00:01:39,897 --> 00:01:42,880
Zhang Yue! If you fail to capture those two,

3
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,745
I'll make everyone in Hanshui Palace
be buried with them!

4
00:01:55,759 --> 00:01:58,759
Huo Xiao Mei? You arrived just in time.

5
00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:00,000
Use your advantage.

6
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,319
Lead her away.

7
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:04,557
Miss Huo. Be careful of the Love Longing.

8
00:02:09,578 --> 00:02:13,560
We can't keep fighting like this.
We must find a way to escape.

9
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,959
Capture Zhi Hua.

10
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:17,263
Use him as a hostage.

11
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,620
What a bunch of useless fools.

12
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,040
Is that all the power your
'Little Compassion Palm' has?

13
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,432
Did you and Zhi Hua share the same master?

14
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,120
I won't dodge this time.

15
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,795
Come on, hit me right here.

16
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,873
Love Longing and Yin Yang An
are both forged from magnets.

17
00:03:10,873 --> 00:03:13,757
Fighting like this won't benefit anyone.

18
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,719
Hanshui Palace has been secluded for years.

19
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:25,239
Why have you become Zhi Hua's accomplice?

20
00:03:25,239 --> 00:03:26,839
This is not our intention.

21
00:03:26,839 --> 00:03:29,157
You're being threatened by Zhi Hua?

22
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:34,020
Where's Xiao Di? How is he?

23
00:03:34,020 --> 00:03:37,556
- Xiao Di--
- Everyone, stop!

24
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,286
If you don't stop now,

25
00:03:54,286 --> 00:03:57,407
I'll slit the throat of this
'Little Compassion Palm'.

26
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,799
Zhi Hua!

27
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:12,160
What are you doing now?

28
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,639
If you make another move,

29
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:15,920
I'll really do it.

30
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,200
Zhi Hua!

31
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,320
If I die...

32
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,795
how will you answer to He Bo?

33
00:04:21,795 --> 00:04:24,632
Exactly. How will you explain it?

34
00:04:25,679 --> 00:04:27,464
Move aside!

35
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:50,199
Murder!

36
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:22,732
I didn't expect you to be so useful.

37
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,000
After them!

38
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,945
Stop right there!

39
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,959
It's all thanks to Shen Zhong Yuan.

Shen Zhong Yuan's Pili Palm is not
just an empty reputation.

42

Don't use your inner strength
for the next few days.

43
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,640
That kick of yours was quite brutal.

44
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,080
Tell me the truth.
Was that a personal vendetta?

45
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,420

Is your wound bandaged?

48
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,840
I'm fine.

49
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,986
It's just a superficial wound. Don't worry.

50
00:06:13,986 --> 00:06:15,307
I'm hurt too.

51
00:06:15,307 --> 00:06:16,870
Right here. He kicked me.

52
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:18,970
Didn't you just have Linglong Honey?

53
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:23,182
Did you see Miss Yu Lian?

54
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:26,646
Many girls are indeed locked up there.

55
00:06:26,646 --> 00:06:28,693
But I didn't see Yu Lian.

56
00:06:28,693 --> 00:06:30,400
I heard from one of the girls

57

that she's with He Bo, the
owner of Zhongxiao Pavilion.

58

She doesn't appear often.

They're trapped in a mire,

struggling to survive.

62
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,640
How did you find out that Zhan Zhao and I were
in danger at Zhongxiao Pavilion?

63
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,040
Zhan, you were right.

64
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,357
Hua Chong is indeed suspicious.

Damn. I really underestimated that Hua Chong.

If I catch him again, I'll skin him alive!

you can follow Zhan Zhao
and work at Kaifeng Prefecture.

Who are these masters at Zhongxiao Pavilion
that could actually wound you?

97
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,070
After I was separated from Bai Yu Tang,

98
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:33,839
I was led into a secret room,
and encountered three swordsmen.

99
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:35,480
They fought with perfect coordination,

100
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,600
and were all controlled by
the bells in Zhi Hua's hand.

101
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,719
They attacked relentlessly.

102
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:44,199
Once they pin you down, it's hard to escape.

103
00:08:44,199 --> 00:08:47,600
And the strangest thing is
the sword techniques they used...

104
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,040
One was the Dragon Roar Swordplay
of Bawang Manor.

105
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,040
Another was the Lone Shadow Swordplay
of Shengyun Manor.

106
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,303
And also, the Soaring Cloud Swordplay
of Linglong Manor.

107
00:08:57,279 --> 00:08:58,920
It seems Zhongxiao Pavilion...

111

We have confirmed that Yu Lian was indeed
taken to Zhongxiao Pavilion.

112
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,959
Then is she all right now?

113
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:14,995
She is fine.

114

Tonight, we really had no way to bring her out.

But don't you worry.

