The Three Heroes and Five Gallants Episode 30
I can't understand it! Why must it be me going to steal that letter?
Given Ji Saihua's ability, stealing this letter for her is like snapping her fingers.
Once the letter is lost, she'll be the first suspect.
Even if I'm the one who steals it,
Ji Saihua will still be suspected.
Tomorrow night, just let her be with Pang Yu all the time.
Collaborating with people like you lot is really trouble.
I also want to just kill Pang Yu. That'd be less worries and troubles for us.
- But-- - Don't say any more!
Don't bother spewing your 'rule of law' reasons.
I really won't understand.
You're not so old and you're not a Kaifeng Court official. Why do you act like one?
Drop it! Whatever I say to you, you won't understand. I don't want to argue with you.
I'm drunk too.
- Royal Uncle. - Little sister Zhang, what do you need from me?
Royal Uncle, Madam and little master
have reached the Capital safely .
Also, I should now go back to the Talents Recruitment Club.
Why must you?
There are lots of rooms here. It's not as if you can't live here.
I'm afraid that living alone here.
is inconvenient in many ways for me.
Are you afraid that others might gossip?
I hope Royal Uncle can understand.
Little sister Zhang,
has your brother already told you
about our thing?
What thing?
Brother hasn't said anything at all.
Look at you. You're blushing already.
And still claims that he didn't say anything. He must have said something already.
Royal Uncle, my parents
died when I was little. I treat my brother as my father.
I follow everything that my brother arranges.
What a virtuous lady!
Fine. I'll go along with your will.
In the future, I'll just talk all matters with your brother.
Then I'll take my leave.
Miss Zhang, wait!
Miss Zhang, I've been thinking about it.
I'll move out.
You should just continue living here.
How can I dare trouble Royal Uncle like that?
What troubling me?
Who in the Imperial Family Garden doesn't know? Even my wife knows
that I don't usually come back to live here.
That...of course, if in the future,
I get to marry little sister,
this kind of thing will no longer happen.
I'll come home to live. Come home to live.
What does where you live have to do with me?
Miss Zhang...
Oh, right. When Madam left,
she took with her a lot of valuable things.
But there are still lots of valuables left.
That's why, Miss should temporarily, for me...
for Madam,
help us look after them. How about that?
Then it's settled. Ah? It's settled.
If you can't get used to it,
I'll bring some maid servants over here to serve you.
No need. No need, Royal Uncle.
I am a servant myself.
How will I get used to ordering others around?
What are you saying, little sister Zhang?
Madam has always treated you as a real little sister.
I also treat you--
In short, we are one family. That's why
Miss Zhang shouldn't be so polite any more.
Look at you! I'm not a tiger.
Are you afraid that I'll eat you or something?
Royal Uncle, I have always been respectful
towards Royal Uncle.
I hope that Royal Uncle can also show me a little respect.
Alright. Alright.
Then...then let's maintain a...
maintain a minimum distance. How is 3 feet?
Three feet.
Is that okay?
Royal Uncle,
I'll take my leave now. You too should rest early.
Hey, Miss Zhang. Miss Zhang...
How can that be possible? Look at this road,
so long and distant. I will need a body guard.
There are lots of people in this house. What are you afraid of?
Miss Zhang, no matter how many people are in here,
it can't compare to you escorting me. It makes me--
Three feet. Three feet.
Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!
- Wait a minute.- Where?
The assassin has come again!
- Royal Uncle, go!- No way. No way. Let's go together.
Little Sister, stay here and wait for me a moment, alright?
Royal Uncle, hurry to your room and stay there!
It's Second Rat Han Zhang's Thunder Bombs.
Royal Uncle, let's go to the underground tunnel.
Right. Go into the underground tunnel. The underground tunnel.
- Let's go.- Go. Go. Go.

Go down.
Do I also go down with you?
Aiya, what time is it already? What's there to still qualm about?
You walk in front.
There's an assassin! There's an assassin! Let me protect you! Let me protect you!
Royal Uncle!
How is there an assassin in here?
No assassin? That scared me to death.
With everything that happened these past days, I'm very jittery.
