Episode 13
Fan Xian should be here soon.
Don't be anxious. I'm early.
I changed the cup for you.
Without any reasons.
Doesn't seem like an accident.
This place is rather familiar.
You beat Guo Baokun here.
This street holds memories then.
This Cow Pen Street.
Talking about this, you owe me a cow.
I will buy one for you when we are in Danzhou.
I was lucky to have met you in Danzhou.
If not, I wonder when I will be able to see my wife and son again.
I wonder when I would have been able to extinguish my hatred and grudges too.
Fan Xian, thank you.
If you thank me again, I'm going to puke.
Cheng Jushu!
Why are you so flustered?
Cheng Jushu is having a confrontation with someone at Cow Pen Street.
Cheng Jushu from Northern Qi?
He's a Level 8 Master.
Who can confront him?
You are still alive?
You still haven't given me
the cow and land that you promised me.
Why should I die?
Did you apply medication on your sword?
Yes, I did.
That's good.
Leave now.
Didn't you apply the medication?
This Cheng Jushu is a Level Eight Master and have powerful muscles.
It's not easy to topple him.
Let's leave together.
Let's go.
Why the heck are we leaving?
He still didn't die. This rascal's luck is not bad.
Once I'm really furious, I will beat him till he dies.
After I'm gone, take good care of Ruoruo.
Tell Wan'er that tuberculosis is not a terminal disease and
to find someone who's better than me!
What crap! Tell them yourselves!
Teng Zijing!
Lord.
Lord, wake up.
Lord.
Lord, don't move.
Let's check your injury first before you can move.
The colleagues from the Inspection and Control Bureau will be here soon.
Tell him to wake up.
He won't be able to wake up.
Lord.
What did he tell you?
When I arrived, he has already stopped breathing.
Didn't you say you would live for your family?
Didn't you say when you encounter danger, you would leave first?
Why didn't you keep your promises?
He's not dead yet.
Lord.
- Move aside! - Lord!
If he's alive, we can investigate the real mastermind.
We can take revenge for Teng Zijing then.
Who will interrogate him?
The Inspection and Control Bureau.
Help me to send Teng Zijing back to Fan manor.
Yes, Lord.
I will ask for the results tomorrow at Inspection and Control Bureau.
Lord, let me escort you back to Fan manor.
No need!
Regardless of whoever wants to kill me,
I will give him the chance to kill me again!
- Why is he so severely wounded? - Where is he going?
Older Brother, what's wrong with you?
I'm fine.
- I heard about it. - It's already in the past.
Get someone to relay this message to Second Prince.
I met an accident along the way. I fear I won't be able to keep the appointment for today.
Ruoruo, we are not going back to Danzhou anymore.
I fear there's bad news.
Cheng Jushu assassinated Teng Zijing on Cow Pen Street.
What's the result?
Two female assassins died and his guard with him died too.
Is Cheng Jushu still alive?
He was taken away by the members from Inspection and Control Bureau.
They are probably investigating the mastermind who directed this
for daring to take such a bold action in Jingdu.
I'm the biggest suspect.
Your Highness.
I made an appointment with Fan Xian and he encountered an assassin.
Your Highness, please return to the palace now.
This incident...
I fear it will shock Jingdu.
Fortunately, Master Fan is fine.
This doesn't alarm you.
Why do you say that? I don't understand.
You are not alarmed at all upon hearing about the assassination.
Could it be that you knew this would happen?
Your Highness, what are you trying to do?
I'm just speaking randomly. Don't regard it as real.
So how?
Fan Xian realigned his arm on his own.
He didn't call for the physician too.
He's really a man. He did this and it was done.
His mood is currently stable.
He didn't cry or create a scene. I think he should be fine.
Hold him down.
He put it back together. There was none. Look, he's fine now.
What should I eat?
Where's Ruoruo?
I don't know.
He came back alone. I don't know where she is.
Go call your Father.
Cheng Jushu was brought to the Inspection and Control Bureau for interrogation.
Ruoruo has been guarding the entrance of the bureau
to wait for the results of the interrogation.
Who do you think it would be?
Second Prince is the biggest suspect.
Because he made an appointment to meet you at Zuixian Ju
and you needed to pass through Cow Pen Street.
If I die,
everyone will suspect him.
Hence, there's someone else.
I want to know
where the Crown Prince went today and what he did.
It's not for you to ask about the Crown Prince's movements.
We don't know who's the mastermind.
We must not be rash.
I heard about it.
I heard about the horrifying battle.
I have been worried about you.
Teng Zijing
died.
He was your bodyguard.
He wasn't my bodyguard.
He was an idiot.
Tell me about him, okay?
The Inspection and Control Bureau secretly ordered
the killing of the state traitor.
You are from the Inspection and Control Bureau?
Fan Xian, I would like to ask a favor from you.
Please kill me.
Inspection and Control Bureau has a special archived case file.
If you give a part of an unimportant document to me,
I will give my life to you.
Whatever your decision is, I can plot together with you.
No need! I don't need any friends!
Why did you help me?
Help a friend. The waters are deep in Jingdu. It's a good thing for you to leave early.
