Episode 45
Prefect Zhang will hold a birthday party while still sick. What do you think?
He does things for nothing.
What are your plans?
When you are ill,
I will kill.
Tong'er!
Dad,
I'm here.
Did your 2nd uncle go to Woniu Hill?
He went this morning.
I really hope he can
win a great victory.
With your 2nd uncle leading the troop, those mountain villagers will be completely destroyed.
Fight!
Chief Ge Duo
is of no significance.
How can they ever defeat us?
When uncle returns from victory,
those local officials who are so hesitant now will be dead set on following us.
Tian Miaowen, that bitch,
she can't fight against us.
Tong'er,
you've grown up.
With you leading the Zhang family,
I will be at ease.
Dad,
today is your birthday.
2nd uncle will win a victory
as your birthday present.
As the saying goes,
enjoy life every chance you get,
do not wait until chances pass.
You...
You play bridegroom every night, your mother-in-laws are everywhere.
Whose boudoir did you occupy last night?
I can't say.
Today is Lord Prefect's birthday.
What's your present?
Well...
Bro,
how about we two go have some fun
at the Fenghuang Brothel tonight?
That's boring.
Why boring?
Your appetite has grown quite insatiable?
Even the Fenghuang Brothel can't satisfy you!
Look at Assistant Prefect Dai.
Beauties give themselves freely to him.
If I wanted to be like Dai,
I'd sleep with your wife first.
You can't flirt with a friend's wife.
Bullshit!
You want to be like Assistant Prefect Dai?
He even has an affair with his friend Post Station Administrator Pang's wife.
Really?
You can't trust the rumors of official circles.
Bro,
you must have known about that, right?
Lord Pang is probably the only one who doesn't know.
Dai Chonghua!
I can explain. I can explain!
- It's a misunderstanding. - I'm gonna kill you!
Listen to me!
Dai Chonghua!
You son of a bitch!
Don't look. Don't.
Don't look. It's not me.
Don't look.
My lady.
All the chieftains are here.
What are you doing?
How many chieftains came?
Manager Zhao,
no one came.
No one came?
Yes.
You,
go out and welcome them.
Report to me
as soon as they come.
Hurry.
Yes, sir.
Now it's my turn to take action.
I just played the Guqin for brother Ye.
May I ask you to recite a poem for me as encouragement?
Then may your every step
awe the people,
may your every move
amaze the world.
Good.
Do you see?
Something feels wrong, right?
None of the chieftains came.
They will regret
their disrespect.
Out of the way!
Is everyone here?
My Lord,
I went to the front yard just now.
Almost all the seats in the yard are taken,
but the seats for guests of honor are still vacant.
Vacant?
My Lord,
you look much better today!
Yu Long,
I told you to contact all the chieftains.
What happened?
I contacted them. There won't be a problem.
In case news of it leaks out,
I only contacted those chieftains
who are not close to the Tian family.
Think about it,
what good would it do them
if the Tongren's leader is changed?
So most of them
support you as the leader.
A few guileful ones are still watching on the sidelines.
But they said they won't help either.
Then why...?
My Lord,
the servants assigned to welcome them told me
that the chieftains have just left the post house.
They're heading here by horseback and carriages.
It seems that they are late on purpose.
What do they want?
Show me their power?
My Lord, do you think
that we should delay our banquet?
If we miss the blessed hour because of them,
they'll only become more arrogant!
We can't give them this satisfaction. Start the banquet as scheduled.
The Lord Prefect has arrived!
We wish Lord Prefect
great fame and reputation around the world,
eternal youth,
great health,
and a long life.
Thank you all!
Have a seat, please.
Thank you, Lord Prefect.
You're crazy!
My Lord!
- My Lord! - What?
My Lord, Help!
My Lord!
Help me, my Lord!
Help, help!
My Lord, Help!
Dai Chonghua! Pang Shoushang*! *Shoushang sounds like "hurt"
Today is my birthday!
What are you two bastards
doing here?
My Lord, Lord Pang has gone crazy!
He is stark mad!
I'm gonna kill you.
Help! Help!
Enough!
Today is my birthday!
What are you two bloody bastards
doing here?
Lord Prefect，
he wants to kill me!
I have no choice.
Dai Chonghua.
Nobody can stop me today.
I will have your head.
My Lord.
That's enough!
My Lord.
I am really innocent.
Lord Pang,
we've been friends so many years.
Why don't you believe me?
Shut up!
If I didn't know you for so many years, I wouldn't have believed it was you!
Stop!
Behave yourselves!
This is embarrassing!
Embarrassing?
He is just an adulterer!
Father-in-law,
did you know?
Your daughter,
my wife, who I only touch
once half a month,
was taken advantage of by him!
Wait. No, no.
