HANDSOME SIBLINGS
EPISODE 27
I've never kept any retainers at home.
There has always been only Yulang and me.
How could there be a killer in my own home?
The killer who was controlled by you
was Tie Zhan!
TIE ZHAN'S MEMORIAL TABLET
Tie Zhan?
-Well... -The Ten Great Villains?
-How can this be? -It's Tie Zhan?
Tie Zhan?
-How can this be? -Is it really Tie Zhan?
Really?
Are you talking about Tie Xinlan's father, the Mad Lion, Tie Zhan?
That's right, it's him.
Everyone in the martial arts world knows
that the Mad Lion, Tie Zhan went missing many years ago.
How could he be Mr. Jiang's killer?
I was bewildered as well.
How would a healthy and skilled man suddenly disappear?
I found out later that Jiang Biehe was holding him captive.
It was Jiang Biehe who controlled Tie Zhan
and ordered him to kill everyone in Shuangshi!
-This is... -Is it true?
-That's right. -That's right.
-The massacre? -How could that be Mr. Jiang's doing?
-It's impossible. -How would Mr. Jiang do that?
-It's not Mr. Jiang's doing. -Do you believe that?
-I won't believe it. -He didn't do it.
Everyone.
It is common knowledge
that Jiang Xiaoyu is from Wicked Canyon.
He is the disciple of the Ten Great Villains.
"He that lives with cripples learns to limp."
His ability to mislead the public with lies and sow discord between people
even surpasses his masters.
Not long ago,
he slandered me and said I kidnapped Ms. Murong Jiu.
Fortunately, Mr. Hua and those warriors who uphold justice
helped to clear up the misunderstanding.
Today,
he is here to pull the same trick.
Everyone, do you think what he said can be trusted?
He can't be trusted.
-Not at all! -Not trustworthy!
-He is not trustworthy at all! -Right.
He can't be trusted.
Jiang Xiaoyu, you've done too many evil deeds
and now you're here trying to drag Mr. Jiang through the mud.
I won't show you any mercy!
Mr. Hua, what are you doing?
I think if Jiang Xiaoyu didn't have any solid evidence,
he wouldn't dare to spout such nonsense.
Why don't we let him finish and decide after that?
Jiang Xiaoyu.
You said Mr. Jiang is the mastermind who framed Tie Wushuang.
Do you have any evidence of that?
Well, as for evidence...
We'll have to ask Tie Zhan himself.
TIE ZHAN'S MEMORIAL TABLET
How to ask?
-How to ask? -What does he mean?
You knew the Mad Lion, Tie Zhan is dead.
That's why you are trying to frame my father.
This should be the other way round.
Both of you knew that the Mad Lion, Tie Zhan is dead.
The dead tell no tales.
That is why you dared to twist and turn the facts.
Jiang Xiaoyu.
You have no evidence, why do you still insist on pestering us endlessly?
I am the evidence!
Who's that?
He's...
-Isn't he dead? -Well...
-Isn't he dead? -It's really him.
-Is that a ghost? -Goodness.
Father, slow down.
This is...
It's the Mad Lion, Tie Zhan!
Tie Zhan? Aren't you...
Dead?
Right?
-He is not dead. -Right.
If I don't reveal Jiang Biehe's true colors,
how can I rest in peace?
Jiang Biehe.
You had your son poison my medicine.
Do you think you've killed me off?
Before Jiang Yulang put the poison,
Mr. Tie had regained consciousness.
Jiang Yulang thought I didn't know of his plan.
I played along with him to let them think Tie Zhan is dead.
I then moved Mr. Tie to a safe place to recuperate.
Mr. Hua, don't you trust me?
If I trusted you,
Mr. Tie would have died in Duan Manor.
Mr. Tie Zhan.
Please tell everyone the things Jiang Biehe did.
Five years ago, I managed to master the Nameless Wondrous Skill.
When I was on my way home,
I ran into Jiang Biehe who was badly injured and being pursued by his enemies.
Seeing that he seemed like a true gentleman,
I trusted him.
But Jiang Biehe repaid kindness with betrayal.
He controlled me with 18 poisoned needles
and forced me to write down the secret manual of the Nameless Wondrous Skill.
Ever since then, I've been living in darkness
and a reign of terror.
On that rainy night,
he used his sanqing bell to order me
to murder the 39 people of Shuangshi Armed Escort.
