Katherine, Sophia, Alina

Oh My General

Ye Zhao, that shrew!

Marry her?

It's better to marry a girl in the brothel!

Who are you talking about?

I'll cut out your tongue today!

What're you doing?

Say it again?

Beat him!

Beat him!

Ye Zhao is my wife!

No one can insult my wife! I rode and fought in the battlefield.

Ignored all the gossips about me.

I have never thought in my life,

a man could stand out

just for defending my name.

they removed Ye Zhao's power,

it was because that Ace we put in Song dynasty.

You mean.

Use that Ace to shake Song empire?

Yujin, when you fought with Mr. Meng.

You looked like a god came down from the heaven.

That Meng He touched my baseline.

Of course he must suffer!

Yujin, what's your baseline?

My baseline is even I have to take thousands of arrows,

I can't let anyone hurt or insult you.

And since general came. My lord can only see her.

Listen to Yang.

She wants to be our lady!

My lord. Yang wants to meet you.

What's that?

Said last night,

they found a woman's dead body

next to Lu Zhenting's garden.

Hope you can go check it. A dead woman?

Preliminarily cognizing,

she was the missing girl on the list,

Hongqiang.

She... she is dead.

If I let her live, then we will be dead!

Episode 34.

Even lord Qi can put some nice words for me.

I might not got executed to death.

But still I'll be punished hard.

Punished?

They'll put me in jail.

No, my lord.

You can't be behind bars.

If you are,

our family will be ruined totally.

My lord.

If I really wind up like that,

I won't be able to take care of you.

If I'm really imprisoned,

I'll probably be killed before I get released.

My lord, I'm still here for you.

You?

You're just a woman.

What could you do?

My lord.

To keep our entire family safe.

I'll turn myself in.

Wife.

My good wife.

I didn't expect you could sacrifice yourself so much.

I will never let you down, wife.

My lord.

Lu Zhenting from Changsheng Wager Shop asks to see you.

Why he come here?

Let him in.

Yes, my lord.

Lu Zhenting greets the Capital Magistrate minister He.

Mr. Lu, what can I help you?

A little gift. Please accept.

What are you doing?

I didn't do anything that deserves this!

Go back home with this stuff!

Minister He, if you don't accept it,

how dare I ask you for a favor?

Mr. Lu, just tell me what's the matter.

Take this thing back.

Okay.

I'm here for the case of Hongqiang.

Miss Hongqiang died in my back yard.

I'm innocent but get inflicted.

Minister He, please

help me find out the truth.

The case of Hongqiang.

Don't worry.

I'll handle it according to law.

Minister He, you're a clean official.

I've heard of that for a long time.

But this is to thank you.

Minister He, please take it.

Mr. Lu.

I can explain the case to you if you want.

But if you want to bribe me, you better leave.

Seeing is believing.

You're really a great clean official!

I admire that.

Come on. See yourself off.

Excuse me.

Trying to bribe me with so little gold?

Not my cup of tea!

Suspect Mrs. Ding.

State the murder process.

Make sure it's true and clear.

Don't fabricate anything!

Otherwise, one more crime to yourself!

Understood, my lord.

Go ahead.

I made Hongqiang's acquaintance on the street.

I saw her write nice words on the lanterns.

So I invited her to my mansion

to write some characters for me.

But I didn't expect she would be avaricious.

She stole my gold and jade bracelet by the way.

I was mad.

So I slapped her on her face to teach her a lesson.

I didn't expect that she cried and ran away.

I thought she was small-minded.

When I went to look for her,

she was already gone.

My lord, how could I expect that she

would commit suicide in the well?

The well in my home was dry.

If they didn't dredge the watercourse lately,

I wouldn't know till now

that there's a dead body in my home.

My lord, you must uphold justice for me.

The dead girl worries me.

I'm so afraid everyday.

Guards. Bring in the witness.

The witness must give true evidence.

If it's false, you'll be punished as an accomplice!

Understood, my lord.

What's your testimony?

Hongqing indeed stayed in my Prunus House for a while.

Her temper was so stubborn and bad!

I told her to sing a song for the guests.

She just pulled a long face .

Ruined my business.

That day, I was so mad that I beat her.

I didn't expect her threatening to jump

off the building on the spot. My lord.

Everyone in my trade knows the thing!

My lord, please see the truth!

Yes, my lord.

Hongqiang was from the red light district.

She was bad-tempered and stubborn.

She was caught stealing my property.

