Among the first Emperors of each dynasty

Emperor Zhao Kuang Yin was the most magnanimous

On his mother's bid,he gave his throne to his Brother

Zhao Guang Yi and then toGuang Yi's son, De Wang

Kuang Yin passed his throne to his brother Guang Yi

It had been rumoured that he was

killed by his brother in the palace

This had remained a mystery ever since

But when Guang Yi became Emperor

he forced Kuang Yin's son, De Zhao

to kill himself

De Zhao's son Zhao Jue was crowned Prince of Xiang Yang

He was eager for revenge and planned for a revolt

In his own residence he built... the House of Traps

"Fu An Inn"

Brother...are you alright?

Brother, never mind me, chase him

Too late

"Federation of the Righteous"

Who is it?

A robber

Just by the flying dart and the light technique

one can tell that the well-renowned Brother Hua is here

Brother Deng

This is Hua Chong, the Butterfly

Everyone must have heard about him

Master Hua...

Brother Hua, since you know I'm here

why did you still shoot the flying dart?

Aren't you concerned about hurting your friend?

Precisely because I know you are here

these four darts wouldn't hit people

You think I'd miss?

Alright, let's sit down and talk

Brother Hua, this packet is...

It's a gift to you

I already know what it is

The Jade Horse lost in the palace

There's a warrant from Kaifeng county

for the robber's arrest

It was just a joke that day at the banquet

not knowing that you'd take it so seriously

This is nothing

I just don't understand why

you are here instead of the Deng Residence

This Horse has stirred a sensation all over the country

You sure have the guts to steal it

but I don't have the guts to keep it in Deng Residence

Do you see what this place is?

Federation of the Righteous

This belongs to the Prince of Xiang Yang

He's the brother of the Emperor

If the Jade Horse is hid at the prince's residence

even Bao Zheng wouldn't dare to come

and search the place

Since the birthday of His Majesty is drawing near

I'll decide for you

and send this to the Prince as a birthday gift

Brother, that's very considerate of you!

His Majesty arrives

Your Majesty

No need to stand on ceremony

I suppose this is the renowned Butterfly

Yes, he is my sworn brother Hua Chong

Greetings to Your Majesty

Fine...

This is not the prince's residence

You are my VIPs

Please have a seat and chat

Thank you, Your Majesty

Brother, this is Shen Zhong Yuan

A great kung fu hero and also His Majesty's think-tank

Nice to meet you

I've heard a lot about you

My sincere respects

You're too kind

Please

Please have a seat

Deng Che, chief of the Deng Fortress

to preside over the Federation of the Righteous

I've heard from Hero Deng

that he's a sworn brother of Hero Hua

Yes, Brother Deng's business is mine too

I'll do whatever it takes

Good

I'm willing to work for Your Majesty; even risk my life

It'd be best if Hero Hua could join us

There're heroes all over who have pledged loyalty to me

Once the food and weapons are ready

we can start the revolt

The pledge of our allies would be in the House of Traps

Hero Shen will bring

Hero Hua to sign the pledge later

Yes

Your Majesty, the Jade Horse Brother Hua stole

is an Imperial treasure

It may be a good sign that Your Majesty will be crowned

For security, may we lock it up in the House of Traps &

bring it out for viewing on Your Majesty's birthday?

Alright

"House of Traps"

Master Shen

This is Hua Chong, the Butterfly

Your fame precedes you

I am Lan Xiao

Also recommended by Master Deng to work for the Prince

It's the Iron Man brother Lan

By the order of His Majesty, I am here to collect

the Jade Horse to be stored at the House of Traps

Master Hua is now the VIP of the Prince's Residence

He can come and go at any time

you needn't worry, Brother Lan

Yes, Master Shen

Please

Brother Hua, please place the Jade Horse in it

There's also a copy of the pledge

please sign it

"Fu An Inn"

Brother, don't bother me

Do whatever you have to do

Then wait for me at the inn

I hear Hua Chong has joined the Prince of Xiang Yang

I'll go to the Prince's Residence tonight and investigate

Regardless of my investigation

I'll bring you back to Kaifeng early tomorrow morning

Someone went in, hurry and trigger the traps

Who are you?

