The Three Heroes and Five Gallants
Episode 31
Hey, come. Come.
Come. Come.
Big Brother.
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
Give me that secret recipe passed on in your family.
I guarantee that I'll give you a not guilty sentence.
Secret recipe passed on in my family?
Right.
What do you mean?
Big Brother, just look at how someone like you
was able to sleep with three women in one night...
If you give it to me,
I guarantee that if I'm able to...let's say...succeed
I'll definitely give you a not guilty sentence.
Pah! What bullshit is that?
You're even putting on airs now.
Let me tell you. I left the capital for a task ordered by an Imperial decree.
If you delay my task, even if you had 10 brains, it wouldn't be enough!
I won't get angry.
Let me ask you again.
- That secret family recipe...- There's none!
- That's it!-Ay-a.
Beat the drums and start the court proceedings!
Men!
Take this one pretending to be an Imperial relative,
this maniac who swindles prostitutes, and hit him hard 40 times!
Hit hard 40 times!- Ay-o!
Hit him! Hit him. Hard!
So painful!
I'm innocent!
I don't have a secret family recipe.
If I had one, wouldn't I give it to you? Ay-o!
Officer, what can I do for you?
We serve under the Minister of Military Affairs, Sun Rong.
We have to request an audience with your County Magistrate.
Please wait here a while. I'll go inform him.
Good...
You hit
well.
Beating was good?
Hit 20 more.
Master! Master! Oh, no!
Why are you in such a panic?
There's a group of soldiers with horses and swords outside.
They say that they are the escorts of the Capital's Minister of Military Affairs.
My escorts are here!
Let's see how you'll live.
Master, hurry and run!
Stay right there!
Stop!
Stop right there!
Keep it a little more stable.
A little more stable!
I told you to make it more stable, not to go slower.
You still need to hurry and run. Hurry and run!
What are you doing? Stop! Stop!
Say, what are you doing?
What are you doing? Ah?
When I asked you to go faster, it gets shaky.
When I ask you to go slower, you give me bullshit?
Master, it gets too bumpy because their steps are not in sync with each other.
Then walk in sync!
Walk in sync! Walk in sync!
All should listen to my orders!
- Listen to Master's orders! Listen to Master's orders.- Go!
- Go.- Front foot, back foot, left foot,
right foot, front foot, back foot, left foot, right foot,
front foot, back foot, Wrong! Wrong foot! Front foot, back foot...
- Front foot, back foot, left foot, right foot...- Slower! Slower!
- Front foot, back, foot, left foot, right foot...- Stop! Stop already!
- Slower.- No one can touch my butt!
My butt can't be touched! Stop! Stop!
- Get lost!- Slower, slower. Master, move slowly.
- My butt must not be touched!- Yes, yes. Master, I know already.
Why did you use so much force?
Master, slowly.
Slowly.
Master, do you want me to get you a doctor?
Do you need to ask?!
- Get me the best doctors in this place!- Yes!
Useless thing. Using so much force!
Disgusting!
Oh, my!
Oh, my...
Master, can we set out now?
- Set out.- Set out!
Front foot, back foot,
left foot, right foot,
front foot, back foot,
left foot, right foot...
Pang Yu!
You took the relief fund for yourself and devastated the citizens,
connived with a vassal state Prince with illegal intentions.
The evidence is as solid as a mountain. Do you have anything to say?
Bao Zheng, I'll say it again.
You are an Imperial Envoy. I too am an Imperial Envoy.
Even if I really did commit very grave illegal acts,
only the Emperor can try and sentence me.
You don't have the right to kill me.
I want to seek an audience with the Emperor.
If you have the ability, take me to the capital.
You want to see the Emperor?
Sure.
Wang Chao, bring out the Imperial Sword.
Yes!
The Imperials Sword is here and it's as if His Majesty himself was here.
Bao Zheng, are you trying to scare me?
Are you trying to scare me? Do you think that I don't know
that the reason His Majesty gave you the Imperial Sword was to kill Bai Yutang,
not to kill me!
Regardless of who, as long as he committed acts against the law,
he will be dealt with based on the law. There will be no exceptions.
B-b-bao Zheng...
Bao Zheng, I know you're cruel. I know you're cruel.
You dared to kill princes and dukes, and imperial in-laws.
But have you ever thought that one day
everyone will connive to deal with you?!
