[The Ingenious One]

[Episode 25 Lingyuan in martial world]

-Captain.
-Captain.

Did you hear anything just now?

Captain,

we made 7,000 taels last night.

How much more do we need?

More than 50,000 taels.

Even if we don't sleep day and night,

we still need four or five days.

Operate one more day.

Sink the rest of the official ingots tomorrow.

Captain,

what about Young Master?

I'll handle it.

Captain, a lot of boats are here.

Lousy officials!

Captain run! We'll cover you!

Yeah Captain!

We'll stay here.

Captain please hide out.

If the worst comes to the worst, it's just dying.

If we let Captain risk your life,

what's the point of having us?

Please leave!

Captain!

Brothers.

See you in the underworld!

Defend on the upper deck!

Life and death won't matter anymore!

Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry up!

What should we do?

Run!

Hurry! Run!

Go! Run!

Kill all the bandits of Lingyuan Sect!

My lord.

I found a secret cabin.

Come.

Surrender!

Please spare our lives, my lord.

Get out of the way!

Did you see a soaking wet thief passing by?

No.

Let's go.

Sir.

We searched along the river.

No trace of the thief.

You tracked him all the way up here.

Yes my lord.

We've blocked the street as you ordered.

This is the only way out.

[Code]

Uncle,

are you sure he came here?

The bandit of Lingyuan Sect.

Where are you going?

That one didn't turn around.

Over there.

It's him.

After him!

Out of the way!

You traitor!

If you surrender, you won't need to suffer.

Wait for me here.

You're the head bandit of Lingyuan Sect in Nandu.

Tell me the truth.

You bunch of hypocrite thieves

will be overthrown someday.

You've gained substantial power in Nandu.

You must've secretly developed for many years.

Why did you suddenly rob the official boat?

You'll face death penalty just for money.

To this point, why don't you tell me the truth?

I have the power

to keep you alive.

Open your mouth.

He hid poison in his mouth.

Take the body back.

Yes, my lord.

Guards!

Princess.

They don't care about their lives?

Princess,

don't mind this rascal.

You must be tired after staying up all night.

Li Bo,

take the Princess back to rest.

Yes, my lord.

This way please.

[Liansheng House]

How is it?

The pleasure boat was attacked by soldiers.

If Miss Shu hadn't reminded us in time,

I'm afraid we would already be in prison.

Senior.

I used to be against Miss Shu...

Is Mr. Mo in Guanghui Bank?

Yes.

Take me to see him.

Where is Mr. Yun going?

I don't know where he's going.

I'll be back in my room.

Senior.

I've been annoyed since Mr. Mo returned.

If we get into an argument later,

please don't blame me.

It's okay.

Is there a shadowman following us?

Yes.

Please give the order

to spy on Shu Yanan.

Are you mad at me for suspecting Miss Shu?

Perhaps in this world,

nobody can be trusted.

Understood.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Your injury isn't healed and you're still drinking.

Who will take care of you for the rest of your life?

Don't worry.

I don't have much time left.

Give it to me.

Watch it.

It's expensive.

It costs 100,000 taels.

A pot of wine worth 100,000 taels.

Mr. Mo,

why don't you share it with everyone?

You were unjustly imprisoned

and thus suffered a lot because of me.

Now I caused the bank to lose half of its silver taels.

It's all my fault.

I'll show my apology with this cup of wine.

Enough.

My wine is expensive.

Forget it.

It's just 100,000 taels.

We can earn more after losing them.

I'm not blaming you.

I just can't accept the fact.

So what?

Liu Gongquan has the reputation.

From his perspective,

both Yuntai and Lingyuan

are the enemies of the imperial court.

He's already targeting us.

What's the point of hiding now?

It doesn't matter.

Now we only need a bait

to distract the Detective of Jiangnan.

Bait? What bait?

I...

Don't look at me like that.

I would never sacrifice myself for others.

The Detective of Jiangnan suddenly came to Nandu.

Although it may cause trouble,

but it also brings variables.

All things in the world

rely on variables.

Variables create opportunities.

It's even too late to hide.

Why do you want to get into trouble?

Go on.

There are still many uncertainties

in the water ghost robbery case.

I'm here

to find out the truth with you.

