Episode 5

Who?

Who is that?

Honey.

Is that you?

Son, is that you?

Secret Spy 007 of the Imperial Guard

pays respect to Officer Jia.

Are you hurt?

Yes.

When Lord Ai of the Ministry of War was murdered,

I showed up to rescue him

and got hurt at that time.

You didn’t expose your identity, did you?

Rest assured. My Lord.

I was careful.

Good.

We haven’t found the military defense map till now.

I guess

it must have been delivered to the man

who determined to have it.

Do you mean

Yang Yinglong in Bozhou?

We have no evidence.

We can’t say it’s him.

I know.

Once Yang Yinglong got the map,

he must understand

the Hu County, as the key in the east of Guizhou,

is essential to him

if he is ambitious to

win the world and become the emperor.

So he must cast his greedy eyes

on the Hu County.

Hua.

You will bear

heavier load on your shoulder.

If anyone wants to

control the Hu County,

I’m afraid I can’t stop him

as a hunter.

I understand.

About this,

I will report to Lord Yu.

I wil ask him to send an official here

to control the situation.

And you only need to

cooperate with him in the dard.

As you wish.

Brother Xu.

I’m back.

How about it?

I made it.

I have dosed

three bags of sleeping drug into their water vat.

Even if a big cow drinks the water,

it will fall asleep soon.

Were their family at home?

No.

Only the old woman

was at home.

I watched outside after dosing.

One hour later,

the man came back.

I saw they were cooking,

but I didn’t see their son.

I guess

he was going hunting.

They can run but they can’t hide.

So I hope you can

do it once again.

Fine.

We can killl the two old people first.

Let’s go.

Let’ go.

Brother Xu.

Why did you do it so fast?

Why not burn their house

and make it a scene of fire.

You don’t understand.

I just want to hang them

over there and

let all people see what they are going to be like

if they go against Master Qi.

Xu Lin beat you?

My Lord.

Xu Lin was not home.

I just wanted to ask where he was,

but his younger sister

shouted abuse

and said dirty words.

I had no idea

but quarrelled with her.

Then she beat me.

You were beaten by a women?

Did she know kongfu?

No.

But she is a woman.

I won’t beat women.

You deserve it.

You are so useless.

Even if you want to show your demeanour,

you should show it in a proper occasion.

If you

beat your wife at home,

I will look down upon you.

But you are a law executor.

You only need to judge between right and wrong,

not man and woman.

Yeah.

You’re right.

You didn’t arrest Xu Lin?

He was not home.

Don’t come back untill you arrest him.

He can run but can’t hide.

You take several men

to wait around his house.

Arrest him and take him back once you see him.

Yes,

My Lord.

He dares to kill people

in public?

Punish him severely.

We must punish him severely.

Please rest assured.

I have cast a net.

I believe

we will arrest him soon.

Well.

Who is this murder?

He is just a rogue.

Maybe

a follower of Qi Mu.

Qi Mu?

My Lord.

Are you okay?

Lord Ai.

You’d better

put the case aside.

I will assign you another important mission.

My Lord.

This is about people’s life.

What’s more important than this case?

You’re right.

It’s because this is a murder,

I ask you to put it aside.

My Lord.

Are you afraid?

You’re so bold.

Don’t forget who you are.

Just ring your bell.

You should know that.

My Lord.

I know who I am.

But others don’t know.

If I just ignore it,

people will scold me.

If so,

I will bring dishornor to my parents.

My Lord.

Aren’t afraid that people may scold you?

Hang it all!

Hand this case over to Lord Meng.

Do you hear me?

This tiger skin

is so good.

You are so minded.

Master Qi.

You are flattering me.

It’s my great honor

to serve you.

Brother Xu.

You are really capable.

Now under the wings of Master Qi,

we will have a promising future.

Do you think so, buddies?

Right.

Brother Xu.

You are wanted now.

Wanted?

For what?

You killed that fatty.

What?

He died?

Brother Xu.

You don’t need to be afraid.

You are under Master Qi’s protection.

They don’t dare to arrest you.

I am not afraid.

I just think

why that fatty is so weak.

The Shift Head Zhou took his people to your home

and even fought with your younger sister.

What?

How about my younger sister now?

She is fine.

No one can take advantage of her.

The Yamen runners here have guts now.

Brother Xu.

You are now

the No. 1 celebrity in the Hu County.

Your younger sister was bullied by others,

you can turn a deaf ear,

but we can’t.

Do you think so, buddies?

Right.

We can’t just let it go.

That bastard.

Buddies.

Since we have nothing important to do,

let’s go.

