24
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:38,200
[Episode 4]
25
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,400
Don't you all just want to know what happened?
26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Our families were close for generations.
27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,800
Mine was a family of businessmen
28
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400
and his was a family of scholars.
29
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Since the two families were friends,
30
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,200
me and Chaodong were engaged by our parents when we were young.
31
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,300
Those days were the happiest time in our lives,
32
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,300
until...
33
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:12,600
My father was put into Imperial Edict Prison
34
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,800
and I was sent into the Department of Official Prostitutes
35
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,300
and later sold to Joyous Brothel.
36
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,500
I thought I would spend the rest of my life like that,
37
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,800
but I didn't expect I would see him again.
38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,200
He finally found me after innumerable hardships.
39
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,700
He told me that he would redeem my freedom
40
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:40,200
and asked me to wait for him.
41
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,000
But we didn't expect the procuress raised the offer dramatically.
42
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,800
She spent only fifty taels of silver
43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,000
to buy me from the Department of Official Prostitutes.
44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,200
When she knew that Chaodong wanted to buy my freedom,
45
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,800
she asked for 500 taels of silver.
46
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
In order to get enough money,
47
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,100
Chaodong went back to his hometown and sold his land and all his valuables.
48
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,300
But I did not expect Zheng Cheng to appear.
49
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,400
That bastard bought my freedom,
50
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,700
yet he wouldn't let me leave Joyous Brothel.
51
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Chaodong was very angry and went to Zheng Cheng,
52
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,900
but was severely beaten up by his men.
53
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,000
The officials came, but instead of solving our problem,
54
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,700
they arrested Chaodong for a month.
55
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,400
Although the capital is vast
56
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,600
and is supposed to be a land of law,
57
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,800
because of Zheng Cheng, this bastard,
58
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:43,600
Chaodong and I couldn't see even a glimpse of hope.
59
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,800
So you two decided to kill him.
60
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,500
At first, we just wanted to commit suicide together.
61
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,800
Then all the wicked in this world wouldn't be able to bully us anymore.
62
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,800
But right at this time,
63
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,500
Chaodong told me that someone found him
64
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:07,800
and they wanted Zheng Cheng dead.
65
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,800
He told me to give Zheng Cheng the Fuyangchun Pill's prescription.
66
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,800
At first, I didn't dare do it.
67
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,400
But Chaodong was right.
68
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,900
Only when he died could we live.
69
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Who was this person?
70
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Chaodong didn't tell me much information.
71
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,300
He said it's better that I not know.
72
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Official Tang, I hope you can do me a favor.
73
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,400
After I die, could you bury me with Chaodong together?
74
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,800
Your being alive or not is not up to you.
75
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,200
The court will give you the verdict you deserve.
76
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:17,000
You were so close to her.
77
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,200
Why didn't you stop her?
78
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,300
Despair is the greatest sorrow for a human.
79
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:22,800
When she was already dead inside,
80
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,300
what's the point of keeping the body alive?
81
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:39,800
How's it going?
82
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,600
Runqing.
83
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:47,700
Zongqi Sui.
84
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:56,800
What's the situation right now?
85
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,900
I'm asking you a question.
86
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:05,400
Aunt Dong, I'd like a bowl of mutton soup.
87
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,000
Be right there.
88
00:06:09,170 --> 00:06:10,600
Stop drinking. Talk to me.
89
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,000
How is the case now?
90
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,200
Official Pan,
91
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,200
we found the suspect of
92
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,800
both the cases with the son of Marquis Wu'an and the crown prince's study companion.
93
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,100
So we tried to hunt him down in the Iron Market this morning.
94
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,600
- And...
- It was a success.
95
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,700
R-Really?
96
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,700
Of course. Zongqi Sui personally led the manhunt.
97
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:34,100
No suspect could have escaped him.
98
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:37,200
That's great!
99
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:46,600
Is the suspect in the Northern Administrative Court now?
100
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,000
Yes.
101
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:56,000
Zongqi Sui, so the suspect...?
102
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,800
He was injured during the manhunt.
103
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,000
I will interrogate him tomorrow.
104
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
After that, he will be escorted to Shuntian Prefecture.
105
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,300
Okay, okay.
106
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,400
This is great.
107
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,900
Thank you, Zongqi Sui,
108
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:13,400
for helping us arrest the suspect this time.
109
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,400
Aunt Dong, I'm leaving the money here.
110
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,200
Are you leaving already?
111
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,800
You haven't eaten your mutton soup yet.
112
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,700
All you care about is food!
113
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:24,700
You can have it.
114
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:26,800
Come back to the office when you finish!
115
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:29,000
Is your hand all right?
116
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,400
I'm okay.
117
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,000
Fortunately, it was not a poisoned arrow.
118
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,600
That's true.
119
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,800
Drink it while it's still warm.
