Episode 35
My Lords.
There has been a misunderstanding between me
and the two village chiefs.
After talking to them just now,
their worries and concerns have been dispelled.
The two village chiefs agreed
to lead their people into this new policy
and to change their names.
Now, let's invite
the Gao and Li village chiefs
to sign this policy in the name of their people.
Forgive us, my Lords!
All of what I've said before
is true.
Without the approval of all villagers,
I do not dare to sign this.
My Lords,
I also cannot make the promise in the name of the whole village.
I dare not sign the agreement!
Why are you going back on your word again?
You two just
promised me, didn't you?
Do you really want to give up
such a golden opportunity?
Dong shu.
They are here.
You two...
Over here. Over here.
Chiefs,
this is Dong shu.
Which one of you is called Li?
My surname is Li.
So you are Little Rock's son?
You're so grown-up.
Who are you?
How do you know my dad's nickname?
Then the other must be
Iron Lock's son.
Who are you?
Who on earth are you?
I come from the Dawanshan Mountain.
Church of Gu?
One of the eighteen Elders?
The Ghost Eye King?
If you've heard of me,
come with me.
The World's Greatest Blind Man.
You cannot agree to Xu Boyi's request.
Sir,
would you mind not interfering with
our village affairs?
You still won't give in?
Tell me,
what did Xu promise you?
The permanent position of
hereditary chiefs.
Xu Boyi had quite the trick up his sleeve.
Indeed, it's an irresistible temptation.
Sheriff Ye?
You don't have to feel guilty.
The temptation is too strong.
If I were you,
I might ignore my conscience, too.
Please say no more.
I am already beyond ashamed.
I didn't mean to laugh at you.
What I just said is what I really thought.
Sheriff Ye,
you understand me so well,
I am truly...
Don't feel so touched just yet.
Understanding is one thing,
but do you know that
once Xu Boyi gets to the top,
my good days will come to an end.
What's more,
if a person of such bad character gets to the top,
it will mean hard times for the people of Huxian too.
So no matter what price I have to pay,
I must stop him.
Sheriff Ye, you mean...?
I think you already know
Dong shu's identity, don't you?
And do you think
you can deal with
Dong shu losing his temper?
If you lose your lives,
what's the use of
Xu Boyi's beautiful promises?
Actually, you don't need to find yourselves in such a dilemma.
It's immoral to stop others from pursuing fortune,
not to mention if it can benefit the later generations too.
I don't want to ruin this good thing for you.
But you should know
that it's the imperial court that grants you the hereditary positions.
Not Xu Boyi.
If you are willing to do as I say,
I promise you
that you'll get what should be rightfully yours.
We will follow you, Sheriff Ye.
Lord Envoys,
in the face of Assistant Magistrate Xu's threats I didn't dare refuse him.
But in front of the envoy,
if I don't take this matter seriously,
I'd be deceiving the emperor and committing a crime.
I have to speak the truth without reservation.
Please uphold justice for us, my Lord!
My Lord. Minister. Minister.
Minister. Lord Guan.
Li Guojiu.
Xu Boyi,
As an official you receive salary from the imperial court,
yet you work for your vanity rather than for the people's welfare. You deceived me, deceived the imperial court,
deceived the emperor time and again.
Do you admit your crimes!
Li Guojiu. Li Guojiu.
I'm innocent.
- Xu Boyi. - Guojiu...
You dare deceived the emperor.
It is unforgivable.
Runners!
Yes, sir!
Arrest him. Yes, sir.
Guojiuye! Guojiuye! I'm innocent, Guojiuye!
Ye Xiaotian... Ye Xiaotian!
You bastard!
You scum!
Take him away!
- Ye Xiaotian! - Go!
The youth is a force to be reckoned with.
Dage,
did you notice the way I walked out?
I walked so proudly,
so cool,
and imposing.
Yeah.
With the air
of a noble warrior.
Lord Guan. Shall we go back to the capital tomorrow morning?
We came here for the biggest farce.
Lord Guan, you still think it may work out?
You and me, we have almost
become the laughingstock of Huxian.
Guojiuye,
take it easy.
