00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:45,320
[Melody of Golden Age]
2
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:55,480
[The ad is aired at this period of time]
3
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,000
[Episode 4]
4
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,760
Morning, Grand Minister
5
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,360
It's already so late
6
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:21,880
It seems that usually
7
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,720
the Ministry of Justice is not strict in discipline
8
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,720
Thanks to you
9
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,600
I slept so well last night
10
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,040
How confident that you think
11
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,600
the killer isn't from the second branch
12
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,200
Ninety percent
13
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,120
Go check it out quickly
14
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,320
While your head
15
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,760
is still on your neck
16
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,800
If you still keep me
17
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,160
awake all night
18
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,600
Even if my head is still there
19
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:50,360
I'd have to die in peace
20
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Young Master
21
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,560
Young Master, madam
22
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:56,960
Have breakfast
23
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,440
Not hungry
24
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,760
Whoa!
25
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,840
Really messy
26
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,880
Yan Xing
27
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:21,960
Yan Xing
28
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:23,440
Chuichui
29
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,000
Come on
30
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,640
The Shen family doesn't care about meals?
31
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,320
Eating together with him
32
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:28,760
Can I still be alive?
33
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,360
I'm afraid of choking
34
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,400
Seems fine
35
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,560
Let's go
36
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Choking
37
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,240
Are you serious?
38
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,600
I heard you and White Impermanence
39
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,480
had a deep romantic relationship
40
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,080
You always follow each other
41
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,200
and even get along well together
42
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,160
I've heard
43
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,080
the intimate horse-riding events
44
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,600
Tell me honestly
45
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,560
Indeed
46
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Good things do not go out,
47
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,240
but bad news travels far
48
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Bad news
49
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,560
You are now well known
50
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,720
inside the circle of
51
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,040
noble ladies in the Imperial City
52
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,480
That year,
53
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,040
a woman pretended to faint
54
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,440
and fell into Shen Du's arms,
55
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,280
she was taken by the Internal Affairs
56
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,280
and charged with
57
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,800
offending the Grand Minister
58
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,240
That's really what he'll do
59
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,960
Since then,
60
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,360
whenever a woman in Xiang'an City
61
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,520
sees White Impermanence,
62
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,880
they avoid him like the plague
63
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,040
Yet he still shows public affection with you
64
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,200
Even intimate contact
65
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,580
It's better to have less contact
66
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,040
This is...
67
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,280
The night of your wedding,
68
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,480
the Ming Hall caught fire,
69
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,160
The Empress Dowager was furious
70
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:38,240
Several people from the Internal Affairs
71
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,199
were held accountable
72
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Even your husband
73
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,120
was fined
74
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,520
Such things happened?
75
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,800
I heard that
76
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:46,840
that poor scholar named Chen Baiyi
77
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,000
self-immolated in the Ming Hall
78
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,120
because he couldn't achieve success
79
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,680
He's dead now
80
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,080
He should have been implicated
81
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,200
But in the end,
82
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,400
There's only their family left
83
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,680
This nearly sixty-year-old
84
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,200
elderly person with failing eyes and ears
85
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,080
Empress Dowager is kind
86
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,480
She had originally pardoned her
87
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,080
But this old lady
88
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,480
actually went to the Ministry of Justice
89
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,360
to sit in protest
90
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,880
Saying she must seek justice
91
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,600
She sat there for a day and a night
92
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:11,960
Just think about it
93
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,480
Who dares to take it on?
94
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,680
Don't you wanna be alive?
95
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:20,280
No matter what, heads will roll
96
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:21,520
Anyway, I only have one head
97
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,440
Old lady
98
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,320
If there's something, please stand first
99
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,640
If you truly have grievances
100
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,200
we'll definitely
101
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,400
offer you with an explanation
102
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Thank you, miss
103
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,280
Who's so bold
104
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:54,800
to take the old lady's petition?
105
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,480
Come forward
106
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,600
Step forward yourself
107
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,480
I'm in a good mood today
108
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,080
I promise not to kill you
109
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,240
Who took her petition?
110
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Was it the old woman at the door?
111
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,320
I've already sent her back home
112
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,040
Dismissed
113
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:15,400
Dismissed
114
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,320
How come again...