120
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000
It won't taste good when it gets cold.
121
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,800
Why didn't you drink it?
122
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,300
It won't taste good when it gets cold.
123
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,500
What are you doing?
124
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:52,600
So that it won't burn your tongue.
125
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,400
So that it won't burn your tongue.
126
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,600
Marquis! Good news!
127
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,500
My condolences.
128
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:39,200
The murderer who killed your son has been arrested.
129
00:08:40,450 --> 00:08:43,689
And this person is now in the jail of Northern Administrative Court now.
130
00:08:43,689 --> 00:08:48,300
We will transfer him to Shuntian Prefecture tomorrow for interrogation.
131
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:50,000
What?
132
00:08:57,100 --> 00:08:59,400
You're eager to solve your brother's case.
133
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,400
I can understand how you must feel.
134
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,400
This case was solved so smoothly and in time
135
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,700
because of my supervision over the investigations.
136
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,400
So please rest assured.
137
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,800
I will interrogate him tomorrow
138
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,700
and then this case will be closed.
139
00:09:23,810 --> 00:09:24,969
Brother,
140
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,400
why did you and Official Tang lie to Official Pan?
141
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,800
Lin Chaodong...
142
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,400
We want to draw the person behind it out.
(T/N: lit. lure the snake out of the cave)
143
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,200
Official Tang.
144
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:42,700
Xue Ling.
145
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,700
Tell the guards. Don't let unauthorized persons come in here.
146
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:52,200
Who are you talking about? Whose case is it?
147
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,000
Whose idea was it to draw the real culprit out?
148
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,700
Such delicious mung bean cake! Don't waste them!
149
00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:02,500
Xue Ling, tell everyone to stay here for duty tonight.
150
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:06,600
Keep all exits guarded, but leave the side door alone.
151
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,000
Vacate these cells.
152
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,600
Double manpower in here.
153
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,000
I will lead some people to stay in this cell.
154
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,600
You take some more guys here.
155
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,900
Yes, Brother.
156
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:19,600
Just now Official Tang also said we want to draw the man behind it out.
157
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,800
- Does it mean tonight...
- Let me tell you.
158
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,800
I know my senior very well.
159
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,400
If you tell him a piece of news,
160
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,000
that means this news is no secret to the entire capital.
161
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,700
So the real murderer will definitely send someone here to do away with our suspect tonight.
162
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:32,600
Fortunately, your brother reacted to it very fast
163
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,800
and didn't say anything that he shouldn't say.
164
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,000
Official Tang, this is a good strategy!
165
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,100
Here's the thing.
166
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:40,400
All the people who know what happened are dead.
167
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,000
If it were not for my quick wit and improvising,
168
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,200
all the leads would end with their death.
169
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,800
So no matter what, I must be here tonight.
170
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,200
Whoever dares to say no to me will confront my wrath!
171
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,600
Sui Zhou, prepare to confront my wrath!
172
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,400
Didn't you want to stay here?
173
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,000
When did I say I wanted to stay in a cell?
174
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,600
I'm a lower 6th rank magistrate!
175
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,000
My rank is even slightly higher than you!
176
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
How dare you humiliate me so many times?
177
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,800
I'm telling you! This case is mine!
178
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,000
- The strategy is...
- Brother.
179
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,700
The thing you want is here.
180
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,400
Once again you're getting rid of me once the job is done, aren't you?
181
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,800
You're abandoning your benefactor after you achieve your goal again?
182
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,700
You want to beat the monk once the funeral is over again, don't you?
183
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,700
I want to ask you a favor.
184
00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:26,289
Just as I expected, you have caught the murderers.
185
00:12:26,290 --> 00:12:30,010
Hurry up and release me!
186
00:12:30,010 --> 00:12:31,710
This is a trap!
187
00:12:35,090 --> 00:12:37,549
Damn. Let's go!
188
00:12:45,630 --> 00:12:47,310
You go first.
189
00:12:51,930 --> 00:12:53,910
- Go after them!
- Yes!
190
00:13:05,050 --> 00:13:06,550
Japanese sword?
191
00:13:09,810 --> 00:13:12,330
Lin Chaodong is dead.
192
00:13:12,330 --> 00:13:14,410
Feng Qingzi is also dead.
193
00:13:14,410 --> 00:13:17,489
Tang Fan! Tang Runqing!
194
00:13:17,490 --> 00:13:19,010
- You!
- Official Pan.
195
00:13:19,010 --> 00:13:20,890
Zongqi Sui!
196
00:13:20,890 --> 00:13:22,929
This is Shuntian Prefecture's case.
197
00:13:22,929 --> 00:13:25,710
Indeed. But this case is also related to the case I am investigating.
198
00:13:25,710 --> 00:13:27,369
You can investigate on your own!
199
00:13:27,370 --> 00:13:29,810
Isn't that what you have been doing?
