The Three Heroes and Five Gallants
Episode 28
This Fifth...
I'm after all is his Big Brother.
He never gave me any importance.
So outrageous!
How about Big Brother if we first make contact with Shen Zhong Yuan?
Then have to trouble you to make that trip.
Okay then. Yue Hua and I will go together.
If you want to go, go by yourself. Why are you dragging me?
I going by myself...
During times that I can't make decisions, at least I have someone to discuss things with.
What's there to discuss?
You'll be disguising as a Daoist priest. Then what will I be?
Disguised as Daoist child?
I won't disguise as a Daoist priest and you don't need to disguise as a Daoist child. We can disguise as two...
merchants. Let's disguise as merchants.
Just you? Merchant?
Fourth, just with that physique of yours...most likely a merchant for kids?
That's right. A merchant...see this?
Should look like my Lao Xi'er.
A round belly and reddish facial color.
That's more like a merchant.
Where is there a merchant that's so thin and small?
Just one look and you'll know he's a corrupt merchant.
Who?
Okay. Okay. We won't be disguising as merchants.
Then...then we can disguise as something else.
Let's disguise as two elegant and graceful scholars.
Elegant and graceful scholars?
Then why are we going there? To catch ghosts?
Fourth, with this physique of yours, even if it's catching ghosts, it's going to be kiddy--
Can you stop using my physique as a topic?
Fourth, I think that it will still be better if you go alone.
Using this poor Daoist priest disguise of yours to
catch ghosts will not attract much suspicion.
No one is saying that you're short.
Moreso,
you being able to learn such an outstanding ability under such harsh conditions,
is worth being admired by everyone.
You really think that way?
You guys please wait for a while. I'll go rush the dishes.
Big Brother, let's wait here for the dishes.
[Royal Envoy's Residence]
Respectfully greeting, Master.
Does Chancellor has any instructions?
This is from the Chancellor.
Royal Uncle...
Leave now.
Yes.
I won't hide it from Leader Shen.
In the letter, my father said that Bao Zheng with all his Kaifeng Court men,
are on their way to Chenzhou already.
An old saying says: "Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir (Different situations call for different action)."
You're a royal envoy as granted by a royal decree.
Plus we have men here in the Royal Family Garden.
Take a stand and face them!
Although I indeed have a lot of men here but those that are really useful
are too few.
And also, I was also just given a decree to help in disaster relief.
That Bao Zheng, after all, is a magistrate that handles the laws of the land.
You're still a royal relative.
And Chen Shimei is even the Emperor's own brother-in-law.
But in the end, he was still beheaded by Bao Zheng.
Then what do we do?
Just sit and wait? Do nothing and just be arrested?
Come.
Chancellor wants me to secretly leave Chenzhou and seek asylum with the Duke of Changsha.
Duke of Changsha...
That is the only place where we can seek refuge.
Then when do you plan to leave?
We must first send someone to communicate with Changsha.
Leader Shen...
We have incurred big loses in a lot of things.
We lost in that we weren't able to defend well our secrets.
Only you and me know about this.
That's why...
I will definitely keep my mouth shut.
Brother Zhang Han...Brother Zhang Han.
Greetings, Royal Uncle.
Ms. Zhang, no need for too much formalities.
Husband, I heard that the Chancellor from the capital sent a mail already.
Wife, I am here indeed to let you and Bao'er make preparatoins to go back to the Eastern Capital.
Return to the Eastern Capital?
It's more and more unsafe here already.
Returning to the Eastern Capital will be better.
Then when do we leave?
Do the preparations the whole day tomorrow then leave the day after. I will send men to especially escort you.
One day? Why is it so hurried?
I still have a lot of things that I won't be finished packing.
Don't ask anymore!
Royal Uncle, I'll go get you a new tea.
[Royal Envoy's Residence]
Master Han, you're going out?
Right. I'll go buy some medicines.
Master Han, you're very skilled in martial arts and even in medical arts.
You're not only was able to treat your own injuries,
but now you're also treating your other brothers.
You're praising too much. Thank you. Thank you.
Master Han, careful on your travel.
Take care. Take care.
Sister Zhang Li...
Brother Shen...
Pang Yu suddenly informed Madam earlier
that she should take little young master back to Easter Capital on the day after tomorrow.
Pang Yu received a letter from the Old Thief.
Saying that Bao Zheng will bring men
and come to Chenzhou. I reckon that Pang Yu is preparing to escape already.
I saw him hide a letter in a little black box inside his closet.
Little black box?
We must get this little black box.
This one can be done anytime.
No rush. Wait for me to tell you.
