The Plough Department Of Song Dynasty
Episode 10
There, there, stop crying.
Good girl.
You're right!
It's okay.
You bastard!
You are still holding her!
Let her go!
Well, you...
We desperately worked there,
You've come here to idle, haven't you?
What did you find out?
Get away!
You guys go away, too.
Liu,
Get away from this hooligan!
Don't blame me,
You've gone too far this time.
In such a situation,
you's still promiscuous in sex relations
In my viw, you shouldn't be called Liu Suifeng,
but called Liu Suifeng,
"feng" means the bee.
How do you know,
bee is my infant name.
You!
You have forgotten what I taught you before that
no brute strength can be used in handling cases.
We have to depend on it.
Okay.
So tell me,
what did you find out?
I did find something.
But there are some extra things
I want to confirm.
Come on!
You're always attracted to women.
So you're quibbling now!
There, there.
Harmony is precious.
Now all three of us are here.
Let's go!
Go ahead.
I'll pass.
I haven't questioned a girl
named Chunmei yet.
Now I'm looking for her.
Stop!
I...
There, there.
Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.
Letch!
Prime minister Dou.
It is a small world.
We're all investigating cases,
it's nomal we're in the same direction.
Such a bad prime minister Dou!
Unexpectedly, you are not only black-faced, but also black-hearted.
We were at Mrs. Yang's just now
to fish for information for you.
I didn't expect that you leave us
as soon as you find out something!
We don't belong to one department,
and I have no obligation
to report to you.
The so-called cooperation
exists only at Mrs.Yang's.
You...
Since it is so,
let's solve the case in our own right!
Well, it's for the best. That's exactly what I want!
Don't worry.
I'm sure we can win.
We must investigate into the case carefully
and can't lose!
Why do The Department of Plough and The Court of Judicial Review
come together?
We...
I'm prime minister Dou,
the Judge of The Court of Judicial Review,
coming here for
the case of the death of Yang Daqi.
What did you say?
Yang...
He...
He's dead?
Yes. Doesn't you know the news yet?
I asked for early retirement a month ago.
and fortunately approved by His Majesty.
Yesterday I went to Yang's to say goodbye to my dear brother.
I was packing.
And I haven't been out yet,
how could I get the message?
My dear brother Yang was in good health yesterday,
How could he die?
Bye.
Qiao Yu
I'm leaving.
You'r returning to our hometown?
You said that
if I was satisfied with your present,
I would often patronize your store.
I'd like to say... I'm satisfired, very.
So I'll definetly come back.
Then I will wait for you.
My lord.
You're Quaestor Yang's good friend.
Also the one who saw him before he died.
We came here today,
to ask you about Yang Daqi's situation.
I wonder did he have any enemies?
Quaestor Yang is quite easygoing person.
Very generous.
And gets along with his colleagues.
Although there was some little enmity with someone,
That wouldn't become their motive for murder.
As I know it,
Yang Daqi was quite upset lately.
No one in his mansion dares to ask him the reason.
Minister Yan, do you know the reason?
Minister Yan?
You can tell us anything.
Quaestor Yang had been bothering for something.
That Yan Shiwei.
Who he thinks he is?
Like a hound!
Won't let me go!
He not only spread rumors about me.
And investigated me secretly.
Yang.
No more drinking.
You're drunk.
Yang.
Don't let them bother you.
A man like him.
Just want some spotlight.
He won't succeed in anything!
Don't be upset. Don't be.
That was our conversation last night.
Yan Shiwei and Yang Daqi.
Why did they contract enmity?
People all know about that.
And actually,
It's just Yan Shiwei made trouble out of nothing.
I'd like to hear the detail.
Yang is a quaestor officer.
So does Yan Shiwei.
He had more experience than Yang.
Back then, they're ordered to build Yuqing Temple.
Minister Yang were in charge.
He was promoted as quaestor director.
Later, his majesty went to Mt. Tai to offer sacrifice.
He was in charge of building palace and paving.
He was put in high position again.
Yang Shiwei considers him
as a senior to Yang.
Didn't expect Yang would be valued.
Thus he had grudges.
Always spread rumors to ruin Yang's reputation.
There was a rumor earlier this year,
Said Yang would be promoted as deputy quaestor minister
So Yan Shiwei was even more jealous.
