Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin
[Episode 3]
[Xiao Yuanshi, Crown Prince of Great Liang'
[Xun Shi, Empress of Great Liang]
Yuanshi, how do you feel today?
I am a bit hungry.
- Relay this now. - Yes.
The illness of Crown Prince improved so fast.
It was all thanks to High Priest Puyang for praying over him and calming his spirit. [ Puyang Ying, High Priest of Great Liang]
The illness of Crown Prince was caused by a mixture of his seasonal sickness and evil spirits.
The imperial doctors cure the disease while I drive the evil spirits away.
The two methods helping each other, hence, the treatment worked.
High Priest has always been this humble. You never claim a merit as being just your own.
You have praised me too much.
Prince of Chang Lin is already in his way back here.
No matter how things will progress,
who will head the handling of this matter,
you and the Ministry of War cannot meddle in this matter anymore.
Hope that at this time, the people that we sent
will be able to clean the matter in Datong very well.
As for the other matter, it won't benefit us to overthink about them.
Minister Xun and Minister Song.
Minister Song's complexion is quite dark. There is a slight sign of weakening of your luck.
The inauspicious wind seems to be coming from the north. Is your house doing well lately?
What did you say?
In our life, it is just common for our luck to have ups and downs.
Minister need not panic.
I'm taking my leave.
This Puyang Ying...even though he has the title of High Priest,
he is still just a sorcerer from the Baishen Sect.
Yet he is being this arrogant.
Okay already. Although our country is not like the southern state of Chu
wherein the whole country practices the Baishen religion,
we also didn't prohibit it.
After Her Lady Highness Empress summoned him into the palace,
the breathing illness and physique of the Crown Prince improved.
We cannot say that he didn't have any merits.
[Datong Prefecture]
Personal Assistant Qin, the envoys from the capital has already set out to come here. Yet you still personally came here at this time.
Isn't that not suitable?
It is very clear that Minister Song is your teacher.
Why must still avoid any suspicion?
The most urgent thing now is to make the sinking of the boats [Duan Tongzhou, private assistant of Grand Secretary Song Fu]
look like an accident. We cannot let anyone find any evidence.
Tell me honestly, have you already cleaned it all up?
Speak.
That time, there coincidentally was a little passenger boat behind the ships. [Magistrate Zhang, magistrate of Datong Prefecture]
There were a few doctors from Jifeng Hall in the boat
and they were able to save a lot of people from the water.
I know that since the matter has already lost control, I must not let anyone live.
That's why, I immediately sent men to clean up the mess.
- But... - But what?
Although they were able to sink the passenger ship in the end,
there were still 3 doctors from Jifeng Hall
who was able to take away the captain of one of the ship with them
and have escaped.
Escaped? Still haven't found them?
I am currently meticulously searching the whole city.
I've also sent men to monitor the pharmacy in the city owned by the Jifeng Hall.
As long as there are any movements, we surely will know about it.
Monitor? You clearly know that it was Jifeng Hall who saved the person
so why didn't you enter and search?
Jijfeng Hall is a medical facility. They treat and save people and has a good reputation.
This matter also cannot be publicized. Without any reasons, how can I search them?
We can't care about that much anymore. No matter with what reasons,
immediately search them.
Young Prince, are you also going to interfere with such unimportant matter?
If those people are saying the truth, [Xiao Yuanqi, Prince Laiyang of Great Liang]
then this is not just an unimportant matter.
As a relative of the imperial family, since I came across this matter already,
how can I not interfere?
Prince!
Greetings, Prince.
Leader Qian, you have worked hard.
Leader Qian, you are...
Catching criminals.
Do you have any wanted posters?
Just some habitual criminals.
Oh...habitual criminals.
Then Leader Qian, you can go back to your work.
Young Prince.
The government officers are meticulously searching the area. They claim to be looking for some habitual criminals.
They have surrounded this area.
