Three Heroes and Five Gallants Episode 13
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!
Hey, Third Master, Master Lu will definitely come back tomorrow.
Just looking at you, I know that you're lying.
Before leaving, Master Lu left us two pots of wine this big.
He said it was waiting for Third Master,so that you can drink until drunk.
Since you're leaving already, Third Master, I think this wine... with my brothers...
No, no, no...is there wine here?
- Yes.- Really?
Then...wait a minute. I...I'll wait for a while.
Aiya, my Big Brother...
even left 2 big pots of wine.
What was that? Hurry and get the wine here.
I'll have a taste and see if it's real.
Then you're not leaving yet?
I can't let my Big Brother drink fake wine.
Come. Let Third Master taste the wine.
Hey! Add 1 plate of mantou.
Add 1 plate of mantou. Go now.
Hey...together...
Sit...the mantou will be here in a while.
I cannot wait any more.I must go back to Kaifeng Court.
Master, you better don't go.You already missed Fourth Master earlier.
If Fourth and Fifth masters suddenly come back after you've left,
won't you miss each other again?
Who?
- Fifth brother! - Elder brother! - I've missed you to death!
Fifth Master. You've returned?
- When did you come? - Yesterday.
Sit down. Let's talk.
- What about Fourth Brother and the others?- I haven't seen them.
Yesterday, trying to save a lady, Master got involved in a murder case.
He was then taken to Kaifeng Court.
Second Master and the others got anxiousand went to Kaifeng Court to rescue Elder Master.
Reckless!
- Second Brother!- BIg Brother!
- Fourth Brother!- Big Brother!
Where's Third and Miss Sha?
Did something bad happen to Third?
They're probably trapped within Kaifeng Court.
The two of you should have saved them!
We...tried.
Fifth...their men...are really too numerous.
What good can I say?!
We haven't even settled the initial problemand now a new problem has appeared.
Big Brother, I'm going to Kaifeng Court to save Third.
Third Master.
Good wine...Here!
Brother Wang Chao
- Are these three good buddies of yours?- Yes.
Tell them quietly
to toast me 1 cup each.
- What for?- Talk softly.
So that I can toast them back.
If you want to drink, just drink all you want!No need for ceremony. Here!
But Mother Tiger is here.
- What are you doing?- Be refined.
What are you two whispering about?
It's like this. Third Master just told me
that Miss Sha usually teaches him
that one must be refined, reasonable.
As many cups as others toast you,
- you must toast them back the same number, isn't it?- Right...
- Repay them twice the amount.- Right.
A while ago, you offered me a toast.
This time, let me offer you a toast.
Let me toast you back. Here.
When I started traveling with themFourth Brother-in-law told me
that if this Old Xi'er dared to be unrefined,then I should treat him in an uncivilized way.
I'm already like this. Ain't I refined enough?
Brothers
each of you toast ourThird Master three cups!
- Come!- Here, Third Master!- Here...Third Master.
Here at Kaifeng Court,
this big cup is really big enough.
- Cheers!- Cheers Third Master.
Here, Third Master .
That's why...I want to ask you all not to worry.
Magistrate Bao and Wang Chao treated me especially well.That's why I think
that they won't do anything bad to Third and Miss Sha.
Big Brother, Third and you are very different.
What we did is called trespassing into Kaifeng Court.
We broke the law.
That's why you mustn't cause any more trouble now.
I want to take you all to Kaifeng Court.Together we'll surrender.
Did I hear wrong? Surrender?
Hey, Big Brother. Are those Gongsun Ce's words?
Gongsun Ce did say these words.
But what he meant was, that after I take you to Kaifeng Court,
we'll discuss with them a perfect plan.
They are treating us very politely.We must not take advantage of people.
If they are really that good, why don't they just come and beat us? Letting us surrender, no way.
Hey Fifth, you already made a big mess.
If you don't stop your ways, you'll face disaster soon.
