[Ep 35]

Yuerong.

Are you all right?

My uncle has been coveting my Wozhou.

He delivered a decree due to the deluge.

He ordered us to donate all our money for the relief fund.

And he demanded me to send the relief fund in the palace.

If I guess right, he will take me as hostage again.

But I have been a hostage for ten years.

He just wants to annex my family and Jun's stores.

Bloody fox.

Enough, the emperor is more and more suspicious of you.

But in recent years, he is slack in the state affair.

People live in the abyss of suffering.

I think marquis governs Wozhou with benevolence.

He can bring people happiness.

I think we should bring the peace to people with the deluge.

From tomorrow on, we send the relief fund to Yeyu palace.

But we won't send the money to the emperor.

As far as I know, the premiers and

the ministers of 6 departments are concerned about the country.

Unfortunately, the treasury is now empty.

They can't do anything.

So we will give part of the money for marquis to them.

We will let them do this.

You want me to buy over the ministers?

No, it's a hearty trade.

We should let them know who is the emperor of virtue.

Duan Yuerong.

How dare you!

I told you to donate the money.

You didn't do as I said.

You even take the liberty to squander the relief fund.

You can be sentenced to death for each crime.

Come, take me away.

We did nothing wrong.

I have something to say.

The second step is your family will donate the money with Jun's stores.

We will build the institutes for refugees and orphans.

And charity schools.

Till then the people will make a comparison.

They will know who deserves the throne.

No matter how uncle ignores the state affair,

if he knows I defy against him,

he will punish me severely.

So the third step is critical.

This is the signature of ten of thousands of people.

They asked me to write the expostulation.

What's written in it is what they want to tell you.

They asked me to tell you this clearly.

The emperor took the throne for 28 years.

You have the tendency toward boasting and exaggeration.

And squander money like water.

Waste the money in flowers, birds, fish and antiques.

We the people are suffering from it.

Most of the villages are empty.

People live in the open air.

They eat the barks and drink the dirty water.

Hundreds of thousands of people are starved to death.

But the emperor pays no heed to it and pushes it to an extreme.

Take him away.

Where is my imperial guard?

Take the bastard down.

Guards, are you dead?

Where are you?

Your Majesty, please calm down.

I think the crown prince should take

some credit for the refugee resettlement.

And marquis donates all he has to the relief fund.

We have no reason to punish him.

We should let crown prince finish.

Your Majesty, please accept the advice.

What are you...

You want to rebel?

The hearts of the people.

Nanguo was a country of beautiful mountains and rivers.

But now we have no woods and field to be cultivated.

We the people are displaced.

We live in the wandering life.

Now the deluge is a condemnation.

But we the people are innocent.

We want to ask the emperor, when will your desire have an end?

When can we go home?

Great, all of you want to see me die.

That's not what we mean, your Majesty.

Your Majesty, the condemnatory expostulation

represents people's desire.

Please have mercy, your Majesty.

Please have mercy, your Majesty.

Your Majesty, send for a doctor.

Send for a doctor.

Young master, be careful.

Come here.

Don't run, young master.

Jump.

Young master.

Be careful.

It's just a little injury.

Why do you put on an act?

No wonder my mother tells me.

Fox is fox.

Young master, let's go.

Are you all right?

Mother, I am fine.

Young master Feiyun is more and more vicious.

Madam, we should tell the lord.

Sister.

Don't let my father know.

Liu'er.

Lord.

Why not let me know?

I saw what happened just now.

Mother said, we are facing national calamity.

So we need to be united as one.

So I will bear with it no matter what.

Good boy.

Come.

Come.

I made this for you.

Kylin lock. Do you like it?

Thank you father, I like it very much.

You are a sensible mother.

Tell ma'ma Lian to teach Yuan Feiyun well.

If the elder brother doesn't know to love his younger brother,

he doesn't need to go out of Rongball hall.

Yes.

What?

You.

You can't blame me.

Tell me what's wrong.

You blame me.

Your Majesty.

The doctor says, you need to have a good rest.

You can't be angry.

Who is speaking?

Your Majesty, this is ginseng congee.

Good for your health.

Ginseng congee? No need.

I ask you.

Can you tell me?

Your family live a hard life?

Your Majesty, my home was gone 10 years ago.

Rich families went to Dongting.

Poor people begged along the way.

