Did you bring the coins?
6
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,690
Where are the goods?
7
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,910
Thirty gold coins.
8
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,329
I need to see them first.
9
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,410
I need to check the goods first.
10
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,100
Fine.
11
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:47,410
Look, inside it are
12
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,470
the souls of 3 people.
13
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:50,710
They're all
14
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,820
from the elders over 70.
15
00:02:52,910 --> 00:02:54,110
You can calculate it.
16
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:55,710
If you swallow all the souls
17
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:57,030
in the bottle in one go,
18
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,620
how many years of life would that extend?
19
00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:05,630
How am I supposed to trust you?
20
00:03:05,630 --> 00:03:06,190
What if
21
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,710
you actually took
22
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:09,840
3 young men's souls?
23
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,490
That's impossible.

and drink myself.
27
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,800
And I
28
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,290
extracted their souls myself.

30
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,910
You must admit this treasure is
31
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:32,420
worth 30 gold coins.
32

your price
36
00:03:41,870 --> 00:03:43,490

you specifically targeted elderly people

You also need to come
to the county office for questioning.

Perhaps they have been watching
even longer.

Yes.
119

He's just a sorcery tutor

who can't fight.
121
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,630
And he was under the strict surveillance

of the Yongzhou Prefecture.
123
00:06:23,190 --> 00:06:24,600
How could he possibly kill

the Grand General of the Imperial Guard?
125
00:06:26,270 --> 00:06:27,770
Of course I know this.
126
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,250
Zuo Lu's confession was
127
00:06:30,270 --> 00:06:32,690
likely forced by Wei Yan's torture.
128
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,700
As for Wei Yan's motive,
129
00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:38,800
it remains unknown for now.
130
00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:41,720
I've seen

Zhu Ling's body.
132
00:06:43,390 --> 00:06:46,200
There was a hit to the temple.
133
00:06:46,310 --> 00:06:48,360
We can't determine the weapon,
134
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,620
but one thing is for sure.
135
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,770
The killer is the same one
136
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,720
who murdered the beggar before.
137
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:55,560
Therefore,
138
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,210
Wannian County requested
to merge the cases.
139
00:07:01,510 --> 00:07:03,370
Without other evidence for now,
140
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,450
I'm afraid Wei Yan won't agree.
141
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:06,720
Before it's reported
142
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,070
to the Yongzhou Prefecture,
143
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:09,600
I cannot intervene either.
144
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:13,510
I have a feeling
145
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,000
that if the real murderer
remains at large,
146
00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:19,830
more people will die.
147
00:07:34,510 --> 00:07:35,310
How much
148
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,130
do you want for these items?
149
00:07:39,390 --> 00:07:41,070
Whatever you think is fair, sir.
150
00:07:41,070 --> 00:07:42,070
We're not greedy.
151
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:44,920
Then how about
152
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,520
5,000 coins?
153
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,740
5,000 coins?
154
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Okay! Nice!
155
00:07:52,159 --> 00:07:52,580
Good!
156
00:07:52,870 --> 00:07:54,130
That's the price then.
157
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:54,680
Wait.
158
00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:57,880
I think these items are
159
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,640
worth at least 50,000 coins.
160
00:08:00,390 --> 00:08:01,270
Why don't you
161
00:08:01,430 --> 00:08:02,760
sell them to me instead?
162
00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:04,250
Hey, you!

in my shop?

whether their items are

worth 5,000

aren't they?
170
00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:16,430

171
00:08:16,430 --> 00:08:18,000
you're helping them sell stolen goods.
172

Take these stolen goods
173
00:08:19,190 --> 00:08:21,250
to the Wannian County Office with me!

Yes.
177
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,600
The old man said
178
00:08:32,010 --> 00:08:33,840
that's the name of the food in the box.
179
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:34,900
How much did he eat?
180
00:08:35,030 --> 00:08:35,760
Half a piece.
181
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:38,210
Then he eagerly
182
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,570
pulled me into the room.
183
00:08:40,150 --> 00:08:41,080
That old lecher.

When we saw he was dying,
185
00:08:43,510 --> 00:08:45,000
my wife and I were terrified.
186
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,120
We only wanted money,
187
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,050
never anyone's life.
188
00:08:48,270 --> 00:08:50,160
So we ran away in a rush.
189
00:08:50,190 --> 00:08:51,450
But as the saying goes,