Big Brother
We always do things following our conscience.
If my actions were upright, what crime did I commit?
That's right.
Big Brother, you are too naive.
You cannot take others' urging.
Did you just believe what that Gongsun Ce said?
Big Brother, what's there to discuss about this?
Is there really so much to discuss?
Fine. If indeed there's a need for discussion,
then let them come here to discuss.
Why should it be us going there? What do they want?
They want to fool us into going to Kaifeng Courtand then catch us all.
That...must be the case!
Magistrate Bao is not that kind of person.
I too feel that Magistrate Bao is not that kind of person.
But how about the people under him?Big Brother, you don't know how they are.
Last night, a lot of them surrounded me and Second Brother, hitting us with swords and spears.
His people most likely will urge him
to capture us as the only wayfor Master Bao to expiate his crimes
and save his own life.
Big Brother, we originally discussed amongst ourselves
to go the Chenzhou and cause trouble to Pang Yu and Zhan Zhao.
Eventually, the Emperor was bound to order Magistrate Bao to go to Chenzhou,
but because you came, our plan was totally ruined.
Big Brother, how about this. Just tell them...
that you weren't able to find us.
Maybe we'd already gone to Chenzhou.
The ones causing trouble in the Eastern Capital were some other Four Rats.
It had nothing to do with you at all.
I believe that Magistrate Bao will not put you in a difficult position.
What did you say? Nothing to do with me?
Am I still your Big Brother?Do you still see me as your Big Brother?
If you really treat us as brothers, hurry and leave.Don't get involved in this, alright?
- You're really driving me away?- Big Brother...
Youngest Brother is only thinking about your own good.
Big...Brother, I feel that you...really should go.
Do you guys know or not?
Right now, Third and Miss Sha are still in their hands.
As long as the four of us are still free,Bao Zheng can't do anything to them.
Big Brother, I guarantee
that if we surrender,
Third and the rest of us will be executed.
Wrong! Gongsun Ce assured me that if we go there,
our life won't be in danger.
Fine. Bao Zheng won't do anything to us.
But how about the Emperor? How about Pang Ji?
Will they let us go?
Big...Brother, government officials'
words are all bullshit.
How can you believe them?
A noble man's word is his bond.
I gave my word to Magistrate Bao.
If I don't take you back to him today,what face do I have left to go and see them?
Big Brother, in your heart, is your face more important
than our lives?
- Fifth Master , don't talk to Elder Master like that.- Shut up!
What's wrong with you Fifth? Are you angry at her?You're obviously angry at me!
Fine. I'll go...
Hey, say, didn't we overdo it a little?
If I don't overdo it, how will Big Brother believe me?
I don't want him to get tarnished with this.
I'm just afraid that Big Brother with his temperament...
What if he thinks we were serious and can't take it emotionally? What do we do?
Fourth, you must let Big Brother go.
This...is also for his own good.
No. I should still follow him.
What if he can't take it?
What Fourth said is right. No, I should also go take a look.
Wait for me here.
Thinking back that I, Lu Fang,
have already given my word to Kaifeng Court,
but none of my brothers
listens to me.
They wouldn't give me even a bit of face!
How can I explain this to Magistrate Bao?
What face do I have left to go and see Magistrate Bao?
Since it's like this,
it'd be better for me to kill myself.
So be it!
After I die, after my eyes close,
all these agonizing things will be gone.
I don't need to care anymore what happens to them.
Rashly beating people and causing trouble...this won't have anything to do with me anymore!
Fine then.
Let's do it then.

Heavens...
How can I say this...
Who made me so incompetent?
I can't protect Magistrate Bao
and my brothers don't want to listen to me.
Do I have any dignity left to continue living in this world?
Only with death,
I hope that this life of mine
can be exchanged for Magistrate Bao and my brothers' safety.
This is how I feel,
may Heaven have pity!
- A ghost?- Big Brother
- Fourth Brother!- What ghost? I think you are possessed instead.
