Why am I thinking about him?

I must not think nonsense.

-My Miss is there. -I'll clean this.

Choose the one you like.

Those two things are...

things I don't like.

Then tell me what do you like. I'll do my best to get it for you.

You need something from me?

My Lord is missing.

Nothing to do with me.

My Lord was mistaken for a trader of opium and was taken away.

But we have not been able to capture the true trader.

But if that real trader runs into His Lordship the fake trader,

then My Lord will be in danger.

Go find the Governor of the Prefecture!

He has many constables!

drug syndicate, we can only search for him quietly.

If they find out, then His Lordship will be in even more danger!

Even you do not know what to do, what can a little girl like me do?

You... Aren't you most skilled at kicking one when they're down profiting from someone's ill fortune? Doing anything for money?

I like the phrase you mentioned that I will do anything...

I'll give it to you when we find His lordship.

Deal.

We are trying to find His lordship, why are you taking me to the beggars?

I want to hear everything that's happened within these 24 hours.

The Zhang family wishes to marry their daughter off, but that daughter is so ugly

Cut the nonsense.

The girls from the Linglong brothel will be taken to place every month to entertain a client of theirs.

But even they do not know where that place is!

Because every time they are blindfolded!

Also...

Alright, that's it for today.

The girls from the Linglong brothel have to be blindfolded when they visit a client.

I think that is a place that cannot be shown to anyone.

Perhaps Xiao Song is there.

But everyone from the Linlong brothel are women, my men are all men.

They cannot make their way in.

Isn’t it fine if you find a girl to go in.

Don’t think of me.

Apart from this...l can give you more.

For the sake of the money, I will help you.

Help you the loyal dog find your master.

This is a messenger arrow, if there is danger just fire it towards the sky.

I heard we have to visit that palace again today.

We will be able to be rewarded handsomely again!

Do not speak nonsense.

Madam Wei said we cannot tell anyone of that place.

-There’s no-one around. -You can't even if there's no-one.

Let me tell you,

if you don't want this...then shut up.

Hurry and get changed.

I'm all done, I'm going first.

Alright! Almost!

Hurry up!

Hurry up and go!

Why are you pushing me? I can walk myself.

Butler, this girl was walking around the courtyard.

Come over here.

Why have I never seen you before?

I...am new here.

New? Then play a melody for me to listen?

Are you...not a musician?

I am.

Let's go.

My Lord.

Come.

Come, come with me.

Beauty.

Come with me.

She is mine.

Alright, she's here.

I didn't expect you...to worry about me so much.

Who is worried about you? I'm worried about my money.

If you die, where will I make money?

Bai Yi followed me all the way here, he's outside, waiting to assist us.

Butler.

I got it, go now.

Stop, stop.

Master six, can I introduce a client for you?

Sure.

Master Six greets the Head merchant.

Master Six?

Then this Master Six, do you recognize him?

I do not.

But I know you.

You’re a fake! From the government.

Head, it was this person who sent someone to capture me delaying our meeting.

I had to go to lengths to contact the people from our field in order to meet with you

I did not expect that he pretended to be me.

He is trying to arrest you, do not fall for it!

This Master Six....

do you not wish to give me an explanation?

Is there any use in explaining?

Head,

he said he is Master Six.

And I say I am Master Six.

Who...do you believe?

Out of these 3 people, only one of them has taken opium in truth.

ill give you the time to burn a stick of incense (about 5mins) to find him.

And write the answer on the paper in front of you.

Do you know what you’re doing, or waiting to die?

Guess.

I am here to save you, you must protect my safety.

Head,

I think..! don't need to write it right?

[Left]

The answer for both two misters are the same.

Officials here for a case!

I...I didn't release the arrow, w-why did they come in?

He is not wearing the boots of an official!

Stop!

We cannot stop!

If we do not get rid of the authorities, we'll have endless trouble!

Master Six, stop!

They are not the authorities!

It was a test from the Head who told his subordinates to disguise themselves as the authorities.

Then I killed a lot of your brothers?

I can offer an expensive burial for my brothers if they die,

but if my partner was an imposter, then it'll cost me my life.

Butler.

Here!

Take that coward to the jail!

-Head, it is a misunderstanding! -Go!

Head! I am the real one! He is the fake!

Head!

T-This is...

Y-You dare to steal my things?!

Head, I use this to protect myself,

you don't mind right?

Of course I don't.

Surely Master Six will not mind if I help you take care of that

arrow that travels through clouds right?

But as this musician dares to steal things at my banquet,

so I must punish her!

Guards!

Head,

this woman is quite beautiful,

why don't...l punish her.

Thank you Head!

Let me go! Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

You dratted rogue! You stinky rogue! Let me go! Let me go!

What are you doing? Let me go!

Let me go!

Yell! Yell louder!

