In 1876, the royal treasury in Beijing

was robbed and 2 million taels of gold were stolen

Empress Dowager is in flaming anger

Empress Dowager arrives...

Long live Your Highness

Remove the cover

Your Highness, did you see that?

Today's dishes have been specially prepared

by the royal kitchen according to your wishes

There's chicken, duck and lamb

These are fried lobsters

Your Highness, why are you still worrying

about the state's affairs even at meal?

They should be dealt with by ministers

There's no need for you to worry about

Did you know about

the Royal Treasury

losing two million taels of gold?

Your Highness, it's not my responsibility...

Then tell me, whose fault is it?

I deserve a million deaths

I've no appetite

You can have all the food

I deserve death...

Mr. Liu, Forbidden city's chief of Security arrives.

brought to You by falang01

Greetings to Your Highness

Long live Your Highness

Arise

Thank you Your Highness

Mr Liu, what have you been doing?

The Royal Treasury has been pried open

Would my royal dinning hall

be pulled down too one day?

Your Highness, our investigations show that

the commander guarding the treasury

conspired with some bandits

which enabled them to get into the treasury so easily

The commander was silenced and killed after that

Mr. Liu, losing gold is one thing;

More importantly the country is losing face

How dare a couple of burglars

turn the palace upside down

If those westerners come to know of this,

our Qing Empire...

I'm trying my best to capture the robbers

Alright, I'll give you ten days for that

lt'll sure be enough

Your Highness, ten days...

Mr Liu, Her Highness is already generous enough

to give you ten days

Your Highness

If you insist on accomplishing the task in ten days

only one person can do that

Who?

The head constable, Leng Tian Ying

Sir, I beg you, spare us

Damn you, how dare you block my way

If you don't retreat, I'll kill his whole family

What are we going to do?

Wait for my brother here

and let him take the decision

That's right...

Brother

Mr Leng

How's it going?

Three robbers robbed a bank

and are hiding inside

Why not attack with fire?

All the occupants in there are being held hostage

can't smoke them out

Knife

Horse

Brother, he's not armed and is wounded seriously

Should have let him live

Kill them all

Do we still have to bring these burglars to court?

Brother, you're overdoing it

Shut up

Lord Leng, chief of Security summons you

Please set off for the capital immediately

Leng Tian Ying, head constable from the capital is here

Greetings from Leng Tian Ying

The treasury in the capital

was robbed of 2 million taels of gold a day ago

The five robbers are said to be on the loose

capture them within 10 days, dead or alive

Yes

cun Yi, round up all the constables

in the training ground

Brother, what's the mission?

According to information the 5 robbers

have escaped from the capital

I want to select a few of our best men

to pursue them

You take over in my absence

No

Why? Is it because I am not taking you along?

You want the truth?

We're brothers, speak plainly

I wouldn't want to come

Why?

Following you for 7 years

I have seen how you never take live prisoners

You have spilled much blood

You really like being called Killer constable?

You aren't a constable, you're a murderer actually

That's our duty

But it doesn't include merciless killing

You have spilled much blood

and I want no part of it

If you want to kill, do it on your own

cun Yi

Remember, as constables

we are faced with fierce robbers

It's them or us

"capital Station"

Squad 3, Attention

Follow the marker

I'm the marker

Fall in

Salute

Yes

Squad 3 in the capital station

are all ready

At ease

Yes

At ease

Peng Lai, Zhao Jian, Sun Heng, stay

The rest, dismiss

Yes

Peng Lai, Zhao Jian, Sun Heng, stay

Yes

The rest, dismiss

Fall in

At your service

chief of Security has ordered me to capture

the robbers of the treasury

You are among the best

and will follow me on this mission tomorrow, dismiss

Yes

Lord Leng

Yes?

You haven't assigned me any duty

I never intended to bring you along

You think I am too old?

You think I can't take the hardship?

It's the same to assist my brother here

Lord Leng, I can still fight

I don't have a belly yet

I have followed you many years

and have groomed

everyone here

Then what do you want?

Not much

I am retiring

Ask your wife to prepare some clothes for you

so as not to catch cold on the way

Yes

Dong Hu, Zhang Liang, Su Wu etc.

