[Episode 10]

Why are you so concerned about me suddenly?

That's because...

Well... well...

Because...

Come on.

That's because we are buddies, right?

Let go of me.

Look, we spend every day together.

We're somewhat family to each other, right?

So if there's something about you that I don't know,

I wouldn't be worth being called Young Master of Jiang Family.

Brother Shui, I don't know what you went through.

But I think it must not be as bad as you think.

So I hope you can think positively.

It's all right. It's in the past.

But you're right.

The most important thing now

is to find the mastermind behind this case, understand?

Are you planning to sleep here tonight?

N-No.

Quiet, everyone.

The Magistrate will speak.

Go ahead, Your Excellency.

Everyone, the seasonal contagion in North Bay Village

made villagers destitute and homeless.

It truly pains me to watch them suffer.

I wonder if any merchants would be generous enough to fund

the construction of a refugee shelter.

Of course, I won't let you suffer a great loss.

For anyone willing to shelter refugees,

I will sign a five-year labor covenant with him.

Thank you very much.

We must mainly observe who's making abnormal bids.

When we find a suspect, I'll ask my uncle to bid at a higher price.

That way, we can save them.

In order to provide tangible benefits to refugees,

it all comes down to who can make the highest bid.

Now, you may start bidding.

Your Excellency, I bid 10,000 taels.

I bid 20,000 taels.

I've 27,000 taels!

Master Jiang, how much are you willing to bid?

It takes about 40,000 to sustain so many laborers.

Since it's for charity, I'm willing to pay a bit more.

I bid 50,000 taels.

Your Excellency, I operate Thousand Horses Hall.

I bid 80,000 taels.

Thousand Horses Hall works in haulage and the lumber trade.

We have done well for ourselves.

These refugees can work for Thousand Horses Hall

to lift your burden, Your Excellency.

Good, very good.

The generosity of Thousand Horses Hall

is truly a blessing for the civilians.

Manager Ma, why don't we sign the covenant now

and give the refugees a home as soon as we can?

What do you think?

All right.

Father, can we make a higher bid?

Master Jiang.

- Uncle. - Make a bid.

Make a bid.

Father.

I...

I bid 100,000 taels!

Doctors are quite kindhearted indeed.

How generous of you, Master Jiang.

However, our Master Ma has always been a benevolent man.

Therefore, Thousand Horses Hall doesn't want to hand over this meritorious deed, either.

Thousand Horses Hall will bid 110,000 taels.

I bid 120,000 taels.

It's 120,000 taels!

- I bid 150,000 taels! - It's 150,000 taels!

Our Jiang Family will bid...

No, we will stop at that.

We'll stop at that.

Everyone, let's keep drinking. Let's keep drinking.

Congratulations to Thousand Horses Hall.

Thousand Horses Hall is a great example for Chong'an City merchants

and a blessing to the refugees.

Everyone, let's make a toast together.

Bottoms up!

Come on, Young Master.

Something must be fishy about Thousand Horses Hall

for them to make such a high bid.

Let's follow him and see what's going on there.

Master.

How did it go?

It's done.

However, Jiang Family hindered our plan,

and we spent 150,000 taels.

The 150,000 taels?

It doesn't matter.

We'll earn the 150,000 taels back from these people sooner or later.

We found the waist token from Third Brother.

The waist token led us to the banquet.

From the banquet,

we noticed the most suspicious person is the Thousand Horses Hall manager.

Thus, all points to the refugees.

And this...

Right, it all points to the refugees.

We never heard Thousand Horses Hall participate in any charity events in the past.

This time, they spent 150,000 taels to bid on these refugees,

which is way over the market price.

They must have an ulterior motive.

Did Third Brother know the government found out about his kidnapping refugees at Lavish Lane?

That's why Ma Ru Long shifted his attention to the refugees.

What if Thousand Horses Hall really wants to do charity?

Thousand Horses Hall paid such a high price to accommodate refugees.

Would it be just to show how deep Thousand Horses Hall's pockets are?

Your analysis makes sense.

But the more important thing

should be the conversation we overheard at Ma Mansion.

Ma Ru Long said he will certainly make the money back with these refugees.

It's a total of 150,000 taels.

