Suzhou Lawyer

Shen Baoyu, a famous criminal master in Songjiang Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, offended the powerful because he refused to forge a deed and fled to Suzhou overnight. He hid in a dilapidated alley called "Paper Umbrella Alley" outside Xumen, rented a side room, and made a living by writing letters on his behalf. No one knew that this down-and-out scholar had a photographic memory and was proficient in 300 items of the "Law of the Ming Dynasty". Mrs. Chen from Alley Tofu Shop is illiterate and someone tampered with the marriage contract. Her granddaughter is about to have her engagement annulled in vain. Shen Baoyu read the marriage document and only said: "This clause is inconsistent with the law." Granny Chen's case has not yet been settled. The money shopkeeper of the grocery store was set up and lost money. The butcher Lin Dadao was sued for his homestead. Even the father's old friend from the government office came to the door and asked him to investigate an old case that had been buried for fifteen years. Neighbors in Zhi Umbrella Lane gradually discovered that the pen in the hands of the usually taciturn Mr. Shen could write petitions for the poor, silence his opponents in court, and dig out forgotten truths from the pile of old papers. On the other side of Suzhou City, another well-known lawyer "Jinbi Wu" was watching with cold eyes. At the same time, Master Zhou from Songjiang, who forced him to flee, was also transferred to Suzhou. A greater threat comes from an old case - the mysterious copper seal left by his father, implicating the ghosts of a family of more than 30 people six years ago... Understand the law and argue the right and wrong. A little man's counterattack begins in Paper Umbrella Alley. This is a historical novel that combines legal investigation and urban fireworks. There are no intrigues in the court, no fights in the palace, only the joys and sorrows of the people at the bottom, and fairness and justice guarded by a lawyer with a pen.
