has caused such a stir in Ningguta,

188
00:08:42,668 --> 00:08:44,269
so of course he had to

189
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,970
send me here to keep an eye on it.

190
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,039
I believe you.

191
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,570
Do you want to see it?

192
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:51,720
No need.

193
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,080
When you make the transaction,

194
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,279
I'll take a look then.

195
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,629
I'm just curious.

196
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,259
Why are you willing

197
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,009
to risk your life this time?

198
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,840
My life is pretty much over.

199
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,450
But I can't let my son

200
00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:06,330
spend his whole life in exile.

201
00:09:08,779 --> 00:09:09,840
I've found a way

202
00:09:10,269 --> 00:09:11,330
to help him escape,

203
00:09:12,549 --> 00:09:14,009
then he can change his name

204
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,600
and find a place to study.

205
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,799
He's already 9 years old now.

206
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,149
He brandishes weapons with me every day,

207
00:09:20,149 --> 00:09:23,350
insisting on going up the mountain
with me to dig ginseng.

208
00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:26,840
It's my fault.

209
00:09:30,789 --> 00:09:31,360
If you can

210
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,090
really get your son out of here,

211
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,059
this deal will be worth it.

212
00:09:36,269 --> 00:09:37,269
Is the channel reliable?

213
00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:37,929
It's solid.

214
00:09:38,549 --> 00:09:39,879
Once that thing is sold,

215
00:09:40,029 --> 00:09:41,559
I won't owe Commander Xu

216
00:09:41,909 --> 00:09:42,789
a single cent.

217
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,320
The rest will be split
between me and Si.

218
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,320
What price do you want to sell it for?

219
00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:48,389
At least

220
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:50,909
100,000.

221
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,299
That's too low.

222
00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:59,360
Mr. Gu,

223
00:09:59,509 --> 00:10:00,250
you're here.

224
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,159
Si.

225
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,399
Had a few drinks. Sorry I'm late.

226
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,320
I was just

227
00:10:04,509 --> 00:10:05,950
discussing with Su.

228
00:10:06,509 --> 00:10:07,200
This thing,

229
00:10:07,870 --> 00:10:09,870
what price do you plan to sell it for?

230
00:10:11,669 --> 00:10:13,070
We can sell it for 80,000,

231
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,440
or 100,000.

232
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,039
Even 800,000 will do.

233
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,360
Four young men from our settlement
have died.

234
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,320
Their parents

235
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:22,080
{\an8}[Exile Liu Si]

236
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,700
are all demanding compensation from us.

237
00:10:24,549 --> 00:10:25,080
Alright,

238
00:10:25,669 --> 00:10:26,799
I'll go talk to them.

239
00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:30,279
Thank you for your trouble.

240
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:34,799
Everyone,

241
00:10:35,769 --> 00:10:37,389
-I'm Gu Pingyuan. My respects.
-Mr. Gu.

242
00:10:37,389 --> 00:10:37,889
Mr. Gu.

243
00:10:38,750 --> 00:10:39,649
We have both

244
00:10:39,789 --> 00:10:41,870
old acquaintances
and new friends here today.

245
00:10:41,870 --> 00:10:44,389
Although it's said that
the roads of the world are open to all,

246
00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:45,490
there's an unshakable law

247
00:10:45,490 --> 00:10:46,620
of the Qing Dynasty:

248
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,600
Han people are not allowed
to enter the borders for even a step.

249
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,860
We're all in a business

250
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,960
that could cost us our heads.

251
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,080
I'm here only to make sure

252
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:55,840
everyone can

253
00:10:55,870 --> 00:10:57,149
get their deal done

254
00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:58,559
and to keep anyone from

255
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,759
being picked apart by the authorities.

256
00:11:00,909 --> 00:11:01,909
Please, go ahead.

257
00:11:06,909 --> 00:11:07,769
Where's Liu Si?

258
00:11:08,509 --> 00:11:10,149
He went home to check on his son.

259
00:11:10,149 --> 00:11:12,080
He said that with you handling things,
Mr. Gu,

260
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,009
he can rest easy.

261
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,759
He really trusts me, huh?

262
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,120
Everyone,

263
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,480
let's start the open bidding.

264
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,879
The highest bidder wins.

