Episode 2

What are you doing?

What else can I do?

I'm opening the lock.

Why don't you use your own hairpin?

It's just handy.

Here, light this up.

Hold this.

Turns out you know how to crack a crib.

There's never too many skills.

We're counting on it to save our lives.

Closer.

Focus on opening the lock.

Take it back.

I'll do it myself.

Why isn't he awake yet?

Let me handle this.

Who's plotting against me? You are screwed.

Over here.

Miss.

Why are you poisoning me?

I'm not a bad person.

I saved you.

You looks like

a bad person now.

Kid, don't talk nonsense.

I'm not talking nonsense. You...

Have a look.

What did I do?

It's not like what you think.

Here's the thing.

You said you were cold.

I took off my shirt for you.

Then you said, you were still cold.

So I took this off for you too.

Alright, alright.

You knocked me out, I poisoned you.

We're even now.

What are you doing?

I'm helping you up. What else?

Why are you so nervous?

Nonsense!

Higher.

Detective Su, pull me up.

Detective Su.

Do you think I'm troublesome

so you ignore me?

We saved lives together,

fell into water together.

I even saved you when we fell into the water.

How can you be so ungrateful?

Alright.

Miss.

Tonight, you shall sleep at...

Why are you staring at me?

I...

I'll pour the water away.

I'll pour the water away.

Ok.

Young Master.

Young Master, you're finally back.

Why is your body with all mud?

Where's that girl?

She's in there.

This is the masked man who's saved that girl.

Xie Beiming.

Turns out, it's the young master of Feiyun Manor.

It's an honour to meet you at last.

Do you know me?

I'm Pei Zhao.

As an itinerant,

how could I have not heard of

your reputation?

I know, you're...

You're right.

I also wanna save that girl.

Yes.

We both wanna help that girl.

I'm Su Ci from Mingjing Office.

Nice to meet you.

Su Ci?

You're the great young detective,

who can communicate with supernatural beings with your eyes?

It seems all of you are big shots.

We wouldn't know each other without conflicts.

Yes, indeed.

Miss.

Where's the bride who was supposed to be sacrificed?

I gave her some money for her to flee.

Turns out you're not the real bride.

Of course not.

I don't have scales. How can I marry Dragon King?

So you were just

helping out that girl?

I wanted to pretend as the bride

to punish

those ignorant people who don't treat life seriously.

I didn't expect you guys to ruin it.

Well, Miss,

you replaced the bride as sacrifice.

How did you plan to get out of this?

Using poison.

So they'll have diarrhea for the next two weeks.

As for how to get out of it,

I didn't figure that out.

You're behaving as you are.

You're quite handsome and easygoing as well.

We're about the same.

Oh right.

I'm called Dong Rushuang.

Nice to meet you, everyone.

It's getting late now.

Let's just stay here for a night

and make plans tomorrow.

Okay.

Brother Su, let's go.

Okay.

Your Highness.

Did you come here with Detective Su to investigate an important case?

How did you know me?

Years ago, when you won a war

and came back with victory,

I saw you

from far away on the street.

Prince Qi is a young hero.

You have always been my idol.

Detective Su still doesn't know my identity.

Don't worry. I'll keep your secret.

But you have to let me assist you.

Assist me?

I would like to be a hero like you,

who's so chivalrous and righteous.

Okay.

That's great.

The Legend of Prince Qi, Victory at Kunshan

Why do you still stay up?

Here.

Here you go.

Burnt. Harmful substance. Shouldn't be eaten.

I'm not hungry.

Are you disgusted by my dirty pigeon?

Not disgusted.

It's just that my eyesight is better than others.

Hence you have more trouble.

I would love to have your trouble.

What's going on?

Your eyes

are injured on the battlefield, right?

How do you know?

There's callus between your index finger and middle finger.

It's a mark left by years of archery.

Brother Su is really observant.

Impressive.

When we were discussing

about how to save Rushuang,

your plan was meticulous,

And you're able to command steadily.

It's obvious that you were an experienced soldier.

The army of Fan Yan Na is good at using poisonous arrows.

They have injured and killed many soldiers.

I bet your eyes

were also injured then.

General, watch out! The arrow is poisonous.

Are you

the subordinate of Prince Qi?

That's right.

I was the captain of Prince Qi's western troop.

Really?

Then...

Look at you.

You're supposed to be a potential general.

Why did you become

a misbehaving unruly vagabond?

Your Majesty.

Although Prince Qi has credit in fighting the enemy,

the war with Fan Yan Na has been over.

Prince Qi should give up his military power.

Or else,

people may think he's keeping the power for his own use

to control the imperial court

and affect the national foundation.

Your Majesty.

Prince Qi fought in wars

and gain many credits.

