During the 16th Century in Ming Dynasty,
government power was manipulated by eunuchs
in a chaotic and infuriated nation,
Brigands in Jianghu colluded with the government,
Danger lurks in the darkness,
Ergo,
stories of love and hatred
in the turbulence and turmoil
unfold,
Big brother,
the rumor is on everyone's lips, Is it true?
There is no truth in rumors,
But Lao San won't give us fake news,
Song Yu hurried his way to Shacheng,
It must be about the treasure,
Big brother, they are already on us,
Is it too risky to
show up like this?
For a deal that even intrigued Sun Zhi,
it's totally worth it,
Justice has long arms,
If not for missing Lu Jian, the Ghost Three,
I would have taken you down by now,
I never thought that
the Four Ghosts from Hejian
would hide themselves in the gutter
just to be safe,
It must not be easy for you,
Big brother, she is Tie, Tie, Tie,
Wrong! I'm Sima Feiyan,
My friends in Jianghu
gave me the name, Ghost's Sorrow,
A Royal Constable that everyone knew about,
I see that
you're not doing better than us,
A former official, who do you think you are to arrest us?
Government abides by laws,
Jianghu follows rules,
I'm no longer with the government,
But you robbed government's treasury,
And killed 25 family members of the Anhui merchants,
Today, I'm gonna bring you back to justice,
To justice or freedom?
It's not your call,
I forgot to tell you,
The windows here,
I had them all sealed,
Don't worry, you three,
Someone is gonna let you down before dawn breaks,
Who?
The real Ghost's Sorrow,
Yang Xiaolou,
From Damingfu, Shandong, the Yang Xiaolou,
Wrong, she is now the
newly appointed constable of the Censorate,
I've sent her the message through a dove
and asked her to clean this up,
As for me,
I'm going to Shacheng
and look for your bother Lu Jian,
You are a joke,
You think you're gonna find him in Shacheng,
Great, care for a bet?
I'm gonna find him and I'm gonna find out
what he has been really up to hiding in Shacheng,
My orders, we leave for Peking tomorrow morning,
Young Master,
It seems rumor of the treasure has spread in Jianghu,
In recent days, many have been on their way
to Shacheng,
Doesn't matter,
My orders,
Everyone goes secretly,
As long as they make it out of Shacheng,
all shall be fine,
Yes,
Sun Biao!
Sun Biao,
Giddyap,
Whoa,
My lady, once we are outside of the Shanhaiguan Pass
and go to someplace without Sun Zhi in sight,
we will be trouble-free,
Tell me about it,
You see this Shacheng surrounded by desert
in the Northern frontier,
It gives off vibes of Jianghu,
To be part of Jianghu, we need to start from here,
This time in Shacheng,
we can drop by an old friend,
Let's go down this road and look for an inn,
Giddyap,
Several men, alive, disappeared overnight without a trace,
You expect me to believe this,
Recently, people from Jianghu
have often been seen in Shacheng,
I think it has something to do with these people,
People from Jianghu,
Incoming!
Your Honor, a few bodies have been found
outside the city gate,
What?
Giddyap, Giddyap,
-Giddyap, -Giddyap,
-Whoa, -Whoa,
Yezi, we stay here tonight
and enter the city tomorrow,
Okay,
Hi, anybody alive?
Come out and show yourself,
Yezi,
Stop shouting,
Remember who you are,
How many times have I told you?
Now we are out in Jianghu,
-we must-- -Lay low,
I got it, my lady,
Hello, anyone alive? Come out,
Hello, anyone?
Hello?
Sorry, we have closed,
Hey, buddy,
It's getting dark now,
And it's all wildness out there,
Can you let us stay here for one night?
No, I can't, I told you we are closed,
Do you have to make me lose my temper?
-What are you doing? -Stop,
You are so rude,
Sorry, waiter,
It's freezing out there,
We just stay for one night,
Hu Zi, take the guests to the room on the second floor,
Thanks, innkeeper,
Follow me,
The two-bit room is here,
Thanks,
Waiter, I'm wondering,
usually where are the guests from?
Just people in Jianghu, from all over the country,
My lady, anything wrong?
Miss, but what's wrong with it?
Let's go inside,
Yezi,
There is something strange with this inn,
Strange? Have you found something, my lady?
I smell a lot of blood in this place,
Ah,
Is it owned by brigands?
But I didn't notice anything,
There is bloodstain on the window frame
and pieces of broken furniture downstairs,
Fistfights are perfectly normal in those places,
Then how do you explain knife cuts on the pillar?
Though the bloodstain seems to have been there for days,
So, what should we do?
