No wonder Rugui House’s Manager Xu

looks so odd.

He knows how to disguise his look

(Map of Chang’an)

(East Market)

and also has a secret residence.

(Ruyi Pawnshop)

His Highness led us on
an all-night pursuit,

but we were always one step behind him.

We just can’t catch him.

Moreover, he seems to be
investigating His Highness.

(Princess Xiping)

(Jing Yi)
That manager Xu.

(Xiao Jinyu)

Who on earth is he?

(Xiao Jinyu)

=The Imperial Coroner=

=Episode 7=

(Princess Xiping’s Mansion)

(Princess Xiping’s Mansion)
Your father’s conferment decree was ordered.

Leng Family, from the Southwest,
supports me.

But if I insisted to seek justice
from the Imperial Court,

considering the situation,

I would’ve already brought calamities
on you and your brother

before the justice could be upheld.

Mother,

it seems that

father might still be alive.

This isn’t as simple as you think it is.

In all these years,

there wasn’t any news about your father,

whether it’s from Chang’an
or the Southwest.

Suddenly, when you were
selecting coroners,

a coroner who has the pendant

came out of nowhere.

And you happened to find the pendant.

In a few days,

someone left you

these investigation records
about your father.

This whole thing is too suspicious.

Beware of traps.

The one who left these investigation
records behind

is the suspect of several murder cases.

His whereabouts are now unclear.

In order to catch this suspect,

we also need to investigate
my father’s case.

Even if I don’t handle it,

the other ministers from
Three Judicial Offices will take over.

Mother, don’t worry.

Just like you’ve said,

the current situation is different,

as long as I can find
father’s whereabouts,

father can return to the capital safely.

Trust me.

No matter what kind of circumstance
father is in,

I’ll return home safely

with him.

I knew it.

Once you know what happened
to your father,

I just can’t stop you.

Mother,

who do you think are the people

that care so much about
father’s whereabouts?

Is it because the remaining rebels
want revenge?

Or... ?

What remaining rebels?

How can there be remaining rebels
in the realm of His Majesty?

Don’t cook up nonsense without evidence!

Aren’t you afraid that
those with evil intentions

might hear you

and make a fuss about it.

They’d criticize you for
fabricating rumors,

scaremongering, and
threatening His Majesty’s rule.

Yes.

Mother, you’re right.

I don’t know who they are.

But there’s one thing

you must remember.

Whatever you do,

beware of the eunuchs.

Don’t let your guard down.

Yes, I’ve taken note of that.

Mother, don’t worry.

Mother, I have one more question.

Does father have

any recognizable feature on him?

For example,

a birth mark, or a scar.

Why do you ask this?

I’ve only seen father’s portrait
drawn when he was young.

After all these years,

his look must have changed.

If I find father,

it’s hard to verify his identity
based on his look.

He does have a scar.

Master, look at this.

This is tribute to you from

the eunuch who made a mistake
at Jiangshan Hall.

Tribute to me?

Yes.

Where’s his tribute to you then?

Master, please be observant.

How dare I?

Listen up!

The walls of this palace is high,

but they’re not airtight.

Before doing whatever you want,

think about your butt first.

Go.

Don’t forget the pain
once the scar is healed.

Don’t cause me any trouble

when you’re caught in excitement.

If so, I’ll have no mercy on you.

Master, don’t be mad.

Xu Rugui said that he’s
taken care of everything.

Has he?

How about the family of the killer?

He’s also taken care of them.

Xiao Jinyu’s reaction is vital in

deciding the status
of Xiao Heng’s matter.

Keep an eye on him.

Go.

And make me another
hot Huzhou Zisun tea.

Yes.

One sugar-roasted chestnuts.

Yes, sir.

Here you go.

(Ruyi Pawnshop)

Sir, you’re so early.

We haven’t...

I’m in a hurry.

Please do me a favor.

Okay. Okay.

This way, please.

Sir, please be kind.

Spare me some food.

Sir, please.

