1
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,800
Sun Qian...

2
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,620
Splendid!

3
00:00:54,420 --> 00:01:00,940
=The Tang Mist S1=

4
00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:21,580
=Episode 20=

5
00:02:22,110 --> 00:02:23,600
Sun Qian...

6
00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:27,960
Zheng Kai.

7
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,480
You must die today!

8
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,360
Seize him!

9
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,200
You even stole
the Zheng clan's heirloom blade.

10
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,160
You shameless thief.

11
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,400
Leave him alone!

12
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:46,670
Stop!

13
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,360
Qinglan.

14
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,640
Examine them.

15
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,799
Thick bones.

16
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,800
Yellowing teeth.

17
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,240
These aren't children.

18
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,120
Sun Qian.

19
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,720
If my guess is correct,

20
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:16,230
these "children"
are the same age as Yunqi.

21
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,550
Fifteen years old.

22
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,320
They were born to the pregnant women
Madam Cui abducted.

23
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,440
What are you saying?

24
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:24,240
Fifteen years ago,

25
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,200
everyone knew pregnant women
went missing from Yunluo Village.

26
00:05:27,710 --> 00:05:29,520
But none of you could ever imagine

27
00:05:29,950 --> 00:05:31,755
the scene I found
when I tracked them down.

28
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,040
At the foot of the mountain
in Yunluo Village,

29
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,890
lay ten corpses, including my wife's.

30
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,479
Along with nine poisoned,

31
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,960
dying infants.

32
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,160
Luckily, I found them in time.

33
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,159
I purged the poison from their bodies

34
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,080
and saved their lives.

35
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:50,830
Zheng Kai.

36
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,160
Look closely.

37
00:05:54,210 --> 00:05:56,620
This is the sin your wife,
Madam Cui, committed!

38
00:05:57,380 --> 00:05:59,240
I want nothing
more than to eat her alive!

39
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,640
That's impossible.

40
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:06,440
The wildfire

41
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,950
conveniently erased
all traces of Madam Cui's crimes.

42
00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:13,910
Fifty-four lives
in Yunluo Village perished.

43
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:16,330
What secret

44
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,800
was that fire hiding?

45
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,320
Zheng Kai.

46
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,320
At this point,

47
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,110
are you still refusing to confess?

48
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,440
So you set the fire.

49
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,800
Di Renjie.

50
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,560
You are Her Majesty's trusted subject.

51
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,720
You shouldn't involve yourself in this.

52
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,720
I am

53
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,670
completely loyal

54
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,480
to the Imperial Court

55
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,919
and the Great Tang.

56
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,680
But I am not blind to right and wrong.

57
00:06:49,070 --> 00:06:51,430
I won't twist
the truth out of fear of power.

58
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:52,840
Zheng Kai.

59
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:55,533
A true man has a clear conscience
before the world.

60
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,780
By abetting such evil,

61
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080
how can you face your ancestors?

62
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,820
Thirty years ago,

63
00:07:14,430 --> 00:07:17,140
Empress Wang was
deposed to make way for Wu.

64
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,800
The Heavenly Empress took power.

65
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,960
She ruthlessly purged
Empress Wang's entire clan.

66
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,839
Empress Wang's niece

67
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,660
fled to the outskirts of Luling County.

68
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:31,440
She hid her identity
and settled in Yunluo Village.

69
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,990
Fifteen years ago,

70
00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:38,230
the Heavenly Empress's
inner guards tracked her down.

71
00:07:38,290 --> 00:07:39,600
They ordered me

72
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,800
to eradicate the remnants.

73
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,000
To prove my loyalty,

74
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,870
I gave the order to kill the innocent

75
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,320
rather than risk her escape.

76
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,200
What cruel irony.

77
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,239
The descendant
of Empress Wang you sought to kill

78
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,480
was my wife, Wang Ying.

79
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,120
And the child she and I conceived

80
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,370
was raised by your own hands.

81
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:09,600
Father...

82
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,210
Sun Qian.

83
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,920
All these years, you were protecting

84
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,359
your own child,

85
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,488
so that he'd survive
as a member of the Zheng clan.

86
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:32,919
But why

87
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,080
make such a spectacle
of killing Liu Wang,

88
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,740
(Wu shall die.)
and a divine targeting Heavenly Empress?

89
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,560
Liu Wang actually
suspected Yunqi's true identity.

90
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,880
I had no choice but to kill him.

91
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,440
I directed
the fake divine punishment at Wu Zetian

92
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,239
with no other motive

93
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,159
than to terrify Xu Tong

94
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,159
into closing the case immediately.

95
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,559
I never expected

96
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:53,560
you would get involved,

97
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,990
Di Renjie.

