EPISODE 17

Come on.

Let's eat.

I'll get some for Captain Fu tomorrow.

Goodness.

Little River God, why are you being so kind today?

Thank you.

We're one big family.

We have been giving you so much trouble lately.

I can't offer expensive food.

I can only get some shrimps and crabs from the river.

I hope you'll like it.

It's fresh.

Where did you get them?

Did you get them while you are salvaging the body?

How could an outstanding person like me

go into the river and catch these myself?

Of course, I bought them.

Those fishmongers will keep fresh stock of crabs in hand.

They'll normally keep for themselves.

But due to my reputation in Tientsin,

they'll still sell some to me even if they don't sell to others.

I think guys like you have many tricks

with a lot of secret codes that no one will understand.

And whatever book it is, there are only those codes.

How will it help?

It's just to prevent the others from finding out their true strength.

Are there any codes like that at our police station?

You're right.

Our last director

loves codes, telegrams and that kind of things.

He's obsessed with them.

He even asked us to write our leave application in Morse code

to increase our safety awareness. He's too crazy.

I think

he was a coward, and he didn't trust anyone.

He can't use his brain properly because he's old.

He always forgot the safe's password and changed it quite frequently.

He's a real pain in the ass. It was really hard for us.

He sounds interesting. Where is he now?

You just reminded me. He's been dead for years now.

Yes.

-Dead? -Yes.

His wife buried the codebook he used for his whole life with him.

There are tons of encrypted files can't be opened at the police station.

They're taking up the room like rubbish.

What's this over here?

Taking up so much room.

Are there no other ways?

We have figured out

the weakest link for each Yishengmen's domain.

If the time comes,

the insider planted in Yishengmen will collaborate with us from within.

We could take them down by surprise.

It's a plan that Mr. Hu started before.

We were planning to leave you a clean business

after we have resolved all of these matters.

But now, only you could approve the plan.

How about the consulate?

It's settled.

The plan will take place on the day of the meeting.

It may seem like a complete overhaul.

But honestly, it is just a turf war.

An eye for an eye.

I don't give a damn.

Don't involve any human life.

Don't worry.

Only the best can join the overhaul.

They will be all right.

Not only our men.

I don't want Yishengmen's side

to have any casualties too.

But it's an overhaul.

Bloodshed is unavoidable.

I'm the boss now.

I don't want any violence involved.

Also, this must change from now onward.

YISHENGMEN

Mom, do we get paid this time?

Shut up.

We're praying now.

There aren't a lot of people here.

Will they refuse to pay us?

Stupid girl!

Be serious.

Be sincere.

Yishengmen isn't sincere too.

They hired us to do some prayers, but no one stops by and looks at us.

What do you know?

Their supervisor told me

that they have a meeting in the consulate today.

So do you think it'll be more effective

if the meeting and the prayers happen at the same time?

President Ding.

You have prohibited items on the list

which you don't want to deliver.

Mr. Cui, you have manpower,

but fewer ships and ports than Mr. Ding.

What do you think about it?

Mr. Consul, if the ships are not enough,

we could buy more at any time.

Shipment is just on top of the list.

We can't make a living by just depending on shipping.

We focus more on other industries.

Gambling house, drinking pubs and nightclubs.

In Tientsin,

we can get ourselves involved in every possible business.

These are the measures for earning high profit.

We have always been on top of Tientsin's shipping industry.

We have the lowest price,

best shipping capacity and shortest shipping time.

We also have the biggest harbors.

Most importantly, we have the lowest risks.

We're discussing the shipping rights.

I believe you understand the priority in this matter, Mr. Consul.

What about the tax rate, Mr. Ding? What do you think about that?

I think

we can accept 2%.

Did you interpret what I said?

What's wrong?

There's something wrong with her.

Mr. Consul, we're not that picky.

We don't have any prohibition.

As for the tax rate,

we'll pay whatever you want.

Are we asking the blessings from humans

or from the gods?

-From the gods of course. -That's it.

Humans can be fooled.

But gods can't possibly be.

I got it.

Are you sure? What do you know?