116
00:09:19,556 --> 00:09:21,759
Since we've confirmed
Yu Lian is in Zhongxiao Pavilion,

117
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:24,232
we will definitely be able to save her.

Otherwise... Ah!

You helped Zhongxiao Pavilion
harm so many girls.

131

You're lucky I didn't
just kill you with my sword.

132

Kill me?

I'm not.

143
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,080
An inn like this is not a convenient place
to hide a living person.

00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,240
[Jing Xing Ze, Shangqing Sect]

167
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,960
Father!

168
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,600
Zhi Hua didn't discuss tonight's plan
with me beforehand.

169
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,482
He caused this mess on his own.

170
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,600
Do you know what kind of people come to
Zhongxiao Pavilion for pleasure?

171
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,759
You took it upon yourself to dismiss guests,

172
00:12:56,759 --> 00:12:59,399
causing panic and leaving a total mess!

173
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,157
And yet, you failed to catch anyone.

174
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,919
Father,

175
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:07,880
Zhi Hua doesn't just disrespect you.

176
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,480
Just now, he even tried to have me killed.

177
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,480
Bai Yu Tang's blade was at my throat,

178
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,201
yet he deliberately provoked him,
hoping Bai Yu Tang would kill me.

179
00:13:19,439 --> 00:13:22,399
Regardless, disturbing the guests tonight...

180
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:23,840
was my mistake.

181
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,009
Please punish me, Master.

182
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,320
Take your men.

183
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,600
Clean up Zhongxiao Pavilion.

184
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,720
Ensure it can open for business tomorrow.

185
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,482
Master, right now Zhan Zhao--

186
00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:43,545
Father,

187
00:13:43,545 --> 00:13:46,000
I just remembered,
I still have some matters to handle.

188
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,360
I'll go take care of it now.

189
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,932
Wait.

190
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,159
The invitations for the birthday
banquet were just sent out,

191
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:55,519
but Ding Zhao Hui arrived today.

192
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:57,880
I've arranged for him to stay at the manor.

193
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,840
His early arrival is a bit suspicious.

194
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,080
Take a few men to keep an eye on him.

195
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,020
I understand.

196
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:14,439
Do you think I don't know what you're planning?

197
00:14:14,439 --> 00:14:19,120
Do you think having Si Ming's support
allows you to walk all over me?

198
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,559
Zhongxiao Pavilion has only one master,
and that is me, He Bo.

199
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:25,559
Those improper thoughts of yours,

200
00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:27,995
you'd better put them away.

201
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,759
I told you not to use
the Great Compassion Palm lightly,

202
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:45,679
yet you used it so recklessly.

203
00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:50,245
You want everyone to know that I taught you
the secret skills of the Shangqing Sect?

204
00:14:51,919 --> 00:14:53,720
Ruining my reputation,

205
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,520
what exactly do you gain from it?

206
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,880
I-I never intended
to ruin your reputation, Master.

207
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,039
It's just that...

208
00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:08,759
the Great Compassion Palm is the only
skill I have to protect myself.

209
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:11,600
I've journeyed through the world for ages.

210
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,020
Without the Great Compassion Palm's protection,

211
00:15:15,020 --> 00:15:18,245
I would have died many times over.

212
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:26,480
In a moment,

213
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,320
go and tend to your wound.

214
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,880
As for today's matter,

215
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,840
don't blame me for losing my temper.

216
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,480
The birthday banquet is approaching,

217
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,950
yet you caused such a commotion.

218
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:42,880
I'm afraid you'll ruin my plans.

219
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,845
It was precisely for your plans...

220
00:15:45,845 --> 00:15:48,759
that I decided to strike tonight.

221
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:51,679
Zhan Zhao found Zhongxiao Pavilion so quickly.

222
00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:54,639
I feared he'd follow the trail
and uncover even more.

223
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:58,419
If that happened,
your decade of painstaking efforts...

224
00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:02,020
would all go down the drain.

225
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:06,080
Good for you.

226
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,863
To be so considerate of me.

227
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:14,559
Fine. Zhongxiao Pavilion will make an
exception and close for a day to reorganize.

228
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:18,003
You go and focus on dealing with Zhan Zhao.

229
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,680
Once the birthday banquet is over,

230
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,582
and I finish what I have to do,

231
00:16:33,582 --> 00:16:36,207
this identity as the leader
of a prestigious sect...

232
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,445
I won't mind casting it aside.

233
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:43,332
What you desire,

234
00:16:43,332 --> 00:16:46,845
I will eventually give it to you.

235
00:16:49,982 --> 00:16:52,582
I understand, Father. I understand.

236
00:16:52,582 --> 00:16:55,783
I only wish to help you
achieve your great ambition.

237
00:17:02,070 --> 00:17:04,957
Leave through the back door.
Don't let anyone see you.

238
00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:24,307
Madam, what was that?

