Episode 5
Your case files were all take away by the Inspection and Control Center.
The only thing that's left
is this wanted notice.
Your crime was written on it.
You were accused of the assassination of an important official.
It's so strange that
the Inspection and Control center would
take you. And why would you come to find me?
To do your old business?
-You have the pass of the prosecutor of the Inspection and Control Center? -Yes.
-Are you going to the Inspection and Control Center? -I will.
What do you mean?
There are case files stored in the Inspection and Control Center.
If you give me one of the unimportant case files,
my life will be yours.
From now on, I will be your servant.
You will control my life and death.
I don't want to.
If it's not because that I have no other way, I won't kneel in front of you like that.
I know that
I don't have the last dignity for human right now.
Don't push me.
I might do anything.
I believe that.
I swear. That case file is not a top-secret.
You are the prosecutor. It's easy for you to get it and there won't be any circumstance.
Let me say it again.
I don't want to.
If I help you, there is another condition.
Tell me. What's on that file.
Tell me. Why did you try to kill an important official?
Tell me. Why did you give everything up?
-It was me. -All these people were?
An old story.
This ordinary couple poured water on the street and they stained some powerful people's clothes.
They were beaten.
Thank you for saving us.
So you stopped them for the poor people.
It was not their fault. I didn't know who was behind it and I did this to myself.
I don't think that you are wrong.
The master of those guys
is Guo Baokun.
And his father is the Minister of Ministry of Rituals, Guo Youzhi.
A powerful man with a high position. Then?
After a day, I was wanted by the ministry of penalty.
The ministry of penalty sent out documents for a fight?
For the assassination of an important official.
There is no assassination.
How can they set your up without any evidence?
There were witnesses.
People from Guo Family?
That couple.
I was set up and my whole family was sentenced to death.
Your family was involved.
My wife was just pregnant.
I have begged them.
I told them that you could kill me
to save my family's lives. But they told me that
the law is strick and you couldn't disobey it.
I remembered that when I heard it,
I wanted to laugh. But I couldn't
Who saved you?
The Inspection and Control Center.
They got me out of prison
and transferred all my files with one condition only.
As long as I join the Inspection and Control Center,
I can save the lives of my whole family.
They wanted your talent.
But what if I never learned martial arts?
Is my tomb covered with grass now?
That's right.
I'm alive now.
But there are so many people that have died of injustice.
You hate them.
Who?
The son of the minister of ministry of rituals is so high and noble. I'm lucky to be alive.
How do I dare to hate him?
That couple.
After I went to the Inspection and Control Center, I did try to find them.
I wanted to beat the hell out of them
to let out the anger in my heart.
Did you?
Give us some money. Give us some food.
Are you tired? You are sweating a lot.
Lady, give us some food. Lady!
That is a poor child.
Give me some money, master.
Give him some then.
-Thank you! -There is no need.
Let's go.
Thank you, master.
-It's hard for everybody. -Right.
Master, give me some money.
Give me some food.
Please!
Master, give me so money.
Give me some food.
Please! Lady, give me some food.
Please. Kind people--
Thank you, master.
They are just ordinary people.
They were asked by the minister to be the witnesses.
What could they do?
From that thing, I understand.
In this world,
there is no black or white. There is only noble and lowly.
I was thinking about taking my wife and son out of the capital.
Secretly live this life.
So you want to fake your death with me.
You don't want to stay in the Inspection and Control Center.
I have come back to my home.
My home was empty. My family is missing.
I'm now dead. I can't look it up.
And people that I can trust
is only you, Fan Xian.
So this is the reason that you want to look for the case file in the Inspection and Control Center.
The trace of my family.
The Inspection and Control Center must have a record.
If you can find them for me,
you will own my life.
I don't want your life.
But I will help you.
You could, but you didn't do anything to that couple.
You said that your heart is cold.
It's not.
That's the reason that I help you.
[Martial Arts Hall]
Let's go.
[Lucky Yard]
Lady, please drink the medicine.
Wan'er! I will buy you chicken drumsticks today!
Lady! Lady! Be careful of the wind!
Lady!
Didn't you promise me to keep it as a secret?
Why are you yelling like this?
We don't have to keep any secret from now on.
Chicken drumsticks, pig feet, whatever.
You can eat whatever you want. Why are you still standing here?
Take him to the back kitchen to get ready.
Go!
Heroine Ye, what new things do you bring today?
