[Episode 9]

[Yicheng County]

- Zhan, is this where Zhi Hua ambushed you?
- Yes.

He searched Liu's house,

and didn't find what he wanted,

but he did find the letters between Liu and me.

So he lay in wait,

setting a trap here.

This place has already been searched.

Can we still find any clues?

There's nothing left here,

but Liu Hong Yi's case wouldn't have
just appeared for no reason.

If someone reported the crime,

and the case hasn't been solved yet,

then the victim will surely come back for news.

Exactly.

Once we find the victim,

we can find out how this case started.

There are two shifty-looking watchdogs
stationed at the Liu residence.

They're likely waiting for
the victim to show up too.

Those two idiots gave themselves away long ago.

Still trying to stake it out?

Vegetable sellers only stay
at the alley entrance.

Who wanders around from inside the alley?

Let's wait and see.

See if the victim shows up.

Alright.

I'll go keep watch.

Relieve me in a few hours.

Enjoy your meal, sir.

Anything unusual?

Be patient.

They're still there.

It means they haven't found the victim either.

Let's wait a bit longer.

That peddler has been walking back and forth.

He just paces without calling out.

How can he sell anything like that?

Could he be from the magistrate's office?

He's not.

Wake up.

It's him again.

Let's go, take a look.

Come and have a look!

Folks, I'd like to ask you something.

Have you heard of a scholar named
Liu living on this street?

How are you related to him?
Why are you looking for him?

Our relationship is quite complex.

He is my cousin's husband's...

cousin's son's aunt's brother.

I heard he struck it rich
and moved to this town two years ago.

I came all this way
just to ask him for a favor.

My cousin's husband's cousin is in trouble.

His face is covered in a rash.
It's quite terrifying!

I'm worried if he isn't treated,
he won't be able to leave the house.

- The rash is all over his face--
- Move along, move along!

Stop causing trouble here, okay?

You could just say you don't know.

Why are you shooing me away?

Where did he go?

Who are you?

The magistrate's men have spotted you already.

You'll be arrested if you go back.

Are you looking for Officer Liu?

How did you know?

This jade pendant...

It belongs to Liu.

Yes.

Officer Liu said if anything happened to him,

I should keep this pendant with me.

Someone would recognize it and come to meet me.

So you are... Lord Zhan?

I am Zhan Zhao.

I serve at Kaifeng Prefecture.

I am Liu's sworn brother.

Lord Zhan!

My sister has been missing for days.

Officer Liu was helping me search for her,

but then he met with a tragic end.

His death is truly suspicious.

Please Lord Zhan...

get justice for Officer Liu and my sister!

This is no place to talk.

Maybe we should go inside.

Come on.

So you're not a peddler,

but a scholar.

But why are you living here?

I used to live in a house on Xinghua Street.

After Constable Liu's incident,

the bailiffs sealed off my house.

Fortunately, I wasn't home at the time.

So I escaped a disaster.

Are you writing a petition?

Yes.

Constable Liu was implicated
because of my sister and me.

I can't let him die without getting justice.

I'm going to report this to the court office.

Clear his name.

I didn't expect a scholar like you
to be so courageous.

You're thinking about others
when your own life is at risk.

What is your name?

My name is Fan Zhong Yu.

[Fan Zhong Yu]
My parents died when I was young.

My sister, Yu Lian, and I have only each other.

Fan.

About Yu Lian's case,

please tell me in detail.

After I passed the imperial exam,

Yu Lian was very happy for me.

In order to save enough money for me
to study at Xiangyang Academy,

she quit her job
at the Yicheng Embroidery Shop,

and started embroidering at home.

She said the embroidery shops in Xiangyang
paid a higher price.

So, she often went to Xiangyang
to sell her patterns.

Brother, I'm leaving now.

The prices at the Xiangyang shops
have gone up again.

Wait, Yu Lian!

I don't necessarily have to
go to Xiangyang Academy.

But I want you to go.

When you pass the high exam,
I'll enjoy a good life.

I'm off, Brother!

About two months ago,

after Yu Lian went to Xiangyang,

she never came back.

After searching in Xiangyang for three days,

I reported it to the county magistrate,
but there was never any news.

I went back to ask several times,
but they said they hadn't found her.

Later on, they got annoyed
by my constant asking.

They kicked me out and even beat me up!

They wouldn't help
and even beat the person reporting.

What kind of justice is that?

They warned me.

That if I wanted to live...

I should stop pestering the magistrate.

That day, they beat me half to death.

