Episode 42

Miss, keep chasing?

Why?

That was already ruined.

Wasn't this burnt?

There is another note book on the desk. I got two.

Only one was burnt.

Brilliant!

How can I let such an important thing be burnt?

What's on this?

I don't understand.

Can you?

Don't look at me!

I'm nearly illiterate!

Song, we know this.

It sounds like you can understand this.

We almost lost our lives on making great efforts

to get this useless thing.

We don't even understand it.

No matter what it is,

it means a lot to the Japanese.

Or, Oda Xianrong wouldn't have come for this.

Isn't the man a translator?

But he has left.

Well,

let me try.

You are not the only one who can look it up.

I can, too.

Shut up!

Why should I shut up?

Don't say that.

- I want! - Stop that.

I want to say!

I��

Seriously?

I want!

I said it!

I want!

Really?

So what? I said it!

Can you understand?

Say it again!

Go.

Look at you.

What's wrong?

Why should I go?

Enough!

Hey.

Coming!

Song?

What's up?

What happened?

Liangchen, I,

I want to ask you, where is Xie Xiang?

I can't find her at her school recently.

Did something happen to her?

No. She has gone back to Peking.

Back to Peking?

When will she come back?

She won't.

What?

Then where will she go?

She will study abroad.

Abroad?

She has already left.

She won't come back?

Song.

Huang Song!

What happened?

I don't know.

What's going on?

Coming!

Liangchen,

let's go.

Follow me to a place.

Where?

A good place.

Go dress up.

Now!

What's that? Why so mysterious?

Cut your question. Go now.

Dress neatly.

Got it.

OK.

Ready?

Wait a second.

Is your sister as tall as you?

Wait, she is a little shorter than you.

That's fine.

I can stand on my toes.

Get down here!

You are taking photos with me, and what do you have to do with my sister?

Be serious.

OK.

Sir, you can start.

OK.

Wait!

What again?

Liangchen, stay close to me.

Closer.

You are so annoying.

More smile.

Smile.

Yes, right.

Is it OK?

Yes.

We can start.

One, two, three.

Why do you want to take photos now?

Nothing.

I just want to take photos.

After I earn money later, I will take my sister,

brother-in-law and He to take photos together.

We haven't got a family photo yet.

A photo doesn't cost so much.

Why should you wait later?

I can borrow a camera and take photos for you and your family.

Really?

Sure. Why should I lie to you?

Great!

Liangchen, my sister is pregnant.

I will become an uncle!

Really?

That'll be great!

We can go together then.

Perfect.

Huang Song?

Gu Yanzhen. Why are you back now?

Grown up, huh?

You dare to drink here.

Aren't you afraid of being caught by Lu?

I'm sad now.

What happened?

I lost my love.

What?

Have you ever fallen in love?

No. Then why did you say that?

I've made a decision

that I'll keep studying

and find a good job

with a good salary.

When I get enough money,

I'll build a big house for my

sister and her husband.

The biggest one in our village.

And after that, I will think about marriage.

Come on,

cheers.

Tell you what,

I'm not drunk.

Yes, right.

Go get more wine for me.

You're not drunk.

Go wait outside. I'll bring you wine.

Alcoholic.

I tell you...

Open the door! Open the door!

Last time,

you said you would marry me.

Is that still counting?

Yes.

Why are you back?

Didn't I tell you not to drink so much?

Why are you drunk again?

I'm bored.

What could I do if I don't drink?

You drunk because you were bored?

Are you hungry?

Yes.

Let's go back and I'll make noodles for you.

Back to where?

Back to home!

Do you have a home?

The tavern.

The house of the tavern is mine.

But that is my home.

Tell me why,

why did you come back?

You are not happy?

No.

I thought you wouldn't be back.

It was like a dream.

On the 7th, Evan went to Mozi Mountain with the translator and stayed for three days.

On the 13th, they went to Yushantun and stayed for two days.

And then Gutainan for one day.

On the 25th,

he took the translator to Xiantao Village and stayed for days

until he accidentally died in the gunfight on the 29th.

This is Evan's whole trip in Shunyuan this month.

The location should be around here.

There should still be under the government's control,

and it's large.

It's not easy for us to get it.

Make an appointment with Mayor Bai for me.

Yes.

According to the contents,

this Russian should be an excellent geologist.

The distribution of minerals in Shunyuan is recorded in detail in the notebook.

I thought it should be something important.

