[Episode 14]
Someone tried to convince me to kill you while no one was around. I didn't want to.
When you killed viciously and cruelly on the street, this crime is unforgivable!
I intend to kill you in public!
Someone wants to do a business transaction with you.
I won't do it!
The big picture won't kill you. I'll kill you!
Stop, Fan Xian. Come with me! Let's go!
Come on!
In the previous battle, I was furious, focused, and desired to be better.
You must die today!
Call for help! Stop, Fan Xian!
In this world, if there isn't anyone who you're willing to die for,
what use is there in living?
I understand. Once you have this person,
only then will you have staked your roots in this world.
- In the public street? - Yes. Following your orders,
a highly skilled person was outside the city to adapt to emergencies for an ambush in the small forest.
- It's just that today... - I will go personally.
Don't come over here!
This is Teng Zijing's knife. You should remember his name!
Big head?
I've been looking for you! You're not living in the box anymore?
Don't come here!
Uncle Fan!
- Don't do anything! - What's wrong with your head?
Don't hurt him! I can let you go!
Stop!
Turn around!
Do you know the Big Head from inside the box?
If you took him as a hostage, perhaps you would have had a chance.
Ever since I was born, anyone who saw my face
was afraid; was disgusted.
They either begged me to kill
or backed far away from me.
The only one to have given me fruit to eat
was him alone.
Yes, he eats as quickly as a child!
That's right, Uncle Fan! Did you see my father?
Arrest him!
Walk forward! Don't turn around!
Keep going. Go home.
Keep going!
Do you know what you've done?
Acted on behalf of the heavens!
Ignorant brat, you ruined my plan!
What a fiery temper. Why don't you go eat some bitter melon?
The biggest taboo in the Inspection and Control Bureau
is to disobey a superior's orders!
I'm a head. We are at an equal level.
Not anymore!
What are you doing? Teacher gave that to me!
If Fei Jie were here, I would also break him who can't distinguish primary and secondary matters.
Fine, Lord Zhu.
You're being so arrogant. You want to rule the entire bureau now?
Fan Xian, your future was completely ruined today!
Why don't I apologize?
Take him to the prison!
How's the food in prison?
I don't like eating spicy food. I need soup every day!
Cheng Jushu was really killed?
Indeed, he was killed. The killer was captured by the Inspection and Control Bureau.
How was he killed?
Young Master Fan was a little too arrogant.
He didn't even bother waiting for him to leave the city.
Directly in front of the Inspection and Control Bureau,
in front of the public eye, he killed Cheng Jushu!
Who knows how many people saw it?
What a bloody young man.
It seems like this news cannot be suppressed!
He's not only bloody.
Even more so, he correctly appraised the situation.
He openly killed someone on the street.
It's also known as "correctly appraised the situation"?
This murder... was done well!
Take my order.
- Lord Zhu. - Lord Zhu!
What are you doing? Does the Third Division intend to rebel?
How would we dare? Before he left, Old Fei asked us
to carefully protect Young Master Fan.
Fei Jie isn't in Jingdu.
Old Fei is not here. Isn't the Third Division his pawn, too?
Young Master Fan, don't worry. You're Old Fei's heir.
We are all your senior brothers!
We're here. Don't be afraid.
Hello, Senior Brothers!
- Hello, Junior Brother! - Hello, Junior Brother!
- You are indeed a handsome lad. - Enough!
Your temporary leader has the surname Leng, right? Call him here.
My Lord, it's unfortunate!
Senior Brother Leng was practicing a new poison the other day.
He took two himself and, now, he's still lying in bed!
But Senior Brother also wants to protect Young Master Fan.
He tested the poison on himself?
Let me tell you, this is the Third Division's tradition!
Senior Brother also followed Old Fei closely. He's our eldest senior brother!
- Then I must meet him! - Of course.
However, the poisoning was a bit serious.
He won't be up for at least a month. You must wait.
- Eldest Senior Brother is amazing! - Of course–
Let me ask you all.
How do you intend to protect him?
My Lord, no matter what he did wrong,
he doesn't need to enter the underground prison. Right?
All right.
Right now, I want to personally escort him to prison,
to obstruct him from dealing with conspiracies.
Conspiracies cause disasters!
Who is he trying to scare?
- Move aside! - Prepare the medicine!
Please wait!
- It's a small matter. I'll deal with it. - You're sure?
Trust me.
Fei Jie isn't in Jingdu. The Third Division has no leader. They can't do anything.
I already owe a debt of gratitude.
Fan Xian, you ruined my plan.
No one can save you today.
