[Episode 13]

17

Fan Xian should be here soon.

18

Don't be anxious. I'm early.

19

I changed the cup for you.

20

Without any reasons,

21

it doesn't seem like an accident.

22

This place is rather familiar.

23

You beat Guo Baokun here.

24

This street holds memories then.

25

This is Cow Pen Street.

26

Talking about this, you owe me a cow.

27

I will buy one for you when we are in Danzhou.

28

I was lucky to have met you in Danzhou.

29

If not, I wonder when I would have been able to see my wife and son again.

30

I wonder when I would have been able to extinguish my hatred and grudges, too.

31

Fan Xian, thank you.

32

If you thank me again, I'm going to puke.

33

Cheng Jushu!

34

Why are you so flustered?

35

Cheng Jushu is having a confrontation with someone at Cow Pen Street.

36

Cheng Jushu from Northern Qi?

37

He's a Level 8 Master.

38

Who can confront him?

39

You are still alive?

40

You still haven't given me

41

the cow and land that you promised me.

42

Why should I die?

43

Did you apply medication on your sword?

44

Yes, I did.

45

That's good.

46

Leave now.

47

Didn't you apply the medication?

48

This Cheng Jushu is a Level 8 Master and has powerful muscles.

49

It's not easy to topple him.

50

Let's leave together.

51

Let's go.

52

Why the heck are we leaving?

53

He still didn't die. This rascal's luck is not bad.

54

Once I'm really furious, I will beat him till he dies.

55

After I'm gone, take good care of Ruoruo.

56

Tell Wan'er that tuberculosis is not a terminal disease and

57

to find someone who's better than me!

58

What crap! Tell them yourselves!

59

Teng Zijing!

60

Teng Zijing!

61

Lord.

62

Lord, wake up.

63

Lord.

64

Lord, don't move.

65

Let's check your injury first before you can move.

66

The colleagues from the Inspection and Control Bureau will be here soon.

67

Tell him to wake up.

68

He won't be able to wake up.

69

Lord.

70

Lord.

71

What did he tell you?

72

When I arrived, he had already stopped breathing.

73

Didn't you say you would live for your family?

74

Didn't you say when you encounter danger, you would leave first?

75

Why didn't you keep your promises?

76

He's not dead yet.

77

Lord.

78

Lord.

79

- Move aside!

- Lord!

80

If he's alive, we can investigate the real mastermind.

81

We can take revenge for Teng Zijing then.

82

Who will interrogate him?

83

The Inspection and Control Bureau.

84

Help me send Teng Zijing back to Fan Manor.

85

Yes, Lord.

86

I will ask for the results tomorrow at the Inspection and Control Bureau.

87

Lord, let me escort you back to Fan Manor.

88

No need!

89

Regardless of whoever wants to kill me,

90

I will give him the chance to kill me again!

91

- Why is he so severely wounded?

- Where is he going?

92

Older Brother, what's wrong with you?

93

I'm fine.

94

- I heard about it.

- It's already in the past.

95

Get someone to relay this message to Second Prince.

96

I met an accident along the way. I fear I won't be able to keep the appointment for today.

97

Ruoruo, we are not going back to Danzhou anymore.

98

I fear there's bad news.

99

Cheng Jushu assassinated Teng Zijing on Cow Pen Street.

100

What's the result?

101

Two female assassins died and his guard with him died, too.

102

Is Cheng Jushu still alive?

103

He was taken away by members from the Inspection and Control Bureau.

104

They are probably investigating the mastermind who directed this

105

for daring to take such bold action in Jingdu.

106

I'm the biggest suspect.

107

Your Highness.

108

I made an appointment with Fan Xian and he encountered an assassin.

109

Your Highness, please return to the palace now.

110

This incident...

111

I fear it will shock Jingdu.

112

Fortunately, Master Fan is fine.

113

This doesn't alarm you.

114

Why do you say that? I don't understand.

115

You are not alarmed at all upon hearing about the assassination.

116

Could it be that you knew this would happen?

117

Your Highness, what are you trying to do?

118

I'm just speaking randomly. Don't regard it as real.

119

So how?

120

Fan Xian realigned his arm on his own.

121

He didn't call for the physician, either.

122

He's really a man. He did this and it was done.

123

His mood is currently stable.

124

He didn't cry or create a scene. I think he should be fine.

125

Hold him down.

126

He put it back together. There was none. Look, he's fine now.

127

What should I eat?

128

Where's Ruoruo?

129

I don't know.

130

He came back alone. I don't know where she is.

131

Go call your father.

