[Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty]

[Episode 5]

Because of the Chang'an black tea,

I offended most of the officials

in the court.

I heard that Her Highness is very angry.

His Majesty is also blaming me for being nosy.

What?

Do you regret it?

No.

Xijun is the apple of my eyes.

As long as I can save her,

I will die for her without regrets.

You love your daughter so much.

I will do my best to help you.

I trust you.

Because you are Detective Di's disciple.

At tonight's ghost marriage,

you must ensure that my daughter will be

safe and sound.

I swear with my life

that Miss. Xijun will be safe without a scratch.

Xiao.

I'm coming.

The nether marriage in Chang'an must pass by the Ghost Market.

Are you afraid, Miss. Xijun?

As long as I can live happily forever with Xiao,

I fear nothing!

Lift the palanquin.

Magistrate Yuan.

[Magistrate's Residence, Chang'an]

Magistrate Yuan.

Sheriff Su.

What brought you here?

I'm here to have a drink with you.

I'm not in the mood today.

Because you are upset?

How did you know?

Don't worry.

It's not because of your health.

It's all because of

this special day.

I have followed my teacher, Detective Di,

for almost ten years.

Every 15th day of the 7th lunar month, the Hungry-Ghost Festival,

my teacher would feel uncomfortable.

On that day he always asked me to have a drink with him.

And he would feel a lot better.

I've sent my servant to buy us some food and wine.

He'll send them over now.

Thank you for going to this expense.

Come on in, please.

Mythical beast is here!

It's here!

The Tiger Subduing Beast is here!

It can even eat a tiger!

Run!

Why are you still here?

Tiger is the king of all beasts.

There can't be a beast that can eat tigers

in this world.

Smart.

Why have I never thought of it in that way?

All you need to do is protect the palanquin,

and wait for me to kill this beast.

Yes.

Could it be that it's not an illusion?

Mighty General.

Leave four guards here.

The rest of you fight together with me.

Kill the bandits!

Yes.

General.

Stop chasing.

There could be a trap.

Miss. Xijun.

Are you alright?

Miss. Xijun.

Pei Xijun.

Where is she?

This...

Where did she go?

I asked the four of you to guard the palanquin.

What happened?

I didn't see anyone

kidnap the bride.

Yes.

I didn't even blink.

Could it be...

A ghost?

That's right.

Today is the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Did the bride be kidnapped by a ghost?

General of the Imperial Guards.

Look below the palanquin.

Move the palanquin.

Yes.

General.

Wait.

The secret tunnel in the Ghost Market is dangerous.

Put on your golden armor to protect yourself.

All of you can go back first.

This...

Wait again.

The secret tunnel

is full of traps and tricks.

I'm useful. You should take me with you.

You mean

we are useless in the tunnel?

Nonsense!

I killed the villian with my own hands.

Yes.

How can you say we're useless?

I'll go.

Me too.

Me too.

And me.

No.

I can't drink anymore.

I'm going to bed.

Let me help you.

No need.

Brother.

Today is a special day.

I mean throughout the year,

only tonight, the yinqi is the strongest.

When I was following my teacher,

I had to attend to him

by the bed.

But I'm not Detective Di.

I dare not ask you to attend to me.

Brother,

I'm your subordinate.

You are no difference from my teacher.

Brother,

You're still here?

I'll be here for you all night.

I won't leave until dawn.

You're so considerate.

No sleep.

Let's go.

Let's have some tea together.

Are we going to drink Chang'an black tea?

Chang'an black tea?

That's too expensive.

I don't have it.

Brother.

Brother.

Come and take a look.

What is this?

Brother.

What is this?

What are you...

Blood.

Greetings, Immortal Venerable.

You guys,

ambush outside.

Whoever kills Lu Lingfeng

will be heavily rewarded.

Yes.

What a beautiful bride!

Congratulations on becoming a god tonight.

You have something to say?

You can say it.

Let go off me.

My father is the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Administration.

What a high-ranking official!

I'm so scared.

This is Lady Shiyi's unique skill.