115
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,360
Actually, the old lady
116
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,040
should be comforted properly
117
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,160
Otherwise, sitting in front of
118
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:38,760
Ministry of Justice gate all day
119
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,760
That's not right
120
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,880
Regarding Chen Baiyi's self-immolation
121
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,480
This case
122
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,440
I've already handled it seriously
123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,040
The follow-up will be handed over to。。。
124
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:55,760
Feng Gui
125
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,000
Keep an eye on the old lady for me
126
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Don't let her come again
127
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,360
I'll take my leave
128
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:05,480
Master Wu
129
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,280
I think
130
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,000
Come over
131
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,160
The Liang family's murder case
132
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,720
has been taken over by the Internal Affairs
133
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Everyone
134
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,880
No more interference allowed
135
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,000
The Internal Affairs
136
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,400
is not a place where
137
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,000
casual interference is permitted
138
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,680
If there's any resistance
139
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,880
I'll severely punish you by law
140
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,120
Yes
141
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,720
Go and get busy
142
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,120
Master Wu, I...
143
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:49,800
Yan Xing
144
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,240
Chuichui
145
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,840
You two are still sorting out
146
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,040
the files, right?
147
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,120
Work hard
148
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,720
I'm just...
149
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:58,960
Yan Xing
150
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,520
I suddenly remembered
151
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,480
that Grand Minister Shen wanted to
152
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,840
invite you to lunch, right?
153
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,200
It's getting late
154
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,280
Well...
155
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,840
The file isn't so urgent
156
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,800
Lunch is more important
157
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,600
Lunch is more important
158
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:16,520
Let's go
159
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,840
Put down your business
160
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,680
and follow me
161
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,040
Okay
162
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,200
It's up to you then
163
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,520
Sorry, Madam
164
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,720
Tongming Pavilion has always had a rule
165
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,920
to only accept male guests
166
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,040
and not female guests
167
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,360
We are not guests
168
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:37,640
This is an official matter
169
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,520
How about this?
170
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,440
Sending another official to handle it
171
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,720
Although I am a scribe,
172
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:46,800
this person is recorded
173
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,040
in the Ministry of Justice
174
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,920
a ninth-grade scribe
175
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,799
Blocking us like this
176
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:52,640
Could it be a deviation
177
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:54,440
from the system of
178
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,200
selecting officials for the government?
179
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,080
Madam, please don't make things difficult for me
180
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,279
If you two ladies enter today,
181
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,279
I'm afraid
182
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,039
I won't be able to
183
00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:02,039
keep this job for long
184
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,600
How about this?
185
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,960
Take another look
186
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,800
Are we male guests
187
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,640
or female guests?
188
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:18,920
Male guests
189
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:19,680
This way, please
190
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:25,680
My Zhanxin
191
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,560
How could you be so unfortunate?
192
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,840
I thought
193
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,480
she would have a good life
194
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,640
with Liang Chenzhong
195
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:38,840
Who could be so cruel
196
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,080
as to kill her?
197
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,760
RIP, please
198
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,440
Do you remember
199
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,720
if anything unusual happened
200
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,760
before Kuang Zhanxin disappeared?
201
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,720
Or...
202
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:55,840
did she have any disputes
203
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,280
with anyone?
204
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,800
Zhanxin has always been gentle
205
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,560
and gets along well
206
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:02,560
with sisters and neighbors
207
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,280
Last night, before the officials came to inform you,
208
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:06,720
you didn't know
209
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,080
that Kuang Zhanxin had disappeared
210
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,400
She went out on the seventeenth of last month
211
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,120
to go on an outing with Liang Chenzhong
212
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,280
Usually, Liang Chenzhong
213
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,000
would take her out to play
214
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,960
I thought this time,
215
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,800
they were just out for too long
216
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:26,920
I may come again to ask you
217
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,920
if there's anything else
218
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,280
Please accept my condolences
219
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,840
I heard that Chen Baiyi set himself on fire
220
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,200
and burned down the Ming Hall
221
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,840
Fortunately, you drove him out early
222
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,200
The Cang favors those who are filial to their parents
223
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,920
He, from a humble family,
224
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,480
wanted to soar to the top
225
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,600
It was simply a delusion
226
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,920
If he could assist me with my writing,
227
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,800
it would be his good fortune,
228
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,840
yet he is still not satisfied
229
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,840
These poor scholar-children
230
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,880
simply do not know their place
231
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,560
One who is just studying with me
232
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,320
dares to vie for first place
233
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,120
in the literary competition?
234
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,240
Disgusting!
235
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Yan Xing
236
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,400
Yan Xing
237
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,400
Let's go
238
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,440
Yan Xing
239
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,240
Lord Xu
240
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,000
Scribe Lu
241
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:32,880
Lord Xu
242
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
You came to Tongming Hall for a case
243
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,240
It's the case that your husband
244
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,480
intercepted
245
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,120
I shouldn't call you Yan Xing
246
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,960
I should address you as Lady Grand Minister
247
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:47,480
Lord Xu
248
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:49,000
You should still
249
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
call me Yan Xing as usual
250
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:50,640
Okay
251
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:51,560
Then...
