[Divine Constable Tally]

[Episode 13]

Don't run! Stop!

Got you now!

Get her!

Stop!

My Lords.

This girl ran away from the mansion.

We are teaching her a lesson

on behalf of our Master.

We won't bother...

So many of you

beating a child.

Have you no shame?

Jiuying.

Don't be afraid.

I won't hurt you.

If you want,

come back with us.

Watch out.

There it is!

Run!

Oh my goodness.

This must be the real green-haired demon.

There really is a demon in Mingling County.

After them!

If what the note says is true

and Gong Sihai is selling government salt,

I'm afraid the waters in Mingling County

are much deeper than we thought.

This is...

A Chiying bug.

I've searched high and low for this.

I didn't expect

to find it here.

No wonder it's called Chiying.

It must be

named after

its glowing wings.

This tiny bug

can actually mutate people into demons.

Could the Gong family

also be related to the Liluo Dark Night?

Old Geezer said that

these Chiying bugs

love to gather around graves.

Could it be that in this lake...

Let's go down and find out.

It's Zhenzhu, Yan, and the others.

Let's go help them first.

Anyway, a lake this big

won't run away on its own.

Yan.

What happened?

Let me tell you.

My eyes were really opened today.

There really is a green-haired demon.

It was covered in green hair.

It looked like a wolf,

but for some reason,

it became demonic.

What?

Yan isn't exaggerating.

We originally wanted

to save Xia Jiuying,

but a wolf appeared all of a sudden

and carried her away.

Although it's a wolf,

its body has completely mutated.

It doesn't look like a normal animal at all.

Where is the mutated wolf

now?

How can two legs

outrun four paws?

We couldn't catch up.

It also snatched

Huang Bingshui away.

Speak.

I'll speak!

We were

running ahead.

Then we heard a scream

and saw Huang Bingshui

being carried away by that demon wolf.

Was he eaten?

We didn't dare to look.

Only drip-shaped bloodstains

were found at the scene.

Judging from this,

he must have been bitten

and taken away.

Strange.

Why did it take Huang Bingshui away?

It must be...

It must be Xia Jiuying

who made that monster do it.

Huang Bingshui

often beat that girl.

Tell me,

how did Zhe Shan

treat Xia Jiuying?

He always beat and scolded her.

Zhenzhu,

do you suspect that

Xia Jiuying ordered the demon wolf

to maul Zhe Shan to death?

I think

it's really possible.

A green-haired demon appeared in Mingling County.

Under Xia Jiuying's orders,

it mauled the boxer Zhe Shan to death,

carried the body

into Mount Fuyao,

and dumped it in the Yan River.

It all adds up.

Anyway,

let's find him first.

Are they leaving us here?

Mount Fuyao is this way.

My Lords!

My Lords!

-My Lords, please let us go. -My Lord, please let me down!

-My Lords! -My Lords!

My Lord,

we found nothing.

My Lords,

Mount Fuyao is huge.

We've been searching all night.

Are you sure it's in this direction?

Huang Bingshui was injured last night.

The wound should have clotted by now.

Would there still be bloodstains on the ground?

Blood can clot,

but the smell won't.

Found him! Found him!

Found him! He's here!

Help!

Here!

Help!

My Lord! My Lord!

Save me...

Save me!

Save me...

This bite mark

matches the one on Zhe Shan's throat

perfectly.

What did I tell you?

It must be that girl seeking revenge

by setting the wolf on him.

No.

If it was for revenge,

why didn't he die instantly

with a crushed throat like Zhe Shan?

My Lord, save me.

Just save me,

and I'll tell you everything.

Ji Ada did it all.

Ji Ada did it all!

I was forced into it!

Stop dawdling.

Spit it out.

I'll tell you everything.

Twelve years ago,

Ji Ada took a few of us

up the mountains to hunt wolves.

We ran into Xia Jiuying's mother.

Seeing that she was somewhat pretty,

he harbored lecherous thoughts.

But she resisted aggressively

and even bit Ji Ada.

In a fit of anger,

he ordered me to release the dogs.

Those were hunting dogs.

They were very fierce.

About 4 or 5 of them surrounded the woman

and bit her to death.

What?

So Xia Jiuying's mother

wasn't killed by wolves.

She was killed by you

animals!

No, it wasn't me!

