EPISODE 19

This could have been left by the killer.

What kind of person has such a huge foot?

One, two,

three, four.

All right, stretch your leg.

Father, your feet are really huge.

That's why I'm strong.

I wish I get huge feet like yours when I grow up.

Silly girl.

No one will marry you if you have huge feet.

I don't want to get married.

I want to spend my whole life with you.

Father.

That huge footprint reminded me of you.

I'm so ashamed of myself.

You like to duel with others,

but you're not a murderer.

Am I right, Father?

Ms. San.

Is there anything I can help you with?

It's nothing.

Actually, there is something.

You have such a slim waist.

Can you teach me how to be like you?

I'm sorry, Ms. San.

I'm afraid that's not something I can teach.

I think you're fine just like this.

Why must ladies have slim waists?

Who thinks that way?

My future husband.

"Husband"?

Are you getting married?

Congratulations.

I thought

I'd never find the ideal man I love in this life.

I didn't expect I'd actually met him.

I think the man who is marrying you is truly blessed.

He is one of our workers.

He is smart, intelligent,

and good-looking too.

I think he is the best man in the world.

Also, he turned me into how I am now,

a woman full of feminine charm!

That's good.

This proves that this marriage was destined to happen.

"Destined"?

Yes, you're right.

That's right, we're destined for each other.

Are you Ms. Tie?

May I ask if Mr. Hua Wuque of Yihua Palace is staying here?

That's right.

May I know why you're looking for him?

My master asked me to send him a jar of good wine.

May I know who your master is?

My master is Tie Wushuang.

You can hand it to me.

Thank you.

Come on. Eat up. Help yourself.

-Here, let me help you. -Mr. Duan.

Should we question the stableman again?

He is probably...

The killer is highly skilled. How couldn't he have noticed him?

He even managed to escape with his life.

So, you're saying...

Either the stableman is working with the outsider,

or he is a survivor deliberately left behind by the killer.

Can't you two consider my feelings right now?

Isn't Mr. Jiang investigating the case?

Can't you two discuss our wedding?

All right.

We'll discuss your wedding.

I've already had someone check.

The third day of next month is an auspicious date.

That's the best date for the wedding.

You have no parents, so let me take care of it for you.

You two will get married next month.

-"Get married next month"? -Yes.

What's the matter?

Don't you want to get married?

If I stay in Qingyu Hall,

I might be able to investigate the armed escort case thoroughly

and figure out the truth behind Jiang Yulang's plot.

How could I possibly not want to get married?

I'm blessed that Ms. San takes such a liking to me,

but this is too sudden.

It's like a pie that suddenly came crashing down from the sky.

It knocked me out and I haven't recovered yet.

How about this? Give me time to let it sink in.

We can't rush something like this.

I understand.

Love has to be cultivated between two people.

But I'm a little anxious.

A watched pot never boils.

All right. I'll listen to you.

But I'm going to make sure I eat you up!

Duan Manor is really huge.

Anyone would get lost without a lead.

Xiaoyu'er?

How could Xiaoyu'er possibly be here?

This will be your home in the future.

You need to familiarize yourself.

"Home"?

I've never had a home.

Yu Dan.

Yu Dan!

Why are you leaving so soon?

There are many things to do at Qingyu Hall.

You'll soon become the new young master.

Do you still have to deal with things at Qingyu Hall?

It's getting dark.

Don't catch a cold.

-Put this on. -All right. I'll do it myself.

Ms. Tie, let me introduce this man to you.

This is the--

-The new young master. -That's right.

I know.

He is the best man in the world that I told you about.

What's the matter? You're even feeling shy.

He is indeed a man of talent.

Ms. San, you're truly blessed.

Ms. Tie, don't be envious of me.

You're so pretty and understanding.

You'll surely find the one that's meant for you, right?

Have you set a wedding date?

-My father asked someone-- -No.

He is not in a hurry,

but my father has decided for us.

It's going to happen soon for sure.

Congratulations.

Thank you, Ms. Tie.

