I haven't walked that path in years.
This path never used to feel this long to me.
There are very few who ever get to walk this path
Minister Cai, you're very early.
[ Hall of Ceremony]
I'm very sorry to have troubled you Prince. Rise, Lord An.
I apologize for this great discourtesy.
Thank you, your Highness.
Your family has seen tragedy
A Shigeng committed a great crime.
But he was killed by Department Six and the Divine Constabulary.
though his corpse was mutilated
His Majesty knows Lord An helped the Imperial Court in many occasions.
and was a good, charitable man.
I think we can treat matters as finished for now.
Isn't that right, Prince?
As the Minister says.
We can put this in the past.
l only come today to report to His Majesty.
Please don't worry Minister.
And you too, Lord An.
With both Department Six and the Divine Constabulary with us,
l feel most at ease.
I'll leave you to your work.
Let's go.
Minister Cai was chosen by the Empress Dowager to help His Majesty take the throne.
Challenging his authority would not be easy task.
Are other people just the same as us?
What ?
You have nothing to say?
What do you mean?
What do you want me to say?
I think this is perfect.
Mm...
Iron Hands, look at this!
You are a quick learner.
l'd never think such a small flick of the wrist
could make such a difference.
Can you teach me a little more next time?
Sure
That kung fu was incredible.
It's called "Lightning Bolt Eyes".
and to women, it comes naturally with practice. It's called "Lightning Bolt Eyes".
and to women, it comes naturally with practice.
When he's here you barely look at him.
Then when he leaves
and leave you a letter you're still not happy.
Women.
That's really deep and powerful kung fu.
We're not that deep.
I just wanted to learn more from you, Life Snatcher.
- Really? - Ah
- Don't run
Dumpy is so fast.
Come on, Doggie.
The Divine Constabulary
seems to abound with rare talents
How can ordinary people like me
achieve such levels of skills?
Some people are born with a little talent.
But that just means they started from a slightly higher position.
You are a great master yourself, Liu.
You are hardly ordinary.
You're making fun of me, Zhengwo. You are hardly ordinary.
You're making fun of me, Zhengwo.
When the court saw
what you're capable of,
I was ashamed to show my face.
What amazing feats?
It's just that my heart is clear and unimpeded.
allowing me to perform the baqua movements a little faster.
A clear heart?
Don't underestimate the power of the heart
A clear mind, no distractions.
Truly perceiving, understanding.
These can produce a force of immeasurable power.
And it begins with letting go.
Letting go?
Yes.
It's like this cup.
You hold onto it.
it will only ever be able to hold this much water.
If you let it go
it can hold limitless amounts of water.
However much energy we can create by ourselves.
It will never approach that of nature.
My power is not my own
It's borrowed.
I thank you for your help, Zhengwo.
You are too kind, Liu.
Whichever school or discipline we study
We are just developing our hearts.
We all walk the same path.
How far we travel depends only on ourselves.
How are things?
Very good.
Department Six abolished titles for the 4 top constables.
Why ?
Haven't you heard?
People in the city already have their own list of "the Four".
Coldblood, Emotionless.
Iron Hands, Life Snatcher
If I choose my own "Four" I'd make fools of us
It's all right, though.
Department Six is now more stable than ever.
without the arrogance we had in the past.
The poison in your blood has not resurfaced?
Not recently
lt seems you've learned to control the beast inside you.
To control your emotions.
I know how good that kind of redemption feels
But you must always remember.
Where there is light there is shadow,
Yaohua, you're here
- You're finally here - I was worried you couldn't get here.
Right. We were so worried.
We came from ten miles away by fast horse.
Anyway we made it in time to meet you.
It's getting foggy
How did it get so thick so fast?
Where is Bell?
Bell
Why did you run off like that?
Finally you're here I was terrified
Why did you run off like that?
Because you ignore me!
When did I ignore you? You always make things my fault.
Please don't fight.
Let's go back.
Are you okay ?
Wait a second
What is it?
There's a strong smell of human blood.
Oh, is this wrong?
We shouldn't barge into a locked home.
We're on a case.
It think it must be deserted.
Let's see what Coldblood says.
What do you think?
Are you okay ?
Rest for now.
You burnt almost all you qi.
Iron Hands! There's one alive here!
This man is Ouyang Da
There's been no trace of him for years.
You recognize him, Zhengwo?
The attacker used a powerful hand cannon.
that I've never heard of before.