It was Constable Liu who intervened
and saved me,

and treated my wounds.

After learning the whole story,

Constable Liu said he would take the case.

He would help me find Yu Lian.

Liu Hong Yi...

he had just been transferred to Yicheng County.

I suppose he could no longer tolerate
the actions of the Yicheng County Magistrate.

Otherwise, as a mere constable...

he wouldn't have taken this case
without authorization.

Constable Liu told me not to count
on the Yicheng Magistrate.

He said he would give me justice.

About ten days later,

he said he had a lead on Yu Lian's whereabouts.

But he said the case was very dangerous.

He asked a friend from Kaifeng Prefecture
to come and help.

He told me to wait for news at home,

and warned me not to go looking for him.

He also told me not to tell anyone
that I knew him.

Later on...

my... my house was sealed off.

Lord Zhan, I was afraid you wouldn't find me,

so I disguised myself as a peddler
to keep watch near Constable Liu's house.

Are those all he said?

He didn't give you any other clues?

At the time...

I was so worried about my sister's safety
that I wanted to ask more questions.

But Constable Liu said for my own safety,

he couldn't say too much.

In the letter he sent me,

he only mentioned...

there was a major case in Xiangzhou
that needed my help.

He didn't mention anything else.

He was afraid the letter might fall into
the wrong hands and put you in danger.

Constable Liu was dragged into this
because of my sister and me.

That is why he was murdered.

I have truly failed him.

Fan.

Do not blame yourself.

Liu was a man of the law.

His lifelong ideal

was to seek justice for the people.

He would never regret taking this case.

Now, if we want to avenge him,

the only way

is to finish the investigation for him,

and find your sister's whereabouts.

Fan, you just said...

Yu Lian went to Xiangyang

to sell her embroidery.

Did you ever search the
embroidery shops in Xiangyang?

I have searched every embroidery shop.

But they all said they hadn't seen her.

Could something have happened
on the way to Xiangyang?

It is hard to say.

Fan, which embroidery shop did
Yu Lian frequent most?

It's called Ruzhen Embroidery Shop.

Because that shop offered the highest prices,

Yu Lian went there often.

But I went there to ask several times,

and they were very impatient with me.

They told me to stop disturbing their business.

Let's set off.

Go investigate Ruzhen Embroidery Shop.

I will go with you. I can lead the way.

Alright.

- But...
- No buts.

I will look after him.

You focus on the case.

Can you describe Yu Lian's appearance?
It will make it easier to find her.

[Xiangyang City]

This way.

[Ruzhen Embroidery Shop]
This is Ruzhen Embroidery Shop.

When I first came,

they just said they hadn't seen Yu Lian.

They told me to leave at once.

When I came back a second time,

I saw a small door behind the counter
that leads to the backyard.

I asked if I could take a look at the backyard.

But the shopkeeper suddenly
got violent and punched me.

Then he had me thrown out.

Don't worry.

I'll definitely return that punch for you.

But when the three of us go in later,
you don't have to follow us.

You've been here twice.
They'll be on guard the moment they see you.

It'll make things difficult for us.

Two grown men entering an embroidery shop
is too conspicuous.

I should be the one to go.

Young Mistress, have you ever been to one?

Oh? As if you have?

I have my ways.

Stop fanning.

[Ruzhen Embroidery Shop]

Shopkeeper!

Bring out all your best

silk threads and embroidery!

What are you dazed for?

Hurry up and bring out our finest goods!

Sir, please wait a moment.

- I'll go get you some tea.
- No need.

My Lord doesn't consume
random things from outside.

May I ask,

are these for your own home,

or are they a gift?

What kind of question is that?

Would I come in person
to buy things for the house?

It's a gift, of course.

I heard your shop is very popular.

All the top courtesans in town
love to buy from you.

Whatever is currently in style depends
on your shop's trends.

Is that so?

Oh, sir.

You've come to the right person.

I'm not boasting here.

Last month, two courtesans fought over a set
of orchid-patterned bed curtains from my shop.

Just look at the price they bid!

It went up seven or eightfold!

But I wonder which lady is lucky enough...

to have caught your eye?

Qiu Chan.

Qiu Chan...

Miss Qiu Chan from Fenglai Pavilion?

She has bought things from you before?

Of course she has.

That's Miss Qiu Chan!

Though she isn't the top courtesan,

she is still quite famous.

Lately, she's been gaining some many admirers.

You have excellent taste, sir.

Fine. Then tell me,
what kind of fabric does she like?

