Three Heroes and Five Gallants Episode 34
Father.
- Daughter. - Father
Daughter, are you alright?
Daughter.
You father and daughter please don't feel too bad.
This incident is entirely my fault.
I didn't do a good enough job training my subordinates and made you suffer.
- Bai Fu. - I am here.
Bring 20 taels of silver as compensation for their suffering.
Tomorrow morning, take two subordinates
and personally deliver these two across the river.
As ordered, sir.
- Daughter, show our gratitude. - Thanks to the Squire.
So grateful for what you did to save us.
Thank you for saving our lives.
Old man, please rise. No need for these.
- Daughter, let's go. - Go slowly, father.
Master Yue, is there anything else I can help you with?
Bai Yutang, I want to ask you.
Why did you abandon Miss Yalan?
Abandoned her?
Master Yue, your words puzzle me.
Stop the pretense.
Yalan and you passed as husband and wife to stay at an inn in Hua Long Village.
Everyone knows about this.
Yalan and I were a couple in name only,
without a consummated relationship.
Does anyone believe what you said?
I don't care if you believe or not.There is no regret in my heart.
Then you should explain this to everyone.
Mr. Yue, listen to me carefully.
At the start, I had no plans to marry Yalan.
It was you who spared no effort to match us.
That's because I heard
you personally promised to Yalan's mother in the woods
to take care of her for her entire life.
Let me repeat this one more time.
I never made any promise to Yalan's mother.
When I saw her mother, the old lady was barely alive.
Then how did know Yalan's name?
Because before her mother died,all she said was this name.
That means that there was an exchange between you before she died.
- What do you mean?- What do you mean?
Am I wrong?
Ask everyone to listen and judge for themselves!
Who do you think you are? This is my place. We won't tolerate your insolence.
Because I'm right. I can go anywhere without fear when reason is on my side.
Is it me or you who is unreasonable here?
Of course it's you.
Don't you know what it means when a man promises to take care of a woman for life?
I don't care what it means.
You are still trying to deny.
I deny?
Fine, let me tell you.
Even if I'd promised anything to Yalan's mother, it isn't important now.
Why? Because there is now you, Master Yuehua.
Your feelings for Miss Yalan
far exceed mine for her.
She is a woman. She can't just get married casually when you want.
Moreover, everyone understands one has to keep one's commitment.
Fine, since you have taken the conversation this far,
then let me tell you this,
Had it no been for your interference, Yalan and I wouldn't be where we are today.
When did I interfere?
I remember that when we first returned to Longzhen,
you went to Kaifeng to deliver a message the same day.
Did you return at midnight? What happened then?
Then you secretly went into Yalan's room and stayed overnight.
As for what you said and did that night,
I believe only you yourselves know the details.
However, I was not suspicious at that time,
because of the extraordinary circumstances at the time.
I didn't think it was such a big deal for a man and a woman to stay overnight in the same room.
However, I asked Yalan the next day.
Yalan told me that nothing had happened the night before.
I also asked you later. You said you came back the next morning.
Why did you two
conspire to lie to me about that night?
So you projected your petty mind on the righteous to figure out what happened?
Whatever you say.
Then I connected that with your baseless,
pushy demeanor towards me.
I feel anyone would have been suspicious.
You have an ulterior motive. Am I right?
Everyone says you are narrow-minded, petty and opinionated.
I finally see that today for myself.
You are not just petty,
but basically intolerant of any differences.
Well said, intolerant.
That is the way I am, alright?
I am intolerant. I am opinionated.
I can't match your scheming trickery.
I am sorry. I Bai Yutang can't match your skill. I won't play the game anymore.
It's not up to you not to play. You can't just ditch this.
I am telling you, lad.
When pressed, a man can climb onto the roof, and a dog can jump over the wall.
When pressed, the rabbit could bite a person and the rat would dig a hole.
You...
Stop arguing.
Sister Yuehua, I beg you.
