Episode 1

Early Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty,

the emperor was still young

Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng took charge of the country, brought in new policies, improving the well-being of the country and the people.

Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng took charge of the country, brought in new policies, improving the well-being of the country and the people.

However, countless dangers were lurking beneath the calm surface.

[Ministry of Punishments]

My name is Ye Xiaotian.

The people here all call me Boss.

Who are the people here?

They are prisoners who used to be officials.

Officials of rank 5 and higher.

You wonder what rank I am?

Take a guess.

Boss, another criminal arrived.

Wait.

Watch, another moneymaking opportunity.

I'm the warden of this Xuanzi Prison Branch, Ye Xiaotian.

Give me your name.

I'm official Liu Yong, vice director of the Ministry of Defense.

Official?

There are no officials in my prison.

They are all prisoners.

Tell me, how much money are you willing to offer?

Money?

What do you mean?

1 liang of silver to remove the shackles. * 1 Liang is like one dollor 1 liang of silver for sleeping on dried straw.

2 liangs of silver for sleeping on a bed.

1 penny for a wheat bun.

5 pennies for a meat bun.

2 liangs of silver for a small banquet. No dish is sold alone.

If you want a prostitute, 20 liangs.

I was imprisoned for dereliction of duty and loss of the military map. I don't have any money.

No money?

All right, then you'll be like them.

When I take a bath, the chancellor of Dalisi helps me scrub, the supervisor of the Ministry of Revenue helps me wash.

The chancellor of Banknote Printing helps me dress up.

And the investigating censorate helps me carry the soap.

What can you do?

Sir,

that Ministry of Defense guy looks clumsy,

doesn't look like he can serve you.

That's right.

I don't think the Ministry of Defense nerd can be useful for anything.

Boss!

Mr. Liu is my old friend.

Do me a favor and don't be too hard on him.

Old fool!

I know Mr. Liu. He's an honest and upright official. He has no money.

You won't find a penny on him if you turn him upside down and shake him.

I won't be hard on him if he's just an upright official who met with misfortune.

But if I find out you lied to me...

Old man, you know the consequence.

Who would dare lie to you?

Old man, are you still studying the Book of Changes?

It's so out of date.

What do you mean, out of date?

How many things in the world can really become out of date?

Even if they do, who knows, they might come back into fashion some day.

What do you know?

The philosophy of the changes is broad and profound.

Even just a glimpse of it has been greatly beneficial to me.

I'm not like you,

a warden who always wears such decent clothes,

skimming money from the prisoners whenever you can.

Luckily I still got some money, else I couldn't have even dealt with you.

Old man,

I met a western monk a few days back.

He taught me how to use the western calendar

to deduce this, er... Astrology.

It's much more fun than your Book of Changes.

What's that? Astrology... Western Astrology?

How can that compare with our Book of Changes?

It's a far cry from it!

That reminds me,

since you like telling others' fortune,

how about I tell you your fortune using the western calendar?

All right.

Let me see you teach a fish to swim.

First I'll convert your birthdates into dates according to the western calendar.

You are a "female virgin seat"*. * literal translation of Virgo

What?

What am I?

What?

A Virgo.

I'm a female virgin?

Nonsense!

Utter nonsense!

You already start off wrong.

You're insulting me on purpose, aren't you? I'm... I'm obviously a man.

Why do you say I'm a woman?

And never mind that,

you say I'm a virgin?

You... Nonsense! Are you complementing or belittling me?

I am a virgin and I've got a seat... you...

It's not funny at all, I tell you.

If I'm a female virgin seat,

then what are you?

A eunuch seat?

No wonder we have communication problems. How do a virgin and a eunuch communicate?

Talkative and sharp-tongued,

the two main characteristics of a Virgo.

Ain't I spot on?

Sir!

I'll catch up with you later.

Former vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel Yang Lin profited from selling official positions and accepted 70,000 liangs of silver in bribes.

He is sentenced to death.

In addition, 2 liangs of silver is to be paid for his final dinner before execution.

My time is up.

This is the money for your final dinner.

Can you be more greedy?

I've said it long ago,

don't be corrupt if you fear death.

You'll have to pay for the bribes with your life.

I'll leave you to it.

Boss.

I have an important matter that I need your help with.

Better keep it to yourself if it will make me lose my job.

No, no, no.

It's nothing like that.

I just want to ask you to deliver my letter to my home.