132

Cheng Jushu was brought to the Inspection and Control Bureau for interrogation.

133

Ruoruo has been guarding the entrance of the Bureau

134

to wait for the results of the interrogation.

135

Who do you think it could be?

136

Second Prince is the biggest suspect.

137

Because he made an appointment to meet you at Zuixian Hotel

138

and you needed to pass through Cow Pen Street.

139

If I die,

140

everyone will suspect him.

141

Hence, there's someone else.

142

I want to know

143

where the crown prince went today and what he did.

144

It's not for you to ask about the crown prince's movements.

145

We don't know who the mastermind is.

146

We must not be rash.

147

I'm done eating.

148

I heard about it.

149

I heard about the horrifying battle.

150

I have been worried about you.

151

Teng Zijing...

152

died.

153

He was your bodyguard.

154

He wasn't my bodyguard.

155

He was an idiot.

156

Tell me about him, okay?

157

The Inspection and Control Bureau secretly ordered

158

the killing of the state traitor.

159

You are from the Inspection and Control Bureau?

160

Fan Xian, I would like to ask a favor from you.

161

Please kill me.

162

The Inspection and Control Bureau has a special archived case file.

163

If you give a part of an unimportant document to me,

164

I will give my life to you.

165

Whatever your decision is, I can plot together with you.

166

No need! I don't need any friends!

167

Why did you help me?

168

Help a friend. The waters are deep in Jingdu. It's a good thing for you to leave early.

169

It will reduce the worries and fears of your family.

170

- You are not leaving Jingdu?

- You are so stupid. If I leave,

171

I fear you won't be able to survive in Jingdu.

172

Be a bodyguard then.

173

It's hard to obey orders. My life is for my family.

174

As for you, when you encounter danger, it should be alone.

175

As for me... I will turn around and run.

176

Leave now.

177

Let's leave together.

178

Let's leave.

179

He told me that...

180

when he encounters danger, he will leave first.

181

Why did he lie to me?

182

He gave you the answer earlier.

183

It's what you just mentioned.

184

It's what he said today.

185

If there's no one who's willing to die for you in this world,

186

life will be uninteresting.

187

"If there's no one who's willing to die for you in this world,

188

life will be uninteresting."

189

He was referring to his family.

190

To him, you are his family, too.

191

Yes.

192

Who conducted the killing today?

193

I may be ignorant but I'm not that crazy!

194

Fan Xian and I get along well.

195

I don't have any reason to kill him.

196

Who do you think it is then?

197

The murderer is from Northern Qing.

198

Perhaps, it's a conspiracy from Northern Qi.

199

The crown prince makes sense. It's just that...

200

I don't quite understand why Northern Qi would want to kill Fan Xian.

201

Could it be to take revenge to wipe out the humiliation of Guo Baokun?

202

I would never do this just because of Guo Baokun!

203

Although I believe the crown prince,

204

it's just that I can't think of who

205

would have any grudges with Fan Xian in Jingdu.

206

Second Brother should know that gossip is a fearful thing.

207

Do you think killing someone can solve the problem?

208

Of course not. The problems in the world are chaotic and complex.

209

Will killing anyone solve the problem?

210

This is how I feel, too.

211

I think it's possible.

212

If Fan Xian is a hindrance, kill Fan Xian.

213

If governors become suspicious, you can kill them.

214

If the Inspection and Control Bureau persistently asks for it,

you can kill everyone in that bureau.

215

If I become suspicious,

216

you can kill me, too.

217

Killing people even though can solve the problem,

218

but that is a delusion of unpardonable evil.

219

If I have this intention,

220

- I shall be annihilated.

- The same goes for me.

221

Then don't use words to test things!

222

How can one rule the world when the heart is not generous?

223

You two are being so bold. Are you testing the limits of our country's law?

224

You can leave now.

225

Your Majesty, the Investigation and Control Bureau delivered a secret report.

226

- The Investigation and Control Bureau wants to release Cheng Jushu?

- Yes.

227

- Does Fan Xian know?

- He doesn't know yet.

228

Tell him.

229

I understand.

230

Thank you.

231

I should leave.

232

Where are you going?

233

Teng Zijing died because of me.

234

His wife and son...

235

still don't know about his death.

236

I should go and tell them.

237

Miss.

238

Miss Ruoruo from Fan Manor is here.

239

Invite her in now.

240

Yes.

241

Older Brother, the Investigation and Control Bureau wants to release Cheng Jushu.

242

- Lord.

- Where's Cheng Jushu?