239
00:17:27,399 --> 00:17:30,600
[Mrs. Jing, Shangqing Sect]
It was just a stray cat. Don't make a fuss.

240
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,360
I will have someone
clear out the stray cats tomorrow,

241
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:35,711
so they don't disturb your peace.

242
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,526
No matter.

243
00:17:37,526 --> 00:17:40,799
That little cat
often plays in the front garden.

244
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:44,720
It must have been greedy for food
and couldn't find its way home.

245
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,720
The door to the corridor is open now.

246
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,439
It only needs to walk out,

247
00:17:48,439 --> 00:17:49,759
turn a few corners,

248
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,332
and it will reach the front garden.

249
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,687
Is there anything unusual?

250
00:18:06,687 --> 00:18:09,232
Sir, nothing unusual.

251
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,570
Did you...

252
00:18:26,570 --> 00:18:29,040
see anyone just now?

253
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,682
My Lord,

254
00:18:30,682 --> 00:18:34,932
I only saw a stray cat darting across the roof.

255
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,079
And you?

256
00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:40,360
My Lord,

257
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:43,495
I also only saw a stray cat.

258
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,439
Please! Spare my life! Spare my life!

259
00:20:17,439 --> 00:20:18,800
I didn't do it on purpose.

260
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,880
They held a knife to my throat
and forced me to do it.

261
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,279
Did they also hold a knife to your throat

262
00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:26,682
and force you into Zhongxiao Pavilion?

263
00:20:29,239 --> 00:20:31,232
W-W-What Pavilion?

264
00:20:31,232 --> 00:20:33,882
Don't play dumb. Start talking.

265
00:20:35,199 --> 00:20:38,545
Fine, fine. I'll talk.

266
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,132
Where do you want me to start?

267
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,160
Start with Yu Lian's disappearance.

268
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,279
Your County Magistrate,

269
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:48,840
though he took the case,

270
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,400
he was just going through the motions.

271
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,679
Did he already know about
the goings-on in Zhongxiao Pavilion?

272
00:20:53,679 --> 00:20:54,920
Yes.

273
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,679
Lord Li frequented Zhongxiao Pavilion.

274
00:20:57,679 --> 00:20:59,880
So he knew Yu Lian had been
abducted into there.

275
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,239
But he never intended to investigate.

276
00:21:02,239 --> 00:21:04,559
He even warned us not to be meddlesome.

277
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:07,695
The trade market official is also
a regular at Zhongxiao Pavilion.

278
00:21:07,695 --> 00:21:09,039
Yes.

279
00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:12,759
That trade market official often delivers
intelligence to Zhongxiao Pavilion.

280
00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:14,840
He is also an honored guest there.

281
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,920
That day, he went to see Lord Li in a panic,

282
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,960
saying the secret letter for He Bo
had been stolen.

283
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,040
Lord Li was gloating at first,

284
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,610
until he realized his own token for
entering Zhongxiao Pavilion was also missing.

285
00:21:26,610 --> 00:21:28,407
So he...

286
00:21:30,479 --> 00:21:31,800
So, so...

287
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,070
So he thought of Liu Hong Yi.

288
00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:37,320
Liu often opposed him and went against him.

289
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,640
Liu's whereabouts were
uncertain during those days,

290
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,360
so Lord Li concluded that Liu had secretly
taken on Yu Lian's case,

291
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:46,120
and used it to investigate Zhongxiao Pavilion.

292
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:49,679
So Lord Li set a trap to arrest Liu Hong Yi.

293
00:21:49,679 --> 00:21:53,520
He also planted the missing token
in Liu's house,

294
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,239
along with...

295
00:21:56,239 --> 00:21:58,385
along with the letters he exchanged with you.

296
00:21:58,385 --> 00:22:01,212
Afterward, Lord Li handed him over to He Bo.

297
00:22:01,212 --> 00:22:03,199
To save his own skin,

298
00:22:03,199 --> 00:22:06,800
Lord Li didn't mention that it was his
own negligence regarding Yu Lian's case

299
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,320
that led Liu Hong Yi to Zhongxiao Pavilion.

300
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,999
He simply said the trade market official
got drunk

301
00:22:11,999 --> 00:22:13,439
and talked too much at the court,

302
00:22:13,439 --> 00:22:17,332
which drew Liu Hong Yi's attention
and led to the theft of the secret letter.

303
00:22:21,999 --> 00:22:25,021
Lord Li is quite clever.

304
00:22:25,639 --> 00:22:28,439
He knew Liu would never refute his story

305
00:22:28,439 --> 00:22:31,170
to protect Yu Lian and Fan.

306
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,239
You're quite clever too.

307
00:22:34,239 --> 00:22:35,560
With your smooth talk,

308
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,399
you've cleared yourself of all blame.

309
00:22:37,399 --> 00:22:38,782
I...

310
00:22:41,199 --> 00:22:43,760
Liu Hong Yi was investigating Yu Lian's case...