This matter
may take a favorable turn yet.
Runners!
My Lord.
Go and invite Sheriff Ye here.
Yes, sir.
Minister,
you still won't give up?
Did you forget it was Ye Xiaotian
who made your son Guan Xiaokun...
The imperial court has high expectations for this policy.
We, a minister and a Guojiuye,
if we came here confident,
but leave dejected,
not only the reputation of the court,
but our reputation too
will be damaged.
As for what happened between Ye Xiaotian and Xiaokun...
my son was conceited and ignorant.
It's good for him to learn his lesson.
Otherwise,
if he got himself in some even bigger trouble someday,
I'm afraid I might not be able to save him even if I'm his father.
My Lord,
why did you come here?
What about the ceremony?
My Lord,
Xu Boyi has been arrested by the envoy on charges of deceiving the emperor.
Really?
Of course.
Good! Good!
Lord Ye. Lord Ye.
Come. Have a seat.
Come. Come.
Have some tea.
Oh right, my Lord,
has the military supply robbery case reached any conclusions yet?
Don't mention it.
The Jinyiwei officer in charge of escorting the supply
is a total riffraff.
He harassed me with unreasonable demands and acted naive and dumb.
I've wasted a lot of effort In order to deal with him.
At this point,
my Lord you don't have to be worried.
In my opinion,
we should issue wanted posters and offer a reward.
Maybe we can find a lead on the bandits.
After that we can deploy forces to suppress them.
Even if we can't get the supplies back,
we can arrest and behead some of them.
That way we can give the court an explanation.
There's nothing else we can do.
Sheriff Ye.
The envoy summons you.
I got it.
Dage!
Dage.
The war in the South is critical.
Wouldn't robbing the military supplies now be a bit too dangerous?
We should cause some trouble while the imperial envoys are here,
so those shady officials
won't hide it from the imperial court and the people.
So, you're saying...
The South is at war.
This post road has become very important.
Once the imperial court finds out that
the road is plagued by banditry,
they will increase the security measures.
However, the chieftains
who wish to benefit from this road won't allow for such a thing to happen.
Thus, the relation
between the imperial court and chieftains will deteriorate.
And when it does, you will see
how King Yang will benefit from it.
Do you think
I'm keeping the remnants of "One Dragon" around
just for fun?
As long as we stay on the sidelines,
we won't be implicated in anything that happens.
Sheriff Ye.
No, no, no.
I should call you
Huxian's acting assistant magistrate.
According to our law,
when the assistant magistrate is absent,
the sheriff becomes the acting assistant magistrate.
You didn't know?
Yes, my Lord.
I know.
I've inquired the Huxian's officials and gentries about you.
You are quite well-liked.
People are still praising your work
on the diversion channel.
As a local official
I should bring benefit to this place.
It is my duty.
I also heard that
you wiped out the mountain bandits of One Dragon,
contributing greatly to the public security.
With all these merits
and my advice to the emperor,
I think it won't be too difficult
to have the "acting" dropped and letting you become the real
assistant magistrate.
Do you really mean it, minister?
However,
the turmoil that was caused during the ceremony
has badly damaged the imperial court's prestige.
Though Xu Boyi is to blame,
the emperor may be angry with other officials of Huxian too.
At such a time,
I fear I cannot put in a good word for you.
By the way,
you have done the Gao and Li villages a great favor.
They are the two most powerful families
among all the tribes.
If I entrust you with this matter,
can you persuade them to change their mind?
But...
With the imperial examination's arrival I am very busy.
If this matter cannot be dealt with quickly,
not only won't I be able to return to the capital in time,
I am further afraid
that you as the acting assistant magistrate... My Lord,
as long as your promise still stands
regarding the hereditary chief position,
then I wish to give it a try.
Ye Xiaotian,
this world isn't big enough for the two of us.
Ye Xiaotian,
you scumbag! You shall die a horrible death!
Ye Xiaotian,
I will tear you apart!
The ceremony was truly riddled with surprising turns of events.
During the course of it,
I had my reasons to do what I did.
I hope that you will forgive me.
Let me toast to you.