Hadn't he being wearing armor,
he would have died immediately.
I have a feeling about this case.
Lord Liu.
would you pass this case to the Divine Constabulary?
Lord!
If Zhengwo thinks he can solve it,
then I think we can leave it to him.
Thank you, Lord Liu.
You little cockroach, You're still alive?
Are you alright, Coldblood?
If we need help, Lord Liu,
we'll make sure to call on Department Six.
You're back again, Coldblood.
He hasn't woken up yet.
Yes.
[Department Six ]
The Ouyang Da case
is almost certainly connected
with some of our other current cases.
How can you give it to the Divine Constabulary?
You're right. All the evidence suggest
the attackers in these cases are the same.
Let the Divine Constabulary manage the Ouyang Da case.
l never said we'd stop work on our other cases.
Zhuge Zhengwo has a special interest in this case.
You suspect Zhuge Zhengwo, Mylord?
I wouldn't call it suspicion. You suspect Zhuge Zhengwo, Mylord?
I wouldn't call it suspicion.
l'm just interested in knowing all the facts.
Ji Yaohua,
see if the Divine Constabulary needs any help,
whether we need to be involved
Yes, Sir.
Jian Lei,
l'll lead the investigation into these cases
lncluding the Ouyang Da case.
Keep everything quiet.
Yes, Sir.
If the heart is clear,
Is everything possible?
Zhengwo,
l think I understand now.
You're so lucky!
- You received a present from Iron Hands! - No!
Now knock it off!
Give me that stone back!
You're still denying it!
Give it back!
You look so tense!
Don't make a fuss,
Why would anyone fee tense.
about the men in the Divine Constabulary?
Give it back!
You've never received a present from a man?
What do you know about it?
Have you?
I will soon
Good.
After the Spring Festival
You should give up this job and find husbands.
Who wants a husband!
Being a Department Six constable is lots more fun.
What's wrong with being a normal woman?
To be Detectives and constables under Ji Yaohua
is much more impressive.
Yeah!
We even get our own bathhouse!
It's really impressive!
I'm just worried it's so impressive
that no man will want you.
If you don't marry,
then we won't marry either.
Be careful Don't say something you'll regret.
Of course we won't
Think about it
Yes! Yes!
The question is.. Will you marry one?
Enough, I haven't think about it.
You really haven't though about it?
Stop bothering her. Come on, let's head back.
let's get to bed. Let's go
Why?
I want to write the rest of the story myself.
Destiny leads us down paths long and short and takes us to strange places.
All you have to do is recognize it.
Enjoy your journey.
Bye.
Do not be afraid
Take her to rest -Yes
Lord An,
Although the Divine Constabulary and Department Six are investigating carefully
they can only do so here in Peking.
We are now distributing counterfeits notes and coins around the whole country.
and popular unrest is rising.
Please don't worry, Lord An.
Don't worry?
It's because of your failings
that my son is in this condition.
Lord An,
Lord An, please calm down.
Your son was very lucky,
and by superbly grafting him to Sun Sage Tree roots,
you've granted him life to a ripe old age.
He has been most fortunate
It was Heaven's will.
Lord An,
you'll be able to avenge your son soon.
I will hold those in the Divine Constabulary accountable.
Do you think killing a few people counts as revenge?
Right.
I want to make the King
break his promise to heaven.
Yes...
I want to rule the country!
You'd be lucky to be Prime Minister.
with that beggar's kneel.
Yes, Lord An.
Go.
What is it?
Lord An,
Spring Festival is coming again.
and I haven't received my antidote this month.
You're already immensely wealthy,
why do you also need to rule?
Hasn't everything I've done
all been for you?
For me?
Or your idea of what you want me to be?
Why don't you just take the throne?
Actually I think my current situation
Is quite satisfactory.
My mind is still working,
I can think over everything that happened.
If only I could still see the people from back then
lt would be even better
But in my current condition
You must warn everyone back home
to protect against fire
OuYang Da
You still couldn't let us get away?
Stop!
Help! Stop!
Deputy Chief. Stop!
The injured man, Ouyang Da, who was taken to the Divine Constabulary. Stop!
has died suddenly. Stop!
They say, when he woke up, he went crazy, Stop!
burned through all his qi and died.
Stop!
What do you think that means? Stop!
Maybe someone wanted to shut him up. Stop!
they want the investigation stopped.
Stop!
Who would want him silenced? Stop!
