Sheng.

For all the past years,

I always knew that you were a better physician

than I was.

I forbade you from paying visits

because I wasn't sure if you could stay focused.

I wanted you to have patience.

Who would have thought

that you'd put yourself on the list

of the four pests?

I was trying to save people.

You know that!

You may have goodwill,

but what you got

is everyone's detestation.

You should

watch your behavior.

OK.

Sheng,

seasoned skills and a kind heart make the core of a physician.

Mark these words.

They are going to help you your whole life.

All right.

Dad,

did you just permit me to make medical rounds?

I want you to close your eyes first.

Feel this.

How many hairs are under the cloth?

If your answer is correct,

then you can go about your visits.

Two.

Are you sure?

One human hair, one ox hair.

Now I got it right, didn't I?

Now what, Dad?

Can I go on visits now?

Sheng,

Illness is what you see,

but it's human lives that are on the line.

Be always on your toes,

and don't take things for granted.

Got it, Dad.

I've heard that one time too many.

[Episode 2] [The Trio Sets a Trap, Secrets Buried in the Case]

Sir,

the aide arrested me

for three reasons.

I also have three reasons

to be a part of the investigation.

Fu Sheng,

my reasons are logical.

I didn't make anything up.

Aide,

my reasons

are all genuine.

- What reasons... - First,

I'm the clerk of the county.

An autopsy is within my duty.

Second, my father is a victim.

As his son,

I'm obligated to find the murderer and avenge my father.

Third,

and this is the most important one,

I'm a suspect in this case,

and I don't think there's anyone with a stronger desire

to find out the truth more than me

since it's my innocence that's on the line.

Sir, please think twice.

Hey, you!

What the heck!

What the heck!

Let me.

What's your decision, Lord Yang?

Okay.

Considering

things are not clear about this case

and there's no admissible evidence,

as the head of this county,

I shall give you a chance

to prove your innocence.

Although

before you clear your suspicions,

I'm sending someone to keep tabs on you.

Don't bother.

I'll be following him.

He and I have unfinished business.

Thank you for offering your help, Lord Envoy.

Fu Sheng,

you have three days

to find Murder of Physicians killer and prove your innocence.

Should you fail to do that,

I won't be able to help you.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Thank you, my lord.

Let's go.

Just a second.

I'm coming with you.

What are you good at?

I can help you with the investigation!

- No, thank you. - No, thank you.

I can offer you protection!

Crazy Fu!

After what you went through to save lives,

you must be feeling tired.

Do you feel hot? Let me fan you.

It's okay. Help yourself.

Come on!

You don't even have a servant to carry the case for you.

Come on, let me get that for you.

Please, I can't trouble you with that.

It's okay.

Didn't you hear him saying no?

Free meals don't come from good places.

Don't knock it!

I just think he's too tired.

Come on.

It's okay.

Stop it.

Oh, right!

To think back,

I haven't thanked you properly for your help today yet,

Lord Envoy.

Stop addressing me as "Lord Envoy."

Call me Wen Jue.

Frankly, I wasn't trying to help you.

I want a good physician

for my father's illness.

Is your father suffering

from the headache you mentioned?

Exactly.

I'd help if I could.

But my master

keeps traveling around,

and I don't know where he is.

I have to take care of my father's murder first.

How about this?

After my father's case closes

and you have the patience till then,

I'll go with you.

Great, we have a deal.

Certainly.

You can never tell when is a woman

going to change her ideas.

Let's go.

Why am I suddenly itching?

I need to scratch my back!

I'm fine.

Let's go.

I feel much better now.

You guys go ahead. I'll catch up later.

Find us later.

It's great!

[The Medical Pavilion]

- Master... - Dad...

My lord.

My lord.

Dad!

[Healing Hall]

Master.

Master.

Sir.

Gu Tian visited several residences of the physicians

after leaving the county office.

It seems like

he has been searching for sure.

Good.

Do you have a decision now?

