The Three Heroes and Five Gallants Episode 12
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.
What Subject Wen said is reasonable.
Let's do that.
I'll follow your decree.
Fourth Master, Bao Zheng has been set free!
Is that true?
I personally asked the guard outside Kaifeng Court.
Fourth Master, did you hear that?
It's still our Fifth who has a way.
Recklessly going into the Palace and killing a few people was enough to scare that Emperor.
Brothers, did you see that?
If you keep always worrying about what ifs, don't even think about doing something great.
I also heard that His Majesty asked Bao Zheng to redeem himself by doing good in his task.
If he can capture you Five Rats, he will be spared from death.
If he isn't able to, then he will be punished for both crimes and killed twice.
What did you say?
I also don't really know the exact details.
This was just relayed to me by that guard.
Brother, please leave now. We'll just discuss some things.
Okay.
Fourth, what do we do now?
Bastards!
Unfortunately, Yue guessed it all right.
What are you doing?
Stop sighing like this! Alright?
All these were my own doings. I take responsibility for them.
I will definitely not drag you along with me.
Fifth Brother, what do you mean by that?
Your Third Brother is also a real man.
I will bear this thing with you.
You still have your Third Sister-in-law.
I am Old Xi's wife. If Old Xi goes, I too will go.
Non...sense!
Go...where?
What...is there to bear?
Just...causing more trouble here.
Brothers...
I am not a coward.
If surrendering can return Minister Bao's freedom,
I will be the first to surrender.
I'm just afraid that even if we Five Rats surrender together, we'd still be unable to save Master Bao.
- Why? - Why?
Because if we do that,
it will prove that the Five Rats causing trouble in the Eastern Capital
is all Magistrate Bao's scheme.
The Five Rats being willing to surrender
will still be seen as Magistrate Bao's manipulation.
Regardless, Magistrate Bao will be pointed as the mastermind.
Think about it. Since time immemorial,
what Emperor has ever allowed his subjects to manipulate a situation like this?
Fourth...
Then, what...should we do next?
Do you have any...good plan?
I don't have any.
But I know
that we mustn't make any moves right now.
Right now, we can do nothing to respond to any changes.
But I believe that there is no such thing as a dead end.
Let's just wait for the right time.
There will always be a way.
I reckon
that if these cases really involve the Five Rats and Master Yue,
then these people are still in the vicinity of the Capital.
Only finding and interrogating them first can we confirm the situation.
We indeed can only do that for now.
Master, here's your order.
Master
Waiter, does a Master Yue live here?
Right...he is in the third room on the left.
- Come with me.- No need. I'll just go there by myself.
Alright...please.
[Kaifeng Court]
What did Master Yue say?
The palace events were all the Five Rats' doing.He doesn't know the details.
These Five Rats‘ actionsare too reckless.
All these crimes are punishable by death.
Right. And they also put Master in a difficult situation.
If it was up to me to catch them,
no matter whether they're field rats or underground rats,
I'd skin them one by one.
Zhao Hu, don't talk nonsense.
Although his words are rude, he is right.
The current situation is quite obvious.
If we cannot find the Five Rats, Master's life will be in danger.
But Master..
Master has been working for the country and the people all his life.
He never thinks about his own safety,so there's only us to think for him.
Then, in your opinion, what should we do?
The four of you must divide into two groups.
Disguise yourself and go undercover.
If we can find just one of the Rats,it will be easier to proceed afterwards.
What Mister said is right!
If we can catch just one of them, the others will surely come for him.
Then we'll set up a trap,
and catch whoever comes.
Captain Zhao, it's not catching.
It's searching. It's inviting.
Inviting?
That's good. Good...
Then I must trouble Miss Yalan to go to the city
and get that...
ask Master Yue nicely to come back.
Yue has been a Kaifeng Court's man all along.
Hey, remember to go into Kaifeng Court to look for him.
Fifth Master, this is not the time to say angry words.
What? Are you teaching me what to say now?
Do I need you to teach me how to speak?
