Big Sword Wang Wu,

5

would've already been killed.

8
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,960
When I heard Brother Wang Wu...

9
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,860
led an uprising to take down
the westerners in the capital,

10
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,120
I rushed over immediately.

11
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,280
Unfortunately, news traveled
slowly in Shisanli Mound.

12
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,720
It was too late when I made it there.

13
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,880
Brother Wang Wu,
betrayed by imperial thugs,

14
00:02:18,270 --> 00:02:19,630
had died in western hands.

15
00:02:19,730 --> 00:02:21,050
I was devastated.

16
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,000
Then I heard that you've
gallantly retrieved his head...

17
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,200
and gave him a proper burial.

18
00:02:27,450 --> 00:02:28,730
I admire you deeply.

19
00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:30,610
I wanted to meet you in Tianjin.

20
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:35,130
But once again, I was too late.

21
00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:37,690
Misfortune had fallen upon
Master Huo's family...

22
00:02:37,770 --> 00:02:38,850
and you were missing.

23

At that time,

24
00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:42,570
I, Sha Lang, swore that...

25
00:02:42,690 --> 00:02:44,610
if I could meet Master Huo one day,

26
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,000
I would treat you like I treated
my saviour Big Sword Wang Wu.

27
00:02:50,829 --> 00:02:51,710
I didn't expect...

28
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:55,110
I would meet you today.

29
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,079
My saviour,

30
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,320
here's to you.

31
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,400
Good.

32
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,280
Since you were Brother Wang Wu's friend,

33
00:03:06,570 --> 00:03:07,810
I'll drink this wine.

34
00:03:08,050 --> 00:03:09,410
Though I dare not accept...

Brother Wang Wu and I were sworn brothers.

37

Collecting his body was
only the right thing to do.

38

Well said.

39

445
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,480
Who?

446
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,270
Tell me your name again.

retracted my arrest.

Why did you beat the drum today?

457
00:25:41,950 --> 00:25:42,830
Half a month ago,

458
00:25:43,030 --> 00:25:45,710
I was hired by the magistrate

But it turns out...

462
00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:53,430
it is not medicinal herbs...

463
00:25:53,590 --> 00:25:54,910
in the boxes with official seals.

464
00:25:54,990 --> 00:25:55,990

466
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,160
Smuggling opium as official goods?

467
00:26:00,510 --> 00:26:01,310
That's right.

468
00:26:01,430 --> 00:26:03,350
Opium is the bane of our nation.

469
00:26:03,470 --> 00:26:04,670
Everyone knows that.

470
00:26:04,950 --> 00:26:06,630
As a martial arts practitioner,

471
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,680
I was tricked into escorting
the vile commodity.

472
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,320
It's a great insult to me.

473
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,960
My lord, I beg you to investigate
the matter and clear my name.

474

475
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,320
where is it now?

476
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,680
In the storehouse at the
magistrate's court's backyard.

477
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:20,680
Is this true?

478
00:26:20,770 --> 00:26:21,700
Who received the goods?

479
00:26:21,780 --> 00:26:22,860
It was the clerk.

480
00:26:22,950 --> 00:26:23,790
His surname is Hou.

481
00:26:24,510 --> 00:26:26,440
Guards, summon Clerk Hou.

482
00:26:26,530 --> 00:26:27,330
Yes, sir.

483
00:26:33,020 --> 00:26:34,260
My lord, you summoned me?

484
00:26:34,820 --> 00:26:35,860
Do you know him?

485
00:26:38,140 --> 00:26:40,220
Isn't this Liu Zhen Sheng, the escort?

486
00:26:40,860 --> 00:26:41,780
Mr. Liu?

487
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,680
His surname is Huo.

488
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:44,900
No way.

489
00:26:45,340 --> 00:26:47,460
He told me yesterday. His surname is Liu.

490
00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:48,780
Huo Yuan Jia,

491
00:26:49,180 --> 00:26:49,980
what's going on?

492
00:26:50,620 --> 00:26:51,420
My lord,

493
00:26:52,020 --> 00:26:55,140
I have told Mr. Xue of Dong'guang...

494
00:26:55,380 --> 00:26:56,500
that I'm still haunted by...