311
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,159
you were the one who told the Magistrate?

312
00:22:46,159 --> 00:22:50,195
That's why you became
an honored guest there today.

313
00:22:52,999 --> 00:22:53,999
Yes.

314
00:22:53,999 --> 00:22:56,280
I was the one who told Lord Li

315
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,760
that Liu Hong Yi had rescued
the scholar who reported the case.

316
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,520
That's why he gave me the token,

317
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,482
so I could enjoy myself at Zhongxiao Pavilion.

318
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:07,719
This... this is the token?

319
00:23:07,719 --> 00:23:09,639
I've really told you everything I know.

320
00:23:09,639 --> 00:23:11,570
I've held nothing back.

321
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,607
You haven't explained everything yet.

322
00:23:17,607 --> 00:23:18,679
Keep talking.

323
00:23:18,679 --> 00:23:23,157
I told you! I've told you everything I know!
I really haven't held anything back!

324
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:27,400
Do you think you can hide the truth
just because the victim can't testify?

325
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,399
Even if poison was used
to interrogate Liu Hong Yi,

326
00:23:30,399 --> 00:23:32,159
how did he get...

327
00:23:32,159 --> 00:23:34,880
all those external injuries?

328
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,719
- I...
- If you could find out the secret letter,

329
00:23:37,719 --> 00:23:41,159
wouldn't that be a great achievement
for you all?

330
00:23:41,159 --> 00:23:44,840
But Liu Hong Yi kept his mouth shut
no matter how much you tortured him.

331
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,679
That's why you were willing
to hand him over to He Bo.

332
00:23:47,679 --> 00:23:49,107
I...

333
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,040
You worked in the same office,

334
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,760
yet you were so cruel to Liu Hong Yi.

335
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,880
Was it truly because you had no choice
under your superior's authority,

336
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,320
or can you simply not distinguish
right from wrong?

337
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,120
Sir! Sir! I'm just trying to make a living
at the magistrate's office.

338
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:05,193
Please spare me!

339
00:24:05,193 --> 00:24:06,639
Zhan!

340
00:24:06,639 --> 00:24:08,782
Don't be impulsive.

341
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:33,159
Zhan,

342
00:24:33,159 --> 00:24:37,030
we will definitely find the truth
and clear Constable Liu's name.

343
00:24:37,639 --> 00:24:39,360
Within Xiangzhou's jurisdiction,

344
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:42,423
there must still be many
honest and upright officials.

345
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,560
I'm afraid it's already rotten to the core.

346
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,401
Master Bai.

347
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:10,932
This way.

348
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,959
You're working so hard on the case,

349
00:25:36,959 --> 00:25:38,200
yet you have to stay in a place like this.

350
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,360
Sorry for troubling you here.

351
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,970
This room has everything we need.

352
00:25:44,970 --> 00:25:46,280
Besides,

353
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,560
People like us who drift around treat the sky
as our blanket and the earth as our bed.

354
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,595
Don't worry about it.

355
00:26:11,719 --> 00:26:13,280
Master Bai.

356
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,570
The pharmacy is open.

357
00:26:14,570 --> 00:26:15,840
Go get some medicine quickly.

358
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,919
I'll brew them for you.

359
00:26:16,919 --> 00:26:18,199
You certainly have many skills.

360
00:26:18,199 --> 00:26:21,270
Not only can you make hangover soup,
but you can also brew medicine.

361
00:26:21,270 --> 00:26:23,679
Yu Lian and I lost our parents early.

362
00:26:23,679 --> 00:26:25,880
We've supported each other since childhood.

363
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:26,999
But come to think of it,

364
00:26:26,999 --> 00:26:28,820
as an older brother...

365
00:26:28,820 --> 00:26:30,600
I've been quite inadequate.

366
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,719
Yu Lian suffered a lot because of me.

367
00:26:33,719 --> 00:26:35,770
I really owe her so much.

368
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,826
It's a blessing for Yu Lian...

369
00:26:41,826 --> 00:26:43,600
to have a brother like you by her side.

370
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,090
Don't talk about owing her anything.

371
00:26:54,919 --> 00:26:56,360
Alright, Master Bai.

372
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:57,719
Go and get the medicine quickly.

373
00:26:57,719 --> 00:26:59,800
Otherwise, Lord Zhan will scold you
when he returns.

374
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,662
Fine.

375
00:27:21,870 --> 00:27:22,970
[Ruzhen Embroidery Shop]

376
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,497
Master Bai.

377
00:27:27,399 --> 00:27:29,317
Why are you here?

378
00:27:29,959 --> 00:27:33,159
Shen Zhong Yuan's crazed state
after being poisoned...

379
00:27:33,159 --> 00:27:35,160
looks familiar, doesn't it?

380
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,870
The poison he has...

381
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,053
is the same one you used
on my two sworn brothers, isn't it?

