The Three Heroes and Five Gallants Episode 11
Did you see that?The Prime Minister has already eaten it.
How can the Prime Minister harm us? Come...
Eat puffer fish...Come...taste some fresh food...
When it's time to eat, don't eat.
- Xuen Rong, you too get a bowl.
- Fine, fine.- Everyone, please...
This soup should be good.
Drink...drink enough.
This year's puffer fish is really fresh.
Master Wu! You've just eaten up the puffer fish and drank wine...
- Aren't you afraid of indigestion?- I...
Puffer fish...Puffer fish...
Ah! Oh my god!
Master Wu is dying!
Someone's been poisoned by puffer fish!
Who's shouting?
I'll go take a look.
Oh no!
Prime Minister!
Master Wu got poisoned from the puffer fish!
Master...
Ah! I'm also unwell!
Uncle...
It's not good.
This year's puffer fish seems problematic. Many people got poisoned.
A lot of people have fainted already.
I don't want to die yet...
This...
What should we do?
Uncle, don't panic first. I heard from Boss Huang
that only one thing can cure puffer fish poisoning.
- What thing?- Ren Zhong Huang
- What is Ren Zhong Huang?- Ren Zhong Huang is also called Golden Extract.
It's...the feces in the lavatory.
Nonsense. How can one eat such thing?
Isn't there any other way?
Horse urine, but you must drink more.
That can't also be drank.
Father-in-law, the situation has already happened.
- Why not have a try?- I won't drink. You drink.
Aiyo...it hurts...
Father-in-law, if we want to live,
drinking a little horse urine...I'll drink.
Something so dirty, how can one drink it?
Go get me 1 bowl.
Hurry, go!
I have an antidote...I'll immediately go get it...
Come with me to get some horse urine.
The antidote is here! Just drink it and everyone will be fine.
Hurry...move faster...
Hurry and save people.
- Get out of the way!...- Hurry and bring it here!- Here's the antidote.
Everyone
As the old saying goes,
only through trials and tribulations
can one achieve glory and wealth.
Anyone who doesn't want to die yet,
should not resent it for being dirty,
for being smelly.
Drink it.
Is my acting okay?
Try to look dead better.
Master Qian, I went to get you a bowl of antidote.
- Hurry and drink.- Master's poison is worse than mine, Save him first.
Master Wu, the antidote is here. Hurry and drink.
Go to hell!
I will never drink horse urine.
Only you corrupt officials
will drink horse urine.
Men! Arrest him!
Come, drink horse urine. Come and drink!
- Come...- Catch him...
Catch him...
Catch...
Put in some strength!
- Don't forget to drink horse urine. It'll give you strength.- Catch him...
Catch him.
Protect Master. Let's go back inside.
Hurry and assist Master...
Pleased to meet you!
Subtitles brought to you by The Rats of Hollow Island Team@Viki
Pleased to meet you...
Pleased to meet you.
I still don't have a descendant.
Go to hell!
Go...
Pleased to meet you.
You go over there, and you go that way! Search!
- Search carefully! Hurry!- Yes!
Don't talk. Come with me.
What do you plan to do?
I'll ask you. Where is Zhan Zhao?
What Zhan Zhao? I don't know.
Zhan Zhao is here in your Mansion. How can you not know?
I am the Prime Minister's nephew. I don't live here, I only come if there's something to do.
Since that's the case, keeping you alive has no use.
Don't...I'll tell you...
- You can leave now.- Yes.
Aiya, you're really bad.
If that old thing suddenly entered and saw us, what would we do?
Don't worry. That old thing ate a mouthful of feces today.
His mouth is so smelly. He definitely won't come.
Aiya...I told you not to touch me there.
Aiya...you're annoying me to death. Why are you so bad?
Don't...
Master...what happened?
Young Master? Nephew?
Pleased to meet you.
Old Xi!
Coming! Female tiger.
Pleased to meet you!
- Master...it's not good, master...- What's the problem now?
- There have been explosions outside. Quickly go and hide, Master!- This is my mansion. Why should I hide?
Master, hurry. Go inside and hide. Master...
Zhan Zhao, come out and see me!
If you're a man, stop hiding.
Who is it causing a commotion outside
in the middle of the night?
