Under The Power
Episode 14
When my boss
was a kid, he lived in Fujian for several years.
So Yue cooks in the southern style.
They don't call it spring pancake, but moistened pancake.
Once you get used to it,
you will find it tasty.
Constable Yang is clearly from Jiangxi.
Why did he live in Fujian
for such a long period when he was young?
I don't know it, either.
Your Excellency, taste it.
No, thank you.
I'd like to eat some other vegetables.
Your Excellency, you are so picky.
You were not favored by others when you were a kid, were you?
You were favored by others when you were a kid?
Of course.
I wasn't picky at all. I ate whatever I had.
My mother said when she came to the orphanage,
a group of kids were eating there.
I was the one enjoying my meal the most.
She liked me at the first sight.
I hope that I can save enough money as soon as possible
to look for my real parents.
You are an orphan?
I got lost as a child,
and couldn't find my family.
I lived in the orphanage for a period of time
until my mother adopted me.
Your Excellency,
I know what the Embroidered Uniform Guard can achieve.
I also know that you are good at searching for information.
You have agents everywhere.
If I do it well this time
and seize the criminal quickly,
can you help me
find my real parents?
If you help me,
maybe I can find my family.
Today, I invited you here for this
to ask for help formally.
Mom!
Do you really want to find your family?
After all, since I was a kid,
I have never seen my family,
and I don't know if they are alive or dead now.
I hope you can help me.
If you help me,
I can invite you for another meal.
So you're saying that if I help you,
I will have to eat these vegetarian dishes again?
About the dishes here,
the ingredients were taken from the official postal station's kitchen.
They didn't cost you any money, right?
How do you know that?
But it's not important.
It doesn't matter as to how much money I spend,
and what matters is the gratitude I want to express through the dishes.
I know you understand it.
The ingredients weren't bought by you.
The dishes were cooked by Yang Yue.
The wine belongs to me.
I really want to know
through what you can express your gratitude.
No, I washed all these vegetables.
And this dish, this dish,
and also the soup,
I made them.
Yang Yue just came at the right time to help me.
Well,
the pancake was also rolled by me.
They all express my gratitude.
Your Excellency, I will roll a big one for you.
No, thank you.
I don't want seaweed.
OK, I got it.
So I will give you
stripped turnip
and stripped tofu.
I noticed that you ate them all the time.
Your Excellency, try it.
Your Excellency,
thank you for helping me solve this big problem.
To you.
Wait.
You are a girl,
so don't drink wine.
Don't drink anymore in the future.
Your Excellency, are you worrying that
I may do crazy stuff after getting drunk?
Don't worry.
I've never been drunk since I was born.
You have never been drunk?
So what happened between you and Xie Xiao last time?
That time I was in a bad mood.
It was an accident.
Don't drink outside ever again.
OK. I won't.
Your Excellency, please eat.
Come on, you eat, too.
Thank you. Thank you.
This dish by Yang Yue is the best.
Enjoy.
You eat first. After you finish these, I will eat.
And eat some of this.
Your Excellency, you must be tired after the long day.
Let me massage your back and shoulders.
No, thank you.
Let me massage your head
and smoothen your veins. You'll feel very comfortable.
No, thank you. I feel very good with my head now.
Or
I can boil some water to soak your feet.
No. It's OK.
Your Excellency.
No, thank you.
Err...
Your Excellency.
No, thank you.
Everything is fine for me now.
I don't need anything.
Your Excellency, I'll get you a pot of tea.
No, no, thank you.
You can drink it after eating the greasy dishes.
No, thank you. I told you I don't need anything.
Your Excellency.
No, thank you.
What about some dessert?
I don't want it, either.
I don't need anything.
There's no possibility that I need something.
Your Excellency.
No, thank you. I really don't need anything.
Father.
Master.
You don't need the crutches anymore?
Your leg is healed.
It seems that Dr. Shen's medical skills are amazing.
Master, why did you look for me?
I heard that
you prepared some vegetarian dishes for Mr. Lu?
That's right.
Speaking of which,
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
It's about my family,
my real parents.
How's it going?
Did you find some clues?
I didn't.
But I asked Mr. Lu for help,
and he didn't refuse me directly.
