Lady Chor, you really look very ill
Tsui-chuk has told us the truth
Why should I deceive you?
It's because you know it's impossible for you to hold back something from us anymore
What's it?
You were the one who killed Lady Tsun and her baby
Don't slander me. Lady Tsun and I were like sisters. Why should I kill her?
Stop feigning ignorance We've asked Tsui-chuk already
You were upset because Her Majesty had given a gold hairpin to Lady Tsun as a gift
Jealousy is human nature. So what?
It's the motive for the murder
You were jealous so you killed her
Someone had told Her Majesty that
when you and Lady Tsun were in Fangzhou
you two were constantly fighting for Prince Lo Ling's favors
As that might make Prince Lo Ling unable to focus on his medical studies
Her Majesty was forced to summon you two to the palace
Now Lady Tsun was murdered. Of course you'II become the prime suspect
Besides, Lady Tsun was conceiving a royal descendant
It'd be only natural for you to hate her more
So you asked her to meet you in the 100 Flower Pavilion and you killed her there
Then you tried to make others believe that her drowning was the result of an accident
Shut up! Nonsense!
I didn't kill Lady Tsun. I didn't kill anyone. I didn't kill anyone
All of you are trying to frame me
I won't let you do it. Leave...
Get lost!
Lady Chor... Shut up! Get lost!
Go away, the lot of you! Get lost!
Who's it?
General Mo, how come you're here?
Stop it!
Take care of her Yes...
We must inform Scholar Sheung Koon about it
Prince Ngai's Mansion
Who're you? We don't welcome visitors at this time of night
I'm Tik Yan-kit. Her Majesty has authorized me to arrest Mo Yin-ming
You got Her Majesty's authorization? Proof?
Since it's urgent, I'll show you the papers later
In that case, please come again later
You're very disrespectful. I must arrest him tonight. Step back
Sorry, I can't let you go inside
We'II force an entry
Dad...
Your Highness
I thought you'd forgotten who I am
Your Highness, sorry for disturbing you at this time of night
Whether I'II accept your apology depends on your reason for coming here
I've found the person who killed Lady Tsun
The murderer is Mo Yin-ming
Ridiculous! How come my son is a murderer?
Tik Yan-kit, it's both an insult and a vicious slander
You and your daughter came into my house at night with weapons
I'm sure you're hatching up a sinister plot
Guards, arrest Tik Yan-kit for me
If anyone has the nerve to touch even a hair of my dad
don't blame me and my sword for being ruthless
Your Honor...
Don't act rashly without my consent
Tik Yan-kit, you keep insisting that Yin-ming had killed a person
Have you got any evidence?
I've been suspecting for a long time that General Mo is the one who killed Lady Tsun
I expect that he would become unscrupulous in order to cover up his wicked wrongdoings
so I've designed a plot to draw the snake out of its hole
He'd really put his head into my noose
He went into Lady Chor's court of residence tonight and knocked her out
He tried to make others believe that she wanted to kill herself to escape punishment
It's true I did go to Lady Chor's court of residence
In order to make her confess, I tried to trick her and make her scared
Minister Tik, you've been mistaken about me
Minister Tik, you've heard it?