So it's Lord Bao's secret emissary

Brother Wang, your brother died at the House of Traps

The Jade Horse which the Butterfly has stolen

is stored at the House

There's something more important

The list of all those participating in the revolt

is also stored in the House

I know you are wounded badly

But no matter what, you have to go back to Kaifeng

and tell Lord Bao about the news

Yes

I've been fatally struck by the Butterfly's dart

and have come here to report the news before I die

I'll serve you again in my next life

These two brothers are men of great loyalty

But there's one thing which I don't understand

Prince of Xiang Yang's rebellious acts are obvious

Your Honour's great name is well-known

among Kaifeng

You'd rather handle this case yourself instead of

delegating it to an inexperienced person like me

It's precisely because everyone knows me

If I go to Xiang Yang,

the Prince will take special precautions

But for a person like you

smart and capable, but of low profile

the Prince will be lax in guarding against

It'd be much easier to find out his rebellious acts

That's why I've recommended you to the Emperor to be

the Inspector-General of the 9 provinces of Jing Shiang

I'll send over someone to help you discreetly all along

When you see this plaque,

you'll know that he's the secret emissary sent by me

"Prince Xiang Yang's residence"

News from the capital

Lord Bao recommended Inspector Yan to come here

He has come for me

Bao Zheng doesn't dare to come

but has asked a book-worm to spearhead the attack

Once he arrives at Xiang Yang

I'll kill him; Let's see who dares to come again

Of course it's very easy for you to kill Yan Chun Min

But Kaifeng has lost Wang Dong and Wang Liang here

and it's all because of the Jade Horse

I'm afraid it's not easy now to cover up your stay here

If anything goes wrong

it may get His Majesty into trouble

Your concern is indeed warranted

Nonetheless your idea of giving a warning

isn't a bad idea

It'd keep people from coming to Xiang Yang to inspect

But it's not appropriate for you to do it

Besides, it would be an overkill to involve you

Alright, let's do it this way

The three-hand general Cao De Yu, Fang Diao

will launch the first wave

Yes

Miao Tien Luk and Chai Wan

shall launch the second wave and kill him on the way

Yes

"Yun Lai Inn"

Please...

Sir, please

Please...

Sir, what do you think?

Wait, what's the charge per night?

A tael and a half, you can't come by a better deal

Little housekeeper, what do you say?

One tael

Alright, one tael

You must be hungry

We have everything

I'll pick some fresh food for you

So that you could charge us in whatever way you want?

Anyway, forget about the fresh food

Just get a pot of rice and two dishes

Alright

You dare to bully people

What are you doing?

It's not right to bully

Sir, please adjudicate

I came here for food and accommodation

He said the inn is full; Well, that's alright

But he was abusive and even pushed me

how could something like this be condoned?

Sir, if you don't mind

come and stay with me in my room

You are quite a gentleman

Please

It's Brother Bai, have you eaten?

Good question; I'm hungry indeed

Waiter

Coming

Anything to eat?

Just add a bit more for the pot of rice just ordered

Order what you'd like to eat

Anything good?

The best rice is 8 taels, medium grade is...

No one wants anything mediocre, just get the best

What's the choice of wine?

A great choice, but no single-order sale

Bring the whole pot then

Okay

Oh, fish and chicken

Some more, oh my god

What do you think?

How much would it all cost?

Such a big pot of wine, how are we going to finish it?

What a nuisance

Brother Yan, I'm not used to sleeping with others

Sorry that you need to make a compromise tonight

Who knows if it's just a dream, only I can make sense

Sleeping in peace here, my great ability awaits assent

It's already dawn

Sir, you are early

Give me the bill, I have to set off

Alright

Sir, it comes to a total of thirteen taels forty-eight

Not much; I'll give an additional three taels as tips

Thank you

Brother Yan, I'd rather not have any formality among us

If we are destined to meet, we'll meet again

Oh God, someone's killed

Over there

"Bandit Cao De Yu"

"Bandit Fang Diao"

If I encounter this Bai chap again, I won't be too kind

You don't understand

What Master Bai did seems unreasonable

That's why it can't be overlooked

Two robbers were killed last night at the inn

but no one knew about it, that's very unusual;

Guess it must have something to do with Master Bai

I long to get acquainted with such extraordinary people

Extraordinary?

His skills lie in cheating for food and lodging

Brother Yan, what a coincidence we meet again

If we are destined to meet, we'll meet again

The little housekeeper is right

Your master and I are destined to meet

Master Bai, are you supposed to go that way?