If he faces restrain as soon as he's back,

I'm afraid that our soldiers

will be bitterly disappointed.

Aren't you afraid that the people may say that

His Majesty kicks out hero after making use of him?

Besides,

the war was just over.

If Prince Qi returns the military power now,

the enemy may try to attack again.

Please think this through, Your Majesty.

Please think this through, Your Majesty.

Please think this through, Your Majesty.

Please think this through, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

This issue affects the national foundation.

We can't take a step back.

Please take back the Tiger Tally, Your Majesty.

Brother.

You don't have to do this.

I have decided.

The Legend of Prince Qi, Victory at Kunshan

You like Prince Qi?

Yes.

Folklore

isn't necessarily true.

How would you know if it's not true?

Fellow mates.

I'm going to investigate now.

Farewell.

Let's go together.

It's not necessary.

Brother Su.

It's necessary.

We don't need many people for investigation.

Anyway, the reason I became an itinerant

is to be chivalrous and righteous,

and punish the evil.

I have to

be involved in this.

That's right.

Investigation is so interesting.

I have to be part of it.

The Robbery by Dragon King isn't so simple.

Perhaps we can be of help.

Besides, we have been through troubles together.

You wouldn't be so ungrateful, right?

Young Master.

Why are we following Detective Su?

I came to investigate.

Not to follow Detective Su.

However,

we can also investigate on our own.

Why must we follow Detective Su?

First, he's the young officer of Mingjing Office.

It's more convenient for him to investigate.

Well, second...

What's the second point?

Second, although he's just a young officer,

he's very righteous

and brilliant.

If anything happens to him,

it'll be a lost to Liang dynasty.

Therefore...

Therefore we have to protect him.

Okay.

Why isn't he here yet?

Could anything have happened to Brother Xie?

Since Brother Xie volunteered to get into the water,

he must be very confident.

Here he is.

It's Brother Xie.

Take this.

It seems this young master

is really good at holding his breath.

But he's lacking

the ability to judge.

You can't swim.

Beware that you might fall into water again.

Here, Brother Xie.

Okay.

Brother Xie.

You're great.

You could stay under water for so long.

This is the skill of holding breath.

My adoptive father taught me that.

Thank you, Brother Xie.

Here.

Dry yourself.

I didn't expect you to be so great,

Warrior Xie.

Brother Su.

I'm truly sorry.

It's really muddy underneath.

I couldn't see anything.

That's all I could get.

See if they're useful.

This isn't a normal board.

It's a board of a boat.

It smells like turpentine and wax.

It's for decay prevention.

They're only applied on boards for boats.

It's the waterproof partition.

Between the hull and the deck,

there's a waterproof partition.

If the hull bottom is broken,

waterproof partition can prevent water from entering the hull.

You even know such thing.

I have seen it in war.

There was a heavy thunderstorm

on the night

the fund was transported here.

A flash of lightning

struck the ship.

According to what the witnesses said,

that ship transporting silvers

was stroke by lightning.

Lightning always hits the highest spot.

If it hits a ship,

it should hit the mast.

This waterproof board

is at the hull bottom.

Furthermore, there's trace of burning here.

This isn't caused by lightning.

It's obvious that the ship was leaking from bottom.

There is...

What?

Scent of gunpowder.

It seems the Robbery by Dragon King is man-made.

Fei Yun Inn

Brother Su, you're really great.

You found so many clues

from just a piece of board.

I should thank Brother Pei's sharp sense of smell,

which could detect the leftover scent of gunpowder.

What about me?

Without me,

could you find this board?

Yes. Thank you for your help, Brother Xie.

Meal's ready!

I'm so hungry.

Give it to me.

Enjoy, young master.

Enjoy, everyone.

Isn't this too bland?

Sir.

Brother Xie.

Qingshui County is starting to face a famine.

At least we have food to eat.

Brother Xie.

That's right.

The disaster relief fund was lost.

The folks sacrifice living person as offering.

Evil traders seize the chance to increase food prices.

It seems it's time for us to meet

the magistrate of Qingshui County.

Brother Xie, Miss Rushuang,

please help collect some food

to save the folks.

Leave it to me.

Detective Su, it's been a hard journey

for you to come all the way here.

I'm not in my best shape as a host.

Please forgive me.

Don't be extra polite, Officer Kong.

Detective Su.

I'll have someone prepare the best food.

Officer Kong.

Leave out the unnecessary formalities.

I was ordered to investigate the case of missing disaster relief fund.

There's progress.

The shipwreck wasn't an accident.

The trace on this board

is the evidence.

Detective Su.

Are you kidding?

Using this board of boat as evidence

will be the joke of the state government.

Can you show me

the boxes found?

If you insist on seeing them,

I will of course not stop you.

