00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:32,228
=Road to Splendor=

2
00:01:32,252 --> 00:01:34,940
(Adapted from the novel of the same name
by Zhi Zhi of Yuewen Group)

3
00:01:34,980 --> 00:01:37,780
=Episode 33=

4
00:01:54,390 --> 00:01:55,960
We don't need to make small talk.

5
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,640
This time, you can be said
get blessings from disaster.

6
00:02:00,030 --> 00:02:01,750
At least less
a strong rival like me.

7
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,110
You've been sarcastic many times
and insulted my background.

8
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:08,870
However, you know
what exactly is a pet girl?

9
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,870
There are five other girls

10
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,240
purchased and entered
to the residence with me.

11
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,480
When I was eight
or nine years,

12
00:02:18,990 --> 00:02:21,520
one of them
because they don't think they're beautiful,

13
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,710
he was sold into service.

14
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,320
Another girl learns to dance.

15
00:02:26,870 --> 00:02:29,640
His body fell ill from hunger
and died before adulthood.

16
00:02:30,870 --> 00:02:34,080
There was another one, he was tortured
by the family he was sent to

17
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:35,920
until miscarriage and death.

18
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,870
Young Madam,

19
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:42,520
You're not actually a person
which is truly vile.

20
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,240
You just want everyone's respect.

21
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:47,430
So,

22
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:50,710
the thing that you think is the most vile

23
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:54,990
just a few little tricks
to embarrass people.

24
00:02:58,710 --> 00:03:00,200
Compared to other sisters,

25
00:03:01,710 --> 00:03:03,080
you could say I'm very lucky.

26
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,390
Miss Fan.

27
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:09,990
On this trip,

28
00:03:11,590 --> 00:03:12,640
take good care of yourself.

29
00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:15,390
Hopefully one day too,

30
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,430
you can let go
from this narrow world.

31
00:03:26,990 --> 00:03:28,480
(No wonder Mrs. Zhao said,)

32
00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:30,960
(who we are when we are born
maybe important,)

33
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,870
(but who do we marry
also important.)

34
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,520
(However, the most important thing is)

35
00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:39,430
(who we become in the end.)

36
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,760
(Hopefully we)

37
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:45,670
(ultimately gaining freedom.)

38
00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:04,920
Madam,

39
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,200
Young Madam did not bring it
gold or any jewelry.

40
00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:11,870
He only brought ten cases of manuscripts
as his treasure.

41
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,520
Maybe

42
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,800
he finally understood.

43
00:04:17,150 --> 00:04:18,470
From the start,

44
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:21,960
he just wants to be looked up to
by others,

45
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,830
instead of really wanting to
that property.

46
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,390
The Yu Family won't be able to
lock him up.

47
00:04:29,470 --> 00:04:31,200
Since he wants freedom,

48
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,470
just let him go.

49
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Cairong, sell all the gold jewelry
that I kept,

50
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:46,590
then swap them all
into paper money.

51
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:48,680
Why?

52
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,030
It's to protect Miss's honor
when outside the residence.

53
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,150
Do not be stupid.

54
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,590
Today is him.

55
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,200
Maybe tomorrow will be my turn.

56
00:05:00,030 --> 00:05:01,470
Replace everything
with gold plated jewelry.

57
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,320
Just enough to maintain appearances.

58
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,470
If a really critical moment comes,

59
00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:07,590
those jewellery
can't save lives.

60
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,200
Only the banknotes really are
could be a lifesaver.

61
00:05:22,910 --> 00:05:23,640
Mr Tian,

62
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:27,830
I had the impudence to ask Mr
submitted a memorandum

63
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,320
before retiring.

64
00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:34,960
Mr. Zhao, I can become an official
for decades

65
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,590
relying on principles
keep yourself safe.

66
00:05:39,150 --> 00:05:42,350
I don't want to interfere
your business is murky.

67
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:47,390
Old case of salt management system
it does have a lot of oddities.

68
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,470
All signs point
to the Yu Family.

69
00:05:51,030 --> 00:05:52,000
If Master speaks,

70
00:05:52,270 --> 00:05:57,080
the effect will be much different
compared to if I were the one talking.

71
00:05:58,150 --> 00:06:00,200
You just need to apply
one memorandum for me.

72
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,390
Let me do it
the rest is hard and dirty work.

73
00:06:03,790 --> 00:06:07,270
This can eradicate corruption,
while filling the state treasury.

74
00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:09,350
Benefits the country and the people.

75
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,880
Of course I'm alone

76
00:06:16,270 --> 00:06:17,390
I do have personal interests.

77
00:06:18,590 --> 00:06:22,350
However, for Mr. Tian,
this could make the name Mr

78
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,560
brilliantly recorded in history.

79
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,320
Mr. Zhao, I am 58 years old.

80
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,710
Soon, I will return home
to enjoy old age.

81
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,710
You're still trying too
sold me a dream.

82
00:06:46,350 --> 00:06:48,120
In this life,

83
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:49,760
the greater your greed,

84
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,640
the greater the loss
that you will bear.

85
00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:56,830
You may desire power,
but don't get attached.

86
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,590
Now, my situation is just right.

87
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,680
Never mind, I'm a bit tired.

88
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,880
I won't hold back
Mr. Zhao took longer.

89
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,710
Young Man, please go home.

90
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:26,900
(One's Virtue Brings Blessings
for the Land of His Birth)

91
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:35,960
How?

92
00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:39,390
He doesn't want power,
not chasing profit,

93
00:07:40,350 --> 00:07:42,350
even brilliant names in history
unable to shake it.

94
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,560
For now, it's really hard to find
a loophole that could persuade him.