I am Bai Yutang, the Sleek Rat of JIangnan's Five Rats, .
I am especially here to visit Zhan Zhao.
What Rat? What Five?
Not sleeping in the middle of the night,
so annoying!
Can't you speak a human language? Turn over the man in your house!
My Master is not home.
I remember I already closed the doors.
How did you come in?
How would such a low wall stop me?
THIEF!
You're a woman, how can I be afraid of you? Come out!
Coming!
Get out fast or I'll use the knife in my hand.
Ah no--it's a sword--to pierce you.
Miss,
can your embroidering hand hold onto a sword?
Of course. Two hands!
Even if you can hold it, can you use it?
Of course.
A few days ago, Master Zhan taught me a couple of moves
to use as self defense.
Miss, you learned two moves, and you're already facing me?
Master Zhan said that women learn sword use for self defense.
Two moves are enough.
Alright, alright. Then how about this.
If you can disarm me tonight,
then I'll just consider it your win.
Alright.
First move. Second move.
One, two, one two...
One, two...
Aiya...I sprained my foot.
Are you alright?
I'm fine now.
Let go!
I had enough of you woman! I'm afraid of you already, alright! You won!
It hurts...
A good man will not fight with a woman.
Not right...
She's not really some weaving lady.
She is Zhan Zhao.
Hey, Fifth...where did you go? You look pale.
Are you ill?...Are...you alright?
- Hey! Fifth! What are you doing?- Fifth brother,
- You saw Zhan Zhao, right?- Zhan...
Fifth Uncle, since you saw Zhan Zhao, then why didn't you...
grab him by his tail and drag him out? Cane him to a pulp?
Sister-in-law, there are things you don't know yet.
What Fifth Brother did is called being mature and calm,
having both wisdom and courage.
Let me tell you. In a small way, he's giving us all a chance to gain merit.
In a grand way, what he did is called getting rid of evil for the people.
What do we do? We won't fight a one-to-one duel with Zhan Zhao.
We'll follow Martial Arts rules and fight on a stage.
Fighting on a stage, 10 Zhan Zhaos, aren't enough to defeat our Fifth Brother.
Fifth Brother deliberately let him go. What for?
To make sure that Zhan Zhao is caught. Zhan Zhao is treacherous and cunning,
he'd throw you some flying needles or poison bombs, and we'd never catch him again.
We must catch Zhan Zhao. Not only will Justice Bao thank us,
the whole population will thank --
thank us. Right?
You say something! Am I right?
Second Brother...
how do we reply?
Then...just shout "right".
Ready, set, go...Right...Right!

Come out. He's run away.
What?
Run away?
Aiya, I...
already foresaw this earlier.
This Zhan Cat is afraid of me. He fears that a blow from my hammer
will crush him to pieces.
Wrong! He's afraid of the Female Tiger
- biting him to death.- Right...biting him to death.
This is surely prematurely alarming --
See how handsome Fifth Brother looks today.
It looks like last night, that Mountain-Rat Xu Qing was here.
Could it be that yesterday evening's ruckus was caused by the Five Rats?
I am afraid so.
You...hurry and report this case to the local court.
Have them issue wanted posters and capture the Five Rats.
May Father-in-law clarify how I should report this case?
Do I report it as a theft crime or a murder crime?
Murder crime. Just say that the Five Rats
yesterday killed 2 personsnat the Prime Minister's Residence.
Master Prime Minister... reporting to Master Prime Minister.
Second-in-command is back from Chenzhou. He says he has something important to report.
- Tell him to come in.- Yes.
Your Excellency!...
Master, something bad happened.
What is it now?
The 10,000 gold taels that you were having brought here,
were all stolen by those responsible for the transport,
Deng Che and his accomplices.
- The one supposed to deliver it...stole it?- Exactly right.
- Useless...a bunch of useless fools! - Please Prime Minister, refrain from getting mad.
Master wants me to tell you that the Sleek Rat Bai Yutang and the River Rat Jiang Ping
of Jiangnan's Five Rats, had recently caused great trouble at the Imperial Family Garden in Chenzhou.
That's why, this time, it's probably them conniving with Deng Che
who stole the gold. So I hope that Your Excellency
will take extra care here.
This is...shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
- Last night, the Five Rats were here already.- Leave!
A bunch of useless fools.
