[The Ingenious One]

[Episode 24: When I heartbreakingly miss you]

Sit there.

We sent out all the shadowmen.

And Kang Qiao is leading them personally.

You and I just need to wait here without worry.

They won't return empty-handed.

Mr. Mo,

people who injured their sinews and bones usually have no appetite for food.

Mr. Mo doesn't seem to be one of them.

Food can act as medicine.

One trotter a day

will help the wounds heal faster.

Fine, keep eating then.

You'd better buy horse hooves and sheep hooves

and taste them all.

Don't try to fool me.

Sheep hooves are considered hot in nature.

It's not good for the wounds.

I can't just eat recklessly.

Your days are numbered anyway.

Just do whatever you want.

What did you say?

It's true that food can act as medicine.

But Mr. Mo, you know only part of it.

Your wounds were caused by a whip.

You must still be applying the Golden Medicine for injuries, right?

Yes.

It's a miraculous medicine used to stop bleeding,

because it contains black cohosh,

sweet flag, and myrrh.

But the most important ones

are the fossilized bones and the male ground beetles.

But the oily collagen of the trotter

can make the male ground beetles

lose their effect most easily.

So, according to what you said,

you've eaten trotters for so many days,

it seems that pyemia caused by the whip wounds

would be inevitable.

Don't scare me.

I'm fine.

Look at your fingers.

This…

What's going on?

This…

Pyemia exactly begins with blood stasis.

It looks like the disease has just begun.

Unfortunately, once the disease is developed,

I'm afraid there's no cure for it currently.

Mr. Mo,

why don't we get down to business?

What business?

Look at me.

Help me.

Well,

there are some things in the world that we humans can deal with

and some that we cannot.

We have to deal with them one by one.

Look.

There are more than ten private banks in Nandu, big and small.

Plus, there's Tang's Gambling House and its branches.

Mr. Mo, how many shadowmen do you have

to keep an eye on so many places at the same time?

Don't hit me when I'm down.

Are you trying to find out my situation?

There's no harm in talking about it.

For now, we just need to keep an eye on the Tang's Gambling House.

Got it.

Even if they melt the official ingots into silver of small bits,

those will still be some glittering bits of silver.

At this critical moment,

depositing such a great mount of new silver into a private bank all of a sudden

will definitely raise suspicions.

So they're most likely to transport this sum of money

to the Tang's Gambling House

in exchange for new money, right?

Is there anything that you don't know?

Besides, there's one more thing

that is quite interesting.

Are you going to say that the silver robbery case hasn't been solved,

why did the government open the city gate

and order to ban the market closure?

Mr. Mo, you are the only one who knows me.

The government must be doing so

to lure the suspects to appear.

This is quite an ingenious plan.

But if the case can't be solved in the end,

the decision-maker will surely be criticized.

He might even

be accused of neglect of duty.

Shao Yiheng is such a useless person.

He doesn't have that kind of courage or insight.

It must have become a big deal

and the court sent someone here to investigate.

Since you've guessed everything,

are you still going to rob the official silver?

Of course.

Even if the emperor is here,

I'll still have to get my silver back.

That's my silver.

Even if I lose all my family assets in the future

to seek for peace of mind,

that will be my business.

I see.

Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore.

Tell me if you want to eat anything.

Don't leave.

Tell me what I should do with this.

I brought you some secret medicines,

but I was afraid that you're a picky eater,

so I drizzled them over the trotter.

One of the medicines is very effective

for stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis.

It's made of green walnut skin.

I accidentally got some on my hand too.

Leave!

Don't worry.

It'll be washed off in a couple of days.

Leave!

[Tang's Gambling House Headquarters]

Place your bets quickly.

Place your bets.

Mr. Yuan, look.

You've changed more than 6,000 taels of new silver

for old silver in just half a day.

What's wrong with that?

Master is not here.

I really can't make the decision.

Cut the cackle.

Your master has already agreed to this long ago.

Please come in.

Sir, please come in.

Please come in.

It's him.

Are you sure?

This person has been in and out several times.

Every time he went in empty-handed

and came back out with a cloth bag.

