Episode 21

That's good then.

Go prepare for it.

Bury my father the soonest possible.

Young Master,

this is against the custom.

I call the shot in the Liang family

Someone's here.

Where did the old man

hide it?

Is it still on him?

Why does Liang Cheng

want to bury Liang Feng in a hurry?

He stopped me from opening the coffin.

He's so anxious about the burial now.

He might be the one who killed Liang Feng.

Afraid that you'll find evidence in the coffin.

But

he returned only after Liang Feng's death.

We were there too.

I had a look just now.

There are

traces of turmeric on his horse's hooves.

But it had been raining since noon.

How did the turmeric get on the horse?

This is a clue.

No matter what,

let's find a way to open the coffin.

It's obvious that Liang Cheng

is searching for something hidden by Liang Feng.

He looks very concern.

Perhaps we could make use of his concern.

What do you mean?

I want to make Liang Cheng

open the coffin for us personally.

Brother Su,

here's the stuff you want.

I've brought it over for you.

Is it made from dark steel?

I've tried it.

Besides the key,

you won't be able to slash it open

with knife and sword.

That's great.

Thank you, Brother Xie.

Don't mention it.

Can this really work?

We'll depend on the two of you next.

Heroine Rushuang,

it's our showtime.

Take this quick.

I can't do this.

I really can't.

What do you mean?

Tell Liang Cheng that

you found this from his father's remains.

There are treasures inside.

Take it quick.

I can't lie to my Young Master.

How can you call this as lying?

You're just helping.

As long as you help us,

the money

will be yours.

I can't betray the Liang family.

You... I...

Look.

I've said this trick won't work.

Admit your defeat.

Let's do it.

Butler.

What are you doing?

What did you just feed me with?

Poison.

If you don't help us,

you'll bleed to death tomorrow.

Are you trying to scare me?

Do you think it's candy,

something that

a lady like you can get easily?

Did you see this?

Look there.

Did you see it?

I understand that you're loyal

to the Liang family.

You may reunite

with your old master tomorrow.

Let's go.

Miss, please don't leave.

I promise you.

That's more like it.

Here, take it.

Where's the antidote?

I'll give it to you after you've done the task.

What if you refuse then?

Do you have other option

beside putting your trust on me?

Rushuang,

what poison did you feed him with?

What poison?

It's just a candy.

Why should I waste

such an expensive poison on a butler?

Rushuang, you're so smart.

This way,

we've saved the money

for the bribe and the poison.

Rushuang,

you can really make a living.

I need to talk with you.

You're just bribing a butler.

Why do you need so much money?

If you continue to spend money lavishly,

you'll empty Feiyun Manor's fund sooner or later.

It's fine.

I still have you to look out for me, my Young Lady.

Our Feiyun Manor will prosper.

This is yours.

Knowing me is your treasure.

Let's not wait until this afternoon.

Let's look for Sister Su

and visit General Zhang's tomb.

Alright.

Let's go.

Rushuang,

let's find something to eat first.

I'm afraid you'll feel hungry on the road.

General Zhang Yuhua

is indeed a young hero.

He followed Prince Qi

and defeated the enemy's 20,000 people army

with 3,000 cavalries in Kunshan.

It's a pity that he perished in the Battle of Honggu.

Heard that when he died,

he stood on a pile of corpses

with his eyes closed.

What a pity.

General, a report from the frontline.

The trestle bridge had been destroyed by flood.

The reinforcement can't reach us.

Inform General Zhang to join us.

General,

General Zhang's troop had been defeated.

The entire troop was wiped out.

What?

He has become a hero

but Miss Liang has become a widow.

Her father has passed away now.

Brother Pei,

what's the matter?

Tomb of the loyal General Zhang Yuhua

Your Highness.

Sister-in-law.

Your Highness,

thank you for your concern all these years.

If my late husband knows about it,

he'll feel comforted.

General Zhang

had sacrificed himself for the country.

Sister-in-law, please take care.