382
00:27:42,053 --> 00:27:44,600
How many others have you controlled
with this poison?

383
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,959
It is called Yemotian Poison.

384
00:27:46,959 --> 00:27:50,120
Yesterday, I intended to use it on Zhan Zhao.

385
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:53,919
Unfortunately,
I don't know what's so odd about him,

386
00:27:53,919 --> 00:27:56,020
but he didn't succumb to it.

387
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,040
But no matter.

388
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,880
I still have your two sworn brothers
in my hands.

389
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,600
Are my bargaining chips...

390
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:03,959
enough to you?

391
00:28:03,959 --> 00:28:05,280
What do you mean?

392
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,270
If your two sworn brothers
don't take the antidote soon...

393
00:28:09,270 --> 00:28:11,840
I'm afraid they'll end up
just like Shen Zhong Yuan.

394
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,495
The antidote that day was fake!

395
00:28:15,606 --> 00:28:19,639
I never said that what you found on me...

396
00:28:19,639 --> 00:28:22,719
was definitely the antidote.

397
00:28:22,719 --> 00:28:24,800
You've been away from Xiankong Island...

398
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,439
for quite some time now, haven't you?

399
00:28:26,439 --> 00:28:30,048
The poison should be flaring up again.

400
00:28:30,919 --> 00:28:35,800
When you returned to Xiangzhou, you wrote
to Xiankong Island to let them, right?

401
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,307
Your sister-in-law has already replied.

402
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,932
I passed by the inn just now.

403
00:28:44,932 --> 00:28:47,432
So I picked up the letter for you.

404
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,520
Master Bai, you can't be so stupid as to think
that teaching me a lesson on the street...

405
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,182
will get you the antidote.

406
00:29:06,719 --> 00:29:08,639
What do you want me to do...

407
00:29:08,639 --> 00:29:10,795
to get you to give me the antidote?

408
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,520
I want to know...

409
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,959
what Zhan Zhao has found out.

410
00:29:15,959 --> 00:29:17,719
If you tell me,

411
00:29:17,719 --> 00:29:19,919
I might consider...

412
00:29:19,919 --> 00:29:22,545
giving you the antidote.

413
00:29:22,545 --> 00:29:25,080
Of course, you don't have to answer now.

414
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,270
Come to Fenglai Pavilion at this time
tomorrow to find me.

415
00:29:28,270 --> 00:29:30,120
Then tell me...

416
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,057
if you'll agree to my terms.

417
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,919
Lord Zhan, Miss Huo.

418
00:30:00,919 --> 00:30:02,707
You're back.

419
00:30:04,582 --> 00:30:06,785
This man is a clerk
from the Yicheng County office.

420
00:30:06,785 --> 00:30:08,682
You should have met him before.

421
00:30:09,682 --> 00:30:11,719
He revealed a lot of inside information
about Zhongxiao Pavilion.

422
00:30:11,719 --> 00:30:13,280
I'm afraid he'll be silenced if he returns,

423
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,807
so I brought him here to hide for a bit.

424
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,679
What are you doing?

425
00:30:54,679 --> 00:30:55,760
Don't bother.

426
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,855
I won't say a word.

427
00:30:58,679 --> 00:31:00,199
Are you keeping quiet...

428
00:31:00,199 --> 00:31:02,639
because you think the people from
Zhongxiao Pavilion will come to save you?

429
00:31:02,639 --> 00:31:04,800
After tonight, if I don't show up,

430
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,470
they will definitely send someone for me.

431
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,720
Is that so?

432
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,719
You don't seem to be that important to them.

433
00:31:13,719 --> 00:31:15,479
I am very important!

434
00:31:15,479 --> 00:31:18,280
Without me helping them
scout so many pretty girls,

435
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,870
I--

436
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,919
I'm afraid even if they come,

437
00:31:30,919 --> 00:31:32,970
it won't be to save you.

438
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,445
Then... you mean...

439
00:31:39,445 --> 00:31:41,040
they will silence you.

440
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,239
If I were them,

441
00:31:42,239 --> 00:31:44,360
I wouldn't believe that you were beaten,

442
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,882
yet didn't reveal anything.

443
00:31:51,807 --> 00:31:53,679
Then... then...

444
00:31:53,679 --> 00:31:56,720
Then I'll tell you everything you want to know.

445
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,360
Can you save my life?

446
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,080
Whether your life can be saved isn't up to me.

447
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,360
But I do know...

448
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,679
that if you don't say anything now,

449
00:32:04,679 --> 00:32:07,719
and wait until you're in court to speak,

450
00:32:07,719 --> 00:32:08,959
it will be too late.

451
00:32:08,959 --> 00:32:10,400
I'll speak.

452
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,840
I will.

453
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,795
What do you want to know?

454
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,680
Why does Zhongxiao Pavilion...

455
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,360
have two separate entrances?

