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

[One Year Ago]

Miss Ye,

I am Zhao Feng,
Vice Minister of Justice.

I heard

that you are about to leave the capital,

so I've been waiting here for you.

Mr. Zhao, what is the meaning of this?

I was asked by someone

to deliver this to you.

This is...

Please don't ask any questions.

I have fulfilled my duty.

Safe travels to you, Miss Ye.

[Episode 26]

[The Seemingly Useless
Can Be of Great Value]

You left the capital

without a word,

and I've missed you.

Where have you been

for the past year?

I've been to a lot of places.

Otherwise,

how could I be sitting here?

Stop beating around the bush.

Just tell me.

Why did you become an middleman?

Now that salt prices are so high,

who wouldn't want to seize
the opportunity to earn a little more

and live a better life?

Stop with the act.

Such a glib tongue.

How could she possibly

provide this much illegal salt?

Mr. Yuan, it seems

that you have
a strong prejudice against me.

Since you don't trust me,

feel free to leave.

I'll just find another buyer.

Do you really have

so much salt?

Huang...

Yi...

Min.

He is the biggest illegal salt smuggler

in the Henan region.

How do you know him?

Mr. Yuan,

you truly are forgetful.

How could you forget what I do

for a living?

After I cured

an illegal salt smuggler's headache,

he introduced me

to his leader.

Come on.

Here.

Take another piece.

All right.

Give it to me.

Here's a piece for you.

It tastes amazing.

Forgive me, Miss Ye.

Lives are always on the line
in this trade.

I apologize if I've offended you,

but I can't afford to take risks.

I understand.

[Huang Yimin, an illegal salt smuggler]

Huang Yimin

does have the nickname
"Iron Crutch Huang,"

but no one knows

how he got his limp.

It's a simple story.

His limp wasn't caused

by a physical injury

but by the deep anguish he endured

after his wife passed away.

So you treated him and ended up

forming a connection with him.

Exactly.

It's because of this connection

that he entrusted me

with some illegal salt business.

Your story

is really dull.

Stop wasting time on her.

Let's go.

Mr. Yuan, you haven't even become

the Prince of Kangping's son-in-law yet,

yet you're already trying

to control Miss Wu.

Be careful,

or he might exploit you.

You should worry

about yourself.

You could make a fortune,
but you might not live to spend it.

Enough.

Shaocheng,

how could I refuse

to do business with Ping'an?

If you truly know Huang Yimin,

pick a day

and bring him to see us.

That's very nice of you, Miss Wu.

How about this?

No matter how much
you make from this deal,

the commission
will be a fixed 800 liang.

Sure, no problem.

We'll leave now.

By the way, Mr. Yuan,

it's cold and the roads are slippery.

Be careful

not to fall.

I've warned you.

You're no match for her.

We can find

other ways to get salt.

Why bargain with a tiger?

Mr. Yuan, how well do you know me?

There's no need

to impose your own weakness

onto me.

Be

dutiful and devoted.

It's what I expect

when you're with me.

Who has the audacity

to block my carriage?

An anonymous tip has reached
the Ministry of Justice,

alleging the presence
of illegal salt in this carriage.

Sorry for the offense.

Search it.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

Sir,

we found this under the carriage.

Mr. Zhao,

you know us.

Why could we hide illegal salt

under the carriage?

We've clearly been framed.

Whether it's a frame-up or not,

I'll get to the bottom of it.

Without an official token,

I don't acknowledge any claims.

So once you see the token,

you'll let us go, right?

With it,

you enter the prison as an official.

Without it,

you enter as a commoner.

Have you thought it through?

No need to bother.

We'll go with you

as two commoners.

My friend,

may I ask where Mr. Zhang is?

Mr. Zhang is occupied
with official duties.

He'll only return after a few days.

Wait.

Please go
to the Court of Judicial Review

and tell them that Minister Yuan...

What are you talking about?

Luckily, no one saw it,

or you'd have ruined

my reputation that I've maintained

for years.

Miss Wu.

Ask General Xian to come and get me out.

Yes, ma'am.

[Ministry of Justice]

Miss Wu, are you all right?

Of course.