495
00:26:56,660 --> 00:26:58,420
my trial in Gengzi year.

496
00:26:58,940 --> 00:27:02,020
That's why I used my first pupil,
Liu Zhen Sheng's name.

497
00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:03,600
Clerk Hou,

498
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,520
I didn't intend to hide my real name.

499
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:07,620
Please forgive me.

500
00:27:09,170 --> 00:27:10,330
It's okay.

501
00:27:10,610 --> 00:27:11,410
Clerk Hou,

502
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,760
did you receive the goods
he delivered yesterday?

503
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:14,640
I did.

504
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:15,640
Where are the goods?

505
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,780
They're in the storehouse.

506
00:27:16,860 --> 00:27:17,700
Bring me there.

507
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:18,800
Yes, sir.

508
00:27:28,780 --> 00:27:29,900
[Treasury]

509
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,720
Huo Yuan Jia, you...

510
00:27:34,110 --> 00:27:34,910
Come in with me.

511
00:27:39,110 --> 00:27:39,950
Look at this.

512
00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:40,870
Look at this.

513
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:43,900
There are only medicinal
herbs in these boxes.

514
00:27:44,020 --> 00:27:45,300
Where is the opium?

515
00:28:05,450 --> 00:28:06,250
That's impossible.

516
00:28:06,370 --> 00:28:08,530
Someone must have swapped the opium.

517
00:28:08,930 --> 00:28:09,910
My lord,

518
00:28:09,990 --> 00:28:12,150
when I opened the
storehouse's door, I noticed...

519
00:28:12,230 --> 00:28:13,230
the lock had been picked.

520
00:28:14,070 --> 00:28:15,630
-Guards.
-Here.

521
00:28:15,710 --> 00:28:16,990
Huo Yuan Jia is a thief.

522
00:28:17,070 --> 00:28:18,630
-Arrest him now.
-Yes, sir.

523
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,700
I had wanted to ask,

524
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,200
for what cause did you beat
the drum of grievance?

525
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,720
Even if there were opium in those boxes,

526
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:30,990
you were the escort,

527
00:28:31,070 --> 00:28:33,350
which makes you an accomplice
to opium trade.

528
00:28:33,430 --> 00:28:35,030
Lucky for you.

529
00:28:35,270 --> 00:28:36,390
Everyone saw it too.

530
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,480
Those are medicinal herbs in the boxes.

531
00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:41,660
And you said there was opium.

532
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,120
I bet you were just dreaming.

533
00:28:44,740 --> 00:28:45,700
I wasn't dreaming.

534
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,960
I, Huo Yuan Jia, am a noble man.

535
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,680
I'd never raise a grievance
heedlessly.

536
00:28:50,510 --> 00:28:51,990
Tell me then.

537
00:28:52,830 --> 00:28:54,390
How did you enter the court last night?

538
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,920
How did you enter the storehouse?

539
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,680
-I...
-You weren't alone, were you?

540
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:03,760
I...

541
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,310
Banditry has been rampant
around our district.

542
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,240
Are you in league with the bandits?

543
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,080
It seems I've struck a nerve.

544
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:14,520
Huo Yuan Jia,

545
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,560
you claim to be a noble man,

546
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,720
yet you associate yourself
with bandits.

547
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,800
Don't you know...

548
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,820
they're a bunch of criminals
bent on destroying the government?

549
00:29:24,330 --> 00:29:27,210
They must've used a confounding spell
to entice you...

550
00:29:27,610 --> 00:29:29,520
to beat the drum of grievance.

551
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,760
Their motive...

552
00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:33,500
is weaken my people's faith in me...

553
00:29:33,990 --> 00:29:35,590
and benefit from the mayhem.

554
00:29:35,670 --> 00:29:36,910
-Guards.
-Yes, sir.

555
00:29:36,990 --> 00:29:38,310
Close the city gate immediately.

556
00:29:38,710 --> 00:29:40,710
All guards, patrol the streets now.

557
00:29:40,790 --> 00:29:42,320
Search for the bandits.

558
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,200
Yes, sir.

559
00:29:47,990 --> 00:29:49,800
Reporting in!

560
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,940
-My lord.
-What is it?

