How graceful previous Dan Qing Ge was!
It was jammed with people day to day.
How about now?
It is now completely deserted.
Quite often, people shouted into our face.
Our junior brother Er Pang hasn't been heard of alive or not.
Although he is only the disciple
who was adopted after I left, he is still my fellow.
That happened so suddenly
that it gives me goose bump when I think of it.
Xiaolan, don't worry.
Our Excellency is here, I'm sure he will discover the truth.
I do believe in him.
Could you please help me, brother Lu?
I will try it my best.
By the way, before things happened to your Junior brother,
is there anything unusual?
Something unusual?
It...
He has usually complained that his health was not very good.
He had a headache everyday, which makes him strengthless.
Because I thought he was slothful, I didn't notice much.
I don't know why I felt sleepy recently
and didn't have any power.
How about master San Shou?
Is he better now?
San Shou, Er Pang Those two treated each other well
This time, San Shou... has suffered such a serious shock
so he hasn't awoken yet.
Right Master is taking care of him.
Bailiff Yuan.
Go and have a look with me.
Let's go.
Me too.
Don't. You will annoy us.
Sir, wait for me.
Why am I annoying to you?
You, always cause us troubles.
That's enough.
You should sit here and have a cup of tea Sit down.
Am I troublesome?
Master Yuanming Sir Lu How is Master San Shou?
Mentally, he hasn't been fully conscious yet.
Should we invite the doctor to check his condition?
There's no need to do that.
I know some medical skills.
He is just frightened a little.
No worries.
How about senior brother Er Pang?
He hasn't been found yet.
Perhaps, bad omen is much more than good one.
It was going well
why suddenly...
Come on.
It happened His life ends, but ours are moving forward.
Although Er Pang had bad luck, he still would be in heaven,
I'm sure he doesn't want to see you this depressed.
Be strong.
He is right.
There are not many disciples left.
Later on, there mustn't be anything happening to us.
Master.
I... I'm okay.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
I just need you to be fine.
Help him to lie down.
Senior brother Er Pang.
Try to sleep a little.
I found that San Shou felt scared of Yuanming Master.
It's not the respect between Master and disciple.
Or it could be that San Shou knew something.
Sir Should we let Lan Liar investigate San Shou?
Great Master Yuanming always has an eye on San Shou.
Just wait.
Don't beat the grass and startle the snake.
Sir Lu, this move of yours
has ruined the whole match.
That's because I think of the way out,
it's easy to fell in the trap.
I should have quit
Sir Lu, you have lost the game.
Why do you insist on that?
Let's see whether my next move can turn the table or not?
Please.
Magic!
It's a great move.
Thanks for letting me win!
This kind of chessboard,
I myself have been looking for a long time.
It's unsolvable.
Sir, today, a move of resurrection of yours
has solved this chessboard.
How amazing.
You flatter me.
It's just that the person on the spot is baffled.
This move is equal to
thousands and thousands of words.
I admit defeat.
Great master, you are too modest.
Dan Qing Ge today is in danger.
You aren't in any panic when meeting troubles.
Your mentality can't be compared with ordinary people's.
If it were me,
I thought I couldn't act as optimistically as you.
I have experienced difficulties through my years,
come through the vicissitudes of life
and got over joys and sorrows of life.
In case Dan Qing Ge
is ruined under my hand,
that certainly is heaven's will.
Dan Qing Ge these days becomes quiet.
If we want to restore it,
we can only rely on my Lan disciple
However, I'm always worried
about his personality.
Lan Qingxuan is the one who knows gratitude.
I'm sure he can protect Dan Qing Ge.
Great Master, please don't be suspicious.
He is stubborn.
As his master, I know him best
Don't ever just look at his smile.
Deep in his heart,
there are pains.
I heard that Lan Qingxuan has a significant background.
That's right.
He originally comes from an upper-class family
He was totally a loser when younger,
and caused enmity around him.
When his father died, he spent all his heritage,
then suffered banishment
and wandered homeless through the streets.