Later on, he ordered me
to kill Hua Wuque and my own daughter.
That's right.
I was the homicidal maniac of the massacre of Shuangshi.
In the past five years,
I also killed and robbed cargo 21 times.
But I was being controlled and used by Jiang Biehe to do all that.
This person is responsible for the deaths of over 100 people!
And he is being pretentious and acting honorable here!
The Hero of Jiangnan? The chief of the Martial Arts Alliance?
-You are a wicked treacherous bandit! -Hypocrite.
Do you even deserve to live?
Father, are you all right?
Mr. Tie suffered severe injuries.
He has not fully recovered and must not be agitated.
Help him to rest.
Father, let's go.
Give way.
Mr. Jiang.
What do you have to say about Tie Zhan's testimony?
What is it?
Do you have nothing to say, Mr. Jiang?
I advise Mr. Jiang to confess and repent.
-How could he do that? -Let's hear him out.
The Immeasurable Deity.
-Master Shen Xi has arrived. -Master Shen Xi.
I apologize for being late.
I was entrusted by Mr. Hua and Jiang Xiaoyu
to take a trip to Mr. Jiang's residence in Zhenjiang.
NAMELESS WONDROUS SKILL
Were this poisoned needle and manual of the Nameless Wondrous Skill
found in Mr. Jiang's residence?
That's right.
They were indeed found in the secret underground room of Jiang Residence.
Master Shen Xi is the clan master of Emei clan.
He is a highly respected person
and has no grudges against Mr. Jiang.
That is why we entrusted him with this task.
That's true.
I did hold Tie Zhan captive back then.
But everyone knows he is one of the Ten Great Villains.
I ran into him by accident.
I was afraid he would cause great harm to the martial arts world.
That's why I imprisoned him.
How could that be wrong?
Is that true?
Then why have you never mentioned it?
As everyone knows,
my father keeps a low profile.
He doesn't like to brag.
My father has done a lot of good deeds for the people in the martial arts world.
You sure like to crow about your father's deeds.
Fine.
Even if you could bluff your way out of the matter of imprisonment,
let's see how you're going to do that with the massacre.
On that rainy night,
my father...
My father was in Duan Manor and never left.
You can ask Mr. Duan if you don't believe it.
I remember.
That night, on a whim,
I dragged Mr. Jiang into playing a game of Go.
What about Tianjing Temple on the first day of this month?
What Tianjing Temple?
The abandoned Taoist temple in the west.
You told me there are red-leafed trees there.
Ms. Tie and I were almost killed by Tie Zhan there.
Now that I think of it,
it seems you had planned it to lure us to Tianjing Temple
and let Tie Zhan kill us.
Mr. Hua, the two of us have a great friendship.
Why would I want to kill you?
Because I found out Tie Wushuang
didn't have time to kill those men and hide the silver,
and that someone else must be behind the massacre of Shuangshi.
When I started to investigate this,
you started to plan to kill me.
What a joke.
On the first of this month, I didn't go to Tianjing Temple,
nor have I done the things that you have claimed.
Just because you said so doesn't make it true.
I can bear witness.
That day, Mr. Jiang was indeed in Duan Manor and never left.
Mr. Jiang secluded himself in his room to practice martial arts until dusk.
Mr. Duan had me invite Mr. Jiang to dinner.
It was only then that Mr. Jiang came out.
Did you hear that?
My father has nothing to hide and he has a clear conscience.
He doesn't have to defend himself as others would prove his innocence.
Jiang Xiaoyu.
Hua Wuque.
What else do you have to say to this?
I didn't expect Mr. Jiang
wouldn't admit to luring me to the temple in the western suburbs.
Fortunately, I found something else in your room.
This is the sanqing bell you used to control the Mad Lion, Tie Zhan.
When the Murong family searched Mr. Jiang's room that day,
Jiang Xiaoyu discovered it.
I think some people in Duan Manor
noticed it as well, right?
That's right. I saw it that day.
Jiang Biehe.
We have both the witness and the evidence.
What do you have to say to that?
Your so-called evidence
was clearly planted by someone
to frame me.
So you still won't admit to your crimes.
All right. Did we slander you about you poisoning Tie Zhan?
That's a slanderous accusation!
These two needles...
-Hey, take a look. -It's the same.
-He did it.
-He really did it. -Right.
Jiang Biehe.