He won't be planning to let me escort Madam, right?
He won't. He will take you to Changsha.
Customers! Customers! I'm here to sing you guys some news!
If you have money, please spare some for me. If you don't, just cheer.
♪ Fellow customers, please sit for a while. Listen to me sing about a weird story song ♪
♪ Weird things happen yearly. ♪
♪ But this year, weird things that happened are quite many. ♪
♪ The yellow cow went up the tree last night. ♪
♪ The soy bean today blew off the pan. ♪
♪ Yesterday, the monk wore a green hat (was cheated by his lover). Today, Master is walking forward. ♪
♪ Master, you just keep going forward. ♪
Fourth?
How is it? Handsome, right?
I thought that it's Fifth.
Nonsense! Is there any news regarding Fifth Little Brother?
Nothing.
That's strange. Why aren't there any news yet from Fifth Little Brother?
There is.
Can you not be panting that much?
There are other news.
I heard from Old Shen that Pang Yu
will...run.
You're saying that the four of them...they really don't want to be some Imperial Guards?
It's all to help Magistrate Bao that's why they agreed to temporarily stay in his residence?
Each one has their own ambition. You can't force it.
You also shouldn't be too petty
and should be observing Pang Yu's every movement.
You must prevent him from both escaping and destroying evidences.
That's why, you must be very sincere in doing things.
The main point is I don't want to have any association with Kaifeng Court.
If there are anything that you guys can't solve, just give it to me and I'll deal with it by myself.
Once you've done the task, you still won't see them?
Once I've done here, I still have to go find Zhan Zhao.
Since we are to confront a powerful enemy soon, I won't be arguing with you anymore.
For now, I'll just communicate with you alone.
Let's meet here every afternoon.
This Fifth...
Never gave importance to me. Not giving me any respect at all.
If I ever bump into him,
then I'll use that wet cow leather
and tie him up tightly. Let's see if he can still he can still fight.
I think that Master Fifth also has his predicaments.
What predicaments can he have?
It is publicly known that the reason Magistrate Bao
is coming to Chenzhou now is to catch him.
If he comes here at his own initiative,
will we consider it as being caught or a surrender?
Will you guys let him go or let him stay? All are not easy choices.
Moreover, if we let Thief Pang know about this,
he will again use this thing to create issues.
Big Brother!
- Fourth Little Brother.- Big...
Fourth...
Master Yue is also already here.
Big Brother,
I was able to contact Second Brother.
- How was it?- How are they doing?
- Pang Yu is planning to escape.- Escape?
Where will he be escaping to?
Changsha.
Could it be that he plans to ally with the Duke of Changsha?
Then let's hurry and inform Magistrate Bao.
Miss Yalan, it will be too late.
Think about it. Magistrate Bao is still in Easter Capital and hasn't set off yet.
Even if we hurry and go back now, we will not make it in time.
Fourth, your brain is the quickest among us.
Think of an idea for us.
Big Brother, I think don't bother.
Fourth's ideas are all soaked in medicinal water, all are bitter.
In what way have I offended you?
Master Yue, you give the plan.
From what I see,
this seems like a good opportunity for us.
What? Opportunity?
Smart! What Master Yue means is
if this time we can get evidences of Pang Thief conniving with the Duke of Changsha,
this way, it will be a grave crime.
The Emperor will definitely get so angry
Maybe, their whole family will lose favor.
Maybe, it will be the end for their whole family.
Or else, just killing Pang Yu,
will not be able to shake Pang Family's roots.
Brilliant.
What Master Yue means is
we have to get both the letter written by Pang Thief to the Duke of Changsha
and the reply letter of the Duke of Changsha to Pang Thief.
This way...even if the Emperor want to defend the Pang family,
he won't be able to.
Hey...
Big Brother, did you notice that?
This Fourth and Master Yue singing at the same tune...
This even...
They said it so well.
Right...
Just ordinarily good. Ordinarily good. It's just that we think alike.
Great minds think alike.
Then what should we do next?
Master Fourth, you suggest a plan.
Yes. Next,
I'll be doing it alone.
I'll just take the trouble to go to that Changsha and follow the messenger.
I must get
the letter that Pang Thief wrote to the Duke of Changsha
and then intercept the Duke of Changsha's reply letter to Pang Thief
and then I'll just kill the messenger.
This way, we'll be able to get all the evidences.
Good. Their crimes will be as real as the mountains and they won't be able to escape their crimes.
Then I'll just use that cow leather and tie them up tightly.
Don't won't be able to get it off even if they tumble.
But I think that this thing don't need your appearance yet.