My family have died long ago.

It's not true.

You are lying.

Right?

Say it.

My paretns sold me here from an early age.

Because they couldn't support me.

You.

Your Majesty, my hometown had plague of locusts.

Few people survived.

What?

My dad died because he ate loess.

Not my fault.

You...

I will be good to you.

Tell me the truth, I will be good to you.

Tell me.

Tell me the truth.

My sister all starved to death.

Then my parents starved to death, too.

And all their corpses are gnawed by the beasts.

Your Majesty.

You summon me here at the late night.

What's the problem?

I went out today.

I didn't expect my country is so poor.

All the people are scolding me.

The place people want to go most is not Yeyu palace.

But your Wozhou.

Now all the memorials talk about the poverty in the country.

All the ministers have good opinion of you.

I admit.

Now I am besieged on all sides.

You win.

I wonder if you still remember this.

Plebeian is more important than monarch.

Harmony is the best policy.

You know how to please my father since childhood.

I think you should save these pleasing words for him.

Brother you have forgotten it.

I didn't say this.

You said it yourself.

Me?

Father loved me more in childhood.

But he valued you more.

He said.

You are clever and intelligent.

You are well-learned.

So he named you the crown prince in advance.

The mission is to make people and country rich.

Bring peace to people and rule the country with benevolence.

We need to adopt the good advice.

Just because of this, I make up my mind

to be a good leader in my Wozhou.

You are my good example.

I said so?

Long ago, I wanted to be an emperor with a good name forever.

I should be like my father.

I didn't know why you changed after the succession.

You increased the taxes and building booms.

You seek novelty of stones.

But in my heart, you are as enthusiastic and vigorous as ever.

And lead the people towards a new fairland.

Brother, I have only one wish.

I am willing to follow you to

create a prosperous country for all the people.

Brother.

It's not too late now.

These years, I hate you and persecute you.

What I fear most is your ability.

I am afraid one day you will take the throne.

But till you, you still didn't change your original intention.

But I indulge myself in power and in serious hedonism.

Gang.

Do you hate me?

Brother.

You are my only brother.

How could I hate you?

Yes.

At the beginning, I also had dreams.

I hope we brothers could work together.

And make our country rich and powerful.

But now I failed my people.

I am sorry for them.

Gang.

You are right.

It's not too late now.

Do you think so?

Lord gave Feiliu Kylin.

Only my son can wear it.

He didn't give it to my son.

What does lord mean?

All craps.

Get out of here.

Yes.

And you.

You are good for nothing.

Ma'am, calm down.

Go.

Find Liu Yansheng's belongs.

Yes.

Young master.

It's from Mu Zonghe again.

This time it's the sum of the previous money.

Where is he?

He didn't come.

The shopkeeper sent this.

I didn't expect you would help me take the throne.

You are so different.

Say it.

I reward you whatever title you like.

I ask you for nothing else but the forty- sixty.

I am opening up a new business path.

Till then you will have much more than now.

Great.

Next I need to govern a country.

It's not easy to make the country strong and rich.

It needs more financial and human resources.

Much more than my Wozhou.

And treasury has financial deficit each year.

I really need more financial resources.

Your Majesty, please enlighten me.

People say, the most prosperous place is Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou.

Duke Zhang Zhiyan in Jiangzhou issued a ban on business.

No foreign merchants are allowed in Jiangzhou.

If you can open the business road from Nanguo to Jiangzhou,

we will make huge profits.

Till then, we will go fifty-fifty.

How about it?

Ok, I will go to Jiangzhou now.

Thank you, your Majesty.

Long time no see.

You are so bureaucratic now.

Ma'am.

Sir promoted me as Linde's commander of infantry.

Well, Yang'er is promoted again.

How is he doing in family Yuan?

I think he needs to take action now.

He is the commander in chief of Linde.

Now he is very important in family Yuan.

But every time I told him to take action, he scolded me.

He seems...

What?

He seems to enjoy the life now.

Ridiculous.

He is going to forget who he is.

There is nothing I can do.

Now only you can enlighten him.

Time to go back to see my old friend.

Keep up.

Chunlai, how far is it from Jiangzhou?

Ten miles away.

Sir.

Who?

Sorry for the interruption.

Please forgive me.

Who are you?

My name is Yoyo.