Give me some food.

Thank you.

There’s a fight.

Don’t move.

Go.

Freeze.

What’s going on?

(A steamed bun)

You haven’t had breakfast, right?

Here. Let me give you a bun

in case you take poison
and commit suicide.

Come. Don’t fight back.

Behave.

Go.

-Go.
-Go.

Let’s go.

Madam.

Why did you come home alone?

Where’s our son?

Something went wrong last night?

No.

Madam, don’t worry.

Everything has been
reported to be all right.

We just can’t stop worrying.

Yes.

But there’s one more thing

that need your attention.

Leng Yue will return to Chang’an today.

It’s so obvious that

Jing Yi has feelings for Leng Yue.

You must keep an eye on him.

Jing Yi likes to follow Leng Yue
everywhere since he was a kid.

Even Her Grace said that she’s willing

to let Leng Yue marry Jing Yi.

But you insisted that I fix Leng Yue
and Commandery Prince An up.

Why?

Madam, just don’t ask.

Well.

Commandery Prince An always
refuses to get married.

Does he also have a crush on Leng Yue?

How can I know?

I just know that

I have a crush on you, madam.

So cheesy.

(Poetry of Autumn Breeze
Painting of Summer Lotus in Rain...)

Look.

This.

In the last month,

you’ve bought so many
good stuff at Antique Store.

Is any of those for me?

Madam, don’t be angry.

Miss Chu.

Lord Jing.

I’ve got a question for you.

Has His Highness told you

the result of coroner selection test?

Not yet.

You already knew?

Did I pass?

Listen.

Even if you aren’t selected

when the result comes out,

as long as His Highness doesn’t
tell you to leave himself,

the test isn’t over yet.

You still get a chance to be selected.

The test isn’t over yet.

Every moment you spend here,
every word and every action of yours

are part of the test.

You must do you best to win his favor.

But you mustn’t do it too painstakingly.

What does it mean?

Actually, you already did so well.

But you’re directing your work
toward the right place.

You have to hit the right spot.

But you can’t do it so obviously

like giving a gift.

He’s hard to please.

But he can’t resist
the temptations of a mystery.

You have to give him leads

and let him explore on his own.

Once he finds the things
he likes on you,

he’ll definitely keep you by his side.

The things he likes?

Your Highness, this is
how far I can help you.

I’ve apologized to Academician Xue

for you.

He took accountability for you.

That’s your fault.

Though you’re an important minister
in the Imperial Court now,

you’re still inexperienced.

From now on, you should listen to

Academician Xue’s opinions more often.

Yes.

I got it.

Yesterday, Madam Jing came to me

and told me that Leng Yue will return.

Do you know that?

Greetings, Your Grace.

Rise.

Yes.

Your Highness,
Vice Minister Jing’s men just reported.

He’s handled the things as you ordered.

He’ll report to Three Judicial Offices
after freshening up.

Okay.

I’m too busy with work.

Mother, I’ll visit you another day.

Go ahead.

(Three Judicial Offices)

-Your Highness.
-Your Highness.

Take this beggar to eat something first.

Interrogate him later.

Did you hear it?

You’re lucky that you’re
in the hands of His Highness.

Come with me.

Yes.

Rise.

You?

What do you kidnap me for?

He’s the one who robbed me.

His Highness has many rules.

No one is allowed to eat

in any of those rooms.

You have to make do with this spot.

Thanks.

What? You need chopsticks?

No. No.

Beggars like us are satisfied
as long as we have food.

We’re not that fussy.

Look at the way you’re dressed,

you seem to be a scholar.

Yes.

These were left by my ancestors.

I just retrieved them from the pawnshop.

I met that beggar the moment
I stepped out of the door.

I gave him food out of kindness.

But he tried to rob me.

Recite the chapter, Moral Cultivation

from The Great Learning.

Er...

Well.

You’ve been learning for years,

you can’t even recite The Four Books?

I... I’ve quit learning for a while.

How do you make a living then?

