<i>The license from Superintendent of the Lower Treasury is fifty thousand.</i>

90
00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:10,890
Persian orders of apparel have a total contract value of three million taels.

91
00:07:10,890 --> 00:07:14,850
After the five-month schedule, days of delay will result in cost reduction of twenty percent of the total project value.

The total cost is seven hundred sixty-eight thousand taels.

Shall we speed up the production of this batch?

94
00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:21,940
We have to produce the apparel in five months,

95
00:07:21,940 --> 00:07:24,860
the lost gold thread was produced after Chongyang Festival last year.

We can't catch up with the schedule, no matter how hard we try.

When we got the gold thread, both the copper lock and the box were intact.

98
00:07:30,770 --> 00:07:34,030
Even if the gold thread has wings, it can't fly.

<i>Qingliu, I will ask my father for help,</i>

103
00:07:52,380 --> 00:07:55,450
is no ordinary thief who wants money.

104
00:07:55,450 --> 00:07:58,450
To transport them secretly and to find a buyer who knows the value,

105
00:07:58,450 --> 00:08:02,620
the nearest trading place is Chang'an. But the risk is too high.

106
00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:04,820
So selling the stolen goods locally is the best strategy.

107
00:08:04,820 --> 00:08:08,770
If you report it to the authorities, they will hide the gold thread.

108
00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:13,600
Yan Bin, start a thorough investigation now.

109
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,070
From Quanzhou to the transit station, the gold thread was personally escorted by ninth-grade officials.

110
00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:20,400
So the time when the gold thread was most likely to have been stolen

111
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,100
was when the gold thread was released during the two hours after it arrived at the quay.

112
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:27,100
Xian'er, contact the Persian merchants and check

113
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:30,050
if they are willing to postpone the delivery date.

114
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,920
<i>Master, we have found another clue.</i>

115
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,250
This scrap of cloth was found in the huge fabric chest which contained the gold thread box.

116
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:44,700
We have verified it. It does not belong to the escort guards or any of our people.

117
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:48,190
It should be a torn part of the clothes of the thief.

118
00:08:49,460 --> 00:08:53,620
He isn't tall. But this is part of the inner garment.

119
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,760
The warp runs from the top to bottom.

120
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,040
It is so rough! It is the sewing technique of the lower class.

121
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,530
Prepare the carriage. We'll visit the Mas' workshop in the Southern City.

00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,220
Look at the color.

129
00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:51,360
It looks like

131

No.

00:09:58,930 --> 00:10:01,620
Wuyun Pavilion.

134
00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:04,780
Wuyun Pavilion? It's a brothel!

135
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:08,470
Wuyun Pavilion's head...

138

Master, why don't I just bring her from Wuyun Pavilion to you?

139
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:22,000
It is a place where the fish and dragons are jumbled together.

140
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,330
We might get lost in there.

141
00:10:24,950 --> 00:10:27,660
They won't sell the gold thread publicly.

142

<i>Go ask around where the lower class do their trading.</i>

143

I'll go to Wuyun Pavilion, and meet with the top courtesan.

144
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,400
No, but that is a brothel.

145
00:10:46,570 --> 00:10:49,400
Chief, with this figure of yours,

146
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,150
you could be the top courtesan in our Wuyun Pavilion!

147
00:10:55,420 --> 00:10:56,750
Are you going out?

148
00:10:56,750 --> 00:10:59,570
They are telling the story of the "Night Travel of Wenjun".

149
00:10:59,570 --> 00:11:01,310
Didn't they tell this story previously?

150
00:11:01,310 --> 00:11:04,940
It's not the same. The storyteller is Gengzi today!

151
00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:08,680
Alright, go. Tell me about it when you are back.

152
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:13,180
Only a silly girl or a bad boy will have an elopement.

153
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,910
Don't use my scraper when I'm not around!

Very well.

310
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,700
Daughter will go change now.