Judging by his way of walking, it must be a heavy bag.

I'll go first.

Young Master,

is this the shadowman Lady Yanan mentioned?

Yes.

But I didn't expect that Kang Qiao is also a martial artist.

He's just so-so.

This is very interesting.

Nangong Fang is following the example of Yuntai Sect and digging into the art of business.

Meanwhile,

Mr. Mo is learning from the Lingyuan Sect to train secret soldiers.

If they keep on doing so and the two become one,

wouldn't that be a happy thing for all?

Go ahead.

Do what I told you to do.

Yes, Young Master.

[Hero Restaurant]

Sir,

what would you like?

A pot of wine

and two dishes of snacks that go with the wine.

Okay, please wait a moment.

Qiao, I've checked.

There's no back door inside.

He can't escape.

The silver has changed hands.

Should we keep our eye on the person or the silver?

The silver.

How did Ye Xiao teach you?

Someone has been tailing you all the way, but you didn't even know at all.

Go now!

He has just turned 17.

The three shadowmen sent to spy on Tang Xiao

are still missing.

They have most likely been killed already.

Four people were lost in just four days.

"Those who are skilled at warfare

control their opponents but are not controlled by them."

The sooner we face them,

the better our chance is for winning.

Those are crazy people.

Have you ever thought

about the consequences of confronting them?

Mr. Mo, we've known each other for some time.

You should be clear

that the only person who can join hands with you now

is the person right in front of you.

For revenge,

are you really not afraid of anything?

Mr. Mo, you are with me.

That is also my confidence.

You knew long ago that this would happen.

Yes.

Or no.

The fanatics of the Lingyuan Sect are extremely vicious.

They framed Mr. Mo and killed my brothers.

I can't just let it go.

Now we've already alerted them.

The only clue can no longer be followed up either.

Although the clue we currently have cannot be followed up,

there's still a new clue

that is waiting for us to investigate.

What clue?

Charcoal.

Right.

Melting silver requires charcoal.

A lot of charcoal has to be burned in order to melt 100,000 taels of silver.

Mr. Yun, please wait a second.

You and I are fellow apprentices.

Feel free to say what you want to say.

Do you find anything strange about what happened today?

I don't know whether the Lingyuan Sect has arranged a master-hand

to secretly protect people who transported the silver

or they knew from the beginning that they would be shadowed

and arranged the deployment beforehand.

Are you suspecting that someone divulged the information?

The shadowmen under Mr. Mo

were all born and raised in Nandu.

Our spies are all over the city.

Unexpectedly, Miss Shu was the first

to find a clue about the silversmiths in the black market.

I didn't find the person,

but I stumbled across another piece of information.

What is it?

Those silversmiths in Zhushan Street

who helped the robbers dispose and melt the stolen silver

were all hired away overnight.

Do you know where they went after being hired?

I haven't found out yet.

I've already verified the ins and outs

of what happened.

There's nothing suspicious.

What is suspicious is that it was too coincidental.

Since you're so suspicious about it,

why didn't you talk about it in Mr. Mo's presence just now?

We should work together when we face a strong enemy.

Mr. Mo is an impatient person.

I'm afraid that if I talked about this in his presence, it would drive a wedge between you two.

Mr. Kang, you are meticulous and thoughtful.

But I have my own judgment

about those around me.

Why are you in the mood to invite me

to drink and enjoy the moon today?

I've been feeling tired lately,

but I keep thinking of the wine that night.

I still remember we were by the riverside that day.

You came to see me with some wine.

You meant to comfort me,

but unexpectedly you got drunk yourself.

Just forget these embarrassing things.

Originally, we said we would take revenge together.

I've taken my revenge,

but you haven't yet.

This time, I need to stay

and keep an eye on you.

Whatever I said, they were all drunk words.

Stop thinking about them.

It seems that they lost nearly 100 taels again.

They probably won't make much profit today.

You're even caring about the revenue of the gambling house today.

This is my shelter.

Of course I care about it.

With your ability,

you can find a place to stay anywhere.

In fact, to me, Liansheng House

has long been more than simply an ordinary gambling house.