They all had great sense of honor in past dynasties

Wen Tian Xiang

Lord Leng, the tea is ready

cui Hin, come over here

Yes

Lord Leng

I heard you've just got engaged

so you can't go on this mission

This is just a small token of mine

"one hundred taels"

Thank you

but I wouldn't take your gift

Why?

I have decided to follow you,

capture the robbers and then get married

lt'll be a dangerous mission

and your life will be at stake

I don't want a groom-to-be

to take the risk

Go and get married

I have been with you for over 10 years

have I been afraid of death?

Please accept my gift

Yes

Ma Zhong, why bring such pretty boots?

My wife made them for me

to prevent cold sores on the road

How sweet of your wife!

Has she also prepared a pee bottle for you?

I am not like you, still wetting the bed n' all

Damn you

His wife really loves him

Mercy...

Mr chui, mercy

I'll tell you... you want to know who killed

the whole family at Tung Tao Village?

Again, mercy...

Do you want to know about that case?

Do you want to know

who committed rape and murder at the cui residence?

Don't kill me

Tell me who robbed the royal treasury?

I can't tell you

or I'll be dead

Speak

I can't...

Speak

I don't know...

Tell me who robbed the royal treasury

or I'll throw you down

I really don't know

cui Hin, what are you dong here?

Please pardon me

If I knew who robbed the treasury

would you take me together?

Say what you said just now

Alright...

Madam Wang a neighbour told my wife

that her husband has pieces of gold

with the treasury's mark on them

Who's her husband?

Yue Wu Guai of the Tai Fat Mill House

Get lost

Let's go and capture Yue Wu Guai

Lord Leng

Are you really not taking a wife?

Guess it won't be too late to wait

till the bandits are apprehended

Good

Don't cry

How can the matter of treasury

be shared with others?

I didn't know it'd be this serious

I won't speak it again

It seems there's someone outside

You sure?

Damn, it's the constables

Let's escape through the back

Don't move

Mom

Ah Niu, run quickly

Run, don't cry

Don't run

Run, Ah Niu

Stand still

Run, Ah Niu, don't grab him

Don't move

Sir, I'm innocent

I don't know anything, sir

Who else if not you?

I really don't know

Ma Zhong

Sir, please don't. Ah Niu...

Please have mercy on him

Sir, have mercy on us

Don't, Ah Niu

Sir, mercy

I'll speak

Tao Bau, the blacksmith. Zhang Long

and Wang Wan Wu

Fang Feng Jia is the leader

Where's the gold?

I beg you to do me a favor

leave the gold for my wife

I beg you

Ah Niu... Sir, I beg you

Have mercy on us

Give us a chance

I'll speak, it's inside the bucket

Please don't take my gold

Let go

My gold, let me go

How are you?

Dear, wake up

Lord Leng, watch out

chop off his head

Yes

You killed Ah Niu, you'll die a cruel death

You are a beast, a monster

I'll kill you

You'll die a cruel death

Peng Lai, let's go

- Peng Lai - Yes

Being kind to criminals means being cruel to yourself

understand?

Why are these people so frightened?

They take us for robbers who're here to rob them again

Poor souls

Don't forget, they are Hans

we are Manchurians

we can't mess with politics

Just do yourjob as a constable

check inside

Yes

Lord Leng

It's a deserted ancestral hall

Let's spend the night here

Still bothered by the incident at the mill house?

I just think everyone has the right to live

even if they are criminals

Do we have the right to kill them at our will?

Besides, they are victims of circumstances

and have been pushed into what they do

You are too soft

Hardly cut out to be a constable

Then you're saying lord Leng

is right to kill today?

Not only today

I have always admired his iron-like character

in dealing with those bandits

He never drags his feet

If I were in his position one day

I too would be a Killer constable

You all think he is cold

and has no feelings, right?

You're wrong, he is also human

and has his humanity as well

But because he is a committed constable,

his emotions are like his sword;

Hidden deep inside its sheath

The bed is ready

Go and rest

Yes

Peng Lai, what are you doing?

Taking some leftovers for the starving people

Take this to them

Thank you

Zhao Jian, where's Peng Lai?

