Xiao Yi.
The front part is magnificent while the back is rotten to the core.
This is Pingkang Street.
This is Chang'an.
You should visit the brothel to find information about a whoremonger.
Why did we come to this filthy place?
They roll in the mud while you sit in the temple.
Because you are born in a better family.
We are yet to be sure who's the filthier party here.
You have grudge against the temple.
Xiao Yi. Hurry up.
Give way, please.
-Xiao Yi. -Xiao Yi.
-Sir Yi. Come and have a seat. -Don't go, Sir.
Officer. Come and have a drink.
Don't worry. I'm not here today to check on you.
Who is it? Who has the nerve to cause trouble here?
Come over here.
Leader Zhang.
You are working here now?
I want to meet your banker.
Alright, Commander.
He is your spy too?
From now on, be careful when you speak.
A careless comment can lead to the loss of many lives.
" The Longest Day in Chang'an "
Episode 6
This is another part of Chang'an.
The part without justice and without law.
Those who can survive here are all villains.
Even the officials can't penetrate this place.
For the majority, this place is the Hell Realm.
Why are you looking so nervous?
Who is the person that we are going to meet later?
The people here call him Ge Lao.
He was sold into Chang'an during the 705's era.
At first, he works as a slave in the Vice Minister Ge's manor.
Then, he was sold to a brothel as servant.
He is a Kunlun slave.
What's so scary about Kunlun slave? All the Kunlun slaves in Chang'an...
are honest and docile. If you want him...
Even if you want him dead,
he won't protest.
Is it something to be proud of to ask a person...
to die without any reasons?
Not everybody's life is the same.
I won. Give me the money.
Again.
This is Chang'an.
Ge Lao is different from other Kunlun slaves.
He is an expert in guessing others' thoughts.
He knows what you want and what are you afraid of.
We are here.
He stayed in the brothel for two years. Somehow, he managed...
to make his master give him immunity and set him free from slavery.
And from then on, he had build this Chang'an Underworld.
All the ladies in Pingkang Street are his eyes and ears.
He knows every dark secret that lurks in...
the city of Chang'an.
He's just an informant.
He sells the information and I buy it.
We just need to pay. What's so scary about it?
He doesn't want money.
He always asked for the most important thing of yours.
He's here.
Ge Lao.
How are you?
A dead man is not welcomed here.
I'm still very much alive.
I had crashed your casino in front.
I'm competing with time today. So, I have nothing for you.
I can only compensate you with an apology.
Alright.
This is very rare.
An apology from the King of Hell is very expensive.
Give it to me straight.
What do you want from me?
I want to find a person.
He is an outsider named Long Bo.
I want to know where he got this from...
and which ladies he usually went to.
I need to find those ladies at once in order to locate him.
Name me a price.
Give him a moment.
-You'll get your information. -You haven't told me the price.
Commander Zhang.
Are you pressing for time?
Everything is ready.
Finally, we managed to get here on time. This is good.
We had been galloping here all the way from Yan.
Look at these horses. They are exhausted.
Find a place to unload the goods quickly so that they can rest.
I think you are the one looking forward for the rest.
Of course.
After they check the goods and you get the receipt,
we'll find a good bathhouse to soak ourselves in...
and relax our tense bodies.
After that, I have to go to the Western District...
to buy some souvenirs for my wife.
And then, we'll prepare a pot of high quality energy drinks,
find an elevated place and drink while we enjoy the lantern carnival.
And this will be a perfect day.
You and your perfect day. Alright. Let's send in the goods first.
Sure.
-Su Transport? -Yes.
-Excuse me... -Welcome.
Alright. Come in, everyone.
Mister. Luckily, I had completed this task.
None of the goods are missing and we are on time as well.
We managed to get them here on the day of Lantern Festival itself.
The compound is small.
Please park your carriages closely to each other.
Don't worry, transport is the basic skill of Su Transport.
Nothing will go wrong.
This mint leaf is a top-quality leaf from Jianghuai.
How should I address you?
Long Bo.
-Your family name is Long? -Yes.
Did you encounter any troubles when you come in to the city?
Su Transport is in operation all year long.
We are very close with the customs here.
So, we had cleared the customs in record time.
We declared our goods in the morning and we were cleared within two hours.
All the documents are here.
Nothing is amiss.
Did they check the goods?
Unless you are of noble-ranking, or else, it can't be avoided.
But we had kept an eye on them for the whole process.
