The Empress is arriving

Quick... it's the Empress.

Long live the Empress!

Please rise, Lords

Thank you Empress

Which story should we put on today?

Civil order

Then l must trouble you three to perform

All has been prepared

Put your costume on

The weather is clement on the sixth of October

Lord Sima is faithfully doing his duties

Documenting the Emperor's

165th time false patrolling the town as a civilian

ready!

good day Emperor!

Please rise, Lord Sima

Thank you Emperor

So, Sima

What role am l playing today?

A businessman passing through the town

And you?

Your attendant

Brother! Oh no!

l'm here!

no way!

lsn't she learning meditation with the Withered Tree Monk?

Oh-no! Brother!

She's coming. Think of something

Brother!

good morning afternoon evening

lt's alright. Please Princess

You may rise

Brother, why didn't you ask me

Why l greet you for the morning, afternoon and evening all at once?

Well...

You all say behind my back that l talk too much

So l just said everything at once

To reduce the number of times you need to hear me speak

Do you think l'm clever? Let's take a walk around

Sure

Brother, am l really that annoying?

lf l am, you have to tell me

You still have to tell me if l'm not

l mean, you need to tell me

Whether l am or not

Or else l really wouldn't know

Brother, why don't you say something?

Why?

Haven't l explained myself clearly enough?

Do l need to say it again?

Oh, by the way

You haven't asked me

Why l'm not with the Withered Tree Monk

One day, he told me

That when he met me, he finally realized

His 50 years of meditation training is nothing

Because l can talk till a withered tree sprout

Why can a withered tree sprout?

Why? And so will it flower too?

Brother, tell me why

Doctor!

Doctor, why are you here?

What are you doing here?

Tell me

goodness!

Lord ning is arriving!

Long live the Empress!

Please rise

Thank you, Empress

l had a bit to drink last night and woke late

You know my son

Can still be immature in his ways

He still needs to consult you in many matters

Cue the thief!

Your money bag is gone

Thief...

Thief...

Thief!

My things have been stolen!

Thief!

You idiot! Stop!

Stop right there!

Untie me, quickly

Stupid thief!

How dare you!

Commit robbery in the middle of the day?

lt's a serious offense!

What's it going to do with you?

You... you're for real?

So what, huh?

You hit me so hard?

With real kung-fu?

lt wasn't full strength

no? Well it hurts!

Look, your saliva

What about it?

Look at yourself

Even though you're a thief

As a doctor

l have duty to cure you

l'm all better!

Thank you for saving my life, doctor

l'm all better now

Much better than l was

Stop!

lt's too touching

As a sheriff

Catching thieves is my duty

As for you, doctor

Saving lives is your duty

So if we all do our jobs right

There wouldn't be injustice in the world!

Emperor!

All hail the Emperor!

All hail the Emperor!

Well done!

As civilians

We are only able to do what we're supposed to

All because of

The Emperor's diligent leadership

We can live a stable and happy life

All hail the Emperor!

All hail the Emperor!

Stop!

Why is there music?

And dancing?

Emperor

Music and dance are ways

That the people thank the Emperor for his work

lt's not at all rehearsed

Please understand, Emperor

Really?

Emperor

Our country is at peace

You bestow good things on people

And answer their requests

They have boundless love for you

Which is why there is singing and dancing

lt is to express their respect for the Emperor

Are you done?

Commander Chen

What kind of sheriff are you?

Bashing up a petty thief

Like that with such vengeance?

Emperor, you know

His head is like a metal helmet

Swords simply cannot hurt him

Oh?

Really?

Emperor

lf you find him injured in any way at all

l'm willing to be punished

Lying to the Emperor is a fatal crime

Mind your words

Look at this

What is this?

A nail

You're dead

Doctor, you shouldn't have much to laugh about

What did you just do?

l did the honorable deed

Of saving a thief

l applied two needles

See, l saved him

lsn't his body resistant to swords?

Then how did your needles work?

Obviously you're lying

How dare you!

Please Emperor, please!

Today Commander Chen injured a thief

Doctor Wang helped create a false story

Which the diligent Emperor saw through

Are you done?

Yes

lt's your turn

Re-enact the burglary scene

Yes, Emperor

Thief...

Thief!

What do you two think of his acting?

There's no heart in it

lt's too exaggerated and not in character

What's worse is, you startled me

Another crime!

Emperor, it's my fault

guards!

Lock them up and await my judgment

Please forgive us, Emperor

Emperor...

Kill me if you wish but dare not insult me!

The Emperor was blinded

The loyal Lord Sima did not compromise

He must die noble

Emperor, you've abused your powers

lt's a sign that you'll let the country fall

What are you still doing here?

get out, l'll lock you all away

Mother

Why you've to see me

ln such haste?

lt's about your marriage

l haven't even left the palace

Before your father died

He created Civilian Street

So that you could see the world

And understand civilian life from the palace

That's all child's play

l want to get a taste of the real world

Excuse my frankness

Your safety is a matter of the state, Emperor

You cannot just leave like that

But isn't our country safe?

Still acting like a child

How can you be so immature about marriage?

The princess is from Xingping

You'll sure like her

Since l can't joke around about marriage

Then we must

Be serious about this

We'll need to meet first, then plan a while

And tell the world,

Stop right there, we...

Mother

l'm not asking you to fight in war

Don't worry

The girl l'm introducing

ls unique in both

Looks and figure

Mother...

Announcing Princess Xinping

Announcing Princess Xinping

Emperor

This princess is indeed a lady

Uncle, don't joke around

You know Mother's taste

Emperor, look

She's tall, slender and curvaceous

You've really got yourself something

greetings, Emperor

She is indeed a beauty. A beauty...

