Episode 32
My Lord.
We know that it is our duty
to do corvée labor.
But my husband was already forced to work four times this year.
The corvée lasting for nearly 2 months.
If your government were just and fair, my husband would not have died!
Is it true
what the madam said?
Yes, it's true.
But there's nothing we can do either.
We have never called for corvée labors so frequently before.
We've never deployed so many at the same time.
The household registration books are all messed up.
They can't collect the statistics.
Assistant Magistrate Xu is pushing us.
So we had to randomly pick people.
That's why some served corvée multiple times while others didn't.
Assistant Magistrate Xu?
Yes.
Lord Xu, you called for me?
Officer Dai.
What is your Household Registration Office doing?
I requested laborers to rebuild the post road.
From some families, three men were recruited, from others, none.
It's causing voices of discontent.
What is going on?
My Lord, there are many ethnic groups in our county.
They all have their own customs.
It is really difficult to make matters clear.
Especially, in some tribes,
they use only one word as their name.
In others, the name can be seven or eight words long.
Their last names are even more rich in variety.
Some use their father's surname,
some use their mother's surname.
For some, you wouldn't even know
they are the same family judging by their surname.
There's no system to speak of at all. We can't avoid making mistakes.
You can't avoid to make mistakes,
or did you take bribes
so you had to make mistakes?
My fellow county men,
no one wishes to see
the collapse of the post road.
We can not avoid
natural and man-made disasters.
The mistakes in the household registration
led to the unfair
recruitment of corvée laborers.
Our government
will think of a way to solve this issue,
so this will not happen again.
With you all gathered here in front of the yamen gate,
we can not do our jobs.
Please go home for now.
I promise you,
within three days,
the government will give you
a satisfying answer.
Get up. Get up.
The sheriff will help you.
You don't need to worry anymore.
Three days.
How do I solve this problem?
I'm speaking the truth.
I am not trying to make excuses. If you aren't making excuses, then you are useless.
If you can't do this, I'll replace you.
Li Yuncong!
You asked for me, my Lord.
Li Yuncong.
You have been serving me tirelessly these days.
You have worked hard.
I can see all of it.
From now on,
you will be the officer of the household registration office.
Thank you, my Lord.
I wish to serve you, my Lord,
with all my heart.
I'll work with devotion until I draw my last breath!
Stand up.
Yes, sir.
Assistant Magistrate.
Get lost.
If you wish to fire me,
you need the magistrate's permission.
Assistant Magistrate,
you can't make this decision alone.
OK. Go back to your office.
I will ask the magistrate to
go fire you.
You.
Me?
Yes.
Come here.
Sheriff Ye.
Is Registrar Wang ill?
Yes. Yes, my Lord.
And assistant magistrate Xu?
Assistant magistrate Xu...
Ever since there is war in the South,
he has moved to the inn.
He is the commander on-scene,
making sure the post road transport is unobstructed.
You seized the chance while the South is at war,
you used the protection of the post road as an excuse
and took advantage of Hua Qingfeng's cowardly character
to gain control over Huxian's finances and the appointment and removal of personnel.
I am very pleased.
You flatter me, Miss. I'm just doing my job.
You have done a good job.
No need to be modest.
I have promised you.
If you gain a firm foothold in Huxian,
I will help you be successful in your official career.
I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I will do everything in my power
and work hard to pay you back, Miss.
Why are you so surprised to see me?
My Lord, are you all right?
Why wouldn't I be?
I traveled around in the capital.
But let me tell you,
the officials in the capital really love me.
They just had to let me stay in the capital.
But I miss Huxian, I miss you all,
so they could do nothing but wipe their tears and let me go.
So here I am.
It's good you are here.
Go do your things.
Tonight, I'll call up all the others
and we can get together.
Yes. Yes.
Great changes have happened in the imperial court. I just come back from building relationships in the Central Plains.
I was passing by here
and stayed here to take a look.
Ever since Huxian became a county,
political achievements have been lacking.
Hua Qingfeng has done nothing.
The imperial court is disappointed at him.
Now,
his term will soon be over.
Work hard.
Perhaps, you can replace him.
Become an upper 7th ranked official first.
Yes, ma'am.
Lord Magistrate.
It is almost time for the three years' inspection.