[Xian Guangping]
I heard from the jailer

[General of Left Yulin Royal Guard]
that Mr. Yuan is still inside.

Should I bring

him out as well?

No need.

He has his own way out.

Who would have the nerve

to frame you?

Who else could it be?

Of course, it's her,

Ye Ping'an.

Ye Ping'an?

Isn't she your friend?

Yes.

But sadly,

we can only be rivals.

I got you out of prison in the past,

and now you've helped me out.

I guess we're even now.

- Nice!
- Nice!

Keep pushing.

Steady yourself.

Hang in there.

Next.

- Excellent!
- Excellent!

Stay steady.

- Just like that.
- Steady now.

To the left.

Good job!

- Amazing!
- Amazing!

Impressive.

Your turn.

Miss Wu.

Why isn't Captain Xian

here today?

He's too proud for his own good.

A few days ago,
he had bad luck and offended

the Commander-in-Chief,
landing himself in prison.

The Commander-in-Chief
is someone who holds grudges,

so he might use this

as an excuse to have him killed.

Thank you for saving my life, Miss Wu.

I would do anything

for you.

Then stop being a captain.

I've made arrangements

for you to join my brother, Wu Ankang,

on the battlefield.

Earn some merits if you can,

but

I want you to return alive

and show me that you can be a general.

Yes, ma'am.

We can never be even.

I mean,

I'll always remember
the kindness you've shown me.

It's etched in my memory forever.

Is that so?

Would you

die for me?

Yes.

Good.

Go find

an illegal salt smuggler
who's met Huang Yimin.

I'll need them.

Yes, ma'am.

[Kangping Mansion]

What's the situation at the front line?

General Wu, with great valor,

led the charge, driving
the Shuodan invaders back dozens of li.

Our main force is now confronting them,

and General Wu

is preparing to seize an opportunity
for a surprise attack.

Advancing recklessly is unwise.

Tell him

not to hurry.

The roads are treacherous in the snow,

and salt,

provisions, and military funds

may be delayed.

Additionally,

inform the granaries along the way,

the Ministry of Works,
and the Ministry of Revenue

that anyone who neglects their duties

will face severe punishment.

Rest assured, sir.

I will take care of it.

Xian'er,

you've been out all day.

Where's Shaocheng?

He has something to take care of.

That person does indeed have salt,

and she claims to be acquainted

with Huang Yimin,

the largest illegal salt smuggler

in the Henan region.

The goods are his.

If it truly is Huang Yimin,

then the amount of salt makes sense.

How much
is the middleman's commission?

Eight hundred liang.

That's the market rate.

However,

you'll be surprised

by the middleman's identity.

She's Ye Ping'an.

There must be a hidden agenda

behind her actions.

If she truly knows Huang Yimin,

then we...

This approach won't work.

Let's try another one.

But Father...

Xian'er.

We...

You're probably not in it for the salt.

What you want is to prove

you can beat her, right?

A few days ago,

Li Yuncheng submitted a memorial,

right?

Yes.

He spoke highly
of the Crown Prince's virtues

and offered his full support.

Her Majesty's response
was just five words:

"No noise in the court."

No noise...

That was Her Majesty subtly warning him,

purposely letting you see it.

It's also a reminder for me.

Stay calm.

I'll have He Yi find another way
to obtain the salt.

[Zuiweng House]

Windborne snow on red silk.

Candlelight on green brew,
a soft tipsiness.

This kind of weather

is perfect for catching up.

Xian'er,

what good stuff

have you brought?

Naturally,
it's Wanguoxiang's signature dishes.

It's true that I haven't had them
in a long time.

You are the only one

who gets to eat the food I deliver.

Well, I feel most privileged.

Huang,

Miss Wu has brought
some delicious dishes.

Come and try them.

An official like her

isn't worthy

of sharing a table with me.

Our tastes in food

are likely different as well.

I've long heard of
the renowned Iron Crutch Huang.

And today, I finally got to meet you.

I never expected you

to hold such deep resentment
toward officials.

But if you won't even try the food,

how can you know
whether it suits your taste?

Even the crops from the same field

are different,

and so are officials.

Some of them are competent,
while others are not.

Huang,

I've tried the dishes from Wanguoxiang,

and they're truly good.