I know that Young Prince also know that their reason of looking for some criminals is false.
They really wanted to capture us.
Silencing people in the middle of the night.
I never believed such things before. But right now...
We three are just normal doctors. We initially thought that we just coincidentally came across a shipwreck.
We tried our best to save a few people while in the river.
If not because there were people who chased us and tried to kill us afterwards,
who would have thought that behind all these...
Among the people that you saved, was he the only one left?
Yes. Yes.
If not because Young Prince coincidentally passed by and was willing to help us,
I fear that we wouldn't have been able to escape to here.
You all do not need to worry. After all, I do still have some position.
I am in the midst of my tour and just happen to pass by here. I am totally an outsider.
Nobody is also taking notice of this house so nothing bad will happen.
Thank you, Young Prince.
Young Prince, you can't really hide them here forever, right?
What this brother said is very right.
With such a crime, how can we let them cover it up?
We must think of a way to escape and report it.
Although I am an idle man in the capital, I also do know
that for matters like this, the water behind it must be very deep.
Even if you are able to luckily escape Datong Prefecture, then for the next step,
who should you report it to so as to ensure that nothing wrong will happen?
The regional government? The military office?
Or the capital?
Take care.
Thank you.
Customer, what do you think about this?
Stop!
The office of the prefecture is here to capture a criminal. All of you just stay where you are!
Whether it's in the front or the back of the shop, as long as you see a person, detain them all!
Yes!
Stay on the side. Don't move.
Move back. Move back.
[Jifeng Hall]
Ms. Lin, I admit that I have offended you before.
But I already apologized. You don't need to keep following me.
From the Ganzhou Military Camp up to here, you traveling behind me.
You are not planning to tell me that these are all just a coincidence, right?
Say, you are not planning to follow me up to Datong Prefecture, right?
That night when there was a shipwreck in the river section near Datong Prefecture,
other than 3 military supply ships sinking,
there was also one passenger ship that got overturned.
There were five Jifeng Hall doctors in that boat.
Two died and three are missing.
Second Young Master has a reason for going to Datong prefecture.
Our Jifeng Hall also has one.
Sorry...I really did not know of such things.
Miss Lin, I was just joking earlier. I am not really thinking that you were following me.
Good morning.
Let us go. We must travel again.
Did you not say you were going to the area where the ships sank? Why did you follow me into the city?
I wanted to go to the shipwreck site and find some clues but there is also no hurry to do it now.
I will be more at ease if I see you return to Jifeng Hall first.
It is already Jifeng Hall in front.
This brother, I heard that the doctors in this clinic is very good. I especially came to have a consult.
How come it is close?
You are so unlucky. You came a day late.
Yesterday, there was a murderer who was escaping from the officers.
He just so happen to have escaped into the clinic.
The local soldiers went in to capture him and they fought inside causing a big mess of the place.
Just wait for a little more while. They surely must clean up for a few days before they can open again.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
The guards at the city gates are searching people and something like this happened to your Jifeng Hall.
Looks like the two of us passing by here is a right decision.
Let us go.

Miss Lin.
Sister Yun.
Miss Lin, you finally are here.
There are someone in here.
I know.
Young Prince, you also saw that the government officers have searched all the restaurants and inns here.
They will search our manor sooner or later.
It is really not a good idea to keep hiding them like this.
Even if the sinking of the military supply ship is just an accident,
the capital will surely send people to verify it. Moreover,
this matter has so many suspicious aspects. People coming here to investigate it will happen sooner or later.
Don't rush. Let us wait a little more longer.
Young Prince, it is just that the travel here from the capital is so far.
What if the envoys has not come and they discover them first?
Young Prince, what about your safety?
Even if they discover them in the end, can they really do anything to me?
Young Prince!
Young Prince, we are really grateful for your chivalrous act.
If in the future, you will indeed get pushed back into a wall, we surely will leave first.
We have no reasons to bring trouble to you.
