(Adapted from Qidian's "Long Live Your Majesty" by Xing Yan Yan)

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,840
(Episode 2)
5
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,159
(Bofeng House)
6
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,959
Everyone! Today, Bofeng House is especially features...
7
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:46,279
Ms. Situ's favorite,
8
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Spring Flower and Autumn Moon pastry,
9
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,639
made with different fruits...
10
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,919
harvested across the four seasons.
11
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,159
For only ten taels,
12
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,999
you can also taste Ms. Situ's specially-prepared drinks.
13
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,416
They're all here for you to choose from.
14
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,640
- I want some! - I want it! I want two!
15
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,400
I was wondering why there was such a strong sheep stench here.
16
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,080
Isn't this the girl I kicked out of the Women's School, Ms. Wen?
17
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,160
You're a stinking shepherd.
18
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,960
How did you end up doing chores here?
19
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,240
I wonder if Yan Fu Zhi...
20
00:02:24,241 --> 00:02:25,439
is running a restaurant...
21
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,599
or a charity house.
22
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,240
Exactly. This place will be ruined sooner or later.
23
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,360
Grab her.
24
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Let me go. What are you doing?
25
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,400
What do you want?
26
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,040
Let me go! Let go!
27
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,560
In the entire Women's School,
28
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,160
only Yan Fu Zhi and Meng Ting Hui dare to disobey me.
29
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Now that you're working for Yan Fu Zhi,
30
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,800
doesn't that mean you're deliberately antagonizing me?
31
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,840
Mei Er...
32
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,720
I'm just here to work.
33
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,120
Please.
34
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,120
How can you call my name?
35
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,960
This sheep stench is giving me a headache.
36
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,200
We should give her a wash.
37
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,240
Let go of me!
38
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,760
Let me go!
39
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,520
Aren't you under Yan Fu Zhi's protection?
40
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,560
Let's see...
41
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,160
if she'll come to help you.
42
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,800
Don't!
43
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,240
No, please!
44
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Stop!
45
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,480
Please!
46
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,920
(Bofeng House)
47
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,600
Let's go.
48
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,520
What exactly did Wen Xiaomei do to you...
49
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,520
that you're being so ruthless to her?
50
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,840
You're finally here.
51
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,120
I heard you hired someone named Situ Xue,
52
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,920
who's very popular here.
53
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,240
Tell her to come out.
54
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,360
I don't believe there's anyone in Shazhou...
55
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,520
who could be prettier than me.
56
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,640
Get out!
57
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,080
Trash Bofeng House!
58
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,200
Song!
59
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,856
If you dare to touch anything,
60
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,039
your family's silk business...
61
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,600
can forget about working with the Yans.
62
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,040
Mei Er, Wen Xiaomei has no power,
63
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,656
- but the Yans are very wealthy. - Stop!
64
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,240
In Shazhou, they are people of status.
65
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:20,399
My uncle is Shazhou's Governor.
66
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,840
He's backed by the Left Chancellor.
67
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,896
If you don't even have the guts to do this,
68
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,199
then get back to your silk shop.
69
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,800
Don't embarrass yourself in front of me.
70
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,880
- Get lost! - Stop! Let go of her!
71
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,440
Trash the place!
72
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Smash it all to pieces!
73
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:38,520
Stop!
74
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,120
- My face. - Let go of me!
75
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Blood...
76
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,200
My face.
77
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,400
Let go of me!
78
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,560
You dare to hit me?
79
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,280
You must have a death wish.
80
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,040
Where is that best friend of yours?
81
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,720
Why isn't she here to save you?
82
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,640
If I don't see Situ Xue today,
83
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,440
I'll turn Bofeng House into a pile of rubble.
84
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,720
Stop!
85
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:07,480
Didn't you want to see me?
86
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,640
Let her go.
87
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,240
Miss.
88
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,640
When did you get back?
89
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:39,919
This is none of your concern.
90
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,960
I'm going to do something I've always wanted to do.
91
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:19,920
Meng Ting Hui.
92
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,320
It's actually you.
93
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,719
You're just a lowly orphan girl.
94
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,639
How dare you pretend to be the capital's top dancer?
95
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,640
Jiang Mei Er.
96
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,960
I'll give you a chance.
97
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,840
Kowtow and apologize.
98
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,400
Pay double the compensation.