If you fool others now, you'll get fooled in the future.

Don't just turn a blind eye.

Be serious.

-Go inside. -Please put them away from the lights.

There's silk inside that must be kept from direct sunlight.

I believe we're...

What are you doing?

To show our sincerity,

we will give you 48 stores all in the prime locations.

A rental free contract for three years.

This is our attitude.

But we fought for these properties.

They declare turf wars again and again.

Our men risked their lives to protect them.

Sea transportation relies on natural conditions.

Chinese businesses are all about good luck.

More than 100 were found dead on their dock.

There are even zombies that run around and bite people.

If you cooperate with them,

you'll get bad luck.

To also get the cooperation right with the consulate,

they even went as far as rob us by force.

Mr. Consul.

Be careful when you're working with this kind of hypocrite.

Who?

It's Mr. Guo.

You scared me to death. But you come here quite often.

Am I not welcomed?

You can live here if you want.

-Are you free lately? -I'm always at your service.

If you need me, I'll always make myself available.

-I really need your help on something. -Tell me.

Do what you always do.

-Whose graveyard? -The former police chief.

Him?

-Do you know him? -I paid his grave a visit.

Did you rob his grave?

Yes. But his grave is shabby.

He was a chief.

But he had nothing in his grave except for some cheap books.

-Where are the books? -I threw them away.

It's unlucky to keep them.

Those books are what I want. Why did you throw them away?

Over there.

Check those that are under the tables.

Mr. Guo, are you looking for some treasure map?

Goodness, be gentle.

I'm sorry, dude.

Those are nice glass bowls.

-You broke the whole set. -Put it on my tab.

-I'll pay for that if I have a chance. -Forget it.

To be frank, Mr. Guo.

I came across some unexpected wealth lately.

I'll be generous this time.

But it was pretty strange and bizarre.

Someone came here one day to buy something.

The person didn't bargain at all and paid my initial price.

Guess what the person bought.

Bodies?

How did you know?

People come to you for jewels and antiquities, don't they?

Why don't they go to the jewelry store if they are rich?

You're right.

But don't think that it's some easy money.

She asked for ten bodies.

He asked for the bodies that just died. Wasn't that strange?

-Who bought them? -An old lady.

She dressed elegantly.

She called some helpers to take away those bodies in wooden boxes.

It is strange indeed.

All right, I need to go now.

Mr. Guo, you haven't paid me for the books.

Just keep the balance as a favor.

Wait.

Here, freshly fried doughnut twists.

-Just cut to the chase. -I like your efficiency.

Here, have a look.

Is this the codebook that you mentioned?

Where did you get it?

I got it from the former police chief's grave.

-Do you want me to find clues from this? -I have faith in your abilities.

Are you investigating the Ancient Evil Gang?

Is this the codebook that you wanted?

Are you investigating the Ancient Evil Gang?

How's the progress?

Yes, you're right.

Now it's the critical moment.

If you don't help me, I will reach a dead end.

Fine, I'll keep the book for now.

I'll let you know if I find any clues.

Take back the fried doughnut.

I didn't expect

that the Chamber of Commerce attacked us so early.

If you hadn't told me earlier,

not only would I lose the meeting with the consulate,

my status in Tientsin would also crumble.

Crafty.

So crafty.

-Mr. Cui. -What?

I have another suggestion.

-Would you listen to what I'll say? -Of course I do.

We have reached this far,

so you must consolidate at the end.

What do you mean?

I saved these up for years.

Ask your men to send these to the consulate.

Show your sincerity to those foreigners.

Now is the perfect time to strike.

Let the foreigners totally give up on the Chamber of Commerce.

Is it nice?

Yeah.

Fa-xiang really knows how to do his business.

Spicy fried doughnut twists!

How did he come up with that idea?

These are just regular doughnuts.

There are super spicy too.

Stop! You can't take spicy food.

You'll feel sick.

I want to eat with you.

I made you sad these few days.

At least you know it.

-But De-you, -What?

if you want to apologize, could you at least be sincerer?