Why?
Because there's someone who's a better choice than you.
- Who?- It must be me.
Bai Yutang.
Fifth?
Good!
Master Yue said it too right!
What Master Yue means is
Fifth is the best choice for the job.
Everyone, think about it. Fifth right now is a criminal.
This chance of merit should rightfully be given to Fifth.
If Fifth goes and achieve merit, then he can use that to counter his past crimes, then he'll already be alright.
Fourth...
When did you become Master Yue's
reply bug? He'll say the first part and you finish his statement.
How can you call it an echo bug?
Butt-following bug.
This is called echoing each other at a distance. Echoing each other at a distance.
Wife, be careful on your travel.
After some time, when things settle down here in Chenzhou,
I will go back to Eastern Capital and reunite with you.
Husband will be left here alone.
You must also be careful at all times. You'll be left alone to take care of yourself now.
Wife don't need to worry.
Little sister Zhang...
Madam...
It's all thanks to you for accompanying me to live through these frightening days.
The two of us can also be considered as friendship made in averisty.
It's just that we've met late and will be separated this soon.
Madam, don't worry. Once I get a free time, I'll go to Eastern Capital to visit you.
You must come.
Madam, don't worry.
I will definitely bring little sister Zhang
to Wife's side.
Madam, it's already late.
You better get in the carriage already.

This Pang Yu is trying divert people's attention
and giving people false perception
that he's going back to Eastern Capital.
At present, the most important thing is
to figure out who will he really be sending
to go to Changsha.
Pang Yu...
is a rough diamond (rough outside, deep/beautiful inside).
He will definitely do some treacherous schemes.
That's right. What if he
sent more than one people that will move separately
such that we don't know who to follow.
We must tell the people outside
to keep a good watch.
Leader Shen!
Brother Zhang. Master asked you to go and see him.
Okay. Okay.
Respectfully greeting Royal Uncle.
Leader Shen, please sit down.
Oh, thank you.
Royal Uncle called for me
for what reasons?
Leader Shen,
about the thing I talked to you about yesterday,
after thinking about it the whole night,
I've finally decided already.
Leader Shen, this time, I can only depend on you.
That is to let me deliver a letter to Changsha?
I really don't have any other person that I can trust.
Royal Uncle is giving me so much unworthy affection.
I will definitely do my best.
This time, I won't be writing any letter anymore.
I'm relying everything to Leader Shen. When you arrive at Changsha and meet the duke,
just verbally tell him what happened.
But Royal Uncle,
if Duke won't see any letter, how can he trust me?
The Duke has a lot of allies in the government.
I'm sure he knows better than anyone else
what my situation is now.
He will be expecting that I will be allying with him now.
I understand already.
I will tell Royal Uncle's matter in details clearly
once I see the Duke.
If the Duke sees that I didn't write any letter, then he will definitely also not make a reply letter.
That's why, everything relies on Leader Shen
to relay the messages verbally.
Don't worry. I will definitely not say any words to others.
It's also not that important.
If Leader Shen will get drunk
or talk in your dreams or was not careful and leaked it out,
it's also okay.
There's really no hard evidence about it. I'll just deny it.
Leader Shen doesn't need to worry too much about it.
- When will I be setting out?- Tomorrow morning.
I got it.
Oh, right.
I still have one thing to report.
Say it.
It's about little sister Zhang.
This Zhang Han has already loosen up a bit
by my constant advice.
Let's lay this thing aside first for now. Let's just talk about it again once we're at Changsha.
Okay. But I should at least give him a reply, right?
Pacify Zhang Han first
by telling him
that we'll discuss about his sister's matters after a few days.
This Pang Thief is really quite cunning.
There is actually nothing written on the letter.
Isn't that right? Too cunning.
Pang Thief won't leave a letter.
He then left himself an option.
It's Master Yue's turn to talk.
Yup. Say it.
Say what?
Wasn't it usually like that?
When Master Yue finished saying something, then it will be Fourth who will talk.
When this Fourth finished talking,
it would be Master Yue's turn to talk again.
Third!
We are discussing about serious stuffs here, okay? Stop pestering endlessly already, okay?
- I...- Third!
How come you keep on going against Fourth?
That's right.
No. No. Big Brother,
I'm just curious
why this Fourth kept agreeing with Master Yue.
Yes.
Third Sister-in-law, stop agreeing already. Control him. Control him.
Ah?
Oh!
Be refined!
Enough already. Let's talk about serious matters.
I...tomorrow night,
will go once more to the Royal Family Residence.