"Demons and evil spirits are not worth considering"
Men! Remove Pang Yu's clothes
and tie him up!
Take him through the streets. Tomorrow, at 12:45 pm,
in front of all the people of Chenzhou,
carry out the sentence.
Black Bao!
I won't let you off even if I become a ghost!
How far are we from Chenzhou?
Around 6 more miles, Master.
You, hurry, get one man with you
and rush to Chenzhou fast as fire to inform Bao Zheng to prepare to accept the decree.
Yes! Jia!
Jia! Jia!
Faster! Faster! Go faster!
Beat him to death! Beat him to death!
Dog Official! Beat him to death!
Stop!
Who dares to block our way?
We are the Capital's Minister for Military Affairs, Master Sun's men.
Minister Sun was tasked by His Majesty to read his Imperial decree.
Master Bao, please come forward!
Where is Minister Sun and where is the Imperial decree?
They'll be here soon.
How dare you! Minister Sun is not yet here and you're blocking the criminal's carriage!
Men! Drive them away with your sticks!
Save me! Wait! Save me!
Yu!
Why did we stop?
Reporting to Magistrate, the Bureau of Military Affairs sent two men
to say that Minister Sun is coming to read an imperial decree.
But since the imperial decree isn't here yet,
those two subjects were already driven away by me.
Ignore them. Move on.
Continue forward!
Kill him!
Kill him! Beat him to death!
Beat him to death! Corrupt official!
Beat him to death! Beat him to death!
Stinky corrupt official!
Beat him to death! Corrupt official! Beat him to death!
Men! Bring forth the criminal Pang Yu!
Kneel!
[Chenzhou]
Hurry! Faster! Hurry! A little faster!
Don't mind my butt.
Informing magistrate, it's already 12:45 pm.
Alright. Men! Open the guillotine!
Stop the execution!
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Stop the execution! The Imperial decree is here!
Black Bao! Let me see if you can still be cruel!
Bao Zheng, receive the decree!
I'm here to receive the decree.
As bestowed by the Heavens...
No! H-h-he...he's just having a bout of epilepsy.
It's an epilepsy attack!
Pull him up to reread it!
Have someone read it!
"Travellers' Brothel. Officially sanctioned. Clean girls, checked regularly. 2 Strings of cash and tips for 1 hour..."
How dare you Sun Rong? You dared to visit prostitutes midway!
And even left the imperial decree in the whore house.
Such a grave crime can't be forgiven!
Men! Arrest him!
- Yes!- Yes!
Magistrate B-b-bao...have m-m-mercy...
Prepare the tiger guillotine!
Magistrate Bao, this isn't our fault. Please, Master, spare us.
Since Sun Rong visited prostitutes midway, you guys can't run from your responsibilities too.
I won't punish you
On your return to the Eastern Capital, personally ask your superiors for punishment.
Thank you, Magistrate.
Magistrate, the tiger guillotine is ready.
Behead Sun Rong!
I'll obey!
Behead Pang Yu!

Yes.
Thank you, Magistrate, for eliminating evils for the people.
This merit can't be mine alone.
It must be tough for Hero Zhang to serve the tiger.
Being a spy for this long.
No. This is a duty that I should do.
Compared to what you have done, my doings are nothing extraordinary.
Although the small ghost has been eliminated, the big evil is still there.
Hero Zhan, you haven't reached the time to remove your armor and return home.
Brother Zhan, I'll still have to inconvenience you.
Your concern, Master,
makes my heart feel warmed.
Magistrate, don't worry.
I will definitely follow your lead.
Southern Hero, Great Hero!
He went into a brothel in the middle of the night
and even left my imperial decree in the brothel.
This kind of disrespectful person,
even if Bao Zheng hadn't punished him,
I wouldn't spare him either.
I didn't use the right people.
Please, Your Majesty punish me for my oversight.
And also that son of yours,
always sending good news to me.
Today, these achievements.Tomorrow, that meritorious service...
But in the end, what?
The testimonies are all here.
You read them!
Your Majesty! Bao Zheng has always been in conflict with our family.
Who knows if those testimonies were not obtained through torture?
How about this then?
You accompany me to Chenzhou,let's see the real situation for ourselves.
If these were really obtained through torture, then I'll have Bao Zheng killed
and avenge Pang Yu and Sun Rong.
But if Bao Zheng reports are all true,
how should I then deal with this?
You think of a way.
