00:01:32,327 --> 00:01:36,764
(Zhan Zhao Adventures)

2
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:39,872
(Episode 26)

3
00:01:39,992 --> 00:01:41,495
Just now, I recognized you

4
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,797
because you weren't quite like the other beggars.

5
00:01:44,888 --> 00:01:46,094
What's so different about me?

6
00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:47,666
Your gaze.

7
00:01:48,873 --> 00:01:51,942
A real beggar never flinches from the stares of people passing by.

8
00:01:52,912 --> 00:01:54,560
But you kept avoiding their stares on purpose.

9
00:01:54,897 --> 00:01:56,103
That gave you away.

10
00:02:00,025 --> 00:02:01,862
I know why you are looking for me.

11
00:02:03,305 --> 00:02:05,502
But even if I tell you what really happened,

12
00:02:06,743 --> 00:02:08,781
can you really overturn the wrongful case, Officer Zhan?

13
00:02:09,769 --> 00:02:11,606
I've been working here for years.

14
00:02:11,697 --> 00:02:14,165
I know all too well what tricks these officials have up their sleeves.

15
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,610
I'll do everything I can.

16
00:02:20,896 --> 00:02:22,102
Besides,

17
00:02:22,295 --> 00:02:23,501
you know as well as I do

18
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,046
that if they don't get rid of you,

19
00:02:25,552 --> 00:02:26,953
they won't stop coming after you.

20
00:02:28,687 --> 00:02:30,005
If they can't find you,

21
00:02:30,096 --> 00:02:32,910
I'm afraid those people will go after your wife and daughter next.

22
00:02:37,425 --> 00:02:38,631
You...

23
00:02:39,665 --> 00:02:40,871
What are you doing here?

24
00:02:41,255 --> 00:02:43,622
He and Wang Xing both worked on the Jin Xue case.

25
00:02:44,088 --> 00:02:45,294
Wang Xing is already dead.

26
00:02:45,647 --> 00:02:46,892
Other than Magistrate Luo,

27
00:02:47,136 --> 00:02:50,502
only he knows how the case was tried back then.

28
00:02:52,503 --> 00:02:53,709
Do you remember

29
00:02:53,905 --> 00:02:56,502
what was written in the missing file?

30
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:57,799
Of course I remember.

31
00:02:58,199 --> 00:02:59,405
That page

32
00:03:00,383 --> 00:03:02,190
was destroyed by Magistrate Luo himself.

33
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:09,483
The sword mark Lord Zhan mentioned was recorded on that page.

34
00:03:09,672 --> 00:03:10,878
It had a record of

35
00:03:11,223 --> 00:03:13,262
the first interrogation that was done.

36
00:03:13,776 --> 00:03:15,698
That night, I really wasn't there.

37
00:03:15,872 --> 00:03:17,519
I spent the whole night up in the mountains.

38
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:19,106
I was out gathering herbs.

39
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:20,616
Jin Xue Wen explained everything.

40
00:03:20,707 --> 00:03:21,904
He said he was gathering herbs

41
00:03:22,071 --> 00:03:24,661
to treat the epidemic that had broken out in town.

42
00:03:24,944 --> 00:03:28,012
He also said the epidemic was actually caused by poisoning.

43
00:03:28,103 --> 00:03:30,661
He even wrote down the antidote recipe he came up with.

44
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:37,166
Later, Jin Xue Wen was locked up in prison.

45
00:03:37,380 --> 00:03:39,696
The prescription he handed over was never heard of again.

46
00:03:39,832 --> 00:03:41,238
Days kept passing,

47
00:03:41,856 --> 00:03:43,877
but the number of sick people in town just kept growing.

48
00:03:44,152 --> 00:03:45,519
I started to feel something wasn't right.

49
00:03:45,944 --> 00:03:48,261
Right around then, Wang Xing came to find me.

50
00:03:48,380 --> 00:03:50,719
He said that when we were investigating the scene,

51
00:03:50,820 --> 00:03:53,026
the sword marks we found had all been wiped away.

52
00:03:55,655 --> 00:03:57,102
Jin Zhen Ping is starting to get anxious.

53
00:03:57,631 --> 00:03:58,997
Just ignore him.

54
00:03:59,296 --> 00:04:00,502
When the coroner examined the body,

55
00:04:00,688 --> 00:04:03,329
he must've mentioned the sword marks on the victim.

56
00:04:03,607 --> 00:04:05,013
Those wounds weren't fatal,

57
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:07,120
but they definitely weren't made by a dagger.

58
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,787
That's enough to prove there was a third person at the scene.

59
00:04:10,807 --> 00:04:12,654
Such an important clue was erased.

60
00:04:12,889 --> 00:04:15,541
You and Wang Xing must've wanted to tell the magistrate right away.

61
00:04:15,647 --> 00:04:16,853
Yes.

62
00:04:25,536 --> 00:04:26,861
What sword marks?

63
00:04:27,151 --> 00:04:28,357
We never saw any.

64
00:04:29,376 --> 00:04:30,582
After today,

65
00:04:31,215 --> 00:04:32,421
I'll forget about everything.

66
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,045
The two of you

67
00:04:35,017 --> 00:04:36,223
should forget too.

68
00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:41,426
Thank you, Lord Luo.

69
00:05:03,775 --> 00:05:04,981
Thank you, Lord Luo.

70
00:05:05,415 --> 00:05:06,621
I'll drink to you.

71
00:05:06,712 --> 00:05:08,358
I'll drink to you too, Lord Luo.

72
00:05:13,815 --> 00:05:16,381
We wouldn't dare refuse the silver you gave us.