561
00:29:53,020 --> 00:29:55,300
Huo Yuan Jia's pupils are spreading
rumours outside.

562
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,920
They said the government has
smuggled opium into Shouyang.

563
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,400
The people are on the verge of rioting.

564
00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:04,070
Huo Yuan Jia,

565
00:30:04,950 --> 00:30:06,070
did you hear that?

566
00:30:06,380 --> 00:30:08,060
Look at the trouble you've caused me.

567
00:30:08,740 --> 00:30:09,540
It wasn't me.

568
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,160
My lord, there is
something fishy about this.

569
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,800
Please investigate, my lord.

570
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,720
There were only herbs in those boxes.

571
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,760
You saw it too.

572
00:30:16,990 --> 00:30:17,920
-Guards.
-Yes, sir.

573
00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:20,600
Bring the boxes to the front door.

574
00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:36,260
Everyone look.

575
00:30:37,410 --> 00:30:38,530
These are all herbs.

576
00:30:38,610 --> 00:30:40,370
Quality herbs. Nothing else.

577
00:30:40,450 --> 00:30:42,450
That's right. These are all quality herbs.

578
00:30:44,420 --> 00:30:45,220
Right.

579
00:30:50,020 --> 00:30:51,220
These are all herbs.

580
00:30:51,460 --> 00:30:52,500
There is no opium.

581
00:30:53,220 --> 00:30:56,420
It was Huo Yuan Jia who
beat the drum today.

582
00:30:57,020 --> 00:30:59,580
He's quite well-known.

583
00:30:59,770 --> 00:31:00,730
Huo Yuan Jia?

584
00:31:00,970 --> 00:31:01,810
Sounds familiar.

585
00:31:02,090 --> 00:31:02,960
The martial artist.

586
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:03,880
I've heard of him.

587
00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:04,990
He's quite well-known.

588
00:31:05,110 --> 00:31:07,110
Huo Yuan Jia came to Shouyang...

589
00:31:07,190 --> 00:31:08,630
out of the blue.

590
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,040
He started to spread
rumours and cause trouble.

591
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,360
He must be punished.

592
00:31:13,620 --> 00:31:17,140
But I think he might be suffering
from some kind of madness.

593
00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:18,180
Since he's sick,

594
00:31:18,420 --> 00:31:19,660
he'll not be executed.

595
00:31:19,940 --> 00:31:21,380
Neither will he be jailed.

596
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,640
Still, he's made a false accusation.

597
00:31:23,980 --> 00:31:27,060
The punishment of twenty strokes
of the stick is inescapable.

598
00:31:27,660 --> 00:31:28,460
Guards,

599
00:31:28,660 --> 00:31:30,140
bring Huo Yua Jia here.

600
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,460
[Shouyang County]

601
00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:37,340
-Bend over.
-Bend over.

602
00:31:37,660 --> 00:31:38,780
Don't you beat my master!

603
00:31:39,130 --> 00:31:39,930
Da You.

604
00:31:40,090 --> 00:31:41,120
Are you trying to rebel?

605
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,240
-Take him down.
-Yes, sir.

606
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:44,800
Behave yourself...

607
00:31:45,590 --> 00:31:46,670
in front of the magistrate.

608
00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:48,390
-Master...
-Master.

609
00:31:50,140 --> 00:31:50,940
Liu Zhen Sheng,

610
00:31:51,340 --> 00:31:52,860
ask your brothers to back off.

611
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,360
-Master...
-I've made a mistake,

612
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,760
I'll accept the punishment.

613
00:32:03,110 --> 00:32:05,230
Da You, Ah Fa, Gao Qi,

614
00:32:05,530 --> 00:32:06,330
listen to Master.

615
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:07,880
Back off.

616
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:27,600
Hit him!

617
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,480
-Master!
-Master!

618
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,400
Master,

619
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,640
you're badly injured,
you should be lying down.

620
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:12,800
Gao Qi,

621
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,400
I noticed that you like to show off.

622
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:16,720
That is your flaw.

623
00:33:17,660 --> 00:33:18,620
Yes, Master.

624
00:33:19,340 --> 00:33:21,220
I thought everybody is against opium,

625
00:33:21,380 --> 00:33:24,220
and you beating the drum of grievance
would garner their support.