252
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:52,760
Don't call me Lord Xu anymore
253
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,000
Call me Brother Xu
254
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,040
Alright
255
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:55,920
Brother Xu
256
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,240
What happened to Kuang Zhanxin
257
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,240
got spread
258
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,640
The various masters
259
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:00,600
near Pingkang Hall
260
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,120
felt as if they were possessed
261
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,080
They always felt
262
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:03,960
that their daughters who had gone out
263
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,040
never returned
264
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,000
were all missing
265
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,040
There've been over a dozen reported cases
266
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,200
Are there anyone else missing?
267
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,240
No
268
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,520
17 girls were just reported missing
269
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,160
15 have been found
270
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,520
There are still two missing
271
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,680
But I think there's no major issue
272
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,800
But there's one thing
273
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,160
I haven't decided about yet
274
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,160
whether to report it or not
275
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,680
But I encountered you here
276
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,800
It records
277
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,480
the missing songstress cases over the years
278
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,320
Strange
279
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,360
These songstresses
280
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,000
are not the top stars in each hall
281
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,040
they all understand music
282
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,360
They're skilled in instrumental music
283
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,360
especially proficient in pipa
284
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,080
Exactly
285
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,880
It's too coincidental
286
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,600
That's why it feels suspicious
287
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,240
These are portraits of the missing women
288
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,080
These women
289
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,720
all have the same fairy hairstyle
290
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,840
Is there anything unusual?
291
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:21,920
Look
292
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,200
Although the faces of these women
293
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,560
are all different
294
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,640
they have common features
295
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,320
especially similar in expression
296
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,080
Right
297
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,760
At first glance...
298
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,000
there's an indescribable similarity
299
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,640
I originally intended to hand over these files
300
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,640
to your Ministry of Justice
301
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:41,520
but I felt it
302
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,160
inappropriate to bypass the Internal Affairs
303
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:44,480
Now it seems
304
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,120
it's best for you to take them
305
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:47,560
That White Impermanence
306
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,160
won't draw his sword to kill his wife
307
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:49,840
Right?
308
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,920
I'll take my leave now
309
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,640
In the morning, you vowed solemnly
310
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,640
and going out to investigate
311
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,720
I thought you were checking something
312
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,800
But it turns out you're just chatting here
313
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,880
I'm chatting with
314
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,040
Lord Xu, who leads the Yi Liangren in the city
315
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,080
We're discussing the case
316
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,840
Leading the whole city?
317
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,640
Impressive
318
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,120
Lord Xu, back then
319
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,520
was a great hero wanted by the court
320
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,480
with a reward of one hundred thousand taels of gold
321
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,320
It turns out Lord Xu
322
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,760
is the legendary one
323
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,600
who sneaked into the palace
324
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,560
and stole the Empress Dowager's jade pillow
325
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,440
It sounds great
326
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,600
But he got caught
327
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Despite being caught
328
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,280
Empress Dowager appreciated his talent
329
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,840
Not only did she not punish him
330
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,440
she even freed him from slavery
331
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,880
Being caught is the truth
332
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,960
That's just falling short a bit
333
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:07,760
I...
334
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,560
What kind of case can you discuss
335
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,040
with someone like him?
336
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,800
I can know
337
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,680
the Liang family's gambling
338
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,840
I'm close to winning
339
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,040
The current evidence
340
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,680
Every piece of evidence points
341
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,920
that this long-standing
342
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:23,880
series of murders
343
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,120
Once I find the real culprit
344
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,320
Liang's second branch
345
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,720
will be completely cleared of suspicion
346
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,360
Grand Minister
347
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,560
Report from the surveillance of the Liang family
348
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Said Liang's second branch
349
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,600
had chicken blood poured on them by the main
350
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,920
Mrs Liang became even more deranged
351
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:38,880
Third Master Liang, resolute
352
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,240
actually went to the Ministry of Justice to confess
353
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Also
354
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,880
King Ying wants to see you
355
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,320
King Ying
356
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,840
only requests Grand Minister to enter
357
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:16,800
King Ying
358
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,480
Liang Chenyu imprisoned
359
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,760
This was not the Empress Dowager's wish
360
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,760
If I'm right,
361
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,440
the Empress Dowager
362
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,040
did not require Grand Minister
363
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,240
to thoroughly investigate this case
364
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,080
But rather, to ensure the safety of Liang's second
365
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,560
The evidence is currently insufficient
366
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,200
There is no definitive conclusion
367
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,200
You've always been meticulous in his work
368
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:05,800
But this time
369
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,160
you didn't follow the rules promptly
370
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,720
Don't follow your father's ways
371
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,720
keeping silent while handling significant matters
372
00:17:24,239 --> 00:17:25,280
I dare not
373
00:17:38,959 --> 00:17:39,880
King Ying must be
374
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:40,880
testing Grand Minister
375
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,120
Regarding the Liang family's case
376
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:43,239
the Empress Dowager already instructed
377
00:17:43,239 --> 00:17:44,560
to protect the Liang family's second
378
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:45,040
But you, Madam
379
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,160
insist on investigating thoroughly
380
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,000
Now
381
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,320
Third Master Liang has been imprisoned
382
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,400
How can Grand Minister
383
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,360
explain this to the higher-ups?
