[Kill My Sins] [This is a work of fiction]

[Four years ago]

The Empress Dowager intends to build the imperial temple.

Many officials in the court have been reshuffled.

The Li and Wu families constrain each other.

Zheng Yuan will be transferred back to the capital shortly.

Du Liang has been appointed as Director of the Ministry of Revenue.

[Memorial to My Beloved Mother] [Memorial to My Beloved Father]

Ping'an,

Gui has brought new intel.

The current Empress Dowager rules the court.

She's begun appointing female officials.

Your opportunity has come.

Aunt.

Let's depart for the capital.

[Liaorong House] "Taibai brings female prosperity."

Everyone has heard of it.

People are saying

the Taibai Star is connected

to the Empress Dowager.

Cailian.

[Episode 20] [Moon Pierces, Heart Hidden]

[Ministry of Revenue]

Sir.

Is Chief Secretary Xu in?

Madam has been feeling unwell

and would like him

to return home earlier tonight.

Sir,

do you know

where he has gone?

He went to the Dongqiao Granary.

[Dongqiao Salt Granary]

Mate,

stop looking.

Come get a drink.

Come on.

I was waiting for you to say that.

You know,

it's good stuff.

Here.

Cheers!

It's me.

Why are you here?

For the same reason as you.

How did you get in?

With this.

Where did you get the granary key?

I stole it.

To be precise,

I forged a copy.

Looks like even righteous men

can bend the rules.

Follow me.

There are

at least a dozen bags like this.

As expected,

they swapped salt with sand.

Only collusion

between Xu Qing, who oversees the granary,

and Gong Shao, who manages it,

could have made this happen.

No wonder security outside is so lax.

It was to facilitate swapping the salt.

What's your plan?

It would be best to be able to detain them.

Xu Qing is currently

with Gong Shao.

I'll try to stall them.

Go find Yuan Shaocheng

and have the people from the Court

inspect the granary.

Okay.

Wu Ankang...

Listen to me first.

Last night, Lu Danxin fell into a trap

and was captured by Hai Yiping.

Was she hurt?

For now,

Hai Yiping has only imprisoned her.

I suspect he will use Lu Danxin

to threaten you.

That's actually better.

She will be safe for now.

When you return,

go to Hai Mansion

to check the situation for me.

So I can decide how to rescue her.

When I return?

How do I not know

I'm going somewhere?

Dongqiao Salt Granary.

Wu Ankang is holding up Xu Qing

at the granary.

He wants you to detain Xu Qing

under charges of illicit salt trade

and negligence.

That way,

we can extract more information from him.

[Dongqiao Salt Granary]

Please wait.

Shaocheng.

I'll be right back.

Why did you bring only one person?

Is the Court

that short on people?

I'm not here to arrest anyone.

I came to advise you.

You shouldn't arrest anyone either.

If you act today,

you'll only alert the enemy.

And my advice is

to keep your advice to yourself.

I will not miss

such a good opportunity.

Come on, Shaocheng.

Join us.

Minister Yuan.

Please.

Mr. Yuan,

what brings you here today?

Surely this isn't

a farewell for me, is it?

I...

Shaocheng just told me

that someone reported to the Court

saying they saw

official salt being replaced with sand

and transported into the Dongqiao Salt Granary.

What?

This...

Where does this accusation even come from, General Wu?

The Court

will never accept

such an unfounded claim.

Besides,

you manage the granary.

Your people

would never dare to steal from it.

It is so wise of you

not to believe the false accusation.

We serve with integrity

and our conscience is clear.

Since a report was filed, true or false,

the Court should investigate.

Mr. Gong, please open the granary

for inspection.

What?

[Gong Shao, Granary Magistrate of Dongqiao]

How disheartening.

That's discouraging.

You want to check the granary

based on an unfounded suspicion.

If word of this spreads,

people will think

that even in the capital,

something scandalous is happening.

Exactly.

I have something even more disheartening

to tell you.

It was my people

who traced the illegal salt trade here

and saw

salt swapped for sand.

Right now, in this granary,

out of ten sacks,

at least one sack

is just sand.

This...

This...

General Wu.

What are you talking about?

Exactly.

You'll be held accountable

for the words you said.

There are no suspects here.

No one is to blame.

I'm just doing my duty.

If there is no problem with the granary,

open it for checking

and the case will be closed.

Mr. Yuan...

Wenyu.

Yes.

Open the granary.

Wait...

Yes.

It's...

General Wu,

please do not open the granary.

Exactly.

If this leaks out,

then...

no one would believe us.

Please don't, General Wu.

The salt sacks there

are all sand.

Wenyu.