And act further intensified.
So you think,
Yan Shiwei might be the murderer?
That's impossible.
Yang is one who was being slandered.
Is Yang got pushed too hard, and killed him.
That's more likely.
So in your opinion.
What Yan Shiwei said about Yang Dawei
were all fake, right?
That of course.
Yang was a honorable man.
His quaestor account is very clear.
He wouldn't be corrupted.
Minister Yan,
Is there another set of wood sculptures in questor Yang's room?
You're right.
That's exactly the same with the one in his study.
Yang made these by himself.
Is that his hobby?
My brother Yang likes to carve.
I was once a carpenter.
He didn't despise me,
Treated me as his dear friend
So I taught him everything.
This set of sculptures,
It was Yang who gave me as a gift.
That set in his study,
was my gift to him made by myself.
As a souvenir.
So that's some witness of your friendship.
No wonder Yang Daqi put it in a conspicuous position.
But now, I had to face it by my own.
It reminds me of him.
Look.
Yang Daqi is dead.
Now he is pleased.
What did you say?
Yang Daqi is dead?
How did he die?
I don't know about that.
Yan, you also had no idea?
What're you doing?
To deal with the accounts.
I can handle these myself.
If you join me,
I'm afraid there'll be mistakes.
It's him.
Let's go.
See you my lord.
You're exaggerated
I've resigned from office, not some lord anymore.
Don't say that.
I'll see myself off.
Please stay.
See you.
Please.
Financial Department.
May I ask Yan Shiwei is here?
Who is asking?
Why do you want to see him?
I'm judge Dou from Court of Judicial Review.
I want to ask Yan Shiwei about something.
Court of Judicial Review?
Is there anything?
Just answer it!
We're here for Yang Daqi's case.
Tell us.
Where's Yan Shiwei?
He is not here.
You...
Enough, enough.
May I ask where he is now?
How would I know?
Then
We'll be leaving.
Enough. Enough.
Let's go.
Why are still dragging me?
Don't you see he is acting so weird?
They're quaestors.
But I don't own them!
Enough.
They're quaestors
They don't want any trouble either.
You're such a quick temper.
Xingyi.
A favor.
My lord.
Thank you, my lord.
May I ask where is Yan Shiwei, officer Yan?
He gave me some money to buy some meat and wine.
He should be eating them in the storeroom.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Let's go.
Have a look.
What place is this?
Like no one had been here for centuries.
It's the storeroom of financial department.
Where they put the old account books.
My lord. He is over there.
My lord.
That stinks.
Officer Yan.
Nightmare.
It's all my nightmare.
Who are you?
What're you doing here?
We're from Court of Judicial Review.
We're here to ask you about a man.
Who?
Yang Daqi.
Why do you ask me about him?
He commit suicide.
That's none of my business.
I didn't push him to death.
What do you want from me?
We're from the Plough Department.
Please help us.
Officer Yan
Calm down
We're here to ask about the real situation.
Officer Yan,
Have you indicted Yang Daqi several times?
I know you're gonna ask me about that.
Yes.
I did indict Yan Daqi
He perverted justice for a bribe!
Why can't I do that?
But I had nothing to do with his death!
Not me.
I didn't do that to him.
Calm down.
Listen to me.
After Yang Daqi died.
Who pities for him the most?
It's me!
All the people who see me
point fingers on me,
They all dodge from me like I'm some jinx!
Yang Daqi didn't commit suicide.
Someone killed him.
What did you say?
So you don't need to feel guilty
We came here to investigate
whether whose you indict about him was true or not.
Yes!
Of course!
Listen to me.
The Yuqing temple,
Should take fifteen years to build.
Should take three hundred million
But now that only took seven years.
And that took five hundred million!
All the ministers and his majesty
thought that extra money made it faster.
But that's not the truth!
Sacrifice ritual in Mt. Tai, seven million guan.
That's also much more than estimated.
The other officers can't see the truth.
I've spent half of my life in this department.
How could I not know it's not right?
Officer Yan
We believe you.
But can you find out the evidence
of Yang Daqi's corruption?
Listen to me.
Yang...
Leave, leave.
Leave me alone.
No one would believe me now.
Officer Yan.
Could you..?
I don't want to get in too deep.
