[The Ingenious One]

[Episode 6: The Plan Within the Fire]

Listen up, everyone.

Find all the water buckets, bladders,

and pumps within the mansion,

and bring it to the silk warehouse.

Wake up the servants

who have yet to get up.

Let's go now.

[Yufeng Warehouse]

Young Master,

what should we do?

The fire is out of control.

It's burning everywhere.

Why don't we put out the fire first?

The raw silk is in second, third and fourth sections.

The silk is in the fifth section, the yarn is in the sixth section,

and the silk fabrics are in the seventh section.

Which ones should we prioritize to save?

Young Master, you have to make a decision quickly!

How can I decide?

It's no good!

The beam has collapsed,

Senior and Junior Chen are stuck inside and can't get out.

Which section are they in?

Section 3.

Section 3.

Let's save Section 3, save Section 3!

Young Master! Young Master!

You can't go.

The fire is raging inside.

There's no way you can step in anymore.

Young Master,

you can't risk your life for us servants!

What do you mean? Every life is important.

Step aside.

Young Master!

Young Master!

Young Master!

Be careful, Young Master.

Young Master!

Rong.

My lady.

The ashes have drifted here.

It proves that the fire is strong enough

and we are unable to save the raw silk.

The fire is too accurate and too strong.

We have to plan for the worst.

What do you mean?

My lady! My lady!

Calm down. Take your time.

Two servants are trapped in the fire.

Young Master...

Young Master...

Young Master rushed in to save them.

What?

My lady! My lady!

How many tens of taels were gone

with this fire?

No, I have to check it out.

Girl,

it must be a mess over there.

Will your presence there be able to save the dead or help the injured,

or can you get back what was burnt?

At least I know he's safe.

You care so much about him.

So why are you usually so indifferent to him?

You have no idea.

I'm afraid the Su family is in big trouble this time.

In two months,

the Weaving Division will be collecting tributary cloth from the royal suppliers.

Right now, it should be the

busiest season in the entire year.

Yet, the raw silk has now turned to ashes.

The Su Family has a deep heritage.

There will be room for them to negotiate with the officials.

Don't worry.

My knife...

I am going to wipe my knife.

Where is your Young Master?

He came here last night.

Have you seen him?

Young Master rushed in to save people.

We've been looking for him for a long time.

Don't worry.

He has what it takes to protect himself.

Be careful.

Su Mingyu is missing,

and you don't even have a single reaction?

Look.

Come help! Hurry!

Young Master, you're finally out.

You scared all of us.

Do you have water?

Young Master, as long as you are safe.

I will never forget

your kindness.

Thank you for saving my life.

You are willing to risk your life for us despicable people.

From now on, our lives are all yours.

All yours!

You gave me this life.

In the future, we'll do

whatever you say.

Yes.

All right, get up.

Your life is more important.

Get up.

Look at him. Didn't I tell you he will be fine?

Get up.

Mr. Su.

Ms. Shu.

Ms. Shu. Mr. Yun.

I'm glad you're fine.

My technique is to win with dexterity.

How can a mere fire trap me?

Wipe your face and go report your safety.

Thank you.

Someone cried all night,

worrying that something bad might happen to you.

Menglan?

Mr. Su,

I think it's better if you go to the Su’s now.

Why?

Judging from the traces of the fire,

it doesn't seem like a natural disaster.

You mean someone did it on purpose?

This is an important matter.

We must let Chairman Su know first.

Right now, it is the most critical time for the Su family.

What brings you here?

I wanted to see you.

I didn't want you to worry about me.

Nothing in this world

is more important than you.

Do you want me to repeat

what I had previously told you?

Do you know that the word "love"

♫Waiting for a journey♫

is at times firm as a rock,

♫Where the moon is hidden in a dream♫

but most other times, it's just like floating clouds?

♫To look back at you among in the sea of people♫

You don't have to take it to heart.

♫Just like how we first met♫

I'm afraid you've forgotten

what I told you previously.

On my way here just now,

♫When I look at you♫

♫I wonder how can the word "love" be taken lightly♫

I was thinking about

♫Who was the one who fell deep within♫

how it will all be worth it,

♫Only to be disappointed again♫

if the risk I took last night

♫There once was ignorance as we smiled gently♫

could get a bit of your concern in return.

♫Your beauty melted the cold winter♫

Now, it seems like I had expected too much.