And got schooled by me in public.

So she jumped into the dry well.

My lord.

I was indeed not calm enough.

I shouldn't slap her to vent my anger.

I should send her to yamen directly.

But.

When Hongqiang died in the dry well after that,

I really have no idea, my lord!

My lord.

My lord, please handle the case impartially.

What's up?

Who's that?!

My lord, please handle the case impartially?

My lord, so much gold! My lord!

He threatens me.

He threatens me with the gold!

My lord, if he wants to give you this, just take it!

We can't! We can't take the gold! -My lord! -We can't!

My lord!

Whom are you gonna return this to?

Besides.

Who would throw gold into someone else's home?

If you return this to him tomorrow,

he will deny

and accuse you of taking bribes.

By then, you'll never clear your name!

In my opinion.

We'd better accept the gold first.

Maybe it's from some Robin Hood.

Such heavy gold.

Lu Zhenting.

You bastard.

You damn scoundrel!

How... How could I have no way out?

After detailed process of evidence acquirement,

this case becomes pretty clear.

The dead Hongqiang indeed had a fight with Mrs. Ding.

She wasn't herself.

So she jumped into the well.

The dead was insulted so much before she died.

Mrs. Ding must take the blame.

Stay behind bars for three years.

Give the dead's family five hundred taels of silver.

As compensation and burial fee.

Guards!

Put Mrs. Ding into the prison!

Yes!

My lord, I'm wronged!

I'm wronged!

I'm bothered so much mentally.

Have mercy, my lord!

Dismiss!

Yes, my lord.

ZIYUN PAVILION

My lord, you came back at the right time.

Now the political landscape changes.

Fan Zhongyan grows more rampant and intervenes secretly,

trying to subvert our major officials' positions.

I heard the One Hundred Officials Map proposed by him

points out the prime minister shall answer for officials' failures.

His majesty has commanded Fan Zhongyan to investigate all corrupt

and incompetent officials around prime minister.

Many people have seen their jobs suspended.

I've been an official for twenty odd years.

I tried my best to assist empress dowager Liu's governance.

Spared no effort for state affairs.

But now empress dowager is gone.

His majesty sees me as a thorn in his side.

Fan Zhongyan criticizes that prime minister

damaged the empire over the past twenty years,

monopolized the power, undermined the politics,

made all people fearful.

Prime minister, Fan Zhongyan pushes you so hard.

Wants to replace you.

You're in great trouble.

Fan Zhongyan is so despicable.

He takes advantage of the reform to crack down major officials.

Also targets at you, my lord.

He's truly overestimating himself.

Facing such a rampant man,

do you have any solutions, my lord?

Prime minister Lv.

Ye Zhao has no military power now.

Fan Zhongyan carries forward the reform, reaps many enemies.

He's not fearful.

But to remove the trouble once and for all,

we must work together,

cooperate well against the same enemy.

Brother, have some tea.

Right.

Brother, why did you come here so early?

His majesty told me to supervise

the three departments' financial expenses.

It's still early.

So I came here by the way.

The three departments.

Its director is Grand Preceptor Liu.

He's overwhelmingly powerful.

Also a political enemy to you.

He does his job.

I do mine.

A clean hand wants no washing.

I heard the One Hundred Officials Map you compiled

also satirizes Grand Preceptor Liu's

relying on empress dowager Liu to get promoted.

Brother, you can't be more careful.

If this goes on,

you'll offend all officials in the court.

What I'm debating about are all state affairs.

With no prejudice and grudges against anyone.

Right.

Hongqiang died in the Lus' dry well.

It sounds too ridiculous.

Hongqiang never coveted wealth.

She wouldn't do such a stupid thing as stealing.

But she's indeed stubborn.

The Lus framed her.

So she committed suicide.

It's very possible.

Hongqiang died wrongly.

Brother, what's your plan?

Duke supervised this case.

The body rotted badly.

Coroner Xu couldn't even proceed with anatomy.

Now general just loses her job.

She must feel very upset.

At this moment.

I don't want to bother them any more.

Brother, you're busy.

It's better to finish what his majesty told you to do first.

Sis, take good care of yourself.

Remember, you're general Ye's sis-in-law.

Do set a good example.

Yes. Don't worry, brother.

Alright. It's late now.

I should go to the three departments now.

Let me see you off.

Elder Ye.

Minister Fan.

Don't call me that.

Am I that old?

Well, so how to address you?

You can call me Youngster Ye.