My Lord, please don't say that.
I forgot honor at the prospect of profits.
I am ashamed of myself.
Yes.
Old Gao and I......
Please forgive us.
Why do you spoil all the fun here?
You already promised to change the name.
The most important thing is that
Xu Boyi got what he deserves.
Let's drink a toast.
We must celebrate. Forget the unhappy things.
Bottoms up.
OK. OK. Cheers. Cheers.
Don't worry, my Lord.
Our villages are ready.
Old Li and I,
we will ensure the success of the ceremony.
That's great.
I really appreciate it.
Well, help yourselves.
Please.
With the Heaven's blessing
the imperial edict states
the Gao and Li villages shall change their names to Han style,
serving as a model for others.
Your conducts and merit will be awarded
by the emperor himself.
Receive the imperial edict.
Thank His Majesty for his kindness.
Long Live the emperor!
[Huxian County School]
This is where I should write it?
Or here?
Assistant Magistrate Ye.
You did a good job.
I'm flattered, minister.
Lord Guan,
we've been working for quite a while,
I feel a bit tired.
How about we go back and take a rest?
All right. Let's return to our quarters.
Assistant Magistrate Ye, Li Guojiu and I will depart for the capital tomorrow morning.
Please take care of it.
All right. I will prepare the farewell dinner.
All the officials and businessmen of Huxian will be there to see you off.
I hope that you will enjoy it.
Good
Let's go.
Congratulations, Lord Ye.
Thank you all.
Thanks.
Congratulations. Congratulations.
Li Guojiu.
Shh.
Li Guojiu.
I'm innocent.
I'm really innocent!
I don't know whether you are innocent or not.
And don't care to know.
I came here to tell you
Ye Xiaotian has replaced you
as the assistant magistrate.
He also persuaded the two chiefs
for you to change their names.
Xu Boyi, Xu Boyi.
you busied yourself for nothing.
In the end you've paved the road for others.
Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian!
Guojiuye, Guojiuye.
I... I'm really innocent.
You have to get me out of here, Guojiuye!
Guojiuye.
Guojiuye!
Guojiuye, Guojiuye. Guo...
Ye Xiaotian,
you took my lover away,
you ruined my future.
We can not live in the same world!
You and I, only one may live.
There are over 3000 people in Huxian,
you are sensible and rational,
you've set a good example for the changing of names.
When I go back I will report it to the court,
to praise and honor you.
Thank you, my lord!
Alright.
Please.
Here, here.
Cheers.
Have a seat.
Help yourselves.
[Want to know more about the escaped bandits? Come to the back door.]
Murder!
Murder! Help, help!
Murder! Run!
Dage.
Who did it?
Xu Boyi.
Assistant Magistrate Ye.
What happened?
Assistant Magistrate Ye!
Runners!
Assistant Magistrate Ye! Anyone!
Runners!
Stop! Don't run!
Stop!
Hurry up. After him!
Stop! Don't move!
We're on duty!
Out of the way!
Ma dage, what's all this about?
Did you see Xu Boyi?
No.
What happened to him?
He tried to kill Lord Ye!
Xu Boyi.
Stop!
Xu Boyi!
Tao Tao, Tao Tao,
Help me! Help me! Help me, Tao Tao!
Brother Yunfei.
I beg you. Let him go. Please, Yunfei.
Tao Tao, let go of me!
Run! Run!
Let go!
Run!
Let go!
I'm sorry.
What?
Ye Xiaotian was assassinated?
Is he dead?
No, no, no.
Is he wounded critically?
Lord Ye was covered in blood.
He was carried away to be treated.
I was sent here to inform you, my lord.
I don't know what the current situation is.
Alright, go ready the carriage.
I'm going to visit Lord Ye.
Yes, sir.
Dong shu,
how is Dage?
It's not too bad.
The knife didn't hit his vital organs.
He only lost a little too much blood.
I've dressed his wound. He'll recover after a few days' rest.
That's great.
Dage.
Jiaozhu.
You were badly injured.
Do be careful.
Thank you, Dong shu.
You are welcome, Jiaozhu.