Yin-ming just wanted to solve the crime
He had no intention to kill anyone
You mustn't speak casually without thinking
You need evidence to support your allegation
You need evidence? I'II give you the evidence
During the flower appreciation feast I've checked the pulse of Lady Tsun
Her pulse was strong but not too smooth
It was a sign that she was 2 months pregnant
If she were 4 months pregnant
her pulse would be as smooth as beads running in a bowl
Lady Tsun had returned to the palace for 3 months but she was 2 months pregnant
The baby she was conceiving was a sinful species instead of a dragon species
She must've committed adultery
Why did Dr. Suen tell lies? It's because someone had bought him off
When Lady Tsun blacked out that day
General Mo was the person who escorted her back to her court of residence
Then Dr. Suen went to give her a checkup
so General Mo was the only person there who could buy off the doctor
I've also interrogated Tsui-lin
According to her testimony
she'd seen Lady Tsun holding the silk handkerchief the night before she died
The dead body of Lady Tsun was found floating in the lake the next day
We not only found blood stain on the column of the 100 Flower Pavilion
but we also found Lady Tsun's handkerchief
I remember this handkerchief belongs to Lady Tsun
It's reasonable to infer that
Lady Tsun had seen someone in the 100 Flower Pavilion the night before she died
It was the place where she met her doom
Finally, I've found a mark of a ring underneath a table in the pavilion
My investigation shows that the table was painted around shenshi (3 to 5 pm)
Since it was the day of the Spring Equinox
the weather was humid and the paint was still wet in the early hours
The murderer wasn't aware of it and carelessly left a mark of his ring there
The mark of the ring is exactly that of the 'Perfect Conjugal Bliss' ring
The ring was crafted by my wife and it's the only one of its kind
After it was crafted, it was given to Her Majesty
Then Her Majesty gave it to General Mo as a gift
After I've put together all the clues
I'm sure General Mo is the one who murdered Lady Tsun
You might've asked your wife to make another ring
Then you used it to produce the mark underneath the table
You fabricated evidence to frame me
What you said is complete nonsense. We should let Her Majesty decide who's right
No one can take him away without my consent
Stop it!
This imperial robe is a gift from Her Majesty
When the robe is shown, it's the same as seeing Her Majesty
All of you should kneel down right now
Are you defying Her Majesty?
Ching-luen...
Mo Yin-ming is guilty of killing 2 lives and his wrongdoings are unforgivable
It won't help even he's got a robe given by Her Majesty
I must handle this matter according to law and arrest him
Tik Yan-kit, how dare you defy Her Majesty!
Behead him for me Dream on!
Stop it, the lot of you!
Her Majesty orders
Minister Tik, General Mo and Prince Ngai to attend an audience with her
The Grand Hall of the Palace
Your Majesty
Dr. Suen had made a confession and he's now remanded in custody
Mo Yin-ming Your Majesty
On the night of the 15th day of the Second Moon
how come new paint was stuck to the 'Perfect Conjugal Bliss' ring?
What on earth had happened? You'd better make a clean breast of it
My crime deserves myriad deaths
When Lady Tsun's pregnancy was confirmed
I was forced to meet her in the 100 Flower Pavilion at zishi (11 pm to 1 am)...
You've shown up finally
I got to spend some time in getting this bottle of stuff
You still have the mood to drink?
It's not wine inside. It's drugs
Her Majesty has known you're pregnant
We can't hold back our affair for too long so everything between us has to be finished
The drugs inside will induce miscarriage?
Drink it tonight and the pain will last for 4 to 6 hours only
We can save our skin once you've got rid of the sinful species
It's not a sinful species. It's our baby Our baby will greet us as dad and mom
If Dr. Suen hadn't helped us
we two would've been beheaded a long time ago
Don't fancy the baby has any chance
of greeting us as dad and mom or even wailing just once
We can run away
What?
I give up my title as Lady Tsun and you give us your title as General Mo
We and our baby will run away. We'II lead an ordinary life under an assumed name
The world is big. Her Majesty can't find us
It's absurd. When Her Majesty finds out that you and I are having an affair
both my family and yours will be punished
Both you and I can't afford to let it happen
Drink it tonight
All troubles end when the main trouble ends. We have no choice
Wrong. You just don't want to pick it
You said you cared about our families
You were just looking for excuses
You don't want to let go of glory, splendor, wealth and rank
You just don't want to let go of high position and fat emoluments
I don't want to argue with you anymore
To put it in a nutshell, you must take the drugs and get rid of the baby
No way! I won't kill my baby
Either you run away with me
or I'II tell Her Majesty that we have had an affair
I want you to meet your doom with me
You're out of your mind?
Hands off or I'll shout
Lady Tsun... Lady Tsun...