384
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,040
I'll take care of this
385
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,720
I'll surely explain to the superiors
386
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,600
The Empress Dowager trusts you
387
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,080
Naturally, I also trust you
388
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,320
Just hoping that Grand Minister
389
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,480
will not betray this trust
390
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,000
I heard that the newlywed Mrs Shen
391
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,280
is quite interesting
392
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,760
I'm deeply grateful for the marriage
393
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,960
arranged by the Empress Dowager
394
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,080
Grand Minister
395
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,120
Five pairs of corpses were dug up
396
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:38,160
in Ximing Temple
397
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,680
The manner of death is the same as the previous two
398
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,080
It seems that
399
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,520
this matter is indeed
400
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,040
unrelated to the Liang's second branch
401
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,640
Together with Liang Chenzhong's previous two bodies,
402
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,080
six pairs of men and women,
403
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,520
twelve bodies in total
404
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,240
The killer's methods are the same
405
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,680
The men's hearts were dug out,
406
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:05,880
the women's faces disfigured
407
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,000
This isn't the soil from Ximing Temple
408
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,520
These bodies
409
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,080
have been recently moved
410
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,760
and reburied
411
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,200
Their faces are black and blue
412
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,320
The skin is turned out
413
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,240
But it can still be seen
414
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,880
that it's a young woman
415
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:27,960
Can the time of death
416
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,160
be estimated?
417
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,000
These two
418
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,320
should have been killed last month
419
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:35,600
Around the bodies
420
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,120
are many layers of charcoal and wood ash
421
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,440
They were used to mask the smell
422
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,320
What is this fragrance?
423
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,480
Is there anything unusual?
424
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,240
If my master were here,
425
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,440
he would surely discern
426
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,800
what's contained within
427
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:56,680
From my view
428
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:57,680
you've inherited
429
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,760
your master's skills
430
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:00,160
no less than
431
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,360
the legendary detective Pan Chi
432
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,920
I'm far from it
433
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,440
After my master retired,
434
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,480
he traveled far and wide
435
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,320
and probably has forgotten
436
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,440
about me, his disciple
437
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:10,440
This is the earliest
438
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:11,760
pair of bodies found
439
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:13,520
They are severely decomposed
440
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,960
It's difficult to pinpoint
441
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,880
the time of death precisely
442
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:19,720
It should be
443
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,400
four to six years ago
444
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,280
If it's the same killer
445
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,480
that would be cruel and insane
446
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,040
Cutting open and removing the heart
447
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:28,920
requires
448
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,160
a physically strong and skilled individual
449
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,720
Possibly a butcher
450
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,400
From what I see,
451
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,160
it's highly likely that the killer
452
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,640
is a woman
453
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:39,160
Why?
454
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,400
The injuries on each woman's face
455
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,200
are in the same place,
456
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,120
similar length and depth
457
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,400
Also, the force used with the knife
458
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,160
doesn't seem like a man's work
459
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,840
If the killer is a woman,
460
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,760
to kill twelve people over these years
461
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,320
These male victims
462
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,400
were not elderly or infirm
463
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,560
They died in their prime
464
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,480
How could they be killed by a woman?
465
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:04,920
Brother Xu
466
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,640
If something seems impossible
467
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,840
just because you haven't seen it,
468
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,640
then many mysteries in the world
469
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:10,880
can't be solved
470
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:12,720
Let's go
471
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:15,360
You...
472
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,800
What are you trying to do?
473
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:34,960
King Ying has ordered
474
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:35,920
the case of Ximing Temple
475
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,000
and the Liang's case
476
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,240
will be handled together
477
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,680
under the jurisdiction of the Internal Affairs
478
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:41,920
The officials from the Ministry of Justice
479
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,520
will no longer be involved
480
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,480
Whether you care or not
481
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,000
I'll take you to a place first
482
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,120
Where are we going?