What I want to ask is, how will they earn it back?

This is such a mystery.

Brother, I can't help it anymore.

I want to ask you a question.

This is Third Brother. This is Thousand Horses Hall.

These are the refugees.

Wh-What's this?

This is the mystery.

It's such a mystery.

"Mystery"?

Is my painting so bad?

Forget it, I'll paint another one later.

[Never-lose Gambling Hall]

Junior Young Master, what a rare guest. What brought you here?

Lady Ba Xi, I'm just curious.

I want to get a taste of Lady Shui's usual haunt.

You want "a taste of her usual haunt"?

I see.

You want to get a feel of the place as you want something in common with her.

- That's right. - I'll show you around.

- All right. - Let's go.

Lady Ba Xi, what makes Never-lose Gambling Hall so fun?

Before you lift the cup, you never know what number of dice is under.

That's like you'll never know what will happen tomorrow.

That's what makes Never-lose Gambling Hall fun.

What's this?

It's called Pai Gow (gambling dominoes).

But I just learned a new way to play called divination style.

Junior Young Master, try flipping two cards.

Junior Young Master, you chose the marriage card.

Never let superstition control your thoughts.

I don't believe in these things.

Lady Ba Xi, I'll look over there on my own.

You go ahead.

Young Master Zhao, that's it for today then.

No, you'll leave after you won a few rounds against me?

Play another round!

You just won't stop until you hit a wall.

Fine, tell me. How do you want to play?

Sudden death. If I lose,

I'll agree to all your conditions.

If I win, you must come with me tonight.

Fine, let's do it.

Lady Zhe Xhi.

Junior Young Master, why are you here?

It's fine if you gamble.

But it's a disgrace to use your body as a bet.

I just heard it. This bet doesn't count.

Young Master Zhao, your family's Shan Ye Pharmacy

surely has a large fortune.

How can you do something as obscene as forcing someone by a bet?

No one forced me.

I agreed voluntarily.

- I'm opening it. - Lady Zhe Xhi, you agreed voluntarily?

Yes, stay out of it.

Since I saw it, I must meddle.

No, it doesn't concern you!

Lady Zhe Xhi.

Who told you to touch my dice cup?

Lady Zhe Xhi, you lost.

You tried to be the hero,

yet you ended up pushing the beauty into the fire pit.

Come with me.

Sorry for the offense, Young Master Zhao.

Stop right there!

Let go of me!

Young Master Zhao shouldn't be able to catch up.

You should go now, Lady Zhe Xhi.

By the way, a lady's innocence is priceless.

I hope you won't degrade yourself again.

Why would I lose if you didn't touch my dice cup?

I'm well-prepared to handle that Young Master Zhao.

Now you interfered in this,

he won't let me hear the end of it.

It's not right to gamble with your life anyway.

Lady Zhe Xhi, let me give you advice for the sake of

your cross-generation friendship with my brother.

Every lady in this world should have self-respect

despite one's background or profession.

I hope you will never bet on your body or your life again.

Goodbye.

"Cross-generation friendship"?

You have a cross-generation friendship!

Such a nag for his age.

You're the old man!

If they don't get proof,

the government will never take action against Ma Ru Long.

But by the time we get proof,

the refugees will fall victim to their crimes.

Here's the deal.

You study at home.

I'll go check Thousand Horses Hall again.

If there's a problem, I can collect evidence.

If not, I'll clear their name.

Either way, we get to the bottom of this.

I'm leaving now.

Brother Shui, it's too dangerous for you to go on your own.

I'll go even if it's dangerous.

I was homeless and led a roving life when I was a child.

I know very well refugees want a place to settle down.

I was lucky to enter Lang Ya Pavilion.

But what about them? They might go to a very dangerous place.

I mean I'll go with you.

It's too dangerous. You already finished the task given to you in class.

Rescuing refugees and seeking truth has nothing to do with class.

Besides, you and I work so well together.

Even if we encounter danger...

I'll protect you. Let's go.

Look.

Let's move.

You two are quite something.

Third Brother. We don't need to fight, right?

If you do not resist, we'll plead for you to the government.

Third Brother. We don't want to fight with you.

There's no way out for you. You should just surrender.

If I have a choice, I don't want to fight you, either.