Since no one believes

what we said,

I guess it has to be seen.

General Wu, now,

you can

rest assured, right?

He is eager to prove himself.

It's understandable.

I understand.

Mr. Yuan,

we haven't finished drinking.

I wanted to toast you.

You haven't had a single sip.

General Wu,

let's

go back for drinking.

Please.

Excuse me.

- Take care. - Take care.

Why the look?

It has nothing to do with me.

How did they know

our actions?

In an instant,

they swapped sand back to salt.

Great.

Now we've alerted them.

From now on,

it will be even harder

to confirm their crimes.

It's okay.

They will show their true colors.

What you're best at

is waiting for the right time, isn't it?

Then let's see

whether they or I

will last to the end.

Sir,

Her Majesty

questioned people from the Directorate for Palace Buildings.

There should be a conclusion

on the Tiansheng Tower construction.

Okay.

[Tomb of Cailian]

Danxin, where have you been?

Aunt,

if you're here

to speak for Ping'an,

don't bother.

Her mistakes were unintentional.

You've come this far together.

Aren't the things she's done for you

enough to atone for her sins?

You want me to forgive her.

Then would the women who died because of her

forgive her?

Du Liang, Li Zongxu, and Hai Yiping

are sinners,

whom we need to punish.

But what is Ye Ping'an then?

She was deceived back then.

Du Liang led a group to hunt her down.

Her parents also died because of this.

She was a victim too.

She's been working hard

to make up for her mistakes.

She gave her everything

for the censor case.

You've seen it all,

right?

No matter what happened,

you two are still sisters.

Go home with me.

Home?

Mother.

Welcome back, Xin.

Look,

is it beautiful?

Yes.

Put it on.

Okay.

Looks great.

Does it smell good?

Yes.

Mother.

Mother was seriously ill.

Go.

I was picking herbs in the mountains

when I fainted.

I always thought

it was bandits who drugged me

until I learned the truth.

Then I recalled before I fainted,

I did see

a girl.

Mother.

When I escaped from the abandoned house...

Mother.

Mother!

Mother.

Mother...

Mother, what happened to you?

Mother...

I...

once had a home.

My mother was there, waiting for me,

her only daughter

and her only hope.

But she was gone...

вҷӘThe residual glow of twilight brushes across my browsвҷӘ

before I could return home.

вҷӘWhile the sorrowful rain lingers, unwilling to dissipateвҷӘ

If it weren't for Ye Ping'an...

вҷӘLife is but a fleeting dream, like smokeвҷӘ

I should have had

a completely different life.

I wouldn't have to suffer

everything I'm going through now.

вҷӘGrief reflects in my eyesвҷӘ

вҷӘAnd I am left to say the final goodbyeвҷӘ

Now, Cailian is gone.

Nichang has also left.

вҷӘThis tragic sceneвҷӘ

And I...

вҷӘReplays over and overвҷӘ

The reunion night you wished for

might not come true.

Danxin,

you know it deep down

even if there were no Ye Ping'an,

there would still be the censor case.

The real culprit

is still at large.

Bringing the culprit to justice

is also your wish,

isn't it?

I take you all as my children.

I have no way

to make you let go of your hatred.

When all comes to an end,

if you still hate her like you do now,

you can do whatever you want.

But now,

you must not direct your sword

to your own people,

Danxin.

вҷӘWhose tears have melted?вҷӘ

вҷӘThe cold fragments of the pastвҷӘ

вҷӘPiecing together this lonely worldвҷӘ

вҷӘHands intertwined, symbolizing enduring affectionвҷӘ

вҷӘLove collapsesвҷӘ

вҷӘAs the sun setsвҷӘ

Mrs. Gu,

when I first kneeled before you,

It was to show gratitude.

Thank you for treating us

as your own children

and giving us a home.

вҷӘThis tragic sceneвҷӘ

Now...

вҷӘReplays over and overвҷӘ

It's to show guilt.

I am sorry for putting you in a difficult position.

And...

вҷӘLife withers and blooms in turn, yet I remain burdened with regretвҷӘ

There might not be a chance for me

to take care of you in your old age.

вҷӘThe pain sears through promisesвҷӘ

вҷӘWhose tears have melted?вҷӘ

вҷӘThe crystal fragments of the pastвҷӘ

I only wish you...

вҷӘRebuilding the face of youth when we first metвҷӘ

all the very best.

вҷӘGrasping the threads of fateвҷӘ

You...

вҷӘStretching across life and deathвҷӘ

вҷӘHow could one escape it all?вҷӘ

Take care.

вҷӘYour tears have meltedвҷӘ

Danxin!