Lady Tsun...
I dumped her in the lake and tried to make her death appear to be an accident
I'm remorseful now. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to turn over a new leaf
I've devoted all my attention to help advance your career
Then you'd done something so injurious to public morals
But you weren't remorseful and even killed Lady Tsun and framed Lady Chor
You've committed the most heinous crimes
Your Majesty, though Yin-ming has committed the most heinous crimes
I beg Your Majesty to take into consideration that he's young and naive
He'd committed the crimes in a thoughtless moment so spare his life
Send him into exile and I'm willing to go into exile with him
I beg Your Majesty to let him off...
Your Majesty, Mo Yin-ming had committed adultery at first
Then he killed Lady Tsun to prevent divulgence of his secrets
Though he knew his wrongdoings were uncovered, he was still not remorseful
To safe his skin, he laid murderous hands on Lady Chor and shifted the blame on her
His heart is contemptible His behavior is shameless
It's intolerable injustice. A light sentence is inappropriate
Your Majesty, you must think thrice
Your Majesty, you must think thrice...
Your Majesty Silence!
Mo Yin-ming has committed heinous crimes so lock him up and execute him tomorrow
Guards...
Your Majesty, my son had committed a murder. Death sentence is his just deserts
But Tik Yan-kit had ignored Your Majesty's imperial robe
It was an insult to Your Majesty so he's also guilty of a punishable crime
He should be punished
Minister Tik, is it true?
Yes, Your Majesty
If it's true, I'II certainly deal with it
But I'm very tired already The audience will adjourn
Stand!
Mom
Bro... Yin-tak...
Dad...
Rescue me, please. I'm remorseful
Rescue me, please
Dad, say something Go and talk to Her Majesty
She's your aunt. She won't be so merciless
I don't want to die. I really don't want to die
I want to rescue you but I just don't know how to do it
Once Her Majesty has opened her mouth don't expect there's something we can do
Her Majesty treats you as her own son
She'II listen to you
Dad, you're the only person who can save my life
She deposed the emperor just because the emperor had made an indiscreet remark
You think Her Majesty will listen to me and let you off?
Bro... Son...
I'm leading an affluent life I have even an army. So what?
I can't save my son's head I'm really ashamed of myself
Dad, don't get too upset
It's not your fault. I have only myself to blame
From time immemorial to the present lust is always the cause of misfortune
I'd taken leave of my senses. I can't blame others for what will happen to me
Lady Tsun deserved to be killed. But the most wicked person is Tik Yan-kit
If it hadn't been him, nothing like this would've happened today
Now my son will die because of him I swear he'II pay me 10 times for it
Yin-ming, you must remember you're the eldest son in the family
You're my most beloved son too
No one in our family will yield to anyone even at the cost of one's life
We're always proud even in the face of an imminent death
We're proud no matter we're alive or dead
I'II ask someone to help you dress up
so even you die, you'II die with respect
Dad, I'm very frightened
I'II pave your way to the netherworld
Rest assured I'II keep an eye on you wherever you are
There's no exception even in the Palace of Hell
Bro, dad has asked the servant to cook you this dish of 'Bon Voyage'
Bon Voyage? Dad wants me to have a safe trip on the road to the netherworld
I've finished the dish of 'Bon Voyage'
It's time I set off for the netherworld
Bro...
After I've gone, you must take care of dad and mom for me. You must help dad
You must be a good son
Seek revenge on my behalf, understand?
Bro... I swear I'II do it
Son, I won't let you die without avail
I'II make sure everyone in Tik Yan-kit's family will die a tragic death
It's the time of wushi (11 am to 1 pm) Execute prisoner Mo Yin-ming without delay!
Yin-ming...
I'II seek revenge on your behalf I must chop off Tik Yan-kit's head
Everyone's not eating. What's up?
