[I Will Never Let You Go]
Episode 33
Young lord is here today in One Tael Gambling House
just to sell this to me?
Actually, there is something you don't know.
Even though the house of Sima engineer gambling equipments,
but we never open gambling houses.
Nice stuff like this
should be used in
famouse gambling houses like One Tael Gambling House,
so our work doesn't go to waste.
That's right.
How much?
500 k taels, none-negotiable.
And I promise that only One Tael Gambling House
would own equipment like this.
500 k tael?
Don't you think it's a bit much?
Manager Qi,
I am sure you can figure out how much profit you can make
with this wheel.
500 k is not really expensive.
Ok, since you are so straight-forward,
then I won't waste your time. 500 k it is.
Deal.
Manager Qi is such a good decision maker.
Smart.
Zhu Shou, I just knew that your idea worth money,
but I didn't know that it worth this much!
500 k taels!
You should design more of it,
so we don't have to worry about our debt.
Miss, the history of gambling has up to a thousand years.
There are hundreds of gambling tools and equipment.
But think about it, gamblers' favorite
will always just be a couple of those, it's not easy to just be creative.
I came up with the Fungshui Wheel in accident,
and it was made after more than 10 years of adjustment.
So much work.
What was that saying?
"Good work is from heaven, but only the smart ones can occasionally get to touch it".
So are the gambling equipment.
Maybe our lady is the lucky one and is about to come up with one overnight.
Who knows?
That is possible.
Let's go.
Manager Qi.
Emergency letter from the young master, saying we are searching for these two.
Manager Qi, why do these two people look so familiar?
Go after that Sima Shou
and his sidekick. They are the ones the young master is looking for!
-Go! -Yes.
What's wrong, brother Yun?
You can go in. I'm leaving.
I need to go back to Suzhou and looking for that bastard.
Brother Yun!
This was many days ago. It's no hurry to go back to Suzhou.
You are already outside of Mo Manor.
Aren't you going in to Madam Mo and lord Mo?
Ok.
Mather, is it ok if I move the dirt like this?
It's ok.
Look at this branch. We need to cut it.
See, isn't it better now?
Is it?
It looks better after you touched it.
Auntie.
-Cousin. -A'lang is back!
You jerk! Where were you this past half of year?
-My uncle and my mother were so worried. -Yeah.
No message at all. Uncle has been sending people to ask me about you.
Tell me, where have you been this past half of year?
I was just wondering around in the south.
Just wondering?
Why don't I believe it?
Just traveling around.
Around...
A'lang, what's with you and Miss Lin's engagement?
I heard from my brother that you engaged with her in private.
But now, you are back to Mo Manor.
Don't tell me you two have been together this past half of year.
Because she hates the fact that lord Mo loved my mother.
My mother was staying with the Xue's, so she killed everyone in the house of Xue.
I entered Mo Manor, so she wanted to kill me.
I don't want you to stuck in between us,
so I didn't tell you.
What's going on? You look so lost.
Nothing. I must be tired.
I was with sister Dansha for the past half of year.
A'lang, marriage is something to be arranged by parents and matchmakers.
How could you get engaged in private? So is Miss Lin.
Her brother didn't agree to it and she was not married to you yet,
so how could she hang out with you day and night?
If people know about it, how is she going to...
You don't have to worry, auntie. I will marry sister Dansha.
I mean...
A'lang, if you really want to marry her, that would be the best.
I will convince uncle.
Also, I have a fine knife here.
I'm sure you would like it. Do you want to check it out in my room?
You brothers haven't seen each other for a long time,
so you must have many things to talk about. Just go ahead.
Let's go.
A'lang, it's for you.
Cousin, have you found out about who poisoned Buqi?
I've heard that the Lotus Robe Knight has been seen around the capital.
But after she is poisoned, the Lotus Robe Knight is gone.
It was the Lotus Robe Knight. It was someone else.
Have you found out who it was?
You knew that your mother poisoned Buqi, didn't you?
I knew it.
It's a shame that Buqi saw you as her real brother, yet you are so cruel to her.
A'lang, only four people knows about this.
You've been in the south for the past half year.
It's impossible for you to find out from my mother and uncle Mo.
How did you know about this?