Little sister Zhang, you stay in front. Stay in front.
If there really is an assassin, I'll protect you. I'll be your rear support.
Royal Uncle!
I can't see anymore. I can't see anything.
Miss Zhang. Miss Zhang. Where are you?
Miss Zhang...
Miss Zhang.
Why can't I see anything? I've finally found you.
Can you see anything?
- Of course, I can see.- How come I can't see anything?
Then you take me away. You lead me.
- Walk straight ahead.- Straight ahead. Straight head. It must be in front...
Are there 3 pots of wine in front?
Then let's turn left. To the left.
Is there a chair and a table?
- A table.- Royal Uncle!
There's a chair there. Hurry and sit down there.
- Aiya! I can see it.- Sit down, Royal Uncle.
I can see again. I can see again, Miss Zhang.
You sit too. Sit too. Sit here.
No need. There's also a seat here.
I was afraid that other stool was dirty.
Miss Zhang...We, sooner or later,
will be husband and wife.
You can stop bringing up all those conventions now.
Royal Uncle,
although I come from a very poor family,
I'm not a slut! I hope that you, Royal Uncle,
can conduct yourself with more dignity.
Little sister Zhang, look. Look.
There are no outsiders here.
Who will know?
Heaven and Earth know. The gods and ghosts know.
You and I know.
Little sister Zhang,
everything is good about you
except that you need to lighten up a bit.
Royal Uncle, I know
that I am a wild sparrow, not fit to be shown in public.
I hope Royal Uncle can forgive me.
Little sister Zhang! Little sister Zhang!
The more you don't give importance to me,
the more I want to have you...Little Sister Zhang!
Royal Uncle!
- I'll go up and take a look!- Stop right there!
As a servant guard,
how can you just leave me alonewhile I'm in danger?
If you leave, who will protect me?
Fine. Then, Royal Uncle
please act more decently!
Alright. I'll maintain 3 feet distance.
You dare hit my butt?
Go!
Good. Mother tiger!
Let's go!
Mother Tiger! Let's go now!
I don't want to. They dared to touch my butt!
Stop! Everybody stop!
How dare you touch Mother Tiger's butt!
Go now!
Little sister Zhang, don't worry!
You sit there. I'll sit here.
There's a table between us.
Isn't that already more than 3 feet?
Royal Uncle, where does this tunnel exit?
It doesn't exit anywhere. It's a dead end.
Were you the one who had it dug?
No. This residence was previously owned by a retired official.
Naturally, as an official for so long, he had amassed lots of money and treasures.
Once you have more wealth, you worry about bandits coming to steal it.
Therefore, he built this underground tunnel.
In a situation, he could hide from danger here. If not, he could use it to hide his treasures.
Then...how did it become Royal Uncle's Imperial Family Garden?
This corrupt official was insatiably greedy. The people really hated him.
When I arrived, I went along with the people's will,
punished him for his crimes and confiscated all his wealth.
This manor then became my Imperial Envoy's Residence.
And since I'm an Imperial relative,
people started calling this place the Imperial Family Garden.
This means that you, Royal Uncle, are a great master who kills the corrupt and helps the poor.
It's nothing. It's nothing.
This...Relief work in disaster areas needs money. The government funds are inadequate.
After I arrived here at Chenzhou,
I killed a few rich and cruel corrupt officials and overlords,
Suppressed a lot of troublemaking groups of hoodlums and hecklers.
But doing good work isn't well-seen.
A lot of villains and evil people,
because I offended them, created many false rumors that greatly hurt me.
Royal Uncle, false rumors can't fool everyone forever.
People naturally have a steelyard in their heart.
Those words, should still be explained from two sides.
Look...
The assassins are gone.
Let's go.
- Are they really gone now?- They're gone.
- You saw it clearly?- I saw it clearly.
Master.
- Where are the assassins?- They've escaped.
Then what are you still waiting for?
A night snack? Aren't you going to chase after them?
- Let's go!- Yes.
Little sister, I'll go take a look. Keep guard here.
Little sister, it'd be better if you get a candle and come with me upstairs.
Yes, Royal Uncle.
Walk in front.
Wait. Wait.