Go with me and teach him a good lesson.

Let’s go.

Big brother.

Big brother.

Big brother.

You are so early.

You didn’t beat the streets, did you?

I went to the bank and

exchanged some silver for you.

Silver?

This is my respect for you.

This is Yamen.

People will think I am accepting your bribes if they don’t know the truth.

Li Yuncong.

Tell Shift Head Zhou that

I am going to beat the streets.

Ask him to find me

after he arrests Xu Lin.

Yes, My Lord.

I will

take revenge for sure.

Wish you a brisk business.

I’m leaving.

Okay.

Daheng.

You’ve already have one grocery.

Why do you have to buy another one?

Big brother.

You don’t know that.

I want to open a big grocery.

I will dismantle the partition wall

between them later.

It’s just a grocery.

Do you need to make it big?

Big brother.

You can be my big brother.

But you are not capable of doing business.

The business...

Alright.

Let’s talk about it some other day.

I have business to do.

I’m leaving.

Big brother.

Get lost.

Li Yuncong.

Wish you a brisk business.

Go to hell.

I’m going to open my store in two days.

The king of grocery in the Hu County should be me.

Excuse me?

Do you know

how to go to the mansion of Master Qi?

I don’t know.

Step aside.

Lord Ai.

Something happened to Shift Head Zhou.

What happened to him?

Xu Lin came back yesterday.

When he heard that Shift Head Zhou fought with his younger sister,

then he went to find troubles,

and beat him up.

He broke Shift Head Zhou’s leg.

I don’t know whether he could walk or not.

Where is he? Take me to see him.

Yes, My Lord.

This way.

This way, My Lord.

Lord Ai is coming.

My Lord, please.

My Lord.

He is inside.

Uncle Zhou.

This is Lord Ai.

No need, uncle.

My Lord.

Don’t move.

You don’t need to say more.

I understand.

Uncle.

You take the silver to

buy some furniture you need

and

find him a good doctor

to cure his leg.

No.

I can’t take it.

I can’t take it, My Lord.

Uncle.

This money

is his subsidy for curing his leg.

If you don’t take it,

you will save it for the government.

And they will use it to enjoy themselves.

Well.

My Lord.

We never got

50 taels as the medical expanse.

Shut your mouth up.

Li Yuncong.

Uncle.

Just take it.

It’s better than we using it to have fun.

Thank you, My Lord.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, My Lord.

Take good care of yourself.

I’m leaving.

Lord Ai, please stay for a while.

My Lord.

When you just came here,

we all show disrespect to you.

We hope you can forgive us.

You treat Shift Head Zhou so kindly

and even took out your money

to help him.

We all feel appreciated.

Right.

Crap.

Do you think

I feel ashamed and

gave my money to him

when I saw he lying on the bed?

Bullshit.

Shift Head Zhou is a captor.

He should do his duty

to earn money.

Is there any problems?

I am the Judicial Clerk of Hu County.

When I recieve a report,

I send him to arrest the murderer.

Do you think I was wrong?

Is there any problems?

My Lord.

You shut up!

I know you dislike me.

But I still want to say that

we all feel sorry for

what Shift Head Zhou suffered this time.

Right.

You are generous

to help him deal with the urgent needs.

We really appreciate you.

Do you think we are wrong?

Appreciate?

Let me ask you.

Except appreciation.

Do you have

something else in your mind?

Except that,

we hope Shift Head Zhou will get well soon.

He got injuried this time.

We thank you to be so generous.

Or, his leg can’t be cured.

He is so lucky.

Right. You’re right.

You’re wrong.

Shift Head Zhou is a captor.

He was beaten by the younger sister of Xu Lin.

Later,

he was beaten by Xu Lin,

the murderer at home.

and even broke his leg.

Why?

Have you thought about it?

Why?

Why?

Why people don’t want to pay taxes?

Why are you scolded

when you go out to

carry out your mission every time?

You are captors.

If you can’t help people,

you are bullied by people,

then the people who need your help

will be bullied by others even harder.

Right.

People here are tough.

But even so,

they are afraid of some people.

They are not afraid of you.

When they meet people they are afraid of,

they will behave themselves well.

But you!

You coward.

No.

My Lord.

Xu Lin is under the wings of Master Qi.

What’s more, lords in Yamen...

Master Qi, lord...

You only know this.

Who the hell Master Qi is?

I am not afraid of him.

I’m telling you.

Since my childhood,

when I conflicted with the local gangsters,

I never kneeled down

even if I got severely injured

if my buddies could fight with me.

I can’t bear

to be humiliated by other.

