[Episode 11]

Look!

Look at that!

That one is so pretty!

Look!

So pretty!

Look how high that one goes up!

Look!

Look! That one was great!

Where is Xiaobao?

He's missing?

- Xiaobao! - He was here a while ago!

Xiaobao! Did you see my boy, Xiaobao?

- He's about this tall.- Xiaobao!

Have you seen a boy about this tall?

Xiaobao, where are you?

- Have you seen my child? - Have you seen my child?

The whole department is risking their lives doing their job.

But in the end, you took all the credit.

Congratulations, Baihu Sui.

You're moving too quickly up the ladder.

It seems that our Northern Administrative Court is too small

for a talent like you.

This time Xue Ling had gone too far.

He left his post without permission

and stole an official boat.

He must be punished heavily.

Everyone must toe the line in our Imperial Guard, and he is, of course, no exception.

He received some bad influence from his superior.

According to the law,

his punishment can be flexible from dismissal

up to, you know,

being exiled to 250km away.

Your Excellency.

The Ji'an case was solved because of your command

and wise decision making.

I just followed the instructions of Your Excellency.

I dare not take the credit.

I will give a detailed report of this case in these two days,

so that people will know the credit should be Official Wan's.

Xue Ling is a first offender this time.

I will let him pass.

My colleagues, listen well and learn a lesson from it.

Behave properly.

I have a new case for you to handle.

[Child Kidnapping Case]

Child Kidnapping?

Isn't it Shuntian Prefecture's job?

Don't you see whose child was abducted?

Official Wang, the Assistant Minister of Ministry of Personnel?

That's right! That department controls officials' promotion appointments.

I don't need to say anymore.

In short, it is a good job.

Baihu Sui, if you solve it beautifully,

we can be showered in glory.

For those losers of Shuntian Prefecture,

even if they are given the case,

they won't be able to handle it.

Yes, Sir.

Dismissed.

What is this?

This is a treasure to get rich.

Even if you are short of cash, you can't practice fraud.

Do you know what this is?

In the second year of the Jianyuan reign of the Han dynasty,

Emperor Wu sent envoy Zhang Qian to the Western Regions.

During Zhang Qian's two trips as an envoy abroad,

which he passed through Usun, Tayuen, Shendu, and Parthia,

he brought back Ferghana Horses, grapes, pomegranates, and sesame.

This is another thing brought back by Zhang Qian.

- Wolf Peach. - Wolf Peach?

Look at it.

This Wolf Peach is beautiful in shape and vibrant in color.

It smells sweet and presents a strange orange-red color.

People say it's very toxic.

How do you want to make money out of this poisonous thing?

By chance, I got some Wolf Peach seeds.

After I went home, I kept wondering how I could

make some very toxic poison with it.

What do you want?

No, just hear me out.

This thing grew very fast.

Before I realized it, they had covered a large area of my backyard.

I didn't pay too much attention.

But then didn't you entrust me with your sheep?

It liked to eat them. I watched it eating them for days…

Stop!

Such a cute little sheep.

It's so sad!

The sadder part is this sheep became poisoned, too. Right?

I guess we can't eat the meat?

Unfortunately, your sheep is fine.

Did you do experiments with my sheep?

What's wrong with doing experiments with your sheep?

It lives with me and I didn't get paid from you!

It has to be valuable in another way. It shits so much every day…

Try one.

It's delicious! Sweet and sour at the same time.

It has a very special taste.

Is this Wolf Peach you're studying harmless to the human body?

I have never tried any. But looks like it should be fine.

You are not afraid that it might kill me?

Don't be so cynical.

I have prepared this possible toxicide for you.

Be a pioneer in its study!

Even if you die, you will get your share of profit after death!

- You… - You and I are buddies,

let's not discuss this! Look at it.

It tastes good and is easy to plant.

We'll be rich!

Now that you put it like this, it seems to make sense.

I know, right?

But the name Wolf Peach sounds too aggressive.

Okay. What do you want to name it?

I wonder what it tastes like to cook as a dish.

As for the name…

Its round shape looks like an eggplant.

It's also something from the Western Regions.

Maybe we can call it tomato, which means Western Eggplant.