DUAN MANOR

Young Master, the sedan chair is ready.

Young Master?

Jiang Xiaoyu.

I stayed by Hua Wuque's side in order to protect you.

I have been criticized for being shameless over the past few months,

but you...

This is how you treat me.

Why?

Why?

Have you lost your conscience?

Ms. Tie.

Ms. Tie.

QINGYU HALL

Sirs, the store is closed.

Boss!

Boss!

Boss!

What brings you here at such a late hour?

Of course it's to buy medicine.

Someone is sick at home. We need four kinds of ingredients.

Monkshood, Chinese cinnamon, rhino horn, and bear bile.

Do you have a prescription?

-What's the dosage for each? -There's no prescription.

We'll take all you have in your store.

We want all of them. Don't leave any of them behind!

We want all your stock for these four ingredients!

Sirs.

The ingredients that you want are either cooling or heating.

-Are you sure you're not mistaken? -Not at all.

Just do as I say.

We've brought enough money and we need to bring them back urgently.

Please be quick.

Get the ingredients for them.

Sirs, all the ingredients have been loaded onto the cart.

Thank you.

It's late. Take care.

QINGYU HALL

Boss, open up!

Someone has been poisoned. We need to buy medicine!

I need monkshood, Chinese cinnamon, rhino horn, and bear bile.

Three catty each. Hurry.

I'm sorry, lady. They are all sold out.

Qingyu Hall is such a huge medicine hall. How can you not have them?

We are a century-old medicine hall and we have everything,

but some people just came and bought all these four ingredients.

All these ingredients in town are sold out.

Even this store in the outskirts is the same.

Tell me. Who came to buy the ingredients?

Well...

I've never seen them before.

We only sell medicine, we never ask about the backgrounds of customers.

Take care, lady.

The culprits knew they would need these ingredients for the antidote.

That's why they bought all the stock of these ingredients in the market.

It's obvious that the culprits want the victim dead.

How vicious.

What was the poison used?

Doesn't even the divine potion from Yihua Palace work on it?

Otherwise, why would He Lu

be running around late at night trying to buy the ingredients?

DUAN MANOR

Sir.

-Where are the ingredients? -I didn't get to buy them.

Why would that be?

All stocks of the four ingredients in this area have been bought up.

Why would that be?

Mr. Hua, don't worry.

God blesses the good man.

Actually, I've predicted that Ms. He Lu

would return empty-handed.

These ingredients are expensive, but they are not rare ingredients.

Why would all of them be sold out?

The culprit predicted

that only these cooling and heating ingredients

could counteract his poison.

He knew that you would know this.

If he didn't buy all these ingredients,

his efforts would have been in vain.

You're right.

The culprit knew the Yihua Palace divine potion

couldn't counteract this type of poison.

But...

what grudge does this person have

to want her dead?

I'm afraid she is not the target,

but you.

Who is the one lying on the bed?

Since it isn't Hua Wuque that has been poisoned,

why is He Lu so worried?

Who's there?

He Lu, look after Ms. Tie.

Stop right there!

-Who are you? -Let's talk tomorrow!

Farewell!

My friend.

I am Jiang Biehe.

I can assure you with my reputation as the Hero of Jiangnan

that if you show yourself

and explain the reason why you're here,

I will guarantee

that you will not be harmed.

If you insist on not heeding my advice,

I'm afraid it will be too late for you to regret it.

Mr. Jiang, what happened?

A thief sneaked into Duan Manor.

Do not panic and stay calm.

Light all the lamps.

He surely can't escape now.

-Hurry up! -Yes.

I'm doomed.

I can't escape.

Yu Dan?

Why are you here?

Are you the thief they are talking about?

-That's right. -What?

No!

So are you the thief or not?

I can't explain it right now.

Forget it then. I'm opening the door.

Hey!

You...

Actually, I came to see you.

You really are a thief.

You stole my heart.

My friend.

Show yourself.

Mr. Jiang, I'm Duan San.

So it's you, Ms. San.