The imperial court will most likely transfer you
to another place for an important position.
Assistant Magistrate Xu is quite domineering.
But he can maintain the peace here.
You may as well stop dwelling on it.
Keeping this status quo
is to everyone's benefit.
Don't you think, my Lord?
It is to everyone's benefit.
Except for me.
Wang Ning, that fickle old fool.
And Xu Boyi.
He has become the second Meng Qingwei of Huxian.
No, he is even more brazen than Meng Qingwei.
My Lord. You've come back.
Why did you become dogsbodies again?
Well.
My Lord,
ever since you were taken to the capital,
we've only had bad luck here.
That Xu Boyi is so uncreative when it comes to messing with people.
Still using the same old tricks.
My Lord.
It is an old trick,
but it is effective.
Since you were gone, Xu Boyi became more and more powerful.
Not only did he make Magistrate Hua into a mere figurehead, he also teamed up with Registrar Wang.
A lot of people in the yamen are switching sides.
They all became Xu Boyi's men.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
One of these men is Li Yuncong.
That jerk.
He has become Xu Boyi's favorite.
I've been rebuilding the post roads,
I work day and night,
I am very diligent.
It's just,
there are many different ethnic groups, the household registration is in chaos.
During the recruitment of corvée laborers,
there has been a little problem.
I am thinking about how to solve it.
I have heard of this matter.
In that case,
why not let the people name themselves by the Central Plains customs?
With that,
it will be easy to manage the household registration.
And it will mean progress in civilizing the local people.
You mean, change their names?
Sheriff Ye.
I was tricked by a petty person and was taken to the capital to be questioned.
But I am devoted to serve the public.
All accusations were unfounded.
I have been reinstated now.
I'm back again.
Not a lot of time
has passed since I left,
I'm surprised the Huxian's yamen
has turned upside down.
I remember when I assumed my post the first time,
the people had no respect for the yamen.
When I ordered the runners to the countryside,
the people taunted and jeered at them.
Some even scolded or beat them.
A county government
has fallen into such condition.
It was quite a sight to behold.
But later, under my guidance,
especially after the bandits of "One Dragon" were eliminated,
the Huxian yamen has gained resounding fame.
It has gradually earned
the support and respect of the people.
But in such a short time,
you have turned into rats again running across the streets
being chased by the people.
My Lord, you are exaggerating.
You have only just come back.
You don't know the situation here.
How did you come to the conclusion that we are rats on the streets?
Who are you?
I am Wu Jiayu.
I was promoted by the assistant magistrate,
I am now head officer of the technology department.
How can you hit your subordinates at will?
What did I do?
If you don't give me an explanation today,
I will file a complaint to the assistant magistrate about it!
He will bing you to...
Why did I hit you?
The South is at war.
In order to guarantee ongoing transport through the post road, the assistant magistrate is personally standing guard there.
Registrar Wang worked himself sick because of this,
he has to rest at home.
And who the hell do you think you are?
How dare you saunter about in the yamen?
You don't do your job,
and now you're minding my business?
You are bothering me,
who else do I step on if not you?
Who is the head runner of Zao Team?
I-I am the head runner, Qu Xin.
My Lord.
You can't even guard a gate like you ought to.
Yet you have the face to be a head runner?
I remember that the former head runner is Ma Hui.
Where is Ma Hui?
My Lord.
I am here.
You are guarding the warehouse?
Yes.
From now on,
you are the head runner of the Zao Team again.
Yes, sir.
And you.
Yes, sir.
Go back to your team,
as the head runner.
Yes, my Lord.
During the time I wasn't here,
what was Old Xu thinking using these people?
What a bunch of good-for-nothings.
My Lord.
I was appointed by the assistant magistrate.
I don't care if you were.
In this place,
I call the shots.
I did in the past, and I do now.
That's who I am, I defy every law and regulation.
Those who didn't know it before,
I will show you today.
What?
Sheriff Ye is back?
I heard someone say
that Sheriff Ye has sent away the men
at the gate.
He is lecturing the
yamen staff.
I see.
Go stand guard outside.
Once you get the chance,
bring Sheriff Ye here.
But madam.
Master hasn't come back yet.
I know he hasn't.
But even if he hasn't come back,
we can't neglect
such an important person.