Please

Sir, have a seat inside

I don't want to go that way now

Since we've met

and there's a restaurant here

why don't we go in for a drink?

Great... please

Brother Yan, please

Welcome Sir...

Upstairs please

Upstairs please

Be careful

Waiter, what's the best food?

Wait, who wants average food

Bring me the best

Alright

Who wants single-order wine?

Bring the whole pot

So long as the wine is good, you'll have your tips

Thank you

So far so good

Brother Yan, where will you be staying tonight?

I haven't decided yet

There's an inn ahead, it's quite good

Why don't you go with me there?

As you wish

"Fu An Inn"

Sir, how come you're back again?

I like your look

Sir, you are making fun of me

You know, it's because I like your look more and more

that's why I'm unwilling to leave

But I don't have the money to pay;

So I went out in the street

and found this Master Yan

Come...

This Master Yan has a lot of money

That's why I came back

Sir, you're making jokes

No, I'm not. The one who'll pay is here

I can now eat and live for free

Boss, please offer us your best room

Alright... Please

Please

Sir, is this room okay?

So far so good

Bring the best food and whole pot of wine

So long as it's good, you'll have your tips

Yes

This little housekeeper

understands me much better

I'm not used to sleeping with other people

Sorry to make you suffer

Yu Mo, get up, don't be rude

Brother Yan, this bed

we should let the little housekeeper to sleep

Brother Bai, is he the shopkeeper here?

That's correct

This is Prince of Xiang Yang's secret place

The shopkeeper here is supposed to be his guard

He is called Zheng Wa

Your identity has already been exposed

That's why the Prince has sent someone to kill you

Those two at the inn last time

were also guards at the Prince's residence

Thank you for helping me twice, I appreciate that

They are all notorious bandits

who worked as guards at the Prince's residence

I'm just not too happy with it

Bao Zheng is well aware of the Prince's great power

There're so many people at Kaifeng

Why did he have to put such an important mission on

a scholar like you?

I felt it's unfair and so I stuck my neck out

Bai Yu Tang, you've blamed Lord Bao wrongly

I've been protecting you secretly all the way

Lord Yan, guess you'd recognize this

So you are the secret emissary of Lord Bao

You must be Zhan Zhao?

I can't tell you my real name at the moment

But I'm not Zhan Zhao

Bai Yu Tang, you too have despised all the heroes

Alright, let's have a match

Stop fooling around, we've more important things to do

Wait until the Prince of Xiang Yang's revolt subsides

You'll know who I am

If you're still interested then

I'll be pleased to have a match with you

So you're Bai Yu Tang who caused trouble in the capital

because you sought to spar with Zhan Zhao

Your fame precedes you

Lord Bao has been trying to recruit you

but you keep refusing

I wonder why you would help me!

I must fight against all this injustice

and so I repeatedly played tricks on you

But if you are a sycophant

I wouldn't care less

Lord Bao has his own difficulties

We'll talk about this later

We seem to get on well

what do you say we became blood brothers?

You're a high rank official and me just an ordinary chap

I fear it'd be way out of my league

You're a great hero of the time, how can you say this?

Um, I look older than you

so maybe I'll be the big brother

If so, please

accept my greetings

Brother

" Inspector's residence"

Order in the court

"Prince Xiang Yang's residence"

Your Majesty, Yan Chun Min has arrived at the office

I didn't expect he got

the assistance of Bai Yu Tang, the Rat

The two teams we've sent

together with Zhang Wa have failed the mission

If I were to go, it wouldn't have come to this

Brother Hua, no need to be angry

Who would have thought that Bai Yu Tang

would change sides and help Bao Zheng

That's right, maybe we ought to get rid of Bai Yu Tang

Yan Chun Min is just a scholar

and we needn't fear him then

Bao Zheng should be in deep trouble

It's heard that the palace has lost the pearl crown

This incident will be the responsibility of the Kaifeng

No one knows who did that

Let's just sit back and watch

"Wanted: the thief who stole the pearl crown"

Your kung fu is marvelous

How about working for the Federation of the Righteous

What? I'm afraid I've gone to the wrong place

I thought this place traded in booty

Friend, what do you mean?

What do I mean?

