Young Blood

Episode 30

The killer's name is Wang Kuan.

He's the killer.

Keep your eyes on him.

His surname is Wang.

His name is Wang Kuan.

He's the killer.

I remember his face.

We are searching the whole city,

but haven’t found Han Duanzhang.

Keep searching.

You dispatch

and arrange the actions of each section.

Dean Lu.

Han Duanzhang has been found?

There’s the news from the Ministry of Punishments.

Liu Sheng’s sternum was completely broken.

He died in the prison.

Who's the murderer?

Wang Kuan from Secret Repository.

Impossible.

It will never be him.

How did they affirm that Wang Kuan did it?

When the general of imperial guards brought Liu Sheng for trial,

he happened to see Wang Kuan leaving.

Is it possible that someone assumed Wang Kuan’s name?

The general of imperial guards recalled the man's appearance.

After hearing that, the people who know him

said that it was Wang Kuan.

Give out my order to Section 7

and ask them to catch Wang Kuan.

Yes.

I'll go back too.

You can't go.

Your task is to find Han Duanzhang.

Wang Kuan is a member of Section 7.

You are not the only one in Section 7.

Leave Wang Kuan

to other members of Section 7.

Wang Kuan is accused of killing Liu Sheng

Yuan Zhongxin is accused of killing the imperial guards.

And now both of them

disappear completely.

Section 7 is really full of able men.

How could Wang

kill the classmate of Secret Repository?

Now it's not a matter of believing or not.

Now Dean Lu orders

us to catch Wang Kuan.

Let's think about how to deal with it first.

I won't catch Wang.

We are not going to catch him,

but to find out where he is

before we think about the next step.

How do we find him?

I'm just a dandy.

How come I'm in charge now?

Jing and I are also incompetent.

Things happened together.

Yuan Zhongxin's case hasn't been resolved.

Don't move.

I said to him,

not you.

Search.

Wang Kuan is not with us.

Who is Wang Kuan?

Have you seen the princess of Liao?

The princess has returned to the hostel, hasn't she?

You should go there to find her.

Why are you in our room?

The princess is gone.

Is she gone, too?

What do you mean?

Is anyone else gone?

Nothing.

My dad is gone.

Let’s go.

Yuan is missing.

Wang is missing.

Zhao can't come back.

What should we do now?

It seems that I have to

shoulder the heavy burden of Section 7.

Don’t worry.

Although the current situation is chaotic,

as long as I am here,

I will be able to change the situation.

Regardless of the princess,

we will search for Wang Kuan

and Yuan Zhongxin first.

Could the disappearance of the princess

have anything to do with them?

Impossible.

They are two different matters.

Trust me.

For the disappearance of the princess,

Yuan Zhongxin must not know about it.

Have you seen Liu Sheng?

What did he say?

I'm afraid he couldn't speak any more.

Liu Sheng is dead.

Who killed him?

I am the first suspect.

I'm wanted all over the city now.

In such a short time,

the princess thought you killed Xiaohua,

and the Ministry of Punishments thought you killed Liu Sheng.

Both sides want to catch you.

I didn’t kill him.

I know.

But oral words cannot be taken as evidences.

If you want to clear your name,

you have to find the killer first.

I'll investigate it myself.

Stay out of it.

Just take care of the princess.

You get out of here first.

She can't see you right now.

I'll get back to you.

Where is Xiaohua?

I’m asking you where Xiaohua is.

She has been buried.

Why didn't you call a doctor?

She died on the spot.

There’s no room for rescue.

Wang Kuan is the killer.

He killed Xiaohua.

You must believe me.

Wang Kuan is not such a cruel man.

I saw it with my own eyes.

You saw him with the body.

Did you see him killing Xiaohua?

Then who else could have killed her?

It must be him.

I will help you

find the killer behind

and avenge Xiaohua.

But first of all, you have to believe me.

Maybe you are Wang Kuan’s accomplice.

Calm down

and think about it.

Why did I kill Xiaohua?

You must believe me.

I don't believe anyone.

Dean Lu.

What happened?

After learning about Liu Sheng's death,

the students in Section 5 are furious.

They have all rushed out of Secret Repository.

Why didn't you stop them?

We can’t stop them.

They said

they would avenge the section chief.

You also know

what kind of students are in Section 5.

If you want to protect Wang Kuan,

you have to help me find him first.

I swear,

I really don't know where he is.

You'd better pray that Wang Kuan

won't be found by them.