Don't tell me
don't tell me that Buqi is alive.
She is dead! You two killed her!
There isn't any wall in this world that has absolutely no crack.
You don't have to know how I found out about it.
If it wasn't for us being a family, I will go tell the authorities right now!
After Buqi is buried, I've been to her grave.
I saw that her grave has been touched, but I didn't suspect anything.
I didn't open the casket to check.
A'lang,
is Buqi really dead?
You saw her, right?
Where is she?
I told you,
she is dead!
Even if she is not dead, why do you ask for her?
Are you gonna hurt her again?
How could I hurt her?
Don't you understand what I want?
It was me being careless at that moment
therefore my mother had her chance to hurt her.
If Buqi is still alive
I would let anyone harm her.
Cousin, remember
if you still feel guilty
you should sing some mantra for aunt to pray for Buqi.
Jian Sheng!
Young master.
Go investigate and see if Buqi is in the south.
Young master, is Miss not dead?
Remember, don't tell anyone. Especially my mother.
Do it in secret. Now!
Yes!
Dansha, I am about to send someone to give you the meds,
and you are back to Mo Manor.
Brother, is the antidote still not ready?
This person has a strange method for poison
My detox experiment has made no progress
However, he's honest and persistent. Every three months he would send detox medicine
Otherwise, I would have died from all the poison.
He won't let us die so easily
You two keep staying at Muo Manor
monitor all their actions. And report me immediately
Till I gained all the information of Muo Manor
It will be the day when you two get cured of my poison
Yes
He's still going to use us to spy on Muo Manor
It is strange that
since Hua Buqi faked her death, he has assigned us any mission.
I think, he knew you followed Yun Lang but he didn't stop you
I can't think of what he wants to do
No matter what he wants
I will kill him at the end to revenge for our father
Dan Sa, how are you and Yun Lang
Brother, I gave up
Dan Sha sister, can I come in?
Yes, Brother Yun.
Greetings to Yu Quan Brother
I haven't seen Dan Sha for a while, so we were just catching up
But we are done here. I'll leave you two now.
Yu Quan Brother, it's better for you to be here.
I was about to go to you after I talked to Dan Sha
I'm not sure if you would give us your blessing. I want to marry Dan Sha after the new year.
Would you agree?
Of course I don't have any issue with it
It's just your father...
I will talk to my father about it
The betrothal gift and letter will be sent.
I won't maltreat Dan Sha.
Okay. It's wonderful.
I'll leave now.
Yun Brother.
Is it because you've seen me ugly the other day
so you want to take the responsibility?
Now that we have had physical intimacy, of course I will take the responsibility
If Dan Sha is disappointed in me
I will go find Yu Quan to say you rejected me.
I agree.
Even though you are still thinking about Buqi
And I don't know what happened between you two
but I'm the person by your side now
I've said
I just need one chance. One chance to be with you
and it will be enough.
Since I am going to marry you, then I will treat you right.
I will go back to Feiyun now and tell my father.
Just rest yourself in Mo Manor.
Thank you for keeping me company these days.
It's fine.
Are you still going back to Suzhou?
No. After much thinking, only Dongfang Shi from the court will do something to us,
which we don't have any evidence, so we can't do anything.
Also, I don't want to waste my time on that.
I have other things to do.
If you can think that way, I am relived.
I don't want brother Yun to be hurt anymore.
Rest well. I am going back now.
Brother Yun,
this is the jade I got for myself
after Yaoling collapsed.
You take it.
I hope you will always be safe
and will never have to worry.
Here.
Thank you.
[Mingyue Villa]
What do we do, master?
This poison has past through your arm and entering your body.
Ping'er, there is no update from master?
No.
Who's there?
Manager Qing? Why were you listening to us outside the door?
Forgive me, master. I was only following my order.
Master, are you ok?
Don't use any energy when the needle is swimming around your body.
Liu Qingwu, now that Mingyue Villa has two sides, which you probably know whose side I am on.
If you want to live, you better let me go report back to the master.
Maybe, your golden needle problem can be solved.
Master, should we kill him?
Master!
Ok.
We've done enough performance. Just let him go tell Liu Mingyue.
How was it? What was their attitude?
I have shown them the letter you have written yourself.