483
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,080
You...
484
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:02,720
The scent of white musk
485
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,280
coming from her sleeves
486
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,680
The silk brocade embroidered with the pattern of Ruyi
487
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,400
The jade velvet hairpin
488
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,000
The peony white silk robe fan
489
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,800
If you have time to sit here daydreaming
490
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,080
It's better to think about
491
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,760
how to protect your own head
492
00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:26,540
Where exactly are we going?
493
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,200
Ministry of Justice
494
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,680
Please put me down quickly
495
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,240
We're not far from the Ministry of Justice
496
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,640
I can walk there by myself
497
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,320
The real culprit has not been found yet
498
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,920
Third Young Master of Liang is still in jail
499
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,240
If something happens to him
500
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,440
go bury him
501
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,120
Grand Minister Shen
502
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,880
I've never lost a bet
503
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,640
Grand Minister, why do you have time today
504
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,800
to come to our Ministry of Justice?
505
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,760
Can't I come?
506
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,160
What are you talking about?
507
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:18,920
Welcome
508
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,320
I need someone from you
509
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:21,720
to help at the Internal Affairs
510
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,240
Grand Minister needs to send people
511
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,240
So easy
512
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,400
Who do you want, Grand Minister?
513
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,960
I'll make arrangements immediately
514
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,360
It's her
515
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,200
The case of 10 corpses at Ximing Temple
516
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,040
has been fully handed over to the Internal Affairs
517
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,800
You don't need to handle it anymore
518
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:44,960
Yes
519
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,760
Grand Minister
520
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,320
I have many more case files
521
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,200
that have not been transcribed yet
522
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,040
I can't just go to the Internal Affairs
523
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,760
What are you talking about, Scribe Yan?
524
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,160
The files are not organized yet
525
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,560
Hand them over to Lord Lu
526
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,120
Quickly go with Grand Minister
527
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,480
If Scribe Yan isn't coming
528
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,520
So this case is closed like this
529
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:12,640
Master Wu
530
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,480
Take those piles of bones outside the city
531
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:17,640
And bury them wherever you like
532
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,040
No
533
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,600
I'll go right now
534
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,320
Yan Xing
535
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,360
It's been found in Chen Baiyi's family
536
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:28,920
The articles he wrote
537
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,840
I've read them all
538
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,560
Every article is beautifully written
539
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,400
You've really been suffered a lot
540
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,840
these days
541
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,760
It's not a big deal
542
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,480
Watch plays at the Furong Hall
543
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,280
Okay
544
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,520
Be careful
545
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:45,760
Grand Minister
546
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,540
The coroner's preliminary examination has been completed
547
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,000
Jing Lin
548
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,760
If you find out that
549
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,320
people from the Ministry of Justice investigate this case privately
550
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,520
handle them as collusion and corruption
551
00:24:58,840 --> 00:24:59,280
Yes
552
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,520
Then I have to thank
553
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,400
your guidance, Grand Minister
554
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:03,920
Giving me the right
555
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,360
to investigate this case
556
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,960
In the future, I'll do my best
557
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,000
to solve the case ASAP
558
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,360
It's good that you know
559
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,480
Since borrowing from the Internal Affairs,
560
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:14,320
Then I'm also
561
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,800
a member of the Internal Affairs
562
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:16,760
Naturally, I must abide by
563
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,040
the rules of the Internal Affairs
564
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,800
I am just a scribe
565
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,160
How can I ride the same horse
566
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,760
as the Grand Minister?
567
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,240
I'm not good at horse riding
568
00:25:29,540 --> 00:25:32,000
Lord Jing takes care of his subordinates
569
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:32,840
You certainly won't
570
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:33,880
leave me alone
571
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:34,640
Right?
572
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,560
I...
573
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:37,600
Then today
574
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:38,920
I'll have to trouble you, Lord Jing
575
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,120
to ride together with me
576
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:41,160
Lady, if you wanna ride a horse
577
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,680
you'll be with the Grand Minister
578
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,040
I'll just...
579
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,000
I'll lead the horse for you
580
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,680
I'm really sorry
581
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,400
Let's ride together instead
582
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,600
Gender doesn't matter in handling cases
583
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,280
Lord Jing
584
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,000
Just consider me as
585
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,400
an ordinary colleague
586
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,160
Lady, please stay seated
587
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,960
How long do you need to chat?
588
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,560
If you keep chatting like this
589
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,320
deduct half a year's salary from you
590
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,120
I...
