During the 16th Century
in Ming Dynasty,

government power was
manipulated by eunuchs

in a chaotic
and infuriated nation.

Brigands in Jianghu
colluded with the government.

Danger lurks in the darkness.

Ergo,

stories of love and hatred

in the turbulence and turmoil

unfold.

Big brother,

the rumor is on everyone's lips.
Is it true?

There is no truth in rumors.

But Lao San
won't give us fake news.

Song Yu hurried his way
to Shacheng.

It must be about the treasure.

Big brother,
they are already on us.

Is it too risky to

show up like this?

For a deal that even
intrigued Sun Zhi,

it's totally worth it.

Justice has long arms.

If not for missing Lu Jian,
the Ghost Three,

I would have
taken you down by now.

I never thought that

the Four Ghosts from Hejian

would hide themselves
in the gutter

just to be safe.

It must not be easy for you.

Big brother,
she is Tie, Tie, Tie.

Wrong!
I'm Sima Feiyan.

My friends in Jianghu

gave me the name,
Ghost's Sorrow.

Ghost's Sorrow.

A Royal Constable
that everyone knew about.

I see that

you're not doing better than us.

A former official, who do you
think you are to arrest us?

Government abides by laws.

Jianghu follows rules.

I'm no longer
with the government.

But you robbed
government's treasury.

And killed 25 family members
of the Anhui merchants.

Today, I'm gonna bring you back
to justice.

To justice or freedom?

It's not your call.

I forgot to tell you.

The windows here,

I had them all sealed.

Don't worry, you three.

Someone is gonna let you down
before dawn breaks.

Who?

The real Ghost's Sorrow,

Yang Xiaolou.

From Damingfu, Shandong,
the Yang Xiaolou.

Wrong, she is now the

newly appointed constable
of the Censorate.

I've sent her the message
through a dove

and asked her to clean this up.

As for me,

I'm going to Shacheng

and look for your bother
Lu Jian.

You are a joke.

You think you're gonna find him
in Shacheng.

Great, care for a bet?

I'm gonna find him
and I'm gonna find out

what he has been really up to
hiding in Shacheng.

My orders, we leave for Peking
tomorrow morning.

Young Master.

It seems rumor of the treasure
has spread in Jianghu.

In recent days,
many have been on their way

to Shacheng.

Doesn't matter.

My orders.

Everyone goes secretly.

As long as they make it
out of Shacheng,

all shall be fine.

Yes.

Sun Biao!

Sun Biao.

Giddyap.

Giddyap.

Whoa.

My lady, once we are outside
of the Shanhaiguan Pass

and go to someplace
without Sun Zhi in sight,

we will be trouble-free.

Tell me about it.

You see this Shacheng
surrounded by desert

in the Northern frontier.

It gives off vibes of Jianghu.

To be part of Jianghu,
we need to start from here.

This time in Shacheng,

we can drop by an old friend.

Let's go down this road
and look for an inn.

Giddyap.

Several men, alive, disappeared
overnight without a trace.

You expect me to believe this.

Recently, people from Jianghu

have often been seen
in Shacheng.

I think it has something
to do with these people.

People from Jianghu.

Incoming!

Your Honor, a few bodies
have been found

outside the city gate.

What?

Giddyap.
Giddyap.

-Giddyap.
-Giddyap.

-Whoa.
-Whoa.

Yezi, we stay here tonight

and enter the city tomorrow.

Okay.

Hi, anybody alive?

Come out and show yourself.

Yezi.

Stop shouting.

Remember who you are.

How many times have I told you?

Now we are out in Jianghu,

-we must--
-Lay low.

I got it, my lady.

Hello, anyone alive?
Come out.

Hello, anyone?

Hello?

Sorry, we have closed.

Hey, buddy.

It's getting dark now.

And it's all wildness out there.

Can you let us
stay here for one night?

No, I can't.
I told you we are closed.

Do you have to make me
lose my temper?

-What are you doing?
-Stop.

You are so rude.

Sorry, waiter.

It's freezing out there.

We just stay for one night.

Hu Zi, take the guests to
the room on the second floor.

Thanks, innkeeper.

Follow me.

The two-bit room is here.

Thanks.

Waiter, I'm wondering,

usually where are
the guests from?

Just people in Jianghu,
from all over the country.

My lady, anything wrong?

Miss, but what's wrong with it?

Let's go inside.

Yezi.

There is something strange
with this inn.

Strange? Have you found
something, my lady?

I smell a lot of blood
in this place.

Ah.

Is it owned by brigands?

But I didn't notice anything.

There is bloodstain
on the window frame

and pieces of broken furniture
downstairs.

Fistfights are perfectly normal
in those places.

Then how do you explain
knife cuts on the pillar?

Though the bloodstain seems
to have been there for days.

