Xiaoyi.
The front part is magnificent while the back is rotten to the core.
This is Pingkang Street.
This is Chang'an.
You should visit the brothel to find information about a whoremonger.
Why did we come to this filthy place?
They roll in the mud while you sit in the temple
because you were born into a better family.
We are yet to be sure who the filthier party here is.
Do you have a grudge against the temple?
Xiaoyi, walk faster.
Give way, please.
- Xiaoyi! - Xiaoyi.
- Sir Yi, come and have a seat. - Don't go, Sir.
Officer, come and have a drink.
Don't worry. I'm not here today to check on you.
Who is it? Who has the nerve to cause trouble here?
Come over here!
Leader Zhang.
Are you working here now?
I want to meet your banker.
Yes.
Is he your spy, too?
From now on, be careful when you speak.
A careless comment can lead to the loss of many lives.

[The Longest Day in Chang'an]
[Episode 6]
This is another Chang'an.
The place without justice and without law.
Those who can survive here are all villains.
Even the officials can't penetrate this place.
For the majority, this place is the Hell Realm.
Why are you looking so nervous?
Who is the person that we are going to meet later?
The people here call him Ge Lao.
He was sold into Chang'an during the 705's era. (T/N: from 705 CE "common era")
At first, he worked as a slave in Vice Minister Ge's manor.
Then, he was sold to a brothel as a slave.
He was a Kunlun slave. [During the Tang Dynasty, Kunlun was a generic term for people from Africa, southeast Asia, and India.]
What's so scary about a Kunlun slave? All the Kunlun slaves in Chang'an
are honest and docile. If you want him--
Even if you want him dead, he won't protest.
Is it something to be proud of to ask a person...
to die without any reason?
Not everybody's life is the same.
I won. Give me the money.
Again.
This is Chang'an.
Ge Lao is different from other Kunlun slaves.
He is an expert in guessing others' thoughts.
He knows what you want and what are you afraid of.
We are here.
He stayed in the brothel for two years.
Somehow he managed to make his master give him immunity and set him free from slavery.
From then on, he built this Chang'an underworld.
All the ladies in Pingkang Street are his eyes and ears.
He knows every dark secret that lurks in the city of Chang'an.
He's just an informant.
He sells the information and I buy it.
We just need to pay. What's so scary about it?
He doesn't want money.
He always asks for the most important thing of yours.
He's here.
Ge Lao, how are you?
A dead man is not welcome here.
Zhang Xiaojing is not dead yet.
I crashed your casino in front.
I'm in a hurry today, so I have nothing with which to compensate you.
I can only compensate you with an apology. All right.
This is very rare. An apology from the King of Hell is very expensive.
Give it to me straight.
What do you want from me?
I want to find a person's whereabouts.
He is an outsider named Long Bo.
I want to know from which shop he got this
and which ladies he's usually close to.
I need to find those ladies at once in order to locate him.
Name me a price.
Go investigate.
Give him a moment.
I'll give you the information you want.
You haven't told me the price yet.
Commander Zhang,
are you pressing for time?
Everything is ready.
We managed to get here on time. This is good.
We had been galloping here all the way from Yanzhou.
Look at these horses. They are exhausted.
Find a place to unload the goods quickly so that they can rest.
I think you are the one looking forward to the rest.
Of course.
After they check the goods and you get the receipt,
we'll find a good bathhouse to soak ourselves in and relax our tense bodies.
After that, I have to go to the Western District
to buy some souvenirs for my wife.
And then, we'll prepare a pot of high-quality energy drinks,
find an elevated place, and drink while we enjoy the lantern festival.
Then, this will be a perfect day.
You and your perfect day. All right. Let's unload the goods first.
Sure.
- Su Transport? - Yes.
- Excuse me— - Welcome.
All right. Come in, everyone.
Mister, luckily, I have completed this task.
None of the goods are missing, and we are on time as well.
We managed to get them here even though its the Lantern Festival.
The compound is small.
Please park your carriages close to each other.
Don't worry. Transport is the basic skill of Su Transport.
Nothing will go wrong.
This mint leaf is a top-quality leaf from Jianghuai.
How should I address you?
- Long Bo. - Your family name is Long?
Yes.
Did you encounter any trouble when you came into the city?
Su Transport is in operation all year long.
We are very close with the customs here,
so we cleared the customs in record time.