Now, I’m going to deal with Xu Lin.

Who will go with me?

Lord Ai.

I will go with you.

And me.

I can’t

bear it any more.

Alright.

What about you?

We go with you.

Let’s go

We go to revenge

for our buddy.

Let’s go.

Let’s go.

Don’t cry.

Can you finish crying?

Can you be quiet for a while?

I will cut you into pieces if you keep crying.

You again.

Do you really think you can bully us?

You?

Where is Xu Lin?

Buddies.

Arrest him.

Go.

Let me go.

-Let me go. -Behave yourself.

Let me go.

You son of a bitch.

You dare to arrest me.

Do you know who I am?

I am Master Qi’s brother.

No matter who is your brother,

I will take you away for sure.

Who the hell are you.

You dare to beat me?

Take him away.

Go.

Go, behave yourself.

I’m going to sue you.

You...

You beat me.

I’m going to sue you.

Shhh.

I’m telling you.

Lord Ai is crazy.

He will be mad if he goes crazy.

He even beats me.

Can a crazy man become an offical?

Who do you scare?

Who tell you he can’t?

Even you local gangsters

call yoursleves good people.

Then crazy men can be officials.

You dare to go against Master Qi.

From today on,

there will be no Hua family in Qingshangou Village.

Hu County yamen

Cooperating with you in painting

is the best time in my life.

Hurry.

Uncle.

Beat the drum.

Who is making noise outside?

My Lord.

Lord Ai has arrested Xu Lin.

The Guo family is beating the drum.

My Lord.

Do you hear the drum beats?

Why don’t you hold the court trial?

I have an emerency to deal with.

You go out and see who is beating the drum

and why he does this.

I don’t want to be

interrupted by minor cases.

My Lord.

I come here this time just for this case.

The man who is beating the drum is from the Guo family.

The Murderer Xu Lin has been arrested.

It’s about people’s life.

It’s a big deal, My Lord.

I’ve said that

you hand over this case to Lord Meng.

Just leave it to him.

But the victim is crying about their grievances.

And the murder

is in presence of me.

I can’t just pretend to be blind.

Anyway, I have arrested him.

The victim is crying about their grievances.

You tell me what to do.

Ye Xiaotian.

Who tell you to arrest people at free will?

Who tell you to arrest him?

Lord Meng.

This is my job.

You...

Who do you think you are?

Have you forgotten you are...

I haven’t.

My Lord.

You told me

to forget my real identity

and try to behave like a real Judical Clerk.

I haven’t forgotten that.

Lord Meng.

You also hear that he is beating the drum.

All people here and

The neighbors have heard that.

We’d better hold a court trial.

How about that?

You have the final say

whether to hold the court trial or not.

Alright.

Let’s hold the court trial.

Men.

Bring me my costumes.

Hurry.

Wei Wu.

Who is beating the drum?

Take him on the court.

I pay my respect to you, My Lord.

Why do you beat the drum?

What grievance do you have? Just tell me.

My Lord.

You should help me.

Here is the thing.

I earnestly request you to help me.

He killed you son at public.

He is really hateful.

But

this is just a one-side story.

About the facts,

I need to find out.

Men.

Take the suspect Xu Lin to the court.

My Lord.

Do you think he can deal with the case impartially?

the case is clear enough.

The County Magistrate will know the whole thing by questioning them.

They even have the witness and the death’s body.

There is no need to investigate

with the ironclad evidence.

Even if he wants to cover up the suspect,

he won’t pervert the law.

I guess you must have been stayed

in the Capitcal City for a very long time.

So what?

It’s different

in the capital city.

Where are you going?

I need to answer the call of nature.

The call of nature...

On your knees.

Are you

Suspect Xu Lin?

Yes, I am.

You are so impressive.

Master Qi.

Don’t disgrace me.

Get lost.

It’s my fault.

I should be blamed.

I disgrace you, sorry.

Master Qi.

My Lord.

Please don’t call me that.

Hua Jingfeng.

You should make clear

who takes charge of

the Hu County.

You are just the County Magistrate.

I give you the post.

If I take it back,

you will fuck off.

How dare you to arrest my follower.

Master Qi.

I can explain.

No need to explain.

I just come back from the other county.

I heard you arrested my man

when I just arrived at the town.

Lord Hua,

you are really capable now.

Alright.

You hear the case.

I, as the gentry here,

can sit in on here.

Master Qi.

Start it.

Why don’t you start it?

I won’t hear the case.

I won’t hear it.

Good.

Then I will take your place.

Madam.

Bad news.

Qi Mu is on the court.

What?

Go.

Don’t move.

