HANDSOME SIBLINGS
EPISODE 20
Are you trying to silence those who oppose you?
Jiang Biehe.
You...
So this trap was set up by the father and son of Jiang.
Well, Jiang Biehe.
Mr. Hua.
Do you still remember
how the stableman describe the murderer?
"An old man."
"White hair, a white beard."
Look.
Doesn't it refer
to the chief of Sanxiang Martial Arts Alliance, Tie Wushuang?
This is bad.
It's impossible for Mr. Tie to clear his name now.
Things have come to this point.
The truth has been revealed!
Well...
What are your thoughts, Mr. Hua?
If this incident is made known,
Tie Wushuang's reputation will be ruined
and his name will live in infamy.
He was respected in the martial arts world.
Moreover, he is already an elderly man.
It's improper to press him too hard.
It's noon now.
Why don't we give Tie Wushuang half a day
to think about how to end his life?
We'll come again at midnight.
What do you think, Mr. Jiang?
Mr. Hua is merciful.
This will be the final decision then.
Mr. Tie! Hurry!
Mr. Tie.
Take some medicine.
Midnight tonight
will be the time our lives end.
I would rather kill myself now
than wait for the time to come!
Mr. Tie.
Don't be impulsive.
Things might get better in some ways.
At this stage,
no one will believe us
unless we find the real culprit.
However, we only have half a day left.
Physician, how is Ms. Tie?
Ms. Tie was badly poisoned.
Fortunately, you knew of a way to save her.
The poison in her body is almost gone.
Your medical skills are remarkable. I'm impressed.
I'll prepare medicine for her according to your prescription.
She'll recover in a few days.
Thank you, sir.
Please wait for a moment.
-Thank-- -Thank you.
I should be the one to thank you.
If it weren't for you,
I would have lost my life.
No.
I should thank you instead.
The poisoned wine was meant for me.
I would have been the one to lose my life.
You saved me.
By the way, why did you drink so much yesterday?
Was it because you were troubled?
There are some people...
Even if you treat them well with all your heart
and sacrifice everything for them,
they wouldn't care about it.
Ms. Tie.
Stop thinking about the past.
You need to take care of your own body.
All right.
I'm fine.
Thank you, Mr. Hua.
Mr. Zhao, don't be so depressed.
We've come up with a great idea.
Tell me then.
Mr. Zhao.
At this stage, we're only left with one choice.
We need to make the first move
by kidnapping Mr. Duan and his daughter
so that Jiang Biehe will think twice before taking action.
Mr. Zhao, that's not a good idea.
Are you a new hire?
Yes, Mr. Zhao.
If you kidnap Mr. Duan and his daughter now,
everyone in the martial arts world
will definitely think that the robbery and poisoning
were done by you and Mr. Tie.
By then, you would have no chance to clear your name anymore, am I right?
Young man, you know nothing of this matter.
Mr. Zhao.
This is the best action to take at the moment.
We'd find the culprit while stopping Jiang Biehe from taking action.
After we find the real culprit,
we'll release Mr. Duan and his daughter.
Mr. Zhao, think about it.
There are many skilled martial artists and servants at Duan Manor
in addition to Jiang Biehe's and Hua Wuque's escorts.
I'm afraid that you'll be exposed
before you manage to kidnap Mr. Duan and his daughter.
You're right.
Kidnapping Mr. Duan and his daughter
is not that easy.
Hua Wuque and Jiang Biehe
will never expect that we will take this step.
I bet they have let their guard down by now.
Exactly, Mr. Zhao.
Also, according to my sources,
neither of them has returned to Duan Manor.
They are bringing Tie Xinlan to the physician for a checkup.
Now is the time for the two of us
to go to Duan Manor to kidnap the father and daughter.
Those useless guard dogs are no match for us.
Are both of you willing to help me with this?
We've received your kindness,
we will surely carry out tasks for you.
-Yes. -Mr. Zhao.
Please think twice.
Mr. Zhao.
To wait for death or to take the risk and go for it,
it's all up to you.
All right.
We'll do what you advise.
Please ask eight of your servants
to carry two sedan chairs and follow us.
All right.
We'll also need someone who knows the way to guide us there.
I know the way.
I'll bring you there.