99
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,720
Otherwise,
100
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:39,880
we'll all die together today.
101
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,200
As if you're worthy.
102
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,296
Meng Meng, you still have to take the exams.
103
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,776
It's not worth risking your life to deal with them.
104
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,800
To deal with a lunatic,
105
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,760
you must use a lunatic's methods.
106
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,440
My life is worthless.
107
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,799
Taking power-abusing scions of officials like you...
108
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,800
to the grave with me...
109
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,040
is totally worth it.
110
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,600
Jiang Mei Er.
111
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,320
Didn't you want to turn Bofeng House into a pile of rubble?
112
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,720
I'll help you.
113
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,520
I'll burn us all to death.
114
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,399
Meng Ting Hui, you lunatic!
115
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,680
Now, you're scared?
116
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,480
Weren't you having a lot of fun bullying people?
117
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,320
Meng Ting Hui, you've gone too far!
118
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,040
Young Master Song.
119
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,800
You want to die with them?
120
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,720
I'll grant your wish.
121
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,559
Mei Er, since childhood, she's been a vicious and cruel con artist.
122
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,056
We don't need to risk our lives to deal with her.
123
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,240
You useless piece of trash!
124
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,080
I'm running out of patience.
125
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,440
If you don't kowtow and pay up,
126
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,160
let's all die together.
127
00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,976
Meng... Meng Ting Hui, I was wrong!
128
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,479
- I'll pay! - You...
129
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,200
Fu Zhi, collect the money.
130
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,120
Young Master Song.
131
00:08:07,121 --> 00:08:08,279
Tell me, am I prettier,
132
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,400
or is Jiang Mei Er prettier?
133
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,000
You are. You're the prettiest.
134
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,480
And what about Jiang Mei Er?
135
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,159
Jiang Mei Er is ugly.
136
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,200
A toad, a dung beetle, a slobbering mess.
137
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,200
You... You useless piece of trash!
138
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,879
Meng Ting Hui, Yan Fu Zhi,
139
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,519
I... I was wrong.
140
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,880
She... She forced me do do this.
141
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,160
She also scalded me with boiling water before.
142
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,200
You useless pieces of trash!
143
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,280
Meng Ting Hui.
144
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,720
I'll kill you!
145
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,120
I was wrong.
146
00:08:52,121 --> 00:08:54,080
Meng Ting Hui, I was wrong.
147
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,480
I'll pay too.
148
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,000
- Take off all your jewelry. - All right.
149
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,400
Here. Help me take them off!
150
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,280
Is this enough?
151
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,920
Kowtow and admit your fault!
152
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,080
Get out of the way.
153
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,559
That kowtow was too light.
154
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:33,560
I didn't hear it!
155
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,280
I've done everything you asked.
156
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,920
Can you let us go now?
157
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,599
Why do they look like a mess?
158
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:08,680
What a pathetic sight.
159
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,240
What are you looking at?
160
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,440
There's nothing to see!
161
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,040
Walk in front! Get going!
162
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,920
Out of the way!
163
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,160
(Bofeng House)
164
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,840
One hundred and twenty.
165
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,760
Forty.
166
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,400
Twenty.
167
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,840
Ten.
168
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,720
Ten.
169
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,920
Meng Meng.
170
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,240
It's over three hundred taels.
171
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,680
Besides Wen Xiaomei's treatment,
172
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,096
it's enough to give Bofeng House a complete renovation.
173
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,120
I wonder how much...
174
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,376
these parasites have extorted from hard-working people.
175
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,720
It's only fair to take some back.
176
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,680
Think of it as robbing the rich to help the poor.
177
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,720
Take this money tonight and bring it to Wen Xiaomei.
178
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:00,920
Don't delay her treatment.
179
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,160
All right.
180
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,600
But Meng Meng,
181
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,920
you scared me to death earlier.
182
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,120
What if...
183
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:10,920
It was a trick.
184
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,359
This special phosphorus powder...
185
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,479
was originally prepared...
186
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,560
for Situ Xue's performance.
187
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,320
It just happened to come in handy.
188
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,040
Meng Meng,
189
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,840
I'm sorry.
190
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,400
I dragged you into this.
191
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,960
Shazhou is a dog-eat-dog place.
192
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,280
The Special Imperial Exam is the only way out of here.
193
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Besides,
194
00:11:28,361 --> 00:11:30,200
Jiang Mei Er won't let this go.
