Episode 6
After, we made a blood promise to never mention this to a fifth person
or else we'll become like the corpses hidden under the Heavenly King's statue.
Just like that, twenty years passed.
I thought this matter would be like those corpses
and go with us to the graves, until I found this.
Timing and Subtitles by The Chivalrous Team @ Viki
I knew that finally one of us couldn't hold it in anymore.
As expected, the next day I found out that His Majesty was to make a trip here.
I was afraid that the event which happened 20 years ago would be exposed when the statue was reapinted
so I offered to come with His Majesty.
Now that I think about it, this was all schemed by Ouyang Haotian.
The two other ministers must have received the same thing too.
It was really karma.
Abbess, I have committed such a filthy act at the temple,
I'm very ashamed.
Amitabha.
Life and death; when will life and death be solved?
Something and nothing; how do you divide something and nothing when they depend on each other?
Benefactor Zhou, the law of truth can be seen.
Bitter, dirty, impermanence will disappear in seconds.
They do not appear due to former occasion or die due to latter ocassion.
Someone who makes things happen does not have to be responsible.
Benefactor Zhou, you are the only one who has not been able to let this matter go.
If Ouyang Haotian and I would have received this advice sooner
perhaps none of this would have happened.
Amitabha.
Minister Wang, let's go.
- Someone come and have Minister Zhou locked away.- Here!
Yes!
Wait. Minister Zhou,
I want to know the identities of the four concubines hidden under the Heavenly Kings.
I don't know. Now no one will ever know.
Some things are better left unknown than known.
Take this as my advice.
The case is solved.
Today we can have a good night's sleep.
But I really never thought that you two would work so well on solving a case together.
Miss Tong, don't misunderstand.
We didn't work together, we just happened to have the same opinion.
Who is it?
What do you mean "who is it"? What are you thinking about?
It hurts!
Are you still thinking about the case from 20 years ago?
That Zhou Dao's words were incomplete and untruthful.
I feel like he covered up some important information.
And there are still a lot of questions left unanswered.
Tomorrow I want to ask His Majesty to have the corpses removed from under the Heavenly Kings
and see if there is any way to identify them.
This case has already been solved, so why are you trying to dig up something unrelated to this case?
Don't you think those four concubines died very terribly?
It's a pity if we can't even identify them in the end.
In the end it's all about women.
What does this have to do with women?
What do you mean? Think about it, if it was four men buried under there
would you still be so interested?
You've got a point.
Okay, about Li Wanqing. Since we've returned her innocence,
I will be generous today
and go with you to visit her. I can look, but you're not allowed to look.
Let's go.
Killing someone and hiding them inside a statue...
How can such a cruel thing be done?
It's completely unthinkable.
It cannot be imagined.
Ouyang Haotian was a general who fought for the previous Emperor
and was constantly on war grounds. This would've been nothing to him.
Young Sir Di,
- I have to bother you with something. - Please say.
It's really such a pity for the concubines to be hidden there.
Could you ask His Majesty to give them a proper burial?
No problem.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Miss Wanqing, you're so nice,
unlike some people
who only know how to find evidence all day long.
- What is it?- Nothing.
Miss Wanqing, you're very kind-hearted. Buddha will definitely look after you.
Maybe because I'm an orphan that grew up here,
my feelings for this place are deeper.
So you grew up here since you were young?
The abbess said I was only three months old when they found me. I was small and skinny.
Xiao Hu, what are you doing? Why are you making her think of sad thoughts?
It's nothing.
Oh right, the case has been solved. Are you lot going to leave?
We're leaving after two days.
That fast?
When you lot leave, it's going to be quiet and empty here again.
How could it be? When I'm free, I
and Xiao Hu will come and visit you, right?
Who wants to come with you? I'll come by myself.
I will follow you!
You're so annoying, stop being so annoying!
You're annoying us all.
Come, come, let's go eat.
Both of you, stop there!
- Let's go.- Miss Mengyao.
Xiao Hu!
Young Master, comfortable?