We're just here for a night,
Let's see how it goes,
Go,
Dead or alive,
is to dig the ground three feet,
Leave no stone unturned,
Yes, Your Honor,
Go,
Young Master,
Father, what is it that makes you so angry?
I heard that bodies have been found outside the city gate,
Are they not Young Master Mr, Song's people?
That's it,
Don't get yourself involved with government stuff,
Are you going out of the city
and go about the trade market at the border tomorrow?
Get back to your room and have some rest,
Yes, father,
Hum,
Why is it so slow? Where is my food?
-Buddy, -Right up, right up,
-Which is your best wine? -Sure, my guest,
My lady, the people in those dresses are not locals,
Neither are we,
Don't make trouble, Let's go,
-Okay, -And ours,
Sure, my guest,
Wine and food,
Please enjoy,
It's early in the morning,
Who are those people?
People from Jianghu, Seven Stars Gate from Guizhou,
The Seven Stars Gate,
They use the Seven Stars Sword,
They've got seven stars inlaid on the pocket
of concealed weapons,
Oh,
My master, it's here,
They must be inside,
My master, what brings you?
Hey,
Who is it so brave and dare to beat up man of Niu San?
My master, the people over there, they beat me,
It turns out it's just some weasels,
It turns out that the turtles were right,
Bravo,
Yezi,
Damn it,
Fire a low shot,
What is happening?
Wow, my master,
What are you doing here?
These people out of nowhere
beat up my man on my turf,
I am here to investigate a case,
Come,
Bring them back to the court,
Yes,
Behave yourself,
-Go, -Yezi,
-Let's go, -Go,
Stop,
You two have to come with me,
Why arresting us?
Why?
People have died in Shacheng,
You are all suspects,
Ok, we will go with you,
And I get to meet my old friend,
Hum, old friend,
Your Honor,
Take the guests to the inner chamber,
Yes,
All in all, The Chief Eunuch sabotaged us,
There is no place for us in the central plains,
We had to leave,
Uncle Ping, my dad always talked about you,
He said that you have integrity rarely seen those days,
But how come you have been dispatched to
a border town like this?
Did you offend someone?
Feiyan, integrity is hard to keep,
I understand,
I never thought that in this border city
I can have some peace after all,
To tell you the truth,
it's just as unsettling,
Uncle Ping, what is it that bothers you so much?
Not now,
Come, food and wine,
My lady, why the His Honor Mr, Wu seemed so hesitant?
It was obvious that he wanted your help,
but he faltered every time he tried to say it,
Because he knows I'm retired,
I won't be of any help,
There is no point asking,
My lady, I know deep down you want to help,
Am I right?
Want to help and be able to help are different,
You and I can't even save ourselves,
We'd be lucky enough to keep him out of our own trouble,
This time we came to Shacheng,
If not for catching Lu Jian,
I'd rather choose to avoid him,
-Who's there? -It's me,
Buqing!
Yes, Sister Feihua,
Come, Let's talk inside,
I've changed my name, It's Sima Feiyan now,
You may call me Sister Feiyan from now on,
Sima Feiyan,
By the way, I know you never lie,
I want to ask you something,
Has Uncle Ping recently
run into some kind of trouble?
Set roadblocks
on all roads leading to the capital,
Your Honor, with so many death,
we won't be able to hold up the news for long,
Have the roadblocks set anyway,
No matter Song Yu is alive or dead,
Feiyan, Buqing,
Father,
Buqing, leave us,
Yes, father,
Uncle Ping,
even though I no longer hold any official position,
I'm more than willing to help you out,
You shouldn't have held back from me,
Feiyan, come and sit,
Feiyan,
Me, I never wanted you to get involved,
But Buqing got you worried,
So, I'll just be truthful with you,
Maybe this is meant to be,
Sun Zhi's nephew, Song Yu,
came to the border for business
and stopped by Shacheng,
I arranged temporary accommodation for him
on the outskirts,
Three days ago, on his way back to the inn,
he disappeared mysteriously,
But according to the inn's people,
Song Yu never returned to the inn that night,
True,
Song Yu came here, for what kind of business?
I didn't know Song Yu before,
And this is only an official reception,
It's not my place to ask,
Are there any other leads then?
After inspection, on the way back to the inn from the county,
we found signs of blood and struggle,
And yesterday
we found several bodies just outside the town,
Your Honor, look at this,
On site, apart from bodies of the entourage,
we also found a headless body in Song Yu's clothes,
And Song Yu is still missing,
Is the headless body Song Yu?
How can you tell without the head?
