(Magistrate's Residence)

Her Ladyship

is studying a new product's formula

and has been buying its materials

in the market recently.

You're not exposed, are you?

No.

That's good.

We've agreed not to disturb her

when she's studying the formula.

But Her Ladyship seems

not to focus on the new formula.

She investigated some kinds of medicine

that were in the shortest supply

and returned to Ship Guihai.

And then

two chief officers

went to sea separately.

I think

Her Ladyship wanted

to take some medicine back

when making the materials for the cream.

I didn't expect she had such a plan.

The cargo

needs to be checked at the wharf

before entering Haifang, right?

The wharf

is controlled by the guild,

and most people who are responsible for checking populations

are bribed

by Wang Jinyao's men.

However, Chief Yuan

also bribed some of them.

Speaking of this,

we haven't met him officially,

have we?

- Okay. - Come on.

- Come on. - Hurry up. Come on.

I'll do it myself.

I'll do it myself.

Come on.

I've been keeping an eye on Yuan Lang

under your order.

He's the chief

of the Dragon Gang now.

Go.

Let's meet him.

We haven't met each other for a few days

and have to know each other again.

Chief Yuan.

You're well-informed, Mr. Ning.

What's wrong?

Do you come to inspect the wharf?

The Dragon Gang's business

is getting better and better.

Many people of the Dragon Gang

need to make a living,

and I'm trusted by them,

so I can't slack.

It's good to reorganize the Dragon Gang,

but don't seek instant success and quick profits,

in case you'll follow the same old disastrous road as Shen Liancheng.

What's wrong with your arm?

I was cut

by Shen Liancheng's men at Magistrate's Residence.

It doesn't matter.

What a coincidence.

When Shen Liancheng died,

we found a Tea Gang's tattoo

on his arm.

It was on his right arm's...

It was in the same position

as your injury.

They look exactly the same.

Are you doubting something, Mr. Ning?

Since Shen Liancheng was one member of the Tea Gang,

I think there must be his complices

who have the same tattoo

in the Dragon Gang.

Mr. Ning,

I don't understand

the Tea Gang in your words,

but aren't you hotheaded

to define a group of people

just because of one person?

I hope you can

prove your innocence.

What if my arm

doesn't have a tattoo?

If so, I'll apologize to you.

And you should promise

that you'll never disturb anyone

of the Dragon Gang.

Deal.

Okay.

Chief.

It's okay.

Mr. Ning,

you could see

our chief

doesn't have a tattoo as you said.

Have you seen enough, Mr. Ning?

Sorry to offend you.

Please forgive me, Chief Yuan.

His injury is strange.

Chief, it's...

The tattoo is the last memory

the Tea Gang left to me.

I destroyed it

for fear that

Ning Yuxuan would find evidence.

How is your process?

Since Yuan Lang

took over the Dragon Gang,

the wharf

has been more orderly.

I didn't find

suspicious deals

except

the transportation of cargo.

Your Lordship,

should we continue keeping an eye on him?

I always feel

he wants to hide something.

Continue keeping an eye on him for some time.

Yes.

Have you heard

Xiajiu House

sells herbs at half the price of ours?

What?

How could it be?

They can't sell herbs at such a cheap price.

Yes.

What should we do?

Go.

Let's go to Mr. Wang.

- Okay. Let's go. - Go.

(Guo's Apothecary)

Mr. Wang,

you should think of a way.

Mrs. Ning

got a ship of herbs.

She didn't only use them herself

but also gave some

to Xiajiu House.

Their medicine's price

is very low.

Yes, Mr. Wang.

Some people of the guild

even went to their shop in the disguise of poor people

in order to buy cheap herbs.

Let's use the same way.

Break the apothecary.

Break it?

Well,

it's not good, isn't it?

But people

from Magistrate's Residence

patrol the apothecary every day,

so we can't

be too brazen.

Yes, Mr. Wang.

Since Mrs. Ning could disturb the medicine's market,

she may also do it to the food market.

She wants to

ruin our businesses.

Yes.

He's right.

What if she...

What should we do?

What should...

Enough.

All cargo's prices

are decided by our guild

during these years,

so you shouldn't have been panicked

because of some ships of herbs.

I won't allow anyone

to ruin our guild's interests.