73
00:05:16,472 --> 00:05:18,981
But going against our conscience and framing a good man like this

74
00:05:19,661 --> 00:05:21,141
were eating us alive.

75
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:24,569
We're even more afraid he'll silence us and harm our family someday.

76
00:05:24,752 --> 00:05:26,158
That's why I decided to play it safe.

77
00:05:27,055 --> 00:05:28,541
I hid the case file.

78
00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:40,215
The file isn't complete.

79
00:05:40,980 --> 00:05:44,462
But what's left in it is enough to back up what I just said.

80
00:05:46,536 --> 00:05:48,701
A corrupt official!

81
00:06:04,193 --> 00:06:05,847
That's just how things work in officialdom.

82
00:06:06,093 --> 00:06:09,702
It's like rowing against the current.

83
00:06:11,272 --> 00:06:13,517
It's not like I wasn't just following orders myself.

84
00:06:14,888 --> 00:06:16,694
Back then, the epidemic was raging.

85
00:06:16,881 --> 00:06:18,087
I didn't even dare go outside.

86
00:06:18,553 --> 00:06:19,759
That case

87
00:06:19,896 --> 00:06:21,743
was handled entirely by Qiu Han.

88
00:06:22,192 --> 00:06:23,398
Go and ask him.

89
00:06:23,665 --> 00:06:24,741
Qiu Han?

90
00:06:24,832 --> 00:06:26,069
He's my clerk.

91
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,019
Master!

92
00:06:28,260 --> 00:06:30,143
There are a lot of government soldiers outside.

93
00:06:30,234 --> 00:06:31,520
They've surrounded Qinghui Hall.

94
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:34,988
Commander Shao Ji Zu from Xiangzhou Prefecture

95
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:38,031
has received orders to arrest the corrupted magistrate, Luo Wen Jie,

96
00:06:38,247 --> 00:06:40,445
and take over the Jin Xue Wen case.

97
00:06:40,536 --> 00:06:42,822
All physical and witness evidence

98
00:06:43,096 --> 00:06:44,981
will be escorted to the capital.

99
00:06:45,545 --> 00:06:46,751
What a joke.

100
00:06:47,513 --> 00:06:50,782
I've never heard of the authorities handling a case by taking a hostage.

101
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:53,877
Scoundrel Shao, you never fail to surprise me.

102
00:06:53,968 --> 00:06:55,335
I think you've gotten it wrong.

103
00:06:56,008 --> 00:06:57,454
This isn't a hostage situation.

104
00:06:57,780 --> 00:07:00,147
I'm just worried some outlaw from the martial world

105
00:07:01,271 --> 00:07:02,758
might suddenly show up.

106
00:07:03,367 --> 00:07:04,724
You never know where a blade might land.

107
00:07:04,895 --> 00:07:06,861
I'm just afraid he might get killed.

108
00:07:07,801 --> 00:07:09,007
Step back!

109
00:07:34,660 --> 00:07:37,202
The witnesses who just testified for Jin Xue Wen,

110
00:07:37,293 --> 00:07:38,499
come out on your own.

111
00:07:38,897 --> 00:07:40,542
Don't make me go in and drag you all out.

112
00:07:42,855 --> 00:07:44,142
Whose orders are you acting on

113
00:07:44,736 --> 00:07:45,942
to arrest Luo Wen Jie?

114
00:07:46,112 --> 00:07:48,158
I'm acting under orders from the Court of Judicial Review.

115
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:49,886
By orders of Cheng Hao.

116
00:08:01,185 --> 00:08:02,621
Here is Prince Hui's token.

117
00:08:02,712 --> 00:08:04,822
He personally ordered Zhan Zhao to investigate Luo Wen Jie

118
00:08:04,913 --> 00:08:06,095
for dereliction of duty.

119
00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:08,180
No matter how high the Court of Judicial Review is ranked,

120
00:08:08,256 --> 00:08:09,533
it can't outrank a prince.

121
00:08:09,616 --> 00:08:10,822
A personal order?

122
00:08:11,056 --> 00:08:12,301
When did he give you this order?

123
00:08:12,511 --> 00:08:15,081
Did the prince tell you himself in the carriage?

124
00:08:15,172 --> 00:08:17,678
That's right. The prince is already here.

125
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,702
He is in the carriage. He explained everything to me.

126
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:41,507
The prince isn't here.

127
00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:44,186
So your words mean nothing.

128
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,382
You just parked a carriage here to put on a show.

129
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:50,142
You might fool Luo Wen Jie, but you can't fool me!

130
00:08:53,703 --> 00:08:55,630
No wonder you didn't interfere today.

131
00:08:56,361 --> 00:08:58,007
Turns out you had a backup plan.

132
00:08:58,500 --> 00:08:59,706
Officer Zhan,

133
00:09:01,112 --> 00:09:03,037
since you've already got a carriage ready,

134
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:04,470
you won't mind if I use it

135
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:07,779
to guard the witnesses you worked so hard to gather, right?

136
00:09:08,376 --> 00:09:09,692
- Feng Shao.   - Here.

137
00:09:09,906 --> 00:09:12,763
- Get all the witnesses onto the carriage!   - Roger that!

138
00:09:17,984 --> 00:09:20,273
Anyone who tries to interfere will be killed on the spot!

139
00:09:23,576 --> 00:09:24,981
Everyone, stop!

140
00:09:34,088 --> 00:09:35,735
You little brat,

141
00:09:36,049 --> 00:09:37,934
you really are bullying people with your connections.

142
00:09:38,608 --> 00:09:39,888
You are getting bolder by the minute.

143
00:09:43,912 --> 00:09:46,500
I'm such a useless prince.