Comfortable.
- Are you enjoying it?- Oh it h-h-hurts here, not so strong!
Both of you, be quiet.
Er Bao, where did you get this from?
Oh, I picked it up in the grass, Young Master said he wants them.
Young Master, you helped His Majesty solve such a big case.
Would he be happy and give you an official position?
Don't dream.
It's true! Your contributions were much greater than the one who solved the acrostic poem!
Are you looking for death?
How does it stick together?
Is there a secret compartment?
It seems so. Is this related to the case?
You two should stop being so suspecting, as if everything's related to the case.
But then again, Minister Zhang is really something.
Why would he write a poem when he's about to die?
He has time to write, but no time to save himself?
Er Bao, say it again.
I said you two should stop being so suspecting-
Not this one; the last sentence.
Last? I said that he has time to write, but no time to save himself.
It's wrong.
It's all wrong.
What's all wrong?
Ouyang Haotian, Zhou Dao, it's all wrong.
What are you saying?
Why did we forget this point?
This case still isn't solved.
What do you mean?
Er Bao, paper and brush.
Let's review the case.
In the first case, the General Zhao Shuangquan died in a secret room.
When he died everybody had proof they weren't there,
except for Zhang Jinpeng.
But we now know that he isn't the murderer.
In the second case, the victim said that he knew the culprit,
but before he could tell who the murderer was, he was killed.
The killer made use of the rain and footprints to make it seem like they weren't at the scene and extended the time of the crime.
In this case, we were all suspects.
And then on the victim's body we found an acrostic poem with the killer's name.
We decided that the murderer was Ouyang Haotian.
Key suspect Ouyang Haotian
But what's wrong here?
But before we could catch Ouyang Haotian,
he was killed by Zhou Dao.
And Zhou Dao killed Ouyang Haotian because he guessed that he was the murderer for the previous cases,
and killed him to protect himself.
Look, can you see what's wrong?
I know! It's Ouyang Haotian!
Yes, it is Ouyang Haotian. When everybody pointed to Ouyang Haotian as the culprit,
we did not have enough evidence to prove this.
- Don't we have the acrostic poem?- It's the poem that's been pointing us in the wrong direction.
It's made us neglect the questions left at the crime scenes.
In the first case when everybody had their alibi for not being present at the murder scene,
how did the culprit kill someone? In the second case,
everybody could've been suspects. How could we be sure of the murderer?
Then you're questioning my logic and think I analyzed the acrostic poem wrongly?
No, your analysis was not wrong.
The main problem is the acrostic poem.
What's wrong with the poem?
I'm thinking that the suicide note Zhang Jinpeng left behind may have been a trap.
How could it be? The suicide note was definitely written by him.
The problem isn't whether he wrote it or not, but when he wrote it.
Er Bao just reminded me of this problem.
- Me?- That's right, didn't you mock Zhang Jinpeng for having time to write a poem but no time to escape?
Think about it. If someone was to kill you, would they wait until you finish writing
before killing you?
- That means...- Zhou Dao also said
after the first victim was murdered, he guessed that the culprit was Ouyang Haotian.
If Zhou Dao thought that, Zhang Jinpeng also could have suspected him.
If so, then this acrostic poem
was not a message to us after seeing the culprit
but rather the victim's guess on who the murderer is?
After Zhao Shuangquan was murdered, Zhang Jinpeng had a feeling that he might also be killed.
So he wanted to meet me.
He suspected Ouyang Haotian was the killer, so he hurriedly wrote his name down in the acrostic poem.
He didn't think the killer would find out.
The killer did according to plan
and killed Zhang Jinpeng before he could meet with me
and successfully passed the blame onto Ouyang Haotian.
But the criminals have either been killed or arrested.
Then who is the murderer?
C-could the killer really be the Heavenly King?
Heavenly King? Enigmatic concubines? Motive for murder?
What is the hidden truth? It looks like
if we don't solve the mystery from 20 years ago, we won't be able to end this.