When you killed Cheng Jushu, did you think of this moment?
Lord Zhu, please wait!
What? Does even a secretary dare to block me?
You misunderstand.
No matter what, I wouldn't dare to block your path!
- Move aside. - Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
I'll demote you!
My Lord, Lord Fan earned merit for the Qing State!
Have you gone crazy?
My Lord, which Northern Qi general mentioned
using Cheng Jushu to exchange for their confidential military information?
Is this a question you should be asking?
My Lord, please look!
What is this?
Cheng Jushu's life from the archive of the Inspection and Control Bureau.
What are you trying to say?
I looked over it carefully!
Cheng Jushu is a loner and unsociable.
He has no good friends in the military!
Even more so, everyone from the Northern Qi troops on the frontier
have poor perceptions of him. Whatever they thought of him, they were grudges and hatreds.
Since it's like this,
how would someone offer to use their confidential military information
to exchange for Cheng Jushu's life?
Saving Cheng Jushu was fake.
Giving you fake information was real!
Lord Fan is intelligent! That is what I think, too!
The other side wanted to use this chance to give fake information to us.
Once war breaks out, this fake information
will become the reason why we lose!
This way, Lord Fan killing Cheng Jushu,
not only is not a fault, but instead is a merit!
Lord Zhu, did you hear that?
Lord Zhu, look upon the fact that Lord Fan just accidentally happened to
make a mistake and created trouble.
Just punish him lightly, okay?
Wang Sinian, in order to save him, you are trying all means.
You are being too serious. I am just speaking the truth.
Do you think that only you can see these things?
A country's fate is no small matter!
Would I not fully investigate Cheng Jushu's past?
- Uh... - Let me ask you again.
Why did I want to use Cheng Jushu to exchange for fake information, tell me?
Did you... purposely decide to fall for the trap,
and let the other side think that we had been tricked?
At that time, the trap that our enemy planned would become evident.
Defeating our enemies is within an instance, yet Fan Xian killed Cheng Jushu.
Don't you think he ruined my plan?
HeHe-He... His actions were still understandable!
When did the Inspection and Control Bureau begin acting on emotions?
Fan Xian, guess again!
Who else will come to save you?
I have such good luck in meeting people. I don't know.
The head isn't in the capital. No one can save you.
- Take him away! - Wait!
Wait!
Yan Ruohai?
[Yan Ruohai: Head of Fourth Division of Southern Qing's Inspection and Control Bureau]
I guessed many people, but I only didn't guess it would be you!
Who is this uncle?
You don't know him?
The Bureau has eight divisions. This is the head of the Fourth Division!
He is in charge of the officials outside of the capital.
Head of Secret Investigation, Lord Yan Ruohai.
Yan Ruohai... that name sounds familiar.
- I'm sending someone off. - The one in the horse carriage?
Yan Ruohai's son, Yan Bingyun.
Such a talented man. They would send him into enemy territory?
- This was all for you. - Because of me?
Teng Zijing is a spy from the Fourth Division. Someone from the Fourth Division
tried to kill one of their own!
Yan Ruohai must take responsibility for this.
Teng Zijing is a subordinate of his son, Yan Bingyun.
In his anger, the head fired him.
The Fourth Division is in charge of undercover investigations.
The Sixth Division is in charge of assassinations.
That person's hand didn't reach all the way to the Sixth Division.
That's why a spy from the Fourth Division made a move.
If someone from the Sixth Division really went, that would be troublesome.
So there were so many things behind this?
My son was demoted out of the capital because of you.
You are Yan Bingyun's father?
Let him go.
Bingyun is hidden in Northern Qi. His life or death is unknown, all because of this person!
I know.
Then, you still want to save him?
I'm just sending a message.
The head isn't in the capital! Whose message are you sending?
An order from the emperor.
You intend to accept it while standing?
Your servant heeds your order!
Lord Wang, what's going on?
- Hurry and kneel! - I can't, Lord Zhu tied me up!
- Lord Zhu– - Shut up!
Forget it. I'm not going to bother reciting it. You look at it yourself.
The meaning is simple. Let Fan Xian go.
Your servant accepts your order.
Men, let him go.
Give the token back to him.
You can go now.
Thank you, Lord Yan.
My son's matter aside, with your lackadaisical attitude,
I don't like it at all.
Even if I saved you, I still don't like you.
So don't thank me. Go on.
Lord Wang! See me off!
I'm on the same level as him!
Then... My Lords, I will kick Lord Fan out!
Let's go!
Lord Zhu, see you later!
Lord Zhu!
Young Lord Fan, tell me secretly!