They're back.

Are they back?

They don't knock.

An ultimatum issued by Section 5.

They ask us to hand over Wang Kuan.

These two days you two

stay with me.

We’re counting on you, Xue.

All members in Section 5 are crazy.

[Dean Lu]

The report back from the search in the city.

Now the inspection has been strengthened.

All the fairs, restaurants and gambling houses,

and the gates of Kaifeng

are guarded secretly.

But Wang Kuan hasn't been found yet.

Report to me as soon as there is news.

Don’t act rashly,

and alert him.

Where are you going?

You just need to do your own thing,

and don't ask more about other things.

You are in Kaifeng now.

You can't run away.

You tell me everything you know,

and then we can figure out

who killed Xiaohua.

I won't tell you anything.

You and Wang Kuan are the killers.

You are here.

Why remain silent?

Something happened?

You killed Huo Yuguang.

We made a deal, didn't we?

Huo Yuguang knew too much.

We couldn't let him go back to Shangjing.

What about Tian Hu?

Who?

The guard, right?

He was guarding the room all night,

so I had to kill him.

What about Liu Sheng?

Is it important?

Did you kill him?

Yes.

Why?

Yuan Zhongxin and his friends

are too close to Princess Yunni.

They're so smart.

If they continue to investigate,

we'll be exposed.

What does this have to do with Liu Sheng?

Yuan Zhongxin killed the imperial guards.

Then Wang Kuan killed Liu Sheng.

Both of them are guilty.

Now Section 7

has no time to interfere in our business.

What else do you have to ask?

What are you doing?

Liu Sheng is my student.

Lu Guannian,

you have to think clearly.

We are doing a great event.

If you kill me now,

what we did before

will fail to succeed.

When it's done,

I'll kill you.

I'll wait for you.

Stay away from my students.

As long as they don't get in the way.

Would you like some noodles?

They are delicious.

Is he your man?

Don't pretend.

You know clearly

how many people I have in Kaifeng.

The memorial will be delivered to Kaifeng soon.

What about Yunni?

I'll handle it.

You stay out of it.

Of course I believe you.

I've already said that

your students are quite smart.

Please calm down.

Then think about a question.

Why did I kill Xiaohua?

She's dead.

What's the point of saying that now?

You asked me for help.

If I didn't want to,

I would not see you.

Why did I kill her?

Even if I wanted to kill someone,

why didn't I kill you?

I saw Wang Kuan…

You saw Wang Kuan killing her, right?

Alright.

On second thought,

even if Wang Kuan killed her,

what does it have to do with me?

You mean

you don't know

why Wang Kuan killed her, do you?

I don't know anything right now.

Princess.

Why don't you tell me

your purpose of sneaking back to Liao?

Then we may be able to speculate on

the killer's motive.

You don’t say anything.

Can you find the killer?

How can I trust you?

You can have a try.

It wouldn't do you any harm.

I don't want to marry.

What?

I don't want to marry.

So I must go back to Liao.

Peace-making marriage?

How do you know?

You don’t want to marry.

You want to sneak back to Liao.

It means that the person you will marry is from Song.

You are a princess.

If it's not a peace-making marriage,

who will force you to marry?

I think I'm right.

Tell me.

Why did you ask me for help?

I know few people in Kaifeng.

I shouldn't have asked you for help.

Since it's a peace-making marriage,

there should be a edict.

But nothing happened in the hostel.

Since there’s no edict,

and you knew the peace-making marriage in advance,

who told you that?

That night in the hotel outside the city,

who did you go to see?

You falsely accused Liu Sheng of the murder.

You did it on that man’s instigation, right?

What are you talking about?

The man who instigated everything behind

sent this message to you,

and asked you to falsely accuse Liu Sheng of the murder

in order to distract our attention.

You and Xiaohua did not enter the room,

but you knew that Tian Hu died in the room.

It means that the killer told you

that two people died in the room.

The man behind and the killer

should be the same one.

Han Duanzhang.

Yuan Zhongxin, who are you exactly?

You follow my orders

and stay with me,

just to keep an eye on me?

Why did you kill Huo Yuguang?

He once told me that

the one who chased to kill him in Kaifeng

was Han Duanzhang.

Maybe that's why he died.

Han Duanzhang didn't want him to go back to Liao,

and didn't want Liao people to know

that he had betrayed Liao.

Perhaps.

But Han Duanzhang

has always been guarded by you.

