Da Yang.

You know me so well.

Eat it.

Aren't you late?

Why haven't you had time to eat yet?

My mother

dragged me to a blind date.

Blind... blind date?

Don't laugh!

I... I'm not laughing.

Whose child is so unlucky...

I mean, is so lucky.

The third child of Yi family.

The third child of Yi family?

Stop laughing.

The third child of Yi family.

It's...

This is a good thing.

That family is a good and well-educated family.

You'll save a lot of money

when you live with them.

Just get married.

So you don't have to fight for reward with our brothers later.

I don't have any money,

but I can live on easy street.

The sons of Yi family

are all nerds.

If I live with them,

I think I will be bored to death.

If you don't want to get married,

tell your mother.

Da Yang.

Or

I can play a victim and tell my mother

that I am already yours?

Sir Jin Xia.

I'm not deserved.

Moreover,

you can't do that to yourself.

Really.

Da Yang, you can't say that.

Although normally you address me as "sir",

after all,

I'm more like your little sister, right?

If your sister is in trouble,

you, as her brother, must help.

You've got a point there.

But,

I know you so well.

When something happens, you're my sister,

when nothing happens,

you're my "sir" again.

How about this.

You ask me to be your helper,

pretend to be your lover in front of your mother,

I won't take much,

10 pence a day is fine.

How is that?

10 pence a day?

You're pretty good at math.

Wishful thinking .

Even if you beg me,

I won't say yes.

Who can bear the sound

of your snoring?

10 pence is too much?

10 pence, you can't even suffer losses,

or buy a cheater,

you can buy nothing!

That's...

Yang Yue of Department Six.

Yuan Jin Xia of Department Six.

Greeting, sir Lu.

Greeting, sir.

Where is Yang Cheng Wan?

My father is having trouble with legs

and resting in the boat.

Please follow me, sir.

Yuan Jin Xia.

You're a constable of Department Six.

Why did you have to hold his cup of tea?

And you did it so smoothly.

Sir.

Remind Huang Yu.

Before he becomes governor of Ji Liao,

send me "Along the River During the Qingming Festival",

the picture that he promised me.

I'm getting tired of waiting.

Yes sir.

I'm going to send someone to urge him now.

Tell him.

About government official,

I have a way to make him promote,

and I also have a way to...

Yes.

You think so highly of him.

I will surely put your words

into his ear.

Let him get the picture to you

in the shortest possible time.

Drink.

Thank you.

Father.

Sir Lu.

I'm a bit inconvenient now.

Please forgive for my bad manners.

Senior, you're way too polite.

Sir Lu, please.

Sir Lu.

Sit down, please.

You two go outside.

Senior.

Sir Lu.

Please wait a moment.

Father.

Master.

Before dark,

I want you to know all

about this ship

and the people on it.

Master.

Father.

I'll check at any time.

Go.

Da Yang, Da Yang, Da Yang.

Sir Lu.

They're stubborn and obstreperous,

my apology.

Senior, sit down, please.

Thank you.

What? You're still listening?

My father once mentioned that

in Embroidered Uniform Guard,

no one could match your tracking skills.

That was fabulous .

It's good to see

your next generation.

Your father is in good health?

It's the same as before .

His heart aches when he is tired.

I tried to persuade him many times,

but he never listened.

He is a man of character,

how can he easily acquiesce to old age.

Indeed.

When my father has free time,

he always thinks of many things that happened before.

He also always hopes that

you can go back and help him.

I have never forgotten

commander's kindness.

But I'm afraid

I'll never be able to repay him.

I am now

both old and disabled,

has long lost the ability of that year,

I can only hang around in judgment hall.

I have no other thoughts.

Senior.

This matter is not urgent.

You don't have to make a decision so quickly.

This trip to Yangzhou,

we still have to rely on your advice.

You're too polite, registrar Lu.

I don't deserve such praise or honor.

Right.

Father asked me to give you a message.

Dead is dead.

Senior.

I won't disturb your rest.

I'm leaving.

Take your time, sir Lu.

Let's go.

Father asked me to give you a message.

Dead is dead.

Master used to work in Embroidered Uniform Guard?

And worked under the leadership of commander Lu?

You don't even know that, do you?

I don't know why

I never heard my father mention it.

From what that Lu said,

commander Lu wanted master to go back to Embroidered Uniform Guard?

He seems to count on master.

So why did he leave?

Let's look for an opportunity to ask him.

He is always cautious.

Do you think he'll say something?

Probably not.

So, Department Six's people

like to eavesdrop on others?

Sir Lu.

He said you were stubborn and obstreperous,

and it seems true.

Do you think he'll tell my father

about us eavesdropping on

their conversation?

He may be a pain in the neck,

but he's not a backbiter.

Do you think Lu knows

why master left?

I think he does.

Go.

