Episode 2

Master,

I have searched the whole city.

But can’t find Long Aoyi.

Frankly,

I love you.

I’m kidding!

Master Qiyan,

Shekou Hall

Our outlets for collection of silkworms

have been occupied by Second Master Lyu of Longzhu Gang

Our men didn’t dare to fight back.

Are you all cowards?

Get them back for me.

We have lost the gamble.

Our men are all frustrated

and feel humiliated.

A full pack of rubbishes!

What is the use of you?

Get rid of those guys from Longzhu Gang.

Otherwise, you will all be punished!

Interesting, really interesting!

Back to your business!

Lower your profile.

Ms. Long

is the new master of Longzhu Gang.

How about that toy boy?

The man named Li Qingliu today

is an influential guy.

He is the master of Xinsilu Silk Store,

the best store in Silver City.

He is an expert in doing business.

He is not only head of the richest silk store in Silver City,

but also a handsome guy.

All girls in the city want to marry him.

But…

It is said he isn’t interested in girls.

Why is that?

It is said

he will get dizzy

when he is close to a girl.

That is really very strange.

Check Master Long more.

I didn’t expect we could have a girl

as the gang master in our state.

It’s much funnier than the richest guy.

Don’t you think so?

How about her parents?

Your Highness.

I didn’t find anything about her parents.

But she has a master

who lives with her at Wuyun Pavilion.

Wuyun Pavilion. What is it?

Wuyun Pavilion is the place

that Your Highness most prefer to visit.

The place that I most prefer to visit?

Wuyun Pavilion - Come on and have fun. - Serve them well.

Wuyun Pavilion Coming.

- Serve well. - Come in here.

Mr. Zhang of Southern City creates a poem for Ms. Miaoyue!

Haven’t come for long.

Mr. Xu of Tongquli tipped twenty taels of silver!

Manager Sun of Jiyuan Chamber of Commerce of Luoyang

redeemed Ms. Jianan with 500 taels of silver!

Master, you have slept since returned.

Have you sobered up?

Comfortable!

I must at least frustrate them

however lazy I may be.

Master.

A message from the quay says the gold threads have arrived.

They will be released tomorrow.

Take them back immediately after that.

Never make a mistake.

Yes.

Quay

There’re the gold threads provided by Quanzhou to honor Xinsilu.

You must keep them in proper custody.

Yes.

Master, the gold threads have arrived.

Xinsilu

Master, gold threads.

What? What is wrong?

I don’t know.

Go.

The raw materials are worth 9,000 taels of silver.

The license from the Department of Supervision is worth 50,000.

Gold-thread clothes ordered from Persia

has a total contract value of 3,000,000 taels.

A delay of work by one day in the five-month schedule will

result in cost reduction until twenty percent of total project value.

The total cost is 768,000 taels.

Shall we place an emergency order?

Garments are made in five months.

The lost gold threads were made after the Double Nine Festival last year.

We can’t catch up with the schedule however hard we may try.

When we got the gold threads,

both the copper lock and the box were intact.

The gold threads will never disappear.

Qingliu, I will ask for my father’s help.

I will ask him to search the whole city

and check all inbound

and outbound people more strictly.

No thief will place eyes on the threads

in a net weight of not over three taels.

Transport them out secretly

and find a buyer who knows the value.

The closest trading place is Chang’an.

But it is too risky.

So selling the stolen goods on site is the best strategy.

Reporting to the government now will only

urge them to hide the gold threads better.

Yan Bin,

start making investigations now.

From Quanzhou to the transit station,

the gold threats were personally escorted by ninth-grade officials.

So the time when the gold threats were most likely to be stolen

is the two hours of waiting for release

after arrival at the quay.

Xiaoxian, contact with the Persian merchant now to see

if the delivery date can be delayed.

Master, we have also found another clue.

This rag was found

on the big cloth box

containing gold threads in the field.

We have verified it.

It doesn’t belong to any escorts or any of our people.

It must be a torn part

of the clothes

from the thief of gold threads.

He isn’t tall.

But it is an inner shirt

The warp runs through from top to bottom.

It is so rough,

a typical way of the lower class.

Prepare the carriage.

I will visit the Ma’s Workshop in Southern City.

Clothes Shop

Nice to see you, Master Li!

Please check the fabric carefully.

It is our product.

One warp to three wefts.

Whose clothes is made of this fabric?

I am not sure.

Look at the color.