Youngster Ye.

Youngster Ye?

Grandpa.

Don't make it hard for my brother.

He always respects for seniority.

How could he call you Youngster Ye?

Granddaughter-in-law.

You're one of our Ye family.

Why do you speak for him, such an outsider?

Now that minister Fan is a representative of the reformists,

you should also reform the way of address!

You're right, elder Ye.

But the reform doesn't mean to deny everything.

Especially, not to deny seniority rules, ethics and rites.

As the sage said.

Being respectful without rites helps nothing. Being cautious without rites makes cowards.

Being brave without rites brings trouble.

Being outspoken without rites sounds harsh.

Youngster Ye won't listen. Won't listen.

Off you go. Off you go.

Why do you always turn to ancient sages?

Makes me dizzy.

Off you go.

-Okay. -Go. Go.

Excuse me.

Grandpa.

Granddaughter-in-law.

Do you and Fan share the same mom?

Of course.

Although brother is a few years older than me,

we're full brother and sister.

Why he always looks serious and numb.

His adopted daughter got killed.

But he showed no emotions.

I know my brother.

Hongqiang got killed.

He actually feels very bad deep down.

But now.

He's busy with the reform.

His majesty has high expectations on him.

Brother has to leave it aside.

With no time to show sadness.

But there's someone

who's sadder than him.

Who?

Xia in duke's mansion.

Hongqiang is the apple in his eyes.

Grandpa, what do you mean by that?

Xia has Hongqiang in his eyes.

But Hongqiang doesn't have Xia in her eyes.

Xia has Hongqiang in his eyes.

But Hongqiang doesn't have Xia in her eyes.

Grandpa, what are you talking about?

You and minister Fan really look like full brother and sister.

Grandpa, you mean

you know what happened to Hongqiang?

Do you know what happened to Hongqiang?

Grandpa!

I gotta leave to have fun. Have fun.

Won't talk with you.

Have fun. Have fun.

This...

Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Why did you just tell half of the story?

How Hongqiang died?

Grandpa, how Hongqiang got killed?

I have no idea. No idea.

I was lying to you.

You were lying?

Are you sure?

Yes.

I was going to

prepare a pot of chicken soup with ginseng tonight

as a tonic for you.

But now I think you don't need it.

Because you're strong and quick witted.

You also run fast.

So.

I better prepare it for you when you get older.

Listen, granddaughter-in-law. Here's the thing.

The chicken soup takes time to be done.

You go stew it now.

Above mild fire.

Well...

When I truly get old, I'll eat it.

And it won't be late.

In my opinion. You're smart, young and agile.

You won't get old even in eight or ten years.

Forget it. Forget it.

I better go back to raise a group of little chicks.

When they grow up,

I'll stew one for you.

Granddaughter-in-law.

I think,

you better stew one today.

Today?

I can stew one today.

It's just...

Hongqiang...

Hongqiang...

Alright. Alright.

I... I...

I'll let you know right now!

But don't let anyone else know this.

I promise.

You...

Get the chicken soup done first.

I'll tell you after I eat it.

Grandpa!

Hurry up, granddaughter-in-law! Go!

Hurry. Hurry.

I'm starving! Hurry.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT

My lord, what can I help you?

I'm here to wait for minister Liu.

Minister Liu will be here soon.

Are you decocting medicine for him?

Yes.

Minister Liu doesn't feel well.

He takes herbs and a gallipot.

tells me to decoct medicine.

My lord, please have a seat.

Sacrifice for national interests.

How dare you be so cocky before death?

Strive to solve public problems.

So minister Liu wants to spur himself on by Ban Gu's compliments

given to Sima Qian.

Fire! Fire!

Help!

Over there!

Fire!

Fire?

Fire!

Help!

Help!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Gui, why this happened?

My lord.

I was decocting medicine for you.

I went to the toilet just now.

But soon I heard the finance department is on fire.

So I came back to put it out.

But it's late already.

Except Gui, anyone else has entered this room?!

My lord.

After I left,

only minister Fan stayed here.

Minister Liu.

You asked me here to discuss about finance.

I didn't expect a fire would befall here!

Tell the Ministry of Penalty to investigate!

Yes, my lord.

Fan Zhongyan!

You explain this to his majesty by yourself!

Minister Liu, that...

Hurry! Hurry!

Grand Preceptor Liu.

As director of the three departments.

Don't you know

what kind of place the finance department is?

Ease your anger, your majesty. I was wrong.

