" Huang Fei Hong " Episode 26
The fighting in the royal family is never ending.
If I really become one of his concubines...
...I'll be dragged into the cunning game of power in the harem as well.
When that happens, I will become a woman hated by everyone...
...and him as well.
He will never understand, I just wanted to be his humble servant.
Stay by his side...
...make his favourite orache biscuit for him everyday.
Why are you doing this?
Tell me.
Are they forcing you...
...or are you doing this willingly?
I am doing this on my own will.
Fine.
If you are being forced to do so...
...why don't you resist?
Am I not treating you good enough?
You are marrying someone else instead of becoming a concubine?
- Why are you doing this? - You will never understand.
We will never be together.
I'm the Iron-hat King of Great Qing. I will marry whoever I want!
If I become your concubine, will life ever become better for me?
- What do you want? - Nothing!
Bear this in mind.
I will marry whoever I like.
Please, don't get in the way of my happiness.
Get out of my sight!
Perhaps, this is the karma I had in my previous life.
After that, His Highness continues to marry new wives...
...in order to force you into be with him. But you refused.
Yes, I let him down.
I can imagine that...
...all his other concubines have some resemblance of you.
But His Highness never loved them, so he has no children until now.
What makes you to bestow such cruelty on him?
He is a prince but I'm a servant.
Such fate can never be changed. I am not good enough for him.
Master Huang, it's getting late.
You should go now.
Okay!
Gui Lan.
Why are you dressing up like this?
Let me give you some words of wisdom.
There will always be someone who likes the book you don't.
There even be many who like it. Isn't that true?
Why are you talking about book now?
A man loved by Miss Cen and A Mei.
And he's my love as well. That is a fact.
But you must know a fact.
But Mr. Liang, Su and you like me too, that's a fact too.
I am a man and you are a woman, there is difference in that.
What's the difference?
I work as a constable and earn money for this family too.
For a man, that is handsome and charming.
For you, it's fickle and lascivious.
I am the George Sand of the East. I'm not going to argue with you.
Wait! Books get wrinkles when used too much!
No, I can't let Gui Lan keep doing this.
Liang Kuan is a smooth talker, he never stops looking for new targets.
Nothing good will ever come with a man like him.
I have to expose his true nature to her.
How about it?
Sir, you must be mistaken. My watch is made in America.
Why does it worth so little?
It is a good watch, but it is not working anymore.
I am giving this price because you are a regular customer here.
- How about it? - Fine, I will take it.
Here's the money.
Have a nice day.
Sir, remember me?
Physician Huang from Bao Zhi Lin. I shall remember you at all time.
A few months ago, you pawned all of your stuffs here.
- Is there something else to pawn? - No, that's not it.
I just want to know if that man comes here often.
Yes. Everyone had some hard times.
He and his father have been coming here a lot.
Look, my storeroom is almost full because of your stuffs...
...and Mr. Liang's belonging.
Then, I will take back my father's blanket for now.
Okay, I'll take it for you right away.
- Here's your blanket. - Thank you, sir.
- Have a nice day.
Little Fortune!
I made this 'orache rain'!
Isn't it beautiful?
Your Highness, you scared me!
We promised to meet each other under the orache tree.
I promised you, I will do it, no matter what.
Does it hurt?
No.
Am I smart?
Do you start to love me again?
Yes, that 'spicy water gun' of yours was impressive too.
With the torpedoes you made, our armada is sure to win the battle.
So, do you agree to marry me?
I am getting married!
- I am getting married! - What's wrong with him this time?
It's His Highness, Master Huang.
Stop grounding him in the backyard.
Take him out on the street or watch a play, it's good for him.
I will tell you something you don't know.
He heard that we lost the Battle of The Bogue.
That's why he always wanted to be in the army.
He never likes those arts or stage plays.
Funny, I've been reading Arts of War with him for so long...
...even I can memorize the book.
That must be hard for you, right?
I am a servant, my hardship might not be as much as a prince's.