If you help me, I'll make it worth your time.

Colluding with criminal officials is a capital crime.

I won't collude with anyone. Ever since I was put into prison, all my connections have been severed.

I'm just writing a letter and asking you to deliver it to my home.

That's all?

That's all.

About making it worth my time...

how much?

50 liangs.

Where is your home?

Its name is made up of the two characters "li" and "qing".

Jingzhou.

Jing...

The Jingzhou in Hunan-Guangdong District?

It's not far.

It won't take you long to get there.

Old man, are you playing with me? That's over 2000 miles!

No way!

But...

I'll give you 50 liangs of silver!

You'll be back in the blink of an eye!

500 liangs.

I'll think about it.

Boss! Boss! B-Boss!

Sir! Sir!

500 liangs just for delivering a letter!

Such a simple matter!

Why say no?

I'm back!

I'll never come back here again!

Sister-in-law.

What happened?

You good-for-nothing!

I'll beat you up for good today!

Big brother.

How dare you?

How dare you pawn that perfectly good store!

I used up all the money I've saved from my days as a warden to buy you that property!

I'll beat the living daylights out of you!

Dad, dad, dad!

Calm down.

Calm down.

Don't hit him.

Your brother is a disappointment!

Not only did he not tell us he lost money doing business, he even pawned our store!

He still has a debt of over 100 liangs of silver on his hands.

What do we do?

Come out, you good-for-nothing!

Son.

I used up all of my savings to buy him that store.

I was hoping you two will live a good life,

but who knew the good-for nothing

would pawn the store just like that!

This unfilial son

has let your late mother down.

It's all right, dad.

Don't be sad.

Leave it to me. I'll think of something.

Mr. Li,

you came early.

Yang Lin is to be executed today. Let us verify the criminal's identity at once.

Mr. Li.

Look, that old man got drunk from his final dinner last night.

He hasn't sobered up yet, he won't be able to comply with your identification check.

How about you have some tea first, I'll go get some well water and sober him up.

The execution must not be delayed. You have no more than five minutes!

Be quick!

I knew you would come.

Bullshit, you knew because you heard my footsteps.

So...

I'll help you.

I've finished the letter.

The recipient's address is written clearly in there.

The 500 liangs of silver I promised you is also written in the letter.

Don't worry.

Since I gave you a promise, you can be sure that I'll deliver the letter.

Dad, brother,

Warden Zhang agreed to letting big brother carry on our warden position.

I'm leaving. Son, you'll face a lot of hardship.

At least, your brother has been to the capital's suburbs.

But you've never even stepped foot outside of the city gate. All of a sudden, you're going to the Hunan-Guangdong District.

Who knows what kinds of danger you'll encounter on your way.

Son,

if you come across injustice,

don't poke your nose into others' business.

You are a dutiful boy. If I think about it, you are a good child,

except that you can be too stubborn at times.

Son,

remember that when you aren't at home, keep a clear head.

All right, dad. Don't worry.

I'll come back right after I get the mission done.

Brother,

it's my fault that you have to go on this long journey.

Don't mention it, brother.

We are family.

There's no blame.

Dad, brother, I'm leaving.

Thank you, buddy.

Let's go.

Be good to him!

I will.

The stolen military defense map contains information on Yunnan and Guizhou.

Yang Yinglong, the chieftain* of Bozhou, has always been very ambitious, I suspect that he's involved in this case. * hereditary tribal leader

I'd like you to take up this case.

Will you accept it?

I devote my life to the imperial court.

[Bozhou, King's Court]

The imperial court has sent an official to Guizhou to investigate the theft of the military defense map.

You must find his whereabouts and kill him.

This is a court official.

How did he arrive so fast?

He is Ai Feng, chief of Official Examiner of the Ministry of Defense.

The minister of defense dispatched him

as the new sheriff of Huxian County

to head to Guizhou, locate the military map

and investigate and deal with the thieves behind this case.

Does the court know something?

Huxian is the only place in Guizhou that is ruled by transferable officials.

It's the easiest place for him to get a firm foothold.

Ai Feng will not arrive in Huxian.

Buddy.

Can you tell me where the Yangs' residence is?

Which Yangs?

Their master of the house is an official working in the capital, called Yang Lin.

Mrs.

Sister.

Can you tell me the way to the Yangs?

Their master of the house is an official in the capital called Yang Lin.