They checked some of the goods, poked them with spears and resealed it.
By the way,
the things that you asked for are not illegal or controlled goods.
What kind of a problem will there be?
Finally, the soul of...
Jahannum-dhool is here.
What soul?
I got the information.
This Token of Gratitude...
belongs to Zhao Troops of The Base Quarter.
Long Bo went there for the first time half year ago.
He will go there every ten days.
And he always looked for the same woman, Tong Er.
Did he bring her out or did he stay?
Long Bo has a skeleton closet.
He wouldn't dare to stay in her house.
Where is Tong Er now?
She found true love...
and she ran away with a scholar yesterday.
Nothing can...
escape you.
Mister.
Do you want to have a bath?
" Prostitute, Zhi "
Have you apply the medicinal cream today?
I won't be able to get well.
You should get your face fixed quickly. I still need you...
to pry the secrets from high-ranking clients.
You hate the court.
Don't you?
No.
Chang'an has given me glory.
But you are still not satisfied.
Where is Tong Er?
Hear the cries...
of the flute.
Qin Er woke up from her dream...
and saw a bright moon atop of her manor.
Shut up!
The moon atop of the manor...
Let go of Mister Qin. This is my idea.
Is this yours?
Listen to him. It might be beneficial to you.
On the second petal at the top left of the lotus,
if there are two nail markings,
then it's mine.
You had given it to a man named Long Bo?
He is a client.
You are the one in my heart.
Where did he bring you to?
Do you mind about it?
I don't.
Should I tell him?
This is as far as the free information goes.
Now, it's time for me to negotiate with Commander Zhang.
What do you want?
You are a dead man. But you came here to get information...
about a whoremonger from a lowly woman.
It means that this person is very important.
You should exchange this information with something valuable.
What do you want?
Name.
Brothers. Be careful with the goods.
Be deft.
-Is it burning hot yet? -It is!
Keep your eyes open.
-Unload the goods! -Alright!
What kind of business are you in?
-We'll depart in two hours' time. -Roger that!
Two hours are too long. The authorities will be here.
They won't be able to come here.
You don't know Chang'an very well.
-Stop right there. -Stop right there.
According to the 312 Act...
of The Tang Code,
those who attacked an officer on duty will be jailed for one year.
It'll be considered as an attack...
if you touch them.
And you'll have to...
go into jail for a year.
When is Counsellor Lin going to see me?
Right Counsellor wants you to wait.
I can wait but the people of Chang'an can't.
Right Counsellor wants you to wait.
For how long?
I don't know.
The late noon has passed!
It's going to be one o'clock soon.
One hour has passed.
How's the investigation on the Wolven Squad?
Where is Chief Li?
-How did the investigation go? -Energetic people...
-too ill-tempered. -Useless bunch!
How did the investigation go?
Good for nothing! Such a useless bunch!
Your supervisor is not here. This is the offence of misconduct of duty.
She's here, giving out commands from the safe house.
Why didn't you kneel?
Come and have a seat to calm down yourself.
Good for nothing. Such a useless bunch.
You can't even find a clue.
Move aside.
-Move aside! -No!
-Who are you? -Chief Li's servant.
-Kneel. -This is Chief Li's order.
This is the core of Peacekeeper Corps.
In order to prevent secret information leakage,
outsiders are not allowed to enter.
Chief Li is just doing his duty.
You are going against a superior.
I can sell you away.
Kneel.
Tell your master that...
he still has one hour's time.
If he has no clue still,
he has to give up his power.
It's just a name.
Tell me and we can save both of our time.
What name?
I've been left to rot in the death cell for half a year.
I no longer have anybody who works for me here.
A tiger retains it's might even if it's dead.
Your people never forgot about you.
Or else, they wouldn't dare to stay here...
to leak out my secrets to Wannian County.
Are you asking Commander Zhang to betray the government's spy?
You think too much.
Do you know the duty of a spy?
They are in constant worry about their identity being leaked out...
and thus, risking his and his family's lives.
Unless they really trust their superior,
or else, nobody is willing to be a spy.
You have put a lot of spies here.
I'll give you the lead you want.
You just need to tell me a name.
It's a bargain.
It's me.
Are you well, Commander Zhang?
-Yes. -Good then.
Are you satisfied now?
No.
He did it willingly.
It doesn't count.
I want you to tell me a name.
Let's go.
If you go back. His death will be a waste.