626
00:33:24,380 --> 00:33:25,260
I didn't expect...

627
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,260
It's all my fault.

628
00:33:27,340 --> 00:33:29,100
I should be punished instead of you.

629
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:32,420
I'm glad you acknowledge
your mistake, and are willing to change.

630
00:33:33,020 --> 00:33:33,820
Go on.

631
00:33:34,020 --> 00:33:35,100
Yes, Master.

632
00:33:37,150 --> 00:33:38,350
Here, Master.

633
00:33:39,270 --> 00:33:40,350
Master, you mustn't sit.

634
00:33:40,870 --> 00:33:42,750
Zhen Sheng had just treated your wound.

635
00:33:44,550 --> 00:33:45,350
Da You,

636
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,040
you are a great fighter.

637
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,520
But always think before you act.

638
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,280
Acting rashly might cost you your life.

639
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,560
Yes, Master.

640
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:55,880
I shouldn't act arrogantly...

641
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,120
in the court today.

642
00:33:58,820 --> 00:33:59,620
Master,

643
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,480
one thing puzzles me.

644
00:34:02,180 --> 00:34:03,820
That opium you saw last night,

645
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:05,100
where did it go?

646
00:34:08,460 --> 00:34:09,860
You said I saw it,

647
00:34:10,540 --> 00:34:12,460
but have you seen it with your own eyes?

648
00:34:14,620 --> 00:34:16,100
-I...
-Ah Fa,

649
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,679
next time, don't believe
everything you hear...

650
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,429
unless you've seen it with your own eyes.

651
00:34:20,510 --> 00:34:23,070
Not even my words.

652
00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:25,510
Zhen Sheng,

653
00:34:26,429 --> 00:34:28,960
if you hear a disturbance tonight,

654
00:34:29,270 --> 00:34:30,860
just ignore it.

655
00:34:31,310 --> 00:34:33,060
Do not come into my room.

656
00:34:33,949 --> 00:34:34,949
Master, you...

657
00:34:35,030 --> 00:34:35,830
Alright.

658
00:34:36,310 --> 00:34:37,630
Open the window for me.

659
00:34:38,030 --> 00:34:39,590
Bring your brothers back to their room.

660
00:35:12,510 --> 00:35:13,350
Sha Lang,

661
00:35:15,910 --> 00:35:18,540
what have I ever done to you?

662
00:35:19,150 --> 00:35:21,070
Why did you frame me?

663
00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:22,870
Even now,

664
00:35:23,230 --> 00:35:24,750
you're still pretending.

665
00:35:25,550 --> 00:35:26,430
Don't worry.

666
00:35:26,830 --> 00:35:28,990
I won't smash your head just yet.

667
00:35:29,540 --> 00:35:30,340
Get up.

668
00:35:30,700 --> 00:35:31,980
Let's have a fight.

669
00:35:32,060 --> 00:35:34,100
I'll let you know why you deserve to die.

670
00:35:35,060 --> 00:35:36,660
I'm not in the mood to fight you.

671
00:35:37,660 --> 00:35:41,940
I've gotten a taste of Mr. Qiu's
potion of enticement in Shisanli Mound.

672
00:35:42,290 --> 00:35:44,650
But I couldn't figure out how you
managed to...

673
00:35:44,770 --> 00:35:46,210
cast a confounding spell on me.

674
00:35:47,250 --> 00:35:48,570
Confounding spell?

675
00:35:49,810 --> 00:35:52,930
You're the one confounding us
with your fake martyrdom.

676
00:35:53,210 --> 00:35:56,250
You burned the evidence
to hide the truth.

677
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:59,860
You pretended to raise a grievance
by beating the drum.

678
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:02,380
Once you beat the drum,

679
00:36:02,780 --> 00:36:05,020
the guards at the backyard
began to swap the opium out.

680
00:36:05,810 --> 00:36:08,210
It wasn't until hours later
that the trial was held.

681
00:36:08,650 --> 00:36:10,620
How cunning and deceptive you are.

682
00:36:11,930 --> 00:36:13,010
Swapped the opium out?

683
00:36:13,970 --> 00:36:16,410
Wasn't that you and that
evil magistrate's plan?

