The Plough Department Of Song Dynasty

Episode 12

General Cao

I told you it's dangerous here!

Daughter.

General.

Daddy's fine.

Daddy's fine.

Look after my dad.

General.

Are you alright?

I'm ok

You see that?

She's looking out for me when things happened.

Are you ok?

Impressive.

No wonder she's my Shifu.

My Lord

General Cao and the Plough

and the governor's people

are fighting a herd of monsters.

Surround the Yuqionglou Restaurant.

Don't let those felons escape!

Yes, my lord!

Go!

Yan Zheng, stop!

Yan Zheng

Where do you think you're going

Looks like the Plough does live up to its reputation.

Looks like your plot has just blown up in your face

I'm about to leave the capital.

Can't take those gismos with me any way

Consider it a disposable reutilization.

Now that they are all officially disposed.

What are you gonna do?

Yan Zheng

You might as well surrender

Physically,

I'm no match for you guys

But it won't be that easy

to arrest me.

He... he..

I'll see you when I see you

Don't come back without Yan Zheng in custody

Move!

I can't move

I guess justice finally prevailed.

Your Majesty.

About the corruption case against Yang Daqi, Yan Zheng, et al

Here's the evidence.

In addition,

This is the detailed acount records of the government treasury

Can prove Yang Daqi's embezzlement.

And there's a list of names of his co-conspirators

I would also like to impeach the Assistant administrator Wei Lin

Who took advantage of said project

Collaborating with Yan Zheng, Yang Daqi and company

Taking bribe

To feather his nest

This kid

Can't believe he survived a fall that high.

It was all my falt. I was reckless

We have no idea

if he's gonna wake up.

Rest assure.

Dongming said

He'll be fine.

He'll wake soon

He's moving

He's about to wake.

Daughter.

You were so worried

Now he's awake.

And you're just gonna leave?

What is this?

Teenage girls can be complicated.

Kid

Kid

How are you feeling

Sis Kaiyang

Is Yan Zheng dead?

So it's another dead end?

No

Dou Cheng has already uncovered\Nincriminating evidence linked to Yan Zheng

Wei Lin was head of that project

He won't get away.

I was wrongfully accused!

You may speak.

Yang Daqi's in collusion with Yan Zheng

The sheer audacity, the greed.

I...

...had no idea until just now

I'm in shock

and I blame myself

for being a poor judge of charactor

for this to happen on my watch.

If Mr.Kang would accuse me of this

I had no excuse.

But Mr.Kang accused me of collusion

of being a part of their crime.

I can not abide.

Wei Lin.

Each expense

were checked and signed by yourself.

Without your permission, those money can't be expend!

How dare you say you're not involved!

Kang Pingzhong!

You're also an Assistant administrator.

Are you sure those issues you signed are flawless?!

Your majesty.

Although I was in charge of Yuqing Palace

project and sacrifice rites on Mt. Tai.

But I also have so many affairs to deal with.

Can't see through everything in person.

If my men collude in cheating

hided things from me.

How would I know that?

No quibble!

You...

Do not quibble!

Your majesty!

Your majesty!

I devote myself to you and to this court

I've never think for myself once!

The Yuqing Palace project

Finance department and Ministry of works

all said that would take fifteen years.

But I worked day and night

barely rest a little.

So that only took seven years

all finished.

In Chunhua years

civilians in Xialu province rebelled

You sent me there

to pacify them

and settle the situation!

Wang Jun's rebellion in Chunjun province.

I went there alone.

persuaded the rebel army

to pay allegiance to the court.

There's more

In Tianxi years,

that was still me...

Wei Lin!

If you have no ability,

how could you become the prime minister?

Man with ability but no virtue

should not be an official.

Man has contribution but broke the law

should also be punished!

Your majesty!

Kang Pingzhong just enevy the talents!

I only hope

I can retire and back to hometown.

Enough!

You're the primie minister

How could you cry in tears in the court!

Prime minister Kang

That Yanzheng and Yang Daqi's case,

there's no solid evidence

to proof Wei Lin is also related.

You accuse another prime minister

by some conjecture.

That is

not quite appropriate

No matter what

at least you should still

be blamed by your oversight.

I'll deduct three season's salary

you'll not be promoted in three years.

Do you plead guilty?

I plead guilty.

Your majesty!

Enough!

You're making me headache again.

Lei Yun

Yes.

Send two prime ministers out.

Yes.

Prime ministers.

Please.

Prime minister Wei

This way.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Are you trying to max me out?

Honey.

Since you know that was a mistake.

Come home with daddy.

You're on your own here.

I can't stop worrying about you.

Who forgave you?

I did save you.

But I didn't forgive you.

Honey.

Look,

You think your mother was bullied.