The fire devoured our dynasty's five years worth of account books!

Grand Preceptor Liu, don't you know your sin?!

Your majesty, I'm wronged.

Why is that?

Your majesty allot billions of silvers every year.

To every department.

For construction and major expenses.

According to our common practice,

Summary reports must be done at the end of the year.

Each department must go to my department

to report financial expenses.

I was doing a routine job.

Informed Fan Zhongyan to go there.

But unexpectedly.

I caught a cold lately.

Didn't get recovered.

So I told my manservant to decoct medicine in my office.

After Fan Zhongyan arrived,

the minute my manservant left for the toilet,

the fire started.

On the site, only minister Fan was there.

Minister Fan is always on bad terms with me.

Holds grudges against me.

So he upset the stove.

Trying to frame me.

Your majesty, please see the truth.

Fan Zhongyan, can you explain that?

Your majesty.

I did upset the stove.

But it wasn't before the fire started.

But after that!

Your majesty, minister Fan is lying.

Back then, only minister Fan stayed in that room!

Your majesty.

There was someone else who set the fire.

To frame me and get me killed.

Your majesty, please see the truth!

Fan Zhongyan.

Do you have any witness or testimony?

I went to minister Liu's department to report my work.

With no companion.

Your majesty.

That's just Fan Zhongyan's chicanery.

Now with relevant manservant's testimony,

and evidence provided by the Ministry of Penalty,

the fact is clear and unquestionable.

Your majesty, please take a look.

Jiang Lvhai.

GUI'S TESTIMONY

INVESTIGATION FINDINGS OF THE MINISTRY OF PUNISHMENT

Fan Zhongyan.

Now all the evidences point to you.

You say you're wronged.

But can't prove it.

What else could you say?

I'm not guilty.

According to current evidences, the fire

was set by someone.

But there're many suspicious points.

Whether Fan Zhongyan is guilty entails further investigation.

Now, Fan Zhongyan is responsible for the reform.

So his punishment shall be postponed for now.

And be done in the future.

I'm so grateful that your majesty can have mercy on me.

Grand Preceptor Liu.

As the director of the three departments.

You failed to keep the account books safe.

But let them be burned and made a great loss.

As of today.

You're demoted to the three departments' warehouse keeper.

In charge of new account books.

If you make a mistake again,

I won't let you off so easily.

Your majesty. Your majesty!

You... Trying a case like this.

It's too rash and casual!

This is not your style. Your majesty.

Impudent!

I'm the emperor.

Don't need to discuss with you when I make a decision.

Your majesty.

Trying a case like this is too rash and casual.

This is not your style!

Your majesty! Your majesty.

Your majesty. Your majesty.

Zhao.

Here, take your medicine.

Here you go!

Come.

You're ill. No complaints.

If you hate it,

you must eat it up!

Listen to yourself.

I must eat up whatever I hate?

That's right.

It's like...

I hate you so much.

I wish I could chew you up and swallow you!

You really hate me so much?

Not "hate you".

Extremely hate you.

You really hate me so much?

The Aroa Dagger?

Yes.

Another one?

Inside that room.

Go fetch it.

Okay.

Here it is.

So there are two daggers.

One is real.

The other is faked by master Li.

Days ago.

Someone gave his majesty an Aroa Dagger.

Said they found your weapon on the scene

of master Li's murder.

Tried to use it to impeach you.

But how odd it is!

How could there be another dagger?

Do you remember you told me

the night when master Li died,

you took away the real Aroa Dagger.

And he faked one over night.

Look at his dagger.

Does it look like Zhao's Aroa Dagger?

Master put away the original dagger.

But I asked him to give me back last night.

Well, there's a fake one in Zhao's room.

And here's another one on the scene!

Is it because master Li loved this dagger so much

that he faked another one over night?

I remember it now!

Probably because the murderer used the fake one

to simulate traces of the murder.

But how could it end up in his majesty's hands?

According to law.

The weapon shall generally be kept by yamen

with the criminal's lawsuit materials.

Unless...

Unless someone stole it out.

That's right!

Zhao.

Here comes our job.

Let's go have fun with the case!

Okay.

Bravo! Bravo!

That's awesome!

Bravo!

Bravo! So amazing!

You're good.

I got this. I got this.

Sis Qiu Hua, you're so awesome.

-Thank you. -Here, have some water.

Sis Qiu Hua.

Although I've fought in the battlefield,

I haven't had any weapon of my own.