Kill Tong Er now.
Somebody is trying to take her from me.
I've guessed correctly.
I won't be satisfied with just a name...
of a useless person.
I want that man.
He Village.
I don't understand.
I used to have the most famous girl in Pingkang Street.
She had tamed a man before.
That man has the key to the garage...
of Guo Li Shi's private manor.
He spent two years' time...
to replace the valuables and gold instruments from the garage.
And then, he buried them one by one in a place.
You are making up a story.
Only the royalty can use gold instruments.
General Guo Li Shi has always been loyal to His Majesty.
He never oversteps his authority or involves in corruption.
Where did the gold come from?
These 1356 gold instruments...
represent the best workmanship of the Great Tang.
They are the most beautiful thing in the world.
If I can get my hands on them,
I'll have one of Guo Li Shi's weakness.
Can you understand...
how much I wanted that?
Half a year ago, this man felt that he had enough money...
to flee to a faraway place with my girl.
They ran the whole night towards the place where he buried the treasures.
But that man has only ever mentioned about...
He Village.
Two words.
But there is no such village around Chang'an.
So,
I had sent 12 of my best men to follow them in secret.
But they were taken out one by one during the journey,
including my best girl...
and that robber boy of hers.
I've waited two years...
for nothing!
Do you know that feelings of losing your most important hope?
I know.
I want to know who that person is!
Name!
It's not my man.
Then we are done.
You can leave now.
He Village is my case.
As long as you tell me his name,
I'll kill him myself.
Brother.
I'll drink with you again in the underworld.
I'll listen to your story and...
-I'll be your spy in the next life. -Zhang Xiao Jing.
It's against law to betray spy. You'll be decapitated. Don't drag me down.
There's nothing more important than millions of life in Chang'an today!
You can't break the law!
If we couldn't get any clues within the next hour,
nobody will be able to save Chang'an!
-Zhang Xiao Jing! -I don't care about the useless rules!
Name!
Don't...
make the wrong choice.
-Xiao Yi! -Yes, Commander.
It's him.
Give it back to me.
This is the first gold piece that I've earned in Chang'an.
I don't have a son.
I have a father.
He died during a battle in Longyou Street of Shicheng County.
Thank you for taking care of me.
You are a wolf in sheep's skin.
I want you to give up earlier.
Is that so?
You want me to give up and be a slave again?
I want to take care of you into your old age.
It's too tiring for you to continue your battle in this place...
when you are old.
You won't understand.
People who have to fend for themselves won't get old.
Greetings from a sleuth-hound of Wannian County,
Lin Xiao Yi.
Are you satisfied...
with my work so far?
Yes, I do.
Please grant me my death.
I've already given you...
the name you want.
What a waste.
If he's in my hand,
he'll suffer for at least three days before he dies.
It's your turn.
I've never seen a person who won't arouse any suspicion by nature.
He is a genius.
He's still so young.
If he grows to your age,
I might fear him a lot. He'll be stronger than you.
He doesn't have the chance now.
To make such a good man loyal to you.
How did you do it? Teach me.
Make him respect you.
Make him trust you.
Make him think that...
he can be a good person like you too.
A good person.
Are you a good person?
I was never a good person.
As long as I can finish my task,
I can be anybody.
You can tell me now.
Ge Lao. Make her talk.
I regret that the price I asked for is too low.
Can you see?
Xiao Yi's eyes are so big and round.
So innocent and pure.
This is the reason he managed to fool me.
What else do you want?
I want Xiao Yi's eyes as souvenirs.
Take them out for me.
What do you actually want?
I love to see people make choices.
In Chang'an, nobody thinks that they are a bad person.
If one has to make a choice,
will he protect his most precious thing or be a good man?
You can always get interesting results.
I've seen it for many years.
Nothing ever surprises me. Same goes for you.
Don't touch her!
Kunlun scum.
Useless man!
It's your turn to make a choice.
Do you want your statement or his eyes?
Zhang Xiao Jing.
He has given his life to you.
Even if you take out his eyes,
it'll be an honour to him.
Don't hesitate.
Do it.
This for Xiao Yi's body as whole.
So unfortunate.
I heard that the King of Hell is extremely conceited...
and is as ruthless as the demon itself.
And that's how you frighten the bad people and achieve greatness.
But you...
are under my thumb every step of the way today.
I'm very disappointed.
Zhang Xiao Jing.