I’m an accountant now.

For which shop?

For a foreign caravan.

A foreign caravan.

They left Chang’an a while ago.

They sell fur pelts?

Yes.

What are the market prices
of goat fur, dear fur, and fox fur?

Which is the most popular kind
in Chang’an?

Well.

I’m not in the mood for chitchat.

And you’re not smart enough to fool me.

You killed Liu Yue,
Director of the Ministry of Revenue,

Lu Chuansheng, Capital Liaison
Representative of Qianzhou,

and Feng Jie, Minister of War.

The case has been solved.

What are you talking about?

I can’t understand any of it.

Then, let me tell you something
you can understand.

Now, Xu Rugui wants to
silence you forever.

Will he spare your wife and kid?

You... How... ?

How do I know?

Your wife and kid are now
held hostage by Xu Rugui.

On your wrist, there are two strands
of colored braids.

Women and kids wear those
during the Dragon Boat Festival

to ward off evil spirits and disasters.

Judging from their color,

they might be from two years ago.

You went to withdraw gold
from the pawnshop

because you were prepared to flee.

But you still carried those with you.

It shows that they’re as important

as your life to you.

Even if you die,

you’d die with them.

Where do you beg?

In the streets.

Anywhere I go.

I made a bad choice today.

I wished to rob a fortune so
I can live an abundant life.

I’ll never do it again.

Don’t rush. Just eat.

Haven’t you heard His Highness?

Let’s talk after you’re full.

I’m just curious.

What do you often eat?

We live off the scraps of every tavern.

We eat everything we can find.

So, you’ve had food

from every tavern in the city, right?

Which is the best?

Guangtai House, of course.

Then, how about Rugui House?

Last night, Xu Rugui fled in a hurry.

He may haven’t had the chance to

kill your wife and kid.

Now, it’s up to you
to decide their fate.

You can keep on wasting time with me.

Or you can tell everything honestly.

It’s your decision.

You can really find them?

It depends on whether
you tell the truth or not.

I’ll tell you everything.

Vice Minister Jing.

General Wu.

Vice Minister Jing,
thanks for the hard work.

You too.

He knows where the killer’s
wife and kid are.

His Highness is so miraculous.

He’s done with the interrogation
before we can finish the meal.

Hurry up.

I’m waiting for you to
have a drink tonight.

Enjoy your meal.

Your next meal will be your last one
before execution.

What do you mean?

I was just being too hotheaded.

The robbery was unsuccessful either.

Master, please spare my life.

I’ll never do it again.

What robbery?

You’re so tricky.

Don’t try to cover up the true crime.

Listen.

You’ll be executed because
you committed murder.

The other man has confessed everything.

You plotted against his wealth and life.

You want to kill him and his family.

You just saw it, didn’t you?

He has confessed everything
under His Highness’s interrogation.

Fine. Take him back.

Yes.

Master, please be observant.

I didn’t kill his family.

He’s the killer.

Trust me.

Don’t listen to his nonsense.

Whether he’s the murderer or not

has nothing to do with
your killing his family.

I’m only responsible for your case.

Tonight, I’ll stay up late

and archive your case

so they can execute you
tomorrow at noon.

Master.

Vice Minister Jing.
Please be observant.

I really didn’t kill his family.

His wife and kid are still alive.

Let him go.

Yes.

It’s real?

Yes, it’s true.

Two years ago, on the day
of the Dragon Boat Festival,

Xu Rugui suddenly kidnapped
my wife and son,

and he came to me

with these two braids my wife made.

He said he found me a job
where I could earn a fortune.

If I refuse,

I can never see them again.

Besides Liu Yue, Lu Chuansheng,

and Feng Jie,

who else have you killed?

I kill one or two people
from time to time.

I didn’t dare to inquire about

the victims’ identities.

Did Xu Rugui ever tell you

the reason for killing them?

He never told me.

He never allowed me to ask either.

Have you seen Xu Rugui interact with

people from Shence Army?