Doctor Cheng,
as a member of the imperial family, since I was able to live a luxurious life,
I then must bear my responsibility as the citizen of this state.
Encountering a huge matter like this that will endanger our borders,
is it not something that I should meddle with?
I do not know where your words of bringing trouble to me come from.
I said the wrong words earlier. May Young Prince forgive me.
Young Prince, when we just left the capital,
Grand Madam especially instructed me...
Uncle Tai, are you like my mother
who feels that I only know to leisurely spend my time and unable to do anything?
No. No. I don't mean it that way.
Moreover, it is already too late to say such things.
I am already involved in this matter.
Now that the matter has come to this, rather than just sitting and waiting to be killed,
why not actively attack?
Young Prince, what are you planning to do?
Based on your narration, the one who led people to search the clinic was a Leader Qian from the Datong Prefecture Office.
He immediately detained everyone. But after searching, he didn't find anything. Am I right?
Right.
It is very clear that Leader Qian knew that the people he was searching for
are those missing doctors of your clinic.
But since they are still searching for them,
it means that we did not come that late.
Sister Yun, go and prepare a room for our guest.
Okay.
With the weather being this good, the moon surely will be bright tonight.
It is quite a good time to visit the prefecture office.
Are you suspecting that the prefecture magistrate is involved in this matter?
Although it is not only the Magistrate Zhang that can mobilize
the level 5 troop leaders,
just looking at the situation upon entering Datong Prefecture,
wherein there are so many check points and searches every several steps,
I do not believe that the magistrate does not know anything.
How about it? A bright moon and clear night sky is a rare event.
Miss Lin, why don't we admire the moon together tonight?
Not going.
Why?
Today is the 1st of the month. How can there be any bright moon?
You go by yourself.
Did these people already escape out of the Datong territory?
Impossible!
The first thing I did that night was put all the borders in lock down.
I heard that the ship captain even injured his leg.
If they escaped out of Datong, I would have already caught them.
There is only one possibility.
That is they secretly infiltrated back into the city and is waiting for the situation to calm down.
These people did not even go back to the Jifeng Hall Pharmacy.
It shows that they are very careful. Plus the fact that they are locals.
In such a huge city, if they want to hide without worries,
it is indeed hard to find them.
It was initially agreed that the responsibility in this matter
about the military supplies transport will be bore by the transporting officials.
Even if it happens in my territory, as long as we make them believe that it was an accident,
the punishment that I will suffer will not be that grave.
Once this matter has been forgotten, teacher will try to promote me.
But what about now? Don't talk about promoting,
if we are unable to solve this matter, our life is in danger.
Magistrate, there are only some witnesses that escaped right now.
There are still a lot of leeway to resolve this matter.
Right now, you are already panicking.
Isn't it too early for that?
What if those people...
There is an assassin! There is an assassin!
Catch the assassin!
Who are you?!
Hurry and leave.
That was good martial arts skills.
Private Assistant, that was...
People from the capital will not be able to arrive here that fast.
It must be people from the northern border.
- Northern border? - Yes.
Were you hurt? Let me see.
I am fine.
Although I indeed underestimated the enemies a little,
this aide surely is not an ordinary one.
His palm just swept past me and didn't really hit me.
How come this clothing looks as if it got burned?
Ghost like and without shadows...
Dark fire of the netherworld.
Duan Tongzhou?!
That's right.
It must be him. He is fourth in the Langya rankings.
Duan Tongzhou whose background that no one knows.
Is there really no one who knows his background? Even the Langya Court does not know?
There are so many people in this world. How can Langya Court knows everything about everyone?
A highly skilled martial artist like Duan Tongzhou cannot also be hired by simple people.
It shows that the shady plot behind all these
is deeper than I have initially thought.
Do not know which ministers and nobility from the capital will get discovered to be part of this.
Who is out there?!
Yuanqi?
Leader Qian.
