Episode 6

Why do you bring me here?

Say it.

Let me ask you,

if you kick the wall,

your foot should point up, right?

Why does this footprint

point down?

What do you want to say?

You mean,

the thief climbed down the wall to steal the gold thread?

The gold thread was lost at the dock,

not in the warehouse.

I thought you were smart enough.

Didn’t you tell me

these supervisors know

part of the information of the gold thread?

Have you ever thought about that

there might be mole?

Master Long

Do you think I spent the ten thousand taels

for nothing?

We never allow

outsiders to stay overnight.

Why did we invite you in?

You use me to find out the mole!

I might alert the mole

if I investigate it myself.

Besides

I paid you to do it. I won’t say it’s using.

It’s your mole,

why do you get me and Longzhu Gang involved?

It’s not like it has nothing to do

with Longzhu Gang.

Tell me

what do you think about

the footprints and the mole.

Profiteer.

Put your arm around my ear.

What do you want to do?

Have a try, it’s the key.

Stop the nonsense!

Come on.

Don’t act like a girl.

Hurry up.

Get closer.

Why are you sweating? Is it hot?

Don’t talk to my ears. It’s itchy!

What does this have to do with the mole?

What are you thinking about?

That’s the reason

why the footprint points down!

What were they doing?

They were doing what lovers can do.

What lovers can do?

What does that have anything to do with the mole?

I ask you to investigate the mole,

not to gossip!

The three supervisors only know part of the information.

What if they collude?

They will put the information together.

Understand?

Li Jun’er must have a lover.

And they often meet in this warehouse.

This is the evidence.

Who is that lover?

Now it’s your task.

My task?

Do you think it’s me?

Why do you act like an idiot

when it comes to relationship?

Think about it by yourself!

Hurry up.

Put the boxes at the door.

Yes.

Come on.

Wait for me!

The perfume you sprayed on Li Jun’er

is the same as the smell of Shuisheng.

How can you be sure that

he got the smell from her?

This is Wuyun Pavilion’s special Sugu Fragrance.

No one else in Silver City can make it.

Listen to this gaudy name.

I know it’s not something good.

Focus on investigating Shuisheng.

There is still one of the three informed supervisors

not being investigated yet.

Qi Zheng?

Is it not enough that Li Jun’er has the key to the warehouse

and Shuisheng knows the time?

Have you forgot that

neither of these two supervisors knows the unloading place?

The information is not complete yet.

If the entire of your management is under suspicion,

your place would be turned upside down.

Don’t forget to pay me then.

I am going to investigate.

Let’s check over there.

Wanhua

Your Highness.

Wanhua

Take care!

Your Highness.

Would Bai become desperate

and come to gamble again?

He has lost all his money.

Now he needs to raise money.

This place should be his stronghold.

Well,

how about we abduct the owner

and interrogate him?

It’s too early.

Let’s not alert them.

Shh.

Your Highness.

It’s the owner of Qingping Winery.

Here comes the prey. Get him.

Yes.

Don’t talk.

Sit down!

Don’t make any noise.

Just answer my question.

Got it?

Is Executive Bai next door?

Why did you go to see him?

We are good friends.

Sometimes we have a drink here.

Still lying?

Say it!

Zhao

According to Tang’s law,

whoever evades taxes

would face property confiscation

and seventy floggings.

And garrison the border for three years.

Why did you collude with the tax officer?

Master, mercy!

Mr. Bai asks for bribery with his power.

He lost money at the casino today.

So he asked each merchant for one thousand taels.

Master, please do justice for us!

Tell me,

have you kept accounts about the money?

Yes, every account.

200 Taels

Executive Bai

How much money have you gathered?

Who let you in? Get out!

Come on!

Take him down!

Well...

Well...

Mr. Magistrate.

Mr. Magistrate.

Your Highness.

For the black sheep like him,

I have got the evidence to prove him guilty.

Bai Xiaoshan!

As the officer of Salt and Iron Bureau,

you deliberately break the law

and take advantage of the tax revenue

to enrich yourself!

Do you admit your crime?

Take him down!

- Lord, I... - Let’s go!

Lord, listen to me, Lord!

Your Highness.

I still have official affairs to deal with. Sorry that I can’t keep you company.

Good day.

Take care.

Your Highness.

This is not right.

Wuyun Pavilion

I didn’t expect this handsome man

to be Prince Zhao.

However,

I bit his chin.

I even served

the prince that up close!

It will bring honor and glory to my ancestors.

I have to write it into my genealogy!

Haven’t you two met any man?

One bit his chin.

One scratched him.

Listen, if I didn’t show up in time,

were you going to murder the prince?