When he was most difficult,
I adopted him and made him become a monk.
But he is the same as before,
he can't look through things, can't let it go,
he always lives with animosity.
It seems like the life with full of human's curse and despising
is the life for him.
Human's hearts are the most unpredictable.
Anyway, his master is you.
I do believ someday, he will find out
People may be stagnated
because of drowning in to the past.
My hope is that Lan disciple could understand this morality
and get over his inside grief as soon as possible.
Lan Qingxuan is smart,
don't you feel worried too much.
Sir Lu, Sir Lu
I have waited for long.
Here you are.
Grilled feral chicken, I did it myself
especially for you to have a try.
You treated me pretty nice.
What?
I saw a lot of Imperial Guards in front of my Master's door.
Are they supervising him?
Sir.
Don't you suppose that the perpetrator of the medicine case
is my Master?
I can't jump to conclusion
if I haven't thoroughly investigated.
Sir.
My Master is a mild and warmhearted person
who concentrates on being a monk.
Ever since sir Xu promoted him
to take care of the medicine for the Emperor,
he hasn't made any mistakes.
Who knows
that Dan medicine which were rendered to the Emperor
had problems?
I'm sure.
I'm sure that there is someone who envies
that our sir Xu earned our King's trust.
Perhaps, that guy sneakily
poisoned into the Dan medicine
Do you believe in your master that much?
He, to me,
is like my second parent.
Obviously, I believe that he is innocent.
Sir Lu, don't you have a try?
It tastes good!
Do you know what you're doing is called public bribe?
Is eating a chicken a bribe?
Lady Yuan This young master Xie,
he has strange look towards Lady Yuan.
Sir Lu, you have to notice him.
Don't let Lady Yuan be taken away.
Why do you suddenly say that?
You...
Don't tell me that you don't have any interest in her?
Your love is shown so clear when you look at her.
Lan great master has never changed,
you like to guess others' hearts as usual.
However, she has no interest in anyone.
Why do you insist
that someone will take her away?
You are not Lady Yuan,
how could you know that she has no one in mind?
Only fish know how fun the ocean is.
You are not me.
How could you know that I don't know fish's happiness?
Lan Qingxuan Do you want us
to discuss about the fish's happiness?
Okay, just let it go!
How dare I to compare to Zhuang Hui Er Ren
I'm basically a meddler.
Seeing a person in love, I can't stand but advising him.
I... didn't treasure people around me,
so now I can't stop regretting.
If you understand your love,
I think if you have any interest in Lady Yuan,
you must take the chance.
Or else, you would be just like me, keep regretting.
It turns out Lan master has experienced a lot.
Not really.
But it's my feeling of regret.
Sometimes, we may miss each other for a lifetime.
Why are you so emotional like that?
Life shouldn't flow in regrets.
Sir Lu, I want to know the details.
The commander of the army may be carried off,
but the will of even a common person
can't be taken away from him.
Only on my own, just like a little worm,
how could I do?
If your mind has resolved into something,
even when dying nine times
you won't regret for it.
"Even when dying nine times, you won't regret for it". That's a great saying!
It's so interesting
to converse with you.
Let me do that, please let me do that.
Look, the matter between you and Lady Yuan,
I put my mind into it so much.
My Master's affair,
could you please take care of it a little?
This one, this dish is considered as bribe, isn't it?
That's fine.
May I bring it back home now?
I'll wait until things end, then bring another to you.
If there is nothing else,
forgive me, I'll leave now.
If you are hungry, just tell me.
The corpse has disappeared, which makes Jinxia worry a lot.
You know her personality, right?
If she can't solve this case,
I'm afraid that for her whole life,
she can't be released from Dan Qing Ge.
Linger,
what do you think of it?
The affairs of officials don't have anything to do with me.
The corpse suddenly disappeared,
which is weird.
Right.
Linger, As I know the harder the medical technique,
the more you are interested in it.
I suggest we should have a visit.
I don't want to.