вҷӘThe cold fragments of the pastвҷӘ

вҷӘMaking up this bitter worldвҷӘ

вҷӘPromises carved in the dust of lifeвҷӘ

вҷӘA flash of thoughtвҷӘ

вҷӘAn eternal thoughtвҷӘ

Same as before.

Still unsolvable.

Mrs. Gu,

if you had to

choose between them,

who would you stand by?

I can't.

I'm Ping'an's aunt.

But I also genuinely

see Danxin as family.

Hai Yiping

is much more devious than Du Liang,

Mrs. Gu.

What I'm going to say

may upset you,

but staying by Ping'an's side

won't really help her.

Du Liang

has taken action against you.

If Hai Yiping

does it too,

whether it's Ping'an or Danxin,

it will only make their situations

even more perilous.

Follow me back to the sect.

Ask Master to resolve

this crisis for them.

Meet me at the bridge at Mang Gutter at dusk.

[Court of Judicial Review] Mr. Zhao, you're righteous

and concerned for the people.

I truly admire you.

Thank you

for speaking up for the people of Mang Gutter.

No need to thank me.

I couldn't do much

in my humble position.

It was the Prince of Kangping

who wrote a memorial saying

if the Mang Gutter people were sent to build the Tiansheng Tower,

the officials who discriminated against poor people

would undercut their wages,

not caring if they died from exhaustion

or sickness.

But adding supervisors

would create bureaucracy

and increase the cost of construction.

[Zhao Feng, Vice Minister of Justice]

That would bring more harm than good.

That's why

Her Majesty has stopped sending people from Mang Gutter

to build the tower.

Take care.

The Prince of Kangping?

Shaocheng!

You know what?

I've told them they don't need

to build the tower.

They were so happy

that they almost tossed me in the air.

Let's go back to the Mang Gutter for a drink.

I need to

go to Hai Mansion in a bit.

Lu Danxin was trapped

and captured by Hai Yiping last night.

I need to check on this.

What?

Captured?

I just saw her

at Mang Gutter.

You

must be mistaken.

I have eyes.

She was with someone,

so I didn't greet her.

She was on the bridge.

Seems

she was waiting for someone.

Father, look.

Mother.

Wow,

it's great.

Erya.

How do you read this line?

First comes filial piety, then sincerity and trust.

Welcome back.

Mother.

Father caught a lot of fish today.

Really?

Look.

Did you have fun

with your father, Xin?

Yes.

Here.

Time for dinner.

Father, come and eat.

Coming.

I'll serve you food.

Danxin.

Do you know why

I asked to meet here?

Because I've decided

what price

I want you to pay.

I knew...

this was going to happen.

You know

you should be held accountable for the censor case,

and yet you dare meet me here.

Do you really think

I won't do anything to you?

Where's your dagger?

Take it out.

To fight you?

I won't.

Even if you're going to kill me.

Danxin...

This arrow

was for my mother

and for myself.

But how can I believe

you can harden your heart

and kill Ye Ping'an?

I'll meet Ye Ping'an

at Mang Gutter.

And you will see

when she faces me,

she'll only feel guilty

and will not resist at all.

That's a smart choice of location.

Eyes are watching.

Even my people

won't be able to do anything to her.

Right?

I will prove my sincerity in cooperation.

But

before I get what I need,

she must stay alive.

Mrs. Gu!

Mrs. Gu!

Be careful.

Luckily, this arrow

didn't hit a vital spot.

Where's your medicine?

Is it at the clinic?

I'll get it.

Over in the cabinet,

there are bandages and medicine.

Ping'an,

I don't want

and can't bear to see

you turn on each other.

I can only leave

so I won't burden you.

You avoid speaking of it,

yet the heartache has run deep

and tortured you every year

and every day.

You can't hide it from me.

Few in this world

can cure that heartache.

The one who can cure you

is only yourself.

I am not capable.

I only hope that one day,

you won't hate yourself anymore

and find peace and joy.

Farewell.

Yuan Shaocheng.

Now everyone

has left me.

Even my closest ones.

When I closed down

the Longmen Arena,

the Mang Gutter people

also distanced themselves from me.

Now,

you also know

I'm a culprit of the censor case.

Don't you hate me?

The more they don't know you,

the more terrifying they'll think you are

and the more they gossip.

I crawled up from the bottom.

I don't care

what you did in the past.

I only believe in the person you are now.

вҷӘPast events turn to ash, crushed into mudвҷӘ

вҷӘLike a distant dream, forever out of reachвҷӘ

Thank you.

вҷӘYour breaths fadedвҷӘ

вҷӘIn silence and distanceвҷӘ

Thank you for seeing me

at my worst.

