Master Bai
You should be able to guess why I am here
Shen Yuesheng?
Although Official Zhao released me free of charge,
the Shen family still believe our Wu family are the murderer
In order to prove our innocence
and also for Shen Yuesheng
to rest in peace
I want to know from you
what Shen Yuesheng actually died of
Young Master Shen was stabbed in the chest, right through his heart
What kind of knife? It is a very unique knife
What is unique about the knife?
Hold a second. Go and get a writing brush and ink
I have been a legal advisor for over 10 years
I have never seen
a weapon like this
This should be a western styled bayonet
As far as you know, who in Jingyang
may have such a knife?
Jingyang people run business all over the world
But I have not heard of anyone having dealings with westerners.
Then who do you think
the murderer could be?
I am still most suspicious of
the Wu family
If the corpse was found somewhere else
then the Wu family is suspected the most
however the body was found in Wu's warehouse
right at the time when the imperial commissioner is here
It actually proves
the Wu family was not involved in Shen Yuesheng's death
Then excluding them,
who had a grudge against Shen Yuesheng?
Maybe the grudge was against the Wu family?
I actually think
the murderer killed Shen Yuesheng
in order to frame the Wu family
Father, I have talked to Master Bai
There are some clues but no clear directions
Just shelve this matter first
Oh, yes
The Shen family has set up the mourning hall for Shen Yuesheng
you send Lao Yang over to offer our condolences
Let me go
You?
I am more suitable than Butler Yang
considering my position
No
The Wu family now hate your guts
therefore it is more important I should go so that to let people know
I am fair and square and have nothing to hide
This is why I am not afraid of going
Wu Ping
you only consider your own view point
but you have never considered other's
At the beginning
all you wanted was harmony
you even lowered your position to collaborate with the Shen family
In deed
the Shen family had their own plans
At the end the order became problematic
and nearly dragged us into the mire
Now you have all the good intentions
But will Shen Sihai appreciate you?
Maybe when you go there
they think you are showing off your power
Father, what the Shen family think is their business
but I need to make my effort
No. What is between
the Shen family and us now
is hatred, rather than just unpleasantness
I am afraid they will harm you when you are there
Maybe my attendance will defuse the hatred
You are too optimistic about the situation
They lost their son
It is not something that can be solved by offering our condolences
But if I don't go, we will lose our usual demeanor
I would rather lose our demeanor than putting you at risk
Father, no matter how much the Shen family dislike me
in broad daylight and under the eyes of everyone, they won't do anything do me.
The human mind is complex
You are noble but he is vile so you will take a beating at the end
I said No
Big brother
You rest in peace
I promise I will take the revenge for you
Chunxing
Have you got the stuff ready for Zhou Ying? Yes, I have.
Let me have a look
Please give me a moment
Young Master, as you have instructed, these are her favourite items
These are warmer clothes
Gong Tian Chao Rui (Zhou Ying read the words in the wrong sequence)
Famous tea
Young Master
If you don't want Zhou Ying to go, then let her stay
Let her go
She does not belong here
The training is not complete. Why are you leaving?
I must go to deal with some family issues
Have not you not found your dad yet?
Don't worry. With what I learned here
I can be an accountant and provide for myself
Will anyone want to hire you? Surely will.
then
you take care on the road. Sure.
Zhou Ying, we don't know when we can meet again once you leave
As long as the mountain is still green, the river will flow
and we will meet again
Zhou Ying, I also don't want to let you go
really? you must be wishing me to leave
so that you will be the top one
that was before
You really think I did not know
Did you report to the trainer
when I charged the others for completing their homework
I am sorry.
I desperately wanted to kick you out back then
Why not now?
I found out later that you are a nice person
and
Can you forgive me?
I've already forgiven you
Hadn't you reported me
I would not have become a trainee
Take this
What is this
This is my home address
If you get into any difficulties in the future
you must come and see me
To all the future shop managers
I wish you a good career and fortune
I am going now. Good bye
Turn this side over later to get it dry in the sun. Chunxing
Zhou Ying
Where is the young Master? I am here to say goodbye to him
He left very early in the morning
When will he be back. He said he wouldn't be long
Ok. I will wait for him
Are you leaving today
Yes
Where are you going
I will try and find my dad first, then go to the grassland
If I get bored on the grassland, then I will head east to the sea
I really envy you. You can go anywhere you want to
Would you like to come with me?
No, I can't. I will take care of you, don't worry.
Zhou Ying
you are different
What's the difference
It's hard to say
You are just different
Every time I close my eyes now
Yuesheng is in front of me
But you have slept for 2 days and nights
Keep going like this
Don't worry
I will not collapse
Otherwise
the family will have no support
Xing'er (nickname for Shen Xingyi)
has been managing everything in and outside the house
he is more sensible than before
Hope so
Master, the Wu family is here to condole
What is he doing here
How dare he to come
Throw him out
Let him in. Master!