[Jishan Hall]

Han Zi said,

Confucianism disrupts the law with literature,

whilst soldiers break the rules with weapons.

Both acts are inappropriate.

However, scholars are still highly reputed.

Although the acts of Youxia may not fully

embody the principles of justice,

one must keep his words and actions.

I've made my promise.

I rather sacrifice myself

and protect others from danger.

Sister.

Have you been a good girl?

I see there are two more children.

Jin found a new clue.

He helped to pull some strings

and asked someone to search in Yangzhou.

They were redeemed from a restaurant.

We have more evidence now.

Let's follow this lead.

I think we'll find the rest of the children soon.

I'll call you Warrior Su from now on.

You learned a lot from one lesson.

I think you have the talent to be a teacher.

Brother Su is a good teacher.

I can't.

You're little troublemakers.

I've found a proper teacher.

He'll be here in a few days.

Aren't you producing tributary cloth?

Why do you have time to come here?

Everything is ready over there.

I don't have to make it myself anyway.

Why didn't you visit Liansheng House?

I'm not going there.

Yun will come and see me if he needs anything.

I don't want to remind him

that he can make use of me, right?

You boy.

You're finally smart.

Sister.

How did you braid my hair today?

Xiaoyu's hair is not long enough.

It should grow longer to be braided into styles.

So remember to eat well

and sleep well.

Your hair can grow faster.

Then I need to grow up quickly

and grow my hair.

I still want Sister Shu to braid my hair.

Xiaoyu is the best.

Xiaoyu was the first one here.

You and Jiabao should take care of

other brothers and sisters.

Look at you.

You're so thoughtful today.

Let's build a swing in this yard.

Take good care of the teacher as well.

As long as he settles here,

we can feel more assured.

These children have undergone many hardships.

The caretaker shouldn't change frequently.

You only talk

but you don't come and help out.

Come on.

Let's play cuju.

Come on.

Let's go.

My turn. My turn.

Pass it to me.

Sister went to the Jishan Hall to help.

Jishan Hall?

It's the new name of Jishan Hall.

Jin named it.

Good name.

When did Yanan go there?

About half past six.

Does Master miss Miss?

I know I shouldn't ask.

But these days,

why are Master and Miss

always avoiding each other?

No.

We were together yesterday.

Although you were together,

you were emotionally distant.

Master. Manager.

There is a guest.

It's obvious that she disguised herself as a man.

She lost 1,000 taels within half an hour.

She lost every move.

It seemed she did it on purpose.

I'm afraid she's here for trouble.

Let's have a look.

Sir, according to

the rules of the Chamber of Commerce,

we only accept silver taels or silver certificates.

You...

Ridiculous.

How am I going to get payback with this?

Miss,

I guess you're out of luck today.

Why don't we come another day?

Who are you?

I'm the Master of Liansheng House.

Master?

[King Fu's Family should not be interfered in and out of the palace when being on duty]

If Liansheng House wins this jade pendant,

I'm afraid I'll end up in prison.

Please show mercy, Your Highness.

My name is not written on it.

How did you know?

Since you already know who I am,

how dare you talk to me like that?

What if you'll be penalised for being disrespectful?

Sir,

would you like to

have a chat upstairs?

Since Young Master Xiang of Nandu invited me personally,

I won't refuse.

Come on.

Let's go on.

Enjoy.

Tell me.

How did you know who I was?

King Fu is known for being loyal to love.

When Her Highness was severely ill,

King Fu swore to never marry again.

He kept his promise until now.

Just now I saw "King Fu's Family",

which was carved on the jade pendant.

As far as I know,

the princess is the only female figure

in King Fu's family.

How dare you peasant

talk about the royal family affairs?

I dare not.

I just want to answer your question.

Will you answer

anything I ask you with honesty?

Of course.

What's your relationship

with that female manager?

She is the manager of Liansheng House.

I'm the Master of Liansheng House.

That's all.

Is Your Highness satisfied with my answer?

Sit down.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Don't say thank you.

Apologize to me first.

I came to visit you.

But several pages told me

Mr. Yun never met guests.

Now I understand.

If Your Highness only wins and never loses,

you'll probably be treated as a cheater and get evicted.