You're right.

Tomato.

Wait for my good news.

Take a look.

In the west, I mean even further west to the Western Regions,

doctors there call their study of birth, senility, illness and death "medicine."

The science of this book is called "anatomy."

They say it's important to understand the structure of our body first

before we make diagnoses and treatments.

This looks like some sort of heterodoxy martial arts manual.

Tang Fan,

you have to help me with this.

How?

I want to practice what's written in the book.

So I need newly dead corpses to practice anatomy.

Don't you Shuntian Prefecture often

have unknown bodies that no one claims?

I asked Old Sun about this.

He said he needs permission from his superior.

I figured it's unnecessary to bother your senior, Official Pan, with this little thing.

Anyway, you are also a 6th rank official.

First of all, I'm a lower 6th rank official.

I'm still half a rank away.

Secondly, I don't want to help you with this wicked thing.

So just go to my senior to try your luck.

How can you say it's wicked?

The world of medicine is so profound.

We have to keep exploring to make continuous progress.

You have really improved a lot recently.

You even figured out whether the Wolf Peach is poisonous or not.

But this thing is tricky for me.

A few days ago I went to Ji'an without asking for permission.

My senior is really angry with me.

He wishes he could beat me up to vent his anger.

I don't want to ask for a snub at such a critical point.

So I can't help you.

But this tomato is really delicious.

I wish it poisoned you!

You came to see me after more than ten days since you've been back from your business trip.

You didn't think about me at all.

I have nothing in my heart but His Majesty and Your Highness.

But I was delayed by some chores.

Please don't be mad at me.

You were ordered to go to Liaodong,

but the souvenirs you brought back are candied fruits from Jiangxi.

You knew I will not punish you,

so you didn't even bother to cover up with official documents.

Your Highness is joking.

That's because I never tried to cover up anything.

You can punish me as long as that makes you happy.

What a smooth-talker.

You're going to see His Majesty next, right?

Yes.

His Majesty is very angry by the kidnapping case of the son of

the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Every law enforcement division has been scolded by him.

You have to be careful.

Yes. Thank you for Your Highness's reminding.

Brother.

Are you all right?

Did they give you a hard time?

Did they torture you?

Worse than being tortured.

They forced me to write a confession.

You know writing is my biggest weakness.

They said they got orders from their superior to teach me a lesson.

As a Xiaoqi of the Imperial Guard, I had never been afraid of anything.

But they didn't beat me or insult me.

They just told me to write my own confession,

over and over again.

I had to rewrite it if there was an error.

I think I wrote the share of my whole life.

Here you are.

Brother, so many words again!

Child's kidnapping case.

Isn't this kind of case under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture?

The only son of the Assistant Minister of Ministry of Personnel went missing.

His family has served three emperors.

It's said that three people in the family are worried sick.

His Majesty is in a fury.

So many children are lost and never found every year.

Now everyone is panicking because

a child of an assistant minister went missing.

Brother, I'm hungry.

Let's go.

Brother, what are these?

The two of you, eat some tofu.

Why do we have to eat tofu?

- Was it fun in jail? - No.

That's the point.

Eating tofu after being released means you two will live an innocent life.

Do you know what tofu is made of?

Soybean.

Can the soybeans made into tofu be converted back to soybeans again?

Of course not.

So that means you will never commit a crime again.

You are not going back, and you will become a different person!

We both went to jail because we were investigating a case.

It's all the same.

How are we supposed to eat this insipid tofu?

Maybe add some salt?

This stingy man is finally generous for once.

He bought all the tofu at the tofu stall.

There is still a lot in the back.

Don't waste food.

Aunt Dong, can I use your kitchen?

Sure.

In fact, my real name is not Aunt Dong.

Just call me by my name.

Qianxi.

There you go.

Let's dig in!

Thank you for your food!

This is the first time I'm trying your cooking.

Let me see if you're any good.

Do you like it?

Now, this is a proper tofu dish!

Don't tell me to eat boiled tofu with some salt.

Wuyun, you came at just the right time.

Do you want to have some tofu?

I don't like tofu.

This bill is for you.

You want me to pay now?

Aha said she was not in a hurry.