Our appetite is spoiled. Dad you didn't intend to be disrespectful
You hadn't got any choice
It wasn't easy for you to solve the crime
It turned out that you were punished and no credit was given to you
When the imperial robe is shown it's the same as Her Majesty is present
Considering what your dad did this time he might've been beheaded as a result
Now he's lucky he was just demoted
It appears Her Majesty just tried to ease off Prince Ngai's grievance
She didn't intend to punish your dad
We must live quite frugally in future
I think your salary will be suspended for half a year, right?
Mom, I appreciate your understanding
It's that Prince Ngai again! Actually Mo Yin-ming had only himself to blame
Dad was just carrying out his duty impartially
Forget it, sis. It's not dad's first demotion
He got one promotion in 3 years and one demotion in 2 years. We're used to it
Dad, I won't buy new books and have new dress made this year
Good boy!
We'II grow vegetables ourselves. The taste will be even sweeter and yummier
It's just half a year. It's not too long
Luo County is still close to the Capital
Actually, Her Majesty still thinks highly of Old Master
Her Majesty has been very considerate I wonder why we still have to feel worried
To celebrate it, we each will eat 3 bowls of rice tonight
Great!
Dad has cooked many dishes today. We must finish them off
Step aside...
We have a new magistrate?
I think his name is Tik Yan-kit. He should've been a minister in the Capital
But I've heard it said that he'd done something wrong and was demoted
A lot of things have happened in the palace recently
Lady Tsun had died not too long ago
Then General Mo, the eldest son of Prince Ngai
had committed a capital offence and was sentenced to death
People told me that Prince Ngai had attributed his son's death to Minister Tik
so he made a complaint against Minister Tik in front of Her Majesty
Only a moron has the guts to displease Prince Ngai
He knows nothing of the state of affairs
I'm Cheung Biu, the Head of Guards I've come here to greet Your Honor. Welcome
I wonder if the seedlings have arrived
Your Honor, they'd arrived yesterday
We must distribute them to the farmers right away
You think you have the say
in deciding when and how the seedlings are to be distributed?
How do you do, Your Highnesses?
How come it's so noisy here? I couldn't hear what someone was saying
How do you do, Your Highnesses?
Oh, Minister Tik was greeting me!
We've known each other for a long time Skip the formalities. Don't be too serious
I didn't expect your present uniform looks better than the one you wore in the court
Really? What type of uniform I'll wear is no big deal
It's OK as long as I can serve the community and the people
Wrong!
Everyone should confine himself to his own duties
I'm responsible for distributing the seedlings
I wonder why someone was going to do it without my consent
It was my fault. As the sky had gone dark and it was going to pour with rain
I'd like to shorten the farmer's time of waiting
When will you distribute the seedlings?
We've been waiting for ages
We're tired... We still have to wait?
Calm down, everyone
Her Majesty has instructed me to distribute the seedlings
The snowstorm in mid-spring will certainly affect your harvest in future
Her Majesty is benevolent so new seedlings will be distributed to you
But the most important thing is you must live by the sweat of your brows
Don't disappoint Her Majesty
Great! You're really a good government minister
Dad, have some tea
How come you're here? Where's your mom?
Mom knows you've to read many documents
so she asks me to come here to brew you some tea. She says tea is refreshing
Your mom is very thoughtful
She's a role model for you
You'll get married one day You must learn to be a good wife
I'd better learn from you. No matter what happens, you can always laugh it off
What're you driving it?
When I was on my way here, I heard people praising Prince Ngai's benevolence
He's stealing your thunder
It's OK as long as I can serve Her Majesty and the people
It seems you don't just come here to brew tea for me?
I'd like to be your assistant. If you were Her Majesty, I'd be Scholar Sheung Koon
You compare me to Her Majesty? I think you'd like me to be beheaded!
Besides, you compare yourself to Scholar Sheung Koon. You're really too conceited
Dad, you're teasing me I'm really no match for her?
Absolutely!
Your Honor Why is it so noisy outside?