95
00:07:49,710 --> 00:07:51,440
Even Buddha

96
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,230
still want to save all beings.

97
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,520
I don't believe in this world,

98
00:07:58,150 --> 00:08:00,270
there really are people
who is able to break all obsessions.

99
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,710
What do you think is the truth?

100
00:08:05,710 --> 00:08:07,200
wanted by the Tian Family?

101
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,680
Grand Secretary Tian
now retired.

102
00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:12,710
For Madam's generation,

103
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,350
of course it doesn't exist anymore
something to worry about.

104
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,760
However, what about after First Miss
reach adulthood?

105
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,560
Women cannot participate
imperial examination and becoming an official.

106
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,200
Madam certainly doesn't want to either
he was confined to the inner residence

107
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,230
and couldn't bear to let it go
busy serving my in-laws every day.

108
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,350
Then, later,
what should he do?

109
00:08:31,710 --> 00:08:32,870
How do you know

110
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,280
that I didn't plan
the future of my first daughter?

111
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:37,590
Madam comes from a prominent family.

112
00:08:37,830 --> 00:08:40,470
You're not after power
or wealth.

113
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:42,830
However, you still struggle

114
00:08:42,830 --> 00:08:44,470
held this intellectual meeting
every month.

115
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,160
I guess, it must be for the sake of paving the way
for your daughter

116
00:08:50,750 --> 00:08:53,440
so that in the future there will be a network of relationships
and the resources you have

117
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,400
can be passed on to him.

118
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:59,630
If I could invite
The Queen Mother was present in person,

119
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,470
isn't it a meeting of scholars
that Madam held

120
00:09:01,590 --> 00:09:02,920
will be even more prestigious

121
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:06,510
and inherited reputation
to your daughter will it get bigger?

122
00:09:09,830 --> 00:09:11,280
Can you really do it?

123
00:09:11,870 --> 00:09:14,110
I will try my best.

124
00:09:23,470 --> 00:09:25,680
Recently, I have gained
a special book.

125
00:09:26,830 --> 00:09:28,310
I brought it on purpose
to present

126
00:09:28,330 --> 00:09:29,080
to the Great Queen Mother.

127
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:31,540
(East Mountain Poetry Review)

128
00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:35,990
This book is collected and compiled
by the Great Scholar Fan Kun.

129
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:37,920
The title is
"East Mountain Poetry Review".

130
00:09:40,990 --> 00:09:43,350
The volume is quite elegant.

131
00:09:43,710 --> 00:09:48,110
The specialty of this book lies
at a joint review of father and daughter.

132
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,870
Black writing on the left
is Fan Kun's note,

133
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,710
while the writing is red
on the right

134
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:56,630
is Fan Yake's view.

135
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,080
I happen to

136
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,350
get this book
at Mrs. Wei's scholar meeting.

137
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,350
After reading it carefully,
I find the content very interesting.

138
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:05,110
That's why,

139
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,920
I deliberately presented it
to the Great Queen Mother.

140
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:08,800
Compared to his father,

141
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:14,280
I actually felt her daughter's gaze
more to my taste.

142
00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:17,110
A woman can
have this kind of talent

143
00:10:17,470 --> 00:10:18,680
it's really not easy.

144
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,560
If the Great Queen Mother is willing to come
with female officials

145
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:25,350
to attend scholarly meetings
in the capital directly

146
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:28,510
and this great event
recorded in the palace diary,

147
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,510
it can be encouraging
women to study,

148
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,160
while leaving behind a beautiful story
about the Great Queen Mother in history.

149
00:10:34,990 --> 00:10:35,990
Therefore,

150
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,160
isn't that a good thing?

151
00:10:43,630 --> 00:10:44,680
Very good.

152
00:10:49,710 --> 00:10:55,800
I heard, women in the northwest region
can ride a horse and do archery,

153
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,280
can also take care of agriculture
and preparing military supplies.

154
00:11:01,510 --> 00:11:05,400
In this capital city, there really aren't any
view of the Gobi Desert,

155
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,990
but still have
the elegance of its own culture.

156
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:14,510
Today, I purposely left the palace
to have a look

157
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:17,710
how about the noble ladies
in the capital

158
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:22,590
usually fill their time.

159
00:11:22,830 --> 00:11:25,400
- Greetings to the Great Queen Mother.
- Greetings to the Great Queen Mother.

160
00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:27,400
No need for formalities.

161
00:11:27,710 --> 00:11:30,040
- Thank you, Grand Queen Mother.
- Thank you, Grand Queen Mother.

162
00:11:31,630 --> 00:11:32,960
Permission to answer, Queen Mother Agung.

163
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:36,320
The capital is a gathering place
culture and science.

164
00:11:36,590 --> 00:11:40,350
The women of the capital
I'm not really good at horse riding or archery.

165
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:42,750
but they often do
reciting poetry, painting,

166
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,280
holding intellectual meetings,
and formed a poetry association.

167
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:46,960
Mrs. Tian,

168
00:11:47,470 --> 00:11:50,680
so this is a meeting of scholars
that you organize?

169
00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:56,800
Permission to answer, Queen Mother Agung.
I'm just providing a place.

170
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,800
All thanks to the support of the madams.

171
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,230
Very good.

172
00:12:07,470 --> 00:12:09,560
Hurry up and show me around
to another place.

173
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,230
This way, please.

174
00:12:12,750 --> 00:12:14,230
In spring
seventh year of the Hongzhi Era,

175
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:15,980
The Great Queen Mother came out of the palace
and attend

176
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,630
scholar meeting
Mrs. Tian of the Wei Family.

177
00:12:17,830 --> 00:12:20,320
He was very happy
and praised him directly.

178
00:12:20,590 --> 00:12:22,200
Even the Great Queen Mother
willing to attend.