Don't, don't...
Miss Yalan, you better go disguised as a man.
Doing things as a man will be easier.
So that's what happened.
Fifth Master and the others were too rash and didn't think well enough.
Little Sister, you must not blame them.
Whether it's causing ruckus in the Pang Residence
or trespassing into the Imperial Palace,
they were only doing it out of chivalry.
Why will I blame them?
Then that's good.
Do you want to see them now?
Go to Chenzhou.
Go to Chenzhou?
Go to Chenzhou.
Tell Bai Yutang, Jiang Ping, and the others.
that Zhan Zhao has been secretly sent by Pang Ji to Chenzhou
to protect Pang Yu.
Tell them to hurry to Chenzhou
- and cause a big commotion there. - Cause a big commotion there?
Are you planning to let the Emperor know about this?
Of course, he must know.
This way, Magistrate Bao can go the Chenzhou with the excuse of catching the Five Rats.
Once he arrives at Chenzhou, he can start investigating
Pang Yu and his lot's embezzlement of government funds
and abusing disaster victims.
If he can show the world what's really happening there, the situation may change.
Vegetables for sale! Fresh vegetables!
Fresh vegetables! Have a look!
Vegetables for sale!
Say, these people are all going in the same direction.
They are all carrying incense. Where are they going to?
- I'll go ask somebody.- Fine.
Brother, may I ask where are all these people going to?
Warrior, there's something you don't know.
Today is the local Flower God Temple fair.
These people carrying incense are going to the Temple to pray to the Flower Goddess.
Flower God Temple?
- May I ask how far it is from here?- Not far. Just go straight 2 more blocks.
Alright. Thank you.
Since it's a temple festival, it'll be very lively there.
Maybe those country ratsare also there joining the celebration.
- Let's go and take a look.- Let's go.
[Flower God Temple]
- Flower Goddess protect me...- To be able to get a wife...Flower Goddess...
Look! Silver!
Whoever can win over our Master, [Pugilistic Ring]
then these money will be his.
Is there anyone willing to try? [Peerless Martial Arts] [Awesome Martial Arts]
Is there anyone?
Whoever defeats our Master,
wins this silver!
Anyone dares to accept this challenge?
This is our Master.
- Is this set up for a Martial Arts Competition or performance?- Competition.
Mister, we meet again.
What are they doing?
Misters, look at that one sitting on the stage.
His name is Yan Qi.
He is High Official Guo Dengyun's nephew.
He is a brutal despot, always oppressing people, there's no evil deed he won't do.
Since he's besotted with the beauty Su Hua, people call him "Despot Hua Hua".
So he's a local tyrant.
That's right.
He uses his power and connections to cheat people,but then, fearing they'll revenge,
he spends a lot of money to hire bodyguards.
The one beside him is Shi Dan, his cudgel teacher.
He learned some skills from this Shi Dan and believes he's a master already.
Now he's here looking for someone to spar with him.
Anyone dare to fight him?
Everybody fears him.Who would dare fight him?
This evil man. Look how I teach him a lesson.
Don't cause trouble.
Mister, we'll go there to take a look.
Goodbye then.
Help me! Kidnapping!
Save me! Help me! This is kidnapping!
Save me!
Don't move...
Stop that!
May I ask why is that woman being forcefully taken?
Get lost!
If you're tired of life,
slash your throat, hang yourself, or take poison, it's your choice.
Don't come looking for trouble.
Forcefully taking women under broad daylight.
Regardless, you can't deny that, right?
Forcefully taking women?
This is a servant who escaped from our residence.
She stole lots of things. Our men searchedseveral days and only found her today
I'm not. I didn't!
Daughter...
- Mom!- Daughter...
- Mom!...- Come back here!...
Come back here. That's not your daughter!
Hurry and return my daughter!
Mother...
Listen to me and hurry home. Hurry and go.
Thank you.
Who are you? Dare to behave atrociously here!
I am not behaving atrociously.
but I felt that the old woman and her daughter were crying very pitifully.