Besides,
Sheriff Ye is the savior
who helped my husband out of trouble.
Say no more.
Go invite him.
All right.
What is going on?
Why are the gates closed during daytime?
My Lord. Some people were causing troubles these days.
I don't know what happened either.
Ye Xiaotian sent them away.
I don't know why the gates are closed.
Quick, quick, quick. Knock on the door.
Yes, sir.
Runners! Open the door!
Runners!
Old Lu?
Why is it you? Where is the gatekeeper?
Why?
Are you not happy that this old man
opens the door for you?
Alright.
Just wait outside.
Wait till someone opens the middle door
and ceremoniously welcomes you.
Wait. Wait. Wait.
Enough.
Tell me.
Why are the gates closed
at daytime?
Assistant Magistrate.
The sheriff
is lecturing the staff right now.
No one is guarding the gate.
So of course the gates are closed.
What?
Out fo the way!
My Lord, after you.
Bah!
That damn lackey.
Sheriff Ye.
Long time no see.
Lord Xu.
Long time no see.
Your case
got resolved?
Yes.
It was just a petty man who envied my talents.
He framed me.
The matter was resolved
soon after I arrived at the capital.
By the way, Lord Xu.
When I was in the capital,
the lords of the six ministries all liked me very much.
The Ministry of Punishments, Personnel and Rites,
all the ministers wanted me to stay in the capital.
But I miss Huxian.
There are too many people and things here
that I care about.
So I came back.
It's good you're back.
You are young and promising,
smart and capable.
My Huxian needs your talent.
If you're willing to come back,
if you can come back,
then it would be my Huxian's honor.
You flatter me.
I am just a bit more diligent and put my heart into it.
With the war in the South,
you spare no effort to guard the post road.
Registrar Wang also got sick because of this.
When I heard all that,
I was truly impressed.
But
there are a few stupid idiots
who show know gratefulness to your favor.
They loaf around, doing nothing all day.
But don't worry, Lord Xu,
I taught them a lesson for you.
I have also made some arrangements
among the yamen staff.
Sheriff Ye.
Weren't you
too rash in your actions?
You've just come back.
There are some things
you need to make clear first.
Really?
But I only left for a short time.
Didn't you also
transferred my old subordinates to the tea house,
and the warehouse in a rush?
Weren't you
too rash in your actions?
Are you blaming me right now?
I wouldn't dare.
I got used to
these men.
Now that I am back,
I'd naturally transfer them back again.
But if I don't grant it?
Then you can
write the imperial court personally,
ask them to appoint you a sheriff who will listen to you.
Ye Xiaotian.
Don't go too far.
Do you think I can't deal with you?
Lord Xu.
Why are you angry?
You and I, we work in the same yamen,
We have our disagreements,
but we just need to do our jobs.
I will bear my responsibilities,
whether they are good or bad.
You don't have to be angry.
Lord Xu.
Look.
Look at my face.
Sheriff Ye punched me!
He punched me
without any reason!
I am the head officer of the technology department.
How can he just beat me?
Lord Xu.
You can't just listen to his words only.
This is only a dispute caused by personal feelings.
Isn't it quite normal that we get into arguments?
If you think you were treated unfairly,
I'm sorry.
I bet Xu Boyi will hit me. Otherwise it'll be too embarrassing for him.
Enough!
Why do you hit me, Lord Xu?
I...
See this, everyone!
Lord Xu hit me!
How can he do this?
Yes!
How could he?
Lord Xu.
How could you hit me?
Er... Er....
Lord Ye.
Our master wants to see you.
There have been great changes in the yamen.
We need to solve the issue of of the people's compensation within 3 days.
I must persuade Magistrate Hua
to be on my side.
I'm here to see the magistrate.
Sheriff Ye.
It is really you.
Great.
You are well.
Madam.
Isn't the magistrate here?
Cui'er, go serve him some tea.
Please have a seat.
My husband went to visit Registrar Wang.
I already sent someone to call him back.
He will be back soon.
It's fine, madam.
If he is not here,
I can come back another time.
He doesn't need to come back in such a hurry.
It's fine. It's fine.
There's something you don't know.
Since you went to the capital,
we've both been feeling uneasy.