684
00:36:17,830 --> 00:36:19,590
You even took 20 strokes
just for show.

685
00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:22,070
Did you think you're Huang Gai?

686
00:36:23,550 --> 00:36:24,350
Sha Lang,

687
00:36:24,660 --> 00:36:26,540
you are confusing me.

688
00:36:26,630 --> 00:36:28,350
Yet it all makes sense to me.

689
00:36:29,990 --> 00:36:33,620
Yesterday, I thought you were deceived.

690
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:35,310
Now that I think of it,

691
00:36:35,450 --> 00:36:37,210
you are the mastermind behind it all.

692
00:36:37,450 --> 00:36:38,610
There's so much opium.

693
00:36:38,850 --> 00:36:41,090
How much ill-gotten money
have you earned?

694
00:36:42,620 --> 00:36:44,100
Don't insult me.

695
00:36:45,660 --> 00:36:47,220
Did you think you're home free...

696
00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:50,460
once the opium was swapped
and kept intact?

697
00:36:51,020 --> 00:36:51,820
Did you forget...

698
00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:54,100
my sister Sha Yan,

699
00:36:54,180 --> 00:36:55,620
who can move as light as a swallow?

700
00:36:56,060 --> 00:36:59,750
Did you think she wouldn't see through
your tricks?

701
00:37:00,750 --> 00:37:01,590
So...

702
00:37:01,930 --> 00:37:03,330
the opium was swapped,

703
00:37:03,650 --> 00:37:05,010
and Sha Yan was there?

704
00:37:05,090 --> 00:37:05,890
That's right.

705
00:37:06,290 --> 00:37:07,130
That opium...

706
00:37:07,210 --> 00:37:09,370
would've fallen into our hands...

707
00:37:09,580 --> 00:37:10,780
one way or the other.

708
00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:14,740
Good.

709
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:16,220
Take me there.

710
00:37:23,630 --> 00:37:24,550
There you go.

711
00:37:26,810 --> 00:37:27,890
Everything's in order.

712
00:37:28,170 --> 00:37:30,480
I shall leave now.

713
00:37:30,710 --> 00:37:32,820
I won't see you off,
lest someone sees us...

714
00:37:33,310 --> 00:37:34,510
and starts to talk.

715
00:37:34,670 --> 00:37:35,750
Of course.

716
00:37:35,870 --> 00:37:37,750
I'm just a servant.

717
00:37:37,870 --> 00:37:39,630
It'd be inappropriate for you
to walk me out.

[Mr. Liu hasn't examined

[didn't you examine it this morning?]

[Never mind.]

[Since Mr. Xue has already examined it,]

[I'll welcome your return

739
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,360
I've seen him before. His name is Hu Liu.

740
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,640
He works for Mr. Xue of Dong'guang.

741
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:06,480
What is he doing here?

742
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:18,820
The opium is still there. Someone left.

743
00:39:20,220 --> 00:39:21,380
We saw it, too.

744
00:39:21,490 --> 00:39:22,410
He knows that man.

745
00:39:23,780 --> 00:39:24,980
I couldn't hear it clearly.

746
00:39:25,380 --> 00:39:27,340
But the one who left should be the seller.

747
00:39:27,740 --> 00:39:30,300
He said he had suffered losses
from the previous two batches.

748
00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:31,980
The current batch didn't come easily.

749
00:39:32,060 --> 00:39:33,500
He doubled the price.

750
00:39:33,610 --> 00:39:35,500
There were two batches of opium before,

751
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,080
but we intercepted it and burned it.

752
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,240
The crooked merchant...

753
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:39,920
gave five gold bars to Clerk Hou.

754
00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:42,260
He even hired two women to pamper him.

755
00:39:42,770 --> 00:39:44,010
Let him have his fun.

756
00:39:44,180 --> 00:39:46,020
I'm going to burn him to death.

758

What do you have to say?

761
00:40:31,350 --> 00:40:35,390
Could I really have been used
by a crooked merchant...

762
00:40:35,830 --> 00:40:37,910
and made an enabler to opium trade?

763
00:40:38,610 --> 00:40:40,970
Those in the martial world
praise me as a hero.

the martial spirit.
