Episode 10
Who's in charge of JiShi Hall?
I'm JiShi Hall's physician, Bai SuZhen, may I ask what's the matter?
A few days ago, did QianTang County's lord, Liang JunShen, come here for an examination?
He did indeed come for an exam, what seems to be the problem?
He used the medicines your JiShi Hall pre.scribed and in but a short while, he was poisoned and died
Poisoned?
That's impossible!
Impoossible? I heard with my own ears just now this lady admitting that your JiShi Hall's physician messed with the medication.
A JiShi Hall physician poisoned and killed Lord Liang. There's irrefutable evidence
-Come! -Here!
Take everyone away! Seal the place up completely!
Yes!
Don't don't don't! Everything's not been made clear, yet.
You can't, you can't!
Sir, sir! You shouldn't!
These are hundred year old ginseng, you can't take them away!
Wait, why are you dragging me, she's the physician!
Since a physician from your JiShi Hall committed the crime, of course it's related to everybody. Take them away.
No...She's not a physician from JiShi Hall. JiShi's Pharmacy's physician is...is...is...
That...no...it's...
You explain, don't get Brother HanWen involved.
If I don't admit to this matter today, these constables won't let JiShi Hall go.
Fortunately I possess some powers. HanWen simply won't be able to bear this kind of suffering. Oh well...
This matter is unrelated to anyone from JiShi Hall.
I'm the one who pretended to be a JiShi Hall physician. You can take me away.
Have you heard? She personally admitted that it's related to her. Take her, take her.
Take her away!
Today, all of the goods at JIShi Hall are key evidence. Take them all away.
Don't...
Sir, sir!
-Don't don't... -Please show mercy, sirs. Sir! Sir!
-Sirs, you can't take them all away! -Father!
Don't be so anxious, don't scare me!
It's alright, it'll be alright.
What's going on here?!
I also don't know.
YinXiang
Where's the injured person?
Not on this street, it's at that street in front of us.
We can see it after walking a bit more.
Another ten zhang (about 33 meters) forward on this alley is a medical clinic.
If you found an injured person,
why didn't you ask for help at the clinic instead of coming to look for me?
What are you trying to do?
I'm not trying to do anything to you!
Then it must be your mistress trying to do something to SuZhen.
Therefore, you purposefully kept me away, correct?
My...My Lady said that no matter what,
you can't be present at JiShi Hall right now.
Muddled!
Mister Xu, Mister Xu!
Go in.
I merely added something like a laxative to the medical prescription.
Moreover, HanWen already changed the prescription back.
How could that person be poisoned and die?
Spare me, spare me! I've been framed, I've really been framed!
Before coming to this place, everybody claims that they've been framed,. However, I'd advise you to admit to your crime as soon as possible.
You'll suffer a bit less.
I've really been framed!
Let me go!
Not good, I'm afraid these people are used to obtaining confessions through torture.
They may not consciously try a case.
I need to find a way to leave and investigate that person's cause of death clearly.
Why is it like this? Why's this cord getting tighter and tighter.
Moreover, I'm unable to change form.
This time, that Bai SuZhen of yours killed Lord Liang.
My JiShi Hall is going to go out of business!
What? Not possible!
How's that not possible?
Don't you be bewitched by her, she's been taken away.
That won't do. I have to save her.
Brother HanWen.
Brother HanWen!
Her crime is murder, how are you going to save her.
If it weren't for you having YinXiang hold me up today, SuZhen wouldn't have been taken away.
That prescription was written by me, it had nothing to do with SuZhen.
But she admitted it with her own mouth, why must you defend her.
If you were to offend the officials because of her, what's JiShi Hall going to do?
Father, persuade him.
XuXian, this has to do with the loss of human life,
you mustn't go there and cause trouble. If you were to offend the officials,
our JiShi Hall will have to close!
Master, that dirty water has already been thrown at us,
there must be hidden motives behind Lord Liang's death.
Only when SuZhen is innocent can we preserve our reputation.