Dragon-Slaying Hall
- Greetings, my lord.- Stand up.
Thank you, my lord.
You are wise, my lord. Li Zhi is currently indulging himself with the Ganye Temple and won't be leaving soon.
He has no interest engaging in court affairs.
What a useless bunch, always surrendering to women.
- The Li family's descendants are such embarrassments.- Lately there's been rumours of ghosts at Ganye Temple.
The ministers that went along have all died. Everyone is saying that the Heavenly Kings are killing people.
Ghosts?
The only ghost is in people's minds.
It looks like someone has something against Li Zhi.
Fine then, we'll save some energy
and let them suffer a bit first. Wait for my next orders. We'll decide after everything's been played out.
- Yes, my lord.- Go on.

Sir Di, why must you find the granny?
She is the only one left who has connections with the case 20 years ago.
If we don't solve the mystery of the concubines' death, the Heavenly King will continue killing.
But she's just a crazy old grandma, her words...
Only a crazy person's words can be trusted.
- Then, Sir Di, please go by yourself.- No, the granny only speaks to you. You must come!
Wait. Granny doesn't like strangers, so don't talk too much. Just follow me.
Okay.
Granny!
Granny?
Granny!
- Granny.- No, don't come over.
- Don't kill me! Don't kill me!- Granny, don't be afraid. It's me.
Granny, don't fear. I'm Wanqing's friend. We've met before.
Wanqing? Wanqing's friend?
Wanqing's good. Wanqing's good.
Granny, we have a question about the Heavenly King for you.
- Heavenly King?- Yes, the one inside the Heavenly Kings’ Hall--
The Heavenly King kills people! He killed those from outside.
Killed, killed. I saw it. The head had been
chopped off. Killed. All killed.
Burial goods. Burial goods!
- Burial goods? What's that?- You all are burial goods.
It's a curse. Deserve to die. You all deserve to die.
You evil people! Anyone who goes against the Heavenly King needs to die!
- Needs to die!- Granny, who is going against the Heavenly King?
Buddha says I can't tell. Can't tell.
Can't tell. Can't tell.
Granny!
Wanqing. Wanqing, what's wrong?
Who is it?
Wanqing.
Wanqing. Wanqing.

Right now the remaining clue is also gone. What do you think we should do?
Who is this person?
You're the only one who fought with him. Who do you think he might be?
I don't know.
- Just that... - Just what?
Mengyao, how's Wanqing? Why are you shaking your head? I'm asking you how is she.
Her breathing and pulse are normal. But I don't know why she is not waking up.
- Then how long would she need to sleep? - If she's lucky,
she should wake up in two to four hours.
If she's unlucky...
- Move away.- Xiao Hu. Where are you going, Xiao Hu?
- What are you doing? - Let him calm down.
Don't blame yourself. The Heavens will help Miss Wanqing.
Instead of wallowing here, why don't you find the killer and appease your anger?
If you didn't say, I still would have done it.
Not even letting an innocent person go. That's too far.
I will bet my life to bring the culprit to justice.
Brother Wang, I'm sorry for bickering with you previously.
Please help me now.
I will. Oh right. What did you discover in the cave?
Nothing. When I was questioning the crazy women, the murderer came and killed her.
Also, the murderer was wearing the Heavenly King's mask.
- Looks like the culprit noticed you already.- Probably.
He doesn't want you to find out what happened 20 years ago and killed the crazy lady.
Looks like you're right: the killer is one of us.
If the murderer is not one of the four ministers,
then it's the Four Heavenly Kings.
- Minister Zhou!- Minister Zhou!
I will visit Minister Zhou; you go find my father.
Okay.
You... Aren't you dead? Who are you? How did you get in?
Don't kill me! Help! Save me!
How could this be here?
Yuanfang.
Er Bao.
What is that?
Earthworms.
Snakes are very sensitive to earthworms' body fluids. That's how the killer attracted the snakes here.
Heavenly King Guangmu is the murderer this time.
Great, now the four Heavenly Kings can meet together.