I'll take the chance to steal the letter that Pang Ji wrote to Pang Yu.
Why is it tomorrow night?
Because Shen Zhong Yuan will be leaving by tomorrow morning.
If Pany Yu discovers that the letter is missing tonight,
he will definitely change his mind.
Brilliant!
Master Yue's plan can be described as taking away the firewood under the cauldron (striking at the root).
This way, the information that they will get will all be for naught.
Wasn't I right? They kept singing the same tune.
Story telling has started again.
I really can't understand it. How come it must be me who's going to steal that letter?
Given Ji Saihua's ability now, stealing this letter for her is too easy.
Once the letter is lost, she will be the first to be suspected.
Even if I'm the one who will go and steal it,
Ji Saihua will still be suspected.
Tomorrow night, just let her be with Pang Yu at all times.
Working with you guys is really so troublesome.
I also want to just kill Pang Yu. This would be less worries and less trouble for us.
- But--- Don't say anything anymore.
Stop telling me that following the law reasons of yours.
I really can't understand.
You're not that old and you're not even a Kaifeng Court official officer but how come you act like one?
Drop it. You won't understand even if I say it. I don't want to argue with you.
I'm also just drunk too.
- Royal Uncle.- Little sister Zhang, what do you need from me?
Responding to Royal Uncle, Madam and little young master
have already successfully reached the capital.
I also should go back to the Skill Recruitment Club now.
Why must you?
There are a lot of rooms here. It's as if you can't live here.
I living alone here.
I fear that it's inconvenient in a lot of ways.
You're afraid that other might gossip?
Hope Royal Uncle can understand.
Little sister Zhang,
has your brother already told you
about us?
What thing?
Brother hasn't said anything at all.
Look at you. You're blushing already.
And still claims that he didn't say anything. He must have said something already.
Royal Uncle, my parents
died since I was little. I treat my brother as my father.
I follow everything that my brother arranges.
Such a virtuous lady.
Fine. I'll go with your will.
In the future, I'll just tell everything to your brother.
Then I'll take my leave.
Ms. Zhang, wait.
Ms. Zhang, I've thought about it.
I'll just move out.
You should just continue living here.
How can I dare trouble Royal Uncle like that?
What troubling me?
Who here in the Royal Family Garden don't know, even my wife knows,
that I don't usually come home to live here.
That...of course, if in the future,
I get to marry little sister,
then this kind of things will not happen anymore.
I'll come home to live. Come home to live.
What does where you live have to do with me?
Ms. Zhang,
oh, right. When Madam left,
she took with her a lot of valuable things here.
But there were still a lot of valuable things that were left.
That's why, miss should just temporarily for me...
for Madam,
help us look after them. How about that?
Then it's settled. It's settled then.
If you can't get used to it,
I'll look for some maid servants to come over and serve you.
No need. No need, Royal Uncle.
I am a servant myself.
How will I be used to ordering others around?
What are you saying, little sister Zhang?
Madam has always treated you as a real little sister.
I also treat you--
In short, we are one family. That's why
Ms. Zhang shouldn't be polite anymore.
Look at you. I'm not a tiger.
Are you afraid that I'll eat you or something?
Royal Uncle, I have always been respectful
towards Royal Uncle.
Hope that Royal Uncle can also show me a little respect.
Okay. Okay.
Then...then let's maintain a...
maintain a minimum distance. How is 3 feet?
Three feet.
Is that okay?
Royal Uncle,
I'll take my leave now. You also should rest early.
Hey, Ms. Zhang. Ms. Zhang...
How can that be possible? Look at this road,
so long and distant. I will be needing a body guard.
There are a lot of people in this house. What are you afraid of?
Ms. Zhang, no matter how many people is in here,
it can't compare to you escorting me. It makes me--
Three feet. Three feet.
Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!
- Wait a minute.- Where?
The assassin has come again.
- Royal Uncle, hurry and go!- No way. No way. Let's go together.
Little Sister, stay here and wait for me for a while, okay?
Royal Uncle, hurry and stay in your room. Don't come out anymore.
It's the Second Rat Han Zhang's Thunder Bombs.
Royal Uncle, let's hurry and go to the underground tunnel.
Right. Go into the underground tunnel. Into the underground tunnel.
- Let's go.- Go. Go. Go.
Subtitles were brought to you by The Rats of Hollow Island Team@Viki
Go down.
I'll also go down with you?
Aiya, what time is it already? What's there to still qualm about?
You walk in front.
There's an assassin! There's an assassin! Let me protect you! Let me protect you!
Royal Uncle!
How is there an assassin in here?
No assassin?