265
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,220
10,000, calling once.

266
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,389
50,000.

267
00:11:27,909 --> 00:11:28,509
80,000.

268
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,389
100,000.

269
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,690
190,000 taels.

270
00:11:30,789 --> 00:11:32,200
We haven't even seen the item yet,

271
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,389
and the bidding has already gone
this high.

272
00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:35,269
220,000.

273
00:11:37,629 --> 00:11:38,750
250,000.

274
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,549
270,000.

275
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,600
Who was it?

276
00:11:45,909 --> 00:11:47,039
Who called 270,000?

277
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:48,600
280,000.

278
00:11:51,149 --> 00:11:52,070
290,000.

279
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,590
300,000.

280
00:11:54,370 --> 00:11:55,080
Hey,

281
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,240
your butler hasn't even returned yet.

282
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,769
Do you even have that money?

283
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,940
There's money on the ship.

284
00:12:03,149 --> 00:12:04,610
There's money on the ship?

285
00:12:05,029 --> 00:12:05,549
Kid.

286
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:06,960
Today, I, Old Man,

287
00:12:07,029 --> 00:12:08,269
will teach you a lesson.

288
00:12:08,269 --> 00:12:09,269
Your father sent you out

289
00:12:09,269 --> 00:12:10,360
to gain experience,

290
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,029
not to

291
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,200
come here and cause trouble.

292
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,240
-Stop it.
-Stop fooling around.

293
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:13,750
If your Li family

294
00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:15,080
were serious about doing business,

295
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,360
your father wouldn't have sent you here.

296
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,559
Stop fooling around.

297
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:18,610
Listen to that.

298
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,080
Stop messing around.

299
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:20,940
What nonsense.

300
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:21,610
Alright.

301
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,580
It's yours then.

302
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,200
Thanks then.

303
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,470
These are notes from the Four Major Banks.

304
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:33,750
Please verify them.

305
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,870
Looks solid to me.

306
00:12:41,149 --> 00:12:41,750
You check.

307
00:12:59,470 --> 00:13:00,590
This ginseng doll

308
00:13:01,870 --> 00:13:02,789
is now yours.

309
00:13:04,669 --> 00:13:05,269
Thank you.

310
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,330
Bring out that treasure

311
00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:10,940
and let us have a look too.

312
00:13:10,970 --> 00:13:11,549
Show us.

313
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,820
I want to see it.

314
00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:15,629
Let us have a look.

315
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:18,509
Where's the item?

316
00:13:18,509 --> 00:13:19,639
There's no ginseng.

317
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,240
There's nothing in there.

318
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:21,970
Where is it?

319
00:13:22,669 --> 00:13:23,529
-It's empty.
-What's going on?

320
00:13:23,529 --> 00:13:24,190
It's empty.

321
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,580
There's nothing in it.

322
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,120
Where's the item?

323
00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:27,870
Exactly.

324
00:13:27,870 --> 00:13:29,330
-Where is it?
-Where is it?

325
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,850
How did this happen?

326
00:13:33,450 --> 00:13:34,710
Isn't this a scam?

327
00:13:34,730 --> 00:13:35,269
Exactly.

328
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:36,870
You, Su.

329
00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:40,470
Where's that thing I bought?

330
00:13:42,149 --> 00:13:43,149
Is it on you?

331
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:44,149
Right, right.

332
00:13:44,149 --> 00:13:45,879
-Open up your coat.
-Open it up.

333
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,600
Open up your coat and show us.

334
00:13:59,669 --> 00:14:01,600
I've walked on the edge of the blade

335
00:14:01,649 --> 00:14:03,000
for my entire life,

336
00:14:04,149 --> 00:14:06,149
and I've never uttered a single lie.

337
00:14:06,789 --> 00:14:07,360
Su.

338
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:10,000
Are you sure that when Si left,

339
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,860
that ginseng was still in the box?

340
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,120
I never saw him

341
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,669
take it out of the box.

342
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,889
It must be there.

343
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,919
How could it just disappear?

344
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,559
I really should have checked the almanac
before going out today.

345
00:14:26,769 --> 00:14:27,580
You, Su.