Unfortunately, we're a step behind again.
Who could it be?
Who dares to play us in their hands like this?
Uncle Wang. I have a question. I don't know if you'll answer me.
Say it.
When General Zhao died, Grand Tutor Du mentioned that you two didn't get along.
He said you looked down on his poor upbringing and that he was undeserving of his General position.
What? Are you suspecting that I killed Zhao Shangquan?
I don't dare. I just want to learn more about General Zhao.
You're saying Zhao Shuangquan?
Actually, I admire him very much.
He is not a simple person. He's able to make judgments pretty well.
Ouyang Haotian and he used to be soldiers of Crown Prince Yin's, Li Jiancheng's, household.
It originally seemed like they had no career potential.
However, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the two of them suddenly revolted and betrayed Li Jiancheng.
They helped the previous Emperor bring down the Eastern Palace without a fight.
Since then, the two became well-known and all of a sudden
became the previous Emperor's trusted followers.
Since then, they had a smooth career with many promotions.
So Ouyang Haotian and Zhao Shuangquan were Li Jiancheng 's old units?
Indeed.
Burial goods? People who revolted against the Heavenly Kings?
Four concubines, Xuanwu Gate Incident...
Where is the connection?
Ninth year of the Wude Era...
First year of the Zhenguan Era...
If it's like this...
It's like this.
So the secret was like this.
Hey, where are you going?
To find His Majesty.
- Zhou Dao was killed in the woodshed?- Yes.
So you're saying the killer is someone else?
It seems, the missing concubine case is not as simple.
I suspect this has something to do with the Xuanwu Gate Incident from long ago.
- Your Majesty.- Abbess Ming Kong.
Thank you for helping Wanqing regain her innocence.
There's not much I can prepare here－ I brought some iced bayberry juice for you all to enjoy.
- Thank you, Abbess Ming Kong.- Much thanks.
Your Majesty.
Looks very tasty.
Who knew that this small temple would have ice hiding here?
Consider me greedy. Normally I don't have a lot of preferences. I just love this iced bayberry juice,
so every year we would prepare a little.
Wait.
That's not right.
What's wrong?
Ice? Small clay figures...
Is it like this or is there something still wrong?
Is there something wrong?
Abbess Ming Kong, can I ask who is in charge of the ice?
Because the ice is valuable, only a few abbesses and I know about it.
That makes sense, then. All of the mysteries have been solved.
The murderer of General Zhao and Minister Zhang is her.
Di Renjie, why did you bring everyone to this room?
Your Majesty, I want to expose the truth behind Minister Zhao's death.
Brother Wang.
Th culprit actually used a very easy mechanism. Everybody, please look here.
What is that?
Please imagine that this dummy is Minister Zhao.
The killer first drugged General Zhao so that he was unconscious
and then placed the sword here where it could pierce his neck.
Why did the killer take such great pains to kill him?
To create the evidence of not being at the crime scene.
Mengyao, do you remember the situation at the time?
I remember we heard something breaking from this room.
After, all of us rushed to Minister Zhao's room, but aside from his body,
there was no one else.
That's right. We always thought that the killer accidentally broke the clay pot when he was killing Minister Zhao,
so those who were not present during the pot breaking were excluded as suspects.
But in reality, when the clay pot broke, the killer was already away from the crime scene.
What?
The killer brought the unconscious Minister Zhao here, and used the clay figures to secure the prop.
At the correct time, the clay pot naturally fell.
But how did they make the clay pot fall?
The murderer used a very simple item.
Mengyao.
I prepared bayberry juice for everyone.
Bayberry juice? This...
That's not right, it's ice. Unless...
Grand Tutor Du is very percetive. That's right,
it's ice.
The murderer placed the ice on the floor
a wooden stick on top, followed by the clay pot.
When the ice slowly melts...
It's like this. When the ice melts, it becomes water.
So when we arrived at the scene, we would find strange liquid on the floor.
But according to what you said, anyone could've been the killer.
You could say so, you can also say it is not.