243

He's in prison at the Investigation and Control Bureau.

244

- Did they find out who the mastermind was?

- Not yet.

245

How is this being handled now?

246

Speak!

247

They are taking him out from the city.

248

And then?

249

He will be released later.

250

Who made the decision?

251

The head of the Bureau is not here.

252

Arrangements of the matters in Jingdu are handled by Lord Zhu Ge from the First Division.

253

- Take me to see him.

- Lord.

254

Take me to see him!

255

Lord, please come with me.

256

The Inspection and Control Bureau has eight departments, each having its own tasks.

257

The first department is located in Jingdu, inspecting all courtiers.

258

This is the most serious place.

259

Lord Zhu Ge worked with the head of the Bureau for many years.

260

He is highly ranked and very powerful.

261

He is very stern and rigid.

262

Lord, when you meet him later,

263

you must watch your words and actions.

264

Lord Zhu.

265

Old Fei's disciple,

266

Official Lord Fan Xian of the Inspection and Control Bureau, seeks an audience with you.

267

I don't want to see him.

268

You must be cautious with your words and actions.

269

Lord!

270

Lord Zhu.

271

You are going to release Cheng Jushu?

272

Out of the eight decision-makers at the Bureau,

273

in terms of ability, Fei Jie is in the top three. [Zhu Ge: Head of First Division at Southern Qing's Inspection and Control Bureau ]

274

But talking about handling tasks, the one I looked down on the most, was him.

275

He didn't differentiate official and personal matters. He did things in haste.

276

He couldn't distinguish from primary and secondary matters. He was unable to look at the big picture.

277

As his student,

278

don't take after him.

279

Why are you releasing Cheng Jushu?

280

Just listen to the order. Don't ask too many questions.

281

I'm an official from the Inspection and Control Bureau!

282

My position is outside of the eight departments and is on the same level as the department heads.

283

Is this waist badge a fake?

284

It's not.

285

Fine. I'm asking you again.

286

Why are you releasing Cheng Jushu?

287

There's an urgent report from the Military Department.

288

Various military troops in the Northern region are being urgently deployed.

289

War can easily happen.

290

We have been planning for the war against Northern Qi for a long time.

291

We must have control when the war begins.

292

What has this to do with Cheng Jushu?

293

Cheng Jushu is a master from Northern Qi.

294

If he dies in Jingdu, I fear there will be gossip.

295

What if Northern Qi advances its troops?

296

It'll ruin our country's great plans!

297

What if?

298

Just because of a "what if?"

299

Cheng Jushu has a general who's an old friend in Northern Qi.

300

This person swore that if Cheng Ju Shu was returned safely,

301

they would give us

302

confidential information about the Northern Qi troop formation by the border.

303

So, this is just a business transaction.

304

We must keep the big picture in mind!

305

If it is obtained in exchange for the lives of the weak and helpless, what use is having the big picture?

306

The law is strict. It's not for your reckless behavior!

307

One life for another, that has always been the rule!

308

The person who died is just a bodyguard!

309

Just a bodyguard?

310

Lord Zhu, it's written on the stone monument at the door.

311

"People should be equal."

312

"There are no differences between a noble and a thief."

313

This is what the Investigation and Control Bureau is based on!

314

A bodyguard is also a human. He's the father of a son.

315

He's the husband of a wife!

316

He's the only one his family depends on!

317

The victim's body hasn't even turned cold yet, and the killer is going free!

318

Where is the state law?

319

Do heavenly principles still exist?!

320

This matter has already been decided.

321

There's no room for further discussion.

322

Someone!

323

Here.

324

Relay my order. Regarding Cheng Jushu,

325

under my instructions,

326

even if someone holds the official waist badge, you must not hand him over!

327

Yes!

328

I have cut off your room for maneuver.

329

Go back and nurse your wounds.

330

Lord Zhu,

331

be at ease.

332

I'm taking my leave.

333

Does anyone believe what's written here?

334

Wang Qinian, let me ask you! Does anyone believe in these words?!

335

Lord, it's already at this stage.

336

You have already tried your best.

337

Brother Fan,

338

His Highness and I would like to apologize to you.

339

If His Highness didn't ask to meet you at Zuixian Hotel,

340

you wouldn't have encountered danger.

341

But Brother Fan, please believe that this wasn't conducted by His Highness.

342

Do me a favor then.

343

Please speak.

344

Take Cheng Jushu out of the Inspection and Control Bureau and punish him according to the law!

345

Brother Fan, even if Cheng Jushu is in the Punishment Department, in the surroundings of the city, Jingdu Manor,

346

there's no way His Highness can kill him.