There's a thief in the manor.

I worry for your safety.

Can you let me in to catch the thief

and protect you?

I...

There's really no one in my room!

I'm naked.

I'm not married yet.

If you come into my room late at night

and this gets out,

it might badly damage your reputation.

I'm sorry to have disturbed you.

I have a favor to ask of you,

but can you promise me first?

I'll do anything that you ask of me.

Good.

Help me find a way to escape and don't let anyone find out.

Are you leaving now?

Help! There's a thief!

Ms. Duan, are you all right?

I saw a shadow just now.

He went in the direction of Ms. Tie's room.

You scared me.

You're my husband. How could I possibly harm you?

I need to distract them before I let you out of here.

You're my good girl.

You almost suffocated me.

-Sir. -Did anyone come here?

No.

-I'll check around. -All right.

How is Ms. Tie?

She doesn't seem good.

Her body is getting colder.

She's losing consciousness too.

I'm afraid the poison has reached her heart.

Why wasn't I the one that drank the poisoned wine?

Ms. Tie.

Ms. Tie.

Ms. Tie.

It's Hua Wuque.

Can you hear me?

Ms. Tie.

He Lu has gone to look for medicine again.

She'll be back soon.

Hang in there.

All the ingredients in this area has been sold out.

It's hundreds of miles away to and from Zhenjiang.

I'm afraid

that Ms. Tie will not make it.

Ms. Tie!

Sir.

Sir, what are you doing?

I'm transferring Yihua essential qi to her.

You can't do that.

Although this can preserve Ms. Tie's life,

three years of your cultivation will be depleted.

Saving a life is more important.

QINGYU HALL

QINGYU HALL

Sirs, all the ingredients have been loaded onto the cart.

Thank you.

It's late. Take care.

Safe journey!

DILING HALL

"Diling Hall"?

Another cart of medicine is sent here.

Hurry up and bring them inside.

Here.

Let's have a toast.

-Here. -Cheers.

-Please. -Please.

This is all thanks to Mr. Zhao.

If it wasn't for Mr. Zhao's invitation,

a nobody like us

wouldn't be able to drink with Mr. Tie.

If people knew

that Luo San and Luo Jiu had a drink with Mr. Tie,

they would be so envious of us.

You're flattering me.

Here's a toast for you.

-A toast. -A toast.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Thank you, Mr. Tie and Mr. Zhao.

So all the ingredients were brought to Diling Hall.

I heard that both of you are in the martial arts world,

relying on the martial arts style that you created yourself.

Would you mind showing it to me?

I must decline.

We dare not make a fool of ourselves before a great master.

That's right.

Mr. Tie treasures talent.

Don't ruin Mr. Tie's good mood.

Mr. Tie.

-We will fulfill your request. -We will fulfill your request.

Please bear with us.

These two brothers should be skilled martial artists.

They purposely display poor skills to mask their martial arts.

Even someone so experienced like Tie Wushuang might be fooled by them.

Such crafty and shrewd men.

Master!

Master!

Master, another batch of ingredients are here.

Master.

They are still monkshood, Chinese cinnamon, rhino horn, and bear bile.

Where did they come from?

We don't know.

We don't know who has been sending carts of these ingredients

to Diling Hall since last night for no reason.

Is someone trying to set Master up?

How is that possible?

They said these ingredients are quite expensive.

They are not poisonous, but are beneficial instead.

How is this a trap?

All right. Stop the nonsense.

Hurry up and carry them to the back.

-Yes. -Yes.

"How is this a trap?"

It's exactly a trap.

Such a vicious and crafty plot.

Someone bought up all the ingredients and sent them to Diling Hall,

so that Hua Wuque would think Diling Hall wanted to poison him.

What a sinister move.

But Diling Hall is just a trading company.

Even if they frame them,

it has nothing to do with Yihua Palace.

Could it be because Duan Hefei is also a merchant

and they have a grudge against each other?

That would make sense.

That's right.

Hua Wuque is staying at Duan Manor.