But they are not very consistent.
Also, Liu Qingwu have said that
if anyone rebel under your name, they will be punished.
So most of them are in the middle.
They don't want to offend either side.
In the middle?
Since they don't value the chance I gave them,
then don't blame me for being ruthless.
By then, kill all of them.
Yes, master.
There is another thing. Today, Liu Qingwu's golden needle was acting up. It seemed very painful.
When she was trying to catch me, she fainted. That's how I got to escape.
The pain from the golden needle is being felt in the bones.
It's enough to break someone.
Manager Qing, go back to Mingyue Villa and tell Liu Qingwu
and say that I can treat her.
But I will pick the place.
She has to come alone.
Will...Liu Qingwu agree to it?
Just go tell her. It seems about time
for her golden needle to act up.
Even if she doesn't want to do it, she will have to.
God damn it. This Liu Qingwu dares to offend the master.
Get her here and I will chop her up.
I don't want her to know that I'm here.
Manager Qing, once she agree to the terms,
take her to the cave and kill her.
Yes, master.
Qingyan.
Master.
You are injured. Don't move.
Mo Manor has hurt you badly. You are lucky
that you got out.
I will treat you with the golden needle. It will hurt.
I don't dare to trouble you.
You need to endure it.
Using golden needles for your pressure points
can help you heal faster.
Once you are fully recovered, I will take them out.
So they don't swim around your veins,
and injure you again.
Do you feel better?
It feels a lot better. Thank you, master.
Master, you are such a good doctor.
Rest well.
Wen Po said, on the twin sister
there is a green birth mark
I asked you yesterday and you said yes
this means you are one of the twin sisters
Master,can you take a look at my birthmark on my leg?
I'm not sure why
What about your birthmark?
The birthmark was there when I was little
but I don't know why it grows more light
Till now you almost can't see it.
Birthmark is the blood clotting under skin
-as you grow up, it's normal for it to disappear -Mo Fei is right
How does she know my birthmark is on my leg
Oh it's like that. I thought something was wrong with me.
I was going to ask Master to perform the golden needle techniques again to check it out
Master's Golden Needle Techniques is really magical
It can use for medical and also for battle
Master, you said it's the Lord taught you this
The Lord is so knowledgable.
Lord knows so much. All these techniques for him
are nothing
Master, when did you meet the lord?
Back then, the Lord already knew that
Xue Fei is in Xue Village
So he will go see her occasionally
I remember, when I was a teenager
I met the Lord on the way back to Xue Village from the nun temple
Since then, we have built a relationship
I was learning martial arts at the nun temple
Then later he taught me and I made faster progress
Master, you always say that people bully and humiliate you in Xue Village
Lord taught you martial arts. There must be no one can beat you in Xue Village
Master, have you seek your revenge?
Qing Yan, do you remember what have I said?
For whoever wronged me
I won't let that go
I will return that to them a hundred times more
Before Mo Uncle burnt down Xue Manor, he found out something
Before he burnt it down, someone has already killed the son and daughter in law of Xue
and took a pair of twin sisters away
Old man Xue dare to look down upon me
Then I killed his son
Till now, I still remember
the way he kneed down in front of his son's body
I was going to let him to taste
how it is to watch his child die before him
Good job! He dare to humiliate Master
Even Xue lost all their offsprings and everyone gets killed
it's just their karma
losing all offsprings?
Master, have you not killed them all? You still have kindness for them?
You can't Master.
If you leave them alive, they will only become trouble one day. You should kill them all.
Do I need you to teach me this?
I'm sorry
But, she's really a trouble
Qing Yan, I just have a mission for you
Liu Qing Qu betrayed
If I can kill her this time
you pretend to be Liu QIngwu and get close to Dong Ping Lord
Qing Yan won't let you down.
Please recover soon. So then you can work for me.
I'm still waiting for you to seek revenge for me.
Rest well.
I won't betray her
She did bring you up and teach you things
But what is it's the hatred of killing your parents?
Sir, why do you say that?
