Episode 47
Tie him up.
Yes, sir.
Retreat!
Hurry!
After them!
My Lord.
Controller-general!
Judge Ye!
Lord Ye, you achieved greatness.
You have my respect.
My respect.
Miss.
The Zhang residence is surrounded.
Zhang Yutong won't get away.
Zhang Yi was caught by us.
It's good you are fine.
Where is Yu Long?
Yu Long saw the situation
and fled to his old home.
He is defending his front door.
Brother Ye. Your men will guard the back door and the East wall.
Dai Chonghua's men will guard the front door and the west wall.
Trap them for now.
I need to go take care of my family affair.
Do you need my help?
This is my family affair.
If an outsider gets involved,
I'm afraid people will talk.
Your 3rd uncle harbors evil intentions.
What if he tries to kill you?
Don't worry.
I'm not that much of a failure.
My people trust me.
3rd uncle and the others
will only hide in the shadow plotting their mischiefs.
They are my close relatives and my seniors.
So I couldn't do anything to them
without any real proof.
But now their betrayal is out in the open.
I don't need to fear them.
I get it.
Tian Miaowen was killed by the Zhang family.
The Zhang family's next step
is to kill each and every one of us.
Our Tian family is in dire need of a strong figure who will uphold justice,
fight the Zhang family till the end
and revive our family.
Take revenge for our leader!
Revive the Tian family!
Take revenge for our leader!
The 3rd uncle is respected and of noble character, well-educated and trained in military.
He is the perfect candidate for our Tian family's leader.
The Tian family's survival depends on this moment.
Please accept this position of our leader.
The Zhang family tried to kill our lady.
He is now caught.
Our Tian family
has taken control of Tongren's throne
under the lady's leadership.
What?
But
there's someone
reckless with greed among us,
who wants to kill our lady.
When our lady was in trouble,
he did not deploy the troops.
He sat by watching our leader being trapped.
His crimes need to be punished with death.
Our lady will now
clean this family.
You are people who follow orders,
step aside.
The lady shows you mercy, she will not hold you responsible.
Tian Miaowen.
200 years ago, our Tian family
was the head of the 4 great chieftains of Guizhou.
Our power has faded.
You have been in control of the Tian family for many years. There has been no improvement whatsoever.
Our Tian family is very disappointed in you.
You are not worthy to be our leader.
3rd uncle.
Let me call you 3rd uncle once more.
I have grown up now.
Ever since I inherited the position,
I have been the target of many assassination attempts.
Throughout the many years
your attempts to kill me have only increased.
Though I am a woman,
but for our family,
I fought with Zhang Duo,
I gathered strength for our family.
All of that is just to one day
revive our Tian family's cause.
I thought that after I grow up,
when you are old,
I can prove that I'm qualified to carry this important responsibility.
I hoped you will cease to wish for my death.
But...
You haven't.
3rd uncle.
Is this position really that important?
So important that you can
be so utterly indifferent about your own flesh and blood?
Miaowen.
My good niece.
It is all my fault.
I'm sorry.
I am ashamed.
I deserve death.
Please forgive me.
Miaowen.
It is all my fault.
3rd uncle.
You didn't think the lady knows kungfu, did you?
I taught the lady to fight.
This is the pupil surpassing their master.
We are loyal to our leader.
Revive the Tian family!
Ye Xiaotian deployed Chief Ge's soldiers.
They broke into the city and took the Zhang family by surprise.
All their guards have fallen.
Tongren is now the Tian family's.
As for Ye Xiaotian.
He will gain his fair share through this too.
He'll become the second biggest force after the Tian family.
So you are saying...
Since the Tian family has betrayed you,
why don't you turn around and help the Zhang family?
After their defeat, the Zhang family
will be loyal to you.
Zhang Yutong is still young, but he is not to be taken lightly.
If he doesn't want to live under someone else's dominance.
If I foster him,
he will become another Tian Miaowen sooner or later.
He'll bite the hand that feeds him.
So what you're saying is...
You will soon know.
Who is it?
Qian Qingqing.
Qingqing.
You are alive.
My King.
I fell down the mountain stream.
Luckily, I fell into the river,
the current carried me.
After I woke up and healed, I came here.
I couldn't protect my King,
please punish me.