In those days, when I was entertaining him,
we had a few meals together,
He was very forthright,
often rolled up his sleeves
and drank from the jar,
I remember clearly,
that he had a birthmark on his left arm,
The birthmark
was scarlet and round-shaped,
That's why I can remember so vividly,
Where are the other bodies?
-Uncle Ping, -Yes?
Are you sure these people were Song Yu's entourage?
Positive,
They came with Song Yu, I knew all of them,
The top-ranking officials among them were Tier 6,
Higher than me,
But apart from knife wounds,
there are also crossbow arrow marks on the bodies,
It's obviously done by Jianghu people,
Head Constable Xu also suspected Jianghu people,
Uncle Ping, there's one thing I cannot figure out,
I need your insight,
What is it?
I found recently a large number of Jianghu people
have come to Shacheng,
What are they here for?
Well, I don't know either,
But these people have been
making trouble ever since they came here,
I need to figure out a way to drive them away,
Feiyan, if I cannot close this case,
I might lose my job, but it's fine,
I'm afraid to implicate Buqing though,
I've made up my mind,
If anything happens to me,
I want you to protect and take care of Buqing,
Since you plan to cross the border,
maybe you could take Buqing with you,
I'm not leaving,
We two, father and son, stay together as one,
Buqing, it's not the time for you to act on impulse,
Father,
If I leave you now,
what kind of son am I?
And Sister Feiyan would despise me for the rest of my life,
Uncle Ping, let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet,
Song Yu's death
has nothing to do with you two,
Even if Sun Zhi sent people here to investigate,
they would be after the killers,
So, our priority now
is to find the killers,
How would you like to proceed then?
How far is it from here to Shacheng and to the inn?
The inn is 3km away in the east
and Shacheng is 5km away in the west,
Which means
one must pass through the forest to get to downtown,
Sure,
Here, this is where we found the signs of blood
and struggle,
No, this scene is staged,
What?
My lady, I feel the same way,
What did you find?
If there was a fight here
and blood splashed onto the tree leaves,
how come the tree branches nearby are still intact?
Exactly,
Besides, if a person
is killed by blade,
his blood should be splashed,
not in flakes,
which is sufficient to prove
that this crime scene is staged,
Lady Sima, you mean
someone is trying to mislead us?
Also,
this is not human blood
but rather chicken and dog blood,
What?
Constable Xu, I need to go back to the inn,
-To the inn? -Yes,
I need to do some secret investigation,
But it's better that you stay behind,
Giddyap, giddyap,
Whoa,
Buddy, open up,
Sorry, My Lady, we are fully occupied,
Hey, are you trying to mess up with me?
No, you've got me wrong,
It's for your own good not to let you in,
You stop us, you can't mean anything good,
I guess you are forcing me to be unladylike,
Excuse me,
I didn't realize you have such a gathering here,
You go ahead and don't mind us,
Buddy, we want two bowls of noodles,
All right,
Yes, coming,
It's so weird,
So many more people have come overnight,
Who are they?
The men behind you are with Jujietang,
The couple over there are from Wushuang Sword Sect,
The man sitting alone behind me is Feng Yizhen,
Those two tables by the stairs
are taken by Wuhumen and Chutianmeng people,
My lady,
you didn't even look
yet you've got all the information,
I took one glance while stepping in,
Since we have all agreed,
let's do this by the rules,
I'm from Wuhumen, and I would like to take the first battle
with fellows from Jujietang,
Let's cut the crap
and see what you've got,
They started fighting just like that,
What kind of rules are these?
Your noodles,
Please enjoy,
Hey, buddy,
what are these people here for?
Recently many Jianghu people traveled here
to search for treasure,
Fighting happens all the time,
Treasure? What treasure?
I really don't know,
Mind your own business,
Eat your noodles,
OK,
Fellows from Jujietang are gracious enough to let me win,
I wonder which one of you wants to go next,
Wushuang Sword Sect, please,
My lady, what do you think is going on here?
They are fighting each other one by one,
They won't go too far,
The ones who lose will know better than
to go to extremes,
Eh,
Let's go,
Young Master Mr, Qin,
If you are not feeling up to it,
we can skip this round,
Using hidden weapons, that's not fair,
That's Chutianmeng's Circling Fan,
Yezi, let's go,
Eh? My lady, I thought we were investigating the case,
It's too chaotic today, Leave it to tomorrow,
All right,
Ladies, please wait,
You would like to waste your time fighting each other,
It has nothing to do with us,
I just want you two to bear a witness here,
See which one of us, me or the annoying herbalist,
gets to win,
We are just passing by,
We don't want any trouble,
Let's go,
My lady,
I know you,
You are the one from the capital,
You've mistaken me for someone else,
My name is Sima Feiyan,
Sima Feiyan,
Like I just said, we don't want any trouble,
Only passing by,
Revealing my identity does you no good,
Excuse me,
You are all here,
It saves me a lot of trouble searching for you,
You've provoked fighting, caused trouble,
and damaged Shacheng's public security,
Come, take them all back to the court,
Yes, sir,
Your Honor,
we are just comparing notes,
Your Honor,
we really are not making trouble,
Just after enough food and drinks,
we want to spend some time comparing notes,
Comparing notes?