Please don't play around anymore.
You called her sister?
I was trying so hard to defend you. How could you reveal my identity?
Yuehua, I know you are doing this for my good,
but we have already created a serious misunderstanding.
How much longer do you want to keep it under wraps?
Fine, I won't bother with the business between you two.
Bai Yutang, I am warning you.
If you tell anyone about this,
I will cut off your tongue.
Since when did you know that she was a woman?
It's since that night you mentioned.
Then why didn't you tell me sooner?
Because I promised to keep it a secret for her.
Fifth Master, don't worry.
I won't cling on you.
I will pay back your favor of saving my life in the next lifetime.
Goodbye.
Yalan!
I am sorry.

Ah, right.
This is what the Magistrate wanted to give you.
This was issued by Kaifeng Court.
But Master said
that he already submitted his petition to the Imperial Court
asking His Majesty to pardon your crimes.
Yalan.
Although I committed serious crimes,
I have never been afraid.
I know.
Master said that this time Thief Pang
suffered a major setback. He will seek an opportunity to revenge.
He asked you to be careful.
Also, there is also news that
Imperial Cat Zhan Zhao recently appeared in Pang's residence.
Zhan Zhao?
Prime Minister,
When I returned from Changsha to Chengzhou,
I learnt that Royal Uncle had alreadyfallen into Bao Zheng's hands.
Several times I thought of rescuing him,
but security was heavy and I couldn't find an opportunity to do so.
You were not at Chengzhou at the time. You can't be blamed for this.
Let's do this. Hero Zhan should first rest for a few days.
I may possibly have some important things
to trouble Hero Zhan.
Alright.
Zhan Zhao is willing to offer his support to the Prime Minister.
[Imperial Envoy Field Headquarters]
Magistrate, Squire Lu and Fifth Master Bai are here.
Master.
Aiya.
I asked you to invite Gallant Bai with courtesy.
Why do you bring him here in this manner?
I have committed serious crimes.
It's the right time to be tied up and seek forgiveness.
Hurry up to untie him. Hurry up.
- Thanks Master.- I dare not.
Please get up, Gallant Bai.
Gallant Bai,
Although you sneaked into the Forbidden Palace,
and committed crimes deserving the death penalty,
you captured Pang Yu
and intercepted 10,000 taels of gold.
You were the top contributor to both events.
I have already petitioned His Majesty
to pardon your crimes on account of your merits
and find you innocent of all charges.
I am grateful for the Magistrate's help.
Gallant Bai,
the Imperial Court is currentlybeset by upheavals.
We need talent.
For the country and the people, I hope
that you can bury past grudges,
put the Country first, and pacify the land.
If this time
the Imperial Court is willing to pardon me,
then I will be willing
to follow you as my guide.

Mother tiger,
why is that in the Magistrate's residence
there is no fish in the stream?
Stinky, don't think of fish all day.
Even Fifth Brother has returned.
Today I saw the pretty boy again
try to hang around Yalan.
- Really? - Really.
This pretty boy...
Every time I think of him, I want to beat him up
for our Fifth Brother.
Good.
You are my man. You want to beat him up.
I will beat him up.
Then let's do it.
At dinner tonight,
if this pretty boy dares to sit next to Yalan,
I will then...
Beat him to a pulp.
However, Mother Tiger,
our Fourth Brother is following
this pretty boy all the time.
At the time we want to beat up the pretty boy,
if Fourth Brother jumps in to stop us, then what do we do?
Then...
He...he is my Fourth Brother-in-law.
I can't hit him.
My tigress,
but I am his Third Brother.
I can hit him.
Good, then this is the way.
Tonight, I will beat the pretty boy first.
If Fourth Brother-In-law
dares to defend him,
I will pummel him to death.
Pummel.
Gently!
I am hungry.
Have some buns.
- Sit, sit. - Yuehua, dinner time.
Here, Fourth. Come.
