The Three Heroes and Five Gallants
Episode 30
Keep a close eye on Miss Zhang.
There must not be a single mistake.
Yes, sir.
Men! Help me onto the carriage to rest.
The Prince of Changsha is a very crafty fellow.
He doesn't want to write a letter and leave evidence.
He only wanted to send a verbal message to Pang Yu through me,
saying that the gates of his palace
are always open for him.
Other than Changsha, Pang Yu, has nowhere else to go to now.
Plus, at this point he cannot turn back anymore.
This gives me time to pursue and stop him.
Then I'll find a place aheadto keep a lookout
and respectfully wait for Royal Uncle.
Pang Yu's plan this time is to first go east and then south.
Along the way he has to pass through Peach Blossom Valley.
Peach Blossom Valley?
Fine.
Hang on! I'll come with you.
No need to trouble yourself.
I can manage alone.
One more person is one more source of strength.
Besides, catching that thief, is my responsibility too.
Aya! I suddenly remembered. Brother, can you help me with something?
Please tell me.
Go at once to Chenzhou and tell my big brother
to follow Pang Yu's trail and harass him from the rear,
I'll be ahead with my net ready to catch him.
Working from the front and rear, the chances of success are higher.
Fifth Master, even if I leave now,
reaching Chenzhou will take about half a day.
By that time, won't you already have crossed fire with Pang Yu?
Pang Yu is very suspicious by nature,
if there's no one chasing behind, he might get even more suspicious
and end up applying more diversionary
'true or false, fake or real' tactics on me.
Then we might really have to kill this big fish.
Fifth Master is right.
Brother Shen, until meet again!
Take care. See you!
I don't understand.
Yesterday Royal Uncle was treating Miss Zhang as a beloved treasure but today
why is he treating her like rubbish?
I also don't get it.
Anyway, yesterday he told me in secret
that if there's anything suspicious, I must take her down.
But he didn't say how should we do it?
He did.
If we meet soldiers or barricades on the way, we'll treat her as our hostage.
What if it's uneventful all the way?
This...Second-in-command, you're Royal Uncle's trusted aide.
When we arrive at Changsha, tell Royal Uncle
that to kill a beautiful girl like her will be too wasteful.
Ask him to let us play with her too.
He'll get the first bite and take the fat meat.
Then we'll follow to gnaw on the bones and drink some bone soup. Ah?
Isn't that right?
It's just that...how can this Little Sister Zhang be a spy?
Last night, his brother fought along with me doing his best to kill the enemies
for the sake of Royal Uncle's life, not minding his own safety.
I heard that this girl has very stubborn nature and is very wild.
She has contradicted Royal Uncle numerous times.
But that still doesn't prove that she's a spy.
Second-in-command, you're right.
If she really was a spy,
why would she contradict Royal Uncle face to face?
-Right?- Right!
That's exactly right.
Eldest Brother!
- Eldest Brother! - What is it?
Second Brother, how was it? Have you found her?
Don't worry, once Fifth Brother has captured Pang Yu,
naturally, we'll know where Second Sister-in-law is.
Eldest, Second eldest, Justice Bao has arrived.
Let's go!
[Imperial Envoy's Residence]
Greetings, Your Excellency.
Everyone has worked hard.
Please enter.
Where's Pang Yu?
We've sent men everywhere to capture him.
Second-in-command, I need to go to the toilet.
Quickly go!
You guys, come here!
Come, come.
Everyone, these 2 days, we're all tired from traveling.
You've all worked hard.
Everyone, make the most of this opportunity
and rest for a while. Have a good nap.
Rest a while.
You, go over there.
You, over there.
Rest, rest, rest.
Rest.
Second Brother, Heaven helps the worthy. Nothing bad will happen to Miss Ji.
If Pang Yu and the others escaped through the underground passage,
they may have broken away from Fifth Master's chase.
Fifth Master is a very proud person.If he noticed that his target had escaped,
he'd definitely head towards Changsha to catch up with them.
Pang Yu would have taken that into account.
If he wanted to take a long route, he could only go east.
If that's the case, we should split into two groups.
One will search to the east.
The other should get to Changshaas fast as they can.
Master, myself and Miss Yalan
will search towards the south.