591
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,280
Grand Minister
592
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:30,760
These
593
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,080
were taken from the earliest bodies
594
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,720
Made in
595
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,440
the first year of Shengli
596
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,720
This is worn by the male corpse
597
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,160
in the earliest victim
598
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:52,680
The first murder by the killer
599
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,640
should have been six years ago
600
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,320
Why?
601
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,320
The killer's methods
602
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,600
are consistent every time
603
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:06,280
The time of the crime
604
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,120
must also have its own pattern
605
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:10,040
An inch of difference
606
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,280
leads to a thousand miles of error
607
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,960
If the speculation is wrong
608
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,240
It won't be easy
609
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,480
to find the real culprit
610
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,080
Baoxiang Twin Fish Pattern
611
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:33,760
Jinxiu Workshop
612
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,880
This Baoxiang Twin Fish Pattern
613
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,880
was a popular design
614
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:37,840
by Jinxiu Workshop back then
615
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,840
It was swept the nation
616
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,080
Jinxiu Workshop was the largest
617
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,160
silk factory in the Imperial City
618
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,240
They offered silk tribute to the palace on the first day of each month
619
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,520
Until June of the third year of Shengli
620
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,640
Jinxiu Workshop offered
621
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,200
excessive summer clothes to Princess Runing
622
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,400
for which they were punished for insubordination
623
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,900
Since then
624
00:27:53,060 --> 00:27:54,160
No one in the Imperial City
625
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,200
dares to wear fabric outside
626
00:27:56,980 --> 00:27:57,920
This male corpse
627
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:58,680
must have died
628
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,440
before the rebellion case of Jinxiu Workshop
629
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,800
Golden medal made in the first year of Shengli
630
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:04,480
It's possible that
631
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:05,560
he died in the first year of Shengli
632
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,320
Impossible
633
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:09,280
Baoxiang Twin Fish Pattern
634
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,360
was the spring clothing style made by
635
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:12,160
Jinxiu Workshop in the third year of Shengli
636
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:14,320
Only available from February to April that year
637
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,280
You remember so clearly
638
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,600
In the case files
639
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,200
the old case files of Jinxiu Workshop
640
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:21,720
A volume of illustrated books
641
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,560
recorded on the floral patterns
642
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,480
of Jinxiu Workshop for ten years
643
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:25,680
Jing Lin
644
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,680
Go and compare for confirmation
645
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:28,760
No mistakes are allowed
646
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,480
Yes
647
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,520
Madam
648
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,120
Inside the case files
649
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,680
are precious items and rare books
650
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:48,640
Don't wander around
651
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,200
And don't touch anything
652
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,680
Got it
653
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,320
Let's split up to search faster
654
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,280
You go over there
655
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,240
Don't touch anything
656
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,000
Hongwen Hall's selection of examination essays
657
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,520
Hurry up with the work
658
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:26,520
Faster
659
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,360
Don't drop things
660
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:29,680
What's going on?
661
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Wait a moment
662
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:33,400
No
663
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:34,680
Why are you here?
664
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:35,600
Aren't you transferred
665
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,680
to the Internal Affairs?
666
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,880
I need to see Master Wu
667
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,800
There's progress in the Chen Baiyi's self-immolation case
668
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,400
Master has instructed
669
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,680
no one is allowed to mention
670
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,480
the incineration case in the Ming Hall
671
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,360
If asked again
672
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:46,560
Submit a resignation letter
673
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:47,760
There is really more to it
674
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,080
I need to see Master Wu
675
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,080
Wait a moment
676
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,280
Didn't you see
677
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,640
the whole Ministry of Justice today
678
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:53,800
is in chaos
679
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,000
because of a nursery rhyme
680
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,040
Who has time
681
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,760
to investigate a self-immolation case?
682
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,400
Is it
683
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,320
What's the nursery rhyme?
684
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:00,400
Don't you know that?
685
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,720
You'll lose your head
686
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:04,840
Every household in the palace
687
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:05,800
is talking about it
688
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,080
I need to see Master Wu
689
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,800
I really don't know what
690
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,760
will be in trouble this time
691
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:13,920
Slow down
692
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:14,880
Watch your step
693
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,160
People have no heart
694
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,600
Buddha has eaten the heart
695
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,400
The disorder under heaven's rule
696
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,240
Buddha hides the sin of appetite
697
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Black Rakshasa is coming
698
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:35,560
Kid
699
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,640
Do you know what you just said
700
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,160
is extremely rebellious
701
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:44,840
Tell me
702
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,480
How should we punish you?