Let's pay King of Hell Lu a visit.

Knowing that there are tigers,

but still go to the tiger mountain?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

If you're afraid of him, I'll go by myself.

I... you...

Something is going to happen.

Sir.

Sir Lu!

Sir Lu.

Turned away without saying a word.

Sir.

Are you all right?

I didn't hurt you, did I?

Besides of stubborn and obstreperous,

I wonder if head constable in chief Yang knows

you're also a stalker,

a troublemaker?

What do you mean?

Sir, sir, sir.

Although it's not very nice

to have overheard

your conversation earlier,

I just heard that

commander Lu

valued my master's talent

and wanted him to go back to Embroidered Uniform Guard,

but master refused.

I also think

it's a bit of wasted for master to stay in Department Six.

So Pity.

If Embroidered Uniform Guard really need master,

I'd be happy to persuade him.

You want to take credit?

No way.

I don't want to see

my master's talent be buried.

If so,

just try to persuade him.

Why do you find me?

This...

Of course I have to find you.

You have to tell me

the reason why my master left Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Then I can figure a way to convince my master.

About this,

you can ask your master directly.

No can do.

Sir, there's something you don't know.

With my master's personality,

he not only did not tell me,

perhaps

will send me off the boat to swim to Yangzhou.

Poor me.

So?

Does it have anything to do with me?

It does.

It does, sir Lu.

I'll tell you this honestly.

In addition to my intention to help you,

I also have a problem.

Once my curiosity is stimulated,

if I don't understand what's going on,

I can't stand it.

Well,

at least I'm your little assistant.

If I didn't feel well after that,

and that affected your investigation,

it wouldn't be very nice.

Right, sir?

Be careful.

Curiosity can kill a wild cat like you.

Sir, if you don't tell me,

I will have no way to help you.

Sir, it doesn't matter if you don't want to talk right now.

I'll wait until you're in

a good mood.

If you have any orders, just say them.

I'll be right here.

Just make a sound when you need me.

Be careful.

Curiosity can kill a wild cat like you.

I am not a wild cat.

I am sir Xia.

Master.

Sir Liao, Liao Wen Hua, has arrived.

Adoptive father.

I know you like jade.

I'm getting you a special jade today.

Adoptive father.

Please take a look.

See if it's vivid.

A gift out of sudden.

Is there any problems?

Adoptive father.

Please don't say that.

Well.

I do have a small problem.

You know, I was born in southeast.

I have been worried that the people in my hometown have been suffering from the scourge for a long time.

I always want to do something for the people in my hometown.

I heard that Huang Yu will become governor of Ji Liao.

His position as censor of southeast

will become vacant soon?

I wonder if you have someone to choose.

I'm thinking about it.

Adoptive father.

Then my little wish to return to my hometown

totally depends on your support.

Thank you, adoptive father.

I'm starving.

Wait!

Fella.

I'm starving.

I didn't have time to prepare food.

Can you give me this first?

You can prepare another one.

Thank you, thank you.

Sir.

I've got some snacks and tea

for you.

Would you like some food and drink?

If you need it,

I'll bring it to you .

Are you sure you're not hungry?

This cake smells good.

Sir.

Do you need some tea?

This tea smells good.

You want some? Please have some tea.

Sir.

Sir...

What was that all about?

He took my tea,

I don't know if he will tell me.

What else could be done to please him?

Did you just take your lunch break?

Should I give you a basin of water to wipe your face?

It's okay if you don't want to wipe your face.

Let me get you some water to warm up your feet.

There is a lot of humidity in this cabin.

Warming up your feet is good for your health.

How about some watermelon seeds?

I will get some for you.

What exactly do you want?

Say something, sir.

What are your orders?

There is a cockroach inside,

catch it for me.

Yes sir.

Sir, please take a walk.

I'll inform you after catching that cockroach.

Cockroach?

Kneel.

Master.

Do you know your fault?

I don't know what I've done.

Offense leaders, disrespect teachers.

You're just a small constable of Department Six,

yet dared to ask registrar Lu about your master's past?

That's too much!

Master, I am sorry.

This is my fault.

But Lu Yi...

Presumptuous!

You can call registrar Lu

by his real name any time you want?

It seems that I usually pamper you too much.

And let you know nothing about position and respect.

Tonight,

just kneel down here and reflect yourself.

Father.

It's not good to keep Jin Xia

kneeling here.

Only in this way

can she know what she has done wrong.

So as not to incur more mistakes in the future.

Father.

But it was cold and damp on this ship,

if she was punished to kneel here all night,

she would certainly get cold and sick.

Father.

I was wrong not to watch Jin Xia carefully.

If you want to punish,

punish me as well.

Then write a letter of repentance.

Give it to me tomorrow morning.

Master.

Thank you father.

- Stop talking! | - Write a letter of repentance.