No rush to answer. Go back, think about it well and then come back to answer me.
Now, leave.
Your subject is leaving.
Your consort is leaving.
Minister for Revenue, Zhou Xiaoguang, respectfully greets His Majesty.
Subject Zhou, please rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
What do you need?
Your Majesty, Bao Zheng sent me an official document
asking the Ministry of Revenue for 2 million taels of silver
to help the disaster-stricken people of Chenzhou.
2 million taels?
Does Bao Zheng think that I have gold and silver mountains here?
The relief funds sent to Chenzhou the last few years
already exceed 10 million taels!
Your Majesty, in the document, Bao Zheng says that the funds sent to Chenzhou for disaster relief
were never used by Pang Yu for the people.
On the contrary, he even extorted 3 million taels from the population.
Such a big country. This year, this province suffers drought.
Next year, that province will get flooded.
The Liao Country in the Northand the West Xia on the West
keep attacking my bordersyear after year, endlessly.
The money spent flows like water in a river.
Where do you want me to find another 2 million taels for Bao Zheng?
Your Majesty, please advice me how to reply.
Go and tell Bao Zheng
that if he wants money, the government has none to give.
But...the disaster must be relieved, the people must be saved.
Didn't he keep asking to be sent to Chenzhou?
He himself must think of a way to get the money.
I'm just worried that if we made him anxious,
he will do things illegally.
Isn't there a group of martial arts masters
living in his Kaifeng Court?
Make them go to steal from the rich to help the poor then.
Anyway, aren't people already saying that
Kaifeng Court is a gang of officials and bandits, a nest of cat and rats?
Your Majesty, in our Great Song, it will be hard to find a pig fat enough to kill
in order to feed a province.
If one is not enough, kill two. If two are not enough, kill three.
I've fed so many fat pigs.
If they aren't killed now for disaster relief, shall I put them on an altar and treat them as ancestors?
May I ask, are you Master Yue?
I am indeed.
Master Yue, please come inside.
I'm hungry...
Fourth! Fourth!
You kept glancing around there. What are you looking for?
Surely he's looking for that pretty boy!
Right. Right. Right.
But we won't tell him where he is.
Not telling.
That...Third Brother, Third Brother-in-law,
tell me. Tell me. Tell me.
A while ago, somebody--
Is your back feeling well these past days?
- Come. Let me.- Why did you stop her?
Your skills have improved.
Do you want wine or mantou?
- Wine- Mantou!
What do you really want?
Wife, wine is a little more expensive.
- Mantou is a little more delicious.- Wine is better.
Mantou! Look at the white and soft--
Guys! Guys!
Just tell me when brother and sister-in-law
have finished discussing it, alright?
I'll leave now.
Chenzhou's calamities keep happening every year.
The money for disaster relief released by the government
has already been cleanly spent by Pang Yu.
Right now, there are no grains in the provincial storage.
Giving out two meals of wild vegetables everyday seems also hard to maintain.
But the 10,000 gold taels Pang Yu sent to the Eastern Capital
were for the people's disaster relief.
There was never such a thing. Brother Shen, you fell into his trap.
Who said that there's no such thing?
I personally took part in escorting it.
Then if that's the case...
Mother Tiger...
Within such a deep pond,
there must be fish.
Tell Uncle Fourth to get us 2 fishes.
Eating it grilled is good too.
He? This Fourth who has a stomach full of evil schemes,
he may have already caught one
and is hiding in some place, secretly grilling and eating it.
How about this. Let's make Uncle Fourth catch us two...
this big.
We'll then tell him where that pretty boy is.
Enough already, Mother Tiger.
We don't even know where Pretty Boy is, so what are we going to tell him?
You're stupid!
Once Uncle Fourth has caught us a fish,
we'll then...
just randomly point at a place and let him look there.
Then whether he finds him or not won't be our fault.
We'll just say that Pretty Boy has feet
so must have left already.
Mother Tiger, did you do some dirty stuff behind my back?
No. No. No.
What I'm saying is, Mother Tiger, I noticed that you're getting smarter and smarter now.
I am smart to begin them. It's just them...
It's them who say that I'm stupid.
They keep saying and saying that I'm dumb.
Right. Right. Right.
My Mother Tiger is not at all dumb.
From now on, I'll listen to you for anything.
Good boy.
I have news here. I wonder if you are interested.
Pretty Boy, why did you come here?
A while ago, your Fourth Master went to find me.