195
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,800
Trashing Bofeng House is not a big deal.
196
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,759
If it affects your Provincial Examination...
197
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,080
I study to become an official...
198
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,760
because I want to protect the people I care about.
199
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,560
Ten years ago,
200
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,960
I couldn't protect Xiang.
201
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,680
If I couldn't protect you today,
202
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,320
then I don't want...
203
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:50,920
to become an official.
204
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,040
Meng Meng, if only you were a boy,
205
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,600
I would definitely marry you.
206
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,160
Fu Zhi,
207
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,600
take it easy.
208
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,679
I can't breathe.
209
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,799
No, I won't let go.
210
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,800
I'll never let go for the rest of my life.
211
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,840
My Meng Meng...
212
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,280
will surely soar to great heights.
213
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,560
Then we'll go to the capital together.
214
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Let's go to the capital together.
215
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,480
Fu Zhi.
216
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:33,799
I almost forgot with all that commotion Jiang Mei Er caused.
217
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,840
I especially made your favorite apricot peel cakes.
218
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,440
These apricot peel cakes were Xiang's favorite.
219
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,320
In a few days,
220
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,560
it will be Xiang's death anniversary.
221
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,440
That day,
222
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,320
I'll go with you.
223
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,960
Close the doors and windows.
224
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,480
Keep out the thieves.
225
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,120
(Watchman)
226
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,760
Close the doors and windows.
227
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:36,360
Keep out the thieves.
228
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,600
Let go! Let go of me!
229
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,400
Let go of me!
230
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,640
Let go of me!
231
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:53,560
Let go of me! Let go!
232
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Let go!
233
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,160
Let go of me! Let go!
234
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,000
Let go of me!
235
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,720
Xiang!
236
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,600
We meet again,
237
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,920
Ms. Meng.
238
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,120
You're a con artist who'd kill for money indeed.
239
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,520
I only did it to protect myself.
240
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,480
You're far too petty, Young Master.
241
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,160
To deal with a weak woman like me,
242
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,520
you mobilized so many people.
243
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,079
Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?
244
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,360
A weak woman?
245
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,320
Young Master.
246
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:08,520
You've seen her now.
247
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,159
The Left Chancellor orders you...
248
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,480
to return to the capital tonight.
249
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,600
Wait for me outside.
250
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,120
- Young Master, it's getting late. - Get out!
251
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,440
Keep a close eye on him.
252
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,840
We must bring him back to the capital tonight.
253
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,960
- Yes! - Yes!
254
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,880
I'm petty?
255
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,479
If Huo An doesn't work for me,
256
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,880
I would have been dead by now.
257
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,599
You betray people, and you're full of schemes.
258
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,840
Even if you become an official,
259
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,560
you'll likely be a treacherous one.
260
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,480
Since you're so powerful,
261
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,896
instead of taking down Black Tiger Hall and Ding Chong,
262
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,840
you keep making things hard for a woman like me.
263
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,440
That's not much of an achievement.
264
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,160
Those who dare to deceive me...
265
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,000
can only die.
266
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,520
Why do I always run into a jinx like you?
267
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
- Just leave already! - Go!
268
00:16:17,001 --> 00:16:18,280
Can't you use the door outside?
269
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:19,919
You broke my windows and doors.
270
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,240
How am I supposed to do business?
271
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,919
Fine. Once you leave, don't come back!
272
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,160
Don't let me see you again!
273
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,320
You shameless man!
274
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:27,600
You jinx!
275
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,280
Don't come back! You're shameless!
276
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,480
After him!
277
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,240
Ms. Meng, you're quite the expert at scolding people.
278
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,440
Did you enjoy yourself?
279
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,760
To help you escape,
280
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,440
I had to sound sincere...
281
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,480
to make it look real.
282
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,440
Now, we're even.
283
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,840
Can we ever truly be even?
284
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,520
I'm thirsty. Serve some tea.
285
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,000
You're being chased, yet you're still putting on airs.
286
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:22,960
Ding Chong oppresses the people...
287
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:24,320
and commits all sorts of evil.
288
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,040
Why not go to the capital to file a complaint with the Emperor?
289
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,320
That's easy for you to say.
290
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,720
In Shazhou, without Ding Chong's travel permit,
291
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,280
I'm afraid even a fly can't fly out of here.
292
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,176
Those who sneaked off to the capital...