Hope that Mister can be gracious enough
to spare them.
Oh...trying to be a hero saving a damsel in distress?
Men, what are you still waiting for? Attack!
Beat him to death!
Subtitles were brought to you by The Rats of Hollow Island Team @Viki
Good...
Move out...
What happened?
Officer, it was him who killed our Young Master.Hurry and catch him!
- Arrest him!- Yes.
No need to use force. I'll go with you to the local court.
Wait!
You should do things fairly. He was the one who hit people with a cudgel.
He should also be arrested and taken to the local court.
Who are you two, actually? You mustn't obstruct official work.
I am a 6-ranked guard of Kaifeng Court, Wang Chao.
I didn't know it's you two Masters.
I was blind. Hope Master can forgive me.
We personally witnessed this situation. Just take these people directly to Kaifeng Court,.
- I will follow.- Go then!
Yes. Take him too.
Hurry.
Take him...Stand up...Come...Take him.
Brother, leave this thing to us. Don't you worry.
I depend on you two for this matter.
Alright.
Warrior, please.
I heard that the Emperor let Magistrate Bao out to capture those criminals.
If he isn't able to,
I'm afraid he'll be locked up again.
That's right.
These Five Rats too...
If they had to kill, they should have killed that old thief too.
Killing a nephew and a concubineis damn useless.
- Besides, with the Pangs'wealth, they can buy all the concubines they want.- Right...
Heaven protect us and let Magistrate Bao catch the criminals soon
- to overcome this danger.- Right.
Who is Magistrate Bao? He is a god!
Whether it's a case solved on the spot.
or whether it's been tampered,
he can see it with one look.
- Right...- Doesn't even need 30 minutes.
This Justice Bao is 'Master Clear Sky.' [= incorruptible]
These Five Rats are also heroes who kill the rich to help the poor.
But how come the Heavens let good people fight each other?
Right...
Criminal Zhang Da greets Your Excellency.
Why aren't you lifting your head up?
I dare not.
I won't punish you for it. Lift up your head.
Lu Fang, Landlord Lu.
May I ask how Sir knew my real identity?
I have heard of Master Lu's good name.
Meeting for the first time, the name just came out.
Turned out it really was Master Lu.
Since it's Hero Lu who's here, please stand up to talk.
I dare not.
Squire Lu, no need to be polite. Master is sincere.
Thank you, Your Excellency.
Why is Hero Lu here at Bianliang?
Master, it's like this.
My Fifth Brother left that day angry.
My other three brothers went after to find him. Until today, they haven't been back.
Being the eldest brother, I was worried, so I came here to look for them.
Then...have you heard any news about them?
I only just arrived at the Flower God Temple,haven't even entered the city yet [Sigh],
And I already encountered this troublesome matter.
Until now, I haven't had any news about my other brothers.
Since that's the case, why don't you stay here for now?
Slowly look for news about them.
- Wang Chao- I'm here.
Take Hero Lu to the back compound to rest.
You must serve him well.
Yes!
Thank you, Your Excellency.
Tell us, Miss Yalan. what do these two people look like?
One of them is very tall,
square face, with a full beard.
Fifth Master once described First Master's features for me.
So I asked one of the guards who escorted him.
He said that the man indeed had a Jiangnan accent.
That's why I got suspicious, and hurried back here to report to you.
Then let's storm Kaifeng Court
and get Elder Brother out!
Devil's tongue.
This...Miss Yalan hasn't said yet that it's really Elder Brother.
Didn't Miss Yalan said it clear already?
Square face with big beard, if not Elder Brother, who can it be?
Stop talking.
Lots of people look like that in this world.
No one can be sure that that was really Elder Brother.
- Right?- I don't care. Let me tell you.
Storm Kaifeng Court and find that person.
We'll know if we see him.
It's not that simple.
Fourth...
How come I feel that there's a chance that it really is Elder Brother.
Look...given our Elder Brother's character...