It seems to be Wu …

Wuyun, Wuyun House?

No! No!

What? Wuyun …

Wuyun Pavilion!

Wuyun Pavilion?

That is a whorehouse!

Wuyun Pavilion’s

head…

Wuyun Pavilion’s head showgirl! Let’s go!

No… Their master!

Master.

How about I going directly to Wuyun Pavilion

and taking that head showgirl here?

It is a messy place.

I am afraid we may just get lost here.

They won’t dare

to trade in cash publicly.

Go ask around

where the lower class trades.

I will meet this head showgirl at Wuyun Pavilion.

No, but it is a whorehouse actually.

Master,

you will certainly be the head showgirl

at Wuyun Pavilion with your figure.

Are you going out?

They will tell the story about Night Travel of Wenjun today.

Wasn’t it told at the previous episode?

It should be different this time.

The storyteller is Gengzi today.

Okay, just go.

Tell me again when you are back.

Only a silly girl

or a bad boy

will have an elopement.

By the way.

I am leaving. Don’t use my scraper.

Don’t worry.

I will certainly use it.

Lvzhu

Master!

I hang the board of an art girl

on your door.

Silly girl, put it down!

Don’t misguide others.

Anyway, you are a mature girl.

1,600 Teals for Art Girl Lvzhu

Tea Art, Flower Art, Paired Drinking

Wuyun Pavilion Sir, welcome.

This way, please.

Come and have fun here.

- Come here. - Hurry up!

Come here.

Come on.

Sir.

Aren’t you going to watch the show? Why are you back here again?

Xiaoqin?

Xiaoqin, what are you doing?

Ms. Long, Feng is looking for you!

OK. I see.

I will go right away.

It is just a visit to the black market.

Don’t dress up in a high profile.

I am working for master, anyway.

How do you think about it, Xiaoqin?

Xiaoqin?

Xiaoqin? Xiaoqin?

1,600 Teals for Art Girl Lvzhu

Tea Art, Flower Art, Paired Drinking

Sima Changqing played a piece of music called Love Courting

Storytelling for County Governor Wang Ji.

This music thus

permanently attracted

the girl

hidden behind the door.

Can you get straight to the point?

Nobody comes here to hear about elopement.

Just go away if you don’t like it.

Gengzi, go on.

Who are you talking about?

You rooster.

Go.

Wait and see.

You should be serving your pretentious master back at home now.

Why are you here?

I just passed by here.

You should also

be serving your girl master, right?

Can you tell me

where one can sell

dirty but good things

in your Southern City?

In what way do you think Southern City is dirty?

Please mind your words.

You have no right to inquire about my

identity simply because you helped me.

I could certainly have dealt with

those silly guys alone.

They are just silly guys.

They don’t deserve

your fighting at all.

Right?

You really have a glib tongue.

You looked so pretty

and I was attracted.

You are exactly the same

as those lecherous men at Wuyun Pavilion.

Go to big bazar for trading.

Don’t try to cheat girls here.

I, how…

Go away!

Xiangxiang, Xiangyue

Feng

Feng

It is really a windfall today.

You look handsome

but a little strange to me.

Well.

I can give you a special discount.

You look like a decent guy.

I will serve you well today.

Miss,

I am looking for your head showgirl.

Head showgirl?

I am the head showgirl.

But it was ten years ago.

You are looking for the head showgirl?

All our girls at Wuyun Pavilion are head showgirls.

I am afraid you don’t have enough money.

Take care. It is fire.

Feng, he is Master Li, the richest guy in Silver City.

No wonder you are so proud. Good!

Girls.

Come and serve our sugar daddy.

Coming.

We are coming.

Master.

Who is inside? Li Qingliu?

Do you know him?

He a big potato,

handsome and rich.

He is just an arrogant womanizer.

I didn’t expect he would come to Southern City for fun.

What an abnormal person!

Stay away from me!

Step aside!

What’s wrong with you?

- Don’t offend our master. - I didn’t

Master Li.

Aren’t you satisfied

with any of our girls?

What kind of girl do you prefer?

Your girls really have a poor quality.

Invite your prettiest girls

out here.

Our prettiest girls are all here.

The prettiest girl, Feng.

Is Ms. Long

the prettiest girl to him?

Shut up, get out.

Who is Ms. Long?

She’s a girl who sells neither sex or art,

nor even flatter the guest.

Call her here.

Master Li,

I can invite

whoever you prefer today

except her.