456
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,632
Any differences between the guests entering
from Fenglai Pavilion and the shop's backyard?

457
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,479
If you speak clearly,

458
00:32:29,479 --> 00:32:31,479
it might help mitigate your crimes,

459
00:32:31,479 --> 00:32:33,383
and lessen your suffering.

460
00:32:34,212 --> 00:32:35,920
Fine.

461
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,630
I'll talk.

462
00:32:38,719 --> 00:32:42,999
Those entering from Fenglai Pavilion
hold iron tokens and are martial artists.

463
00:32:42,999 --> 00:32:46,200
Those entering from the shop's backyard
mostly arrive in sedan chairs.

464
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,320
Few people ever see their true faces.

465
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,199
So I'm not sure about their identities.

466
00:32:50,199 --> 00:32:53,679
I only know they are distinguished guests
of Zhongxiao Pavilion.

467
00:32:54,679 --> 00:32:56,479
The tokens!

468
00:32:56,479 --> 00:32:58,560
Even their tokens are
different from everyone else's.

469
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,520
Their tokens are divided into three types:
gold, silver, and bronze.

470
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,080
Of course,
the gold tokens are the most prestigious.

471
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,280
Every time...

472
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,239
these guests show up,

473
00:33:09,239 --> 00:33:11,439
they spend very generously.

474
00:33:11,439 --> 00:33:12,880
So most of those girls...

475
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,331
are bought by them.

476
00:33:20,919 --> 00:33:23,919
Do you know who these people are?

477
00:33:23,919 --> 00:33:25,199
I'm not sure.

478
00:33:25,199 --> 00:33:29,440
The seating in the hall is assigned
by gold, silver, and bronze.

479
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,130
Those of us with ordinary tokens

480
00:33:32,130 --> 00:33:35,166
never get a chance to speak with them.

481
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,399
You've been kidnapping girls...

482
00:33:40,399 --> 00:33:42,639
so brazenly in Xiangzhou,

483
00:33:42,639 --> 00:33:44,520
yet you were never caught?

484
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,600
Zhongxiao Pavilion forbade me from
targeting girls from the local area.

485
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,320
They were afraid that if it was too close,

486
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,820
their families would come looking for them.

487
00:33:51,820 --> 00:33:55,280
Originally, I would go to Jiangnan.

488
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,800
Kidnapping girls and bringing them here.

489
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,999
But I had bad luck and ran into Master Bai.

490
00:34:00,999 --> 00:34:03,919
After he gave me a beating,
I didn't dare go back there.

491
00:34:03,919 --> 00:34:06,732
But Zhongxiao Pavilion was pressing me hard.

492
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,932
That's why I scouted two girls
nearby to finish the job.

493
00:34:10,932 --> 00:34:13,020
One of them...

494
00:34:13,999 --> 00:34:16,080
was Yu Lian.

495
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,418
You kidnapped my sister--

496
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,770
Fan.

497
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,932
Shameless!

498
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,280
The relatives of those two girls all came
to the embroidery shop looking for them.

499
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,745
I was scared to death back then.

500
00:34:34,745 --> 00:34:35,845
However,

501
00:34:35,845 --> 00:34:38,360
after so much time has passed...

502
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,395
I haven't heard of any major commotion.

503
00:35:22,213 --> 00:35:24,560
- What's wrong?
- Don't talk.

504
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,342
What's wrong with you?

505
00:35:28,140 --> 00:35:29,360
It's nothing.

506
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,695
I'm checking how your wounds are healing.

507
00:35:32,695 --> 00:35:33,695
By the way,

508
00:35:33,695 --> 00:35:34,959
when I went to get the medicine just now,

509
00:35:34,959 --> 00:35:36,880
I saw that Ruzhen Embroidery
has closed its doors.

510
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,360
I'm afraid it's not just the shop.

511
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,440
After yesterday's incident, Zhongxiao Pavilion
will likely suspend operations too.

512
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,919
If so, it will be even harder to investigate.

513
00:35:43,919 --> 00:35:45,240
Even if they suspend operations,

514
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,880
the people from Hanshui Palace
won't be able to stop.

515
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,599
They must be busy dealing with
the fallout these few days.

516
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:52,079
We'll stake out the embroidery shop.

517
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:54,182
Watch their movements.

518
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,720
As for you, don't go.

519
00:35:58,720 --> 00:35:59,999
Take your medicine and rest well.

520
00:35:59,999 --> 00:36:01,353
Keep an eye on Hua Chong,

521
00:36:01,353 --> 00:36:03,457
and take care of Fan.

522
00:36:11,470 --> 00:36:13,670
[Hanshui Palace]

523
00:36:22,919 --> 00:36:25,039
- Greetings, Granny.
- Greetings, Granny.

524
00:36:25,039 --> 00:36:26,840
Emissaries of Sun and Moon.

