[A Love Story of Oiled Paper Umbrella]

[Episode 14]

[Court of Judicature and Revision]

Think about it.

This is your life career.

Now that you're leaving,

you must be very reluctant to go.

Master,

how about

we go to the secret passage again

and beg His Majesty?

If we can find the Scroll of Mountains and Seas,

we can make up for our mistakes.

The coachman exposed my identity.

His Majesty sealed

all the entrances to the secret passage.

I'm afraid

he would never want to see me again.

He blocked the secret passage…

Why didn't I think of that?

In the court,

you revealed your background

in public.

You even ate the secret letter.

It turns out

the one who saved you back then

was the Emperor.

Now my identity has been exposed,

this secret passage will only

implicate His Majesty.

It's useless.

His Majesty

is too heartless.

Let’s go.

Nan,

you'll always be our big brother.

We don't want you to leave.

Even if you don't,

he has to leave.

Guo Ji?

He...

Why is he wearing the official uniform?

Sorry.

I forgot to tell you my new identity.

I am the Judicial Director appointed by His Majesty.

Call me Director Guo.

His Majesty

actually appoint you to be the Judicial Director?

If it weren't for your stupid evidence,

Nan Fengyi wouldn't have resigned.

I...

What do you mean by stupid evidence?

Everything I've done

is true to my conscience.

That's why His Majesty entrusted the Court of Judicature and Revision

to me.

As for Nan Fengyi...

No.

I should call you Baize Yi now.

You are the base person

who lied to all the people in our country.

His Majesty didn't punish you for deceiving him.

It's already giving you some leeway.

It turns out that it's His Majesty's idea.

You are not welcome here at the Court of Judicature and Revision.

Get lost.

Get lost?

You're acting like we want to be here.

What you're doing now

is what they say:

"Only dogs look down on others."

You...

What did you say…

Sassy girl!

Who are you calling a dog?

You...

Me…

I was talking about the person who reacted.

Look at you.

Guo Ji,

you are really

a vile person in power.

Do you understand that?

Only dogs look down on others!

Get lost!

Chirp!

Stop!

Today,

if anyone dares to leave the Court of Judicature and Revision,

don't ever dream of coming back!

Pick it up.

You...

Master.

He was wearing an official uniform but not the official hat.

Look at how arrogant Guo Ji was.

-If you didn't stop me… -What do you want for dinner?

Aren't you angry at all?

He said that to make me angry.

If you want others to understand you,

it will only make you suffer more.

Master,

don't you feel wronged

and sad?

You're devoted to protecting His Majesty.

And now,

he has promoted Guo Ji to your place.

Besides,

it wasn't easy to build a group of brothers

who would risk their lives with you,

but in the end, when we left,

they didn't even dare say goodbye.

Are you listening to me?

Yes.

Boss,

how much is the rice?

Six coppers per catty.

I'll have one catty.

Okay.

You're Nan Fengyi,

the Minister of the Court of Judicature and Revision, who was dismissed, right?

Yes.

The descendant of the Baize family

who lost the Scroll of Mountains and Seas!

Take your money and go away!

I won't sell rice

to you, a traitor!

Who are you talking about?

Who are you calling a traitor?

Chirp.

Go away!

Go.

Don't delay my business.

What a bad luck.

This Nan Fengyi

is actually called Baize Yi.

He looks decent.

I didn't know he was such a person!

Who are you pointing at?

His father is a rebel.

He's a rebel, too.

How dare he come out?

Bah!

He's a traitor.

A traitor.

A traitor!

Get lost!

Don't go too far.

You keep calling him a traitor.

But have you ever thought this?

He was still a child

when the Baize family incident happened.

Besides,

he didn't lose the Scroll of Mountains and Seas.

He's a traitor.

As a descendant of the Baize family,

does he have a choice?

Right?

Boss.

Here.

This rice...

We don't want

the rice.

Give me back my money!

Take your stinky money!

Fine.

Let's go, Master.

Get lost!

He's a traitor.

Just leave!

Get lost!

Also,

if he, Nan Fengyi, hadn't risked his life

to solve the Puppet Spirit Case,

all of you

would have been replaced by the Puppet Spirit.

You might even have been eaten alive.

And you even hurled harsh words at him.

Do you have any conscience?

Don't bluff there.

The demons in Changle City

might even be

released from the Scroll of

Mountains and Seas!

Exactly!

Yes, you released it.

You still won't admit it?

Right!

The Scroll of Mountains and Seas contains tens of thousands of demons.

If they were released now,

the winds would have shifted in Changle City long ago.

Look.

You jinx.

You really are a jinx.

So what?

I sold haunted houses.

It's even worse!

Do you know who my father is?

What?

Shut up!

What an unlucky person!

You are not welcome in Changle City.

So unlucky.

Get lost!

The weather is changing.