Mr. Ning,

you must support us.

Yes, Mr. Ning.

If it continues,

we will

go bankrupt.

Please support us, Mr. Ning.

Please support us, Mr. Ning.

Please support us.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Be quiet.

Do you need to

go to Magistrate's Residence

to bother Mr. Ning with such a small thing?

Wait.

Mr. Wang,

are they all from your guild?

Yes.

Why do they come here?

They come

for your wife.

My wife?

Mr. Ning,

please forgive me to be outspoken.

Our guild was established a long time ago,

and we're responsible

for all goods' prices.

However,

your wife

got a batch of herbs secretly

and sold it privately.

She disturbed the market's order,

and owners of apothecaries

feel really wronged.

That's why

they have to

come here to ask you for justice.

Please support us, Mr. Ning.

Please support us, Mr. Ning.

How powerful my wife is

to make you ask for justice.

Mr. Ning,

it's our guild's responsibility

to defend Haifang's businessmen's interests,

and prices

are also decided by our guild

before taking effect by businessmen.

Only in this way

can we steady Haifang's market.

But your wife

broke the rule,

and many cheap herbs

seriously affected

the medicine market of Haifang.

Many businessmen

are affected seriously.

If it continues,

they won't be able

to make a living.

Yes.

After they sell herbs at a low price...

Yes.

...we can't sell our medicine.

We can't run our businesses.

Yes.

It's the guild that decides prices,

but

are they reasonable?

Mr. Ning,

the prices in Haifang

have always been right

over the years.

The herbs' prices of Haifang

have risen by 40% without any reason.

Is it true?

Mr. Ning,

it's normal for the herbs' prices

to have a fluctuation.

Moreover, pirates have appeared frequently

and robbed many cargo ships recently.

That's why the herbs' prices rose.

It has nothing to do with our guild.

Mr. Ning,

please investigate it carefully.

Since my wife

can purchase high-qualified herbs at a low price,

I believe

you can also

do that.

You can't say you're considering for the people

only when you sell reliable and affordable goods.

Mr. Ning,

it seems you want to connive

at your wife's disturbance of the market.

By then,

every shop will close,

and people will live a poor life.

Is that

what you want?

Mr. Ning,

as the magistrate,

will you abandon official business because of your private business?

Mr. Wang,

can you tell me

what's the difference between official business and private business?

The official business is for people

while the private business is for yourself.

As the most generous man in Haifang,

you should know it,

shouldn't you?

You'd better

think of a method to bring the guild on a right way

instead of

wasting time asking me for justice.

Send them off.

Well, Mr. Ning...

Mr. Ning, don't leave.

Well, don't leave, Mr. Ning.

What...

What should we do?

What should we do?

- It's... - Mr. Wang.

- Mr. Wang. - Mr. Wang.

- I... - What should we do?

What should we do?

In order to

stop Lackey Ning from doubting us,

you actually

paid such a painful price.

Chief,

in my opinion,

we can just confess ourselves.

We're the later generation of the Tea Gang.

Let's fight Lackey Ning to the end.

It's not that easy.

The Dragon Gang

is just on track,

members are not united, and we're not armed enough.

If we do what you said,

we're just looking for death.

Chief,

what's your plan?

No matter what,

I can't lead you

to follow the same old disastrous road.

My aim

is to bring the former generation of the Tea Gang

and these kind members

on the right way.

Doesn't Ning Yuxuan

doubt us?

We should let him

see how our Tea Gang

do things.

Chief,

someone from Mr. Wang's mansion passed on a message.

He asked you to go to Shuiyan House.

I see.

(Shuiyan House)

Since you inherit the Dragon Gang,

you'll be

very close

to the Sea Trade Guild.

Thanks for your trust, Mr. Wang.

The Dragon Gang

will try their best

to guard

the safety

of Sea Trade Guild's cargo.

Okay.

What I attach most importance to

while doing business

is balance.

You know

it's not easy to do business in Haifang.

The cargo's transportation

mainly depends on the wharf,

but things don't go smooth

on the sea.

If there are storms or pirates,

the whole market of Haifang

will be affected.

Now,

someone transported cargo privately

without the guild's permission.

Although

it's forgivable to transport cargo privately,

it'll disturb

the balance of Haifang's market

if the cargo

isn't for the person's self-use.