Linger, the relationship between you
and Jinxia is good, isn't it?
Now she is in trouble and asks for your help.
As an aunt, ignoring her is not a good idea.
When did I become her aunt?
In Maple Col, didn'r she call her "aunt" all the time?
You didn't reject her,
did you?
Okay. Please help her.
Just like you are doing something fun.
Okay?
What do you think?
Deal?
Xie Xiao, we'll go with you.
That's great!
You two, please pack up your luggage.
After coming back from my gang, I will pick you two up.
Yes, please.
I will see you later.
Linger.
Your hand hasn't completely recovered.
So we can delay the lesson on the other day.
I'm fine.
What do you want to have?
I heard from other brother in the gang that
Xie Xiao will be back soon.
He likes spicy food.
Okay.
I will teach you how to make
a well-known food of Chengdu.
Okay.
First of all, is to slice the fish.
When slicing, notice in how to use the knife,
create proper thickness in slices of fish.
Even though your hand isn't fine,
you can use the knife that skilled.
Cutting with knives can't pose a problem to me.
Anyway, if this were real weapons, I am out of ideas.
My father is usually mad at me because of this.
They are knives, what are the differences?
Surely, they are different.
One to cut food, one to kill people.
Different states of mind.
One makes people feel tasty.
The other makes people no longer have the appetite.
Their functions are also different.
To me, they are all the same things.
Would you like to try?
Come here.
Okay.
Try a bit.
Don't you tell me that you have never used a knife.
I'm just used to swords.
This thing, I... It's okay.
I will teach you.
Wear this apron.
Sister, Sis...
Xie Xiao.
Don't misunderstand.
He is just... You are that close to each other.
I think I am interrupting you two.
I have to go out a little.
It's not like that, I... Xie Xiao.
Xie Xiao you misunderstand us.
Fish, fish.
Slice...
Xie Xiao.
Sister,
You love Yang Yue, don't you?
It's not true.
All he did was to teach me cooking.
I don't misunderstand.
Yang Yue is only a bailiff, but if you love him,
I couldn't agree more.
No worries.
I will take a suitable chance to talk to our father.
It is not as what you think.
Well actually, Yang Yue is quite boring but he is kind.
If you are with him, I won't be worried.
But if he bullies you, I will not let him off.
I told you that there is nothing between us.
Don't you understand?
Sister...
Excuse me.
Why does she suddenly get mad?
Sir.
Clumsy movements.
Perhaps, he doesn't know Kungfu.
Hey.
Are you okay?
I'm good, Sir.
All I need is to take a rest.
Is it the only way for us
to be close to each other?
What did you say?
No, nothing.
I want to be alone to think.
Lady Shangguan, you seems to be lost in thoughts.
Is there anything that causes you sorrow?
A person's lifetime
won't be fully perfect,
but I believe that a part of it will be satisfying.
Why don't we enjoy that bit of satisfaction,
so that we could live happier.
It's easier when saying.
Smiling
makes you more beautiful.
Why don't you smile much?
I manage from little by little things in this gang
and communicate to all kinds of people.
A smile won't awe them.
Jinxia
belongs to the officials,
also has met all kind of people.
But her style
is that she smiles to all of them.
When she was in the capital,
when investigating
or working,
she won't make it for profit.
Brothers ourselves in Imperial Police Department
can't be compared to her.
You all love Lady Yuan.
Jinxia is smart,
chivalrous,
casual
and pleasant to everyone.
She never surrenders
when meeting difficulties.
Although we didn't have chance to meet each other much,
I can feel her enthusiasm towards life.
What a pity when we are way too different.
She can do things in her way and as her wish,
happily experience her life.
Whereas, everyday I wake up,
I have to worry about thousand of people in this gang.
But those things are not your responsibilities.
You are just a lady, if you feel tired,
find yourself a man to lean on.
Lean on?
Who can I lean on?
Xie Xiao is not bold enough.
Why it must be Xie Xiao?
You should look around you, there are many options.