Like an angel

Uncle, come

Look

This meat is tender

Have some vegetables

Look, Brother

They look much too comfortable for prisoners

They're having a feast

All hail the Emperor!

Changci

Help me keep a watch outside

What secret code should we use?

Just clap

Alright!

Please forgive us, Emperor

lf you dare behave like this right under my nose

goodness knows

What it's like out in the real world

l'll give you two options

One

You will be beheaded tomorrow

l will certainly choose the second then

Emperor

l've been practicing kungfu for over a decade

Precisely because l don't want to die

What about you Sima?

Huh!

Well it depends on the second option

That is you take me

On a real undercover civilian patrol

We can't do that Emperor

lt's a drill, just want to know if the clap was loud enough

What are you doing

You're freaking me out

get lose!

Please excuse my frankness

But if leave like that

lt will affect the stability of the country

lt mustn't happen!

l can't force you to come with me

Emperor, l've always been loyal

And followed your lead

Protecting you unconditionally

Commander Chen and Doctor Wang

Both cowardly

Shoeshiners who will betray their countries

lt's not truth!

You're the betrayer indeed!

Stop playing around!

The most important thing now

ls to get me out of the palace

Emperor, it's all prepared

This hole will lead you outside the palace

You wanted to break out from the prison?

lt's Commander Chen's idea

He made the hole with a punch

Well done!

l was encouraging him too

Let the Emperor in

Watch me!

Emperor, could you come back out a little?

Alright

Please, Emperor

Let's go. Brother

Brother, l want to go too

no

You know l talk too much

Aren't you afraid l'll spill?

Are you threatening me?

You threatened me to get me in

l'll threaten you to take me out

Let's call it even

Alright

We'd better get out quick together

Please, this way, Emperor

Please

ln order to escape

The Emperor

Used filthy methods to leave palace

Two shoeshining subjects

Dared help the escape

Shame on them

We'll come back to pay our respects next year

As the royal historian

l must leave behind my fears

To ensure that history

ls complete

good!

The honest royal historian

Braves the escape from the palace

Despite having had to lower himself to such level

Lord ning

The Horse Soldiers have hunted another chicken

And the Sky Battlers got two wild rabbits

lt's too cruel, leave...

Yes!

ln fact the Lord loves animals

But to train the soldiers

He hid his pain and came hunting

lt's a shame the Emperor ran away

Lord ning

Must think of other ways

ln order to keep the country in order

Did you know

lf others overheard

What you said just now

They'd think that l'm a rebel

Lord ning

Even the Emperor had to run away from this marriage

Anything can happen

l'm certain

lf you had the pleasure of meeting the Princess

That you'd have run more quickly than the Emperor had

She's unbelievably ugly

l've been round the block a few times

But l've never been so scared

Even now

My heartbeat is still irregular

Lord ning

lt seems the Emperor does deserve our sympathy

Sympathy, indeed

But plans need to be made

Since that boy no longer wishes to be Emperor

Then as his uncle, l shall take his place

Hahaha

lt's easy for him to leave

But for him to get back will be difficult

Jiangnan

ls really as pretty as a picture

Complete with good looking girls

Upon arriving in Jiangnan

Mr. Em has only been concerned with having a good time

neglecting the sorrows of people

ln line with his hopeless nature

Sima

Are you documenting history

Or just blackening my name?

Em

l'm just stating the facts

l can't change white into black

Or black into white

Will you two

Come and help me a little?

l've been carrying this all alone

From Beijing to Jiangnan

Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?

You're a kungfu master

You're fit and healthy

Stop pushing!

Stop!

lf l get angry, one strike and l'll

Bring down a whole mountain, right

Shut up

Sima, what are all these

Young girls doing?

Ah, Mr. Em...

This is the world's oldest occupation

They've distilled centuries of culture

lt's a great place for us scholars

To gain inspiration

ls that so?

Yes, Mr. Em

lt's perfect for you to build your stamina

lt'll help you live longer

Simply put, this is ''Prostitution''

Oh

l'm leaving

Wait! Wait for me!

Wait

go for him

Quick!

Mr. Em, what are you doing?

That's going overboard

Painless tooth extraction?

As a seasoned doctor

l can only perform extractions that are less painful

This guy says

He can perform a painless one?

You can try. Try it

You can really

Do a painless tooth extraction?

The whole town knows

You have a tooth that needs to be extracted?

l have a bad one here

What colour string would you like?

Black

Just smell this powder and it won't hurt

lt didn't hurt, did it?

My tooth didn't, but my face does!

not my business, you can go see another specialist

Wen, your painting skills

Have improved greatly

l've been practicing for so many years

At last there's a purpose for it

Done

Allow me to write a few words

Let's get ready for work

go and take a look

My turn

Excuse me!

What's this?

lt's a magic box

A magic box?

Whatever you put inside will disappear

Fantastic! Excuse me...

Em, you were so rude

Leaving me all alone back there

With those girls. lt wasn't fun at all

What's going on here? Tell me now

You can't leave me behind when you'd all the fun

Tell me

This box can make anything disappear

Then it must have some kind of trap or hidden compartment

Or simply a tunnel beneath it

Or you have an assistant

Right inside

Since you're so curious

Why don't you go take a look yourself?

go on, try it out

Yes, go in

l'm no coward

So make me disappear

go!

She's really gone!

give me 5 silvers and l can make him come back

Oh, no no no!

Here!

Have these 50 silvers and make sure she won't be back

That's it

Let's go!

How clever of you Mr. Em!

Come... small bets can make your life better

Large bets can do well to the country

Come bet if you're free, you'll have prosperity

Come bet if you're busy

And you'll get a Britney

We've seen a lot of hardship all the way

At last we've reached this pleasant town in Jiangnan

And why do you say so, Mr. Em?

lt's so easy to do business here

Look

Open!

