The Three Heroes and Five Gallants
Episode 41
- What are you doing?!- Go! Hurry! Move!
- Be more refined a little, you guys...- Move!- Mother Tiger!
Hey, stinky Lao Xi'er?
Why are you hiding here? I've been looking for you!
They also managed to catch you?
- I was the first one to ask you. Why haven't you answered me yet?- Look at you, saying those words.
We must follow first come first serve, the man being more senior than a woman.
- Tie her to the post!- Yes, sir!
What's the rush? Can't you see that I'm speaking to my Lao Xi'er?
No.
- Right now you two-- Engaged!
Fine, you engaged two,
if you have any more sweet talks you have left in you, you'd better do it when you can.
In a while, there'll be many rats brought in here one by one.
Later on if you want to sweet talk to each other,
then you won't have any other chance!
You made my Lao Xi'er
be tied up so far away, how am I supposed to say these private messages?
Can't you shout it out loud?
- What's the big deal?- Yeah! Let us listen!
- Let's go!- Guard them closely!
You laugh like idiots and are no better than a dog's piss, pew!
Shameless!
Enough, female tiger!
Never mind if whether it's crap or piss they would take.
You still haven't replied to the question I just asked you!
You should reply to me first!
Didn't we already agree before? First come first serve.
This gangster didn't run away but rather wait here to set up a trap.
They must have prepared thoroughly.
If you take the rash action to attack, we will surely fall into the trap they lay for us.
It would be so much easier if Knight Xu is not in there. We can just burn down the place.
Let them run out one at a time. For sure none of them will be able to escape.
The most important task is to first rescue them.
We have to rescue them first. The attack can only be carried out during the day.
This will also greatly reduce the risk of running into an ambush.
Sounds great but the key is how we could sneak in to rescue them?
These two are really a couple of dorks. At every critical juncture,
they get into this kind of trouble.
Enough, Saihua.
Don't speak of them right now.
Those two were just trying to help, right?
Second, Fourth,
I have quite a daring idea.
Quiet! Take your time to tell us.
We can get in through the water prison again.
Get in there again?
Yuehua, you
you also know that it's a bit deep. It's at least 6 to 9 meters tall.
And those bastards may have used oil
to make its surface very slippery. It's hard to climb.
Don't you have this special sword?
Smart! This sword can cut through the iron like dirt.
I can drill a few holes on the wall.
With my skill, I can definitely climb over it.
No way! This is too risky for you.
If they manage to seal off the holes, you won't even have a chance to escape.
We have to go even if it's risky. Let's do this. I will go alone.
You should light up torches around them to divert their attention.
Do this. I have the sword and am really skilled in the water. I will go by myself.
Why are you fighting with me? I know I am not as good in the water as you,
but this little water won't be a problem for me.
Then fine. I will go with you.
Okay. This will work. You two will go together.
An extra person can help take care of the other.
No need. With another person it will also increase the danger of exposure.
Yuehwa, I can't allow you to go on putting yourself in danger.
Look at what happened to you this time. You were captured by our enemy.
If you continue like this, how can I face Magistrate Bao?
No way. Only two options.
Either I go, or I will go with you. There isn't another choice.
Fine...fine. I will decide for you two.
Two will go together, huh.
Huh what? We should get going as soon as possible.
It's almost dawn. Let's get going.
Wait...wait a moment.
Take this.
After you get there, in case you run into someone,
Spike this to give us a signal.
You're just using Thunder Fire Bombs as signal?
Stop wasting words. It must avoid water. Wrap it well.
Okay. Let's move. Go.
Brother,
you really don't need to worry so much.
We already have two hostages in our hands.
The worse case scenario
is to relocate together with these two idiots.
- Two leaders.- What is it?- We are surrounded by the government solders.
There are torches all around the manor.
Hurry up. You go there. There.
Hurry up. Those in the back. Surround it.
Guard it well. Quickly.
How many people did they really send?
All bluff and bluster. Completely bluff and bluster.
- Why do you say that?- If they truly have a large contingent of people,
they wouldn't be making so much noise.