What style does she prefer?

Well, Miss Qiu Chan...

She has exquisite taste, naturally.

What she likes can only be found
among our shop's

finest embroidered goods
and high-quality silk threads.

You're quite sly.

Since I don't usually visit embroidery shops,

you're trying to fool me
with these inferior goods, aren't you?

Sir, I wouldn't dare!

- These are all our finest goods!
- Finest goods?

Let me tell you,

I've seen plenty of a lady's belongings.

Inferior.

Inferior.

Too inferior!

With this kind of junk in your shop,

how dare you say Miss Qiu Chan visits often?

Move aside! I'll look for myself.

Sir, please, I wouldn't dare deceive you!

Inferior.

Inferior, inferior, inferior!

- Qiu Chan...
- What kind of fabric is this?

- Could he really be a regular at brothels?
- This patten is out of date.

- I'll have to interrogate him later.
- Who would even like this?

This is just too poor.

- Sir!
- Inferior! Inferior!

Why are you following me so closely?

Afraid I can't afford it?

No, sir.

These are all our finest goods.

Even if you don't like them, don't ruin them.

Ruin them?

You two.

What are you just standing there for?

Pick them up with him.

I'll buy everything on the floor.

Take them as my grant.

- Thank you for the grant, My Lord.
- Thank you for the grant, My Lord.

All of them!

Oh my! Sir, you really have a good eye!

- You two, come and help pick them up.
- Shopkeeper, let me do it.

Wonderful.

- This one!
- Look, this one is nice!

- This one is quite pretty.
- Sir!

- How much is this one?
- That's our backyard!

Sir.

Shopkeeper.

I see you have several more rooms further in.

Are all the good goods hidden inside?

How could you say that?

We are open for business.

How could we hide the good goods?

Inside there is just the workshop.

The embroideresses usually work in there.

That's perfect. I'll go in and have a look.

If there's anything good,
I'll buy it immediately.

Please do not.

Inside there are usually only women.

They eat and live in there.

If you go in,
I'm afraid it would be inappropriate.

- Why are you so stubborn?
- My Lord! My Lord, look.

I just picked this one out.

It has two peach blossoms on it.

Does it look good?

Not bad.

To be able to pick out such a fine piece
from that pile of junk...

You're quite something.

No wonder you could coax that girl
into being your sweetheart.

Alright, girl. Go with the shopkeeper
to settle the bill.

Sure thing!

My Lord, you have the money.

This way, shopkeeper.

After you. Please.

My Lord, please.

Fan, you were right.

There is indeed something
wrong with that backyard.

The shopkeeper is definitely suspicious.

The backyard was so quiet.
How could anyone be living there?

Why did you stop me just now?

It would've been better to just
burst in and take a look.

If you had forced your way in,

you would have alerted the enemy.

We'll take the chance
to investigate further tonight.

Fan.

Don't be so anxious.

Since you've already deduced what happened
to Yu Lian, don't keep it from him.

He'll have to find out sooner or later.

Fan.

Based on my deduction,

that embroidery shop is most likely

using the pretense of buying embroidery
at high prices to lure girls there.

Afterward, they trick them
into the backyard workshop...

to sell them off.

Sell them?

Fan, don't worry.

We will do everything we can to rescue her.

In broad daylight,
kidnapping women for brothels?

How audacious.

The backyard was paved with stone,
yet it had subsided so severely.

They must have dug a tunnel.

The girls are sent to the brothel
through a secret passage.

It's completely undetected.

The terrain in Xiangyang
consists mostly of sandy soil.

With this kind of soil,

if a tunnel is dug haphazardly,
it will easily collapse.

I suspect the end of that tunnel...

must be very close to the courtyard.

There's Yulin Alley not far from here.

There's a brothel there
called Fenglai Pavilion.

How do you know that?

I saw it when we went to get our gear
this morning.

Tonight, we'll split into two groups.

One to the embroidery shop,

and the other to Fenglai Pavilion.

I'll go to Fenglai Pavilion.

You're going to a brothel? Can you handle it?

If I can't, do you think you two can?

Anyone can tell that you're a woman
disguised as a man.

Does Zhan look like a patron?

I'm suave and charming.

Getting girls to talk is what I'm best at.

Sir, come in!

Sir, come have a look!

Sir!

Hey, there.

Come in and sit for a while.

[Fenglai Pavilion]
Don't just stand there, sir.

Come in for a cup of tea, sir.

That's right.

Sir.

Come inside and sit.