Private Assistant Qin.
Did any suspicious person arrive in the city
this morning?
After the shipwreck, we have been searching day and night and did not find any suspicious people.
But there was actually one nobility.
Nobility?
What nobility?
Prince Laiyang.
Was he the son of Prince Laiyang, the little brother of His Majesty that has died quite young, his name being Xiao Yuanqi?
Right, it is him. He was touring and passed by here.
I even bumped into him by the city gates this morning.
When did he arrive?
Half a month ago.
Half a month ago?
Yes, I remember.
When he entered the city, we didn't do a thorough check on him.
He is after all an imperial relative. Our men cannot bear to offend him.
That is strange then.
Do not know what magnificent scenery is here in Datong Prefecture
that is worthy for this young prince to stay that long.
Private Assistant Qin, what you mean is...
How about this?
Once it is daybreak, gather your men and let us give this Young Prince a visit.
Greetings, Young Prince.
Leader Qian, do not know what is here in my house
that's worthy for you to set up such a huge formation.
Prefecture Magistrate heard that you got abducted so he especially sent us here to save you.
Seeing that Young Prince is safe and sound. I am at ease then.
Full of lies!
Who told you that I got abducted?!
I am just following orders. Hope Young Prince will forgive me.
Capture all the criminals inside the house!
Be more careful. Do not let the criminals harm the prince.
Yes!
Check there. Look for secret rooms or tunnels.
Leader Qian, we found nothing.
Look there.
Leader Qian, nothing at all.
What?
We've searched the whole place. No finds at all.
I understand.
Go now.
Prince, we have gotten a false tip and recklessly disturbed you. Hope Prince will forgive us.
Let us go!

Close the door.
Greetings, Young Prince.
Greetings, Young Prince and Second Young Master,
Miss Lin.
Where is the ship captain?
We have asked him numerous times but he insisted that he will only talk once you arrive.
What did you say? You did not find any of them?
Private Assistant Qin!
This matter has already lost control to this level.
Not only is my life in danger, the life of Minister Song is also in danger.
You should try thinking of a way, right?
Things have already gotten into this state. So many kind-hearted people lost their lives just to save you.
If you still want to live, tell me everything that you know starting now.
Hurry and say it.
This is the Second Young Master of the House of Chang Lin. Right now, only him can save you.
I work for the military transportation. I have worked there for so many years and has always been very meticulous.
But a few days ago, something happened in my family. My son owed a huge gambling debt.
Leader Qian came to me.
He said...
Are you seeing these clearly? These money are enough to save your son
and to bring your family to some place where you can comfortably live for the rest of your life.
In these 3 supply ships, your ship will be in front. Once you pass the Tiger Fjord,
immediately slow down, move south, and turn your ship sideways.
This...doing that will cause the 3 ships to collide with each other.
That's right, I actually want the ships to run aground.
This...
The supplies being transported in these ships are military supplies.
Why are we doing this?
Some high government official in the capital is playing underhand politics. Why must you care so much?
The magistrate is also backing us in this matter. Nothing to be afraid of.
A high official in the capital?
Looks like behind all these, there is a person of a higher status that's masterminding it.
Based on what he said,
I more or less can understand now why Duan Tongzhou got involved in this matter.
These past days, while hiding, I have given it much thoughts.
There must be somewhere else in the ships that were tinkered with. Three ships colliding with each other
and the situation quickly got out of control. I personally saw how the two ships behind me capsized.
Our boat almost was unable to last long.
That time, there was wind and rain and we were in such a place.
If not because the passenger boat of the doctors coincidentally passed by,
I fear that even half of us will not survive.
Too bad, we were able to save them for just a short while. We were able to pull up 7 to 8 people. We were thinking of hurrying to the next dock
But never thought that when it was just about daybreak, we got stopped by the people that were chasing us.
With your testimonies, I reckon that it will be hard for the people from the Datong Prefect Office to deny their involvement in this.