We declared our goods in the morning, and we were cleared within four hours.
All the documents are here.
Nothing is amiss.
Did they check the goods?
Unless you are of noble-ranking, it can't be avoided.
But we kept an eye on them during the whole process.
They checked two of the containers, poked them with spears and resealed them.
By the way, the things that you asked for are not illegal or controlled goods.
What kind of problems would there be?
Finally, the soul of
the Flaming Demon is here.
What soul?
I got the information.
This Token of Gratitude belongs to the Zhao troops of the Base Quarter.
Long Bo went there for the first time half a year ago.
He went there every ten days.
And he always looked for the same woman, Tong'er.
Does he bring her out or does he stay?
Long Bo has a skeleton in his closet.
He wouldn't dare stay at her house.
Where is Tong'er now?
She found true love, and she ran away with a scholar yesterday.
Ge Lao, nothing can escape you.
Mister.
Mister, do you want to have a bath?
[Ah Zhi, Prostitute]
Have you applied the medicinal cream today?
I won't be able to get well.
You should get your face cured quickly.
I still need you to pry the secrets from high-ranking clients.
You hate the court.
Don't you hate it?
No. Chang'an has given me glory.
But you are still not satisfied.
Where is Tong'er?
♪ Hear the cries of the flute ♪
♪ Qin’er woke from her dream ♪
♪ and saw the bright moon atop her manor ♪
Shut up!
♪ The moon atop the manor ♪
Let go of Mister Qin. It was all my idea.
Is this yours?
Listen to him. It might be beneficial to you.
On the second petal at the top left of the lotus,
if there are two nail markings, then it's mine.
Did you give it to a man named Long Bo?
He is a client.
You are the one in my heart.
Where did he take you?
Do you mind that he did?
I don't.
Should I tell him?
This is as far as the free information goes.
Now, it's time for me to negotiate with Commander Zhang.
What do you want?
You are a dead man, but you came here to get information from a lowly woman about a whoremonger.
It means that this person is very important.
You should exchange this information with something valuable.
What do you want?
Name.
Brothers, be careful with the goods.
Be deft.
- Is it burning hot yet? - It is!
Keep your eyes open.
- Unload the goods! - All right!
What kind of business are you in?
- We'll depart in two hours. - We understand!
Two hours is too long. The authorities will be here.
They won't be able to come here.
You don't know Chang'an very well.
- Stop right there! - Stop right there!
According to the 312 Act of the Tang Code,
those who attack an officer on duty will be jailed for one year.
It'll be considered as an attack if you touch them,
and you'll have to go to jail for a year.
When is Right Counselor going to see me?
Right Counselor wants you to wait.
I can wait but the people of Chang'an can't.
Right Counselor wants you to wait.
For how long?
I don't know.
The late noon has passed!
It's going to be one o'clock soon.
One hour has passed.
How's the investigation of the Wolven Squad?
Where is Chief Li?
- How did the investigation go? - Energetic people...
- Too ill-tempered. - Useless bunch!
How did the investigation go?
Good for nothing! Such a useless bunch!
Your supervisor is not here. This is the offense of misconduct of duty!
She's here, giving out commands from the safe house.
Why didn't you kneel?
Come and have a seat to calm yourself.
Good for nothing. Such a useless bunch.
You can't even find a clue.
Move aside.
- Move aside! - No!
- Who are you? - Chief Li's servant.
- Kneel. - This is Chief Li's order.
This is the core of the Peacekeeper Corps.
In order to prevent leakage of secret information,
outsiders are not allowed to enter.
Chief Li is just doing his duty.
You are going against a superior!
I can sell you away.
Kneel.
Tell your master
that he still has one hour remaining.
If he still has no clue, he has to give up his power.
It's just a name.
Tell me and we can save your time and mine.
What name?
I've been left to rot in a death cell for half a year.
I no longer have anybody who works for me here.
A tiger retains it's might even if it's dead!
Your people still remember you,
or else they wouldn't dare to stay here
to leak out my secrets to Wannian County.
Are you asking Commander Zhang to betray the government's spy?
You think too much.
Do you know the duty of a spy?
They are in constant worry about their identity being leaked out
and thus risking their lives and their family's lives.
Unless they really trust their superior,
why would anyone be willing to be a spy?
You have put a lot of spies here.
I'll give you the lead you want.
You just need to tell me one name.