If my guess is correct,

that is to say,

you have been lying,

and have been colluding with him.

Doubt everything.

This is what I taught you.

I am very pleased.

You're making great progress.

Dean Lu,

why did you betray Song?

I swear.

I didn't betray Song.

All I did

is for the benefit of Song.

Including killing Liu Sheng?

I killed him.

Your dean knew nothing about it.

He tried to kill me just now.

Then why didn't you kill him?

He can't die now.

How old is Liu Sheng?

Twenty-one years old.

He was just in his youth.

Please tell me.

How long he could have lived?

His life had just begun,

but now it was over.

Please tell me what kind of overall situation

makes you ignore his life.

I can tell you everything,

but not now.

Why are you looking at me like seeing a ghost?

You can deduce so much from my sentence.

You're definitely not an ordinary person.

Whether I’m an ordinary person or not…

It’s not important.

Let's talk about your brother.

He didn't die?

He was released.

He went back to his mansion?

Han Duanzhang told you that?

You believed him?

I received the news from a carrier pigeon.

It sent my brother's letter to me.

What did he say in the letter?

He

asked me to cooperate with Han Duanzhang

and make peace with Song by marriage.

He allied himself with his captor?

They're not from Secret Repository.

Before Secret Repository was established,

I had my own forces.

Do they know you’re collaborating with Liao people?

It’s confidential.

We can't release it.

We must kill her.

I warned you.

Stay away from my students.

You have to think about the consequences clearly.

Take her back.

Jing?

Yuan.

Why are you here?

I'm here to look for Wang.

Is he here?

Princess?

Why is the princess here?

Come with me.

Look for Wang Kuan?

I thought he was here.

What’s wrong?

What are you looking for?

Where is the letter from Section 5?

I want to see if there's an address in the letter.

Maybe I can explain it to them.

What do you want to explain?

It’s impossible for Wang Kuan to kill Liu Sheng.

No one will believe what you said.

I have to try.

But there's no address in the letter.

They only asked us to hand over Wang Kuan.

If you really want to find them,

go back to Secret Repository.

The letter said that

it's a personal grudge.

It has nothing to do with Secret Repository.

How strange.

The letter was here just now.

Where is Jing?

She seems to have gone to boil water.

She hasn't come back for so long.

Section 5 threatened us to kill Wang.

I want to warn him

not to stay in Kaifeng these days.

Do you know where Wang is?

I don’t know.

That would be troublesome.

When did you receive the letter?

Just now.

Enter the room and close the door. Take the princess

to get out of the room through the back window.

Don’t make a sound. Quickly.

Where to go?

You decide.

Jing, what are you doing?

Yuan asked us to leave here.

Why?

I don’t know.

From his expression, I’m afraid we are in trouble.

Let’s go.

If you want to kill Wang Kuan,

there is no need to inform Section 7.

This letter is superfluous.

So I guess

this letter is just a deceive trick.

You want the members of Section 7

to inform Wang Kuan to escape,

and follow them secretly

to find out where Wang Kuan is.

It's a pity that you followed the wrong person.

Wang Kuan is not here.

By the way,

who are you?

Maybe we can cooperate.

I’m easy-going.

Di Jiang.

Where are we going?

I don’t know.

I can't be found.

Princess, why do you escape?

It’s none of your business.

If not,

we can ask Xue Ying and Junior Wei for help.

Jing.

The less people know my whereabouts,

the better.

Who can we ask for help?

Don't you have an idea?

I…

In the middle of the night,

where can we go?

Come with me.

Wang.

Wang Kuan.

You killed her?

I just knocked her out.

If you press this place hard,

people will lose consciousness.

We learnt it in class.

Why did she want to kill you?

Xiaohua died.

She thinks I killed her.

Come with me.

Yuan seems to be in trouble.

I know.

I've been around there.

I saw.

The man following you is Di Jiang of Section 5.

That maniac?

Where are the others of Section 5?

Hand over Wang Kuan.

Only you?

It looks like you're going to fight with me alone.

Hand over Wang Kuan.

I really don't know where he is

How about this?

I'll help you find him.

Anyway, I don’t have a good relationship with him.

What do you think?

Answer me.

Whose house is this?

This house is said to be haunted

and has long been unoccupied.

Haunted?

Don't be afraid.

There is no ghost in the world.

Don’t worry.

When she wakes up, I'll help to persuade her.

I'll make her understand that

you don't kill people.