Another woman fooled my eyes.

That just your imagination!

Right.

When I took that woman in

your mother did feel wronged.

But now

dad had apologized

to your mom.

Your mom

has already forgiven me.

Come home with me.

Now you put on nice words.

You were so mean to me!

And you slaped me!

Honey.

You're the one who have quick temper.

You started the fight...

first...

If you just argued with me like this,

I... I wouldn't got angry, right?

So I should be slapped?

You slapped me!

You did!

My dear!

I was wrong.

I was wrong!

I have appologized like a thousand times.

You can't just disown your father, right?

My waist.

Honey.

My waist.

Honey.

My waist!

My waist...

Honey, look

I have been fighting wars all my life.

Now I'm old.

Don't know how much time I have left...

I just want you home

So your mom and I

can enjoy the joy of family harmony.

My daughter.

Dad.

I like this place.

You like here?

I think

I'm very happy here.

at least, it's better than being a lady at home.

Yes

Though what you say is right,

after all, home is home!

How about

dad makes make more appologize to you?

General Cao

Given your daughter's character,

you expect her

to be a noble lady.

Do you think it's possible?

Yaoguang

Plough Department' flower growers

are so undisciplined.

Dares he talk to your dad in this manner?

If he is a flower grower,

I'll be flower soil.

I am the

defense minister of the Plough Department

Yinguang

Yin?

You always shift faces.

Aren't you tired?

Yaoguang,

she can't live as a bird in a cage.

As for you

should let her fly freely.

She would be happy only in this way.

Yaoguang,

your dad loves you deeply

your father longs for family harmony,

which is human nature.

I think

you don't have to leave the Plough Department.

Cao's mansion is just in capital Liang

and it is not far.

You can go home more often.

you can get together

with your parents

It is also the responsibility

for being a daughter.

Yin,

Good point.

Daughter.

What do you think?

Fine.

It's a matter of fact

Go home with dad.

Daddy,

you go back first.

You tell my mom,

I'll be back in a couple of days.

I have unfinished business

well

I'll leave first

Yaoguang.

Yaoguang.

Stand there.

It's me!

Cao

You're just a military soldier.

Don't you understand your daughter?

I don't.

She has promised to come back with you.

It is a good start.

She will go back.

Yin

you see I can command a large army

calm and easy.

But I can't control my daughter?

Go home

I... I..

Listen to me...

What?

What's wrong with these two?

I

No wonder they are family!

Your majesty has something on your mind.

Minister Kang and Wei were against each other in the court.

I'm worried about that.

You see how majestic the the Yuqing palace is!

Back then, Officials dissuade me.

Only prime minister Wei supported me on the construction.

I was so grateful to him.

However, he completed the project

in very short time.

I thinks highly of him

promoted him to prime minister.

But now

Prime minister Kang and others

took the financial accountbook, told me that

Wei Lin embezzled from it

and gain a great wealth from the project.

Why do you think he did so?

Why would he ruin my trust in him?

Your majesty,

Do you have a solid proof?

Both Yan Zheng and Yang Daqi has died

there isn't exact witness

However,

Such amount has been corrupted.

If you say that Wei Lin knows nothing of it,

I

I can't lie to myself, can I?

I think it differently.

Does guru have good suggestions?

His Majesty

Wei Lin took seven years to complete the major project

which were supposed to be finished in fifteen years.

He is really a rare talent.

As for the extra cost

because they worked day and night

shortened half of the construction time.

That makes sense.

In this way

If his men

cheated him on the project

It is impossible for Wei Lin to know everything.

The construction of Yuqing Palace

is the major project for your majesty

links heaven and earth,

and your majesty's sacrifice rite on Mt. Tai

was a great event for history to remember.

Now,

since there's no evidence

shows that Weilin was involved.

If Your Majesty Punish meritorious minister,

I'm afraid that it will

make all the ministers

and people disappointed.

And it could infuriate the heaven.

You're right.

If I punished Wei,

people will consider that

I kick down the ladder

without tolerance and generousity.

How intelligent guru is!

How wise your majesty is!

What?

Have I heard you right?

How come Weilin didn't get punished?

It's not like that.

It's just his majesty thinks that

Weilin didn't get involved in the corruption

and he was just fooled by his subordinates,

so as punishment,

he was fined 3 quarters' salaries,

and his promotion opportunities would be reduced for three years.

Can this even be called a punishment?

It's nearly nothing for Weilin!

What about us?

We've been worked so hard!

Is our work gonna be in vain?

After all, he is a prime minister.

Without valid evidence,

even his majesty

cannot punish him for no reason.

Is his majesty blind?

Look at Weilin!

what a treacherous and evil face!

He cannot be forgiven even being cut ten thousand times!