Lai Fu, hurry!

Sir, please come in.

This way.

This way, please.

Sir, is there a lady you're familiar with?

Call Qiu Chan for me.

Qiu... Qiu Chan?

She's no longer here?

She's here, she's here!
I'll go call her for you right away.

I can't believe someone actually
prefers the old and faded ones.

Sir, Qiu Chan is here.

In recent years,

few guests have asked for
my company for drinks.

Sir.

A toast to you.

Why didn't you save money to redeem yourself?

I was young and foolish, and got cheated.

I ended up losing both my heart and money.

How much is your redemption fee?

Sir.

Have we met before?

What?

Do I look familiar?

I feel like I've seen you somewhere.

Master Hua is here!

Master Hua, you've arrived!

Master Hua is here!

Haven't seen you for days. Why?

Were you busy tending to
that little widow on Qipan Street?

[Hua Chong]
Did she finally give in to you?

What do you mean 'tending to'?

I was there to settle things for her!

- Drink up!
- All right!

Who were you looking for all this time?

Who was I looking for?

So you just kept waiting for me, right?

Yes, Master Hua.

Please, have a seat.

Master Hua, please sit.

Master Hua, have some tea.

Master Hua, you haven't been here
for so long. Where have you been?

Did you go off to some house
to snatch another bride?

Well... You all can leave now.

Oh please, Master Hua.

Get out! I suddenly feel unwell.

What's wrong with him?

Who knows? He wasn't like this before.

Master Bai! Please!
I'll never do it again! Never!

With a face like yours,
how dare you call yourself handsome?

If I catch you harassing women again,

it won't be just a beating.

- Do you hear me?
- I hear you! I hear you!

Master Bai.

Sit, please.

Master Bai, what are your orders?

I don't know if it's because
you're thick-skinned,

but your face healed quite fast.

Master Bai. I've been staying
in the brothels lately.

I haven't harassed a single girl. Truly.

You were shouting so loudly just now.

Do you think I'm deaf?

Hand over all the money you have.

Hurry up!

Take it.

It's for your redemption.

No need to thank me.

Go.

Still looking?

If anything happens to her,

I'll gouge your eyes out.

Master Bai, don't be angry.

Come on, let's drink.

Why did you come to Xiangyang?

You think I wouldn't chase you down here?

So you're here to mess around?

Look at what you're saying.
How am I messing around?

I have a friend who opened a shop in Xiangyang.

I came to recover and help him out.

A shop?

Is it a business of murder and robbery?

Ugh! How could that be?

I wouldn't dare.

Sit!

Look at your face.

What are you afraid of?

I'm just inviting you
over for a drink as a friend.

No big deal.

Look at me being silly!

I thought Master Bai
never visited places like this.

Turns out you're more of a player than me.

You gave so much money just like that.

You've outdone me...

But Master Bai, if you're going to splurge,
pick someone young.

This Fenglai Pavilion was the most popular
brothel in Xiangyang over a decade ago.

But it's no good now.

When it comes to these things,
you aren't one to settle for less.

Why did you choose this place?

You get me.

When it comes to Xiangyang...

honestly, it can't compare to Jiangnan.

I'm just...

making do.

Why are the Hanshui Palace people
with Shao Ji Zu?

His Lordship really has foresight.

But Zhan Zhao still managed to escape.

That night, someone brought a command token

to the Dali Court to secure
Zhan Zhao's release.

What?

Prince Hui brought Bai Yu Tang
to report to His Majesty.

He said, "Zhan Zhao's enemies would seek
revenge in the Dali Court's prison."

His Majesty felt that...

since Zhan Zhao has served
the court for many years,

and has many achievements to his name,

he ordered Prince Hui to take the token
to the Dali Court,

and transferred Zhan Zhao
to the Imperial Prison.

But who would have thought,

that Bai Yu Tang would steal the token midway,

and work with Zhan Zhao
from the inside to flee the capital?

His Majesty clearly let Zhan Zhao go
on purpose.

After that, His Majesty went with the flow.

He said, "Since Prince Hui believed rumors
and let Zhan Zhao escape,

he should redeem himself through service,

and take over from Cheng Hao
to investigate the cases involving Zhan Zhao."

After Prince Hui became the presiding judge,

he first released the rumor-mongers,

which calmed the public's anger.

Then he interrogated the jailer...

sent from Yicheng County.

He concluded that the facts of
the murder case against Zhan Zhao were unclear.

It was too early to convict him.