Eldest, Fourth, Third
and Qiukui, you go east.
No no no.
There are too few going south!
I can't ease my mind. I'll go with you.
No. If Bai Yutang is in the south, you mustn't go.
I'll let you have my Mother Tiger.
Can Third Master bear to be apart from Third Sister-in-law?
You think too much!
I'm making my Mother Tiger keep watch on you
so that you don't misbehave with Little Sister Yalan.
Exactly! Miss Yalan is
a lady that Master Fifth has already reserved.
I want to make sure
that you don't ruin Miss Yalan's plans.
Third sister-in-law, Master Yue isn't that kind of person.
Master Yuehua and Miss Yalan,
are level-headed and proper gentleman and lady.
Randomly casting aspersions on people's personal integrity,
I'm afraid may break up friendships.
Exactly!
Master Bao is right.
Wake up! Everyone wake up! Get ready to depart!
Quickly! Everyone get up!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Sister, did you sleep well?
After the nice nap, let's get in the carriage.
Look at you! I knew sleeping in that position would be uncomfortable.
But don't worry, once we're in the carriage,
you can sleep on Royal Uncle's lap. That's the right place for goddesses!
Come, come, come. Get up, get up.
Don't come closer! If anyone comes closer,
I'll take his worthless life!
- Don't move! - Everybody, don't move!
As long as you don't move,
I won't hurt a single strand of his hair.
You must not move. This woman has an erratic personality.
Pang Wang! What are you discussing?
Hurry up and save Royal Uncle!
Royal Uncle, we're trying to think of a way to save you.
Miss Zhang! We can let you go,
but don't injure Royal Uncle!
As long as you don't come closer,
I won't touch a single strand of his hair!
Sure! A real man...
is a man of his words.
Let me tell you, you better not make any rash moves.
If you dare making any rash moves, I'll slice you with my sword.
Within 20 miles, if I wanted to kill you,
it'd be as easy as turning the palm of my hand.
Alright, my sister. What you're doing is...
I tied you up because I was afraid you'd stubbornly go to find your brother.
I don't have any bad intentions towards you.
Stop your nonsense! As long as you don't move,
my knife will naturally not touch your flesh.
Royal Uncle! Royal Uncle!
- Royal Uncle! - Royal Uncle! Are you okay?
Chase her! Chase after her!
Bring her back alive! Don't injure her!
Jia!
Stop! Stop!
Master! Master.
Bodyguard Cui is dead.
Miss Zhang...Miss Zhang, with one cut...
Where's Miss Zhang?
She's run away.
Master.
Whose knife is this?
Master, that's mine!
Yours?
Then why did you leave it around
and not sheathe it well?
Here, take it, take it.
Oh yes! Cui Jian is--
Back-stabbing thing...
Remove all the carriages!
Get ready to depart!
Yes, sir!
Miss Saihua!
Brother Sheng!
How come you're here?
I've just escaped from Pang Yu.
Then where is Pang Yu?
Pang Yu is just ahead. He probably left now.
If I guess right, Bai Yutang should be there waiting for Pang Yu.
Brother Sheng, you've seen Fifth Uncle?
Originally, Fifth and I were going to capture Pang Yu together.
But Fifth was worried that I'd take his credit,
so he went alone to do it.
But not to worry, I've taken a longer route,
but I'm slowly following Fifth.
I'll give him that extra force.
Fifth Uncle just has that kind of attitude.
Brother Sheng, you must not get angry with him.
If I were angry with him, I wouldn't have come here.
Brother Sheng, I'll come with you.
- Is your body ready for it? - I'm ready.
Fine, let's go!
Jia!
- Woah.- Woah.
I was worried about not having enough weapons.
Woah there!
Pang Wang?
It was him who saved me just now.
I didn't expect that...
Since it's like this, let's dig a hole and give him a proper burial.
This can count as a proper last send-off.
Yu!
Royal Uncle, this is the edge of Peach Blossom Valley already.
Good. Once we pass here, we'll be safe.
Let's go! Jia!
- Bai Yutang!- Bai Yutang?
Pang Yu, since your Fifth Master is here, won't you dismount and let me arrest you?
Royal Uncle, what do we do now?