What is important

is about the distribution of graphite ore.

What is graphite ore?

A kind of minerals.

Graphite has good chemical stability at high temperatures.

The specially processed graphite

is corrosion-resistant, heat-conductive and has low permeability.

The most important is that graphite can make steel.

If enough graphite were available,

Japanese steel production would at least be triple.

What do iron and steel mean to the country?

Do I need to explain it?

That seems to be their purpose.

They are so greedy.

I still have a question.

What do iron and steel mean to a country?

I don't understand.

The iron and steel are��

Song, you don't need to understand this kind of things.

Just forget it.

Then what should we do now?

Here is it,

since this is so important to them,

it means that they still don't know the location of it yet.

Then let's start first and get the land.

This is mining! It can't be this easy!

It's difficult for others,

but for me-

Wait for my news.

Let me see this.

Take this one there.

Go.

Master, did young master cause trouble again?

This time

he did a good job.

Yes, yes, right.

You are totally right.

Yes.

Don't worry, I can handle this.

OK.

OK. Alright. Yes.

Then that's it.

OK.

Bye.

Bye.

What's wrong?

The phone calls can't stop for the whole morning.

Who was it this time?

Vice Director Gu.

He asked me for help.

Isn't he in Nanjing?

Yes. So what?

Don't you know his power?

Since he has asked,

I should help him anyway.

Well, what's that?

He wants me to give the No.9 land to Shen Family.

They want to mine that place.

What does it have to do with Shen Family?

Mr. Gu's son and Mr. Shen's second son are classmates in the Academy.

Then just give it to them.

It's about Gu Family and Shen Family.

That's not difficult to decide.

It's easy to say it,

but the problem is that the Japanese COC also called me for lands just now.

And the No.9 land is in them.

I have already promised them.

Japanese? Why did they get involved too?

Who knows?

So what to do now?

If you promise one, the other will surely be offended.

Miss, a call from the government told us that

No.9, No.10 and No.11 land will be auctioned

at the City Hall in seven days.

Auction?

Didn't Mayor Bai promise us that he would sell these three lands to us?

Something must have happened.

Documents about the auction have been formally issued.

There's no way to change it.

How to?

The auction is open to people from all walks of life.

The main items are these lands.

The rest are some antiques and shops.

Old fox!

It seems that someone wants to compete with us for these lands.

Prepare the money now.

Yes.

to the bidder No.44!

Congratulations!

This is the end of this auction. Thanks for your coming!

Lord Chengrui!

Congratulations on buying these three lands with 200,000.

This is a big deal in Shunyuan.

Lord is so generous!

That's nothing. And I should thank for your help.

I wonder what you will do with them. For some business?

I don't know yet.

I want to ask you for your advice.

Stop kidding me.

You spent 200,000 on it.

You must have your own purpose.

Why did you ask me?

To be honest, I know nothing about them.

I came today because I heard that

Oda Xianrong from the COC wants to get these lands intensely.

And you, Shunyuan COC is also interested in them.

I belong to the lost Qing Dynasty.

And I was too idle to run a business,

not like you, a business elite.

If you could help me with these three lands,

and make some difficulties for the Japanese,

I would like to cooperate with you.

This is not a good place for talking.

Lord, please.

Although news from Rong Mansion

said that her ladyship died of illness,

it must have something to do with Oda Xianrong.

If that's true,

then maybe we could trust Lord's words.

Rong Mansion is rich and generous.

As for money,

none of us and the Japanese can fight against him.

And Lord Chengrui has studied abroad and is open-minded,

who is different from those

stubborn people who always want to restore Qing Dynasty.

Except for these three lands,

he even paid 300,000 for the mining.

He is so sincere.

Compared with the Japanese,

he is already on our side.

Mine construction and mining are not that easy,

and we have no technician, and no equipment,

although we temporarily get the lands,

there is still a lot to do.

Gu Yanzhen's father transported a batch of equipments

for our early exploration.

Professor He of Peking University introduced several experts to me in this field

and wrote us the recommendation letter.

We'll set off early tomorrow morning

and visit them one by one.

We must invite them over.

As for the Academy, I have talked to Director Guo.

OK.

Wish us a success.

This matter

is too important for both our family

and our country.

Junshan!

You're back.

Are you going out?

Where are you going? Let me send you to there.

Don't bother. I will go with Gu Yanzhen.

I haven't seen you much lately.

I'm doing something for my family.

About the graphite mine?