Otherwise, do you really believe that our JiShi Hall can really be free from involvement?
No...
Father, why didn't you stop him?
What he said seems reasonable.
Think about it, that Bai SuZhen is our JiShi Hall's consulting physician,
now that human life is lost, it's also difficult to say that our JiShi Hall is completely free from involvement.
I think that there must be someone looking to harm us, I can't just take this like a mute (can't take this sitting down).
Stop there!
I already said that this involves a human life.
Don't you meddle in it.
Properly watch over your mistress, don't let her wander off.
Yes!
Father!
Stop struggling. This is actually Buddha's Demon Shackle.
You won't be able to free yourself.
Bai SuZhen, your thousand years cultivation was worthless.
Haven't you still fallen into my hands in the end.
You demon fox, where in the world did you obtain this kind of magic treasure?
That's right, I'm merely a fox who's cultivated for a few hundred years, that's all.
How could I have the Demon Shackles?
But that doesn't matter.
As long as I understand human hearts, and fulfill their desires,
wouldn't each and every one of them present their precious treasures to me?
To tell the truth, I should properly thank that good friend of yours.
Good friend?
Someone who can obtain the Demon Shackle certainly won't be simple.
JingSong used to be Tathagata's disciple...
I just love to see the expressions of bosom friends suspecting one another,
but what a dumb snake you are.
Why would he persistently set his heart on only you
and even injure me because of you.
-Not possible. It's absolutely impossible for him to have you come harm me. -Correct!
What he wanted was only XuXian's life, that's all.
He thought that his powers are strong, so he could pressure me not to harm you.
How laughable!
I'm afraid of him, because I can't defeat him.
But if I were to have your thousand year spirit core,
would he still be my opponent, hm?
In regards to a scheming heart,
that mouse's skill is still a bit shallow.
Who's hitting the drum?
Xu Xian of Xiantang county wants to air his grievance.
Your heart is in pain? How does it feel to be schemed against by someone whom you trust?
If that rat were to find out that he caused your death,
his expression will be beautiful.
This is the only way to eliminate my hatred and grudge.
I must remove the demon shackles. She is also a demon and can't remove it.
I must find a way to trap her.
Stop dreaming. Trying to trap me?
Do you think I'm stupid like you?
You can read minds?
You just woke up from reality? It's too late.
These mortals don't live long and have fickle minds.
Pledging allegiance to Qin in the morning and switching to Chu in the evening. What good is such a changeable heart?
They might as well give them to me to advance myself.
If you do this, you will be possessed by the devil.
Well said.
Once I swallow your thousand-year-old spirit pellet to cover up my deplorable history,
no heavenly decree or earthly law can touch me.
Perhaps, I can also become an immortal.
Someone beat the drum to voice his grievance.
The magistrate wants to hold a public trial.
Almighty!
Xu Xian, why did you beat the drum to voice your grievance?
Lord, someone falsely reported that Physician Bai of Jishi Hall poisoned and killed someone.
Lord, please be the judge.
Based on what basis that it's a false report?
Don't tell me Lord Liang didn't go to Jishi Hall to seek treatment
and she didn't prescribe this medicine too?
Lord Liang did come to Jishi Hall
but I didn't make any mistakes in the diagnosis and prescription.
It's not up to you to say there weren't any mistakes.
Lord, there was no problem withe prescription.
Once only need to try it to know.
I'm willing to take the medicine to prove Miss Bai's innocence.
What's so great about Xu Xian that you are protecting him?
- You don't cherish me, right? - It's not that. You will regret...
Did you hear this? A life was lost in Jishi Hall.
What's going on?
Their female physician caused the death of a patient.
The person who died was also Lord of a county.
Jishi Hall is having bad luck now.
Come, let's eat.
Who's the female physician in Jishi Hall you were talking about?
Bai...Physician Bai.
Bullshit. How could she have caused the death of a patient?
If you spot nonsense again, I will cut off your tongue.
I'm not spouting nonsense. She definitely treated the Lord of Qiantang county and caused his death.
