Thirty-seven-year-old criminal defense lawyer Zhou Zheng woke up and became the ancient widow Liu Mengdan.
Her husband died suddenly, arsenic was found in her room, and her husband's family accused her of having an affair and murdering her husband. There was no trial or defense. The clan had prepared a pig cage and planned to sink her to the bottom of the river before dawn.
In order to survive, she pointed out the scars on her husband's neck in public, forcing the county government to conduct a new autopsy.
However, the deceased's nails were cut clean, his clothes were missing, and the confessions of the husband's family seemed to come from the same mouth. What's even more bizarre is that before her husband was found dead, a document accusing her of "poisoning her husband" was sent to the county government.
From clearing himself of the crime of murdering his husband to redressing the grievances of those who could not go to court or write petitions, Liu Mengdan gradually became a litigator that the powerful were afraid of.