So, what should we do?

We're just here for a night.

Let's see how it goes.

Go.

Dead or alive,

is to dig the ground
three feet.

Leave no stone unturned.

Yes, Your Honor.

Go.

Young Master.

Father, what is it
that makes you so angry?

I heard that bodies have been
found outside the city gate.

Are they not Young Master
Mr. Song's people?

That's it.

Don't get yourself involved
with government stuff.

Are you going out of the city

and go about the trade market
at the border tomorrow?

Get back to your room
and have some rest.

Yes, father.

Hum.

Why is it so slow?
Where is my food?

-Buddy.
-Right up, right up.

-Which is your best wine?
-Sure, my guest.

My lady, the people in those
dresses are not locals.

Neither are we.

Don't make trouble.
Let's go.

-Okay.
-And ours.

Sure, my guest.

Wine and food.

Please enjoy.

It's early in the morning.

Who are those people?

People from Jianghu,
Seven Stars Gate from Guizhou.

The Seven Stars Gate.

They use the Seven Stars Sword.

They've got seven stars
inlaid on the pocket

of concealed weapons.

Oh.

My master, it's here.

They must be inside.

My master, what brings you?

Hey.

Who is it so brave and dare
to beat up man of Niu San?

My master, the people over
there, they beat me.

It turns out
it's just some weasels.

It turns out that
the turtles were right.

Bravo.

Yezi.

Damn it.

Fire a low shot.

What is happening?

Wow, my master.

What are you doing here?

These people out of nowhere

beat up my man on my turf.

I am here to investigate a case.

Come.

Bring them back to the court.

Yes.

Behave yourself.

-Go.
-Yezi.

-Let's go.
-Go.

Stop.

You two have to come with me.

Why arresting us?

Why?

People have died in Shacheng.

You are all suspects.

Ok, we will go with you.

And I get to meet my old friend.

Hum, old friend.

Your Honor.

Take the guests
to the inner chamber.

Yes.

All in all,
The Chief Eunuch sabotaged us.

There is no place for us
in the central plains.

We had to leave.

Uncle Ping, my dad
always talked about you.

He said that you have integrity
rarely seen those days.

But how come you have been
dispatched to

a border town like this?

Did you offend someone?

Feiyan, integrity
is hard to keep.

I understand.

I never thought that
in this border city

I can have some peace after all.

To tell you the truth,

it's just as unsettling.

Uncle Ping, what is it
that bothers you so much?

Not now.

Come, food and wine.

My lady, why the His Honor
Mr. Wu seemed so hesitant?

It was obvious that
he wanted your help,

but he faltered every time
he tried to say it.

Because he knows I'm retired.

I won't be of any help.

There is no point asking.

My lady, I know deep down
you want to help.

Am I right?

Want to help and be able
to help are different.

You and I can't even
save ourselves.

We'd be lucky enough to keep him
out of our own trouble.

This time we came to Shacheng.

If not for catching Lu Jian,

I'd rather choose to avoid him.

-Who's there?
-It's me.

Buqing!

Yes, Sister Feihua.

Come.
Let's talk inside.

I've changed my name.
It's Sima Feiyan now.

You may call me Sister Feiyan
from now on.

Sima Feiyan.

By the way,
I know you never lie.

I want to ask you something.

Has Uncle Ping recently

run into some kind of trouble?

Set roadblocks

on all roads
leading to the capital.

Your Honor, with so many death,

we won't be able to hold up
the news for long.

Have the roadblocks set anyway.

No matter Song Yu
is alive or dead.

Feiyan, Buqing.

Father.

Buqing, leave us.

Yes, father.

Uncle Ping,

even though I no longer
hold any official position,

I'm more than willing
to help you out.

You shouldn't have
held back from me.

Feiyan, come and sit.

Feiyan.

Me, I never wanted you
to get involved.

But Buqing got you worried.

So, I'll just be truthful
with you.

Maybe this is meant to be.

Sun Zhi's nephew, Song Yu,

came to the border for business

and stopped by Shacheng.

I arranged temporary
accommodation for him

on the outskirts.

Three days ago,
on his way back to the inn,

he disappeared mysteriously.

But according
to the inn's people,

Song Yu never returned
to the inn that night.

True.

Song Yu came here,
for what kind of business?

I didn't know Song Yu before.

And this is only
an official reception.

It's not my place to ask.

Are there any other leads then?

After inspection, on the way
back to the inn from the county,

we found signs of blood
and struggle.

And yesterday

we found several bodies
just outside the town.

Your Honor, look at this.

On site, apart from bodies
of the entourage,

we also found a headless body
in Song Yu's clothes.

And Song Yu is still missing.

Is the headless body Song Yu?

How can you tell
without the head?

In those days,
when I was entertaining him,

we had a few meals together.