I can't read minds, Stop!
I'm just guessing, but... Stop!
Zhuge Zhengwo. Stop!
Suspicion surrounding Zhuge Zhengwo seems to be mounting. Stop!
Continue the investigation.
l'm going to have a word with Coldblood.
You're not worried you'll give us away?
It will be fine.
Don't worry. I'll go.
Yaohua
this Colblood,
I understand him.
Once he made a choice,
he doesn't change his mind.
When he joined the Divine Constabulary
I knew he would never come back.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
We can't always get the things we want.
He will never come back again
You know what l say to him?
I know what I can obtain. Thank you for your concern, Mylord.
I hope you don't mind my meddling. - I don't
I'm just sorry I made you worry.
You've been in good mood recently, Mylord.
I think so too.
You can call me Lord Liu in the future.
"Deputy Chief" is a little agressive, a little cliche.
Don't you think?
Lord Liu
As soon as I went in,
I saw Ouyang Da attacking him.
That's why I reacted. But I didn't mean to kill him.
That's right. I was eating at the time.
I just had...
Why would he want to kill?
Zhengwo and I were doing all we could to save him.
Yes I was eating at the time.
I, I, I...
I was asking why he attacked Zhuge Zhengwo!
He was confused...
I was just eating... He was confused...
I was just eating...
Hey! Wait!
I told you to wait!
I can help you take it to him - No
we want to give it to Coldblood ourselves.
Coldblood
we're here to deliver some clothes for Dumpy.
Okay, give them to me.
Clothes for Dumpy? What about me?
Life Snatcher, I'll go back and make you some.
Coldblood
Ji Yaohua would like to talk to you alone.
She's waiting for you at Sun Yang Restaurant.
Now Dumpy can join Department Six.
He looks like a tortoise with that on.
Coldblood is here.
You're here.
You wanted to see me about something?
I need an excuse to invite you to drink tea?
Please have a seat.
It's about the Ouyang Da case.
I know the Divine Constabulary is running the case.
But I have a few things you might like to hear.
Department Six wants to get involved?
We're already involved.
Including Ouyang Da.
there have been three incidents resulting in 11 innocent deaths.
Many were killed by the same weapon.
I don't think it's a coincidence.
Three incidents?
So what does Department Six make of it?
We suspect a link to the murder of a family 12 years ago.
Why do you think that?
Because we can only trace the background of some victims back 12 years.
That means
they almost certainly used to go by other names.
The murder of a family 12 years ago?
Can you be more specific?
The murder of the families of eight officials 12 years ago.
In total, 183 people were killed.
The last family massacred
was your family, the Sheng family.
The gang of twelve who killed the Sheng family
were all killed that same year by Zhuge Zhengwo.
He also rescue you, Emotionless.
But Lord Liu thinks Zhuge Zhengwo is hiding something.
Some of the latest victims were probably members of the gang of twelve.
You suspect this?
It's just a possibility.
It's not like we have a name list for the gang of twelve.
Are there any more "possibilities" that you'd like to tell us about?
I knew Emotionless wouldn't take this information well,
Which why I invited Coldblood.
But you came anyway.
and it would be wrong not not to tell you.
Thank you.
We're leaving.
Good bye
Didn't I say have him come alone?
That's what I told him.
but he insisted on bringing her.
My father, Sheng Dingtian, was a renowned scholar.
Back then. he and other officials had evidence of Minister's Cai corruption.
They were ready to expose him.
but somehow words got out
The families of all the others were killed to silence them.
all the evidence was lost.
My family was the last to be attacked.
It was only because of Zhuge Zhengwo,
who killed the gang of twelve,
that I was saved.
In one night,
32 people lost their lives.
And that night they ruined my legs.
I never let myself remember.
because each time I think back,
the pain is too much.
So don't look back
leave it all in the past.
Zhengwo and I
and Iron Hands have lived together for 12 years.
There is no one I trust more than Zhengwo
I shoudn't listen to those who speak against him.
People are saying
the gang of 12 who killed the Shengs are still alive.
Twelve years ago I personally saw to the deaths of all who harmed your family.
I know.
Who is saying this?
Ji Yaohua.
Maybe she's trying to cause a rift among us.
Might it just be a misunderstanding?
Uncle.
Watch out for her.