Pay up...

What is it sir?

lt's called ''Fish, Prawn, Crab''

lt's a form on gambling

Bumpkin

Quit talking, place your bets

l want to try too

My mother said, nine out of ten gambling games are frauds

l'll just observe

give it a try

Come on

Hands off

gourd! All hands off deck now

Prawn! Prawn...Hands off

Open!

l'll kill you

Pay up...

Pay up... Again!

My mother said gambling is harmful

ln mild cases you lose some change

ln extreme cases you can lose a home

Mr. Em, don't lose yourself

You should play too

l don't have any money

Even if l did

l won't engage in lowly activities like these

How dare...

Fish...Hands off

Open Fish...

gourd again!

Open!

Fish again!

Such bad luck!

How could that be? lt's been more than a dozen times!

Pay up!

Sir

Why have you had such good luck?

You've been winning every time

lt's not luck. l can see

See?

See!

gee, who dropped their silvers?

Thank you!

l keep dropping money today

Wow

lt just keeps dropping

l'm putting everything down

Quick, whatever you have

l'll put my head down!

Open!

You all want me to go bankrupt?

Bet a head, pay a head

Stop!

What?

l'm going to bet too!

Didn't you say you're broke?

lt's my retirement savings

Didn't you say nine out of ten gambling games are frauds?

This is the tenth

Didn't you say it would harm people?

lf l didn't know the result it would be gambling

now that l do, it's an investment

Open!

Open! Money!

Hands off

Ha Ha Ha

Open!

Ha Ha Ha Three prawns

Damn! We've lost everything

What should we do?

What are you all doing?

gambling in public?

Stop right there!

Run!

Where is everyone?

Why are we running?

We're good people, it's not our fault

We're just educating the locals

So that they don't get cheated on

Yes, l almost forgot

Excuse me, where are the victims?

They ran away faster than we did, all gone now

Yes, they ran really quickly

As if we were con artists

need not look for them

So it turns out they're the real con artists

no wonder they had to run so quickly

What does that mean?

Why is there a jade seal?

The Emperor?

lt's so light

These guys even tried to impersonate the Emperor

They are certainly con artists

lndeed, Brother Tang

Let's go for tea. Hold on

Come back

Leave the valuables with us

lt's pretty heavy

Let's go

Let's go

lt's still a jade

Zhu Zhi-shan!

Who said that Zhu was here?

Who said it?

Who said it?

Lucky l was bending down

Zhu Zhi-shan!

l don't think they can recognize my butt

Don't think l can't recognize your butt!

He dove into the river!

Actually, why are we running?

We're officials

And you're the Emperor

Oh yeah. Damn straight

Don't be silly

lt'd be over if our identities are exposed

Yeah

You're right

l'm hungry now

Let's look for a place to eat

But we lost all our money

l even lost my retirement savings

Then how about the snacks in our luggage?

Why are you holding that? Where are the snacks?

You're useless

Why are you carrying a pole but not the luggage?

And you blame me?

lf only you'd helped with the pole

Then l would have been able to...

Why are you feeling me?

Why are you even alive?

Climb the chicken mountain and we'll get a big meal

get a what?

A big meal!

Excuse me, what big meal?

The chicken mountain

lt's a big event on the Pauper Clan's calendar

Yes, it only comes once a year

lt's when our stomachs are the fullest

Let's go as well!

Yes!

You're going too?

You're not part of the gang

Climb the chicken mountain and we'll get a big meal

lt smells so good!

l can't stand it anymore

l must get that king of Chickens

Sir, don't worry

l'll help you up to get the chicken

lt's alright, l can do it myself

l've been practicing kungfu since l was a kid

l even invented Farmer's Three Punches

lt's unbeatable

Even the royal guards aren't good enough

no one can stop me

Mr. Em, the guards...

Were just afraid to fight back

Are you saying that l'm actually no good?

Of course

no...

not!

So you're looking down on my Farmer's Three Punches?

no...

Or looking down on me?

l don't dare...

l'm going up no matter what

The decision is made. Do not interfere

Or else l'll have your entire family beheaded

Commander Chen insulted the Emperor

And leads to a threat for his entire extended family

lt's time!

Don't! You'll have your whole family killed

Doctor, give me a needle

needle! Yes!

Hold on...

Look

Mountain Mover

You'll kill your whole family

So be it!

lf anything happens to Mr. Em

We'll still die!

Mountain Mover...Wait

l have an idea

Where's the Commander?

A mysterious knight showed up

Mr. Em is no longer in danger

Thank you for saving my life

Mountain...

Mover....

lt turns out that the mysterious knight

Was Commander Chen

With a strategy planned by the Doctor

going against the Emperor's wishes

Should cause their entire family's death. You...

lt has nothing to do with the royal historian

Yes it has!

We need to save the Emperor

Mr. Em!

Mr. Em!

You're dead meat

He looks like he's crazy

Phoenix be careful, it might be contagious

l'm not crazy

My head hurts, and l can't really remember much

Then what's your surname?

Ridiculous! Zhu is a royal name

You're even more scary than my mother

Why are you as stubborn as a bull?

And you've got as much manners as a vegetable!

Thank you!

You're not wearing much, take this

Hey, what are you doing?

l'm tugging the cloak

Phoenix

Even though you look vicious

But l can tell that you're really kind

And gentle too

But can you add a couple of pieces of meat?

Beef, lamb or pork will do, or even chicken

Have you really lost your memory?

l'm not sure

l remember some things, but not others

You don't look like a beggar

l don't think l'm a beggar

Alright

You should stop saying your surname is Zhu

Then what's my surname?