He was very forthright,

often rolled up his sleeves

and drank from the jar.

I remember clearly,

that he had a birthmark
on his left arm.

The birthmark

was scarlet and round-shaped.

That's why I can remember
so vividly.

Where are the other bodies?

-Uncle Ping.
-Yes?

Are you sure these people
were Song Yu's entourage?

Positive.

They came with Song Yu.
I knew all of them.

The top-ranking officials
among them were Tier 6.

Higher than me.

But apart from knife wounds,

there are also crossbow
arrow marks on the bodies.

It's obviously done
by Jianghu people.

Head Constable Xu also
suspected Jianghu people.

Uncle Ping, there's one thing
I cannot figure out.

I need your insight.

What is it?

I found recently a large number
of Jianghu people

have come to Shacheng.

What are they here for?

Well, I don't know either.

But these people have been

making trouble ever since
they came here.

I need to figure out a way
to drive them away.

Feiyan, if I cannot
close this case,

I might lose my job,
but it's fine.

I'm afraid to implicate
Buqing though.

I've made up my mind.

If anything happens to me,

I want you to protect
and take care of Buqing.

Since you plan
to cross the border,

maybe you could
take Buqing with you.

I'm not leaving.

We two, father and son,
stay together as one.

Buqing, it's not the time
for you to act on impulse.

Father.

If I leave you now,

what kind of son am I?

And Sister Feiyan would despise
me for the rest of my life.

Uncle Ping, let's not get ahead
of ourselves just yet.

Song Yu's death

has nothing to do with you two.

Even if Sun Zhi sent people here
to investigate,

they would be after the killers.

So, our priority now

is to find the killers.

How would you like
to proceed then?

How far is it from here
to Shacheng and to the inn?

The inn is 3km away in the east

and Shacheng is 5km away
in the west.

Which means

one must pass through the forest
to get to downtown.

Sure.

Here, this is where we found
the signs of blood

and struggle.

No, this scene is staged.

What?

My lady, I feel the same way.

What did you find?

If there was a fight here

and blood splashed
onto the tree leaves,

how come the tree branches
nearby are still intact?

Exactly.

Besides, if a person

is killed by blade,

his blood should be splashed,

not in flakes,

which is sufficient to prove

that this crime scene is staged.

Lady Sima, you mean

someone is trying to mislead us?

Also,

this is not human blood

but rather chicken
and dog blood.

What?

Constable Xu,
I need to go back to the inn.

-To the inn?
-Yes.

I need to do some
secret investigation.

But it's better
that you stay behind.

Giddyap, giddyap.

Whoa.

Buddy, open up.

Sorry, My Lady,
we are fully occupied.

Hey, are you trying
to mess up with me?

No, you've got me wrong.

It's for your own good
not to let you in.

You stop us,
you can't mean anything good.

I guess you are forcing me
to be unladylike.

Excuse me.

I didn't realize you have
such a gathering here.

You go ahead
and don't mind us.

Buddy, we want two bowls
of noodles.

All right.

Yes, coming.

It's so weird.

So many more people
have come overnight.

Who are they?

The men behind you
are with Jujietang.

The couple over there
are from Wushuang Sword Sect.

The man sitting alone behind me
is Feng Yizhen.

Those two tables by the stairs

are taken by Wuhumen
and Chutianmeng people.

My lady,

you didn't even look

yet you've got
all the information.

I took one glance
while stepping in.

Since we have all agreed,

let's do this by the rules.

I'm from Wuhumen, and I would
like to take the first battle

with fellows from Jujietang.

Let's cut the crap

and see what you've got.

They started fighting
just like that.

What kind of rules are these?

Your noodles.

Please enjoy.

Hey, buddy,

what are these people here for?

Recently many Jianghu people
traveled here

to search for treasure.

Fighting happens all the time.

Treasure?
What treasure?

I really don't know.

Mind your own business.

Eat your noodles.

OK.

Fellows from Jujietang are
gracious enough to let me win.

I wonder which one of you
wants to go next.

Wushuang Sword Sect, please.

My lady, what do you think
is going on here?

They are fighting
each other one by one.

They won't go too far.

The ones who lose
will know better than

to go to extremes.

Eh.

Let's go.

Young Master Mr. Qin.

If you are not feeling up to it,

we can skip this round.

Using hidden weapons,
that's not fair.

That's Chutianmeng's
Circling Fan.

Yezi, let's go.

Eh? My lady, I thought we were
investigating the case.

It's too chaotic today.
Leave it to tomorrow.

All right.

Ladies, please wait.

You would like to waste
your time fighting each other.

It has nothing to do with us.

I just want you two
to bear a witness here.

See which one of us,
me or the annoying herbalist,

gets to win.

We are just passing by.

We don't want any trouble.

Let's go.

My lady.