Please read it, Chief Yuan.

(67 ships. 35 ships. 26 ships.)

(Buyer: Haoxue Cosmetics)

Mr. Wang,

what do you mean?

These ships

affect Haifang's balance,

and how do you think

I should deal with it?

It's easy.

Forbid these ships

to get close to Haifang.

Good idea.

Keep talking.

Haven't pirates appeared frequently?

These three ships

must be robbed by them.

It turns out

you have the same thought as me.

Okay.

Please help me

to get rid of the trouble.

You'll get benefits.

No problem.

Mr. Wang,

you'll see.

Goodbye.

(Shuiyan House)

Chief,

are we really going to

rob Ms. Nie's ships?

Of course.

I have my plan.

But...

Remember

that all I want is the cargo.

I thought Yuan Lang

was

an amazing

and loyal person,

but now,

it seems friendships mean nothing to him.

They are nothing

when compared to money and interests.

Mr. Wang,

Chief Yuan

has a close relationship

with the owner of Haoxue Cosmetics,

so will he overtly agree but covertly oppose

after you asked him to rob cargo ships

and kill all shipmen?

Am I easy

to be fooled?

If he wants a slice of the action,

he must rob ships

and can't fake it.

He dares to rob his friend's cargo,

and it can be regarded

as his guarantee of joining me.

Well,

send someone to keep an eye on the wharf.

Inform me

as soon as the Dragon Gang returns.

Yes.

(Haoxue Cosmetics) Let me check

the herbs we give to Xiajiu House.

Angelica sinensis is 8,000 pence per ten maces.

It's 70% cheaper than the market price.

70%?

Borneol is 7,000 pence per ten maces.

It's 40% cheaper

than the market price.

40%?

In this case,

we can give Xiajiu House a lower price

after counting

other herbs

and costs.

In this case,

those patients

can save

much money.

Yes.

In this case,

it's much cheaper.

The guild is very black-hearted.

Ordinary people

don't know the outside market's price

and only regard the guild's prices as normal,

that's why they suffer losses but can't say it out.

In this case,

the cost of the Feiwan Face Cream

could also be reduced by 20%.

By then,

everyone can afford it.

Really? That's perfect.

My Lady.

My Lady.

My Lady.

My Lady, something is wrong.

What happened?

Slow down.

Our ships...

What happened to the ships?

All cargo is robbed by pirates.

What?

Are you sure?

We caught many pirates today.

At least there will be no accidents

on the sea for some time.

Pirates of Haifang don't stop appearing,

and what we did

is just a temporary solution.

We have to think about

a radical treatment.

Haven't you

ordered many people

to investigate nearby villages?

Have you found anything?

Haifang's forces are complicated,

and I've received no news

from scouts yet.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship,

a runner from Magistrate's Residence informed

that Her Ladyship's cargo ships were robbed by pirates.

What?

They are unscrupulous enough

to target at Mrs. Ning.

Isn't it coincident

that her ships are robbed now?

Mr. Ning,

the pirates

will think about a way to sell bribes.

I'll assist you

to patrol Haifang.

Thank you, Mr. Tao.

Let's split up.

My Lady.

My Lady.

How is it?

His Lordship isn't at Magistrate's Residence.

No?

Why isn't he there now?

My Lady, be patient.

How about we wait for him for a while?

I'm patient,

but the cargo doesn't only include what we want

but also

the herbs to Xiajiu House.

Even if we can wait for the cargo,

those patients can't.

What...

What should we do,

My Lady?

We can't always wait.

We have to find the cargo.

The Dragon Gang.

Sang Shen and Muxu,

go to check

where we can find new cargo to supply.

I'll go to Mr. Yuan for help.

The Dragon Gang knows the sea

the best,

so they may find

a clue of the cargo.

Okay.

Yes, let's split up.

Go.

Go.

Chief,

all cargo we get

is recorded in the brochure.

I've checked all.

Yes, Chief.

All cargo

is stored

in the wharf's storage.

Clear out

Haoxue Cosmetics' cargo

and store it separately.

I have to give it back to Ms. Nie later.

Chief, there are more.

Mr. Yuan.

Ms. Nie.

Clean it.

Mr. Yuan.