179
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,990
Mrs. Wei really
get great honor.

180
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,110
Madam Zhao was indeed very astute.

181
00:12:26,590 --> 00:12:27,470
Stay cool.

182
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:29,230
For the matter that Mr. Zhao wants,

183
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,470
I will persuade my father
to step in.

184
00:12:38,180 --> 00:12:41,340
(Xie's Jewelry Store)

185
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,280
The quality of these pearls is quite good.

186
00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:53,990
The value is estimated
10,000 tahil per item.

187
00:12:54,590 --> 00:12:55,830
- Ten thousand years?
- Ten thousand years?

188
00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:57,200
Truly a rare treasure.

189
00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:59,230
It's really rare to find.

190
00:12:59,510 --> 00:13:02,200
Who can?
pay such a high price?

191
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,230
However, if you can find another one

192
00:13:05,230 --> 00:13:07,590
with the same quality
to make a pair,

193
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,350
the value is estimated
could rise at least three times.

194
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,110
- Triples?
- Triples?

195
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,110
So, if there is a similar pearl
at your residence,

196
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,990
Xie's Tavern was willing to buy it
double the market price.

197
00:13:20,990 --> 00:13:22,440
Triples.

198
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,870
(Yu)
It's really beautiful.

199
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,870
This... Isn't this the box that was brought
by Grand Secretary Yu

200
00:13:27,870 --> 00:13:29,040
when you come to apologize in advance?

201
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:30,350
Never mind

202
00:13:30,350 --> 00:13:32,630
Grand Secretary Yu gave it
to the Xie Tavern keeper?

203
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,400
Grand Secretary Yu always confessed
live clean and honest.

204
00:13:35,510 --> 00:13:38,320
Unexpectedly, so giving a gift,
the goods are actually this luxurious.

205
00:13:38,630 --> 00:13:39,680
Correct.

206
00:13:40,260 --> 00:13:41,960
(Yu Residence)

207
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,750
If we deny it now
that it is not our gift,

208
00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:44,920
no one will believe it.

209
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:46,470
Now, the entire capital
already talked about it.

210
00:13:46,710 --> 00:13:49,710
It was said that the Yu Family was very rich
and generous in giving gifts.

211
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:52,440
Mrs. Fu's trick to change
the falsehood becomes as if it were real

212
00:13:52,630 --> 00:13:54,080
really cruel.

213
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:57,440
From the start, he never said
that it was a gift from the Yu Family.

214
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,230
Then, rumors spread
all over the city.

215
00:14:00,230 --> 00:14:02,630
This actually made the Yu Family
can't explain anything.

216
00:14:02,630 --> 00:14:04,350
He wore the gift I gave him
to build a name

217
00:14:04,350 --> 00:14:05,590
as a tool to slander us.

218
00:14:05,830 --> 00:14:08,350
This is not revenge,
but rather a provocation.

219
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,800
It's been there from the start
I suggest Mr. Big

220
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,590
so don't give an empty box.

221
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,080
Now, is not the time
quipped, my wife.

222
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:23,750
Now, the entire capital is temperate
watching over the Yu Family

223
00:14:23,870 --> 00:14:25,350
and talk about how rich we are.

224
00:14:25,470 --> 00:14:29,590
Normally, the Emperor might
just close one eye.

225
00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:31,230
However, now,
the palace was short of money.

226
00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:32,470
Mrs. Fu's actions

227
00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:35,710
is the same as pushing
The Yu family became an easy target.

228
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:37,710
That Zhao Ling too.

229
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,470
I don't know what method he used
to persuade that Tian.

230
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,990
I'm about to retire, I should
he just lives to enjoy his old age.

231
00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:44,990
However, before leaving,

232
00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:46,230
he instead submitted
memorandum to frame me.

233
00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:48,440
He wanted to establish a Salt Tax Bureau.

234
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,230
Just the handover process
took half a year.

235
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,470
Later, the old man
I've gone home to fish.

236
00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:57,040
I heard, Grand Secretary Tian

237
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,590
deliberately included
in the draft regulations

238
00:14:58,590 --> 00:14:59,710
that will ask
people from the Six Ministries.

239
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,110
He wants to get rid of
all our people.

240
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,040
That's right, my wife.

241
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,470
Don't blame me for being restless.

242
00:15:08,230 --> 00:15:10,400
That's the system's financial records
salt trade handed over,

243
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,800
all our games...

244
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,280
Anyway...

245
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,080
Anyway, all that bookkeeping is problematic
continued to be closely monitored by Zhao Ling.

246
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,160
Then, Mrs. Fu also came back
create problems like this.

247
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,350
I've read the draft regulations
salt trading system

248
00:15:32,350 --> 00:15:33,160
drafted by Grand Secretary Tian.

249
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,110
Very good.

250
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,160
The most important thing in it is

251
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,280
selection of people
to enter the Salt Tax Bureau.

252
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,870
Emperor, I am willing to volunteer

253
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,110
to lead this matter.

254
00:15:50,870 --> 00:15:52,710
Recently,
there are some rumors in the capital.

255
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,230
I've heard that too.

256
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,200
Official Yu had better settle things first
your family bookkeeping,

257
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,920
just taking care of the bookkeeping
this salt trading system.

258
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,990
I leave this matter to you
to Official Zhao.

259
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,200
Servant obeys the commandment.

260
00:16:10,110 --> 00:16:13,280
In this world, the easiest
manipulated is the human heart.

261
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,350
Fu Tingyun wants to make
The Yu family as everyone's target.

262
00:16:17,230 --> 00:16:20,160
Zhao Ling wanted to place
own people at the Salt Tax Bureau.