That scared me to death. With everything that was happening these past days, it's causing me to be so jittery.
Little sister Zhang, you stay in front. Stay in front.
If there's really any assassin, I'll protect you. I'll be your back support.
Royal Uncle!
I can't see anymore. I can't see anything.
Ms. Zhang. Ms. Zhang. Where are you?
Ms. Zhang...
Ms. Zhang.
How come I can't see anything anymore? I've finally found you.
Can you see anything?
- Of course, I can see.- How come I can't see anything?
Then you take me away. You lead me.
- Walk straight ahead.- Straight ahead. Okay, walk straight head. It must be in front...
Are there 3 pots of wine in front?
Then let's go to the left. To the left.
Is there a chair and a table there?
- A table.- Royal Uncle!
There's a chair there. Hurry and sit down there.
- Aiya! I can see it.- Sit down, Royal Uncle.
I can see again. I can see again, Ms. Zhang.
You sit too. Sit too. Sit here.
No need. There's also a seat here.
I'm just afraid that the other stool's dirty.
Ms. Zhang...we sooner or later
will be husband and wife.
Stop talking about these rules already.
Royal Uncle,
although I came from a very poor family,
but I'm not a slut! Hope Royal Uncle,
can conduct oneself with more dignity.
Little sister Zhang, look. Look.
There are no outsiders here.
Who will know?
The heaven and earth know. The gods and ghosts know.
You and I know.
Little sister Zhang,
everything is good about you
except that you lack a bit of fun.
Royal Uncle, I know
that I am a wild sparrow. I'm not fit to be brought in public (as a wife).
Hope Royal Uncle can forgive me.
Little sister Zhang! Little sister Zhang!
The more you don't give importance to me,
the more I want to have you.
Royal Uncle!
- I'll go up and take a look!- Stop right there!
As a servant guard,
how can you just leave me alone during a time
when I'm in danger? If you leave, who will protect me?
Fine. Then may Royal Uncle
act more decently!
Sure. Then I'll maintain 3 feet distance.
You dare to hit my butt?
Go!
Good. Mother tiger!
Let's go!
Mother Tiger! Let's go already!
I don't want to. They dared to touch my butt!
Stop! Everybody stop!
You guys dared to touch Mother Tiger's butt?!
Go already!
Little sister Zhang, don't worry already.
You sit there. I'll sit here.
There's a table between us.
Isn't that already more than 3 feet?
Royal Uncle, this underground tunnel exits where?
It doesn't lead to anywhere. It's a dead end.
Were you the one who asked this to be done?
No. This mansion previously was own by a retired official.
As an official for so long, it was natural that he has amassed a large number of money and treasures.
Once you have more wealth, you worry that bandits will come and steal them.
Hence, he made an underground tunnel like this.
If there's a situation, he can use it to hide from danger. If there's none, he can use it to hide his treasures.
Then...then how come it became Royal Uncles' Royal Family Garden?
This corrupt official was insatiably greedy. The citizens really hated him.
When I arrived, I just went with the citizen's will
to punish him for his crimes and then confiscate all his wealth.
This mansion then was changed to my Royal Envoy's Residence.
Because I'm a royal relative,
people then start calling this place as the Royal Family Garden.
Then it means that Royal Uncle is even an upright magistrate that kills the corrupt to help the poor.
It's nothing. It's nothing.
This...relieving the people in disaster areas needs immediate money. The funds given by the government are so inadequate.
After I arrived here at Chenzhou,
I killed a few rich and cruel corrupt officials and overlords.
Suppressed a lot of trouble making groups of hoodlums and hecklers.
But doing good things still doesn't seem to work.
A lot of villains and evil people,
whom after I've offended, created so many false rumors that greatly hurt me.
Royal Uncle, false rumors can't fool everyone forever.
The citizens will naturally have a steelyard in their heart.
These words, should still be explained into two sides.
Look.
The assassins are gone.
Let's go.
- Were they really gone already?- They're gone.
- You saw it clearly?- I saw it clearly.
Master.
- Where are the assassins?- They've escaped.
Then what are you guys still waiting for?
Waiting for a night snack? Aren't you guys going to hurry and chase after them?!
- Go!- Yes.
Little sister, I'll go and take a look. Stay and guard here.
Little sister, how about you go and get a candle and then accompany me upstairs.
Yes, Royal Uncle.
You walk in front.
Wait. Wait.
Royal Uncle! What are you doing inside?!
Nothing.
Royal Uncle! What's wrong with you, Royal Uncle?
Careful on what you're stepping on.
Royal Uncle! Walk slowly!