346
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,500
I, Old Man,

347
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,960
have been in this business
for so many years,

348
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,750
and I've never seen anyone as

349
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:32,750
dishonest as you!

350
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,120
All that nonsense about the ginseng doll

351
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:34,909
and the Mountain God—

352
00:14:34,909 --> 00:14:35,750
you guys are just making things up

353
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:37,149
and openly deceiving me!

354
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,529
I didn't take it.

355
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:39,940
If I were to believe you,

356
00:14:39,940 --> 00:14:40,870
once I leave this place,

357
00:14:40,870 --> 00:14:42,269
would you still admit it?

358
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,440
My entire family would end up

359
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,370
having to jump in the river, right?

360
00:14:46,429 --> 00:14:48,139
You liars! So despicable!

361
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,610
They are all cheats!

362
00:14:49,659 --> 00:14:51,990
Ningguta has always been a den of bandits!

363
00:14:52,269 --> 00:14:53,269
Let's go! Come on.

364
00:14:53,509 --> 00:14:54,029
Let's go!

365
00:14:54,029 --> 00:14:54,960
I didn't take it!

366
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,330
Stop! Nobody leave!

367
00:15:01,149 --> 00:15:01,750
Everyone,

368
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,120
I've never told a single lie.

369
00:15:07,669 --> 00:15:09,389
This afternoon I saw with my own eyes

370
00:15:09,389 --> 00:15:10,990
that the item was in this box.

371
00:15:11,269 --> 00:15:13,470
I can't really explain what's going on.

372
00:15:14,029 --> 00:15:14,629
Mr. Gu.

373
00:15:16,509 --> 00:15:17,639

Don't be rash.

Put the knife down.

You and Liu Si,

378
00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:34,399
what exactly are you two planning?

379
00:15:34,909 --> 00:15:36,970
Couldn't you have told me in advance?

380
00:15:37,789 --> 00:15:39,289
How am I supposed to help you now?

381
00:15:39,289 --> 00:15:41,019
That's not how you do business.

382
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,480
I do business.

383
00:15:46,509 --> 00:15:47,870
I do business?

384
00:15:50,389 --> 00:15:52,919
Tell me, what kind of business
am I doing here?

385
00:15:54,149 --> 00:15:55,149
I've ruined

386
00:15:55,149 --> 00:15:56,720
my whole life,

387
00:15:58,149 --> 00:16:00,600
and now my son has no way out either.

388
00:16:01,789 --> 00:16:03,480
I regret it!

389
00:16:06,590 --> 00:16:07,360
Everyone,

390
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:11,149
I'll make sure you all leave here
with peace of mind today.

391
00:16:11,149 --> 00:16:11,750
Mr. Gu.

392
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,029
Trust me.

393
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,529
This... This...

394
00:16:20,149 --> 00:16:21,690
Although the deal fell through,

395
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:22,669
he didn't have to commit suicide, right?

396
00:16:22,669 --> 00:16:23,409
To prove his innocence,

397
00:16:23,409 --> 00:16:24,509
this is too extreme.

398
00:16:24,509 --> 00:16:25,750
What about his child?

399
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,490
It's still a life after all.

400
00:16:30,549 --> 00:16:31,610
Let's go. Let's go.

401
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,370
Let's go.

403
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,639
I promise you,

404
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,809
I will get to the bottom of this.

405
00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:06,009

What about it?

409
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,660
He was just an exiled convict.

410
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:28,589
His death is no more significant

411
00:17:28,589 --> 00:17:29,920
than stepping on an ant.

413
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,509
This is a serious matter.

That condemned official surnamed Su

415
00:17:36,349 --> 00:17:39,400
used to be

418
00:17:44,309 --> 00:17:46,710
Even if he had been ranked up
to the heavens,

419
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,680
in Ningguta, he was nothing
but a notorious convict.

420
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,519
But he was exiled here

421
00:17:52,589 --> 00:17:54,109
after losing a battle in Nanjing.

422
00:17:54,109 --> 00:17:56,720
You never know
when the Emperor might remember him

423
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,410
and reinstate him.

424
00:17:58,789 --> 00:18:00,509
Where would that leave us?

00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,440

to the settlement

00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,000

Greetings, Commander Xu.

Greetings, Your Worship.

431
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,589
What exactly happened?