Have you seen him come back?

No

What is it?

Haven't seen him return

Let's find him, quick

Right

Go on

Isn't this our bowl?

He might have been here

Find him, quick

Peng Lai...

Peng Lai...

Iron thorns

Lord Leng, what's the matter?

What is it?

There are two assassins

Are you injured?

No

Peng Lai has been seriously wounded

in the opposite village

He's in there

We can't move him. If we do, he dies

Peng Lai

Just kill me

I can't take it

Please heed my words

even criminals are human beings, don't kill improperly

I beg you, let me die

Please, don't let me suffer

Let me die

come on, I can't take it

Lord Leng

Damn, bastard

It's your fault for pushing me to rob the treasury

now I have been stabbed

The Killer constable never leaves a live prisoner

We couldn't kill him last night means...

It means we'll be hunted the rest of our lives

You want to escape?

Of course, no matter what

we can't wait here and die

I said you have no brains

that's why you can't escape

Where are you running to now?

Right

If we separate

we'll give him an opportunity

to kill us one by one

What are we going to do?

Find Fang Feng Jia and Wang Wan Wu

Four against one

Regardless of how good the Killer constable may be

he can't escape from us

No wonder you used to be the leader of the troops

You are indeed smart

I'll go immediately to find them

See you at the Da Long Bay fishing house after 3 days

Zhang Long

Zhang Long...

No need to wait

Killer constable

Zhang Long betrayed you, he won't come

That bastard betrayed me

No...

Lord Leng

Put it down as 300 taels of gold from Zhang Long

Take his head

Yes

Lord Leng, we've searched his home

There're only three hundred taels of gold

Did you interrogate him?

Yes, he's telling the truth

His share is only three hundred taels of gold

Killer constable, I've sold out

that blacksmith to you

You should trust and let me go

That's right, I've promised to grant you a pardon

But I didn't say I'd spare your life

Execute him

Yes

Killer constable, you'd never have thought of this

I knew that you wouldn't let me get off so easily

You won't have expected me to be smarter than you are

He's escaped

Lord Leng, follow me

Lord Leng, never mind about me, hurry and chase

Hurry and go, Lord Leng

Lord Leng, have those robbers been captured?

They didn't escape, right?

Lord Leng, Sun Heng died too

Where?

Over there

Let's take a rest here

Yes

coming...

Sir, have a seat, where are you from?

Stop talking rubbish

It's chaotic out there

and hard to do business

Lord Leng, sit

Get us some beef and wine

Sir, the country is in chaos and hard to make a living

There's no food at all, where do I find beef for you?

Then what do you folks have?

Some toasted bread

Alright then, hurry

Fan Jin Peng

What a surprise that in such a barren place

I can meet the Killer constable

How lucky!

Fan Jin Peng, you're notorious in the Eastern Kwangtung

What are you doing here?

I've heard that The Royal Treasury has been robbed

I'm here in the hope of somehow benefiting from it

The treasury has been robbed and the court is furious

It's not a trivial matter

You'd better go back where you came from

Head constable

What's the big deal for the court to lose some gold?

There's no harm sparing some for us common people

It's not the kind of money

that you can benefit from

Leng Tian Ying, you too are a government official

You should know that people like us

never suffer loss in business

Since I'm here

how can I leave empty-handed?

I won't let you go away empty-handed either

I'll give you 50 taels of gold and then you leave

cui Hin

Yes

What are you going to do

if I refuse your favour?

Then don't even think of leaving here

Leng Tian Ying, you hold great esteem in the capital

and I'm famous in the South

lt'll be difficult to tell who will win if we fight

If I were you, I'd take this fifty taels of gold

without any hesitation

Lord Leng, he's a great rascal

Why don't you kill him?

Till now, there's no proof of his crime

Besides, he's a kung fu expert, I may not be his match

I've met the person you want me to kill

on my way just now

Since you've met him

why didn't you kill him for me?

I haven't got my remuneration yet

It's too early to kill him

Alright, 300 taels of gold, they are all here

The Royal Treasury has been robbed of two million taels

Friend, is your share just this bit?

Friend, it really is

please take it

This may be good enough only for ordinary people

But as for killing Killer constable

this is a bit too little

What... what do you want?