What else do you have to say?
Unfilial son!
So it was you!
-Father, I-- -Let me ask you.
I...
Did you kill the people of Shuangshi Armed Escort Company?
What other wicked deeds have you done by using Tie Zhan?
Were you the one who caused Tie Wushuang's death?
And were you also the one who poisoned Tie Zhan?
Yes.
I did all those things.
I'm an unfilial son.
I know I was wrong. I...
How could you
do something so unforgivable?
Why?
Why did you do this? Speak!
I did all this for you.
With Tie Wushuang dead,
you would be the first hero in the martial arts world.
-Father, you should have-- -Shut up!
You actually did so many despicable things behind my back.
Do you know how much blood debts you are carrying?
You have ruined my reputation.
You don't deserve to be my son!
-Father! I was wrong. -I'm not your father!
-I never had a son! -Forgive me!
Father, no!
-You... -No!
Father!
Father, no!
Mr. Jiang!
-Mr. Jiang! -Mr. Jiang!
-Don't! -Don't stop me!
I have failed in the upbringing of my child.
I have failed the people.
I must kill him myself today!
This is the only way I can answer to the deceased!
Mr. Jiang!
Although he is guilty of heinous crimes, he has been given punishment.
God is merciful to all living things.
-Give him a chance to repent. -Mr. Jiang.
Give him a chance.
He is still young after all.
I...
cut all ties with you!
From now on, whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with me!
Don't ever let me see you again!
Get lost!
Father!
Jiang Biehe is such a cunning man.
We still underestimated him.
After everything we did,
I never expected him to actually push all the blame onto his son.
Even the people of Wicked Canyon know an animal does not eat its young.
Look at him. He made his son take the fall.
He washed his hands of the whole thing
and even gained the reputation by placing righteousness before family.
But we've managed to take down his right-hand man this time.
I hope that after this incident, Jiang Biehe will behave himself.
Hua Wuque, I didn't expect you to be that good at acting.
You even managed to fool Jiang Biehe.
I learned from you, didn't I?
"He that lives with cripples learns to limp."
Very good.
JIANG RESIDENCE
Father.
Why were you so ruthless?
You could even do this to your own son.
Yulang.
Don't blame me for being ruthless.
It was a last resort
that I was forced to take as there was no other way out.
Jiang Xiaoyu, Hua Wuque.
Both of you put up a show
and managed to plot against me.
If I don't get revenge,
I would have lived my life in vain.
Jiang Xiaoyu.
Hua Wuque.
I, Jiang Yulang, will never let you go!
Father.
Father, do you know the pear tree in front of our house
bears many fruits every year?
I could never finish them all.
I always give some to our neighbors.
Also, the osmanthus tree has grown taller.
When fall comes,
the air will be filled with the scent of flowers.
I would pluck some of the flowers
and grind them into powder to make soup.
It was so delicious.
That's good.
My daughter has grown up.
When we get home, I must try your home-style dishes.
Father.
I have something to do before we head home.
I guess it must be related to Mr. Hua, right?
I can tell Mr. Hua is very fond of you.
But I already have someone else in my heart.
Ms. Tie.
How is your father?
He is getting much better.
I've finished packing up and plan to bring him home tomorrow.
Are you leaving?
My father hasn't been home for a decade.
He yearns to go home.
It has been a decade since you last saw each other.
You have a lot of catching up to do.
That's why I asked both you and Xiaoyu'er here today.
I wish to tell both of you some things.
Mr. Hua.
I used to loathe you and even stabbed you with a sword.
However, as we got along,
I realized you are a nice person.
You took care of me and was always concerned about me.
If it wasn't for you, I would have lost my life a long time ago.
In my whole life,
I have never met anyone who treated me better than you did.
But I wanted to kill the man you like.
I treated you well
and no matter if it's out of guilt or to make up over certain things,
you don't have to read into it too much.
Men are not plants.
It's not like we are emotionless.
I felt your pure sincerity
throughout our time together.
Sometimes, I wish I were a man,
so that I could be best friends with both of you.
Perhaps the three of us would be so much happier this way.
But we never have a choice in our fates.
No.
Look.
Ever since the two of you made the three-month agreement,
neither of you acted in a hostile way like before when both of you meet.
I believe that one day soon,
the two of you will lay down your grudges, make peace,
and become true friends.
I also hope that such a day will come.