- Alright. | - Lu Yi.

Come on, get up.

It's hurt, right?

So numb.

Careful, careful.

Sore, numb.

Lu Yi is so mean.

Sooner or later,

I'll put him under my feet.

Keep it down.

Be content.

Embroidered Uniform Guard

are known for their ruthless ways,

just talk about your disrespectful,

anyone else would have been killed.

From what I see,

sir Lu's reasonable.

Da Yang!

Which side are you on?

Your side.

If I hadn't just interceded for you,

you'd still be on your knees.

I'd rather on my knees

than write a letter of repentance.

I knew it.

Writing

is your greatest punishment.

I can fight or quarrel very well.

But if you ask me to write

those letters,

I...

How about you kill me with a knife?

Okay.

I figured it out for you.

Wait here.

You knew I was going to be punished?

Okay, I read.

You write.

Just writing, right? No big deal.

This is

just an accident.

Sir.

Loser.

Only know how to find excuses.

Give her money.

Accident.

No, no, no.

Accident.

What are you writing?

What's wrong?

This is just a accident.

Write it again.

This is

just a accident.

There is a cockroach inside.

Cockroach?

Where is it?

Not here.

It's not right.

It's spotless here.

There isn't even a drop of tea.

No food residue was visible.

The cockroaches would have to make a detour if they see this place.

He played me.

No, no, you wrote it wrong again.

What are you writing?

Tell me.

He made me a slave today.

Fine.

- Hold down that noise! | He didn't tell me

the reason why master left Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Fine.

He's still bad-mouthing me in front of master.

Made me look bad.

And I have to write these rubbish!

He is the worst of the worst.

If I don't revenge,

I am not Yuan Jin Xia!

Please keep it down.

Cen Fu.

Sir.

Get them out of here.

Played me?

Just wait and see.

It was my fault.

Wait.

Wipe this table for me ten times.

Yes sir.

Yuan Jin Xia.

Damn it.

Who is there?

You two, chase!

Yes!

This... Hurry! Inform him!

Yes!

You, go there to find.

Yes.

You, go there to find.

- Yes. | - I don't believe I can't find him.

Weird, where is he?

What are you doing?

Search!

Wait a second.

What are you doing after all?

Birthday gifts of general have disappeared.

There's a few outsiders in this ship, like you.

I suspect you had something to do with the theft.

What proof do you have?

No, for now.

What's the point if you have no proof.

What makes you search my room?

My instinct.

Search!

- Yes sir! | - Wait!

On an official ship,

everyone is a public servant.

Take it easy.

It's not good to hurt our harmony.

I heard that Kingdom Protection Lieutenant is very talented.

And in charge of borders with general Yang Mo.

Killed 5 Mongolians

and wanted to claim credit already?

No wonder they said

"A lousy soldier makes a single lousy man,

a lousy general makes 1000 lousy men."

You dared to mention about Kingdom Protection Lieutenant?

Take them away!

Yes sir!

I'll kill you!

Jin Xia, leave!

Chase!

Yes sir!

Colonel.

This little girl didn't let us search her room.

She not only insulted senior general,

but also dared to fight with us,

wounding two guards.

I suspect they stole

birthday gifts.

Ridiculous.

It's just one-side words of yours.

What if I say you stole them?

Take them away!

Yes sir!

Jin Xia!

Take them all!

Yes sir!

Stop!

Who are you?

How dare you attack government officer?

Government officer?

There were

a lot of government officers' blood in my hands.

You!

Who are you?

Registrar of Embroidered Uniform Guard, Lu Yi.

Son of Lu Ting, commander of Embroidered Uniform Guard?

Son of Lu Ting.

It's not completely useless, right?

At least I can scare you.

Can't I?

Hurry!

Put away those swords.

Registrar Lu.

These two disobeyed the order of searching,

and wounded my guard.

I just wanted to catch the thief.

No other intentions.

The villain brought suit against his victims.

Ask to search my room for no reason.

I'm not as good a rascal as you are.

There were a lot of birthday gifts.

Her boathouse was so small.

Where could she hide them?

That's what we should ask her.

What makes you say I stole

birthday gifts from you?

You two were sneaking around before we left.

Be careful.

Yes sir.

When you saw birthday gifts, your eyes wide opened,

if it's not you, who then?

Ridiculous.

What's in your trunk,

I don't know.

That's just your side of the story.

Who can believe it?

You!

You can't frame us without real evidence.

There is no proof of what you say.

So, that's how

colonel Wang punish people.

It's my men who are not sensible.

I will discipline them in the future.

Could you put it down?

Colonel.

Colonel Wang.

You may not know me well.

Actually, I'm a weirdo.

As long as it is my people,

if I want to beat them, I'll beat, if I want to kill them, I'll kill.

My people?

But if other people dare to lay a finger on her,

I'm afraid I'd have a hard time keeping the line.