Look at these. What are you doing?
What are you planning to do with these?
You tell me, among you...
not one listens to me.
What honor do I have left to go on living in this world?Give that to me!
Hey, Big Brother, listen to me...
I knew from the start that Fifth would nevergo with you to Kaifeng Court.
Fine. It's alright if you won't to help me,
but you sided with him and angered me together.
- Give it to me.- Don't...
Big Brother, with that situation earlier, if I...
if I'd taken your side openly,
Fifth would have immediately flipped in anger.
The more you oppose him, the more he'll contradict you.
Fine. So what you mean is thatthis thing is already considered settled?
But...how will I face Magistrate Bao?
Big Brother, don't rush...I didn't come here searching for you.
I thought about it. I believe Magistrate Bao.
Master Bao's loyalty and righteousnessare known throughout the empire.
I think that he won't harm us.
Hence, I've decided to go with you to Kaifeng Court.
That's great!
I have three reasons in going to Kaifeng Court.
First, for Big Brother's dignity.
Second, I want to see Third Brother and Sister-in-law.
Third, this is the most important,
I still want to go there to personally checkif they have any bad intentions towards us.
But that still won't work.
How can it not work? How is it not working?
If I bring only you, how am I to explain this to Magistrate Bao?
Big Brother, just tell Magistrate Bao
that you only saw me and haven't found the others.
Let me tell you. You can hide for a whilebut you can't hide for a lifetime.
I still have to look for them.
Big Brother, please don't worry.
How about this, after I've checked that Kaifeng Court really doesn't have any ill intentions to us five brothers,
I will accompany you to persuade Second Brotherand Youngest Brother. Is that alright?
Is that alright?
I feel that with 2 of you, the problem isn't that big. But this Fifth...
Big Brother, don't I know Fifth's attitude?
Persuasion alone won't work. I have a plan.
- Big Brother, you must listen to me. - Say it.- You must listen to me, okay? - Say it.
At the right time, we'll coax Fifth to come and discuss something with us.
Once he comes, we'll attack him together.I'll use a rope to tie him up.
Tie him up? Catch him.
No, no...you can say catch but it's not really catching.
How can a brother catch his own brother?
I'm just using a rope to tie him up and take him to Magistrate Bao.
That's called surrendering. If Magistrate Baosends men to arrest our Youngest Brother,
that's called capture.Won't that bring us brothers shame?
Yes...good. If we bring him like that,
it's still called surrendering.
But this thing...we must first inform Magistrate Bao.
We mustn't let a fake arrest turn into a real arrest.
But we should tie both Second and Fifth
- together.- No, no, no...
Big Brother, we must not tie Second Brother up.
I plan to ask Second Brotherto help us catch Youngest Brother.
Think about it. Fifth is naturally suspicious of everything.
Maybe, he's already guarded against us now.
But Second Brother is not a cautious person.
I know that Second and Fifth are together.
This Second might not help us.
Don't you worry about that. Leave it to me.
I'll help you persuade Second.
Good. Then it's settled.
Fine. Let's go...Big Brother.
Just as I expected.
Fourth and Big Brother ran away already.
Ran away?
And also Fourth told Big Brother that he will think of an evil plan to catch me and send me to Kaifeng Court.
Catch...us?
It's not us.It's me.
Fourth also told Big Brother
that to prevent me from suspecting, he will ask you,Second Brother, to make the move.
That...can't be.How can I do something like arresting you?
They will naturally persuade you to do it when the time comes.
No...that's nonsense...that can't be.
Second Brother
If you are the one who catches me,I won't be mad.
I can let you get this merit.But Fourth Brother must not.
Fifth...let me tell you,what kind of person do you take me for?
J-just because they tell me to,will I t-t-tie you up?
Am I that kind of p-person?
The Jianghu is full of danger and evil.
What do you m-mean by that?
You're doubting me?
Second Brother, it's hard to know what a person thinks.