293
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,640
were intercepted and killed halfway.
294
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,136
It's a pity His Majesty sits high in the Hall of Supreme Harmony,
295
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,680
hearing songs of praise every day,
296
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,160
but never hearing the suffering of the people.
297
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,320
The Left Chancellor holds all the power in the Imperial Court.
298
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,000
Everything His Majesty sees and hears are filtered.
299
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,456
It's not that His Majesty is unaware of the people's suffering.
300
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,240
Someone is intentionally hiding it from him.
301
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,440
His Majesty's hands...
302
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,040
are also tied.
303
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,176
The two chancellors' pupils are intricately intertwined,
304
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,576
preaching the rigid codes of ritual propriety and moral duty.
305
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,920
I'm sure they look down on women entering the officialdom.
306
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,040
But His Majesty...
307
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,840
insists on using women as a blade...
308
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,080
to break this old, corrupt system.
309
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:23,360
In the future,
310
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,256
we must recruit more people from humble backgrounds...
311
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,400
and implement new reforms.
312
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,160
If you pass the Imperial Examination,
313
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,359
would you dare to criticize...
314
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,296
the Left Chancellor's pedantic ways in the Imperial Court?
315
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,480
I'll do more than that.
316
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,600
Darkness exists...
317
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,496
because there are people holding umbrellas in the Imperial Court.
318
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:40,640
One day,
319
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,840
when I enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony,
320
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,040
I will burn those umbrellas myself.
321
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,400
You haven't even become an official yet,
322
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,600
yet you dare to criticize the Imperial Court.
323
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,336
Good luck with the Provincial Examination.
324
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:54,360
Until we meet again.
325
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,520
I hope we never meet again.
326
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,920
He's actually a capital official.
327
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:47,680
(Imperial Ancestral Hall)
328
00:19:47,681 --> 00:19:50,680
Your Majesty has been in seclusion for five days.
329
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,960
You only have one vegetarian meal a day.
330
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,920
I am truly...
331
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,560
worried about your health.
332
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,239
You must eat properly.
333
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,400
The Left Chancellor has arrived.
334
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,040
Left Chancellor.
335
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,800
Left Chancellor.
336
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,120
You can't do this.
337
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,639
Without the Emperor's decree,
338
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,560
no one can enter Imperial Ancestral Hall.
339
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,800
- You... - Left Chancellor.
340
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,840
Please don't make things difficult for me.
341
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,240
Move aside!
342
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:43,840
Close the door.
343
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,840
(Virtue emits a fragrant aroma)
344
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:03,920
Left Chancellor.
345
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,000
It's so late.
346
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,560
Why aren't you resting yet?
347
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,159
Did you come all this way...
348
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,440
to bring me a drumstick?
349
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000
I'm about...
350
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,320
to starve to death here.
351
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,240
How ridiculous!
352
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,240
His Majesty's having too much fun in Shazhou.
353
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,520
Set off for Shazhou immediately.
354
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,039
Bring His Majesty back within five days.
355
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,040
Left Chancellor.
356
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:29,920
Just the journey to Shazhou...
357
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,720
would take more than five days.
358
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,200
Take my command token...
359
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,280
and travel day and night.
360
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:37,880
All the post stations along the way...
361
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,400
will have swift horses ready for you.
362
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Five days?
363
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,720
I...
364
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,760
You impersonated His Majesty.
365
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,040
Your crime is unforgivable.
366
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,919
You should be executed immediately!
367
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:53,920
Five days.
368
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,440
Give me five days.
369
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,759
(Shazhou)
370
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,560
Your Majesty, I am late.
371
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,560
What is the military situation?
372
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,496
There are currently ten camps stationed in Shazhou.
373
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:10,719
But the barracks are in ruins,
374
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:11,800
with no one to repair them.
375
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,800
Countless weapons and shields are left to rust in the army.
376
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,736
The funds allocated by the Imperial Court...
377
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,800
have never been used for military equipment at all.
378
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,920
Using its status as a military stronghold,
379
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,239
Shazhou makes huge demands every year...
380
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,120
for military provisions and pay.
381
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,880
Xu Ting indulges them in every way,
382
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,280
giving them whatever they ask for.
383
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,840
Yet even now, the troops and horses remain weak.
384
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,280
When one man in the Imperial Court is corrupt,
385
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,800
a part of Great Ning rots.