311
00:22:13,300 --> 00:22:15,300
I wonder if Father is aware that

312
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:18,600
an important item was stolen from the silk store.

313
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,800
It was raw material for making gold thread clothes.

314
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,000
The inspection has shown that it disappeared without a trace last night.

315
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,400
Do your things first. His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is waiting for you.

316
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,500
Father...

317
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:33,600
That's all. I have other matters to attend to.

318
00:22:37,950 --> 00:22:41,870
Never mention what happened at Wuyun Pavilion to anyone.

319
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,100
I went to inquire about the trading places of the lower class people. Guess who I met?

320
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,800
Her accompanying servant girl! She let me ask about a few things.

321
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,200
You got beat up by someone?

322
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,000
No... how could that be?

323
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,600
As you know, I got an important clue out of that Xiaoqin's mouth!

324
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,400
<i>They are people from the lower walks of life. They are accustomed to</i>

325
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,800
selling valuables on the black market.

326
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,900
Black market... I have heard about it.

327
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:17,800
There are all the people who <i>imitate the dog and steal the chicken .</i> (T/N con artists)

328
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,600
That's right. It is most appropriate to dispose of stolen goods on the spot.

329
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,800
We will go there tomorrow.

330
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,000
Your Royal Highness, try this vinegar pufferfish.

331
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,200
That year, when <i>founding emperor Gaozu</i> tasted it in Yincheng, (T/N Li Yuan of Tang)

332
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,600
he was full of praise.

333
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,100
Yincheng is located in Shu. Especially in recent years,

334
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:47,200
its economy has developed more rapidly.

335
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,290
However, the tax paid to the capital

336
00:23:50,290 --> 00:23:52,600
has been declining year after year.

337
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,480
Why is that?

338
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,000
Reporting to Royal Highness,

339
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000
the reason why Yincheng has reduced the tax paid to the capital

340
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,800
is that the trend of resisting to pay taxes is worse and worse.

341
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,600
In addition, some big merchants have tried their best to evade taxes.

342
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,600
<i>This...</i>

343
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,200
Since that is the case, why do you not take care of it on a regular basis?

344
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,600
This subject is afraid that combatting and suppressing people too much

345
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,600
could affect the common people's livelihood and Great Tang's stability.

346
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,200
Do you not have any other way?

347
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,300
This subject thinks one has to get rid of the rotten elements to free oneself from this predicament.

348
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:26,400
<i>One should capture the big establishments first and punish them as a warning to others.</i>

349
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,000
As for the people from the lower walks of life, one can use national law to severely punish them.

350
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,700
- This way, Royal Highness...
- I have managed to grasp

351
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:35,800
the Yincheng and Nancheng situations during my recent stay here.

352
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,000
Although there is a lot of warfare and the folk customs are ferocious,

353
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,800
<i>the public order is good.</i>

354
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,600
I heard that there is also a female gang chief.

355
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,200
They are all people from the lower walks of life who bully fellow traders and dominate the market.

356
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,800
Your Royal Highness should not stain your ears and eyes with them.

357
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,400
My daughter, Du Xiaoxian,

358
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,600
is in charge of the "New Silk Road", the largest silk store in Yincheng.

359
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,200
If Royal Highness wants to understand and sympathize with the public feelings,

360
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,200
why not let my daughter accompany you to take a stroll around the city and beyond?

361
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,000
When father is a tiger, the daughter cannot be a dog. Although your precious daughter is provincial governor's daughter,

362
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,800
she has her own aspirations. It is to be admired.

363
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,700
<i>Your Royal Highness is exaggerating.</i>

364
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Royal Highness, this is the busiest shopping street in Yincheng.

365
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,400
This drum is quite unique.

366
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,400
It's very cute.

367
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:37,000
Royal Highness, this is the best pastry in Yincheng. Royal Highness can come and try it sometime.

368
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,200
Very well.

369
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,800
Wulin, remember to come here and buy some pastries before we go.

