Episode 14 Song Jiang Kills Yan Poxi

Clerk Song

Congratulations, Mr. Song

Ms. Liu kept talking to me

about her

I saw she was alone and lived a hard life

I felt sorry for her

At least she has a place to live now

Mr. Song

Poxi is really a beauty

I am not interested in her beauty

It's just that I'm in a good mood these days

Well, I see that differently

Heroes are attracted to beauties, since always

With that beauty and charm

the lady is quite attractive even in the Capital

not to mention in our Yuncheng County

Don't blame Ms. Liu

It is a blessing you have earned in the previous life

Mr. Song

Come on

I am Yan Poxi. Nice to meet you, Mr. Song

Thanks so much for your kindness

Mr. Song, are you going to sleep fully dressed?

I had nobody to rely on, and lived a hard life

Thanks to you

I have a better life now

I can only repay you with my body

Do I annoy you?

No

It's just that I've always…

Things have come to this point

I'm willing to help you undress

You don't like me

then why did you marry me?

All because Ms. Liu kept egging me on

and I thought, you don't have a family

I was worried…

I am yours now

I should do what a wife should do

I can't let you pity me anymore

Sorry for this

But I made an appointment with a brother tonight

I'll come back to you tomorrow

Sir

Tonight's the wedding night

How could I not be embarrassed if you don't stay?

Tonight

please see me as the brother with whom you had the appointment

Poxi, please get up

I didn't think it through

A spring day when the wind is blowing

The lady is doing her make-up upstairs

With such a pretty face

She has no one with her

She has no one with her

Hubby!

What do you think of my singing?

Good

Then what did I sing?

You sing everything well

I have some official business to do

I'll be back soon

Hubby!

You spend all your time dealing with work

or hanging out with your buddies

leaving me

alone in this room

Well, ask your godmother to come and keep you company

Who cares about that hag?

Mr. Song

You are here

The magistrate sent you to find me, right?

Yes

The magistrate needed you there

Said there was something urgent

Stay for a while and keep her company for me

Me?

I'll be right back

Hubby, hubby!

How about I play and sing a song, my lady?

Who is your lady?

Get out!

What did you say?

I told you to get out!

Who do you think you are?

You were just a street singer

before being sold to Mr. Song for several hundred taels of silver

You're not even a concubine

You…

Get out

An autumn night when the leaves are withering

The lady is removing her make-up

And all the head ornaments

Leaving the red lips untouched

My lady

You still want me to get out of here?

His lordship the magistrate does not feel well

Your case

will be heard in a few days

Leave now

Come on!

Commander Lei

Clerk Song

What are you doing here when we are closed already?

I have an unfinished game of chess with the magistrate

I can't let it go

How can the magistrate be in the mood for that now?

He'll be more than grateful if he could keep his post

I thought you knew Dongxi Village like the back of your hand

And with your capability

capturing Chao Gai should have been a piece of cake

Who would have thought he'd manage to escape?

I don't get it either

Seems that Chao Gai had got the news in advance

Not only was the man not caught

but even the carriage containing the treasure

had also disappeared without a trace

Someone must have leaked the information

Who dared to do so!

Today, evil prevails

Now there is no lack of public officials

colluding with outsiders and playing both sides

I don't know what you mean

In today's world

one always has to have a backup plan

So it's impossible to finish the game of chess

How about I buy you a drink?

Thanks for the treat again

-Shall we? -Please

Birds, birds!

Birds!

Birds!

Would you like to buy a bird, mister?

What are you sighing for?

Because Clerk Song doesn't appreciate such a treasure

What a waste of his manhood

Well, not you

But you have neither money nor official post

You are just living off him

If I relied on you

I would have starved to death ten times or more

Are you even a man?

Just a greedy cat

You've got your treat and now you are talking nonsense

I, Zhang Wenyuan, just have bad luck at the moment

I will surely have a bright future

What is Song Jiang?

Having connections with both the bad guys and the good guys

Secretly communicating with those thieves in Mount Liang

Maybe someday…

What did you say?

How do you know that?

This is a life-and-death matter

Do you have any hard evidence?

No

So what's the point of talking about that?

Mr. Song, I won't stop you, then

See you

Is that Clerk Song?

Who is it?

Mr. Song, you don't remember me?

-How dare you reveal your face here? -Mr. Song

Chao Gai asked me to visit you, his lifesaver

And he sent you a letter

Wait

My goddaughter, you are with a good man now

Look at you all dressed up with pearls and jewelries

You've completely forgotten your godmother

If it weren't for me

you wouldn't have what you have today

I work hard every day

and I don't even have a decent dress

This silk is great for a coat

I will look gorgeous even at my age

When the neighbors see it

I'll tell them it's from you

as I took care of you back then

Godmother

What?

You have rough skin, it'd ruin the silk

You should go back early if there is nothing else

What an ungrateful woman you are, Yan Poxi

If it weren't for my matchmaking

you wouldn't be here today!

You've just had two good days

and now you're turning your back on me?