What the heck?

The Jingzhou people are so unfriendly.

Chubby friend,

how do I reach Yang Lin's home?

One sugar figurine, please.

Can you tell me now?

I don't know!

You little brat!

I've tricked others my whole life, how did I end up getting tricked by a chubby boy?

Brother Gelong,

please calm down.

You may not know,

but our Xia family has lots of sons,

my little sister Yingying however is the only daughter.

For our old grandma she's the apple of her eye.

Exactly.

Please excuse her for being late.

Please be patient.

Brother Xia,

I'll wait for her as long as it takes.

Yingying is coming.

Yingying is coming.

She's here.

Where is she?

Brother, where is Yingying?

What happened?

Where is she?

She was just here.

Go look for her!

Let's go!

Hurry up!

Let's go!

What happened, brother?

I told you,

Yingying is too spoiled.

She doesn't want to marry Gelong. You just have to force her.

Gelong is Tongren District's number one warrior. Why wouldn't he be good enough for her?

[Yang Residence]

Finally found it.

The Yangs' residence looks quite luxurious.

Get lost!

You should've known this isn't the place for you to fish for money.

You thought I, Yang Sanshou, am that easy to fool?

Butler Sanshou,

Mr. Yang and I really were old friends.

I passed by this place and have run out of money,

I'm just asking for some traveling expenses.

Since when does our master have a friend as worthless as you, a beggar?

Beat him up!

Beat him until he admits he's mistaken!

Don't!

Please don't!

Don't hit me!

Don't hit me!

I... I have nothing to do with Mr. Yang!

I don't know Mr. Yang!

Enough, enough!

What did you say?

I... I have nothing to do with Mr. Yang.

Speak up!

I have nothing to do with Mr. Yang!

A bitch is a bitch.

No coffin, no tears.

Yang Lin, that devil!

How dare he trick me.

Look at that old thing, he wouldn't even recognize his mother if she was here.

Getting 500 liangs from him?

Impossible.

I'm talking to you!

What are you doing here?

A passer-by.

Just passing by.

Let's go!

Let's go.

Buddy,

what happened?

I've heard that Mrs. Yang is a greedy and miserly woman.

She has an awful reputation.

I'm surprised

the rumors are true.

Is Mrs. Yang really that greedy?

Sure is. Mr. Yang's daughter was abused just because her biological mother was a concubine.

She was driven out of their home and lives in the little house on the front lane with only two meals a day.

Strangers like you won't gain anything from that family. You should leave.

You have to keep your promise.

You have to.

If not, you will be hated by the gods, ghosts and all people!

I'll kill you, you little brat! How dare you run out?

How dare you play outside?

I've told you to stay in the yard!

You weren't allowed to go out, you are to stay in the yard!

Didn't you hear me?

Didn't you? You don't want to eat, do you?

What are you doing?

Where did you come from, brat? How dare you interfere with our Yang family's business?

What about the Yang family?

You think you're special?

Who are you? Are you her grandmother?

She is so young. How can you hit her like that?

Her grandmother?

I don't have a bastard like her as my granddaughter.

Get lost!

Don't come any closer!

I was right, as old and ugly as you are, you can't be her grandmother.

How dare you hit her when she isn't even your granddaughter! How dare you interfere with our business!

You're something.

Stay here.

Just you wait!

All right, I'll wait.

Old witch!

Little girl,

is this your home?

why didn't anyone come out to help you when that old witch hit you?

My mother fell ill and passed away last year.

After she passed away my father's wife called me a trouble maker and threw me out.

I live alone in this small house.

They are so mean.

What about your dad?

My dad is an official in the capital.

He only comes home once in a long while.

Do you have any other relatives?

I have an aunt.

My mom told me when she was dying, if someone bullies me, I should seek my aunt for shelter.

Look, sister,

[Xuejia Town, Tongren District]

this is the address my mother left me. [Xuejia Town, Tongren District]

[Xuejia Town, Tongren District]

Tongren.

Do you want to go find your aunt?

I'll take you there.

Really?

Really.

I don't want to go back home right now anyway and I have nowhere else to go.

Is anyone home?

They are coming again!

Here,

put this note away.

Don't worry.

I'll keep my promise to you.

Don't be afraid.

Is anyone home?

What do you want?

The only one I'm still worried about

is my daughter.

Her mother was my concubine,

that's why my wife hates her.