Help.

Madam Ya.

Who are you?

What are you going to do?

Madam Ya.

My Lord wants to see you.

Why do you take me here?

What do you want?

Your husband just took office here.

He just goes against me.

Does he know

whose place it is?

Three days.

I will give him three days.

If he doesn’t come to beg me,

I will rape you

and then sell you the brothel.

If he wants peace,

he should pretend to be deaf and blind and acts as my puppet.

As you wish.

Master Qi.

Take her here.

As you wish.

My Lord.

Ya.

My Lord.

Grand old man.

How did you son die?

Yes.

Yes.

Was he beaten to death

or did he die of illness?

Tell me.

Yes.

Yes.

He died of illness.

It’s a tragedy

for you to lose your son.

You son has died.

But you still have a grandson.

Go back and bring your grandson up.

You can’t blackmail people.

But

you are really pity.

You all know

that I am softie.

I won’t look into it.

Do you agree that?

I agree.

I agree.

Master Qi is so generous.

Hurry to kowtow to appreciate his kindness.

Thank you, Master Qi.

Thank you, Master Qi.

Thank you, Master Qi.

Go.

No need to thank me.

My Lord.

Do you think it’s a good judgement?

Yes.

Then what are you waiting for?

I...

Adjourn!

Stop!

My Lord.

It hasn’t started yet.

Why do you adjourn it?

The Plaintiff has dropped the case.

Since the Plaintiff decides not to sue,

I have to adjourn it.

Grand old man.

This is your son’s body.

This is your son.

You don’t want to revenge for him?

My Lord,

my son died of illness, it’s true.

I am so stupid that

I intend to blackmail him.

I’ll keep your kindness in mind.

But I really have no grievances.

I have nothing to sue.

My Lord.

Please forgive me.

Child.

Let’s go.

Let’s go.

Let’s go home.

This is a new face here.

Who is he?

He is a new comer.

The new Judical Clerk.

So that’s explainable.

Since you are a new comer,

you must don’t know the fact.

I will forgive him.

Master Qi, you are so kind.

Stop.

What are you doing?

My Lord.

What was this place in the past?

And what is it now?

Why do you ask me this question?

Well,

what do you want?

It hasn’t

started yet.

Since you have no Plaintiff,

how do you hear it?

Do you think

it’s just the neighborhood dispute?

Since the Plaintiff decides not to sue, you can adjourn.

But it is not applicable for criminal cases.

Murder is the second mortal sin

only next to killing the Emperor and rebellion.

You have no final say

whether to stop it or not.

My Lord.

We have to hear the case.

When Shift Head Zhou Siyu

followed my order to arrest Xu Lin,

his younger sister even beat him.

And then Xu Lin took his men

to his house.

They beat him and even broke one of his legs.

And this is another case.

If you want to take Xu Lin away,

I won’t agree.

You don’t agree?

What are you?

I’m the Judical Clerk of Hu County

taking charge of arresting suspects.

He is really a good hand of you.

You must give me an explanation.

Take Xu Lin away.

Step aside.

Who dares?

Step aside.

Let’s go.

You dare to go against the law.

I will arrest you.

Stop.

Let go.

Go back with me.

I’m telling you.

I am the king here.

I want to see

who dares to stop me.

What are you waiting for?

Men.

Take Xu Lin back.

If you don’t go back with me,

I will cut your head down.

Go.

Make him behave.

Yes, My Lord.

My Lord.

My Lord.

My Lord.

You are bleeding.

I know that.

It’s flowing.

Lets go.

You can’t go.

You

killed people,

you are not allowed to leave.

And you,

even dare to beat an official from Imperial Court

you are not allowed to leave either.

What’s wrong with him?

Is he out of mind?

Beat him.

Go.

We should help him, shouldn’t we?

My Lord.

My Lord.

Everyone follows the tide in troubled times.

But I stick to my own beliefs.

Old scores are but passing clouds.

He who laughs last laughs best.

There is no way out. Life is predestined.

But I’ll fight on and roar on, determined to rewrite destiny

I won’t want to bear it any more.

and get a new life.

Go.

Everyone follows the tide in troubled times.

But I stick to my own beliefs.

Old scores are but passing clouds.

He who laughs last laughs best.

There is no way out. Life is predestined

But I’ll fight on and roar on, determined to rewrite destiny

and get a new life.

My Lord.

Haven’t you seen it?

Let’s leave here.

Go.

After them.

Don’t let them run away.

After them.

Stop.

Step aside.

Don’t run. Step aside.

Stop.

Step aside.

Over there.

Go.

Stop them.