What the hell!

How could you let him get away with it!

My dear Taisui,

you are wrong.

During the official selection,

the most important thing is one's appearance.

Weilin's appearance and bearing

is not that bad,

right?

I'm very angry now.

Don't joke with me.

No matter how angry you are,

you should obey the rules.

Saying bad words about his majesty,

you have already commited a crime.

Yaoguang,

it's you who normally guide him.

How to punish him, do you have any idea?

I also think his majesty is blind!

The whole world knows Weilin is a jerk.

Only his majesty thinks he is a decent man.

Shifu

I strongly agree with your words.

What can I do with you two!

Just go.

Let me explain it to them.

You should keep in mind that

the reason why one is called the treacherous

is not because of his evil,

but his cunning.

Only a cunning man can reach such a high position,

and do some evil things without being detected.

What's the point being so angry?

You must be

more brilliant and more excellent

than those treacherous guys.

Only in this way,

can you bring them to justice.

However with such a fatuous ruler,

no matter how clever

and competent we are,

we won't make any difference.

Calm down.

Only when you calm down

can you find your rival's weakness,

and beat him.

Listen carefully!

Doucheng,

Xingyi,

What brought you here?

I used to have a bias against

the Plough Department and you.

However, after the battle in Yuqiong Tower,

I saw your competence.

And thanks to you and Mr. Liu,

I was able to beat the rap.

So I'm here today to say thank you.

Are you serious?

There are two of us,

but you only have one dessert!

How mean you are!

As fsr as I know,

court officials all have considerable salaries.

That being said,

what you don't know is that

Mr. Dou likes buying books

which are very expensive.

What a costly nerd!

What?

Don't take it seriously.

I'm just joking!

All right.

Actually,

I also had prejudice against you.

How about this,

as a way to express my apology

I'll treat you with a drink later.

How about Mr. Liu?

Liu?

Don't mind him.

If you want him to join us,

we must go to the brothel like Red Sleeves House.

He can't even stand when seeing beautiful ladies!

So today,

it's just us!

Let's go!

Sorry.

Let's go.

Go!

Okay.

For this cup of wine,

I'd like to make a toast to you.

Although your Court of Judicial Review

looks useless,

now I find that

it's really useless.

But you two are really hard working.

Come on!

Cheers!

Taisui,

how could you say that!

What do you mean by "useless"?

Ummm...

I mean

The Court of Judicial Review is not of big use.

Yeah!

I don't agree with you.

The Plough Department do pose a threat

to some fierce and uncontrollable criminals.

But I'm still gonna say that

to maintain the law

and justice,

resorting to the three justice departments is the right way.

Not necessarily!

Take Yanzheng for example,

it is us, the Plough Department, who arrested him, isn't it?

Can you, the Court of Judicial Review,

do the same?

So I don't think the Plough Department is completely useless,

but it's uncomparable with

the justice departments throughout history.

The question is

how many "Yanzheng" in the world,

and how many criminals?

So it's pretty clear

which department values more.

My lord,

Taisui,

you are here to make a compromise today.

Why are you arguing again?

No, you're wrong.

Although we are here

to have a drink,

we have to make it clear

our points.

Right?

Definitely!

I have to make it clear!

Taisui,

What is the Plough Department?

It was established when our country was founded.

There has never been

such a judiciary department in the past dynasties

They still had he country well governed.

But judicial department like us

is absolutely indispensable.

Your Plough Department

was just established for backup.

What do you mean?!

Look down on our department?

Wasn't I who caught Yan Zheng?!

Buy you guys

took away the account book!

Then did you arrest that old fox?!

You didn't!

He is still

a noble prime minister!

Tai Sui.

You can't deny the value of

judicial office for the reason that

someone got away with law by accident.

They got off.

'Cause we didn't get enough proof.

Facing the evil people,

we can't condemn them by conjecture!

Got it?!

Moreover,

I won't let the case go at that.

I'll find the evidence.

Get the truth.

Then bring him to justice.

Okay.

Then let's see

who can arrest that old fox first.

Okay.

Come.

Xingyi.

Come.

Cheers.

Sis Kaiyang.

Why you're always studying on

these stuffs?

Don't underestimate them.

These are awesome machanism beasts.

Back then, God-artisan and Ghost-artisan

were both famous in the world.

They two joined the Plough Department together.

Ghost-artisan is my Shifu.

That God-artisan is Yan Zheng.

You mean

Yan Zheng was one of our department?

That's it.

So this Yan Zheng

was right God-artisan of our Plough Depratment.

Never thought

we've looked for him for many years,

but he is right around us.

Those men who left our department

wwere all recruited by

the previous starking Yinguang.

About their identity.

We don't know, either.