I heard that this place bought booty

I've just stolen something

so I want to bring it in and get a good price for it

This is the Federation of the Righteous

so I must be in the wrong place

Friend, this belongs to the Prince of Xiang Yang

It's not the place for you to create trouble

What? I've heard that a couple of days ago

the Butterfly has stolen a jade horse from the capital

He becomes a VIP once he came here

I thought this is the place

which traded in booty

So I've also stolen something

hoping to get some profit here

not knowing that you...

I am Hua, we haven't met before

You keep saying we are thieves

so you are teasing me, right?

Well said

I am proud we have such a friend with us

to glorify us thieves

You steal treasures from the palace

and became VIP once at the Prince's residence

It's such a glorious thing to be a thief like this

You keep talking about thievery

what do you want?

Not much

I'm a thief too and just seek to share some glory

I've also stolen something

I wonder if you'll take this

Stealing is stealing, and robbing is robbing

It depends on what you've stolen

I'm afraid the stuff you've stolen

is no match for my jade horse

Maybe not;, do you recall

any big case recently

that is comparable to the stolen Jade Horse?

Could you be the one who has stolen the pearl crown

at the imperial palace?

Precisely

Let's see if this is genuine or fake

Here it is

A treasure of the court could hardly be

replicated by ordinary folks

So you come here today

just because you want a contest with me

I wouldn't dare; your chained flying dart

is well-known in the martial arts world

How would I have the guts to challenge you!

Once you fling your darts

I'll be dead

It's good that you understand

I'm sorry Master Hua, your darts are all here

This is simply petty burglary, no skill at all

What's your real skill?

Master Hua, I'm here today

It'll be too disappointing

if we don't have a match

Stop, we are all friends

Brother Hua, please forgive him

this brother of mine loves to joke

Master Shen's brother is...

The renowned Black Fox, Zhi Hua

That's right

Brother Hua, don't be suspicious

Master Zhi is well known long before

for being humorous; he's a good friend

Master Zhi, your fame precedes you

I won't mind even if you have made fun of me

But His Majesty's business is no small matter

Alright...

Brother Hua has stolen the Jade Horse

Brother Zhi has stolen the pearl crown

They are all imperial treasures

There're warrants for their arrest

and there's no turning back for them

So they only have to be loyal to His Majesty

Zhong Yuan, you know me

I'm weird at times

Sometimes I don't mind being taken advantage of

If I knew what we stole

went to this same place

You tell him that

we are doing things in

different ways

I don't mind to let him have an upper hand

and say what should I steal

before I could prove my loyalty to His Majesty

Let him name something and I'll steal it back

Brother

There's no need, we all are good friends

It ain't so

You know my character

I am tough like a rock

You must think of something

Brother, maybe

If you don't want to

I'll think of something myself

How about the seal of the special envoy

Do you think this would be adequate?

Good, I am holding a feast to celebrate your success

Hero Zhi's kung fu is very good

and resourceful; I think he wouldn't be in any danger

However, we could have the feast first

while we await his return

What are you doing?

The seal

Sire, congratulations

Brother Zhi has stolen the seal

Brother Hua, sorry

Hope I didn't dirty your clothes

Clear the table quickly

Congratulations on your success

Please come to the feast

You work very stealthily

I am anxious to know how you did it

I followed brother Hua's way

I pretended to be caught

Mr Hua, I'm teasing you, it's true

When I left

I was thinking

I had to steal Yan Chun Min's seal

How could I do it?

Stealing the seal shouldn't be difficult

the challenge is knowing where it was

Then I thought I might as well

go to his place and assassinate him

His officials naturally

were not my match

So I pretended

to be captured by them

Yan Chun Min asked me...

'What are you doing here?'

I replied...

'I came to kill you'

So I confessed, right?

Then he asked me...

'Who asked you to do it?'

I said...no rush...someone did direct me

and he is a man of position

But if I didn't tell you

you would question me for sure

and might use torture on me

I am not afraid of death, but of torture

As soon as you write a note

that says to execute me by beheading

and put your seal on it

Then I will confess

Great plan

He fell for it

no sooner was the note written and chopped by the seal

I moved swiftly

I broke the ropes

and pushed down the officials; I leapt on the table

and snatched the note and the seal

Then I jumped over the wall and ran

At that time Yan Chun Min

was trembling under his desk

Great

This is the note

The great robber Zhi Hua who set out to assassinate me

will be beheaded on sight- Yan Chun Min

Mr Zhi, you are a true hero

That's wonderful

I propose a toast to you... Here, come on

Hero Shen, after the feast please take hero Zhi

to the House of Traps

and put the seal, together with the pearl crown

and the jade horse in it

And you also sign your name to join us

Thank you

You're welcome. I only hope to unite all heroes

and win back my kingdom

His Majesty has put all these important items

in the House of Traps

If they're stolen, wouldn't that be a waste of efforts?