I fear that once I'm gone,

my wife will only bully her more.

That's why I want to write a letter. Please deliver it to Jingzhou for me.

The letter is my will.

I want to divide my property.

Some money will be left to my daughter as her dowry.

That will at least ensure her adequate food and clothing.

Are you Miss Yang?

I'm Ye Xiaotian.

I'm from the capital.

Your father Yang Lin has entrusted me...

There!

I...

Was it him who stuck his nose in our business?

Not him.

It was a pretty girl.

Damn it!

I don't have time to explain now. See you later.

Catch him! Don't run!

Where are you going?

Don't run, boy!

Stop!

Run?

You can't run!

Take him with us!

Yes, sir!

Don't be so rough!

Get in there.

Don't touch me!

Don't be so rough!

What's going on here, Sanshou?

Madame,

this guy slipped into our yard and fled as soon as I saw him.

I managed to catch him.

He won't tell me where he comes from.

I think that

he's a thief!

You're a thief!

Sir,

are you the county magistrate?

Let go of him.

Yes.

I am the county magistrate.

Sir,

I'm not a thief.

My name is Ye Xiaotian.

I'm from the capital.

I came here

because I was entrusted by Mr. Yang Lin to deliver his will.

His will?

Brother, his will.

A will?

What? My brother-in-law...

He is dead?

Brother-in-law?

Sister, I'm sorry for your loss.

Sister?

Where is his will?

That's right.

Where is his will?

Give it to us.

What is it?

Were you lying to me?

Search him!

Hold on!

I'll do it myself.

I'll do it myself.

Here you go, sir.

What did he write?

What the hell?

The county magistrate is Mrs. Yang's brother.

That old woman treasures her money like her life.

If she finds out about the will's content,

I may not even have the time to write my own will.

Sir!

Just as the letter says,

I came here to take my bride home with me.

Your bride?

Yes.

Sir,

I was a warden of the capital prison.

During Mr. Yang's stay in prison,

I cared for him a lot.

Mr. Yang felt grateful to me

and wrote down this will upon his death,

he wishes to marry her daughter off to me.

I'm here

to bring my wife

back to the capital with me.

Please grant us this wish.

Utter nonsense!

She's too young!

She...

She isn't too young, is she?

It's written clearly in the letter.

If you don't believe me,

you can ask the magistrate, madame.

Yes.

It says so in the letter.

Though my niece is still young

and her father was reckless with this arrangement,

but it is very like him

to do something like this.

Since this is his final will,

I shall not disobey him.

Servants!

Bring in miss Yang.

She is...

Sis!

Yaoyao.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here.

No one will dare to bully you.

Who is she?

She is my niece, Yang Yao.

But... she...

But...

But...

But...

It's a long way to reach the capital from here.

You must be tired from such a long journey.

Why don't you rest in our residence for a few days?

I'll arrange for you to be on your way.

Be on our way... he wants us dead...?

Thank you for your kindness, sir.

But my parents are old

and I need to look after them.

I'm anxious to return home.

I will...

take...

my wife back with me at once.

You came here to propose a marriage?

I thought that Yang Lin's daughter was...

You wanted to trick me, didn't you?

Let me explain.

That old bastard!

Of course he made plans for his bastard child just before his death.

But brother, the letter didn't say anything about marrying her off to that guy.

Oh you...

That was Ye Xiaotian's smart move.

He must have heard about your reputation.

He knew that he won't get the 500 liangs from you.

That's why he wanted to find Yaoyao first.

But Sanshou brought her back already.

Seeing that I'm the county magistrate

and thinking that I could back him up,

he was willing to show us the letter.

He couldn't have imagined that the magistrate is my brother.

That's why he changed his words and told us he was here to take his bride home.

That's right.

Since Yaoyao is a thorn in your side,

he knew you'd jump at the opportunity to get rid of her.

This would also give him the chance to make his escape.

If I wasn't so clever and made up some reason about a marriage,

that money hungry crazy woman

would have sent me to prison by now.

What a bummer!

I travelled thousands of miles to get here only to find myself caught up in trouble.

What are you still following me for?

You wouldn't think I'll really marry this little girl, would you? How could I?

We can't let him go.

Why?

He came to deliver the letter because he was out for the money.

After failing to get it, he won't just give up.

The will is in our hands.

He can't do anything but give up.

That's where you're wrong, brother.