But Your Highness only loses and never wins.

Your Highness spent a lot of money and had no intention to stop.

Such an unusual guest

will surely arouse the suspicion of Master.

You lost 1,000 taels in a row

solely to draw me out.

You are indeed smart and sharp.

No wonder you're Yun Xiang.

You've been famous within shortly a month.

You're indeed quite clever.

But I still don't understand.

Why did you want to use this badge

as collateral?

If I hadn't find out in time,

I'm afraid I'd be in big trouble.

But no one has ever asked me to wait for an hour.

I wanted to teach you a lesson,

but you were lucky.

You came at the right time.

I see.

Am I asking you? Or are you asking me?

I dare not.

I think Your Highness has a prestigious status.

It's too risky

to come here alone.

I wonder if Lord Liu came with you.

Why did Mr. Yun follow the pleasure boat last night?

It must be

because of the money in the boat.

As for the robbery of official silver,

it must be related to Mo Bufan, Mr. Yun's friend.

Your Highness really came prepared.

I also heard from Magistrate Shao

the official silver stolen a few days ago

was paid back by Mr. Su.

Yun Xiang,

how many accomplices do you have in Nandu?

The female manager

doesn't seem to have an affair with you.

Is she also your accomplice?

Your Highness.

She's not my accomplice.

We're just friends in business.

Enough of the cunning.

Yun Xiang,

it's better if you tell me now.

If my uncle comes,

you might not be able to survive.

Remember.

Yun Xiang is not an ordinary person.

He won't use ordinary means.

I understand. As usual.

My lord is the good cop. I'll be the bad cop.

Go upstairs and help.

Prepare the tea and dessert.

Be considerate and treat them well.

Girl.

Sir.

Is Mr. Yun here?

Mr. Yun is receiving his guest.

He specially asked us not to disturb him.

What kind of special guest?

Lead us the way.

If you keep barging in,

I'll tell the officials.

Move.

This is the place.

Move.

Move.

Uncle, I'll leave this to you.

Leave now.

Your Highness.

My lord said last time

you can't get involved in these things.

I just wanted to help you

get more information

and close the case as soon as possible.

I want to solve these disputes.

I don't want to see anybody

die in front of me again.

Good evening, Lord Liu.

Since you know who I am,

let's be honest with each other.

Don't beat around the bush.

Good.

In that case,

do you admit committing the crime?

I didn't report the information.

According to the law, I will be caned 30 times.

So it was indeed you

who followed me yesterday.

Do you have wine, Mr. Yun?

To be honest,

compared to the bandits of Lingyuan Sect,

I hate those hypocrites of Yuntai Sect more.

I'm all ears.

Lingyuan Sect

are just a bunch of bandits.

They're calling for the resurgence of orthodoxy.

In fact, it's for power.

It's for the position above all people.

It's the same with Yuntai Sect,

but they pretended to be sensible.

They retreated and hid away from the city.

How pathetic.

If they are talented, why won't they work as officials?

To serve the people in the rightful way.

You can't cross a river without being covered in mud.

Yuntai's people are used to maintaining their integrity.

The officialdom is full of uncertainties.

A mix of good and evil.

But it is the officialdom.

Humans are hard to predict. Both good and bad exist.

The only thing we can rely on is the law.

I hate Yuntai

because they claim to be superior.

How could they be above the law

because of maintaining the integrity?

What do you think, Mr. Yun?

The world is so complicated.

Who is cleaner than who?

I'm talking to you about Yuntai Sect.

Yuntai's people are also secular.

Wrong.

No matter if you are in officialdom or not,

there will be a river in front of you.

You must cross it to survive.

If you managed to cross it,

you might be covered in mud.

If you know you're covered in mud,

you're at least honest.

If you still pretend to be pure and innocent,

that would be really dirty.

Yuntai Sect.

It's dirty.

If you have something to say, say it now.

Otherwise, you won't have a chance

in the government dungeon.

To be honest,

even if Lord Liu didn't come tonight,

I will visit you tomorrow morning.

Nothing else.

I just want to make a deal with you.

A deal between Yuntai and imperial guards.

It's a deal between Lord Liu and me.

I'm willing to do my best to help you

solve the water ghost robbery case.