Then Wuyun Pavilion

has to be shut down!

Feng.

I’m fine.

- Your Highness! - Your Highness!

Don’t lose your composure.

Compared to the girls in Chang’an,

you two are really

more enthusiastic.

Luckily Your Highness won’t blame us.

You two make me angry.

Just go to work.

I can’t drive you away now?

Your Highness.

You must be here to look for Ms. Long.

Unfortunately,

she went to Xinsilu.

I’m afraid

she won’t be back for a while.

Xinsilu? It’s Li Qingliu again.

Why did Ms. Long go to Xinsilu?

She seemed to go there

for gold or silver thread.

Your Highness. Since Ms. Long is not here,

and you are very busy,

why don’t you go back first?

Go away!

Ermao.

- Ermao. - Go away.

Go home with me, okay?

Catch the chicken for me, hurry up!

Don’t run!

Ermao!

Don’t run!

Over there!

Over there!

- Come here, Ermao. - Hurry!

That way!

Over there!

Where?

I got you.

Thank you.

Sorry for that.

Look how sweet it is. It falls asleep.

What are you doing?

Go to work. Hurry up.

Hurry up.

It’s my chicken.

But I didn’t release it.

You can punish me as you want.

I’ll keep

this account for you now.

What are you doing?

It should be six strands of thread.

You only twisted five strands.

This kind of defective product

will ruin the reputation of our Silk Manor.

Get up.

Thank you.

Time can brew wine,

brew people,

and brew fine products.

Our weavers devote sixty days

to weave only a batch of silk

with exquisite patterns and amorous feelings.

Although silk is worth thousands of taels,

isn’t time

more precious?

Shouldn’t you cherish the time more?

Why does he have such a bad temper today?

He met something tricky today.

Such a good piece of cloth is wasted.

Look at what it is.

Look at the pig.

Does it look like Li Qingliu?

Are you happy now?

He is the pig.

Just ignore him.

Be happy.

It’s been some time since I came to the Silver City

Du’s Mansion as the Salt and Iron Bureau Officer.

I noticed that there are some hidden rules that need to be changed.

I heard from Commissioner Du that

the guild leaders

led from the front

and made a lot of contributions to the government these years.

But there is no making without breaking.

Why don’t we take turns

and let those who join the guild later

become the leader

and experience it.

Otherwise, people will say

the leader has more privileges

and the government treats the leader better.

Your Highness are right.

The guild leader has enjoyed many graces from the government.

We all want to enjoy the grace.

Good.

Since we are going to implement new rules

and establish new trends,

those who

accept the government investment in the next year

will be first considered to be the leader.

I have doubts.

I think

my Silk Manor

and other merchants in the silk guild

don’t need the government investment at the moment.

The grace of the government

should be given to

those who are in need,

which will better show

the grace of His Majesty to the merchants.

The price of manpower is rising.

We will take the government investment

in the next year.

We will also take the government investment in the next year.

Yeah.

That’s right.

Business is about righteousness since ancient times.

Those who pick up the bowl and eat meat,

put down the chopsticks and start to swear

are not allowed by the government.

Those who reject the government investment

would lose the righteousness of doing business.

Therefore he has no right

to be the guild leader.

I know you are anxious.

But the government investment

is a task assigned by the government.

We have no other choice.

It’s like a hot potato.

In fact,

we have to wait for our master.

Wait a moment.

What “instrument” were you talking about?

Government investment

is a loan from the government lent to merchants as equity participation.

After the merchant makes money,

the government would take some of the profit.

Isn’t that good to get money?

Why are you all frowning?

This is one of the methods that the government

uses to control merchants.

Once they accept the money,

there will be many things

that merchants can’t decide on their own.

Let me give you an example.

You want to build a house,

and I give you some beams.

When you have an autumn harvest,

I’m going to take some of your harvest.

Or,

I will not only punish you to do corvee labor

but also take away the beams of your house.

Isn’t it just like a butcher

killing the caw and sheep?

Tighten the rope little by little,

when the animals realize the danger,

it’s already too late to run away.

There is no free lunch in life.

If they need money,

just borrow from your master.

He is rich.

No...

Just sweep the floor.

Don’t chat.

Landlord.

You are here to sweep the floor,

not to gossip.

Instead of worrying about it,

you should find clues of the gold thread.

Don’t think the 10,000 taels

is that easy to earn.

You are using this to suppress me again.

I don’t care if it’s 10,000 or 20,000,

if you push me too far, I will quit!

Does money mean everything?

It’s easy for you to say it.

The price of yarn rose by 40 percent.

The price of leather doubled.

Brocade is completely out of stock.

The owners of these three businesses

changed their sides too quickly.