It is great that you're back here
safe and sound.
You have suffered injustice.
My husband can't do much.
He couldn't protect you.
This matter makes him feel very guilty.
It's really nothing
if he came back right now.
Thank you for thinking of me.
I am very grateful.
Sheriff Ye.
I can see you are absent minded.
Is it because you just came back
and feel like the people have all changed?
Is that why you are worried?
I have left for a few months,
it's not strange if I have this feeling.
But you were here this whole time.
Do you also feel like all the people have changed?
Let me be frank with you.
The conflict between you and Xu Boyi
can't be solved.
But he used despicable means
to overpower my husband and hoodwink the public.
My husband is angry about this.
You and my husband, you share the same interest.
You have the same enemy.
I appreciate your kind offer.
I'll be taking my leave.
Sheriff Ye.
Master, we are back home.
Is it the front yamen?
The people at the gates are gone.
We used the back door.
Alright.
Dear.
You came back.
I'm so tired.
Dear.
Do you know who was just here?
Who?
Sheriff Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian is back?
Why didn't you make him stay?
I tried to.
I tried to persuade him.
I hoped he would join hands with you
and deal with Xu Boyi together.
What did he say?
He said...
Yes.
I have the same enemy as the magistrate.
But madam, do you think the two of us
can truly become allies?
My husband is honest and tolerant.
He is a gentleman.
Madam.
You know better than me how bad Huxian's situation right now.
It is because I missed the chance.
So if I make one wrong decision,
I will lose everything.
If you
can put yourself in my place for a moment,
judging by the magistrate's character and temper,
do you think
he is a reliable ally?
Sheriff Ye.
My husband, he...
I have learned from my lessons.
But in my opinion,
our best plan right now
is to join hands with Ye Xiaotian.
Mainly because you have broken your promise to him for so many times.
Though you had your reasons,
but dear,
I think, if you can show him your sincerity,
be sincere,
I believe that Ye Xiaotian
will come to trust you.
Er...
Stop hesitating.
Think of the kind of person Ye Xiaotian is.
He is forthright,
righteous and sensitive about his reputation.
As long as you can show him
your sincerity,
it will work. You have a point.
I will go find him now.
I will find him now.
My Lord, Madam.
I just came back.
There's nothing much to do here at the moment.
I'm sorry I can't serve you tea here.
It's fine.
Yes. Yes.
Don't bother about it.
When my husband heard that you are back,
he was very happy.
When you left just now,
he even complained to me,
he thought I may have been a poor host.
I really had some matters at hand I needed to handle.
It's fine.
Sheriff Ye.
You have suffered.
I didn't really suffer.
I was lucky.
The situation was threatening but not dangerous.
But my Lord, you don't
look well judging by your complexion.
Sheriff Ye.
Don't laugh at me.
When I think about the past,
I feel ashamed.
Sheriff Ye.
I was to blame for everything.
Let me apologize.
Yes. Yes.
My Lord, Madam.
What are you doing?
I have failed you.
Sheriff Ye.
I hope that you can forget the past
and join hands with my husband
to solve the matter at hand.
We need time to discuss this.
Please have a seat.
Please sit.
Come. Come.
It depends whether
the current situation is difficult or easy.
We only need to do two things,
and no matter what Xu Boyi does,
he won't get out of your control.
What two things?
Yes.
Firstly we need to placate those victims' family members.
The government needs to present them with a solution.
I have promised them a solution within three days. Only then did they leave.
The yamen doesn't have any money.
My Lord.
This issue concerns the people's feelings.
If the yamen doesn't have money,
we can collect money from
other departments.
We need to settle this issue first.
Of course,
if they ask for too much, it won't do.
But an adequate compensation
needs to be paid.
There's something you don't know.
The finance of the county
is controlled by Xu Boyi.
I don't have a single penny.
Asking money from Xu Boyi
would be like stealing food from a tiger.
My Lord.
Xu Boyi is just in charge of rebuilding the post roads.
I can understand that you gave him the right to appoint and dismiss personnel.
But why did you hand him the finance right?
That Xu Boyi
pressed me for it in the name of keeping the post road unobstructed.
The imperial court
demanded time and again to keep the roads unobstructed.
I could only give him the right over the finances.