What did he tell you?
He said that you had robbed some of Pang Yu's gold carriages on the road.
This stuff...this Fourth...he mustn't even tell it to the Heaven King.
What right does he have to tell it to you?
Maybe he's planning to get that gold.
Getting it all by himself?
Not really.
He said that regarding this gold, he had the most merit.
This Fourth...we had agreed already.
Each person gets 2000 taels to build a house and marry a wife.
What right does he have to get so much more?
Because Big Brother already has a wife.
That's right. My eldest nephew is already around 10 years old.
And also Second and Third Mastersalready have a wife too, right?
That is because we are more handsome.
If it's about good looks, it should be Fifth Master.
That's why regarding finding a wife, he's the one with the least problems.
Right. Fifth's nickname is the Sleek Rat.
Right. He's handsome. Not hard.
Pretty Boy, I'm reminding you again.
Our Fifth Master already made a reservation note time ago
and pinned Miss Yalan to his hands already.
No matter what, only Fourth Master is single now.
Naturally born ugly.
That's why he wants to use money to make up for it a little.
That's why he want to get a larger share.
How much does he want?
40 to 60. Each of you gets 1000 taels, he gets 6000.
Has he become insane? S-s-six thousand...
He even said...
that the 6,000 taels may not be enough to get a wife as heavyweight as Third Sister-in-law
Right. No money was spent for me.
I was officially married with the help of a matchmaker.
I never accepted any money.
I was given for free.
Anyway, he told me that Third Sister-in-law became yours because he gave way.
If Third Master doesn't agree
and still wants his share, he'll take Third Sister-in-law back.
Third Sister-in-law becomes...is downgraded to Fourth Sister-in-law.
Based on what?
What is his basis for downgrading my level?
I don't like to be a Fourth Sister-in-law.
I'll only be a Third Sister-in-law.
Right now, I think Fourth Masteris really very determined.
He said that he'll compete with Third Master until the end.
If he doesn't win, he'll never stop.
He dares? I'll break his wine drinking head!
Mantou eating head...
- I'll go now to settle this with him.- Hey, wait!
You mustn't tell him that I'm the one who told you this.
If you want to be a refined person,
the most important thing is, you mustn't tell others
what someone else told you.
Don't worry, Pretty Boy.
I won't betray you.
I'll kill him with my hammer.
Pretty Boy!
After finding him, slap him twice first.
Wait! I'm going too. Wait for me.
Saihua,
everyday we eat
a little porridge and wild vegetables.
Just these two meals, martial artists
c-can't live on just that.
Enough. It's not bad.
If we go out and buy wine and meat every day,
we won't look good to the civilians.
How about, from tomorrow, we send peopleto hunt in the mountains?
This way,
- we can also have better food. - Good idea.
Chenzhou has had several years of disasters in a row.
Even the trees bark has been eaten, let alone hunting game.
It looks like there aren't even mice.
It'd be good if there was a large river.
You know my skills. If there was a river, I would go down and get lots of fish and prawns.
Get what fish and prawns?
Third Brother, have you gone mad?
What did I do to offend you?
Third Brother, what's up with you?
You're recklessly fighting as soon as you get here?
- Do you still have respect for m-- - Big Brother, don't say it. I have respect for you. But Fourth Brother,
he deserves to get a beating.
Exactly. He is trying to demote me!
He said I could not be Third Brother's wife,had to be Fourth Brother's.
Sister Qiukui! How can you say something like that so rashly?
How did you come up with this? Two dimwits.
Qiukui, explain it clearly.
What's wrong?
Fourth Brother said
he wants the extra six thousand taels of gold.
If I didn't agree to him, he said he'd take away Qiukui
- from my side! - Can you stop spouting out nonsense?
What gold? What's going on?
- Just last time- - Sh-shut- - Shut your mouth!
- How can you say such...such-- Nonsense?
Third Brother,
- what you should and shouldn't say you d-d----- Don't know?
What he should say
yo-you-you won't let him say. Th-then you say it.
- Say it! - Just tell him, Second Brother.
Bi-big Brother,
the situation is this.
- Just say it!- Mmmmm.
Fourth Brother!
Big Brother, I'll say it.
This situation, we decided to tell you long ago.
But we've never found the opportunity.
You know that...
shipment of gold Pang Yu sent to the Eastern Capital?
We took ten thousand taels.