Why don't you try them first?

Some may hold official titles,

but beneath their robes,

they are nothing but animals.

While others, despite humble origins,

possess great foresight

and unwavering loyalty.

This is why I am here

to meet you.

A young girl like you

has come to meet
an illegal salt smuggler like me.

And you dare to face me alone.

I must say you are quite impressive.

Actually,

I didn't come alone.

I brought a gift

to show my sincerity.

I'm sure

you know him.

Miss Wu,

you are truly capable.

He was locked up in prison,

and I've been worried about him
for quite a while.

Hey,

what are you standing there for?

Come over here.

Let me get a good look at you.

Uncle.

Looks like you didn't fully trust me

after all, Miss Wu.

You brought someone
to verify his identity.

Well,

do you believe me now?

It's all

about business.

How much salt have you

brought here?

The winter roads are treacherous,

and

with the strict inspections
around the capital,

I've only brought

a thousand dan this time,

hidden in various parts
of the mountain.

Though the quantity is small,

this first deal will establish

some trust between us.

Future dealings

will be much easier.

In this case,

Ping'an,

I can only pay you

half of the money upfront.

Once the rest of the deals are settled,

I'll pay you the remaining amount.

I hope that's fine with you.

Of course, I won't make a fuss

over this, Miss Wu.

Allow me two days
to prepare the silvers.

After that,

we'll meet at Xiyun Mountain Gorge

to check both the payment and the goods.

Come in.

As the Vice Minister
of the Court of Judicial Review,

how come

you came out a day later than me?

I heard you just came back
from outside the city.

In the end,

you still went to do business

with Ye Ping'an.

So what if I did?

Does your father know about this?

He doesn't need

to know about something this small.

But

if you can provide a thousand liang,

I'm willing

to let you take part in this business,

and I'll give you thirty percent
of the profits.

Since you're in urgent need of money,

this deal

will likely go through
in the next few days.

As I've warned you,

there's something off about Ye Ping'an.

Do you think

I haven't noticed?

She's gone to such lengths
to make connections

with illegal salt smugglers,

which means she's laying

a trap for me.

Then why are you

insisting on doing business with her?

You don't seriously think

I actually want to buy her salt, do you?

I just want to see

who'll come out on top

when we face off again after a year.

If you insist on battling her,

I won't get involved.

Then why are you still here?

Are you waiting to watch me bathe?

It's all my fault.

If I hadn't left back then,

maybe none of this

would have happened.

Aunt, this has nothing to do with you.

[Tomb of Lu Danxin. Tomb of Cailian]
You and Danxin

are both the type to never look back

once you've made a decision.

Have you considered how much

this would break my heart

as your aunt?

I know I haven't been filial.

But I'm destined

to remain so.

Tell me.

Why do you

have to show up for the trade yourself?

You know

it will surely raise suspicion.

Playing a game alone for too long

makes one crave an opponent.

When Wu Xian'er discovers

that I've set a trap for her,

do you think

she'll take the bait?

Take it easy.

Careful.

So adorable.

Who has our Ning come to visit?

Come on, let your uncle
hold you for a moment.

Did your uncle's stern look

scare you?

Our Ning is born smart,

she could tell right away

that her uncle is a bad man.

What are you telling our daughter?

It's true.

Your brother is helping a villain.

Who knows how many people

are bad-mouthing our family out there?

I can't even hold my head high
when I go out.

I'm leaving.

Ning,

never follow in your uncle's footsteps.

Bai Sheng

may be harsh with her words,

but she actually used

the name I gave the child.

She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

By the way,

that He Maoshan

who's always keeping an eye on you

is a despicable man.

Why haven't you gotten rid of him yet?

Mr. Yuan.

You probably don't know what I said

to the Prince of Kangping,

do you?

What do you mean?

After the death

of Lu Danxin,

you and Ye Ping'an

went to her place and looked for

things she left behind.

I overheard

your conversation outside.

Well,

Mr. Yuan.

No need to tense up.

Take it easy.

When I reported
to the Prince of Kangping,

I only relayed Ye Ping'an's words

and didn't mention
that you were also present.

All right.

Why didn't you bring this up to claim

some credit from the Prince of Kangping?