Father-in-law, please don't get mad.
Actually, we can think about this situation in another light.
Think what?
Like, although we lost 10,000 taels of gold,
we were able to eliminate Black Bao.
Within the court, no one will dare to go against you now.
Comparing what we gained and what we lost, they're almost equal. This is actually a good thing.
Good thing? For you, they are equal. But for me...this...
I have a gutsy suggestion.
- Speak. - We could bribe Bianliang's Head Guard and make him suggest to the Emperor
to let Bao Zheng out of prison temporarily to solve the murder in our Mansion.
Let the Five Rats and Kaifeng Court fight head on.
Let them both get wounded from this fight.
Father-in-law, you will observe from above
and wait to get the catch like a fisherman.
No way...It was so hard to make him go inside.
Letting him out and allowing him to return to his court...No way...
- What if we let Zhan Zhao come back and make him deal with the Five Rats? - We can't.
The matter at Chenzhou is also important.
Just do this, tell the Head Guard of Bianliang to alert the whole city and catch the Five Rats.
Let me say this. Yesterday, causing that big commotion, I really felt happy.
But I feel that we didn't hurt that Pang Thief's vital parts.
This government will not let Minister Bao out easily.
It's because you were too cautious.
If you'd listened to me and killed Pang Ji with a blow, we wouldn't have all these loose ends today.
Pang Ji, is a first-rank official. Can you just kill him that easily?
First-rank official? But in my eyes, he's inferior to a dog's butt.
Killing that Pang Thief is easy. But after killing him, then what?
Then what again? You're thinking too much.
That...from what you're is saying, you seem to have a plan already.
Share it with us then.
I think...that if we kill villain Pang,
there's a high chance that the Emperor will let Magistrate Bao go.
Won't that solve everything already?
Fifth Master, don't forget, Magistrate Bao would be released to capture us.
Then that will depend on if he has the ability to do that or not.
By that time, we only have 3 choices.
What 3 choices?
Admit to the crime, surrender and pay for killing that Pang Thief.
Please say the second choice.
Run away as far as possible and hide into rat holes.
Change names and identities, and never be seen in the Jianghu again.
Please give the third choice.
The third choice is to kill Magistrate Bao.
Then start a killing spree and executeany corrupt official on sight.
Kill them all, not leaving anyone behind.
We might just as well rebel openly. Fight up to the throne room
and take over the Song Empire. Then, you five rats
can take turns to sit on the Dragon Throne and be Emperor.
Master Yue
are you making fun of us?
Fifth Brother's words are not harsh.
You are making fun of us! Those 3 choices you just gave us
are all impossible!
Give one feasible method.
At this point, how can there be a plan that will satisfy both sides?
One mistake, thousands of regrets.
I know that you're blaming me, right?
All this was caused by me. You have a grudge against me.
I'm indeed blaming you, so what?
I suddenly thought of... a plan that will satisfy both sides.
Then why don't you share it with us?
How about this, Master Yue.
You tie us, Five Rats, in a bundle
and take us to the Emperor in exchange for Justice Bao.
You!
He's joking...
I just said the half that you did not say. Isn't it?
You bastard!
Who do you think you are? You dare to be arrogant here?
- I will teach you a lesson today! - Don't...
Look at yourself first and see if you're prepared for it.
Bai Yutang!
Enough...! You...all you do here is fight.
This...
this...Pigs (=accomplices) fighting each other!
What's going on with you?
Fourth and Fifth Brother, who is against who?
This seems like a fight is starting.
Start what fight? This is killing a pig for new year.
Didn't you hear Second Brother say, pig against pig?
Aiya...don't get mad!
- Fifth Master, where are you going?- Shut up!
Second Brother, should we go after...?
Sit...!
Master Yue...
Our Fifth Brother just has that attitude.He doesn't mean what he says, don't mind him.
Master Yue...I have something to tell you.
Master Yue, about this thing, it's really my brother who is at fault.
We had agreed to meet with you at Bianliang but we didn''t.
The truth is, we really had something very important in hand.
We couldn't leave then.
- Even if you don't say it, I know.- Right...
Overall, all of this is my fault.
At that time, when I saw that the gold
wasn't in the wine pots, I had an idea.
I wanted to humiliate the Imperial Cat, Zhan Zhao.