Apart from Gao Fu, whose real name was Ouyang Da,
here are Hu Xingyong, Guo Xiang Tian and Yang Cheng,
They appeared to be merchants,
but we suspect these three men
were the "Iron Parasol" Zhang Xu'ao.
the "Soul Collector" Dugu Wei
and the "Wanderer" Sun Bugong.
Identical wounds,
caused by identical weapons.
Zhuge Zhengwo knew all of these people.
They all disappeared 12 years ago.
The exact time of the Sheng family massacre.
Do you suspect Zhengwo?
He himself said that he killed all 12 of the original murderers.
He made his name with that case.
But why has he never made the names of the gang of 12 public?
If these people really were members of the gang of 12,
then Zhuge Zhengwo never solved the case.
Lord Liu
Lord Liu.
If Zhuge Zhengwo really let the murderers of the Sheng family go free,
he may have been working with them.
You're saying...
Zhuge Zhengwo was part of the plot to kill Sheng Yayu's family?
You don't believe it?
It's hard to believe.
But also hard not to believe.
Everyone has secrets
buried in their past.
Sometimes they get dug up.
Do you want to arrest him?
Do we have any leads that take suspicion away from him?
Sir,
you have a thorough knowledge of firearms.
When I was young
the Imperial Arsenal created the Thunderbolt Plough Cannon for me.
But it was too powerful
no one I used it on survived.
I stopped using it years ago.
Where is the Thunderbolt Plough?
I returned it to the court.
That day by the mansion in the forest,
it was you who attacked me with the cannon.
Me?
Yes, you.
You are sure?
You're not mistaken?
I saw you with my own eyes.
Then we have a very strange conundrum.
Where were you at the time of the attack?
While you were all looking for Bell?
I was just leaving Lord Liu.
You didn't leave together?
Okay.
There's something else.
12 years ago, when Yayu's family was massacred.
You said you killed all those responsible.
How could Ouyang Da still be alive?
That...
That I can't tell you.
To dredge up the death of Yayu's family
would do nobody any good.
So,
is Lord Liu investigating this case?
I am.
Give me two days.
and I'll solve the case.
But during this time,
Can you promise me you won't discuss the case with anyone?
Fine.
It's been a long time.
My fellow apprentice
Were you dreaming?
Dreaming about me?
Is this a dream?
Whether it is doesn't matter, You don't need to be afraid.
I told my father I'm in charge of my own death.
it has nothing to do with you.
You really don't need to be afraid
Does your family still make furniture?
Could make me into a bed?
Master.
Don't be afraid.
Very few people have earned the right to drink this.
You are going to take over Department Six.
wait patiently for your orders.
Drink.
Thank you, Lord An.
Don't worry, I will give you antidote every month.
The old man is driven crazy by his love for his son.
The son is driven crazy by his love for you.
l'm not crazy
Yet you take orders from a crazy man?
The orders I listen to are my own.
But if it is to my advantage
I'll take orders from anyone.
You have my advantages at heart
Don't you?
I understand.
You are a good fellow apprentice.
You're like me.
We're both smart women,
and smart women never trust men.
and never trust in love
Because that way we achieve more.
Because that way, we achieve even more.
Zhengwo.
Deputy Chief.
What did you bring me here to talk about?
It's about me.
You?
You're investigating me, aren't you?
So you know.
I've already solved the case for you.
The weapon you used when you were younger.
the Thunderbolt Plough.
There is nothing I can hide from you, Deputy Chief.
I thought you kept it in the Imperial Archives.
I haven't used it for a long time.
but I've been thinking of using it again.
Zhengwo.
my ability to read minds is getting weaker.
That means you're getting more friends.
The more people you care about
It's a good thing.
A woodcutter saw Zhuge Zhengwo that afternoon in the pavilion.
The killer was Zhuge Zhengwo!
What?
When the Deputy Chief left
he said he was meeting with Zhuge Zhengwo.
That's right.
We were planning to go with him.
but he said Zhuge Zhengwo was his friend.
They must have wanted to discuss something secret.
That's why we didn't go with him.
It wouldn't have made a difference.
Against such a powerful opponent.
You'd have lost your lives for nothing.
Life Snatcher.
We just came back from the arsenal.
There used to be two of these cannons there.
Was this the murder weapon?
This is the only one left.
It's called the Thunderbolt Plough.
Zhuge Zhengwo used to be responsible for it.
as the King's Chief Bodyguard.
Lord Liu has been looking for it. as the King's Chief Bodyguard.
Lord Liu has been looking for it.