How could I possibly claim any credit?

I'm just an insignificant official

in the Court of Judicial Review.

The Prince of Kangping
wouldn't care about me.

If I offend you,

will I rise in status?

Besides,

right now, the Prince of Kangping
values you.

Only by following you will I have

the chance to improve my position.

Since I see him for what he is,

I know how to use him to my advantage.

Has that missing Ye Ping'an

reappeared?

That's right.

Ye Ping'an has suddenly become

a middleman,

which is highly suspicious.

The Prince of Kangping

has yet to fulfill his promise
to recommend me

for the position of the Right Aide
of the Department of State Affairs.

But if I can get something on him,

I can secure

the Prince's favor.

Zhao Yu.

Yes, sir.

Where's Wenyu?

He went to see Chang Qing again.

Ever since he found out

that Chang Qing is Cailian's father,

he has treated him

as his own father.

Go and tell him

to keep a close watch

on Wu Xian'er in the coming days.

If anything unusual happens,

report it to me.

Yes, sir.

[Xiyun Mountain Gorge]

Miss Wu.

Why isn't Huang Yimin here?

If the buyer and seller are so close,

what's the point of having
a middleman like me?

All right.

Let's check both the payment
and the goods.

[Ministry of Justice]

Wait.

No need to pursue him.

I'm not his target.

[Illegal salt trade in Xiyun Mountain]

Bring some men

and follow me out of the city.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

I saw Wu Xian'er leaving the city,

so I sent someone to follow her

and mark the trail.

Get reinforcements
from the Court of Judicial Review

[Yuan Mansion]
and move out right away.

All the goods are here.

No need for that.

I have full trust in you

as my client.

I assume your salt

is measured fairly and precisely.

Since you're a valuable client,

allow me to see you off.

No need

for courtesies between us.

Farewell.

Stay where you are!

Go!

Arrest everyone on both sides!

This is a letter accusing He Yi

of embezzling river transport fees.

Wu Youjing is a prudent man.

Once he sees it,

he will surely shut down
all the transportation of salt himself.

He'll be desperate

[To the Court of Judicial Review]
to find an alternative.

Ping'an,

we can then make our next move.

Prince of Kangping,

I will redeem myself.

Leave!

Yes, sir.

I'm going to find a new source of salt

to make up for my mistake.

Are you really

only asking for 100 wen per dou?

Since Wu Xian'er considers me

a worthy opponent,

I shall grant her wish

and turn into a mouse,

letting her think
she has the upper hand

while delivering this cat

right where I want it.

[Psychiatric Commissioner]

[Imperial]
So, what was left in the jar a year ago

was the token
of the Psychiatric Commissioner.

Miss Ye, since you have returned
to the capital

and come to me,

you must be here
for something important.

There is an official

in the capital

manipulating the salt trade
for personal gain.

I intend to lure out this big fish.

Salt prices have soared,

leaving the people unable to afford it

and struggling to survive.

It's time to expose

the culprit behind this.

Miss Wu,

I received a secret letter

accusing you,

a court official,

of knowingly breaking the law

by using silver
to purchase illegal salt.

Mr. Zhao,

you've arrived just in time.

I also received a secret letter

claiming

that illegal salt was being traded here.

So I came to make a deal

and draw them out.

Sure enough,

we caught them red-handed.

Please, Mr. Zhao,

take her into custody.

Mr. Zhao,

Miss Wu accuses me
of selling illegal salt,

but buying and selling
are equally punishable.

The silver is right here as proof.

How can I be convicted

based on her words alone?

Sir,

we've found a set
of Mountain-Pattern Armor.

Miss Wu,

are we just going to leave now?

Should we put in place
what you asked us

to prepare?

Yes, do it.

Yes, ma'am.

Ye Ping'an,

you are truly audacious.

Not only do you sell illegal salt,

but you also secretly hoard armor.

Such actions

amount to treason.

I'm just a commoner.

How could I possibly have
this Mountain-Pattern Armor?

Only someone from the Wu family

would have such resources.

You might not have the resources,

but those behind you do.

If the Wu family falls,

the biggest beneficiary

would be the Li family.

Taking such a risk to secure

the Crown Prince's position

is hardly surprising.