♫I wish to hold your hand and give my all♫

♫And to have each other♫

Mr. Su,

the Su family needs you the most now,

♫As the seasons past, your frangrance makes my heart flutter ♫

♫A life in the martial world that is always in turmoil♫

instead of this place of entertainment.

I'm going back.

♫Good times with you seem like a dream, accompanied by the wind♫

I just wanted to see you again.

♫One journey, one glance, one thought about missing you♫

When you bought Liansheng House at the auction for Su Mingyu,

you knew this was going to happen.

To be honest,

I had already known when we first met in Yangzhou.

You have no grudge against the Su family.

Indeed.

It wasn’t raw silk that was destroyed,

but it was half of the Su family's lifeline.

The Su family has been prosperous for 100 years.

All good things must come to an end. It's the cycle of life.

Is this the righteousness of Yuntai?

A benevolent person may not look like one, and the greatest benevolence takes no sides.

Don't you dare talk about benevolence.

I've had enough of your dirty tricks.

You said you wanted revenge

and wanted to dissolve the Cao Sect within a month.

Now, only the Su family is falling apart.

Did you even put in any effort to deal with Qi Tianfeng?

If I can't even fool you,

how can I deal with Qi Tianfeng?

You must explain yourself clearly today.

Didn't we agree on the terms right at the start?

You will only execute and not ask questions.

You forgot about it so soon?

[The map of Yufeng Warehouse]

Set it on fire.

Are you crazy?

The Su family has never been our enemy.

What kind of conspiracy is this?

Look at the endless night.

Many homes may be lit up,

but we do not know how many families are happy and how many are sad.

Just like how you do not know me well,

my plan may not be a conspiracy.

Stop talking all these nonsense.

If you don't make it clear,

I won't go.

What did we promise before?

But this time, you went too far.

Fine, let me ask you.

Do you want revenge?

Do you want to kill Qi Tianfeng?

If so, trust me.

Stop asking anymore.

I regret it.

You have such a temper.

I will be honest with you.

Not only did I not target the Su family,

but later,

I will be the only hope of the Su family.

Don't just talk about the Su family,

tell me how you plan to deal with Qi Tianfeng,

The marketplace is like a vast ocean.

Just a waft of the smell of blood

will attract a group of sharks to attack.

I've thrown the Su family down as the bait oozing with blood,

and the unknowing, evil shark that is about to swim here

is Qi Tianfeng.

When that happens, this dagger will stab through his head

instead of pointing at me.

Can you be more gentle next time?

I don't know how you are so willing.

Since it's a group of sharks,

Qi Tianfeng may not be the one who takes the bait.

Oh, I will consider you smart.

That’s why I tied myself up with the Su family.

On one hand, I’m a thorn in the flesh.

On the other hand, the Su family presents itself as an attractive piece of meat.

Qi Tianfeng will be more aggressive than anyone else

as he gets to kill two birds with one stone.

You're talking your head off.

You should be careful as you might get eaten up too.

Will you save me?

I know.

Let's go.

Someone is still waiting for us outside.

Get in.

I'm leaving.

Be good. Don't follow me.

Just go. You are so naggy.

Go have a bite and shop around.

Buy whatever you want

as a form of my apology.

What did you do wrong?

I made a beauty angry. That is an unforgivable sin.

The background of the swordsman surnamed Jin is clean.

Where is this girl from?

Mr. Mo, since you've checked,

you must know more than me.

She should be the orphan of Shu family's armed escort agency.

Wen Cong took her in as his adopted daughter.

She has been hidden away all these years like a treasure.

No one has actually seen her before.

Ten Taels of Gold is the most famous

swordsman in Yangzhou.

Su Mingyu is famous for being a playboy.

Shu Yanan is the exception.

There is no way to verify her identity as an orphan of the Shu family.

Why? You also suspect her?

I'm a little worried,

but I haven't see any flaws.

Why don't you keep an eye on her for me?

Help you?

I think she should have sliced you by your neck.

What are you doing?

You told me not to meet you before I clear the accounts.

Now, you are inviting me personally.

If I'm not mistaken,

our Master is here.

Sister,

are you feeling better?

I was about to ask you.

Are you hurt?

Sister, I'm fine.

I've used all the martial arts I have been learning all these years.

By the way,

Xiang said

someone set this fire on purpose.

If so,

who would want to make things difficult for us?

I was just telling our lady that

when we were previously clearing the corpses of the thieves

who were involved in the highway robbery,

Mr. Yun said they appeared to be members of the Cao Sect.

