Episode 15
Pay back the money.
Excuse me. Please let me pass. Please let me pass.
Swindler. Pay back the money.
Xiao Qing?
Pay us back the money.
Older Sister, you and Master Xu have made up?
- It's them. - It's really her younger sister.
But they both seem to be a couple, or—
My little sister is mischievous and likes to play tricks on others.
Folks, it's indeed very offensive.
Xiao Qing, apologize to all of them quickly.
I am sorry.
To extend our apology to you all, these money will be returned to all of you.
Not only that, you all can get double of the money back.
Just regard it as the compensation.
Xiao Qing, go.

Older Sister, I'm so sorry!
I wasn't able to help you earn more money.
I've made more trouble for you both instead.
Xiao Qing, you constantly worry about me, how can I blame you?
I'm so ashamed.
I'm the one to take the blame. My incompetence put you both into trouble.
But don't worry, tomorrow I'll go visit a few more medical halls, I...
It's useless. You've no idea that those medical—
Husband, I know, practise medicine in order to help people is always your ambition.
If that's the case, why don't you start your own clinic?
In this way, you'll be able to help more people.
There's something you don't know, Lin'an is under the control of the emperor.
It's very expensive to rent a place to start a clinic.
Now, I'm so poor—
If husband and wife are of one mind, the sharpness can cut through metal.
You are always so intelligent, why now you're getting yourself into a blind alley.
You want to practise medicine, but you don't need to reach the goal in just one step.
You have the skill, you can practise medicine wherever you are.
I indeed profit more from one consultation with you than from ten-years of reading.
Thank you, my wife, for showing me how to get onto the right path.
You're teasing me again.
He doesn't want to use my money.
Looks like I can only find other ways to help him raise the money,
and set up his clinic as soon as possible.
Wife, thank you for the trouble you've taken.
Pretty?
The embroidered bird looks so realistic, you're really clever and skillful.
Who asked you about that? I meant...
Am I pretty?
What are you doing? Don't be impolite.
Wife, only after meeting you that I understand
what it means by "Her beauty causes the downfalls of cities and countries."
Glib-tongued.
Every word I said was the truth, absolutely no lies.
It's all because today I've used the new rouge.
This Heaven Fragrance Cream, I guarantee that it will turn all girls into national beauties.
Wife, you're really the cleverest woman I've ever seen in this world.
Being able to marry you is the fortune I earned from my previous life.
This thing, I created it by using over ten different kinds of flower and fruit juice,
then mixed and matched with medicinal herbs.
What a lovely fragrance!
Annoying!
Go to the pharmacy, buy some huoxiang (an herb), dried orange peel, ginger, and sweet basil to make a soup.
Remember, don't catch a cold again.
Thank you, Physician Xu.
Physician Xu.
Do you still have any more of those Heaven Fragrance Cream?
Last time, my wife used it once.
Just one use, she looks ten years younger.
She kept thinking about it.
She reminded me to bring her some more this time.
The Heaven Fragrance Cream are selling quick these days.
It's out of stock now, come back tomorrow.
- So we've agreed on this. - Don't worry.
I'm prepaying you now.
- Please keep a couple more for me. - Thank you!
Thank you.
- Husband, you've worked hard. - Wife.
Are there a lot of patients today?
More than before.
The rouge you made are all sold out this morning.
even the sachets that sold to the Red Drunken Face
Everyone asked which embroidery lady sewed it.
They wanted to order clothes from you.
Really?
That's really good! We've raised enough money.
I believe we can set up the clinic by the end of the month.
You took embroidery lessons from my sister less than a month.
Your embroidery skill has already reached the acme of perfection.
Although I'm powerless, I can't let you work so hard to earn the money.
Therefore, I refused the lady who asked for the garment.
You've calluses on your palms. You've endured hardships.
You're the one who suffers, you work very hard all day long.
You have to work here on the street and disdained by others. This is truly hard.
I really respect you both.
Love and kindness can even feed a person.
I'm hungry and my stomach is growling.
Master, Madam, can we eat now?
You didn't eat yet?
Didn't I tell you to deliver me meals after you ate?
She wouldn't do that. She cares about you more than herself.
Xiao Qing.