Instead they would pretend to show that they don't have enough reinforcement
to make us take them slightly.
Then what is their goal?
Perhaps...
A tactic of distraction.
- Who?- Zhou Er Wa.
- What is it?- Open the door.
Landowner gave the order that other than the Landowner and Sir Yuchi, nobody else can enter.
- The Fourth.- The Third Brother.
- What is it? Lao Xi'er.- Hurry up and untie the rope.
Slowly. I couldn't stand up.
- You are so spoiled and not even as strong as I.- You try it after you get tied up for two days.
Enough, enough. Stop arguing. We must leave now.
I have no feelings in my lower body.
My lower body can't feel anything.
Why don't we have any signal yet?
Let's wait a little longer.
Slowly, slowly.
You, more slowly.
Brother, why are there so many masked men?
Zhan Zhou,
You have not yet died.
You have not arrested you yet. How can I die so easily?
These are all assassins I hired with great wealth.
Today you can't escape even if you grow a pair of wings.
Yan Fei, you like to fly, right? I the Fourth Master will send you to fly in the sky.
Dodge.
Get them.
They succeeded.
We got it. Attack.
Shoot the arrows.
Shoot the arrows. Shoot them quickly.
Stick!
- Mother Tiger.- Lao Xi'er, I will carry you.
Go.
Go after them.
Are you all right? Let's go to save them.
Mother Tiger, let's rest a bit here.
Stinking Lao Xi'er, be a good boy and stay here.
I will go to help them capture Yan Fei. Don't run around.
Be careful.
After two days and nights, my whole body is paralyzed.
Sister Yue, I am here.
You stay here to hold them. I will go after Yan Fei.
Okay.
It's not that easy to die.
I won't kill you scumbag today
because I want to leave you to Ji Saihua.
I will let her avenge her parents' death by killing you with her own hands.
Where do you think you are going?
Why is there no development?
Be careful. There may be an ambush inside.
Keep your eyes open.
Hold firm to your weapon.
You watch over your own safety.
You too.
Block him.
Go.
Beat him until he is dead.
Over there.
I heard it. Let's go.
Go.
Second Brother, and Second Sister-In-Law.
- What?- Go to fight.
Fight whom?
We spent the money to ask you to fight. Go.
How dare you hit the Third Master?
Liu Wang is dead.
He is dead.
All stop now. You are just a bunch of followers.
Drop your weapons and I will let you live.
Run.
Third Brother, you dress like an executioner.
- So cruel.- This seems so festive.
What are you doing? Are you playing a ghost he middle of the night?
Pull up.
Pull it up well.
Okay, as long as you are fine.
Got you.
Do you have ropes on you?
I do.
Tie him up.

Feng Yun Restaurant
- Is this guest Fifth Master Bai?- Yes.
Fifth Master, please come inside.
Brother Cheng, long time no see.
Fifth Master, how are you doing? Please sit down.
This wine smells so good.
That's right. Brother Cheng.
A few years ago I rescued a mother and a daughter and asked you to take care of them.
How about it? Are they doing well?
Why didn't you bring them with you for fun?
Too complicated to explain quickly.
Brother Cheng, why do you sigh over this?
Once upon a time, I was also someone from a family of government officials.
Even my father was but a lowly official,
my family had enough to support its needs.
Who knew two years ago,
because of a minor incident, we offended the Pang Family,
my father lost his position
and wrongly died in the prison.
The Cheng Family became completed ruined since.
I wander by myself in Jianghu.
Now I am just a guard for a security protection shop in Shanxi,
enduring hardship to make a living.
I don't have any ability to worry about others.
I didn't realize so many things happened in the past few years.
That Pang Ji bastard really deserves to die.
Not long ago, I heard of the story about Master Fifth causing a ruckus at the local government office at Chenzhou
and eventually catching Pang Yu.
And then afterwards, I heard about stories of you catching the rapist Yan Fei.
I'm really so impressed with Master Fifth.
That's why I especially invited Master Fifth here to reminisce.