Yes,
His Honor asked me to come protect you,
Thanks,
I still have something to say,
Please head back first, Constable Xu,
Ok then,
You'd better know your place and behave yourselves,
There are other people doing business in the inn,
Cut out all this fighting, It's improper,
Let's go,
Innkeeper, get us a room,
Sure, no problem,
The other year in Junzhou,
I remember catching some of you people with Chutianmeng,
You were one of them,
You should be in jail right now,
How did you get out?
Did you pay your way out?
If you don't want to go back to jail,
next,
I ask, you answer,
No holding back, no lies,
I want to know
the treasure you were talking about,
What is it?
There have been rumors in Jianghu
that a fortune from Country Yehuan
was buried in quicksand,
A celestial master asked the God's will and figured out
the quicksand would retreat every forty-nine years
and the city would reappear,
but only for a very short period,
That's why every forty-nine years
there would be people searching for
the immense fortune,
Just a rumor
drags you all the way down here?
Anyhow, we are determined to search for the treasure,
This year is exactly the forty-ninth year,
The next time would be in next life,
Fine,
I have more questions for you,
Since you live here,
have you met a man
named Song Yu
with a capital accent, a little fat,
and with servants accompanied?
We moved in only the day before yesterday,
Uncle Ping,
did Song Yu come to Biancheng for the treasure?
That was merely a rumor passing by
that caused disturbances,
Ah,
Feiyan, do you have any clue?
From the wound,
it was done by people from Jianghu for sure,
but the trace left on the official road was intentional,
If Song Yu was not taken on the official road,
I doubted that,
The primary scene must be in the inn,
I will send people to seal up the inn immediately,
and people who stayed at the inn in the past few days
will be arrested for question,
Wait,
The disappearance of Song Yu must have some hidden facts,
Our aim is to find him
without acting rashly,
If people seized him found out and hurt him
that would be bad,
How are you planning to find Song Yu?
I'm planning to stay at the inn for a couple of days
and have a look at the rooms of Song Yu and his servants,
Since there was the crime scene,
it might be dangerous,
Only danger brings opportunities,
Officials from the court notified us already,
but the guest staying in this room
is not willing to move out,
We could only open the door for you while he isn't around,
Here it is,
Thanks,
No, It's not right,
If the sound was so loud,
the bodyguards would rush in immediately,
From the traces left beforehand
the bodyguards never entered this room,
Were they killed before Song Yu was attacked?
If they were killed before that,
then,,,
Come on, Bottoms up,
This is pretty much the whole thing,
But by far,
other bodies have all been found,
Everyone else's body was found,
And within several miles from here,
there's no place for hiding people or bodies,
I can tell the primary scene should be the inn,
Song Yu could only disappear from the inn,
But
who would have done this?
Where would they hide Song Yu?
How about this?
I will send people to search all over the place
as soon as possible,
It would be more dangerous as time passes by,
Well, we will wait for you,
I told you I should be with you,
There are so many constables that are responsible
for the security of the court,
Who could possibly hurt His Honor Mr, Wu and his son?
Why must I protect them?
Now we are under the light, and they hide in the dark,
We cannot let our guards down,
Besides, the man who kidnapped Song Yu
might come to destroy the evidences
in the magistrate court and assassinate,
I was more relieved if you were here,
Well,,,
My lady, you haven't slept the whole night,
Have some rest,
Um,
Buqing,
Sister Feiyan, while you are staying in the inn these days
are you thinking that something is wrong with the inn?
Why do you ask?
I heard it from Head Constable Xu,
He said the inn was the crime scene
hidden with dangers,
I was worried about you,
Sister Feiyan,
these days I keep thinking of
the scenes you protected me when I was young,
You were introverted then and weak,
Sister Feiyan,
although I was protected by you since I was young,
never being bullied,
I actually was not weak as you and father thought,
I don't mean you are weak,
A man has a strong body or skillful Kung Fu skills,
That is one man's power,
Words are for conveying the truth, and with knowledge
and talent, a country can thrive,
Intellectuals are the foundation for a country,
I intended to take the imperial exam,
However, things happen,
Father was humiliated, and I was also involved,
There was no hope for official career,
Every cloud has a silver lining,
As long as you have something in mind,
there will be opportunities,
You are absolutely right, Sister Feiyan,
As the old saying goes,
how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?