Just a simple meal, hope you don't mind.
Don't say that. Many thanks for the trouble you've taken.
In my eyes, these are not weak tea and unrefined food. There's love in them.
Aren't these two dishes pear blossoms lightly white willow deeply blue
flower cluster from the willow tree are flying all over the city?
Based on what you said, these two dishes are...
Over the misty paddy fields the egrets freely fly. In the shaded woods the orioles warble.
Excellent! You're so talented!
Let's eat now.
Evil doer, who are you? You dare to be so preposterous?!
I'm you and you are me.
You do not fear the evil, do not desire women.
- Why don't you take a look at yourself? - You are spouting nonsense.
Break it!
I already said that I'm you and you are me.
Do you want to kill yourself?
I'm not in you. I'm in your heart.
[Meditation ]
Temple Master, Master left this.
He told me to give it to you.
Fa Hai, this is the secret treasure of the Jishan Temple.
It can see through every illusion..
and help you grasp the cause and effects of karma.
Take this to the human world.
I wish you will eradicate all your earthly desires soon
and reach nirvana.
South Mountain Zhao Territory
Mother, Father, I'm married.
Suzhen is a lovely and elegant lady. We love each other.
Starting from today, you don't need to worry about me again.
Father, Mother.
Don't worry.
I will take good care of Hanwen.
My Lord, please restrain your sadness.
The wind is strong here. We should go back early.
There will come a day,
I will let Xu Xian be buried with you.
Stop the sedan.
Xu Xian.
Aren't you giving your greetings when you see the Prime Minister?
Greetings, Prime Minister.
Did you visit your parents?
Yes.
No need to go through all that hassle.
I will send you down there to be reunited with your family.
Also, your newly wedded wife,
my eldest son liked her very much.
I will send her down to serve him soon.
Look after yourself.
Lord.
Lord, are you okay?
I'm fine. It's just a fall.
Son, blame me
for being useless for letting the corrupted censor confiscate the land.
I couldn't pay for your illness
for letting the elder see the young one off.
It's because we have parasitic officials like Prime Minister Liang to corrode the royal court,
that's why there are so many tragic families.
If one can't be a good minister, one can be a good physician.
Let's name our medical hall "Baihe Hall".
Whether they are rich or poor people, they will receive treatments.
They will have a peaceful good life from then on.
Wife, you are very sensible.
[ Baihe Hall ]
[ Sage Doctor Budha Heart ]
Come, place it here.
Husband, that is were you will treat the patients.
You are really organizing it very well.
Wife, let's go and take a look at the pharmacy.
Xiao Qing, continue with what you are doing.
It's not bad.
- Lord. - So how?
I already asked around. Xu Xian set up a store in Lin'an city.
He's preparing to open a medical hall soon.
I have never failed
till I encounter Xu Huairen.
The origin of my son's death is not clear.
Whereas, his son still exists.
I have a plan.
It's leprosy. She has leprosy.
Isn't this a newly opened medical hall?
Can you let my wife be treated for her illness?
This is leprosy. What can it be cured?
People in my village who contracted this disease were burned to death.
Leave now.
- Don't harm us. - What's going on?
Old couple, it's you.
Come in now. My husband will treat you.
Come.
No. This medical hall is accepting patients with this disease. What will happen to us?
If this is not treated well, it will become infectious.
Let's leave now.
Let's leave.
- Did you do a good job? - Lord, don't worry.
What I found are those old people without any children
and let them be infected with leprosy.
By then, all the medical halls in Lin'an won't accept them. They can only go to the newly set up medical hall, Baihe Hall.
- Will Xu Xian be there? - He will.
I already checked. Only Xu Xian in Lin'an city is the boldest in using medicines.
When he was at Jishi Hall, he brought up treatments of leprosy by using arsenic trioxide.
It's just that, the shopkeeper didn't allow him to do that.
This is even better.
We will just wait to see the next act.
Grandmother, I can cure your disease.
It's just that we need to use arsenic trioxide.
But it's very potent
and is poisonous. Do you dare to let me treat you with this?
As long as there's a slightest hope,
I dare to try another medicine.
Arsenic trioxide? I will drink it too.
You don't need to drink it.
Grandmother, here's the medicine.