Someone outside is beating the yamen drum
He's suing his wife for attempting to murder him
Let me check your wound
Ho Yee-ka
Yes, Your Honor
You said you were staying in a casino overnight. Any eyewitness?
Your Honor, I was so involved in gambling that I don't know if someone had spotted me
Your Honor, she wounded me with a knife. Lock her up, please
It's true I'm a gambling addict
but I didn't have the guts to hurt others with a knife
I don't understand why you slander me?
Right, why do you slander her?
Your... Your Honor, I... I didn't lie
You said Ho Yee-ka had wounded your left hand last night
But I've just checked your wound. The wound is fresh. It's still red and swollen
You should've been wounded this morning
There's also a trace of blood between the thumb and index finger of your right hand
If my guess is right, you stabbed your left hand yourself
You carelessly cut the part of the right hand between the thumb and the index finger
OK, I got it
Why do you bring a false charge against me?
Cheung Tung, it seems you're not good at lying
Why do you bring a false charge against your wife by wounding yourself?
Your Honor, I'm remorseful now
Actually, I love my wife very much
But she's become a gambling addict
So I thought of using the ruse of inflicting an injury on myself
to convince Your Honor to lock her up so she wouldn't be able to gamble again
That's what you were thinking in your mind?
I don't want you to gamble night and day
Cheung Tung, you're guilty of bringing a false charge against others
I'II now maim your legs
Ho Yee-ka, you're a gambling addict It's not the right thing a woman should do
I'm maim your hands as a punishment
Your Honor, let me off, please
Your Honor, I should be held responsible for what happened
I'd like to be punished on my wife's behalf
Your Honor... maim my arms and legs, please
Don't be silly
Yes, I'm silly. I didn't want you to gamble so I made up such a story
I should reap what I sowed. You shouldn't be the one who takes the blame
It's my fault. If I hadn't gambled nothing like this would've happened
Your Honor, I beg you not to punish my husband
Maim my limbs. Punish me, please
Your Honor, punish me, please
Punish me, Your Honor... Punish me, Your Honor...
OK, since you cherish each other so much, I'II now punish both of you
You'll go to jail
but it's not the jail in the yamen
You'll lock yourselves up at home
Ho Yee-ka, you'll never gamble or go into a casino again
You will not leave your home for 1 month
so you can look after your husband until his hands are recovered
Do you understand?
Yes, Your Honor I got it, Your Honor
Thank you... Thank you, Your Honor...
Place your bets... The higher the stakes, the more you'll win...
The casino has nice decor and setup The East Capital is really very classy
Don't leave! You're afraid you can't keep your winnings?
I'II tell you the answer now...
It's 7 inches. I've said I'm big. You just didn't trust me. Banker wins all!
We got all sorts of gambling but you just enjoy putting a bet on weird things
It's boring to play those offered by the casino
I want to be the banker. It's OK as long as people are willing to place their bets
OK, we'll place our bets on...
Whether this woman's age is odd or even numbers
Great...
I'm afraid she's 28
No, there're wrinkles near her eyes. 30
No, 29
No, 30 She appears to be 36
36?
Don't be angry. You just tell us if your age is odd or even numbers
You'll get 10 per cent of the winnings
As you appear to be here for the first time, I'll let you make a small fortune
Thank you. You're really very nice!
Don't mention it. I'm sure you want to win some money when you come here
You're in luck that you've run into me
You're the boss of this casino?
No, I'm one of the clients
The boss is over there
OK, it's odd numbers on my left and even numbers on my right. Place your bets
Even numbers...
You've all placed your bets. OK I'm the banker and I'll take a guess
I think this woman is...
40, even numbers
40?
There're blue veins on your forehead and wrinkles near your eyebrows
There's a red glow on your face It's a sign of poor physical condition
You and my mother are similar
My mother is 50 and your skin is a little bit better than hers
You must be at least 40. Even numbers
Even numbers...
Hey! Odd or even numbers? Tell us the answer. Hurry up!
Yes... Don't waste time... Hurry up...