Unfortunately...

Retreat!

We have proof now. Notify the government to act.

It was just one day [Ma Mansion]

and these youngsters already found this place.

I really underestimated their ability to meddle.

I checked their background and found they

are Young Master of Jiang Family and his maid.

I heard they take an exam on the survey of people's living standards.

So they won't stop pursuing this case.

I was too careless and I ruined your plan, Master Ma.

Please punish me.

Anyway, you did your best.

Don't worry, I will take care of it.

You should find a place to hide for a while.

I'll ask someone to contact you if need be.

Yes.

Thank you, Master Ma.

Go on.

Who are you?

Seal this place inside and out.

Don't let anyone escape!

Yes.

Your Excellency, you're here.

Pardon me for not greeting you in advance.

Look at what you did!

Your Excellency.

Ma Ru Long, you've betrayed my trust.

What do you mean by that, Your Excellency?

Pardon me for being dull-witted. I don't understand what you mean.

Master Ma, are you playing possum with us?

We stayed outside Thousand Horses Hall all last night,

and we saw many refugees.

The refugees said they were abducted by the same man.

That man is your henchman, Ma San.

He not only abducted people from Thousand Horses Hall last night,

but he also lured and abducted civilians in Lavish Lane.

Master Ma, how do you explain that?

How can something like that happen?

Your Excellency, it's my fault for putting the wrong person on the job.

You're right, this Ma San does work for me.

I put a lot of trust in him.

I left the entire Thousand Horses Hall in his care.

Your Excellency, if that's the truth,

I'm willing to compensate civilians

for the pain they suffered.

Do you mean, you knew nothing of it?

I really didn't know.

Your Excellency, you cannot trust his statement.

Your henchmen did such malicious deeds.

How can you not know about it?

Besides, you paid a big price to shelter the refugees,

and he took such big risks to kidnap them.

No one will believe he did this

without anyone planning behind the scenes.

I'm afraid that's far from the truth.

If I'm really the mastermind behind this, why didn't I escape?

Would I stay and wait for my doom?

Please have fair judgment, Your Excellency.

Your Excellency, we searched the suspect's residence thoroughly.

- We found this money and account books. - What account books?

They are all accounts of human trafficking and slave trades.

Your Excellency, I am willing to help you bring this evil man to justice.

Master Ma.

San, you b*stard.

How dare you return here after committing such an abominable crime?

Since you're so undaunted and reckless, I can't save you anymore.

Ma Ru Long, you!

Take him away.

Move!

Hurry up!

Move!

Since Swordsman Shen is here, why didn't you take action?

I came to ask you for someone.

I wonder who you're looking for.

The Golden Phoenix Pin's owner you kidnapped from Jiang Province.

I don't know what you mean.

If you want to find someone in Lavish Lane,

I just need to say the word.

But Jiang Province isn't my territory.

Stop pretending. We fought a few times.

Hand him over now.

The Golden Phoenix Pin's owner deserves to die for writing the wrong prescription.

How about I help you seek revenge?

You don't seem to care he wrote the wrong prescription.

What wrong prescription?

Don't delay and waste time.

If you tell me sooner, I can still bring you out.

If you miss your chance, it won't be easy.

Besides, I'm not the only one who will come to see you tonight.

Fine, let's get down to business.

He told me once about

what happened between you.

What did he say?

He became a fugitive due to a murder case.

Yet the most famous murder in Chong'an that year

was medical sage, Jiang Jue, Jiang Family's leader.

At first, I wondered why

Shen Qing Li would chase after someone

with hatred for an accidental death long ago.

Later, I finally realized it was the murder case 7 years ago.

After all, killing someone's father is a relentless grudge.

Am I right, Young Master Jiang?

You're confusing me with someone else.

If what the Golden Phoenix Pin's owner said about your grudge is fake,

I was sent to jail as Third Brother.

How do you know I'm the masked man from Jiang Province?

Besides, when I mentioned Jiang Jue's death,

your reaction is enough to prove you're related to Jiang Family.

Who else besides Jiang Jue's son, Jiang Bai Yu would be

most concerned about the case?

You had an ulterior motive when you

purposely approached me.

The funny thing is, I really thought we were literature enthusiasts.