We should go arrest Zhuge Zhengwo.
Wait.
You're protecting the Divine Constabulary.
Do you know who will be most upset by this?
The Divine Constable Cold Blood
Lord Liu adopted him and raised him.
Even his name, Leng Lingqi, came from Lord Liu.
Do you understand?
Hey! Don't move the body.
Zhuge Zhengwo!
Mr. Zhuge isn't here.
Come out.
Zhuge Zhengwo!
Come out!
Hey!
Are you crazy?
We know something happened to the Deputy Chief.
Mr. Zhuge has asked Duke Westgate to investigate the scene.
He wanted us to wait for you so we could go together.
Why do we need to look for clues?
Zhuge Zhengwo killed him!
That's not possible.
We have proof.
Coldblood.
Who is the Duke Westgate?
He goes now by the name Zhang Yiwan.
Zhang Yiwan from the Bulging Pockets Casino?
Another assumed name...
Let's go together.
Duke Westlake,
You won't need your weapons for this.
So you killed the Deputy Chief and now you're here for me?
You're wrong.
I don't think I am.
Back then, when I agreed to kill the Sheng family,
I knew I was taking a gamble.
I never imagined I would kill them.
and yet still somehow lose the bet.
l'm really so unlucky.
I finally managed to settle down and enjoy life.
but you won't even let me have that.
I didn't want to kill you.
You earned your reputation on our back.
I can understand you'd be willing to kill us to silence us.
Helpers are here.
Coldblood, don't attack him yet!
You hypocrite!
You're all that's left of the miserable Sheng family?
Zhuge Zhengwo killed us to help you take revenge?
Are you the man who killed my family?
And I regret that I only broke your legs!
We should have killed you.
You attacked a suspect before you questioned him!
Are you constables or assassins?
Yayu.
What are you doing?
I trust him.
Why is he still alive?
What else are you lying to me about?
Where are the other killers?
Zhang Yiwan informed us that Zhuge Zhengwo had asked to see him.
He said Zhuge Zhengwo wanted to kill him to silence him.
It's a shame we arrived too late.
I came to get the truth about Lord Liu's murder.
but it seems Miss Ji has reached her conclusion.
Even if I don't arrest you,
do you think the rest of my people will let you go?
He is the man who murdered Lord Liu.
No way!
Iron Hands!
we don't want anymore trouble.
Report this to the prince right away.
Miss Ji, I'll go with you.
Emotionless,
You killed that man
so you come with us too.
Lord! We found something.
We found these in the Deputy Chief's belt.
They're poisoned.
Poison? Those aren't Deputy Chief's.
He never used poison.
Find out where they come from.
Yes.
Congratulations, Yaohua.
The Deputy Chief is dead.
And soon you'll be in charge of Department Six.
You should leave here as soon as possible.
I'm not joking.
And what about you?
I don't have any other choice.
Yaohua, I want to stay with you.
Butterfly once told me the same thing.
and she ended up dying in my arms.
I don't want that happening to you.
Don't worry, Yaohua.
We'll all be fine.
You're very good to them.
And I admire that!
Lord An doesn't trust you.
he wanted me to test your loyalty.
Don't worry Miss Ji.
I know exactly what to tell him.
Haven't Zhuge Zhengwo and the rest already been locked up?
He couldn't have killed the Deputy Chief.
Don't say that.
Our plans have changed,
do you understand?
Mr. Zhuge , I'm sorry
For security reasons,
I have no choice but to keep you in Iron Blood Prison.
Emotionless's qi is so strong.
that we have to use needles on her acupuncture points.
to prevent her using it.
There's no other way. I'm sorry about this.
Shigeng, the man who did this to you is locked in Iron Blood Prison.
Sir, Aunt Poise is here to see you.
You're here.
We must really thank Miss Ji.
I should thank her for putting you in there?
Did she really need to lock you up?
People like me
have to be locked up like this.
Why did you never talk about these things before?
Some things are better not to know.
How many secrets are you still hiding from me?
Anything concerning you personally,
I've never kept hiding from you.
What about things concerning Yayu?
I can't tell you!
Why can't you?
I just can't.
Did you kill the Deputy Chief and those others?
I didn't kill them.
Then why don't you tell everybody?
I'm still hoping I'm wrong in my suspicion of who the real killer is.
Who are you trying to protect?
l just can't tell you.
There are some things I can't change.
I just have to face them.