I know you.

You are the one
from the capital.

You've mistaken me
for someone else.

My name is Sima Feiyan.

Sima Feiyan.

Like I just said,
we don't want any trouble.

Only passing by.

Revealing my identity
does you no good.

Excuse me.

You are all here.

It saves me a lot of trouble
searching for you.

You've provoked fighting,
caused trouble,

and damaged Shacheng's
public security.

Come, take them all
back to the court.

Yes, sir.

Your Honor,

we are just comparing notes.

Your Honor,

we really are not
making trouble.

Just after enough
food and drinks,

we want to spend some time
comparing notes.

Comparing notes?

Yes.

His Honor asked me
to come protect you.

Thanks.

I still have something to say.

Please head back first,
Constable Xu.

Ok then.

You'd better know your place
and behave yourselves.

There are other people
doing business in the inn.

Cut out all this fighting.
It's improper.

Let's go.

Innkeeper, get us a room.

Sure, no problem.

The other year in Junzhou,

I remember catching some
of you people with Chutianmeng.

You were one of them.

You should be in jail right now.

How did you get out?

Did you pay your way out?

If you don't want
to go back to jail,

next,

I ask, you answer.

No holding back, no lies.

I want to know

the treasure
you were talking about.

What is it?

There have been rumors
in Jianghu

that a fortune
from Country Yehuan

was buried in quicksand.

A celestial master asked
the God's will and figured out

the quicksand would retreat
every forty-nine years

and the city would reappear,

but only for
a very short period.

That's why every
forty-nine years

there would be
people searching for

the immense fortune.

Just a rumor

drags you all the way down here?

Anyhow, we are determined
to search for the treasure.

This year is exactly
the forty-ninth year.

The next time
would be in next life.

Fine.

I have more questions for you.

Since you live here,

have you met a man

named Song Yu

with a capital accent,
a little fat,

and with servants accompanied?

We moved in only the day
before yesterday.

Uncle Ping,

did Song Yu come to Biancheng
for the treasure?

That was merely
a rumor passing by

that caused disturbances.

Ah.

Feiyan, do you have any clue?

From the wound,

it was done by people
from Jianghu for sure,

but the trace left on the
official road was intentional.

If Song Yu was not taken
on the official road,

I doubted that.

The primary scene
must be in the inn.

I will send people to seal up
the inn immediately,

and people who stayed at the inn
in the past few days

will be arrested for question.

Wait.

The disappearance of Song Yu
must have some hidden facts.

Our aim is to find him

without acting rashly.

If people seized him found out
and hurt him

that would be bad.

How are you planning
to find Song Yu?

I'm planning to stay at the inn
for a couple of days

and have a look at the rooms
of Song Yu and his servants.

Since there was the crime scene,

it might be dangerous.

Only danger
brings opportunities.

Officials from the court
notified us already,

but the guest
staying in this room

is not willing to move out.

We could only open the door
for you while he isn't around.

Here it is.

Thanks.

No. It's not right.

If the sound was so loud,

the bodyguards would
rush in immediately.

From the traces
left beforehand

the bodyguards
never entered this room.

Were they killed before
Song Yu was attacked?

If they were killed before that,

then...

Come on.
Bottoms up.

This is pretty much
the whole thing.

But by far,

other bodies
have all been found.

Everyone else's body was found.

And within several miles
from here,

there's no place for hiding
people or bodies.

I can tell the primary scene
should be the inn.

Song Yu could only disappear
from the inn.

But

who would have done this?

Where would they hide Song Yu?

How about this?

I will send people to search
all over the place

as soon as possible.

It would be more dangerous
as time passes by.

Well, we will wait for you.

I told you I should be with you.

There are so many constables
that are responsible

for the security of the court.

Who could possibly hurt
His Honor Mr. Wu and his son?

Why must I protect them?

Now we are under the light,
and they hide in the dark.

We cannot let our guards down.

Besides, the man
who kidnapped Song Yu

might come to destroy
the evidences

in the magistrate court
and assassinate.

I was more relieved
if you were here.

Well...

My lady, you haven't
slept the whole night.

Have some rest.

Um.

Buqing.

Sister Feiyan, while you are
staying in the inn these days

are you thinking that something
is wrong with the inn?

Why do you ask?

I heard it
from Head Constable Xu.

He said
the inn was the crime scene

hidden with dangers.

I was worried about you.

Sister Feiyan,

these days I keep thinking of

the scenes you protected me
when I was young.

You were introverted then
and weak.

Sister Feiyan,

although I was protected by you
since I was young,

never being bullied,

I actually was not weak
as you and father thought.

I don't mean you are weak.

A man has a strong body
or skillful Kung Fu skills.

That is one man's power.

Words are for conveying
the truth, and with knowledge

and talent,
a country can thrive.