144
00:09:46,618 --> 00:09:48,861
Anyone can simply search my carriage.

145
00:09:49,375 --> 00:09:52,142
They even want to use it without my permission.

146
00:09:55,287 --> 00:09:56,915
Greetings, Prince Hui.

147
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:03,506
Enough. No need for formalities.

148
00:10:16,408 --> 00:10:19,621
Just now, you said who was in charge of my brother's case?

149
00:10:19,872 --> 00:10:21,078
Qiu Han.

150
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,078
The clerk from my manor.

151
00:10:36,256 --> 00:10:37,658
You guys, go in with them.

152
00:10:38,114 --> 00:10:39,320
Yes, Your Highness!

153
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,117
Lord Zhan is handling the case.

154
00:10:44,220 --> 00:10:47,143
Let's just all wait here.

155
00:11:23,620 --> 00:11:26,371
Shao, even if you have the official documents,

156
00:11:26,462 --> 00:11:28,148
you shouldn't act so recklessly.

157
00:11:28,728 --> 00:11:30,818
You simply searched my carriage without permission.

158
00:11:30,909 --> 00:11:32,305
If people start thinking

159
00:11:32,396 --> 00:11:34,742
you're disrespecting the royal authority, what then?

160
00:11:38,951 --> 00:11:40,517
Since we've known each other for years,

161
00:11:40,815 --> 00:11:42,542
I'll let it go this time.

162
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:45,067
But in the future, don't make the same mistake again.

163
00:11:46,416 --> 00:11:47,622
Thank you, Your Highness.

164
00:11:57,780 --> 00:11:58,986
Let's go.

165
00:12:02,732 --> 00:12:03,849
Fifth Granduncle,

166
00:12:03,940 --> 00:12:06,180
where does the secret passage behind the Medicine King statue lead?

167
00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:07,620
The apricot grove behind the mountain.

168
00:12:09,791 --> 00:12:11,157
Your Highness, may I borrow a horse?

169
00:12:11,407 --> 00:12:12,613
He won't run away.

170
00:12:13,140 --> 00:12:16,186
Right now, he has something more important to do than running for his life.

171
00:12:19,528 --> 00:12:21,697
Clan leader Jin, everyone,

172
00:12:21,871 --> 00:12:24,261
we disrupted the Suwen Tournament for overturning the case today.

173
00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:25,706
I'm truly sorry.

174
00:12:30,256 --> 00:12:32,822
Your Highness, this place may still be dangerous.

175
00:12:33,140 --> 00:12:36,307
Why not take the magistrate and all the witnesses and come with me?

176
00:12:37,185 --> 00:12:38,391
Alright.

177
00:12:40,711 --> 00:12:43,822
Go faster! If you mess up something this important, I'll cut off your head!

178
00:12:48,055 --> 00:12:49,261
Si Ming!

179
00:12:54,860 --> 00:12:56,020
Prince Hui is really here.

180
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,741
The most important thing right now is the other account book.

181
00:12:58,832 --> 00:13:00,665
If it falls into Zhan Zhao's hands,

182
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:03,465
all the effort the master has poured into the court these years

183
00:13:03,556 --> 00:13:05,362
will go to waste.

184
00:13:09,096 --> 00:13:10,733
No, this is not right. You fell for their trick.

185
00:13:10,824 --> 00:13:12,631
They let you come back on purpose.

186
00:13:13,344 --> 00:13:14,725
Zhan Zhao is catching up!

187
00:13:16,860 --> 00:13:19,380
Let's enter the city first. There are still people in the city we can use.

188
00:13:19,472 --> 00:13:21,842
Your men are no match for Zhan Zhao.

189
00:13:21,933 --> 00:13:23,419
We just need to buy some time.

190
00:13:24,097 --> 00:13:25,303
Giddy-up!

191
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,686
Wait.

192
00:13:59,312 --> 00:14:00,518
There's an ambush.

193
00:15:35,391 --> 00:15:36,597
Shao Ji Zu.

194
00:17:58,857 --> 00:18:00,063
Hero Bai,

195
00:18:00,820 --> 00:18:01,897
you must be tired from fighting.

196
00:18:01,988 --> 00:18:03,704
How about stopping for some tea here?

197
00:18:03,795 --> 00:18:06,261
Commander Shao, you're pretty clever after all.

198
00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:10,021
We can have tea when we get what we want.

199
00:18:20,180 --> 00:18:21,980
They're the Suicide Squad from Zhongxiao Courtyard.

200
00:18:22,056 --> 00:18:25,085
Looks like what drew them in wasn't Nightmare Sky at all.

201
00:18:25,615 --> 00:18:27,021
This person knows Fleeting Speed.

202
00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:29,422
Jiao Chao Gui was probably killed by them.

203
00:18:29,780 --> 00:18:31,941
I just saw people from Wuning Hall heading west of the city.

204
00:18:32,020 --> 00:18:34,665
- That's not the way to the prefecture office.   - The Tang Sect's men?

205
00:18:34,784 --> 00:18:37,942
Now, the most important thing for Si Ming is to destroy the account book.

206
00:18:38,224 --> 00:18:39,623
If he's not heading to the office,

207
00:18:40,104 --> 00:18:41,669
he must be going to his own residence.

208
00:18:42,904 --> 00:18:46,379
Go and protect the evidence. I have guards here. I can take care of myself.

209
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,646
Si Ming got away.

210
00:19:02,184 --> 00:19:03,390
I'll leave them to you.

211
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,841
- Giddy-up!   - Giddy-up!

212
00:19:20,504 --> 00:19:21,710
Do it.

213
00:19:22,696 --> 00:19:23,902
Tang Tian Hao!