703
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:50,680
Try this new invention
704
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:51,640
"Enter the pot"
705
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:53,600
Later on
706
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,000
roast the pot on the fire
707
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,400
You'll have more fun playing
708
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,480
Come in
709
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:06,960
No, my lord
710
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,680
No, my lord
711
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,640
No, my lord
712
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:09,280
My lord, no
713
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,840
He is just a child, my lord
714
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,120
Please spare him, my lord
715
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,360
Spreading such blasphemous words
716
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:16,720
Wouldn't the imperial city
717
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,160
become a lawless place?
718
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,880
No, my lord, you misunderstand
719
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,440
I'll educate your kid
720
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,360
if you don't educate him properly
721
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,840
Please, my lord, no
722
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,880
Make way for the King Ying's carriage
723
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,760
Your Highness
724
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,920
This person seems familiar
725
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,640
What is the commotion about?
726
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:55,320
Your Highness
727
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,640
Please save my child
728
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,560
Please save my child
729
00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,120
Your Highness
730
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,320
I came out to patrol the streets
731
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,720
and heard a child speaking boldly
732
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:04,800
and disrespectfully
733
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,200
So I detained the child
734
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,240
Apologies for disturbing you, Your Highness
735
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,240
I see
736
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,480
Your Highness, please spare
737
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,120
Child speaks without restraint
738
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,520
I'll educate him well later
739
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,800
Yes, Your Highness
740
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:18,720
If a child is not taught,
741
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,800
It's the fault of the parent
742
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,640
You cannot escape responsibility
743
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:29,600
Vice Manager Lai
744
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,960
Who is without fault?
745
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,160
Moreover,
746
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,280
this is just a child's talk
747
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,480
You are always wise
748
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,840
Why tarnish your reputation
749
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,080
for a child?
750
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,680
Although that's true...
751
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,040
Since I've seen it
752
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:48,760
It means
753
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,600
there is a connection between us
754
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:54,520
Vice Manager Lai
755
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,920
Can you consider my face,
756
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,080
and spare this child?
757
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,560
Your Highness, since you speak,
758
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,320
I'll naturally release him
759
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,320
Release him
760
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,520
Thank you, Your Highness
761
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,480
As long as the child is safe
762
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:19,320
Thank you, my lord
763
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,040
You may go
764
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,880
Thank you, Your Highness
765
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,080
Your Highness
766
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,680
Your Highness is truly benevolent
767
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:29,680
and compassionate
768
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,760
See Your Highness off
769
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,320
Back to receive twenty lashes
770
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,000
Yes
771
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,160
Who exactly is that woman?
772
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,280
What happened?
773
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:23,880
Lai Luozhi fabricates complaints in front of the court
774
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,240
Saying the Grand Minister is incompetent
775
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,359
The Empress Dowager issued an edict
776
00:34:26,359 --> 00:34:27,640
to take the Grand Minister away
777
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,520
Both of you stay at the door
778
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:34,400
Report any news
779
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,080
regarding the Grand Minister promptly
780
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:35,720
Yes
781
00:34:37,240 --> 00:34:38,120
No entry allowed
782
00:34:41,319 --> 00:34:42,319
Ordered by the Grand Minister
783
00:34:42,319 --> 00:34:42,799
No one is allowed near the office
784
00:34:42,799 --> 00:34:44,000
without permission
785
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:44,720
Anyone who violates this rule
786
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,680
If you wanna break in
787
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:48,160
If you wanna break in, then
788
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,359
Step on me to do so
789
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,000
Don't flip
790
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,560
Or I won't be polite
791
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:06,680
Stop flipping
792
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:09,600
Or I'll kill myself
793
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:10,160
If you think
794
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,720
your Grand Minister has been here for too long
795
00:35:11,799 --> 00:35:12,720
Then go ahead and do it
796
00:35:14,839 --> 00:35:15,640
Ready for the ink
797
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:18,320
Ready for the ink
798
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:23,800
I hope we can make it in time
799
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:24,840
to present the document
800
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:52,000
You actually write
801
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,040
like the Grand Minister
802
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:04,040
Are you confident
803
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:04,680
that this will really
804
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:05,480
save the Grand Minister?
805
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,280
It's not certain he can walk away
806
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:08,600
But we should at least give it a try
807
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,520
Perhaps he can escape severe punishment
808
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,280
What are you standing there for?
809
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,320
Go quickly!
