[Nirvana In Fire II]

[Episode 3]

[Xiao Yuan Shi, Crown Prince of Liang]

[Empress Xun of Great Liang]

Yuan Shi, how do you feel today?

I'm a bit hungry.

Quickly, summon in the meal!

Yes.

It's because Guru Puyang performed
the ritual to calm his nerves

that the crown prince has
gotten better so quickly.

[Great Liang's Guru, Puyang Ying]
Crown Prince is unwell.

It is an illness formed from
the malicious aura and the current flu.

The imperial physicians treat the illness
while I disperse evil spirits.

We worked together to have this effect.

Guru, you have always been very humble.

You never take credit for yourself.

I'm too flattered.

Prince of Changlin is already
heading back to the capital.

Whatever happens in this case...

Whoever takes charge
of this investigation

neither you nor the Ministry of War
should meddle in it.

We can only hope

that the men we sent out can clean up
the mess at Datong Prefecture.

As for the rest,
it's meaningless to brood over it.

Master Xun. Master Song.

Master Song's face has dimmed.

There's a sign of
decline in your fortune.

The malicious aura
is coming from the north.

How has your family been?

What did you say?

It's normal for a person's fortune
to have its ups and downs.

Master Song, fret not.

I'll take my leave.

That Puyang Ying...

Although he is respected as the Guru

he is no more than some
occultist of the White Cult!

How dare he behave so arrogantly?

All right now.

Although unlike Southern Chu State

we don't completely
believe in the White Cult

we have not banned it either.

Since Empress Xun invited him
into the palace

His Majesty's asthma and
Crown Prince's health have improved.

We can't say that he doesn't
deserve any credit for it.

[Datong Prefecture]

Mister Qin, the envoys have
already set out from the capital.

You made this trip personally.

Isn't it somehow inappropriate?

Master Song was your mentor.

This is a known relationship.

Why pretend otherwise?

[Duan Tong Zhou, Song Fu's assistant]
At the moment, the shipwreck

must be disguised as an accident.

No one must find any solid evidence.

Be honest with me.

Is everything all cleaned up?

Speak!

[Datong Prefecture's Governor Zhang]

There was a small passenger ship
right behind the ships.

There were a few doctors
from Jifeng Hall.

They saved quite a few men
from the water.

I know that
since the matter got out of hand

we can't allow that many to live.

I immediately sent
my men to clean up the mess.

However...

However?

Although we managed to
sink that passenger ship

three of the doctors still managed
to rescue one of the ship's captains.

They got away.

They got away?

Have you not found them yet?

We are already searching
within the prefecture.

I have also have my men monitoring
the clinics in Jifeng Hall in town.

Once they make a move,
I'll be alerted.

Monitor them?

Since you know that
Jifeng Hall's doctors saved him

why didn't you barge in
to search the premises?

Jifeng Hall is a renown medical family.

They are known for
saving lives and curing illnesses.

What we are doing now
can't be made known to anyone.

How could I justify the search?

We can't be bothered with that now.

Whatever excuses you can make up,
search their clinics now.

What are you here for?

Open it up to take a look.

Sir.

Your Grace, are you really
going to meddle in this business?

[Xiao Yuan Qi, Marquis of Laiyang]
If what they said is true

then this is no trifling matter.

As a member of the Imperial Clan

how can I stand by doing nothing
now that I happen to be here?

Your Grace!

Greetings, Your Grace.

Commander Qian, you've worked hard.

You are--

I'm searching for wanted criminals.

Is there a wanted list posted?

These are just some habitual offenders.

Oh... habitual offenders?

I'll leave you to your work.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

The local officers are patrolling.

They claim to be
searching for criminals.

They have the entire city surrounded.

Your Grace, you surely understand that
the hunt for criminals is an excuse.

They are in fact coming after us.

They killed at night
to silence the witnesses.

I didn't believe in such matters.

Yet now...

The three of us are but ordinary doctors.

We thought that we happened
to witness a shipwreck.

Hence, we did our best
to save a few people from the canal.

If we weren't being hunted along the way

who would have known that
behind this accident, is--

Is he the only one left of those
you managed to rescue?

Yes, indeed.

If Your Grace hadn't run into us
and offered to lend a hand

we might not have managed to get here.

- Exactly.
- Don't you worry.

I do at least have quite a status.

I happened to be traveling
and arrived here.

I am a total outsider.

No one has noticed this residence yet.

It will be all right.

Thank you, Your Grace.

Your Grace, you can't keep
hiding them in here.

This gentleman is right.

How could we allow such a crime
to be covered up?

We have to try and escape from here
to report this case.

I might be an idle nobility
in the capital

but even I would know that
such a case involves a great many.

Even if you make it out of
Datong Prefecture with some luck

to whom will you report this case
to ensure that it isn't covered up?

The provincial governor?
The Governor-General?