Royal Uncle, I think it's just him.
Let's not get anxious. Let me first try him out a bit.
Bai Yutang! It'll be hard for 2 fists to fight 4 hands.
We are many, can you handle it alone?
Don't say there are 20 men,
even if it were 1000s,
I'd still take your head from a 10,000 strong army.
It really is him alone! Attack together! Kill him!
If we succeed this time, I'll reward you with 100 taels of gold!
1000 taels reward for whoever kills Bai Yutang!
♫ White sword, gray sword, black eyes ♫
♫ Cold tears, quiet and lonely night, one waning moon ♫
♫ Disarrayed lights, boiling blood, drowned out the promises ♫
♫ Cold laughs, dancing swords, ♫
Bai Yutang, Bai Yutang.
You still want to kill me?
You can't even get through my bodyguards.
Exhaust him!
Exhaust him! Exhaust Bai Yutang!
I'll add another 100 taels...200 taels!
♫ Come, world and time ♫
♫ The blaze is spreading ♫
♫ In a moment's time, burning all of the dark sky ♫
♫ Come, world and time ♫
♫ The night fire is spreading ♫
♫ Burning this unending night ♫
Brother Sheng, look!
Bai Yutang! Come kill me!
Come and kill me!
Fifth Master Bai is surrounded by many men.
Then let's hurry up and go save him!
How do we save him?
Let's catch Pang Yu first. In catching criminals, you must catch their leader first.
This plan is not bad.
But if we do this, where will Bai Yutang's reputation go?
Then...then let's kill those bodyguards and let him capture Pang Yu!
Good plan!
Brother Sheng, what's the meaning of this?
I can't let him know who I am.
If anyone asks you later on, just say, "I don't know."
Sister Zhang.
Resist them! Resist!
- Second sister-in-law.- Hurry and go capture Pang Yu. Leave this to me!
Listen to me!
Justice Bao has already rushed to Chengzhou.
Pang Yu has nowhere to run!
Why are you fighting for someone about to die,to accompany him to his grave?
Miss Ji.
My job here is done. I must take my leave.
Brother Sheng, let us meet again.
Let us meet again.
Don't kill me. Don't kill me.
Bai Yutang, you tormenting me like this,
isn't there any law now?
Little Sister Zhang. Sister Zhang?
Our people are here!
Goodbye, Second sister-in-law.
Yu!
Where did Fifth go?
I don't know.
That's how he is. He leaves when he wants, nobody knows why.
Yalan, go chase after him!
Fifth, wait for me! Jia!
Second Master, wait here. I'll go check it out.
Jia! Jia!
Pretty Boy! You come back! You're not allowed to go!...
What is wrong with them?
D-d-don't know. Probably have nothing better do.
Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang?
It's a misunderstanding. It was all just a misunderstanding.
Set Royal Uncle free.
Set Royal Uncle free and you'll be rewarded heavily.
I'm n-not Zhang Han.
I'm your Second Master, Han Zhang!
Jia!
Yu!
Yalan!
Yu!
Yalan, are you alright?
Bai Yutang is too cruel!
I forbid you touching her! It's improper for man and woman to have contact.
Are you alright? Were you hurt from the fall?
Hey, fellow countrymen of Chenzhou, listen!
Imperial Envoy Magistrate Bao is opening the courthouse for your complaints.
If you have any complaint, you can tell Magistrate Bao about it.
He will definitely give you justice.
We are wronged! We are wronged!
We are wronged!
Be quiet. Be quiet! Everyone, listen to me.
Magistrate has a mandate. Those with grievances who want to file a complaint,
if you have a written complaint. directly give it to us.
If you don't have one, see there!
The scribes will help you write one. All for free.
Hey, folks! Everybody, don't worry!
Justice Bao has personally said that everyone,
all wronged people, have the right to file their complaint.
Everyone, let's fall in line. Slowly.
- Don't push each other.- Slowly.
A little slower.
- Don't push each other. Don't push each other.- Ah, misters, slowly.
A little slower. A little slower.
So many grievances.
Sound the drums and start the court hearing!
We're finally able to shout our grievances.
Finally someone who will help ordinary people get justice.
Mighty...
Bring in Pang Yu!
