"Be a worthy successor to ancestral greatness"

THE FIRST EPISODE

Madam...

What is it?

They're here

Go outside

Hurry...

Hurry

Pour some tea, hurry!

Humor them, I'll be right there

Coming

Ying Ying...

Mother

They're here...

Bastards!

Don't lose your temper

Come

I'll teach them a lesson

So they know we're not to be trifled with

Come when the tea is ready

Where is she?

Go away!

Move aside!

Yes

She's preparing your tea

See? There she is

Thanks for your trouble

Why such a big pot?

Out of respect for you

Have you decided?

I can't wait any longer

Ask my mother

Madam! Come quick

What is it, Master Shi

Need you ask?

I've been here many times

about a wedding proposal

Miss Ying Ying has finally agreed

Tell me what you want

Gold, silver, anything

Just name it

But the sooner the better

Ying Ying said yes?

Of course, she told me to talk to you

You're mistaken, I can't decide either

You must ask my husband

What?

Your husband is dead!

How can I ask him?

You're cursing me?

Don't get mad

He left word before he died

Look over there

That's just an old crummy bow

It's more than that

My husband's last word was that

Whoever can draw this bow

will marry Ying Ying

And own this bow

What if I can't?

You can forget everything

This is too easy

Hey!

Yes!

Draw the bow

Yes

Please

Be careful, don't hurt yourself

Move aside!

Bravo...

Wonderful!

Bravo...

Wonderful!

You have to draw the bow

And shoot with it

It's more spacious outside. I'll lead the way

Come!

Yes

Take it outside

Yes

Stand back! Master Shi is drawing the bow...

Quiet... move aside

Move aside...

Look, Master Shi

There's a crow

Shoot it down! Come on!

Are you blind? It's a crow

Crows are unlucky, you can't shoot it

That's a magpie, not a crow. Shoot it!

Don't let it get away

Bring the bow

Yes

Move back

Good...

Wonderful

Well?

Are you hurt?

I shot it

It's mine, pal

Sorry, it's my arrow

I shot it

How can you say it's yours?

Your arrow is over here, Master Shi

Damn!

Is this yours?

Who are you? You have a lot of nerve!

You're messing up my wedding

Are you looking for trouble?

Who are you? You're quite rude

Who am I?

You should find out who I am

I'm the magistrate's son

Kids

Yes

Fix him

Yes

Go back

Stop! Stop it!

Stop it!

Mother, he shot it down

I know. Take the bow inside

Hurry

Charge...

Move aside!

Master...

Forget it, Master Shi

You should stop too

I dare you to stay. Let's go

Move it!

I can wait, but just so you know

I have business in the capital, I can't stay long

I'll wait one night

That's more than enough! Let's go

Go...

Step aside...

Go...

Watch out, Master

May I have your name?

Kuang

Please come inside, Master Kuang

Thank you

Doggie

Take Master Kuang's horse to the stable

Come in for some tea

It's my treat

Sit down

Please

I'll make some tea

Thank you

Ying Ying

Come out and wait on the customers

Ying Ying, wait on Master Kuang

Thank you

Have some tea

Thank you

Mother

What is it?

You...

He can shoot with the bow and arrow

Master Kuang

Are you visiting or passing through?

Please sit down

You go ahead

I'm on my way to the capital

I'm spending the night

And be on my way tomorrow

That's destiny

You mean...

When my husband died

He left this bow

Whoever can draw it can keep it

My daughter would like to consult you

What do you think?

I must be at the capital

Mother

Master...

Have you decided?

"Emphasize love and benevolence"

Well? Any ideas?

I'm still thinking

Commoners are easy to handle

Lousy idea

I got it

What is it?

Arrest that bastard

Trump up some charges

So he can't get away

Alright...

What if Father finds out?

Don't worry, he won't

Bravo

Catch!

Let's have a go

You first

Don't give in, Master Kuang

You'll be giving away a wife

Pardon me...

That's enough! Get up!

You'll never beat him. Get up!