My lord,

we've never seen that thing you want.

Please have mercy.

- Spare us, my lord! - We've never seen it!

Please have mercy.

We are speaking the truth, my lord!

We've never seen that, my lord!

Sir.

- We've never seen it! - My lord, we really haven't!

We really haven't!

Don't hurt my mom!

Kiddo,

have you seen the thing I'm looking for?

No.

I really want to find what I've lost.

You shouldn't lie to me.

No, I haven't seen it.

Really?

Yes.

We've never seen something like that,

my lord!

What a pity.

You've seen my face.

My lord!

We've seen nothing!

My lord!

I've seen nothing!

My lord!

My lord!

[Clinic]

[Medicine Hut]

Is this Physician Zhang's clinic?

Yes.

You are late.

My master has passed away.

This city

will never get another gynecological master like him.

Master!

You shouldn't have suffered so much!

My man, I'm not looking for him.

I'm looking for you.

Master! You...

What?

You are looking for me.

What kind of medicine could be so powerful?

How come my father's expression

looks different from the others?

Fu Sheng!

Fu Sheng.

Why is Wen Jue waiting outside?

She refused when I asked her to come in together,

and said I should also stay outside.

I wasn't sure

about what kind of the poison was in this room

and I was afraid she'd touch it accidentally,

so I asked her to wait outside.

Am I going to be okay?

Yes.

I've figured out the source of the poison.

As long as you don't drink it,

nothing's going to happen.

Good.

Oh, right!

I brought you the guy.

Dr. Fu.

Liu Ji,

do you know

the ingredients of the medicinal tea?

The gang

bought the ingredients together.

A few days ago, my master learned

from the Eastern Market

that some merchant

are selling a batch of rare medicine at low prices.

The amount was huge

and he couldn't seal the deal himself.

That's why

he told the other physicians

and they bought the medicines together.

After they got the medicines,

they noticed changes in the smells.

Physician Fu brought everyone together to discuss

whether the properties of the medicines have changed

and whether they can be used.

Could the medicines have been poisoned?

Oh!

I brought some.

Here.

Is the seller

still in Shangyi?

Their young master got sick a few days ago

and stayed in our clinic.

My master diagnosed him.

[Fu's Medicine Clinic]

Leader!

What are you doing here?

Leader,

maybe we should drop this deal.

What happened?

These people don't have a moral compass.

They'll get us in huge trouble.

Stop beating around the bush.

Be straight with me. What is this?

They killed everyone in Physician Zhang's house.

What?

Where are they?

They just went to Physician Liu's place.

Stop!

Why are you killing people?

They don't have what I'm looking for.

Why keep their lives?

You treat the lives of the people of Shangyi like nothing.

I'm dropping this gig.

Let's go.

Don't come after me when you're a ghost.

He's the one who killed you.

Since you are turning the gig down,

I'll handle things my way.

I wonder how many lives

will my sword take.

Did I get under your skin?

Listen up.

You don't need to keep on this killing spree.

I'll get you what you want as soon as possible.

What do you say?

Hurry up, then.

I'm not a man of patience.

Keep him close.

Yes.

Leader, what should we do?

Leave with my brothers

and hide them for the time being.

But

what about that guy?

He did kill all the familiar members

of the deceased physicians.

If we can't get him what he wants,

- then... - Then not only will we die,

but family members of all physicians in Shangyi

will meet their miserable fate.

Leader,

should we...

We'll have to move fast

for the sake of all those innocent lives.

Time to go!

Hold on!

Who's standing in the way?

I need to talk to your boss.

Stop!

Guys,

let's not get rough here.

I apologize for the tension.

Our caravan encountered bandits before,

that's why the guys

have been vigilant lately.

You must be their young master.

Yours truly.

Are you the one who sold all those medicines

at low prices in Shangyi?

Our caravan was looted

and all our medicines were lost.

The medicines must have come from them.

Your caravan

is fully staffed.

How did the bandits pull it off so easily?

