The Three Heroes and Five Gallants
Episode 15
I have a suggestion that I want to discuss with you guys.
Brother Shen, before leaving (Chenzhou)the Royal Uncle has already instructed
that among the three of us, you're the leader.We'll listen to you.
If you have any orders, we'll just do it.
Good.
It's also the first time for the two of you to be here.
You guys don't really understand the Royal Uncle well.
Let me tell you two,
this Royal Uncle is a fair master.
If you want people to risk their life for you,then you must be a fair master.
Everything has a price.One is one, two is two.
Right.
The Prime Minister wants us to commit a crime once per night.
I think that we must do the crimes separately.
If we do all of them together, how will Royal Uncleknow who to reward and who to punish?
At the end, the three of us will just fight each otherfor the rewards and destroy our friendship.
It's still Brother Shen that is straightforward.With that, after all the tasks are done,
the (proper) merit cannot be taken by the others.
If you failed, you can also not blame the others.
This is good.
We are all used to doing things aloneand getting rewards for oneself only.
If we're too many, it becomes bothersome.
Then it's settled.
Settled.
Then...who will do tonight's task,
who will do tomorrow's, and who will do the one the day after,
we have to set it early so we can prepare.
With this type of business, doing it earlier the better.
Tonight is most likely the best time.
Because it will catch them off guard.Tomorrow, the officials will already be alarmed.
On the day after, the different officials, whether big or small,
will have guards in their homes.
Then...I'll do the task on the day after.
Brother Shen, you being this generous,
makes us feel ashamed.
I am slightly older than the two of you.
Of course I must be a model to you guys.
I have to say one thing. Even though we'll be doingthe tasks separately, but we still have to work together.
When one enters to do his task, there must beanother one outside to serve as support.
How about it?
That will be great.
Brother Shi, you do the task for tonight.Brother Chi will guard outside.
I'll be resting.
Tomorrow, Brother Chi will do it.
I'll be the one guarding outside.
Brother Shi will rest.
The day after, I will my task and it will now beBrother Chi who will guard for me.
How about it?
We'll follow everything that Brother Shen plans.
Wish us success.
Who else among you has seen the criminal?
Responding to Minister, I never seen the criminal.
But I heard him talk.
What did you hear him say? Tell it to us in detail.
I...dare not to speak.
Whatever you've seen or heard,
just tell it all truthfully to Minister Bao.
I will not punish you. Just say it.
Responding to Minister, I was hiding behind the cabinet.
I heard that criminal say prior to killing the butler:
"You're Master has aligned himself with that evil thief Pang Ji."
"Corrupting wealth and abusing the law.Villains collude together."
"I, Bai Yutang, will get his head sooner or later."
How did you know that these were done by Bai Yutang?
Your Majesty, the criminal personally said it.
He even talked wildy
that his return is to kill me and my faction.
The one he chose this time was Governor Cao, my student.
This Bai Yutang is so weird.
Committing murder and still announcing that he did it?
These claiming to be chivalrous Greenwood (Jianghu) bandits, all have this bad habit.
If they can't be known forever (for good deeds),they will rather be cursed upon forever.Overall, they just don't want to be unheard of.
Just afraid that everyone will not know them.
When a person passes, by he leaves a name.When a swallow passes by, it leaves a sound.
This is typical of Fifth.
He will not allow that officials to randomly accuse others.
But why did Master Fifth choose only the Cao Residence?
This thing...we must make clear of it first.
This Cao person is a good official or a corrupt official?
There's really no good (clean) officialsat the present government.
Even if he won't corrupt 10,000, he will get 8,000.
Randomly choosing one will still get it right.
Then if it's like that, then he deserve to die.
Even if Fifth didn't kill him,
I will destroy the bowls he uses to eat and drink.
Nonsense!
Let me tell you, you are alreadynot a common peasant right now.
You're a government officer. You can randomly drink winebut you must not randomly say things.
Yes, Big Brother.
It's 6-star ranked, guard that is able to carry weapon.
You guys think that I'm willing to be this officer?
It's you guys who forcefully put this on me.