214
00:19:36,337 --> 00:19:37,543
Everyone, stop!

215
00:19:38,775 --> 00:19:40,222
I said, stop!

216
00:19:55,223 --> 00:19:58,171
By order of Prince Hui, the prefecture office is now sealed.

217
00:19:58,262 --> 00:20:00,781
Anyone who resists will be arrested immediately!

218
00:20:48,300 --> 00:20:49,905
(In June, the second year of Jingyou,)

219
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,326
(Kang Liang accused Zhuang Yu of abducting a village girl.)

220
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:54,947
(According to the case file,)

221
00:20:55,344 --> 00:20:57,772
(Kang Liang said his daughter fought back fiercely)

222
00:20:57,862 --> 00:20:59,463
(and killed herself on a pillar.)

223
00:20:59,864 --> 00:21:01,509
(But there were no witnesses for this case.)

224
00:21:01,815 --> 00:21:03,378
(Later, Kang Liang withdrew the accusation.)

225
00:21:03,825 --> 00:21:06,324
(This case is linked to the case)

226
00:21:06,420 --> 00:21:08,140
(where Mo Er Lang from Yi County accused)

227
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,095
(Zhuang Duo of abducting a village girl in the fourth year of Jingyou.)

228
00:21:11,569 --> 00:21:13,335
(After checking the household records,)

229
00:21:13,820 --> 00:21:16,506
(Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Duo are cousins.)

230
00:21:17,063 --> 00:21:19,550
(The two ran a brothel together in Yi County.)

231
00:21:19,936 --> 00:21:21,142
(Further investigation showed)

232
00:21:21,420 --> 00:21:23,935
(that three days after Kang Liang withdrew his case,)

233
00:21:24,026 --> 00:21:25,351
(he died falling off a cliff.)

234
00:22:04,403 --> 00:22:05,741
Just leave it there.

235
00:22:14,687 --> 00:22:18,261
These fish eat just as well as the people in this office.

236
00:22:21,592 --> 00:22:22,798
Look at that one.

237
00:22:23,503 --> 00:22:24,709
It's so fat.

238
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:27,300
Let's have Sleek Rat catch a few and roast them for us.

239
00:22:27,380 --> 00:22:28,586
Sounds good.

240
00:22:35,780 --> 00:22:38,300
This is the missing half of the account book from the Zhongxiao Courtyard.

241
00:22:38,394 --> 00:22:39,863
Zhan is sealing the evidence right now.

242
00:22:40,416 --> 00:22:41,622
Alright.

243
00:22:45,256 --> 00:22:47,785
I thought Siming Qiu Han held a high position,

244
00:22:47,876 --> 00:22:50,662
but turns out he was just a clerk who read case files thoroughly.

245
00:22:51,860 --> 00:22:53,738
Just by following the clues in the records,

246
00:22:53,829 --> 00:22:55,235
he could spot wrongful convictions.

247
00:22:56,345 --> 00:22:57,581
Standing behind the magistrate,

248
00:22:57,672 --> 00:23:00,942
he kept all major and minor officials in Xiangzhou under his control.

249
00:23:01,575 --> 00:23:03,061
He really was talented.

250
00:23:03,303 --> 00:23:04,509
It's just a shame

251
00:23:04,743 --> 00:23:06,070
he used his talents in the wrong place.

252
00:23:12,656 --> 00:23:13,862
What's wrong?

253
00:23:14,289 --> 00:23:16,494
Tang is now the head of the Tang Sect.

254
00:23:16,585 --> 00:23:17,991
He was the one who got the order just now

255
00:23:18,761 --> 00:23:20,047
to destroy these account books.

256
00:23:35,713 --> 00:23:36,919
We were so close.

257
00:23:49,625 --> 00:23:50,831
Look.

258
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:14,675
(Wanted)

259
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:00,257
Mr. Xu.

260
00:25:00,348 --> 00:25:01,554
Third.

261
00:25:02,088 --> 00:25:03,413
Did you really do it?

262
00:25:06,353 --> 00:25:08,709
What do you mean? I have no idea what you're talking about.

263
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,476
Are you still going to hide it from me?

264
00:25:10,567 --> 00:25:11,934
I knew back then.

265
00:25:12,399 --> 00:25:15,846
I saw that dagger in your fourth uncle's house.

266
00:25:16,255 --> 00:25:17,589
It should be a pair.

267
00:25:17,816 --> 00:25:21,821
Your fourth uncle gave each of you one because both were good at medicine.

268
00:25:22,481 --> 00:25:23,837
Back in court,

269
00:25:23,940 --> 00:25:25,780
Jin Xue Wen was desperately pleading his innocence.

270
00:25:25,879 --> 00:25:27,085
That was when I thought of it.

271
00:25:27,180 --> 00:25:30,945
I searched your trunk, but found nothing.

272
00:25:32,648 --> 00:25:33,854
Back then,

273
00:25:34,792 --> 00:25:36,078
why didn't you turn me in?

274
00:25:37,580 --> 00:25:40,382
Third, how could I ever turn you in?

275
00:25:40,785 --> 00:25:42,910
You were the only hope for the Jin family.

276
00:25:43,568 --> 00:25:46,541
Without you, there'd be no one left to carry on the Jin family name.

277
00:25:47,216 --> 00:25:48,660
Everything would be lost.

278
00:25:51,385 --> 00:25:52,591
Mr. Xu,

279
00:25:53,719 --> 00:25:54,925
aren't you going to ask me

280
00:25:56,104 --> 00:25:57,630
why I killed that girl?

281
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,007
Why would I need to ask?