You don't know the whole truth.

The bandits have excellent combat skills

and are well organized.

They retreated in an instant after they got the medicines.

My security head didn't get to chase them.

They are not new to this.

I did notice that the bandit leader

was wearing heavy armor.

He doesn't seem to be an ordinary bandit.

I don't think the answer

is too complicated.

Zhao Sihu, one of the four pests,

is the only one with a team

equipped with horses.

I think we just need to find him

and ask him in person.

Why haven't the bandits come yet?

Are you sure they're here?

It can't be.

They should

have arrived by now.

You mean those masked men,

the bandits,

always rob along this road?

You are just sitting back and waiting.

Here they are.

It took so long.

We're here.

Here.

We're friends.

I thought he had some tricks.

But he's just a fool.

What's going on?

Gu Tian.

If you have anything to save your life, take it.

Are you okay?

Move.

When County Magistrate Yang sees this,

he will know I'm in danger

and the backup will be here soon.

You think we can hold that long?

We are friends.

Don't...

Sorry.

It's you.

The armor! You are the fake bandit who stole the herbs.

I will die anyway,

so does it matter who kills me?

Let's go.

Forward!

Let's go.

Retreat!

They're not Shangyi's rescuers.

They're real bandits.

What should we do?

Long time no see, Crazy Fu.

Didn't expect you would have this day.

Dismount and take off your clothes.

[Zhao Sihu]

Nice.

I should have seen you again yesterday.

But I was occupied.

How are you feeling these days?

Feel the same.

I can't get the energy to do anything.

Not even interested in robbing people.

If I hadn't heard that

you had this problem,

I would be drinking in the village right now.

You're drinking again?

No, I'm not.

I just

took a little sip.

You can ask them.

How much did he drink?

No, stop.

Easy.

Stop yelling.

Listen.

The heart is to circulate blood,

and the liver is to keep it.

This liver conflicts with alcohol.

Your internal organs are already at the end of their strength.

If you still don't listen to me,

you won't survive the end of the month.

This life is your own.

But when you go out, don't tell others

that I saved you.

I can't afford to lose face.

I told you I had palpitations and couldn't breathe.

But you aimed at my liver.

If your liver is damaged, your heart will also be affected.

That's why I don't let you drink, okay?

Alright, alright.

Crazy Fu.

No.

Physician Fu.

I saved you.

So

you won't charge me, right?

Sure.

It's not fair.

It's fine. His words make sense.

Are you silly?

Who do you think you are?

These people are kidnapping and extorting people

in your name.

If it weren't for us,

you would have been blamed.

So this time you saved us

and it can be even,

but you should pay him

for the treatment.

This is the first time

I've heard of such a thing.

Take them back

and torture them.

I want to see

who has the guts

to do this.

Here.

Leader.

Troops from Shangyi are coming soon.

Guys.

Farewell.

Let's go.

No wonder you dared to meet Zhao Sihu.

You two had such a connection.

I repaid the favor Zhao Sihu did

for saving us today,

so you two

should also owe me a favor.

Now you become smart.

Fine.

But my favor is valuable,

don't waste it.

I know.

Physician Fu.

I almost forgot your father's instructions.

He asked me to give this to you.

Bye.

What's this?

My father's medical book.

I left it there.

Sir.

This time we are defeated.

This is the first time we've lost so many men.

Go.

Block all the intersections in Shangyi.

As long as this person is in Shangyi,

we have a chance.

Yes.

What do you mean?

That's what I want to ask you.

I've been following Fu Sheng,

just testing him.

Now I'm sure the jade plate is with him.

I'll go back to him for dinner later.

And then...

Do you think I will still believe you?

No.

But it's your only chance.

You're back.

Come on then.

Here.

Try this.

Eat.

Fu Sheng, I want to ask you a favor.

We're friends.

You don't have to ask.

Just say it.

Can I borrow your

Bird Jade Plate?

How do you know the Bird Jade Plate?