A few days ago, you said that this Bai Yutanghas already went to Chenzhou.
How come last night he was able to enter Governor Cao's residence committing murder and burglary?
Replying to Your Majesty, while the criminalhasn't been caught yet, I am also unable to answer that.
Your Majesty, Bao Zhen is clearly making excuses.Hope Your Majesty can investigate this matter clearly.
Your Majesty, this Bai Yutang seems to know Prime Minister's wishes and is cooperating well with them.
You...this...
Absurd!
Your Majesty, I said before the Bai Yutang is at Chenzhou
while Prime Minister Pang said that he isn't.
Hence, this Bai Yutang rushed to come out
to be the prove the Prime Minister rightthat he is indeed not in Chenzhou.
You...you're slandering me!
Your Majesty, I'm still sicking to what I said.
While we are still not able to caught the criminaland investigate this matter thoroughly,
anything can happen.
I order you to quickly ascertain the detailsof this case and catch the criminal
to set the record straight.
I will abide by your orders.
I don't believe it.I will never believe that Master Fifth did it.
Why?
Master Fifth knows of our plan.
He will not come back to interfere with us.
If it's now him, then who can it be?
It's obvious that this is an evil scheme
for the purpose of delaying Minister Bao.
Not letting Master Bao go to Chenzhou.
Then what should we do?
Since it already happened, there's no point rushing it.
Right now, the most important thing is to catchthe criminal and investigate the crime details.
But if we are not able to catch the criminal immediately,
then won't Master Bao be unable to go to Chenzou?
Once Master Fourth found Master Second,
we can also divide into two groups.One will go to Chenzhou immediately
and work with Master Fifth to create havoc there.
Making Pang Ji unable to not admitthat Master Fifth is indeed at Chenzhou.
- Master- What is it?
It's already late.Better to go and rest early already.
I check cases daily until early morning.
It's been like this for years.How come today you're urging me?
Master, the crime yesterday at the Cao's Residenceis not done by Bai Yutang.
I am afraid that it's that Pang thief's diversion scheme.
The aim is for us to focus on protecting other officials
and instead overlook our own.
I have been straightforward and upright ever since.I'm not afraid of set-ups by those thieves.
But even if it's for the sake of the citizens,Master must protect oneself well.
Checking cases is my duty.
The security of the court is you and the others' responsibility.
Master's lecture is right.I'll take my leave.
You guys guard here.Whatever happens,
never leave Master one step.
We understand.
Friend, since you led me here, better just show yourself.
Since we're here, take it easy.We better trust each other with sincerity instead.
That Bai Yutang used a sword to force my concubine
to let her say my hiding place.
My favored concubine refused to do so
and was instead beheaded by Bai Yutang with one stroke.
My pitiful Yan Hong...she's not even 16 years old yet.
I spent 300 liang silver
and brought her from Suzhou just less than 3 months ago.
But instead she died with her nannyand her maid servant in the hands of Bai Yutang.
Your Majesty, you must give me justice!
Your Majesty, Bai Yutang being this unafraid of the law committing murder and robbery in the Eastern Capital.
This is related to Kaifeng Court's Bao Zhen's incompetence.
Requesting Your Majesty to issue a decree
to punish Bao Zhen for the crime of not doing his duties.
Your Majesty, Bao Zhen was originally temporary released to arrest Bai Yutang.
But now, not only Bai Yutang is not yet captured,
but instead he has increased his crimesby killing people everywhere.
I am begging your Majesty to issue a decree to remove Bao Zhen of his position again and face interrogation
and choose another skilled official to be the head of Kaifeng Court to secure peace in the Eastern Capital.
Your Majesty, within two days,
there are already two subjectswhose residence was robbed with killings.
A total of 7 people dead.Everyone is shocked and the citizens are uneasy.
The citizens are scared.The officials' safety cannot be guaranteed.
If we let this continue, it will surely endanger the empire's foundation.
Endanger the safety of the government.May Your Majesty, think of it clearly.
May Your Majesty think about it clearly.
Your Majesty, if Minister Bao is already facing difficulties with this case,
then other persons most likely cannot do better.