282
00:26:03,060 --> 00:26:04,865
You must've done it for the Jin family,

283
00:26:05,183 --> 00:26:07,189
for the greater good.

284
00:26:15,312 --> 00:26:16,518
I did it for the Jin family.

285
00:26:18,688 --> 00:26:20,174
I really had no other choice.

286
00:26:20,736 --> 00:26:22,142
If I hadn't killed them,

287
00:26:22,727 --> 00:26:24,294
the Jin family would be ruined.

288
00:26:24,872 --> 00:26:27,702
But now their restless spirits are back to haunt me.

289
00:26:28,223 --> 00:26:29,590
They won't ever let me go.

290
00:26:31,983 --> 00:26:33,750
That's foolish, Third.

291
00:26:33,983 --> 00:26:35,189
What restless spirits?

292
00:26:35,592 --> 00:26:38,622
Who's haunting you? It's clearly Zhan Zhao and his men.

293
00:26:42,287 --> 00:26:43,493
You're right.

294
00:26:44,096 --> 00:26:45,302
It's Zhan Zhao and his man.

295
00:26:45,655 --> 00:26:47,165
It's Little Seventeenth and his people.

296
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,806
They must've figured out it was me.

297
00:26:50,860 --> 00:26:53,145
But how did they even know about the dagger?

298
00:26:55,513 --> 00:26:57,662
Why didn't you get rid of the dagger back then?

299
00:26:58,176 --> 00:26:59,382
I...

300
00:27:03,975 --> 00:27:05,181
I traded this dagger

301
00:27:06,295 --> 00:27:09,102
with Siming for Jin Xue Wen's plague remedy.

302
00:27:09,375 --> 00:27:12,462
All these years, Siming used that dagger to keep me under his thumb.

303
00:27:14,775 --> 00:27:15,981
It's over.

304
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,339
It's over. Something big is about to happen.

305
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:22,106
Third,

306
00:27:22,544 --> 00:27:23,582
don't panic.

307
00:27:23,809 --> 00:27:25,335
You've been a physician for so many years.

308
00:27:25,784 --> 00:27:27,709
You know a lot of people in the martial world.

309
00:27:27,991 --> 00:27:30,765
Just think of a way to silence them.

310
00:27:31,864 --> 00:27:33,070
I don't believe

311
00:27:33,503 --> 00:27:36,638
there's not a single person who can help you out.

312
00:27:47,007 --> 00:27:50,061
If what happened back then gets exposed,

313
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,327
none of us will get off easy.

314
00:28:17,260 --> 00:28:20,347
Your family's Fourth Lady and my uncle are both gone now.

315
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:22,966
The grudges from the last generation

316
00:28:23,447 --> 00:28:25,613
should be left to rest.

317
00:28:26,460 --> 00:28:27,876
Why did you come to me?

318
00:28:30,303 --> 00:28:32,781
Back then, the Seven-Day Dream poison that the Tang Sect made

319
00:28:33,151 --> 00:28:34,476
killed so many people died.

320
00:28:34,822 --> 00:28:37,021
Do you really believe that just because Tang Ji is dead,

321
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,286
you're off the hook?

322
00:28:42,447 --> 00:28:44,054
With a crime this serious,

323
00:28:44,368 --> 00:28:45,653
if it ever gets exposed,

324
00:28:47,223 --> 00:28:48,812
do you even realize the consequences?

325
00:28:49,983 --> 00:28:51,701
The fate of the Tang Sect and the Jin family

326
00:28:51,792 --> 00:28:54,758
was already tied together 15 years ago.

327
00:28:56,944 --> 00:28:58,470
Do you think you can walk away clean?

328
00:29:00,329 --> 00:29:02,662
Now Zhan Zhao and his men won't stop coming after me.

329
00:29:03,632 --> 00:29:05,923
If I fall into their hands one day,

330
00:29:06,014 --> 00:29:08,411
I'll make sure the Tang Sect goes down with me.

331
00:29:08,502 --> 00:29:09,828
What do you want?

332
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,525
Find a way to get rid of them

333
00:29:15,496 --> 00:29:16,702
for good.

334
00:29:17,152 --> 00:29:20,655
You and my uncle already tried to set them up before, but it didn't work.

335
00:29:21,448 --> 00:29:22,654
What else can I do?

336
00:29:23,256 --> 00:29:26,422
Aren't you close with that girl from the Huo family?

337
00:29:26,935 --> 00:29:28,901
You should be able to find a chance to make a move.

338
00:29:35,952 --> 00:29:37,158
You came to the wrong person.

339
00:29:37,980 --> 00:29:40,160
Ling Long doesn't see me as a friend anymore.

340
00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:45,382
Zhan Zhao already knows I became the sect leader

341
00:29:45,632 --> 00:29:46,924
and started working for Siming.

342
00:29:47,575 --> 00:29:49,581
The Tang Sect is already beyond saving.

343
00:29:50,495 --> 00:29:53,622
Now, even you dare to threaten me.

344
00:30:02,313 --> 00:30:03,587
Besides Siming,

345
00:30:03,660 --> 00:30:06,187
you're the only one who was there when it all happened.

346
00:30:06,727 --> 00:30:07,933
Killing you

347
00:30:08,176 --> 00:30:09,797
would be way easier than killing Zhan Zhao.

348
00:30:09,888 --> 00:30:11,612
Third, watch out! Run!

349
00:30:11,703 --> 00:30:14,242
- Xu... - Go, Third! Go!

350
00:30:15,912 --> 00:30:18,341
Didn't expect you to be such a loyal old servant.

351
00:30:18,719 --> 00:30:20,006
Then I'll start with you.