These 300 taels aren't even enough to kill you

But if I kill you

this three hundred taels will become mine

That's much easier than killing Killer constable

So why bother to fight with Killer constable?

You are a man of no integrity

A man with integrity won't become a professional killer

You should accept your fate

Damn it

It's scorpion poisonous dart

That's right

once hit, you'll die of blood poisoning

within fifty steps

I'll fight you

Friend, being rash is of no use

lt'll only accelerate you to death

Wait

Killer constable, I don't care about the reward

and killed the man you want

Fifty taels of gold for killing a person

is the cheapest reward I've asked for

I just want to make friends with you

We can easily be friends

Please just open your bag

If the gold bars have the Royal seal printed on them

you'd better leave them behind and go

Killer constable, no need to be so furious

The gold will be returned to you

Ma Zhong, go and get back the gold

Yes

Lord Leng, secret weapon

Ma Zhong

Scorpion dart

Give me the antidote

Even if I give you the antidote

you can't go down alive

Where's the antidote?

There's no need for us to fight, we are an equal match

You can't kill me, and I can't harm you either

I don't want the gold

Let's be friends

I can give you the antidote for your man

Good swordsmanship

Didn't expect that your sword can kill

from far or near

Fan Jin Peng, you didn't expect that

I can escape the attack of your Needle

You are the first one

but still you'll die from poisoning

Fan Jin Peng, you are too presumptuous

Throatlock Needle never misses why coat it with poison?

But this time you've missed

Had there been antidote in the bottle

I wouldn't have given you

Your man will surely die

Lord Leng, where's the antidote?

There's none

Lord Leng, thank you

for bringing me together

cui Hin, help me up

Lord Leng, constable Ma Zhong

from the capital station

is awaiting your order

Arise, lie down and have some rest

Ma Zhong

Ma Zhong...

Lord Leng, your wound is getting better

Ma Zhong wished to thank you for lending

the coat to him that night

He was reluctant to put on these boots

He said he wanted to leave them for you

Lord Leng, have some tea

Lord Leng, we should go back first

What are you saying?

Lord Leng, what I mean is that presently

there's only you and me, and you are wounded

We can maybe return to the capital until you recuperate

Shut up

Yes

Don't forget, we are constables

I'm only slightly wounded, there's no big deal about it

These are our duties

even if it entails sacrificing our lives

Lord Leng, but your wounds...

cui Hin

Yes

Giving up half way is not only against our conscience

we'll fail Lord Liu who has entrusted us this mission

Dad

Xiao Lan

Dad

Dad

Dad, I miss you so much

Foolish child, am I not here now?

Dad, I'll make you some tea

Alright

Dad, have some tea

Alright

Dad, where have you been?

Why have you been away for so long this time?

Xiao Lan, come here

it's the same as before

I'm just doing some trading

Dad, it seems you're

hiding something from me

Every time you came back, you'd try to make me talk

but this time you don't even want to talk

Xiao Lan, you are right

I do have something in my mind

Dad, what is it?

Nothing of great importance

It's just that something went wrong in a transaction

I still have to go back to settle it

This time I'm just on my way to see you

Dad, you have to go again?

Good girl, this will be my last time

I won't go away again, I'll stay with you forever

can you not go this once, dad?

Don't cry

Don't go, dad, stay with me

Dad...

Dad... don't go, dad...

Don't leave me behind

Take care on your way

Leng Tian Ying, it's your doomsday

Why do you have to come again?

I don't like you killing people nor like to see you die

Dad

Dad

Dad

Who are you?

Miss, I'm a trader

You are wounded

I've met some robbers and was wounded by them

How pitiful! Sorry, I'm blind

come, I'll help you in for a rest

Feeling better

Thank you, Miss

How come you're riding my dad's horse?

Your dad's horse?

Yes, dad has tied a number of little bells on the horse

so that I'll know every time he comes back

Miss, you are so enthusiastic in helping others

Your dad must be a good man

My dad is extremely good to friends and likes helping out

Did he lend you his horse?