- Bring in Pang Yu! - Bring in Pang Yu!
Right the wrongs, seek revenge! Right the wrongs, seek revenge!
Kneel down!
Bao Zheng...you are an Imperial envoy, I'm an Imperial envoy too.
You don't have the right to arrest me and try me.
Pang Yu, the people of Chenzhou are accusing you.
As Imperial Envoy you were ordered to providedisaster relief to the people,
but instead you abused the imperial kindness.
When you arrived at Chenzhou, not only you didn't provide disaster relief,
but instead openly plundered the people's wealth,
forcefully taking women, using government funds as your own,
land grabbing, raping and kidnapping, doing all manners of evil deeds.
Say, were there such things?
Really?
A load of nonsense. Totally just slandering me.
Pang Yu, you're at death's door and you're still making excuses!
Come, bring in Mrs. Chen Wang.
Send in Mrs. Cheng Wang!
Greetings to the upright and honorable magistrate.
Mrs. Chen Wang, were you the one who accused Pang Yu
of forcefully taking away your daughter, beating your husband to death,
and burning your house to the ground? Is this the truth?
All of those were true.
That day, Royal Uncle ordered men to come take my daughter.
My husband went to stop them,
but was seriously beaten by them,
I was also hurt by them.
Pity my daughter, she was only 16 years old!
She was taken into the Imperial Family Garden.
She couldn't endure the torment of those beasts,
so she jumped from the Hundred Flowers Tower, plunging to her death.
Pity my husband who was already badly injured.
When he heard the news,
that night spit blood and died.
Daughter, Pang Yu is your own blood brother!
I know!
But even if I had the nerve to go to His Majesty again,
beg him to write a decree, and then rush to Chenzhou,it wouldn't arrive there in time.
Your Highness, although Bao Zheng is extremely daring
and doesn't spare anyone if he's in the right, he will, no matter what,
do things strictly abiding to the law and rules.
He'll be methodical and thorough, and do things conventionally.
So what?
I'm thinking, your brother's case
can't be closed for at least ten days to half a month.
Therefore, you have enough time
to beg His Majesty to issue an imperial decree.
Then we will rush our horses to Chenzhou.
My love, seeing you cry like this, what has happened?
Your Majesty, I beg you to hurry and save my own blood brother!
Royal Uncle Pang, what's wrong with him?
Your Majesty,when Bao Zheng got to Chenzhou
he never tried to catch Bai Yutang,
instead, he set fire and burned my brother's residence,
arrested my brother and locked him in the prison for death convicts.
Are you telling the truth?
I'm sure of it!
That can't be. Although Bao Zheng
sometimes dares to contradict me too,
but...I feel that he's on the side of reason.
Normally, he wouldn't do this.
Why would he set fire to the Imperial Envoy Residence
and arrest Royal Uncle Pang this time?
It must be just a rumor.
If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, send someone to Chenzhou quickly
and have both Bao Zheng and my brother
come back to the Capital and confront each other right in front of you.
My love, this matter is a bit hard to do.
This time Bao Zheng went to Chenzhou
not only to capture Bai Yutang and Sheng Zhongyuan,
he also has another important mission.
That is, as requested by my Mother,
besides checking the condition of the calamity-stricken people of Chenzhou,
he has to burn incense and fulfill a promise.
If I order him back now,
it won't be easy to explain that to Royal Mother.
Then I'll just be daring and beg Your Majesty
to issue another decree to Bao Zheng.
Issue what decree?
Tell Bao Zheng that no matter what law Royal Uncle Pang broke,
he should be brought back to the Capital
to be personally tried by Your Majesty
and then sentenced accordingly.
Mh...Alright. I agree.
Who will Your Majesty send to Chenzhou to proclaim the decree?
Who does my loving consort suggest?
I think that my brother-in-law Sun Rong is the best choice.
Alright. I'll also grant you that.
Lady Consort is back!
Lady Consort...
Here, this is the imperial decree.
Lady Consort still has a way.
Just having an imperial decree, we can't say that everything's done.
Whether Bao Zheng will honor it or not still worries me.
If this imperial decree can save your brother, then that'll be the best.
If it can't, we'll still have something to pin Bao Zheng.