But she already charged you interest.

Where is your Aha? I want to talk to her.

She's buried herself in studying these days.

Why would she want to do that?

She's learning how to quarrel in Mandarin.

I'm leaving now.

It's quite challenging to do business now.

She even has to learn how to quarrel.

Brother Tang, she's learning Mandarin to quarrel with you.

You go pay her the money.

No, you go.

I don't have money.

I'll give you money, but you will go and pay on my behalf.

You have to do it in person this time.

They helped you at a critical moment.

You have to thank her properly.

Okay, fine.

I need to go ask around about the kidnapping case.

Give the money to her for me.

You are from a prestigious family!

How could you be so dishonest?

Why did he give me so much money?

Let's go.

Duo'erla.

And this is the money for the traveling expenses I borrowed from you last time.

Sui Zhou was going to come

but he got caught in a last-minute-notice job. He told me to thank you properly on his behalf.

And to thank Wuyun for his help as well.

Brother Tang, are you okay?

Why do you have that expression on your face?

You're not mad at Sister Duo'erla?

Why would I be mad at her?

And you don't want to seek revenge?

Why should I seek revenge?

There is nothing to seek revenge for.

Adults can be so strange sometimes.

Brother Tang, I want to eat candied hawthorn.

Sure!

I want to eat sweet tofu pudding!

Sure!

Bean cake.

Sure!

Why are you so generous today?

Because Brother Sui is paying.

Sir! Freshly picked grapes!

They're really fresh!

Sir, my name is Little Loach.

Brother Chizi asked me to greet you.

Little Loach?

Ever since I was a child, no one could catch me

as long as I didn't want them to.

I am like a slippery loach, so everybody calls me Little Loach.

It looks like you are seven or eight years old.

I am eleven.

I just look young.

Sir, do you want to know about the children trafficking thing?

It's become huge news on the streets.

Several children heard a lot of different theories.

Official Wang.

Commander Wang, to what do I owe the pleasure of this meeting?

Official Su.

Commander, you're too polite.

Can I ask what the meeting is about?

Have you heard that

the son of Assistant Minister Jia went missing?

What do you mean?

Everyone in the royal court

knows you have always been at odds with him.

I beg to differ.

Me and that Mouse Jia…

If I were to fall out with Mouse Jia,

it would be that Old Fox Su who gets the profit in the end.

Don't listen to his bullshit!

Commander, don't believe in what that old bastard said.

If both Official Wang and Jia were demoted,

the biggest beneficiary would be me. I don't deny it.

But even so,

I am not that kind of person who spreads rumor and gossip!

Unless someone powerful has their back,

people who normally involve in such dirty things

would ever have dared to kidnap a high ranking official's child.

Brother, what should we do now?

We can only use the stupid method of Tang Fan.

Go asking door to door to see if there are any witnesses.

- You go that way. - Okay.

Have you heard of any children missing in the past few days?

No.

Have you noticed anyone suspicious?

No.

Have you noticed anyone suspicious?

No.

- Excuse me. Has there been any children missing case recently? - No.

Yesterday, a child went missing nearby.

Let's go.

Excuse me.

Officer.

Owner, have you noticed anyone suspicious nearby recently?

Officer, I have been focusing on work here.

I never paid attention to anyone else.

This is just a routine inquiry.

You are not getting into trouble.

But if you know something and you don't tell us…

I shall not dare to do so!

Officer, I once saw some people on the street who looked like beggars.

But I never saw them begging for money.

Several times, I saw them lead some children passing through here,

but disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Maybe it was just some illusions I saw.

Anyway, I didn't get a good look at him.

If you see this person again, can you still recognize him?

I really didn't get a good look…

Yes, I will recognize him.

- Older Sister. - Uncle!

Cheng'er! How come you guys are here?

What? We are not allowed to come and see you?

Of course, you are!

Come on.

- Sister Tang Yu! - Dong'er!

I just cooked some Eight Ingredient Porridge.

I'll go get some for you.

Xiao Cheng, do you want to come with me?

I have osmanthus cakes.

Dong'er is taller than the last time I saw her.

How are you?

Pretty good.

Sister, sit down.