Big Brother, we do respect you, alright?
- We respect you. - Don't be angry.
We respect you.
We all agreed, us five brothers
to get two thousand taels each.
You have a share.
Who'd have thought that Fourth would change his mind halfway.
He wanted another six thousand taels!
Tell me clearly!
Who said such a thing?
We are civilized.
We're not telling you!
Shorty Fourth Brother said
he is short and therefore needs these six thousand taels of gold
to find a wife like my Qiukui
with the adequate stature.
Third Brother!
Please think about this with your conscience.
Could I, Fourth Brother Jiang, be someone so underhanded like that?
In any case, Shorty Fourth Brother said Qiukui
was his before. It was he who conceded her to me.
If I don't agree to his condition,
Shorty Fourth Brother will
take Qiukui back.
Why are you so foolish?
I don't want to lower my stature. I don't want to be Fourth Brother's wife.
I want to be with my Xu Qing
- to be the wife of the Third Brother.- Big Brother, Second Brother,
you have to believe me. I, Jiang Ping, am not this kind of a person.
Qiukui, stop crying.
You are the wife of the Third Brother. No one can change this reality.
Enough, enough, enough.
Stop, stop, stop making a scene.
All sit d-d-down first.
I am here.
- Let's see who could touch you.- Enough.
You two should use your head
to think about what you said.
How could you believe this non-non--
Believe this nonsense!
Second Brother,
look at this Fourth Brother.
Everyday he just chases that pretty boy's tail,
- like a little puppy.- Stop it.
Third Brother, what you meant was
that Yuehua told you this nonsense.
Big Brother, Second Brother, did you see that?
How can you not believe me by watching his face?
Fourth...Fourth Brother.
Second Brother.
You cannot believe his words.
- How could you say something like --- It's impossible for me to say that.
How could I possibly say something like that to Yuehua?
I'm puzzled that this well kept secret
could be known by Yuehua.
I'm just surprised,
such a huge thing, and you didn't say a word to me!
Then...
About these 10,000 taels of gold,
are you really planning to keep them yourselves?
Don't, don't, don't, Second Sister-In-Law.
Listen to me. This thing has nothing to do with Second Brother.
It was my idea, my idea.
Originally I felt that
none of us brothers had a wife.
I thought of getting some money to help all of us to marry.
Second Sister-In-Law, with10,000 taels of gold,
how many buns can I buy?
You could buy a big mountain of buns!
It will allow all the disasters' victims to eat for a year.
One year?
Then why don't we buy buns for them to eat?
I...I...
and Saihua decided
to take our sh-share
of the gold and
donate it all for the p-p-people of Chenzhou
who suffered in the d- disaster.
My share,
donate it.
Third Brother, what about you?
As long as you don't lower my stature,
I will make him
donate his share as well.
- Right?- Ah?
Then Fourth Brother.
I donate, I donate, I donate. I never said I wouldn't donate.
Isn't this easy?
Didn't I think for you guys in the beginning?
I just thought of getting some money
so that you all could
marry a wife and have your own family.
It's great for you now. You all have your own family,
It's just me, all by myself.
Enough.
Don't...cry...cry.
Fourth Brother,
enough.
Look,
Second Brother understands you.
Second Brother knows how you feel.
You...you feel desolate,
without a wife.
Let's do this. I promise you
that after all this is over,
I will find money for you.
We will find a wife
especially good for you.
Wouldn't everything be fine then?
I promise we will do this.
Until you find your wife,
Second Brother and Saihua
will not
have our wedding.
I mean it sincerely.
Enough, enough.
Look at the pitiful expression on your face.
Fourth Brother,
don't worry.
As the eldest Brother,
even if I spend my entire fortune,
I will help you find your wife.
I won't allow my Fourth Brother to live this lonely life. Don't worry.

Remove your hand.
You...you.
Remove your hands.
You.
What about me?
Third Brother,
Please think about this with your conscience.
Is Jiang Ping such an underhanded scoundrel like that?
I know what you want to say.
Are you trying to say
If I don't get married,
you won't have your wedding with Sister-In-Law Qiukui.
Stop making a scene, alright?
It was so hard for you all to find your wives.
If I become a monk and go off to the monastery,
will you have the wedding with her or not?
Wouldn't you cause a lot of suffering to sister-in-law with the delay?
Fourth Brother.
Brother, I understand.
If not, I'd return Qiukui to you!