Master, Li, I have taken her here.

Just have a good talk.

It is you!

You’ve done with your tricks?

Now come to Wuyun Pavilion to pick girls?

You are the head showgirl here?

Don’t hurt me secretly.

Secretly?

There is a big signboard over the door.

Can’t you read it out yourself?

That is Xiaoqin…

Forget it, it is no use blabbering here.

No wonder you said yesterday

you got up early and went to bed late.

I didn’t expect you were just a whore.

I was almost touched by your banana oils.

I hate dudes like you.

Don’t think you can flaunt yourself

before me with your money.

Should I play submissive

to you like them and

respond to your cold words with smiles?

Should I flatter you

and call you honey despite your sneers?

Enough? It is my turn now.

Where are my gold threads?

How can I know where the gold threads are?

I have evidence from the site of theft.

As head showgirl of Wuyun Pavilion,

do you expect to deny and cover it up?

You must explain it clearly.

I have never done anything illegal.

Although it is hard to feed a girl,

you shouldn’t have stolen things.

Feng, they have progressed really fast.

You must pay me triple the cost if you damage any property here!

I have never quarreled with a girl.

Don’t push me to the corner.

Give me back the gold threads.

Do your own business.

We shouldn’t interfere with each other.

All the clues are directed to you.

Don’t deny it.

Sisters, help me!

- Release her. Let go. Come down. - What are you doing publicly?

What a lech you are!

How dare you force a girl like this!

Girls, catch and deliver him to the government.

Did he hurt you?

How are you wounded?

Don’t think you can do whatever you like

because you are the richest man in Silver City.

Everybody

must obey

the rules here.

Is she your head showgirl here?

It is a shame on your name.

She is just a thief.

Nonsense!

Who is a thief?

I definitely saw you

coming out of her room!

He entered my room?

Yeah.

When I saw him,

he was coming out of your room.

It is yours?

You even peeped at me bathing!

What an abnormal person you are!

I saw nothing.

What do you expect to see?

Seize him!

Come down. Don’t go away. Stop!

Du’s Mansion

Xiaoxian, it isn’t a sign of good luck

to dress up in white when the royal family comes.

Change a red one.

Father,

I don’t like to dress up in colors

to attend an official feast with you.

I am your daughter, not an entertainer.

Xiaoxian,

I can read your mind well.

Your beloved man

doesn’t appreciate others’ favors.

Although I am a powerful commissioner,

I still need the support of royal forces.

It is good timing now to win over His Highness!

Just do me a favor.

OK, I will change my clothes.

I wonder if you know the silk store

had something valuable stolen.

It’s the raw material of gold-thread clothes.

It was stolen during inspection at the quay last night.

Do formal business first.

His Highness is waiting for you now.

Father!

Enough. I still have official affairs to do.

Don’t talk to anybody

about what happened on Wuyun Pavilion.

Guess who I encountered

when I was inquiring about the trading place of the lower class.

Her servant girl!

I got some secrets from her.

Were you bullied?

No...

That is impossible.

I

got some important clues

from Xiaoqin.

The lower class

prefers to sell illegal valuables

at the black market.

Black market? I have heard about it.

It is frequented by the low people only.

Exactly, the illegal articles are sold on site.

It is the best place indeed.

Let’s go there tomorrow.

Your Highness, try this Globefish with Vinegar.

Years ago,

our first emperor highly praised it

after tasting it in Silver City.

Silver City is located in Sichuan.

Its economy has developed robustly

in recent years.

But its tax contributions to the capital city

have been on the decline these years.

Why?

Your Highness,

such a decline in tax contribution is

due to stronger resistance from the lower class

and the tax evasion practices

of some big merchants.

Well…

Why don’t you deal with it then?

I am afraid excessive suppression will

affect people’s livelihood and stability of our state.

Do you have any suggestions?

I think

we should shoot the early bird.

Crack down upon the big merchants

as a menace to others.

We can punish the lower class

according to our state laws.

In this way, Your Highness…

These days, I have deeply felt

the prosperity of Silver City,

particularly Southern City.

It has good social orders despite

the local preferences for martial arts.

It is said you have a female gang leader.

The lower-class people are unruly.

They don’t deserve Your Highness’ care.

My daughter Du Xiaoxian is a manager of Xinsilu,

the best silk store of Silver City.

If Your Highness wants

to personally know about public opinions,

my daughter can show you around.