Divine Constable,

Ji Ada made me do it.

I had no choice.

Does Xia Jiuying

know about this?

No.

Once out of the woods,

no one ever mentioned it again.

Ji Ada put out the word

that the woman

was mauled by wolves.

If anyone let it slip,

he'd cut their tongue out.

But Ji Ada said

he was the one who collected

her mother's body.

Bah!

Killing someone

and burying them on the spot

is hardly considered collecting a body.

I still remember

where she was buried.

It's just a little further ahead.

I can take you there.

But now,

there's nothing left there.

I've already given

the last skull

to Xia Jiuying.

She kept you alive

just so you could point out

the burial spot?

Yes.

Xia Jiuying has been looking for her mother

for so many years.

Didn't she

ask you before?

Of course she did.

But who would

dare to tell her?

Later, Xia Jiuying grew up

to be foolish

but skilled at hunting.

So Ji Ada took an interest in her.

Ji Ada

came up with a

wicked idea to use the dead

to control the living.

Every once in a while,

he would dig up a bone and toss it to her.

To get

her mother's bones,

Xia Jiuying had to work for him.

After 5 years,

the whole skeleton

is now only missing a skull.

A bunch of animals!

Now tell me.

When the dogs were released

to maul Xia Jiuying's mother to death,

was Zhe Shan there?

Yes.

Yes, he was there too!

He was leading one of the dogs.

You used the bones of a loved one

to threaten a child!

You're all worse than animals!

My Lords,

please have mercy!

Please have mercy.

For the sake of me helping Xia Jiuying

find her mother,

please spare me.

Just now,

I dug up that skull

and gave it to her.

Please spare me.

Let me go, My Lord.

My Lord, My Lord.

My Lord, My Lord.

Please spare me.

My Lords, you don't know this,

but that Hound Pit

hides other secrets.

If you spare me,

I will confess everything.

I will confess everything!

My Lord, please spare me.

Please spare me!

Lord Situ.

Please

escort this man back to the county office

for overnight interrogation.

Leave the rest

to us.

Yes.

Take him away.

Take him away.

Please spare me...

My Lord!

Move!

I didn't expect

this child to have such a hard life.

If Xia Jiuying

really ordered the wolves to kill,

even if she is pitiful,

the law will not tolerate it.

Xia Jiuying.

Go away!

I want to be with my mother.

Mother, I will protect you.

That should be her mother.

Xia Jiuying,

listen to me.

We won't hurt you,

nor will we hurt your mother.

We are here to help you.

Liars!

Liars...

You are all liars!

Lying to me,

you are all lying to me!

We are not lying to you.

Trust me.

As long as you tell us the truth,

we will definitely find a way to help you.

Tell me.

Was it you

who controlled your demon wolf friend

to maul Zhe Shan to death?

They all deserve to die!

They

killed my mother...

This was stuck in my mother's bones.

I recognize it.

It's a dog fang.

It's a dog fang!

It wasn't a wolf that bit my mother to death.

It was a dog,

and the person holding the leash!

It was Ji Ada,

Huang Mazi,

and Zhe Shan!

They all deserve to die!

They deserve it!

They all deserve to die.

They deserve it!

They deserve it!

They deserve it...

They all deserve to die!

They deserve it.

They all deserve to die.

They deserve it! They deserve it!

They all deserve to die!

I'm begging you!

I'm begging you!

Don't take me away.

I'm begging you...

I want to stay with her a little longer.

I want revenge.

I also want

to live.

It is indeed a dog's fang.

So,

she knew everything.

But the state has its laws, and the family has its rules.

You let the wolf kill Zhe Shan.

You must return to the county office with us.

My colleagues,

I hope you've been well.

Lou Tianming?

They are here.

They are here!

Everyone,

we're taking Xia Jiuying

and breaking out of here.

It really is you,

Lou Tianming!

Yan Zige?

You're alive?

[Demonic Overlord, Yan Zisheng]

My brother died at the hands of the Divine Constable Bureau.

Today, I

will avenge him!

Don't kill Big Wolf.

Don't kill Big Wolf!

Don't kill Big Wolf!

-During my absence, -Don’t kill Big Wolf!

has the Bureau been well?

How dare you ask?

I used to treat you as a brother.