I must defend myself.
F-Fifth...
Don't you trust me?
Fine.You d-d-don't trust me.
I'll leave!
I'll leave.

Fifth Master.
What is it? Still angry at me?
Fifth master's mind is filled with anger, I can understand.
Actually my anger isn't directed at you.
It's directed at my eldest brother. I want to drive him away with my anger.
I understand your intentions.
You want to bear the whole thing on your shoulders,
so you purposely made Second Master go away in anger.
If all 5 of us were to enter Kaifeng Court,
then all 5 of us would die.
But if I were to stay outside, then the rest of them won't die.
Fifth Master, is it that you still don't trust Master Bao?
It's not that I don't trust him. I don't trust the Emperor and his bunch of officials.
To be honest, Master Bao is only another chess piece in the Emperor's hand.
This place isn't safe now.
I have a letter here.
Take it to Xing Long Inn
and give it to Master Yue.
Then you'll also stay there at that inn.
I will contact you.
Fifth Master, do you also want to chase me away?
You are different from them.
You have not been discovered yet.
You can contact my brothers
through Master Yue.
Reporting, Your Majesty. I've been to the Prime Minister residence to investigate,
but there are still many unanswered questions.
Your Majesty, after the Head Guard inspected the crime scene,
people just went in and out freely. When Master Bao went there
of course there was nothing to be found.
When the Head Guard arrived at the scene,the corpses were already wrapped and in coffins.
Even the bloodied clothes weren't to be seen.
Bloody clothes are inauspicious.
of course I had them burnt.
According to the Garrison's autopsy report,
the two bodies were riddled with wounds. They'd been repeatedly cut and stabbed.
Some wounds were in fatal places, many were not.
This thief is so brutal and heartless,
my poor nephew...my dear concubine!
They... they died so terribly!
Judging by the wounds, they were killed by someone without any martial arts' knowledge,
hacking at random with a sword.
Whether he knows martial arts or not is not important,
what is important is to find the killer and bring him to justice
My poor nephew, my beloved concubine...
Who will find justice for you?
In my judgement, the killer must be someone from the Prime Minister's household.
Nonsense! Your Majesty, Judge Bao is accusing people!
Load of nonsense! Not only is he not finding
the killer for me, he is wrongly accusing me!
Please address my grievance!
Bao Zheng, you say that this crime
was done by people from the Prime Minister'shouse. Do you have evidence?
Your Majesty, of the two victims, Pang Jing was very strong and knew how to fight.
Facing someone without martial arts attacking with a sword,
why didn't he fight back, or scream or run away?
True. Why then?
Because the one who killed them,had absolute authority over them,
they didn't dare to run away. Besides, at the time both were naked.
They had no way to run away.
Bao Zheng! You-
You're attacking me maliciously and for personal gain!You're taking revenge on me! You!
Bao Zheng, this is only guesswork.
Do you have any solid evidence?
Your Majesty, please allow me to question the people in the Prime Minister Residence.
Then I will definitely find the truth of the case. -Your Majesty!
Bao Zheng is obviously trying to frame me!
He is wrongly accusing me! Please bear witness for me!
Stop fighting. Have a look at this first.
Your Majesty, I'm being wrongly accused...
Please decide for me.
Last night, someone broke into the Palace and left this note in between the official reports.
There is really no law and respect!
Coming in and out of the Palace at will.Getting into places when nobody is around.
I should be punished.
Stop investigating the casein the Prime Minister's Residence for now.
Kaifeng Court must use all its meansto investigate the Palace trespassers.
I'll follow your decree.
Master, Gallant Lu brought Gallant Jiang Ping back to our court already.
Invite them to the study room.
Yes.
Master, you're here.
Civilians Lu Fang and Jiang Ping pay their respects.
Heroes, please rise.
Prime Minister, long life.
Master, please have some tea.
Leave! Get out!
Prime Minister, wish you good luck.