We've been away so long already. He couldn't stay put. He must have been worried.
There's a chance...that he came...to find us. After --
Don't...say after anymore.
The more you say it, the more I get scared.
You...don't be scared anymore.
You're full of ideas so hurry and think of one.
Fourth...think...of an idea.
Miss Yalan, we must trouble you with this one.
Please get into the city once more and look for Master Yue.
Yue has connections with Kaifeng Court.
Thru him, let's try to find out
if the one locked inside Kaifeng Court is my brother or not.
Or maybe, if that one really isn't our Brother.
Please...
I understand. I'll go now.
- There's a chance that it's not Big Brother. - Definitely not Elder Brother.
They are really daring.
Even dare to trespass into the Imperial Palace?!
Causing such big problems.
What should we do now?
Squire Lu, no need for you to worry.
Magistrate Bao is not blaming them.
Rather, he feels that they are heroes who care about the country and its people.
No, no, no...
We can't let them harm Magistrate Bao.
A real man must bear his mistakes.
I must find them quickly and make them surrender to Kaifeng Court.
Squire Lu's words are too grave.
Not really surrender, we just want Squire Lu to have a word with Fourth and Fifth Masters.
Ask them to come here and discuss a plan that can benefit us all.
The situation has already progressed to this stage.
What's there to discuss?
There will always be a way. We just need to sit and discuss it together.
There's one thing I can bet my life on.
I guarantee that their life will not be in danger.
[Kaifeng Court]
Master Yue, what urgent matter do you have?
Captain Wang
I heard that Kaifeng Court arrested two men today.
Is one of them Lu Fang?
- Who is it?- It's me, Yalan.
Yalan? You're back.
Yalan...
It's not my Elder Brother, right?
Fourth...
Little Sister Lan, is it or is it not?
It was indeed Elder Master.
It's really my Big Brother!
What are you two doing?!
Let's stop wondering!
It's Big Brother! Let's storm Kaifeng Court right now and get Big Brother out!
Third Brother
Third Brother, you must stay calm.
We must stay calm during this time.
This thing happened so suddenly.
We must move carefully and think of a fool proof plan to rescue Big Brother.
Calm? You can be calm! I can be calm! But can Second Brother stay calm?
How can...I not stay calm?
Did you see...me getting anxious?
Right now...no one said that we won't...go save him.
We must...think...of a way...to save...him.
Right. What Second Brother said is right, Third Brother.
Third Brother, think about it. Elder Brother has gone in already.
When did Elder Brother get in? How did he get in?
Was he invited or arrested into Kaifeng Court?
Did Justice Bao order his arrest? Or was it his subordinate, Gongsun?
We still don't know any of these details!
We need to stay calm.
If we act recklessly, we might harm Elder Brother.
Jiang, Old Fourth,
You can really blah-blah-blah-talk!
You usually have lots of ideas, a belly full of schemes. Why don't you push some out now?
Third Brother, I can't push any out right now.
This happened too suddenly.
I never thought that Elder Brother would also...
Third Brother, give me some more time. Let me think more...
At the moment of truth, you can't be relied on...
All you know is how to point your finger at somebody.
Point...what are you pointing to?
You...look at you. What help...have you offered?
Everyone...sit down.
Let me...tell you two.
This thing...we must wait. After Fifth...returns,
the four of us will discuss...it together...then we'll go...save him.
Third Brother, give me some more time to think...Let me think...
You can't be relied on during the most critical times. You can't be relied on!
Point, point. All you do is point your finger at someone!
What's the use of pointing?
Look at yourself, what good have you done?
Then, how long must we wait?
The two of you, one looking at the sky,the other at the ground, what are you doing?
[Kaifeng Court]
Sirs, please rest assured. When I find them I'll bring them here immediately.
Squire Lu, please remember,
you must make clear to your brothers that the reason they are being brought here
is none other than to discuss our great plan.
Squire Lu, if they are willing to come, fine,
but if not, we will not force them.