You're so good at weapons.

How about you help me decide

what kind of weapon shall I have?

What kind of weapon do you like?

I like pitchforks.

Then you may have a crescent pitchfork!

A crescent pitchfork?

Well, sis.

How large and how heavy shall it be?

How large and how heavy...

How about you go there with me, sis?

Okay.

-Okay. Come. -Be gentle.

I'm also a girl!

-Okay! -Isn't it?

We also want to learn the basics!

Take your time. Take your time.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Having good Kungfu,

we can join the war!

Yes, we will.

Work hard.

Sir.

What can I help you?

We want a long crescent pitchfork.

132 meters long, two centimeters wide.

Crescent-shaped.

The fork, a palm wide.

Must be sharp-edged and tough.

Made by high-class iron.

We'll pay high.

Okay. Five taels of silver.

One tael as the deposit.

It's on me! It's on me!

Okay. You may come to take it in three days.

No problem!

The weapon is decided.

Let's go back.

Sis Qiu Hua.

Look.

It's so bustling here.

How about we look around for a while?

What else do you want to buy?

I also don't know what to buy.

Just wanna look around.

Okay. Let's go.

Okay.

Xu Duohua?

You ignorant and pretentious brat.

No wonder Qiu Shui told me

you're coveting somebody above you!

Well.

Let me see how you're gonna win my daughter's heart!

Xu Duohua.

I don't think you're gonna buy anything.

How about we go back?

Sis Qiu Hua.

I've never seen you wear jewelries.

You must look nice with jewelries on!

Me? With jewelries on?

Will it look nice?

Sure!

Look, this one, so vintage and unique.

Try it.

Try it.

You don't say.

It indeed looks nice.

Let me buy it for you!

No. No. I got this.

Miss.

He wants to give it to you as a gift.

It's not something expensive.

Only costs five wen.

Miss, just take it.

Don't fail his sincerity.

Look, he also insists so.

This man has good taste.

He chooses a vintage and low-key

wooden bracelet.

It really fits you, Miss.

I'll take it, then.

Here you are, sir.

Okay.

In the past, I didn't understand

why those madams and ladies

would wear such heavy jewelries.

Now I got it.

It would make its owner feel so happy!

Sis Qiu Hua.

If you're free, you can go out a lot.

I'm also free.

I can be here with you.

To protect you and help you choose jewelries.

Thank you, Xu Duohua.

Any member else in your family?

My grand-parents.

My parents. Two elder brothers.

A little brother and a little sister.

What a big family!

Yes.

But after i back to the capital,

I just went back once.

Now I miss them a little.

What's wrong?

Seems there's a sand in my eye.

Let me help you.

Dad?

Dad!

-Uncle Laohu! -What are you doing?

Captain Laohu, why are you bullying me again?

I'm not!

I'm here to teach you a lesson!

Make way!

Dad.

-Dad! -What are you beating me?

Stop running!

Dad, what are you doing?

Brat, listen to me.

My daughter is gonna marry a scholar!

Not you, a soldier!

You'd better drop the idea!

Uncle Laohu.

Listen to me.

I'll be a scholar as of today!

I'll go buy the Classic of Filial Piety now!

I love Qiu Hua!

I only marry Qiu Hua!

Well. Well.

I'll break your legs, then!

Run away? Stay here if you dare!

Who's your uncle!

I don't have such a relative as you!

Very well, daughter.

You really surprise me.

I worked so hard and raised you for twenty-two years.

But Xu Duohua

took you away just with such a cheap bracelet?

So impressive!

Dad.

You didn't raise me for twenty-two years. You just raised me for sixteen years, okay?

After that, it's general who raised me.

Now you even start to answer back to me!

I'm so pissed off.

Dad, I didn't mean that.

Now your daughter is not a kid any more.

I've grown up.

Yes, you've grown up.

And you can marry someone.

But you're gonna marry a scholar.

Not Xu Duohua.

What kind of thing he is?

He's just like me.

Can't read any characters!

Anyway.

I don't agree that you date with him.

Dad, you heard him.

Xu Duohua said he gonna learn the Classic of Filial Piety.

Bullshit!

I also know the Book of Family Names!

Is it enough?

General, general is also not a scholar, remember?

But she's so prestigious now!

You said general?

General is our Song's pride!

Xu Duohua is our Song's nonsense!

Dad.

Enough. Stop saying anything.

Anyway, i won't agree

your marrying him.