Or the capital?

Ladies, take care.

Thank you.

Sir, what do you think of this jug?

Stop right there!

We're arresting criminals!
You are all to stay put!

Search the front and back.
Detain everyone you see!

Yes!

Stand on the side and don't move!

Stand back! Move back!

[Jifeng Hall]

Come.

Miss Lin, I admit that I offended you.

But I've already apologized for it.

You don't have to follow me around.

Since I left Gan Province

you've been right on my heels.

You're not going to tell me
that that's a coincidence?

Are you going to follow me
all the way to Datong Prefecture?

That night of the shipwreck
in Datong Prefecture

besides the three supply ships that sank

a small passenger ship
was also knocked over.

There were five doctors from Jifeng Hall.

Two are dead and three missing.

You have your reason
for going to Datong Prefecture.

So does Jifeng Hall.

I'm sorry.

I... I really didn't know about that.

Miss Lin, I was just making a joke.

I don't really think that
you're following me around.

Good morning.

Shall we?

We have to hurry.

Didn't you say that
we're going to where the ships sank?

Why bother coming into the city with me?

I did plan to look for evidence
at the spot where the ships sank

but there's no rush.

I'll feel more at ease to see you
back in Jifeng Hall.

Come have a look! It's all fresh!

Jifeng Hall is just ahead.

Young man, I heard that
the doctors here are really good.

I came to see one in particular.

Why is it closed?

You're down on your luck.

You came a day too late.

A murderer escaped yesterday.

He happened to escape into that clinic.

The local officers barged in
to arrest him.

They had a fight in there
and everything was broken.

Give it some time.

They need to tidy it up. It will take
days before they can reopen.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

There are officers checking
identities at the city gates.

Jifeng Hall is in trouble.

It seems that we are both right
to have made a trip here.

Let's go.

Miss Lin.

Yun.

Miss Lin, you've finally arrived.

There are people living here?

I know that.

Your Grace, you saw it for yourself.

The local officers have searched
all the inns and restaurants.

They will eventually find their way
into this residence.

It really isn't ideal
to keep them hiding in here.

Even if this shipwreck
really was an accident

the capital will send
someone here to confirm it.

Not to mention that there are so many
suspicious factors in this case.

It's only a matter of time
before someone is sent here.

Don't fret. We'll wait for a while.

Your Grace.

The capital is very far away from here.

If the envoys don't get here in time
and the officers find them first

what about Your Grace's safety?

Even if the officers end up
finding them here

which of them would dare
lay a finger on me?

Your Grace!

Your Grace has been righteous
to offer us a helping hand.

We're deeply grateful.

If there is no way out of this in the end

we will leave on our own.

We can't implicate Your Grace in this.

Doctor Chen, as a member
of the Imperial Clan

I have enjoyed the luxuries of life.

Hence, I should also take responsibility
for defending this nation.

This is a serious offense that
endangered the security of our border.

Isn't this what a descendant of
the royal Xiao family should care about?

I wonder why Doctor Chen
thinks this would implicate me.

Your Grace, I have misspoken.

Your Grace, please don't mind me.

Your Grace, when we left the capital

Grand Madam specifically instructed me...

Uncle Tai, are you just like Mother?

Do you think that I'm
only capable of idling around?

I can't pull off anything else?

No, not at all. That's not what I meant.

Moreover, it's already too late
to say all this now.

I am already involved in this case.

Since it has come to this

we should take action instead of
waiting around doing nothing.

Your Grace... What do you have in mind?

From what you just said

it was Commander Qian
of Datong Prefecture

who led the officers
to search the premises.

He had everyone detained.

But after checking their identities,
he didn't arrest anyone. Right?

Correct.

It's obvious that
Commander Qian was searching

for the three missing
doctors of Jifeng Hall.

However, since he is still
searching everywhere

it means that
we didn't get here too late.

Yun, tidy up a room for our guest.

Yes.

It's such lovely weather.
The moon must be bright tonight.

It's quite suitable for a trip
to the prefectural office.

You suspect that the prefectural governor
is also involved?

Although it isn't only Governor Zhang

who could order around
a fifth-rank commander

I don't think he would be
totally unaware of this case

if the commander has had checkpoints
in the city every five steps.

How about it?

It's rare to have the moon out so bright.

Miss Lin, should we go and
admire the moon tonight?

I'm not joining you.

Why not?

It's the first day of the lunar month.

Why would there be a bright moon?

You can go on your own.

Have those men escaped from
Datong Prefecture's jurisdiction?

That's impossible!

The first thing I did that night
was to seal off the border.

It's said that the ship's captain
suffered a mild injury to his leg.

If they were to escape

my men would have caught up with them.

There's only one possibility left.

They could have snuck back into
the city to wait until this dies down.

Those men didn't even return
to Jifeng Hall's clinics.