98
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,390
And by a twist of fate,

99
00:08:57,460 --> 00:08:59,310
you uncovered
the truth behind the wildfire.

100
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:00,920
Perhaps

101
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,000
this is simply the will of Heaven.

102
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,440
Commissioner Di.

103
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,840
What brings you here?

104
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Commissioner Di. Qinglan.

105
00:09:17,088 --> 00:09:17,880
Perfect timing.

106
00:09:17,881 --> 00:09:19,080
Look.

107
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,160
Look at this child.

108
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,920
His eyes and nose

109
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,000
look exactly like my husband's.

110
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,080
Is that right?

111
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,959
Right?

112
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,040
Let go!

113
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:30,880
Let go!

114
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,520
Xu Tong!

115
00:09:31,521 --> 00:09:32,760
Don't hurt my child!

116
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,800
Magistrate Xu...

117
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,280
- Give my child back!
- Shut up!

118
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,360
You wicked woman.

119
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,800
Open your eyes and look closely!

120
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,560
What he took

121
00:09:42,561 --> 00:09:43,720
was not your child.

122
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,040
But what you took

123
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,800
was the flesh and blood

124
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,750
of ten murdered mothers!

125
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,840
You've lost all humanity.

126
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,400
You have the heart of a viper!

127
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:54,879
Sun Qian and Zhao De

128
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:55,920
have both confessed.

129
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,639
The evidence is irrefutable.

130
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,400
Surrender now!

131
00:10:03,290 --> 00:10:07,350
Confess to every single one
of your heinous crimes!

132
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,520
They're all lowborn.

133
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:18,880
Except this one.

134
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:21,840
He looks decent.

135
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,240
What should we do with the women?

136
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,120
Kill them all.

137
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,810
And the remaining children?

138
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,000
Leave no survivors.

139
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,320
Dear.

140
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,040
How could you be so vicious?

141
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,360
In all these years you bore no children,

142
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,150
I never once blamed you.

143
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Vicious?

144
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Kai.

145
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,080
Is that how you see me?

146
00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:41,000
The centuries of glory
of the Great Tang's Cui clan of Qinghe

147
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,640
are carved into my very bones.

148
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,110
It is my birthright,
my pride, and my dignity.

149
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:52,780
Even the imperial family
of the Great Tang

150
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,910
must tread lightly

151
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,390
around our clan's prestige.

152
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,280
The reputation of the Cui clan
of Qinghe means everything.

153
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:02,790
I cannot let my guard down
for a single moment.

154
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,160
Reputation?

155
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,080
Reputation...

156
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,030
Are those really that important?

157
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,620
Do you feel even a shred of remorse?

158
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:15,000
Why should I feel remorse?

159
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,160
Every single word
and action of the Cui clan

160
00:12:19,488 --> 00:12:20,630
dictates the rise and fall,

161
00:12:20,670 --> 00:12:22,910
the honor
and disgrace of our entire family.

162
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:25,780
I am of the Cui clan of Qinghe.

163
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:27,670
I am the face of my family.

164
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,360
I am the embodiment
of the Cui clan's legacy.

165
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,240
I see.

166
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,080
Father...

167
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,400
Mother...

168
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,230
Is everything you're saying true?

169
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,320
Yunqi.

170
00:12:44,750 --> 00:12:45,890
Mother.

171
00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:47,519
Ever since I can remember,

172
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,680
you've always been so strict.

173
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,040
Once, I was too playful

174
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,560
and fell out of a tree.

175
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,980
I broke my arm

176
00:12:54,030 --> 00:12:55,111
and couldn't stop crying.

177
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,200
You scolded me,

178
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,600
saying a man shouldn't cry.

179
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,170
When I did well in my studies,

180
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,440
I was so happy.

181
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,279
But you scolded me again,

182
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,920
asking why a minor achievement
was worth celebrating.

183
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,840
I thought I was doing something wrong.

184
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,960
So I worked my heart out.

185
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,880
I studied hard
and practiced martial arts.

186
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,320
But it seemed

187
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,000
I could never make you happy.

188
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,200
Until

189
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,950
you tied me up in the woods.

190
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:25,500
Mother!

191
00:13:25,570 --> 00:13:27,540
I was still trying
to find excuses for you.

192
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,360
It turns out,

193
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,320
I'm not a Zheng.

194
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,320
It turns out,

195
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,520
I never had a mother.

196
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,710
Your very existence

197
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,200
is a constant reminder of my disgrace.

198
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,760
If...

199
00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:53,770
If I were your biological son,

200
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,480
would things be the same?

201
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,240
Commissioner Di.