263
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,590
If so, we might as well use it

264
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,990
tactics to remove the source of the problem
from the roots.

265
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:45,400
(Yan Merchant Association)

266
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,400
Lord Jin, if the palace is really...
established the Salt Tax Bureau,

267
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,440
later a salt business permit
must be purchased directly

268
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,870
with money from the Ministry of Finance.

269
00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:54,280
Won't it become even more dependent?
on connections and protectors?

270
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,080
We have Mr. Jin.

271
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,510
Mr. Jin, give us certainty.

272
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,080
Who will be our future protector?
still surnamed Zhao?

273
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,790
Mr. Zhao has been promoted.

274
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:06,680
Now, he is
third rank official.

275
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,960
Mr. Jin, are you sure you can still do it
speak in front of Mr. Zhao?

276
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,440
Mr. Jin, give us certainty.

277
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,360
What is this salt business?
can we still run it?

278
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:15,310
That's right, Mr. Jin.

279
00:17:15,310 --> 00:17:17,230
Dozens of family members
and our workers

280
00:17:17,230 --> 00:17:18,270
everything depends on this effort.

281
00:17:18,270 --> 00:17:21,440
- Mr Jin.
- Mr. Jin continues.

282
00:17:21,550 --> 00:17:22,550
There is an honored guest

283
00:17:22,550 --> 00:17:24,270
who invites you to tea
at Qingfeng Pavilion.

284
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,680
I, Jin Yuanbao,
pay respects to Madam Yu.

285
00:17:52,710 --> 00:17:55,360
I don't know Grand Secretary Yu
come directly.

286
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,360
I feel very honored.

287
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,840
Tavern Keeper Jin,
no need to salute.

288
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,230
Get up.

289
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,200
- Let's sit down and talk.
- Sir.

290
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,400
Sit down.

291
00:18:09,710 --> 00:18:13,160
Today, I invite you
because there is a good thing.

292
00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:15,710
You know too

293
00:18:15,790 --> 00:18:18,200
that since its formation
Salt Tax Bureau,

294
00:18:18,790 --> 00:18:20,310
salt business permits throughout the country

295
00:18:21,030 --> 00:18:23,310
must be obtained
by paying with money.

296
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,310
As long as Tavern Keeper Jin
willing to be a witness

297
00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:32,310
and appointed Zhao Ling once
trading illegal salt,

298
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,550
as well as revealing that he was in cahoots
and oppressed the salt traders,

299
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,400
I guarantee it

300
00:18:40,790 --> 00:18:42,710
all salt business permits

301
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,470
throughout the northwest region
will be yours.

302
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,960
From then on,

303
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,600
you will become a salt trader
largest in the northwest region.

304
00:18:54,990 --> 00:18:59,160
Sir... Sir, this...
this really isn't allowed.

305
00:19:00,550 --> 00:19:02,310
That's a false accusation.

306
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,790
If you slander a palace official,
I could be caned.

307
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,270
In addition, in cases of conspiracy
officials and merchants,

308
00:19:08,270 --> 00:19:10,470
traffickers will also be arrested
and punished.

309
00:19:10,790 --> 00:19:11,470
Should not.

310
00:19:11,470 --> 00:19:14,710
In the past, you used to trade
with Zhao Ling.

311
00:19:15,030 --> 00:19:17,750
You've probably seen it
Zhao Family's land title deed

312
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:20,070
and never saw his personal stamp.

313
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,120
All of this can be used as evidence.

314
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,360
Make sure this is the case
become an indisputable matter.

315
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,600
That way, it's no longer
false accusations.

316
00:19:27,790 --> 00:19:30,920
Second, you don't have to bear it
at your own risk.

317
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,230
Just choose one of your business partners
to bear it.

318
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,600
Madam, Sir, maybe you don't know yet.

319
00:19:43,230 --> 00:19:47,160
After all, it's me and Mr. Zhao
are like siblings.

320
00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:48,310
This problem...

321
00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:50,470
Really?

322
00:19:51,070 --> 00:19:53,270
If so, why weren't you invited
to the celebration party?

323
00:19:55,470 --> 00:19:57,120
Between officials and merchants,

324
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,440
how is that possible
is there true friendship?

325
00:20:02,470 --> 00:20:03,750
You two

326
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,400
have long taken a different path.

327
00:20:16,030 --> 00:20:17,120
Stay cool.

328
00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:19,680
If this thing is successful,

329
00:20:20,510 --> 00:20:21,600
Zhao Ling

330
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,360
at most they will only be demoted
and exiled to the region.

331
00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:25,840
Meanwhile,

332
00:20:25,990 --> 00:20:29,470
you will get real benefits
in the form of gold and silver.

333
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:34,710
I heard, there's someone
who was called Tavern Keeper Ye

334
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:37,600
secretly often complain about you.

335
00:20:48,030 --> 00:20:48,640
Mr Jin.

336
00:20:48,990 --> 00:20:49,510
Are you looking for me?

337
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,400
What did you call me?

338
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:51,960
Mr Jin.

339
00:20:54,030 --> 00:20:54,880
Call Big Brother.

340
00:20:55,550 --> 00:20:56,230
Brother Yuanbao.

341
00:20:56,510 --> 00:20:59,680
Remember, whenever it is,
I am your Brother Yuanbao.

342
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,440
I called you this time
because I want to ask for your help.

343
00:21:06,030 --> 00:21:07,550
A few more days is

344
00:21:07,550 --> 00:21:08,920
death memorial ceremony
Brother Yucheng.

345
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,270
I've made it
an incense burner of pure gold.

346
00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:13,840
I don't believe it
if you hand it over to someone else.

347
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:15,400
You're still young
and your steps are more agile.