Now that he has gone mad...
...that is good too. He can rest now that he is mad.
The country is no longer his concern. The gap between us is gone too.
- This is our best time of life. - Little Fortune!
Little Fortune, come over here!
Yes, Your Highness!
I don't understand Zhi well enough.
People thought he lives a wealthy life and wield the scepter...
...but he has been through a lot too.
- Physician Liu. - Hi!
Physician Liu, save me!
- Physician Huang! - Everyone, calm down.
I will give you the medicine and try them out for now.
Everyone will get it! Calm down, everyone will get it.
Everyone will get it. Stop pushing around.
Everyone will get it. Stop pushing each other around.
Thank you, Master Huang.
Thank you.
It's a honour to have a meal with you, Mr. Liang.
My allergy has been bad lately.
The doctor asked me not to eat any meat and fish.
So, I we can only have vegetables for this meal.
It's okay.
Mr. Liang has been having feast for meals.
Having some plain dishes occasionally is fine.
Xiao Er, give us some bitter gourds.
Is Miss Mo Gui Lan up there?
Are you Miss Mo Gui Lan?
Yes, I am.
Miss Mo, please come down for your flowers.
Miss Mo, Mr. Huang asked me to give this to you.
Mr. Huang?
I will be leaving now.
My most beloved Gui Lan.
I heard that George Sand only take flowers from one person.
From, your Frédéric Chopin.
Huang Fei Hong sure is full of love tricks.
- Huang Fei Hong, come out! - Huang Fei Hong, come out!
- Come out! - Now!
- Huang Fei Hong! Come out, now! - Huang Fei Hong, come out!
- Come out!
May I ask who you are?
Huang Fei Hong, that heartless man. He calls me his Sweet Heart everyday.
He said he can't get enough of me. He even gave me this!
- Huang Fei Hong, get out here! - Get out here!
- Huang Fei Hong, come out here! Now! - Come out here!
I am here.
If you are here for Zhi's debt, please give us a few more days.
- Aunty Thirteenth, you're back. - Yes, we are here for debts.
You said you can't get enough of me. Fine, but you should at least pay me!
You even gave me this, what do you mean?
Is that all that you got?
Huang Fei Hong said he will marry me.
I even have the love letter you wrote!
Shall I read it out loud?
Ladies, who are you people? I don't know you at all!
You can forget about me, but don't you remember him?
- Father, where is my cotton candy? - You!
Father? Cotton candy? What are you talking about?
Huang Fei Hong, you heartless wretch!
- You're still denying this? - I don't know them at all!
Tell me, did you send these flowers?
Or you lost count because you gave everyone flowers?
I sent those flowers.
Hai Ze asked me to send them. But I don't know about these people.
Beside that, how old are you?
- I am eight years-old. - Look! He is eight years-old!
I am still young eight years ago, how do I get a son like him?
I am Constable Mo from the Municipal Department.
You are causing disturbance at home and framing this man.
Who ordered you to do this?
Explain now or I will send you all to the prison!
Have mercy, Constable Mo!
- Tell me, what happened? - Have mercy, Constable Mo!
Tell her, now.
So, not even Constable Mo can withstand the tackle...
...from that womanizer Huang Fei Hong.
I have used up all my means to win her heart.
But I lost to a bouquet of flowers?
Love leaves a void in men's heart. Such is the endless loop of love.
Brother, who are you?
I am a butcher.
People call me the Prince of Butcher. You can call me Rong.
This is unfair for you.
This is not justice.
How about we teach Huang Fei Hong a lesson?
To be honest with you, I'm short on money lately.
You should ask someone else for this.
I am not here for your money, okay?
I am simply helping out a brother in need.
Think about this, didn't he asked a bunch of ladies to humiliate you?
We must use his way to do onto himself.
What do you mean?
What I mean is...
- Quick, come down here! - It's raining, why the rush?
Rong, anything we can help?
Can you do me a small favour if you have the time?
Sure.