Minister Wen's words are a little too extreme.
Within our Song Dynasty,
can we really not found someone skilled that can maintain peace and order in the Eastern Capital?
Minister Suen, among the current officials,who do you think can do Minister Bao's job?
Your Majesty, if you can trust me fully,
I am willing to replace Bao Zhen and head the Kaifeng Court.
It's not that I'm bragging.
Even though I cannot arrest Bai Yutangwithin just a few days time
but I can scare him to
leave Eastern Capital's Bian Liang Cityand never cross the Lightning Pond again.
Okay.
Knowing healing herbs in times of plaques.Seeing loyal subjects in times of chaos.
In our present governemnt, I need loyal subjects like you
who are willing to serve in times of crisis.
Bao Zhen
I'm here.
I'll give you three more days.If you still can't arrest Bai Yutang,
you must voluntarily send your Kaifeng Court'scourt seal to Minister Suen.
I'll abide.
Let me tell you. I'll go in first.
Don't stay guard here.
Wait for movements insidebefore you come out and provide support.
I understand.
Who is it?
I was sent here to catch you thief.
It's a girl.
I'm quite lonely these past days.Was really planning to find some girls to play with.
But you delivered yourself here instead.
Looking for death.
How dare you thief!
Aren't you still surrendering?!
Block all exits. Don't let him escape!
- Yes.- Attack!
Don't let him escape!
Chase him!
- Take him!- Yes!
Let's go!
Surround the inn. Don't let the criminal escape!
Yes!
Who is it?
We're from Kaifeng Court and are here to do our duties.
Kaifeng Court?
Our Big Brother is quite impressive.
What are you praising there for? Go guard the back.
You, go there.
Thinking of escaping?
Oh, you're quite agile. Is your sign a monkey?
If you have the guts, come down here.
You come up.
- You come down.- You come up.
Fine. Wait right there. Someone will deal with you.
Mother Tiger!
What's the matter Boss?
Can you see that monkey up the tree?
He cursed you. He said that you cannot climb trees.
What?
Dare to curse me?
What now, wild monkey?
Sorry to disrespect you...
Do you believe me now?
This old sow...
I...said it wrong.
Female tiger can also climb trees.
Are you guys blind?! Do you know who I am?
I'm from the Skills Recruitment Club!
Bro! You ran way fast!
Brother Wang Chao, you worked hard.
Oh, it's almost time.
My mission is also done. I have to go now.
I'll leave this wine to you then.
Okay.
Take care!
Selling fishes!
It's dry now so careful with candles.
Selling fishes!
It's dry now so careful with candles.
Selling fishes!
- Selling fishes!- Selling vegetables!
Selling vegetables!
(Guan Yin Monastery)
Let go of me!
I asked you so nicely yet you refused,
you made me so angry, I will stab you!
Asking me to follow you? Unless I'm dead!
You want to die?
You listen up well,
I am the great Southern Hero of the martial arts world,
the Imperial Cat Zhan Zhao!
If you follow me, I will definitely not harm you.
The town beside, has already lost a few girls.
They are all bitches who don't know how to appreciate my kindness.
Master, have mercy. We treasure chastity here.
I have no choice but to enter the monastery to pray for my parents.
I just beg of you, to quickly let me die.
You want to die? It's not so easy.
If you want to die, you must wait till I have enjoyed myself
then I will send you to heaven.
Thief! You're a beast!
Stand there!
Hang on. Friend, after fighting so long
let's tell each other's name first.
I am Zhan Zhao.
I am Han Zhang.
Tonight I have come to take revenge for those girls who have died!
So you are Second Master Han. You've finally appeared.
So what if I have appeared?
Second Rat, the two of us have no harsh feelings and have no enemity with me,
it's not that I truly want your lives
but it is because the King has given me the title of Imperial Cat,
asking me to kill you few rats.
For this you cannot blame me.
You should blame that Bao Black Mole.
Who told him to bring me to have an audience with His Majesty?
At the end, granting me the title Imperial CatIf a cat will not kill the rats, how can he be called a cat?
Stop your nonsense!