386
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:41,360
Your Majesty.
387
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,040
Excluding the return journey, we have two days left.
388
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,400
What should we do next?
389
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,536
Ding Chong and the Ministry of War are in cahoots.
390
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,120
They're all Xu Ting's cronies.
391
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,120
I want to see just how much dirty business...
392
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,759
is buried under the sands of Shazhou.
393
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,760
(Shazhou)
394
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,760
(Bofeng House)
395
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,440
- All right. - Here you go, miss.
396
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,440
- Thank you. - Enjoy your meal.
397
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,600
All right.
398
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:14,800
Private Room One upstairs.
399
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,200
Gentlemen, here is your wine.
400
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,120
- Enjoy. - All right.
401
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,520
Here, cheers.
402
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:22,640
Meng Meng.
403
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,959
Meng Meng, look how bustling it is.
404
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,919
I thought that after Jiang Mei Er made a big commotion,
405
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,039
it would be quiet for a while.
406
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,120
I never expected that business would be even better.
407
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,679
Now, your stepmother...
408
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,439
won't dare to egg your father on to force you into marriage, right?
409
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,440
Of course.
410
00:23:34,441 --> 00:23:36,079
I want them to look clearly.
411
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,879
Who says women can only serve their husbands and raise children?
412
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,920
We can do business and thrive just as well.
413
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,200
Why should we rely on others?
414
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,720
Well said, Ms. Yan.
415
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,159
Seeing Bofeng House's business doing so well,
416
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,160
I can rest easy.
417
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,959
I must head back to the school...
418
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:48,999
to study for the Provincial Examination.
419
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,799
Right. Meng Meng, focus on your studies.
420
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,119
Let's go to the capital together.
421
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:53,599
You'll top the Imperial Examination,
422
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,519
and I'll open branch stores. Both of us will go there.
423
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,520
Definitely.
424
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,080
I'll walk you out.
425
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,919
Officers, are you here to dine at Bofeng House?
426
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,880
We have private rooms upstairs. This way, please.
427
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,640
We're here by the order of Governor Ding.
428
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,320
Bofeng House serves unsanitary food,
429
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,616
and the building is dilapidated.
430
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,240
It is to be shut down starting today.
431
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,839
Nonsense! Bofeng House was recently renovated.
432
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,519
And I personally oversee the food quality.
433
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,520
How insolent!
434
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,560
The government office received many reports.
435
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,000
Your sophistry won't be tolerated.
436
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,880
Everyone not related to this, get out!
437
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,640
Fu Zhi.
438
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,920
They're doing this on purpose because of Jiang Mei Er.
439
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,559
We can't fight an official's order.
440
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,040
Who's in charge here?
441
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,456
You still have to take the exams.
442
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,480
I am.
443
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:38,920
I'm looking for Meng Ting Hui.
444
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,400
I am Meng Ting Hui.
445
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,800
You impersonated Situ Xue to defraud people...
446
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,240
and illegally collect money.
447
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,440
By order of Governor Ding,
448
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,679
we're taking you to Shazhou Prison.
449
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,479
This warrant says you're sealing the place, not arresting people.
450
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,360
The people of Shazhou are all watching outside.
451
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,560
You talk so much nonsense.
452
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,679
If you want to arrest anyone, take me.
453
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,799
Bofeng House is mine.
454
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,800
It has nothing to do with Meng Meng.
455
00:24:58,801 --> 00:25:00,399
She's taking the Imperial Examination in a few days.
456
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,560
She's no longer eligible for the Imperial Examination.
457
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,680
Take her away!
458
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,320
Meng Meng!
459
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,320
Meng Meng!
460
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,960
- Meng Meng! - Why is she being arrested?
461
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:13,320
- Can we still dine at Bofeng House? - Meng Meng!
462
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,480
This way, please.
463
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,120
That bastard Ding Chong.
464
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,256
Shazhou is ridden with drought. Water is like gold.
465
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,376
The people would sell their children for a mouthful of water.
466
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:32,480
Yet he wastes it like this.
467
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,320
Young Masters,
468
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:35,480
what are you chatting about?
469
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,320
We were saying...
470
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,400
that the Phoebe zhennan wood here...
471
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,600
is likely hard to find even in the Imperial Palace.
472
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:43,960
The Governor says...
473
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,736
if something's good enough for His Majesty,
474
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,040
we should have even better ones.