525
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,959
You said you had something to report.

526
00:36:28,959 --> 00:36:30,640
What exactly is it?

527
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,982
Last night, we encountered
Zhan Zhao at Zhongxiao Pavilion.

528
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,171
Zhan Zhao?

529
00:36:38,171 --> 00:36:40,039
He's actually not dead?

530
00:36:40,039 --> 00:36:41,390
Not only is he alive,

531
00:36:41,390 --> 00:36:43,760
but he had help.

532
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,439
Zhan Zhao's courage is indeed second to none.

533
00:36:46,439 --> 00:36:49,795
He even dared to barge into Zhongxiao Pavilion.

534
00:36:49,795 --> 00:36:51,760
He Bo has operated in Xiangzhou for years.

535
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,385
His influence is not to be trifled with.

536
00:36:53,385 --> 00:36:54,959
If Zhan Zhao wants to solve this case,

537
00:36:54,959 --> 00:36:56,919
he'll have to suffer quite a bit.

538
00:36:56,919 --> 00:36:58,280
In He Bo's territory,

539
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,640
if Zhan Zhao wants to investigate,

540
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,680
he is truly fighting a lonely battle.

541
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,628
- So I want...
- You want to help him?

542
00:37:06,919 --> 00:37:08,599
It's not that I want to help him.

543
00:37:08,599 --> 00:37:10,840
I just want to help Hanshui Palace.

544
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,200
For a century,
Hanshui Palace has been renowned.

545
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,800
Now we've stooped to
associating with the likes of He Bo.

546
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,439
Risking our lives for his filthy business.

547
00:37:18,439 --> 00:37:19,680
Over time,

548
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,207
people out there will surely mock us for
aiding and abetting a villain.

549
00:37:25,273 --> 00:37:29,400
Zhang Yue, do you feel mistreated

550
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,200
that I'm making you do these things?

551
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,320
Zhongxiao Pavilion is in the flesh trade.

552
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,160
They victimize women.

553
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:36,520
As a woman myself,

554
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,482
- how can I be their accomplice?
- Impudent!

555
00:37:39,482 --> 00:37:42,831
You are insulting me as well.

556
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,119
I wouldn't dare.

557
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:46,760
In the past,

558
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:51,145
someone like He Bo wouldn't even be worth
a second glance from me.

559
00:37:51,145 --> 00:37:52,280
But...

560
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,680
Chang Hong Bi is still missing.

561
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,399
Zhang Yue, you should know what would happen
if we don't cooperate with He Bo,

562
00:37:58,399 --> 00:38:01,495
what would become of Hanshui Palace?

563
00:38:04,439 --> 00:38:07,200
Hanshui Palace's lifeblood
is in someone else's hands.

564
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,439
We have no choice
but to be at their beck and call.

565
00:38:10,439 --> 00:38:12,039
As things stand,

566
00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:14,479
in this contest between Zhan Zhao and He Bo,

567
00:38:14,479 --> 00:38:16,559
there is no chance of Zhan Zhao winning.

568
00:38:16,559 --> 00:38:19,680
If you help him recklessly and He Bo finds out,

569
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,840
it won't just be your life at stake.

570
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,079
The entire Hanshui Palace
will be implicated because of you.

571
00:38:25,079 --> 00:38:26,200
Zhang Yue,

572
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,620
do you understand?

573
00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:31,160
I understand.

574
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,399
Everything has its priorities.

575
00:38:33,399 --> 00:38:36,307
We must not lose the big picture
for the sake of small gains.

576
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:42,119
Zhi Hua.

577
00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:43,599
You called for me so urgently.

578
00:38:43,599 --> 00:38:46,720
Is it because you have a lead
on the matter I assigned to you?

579
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:47,800
Yes.

580
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,479
We have already discussed it.

581
00:38:49,479 --> 00:38:54,559
To deal with Zhan Zhao, we must find out
exactly what bargaining chips he holds.

582
00:38:54,559 --> 00:38:56,360
There is one more thing.

583
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,640
I find it suspicious.

584
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,039
Liu Hong Yi is dead.

585
00:38:59,039 --> 00:39:00,720
When Zhan Zhao arrived this time,

586
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:02,599
he didn't go to the Yicheng County Court.

587
00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:04,520
But how did he follow

588
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,760
the clue of the secret letter

589
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,126
and find our Zhongxiao Pavilion
in such a short time?

590
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,119
These two...

591
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:13,160
are the embroidery shop's
shopkeeper and servant.

592
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,519
According to their confession,

593
00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:17,840
in the past two months,
Hua Chong kidnapped two girls near Xiangyang,

594
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,439
and sent them to our Zhongxiao Pavilion.

595
00:39:19,439 --> 00:39:21,480
[Fan Yu Lian]
Coincidentally,

596
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,640
their families both went
to the embroidery shop to look for them.