Then, he announced to the public that
Zhan Zhao would be pursued,

and the trial would resume once caught.

Prince Hui will surely make excuses
to delay issuing the arrest warrant.

Correct.

Cheng Hao urged him several times.

It wasn't until today that Prince Hui
finally issued the arrest warrant.

I'm afraid that by the time it reaches us,

Zhan Zhao will have already
turned Xiangyang upside down.

Should we suspend...

our business here for now?

I came here today...

specifically to discuss this with He Bo.

But he doesn't take Zhan Zhao seriously at all.

That really worries me.

Therefore...

I sent someone to give Zhi Hua a few warnings.

One more thing.

You should rein in your future wife.

She is always with Zhan Zhao.

If His Lordship finds out,

he will be very displeased.

Master Bai, what is this?

Where are we going?

Why are you cuddling me?

Well...

I'll ask you one last time.

Tell me the truth.

What's the secret of this brothel?

There's no secret.

Master Bai.

You can't just say she's suspicious
just because she isn't pretty.

That's not how it works, right?

What is that room behind the stairs used for?

Why did I see so many people
being led straight in there?

Those are just their regular girls.

Of course they'd be led straight in
upon arrival.

Well! So many regulars living together, huh?

Are you trying to fool me
like I'm some brainless idiot, huh?

Don't be afraid.

I won't hit you this time.

What did you give me?

Don't you enjoy a life of debauchery,
Master Hua?

I'm giving you a Tonifying Pill.

Don't waste your energy.

Enjoy yourself tonight.

Come find me at the inn
at the east end of the city tomorrow.

And tell me all about it.

How effective was that pill?

Shao Ji Zu?

You mean he's with the Hanshui Palace?

- Her future husband is quite something.
- I'll say it again, he's not!

I would never marry him.

Let's get down to business.

What did you find out at Fenglai Pavilion?

There's definitely something fishy
about Fenglai Pavilion.

It's run-down and barely gets
any customers during the day.

Yet the tableware they use
is extremely exquisite.

The girls are dressed in fine silks.

These expenses are not something
Fenglai Pavilion should be able to afford.

Most importantly,

I saw many martial arts masters being led
to the same room as soon as they entered.

I think there's more to that room
than meets the eye.

I'll go with you tomorrow.

No need.

Tomorrow, a clue will deliver itself
to our doorstep.

Get some sleep tonight.

Why does this wind chime look so familiar?

The one you made last time was nice,

so I followed your example and made one.

It's hideous.

Do not tell anyone you learned that from me.

Why don't you ask me...

what the clue is that's coming tomorrow?

You said it yourself.

We'll know tomorrow.

Why should I ask?

Well...

If you want to know, I can give you a hint.

Do you want to know or not?

A little.

I went to Fenglai Pavilion today.

I ran into that creep Hua Chong.

He seemed to know Fenglai Pavilion inside out.

I think he must know
the truth about Fenglai Pavilion.

But he wouldn't tell me the truth.

So, I fed him something good.

Just wait and see if he
comes looking for me tomorrow.

What did you feed him?

Doesn't he like to mess around with girls?

Then I'd strip him of his manhood.

Let's see if he can still harm them.

You're just like Ming Zhu Er.

Carrying that kind of medicine
just to play pranks on people.

How is this a prank?

I'm enforcing justice for Heaven.

Regarding the crimes he committed,

when he spoke of them,
he acted like it was nothing.

He said, "I only ruined the innocence
of a few girls."

In this day and age,

can a girl whose innocence is ruined
still find a way to live?

I bet several of them
have already taken their own lives.

His actions are no different from murder.

Instead of waiting for the officials
to find evidence to convict him,

Why not just like what I did?

Castrate him directly!

Pull the evil out by its roots.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Go to sleep.

Master Bai!

I-I-I can't take it anymore!

See? The clue.

Please save me!

I can't take it!

Master!

What did you feed me last night?
It's not proper to harm me like this, right?

How is this harming you?

I'm helping you turn over
a new leaf, all right?

I'm begging you.
You can beat me however you want,

but you can't use this trick on me!

Actually, I don't want to trouble you.

I just want to ask a few questions.

Ask away. I'll tell you everything.

What's the secret of Fenglai Pavilion?

I... I'll talk.

I'll talk, okay?

That Fenglai Pavilion...

It looks like a run-down brothel,

but it hides many secrets underground.

Go on.

There's a hidden paradise underground...

called Zhongxiao Pavilion.

Many stunning beauties are kept there.