Royal Uncle! What are you doing inside?
Nothing.
Royal Uncle! What's wrong with you, Royal Uncle?
Careful where you step!
Royal Uncle! Walk slowly!
My lord!
Master. Master.
Master!
- Master is here? - Master! - Master, please sit!
Master, please sit!
Get out! Get out now! Get out now!
Come back! Come back! Come back!
Master, sit down.- Master, sit down.
I'll give you a massage.
I'll kill you!
Master! - I'll kill you! I'll kill you!
I'll kill you! I'll kill you!
Where are you? Where?

- L-last ni-night... Last night?
- Yes. - Continue.
- And t-then Sa-saihua and- - What did Saihua say?
- Yes. - Continue.
Second Brother, take some deep breaths.
You can definitely say a whole sentence. I believe in you.
Stop messing around! Pang Yu found out that the letter is missing!
See how well you spoke?
Those bastards
found out so soon. They're quite vigilant.
Yes, Saihua also said-
- What else did she say? - She said she fears that when Pang Yu finds out, he'll be like a dog...
- dog... - A desperate dog will jump the wall? (Chinese idiom meaning: despair gives courage even to a coward)
Let's do this, Second Brother. Go tell sister-in-law
to continue monitoring him, strengthen her vigilance.
If there's any sign of trouble, immediately contact me.
What do you mean immediately? You'll soon won't be here.
- You must send so-someone here as support- - No problem!
Second Brother, I'll leave right now.
I'll report what you told me to the rest, then I'll rush back here. Alright?
- Fine. Then I'll leave first. - You leave first.
Wait a second!
Second Brother, right now the situation is critical.
You need to be super careful, understand?
Okay, I'll leave now. Don't worry.
Second Brother!
Second Brother, right now the situation is critical. You warn sister-in-law too.
She also needs to be super careful.
She's in a wolves and tigers' lair,
she needs to be especially careful.
Yes. Yes. Yes. I'll l-leave now.
Right now the situation is critical, be sure not to speak nonsense.
I won't speak nonsense.
Sister Zhang.
Sister Zhang?
Zhang-
- Royal Uncle? - Sister.
There are no outsiders here, right?
What do you mean by that, Royal Uncle?
I don't mean anything.
These past few days, those rats appearing and disappearing have left me uneasy.
Royal Uncle suddenly coming here
is there anything you want me to do?
Sister Zhang, go to the front and get Pang Wang for me.
You must not let anyone find out.
Yes, sir.
That feels good.
It feels so good.
Use less pressure. Less-
Use less pressure!
- Use less pressure! - It's fine. It's fine.
Second-in-command! Second-in-command!
Stand firm!
In broad daylight,
don't tell me that ruffian Bai Yutang is again through our doors?
It's not Bai Yutang, it's Hundred Flowers Tower.
Hundred Flowers Tower?
Last night, another girl hanged herself.
They only found out this morning.
It's only some girls,
what's suspicious about that?
The number of girls dying in that place is still small!
Everything's fine,
how come they just died?
They said that last night, after Bai Yutang and the others left,
some terrified bodyguards,
went to Hundred Flowers Tower to find a quick way to calm their nerves.
They drank too much and drunkenly assaulted those girls.
Call the men.
- Wrap them in mats, carry them out and bury them. - Yes, sir.
At this moment, don't let the matter get out.
Second-in-command.
- Miss Zhang. - Second-in-command is still busy.
Then I'll just wait a bit longer.
Be quicker.
It's almost done, almost done.
- Less pressure. - Okay, okay.
You're excused.
Second-in-command,
Royal Uncle wants to see you.
Okay, I'll go now. I'll go now.
Thank you.
Royal Uncle.
Second-in-command's leg isn't properly healed, how about...
- Tell him to come in. - Yes, sir.
Second-in-command, Royal Uncle wants you to go there.
Okay.
- I'll help you. - Please don't!
Miss Zhang, that's impermissible. Impermissible.
Second-in-command, you don't need to restrict yourself.
Aren't you wounded? Here.
- Thank you, Miss Zhang. - Slowly does it.
My lord!
- Be careful!- Don't, Miss Zhang!