432
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:17,680
I initially thought

433
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,940
Liu Si was behind this.

434
00:18:19,420 --> 00:18:20,720
Last night, he left in a hurry,

435
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,309
using his son's illness as an excuse.

436
00:18:22,309 --> 00:18:22,940
However,

437
00:18:23,269 --> 00:18:24,670
Su said before he died

438
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,440
that Liu Si never opened the box.

439
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,240
It's possible that before the bidding,

440
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,240
the ginseng had already been taken.

441
00:18:30,509 --> 00:18:32,740
So, in the midst of
all this truth and falsehood,

442
00:18:32,740 --> 00:18:34,920
I can't figure it out
for the time being, either.

443
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,359
It's indeed odd.

444
00:18:37,460 --> 00:18:38,789
I have a task for you.

445
00:18:39,069 --> 00:18:41,730
Magistrate Wang will personally
instruct you.

446
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,309
As you command, Your Worship.

447
00:18:44,309 --> 00:18:45,970
Investigating the whereabouts
of the ginseng

448
00:18:45,970 --> 00:18:47,309
is certainly important,

449
00:18:47,309 --> 00:18:48,789
but the cause of Su's death

450
00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:49,829
cannot be treated carelessly.

451
00:18:49,829 --> 00:18:51,730
It must be convincing.

452
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,640
Moreover, everyone,

453
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,960
from top to bottom,
must have a unified story.

454
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,720
This matter must not jeopardize

455
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,849

Make sure to comfort Su's family properly.

peace and no trouble is the best outcome.

00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,240
Yes.

keep one eye open watching him

467

A mere scholar,

468

unable to lift with his shoulders
or carry with his hands,

469
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,410
yet within dozens of miles around,

470
00:19:37,549 --> 00:19:39,009

is Wantang.

Li Wantang from the capital city.

If he were to be considered
just a small-time merchant,

549
00:22:32,789 --> 00:22:35,549
then there would be no big merchants
in this world.

554
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:46,920
you came with a butler.

Where is your butler?

556
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,309
He had our household matters to attend to.

557
00:22:50,309 --> 00:22:51,109
What matters?

558
00:22:52,349 --> 00:22:53,609
Recently in Ningguta,

559
00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:56,410
all checkpoints and docks
have been sealed off.

560
00:22:56,789 --> 00:22:57,849
How did your butler

561
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:58,960
know something happened

562
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,069
back at home?

563
00:23:00,789 --> 00:23:02,450
Could he be some kind of deity,

564
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,940
able to divine the future?

565
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,569
He's in poor health.

566
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,549
Traveling secretly on a snowy night.

567
00:23:07,549 --> 00:23:09,609
The ancients called this "fleeing."

568
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,309
What serious illness does he have

569
00:23:11,309 --> 00:23:12,710
that allows him to manage

570
00:23:13,109 --> 00:23:14,589
a night escape in the snow?

571
00:23:15,309 --> 00:23:16,549
It's unheard of.

572
00:23:20,589 --> 00:23:22,789
If you dare to leave, I'll dare to shout.

573
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,349
But you have no proof.

574
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,269
What do you want?

575
00:23:35,509 --> 00:23:37,240
Yesterday, your butler

576
00:23:37,589 --> 00:23:39,569
took the opportunity to meet Liu Si

577
00:23:40,029 --> 00:23:42,000
when he went to get money from the ship.

578
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,680
The girls in the brothel said so.

579
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,539
It must be true.

580
00:23:45,789 --> 00:23:47,720
So that's how you do business, huh?

581
00:23:49,349 --> 00:23:50,950
Of course the butler did that

582
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,859
under my father's instructions.

583
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,279
I didn't agree with it, you know.

584
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:58,960
I thought so.

585
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,009
If it were a conspiracy,

586
00:24:01,650 --> 00:24:03,200
why would the butler
leave the master behind

587
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,200
to take the blame?

588
00:24:07,109 --> 00:24:08,039
You don't have to

589
00:24:08,069 --> 00:24:09,789
grieve too much

590
00:24:09,829 --> 00:24:11,200
over your friend Su's death.

591
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,549
Such a precious treasure
as the ginseng doll

592
00:24:13,549 --> 00:24:15,640
should never have been harvested
in the first place.