It's a great bargain.
It's me.
Are you well, Captain Zhang?
- Yes. - Good then.
Are you satisfied now?
Are you satisfied now!
No.
He did it willingly.
It doesn't count.
I want you to tell me a name.
Let's go.
If you go back, his death will be a waste!
Kill Tong'er now!
Somebody is trying to take her from me.
I've guessed correctly.
I won't be satisfied with just the name of a useless person.
I want that man.
He Village.
I don't understand.
I used to have the most famous girl in Pingkang Street.
She had tamed a man previously.
That man had the key to the storage room
at Guo Lishi's private manor.
He spent two years
removing valuables and gold instruments from that room.
And then, he buried them one by one in a secret place.
You are making up a story.
Only royalty can use gold instruments.
General Guo Lishi has always been loyal to His Majesty.
He never overstepped his authority or was involved in corruption.
Where did the gold come from?
These 1,356 gold instruments
represent the best workmanship of the Great Tang.
They are the most beautiful things in the world.
If I can get my hands on them,
I'll control one of Guo Lishi's weaknesses.
Can you understand how much I want that?
Half a year ago, this man felt that he'd saved enough
to flee to a faraway place with my girl.
They ran the whole night toward the place where he buried the treasures.
But that man had only mentioned He Village.
Two words. (Actually three words: He Jia Cun, which means He Village)
But there is no such village around Chang'an.
So, I sent twelve of my best men to secretly follow them.
But they were all taken out by one person during the journey,
including my best girl and that robber boy of hers.
I've waited two years for nothing!
Do you know that feeling of losing your most important hope?
I know.
I want to know who that person is! Name!
It's not my man.
Then we are done talking.
You can leave now.
He Village is my case!
As long as you tell me his name, I'll kill him myself.
Brother, I'll drink with you again in the underworld.
I'll listen to your story and
be your spy in the next life.
Zhang Xiaojing, it's against law to betray a spy.
You'll be decapitated. Don't drag me down.
There's nothing more important than millions of lives in Chang'an today!
You can't break the law!
If we don't find any clues within the next hour, nobody will be able to save Chang'an!
- Zhang Xiaojing! - I don't care about the useless rules!
Name!
Don't make the wrong choice.
Xiaoyi!
Yes.
It's him.
Give it back to me.
This is the first gold piece that I earned in Chang'an.
I don't have a son.
I have a father.
He died during a battle in Longyou Street in Shicheng County.
Thank you for taking care of me.
You are a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I want you to give up soon.
Is that so? You want me to give up and be a slave again?
I want to take care of you into your old age.
It's too tiring for you to continue your battle in this place when you are old.
You wouldn't understand.
People who have to fend for themselves won't get old.
A sleuth-hound of Wannian County, Lin Xiaoyi.
Greetings, Captain Zhang.
Are you satisfied with my work so far?
Yes, I am.
Please grant me my blessing.
I've already given you the name you want.
What a waste.
If he were in my hands, he would suffer for at least three days before he died.
It's your turn.
I've never seen a person who doesn't arouse any suspicion by nature.
He is a genius.
He's still so young.
If he grew to your age,
I might have feared him a lot. He would have been stronger than you.
He doesn't have the chance now.
To make such a good man loyal to you,
how did you do it? Teach me.
Make him respect you.
Make him trust you.
Make him think that he can be a good person like you, too.
A good person?
Are you a good person?
I was never a good person.
As long as I can finish my task, I can be anybody.
You can tell me now.
Ge Lao, make her talk.
I regret that the price I asked for was too low.
Can you see?
Xiaoyi's eyes are so big and round.
So innocent and pure.
This is the reason he managed to fool me.
What else do you want!
I want Xiaoyi's eyes as souvenirs.
Take them out for me.
What do you actually want?
I love to see people make choices.
In Chang'an, nobody thinks that they are a bad person.
If one has to make a choice,
will he protect his most precious thing or be a good person?
You can always see interesting results.
I've seen it for many years.
Nothing ever surprises me. Same goes for you.
Don't touch her!
Kunlun scum.
Useless man!
It's your turn to make a choice.
Do you want your statement or his eyes?
Zhang Xiaojing,
he has given his life for you.
Even if you take out his eyes,
it will still be an honor to him.
Don't hesitate.
Do it.
This is in exchange for Xiaoyi's body as a whole.
So unfortunate.