I went out of town yesterday to watch the knife trick.
I heard that there is a chef in the countryside
that can use beans and vegetables to make the flavor of all kinds of meat.
They are not only delicious but also look alike.
I have brought him to cook for you.
-You are so sweet. -Of course.
From now on, if you want to eat meat,
I will bring him here.
I have the fate of a maid with the body of a lady.
It takes so much effort for me to eat meat.
How is it? Are you okay?
Why are you coughing blood again?
Did you get cold yesterday at the Qing Temple?
I'm okay. I'm really okay.
Tell me. Will there be a day--
that after all the throwing up, I get used to it?
What the hell are you talking about? Get used to it?
Are you an assassin?
I don't think so.
Then did a fairy send you?
I don't think so either.
I think you are.
It's okay. After all the throwing up, you will get used to it.
When I go out of town the other day,
I will find a famous doctor that's hiding to cure you.
Even if I'm cured now,
I won't be happy.
Are you still thinking about marriage?
I know my body.
I can die at any time.
Why do I have to be involved in an engagement?
Don't say things like that!
Don't say yourself like that for a bastard.
He is a bastard and I'm a bastard. What's the difference?
You are the princess.
You are like heaven and earth compared with them.
I grew up hiding in my life.
My princess's identity is false.
What if I'm the princess? I want to find someone that my true heart goes to,
but I can't make my own decision.
If somebody else makes you unhappy,
I can go and beat him to make you happy.
But this--
Although I'm weak, my heart is strong.
To marry me, the order of the Emperor is not enough.
It's not okay to get the inside treasury through me.
The one that I'm going to marry has one condition only.
What condition?
I need to like him.
Wan'er, what you just said is so good!
Right! Like! I need to find someone that I like too.
We are just talking after all.
How is that hard?
Wait! Where are we going?
It's just Fan Xian. We'll find him and talk to him about it!
Let him weight himself and ask the Emperor to take back his order.
Lady! Where are you going? You can't get cold again.
To retreat the engagement of your lady!
Lady!
Eat some.
No. I don't want to.
I have something. Let him stop the cart.
I'll go down.
What is it? Why are you rushing?
I don't know. I--
Stop!
Let that bastard from Dan Zhou get out of the cart!
Come out!
I'll take a look.
It's okay. Don't worry. Sit.
Did you hear me? Get out!
Brother.
It's okay.
Okay. Let's take a look.
They tried to beat him and got beaten instead.
-Young Master! Young Master, you need to be responsible for us! -Don't come here, get out!
Who is responsible for you?
-Young Master! -Shut up!
Do you know them?
I don't. Do you?
I don't them either. Nobody does.
-Young Master! -Who is your young master! Shut up!
They are talking nonsense.
I don't know where they come from.
Why are they calling young master like that?
I have a soli relationship with my brother.
Your little thugs! Don't try to break us!
Your highness, Fan Xian went out together with the son of Monte Sinan.
They went to Yi Shi Ju.
Also, on the Crown Prince's side,
somebody is watching Fan Xian.
Other than that, guests of the Second Prince are following him privately.
Fan Xian has no position. Should we protect him?
He is taking over the inside treasury after all. And you have picked him.
How many fish are in this pool?
The--I don't know.
The water is too deep and you can't see, right?
How about now?
The fish food in your highness' hand
is Fan Xian. The water is the capital.
The fish--
are everybody.
[Yi Shi Ju]
Gentlemen, watch your steps.
You go park the cart. We'll wait for you upstairs.
Go!
This Yi Shi Ju is a famous restaurant in the capital. It's very unique.
Since Sizhe is buying us, this is it then.
Sister. Is this one a little expensive?
You said that you are buying us lunch. Nobody is pushing you.
Brother. Let's go. See what you want to eat.
-Do you want books? -What?
Do you want books? Forbidden books?
This sounds so familiar. Do you also sell DVDs?
What DVD? I sell books.
Do you want it or not?
I need to take a look first, don't I?
-Red Chamber's Dream? -Indeed.
This Red Chamber's Dream is really a magical book.
It's the newest version. 8 teals for one book and there is no bargain.
How much? 8 teals?
Do you want it or not?
What if I want a lot?
You are not hiding too many.
If you really want it, come with me to the back valley.
-You guys wait for me upstairs. -Are you really going?
Please lead the way.
Brother!
Sister. Look at him! How unelegant!