200
00:13:29,810 --> 00:13:34,110
As you can see, Feng Qingzi, the accomplice, confessed.
201
00:13:34,110 --> 00:13:35,929
The main criminal, Lin Chaodong, was killed during the manhunt.
202
00:13:35,930 --> 00:13:37,529
This case can be closed.
203
00:13:37,530 --> 00:13:38,649
Senior!
204
00:13:38,650 --> 00:13:40,170
What did you call me?
205
00:13:40,170 --> 00:13:42,210
Who am I?
206
00:13:42,210 --> 00:13:43,389
Governor of Shuntian Prefecture.
207
00:13:43,389 --> 00:13:45,810
What should you address me?
208
00:13:45,810 --> 00:13:47,450
Official Pan.
209
00:13:47,450 --> 00:13:49,690
Magistrate Tang.
210
00:13:50,570 --> 00:13:52,370
Case closed!
211
00:14:13,930 --> 00:14:17,810
Dong'er, is your madam still unhappy?
212
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:21,930
Master and his second wife are going back to the capital soon.
213
00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:25,169
But sighing won't change anything.
214
00:14:25,170 --> 00:14:27,210
I was sighing for you.
215
00:14:27,210 --> 00:14:28,329
Think about it.
216
00:14:28,330 --> 00:14:31,849
If this newlywed second wife is very mean and stringy
217
00:14:31,850 --> 00:14:33,329
and she wants to increase your rent,
218
00:14:33,330 --> 00:14:35,649
there will be nothing Madam can do.
219
00:14:35,650 --> 00:14:38,089
Haven't we been through this before?
220
00:14:38,090 --> 00:14:39,649
My salary is very little!
221
00:14:39,650 --> 00:14:41,209
Besides, this house is already on the capital's outskirts!
222
00:14:41,210 --> 00:14:42,849
How can you guys raise the rent?
223
00:14:42,850 --> 00:14:44,489
What are you yelling at me for?
224
00:14:44,490 --> 00:14:46,689
I'm talking about his newlywed second wife.
225
00:14:46,690 --> 00:14:49,230
Do you know, I have to walk almost two hours every day,
226
00:14:49,230 --> 00:14:51,670
crossing more than half of the capital, to get to Shuntian Prefecture's office?
227
00:14:51,670 --> 00:14:54,749
Yet she wants an increase in rent? How am I supposed to live?
228
00:14:55,890 --> 00:14:57,089
Who is it?
229
00:14:57,090 --> 00:14:59,670
Open the door! Open the door!
230
00:14:59,670 --> 00:15:01,470
Open the door now!
231
00:15:09,890 --> 00:15:12,590
We are here to settle the score.
232
00:15:16,030 --> 00:15:18,750
First of all, last time our Aha was drunk
233
00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:21,370
and you sent her home.
234
00:15:21,370 --> 00:15:23,530
This sheep is a thank you gift for you.
235
00:15:24,530 --> 00:15:25,509
I don't want it.
236
00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:26,790
Shut up!
237
00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:29,490
Secondly, last time when you left,
238
00:15:29,490 --> 00:15:31,230
you stole a cloak from Aha.
239
00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:33,289
That is her most precious thing.
240
00:15:33,290 --> 00:15:35,570
It had bothered her all day.
241
00:15:35,570 --> 00:15:38,150
So you will pay us 50 taels of silver as compensation.
242
00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:39,409
Fifty?
243
00:15:39,410 --> 00:15:41,570
Are you guys extorting me?
244
00:15:42,610 --> 00:15:44,570
Thirdly,
245
00:15:44,570 --> 00:15:46,910
why didn't you return the cloak to Aha
246
00:15:46,910 --> 00:15:49,190
but instead, you tore it up?
247
00:15:49,190 --> 00:15:51,850
That was Aha's most precious thing.
248
00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:55,390
If you were on our prairie, we would have used you to feed the wolves.
249
00:15:55,390 --> 00:15:59,550
So you'll buy your life with another 500 taels of silver.
250
00:16:00,290 --> 00:16:01,309
Aha!
251
00:16:01,309 --> 00:16:03,450
Duo'erla. Duo'erla!
252
00:16:03,450 --> 00:16:05,409
Duo'erla is our Aha's name.
253
00:16:05,410 --> 00:16:06,529
Isn't her name Aha?
254
00:16:06,529 --> 00:16:09,250
Aha is a title. It means leader.
255
00:16:09,250 --> 00:16:10,390
She is your leader?
256
00:16:10,390 --> 00:16:11,850
What?
257
00:16:11,850 --> 00:16:13,569
What's your name, Sir?
258
00:16:13,570 --> 00:16:16,050
My name is Wuyunbulage.
259
00:16:16,710 --> 00:16:18,670
Do you want that cloak?