That's unbearable.
I'm gonna kill him!
Today's my birthday!
How dare you make a farce here!
Even if today was Heaven's birthday,
one of us has to die!
You!
You turned my birthday banquet into a complete farce.
I was cuckolded!
If you were cuckolded,
could you stand it?
You can't stand it.
Well, I can't stand it either!
Why
is it always me who gets hurt?
Look at your stupid name!
Shoushang!
You made me lose face,
I'll take away your life!
Get him out of here!
With these acts of despotic perversion,
he'll be punished by Heaven sooner or later.
My Lord!
My Lord,
we lost the battle.
Dad.
My Lord.
What's wrong, my Lord?
Take a deep breath.
My Lord!
My Lord! My Lord!
My Lord!
They're here, the chieftains came to celebrate your birthday.
Dad,
they are here.
Let's go welcome them.
General of Guangwei,
Controller-general Tian is here!
Chieftain Hong is here!
Chieftain Zha is here!
Chieftain Bai is here!
Chieftain Miao is here!
Lord Tian and we chieftains are going sightseeing around the East Mountain,
we aren't here to celebrate your birthday.
It's a misunderstanding. It's just a misunderstanding.
Let's go.
Go.
Fine.
Fine!
Dad!
My Lord! Tian... Tian Miaowen!
My Lord!
Lord Prefect!
You are cruel!
My Lord!
Dad!
Lord Prefect!
My Lord!
- Dad! - Call the physician!
My Lord! Dad!
My Lord!
Dad!
My Lord!
Dad!
Help!
My Lord!
The physician! Now!
My Lord!
Yutong,
your dad is dead.
From now on,
you are the master of the Zhang family.
Snap out of it.
Yu Long,
Lord Wu and Lord Xiang
are just outside the door.
Go and reassure them.
Your dad died suddenly.
They are all very anxious.
They'll be your major assistants.
You can't allow them to be swayed.
Do you hear me?
Everyone can panic right now,
everyone can fall into chaos,
but you can not!
Do you understand?
2nd uncle!
My dad is dead.
He was so enraged that he died!
Tian Miaowen, that bitch.
She went too far.
She went too far!
Great!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Congrats, my Lord.
My Lord,
Fat Zhang dropped dead.
Zhang Yutong is a spoilt good-for-nothing.
He can't last a minute as a leader.
Great!
Yutong,
I just came back defeated.
From now on, you
are the leader of the Zhang family,
do you understand?
You know, Tian Miaowen is just a girl.
What she can do
you can do better.
Do you understand?
My Lord,
Don't you think that
we should unite with all the other chieftains
and force them to hand over their prefect post?
Very good.
I think now is the best time.
We should go at once,
force the Zhang Family to step down.
Let's set out.
Yes, ma'am.
Please wait, my Lord.
Mr. Wen?
Prefect Zhang just died.
If we launch an attack immediately,
I'm afraid our reputation will be questioned.
Sir,
that's not true.
As the saying goes,
when Heaven offers you things, receive the gift or else take the punishment.
Taking action hastily now
will damage your reputation.
Mr. Wen, those who achieve greatness don't let trifles get in the way.
I think this is an excellent opportunity.
We should take action right away.
Settle it in one fell swoop.
That's right. Mr. Wen.
Think about it,
if Zhang Yutong
asked for and got the imperial order,
according to the hereditary custom,
the situation will become much more uncertain.
Zhang Duo just died,
as a son,
Zhang Yutong will not
ask the imperial court for the post in haste.
We still have time.
Now is the best opportunity.
We can't wait any longer.
Don't you care how
Ye Xiaotian will think of you?
Zhan Ning'er.
Miss Zhan.
It's me!
Me!
Li Qiuchi!
Lawyer Li?
What are you doing here?
Where's Ye Xiaotian?
We'll talk later.
Come on, come on.
Miss.
Miss Zhan is here.
I heard Ye Xiaotian's in trouble.
How is he now?
Ning'er jiejie,
what should I do?
Someone rescued Xiaotian ge.
But we don't know who saved him or where he is.
I thought Li Qiuchi could get us some information.
Not a single trace of him.
We have no clue where he is.
I know.
I payed huge sums of money.
I finally know what happened to Dage.
What...
What happened to him?
The fire in Dabei Temple was all a ploy to distract people's attention.
Actually, dage was saved by Controller-general Tian.
Let's go to the Tian Family.
OK. OK.
Wait. Wait.
The Zhang family's men are watching us.
[Ye Residence]
Play it by ear.
Miss,
have a look?
This umbrella is so nice.
Of course.
Try this one.
This one is beautiful, too.
That really happened?
You can rest assured.
Since I killed those two sons of the Zhang family,
I can't be on the Zhang family's side.