Ah, black buns again?
Congee with vegetables?
It just this bun and congee. They are not bad. Hurry up and eat.
Hey! Pretty boy!
Stand up. That's Fifth Brother's seat.
Qiukui, what nonsense are you saying?
What about our tigress' words?
Is your ear stuffed with chicken feathers?
She told you to get up.
Third Master,
what's the matter with you?
Sister Yalan,
you belong to my Fifth Brother.
You should not stay so close to Pretty Boy.
Otherwise, you are mistreating my Fifth Uncle.
I cannot agree to it.
Third Brother, Third Sister-In-Law, why so agitated today?
Fourth Brother, stay away from this.
I am telling you. It's you
chasing after Pretty Boy all day.
- You are just a Pretty Boy hanger on. - What are you doing? What are you doing
- Do you still have your brothers in your heart? You all, sit down and eat.
Sit.
Bai Yutang.
How dare you hit my Fifth Uncle? I am going to beat you up.
Go away. Go away.
What is going on?
What are you doing? Do you still regard me as the Eldest Brother?
You only know to say "Do you still regard me as the Eldest Brother"
but you are more stupid than I.
You are the boss. Aiya, Big Brother.
I see you as the Big Brother.
Big Brother, have you not noticed that...
Let go.
They are bullying us.
Third Brother,
why do you say that?
Did you hear some gossip?
Why do you make a scene without knowing the facts?
Fourth, how did I hear some gossip?
How did I make a scene without facts?
All day long,
you act like a little puppy around Pretty Boy.
Do you still see us as your brothers?
What do you want to do?
Do you still see us as your brothers?
Everyone, everyone,
what is going on with you all?
How can you start fighting with each other?
Guard Wang, how could I say about this?
Squire Lu, just tell us your view.
I feel that this is Master Yue's fault.
How is Master Yue at fault?
Before Yalan's mother was murdered, she'd met Fifth Brother.
Yalan's mother personally entrusted Yalan
to the care of Fifth Brother under those special circumstances.
Out of integrity, Fifth Brother accepted the responsibility without hesitation.
I heard about this, but...
but after a while, Fifth Brother discovered
that Yalan and Master Yue were often together.
Sometimes even in the middle of the night they were still in the same room.
However, even now they don't admit to it.
- Don't admit now. - About this...
Third and Qiukui told me about this.
But in consideration of my brothers' dignity,
I didn't bring up the issue.
I can't stand this anymore.
Big Brother, this is a misunderstanding.
It's a grave misunderstanding.
- What misunderstanding?- How can this be a misunderstanding?
Everyone, everyone.
Is it truly so, Master Yue?
No,
it's really not like that.
Fourth Brother, how was it not?
Fourth, do you still regard me as the Eldest Brother?
- How can you side with the outsiders? - Big Brother, I didn't side with outsiders.
You don't see your Big Brother at all.
You just side with outsiders.
Who do you respect in your eyes? Who do you respect in your eyes now?
Shut up. Shut up.
Guard Wang, let's hear your view.
Master Yue, you are to blame for this.
As the saying goes, you should not get too close with your friend's wife. Friend --
Bai Yutang.
Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother.
Third Brother,
will you tell everyone if I'm instigating you?
Fifth Brother, don't worry.
Your Third Brother
is here to hold justice for you.
And your Third Sister-in-law.
I tell you, if this pretty boy want to bully you,
it is the same as bullying me.
I won't accept it. I will beat him to a pulp.
The Magistrate is here.
Master.
No need to say anything. I already know everything.
How much longer do you intend to keep this up?
When I saw you for the first time,
I already knew it.
- Since Master knows everything, just admit it, Miss Yue. - Shut up.
Miss!
9 out of 10 men are unobservant.
Her female characteristics are so obvious,
how come you haven't noticed?
Alright, alright, everything is fine now.
Continue with your meal. It's fine now.
Please take care, Magistrate.