Brother Chen, you've overpraised me.
Let me tell you. That Yan Fei is not as formidable as the Jianghu legends say he is.
He also doesn't have much tricks too.
Catching this person is like
catching a bastard within a jar. It's done in a blink of an eye.
Master Fifth is indeed a great hero.
Let me give you a toast.
Master Fifth, are you willing to receive it?
If you promise me one condition, I will drink this wine.
Brother Chen, since you've already ended in this state,
you still spent so much to treat me to a meal.
Let me be the one to pay for this wine, okay?
- Master Fifth--- It's settled then.
Okay. Master Fifth.
- Come. - Cheers.
So it's Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law. I'm sorry.
So it's Little Sister Lan.
You scared us married couple.
Unmarried.
Okay. Unmarried, unmarried.
Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, have you seen Master Fifth?
You're looking for Fifth?
Since I woke up, I haven't seen him already
Big Brother is getting worried so he asked me to look for him around the Magistrate's home.
Our Fifth is a person who walks with his nose raised high (arrogant).
Who did he ever give importance to?
When did he ever discussed any matter
with us his older brothers? I didn't see him.
Then I'll go look for him somewhere else.
Okay.
Jiangnan's Five Gallants are big heroes
that everyone in Jianghu praises about.
After pledging alliance to the government, they even successively achieved merits.
It really moves people.
Actually, us Jiangnan Five Rats
are just temporarily helping Magistrate Bao.
There will come a day that I still will return to Jianghu.
Master Fifth, why did you say that?
No matter what, we are Jianghu people.
The government is not a place that we would be staying long in.
Master Fifth, serving the government also has its advantages.
If you didn't join Kaifeng Court,
how could you have caught Pang Yu and Yan Fei?
If I didn't become part of Kaifeng Court,
I would have ended that criminal Pang's life with my sword long ago.
There wouldn't be these so many rules now.
Master Fifth, as they say, a person in Jianghu has so many things that out of their control.
Entering the government has the same principle.
Entering it is easy but wanting to get out will be hard.
Who says so? As long as I wanted to leave, who can hinder me?
Master Fifth, if you forcefully leave your post, I'm afraid it will make the Emperor unhappy.
Let me tell you. I'd rather make that old Emperor unhappy
than letting the Jianghu people back bite me.
Master Fifth, to tell you the truth.
The Jianghu people indeed have some negative comments about the Five Gallants pledging their allegiance to the government.
But if you leave now, I'm afraid you might cause both sides to hate you.
What do you mean? Hurry and explain it.
Master Fifth, it's a sure thing that you will offend the government.
And the Lulin, for some reason, will also not accept you.
What do you mean by some reason? Can you be more specific?
Master Fifth, try to think about it from another aspect.
If you are a person of Jianghu and you suddenly meet someone who used to work for the government
who even performed a great meritorious service in the past but suddenly left the government
to return to Lulin,
will you take some precautions towards him?
Will you doubt him as being a spy of the government? That's why...
My conscience clear. What basis do they have to doubt me?
At the bottom of this, it's still this Zhan Zhao's fault.
If not for him, why will we Five Rats come to Eastern Capital?
But Master Fifth, do you really like to go back to Lulin?
Of course.
Master Fifth said earlier that you'd rather offend the Emperor than the people of Lulin. Are these words true?
My words always have enormous weight.
If that's the case, Master Fifth, I do have an idea.
It can let Master Fifth return to Lulin
without causing your friends to doubt you
and also it can make Master Fifth a big hero uncomparable to anyone at this time.
Then why don't you hurry and say it?!
Master Fifth, after Yan Fei got transferred to Kaifeng Court,
was the trial ever started and he interrogated?
Until now, none.
Has Master Fifth ever wondered
why despite one important government criminal being locked up for so many day already,
Magistrate Bao is still not starting the trial to try the case?
This...
Let me explain to Master Fifth the principle behind it.
[Kaifeng Court]
You've been out the whole day.
Why aren't you saying anything since you came back?
Could it be that you encountered some problem?
If you have some thoughts, why don't you talk it out with your brothers.