347

It's just that the emperor had ordered since long ago that the Inspection and Control Bureau

348

members of the royal family cannot interfere.

349

Even the crown prince has no right to interfere!

350

Perhaps we can reward the bodyguard's family with money

351

and provide them with sufficient compensation.

352

What if it were you?

353

How much money are you willing to trade for his life?

354

I won't make it hard for you, too. Just do this.

355

Why are you following me?

356

I'm escorting you to your manor.

357

What other powers in Jingdu are not controlled by the Inspection and Control Bureau?

358

There are none. The Imperial Army in the city is under the jurisdiction of the court.

359

The feudal government office is also very fearful.

360

Members of the royal family cannot enter.

361

The court officials all look to protect themselves.

362

Your waist badge was prohibited today.

363

Your father is also only a Minister of Revenue.

364

I thought through it all for you already.

365

There's nothing you can do.

366

When will Cheng Jushu leave the Investigation and Control Bureau?

367

It should be today at noon.

368

Help me to find out the exact time.

369

I only have this with me right now. I'll get more for you later.

370

Lord, please go back to the manor and wait for my news.

371

Thank you very much.

372

Lord, for taking other's money to conduct tasks for them,

373

I don't deserve to be thanked.

374

Mother, why didn't you sleep?

375

Why are the candles not blown out yet?

376

When is Father coming back?

377

I have been thinking. He treats me well.

378

I will often call him "Father" in the future. He loves listening to that.

379

Fine.

380

For my good friend who lives in the chest,

381

I'm going to buy him a candied hawthorn.

382

If you see your father, tell him to come home early.

383

I'm going to buy a candied hawthorn for my good friend who lives in a chest!

384

About that... Fan Xian,

385

isn't it unlucky for the coffin to be in the courtyard?

386

After the task has been completed,

387

I will take him home.

388

Complete the task?

389

What task?

390

This... Why are you wiping your knife?

391

Older Brother, what can I help you with?

392

Just guard the house.

393

I checked. Half an hour later, they will leave from the courtyard of the Bureau,

394

from the south gate of the city via the Jingdu water route.

395

Wait for me to return.

396

Older Brother!

397

I don't like this.

398

I couldn't help at all.

399

If you follow this road and leave through the north gate, there is a small forest before the boat pier.

400

it's the best way to kill Cheng Jushu.

401

- The forest outside the city?

- Yes, this is the only way.

402

Think of a way to lure the escorts away first.

403

Kill Cheng Jushu while no one is around him.

404

In this case, even if Lord Zhu knows that you did this,

405

there's no concrete evidence. He won't be able to take you down, either.

406

It's just... Although Cheng Jushu suffered serious injuries,

407

he is, after all, a Level 8 Master.

408

As for you, you haven't recovered from your wounds. There's some risk in this.

409

Lord, this is the way out of the city.

410

Who says I'm leaving the city?

411

But there's no one at that little forest.

412

Why isn't there anyone there?

413

Thank you for finding the information.

414

You can stop following me from now, lest you are implicated.

415

Lord, where are you going to take action?

416

Lord Zhu said Qing State will keep you safe.

417

After you get to Northern Qi, don't forget to have your friend do some investigating.

418

Also, keep quiet when we go out.

419

Follow us in leaving the city. There will be a boat at the pier to take you back to Northern Qi.

420

Remember, don't stop when you go out.

421

If we are discovered, there will be serious trouble. Understand?

422

Let's go!

423

Let's go!

424

What are you looking at?

425

Lord Zhu already said you can't interfere

426

with the departure of Cheng Jushu.

427

I'm not here to interfere.

428

I'm here to kill him.

429

Lord Fan, this is the Investigation and Control Bureau.

430

Someone advised me not to kill you. I'm not happy with this.

431

When you killed viciously and cruelly in the street, this sin was unforgivable!

432

I'm going to kill you in front of the public.

433

Someone wants to make a deal with you.

434

I won't do that. If you can't be killed by the overall situation, I will do the killing!

435

Stop Fan Xian.

436

Come with me! Let's go!

437

In the previous battle, I was furious, focused and desired to be better.

438

You are certain to die today.

467

♫ No complaints ♫

468

♫ It's a cold world and I think of you as I did before ♫

469

♫ The moon is sleepless ♫

470

♫ Leave a warm heart ♫

471

♫ To look after the rest of the year ♫

472

♫ Even if I have to cross a thousand mountains and through the fire of war ♫

473

♫ You are always there for me ♫