I'm a little worried about Yuan Zhongxin.

Yuan is so smart

that he can deal with a maniac, right?

Di Jiang is not a maniac.

Di Jiang is not a name,

but a strange creature in The Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Then what’s his name?

I once asked the members of Section 5.

Except Liu Sheng,

I'm afraid no one knows his real name.

It is said that he was born of humble origins

and suffered a lot.

He wears a mask all the time

because his whole face was burned.

Gosh.

His name Di Jiang

was given by Liu Sheng.

A strange creature in ancient times,

without head and face.

It is just right for him.

He has a very good relationship with Liu Sheng.

Can you be reasonable?

I told you I could help you.

Hand over Wang Kuan.

I really don't know where he is.

Then go to hell.

You're really going to kill me?

I have had enough of you.

What I fear the most is a maniac.

It was Liu Sheng who taught him to read.

Di Jiang changed from a maniac

to a qualified member of Secret Repository,

because of Liu Sheng's efforts.

For Di Jiang,

Liu Sheng was not only the chief,

but also the elder brother,

and the teacher who led him out of the darkness.

Now Liu Sheng was dead.

Di Jiang wants to kill me.

No one can stop him.

Someone will bring you three meals a day.

In a few hours,

women will come in.

If you want to go to the toilet,

you can ask them for help.

You're not going to let me go, are you?

I have no choice.

Aren't you afraid I'll escape?

How about this?

You kill me.

It’s more convenient.

Liu Sheng was killed by Han Duanzhang.

I will never kill my students.

If you want to escape,

it’s impossible.

This chain can't be cut off.

Without this key,

you can't open it.

If other members of Section 7 find me missing,

they will find a way to find me.

But all the people in Secret Repository know that

you received a secret order

and went out of the city to handle affairs.

You will not come back in ten days or half a month.

Then I'll disappear completely.

When the great event is done,

I'll let you go.

I can't get out anyway.

As for the great event you mentioned,

can you tell me now?

I want to cause the internal strife in Liao

and make Liao decline and fall.

Zhao Jian didn't leave a code.

Is something wrong with her?

I don't have to lie to you.

I really didn’t

kill Xiaohua.

When I got there,

I didn't see the killer.

How is it going?

I went back to have a look.

The house and yard are in a mess.

They should have fought.

But neither of them is here.

You're not near the house, right?

Certainly.

As you told me,

I just watched from afar

and didn't enter the yard.

Although Di Jiang is powerful,

it is not so easy

to catch Yuan Zhongxin.

Why didn't Yuan go back to the yard?

He should have taken the chance to escape.

What do you mean?

Is he on guard against Di Jiang?

No.

He's avoiding the killer.

Who killed Xiaohua.

Isn't that you?

Xiaohua was killed near the well.

It is sure that

the killer knew

we lived in that yard.

Maybe he was watching us.

So for the reason that the princess

wanted to kill me,

I left the yard,

and then went back and hid near the yard

to observe the surroundings

and find the killer.

So you've been around the yard?

No wonder we met you last night.

Didn't you find the killer

near the yard?

No.

The killer is very smart.

Yuan Zhongxin and I think

we can't go on like this.

We have to change the situation.

Have you seen Yuan?

No, I haven’t.

But we left the code

on the stone step.

No one will notice it.

He was ready to act in the dark.

But Di Jiang went to fight with him.

So he took the opportunity

and asked you to take the princess away.

Because he knew

I would help you.

Then he can take the opportunity to escape

and disappear in Kaifeng.

The killer of Xiaohua

lost you.

He will definitely take actions.

That might give us a chance to catch him.

You're a good storyteller.

Jing.

Go to the second alley in the west

and see if there is any carved characters on the wall.

The code Yuan Zhongxin and I agreed

is right there.

Okay.

I can't show up for the time being.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

If I can help you,

I will be of some use.

Well,

I almost forgot.

I bought food for you.

This is yours without the green onions.

Now you see what I'm trying to do.

As you said,

you knew in advance that

the princess would assassinate at the birthday banquet.

Han Duanzhang's men

caught Prince Yun'an.

He told me the details.

You didn't stop him.

I told you.

Since I knew she would assassinate,

I couldn't make her succeed.

It’s just threatening but not dangerous.

You know

she's a princess after all.

And Prince Yun'an

is also in charge of the frontier city of Liao.

They are relatively strong forces.

Once the princess assassinated at the birthday banquet,

whether it's successful or not,

it would be a big issue.