The government is judging her case now. Go take a look if you don't believe me.
Where did that girl come from? She's so fierce.
I took the medicine for the period of a lighted incense.
There was no adverse reactions to the body.
Hence, this proves that the prescription couldn't be poisonous and kill anyone.
About this...
Lord, there's no poison in the prescription. The accused is not guilty.
I hope that you will return her innocence to Miss Bai.
The cause of the dead of the Lord of Xiantang county is unknown.
Who can you let the criminal off so lightly?
Prime Minister.
Magistrate of Lin'an.
I'm here.
Where's the suspect?
The woman dressed in blue.
Who aired the grievance on her behalf?
It's Physician Xu Xian.
Your family name is Xu?
Yes.
I'm a Physician Xu Xian from Jishi Hall.
Why is Prime Minster Liang so surprised upon seeing Xu Xian?
Do they know each other?
Lord, this way, please.
[Courthouse]
This is bad. The fox demon must be using her mind reading skill.
Since this old man has a grudge with Xu Xian's father,
And now his son has died by Xu Xian's hands,
then I'll just give it a boost to use his hands to remove my nemesis.
Woman in blue, how did you cause the death of the Lord of Xiantang county?
To answer My Lord,
Physician Xu Xian personally tested the medicine just now.
It proved there was no problem with the prescription.
Tested the medicine. Lord of Xiantang county was ill.
That medicine may not harm Xu Xian
but perhaps, it may harm a sick patient.
I think these two are adamant in not acknowledging this.
- Magistrate of Lian'an. - Here.
Don't you have any solutions?!
I have committed a sin for not being capable.
Men, punish her!
Lord, you can't do this.
Beat her!
Lord, you don't have any evidence and witness
and casually used punishment. Are you trying to force the beatings till you succeed?
Who says there isn't any witness?
Someone is going to testify against you now.
Men, invite Madam Hexin on the stand.
- What's going on? - Let me through.
Prime Minister, Magistrate.
I am Lord Liang's concubine Hu Kexin.
I have the evidence that Physician Bai of Jishi Hall poisoned our Old Master.
Where's the evidence? Submit it immediately.
What is this?
This is the remnants of the medicine left behind by our Old Master.
That day, he had a headache and went to Jishi Hall for consultation
and brought this pack of medicine home.
The killer is cunning.
Although there's no problem with the prescription but there's poison in the medicine.
Please be wise and conduct a proper investigation to seek justice for our Old Master.
- Invite the corner. - Invite the coroner.
Greetings, Prime Minister, Magistrate.
Coroner, check this remnants of the medicine and the prescription.
Is there anything suspicious?
Lord, the remnant of this medicine and prescription are different.
It's written that there's periwinkle in the prescription
but there's Datura flower in this remnant of the medicine.
What will happen if Datura flower is being used?
If Datura flower is used excessively, it will cause one to be unconscious and die.
I did an autopsy on Lord Liang's body
and inquired about the circumstances of his death.
I found out that he was poisoned by Datura flower.
Miss Bai, our Older Master fell in love with you at first sight
and wanted to take you in.
If you were not willing, you could have just declined him.
Was there a need to kill him?
Lord, please seek justice for our Old Master. You must not let this killer go.
Why isn't Older Sister defying this?
Is she afraid that others will see her original form?
No, the shackles on her look suspicious.
Sir, even though there's poison in this datura flower,
but in order to be poisoned, then the concentration certainly can't be low.
But in this medicinal dregs, there's...
-Magistrate of Lin'An. -Here.
This person's evidence confirms the crime. Why haven't you sentenced him?
Yes!
Have Bai SuZhen caned forty times and sent to prison!
Sir, that day at JiShi Hall,
I was responsible for gathering medicine. She was only responsible for writing prescriptions.
Everyone here can testify that there's nothing wrong with the prescription, so she's guiltless.
Will you please release Bai SuZhen. If there's torture, please implement it all on me alone.