It was a misunderstanding.

It was a misunderstanding.

It's my lack of discipline.

My men worked so reckless.

If it disturbs your rest,

forgive me.

When did you lose those birthday gifts?

About 3:30 a.m.

When changing shifts,

those gifts were still there.

Take me to the crime scene.

Yes sir, this way, sir.

Sir, your hand...

Go with me.

Da Yang, tell master about the missing

of birthday gifts.

I'll go with sir Lu.

Okay.

Sir, this way.

Non-life-threatening.

It's just a temporary coma.

What did they eat when they stood here?

The diet of all aboard was the same.

They changed shift after dinner.

And didn't eat anything else.

How many trunks of birthday gifts in total?

8.

60cm length, 53 width, 67cm height.

How do you know?

I saw them when boarding.

Even if I don't see them,

I can infer them with the most basic trace.

You have so much wax on the floor.

It's hard for me to not to know.

What's with the wax?

I was afraid these paintings

would catch the damp of the ship,

so

my delivering orders officer

suggested sealing the joint with wax.

Because those paintings are very expensive,

it'll be not good if they have mold spots.

What a surprise.

You're so thoughtful.

You...

This wax is so slippery.

Colonel Wang.

Please call in all the guards now.

Assemble.

So we can check them all.

This...

Guards.

Yes sir.

Carry them back to the cabin.

Yes sir.

Sir.

Now I can tell you about

my reasoning.

First,

judging from these scratches,

the movement of the trunk must have been very loud.

To make such a big noise

means that the thief have nothing to fear.

How do you know for sure that

these scratches were made by the thief,

not the guards?

Different directions

lead to different scratches.

You can have a look.

Second.

The guards are stable,

and there is no sign of combat inside,

and these feet I just saw.

The footprints were shoeprints of the guards.

No one from outside ever came in.

This means that the thief who stole from us

is familiar with the guards.

Otherwise, they

won't be drugged

without precaution.

In your opinion,

could it be that Wang Fang Xing

wanted to keep the gifts for himself?

The thief shouted to catch the thief?

Sir.

Sir Huang himself sent you

the picture named

"Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

Sir.

Would you please check it?

It is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.

Good.

Sir Huang.

It was well done.

Sir.

Everyone knew you had it,

and everyone wanted to see it.

Right.

Well, the more the merrier.

Invite everyone to enjoy it with me.

Yes sir.

Registrar Lu, all my guards are here.

Let me do it.

All Kingdom Protection Lieutenant's men

are so big.

But it's just the outside look.

Impractical footstep.

Well-build body.

Wait.

Fella, good training.

I'm flattered.

It looks like a storm is coming.

Master.

Are you all right?

I'm all right.

Go and get the sails off!

Follow me, all of you.

Yes sir.

First, help master back to his room.

Hurry, go.

Okay.

Father, slowly.

Master, slow down.

Slow down.

Get the sail down.

Yes sir.

Hurry up!

Get the sail down!

Help me a hand!

Cover the goods.

Hurry up!

Cover it there, over here, too.

Here.

Over here.

Ghost.

Ghost... ghost... ghost ship.

Ghost ship, ghost ship.

The ghost ship is coming.

Ghost ship! Let's go!

Ghost ship.

The ghost ship is coming.

Run! Hurry! Run!

Run! Run for your life!

The ghost ship is coming. The ghost ship is coming.

Sir.

Ghost ship, the ghost ship is coming.

What is "ghost ship"?

Legend has it that 700 years ago,

this area of water was Bianzhou, fiefdom of the Later Liang Dynasty.

That year, Zhu You Gui

was assassinated on the ship by one of his men, Feng Ting.

Zhu You Gui's eternal resentment

lingers in this water area,

which will appear every few years.

Every ship encounters him will be cursed.

I heard that

the last time ghost ship appeared,

blood soaked through this water area.

Sir.

Let's turn around and go back.

Or else we can't get away from it.

Sir.

Sir!

Sir, rumor has it ghost ship will devour the living.

And that person will become ghost's servant forever.

Be careful, sir!

Sir!

Cen Fu.

Sir.

Drop the anchor first.

Hold the ship in place.

Yes sir.

It didn't work.

Hurry.

Bring me the rope from the ground.

Go and help!

Hurry!

Drop the anchor, quickly!

Yes sir!

Hurry up! Be careful!

What's wrong?

The rudder suddenly turned by itself.

Several of us working together but can't control it.

Hold on!

This anchor looks like being cursed.

It's trying to get closer to the ghost ship.

Everybody, pull!

Sir, what shall we do now?

I'm going to the ghost ship.

Ghost ship?

I'll go, too.

Sir, what do you want to do?

Do you really want to go?

Sir.

Scared?

I am constable of the court.

I was trained to have a awe-inspiring righteousness.