How did you become friends with Lord Yan?
I don't know him.
Then... you know the emperor?
What do you think?
I don't understand.
You killed right in front of the Bureau.
Yet, the emperor ordered to let you go free. Why?
Because I killed openly on the street.
W-What?
If I killed Cheng Jushu secretly, I'd definitely be punished.
But if I killed openly, then I'd be safe.
What logic is that?
Four characters.
Gossip is a fearful thing. This is the basic reason why His Majesty released him.
News of yesterday's assassination attempt has spread all over the capital.
Today, Fan Xian openly killed Cheng Jushu.
Everyone knows he's getting revenge.
So what?
Cheng Jushu is a master in Northern Qi.
Lord Zhu, we are the strongest country in the world.
Our people have always been proud.
Now an intelligent man from our country killed a master fighter from Northern Qi.
Isn't this considered an approved story passed on among the common people?
If we imprison Fan Xian, what will the people think?
But Fan Xian... still messed up the law.
War is approaching. The people are expecting this.
What the emperor protects is not Fan Xian,
but rather the pride and the unyielding will to win
of the people in this country.
So that's how it is!
So you openly killed Cheng Jushu on purpose!
Killing Cheng Jushu is to resolve my anger and something which I find hard to let go.
I only thought of this logic afterward.
That means you are watched over by the heavens!
All that you do is the will of the heavens. Nothing you do will fail!
Old Wang, do me one more favor.
Isn't that person dead?
I still haven't found the person giving orders. This matter isn't finished yet.
But Cheng Jushu is dead.
- There were two female assassins, too. - They're also dead.
That's not the important part. Investigate their background.
My Lord... this is confidential. I don't have the power to–
Fine. For justice and rationality,
I will do my best!
[Jingdu]
Fan Xian was very aware.
The mastermind was exceptionally adept at trickery in the assassination on the street that day.
This was just the beginning.
The path to the future is going to be extremely bloody.
Uncle! Uncle! Why have you come?
Uncle, how is the Big Head in the box?
Why were you fighting with him?
Where did you see him before?
In a villa!
He was still in a box at that time!
Do you still remember where that was?
I remember!
Tell me, okay?
It was in the stable next to the big tree in the street.
Uncle! Uncle! I'll take you to see my mother!
Mother! Mother! Uncle has come! Uncle has come!
Open the door!
Go and play.
Come in to talk.
The child said he saw you fighting with someone on the street.
That person was Cheng Jushu.
A Level 8 Master from Northern Qi. He was hurt and had trouble moving.
Or else, I would be no match for him.
I-I... killed him immediately.
I didn't let the child see bloodshed.
I...
I killed him because...
Yesterday afternoon... Zijing was traveling with me.
In Cow Pen Street, we encountered...
an assassination attempt.
I lit this lamp last night.
After deciding to stay in Jingdu,
he told me one thing.
I don't want to stay inside the city. I will come home every night.
Remember to leave a lamp lit for me.
If you don't come back, the light won't be put out.
Lord Fan is surrounded by danger in Jingdu.
When I'm with him, it's hard to measure blessings and disasters.
Perhaps one day... this lamp won't see me.
Lord Fan... how is he?
Zijing...
died in battle.
- Sister-in-Law! - Don't touch me!
Where is his body?
It's outside the door.
If not for me... he wouldn't have died.
I owe him my life.
I once asked him why he wanted to stay, knowing it would be dangerous.
He told me...
He knew it was dangerous and he had thought about leaving.
But Young Master Fan was sincere to me, and treated me as a friend.
I'm staying
not to repay that favor, and not to protect my master.
I never said it,
but I treated you as a close confidante.
You are younger than me, so I think of you as a little brother.
Since it's like this, how can I leave you alone in the capital
to face hidden battles and scheming hearts?
I'm staying out of my own free will.
Even in the most dangerous places, toughest trials, and in life and death when the soul has vanished.
Fan Xian, I'm leaving them to you.
Young Master Fan.
This... is why he stayed behind.
You don't owe him anything. He chose this path.
Why don't you move into the city with the child?
From now on... I'll treat him as a nephew.
There's no need.
I understand.
You want to stay outside the city. That's fine.
I'll have someone check in on you periodically.
That's unnecessary.
In the future,
you shouldn't come very often.
Young Master Fan,
I trust your sincerity.
It's just I don't want his only son
to one day
never return again as well.
Young Master Fan, he was willing to give up his life for you.
I am a woman.
I fail to see the bigger issues.
My heart is unwilling. It's hard to hide my resentments.
Please be understanding.
I understand.