We'll try boxing

What's going on?

Go take a look, Doggie

Open the door...

Hurry! Open up...

What's going on?

We're here to arrest a bandit

Open up...

Hurry...

The bandit they're referring to

I bet it's you

Must be that bastard's scheme

I'm not afraid

They're nothing

I'll get rid of them

Don't trouble yourself

They're calling you a bandit

That's a serious charge. You better go

They're after me

I can't implicate you

They're not after you

There're after Ying Ying

Don't worry, we'll take care of it

You'll get us in trouble if you stay

Take this bow with you

It's settled. Go now!

Open up...

What is it? What do you want?

Make an arrest

Arrest who? Don't you have a name?

We're looking for a bandit. Search!

Yes!

Wait! This is a tea house

There's no bandit here

Cut the crap! Search!

Yes!

There's nothing in the back! Go!

We have our orders

Search the place!

Yes!

What if you don't find anything?

That's none of your business

Then I must draw some blood

And give you an excuse

Arrest them

Stop it...

Stop it!

Charge!

Look!

Move away!

What's going on? That's stealing

Charge!

Stop it!

I'm over here

I dare you to come after me

Go after him

Let's go take a look

I dare you to follow me!

Mount your horses!

Come here, Doggie

What's with Master Kuang?

He's luring them away

So that we won't get in trouble

What if they arrest him?

They won't

He's heading for the capital

Those morons wouldn't dare follow him

Master Shi won't let us off easily

Let's go back inside and bolt the door

Useless morons!

You're so incompetent!

Yes, Master

Get lost!

Yes!

Go!

I really like that girl

I have another idea

What is it?

If they can't be persuaded

We must do it by force

Let's hear it

We'll snatch her

Nonsense! They're kung fu experts

How can we do it?

We'll take i $ Polar Beari... with us

Then we'll manage

You mean the Coach?

Yes!

"The Shi family wedding procession"

Madam...

What is it?

They're here

This time they came with the band

Move aside...

No wonder it's so noisy

This doesn't look good

You better hide

They come prepared

Doggie, Ying Ying

Get ready and watch for my signal

Get out...

What's this, Master Shi?

Congratulations, Madam

Bring them over here

Bring them...

Wait! What's the meaning of this?

Come here, Madam

Let's get down to business

I'm the magistrate's son

I'm good enough for your daughter

You played me for a fool again and again

I don't care whether you agree or not

I'm getting married today

Come, help her prepare for the wedding

Yes

Hurry!

Wait!

Let's talk about this

There's nothing to talk about. Hurry!

This is kidnapping in broad daylight

Do it!

Charge!

Catch, Madam!

Don't let them get away!

Yes!

You'll have an easy life

You're a bullying bastard!

You're dead

Your father will have no heirs

Damn! Tell the magistrate

Hurry...

Go...

We're in big trouble

Let's go, we can't stay here

Where can we go?

To the capital. We'll find him

Yes, we can catch up with him

Let's go

Mother

So be it!

THE 2ND EPISODE

The bandits are here!

Sound the gong!

Bandits are here!

Fetch the master

Take whatever you want

Please spare our lives

I want information on someone

Who?

Her!

That's Shih Chung Yu from the Rouge

Prepare the horses!

Let's go, Boss

We found out that Pang Xun

entered the city with a few men

That's odd

He had over 1,000 men

They started looting every city from Xiaoshing

Why did he bring only a few men here?

They're lawless bandits

We must arrest them

Guard the 4 gates

Yes

General Ma

Yes, sir

Search the city with General Wang

Sir

General Wang is away from camp

Why?

He's obsessed with Shih Chung Yu

Sister

What is it?

You have a customer

I told you

I'm not seeing anyone if General Wang is here

Sister

He'll pay 10 taels of silver just to see you

Exactly

Ask for 100 taels

Give it to her

Thank you

100 taels

100 taels?

Tell her to hurry!

Wait!

