Nothing Gold Can Stay
Episode 35
Where is Zhou Ying?
Mr. Zhao.
You're the one who saved us. Thank you.
I came to eliminate the bandits...
...not to save you all.
Congratulations on your victory. -It was a close call.
If Han San Chun didn't surrender...
...I might not be able to win.
Mr. Zhao, repentance is respectable.
Since Han San Chun decided to turn over a new leaf...
...please be merciful...
...and lenient on him. - I know what to do.
Also...
He's haughty for a rank 7 official.
Wang Shi Jun.
What's wrong, Wang Shi Jun? I'm alright. I'm perfectly fine.
Zhou Ying. I told them that you would be alright.
Are you alright? -Zhou Ying.
Madam Ying.
Madam Ying. -These scoundrels...
...had some guts to kidnap my daughter.
Look. They paid dearly for that.
This is the consequence of messing with me.
Wang Shi Jun, I need you to help me to...
...tie up some loose ends.
Sure.
Coachman Song was killed by Niu Shou Wa.
When you go back, give him a grand funeral...
...and compensate his family. -Alright.
Er Hu.
This is Housekeeper Wang. This is my brother, Er Hu.
From now on, he'll stay in the east mansion.
He'll learn from you.
Housekeeper Wang.
When you get back, write a contract immediately.
Let Han San Chun receive 20% of our business profits.
Han San Chun? -Yes.
If Han San Chun and Qian Hong wants to stay in Jingyang...
...help them to find a place.
If they want to go elsewhere, tell them to leave an address.
We'll deliver their dividend to them every year.
Han San Chun probably won't be released so soon.
Take Ms. Qian Hong back. - You still want to leave?
I need to get back on track. - You still want to go to Urumqi?
Why? -You almost lost your life...
...and you still want to go?
Father, weren't you most worried about Sanshou Gang?
Sanshou Gang is gone now. What are you worried about?
You think Sanshou Gang is the only threat?
Wang Shi Jun, help me to pass a message to my father.
Tell him that I am fine and continuing my journey.
You're departing already? -Of course.
The firstcomer gets the business.
Don't forget our bet.
Let's pack up and depart quickly.
Alright. -Chun Xing.
Go back with Wang Shi Jun. - No. I want to stay with you.
What if we run into bandits again?
I still want to stay with you.
Alright. Come with me.
We're departing. Be careful on your way back.
I... I'll go along.
What? It was Han San Chun who killed Niu Shou Wa...
...and Zhao Bai Shi who led a troop over?
I don't know the details.
Send everything Zhao Bai Shi seized...
...including documents to the governor of Xi'an first.
Immediately tell Ying Xian to...
...keep every item related to us and the prince.
These items must not be submitted or shown to others.
Yes.
Guess!
5! -You're guessing 5 too?
5! -Alright. Look.
Young lady, you can sing very well.
I know. This. -What about you?
This. -Who wants to guess first?
I'll go first. This.
Are you sure? -Yes!
What about that one?
Let's stay in this inn tonight.
Boss!
Boss! Anyone?
You all came so late.
You're here too. -I reached long before you.
You all are too slow.
We can't overtake you anyway.
So, we decided to slow down and admire the scenery.
I brought the best Xifeng wine. Interested to taste it?
Sure.
Your face is so dirty. Go in and clean yourself up.
I'll be waiting in the lobby 30 minutes later.
Xing Yi.
Madam Ying, the water is ready. Come and wash your face and hands.
Chun Xing.
Get me a pretty dress.
Alright.
Madam Ying. -Come in.
Madam Ying, I must tell you something.
Go ahead. -Do you remember the...
...incident of Young Master Pin getting beaten up in an alley?
Of course.
Even though we all know that it was Shen Xing Yi who did it...
...he refused to admit it and we couldn't find any evidence.
So, we couldn't redress the injustice for the young master.
But, yesterday, I heard the same voice saying "run".
Come with me! -What's going on?
Run!
Someone is coming! -Run!
Let me.
Come.
Uncle Si, wait for your daughter. -Alright. Let's wait.
You know this trick? Who taught you?
Zhou Ying.
You finally came.
Come here.
Do you remember the first time we drank together?
We had Xifeng wine from Jiqu Town that day.
Back then, you led Tian Shi and Tian Yu...
...to beat Wu Pin at Shaniu Alley.
He only regained consciousness 5 days later.
What are you saying?
You said a word, "run".
"Run".
That's the only word that masked murdered said...
...at the crime scene.
Fu Lai will never forget it.
Yesterday, you said that word again...
...and it sounded exactly the same.
Mr. Shen, do you still plan to deny it?
Yes. It was me.
You finally admitted it. - I did that because...
...he was left unpunished after killing my brother.
That was my only way to seek fairness and justice.
But, Wu Pin survived. -He was lucky.
So, you poisoned him.
I poisoned Wu Pin? -Weren't you the one?
He died in his own home! What does that have to do with me?