I didn't have the chance to inform you, causing this big problem now.
I hope that Master Yue can forgive me. I...
Stop!
Don't, Yue Hua!
- Fifth Master - Hey, Miss Yalan...
Strange, isn't it? I also feel it's strange.
When was Fifth like this in this lifetime?
Having a knife pointed at his throat and not strike back?
Too strange!
Unless he also feels a little guilty about Yue.
That can't be.
These Five Rats, because of Zhan Zhao,
are venting their anger on me.
With Bao Zheng's imprisonment, these Five Rats' anger towards me worsened.
I hope that Your Highness can advice His Majesty
to sentence Bao Zheng to death earlier and prevent any more trouble.
I heard that Chen Lin is requesting Empress Dowager
to speak for Bao Zheng.
Since Bao Zheng solved the case of the Crown Prince's exchange,
the Empress Dowager treats him as her savior.
Once the Empress Dowager intervenes, the Emperor must consider her advice.
My Lady,
from old, struggles in the Inner Palace are not inferior to those in the battlefield.
Wanting to avoid being involved, is truly
wishful thinking.
Then you tell me, what am I supposed to do?
You must...get rid of that Chen Lin.
Cut off the connection of Empress Dowagerwith the outside world.
Prevent Bao Zheng getting any news from the palace.
The Emperor favors Chen Lin very much.
I heard that a few days ago, he had breathing difficulties and was coughing nonstop.
I heard that it's due to excessive work during his earlier years.
Now, he's become very sickly.
The Emperor especially granted him a 100 year ginseng
and medicinal wine
to get rid of his illnesses and to extend his life.
100 year ginseng?
This is really Heaven sent chance.
Head Eunuch, it's very late already. Aren't you resting yet?
Her Highness asked me to be on duty at Nanqing Palace.
- Eunuch Guo, walk slowly.- Go then.
Your slave, Guo An, greets Your Highness.
Your uncle, Guo Hai, died about 3 years ago, right?
Your HIghness, it's exactly 3 years already.
I heard that you entered the palace when you were 8 years old.
You were taken care of by your uncle.
Being able to be the Head Eunuch, a highly desirable position,
is also due to your uncle leading you.
When Uncle passed away,
Your Highness put a lot of effort to help me keep my position.
I will never forget this debt.
The sages said that one can't live under the same sky as one's parents enemies.
The one who killed your uncle is as if he'd killed your parents.
Didn't you ever think of seeking revenge for your uncle?
I only seek to preserve my own life,that's enough already.
Right now, there's a chance
but I don't know if you dare or not.
I won't dare!...
I have a pitcher of medicinal wine here.
This wine doesn't contain any poison at all.
I can drink it. You can drink it. Anyone can drink it.
The only one who can't drink it is Chen Lin.
A few days ago, the Emperor granted Chen Lin a casket of 100-year old ginseng.
and told him to drink it mixed with wine morning and evening.
The drug I have in this wine is the exactopposite of that ginseng.
Someone who has taken ginseng wine for several days
and then takes one cup of this wine by mistake,
after 7 days,
will suddenly develop an acute illness and die.
Godfather, making him drink this wine is indeed rather hard.
We might arise his suspicions.
I think that it will better to mix this secretly with the ginseng wine.
That could work.
But you must do it carefully and not let anyone see you.
Every new moon, the Emperor goes to Zhonglie Hallto light incense to Kou Zhu [palace maid who, legend says, saved the newborn Emperor.]
Chen Lin will definitely go there with the Emperor.
Right! Tomorrow is the 15th.
I will take this chance to do it.
Once the task is done, Her Highness has promised
to make me Head of the Imperial Palace.
Then, I'll make you head eunuchin one of the palaces.
Thank you, godfather.
Who are you?
Master, spare my life.
Master...spare my life.

Savior, I'm here to burn incense for you again.
[Palace Maid Kou]
Who dare vandalize the Prayer Hall?
Where are the eunuchs responsible for the Prayer Hall?
I'm here...
Replying to Your Majesty, we knew
that Your Majesty would come today, so yesterday, we carefully cleaned this place up.
but we never saw those verses.
You damn servants! You can't even guard a Prayer Hall well.
- Your Majesty, spare my life...- Your Majesty...