I'm waiting.
You're just waiting for death.
Yayu...
Can't you say something?
Even just swear at me?
I didn't want to hide from you what was happening with Zhuge Zhengwo.
there were just too many things I didn't know.
I understand he's very important to you.
and he's just as important to me.
But the Deputy Chief's death
proves he's not the person we though he was.
He was hiding too many secrets.
Coldblood,
your time is up.
You need to go.
Zhuge Zhengwo is in prison
and we won't see any more trouble from the Divine Constabulary.
Lord An's triumph is at hand.
The next step
is up to you.
I await your orders, Lord An.
Kill Emotionless!
Such a trifling little girl?
It's just because she's just a trifling little girl
that the King can't show her mercy.
It could create trouble in the future.
It could lead to the whole court losing faith in him.
Yes
but I'm going to kill someone.
I need a reason.
You're a powerful minister.
I'm sure you'll find a way.
Yes.
Come back.
When we meet in the future,
We'll meet somewhere else.
If he's seen with you too often,
It could damage the An family's reputation.
Yes
Without me, you all would be nothing.
This is so heavy!
You're useless! Let me do it.
No I can't move it.
It's too heavy! It's too heavy!
You should just forget about it.
Yes, Yes! Forget about it.
{Divine Constabulary]
What are you doing?
I am... just...
Stop it ! I am... just...
Stop it !
Is this still the Divine Constabulary?
The Divine Constabulary helps people!
You handle the hardest cases.
and stop the worst criminals.
Divine Constabulary members have been framed and imprisoned.
and you just wait here doing nothing!
The case has already been solved.
Mr. Zhuge didn't kill anyone!
Coldblood,
you have no right to speak.
You were scheming against the Divine Constabulary from the start.
You've already arrested Mr. Zhuge.
so your task is finished.
Zhuge Zhengwo killed the Deputy Chief.
Did Ji Yaohua tell you that?
You actually believe what she tells you?
Yayu was arrested too,
so now you can go back to Department Six.
and be with your Ji Yaohua.
What are you still doing here?
I can burn the Divine Constabulary sign myself.
I won't wait for Department Six to tear it down.
It's true there are many questions Zhengwo needs to answer.
So why don't you check things out?
What kind of colleagues are you?
What kind of friends are you?
Aunt Poise.
there is no use talking to people like him.
He's convinced Zhengwo is the killer. He...
Between the Deputy Chief and Zhuge Zhengwo,
Who is the better fighter?
Big Wolf, Bell, come and help me. Who is the better fighter?
I don't have time to talk to people like him.
Who is the better fighter?
He was never really one of us! Who is the better fighter?
Aunt Poise. Who is the better fighter?
it's not as bad as it seems.
Who is the better fighter? Maybe Coldblood will go with us to examine around the stone tablets.
Who is the better fighter?
Okay? Who is the better fighter?
Okay. Who is the better fighter?
They are about the same.
I'd say Zhuge Zhengwo was a little better.
But why would he need to use the Thunderbolt Plough?
That's his most powerful weapon.
Was he afraid of losing?
Was he even afraid of losing to Ouyang Da and the others?
He did not even deal with them Ouyang Da
He used the most powerful weapon
and failed to hit him the first time.
With the most powerful weapon
The second time he fired,
the Deputy Chief was already down.
That seems like overkill.
You can shoot someone lying down.
That's not Zhengwo's style.
I agree it doesn't seem like him.
But someone said they saw him that day.
How can we explain that?
Is there anything else that looks suspicious?
Department Six said they found
three strange needles on the Deputy Chief's belt.
Strange needles?
You said that Zhuge Zhenwo was acting like a totally different person.
If he wasn't acting like a different person, he wouldn't have killed the Deputy Chief.
Could it have been an imposter?
Are you looking for excuses
or for evidence?
You were quick to decide he was the killer.
and you won't consider anything else.
Do you remember the day I was injured?
He was the one who fired the weapon that did it.
Zhuge Whengwo.
I saw him with my own eyes.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
He told me to wait.
he said he would explain everything.
I believe him.
I waited, I waited.
I kept on waiting...
If I hadn't, perhaps the Deputy Chief would be still alive.
Where is the Deputy Chief's sword?
What sword?
Someone used a sword here.
This must have been made by a sword.
Deputy Chief didn't carry a sword.
And Zhuge never use one.
The sword and the poisoned needles must belong to the killer.