260
00:16:28,090 --> 00:16:30,069
You want to extort me for 50 taels with this shabby cloak?
261
00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:32,510
I am telling you! It's not going to happen!
262
00:16:33,770 --> 00:16:35,610
You want to do it the hard way, don't you?
263
00:16:35,611 --> 00:16:37,329
If you dare to break it, I will tear this up!
264
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,530
Put it down! Give me that!
265
00:16:39,530 --> 00:16:40,629
Give me my chopsticks!
266
00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:42,510
- Put it down!
- I'll tear it up!
267
00:16:49,770 --> 00:16:51,370
Sorry to bother you guys.
268
00:16:54,610 --> 00:16:55,850
- Fifty taels!
- You obviously want to extort me!
269
00:16:55,850 --> 00:16:57,389
Your Excellency, don't listen to his nonsense.
270
00:16:57,389 --> 00:16:59,849
This stupid cloak is not worth 50 taels of silver.
271
00:16:59,850 --> 00:17:00,849
That's not what happened!
272
00:17:00,850 --> 00:17:03,430
You guys broke in, knocked him to the ground,
273
00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:04,729
and asked him for the cloak.
274
00:17:04,730 --> 00:17:07,550
You guys even ripped his clothes.
275
00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:13,010
Can you speak in order?
276
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:21,729
Speak one after another.
277
00:17:21,730 --> 00:17:25,050
- She took my chopsticks!
- This guy tore up Aha's most precious thing!
278
00:17:25,050 --> 00:17:26,049
And he slapped me.
279
00:17:26,050 --> 00:17:27,449
Your Excellency! I trust you to give me justice.
280
00:17:27,450 --> 00:17:28,689
How can he do that?
281
00:17:28,690 --> 00:17:31,020
Does the law and justice even exist?
282
00:17:31,020 --> 00:17:33,640
Don't you understand when I said to speak in order?
283
00:17:34,250 --> 00:17:37,910
Official Pan, Ah Dong had been watching all the time.
284
00:17:37,910 --> 00:17:39,429
She should be the most objective witness.
285
00:17:39,429 --> 00:17:41,489
Maybe you can let her tell you what happened.
286
00:17:41,490 --> 00:17:44,749
Fine. Dong'er, you speak first.
287
00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:48,090
Your Excellency, this is what happened.
288
00:17:48,090 --> 00:17:50,510
I was carrying a food container waiting for Official Tang in the yard.
289
00:17:50,510 --> 00:17:52,030
And then he came to open the door.
290
00:17:52,030 --> 00:17:54,969
Then while he was eating inside,
291
00:17:54,970 --> 00:17:56,669
we heard someone knock on the door.
292
00:17:56,669 --> 00:17:58,449
Official Tang left to open the door.
293
00:17:58,450 --> 00:18:00,469
Just as soon as the door was opened, I saw this beautiful lady.
294
00:18:00,470 --> 00:18:03,110
She kicked Official Tang to the ground without saying a word.
295
00:18:03,110 --> 00:18:06,190
Then this lady just pulled him like this.
296
00:18:06,190 --> 00:18:09,030
Then Official Tang, still on the ground, was dragged by her like this.
297
00:18:09,030 --> 00:18:12,529
Then the chubby guy was holding a sheep and watching.
298
00:18:12,530 --> 00:18:14,849
Official Tang said, "Give me my chopsticks back!"
299
00:18:14,850 --> 00:18:19,910
"Give me my cloak back!" "Give me my chopsticks back!"
300
00:18:19,910 --> 00:18:23,230
Then Official Tang gave up and went back to his house to get the cloak.
301
00:18:23,230 --> 00:18:24,730
And then...
302
00:18:29,250 --> 00:18:31,230
Then Official Sui came.
303
00:18:31,230 --> 00:18:33,550
That's what happened, Your Excellency.
304
00:18:37,130 --> 00:18:39,510
You can speak Oirat language?
305
00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:41,230
No.
306
00:18:42,030 --> 00:18:43,530
But that was exactly what everyone said!
307
00:18:43,530 --> 00:18:46,170
Such an amazing memory.
308
00:18:51,870 --> 00:18:54,130
The case is clear to me now.
309
00:18:59,950 --> 00:19:02,970
As for these objects,
310
00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:07,189
I'll confiscate them for the time being.
311
00:19:07,189 --> 00:19:08,849
I will give the verdict at another time.
312
00:19:08,849 --> 00:19:09,849
The court is adjourned.
313
00:19:09,849 --> 00:19:11,850
He said the court is adjourned.
314
00:19:11,850 --> 00:19:14,769
Aha, these corrupt officials are protecting each other.
315
00:19:14,770 --> 00:19:15,990
We are foreigners.
316
00:19:15,990 --> 00:19:17,429
Calm down.
317
00:19:17,429 --> 00:19:19,210
This matter takes time to solve.