So no matter what happens,
I'll always stand on your side.
Excellent.
You and I,
in unity there is strength.
So, brother Ye, tell me what should I do next?
In my opinion,
what Assistant Prefect Dai said is reasonable.
Hesitation brings more troubles.
We can't hesitate just because of Zhang Duo's sudden death.
Or our chance will slip.
Give me your reason.
Zhang Duo died suddenly.
If we pressed on at this moment,
it seems a bit cruel.
But under these circumstances, even if you don't take action,
will the Zhang family leave this matter alone?
So,
only when all is said and done,
can real stability return to Tongren.
Zhang Duo is older than me,
he is my senior.
So I had no qualms about fighting him.
But Zhang Yutong is younger than me.
An unequal contest brings no honor to the victor. It might increase criticisms against me.
If you care about
every Tom, Dick and Harry,
won't you become a piece of loincloth?
What do you mean?
No matter how they fart,
you'll have to bear it?
How vulgar.
Even though the words are vulgar, but fair enough.
Thankfully I already took into consideration
that something may happen to Zhang Duo after I disgrace him at his birthday banquet.
So I assembled a group of my family's soldiers who are waiting outside in secret.
Even if they take desperate measures,
I don't need to worry at all.
Miss.
What is it?
Lead them through the hidden passage.
Don't make a sound.
Yes, ma'am.
Brother Ye,
your friends are here.
Lord Ye.
Xiaotian ge, where have you been?
We are so worried about you.
I'm fine now, see?
I thought you had abandoned me.
How could I?
How could I bear to leave you?
And the others?
They were luring away the men who are watching us.
Lord Ye.
Luckily I disguised myself.
I shook off the followers.
I ran several blocks.
Lord Tian.
Help yourselves.
Have a seat.
My Lord.
Last time when I asked for Lord Tian's help, I got refused.
I was as panic-stricken as a stray dog,
hiding about in Tongren
with nowhere to make an appeal.
To be honest,
at that time, I was not sure whether you were sincere.
Much was at stake with brother Ye's matter.
I could not say much at that time.
Lord Tian,
where's Hua Yunfei?
How is he?
Don't worry about him.
I rescued Hua Yunfei and the others.
But since he was also one who killed their sons,
the five families won't let him go.
I led them to a relatively safe place
where he can take care of those runners.
Nice move.
Nice move indeed.
Lord Tian is very cautious and thoughtful.
Of course there won't be any accidents.
In fact, when my Lord went missing
in the fire of the Dabei Temple,
I immediately thought that Lord Tian must be taking action.
It took
a load off my mind.
Absolutely right.
So, Lord Tian
has saved Xiaotian ge.
We have to thank her, right?
Yes. Yes.
Thank you, Lord Tian.
You are welcome.
I admire brother Ye's character very much.
Furthermore, we work in the yamen,
we meet each other often.
Thus we are very close.
When brother Ye got in trouble, I had to lend him a hand.
So there's nothing to thank me for.
Brother Ye,
try this sweet muskmelon.
People say, when a melon is ripe, it falls off its stem.
Look, the stem of your melon is still green.
How can it be sweet?
Lord Tian,
there's a saying that forced off melon doesn't taste sweet.
Brother Ye,
have a taste,
see if this melon is sweet or not.
My Lord,
why not grant me the melon?
I've always loved eating this melon.
If you love eating it,
it's yours.
Thank you, my Lord.
You people are so strange.
It's just melon.
Don't eat it if you don't want to.
Here are grapes. Yummy grapes.
Xiaotian ge, have some grapes.
It's so sweet.
I.. I prefer eating grapes.
Ning'er Jiejie,
have some grapes.
Chieftains,
please come in.
Mr. Wen,
go talk to Chieftain Hong and Zha. Let them visit the Zhang family to express their condolences.
In addition, check the situation at the Zhang family.
Chieftain Zha and Chieftain Hong are here.
Come in.
How dare you come in to condole with us!
Zhang Yi,
what do you mean?
Yesterday was my brother's birthday.
You should have come to congratulate him.
Instead, you just passed by our house.
You infuriated my brother so much he died!
You are my brother's murderers.
Runners!
2nd uncle,
the two chieftains came with good intentions.
We shouldn't be impolite.
Uncles, please forgive us.
Yutong,
are you stupid?
If it weren't for their dirty trick,
your dad wouldn't have died!
Dad held a birthday banquet. It'd be our honor if they came.
Not coming is within reason.
My dad died of a sudden severe illness.
How can we blame them?
You are spineless!
That's your father who died.
You may be able to stand it.
But I can not!
He is my own brother!
I am so thankful for you to make an overnight trip here.
Dear nephew，
we've been working with your father for many years.
Though there've been some conflicts, but we are still good friends.