We'll use the excuse that he defied the royal decree
and himself put his own neck on the block.
Right! If Bao Zheng dares to defy the imperial decree,
I'll then dare to cause a ruckus in the Inner Palace.
Yu!
Reporting to Master Sun, in front is the town of Changpo.
It's a bustling market city.
How far are we still from the nearest city?
Around 30 li [10 miles]
Find the largest inn in that city
- and let's stay for the night.- Yes.
Jia!
"...no role for corruption...weals and woes go with..."
What...what is this place?
What is this place?
Master, it's still so early.
Why don't we sleep together some more?
Who are you people? Don't touch me!
Master, sleep some more!
Somebody come! Somebody!
Master, sleep some more!
What's wrong? Why are you shouting so early in the morning?
Has a criminal or an intruder come in?
What kind of place is this?
Fragrant Spring Brothel
When Master came in last night, did he not read the sign clearly?
Preposterous!
How did I get to this place?
Master, you walked in here yourself.
Last night, you ordered three girls and spent half the night drinking with them.
You acted as a god for a night.
Why? Have you forgotten already?
Nonsense!
When did I order wine and girls?
Yo, Mister, look.
You still haven't even closed your pants
and already want to be in debt? That can't be allowed.
Where are my pants? Where are my pants?
Where are my pants?
Bring my pants to me!
I want to wear my pants!
I'm a government official. You are being too disrespectful!
You'll all regret this!
Stop your nonsense and come with me.
Hey, Old Bao, what's happening here?
This dog thing came to our Fragrant Spring Brothel last night,
slept with our girls and drank our wine.
Upon waking up this morning, he wouldn't pay up
and even falsely claimed to be a government official.
I didn't sleep with any women. I didn't drink any brothel wine!
Where are you taking him?
We're dragging him to see the county magistrate.
Come and watch a lively scene!
Come.
Bring the two involved parties into the court.
Bring the two involved parties into the court!
Mighty...
How dare you madman!
Why are you not kneeling after seeing me?
Are you the county magistrate here?
Indeed.
Do you know what government official I am?
Official? Are you also a government official?
Minister of Military Affairs, Sun Rong.
Minister of Military Affairs, Sun Rong?
Do you know now?
I never heard of you.
You! The current Chancellor Pang Ji, have you heard of him?
The current Chancellor Pang Ji?
That's the Emperor's father-in-law.
Who doesn't know him?
I am his son-in-law.
How dare you madman!
The current Chancellor Pang's son-in-law is the Emperor.
You dare you falsely claim to be the Emperor?
Come, hit him with 40 planks first.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Hey, County Magistrate,
you must think about this well.
Chancellor Pang has two daughters.
The one I married is his eldest daughter.
The one beside the Emperor is the second daughter!
You wait for a while. I'll just recall it.
Chancellor Pang has two daughters.
Right.
The one you married is the eldest daughter.
That's right.
The one the Emperor married is the second daughter.
Exactly!
So your wife
and the Emperor's wife are blood sisters.
There, you said it right.
There's a saying that sisters are one family.
Your wife is the Emperor's half-wife.
Speaking rubbish! What are you saying?
What I'm saying is, your wife
can enjoy half-a-royal consort's treatment.
That is of course!
Then, you're really an imperial relative?
Forgive me for having eyes but failing to see. Hope you can forgive me.
Sir, stop listening to his rubbish.
After arriving at our Fragrant Spring Brothel last night,
he claimed to be in the silk business.
And then he also said that he'll make each of our girls clothes.
This morning, I asked him to pay but he can't bring out any money.
To get away from his debt, he falsely claimed to be some government official from the Capital
and even tried to scare us. County magistrate, please investigate this!
Speaking rubbish! You shrew!
When did I drink brothel wine?
When did I ask for girls?
- You did drink brothel wine and did order for girls.- Enough already!
Don't fight anymore!
You say that you're a government official.
Then...do you have any proof?
My men are all in Changpo Town. Just call for them and you'll know.
Changpo Town?
Where is Changpo Town?
Magistrate, Sir, Changpo Town is in the Gaoping District.
How far is it from here?
Around 40 li [12.5 miles].
I stayed there last night.