Indeed.

With the ability of the best Detective of Jiangnan.

it's not difficult to catch

some fleeing towboat soldiers.

But if you leave it to me,

I will get it done within three days.

And my offer is simple.

I just need to be exempted from the 30 canes.

In that case,

you'd better follow me to the government office.

Don't force me to arrest you.

You think this is an insignificant deal.

If you make a deal with strangers,

we have to start small.

We need to gain trust

and strengthen our relationship.

Then there will be big business.

You're very eloquent.

Yun Xiang, the crime you committed

is more than not reporting the information.

After you entered the city,

you caused constant chaos in the business world.

You also colluded with Mo Bufan from Guanghui Bank.

You're suspected of colluding with the pirate.

All of them.

Every one of them is a capital crime.

All the land belongs to the emperor.

Our imperial guards are the eyes of the emperor.

Do you really think you can hide

what you did from the world?

Since you came into the city,

you didn't try your best to arrest the robbers.

Instead, you kept an eye on me.

At first, I thought

you wanted to use me to lead the way

and take advantage of it.

Compared to arresting the bandits of Lingyuan Sect,

I'm more curious

why you are always against them.

Since you can go against them,

you should have greater leverage.

So you're sure

you can find more clues

about Lingyuan from me.

To this point, I should be honest with you.

I can let you go for now.

But you and I

should make a real value deal.

Did you catch them alive

when you suddenly attacked the boat?

The bandits of Lingyuan would rather die than surrender.

We only caught a few silversmiths

who were tricked onto the boat.

According to Lingyuan's way,

it's impossible for the silversmiths to know the truth.

So there is no way to prove it.

But do you suspect

that this water ghost robbery case

could be fabricated into a mystery?

The robbers have secretly shipped

official ingots back to the inner lake of Nandu.

As long as the money sank,

the case would be closed.

But they chose to melt silver and sell the stolen goods.

That's why they left a loophole.

Maybe it wasn't because of money

What if they did it intentionally?

Go on.

Recently, strange things have happened in the Nandu.

Everything is related to Lingyuan Sect.

The connection is quite subtle.

For example,

why don't you and I start

investigating those fleeing soldiers?

I will explain everything to you during this time.

My Lord.

You are an official and I am a civilian.

Even if the deal is over,

and you want to target me,

I can only surrender.

I can't escape even if I have wings.

That means

you're sure that this deal

will change my view towards Yuntai?

I dare not.

This has nothing to do with Yuntai.

It's just a deal between you and me.

Since you came here in person

to talk to me late at night,

I believe you agree with me.

In that case,

I will not let you down.

Girl,

are you going somewhere?

Why do you ask?

You sounded like

you were planning for your afterlife.

No, no, no.

It seemed like you were saying goodbye to us.

Don't be so sentimental.

Did a kid make your heart soft

Or did Tianhu make you smart?

No, no.

You and Miss Ke, don't see us like that.

You...

You're clearly thinking about it,

but you don't allow others to say it.

Didn't you return to Liansheng House for Tianhu?

Was it for Yun Xiang?

Goodbye, sir.

No.

I...

Girl, you pinched me.

-Don't talk to me.
-Uncle, wait for me.

[Liansheng House]

What did you promise me that day?

How could you meet the suspect alone?

You've been working hard lately.

I want to share your burden.

What was the result?

You grew up in a high wall and deep courtyard.

Everyone is respectful to you.

But there is the martial world outside the walls.

People don't live by the rules you know.

Your princess identity couldn't protect you,

and could even put you in more danger.

But as you said,

people in Yuntai are not evil.

-That's why I…
-Do you believe anything I say?

Can't I believe what you've said?

I just hope

Your Highness could be more careful

and protect yourself.

Okay, I got it.

I got it.

Uncle, don't be angry.

My lord,

what should we do with Yun Xiang?

It's hard to tell if he's good or bad. Not an ordinary man.

Just wait.

[Liansheng House]

Let the man

create turmoil to the world.

I'm going out of the city tomorrow.

Li Bo will be with you.

Just take a rest in the villa.

Judging from your look,

your enemy is here.

It would be easier if they were enemies.

That is Liu Gongquan, the Detective of Jiangnan.