When you buy fried doughnut twists for a Tientsin girl,

why didn't you buy her some fried doughnut sticks too?

Then, I would like to ask you something, Tientsin girl.

Do you know ghost fried doughnut twists?

-What did you say? -Fried doughnut twists need a lot of oil.

Nowadays, oil and rice are expensive.

Some greedy businessmen will go to the black market

and buy those bodies that has been buried recently.

They'll use the oil extracted from their bodies to fry the doughnuts.

Not only do they taste good, it's economical too.

This is called the ghost fried doughnut twists.

-Are you serious? -Of course.

I made it up to make you feel sick.

I hate you!

I don't know about the fried doughnut twists,

but someone did buy some bodies.

Are you trying to fool me again?

Do you remember the fat guy from the black market?

He told me

someone bought ten bodies from him.

They were taken away in large wooden boxes.

Is it true then?

Silly girl! The bodies are expensive!

Even your lifetime saving can never afford the price.

Wait!

Bodies?

Large wooden boxes.

That day, when I was doing rituals in Yishengmen,

a few people were moving some large wooden boxes in.

The length of each of them is the size of a man.

There are exactly ten boxes.

Yishengmen?

Yes.

-Why did they buy bodies? -To raise them?

What?

Wait here.

-I'll go in and take a look. -Bring me along too.

-How are you getting in? -Just like how you are getting in.

-Sorry, there's only one. -Where did you get it?

Various costumes are compulsory for adventures.

Don't you know that?

Wait here.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

-Have you eaten? -Yes.

It's hard to stand guard here alone.

You're here alone too, aren't you?

That's why I came here to chat with you.

Is everything all right?

Of course, it's late already.

Oh yes,

there were some boxes moved in during the daytime.

But I didn't see them.

They have been moved away.

Moved away? When?

They have been moved to the consulate.

I heard they were treasures for the foreigners.

-For the foreigners? -Yes.

It should be something really nice.

Do you know who brought them here?

An old lady.

I didn't see her before.

An old lady.

She dressed elegantly.

She called some helpers to take away the bodies in wooden boxes.

Do you know what's inside?

How would I know?

Why are you asking so many questions?

Just finding some topic to chat.

I never see you around before.

What's wrong with you?

Don't you remember me?

Who are you?

It's me.

Who?

The Shark.

The Shark?

Are you fooling around with me?

Is it that interesting to make fun of me?

Eel, Hairtail said he couldn't recognize me.

We should see some effects through the virus cultivation.

We've started a deeper research.

I believe we'll soon develop a vaccine against this parasite.

That would be brilliant. Thanks, professor.

Don't mention it.

This is a breakthrough in the medical and biological research field.

Thank you for providing samples and information.

It's my pleasure.

I have some good news for you as my token of gratitude.

Good news?

The German Consul really appreciates the contribution you made.

I told him indirectly that

something went wrong during your meeting with the British Consulate.

He sent someone to mediate for you.

I think you'll have the chance

to attend the party hosted by the British Consulate.

Have a good chat again with the British Consul.

Maybe you'll stand a chance to change his mind.

Really?

Thank you so much.

Your invitation card, please.

Please come in.

Your invitation card, please.

Your invitation card, please.

Please come in.

Your invitation card, please.

Invitation card.

Invitation card.

I'm so sorry.

You're not allowed to go in without the invitation card.

They're honored guests of the consulate.

I'm so sorry.

Please come in.

Please come in.

Who are you?

The British Consul invited me to perform Chinese traditional opera.

I'm just cramming in at the last minute.

Ms. Wang.

I think you must have forgotten your invitation cards.

Yes, you're right.

Young Master, there's a letter for you.

-From who? -I don't know.

Is the car ready?

-Yes, it is waiting at the gate. -Let's go.

Shall I bring along the letter?

No, I'll read it later.

You look gorgeous.

Of course.

It fits you so well.

Give that dress to Ms. Gu.

Are you kidding me? I don't want to owe you anything.

You look good, like a river dog.

I mean like the northern pike, so spotty.

All right, both of you.

Go get something to drink in the hall.