Intellectuals are
the foundation for a country.

I intended to take
the imperial exam.

However, things happen.

Father was humiliated,
and I was also involved.

There was no hope
for official career.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

As long as you have
something in mind,

there will be opportunities.

You are absolutely right,
Sister Feiyan.

As the old saying goes,

how can a sparrow understand
the ambition of a swan?

Are you sure it's Song Yu?

Your Honor, I saw the birthmark.

The birthmark.

Giddyap.

Giddyap.

Whoa.

There is no bloodstain
all along the way

until here.

That means these bodies are
moved here.

Why is the killer so ruthless?

Killing is not enough,
he dismembered them.

Was it for covering
the identity of Song Yu?

No.

If it was for hiding,

the bodies couldn't
be left here.

Even the most symbolic arms
were left.

Why did the murderer
dismember them?

He did it for deceiving us
and making them easy to move.

Deceiving us.

Were they carried
from inside the town?

Constable Xu,
carry these bodies back

and piece them together
carefully.

See if there were
any missing parts.

Ok.

His hands and feet were cut off
before he was dead.

The blood could not circulate.

The most deadly cut
was on the neck.

It was so skillful
and the cut was accurate.

Why do you say that?

Only one cut.

He bled to death soon after.

Keep going.

When dismembering,

each cut was done
from the joint,

never touching the bone.

So...

So, the killer must use
knife very often.

Not exactly. Look closer.

From the section of the cut,

the murderer is supposed to hold
the knife with his left hand.

A left-hander.

Yes.

It's the smell of lard oil.

It's a butcher.

Yezi, you finally began
to understand.

The knife was covered with oil.

It should be something
he often uses,

not something
he grabbed randomly.

And killing needs
a lot of strength.

Butcher

is more likely than a cook.

Yes.

Feiyan,

are you also suspecting

the murderer
is one of the butchers?

Uncle Ping,

I cannot tell you right now.

I need more clues.

Um.

Fine.

Who do you think
is the most suspicious?

I have no answer yet.

What are you planning
to do next?

Test.

Ah, Brother Wu.

Sorry, I mistook you
for someone else.

What are you doing?

When attacked unexpectedly,

for a person with
or without Kung Fu,

the reaction would
be totally different.

Butcher Jia definitely has
no Kung Fu skills.

Ah, Lao Wang, go drink?

Oh, I'm sorry I mistook you
for someone else.

Hey, how are you doing?

Hey, Lao Wu?

Sorry, I made a mistake.

My lady.

Butcher Wang seemed to know
no Kung Fu skills either.

No, he knows,

very well

and is good at hiding
his instinctive reaction.

This Butcher Wang

needs to be questioned
carefully.

Hey, Lao Wu,
let's go for a drink.

Why did you hit me?

I just mistook you
for someone else!

Go away.

Butcher Sun is left-handed
as expected.

My lady, forget it,

if we did dig something out,
I wasn't hit for nothing.

Why don't we tell His
Honor Mr. Wu right away?

Because I cannot tell

is it Butcher Wang
or Butcher Sun.

Haven't we tested them?

Don't forget, Butcher Wang
is a Kung Fu master.

Maybe he uses left hand
very often,

and to frame someone else,

he used left hand also
while committing the murder.

That makes sense.

Indeed, it belongs to Song Yu.

He wore it around the waist.

So it's Butcher Sun.

Maybe he was also part of
the killing at the inn.

Shacheng is a presidio
in the first place.

Many criminals freed
settled down here.

This Butcher Sun

has a criminal record
of hurting others

and was exiled to Shacheng.

Later he became a new man

and was released from jail
ahead of time.

Then he had a home here.

Now that he got married
after jail,

he should have lived his life.

Why getting back to this again?

As long as there was
enough money,

he is willing to take the risk.

Who would hire him?

The answer...

would be clear
after interrogation.

No, Uncle Ping,

now is not the perfect moment
for arresting him.

We should wait for the big fish
to bite the bait.

Yo.

Young lady, it's you again.

Yes.

I cannot find better wine
elsewhere.

I come to buy some wine.

Sure.

Our wine comes from the market
at the boundary

delivered directly
from the border market

Your meat is also good.

Thanks for patronizing us
this whole time.

I'm in a hurry,
please get the wine for me.

Oh, by the way,

I just saw a guy

delivering beef and lamb here.

Didn't you tell me

that you butcher your
own cattle here?

When it gets busy,

we ask butcher shops in town
for delivery.

Here you go.

Ok, thanks.

Take care.

Lu Jian?

How did you know it's him?

His knuckles are black,

his little finger is always off
when holding things.

It's a habit from practicing
Ghosty Four-Fingers,

which is also the signature of
Lu Jian, the Ghost Three.

You followed the criminal
to Shacheng.