810
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,000
I'm waiting at the mansion
811
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,200
Stop flipping through things
812
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,240
Empress Dowager
813
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,400
The Internal Affairs has been in charge for many days
814
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,000
But has yet to solve the case
815
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,200
Now rumors are rife in the streets
816
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,240
Saying the court is ineffective in its appointments
817
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,400
And some even speculate about the Emperor's intentions
818
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,200
for alleging deliberate protection of the Liang
819
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,520
It tarnishes the reputation of the Empress Dowager
820
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,320
I plead with the Empress Dowager
821
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,040
to let the Imperial Court of Justice take over this matter
822
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,920
What you said
823
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,960
is also a matter of concern for me
824
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,440
Shen Du from the Internal Affairs is here
825
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,320
Shen Du, the chief of the Internal Affairs
826
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,760
pays respects to the Empress Dowager
827
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,280
May you live for a thousand years
828
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,280
Lord Shen
829
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,480
The case of the Liang family
830
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,400
remains unsolved
831
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,520
Shouldn't you
832
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,600
give me an explanation?
833
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,600
Report to the Empress Dowager
834
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,880
The Liang's case is not an isolated incident
835
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,120
It is related to multiple bodies
836
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,800
unearthed in succession at Ximing Temple
837
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,240
And is committed by the same perpetrator
838
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:46,680
The Internal Affairs is working on the case
839
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,120
based on the evidence
840
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,080
Liang's case involves key court officials
841
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,320
And Ximing Temple
842
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,920
is a place dedicated to worship
843
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,840
Now the unsolved case
844
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,120
is causing a stir in the city
845
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,880
A vulgar nursery rhyme is circulating
846
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,160
Tell me about it
847
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,480
I dare recite
848
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:07,920
this nursery rhyme
849
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,920
for the Empress Dowager to hear
850
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:13,680
People have no heart
851
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:15,560
Buddha has eaten the heart
852
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,560
The disorder under heaven's rule
853
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,760
Buddha hides the sin of appetite
854
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,320
Ridiculous
855
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,240
Empress Dowager, please calm down
856
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,200
I think
857
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:27,600
the reason this nursery rhyme is spreading
858
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:28,760
is due to
859
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:29,680
the unresolved Ximing Temple case
860
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,840
If the Internal Affairs can't find the real culprit
861
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,520
It would be better to
862
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:34,720
hold a ceremony to drive away evils
863
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:35,500
It might be effective
864
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,680
Empress Dowager
865
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:38,560
No need to bother
866
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,240
all these superstitious talks
867
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:49,800
Grand Minister Shen
868
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:51,640
You missed this
869
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,280
The Qianqiu Guards suddenly came to arrest me
870
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,360
I was currently sorting out the case
871
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,160
to present it to the Empress Dowager
872
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,080
What a phrase, "In this world, only the Buddha's heart brings peace"
873
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,760
Evil thoughts will never return after a thousand calamities
874
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,480
Unravel the truth and clear the grievance
875
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,200
With a keen eye, peace reigns under heaven
876
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:40,760
Good
877
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,240
Since you've already found
878
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:45,880
many clues related to
879
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,320
the Liang Family and Ximing Temple,
880
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,720
let's move forward
881
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:52,800
As you command
882
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:56,840
Lord Shen
883
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,600
You also mentioned in the report
884
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,680
that there is more to the self-immolation at the Ming Hall
885
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:03,920
The self-immolator
886
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,560
did not do it out of discontentment,
887
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,680
but to convey a message of sorrow through death
888
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,080
It was an act of helplessness
889
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:14,600
Is this true?
890
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,040
I'm currently verifying it
891
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,640
I'll report back soon
892
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:20,320
Empress Dowager
893
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:21,960
Alright
894
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:23,840
Both of you,
895
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,120
are my right-hand men,
896
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:27,760
each with your own strengths
897
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:31,040
Okay
898
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,640
Let's end it here today
899
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:35,240
You may all leave
900
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,000
Lord Shen
901
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,520
Please stay
902
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:52,680
There is one more thing
903
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,960
I need you to handle immediately
904
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,360
As you command
905
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,360
Grand Minister Shen
906
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,000
Today, in front of the Empress Dowager,
907
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,120
Lord Shen remained calm
908
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:29,520
and eloquent,
909
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:31,240
It's truly admirable
910
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:32,640
I'm flattered, Vice Manager Lai
911
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,880
I was merely stating the facts
912
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:40,920
It is said that
913
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:42,760
the Internal Affairs
914
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,120
are the Empress Dowager's eyes,
915
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,720
but their eyes are constantly shifting
916
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,960
You'd better not lose focus
917
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,760
Their actions
918
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,040
remain within their duties
919
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:54,640
Unlike the Imperial Court of Justice
920
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,800
whose teeth are always gnashing
921
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,440
If someone else were in charge,
922
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,220
they might find it hard to keep up
923
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,480
Hope Lord Shen will solve the case soon
924
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:12,520
But many are still
925
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:16,020
grinding their teeth