352
00:30:39,128 --> 00:30:42,181
The way you act now really reminds me of your uncle.

353
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,739
You're no match for me.

354
00:30:45,431 --> 00:30:46,637
I'll let you off today.

355
00:30:49,008 --> 00:30:51,021
I've already blocked two of your major acupoints.

356
00:30:51,615 --> 00:30:54,501
Even if you had all the skills in the world, you couldn't use them now.

357
00:30:57,300 --> 00:30:58,506
Tang Tian Hao!

358
00:30:58,597 --> 00:31:01,821
Do you really want Ling Long to see you in such a sorry state?

359
00:31:27,780 --> 00:31:28,986
Mr. Xu,

360
00:31:30,144 --> 00:31:32,149
the conversation between Tang Tian Hao and Jin Zhen Ping,

361
00:31:33,041 --> 00:31:34,451
you heard it all, right?

362
00:31:37,380 --> 00:31:38,586
I'm begging you.

363
00:31:39,105 --> 00:31:40,471
Take me to see Fifth Granduncle.

364
00:31:41,527 --> 00:31:44,173
Tell him everything you heard.

365
00:31:51,168 --> 00:31:53,015
Jin Zhen Ping left you behind without a second thought.

366
00:31:53,985 --> 00:31:55,191
And you still want to help him?

367
00:31:57,540 --> 00:31:59,226
Now that you know his secret,

368
00:32:00,321 --> 00:32:02,474
do you really think he'll trust you to keep your mouth shut?

369
00:32:02,565 --> 00:32:03,852
Do you think he'll spare you?

370
00:32:06,860 --> 00:32:08,066
Fine.

371
00:32:10,095 --> 00:32:12,702
I'll confess everything to the clan leader right now.

372
00:32:14,408 --> 00:32:15,614
Let's go.

373
00:32:39,176 --> 00:32:42,150
I saved your life, and you want to kill me?

374
00:32:42,288 --> 00:32:43,565
Little Seventeen.

375
00:32:43,656 --> 00:32:46,581
I'm repaying kindness with betrayal. I'm the one who wronged you!

376
00:32:46,783 --> 00:32:48,259
I had no other choice.

377
00:32:48,815 --> 00:32:50,902
If you want to hate someone, hate me!

378
00:32:51,192 --> 00:32:53,981
This is all for the Jin family. Everything I do is for the Jin family.

379
00:32:55,271 --> 00:32:56,477
For the Jin family?

380
00:32:56,729 --> 00:32:59,991
Only Third can inherit the Jin family legacy.

381
00:33:00,128 --> 00:33:02,166
He's the only one who can protect the Jin family.

382
00:33:02,257 --> 00:33:04,981
Jin Xue Wen was frivolous and reckless.

383
00:33:05,072 --> 00:33:06,278
He didn't know anything.

384
00:33:06,369 --> 00:33:09,862
Even if he was talented in medicine,

385
00:33:10,185 --> 00:33:12,310
he was not fit to be the head of the Jin family.

386
00:33:12,672 --> 00:33:16,903
Even when you know your Third is a murderer,

387
00:33:17,161 --> 00:33:18,928
you still think he's better than my brother?

388
00:33:19,097 --> 00:33:21,541
Yes! He's a murderer.

389
00:33:22,682 --> 00:33:23,993
But other than him,

390
00:33:24,154 --> 00:33:26,942
no one else can carry the responsibility of leading the Jin family!

391
00:33:27,033 --> 00:33:29,040
Compared to the Jin family's future,

392
00:33:29,593 --> 00:33:30,799
your brother

393
00:33:31,219 --> 00:33:32,659
didn't matter at all!

394
00:33:36,001 --> 00:33:37,207
Fine.

395
00:33:38,457 --> 00:33:39,663
I get it now.

396
00:33:41,072 --> 00:33:42,412
Go ahead. Do it.

397
00:34:05,216 --> 00:34:08,182
You want to kill me, but you don't dare to watch me die.

398
00:34:09,616 --> 00:34:10,822
Look at me!

399
00:35:21,700 --> 00:35:24,622
Xu An's stab wasn't very deep,

400
00:35:25,274 --> 00:35:26,680
but hit your heart's vital point.

401
00:35:27,928 --> 00:35:29,374
Save your breath.

402
00:35:31,180 --> 00:35:32,866
I know I'm dying.

403
00:35:33,289 --> 00:35:34,495
Little Seventeen.

404
00:35:35,864 --> 00:35:37,070
Please don't blame me.

405
00:35:37,921 --> 00:35:39,245
I did it for the Jin family too.

406
00:35:39,481 --> 00:35:40,687
Jin Zhen Ping.

407
00:35:43,860 --> 00:35:45,546
Let me die knowing the truth.

408
00:35:48,145 --> 00:35:49,990
Why did you kill Lady Huo?

409
00:35:50,577 --> 00:35:52,502
And why did you frame my brother?

410
00:35:53,927 --> 00:35:55,133
Does it even matter?

411
00:35:55,224 --> 00:35:56,430
Even if you don't say it,

412
00:35:57,225 --> 00:35:58,550
I already know why.

413
00:35:59,265 --> 00:36:00,471
You were jealous of him.

414
00:36:00,879 --> 00:36:02,645
He was more talented than you.

415
00:36:04,660 --> 00:36:05,866
I was jealous of him?

416
00:36:06,672 --> 00:36:10,182
I created Qingyin Powder at 14 and started treating patients at 15.

417
00:36:10,273 --> 00:36:12,358
I won first place in the Suwen Tournament at 28.

418
00:36:12,472 --> 00:36:13,799
Why would I be jealous of him?