475
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,280
This way, please.
476
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Young Master,
477
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:54,520
I'll go and kill him right now.
478
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:11,880
Great!
479
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,600
You danced the best today.
480
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,080
I am pleased.
481
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:16,519
Rewards for everyone!
482
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,040
(A capable official in times of peace)
483
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,520
Young Master He from Beijian has arrived.
484
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,160
I'm He Du.
485
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,480
I run the largest business in Beijian.
486
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:33,496
I've just arrived in Shazhou for business.
487
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,200
I heard there's nothing you can do,
488
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,440
so I came specifically for a visit.
489
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,760
You don't look the part.
490
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,479
You came to Shazhou,
491
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,640
a godforsaken place plagued by years of drought.
492
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,760
What exactly is your business here?
493
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,280
Whether there is a drought or not...
494
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,400
depends on the Dragon King's mood.
495
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:11,880
In Shazhou,
496
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,160
aren't you the Dragon King who commands the elements?
497
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,680
You are indeed generous.
498
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,080
Tell me.
499
00:28:22,081 --> 00:28:23,361
What kind of business do you do?
500
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,760
The business I deal in...
501
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,720
is what ordinary people dare not touch.
502
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,720
To be honest, Governor Ding,
503
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,000
I take the paths the Imperial Court forbids.
504
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,880
I like doing business with those who have such audacity.
505
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:38,760
However,
506
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:39,960
Shazhou...
507
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,919
has its own rules.
508
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,000
The "rules" are here.
509
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,400
Young Master He,
510
00:28:57,401 --> 00:28:59,120
you are a man who knows how things work.
511
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,000
Then I wonder...
512
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,120
if my business in Jiuyou City...
513
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,280
will be secure?
514
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,839
In this territory of Shazhou,
515
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,680
even if the King of Hell wants a soul,
516
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,360
he must ask me first.
517
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,120
Look.
518
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,640
It's bestowed by the Left Chancellor himself:
519
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,280
"A capable official in times of peace."
520
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,879
Nowadays, even His Majesty...
521
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,280
must listen to the Left Chancellor.
522
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,880
With his backing,
523
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,240
in Shazhou,
524
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,160
I am the law.
525
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,880
So you are the Left Chancellor's favorite.
526
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,240
Then why stay in Shazhou?
527
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,760
With the Left Chancellor's power,
528
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,479
recommending you for a post in the Imperial Court...
529
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,040
would be easy.
530
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,320
You mean a promotion?
531
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,880
Those are all empty vanities.
532
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,400
How could it be...
533
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,000
as carefree and happy here?
534
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,320
In the capital,
535
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,320
I would have to kowtow to His Majesty.
536
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,400
In Shazhou,
537
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,160
everyone must kowtow to me.
538
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,920
Governor Ding, you live such a carefree life.
539
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,160
It's truly enlightening.
540
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,240
Regarding my business...
541
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,680
Uncle!
542
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,360
Uncle!
543
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,159
- Uncle! - My brother.
544
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,639
Uncle, have you arrested...
545
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:22,960
that lunatic, Meng Ting Hui, yet?
546
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,760
Can't you see I have a guest?
547
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,479
You're from prestigious families,
548
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,920
yet you can't handle an orphan girl?
549
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,160
- How embarrassing! - My brother.
550
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,760
All of Shazhou belongs to the Dings.
551
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,320
How can we let Mei Er be bullied by an orphan girl?
552
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,559
- I can't swallow this insult. - I can't endure this, Uncle.
553
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:39,680
All right...
554
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,120
I've already sent men to arrest her.
555
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,760
Crushing an orphan girl...
556
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,320
is easier than squashing an ant.
557
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,279
You should thank your uncle.
558
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,360
Thank you, Uncle...
559
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,440
I just got a new treasure.
560
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,240
- Take it. - Thank you, Uncle.
561
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,280
I'll get going.
562
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,800
- All right. - Thank you, my brother.
563
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,080
Go...
564
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,520
I've spoiled...
565
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,680
my niece rotten.
566
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:05,680
Assistant Governor Wang,
567
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,200
take Young Master He to get the travel permit for Jiuyou City.
568
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,440
Yes.
569
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,320
Thank you, Governor Ding.
570
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,120
Young Master, please follow me.
571
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,040
Hold on.
572
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:25,680
Young Master He.