I am the famous prostitute in Xianyue brothel in Jiangzhou.

My lover redeemed me days ago.

On the way back home, we ran across the bandits and

he abandoned me in the mountain.

I want to go back to Jiangzhou.

It's so far away from there over the mountains.

I am so scared.

Sir.

A woman appeared in the mountain so suddely.

I think it's a trap.

Chunlai, I can't abandon people in need.

Yoyo.

You can go with us.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

It's getting late.

It's dangerous if you march on.

Let's find an inn.

Everyone, follow me.

Don't move, don't move, behave.

Don't move.

Boss Jun, right?

You are here for money.

Let's have a deal.

You can take our money.

But you need to let us go.

Mr. Jun speaks with confidence.

But we kill nobody but you the rich and cruel merchants.

Who told you I am rich and cruel?

Stop pretending.

How can you get the big deal without conspiracy?

Take them away.

Yes, yes, go.

After brother Feibai won in Yuanzhou,

father rewarded him 10,000 elite soldiers.

We Linde had three consecutive victories.

Father rewarded us nothing.

And thing's going well on the front line.

Father did not let us fight on the battlefield.

He wants brother Feibai to take all the credit.

Prince Xuan went to the battlefield with army days ago.

I'm afraid his force would overwhelm us.

Lady.

Princess Shuyi leaves the message.

It's late now.

She asked when young master Feiqing would go back.

No need.

Tell her, don't need to wait for me.

Yes.

Brother.

You can't be so indifferent to her.

We will need her help.

Family Yuan needs a hostage.

Then I am the hostage.

First princess Shuqi, then princess Shuyi.

They give me the woman that young master Feibai doesn't want.

And when the credit comes, he takes it.

What am I?

Brother, don't worry.

I will help you.

But now what can you do?

Wait for the time to come.

God will bless us.

God will bless us.

Yoyo, I am sorry.

I wanted to take you safely out of here.

Now you are implicated.

As I know, you are rich.

You cheated the money out of people right?

Bury it.

Sounds so familiar.

It's...

The one who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his stick.

All my explanation is the excuse for you.

Please show your true face.

I want to know who you are.

Ok, remember my look.

Revenge on me in next life.

Yes.

Rosemallow.

Fang.

Untie them.

Fang, it's you.

Rosemallow, you are alive.

Fang.

You know each other.

Brother Zhu.

Let go.

My savior.

I never forget you saved my life.

I will kowtow to you.

Brother Zhu.

After we were separated, I tried to find a paradise like Hua's cove.

Then I knew Hu Yong attacked Purple Garden.

I went back and tried to find you.

But you were taken away by Duan Yuerong before I got there.

I went south.

Then I knew, you died in family Yuan.

Then I started wandering around.

Then I met brother Zhu Ying.

We are here to protect village Weilong together.

So here is your new paradise?

Most of them are the poor people abused by the government.

Many old people and children are here.

Why are you a bandit?

You are mistaken.

We only took money from the rich and cruel people.

We didn't expect you are Jun Mowen.

Why Jun Mowen is rich and cruel?

Even if I am a bad guy, only the government can punish me.

Not you.

Only the government, not you.

Fang.

Brother Zhu, come with me.

Don't do these things anymore.

No.

If I go with you, what will I do with village Weilong?

I will incorporate the village into Jun's stores.

It will become my transit point.

So your brothers will earn more than robbery.

Ok, I believe you.

Ok.

I will follow you.

But I have a condition.

From now on, you can't do this again.

Deal.

Now we find a home.

You settle them down first.

And come back to me.

Ok.

I want to ask you something.

It's...

How's Jinxiu doing?

You always bullied her in childhood.

I didn't expect you could remember it till now.

She is the only woman who hit me.

Tell me, how is she doing?

She is fine.

Now she is lord Jin's second wife.

Wife.

Ok.

Good to know.

Sir.

Let you follow you.

I have nowhere to go.

I will follow you everywhere.

No.

You despise me because I worked in the brothel?

It's just my work, I didn't sell my body.

It's...

I have a wife.

It's okay, I can be your concubine.

I won't bring you any troubles.

Let's go down the mountain first.

We need to find a place to stay.

Find a place to stay.

I can warm your bed.

I am fragrant.

Ma'am.

Don't touch it.

It's highly toxic.

It's fatal.

I am the emperor's aunt.