The walls of the east mansion never stopped you from entering!
What's going on? Why are you two suddenly quarreling?
Calm down. -Shut up!
I'm your father. -You're his spy!
You're responsible for Wu Pin's death as well!
Why are you blaming me too?
Are you crazy? -Zhou Ying.
Don't you know my feelings for you yet?
You poisoned Wu Pin because you want me.
Yes, I hated Wu Pin!
I wanted him to die and I attempted to kill him!
But, I'm the one who poisoned him to death.
If you can do it one time, you can do it the second time.
If you don't believe my words, at least believe in my character.
I won't refuse to admit my deeds!
The other things you did were just small cases.
You could admit it.
But, Wu Pin's death is a serious thing.
So, you don't dare to admit it.
I'll say it one last time. Yes, I did beat Wu Pin up.
But, I did not kill him with poison. I did not!
Enough. We just need to make things clear.
Drink some wine and calm down.
Come. Calm down.
Young Master Xing Yi! - Young Master Xing Yi!
Young Master Xing Yi, where are you going?
You went overboard.
He gave Wu Pin a severe injury.
Can I act like I know nothing...
...and drink and chat with him?
If he didn't beat Wu Pin and make him fall unconscious...
...you wouldn't get to marry Wu Pin.
What are you saying?
It's true that he gave Wu Pin a serious injury.
But, Wu Pin recovered.
In fact, he saved the life of Wu Pin's wife several times.
If I were Wu Pin, I'll even have to thank him.
Don't forget that he's very likely the one...
...who poisoned Wu Pin.
You can trust me.
Even if Shen Xing Yi wanted to kill Wu Pin...
...he wouldn't use poison.
He would kill him directly.
Sir, this is the statement from Han San Chun.
Did he explain why he tried to kidnap Zhou Ying twice?
It was Niu Shou Wa who encouraged him to do so.
Niu told him that Wu Family of the east mansion...
...and Zhou Ying are very rich because of their business.
How did Sanshou Gang learn about Zhou Ying's whereabouts?
Niu Shou Wa had a secret informer in Jingyang.
This informer gave them basic information about...
...Wu Family of the east mansion and Zhou Ying.
Who is this secret informer?
Han San Chun has never seen him. Niu Shou Wa never told him either.
This secret informer might have a special identity.
He provided information many times prior to this...
...including accurate news on government raids.
So, both Niu Shou Wa and Han San Chun trusted him a lot.
How did this secret informer communicate with Niu Shou Wa?
They had a secret method to deliver letters.
Niu Shou Wa showed Han San Chun a few letters before.
But, there was no signature on them.
Where are these letters?
I checked the evidences we found in Sanshou Gang's base...
...immediately after reading Han San Chun's statement.
But, I didn't see any letter.
Maybe Niu Shou Wa already destroyed them.
According to Han San Chun's statement...
...there seemed to be an internal conflict in the gang.
It seems like...
...Niu Shou Wa wanted to kill Han San Chun...
...in order to earn amnesty...
...for his past misdeeds. -Yes.
That's interesting.
Who is the one who wants to issue amnesty to Niu Shou Wa?
It is said that only Niu Shou Wa and Tu Feng Zi know.
But, Han San Chun killed both of them...
...in a fit of anger.
That woman is so lucky.
Even Sanshou Gang can't hurt her.
No wonder then.
She brought bad luck to Brother Wu Pin...
...and Wu Family of the east mansion.
My father is a victim too.
Yong Mei.
Don't cry.
There'll be a way.
What happened to your hand?
Nothing.
How did you get injured?
Zha Kun accidentally hurt me in a practice.
Have you applied medicine?
It's closed up. I'll recover soon.
It's better to bandage it.
Do you have gauze?
Yes.
I'll help you.
Come.
Done.
Thank you. -I almost forgot.
This is your dividend from Gu Yue Western Textile.
This is a lot.
It'll still increase.
Yong Mei, you don't have to be so nice to me.
This is the way I am.
If you treat me well, I'll treat you well too.
I'm actually...
...not as good as you think.
During my loneliest and most helpless period...
...you helped me without asking for repayment.
When all relatives and friends left me...
...you stayed by my side.
Apafl from my father and mother...
...no one has ever treated me so well.
I... I shall excuse myself.
I'll see you off.
I'll return the handkerchief to you...
...after washing it.
Alright.
You can go back now.
Have a safe trip.
What brought her over?
She came to deliver the dividend for this quarter.
This is a lot.
Zha Kun.
Have you ever thought that...
...we are living in a meaningless way?
Life felt meaningless in the past.
But, ever since we received this share...
...I've found something to look forward to.
It's different now.
But, don't you think we can actually possess...
...other things as well?
Other things?
Boss, what can people like us...
...gain apart from money?
Did you get the things? -Yes.
If Hu Yong Mei learns that I've been making use of her...
...will she still treat me like this?
It's a good thing when one can be made use of.