What do you know?
Brother wrote that book.
He wrote that book!
Please take your time.
-Did you clean up everything? -Yes.
Hurry! Guests are waiting upstairs!
Please come this way.
-Let's eat at another restaurant. -Please come inside.
How far away?
Almost there. You bargain for yourself.
Not with you?
If you want to buy more, you need to talk to the host.
He has all the books.
There he is.
Remember. If any official comes to check you,
-you need to turn around and walk right away. Remember! -There are so many people getting books from him.
Right. You talk to him yourself. I'm going on the street.
Do you want this one or not?
Thank you, young master.
Then can you give me one?
Just one?
Remember! Runaway when you see any officials.
Go.
But don't run this way.
Do you have all the books?
How many do you want?
-Young Master Fan. -Wang Qinian.
Firstly a map, then a book.
Are you monopolizing the culture industry?
What is culture industry?
How about we talk about the map first?
Young Master Fan. How about this.
-I will pay you ten times for the map. -So straightforward.
I always admit what I have done.
I'm bright.
Please look at your back, young master.
What do you want me to look at?
You run so fast.
[Fan Family]
I don't know when the young masters will be back.
I understand.
Lady. I have asked.
Fan Xian is not here.
Where to?
He went to the restaurant.
He is happy and unrestrained!
[Fan Family]
Are you okay?
You can tell Mrs. Liu in the family about the withdraw of engagement.
The Emperor has arranged our marriage without my agreement.
I'm not happy about it.
You shouldn't do things to others if you don't want it yourself.
If I want to withdraw the engagement,
I should look at him in the eye and tell him.
I will help you.
I'm so weak and so willful.
Thank you.
Silly girl.
-Guess who is selling books. -Who?
Wang Qinian.
-Where is he? -Escaped. He ran so fast.
This book is widely spread in ladies.
I don't know where did it leak.
Brother. It's all my fault.
It's okay. It's a book. It's meant to be read by people.
What are you looking at?
There are a lot of people who are selling books.
Take a look! It's the same.
Take a look!
It's the most popular
book right now. Do you want one?
Why are there so many people that are holding babies?
Wang Qianian is good. He is a friend of women.
Fan Xian. Did you really write this book?
It's not me.
It's Cao Xueqin, Mr. Cao's Red Chamber's Dream.
Brother. Don't hide it. There is no such person in this world.
It's really not me. It's such a great book.
How can I steal it and call myself the author?
I just recite this book.
All in all, what happens next--
-are you the only one that knows it? -What?
Fan Xian. The sale of this book--
we can do it!
Fan Sizhe! Don't mess things up.
I don't, sister.
I was having a close look. There are a lot of people who are buying this book.
It's eight taels of silver for one book!
Look at this book. It's so normal.
Printing and publishing are less than three maces and two candareens.
If we don't count human labor, by selling one book,
we can earn seven taels, six maces and eight candareens.
Eight or night books were sold in that short period of time.
If we have more people, we can sell more than 100 in a day.
100 books! We can earn 768 taels.
If we control the time and publish one in 15 days,
that would be 11520 taels.
Other than labor, let's say 30%,
we can still get 8064 taels of profit.
You can publish 12 books,
and that would be 96768 taels.
And that's just the first version. There is so much to earn, Fan Xian!
What should you call?
Brother. My dear brother. If you let me do this,
not only brother. I'm willing to call you uncle.
What do you think? We can cooperate. You write the book and I set up the store.
We divide by 40% and 60%. I take 40% and you take 60%.
In that way, every 15 days,
you can get 4836 taels and 4 maces of silver.
What do you think?
How did you calculate all that?
Do you need to calculate it?
Isn't it very simple?
Get out of the way! Out of the way!
You are forbidden to sell it!
Get out of the way!
Who has asked you to sell this book? Get out of the way!
Don't sell it! Get out!
What are you doing?
Who has asked you to sell it!
Get away!
Young Master, we have driven away everybody.
[Guo Baokun, The son of Minister of Ministry of Rituals, Guo Youzhi.]
-Animal!
This is Guo Baokuo.
Son of the minister of ministry of rituals.
What is he doing?
-He is the one that destroyed your family? -Yes.
Should we find a way to beat him up?
I have only one life right now. I don't want to make a mistake again.
Everybody. I, Guo Baokuo,
my father is the minister of ministry of rituals. I'm not that talented,
but I am writing for the palace.