Mr. Yuan, something is wrong.

My cargo was robbed by pirates.

Ning Yuxuan isn't at Magistrate's Residence now.

After thinking about it,

I have to come to you for help.

Those pirates will find a place

to store the cargo

after robbing it.

Since the Dragon Gang

knows the sea's situation the best,

can you follow me

to look for my cargo?

Ms. Nie, calm down.

There are many warehouses at the wharf.

If we check them one by one,

it will take time.

How about I ask the members to look for it

and you wait for my news in Haoxue Cosmetics?

I can't wait.

The cargo doesn't only have the materials I need

but also the herbs to treat patients.

I can't bear waiting.

Well...

Please accompany me to look for it.

Ms. Nie,

I suddenly remember

some members

told me this morning

that some cargo ships were weird.

They didn't unload the cargo

at the wharf

but went to the mountain through the bypath.

Chief,

I think

they may have

Ms. Nie's cargo.

Mountain?

Yes.

Chief,

go and check it with Ms. Nie now.

I'll go to the wharf to look for it with Zhao Long.

Let's go, Ms. Nie.

Sorry to bother you.

Go.

Long,

Chief plays cat and mouse well

with Ms. Nie.

He found a chance

to rob her cargo,

which made her anxious,

and he will return it to her

when it's time.

With that,

the girl

will fall in love with him.

Long,

Lackey Ning

could achieve nothing.

I didn't expect

Chief Yuan

to be skillful

in pursuing a girl.

You know nothing.

Chief Yuan had to rob Ms. Nie's ships

as his guarantee

to Wang Jinyao.

You did well today.

Where are you going, Long?

The wharf.

We've been searching for a long time.

Didn't Zhao Long and Zhao Hu

say the ships were there?

Where are they?

Ms. Nie,

I think they should be nearby.

How about

resting for a while?

No ships are ahead.

Let's...

Let's go back to search.

Wait.

There is a village.

Let's drink some water.

I'm not thirsty.

It's more important to find the cargo.

Let's look for it first.

Wait.

I'm thirsty.

Let's go.

Come on. Slow down.

Thank you.

Here. Take it away.

Okay.

We'll go back first.

You're back.

(Liu's Village)

Okay.

Who are they?

I think

they're homeless refugees

and gather here to live.

I only

heard about refugees,

and it's my first time seeing them.

I'm leaving.

Refugees.

Kid,

what are you doing?

I'm playing.

I brought candies today.

Do you want them?

Yes.

Okay.

Let me peel it for you.

You can eat it now.

Thank you, Miss.

My god.

Why didn't he eat it?

Miss,

can you give us some food?

- I want it, too. - So do I.

So do I.

All of you can have a share.

I also want it.

Be patient.

All of you can have a share.

Here you are.

- I want it, too. - Me too.

There are no candies left.

I don't have more.

I'll bring them to you next time, okay?

Why didn't they eat candies

just now?

I think it's because they want to use it to exchange for money.

Exchange for money?

One candy is eight pence.

It could exchange for 250g of roughage

and some water,

so they're reluctant

to eat such a rare thing.

Are they even reluctant to eat a candy?

It seems

people don't live a good life here.

How can I help them?

All cargo of my ship

is recorded in this brochure.

Please read it.

Only a few buckets of guano

is put in storage today?

Yes.

Where is the cargo?

Show me.

I don't dare to do so, Mr. Ning.

The cargo here

is deposited by businessmen.

It's not mine at all.

Deposited?

Then why are there

no consigners or consignees

written in this brochure?

Does the cargo appear out of nowhere?

Who sent it to you?

Just some workers.

They're under the Dragon Gang's regulation.

I heard

the guano

was bought from an island

at a high price by a rich man.

It's said to be used as fertilizer in fields that are planted beans.

Nonsense.

Beans can be used as fertilizer,

so he doesn't need guano at all.

Well,

I just heard about it.

I've been living at sea from young,

and I've never farmed.

Your Lordship,

the cargo is strange.

Perhaps the bribes

we're looking for

are in it.

It's not good.

Guano is dirty.

If you check each box,

won't my storage

be smelly?

Your hands will also get dirty.

Open boxes and check the cargo.

Yes.

Mr. Ning,

look.

It's indeed guano.