Hey, did you tell them?
How could I? It really wasn't me.
So you all knew that she is a woman.
So,
I was puzzled. ..
Don't you think that this man
looks just like a woman.
This neither Yin nor Yang...
I didn't realize
she was a tigress.
Can't you just love me a little?
What qualifications does she have to be called a tigress?
In my view, she has none of a tiger's might.
At most, she is just a female rat.
Enough, enough.
Only you alone
con-continue to whine.
How about me?
S-s-s-top it.
This Young Master...
no...Miss Yue
is also so odd.
A d-decent g-girl...
why dress up
like a man without any reason?
For a girl to go out,
it is much easier dressed as a man.
That makes sense.
In my opinion, it is good to have this commotion about her.
At least we can get along without awkwardness in the future.
I was wondering
why did Fourth Uncle follow her everywhere all day.
It's because Fourth Uncle
already knew she was a female.
I think that Fourth
is interested in Yuehua.
It would be normal if he is interested in Miss Yuehua.
However, practically speaking,
with his looks and qualities, Miss Yuehua...
Fourth Uncle...
Fourth Uncle disappeared.
Fifth is right.
Based on his qualities,
he can't even compare to my Mother Tiger.
With his looks, it's not even better
- than mine. - Enough, enough.
Can we just eat, alright?

As decreed, on my return to the Capital,
I am here to report the completion of my task to Your Majesty.
Please rise.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
You worked hard on this trip to Chenzhou.
Responding to Your Majesty,
in this trip to Chenzhou,
I discovered that the former Imperial Envoy--
The various memorials that you sent,
I have reviewed them.
Pang Yu and Sun Rong this time
deserved their guilty verdict.
You handled this matter very well.
Your Majesty, there is still another important matter
for your wise judgment.
Speak.
Before I went to Chenzhou,
Prime Minister Pang Ji sent a letter to Pang Yu
alerting him to escape to Changsha,
and joining with the Prince of Changsha, Zhao Jue.
This is an attempt to plan for unlawful acts.
I ask Your Majesty to examine this closely.
Your Majesty, Bao Zheng
is making a baseless accusation.
I never wrote such a letter to Pang Yu.
Your Majesty, I have the letter in my hand.
You...you...how do we know
that you didn't ask someone to
forge my handwriting?
Bao Zheng,
where is this letter at this time?
I submit it for Your Majesty's review.
Your Majesty,
Your Majesty, I am innocent.
I am innocent.
Bao Zheng, this letter,
even if the Prime Minister
personally wrote it,
has no great impact.
This...
The Prince of Changsa is my royal uncle.
Prime Minister cared for his son,
and asked Pang Yu
to go to Changsa
to hide out for a while.
Then he would ask
Royal Uncle to beg to me for leniency
to spare his life.
Even though this is the wrongful path,
I feel
it is understandable.
Your Majesty is wise.
My Royal Uncle has been allocated Changsa as his territory,
to help me
defend the southern border. He performs a valuable service.
I am extremely respectful of my Royal Uncle.
The relationship between us has been harmonious.
Even if Pang Yu
went to seek refuge at Royal Uncle's place,
probably,
it would not have anything to do with planning any unlawful act.
I was careless with my language.
I submit myself to Your Majesty's punishment.
Rise up, you all.
Thanks to Your Majesty.
Who else has any matter to report?
Your Majesty,
Bao Zheng was sent to Chenzhou to arrest Bai Yutang, Sheng Zongyuan, and their accomplices.
According to what I know, Sheng Zongyuan
is still missing.
But Bai Yutang is currently in Kaifeng,
free from the law.
I ask for Your Majesty's review.
Magistrate Bao did mention it on his report.
Although Bai Yutang trespassed into the Royal Palace,
he was able to repent and turn a new leaf.
He not only captured Pang Yu alive,
but also saved the lives of over 10 women,
and voluntarily donated the 10,000 gold taels that he'd stolen, to support the disaster victims.