It will reduce the worries and fears of your family.
- You are not leaving Jingdu? - You are so stupid. If I leave,
I fear you won't be able to survive in Jingdu.
Be a bodyguard then.
It's hard to obey orders. My life is for my family.
As for you, when you encounter danger, should it alone.
As for me...I will turn around and run.
Leave now.
Let's leave together.
Let's leave.
He told me that,
when he encounters danger, he will leave first.
Why did he lie to me?
He gave you the answer earlier.
It's what you just mentioned.
It's what he said today.
If there's no one who's willing to die for you in this world,
life will be uninteresting.
If there's no one who's willing to die for you in this world,
life will be uninteresting.
He was referring to his family.
To him, you are his family too.
Yes.
Who conducted the killing today?
I may be ignorant but I'm not that crazy!
Fan Xian and I get along well.
I don't have any reasons to kill him.
Who do you think it is then?
The murderer is from Northern Qing.
Perhaps, it's a conspiracy from Northern Qi.
The Crown Prince makes sense. It's just that,
I don't quite understand why Northern Qi would want to kill Fan Xian.
Could it be to take revenge to wipe out the humiliation of Guo Baokun?
I will never do this just because of Guo Baokun!
Although I believe the Crown Prince,
it's just that I can't think of why
who would have any grudges with Fan Xian in Jingdu.
Second Brother should know that gossip is a fearful thing.
Do you think killing someone can solve the problem?
Of course not. The problems in the world are chaotic and complex.
Will killing anyone solve the problem?
This is how I feel too.
I think it's possible.
If Fan Xian is a hindrance, kill Fan Xian.
If governors become suspicious, you can kill them.
If Inspection and Control Bureau persistently asks for it, you can kill everyone in that bureau.
If I become suspicious,
you can kill me, too.
Killing people even though can solve the problem,
but that is a delusion of unpardonable evil.
If I have this intention,
I shall be annihilated. - Same goes for me.
Then don't use words to test things!
How can one rule the world when the heart is not generous?
You two are being so bold. Are you testing the limits of our country's law?
You can leave now.
Your Majesty, the Investigation and Control Bureau delivered a secret report.
- Investigation and Control Bureau wants to release Cheng Jushu? - Yes.
- Does Fan Xian know? - He doesn't know yet.
Tell him.
I understand.
Thank you.
I should leave.
Where are you going?
Teng Zijing died because of me.
His wife and son...
still doesn't know about his death.
I should go and tell them.
Miss.
Miss Ruoruo from Fan manor is here.
Invite her in now.
Yes.
Older Brother, Investigation and Control Bureau wants to release Cheng Jushu.
- Lord. - Where's Cheng Jushu?
He's in the prison at Investigation and Control Bureau.
- Did they find out who the mastermind is? - Not yet.
How is this being handled now?
Speak!
They are taking him out from the city.
And then?
He will be released later.
Who made the decision?
The Head of the Bureau is not here.
Arrangements of the matters in Jingdu are handled by Lord Zhu Ge from the First Division.
- Take me to see him. - Lord.
Take me to see him!
Lord, please come with me.
Inspection and Control Bureau has 8 departments, each having its own tasks.
The first department is located at Jingdu, inspecting all courtiers.
This is the most serious place.
Lord Zhuge worked with the head of the bureau for many years.
He is highly ranked and very powerful.
He is very stern and rigid.
Lord, when you meet him later,
you must watch your words and actions.
Lord Zhu.
Old Fei's disciple,
Official Lord Fan Xian of Inspection and Control Bureau seeks an audience with you.
I don't want to see him.
You must be cautious with your words and actions.
Lord.
Lord Zhu.
You are going to release Cheng Jushu?
Out of the eight decision makers at the bureau,
In terms of ability, Fei Jian is in the top three,
but talking about handling tasks, the one I looked down on the most, it's him.
He doesn't differentiate official and personal matters. He does things in haste.
He can't distinguish from primary and secondary matters. He's unable to look at the big picture.
As his student,
don't take after him.
Why are you releasing Cheng Jushu?
Just listen to the order. Don't ask too many questions.
I'm an official from Inspection and Control Bureau!
My position is outside of the eight departments and is on the same level as the department heads.
Is this waist badge a fake?
It's not.
Fine. I'm asking you again.
Why are you releasing Cheng Jushu?
There's an urgent report from the Military Department.
Various military troops in Northern region are being urgently deployed.
War can easily happen.
We have been planning for the war against Northern Qi for a long time.
We must have control when the war begins.
What has this to do with Cheng Jushu?
Cheng Jushu is a master from Northern Qi.
If he dies in Jingdu, I fear there will be gossips.
What if Northern Qi advances its troops,
it'll ruin our country's great plans!
What if?
Just because of a "what if?"
Cheng Jushu has a general who's an old friend in Northern Qi.
This person swore that if Cheng Ju Shu is returned safely,
they will give us
confidential information about the Northern Qi troop formation by the border.
So, this is just a business transaction.
We must keep the big picture in mind!
If it is obtained in exchange for the lives of the weak and helpless, what use is having the big picture?
The law is strict. It's not for your reckless behavior!