I think the Embroidered Uniform Guard is good at looking for information
with agents everywhere.
If he really helps me,
I may find my family.
Master, what's wrong?
Kneel down.
Father, if Mr. Lu helps,
isn't it a good thing?
You kneel down, too.
Both of you,
you are
really stupid.
I have wasted my time teaching you over these years.
What is Mr. Lu?
He is an Embroidered Uniform Guard.
I've told you time and time again
to be cautious
with the Embroidered Uniform Guard,
and not to get close with them.
Or you may not even know it
when they trick you.
What is Lu Yi?
And what are you?
You are just a lowly constable
of Department Six.
He gives you orders,
and is polite to you.
That's superficial.
This may sound harsh, but in his eyes,
you're no different from a dog.
And you,
with a ladder, you climb up
shamelessly.
Father, saying that...
Shut up.
Both of you, listen carefully,
from now on, say and do what you should say and do.
If I find that you do something out of rules again,
I will break your legs.
Understand?
Master, why are you so mad at me like that?
I don't think I did anything wrong,
and I don't feel
that I'm as lowly as you said, either.
Because I'm afraid that you may get hurt.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards are not normal people.
Master,
in your eyes,
am I really shameless?
Sorry,
I said it too harshly.
Stand up. Stand up.
But recently,
you and Mr. Lu got too close.
For a person like him,
you'd better stay away.
What do you think?
I just think that
he is not a bad person.
A person like him
has many followers to curry favor with him.
Just remember,
you must
respect and stay away from Mr. Lu.
Especially Jinxia,
you must keep it in mind.
Yes.
Yes, father.
About your real parents,
I have my way.
You may go.
Let's go.
According to the Heaven's will and the Emperor's command,
the 100,000 tael of silver for the repairing of the dike has been recovered.
In this case, the Embroidered Uniform Guards have made great merit.
Lu Yi is promoted to Assistant of the Upper Fourth Rank.
By the Emperor Himself.
I appreciate His Majesty's kindness.
Long live His Majesty.
Congratulations, Mr. Lu.
Your Excellency,
the case of the missing money for the repairing of the dike of the Ministry of Works has been closed.
Isn't it time for us to return to the capital?
No need to hurry. Constable Yang's leg has just healed.
Now the scenery in Yangzhou is
at its best time.
As we are already here,
we can stay for a few days.
I've worked under Your Majesty for years,
but this is the first time I see you show your interest in it.
Why don't I hear
Constable Yuan's voice early this morning?
I saw she left for the Wu'an Sect with Constable Yang.
Err...
Is there anyone inside?
What happened to you?
Why did you close the door with no one outside?
Who are you?
I'm Yang Yue.
Please inform Young Master.
You're looking for Young Master?
That's right.
You haven't known it yet?
Last night the Dongs' Sect on the Water occupied the Wharf of Yangzhou.
The buddies couldn't stand it, so they started a fight.
This morning Master and Young Master,
took the chiefs there.
What they did is outrageous.
Let's go to the wharf and have a look.
The Wharf of Yangzhou was under the Wu'an Sect's control.
Last night you
dispatched people to occupy it by force,
so that none of my cargo ships
could berth.
Are you
falling out with us?
Mr. Xie, it's not that.
Actually, the Wharf of Yangzhou
doesn't exclusively belong to the Wu'an Sect.
Now I like
this wharf that can bring a large amount of income,
so I just want to share it with you.
Share?
What do you mean?
We can become allies through marriage.
If the two sects
become allies through marriage,
we'll form a powerful alliance.
The majority of waterway shipping in Yangzhou
will be under our control.
If you agree,
we can enlarge our territory,
and incorporate
all big and small waterway shipping sects around Yangzhou
into ours.
In the near future, we can take waterway shipping under our control.
How dare you!
If your grandfather were still alive,
he would be so sad
hearing what you just said.
Your grandfather and I used to be friends.
He was kind,
followed principles in the martial art world, put the overall national interest first,
and he never did anything against his conscience.
Why don't you have
anything resembling him?
Principles in the martial art world? The overall national interest?
How ridiculous!
I didn't expect that
you are such an old-fashioned man.