593
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,750
And it shouldn't have fallen into
their hands.

594
00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:18,829
As the saying goes,

595
00:24:19,029 --> 00:24:21,559
"a gentleman's only crime
is to carry a jade."

596
00:24:21,589 --> 00:24:23,519
His acquisition of such a treasure

597
00:24:23,829 --> 00:24:24,829
was a misfortune,

598
00:24:25,750 --> 00:24:26,609
not a blessing.

599
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,500
♪ The bereaved returns the courtesy ♪

600
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,789
Gu.

601
00:24:56,789 --> 00:24:57,849
When I respect you,

602
00:24:57,950 --> 00:24:59,109
I call you Mr. Gu.

603
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,640
But when I no longer want to respect you,

604
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,269
you're be nothing more than

605
00:25:02,269 --> 00:25:03,640
a dog of Commander Xu.

606
00:25:08,150 --> 00:25:09,000
You dare kick me?

607
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,190
I'll kill you!

608
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,849
You might as well go a bit lower.

609
00:25:15,890 --> 00:25:16,680
Between the third

610

and fourth rib.

611
00:25:19,349 --> 00:25:21,410
That's where the knife was stabbed in

612
00:25:21,509 --> 00:25:22,960
when Su killed himself.

613
00:25:24,069 --> 00:25:25,160
Clean and swift.

614
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:27,680
I don't know how

615
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,880
your heart is formed.

616
00:25:29,109 --> 00:25:30,349
He was such a good man.

617
00:25:31,069 --> 00:25:32,589
How could you bear to betray him?

618
00:25:32,589 --> 00:25:34,119
I didn't do it!

619
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,740
I never took any money!

620
00:25:35,789 --> 00:25:37,400
Say that again, and I'll kill you!

621
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,269
Even when he was dying,

622
00:25:38,269 --> 00:25:39,880
he didn't blame you once.

623
00:25:41,309 --> 00:25:43,109
Didn't you say your son was dead?

624
00:25:44,589 --> 00:25:45,119
Alright,

625
00:25:46,069 --> 00:25:47,160
bring out his body

626
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,420
for me to see right now.

627
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,589
If there is,

628
00:25:50,109 --> 00:25:51,680
you can stab me

629
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,960
as many times as you want.

630
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,200
If I even frown,

631
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:55,720
I'm not a real man.

632
00:25:57,509 --> 00:25:58,170
Do you dare?

633
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,599
I really didn't do it.

634
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,049
Why won't you believe me?

635
00:26:06,309 --> 00:26:07,910
That young heir named Li Qin,

636
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,680
his butler left the city

637
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,880
last night in a hurry,

638
00:26:11,309 --> 00:26:12,839
taking your child with him,

639
00:26:14,109 --> 00:26:14,640
right?

640
00:26:15,769 --> 00:26:16,829
You want to kill me?

641
00:26:18,069 --> 00:26:18,869
It's useless.

642
00:26:20,349 --> 00:26:21,640
You've lost

643
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:22,640
your best friend,

644
00:26:24,349 --> 00:26:26,349
and you've also given up on your son.

645
00:26:29,509 --> 00:26:30,720
At such a young age,

646
00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:33,029
you're making him travel

647
00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:34,509
all the way back to the Central Plains
from this place of exile?

648
00:26:34,509 --> 00:26:36,509
If the authorities want to catch him

649
00:26:36,789 --> 00:26:38,690
or the enemies come looking for him
in the future,

650
00:26:38,690 --> 00:26:40,750
do you think he'll be able to survive?

651
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,299
You didn't even ask for a single penny

652
00:26:46,589 --> 00:26:47,440
and let that butler

653
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,500
take your son away.

654
00:26:48,509 --> 00:26:49,109
Am I right?

655
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,200
Just like you, Su

656
00:26:57,109 --> 00:26:58,640
risked his life

657
00:26:59,349 --> 00:27:00,680
to get the ginseng doll.

658
00:27:01,349 --> 00:27:01,920
He simply wanted

659
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,720
his own son

660
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,579
to return to the Central Plains
as soon as possible.

661
00:27:09,109 --> 00:27:10,509
You're both fathers.