Second Rat, trying hard to resist death in front of the Imperial Cat, what's the use?
Just save some energy and obediently die here.
Who are you?
Who are you too? Doing such treacherous attack.
The one granted the title of Imperial Cat by the Emperor, Zhan ZHao.
Zhan Zhao? You are Zhan Zhao?
Since you know my great name,
then you shouldn't have meddled with this troubled water.
- You're not.- Stop your nonsense!
Master Yue!
Second Brother! Second Brother, how are you?
This guy is too...treacherous.
Hurry and help Yue...
Yue...Master Yue.
Get lost!
I'm not playing with you guys anymore.
Careful!
Aiya...Master Yue! Come...
How is it? Can you still take it?
The dart...has poison.
Let's go...
Hurry. Put him on the bed.
Careful...
Uncle...
Dart...has poison on it.
Is this one of your friend?
That's right.
The two of you go out first and wait outside.
Okay.
Fourth...
Second Brother
We can be not afraid of this Rapist Thief's martial arts.
But he's use of poison is hard to guard against with.
Second Brother, how about you take a rest first too.
What if that Rapist Thief comes back for revenge?
I'll just sit here first and try to ward him off.
You're just showing off your ability there.
You can ward him off by yourself?
Better just let me accompany you.
Second Brother
This time, if not for Master Yue suddenly appearing,the two us could have died under that criminal's hands.
Fourth, tell me some words that's from deepwithin your stomach (honestly).
Are the two of you...here to arrest me?
What arrest you?
Second Brother, why will you think that way?
Me and Big Brother are here to ask you.
Let me tell you. We have been ordered by Minister Bao to especially ask Second Brother to come with us.
Ask me?
I still will not go.
I don't care if you guys want to work for the government.
I don't want to be a government official.
Second Brother, hear me talk to you about some reasons.
Fine. I've long known of Second Brother's ideals and that you are not willing to be on the same side of government officials.
You want to leave Jianghu. You want to seclude into the jungle. But will that Pang Thief let you off?
Isn't he sent a killer that has chased you upto here already?
Fourth
Matters of Jianghu must follow the rules of Jianghu.
It should not...involve the officials.
What Second Brother said is also reasonable.
Don't worry. Me and Big Brother have already discussed it.
Once that Pang Thief is caught,we will immediately retire afterwards.
We will then return to Jianghu. Is that okay with you?
Okay.
Okay...shit!
Those schemes you guys are planning,you really think I don't know?
Aren't you...guys just want me to join you to catch Fifth?
Damn you Han Second!
What kind of person do you see me as?
I'll help the government arrest my own brother?
My good Second Brother, it's not that I'm bragging.
Even if Youngest Brother trespassed twice into the Palaceand committed the grave crime of murder,
I will still have a way to help him get rid of his crimes.
What way?
Youngest Brother has already listened to my adviceto go the Chenzhou and wreak havoc there.
Minister Bao will then use this reason to go to Chenzhou.The official reason is to catch Youngest Brother.
But secretly, it's to investigate Pang Yu.Once that Pang Thief is caught,
our Youngest Brother can then repay merit with his crimes.He'll then be alright already.
Then...I will also not go with you to Kaifeng Court.
I...will go directly to Chenzhou.
Fine...
As long as Second Brother is willing to participate,
it's fine whatever you do.
- Uncle Zhou- Han Er, Gallant Jiang,
Sit...
Uncle Zhou, how is Master Yue's condition?
The poison from the arrow that your friend gotis quite strong and also unique.
I already did every means I know but I stillcannot remove the poison from his body.
Uncle...Master Yue was hurt...by the poisonous dartbecause of...me.
Uncle, Master Yue is a rare genius among men.He's a real man.
You must think of a way to save him.
Using medicine, I can only stop the spread of the poison.
With this, I can prevent the poison from entering his heartfor 3-5 days but it will not cure him.
3-5 days...
That won't work, Uncle.
Even if we go to Eastern Capital now to ask for a doctor,
or take Master Yue back to Easter Capital,the fastest will still take 5 days of travel.