When I was cultivating in the mountains,

I always thought I liked peace and quiet.

But now,

I miss the bustle and nuances of life here.

If one can forget all the burden they carry and be a worldly person,

of course it would be great.

Yes.

Actually, have you ever thought about

where we would be now

if we haven't met each other

in Baiju Town

that day?

Those who are destined to meet will meet someday.

Then, for the encounter between people,

how much of it do you think is the will of Heaven

and how much of it is humans' intentions?

I don't know.

I only know that it's hard to go against the will of Heaven.

It's hard to go against the will of Heaven.

It's hard to predict a human's mind.

It's true that we should fully enjoy ourselves when we feel pleased.

But I'm a person

who takes drunk words seriously.

What's the matter with you?

How was your talk with Mr. Mo?

I haven't heard you mention him for days.

They can no longer follow up the clue they currently have.

Mr. Mo's men were killed.

According to Kang Qiao,

the killer was a young lady.

The weapon she was holding was very strange.

But I've found a new clue.

So soon?

Yes.

Although the Tang's Gambling House is now sealed off,

I found another perfect place

to wait for windfalls,

where we can certainly catch the bandits of Lingyuan Sect all at once.

They aren't people of goodwill.

What's your way that makes you

have the matter well in hand?

Come with me tomorrow

and you'll see.

Let's drink.

Save some for me.

Young lady.

Lady Yanan, I failed to protect you.

Sorry to let you get frightened.

You're disregarding people's lives.

Young Master often teaches me

that we can't show our mercy

if we don't use tough means.

Lady Yanan, please don't worry.

I will dispose of the dead bodies.

You are not my subordinate,

but I still need to teach you today.

A fierce wolf kills only for food.

A mad dog kills for no reason.

Everyone is afraid of fierce wolves

and everyone hates mad dogs.

They will all die under the rod.

I'll keep that in mind.

Young Master has been waiting.

Lady Yanan, please don't lose track of time.

Sister, I'm really sorry for troubling you again

to deliver the letters late at night.

I wonder if you have changed your taste

after all these years.

Kou Yuanjie,

don't put on an act.

You promised me you would sit tight.

Why did you order Bi Yuewu to stop the Yuntai Sect from investigating?

If she hadn't interfered,

Ye Xiao would have died by now.

Right, it was my order.

But how would I have thought

that Yun Xiang was so fast?

If we don't stop him now,

aren't we going to bury the 100,000 taels of silver

along with Ye Xiao?

Yun Xiang might have become suspicious of me.

If he threatens you,

I'll kill him.

I promise no one will know.

No need.

I'll just make use of the opportunity

to investigate Ye Xiao.

It's a good chance to dispel his suspicion.

Do you find anything strange about what happened today?

I don't know whether the Lingyuan Sect has arranged a master-hand

to secretly protect people who transported the silver

or they knew from the beginning that they would be shadowed

and arranged the deployment beforehand.

Unexpectedly, Miss Shu was the first

to find a clue about the silversmiths in the black market.

What is suspicious is that it was too coincidental.

If the person who betrayed you is someone closest to you,

you would also think of her first,

wouldn't you?

You admit that you're one of the Lingyuan rebels?

Three years ago, I traveled around in Ganzhou

and saved a dying disciple of the Lingyuan Sect.

Did you secretly learn their martial arts

before finding an opportunity to escape?

Yes.

They aren't people of goodwill.

What's your way that makes you have the matter well in hand?

Shu Yanan is the only person I can think of.

It's just that I can't verify that she's an orphan of the Shu family as she said.

I tried many times to test her,

but she didn't give herself away.

Mr. Mo, even if you don't trust her,

you should trust me.

But I have my own judgment

about those around me.

Yanan.

You're smart.

By doing so,

even if he's suspicious of your identity,

it would still be hard for him to guess that you're the eldest daughter of the Lingyuan Sect's master.

If you're related to the Lingyuan Sect,

why would you help him deal with your own fellow apprentices?

Sister,

why don't you just stay here?

You can cross the river by boat tomorrow morning.

Leave the rest to me.

From what I know about you,

this is your real purpose, right?