Godmother, why are you angry?

I can't afford it

if you get sick because of your temper

You only talked about how you took care of me

Yet you forgot how you kicked me out back then

I won't mention it

So don't mention it either

I will say no more because that would seem inappropriate

It's getting late

You should get back and prepare dinner

I am afraid the food here

is not good enough for you

Yan Poxi!

I've experienced a lot in my life

much more than you have

In this world

nothing can escape my eyes

You, and that young man

You've been flirting with each other

Don't you think I don't know that!

Did you just say I have rough skin

and would ruin your silk?

I'm telling you

Clerk Song doesn't dress you up

to hook up with that gigolo!

Put it down right there!

Don't even think about threatening me

I'll be with whomever I want to be with

You are jealous, aren't you?

Mr. Song didn't care, who are you to care?

You wish to have an affair

It's just that no one wants you!

I can be a matchmaker, I can also be a matchbreaker!

Chao Gai was keen to repay the favor

And we miss you every day

Chao Gai asked me to bring you one hundred taels of gold

to thank you for saving his life

Clerk Song, Clerk Song!

Brother, listen to me

I'll keep the letter

As for the gold, I'll only keep one bar as a token of your thanks

You've just settled in the Mount

You could use the money

I don't need to worry about expenses

What you did for us

isn't something that gold can repay, much less so little of it

If you don't accept it

what should I say to Chao Gai?

I went to Dongxi Village back then

because of solidarity among brothers

not for money

If I accepted the money

how can I live with it in the future?

You often save people when they are in danger

That's why you got the nickname "Timely Rain"

which is known to the whole world

Chao Gai wrote it clearly in his letter

This bag of gold is just a small token of your friendship

I won't leave if you don't accept it

Okay, then

Let's say I've taken it

and have temporarily stored it in your place

I will go get it when I need it. What do you say?

Well…

This is not a good place to talk

I'd better not keep you long

Brother, get back as soon as possible

Be careful along the way

Clerk Song!

I've been looking around for you

So you're hiding here

Why are you here?

Clerk Song, listen to me

Take care, brother

Take care, brother. Be careful

Clerk Song, listen to me

Let me ask you something

If Clerk Song were to give me to you tomorrow

are you willing to take me?

Are you willing to take me or no?

It was because of Clerk Song

that I got this post, dealing with paperwork

How could I afford you?

If Clerk Song…

You don't need to worry about it

Just tell me

are you willing to take me or no?

Yes

I feel so sorry

I didn't know that woman well

I only thought she was poor

And now a good man like you

gets cheated on

I deserve to die

You don't believe it?

She is not a wife

whom I married based on my parents' arrangement

I won't bother to get angry because of some rumor

You can leave now

You don't care?

And you don't ask who that person is?

One day you might be killed

without knowing who is the murderer

So who are you talking about?

The young man who follows you all day long

He was inside the room with the woman just now

I saw it with my own eyes

I've never seen such a soft man in my life

Mr. Song, you are back

Sir, I just picked these pears

Big and juicy with thin skin. Try one?

Hubby, you are back

Hubby, why are you leaving already?

I forgot that I still have some business to do

You can't leave

Didn't you come to catch me committing adultery

after hearing the words of Ms. Liu?

If you leave now

I won't get to clear my name

Poxi, don't worry. Get some rest

I won't listen to her stupid words

What if Ms. Liu was telling the truth?

You have to check it this very day

I really have official business to do

Song!

You only care about business and brothers

leaving me alone in this room

I won't let you go today

Song!

People always talk about how kind you are

But why are you so cruel to me?

It's getting dark, Song

How come you still have official business to do

Are you lying to me?

I was thinking you'd come, so I just ordered some wine and dishes

I'll have some drinks with you tonight

It's warm inside, and there's no hurry to go out

I'll help you take off the coat

Let me

Sweet and fresh all year round

Sir

You haven't paid

Commander Lei!

Please get up

Please

-You have something to talk to me? -Yes

This is a letter written by Chao Gai

and one hundred taels of gold

He asked me to bring them here

to thank you for saving his life

Chief Chao and I, we go way back

He is a righteous and good man

How could I catch him?

It was not a favor to be returned

I risked my life carrying it here on the order of my brother

How can I carry it back?

There is not too much gold, but please do accept it

I won't leave if you don't accept it

I have been in the government for over a decade

and I've never seen so much money before

What a thoughtful gesture from Chao Gai

Okay!

I won't refuse today

Tell Chao Gai

if I can be of any use in the future, just let me know

Okay. There's another one hundred taels of gold

Please work with Jizhou Prison

to get Bai Sheng out

Didn't Bai Sheng sell out the seven of you?

Why do you want to save him?

My brother said that we should share happiness and hardship

Bai Sheng didn't have a choice

We can't abandon him

Here

How chivalrous of Chief Chao!

I know several acquaintances in Jizhou

I will do my best

Tell Brother Chao to rest assured

Okay

Then, please take care

I'm leaving

Okay

Be careful on the road. I'll just see you off here

See you

It's closed. Come back tomorrow

Who the hell is knocking?

