Shen Qingtang, 30 years old, has been practicing for eight years and is a public interest lawyer specializing in legal aid cases. The biggest case she has ever handled in her life was to obtain state compensation for a wronged migrant worker; the thing that made her collapse the most was working overtime until three in the morning and falling into a fish tank in a rental house - when she woke up, she became the daughter of a poor scholar with the same name in Linhe County, Jiangnan Province, Dayan Dynasty.
In ancient times, there was no lawyer system and no legal aid. Litigation was an exclusive game for the rich. The poor can't even write a petition, let alone argue with the county magistrate about legal provisions in court.
Shen Qingtang looked at his shabby house with only four walls, and was silent for three seconds. Then he washed his face, went out and set up a stall - there were four words written on the sign: Ghostwriting Paper.
But she not only ghostwrote, she also taught people how to collect evidence, how to preserve evidence, how to speak in court, and how to deal with the county magistrate's attempts to dig holes.
Pei Shidu, the envoy of Jiangnan Road, Si Qianshi, was in the fifth rank, and was in charge of the punishment of a province. When he was touring the counties, he heard that there was a female litigator in Linhe County who specialized in "instigating" people to file complaints, and he already believed that this was an unruly act. However, after he sat in the Linhe County Government Office for a while, he discovered that this woman quoted from classics and had meticulous logic in court, and every word she said was on point - and all the people she helped were truly desperate.
How far can a modern public interest lawyer go in an ancient dynasty where even the profession of "lawyer" did not exist?
Well, how much trouble will it cause?