I think

I've understood

what the great event

Yan Zheng said is.

It's been decades,

there men

are still that extreme.

If they're not,

they wouldn't leave our department.

And started their own business.

There were many talented people in our department.

Really awe-inspiring.

If we hadn't been divided into two sides.

And the previous starking Yinguang

hadn't took away many men,

our deaprtment wouldn't have been so unheeded.

Since he was one of our department,

why he would be against us

with those vicious men.

He has been away from us for long,

besides, not so many people knew him.

Makes sense.

Except men of our deaprtment,

no one would know such awesome mechanism.

No, you're wrong.

In such a big world.

There are so many talented men.

How could we make them all our men.

I know that.

Anyway,

now Yan Zheng is dead.

In this world,

no one knows such good mechanism

as you do, sis Kaiyang.

No.

Still one I knew.

Who's that?

He is far away.

In this world,

all good things must come to an end.

Don't know when I can meet him again.

My lady!

My lady!

What's wrong with you?

My lady?

Wake up, my lady!

Ask the imperial doctor here!

My consort.

My consort.

My consort.

What happened?

Mother fainted when relaxing in the imperial garden.

The doctor has checked her,

still don't know why.

My consort.

It's me.

Hurry open your eyes.

I'm here to see you.

My consort.

She...

Whats' wrong?

Father.

I heard that

starking Dongming of the Plough Department has great medical skill.

Shall we...

I forgot this.

Zhou Zheng.

Spread my order.

Summon defense minister Dongming

to check my consort.

Yes, your majesty.

All idiots!

Leave here now.

Your majesty.

What?

Your majesty.

Consort Shu got ill so suddenly.

Even the docotrs couldn't find the cause.

I'm afraid Dongming can't help with it.

Your majesty.

Why not ask guru Demiao here?

Guru Demiao has excellent magic power.

I think she can cure my lady.

Makes sense.

Hurry go.

Yes, your majesty.

My consort.

Wake up.

My consort.

Don't scare me.

Please.

Guru.

Hurry up.

Hurry up, hurry.

Eunuch Zhou.

You finally get him here.

Eunuch Lei.

My lady hasn't woken up yet.

His majesty has no mood to study on Taoism.

You're not a newcommer.

How could you make such a mistake?

Eunuch Zhou.

You got me wrong.

It's his majesty who

asked guru Demiao here

to check consort Shu.

I was ordered to

check for consort Shu.

How dare you, an eunuch,

find fault with that!

Eunuch Lei.

It's a rule of the palace.

The doctor

who comes to check for consorts in the harem,

should be tested by the imperial hospital in advance.

Lest a quack would creep in.

Don't know that whether

this guru Demiao has been tested?

This is an exception.

You know.

Consort Shu got ill all of a sudden.

Very severe.

All the imperial doctors have no cure.

But guru Demiao has good magic power.

Maybe this time,

guru can find a way

to cure consort Shu.

Maybe?

Defense minister.

Checking for my lady matters more.

This way please.

How is that?

Your majesty.

My lady's illness.

It's very odd.

So you don't know why, either?

Your majesty.

We'd better let guru Demiao try this.

You two have checked my consort.

What's wrong with her?

Your majesty.

As I see,

it's not illness.

But...

Nightmare spell.

Nightmare spell?

Yes.

Someone cursed my lady using nightmare spell.

So she fell into coma.

As long as we find the cursed stuff.

My lady will recover then.

Darned!

Who dared

hurt my consort?!

Your majesty.

But as I checked,

consort Shu got poisoned by some undead insect.

What?!

How could there be

undead insect in my palace?!

I have no idea about that.

Then how to cure her?

Your majesty.

The socery of undead insect is exceedingly odd.

With hundreds of methods to cause the same symptom.

Before we know

which Gu poison is in consort Shu.

If we cure her hastily,

Consort Shu may die.

I dare not do that.

Your majesty.

Guru Demiao is powerful.

Ordinary people can't match her in this.

In my opinion,

her words must be true.

We'd better search the whole palace now.

To find the cursed stuff.

Thus consort Shu can get recovered.

No!

Your majesty.

Same thing always happened in the harem.

Someone used socery to distract attention.

Killed their enemies.

Please think it twice, your majesty.

Defense minister.

No matter it's Gu poison

or nightmare spell.

It's sure that someone wants to hurt consort Shu.

Isn't it?

Wait.

That's right.

Your majesty are wise.

Since that,

we should find the plotter first.

Defense minister.

Am I right?

Your majesty.

Consort Shu didn't get ill.

But got poisoned by others.

If we couldn't find the plotter soon,

I'm afraid my lady will die.

Guru.

I allow you to act as you see fit.

All the palaces are open for you.

Do find the plotter!