That Ye Xiaotian has some tough luck.
You framed him.
He was taken to the capital. Still he didn't get killed.
Now he has returned.
We should be careful. He may come back at us.
The rights over finances and personnel
are both in my hands.
Plus, you and I have joined hands.
Even if Ye Xiaotian can call on the highest authorities,
he is no match for us.
Dear.
I think Sheriff Ye is right.
About the compensation,
we need to solve it quickly.
As for the funds, I think
you can raise them in the name of the county yamen.
As for the money,
I can give it to you for now.
Right now, the most important things
is to take back the rights over finances and personnel soon.
What do you think?
Dear.
I am useless.
I got you involved in this mess.
Dear.
We are husband and wife.
Don't treat me like a stranger.
We should figure out a solution.
My Lord.
Madam has a point.
If we can placate the workers' family members,
they will feel at ease.
As for madam's money,
once the county yamen has money,
we will pay the madam back.
Now to the second thing.
If we can do this,
then as madam says,
the right over finances and personnel
will all come back to you.
Tell us quickly.
Actually, these people
didn't make such a ruckus
over the collapse of the post road,
but over the chaotic management of household registration.
This resulted in the issues of the corvée recruitment.
So, all officials involved should be punished heavily.
Only that way can we calm the people's feelings.
So you mean...
Firstly,
the officials in the household registration office
must all be punished.
At least, cut half a year of their salary.
Li Yuncong is the head officer of the household registration office.
He must be dismissed.
Registrar Wang is in charge of the household registration office.
So you have to impeach him.
As for the mistake made during the recruitment,
Xu Boyi needs take on the responsibility.
Why?
Think about it, my Lord.
When those wrongly recruited workers
were brought to the post roads,
they will appeal to Xu Boyi.
But he not only didn't report it to you,
he also didn't correct this mistake.
When the accident happened,
he only shirked his responsibility and blamed it on you.
This is a form of malfeasance. He needs to be impeached.
Lastly, it's you, my Lord.
What about me?
You are our county's magistrate.
Under your management,
a mistake occurred.
So of course you are responsible for it, too.
Thus, you must write a letter and impeach yourself too. Admit your error and ask for punishment.
In order to make amends for your crimes,
you need to go to the post roads personally
to oversee the repair.
Great.
My Lord, won't this solution
kill two birds with one stone?
Think about it.
It will weaken
Xu Boyi and Registrar Wang's power.
Meanwhile it can help you get back your rights of finance and personnel.
It is a great idea.
Isn't it?
What is wrong, dear?
You...
You don't know.
Impeachment is indeed necessary
when such a major event has happened.
But right now,
the county yamen is in need of manpower.
A slight move in one part may affect the situation as a whole.
Also, if the imperial court knows that our Huxian is full of conflicts...
My Lord.
If you always want to play the nice guy,
everyone will think that you are weak and easily bullied.
Being an official you should temper justice with mercy.
Now is the time to show your power.
No. No. No.
This is too radical.
Too radical.
We need to take it slow.
My Lord. Only if you can carry out rewards and punishments fairly,
will your subordinates respect and obey you.
Now the rights of finances and personnel
are in Xu Boyi's hand.
If you still don't take any action,
how can you get back
the rights that belong to you?
Yes, dear.
Sheriff Ye is right.
You always hesitate.
Your indecision will lead to trouble.
It is time for you to
take action to bring order into this chaos.
A woman's shortsighted views.
Don't interrupt the business of the yamen.
My Lord.
Sheriff Ye.
This matter is very serious.
I still need time to think.
You just came back.
You must have had a tiring journey.
Go take a rest.
My Lord ,you are right.
I just came back.
I still have many things to take care of.
I'll be leaving then.
Sheriff Ye.
Sheriff Ye!
Dear.
After my dage went to the capital,
almost all of the men in this house have left.
That's why I called you here.
You are now the housekeeper of the Ye Residence.
Manage it well.
All right?
Young Master Daheng.
It's a huge house.
I'm worried I can't manage it well.
You can do it.
It is easy.
Just make me Osmanthus cake everyday.
What?
What are you talking about?
Tao Tao.
Don't listen to him.
There are not many rules
in this house.
Luo Daheng isn't picky about his food.
He eats everything.