The walls have ears, act more like the real thing.

If you dare to touch me today, I'll kill your entire family,

You will die a horrid death, never to be reincarnated!

Surely you don't have to go that far?

The worst is coming up.

curse you so you will never be able to marry,

and have no-one to see you off in death!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Let go of me!

The banquet has finished, there’s no-one in the hall, I need to go back.

Find a way to distract him.

Why do you have to go back to he hall?

I suspect there is a secret door there!

It is a difficult task, I fear...

You always want money, I'll reward you handsomely!

Deal!

What are you doing?

Help you!

I knocked him out with a vase.

Want to die?

I discovered there is a problem with him.

What problem?

I wish to see the head merchant.

Wait here.

This is painting Strolling about in Spring by Zhan Ziqian from the Sui dynasty.

Where did the boat in the painting go?

You said....there was (gjproblem with this Mister Six?

Yes.

I discovered something on his person.

I am illiterate but I felt that it is strange to carry such a thing on his person.

So I brought it over to show you.

There's nothing in it!

Impossibly! ThaVs impossible!

You return first.

Butler...

Yes.

Why did this woman say that there is a problem with Master Six?

I do not know either.

Only heard her say that....he knocked Master Six unconscious.

Hurry and leave!

Arrest them!

There's too many of them, hurry and tell Bai Yi to help us out!

Attack!

My Lord, are you alright?

I'm fine, arrest them all!

Are you alright?

Get up! Go!

Go!

Go! Hurry up!

The authorities are here! Hurry and go!

Alright...

I finally waited until this day.

I was waiting for you to attack all this time.

Fortunately you did not waste the meticulous trap I set up.

You tricked me!

You were too confident Dalasha.

Not right, I should be calling you...

Wang Lun?

It’s been one year. It's the first time someone called me my name.

I am not used to it.

Why did you become like this?

If it was not you, not Ahmoli, not Liu Can,

would I end up like this?

The source of this was..

you saw something you should not have.

But you must be careful about this.

Recently the authorities have tightened security.

We must find a way to transport our opium ointment out of the town in a different way.

Until..

Who is it?

When I found out someone was trading opium within the Qingli brothel,

I went to the authorities.

But none of the authorities believed what I said.

I knew that Liu Can and Ahmoli have a secret supporter,

as an inferior civilian, I cannot fight against them.

So you decided to go and find Nlng Xiang,

wanted to ask her to leave with you.

Ning Xiang, you 're finally here!

I'm telling you, you cannot remain here.

I discovered someone is trading opium here.

It’s too dangerous here, as a girl...

It will cause the deaths of so many people!

Ning Xiang rejected you?

No she did not reject me.

She only wanted to know the truth.

So I told her.

Although Ning Xiang was the best dancer, but she has a kind heart.

And she really did her best to help

She kept consoling me,

and agreed to leave with me.

But....

She was taken away by the people trading in opium.

Ning Xiang, let me go! Let me go!

It's your fault for seeing something you shouldn't have.

I will now allow you star crossed lovers to make a decision now.

Who dies first?

Attack me! Don’t hurt her!

In your heart, Ning Xiang is the most beautiful person you know.

And now I will show you her must ugly side.

destory her face.

If someone did not over hear us, I fear I would not have survived until now.

But I could never forget that.

Ning Xiang died because of me.

She died because of me!

I never expected you to be so faithful to your love for her.

My Lord, how did you manage to work out that I am Wang Lun?

On the night of Ahmoli's death,

when you brought me the account books,

I discovered that you had blisters on your right hand.

Only someone who is a long term archer,

would have such a blister on the space between the thumb and the forefinger.

Just with that?

When the head merchant used those fake authorities to test you and I,

I noticed that although you seemed afraid,

but the way you avoided the weapons was like as if you were dancing

you were quite nimble on your feet.

And I made the assumption that

you were Wang Lun.

As expected of an important minister, your skills are admirable.

When I looked through the files on this case,

there was no record of this.

You said Ahmoli and Liu Can was the killer.

So it was you who purposefully hid the truth.

Quickly closing the case as a murder of some bandits.

I had reported this to the authorities before,

but none of the authorities did not believe anything I said.

As they did not believe it,

I decided to say it.

I want those people to feel the pain of being strangled.

I want them to feel Ning Xiang's pain!

I wish to seek revenge.

You cannot carry out this plan alone.

I did this alone, no-one helped me.

Wang Lun...

You should be quite familiar with this girl right?

Please come in.

I've left the Qingli brothel long ago,

I forgot who she was.

I never mentioned about the Qingli brothel,

how did you know she was a girl from the Qingli brothel.

Last time when I asked you if you were familiar with the girls at the Qingli brothel,

your answer was...

Your Lordship, I am an honest person.

I do not know those girls at all!