Don't lie to us. If you lie you can't get a husband in future
Hurry up...
The even numbers win!
I'm right. I've said you're 40
I said it's even numbers but I didn't say I'm 40 years old
It's OK as long as I win Hey!
The cops are around the corner
What should we do now?
Don't panic. I'll show you the secret exit
I guarantee everyone can leave safely. Follow me
Let's leave... Help me take my money
Let's leave... Easy does it... Be careful...
Be careful... Be careful... The main street is just ahead
Be careful...
Young Master, this way, please
Young Master?
Is there any difference?
It's main street there but it's closer to Ying Heung House here
I'm a bit hungry. It's time to go and have a drink
Stop there!
Hey! Don't be so impolite
Don't stay here any longer. The cops are coming. You're not scared?
You're very scared?
Anyone caught running a casino will be sent to a distant place for penal servitude
Young Master, she seems to work for the cops
It's too late for you to find it out. You're under arrest
Grab me if you can
I'II hit you even you're a woman
You... Young Master, let's leave...
Mom, which one do you like? I'II use it to make a hairpin for you
Great
The white lychee crystal is touched with red
Ching-luen's complexion was like this when she was a kid
Her skin was even whiter than snow. It made people have tender affection for her
Ching-luen was so pretty when she was a kid? I can't remember it
Young Mistress... Young Mistress...
Ching-luen... What's up, dad?
Come over here. Grandma has picked a piece of stone. She needs your advice
Right, tell me if you like it
It's very beautiful
Stand there!
The lychee crystal has become a blue stone
Oh, there're gray and blue patches all over it
Grandma, I was too careless I didn't know my face is dirty
I'II go and wash my face
How? You'll use medicinal liquor or powder that removes blood stasis?
Grandma...
You had a fight with someone again?
I tried to help dad shake up the casino
I had a fight with the casino boss when I tried to arrest him
She's a girl but you've taught him to behave like a boy
Yan-kit, it's your fault
It's my fault? How come?
I don't want a hairpin. Use it for making other ornaments
Ching-luen, come over here
You'll wear it for me
Thank you, grandma
Have you seen it? I'm the whipping boy but the one who rocks the boat is rewarded
Mom, you're not fair
I haven't finished yet
Ching-luen, you'II wear it night and day
I'II check it every day. If there's any damage, it's is a proof of misbehavior
Then you'll be punished
What?
Great! It's good to set rules
She needs to be disciplined
You agree?
Of course
What will be the punishment?
I have yet to have an idea
When punishment is required I'II certainly tell your dad about it
Oh no, Old Master!
I'm the whipping boy again?
It's a father's fault if his kids misbehave
If your daughter misbehaves
as her dad, you'II be held responsible for not teaching her properly
Young Master, don't drink alone
Let me play some music for you?
I'm fine. Thank you
Young Master, you look cheerful
What if I drink with you?
You face is as large as a gong
If you sit down here, I'll leave right away
You're wicked!
You shouldn't drink alone
Let's play a drinkers' wager game together?
Go away immediately
I'II go to the toilet
Young Master, what if...
Sir, why are you in such a bad mood?
Why did you let off steam in front of our topmost courtesans?
Sit down first
Hands off! I'm busy
You've to eat your lunch even you're busy. Come on
OK
Help yourself, mom
You've gone too far. Just let me know if you don't want their company when you eat
You didn't have to play pranks on them
Since not many customers are here at this time of day
I've just made a little fun of them
You're still in a good mood but I'm not in the mood for even eating a meal
Uncle Kwai had just told me the cops had a raid on our casino again
It appears I can't do any business in the near future
'A new broom sweeps clean' You shouldn't be too surprised
I'm just too surprised you don't help me run the business
You seldom listen to me
It's OK for me to idle the days away in a casino or courtesan house
If you want me to operate it, no way!
If you really insist, your business will go bankrupt very soon
You don't feel sorry when work has caused your mom to get wrinkled skin and gray hair
and her faded beauty is like that of a withered flower?