If

the Cao Sect really wants to be our enemy,

it makes sense for them to set fire and burn the raw silk.

Don’t jump to conclusions.

I just don't know how trustworthy Mr. Xiang is.

I'm not sure either.

I don’t even know whether he’s a friend or foe.

But why would the Cao Sect make things difficult for us, the Su family?

Anyone who is ambitious will be competitive.

It is not unusual

to kill or be killed when doing business.

But there is also a rumor spreading around

saying that it was Tang Xiao who set the fire.

He said he wanted to see me?

Master Qi is waiting for you in the living room.

Just let him wait.

[Tangs' Gambling House]

Greetings to the both of you.

My apologies.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Here, have some tea.

Manager Qi,

we've been waiting for half an hour.

Exactly what is keeping Mr. Tang up?

Well...

We also dare not ask too many questions.

I will trouble the both of you to wait a while more.

Goodbye.

I think they are making us wait on purpose.

Ding Yi,

what do you think of this piece of land?

It's good.

I am just afraid that you try your best,

only to reap 20 to 30% in yield.

It's not worth it.

Water flows where land is low.

It doesn't matter if it's just 20 to 30%,

but it must be near water.

But this time, we lost all our raw silk.

Do you have a backup plan?

I’ve sent people to Yangzhou to purchase.

They should be back in two days.

When they are back, we will rush to work on it,

and maybe we can still catch up with the deadline.

Uncle Qian,

please stay behind and take good care of Sister.

I will escort this delivery myself.

Don't rush.

We'll make a decision after further discussions.

Young Master,

I don't think you should go

and escort the raw silk this time.

Why not?

If someone wants to harm the Su family,

they will definitely not let you go.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

So, both my lady and I don't want you to go.

But my sister cannot leave your side now.

Besides, I've been practicing martial arts for years.

I'm sure I can handle the escort this time.

Also, it's time for me to contribute to this family.

Young Master,

if you care about the Su Mansion,

you should listen to your sister.

She will not hurt you.

Besides,

your sister has promised to redeem Ms. Ke.

What other concerns do you have?

Uncle Qian,

if my sister is not the Chairman,

or the head of the Su family,

would you guys have been officially together

for a long time by now?

My sister's suggestion

seems to resolve the obstacles between me and Menglan.

But if one day I become the Chairman,

and I become the head of the Su family,

I’m afraid I will be left with very little choice.

Uncle Qian,

I don’t want to end up like you guys.

Mr. Qi! Mr. Qi!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Things are just as you wished.

What did I say? The older one is still the wiser one.

This big fire at Yufeng Warehouse

can only be described with one word,

and that is, "wonderful!"

This big fire

was not set off by us, right?

Well if not, was it me?

Well, I'm afraid everyone in Nandu knows that

Mr. Su had no foresight and

took a slice of your pie.

Are you here today

just to frame me?

It's okay.

Let's get down to business.

You bought such a big piece of land.

Mr. Qi, you deserve a great deal of credit.

I thought about it all night.

I think this plot of land across the street has a good location.

I'll give it to you.

You can sit back and enjoy the benefits,

but it should be convenient for us.

Well, I came up with the money and the idea.

You are just a follower. What kind of convenience are you asking for?

Fifty-fifty. That will be fair.

Now that you have said so,

I might as well say a few words more.

Qi Tianfeng,

do you know how much trouble you've caused me?

I asked you to kill Wen Cong but you didn't.

You insisted on keeping him.

Well, that's great because now,

the people from Yuntai have found their way here.

Mr. Xiang and the Su family

are working together as one against me.

Do you know why I don't want to see you?

I am so annoyed when I see you now.

How dare you even talk to me about your covenience?

Qi Tianfeng, Qi Tianfeng,

you sure have your ways to even drive the heaven crazy.

If you just have a little conscience left,

you can touch it and ask yourself.

Is there anyone else in Nandu

who dares to work with you?

Who doesn't know that you Qi Tianfeng

is just a traitor who betrays others?

- What are you doing?
- Your Master?

The Cao Sect and the Tang family

have always been allies.

Why don't we each take a step back?

We just want 20% of the land that is near the water.

What do you think?

Drop the idea of wanting any piece of land.

Mr. Tang, I see you are ready to take things to the extreme?

Since we are allies,

why should I make things difficult for everybody?

I have a brilliant plan.

Let me tell you about it.

Right now, the various industries in Nandu

are all industry leaders across Jiangnan.