You can't make a sound

within two hours.

But you can keep looking at me.

and yourself.

Immortal Venerable, you can focus on making tea,

and I'll kill Su Wuming.

Forget it.

Su Wuming has a complicated knowledge.

He even knows Yin and Yang.

We don't have to

kill him ourselves.

Let him

flow into the dark river along with water,

and be eaten by the fish in the Qu River.

It's a quick death for him.

Can you smell

the fragrance on this red cloth?

This spice can keep your body from decaying.

Remember to be grateful.

Wait.

I am nobody.

You can kill me anytime.

What's the rush?

Su Wuming, Sheriff of Chang'an.

Greetings, Magistrate Yuan.

The mask of Fang Xiang God you wear

is for the bride, right?

Take it off.

Let's be honest today, OK?

Su Wuming.

You don't feel dizzy at the sight of blood at all.

I did when I was a child.

After I followed my teacher Di,

and learned how to solve cases,

then I won't faint.

However, that day at Pei Jian's house,

the tea came suddenly.

The smell of blood in it

indeed makes me feel dizzy.

I had to pretend I fainted,

so that

I wouldn't offend Assistant Minister Pei.

Since when have you

suspected me?

The former Sheriff Wu Daqi

died strangely.

And the old case files were lost

inexplicably.

How could the diligent magistrate of Chang'an

be so foolish?

All the files were confiscated,

and no one has returned them.

Just because of this?

That day,

according to the Eight Diagrams,

I deduced the location of the dead bride's body

during the past year.

You rushed here

but just asked a small question.

The Imperial Guards

are in charge of the tea dealer now.

But they caught too many.

The Imperial Prison was full.

So they sent many prisoners to Chang'an.

What should we do?

Are you asking me?

Actually, you just want to test me

whether I've connected the missing bride case

with the Chang'an black tea.

So you're just making wild guesses?

Is this what Detective Di taught you?

I was in danger in the Ghost Market that day.

Magistrate Yuan was worried and came to see me.

What did you say back then?

Last night, I saw

all the constables in Chang'an were set out.

So I came here to look for you.

You were not there at all.

Did you lead the people

to investigate in the Ghost Market?

So what?

What's the flaw?

I have a habit.

If I goes out at night,

I will be afraid there might be thieves coming in my house, so...

When I went back, the coin was still there.

On the incense ash in the room,

only left a string of cat paw prints.

Su Wuming.

I really underestimated you.

Actually, that day in the Ghost Market,

when the prestigious Immortal Venerable opened his mouth,

I was sure of my deduction.

Shoot!

Don't let them escape from the cave.

Because my ears have always been sharp.

I have never made a mistake in recognizing a person by their voice.

Yuan Lai,

I didn't identify you immediately

because I wanted you

to show your true face.

I just don't understand

why did you throw yourself in to the trap?

This is a habit I've developed

for years following my teacher.

We must investigate every mysterious case till the end.

To solve the mystery, we can die with no regrets.

Die with no regrets.

Wu Daqi said the same thing

when he was alive.

Sheriff Wu,

was killed by you

with Chang'an black tea, right?

Wu was rough yet careful.

He was very good.

After investigating the missing bride case,

he follwed the leads to me.

I have no choice.

But I didn't hurt him.

I'm just giving him the immortal tea

to help him become a god.

If I am right,

the tea Sheriff Wu drank

was different from others, right?

Su Wuming, you are indeed extraordinary.

You can even know this.

I learned from

the bailiff in the yamen of Chang'an.

Sheriff Wu was impartial

and had extraordinary martial arts skills.

There's no sign before he drowned, inexplicably.

If it weren't for the excessive dose of Western Magic Grass,

there would be no other explanation.

He deserved it.

He was just a warrior.

Just because the tea was free

and he thought the tea was nice, he drank that lot.

I didn't expect

he would die so soon.

General.

General.

There are five enemies.

All are well-trained archers.

We shouldn't attack head-on.

Chicken Fed

has found out the real situation of

the roads on both sides.

We can sneak in.

But the cave is narrow.