Before your hair turns white...
you have to be separated forever.
Even if you hate me,
that is only right.
Then...
I... will take my leave!
Wang Qinian.
Lord, I was about to look for you.
I need you to help me with something.
You probably have some contacts in Jingdu.
Hire a few people for me
to secretly take care of the Teng family's mother and son.
Don't let them find out I'm behind this.
Lord, don't worry.
Why are you looking for me? Did you find the assassins?
I secretly read the secret report of the First Division.
Those two female assassins were students of Si Gujian from Dongyi.
Grandmaster wants to kill me?
Lord Fan, you are worrying too much.
The Four Grandmasters are very extraordinary and refined people.
Si Gujian, just by himself and his sword,
he can protect the whole city of Dongyi.
How elegant and stylish.
If he wanted to kill you, he wouldn't use this kind of sneaky assassination attempt.
So to say, the mastermind between those female assassins must be another conspirator.
Who could it be?
This is hard to guess.
A few assassins are dead.
We don't even know where their temporary lodgings are.
There aren't any clues at all.
I know where they are staying.
How would you know?
Where did you meet him?
At a courtyard. He was living in a chest.
Do you still remember where the place is?
We fought before.
This mark looks rather familiar.
Where did you see it?
Let me think.
By the way, a spy in Northern Qi from the Inspection and Control Bureau
sent a secret report.
I took a glance. This mark was on it.
What does this mark mean?
I didn't look at it in detail.
Where's the secret report now?
It should be with Lord Zhu.
- Zhu Ge? - Yes.
But I fear he won't give it to you.
I'm going to steal it.
Let me steal it instead.
I'm more familiar with the situation in the Bureau.
Have you thought of the consequences if you are caught?
Lord, trading in books and selling maps, these are illegal activities in the first place.
I'm also going to find out the identities of the female assassins for you.
I'm already an experienced old hand in doing this kind of task.
- I will go with you. - Lord, I appreciate your kindness.
Frankly, the Bureau is also investigating the assassination.
What else do you want to tell me?
When I went to investigate the identities of the female assassins today,
there was another clue in the document.
The crossbows that the female assassins used were from the military supplies.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
No. I was thinking that...
the collusion between the spy from Northern Qi and the military is already a serious matter.
I was afraid to involve you and create more troubles.
Why are you now telling me this then?
You just said you were going to steal Lord Zhu's secret report.
Would I still care about this?
Did they find out which division the ordnance was from?
It wasn't written in the document.
People from the First Division should be investigating this now.
This means there's no positive outcome yet.
Frankly, I understand some of the basics.
Tell me then!
This patrol division lost a batch of crossbows in the past.
I think the items that the female assassins used should be these.
How did you know about this again?
The Inspection and Control Bureau investigated the Office of the Military.
General Can came to find me in the past.
He wanted this matter to be concealed.
I helped him.
No wonder you didn't tell the Bureau that you accepted money.
Of course, I should accept.
It's for family expenses.
If you didn't do a lot of this,
he wouldn't have looked for you.
These are words right from my heart. I'm willing to do good and love justice.
I have a reputation for this.
Don't ramble on and on!
Based on what you said, there's a problem with General Can.
Lord, let's do this.
I'm going back to the Bureau to steal the secret report
and check the reason for this.
Lord, you can go to General Can's manor
and check if there are any clues.
Give me the address.
[Chen]
[Secret report from the First Division]
This is it.
Lord Zhu.
What is your explanation?
Lord Zhu, you have been toiling hard at the Bureau.
I admire and respect you.
I couldn't vent out my utmost homage to you.
Hence, I came to clean your room.
These words are from the bottom of my heart.
So to say, stealing the document of the case of the assassins in Cow Pen Street during the day
is also from the bottom of your heart.
- Lord, you already knew? - Take him down!
I will leave first!
This dodging skill is very accomplished and great.
Get rid of the documents in Wang Qinian's office. Search the entire city!
Yes!
I was discovered by Lord Zhu.
The entire First Division is coming after me.
Enough. Don't panic!
I have the official waist badge. No one can arrest you.
What's going on?
Everyone in General Can's manor committed suicide by hanging themselves.
The entire manor?
No one was spared.
This doesn't seem right.
If General Can colluded with enemies from another state,
why would his subordinates commit suicide with him?
There was a guest at the study just now. He's missing now.
I'm full of regrets. If I had told General Can earlier,
perhaps I could have saved their lives.
It will be the same even if you had told him earlier.
The other party wanted me to be here later. Moreover, it's by a near miss.
This is a warning and also a threat.