Don't worry, the house has many traps;

it is fool-proof

Mr Lan, could you demonstrate to us

how these traps work?

He'll be less worried that way

Alright

Behind this trap door are guards

If the intruder has great kung fu

and they fail to withstand his attack

They'll fall back

The gate will fall

But the intruders will only be trapped, not injured

Master Zhi, please go up the stairs

Please

Not bad, but the intruder

might leap right on top of the stairs

Please go up to the next floor

Not bad

But if the intruder has great jumping technique

he could get to the second floor easily

The 2nd floor has the deadly copper net trap

Brother, I heard today in the court room

Zhi Hua pretended to be caught

and robbed the seal; was that really so?

Yes, indeed

Zhi Hua has great skills and quite a hero

Why do you say this?

This Zhi Hua

is notorious for his treachery

He is known as the Black Fox

If I were here you wouldn't have fallen for his tricks

You went out just because of the duty

After a day's investigation

I confirmed that the Prince formed the Federation of

the Uprighteous to unite the mercenaries

and built the House of Traps

with traps guarding stolen treasures from the court

It is obvious Zhi Hua

has joined him and stolen your seal

to claim his credit

I am afraid so

You can't lose your seal

I plan to go to the prince's residence tonight

and see how good

are that Zhi Hua and Hua Chong

And how deadly are the traps in the House of Traps

No doubt the seal has been lost

With Lord Bao's support however, it would be alright

You shouldn't underestimate dangers

Right, but having the seal stolen is a grave matter

Besides, I want to have a go at that Zhi Hua

The House of Traps is very dangerous

Wang Tung of Kaifeng also died there

we must have a meticulous plan

Don't be rash

Brother, where are you going?

Since you wouldn't let me go, I'm off to sleep

That's the right thing to do

The traps here are really deadly;

especially the copper net trap

But if you are not here to launch it

it'd be useless

You needn't worry

Since Brother Lan turned off the main switch outside,

he'd need to launch the traps one by one

If the main switch was turned on,

the traps will go into action automatically

I see

You understand now?

Brother Lan

The pearl crown could be placed inside

and please sign to join in too

Sure

Master Deng guessed right

Why let him in on purpose?

Master Deng told me privately

that he will offer me a great credit

He said Yan Chun Min lost his seal

So Bai Yu Tang must come tonight

If we could get rid of him

Yan Chun Min wouldn't do any harm

we'll have done a great deed for his majesty

Then set the traps in motion

Right, once inside the House of Traps

Bai Yu Tang is dead

Black Fox Zhi Hua?

Though my nickname is not good

I was sent by Lord Bao

Lord Yan, you must know this

So you are his secret emissary, please

I have come to return Lord Yan's seal

Then why did you

rob it during the day?

Lord Bao asked me to sneak into the Prince's Residence

Though I stole the pearl crown

Prince of Xiang Yang might not be fully convinced

The incident of the seal should shock the whole city

and Prince of Xiang Yang would have no more suspicion

and I could accomplish my task easily

So the seal...

Before I came here

I made a fake seal

for the Prince of Xiang Yang

The fake seal is in the House of Traps

I have the real one

I also asked Lord Bao to notify the court secretly

that the seal had not been lost

All that occurred in the court room

was merely a show

You have thought of everything

Brother Bai was worried about the loss of my seal

and insisted on going to retrieve it

I stopped him

I'll send someone to get him

to meet you now

Good

Brother Bai has great skills and is upright

but he is a bit rash

He saw me robbing the seal

and must have felt bad

Please explain on my behalf when he is here

Naturally

Master, Lord Bai is not in his room

Oh dear, he must have gone to the House of Traps

I'll go back at once

Brother Lan, he must be dead

put him down

Bai Yu Tang is dead

He's dead

I was thinking

Descendants of late Emperors are vying for the throne

Heroes are being involved

and many want fame

Unlike us

who enjoy a care-free life on this island

You are right, big brother

but fifth brother might think differently

I know him well

He is young, rash and impetuous

but he is not after fame or riches

He might not agree to work for Lord Bao

That's the point, fifth brother is ambitious

and would easily blend into this environment

Once in, it's not easy to get out

Masters

Report to fourth master

Master Bai and Inspector Yan Chun Min

became blood brothers

He went to the Prince's residence to get back his seal

and died in the House of Traps

What's to be done?