But just one thing is missing.

A brothel.

I want to turn this body of water

into a tender place of sumptuous entertainment,

and create an unforgettable wonderland

for all men in the world.

So I ask, how can we make money without water?

Mr. Tang,

the Chamber of Commerce doesn't allow us to do such business.

That's why I said your boss set the fire well.

Now, Ms. Su

must be hard pressed from the destruction of the fire.

Half of her body is already in the coffin.

If I don't take advantage of her now,

she will have to marry me in order to thank me.

Mr. Tang has a grand vision.

We should be supporting you.

How about this?

If you can convert the land that should be given to us into cash,

I will consider us even.

What do you think?

You want cash and not the land?

That's right.

Your Master!

Deal.

Deal.

Mr. Tang, you have many highly capable aides.

It shouldn't be a problem

to take out the two people surrounding Mr. Xiang, right?

We are indeed allies

as we are all thinking about the same thing.

I will consider those two damned people

as free gifts from buying the land.

Let me ask you, what is Yuntai?

All wisdom and karma are caused by Yuntai.

The people of Yuntai abandoned the mortal heart

to embrace the Yuntai heart.

Because the mortal heart will decay,

while Yuntai has a heart for the people, the society,

and the world.

What is a mortal heart?

Although people are the foundation of wisdom,

but they are often trapped in worldly affairs.

And the most passionate things in this world

are love and hate.

Love dazzles,

while hate messes with the heart.

As emotions intertwine,

it is unavoidable to close off one's ears and eyes.

Without wisdom,

there will be no world in one's heart.

You know clearly what's in your mind, but you still knowingly broke the rules.

I didn't.

No?

I ordered you to have jurisdiction over Yuezhou,

but you entered Nandu without permission instead.

Yun Xiang,

we have our plans within the sect to deal with Wen Cong.

It’s none of your business.

You saved my life.

I can’t be ungrateful.

If you have yet to break away from your mortal heart, you cannot enter Yuntai.

Since you still have a mortal heart,

you shall return to the mountains and restart your cultivation.

Once the mortal heart is broken,

one will never understand the desires of the people,

nor understand love and hate.

Who are we then, to talk about benefiting the people and the society?

I thought people who enter Yuntai should have a mortal heart,

but not be trapped by the mortal heart.

What a sophistry.

Actually, I came to Nandu

not just for revenge,

but to settle unfinished matters for you.

Wen Cong is more than a genius.

How can you accomplish what he couldn't?

To be honest,

I have a 50% chance of winning.

50%? Then that's a bet.

Yuntai's technique is one that is full of surprises and risks.

My plan is already in motion.

If we stop now,

I'm afraid our sect will reap no benefits and instead, it will bring about much harm.

Besides, I have no roots

nor have anything that I am concerned about.

Even if I lose,

I won't drag the sect down.

You want them to fight against each other and then take advantage of it?

Yes,

or not?

It seems like you have mastered it.

You even posed me a question as your Master.

I dare not.

Forget it.

It's up to you this time.

Let's see how you can control the business of Nandu

with your bare hands.

But don't be blinded by a single leaf

and forget your mission.

Remember,

what Qi Tianfeng did is not worth mentioning.

The real obstacle is the Nandu Chamber of Commerce.

It's the Su family.

Yes.

I will live up to my mission and not let you down.

Is he a direct disciple?

How dare you talk back to the Master?

You heard it?

Master only said that he didn't want to see me.

I thought there's no harm listening in.

I thought I could kick you out of Nandu,

but now I can't.

The cash cow

has grown right in front of Guanghui Bank.

Are you willing to pull it out?

I shouldn't have allowed you to borrow money with heavy interest back then.

Without that 3,000 taels,

I'll see how you can get close to Su Mingyu.

Anyway,

the Su family's fire is indeed strange.

Does this mean you have a new idea?

I've been working with Tang Xiao and Qi Tianfeng for years.

But this is the first time

I have seen such an underhanded approach.

It's all because of you.

You've made a mess in Nandu the minute you entered.

These two chaps are now impatient.

I'm flattered.

Uncle, let's talk somewhere else.

Don't disturb the Master.

Your Master,

by changing the land into cash,

we will lose everything.

Besides, Tang Xiao now thinks we have a shallow vision,

and will definitely be more savage in the future.

Your Master, do you have other plans?

We indeed have to change.

Instead of the small profits from those plots of land,

what I want is actually

all of Su family's assets.