Other silk stores bought the goods

with a lower price than us.

They are against us.

If we keep producing in this speed,

there will only be two results.

We will lose money

and our stock will run out in two weeks.

What about

we offer a higher price?

How much higher?

Haven’t your realized that

they are coming after me?

I’m afraid no matter how much we offer,

no one would dare to sell goods to us.

Don’t you have other choices?

You have so much money.

Can’t you spend it in other places?

You don’t need to worry about it.

Do you want us

to search for the supply

all over the world?

Why not?

Qingliu.

We are being restricted everywhere.

Where should we get the supply?

I will

ask Father and Prince Zhao

to give us a way out.

You should also bow down a little bit.

Don’t be up against the storm.

The knife is on my neck,

if I bow down, wouldn’t I be slashed?

Qingliu.

Master Long, you stay.

The rest of you can leave now.

What can I do for you?

Could you please

use your network in the lower class

to contact the raw material suppliers of yarn and cotton in Jiangnan

and ask about the price?

I stay here

for 10,000 taels.

What network do I have?

There are thousands of workers in the Silk Manor.

Most of them are weavers and embroiders.

They are breadwinners of the family.

Have you ever thought about that

if I cut out their work,

what would happen to these people?

You are prodding me.

Give me the list!

Yan Bin!

Choose a good day,

I want to host a horse race to entertain the guest.

Got it!

This is the list of raw material suppliers in Jiangnan.

Contact them right now and ask for the price.

Suppliers in Jiangnan

Dyeing cloth Chiffon Cow leather

This horrible handwriting

is unbearable.

Unbearable

Give it to me!

Make a list

of the merchants who offered a price.

Invite them to

the horse race of Silk Manor

on the day of the Crown Prince’s Coming of Age Ceremony.

Use pigeon post.

Use pigeon post.

Miss.

You are here.

Take it.

There are more.

Miss.

Well,

what’s with

the couple of lovers in the warehouse?

You are only interested in gossip.

Am I here to investigate their love affair?

Just tell me about it.

First of all,

Li Jun’er has the key to the box of the gold thread,

which puts her under suspicion.

When they got the gold thread,

Li Jun’er had been waiting in Silk Manor.

She couldn’t steal it directly.

If she colluded with Shuisheng,

the two of them work from inside and outside respectively,

it would be much easier to steal the gold thread.

Well,

just tell it to Li Qingliu

and let him investigate it himself.

Let’s take the bounty

and live a free and unfettered life.

Not yet.

We don’t have positive evidence.

It would come off embarrassing if we act rashly.

Now the Silk Manor is busy with

preparing for the

horse and archery race.

It is said

there will be a bunch of businessmen from Jiangnan.

If Shuisheng stole the gold thread,

the horse race would be

his best chance to sell the gold thread.

I have to keep an eye on him.

All right, I need to go back now.

Miss, be careful when you go to the horse race.

Okay, go back now.

Be careful!

The leather guild took 20,000 taels.

The yarn guild took 30,000 taels.

The woven cotton guild also took 20,000 taels.

Master...

Bastard!

What things that His Highness can’t hear?

Your Highness, Mr. Du.

Li Qingliu

is making a big move in Silver City.

He invited all the raw material suppliers from Jiangnan.

It’s said

he is going to hold a horse and archery race

on the day of the Crown Prince’s Coming of Age Ceremony.

Well.

Look.

He is reaching out his hands.

We can make some trouble

at the horse race

and make him shoot his own feet.

The royal family

doesn’t use dirty move!

Your Highness are right.

Then let’s wait and watch.

Please, Your Highness.

Horse Race

Master Li.

Miss Du.

Mr. Shen, long time no see.

Long time no see.

Mr. Shen, please have a seat there.

Okay.

Although Mr. Shen is from Shanxi,

he is the largest silk merchant in Jiangnan now.

Mr. Shen, I’ve long heard your name.

- Long time no see. - Long time no see.

I must win him over today.

- Mr. Li. - Long time no see.

- Long time no see. - Have a seat.

Shuisheng, if I don’t keep an eye on you,

isn’t it like letting the tiger go back to the mountain?

Everyone!

Everyone!

The horse race and archery today

has the same rules as usual.

The difficulty increases with

the size of the dough.

No matter which dough you get,

Master Li from Xinsilu has prepared a reward for you.

Whoever shoots the small rabbit-shaped pink ball in the field

will be rewarded with a mystery prize!

I declare the game starts now!

Please.

Bravo!

- Bravo! - Nice!

Well done!

Not good.

So close.

Be careful.

Please.

- Nice! - Well done!

Mr. Zhang from Jiangsu and Zhejiang is excellent.