Have some respect for the dead.
Now Yang Daqi is dead.
If I help you to investigate him.
To declare him guilty after he died.
Tell me,
What will they think of me?
Me, an officer in financial department.
Will I have a space for myself?
Officer Yan.
Go away!
Officer Yan.
Don't be like this
Go away!
Go away.
Leave me alone!
Leave!
Leave me alone.
We went out to investigate.
Now it gets us nowhere.
What shall we do?
What's wrong?
What does our department do?
Handle all the abnormal people
and weird things in the world.
Then tell me.
What's key point of investigating?
Martial arts.
There's always another master
who has better martial arts.
You can't beat them all.
Then what do you think?
Observation!
My lord,
Do you think Yan Shiwei might be the murderer?
What do you think?
I don't think he is.
You're right.
Yan Shiwei did have grudges against Yang Daqi.
But he wouldn't kill him.
Yan Shiwei is trying to indict Yang Daqi.
If he kill him at this time,
That would got him in trouble.
You're right.
A person just came to my mind!
Who is that?
Mrs. Yang.
Mrs. Yang?
Is that possible,
she is the one who killed Yang Daqi?
Liu also said,
In a murderer case.
Love affairs has highest possibility.
Then hatred.
Yang Daqi doesn't have grudges against anyone.
So the most likely, it's because of love affairs.
Mrs. Yang does hide something from us.
But I don't think it's involved.
Anyway.
We must find all the suspicious things.
Xingyi.
You go make inquiries in Yang's mansion.
Including the cooks, and servants who buy vegetables.
See if you can find anything.
Yes.
After we met Yan Shiwei.
I begin to have suspicious of another man.
Who?
Wei Lin?
The prime minister?
You think it might be him?
Build Yuqing Temple, sacrifice ritual at Mt. Tai.
Wei Lin were both in charge.
If Yang Daqi were promoted through those two things.
Then Wei Lin also gained more favor
from his majesty through those two cases.
And in fact,
He is the biggest winner here.
The world is so big.
A son kills his father,
Wife kills her husband.
That's rare.
But that does exists.
Is that possible that
Mrs. Yang got to know some twink somewhere.
So he killed Yang Daqi.
The loyalty to one's husband.
No one would had more loyalty than his loving wife.
In my opinion,
Only those whores,
mistresses,
who entertains others with their beauty
would betray their husband.
Why can't you understand?
I told you,
That's rare things.
But that does exists!
Back then, Mrs. Yang has this very strange expression.
Besides,
Liu also said.
All the key things are all in the details.
The details are the most...
Liu Suifeng. Liu Suifeng.
If he is so brilliant.
Let him teach you!
What's wrong with you?
You're like a little kid.
Changes so quickly.
Yang Shiwei.
My lord.
He is so drunk.
Officer Yan.
I understand the upset being shut outside by colleagues.
I understand you're in such a dilemma.
But you should know it,
Yang Daqi got killed.
If you don't come out to clear it.
Then his death,
people will always blame you for it!
Can you stand people point fingers at you for that?
Can you stand when the historian writes you
as a man who jealous of other's talents
who killed his colleagues for it?
Yang Daqi was killed.
Who would be the murderer?
Maybe someone silenced him.
Build Yuqing Temple
and sacrifice in Mt. Tai.
Even someone had been corrupting money,
That wouldn't be a little officer Yang Daqi!
There must be someone behind him.
Find the one behind him.
You might find the murderer.
But if you want to find that man.
You must find the evidence of Yang Daqi's corruption!
In that case.
You also can clear your name!
Officer Yan.
I'm done talking.
Think about what I said.
I'll be waiting for you in Court of Judicial Review.
My lord.
Why did you talk so much to a drunkard?
Will he remember it?
He was just acting.
Shifu.
Time to get up.
Shifu.
Come out.
Let's go investigate.
Go away!
Wenqu is so good.
Let him be your Shifu.
Are you serious?
You're jealous of him?
So narrow-minded.
I am!
You just found out?
Taisui.
How is your investigation?
You went out and had fun last night?
What fun?
I was investigating cases day and night.
Wash off these scent first
Then tell me you're investigating cases day and night.
You're good.
A great disciple
Like a pain in the ass.
Tell me.
What did you find?