370
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,100
Yes.

371
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,000
Does Miss Du know that there is a place called Grand Bazaar in Yincheng?

372
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,800
The south of Yincheng is the place where people from the lower walks of life gather.

373
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,400
Grand Bazaar is a place where <i>dragons and fishes are jumbled together.</i> (T/N good and bad people mix together)

374
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,200
We never set foot there usually.

375
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,000
Your Royal Highness Prince Zhao should not approach it as well.

376
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Thank you, Miss Du, for mentioning it.

377
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
I  remembered something.

378
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,700
Wulin,  take Miss Du back to the mansion first.

379
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:08,200
Daughter takes her leave now.

380
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,000
Good! Good!

381
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,800
Where the hell is that auction?

382
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,100
Why does no one know about it?

383
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:31,000
Let's look for it again.

384
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,000
The black market has been open for so long and  I haven't seen Chief Long here before.

385
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,280
<i>- Why did Chief Long join us today?
- Yes, Chief Long.</i>

386
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,400
I was entrusted by my teacher

387
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,500
to come here and have fun.

388
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,700
Chief Long, as long as you open your mouth,

389
00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:52,400
none of the brothers gathered here will dare to raise the price for you.

390
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,800
<i>Yes, yes, yes, we promise not to raise it. Come, come, come.</i>

391
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,600
Thanks, then.

392
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,200
- Come, come, come.
- Come, come, come.

393
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,200
<i>Chief Long. Chief Long, look.</i>

394
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,600
<i>It is that pervert again!</i>

395
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,800
Last time, he was peeking at Miss taking her bath, and now he came to the black market again!

396
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,000
He would not want to stick to Miss, right?

397
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,400
I did not expect the rumor to be true.

398
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,600
It was just skin-deep. Chief Long did not come to grief.

399
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,400
What nonsense are you spouting?

400
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,400
It really makes my blood mould.

401
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,800
Let's go.

402
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,200
<i>Chief Long...</i>

403
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,000
Let's go.

404
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,500
Chief Long, please stay.

405
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,450
Get out of the way!

406
00:27:31,450 --> 00:27:34,800
You are standing right in the center of the wide open road. Why do you want me to squeeze under the bridge?

407
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,400
Don't think I cannot beat you up!

408
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:41,700
Chief Long, I do not care if you are an <i>Asura</i> or the top courtesan.  (T/N malevolent spirit)

409
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:45,400
It is rare to meet an acquaintance today. I just want to ask one thing,

410
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,600
how to get to the auction?

411
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,400
Look how thick-skinned you are!

412
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,800
You harm people with words even when asking for directions.

413
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,800
Why did you not hang the silk fish ornament today?

414
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,460
It seems that watching a girl taking a bath

415
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:01,800
is a very ordinary thing for you.

416
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,000
It was a misunderstanding that day. I still hope Miss will be magnanimous enough to forgive it.

417
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,800
Think of this as an apology gift.

418
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,500
Is it even something rare?

419
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,500
I... I cannot change such a large amount of silver...

420
00:28:20,810 --> 00:28:23,170
How about bartering?

421
00:28:24,710 --> 00:28:26,700
I like this.

422
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:28,200
Keep up. Come on!

423
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,300
<i>Keep up. Come on!</i>

424
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:32,000
Let's go.

425
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,400
Master, why did you let this female thief off?

426
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,300
Let's keep up first.

427
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,400
Trying to find this rotten thing and to get rid of me...

428
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,600
Exactly, they think you will fall for some rotten coins!

429
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,600
Master, there are too many people here. We got lost.

430
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,500
I gave them a tongue depressor from a dead man's mouth just now.

431
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:14,200
I knew they were not honest,

432
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,400
and so I had the nocturnal moth's silk gland glued to it in advance.

433
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,600
When it meets the wind, it will become an imperceptible filament and come down.

434
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,800
All right.

435
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,600
Let's go.