Given my experience, users of this type poison
may have came from Ehfeng Pu's (Ehfeng Fortress) Ji Family.
Ehfeng Fortress? Ji Qiang?
Uncle...if we are able to find Ji Qiang, we can get the antidote?
It's hard to say too. It will depend if they are gonna give it or not.
What if it's not from them?
We must go! I don't care if they'll give it or not.
We can only know if we go there!Giving medicine to a dead horse(We can only try everything in this difficult situation.)
Where are you going, Second Brother?
Eh...Ehfeng Fortress
We're going.
Warrior Yan
No. Hero Zhan, you're back.
So it's Master Butler.
Master Prime Minister asked me to ask Hero Zhan
if the matter with Han Zhang has already been dealt with.
I initially already had that guy in my hands
but Jiang Ping and another guy suddenly appeared.
I am not able to deal with them and let that Han Zhang escaped.
Then what you mean is
Hero Zhan is going back with a failed mission?
I used a dart and was able to hit that guy.
But that guy's skill is not below me.
There's such a good martial artist within Kaifeng Court?
Never thought that...
Oh right, did your dart kill him?
My dart has been rubbed with a unique poison.
If they can't get the antidote in time, at most,he can only live upto 5 days.
Then how are you sure that they won't be ableto find the antidote?
Because...
Master Butler was right to remind me.
This deal isn't finished yet.
If they dare to look for the antidote, I'll make surethat they will not be able to return.
Okay. Then I'll wait for you in front.
No need.
Master Butler should go back to Eastern Capital first.
Once I successfully finished my task,
I will immediately return to Eastern Capitaland report to Prime Minister.
Lastly, I'm gonna remind you again, you must remember
that you are Zhan Hao and not Yan Fei.
Master Butler's reminder is right. I am indeed Zhan Zhao.
Who is it?
It's me.
Wait.
Why did you come?
Of course it's to visit Teacher.
You don't have a Teacher here.
Teacher's wife, why must you be this way?I came from far away to visit you guys.
You won't even let me in the front door.
Is that proper in terms of emotions or reasons?
Get out! Or else I will be impolite with you already.
Teacher's wife
Who's your Teacher's wife? You animal who have no conscience.
The Ji Family doesn't have a disciple like you!
Teacher's wife, there' a saying that your teacherfor a day is your parent for a lifetime.
You guys can refuse to acknowledge me as your disciple.
But in my heart, I remember Teacher's great kindness.
If you have a little conscience andstill remembers your Teacher's kindness,
then please leave our front door and never come back again.
I can't.
You guys can choose not to acknowledge me as your disciple
- but I insist on acknowledging you two as my Teacher.- You!
Who's arguing outside?
Teacher, your disciple Yan Fei is here to visit you.
Wifey, since he's here,
you won't be able to ward him off. Just let him enter.
Your disciple Yan Fei greets Teacher.
Sit down.
Is Teacher's health good?
Not good.
Teacher's eyes are still blind?
If I can see, will you still dare to come here to cause trouble?
Teacher, don't get mad. I am just too busy these past years.
Don't have time to visit you and Teacher's wife.
You are indeed busy.Doing so many atrocities that's against the Heavens and reason.
Aren't you over exhausted yet?
That...where did junior sister go?
She went out.
Went where?
Went to a far place,
to our relatives.
I think
that not seeing her for 7 to 8 years,she probably is a grown lady now.
She's most likely more beautiful now, right?
Wifey, aren't you going to the Tang's at the back of our fortress to borrow something?
- Why haven't you gone there yet?- I'm borrowing --
Why do you still speak nonsense. Hurry and go.
Okay...I'll go...
Teacher's wife, please stay.
The three of us haven't seen each other for so long.
Better to just stay here and have a good chat.
This thing about borrowing things, you can do that anytime.
Let her go. The two of us will talk.
It's more fun if there's more people. Once junior sister is back,
the four of us will talk together.
Then that's more fun.
You...
Teacher, is there anything wrong with what I said?
Then fine.
Let us all be cozy here.
Stop beating around the bush already.
Okay. It's still Teacher that is really straightforward.