You are flattering me.

Bravo!

Let’s sign now.

Sir.

Well.

Xinsilu Contract Fulin

Please take care of

Fulin of Mr. Dong and Mr. Lin.

The merchants of Zhejiang and Sichuan were never on good terms before.

Today,

Master Li holds such a grand event.

Let’s cast aside the previous enmity.

We will be family

from today.

Good!

Nice!

- Master Li. - Bravo!

This time Xinsilu offered a high price.

Very good.

Exactly.

One should know when to stop. I’ll sign it.

Mr. Shen.

Put it here.

Be careful.

Please.

Be safe.

Master Long?

Are you going to take part in the race?

No, I just take a look at the horse.

Why are you so tiny?

So adorable.

Come on, have more.

You dare to be up against Miss Du,

let me teach you a lesson today.

Master Long.

Since you want to have a try,

why don’t you ride this big horse?

Is this too big for me?

Master Long, please.

Please.

My god!

Slow down!

Isn’t that Master Long from the dock of Silver City?

Stop!

I want to stop!

Is she all right?

It seems serious.

What should we do?

This is a

funny show arranged by Master Li, right?

They tried hard. Why does Master Long help him that much?

Master Long lives in the Silk Manor now.

They might get married in the future.

Please go back to your seat, everyone.

Please.

Come on.

Master Long.

How are you? Are you all right?

You will see.

Come here, sit down.

Be careful.

You seem

to be stylish

and carefree.

I didn’t expect you to be so caring

and live such an exquisite life.

Listen.

I live in Wuyun Pavilion

and hang out with those girls every day,

but I always forget

to use any perfume or powder.

But the odor of you that day

was very peculiar.

What do you mean?

I am a man.

How would I wear perfume?

Since you didn’t use it,

then it must be Li Jun’er who used it.

You...

You are smearing me!

Don’t panic.

If I don’t have positive evidence,

how can I be so sure?

Don’t think I didn’t notice that

you two were cheating in the warehouse.

Li Jun’er knows the delivery time.

You know the supply list.

Qi Zheng is dating with Chubby.

You hid it for him,

so you might know the location.

In this case,

you are most suspected of stealing the gold thread.

Master.

Several merchants refused to sign.

Shen Yiguan is the first one.

Okay.

Let’s meet him.

I came to the Silk Manor

to win the bounty

of Li Qingliu.

It’s 8,000 taels.

If you tell me

where the gold thread is,

I will give you half of it.

Then we can secretly

give back the gold thread to the owner.

It’s hard for you to sell it anyway.

No one dare to buy it now.

What do you think?

You are looking down on me.

Master Li has been treating me well.

He let me take charge of the selling.

If I want to enrich myself,

it would be more than 10,000 taels

he promised you.

Jun’er and I do have an affair.

But we are both single.

We are not cheating.

If you think

I stole the gold thread

because we know part of the information,

you can tie me up and send me to the government.

I know how they torture people

in the prison of Silver City.

I would never ruin my future

just for the gold thread.

Mr. Shen.

Where did I not entertain you well?

You sincerely

invited me to such a good place.

It’s just

after I got here,

I found there is something wrong.

What’s wrong? Mr. Shen, you can tell me.

You never

raised the price before.

Even when we delivered the goods to your place and sell on credit,

you might not take it.

But when I came to Silver City this time,

I found the entire Silver City,

from the special envoy of the capital to the commissioner in Silver City,

are all isolating you.

What if we offer the supply to you

and the government intervenes?

What would we do then?

What would you do?

You are being too serious.

Our business is more than silk.

If anything happens as you said,

we still have an industrial pledge.

I’m a rough fellow,

I know nothing about the pledge.

What I care about is your sincerity.

Not gimmicks like horse race.

I heard that

Mr. Shen is addicted to gambling.

We can spend some money to win him over.

Arrange a gambling game.

I wonder

what is not a gimmick for you?

How about

we get up a game and have some fun?

You are straightforward.

Then let’s have some fun.

Please.

Are you more familiar with cards or dice?

I never played cards before.

But to show my sincerity today,

I’ll listen to you.

You make a bet and I’ll follow.

Good.

In that case,

let’s not be petty

and guess round.

What about guessing the side of the coin?

Take a coin.

You and I each pick one side.

Drop the coin vertically into the water.

The person whose side faces up

when the coin falls to the bottom will win.

That’s fair.

Go away.

May I ask this is...

Chief of Longzhu Gang, Long Aoyi.

Right now I am the personal maid of Master Li.

My job is sweeping the floor.

Sorry for making you laugh.

Interesting. Interesting.

They have a study partner.

Master Li has a gambling partner.

That’s good.