573
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:26,840
Don't forget,
574
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,840
you must pay this much every month.
575
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,440
If you're short by even a penny,
576
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,600
the wild dogs in Shazhou are very hungry.
577
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,520
(Shazhou Government Office)
578
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,240
That corrupt official Ding Chong...
579
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,320
isn't just insatiably greedy.
580
00:31:48,321 --> 00:31:49,761
He even treats human life like dirt.
581
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,600
Young Master, do you know that female prisoner?
582
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,200
We must make the arrests tomorrow.
583
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:12,800
Yes.
584
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,200
This is the deed to a manor under my name.
585
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,240
Pawn it, then use the money to bail out Meng Meng.
586
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,760
Here, take this too.
587
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,400
Miss, this is the last of the dowry your mother left you.
588
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,056
Meng Meng is in trouble because of me.
589
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,159
I can't just sit by and do nothing.
590
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,239
If my mother were still alive,
591
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,959
I'm sure she would agree with my decision.
592
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,360
Doesn't Ding Chong just want money?
593
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,240
I'll give it to him.
594
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,240
Slowly.
595
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,480
- Go. - Yes.
596
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,520
- How dare you! - Madam.
597
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,040
How dare you touch the Yan family's property?
598
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,640
This is the dowry my mother left me.
599
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,720
It has nothing to do with you.
600
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,720
Yan Fu Zhi.
601
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,840
In the Yan household,
602
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,800
is there anything your father didn't work hard to earn?
603
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Look at you,
604
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,760
helping an outsider against your own.
605
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,400
How dare you!
606
00:32:57,401 --> 00:32:59,959
I'll beat you... I'll beat you to death!
607
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:02,000
Stop bullying my mother!
608
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,840
Mother...
609
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,680
Song Er, be good. Song Er, don't cry.
610
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,040
I'll have your father buy you a new one tomorrow.
611
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,760
- Take him to see Master Yan. - Yes.
612
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,440
You've offended Ding Chong,
613
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,136
and the restaurant was sealed off.
614
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,519
Do you know how much silver your father must give Ding Chong...
615
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,719
to salvage their relationship?
616
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,200
- Let's go. - Stop her!
617
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:28,640
Get out of the way.
618
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,480
- Move! - Let go of Ms. Fu Zhi!
619
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,559
Think about it.
620
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,760
Would your father risk offending Governor Ding...
621
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,000
just for the sake of Meng Ting Hui?
622
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,240
He has already arranged a good marriage for you.
623
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,160
Behave yourself and prepare to get married.
624
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,559
- Let me go. - I don't know what kind of spell...
625
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,080
that unwanted orphan girl cast on you.
626
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:51,640
At such a young age,
627
00:33:51,641 --> 00:33:53,200
she dared to hit Song'er.
628
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,119
She almost killed your brother!
629
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,240
I don't have a brother!
630
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,600
Less than seven days after my mother's death,
631
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,440
you already moved into our house.
632
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,000
It was Meng Meng...
633
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,520
who accompanied me through those difficult days.
634
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,880
I must save Meng Meng.
635
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,760
I must let her take the Special Imperial Examination.
636
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,840
- Let me go! - Meng Ting Hui offended Ding Chong.
637
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,040
She will never make it out of that prison alive.
638
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:19,880
Give up on that idea.
639
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:24,680
Wait.
640
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,200
Don't you just want to marry me off,
641
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,280
so you can have the Yan household to yourself?
642
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,640
As long as you save Meng Meng,
643
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:39,560
I, Yan Fu Zhi,
644
00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:41,520
will put on the wedding dress...
645
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,640
and never mention doing business again.
646
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,440
Now, you know how to yield?
647
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,760
Too late! Let's go.
648
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:52,920
Miss!
649
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:53,960
Miss!
650
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,720
Let me out!
651
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,199
Let me out. Meng Meng's Provincial Examination is coming up.
652
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,920
She can't stay in prison!
653
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,200
She can't be in prison!
654
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,439
Bet big, and it's one, two, three.
655
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,240
Bet small, and it's three sixes.
656
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,480
- Creepy. This is so creepy. - Creepy. This is so creepy.
657
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,160
- Drink! - Here.
658
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,160
Bottoms up!
659
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,160
Young man.
660
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,600
Let's switch places.
661
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,119
You have good feng shui there.
662
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,120
Wait.