Sister, what happened to your face?

I sat for too long while doing the laundry one day.

So I lost balance when I stood up, I fell and bumped my head on the door frame.

It's nothing serious. Don't worry about me.

You should worry about yourself.

Why aren't you married yet?

Here it comes again.

I think Xiao Dong is a good girl. She's smart and cute.

But she is still a little girl now.

Not little at all!

Dong'er is five years older than Cheng'er.

As the saying goes, "An older girlfriend gives you tender care like your mother."

You always joke your way out whenever I mention you should get married.

Look at you, you are twenty-two years old.

When your brother-in-law was at your age, Cheng'er was already two years old.

When Cheng'er grows up, gets married, and has children,

you will become an old bachelor. You know?

When Cheng'er gets married and has children, I'll be their great uncle.

Isn't that a good thing, too?

Xiao Cheng! Xiao Cheng!

Brother Tang! Brother Tang!

- Cheng'er! - Xiao Cheng!

Brother Tang!

Cheng'er!

Cheng'er!

Do you know what kind of illness

insomnia is?

Insomnia is caused by mental issues

which oral medicine won't work well.

But I know a good way

to treat insomnia.

Old Pei, help! Hurry up!

What's the matter this time?

Cheng'er!

He ate the Wolf Peach... I mean tomato!

Cheng'er! Cheng'er!

Doctor Pei?

- Sorry, let's do it another time. - Cheng'er, wake up! Cheng'er!

It has nothing to do with tomatoes. This is epilepsy.

- Epilepsy? - Get out of the room.

Cheng'er, look at Mother! Cheng'er! Cheng'er!

Let him handle it.

Cheng'er!

Let's go, Sister.

Don't worry. Pei Huai's medical skills are superb.

Cheng'er will be fine.

Sister, don't hide it from me.

I know you well.

You wouldn't have come to see me without your husband

if nothing had happened.

What happened?

Xiao Cheng is ill.

He would act like that in severe cases

with syncope and convulsion.

I said he was sick and we needed to ask a doctor to see him.

But they refused to do so.

They said Cheng'er was possessed by a demon,

and they also said I was an ill-fated woman

to give birth to an abnormal child to the He family.

Cheng'er got sick again a few days ago.

His grandma wanted to tie him up and feed him incense ashes.

But I refused and we got into a quarrel.

And…

he hit me.

I couldn't stand it anymore so I brought Cheng'er to you.

He's in stable condition now.

Fortunately, you sent him here in time.

Thank you, Doctor Pei, for saving him.

You're most welcome.

Who is this?

She's my sister.

Then you're even more welcome.

Tang Fan and I have been good friends for many years.

Moreover saving people is our job as a doctor.

Old Pei, what's wrong with Cheng'er?

Epilepsy.

This is a congenital condition.

With the current level of medicine, there is no cure for it.

But we can use treatments and rehabilitation to stabilize

and even relieve his conditions.

In the best-case scenario,

he will be basically the same as ordinary people,

so you two don't have to worry too much about him.

Old Pei, I am counting on you.

I'll do my best.

Thank you, Doctor Pei. Thank you, Doctor Pei.

Don't be afraid!

Don't be afraid!

Why didn't you tell me the first time?

Sir, that old beggar didn't do it!

He is a good man.

The child would have died from freezing if it were not for him.

We were also afraid that he might get into trouble, so…

There's one more thing.

Two girls in our gang also disappeared a few days ago.

We are all in a panic.

We have been looking for them these past few days.

That's why we didn't get you enough information on time.

Why are these people even targeting little beggars now?

The missing children's case hasn't been solved for quite some time.

So parents don't dare to let their children go outside the house.

No children can be seen on the street.

You need to tell me everything you know as soon as possible.

The rest is not your concern.

Do you understand?

Don't worry too much about it.

I'll get people to find the two girls.

Go to the back door of Joyous Brothel. There will be people giving you some winter clothes and food.

It's not safe out there these days.

Always stay in groups. Watch out for yourself.

Understood.

Let's go.

Are these the people you saw that day?

Your Excellency, not them.

Are you sure?

I am sure.

Take them away.

Officer! Officer!