Dage,
I'm useless.
I couldn't catch Xu Boyi.
My Lord, it's not Yunfei's fault.
I stopped Yunfei,
I let him get away.
You should punish me instead.
Yunfei,
help Tao Tao up.
Tao Tao,
you've been in a relationship with Xu Boyi.
I don't blame you for helping him.
However, I think that after this,
it's time to put an end to your story,
isn't it?
I know.
Help Tao Tao up quickly.
Stand up.
Thank you, my lord.
How could Xu Boyi get away?
Wasn't he watched by guards?
I thought
he would be pretty safe in the cage,
so I didn't assign any guards to him.
Who could have known...
You were in charge of guarding Xu Boyi.
Was the cage never locked?
It was locked.
But somehow
the cage had been unlocked.
I understand now, Minister Guan.
It must have been because Ye Xiaotian has too many enemies.
Someone probably
wanted to use Xu Boyi
to kill Ye Xiaotian.
Guojiuye, you should have an early rest.
We will depart for the capital tomorrow morning.
Have a good rest, too. Minister.
Bon voyage, minister!
Bon voyage, Li Guojiu.
Please stay here, gentlemen.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Yingying,
you are married now.
I am only a passerby in your life after all.
Tonight, we will make the Lord's favorite dish, Spicy Boiled Fish.
Go select a big fish.
Yes, ma'am.
You two, follow me.
Yes, ma'am.
What are you doing? You startled me!
Amazing.
You close your eyes when you shoot your arrows?
I'm feeling the arrow‘s meaning.
Yunfei, tell you what. There's be a limit to bullshitting.
Who is bullshitting?
Tao Tao.
2nd brother.
Stop talking nonsense.
Everyone knows the new housekeeper at Ye Family
is not only smart and bright,
but also beautiful.
Yunfei, she's a good girl.
If you don't chase her,
then I...
2nd brother.
If you already know,
please tell me what's wrong with me.
Why I am so nervous when I see her?
What are you afraid of?
I'm here, what are you afraid of?
Don't worry.
I am well-read.
As for the matters between men and women,
I am very experienced.
You serious?
Sure.
Come on, please tell me
what should I do, 2nd brother?
Will that work?
Awesome, right?
I tell you what.
For a girl like Taozi
who has gotten hurt before,
it’s difficult for her to trust any man.
Plus, you're younger than her.
She won't trust you easily.
So this will definitely work.
Just look at Duo Ni and me.
Look how fast our relationship has grown.
Nowadays, I
have that little girl
wrapped around my little finger.
Daheng!
The clothes!
Coming.
Baby, you look tired.
Leave these to me. Look how cold your fingers are!
Will it work?
My Lord, have some soup.
My Lord, my Lord! Be careful. Are you alright?
It's fine. It's fine. You can't do these delicate jobs.
I am just too nervous.
How does it taste?
You cooked it?
I did the shopping.
I cooked it.
Right.
We made it together!
OK. OK.
Thank you for this.
Then drink more.
What are you doing here?
You are not welcome here.
Get out!
Who is it?
Let me in.
Li Yuncong.
What are you doing here?
You are not welcome here. Get out of here!
Get out!
What do you want?
What are you looking at? Came to visit the Lord?
He doesn't need you to visit him.
I knew it long ago. You are a bloody traitor.
You dress yourself so nicely but you are all pretense. Coming here to show off.
Get out of here!
You were doing such a great job for Xu Boyi. What are you doing here?
You treacherous son of bitch!
He is an ungrateful bastard.
Now leave!
Leave!
Are you done?
You feel better now?
I, I... Don't stop me. I...
Alright. Alright. That's enough, Lao Zhou.
You've worked hard, Old Li.
You are welcome, my Lord.
Wait. What do you mean, my Lord?
What's going on?
Li Yuncong
was a spy I sent to Xu Boyi.
Do you really think I could have predicted everything like I did?
That's what I'm saying,
I knew Yuncong is not that kind of person.
Yes. He's honest and loyal.
He's devoted to his brothers.
Brave and courageous.
Yuncong.
- I'm sorry you've suffered. - Changed your attitude quite quickly, huh?