A good father breeds a good daughter.

Although your daughter was born with a silver spoon in mouth,

she has her ambitions.

I really appreciate that.

Thanks for your compliment, Your Highness.

Your Highness, this is the most prosperous marketplace of Silver City.

It looks very special and unique.

It is lovely.

Your Highness.

The pastry is the most delicious here.

You can have a try, Your Highness.

Good.

Wu Lin,

Longxiang Bakery Remember to buy some pastry here before we leave.

Yes.

Ms. Du, do you know

a place called big bazar in the city?

It is a place of the lower class in the south.

The big bazar has an enormous gathering of the lower class.

We seldom go there.

It is not recommended to go.

Flowery umbrella!

Thanks for your advice, Ms. Du.

I think of something.

Wu Lin, escort Ms. Du back home.

- Yes. - I will leave first then.

Great!

Great!

Great!

Where on earth is the auction?

Nobody knows it.

Look for it again.

Great, great!

Master Long hasn’t shown up here

since opening of the black market.

It is so great

to see Master Long here today.

Yes, Master Long.

I am coming to get a rare article

at the request of my master.

Master Long,

you can take away

whatever you like at a low price here.

Yes, we will never increase the price.

Come on, a toast for you.

Thanks then.

Cone on.

Master, master, look.

It is that abnormal guy again.

He peeped at you bathing last time

and is here at the black market now.

Have you become his target?

I didn’t expect the rumor was true.

Considering his look,

he deserves your love, Master Long.

What are you talking about?

Bad luck indeed. Let’s go.

Master.

- Are you leaving? - Go.

Master Long, please wait.

Go away!

Just walk your own way.

Get out of my way here.

Do you think you can defeat me easily?

Master Long.

Whoever you are,

it is great to see an old acquaintance today.

Can you please tell me

how to get to the auction?

You are really a brazen person.

You can’t even stop your glib tongue when you ask for ways.

Why don’t you hang up the fish today?

It seems that peeping at a girl bathing

is a piece of cake for you.

It is just a misunderstanding that day.

I hope you won’t mind it.

Please accept it

as a token of forgiveness.

It is such a low gift.

Well.

I have no change for such a big teal of silver.

How about a barter trade?

I like this one.

Follow up.

Follow up!

Go.

Master, why did you let her go?

Follow up first.

Want to gloss it over with a low gift?

Well.

Don’t be too proud because of money.

Master.

Too many people. We lost her.

It was a tongue depressor

in the mouth of a dead person.

I knew they won’t behave themselves.

So I already

pasted some silk glands of noctuid on it.

They will become inconspicuous fine

threads and sag when it’s windy.

Alright.

Go.

Guard at the entrance.

Check if there are any forbidden goods,

particularly peppers.

Yes.

You look very strange. Who are you?

How can I be admitted?

You must have a reference or a letter of guarantee.

We are coming for an auction.

Do you still need a letter of guarantee from a payer?

Everyone must obey the rules at big bazar.

No access for strangers without a letter of guarantee.

We know that person.

Master Long?

OK, just take a seat.

Next, I declare

the auction starts now.

Look.

They found the entrance.

That abnormal guy is quite smart.

Most commodities for auction today

will be sold to the highest bidder.

After I declare the starting price,

if you are interested,

please raise your hand to offer a bid.

With multiple bids,

- the highest bidder will win it. - What a profiteer!

Let’s start it now.

Next, I will declare the first collection

for this auction.

Please check here.

- Bro. - Check them all.

Look.

What is the last commodity for today?

- Look carefully. - Forget him.

- Let’s wait for the last article. - Start bidding now.

150 teals.

Okay, 150 taels for this gentleman.

- Master, I have asked around. - 200.

Okay, 200 for the first time.

The box wrapped up in a linen bag

- is the last article. - 280.

It contains gold threads inside.

- I will get it right away. - Okay, 280.

Wait!

- They put the gold threads for auction - 280 the first time

- 280 for the second time - at the black market just to get money.

There are different types of people here.

- It is easy - 280 for the third time.

- to alert our target. - It’s sold!

OK.

Congratulations, friend.

You got the first one.

Everybody.

Silence, please.

Now,

- Snake Gang. Snake Gang. - let’s see

the second article for auction today.

Bro, emergency rescue.

Take others’ properties at good faith.

What a coincidence!

Thanks for rescuing me.

May I know your name?

I am Zhao Hongjin.