597
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,070
You mean this Yu Lian,

598
00:39:26,070 --> 00:39:28,320
and this...

599
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,680
[Hui Dai]
Her stage name here is Hui Dai.

600
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,795
She's from Qingyuan County.

601
00:39:33,795 --> 00:39:36,760
That Fan Yu Lian is from Yicheng County.

602
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,039
I've been to the courts of both counties.

603
00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:41,399
Their families had both
reported the disappearances.

604
00:39:41,399 --> 00:39:44,519
The Qingyuan County Magistrate
was quite efficient.

605
00:39:44,519 --> 00:39:47,559
The person who reported it
was silenced on the spot.

606
00:39:47,559 --> 00:39:49,399
But the Yicheng County Magistrate...

607
00:39:49,399 --> 00:39:50,880
So slow and indecisive,

608
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,388
allowing Liu Hong Yi to pursue the case.

609
00:39:56,079 --> 00:39:57,119
My Lord!

610
00:39:57,119 --> 00:39:58,519
Spare us, My Lord!

611
00:39:58,519 --> 00:39:59,907
My Lord! My Lord!

612
00:39:59,907 --> 00:40:01,479
Spare our lives, My Lord!

613
00:40:01,479 --> 00:40:02,919
My Lord!

614
00:40:02,919 --> 00:40:05,039
My Lord, spare us!

615
00:40:05,039 --> 00:40:07,919
My Lord!

616
00:40:07,919 --> 00:40:10,160
Well, this Yicheng Magistrate.

617
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,479
It seems he fooled us all.

618
00:40:13,479 --> 00:40:16,770
I'm afraid Liu Hong Yi followed Yu Lian's case

619
00:40:16,770 --> 00:40:18,680
all the way to Zhongxiao Pavilion.

620
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:19,720
Exactly.

621
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:21,959
He has already confessed to this.

622
00:40:21,959 --> 00:40:23,760
After Liu Hong Yi died,

623
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:28,320
he sent men to stake out
Yu Lian's house and Liu Hong Yi's house.

624
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,439
He wanted to silence the informant,

625
00:40:30,439 --> 00:40:32,320
but he never caught anyone.

626
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,840
I believe this person
has already been found by Zhan Zhao.

627
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,919
It was also this person
who led him to the embroidery workshop,

628
00:40:38,919 --> 00:40:41,559
causing us all this trouble.

629
00:40:41,559 --> 00:40:44,800
Hua Chong has disappeared.

630
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,200
I'm afraid he has fallen into
Zhan Zhao's hands.

631
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,070
Xing Ze.

632
00:40:49,070 --> 00:40:53,640
Take some men and search all the ruined temples
and abandoned houses in Xiangyang.

633
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,632
I don't believe we won't find those people.

634
00:40:56,632 --> 00:40:58,280
- Yes, sir.
- Zhi Hua.

635
00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,519
Interrogate Yu Lian.

636
00:40:59,519 --> 00:41:02,559
Find out if she has any relatives nearby.

637
00:41:02,559 --> 00:41:05,880
Zhan Zhao might be hiding there
with the others.

638
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,760
Yes, please hand Hui Dai over to me as well,
Master.

639
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,820
I have something to ask her.

640
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,519
Why are you here?

641
00:41:33,519 --> 00:41:35,583
Is something wrong?

642
00:41:36,943 --> 00:41:38,039
I'm here to take over for Huo Xiao Mei.

643
00:41:38,039 --> 00:41:39,439
I'm not tired.

644
00:41:39,439 --> 00:41:42,079
Why do you look paler and paler?

645
00:41:42,079 --> 00:41:44,360
You haven't been taking your medicine?

646
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,120
I...

647
00:41:57,959 --> 00:41:59,200
What are they carrying?

648
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,145
Let's follow them.

649
00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:09,880
Judging by the figure,

650
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,519
it looks like a woman.

651
00:42:11,519 --> 00:42:14,295
This fell out of that girl.

652
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,680
<i>Before that, if anyone picks you,</i>

653
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,907
<i>give them this.</i>

654
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,895
<i>You're not afraid of me anymore?</i>

655
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,182
<i>No.</i>

656
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,220
<i>I'll wait for you to come back and save us.</i>

657
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,399
Hanshui Palace used to be quite reputable.

658
00:42:43,399 --> 00:42:46,120
Now you've been reduced to
doing He Bo's dirty work.

659
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,079
Harming an unarmed girl!

660
00:42:48,079 --> 00:42:49,640
If I don't kill you today,

661
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,870
justice will not be served!

662
00:42:52,559 --> 00:42:54,880
This girl wasn't killed by our Hanshui Palace.

663
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,280
Don't waste your time fighting with us.

664
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,559
He Bo already knows how you
found the embroidery workshop.

665
00:43:00,559 --> 00:43:02,160
The people you should protect...

666
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,122
must be hidden well.