Uncle Mo burnt down Xue Manor, but found out something
Before the fire, someone has already killed his son and daughter in law
and took away a pair of twin sisters
I found the midwife Wen Po, and she said on those sisters legs
there were green birthmarks
I asked if you had it and you said yes
This is a proof that you are one of the twin sisters
No wonder Liu Ming Yue treat you two so cruel
Because she was born by Xue and a maid
She was ignored and looked down since she was young. She hates everyone from the Xue family,
of course she hates you too
You are lying
Master can't be the murderer of my parents
Then I'll let you go and you can try o find out
I'm afraid you've bought all of those people
Then you can directly investigate Liu Mingyue
To see if I was right
It looks like Mo Rufei is right
I pretended to be injured from Mo Manor to come back to you
I was still grateful for your care
But now
there is nothing left
Where is Master?
Master isn't sure if you are not pulling some tricks. She asked us to keep an eye on you
to make sure you are not tricking anyone. Then to take you to see her.
I almost lost my life
what tricks can I pull?
Hurry
Young master, the sand dunes are right in front of us
there is no barrier. we can't be too close
as close as we can.
if we are exposed it's fine. Miss Liu's safety is the most important
Qing Manager, are we here?
It looks like Master doesn't trust me anymore
Liu is in danger. Hurry!
Liu Qing Wu, you are pretending
You dare to betray Master. Master ordered,
we need to take your life now.
Get on it
Are you okay Miss Liu?
Chang Qing, I thought I won't see you anymore
It won't be
Healing medicine
It's useless. They put poison on the weapons
I can feel it going into the heart. I'm dying
You won't die. Hold on.
You won't die. Doctor Ye is still in the manor
He will save you
How are you? Any better?
Chang Qing, can I ask you a question?
Don't talk now
I'm afraid if I don't ask now I won't have a chance anymore
In your entire life, except for Hua Buqi
have you had feelings for anyone else?
No
You know my feelings for you.
I betrayed Liu Mingyue for you. I just wanna know if in our heart
I'm still that cruel person
When I first met you
I did think so
But after I get to know you. I find that you are just like Buqi
like a poor person
if you didn't grow up by Liu Mingyue
rather just in a normal family
you won't suffer all these pain in life
you will be happier too
Too bad there is no what-if
Chang QIng, I'm sorry
I shoot you before
Now I returned this favor to you
If you want to take down Liu Mingyue, I will always help
I will bear any pain for you
It's just, I hope I can always see you
It's just some small injuries. I'm fine now
You finally admit that you are Lotus Knight
Since you know already
why does it matter if I admit it or not
I'm happy
that you finally are willing to be honest with me
Just, I won't live anymore
Otherise, you will really like me
Too bad
I'm going to see if Doctor Yeh is here
-Don't leave. -Qing Wu
Don't be like this in the future
Please.
Miss,
Manager Liu said that you were poisoned.
But after examine your pulse, it seems that you are just weak,
and no signs of being poisoned. Weird.
But my chest did felt like
it was poked by needles.
I thought that I was poisoned.
Don't worry, Miss. You are not been poisoned.
It was just that your blood pressure was low.
I will prescribe something for you and you will be fine.
Thank you, doctor Yi.
Goodbye for now.
Here, please.
So I escape from death again.
It's a shame that I didn't see Liu Mingyue this time.
I can't hide the fact that I don't have the needles in me from her anymore.
It's ok. You will find her.
But I'm sure about one thing.
The bandits don't want to expose their basecamp,
so they cover visitor's heads before taking them in.
I followed Manager Qing twice.
Even though he lost me everytime,
the direction he was heading might be the bandits' basecamp.
I suspect that Liu Mingyue is hiding in the basecamp.
As long as I can sneak in the basecamp,
maybe we can find Liu Mingyue.
You are saying that the bandits is also part of Mingyue Villa?
Yes. Unfortunately, the bandits only talks to Liu Mingyue.
Other people in Mingyue Villa don't know where their camp is.
Also, the bandits are very sneaky. They move their camps all the time.
Even inside of the Xizhou government, there are bandit's spies.
If there are any warning signs, they will run away.
That's why general Guan can't destroy them.
I will go find their camp.
I will come with you.
No need. It's easy to be exposed when there are more people.
Don't go back to Mingyue Villa before you are recovered.
So you don't get yourself in danger.
Liu Mingyue has been very cold to us ever since I was a kid.
No one ever cared about me.
It's so good that you are now.