Are you sure it's Song Yu?
Your Honor, I saw the birthmark,
The birthmark,
Giddyap,
Whoa,
There is no bloodstain all along the way
until here,
That means these bodies are moved here,
Why is the killer so ruthless?
Killing is not enough, he dismembered them,
Was it for covering the identity of Song Yu?
No,
If it was for hiding,
the bodies couldn't be left here,
Even the most symbolic arms were left,
Why did the murderer dismember them?
He did it for deceiving us and making them easy to move,
Deceiving us,
Were they carried from inside the town?
Constable Xu, carry these bodies back
and piece them together carefully,
See if there were any missing parts,
Ok,
His hands and feet were cut off before he was dead,
The blood could not circulate,
The most deadly cut was on the neck,
It was so skillful and the cut was accurate,
Why do you say that?
Only one cut,
He bled to death soon after,
Keep going,
When dismembering,
each cut was done from the joint,
never touching the bone,
So,,,
So, the killer must use knife very often,
Not exactly, Look closer,
From the section of the cut,
the murderer is supposed to hold the knife with his left hand,
A left-hander,
Yes,
It's the smell of lard oil,
It's a butcher,
Yezi, you finally began to understand,
The knife was covered with oil,
It should be something he often uses,
not something he grabbed randomly,
And killing needs a lot of strength,
Butcher
is more likely than a cook,
Yes,
Feiyan,
are you also suspecting
the murderer is one of the butchers?
Uncle Ping,
I cannot tell you right now,
I need more clues,
Um,
Fine,
Who do you think is the most suspicious?
I have no answer yet,
What are you planning to do next?
Test,
Ah, Brother Wu,
Sorry, I mistook you for someone else,
What are you doing?
When attacked unexpectedly,
for a person with or without Kung Fu,
the reaction would be totally different,
Butcher Jia definitely has no Kung Fu skills,
Ah, Lao Wang, go drink?
Oh, I'm sorry I mistook you for someone else,
Hey, how are you doing?
Hey, Lao Wu?
Sorry, I made a mistake,
My lady,
Butcher Wang seemed to know no Kung Fu skills either,
No, he knows,
very well
and is good at hiding his instinctive reaction,
This Butcher Wang
needs to be questioned carefully,
Hey, Lao Wu, let's go for a drink,
Why did you hit me?
I just mistook you for someone else!
Go away,
Butcher Sun is left-handed as expected,
My lady, forget it,
if we did dig something out, I wasn't hit for nothing,
Why don't we tell His Honor Mr, Wu right away?
Because I cannot tell
is it Butcher Wang or Butcher Sun,
Haven't we tested them?
Don't forget, Butcher Wang is a Kung Fu master,
Maybe he uses left hand very often,
and to frame someone else,
he used left hand also while committing the murder,
That makes sense,
Indeed, it belongs to Song Yu,
He wore it around the waist,
So it's Butcher Sun,
Maybe he was also part of the killing at the inn,
Shacheng is a presidio in the first place,
Many criminals freed settled down here,
This Butcher Sun
has a criminal record of hurting others
and was exiled to Shacheng,
Later he became a new man
and was released from jail ahead of time,
Then he had a home here,
Now that he got married after jail,
he should have lived his life,
Why getting back to this again?
As long as there was enough money,
he is willing to take the risk,
Who would hire him?
The answer,,,
would be clear after interrogation,
No, Uncle Ping,
now is not the perfect moment for arresting him,
We should wait for the big fish to bite the bait,
Yo,
Young lady, it's you again,
Yes,
I cannot find better wine elsewhere,
I come to buy some wine,
Sure,
Our wine comes from the market at the boundary
delivered directly from the border market
Your meat is also good,
Thanks for patronizing us this whole time,
I'm in a hurry, please get the wine for me,
Oh, by the way,
I just saw a guy
delivering beef and lamb here,
Didn't you tell me
that you butcher your own cattle here?
When it gets busy,
we ask butcher shops in town for delivery,
Here you go,
Ok, thanks,
Take care,
Lu Jian?
How did you know it's him?