But I would rather that

he wasn't so noble.

Sister-in-law.

My late husband lost his life for the country.

But the others

stepped on his bones

to survive

and enjoy the glory and wealth.

Forget it.

Your Highness,

Detective Su,

thank you for visiting my late husband.

It's getting late.

Do head downhill earlier.

Miss,

did you touch the flowers?

I won't put the flowers there if I knew earlier.

What did her maid rub on her hand?

It's a specially-made medicinal powder

for itches.

It can be used to make perfume satchel too.

Liang Mansion

Why are you here?

Get out!

Get off!

Guards!

Are you looking for the key of the box?

Guards!

Young Master.

Drive them off!

How dare you?

Rushuang, let's get started.

Fei Yuan, good job.

Father,

I'm not filial.

Officer Liang, don't be grief-stricken.

By finding the truth, Old Master Liang may rest in peace.

Did you find anything?

There are 3 punch marks here.

They are different in shapes.

And over here,

there's a crescent-shaped scar.

There's indeed a bruise.

Could it be something from the murderer?

Judging from the dissipation degree of the bruise,

it should have been left by the murderer.

Judging from the location of bruises and wounds,

it might be a mark

from the murderer's finger accessory.

Liang Cheng,

you're suspected of killing your father Liang Feng.

Please follow us to the County Office.

Su Ci,

are you out of your mind?

This is my father.

How could I kill my own father?

Really?

May I ask Officer Liang,

when did you arrive home at Liang Mansion?

You were there too

when I arrived home.

Alright.

It's good that you remember it.

Fei Yuan, go and lead the horse over.

Understood.

There are traces of turmeric on its hooves.

The medicinal herb growers have been drying turmeric around the city.

The horse might have brushed against it.

Is there anything wrong with it?

But it rained heavily on the day you returned.

The medicinal herbs have been gathered in.

Why are there turmeric traces

on your horse then?

So many days have passed.

No one can say for sure

about this.

But it has been raining these few days.

The only sunny day was on the day Old Master Liang died.

I've checked with the horsekeeper.

This horse has injured his leg.

It has been in the mansion in the past few days.

I did return one day earlier

to deal with the manor's affairs.

I didn't make it home.

So what?

Why did you lie?

Su Ci,

I'm warning you.

Please present concrete evidence

when convicting a court official.

The cause of death is the wound on the right forehead.

It can now be confirmed that

the murderer is left-handed.

Officer Liang,

so you're left-handed.

There's a crescent-shaped scar

on the deceased's right forehead.

Officer Liang,

you're no stranger to this thumb ring.

The traces of blood on it

must be of the murderer.

He must have been too flustered that he didn't clean it properly.

May I have a look at your left hand?

Raise your hand!

Raise your hand!

Raise it!

Quick!

There will be difference in skin color

if you wear a ring all year long.

Officer Liang,

can you please explain

why your thumb ring

was stained by blood?

How did it end up on Old Master Liang?

I didn't intend to kill him.

I didn't intend to kill him.

I didn't intend to kill my father.

It was an accident.

It was an accident.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I didn't do it on purpose.

Guards!

I didn't do it on purpose.

Take him away!

I didn't

do it on purpose.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I didn't intend to kill him.

I didn't do it on purpose.

Let's head back to the mourning hall.

Miss.

Miss,

the antidote.

What antidote?

No!

Don't resort to force.

How can you break your promise?

That's just a candy.

Why do you need an antidote for?

I don't believe it.

It's true.

I don't want to waste my poison like that.

No.

Miss!

Miss!

Something bad has happened.

The Young Master

has been captured.

What?

Butler, what are these?

Old Master wore those clothes when he died.

According to custom,

they must be burnt during the burial.

Why does the blood vivid red?

It looks like cinnabar.

Rushuang, look.

It looks like medicinal powder.

Are you able to tell what it is?

It smells like medicinal herbs.

It's angelica.

I can't detect the rest.

Here.

Butler,

did your old master have any illnesses?