Sometimes, I saw Shence Army members

drink at Rugui House.

I know nothing beyond that.

The Dancing Service’s dancer,

Lady Liu.

Is she with on this side?

No, I’ve never heard of her.

I just follow Xu Rugui’s orders.

I really don’t know the rest.

Oh.

As for the most recent murder case,

it should be carried out by me

and another guy together.

It’s more secretive if
it’s conducted by both of us.

But that guy was missing

half a month ago.

So I committed the recent three murders

all on my own.

Can you describe this person’s look?

Yes.

Tell me.

Yes.

Miss Chu, what are you doing?

I’m making a mirror.

Make a mirror with this?

There are many bronze mirrors
in the mansion.

I can get you the ones you want.

No. No need.

Three Judicial Offices definitely
doesn’t have a mirror like this.

Miss Leng, you’re back?

(Leng Yue)
You’re the coroner who probed His Highness’s body

(Leng Yue)
and even tried to take off his clothes?

Who are you?

Miss Chu, this is...

Don’t mind who I am.

Answer me first. Is that you?

Yes, it’s me.

But I did it because of the test...

So, it’s real.

I thought Wu Jiang and Jing Yi

made that up to fool me.

You look quite handsome.

But aren’t you a coroner?

Why are you here polishing a spoon?

I’m not polishing a spoon.

Who on earth are you?

Guess.

You’re so pretty.

You can’t be an average person.

I haven’t washed my face or
changed my clothes in three days.

How can you say I’m pretty?

I’ve never seen a woman
as beautiful as you.

Can you elaborate?

You features are in neat positions.

You have clear shapes,

perfectly shaped jawlines,

and sleek neck bones.

You have broad shoulders, slim waist,

powerfully-built thighs
and fit lower legs.

You have the strength

that’s rarely seen on other women.

If I were a man,

I would wish to marry you.

Your Highness.

You’re forgetting your manners.

No, I’m not.

Your coroner just said that

she would marry me.

I...

Don’t even try to take it back.

I have an eye-witness.

Fine.

Lian Qiao, take her to freshen up

and wait for me at Ten-Commandment Hall.

Yes.

I’m waiting for you to marry me.

Your Highness, who is she?

She’s the granddaughter of Leng Peishan,
the Military Commissioner of Qianzhou.

Her name is Leng Yue.

She’s always like this.

She doesn’t really mean what she says.

I’m sorry

if she offended you.

Why are you polishing a spoon here?

No, I’m not.

I just...

Are you here for me?

Can you write autopsy sheets?

Yes, my grandfather taught me.

Although writing autopsy sheets
are the job of clerks,

coroners have to know it too.

Otherwise, if clerks write nonsense

and put coroners’ names on it,

coroners will be the ones blamed.

Do you still remember

the findings of the autopsies

on Feng Jie, Liu Yue,
and Lu Chuansheng?

Yes.

As long as I’m the one
who inspected the bodies,

I won’t forget.

Okay.

I’ll send someone to give you
the autopsy sheets later.

Fill those sheets

and hand them in to me.

Oh.

Don’t fill in the blanks for

the names of the recorder
and the coroner.

I get it.

Don’t worry. Don’t rush.

I can fill in my name

when I become the official coroner.

I’ll definitely become
the official coroner.

Senior Jing.

As for His Majesty’s conferment decree
for Minister Feng,

I’ve come up with a few
posthumous names.

Are these appropriate?

Last night, the mourning hall of
Feng’s Mansion caught fire.

I heard you were at the scene.

Yes.

I was afraid that things might go wrong.

So, I took a look.

I happened to meet
Commandery Prince An.

He was there to apologize
at the behest of His Majesty.

He had some misunderstanding
with Feng’s Family.

I was worried someone might
take advantage of that situation.

So I stayed and handled it.

There was another incident last night.

I don’t know if you’ve heard of it.

Are you referring to
the close-down of Rugui House?

Yes.

I only heard the rumors.