It's said that...

one look is enough to make you
lose your soul in ecstasy.

Where were these women gathered from?

Do you know?

I'm asking you. Speak!

That's their business.

How... how could I know?

How does one enter Zhongxiao Pavilion?

A command token.

You need a token issued by them.
You must show it to get in.

You're so familiar with that place,

you must have a token on you.

Master, you flatter me.
I'm just a nobody but a creep.

How could I ever be their honored guest?

I hang around there every day just

hoping they'll show mercy one day, and
grant me a token so I can see it for myself.

But I'm still waiting.

Master! Stop it, I really don't have it.

I-I just remembered something.

If you two want to go in,

you don't need a token.

Fenglai Pavilion has a rule.

For any first-time guest,

state your title.

If the host recognizes it, you can enter.

You are famous out there,

and I'm sure your friend is just as capable.

Why worry about not getting in?

Besides Fenglai Pavilion, is there any
other way to get into Zhongxiao Pavilion?

Another way?

W-What other way?

- I'm not sure.
- You're not sure?

- You're not sure?
- I really, really don't know.

You can go now.

Yep. Um...

Master Bai.

You... You've asked everything
you wanted to know.

What about my antidote?

You want the antidote?

This antidote must be taken
for seven consecutive days.

I'll give you one pill first. As for the rest...

it depends on your performance.

Alright, fine. I'll take my leave then.

Tonight,

we'll go scout out Zhongxiao Pavilion.

Curse you, Bai Yu Tang!

Once you're in Zhongxiao Pavilion,
you're a dead man!

Shao Ji Zu was just here.

Shao Ji Zu?

What was he doing here?

He just wanted me to go back.

But don't worry.

He didn't find out Fan just now.

We only arrived in Xiangyang yesterday,
yet he's already here to test us.

He seems to be losing his patience.

That's exactly what I told him.

I scolded him away.

Oh, right.

What were you two talking about?

That conversation wasn't fit for a girl's ears.

Ugh, Zhan is just protecting you.

He doesn't want to soil your ears.

That man's name is Hua Chong.

According to him,

there is a place called Zhongxiao Pavilion
beneath Fenglai Pavilion,

where many women are imprisoned.

We suspect the embroidery shop's
backyard leads there.

Does that mean... Yu Lian is also inside?

It's not impossible.

Don't worry, Fan.

Tonight, Bai Yu Tang and I will go
to Zhongxiao Pavilion to investigate.

I'm going with you.

You're a girl. Why would you go there?

With a veteran like you around,

I won't be at a disadvantage.

What do you mean, veteran?

- Who's a veteran?
- You are.

You even know where the brothel is,

and you know the name of Qiu Chan.

You even knew that customer just now.

And you say you're not a veteran?

Zhan Zhao.

In order to investigate for you,
my reputation has been completely ruined.

Are you going to do something?

Alright, stop it, you two.

That Hua Chong was being very evasive just now.

I think he's still hiding something.

Since you suspect him,

then Huo Xiao Mei will have work to do.

After he shows us the way today,

let her follow him.

That's not appropriate.

Given Hua Chong's character,

you can't let Miss Huo follow him--

Why are you acting like Shao Ji Zu?

That creep only has some amateurish skills.

You think Master Huo can't handle him?

It's alright, Zhan.

If you don't let me go,

then I'll have to go to the
brothel with you guys.

Alright.

You must be careful.

Even if you can't get any clues,
do not put yourself in danger.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.
I'll stay right here and go nowhere.

So this is what Little Zhu Ge,
Shen Zhong Yuan, looks like.

Something like that.

Even if someone has seen him,

as long as they aren't too familiar,

they won't recognize me.

What about you? Who will you play?

I've decided.

I'll play Shao Ji Zu.

You want to use his token to enter
the embroidery shop's backyard.

We only know there's a Zhongxiao Pavilion
under Fenglai Pavilion.

But we haven't figured out what's fishy
about the shop's backyard.

What about the token?

How will you get it?

I've asked the Beggar Gang's broker.

Shao Ji Zu is drinking on the second floor
of Baihua Tavern today.

I heard from Xiao Tang
that whenever Shao Ji Zu is frustrated,

he goes there to drink.

It seems Master Huo has truly broken his heart.

To swindle the token from him,

how confident are you?

Just wait and see.

- Wait, sir!
- Waiter!

This is for the liquor.

We pay for him first.

Uh...

There is a distinguished guest upstairs.

- They instructed that--
- He's a friend of that guest. Don't worry.