202
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,810
For me,

203
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,010
lives may be lost,

204
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,000
but our clan's reputation

205
00:14:23,444 --> 00:14:24,560
must never be tarnished.

206
00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:26,910
Here are your new clothes.

207
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,200
Thank you, Mother.

208
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,120
Mother!

209
00:15:40,290 --> 00:15:41,140
Mother!

210
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,400
Mother!

211
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:43,680
Mother!

212
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,640
(Countless times in my dreams, )

213
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,720
(you were there with me, Mother.)

214
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,950
(Your hands)

215
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,960
(were like the warm sun
brushing against my cheek.)

216
00:15:58,930 --> 00:16:00,320
(I actually believed)

217
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,270
(it was the real morning light.)

218
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,519
Hey, two more sets of sweet rice cakes!

219
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,720
Right away, sir!

220
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,119
Sir.

221
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,240
Why not rest for
a few days before you go?

222
00:16:34,866 --> 00:16:36,600
I've done all the heavy lifting for you.

223
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,080
Aren't you eager to be rid of me?

224
00:16:40,010 --> 00:16:41,030
Come no, sir.

225
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,800
I hate to see you leave.

226
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,110
With you and your team here,

227
00:16:44,450 --> 00:16:46,310
the people finally feel at ease.

228
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,760
It's just...

229
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,310
Judging by Magistrate Xu's face,

230
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,559
it seems you didn't sleep last night.

231
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,370
Your complexion is poor
and your tongue coating is heavy.

232
00:16:59,380 --> 00:17:00,380
What's the matter?

233
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,950
He's got something on his mind.

234
00:17:02,010 --> 00:17:03,088
It's eating him up inside.

235
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,440
You...

236
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:06,960
I just don't know...

237
00:17:06,990 --> 00:17:09,160
how to pass judgment on this case.

238
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,720
Look at it this way.

239
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,050
Madam Cui undoubtedly
faces the death penalty.

240
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,040
But what about Sun Qian?

241
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,320
The world is vast.

242
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,250
There are plenty of places one could go.

243
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,400
What do you mean?

244
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:32,520
Oh.

245
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:35,100
Exile!

246
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,199
Have him take the nine children

247
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,280
and send them all away.

248
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,680
What about Yunqi?

249
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:44,800
He's already left Luling.

250
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,920
He wants to make his own way.

251
00:17:47,155 --> 00:17:48,679
He's skilled
with both pen and sword.

252
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,680
He'll be fine.

253
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,870
Magistrate Xu Tong.

254
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,600
Because you reported
this case to the Imperial Court,

255
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:56,760
we were able to solve it.

256
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,355
You will be rewarded for your merit.

257
00:17:58,360 --> 00:17:59,439
But I hope that

258
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,520
you'll continue to serve the people

259
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,080
and justice.

260
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,560
Yes, sir.

261
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,160
Regarding Zheng Yunqi's true identity,

262
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,920
I expect you to take it to your grave.

263
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,720
Zheng Yunqi

264
00:18:14,977 --> 00:18:16,800
is the descendant
of the Cui clan of Qinghe

265
00:18:16,866 --> 00:18:18,480
and the Zheng clan of Xingyang.

266
00:18:19,460 --> 00:18:20,460
Sir.

267
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,639
Just like these noodles,

268
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,880
I'll chew it up and bury it.

269
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,999
Haven't finished eating?

270
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,800
Di, it's time to hit the road.

271
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,440
Alright.

272
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,440
We'll leave.

273
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,560
This meal

274
00:18:33,610 --> 00:18:34,640
is on you.

275
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,560
Sir!

276
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:52,120
You are truly my role model, sir!

277
00:19:04,140 --> 00:19:06,240
Until we meet again.

278
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,650
(The rumors of the Colossus
in Luling County have been put to rest.)

279
00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:22,080
(This case was born of fear.)

280
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:23,920
(Fear bred hatred, )

281
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:25,510
(and fear bred evil.)

282
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,080
(I believe that)

283
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:28,900
(if the heart harbors no fear, )

284
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,600
(then light will naturally follow.)

285
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,960
I pay my respects
to the Heavenly Empress.

286
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,430
Di Renjie has quite the nerve.

287
00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:45,280
He sent you to deliver his message.

288
00:19:46,350 --> 00:19:48,430
He is directly insulting me.

289
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,020
What else did he say?

290
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,380
If a ruler is benevolent,

291
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:57,120
they should
treat the people as their own.

292
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,490
Go to Longmen and study Buddhism.

293
00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:08,560
I need to give him

294
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:09,960
an answer.

295
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Yes, Your Highness.

296
00:20:16,780 --> 00:20:20,780
(Luling County, Jizhou)

297
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:28,899