His Majesty summoned royal members
and beloved ministers

to palace for the tea gathering today.

Bring up Feng Jie’s conferment decree
at a later date.

Don’t spoil His Majesty’s good mood.

(Memorial)

Yes.

Stand up.

Chief.

It seems that your skills

are improved a lot during the last year.

You’ve made so many delicate gadgets.

This is the Three Judicial Offices.

Address me properly.

Don’t be a bad influence for my men.

I’ve been calling you that
since I was little.

It’s hard to change.

Moreover,

there’s nobody else here anyway.

Alright.

Your Highness.

Where’s Jing Yi?

Why isn’t he here?

Without him being a reference object,

you can’t really see how sweet I am.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Honey!

Good to see you’re OK.

Yes, I’m fine.

Why did you come back suddenly?

You are fed up with the colorful world?

Not really.

Chang’an is also
part of the colorful world.

And there are always new stuff to see

out there. How can I be fed up?

But the news about you
was more interesting.

Wu Jiang told me in the letter that

you were almost striped by a girl.

Of course I had to come back.

I asked him to ask you about
the Handsome Judge in the letter.

And he told you those irrelevant stuff.

You can’t blame him for that.

If he hadn’t told me,

I wouldn’t have known if what I got

were the things you wanted to know.

What information did you get then?

I’ve asked all my friends,

but nobody has heard of

somebody called Handsome Judge.

So I asked them to investigate
something else.

What?

Recently,

I’ve been thinking about
the girl’s background.

Although locals say that

she was a sideslip of his father.

But according to my friends in Qianzhou,

her father, Chu Ping,

is definitely not
such an indecent person.

Are you sure?

Chu family members are all honest.

And people tend to
avoid contact with coroners.

So normally,

they don’t deal with other people much

other than doing their works.

Earlier,

when that girl left her home

for Chang’an for the
Coroner Qualification Test,

her family asked a trade caravan
to take care of her.

And Chu He, her big brother,

escorted her all the way out of Qianzhou

before he headed back home.

If you ask me,

judging by the way they treated her,

it didn’t look like she was a sideslip.

That doesn’t make sense then.

If she’s the daughter
of Chu Ping and his wife,

and they treasure her that much,

why didn’t they come out

and make clarifications for her,

rather than letting the rumors spread?

Maybe they are just magnanimous

and don’t care about it at all.

During your year out there,

have you ever been to Qianzhou?

You know clearly that

Qianzhou is the last place I would go.

Your Highness, Miss Chu is here.

And she has something for you.

Let her wait for a minute.

Yes.

Who did you tell about
coming back to Chang’an?

I only told you in the letter.

(Breathing Clear Air Makes You Calm)

Please.

Please wait here for a minute.

What is this?

I told you not to touch anything.

That’s paint.

Use this.

Go wash your hand with some alcohol.

You’ve finished the autopsy sheet?

I… I…

I didn’t mean it.

I’ll go fill another one.

Come back.

It’s OK. Give it to me.

It’s fine as long as I can read it.

(Autopsy Sheet)

OK.

Come with me.

This is your remuneration
for examining those three bodies.

Remuneration? No, no, no.

This is too much.

I didn’t get this much the last time

when I examined Mr. Yan Ming’s body.

To examine Feng Jie’s body,

you almost lost your life to the fire.

That was hard for you.

And you provided many clues
for arresting Xu Rugui.

You earned this.

Those were all my duties.

This is also my duty.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

can I ask you a question?

Ask away.

Do you like beautiful girls?

Of course.

So this must be what Lord Jing meant

when he said “cater to his pleasure”.

The so-called beautiful girls

are those who make you feel pleased.

Otherwise,

they would not be deemed beautiful.

Of course I like girls

that make me feel pleased.

Your question is pretty weird.

What do you want to ask really?

I…

Nothing.

I also want to know

if the results of the qualification test

and the selecting test

are out.

Now that you paid me,

does that mean I’m already selected?

I paid you because you did your work.