Song will surely

ask Liao to hand over Prince Yun'an.

The strength of Liao has been declining in recent years.

So at this time Liao does not want to fight with Song,

and will be sure to force Prince Yun'an to comply.

Then Han Duanzhang will release Prince Yun'an,

and persuade

and incite him to fight for his life.

Once the civil strife happens in Liao,

it is the best time for Song to mediate.

What about Princess Yunni?

If the assassination failed,

she would die.

It’s not important.

If Liao could have civil strife,

it would be nothing even if the princess died.

But you failed.

Right.

You saw through the plan of the assassination

and made a change.

Fortunately, Han Duanzhang and I have considered

the next move in case of failure.

That's why we have a plan for the next step.

Why hasn't Jing come back?

We can’t wait any more.

I'm worried that Jing is caught by the members of Section 5.

What should we do?

Go back to Secret Repository

to see Dean Lu.

We have no control over Section 5,

so we have to ask Dean Lu to interfere.

Alright.

Let's go now.

Peace-making marriage?

Prince Yun'an was caught by Han Duanzhang's men.

It made Prince Yun'an understand that

most of Liao princes with military power

come to no good end.

So he has to find a more reliable support.

Song?

Right.

Only when Yunni has a peace-making marriage with Song,

can Prince Yun'an

have links to Song

and be well at ease.

Prince Yun'an was caught by Han Duanzhang's men.

He believed what they said?

Prince Yun'an

was caught with his henchman.

These things

were told to him by his loyal henchman.

His henchman is Han Duanzhang's man?

Right.

After the assassination failed,

this henchman used his power

to help Prince Yun'an escape from the prison.

So far,

Prince Yun'an still thinks that

he has escaped from the prison

through his efforts.

But he doesn't know all this

was arranged by Han Duanzhang.

So he agreed the peace-making marriage?

The document for the peace-making marriage

is being sent to Kaifeng.

He is the prince of Liao.

He will marry off his own sister

to Song.

He didn't tell the emperor of Liao about such a big thing.

He acts like this.

I’m afraid that the emperor of Liao might kill him.

So the final result is the same.

The emperor of Liao will send out troops,

and Liao will be in turmoil.

From beginning to end,

there is only one thing that I don't understand.

Han Duanzhang.

Yes.

Han Duanzhang can be said to be an important official of Liao.

Why does he want to cause civil strife in Liao?

With his status,

can you really believe him?

If he was Liao people,

I would not trust him.

He is not Liao people?

It’s impossible.

Han family

is prestigious in Shangjing.

How could a spy have infiltrated their family?

Do you remember

the mutiny in Liaoyang Prefecture mutiny years ago?

The mutiny?

I went to the wall and checked it.

There is no carved character.

It’s strange.

Yuan Zhongxin and I agreed to

contact each other by codes at any time.

I saw the whole alley.

I found nothing.

Is there anything wrong with Yuan?

Calm down.

Maybe he's occupied now.

You'll have a look in the afternoon.

Okay.

You've been busy all morning.

You must be tired.

So you should understand that

all I have done

is to cause the internal strife in Liao,

so that Song can benefit from it.

If, as you said,

all this is for the sake of Song,

why did you do this covertly?

Why did you catch me?

You're afraid I'll tell others?

There are always some people who are short-sighted.

They think they care for the common people.

They said the war is coming

and the people would be plunged into misery.

Since they don't want

to dirty their hands,

I have to take actions secretly

to push the overall situation forward.

You don't care if people died?

Anyway, the dead are Liao people.

Tian Hu died.

Is he Liao people?

Liu Sheng died.

Is he Liao people?

Dean Lu.

For the sake of your so-called overall situation,

how many people will die?

If you have anything,

let's talk about it later.

Dean!

Coming!

Dean! Dean! Dean!

Dean!

De…

It’s you two?

Come on in.

Dean.

We should’ve gone to the section chief for this.

But I heard

that you sent Zhao Jian out of the city for business, right?

Correct.

Then we have nobody else

to go to except you.

What’s going on?

Section 5 sent a letter

to the hostel last night,

saying they’ll kill Wang Kuan!

Dean,

you know Wang Kuan very well.

There’s no way that he’d kill Liu Sheng!

That’s nonsense.

Where’s the letter?

It’s missing.

And so is

Jing!

What happened exactly?

We suspect that Section 5 took Jing.

Or it wouldn’t be this coincidental.