This is a token of my gratitude. This is for you.
You are most welcomed.
Well, you can go now.
But please bear in mind that...
...if you mess with Huang Fei Hong again and I'll show you some colours!
- Thank you, Constable Mo. - Let's go.
You have my thanks, the Magnificent Constable Mo.
Where do I put my face if they are framing you like that?
I will teach them a lesson next time.
You are not mad at me anymore?
I will forgive you for the flowers you gave me.
Do you really think I don't know anything about Mr. Liang?
I am a constable.
I was just using him to mess with you. But now that it's over, we're good.
You knew they were liars, why did you call me a wretch?
- You thought I'm mad because of that? - What else?
We just paid the debts His Highness owed, and you are buying this?
How wasteful you are?
- I see. I won't buy them again. - How dare you!
- I dare not! - Huang Fei Hong!
You are asking for a beating, aren't you?
Here.
Thank you.
Rong doesn't seem to like us very much.
Ever since I became a constable and solved the Iron Monkey case...
...he's been talking behind my back.
I bet he's been hating me since I took away...
...his title of boxing champion.
As long as we do no evil, we don't need to worry about gossips.
You don't see the point.
- What point? - The point is Mr. Liang and Rong...
...are working together and they are not good people.
I promise not to go out with him on my own again.
Stop being personal to him.
- I will take to a place tonight. - Sure, what place?
The place Hai Ze and I went last time.
- Jian Die Inn? - What's wrong with the owner?
Naming a inn with words I can't even read.
Tonight?
Be there or be square.
You can't see me here...
Miss De, you are in the spotlight since you were a kid.
And I am just a Tomboy.
Can you tell me what makes us different?
Gui Lan, you do have potential.
- But you seem to lack something. - Lacking something?
- I can't tell either. - Is it the chest or the waist?
Neither. It seems to be something in your blood.
It's alright.
Take in what you lack. I do this quite often.
Let me tell you something, I have a secret weapon.
No man can ever withstand that.
Did I forget to wash it?
How am I supposed to wear this?
Just for tonight.
This is for my happiness with Fei Hong.
I must do this!
Hurry up!
What are you doing? Why are you standing like this?
- Stop asking, hurry up! - What's wrong with you?
Can't you walk normally? What's wrong with you?
" Jian Die Inn "
Front door? Can we enter from the back door?
Why must we enter from the front door?
A man and woman enter from the front door just like that?
Where else can we enter from?
You are a constable and you aren't even walking straight.
Come!
Boss, get us a room!
That felt good.
Son, you're so skillful. Even if you meet a dead end in life...
...opening a massage shop might actually work out for you.
Father, if you weren't frauded into investing that American railroad...
...and lost all our money.
- We don't even have to stay here. - Don't worry.
The fortune teller said I will be met with three fortunes and downfalls.
The money I lost are destined to return to me.
Liang Kuan, we are putting all our bet on the new Ten Tigers.
You must be careful.
Leave that to me.
Father, you should know.
Everyone in the Guangzhou City know about me, Mr. Liang Kuan...
...who is so generous and has a wide number of contacts.
The ladies who fell for the new Ten Tigers...
...can make a queue all the way from Bao Zhi Lin to the pork stall.
So, we will make a fortune and rebuilt the name of the Liang family.
Enough of that.
The way to make a fortune for the family is as simple as...
...taking in with your left hand and spend them with your right hand.
It depends on how smart you are.
Father, you are right.
From what I see, Huang Fei Hong and Rong...
...are nothing compared to me, Liang Kuan.
I heard about you and Constable Mo, are you two for real now?
It wasn't easy at the start, but she likes me more now.
It wasn't a big deal.
Making money is not your skill.
But winning heart sure is your true talent.
Father, you are right.
The Iron Monkey!
What did you say?
Father.
- Come any closer and I'll kill him. - Please, don't!
Sir Iron Monkey, I am told that you won't kill good people.
My father and I are both good people.