Reporting to Your Majesty, He Changxi, the eunuch assisting the Head Eunuch
was tied at the back of a Tai Hu stone last night and was only just discovered this morning.
Oh my...
Hurry!...
Guo An has indeed been killed.
Completely lawless!
You Bastards!
You allowed a sacred place in the palace to be vandalized.
Tell me, what's the point of having you here?
- Yes...- What use is keeping you?
- Your Majesty, please spare my life.- I admit my mistake.
Your Highness...
How was it?
Responding to Your Highness, He Changxi's confession mentions you.
That damn Guo An.
Your Highness, don't you worry. Guo An was killed last night.
Killed?
Who did it?
It must be the same one who tied up He Changxi and wrote verses in the Prayer Hall.
Your Highness, with Guo An dead, no one can prove your involvement.
As long as you consistently insist that you have nothing to do with this,
I believe that the Emperor will not do anything to you.
This thing has nothing to do with me to begin with.
This was all Guo An's doing to seek revenge for his uncle.
Fifth Brother,
you're too reckless!
If I don't kill two people inside the Palace, the Emperor will not be afraid
Magistrate Bao will not be freed
and that stinking cat Zhan Zhao, will not show up.
Have you thought what the consequences will be?
I'm the one who entered the Forbidden Palace. I killed those people.
I will owe up to my responsibilities.
Now...this thing has happened.
Us sitting here getting scared will not help.
I'm not afraid.
Us, Five Rats, are not easily frightened individuals.
It's just I'm a little worried.
I'm worried that the situation will keep on getting out of hand.
Your Majesty, 3 days ago, on the night of Her Highness' birthday,
my mansion was also attacked by a group of bad persons.
My nephew, Pang Jing, and concubine, Lan Zhu, were murdered.
My mansion suffered some damages.
Did such a thing happen?
Seeing Your Majesty tired from daily work, I did not inform you about this,
instead I reported the case to the City Guard Department.
Was the case solved?
We are still investigating it
but currently have no leads.
Hurry and solve the case.
Catch the criminals as soon as possible.
I'll follow your decree.
Your Majesty
I feel that those who entered the Palace last night and those who caused trouble in my Mansion
belongs to the same bandit group.
They are the ones that Jiangnan people call
the Five Rats forest bandits.
Jiangnan Five Rats?
What kind of criminals can have the guts to cause havoc inside the Imperial Palace?
From what I heard, Jiangnan Five Rats are also called Jiangnan's Five Gallants.
With Southern Hero Zhan Zhao, Northern Hero Ouyang Chun, and Double Heroes Ding Brothers,
they make up the Three Heroes and Five Gallants.
Your Majesty, since Southern Hero Zhan Zhao was granted the title Imperial Cat,
Jiangnan's Five Rats have been unhappy.
Bao Zheng used the chance to approach the Five Rats,
inciting them to come to the Capital and look for Zhan Zhao for trouble.
When the Five Rats arrived at the capital, they couldn't find Zhan Zhao
and were unhappy with the government for punishing Bao Zheng.
To get back at Your Majesty and at me,
they stayed in the Capitaland went on a crime rampage.
What you said was reasonable.
I request Your Majesty to issue a decree sentencing Bao Zheng to death immediately,
showing clearly the impartial application of the law as a warning to others.
Order also the three Law Ministers to immediately capture the Jiangnan Five Rats.
Your Majesty
I think that what Prime Minister said is not right.
The relation between the Five Rats causing trouble in the capital and Bao Zheng are all his inference.
There's really no hard evidence about it.
Sentencing Bao Zheng to death on this basis will not be acceptable to a lot of subjects.
Master Wen,
Bao Zheng falsely accusing Her Highness and threatening His Majesty is already a big crime.
Even if he has nothing to do with what's happening now, he should still be sentenced to death.
I think that Bao Zheng not only shouldn't be killed, but should be released in order to solve this crime.
What a load of nonsense!
How can a death prisoner be released to solve a crime?
This case is very hard and complicated.
No one person can solve it.
Your Majesty can let Bao Zheng redeem himself by doing a good deed.
If he can solve the case, he can use that to pay for his mistakes.
If he can't solve it, he should be punished for both crimes.
This way...he can't complain, and others won't be able to complain either.