His knuckles are black,
his little finger is always off when holding things,
It's a habit from practicing Ghosty Four-Fingers,
which is also the signature of Lu Jian, the Ghost Three,
You followed the criminal to Shacheng,
And the criminal you are after is just at the inn,
What a coincidence,
It's not a coincidence,
Lu Jian is the most cunning and greedy of the four Ghosts,
He traveled all the way here,
It must be a fat deal,
There is definitely something wrong with the inn,
The man behind Lu Jian and Butcher Sun
can't be simple,
I'll go to the inn again tonight
to see if there are any other clues,
Mr, Feng, please accept Sima Feiyan's visit,
Many apologies for last time,
Today I prepare some humble wine for a formal apology,
In this Jianghu,
I will inevitably need my friends' help,
Especially those from the Fengchi Heights,
I have admired your reputation for a long time,
Mr, Feng?
He just died,
Sima Feiyan, you murdered him,
Sima Feiyan didn't kill him,
Then who?
It's her,
It must be her,
I can't believe she's a murderer,
It can't be wrong, it's her,
OK, quiet,
You discussed for quite some time,
but who actually
witnessed Sima Feiyan committing murder?
What you just saw
is that she is the first to appear at the crime scene,
While the criminal may had just escaped the scene,
Come,
Take the suspect and the body of the victim
back to the county court,
Yes!
I can't leave,
The murderer will definitely take other actions,
How can I do nothing and see him take other people's lives?
But, but even your own life is in danger,
I am already investigating Butcher Sun,
I'm getting to the bottom of this,
I have arrested his wife,
You are alerting our enemy,
That's exactly what I want,
to make Butcher Sun give himself away,
Oh no, he may want to escape,
I've expected it,
I've already issued an order to block the town,
Halt!
Don't move,
Stop him!
Stop!
Don't even try,
Keep him alive!
Your Honor,
I want to meet Butcher Sun's wife,
Well,,,
Yeah, that's OK,
Your Honor, Butcher Sun's wife hanged herself,
What?
Feiyan,
This case has to close here,
I'll close it,
Sister Feiyan,
You've been sitting here for a few hours,
What are you thinking?
Buqing, Uncle Ping in your view
is a good official or not?
Who?
In this corrupted world,
it's very difficult to be a good official,
If given the choice,
I'd rather he wasn't an official
whether good or bad,
Thief!
Protect His Honor!
Father!
My friend,
I am also from Kuaiyitang,
I've long heard of the genius female constable
of the Censorate,
Excellent as her male colleagues,
Your reputation is well-deserved indeed,
I have one thing yet to figure out,
Please enlighten me, my friend,
Buqing,
Ms, Yezi,
please leave us and close the door,
Yezi, send a letter for me out of town later,
Where to? Who should I look for?
Go straight east after going out of town,
Someone will meet you there,
Whoa!
His Honor, Mr, Wu has ordered to block the town for a month,
Unless issued a special paper, no one is allowed in or out,
Cut the nonsense!
Giddyap!
Stop!
Feiyan,
What's the matter at this time of night?
Uncle Ping,
What did Song Yu come to Shacheng for?
I told you already, I don't know,
Song Yu disappeared from the inn,
And the inn is full of your people,
I wonder what you came to Shacheng for?
It was true that you offended the Hangzhou Magistrate,
Originally, you were sent to Qiantang,
But you wouldn't go to such a nice place,
Rather, you asked everyone you can to request for you
so that you could come to this town at the border,
Why?
Great,
You were checking up on me,
I just think about the clues from these few days
over and over again,
And all the doubts pointed to a single person,
It was you,
Besides, it was you who invited Song Yu to Shacheng,
Me?
I barely know him,
Would he come if I asked?
Yes,
Because of the treasure,
Now that I was asking him a favor,
why would I kill him?
Because you know very well
that Sun Zhi is a ruthless man,
Even if he got the treasure,
he wouldn't allow your promotion,
but would rather kill you so that he could have the treasure
all to himself,
But,,,
before killing Song Yu,
you needed to find the two treasure maps first,
So you captured him and tortured him for information,
But my investigation disrupted your plan
because I found so many clues,
You couldn't execute your plan,
So you killed Song Yu out of necessity,
to avoid giving yourself away,
I'll pretend that I am just hearing a story,
To prevent me from investigating further,
you devised a murder case to frame me for it
just to make me leave,
Of course,
it might be for another reason that you killed them,
Because you were afraid
that if they stay at the inn for too long
and discovered the clues to the two treasure maps,
Especially Feng Yizhen, who lived in Song Yu's room,
Like manipulating a puppet on a string,
you let Constable Xu to do all these things,
Butcher Sun and his wife
are also killers hired by you,
Butcher Sun is the one who dismembered Song Yu,
You killed Butcher Sun and his wife
and covered up the whole thing,
It can only mean that before you asked Song Yu here,
you already had those two treasure maps
and you made a copy for both of them,
You are really worthy of your title of Royal Constable,
A tiger's daughter is no kitten indeed,
When my father was alive,
he respected you for your courage and integrity,
He would feel sorry for you in Heaven,
Feiyan, don't bother to persuade me,
If you didn't see that half of the map
real and clear,
you wouldn't blabber about the treasure map,
So,,,
you must have that map,
Your Honor,
Hmmm?