And the criminal you are after
is just at the inn.

What a coincidence.

It's not a coincidence.

Lu Jian is the most cunning
and greedy of the four Ghosts.

He traveled all the way here.

It must be a fat deal.

There is definitely something
wrong with the inn.

The man behind Lu Jian
and Butcher Sun

can't be simple.

I'll go to the inn again tonight

to see if there are
any other clues.

Mr. Feng, please accept
Sima Feiyan's visit.

Many apologies for last time.

Today I prepare some humble wine
for a formal apology.

In this Jianghu,

I will inevitably need
my friends' help.

Especially those
from the Fengchi Heights.

I have admired your reputation
for a long time.

Mr. Feng?

He just died.

Sima Feiyan, you murdered him.

Sima Feiyan didn't kill him.

Then who?

It's her.

It must be her.

I can't believe
she's a murderer.

It can't be wrong, it's her.

OK, quiet.

You discussed
for quite some time,

but who actually

witnessed Sima Feiyan
committing murder?

What you just saw

is that she is the first
to appear at the crime scene.

While the criminal may had
just escaped the scene.

Come.

Take the suspect
and the body of the victim

back to the county court.

Yes!

I can't leave.

The murderer will definitely
take other actions.

How can I do nothing and see him
take other people's lives?

But, but even your own life
is in danger.

I am already investigating
Butcher Sun.

I'm getting to
the bottom of this.

I have arrested his wife.

You are alerting our enemy.

That's exactly what I want,

to make Butcher Sun
give himself away.

Oh no, he may want to escape.

I've expected it.

I've already issued an order
to block the town.

Halt!

Don't move.

Stop him!

Stop!

Don't even try.

Keep him alive!

Your Honor.

I want to meet
Butcher Sun's wife.

Well...

Yeah, that's OK.

Your Honor, Butcher Sun's wife
hanged herself.

What?

Feiyan.

This case has to close here.

I'll close it.

Sister Feiyan.

You've been sitting here
for a few hours.

What are you thinking?

Buqing, Uncle Ping in your view

is a good official or not?

Who?

In this corrupted world,

it's very difficult
to be a good official.

If given the choice,

I'd rather he wasn't an official

whether good or bad.

Thief!

Protect His Honor!

Father!

My friend.

I am also from Kuaiyitang.

I've long heard of the genius
female constable

of the Censorate.

Excellent as
her male colleagues.

Your reputation
is well-deserved indeed.

I have one thing
yet to figure out.

Please enlighten me, my friend.

Buqing.

Ms. Yezi,

please leave us
and close the door.

Yezi, send a letter for me out
of town later.

Where to?
Who should I look for?

Go straight east
after going out of town.

Someone will meet you there.

Whoa!

His Honor, Mr. Wu has ordered
to block the town for a month.

Unless issued a special paper,
no one is allowed in or out.

Cut the nonsense!

Giddyap!

Stop!

Feiyan.

What's the matter
at this time of night?

Uncle Ping.

What did Song Yu come
to Shacheng for?

I told you already.
I don't know.

Song Yu disappeared
from the inn.

And the inn is full
of your people.

I wonder what you came
to Shacheng for?

It was true that you offended
the Hangzhou Magistrate.

Originally, you were sent
to Qiantang.

But you wouldn't go
to such a nice place.

Rather, you asked everyone
you can to request for you

so that you could come
to this town at the border.

Why?

Great.

You were checking up on me.

I just think about the clues
from these few days

over and over again.

And all the doubts pointed
to a single person.

It was you.

Besides, it was you who invited
Song Yu to Shacheng.

Me?

I barely know him.

Would he come if I asked?

Yes.

Because of the treasure.

Now that I was
asking him a favor,

why would I kill him?

Because you know very well

that Sun Zhi is a ruthless man.

Even if he got the treasure,

he wouldn't allow
your promotion,

but would rather kill you so
that he could have the treasure

all to himself.

But...

before killing Song Yu,

you needed to find the two
treasure maps first.

So you captured him and
tortured him for information.

But my investigation
disrupted your plan

because I found so many clues.

You couldn't execute your plan.

So you killed Song Yu
out of necessity,

to avoid giving yourself away.

I'll pretend that I am
just hearing a story.

To prevent me from
investigating further,

you devised a murder case
to frame me for it

just to make me leave.

Of course,

it might be for another reason
that you killed them.

Because you were afraid

that if they stay
at the inn for too long

and discovered the clues
to the two treasure maps.

Especially Feng Yizhen,
who lived in Song Yu's room.

Like manipulating a puppet
on a string,

you let Constable Xu
to do all these things.

Butcher Sun and his wife

are also killers hired by you.

Butcher Sun is the one
who dismembered Song Yu.

You killed Butcher Sun
and his wife

and covered up the whole thing.