Your dad and I are good friends

My dad loves me

You lie down and have some rest

My dad said he's on his way to finalise one last trade

and would be back to stay with me

He'll be back soon, just take a good rest

Who is it?

It's me

Dad, you are back?

Xiao Lan

Dad, what happened to you?

Nothing, go and make some tea for me

Alright

Dad, your old friend is here

He's resting and is waiting for you

Who is it?

Dad

Dad, have some tea

Dad

So you are here

Dad, he's in bed

Why didn't you greet him?

Miss, we did already

You're already up

Why didn't I hear you greet?

Leng Tian Ying, how are you?

Fang Feng Jia, long time no see

You two have a seat

I'll go and prepare some dishes

Miss, no need

What? You're leaving again?

That's right, he has to travel a long way

I must see him off

Uncle Leng, you really must go

That's right, the road is long

If I don't go your dad will have to

I appreciate your great kindness

Xiao Lan

Dad

I'll be back soon after I see Uncle Leng off

Dad

Leng Tian Ying, thanks for not exposing me

in front of my daughter

Don't think I'll spare you because of your daughter

Where did you hide the gold you've taken? Speak

If you want to know where...

Show your skill, defeat me

Where's the gold? Speak

Speak

Brother

cun Yi

I'm looking for you

Head of the gang is hiding among the reeds, find him

Yes

Go and find him, hurry

cun Yi

cun Yi

Brother, chase him, never mind about me

Hurry, go

cun Yi

cun Yi

Brother, capital station can do without me

but can't do without you

cun Yi, you...

Run, hurry and run, hurry

Brother, run

Run, Brother, run

Retreat

Archer, get ready

Shoot

Second group, get ready

Shoot

First group, get ready

Shoot

I knew that you'll follow traces of blood to find me

The gold you want is here

Take it

one thousand taels

How come it's so little?

That's all I've got

Where did you hide the rest?

With Lord Liu, chief of Security of the Forbidden city

Bullshit, don't accuse other people

How will a government official

turn out to be a thief?

Hurry, hand over the gold

I've heard that you're very perspicacious

but it turns out to be an undeserved reputation

can't even tell the truth from false

Shut up, if you don't hand it over, I'll cut you up

No problem, but it's sad that you can't tell the truth

Surround the house

Yes

First group go to the back

Yes

Second group go to the left

Yes

Third group to the right

Yes

Your men can't rescue you even if they surround here

Leng Tian Ying, you're wrong

The men outside are not mine, they are Lord Liu's

They are archers sent by Lord Liu

How'd Lord Liu send archers to kill government official

Because he's the mastermind behind the Treasury robbery

You're talking nonsense

The Royal Treasury has been heavily guarded

Without anyone from inside, no one can get in

This is the map to the Treasury

given to me in person by Lord Liu

He embezzled 2 million taels of gold and couldn't repay

so he planned a fake heist

The real amount that was robbed

was the two thousand taels we got

He took the rest

capitalising on your practice of killing prisoners

he wanted us dead

And also sent archers to kill me

Damn, I'll fight them to the death

Leng Tian Ying, that's exactly what he wants

But then, your followers would die for nothing

I have a plan

that could get you out of here

I have been seriously injured

and would not be able to survive

Those outside think you are the only one here

but you must promise me one thing

What is it? Speak

You must promise to take care of my daughter

This is where I usually hide from constables

There is an air vent

Go in, quickly

Hide, quick

Please remember to take care of my daughter

I'd like to know what made you become a robber?

You Manchurians forced me

Go in quickly

Xiao Lan, dad won't be returning to see you

The corpse is here

chop off his head

Yes

Let's go

cun Yi

cun Yi

Kill...

Well done...

Ba Jia

Yes

Take them to lord Wang

and reward each with a hundred taels

Yes

Thank you

Go on

Yes

Ba Jia

Yes

Feed their carcasses to my dogs

Yes

My greetings, your highness

Long live

What's the progress about the Royal Treasury robbery?

All the robbers have been exterminated

Unfortunately, Leng Tian Ying the head constable

along with his five men have been killed on duty

Pass the order that they be praised

Yes

Make way...

Go away

Make way...

It's none of your concern, leave while you can

come, men

Assassin...

There's an assassin! Guards, quick