Come here. Have a seat.
Yeah, yeah.
Here, here. Sit down.
I'm sorry.
You came to see the Lord, right?
The lord is here. You can take a good look.
Help! Help!
Brothers.
Help me, brothers.
Shut up!
Brother Chang,
we don't know who this guy is.
What if he was sent here by a governor?
We can't let them find
our hiding place!
Kill him!
Aye!
Don't. Please don't!
I, I'll tell you the truth.
Actually, I am a wanted man.
I am a wanted man!
Put me down!
You are full of lies.
A guy with such tender skin
is a wanted man?
I, I am really a wanted man!
I am really a wanted man!
Get him down.
Aye!
What's your name?
What crime did you commit?
My Lord.
My name is Yu Xiaobai.
I sneaked into someone's house
and wanted to rob them.
But his wife came back.
She... she was quite good-looking.
So I...
That's why the runners are after me.
You are a rapist?
Chang Sange, you should just kill him.
Spare me! Spare me please!
Alright, alright!
We are in need of more men.
You can stay.
Thank you, my lord! Thank you!
From now on,
you stick with us and work for us.
Keep in mind,
work hard.
I will. I will.
Take him away!
Stand up. Go!
Assistant Magistrate Ye, take care of yourself.
Registrar Wang and I can handle the county affairs.
The credit for changing the names
have gone to Lord Ye alone.
Lord Ye is certainly heading towards a promotion
to assistant magistrate.
O-Once you've recovered,
you have to hold a banquet to celebrate
your promotion.
No problem.
Out of the way!
How dare you stop the Jinyiwei?
Out of the way.
County Magistrate, there you're hiding.
Brother Qiao?
Xiaotian?
How...
How come you're in Huxian?
I'm the imperial guard leader of the South. I am in charge of the ordnance.
A shipment of ordnance and provisions needs to be escorted to the South.
My superior asked me to do it.
I mean,
what kind of friend are you?
Why didn't you tell me you'd be coming to Huxian?
I would've gone to welcome you.
How would I know you are an official here?
When I looked at the map,
I noticed this place is called Huling.
That's history.
Three years ago, this place was set up as a county.
Since then we call this place Huxian.
You know each other?
Is he that Jinyiwei officer
whose supplies got robbed?
When I left
I chose my best and most experienced soldiers.
How could they be defeated by bandits?
I was just a bit too careless.
I never thought an accident could occur on the official road.
Brother Qiao,
you got used to living in a peaceful place.
This places isn't like the capital.
As the saying goes,
the dragon can't overwhelm a local snake.
So here I came looking for the local snake.
I had no idea my brother Ye Xiaotian was your colleague.
Please excuse me
if I have offended you in any way.
It's fine. It's fine.
It's fine.
By the way, brother Qiao,
our county magistrate only has
some runners, strong villagers and militiamen.
It is much more difficult for these men
to suppress the bandits.
That's why
I think
that we should join hands
to solve this problem.
Since you proposed it,
of course we can join hands.
Tell me what to do.
Sange, here they are.
Ready!
Kill them!
Yu Xiaobai, move!
Go!
Kill. Kill.
Go!
Kill. Kill.
Kill! Kill!
Kill!
Kill! Kill!
What a motley crew.
Retreat!
Quick! Retreat!
Back. Back.
Quick!
Move. Get going.
Move!
Hurry!
Hurry! Hurry!
My Lord.
What should we do about these captives?
My Lord,
aren't there a lot of captives caught in the South war?
They've all been castrated, waiting to be sent to the capital as eunuchs.
Why don't we send them to the capital with those eunuchs?
I heard that the Eunuch Bureau pays silver for eunuchs.
Really?
Let's do that then.
Don't let these scum
go to waste.
Next!
Go!
In a moment, tell manager Li to send several people
here to clean this place.
Remove all the inflammable items.
And be careful when you move them.
You have to hold her
and kiss her.
Listen,
when you face a woman, the man needs to act brave and come straight to the point.
You can do it. Yunfei!
Alright, I'll leave you to it.
Yes, ma'am.