The Luo brothers came up with such a dumb idea for Mr. Zhao.
Are they trying to drive things out of control,
so that Tie Wushuang wouldn't get out of this mess?
No matter what your intention is,
I, Xiaoyu'er, will get on with it.
Ms. San.
Haven't you found Yu Dan?
Ms. San.
He hasn't returned to Qingyu Hall since last night.
No one has seen him today.
This is so annoying.
That little rat. Where did he go?
Young Lady.
Would he go to a brothel like many other men?
That's impossible.
Yu Dan is not that kind of man.
Quan, send someone to look for him!
-Hurry up! -Yes!
Why are you still standing there?
-Hurry up and go! -Yes!
DUAN MANOR
Who are you?
We're here to carry the pigs.
If you're sensible enough, get out of the way.
Mr. Luo, what are we going to do now?
Impressive skills.
Go!
-What are you trying to do? -Go!
-You're kidnapping in broad daylight. -Who are you?
How dare you. Scum!
-How dare you make a scene at my home? -Shut up!
-Where are you taking us to? -What are you doing?
Young man, what are you waiting for?
-Let's go. -What are you doing?
Get in there!
My goodness. What do you want to do?
-Don't touch my daughter! -Father!
Please give way! Excuse me!
I apologize, sirs!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
Mr. Jiang, Mr. Duan and his daughter have been kidnapped.
I'm sorry.
My guess was right.
Jiang Biehe is colluding with the Luo brothers.
-What are you doing? -Get in there!
-Hurry up! -Get in!
-Get inside! -Go away!
Go!
-Don't come over here! -You are a bunch of scums!
Release us!
Don't be scared, I'm here.
I...
-I am Duan Hefei! -Don't come any closer!
-Are you digging your own graves?
-Let us go! -Father!
Let us go!
Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Duan and his daughter are being locked up in the pigsty
as you ordered.
It's so unexpected that my nemesis
would just fall into my hands in this way.
-This feels great. -Mr. Zhao!
You kidnapped Mr. Duan and his daughter here.
Doesn't that show we are in the wrong and guilty all the more?
Mr. Tie, at this stage,
we are left with no choice.
We can only take a risk and go for it.
I have always been frank and forthright.
I will never do such underhanded things!
Mr. Tie, please don't get angry.
It's a tactic to buy us some time.
Nonsense! This is sheer nonsense!
-You... -Mr. Tie, please calm down.
Hurry up and help Mr. Tie back to his room.
-Hurry up. -Yes.
Mr. Tie, there are still a few hours to go until midnight.
You still have time.
"Have time"?
Do you mean arranging for my own funeral?
I, Tie Wushuang,
come from dust
and shall return to dust.
After I die,
just bury me under the ground.
Mr. Tie, I don't mean that.
What I mean is that you still have time to escape.
What did you say?
Did you just ask me to run away?
-Yes. -That is despicable.
I've been forthright and have never done anything that is against my conscience.
And you want me to run away at this point?
I would rather die than do so.
Mr. Tie.
They've apparently set you up in a complex trap.
You can't even defend yourself.
You know that this is not going to end well.
Why are you digging your own grave?
Where there is life, there is hope.
Despicable or not, the most important thing is to stay alive.
To me,
being frank and forthright is more important than staying alive.
Why are you so stubborn?
Mr. Tie.
You didn't do anything. Why must you take the blame?
Why must you jump into it knowing that it's a trap?
You're not losing your life because of someone else's plot.
You're losing your life because of your ridiculousness!
Young man.
Thank you.
Your kindness is highly appreciated.
I meant well,
but Mr. Tie still doesn't accept it.
Seeing how it is now, I have indeed lost my way.
I have lost my way!
Please give me some guidance.
It's simple.
It's just seven words.
If you can't make peace, make war.
"War"?
Yes.
But...
But I'm definitely not a match
for Jiang Biehe and Hua Wuque!
Mr. Zhao, haven't you heard of this saying?
"If you can't outfight your enemy, out-think him."
Yes.
Out-think him?
How do I out-think my enemies?
As long as you have Mr. Duan and his daughter in your hands,
Jiang Biehe will not act recklessly.
Even if he's here, he will think twice before taking further action.
You'll just have to calm him down.
What to do then?
Mr. Zhao.