Stand up.
It is fortunate enough that you are alive.
It's just a little prefecture yamen.
Nothing to worry about.
If you Zhang family don't repent,
you will have to crash and burn.
I hope that you
will go inside and persuade Zhang Yutong
to give up resistance.
Screw you!
Who the hell do you think you are?
You want our Zhang family to concede defeat?
Dream on!
Tushe Zhang.
Look around you.
What's your Zhang family's situation?
You have lost all chances to turn the tables.
Mr. Wen is right.
If Lord Tian
gathers all the chieftains of Tongren,
and report what Zhang Yutong did to the imperial court,
not only will he lose his prefect position,
he will even lose his hereditary chieftain's position.
Tushe Zhang, I'm thinking about your benefit here.
Do think
about it carefully.
I know that you want.
You want me to persuade our Young Master.
Forget it.
Just kill me if you want.
I don't care.
Tushe Zhang doesn't give in.
What do we do now?
There's not much we can do.
Zhang Yutong knows he committed great sins,
he tried and failed to kill his colleague.
To escape punishment he burnt down his house.
He died inside of his home.
How pitiful, how sad that is.
If he had known it would come to this, he wouldn't have done it.
Soldiers!
Set fire!
Don't!
I'll go.
I'll go, ok?
I give you 24 hours.
Once the time is up,
you will crash and burn.
OK.
How dare they!
They want to burn down the yamen?
How dare she! Isn't she afraid of the imperial court?
Yutong.
Why don't you understand?
They will say that you set the fire yourself to escape punishment.
Think about it.
Will the imperial court believe a dead man's words
or Tian Miaowen's words?
No, no, no.
We still have a chance.
Yes.
After dad passed away,
I sent the An family a letter.
They will send people to offer their condolences.
Once they arrive,
they won't watch Tongren
be riddled with internal conflict.
They will intervene.
But...
they only gave us 24 hours.
The An family won't arrive in time.
Lord Ye.
What is it you need?
I already heard about Miss Xia.
My condolences.
Did you come here
just to say these superficial and meaningless words?
I...
Lord Ye.
I made a trip to the capital just for your matter of moving out the mountain people.
How could I know something like this would happen?
If I knew,
I would have come and helped you no matter what.
So did you come here
to tell me to drive those mountain people back into the mountain?
No.
The imperial court approves of what you did.
The mountain people are also our country's people.
In the eyes of the imperial court, they are the same.
How can they be ignored just because they live in the mountain and aren't well-educated.
If they can be moved out of the mountain,
turn wasteland into field,
settle down and make a living.
This would be Heaven's wish
and a good cause to the people's benefit.
Before,
I was too short-sighted.
Are you done?
When the mountain people move out of the mountain,
you will hold
an important status in Tongren.
The imperial court hopes that you can take the big picture into account,
mediate the conflict between Tian and Zhang,
stabilize this place.
My thoughts
are exactly the same.
But I have my own plan
regarding how to do this.
Dage.
What's the situation at the yamen?
The Tian family has the Zhang family surrounded, probably so they compromise.
Tian Miaowen.
I have everything ready.
We've been waiting for so long.
Where is Lord Tian?
Everyone, everyone.
Everyone.
My Lords,
dear sirs,
our lady is discussing matters.
She doesn't have time today.
Please come again another day.
We've been waiting for so long. We are willing to wait.
Right?
We are willing to wait.
Let's wait a little longer.
The officials outside our house are people who bend with the wind.
Stooping to flattery.
My Lord, you don't need to bother with them.
Even though they aren't loyal, but they hold respectable positions.
Win them over
and have them support me
is a good thing.
You have great foresight.
That's what we should do.
You are wise, my Lord.
I admire you.
I was against
you taking action against the Zhang family.
But looks like you have made your plans ahead of time.
You put your hope on Ye Xiaotian.
You surpass your teacher, Miss.
Lord Tian, it was truly an amazing move.
After you heard about Ye Xiaotian's real status,
you adjusted your plan immediately.
You set yourself a death trap so Ye Xiaotian will help you.
Zhang Yutong would have never thought
that we would have such a troop as backup.
3rd uncle has always been
my lady's biggest worry.