I would like to hear
what he has to say
Brother Yuesheng,
you know it the best that
I am not the murderer
nor anyone from the Wu family
But I feel guilty
If I had not asked you to take the military supplies order together
you would not have been killed
Right here I,
make my solemn oath here today
I will find the murderer
to avenge your death
And I ask you
to make the murderer
to be caught
if you can see in the netherworld
Yuesheng
2nd Young Master
Wu Ping is here
He also brought along the elegiac couplet
How dare he to come
kill him
You killed our Elder Young Master and you dared to come
What bullshit are you saying
Keep steady
So much
I just need some changing clothes
The Young Master told me to prepare all of these for you
Take them
I feel I have let him down so much
I am going now
Aren't you waiting for him?
I have waited for 4 hours. I can't delay any longer
Please tell the Young Master when he comes back
that I have gone
and I will remember him, and what he has ever told me
Stop. Who are you?
What are you doing? Young Master, it is dangerous here
Young Master
2nd Young Master, people coming. Run
Catch them
Miss Zhou. You want me?
Yes. The Young Master told me to get a carriage
for you
I appreciate him. Are you leaving now?
Let's go
Open the door. Quick.
The Young Master
Miss Zhou
Did you see their faces?
Anything identifying them?
No, my lord
But I heard one of them calling their leader
2nd Young Master
My Lord, I bit their leader
Where
Here
2nd Young Master, you
you?
What happened. Who bit you?
Don't move. Let me check
Wait. I will go and get some medicine. Don't worry.
The Master is wanting you. Ok, I know.
Throw this out
Dad, are you looking for me?
After Wu Ping left our house,
he was ambushed in town
He is dying
Dying then is not dead yet
Did you do it?
Big brother, is that your apparition?
I am asking you
Xing'er
What are you doing? Why are you so silly
Why are you so silly
Lord Zhao, what's up
Despising human life, and injuring the innocent
According to the Qing law, I am here to arrest you
Have you got the wrong person
The interrogation later in the court will tell if I got the wrong person
No, no, no
Let go of your hands
Please don't, Lord Zhao
What have we done that offended you
Master Shen, I am just doing my job
How much money did Wu Weiwen give you? I will give you 10 times
Shen Sihai
If you talk nonsense again, I will take you down as well
Injustice
My elder son died of injustice
You don't try and find the real murderer
Now you are taking my second son away
Grand Master
Where is the justice
Shen Xingyi,
why did you assault Wu Ping
Lord Zhao, I don't even know what you are talking about
Clearly you were the lead in the attack in Shaniu Lan
and injured Wu Ping seriously
My Lord, I was at home the whole day today for my brother's service
I did not go to that Shaniu Lane at all
Ok
How would explain this wound. This?
When I was burning joss paper to my brother, I accidentally tipped over the stick
and burned myself
2nd Young Master,
you are very cunning
I am telling the truth, My Lord
Lord Zhao
If you have evidence and witness
you'd better convict my guilty as early as possible
But if you don't have any evidence
you'd better release me
I will find the evidence
Behave yourself. How could you have any interest in these calligraphy copy books
What's up?
Young Master Wu Ping is in trouble
Brother Wu Ping? It's said he was assaulted and injured badly
When did this happen? Today
Miss
Wait
Miss. I have heard of a famous doctor in Luoyang
and his name is Dong
His great grandfather treated the emperor
You send someone to ask him to come immediately, no matter how much it will cost
Yes, I will do it immediately
Father, I have heard about Wu Ping's injury
Don't worry, I am already looking for good doctors
And I will go to see them now
Let me go with you. No, you can't go
Why? You are already engaged with Wu Ping
It is inappropriate that you see him before your wedding
But... Listen to me.
For Wu Ping's sake, you should stay at home
Dr Sun,
How is he?
Excuse me
If the Young Master can survive the next few days
I am confident to bring him back to life
Lao Yang
Take Dr Sun to the study room to write prescriptions
Dr Sun, please follow me to the study room
Grand Master, the doctor said
Wu Ping can be saved
Did not you hear his words at the beginning?
If he could survive the next few days
That is to say
he may not survive the next few days
Grant Master
Grand Master, the 2nd and 4th Masters are here
Big brother, sister-in-law
How is he today
Same as before
What did the doctor say
Brother
I have heard there is an elderly scholar
who does not treat people lightly
but as long as he does, the patient's life will be saved
Is this elderly scholar's surname Sun and
living in Yangliupo?
Yes. He is in the study writing a prescription right now
What did he say?