You also have... A stranger may be kind,
but he's not enough to trust.
Because I have previous engagement with Xie family.
Marrying Xia Xiao,
managing well Wu An Gang are my fate.
Is it?
I have things to solve I go first.
Obviously, I can't get her,
why do I keep trying?
You two, please go this way.
Great master Yuanming.
Childe Xie.
You are...
This is Uncle Gai.
This is Doctor Lin.
They are coming in order to investigate the case with us.
My beloved disciple has disappeared for no reason,
I hope you two can find out the reason
so that this place are returned innocence.
No worries, we will try our best.
Please.
Sir I invited uncle Gai and Doctor Lin
with the hope that they can help us figure out the truth.
I sent Cen Fu to check documents in the Imperial Guards,
but he didn't find out anything.
Do we have to label them as an unsettled case?
Sir, is this case related to
the case of devoting Dan medicine to our King?
Why do you say that?
The King used those Dan medicine from Dan Qing Ge
then was ill, which made rumors everywhere.
People said those Dan medicine are evil demons and heretics.
And now, problem happened to master Er Pang,
which inevitably makes people think of the link between those.
I send Lan Qingxuan to get the chronicle about Dan Qing Ge.
We will have a look then talk about it.
Sir, are you going now?
Open the door.
Sir, wait for me.
Yuan I bring you the documents.
Thank you.
Sir, please have a tea.
Yuan
Why don't you treat us equally?
Don't I?
Look, we are all working but only him who has tea to drink.
He has snacks, I don't.
He has fruits, I don't have any, even a peel of it.
Do you know I'm helping you with the case?
I helped you to find Uncle Gai,
helped Lan Qingxuan to find the documents.
For hard things I did, should I be treated better?
Are you making a fuss about those little things?
Of course.
Is it fair?
This is his leftovers, how can I take it?
Then forget about it.
Xie Yuanyuan,
what's wrong with you?
You are no longer a kid, why are you still jealous with him?
Aren't I?
If I didn't take any actions,
you would be taken away from me.
What are you talking about?
Have you fallen in love with him?
Are you out of your mind?
He is our boss, how can I... Right, that he was the boss
was the past.
What about now?
Is he still a boss to you?
Of course he is.
He is not the one I can reach to.
Sir, sir, sir.
Eight out of your ten sayings are all about him.
Working around him, talking about him.
He is the only guy in your eyes and heart, do you know that?
Yuan Jinxia,
answer me, do you love him?
Being speechless means you admit it.
Admit what?
First, there is nothing between us.
Even though I take a fancy to him,
it's none of your business.
Why not?
If you love him, how about me? What can I do?
Today, I have to clearly talk to you about this,
your thought isn't proper.
Listen, Lu Yi is the son of the officer.
That you stay beside him makes you be in danger,
so you should be with me.
Even though my family's background has less power than his,
I can protect you.
Enough?
I...
I, Yuan Jinxia, choose which kind of person,
it's still none of your business.
You only have relationships with that sister Shangguan.
Sister,
I just consider her my older sister.
I have no other feelings for her.
How can you say that?
That year you didn't get married and left,
sister Shangguan had to bear a lot of gossips on her own.
She had been waiting for you to come back.
But when you came back,
you didn't have got a single explanation.
You have always owed her an explanation.
You'd better think twice.
Jinxia.
Today I need to have a heart-to-heart talk with you.
First, sister can't fall for me.
Second, I don't have special feelings to her.
I can never be with
a person that I don't have any special feelings.
Xie Xiao, why could you say such things?
It's irresponsible of you to say so.
I Sister Shangguan loves you,
I don't believe that you have no special feelings towards her.
I really don't... Alright, don't say anything.
Just deal with your own stuffs.
Don't interfere with mine.
I haven't finished speaking, just listen to me first.
Jinxia, don't leave, please.
I haven't finished saying everything, Jinxia.
That's right.
I owe sister an explanation.
Arrange it now.
Yes.
Prior.