663
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:04,440
Come here.
664
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,799
The higher-ups said no food or water for him.
665
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:10,840
But now,
666
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,160
you're making offerings to her.
667
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,560
Let's stop playing.
668
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,680
No one leaves. Let's keep playing.
669
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,119
I heard that in those cells,
670
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,840
prisoners often die accidentally.
671
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,400
Now that Meng Ting Hui has fallen into my hands,
672
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:28,840
she must be suffering a lot.
673
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:35,360
Move faster. Stop dawdling.
674
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:36,760
Who else would I slap but you?
675
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,000
- Here. - Here.
676
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,080
Young man,
677
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,560
when it comes to gambling,
678
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,520
in all of Shazhou,
679
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,200
you're top-tier.
680
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,040
- Top-tier. Amazing... - Impressive...
681
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,960
If you learn from me...
682
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,480
for two days,
683
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,560
your skills will improve drastically.
684
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:06,800
Meng Ting Hui?
685
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,120
Meng Ting Hui.
686
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,000
Let's see how you can be arrogant now.
687
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,760
Don't expect anyone to save you.
688
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,440
Yan Fu Zhi can't even save herself right now.
689
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,640
Bofeng House has been sealed off.
690
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,839
She's currently grounded, waiting to be married off.
691
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,279
Even the wedding dress is ready.
692
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,640
News of this marriage has spread all throughout Shazhou.
693
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,120
Do you really want to get out and save your dear friend?
694
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:44,560
What a pity.
695
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,000
You won't get the chance.
696
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,160
I'll keep you trapped here forever,
697
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,400
wishing you were dead.
698
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,120
Come, take a look.
699
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,480
After all that fighting,
700
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,079
didn't your handwritten resume end up in my hands anyway?
701
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,600
Give my handwritten resume back to me!
702
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:07,960
Do you want to be an official that badly?
703
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:09,880
I suppose it makes sense.
704
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,239
With your lowly background, besides the Imperial Examination,
705
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:15,000
it seems like you have no other way out.
706
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,200
But it's different for me.
707
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,120
The backer behind my uncle...
708
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,519
is the Left Chancellor,
709
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,880
who is above everyone except for one person.
710
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,080
Above any backer...
711
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:26,960
is the law.
712
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,920
If the Imperial Court learns of your crimes,
713
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,320
they'll surely uproot you...
714
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,360
along with your backer.
715
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,440
(Handwritten Resume by Meng Ting Hui)
716
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:40,920
Stop!
717
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:42,600
Stop!
718
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Stop!
719
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,160
Meng Ting Hui,
720
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,759
I easily destroyed...
721
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,840
what you cherish like a treasure.
722
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,360
Your handwritten resume is destroyed.
723
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,760
In this lifetime, don't even dream of entering the Examination Hall.
724
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,440
Mark my words.
725
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,960
As long as my uncle is around,
726
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,440
you and Yan Fu Zhi...
727
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,640
will never have a chance to turn the tables.
728
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,160
Meng Ting Hui, you...
729
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,400
Xia, quick!
730
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,600
Release the venomous snake!
731
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,080
Xia!
732
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,320
Meng Ting Hui, just wait!
733
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,000
I'll come and torture you every day!
734
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,840
I'll make your life worse than death!
735
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,360
Remember, a top-tier pickpocket must be fast.
736
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,280
Not even a red mark should be left!
737
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,120
Come here!
738
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,120
Ting Hui!
739
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:39,720
Let's go!
740
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:55,720
Ting Hui!
741
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,680
Guards! Someone escaped!
742
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:11,720
Someone escaped!
743
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,000
A prisoner has escaped!
744
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:14,720
A prisoner has escaped!
745
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,439
Who? Who escaped?
746
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,160
Meng Ting Hui. It's Meng Ting Hui!
747
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,400
Meng Ting Hui?
748
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,040
- Let's split up and find her! - Yes!
749
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:25,480
Out of the way! Move!
750
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:27,080
Everyone, move!
751
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,440
Out of the way! Move it, move!
752
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,160
A prisoner has escaped. Hurry, seal the city gate!
753
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:36,880
Close the gate!
754
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,360
Open the gate!
755
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,176
Why are you entering the city so late?
756
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,200
Where are you from?
757
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:55,760
The capital. I'm visiting relatives.
758
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,240
- Go on. - Close the gate!