- Stop, Miss Zhang! I'll...
I'll get up myself.
Don't, Miss Zhang. I can do it myself.
Master!
- Master! - Close the door!
My lord, I really have no intention to disrespect Miss Zhang.
Give me your cane.
Go die! Go die!
You stupid mutt, you still dare to be stubborn!
Royal Uncle!
Sister Zhang.
What is the meaning of this?
What do you mean what is the meaning of this?
This mutt doesn't respect you.
I scolded him on your behalf.
Second-in-command is injured, and his legs can't move properly.
It was I who took the initiative to support him.
If Royal Uncle wants someone to blame,
then you have to blame me,
not Second-in-command.
How was I supposed to know that you took the initiative to support him?
If Royal Uncle thinks
that helping Second-in-command today
is beneath womanly virtues,
then I'll leave Imperial Family Garden tomorrow!
It'll save Royal Uncle from feeling annoyed.
This was a misunderstanding. Purely a misunderstanding!
I thought that this mutt
used his position to disrespect you, Miss Zhang.
In this world, the number of people who are able to kill me
I'm afraid are many, but the number of people who can disrespect me,
I'm afraid I can't think of any.
I believe those words. Among the world's most unyielding women,
Sister Zhang is number one.
I'm sorry, Second-in-command.
Today's situation, blame it all on me.
I've made you suffer.
- Here, I'll help you up-- Don't!
Miss Zhang, I can stand up by myself.
Second-in-command, I'm just an ordinary country girl from the mountains,
I don't know any of your wealthy people's customs. But I just know
if someone is injured, I should go to support them.
Also, in the countryside,
this is merely a situation.
I really don't need your help, Miss Zhang.
I can stand up by myself.
You should accept Miss Zhang's kindness, .
Here.
Second-in-command, please sit.
If she tells you to sit, then sit!
- Thank you, my lord. - You should thank Miss Zhang.
Thank you, Sister Zhang- no wait!
Miss Zhang.
Sister Zhang,
I need to discuss some things with Second-in-command.
Go out and keep a lookout. Don't let anyone get near here.
Yes.
Don't move!
Let me tell you something.
Last night,
those five rats created a diversion and lured the tiger from its mountain,
the letter the Chancellor sent me
- was taken away. - Oh.
Then those five rats,
how did they know where the letter was hidden?
Those things are in the past, don't bring them up again.
Let's talk about now.
Now, we should hurry and get men
to capture the five rats and retrieve the letter.
Are you a pig? Anyone is smarter than you!
Originally... I was going to wait for Sheng Zhongyuan's return to make my move.
Looking at the sudden turn of events,
it seems we need to act earlier.
How much earlier?
Tonight.
Tonight?
Tonight, if those five rats come,
it'll be best. But If they don't come,
find people to impersonate them and attack the Imperial Garden.
After the second night's watch,
promptly go into action and set fires in all directions.
Set fire?
You're responsible for personally bringing people
to burn the Hundred Flowers Tower.
Then, the ten or so girls inside,
- what do I do with them? - Burn them all! Don't leave a single one.
This...
What do you mean?
Are you afraid? You can't bear to do it?
Are you pitying them?
No I'm not, Royal Uncle. I just think
These ten or so delicate maidens,
when we first found them, it wasn't an easy task.
Do you want them to survive and one by one run to Justice Bao to accuse me?
Yes--no. No.
I don't mean that. Royal Uncle,
your underling understands.
Remember,
this big fire was set by those five rats.
And those ten or so girls...
also died in their clutches.
Then what next?
I, Royal Uncle, will also die
in that big fire.
You...
you will also die?
That's correct. Not only will I die,
you also need to come back and mournfully
prepare my funeral arrangements.
Sister. Sister!
Brother! I'm here.
Come. Come here.
No need. Wait there, I'll be right over.
Royal Uncle, my brother's here.
He wants me to go there.
Your brother's here?
- Then you can go. - Yes.

Pang Yu and Pang Wang are upstairs.
- Let's find another place. - No.
They can see us, we can also see them.
Fourth brother's idea is for us to k-k-keep a close watch
on Pang Yu and the others.