I am suspicious of Mrs. Yang.
Mrs. Yang?
No.
Can't be her.
Why you and Yangguang have the same attitude.
I said Mrs. Yang might be the suspect.
She was so angry.
Said Mrs. Yang is his loving wife.
She wouldn't do that.
Isn't that hilarious?
Even she is his loving wife.
Why couldn't she be the murderer?
I'm not surprised how she acts
Yaoguang run away from home,
because her father neglected her mother.
In her eyes.
All the loving wife is good.
All the other women around his father are evil.
So she wouldn't be happy to hear you say that.
That brat,
left so soon?
Has no patience.
Then why did you say,
Mrs. Yang wouldn't be the murderer?
When I went there, I found she wasn't so sad.
Think about it.
Her husband died.
But her doesn't really feel sad.
Wasn't that suspicious?
That's good.
You know to observe things now.
A promising disciple.
Now tell me,
Why Mrs. Yang couldn't be the murderer?
I also found what you found.
I also has suspicious of Mrs. Yang.
But you forget one person.
Who?
Chunmei.
Who is Chunmei?
A maid.
There're so many maids in his mansion
Who could I not miss Chunmei?
Even there're hundreds of maids in Yang's mansion.
But that night,
only she served Yang Daqi to bed.
You remind me of one thing.
Mrs. Yang did mentioned Chunmei.
But...
She is just a maid who serves tea.
Mrs. Yang mentioned her once.
So you neglected it.
All the criminals would be very cautious.
Unless they don't need to.
The clues are usually in the trifles.
Or in someone who looks doesn't matter at all.
My lord.
When will you give me a title?
No rush.
It's close.
I think
You wouldn't do that unless your wife is dead.
You... why you...
What is the thing which has to wait till I died?
Honey, honey.
That's a mistake.
Raise your face.
Raise your face!
Are you seducing my husband by this foxy face?
My lady.
My lady, have mercy.
Have mercy.
My lady.
Since you like to seduce people.
Then I'll send you to a place
where you can play your tricks!
My lady.
Butler.
Drag her out
Sell her to the cheapest brothel!
Yes, my lady.
Move.
My lord, help!
Enough!
Let go!
Yang Daqi.
What did you say?
Honey.
Let go of Chunmei.
I want to
make her as my mistress.
Yang Daqi.
When you had nothing.
What did you promise me?
You're so poor.
Can't afford to go to school.
I sold all my dowry to pay for your school.
Yes.
You came to the capital to do exam.
I gave up my dignity
asked my mother for money,
borrowed enough money to send you to capital.
Have you forgot them all?
Honey.
All these years.
I've always been listening to you.
What about her?
She. She. Hse.
You shameless ungrateful bastard!
You tell me!
Tell me!
Enough!
After that,
He broke Mrs. Yang's heart.
So she lives in the back.
Like she is some stranger to Yang Daqi.
Yang Daqi maybe guilty.
Maybe regret.
He didn't name Chunmei as his mistress.
Only let her serve him by his side.
So although Mrs. Yang and him aren't close.
But they've been together for so many years.
She has no reason to kill him.
Besides, she would rather kill Chunmei than him.
Yes.
Where did you get those information?
Are you serious?
Don't you remember?
Yesterday, I talked to all the maids in Yang's mansion.
I went all the places
Found that thing about Chunmei
But doesn't find Chunmei.
So I went to look for her.
Mrs. Yang get rid of Chunmei so quickly?
That's not rare in those big mansions.
The lord favors some maids.
His wife couldn't do anything.
But once the man dies,
The lady in the house has tolerated him for many years.
She would get rid of that pain in the ass immediately.
I feel so pity for her.
When I arrived,
Their butler has called the madam of the brothel.
Wanna sell Chunmei.
I see.
You saved Chumnei.
She couldn't thank you enough,
So she told you everything.
Not only found Mrs. Yang couldn't be the murderer
to kill Yang Daqi.
I also confirmed one thing.
What was that?
Before Yang Daqi died,
He was upsetting for one thing.
Someone sue him for corruption!
You also know that?
We went to see Yan Zheng.
Already found out,
What did Yan Zheng say?
Yan Zheng said before Yang Daqi died,
he was upsetting about Yan Shiwei's false accusation.
That's not what I heard.