It proves that they are very cautious.

Moreover, they are all locals.

If they mean to hide themselves
in such a big city...

It will certainly be
difficult to find them.

We had a deal!

The transport officer
of the Ministry of War is in charge

of delivering the military rations
to my jurisdiction.

If any problems should
occur within my jurisdiction

they just need to be
disguised as accidents

and I won't be punished too severely!

Once this dies down, my mentor promised
to recommend me for other positions.

But now?

Never mind recommending me

if I don't even make it past
this critical stage, I'll be dead!

Prefectural Governor, we're only
missing a few witnesses.

There are still ways to make up for it.

You're already in a panic.

Isn't that a bit too soon?

What if those men--

There's an assassin!

Catch the assassin!

Who are you?

Leave now.

What great skills.

Mister Qin, that was...

Envoys from the capital
couldn't have gotten here so soon.

He must have come from
the northern frontier.

The northern frontier?

Are you hurt?

Let me take a look.

I'm all right.

I underestimated my opponents.

That man... he can't be just
an ordinary subordinate.

His palm gale only grazed past me.

It didn't hit me.

How did my clothes--
It looks like they were burnt?

Shadowless in the region of ghosts...

The dark flames of hell.

- Duan Tong Zhou?
- Duan Tong Zhou?

It must be true.

It must be him.

He ranks fourth in
Langya Hall's Pugilist Ranking.

No one knows
Duan Tong Zhou's background.

Is it true that no one knows
anything about his origin?

Not even Langya Hall?

There are so many people in the world.

How could Langya Hall recognize everyone?

A skilled fighter like Duan Tong Zhou

can't possibly have been
hired by just anyone.

It proves that the dark secret behind
this case is far darker than I thought.

Who knows which influential characters
in the capital are involved?

Who is it?

Yuan Qi?

Commander Qian.

Mister Qin.

Did any suspicious person enter
the city during the day?

Since the incident, we have been
very strict at the checkpoints.

There aren't any
suspicious looking people.

But there is a prestigious visitor.

A prestigious visitor?

Who is it?

Marquis of Laiyang.

Is it His Majesty's nephew, Xiao Yuan Qi?

Prince of Laiyang's posthumous son,
the younger brother who died young?

Yes.

He was out traveling and arrived here.

I even met him
at the city gates this morning.

When did he get here?

About half a month ago?

Half a month ago?

Yes, I remember now.

When he entered the city,
we didn't question him much.

He is, after all, nobility.

None of us dared to offend him.

How strange.

I wonder what scenery is
so remarkable within Datong Prefecture

that the young marquis
would linger on for so long?

Mister Qin, you mean...

How about this?

When the day breaks,
we'll gather our men.

Let's pay the young marquis a visit.

Greetings, Your Grace.

Commander Qian.

I wonder what it is in my residence
that could have you knocking on my door

so early in the morning
with such a crowd.

The governor heard that
Your Grace has been held hostage.

He has sent us to your rescue.

Seeing that Your Grace is safe and sound,
I'm very much relieved.

Nothing but nonsense!

Who told you that
I was being held hostage?

I am just carrying out the orders.

Your Grace, please forgive me.

You are to arrest all the criminals
within the premises!

Be careful not to let
those villains hurt His Grace!

Yes!

Check over there.

Look for secret chambers and passages.

Commander Qian,
none in the north chamber!

Check inside.

Commander Qian, nothing was found.

- And?
- We've searched everywhere.

There's nothing at all.

All right.

Go on.

Your Grace, the tip was incorrect.

We've disturbed you recklessly.
Please don't take it to heart.

Let's go!

Ping Jing is really something.

Shut the door.

- Greetings, Your Grace.
- Greetings, Your Grace.

- Second Young Master.
- Miss Lin.

I've asked the captain of
the ship several times.

He said he'd only talk

when Changlin Manor's
second young master is here.

What did you say?

You didn't even find one person?

Mister Qin!

This matter has gotten out of hand.

Not only is my life at risk

but also that of Master Song
in the capital!

You should come up with a plan.

It has already come to this.

So many innocent lives
were lost because of you.

If you wish to survive

you must tell me
everything that you know.

Speak now.

This is the second young master
of Royal Changlin Manor.

He's the only one who can save you now.

I work for the transport bureau.

I've been steering ships
for more than 10 years.

I've always been very meticulous.

However, something came up at home.

My son owed a huge gambling debt.

Commander Qian came to me.

He said...

Look at this carefully.

This sum of money is enough
to get your son out of debt

and settle your entire family
somewhere for a lifetime.

Of the three cargo ships,
yours will lead the way.

As you turn into Tiger Bay

slow down immediately and head south.

Spin your ship 90 degrees.

What?

That... That will result
in multiple collisions.

Exactly.

This is what we want. Stranded ships.

That--

We're shipping military rations.