436
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,400
Stay at the entrance. Pay attention to whether any prohibited items appear, especially pepper.

437
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,000
Yes.

438
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,600
Where are you from? You look rather unfamiliar.

439
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,400
How can we get in?

440
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,400
Either by an acquaintance or a letter of guarantee.

441
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,400
We came here to bid. Do you need a letter of a guarantee to spend money?

442
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,800
You should know Grand Bazaar's rules.

443
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,200
No one is allowed to enter without the letter.

444
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,100
We know those people.

445
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,400
Chief Long?

446
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,300
All right everyone, take your seats.

447
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:46,000
<i>I am announcing that the auction shall begin.</i>

448
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,800
Miss, look.

449
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,800
They unexpectedly found the entrance. This rotten pervert is pretty smart!

450
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,200
<i>Most of the items on the auction will be bought by bidding.</i>

451
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,400
<i>After the starting price is announced,</i>

452
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,400
<i>if you are interested in bidding, please raise your hand and make a gesture</i>

453
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,400
<i>to bid against each other.
</i>- Rotten...

454
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,400
- pervert.
<i>- The bid will be won by a person with the highest price.</i>

455
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,400
Let's not digress. The auction items will be announced now.

456
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,000
Please take a look at the first collection.

457
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,200
<i>- Brothers....Brothers...</i>- Hey...

458
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,800
What is our last item of the day?

459
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,800
Leave him alone. Let's wait until the last item.

460
00:31:27,420 --> 00:31:29,800
<i>All right, this guest offers one hundred fifty two!</i>

461
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,200
Master, I made inquiries about it.

462
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,200
The box wrapped in linen is the last item.

463
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,600
I assume it is the gold thread. I will grab it now.

464
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,100
Wait.  They brought the gold thread into

465
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:43,600
the black market  only to get some money.

466
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,030
There are many people here. It will be easy to <i>beat the grass and startle the snake.</i> (T/N startle them)

467
00:31:47,030 --> 00:31:49,500
<i>All right! Congratulations on the deal!</i>

468
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:52,300
<i>You've won the bid for the first item!</i>

469
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,600
<i>Everyone. Everyone, please be quiet.</i>

470
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,600
<i>Right now, let's-</i>

471
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,400
Snake Gang! Snake Gang!

472
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,000
Esteemed brothers, I have to deal with an emergency.

473
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,600
Miss is good at taking things from others.

474
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,500
What a nice coincidence.

475
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,980
I thank Young Lord for the rescue. I still have not asked Young Lord's name.

476
00:32:40,980 --> 00:32:43,490
My surname is Zhao, name Hongjin. I come from Chang'an.

477
00:32:43,490 --> 00:32:45,550
Oh... Xiao Zhao.

478
00:32:45,550 --> 00:32:48,600
- I am...
- Long Aoyi, chief of the biggest gang in Yincheng,

479
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,300
sheltering the livelihood of silkworm farmers in Yincheng. A female hero that punishes evil and praises the good.

480
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:53,760
I have long been looking forward to meeting you.

481
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,430
How do you know me?

482
00:32:57,430 --> 00:33:01,790
The gambling party at Wanhua Tower was a true eye-opener for Xiao Zhao.

483
00:33:01,790 --> 00:33:05,370
You are making fun of me, making fun of me.

484
00:33:05,370 --> 00:33:08,760
All right, let me announce our next item.

485
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,050
This bridal crown belonged to the first female general in China,

486
00:33:12,050 --> 00:33:17,270
<i>Madam Xian of Liang Dynasty. Such a rare item is rarely seen.</i>

487
00:33:17,270 --> 00:33:21,170
<i>The starting price is two hundred fifty taels.</i>

488
00:33:21,170 --> 00:33:23,350
<i>Six hundred taels!</i>

489
00:33:23,350 --> 00:33:25,170
<i>This guest is offering six hundred taels!</i>

490
00:33:25,170 --> 00:33:27,080
Miss Long,

491
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,360
how about I present this bridal crown to you?