662
00:27:12,049 --> 00:27:13,180
How could your heart

663
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,160
be so cruel?

664
00:27:23,589 --> 00:27:24,240
Alright.

665
00:27:25,789 --> 00:27:26,720

00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,599
being so relentless,

746
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,480
do you hope his hundred or so men

747
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,140
to be buried together with Su?

748
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,069
Su, throughout his life,

749
00:32:10,069 --> 00:32:11,130
was the most loyal.

750
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,369
He cared for his men.

751
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:14,549
If he knew from the afterlife

752
00:32:14,549 --> 00:32:15,589
and saw how you're acting now,

753
00:32:15,589 --> 00:32:17,049
acting purely on emotion,

754
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,410
do you think he would rest in peace?

755
00:32:22,829 --> 00:32:23,690
How about this?

756
00:32:24,750 --> 00:32:26,150
You set some conditions.

757
00:32:27,309 --> 00:32:28,920
If there's anything
I can help you achieve,

758
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,069
I'll definitely do it.

759
00:32:30,069 --> 00:32:30,799
Is that okay?

760
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,690
You're determined to meddle in this,
aren't you?

761
00:32:36,789 --> 00:32:37,319
Yes, I am.

762
00:32:39,509 --> 00:32:41,109
Since we're all in Ningguta,

763
00:32:41,349 --> 00:32:43,009
we're all unfortunate souls.

764
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,200
Please, take a step back.

765
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,859
You must promise me one thing,

766
00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:49,349
and I'll leave immediately.

767
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:50,549
As for Liu Si,

768
00:32:50,549 --> 00:32:52,109
I'll get his body ready for burial

769
00:32:52,109 --> 00:32:53,710
and return it respectfully.

770
00:32:56,109 --> 00:32:56,640
Go ahead.

771
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,150
On the day you leave,

772
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,279
I'll entrust my son's future

773
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,500
to you.

774
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:06,440
You can't let him

775
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,829
stay here for the rest of his life.

776
00:33:07,829 --> 00:33:09,349
Take him out of here with you.

777
00:33:09,349 --> 00:33:11,349
You can have him do anything for you.

778
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:12,700
Anything, really.

779
00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:15,799
Alright.

780
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:18,809
Then make an oath

781
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,359
to put my mind at ease.

782
00:33:33,170 --> 00:33:34,369
I, Gu Pingyuan, swear

783
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,789
that if I ever return to
the Central Plains in this lifetime,

784
00:33:38,789 --> 00:33:41,109
I will definitely take this child with me.

785
00:33:41,109 --> 00:33:43,039
Any food I have will go to him first.

786
00:33:43,829 --> 00:33:44,829
Any clothes I have

787
00:33:45,549 --> 00:33:47,150
will be for him to wear first.

788
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,349
I promise I'll

789
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,000
raise him well to adulthood.

790
00:33:51,269 --> 00:33:52,400
If I break this oath,

791
00:33:52,829 --> 00:33:54,359
may I be struck by lightning

792
00:33:54,549 --> 00:33:55,509
and die young.

793
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,150
Darling!

794
00:34:10,030 --> 00:34:12,630
How could you just die like that?

795
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,760
You didn't even think about me
and our child!

796
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,139
Who gave you permission to get up?

797
00:34:48,630 --> 00:34:50,690
Do you know what mistake you've made?

798
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:52,840
I don't.

799
00:34:53,630 --> 00:34:54,400
You just

800
00:34:55,110 --> 00:34:56,750
took my seal like that

801
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:57,920
and used it casually like a toy.

802
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:58,710
How do you expect me,

803
00:34:58,710 --> 00:35:00,230
the garrison general,

804
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,429
to sleep at night?

805
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,340
I wish to help ease your worries, Sir.

806
00:35:10,699 --> 00:35:12,590
The dead can't be brought back,

807
00:35:13,150 --> 00:35:15,010
but what about that ginseng doll?

808
00:35:15,030 --> 00:35:16,559
Did you bring it back for me?

809
00:35:24,820 --> 00:35:25,760
What?

810
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,510
In broad daylight,

811
00:35:27,989 --> 00:35:29,789
do you think you're that blessed

812
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,920
to get to keep such a precious thing?

813
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,780
I certainly aren't that blessed.