I just kill a bastard.

Even the lord can't do anything about me.

Get it neat.

When duke Zhang explored the way in Jiangzhou with his men,

we had a local despot, Zhenjiangdong.

I think you know him right?

Yes.

They opened a shopping street.

What's it for?

They opened tobacco houses, casinos and brothels.

He is so overbearing.

He disrupted the whole street.

But after duke Zhang appeared,

I don't know what he did.

Overnight

Focus.

It's overnight.

The whole commercial street is flattened to ground.

Duke Zhang used to have many talents.

They are all blockbusters.

He can even shake the government.

So amazing.

Duke Zhang is so amazing.

Not only the local people see him as the protector.

Even the foreign businessmen and talents need his help.

It's beyond any desciption.

Great...

Great...

Thank you.

We want to hear more. Don't go.

We want to hear more.

Thanks...

Sir, wait.

I want to know how Zhang became the duke.

I will come back tomorrow.

Well, I can tell you.

Most of the people are merchants in Jiangzhou.

The one who is called protector is the real king here.

Tell you the truth.

He can take the throne as long he wants to.

If you are the monarch.

Thank you for your money.

It's only a moment between friend and outrance.

Here, sir.

Your good wine.

Have a good appetite.

This is the most prosperous city in south of Changjiang river.

It's as lively as I remember.

Your hometown is near here right?

Yes, it's in the suburb.

But I don't know if it's still there.

I will go there with you tomorrow.

You are in such a good mood.

So great to come here with you.

Go.

I said, I would beat you every time I see you.

Qiaosan.

You need to pay your debt.

Believe it or not.

I will make you cripple if you can't give me the money.

How?

Duke Zhang, it's you.

I am sorry.

He owes me money.

So I am here to teach him a lesson.

Qiaosan, you are not capable.

But you have a lot of enemies.

Get up.

Get up.

Duke.

You make lies about me with your stinky mouth.

I am here to get even with you.

But he gets ahead of me.

How dare you! You offended the duke.

You don't know how to write die?

People all know, I have no yamen or office here.

Because I like wandering around the street.

Yes...

Because I don't believe.

And I have never heard anyone can make troubles under my nose

Duke.

He really owes me money.

How much?

Half year ago, he lent 30 taels of silver from me.

Now it's six months.

How much?

80 taels.

Not much right?

Looks good?

Yes.

No better than yours.

No, duke.

So ridiculous.

The loan can't be like this.

Duke, this is the way I make a living.

It's not what we agreed on.

Duke, I don't accept it.

No.

You need to pay the debt.

It's the rule.

You have to pay.

From today on, you need to pay the money in each month.

till you pay off the debt.

Did you hear me?

Did you hear it?

80 taels.

Duke, you are right.

You uphold the justice for me.

All right.

The topic is over.

Yes, duke.

Let's talk, you beat my brother.

Who dares to beat your brother?

How dare you!

You even dare to beat my brother.

My brother is so unlucky that his creditor beat him.

That's not all.

The creditor even extorts the money from him.

Duke.

He is your brother?

You think?

It's...

You know he raised many crippled brothers.

But you make troubles for him all the time.

What should I do with you?

There is some misunderstanding.

I don't think so.

Let's get even.

I will let you have fun.

Continue.

No, duke.

I will make it fair. Only you. Beat him.

Duke.

I will kill you.

How much do I owe you?

80 taels.

80, how much?

70.

70, how much?

60.

60.

Finished?

I want no money.

No.

We should pay the debt.

He will give you 80 taels of silver, with no penny less.

Go to my house.

And tell them it's me.

Take my money and never appear in my sight.

Go...

Go.

Thank you, duke.

You are rusty in fighting.

I owe him money, so I feel so sorry.

Why didn't you tell me about the brothers?

They are beaten to cripples because of me.

So I have to raise them.

You are the big boss here.

I don't want to make troubles for you.

How can you open your mouth when you make fun of me?

That's the way I make a living.

And I never speak evil of you.

Nonsense.

Otherwise you think you can live?

We used to be brothers and fight hard together.

We swept the street together.

We grow up together.

Come back.

3 taels of silver per month.

You can buy food for the brothers.

A deal.

Go back with me.

3 taels?

4?

It’s up to you.

I will be your ghost if I die.

I only accept female ghosts.