Don't act alone anymore.
You wouldn't have done something again out of impulse, right?
Yalan, everything that I did in my life
are all based on my conscience.
That's why, don't worry. Nothing bad will happen.
Out of the way! Out of the way!
Don't make any rash moves. Everyone get out of the way.
Bai Yutang, this is Chancellor Pang's carriage, what are you going to do?
If it wasn't Pang Ji, I wouldn't have come.
Following the order from Kaifeng, we are here to capture the criminal Pang Ji.
Anyone who dare to resist will be subject to death.
Bai Yutang!
How dare you abduct the top government official in public?
What has embolden you to do this?
Don't you know that Yan Fei has already confessed?
He said that all the crimes he committed at Ehfeng Fortress and Sanghua Town
It was all you supporting from behind.
I am specifically here to arrest you for the case.
What a bunch of nonsense!
Attack. All attack him.
Subtitles were brought to you by The Rats of Hollow Island Team@Viki
- Guards! Capture him!- Yes, sir!
Take him away.
Bai Yutang!
Bai Yutang, you are committing treason and your entire clan will be eradicated.
Follow them. I'll immediately go back to the Palace to inform Her Lady Highness.
What? Somebody from Jianghu would dare to abduct in the capital
publicly abduct the top official?
They really deserved death.
If he didn't have that Bao Heizi's arrow banner of command,
Bai Yutang would dare to be bold and reckless.
That can't be. Bao Zheng will never arrest Chancellor.
It must be Bai Yutang's personal decision.
This is just too lawless.
Your Majesty, please rescue my dad quickly,
and wipe out the entire clan of Bai Yutang.
Come.
- Your Majesty.- Hurry and have Bao Zheng come here to see me.- I will obey.
Magistrate!
- Magistrate...- What happened to cause you to be this anxious?
Bai Yutang arrested Pang Ji and brought him here already.
What? What's going on?
I also am not sure of the details.
Where is Pang Ji?
Right now, he's being locked up in our prison.
Could it be that he doesn't know that without an arrow banner of command, he cannot randomly arrest people.
Especially if he's a 1-star ranked official, a top ranking official.
How can he be this muddleheaded?
No. He isn't being muddleheaded. He has an intention for doing this.
- Then what is his reason?- I also don't know yet right now but he must have his reasons.
Then let's call him over to ask him.
- Go now.- Yes.
Magistrate, Eunuch Wang has arrived.
- Magistrate Bao- Eunuch Wang
His Majesty has a decree.
I, Bao Zheng, is receiving His Majesty's decree.
Spreading His Majesty's verbal decree,
calling for Bao Zheng to enter the Palace for an audience with His Majesty.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Magistrate Bao, His Majesty is waiting.
Yes.
Bao Xing, help me change my clothes.
You...you're too reckless.
That is Chancellor Pang, His Majesty's father-in-law.
What father-in-law?
In my heart, he is totally evil person that's guilty of monstrous crimes.
As a 4-star ranked imperial guard, it's just right for me to arrest him to answer for his crimes.
Even if we are to arrest him,
we must have Magistrate's arrow banner of command first.
Big Brother, let me ask you. If you see an evil person in the streets who has done so many evil things,
will you catch him immediately or slowly go back here to ask for banner of command?
- You...- Of course I will arrest him immediately.
If we don't arrest him, how can we earn rewards? Without rewards,
- what will we use to buy wine?- Unrefined!
Even if you get rewards, you aren't allowed to buy wine.
- One half for wine, one half for mantou.- Stop that.- Better.
We're talking about serious stuff here.
Fifth Little Brother, I know that
your personality is not one
who will just go and arrest someone out of a moment of impulsiveness.
You must have a plan from the start.
With such a big thing, why didn't you discuss it with us first?
Does discussing it with you guys will be useful?
If I discussed it with you guys, you will surely stop me.
Why don't I just do it by myself and suffer the consequences alone?
At least, I won't cause my brothers trouble.
You shouldn't say it like that.
We should share blessings and hardships together.