814
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,170
But that doll,

815
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,539
I really don't have it.

816
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,590
I heard from the elders that

817
00:35:39,590 --> 00:35:40,989
it's a spiritual object.

818
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,739
Only the virtuous can possess it.

819
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,389
To sell it,

820
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,250
Liu Si and Su Shuhe

821
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,960
removed the red string tied to it

822
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,150
and the needles on it.

823
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:53,590
It then turned into a spirit

824
00:35:53,590 --> 00:35:54,360
and ran away.

825
00:35:57,690 --> 00:35:58,070
Sir!

826
00:35:58,070 --> 00:35:58,760
Do you even believe it yourself?

827
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,219
Please spare my life, Sir!

828
00:36:00,230 --> 00:36:01,199
I don't know.

829
00:36:01,309 --> 00:36:02,230
Even if you cut off my head,

830
00:36:02,230 --> 00:36:03,489
I still wouldn't know.

831
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:04,630
Please, Sir!

832
00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:05,400
Give me some more time

833
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,800
to investigate thoroughly. I really will.

834
00:36:10,030 --> 00:36:11,710
Do you know who you are?

835
00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:13,510
I'm not human.

836
00:36:14,510 --> 00:36:15,260
I'm a ghost.

837
00:36:15,670 --> 00:36:17,329
You're the Mountain God, Sir.

838
00:36:17,630 --> 00:36:19,159
And I'm your servant ghost.

839
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:27,889
I'm starving.

840
00:36:28,070 --> 00:36:29,110
Go find me food.

841
00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:30,710
Get lost.

842
00:36:38,070 --> 00:36:38,960
Put the carts against the wall

843
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:39,880
after unloading the goods!

844
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,150
Feed the mules in the back!

845
00:36:41,150 --> 00:36:41,590
Got it!

846
00:36:41,590 --> 00:36:42,670
Stack the boxes according to
the "Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow" code.

847
00:36:42,670 --> 00:36:43,670
Don't mix them up!

848
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:44,840
Got it!

849
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,880
Stack them properly.

850
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,800
Check them up.

851
00:36:56,510 --> 00:36:57,760
You've never learned
how to heat a brick bed.

852
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,960
Why do you have to try?

853
00:37:17,230 --> 00:37:18,630
Which of you is Mr. Chang?

854
00:37:22,110 --> 00:37:23,190
I am.

855
00:37:24,190 --> 00:37:25,190
May I have your name, Sir?

856
00:37:25,190 --> 00:37:26,360
I am Gu Pingyuan.

857
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,730
I work for Commander Xu.

858
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,059
I came here for a visit.

859
00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:30,039
Alright.

860
00:37:30,630 --> 00:37:31,630
This way, please.

861
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:45,960
Miss.

862
00:37:47,190 --> 00:37:48,630
The brick bed and the brick stove
are connected.

863
00:37:48,630 --> 00:37:49,510
When you're cooking on the stove,

864
00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:50,550
the room will be warmed up as well.

865
00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:52,550
Careful, the smoke could choke you.

866
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:55,820
Come on in, please.

867
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,079
Have some tea.

868
00:38:10,030 --> 00:38:10,800
What kind of business

869
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:11,760
do you do, Mr. Chang?

870
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:12,840
The New Year is approaching,

871
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,800
yet you went on this trip
with so many people.

872
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,480
I make a living by running the horse gang,
so it's a four-season business.

873
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:18,800
My wife died early.

874
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,280
I had to raise my daughter
while operating the caravans.

875
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,079
As I got older,

876
00:38:22,670 --> 00:38:24,190
I bought a house and some land.

877
00:38:24,190 --> 00:38:25,320
I didn't expect that

878
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,880
since I traveled around my whole life,

879
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,070
I never learned how to manage farms,

880
00:38:28,070 --> 00:38:29,110
and there was a famine.

881
00:38:29,110 --> 00:38:30,630
So I gathered my old employees

882
00:38:30,630 --> 00:38:33,690
to come beyond the pass
to transport some sea salt back.

883
00:38:41,230 --> 00:38:42,550
My creditors are stressing me,
and I think we can make it back

884
00:38:42,550 --> 00:38:44,809
before the New Year
if we push up the pace.