The men of Diling Hall are quite skillful.
First, we'll take advantage of the building
and ambush them from all sides.
Then, prepare bows and crossbows.
Think about it.
By then,
once Jiang Biehe and Hua Wuque enter Diling Hall,
it's almost impossible for them to escape
even if each of them has three heads and six arms.
Yes.
Luo San.
How is it going? All his men are ready.
Zhao Xiangling was so easily fooled.
We earned 500 silver taels just by paying lip service.
What a good deal.
The 500 silver taels are an extra.
We were paid 1,000 silver taels the other day to frame Tie Wushuang
and kidnap Mr. Duan and his daughter.
We'll get the 500 taels by today.
We'll meet up with them at Fulai Inn between 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
What are you waiting for?
Hurry up and go.
-I'll leave now. -Go quickly.
FULAI INN
Drink up.
-Taste this. -Not bad.
It's not bad indeed.
-Eat more. -Sure.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
Hey, server.
Yes, sir?
Really?
What are you waiting for? Get going.
-I'll go now. -Hurry up.
Everyone, a kindhearted customer wants to show mercy
by giving out money to everyone!
-"Giving out money"? -Really?
What are you waiting for?
-Everyone can have it! -It's real!
-Quickly! -Really?
-Everyone can have it. -Hurry up.
-Give me some. -I want it too!
-Stop pushing! -Give it to me!
-It's mine. -It's mine!
Don't try to take my money!
-Don't push. -What are you doing?
Stop fighting!
-I took it first. -Hey, it's mine.
Fans for sale.
-Candied fruits! -Come and have a look at my fans.
Have a look.
It's useful.
Do you want to get one?
Fans for sale.
Sir, here's your dish.
Server, bring me a pot of tea.
Coming!
Here you go.
-Put it down. -Sir, do you want to order anything?
Sir, you must be a magician.
You changed your clothes in such a short time.
Do you know me?
Just now...
It's nothing.
-What do you want to order? -The food is pretty good.
I'm waiting for someone. You may leave now.
I think we can bring our family here next time.
What?
He didn't show up?
Luo San.
We have been fooled.
Have some tea.
-We are late, please forgive us, Master -We are late, please forgive us, Master.
You're all here.
I'm gratified.
Get up.
Master, we are all here now.
We won't let anyone make things difficult for you.
Right, Master. You can count on us.
This matter can't be solved with violence.
Make sure you don't take action rashly later.
-Yes. -Yes.
This man is an accomplice of Jiang Yulang.
DILING HALL
What is going on?
This...
They are doomed.
You deserve what's coming as you have outsmarted yourself!
If you think that an ambush like this can harm me and Mr. Jiang,
you have underestimated us.
I have no idea when did they plot an ambush.
If Mr. Tie didn't give his approval for this,
how would Mr. Zhao dare to make such an arrangement?
Zhao Xiangling, tell the truth.
Who are these people?
How could you try to pull such an underhanded scheme?
Well...
Why are you looking at me?
Both of us thought that Mr. Tie and Mr. Zhao are heroes.
We didn't expect that you would be so mean and resort to such despicable tricks!
That's right.
Even though we are not capable,
we will not associate with such despicable people!
From now on, no matter what happens to Diling Hall,
it has nothing to do with both of us!
How could both of you say that?
Wasn't all this your idea?
Zhao Xiangling!
How could you shift the blame onto us?
Stop trying to blame it on others.
I'm afraid no one will believe you now.
You...
Since we've come to this point,
is there anything else you'd like to say?
I...
I'm so pissed off.
-Master! -Master!
Here.
Everyone, don't fight.
Don't fight!
Don't be angry, Master.
Take care of your body.
Mr. Jiang is an unreasonable person.
Don't attack first.
That's right.
Your master is unrighteous.
As disciples, you should stop following him.
Those who forsake this evil and join us now,
the people of the martial arts world will definitely forgive you.
However, the truth has yet to be revealed.
The evidence is conclusive.
It's no use denying it.
What else is there for you to hesitate?
Master.
Don't blame me for my betrayal.
You have committed such heinous crimes.
As a martial arts practitioner,
I have to stick to the path of righteousness.
I have decided to leave the clan today.