Detective Su.

When these boxes were fished out,

I opened them in front of the folks.

There are all rocks

in there.

Tell me.

Besides Dragon King,

who else can get the pieces of silver

without unlocking the boxes?

Only human would deceive others in supernatural way

and have the gods and ghosts to take the blame.

Detective Su,

what do you mean?

The boxes were substituted.

These boxes were fished out

on site by the dredging team.

And this lock which has the word "Ji" on it,

was ordered by His Majesty

to be made specially as a blessing

to those counties that faced disasters.

The person who substituted the boxes

only know that there's "Ji" on the lock,

but he doesn't know that,

in order to please His Majesty,

Ji the Ministry of Revenue didn't use

the traditional calligraphy to make it.

Instead, the handwritten "Ji" by His Majesty.

If I remember correctly,

the "Ji" that His Majesty writes

has a longer upper stroke

and shorter lower stroke.

That's right.

Hence someone used the name of supernatural

to substitute the disaster relief fund.

Detective Su.

This can't possibly be done

in front of the public.

After eliminating all the impossibilities,

what's left is the truth.

Magistrate Kong claims Robbery by Dragon King is true.

Could you be feeling guilty?

Don't you think you can be rude

just because you're Detective Su's friend.

As the local magistrate,

not only that you didn't help settle the victims well,

you don't even care about the case.

Even when a living person was sacrificed as offering,

you were nowhere to be seen.

If all officers are like you,

everyone can just be rude to the superiors.

Detective Su.

I respect you because you're from Mingjing Office.

I have been cooperative.

As for if I've neglected my job,

that's the judgment of the Monitoring Office.

You have no right to judge me here.

As an officer,

if you only understand slander,

you should really have the monitoring officers

come by.

Officer Kong.

Detective Su.

The disaster relief fund is indeed missing.

If you have the capability,

then ask it back from Dragon King.

I still have duty.

See you.

Take my token

and contact all the shops under the name of Feiyun Manor.

Have them collect food for me.

The shops under Feiyun Manor's name are everywhere.

We need a few months to contact them.

Then have the food transported here.

That will require half a year.

I'm afraid...

That's the case.

The aid is too far away to be of use.

We don't need great tools to get small jobs done.

It's just food collection.

Let me handle it.

There are so many victims in this county.

This should be the richest family of Qingshui County.

Hu Mansion

Open the door.

Here I come.

Open the door.

Open the door.

What's going on?

Is your master home?

Who are you?

I'm a female warrior.

I want to talk to your master about robbing the rich and helping the poor.

My master isn't around.

You're insane.

No.

I...

Why did you stop me just now?

If you keep fighting with Magistrate Kong,

we won't be able to leave the county court.

But...

Didn't you notice what he said?

He said,

the disaster relief fund is gone anyway.

What you mean is,

Magistrate Kong has long substituted

the disaster relief fund?

Therefore,

our urgent mission is to find out

how the disaster relief fund was substituted.

And where are the pieces of silver?

They were still on the boat when it sank.

They all turned into rocks when they were pulled out.

When the villagers went into the water afterwards,

there was no pieces of silver.

During the process of dredging,

the villagers were watching.

It couldn't be faked.

Dredging boat.

That's the only way to get close to the pieces of silver.

This is the dredging boat.

Since it came back that day,

it hasn't been used.

What about those who were in charge of fishing out?

They were from the county government.

They aren't here.

This boat

looks just like a normal dredging boat.

There's nothing special.

But when something is done,

there will surely be trace of it.

Stop.

What are you doing?

Listen up.

Robbery.

Hold on a second.

We're not here to rob.

We came to see your master

to borrow food for the victims.

Why would our master

give his food to the poor fellows?

Where did your master's food come from?

Didn't he get them from the folks?

Now that the folks are starving,

they have no strength to plant.

The one who is at lost eventually

is your master.

It's still a no.

I shall buy it then, okay?

No.

You!

Let me tell you.

If you don't leave,

I will not be polite to you.

Listen to me.

Come on.

Don't be polite at all.

Let me tell you.

We came to rob.

Give me all your food.

Beat them up.

How dare you!

You!

Hit them.

Come on.

Warrior Xie.

My medication is very expensive.

Can you not use all of them for yourself?

Sorry, Rushuang.

When will I faint this time?

You won't faint.

Really? Then I shall rest my mind.

What are you looking at?

If you don't give up your food,

you will be

in a worse shape than them.

Don't run.

Where's the food?

Have mercy, Miss.

I'll take you to get it.

Rushuang.

Why do I feel like my lips are numb?

Let's get the food first.

Food?

Yes, let's get the food.

What are you looking at?

Rushuang.

50,000 tael.

3,000 jin.

Sir.