If we didn't put ourselves into mortal danger,
3rd uncle wouldn't have dared to betray you openly.
This gave our lady an excuse
to eliminate him.
It's killing two birds with one stone.
The whole situation is now in our control.
To avoid troubles from turning up, we must stabilize the situation as soon as possible.
Rest assured, my Lord.
Zhang Yutong won't be able to escape.
He has no other way out than to bow down and surrender.
But I actually hoped that the brat
can be stubborn.
That way we have the chance to burn him down and that's it.
It would be best if we can get rid of the problem totally.
But the Zhang family is deeply rooted.
It will be difficult to eliminate all of them.
To avoid their interference
we should force him into submission soon.
Judge Ye.
Please wait here for a while.
Our lady is in an important meeting.
I will go tell her you are here.
Miss.
Judge Ye is here.
He is in the study.
Brother Ye.
I'm sorry for the wait.
Zhang Yutong is guarding his home.
You have him surrounded but you don't attack. What are your plans?
The Zhang family has deep roots in Tongren. we can't eliminate them all.
We have to make them submit to us.
I have them trapped without attacking,
because I want to force them into submission.
I won't eliminate the Zhang family.
But Zhang Yutong and Zhang Yi
and Yu Long must die.
Brother Ye.
If we
kill Zhang Yutong and Zhang Yi now,
the Zhang family will rally.
The Zhang family has many branches,
all of them hold some power.
How will we stabilize the situation?
If the turmoil lasts too long,
the imperial court
and our Qianzhou's powerful chieftains
will get involved in it.
I don't care about that!
Yingying died.
Those three have to die.
Brother Ye.
It's been a difficult journey to get to where we are.
I am a woman,
it's hard for me to sustain such a far-reaching situation.
You can have no qualms.
But I can't.
Our Tian family is right here. We can't leave.
If we don't use some tricks,
we will perish together.
I know that you want to take revenge.
But you have to believe me,
now is not the time.
Bear with it.
All right?
Yutong.
You saw everything, right?
We are totally surrounded.
It's impossible for us to break out.
No one will save us.
So what if we admit defeat and give up our position?
In the past, King Goujian has suffered much greater humiliation.
But in the end he persevered.
As long as we stay alive,
I'm sure
that we will one day return to power.
Do you understand?
Let's surrender.
I can't.
Dad died because of Tian Miaowen.
I have to
take revenge!
Miss.
It's been 24 hours.
There's still no movement?
No.
Then we have to break inside.
Remember,
do not kill Zhang Yutong and Zhang Yi.
Yes, ma'am.
Break the gate open!
Attack!
It looks like
they moved their soldiers to the back yard.
To the back yard.
Hurry!
What's this?
Are they using the empty-city ruse?
What a pity they aren't Zhu Geliang.
And I am not Sima Yi.
Search!
Go!
Retreat!
Miss.
We went to the back yard,
but chief Ge Duo's men
attacked us with arrows.
A message!
My Lord.
Our men's way of retreat was cut.
What's going on?
Whose troops?
It's...
It's Chief Ge Duo's troops.
Chief Ge Duo's troop?
That would be Ye Xiaotian's men.
What's going on?
We'll go check.
Don't be reckless.
Don't worry.
Ye Xiaotian won't let me die an unclear death.
Let's go!
Go.
Lord Tian.
Where is Lord Ye?
Our Lord Ye is waiting for you at his residence.
I wish to see him.
Of course.
But,
you have to come alone.
OK.
Put down your weapons.
After you.
Lord Tian.
Our Lord Ye is inside.
Please go on.
Why are you doing this?
Why?
I also want to know
after you used your tricks and played me like a fool,
what else do you want me
and the innocent mountain people
to do for you?
What are you talking about?
Drop your act.
Lord Tian.
Thinking back now,
the you I saw at the Shuiyin Mountain,
the arrogant and brazen,
the cunning and sinister you
is the real you.
You've been persecuted by others,
so it's your habit to leave a way out for you.
But someone who is used to people harming them
will always be on guard,
alert and vigilant.
So,
when you caused Zhang Yutong's father's death,
and went to offer you condolences,
how could you have believed
that Zhang Yutong won't mean you any harm?
You put yourself
in mortal danger on purpose.
But,
what's the use of putting yourself in danger?