Other than Tie Wushuang and Zhao Xiangling,
everyone else is not related to this.
Mr. Hua and I
will not kill the innocent.
You...
What have I done wrong to you?
Why did you frame me?
Do you dare to say you have no idea?
Well...
I do not hold any resentment against you.
However, in the name of justice,
I cannot let you go today.
Fine.
Very well.
Duan Hefei must have paid you
to get rid of me.
Then let me tell you this.
Duan Hefei is in my hands right now.
If I die today,
Duan Hefei won't survive either!
Zhao Xiangling.
I'm afraid that you'll be disappointed.
Zhao Xiangling.
Both of us have been saved by Mr. Jiang.
Your last hope has come to nothing.
Duan Hefei.
I understand now.
You want me dead.
That's why you plot all these things!
Mr. Hua, don't let him escape!
He can't escape.
He Lu and He Shuang have brought men to block all the entrances.
If you want to survive, escaping is not the way.
Let me show you a way out of this.
-Master. -Master.
Master.
Mr. Hua, how should we punish this liar?
He is an elderly man.
Let him kill himself.
All right.
Heavens.
Heavens above.
How can I die in peace
knowing that I didn't commit any crime?
Master.
I, Tie Wushuang,
will stand right here.
If any of you think that I deserve to die,
come and kill me.
Come at me!
I'm afraid
even the heavens won't forgive you if you do so!
You've done so many misdeeds and harmed the martial arts world.
You massacred Shuangshi Armed Escort Company for money.
You have killed so many people. You deserve to be punished!
Everyone in the world has the right to kill you!
If no one dares to do it, I'll do it!
Jiang Yulang.
Do you think no one would recognize you
if you disguise yourself as a porter?
Do you really dare to kill Mr. Tie?
What nonsense are you talking about?
How would Mr. Jiang Yulang work as a porter?
Are you blind?
Jiang Yulang.
You may fool others, but you can't fool me.
You disguised yourself as a porter after robbing Mr. Duan's cargo of silver,
that was to kill Mr. Tie.
By doing so, everyone in the martial arts world
would only know that Mr. Tie was killed by a mere porter.
If someone wished to avenge him in the future,
you and your hypocritical father wouldn't be the target.
Jiang Yulang.
Both of you have indeed put a lot of careful thought into planning
before taking action.
-The plan was almost flawless. -What nonsense are you talking about?
Don't be angry, Mr. Jiang.
Did everyone hear that?
This jerk claimed that Mr. Jiang robbed the cargo of silver!
Mr. Duan, don't you think he is a crazy who is talking nonsense?
Of course it's ridiculous.
The first time my cargo of silver was robbed,
it was Jiang Yulang who brought it back.
If he was the robber,
why did he send the silver back?
The first robbery
was a scheme between Shuangshi Armed Escort Company and Jiang Yulang.
Jiang Yulang was the robber, but he acted like he was the rescuer.
ARMED ESCORT COMPANY
Sir, the plan went so smoothly.
Thank you for letting us handle such a good deal.
Mr. Zhao,
why would Jiang Yulang do that?
By doing so, he raised his reputation in the martial arts world.
Furthermore, no one would suspect him
when the cargo of silver was robbed for the second time.
According to what you said,
the people from Shuangshi Armed Escort Company were Jiang Yulang's accomplices.
Why would all of them be massacred?
In their vicious plan,
people from Shuangshi Armed Escort Company
were meant to be scapegoats from the start.
As everyone in Shuangshi had been killed,
Duan Hefei couldn't claim compensation from anyone.
Therefore, the huge amount of silver
would eventually go into the hands of Mr. Jiang and his son.
Stop accusing others to prove your innocence now.
Don't try to talk yourself out of death!
Mr. Hua, why did you do that?
Even if you don't believe him,
you should let him finish talking.
Zhao Xiangling.
Do you even have evidence
for making these claims?
I...
If Mr. Zhao couldn't explain it clearly, let me do it.
All the victims in the massacre were killed in quick succession.
They didn't even have a chance to defend themselves.
However, the men of Shuangshi were quite skilled.
Hence, the massacre must have been done by someone
who was close to them and someone they wouldn't guard against.
The killer is
none other than Jiang Yulang.
However, based on the testimony of the stableman,
the killer was an old man with white hair and a white beard.