I want to see her first

He already paid 100 taels

I'll give you 200 taels

300 taels

Talk is cheap

Show me your money

I don't have it

No? Then shut up

How much is this worth?

The dragon jade is worth over 10,000 taels

If you know, then run along

Stop it!

You can't do this!

You can't do this, sir

Tell her to come out

Go fetch her...

Here I am

Sorry to keep you waiting

It's alright

Excuse me

You just wanted to see me

What?

Only this for a dragon jade?

You're too arrogant

It's worth it

I'll go if you play the pi pa

I'm not feeling too well

Don't go

They say money makes the world go round

I don't perform forjust anybody

Don't go

Someday

You'll offer to play for me

Come back...

Your sister is too arrogant

She's not

She's in love with General Wang

She's obsessed with him

Make way...

Dodge...

Wait!

General Wang...

Someone is looking for you

He's asleep

General Wang

Minister Li wants you

I have to go

Wait!

Even if the Emperor summons you

I'm not letting you go

I'll come again tomorrow

If you leave now, don't bother to come again

Minister Li must have an urgent matter

Who's more important, him or me?

You, of course

Then stay

Execute him!

Yes!

Beat the drum!

Wait!

Who's that?

Shih Chung Yu

Get rid of her!

Yes!

Stop...

What are you doing?

Don't be cocky, you've been to the Rouge

Nonsense! I've never been there

Don't bother to deny it

Quiet! Don't let the minister hear you. Go...

Then let us through

I can't

Then I'll yell!

We'll yell

Alright

Just her, the rest of you go home

Arrest her!

Yes!

Stop!

I have something to say

Greetings, Minister

What are you?

Like yourself, I'm human

A prostitute is not worthy to speak to me

A prostitute is also your subject

I want to file a complaint

How dare you come here after you seduced my man?

General Wang and I loved each other

I didn't seduce him

A prostitute in love?

You've been to a brothel?

Nonsense!

I'll never go to such a filthy place

How do you know a prostitute can't fall in love?

What a sharp tongue!

I'm telling the truth

Gentlemen

Love is everywhere

Prime Minister Xie An accompanies prostitutes

And Commander Yang Xu hosts social functions

Guan Pan Pan of Yanzi Lou

Throughout history, scholars and prostitutes

have left behind romantic stories

You're making a mountain out of a mole hill

This is not discipline

You're just a heartless fool

Tie her up!

Wait! You're a high ranking officer

Tying me up is too easy

But tell me, what crime have I committed?

You barged in here and insulted me

I will execute you along with Wang Xing Yu

Sir

They call you the Tigress

I thought you're courageous

But you're a mere coward

Begging me for mercy

I'm not begging you

I'm thanking you for being our matchmaker

What do you mean?

You keep us apart while we're alive

But you let us die together

Of course I must thank you

Execute them

Yes

No thanks

I can do it

Chung Yu, you can't do this

I'm keeping you company

They don't deserve to die

Please go easy on them

She's guilty of insubordination

Wang Xing Yu is guilty of whoring

What are you doing?

People who have visited brothels deserve to die?

Of course

This is fun

General Wang is not the only one

who has visited a brothel

You dare not kill everyone

Do you?

Quiet! Except for Wang Xing Yu

no one dares to visit a brothel

You're overconfident

Let me show you

Come out, those of you who were there

Come on, don't be shy!

That's right, come out...

They're not coming out

They won't admit it

Well?

I knew you're making this up

What can you say for yourself?

What now?

If they won't volunteer, we'll force them

Yes

Come out, sir

Minister Qian, I know you

Minister Zhao...

Give us a hand...

No!

Please spare me

Come on...

Come out, all of you!

Come on! Kneel down

Come out

Please kneel down

Come on...

There you are!

You two look familiar

Damn!

See for yourself

You have all been there?

Sorry!

Execute them all! Executioner!

Yes

Execute them

I can't do it

Why not?

I was there too

This is outrageous!

Outrageous...

Sir

Minister!

What's so urgent?