I knew it.
You're not Zhuge Zhengwo.
Was all this a part of your plan?
This can't be just about framing Zhuge Whengwo!
You don't get to know the truth.
I know there are doubts about this case.
but we need the Prince to report to the King before it is settled.
You don't trust Coldblood?
This has nothing to do with trust.
This is a question of duty.
They'll stay locked in there forever, right?
And if the Prince doesn't meet the King They'll stay locked in there forever, right?
Your Highness!
The Prince is here.
Your Highness!
Miss Ji.
these are His Majesty's private orders
Please acknowledge them
Your Highness, Zhuge Zhengwo
Don't worry.
I'll deal with everything here.
Go back to Divine Constabulary and wait for orders.
Firefly, Cicada, show them the way out.
Yes
Your Highness
We'll be leaving then.
You don't need to worry this time.
Yes, the Prince will deal with everything.
I'm not worried at all.
Hey! I took this.
Do you want to see those private orders?
Your Highness,
You want to move straight to punishment without a trial?
Your Highness.
Miss Ji.
Yes
In some matters the court
finds it expedient to give orders
and expects obedience
You don't need to be part of this.
I'll deal with everything.
Sheng Yayu,
I have the King's orders
for your execution.
Open the door!
Who are you?
You saw through it!
These orders come from Minister Cai, not the King.
I made these leg support crutches for you.
Come with me.
Go!
This way
You'll get in trouble.
Get out of here.
It's like a maze here. You'll never get out.
Come with me.
Let's go.
You need to be sure of how you're going to kill Emotionless.
Sheng Yayu escaped!
Get her now!
You
Go check on Zhuge Zhengwo!
Come with me.
Let's go.
How does this work?
You've never seen this before.
It's serious stuff.
Catch
Run!
What?
Run!
Hey!
Go!
Get up there!
Life Snatcher!
Be careful, Ding Dong!
Life Snatcher!
Are you okay ?
Help me look for them.
Okay! Let's go!
Sir, it's this way.
You find Mr. Zhuge.
I'll look for Yayu.
Stop!
Don't run!
So a jail break?
I'm sorry.
Yayu?
The Prince?
Did you kill her?
Emotionless is fine.
Iron Hands rescued her.
The Prince is an imposter.
someone who knows how to shapeshift.
That must be the one who killed the Deputy Chief.
They're probably also part of the plot to rescue Emotionless.
May also be They're probably also part of the plot to rescue Emotionless.
May also be
No way.
l don't care
No one can escape this place.
Please tell Emotionless for me
escaping jail is a capital crime.
The same goes for those who help her.
Firefly!
Where have you been?
It's a woman
Zhuge Zhengwo is just up there.
I'll go and distract them.
Okay
What are you looking at?
Go and patrol! What are you looking at?
Go and patrol!
Okay, go!
You've got some nerve!
My friend, I don't want to hurt you.
Still want to fight?
Sir, the Prince is carrying secret orders from her Majesty to execute Emotionless.
Are you all right, Sir?
What kind of locks are these?
They are mechanical locks
Once the alarm sounds, they can't be opened.
Ridiculous.
There's no such things as a lock that can't be opened.
Get out of the way. There's no such things as a lock that can't be opened.
Can you pull the needles on Zhengwo's acupuncture points from outside the door?
Do I look like Emotionless?
l'll give it a try
No, it's way too hard...
What are you doing ?
Help me! Lend me some qi!
Move it!
Come on!
l'll count one two three
One! Two! Three!
Got it! How many more are there?
Thirty-six
Get out of the way.
Why is you face so red?
Get them!
Let's go!
Don't run!
Stop right there!
Get them! Stop right there!
Who are you ?
It's a woman?
What's going on?
How can it be?
She is the one who killed Deputy Chief..
Get her!
Yes!
Don't move!
The Divine Constabulary has come to break them out of jail.
Arrest the lot of them!
Emotionless!
Yayu
Iron Hands told me,
only someone with a lot of qi can ignite the fuse.
Get back!
Further!
Pah!
Oh no!
Pah!
Bell, did you put the fuse in right?
Let's go!
Wait, put this on,
Go!
Come on, let's go!
What are you doing?
If you decide to run,
It's not just a crime you're committing If you decide to run,
It's not just a crime you're committing
They'll disband the Divine Constabulary
Emotionless
are you that cruel?
Yayu.
The Prince is an imposter!
His Majesty will set you free.