Please, let go of my father.
I don't usually kill good people.
But it's different if my hands feel itchy.
Itch?
A man has his need, and his hands itch when he's in need.
Do you know that?
Sir, you must be robbing the rich for the poor!
No problem.
Sir, if you let my father go...
...I will get you...
...a thousand taels of silver in three days, is that enough?
Come get your father once you have the money.
- Yes. - Use any tricks again...
Alright, I understand now.
- Come! - Liang Kuan!
- Father! Please, don't! - Save me!
I pressed his 'Sleeping Point'.
That will keep him out for a few days and ease your mind.
Thank you, Sir Iron Monkey.
- Thank you. - Thank you, miss.
- Here you are. - Alright!
Gui Lan, I finally found you.
- Are you... - Why are you here?
Are you trying to find some ladies to frame Huang Fei Hong?
Fang Fang, can I borrow another 30 taels?
Thirty taels? You haven't paid the 30 taels you borrowed last time.
Didn't you say you will bring ambergris from Hainan for me?
Where is it?
The world is so unpredictable.
My cargo ship encountered an unprecedented storm.
It's stranded at the port, it'll reach here in a few days.
How about I owe you another 30 taels? I will give you a discount.
- I'll give you two ambergris. - Don't bother, Mr. Liang.
I would lend you if you were borrowing 3,000 taels.
It's for big business.
But 30 taels? Don't even bother asking for it.
Chun Cao, the debut of the new Canton Ten Tigers starts next month.
I reserved the best seat for you. Is this price okay for you?
You are mistaken. My mother love the new Ten Tigers.
But you are the one I love.
You love me? That makes the deal easy.
Unfortunately, my mother passed away a few days ago.
And the Mr. Liang I loved doesn't look the same anymore.
So keep that ticket for yourself!
Miss Zhou, I am in dire need! Lend me some money, please!
My father's life is in your hand.
Mr. Liang, don't think of me as a fool.
The city is small and you keep borrowing money from the same people.
Don't you remember? I lent you 10 taels three days ago.
Really? Three days ago?
I am sorry, Miss Zhou. My memory isn't that good.
I am Miss Han, not Miss Zhou.
Please do some homework before you start scamming.
Gui Lan, what are you doing?
I know Little Fortune has been busy, I want to help her with the chores.
Thank you for that.
You are concerned for me and you help me look after Zhi.
After all, he is the man who killed your father.
We have been through a lot so far, there's no need for such words.
I kept demanding you to put me before anything.
I was too reckless.
Come.
What's wrong?
Are you alright? Let me take a look.
Is it the left eye? Let me have a look.
Feeling better?
Am I a fool for not seeing Liang Kuan's true face earlier?
You are a fool. How do take care of you if you are not?
Narcissist.
What do you plan to do with Liang Kuan and his father?
Liang Kuan might be bad, but his taste is not bad.
He likes Huang Fei Hong's girl.
I won't make it hard for them.
I didn't say I was your girl.
I wonder who is the one asking...
...to enter the Jian Die Inn from back door?
What? Huang Fei Hong, you foul fool!
I hate you!
Sir Iron Monkey, I only managed to get you...
...fifty taels.
But I did the best I could. Really! I tried my best!
Please, let my father go.
Fifty taels?
You two have been spraying money all over the place.
Now, you can't even get a thousand taels?
I know, you wish to see your father die sooner...
...and inherit his fortune, right? Fine, your wish will come true now.
Please, don't do it!
To be honest with you, my father had a failed investment.
We are all broke now.
Half of the money we spent are from the loan shark...
...and another half is for us to rebuild the business.
But my plan wasn't going well.
Ever since Huang Fei Hong exposed our scam for new Ten Tigers...
...those women has been asking for money and debts.
We don't have much money left. I'm keeping this from my father.
Liang Kuan, you just don't want me to worry, am I right?
Father, I am failure.
I let you down and you have to live in that lousy place.
There is no need for such words between us.