That's why Magistrate Bao mentioned on his report
that he hopes that I can give him a chance to change his ways.
Let me spare him.
I hope everyone will discuss this matter in depth.
Your Majesty,
Bai Yutang trespassed into the Royal Palace twice. His crime is unforgivable!
If we don't kill him now, others will follow suit in the future.
The government dignity will then completely vanish.
Your Majesty, Bai Yutang left a poem on the Martyr's shrine.
This was not only disrespectful towards Palace Maid Kou,
but also contained a sarcastic message to Your Majesty.
This mad man who fails to respect his elders and superiors
must be strictly punished to stop other from following suit.
May Your Majesty issue a decree to punish Bai Yutang severely.
Your Majesty,
right now, the government is swamped with problems, and this is a time to use able men.
I think that we must be forgiving and flexible with these Jianghu gallants,
and prioritize their enlistment.
Use their talent as ours and let them work for the government.
Your Majesty, what Magistrate Bao said was very right.
Killing one Bai Yutang
not only can't eliminate the whole lot of forest outlaws,
it will even make these Jianghu people wary of us.
While enlisting one Bai Yutang
can even appease these Jianghu people.
Your Majesty, it's said that attacking the city should come last, attacking the heart should come first.
Rather than killing a bunch of troublemakers,
why not just enlist them?
Use Jianghu gallants to deal with Jianghu evils.
Using poison to counter poison, is really a good tactic.
Your Majesty, you must not!
It's hard to eradicate the vicious nature of those Jianghu bandits.
Even if we enlist them, their original character will surely come out
with any sign of disturbance or trouble.
Everything you all have said is reasonable.
I will think more about this.
Let's break first.
Court dismissed!
Respectfully sending Your Majesty off!
This Bai Yutang...should I let him stay or kill him?
Your Majesty is brilliant. If Bai Yutang obeys your orders,
then he shouldn't be killed.
But if he only listens to Kaifeng Court
and not you, then...
The Chancellor's side lost 2 lives this time.
If Bai Yutang joins Kaifeng Court too...
Then the pole on Your Majesty's hands will be off balance.
In our current government, I can use Bao Zheng to deal with anyone
who won't listen to advice, or does unreasonable things.
But...if Bao Zheng's strength becomes so huge,
who will I then use to control him?
That's right. This Kaifeng Court has assembled so many martial arts experts.
Once they start not listening to orders, they'll go for anyone who they see corrupt...
Arresting and killing. Eventually, low and high officials will all be killed.
Your Majesty will have to send the Palace Guards
to act as officials in the cities left without civil servants.
This Bai Yutang must be killed.
Including those five rats.
Your Majesty, all five must be killed?
Are you saying that I'm too cruel?
No. No. No.
Your Majesty is the world's most benevolent emperor.
I can't avoid being cruel.
Who told me to be the Emperor?
Gallant Bai, don't worry.
Even if I risk losing my position,
I will still make sure to guarantee your survival.
Hearing Master's words, I'm already satisfied.
As they say, a real man should be of indomitable spirit while alive and die in a grand way.
Moreover, Pang Yu and Sun Rong will serve as my cushion.
- I really can die without regrets.- Fifth Brother need not be like that.
The present Emperor is benevolent and forgiving. I don't think he will make things difficult for you.
Magistrate, Eunuch Wang is here.
He's inviting you and the five gallants to go and receive the imperial decree.
[Fair and Incorruptible]
As determined by Heaven, the Emperor orders
that 6th rank Imperial Guards
Wang Chao, Lu Fang, Xu Qing, and Jiang Ping
to lead Han Zhang and Bai Yutang this afternoon
into the Palace to receive their rewards and positions.
That's all.
We accept the decree and thank His Majesty's grace.
Long live His Majesty!
Your Majesty, I'm back already.
Did you read the decree?
I did.
Come.