On the night of Liu Can's murder,

you took a leave of absence and caught a cold,

I suspected you all this time.

Now, tell me the truth

how did you catch your cold?

I already told you last time,

I took a walk by the river.

and accidentally caught a cold.

Last time I discovered,

your ribbon was made from fabric of the barbarians.

This type of fabric is quite a familiar sight in Cheng'an city.

But it is quite a rare sight in Suzhou city.

But why was your ribbon made from that cloth?

And the other girls from Qingli brothel,

their ribbon was made from a normal cloth.

At the time I was thinking,

the two of you should have known each other long ago.

Only a coincidence cannot be evidence.

Coincidentally...

The character Cui.

Which girl treated you so well...

giving this to you.

And even embroided her name on it.

Cui Mei remove the belt.

Show this to me.

My Lord, I did this alone,

Cui Mei!

I am waiting for your answer!

My Lord! If you need to make an arrest, arrest me!

Yes! It was me!

This has nothing to do with you!

Enough!

We revealed too many flaws.

We cannot conceal it.

Cui Mei, why did you help him?

I fear...it was because of love.

I had always wanted to be a musician.

But everyone at the brothel looked down on me.

Even the Madam felt I was useless.

That I only deserved to be an inferior maid.

To everyone else, he was a foolish man with a face to match it.

But in my eyes,

he was a man I could rely on.

I knew he loved Ning Xiang.

So I decided to quitely conceal my love for him.

When he was in pain, I was in pain with him.

When he was sad, I was in sad with him.

so I will seek revenge with him!

Wang Lun, you were a civilian from the Tang kingdom(Ghina)

when did you become a Persian?

For revenge,

I must do my best to get close to Liu Can and Ahmoli.

I knew that Liu Can will only come back to Suzhou city every 3 months

so I decided to get close to Ahmoli.

In order to get close to him,

I decided to change my appearance.

I knew I was naturally low in intelligence,

so I studied hard.

I used 6 months to lose weight and become like this.

grew a beard and followed the habits of a Persian.

So when Ahmoli saw me,

he did not recognize that I was Wang Lun.

He naively thought I was a Han Chinese who grew up in Persia.

And kept me by his side.

And only through this way did I know every movement they made.

So on the night of the brothel, it was you with the help of Cui Mei,

hid yourself on the roof of the pagoda that Liu Can was killed.

I knew that Liu Can will come to Suzhou every 3 months.

was waiting for this chance.

For that chance, I became as thin is a twig and learned to dance the masked dance.

The only reason why Cui Mei caught a cold was

because she was hiding by the pool helping you out.

You disguised the murder as a strangulation

because Ning Xiang was strangled to death.

In order to make it as if a ghost was back to commit the murder,

after much thought I figured out a way to disguise the murder as a strangulation

but actually killed through a needle shot in the Bai Hui acupoint at the top of the head.

So that the medical examiner could not find the cause of death or any leads at all.

The fake strangulation mark on Liu Can's neck,

was done when you were committing murder at the pagoda.

And Ahmoli was by your side every day,

so you had a chance any day to

to rub a a fake strangulation mark using

white wine and goose blood on his neck.

Nothing can escape your eyes.

When I went to find you

and asked you where Ahmoli was,

you purposefully lead me to take the longer path round.

Pinjiang river?

That's rihgt My Lord, the Pinjiang river is in that direction.

Just follow this path, and you will reach it after passing through a small alleyway.

Yet you took the shortcut.

Found a way to get through the roof

and killed Ahmoli.

You purposefully attracted my attention by the South gate right?

I had infiltrated this place before but could not find any evidence.

I believe as you have solved countless cases,

you will definitely help me find evidence of the Head Merchant's crimes.

So I purposefully caught your attention threw awa the ade

in order for you to infiltrate this place as Master Six

and find evidence

to expose the crimes of the Head Merchant!

You purposefully lead me to

find the truth of Ning Xiang's death.

I said before I cannot let Ning Xiang die pointlessly

although the ones who killed her were Liu Can and Ahmoli.

but I know the person who ordered it was the Head Merchant.

And as for why the room in the inn was arranged to resemble Ning Xiang's room,

I think the answer was simple.

Liu Can booked that room on a contract basis,

and would be cleaned out on the night before Liu Can came to stay in it.

And the two of you bribed the innkeeper.

cut up the furniture you had ordered to be made,

and whilst the other guests were sleeping you moved them all in through the window.

Returning it to the state of the room during Ning Xiang's murder.

The scratch on the windowsill is evidence.

The truth...is finally out!

Wang Lun be careful!

Cui Mei!

-Cui Mei! -This is the final thing I can do for you.

Cui Mei!

Cui Mei! Cui Mei! Cui Mei!

I will kill you!

You cannot kill him!