As is dictated by the Ming code of law, three men make a statement valid.

Did that old bastard tell anyone about the division of property?

The bastard child is in Ye Xiaotian's hands.

Is there anyone else who knows about Yang Yao's inheritance?

Why are you following me?

I'm not following you.

I'm taking Yaoyao to her aunt's home.

I can't let her suffer in the Yang family.

That's perfect.

I wish you two

a pleasant journey and all the best to you.

See you.

Our only choice

is to kill them off.

Beat him to death.

Beat him to death!

Kill him and throw the body into the woods.

A skeleton left in the wilderness is difficult to identify. Let them investigate.

They'll find nothing.

Hurry! Run!

Why are you following me?

I'm going to the capital. You are heading for Tongren.

We take different routes.

I don't know how to get to Tongren.

Are you asking me to take you there?

Yes, cool!

Do I owe you anything?

Yes. It was you who brought us out of the Yangs' residence. You have to take responsibility.

All right, all right.

I can take you to Tongren.

Just give me 500 liangs of silver.

500 liangs?

Are you crazy?

I'd be impressed if you can find even 1 liang on me.

All right,

I'll start searching.

What are you doing?

I ran away from home to avoid a forced marriage.

I don't have any money.

You ran off without money?

Fine.

If you don't have any money to compensate me,

pay me with yourself.

If I take her to Tongren,

you'll pay me with yourself.

Marry me, how about that?

You pervert!

Does everyone like to force marriages nowadays?

I just escaped a marriage, and you are forcing me again!

Either money or person.

Isn't there a third choice?

There is.

Get lost!

Isn't that your family's butler?

That's him.

That miserly Mrs. Yang. She wants to kill us to keep our mouths shut.

Kill us?

These men didn't bring any bedding. Doesn't seem like traveling.

Moreover, they run like the devil's behind them, it's not like they're on a journey.

They're heading north.

The only explanation is that they are out to kill us.

Where are you going?

Running away. I'm not gonna stay here and wait for death.

Why are you heading west?

They are heading north,

I have to make a detour.

Since you're heading west,

why not take us along with you?

Brother Xiaotian.

What?

So you agree to be my wife?

Let's not talk about this.

Let's talk money, OK?

So,

you take Yaoyao to her aunt's home

and I'll give you 5... 5...

5000 liangs!

How rude!

He didn't even hear me out.

Did he really leave?

What do we do, Yaoyao?

Sister Yingying.

You should just marry him.

Should I just

marry him?

Deal. You mustn't go back on your words.

Let's go!

Where did he pop up from?

Let's go.

They walk,

we ride.

Why haven't we caught up with them yet?

There are two possibilities.

One, they didn't leave.

Two, we've been

heading the wrong direction.

With an area this big,

how do we find them?

I've heard that Yaoyao

has a relative in Guizhou.

If they didn't head north,

they may be going to Guizhou?

Yes.

Tomorrow,

we'll head west.

Help!

You pervert!

You took advantage of me!

You're shameless!

You pervert!

You fool. If I wanted to take advantage of you, I needn't have waited till you fall asleep.

You admitted it!

You are shameless!

You beast!

When... when did I admit anything?

You beast!

I... who is shameless?

You beast!

Sister Yingying,

you were sleeping over there, last night.

How come you are here this morning?

Did you roll yourself next to Xiaotian?

What happened?

Explain.

That's impossible!

You must have either pulled me

or pushed me here!

You pervert!

That's right, the whole world wants to harm you!

Old man!

Did you see a young man and a young lady with a 6 or 7 year-old kid pass through this village?

Your drawing...

it's so ugly.

I asked you whether they have passed through here, not whether the drawing is accurate or not!

If you are asking about the 3 people on the drawing,

I most certainly haven't seen them.

But I have seen an angel-like lady

and a handsome scholar

with a cute little girl pass by.

Tell me,

where were they headed?

But...

Give him some.

All right.

They went that way.

There's only one route.

Let's go!

This place is bustling.

Sir,

can you tell me

how to get to Guizhou?

You're going to Guizhou?

After you pass our Huangzhou County

go west for 2 miles

until you see a fork road.

- Take the left route and keep heading south. - The left route?

You'll soon reach Guizhou.

Perfect, thank you.

Let's go.

We're almost in Guizhou,

I have to find a chance to get rid of him,

or he'll really make me be his wife.

Isn't that the Yang family's butler?