I, Yan Sanhuo, was blind

not to see your cruel nature!

Lou.

It's been over a month since we parted.

I've missed you very much.

Since you went to work elsewhere,

why didn't you say goodbye

to everyone first?

Lord Li,

you've been promoted to Divine Constable.

I must

congratulate you.

The Divine Constable Bureau

only has four Divine Constables.

Four spots for 4 people.

If you didn't leave, Lou,

how would there be a place for me?

Qingyang,

your sharp tongue

is wasted at the Divine Constable Bureau.

Why don't you come with me?

Lou,

you're on a bad luck streak lately.

If I follow you,

I'd surely lose.

Your brother's revenge

can be taken today!

Zhenzhu, you protect her.

I haven't had a good fight

in a long time.

Kill!

Kill!

Yan!

How did you become such a freak?

Watch out!

Big Wolf!

-Jiuying. -Big Wolf!

What a splendid demonized creature!

Such a pity.

Anyone who opposes Liluo

is asking for death.

No, Big Wolf!

No!

No, Big Wolf!

Big Wolf!

Big Wolf!

-Big Wolf! -Jiuying!

Big Wolf!

Big Wolf...

Big Wolf!

Big Wolf!

Big Wolf...

No...

No, don't die, Big Wolf!

Don't die, Big Wolf!

No!

No...

No...

Don't die, Big Wolf!

Big Wolf! Big Wolf!

Big Wolf!

No!

Don't die, Big Wolf!

No! No!

Lou Tianming escaped,

but he's badly injured.

Knowing his temperament,

he likely won't make any rash moves

in the near future.

Xia Jiuying.

You knew all along

they would come after us,

didn't you?

Tell me,

why did those demon-men

want to kill you?

Because...

T-They caught Big Wolf

and took it

to a glowing cave.

There were bugs.

A glowing cave?

Bugs?

Where is the cave?

Do you remember?

Xia Jiuying.

-Go away! Go away! -Tell me!

-Go away! -Meng Rui.

-She's in shock now. -Big Wolf.

-I’m afraid she won't be -Big Wolf.

speaking up for a while.

-But... -Big Wolf...

I believe

she must know the location of the cave.

Otherwise,

Lou Tianming wouldn't have chased her all the way here

to silence her.

Give her some time.

Big Wolf...

For now,

we should first

close the case in Mingling County.

Isn't the case solved?

The green-haired demon is dead.

The real culprit of the floating corpse case is here.

Isn't it all solved?

Brother Sanhuo.

A so-called shocking case

is not that easy to solve.

[Mingling County Government]

Officers.

Officers.

No need to trouble yourselves.

I'll confess.

I'll confess everything!

Move.

Move.

Hurry up.

Lord Situ.

Move.

Lord Li.

Move.

Wait a minute.

[Breezes of Grace and Harmony]

Alright, Jiuying.

I know

you still have concerns in your heart.

But don't worry.

We will give a proper burial

to your mother.

We will bury her

in the place you carefully chose for her.

Mother.

Mother...

Mother. Mother.

Mother.

Mother...

Mother...

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Silly child.

It's okay.

Get up.

Get up.

It's okay. It's okay.

Jiuying,

listen to me.

[Breezes of Grace and Harmony]

This

is the prison of the county government.

You will temporarily

stay here for now.

Lord Situ.

[Breezes of Grace and Harmony]

Deep down, Jiu Ying

is not a bad child.

Please

don't treat her harshly.

[Integrity, Impartiality, Prudence, and Diligence]

Lord Li.

Please rest assured.

I will have someone take good care of her.

Go.

[Integrity, Impartiality, Prudence, and Diligence]

Lord Situ,

there are 2 more things

I need your help with.

First,

please send someone to keep an eye on the Gong Mansion.

During this time,

if anyone tries to flee,

arrest them immediately.

Second,

go to the county

and find some good swimmers,

the kind who are good at diving, holding their breath,

and salvaging underwater.

I will do as you say.

My Lords,

I will take my leave now.

An invitation?

[Respectfully from the Ji Family]

An invitation from the Ji family.

This Ji Ada is quite bold.

We haven't even settled the score with him

for letting his dogs maul someone to death,

yet he comes to us himself.

Interesting.

The person who delivered the invitation said

it's to thank the Divine Constable Bureau

for solving the case brilliantly

and successfully catching

Zhe Shan's murderer.