348
00:21:15,470 --> 00:21:17,120
Instead I go to Yuzhou
to get the goods.

349
00:21:17,550 --> 00:21:20,990
Pure gold?
Are you willing to spend that much money?

350
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:24,510
This is for Brother Yucheng.

351
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,160
Our own brothers.

352
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:30,510
Don't worry, there will be time.

353
00:21:30,790 --> 00:21:33,070
Before the wedding day,
you must have come back.

354
00:21:33,070 --> 00:21:34,600
Fine, leave it to me.

355
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,640
Even though I don't have parents,

356
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:40,400
Luckily I have you guys
as my older brother.

357
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:42,400
You all have been so kind to me.

358
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:49,880
Previously, Ninth Lord
had time to talk about you.

359
00:21:50,750 --> 00:21:52,440
He said, you've been around a long time
didn't visit.

360
00:21:56,510 --> 00:21:57,230
I am busy.

361
00:21:57,790 --> 00:21:59,880
Salt reform is imminent.
The situation is still unclear.

362
00:22:00,270 --> 00:22:01,440
It's best not to bother
Ninth Lord.

363
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:02,990
If that's the case, I'll take my leave first,
Brother Yuanbao.

364
00:22:02,990 --> 00:22:03,440
Go.

365
00:22:05,070 --> 00:22:05,920
Slowly.

366
00:22:10,550 --> 00:22:12,270
Mr Judge!

367
00:22:12,750 --> 00:22:15,840
I, Jin Yuanbao, sue

368
00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:17,840
(Chengqian Prefectural Government Bureau)
General Zhaoyong, Zhao Ling,

369
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:20,790
because he colluded with traders
and buying and selling illegal salt!

370
00:22:21,270 --> 00:22:23,880
Salt traders like us are forced
giving up profits and bribes.

371
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,400
In all money transaction records

372
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,990
as well as a letter of ownership
residence and land,

373
00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:30,600
has his personal stamp.

374
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,270
Emperor,

375
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,500
(Shen Congsi serves until death)
since doing it

376
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,600
(Shen Congsi serves until death)
salt reform trial in Anzhou,

377
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,880
state treasury income
has increased by 200,000 a year.

378
00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:41,160
This is bookkeeping
submitted by local officials

379
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,160
along with success reports.

380
00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:47,500
(Memorandum: Success Report
Anzhou Salt New Policy)

381
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:49,140
(Memorandum: Zhao Ling, Important Official
The Salt affair deceived the Emperor,)

382
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,100
(embezzling funds, and extorting bribes)

383
00:22:53,820 --> 00:22:54,870
(Memorandum: Shen Congsi,
Salt Control Inspector)

384
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:55,700
(died due to illness while in office)

385
00:23:00,070 --> 00:23:03,120
I am very satisfied with the handling of affairs
by the Grand Secretary.

386
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:08,600
Emperor, there is one more thing
that I want to report.

387
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:13,230
Now, there are salt traders
who sued Zhao Ling

388
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,440
that he wasn't just conspiring
with traders,

389
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,710
coercing and extorting bribes,

390
00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:21,600
even that person comes from among the people
illegal salt traders.

391
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,600
However, he covered up his past
and infiltrate the military,

392
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,880
and deceived the Emperor.

393
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,400
Now, there is a land ownership certificate

394
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,880
with Zhao Ling's personal seal
as proof.

395
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,510
Please the Emperor check it.

396
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,360
Emperor, now an important court official
apparently faked his identity.

397
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,680
This is a serious crime
for deceiving the Emperor.

398
00:23:45,070 --> 00:23:47,790
I don't know if he's that great
to be able to deceive everyone

399
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,790
or someone did it on purpose
protect and let it be.

400
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,680
Please the Emperor investigate it.

401
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,920
Emperor, new salt trading system
just tested in Anzhou,

402
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,840
but it has increased income
amounting to 200,000 per year.

403
00:23:59,990 --> 00:24:02,750
If implemented throughout the country,
the extra millions are not a problem.

404
00:24:02,990 --> 00:24:05,640
However, now people are in charge
salt management system

405
00:24:05,710 --> 00:24:08,400
actually illegal salt traders
who deceived the Emperor.

406
00:24:08,990 --> 00:24:10,750
How can people believe?

407
00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:13,510
Then, what is the salt management system?
Can this new one continue to be implemented?

408
00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:16,960
Emperor.

409
00:24:18,070 --> 00:24:19,200
According to the servant,

410
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,360
salt reform must
temporarily stopped

411
00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:25,990
and this case was investigated thoroughly.

412
00:24:26,550 --> 00:24:29,070
Decreased state treasury
just a small thing.

413
00:24:29,070 --> 00:24:30,030
However, governance

414
00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:32,750
must continue to be enforced.

415
00:24:38,510 --> 00:24:39,990
Salt reform concerns the foundations of the state

416
00:24:40,230 --> 00:24:41,920
so it can't be stopped
just because of one person.

417
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,200
Convey my orders.

418
00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:44,920
Salt management system affairs

419
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,270
taken over by the Ministry of Finance
for a while.

420
00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:47,470
Zhao Ling

421
00:24:50,510 --> 00:24:51,920
temporarily removed from office
and put in prison.

422
00:24:52,510 --> 00:24:53,310
Investigate.

423
00:24:53,470 --> 00:24:55,200
Investigate him thoroughly.

424
00:24:55,790 --> 00:24:57,550
Please the Emperor reconsider.

425
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,360
- Wise emperor!
- Wise emperor!

426
00:25:24,710 --> 00:25:25,230
Search!

427
00:25:25,230 --> 00:25:26,900
(Xie Residence)

428
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:35,230
Sir.