Wait.

Is it guano?

Please spare my life, Mr. Ning.

Arrest him.

I know nothing,

Mr. Ning.

Ask my wife here.

Mr. Ning.

Let her check if it's her cargo.

Yes.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

Why are you here?

Her Ladyship and Chief Yuan

went to look for the cargo.

When we heard you were at the wharf,

we rushed over.

What?

Get out of my way.

What smell is it?

Ning Yuxuan?

How do you know we're here?

I'm going to you.

Oh, you.

I lost my cargo

and couldn't find you.

Fortunately, I asked Chief Yuan for help.

I've found your cargo.

Really?

Where is it?

You stored her cargo

in the warehouse, didn't you?

The reason why

you took her to the mountain to look for it

is to stop her

from going to the wharf, right?

Mr. Yuan,

according to the law,

you should be punished to die

if you rob cargo.

Mr. Ning,

don't slander me without evidence.

After I became the chief,

the Dragon Gang takes responsibility

for the transportation at the wharf

and the regulation of storages.

When we receive businessmen's cargo,

we only store it,

and we don't know

how to distinguish its sources.

Perhaps

someone wants to plant stolen goods on me.

I'll find out.

Okay.

We've found the cargo, after all.

Mr. Yuan,

thank you

for accompanying me to look for the cargo.

You're welcome.

Since it's found,

I'm leaving.

Fortunately, the cargo is found.

Fortunately.

Not at all.

From now on,

don't meet him alone.

Why?

Since he can be the Dragon Gang's chief,

he's not simple.

Haifang

is getting increasingly unstable.

Discuss with me

before doing things.

Don't go to the mountain with him alone

like today.

Are you jealous of him?

No.

Alright, I see.

I have another emergent thing to do.

Accompany me.

I also want it.

All of you can have a share.

All of you can have a share.

Sir, I want this one.

- Me too. - Here you are.

All of you can have a share.

- Sir. - Sir, what's this?

All of you can have a share.

Here you are.

All of you can have a share. Be patient.

Here you are.

It's funny.

All of you can have a share.

Why are you in a daze? Give them candies.

All of you can have a share.

All of you can have a share.

Here you are.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Okay.

Give me one.

- Pass it behind. - Give me one.

Here you are.

Here you are.

Get out.

- Get out. - Who wants candies?

Come to me.

Get out now.

Get out now.

Get out of my way.

Get out.

Liu's Village doesn't like you.

You shouldn't stay here.

Leave.

We come to give food,

and we don't have bad intentions.

We don't need them.

Get out.

Liu's Village doesn't need you.

Leave.

Take them away.

You're liars.

They are liars.

What are you doing, Mrs. Liu?

They are jinks.

Jinks have come here.

Liu's Village will be destroyed.

Get out.

Come on.

Send Mrs. Liu back now.

Liu's Village will suffer.

Go back now.

- Stop talking nonsense here. - Liu's Village will suffer.

Liu's Village will suffer.

Sir and Miss,

I'm so sorry.

Mrs. Liu

is crazy.

Don't

take her words seriously.

- Yes. - Don't take her words seriously.

It doesn't matter.

Don't take her words seriously.

Come on. Pass it behind.

Who doesn't get the candy?

Here you are.

Everyone,

these two kind people

are here to help us

and give us things.

Shouldn't we

thank them?

- Yes. - Thank you.

Thank you.

That's what we should do. It doesn't matter.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

You're so kind.

Yes.

Can it be eaten?

People don't have much food

to eat here,

and they just

eat it to fill the belly.

What a shabby table.

Let me help you.

Thank you.

Okay.

It's done.

Madam, why doesn't the table get repaired

since it's broken?

Where are the men of the village?

Most of them go to sea.

Go to sea?

Where do they go?

Their ships are different,

and the places they go

differ from each other.

Some of them go to Huangzhou,

and some of them go to Chuanhai.

My husband

goes to the furthermost place,

Yunzhou.

Yunzhou?

Yes.

All of them

go to sea to make money.

Madam,

he is a man.

Will you use him or not?

Why do you grab me?

I don't do manual labor.

Help them.

This gentleman...

He is very capable.

I...

He's very capable.

Why hasn't he repaired the table

after half of the day past?