вҷӘThoughts form a chapter, with a reluctant preludeвҷӘ

Thank you for still speaking for me.

вҷӘIn a glance back, no traces of the past remainвҷӘ

You should've told me earlier.

вҷӘLost in regret, tangledвҷӘ

Hold it.

вҷӘUnwritten, unspeakableвҷӘ

вҷӘBuried in time, too fragile to nameвҷӘ

I want to discuss a deal with you first.

вҷӘA page of faded tearsвҷӘ

A deal...

вҷӘDreams, scribbled in hasteвҷӘ

That you might lose on.

вҷӘFade into dustвҷӘ

I hope

you can work with me

to deal with Hai Yiping.

вҷӘEchoing through the sleepless nightвҷӘ

If it succeeds...

вҷӘOnly to clutch fragments of memoryвҷӘ

you will be credited.

вҷӘTo soothe the remaining yearsвҷӘ

At a time like this,

you're still proposing a deal to me.

Are you using your wounds

as part of your bargaining?

Do you think seeing you like this

will make me soften and agree?

Then will my strategy...

вҷӘA cup of cold moonlightвҷӘ

work?

вҷӘA page of faded tearsвҷӘ

вҷӘDreams, scribbled in hasteвҷӘ

вҷӘFade into dustвҷӘ

I'll consider it.

But you must listen to me first.

Apply the medicine.

Come on.

вҷӘOnly to clutch fragments of memoryвҷӘ

вҷӘTo soothe the remaining yearsвҷӘ

What's the situation with Xu Qing?

They switched the sand

back to salt.

We didn't get any evidence against them.

But it may not be a bad thing.

Once they let their guards down,

General Wu will be able to find out more.

Fair.

Burn the calming incense for me.

It's killing me.

I thought you loved acting tough.

What,

not holding on anymore?

Do you think

when someone dies,

is it the dead

or the living ones more pitiful?

That's not comparable.

When someone dies,

no matter

what life they could have lived,

they will never know.

But those still alive

must suffer guilt and sorrow

every day.

Those who live

are the ones who suffer.

"Act before disaster strikes.

Fix it before it spirals out of control."

Hai Yiping is useful to you

but can also be harmful.

It's the Tiansheng Tower this time.

What about next time?

If they reinvestigate the case,

I hope you can take it

and handle it impartially.

The Mei alliance

won't doubt your loyalty because of this.

The case

will also be credited to you.

I am alone now

and have no one to rely on.

It's Hai Yiping or me.

I want you on my side.

Give me time to consider.

I'll give you an answer.

I've shown my sincerity.

Now,

it's your turn.

You did act decisively.

But Ye is still alive.

Next time,

you must aim right here.

That will depend

on how you keep your word.

Before I deliver my promise,

I need you to do one more thing.

Announcement.

There were undisclosed details

about the censor case over ten years ago.

A corrupt official ruled the region with tyranny,

arrogant and indulgent in debauchery,

acting recklessly.

He abused power for personal gain

and oppressed the people.

[Notice] In an abandoned house in Tongquan,

he committed heinous crimes.

By kidnapping countless young women,

imprisoning them in this house,

and exploiting them for bribes.

These women

were murdered

and reduced to ashes in the end.

The accomplice in this atrocity

was Gu Qing, a physician's daughter.

At a young age,

she lured the women into the house

with mesmerization,

causing a monstrous tragedy.

It is a sin beyond redemption.

[Hai Yiping, Lu Danxin] The woman has changed her name

and continues to deceive the people of the capital

with her dark arts.

The woman is the psychiatrist Ye Ping'an!

- Ye Ping'an! - Ye Ping'an!

How could it be her?

The censor case

was known by everyone.

Everyone in town

was cursing Yu Qian,

saying that even whipping his corpse

wouldn't quench their hatred.

The official mentioned in the notice

should be Yu Qian, right?

With Mr. Hai's endorsement,

it must be true.

But

who is Lu Danxin?

Why is her name

also on the notice?

In my opinion,

Ye Ping'an

is truly a wicked woman.

She committed

such atrocious acts

at such a young age.

Ye Ping'an

was just

a clueless child.

To deceive a child

into committing evil is easy.

She's also a victim.

No matter if she was deceived

back then,

the outcome

is that she caused people to die.

This

can never be erased.

Have you heard of it?

Ye Ping'an helped

kill a lot of people.

Yeah.

Is that real?

That's ruthless.

How did things turn out like this?

On the Wan'an Mountain,

did you really

want to kill Li Zongxu?