What has my eldest brother done?

Why did you capture him?

Detective Su has found out that

your brother

killed Old Master Liang.

Sister-in-law.

My condolences.

It's impossible.

He'll never do such a thing.

Detective Su,

have you mistaken?

Mrs. Zhang,

I'm sorry.

Miss.

Miss.

Miss.

Liang Cheng,

what really happened that day?

Please be honest.

That night,

I had an argument with my father.

You're such a disappointment!

I'll beat you to death!

I'll beat you to death!

Shut up!

Father.

Are you sure that

you only hit him once?

I'm sure.

It was really an accident.

He's my father after all.

Liang Cheng,

have a look at this.

A Letter to Lei Zheng

This...

This...

What does the past incident in the letter referred to?

Your Highness,

this is a secret between my father and Lord Lei.

I don't know anything about it.

Do you think I'll believe you?

I'm innocent, Your Highness.

I really don't know anything about it.

Liang Cheng,

you could kill your own father.

Of course you could refuse to admit it too.

I've underestimated you.

I really have no idea.

I really have no idea.

Since you won't admit it until you're faced with grim reality,

I'll fulfill your wish then.

I've all the time to interrogate you

in the imperial city.

My lord.

How did he locate the Liang Mansion?

Liang Cheng has been caught too.

He wants to reverse an old case

and investigate the Battle of Honggu.

My lord,

the Liang family has been close to Lei Zheng lately.

Have Prince Qi found some clues

in Lei Zheng's case?

Didn't I tell you to root it out?

Please go there personally.

Root out the cause of the problem.

If Xiao Yanzhi

found any clues,

it'd be

a total defeat for me.

Do you remember the time when we opened the coffin for autopsy?

We found 3 wounds on Liang Feng's forehead.

Of course I remember.

But when we interrogated Liang Cheng,

he said

he only hit his father once.

Based on Liang Cheng's confession,

Liang Feng slipped and hit the table corner.

This caused the first wound.

If Liang Cheng only hit him once,

there would only be 2 wounds.

Why was there a third wound then?

He had killed someone.

He'd be inevitably panicked.

His memory might have failed him.

What if there were

two murderers?

Rushuang,

what are the common herbs used to make antipruritic powder?

The common herbs are angelica, cocklebur and cinnabar.

Could it

really be her?

Let's go and ask again.

She might be hiding something.

Fei Yuan, head to the government office at once

and borrow the bloody clothes.

Alright.

Let's go.

Where are you going?

What does this mean?

Who's the murderer?

Stop asking. Keep up.

Miss,

Prince Qi is here.

Invite them in.

Understood.

This way, Your Highness.

Prepare the tea.

Understood.

Your Highness.

Mrs. Zhang,

we've few questions to inquire.

Detective Su,

you may go ahead.

May we have a look at your perfume satchel?

It smells of dried rose root, dried wolfberry root,

angelica, cocklebur

and cinnabar.

This is a medicine pouch for treating skin disease.

This perfume satchel is newly-made.

Mrs. Zhang,

where's your old perfume satchel?

You've mentioned in your confession that

you only found out about Liang Feng's death

the following morning.

Why were you

at the crime scene

before the deceased's blood coagulated?

You're saying I've been to the crime scene.

Where's the evidence?

Fei Yuan.

The medicinal powder on this clothes

was from your perfume satchel, right?

The blood stain

is bright red in color because it has come

into contact with cinnabar.

So what if I had been to the crime scene?

With such a scandal happened in my family,

it's natural that

I didn't testify against my brother.

But on the night of the crime,

you had been to Liang Feng's room.

He was still alive

when he fell to the ground.

You picked up a pixiu and struck him with it.

Your brother Liang Cheng

had no idea that

you had been to the crime scene too.

The impact of the second blow

is much greater than the first blow.

You held pixiu with both hands

and struck him with the bottom part.

Your father died

due to both the blow from you

and the blow from your brother.

Sister-in-law,

why did you do this?