No such thing as giving trouble to each other.
That's right.
Big Brother, you said it right.
Since you've mentioned that we should share our blessing and hardships,
then I'll say the words more clearly here.
Just say it.
Everyone think about it.
How long has Yan Fei been locked up here at Kaifeng Court?
More than 10 days.
That's right. In such a long time, he has never been called to the court.
Always being locked up in prison and Magistrate doesn't bother with his case. Why is it that way?
Fifth, whether the trial will be started and when it will be started
is a matter that Magistrate will decide on. It has nothing to do with you.
Then may Big Brother tell me what Magistrate is planning right now.
We are just lowly citizens.
How can we know the great thoughts that's within Magistrate?
Fifth Little Brother, I think that there are things
that you should discuss with your Fourth Brother first.
Your Fourth Brother only has brain and not flesh.
With his stomach full of evil knowledge, just one calculation,
he already know what's going on.
Uncle Fourth is indeed thin but with muscles and flesh.
Muscles and flesh and brain
are the same thing.
How can they be the same? If you talk about flesh,
I have them. But my flesh are all in my body
- and I don't have a good brain.- What's yours are fats.- And yours are not fat?
Will you guys suffocate if you don't talk?
About Yan Fei's matter,
I can guess more or less the reason why the trial
hasn't started until now.
W-w-what reason?
We all know what the reason. is.
Yan Fei...
Behind Yan Fei is surely Pang Ji, old Pang criminal.
I dare to guarantee that once that Yan guy goes into court,
he will surely rat out that old criminal.
May I ask that by that time,
will our Magistrate Bao catch the criminal or not?
Of course, he must be arrested. This old criminal Pang Ji has done great and evil crimes.
If this evil person gets to evade the punishment of law, that's not acceptable by Heaven's laws.
That's right, my father-in-law and mother-in-law mustn't die in vain.
We must let that Pang Ji and that Yan Fei
to pay with their lives for the lives that they took.
Right. We indeed will make them pay with their lives.
But...
arresting someone is easy but sentencing him will be hard.
That old criminal Pang, being the government's 1-star ranked official,
can't just be shook by any person.
Then...who can shake him?
- His Majesty?- His Majesty?- That's right.
It's indeed the Emperor. Only if the Emperor allows it
will we be able to shake a one-star ranked top official.
But when we came back fro Chenzhou last time,
Magistrate has already informed His Majesty of Chancellor's crimes.
With the crimes that Pang Ji did, it wont' be excessive to behead him three times.
But afterwards...
afterwards? Magistrate Bao is so smart.
Will he didn't thought about that? Magistrate Bao has already understood this matter.
Catching Pang Ji is easy but handling his sentence is too hard.
Just one decree from His Majesty and he'll need to let the prisoner go.
It's a waste of the citizen's effort, money, and is an embarrassing thing. That's why it's better not to catch this person.
Everyone, did you get it now?
These words that were said by Fourth Brother had hit the key point.
Old Emperor is unlikely to kill his father-in-law.
Then since you knew that, why must you still catch that person on your own?
If the Emperor can't dare to kill him, someone can.
Who? Who is willing to smash that father-in-law's head?
This person is currently within our residence.
He is the upright and plainspoken Magistrate Bao that enforces the law strictly and fairly.
Even the imperial brother-in-law and Royal Uncle, he dared to execute.
I believe that towards that Pang Thief, he will not be tolerant and lenient.
That's why you moved without a command?
You hope that Magistrate will kill Pang Ji?
That's right. If this Kaifeng Court
can't even handle a Pang Thief,
then what else can this Kaifeng Court do?
What's the use still of us five brother staying here?
Fifth Little Brother, you're utterly sincere
but this matter won't be that easy.
That time, it's in Chenzhou. This time, we're at Easter Capital.
Chenzhou is unlike other places. It's high above the mountains and is far from the Emperor.
But what about Easter Capital? It's so near the Imperial Palace.
Just one decree form the Imperial Palace,
Old Pang Thief will then be released.
It's not the same. It's really not the same.