One life for another, that has always been the rule!
The person who died is just a bodyguard!
Just a bodyguard?
Lord Zhu, it's written on the stone monument at the door.
"People should be equal".
"There are no differences between a noble and a thief".
This is what the Investigation and Control Bureau is based on!
A bodyguard is also a human. He's the father of a son.
He's the husband of a wife!
He's the only one his family depends on!
The victim's body hasn't even turned cold yet, and the killer is going free!
Where is the state law?
Do heavenly principles still exist?!
This matter has already been decided.
There's no room for further discussions.
Someone!
Here.
Relay my order. Regarding Cheng Jushu,
Under my instructions,
even if someone holds the official waist badge, you must not hand him over too!
Yes.
I have cut off your room for maneuver.
Go back and nurse your wound.
Lord Zhu.
Be at ease.
I'm taking my leave.
Does anyone believe what's written here?
Wang Qinian, let me ask you! Does anyone believe in these words?!
Lord, it's already at this stage.
You have already tried your best.
Brother Fan.
His Highness and I would like to apologize to you.
If His Highness didn't ask to meet you at Zuixian Ju,
you wouldn't have encountered danger.
But please believe this wasn't conducted by His Highness.
Do me a favor then.
Please speak.
Take Cheng Jushu out of the Inspection and Control Bureau and punish him according to the law!
Brother Fan. Even if Cheng Jushu is in the Punishment Department, in the surroundings of the city, Jingdu manor,
there's no way His Highness can kill him.
It's just the Emperor had ordered since long ago that for the Inspection and Control Bureau,
members of the royal family cannot interfere.
Even the crown prince has no right to interfere!
Perhaps, we can reward the bodyguard's family with money
and provide them with sufficient compensation.
What if it was you?
How much money are you willing to trade for his life?
I won't make it hard for you too. Just do this.
Why are you following me?
I'm escorting you to your manor.
What other powers in Jingdu are not controlled by the Inspection and Control Bureau?
There are none. The Imperial Army in the city is under the jurisdiction of the court.
The feudal government office is also very fearful.
Members of the royal family cannot enter.
The court officials all look to protect themselves.
Your waist badge was prohibited today.
Your father is also only a Minister of Revenue.
I thought through it all for you already.
There's nothing you can do.
When will Cheng Jushu leave the Investigation and Control Bureau?
It should be today at noon.
Help me to find out the exact time.
I only have this with me right now. I'll get more for you later.
Lord, please go back to the manor and wait for my news.
Thank you very much.
Lord. For taking other's money to conduct tasks for them,
I don't deserve to be thanked.
Mother, why didn't you sleep?
Why are the candles not blown out yet?
When is Father coming back?
I have been thinking. He treats me well.
I will often call him Father in the future. He loves listening to that.
Fine.
For my good friend who lives in the chest,
I'm going to buy him a candied hawthorn.
If you see your Father, tell him to come home early.
I'm going to buy a candied hawthorn for my good friend who lives in a chest!
About that...Fan Xian,
isn't it unlucky for the coffin to be in the courtyard?
After the task has been completed,
I will take him home.
Complete the task?
What task?
This...why are you wiping your knife?
Older Brother, what can I help you with?
Just guard the house.
I checked. Half an hour later, they will leave from the courtyard of the bureau.
From the South Gate of the city via the Jingdu water route.
Wait for me to return.
Older Brother.
I don't like this.
I couldn't help at all.
If you follow this road and leave through the north gate, there is a small forest before the boat pier.
it's the best way to kill Cheng Jushu.
- The forest outside the city? - Yes, this is the only way.
Think of a way to lure the escorting away first.
Kill Cheng Jushu while no one is around him.
In this case, even if Lord Zhu knows that you did this,
there's no concrete evidence. He won't be able to take you down too.
It's just although Cheng Jushu suffered serious injuries,
he is, after all, a Level Eight Master.
As for you, you haven't recovered from wounds. There's some risk in this.
Lord, this is the way out for the city.
Who says I'm leaving the city?
But there's no one at that little forest.
Why aren't there anyone there?
Thank you for finding the information.
You can stop following me from now, lest you are implicated.
Lord, where are you going to take action?
Lord Zhu said Qing State will keep you safe.
After you get to Northern Qi, don't forget to have your friend do some investigating.
Also, keep quiet when we go out.
Follow us in leaving the city. There will be a boat at the pier to take you back to Northern Qi.
Remember, don't stop when you go out.
If we are discovered, there will be serious trouble. Understand?
Let's go.
What are you looking at?
Lord Zhu already said you can't interfere
with the departure of Cheng Jushu.
I'm not here to interfere.
I'm here to kill him.
Lord Fan, this is the Investigation and Control Bureau.
Someone advised me not to kill you. I'm not happy with this.
When you killed viciously and cruelly in the street, this sin is unforgivable!
I'm going to kill you in front of the public.
Someone wants to make a deal with you.
I won't do that. If you can't be killed by the overall situation, I will do the killing!
Stop Fan Xian.
Come with me. Let's go.
At the previous battle, I was furious, focused and desired to be better.
You are certain to die today.