My family name is Lee

My brother's name is Jet, let's call you

Bruce

There's trouble at Treasure Shop

Hurry!

Open the door!

The door's been locked from the inside

Open the door!

Sister, help me

Jet!

Who dares to mess with my Treasure Shop?

Phoenix, l've heard you're a rational person

l'm not here to make trouble

l'm here to discuss

Do you need weapons to discuss?

Don't blame me

lt's your brother who stabbed me with a chopstick first

Liar!

He tried to kidnap me first, then l stabbed him

Shut it!

Would he come for you if you're innocent?

Phoenix, you are rational indeed

Hit the gong!

Stop!

Phoenix, thank you for the noodles

Even though they were a bit bland

lt got better as l ate it

You're so kind and willing to help others

What can l do for you?

Just put the bowl down and leave

Here?

That's fine

Are you kidding me?

Ah!

You...

You...

He stabbed you, you stabbed him, that's fair

Yes!

But this bowl didn't do anything to you

And you smashed it, that's not fair

l've never believed in fairness!

How dare you!

Punish someone illegally in the middle of the day?

Don't you have respect for the law?

Kid, who are you anyway?

l...

l don't know who l am

But Phoenix just gave me a new name

l'm Bruce... Lee!

He looks so cool even when he's fallen

Really?

Hero, you look like you need a weapon

Take this

He looks so cool!

Looks like short weapons don't suit you, let's give you a...

nun-chickens!

Will it work?

Use both!

Stop!

lf he owes you money, l'll pay for him

That's all l was waiting to hear

Let him go first

How much does my brother owe you?

Two thousand taels

What? You...

lt was two hundred!

lt's written clearly in the contract

How much the interest is

l didn't trick him

lf you give me Treasure Shop, it'll all be cleared

lmpossible

lt's not up to you to say no!

Treasure Shop is my life's work

lf you dare take it, you'll have to take my life too

l'll pay you back in 7 months

Two thousand one hundred taels

no bargaining

Alright!

Let's go

lf you don't keep your promise

Jet, are you alright?

You only helped because of me, right?

What's happening?

Don't worry

What's there to worry about?

l might have lost my memory, but l'm not stupid

Treasure Shop will do good business

l think...

The most important thing is that the food tastes good

l can't cook, but...

l've eaten all sorts of good food

Are you serious?

Of course

lf l remember correctly

That Bruce Li

Has taken over my kitchen

Saying he wants to try new dishes

What an insult to my cooking!

This is called

Blossoming deer!

Come, come

Served with civet

l'll count it as my investment in Treasure Shop

Really? Sure

Excuse us

Allow me to introduce to you

Mr. McFortune

The owner of the mightiest

Most delicious restaurant that's opposite

The renowned Kentacky

lt's amazing that even Mr. McFortune from the famous Kentacky

Wants to try dishes at Treasure Shop

l have 270 branches nation-wide

l just want to tell this good man

He should invest on Kentacky instead

ln less than 3 days

This Treasure Shop will be devoid of treasures

And have to close its doors for good

Let's go

We've informed you already

Phoenix, forgot what l said to you

Wait... Mr. McFortune!

Liars!

What happened?

Don't worry, l have a plan

Phoenix, give me your hand

What do you want?

no

l just want to give you my new menu

Look

With these new dishes

We can release one a day

Who cares about Kentacky?

We'll gobble him up

Ever since returning from Taixing Mountain

My Eighteen Chops

Have never seen such an insult!

Then what do you suggest, Eighteen Chops?

We'll send them a declaration of war!

Sending with an arrow? That's classy

You do it!

Me?

l might kill him

But l...

Shoot! Are you scared?

Alright, l'll shoot

They even dared to shoot a declaration of war across

lt was chaos

There were so many people and horses

You can't blame me for saving the wrong person

lt's your fault!

Everyone was fighting

And you were there hiding away and drawing

lt was hard to depict the situation with words

Drawing was the best method

What's that you draw?

l couldn't have recorded anything without diagrams

Look...

At least you can draw clearer

There may have been a tiny clue to lead us

But these are nothing

How am l going to look for him?

You're blaming me now? Alright then

The shoe shining Commander Chen failed to protect

And lost the Emperor

And even insulted the royal historian. l'm a shoeshiner?

Take your leave

You said l was a shoe shiner?

lf you keep writing nonsense, l'll...

My pen is my sword. l'll kill you with my words!

So the shoe shining Commander now wants to murder the royal historian

The latter refuses to retreat

My sword is my pen!

Don't think that l won't dare offend you

l'll thrust this right in you!

l'll write your death! l'll thrust this right in you!

Hush now

Have a look! Our dog suddenly fell pregnant

And gave birth to a black dog

Tell me who did this?

There are only two black dogs in the entire town

Old Liu has one, but he was neutered long ago

Chen the textile trader is the one you want

l'm going to him right now

One tael per question? next

Quick...

So heavy

now tell me straight

Where is Mr. Em?

l don't know who Mr. Em is

You're as stubborn as a dead duck

Alright then, l'll play your game

Let's play Smashing Boulder with Chest

no...

lt should be Smashing Chest with Boulder

You're so creative; no wonder you're a royal...

A royal pain in the ass you are! Where's the boulder?

You didn't ask me to prepare one

Doesn't matter then, let's use a duvet

Duvet...

We don't have that, how about this?

What?

Do you want to kill him?

At least we can scare him

lf you don't move, it won't hurt

Spit it out

l'm sorry

You leave us with no choice

You're amongst friends

You've always helped us before

l'll do it, l won't go too hard

l don't know you at all

Don't be like that

Stop, stop it

We're all civilized people

Why should we get violent?