I'm just worried about your safety.

Worried about my safety?

Mother is old now.

You're worried that I'll compete with you for the position of pavilion manager, right?

If you want to compete for it, I can't stop you.

What if I'm really going to compete with you?

Sister, do you remember when we were young,

you brought back a fawn from the forest?

We competed to feed it and held it in our arms to play with it.

Later, you were afraid that I would do something out of line.

So you didn't allow me to touch it again.

Stop talking about it.

Then, I dropped it to death right in front of you.

You've really never changed since childhood.

People

would not change.

Sister, the same goes for you too.

You're from the Lingyuan Sect.

The mark given by our mother

can never be washed off.

Yun Xiang has targeted the source of the charcoal

and is just waiting for Ye Xiao to buy charcoal.

Bring this matter to an end as soon as possible

lest it causes more trouble.

Okay.

I have nothing to do.

I'll go urge Ye Xiao.

Take care, Sister.

I heard from Jin

that the hairpin you had before was broken.

Use this one from now on.

You need to remember to tell me

about your past later.

Those that I haven't experienced with you,

I want to know them all.

Young Master, why are you visiting me late at night?

I'm here to ask about the silver.

A small half of it was melted just now.

This is different from what you said before.

Not to mention other things,

the key problem is there's not enough charcoal.

The amount of charcoal in one delivery is only enough for one or two days of burning.

But if the charcoal is delivered frequently,

others will easily notice the anomaly.

That's easy to solve.

Just find a couple more places to buy charcoal. You know very well where to buy it.

The government has lost silver twice in a few days.

People are already alerted.

I see.

A delay may cause trouble.

Hurry up and buy charcoal.

And increase the speed of silver casting.

[Liansheng House]

No need.

Go find Yun Xiang and ask him to come down.

Okay.

Let me tell you.

Xingyuan Firm is the largest charcoal factory in Nandu.

At this time of the year,

no households would need to use a great amount of charcoal

but Xingyuan Firm received a big purchase order.

I reckoned the amount of charcoal

they bought before.

It should have almost been used up by now

and it's time for them to buy more.

I've sent people to surround the charcoal factory.

We're just waiting for them to show up.

Come with me.

Just give me a second.

I'll wait for you in the carriage. Hurry up.

I want to go get a helper first.

Who would you like to look for?

It will be dangerous this time.

It would be safer to have one more person.

Do you really

disregard what I said yesterday?

Mr. Kang, I think you're worrying too much.

I don't think anyone in the world

can fool me.

[Charcoal Factory]

[Xingyuan Firm]

It's worthwhile to spend so many days

following all the clues and investigating.

Finally, it's all going to come out in the wash today.

"A journey is only half way done until it's completely done."

The closer we are to success,

the more cautious we need to be.

Don't lecture me.

If I didn't protect you,

you wouldn't even know where you would have been now.

I was wondering

why Master hasn't cared or asked about me these days.

Because you've been protecting me in secret.

Thank you.

I'm glad you know.

Let's talk about the immediate matter first.

For the silver I've lost,

I have to take it all back.

For the lost lives of my subordinates,

I'll make him pay tenfold back.

Mr. Mo, you know what I want.

Don't worry.

I won't kill the person in charge.

Come in.

They've loaded the wagons

and are awaiting the order to set off.

Ready?

Everything is ready.

Good.

Get ready. They're coming out.

How many wagons came out?

Five.

Then they're probably trying to lure us away.

There are more than ten wagons in the yard,

all full of goods.

If the wagons are full, we can't tell which ones are real

just by looking at the ruts.

If we have enough people, then let's follow all of them.

Yes.

Make sure nothing goes wrong.

Seven wagons came out with this fleet.

Mr. Mo, how many people do you have left?

What's wrong?

They knew beforehand that they're being watched,

so they would surely be more cautious.

I'm afraid that these two fleets

are just for misleading others.

So we need more people.

You're right.

But all these are expected

and we've already prepared for it.

You're getting more and more thoughtful.

I probably won't be able to fool you in a few days.

I've been with you for so long.

Of course I have improved myself.

It must be this fleet.