Enough.

This is getting more and more absurd.

A matter of such gravity

cannot be determined

by one person's words alone.

This item

was hidden among the illegal salt.

No matter what,

Ye Ping'an can't wash her hands of it.

Someone!

Wait!

I'd like to see who dares
to make a move.

Mr. Zhao,

are you protecting Ye Ping'an

because you, too,

wish to commit treason?

Mr. Zhao,

I'll go with you.

Over here!

Hurry!

You should leave now.

Go!

This man is Ye Ping'an's accomplice,

Huang Yimin,
the biggest illegal salt smuggler

in the Henan region.

Hang on.

Where is his crutch?

Such a cunning act of deception.

This matter involves many parties.

Mr. Yuan,

please hand the person over
to the Ministry of Justice

for a thorough investigation.

I captured this person,

so naturally, the case

should be handled
by the Court of Judicial Review.

Mr. Yuan.

Mr. Zhao,

the suspect Ye Ping'an

escaped under your watch.

Even if it wasn't intentional,

you are still accountable
for negligence.

Stay out

of this matter.

Miss Wu.

Zhao Feng

once submitted a letter
to Her Majesty,

claiming that the Crown Prince
was the rightful heir.

Go to Xinkai Prison

and tell Zhou Mi

that Zhao Feng is involved
in the salt and armor case.

Zhou Mi knows

how to extract evidence

from him.

Yes, ma'am.

The criminal Ye Ping'an
is guilty of secretly trading armor,

resisting arrest,
and flouting the law.

She has fled to Luozhou.

- Luozhou.
- Luozhou.

Anyone who reports her whereabouts

will be rewarded
with 100 liang of silver.

A hundred liang?

Those who assist the authorities
in capturing her

will be rewarded
with 1,000 liang of silver.

[Wanted]

Anyone found harboring her will face

the same punishment as her.

Why is Ye Ping'an

involved in so many crimes?

Indeed.

Exactly.

Get up.

Quiet down.

Someone's trying to sleep here.

How dare you be so arrogant?

Do you even know where you are?

This isn't just any prison.

This
is the Court of Judicial Review Prison.

No matter how tough you think you are,

here,

you'd better bend

and behave.

What's your monthly salary?

With salt costing 400 wen per dou,

how much can you afford
with your monthly salary?

Wait. What's that supposed to mean?

Since you've dropped the disguise,

stop pretending
to be an illegal salt smuggler.

Now,

the crime committed by Ye Ping'an

is far worse than selling illegal salt.

She has hoarded armor.

According to the laws of Great Feng,

one set of armor equals
three crossbows

and three sets of armor
can result in execution.

You should know this, right?

It all leads to death anyway.

Whether the charges are heavy or not,

does it really matter?

I only have two questions for you.

First,

what is your relationship

with Huang Yimin?

Second,

where is Ye Ping'an

right now?

I knew

getting an unyielding man
like you to talk

would not be so easy,

so I came prepared.

How do you plan to torture me?

Just bring it on.

That won't be necessary.

Your real name

shouldn't have been traceable,

but I still found it.

Qiu Yin.

You were once just a farmer,

but you were forced into the life

of a vagrant
when your land was taken.

Only with the help of some friends

did you learn martial arts,

and become a hatchet man for a living.

Hence, the word "loyalty"

is etched on your heart.

How did you find out?

What?

Is something I said incorrect?

For someone like me,

loyalty is the most important thing.

There's no difference between friends

and family.

You corrupt officials

wouldn't understand.

Well said.

Today, I'll see

how you'll choose

between friends

and true family.

If I remember correctly,

you have a cousin

in Ruanyang County.

How about I bring him here

to visit you?

I'll go immediately

and make sure he's well taken care of.

No need.

I can answer

your first question.

Over the past year,

we've been exploring new sources of salt

because we know

Wu Youjing needs salt.

How did you know

that the Prince of Kangping

would halt all the transportation
of salt in Yangzhou

due to a lawsuit filed
by the local silk maker against He Yi?

Could it be that the letter
accusing He Yi

of embezzling the transportation fee,

which was sent

to the Court of Judicial Review
some time ago,

came from Ye Ping'an?

That's right.