I can tell this gentleman

doesn't do manual labor

at the first sight.

It's done

by your wife, right?

Yes.

She helps me

with manual labor.

Occasionally.

What's wrong?

What's wrong? Let me see.

You're so careless.

My hand is dirty.

Although you haven't done much work,

you've sweated a lot.

Miss,

you can't marry a man

who has nothing but only a beautiful face.

After all,

he can't avoid working, right?

Yes.

Alright. Go away.

- It's... - It's not a big deal.

It's difficult.

You won't feel tired after working together.

Mrs. Zhen,

I picked vegetables just now.

Cook them

for the two kind people.

Check it.

It's repaired.

This gentleman is good at learning.

He's

capable of working.

By the way, Gentleman,

my chicken house is also broken.

Can you

help me to repair it?

No problem.

Madam, tell the villagers

that they can ask him

for help.

He loves working the most.

Great.

Just ask him for help.

Mr. Ning, capable people have to work more.

Great.

Go.

Come on.

- Gentleman. - Go.

Go and repair my chicken house.

Hurry up.

Slow down.

Don't get injured.

Come on.

It's here.

This is my chicken house.

Come on.

Look. It's broken.

Please repair it.

My chick runs away.

Mr. Wang,

I've achieved

the agreement with you.

Chief Yuan,

why is Haoxue Cosmetics' cargo

not here?

Don't mention that.

After we robbed Mrs. Ning's cargo,

Ning Yuxuan searched the wharf

crazily.

Fortunately, I stored the cargo separately

so that he didn't discover it.

Ning Yuxuan really

likes his wife.

Although

he didn't get something on me,

he's kept an eye

on the Dragon Gang.

I'm afraid

we have to be careful during these days.

Chief Yuan,

thanks to your hard work with your members.

You can deal with the cargo.

You can sell or keep it

as you like.

I only want your honesty.

Thank you, Mr. Wang.

Chief Yuan,

please forgive my talkativeness.

How do you deal with

the shipmen of those ships?

According to the rule,

we should avoid killing people

after robbing cargo.

I threw them into the sea,

and I don't care

if they are alive or not.

It has nothing to do with us.

Good.

Chief Yuan,

you did things precisely and fast.

You're very excellent.

From now on,

the Dragon Gang

and Sea Trade Guild are united officially

and corporate honestly.

Chief Yuan,

this is the guild's token.

You can go to

all Sea Trade Guild's places

with it.

You're me

when having this token.

You're so generous

to give me this precious, Mr. Wang.

We're family from now on.

And we'll do

more important deals.

(Sea)

Everyone,

because of

your united devotion,

our things

get repaired

so fast.

However,

we need to

specially thank two persons.

They are our benefactors,

Mr. and Mrs. Ning.

Mr. Ning,

our village

is worse than Haifang.

And we don't have

many activities to do at night.

We'll

just dance around the fire.

Come on.

Let's dance.

Come on.

Come on.

- Come with us. - I...

Go.

Come on.

I don't know dancing.

It's easy.

Right.

(It turns out to be easy)

(to live happily.)

Come on. Let's dance.

Perhaps

you've been not afraid of fire.

Come on.

Let's dance.

Although I don't know

what happened

to you before,

I'm going to accompany you

to pass it.

Your physical injury

should get recovered soon,

and so should

your psychological injury.

Come on.

Come on.

It doesn't matter. I'm here.

Go.

Go.

One, two, three, four.

Turn around.

♪Summer stars, autumn night♪

♪Who is wandering under the moon in my heart♪

♪The deepest story with the shallowest goodbye♪

♪After passing by, I can only meet you in my dream♪

♪The wind can't breeze the long street of time♪

♪The burning yearning will never cool♪

♪Two hearts meet again foreshadowing love♪

♪How can I describe it when we look into each other's eyes♪

♪Take a life time to write the story♪

♪Together with you♪

♪Company you♪

♪Just for your glance and smile♪

♪The first promise means the forever love♪

♪Fireworks all over the sky light up your night♪

♪Take a life time♪

♪To write the story with you gradually♪

♪Just like this♪

♪Our love goes on and on♪

♪The day we first met, the year when we get old♪

♪My heart and my love will never vanish♪

♪My heart and my love will never vanish♪