If this boat is carrying 3,000 jin of load,

where would the waterline be?

It should be at

the strong imprinted waterline.

Brother Bei, look.

There are two stains of waterlines here.

Coincidentally, there are green algae floating recently.

Therefore they left

a light stain on the hull.

On the way back to the shore,

the burden of the boat

is double the weight of the disaster relief fund.

The rocks were first unloaded.

3,000 jin of disaster relief fund was left on the boat

until two days ago.

Hence there's this second waterline.

However,

how were the pieces of silver loaded onto the ship?

How was it undiscovered?

They weren't loaded onto the ship.

They weren't?

But...

The disaster relief fund

was dragged back using a fish net.

The food is enough to save many people.

Thank you.

I don't dare to take the honour.

Why not?

We're borrowing the food as we promised.

Give this letter of indebtedness to your master.

Tell him to ask for the food back from Feiyun Manor.

Okay.

Oh right.

The interest of borrowing the food.

It's all yours.

Let's go.

Let's go, Warrior Xie.

Please, Warrior Rushuang.

Why did you give him so much money?

Isn't that too much?

Was it?

But I don't know the price of food.

Forget about it.

Take it as medical charge.

We hit so many of them.

Forthright, righteous.

Intelligent, brave.

Pleasant to work with you.

Pleasant to work with you.

From now on, we'll work together

to rob the rich and save the poor.

Deal.

Deal.

Let's go.

I'll confront Magistrate Kong now

and have him plead guilty, executed

and return the disaster relief fund.

What we said is just an assumption.

We have to find the evidence

to hit in one strike.

Lest Magistrate Kong will take desperate measure.

Then we can only react.

Could we just let him embezzle?

Let's go.

Pull me.

It seems the direction of my investigation is right.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Are your eyes fine?

I'm fine.

I'll just apply some medication later.

Alright.

Let's go.

How are you?

I may have sprained myself just now.

You're injured. Don't force yourself.

I'm fine.

Let me carry you.

No need.

I can walk myself.

I can't see.

You have to tell me the directions.

Come on.

What are you waiting for?

Two of us, one is blind

and one is lame.

We can help each other out.

Take a big step.

Keep going?

Yes.

The code of Liang dynasty

is separated into 6 chapters.

They are robbery, theft, imprisoning...

Are...

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What are you thinking about instead of focusing on the road?

Sorry.

Take one step right.

Right?

Yes.

Okay.

Keep going forward.

Take one small step left.

Yes.

Keep going.

Why isn't Young Master back yet?

Beware of staircase.

A threshold.

Alright.

Young Master.

Put me down.

Young Master.

Fei Yan.

Why are you back only now?

Have the servant prepare us water for bath.

Okay.

The two of you...

Of course not.

Of course we're bathing separately.

Okay.

Fei Yan, hold on.

Brother Pei's eye disease is recurring.

Just take care of him.

What?

Don't mind me.

Help Detective Su back to his room first.

No need, I'm fine.

Go back for medication.

I'm fine. He shall help you back first.

I'm really fine.

I can take care of myself.

Let me tell you, go back to your room first.

Your eye disease is more important. You should go first.

Alright now.

I'm the suffering one after all.

Let's go together.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Your eyes are well again?

I found the medicine for Detective Su.

I shall send it to him now.

Fei Yan.

This...

He doesn't want me to bring anything.

But he asks it from me when he needs something.

Does he think I'm celestial with magic?

It's him!

He wanted to sacrifice me to the Dragon King.

You monster.

Calm down.

Investigation is more important.

I'll spare your unworthy life for now.

If you're still going to do human sacrifices,

I will not forgive you.

Thank you, sir!

I won't. I won't do it again.

When the ship carring the official silver arrived at Qingshui County,

did you see it with your own eyes?

Yes, I saw it, I saw it.

What happened actually on the day the ship sank?

Tell the truth.

There are actually signs

of the robbery by the Dragon King.

The night before the ship sank,

I observed the sky,

It's terrible!

Terrible? What's terrible?

That night, a comet was seen nearby the Big Dipper.

It was a bad sign.

Trying to avoid something bad to happen,

I was manifesting a divination all night,

and the divination showed that

there will be a disaster

in the next 30 years.

As expected,

Next morning,

the ship that carried the official silver was just entering into the Qingshui County,

suddenly wind blew strong, sky turned cloudy,

and it seemed as if it's night time during the day.

Although this person's statement is over-exaggerating,

it was basically similar to how the crowd described the scene.

This is a punishment from Dragon King to the disaster caused.

Nonsense.

It was just all a groundless statement.

You don't believe what I said, right?

If you don't,

ask the boatman that was saved during that time,

He was on the boat.

Where is the boatman?

He's recovering at home.