Alright.
Apply this medicine on the affected areas daily.
Continue this for a month and the symptoms will be gone.
But remember this, you must not consume it.
Take care.
Thank you, Physician Xu.
- Get up now. - Thank you, Madam Bai.
Thank you.
Take care.
Husband, you seem worried and perplex. Did you find something odd?
Do you remember?
A few days ago, that old lady was well.
Why did she suddenly contracted leprosy today?
Here.
Old Lady, are you hungry?
This is freshly cooked steamed bun. Eat it now.
Thank you.
- Why aren't you eating? - Your steamed bun is very fragrant.
I will leave it for my husband to eat.
Grandmother.
This steamed bun is for you to eat. Just eat it!
Eat it!
Remember, don't eat spicy foods.
Let's go.
- What's going on? Baihe Hall harmed someone.
- Take him away! - Yes.
Stop.
How can you casually arrest someone?
Casually arrest someone? Let me ask you.
A few days ago, you treated
- an old woman. - That's right.
After consulting you a few days ago,
she died today.
How is that possible? Although she has leprosy but it's not a life threatening disease.
That's right. You have to tell Doctor Xu
What did this old woman died of?
Doctor Xu, after I investigated the corpse
I discovered she was bleeding from all orifices. Her stomach was damaged.
She was asphyxiated before death.
so I'm certain that he died because of poison.
Yes, it was arsenic trioxide.
Xu Xian talked big and said that arsenic trioxide can cure leprosy.
He must have used it inappropriately and caused the death of the old woman.
What I prescribed was arsenic trioxide
but it was only a small dosage. It's for external application and not for consumption.
It won't cause any death.
You admitted that you used arsenic trioxide.
Xu Xian caused a patient to die
by using poison to harm a person's life.
- Someone! Arrest him. - Yes!
Seal up Baihe Hall!
- Husband. - Wife.
Wife!
Sister, what's going on?
My husband and I expected this
but who would of known that they would be like this.
They are willing to kill just to harm my husband. They are really ruthless.
Then what should we do now?
Let's go to the court.
Mighty!
Xu Xian, do you confess to your crime?
I don't know what the crime is.
You seek to raise your reputation and use the patients to try out new medicine
and caused a patient to die. This is a death penalty.
I measured the dosage of the medicine. It's impossible to cause any death.
You have a clever tongue.
You also can't deny that
she died from the poisoning of your prescribed arsenic trioxide.
Coroner, how did you analyse that this old woman died from poisoning of arsenic trioxide?
I judged it from her face and tongue.
It's confirmed that the signs are from poisoning.
Consumption of poison?
This is strange.
The arsenic trioxide that I gave to the old woman, it was for external application and not consumption.
You said that she died from taking it? This is strange.
Lord, please investigate wisely.
Whether it's for external application or consumption,
you don't have the final say.
The dead can't testify now.
Xu Xian, I advise you to be truthful
and confess now lest you suffer from physical pain.
Prime Minister is right.
Men, torture him.
Lord, from Year 1131 to 1162, failure of justice prevailed.
Emperor Gaozong has decreed that, to prevent officials seeking to build up their records,
it is forbidden to use torture in the first questioning.
It is also forbidden to force the suspect to sign a confession. Several hundred wrongful convictions were reversed in the year he issued the decree.
All the wrongful convictions were resulted from harsh tortures.
This is my first time at trial. According to the law, I can't be tortured.
What a sharp tongue.
Magistrate of Lin'an, it seems like in the eyes of this person,
you will just force tortures to get a confession.
How dare you! You dare to yell in court?
Officials have their specific duties to manage national affairs.
Regarding torture, every location has their government offices.
Even if you want to elevate the case, it should be submitted to the Ministry of Justice.
Based on what I know. Prime Minister Liang is not in charge of the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Enforcement.
You also do not come from the law and order background.
If Prime Minster Liang insists on enforcing this, it's against the law.
Xu Xian, you still refused to tell the truth?!
Lord, he has been falsely accused.
Lord, we have a witness.
Dear, you died a horrible death.
Who are you?
Lord, I'm her husband.
I'm here to testify for Physician Xu!
Physician Xu was falsely accused.
How do you know that Xu Xian is not a murderer?