Stand back

Stand back!

Young man, we're really in a hurry to find Mr. Em

lf you can help us

l'll give you 200 taels as a reward

200 taels is perfect

Young man

But l'm not sure if you're sincere about this

That's fair

You think so? Yes

Alright then, leave us with 10 taels as a guarantee

We'll give you the guarantee and reward afterwards

This is... l...

Don't worry, we keep our words

We won't take more than we need

Thank you then, give us some good news

go on then

get on with it!

go! Shoo!

Will this fat guy report us to the authorities?

And say we stole from him?

We had a legitimate deal

There's nothing to be afraid of!

Besides, with all our make-up

Even our own mothers wouldn't recognize us

You think he won't report us

We are now wanted criminals?

l told him clearly that it was just a guarantee

Southerners are such barbarians

l just wanted to get him to talk

Which would have been clean and easy

lt's all because of you silly scholar

And your stupid tactics

And now we are in this mess

We had so much make-up on

How can they recognize us?

You three are wanted criminals

You can recognize us?

Look...

lt's okay

We're such a good match

One look and you'll see it's genuine

lt's worth your trip

May l ask who your father is?

Mr. Chen, please rise

You think my father's the Emperor?

He's just a stamp maker in the courts

So have you seen the stamp?

lt's damaged and not of the highest quality, so...

How much is it worth?

lt's priceless

lt belongs to the royal court

l'm afraid l can't take it

lt's time for me to go

Mr. Chen...

Just give me a price

How can l put on price on something that's priceless?

lf you're not going to take it, then at least pay for the meal

Alright, alright, l'll pay

goodbye Mr. Chen

His name is Zhu Zhi-shan

Zhu Zhi-shan?

One of the Four Retards of Jiangnan

He's just wandering around and is full of good-for-nothing ideas

And he's an awfully greedy smooth talker

l've told you many times

Quit being a loan shark

And you just ignore me!

Cousin, l can't even get my capital back

You tell me if you think this is high-interest?

A borrower must repay his debts

This Zhu Zhi-shan

l'll definitely chop him up to 19 pieces if l see him!

There's something l don't understand

You do Eighteen Chops, so why 19 pieces?

One chop splits him into two, two chops makes three

So 18 chops will split him into 19

You can't even count

Why are you in the credit business?

goodbye! Oh no!

Oh no...

lt's a disaster

This is the menu from Kentacky, have a look

Why is it exactly the same as ours?

Oh yes

Our menu's been leaked

That's impossible, only us few have seen it

nothing is impossible

l want to show everyone the menu

So l suspect...

That someone in Treasure Shop

One of us

ls a double agent

Whoever betrays Treasure Shop

Deserves my Eighteen Chops!

lt's not you, right?

You're probably just accusing others to cover for your guilt

Let me through, l'll chop you up!

Calm down...

We need evidence

That's why l gather everyone

To find out who the double agent is

But don't forget, you read the menu too

For fairness, l think...

Bruce should be the one investigating the case

Me?

He writes the menu

You won't leak it

Right?

Yes, yes

And this restaurant belongs to Phoenix

So she can't have leaked it either

So how about Phoenix and l investigate this together

good! Everyone stays in Treasure Shop today!

lt's good that that crazy guy isn't around

l should leave through the back door

lt's locked

You think you can beat me

With a lock like this? l could unlock it when l was 3

Alright, l'll wait

Will it work?

People who feel guilty

Won't be able to withstand the pressure

And will try to escape

Whoever gets caught by the trap is the double agent

lf l find out who designed this lock

l'll hack his hand off!

Since l can't leave from the back, l'll go from the front

Since l can't go from the front, l'll climb out a window

l won't give in, l can do it

What are you doing?

nothing

Just fantasizing

That hurt! Can't l even fantasize?

lt's certainly no decent thoughts anyways

l'm a refined, educated man

l know my manners

l can do it

l know l can do it

Something's happening. l'm going to go have a look

lt was me!

l admit it!

lt was me who leaked the menu!

What is it... l admit it

lt was me

l was the double agent

l was the double agent

l was the double agent Fatty...

Calm down... calm down, listen to me!

lf you want to kill me then go ahead

But before l die...

Just give me a nice, big meal

Fatty! Fatty!

Fatty!

She's not the double agent, she's just starved

Make her something to eat

Thank you Phoenix!

Thank you Phoenix!

This is safer

Wait for you at 3am, l got a surprise for you

l didn't think l'd ever have such luck

ls it Bruce?

Uh-huh

You're so naughty

You even got into my bed

Who is it?

She's sleeping so early

What are you doing in my room?

You told me to come in

That note wasn't meant for you

Who's that for?

Don't come any closer!

Tell me who's that for? l'll chop him up into pieces!

Actually.. l...

l...

You have pretty hairy legs

What?

l... l was born like this

Let me help you shave

gui! gui?

gui, what are you doing?

What...

What's happening?

What?

Bruce?

Aren't you in bed with me?

You're in bed with her?

l'm in bed with you?

Who are you?

You dare asking who l am? Ha!

How dare you!

l don't care who you are, l'm going to kill you!

Hold it right there

gui!

Look

A stamp?

lt's a jade seal

A jade seal?

Are you all thick?

l am the Emperor

Patrolling undercover in Jiangnan

Whoever dares to offend me

l'll have their entire family beheaded

You... look like someone

Who?

Like Zhu Zhi-shan!

Bring it here

What can l say now?

So my brother's name is Zhu Zhi-shan!

One of the reasons why

l've come to Jiangnan

ls to look for my long lost twin brother

You must let me know if you see him

And take good care of him

And you'll be greatly rewarded

You've accomplished a great task, bow to receive your honors

Thank you Emperor!