Let's go home now.

Master.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault.

Blame it on my jinxed mouth.

It's not your fault.

I only have you now.

Let's go.

Let's go home.

Tonight is the Winter Festival.

There must be many activities

on Zhuque Street.

How about

we go out

while Uncle Nan isn't around?

Don't follow me

while going out in the future.

Master,

did what those people said

upset you?

I knew it.

You said you didn't care,

but deep inside,

you still mind it.

I've been practicing

how to deal with

what happened today

many times.

But in your eyes,

there is clearly guilt.

I feel guilty towards you.

In the future,

I can't marry you in glory.

As long as it's you,

it's fine.

What's wrong, Chirp?

Chirp!

What's wrong?

My eyes hurt.

Let me see.

Master.

I...

I can't see clearly.

Open your eyes slowly.

I can see it.

I can see it.

Maybe

I've been fighting against Situ Hanshan for too long

and consumed too much power.

Don't worry, Master.

I can see it now.

You keep saying your eyes hurt.

Let me find you a clinic.

I'm back.

Uncle.

-Uncle Nan. -Yi.

Yi.

Uncle,

you're back.

Uncle Nan, you're finally back.

You brat.

I've just left for a little while,

and yet you've exposed

our secret that we've been keeping

for a lifetime.

I'm sorry.

I failed to keep our secret.

Uncle.

Uncle Nan, don't blame him.

It was His Majesty…

I'm happy.

All these years,

I've always been worried that this secret

would get Yi and me executed.

Uncle.

Yaoniang,

I've been celibate

all these years.

I can finally

face you

with my innocence

and my real identity.

You two…

Don't you have

anything else to do tonight?

No.

Yes.

Didn't we agree

to celebrate the Winter Festival tonight?

Did we?

Uncle Nan.

When do you want us to come back?

Anyway, don't

come back too early.

Let's go.

Do your best.

Look.

There are so many people from Xizhou.

Tonight is the Winter Festival.

Why do I feel

there are more people than during the New Year?

Of course.

Before the Puppet Spirit case was solved,

people of Changle City

were stuck at home for so long!

Tonight,

everyone can finally celebrate the festival.

So,

whether those who have a partner or those who don't

all came out to join the fun.

By the way,

it is said that

the Emperor, the Empress,

and the Crown Prince

will be enjoying the joy with people

at Lizheng City Tower.

In my opinion,

we don't need to wear masks.

Changle City is so big.

No one will recognize you.

I used to work around here.

All these merchants know me.

It's better to be cautious.

We're already out to have fun.

Why are you still unhappy?

I'm very happy.

You can't see it because I'm wearing a mask.

Don't think I can't see it because of the mask.

Your face and eyes

are written all over

with unhappiness.

Cheer up.

The lip balm from Xizhou.

The same lip balm used by the performers of the Tianji Troupe.

If you love her,

give her our latest

maroon lip balm.

I heard that the Tianji Troupe from Xizhou

is the top performance group in the world.

The lip balm they use

must be the most beautiful.

Maroon!

It's really maroon!

It's from Xizhou.

It's the most fashionable color of lip balm!

I'll have it.

Give me one.

Me too.

Master.

This is maroon lip balm.

I want it, too.

Your old lip balm isn't used up, is it?

You don't understand,

but girls

are always in need of new lip balm of the latest color.

Just one.

If you love her,

give her maroon lip balm.

Look.

You heard what she said.

If you don't buy it,

it means you don't love me.

You don't love me…

I'll buy it for you.

Ma'am,

I'll buy one.

Thank you.

Thank you, Master.

Looks good.

I'm sorry.

Uncle Nan?

Put it on for me.

How is it?

It looks good.

♫The leaves turn yellow as the weather cools♫

♫The clouds half-cover the moonlight♫

♫Cooking smoke rises, leaving a lingering fragrance♫

♫I offer my love in exchange for appreciating the morning frost with you♫

♫How can I contain this fluttering heart?♫

Master, you're good-looking, too.

illusionary technique performance by the Tianji Troupe.

There seems to be a performance over there.

-Anyone who wears maroon lip balm… -I want to see it.

is allowed to watch the once-in-a-century

illusionary technique performance by the Tianji Troupe.

You...

You say it.

Your Highness.

Her Majesty sent someone to urge you.

She hopes you can go to Lizheng City Tower

with His Majesty

and enjoy

the performance of the Tianji Troupe from Xizhou.

This Xizhou

is different from that Xizhou.

I'm not going.

It's not good.

You'll be alone…

In my opinion,

it's okay if he doesn't want to go.

Our Crown Prince

is alone.

It's not good.

I want to immerse myself in my painting.

I will meet my happiness.

You may leave.

Yes. Yes.

Goddess,

you and Nan Fengyi are together.

You must be happy.

You should be happy, too.

Me?