I declined lord Bao despite his many invitations

but I must avenge fifth brother

You're right

Coming...

We'll do according to your instructions

Master Zhi

Mr Xu, what do these men do?

Your Majesty birthday's is near, these are tile makers

here to mend the roof; sorry for disturbing you

It's alright

Check the roofs of every part of the residence

and replace the damaged tiles with new ones

Yes...

There are many affairs I have to manage these days

I fear I might not serve you well

Ai Fu, come here

He has worked here since he was a kid

If you need anything just ask him

Serve Master Zhi well

and don't sneak away to

practise your kung fu

You practise kung fu too?

It's quite a funny story

Masters like Master Zhi, Master Shen

Master Deng and Master Hua

are all top martial artists

Even this kid practices kung fu; what a joke!

Not really

The best kung fu is accomplished by steady practice

No one is born a martial artist

When I have time I'll show you a few moves

Thank you, Mr Zhi

Mr Zhi, Mr Shen

You look quite busy

The residence must look new for his highness' birthday

Go about your work, never mind us

Yes

Look at that fellow digging

doesn't he look familiar?

Who could a workman resemble?

Your kung fu is not bad

I am a tile maker

I am used to climbing, no kung fu at all

Climbing is also a kind of kung fu

There is a Sky Rat

who is known for scaling heights

I wouldn't know about him

Are you suspicious that those two

might be the Sky Rat, Lu Fang

and Han Zhang, the Ground Rat?

Just a little doubt

Bai Yu Tang is dead, they should be here

Please have some tea

Come in...careful

Carry it into the living room

Here

What's the matter?

What are you doing here?

This is the prince's residence, don't run around

That's great

That's where we want to go

Let's go

No entry

Let us in

Stop that noise...

What are you doing here?

A palace should have a king, right?

Naturally

I hear he is going to celebrate his birthday, isn't it?

Yes

We are acrobats

and could entertain His Highness

Right

What has celebrating birthday to do with acrobats?

Celebrating birthday should be joyous

and should not show a crying face

What are you doing? Get lost

You drive us away, we'll cry

Let us stay, we'll laugh

Get lost

You made Mr Xu neither cry nor laugh

Master Zhi, Master Shen

These two are agile

Looks like they know some kung fu

Zhong Yuan, what's with you?

Last couple of days you think everyone knows kung-fu

they are just street performers

They only know magic

That's right, we only know magic

we could shift and delude perceptions in many ways

It's getting unacceptable, drive them out

Get out...

Turtle is an auspicious sign for His Majesty's birthday

why drive it out?

That's right, it's a good symbol for His Majesty

Mr Xu, you should let them stay

Yes

Ai Fu, come with me

Yes

Ai Fu, did you see that?

Yes

These two are Lu Fang and Han Zhang

of the Five Rats

Ai Fu, what do you intend to do?

Whatever Master Zhi says

Well said

You seldom talk

Maybe you'd like to tell me what's on your mind

I think Master Zhi knows that very well

Being a nobody in the Prince's residence

I don't know when I'll have a successful career

What would you consider as successful?

Make a name for yourself in the martial arts world?

That's exactly right

The martial arts world is full of dangers

I've heard that your parents were security escorts

and were killed, leaving you as an orphan

My parents were attacked

by a powerful gang and were badly wounded

But they killed over ten of them before they died

Everyone in the martial world regards them as heroes

I'd rather die a glorious death

than be a slave for the rest of my life

Good

What if I took you as my student?

Teacher, please accept my greetings

Now you have the opportunity

to do a great deed

It'd all depend on your own courage

I'll go through hell to accomplish teacher's teaching

Report the Prince's rebellion case to Inspector-General

Go at once

Brother, you are wrong

You saw that Lu Fang

and Han Zhang have bad intention

You didn't stop them but took Ai Fu as your student

and ask him to sue the Prince, what is your intention?