As for Huang Yimin,

we don't really know him.

We only borrowed his name

because it is

so widely recognized.

She sure knows how to spin a good story.

The letter of accusation

didn't contain lies.

As for your dear father-in-law,

since last year,

he's been sending people
to the salt fields

under the pretext of capturing bandits

and guarding the salt fields.

He's used every possible trick

to seize land from farmers,

forcing many to become refugees

and resort to selling illegal salt.

You traitor,

how dare you slander
the Prince of Kangping!

Ye Ping'an...

Tell me.

Where is Ye Ping'an right now?

Open the door!

Come in.

What has he had?

Nothing.

He only had two bowls of water
when he came in.

Go fetch the physician.

If he dies,

I'll hold you accountable.

Yes, sir.

[Court of Judicial Review]

Ye Ping'an

doesn't speak a single word of truth.

She

has always

been a master of deception.

Let's find another way

to handle the salt issue.

Where did you get those sets

of Mountain-Pattern Armor?

If you want answers, you should arrest

and interrogate Ye Ping'an.

She's the one

hoarding the armor.

You know full well
that hoarding armor is a serious crime.

Why did you use...?

Had it not been for the armor,

Ye Ping'an

could have easily explained

the source of her salt.

Now that she's back,

the battle

is on.

This time,

we must take her down in one fatal move.

How is he now?

The prisoner is in poor condition

and unfit for interrogation.

Investigate it!

I'd like to see

who dares to poison someone

inside the Court of Judicial Review.

Pass down my order.

No one is to approach

this prisoner's cell

except for me.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

Sir,

I'd like a word

with you in private.

Get to the point.

That old man

wasn't wrong about everything.

With the meager salary I have now,

I can't even afford to use salt freely.

Those are just words
meant to sow discord.

Your salary

might be modest,

but hasn't the Prince of Kangping
given you

quite a few perks under the table?

So I guess

I was wrong

to expect you

to promote me.

I should have sided with
the Prince of Kangping from the start.

Sir,

do you think

I can still change my mind now?

This... This is the engagement gift

the Prince of Kangping gave you.

I wouldn't dare to take it.

This is your reward

once the task is done.

I planned

to give it to Wenyu,

but since you are so eager for merit,

I shall let you have it instead.

What's the task?

Go to Caozhou

and find the real Huang Yimin.

Persuade him to sell illegal salt to us.

I've asked around

and his salt is indeed quite cheap.

If you can make this happen,

you will have earned great merit for me

in the eyes of the Prince of Kangping.

But I have

no connections in Caozhou.

Even if I manage to find

the real Huang Yimin,

I doubt

he'd be willing to see me.

If I had no confidence in this,

I wouldn't have planned

to let Wenyu handle it.

Open it and take a look.

This is...

This is the token.

Huang Yimin, the illegal salt smuggler,

values profit

but cherishes loyalty even more.

He has a son

named Huang Qi.

Coincidentally, I have

a merchant friend

who once risked his life

to save Huang Qi
when he was being pursued

by bandits.

In gratitude,

Huang Qi gave my friend

this tooth he lost in the incident,

promising

to help him

whenever needed.

Rest assured.

I will not let you down, sir.

You have three days.

Get it done, even if your horse

collapses from exhaustion.

Yes, sir.

♪Past events turn to ash,
crushed into mud♪

♪Like a distant dream,
forever out of reach♪

♪Your breaths faded
in silence and distance♪

♪Thoughts form a chapter,
with a reluctant prelude♪

♪The storm of sorrow is beyond words♪

♪In a glance back,
no traces of the past remain♪

♪Lost in regret,
tangled, unwritten, unspeakable♪

♪Buried in time, too fragile to name♪

♪A cup of cold moonlight.
A page of faded tears♪

♪Dreams, scribbled in haste,
fade into dust♪

♪A lone wild goose cries,
echoing through the sleepless night♪

♪Only to clutch fragments of memory
to soothe the remaining years♪

♪A cup of cold moonlight.
A page of faded tears♪

♪Dreams, scribbled in haste,
fade into dust♪

♪A lone wild goose cries,
echoing through the sleepless night♪

♪Only to clutch fragments of memory
to soothe the remaining years♪