Because my wife didn't use Physician Xu's medicine!
How could she has been poisoned?!
I have leprosy too.
My wife couldn't see it. I was afraid that she would worry.
Hence, I have been hiding it from her.
Physician Xu said there was arsenic trioxide in the medicine.
I didn't dare to let my wife use it.
I secretly tried the medicine.
I only used this medicine on myself.
Take a look.
The area where I used the medicine, it has totally been cured.
Lord, Physician Xu used the prescribed amount for the medicine to treat my wife.
I was afraid that the medicine was not enough and I secretly used only a bit.
Hence, the medicine that Physician Xu gave us, I still have some balance of it.
Whether it's enough to poison someone,
Lord, try it and you will know.
Lord, the bad person thought that my wife used Physician Xu's medicine.
That's why he poisoned her
to frame Physician Xu.
Poisoned her?
That's right. That night,
I wanted to hide from my wife that I was trying the medicine. Hence, I left for a while.
When I came back, I saw a person
struggling with my wife.
Stop!
Who was it?
It's him!
You are slandering me. I don't have any grudges with you. Why would I poison her?
That night, I saw you!
My wife's mouth was injured and she has blood on her fingers.
I believe it's you who forced my wife to eat the steamed bun.
My wife fought for her life and held on to your hands.
You are still denying it?
Lord, please judge for me.
Why don't we examine his hands?
This...
Look, he has injuries on his hands.
Lord.
Qinsan, as a staff of the Liang Manor, you even dared to poison her?
You are very bold!
Lord, I was momentarily confused.
Qinsan took the blame alone.
Although we know that Prime Minister Liang did this but we couldn't do anything.
He suffered a heavy loss
and is badly hurt too.
This hatred has implicated these innocent people.
The old man and old woman have such a good relationship.
He's alone now. It must very hard for him to accept it.
But looking at it, in this world, the deeper the love, the more painful it is.
In this world, no one can be together forever.
But whoever leaves first, at least, there are love and good memories left.
Life is short and the days are not that many.
We should treasure every day together.
Wife, I'm very blessed.
We didn't waste a lot of time.
[ Baihe Hall ]
Come, cheers!
It has been tough for everyone.
Our revenue for this month is double that of last month.
Don't decline this money.
Regard this as just my small gesture.
Okay, these are mine.
Who gives you the right?!
Based on the rights that I'm your boss. I will keep this safe for you!
If you have the substance, some and get it!
Stop running away!
Let's eat.
Coming.
Customer, please take care.
Come again.
Boss, the regular.
Give me a bottle of Autumn Dew.
Miss, you came too late.
This is the last bottle of Autumn Dew.
I saw this wine first.
Young lady, don't think that this wine is aromatic. Frankly, it's very strong.
If you want to try something new, why don't you try that peach blossom wine?
The taste is sweet and nice. You won't get drunk.
Come off it. That wine is not that aromatic. It's only for kids.
I don't care. This is mine.
Miss, stop feeling wronged and act rashly with me.
If this fine wine meets the wrong person, it's a total waste and insult.
Let me tell you. In Lin'an, when discussing the grade of wines, I'm the best. No one else will dare to say he's the best.
If I'm not worthy of this wine, who would then?
You talked big. Let me ask you then.
In Lin'an City, where can you find the most intoxicating Yuhang wine?
Of course it's the Hundred Mile Fragrance from Mistress Zhu at Black Pearl Harbor.
Just drink one cup, you'll feel the fragrance linger at the tip of your tongue,
and you won't forget the taste.
You think Bali Xiang is the best too?
Of course, the fragrant smell spread 100 li.
Then... what about Tusu wine? Where do you like the best?
The Drunken Celestial from Lion's Alley at Qinghe Lane. It's a century old shop with a well-deserved reputation.
Do you know why their Tusu wine is the best?
because the founder of the family operated a medical hall and they have a secret formula.
That's right.
Although the old Qian family added herbs into the wine,
but it has not bitter taste at all. The flavor is superb.
Their ten-year Tusu must be sealed for ten years before opening.
That taste, when you take a sip,
you'll feel like a god.
- You drank it before? - Of course.
I, Zhang Yutang, am the Little Wine Fairy of Lin'an.