429
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,510
Please sir give a little leeway.

430
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,470
Woman's family at residence
is an old acquaintance of our Young Master.

431
00:25:49,070 --> 00:25:51,680
Please sir take good care of it.

432
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,070
Can't.

433
00:25:54,990 --> 00:25:57,880
Young Master Yu,
it's not that I don't know myself.

434
00:25:57,990 --> 00:26:00,750
It is just,
regarding the confiscation of the Zhao Residence,

435
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,960
Your father has been around for a long time
sent someone to remind us.

436
00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:09,200
This money from Young Master Yu
I really don't dare to accept it.

437
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,070
Fast!

438
00:26:22,030 --> 00:26:22,680
Don't fight!

439
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:23,960
Squat!

440
00:26:24,550 --> 00:26:26,310
- Quickly squat!
- Come on, squat!

441
00:26:31,270 --> 00:26:33,880
Madam, we've sent a letter
to Mrs. Wang.

442
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:34,990
Why isn't he here yet?

443
00:26:34,990 --> 00:26:35,470
Do not panic.

444
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,750
Wait until they come.
At least we can still survive.

445
00:26:38,750 --> 00:26:39,840
- Squat!
- Everyone squat!

446
00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:41,230
- Oh my!
- Here!

447
00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:42,750
- Sanniang!
- You country parasite!

448
00:26:42,990 --> 00:26:44,710
No need to pretend to be
such a loyal master and servant.

449
00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:46,710
Did you know that salt
that you eat every day

450
00:26:47,270 --> 00:26:49,440
polluted by dirty money
this Zhao Family husband and wife?

451
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,710
You're slandering!

452
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,790
You guys haven't even investigated yet,
but already called us parasites.

453
00:26:53,790 --> 00:26:55,960
Our lady's family of origin is
Xie Family from Jiangnan!

454
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,440
It's only natural that he has
personal property.

455
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,440
- Correct.
- Correct!

456
00:26:59,070 --> 00:27:00,310
This case has not yet been decided.

457
00:27:00,750 --> 00:27:02,120
We just work together
in investigation,

458
00:27:02,230 --> 00:27:03,470
not a convict.

459
00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:05,200
As long as there is no Emperor's decree
who declared us guilty,

460
00:27:05,510 --> 00:27:07,230
Sir, don't make things difficult for us here.

461
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,790
These clothes were also bought
from the proceeds of blackmailing the people.

462
00:27:08,790 --> 00:27:11,230
- Let go!
- What are you doing?

463
00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:14,840
Don't touch our mistress!
Why are you guys so cruel?

464
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,440
You want to destroy
our lady's honor!

465
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,840
- I will fight you!
- Sanniang!

466
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:19,440
Mrs!

467
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:20,600
Stop it!

468
00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:26,400
I suggest you act
according to law.

469
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,990
If you want to take advantage of the chaos
to oppress women,

470
00:27:29,070 --> 00:27:30,270
You have to get past us first.

471
00:27:30,470 --> 00:27:31,880
If you want to confiscate property, go ahead.

472
00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:33,470
However, did the Emperor ever
issued a decree

473
00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:36,070
so that you oppress women's families,
destroying and looting?

474
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,230
Has the Emperor ever ordered you to
taking off people's clothes in public?

475
00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:40,120
- Correct!
- Correct!

476
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:41,070
Who told you?

477
00:27:41,310 --> 00:27:42,030
You too.

478
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,270
If your mother finds out that you...
bullying women like this outside,

479
00:27:45,270 --> 00:27:46,750
he will definitely rise from the coffin!

480
00:27:46,750 --> 00:27:47,960
- You...
- What?

481
00:27:48,030 --> 00:27:49,960
You all look like
good people,

482
00:27:50,030 --> 00:27:51,600
but instead did it
despicable acts like this.

483
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,600
If it's great,
Go to the border and fight the enemy.

484
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,470
Just show off your power here,
what kind of men are you?

485
00:27:55,550 --> 00:27:56,640
- Correct!
- Correct!

486
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,550
- What kind of men are you guys?
- Already!

487
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:03,640
Just do it according to the rules.

488
00:28:04,310 --> 00:28:06,360
Mrs. Fu,
remove all your hair jewelry.

489
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,440
Come with us.

490
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:10,710
The other servants
will be detained according to law

491
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:11,750
and waiting for the decision!

492
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:15,840
Mrs.

493
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,200
- It doesn't matter.
- Road!

494
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:19,470
Sanniang.

495
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,070
- Mrs.
- Mrs.

496
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,440
You're okay, right?

497
00:28:35,070 --> 00:28:36,510
Thanks to Mrs

498
00:28:37,070 --> 00:28:39,680
and all sisters
who helped me in difficult times.

499
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,880
Don't say things like that,
later you will feel like a stranger.

500
00:28:42,030 --> 00:28:44,510
Just calm down.
Leave your residence matters to us.

501
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,030
You are all bound by a life contract.
You shouldn't have been dragged along.

502
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:58,880
Disaster today

503
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,790
happened because of me and Lord Ninth
has dragged you along.

504
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,160
However, just calm down.

505
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,360
As long as we haven't been found guilty,

506
00:29:09,070 --> 00:29:11,200
no one dares
sell you as you wish.

507
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,440
For now,

508
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:16,310
you do have to suffer a little.

509
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,120
However, when the truth is revealed later,

510
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,840
I will definitely provide justice
to all of you!

511
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,230
Madam, don't say things like that.

512
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,600
Over the years,

513
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,270
we followed Mrs
and Lord Ninth.

514
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,680
You have treated us well
like family.

515
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,400
Never once
you speak rudely to us

516
00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:36,880
and our monthly wages
never lacking in the slightest.