318
00:19:34,110 --> 00:19:36,469
I almost forgot. What did you come to me for?
319
00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:39,790
What should we do about the close of Zheng Cheng's case?
320
00:19:40,490 --> 00:19:43,790
Within 24 hours, the case will see a turning point.
321
00:19:43,790 --> 00:19:45,110
Why?
322
00:19:45,110 --> 00:19:48,230
We'll talk over dinner at Dong's Restaurant.
323
00:19:50,590 --> 00:19:52,090
Marquis.
324
00:19:53,230 --> 00:19:54,629
Commander Wang, you're also here?
325
00:19:54,629 --> 00:19:57,890
I'm responsible for helping investigate Marquis Wu'an's case under His Majesty's order.
326
00:19:57,890 --> 00:19:59,790
I heard that you have closed the case.
327
00:19:59,790 --> 00:20:02,989
So I came to confirm so that I can go back to report to His Majesty.
328
00:20:02,990 --> 00:20:04,050
I see.
329
00:20:04,050 --> 00:20:06,850
I came to visit the Marquis for two things.
330
00:20:06,850 --> 00:20:11,790
The first is to tell you the culprits of this case are dead.
331
00:20:11,790 --> 00:20:17,030
The second one is to return your son's body.
332
00:20:19,130 --> 00:20:20,290
I'm sorry for your loss.
333
00:20:20,290 --> 00:20:22,790
I will report everything to His Majesty.
334
00:20:22,790 --> 00:20:26,270
I believe soon His Majesty will give his edict to name your second son your official heir
335
00:20:26,270 --> 00:20:29,030
to comfort your eldest son's soul in Heaven.
336
00:20:29,870 --> 00:20:32,370
Thank you, Commander Wang.
337
00:20:37,290 --> 00:20:39,870
This case is really tricky.
338
00:20:39,870 --> 00:20:42,590
Fortunately, it's over now.
339
00:20:42,590 --> 00:20:45,171
Junior, tell me. What do you want to eat? Let me take you to a feast.
340
00:20:45,171 --> 00:20:48,010
Thank you, Official Pan, but I'll pass.
341
00:20:48,010 --> 00:20:50,990
Junior, come on. Don't be like this!
342
00:20:50,990 --> 00:20:52,630
Take care, Official Pan.
343
00:21:05,010 --> 00:21:06,890
Commander Wang, could I speak with you for a moment?
344
00:21:08,270 --> 00:21:10,610
I have another favor to ask you.
345
00:21:12,790 --> 00:21:16,029
I want to check all the coast defense files from the first year of the Jingtai reign until now.
346
00:21:28,630 --> 00:21:30,290
[3rd year of the Chenghua reign]
347
00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:41,980
[Third Month, Marquis Wu'an's eldest son, Ying, dispatched to guard coastal line of Zhejiang]
348
00:21:45,810 --> 00:21:48,590
Did you forget anything?
349
00:21:48,590 --> 00:21:51,030
- No.
- That's not so kind.
350
00:21:51,030 --> 00:21:52,989
I am not as smart as you are.
351
00:21:52,989 --> 00:21:55,450
Don't keep me guessing.
352
00:21:56,250 --> 00:21:57,669
I am not sure yet.
353
00:21:57,669 --> 00:21:59,229
I'll tell you when I know for sure.
354
00:21:59,229 --> 00:22:01,870
The people who tried to kill Lin Chaodong were using Japanese swords.
355
00:22:01,870 --> 00:22:04,030
And now you want to check coast defense files.
356
00:22:04,030 --> 00:22:06,430
What's the connection between the two things?
357
00:22:07,870 --> 00:22:11,410
Commander Wang, if you say it this way, you already have an answer in mind.
358
00:22:12,430 --> 00:22:14,030
I can have my own answer.
359
00:22:14,030 --> 00:22:16,890
But you still have to tell me what you know.
360
00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:24,650
Watch the road!
361
00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:27,190
Leave!
362
00:22:37,230 --> 00:22:39,130
You bastard eunuch!
363
00:22:58,090 --> 00:23:00,310
Are you all right?
364
00:23:01,470 --> 00:23:03,170
Sorry, you must've been scared.
365
00:23:03,170 --> 00:23:05,369
I guess we'll have to take a raincheck for this meal.
366
00:23:05,369 --> 00:23:06,789
You did me a huge favor.
367
00:23:06,789 --> 00:23:09,130
I will keep that in mind.
368
00:23:09,130 --> 00:23:12,129
Escort Official Tang to return to Shuntian Prefecture.
369
00:23:12,130 --> 00:23:13,630
Yes, Sir!
370
00:23:47,030 --> 00:23:49,030
Don't get angry.
371
00:23:49,030 --> 00:23:51,389
We can never be aware of all the assassinations.