DILING HALL

Hello, sir.

Remember.

When you work here,

you have to be diligent and honest.

Work more, talk less.

Understood.

By the way, there's a taboo here.

There's a person's name that you can never mention.

Duan Hefei?

That's right.

Sooner or later,

our master is going to roast him and turn him into a braised pork.

Does our master have such deep enmity towards Duan Hefei?

That's right.

He was originally an outsider, but he keeps going up against our master.

Wherever our master started a new business,

he'd open up a store opposite us.

He will make friends with our master's big clients

by all means.

How shameless of him.

No wonder he earns so much money.

One must be ethical in doing business.

Duan Hefei resorts to such despicable means.

-He is indeed a scumbag. -That's right.

All right, you know the story now.

Don't ever mention that person's name.

Understood.

There's some beautiful scenery near Diling Hall.

Tomorrow, Luo San, Luo Jiu, and I

will take you for a tour.

Since the plan is to frame the other company,

the culprit behind this plot surely knows where the ingredients are now.

I suppose he is going to come here and question them.

Master, the Hero of Jiangnan, Jiang Biehe, asks to see you.

Jiang Biehe?

VISITING CARD

Why is he here?

Mr. Zhao.

You grace me with your presence, but I didn't come out to welcome you.

Please forgive me.

I came at an inopportune time.

Please forgive us.

Not at all.

Serve the tea.

Please come in.

Mr. Jiang, how are you?

Mr. Tie, we meet again.

This is Mr. Hua Wuque of Yihua Palace.

Greetings, Mr. Tie.

Mr. Hua indeed looks distinguished.

I have heard that you are here in Jiangnan

and intended to meet with you.

This is great.

All of us are gathered here today.

We're truly honored by your presence.

Well...

They are here indeed.

Gather all four ingredients. Prepare the medicine for Ms. Tie.

Yes.

Tie Xinlan was the one who was poisoned?

Mr. Zhao, why would those ingredients be here?

I don't know who sent these ingredients here.

Mr. Zhao.

Do you really not know who sent those ingredients?

Well...

What's going on?

It's not that complicated.

Someone poisoned Mr. Hua's friend.

All the ingredients that make the antidote in the market

were bought up.

In your opinion,

would the person

who bought up the ingredients also be the culprit?

That's right.

But I'm confused.

Someone kept sending all these ingredients over last night.

Who sent them?

-I don't know either. -You don't know?

These ingredients are very expensive.

Why would someone send them here for no reason?

I really didn't buy any of them.

Mr. Jiang.

I've been staying here for the past few days.

I can vouch for Mr. Zhao.

He has been busy attending to guests.

He hasn't even gone outside all this time.

How would he buy up those ingredients?

If Mr. Zhao didn't buy the ingredients,

then...

Mr. Tie.

Was it you who sent people to buy up those ingredients?

Mr. Jiang,

what do you mean by that?

Someone must be trying to frame us.

Why would he suspect Tie Wushuang now?

This is a serious matter. Words alone are not proof.

Who can prove that you didn't buy them?

The Luo brothers

can stand as witnesses.

Well...

-We don't know anything. -That's right.

How could you not know?

You were here when the ingredients were sent here.

-I-- -Mr. Tie.

You're highly respected.

Even if you bought the ingredients, it's not appropriate for us to ask.

That's right.

What a dramatic change in their attitude.

Both of them were still buttering up Tie Wushuang earlier.

Why would they turn on him in an instant?

Who these two men really are?

Why would both of you say such things?

-Well... -We are...

-just telling the truth. -You...

-We're just telling the truth. -This is a serious matter.

Without any solid evidence,

we can't tarnish Mr. Tie's reputation.

How about this?

After Ms. Tie takes the antidote

and when she gets better,

let's see what she has to say.

He Shuang.

Are you feeling better?

I feel much better.

Ms. Tie.

Do you still remember the person who sent you the poisoned wine?

I wandered around Duan Manor's garden that day.

A young man in purple clothes came.