Madam is aware of today's event

She wants the sentence suspended and meet the prisoners

Madam

Good...

Get up...

Who is Shih Chung Yu? Let me take a look at you

Madam Li

Lift your head

How pretty!

No wonder General Wang is obsessed

He's not obsessed with me

I'm obsessed with him

Well said!

Prostitutes are skittish

They have no genuine feelings

Minister Li

What is it?

Madam Li, may I say something?

Go ahead

If I have no feelings

I would not barge into the execution ground

I was prepared to die with General Wang

To be fair, if visiting the brothel is not allowed

It should be in writing

If you despise prostitutes

You should close down all the brothels

This is outrageous!

By law, even the Emperor

does not execute anyone who frequents brothels

Enforcing extralegal punishments is a crime

How dare you!

Kneel down!

Did you hear what she said?

Of course, she wanted you to kneel down

Mother!

Get down on your knees!

You would have made a big mistake if I didn't intervene

Extreme penalty will hurt morale

How can you...

Madam, please forgive him

Please have mercy on him

Stay out of this

I must teach him a lesson

You're fair and strict

But to make the Minister kneel

in front of his men is not a good idea

Are you pleading for him?

Everyone makes mistakes

On your account, I'll let him get up

Thank you, Madam

Get up!

He won't listen to me

Get up!

Yes, Mother

He was mean to you, why did you intercede?

Forget it

You are so kind

If I had a daughter like you

I'd be very happy

Then let me be your daughter

Mother

Get up...

Such a clever girl

Sis

Kowtow to Madam

Mother

Get up...

Congratulations! You have 2 goddaughters

Get up...

General Wang has such a good eye

And found someone like you

Thank you for sparing him

Thank you, Madam

You may spare General Wang's life

But he should be punished

That's true

Guards!

Yes!

A beating of 80 strokes

Yes, sir

Let him capture Pang Xun and redeem himself

That's even better

Go change and wait for my order

Nojokes in the Army

Sign the pledge to catch Pang Xun

And redeem yourself

Yes, sir

Hang on

What are you doing here?

To sign a pledge

That's none of your business. Get out!

Catching the bandit is my business

Minister

Madam has designated Shih Chung Yu

to head the mission to capture Pang Xun

How can a woman go to war?

What?

You're looking down on me too?

I'll show you

Mother is bewildered by her

Let her learn a lesson

Let her do it

We don't have extra men

I can only give you 1,000 soldiers

That's not enough

That's too many

How many do you need?

None

Only General Wang and a few men

are enough to capture Pang Xun

Very well

No. Pang Xu is ferocious

I know

He has a few thousand men

I know that too

How can you go?

That's my business

Minister

Never mind

Write down what she said

Yes

How long will it take?

Within 3 days

And if you fail?

You can have my head

Sign the pledge

No

Get out

Sign

What if I succeed?

You'll be rewarded

I don't want that

What do you want?

Your respect for prostitutes

I want you to hail 3 times in front of the camp

And say what?

My amazing god sister

Well?

I doubt if you'll succeed. Very well

We'll see about that, my god brother

Save your tricks

We know you're not a street performer

We have tailed you for 2 days

You asked about Pang Xun

Can't believe she did that

We used to follow her

And made a living on the street

My business with Pang Xun does not concern you

You know who I am?

You'll be too scared when you find out

I'm Pang Xun's cousin

So we're family!

I thought you were a government spy

Damn!

You work for Pang Xun?

Get up

Sorry, we didn't know

What's this?

Let them talk

We're staying with Master Ma

Boss wanted to summon his men

And overthrow the emperor

But for some bitch called Shih Chung Yu

He's giving up the throne

Please speak to him

Run along

Come back!

Pass him a message

Shih Chung Yu is waiting for him

You're Shih Chung Yu?

Useless fools!

Get lost!

Get lost!

You were right

It was Pang Xun who wanted you to play the pi pa

You can't expect us

to barge in and arrest him!

No, let him invite us in

This is a lady's strategy. We'll wait for him