372
00:23:51,391 --> 00:23:54,911
Even if we can, precautions can't always ward off sudden attacks.
373
00:23:54,911 --> 00:23:58,050
They didn't even notice the coachman was an imposter.
374
00:23:58,050 --> 00:24:00,409
So don't tell me a crap of precautions that don't work.
375
00:24:00,409 --> 00:24:03,870
If they can't keep me safe, then they're useless to me.
376
00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:09,349
Go find someone reliable to be my bodyguard.
377
00:24:09,349 --> 00:24:11,050
Yes, Sir.
378
00:24:12,210 --> 00:24:14,010
Are you okay?
379
00:24:14,010 --> 00:24:16,089
I am not okay! My life is narrowly escaping from death every day!
380
00:24:16,089 --> 00:24:17,669
I need to eat more to calm down my nerves.
381
00:24:17,669 --> 00:24:19,490
Narrowly escaping death?
382
00:24:19,490 --> 00:24:20,989
Ever since I met you and Wang Zhi,
383
00:24:20,989 --> 00:24:23,450
I basically run into danger every day.
384
00:24:24,350 --> 00:24:26,269
Then pay me the five bowls of noodles you put on your account first.
385
00:24:26,269 --> 00:24:27,989
What do you mean, Aunt Dong?
386
00:24:27,990 --> 00:24:30,810
I'm not dead yet! And I haven't finished eating! You're already telling me to pay?
387
00:24:30,810 --> 00:24:32,290
When you're dead, who can I go to asking for payment?
388
00:24:32,290 --> 00:24:33,909
Why are you so mean?
389
00:24:33,909 --> 00:24:36,609
- You owe me money for a lot of noodles!
- Take the money.
390
00:24:41,970 --> 00:24:43,930
Brother! Official Tang.
391
00:24:43,930 --> 00:24:45,670
They are on the move in Marquis Wu'an Mansion.
392
00:24:45,670 --> 00:24:47,950
The funeral procession will leave tonight.
393
00:24:48,590 --> 00:24:50,289
I was guessing they would do it in 24 hours.
394
00:24:50,289 --> 00:24:51,509
I never thought they'd bury him so soon.
395
00:24:51,509 --> 00:24:53,290
It only took four hours?
396
00:24:53,290 --> 00:24:54,769
These people are really in a hurry.
397
00:24:54,769 --> 00:24:57,730
Burying him at night?
398
00:24:57,730 --> 00:24:59,509
Zheng Cheng died an unnatural death.
399
00:24:59,509 --> 00:25:02,270
It's not very weird that they want to bury him in the middle of the night.
400
00:25:03,050 --> 00:25:05,370
Everything is as you said.
401
00:25:25,130 --> 00:25:27,350
[Marquis Wu'an Mansion]
402
00:25:32,350 --> 00:25:34,130
My Lord...
403
00:25:34,130 --> 00:25:36,250
My Lord, they are here!
404
00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:45,189
What are Your Excellencies doing here?
405
00:25:45,189 --> 00:25:46,389
Investigating a case.
406
00:25:46,389 --> 00:25:49,229
Isn't my son Zheng Cheng's case closed?
407
00:25:49,229 --> 00:25:52,089
Yes. That case is closed.
408
00:25:52,089 --> 00:25:55,469
But what we want to investigate now is the case of you, Zheng Ying,
409
00:25:55,469 --> 00:25:57,769
covering up for the murderer, providing false evidence,
410
00:25:57,769 --> 00:26:00,909
setting fire at Eastern Depot, an attempt of murder, and breaking into prison.
411
00:26:00,909 --> 00:26:04,749
Official Tang, since you are a magistrate, you know you have to have evidence when speaking.
412
00:26:04,749 --> 00:26:07,969
You can't just convict me by naming a few random charges.
413
00:26:07,969 --> 00:26:11,890
Isn't this a disrespect of the Law of the Ming dynasty?
414
00:26:11,890 --> 00:26:13,449
Marquis is right.
415
00:26:13,450 --> 00:26:14,789
If we don't have evidence,
416
00:26:14,789 --> 00:26:17,309
we wouldn't have come to your mansion so recklessly.
417
00:26:17,309 --> 00:26:19,370
Where is the evidence?
418
00:26:20,790 --> 00:26:23,050
Right in the coffin.
419
00:26:31,010 --> 00:26:32,610
Open the coffin!
420
00:26:32,610 --> 00:26:34,969
Shuntian Prefecture and Imperial Guards!
421
00:26:34,969 --> 00:26:38,510
What do you take me, Marquis Wu'an, for?
422
00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:40,829
You really think I'll watch you bully
423
00:26:40,829 --> 00:26:43,510
and slander me without fighting back?
424
00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:52,930
Everyone, hold your horses!
425
00:26:52,930 --> 00:26:54,990
I have a few questions.