Leave me here, son. Leave, now!
You finally admitted it. You are nothing but scammers.
And I had to jump form the roof and carry you heavy old man here.
My arms are almost breaking apart. How do we settle for that?
I will follow whatever you said.
As long as you let my father go, do what you wish to me.
Fine, exchange your father's life with one of the arms...
...you use for martial arts.
How about it? Is it worth it?
No, don't do it.
Son, leave me be and leave now!
Run!
- Hurry up. - No!
I hope you keep your words.
Huang Fei Hong?
The two of you may be scammers but your bond is deep.
So, there must be some good in you.
I will give you another chance.
- What do you mean? - I know it all.
You've pawned every valuable items you had.
If you will, you can both stay in Bao Zhi Lin for now.
We have been going against you. Yet, you are still willing to help us.
Come, I was being rude just now. I hope you won't mind.
- Thank you, Master Huang. - Thank you.
Very well, I am really impressed this time.
I am no match for you in bravery and honour.
Son, we can't just stay there for free.
How about we help you out at the Bao Zhi Lin.
I thank you for that.
" Guangzhou "
- Master Huang! - Master Huang!
- Please go home!
- Master Huang! - Everyone, please go home!
- Master Huang! - Master Huang, please save me!
- Master Huang, he is here! - Master Huang is here!
- Master Huang, save me! - Save me please! I am dying!
- Master Huang, you have to save us! - Master Huang, look at us!
- Master Huang, look at us. - Master Huang, save us!
- What should we do now, Master Huang? - Please, save us!
- Look at my hands! - What should we do now?
- My hands too! - What happened to you?
I felt tired and weak a few days ago, I thought it was just fatigue.
But now, both our my hands are festering!
Everyone here caught the same sickness in just one night.
What happened actually?
Physician Huang, there are so many people here.
We should let them queue up and checked at the yard.
Father, we should help. Everyone, please queue up!
Everyone, queue up.
- Let's go! - Come, over here.
- Physician Liu is here. - Please queue up.
- Physician Liu, take a look at us. - Please queue up.
Hua Sheng, look at them. What happened to them?
You're the best physician!
This looks like the plague from the Northeast!
Plague?
This happened many years ago.
Around ten years ago, I was there to get some ginseng.
I was just in time to witness the unusually plague.
That town became a ghost town full of dead bodies.
But the rats are everywhere, feeding on the dead bodies.
Physician Huang, I beg of you. You must save us!
- Get up! - Save us!
- Master Huang, please save us! - Please!
- Master Huang, save us! - Please save us!
- Please, save us! - Please, Physician Huang!
- Any solution for this? - But the plague came from Northeast.
Why is here in the south?
We must find the source of the plague.
Sickness came from the meals. What have you eaten lately?
What have we eaten?
There were just normal dishes!
Right, I just got my payday recently. And I bought some pork from Rong.
- Be careful with those words. - I ate a piece of Dong Po meat...
...without telling my wife.
Listen, be responsible for your words. Understood?
If that's the case, all of you ate some pork lately?
- Right! We bought it from him! - Me too!
- Is that because of pork? - We all had pork for meals!
- That's right! - It's true!
Huang Fei Hong, what do you mean?
If the meat I sold was from sick pigs...
...why am I still standing here?
Then why are you here?
- What are you doing here? - That's right!
- What are you doing here! - Explain yourself!
- That's none of your business! - What are you doing here?
- Why do you come to Bao Zhi Lin? - Tell us why you are here!
I am in a tight spot here, help me out, please?
Rong, this is not what I meant.
This plague can only be spread via animals.
And everyone ate the pork they bought from you.
So, we can't rule out the chances that your pigs are infected.
Fine, if you said so.
I get the pork from my own pigs. They've never left this city.
Liu Hua Sheng is the one that have left Guangzhou before.
He's been to the Northeast, he might carry the plague with him.
- What exactly happened here? - What should we do now?
What should we do now?
Everyone, calm down.