I heard that the King of Hell was extremely conceited
and was as ruthless as the demon itself.
And that's how you frighten the bad people and achieve greatness.
But today, you were under my thumb every step of the way.
I'm very disappointed.
Zhang Xiaojing, even if you can only live for a day,
I hope that you'll live as you were, without a care in the world.
Tell me.
I will fulfill any of your requests now.
Even getting you out of Chang'an won't be a problem.
Make her speak.
Don't regret it.
I don't always listen to Ge Lao's orders,
and you can't force me either.
I see a very exhausted man.
Where did Long Bo take you?
I also see a person who looks very fierce
but actually has a soft heart.
He wants to bawl his eyes out. But he looks like—
Where did Long Bo take you?
Let me sing you a song.
This song was sung by the person you are seeking.
But I can only sing it to you alone.
Please send the rest away, Ge Lao.
Is it painful?
You came directly to us after you entered the city, right?
Of course. We can't make our customers wait.
Does anybody in Chang'an know that you are here?
No. After we unload the goods and get the rest of the payment,
it concludes this transaction with the middleman.
Continue with your work. We'll go back now. We keep our clients' secrets.
Let's go, Brothers!

He used counterfeit money
to fool those old men and old ladies who couldn't tell the difference
and had profited more than tenfold from the little money he spent.
In the end, he went to some other family to kidnap their daughter.
This is not the worst part.
The worst part is that he resisted arrest.
Xiaoyi, last night [Kang Youguo, Sleuth-Hound]
he pushed me against the wall with a huge carriage.
But I can't embarrass our leader, right?
So, I shot him with my crossbow with four bolts.
By the way, Xiaoyi,
after you tinkered with this crossbow, it became so powerful.
Just now, you said that there were two bolts.
It doesn't matter if it's two or four bolts.
They are almost the same.
This is quite an expertise of yours.
Whenever you tinker with a weapon,
it becomes a much more powerful weapon.
Teach me how to do it when you have time.
Here.
Remove the scope first and tighten the latch two inches.
- That's it? - That's it.
But I can only do that for superb shooters like you.
Normal people can't shoot accurately without the scope.
Do you know what our leader did in the past?
He was an archer with Anxi County's Dauntless Army.
We are taught by him. Of course, our accuracy has to be good.
Am I right, Leader?
Enough. Go back now.
Clean up your face and your clothes.
Don't make your parents worry.
Besides, camel milk from An Luo Yue's house in Eastern District is very nourishing.
Buy some and bring it back to your parents.
But it's not suitable for you because it's heaty.(T/N: a term used for foods that can cause internal heat with symptoms of inflammation of nasal and oral cavities)
Leader, tell me.
You have paid us from your monthly salaries.
How are you going to solve a case if you are starved?
Get lost. Don't let me see your ugly face here.
Do you have a new case, Leader?
None of your business.
Leader.
The underworld of Pingkang Street?
Leader, are you going to meet Ge Lao?
There's too much blood on Ge Lao's hands.
I've been patient for many years, but our head won't let us take him on.
And we don't know his background.
I have a lead this time.
The lost gold instruments are related to Ge Lao.
The owner of the missing goods must be a powerful man.
They belong to Tan Tongshou. He's adamant that we get them back.
Leader, who are you going to send there this time as a spy?
- Do you have a candidate? - I can do it. - I'll do it.
How is that possible? You have been spying on Ge Lao for many years.
He will be able to recognize you even if you turn into ashes.
- I have my way. - No.
Leader, it's better if I go.
I've been a spy before.
You call that spying?
That's right.
Who do you think I am?
Let me tell you who I think you are. Come here.
You can only do it because you have a lot of facial hair.
It's like a new face every time you shave off your beard.
- So? - This is in our inborn nature.
- You are such a lady. - You are the lady.
I'm still the most suitable one.
- Xiaoyi! - Xiaoyi.
Why did you hurt yourself?
Leader, I want to go.
I'm a newbie. They don't know my face.
Look, I've been hurt by the sleuth-hound of Chang'an.
I have a grudge against you.
I'll go to Ge Lao to become a servant in his brothel.
I promise that I can get close to him within half a month.
Stupid man! I'm going to beat you to death!
- Leader! - Leader!
Did your parents raise you up so that you could waste your life like this?
- Move aside! All of you! - Leader!
I'm going to beat you to death!