I am their eldest,
if they don't listen to me, then what am I here for?
Also, if I can't bring them back, how can I face you?
Or face Magistrate Bao and the rest of the world's heroes?
Squire Lu, you exaggerate.
Well, it's getting late,
I will head out. Hopefully I bump into them.
Squire Lu, take care.
Hey, Squire!.
You are also at the Eastern Capital.
Nice to meet you!...
May I ask, young brother, how do you know me?
Squire, can't you tell from my accent?
I am also from Songjiang.
Songjiang?
Yes!
My home is at Qingfeng Town, near Hollow Island.
I often see you on the river.
It's just that I'm only a commoner.Master most likely wouldn't have noticed me.
So we're from the same province. I was disrespectful.
How can it be?
But why are you here alone?
Where are Fourth Master and the rest?
Fourth?
You've met my Fourth Brother?
Yes, I also met Fifth Master as well.
Where are they? Where are they living?
Fourth Master said they're stayingat a small fishing village east of the garden.
The owner is Huang Deping, a friend of Fourth Master.
Thank you, little brother, I will repay you in the future.
Hey, Squire, go straight north. In 1.5 miles there's a small inn. Ask again for directions there.
Can we stop going round in circles?
What's the time now?
Yalan, why isn't Fifth Brother back yet?
Let' go.
Second Brother, didn't we agree to waitfor Fifth before deciding what to do?
Second Brother, Big Brother is still waiting for us!
Fourth! Are you going or not?
Fourth, are you going or not?
Everyone, don't act rashly.Wait a little and maybe Fifth Master will be back.
Right...let's wait a little longer.
Boss, let's get our weapons and go!
Second!
Yalan, I must ask you to wait for Fifth Brother. I must go.
Careful!
Is there anyone here?
Coming! Oh, Mister customer.
Sit... Our dishes are already sold out. We only have wine left.
I'm just here to ask about an address.
Whose address are you looking for? What is the name?
The house is owned by Huang Deping.
- Customer, you're talking about Boss Huang.- Right.
- Coming.- Brother Jiang!
Miss, are Brother Jiang and the others here?
Are you Squire Lu?
May I ask who are you, Miss?
Yalan greets Master. Hurry and come inside to talk.
Master Lu, I still have things to doI won't stay longer.
Alright. Thank you, Boss Huang. See to your things.
Goodbye.
Master, please.
Miss Yalan, call Fourth and Fifth to meet me here immediately.
They've gone to Kaifeng Court,
They heard that you'd been arrested, so they were very worried.
They headed for Kaifeng Court, to rescue you.
What?
They went to Kaifeng Court?
Causing trouble...this is clearly causing trouble!
Did Fourth also go with them?
Fourth Master tried his best to dissuade them
but Second and Third masters just wouldn't listen.
Then I must go immediately.
Master, better don't go now.
Before leaving, Fourth Master asked meto wait for Fifth Master here.
Then Yalan, you just wait for them here.
Master, you should know that if Fifth Master comes back
and learns that you all have gone to Kaifeng,he'll surely go there too.
Given his temperament, he'll definitely cause more trouble.
Then Miss, what you mean is...
Master, please stay here for nowand wait for Fifth Master.
But Second and Third...
Don't worry. Once they arrive at Kaifeng Court
and learn that you're already out,they'll definitely come back here right away.
Then, you brothers will be reunited.
You have a point.
[Old Pang found out he'd been cheated by his concubine and nephew, hence, he killed them and then reported that someone had murdered them.]
Young Lu Zi
Your Majesty
When were these memorials submitted?
I went to fetch you as soon as I placed them there.
The moment you left, someone already entered the Imperial Study Room.
Your...Majesty, I just left for a little while.
How can this be?
Looking at the handwriting, it must be the same one who wrote the poem at the Prayer Hall.
I will immediately ask the Palace Guardsto search and arrest him.
No need.
Why causing such ruckus?
Anyway, this person isn't an assassin.
Your Majesty is wise.
Who is it?