It's like feeding a pig.
It is easy.
Your main work
is to accompany me on my shopping trips
and chatting with me.
It is very easy.
Let's go.
Stop laughing!
She is right.
It's just like feeding a pig.
Dage.
Lord Jia's order is,
now that you are back in Huxian,
you should manage this place well.
After all, this is the imperial court's bridgehead to deal with Yang Yinglong.
Don't make any mistakes.
Also, Xu Boyi is close to the Tian family in Tongren.
This isn't merely our personal affair.
It concerns the imperial court.
Hua Qingfeng, that coward. We can't count on him.
We should stick to our original plan.
In the current situation, it's our only option.
My King.
Why don't you have a rest?
Is it because of Ye Xiaotian?
Because he came back to Huxian?
This is no doubt a good thing.
But there is something even better.
I don't understand.
The imperial court is rebuilding
the post road in Huxian
to ensure a comfortable transportation route for the goods.
Is it relevant to your plan?
Once this road is repaired,
no matter what the imperial court wants to transport,
it has to pass through Huxian.
If something happens,
we will have our army take control of Huxian.
Pushing forward, we can cut the retreat route of the imperial court.
We'll easily defeat him.
Pushing backward, we can block the way of the imperial court's army.
Then, I can sit back and relax.
This means,
the repair of this road
has great meaning to you.
Huxian is the lifeline of half of the Southwest.
Whoever controls this lifeline
will be undefeated in the Southwest.
I think
this is a gift the imperial court is sending me.
Yunfei.
No matter how we fight, we must ensure the post road transport won't suffer.
We cannot sabotage the court's plan.
I told Daheng to notify the village chiefs.
Tomorrow, go with the men of the Gao and Li villages to the post road together.
Check the situation there.
Get ready to take control anytime.
Dage.
Leave the road to me.
But I heard that the remnants Qi Mu's clique
are now following Xu Boyi.
I fear that if I'm not here,
you would be in danger.
Even if you're gone, I am still here.
Come eat some fruit.
You cut it?
What are you laughing at, Hua Yunfei?
What's so funny? Is it ugly?
I gotta go.
Go have a chat.
Have a chat.
Hua Yunfei.
Hua Yunfei!
Come back Hua Yunfei!
Ok now.
Don't call after him.
This is not how you cut fruit.
From now on, don't do these household chores.
It doesn't suit you.
The fruit is there to be eaten, not to be looked at.
It is tasty.
Madam, look.
Such heavy rain.
Should we go another day?
No need for that.
The heavier rain,
the better we can show our sincerity.
Right?
Alright. Let's go.
Watch out, madam.
Coming. Coming.
Stop knocking.
Who are you looking for?
I was secretly ordered by the magistrate.
I have important issues to discuss with Lord Ye.
Please come in.
Master.
Someone from the county yamen.
Says they were here by the magistrate's secret order to discuss something important with you.
Got it.
Show them in.
Yes, sir.
What are you doing?
Eating fruit.
Can't you go to another room to eat?
Didn't you hear? I have something to do here.
Why do I have to go?
You are a lady, don't you care about your reputation?
Us two, a man and a woman, all alone here,
in the middle of the night.
What would others think if they see us?
Your reputation.
Come on. Find another place to eat your fruits.
I am your brother.
Go.
All right. I'll go eat my fruits.
Master.
They are here.
You may go.
Yes, sir.
Madam, why pay me a visit this late?
And dressed like this?
it's a rainy night,
I'm sorry I came here unannounced.
I do have an urgent matter to discuss with you.
Please sit.
Sheriff Ye.
I came here late at night
because I want to talk to you about
the issue we discussed today in the yamen.
Did the magistrate change his mind?
My husband he is honest and tolerant.
He doesn't know much about plotting against others.
But right now,
even if he doesn't plot against others,
others will plot against him.
Though he can bear it,
but I can not.
So I wanted to come here and ask you,
could we continue
the talk we had today?
However, the person who will cooperate with you
is not my husband,
but me.
Madam,
excuse me if I'm being offensive.
You are of respectable status of course.
But...
I understand.
I am not the magistrate.
But I can do
what the magistrate does.
Plus, others won't notice that it is me.
They'll think it was all the magistrate himself.