We can't use our skills.

But we can split up into three groups.

One group takes off their clothes

and makes a shield to attract the enemy's attention.

The second will surround them.

The rest follows me to take the chance to attack.

We can definitely annihilate the enemy.

Go!

Check if anyone is injured.

One is shot.

Everyone else is fine.

Fei.

Here you are.

Leave the injured to me. Don't worry.

Over there.

This is the end of the secret tunnel,

which is heavily guarded.

It seems we are close to

their den.

Search carefully.

Is there anything strange about this wall?

Yes.

Immortal Venerable,

stop talking to him.

It's high time

that you make immortal tea.

Leave Su Wuming to me.

Wait.

About how to make

Chang'an black tea,

I have many questions.

For example,

what is

the scary thing

in your hand?

Let me guess...

Emperor Gaozong of our dynasty suffered from eye dizziness.

At that time, an imperial physician

cured this disease

by bloodletting on the top of his head.

Are you...?

Why are you playing dumb?

You're Detective Di's disciple after all.

Didn't you notice that

during the autopsy?

When I saw Dou Cong's body being kept for days

with no spot,

I've thought

that her blood was released.

Then I found

there was a hole on her head.

So everything was clear.

The murderer kills only brides.

Is this because brides have a lot of yinqi inside?

And he hides their bodies in the corresponding direction

so that their souls won't gather.

Use the Soul Returning Incense to protect their skin

so that they can wear a mask for a long time.

Now is the Eve of the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Although the moon is in the sky,

it's the extreme yin day

in a year.

I used the blood of the Assistant Minister's daughter

at the ghost marriage

and used the skills

really carefully

to make the best

Chang'an black tea.

The price for every liang of tea

is one ingot of gold.

It's quite cheap.

Putting the mask of Fang Xiang God on the dead

is to

enlighten their souls.

Yes.

I've thought it through for them.

You are afraid that their souls

will come back to take revenge on you!

Afraid?

In a year or so,

all the officials in Chang'an

and even the royal family

will rely on my Chang'an black tea

to extend their life.

At that time,

I would be the real Master of Chang'an.

Who am I afraid of?

Immortal Venerable.

Those people

are all rubbish!

They couldn't even defend a single Lu Lingfeng.

That wall is made of a huge boulder.

No one can open it.

Let them knock.

Go and kill Su Wuming.

The special black tea should be launched soon.

I have no time

to listen to his nagging.

Don't you know that if you want to create the ultimate immortal tea,

I am more suitable

than the daughter of the Pei family?

Yuan Lai.

Don't you need the body of extreme yin?

Actually, I am.

I think you're afraid of death.

Nonsense.

Fifteen years ago,

assassins poisoned Detective Di.

This was known to all.

You haven't forgotten that, have you?

Wait.

Do you know

why didn't the assassins succeed?

That's because

I was with Detective Di,

and tested medicine for him every day.

That poison was so strong.

I passed out for seven days and nights.

My master summoned several famous physicians

from Luoyang to save my life.

I took the antidote.

Then they used Tianshan Keelen Tea preserved in the palace

to made decoction,

and then bathe me in that decoction to detoxify me.

Although the decoction was warm like spring,

it was extremely-yin in the world.

Therefore,

I am the one

who is most yin inside.

By the way, Assistant Minister Pei

helped me a lot.

Today, I sacrifice myself

to save his daughter's life.

That would be my way to pay him a debt of gratitude

Come on.

Put her down.

Put me on.

Make your tea with my blood.

Think about it.

A sip of the tea

would be revenge on me.

Don't listen to him.

He just wants to buy time.

Magistrate Yuan?

-Magistrate Yuan. -Magistrate Yuan.

This...

Magistrate is here.

Kneel down now!

Yuan Lai.

It's you! Really?

You are the magistrate,

but killed 12 innocent brides.

You are the culprit who used the evil tea to disturb Chang'an.

Miss Xijun,

That is the one who wields the sword for you.

Don't worry.

He has great martial arts skills.

He can save us.

Su Wuming.