885
00:38:45,230 --> 00:38:46,360
When you're away from home,

886
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,889
you have to rely on friends.

887
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:48,960
Mr. Gu,

888
00:38:49,190 --> 00:38:51,320
any advice or guidance you can give me,

889
00:38:51,590 --> 00:38:53,119
I'd be deeply grateful for.

890
00:38:53,199 --> 00:38:54,840
You're an experienced businessman,
Mr. Chang.

891
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,320
I can hardly offer you
any guidance or advice,

892
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:57,880
and I'm not worthy of being called "Sir."

893
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:58,880
I'm just an exile.

894
00:38:59,590 --> 00:39:01,440
Knowing that I'm literate
and good at accounting,

895
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:02,639
Commander Xu asked me

896
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,599
to help receive the travelling merchants
for him.

897
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,480
Mr. Chang, do you know

898
00:39:08,070 --> 00:39:09,130
what place this is?

899
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,440
Ningguta.

900
00:39:10,710 --> 00:39:11,510
That's right.

901
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:12,550
The exiles

902
00:39:12,710 --> 00:39:14,070
are sent all the way here,

903
00:39:14,070 --> 00:39:16,400
and only by sheer luck could they survive.

904
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:17,480
On the way here,

905
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,440
did you see the settlements outside?

906
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,880
They're all military settlements.

907
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,510
That's where they are assigned.

908
00:39:22,510 --> 00:39:23,730
The strong ones

909
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,440
go hunting in the mountains,

910
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:26,190
hunting wolves,

911
00:39:26,190 --> 00:39:26,880
tigers,

912
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,280
and bears.

913
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,710
Whether they live or die doesn't matter.

914
00:39:30,710 --> 00:39:32,590
What matters is that
the wild animals stay alive,

915
00:39:32,590 --> 00:39:33,519
to be put in cages

916
00:39:33,550 --> 00:39:35,409
and taken to Mulan Hunting Ground

917
00:39:35,510 --> 00:39:36,369
for the Emperor

918
00:39:36,510 --> 00:39:38,440
and princes to hunt.

919
00:39:39,630 --> 00:39:40,980
Others dig for ginseng.

920
00:39:41,190 --> 00:39:43,630
They forage in the mountains
all year round.

921
00:39:43,630 --> 00:39:44,920
With the slightest carelessness,

922
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:45,670
they become

923
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,630
food for wild beasts.

924
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,320
This is truly no place for humans.

925
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,639
But here in Ningguta,

926
00:39:55,070 --> 00:39:57,400
there are people even more cruel than God.

927
00:39:58,590 --> 00:39:59,320
You've got to

928
00:40:00,230 --> 00:40:01,289
show some respect.

929
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,050
Thanks a lot, Mr. Gu.

930
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,610
Miss, did you ask for me?

931

Drop the pleasantries.

932
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,500
Do you know how to build a fire?

933
00:40:26,670 --> 00:40:27,519
See, the logs

934
00:40:27,590 --> 00:40:29,150
should be stacked up like this.

935
00:40:29,150 --> 00:40:30,880
Don't put them over the flames,

936
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:31,760
or there will be

937
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:32,730
a lot of smoke.

938
00:40:34,590 --> 00:40:35,519
Lesson learned.

939
00:40:36,110 --> 00:40:37,440
They wouldn't teach me,

940
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,039
and they often make fun of me.

941
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,280
In less than an hour,

942
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,809
this room will be warmed up.

Are you an official or a soldier?

I'm a convict.

Mr. Li,

955
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,099
is this some sort of exercise?

956
00:41:45,070 --> 00:41:46,519
What exercise?

957
00:41:47,110 --> 00:41:48,340
Give me a hand.

958
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,539
Where are you clothes?

959
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:56,769
I just gambled in there.

960
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,230
A guy tricked me.

961
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,690
I got a pair of tiger heads,

962
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,960
while my match got two bronze hammers.

963
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:03,829
But he insisted

964
00:42:04,030 --> 00:42:06,289
that I lost according to the local rules.

965
00:42:06,710 --> 00:42:07,760
He took all my money

966
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:08,619
and my clothes.

967
00:42:12,190 --> 00:42:12,980
Wait, wait.
