Under The Power
Episode 12
Long love, short hatred.
Who are you?
The bright moon gives pure light,
escorting people that are on the way back as clouds disperse.
Yun Zheyue.
He is dead, isn't he?
Is that a person or a ghost?
Yun Zheyue.
You are Yun Zheyue
who became famous for singing "The Best Perfume"
and then died on the stage?
Yes.
Mr., Mr. Lu.
Is, is that a human or a ghost?
Didn't Yun Zheyue die many years ago?
Mr. Wei, calm down.
The Maoshan Taoist told me something.
After listening to his analysis,
I found
that the one that murdered Yun Zheyue
also killed Mr. Zhou.
The murderer has been at large for years,
so that Yun Zheyue is still full of complaints,
and he showed up in my dream,
asking me to help find the murderer.
Yun Zheyue,
all these here are distinguished in Yangzhou.
If you have any complaint,
just say it,
and I'll bring the murderer to justice for you.
Thank you, Your Excellency.
Your Excellency.
The person who killed me
was the one that sang "The Best Perfume" for me back then.
She is...
Your Excellency!
She is the criminal.
Take her down!
Yes!
Lanye?
Miss shuangguan!
Go.
Back! Back!
Mr. Yan, when did you arrive in Yangzhou?
I didn't know it.
Please forgive me for
having not received you from afar.
It doesn't matter.
As I
was doing sightseeing on the lake,
I heard the liveliness
on the lakeside,
so I came here to have fun.
You know him?
Unexpectedly,
I met this big drama directed by you.
I helped you
arrest her.
You owe me.
Thank you, Mr. Yan.
As we are strongly curious,
why not go on performing the drama?
Mr. Yan, please don't laugh at me.
Actually, today it wasn't to call the ghost.
I guessed who the murderer is long ago,
but there was no evidence,
so I made use of the situation
and put on this drama.
Zhai Lanye.
Do you have anything else to say now?
Mr. Lu is indeed very clever.
I have nothing else to say.
Greetings, Mr. Yan.
Where did you learn
the needle shooting skill?
You could kill people in the distance with it.
So I guess you have practiced it for decades at least,
right?
My father was engaged in the martial art world.
Since my childhood, I was asked by him to practice it.
Later, because of some struggle in the martial art world,
all others in my family were killed.
I escaped death,
and became
an apprentice called Lan
in Chunxi Troupe.
It was you that sang for
Yun Zheyue,
right?
She sang for him?
Back then in Chunxi Troupe,
at the first sight of Yun Zheyue,
I secretly fell in love with him.
Later his throat suddenly got injured and he couldn't sing on the stage anymore.
He remained depressed.
To cheer him up,
I wrote a play
called "The Best Perfume".
I gave it to him
to express my feelings for him.
So you helped him get back on the stage
and you sang for him.
Yes.
All others thought his throat recovered,
and his voice was even better than before.
The troupe leader knew the truth,
but he didn't want to ruin it for the troupe.
Since then,
I hid behind the stage.
Long love, short hatred.
Why did he fall down? What's going on?
How is he?
Why is he still singing?
What's happening?
Listen. Why is he still singing?
Why is he still singing?
He is still singing.
What's happening?
Who is singing?
Can you hear it? He's still singing.
Actually, I didn't mind it.
I chose him.
I was willing to do anything.
Even I thought
this way
he couldn't leave me anymore.
It was
a good thing for me.
But why did you kill him?
Because he didn't love me at all.
He tricked me intentionally,
so as to make me keep on singing for him.
I didn't like it.
I would like to sing for him behind the stage,
but he cheated on me and fell in love with someone else.
He used me,
betrayed me,
and wanted me to continue to sing for him.
No way.
So you wrote on the doll
that it was the last time you sang "The Best Perfume" for him.
It was the last time.
Only his death
could free me from pain.
Long love, short hatred.
Yun Zheyue's death was unreasonable.
In order to hide the truth,
I
killed the troupe leader,
creating the scene that he hanged himself for the death of Yun Zheyue.
The Prefect of Yangzhou
was as silly as a goose.
No one suspected me.
Later,
you were adopted by Mr. Zhai
and trained as a lean horse in Yangzhou.
You met
Zhou Xianyi, who loved you deeply.
But why did you kill him?
He loved me deeply?
After he got to Yangzhou, he met me.
He treated me very well.
He swore
that he would marry me.
But I waited for so long,
and he didn't redeem me.
I told him that Mr. Zhai couldn't wait anymore,
and wanted to marry me to another person.