It has nothing to do with the tests.

Nobody’s selected yet
through the selecting test.

What about the qualification test?

Your place of domicile is in Qianzhou.

Chang’an can’t verify your background

in a short while.

According to the rules,

whatever your result may be,

you can’t get a qualification right now.

How come?

Your Highness.

Come in.

Your Highness.

Jing Yi drafted this wanted notice

according to the portrait you drew.

He’s in a hurry to go to the palace,

so he asked me to send it to you.

Isn’t this the man
who was struck by lightning

and then burned to death?

He’s already dead.

How can he still be wanted?

The corpse is totally burned,

how can you recognize his face?

Even if his face was burnt,

the bones are still intact.

What a person’s face looks like

(Brow ridge Skull)
has a lot to do with the brow ridges.

His eyebrows are different from yours,

(Different eyebrow shapes)
General Wu’s,

(Different eyebrow shapes)
and mine.

It’s because the shapes
of our brow ridges are different.

The brow ridge is an arch-shaped
bony ridge above the eye socket.

This is that person.

I’m sure of it.

That explains all.

He was badly burned,

but I could feel that

he had fractures

in his ribs, arms and shanks.

No matter what a bad temper he had,

he wouldn’t fight people desperately

almost every day,

unless that was his job!

You were right.

This man had a life-risking job.

He’s a killer.

A killer?

Wu Jiang.

Your Highness.

Replace this wanted notice
with a missing person notice

and send it to Jingzhao Yamen.

Let them post it

and see if he had any family.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness, what’s going on here?

Half a month ago,

he disguised himself as a drunk

and slipped me a note

while I was out on an errand,

He said he’d reveal to me
a murder of a court official

that had not happened yet.

In exchange,

he wanted me to guarantee his safety.

In that note,

he asked me
to meet him at a sesame oil shop

in the West Market.

On that day,
I waited until the market closed,

but he never showed up.

Sesame oil?

I remember,

before he died,

he was carrying some sesame oil, right?

Yes, maybe he was there that day.

But before I arrived,

he was found by the people who hired.

So he ran into
the woods outside the city,

trying to hide.

But he was struck by lightning

and his lantern
accidentally ignited the sesame oil.

Just like what you’ve figured out.

Chu Chu,

what else can we find out

from a badly burned corpse?

It’s hard to say.

Before the death of each victim,

what they were thinking and doing

are different,

so each corpse is also different.

I can only tell when I see the corpse.

Your Highness?

I have something.

I’d like you to take a look at it.

What is it?

This is...

Do you recognize this man?

On his left arm,

is there a burn like this?

I...

This is the person who
gave you the pendant, isn’t it?

Yes...

No, no, I...

Tell me!

Where is he now?

I don’t know who you’re talking about.

Your Highness.

What is it?

Someone is here from the palace.

The palace?

Why did I tell him that?

I’m so stupid. So stupid!

How did he know?

How does he know everything?

Is he the Handsome Judge or not?

What if he’s not?

Greetings, Commandery Prince An.

Eunuch Qin, as you were. What is it?

I’m here to deliver
a message from His Majesty

that you’re invited
to the banquet today.

Please report to His Majesty

that I’m quite engaged
in Three Judicial Offices,

and I’m afraid I couldn’t attend today.

Commandery Prince An,

His Majesty
has specifically instructed that

I have to take you to the palace

even if I have to force you.

But of course,

if you don’t want to go,

I wouldn’t dare to offend you.

It’ll be my honor

if I’m punished because of this.

But if you don’t go today,

His Majesty is worried
that someone will eat you.

I don’t know

what that means.

If anyone is confident
that they can take it,

just come and eat.

By the way,

Princess Xiping and Academician Xue

are summoned to the palace, too.

Commandery Prince An,

if His Majesty hears this reply from you

and gets furious,

I’m afraid
it’s not going to be easy for you.

Thank you for reminding me.

Please, Eunuch Qin.

I’ll take my leave now.