- Long live Prime Minister!- Shut up!
- Prime Minister is benevolent. - Leave!
- Long live the Prime Minister!- You shut up!
- What happened? - When Master returned from the palace he flew into a rage.
The cups are all broken.
Master, I think you shouldn't disturb him.
Leave.
- Your son-in-law greets Father-in-law - Get out! I don't want to see anyone!
- Father-in-law please don't be angry. I have an urgent matter to report. - Won't hear it!...
Congratulations! Congratulations, congratulations!
- Long live the Prime Minister!- Shut up!
Prime Minister is benevolent!
Master, I already heard about what happened in the palace,
that the Emperor didn't allow Bao Zheng to question the Residence staff about the deaths.
That's what we want!
Think, if those people were to go to Kaifeng Court
how many of them will watch what they say?
Maybe just one question from Black Bao, and blah-blah-blah...
They could cause our family's downfall. It would reach the court.
If that happens, it'll be known that I committed the murder.
So what if that happens? You're the the Emperor's father-in-law.
What's so terrible about killing two family members?
Even if you admitted the killings publicly,
who can do anything to you?
What is going to cost me my life is not the murder.
It's Pang Jing causing me to wear a green hat. [Wear a green hat = be a cuckold]
Then all the more you shouldn't take it to heart. Prime Minister, think about it.
You are already of an advanced age, your house is full of wives and concubines.
Right? Having to wear a green hat is normal.
It would be unusual if no one made you wear a green hat.
The more you talk, the more nonsense you say!
Father-in-law, if you kill two people for no reasons, it's likely that people will criticize you.
But if you're wearing a green hat, then the situation has changed.
They were unfaithful to you first, only then you were unjust to them.
This will earn you the sympathy of the entire court.
Especially of those who have also worn a green hat.Doesn't this make sense?
Father-in-law, I still have more good news to report.
- Say it.- I already know the whereabouts of the Five Rats.
- Where?- They are just inside Kaifeng Court.
You Black Bao...
This is clearly aiding and abetting!
It's not only aiding and abetting,
but also an official colluding with criminals, deceiving the Emperor, and hatching a plot.
I'll go report this to the Emperor immediately.
Are your news reliable?
Father-in-law don't you worry. I already sent men
to guard the front and back doors of Kaifeng Court all day.
As soon as the Five Rats come out from inside, they'll be stopped immediately.
- Good. - Even if we are unable to stop them,
- we can still cause a big commotion in the city. - That's right.
Right! Let everyone know that the Five Rats are in Kaifeng Court.
Prime Minister, are the Five Rats really hiding within Kaifeng Court?
Your Majesty only has to send the Imperial Guards to search Kaifeng Court and we'll know.
Bao Zheng knows the law well.
How can he do such preposterous thing?
I am willing to guarantee with my own and my family's life.
Are you that sure?
I already sent men to guard Kaifeng Court's front and back doors.
If they try to come out, I will immediately stop them.
- Young Lu Zi - I'm here. - Go to Kaifeng Court and tell Bao Zheng to see me.
- I'll follow your decree. - Wait!
- Subject Pang - I'm here.
Go and stand guard outside Kaifeng Court
to verify that the Five Rats are indeed inside.
If it's true, then you just stay outside and don't move.
With you there, they won't dare to be unruly.
Your Majesty, those Five Rats are criminals that can commit any imaginable misdeeds.
They even dared go wild in the Palace. I'm afraid they won't respect me either.
If they dare to go wild against you,
then I'll have Bao Zheng decapitated.
Right. Right.
If they dare to hurt Prime Minister,
His Majesty will avenge you by kiling Bao Zheng.
Nonsense! This allows the Prime Minister to give me a reason to punish Bao Zheng.
Your Majesty, I really don't dare to risk my life with those wanted criminals.
I didn't ask you to risk your life. I only asked you to go first and check.
See how scared you are.
I understand what Your Majesty means. But I...