Stop with the nonsense. Cane her fiercely for me.
What are you doing?
What are all of you doing?
What in the world's going on?
The heavens are angry!
They're punishing arbitrarily. There's certainly injustice here.
From the looks of it, Physician Bai is indeed innocent.
They've accused a good person wrongly!
Nothing's wrong with the prescription, let Physician Bai go!
Let Physician Bai go, nothing's wrong with the prescription!
Wronged a good person! Wronged an innocent!
-Magistrate of Lin'An. -Yes!
The people's wrath is difficult to quell, let that woman go.
Yes!
Since XuXian already admitted to the crime,
then let Bai SuZhen go.
-Immediately untie her. -That's great! That's wonderful!
The magistrate is just!
Sir, Miss Hu fainted!
Hurry, hurry and carry her away.
I'm fine. You return first.
Then please take care.
I actually want to see what trick she's playing.
Sir, there are plenty of people who can mess with medicines,
people from the Liang mansion also can't be free from suspicion.
If you sentence Physician Xu's crime now, it'd be a bit too hasty.
Stop using words to force reason.
This XuXian clearly has a personal relationship with you.
I'm afraid County Magistrate Liang had been forcibly robbed of the person he liked.
Therefore, he's been killed painfully.
Someone come! Put XuXian in shackles!
Immediately send him to death row!
-Stop! -Bai SuZhen!
I've been lenient on you, don't look down on this court!
You clearly have no regard for human life.
This case clearly still has many suspicious points, yet you concluded it in haste.
Someone come! Drag her out!
SuZhen, don't do this, I'm fine.
Don't be afraid,
I've said that I'll protect you.
Remember, you have to take good care of yourself.
No matter what, don't endanger yourself because of me.
Also, help me take good care of Elder Sister.
My Lady!
How is it? What happened, did they already pass a verdict?
Did that Bai SuZhen admit her crime?
What are you nodding and turning your head for, speak!
The judge has given a verdict, but the one who admitted to the crime wasn't Miss Bai.
It's Mister Xu. Mister Xu took upon everything himself.
What did you say? Say it again!
Mister Xu admitted to the crime on Miss Bai's behalf.
Now, he's already been sent to prison.
My Lady, are you alright?
What does this matter have to do with Brother HanWen?
What're you doing? Who are you all?
What are you doing?
XuXian poisoned QianTang County's Lord Liang.and has already been sent to death row.
I am ordered to search for evidence. Anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed.
No, no, no, you must have made a mistake.
It's impossible for Han Wen to kill anyone.
Sister Xu, are you alright?
I'm alright.
You dare to obstruct the court from handling a case?
A court carrying out a case requires official documents.as evidence.
What I've received is the prefect's verbal order. No need for explanations to someone like you.
You can leave now, right?
Let's go!
They searched for evidence and confiscated his property while throwing him in prison.
What in the world has my Xu family done wrong;
why does the heavens not let us off.
Sister Xu, don't worry, HanWen will be fine for sure.
Sir, I've investigated everything clearly.
Xu Xian is indeed the son of Xu Hwairen.
In that year, after Xu HuaiRen passed away, their entire family moved away from their village,
and quietly eked out an existence elsewhere.
That's why our people let down our guards.
It's a pity the weeds weren't pulled cleanly at that time.
During that time, when the Xu family died in an accident,
Xu HuaiRen's daughter then brought XuXian with her and
got married to a constable in Lin'An County.
I've already sent people to turn XuXian's home upside down.
We didn't even overlook a single piece of paper.
If there really was any evidence in the Xu family's home, they can't possibly leave no trace of a clue at all.
Ever since I saw XuXian at court,
my heart has been feeling uncomfortable.
This Xu family is my bane.
If XuXian didn't exist,
my son wouldn't have died.
My Lord, do you mean to eliminate Xu Xian?
We haven't found anything of Xu Hwairen's belongings.
How can I stay calm?
I've investigated.
The sister and brother have been very low-keyed in these many years.