What's wrong? Bow!

All hail the Emperor!

When the Emperor grant you honors

You mustn't raise your heads

now, l, the Emperor

Will grant you the title of Royal Cleaver guar

Present your cleaver

Yes!

Oh no, the Emperor's gone

l've never heard of

An Emperor who ran away

After granting someone a title

Yeah

l'm so stupid. He must have been an imposter

But that jade seal looks real

Weird! l think this...

Bruce...

What are you looking at?

l think... l'm not sure where...

But l think l've seen this thing before

You've seen this before?

Do you think you're the Emperor?

Where's my cleaver?

Without my sword l am nothing...

Without my sword l am dead!

Alright, calm down!

Let me get this straight

And question you one by one

That sounds logical. Let's do it

lt's impossible that l did this

Let me go first

Everyone look

The declaration of war?

You...

How very arrogant!

They actually sent over their new menu

How did that happen?

lt was you!

Please

Kentacky! We're so happy to be tacky!

Kentacky! We'll bring our swords and start hacking!

l'm gonna kill you!

l'm gonna kill you!

l'm gonna kill you!

Kill! Kill!

Jet, what's happening?

They're playing seafood

So we're playing wild game

Our wild game

Will definitely beat you stinky seafood

Kill! Kick them!

nonsense!

Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Oh what?

For Treasure Shop

l can do anything, even reveal my naked body!

gui!

Bring him back!

Hang up the lettuce bouquet!

lnside there is 100 taels

lf you get it, it's yours

That's our sign!

Stop it!

Stop it... Stop...

My sign...

Phoenix, l'm here

Bruce?

Watch me!

Where's the lettuce?

Oh no, quickly,

Help, my sign!

Stop it

Catch me!

Tear the sign down!

My sign... my sign!

Don't worry, l'm here

Sir, this is your soup

There's a cockroach in the soup!

What? What?

Come over and have a look

There's a cockroach...What's the matter?

ln my soup

Calm down...

What's the matter?

lt's really a cockroach

A cockroach?

This...

Miu, why are you naked?

There's nothing

There's nothing

See, everyone says there's nothing

l can't find the cockroach

lt must've been your eyes. This is our very special

Chicken and fungus soup

We have quality and hygiene assurance

nothing like that could happen

lt was just a mistake

Everyone please return to your seats

Please everyone

lt's all finethank you

Pease return to your seats

There's a centipede!

goodness, a centipede this big

Could kill someone!

What's the matter?

Well...

Excuse me...

go have a look yourself

Well...

Please don't be alarmed, ladies and gentlement

This is our newest creation, a dish from Japan

Centipede sashimi?

lt's good for maintaining internal balance

And digestion

ln particular suitable for kids and women

And men will go ' bang! bang! bang!'

Why don't you eat it then?

Yeah sure... eat it...

Bravo!

Ladies and gentlemen...

You are about to witness a miracle

l'm fine!

Please don't worry

This is an exclusive performance

We've prepared for you

Let's start! Music!

One! Two! Three! Four!

Jet said he's on a high, and Daniel laughed

Daniel said he's digesting well, and Lou laughed

Lou said he's a smooth talker, and Fatty laughed

Fatty said she's a heavyweight, and gui laughed

gui said he has attention to detail, and Miu laughed

Miu said she talks sweetly, and Flora laughed

Flora said she's the most tender, and Phoenix laughed

Phoenix said she doesn't hit others, and Bruce laughed

Kentacky wanted to beat Treasure Shop, and all the pigs laughed

Kentacky wanted to beat Treasure Shop, and all the pigs laughed

And all the pigs laughed

Thank you...

Thank you...

Thank you, please pay here

lt's not my fault, my lips are swollen

Alright, alright...

Looks like the Emperor really has gone crazy

A pig's joke...

Let's see how long you'll be laughing for

Here

gui said this ointment is useful

He gave it to you?

Then hurry up and put some on

Alright

Dear Lord

Even though our shop has rich clients

Most of them have bad hearts

Smooth-talkers and liars

Bruce Li

Will you ever lie to me?

Of course not, you'd be the last person l'd dare lie to

He's the only one who's been true to me after all these years

Lord, please help Bruce

Help him get better soon

He's silly enough, and now he's all swollen up too

He'll be bullied when he's out

You're so kind, Phoenix

You're thinking too much

l just want you to leave sooner

Really?

l want you to leave, why you are still smiling?

ls that how much you want to leave?

l mean...

Oh no, Phoenix, your lips are swelling up too

Damn, l must've passed the swelling on to you

Sit down and let me help you put some ointment on

Or else Phoenix will be Piglet

Oh, Phoenix

Since our business is getting better

And we're earning more

l wanted to...

You want to get a raise, do you?

Of course not

l have food and shelter, that's all l need

What l was saying was

You give out 100 bowls of noodles to the poor everyday

Can we increase that to 200 from now on?

l've been poor and hungry before, so l understand...

lt's a really dreadful feeling, being so helpless

You are the reason for Treasure Shop's success

lt's fair enough if you'd like to get a raise

What would l do with money?

l want to give you this, look!

l wouldn't treasure cheap jewelry like these

lt's not a cheap jewelry

l've been wearing it all along

l think it's very valuable, keep it safe

Whether it's cheap or not

l'll still keep it safe and treasure it

l'm sure it's not a cheap fake

lt must be an heirloom

You believe that you can cheat me like that?

l said l wouldn't cheat you

Right

Seems like those guys won't give up so easily

Phoenix, you need to be cautious

You don't need to be afraid

Because l'll be here for you

You're so silly, but kind-hearted

l believe that you'll never lie to me

But if you do...