However, it's not that easy.
It's as if the two of us are separated by a mountain.
As long as the resentment is there,
we can never be real friends.
When there's a will, there's a way.
Even if it's a mountain full of knives, one will eventually reach the peak.
Even if it's a sea of flames, one will eventually cross it.
You are caught in the middle of our grudge.
I am deeply sorry about that.
No, please don't say that.
I'm the one who always clung on to you.
I should be the one apologizing.
Why are the two of you apologizing to each other?
Both of you are so young, yet you're both tormented because of love.
Sooner or later, you'll learn there are many other things
that are more torturous than this.
Why does he look so much like him?
Silly boy, do you like this girl?
If you don't confess to her, she won't truly know your feelings.
Even if he doesn't say it out loud, I know.
You are more straightforward than he is.
Let alone him, even I would like this kind of girl like you.
Do you like him?
I won't say that I don't like him, but...
That means you like him.
Good.
Since the feeling is mutual,
let me be the matchmaker.
Both of you should get married today.
Sir, are you joking?
How is that a joke?
Look at this place.
The view is breathtaking.
I think this is indeed the best place for you to get married.
Come on, pray to the heavens and earth.
This is the happiest moment of your life.
Thank you for your kindness, sir.
But you're foisting this upon us.
-Don't you agree to it? -I can't agree to it.
I know.
It's not that you're unwilling to marry her,
you are afraid that she is unwilling.
She didn't say a word against it, why are you thinking so much?
Some things need not be spoken out loud.
It's obvious you like her so much,
but you refuse to agree to the marriage because of her.
A fool of love like you is so rare nowadays.
Lady.
He is such a good man.
Who are you going to marry if not him?
I...
I've just joined the martial arts world, but I do have some worldly experience.
I've never met someone who forces people to get married.
You talk in such a rude way.
Do you really think I can't kill you?
I see that you are a truly powerful master.
My skills might not be on par with yours,
but no matter how great your skills are,
you can't force us against our will.
I agree.
Ms. Tie.
She has agreed to it.
-How about you? -I'll never agree to it.
She has agreed to marry you, why are you still declining?
I've made up my mind.
If you really want to kill me, just do it.
Mr. Hua, do you really wish to die here?
You would rather be tormented for the rest of your life than agree?
Yes.
I would rather be tormented for the rest of my life than agree.
Very well.
It's better to kill you now
than to let you be tormented for the rest of your life.
Mr. Hua!
Sir, please stop!
He refuses because of me.
He knows that I'm not sincere about the idea.
If you really want to kill someone, please kill me!
Those with the surname Jiang are so stubborn.
You're sillier than your father.
Think about it.
If she is reluctant and doesn't like you,
why would she offer to die for you?
Sir, his surname is not Jiang.
His name is Hua Wuque.
Your surname is not Jiang?
If that's the case, your marriage is none of my business.
He is not Jiang Xiaoyu.
Why does he look so much like him?
Did you force us to get married because you thought that he was Jiang Xiaoyu?
I did feel pity seeing both of you tormented because of love.
But if it wasn't because I mistook him for Jiang Xiaoyu,
I wouldn't have been so nosy.
I just wanted to help you out.
Unexpectedly, I have mistaken him for someone else.
You broke my headband. Do you wish to just walk away?
I know that you're not pleased.
I'll let you land two strikes to vent your anger.
You might be a great martial artist,
but you wouldn't survive a hit from me.
I said I would let you vent your anger.
Just do it.
Sorry for being rude.
Are you all right?
Who are you?
You could easily repulse Yihua Jade Swapping Palm.
In my entire life, I always regret
not being able to try out the martial arts of Yihua Palace.
I never expected to have met you here today.
Do you have a grudge against Yihua Palace?
I have a deep-seated grudge against Yihua Palace.
I've been grinding my sword for ten years
with the aim to wipe out every last person of Yihua Palace.
Are you Yan Nantian?
That's right, I am Yan Nantian.
If that's so,
I, Hua Wuque, a disciple of Yihua Palace, am ready.
Mr. Yan.
Can you please give us a few moments?
Of course.
Thank you.
Mr. Hua, just leave.
You are no match for him.
Fighting Yan Nantian is every martial arts practitioner's wish.
I know the ultimate skills of Yihua Jade Swapping Palm.
I might not lose.
You should just leave.
I'll stop him. He won't hurt me.