Mom, there're many things you can do
Since this new government official has been determined to
deal with casinos and prostitute dens severely
you should close the casino and open a herbal medicine shop
Replace prostitution with medication!
Mom, I really care about you
OK, OK... You know...
I beg you not to be so longwinded. I've never seen a young man like you before
But... Finish your meal
My son had indulged himself with lustful passion
He broke laws and violated discipline
He brought disgrace on his ancestors and family. He had let Your Majesty down
I really feel deeply ashamed of his behavior
Now I'd like to return the imperial robe and ring
I must take the blame for his wrongdoings
Your Majesty, please punish me
Get me a copper bowl
When the imperial robe is shown
it's the same as seeing me so no one has the right to hurt the one who's wearing it
I gave it to Yin-ming in the hope that he could do his work without fears
I never expected that I would be the one who took his life eventually
Shing-tsz, do you blame me for being too merciless
by sacrificing consanguinity for the sake of righteousness?
No, it's good governance when the laws are followed
It's chaos when selfish desires prevail
Aunt, you're a discerning empress. You mustn't be swayed by personal consideration
It's good you understand that the state is always above the family
A parent will sacrifice everything for his or her kids
One just prays that his or her kids will be safe
will start their own families and brighten their forefathers' enterprise
Losing a son is really painful. You know I've gone through this before
I'd removed my son's title as the Crown prince and relegated him to a commoner
Yau Sun-tsik misinterpreted my order and it led to catastrophic consequences
My son Yin had taken his own life in Bazhou finally
Whenever I think of it there's still an ache in my heart
I'II let Yin-ming keep the robe and ring in the netherworld
Your Majesty, I'll thank you on his behalf
The dead is dead already. I know too well who's right and who's wrong
You're the most virtuous person in the royal family
Don't improperly belittle yourself
You must pull yourself together and serve me and the dynasty again
To show my gratitude, I'II serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly
Yuen-yee will go on a tour of inspection on my behalf in plain clothes very soon
As usual, she'II stay in your place for a short while
What do you think?
She's always welcome, Your Majesty
Scholar Sheung Koon has vegetarian meals on every month's 1st and 15th day
Today is 15. Is her meal properly prepared already?
She's a villainous hypocrite Her hands are stained with blood
Eating vegetarian meals won't make her less wicked
She's really stained Buddha's sacredness
Hey!
Am I wrong? Both she and Tik Yan-kit are responsible for the death of Yin-ming
I've said before that the die is cast
Sorrow will not help matters
We should be happy that Her Majesty has not put the blame on us
She even lets Yuen-yee to stay in our place
It's a gesture that everything is back to normal
As long as Her Majesty is nice to us
once I'm in power in future
I'II hack that Tik Yan-kit into pieces and I want his posterity to be cut off
so Yin-ming can rest in peace in the realm of shades
Your Highnesses Scholar Sheung Koon has arrived
Scholar Sheung Koon, please
Nice to meet you
Your Highnesses
Skip the formalities
I've to go on a tour of inspection in plain clothes on Her Majesty's behalf
I'II stay here for a short while and put you to trouble again
My wife enjoys your company very much
His Highness has just bought some peonies with dual tones
Their sweet smell greets the nose nicely. Let's go and take a look
Sure
Come and take a look... lt's very nice...
Minister Tik has been here for less than half a month
but he's already succeeded in keeping the casinos and courtesan houses under control
Everything is in perfect order. Brilliant!
You don't say a word because you don't like me praising him?
It's because of what happened to your bro?
Don't get it wrong. You're going on a tour of inspection
You've to report what you see honestly to Her Majesty
I just daren't make any improper comments
Awesome!
You are?
It's Yin-ming's Double Seven today (49 days from the first day of death)
I used to remember events, not dates
It's because Yin-ming always reminded me of the important dates
Yin-ming, I lament your premature death
If Heaven must take away one of my sons
I wish it were Yin-tak and not you!