If we are able to find material evidence,
that will be better.
But I heard that one ship cannot be pulled up the surface at all.
The other two were pulled up but they are so destroyed.
I fear that it will be hard to find any material evidence.
You are saying that the ships that were pulled up are still around?
Right.
Magistrate, you don't need to worry. Even if we are unable to find him,
that is only losing one witness.
We still have room to refute his claims.
His Majesty is a very merciful person and is very rigorous in handling matters.
As long as the House of Chang Lin is unable to present any material evidence,
this might not really end up as being a losing game.
Hope what you are saying will become true.
Regarding material evidences, may Minister Song be at ease.
Last time, when the regional office sent people to supervise the pulling up of the ships,
I was worried that I will get interrogated so I have already meticulously cleaned up beforehand.
There were no traces of any paper communications that were left behind.
What did you say?
I said...no paper trails were left behind.
What pulling up of the sunken ship?
It was sitting fine below the river so why must you pull it up?
It was not me who wanted to pull it up.
Even though such a huge matter happened in my territory,
the regional office must still interfere.
My superior sent people to supervise the pulling up of the ship. How then can I block it?
- Prepare the horse. - Yes.
Looks like someone from the Prefecture Office noticed this matter. We are still one step late.
You are saying that he directly went there and burned everything?
Yes. We did not do anything at all.
Magistrate, do not worry.
I arrived there on time. I have already taken care of it.
What did you backtrack and take care of? What else must be taken care of?
You are a smart person.
Have you still not understand what is happening here?
Our initial agreement was
to cause an accident to these supply ships and delay the transport for a few days.
It is just that they met a thunderstorm that night
so we lost control and the matter ended up this way.
Could it be that what I thought was wrong?
Could it be that Minister Song planned from the beginning to make it this grave?
Magistrate, we are already ants walking on one rope.
What is still the use of you saying 'we initially agreed to this' and 'the plan was supposed to be that'
at this moment?
Magistrate.
This magistrate is really weird.
He placed the ship by the riverbank for so long and did not do anything about it.
How come he suddenly remembered to take care of it?
Who cares what his reason is? Anyway, the ships are now burned that nothing was left.
Wait a minute.
It seems that not everything was lost. There is still one ship under the river.
When you two left, I have already asked around. The water near the sunken ship is very turbulent.
Plus it will be winter soon. The water is too cold. Even the best diver
will not easily agree to give it a try.
Miss Lin, Yuanqi,
do you two know that I have a code name in Langya Mountain and what is it about?
I do not know.
Do you guys know the Ice Crystal in the Langya Lake?
You two do not know how many times have I touched that thing.
That is why I am quite famous in Langya Mountain.
People call me Little Divine Dragon of the Cold Lake.
Why are you laughing?
I will not laugh anymore. Where is your tail?
Little Divine Dragon?
Did she laugh earlier?
You laughed? I even thought you do not know how to laugh.
Magistrate, is there really any use in sending madam and young master away?
In this world, every land is under the emperor.
I also know that doing this might not be of any use.
I am just doing it to get some peace.
You must carefully think about the location of the sunken ship. You must not mark the wrong location.
This location , I will never forget it anymore.
Pingjing currently is in Datong Prefecture. What could be his situation now?
Although there is someone from Jifeng Hall helping him,
his strength (in numbers) is still too thin.
It is to secretly investigate and not to battle it out.
Painful, right?
In Pingjing going alone to Datong Prefecture, there is also an advantage in travelling with only a few people.
Moreover, this kid's way of doing things and manner of thinking is very different from us.
He has more jianghu air around him.
Of course, I believe that Pingjing surely has a way to get the evidences.
But what happens after he get them?
The travel from Datong to the capital is very long.
Will those people involved
not think of any plans?
Should we also make this move of ours now?
This place is already not far from the Shanliu Military Camp of Qizhou.
Okay.