These people are extremely vicious.

Miss Shu, you don't have to put yourself in danger.

I'll go.

Yanan, stay here.

Kang Qiao will follow the fleet.

I have another important task for you.

It will be very dangerous.

The older one is the owner of Guanghui Bank, Mo Bufan.

He's also a suspect of the government treasury robbery case.

As for that younger one…

It must be Young Master Xiang then.

According to what Magistrate Shao said that day,

the person could be Su Mingyu too.

Su Mingyu comes from a family of merchants

but has no interest in business.

How could he be scheming?

Look at that man. He walks with a calm gait

and maintains his poise.

He must be experienced and astute.

It must be Young Master Xiang.

Your Highness.

It is indeed Young Master Xiang.

All kinds of people show up

as we shadow the suspects.

Don't underestimate them.

They were most likely the ones who fought with the robbers

outside the gambling house yesterday.

As long as we keep an eye on Young Master Xiang, we'll find something.

Split up into two groups.

We need to keep a close eye on both the charcoal wagons and Young Master Xiang.

Uncle.

If I had known that shadowing the suspects

takes several hours and it's so boring,

I wouldn't have come.

Since it's not dark yet,

can I go walk around?

If you do this again,

I won't let you come with me next time.

Go. Go.

Li Bo, stay with her.

Yes, Sir.

Your Highness.

I've spent all my money.

Let's shop another day. Is that okay?

No way.

Find some money if you have no more.

[Liansheng House]

Liansheng House.

Is this Young Master Xiang's gambling house?

Yes, this is the one.

I've never been to a gambling house.

It's exactly a good opportunity to win some money.

Let's go.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, please don't.

The imperial court decrees

that females aren't allowed to enter a gambling house.

That is referring to ordinary females.

Go away.

Miss.

You're so beautiful.

I'll leave him to you.

What?

You want to stop me too?

Miss, you misunderstood.

The imperial court has imposed a curfew recently.

We are closing.

You Highness.

Lord Liu asked you to go back quickly.

They bought charcoal to melt silver.

Who would have thought that it's hidden in a pleasure boat on the inner lake?

It's dark under the lamp.

They are really bold.

My lord, you really deserve your reputation.

The water ghost robbery case is now solved.

Who said it's solved?

Detective Liu.

Pass down my order.

Quickly gather some men. We'll make the arrest tonight.

Yes, my lord.

Uncle.

How is it?

We've found it.

It's hidden in a pleasure boat on the lake.

Has everything been deployed?

We're just waiting for your order.

Okay.

Mr. Mo,

please wait for her a little longer.

For what?

Do you think those losers from the Nandu Government Office could have thought of this?

Don't get overly nervous about everything.

Don't forget

these losers were exactly the ones

who risked being dismissed from office

and lifted the Market Closure Order.

In my opinion,

even if Miss Shu brings back the information,

it's not necessarily…

Things have changed.

Just as you've guessed,

people from the government are also shadowing them.

And they've been following the fleet

all the way to the dock.

While it's still dark,

take control of the pleasure boat before those losers do.

The 100,000 taels of silver was originally mine.

Wait a second.

It would be fine if it's just an ordinary official.

The one who came is the Detective of Jiangnan,

Liu Gongquan.

Lord Liu.

The robbers are now drifting on the lake.

We've also set up an ambush.

But those who stalk the robbers seem to be aware of us.

They probably won't come tonight.

It's weird.

Apparently, Young Master Xiang and Mo Bufan

are also aiming at the pleasure boat.

But at the critical moment, they withdrew in a hurry.

That's not strange.

When I first arrived at the lake,

I noticed that a master-hand has been tailing us.

Uncle, why didn't you capture that person then?

In war, one should make a move when it's advantageous.

If I'm not fully confident and it would alert the enemy,

of course we shouldn't make the move.

I think the person who tailed us must be someone under Young Master Xiang.

That's good too,

at least we can capture the fanatics all at one stroke.

As long as we catch them red-handed,

the case can be closed.

Can it be closed?

Who is it? Watch your step!

We've expropriated the boat here.

Don't let the spy escape.

Let's go.