You wanted to send her away
and ask me for an explanation all by yourself,
You are a loyal friend,
aren't you?
Give me that half of the treasure map,
and I will spare your life,
Uncle Ping, don't be obsessed with wrong desires,
think about Buqing,
You won't give me that half?
All right,
Then I'll give you mine,
In this desert,
when the wind blows up the sand,
the landscape will change many times within a single day,
Even for me,
it will take quite some time to figure out the map,
I don't know about the Five Elements,
But you,,,
you are the best guide,
So what's your plan
before Sun Zhi comes here?
Is it to find the treasure
and then send us out of the border,
or to send us to death
and frame me for Song Yu's death
so that you can explain everything to Sun Zhi?
Young Master,
Let me in!
Father!
I won't let you hurt Sister Feiyan,
We can't even preserve ourselves
and you want to play the hero that saves the beauty?
-Come! -Yes, sir,
Take him away!
Yes, sir,
Young master,
Sister Feiyan! I will get you out,
Trust me, Sister Feiyan!
Sister Feiyan!
I'll get you out, trust me!
Tomorrow is the 49th year of Tianyun,
the day when Country Yehuan appears again,
If you can't find the treasure,
you two will be buried in the sands,
The Compass of the Five Elements has three dials and three hands,
The Dial of the Earth is for setting the direction,
The Dial for the Man is for dispersing the sand,
The Dial for the Heaven is for gathering the water,
As indicated in this map,
the location of Country Yehuan
is completely against the law of Earth, man, and heaven,
Yin and Yang do not meet to form a fortune knot,
neither do they merge,
It's a place of great misfortune,
No wonder the nation's fortune couldn't last for 60 years,
If the treasure really goes to a person,
it will be treasure of misfortune,
Here is the former site of Country Yehuan,
Ok, everyone listen carefully,
This direction,
keep digging!
Master, we just found the entrance to the cave!
Guard it strictly,
-Allow no one in or out, -Yes!
Uncle Ping,
Don't say anything,
At this point there is no way back,
Go ahead, lead us,
Be careful!
Uncle Ping, this place is dangerous, it's not worth it,
If I don't make it,
Buqing will die, too,
Be careful!
Let's go,
Uncle Ping,
I was wrong about one thing from the beginning,
What?
It wasn't you who killed Song Yu,
Of course it was me,
No,
all you wanted is promotion and fortune,
Even if Sunzhi wanted to kill you,
you wouldn't do this,
because you agreed beforehand,
Only the man who killed Song Yu
not only bought over your people at the inn
but also Constable Xu,
So your plan didn't work as you expected
I don't know what you are talking about,
After Song Yu missed, you indeed panicked,
That's why deceived me to help you,
It's just when you knew
it was him who killed Song Yu
you destroyed all evidence
and set me up,
Everything you are doing has nothing to do with the treasure
or promotion or fortune,
It was about protecting him,
That's not true,,,
but just your wild guess,
Go!
Go,
What's this place?
Buqing?
Dad,
I told you, don't get into this!
Father, don't be mad,
We are family,
We share and share alike,
Enough!
You should've believed me,
Sister Feiyan, I told you
I could protect you,
Once we have the treasure,
we can go anywhere,
We can go outside of the Shanhaiguan Pass
and establish a small country,
I will be the emperor and you will be my empress,
Shut up!
You are driving me crazy,
Father, you still don't get it,
The officialdom is so difficult,
The world is a mess,
Why keep forcing yourself?