I'm going to perform soon. I need to get ready for that.

Okay, go on.

Here.

What are you doing?

Didn't we make a deal?

We made a deal to lock the door and keep them in

just in case there's a chaos outside to keep them out from danger.

Why did you knock them out?

How would I know if you didn't make yourself clear?

Let's go.

I don't know why, but I feel so good now.

Water from the sky.

Water from the ground.

Both unite.

Wind from above.

Wind from below.

All wind clears the evil.

What are you doing?

You are stupid to miss the free stuff.

You'll be starving if you miss the free food.

Don't just keep eating.

Take it.

It tastes pretty good.

Enough already! We need to look for the boxes.

I'm thirsty.

The free drinks are wasted!

These five groups are prime numbers.

A natural number that doesn't have

a positive divider other than one and itself.

But what are they for?

"The hall is huge with crossed trees.

It's wrapped and protected by the water.

It looks grand with boundless water.

It's really a prosperous land!"

Bottoms up!

How much did you drink?

-What's wrong? -Don't drink

if you can't handle it. You're holding us up.

Are you worried about me?

What?

Do you want it?

Just tell me if you want it.

I'll give it to you.

Why are you in a rush?

Grouse.

Why are you here?

We're here to find some large boxes.

Have you seen some large boxes?

Yishengmen sent them to bribe the British Consul.

Yishengmen is bribing the British Consul?

Ying saw them herself.

She saw large wooden boxes around the size of a man.

What kind of world is this?

What's wrong with you?

From civilians

to national officials.

Can't they see anything else other than money?

Those things in the boxes are not valuables.

But they might kill people.

Kill people?

The zombies.

Are the British Consul and Yishengmen

related to the Ancient Evil Gang?

I'm not sure. Let's find the boxes first.

There's not much space down there to store such large boxes.

You could check upstairs.

This kind of discreet trading must be hidden somewhere.

You go to the party. Keep an eye on Yishengmen and the British consul.

All right.

-Wait. -What?

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

Can you take care of her for me?

Mr. Guo.

Mr. Guo and Little Sorceress love to drink.

You're no stranger to that.

You must have more experience in taking care of that more than I do.

You're the master of that.

Sorry that I can't help.

Interesting, hidden puzzle.

XIAOXIGUAN PRISON

Take him.

He's in.

You'll never get out of the Xiaoxiguan Prison.

Xiguan Special Needs

President Ding, you still have the nerve to come here.

Did you come here for free meals

because your pier couldn't make it anymore?

I'm here for a friend.

You have a friend here?

Open the heart.

Let the soul return.

Lend me your life.

Before you return to the ground.

What are you doing?

-Reviving technique! -What?

She made a skeleton array.

She used nine skeletons

to revive one dead person.

It's an evil trick that would bring misfortune.

It's a horrendous taboo.

She'll sacrifice her life.

As long as I can see my son again,

I don't mind sacrificing my life.

Tian-ming?

Do you mean the guard of the Chamber of Commerce, Tian-ming Hu?

What Tian-ming?

Who is that?

I'm guessing you're Steward Hu's wife, Mrs. Hu, right?

I'm De-you Guo.

Little River God, I've heard so much about you.

I'm so sorry, everyone. I have some matter to attend to.

It's fine.

If you're busy,

we should wait for you no matter how long it takes.

We could wait,

but the matters discussed in the Chamber of Commerce couldn't wait.

Gentlemen, let's discuss the matters now.

Last time, some men who joined the Yishengmen's overhaul,

are still arrested in the police station.

Crazy Cui even took care of the police station.

Even if we pay them, we can't get them out.

Don't you have a good relationship with the police?

It will be easy to get them out.

This must be the information leaked by the mole.

We must investigate and do some overhaul.

That's easier said than done. A human's heart could change.

How should we end this?

Other than Yishengmen, other businesses will also be affected.

Also, some small gangs are starting to provoke us.

It's been a long time since we had these problems.

If the former president were still here, these problems wouldn't have occurred.

Even if Steward Hu is here, problems like these wouldn't occur.