Don't worry about me.

I'm the Crown Prince.

Of course, I can find happiness in my own life.

Anyone who wears maroon lip balm

is allowed to watch the once-in-a-century

illusionary technique performance by the Tianji Troupe.

If we don't have the lip balm,

can't we watch it?

The effect will be greatly reduced.

What exactly is Xizhou's

illusionary technique?

I know that.

It

is just

just some sleight of hand and tricks.

Master,

when I was seven,

I was brought to Changle by Uncle Wu.

I haven't seen any performance since.

How about

you take me to watch the performance?

Sure.

But there are so many people ahead.

Can we make it?

Well…

I queued up to buy you this lip balm.

See if you like it.

This is maroon lip balm, the most popular in Changle City.

Look.

I

don't have a wife,

and you don't have a husband.

Should our relationship

go further?

Honey.

Apply the maroon lip balm on me.

Okay, honey.

What?

It seems that since ancient times,

there are always many people

as long as it's a festival.

Yes.

So,

you have to follow me closely,

or you'll get lost.

The maroon lip balm is so beautiful.

Put it on.

Good performance.

Master,

you're so much taller than me.

You should be able to see

the performance of the troupe, right?

Yes,

but

I can't understand it

or hear it clearly.

Looks like your lip balm is wasted.

You can't see the stage,

let alone the illusionary technique.

I can only ask you

to help me think of a way.

Come on.

It's raining.

What a big umbrella!

What a big umbrella, Master.

Amazing!

Amazing!

So beautiful.

So beautiful.

Look.

So beautiful.

This umbrella is conjured by the illusionary technique.

Look!

It's that again.

This cloud

is the smoke from the illusionary technique

performance earlier,

which turned into colorful hues,

and will soon dissipate.

Looks like there's

something wrong with it.

What's wrong?

My eyes

hurt.

It seems

you should take a good rest.

[Celestial Master's Mansion]

It's just a baby tooth.

What's the point to keep it?

[Book of Demon Slaying]

The Qi Sword

was forged by the bones of the ancient Demon Queen.

The Scroll of Mountains and Seas

was transformed from his flesh and blood.

Then, my father's Qi Sword

and the Scroll of Mountains and Seas

are both turned by the body of the ancient Demon Queen.

Could it be...

the trembling of the Qi Sword

indicates the reappearance of the Scroll of Mountains and Seas?

It's a premium house.

a third-rate price,

A first-class house.

The dream of living in Chang'an

will be protected by Uncle Wu's Agency.

The Jiao Yanlong residence is

eleven paces long from east to west

and nine paces from north to south,

with four rooms inside,

priced at 400,000 coins.

No, thanks.

Take a look.

Thank you.

The price is 400,000 coins.

Father.

Who would buy a house

in the middle of the night?

In my opinion,

it's better to go back to sleep.

Why are we suddenly

not allowed to sell the talisman

approved by the Court of Judicature and Revision?

That's easy.

The Nan Fengyi that Chirp likes

has resigned.

The new Director of the Court of Judicature and Revision

doesn't recognize us anymore.

Who would have thought

he'd be the descendant of the Baize family?

Father,

are you going to stop him

from being with Chirp?

He…

His reputation is really bad now.

I'm worried that

our Chirp will suffer if she's with him.

Not necessarily.

But he's the only man

whom Chirp likes

and isn't turned down by.

You...

You're right.

Chirp is like my daughter.

We need to care about her feelings.

Money and fame are worldly possessions.

In life,

happy experiences are the most important.

Let's make more money

and let Nan Fengyi marry into our family.

That way, you'll have a son.

This deal

will not be a loss for us.

From which book did you read this?

You really convinced me.

Let's go.

Home.

Demon!

Run!

Demon!

Monster!

Run!

Where is the monster?

Where is the monster?

Run!

Brother.

Where is the monster?

Strange.

What demon is this?

I’ve never seen such a demon before.

Master Du,

you said this monster is a demon.

Little girl,

why aren't you afraid at all?

It didn't seem to want to hurt me

but to run away.

Look at its eyes.

They're full of fear.

You're curious about everything.

[Nan's Umbrella Shop]

Recently,

you've always said your eyes hurt.

So, I specifically learned how to make the eye-strengthening medicine soup

from the ancient medical books and made it.

Do you want to try it?

But I haven't had my brunch yet.

According to the ancient medical book,

it's more effective if you drink it

with an empty stomach.

It stinks.

I don't want it.

It just smells bad.

It tastes good.

Really?

Of course.

Let me show you.

How is it?

It's so delicious.

This tastes better than wine.

It tastes better than wine?

Of course.

Master.

You lied to me.

You lied to me.

Didn't you say

you're not afraid of bitter medicine?

I...

Maybe it's because the days are too sweet now.

I'm gradually starting

to fear the bitterness.