Be prepared to have cane marks all over you!

lt really hurts!

Of course!

Something's wrong with gui's ointment, my lips have gone numb!

l'm fine

l can't feel a thing

How about now?

Or now?

Oh no...

lt's okay

How about that? Bet you can feel it now

You hit my nose

Sorry, l didn't do it on purposelt hurts

l'm starving

Let's eat while we wait

l'm startingno!

This meal is made for Flora especially

l'm back!

How did it go, can he cure her?

We'd have to wait an hour to see if it worked

lt might fail?

There are two possibilities

One is that it will be cured

The other is that she'll become a mute

lf she becomes a mute

Then we won't have to listen to her strange squeaks anymore

lt'll be good for us too

Do you want to die?

l didn't say anything

Quick, undo her dressing

Here l'll do it

Try to say your name slowly

Flora

none of you can leave!

lt's him

Zhu is the royal surname

And sounds the same as 'pig'. Yet you dared to sing a song

Called 'A Pig's Joke'. Take him away!

Stay calm people!

Alright, l'll come with you

But this has nothing to do with them

Leave them alone

Take him!

Bruce...

This is fatal

Don't worry

l'll be fine

Phoenix

l'll be back very soon

Bruce...

Bruce...

Bruce...

He mocked the royal name!

An example for you all!

He mocked the royal name! Shame on him!

An example for you all! What's happening?

Excuse me...

He mocked the royal name! Shame on him!

Bruce... Bruce!An example for you all!

Stop!

Who was that?

Horrible man!

Hit him hard! Hit him death!

Hit him hard! Hit him death!

Hit him hard!

Don'tStop it

Stop throwing...

Don't...Stop throwing...

Stop it! Stop right now!

Stop right now!

Stop throwing...Don't..

What's happening?

That man insulted the Emperor

Being publicly humiliated is the least we can do to him

Ha!

l must record that in the royal history

His bad name will stay with him forever!

You deserve it!

Throw it at him! Here you go...

granny, your hands are shaking

Let me help you, give me an egg

got him!

got him again!

Just like a shooting star!

Hole in one!

Stop!

Stop it, all of you!

A command from the royal court

This man insulted the Emperor, his crime is serious

He must be beheaded immediately

guards! Swords!

lt's raining?

Emperor

Stop...

l'm here to serve you

Attack!

Wang, you're so heavy

Wake up Wang

Lucky l found your acupuncture needles

You're going to be fine!

You betrayer!

l'll see how you can get out of this!

l can't believe a little assistant like you

Can control an entire army, with important officials tagging along

Did the Emperor suddenly get better?

We might be in deep trouble now

Looks like you've got someone backing you

Lord ning found out

That someone was mocking the Emperor

And leading the public astray

So he sent me with the army

To surround you rebels!

You ignorant tyrant!

Do you know...

Let it go

lt's nothing you can do about it

Your mighty Mountain Mover kungfu

Does it actually work?

Yes of course!

Wang...

l didn't want to hurt you

That was how you saved people

Rest in peace

You've said so much

l'll really need to fight for my life

Look at all your men

They've fled for their lives

Where's everyone?

Mountain Mover!

Emperor!

Where did you go?

Why did you have to run along walls and all?

You could have taken a more direct route

Emperor, l just want to make it more imposing

This is something l invented...

Mountain Moving Canon!

Please light it! Alright!

Where's the fuse?

Sorry Emperor, l gave you the wrong side

Please light it, Emperor!

Here we go!

Emperor, l've come too late

My canon is useless

Bruce... Don't die!

What should l do with Treasure Shop without you?

Phoenix, don't worry

l promised l would be fine

Lord ning is arriving!

Phoenix

You still got the jade pen that l gave you?

Yes

Pull it open

When l ask you to do so

Emperor, how have you been?

l've been waiting for you

You still remember your Uncle?

All these time you've been pretending

With all your undercovers around, l had no choice...

McFortune

How did you get yourself exposed?

So what if l were exposed?

l've brought 5000 of my strongest men

You'd never leave this place

ls that so?

Phoenix, pull now!

Quick Phoenix!

Pull!

What's happening?

What are you doing?

nothing, l...

Royal guard no. 167 reporting for service!

Royal guard no. 290 reporting for service!

Royal guard no. 438 reporting for service!

Royal guard undercover in Jiangnan reporting for service!

l don't even need to count

300 strong army against my 5000 Royal guard

Compare to my experienced army

Your Royal guards

Are just a disorderly group of rebels

Uncle

You don't really believe that's all l've got, do you?

There's more

Yang ming

You were relegated to Suzhou. That's part of the plan too?

lndeed

l sold fish there for 3 years

Only so that l could wait for this very day

lt's not so easy to defeat me

Snipers!

Uncle, you underestimate me

Haven't you heard of my Dagger Society?

What Dagger Society? Shoot!

Daggers, attack!

Did you think only you had a strategy?

lt's a shame your own kungfu is no good

golden Wheel, Silver Spear, kill him!

Who are you?

That's me!

Before joining the Royal guard

l was the master of hidden weapons in the Tang clan

The Moral Tang, that's my name

You're joking!

When you were throwing eggs before

Your hands were shaking

Commander Chen, that's the Emperor l was throwing eggs and

Of course my hands would tremble

You should have told me

You were so indugded in your throwing

l didn't want to spoil your mood

Why are you still chatting? Attack!

Will you lie to me?

Of course not

You're the most sincere person l've ever known

l trust you

l wouldn't dare lie to you

Brass Cymbal, Metal Club, attack!

Emperor!

Emperor!

Damn! l've been tricked!

My pen is my sword

lt's made especially to you betrayers!