But he told me to wait,
and said he would definitely get money
to redeem me.
Unexpectedly,
I waited for a long time,
only to get the news that he embezzled the fund for repairing the dike.
He embezzled 100,000 taels of silver,
but he didn't spend 10% of it redeeming me.
So you thought he had tricked you,
and you killed him.
Yes.
That bastard...
It's you.
He deserved death.
All right.
I killed three people,
and it's time for me to pay.
Oh...
She is killing herself for what she had done?
She deserves it.
Lanye!
She is dead.
Your Excellency.
It seems that this drama
has ended.
I cannot stay here for too long.
I'm leaving.
Mr. Lu.
I will tell His Majesty
the whole drama that happened here,
and claim merit for you.
I chose him.
I was willing to do anything.
Why do women always suffer
and get hurt for love?
We can't let it go.
In front of me, you even didn't dare to kill an insect.
You were obviously so weak
and kind-hearted,
but how could it be possible that you killed people?
I finally got a bosom friend
that knew me well,
but now you are dead.
Who else can I confide in?
Lanye.
No matter how deeply you loved them,
how deeply you hated them,
and though you didn't accept it,
what you chose to do
was too stupid.
I'm also depressed because of love.
What should I do?
Your Excellency.
How did you know
that the murderer was Zhai Lanye?
Actually, it's very simple.
At the night before Zhou Xianyi
was arrested, Zhai Lanye
met him secretly despite the rain.
Moreover, Zhai Lanye
always denied her relationship with Zhou Xianyi.
You said that we had frequent contact,
but
I only met him three
or four times,
and I don't know much about him.
I began to suspect her then.
Later,
I visited Zhai's and Zhou's mansions,
and Lang Garden,
where I found
one same kind of orchid.
In addition,
you said that the one singing for Yun Zheyue was a woman.
I suddenly thought of
a detail we had missed.
Please.
The calluses on Zhai Lanye's hand
were not created by playing musical instruments.
I see.
Zhou Xianyi's case
can be closed.
But the money has not been found yet.
According to Zhai Lanye,
Zhou Xianyi indeed embezzled
the 100,000 taels of silver for the repairing of the dike.
But now
where is the money?
Has it been shipped out of Yangzhou?
If it had been shipped out of Yangzhou,
the Embroidered Uniform Guard would have learnt something about it.
I need to know where Zhai Lanye
had been to.
Investigate things about Zhai Lanye?
Yes.
I think she
was not just a lean horse in Yangzhou.
I feel that she died too unexpectedly.
But we had investigated it.
After Zhou Xianyi died,
Zhai Lanye barely went out.
She just traveled to the lake,
and visited Shangguan Xi in the Wu'an Sect.
Zhai Lanye and Shangguan Xi were close.
Perhaps
we can know some more information about
Zhai Lanye through Shangguan Xi.
It has nothing to do with her!
Last night
when Shangguan Xi knew
the murderer was Zhai Lanye,
she looked stunned...
Yeah.
After having contact with
Shangguan Xi and Xie Xiao,
I think they really didn't know anything about it,
or Xie Xiao wouldn't have
cooperated with us and put on the drama.
I wonder
if we can find some clues in places
that Zhai Lanye often visited.
Thank you for saving me.
This time I didn't finish my work.
Please punish me.
How can I be so cruel to punish you?
Come here.
Back then
when I watched the performance in Yangzhou,
after hearing just one line,
I liked
your voice.
If so,
why don't you let me stay by your side?
I can also serve you well.
This time will
you take me with you?
Now your feet are already 20.7 cm long, right?
What a pity!
Girls that I would like to take back home
can only have feet shorter than 20.5 cm.
This is a rule I set a long time ago.
You see,
I can't break my rule.
I remember when I first met you,
your feet were shorter than 18.7 cm.
Thank you.
You killed a person,
and you can't get away with it.
Your voice is very good,
but you'll lose your life because of him.
What a pity!
How do you know it?
Don't worry.
I won't report to officials.
Because
I am an official.
Can you help me?
Help you?
I indeed can help you.
But you have to tell me
why I have to do it.
If you help me,
I will agree to do everything for you.
What's your name?
Lan.
After today,
you will be called
Lanye.
You saved my life,
and you are my only soul mate.
These years,
I've been waiting for you.
Even though you set the rule,
I will wait for the day
when you cancel it.
I didn't know
that you are so deeply attached to me.
Where is the money?
Hidden in a place that no one knows.
Zhai Lanye visited
these three places
after the money was stolen.