Everyone of you has a choice you want.
Whatever you vote for, that's what we will do.
Don't get in my way, those are healthy pigs!
- Be careful. - Those are healthy pigs!
You can't burn my pigs!
- What's that? - They are healthy pigs!
- Rong! - Why are you burning them?
I have the order to cut the source of infection.
Rong, I hope you can see this fairly and cooperate with us.
- Otherwise, we will use violence. - You are heartless!
I am cooperating. Look for yourself!
What are these? They are all healthy pigs!
Do they look sick to you?
- Burn it! - Fei Hong said if we don't cut off the source of infection...
...Guangzhou will become the ghost town like the town in Northeast.
Huang Fei Hong said it? Huang Fei Hong said so?
Huang Fei Hong, Mo Gui Lan!
You are having a grudge against me. You're doing this for revenge, right?
Fine, you are now my enemy!
- I warn you, I will be your enemy! - Burn it!
Burn it!
- This is not over! - Burn them!
" Huang's House "
Little Fortune, bad news!
Bad news!
- What's the matter? - I eat nothing...
...but vegetables everyday.
Did my tongue turn green?
Come.
You were keeping reserve?
- I'll make this for you everyday if you like it. - It smells great!
Yes.
Zhi!
What are you eating?
- I wasn't eating pork? - Not eating pork?
If you are not having pork, what are you eating now?
I was eating bell pepper.
You smell like homemade fried meat. Spit them out.
No!
Why are you eating pork? Do you want to die?
Master Huang, he already ate it, just let him be.
No, spit it out.
Run, now! It's alright, Master Huang.
You swallowed it?
I wasn't eating meat!
- Spit it out. - Never.
No, I won't spit it out!
- No, I won't! - Enough!
- Your Highness! - I am eating this!
- Come over here! - Master Huang!
Master Huang!
I will get that meat out of you no matter what!
Help!
" Bao Zhi Lin "
How is he?
Your Highness, feeling uncomfortable?
I don't feel any discomfort. I am fine.
I can eat well and sleep soundly.
I am alright.
This is strange.
He looks healthy and his pulse is stable.
He looks healthy enough. There's no sign of plague on him.
But he did ate a few pieces of pork.
Everyone has their own life and life is in the hand of fate.
What good can a life be without pork? Isn't that right?
Could it be...
...the pork wasn't the source of infection?
Let us through.
Watch out, let us through!
- Watch the road. - What is he doing?
Ladies and gentlemen.
The Rong Butchery is having a grand promotion today!
Free food samples!
Why would anyone eat pork now? Having a death wish?
- That's right. - Mo Gui Lan, Huang Fei Hong.
What are you doing?
I announce on behalf of the authorities that...
...Physician Huang from Bao Zhi Lin has been eating pork for 10 days.
Look at him now, does he look okay to you?
He does look healthy.
Not just the look, I feel strong too!
What do you mean? Changing your mind then and now?
Rong, I killed your pigs to control the epidemic.
I felt sorry for that.
Today, I will eat these pork in front of everyone...
- ...and show that Rong is innocent. - He's going to eat those pork!
How did the plague get on to the pigs?
If it was on the pigs, it should be swine plague!
- That's right! - That make sense.
Rong, how is your pig now? I haven't had any pork for days.
Everyone, calm down. I hid two of the pigs.
I will sell them to everyone in the future, alright?
- Alright! - Rong, this is my deposit.
- Reserve two pig thighs for me. - Sure.
- I want some too! - Please, line up!
Everyone will get it.
- I want! - Alright! Line up please!
- What's wrong? - I might have eaten too much.
My stomach is almost full.
- Stop scaring me. - Please line up!
I am fine.
Your Highness, what are you doing?
- I'm making fireworks. - Fireworks?
- What for? - I made you a promise.
I will marry you.
We will be needing some big and romantic fireworks.
I have to let everyone know, right?
You've been doing this all day. You must be tired.
Here, have some foods.
My head is aching!