What are you going to do with it?

Lend it to me or not?

I've helped you much.

You can't just pretend to be stupid.

They all say I'm crazy,

but I don't think you're any better than me.

You came to my place to grab things

and you are still so tough?

So you won't lend it to me.

You are on the same side.

Fu Sheng.

My final advice to you.

Hand over the Bird Jade Plate

and I will let you go.

I didn't expect you could do this.

I saw you as a friend.

But you are here for the plate, too.

A man is innocent,

but guilty of possessing a treasure.

Hand it over.

Stop hurting innocent people.

You killed my father?

Sort of.

And you also killed those physicians

and their families?

Now you know how worthy these things are.

Yeah.

And then?

I'm not giving it to you.

Then don't blame me

for being rude.

You do have some tricks.

Thank you

for helping me take down two losers.

Don't get me wrong.

I never kill anyone.

They just fainted.

Gu Tian.

Gu Tian.

We've known each other for a while.

I'm warning you

My Ghost Needle has something.

Ghost Needle?

Isn't that something from the tale?

Hurry up.

You want to die with him?

Do it!

Take him!

It's a mess, huh?

You little brat,

dare to fight against us?

It's a good trick.

You performed well.

I have something to confess to you.

Tell me.

The man pretending to be a bandit

came after your Bird Jade Plate.

Jade plate?

How did he know it?

Wait, you know it too?

You know

what I

live on.

My men heard about these outsiders,

and they were looking for

a Bird Jade Plate with a high reward.

I happened to see it

in your medicine box,

and wanted to make a fortune,

so I planned to steal your plate.

No wonder you looked so wrong.

You approached Fu Sheng

just for that plate thing?

At first I was.

But

I never told anyone

that you have the jade plate.

But I didn't expect

those people

would be so cruel.

They killed many people

for the jade plate.

I realized something was wrong,

but he threatened me with more innocent lives,

so I could only pretend to obey.

What are you going to do?

I need your help.

They disguised as bandits to launch an attack,

so their target is you.

We can only take the initiative

and never let him leave Shangyi.

Alright.

I'll help you.

[Just and Unbiased]

Looks like you picked the wrong path.

No, you chose the wrong path.

Within the three-day deadline,

Fu Sheng fulfilled his mission

and found the real culprit for the death of the physicians.

He's also the thief who pretended to be a bandit and kidnapped the caravan

and attacked us on the way.

Yes.

He has just admitted his guilt

in his confession.

The taste

of those medicinal herbs

changed after they were poisoned.

And the herbs the physicians used

to make medicinal tea

were the poison that killed them.

Suspect,

do you plead guilty?

He's telling the truth.

Well.

Since you confessed.

Guards!

Let him sign.

Wait.

Sir.

I have a piece of evidence in my arms.

Do you want to see it?

Don't play tricks on me.

For your future, sir,

I suggest you

to take a look at it yourself.

Don't you dare?

Why don't I dare?

[Jibei King]

Forgive me...

Untie him, now!

Magistrate Yang, what do you mean?

The little Xichuan.

You're so arrogant.

How dare you?

Shut up!

Princess.

[Jibei King] This is the official

sent by the Jibei Mansion.

Though Xichuan, to which you belong,

is also an independent country,

it is still a small vassal state,

its strength is far inferior

to that of Jibei State.

Princess.

Don't bring

unnecessary trouble upon Xichuan.

What king?

Jibei King?

I told you

you chose the wrong path.

I was blind.

I believe you're generous.

Don't blame me.

Your look now

is quite cute.

We can talk

later.

Why did the Jibei King kill my father?

Fu Sheng, what are you talking about?

But they did it.

They also robbed caravans

and sold the stolen herbs at low prices in Shangyi.

How dare you?

He's right.

Try it.

Fu Sheng!

How about it?

It's not poisonous.

It doesn't make sense.

Because this drug

is not toxic at all.