Nowadays, whoever gives you milk is your mother.
In waterway shipping,
as long as you have no conflict with the authorities or go against the law,
you can do anything you want.
Tell me, am I right, sunshine?
You bastard,
how can you compare yourself with the Wu'an Sect?
Go and ask around,
is there anyone
praising you bastards?
I'm a bastard?
I wonder who left
the bride on the wedding day
and sneaked away?
Such a poor and pretty bride.
Wait.
You dare say that again!
Xie Xiao, don't do anything on impulse.
What? You can't convince me so you resort to your fist?
Come on, come on.
Mr. Wei has arrived.
Are you all blind?
You dare gather and fight when I'm here.
Has the law become useless?
Mr. Wei,
I'm a reasonable man.
Please tell me, how should we deal with this?
I'm also obedient to the court.
Mr. Wei, please make a judgment for us.
He is the one who started the fight.
If you hadn't offended us,
I wouldn't have wanted to beat you.
Look at him.
You are renowned.
In front of so many people,
don't you feel ashamed
arguing with each other?
If you continue like this,
how can goods be transported through the wharf?
I order you, no matter how,
to resolve this problem today.
Fine.
Since Mr. Wei said it,
then how about this?
We are in the martial art world,
so let's compete.
The winner
will take charge of the Wharf of Yangzhou.
You mean...
The one that erects the flag wins.
Mr. Xie, what do you think?
Then I'd like to ask Your Excellency to be the judge.
OK.
I agree.
Father.
Why do you agree with them?
The Wharf of Yangzhou
has been under the Wu'an Sect's control.
If they dare cause trouble again,
we just beat them and drive them away.
Why do we need to compete?
I want to defeat them with our strength.
I'm not scared of anything,
but I will never
compete with this bastard.
Master.
Yue.
This competition is surely not so simple.
Dong Qisheng must have got prepared beforehand.
Dong Qisheng is sly.
Especially because of the way he looks at Mr. Shangguan,
I even want to rush over there...
What do you want to do?
To kill him.
Calm down, calm down.
Just keep watch on him.
Don't let him take any evil action
before the competition.
OK.
What about you?
I'll figure out a way.
Keep watch on him.
Xie Xiao!
Xi.
So you still know who I am?
How old are you?
But you're still so unrestrained?
Master must have his reasons
doing that.
Don't just think that everything he does is wrong.
Do you think that in this world
only you're right?
Xie Xiao, no matter what,
Mr. Xie is your father.
No matter how angry you were,
you shouldn't have disobeyed him
right in front of other members of the sect.
My father is upright and keeps his word.
I'm worried that
he would be tricked by that evil guy.
Moreover, the Wharf of Yangzhou has been
under our control.
What right do they have to fight us for it?
Everyone knows what kind of person Dong Qisheng is.
If he takes control of
the wharf,
it'll be terrible.
Master knows that,
and he won't do nothing.
I think Ms. Shangguan is right.
Xie Xiao, please calm down.
Besides, you've spent three years outside in the martial art world.
I bet you have learned much.
Maybe Master agreed
because he wanted to see what you can achieve.
Mr. Xie, please.
Mr. Dong,
what do you mean?
According to rules of the martial art world,
whether you'll win or not, after you drink this bowl of wine,
it means you have put your lives in this competition.
You can do anything in the competition, and if anyone dies, the other side can't take revenge.
What kind of rule is that?
People fight fiercely in a martial art competition.
If we drink wine, we may cause light or serious wounds, and even a death.
That would be inappropriate.
Mr. Xie, you are wrong.
Since it's a competition,
we have to fight fiercely.
We're in the martial art world.
Mr. Xie,
just stop hesitating and drink the wine,
or others would laugh at you.
I'd like to drink it up first.
Please.
Greetings, Your Excellency.
Your Excellency.
What are you doing here?
I'm wondering
how I should tell Mr. Lu later?
He has just left.
How do you know...
Your Excellency.
So you're here.
What's the matter?
Err...
Well...
Why are you smiling?
Just say it.
Here is the thing.
The Dongs' Sect on the Water forcibly
occupied the Wharf of Yangzhou.
To deal with those scoundrels,
the Wu'an Sect has agreed to
compete with them for the jurisdiction over the Wharf of Yangzhou.