Officer, we beggars just struggle to survive,

trying to remain alive for as long as we can.

We can't even support ourselves,

so why would we kidnap other people's children?

We also hate those kidnappers.

They are evil!

They would cut the children's limbs and disfigure them!

Those cruel villains!

I found the boy by a water ditch that day.

He was injured.

He didn't have any outerwear,

he was soaked wet, and looked like he was dying.

I knew it was those villains' evil doing!

I couldn't bear to watch him die there.

So I took him back to take care of him.

These people can testify for me!

So the child's injury was not because of you?

God! I would rather starve or freeze to death

than do such an outrageous deed.

You mentioned they would cut the children's limbs or disfigure them.

Yes.

Those villains deserve to rot in hell!

They would break the children's'

limbs, disfigure them, make them into ugly and scary monsters.

Then they earn money by showing them to people seeking novelty.

They force those disabled children

to beg for money on the street.

Anyway, they do all the evilest things!

Official Sui.

Congratulations.

You have done another great deed of merit again.

What I did was finding a missing child at best.

How could it be a great deed of merit?

As long as the son of an assistant minister is found, it is a great deed.

This case is closed.

But why are you looking somber?

This case is not over.

Commander Wang, have you heard of how the missing children are physically hurt?

I have.

That's why we're having this conversation now.

Maybe we can take the assistant minister's son's thing as

an opportunity to eradicate all members of the serial abduction.

All right. Let's go.

Where are we going?

You don't have any clues, right?

I am taking you to find clues.

How did you know that I don't have any?

It's my secret.

They would cut the children's limbs or disfigure them?

Those villains should be cut into pieces alive!

But then again, you, from the Imperial Guard,

and you, from the Western Depot,

your names can scare children into crying.

Why did you wait so long before investigating this matter?

Do you know how many children have been hurt?

Say it! Don't you feel ashamed?

As a matter of fact,

human trafficking cases should be Shutian Prefecture's job.

But thanks to your incompetence,

Western Depot and the Imperial Guard grabbed this opportunity to show people…

Stop!

I think we need to analyze what the old beggar said.

Based on what we have learned so far,

I think he was probably telling the truth.

When we found the boy,

he was holding on to the old beggar very tightly.

If he ever hurt the boy,

the boy wouldn't be so attached to him.

That means it was another group of people

who kidnapped the missing children.

What are you doing?

Going back to investigate the previous abductions over the years.

Senior.

Don't call me that!

You neglected your duty

and deceived both your superior and subordinates last time. I am not over with you!

You know?

I just scolded you a little.

Then you...

hid in the house and didn't come out for several days!

Do you still have any respect for me

as Governor of Shuntian Prefecture?

Senior, I'm sorry.

You can hit me or scold me now. I won't complain!

But I really need your help now.

I want to check the files of all missing children cases in recent years.

- Didn't they find the son of the assistant minister? - Yes.

Then the case is closed!

Don't get into trouble again. Okay?

Senior, I'm trying to help you to keep your post.

Keep my post?

It's Shuntian Prefecture's job to solve missing children cases

which happens within the capital.

Now His Majesty's is furious

with the major kidnapping case that just happened.

If we keep pretending to be ignorant,

if our superior department wants to call to account,

we won't get away with it.

What do you mean is

we should take this opportunity to find out all those who are still at large.

Then we will not only have an explanation to tell our superiors,

but it's also a great deed in their eyes.

Old Wang!

Call everyone!

Examine all the files again.

I'll trust you one more time.

Come in.

- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.

You may rise.

Did you find the child?

Your Majesty,

the child was brought back by the Imperial Guard.

He was wounded when they found him.

But all in all, he was found in time and he is very likely to recover.

But the child was in shock,

so he needs to be nursed back to health gradually.

The son of an imperial court official went missing

right in the territory of the capital?

This is simply outrageous!

What did you find out?

Your Majesty,

the Eastern Depot is doing everything in our power to investigate.

But no result so far.

Your Majesty, the Western Depot is going all-out pursuing the culprits.

We will not let them escape!

This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.

These are all the files of missing children?

The case files of missing children in the past three years are all in here.

So many of them?