They do not have any dealings with officials in the royal court.
It's so long, they haven't made any waves.
They must not know anything.
Ain San, you must always think of dangers when you are living in peace.
My Lord, please enlighten.
Go meet Xu Xian, so if he'll cooperate.
The son of famous minister Xu Hwairen
would actually degrade himself into a crowd of commoners,
and is even a death-row inmate.
If your father could see you now from Heaven, what would he do?
It seems that the prime minister has already investigated thoroughly
into my unfortunate life.
They say that a son resembles his father.
XuXian is worthless, not as bright as Father,
but my temperament and disposition,
is exactly the same as his.
I absolutely won't cause Father to lose face.
XuXian, do you know how your father was blamed at that time?
It's because he secretly possessed some important documents.
If you know what's good for you, then hand over those documents.
I can spare your life.
If I didn't remember incorrectly,
that trial should've been assigned to the prefecture.
Minister involved yourself like that,
I'm afraid that's not appropriate.
What's more, that case involved your son,
legally speaking, you should've avoided doing anything that may arouse suspicion.
Minister, aren't you speaking too irresponsibly?
Accepting a few official documents in exchange for a person's life,
is there really no law in this land?
Things having reached this state, you still believe in the law?
Whip him!
Miss Bai, take a rest. I will tidy up.
Older Sister Xu, there's no need for you to be formal with me.
Previously, Han Wen and I tidied up together too.
I know where he places his items.
I hope that when he's back, everything will be in their right place.
Fine, let's tidy up together then.
[Daily Medical Records]
This is Han Wen's medical records.
He has a habit. Every time when he encounters a complicated case,
he would record it down.
He would, sometimes, write down the the usage of the medicine.
He's such a cautious person. How could he have poisoned a patient to death?
In the 8th year of Shao Xing, on the 16th day of the 3rd month.
Isn't that the day before Liang Jun's death?
What's wrong?
Han Wen wrote in his diary.
An injured patient wanted to use Datura flower that day to stop the pain
but the supply of Datura flowers in Jishi Hall were used up.
Moreover, there isn't any in the whole of Lin'an city.
So Han Wen used yellow azalea and strong liquor to replace the missing ingredient.
Older Sister, Han Wen can be saved.
Jiarong!
Bai Suzhen, what are you still doing here?
If it weren't for you, how could Brother Han Wen fall into this state?
Ruyi, stop spouting nonsense.
Older Sister, don't be deceived by her.
She was doing the diagnosis at Jishi Hall that day.
It's all because she doesn't stay chaste and attract unwanted attention, that's how trouble came.
That's why Brother Han Wen is in prison for no reason.
Ruyi, how could you say this?
We know Miss Bai.
It has nothing to do with her.
You don't believe me. She will harm you sooner or later.
Lord, he fainted.
He still refused to talk.
Based on the situation, perhaps, he's really not aware.
When we were investigating Xu Huai's body,
there was nothing on his body.
Moreover, if the Xu family really has the evidence,
they would now have thought of a way to go against us.
Xu Hwairen was always cautious.
If there was no evidence, how would he have dared to impeach me?
Although I took the first shot to get ride of that trouble,
but I still want to make sure there is nothing else.
Lord, are you saying...
This time, we can't let the tiger return to the mountain.
We must remove the weed's roots to permanently eliminate the problem.
It's just as I expected.
This mortal's heart is very interesting.
Even his own son is not as important as his quest for power.
I don't have to worry then.
Don't break it!
Don't break it. Stop!
That's peony jade. Very expensive!
If you don't agree to save Xu Xian, I will wreck all your treasures!
Even if you do that, I can't do anything too.
I watched Xu Xian grow up. Would I want him to die?
Furthermore, your father operates a medical hall. What can I do?
I don't care! I don't care!
Sell Jishi Hall and buy him back.
As a physician, the scariest thing is to treat a patient and he dies.
Even more so, the dead patient was our Lord of Xiantang's county.
He was the son of the Prime Minister in an Imperial court.