Did you start?

Almost. The machines will arrive this afternoon.

Didn't Gu Yanzhen tell you?

He also has shares.

He said he didn't want to care about this.

I'm leaving now.

Bye.

Professor Chen,

you must be tired.

Professor Wu,

welcome!

OK.

Let's go.

This way.

Please.

This is Chen Yue and Wu Jinzhi?

Yes,

both of them came back from England,

and are Mr. Matsumoto's classmates.

They are famous in the field of geology.

Mr. Matsumoto recommended them in particular.

We sent people to invite them for several times, but they all refused.

Unexpectedly, they went to Shen Family.

Mr. Miyazawa said

if they can't work for us,

then they don't have to exist.

Professor. Get on the car.

Professor Chen, Mrs. Chen,

today is the New Year's Day.

We want to invite you for dinner.

OK. Thank you.

Come on.

Watch out!

Come on!

Follow me!

Professor, are you OK?

I'm fine.

How is it? Everything all right?

That's fine.

It's not safe here. Get on first.

Hurry, I'll drive.

Hurry up!

Go!

Come on!

You got the tomatoes on sticks. Happy now?

Yes.

That's great.

Dad, the sugar falls on my hand.

Really?

Come here, let me help you.

Let me see�

OK.

Let's go.

Only a few words.

I'll leave after that.

The three lands you got

are really important to me.

And if they are in your hands,

it's not good

for both of you

and the Rong Mansion.

Are you threatening me?

You can think so.

If you are willing to sell them to me,

I could pay you double the price.

I'm not.

You should know,

in order to get these lands,

we will do whatever it takes,

regardless of the consequences.

Not only our COC,

also the Japanese military.

You can't stop that.

If I don't give you,

what would you do?

You want to know what

I would do?

Yes.

But the more I want to know is how black your heart is now.

I will give you three days

to think about it.

You'd better persuade him.

Lord.

Dad, let's go.

Lord!

- Chengrui! - Lord!

Chengrui!

- Lord! - Chengrui!

Lord!

What's wrong?

Chengrui!

Chengrui!

Chengrui!

- Chengrui! Hang in there! - Lord.

- Chengrui! - Lord!

Chengrui!

Chengrui!

My Lord!

My Lord!

My Lord!

Lord!

Ms. Oda,

we meet again.

You have

been trying to kill them for a long time.

And now they have unknowingly become the

obstacles for you and General Miyazawa.

We used to be master and servant,

and we haven't seen each other for a while.

Just treat them as the gift to you.

Now I'm an officer in General Miyazawa's troop.

We will often meet later.

See you.

Strengthen the protection to the professors.

If the machines broke down, go order a new batch of them.

We lost a lot on the mine.

There were many workers and machines.

We also have been there.

As for the professors, I'm afraid that we can't care about both of them.

How about...

You don't worry about this.

I'll figure it out by myself.

Tingbai! Junshan!

Bad news from Rong Mansion!

Gu Yanzhen, from the Gu Family, is here to worship.

The old Lord

was always kind

to everyone

in Shunyuan city.

I never heard that he ever offended anyone.

If he

hadn't been framed this time,

he wouldn't have ended like this.

Forget it.

Forget?

We all are the old servants in the Mansion.

If it hadn't been the Lord and her ladyship,

each of us would have been homeless with a miserable life.

Now the Lord's family was framed.

Are we who have received

his favor not brave enough to stand out and speak for them?

The Qing Dynasty has fallen,

and why didn't you, slaves of Qing Dynasty, all die?

I'm not a slave of Qing Dynasty!

I'm one of Lord's servants!

Without the Lord,

there would be no me today!

Today!

Today in front of Lord and Lord Chengrui!

I, Pei Shun!

This is not done yet!

Mr. Shen,

tell me,

what did the old Lord and Lord Chengrui die of?

Captain He of the police station is here.

You shouldn't ask me

about this question.

I want you to tell me.

Lord Chengrui and the old Lord

died of the gunshots.

Gunshots?

Gunshots?

I'm asking you what did they die for?

Who killed them?

The Chairman of Japanese COC,

Ms. Oda Xianrong is here.

Stop there!

Xianrong.

You can't leave like this!

I want to know,

whether the old Lord and her ladyship,

and Lord Chengrui

were killed by you?

What if

it's me?

What if

it's not me?

If you did this,

I'll risk my life

to get the revenge on you!

Then have a try.

You!