You've changed.

Master, you've changed, too.

Brother.

Brother, something happened.

[Court of Judicature and Revision]

Did I hear it right?

Last night, Ms. Wang died in Zhang Sanlang's house.

Zhang Sanlang went missing.

But the Court of Judicature and Revision

arrested our Uncle Nan overnight?

Why?

Suspected footprints of Uncle Nan were found at the scene.

We also found Uncle Nan,

who was wandering through the nearby alley.

Uncle Nan

is close with Ms. Wang.

And Zhang Sanlang and Ms. Wang had an affair.

I'm afraid Uncle Nan accidentally

walked in on their affair last night.

You're so annoying.

Nan Sixu!

-Nan. -What are you doing?

-What are you doing here? -Who let you in?

Nan Sixu!

Let him go!

Let him go!

Murder!

He must have killed them in a fit of anger,

disposed of Zhang Sanlang's body,

and staged the scene to make it look like he fled out of fear of punishment.

Uncle does have feelings for Ms. Wang,

but he wouldn't go so far as to kill somebody out of jealousy.

He's very timid.

He didn't even dare to kill the fish.

Besides,

Ms. Wang runs a martial club.

She wouldn't have been killed

by a weak man like Uncle Nan.

To be honest,

I don't believe it, either.

However…

Uncle.

Uncle.

Uncle Nan.

Uncle.

Uncle Nan.

Zhang Sanlang.

Give me back my Yaoniang!

Uncle!

Give me back my Yaoniang!

Uncle Nan.

He's not Zhang Sanlang.

He's Nan Fengyi.

Nan Fengyi.

Yi.

Yaoniang?

Yaoniang.

Uncle.

Are you okay?

Yaoniang. Yaoniang.

Why are you with Zhang Sanlang?

Tell me,

how is he better than me?

You're trying to kill me there!

Uncle Nan.

I'm Chirp.

Do you recognize me?

I'll kill you!

Uncle!

I'll kill you!

Uncle!

Kill you…

Kill…

Kill…

Kill you…

I'll kill you.

I'll kill you…

Kill you.

Kill…

How did this happen?

When we saw Uncle Nan at dawn today,

he was already crazy like this.

He seemed to be shocked and scared by something.

He talked nonsense.

Have you consulted the physician?

Many famous doctors came.

They all said Uncle Nan lost his soul.

Unless...

someone knows how to perform the 13 Needles of Ghost Sect.

Otherwise, Uncle Nan's illness...

can't be cured.

13 Needles of Ghost Sect?

What is that?

It's a magic that has been lost for hundreds of years.

It specializes in treating possession and hysteria.

Hundreds of years?

Then, in this world,

no one can cure Uncle Nan?

This is not the most urgent matter.

The new Director of the Court of Judicature and Revision

is going to convict Uncle Nan.

I called you here

in the hope that you can find a way

before the conviction.

My uncle can't even recognize people now.

How can his testimony be accepted as evidence?

Exactly.

Exactly!

He said he wanted to kill someone.

It's different from killing someone for real.

Yaoniang.

It's possible

that Zhang Sanlang did it himself.

He envied the relationship between Ms. Wang and Uncle Nan.

Then,

he tricked Ms. Wang into going to his place and killed her.

In the end,

he fled to escape punishment.

That's possible.

Escape punishment?

That way, he should've at least brought some money for the journey, right?

Zhang Sanlang has a habit of keeping accounts every day.

He even wrote down how much money was left

after buying dinner last night.

And it matches the amount of silver

we found in his house.

And the clothes, shoes, and caps in his closet

are all there.

It didn't look like he was running away.

The most crucial point is that

yesterday, his family and neighbors

saw the clothes he wore.

They matched the scraps of cloth

found in his house.

If he fled to escape punishment,

he can't run away naked.

What about the footprints?

The suspected footprints you mentioned

are not just footprints, right?

Changle City is so big.

There should be many people

who wear the same size of shoes as my uncle.

It rained last night.

Louyi Alley is very muddy.

Our men looked carefully.

No trace of Zhang Sanlang leaving was found.

Only the footprints of a person with uneven steps were found.

Look at Uncle Nan's feet.

They must have been injured last night.

And this.

Brother.

The damaged area on Uncle Nan's pants and the shred

are consistent in terms of the material.

The footprints

and the cloth

all prove it was him.

This only means

Uncle

did appear in Zhang Sanlang's house last night.

Besides,

he was also injured.

Now, the Court of Judicature and Revision believes

Uncle Nan killed Ms. Wang and Zhang Sanlang

and then destroyed Zhang Sanlang's body.

Only based on these?

Have you found the weapon?

Have you found Zhang Sanlang's body?

No.

But there were indeed injuries on Ms. Wang's body.

Then...

Nan,

what should we do now?

-Autopsy. -Autopsy.