Don't try to break out of jail.
I'm the daughter of Sheng Dingtian,
the sister of Sheng Yanshi,
don't you understand?
I need to take my revenge.
There are people out there I still need to kill
You'll get the death penalty.
Don't go!
I'm sorry.
Let's go now!
How did we end up back here?
I arranged everyone to meet here.
why did you choose this place?
When will they get here?
Yayu,
do you really mean you don't remember this place at all?
Slow down, slow down.
Be careful
This little girl... really
Yayu -Mom
Come here
Don't run
Mom, why are we hiding?
Hiding?
You silly girl.
we're not hiding.
You said you were bored just staying at home all day.
That's why we took you out to play. You said you were bored just staying at home all day.
That's why we took you out to play.
You're not happy?
Yes.
And I have more time with you.
We''ll go play in the hills and the water.
It'll be fun.
Where do you want to play?
Xiuyi!
Mom! Xiuyi!
Mom!
Dingtian, did you betray those people?
I did nothing wrong!
l have nothing to be ashamed of!
The 12 men who killed your family were Tombstone Sima
Duke Westgate
Blood Phoenix
Wusheng East, Wusheng West,
Zhang Xu'ao, Dugu Wei
Sun Bugong, Moji Sansan
and Ouyang Da.
The final member was Kong Balang.
Later he changed his name to Tie Youxia.
l ...
was one of the twelve.
What are you talking about ?
Everything has been a great misunderstanding
After Lord Liu died,
Zhuge reported all that had happened to His Majesty.
he couldn't have killed someone at the same time.
The person who killed Lord Liu
must be that woman you caught.
I have already reported to His Majesty.
He has pardoned everyone for any crime committed.
and restored the Divine Constabulary to their posts.
All cases related to this,
except for the death of Lord Liu, will be dropped.
Do not pursue
Miss Sheng, you are no longer a criminal.
You're not a criminal
Some of the gang of 12 are still alive?
Exterminate them all.
Don't leave a single one alive.
She's Sheng Dingtian's daughter.
why are you protecting her?
Hey! The girl is innocent.
Don't touch her!
You did not kill them ?
Things aren't quite as they appear.
They killed 32 members of my family
and you didn't help me take revenge?
Yayu.
You've loved me since I was little?
You always indulge me
Was that because you were ashamed?
All 32 members of my family
Who did you kill?
Tell me! Who did you kill?
Tell me!
- Yayu, - And there's you!
l took the decision back then.
Prince..
The truth is brutal
but she will never let this go
unless she's told the truth
12 years ago there were eight honest officials.
They were ready to impeach the corrupt Minister Cai.
One of them leaked the news.
He not only failed to present the evidence to His Majesty,
but also tipped off Minister Cai.
In one night,
183 people from 7 families were assassinated.
Only one family was left unharmed.
Your father's
the scholar Sheng Dingtian's family.
The identity of the traitor
was obvious.
Could we let the deaths of 183 people go unpunished?
Iron Hands' entire family was killed.
Was he wrong to take revenge?
My father was a loyal official.
You told me my father was killed by traitors.
You told me
Or you were lying to me ?
Didn't you tell me you'd never lie to me?
And my mother?
My little brother?
Were all 32 members of my family...
Traitors?
It was wrong to kill your family. Traitors?
It was wrong to kill your family.
The king regrets it.
and sent me to prevent it.
But it was already too late.
That's what really happened.
It was our great King who
when he heard that Iron Hands saved you
give him a pardon. He also pardoned you.
How wonderfully gracious of his Majesty!
Don't !
l knew this moment would come eventually.
I always wanted to tell you the truth.
but the time was never right.
Don't come closer!
Yayu, calm down.
You are not afraid of me?
I'm Sheng Dingtian's daughter!
What does that matter? I'm Sheng Dingtian's daughter!
What does that matter?
You're just the same as them,
you've all been lying to me.
Or are you, like them
doing everything just for me?
Whether you thank them or take revenge on them, I'll stand with you.
l'll just say this to you:
Iron Hands was the man who saved your life.
You couldn't kill Minister Cai
but you could kill my whole family.
If I'm innocent
then I'd ask you to let me go, Sir.
Thank you for all the kindness you've shown me.
l beg you
Do not follow me
You got what you wanted and you're still not happy?
I'm not sure why,
but I don't feel so happy
lt seems getting what we want
and happiness aren't so related.