Jiang Yulang spared the life of the stableman deliberately.
With Jiang Yulang's capability,
it's not very hard for him to do it without being noticed.
Therefore, everything that the stableman witnessed that night
was what Jiang Yulang wanted him to see.
ESCORT
Mr. Jiang, why would you come despite this terrible storm?
My father asked me to bring a message here.
Remember to leave one alive.
Yes.
Who are you?
Great. What an interesting story.
However, I think
that person was not my son,
but you.
Who are you?
It doesn't matter who I am.
What's more important is the truth.
I want to take a good look at your face!
You're even trying to silence me.
You're falsely accusing people. You deserve to die!
-Master! -Master!
Master!
Master, what did you do?
Master!
-Master! -Master!
Why were you so rash?
-Master! -Master!
Tie Wushuang
has killed himself out of guilt.
-Mr. Tie didn't commit suicide! -Master!
-Why would you say that? -Master!
He refused to die an unjust death just now.
Now that the truth has almost come to light,
how is it possible that he killed himself?
If he didn't commit suicide,
who among us had the ability to kill him?
Someone close to him.
What nonsense are you talking about?
The one who killed Tie Wushuang
-is you! -Nonsense!
I'm deeply indebted to my master.
There's no way I would kill my master!
You are colluding with Jiang Yulang.
You knew that your conspiracy would be uncovered soon,
so you stabbed your master in the throat when no one was looking.
You think the dead men tell no tales,
but you have forgotten that I am here.
Do you have any proof?
I saw it with my own eyes that you tampered with the wine.
The one who poisoned Li Feng and Zhao Quanhai
was you.
Here comes the hot wine.
Sir, your...
Nonsense!
My master made peace between Chief Escort Zhao and Sanxiang that day.
Why would I poison them?
By doing so, not only could you stop them from making up
and have Shuangshi Armed Escort Company benefit from the situation,
it would also taint Mr. Tie's reputation.
You're awesome.
-You set a trap to entrap three people. -You!
No one will believe what you said!
That day, at Sihai Chun Restaurant,
you pretended to look for clues to the poisoner.
In fact, you went to meet up with Jiang Yulang.
I saw everything in the kitchen with my own eyes.
Do you still want to deny this?
How did you see me and Jiang...
I would like to see who you really are!
You...
You are...
I won't let you get away even when I've become a ghost.
Are you a ghost or a human being?
I'm going to expose your plot even if I'm a ghost!
Ghost! There's a ghost!
There's a ghost!
There's really a ghost!
Mr. Jiang.
Why did you kill him?
Look at him, he has lost his mind.
It's obvious that the sword in Tie Wushuang's throat was his doing.
We must not allow this person to live.
Jiang Biehe!
You silenced an accomplice and you still made such a weak excuse!
This is intolerable!
You're only telling half-truths and making up stories to scare people.
You're obviously harboring evil intentions.
Mr. Hua.
Haven't you seen through their plot yet?
"Their"?
It's hard for this rascal
to stir up such chaos alone.
That porter should be his accomplice as well.
Let me find out that porter's true identity.
Why did he show his feet of clay deliberately
and heap suspicion on my son, Jiang Yulang?
Where is he?
How could I let him sneak away?
Mr. Jiang, Mr. Hua.
Mr. Duan was in shock because of this so-called ghost.
So, he asked some men to send him home.
That porter must have left with him.
If you let him get away, how am I going to clear my name now?
We'll get him back then.
-Let's go. -There's no need.
Given that porter's martial arts skills, you won't be able to find him.
Jiang Biehe.
You cunning scoundrel!
You have the best acting skills in the entire world!
It's obvious
that you and that porter are accomplices.
Both of you worked together to set me up.
Otherwise,
why would you be using such flashy tricks and pretend like a ghost in this hall
to distract us?
Wasn't it to create an opportunity for the porter to escape?
You dare not reveal your true face.
Could you be
the real mastermind behind this?
If you don't take off the conical hat,
I'll have to do it for you.
Hua Wuque.
I thought you were a smart person.
I didn't expect that you're willing to be a lackey and be used by others.
Tie Xinlan must be blind!
Shut up!
This has nothing to do with Ms. Tie.
Who are you?