517
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,600
Today, I am useless

518
00:29:39,230 --> 00:29:42,710
so they are unable to help their employers
and clear Madam's good name.

519
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,230
However, we
will never betray.

520
00:29:45,230 --> 00:29:47,160
We will wait for your return.
We won't leave!

521
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,510
- Correct.
- That's right, Madam.

522
00:29:48,510 --> 00:29:49,510
- Yes.
- Mrs.

523
00:29:49,510 --> 00:29:50,840
We will wait
You and Ninth Lord

524
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,680
clear your good name
and return safely.

525
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:54,840
We will wait for your return!

526
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,960
- We will wait for your return.
- We are waiting for your return.

527
00:30:03,180 --> 00:30:05,260
(Xie Residence)

528
00:30:13,030 --> 00:30:14,880
It's snowing.

529
00:30:18,030 --> 00:30:19,680
- There must be great injustice.
- Correct.

530
00:30:41,580 --> 00:30:43,980
(Sealed by the Law Enforcement Bureau
Palace Troop)

531
00:30:47,310 --> 00:30:48,120
Ninth Master Zhao,

532
00:30:48,990 --> 00:30:50,440
someone left me a message.

533
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,990
Your wife has too
thrown into prison.

534
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,510
Three animal offerings,
spirit banknotes,

535
00:31:14,510 --> 00:31:16,120
pear blossom white wine
Sis Yucheng's favorite.

536
00:31:16,550 --> 00:31:16,960
It's complete.

537
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,270
Look, why is this place sealed?

538
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:20,920
Look no further. Go, hurry.

539
00:31:26,820 --> 00:31:29,860
(Xie Residence)

540
00:31:44,510 --> 00:31:45,880
Madam, the person has been brought here.

541
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,680
Madam, what actually happened?

542
00:31:50,510 --> 00:31:52,750
Jin Yuanbao submitted
report to the palace

543
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,710
and sued Zhao Ling
for three major crimes.

544
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:55,920
First,

545
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,640
conspired with Tavern Keeper Ye
to sell illegal salt.

546
00:31:58,710 --> 00:32:01,880
Second, forcing salt traders
give up half the profits

547
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:02,750
as kickback money.

548
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:03,750
Third,

549
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,230
he exposed Zhao Ling's past
as an illegal salt trader.

550
00:32:09,510 --> 00:32:11,230
He also handed over
land ownership certificate

551
00:32:11,230 --> 00:32:12,680
which has a personal stamp
Zhao Ling as proof.

552
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,880
Truth and lies
mixed together

553
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:15,880
so it's hard to refute.

554
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,510
Impossible!

555
00:32:17,070 --> 00:32:18,790
In fact, Brother Yuanbao
who told me to go to Yuzhou

556
00:32:19,230 --> 00:32:20,640
to take offerings
for Sis Yucheng

557
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,790
so I left the capital.

558
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,230
How could he betray
Ninth Master?

559
00:32:25,070 --> 00:32:25,750
Sen,

560
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,030
humans can change.

561
00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:40,920
This Qimei stick was repaired by myself
by Mr. Zhao for you.

562
00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:43,510
Initially, he wanted to
give it to you

563
00:32:43,510 --> 00:32:44,200
at your wedding to my second daughter.

564
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,440
Unfortunately, now
he's been locked up in prison.

565
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,680
This thing

566
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,710
you'd better accept it first.

567
00:33:13,310 --> 00:33:15,510
Madam, can you save
Ninth Master?

568
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,920
I will definitely return this favor
many times over.

569
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:21,270
Get up.

570
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,230
Our master is trying to help him.

571
00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:28,600
Even in the worst circumstances,

572
00:33:29,270 --> 00:33:30,840
Wang Family
will try to protect you.

573
00:33:31,750 --> 00:33:34,470
Your marriage to my second daughter
won't change.

574
00:33:42,310 --> 00:33:43,550
How did it come to this?

575
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,760
Yu...

576
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:19,400
Tavern Keeper Jin,
sorry for making you wait so long.

577
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:21,630
Where is the Grand Secretary?

578
00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:23,880
Where is the Grand Secretary?

579
00:34:24,110 --> 00:34:25,510
Mr. Big is busy
with government affairs

580
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,470
so it really can't come.

581
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,280
If there is a need,
you can talk to me.

582
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,400
I came this time
because of the Zhao Family's affairs.

583
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,400
The Grand Secretary has promised me

584
00:34:40,470 --> 00:34:43,800
that at worst
will only be exiled to the border.

585
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,630
However, why is it ending now?

586
00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:48,070
by being locked up in prison
and his property confiscated?

587
00:34:50,510 --> 00:34:53,630
There are few things like this tea.

588
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,070
After swallowing,
can it still be vomited again?

589
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:06,320
Tavern Keeper Jin,

590
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,550
the tea is cold.

591
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:35,440
Mr. Big.

592
00:35:53,510 --> 00:35:54,510
Sen has arrived.

593
00:36:01,110 --> 00:36:03,550
Offerings to Brother Yucheng
are you ready?

594
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:07,920
Why did you lie to me?

595
00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:09,440
Lie to what?

596
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,840
You sent me to Yuzhou on purpose.

597
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,840
Say! Why did you
betray the Ninth Lord?

598
00:36:14,110 --> 00:36:15,280
What's betraying?
Ninth Master?

599
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,360
Who did you hear that nonsense from?

600
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,440
I'm no longer a child!
I'm already 18 years old!

601
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,030
Why one by one of you
experiencing disaster,

602
00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:21,920
but no one told me?

603
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:22,720
Why?

604
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,110
Ninth Master got in the way
there are too many people on the street.