I have been reading and studying articles since I was a child and rituals are what I respect the most.
You are all scholars and you should read traditional saint's books.
This kind of dirty book is an insult to you.
[Red Chamber's Dream]
I think that from today,
we should forbid this book.
Nonsense. Guo Baokuo, you are talking nonsense!
Which son is talking crazy?
I'm your grand father!
Who is Guo Baokun's friend?
He used to study with the Crown Prince. He is on Crown Prince's side.
Crown Prince again.
Does it have anything to do with Crown Prince?
When he was talking, he was looking at me. He knew that I'm here.
Since it's for you, why is he so excited?
Right. Does Fan Sizhe have a history with Guo Baokun?
I haven't heard of it.
That guy with the last name Guo! What do you know!
So many people like to read this book.
It means that this book is a good book.
And you want to forbid it.
What's your position?
A writer for the palace! It's a small position!
Do you dare to go into the court?
I was thinking which family is this stupid guy from.
It's you, the stupid pig.
You are the pig! Your dad is the pig of the ministry of rituals!
-Don't be mad, Young Master Guo. -How dare you--
I heard that young master Guo is very talented.
You have come from a family with a rich history. I didn't believe it.
Today I see Young Master Guo telling right and wrong for the scholars in the world.
I respect you so much.
In the capital, this He Zhongwei
is pretty talented.
He is looking for a master.
I have heard of Young Master He's talent for a long time.
Don't praise me like that, Young Master Guo.
They are all nonsense!
You are not elegant.
This is the son of Monte Sinan.
Monte Sinan is in the ministry of revenue and he is in charge of the money.
So his son is supposed to be shallow.
How dare you insult my dad!
It's okay. Guo Baokun doesn't know me.
I'm afraid that his underlings recognize you. Don't show yourself.
Then what should we do? Watching your brother get beaten?
Let me go!
We are all officials. If you get down on your knee and apologize to me,
for the face of your dad, I will let you go.
Young Master I won't say sorry to a pig!
Kick him harder on the ground.
It's the bastard of Monte Sinan in Dan Zhou.
Miss Ruoruo.
Although Miss Rourou has talent,
she has such loser brothers.
It's such a pity.
You are wrong. I'm just passing by.
What are you doing?
Are you feeling ashamed?
Fan Xian, why are you unwilling to admit who you are?
I never thought that you admire me so much.
Nonsense! Ad--
I arrived in the capital yesterday and it's the first day that I came to the street. I haven't even recognized everybody in my family.
You can tell that it's me with one look and you remember my name so clearly.
Have you admired me for a long time?
You--
Don't say things if you can't say it. It's so embarrassing.
Let's talk about just then. If I didn't come down,
and he breaks one of his arms.
So? Then what?
Why are you staring? Go!
It's just a bastard. Why are you afraid?
If you break his arm,
I will break your nose. It's fair.
A loser from village who doesn't know anything.
Why are you looking at me? Beat him up.
I'll be responsible if he is hurt.
Dominating Qi!
Good hit!
What do you want?
Beat him up as well!
You just said that this book is cheesy and obscene.
I said it. So what?
Have you read it?
I don't even time to read all the saints' books.
How can I have time to read things like this?
Then have you read it?
I don't want to make my eyes dirty.
You have never read this book and you criticize it.
The writer of this book is a nobody.
-What kind of good articles can he write? -Are you reading the article or the fame?
If he is not famous, he can't write a good book?
If you don't study, you can't get a broad knowledge. If you don't' have a will, you can't study well.
You are so shallow and you call yourself a scholar.
And you talk about the will.
You don't have the respect to face other people's articles. Did your articles go into a dog's belly?
Nonsense!
How can your village people judge scholars like this?
Straighten your tongue before you talk!
If all the scholars are like you guys, I don't want to be part of it.
Well said.
What Young Master Fan said is really great.
Your highness.
-Your Highness. -If you don't study, you can't get a broad knowledge.
If you don't' have a will, you can't study well.
I think about these two sentences and they mean a lot.
You can see the talent of Young Master Fan from it.
Your highness. You can't be tricked by this person.
Young Master Guo and Mr. He are known for your talent.
It happens that there is going to be a poet gathering in my place tomorrow.
You should make friends through articles and get pleasure from writing poets.
And fight with poets on the gathering.
So the scholars in the world can see
who is really talented. How is it?