Just like the two of us.
We wouldn't be alive today if we don't have such value.
You're right.
Burn them all.
Burn them all?
Yes.
Wait.
Is it open?
Boss! 2 catties of beef! -1 minute!
Welcome and have a seat. -Alright.
5 bowls of minced meat noodles? -Alright.
5 bowls of minced meat noodles. -Sure.
5 bowls of minced meat noodles.
The regional exam is around the corner.
Yet, you're still so calm.
It's been so many years. I've failed so many times.
I haven't gotten more intelligent.
But, I became a lot more calmer.
"Change not your countenance...
...regardless of what occurs before you...
...and collect yourself."
You're much better than me...
...when it comes to maintaining composure.
You only see the surface.
Frankly...
...my head is still...
"enthusiastic about entering officialdom.
Alright. I wish you success...
...after many years of hard work. -Hopefully, I will make it.
Brother Ze.
Sister Yi.
This is my sister, Wu Yi. I think you met her before.
She's your sister you always mentioned in the past?
Yes. My sister told me that...
...she must thank you for saving her life that day.
I've wanted to thank you personally.
But, I didn't have a chance to do so.
I heard that you are meeting my brother today.
So, I specially prepared a few dishes.
My sister is a good cook.
Zhao Bai Shi, you're in luck today.
I should be the one thanking Mr. Zhao.
Right. My sister is expressing her gratitude.
I'm the county governor. It's my responsibility to...
...protect the county and the people here. Don't mention it.
Alright. Mr. Zhao. Brother Ze.
Please enjoy. I shall excuse myself.
Alright.
Thank you.
Bai Shi, come try my sister's dishes.
Alright.
Wu Ze, let me ask you a question.
What is the most difficult to understand in this world?
Fate.
Human head.
Human head is unfathomable.
True.
It's not just about others. It's about ourselves too.
One must understand oneself in order to understand others.
Let me ask you another question. What's the most difficult thing...
...in this world?
The regional exam.
To me, it's to remain calm and composed.
One more question.
What is the most contradicting and painful feeling?
It's when you can't help doing something...
...even though you know it's wrong.
Sir.
Sir. Be careful.
My family has been treated unfairly.
Mr. Zhao, please restore justice.
I am aware. I must appeal even if I will be beaten.
If I can't redress the injustice for Wu Family...
...the pain in my head...
...will far exceed the pain of getting spanked.
When Wu Wei Wen put honesty above everything.
When he was discussing about this business, I suggested to...
...replace dragon's blood with leaves of azaleas...
...that has similar efficacy and he scolded me.
Why would he replace dragon's blood with rosin?
"This is when logic battles human desires."
"if it must be stopped, one must resist one's desire."
"One must let reason take over his mind...
...and stop himself bravely."
"Stop himself bravely."
This is the place.
Are you Madam Ying of Wu Family of the east mansion?
Are you Shopkeeper Xu?
I am Xu Ren Jie of Sheng Long Quan.
Greetings, Madam Ying.
Madam Ying, please come in.
Madam '(mg has armed'.!
Ah San. Shi Tou. Unload Madam Ying's luggage.
Alright. -Xiao Liu, serve tea.
Alright. -Madam Ying.
Please go in and get some rest.
Madam Ying, have some tea. -Thank you.
Master informed me of your visit half a month ago.
I thought you would arrive before the 5th of the month.
Something came up during the journey. So, we arrived late.
I'm glad you arrived safely. Madam Ying, what brought...
Wu! Come out!
Are you deaf? Come out!
Wu! If you don't come out...
...I'll break Sheng Long Quan's signboard!
Who is he? -Madam Ying.
I'll go and take a look.
Welcome, Mr. Tu. How may I help you?
Who are you? -I'm Xu Ren Jie...
...shopkeeper of Sheng Long Quan.
Shopkeeper?
You have the audacity to lie to me.
Mr. Tu, what makes you say so?
You sold fake medicine to me.
You must be eager to know...
...how it feels to be dragged by a camel in a desert for 3 days.
Mr. Tu, this must be a mistake.
Firstly, Sheng Long Quan has never sold fake medicine.
Secondly, Sheng Long Quan has never...
...sold any medicine to you.
Half a month ago, you sent your worker...
...to make a deal with us.
The sample and price were good.
But, you delivered fake goods to me.
That's not true. I didn't send anyone to your place.
How can you deny it when I'm standing right before you?
Ah San! Xiao Liu! Da Shi Tou! Come out!
Mr. Tu, these are all of our employees.
Is any of them the one who traded with you?
You all are very sly.
You all must have told your employer to hide.
Mr. Tu, even though Sheng Long Quan...
...is just small business...
...we put reputation above everything else.
You are falsely accusing us. This is unacceptable.
Xu Ren Jie, you cheated my money...
...insulted me...
...and accused me of falsely accusing you.
Believe it or not, I can kill you.
Mr. Tu.