The places seem to be unrelated,
but actually these three places
are around one place.
Yiye Forest?
[Yiye Forest]
You go over there and have a look.
Let's search separately,
and come back here an hour later.
There is miasma in the forest.
I can't stay long.
Constable Yuan.
It's you.
You are not dead.
I'm not.
But you will die soon.
Constable Yuan.
Your Excellency.
You are wounded.
I'm fine.
I just met Zhai Lanye.
She is not dead.
I was wounded because of her.
Unexpected,
but reasonable.
She could get into the prison without anyone's notice and killed Zhou Xianyi.
So this isn't strange at all.
Why can you always guess it right?
Just on my experience.
Yeah.
As an Embroidered Uniform Guard, you are well-informed.
Resurrection
isn't strange at all.
The miasma is poisonous.
We can't stay long here.
Your hand.
Take it.
It can reduce the toxin in your body.
What?
You worry that I may poison you?
No.
I think
if I take it,
what can you take?
I've taken one.
Constable Yang.
Yesterday I saw you were so sad over Zhai Lanye's death.
I thought
some sweet food
might cheer you up.
So I made a snack,
and took it to the Wu'an Sect.
But they said
you are here.
So I...
This is where I first met Zhai Lanye
three years ago.
That day Xie Xiao fled before the wedding.
I came here alone to vent my anger.
Lanye told me
what had happened to her.
She said I was lucky,
unlike her,
who wanted to live a stable and smooth life
with a person
but failed.
Over the three years,
I've seen so many young
and middle-aged men
tried so hard to win Lanye's heart,
but she wasn't attracted.
But when Mr. Zhou appeared,
Lanye thought that he was her Mr. Right.
Unexpectedly,
in the end, she was abandoned
by him for the decision he made.
She killed Mr. Zhou.
I was stunned,
but I understand why she did it.
It became like that
because she was deeply hurt.
But I admire her so much
for her courage in showing her love and hatred.
Right.
Do you know where
the Embroidered Uniform Guard buried her?
I don't know.
I can't walk anymore.
I'm out of strength.
The poisonous gas,
though it won't kill you,
will make you weak
and slow down after breathing it in.
Martial artists can't use internal strength.
I think tonight
we have to stay here,
and we'll go on tomorrow morning.
Staying here?
You and me?
What?
Are you really not afraid of being frozen to death in the forest?
You can still move now?
Go find some branches
to make a fire.
Yes.
Hungry?
You can hunt wild animals to eat.
Look carefully.
What are you waiting for?
Pick it up.
Yes, yes, yes.
I'll go pick it up.
Your Excellency.
Constable Yang.
Thank you very much today
for hearing me out
and walking me home.
You,
you're welcome.
Right.
Miss shuangguan.
If you want to find someone to confide in later,
you can come to me.
I promise
I will not disclose
what you say to anyone.
It's already late.
Constable Yang, good night.
OK.
Good night.
Ah.
This is the snack I made for you.
I almost forget to give it to you.
Taste it.
I think it's not bad.
I'm leaving.
Xi.
It turns out that you
were with Constable Yang all the night.
I feel relieved.
Xi.
What did you buy?
Your Excellency, you really don't want to eat?
No.
Enjoy.
This is the last piece.
I will eat it.
Your Excellency.
It's so dark.
But you could accurately shoot it.
How did you do that?
You want to learn?
I have to consider what you would use for exchange.
How about I performing something for you?
Silly, my love.
Let me get some mud to make statues after us two.
Make one after you.
Make another one after me.
Make them just like us.
Put them on the same bed.
You are with me.
I'm with you.
How is it?
Can you teach me to shoot?
I'm a little tired.
I'll consider it when I get full of energy.
OK.
Your Excellency.
There is a wooden house over there.
Are people still living here?
Hello?
Oh my!
Your Excellency.
You guess it right again.
We are in a trap.
Hurry up, let's go.
Stop!
I've investigated
for the money for a long time.
In the end, you found it first.
You deserve your reputation
as the son of Lu Ting, who is the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Mr. Yan.
Your Excellency.
Mr. Lu.
We
make a deal, OK?
Mr. Yan, what conditions will you propose?
Just go ahead.
This lean horse could come back to life.
I'm much interested.
I will
take her away.
As for the money,
you found it before me,
but as it belongs to the Ministry of Works,
it should be returned to its owner.
So I will also take it.
What do you
think of the arrangements?
Reasonable.
Your Excellency?
Moreover,
this girl,
I really like her,
and I want to keep her as my guard.