The things you've done today

Will be recorded forever in my royal history

Your name will be ruined

l'll write it for you

The shameless Lord ning is a greedy coward

He ran away into a cloud of smoke

Yang ming!

Yes Sir!

Capture the rebels!

Yes Sir!

Come with me!

How dare you Jet!

You kept winking to me before

As if you had plans

That's annoying

guards, take him to be beheaded

Please forgive me Emperor

l'm innocent!

Come back!

Tell me how have l been unjust?

Actually...

l'm actually a Royal guard too

You? A Royal guard?

l'm a reserved trainee

My trainee number is 1647

Test him

Yes, Emperor

This unidentified human

Really is a Royal guard trainee

But he only received one order

That Treasure Shop was having an important person

Which was why he winked at you as code

Emperor

guards, take him away

Why is he still being taken away?

Take him to deregister from the ranks

Your lack of talent

Will affect the reputation of the Royal guard

Emperor

lt's my dream to be in the Royal guard

Let's leaveMy dreams are gone!

Let's go!

The Emperor is arriving

All hail the Emperor!

Please rise, everyone

Thank you Emperor!

We're closed for today

Everyone can go home now

Let's go...

All hail the Emperor!

Please rise

The Treasure Shop is closed today

Please come back another time, Emperor

Phoenix

You've got to serve anyone who steps in

lt's not fair to send me away without serving me

Sir, what can l get you?

l would like a bowl of... plain noodles

Phoenix...

Phoenix...

Emperor, you should leave

l never wanted to lie to you

l was forced by the circumstances

l didn't do it on purpose

Stop right there!

Can't you forgive me?

You can hit me if you're angry

Or scold me if you want

At least give me a bad look

Don't ignore me like that

You knew that l hated people lying

not only did you lie to me, you even joined forced with my brother

And everyone else to lie to me

From Beijing to Jiangnan

How many people have you lied to?

no one! l've only lied to you!

That's even worse!

There are so many people you could have cheated

But you lied to me alone

You...Enough!

Alright then

Since you say so, l will lie to you

l've decided to lie to you for life

l will lie to come to the palace with me

l will lie to get you to be my Queen

l will lie to get you to have children with me

l will lie to live wonderful life with me

Come with me

Thank you, but no thank you

l forgot to tell you

My father handed this restaurant over to me before he died

And l promised him

That l will never give up Treasure Shop

You mean...

You won't come back to the palace with me?

Right, l understand

Remember what you said

Emperor...

Emperor...Emperor...

How did you go with my sister?

l'm sure it went very, very well

Should we choose a fine day...

To organise the marriage

Yes...Yes...

Tear the building down

What did you say

l said tear the Treasure Shop down!

How... how could you...

The Emperor failed in his quest for love and become vengeance

He is determined to tear down Treasure Shop

lndeed...

Being beside the Emperor is as dangerous as being beside a tiger

All of this

ls what l saw while in Jiangnan

But this time

You took a big risk

l know l've made you worry

But you can't catch a tiger without entering his cave

Mother, you didn't want me

To while my days away in the palace

As a useless Emperor, right?

What's that?

nothing... nothing

Mother, let's stroll that way

Oh no

We forgot about Princess Changci

What should we do?

The store owner left ages ago

Where should we start looking?

Yes, where should we begin?

Princess Changci!

When did you come back?

Just now

Where were you?

The Loess Plateau

How did you come back?

l walked

Her answers are so succinct

Mother

Come in for a seat

l'm meeting Princess Xingping

To take her around

Oh yes, l haven't thanked her in person yet

Princess Xingping is arriving

All hail the Emperor. Long Live the Empress!

Please rise, Princess

Thank you for your help last time

For turning yourself to such a ugly creature

You're most welcome, Emperor

We really caused you a lot of embarrassment

Princess you are indeed a unique beauty

l should have played along

With mother's marriage arrangements

lt's not too late now

Would you like me to arrange it again?

l was just joking

gui, what are you doing standing here?

As the Royal Cleaver guard

l must protect our Treasure Shop!

Like a security guard?

l'd secure your ass!

Off you go

Phoenix

Where were you?

nowhere

Really?

l thought you wanted to marry Princess Xingping?

How did you hear that?

What?

l was just kidding

Kidding?

Are you saying that l've wronged you?

l suppose you could say so

Come over here!

Don't do that, too many people around here

Everyone, leave us!

Don't go!

We had a deal

You're the Emperor out there

l'm the boss in Treasure Shop

A good man keep his promise

l won't ever lie to you

You just said

You were going to marry Princess Xingping

How dare you say you wouldn't lie to me!

You think l'm stupid?

l hate it when people tell lies

And look what you're doing

Enough!

l'm the Emperor

At least show some respect

You're right

now how about this?

lt hurts! lt hurts...

lf people saw me like this

How can l stand proud as Emperor?

There's only you and me here, who else can see?

And what if they saw?

l'd have them beheaded if they see us!

Jet, what are you doing here?

What did you see?

How come l can't see anything?

l've gone blind!

Can someone please tell me where l am?

Don't you take advantage as the Queen's brother

l'll still behead you

l can't hear either

What's the point of living

l'm gone!

Phoenix

Emperor

lf you have to kill everyone

Then you better kill all of them too

What?

Forgive us, Emperor...

You! All of you...

Hold it right there, all of you!

Don't act stupid!

Forgive me...Bruce Li, stop right there

l didn't lie. How dare you run?

You lied to me! You...

You'd better explain to me clearly

Stop itTry to run away?

Stop right there

lt's embarrassing

Whoever catches him can get free meal for a month!

Help!

Don't be like that...

Let's see where you can run to now!