I know. So many files.

If we investigate it one by one, it will take ages to finish them.

So annoying.

They found the assistant minister's son.

But who will look for these children?

Official Tang, what did you just say?

Put all the files on the wall,

and sort by times and places of the cases.

[Shuntian Prefecture]

This is so impressive.

Why are you here?

You haven't been home for two days.

Sister Tang Yu told me to bring some clothes and food to you.

Brother Tang, are these…

That's not for children.

By the way, how is Cheng'er?

Doctor Pei has been coming to our door to give him acupuncture and a decoction every day recently.

I think Cheng'er has gotten a lot better.

Sister Tang Yu said she couldn't thank Doctor Pei enough.

Why does Old Pei come to my home every day?

And also, Sister Tang Yu is letting me tell you that

she will bring Xiao Cheng back to Tongzhou tomorrow.

So soon?

Tell her that it's totally fine if she wants to stay a few more days.

But if she still wants to go back, that's okay, too.

It's just that there have been children kidnapping cases frequently.

Ask her to look out for Cheng'er.

When my current work is done, I will go to Tongzhou to see them.

Brother Tang, there's something wrong with your classification.

And you, too.

Never go out alone.

And don't go to remote places where there are few people.

Brother Tang, I am talking to you about this wall.

Didn't I tell you not to look?

This is not a matter for you a little child to worry about.

Did you hear everything I just said?

Don't look down on me.

You have a problem with this classification.

You just classify the files by time, place, and missing children.

Then there will be a lot of paper that you can't classify.

So you have to add other conditions to reclassify,

so that we can put all the papers on the wall…

All right, all right! Don't disturb my work.

Go home,

and let me finish my meal.

Didn't I tell you to go?

Wait!

Papers that cannot be put on the wall…

Sister, can't you stay?

I don't want to part with Xiao Cheng.

When Tang Fan comes to Tongzhou in a few days,

you're welcome to come, too.

The two of them are working outside every day.

I am so bored at home alone.

Just because they are always out,

you have to take care of this home.

You're doing a great job.

I can take care of them.

Is anyone home?

I can't knock right now. Open the door.

Doctor Pei.

I heard you are returning to Tongzhou today.

I prepared some herbs for decoction for Xiao Cheng.

It should be enough for him to drink for a while.

He's just getting better now.

He must keep taking the decoction.

These are all I got now. Take them.

I'll find another chance to send some more to you after a while.

Doctor Pei,

thank you so much for this time. I really don't know how to thank you enough.

Please accept my gratitude.

Please don't. Please don't.

The pleasure is mine.

Don't be a stranger!

In this case, there will be an extra piece of luggage for you.

So I found a carriage for you. Go back by the carriage.

Let me see you off.

I'll put the herbs in the carriage first.

Are they back again?

Boil the kettle to prepare for tea. I brought Osmanthus Clear Store's snacks.

Why is osmanthus pastry so delicious?

I know. I can never get enough of it.

Although you are not very likable,

you have a good taste for snacks.

I feel sad to hear that.

Why are you at home alone? Where are they?

Brother Tang looks down on people.

Who did he look down on?

I said that he had a problem with the classification.

He just didn't listen and said I am a child.

What's wrong with being a child?

Yeah! What's wrong with children?

I have a lot of jobs done by children.

I know, right?

Brother Tang wanted to sort those pieces of paper.

But he had too few categories.

So many pieces of paper can't be classified.

What pieces of paper?

Are they case files?

I think so.

He only sorted them by time, location, and so on.

So what do you have in mind?

I think he should add the environment,

what kind of people were around, what shops were nearby on the street,

what the weather was like that day, whether it was the first of the month or mid-month,

whether there was a market that day.

So we can sort out all the pieces of paper and put them on the wall.

After that, we can get several overlapped locations.

These overlapped locations must be where the bad guys keep committing crimes.

I am in awe.

What does that mean?

Just a compliment of your brain.

Brother Tang is looking down on children!

If we do it my way,

pretending to be an ordinary child and walking around at these locations,

we will meet the bad guys!

Do you remember those locations?

Of course, I remember.

Terrific.

Then what we need now is a child as bait.