I was blind at the time.

I shouldn't have felt sorry for you two.

Fine,

since you recognized me, I won't deny it anymore.

But remember, I was the only one.

That girl doesn't know anything.

Besides, I didn't know

you were connected to the pin's owner when we discussed novels.

If only time would stop at the moment we met.

I've been a killer many years.

The happiest day of my life was the day I spent with you two.

You said it yourself that day,

what a killer did cannot be forgiven.

That means you do have a sense of propriety in your heart.

Tell me, where's the Golden Phoenix Pin's owner?

Did you forget?

I also said none of us has a better choice.

Take my advice, stop investigating.

Master Ma isn't someone you can mess with.

Don't get yourself in trouble.

I remember you gave me a choice in Lavish Lane.

Right now, I'll give you a choice, too.

Tell me the truth, and I'll keep you safe.

I won't say anything.

If he didn't give me a bite to eat at the time,

I wouldn't be alive now.

I know you won't kill me.

Go have your own life.

I'll forget you came tonight.

I won't tell anyone your identity.

The guards change shifts soon.

You can't leave if you don't go now.

It took much effort to see you.

How can I just leave so easily?

If the government finds you came to break me out of jail,

what would they do?

Go now!

Go!

It's heavily guarded tonight, not a good time to act.

It seems the only chance is on the way to prefectural prison.

I want him to die.

Yes.

Sister, I already asked around.

Tomorrow at 5 in the morning,

Third Brother's prison wagon will leave West Gate for prefectural prison.

That's our only chance.

Who is it?

Go!

Come with me. Hurry!

Release!

Third Brother, how are you feeling?

I know who you are.

I'm about to die.

I hope I can have someone to love

in the next life.

Are you...

Seven years ago, did you kill someone named Xiao Kai Zhen?

Why?

Say something!

You work for Thousand Horses Hall.

Does this have anything to do with Ma Ru Long?

Say something!

Say something!

What's this?

Third Brother! Third Brother!

Tell me, Third Brother! Third Brother!

Brother, it's been seven years.

I finally found the murderer.

But he died in front of me.

It's all right. I have a lead now.

I'll keep investigating anyway.

Who is it?

Why are you here?

Lady Shui, what happened last time was a misunderstanding.

- I want to explain. - No need to explain.

Just leave.

- It really was a misunderstanding. - You shouldn't be in Jiang Mansion.

Lady Shui.

Lady Shui!

Help me untie it.

The firework was a great idea.

I want to ask Young Master for some more advice.

That's it. Move forward.

Your robe is in the way. Do it harder.

What are you doing?

Yun Cheng, it's water for Young Master to wash.

- He already washed. Go away. - Yun Cheng, stop messing around.

Go away.

Go! Go! Go!

I can't let anyone disturb Young Master.

Chang, quiet.

That little rascal.

You little door guard.

Madam Jiang! Why are you here?

Yun Cheng. Don't make a fuss.

You're going to make me deaf.

Madam Jiang.

Don't be so noisy when you work. Don't disturb Young Master.

You're here to...

[Coptis Pills (remove toxins)]

Madam Jiang, do you need to give him something?

I'll take it inside for you.

That's not necessary. Madam Jiang wants to visit Young Master and Lady Shui.

Step aside now.

Madam Jiang, they are probably still asleep.

With Wu Xia there, how can they be still asleep at this hour?

Stand aside.

Yu'er! Yu'er!

You won't visit me if I don't come to see you.

Madam Jiang. Greetings, Madam Jiang.

Wu Xia, did you just wake up?

Yes, I'm a bit tired. I just overslept.

Yu'er, Grandma is here to see you. Why don't you come out?

Yu'er!

Where's Yu'er?

Young Master, he's...

He probably went out to play.

He was busy studying lately.

I gave him some time to relax.

Wu Xia, why do you seem so flustered?

Your forehead is covered in sweat.

Perfect timing, we brought some homemade coptis pills.

It's a nourishing tonic.

You should take one now.

Thank you, Madam Jiang.

Well, I've delivered the tonic.

I'm leaving now. Let's go.

Go safely, Madam Jiang.

Look at the messy state of the blanket.

Why didn't you fold it?

Look at you...