Yes, I don't trust him

so I wanted to test him, then you arrived

Ai Fu, you have planned to rebel against his highness

follow me to accept your punishment

Right, Zhong Yuan

It's about time for the truth

aren't you Lord Bao's secret emissary?

I couldn't hide it from you after all

You may not wish to test Ai Fu, but I do

I want to test how brave he is

He went to the Inspector-General to expose the crime

Lord Yan has yet to win the confidence of the people

He has no choice but to go by the book

He would inevitably suffer torture

and if he breaks down he'll mess up the whole thing

I believe he has the guts to do it

How did you guess

I am Lord Bao's secret emissary?

Merely a guess

I heard you didn't show Hua Chong the traps

when you brought him along to the House of Traps

When you brought me there

you asked Lan Xiao to show me how each trap worked

It was obvious you wanted to show me

how they worked

That gave me the lead

Lord Yan

Hero Zhi

Yu Mo, wait at the door

no one comes in here without permission

Yes

You must have something in mind so as to come here

You must know

Bai Yu Tang has 4 blood brothers

Lu Fang, the Sky Rat and Han Zhang, the Ground Rat

Xu Qing, the Mountain Rat, Jiang Ping, the River Rat

The five of them live on Xian Kong island

calling themselves the Five Rats of Xian Kong

People call them the Righteous Five

I heard brother Bai mention this

Lord Bao had long wanted to recruit them

but they kept declining

Now because of Bai Yu Tang's death

they have accepted the invitation from Lord Bao

to avenge Bai Yu Tang

I suspected that now they have

sneaked into residence of the Prince

Now in the residence of the Prince

There're 6 secret emissaries of Lord Bao staying there

Besides me and the Four Rats

there is also Shen Zhong Yuan

They all have the plaque of Kaifeng

I know

The men inside the Prince's residence

would be adequate to do the job

If you wish to capture the Prince,

you could do it now

In any case he is the grandson of the late emperor

He enjoys a respected position

If we don't have a legitimate reason

how could we search his place and the House of Traps

and retrieve the stolen treasures

and the list of the rebels

to prove his treason

I have made some preparations

There's a servant named Ai Fu at the Prince's residence

This kid is sharp and courageous

He's good in kung fu and

awaits a good chance

I've already taken him as my student

Day after tomorrow is the birthday of the Prince

It'll be a busy day at the Residence

I've asked him to appear in court to sue the Prince

Would this be an excuse then?

Yes, indeed

By the law of Song, if a slave wants to sue the master

he'd have to suffer flogging

I fear he can't endure torture and change his confession

that'll cause more troubles

Don't worry

This kid will be able to tolerate

You then bring Ai Fu to cross-examine with the Prince

while I'll bring my men to the House of Traps

to catch them unprepared

This way they can't deal with two things at one time

Order in the court

Bring the complainant

Yes

Kneel

What's your name?

Ai Fu, I am a servant of the Prince's residence

What is your complaint?

I want to report a revolt case

Someone at the Prince's residence wants to revolt?

It is the Prince of Xiang Yang himself

How dare you, you are only a young servant

Do you realise that this is a serious accusation?

Prince holds great respect, if you accuse him wrongly

you'd suffer the consequences

I am young but not ignorant

and I won't dare talk foolishly

Prince has really recruited rebels preparing for revolt

I love my country

and that's why I risk my life to report the case

Is that really so, what proof do you have?

The Jade Horse and the pearl crown which the court lost

are hidden in the House of Traps

The ones who stole them, Hua Chong, Zhi Hua

are hiding at the Prince's Residence too

If Your Lordship would send men to search there

you'll catch them red-handed

Do you know that a servant suing his master

will have to suffer flogging?

I am here to risk life for my country

My own life is of no importance to me

Alright, prepare for the instruments of torture

Yes

Ai Fu, do you want to change your confession?

It's true that the Prince is planning a revolt

I won't change it

Good, a great hero

Let him down

Let's move to the residence of the Prince of Xiang Yang

Yes

"Prince's Residence"

Come

Lord Yan arrives

Lord Yan, you're here to celebrate Prince's birthday

why bother to bring so many guards with you?

Yes

You're here for the Prince's birthday celebration

You bring guards and dare not kneel to the Prince

Where are your manners?