Bring me two cups.
Your Majesty, how come one cup is water
while one cup is tea? Both coming from this pitcher.
In the center of that pitcher, there's a divider.
If you press the left button, what comes out is water.
Pressing the right one will make tea come out.
It's true.
Your Majesty, may I daringly ask one question. This is to...?
I've invited the Five Rats this afternoon to drink some imperial wine.
You first serve Wang Chao a cup of wine without poison.
And then you serve each of the Five Rats a cup of...
With poison.
Go back and train well. You must become very skilled with it.
Yes.
Gallant Bai, I'm going to remind you one thing.
Once you're in the palace, no matter what His Majesty rewards you with,
you must absolutely not reject it.
Magistrate, don't worry. I won't be reckless any more.
Magistrate, it's already time. We'll set out now.
Fine. Once you're in the palace, you all must listen to Wang Chao's command at all times.
We understand.
Let's go.
Mother Tiger.
Saihua, I'm going now.
Whatever the emperor gives to you,
I don't care about it one bit.
I just want you to be safe.
Safe. Safe.
When you go into the palace, you must be extra careful. I'll wait for you to come back.
Don't worry. I won't cause trouble again.
Take good care of yourself.
Mother Tiger,
Magistrate Bao already said it.
This time after coming back from the Palace,
there'll be plenty of wine. Let's get plastered.
Then, you drink wine while I'll eat mantou.
You drink these many bowls of wine, and I'll eat the same number of mantou.
Everyone, it's already late.
We should set out now.
Go now. Let's go drink wine!
Second Sister-in-law, what official position do you think
the Emperor will grant Second and Fifth Brothers?
I don't know.
It must be the same as Big Brother and Third Brother, 6th ranked Imperial Guards.
6th Rank? What kind of position is a 6th rank?
I heard that a county magistrate is a 7th rank.
Then a 6th rank should be 1 position higher than a county magistrate.
Ha? Higher than a county official?
That's quite good.
Your Majesty.
Do you remember clearly what's inside which side of that pitcher?
Your Majesty, don't worry. I remember clearly.
Remember, don't make a mistake.
Guard Liu.
Guard Wang.
The Emperor ordered us to come to the Palace. Please report we're here, Captain Liu.
I've already been informed by the Palace.
All of you go to Fushan Shouhai Hall and wait there, please.
I can't hear what they're saying.
Go. Walk. Go in.
Busy? Everyone's busy?
Hello. You've worked hard. You've worked hard.
You know all of them?
I don't.
In the Jianghu, we may make use of them in the future.
Everyone, please wait up here.I'll take my leave now.
- Thank you. Thank you.- Thank you, Guard Liu.
Fifth Brother, Second Brother, look.
What do you make of this place? This Old Emperor--
- What's this place?- Lower your voice.
E-e-emperor.
Fifth Brother!
Your Majesty, Wang Chao and the Five Rats are waiting outside.
Let's go.
Your Majesty, Envoy Magic Eagle requests an audience.
-Little Luzi - I'm here.
Take the Imperial wine and go there first.
- Tell Wang Chao and the others to wait there. - Yes.
I'll arrive later.
Yes.
Hurry and let him in.
The two of you leave first.
Yes.
Respectful greetings, Your Majesty.
- Rise. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
What's the situation with the Prince of Changsha?
Your Majesty, the Prince of Changsha has recently taken 12 groups of pirates
from Tongting's Jun Mountains.In total, he has over 30,000 men.
Jun Mountains pirates, plus the Hengshan and Xiangxi mountain bandits
added up...
Then he can already move 80 - 90 thousand troops.
In recent years, the Prince of Changsha has been imitating the Four Lords of the Warring States.
Taking retainers without restraint,
Enlisting all sorts of bandits and pirates.
His death squad is no less than 1000 men. Besides...
What else?
The Prince of Changsha publicly calls these men
his imperial army.
in the next episode...