My master asked me to send him a jar of good wine.

May I know who your master is?

My master is Tie Wushuang.

You!

This is nonsense. Don't slander me!

Every word I say is true.

Ms. Tie, we hold no grudges against each other.

Why are you framing me?

I...

Ms. Tie was poisoned. Why would she lie?

Jiang Biehe.

I never asked anyone to send wine to Mr. Hua,

not to mention poisoned wine.

I don't know Mr. Hua.

Why would I want to harm him?

You'll have to ask yourself that.

He Shuang.

-Take Ms. Tie down to rest. -Yes.

Mr. Hua.

Look within yourself.

Do you think that I would do you harm?

Before the truth comes to light,

I dare not make any conclusions.

Do you really suspect me?

I see you're new to the martial arts world.

You don't know me at all!

I live my life with honor and integrity.

I've never done anything against my conscience!

Tell me.

Do you believe I would poison someone?

Well...

Mr. Tie is a martial arts master.

I don't think you would do such a despicable act.

Did you hear that?

You can say something too.

Don't be afraid of Mr. Tie.

Just speak your mind.

Step forward.

Mr. Jiang, what do you wish of me?

Did you hear what Mr. Tie said?

I heard it loud and clear.

Does he have a reason to harm Ms. Tie?

No.

Do you mean he isn't the culprit?

I believe he is the culprit.

Tell me what you're thinking.

I think

Mr. Tie did not intend to kill Ms. Tie,

but he intended to kill Mr. Hua.

The real target should be Mr. Hua.

Ms. Tie was just an innocent victim.

But he holds no grudges against Mr. Hua.

Why would he want to kill him?

That's right.

Why would I want to kill him?

There are a few possibilities.

If you think so,

let's hear them.

The reasons for the killing are among the following.

Firstly, it was because of grudges.

I already said it, I hold no grudge against him!

Secondly, it was because he was jealous of the worthy and able.

What a joke.

Thirdly,

perhaps he had done something shady

and was afraid others would find out,

so he wanted to silence him.

This porter has a glib tongue indeed.

I've never seen him before,

but why does he look so familiar?

It's really odd.

I've stood tall and lived with honor and integrity all my life.

I've never done anything to harm other people.

But you spoke about all this nonsense without thinking.

All right. In front of everyone here,

tell us what shady things I may have done?

Then I'll say it, Mr. Tie.

Those in the armed escort companies

said you killed the people and stole the goods.

"Killed the people and stole the goods"?

Whose goods did I steal?

Mr. Duan Hefei's goods.

Duan Hefei?

You...

Everyone in town knows

that Duan Hefei and Mr. Zhao are sworn enemies.

If Duan Hefei's silver was stolen,

Mr. Zhao would be the happiest one.

Duan Hefei was an outsider.

If he was to leave because of this,

no one would take business away from Mr. Zhao anymore.

Even if that were true,

what does it have to do with me?

If it has nothing to do with you, why do you keep staying here?

Mr. Zhao must be deeply grateful to you and would reward you handsomely.

This is a profitable deal for you.

You thought no one would find out about this.

Even if the government investigates this,

it won't be traced back to you.

But you never expected

Mr. Duan would invite Mr. Hua and Mr. Jiang here

to jointly solve this case.

Mr. Jiang is your old friend, so you're not worried about him.

But Mr. Hua is the young master of Yihua Palace.

He just entered the martial arts world.

You haven't managed to be friends with him.

Furthermore, not only Mr. Hua has unmatched martial arts skills,

he is also very intelligent.

You've killed so many people.

How could you possibly not leave any trace behind?

You were afraid this would get out.

That's why you struck first to silence Mr. Hua.

I...

Am I right?

You lowly servant.

I will rip off that mouth of yours!

Mr. Tie!

Five Ultimate Skills?

So it's you, Jiang Yulang.

Are you trying to silence those who oppose you?

Jiang Biehe.

You...

So this trap was set up by the father and son of Jiang.

Well, Jiang Biehe.