419
00:36:15,128 --> 00:36:16,614
What a joke.

420
00:36:17,297 --> 00:36:19,565
The antidote for Seven-Day Dream back then

421
00:36:19,656 --> 00:36:21,621
was created by my brother.

422
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:23,538
You couldn't make the cure.

423
00:36:23,629 --> 00:36:25,194
Only my brother could.

424
00:36:25,580 --> 00:36:28,142
You were afraid he'd take your place as the head of the family, right?

425
00:36:28,650 --> 00:36:31,324
So right before the Suwen Tournament, you tried to get rid of him.

426
00:36:31,415 --> 00:36:32,621
Nonsense.

427
00:36:33,617 --> 00:36:35,903
He didn't deserve to compete with me to be the head of the family.

428
00:36:36,594 --> 00:36:37,840
What Seven-Day Dream?

429
00:36:38,340 --> 00:36:39,860
I have no idea what you were talking about.

430
00:36:39,970 --> 00:36:41,488
Stop lying to yourself.

431
00:36:41,579 --> 00:36:44,702
After the Suwen Tournament, rumors were already spreading all over town.

432
00:36:44,793 --> 00:36:46,158
Other than that prescription,

433
00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:48,867
you haven't achieved anything else all these years.

434
00:36:49,257 --> 00:36:52,263
And back then, you could only save those with mild symptoms.

435
00:36:52,340 --> 00:36:54,420
You couldn't do anything to save those with severe symptoms.

436
00:36:54,512 --> 00:36:56,837
Because that prescription was created by my brother!

437
00:36:56,928 --> 00:36:59,861
- Shut up!   - Heaven gave you 15 years.

438
00:37:00,098 --> 00:37:03,302
Fifteen years, and you still can't find the Dawn-Dusk Cocoon.

439
00:37:03,620 --> 00:37:07,014
The Jin family's treasure, Naiheyin Pill, almost got lost because of you.

440
00:37:07,105 --> 00:37:09,734
You'll never reach the heights my brother did back then!

441
00:37:09,825 --> 00:37:11,151
I told you to stop talking!

442
00:37:16,056 --> 00:37:17,262
Why?

443
00:37:18,137 --> 00:37:19,702
Why was he more gifted than I?

444
00:37:19,944 --> 00:37:23,198
Why couldn't I defeat a Casanova like him, no matter how hard I tried?

445
00:37:26,140 --> 00:37:29,301
For 15 years, I've studied medicine day and night.

446
00:37:30,570 --> 00:37:33,450
But in the end, the only thing people remember is a single prescription.

447
00:37:33,541 --> 00:37:36,022
And that prescription was made by Jin Xue Wen.

448
00:37:36,674 --> 00:37:38,280
So, you finally admit it.

449
00:37:40,060 --> 00:37:41,266
It's been 15 years.

450
00:37:42,928 --> 00:37:44,207
I should've accepted it long ago.

451
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,685
That year, an epidemic broke out in town.

452
00:37:48,928 --> 00:37:50,295
I knew very well

453
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,766
whoever could stop this disaster

454
00:37:53,817 --> 00:37:56,661
would be the champion of the Suwen Tournament.

455
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:58,766
I went deep into the mountains

456
00:37:59,536 --> 00:38:00,903
to treat the seriously ill.

457
00:38:01,384 --> 00:38:02,871
But I never expected

458
00:38:03,528 --> 00:38:06,102
I'd stumble upon my fourth aunt meeting secretly with Tang Ji.

459
00:38:06,944 --> 00:38:10,086
What shocked me even more was the epidemic in town

460
00:38:10,745 --> 00:38:13,861
was actually caused by the Seven-Day Dream poison they created.

461
00:38:22,233 --> 00:38:23,987
Tang Ji wanted to kill me to keep me quiet,

462
00:38:24,952 --> 00:38:27,247
- but my fourth aunt stopped him.   - Don't kill him.

463
00:38:28,784 --> 00:38:31,077
My fourth aunt told me about the poison in the Seven-Day Dream,

464
00:38:31,168 --> 00:38:33,077
hoping I could come up with an antidote soon

465
00:38:33,296 --> 00:38:34,741
to stop that disaster.

466
00:38:35,697 --> 00:38:37,054
I also wanted to use this chance

467
00:38:37,145 --> 00:38:38,670
to become the head of the Jin family.

468
00:38:39,384 --> 00:38:41,341
But no matter how hard I tried,

469
00:38:41,432 --> 00:38:42,879
I just couldn't make the antidote.

470
00:38:43,673 --> 00:38:46,301
Xu An told me Jin Xue Wen often went into the mountains,

471
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,206
which made me really suspicious.

472
00:38:48,489 --> 00:38:49,695
So I followed him,

473
00:38:50,057 --> 00:38:52,702
and overheard his conversation with Lady Huo.

474
00:38:53,064 --> 00:38:54,670
So, you were actually right.

475
00:38:55,098 --> 00:38:57,224
This plague really was caused by poison.

476
00:38:57,575 --> 00:39:00,070
Where did you hear about this?

477
00:39:00,288 --> 00:39:02,821
You shouldn't ask any further about this matter.

478
00:39:03,241 --> 00:39:05,773
The less you know, the safer you are.

479
00:39:06,192 --> 00:39:08,271
Now that you say that, I'm even more curious.

480
00:39:08,432 --> 00:39:11,390
You, a young woman, came here all by yourself.

481
00:39:11,809 --> 00:39:14,456
And you are carrying such a huge secret on your shoulders.

482
00:39:15,665 --> 00:39:16,871
Do you know how to save the people?