Explain.
I never solved this hurdle because I didn't know that the temple had an ice house.
But I found this secret when Abbess Ming Kong gave us bayberry juice today.
Ice here is very valuable. In the temple, only four people can access the ice.
That is Abbess Ming Kong, Abbess Yan Wen,
Abbess Hui Yuan, and Li Wanqing. The four of them.
So you're saying the murderer is among those four?
- That's right.- Young Master, how could that be?
Abbesses believe in benevolence and salvation.
Sister Wanqing is so tender and very pretty. How can it be?
I don't know if anyone has noticed that there is a defect in this setup:
after the murder, the murderer has to risk coming back to retrieve the props.
Retrieve the props?
Young Master, are you talking about this?
Yes, and the clay figures.
The culprit must came back to retrieve the props after the murder. Otherwise there would be big trouble.
Therefore the culprit must pretend to be the first person to see the corpse.
How could this be?
Therefore, you are the murderer.
The time you reckoned the jar would break, you went to check the rooms with Abbess Yan Wen.
What happened?
When you heard the jar break, you Abbess Yan Wen went to Minister Zhao's room.
Benefactor Zhao. Benefactor Zhao, are you okay? Benefactor Zhao--
The door is unlocked.
Benefactor Zhao.
H-He is dead...
- Amitabha. Quick. Quickly go find someone. - Okay, okay.
You used your inconvenient mobility as your excuse to tell Abbess Yan Wen to find someone.
At this time, you quickly withdrew the clay figures, ice and the wooden stick.
You originally wanted to wipe the water away, but Yuanfang and I arrived.
You had no choice but to leave the water on the ground.
How can Abbess kill Minister Zhao? It's not possible.
Speaking of that, I also didn't see the clay figures.
Abbess Yan Wen, think carefully. Did you not notice it, not see it,
or were you too frightened to look?
This... I really can't remember.
No. This can't be.
Your Majesty it's definitely a mistake.
Abbess is in bad health. Walking is also inconvenient for her.
Even if she could somehow manage the first murder, what about the second one?
Plus, Wanqing was attacked by someone dressed in black, and the culprit escaped.
Abbess couldn't have done it.
Oh, yeah. Where did the clay figures come from?
Why does seeing the prop mean that it's a crime scene?
Di Renjie, how will you explain this?
Your Majesty, my family's servant Er Bao discovered the figures in the backyard.
Originally, I thought they were ordinary figures and didn't pay much attention, but
Brother Yuanfang accidentally discovered that the figures can stick together, so I associated it with the case.
I think when the culprit run out of time to dispose of the props, she accidentally left it on the grass.
Is that right?
As for the second defect, if Abbess Hui Yuan is really disabled,
then only the Heavenly King can kill people.
What you see is often not the truth. The true nature of things appears as void.
The void is not void; it is more than it seems.
Hey, will you die if you speak with human words?
We were too persistent with the things we saw.
Therefore we couldn't understand the essence of things.
Absurd! You're saying that Abbess is pretending to be lame?
That can't be. Abbess Hui Yuan's feet were disabled 10 years ago.
- How can one person possibly...- Indeed.
How can one person spend a lifetime pretending to be disabled?
Giving up their own life to hide their true self
and forever pretending to be someone else in front of others is not an easy task.
If it were me, I definitely wouldn't succeed. This sacrifice takes an extraordinary person.
But when someone wants something, they must first learn to sacrifice.
When you sacrifice something, you will gain something in return. Abbess Hui Yuan, am I correct?
I don't think that's possible. Even if she wants to kill people, it doesn't mean she has to pretend to be disabled.
Exactly the opposite. If you want to complete the Heavenly Kings' revenge, this disguise is necessary.
Why?
Your Majesty, because Abbess Hui Yuan cannot walk,
she is the killer of both ministers.
What evidence do you have?
I have one.
Er Bao.
This prop appeared in the first two murder cases.
It's like a ghost. It appeared where it shouldn't, and disappeared where it should be.