You old dog

What did you say to Clerk Song?

You've done it and now you are afraid of letting others know it?

What are you doing?

You old bugger!

If you ruin my future

I'll take your life!

I won't…

Whatever you tell him

you take it back!

Otherwise, tomorrow I will come to you again

Thank you, Poxi

I'm a bit sleepy today. I can't drink anymore

Hubby

What did Ms. Liu say to you?

Why didn't you ask me anything?

I don't believe her nonsense

So you believe my words?

Don't mention those gossip again

What Ms. Liu said is true

Since I was sold to you

you take care of my food and clothes

But you forgot that I am a young woman

I spend my days here alone

I feel lonely, day after day

I couldn't help it, and did something wrong

Don't cry

I don't blame you

Yet you don't even blame me

which means, you don't care about me at all

If that's the case

please write the Letter of Divorce

to let me go

So I can find another way out

If that's Zhang Wenyuan's idea

I'll make it easy for you

Wait!

If you really mean it

give all the food, clothing and other things in this room

to me

and never ask them back in the future

I know, you are a kind person

How about going the extra mile?

As you wish

Letter of Divorce

What a heartless man this Song Jiang is

Hubby, don't go

Let me stay with you one more night

I'll surely make you happy

It's late now

Get some rest yourself

Hubby, hubby!

Clerk Song!

Where are you going in the middle of the night?

I was in a hurry to get to the office and misheard the time

Get back and rest now

I'll call you after 3:00 a.m

Don't bother

I won't be bothered

I'm a lonely old man

You always help me

I have no other way to repay you

Right

The other day, I promised

to give you some money for your funeral

I almost forgot

I have a piece of gold with me right now

Take it to make some arrangement for your funeral

Thank you so much

You stay here and wait for me

I'll get it to you

Don't be in a hurry

Mount Liang?

Chao Gai?

Poxi

Didn't you tell me to rest?

Why are you bothering me then?

I left in a hurry just now

and left the pouch here

Did you see it?

Leave me alone!

Give me the pouch

I'll leave right away

When did you give me the pouch?

I put it at the bedside railing just now

with a dagger tied to it

Song Jiang, don't you frame me!

Are you accusing me of stealing it from you?

Poxi, listen to me

I've been treating you well

You want to be with Zhang Wenyuan

and I'll give you the house and all the things inside

What else do you want?

It's you who doesn't want me

I'll give you anything else you want

Sleep with me now

And I'll give it to you. What do you say?

As long as you give me the pouch first

I'll do whatever you want me to do

You think I don't know?

There's a letter Chao Gai wrote to you

where he said he would give you a hundred taels of gold

You work in the government, yet you liaise with thieves!

Lower your voice

What if someone heard it?

I know you have your ways

and you spend money like water

Turns out you are really working with both sides

Tell me, where is the one hundred taels of gold?

To be honest

I didn't take the gold

You're lying to me again

Public officials like you

nobody is clean

They say public officials are just bloodthirsty for money

You didn't take it?

Give me the gold right now

That's easy

Give me that pouch

I'll ask for the gold and bring it to you

I never break my word

Now you're begging me

You think I don't know it?

Tomorrow, if I hand over the letter to the court

your whole clan will face the punishment of extermination

What on earth do you want?

If you want me to return your pouch

just do one thing for me

Eight things, ten things

as long as you say it

I want you to marry me

into your Song's Mansion as your legal wife

How is it possible?

How is it not possible?

Marrying a wife or a concubine must be decided by the parents

I can't decide on my own

I'll do anything else you want

If you don't do that

I will hand it over to the court tomorrow

You…

Okay

Okay, I'll do that

-You agreed? -Yes

You are such a rainmaker in town

Why are you being so nice now?

Give me the pouch now

I'll give it to you when the day comes

What?

As long as I have the letter

I won't be worried that you won't keep your word

Give me the pouch now!

Bring the gold!

A hundred taels!

It's obviously here

You wish!

You bit me?

Slut, give me the pouch right now!

Give it to me!

Song Jiang, be smart

If you want it, you will have to kill me

Are you giving it to me or not?

Your life is in my control

And you are scaring me?

Come on! Try me!

You slut, I'll…

Song Jiang is trying to kill me! Help!

Help!

Poxi?

Clerk Song!

Mr. Song, I was going to see you

What do you want from me?

Mr. Song, what I said about Poxi

don't you take it seriously

The man conspired with Poxi

They want my life

Stop

I killed her

Stop joking, Mr. Song

You are scaring me

I've already killed her

What do you want?

I…

Good, you did good

I'm not saying this for me

That ungrateful bitch should have died long ago

Should have died a long time ago

She is dead already

I won't report to the court if you don't say anything

But when she was alive, she took me as her godmother

Now I have to deal with all the things

I have no money with me

Where are you going?

Leave me alone

Let go of me!

Next on Water Margin

Great!

Even if there is a tiger, I am not afraid

There really is a tiger!