-I will be there. -I'll be there.
Who are you?
This is the son of Prince of Jin, his highness Li Hongcheng.
-Who is Prince of Jin? -Don't yell.
Prince of Jin is the brother of the Emperor.
Royal family.
Talent is the basis of people. Blood is nothing worth mentioning.
You have a good attitude.
Honestly, will there be girls in the poets gathering?
There will be quite a few talented ladies.
You are good! You are fishing artistic girls with such a formal thing.
What does fish mean?
It's a deal then. See you tomorrow at the gathering.
Okay. Hongcheng will be waiting.
Son of Prince of Jin, Li Hongcheng, has a good reputation.
He likes articles and holds poets gathering a lot.
Young masters from famous families always attend.
I never thought that brother would agree.
I thought you look down to things like that.
You can't hide it.
Why?
It's just a meal. And the followers of Crown Prince and the son of Prince of Jin both appeared.
And inviting a bastard that just got to the capital to the poets gathering
for one or two sentences. It's too careless.
Brother, you don't think that it's a coincidence.
He is waiting for me in Yi Shi Ju.
Don't think of nonsense like that.
He is the son of Prince of Jin.
Why does he have to wait for you?
Also, who can expect that you will be in Yi Shi Ju today?
It's easy to find the destination if he follows the cart.
So he sent somebody to wait for you in front of our house?
Just to meet you? And invite you to the gathering?
Is it possible? Nonsense.
About right.
What about Guo Baokun then?
Crown Prince sent Guo Baokun?
Crown Prince wants to meet you,
and the son of Prince of Jin wants to see you.
Why can't I see that you are so popular?
You should ask them then.
Don't think about nonsense like that.
There are a lot of people who like this book recently.
It's a magical book. There is no book like that in the world.
That Fan Xian is quite sincere.
He is very interesting. Not ordinary.
It's rare for a son of famous families in the capital that can get praise from you like this.
Do you want to meet him tomorrow?
Let's wait.
Let's see.
Okay.
What?
Why did you go downstairs?
Didn't you hear that he abuse the book that you wrote?
I was not mad, why were you?
We are cooperating to sell the book and he wants to ban it.
Stops me from making money is like killing my parents.
Who has promised to work with you?
Are you really not thinking about it? The profit is a lot.
I can't see that you did the math so fast.
Just ordinary. This is not important.
Think about it. Are we cooperating or not?
Why do you want to sell books?
To earn money. Do you need to think about it?
Then why do you want to make money?
What do you mean?
Do you want to buy expensive things with the money you earn,
or are you going to a casino or a whore's house?
I have never thought of that. I just like to earn money.
Don't look at me like that.
You agree, don't you?
Then you need to do me a favor.
What favor?
There is nobody here. We can get off the cart.
What do you mean?
Take the cart back home.
Don't let anyone know that I have left.
Where are you going?
If you keep asking, I won't let you sell my book.
There is no use that you threat me.
My sister is sitting here. She is afraid of lying the most.
Of course she won't help you. Right, sister?
Brother, you go ahead. Don't worry.
I'll keep an eye on him to stop him from gossiping around.
This--
Don't gossip.
Sister, why are you treating him totally different from treating me?
Turn left at the crossroad. Walk east until Tian He Street.
You will see the Inspection and Control Center there.
You send them back home. I can find it myself.
You are the prosecutor of the Inspection and Control Center. Do you need to sneak in?
I won't let others know about the prosecutor.
The case file of your family is 534 of No.4 category, right?
-Right. -Wait for the good news.
Think about where the bookstore should be.
We can talk about it when I get back.
You agree!
Don't let others see.
I'll be rich.
Sugar-coated haws!
Okay, young master.
Sugar-coated haws!
We need to pick the location for the store.
We also need to pick the paper.
And the private ones selling outside--
we need to retreat them to avoid affecting my selling.
And I need to prepare for all these things.
We are not there yet.
There is a traffic jam.
We can just withdraw and let them pass.
Okay.
Miss Fan! Please wait.
-Who is it? -That noisy one in Ye Family.
I remember it! Every new year
she sends you two big cases of jewelry.
Not her.
It's the daughter of the head of guards of the capital, Ye Family, Ye Ling'er.
Then you can just tell her to go.
Ye Ling'er is okay.
I think there is someone who is with her.
Who did you see?
It's the cart of the Fan Family!