Brother Zhang and your unborn child

won't want to see you in this state.

You're right.

I killed him.

I'm the murderer.

Sister-in-law,

why did you do this?

I prayed for this amulet at the temple

before my husband went to war.

He kept it with him at all times.

I found it among his remains

that Prince Qi's men

sent home to me.

From then onwards,

I keep it by my side

day and night.

Few days ago,

I found a letter

written in my husband's blood in the amulet.

What?

He left behind a letter?

What did he write?

I've always thought that

my husband died an honor death for the country.

Because that's his faith.

Only when I read his letter

that I realized

he died due to betrayal.

Letter Written in General Zhang's Blood After fighting for 3 days,

we're still unable to break through the siege.

After several urging,

there is still no movement from the reinforcement.

I suspected they colluded with the enemy.

There is no hope of surviving this battle.

Please take care, my wife.

Brother Pei,

who's the traitor?

Is he still alive?

The leader of the reinforcement

was Liang Cheng.

When brother returned home,

he kept telling me

how difficult it had been for him.

He fought all the way to the end.

But failed to save my husband.

I was convinced

by what he told me.

But I never thought that

both my father and brother

were murderers.

Was Old Master Liang involved in this too?

After I found the letter,

I wanted to ask them several times.

But my rationality pulled me back

from being impulsive.

Few days ago,

I overheard an argument

between my father and brother.

Father,

write a letter and get him

to assign me

as the Assistant Minister of War.

No way.

You'd secretly written to Lei Zheng previously.

That was too conspicuous of you.

I just need a favor from him.

When he colluded with the enemy back then,

we helped him

and ignored brother-in-law's life.

Zhang Yuhua was just a son-in-law.

I'm even willing to sacrifice

the adopted daughter

for you.

But

if he finds out that

you'd written to Lei Zheng,

he won't let it go easily.

Who are they?

They never mentioned

the name and the identity

of the person.

Your Highness,

please ensure that

the murderer pays

an eye for an eye.

As long as I'm still alive,

I'll seek justice for Brother Zhang.

I've something else

to show you.

Sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law.

Your Highness,

thank you for your concern all these years.

You must not let him die an unjustly death.

Don't worry.

I can meet him finally.

Your Highness.

Where's Liang Cheng?

Sub by WeTV & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Tomb of the loyal General Zhang Yuhua. Wife: Liang Wen

I was the one who named Brother Zhang's child.

When she was informed of his death,

Mrs. Zhang was so depressed that

she lost her child.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so resolute.

If I'd remained by Brother Zhang side

and protected him,

he wouldn't have...

Brother Pei,

do you blame me?

Blame me

for catching the murderer?

How could you think so?

After all, Liang Feng and his son

colluded with enemy and betrayed the country.

But Mrs. Zhang did it

for national justice.

Are you thinking that

Mrs. Zhang committed suicide

because you found the truth?

Isn't it?

She had been carrying a lot of burden.

I regretted that

I didn't realize the conspiracy earlier.

If I sought justice for Brother Zhang earlier,

Mrs. Zhang wouldn't have gone this far.

But you've nothing to do with these.

You did what you should do.

But now,

I started to doubt

whether what I've done was right.

If not for my persistence,

Mrs. Zhang wouldn't have died.

Everyone must be responsible for his own action.

What's the use

of the law

if everyone kills for love and hate?

Your responsibility is to find out the truth.

There shouldn't be any doubt about this.

Something secret is brewing in the capital

This matter has serious implications.

If you get involved rashly,

you might be in danger.

I'm not afraid.

I know that you're worried about me.

But you've been protecting me all this while.

This time,

I would like to do something for you.

There are medicinal herbs I need there.

Can you accompany me to get some?

Alright.

Fei Yuan, come along too.

Me? But Young Master...

He's an adult.

Afraid he'll lose his way?

Besides, Sister Su is with him.

Aren't you going?

There are many herbs for cooking too.

Really?

Let's go.