426
00:27:00,870 --> 00:27:04,410
Commander Wang, what questions do you have?
427
00:27:04,410 --> 00:27:08,010
Magistrate Tang, I heard your accusations.
428
00:27:08,010 --> 00:27:12,430
I feel they're neither reasonable nor logical.
429
00:27:12,430 --> 00:27:14,309
Why do you think so?
430
00:27:14,309 --> 00:27:15,930
Please do enlighten me.
431
00:27:15,930 --> 00:27:19,289
You said the Marquis was covering up for the murderer and providing false evidence.
432
00:27:19,289 --> 00:27:20,750
But this is not reasonable.
433
00:27:20,750 --> 00:27:24,030
You know, he is Zheng Chang, the victim's family.
434
00:27:24,030 --> 00:27:27,089
What motive can a father have
435
00:27:27,090 --> 00:27:31,150
to protect the murderer of his son?
436
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:32,629
The answer is simple.
437
00:27:32,629 --> 00:27:35,870
The murderer is his other son.
438
00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:44,069
According to my guess, the Marquis didn't know
439
00:27:44,069 --> 00:27:45,889
who the real murderer was at that night of the crime.
440
00:27:45,889 --> 00:27:47,830
But the next day,
441
00:27:47,830 --> 00:27:51,150
something he learned made him find out the true murderer's identity.
442
00:27:51,150 --> 00:27:54,489
So he made a decision in no time.
443
00:27:54,489 --> 00:27:56,149
He handed over a fake body to the Eastern Depot
444
00:27:56,149 --> 00:27:58,750
and sent someone to set fire at the Eastern Depot.
445
00:27:59,550 --> 00:28:03,449
The reason why he did that was that the murderer is his other son.
446
00:28:03,449 --> 00:28:07,180
That's why he wouldn't want us to find out who really did it.
447
00:28:07,610 --> 00:28:10,870
Why did you pawn this jade pendant?
448
00:28:10,870 --> 00:28:13,710
Why did you want five thousand taels of silver for?
449
00:28:15,870 --> 00:28:19,630
The money was paid to my hitman.
450
00:28:19,630 --> 00:28:21,510
What hitman?
451
00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:28,130
Everything I did was for our family!
452
00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:33,629
Let's assume, for the sake of discussion, what you said is true.
453
00:28:33,629 --> 00:28:36,469
But setting fire at Eastern Deport, an attempt of murder, and breaking into prison?
454
00:28:36,469 --> 00:28:38,629
It's like him being enemies with the Eastern Deport, the Imperial Guard,
455
00:28:38,629 --> 00:28:40,749
and Shuntian Prefecture at the same time.
456
00:28:40,749 --> 00:28:43,729
The marquis couldn't have done it alone.
457
00:28:43,729 --> 00:28:47,249
Even my Western Deport is not powerful enough to challenge these three forces at the same time.
458
00:28:47,249 --> 00:28:49,610
Your inference is unreasonable.
459
00:28:55,510 --> 00:28:57,989
I have two things here to prove
460
00:28:57,989 --> 00:29:01,850
those Japanese hatchet men were taking orders from you.
461
00:29:06,990 --> 00:29:08,789
In the third lunar month of the 7th year of the Jingtai reign,
462
00:29:08,789 --> 00:29:11,889
Ying, the eldest son of Marquis Wu'an, was dispatched to guard the coastal lines.
463
00:29:11,890 --> 00:29:15,229
According to the Ming dynasty's law, hereditary knighthood will be demoted one ranking each generation.
464
00:29:15,229 --> 00:29:18,990
The only exception is when the heir has performed meritorious service.
465
00:29:18,990 --> 00:29:21,749
If not, the title will be demoted one ranking every generation
466
00:29:21,749 --> 00:29:25,490
until it is finally withdrawn.
467
00:29:25,490 --> 00:29:27,950
In the 7th year of the Jingtai reign, when you were eighteen years old
468
00:29:27,950 --> 00:29:29,849
and Zheng Cheng was only two years old,
469
00:29:29,850 --> 00:29:31,529
in order for the title not to be demoted,
470
00:29:31,530 --> 00:29:34,550
you chose to serve the army and fight for military merits.
471
00:29:34,550 --> 00:29:38,149
In the 3rd year of the Chenghua reign, the Civil War of Onin broke out in Japan.
472
00:29:38,149 --> 00:29:40,749
A large number of Japanese people sailed west across the sea and entered Ming.
473
00:29:40,749 --> 00:29:43,210
That year you were 29 years old
474
00:29:43,210 --> 00:29:45,429
and you were General of Defense in Xiangzhou.
475
00:29:45,429 --> 00:29:48,869
In the next few years, you subdued a lot of Japanese warriors to work for you.
476
00:29:48,869 --> 00:29:50,469
Even after you inherited the title,
477
00:29:50,469 --> 00:29:55,070
you brought them back to the capital with you as your family retainers.