I apologize for not realising that

But I'm not here for this purpose

You're rude

Your Majesty, excuse me for being rude

I am here today because someone is suing Your Majesty

for sheltering rebels, hiding stolen goods

How dare you!

Although I'm low in rank, I've the order of the Emperor

Although Your Majesty is highly respectable

treason cannot be taken lightly

You said you have the order of the Emperor

but I don't know who you are

How can you prove yourself?

I have the seal

Where's the seal?

Your Majesty seems to know that I've lost my seal

Unfortunately, the one stolen was a fake one

Yu Mo

Yes

It seems Yan is going to arrest His Majesty, hurry...

Master Lan, by the order of Master Shen

Yan Chun Min is taking his men to arrest His Majesty

There are people fighting in the hall

Master Shen told me to ask you

to take some men to help

Yes

Master Lan, what are we going to do?

Let's turn on the traps first

How cunning of Lan Xiao!

I suppose he'd be sent away by Shen Zhong Yuan

not realising that he'd turn on the traps before going

Don't blame me if you're dead

The trap is activated

Finally there's no need to be left dangling anymore

Brother Han

You must be Brother Zhi, the Black Fox

Alright...Yan Chun Min

You said someone is suing me for treason

Who's the plaintiff?

Of course there's someone

Bring Ai Fu

Yes

So it's this Ai Fu

Who's he?

He's a servant at our residence

Servant suing the master

Yan Chun Min, do you know the laws of our regime?

Of course I do

Your Majesty, please have a look at Ai Fu's wounds

I have already flogged and cross-examined him

Take this traitor away

Yes

Your Majesty wants to silent him?

Capture Yan Chun Min too

Yes

Hurry

There's a Copper Net upstairs, it's terrible

It was said that brother Bai died there

That's correct

But just standing here won't help either

At least we have to try

That's correct

Then I have to hang in the air again

we may not be able to go upstairs

but do as I say and try

Alright

Come on

They are Master Xu, the Mountain Rat

and Master Jiang, the River Rat

That's us

It's Master Zhi

You're too kind, I am Zhi Hua

Hey, I'm still hanging in the air

Brother, don't worry, I'm coming

Go...

We're going too

Go...

Shen Zhong Yuan, you are from the Kaifeng

Are you alright?

I'm fine

Be careful, there's...

- Brother Xu -3rd brother

3rd brother

Brother

It's my fault

I think brother Bai would feel lonely over there

I could keep him company

Brother Xu

-3rd brother -Brother Xu

3rd brother

If only Big Brother could be here earlier

This is Zhi Hua, our Big Brother

Brother Lu, we've met before

Brother Zhi

The Prince of Xiang Yang

has hidden all the treasures in here

the Jade Horse, Pearl Crown are all in there

How are we going to take them out?

They are controlled by traps

Although Lan Xiao was sent away by Shen Zhong Yuan

he turned on the traps before he left

The switches don't work here

The key is with Lan Xiao

Then we can't take it

I've made some preparations

This seal is a fake one, it's useless

This is the Dragon Pearl Crown

This is the Jade Horse

What's in this box?

This...

It used to contain the list of the names

but now it has disappeared

The list is the most important thing of all

Brother Zhi, where else could it be?

You'd have to ask the Prince, I really don't know

Prince of Xiang Yang is in the hall

Although Lord Yan has brought a lot of men

Not to mention Hua Chong, Deng Che

Even with those guards, they can't resist them

Let's get back quick

2nd brother, protect His Lordship

The list is not at the House of Traps

Your Majesty, the list is not in the House of Traps

So what?

You should realise that you have lost your power

Hand over the list

His Majesty might spare your life

Everyone outside is fighting for their master

I can't blame them, but you, who I have treated so well

turned into a traitor

and is now putting pressure on me

Your Majesty, did you hear that?

Hua Chong and Deng Che are dead

You'd better hand over the list

Alright, I'll help you fulfill your career aspirations

Take it

Father, please forgive my incompetence

I can only follow your footsteps to death

Prince of Xiang Yang committed suicide, here's the list

The list is in my stomach

Cut me up and take it

Then I'll cut you up

You can get the list

but why did you let Hua Chong grab it?

Once Prince of Xiang Yang is dead, his power is gone

This list will cause the death of many

What do you want it for?

Fame and riches bring disasters to many

These people used to live comfortably in the Island

now they end up like this

I'm afraid the list can never be found