It can only mean that before
you asked Song Yu here,

you already had
those two treasure maps

and you made a copy
for both of them.

You are really worthy of your
title of Royal Constable.

A tiger's daughter
is no kitten indeed.

When my father was alive,

he respected you for your
courage and integrity.

He would feel sorry for you
in Heaven.

Feiyan, don't bother
to persuade me.

If you didn't see
that half of the map

real and clear,

you wouldn't blabber
about the treasure map.

So...

you must have that map.

Your Honor.

Hmmm?

You wanted to send her away

and ask me for an explanation
all by yourself.

You are a loyal friend,

aren't you?

Give me that half
of the treasure map,

and I will spare your life.

Uncle Ping, don't be
obsessed with wrong desires,

think about Buqing.

You won't give me that half?

All right.

Then I'll give you mine.

In this desert,

when the wind blows up the sand,

the landscape will change many
times within a single day.

Even for me,

it will take quite some time
to figure out the map.

I don't know about
the Five Elements.

But you...

you are the best guide.

So what's your plan

before Sun Zhi comes here?

Is it to find the treasure

and then send us
out of the border,

or to send us to death

and frame me for Song Yu's death

so that you can explain
everything to Sun Zhi?

Young Master.

Let me in!

Father!

I won't let you
hurt Sister Feiyan.

We can't even
preserve ourselves

and you want to play the hero
that saves the beauty?

-Come!
-Yes, sir.

Take him away!

Yes, sir.

Young master.

Sister Feiyan!
I will get you out.

Trust me, Sister Feiyan!

Sister Feiyan!

I'll get you out, trust me!

Tomorrow is the 49th year
of Tianyun,

the day when Country Yehuan
appears again.

If you can't find the treasure,

you two will be
buried in the sands.

The Compass of the Five Elements
has three dials and three hands.

The Dial of the Earth is for
setting the direction.

The Dial for the Man
is for dispersing the sand.

The Dial for the Heaven
is for gathering the water.

As indicated in this map,

the location of Country Yehuan

is completely against the law of
Earth, man, and heaven.

Yin and Yang do not meet
to form a fortune knot,

neither do they merge.

It's a place
of great misfortune.

No wonder the nation's fortune
couldn't last for 60 years.

If the treasure really
goes to a person,

it will be treasure
of misfortune.

Here is the former site
of Country Yehuan.

Ok, everyone listen carefully.

This direction,

keep digging!

Master, we just found
the entrance to the cave!

Guard it strictly.

-Allow no one in or out.
-Yes!

Uncle Ping.

Don't say anything.

At this point
there is no way back.

Go ahead, lead us.

Be careful!

Uncle Ping, this place is
dangerous, it's not worth it.

If I don't make it,

Buqing will die, too.

Be careful!

Let's go.

Uncle Ping.

I was wrong about one thing
from the beginning.

What?

It wasn't you
who killed Song Yu.

Of course it was me.

No,

all you wanted
is promotion and fortune.

Even if Sunzhi
wanted to kill you,

you wouldn't do this,

because you agreed beforehand.

Only the man who killed Song Yu

not only bought over
your people at the inn

but also Constable Xu.

So your plan didn't
work as you expected

I don't know what
you are talking about.

After Song Yu missed,
you indeed panicked.

That's why deceived me
to help you.

It's just when you knew

it was him who killed Song Yu

you destroyed all evidence

and set me up.

Everything you are doing has
nothing to do with the treasure

or promotion or fortune.

It was about protecting him.

That's not true...

but just your wild guess.

Go!

Go.

What's this place?

Buqing?

Dad.

I told you,
don't get into this!

Father, don't be mad.

We are family.

We share and share alike.

Enough!

You should've believed me.

Sister Feiyan, I told you

I could protect you.

Once we have the treasure,

we can go anywhere.

We can go outside
of the Shanhaiguan Pass

and establish a small country.

I will be the emperor
and you will be my empress.

Shut up!

You are driving me crazy.

Father, you still don't get it.

The officialdom is so difficult.

The world is a mess.

Why keep forcing yourself?

My silly child,

you know what you are doing.

You are selling
your country out.

Such a country
isn't worth my loyalty.

Young Master Wu.

All those in the inn have been
bought or replaced by us to

ensure our plan goes right.

Good.

Song Yu is already dead.

When Country Yehuan appears,

we can go for the treasure.

Our master will you help you be
the ruler of the country.

Hope you get what you want.

That's for sure.

In the future, Xiwu,

when you attack
Ming will be your

most loyal grain depot
and intelligence stations.

Sister Feiyan, don't you worry.

I won't give you to Sun Zhi.

But we do need a bit of time

to enable our kingdom.

Buqing, it is not too late.

I am still your sister.

I will be with you
when you turn yourself in

at the magistrate court.