However,
the Master of the Dongs' Sect on the Water is cunning,
and he will definitely play some dirty tricks in the competition.
I know that you're very skilled in martial arts
and extremely smart.
With your little help,
the Dongs' Sect on the Water
will be driven out of the waterway shipping circle.
So you are here for that?
Your Excellency.
It seems that you are quite free recently.
You even worry about others' matters.
You're wrong, Your Excellency.
This isn't just a fight between the two sects.
You see, Dong Qisheng is sly and cruel,
and he did a lot of bad things.
If they win and take over the wharf,
they will bully the people, expand the sect,
and monopolize waterway shipping in Yangzhou.
And you know, Japanese pirates run wild along the coast.
If he colludes with them,
then the consequence will be disastrous.
So,
Your Excellency,
you just need to take some slight action,
and you can protect the people's safety here.
Why not do it?
It seems that
you are really working hard
for the people's sake.
Of course.
So, Your Excellency, please.
I won't go.
Why?
I think highly of your nobility,
but I won't get involved in this matter.
Your Excellency!
Lu Yi, you're so cruel.
Mr. Xie,
you don't look very well.
What's wrong? Why is my stomach aching?
Why?
Mr. Dong, something is wrong with your wine.
Mr. Xie, that's nonsense.
We drank wine from the same jar.
If there's any problem,
why are my men and I still good?
Come on, what's wrong?
Fei.
Young Master.
Come on, stand up.
Fei, what's wrong?
My stomach is aching.
Where's my father?
Master is over there.
It looks like they are drugged with a laxative.
Jinxia, you're right.
Dong Qisheng played a dirty trick.
What's wrong?
Mr. Wei.
Sit down.
Didn't I tell you to keep watch on him?
I didn't expect that he would drug them.
What now?
The competition is about to start.
With their condition, they can't fight.
Tell your competitors to get into the arena.
These cunning bastards really played a dirty trick.
I have to teach them a lesson.
Xi, let's go.
In this situation, it's the only way.
Let's go.
I hate those devious guys the most.
Yue, we should do something.
I agree.
Let's go. Let's go.
What?
The Wu'an Sect have no men?
Even women come to fight.
The four of us are enough to defeat you.
Those who are arrogant will lose.
Don't be smug so soon.
We don't know who will win yet.
Alright.
This is a fight in the martial art world today.
On the invitation of Mr. Xie and Mr. Dong,
I'm here as a judge.
The rule is simple.
You all see it.
Each team has a flag.
The team that takes their flag
and erects it on the platform ahead first
will get control over the wharf.
In the process, you can't fatally harm the opponents.
Additionally, if someone steps outside the white lines,
he or she will be disqualified.
The competition starts.
Please move aside.
Move aside.
Your Excellency, I have looked into it.
These years the Dongs' Sect on the Water
has been dominating the market and acting cruelly and wildly.
The robust one fighting Jinxia
is an important criminal wanted by the court, and his portraits have been posted.
Jinxia, are you alright?
How are you?
I'm fine.
Ms. Shangguan, are you alright?
I'm fine.
Your hand got wounded.
I'm fine.
Protect the flag!
Xie Xiao!
Stop!
Mr. Wei.
Weapons are not allowed in the competition.
Mr. Xie,
your people are good at martial arts,
and mine are great with weapons.
Each side does what they are good at. What's wrong with it?
I think you are trying to cheat as you're losing.
That's nonsense.
Mr. Wei, I think today's competition
should be stopped.
Mr. Wei, before the competition,
we didn't say that weapons are not allowed.
But I did say that
fatal harm is not allowed.
Someone.
Yes.
Take him away.
Yes.
Go.
Continue.
Jinxia!
Mr. Wei, this,
this is against rules.
Against what rule?
According to rules,
each side can have five people.
This is my fifth.
Fine.
Why didn't he
appear at the beginning?
Before the competition, the time for appearance hadn't been ruled.
Mr. Dong, I have already told you,
as long as there's no fatal harm, everything is fine.
Xie Xiao.
Great.
We have the result.
The Wu'an Sect wins.
Great! Great! Great!