I usually deliver goods for Boss Qian.
He'll give me a cask of ten-year Tusu every year.
- W-What are you doing? - Older Brother, let'st talk.
Give me some ten-year Tusu to try.
I will treat you to this Autumn Dew.
Fine, it's a pact.
Let's drink till we are drunk today.
Let's drink till we are drunk.
Physician Xu, it's such a good herb.
Are you still not satisfied?
Yes, this is Gentian roots but it's not from the Eastern region.
This yellow-white colored roots heart's middle section
It only grows at foggy area with heavy rainfall.
If I didn't see wrongly,
This should be Gentiana Rigescens from Qian Province.
Currently, what Lin'an city uses,
they are mostly Gentiana rigescens.
Must you insist on buying those from the Eastern region?
Physician Xu, none of the rest of the herbs are to your liking?
Let's go.
Husband, do you feel that their medicines are not good enough?
Their herbs are most doubtful
but those tiger bones and bear gall bladders are quality stuff.
But the results for these can be replaced by herbs.
I want to buy less of those medicines made from animals to reduce killings.
The Budhist Scripture says that all life forms contain the Budha's wisdom and virtue.
It took me a thousand years of cultivation to understand.
I didn't expect that, before he reaches the path of cultivation,
but he has such a merciful heart toward all lives.
Indeed, I didn't misjudge him.
They are not honest in their business dealings. I don't want to deal with them again.
But they are the biggest medicine retailer in Lin'an.
That's not difficult at all. You only have to post a list of the needed ingredients outside the pharmacy.
There are so many retailers in Lin'an. If we visit them, we can naturally make a deal.
Do we need to reply on dishonest retailers?
Wife, you are right. I'm going to write now.
- To the last drop. - To the last drop.
This Get One Drunk Restaurant, although it is small
But this Autumn White Dew Wine fully justified it's reputation.
That's right.
With the right drinking partner, even a thousand drinks aren't enough. This good wine
has met its perfect final destination in us.
Well said, Miss!
You are cultured, unlike unrefined people like me.
I often don't say what I mean.
You are being humble. Let me tell you, I like unrefined people.
Those educated and cultured people are so disgusting.
Buddy, down (the wine), down, down!
Down!
Oh yes, how do you know Zuei Kexian's boss?
You don't look like one who's in the wine business.
I used to gather herbs in the mountain
and accidentally discovered a rare herb.
I supplied it to Boss Qian.
What a coincidence. My family runs a medical hall too.
Did you hear of the newly established Baihe Hall?
It's our family business.
From now on, when you have good wine, have good medicine, don't forget me.
- Remember or not? - No problem.
From now on, we become brothers!
- Sisters! - What sisters? Brothers!
Brothers! Brothers, brothers, brothers.
You are my good friend. I definitely want to maintain the friendship with you.
Down to the last drop!
- Down to the last drop. - Down to the last drop.
[ Baihe Hall ]
List of herbs required and asking prices ]
Excuse me. Let me through.
Baihe Hall will pay well for these herbs.
The price of each herb is written there.
I have this.
That's right.
It's a fair trade. - Isn't this Xiao Qing's business?
If you need to see doctor, please wait. I'm busy.
Xiao Qing?
Zhang Yutang? You came!
Yes. I heard you are acquiring herbs. I know you are a person who keeps your words.
I have good stuff here. You are the first person I thought of.
What good stuff? Show me now.
Just wait.
- What is it? - It's flat-neck snake's gall bladder.
There aren't any more. This is the only strand left.
Take it away. The herbs that we want are written on the entrance. Go take a look.
I...I can't read and write.
And I wanted to show you the flat-neck snake's gall bladder first because it's rare.
I have other medicinal stuff. Wait for a moment.
Snake skin.
These are snake bones.
I also have garter snake,
Mandarin rat snake, gall bladder of Indo-Chinese snake,
Although these are not rare but they expensive too.
This is all I have.
Miss Xiao Qing, why are you so pale?
Your eyes are red too.
You must have drank too much and your body's heaty. Please wait.
Miss Xiao Qing, I just caught this at noon. It's fresh gall bladder of a green snake.
It's for detoxifying heatiness.