Your Majesty,

Li Zongxu has committed heinous crimes,

but he's of noble lineage.

I understand Your Majesty wishes to appease the old factions.

I didn't want to put Your Majesty in a difficult position.

Therefore,

I decided to kill him

on the Wan'an Mountain.

I was being reckless

without thinking it through.

Your Majesty, please punish me for my rash decision.

Eloquent,

but were you really trying to spare me difficulty

or were you seeking revenge for the Mang Gutter people

and trying to kill him

out of personal motives?

Your Majesty,

I would not dare.

I chose you

because you are efficient and decisive

and always see the bigger picture.

Everyone has personal biases.

Not just you,

I do too.

Before ascending to the throne,

I endured

countless agonies.

To be fair to all people,

you must abandon personal attachments.

I have a grievance to present.

I beg to see Your Majesty.

Ye Ping'an,

no shouting here.

If you disturb Her Majesty,

you'll be beheaded.

Even so,

I won't leave.

Your Majesty,

the censor's case from over a decade ago

was a wrongful case.

Li Zongxu

was one of the major criminals.

The Seven-Petal Epiphyllum mark

I'm holding

is proof of his torture

of countless innocent women.

Ye Ping'an

is just as reckless

as you.

Your Majesty.

Say no more.

Expel her.

Yes.

There's another matter.

The Imperial Guards reports

Li Zongxu has woken up.

Good.

Ask them

to question Li Zongxu.

Give him a scare.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Over the years,

Li Zongxu has engaged in corrupt trade for profit.

This is

the perfect time to make him

surrender his illicit wealth.

Killing someone is effortless for me.

But how

and when to kill

must be carefully considered.

I failed to understand Your Majesty's difficulties.

It was my fault.

Enough.

Listen.

While investigating Hai Yiping,

you must check everything by yourself.

Until you uncover

all the corrupt officials colluding with him,

do not act recklessly.

Besides,

stay away

from Ye Ping'an.

Yes.

You

still have a long way to go.

[Court of Judicial Review]

Mr. Hai.

Mr. Guo.

Mr. Hai,

[Guo Yu, Minister of the Court] May I know what case

brings you here?

You know

I am a curious person.

Besides,

this involves an old friend of mine.

If this lady hadn't come to me,

I would never have imagined

that this old case

concealed

so many astonishing secrets.

Which old case?

This is the complaint.

I accuse Lu Liang,

the former Tongquan County Constable,

who conspired with his advisor Zheng Yuan

and the bandit Qi Junshan,

of abducting young women

and framing

Yu Qian, the then Monitor Censor,

leading to

over 130 deaths

and causing a massive miscarriage of justice.

Who are you?

Do you know the consequences

of false accusations?

I am

a survivor of the censor case,

one of

the many unfortunate women.

If I utter a single lie,

my head

is yours to claim.

You may rise.

After so many years,

how can you prove

you're a survivor of the case?

Mr. Guo,

when she came to me,

I wasn't sure either.

After all,

this case involves many officials.

Therefore,

I questioned her about her experience.

She described everything

down to the smallest detail.

Her words were filled with grief and pain.

Only then did I begin to believe her.

Of course,

you are the main judge of the case.

The truth of the matter

will be for you to decide.

You said that Yu Qian

was framed by Du Liang.

Do you have any evidence?

Du Liang had destroyed all the evidence.

He even became Director of the Ministry of Revenue.

So all these years,

I never dared to report it.

Du Liang is now dead.

I've just had the courage to step forward.

I managed to approach

the honorable Mr. Hai.

Had Mr. Hai not sheltered me

and agreed to redress my injustice,

today,

I would not be able

to stand here.

Go to the archives

and fetch the censor case file.

Yes.

Wait.

Mr. Guo, there's another thing.

After the case was closed,

someone claiming to be

a relative of a victim approached me

and asked to review the case file.

So I retrieved it for him.

But unfortunately,

he knocked over a candle stand

and set the chamber on fire.

The entire case file

was burned to ashes.

In that case,

there is no physical evidence.

With no proof,

no matter how convincing your words are,

we can't convict based solely on your testimony.

Another person

can prove the censor case was a wrong conviction.

She

was also a witness.

Who is it?

Psychiatric Commissioner,

Ye Ping'an.

Why do I feel like

I've seen this before?

I remember now.

After the military fund case,

you didn't know

whether to save Ye Ping'an.

You had this exact same look.

It's different this time.

Now,

I'm standing

on a square stone platform.

The wind is strong, but I stand firm.

If I choose to help her now...

I will be gambling

everything I have.

Let it decide

like last time.

If it lands on the side with words, you help her.

Without words,

you do nothing.