The jurisdiction over the Wharf of Yangzhou belongs to...
Mr. Wei,
I can't accept it.
The Wu'an Sect
is so sly that they got outsiders' help.
How can they be judged as the winner?
Your Excellency, they're here.
They are the Wu brothers, wanted criminals of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Outsiders?
I wonder since when
wanted criminals became members of the Dongs' Sect on the Water.
Err...
Since you both got outsiders' help,
then it's even.
Mr. Dong, you want to disagree?
I don't dare to.
The jurisdiction over the Wharf of Yangzhou belongs to the Wu'an Sect.
Great!
Thank you.
Great!
Mr. Dong,
the Wharf of Yangzhou
- doesn't belong to the Wu'an Sect... -Xie Xiao.
...but it's under our control.
It's only because of my respect for your grandfather
that I spare you today,
or else I'd have punished you a long time ago.
Xie Baili,
you are such a two-faced person.
You agreed to compete with us,
but then you asked for the Embroidered Uniform Guard's help.
You old fox,
you'd better pray for not falling into my hand.
If I get you,
I will make your life worse than death.
Let's go.
Thank you.
I'm grateful for your aid.
Because of you, we finally won.
I cannot be grateful enough.
Mr. Xie, you're exaggerating.
How is that exaggerating?
Without you,
who knows if we could win this competition.
We truly thank you.
It's what we should do.
Lu, I'll remember what you did for us today.
You'd better remember it. Don't ever forget it.
Your Excellency, I thought you wouldn't come.
So you are not so cold-blooded after all.
You took
your life at risk
to protect the people's safety, didn't you?
However,
I did that to seize the wanted criminals.
Don't think too much
Fatty, I heard that you woke up.
Are you OK?
Did you apply medicine?
Not yet.
Look at you right now.
You look the same as you got beaten
when you were young.
Only a pig is so fat.
I'm not a pig, I'm not fat at all.
My handsome face.
Is it because I'm not handsome and cool now
that you don't like me anymore?
I...
The doctor said
medicine should be applied every two hours.
But my maids are so lazy.
It's been four hours,
but why didn't they come to apply the medicine on me?
I'm going to call someone for you.
No need to bother. You can do it for me.
I do it for you?
Where?
Here, here, here.
I'm wounded everywhere.
So you really want me to do it?
Come on.
Take off your clothes.
Take off my clothes?
There are wounds on your body, right?
If you don't take off your clothes,
how can I apply the medicine?
Yeah, yeah.
Ouch.
Undressing myself is really painful.
How about you helping me do it?
Come on.
Alright, I'll take your pants off first.
Why do you need to take my pants off?
Aren't your legs injured?
Come on, let me take off your pants.
Don't, don't, don't.
Why are you not embarrassed?
If I cannot endure such a trivial matter,
how can I work in Department Six?
Moreover, it's just applying the medicine for you.
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Lie down.
Where?
On your body, right?
Which one is it?
Are you sure you want me to do it?
Bear it.
You have to endure the pain if you want to heal.
Bear it, bear it.
Does it hurt?
How about I getting a maid for you?
No need, no need.
So bear it.
Stop yelling.
The more it hurts, the better it works.
Bear it.
It's finished.
Do you feel like you're living a new life?
It's finally over.
If you had gone on,
I would have died right here.
Jinxia, thank you.
What for?
Thank you for applying the medicine for me.
Jinxia,
actually, I want...
Rest and heal up.
Lie down and sleep.
Rest, you hear me?
I'm leaving. Don't move around, and rest. I'm going.
I, I haven't finished yet, Jinxia.
Jinxia.
Yuan Jinxia, I like you!
He's crazy.
I tortured you like that,
and you still like me?
Yuan Jinxia, I like you!
Yuan Jinxia, do you hear me?
I will marry you!
Ms. Shangguan, what happened?
Why didn't you dodge?
You are in a bad mood.
If you want to take it out on me
to cheer up,
I can only wish for it.
Why would I want to dodge?
Why do you come here?
This is the medicine I brought here from the capital.
You can apply it on the wound on your hand,
and there won't be a scar.
Here, take it.
Thank you.
Is there anything else?
Nothing.
I was just worried
about you.