478
00:29:55,070 --> 00:29:58,050
These are nothing but your guesses!
479
00:29:58,050 --> 00:30:00,150
If the fact that I was once defending the coastal lines
480
00:30:00,150 --> 00:30:01,549
can be used as evidence to go against me,
481
00:30:01,549 --> 00:30:06,089
then all the military men who have fought against Japanese pirates are suspects.
482
00:30:10,190 --> 00:30:15,270
The evidence is the body in that coffin.
483
00:30:15,270 --> 00:30:18,690
We pretended to close the case and returned the fake body
484
00:30:18,690 --> 00:30:24,450
just to paralyze you which would give us a chance to get the real body.
485
00:30:24,450 --> 00:30:27,410
I told you, no one can open the coffin today!
486
00:30:27,410 --> 00:30:30,350
Marquis, if I may?
487
00:30:30,350 --> 00:30:32,350
If Tang Fan is right,
488
00:30:32,350 --> 00:30:35,530
then you are guilty of deceiving His Majesty.
489
00:30:35,530 --> 00:30:37,829
This is a crime that could get your whole clan killed.
490
00:30:37,829 --> 00:30:39,850
Even if you have a title,
491
00:30:39,850 --> 00:30:42,650
it's too serious for you to not cooperate.
492
00:30:42,650 --> 00:30:45,450
But if Tang Fan wrongfully accused you,
493
00:30:45,450 --> 00:30:48,070
then the two of them are going too far.
494
00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:51,009
I can guarantee with my life that I will report this to His Majesty
495
00:30:51,009 --> 00:30:55,189
to seek justice for you and your family and make sure they pay their price.
496
00:30:55,189 --> 00:30:57,369
The two will be exiled to remote borders.
497
00:30:57,370 --> 00:31:00,489
Three thousand li for this one, and five thousand li for that one.
(T/N: ancient measure of length, approx. 500m)
498
00:31:00,489 --> 00:31:04,189
Wang Zhi! Others are afraid of Western Depot, but not me!
499
00:31:04,189 --> 00:31:07,169
You don't need to scare me with exterminating my clan,
500
00:31:07,170 --> 00:31:09,930
nor fool me with seeking justice for me!
501
00:31:09,930 --> 00:31:12,570
Unless His Majesty personally comes here today,
502
00:31:12,570 --> 00:31:14,770
no one can open the coffin!
503
00:31:14,770 --> 00:31:18,230
You'll do that over the dead body of everyone in my house!
504
00:31:20,090 --> 00:31:23,130
Marquis, tonight I came here
505
00:31:23,130 --> 00:31:27,230
without any soldier but only a word from someone.
506
00:31:27,230 --> 00:31:29,429
Just go ahead and say it.
507
00:31:29,429 --> 00:31:31,969
I'd rather not.
508
00:31:31,969 --> 00:31:33,209
Why not?
509
00:31:33,209 --> 00:31:35,410
When I say it out loud,
510
00:31:35,410 --> 00:31:39,070
the only one who can take it back
511
00:31:39,070 --> 00:31:41,710
will be His Majesty.
512
00:31:49,270 --> 00:31:50,770
Father!
513
00:32:01,670 --> 00:32:04,510
It was me who killed Zheng Cheng with Lin Chaodong.
514
00:32:04,510 --> 00:32:07,090
It was also me who swapped the body
515
00:32:07,090 --> 00:32:08,989
and set fire at the Eastern Depot.
516
00:32:08,989 --> 00:32:13,009
I also hired Japanese people to kill Lin Chaodong and attacked Shuntian Prefecture.
517
00:32:13,009 --> 00:32:15,270
Everything was my doing.
518
00:32:15,870 --> 00:32:17,289
Others had nothing to do with it.
519
00:32:17,289 --> 00:32:21,070
Second Young Master, you finally came out.
520
00:32:21,070 --> 00:32:23,930
Why did you buy Han Zao's body?
521
00:32:25,810 --> 00:32:27,890
Zheng Cheng died suddenly
522
00:32:27,890 --> 00:32:30,150
and miserably that day.
523
00:32:30,810 --> 00:32:32,870
We had planned it for so long
524
00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:36,389
just to make it look like he died from a sudden stroke during intercourse.
525
00:32:36,389 --> 00:32:40,870
So we had to find a woman to be in his room.
526
00:32:42,110 --> 00:32:44,469
But everyone in Joyous Brothel saw it that day
527

that Zheng Cheng and Feng Qingzi had a quarrel.
528
00:32:47,050 --> 00:32:51,169
Also, Lin Chaodong was not willing to let Feng Qingzi enter Zheng Cheng's room again.

He did nothing but indulge in dissipation.

His sin was unforgivable.

If the title was to pass to him,