Even if you can only live for a day, I hope that you'll live as you were...
without a care of the world.
Tell me.
I can fulfil any of your request right now.
I can even get you out from Chang'an if you want.
Make her speak.
Don't regret it.
I don't always listen...
to Ge Lao's orders.
And you can't force me as well.
-I saw a very exhausted man. -Where did Long Bo bring you?
And I saw...
a person who looks very fierce...
but is with a soft heart.
He wants to bawl his eyes out.
-But he looks like he... -Where did Long Bo bring you?
Let me sing you a song.
This song...
is sung by that person you are looking for.
But I can only sing it to you alone.
Please send the rest away, Ge Lao.
Is it painful?
You came right to us after you entered the city, right?
Of course. We can't make our customers wait.
Did anybody in Chang'an know that you are here?
No. After we unload the goods and get the rest of the payment,
we'll conclude this transaction with the middleman.
Continue with your work. We'll go back now. We keep our clients' secret.
Let's go, brothers.
The day is too short.
A hundred year is over in a blink of an eye.
The Heaven is vast.
And this life full of calamities is too long.
Unlike the God and Goddesses...
who had laughed for millions of time.
The day is too short.
A hundred year is over in a blink of an eye.
The Heaven is vast.
And this life full of calamities is too long.
Unlike the God and Goddesses...
who had laughed for millions of time.
He used counterfeit money...
to fool those old man and old ladies who can't tell the difference...
and had profited more than ten folds from the little money he spent.
In the end,
he went into other's family to kidnap their daughter.
This is not the worst part.
The worst part is,
he had resisted the arrest.
Xiao Yi, yesterday night,
he pushed me against the wall with a huge carriage.
But I can't embarrassed our leader, right?
So, I shot him with my crossbow...
with four bolts.
By the way, Xiao Yi.
After you tinker with this crossbow, it became so powerful.
Just now, you said that there are two bolts.
It doesn't matter if it's two or four bolts.
They are almost the same.
This is quite and expertise of yours.
Whenever you tinker with a weapon,
it'll become a much more powerful weapon.
Teach me how to do it when you are free.
Here.
Take away the scope first and tighten the latch for 2 inches.
-That's it? -That's it.
But I can only do that for superb shooters like you.
Normal people can't shoot accurately without the scope.
Do you know what our leader did in the past?
He was the shooter of Anxi County's Dauntless Army.
We are taught by him. Of course our aims have to be good.
Am I right, leader?
Enough. Go back now.
Clean up your face and your clothes.
Don't make your parents worry.
Besides,
Camel milk from A Luo Yue's house in Eastern District is very nourishing.
Buy it and bring it back to your parents.
But it's not suitable for you because it's heaty.
Leader. Tell me.
You paid us with all of your monthly salaries.
How are you going to solve a case if you are starved?
Get lost. Don't let me see your ugly face here.
Do you have a new case, leader?
None of your business.
Leader.
The underworld of Pingkang Street?
Leader.
Are you going to meet Ge Lao?
There's too much blood on Ge Lao's hands.
I've been patient for many years but our head wouldn't let us take him on.
And we don't know his background.
I have a lead this time.
The lost gold instruments are related to Ge Lao.
The owner of the missing goods must be a powerful man.
They belong to Tan Tong Shou. He's adamant that we get them back.
Leader.
Who are you going to send there this time as spy?
-Do you have a candidate? I can do it. -I'll do it.
How is that possible? You had been spying on Ge Lao for many years.
He will be able to recognise you even if you turn into ashes.
I have my way.
-No. -Leader.
It's better if I go.
I had been a spy before.
You call that spying?
That's right.
Who do you think I am?
Let me tell you. Come here.
You can only do it because you have a lot of facial hairs.
It's like a new face every time you shave off your beard.
So? This is in our gene.
You are such a lady.
-You are the lady. -I'm still the most suitable one.
-Xiao Yi! -Xiao Yi.
Why did you hurt yourself?
Leader, I want to go.
I'm a newbie. They don't know my face.
-You. -Look.
I've been hurt by the sleuth-hound of Chang'an.
I have grudge against you.
I'll go to Ge Lao to become a servant in his brothel.
I promise that I can get close to him in half a month's time.
Stupid man! I'm going to beat you to death!
-Leader! -Leader!
Did your parents raise you up so that you can waste your life like this?
Move aside! All of you!
-Leader! -I'm going to beat you to death!