We can't deny our relationship fast enough, how can we dare to shoulder any responsibility?
But...with Xu Xian's personality, it's impossible for him to a kill anyone.
How did they judge a trial? They are so clueless.
Don't, precious daughter. You can't talk about this carelessly.
Listen to my advice, okay?
There are many good men in this kingdom.
Why must you hang yourself to death on this tree of Xu Xian?
Why did you break these too?
Ultimately, you just won't sacrifice your pharmacy.
You are not going to save him, right?
I'm going to the government to tell them that I caused that person's death. I will die on his behalf.
Don't!
You must not talk carelessly about this. Don't talk nonsense.
It's only just a matter of giving more money.
Sure, I'll give the money.
Go in.
You...
what crime did you commit to be in here?
I didn't commit any crime.
You didn't?
Looks like you were falsely accused too.
This Old Master is too cruel.
I was merely starving and stole two buns
and I was arrested and thrown into jail.
When can we eat?
Keep quiet after you are done eating.
Lord Liang, I know that your death was framed.
The killer is still out there.
It's not that I don't want to help you.
I couldn't do anything.
Lord Liang, it wasn't me!
Speak! Why didn't you speak up for the killer?
I...I was framed, Lord Liang. They didn't want me to talk nonsense.
They? Who are they?
It's the Prime Minister.
Who are you?!
It's you. How could it be you?
I simply used a tongue trick and go you to tell the truth.
Since you know that Xu Xian is innocent, go with me tomorrow to the government to clear his innocence.
No, I can't. I can't go there with you.
Or else...my entire family will face the consequences.
If you force me again, I will knock my head against the wall and die.
Why did the Prime Minister to stop the magistrate from investigating the real killer? What's the reason?
The dead person was his biological son.
This won't this. This matter is abnormal. Something's fishy.
I must think of a way to see Han Wen.
Looks like I underestimated a weak scholar like you.
You saw through me.
You said that you robbed because you were starving
but when the guards delivered the food, you were particularly dissatisfied.
Besides, the scabs on your hand are tough. It means you've held a blade for a long time.
Looks like your Master can't sit and wait. He wants to get rid of me that soon.
Accept death!
Miss Bai, the magistrate has issued a restriction
disallowing anyone to visit Han Wei. I used my connections to obtain the key.
Why are you in such a hurry to see Han Wen?
I realized someone is deliberately trying to harm Han Wen. Hence, I'm here to check.
Miss Bai, this is the prison.
Stop!
Han Wen.
Don't move. How dare you hurt my brother-in-law!
Han Wen.
Stop!
Your hand is hurt.
I'm fine.
It's not safe here.
You should go back quickly.
Tell me why it's not safe here, and why that person wants to kill you.
I read your daily medical records.
Even the entire Li An city did not have that ingredient. Why didn't you point out such an obvious loophole?
I'm sorry. I didn't deliberately hide it from you.
But this matter isn't as simple as you think.
You better go back soon.
It's that Prime Minister Liang, right?
How did you know?
Why is he treating you like this?
If you don't tell me, I'll investigate it myself.
I don't believe that Prime Minister Liang will target you for no reason.
Suzhen, you cannot get involved in this matter.
Listen to me and go back now, alright?
Han Wen.
I thought you would treat me like your own family after all the things we've been through.
It's because I'm treating you like my own family,
that's why I don't want you to get into any danger.
Suzhen, I've promised you already
as long as I can stay with you for even a day
I won't let you get endangered.
So please listen to me.
Go back, alright?
My heart is just like yours.
You worry about me, and I worry about you.
You shouldered all the blame because of me.
If anything happens to you, what could I do?
Han Wen, all my life,
meeting you is the happiest that I've experienced.
You protected me before.
This time, I want to do something for you.
Suzhen.
On this matter, we are really helpless.
Because Lian Mohan
is the person who is responsible for killing my father.
Therefore, even if there is irrefutable evidence,
he will stop me from re-opening the case.