Then I'll send a detachment of Imperial Guards to accompany you.
Is this acceptable to you ?
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Master, Eunuch Wang is here.
Serve tea at the main reception hall. I'll go there now.
- No need, Minister Bao. - Eunuch Wang
Your Majesty has a decree.
I, Bao Zheng, receive the decree.
Transmitting His Majesty's verbal decree:
Proclaiming that Bao Zheng is to come to the palace to see the Emperor.
I accept the decree and thank His Majesty's grace.
Master Bao
I take my leave.
Master Bao, the Prime Minister has just been to the Palace to report
that the Five Rats are hiding in Kaifeng Court.
His Majesty doesn't believe it, so he's calling you to the Palace to clarify.
- This... - Master Bao,
His Majesty is only calling you to the Palace to see him, but he didn't say it has to be now.
You can take care of some household matters
before going to the Palace and it will be fine. I'll take my leave.
Respectfully sending Eunuch Wang off.
Everyone, Master is here.
- Master. - Hello, everyone. - Magistrate Bao - No need for formalities.
Gallant Lu, I'm afraid you must all leave this Court quickly.
Magistrate Bao, what's going on?
Gallant Lu, I'm afraid this isn't a safe place for you to stay any longer.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to entertain you well.
- Wang Chao - I'm here. - Send them off for me. - Yes.
Get Gallant Lu and the others out of here quickly.
Hey, tell me, what's going on?
Thief Pang went to the Palace to complain against Master Bao
saying that you Five Rats were hiding in Kaifeng Court.
The Emperor sent a verbal decree telling Master to go to the palace to see him.
Magistrate Bao wants us to leave
to prevent Pang Ji getting hold of any incriminatory evidence.
I won't go.
Here I get to drink wine everyday.
I also don't want to go. The mantou here taste better than those outside.
Third, let's get out first.
Once we're outside, I'll let you drink wine everyday.
Given the urgency of the situation, I must ask everyone to leave quickly.
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Do you think the Emperor and Pang Ji are stupid?
I don't think they will let us leave just like that.
Master Fourth is quite right. Thief Pang must have men waiting outside already.
What's so frightening about that?
I and Mother Tiger will be at the front.
Big Brother and Fourth will guard the rear. Let's force our way out!
That's right! My hands are itchy already.
Brothers, it's not that I'm boasting.
We, the Five Gallants of Jiangnan, have great martial arts skills.
If we want to go, no one can stop us.
But we cannot go.
If we go, what about Magistrate Bao? Where's he going to hide?
Why didn't I think about that?
Master Bao wants to take all this upon himself
to give us a way out.
But if you don't all leave, Magistrate Bao will be even more troubled.
He either hands you over to the Emperor or fights along with you against the Emperor .
No. A real man must bear the consequences of his own deeds.
We must not implicate Magistrate Bao in this way.
Or else, how can we face the world's heroes? We must bear this by ourselves!
You not leaving won't save Master Bao either.
Prime Minister Pang, Master Bao left his residence by carriage already.
Guard it well.
Not even a bird must fly out of Kaifeng Court.
Capture anyone who comes out.
- If they resist, execute them on the spot. - Yes.
Your Majesty, I'm back.
- Where's Bao Zheng? - He'll be here soon.
Young Lu Zi, do you think that Bao Zheng would dare lie to me and let those Five Rats escape?
Your Majesty, I don't think that Bao Zhen would dare.
You're wrong. I think he'll dare
These Jianghu people have nothing
other than loyalty.
Whether they'll leave or not, I can't say for sure.
Your Majesty is brilliant.
Reporting to Your Majesty, Bao Zheng is here already.
Send Bao Zheng in to see the Emperor.
Greetings to Your Majesty,
long live Your Majesty!
- Enough with the formalities. Get up.- Thank you, Your Majesty.
- Subject Bao- I'm here.
Someone reported that the Five Rats are hiding in Kaifeng Court. Is that true?