Pei Jian defamed Chang'an black tea

and organised a ghost marriage for his daughter.

It seems that these are all your ideas.

You're just a county sheriff.

How could you manipulate a high-ranking official?

How dare you!

Yuan Lai,

Sheriff Su has been suspicious of you.

He didn't expose you

because he wanted to convince you.

Surrender now.

What a joke.

You ineffective troops

want me to throw in the towel?

Lady Shiyi,

we have no choice

but to kill tonight.

Gentlemen,

Yuan Lai is the county magistrate.

But he is the real culprit.

Take him down.

The court will reward you with merits.

Wait.

Go! Go!

Don't you want to hear

my sincere words?

You're in an important position.

How shameless you are!

I want to know

why you did that.

After the founding of this dynasty,

reforms and changes took place.

The influence of my family declined.

There were only few aristocrats surrounding us.

I was the descendant of the former Emperor.

I came from a noble family.

Despite this, I had to take the exam to be an official.

With ten years of hard-working,

I finally passed the top-level exam

and became an official in Chang'an.

I've been working hard

and diligent.

Under my management, the west side of the Zhuque Avenue

was well-organized.

But some people

used my disabled leg as an excuse

to stop me from promotion.

But they themselves

took advantage of my political achievements

and made me

their stepping stone.

Now I'm already in my fifties,

but I'm still

a county magistrate.

But the title is fancy:

Magistrate of the Capital.

That's why you don't accept your fate.

That's why you even dare to use

the blood of innocent people

to make the so-called Chang'an black tea

and sell it at a high price.

It's addictive and hallucinating.

You use it to control officials at all levels.

No one can stop my plan.

Lu Lingfeng,

you've been disbanded from military power.

Why don't you mind your own business?

To make up for your grievances,

so many people died for you.

Don't you repent?

Repent?

With my talent,

I should have been the Prime Minister.

Why should I repent?

When I become the Prime Minister for 20 years,

I would retire suscessfully.

By then, I would repent.

You're too hostile

to be the Prime Minister.

How dare you, Su Wuming!

I'll grant your wish today.

I'll use your blood to make Chang'an black tea,

and sell it to the Ghost Market

at a low price.

Why are they arguing?

Yeah.

Do we need to fight or not?

Greetings, Immortal Venerable.

Demons! Demons!

There's no demon.

Yes, don't be afraid.

Those two weirdos

must be poisoned.

They've been sleeping in the clay figurine.

The Ghost Four.

How dare you, Yuan Lai!

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong,

the four assassins of the Ghost Tribe

came to the capital to assassinate His Majesty.

After being arrested and imprisoned in Chang'an,

they disappeared.

It turns out that it was you...

To achieve great things,

one needs to make early plans.

Back then, to capture the Ghost Four,

all the master-hands in Chang'an

were deployed, but still failed.

Now, you, nobodies,

daydream about winning over them?

Death is your only result.

Kill them!

Kill them all!

-Yes. -Yes.

I've killed

two of the Ghost Four.

What are you afraid of?

Take the spear!

Go! Go! Go!

Brothers, go!

Lu Lingfeng.

General.

We're here.

Perfect timing.

Work with me to kill those criminals.

Yes.

General.

General.

Attack them one by one.

Guo Zhuang.

Capture that demon.

Yes.

I want you to pay with your life.

Lu Lingfeng,

I'll help you one more time.

Su Wuming.

I lost.

But you can't be rewarded.

Because the daughter of Pei Jian must die.

No.

Xijun.

Xijun.

This...

Don't panic, General.

She's just in shock.

She would be fine.

Su Wuming, Sheriff of Chang'an.

Greetings, Great General.

Great General.

Guards!

Here.

After checking the bodies,

take all the alive

back for questioning.

Alive?

Great General, you misunderstood.

The criminals have been executed.

General and I

are here to investigate the case.

-We... -Su Wuming, Sheriff of Chang'an.

Lu Lingfeng, General of the Imperial Guards.

Imprisoned into the Imperial Prison.

Wait for trial.

Yes.