But you dragged me along with you, the whole meaning has changed.
Of course,
I'm not talking about the me who is the judge of Tongren.
But me as the Church of Gu's jiaozhu.
When we were locked up in the stone room,
you pretended to be afraid and helpless, alarmed and lost,
thinking that your 3rd uncle betrayed you.
But when I told you
about my identity as the jiaozhu,
you immediately started cooperating with me.
No one would be able to cooperate this perfectly with me
if they were utterly unprepared.
Except if you have set up this trap all along,
waiting for me to fall for it.
Once I offered you my help,
you'd cooperate with me.
When did you know about my identity?
How did you find out?
Speak.
OK.
I admit.
When I saw you kill those five scoundrels,
I thought you were reckless
but I knew you are a genuine person.
So I wanted you as my ally.
I checked your background in secret.
Of course I found nothing wrong,
but the people you brought out of the mountain aren't good actors.
Dong Tian and Duo Ni?
Yes.
It was them.
But I still wasn't sure then.
Until Chief Ge Duo's moved his tribe here,
you were in contact with each other.
That's when I knew.
Only when I made sure of your identity
did I think about borrowing your power.
But,
even though I used you,
I never wanted to hurt you.
I did all of that for my Tian family.
But don't you realize
the biggest obstacle for you to leave the mountain?
Ye Xiaotian.
Why are you so cruel?
Why take away everything from me
when I'm about to succeed?
Because you caused Yingying's death!
If it weren't for you,
Yingying wouldn't have died!
Kneel down.
I know you are a great martial artist.
But if you don't want your whole family
to die with you,
then kneel down.
Miss Yingying.
I thought myself a great martial artist,
there was
a secret passage,
I thought nothing could go wrong.
But then... If it weren't for your stupid plan,
Yingying wouldn't have died.
It was an accident!
How could I have known that Miss Yingying would suddenly appear?
It has already happened.
What do you want?
I want to kill you.
Kill me?
Even if you kill me,
Miss Yingying won't come alive.
It was really an unintended mistake of mine.
I never wanted her to die!
Are the Zhang family's people in your hands?
Did you make peace with Zhang Yutong and Zhang Yi?
You are a concubine's son of the Zhang family. Promise me one thing,
and from now on,
you will be a legal wife's son of the Zhang family.
You...
In order to maintain our Zhang family's power, please leave Tongren and go into hiding.
Once the time is right, we will regain our power.
I have arranged your way of escape.
The guards at the back door have been bribed. Come out quickly.
Cousin.
Uncle.
Follow me.
Go.
Zhang Yutong.
You have no way to escape.
Tell your people to put down their weapon.
Or else,
everyone will be killed.
Zhang Cheng.
It was you.
Take them away.
Move.
You let a concubine's son become the master.
The Zhang^ family may not submit to him.
If he wants to secure his position,
he won't leave you.
So he will be in your control, right?
So right now,
you are of no use anymore.
Why?
Even though the Zhang family relies on you now,
but that doesn't mean
that they won't return to power.
You need balance.
Take me to balance the Zhang family.
Then let the Zhang family keep me in check.
You're saying,
that after you deceived and used me,
I should let you go?
I suffered so many years,
I have finally turned the situation around.
I got rid of that venomous snake.
I took infinite pains,
I finally
turned the subordinates
back into my subordinates.
I couldn't be elated even for one day.
How can you just take all of that away from me?
I gave it to you!
Taking it back now is only right and proper.
But the things you owe me,
you have yet to pay for them.
So what do you want?
Tell me!
I want you
to do three things for me.
First,
the hereditary prefect position is still the Zhang family's.
Because Zhang Yi and Zhang Yutong must die,
I need the support of the concubine's son of the Zhang family. I will stabilize Tongren quickly.
I went to such lengths,
to finally get this chance for my Tian family.
You don't have a choice.
But I can promise you,
the new prefect
can be like the former you, he doesn't need to sit in the yamen.
I will give you the real power.
Let you become the actual prefect.
I promise you.
Secondly,
the ones who killed Yingying,
except for Zhang Yi and Zhang Yutong
there is Yu Long.
I want you to catch Yu Long
and bring him to Yingying personally.
OK.
Thirdly.