492
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,740
You descended from <i>Jianghu</i> to dominate Yincheng.  (T/N world of martial artists)

493
00:33:33,740 --> 00:33:36,900
The bridal crown of the Iron Lady of the former dynasty is just right for you.

494
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,080
As for this... I...

495
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,670
Royal Highness, I have just smelled the pepper.

496
00:33:44,670 --> 00:33:46,130
- Let's go.
- All right.

497
00:33:46,130 --> 00:33:49,580
I am in a hurry, I have to leave now.

498
00:33:49,580 --> 00:33:54,970
<i>The actual value of this treasure has been rarely assessed!</i>

499
00:33:54,970 --> 00:33:58,530
<i>There will be no second chance if you miss out on this! Are there any more bidders?</i>

500
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,100
<i>Everyone! Are there any more bidders?</i>

501
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:04,180
He likes you.

502
00:34:04,180 --> 00:34:08,370
What? I do not know him.

503
00:34:08,370 --> 00:34:10,870
One thousand five hundred taels.

504
00:34:10,870 --> 00:34:15,700
- <i>Two thousand taels.
- All right, two thousand taels! Two thousand taels once!</i>

505
00:34:15,700 --> 00:34:18,330
Two thousand taels twice!

506
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,680
Two thousand taels thrice!

507
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,710
<i>Deal!</i>

508
00:34:28,430 --> 00:34:32,760
All right, thank you, everyone.

509
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,600
The spring auction is coming to an end.

510
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,000
<i>The final item is not of a small background.</i>

511
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,480
- Hurry, hurry. It's coming. It's coming.
<i>- This rare treasure comes from a secret local authority.</i>

512
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,410
In order to avoid attracting government officials,

513
00:34:44,410 --> 00:34:47,510
this auction item will be auctioned blindly.

514
00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:50,910
The bidders will compete in blind bidding.

515
00:34:50,910 --> 00:34:55,590
The highest bid will win. I ask everyone to wait and see.

516
00:34:59,230 --> 00:35:01,660
<i>The auction begins!</i>

517
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:03,900
At last.

518
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,970
It's so true that enemies are bound to meet head-on on a narrow road!

519
00:35:11,970 --> 00:35:14,200
You have to rob me of such a small object?

520
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,830
Fine, I wil keep you company.

521
00:35:16,830 --> 00:35:19,800
You truly are a petty person that <i>seeks revenge for an angry look. </i> (T/N for no reason)

522
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,480
Are you bidding up the price?

523
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,160
But let me warn you, no one can take my things away.

524
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,840
I'm  laughing myself to death! How did it become your thing?

525
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,780
Yincheng's richest man has only this much intelligence?

526
00:35:33,780 --> 00:35:37,240
It seems that you were extremely lucky to lead such a big business.

527
00:35:42,630 --> 00:35:44,800
Twenty taels.

528
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,960
- Forty taels.
- And ten more.

529
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,170
<i>Chief Long bids fifty taels.</i>

530
00:35:50,170 --> 00:35:51,850
I'll be kind and remind you.

531
00:35:51,850 --> 00:35:56,950
Don't get carried away by anger. This item is not necessarily what you want.

532
00:35:56,950 --> 00:36:00,700
Oh? Five hundred taels.

533
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:02,850
<i>Five hundred taels...Five hundred taels...</i>

534
00:36:02,850 --> 00:36:06,590
<i>This gentleman bid five hundred taels directly!</i>

535
00:36:09,710 --> 00:36:12,340
How unexpected that today's bidders

536
00:36:12,340 --> 00:36:15,200
have exceeded my expectations!

537
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,350
I can double it if necessary.

538
00:36:19,350 --> 00:36:21,060
<i>The price has skyrocketed tenfold!</i>

539
00:36:21,060 --> 00:36:23,820
Chief Long, please bid.