605
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,190
Even if it's not me
who reported it,

606
00:36:34,670 --> 00:36:36,590
other people will too.

607
00:36:37,150 --> 00:36:38,800
If other people can
attain this wealth,

608
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,590
why not me?

609
00:36:43,470 --> 00:36:45,240
Again because of money.

610
00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:46,990
That living person

611
00:36:48,590 --> 00:36:50,360
If not for money, then for what?

612
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,760
If you ever live
rely on yourself for just one day,

613
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:03,960
you wouldn't ask that.

614
00:37:13,510 --> 00:37:15,550
Ever since Ninth Lord entered the capital,

615
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,030
has he ever considered me?
as brothers?

616
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,400
He humiliated me
in front of his men.

617
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,760
He... Sen, what do you want to do?

618
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,630
Withdraw your lawsuit!

619
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,550
I've gone to see
Grand Secretary Yu.

620
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,510
He doesn't want to see me now.

621
00:37:34,510 --> 00:37:37,920
When I'm useful,
they treat me like a human being.

622
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,590
When I'm no longer useful,

623
00:37:39,590 --> 00:37:41,440
who still thinks of me
as humans?

624
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,800
It's all the same.

625
00:37:47,990 --> 00:37:49,470
Sen, take a good look.

626
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,720
Humans prey on humans.
That's how this world is!

627
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:07,800
I told you to go to Yuzhou

628
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,320
because I still remember
our brotherhood.

629
00:38:13,150 --> 00:38:14,670
If it weren't for me,

630
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:17,590
now you have too
locked up in the imperial prison!

631
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,590
Since childhood,

632
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,960
you always tell me to
practice sticks, not swords.

633
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,240
You say,
so as not to shed blood.

634
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,240
That's why,
I only practice sticks.

635
00:38:36,070 --> 00:38:37,150
However, stick

636
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,990
can also kill people!

637
00:39:03,630 --> 00:39:07,400
I've done my best!

638
00:39:07,510 --> 00:39:10,360
You can't sue me
do more than that!

639
00:39:12,670 --> 00:39:13,590
Brother Yuanbao,

640
00:39:15,670 --> 00:39:16,840
I really think so

641
00:39:19,470 --> 00:39:21,400
we will be brothers for life.

642
00:39:50,510 --> 00:39:51,280
Sen.

643
00:39:53,630 --> 00:39:55,760
Sen.

644
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:58,990
Let me see.

645
00:40:01,510 --> 00:40:02,320
Fortunately.

646
00:40:02,990 --> 00:40:04,440
Luckily
You didn't do anything stupid.

647
00:40:11,990 --> 00:40:14,720
Ninth Master found me
between three trees.

648
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:17,880
Brother Yuanbao said,

649
00:40:18,550 --> 00:40:19,720
"Just give him the name Sen."
[*Means forest]

650
00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:24,190
Not just Lord Ninth
who raised me.

651
00:40:27,030 --> 00:40:27,880
They said,

652
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,070
after I came,

653
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,110
my brothers became gentler.

654
00:40:35,030 --> 00:40:36,440
Even though selling salt is illegal,

655
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:38,800
they don't change
become a cruel criminal.

656
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,550
Jin Yuanbao, in the past

657
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,070
you accept your fate,

658
00:41:15,670 --> 00:41:17,240
keep living calmly

659
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:23,030
in Huaying,
and became a small shopkeeper,

660
00:41:28,070 --> 00:41:30,360
you won't end
like now.

661
00:41:30,630 --> 00:41:32,590
Lost one ear,

662
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,510
lost a group of brothers.

663
00:41:37,070 --> 00:41:38,280
Until now,

664
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,630
you still have to stake
your miserable life.

665
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,590
Grand Secretary Yu was right.

666
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:10,990
That living human

667
00:42:12,590 --> 00:42:14,590
between preying on other people

668
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:16,670
or

669
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,960
prey on yourself.

670
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:21,960
I...

671
00:42:24,190 --> 00:42:26,550
I did nothing wrong!

672
00:42:45,030 --> 00:42:46,670
Please give it bro
a little concession to us.

673
00:42:46,990 --> 00:42:48,320
The longest is only 15 minutes.

674
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:48,990
Hurry up.

675
00:42:52,190 --> 00:42:52,960
Mrs. Zhao.

676
00:42:58,990 --> 00:43:01,440
Today, Big Brother is very generous.

677
00:43:01,550 --> 00:43:03,550
You've fallen
under these circumstances,

678
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,720
but still had time to joke.

679
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:09,440
This is nothing.

680
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,280
I have overcome various great dangers.
Are you still afraid of this ordeal?

681
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,320
It's clothes and money

682
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,510
which is entrusted
by Mrs. Wang for you.

683
00:43:21,510 --> 00:43:24,440
He made a special message
that will take good care of Sen.

684
00:43:25,150 --> 00:43:27,360
He asked you
you have to take good care of yourself.

685
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:29,840
Listen to me.

686
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:30,920
If there really is no other way,

687
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,190
just give it away
all the blame goes to Mr Zhao.

688
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,630
He loves you so much
so it definitely won't blame you.

689
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,590
As a woman, under any circumstances,

690
00:43:38,590 --> 00:43:39,880
we must not give up
to yourself.

691
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,030
You have to stay alive.

692
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,070
He loves me.

693
00:43:48,110 --> 00:43:49,760
Well then, me too
must love him.

694
00:43:55,030 --> 00:43:56,440
You guys just calm down.

695
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,550
I know what to do.

696
00:44:00,550 --> 00:44:05,360
What kind of place is this?
Still better in Ganlin.

697
00:44:06,190 --> 00:44:10,630
If only we were all still there
in Ganlin, General Mo will not die.