He's holding some kind of appreciation banquet.

[Invitation]

He's certainly well-informed.

The suspect was just locked up in prison,

and he's already hosting a banquet.

He doesn't even consider

the blood on his hands.

Then what are we waiting for?

Every wrong has its cause, every debt has its debtor.

Let's just go settle the score with him.

[Invitation]

Please, My Lords.

You truly are Divine Constables of the Divine Constable Bureau.

You've only been in Mingling for a few days,

and you've already eliminated the green-haired demon

and caught

Zhe Shan's murderer.

I am truly impressed.

I have specially prepared some wine and dishes

to celebrate your success and welcome you, My Lords.

Come, My Lords, please have a seat.

Lord Yan,

what is the meaning of this?

According to our dynasty's etiquette,

royalty who break the law do not wear cangues.

Since you are

Princess Ding's cousin,

whether you wear these shackles or not

is up to you.

But for the crimes you have committed,

we will definitely pursue them to the end.

So you are all here

to condemn me.

Then I would like to ask you, My Lords.

What crime have I committed?

Twelve years ago on Mount Fuyao,

you had your dogs attack

and kill someone, and buried the body.

So Xia Jiuying

still managed to piece her mother together.

This fool.

My Lords,

you don't think

you can convict me with just

a bunch of rotten bones, do you?

Your butler, Huang Bingshui,

is currently at the county office,

having a heart-to-heart talk with Lord Situ.

Why not

invite them to the Tingchao Boat

and talk while we eat?

Huang Bingshui...

Huang Bingshui

is an ungrateful traitor.

You actually believe what he says?

Back then,

if he hadn't failed to hold on

to that dog...

Now he's turning around and accusing me.

I think

he's worse than a dog!

My Lords.

Wasn't she just a village woman?

Is it worth making you all

go to such great lengths

and ruin your mood?

Why don't we

sit down and drink?

You have no regard for the law whatsoever,

do you?

Lord Yan.

We are here to investigate a case.

Since we are here to investigate,

we must follow the rules.

However,

what Mr. Ji just said

is indeed true.

Even a saint

couldn't tolerate this.

Is that so?

-Li Si, you... -This slap

is to vent some anger on behalf

of Xia Jiuying and her mother.

You...

This slap

is on behalf of the people

of Mingling County,

for your cruelty and for running a Hound Pit.

Lord Li.

Calm down.

Didn't you just say

that we must follow the rules when handling cases?

Mr. Ji.

Ms. Bai is right.

Just now,

I lost my temper.

Please forgive me.

Men!

Mr. Ji.

Capture them all!

I don't care what bureau you're from.

No authority can help you here.

Today,

none of you will leave here alive!

What do you want?

Where do you think you're going?

Stay away!

Stay away!

Stay away! Stay away!

-Stay away! -Stop!

Stay away!

The Divine Constable Bureau is killing people!

The Divine Constable Bureau is killing...

[Ji Mansion]

Second Master!

Bad news! Bad news!

B-Bad news.

Something terrible has happened.

Why are you panicking?

Master, he...

Master fell into the sea!

Has he been rescued?

N-No.

What are you waiting for?

Hurry up and find him.

Yes, yes.

Two of you, move this away.

Okay.

Come, put it here.

This side needs to be cleaned up too.

Okay.

Come, put it here.

Your martial arts have improved.

The rock crumbled like

a block of salt in your hand.

This is a block of salt.

It really is.

Huang Bingshui was right.

The Hound Pit appeared to be an underground fighting ring,

but it's actually a warehouse for hiding government salt.

So

this government salt

was usually right under our feet.

But making so much salt

must have required

a massive salt pan.

Did no one find out?

This salt

may not have been made by the Ji family themselves.

Don't forget

what the Gong family

of Mingling County does.

Transporting government salt.

They're embezzling imperial property.

What Gong Le told us that day

about the Gong family selling government salt

seems to be true now.

But aren't the Gong family and the Ji family

sworn enemies?

How could they collude?

My Lords.

My Lords.

Have you found Ji Ada?

Not yet.

These past few days, our men

have searched all the nearby beaches

and haven't found Ji Ada's body.

Lord Situ asked me to come and ask

if we should keep searching.