I am from Chang’an.

Zhao.

I am…

Long Aoyi,

master of the biggest gang in Silver City.

You are a heroine who protects the livelihood of silkworm farmers,

punishes the evil and helps the good.

I really appreciate that.

How did you know about me?

The gamble at Wanhua

was really so impressive to me.

Thanks.

OK, now I will declare

the next collection.

This iron crown

is a property of Mrs. Xian of the Liang Dynasty who is honored

as the No. 1 female general of China.

It has excellent and rare craftsmanship.

The starting price is 500 taels of silver.

600.

600 from this bidder.

800.

Ms. Long.

This bidder offers 800 taels.

How about I buying this crown for you?

Are there any other offerings?

- You are master of a gang in Silver City. - Any other offerings?

1,000.

- This crown of an heroine - This bidder offers 1,000.

of the late dynasty fits you well.

1,000, any other offerings?

Well, I…

Your Highness!

I smell peppers.

Go.

Okay.

I have something urgent to handle.

I have to go first.

It is a very good opportunity.

This treasure

is a rare one.

You won’t see it again if you miss it.

Any other offerings?

Dear all, is there any other offerings?

He adores you.

What? I don’t know him.

1,500 taels.

OK.

1,500 taels.

2,000.

OK.

2,000.

2,000 for the first time.

2,000 for the second time.

2,000 for the third time.

Sold!

Thanks for your support.

We are coming to the final stage of the spring auction.

The next commodity is very valuable.

Master, look, it is coming.

- It comes from the government secretly. - Look.

To avoid arousing governmental attention,

we will receive bids without exposing it.

Open bids are accepted.

The highest bidder will win it.

Let’s wait and see.

The auction starts!

It finally comes.

We are really inborn adversaries.

You bid for a small article

against me.

Okay, let’s play the game together.

You are really a mean person.

Are you going to bid up the price?

But don’t worry.

Nobody can take away my belongings.

No kidding.

How can you take it as your belongings?

How stupid is the richest guy in Silver City!

Luck is really on your side

to have such a big business.

20!

40!

50!

Okay, 50 from Master Long.

I remind you kindly.

Don’t get unreasonable by anger.

It may not what you need.

500 taels!

- 500! - 500!

This bidder rises to 500 directly!

I didn’t expect that.

The offering today

was really out of my expectation.

If any problems,

I can double the price.

The price hiked by ten times.

Please offer your price, Master Long.

I certainly can’t defeat this profiteer in fortune.

Tell me,

how did you escape

when you were besieged by our girls

at the whorehouse then?

Does it have anything to do with auction?

Why did you visit a whorehouse when you abstained from a girl?

I think you have a girl’s mind

even if you have a man’s body.

Sir,

the bidder failed to offer a bid for long.

Can I win the bid automatically?

Sir.

We didn’t

agree on the interval of offering.

Master Long, please continue your bid.

1,000 taels!

1,000!

Master Long offers 1,000!

Master, we don’t have even 500 in hand.

Go back and get it.

It is not easy

to find something that my master likes.

It is just money.

I just hate

this canning and arrogant dude.

Let me remind you here.

Don’t argue with money.

You can’t afford to lose it.

5,000 taels!

Stay calm.

Stay calm.

Don’t be too arrogant.

5,001 taels!

10,000 taels!

10,000 taels!

10,000 taels!

Small money.

I have never seen so much money in my life.

This bidder…

This bidder offers 10,000 taels!

10,000! It is 10,000!

Look at that.

- 10,000 for the first time. - It’s a sunny day today!

- Good weather! - It’s a sunny day today!

10,000 for the second time!

10,000 for the third time!

Sold!

10,000.

What?

May I take it away?

Money talks the loudest of all.

Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Sir, this way please.

Two thousand Taels of Silver

Master.

What are you doing here?

We came in from the backdoor

through special relations.

You have arrived just in time.

Escort the gold threads back.

Master, I found it.

This cloth is the uniform of Longzhu Gang.

It’s the girl who ruined our gold-thread clothes at Wanhua

and fought with you at the whorehouse.

What?

Give it to me.

Check the fabric.

No wonder

she kept disturbing me on the way.

She even had a public bidding for the gold threads with me just now.

She just expected to revenge me

for what had happened.

I got it.

Take it easy, Master.

I will deliver the gold threads back now

and report to the government.

Catch the leader first to destroy a gang.

- Go. - Okay.