Look.

Why did Yun Xiang seek out the Su family?

Because that family is rich.

But the fire has left

the Su family barely alive.

If we take down the Su family,

we'll also take down Yun Xiang's pillar of support.

We are killing two birds with one stone.

But the Su Family only lost some raw silk.

There are plenty of silk shops in Yangzhou.

They can just transport them again.

That's why

the lifeline of the Su family

is now firmly in our hands.

Are you saying that to ship the silk from Yangzhou to Nandu,

they have to go through our Cao Sect?

Of course.

If raw silk can’t enter Nandu,

the Su Family can’t deliver on the tributary cloth.

Also,

all the silk merchants in the Nandu

will be in utter chaos.

Your Master, in this way,

we’ll become complete enemies with the Su family.

A thick skin is meant for others to see.

You have to tear it when you need to.

That spy just now

just happened to be the Master's bodyguard.

If it was a spy that you and I brought with us

and exposed our Master's identity,

both of us will be executed.

Don't worry.

Our Master has been in charge of Yuntai for over 20 years.

No one has seen his actual face.

Not even you?

I've been cultivating for 15 odd years,

and I have only heard his voice.

Let's get down to business.

Based on what Master said just now,

besides dealing with Qi Tianfeng,

he also wants to destroy the Su family.

That’s right.

What's your plan?

Since it's the Master's order,

I'll follow it.

Unlike you,

who doesn't follow the ways of Yuntai

and only think about your own happiness.

Watch your mouth.

What did I say wrong?

What do you people who cultivate deep in the mountains know?

Seven years ago when Sinan Mansion encountered a locust attack

and had no harvest,

who was it who sent seeds for the next spring?

Four years ago, there was a drought at the De'an Mansion,

and the disaster relief grains were embezzled by dirty officials.

Yet, not a single one of them in the mansion starved to death.

Were the grains given by the Lord of the Land?

Two years ago when the dike breached at Anqing Mansion,

a hundred or so pirate speedboats came to save the people.

Did the money to hire the speedboats fall from heaven?

Mr. Mo,

I didn't expect you to have a way with the pirates.

I did all of these.

What did that Wen Cong do?

If I don't earn enough money for myself,

how can I save those victims?

I had a momentary lapse in my speech.

Please forgive me.

Actually, I've been thinking about

something you previously said to me.

The business in Nandu

should be controlled by the merchants of Nandu.

Don't beat around the bush.

Our Master has his orders.

I have my difficulties too.

If I don’t get the Su family get through this crisis,

there will not be money for me to seize.

You just said you'd obey the Master's order.

I believe you must have let out the secret

in order for Master to personally come to Nandu to find me.

If I don't know what you really think,

how would I dare to be honest with you?

That makes sense.

In that case,

let's wipe out the Cao Sect first then support the Su family,

and return the business of Nandu to the Nandu merchants.

What do you think?

If you're my fellow apprentice, just tell me your name.

If you are an outsider, I'll spare you your life.

Red Dragon?

I even thought

our Master was holding a grudge against me,

and sent you to investigate me.

In ancient times, when Wu and Yue were in the same boat,

it was only when they encountered strong winds that they helped each other.

You and I aren't as bad as we thought, just like the Wu and Yue people.

Why don't we work together

and get what we each want?

Well, tell me how you intend for us to work together?

Uncle Mo.

Uncle.

You...

You fought that spy?

I'm fine. I've used the antidote.

He was hit by me over here too.

That will be enough for him to bear.

Did you see his face?

No.

The person has a light stature

but he's extremely powerful.

It's rare.

I've been in Nandu for more than 20 years

and I've never encountered such trouble.

You must have attracted him here.

Let's go home.

Mr. Mo!

Don't follow me.

Jin! Jin!

Jin, wake up!

Jin! Jin!

- Tianhu?
- Mr. Jin!

What's wrong?

Let's go, Jin.

Sister is in danger.

Tang Xiao is here.

Liansheng House has just changed hands.

We are not open today.

Please come another day.

Sure.

Are you going to follow me on your own

or are you going to let Meizhu help you?

Menglan is the head dealer at Liansheng House.

If I want to go to the Tang's Gambling House,

I will need to discuss with my owner.

Your owners have no time for you.

Liansheng House has not even been open for a few days.

What kind of achievement can you get

by staying here as the head dealer?

Come over to my place.

I recently opened a brothel.

Get used to it for a few days,

and be immediately promoted to the top.