Let fate take its course
Brother,
did you ask a Master to come and have a look
What kind of Master
Grand Master
Mr Hu brought a famous doctor over from Luoyang
Ask them in quickly
Grand master is back
Dad, how is Wu Ping
Dad
What really happened
Even Dr Dong said he could do nothing about it
This time Wu Ping's life
is on the line
Dad, I beg you
Save him
Please try
It is no use you begging me
We can only pray to the God
How is the Young Master doing
Didn't they say they found a famous doctor from Luoyang?
Yes. But he still has not waken up after taking the medicine three times
It has been a whole day and night
I am going to see him
Just go
Young Master
It's Zhou Ying
I am here to see you
Wake up
I pray to you, my God
Please wake him up quickly
I was such a bluffer and cheater yet I
had no problems
and I am heathy
The Young Master is a really good person
How could you treat him like this
Hurry and wake him up
I beg you
My merciful Guanyin godness
please save Wu Ping
As long as Wu Ping can wake up
I am willing to
give out my life
Guanyin godness
I beg you
The doctor who treated Wu Ping said he was still breathing
but he is in critical condition
It must be the Shen family who attacked him
Zhao Baishi has arrested Shen Xingyi
Boss
The imperial commissioner for the military supplies case
where is he?
He has already left Jingyang
Did he find anything
I don't know
It is said that he is someone who keeps his mouth shut
Another day has gone
Will the Young Master sleep to death
What did you say?
The Young Master has God's bless, he will be fine
But the doctor said if he did not wake up in 3 to 5 days
then he would not wake up at all
Really
You got to remember
what I told you just now. Yes.
Who are they
They are the 3rd Grand Master and his wife from the Wu family
and Young Master Wu Yu
Zhou Ying
You have been to a lot of places and seen a lot of people
can you think of a way to save the Young Master
I am already thinking
My nephew
Why aren't you awake yet
Wasn't it said that you would be better after a few days
How come it is like this
My nephew
My nephew. Third brother
Your sister-in-law has just pulled herself together. You are provoking her again
Big brother, my heart is aching
Sister-in-law, don't cry
Let's sit over there, sister-in-law
Xialian, fetch a warm towel for the madam. Yes.
Dongmei, get a soft cushion to put on the stool
You get a cup of tea quickly
Sister-in-law, don't cry
What are you going to do next
The 4th brother said he knew someone who is really skilled
Oh
Don't know it is true or not
I have already sent him to ask the person to come
We can only do our best and leave the rest to God
My poor nephew
Wu Yu. Eh, mother. You stay here tonight
I...
You stay with your Uncle and aunty
Your aunty is always fond of you ever since you were little
Your brother Wu Ping is now in such a condition
you should take care of your aunty like you do your father and me
Do you know. Yes, mum.
No need for that.
Big brother,
I am afraid Wu Ping is unlikely
to get better soon
You can keep Wu Yu with you
even just getting him to do some chores. You need someone close to you
No need for this. That is ok, it is no big deal for us
Wu Yu
You stay with your uncle and take good care of them
just help out wherever you can
Ok, dad.
If you need anything, just tell Wu Yu
you just treat him as your own son. We are a family
Don't worry, I am here for you
Come over quickly
Shen Xingyi
this was found in your household rubbish
What do you want to say
What do you mean
This is the clothes you wore when you attacked Wu Ping
There are over 30 males in my family
How can you prove this is mine
Even if this clothes were mine, what would it prove?
The assailant was in black when he attacked Wu PING
Does that mean everyone who wears black is the assailant
You take a good look. It has Wu Ping's blood
and the bloody mark when you were bitten
Zhao Baishi, I do admire you.
You can tell whose blood it was with one glance
I have lots of ways to make you confess
Take him out and cane him
Is it just caning?
You will not confess even if you cut my head off
Zhao Baishi
However you torture me
I will not confess
You still so stubburn
I will see
if your bone is as hard as your mind
Beat him
I will go to visit
the Hu family tomorrow morning
Here he is. Don't talk too long
Xing'er
Dad. Come over, Xing'er
Dad, why are you here
Did Zhao Baishi beat you
He gave me
20 canes
But you rest assured, I did not admit to anything
As long as I don't confess
he can't do anything to me
Xing'er
You, you
you
Why do you feel so hot
Dad,
has Wuping died?
Xing'er, hold on
I will get some medicine for you
I am ok, dad
my big brother
is staying
with me here
What are you talking about
I saw my big brother. He told me
he is going away for business
Xing'er, are you all right
Xing'er, hold on, hold on
Don't be afraid. Hold on
Mr Shen, you need to go now
Please. I have a few more words to tell Xing'er
If your visit were found out by other, I would be in big trouble.
Xing'er, hold on. Dad will get you out
