it once again" "Shall I read it or not?" "Read it later" "OK, read it later, Your Honor!" "Better not read it, okay?" "Yes" "Sung Shih-chieh, what do you want?" "Spitting and prosecution" "First, you Shansi Magistrate for negligence" "Someone died a tragic death... in the area of your jurisdiction and you ignored it" "And you Chief Sec for covering up your sister's murder" "And you Canton Magistrate Ho Yu-ta for accepting bribes to pervert justice and for gassing wantonly" "And you too" "Me?" "No?" "You as Inspector General are muddle-headed and indulgent to your subordinates" "Though you're famous for your honesty, you've aroused much complaint lf this is brought to the Court, your whole family will be involved" "Counsel Sung is superb!" "Adjourned!" "Mrs Sung, feeling good?" "Okay" "Here" "Mr Sung, feeling good?" "Let me..." "Any other complaint, Mr Sung?" "Your sister is a killer" "She's no good to live" "Chop her dead" "Are you serious?" "Yes" "Mr Sung, what about us?" "What about us?" "Mr Sung, what about us?" "Chop you all!" "Mr Sung!" "You stand so high" "How can I hear you?" "Mr Sung, you've been reinstated" "And we don't deserve death, do we?" "Right..." "Why ask me?" "I don't know" "Ask His Honor!" "Your Honor!" "Discharged pending investigation?" "Yes..." "Please" "Thank you" "As to myself..." "Go on" "Everything must proceed according to rule" "Here's an ideal position." "Come..." "What do you think I should do, Mr Sung?" "You've fully observed the rules" "So nice!" "Yes!" "I won't sue you" "Let's go" "Darling, who are they?" "Mandarins!" "Oh, mandarins!" "Superb!" "Darling, you helped Yang solve the case" "Now you needn't worry about children without birds" "Now I resent too many kids with birds" "Come..." "Come over..." "Bow to the brothers!" "Come!" "Hurry up!" "Be nice!" "Hold it!" "What's wrong?" "The feng shui seems to have moved" "Where?" "Over there" "Better..." "Okay" "Are you ready?" "Yes" "Turn!" "Turn!"