Sister Feiyan,
I can do anything you want

except for this.

Uncle Ping, Buqing.

So many years at the officialdom

after all kinds of difficulties,
I am still safe.

A small Shacheng
is nothing to me.

I let you use Yezi
to threaten me

just to buy some time

to make you see.

It seems that...

it was all in vain.

No more. There is
no turning back for me.

But Yezi's life

is still up to you.

Right.

I have Yezi.

It is just when
we got out of Shacheng,

she was already safe and sound.

What? So.

I asked for the favor
of a Jianghu friend

who tried to kill you.

That's ok.
You are still in my hands.

And the treasure
is still in there.

Go, find it.

Go.

We found the treasure!

Treasure!

Ah, it is gold!

Treasures, treasures!

Feiyan, you are my empress.

Everyone surrenders himself to us.

Nobody dares disobey!

My calvary, my calvary!

My two calvaries!

Why don't I have such fantasies?

Is it something in here

that amplified
their inner desires?

Or...

it is because I
don't have desires

so I can't see any fantasies?

Glowing pearl!

Luminous pearl,
gold bar, gold bar.

All mine, all mine!

My throne!

My throne!

Uncle Ping, Uncle Ping,
you wake up!

Wake up!

Uncle Ping, wake up please!

Quicksand is coming.

Country Yehuan
is about to disappear.

Quicksand?

All mine!

Come down, go,
the quicksand is coming!

I am not leaving.

I can't stay
at Shacheng forever.

Go off!

Father!

Uncle Ping!

Father!

Uncle Ping!

Son...

I was wrong.

It was me who led you

deep into this.

You are still young.

There is turning back.

Go with Feiyan.

Forget everything here.

Uncle Ping, rest assured,
I promise you,

I'm going to take
the green step.

Thank you.

Father!

Father!

Uncle Ping, Uncle Ping!

Father!

Father...

Come on, let's go!

Father, let's go.
You wake up, go, father.

Father!

-Come on.
-I am not leaving.

Come on!

Buqing, come on, that way!

Let go of me!

It is about to collapse!

Come with me now!

Wu Buqing!

Look out!

Go!

-Don't go in there!
-Let go!

Buqing!

Be careful!

Danger!

Come back!

Buqing!

Come back!

Buqing!

Don't go inside!

No way.

Where is it?

There's gotta be treasure,
there's gotta be treasure.

There must be!

Buqing!

I see.

Here records a country's

words, history,
and cultural beliefs.

These are the real treasure.

There's gotta be, gotta be!

Buqing!

Buqing, it is collapsing!

Come on!

-Go!
-I am not leaving.

-Come with me.
-There must be treasure.

I am not leaving.
There must be treasure!

Buqing!

Wu Buqing!

Buqing, Buqing!

Sister Feiyan.

Go. Listen to me.

Go out, the second stone gate.

Then turn right and go straight,

you will get to the inn.

That is how I got here.

When dealing with Songyu's body,

I found it by surprise.

Buqing, I will take you
out of here.

I will always be with you,

if you don't forget me.

Tell those greedy idiots

there is no treasure here.

Don't let them get killed
for nothing.

Only if you are out,
you can save them.

Go!

-Buqing!
-Go!

Go!

Come on.

Wu Buqing!

It's me, Sister Feihua.

I won't let you hurt
Sister Feiyan.

Sister.

As the old saying goes,

how can a sparrow understand
the ambition of a swan?

Have you seen my lady?

You, see my lady?

No, no, no.

Innkeeper.

Innkeeper, did you see my lady?

I didn't.

My lady!

Lu Jian.

It was you.
Justice has long arms.

Everyone!

The treasure of Country Yehuan
is just a rumor.

You may quit.

But today,

let's see if you want it.

See if you want it.

He is a wanted man of the court.

I have notified

the Chief Constable Yang Xiaolou
from the Censorate.

If you hand this man to her,

that is quite a favor.

Miss Sima, how about
handing him over to me?

OK.

Thank you for your help,
my friend.

Welcome.

One thing I don't understand.

You could have left all of this.

Why took the risks?

Because I wanted to give the
father and the son a chance.

But in the end,

reason was defeated by desire.

So there is nothing
that I can do.

What a pity.

The treasure is
just some useless paper.

No. If Yehuan people want
to re-establish their country,

they can't rely
on gold and silver

but rather on the paper
you referred to.

Right.

So where will you go?

Suzhi will have his people
to guard the city gates.

Won't be easy to get out.

Even if you're lucky,

they will surely come after you.

I'm not leaving.

Since he won't let me go,

I will stay here to be
the trouble for him.

OK.

Kuaiyitang will always
be your friend.

Thanks. Take care.

Take care.

Giddyap!

Giddyap!

Giddyap!