540
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,390
<i>I am sure that my financial resources cannot beat this profiteering merchant.</i>

541
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,930
Let me ask you something.

542
00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:38,900
How did you manage to escape when my sisters surrounded you in the brothel?

543
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,300
What does it have to do with the auction?

544
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,060
You cannot be close  to beautiful women and yet you frequent brothels.

545
00:36:50,060 --> 00:36:53,530
I see you have nice skin.

546
00:36:53,530 --> 00:36:57,450
Don't tell me you have the heart of an old rabbit?

547
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,740
Auction manager, the bidder did not bid for a log time. Can you announce me as the winner?

548
00:37:05,740 --> 00:37:10,720
Esteemed guest, we have not agreed on intervals between the bids before.

549
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:13,880
<i>Chief Long, you can continue to bid.</i>

550
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,800
One thousand taels.

551
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,000
Chief Long said one thousand taels!

552
00:37:23,590 --> 00:37:25,600
Miss, you do not even have five hundred taels in your hands...

553
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,410
Go back and get it.

554
00:37:27,410 --> 00:37:31,040
I finally found a joyful object for my Master. Isn't it just money?

555
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,660
I just cannot bear the sight of this cunning and overbearing thief.

556
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:43,210
It is my turn to remind you to not compete with money when you are angry.

557
00:37:43,210 --> 00:37:45,730
You are a poor loser.

558
00:37:45,730 --> 00:37:47,900
Five thousand taels.

559
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,160
Stand firm. Stand firm...

560
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,320
Being rich is really amazing.

561
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,710
Five thousand... and one tael.

562
00:38:00,250 --> 00:38:01,670
Ten thousand taels!

563
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,090
A few <i>qian.</i>   (T/N coins)

564
00:38:08,090 --> 00:38:09,740
This gentleman...

565
00:38:09,740 --> 00:38:12,070
This gentleman has bid ten thousand taels.

566
00:38:15,780 --> 00:38:18,930
- Um... the weather is nice... the weather is nice...
<i>- Ten thousand teals once!</i>

567
00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:22,530
Ten thousand tales twice! Ten thousand taels thrice!

568
00:38:22,530 --> 00:38:24,420
Deal!

569
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,470
Can I take it now?

570
00:38:35,310 --> 00:38:37,250
<i>Money will make even a devil turn millstones.</i> (T/N people will do anything for money)

571
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:39,810
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes.

572
00:38:39,810 --> 00:38:42,310
<i>Esteemed guest, please.</i>

573
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:04,130
Master!

574
00:39:05,020 --> 00:39:09,030
- Why did you come?
- We came in from the back through an acquaintance.

575
00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:12,240
You arrived just in time. Escort the gold thread back quickly.

576
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:15,060
Master, I found out that

577
00:39:15,060 --> 00:39:17,500
this coarse hand-woven cloth is uniform of the Miss from the Dragon Bamboo Gang

578
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:20,000
that destroyed our gold thread clothing in Wanhua Tower

579
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,580
and came to blows with you in the brothel again.

580
00:39:22,580 --> 00:39:24,050
What?

581
00:39:24,050 --> 00:39:27,750
Give me that. Look at this cloth.

582
00:39:32,690 --> 00:39:36,160
No wonder she tried every means to obstruct me along the way.

583
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,390
<i>She even wanted to rob me of the gold thread right now.</i>

584
00:39:38,390 --> 00:39:41,450
It seems it is because she is nursing a grudge for what happened before.

585
00:39:41,450 --> 00:39:43,170
She is targeting me on purpose.

586
00:39:43,170 --> 00:39:45,560
That's right. Rest assured, Master.

587
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,950
I will send the gold thread back and report the offense to the local governmental officials.

588
00:39:47,950 --> 00:39:49,190
<i>To catch brigands, we have to catch their leader first.</i>

589
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:51,390
- Let's go.
- All right.
- Wait.