Catch the assassin!
Men! Catch the assassin!
- We've been discovered.- Run!
Pleased to meet you!

Boss!
Old Xi'er, I'm coming to save you!
Run!
Take him away!
Miss Sha, please stop!
Throw the stuff.
Say, how did you know my...
thunder-like name?
Miss Sha, you are famous for your martial arts skills.
There isn't anyone on this world who doesn't know of you.
Don't give me that bookish talk. I don't understand it!
I'm saying that Miss Sha is not just beautiful,
but your martial arts skill is very high.Therefore, nobody can beat you.
Even if I've never met you, I've heard of your
thunder like great name.
Oh, right.
Everyone knows that Miss Shais not only good with bamboo poles, but also
daggers, spears, swords, halberds, hatches, battle axes and tridents
you are good with all kinds of weapon.
- Really?- Of course. Not only is Miss Sha better than most men,
your father, General Sha, is one of our Song Empire's greatest generals.
Having the chance to meet Miss Sha hereis worth three lifetimes of luck.
Well said! Well said!...
Who are you?
I am Wang Chao, greeting Miss Sha.
Respectfully greeting you, Superior Wang Chao.
No, no, no...not right!
You lot have arrested my old man. Bring my Old Xi'er back!
Is Miss Sha asking about Third Master Xu ?
Exactly! He's my husband.
If Miss Sha wants to see Third Master Xu, just come with me.
Come with you?
Fine then. Given that what you said earlier is entirely true,
lead the way.
Miss Sha, please.
Old Xi'er
Why are you here?
- I'm here to save you. Are you alright?- What saving?
Hurry and go back.
That can't be.
Who doesn't know that Third Master Xu's 'shrinking bone' skill
has no match in this world?
Of course!
It's good that you know.
Let me tell you.
Other than a soaked leather band,
nothing can bind me up...
don't even think about it.
Let me tell you. If I don't say it, no one would know.
Third Master is right. None of us knows
that to trap Third Master, we have to use a soaked leather band.
- Has Third Master's leg wound been treated with good ointment?- Yes, it has.
Third Master, trying to rescue you earlier,
Miss Sha's bamboo pole skills
were truly awesome, earth shattering!
I think Miss Sha isn't an an ordinary mortal.
She's like a wild tiger from the mountain!
- Really?- Of course.
Some people in our village also used to say that.
They even called me...Mother Tiger.
Mother Tiger
Let me tell you. Our family's Fourth
has also previously praised my wife.
He said that she has in her some of a tiger's might.
It's not just some. From what I can see, it's 100 percent.
- Really?- Of course!
Flower, from now on,
we won''t call you 'Boss' any longer.
Then what will you call me?
We'll call you Mother Tiger.
Fine! But...let me tell you.
From now on, if you don't obey, I'll bite you.
- Mother Tiger...- Rotten Old Xi'er
Rotten Old Xi'er...
Rotten Old Xi'er!...
That...Mother Tiger
Why am I suddenly here?
Third Master, you came here looking for Master Lu, right?
My Big Brother was arrested by your lot.
Return my Big Brother to me!
Return my Brother-in-law!
Guys...Master Lu is no longer here.
No longer here?
Not here anymore. He...
My God!
Rotten Old Xi'er, what's happening to you?
Don't cry.
You bastards! You killed my Big Brother!
Third Master...Third Master!...
We wouldn't dare.
When we knew it was Master Lu, we released him immediately.
We even gave him good food and wine.
Master Lu missed his brothers so muchthat after eating he went to find you.
How come I feel that the words you said
are just lies to fool me?
Lies!
With Mother Tiger here, even if you lend me 100 guts,
I still would not dare.
Mother Tiger, let's go! Let's go look for Big Brother!
Hey...the two of you...
It's already late now.I think, you should wait for tomorrow, instead.
Tomorrow?
Don't use that style on me. Let me tell you.
I...have been fooled so many times already that I fear it.
I must look for Big Brother today!
in the next pisode