483
00:39:24,313 --> 00:39:25,519
In all of Xiangzhou,

484
00:39:25,944 --> 00:39:28,351
there are only a handful who can cure this poison.

485
00:39:28,968 --> 00:39:32,136
And as luck would have it, one of them is sitting right in front of you.

486
00:39:32,472 --> 00:39:33,799
Thank you for being willing to help me.

487
00:39:35,761 --> 00:39:37,407
No, I should be the one thanking you.

488
00:39:37,911 --> 00:39:41,741
At first, I acted all high and mighty, pretending to be a medical genius.

489
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,726
But honestly,

490
00:39:44,220 --> 00:39:46,585
I just wanted an excuse to talk to you more.

491
00:39:54,780 --> 00:39:55,986
Later on,

492
00:39:56,321 --> 00:39:57,758
to live up to your trust,

493
00:39:57,849 --> 00:39:59,366
I went into the mountains to treat patients.

494
00:39:59,457 --> 00:40:02,382
I had to tough it out, burning the midnight oil reading medical books.

495
00:40:02,591 --> 00:40:05,246
I actually managed to pick up some of my lost skills after all these years.

496
00:40:05,416 --> 00:40:07,982
So, I should be thanking you.

497
00:40:08,841 --> 00:40:11,047
I'd been struggling for days for that prescription.

498
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,606
But he came up with it so effortlessly.

499
00:40:14,976 --> 00:40:16,582
How could I just stand by and watch him

500
00:40:16,672 --> 00:40:18,672
take my place as the head of the family?

501
00:40:20,392 --> 00:40:21,839
And that Huo girl.

502
00:40:21,945 --> 00:40:24,611
I have no idea how she found out about the secret of Seven-Day Dream.

503
00:40:24,702 --> 00:40:26,468
If she exposed it,

504
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:30,225
the Jin family would become the biggest sinner in Tanxi Town.

505
00:40:30,940 --> 00:40:32,626
So the two of them had to die.

506
00:40:33,129 --> 00:40:34,557
They had to die!

507
00:40:37,900 --> 00:40:39,106
The day I made my move,

508
00:40:41,384 --> 00:40:43,391
I brought the knockout incense to Huaihua Alley.

509
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,542
But I didn't expect someone else would beat me to it and kill her.

510
00:40:50,137 --> 00:40:52,530
The worst part is, they didn't finish the job.

511
00:40:52,657 --> 00:40:54,423
So I had to do it myself.

512
00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:14,626
After killing that girl,

513
00:41:15,072 --> 00:41:17,901
I went next door and found out that Jin Xue Wen wasn't home.

514
00:41:18,193 --> 00:41:19,519
Heaven was on my side.

515
00:41:19,976 --> 00:41:21,222
An idea struck me.

516
00:41:22,500 --> 00:41:25,365
Why not pin the girl's murder on Jin Xue Wen?

517
00:41:25,456 --> 00:41:27,013
Let him suffer a fate worse than death.

518
00:41:27,210 --> 00:41:30,222
Let his little brother live in shame forever.

519
00:41:30,313 --> 00:41:31,519
Wasn't that just perfect?

520
00:41:33,610 --> 00:41:34,687
Little Seventeen.

521
00:41:34,778 --> 00:41:36,623
All these years, you've misunderstood Jin Xue Wen.

522
00:41:36,889 --> 00:41:41,015
When he was on his deathbed, the only thing he cared about was you.

523
00:41:42,841 --> 00:41:45,007
Qiu Han lied to Jin Xue Wen.

524
00:41:45,841 --> 00:41:48,789
He told him the magistrate took the killer's money,

525
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,558
and would definitely sentence him to death.

526
00:41:50,649 --> 00:41:52,365
He was just a lowly clerk,

527
00:41:52,456 --> 00:41:54,090
but he couldn't bear to see Jin Xue Wen

528
00:41:54,181 --> 00:41:55,387
suffer for a crime he didn't commit.

529
00:41:56,140 --> 00:41:59,027
So he promised to help him fake his death and escape.

530
00:41:59,376 --> 00:42:00,574
But there was one condition.

531
00:42:00,665 --> 00:42:02,991
Jin Xue Wen had to write a confession.

532
00:42:03,234 --> 00:42:05,701
That way, he could give the magistrate an explanation.

533
00:42:05,792 --> 00:42:07,638
At first, Jin Xue Wen agreed,

534
00:42:07,864 --> 00:42:09,431
and promised to sign the confession.

535
00:42:09,833 --> 00:42:11,480
But when it came time to sign his name,

536
00:42:12,737 --> 00:42:14,085
he changed his mind.

537
00:42:17,586 --> 00:42:19,392
If I sign this confession, I might live,

538
00:42:20,544 --> 00:42:22,622
but my brother would carry the shame of my crime

539
00:42:22,913 --> 00:42:24,439
for the rest of his life.

540
00:42:25,344 --> 00:42:28,044
I can't let him be shamed because of what I've done.

541
00:42:28,456 --> 00:42:29,662
I'm begging you,

542
00:42:29,984 --> 00:42:31,270
is there any other way?

543
00:42:33,745 --> 00:42:35,186
There's no other way.

544
00:42:36,329 --> 00:42:38,015
Hurry up and finish the confession.

545
00:42:40,193 --> 00:42:42,285
No, I'm not writing it anymore.

546
00:42:51,583 --> 00:42:54,110
Haven't you already finished writing it?

547
00:42:55,496 --> 00:42:56,702
I can just sign

548
00:42:57,376 --> 00:42:59,702
the name for you.

549
00:43:04,881 --> 00:43:06,087
Let go!

550
00:43:06,111 --> 00:43:08,111