My silly child,
you know what you are doing,
You are selling your country out,
Such a country isn't worth my loyalty,
Young Master Wu,
All those in the inn have been bought or replaced by us to
ensure our plan goes right,
Good,
Song Yu is already dead,
When Country Yehuan appears,
we can go for the treasure,
Our master will you help you be the ruler of the country,
Hope you get what you want,
That's for sure,
In the future, Xiwu,
when you attack Ming will be your
most loyal grain depot and intelligence stations,
Sister Feiyan, don't you worry,
I won't give you to Sun Zhi,
But we do need a bit of time
to enable our kingdom,
Buqing, it is not too late,
I am still your sister,
I will be with you when you turn yourself in
at the magistrate court,
Sister Feiyan, I can do anything you want
except for this,
Uncle Ping, Buqing,
So many years at the officialdom
after all kinds of difficulties, I am still safe,
A small Shacheng is nothing to me,
I let you use Yezi to threaten me
just to buy some time
to make you see,
It seems that,,,
it was all in vain,
No more, There is no turning back for me,
But Yezi's life
is still up to you,
Right,
I have Yezi,
It is just when we got out of Shacheng,
she was already safe and sound,
What? So,
I asked for the favor of a Jianghu friend
who tried to kill you,
That's ok, You are still in my hands,
And the treasure is still in there,
Go, find it,
Go,
We found the treasure!
Treasure!
Ah, it is gold!
Treasures, treasures!
Feiyan, you are my empress,
Everyone surrenders himself to us,
Nobody dares disobey!
My calvary, my calvary!
My two calvaries!
Why don't I have such fantasies?
Is it something in here
that amplified their inner desires?
Or,,,
it is because I don't have desires
so I can't see any fantasies?
Glowing pearl!
Luminous pearl, gold bar, gold bar,
All mine, all mine!
My throne!
Uncle Ping, Uncle Ping, you wake up!
Wake up!
Uncle Ping, wake up please!
Quicksand is coming,
Country Yehuan is about to disappear,
Quicksand?
All mine!
Come down, go, the quicksand is coming!
I am not leaving,
I can't stay at Shacheng forever,
Go off!
Father!
Uncle Ping!
Father!
Uncle Ping!
Son,,,
I was wrong,
It was me who led you
deep into this,
You are still young,
There is turning back,
Go with Feiyan,
Forget everything here,
Uncle Ping, rest assured, I promise you,
I'm going to take the green step,
Thank you,
Father!
Uncle Ping, Uncle Ping!
Father!
Father,,,
Come on, let's go!
Father, let's go, You wake up, go, father,
Father!
-Come on, -I am not leaving,
Come on!
Buqing, come on, that way!
Let go of me!
It is about to collapse!
Come with me now!
Wu Buqing!
Look out!
Go!
-Don't go in there! -Let go!
Buqing!
Be careful!
Danger!
Come back!
Buqing!
Come back!
Buqing!
Don't go inside!
No way,
Where is it?
There's gotta be treasure, there's gotta be treasure,
There must be!
Buqing!
I see,
Here records a country's
words, history, and cultural beliefs,
These are the real treasure,
There's gotta be, gotta be!
Buqing!
Buqing, it is collapsing!
Come on!
-Go! -I am not leaving,
-Come with me, -There must be treasure,
I am not leaving, There must be treasure!
Buqing!
Wu Buqing!
Buqing, Buqing!
Sister Feiyan,
Go, Listen to me,
Go out, the second stone gate,
Then turn right and go straight,
you will get to the inn,
That is how I got here,
When dealing with Songyu's body,
I found it by surprise,
Buqing, I will take you out of here,
I will always be with you,
if you don't forget me,
Tell those greedy idiots
there is no treasure here,
Don't let them get killed for nothing,
Only if you are out, you can save them,
Go!
-Buqing! -Go!
Go!
Come on,
Wu Buqing!
It's me, Sister Feihua,
I won't let you hurt Sister Feiyan,
Sister,
As the old saying goes,
how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?
Have you seen my lady?
You, see my lady?
No, no, no,
Innkeeper,
Innkeeper, did you see my lady?
I didn't,
My lady!
Lu Jian,
It was you, Justice has long arms,
Everyone!
The treasure of Country Yehuan is just a rumor,
You may quit,
But today,
let's see if you want it,
See if you want it,
He is a wanted man of the court,
I have notified
the Chief Constable Yang Xiaolou from the Censorate,
If you hand this man to her,
that is quite a favor,
Miss Sima, how about handing him over to me?
OK,
Thank you for your help, my friend,
Welcome,
One thing I don't understand,
You could have left all of this,
Why took the risks?
Because I wanted to give the father and the son a chance,
But in the end,
reason was defeated by desire,
So there is nothing that I can do,
What a pity,
The treasure is just some useless paper,
No, If Yehuan people want to re-establish their country,
they can't rely on gold and silver
but rather on the paper you referred to,
Right,
So where will you go?
Suzhi will have his people to guard the city gates,
Won't be easy to get out,
Even if you're lucky,
they will surely come after you,
I'm not leaving,
Since he won't let me go,
I will stay here to be the trouble for him,
OK,
Kuaiyitang will always be your friend,
Thanks, Take care,
Take care,
Giddyap!