We must make our move tonight.
- T-tonight? - Hm.
I understand.
- You should be more- - I will be careful.
- Tonight... - It's really despair giving courage even to cowards.
This 'golden cicada escape' is not bad.[To fool the enemy by leaving a shell behind as a molting cicada]
It doesn't matter if it's a 'golden cicada escape', we can't let him escape.
We planned waiting outside Imperial Garden to capture him in one fell swoop soon as he came out.
- But... - But what?- Those girls in Hundred Flowers Tower,
we can't not save them.
Our numbers,
are more than enoughto save those ten or so girls.
But to split the forces to stop Pang Yu at the same time...
then we're a bit overstretched.
This time, it looks like we made a miscalculation.
You have a stomach full of ideas, how can you miscalculate?
Don't speak nonsense!
Alright, don't fight.
We should think about how to fix the miscalculations.
I knew that once he lost the letter, the despair would give him courage,
but I never thought he'd be crazy enoughto use innocent girls as sacrificial victims.
Had I known this, we could have caught him last night, when 2nd sister-in-law had the advantage
Exactly, once we have brought down Pang Yu,
won't the others listen to us?
Big Brother, have you seen them?
Singing in chorus, this book
looks like it's already been told.
- Third Brother! - Third Brother!
I didn't speak nonsense! Aren't those two advising on hindsight?
They thought their tactics were great, smart, superior...
What now? Messing around back and forth.
In the end, it's as if we hadn't caused that Royal Uncle any trouble.
This is called both natural and man-made disaster. Don't you understand?
Even Zhuge Liang couldn't be accurate all the time.
You're rejoicing in others' misfortunes!
I'm indeed quite happy.
You two together, you think that you're really smart.
But you never expected to be just as stupid as me. Say, if I don't get happy about this,
am I not really stupid?
That's right! Old Xi'er's brain is not good.
My brain is not good either.
But by the looks of it, the brains of both of you aren't so good either.
Hey, since all of our brains are not good,
We are even! From now on, nobody can call anybody else stupid.
Right! My Kui'er said it right.
As the saying goes, we will not ask to be born on the same date,
but will ask to be stupid on the same date. If you want stupid, let's all be stupid together!
- Be stupid together!- Enough! Master Yue, ignore them.
What's your plan?
The plan is to use all our forces
to save the girls in Hundred Flowers Tower.
Then what about Pang Yu?
Just let Sleek Rat handle Pang Yu.
But can he do it by himself?
I think he should be
the world's most capable person.
Master Yue, isn't it time now
to stop being angry with him?
I think that as long as he can catch Pang Yu off guard in his attack,
no matter how many enemies he is against, they won't be able to overpower him.
Too dangerous. What if he fails?
I can find him and tell him.
Then what about us?
All of you set the plan in motion at once, draw closer to Royal Garden.
Guard well the road to Changsha. After I rendezvous with him, I'll go find you.
No, you can't.
You can't go by yourself. I will worry. I'll go with you.
Not possible. If there's anyone with me, he won't come out.
I'm not just anyone. I'm his brother!
Fifth, the situation has changed now. I--
You don't need to say it. I already know.
Since you already know,
then tonight, I'll go save the girls in Hundred Flowers Tower,
you alone are responsible for capturing Pang Yu.
Pang Yu to me, Bai Yutang, is nothing more than a turtle in a jar.
That old thief looks stupid but is actually very smart, very treacherous.
If there weren't any difficulties, I wouldn't be interested.
To make sure nothing goes wrong, I'll tell Yalan to assist you.
No need!
She's not from Kaifeng Court!
I don't care where she's from, I don't need her!
Aren't I, Bai Yutang, a lone ranger? Unrestrained, used to being alone.
Since you have so much self-confidence, I'll leave this matter to you.
I understand, don't worry.
I will definitely hand over Pang Yu alive to you.
Oh yes. Tonight, Pang Yu might not be at the Hundred Flowers Tower.
He'll be hiding in the building behind it.
Enough, don't talk so much, I already know.
But do you know that that the back passageway goes to--
- Okay, bye. - Hey!
in the next episode...