Young Master sent you a letter.
Letter of engagement cancellation.
I, Xie Xiao followed my parents' requirement
and the matchmaking to agree with the marriage
and exchange the horoscope card.
However, because I don't have enough good qualities,
I feel ashamed in front of Shangguan
so I have ask for permission from my parents
to cancel my engagement with Shangguan Xi.
I will give you back your horoscope card.
The decision is made based on my willingness.
I'll never regret it.
From now on, each of us can freely get married
and has no relationship with the other.
This letter is
the proof of the cancellation.
Are all the local authority's officials that free?
You even want to deal with our Wu An Gang's stuffs.
Xie Xiao.
You are my sister and the person who I practice martial arts with,
how can I get married with you?
Therefore,
before the wedding,
you had left.
Marriage
is not a joke.
Do you deserve Shangguan Xi?
Sister will be truly happy with my happiness.
She is the person who knows me most
so she won't care about what others say.
I'm afraid she will have some misunderstandings
so let's go with me.
She will know there's nothing between us.
No romantic relationship.
I know you will help me for sure, right?
Now you don't even let me to look for the girl I love.
Sister, I really fall for Yuan Jinxia.
Alright.
I get it.
You can go.
Unbelievably,
this day comes so quickly.
Why do you have to be so hasty?
Have you ever thought for uncle Xie and Wu An Gang?
Xie Xiao.
You decide my future yourself.
Is it
the result that you want?
Lady Shangguan, it's getting cold.
It's easy for you to have a cold in such clothes.
This is...
Why do you come here?
Because I'm worried for you.
You said
when I could find a perfect husband,
in my wedding,
you would take this from the bottom of the lake for me.
Unfortunately, it's now useless.
Does it have to be Xie Xiao?
Can't it be a different person?
Since our proposal,
I had been thinking about our wedding all the time.
About the moment we drink a cup of wine together,
the wine that my father specially made for me.
Now,
his letter of engagement cancellation
has destroyed all of my expectations completely.
If the person I get married to isn't him,
does this wine
have any values?
The world is changing a lot everyday.
Why do you have to be that persistent?
Because in my heart,
he has left deep impression that can't be erased.
How can I forget him?
How can't I be persistent?
As you have come,
have a drink with me.
Have a seat.
Everyone says that this special wine
tastes sour, sweet, bitter spicy, fresh and astringent.
When I drink it,
why can I only taste one flavor,
which is bitterness?
Because in your heart,
there is only one persistence for Xie Xiao.
Maybe that's the reason.
If he hadn't saved me at first,
there wouldn't have been only him in my eyes.
I have waited silently,
with the hope that if I give him freedom
and wait for him to come back,
he will see what I've done for him
and he will care about me.
Unexpectedly,
he doesn't give me any attention.
Everyone says that I'm courageous
when I can manage Wu An Gang on my own.
They all think I have big ambitions.
Actually I didn't need him to save me.
I just want
to have a peaceful life together.
However,
repeatedly,
from time to time,
he has been repeatedly indifferent to me.
Is it because I am not good enough,
or I'm not suitable for him?
Do all of my efforts only prove
there's no destiny between us?
I heard someone say that
destiny can't be expected.
Destiny is like wind Wind is restless.
Clouds gathering is destiny.
Clouds drifting away is also destiny.
Romantic stuffs
are like clouds gathering and drifting away.
Destiny is like wind. We can meet it but can't force it to see us.
Destiny leaving or staying
is only in humans' thoughts.
But the choices of this thought
are really bitter.
Alright.
So today,
I will drink this special wine to the last drops with you.
Come on.
Xiaoxin.
What happened?
It's impossible.
It couldn't have been Xiaoxin.
Why could it be Xiaoxin...
What happened?
Master.
They... They... They say
This is Xiaoxin.
They say this is Xiaoxin.
Xiaoxin.
Don't touch him.
Xiaolan.
Why is the murderer so cold-blooded?
Oh my god.
He's just a kid.