"A thief never leaves empty-handed."
191
00:08:52,730 --> 00:08:56,010
So we grabbed those few items.
192
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,460
And you said that Gulou Pastry was
193
00:09:00,510 --> 00:09:02,110
given to him by someone else?
194
00:09:02,510 --> 00:09:02,950
Yes.
195
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,450
The day before that, I saw that old man
196
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,240
spending lavishly in Pingkang District,
197
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,670
so I deliberately wandered back and forth
in front of him.
198
00:09:09,670 --> 00:09:10,510
Then
199
00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:11,670
we made an appointment to meet
200
00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:13,330
at his residence the next day.
201
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,150
Did you get a good look at that person?
202
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:34,950
It was a bit far away.
203
00:09:35,390 --> 00:09:36,920
I only saw a blurry outline.
204
00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:38,040
Yingtao.
205
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,700
Go fetch Xijun.
206
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:40,390
Yes.
207
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,590
First seduction, then blackmail.
208
00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:47,170
That's a serious crime.
209
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,500
Now, you need
210
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:50,550
to carefully recall the appearance
211
00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:51,670
of the person who offered the gift
212
00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:55,120
and help the county office draw a sketch.
213
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,510
This may earn you leniency.
214
00:09:58,670 --> 00:09:59,400
Understand?
215
00:09:59,790 --> 00:10:00,570
Yes.
216
00:10:00,630 --> 00:10:01,630
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
217
00:10:01,630 --> 00:10:02,320
Honey,
218
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,070
it all counts on you now.
219
00:10:06,390 --> 00:10:08,200
The female culprit doesn't remember
220
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,510
the gift-giver's face clearly.
221
00:10:09,510 --> 00:10:11,340
She did say it was quite far away.
222
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,060
Strangely enough,
223
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,440
though it was far away,
224
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,790
she can remember the person's eyes.
225
00:10:15,790 --> 00:10:18,720
She just has no impression
of the facial expression.
226
00:10:20,910 --> 00:10:22,970
Why does he look so much like someone?
227
00:10:23,270 --> 00:10:24,480
The one we met in Hanzhou Prefecture.
228
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,840
He's called Ma...
229
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,790
Ma Meng, Official Ma.
230
00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:29,570
When I was drawing,
231
00:10:29,570 --> 00:10:30,900
I had the same illusion.
232
00:10:31,150 --> 00:10:32,670
Maybe it's because I recently ate
233
00:10:32,670 --> 00:10:34,670
the Gulou Pastries he treated me to.
234
00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:40,380
I'm afraid it's not an illusion.

my old classmate, Liu Zigui.
241
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,330
Let him in.
242
00:11:13,390 --> 00:11:14,320
It's not Mr. Liu,
243

Since we parted in Hanzhou Prefecture,
254
00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:33,670
we finally met again in Chang'an.
255
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:34,600
Secretariat Ma,
256
00:11:35,510 --> 00:11:37,750
I was occupied with official duties before
257
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:39,240
and had to break our appointment.
258
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,270
Please forgive me.
259
00:11:40,270 --> 00:11:40,900
It's okay.
260
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,070
That day,
261
00:11:42,270 --> 00:11:44,070
Mr. Su and I had a wonderful chat.
262
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,580
Indeed.
263
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,670
Especially after tasting
the Scholar Tree Leaf Cold Noodles,
264
00:11:46,670 --> 00:11:47,890
that unique flavor

If you put it that way,

then we should thank you

Mr. Ma, you're reading
the "Spring and Autumn Annals"?
279
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,200
This version
of "Spring and Autumn Annals" is
280
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,600
quite rare to find
281
00:12:23,630 --> 00:12:24,490

[Quick Guide to Zuo's Commentary on Spring
and Autumn Annals, by Du Yuankai]

It's the "Spring and Autumn Annals"
annotated by Du Yuankai,
284
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,430
truly a rare find.

where you obtained it, Mr. Ma.

It's all thanks
288
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,010
to my classmate, Liu Zigui.

He has a deep understanding
of the "Spring and Autumn Annals."
290
00:12:45,550 --> 00:12:47,390
Though he hasn't passed
the imperial exams,
291
00:12:47,390 --> 00:12:49,080
he often gives lessons at Ximing Temple
292
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,240
and Zhao Jinggong Temple,
293
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,550
teaching the "Spring and Autumn Annals"
294

to the students
who lodge in the temples, preparing

for the Exam of Classical Studies.
296

He's quite popular there.

300
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,930
Honestly, I don't know about that.
301
00:13:05,270 --> 00:13:06,930
He's also never mentioned it.
302
00:13:07,550 --> 00:13:08,960

about the classics

but also well-versed in painting.

in the international polo tournament
in person,
351

he took me to pay respects
to Emperor Xiaojing.
352
00:15:13,630 --> 00:15:15,160
Why did His Majesty do that?
353
00:15:16,910 --> 00:15:17,750
First of all,
354
00:15:18,670 --> 00:15:21,030
Emperor Xiaojing was the best polo player

in the imperial family.
356
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,650
It was also his idea back then
357
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,840
to hold a polo tournament every 4 years
358
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,240
to pacify foreign territories
359
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,320
and reinforce diplomatic ties.
360
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:29,920
That's how
361
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,050
the international polo tournament
came into being.
362
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,440
And then...
363
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:36,440
I know what happened afterward.