Qingwu,
we've been through a lot.
I only see you as a friend
and nothing else.
You can't see me just as a friend forever.
Ok, let's talk about it later.
Let's talk about the bandits. Zhangqing,
how are you going to find them?
If they need to survive in the desert,
they will have to leave some tracks.
I will just go find them.
Don't go anywhere before you are fully recovered.
Zhangqing, you will fall in love with me one day.
I, Liu Qingwu, must get the man I want.
Young master, you want to go to the desert and find the bandits alone?
The bandits are very cautious, so it's easy to get be exposed if there are more people.
I will be fine by myself.
You and Xiao Liu can receive me in Stone Town.
I've told general Guan and governor Du to be prepared.
If I ever figure out the bandits' fortress,
get general Guan and clean them up with him.
So we can get rid of this problem for Xichu.
Be careful, young master.
Young master, the things you need to entering the desert are prepared.
It seems that I will need to go through a couple of tough days in the desert.
Why did they go to the gamble house?
They were here to sell a newly designed gambling equipment.
So I bought them.
With this new way of gambling, our besiness
will be 30% better.
How much did you offer them?
-500 k taels. -500 k?
Where are they? Where did you follow them until?
They've gone on a ship in Suizhou and heading to the north of the river.
The north shore of the river is Dengzhou.
Because we were late, we only followed them to the shore. But I've
told our people in Dengzhou to be prepared. I believe we will have some news soon.
Ok. You may leave.
Yes.
Miss Zhu, you are really something.
I can't believe you turn the businesses in the house of Dongfang into your tools for making money.
Just a new way of gambling made you 500 k taels?
You are really something.
We are lucky that One Tael Gambling House is our business
so they could tell us in time.
Or else, we almost got fooled by her and believe that she went to the capital.
We are going to Dengzhou and look for Miss Zhu now.
A'Zhu,
let's take a break. I'm thirsty.
Ok.
A'Zhu, what were you mumbling about when we got out of the gambling house?
What was it?
Zhu Shou, have you heard of Nian Jiu She Li?
I know, of course. Isn't it just using bamboo or wood to make make lottery,
and when the lucky person drafted the lottery
he can win a big prize?
That's right. I've been thinking that
we can improve upon this way of gambling.
Look, if everyone draws a raffle together,
there will be a limitation for the participants. It's better of they draw numbers
and put 20 numbers on the lottery.
Everyone can fill 7 lotteries.
We announce the winning number every 5 days.
The one who filled all the winning numbers get 10 k.
The one who got 6 numbers right gets 3k. Getting less than 5 numbers gets nothing. How is it?
This sounds like a good idea.
Everyone can participate and we don't need to open a gambling house.
Right? I'm good I'm good.
Also, spending 2 coins can get one lottery
for the chance of winning 10 thousand. Everyone would want to do it.
I am sure the old man who sells vegetable in Suzhou
would want to buy one.
Also, there are so many rick business owners.
They can spare 5 or 10 taels every time.
We can do this business in Hangzhou, Yangzhou, even the whole country.
This method sounded very good,
but I feel like there must be something wrong.
Is there?
Think about it, your way of gambling
is nothing like my Fungshui Wheel.
If the house of Zhu can do it, others can also do it, right?
Think about it, even though the house of Zhu is the wealthiest in the south,
we still need to listen to the government.
Suzhou has Suzhou's government, which is also Prince Jin's land.
If Prince Jing wants to do this business, do you think people will follow the government
or us businessman. Right?
What if the emperor hears about it and he is interested?
And he start this business everywhere this country.
Have ...have...have the state governments do as much as they can.
Will we able to do business against the emperor?
So the method you were talking about can only work for a month at most,
and then the house of Zhu can't keep it up anymore.
That really is...
The people never fight the government.
Don't even mention the emperor.
That was a waste of time!
Don't say that, Miss.
It's only been a little while
and you came up with such a good idea.
Look, you are a talented businesswoman, right?
Don't get discouraged. Think more about it.
Maybe you can come up with something better.
I don't want to think anymore.
-Let's keep going. -Now? -Yup.
Where are we staying tonight?
There is a Longhu Hotel
in 30 miles away. We can stay there tonight.
Let's go.