There was

a mysterious group lurking in Jibei for years,

plotting a rebellion,

and the mansion

had long been eyeing them.

Among them was an important figure,

who was meticulous and good at disguise.

He settled in Shangyi as a physician.

He was poisoned strangely, so he was immune to all poisons.

Only this medicine called Quexian

could force out the strange poison in his body.

Others won't be poisoned if they eat this.

I wanted to use this trick to lure this man out,

but he poisoned

all the physicians

and confused the public.

What a cruel person!

But they're already dead,

why does he still hide his identity?

Because he stole

an important thing from the mansion.

Do you know what it is?

Sir.

I want an autopsy.

Well...

Let him.

Don't escape with the treasure.

Send two men to keep an eye on him.

I'm on it now.

After examining so many bodies,

have you found anything?

What do you mean?

It's the heart.

From the extent of damage to their organs,

I could tell

they had been poisoned.

The poison entered the blood from the stomach

and then to the heart.

My father's blood contains a strange poison,

which will be activated once it meets with Quexian,

and becomes a deadly poison.

So my father's organs are least affected,

which explains why his expression

is different from those people.

I don't get it. Why?

It means

the man they are looking for is my father.

He knew he was going to die,

so he gathered the physicians,

shared ancient prescriptions,

and finally killed them.

But I really don't understand,

if he knew he was going to die,

why didn't he take refuge?

So many lives were gone

just like that.

Because of the Bird Jade Plate in your hand.

The Bird Jade Plate?

Mr. Ruan.

I didn't recognize you today.

Please accept my apologies.

I will take Fu Sheng away

after he finishes the autopsy.

Mr. Ruan.

I checked

the warrants issued by the imperial court before,

and Fu Sheng doesn't seem to be on them.

What do you mean?

After all, Fu Sheng

is a person under my jurisdiction.

And the murderer of physicians has not been found yet.

I think it's not the right time

to let him leave.

You mean that

the mansion needs to report to you

when carrying out missions?

Let me tell you.

No matter what his autopsy says,

I'm taking him away.

Yes.

I shouldn't say that.

Sir.

She has not woken up since giving birth.

Her body is burning hot.

Didn't Fu Sheng prescribe her medicine?

Ask someone to get it

and bring it back for her to drink.

Yes.

Mr. Ruan.

Sorry.

She disturbed our fun.

Here.

Let's drink.

I heard you are quite good

at being an official.

I've carried it with me since I was a child.

What's so special about it?

My father always had this book in his hand before,

but it ended up in Zhao Sihu's hands.

Could the secret be in this book?

But the medicinal materials in the book

are all incompatible with each other,

and even the order of performing the treatment is wrong.

But my father's skills were good.

He wouldn't make such small mistakes.

Is there another mystery?

Dark ink, strong smell.

These comments are new.

I didn't realize there were people

you could amass so much wealth

in this small place.

Sir, I know I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

What's your fault?

I admire your ability

to amass wealth.

I wonder if Mr. Yang

would be willing to be my friend.

I... I couldn't ask for more.

Couldn't ask for more.

Here.

Sir, take a seat.

I told you that you're good at this.

Sir.

Have some tea, please.

After drinking the tea,

then the gift...

It's all yours.

It's all yours.

You're a good man.

If you cut off my source of wealth,

I will cut off your life.

Here,

I'm the king.

You dare to threaten me?

Die.

Sir, Sir, Sir!

What's the rush?

Sir, your lady is dying.

She's dying now.

Let's go.

My lady.

My lady!

My lady.

Madam.

Is Fu Sheng's prescription not working?

At first I thought

she had caught a cold,

but she kept having a high fever.

When I wiped her body,

I found that pus and blood were oozing from the place

where Crazy Fu had operated on her.

I began to think

maybe this ties back to Crazy Fu?

You Crazy Fu.

I have been kind to you,

but you want to murder my wife.

If that is the case,

don't blame me for being strange.

Help! Someone has been killed!

Let's save them.