Ms. Tie.
Thank you for the offer.
I'm not fighting for myself, but for Yihua Palace.
Why are you so stubborn?
Don't you care about your life?
I was raised by Yihua Palace.
Of course I'll fight for it.
Can't you think for yourself for once?
If I only think of myself,
who else will think of Yihua Palace and the reputation of my aunts?
I have no choice but to fight.
Hua Wuque.
I'm impressed by your courage.
Regardless of the result,
the reputation of Yihua Palace will be upheld because of you.
Thank you.
You have unsheathed the sword.
What are you waiting for?
Mr. Hua!
No one is allowed to kill my friend!
Mr. Yan?
Jiang Xiaoyu.
Mr. Yan!
I've missed you, Mr. Yan!
-Have you fully recovered? -Yes.
Do you know Hua Wuque is from Yihua Palace?
I know.
Then do you know your parents were killed by the masters of Yihua Palace?
I know.
Good.
Then finish him yourself.
-I can't kill him. -Why are you being soft-hearted?
Don't you want to avenge your parents?
I have a deal with Hua Wuque.
We will have a duel to the death in three months.
So I can't let you kill him either before that.
I can't take advantage when he is injured.
You are indeed my brother's son.
Jiang Feng, your son is truly a hero.
You can rest in peace now.
By the way, Tu Jiaojiao, Li Dazui and the rest have left Wicked Canyon.
Did you know that?
-I know. -Have you met them?
Where are they?
Mr. Yan, can you spare them?
How can I spare them?
It's true that they attempted to harm you,
but you're safe and sound now, aren't you?
Mr. Yan.
If they stop committing evil deeds, can you spare them?
Fine.
For your sake,
I'll spare them as long as they stop committing evil deeds in the future.
Really?
That's great!
They'll be so happy when they find out.
They won't dare commit evil deeds anymore.
All right.
Knowing that you're safe, I can put my mind at ease.
I'm leaving.
Do you want to follow me or venture into the martial arts world by yourself ?
Of course it would be great to follow you around.
However, if you're around,
the wicked will run away the moment they see you.
I'll be bored out of my mind.
You're ambitious.
However, there is something that is closely related to you.
After you have finished your work at hand, come and see me in Zhenjiang.
All right. We'll meet again in Zhenjiang.
Why are you here?
Did you save me?
Who else if it's not me?
Why did you save me?
Someone wanted to kill me previously,
didn't you save me too?
That's because I want to kill you myself.
Why wouldn't you think that I want to kill you myself too?
Don't forget.
We have a duel to the death in three months.
Before that day arrives,
we should live our life to the fullest
as if it's the last day.
Ms. Tie once told me...
Xiaoyu'er is a very open-minded and an optimistic person.
Do you know what he would do if he was here?
He would say,
"Before the day comes, why don't we live our lives happily?
Because no matter who survives in the end,
that person will never smile again."
If it is you,
you would say, "Before the day comes,
why don't we live our lives happily?"
She is right.
All right, let's go.
Someone is going to cry if he stays here any longer.
Every send-off ends in separation.
Mr. Hua, Mr. Jiang.
Let's just part ways here.
Mr. Hua.
Thank you again for saving my life.
And thank you for taking care of us all this while.
Don't say that, Mr. Tie.
It was the right thing to do.
Mr. Hua, I will never forget your kindness.
I will repay you when I have the chance.
It's not a big deal. Please don't mention it.
You don't have to keep that in mind.
Well, we will get going.
He Lu, He Shuang, escort them back to their hometown.
There's no need for that, Mr. Hua.
I'll feel more at ease with both of them escorting you.
Please don't turn down my offer.
Thank you, Mr. Hua.
Farewell.
Take care.
Take it.
Blow it when you're in danger.
What's your plan next?
I'm going to Zhenjiang to meet up with Mr. Yan.
He told me there's something related to me that he has to tell me.
I suspect he has clues about Jiang Qin.
I have to avenge my parents before our duel.
I've always been curious
about the grudges between your parents and Yihua Palace.
If you don't mind, I would like to follow you there.
Sure, why would I mind?
By the way, what was your father's name?
My father?
He was the infamous,
the one and only, the most good-looking man in the world,
Jiang Feng.
"Jiang Feng"?
I heard that
he was gentle and had pleasant manners.
No lady in the world could resist his smile.
How did he die?