That's right.
Do well.
You are the next Prefect of Tongren.
We will all support you.
No. No. No.
I am too young and ignorant. How can I take on such a heavy responsibility?
As for Tongren's administration, Lord Tian should be the one in charge.
Please come in.
Chieftain Hong and I have checked out the situation.
The Zhang family
has just about 20 guards.
No one is lying in ambush outside.
After Zhang Duo died,
Zhang Yutong is badly shaken.
He is just a wimp.
No need to fear him.
But his uncle, Zhang Yi,
is a tough guy.
What can he possibly do?
This is the perfect time to replace the Zhang family.
We'll go give them our condolences.
While they still lack a leader,
we'll force Zhang Yutong
to step down from the Prefect post.
Mr. Wen,
go summon the Tian family's soldiers
at the West Gate of Tongren.
Yes, ma'am.
Assistant Prefect Dai,
lead the Dai family's soldiers to the Zhang Family at noon.
Yes, ma'am.
And you two, keep in contact with the other chieftains.
By the way, when you get to the Zhang Family,
please tell them
that I will be there to offer my condolences.
Not only I will go,
I will go there with Ye Xiaotian.
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Five!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Five!
One!
3rd Master. Our family leader sent a confidential letter.
Three!
Four!
Five!
One!
Two!
3rd uncle, please lead the troops to the West Gate of Tongren
and wait for my command.
She wants us to lead the troop to Tongren in secret.
It seems that bitch is preparing for
a showdown with the Zhang Family.
3rd Master,
this is our great chance.
Tell her,
we'll be there in time.
Five!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Ning'er Jiejie.
What's wrong?
Why are you leaving?
Why wouldn't I leave?
Right.
Well,
see you.
You are the daughter of a chieftain,
right?
But she herself is a chieftain.
She is better than you
in status,
background,
and figure.
Look at her eyes.
One look and I know she's a siren.
Men love that kind of woman most.
Ning'er jiejie,
you are worrying too much.
She just wants to cajole Xiaotian ge so he'll go with her to the Zhang Family.
You are stupid.
I'm leaving.
I'm grateful that Lord Tian will come. Lord Tian is very considerate.
Uncles, please go have a seat.
Lord Tian is going to destroy that little jerk.
Why does she have to pretend to give her condolences?
That's superfluous.
One has to abide by social etiquette.
We didn't show his father any respect.
Why would we show that brat respect?
This is just a show for the other people.
What's wrong?
My stomach hurts.
I...
I'm going to the toilet.
I...
I can't hold it, neither.
Sirs,
where are you going?
Our stomachs are acting up, we are going to the toilet.
This way, please.
All right.
All right. All right.
I know that you care about me.
But I trust Xiaotian ge.
We have been through many difficulties.
I'm sure that he thinks just like me,
we are irreplaceable and unique
in each other's heart.
I don't have any other wish.
I just want to be with him.
I want to see him being happy.
All right.
I know you love me,
you worry that I'll get tricked.
I remember
that when I was locked up at home,
when I couldn't be with Xiaotian ge,
it was you who traveled far to help me send him a letter.
I've always wanted to have a big sister.
Let's become sworn sisters just like Luo Daheng and Xiaotian ge someday, all right?
And when you
find your Mr. Right,
I will lock you up.
Then I'll help you send him letters too, OK?
Ok.
All right.
Don't worry about me.
Ning'er jiejie.
Chieftains.
This way, please.
This way.
You are finished.
If Tian Miaowen comes here,
she will die too.
What's wrong?
I heard them say they are going to kill Tian Miaowen.
Kill Tian Miaowen?
But didn't Tian Miaowen go to the Zhang family with Xiaotian ge?
Shit!
All this hustle-bustle in the world is for money;
People all over the world never get tired of it.
My Lord.
Xiaotian ge!
Thank you for coming here.
Please come in.
Stop!
Controller-general Tian went in. Why can't we?
No entry means no entry.
Xiaotian ge, watch out!
Yingying?
Shoot the arrows!
Kill them!
Go!
Tian Miaowen knows Kung Fu?
Be careful.
Retreat!
Go.
Hurry!
Yingying!
Watch out!
Are you alright?
You alright?
Go.
Hurry!
Lord Dai,
bad news.
Lord Tian and Lord Ye are trapped by Zhang Yutong inside his house. Their lives are in danger.
- What about all the guards she had with her? - They've all been killed.
Hurry.
Gather all the soldiers to save Lord Tian.
Yes, sir.
Out of the way!
My Lord, bad news. The front door is surrounded by the Zhang family's men.
To the back door.
My Lord, bad news. The back door is also surrounded.
You...
Stand guard here.
Do not let them break inside.
Yes, sir!
Stop!
Run!
watch out!