Why are you doing this?

Those high up in the capital
are playing their own mind games.

Why do you care?

The prefectural governor
will have your back.

Don't worry about anything.

Those high up in the capital?

It seems that there's a greater
mastermind behind all this.

Judging from his testimony

I can now understand
why Duan Tong Zhou is involved.

These days, while in hiding,
I've been thinking about this matter.

Some other parts of the ship
must have been tampered with.

Multiple collisions between three ships.

It all got totally out of hand.

I saw the other two ships capsize.

Even mine nearly
couldn't make it for long.

There was wind and rain.

It was also at that location.

If the doctors' passenger ship
hadn't happened to pass by

no one would have been rescued.

Sadly, we only managed to save them then.

We only hauled up seven or eight men.

We had planned to rush to
the next harbor quickly

but just as the day was about to break

we were intercepted by
those men who hunted us down.

Those of Datong Prefecture
are unlikely to get away

now that we have your testimony.

If only... we could also
find some solid evidence.

I've heard that one of the ships
can't even be hauled out.

The other two were brought out of
the canal but they are totally shattered.

I'm afraid it won't be easy to
find any solid evidence.

You mean to say that
remains of the ships are still here?

Exactly.

Sir, you need not panic.

Even if we can't catch them

we are only missing the witness.

There's still a chance
to defend yourself.

His Majesty is a forgiving man.

He's always handled matters with rigor.

As long as the Royal Changlin Manor
fails to obtain solid evidence...

not all is lost.

I hope that it turns out as you said.

As for solid evidence, tell Master Song
that he need not worry.

The provincial governor came to
supervise the hauling of the ships.

I was concerned that
I might be questioned

so I had the remains tidied and cleaned.

There is no trace of any documents.

What did you say?

I said that no trace of documents
was left behind.

What hauling of the ships?

They are just fine in the canal.

Why did you haul them out?

I'm not the one who wanted to do that.

This is a huge accident.

Although it is within
my prefectural jurisdiction

the provincial governor will
still have to look into it.

They sent someone to supervise
the hauling of the ships.

How could I hold them back?

- Get my horse.
- Yes.

It seems that someone in the prefectural
office realized their mistake.

We're still too late.

You said that he rushed over there
and burnt everything?

Indeed.

We didn't do anything.

Prefectural Governor, fret not.

I got there in time.

I had everything taken care of.

What exactly did you take care of?

What else needs taking care of?

You're a smart man.

How can you possibly not
have figured it out by now?

The deal we had was
to cause a small accident

to delay those ships
for a few days and that was all.

They just so happened to have met
with a rainstorm that night.

Accidentally, it resulted in this
because of a mistake in the process!

Could it be that I got it wrong?

Could it be that Master Song had intended
to be so ruthless in the first place?

Prefectural Governor.

We're all in this together now.

Saying what it originally was
or what the plan was in the first place

is now totally meaningless.

Sir!

This prefectural governor is so strange.

He left those ships
by the shore for so long

and then suddenly thought of
getting rid of them?

Who cares what his reason is?

The ships are burnt anyway.

Not even a bit is left.

Hold on.

Not everything is cleaned out.

There's still one at the bottom
of the canal.

I already asked about it
while you were out.

There were undercurrents
near where the ships sank.

It's going to be winter soon,
so the water is now too cold.

Even the best divers won't dare
to take such a risk.

Miss Lin. Yuan Qi.

Do you know what
my nickname was at Mount Langya?

I don't know.

You know about the Cold Crystal
at the bottom of Lake Han?

You have no idea how many of those
I've retrieved with my hands.

That's why I'm very famous
at Mount Langya.

They call me the aqua dragon of Lake Han.

What are you laughing at?

I'll stop laughing. Where's your tail?

Aqua dragon?

Did she just smile?

Smile.

I thought that you don't smile.

Sir, will it really be better to
send Madam and the young master away?

Every inch of land
belongs to the emperor.

I know that it might not
save their lives in the end.

I'm just doing it to
set my mind at ease for some time.

You must remember accurately
where the ships sank.

You mustn't get it wrong.

I will never forget this location.

Ping Jing is now in Datong Prefecture.

I wonder how the situation is.

Although the members of
Jifeng Hall are assisting him

they are still small in numbers.

A secret investigation
doesn't require full force combat.

It hurts?

Ping Jing went into
Datong Prefecture alone.

There's the advantage of
taking action in small numbers.

Moreover, that child thinks
and acts differently than we do.

He acts more like those in
the fighter's world than we do.

I certainly believe that Ping Jing
can bring back solid evidence.

However...

What happens after he retrieves it?

There's a huge distance between
Datong Prefecture and the capital.

Won't those who plotted all this
be brewing another scheme?

Isn't it about time for us
to make the next move?

We're not too far away from
Qi Province's Shanliu Military Camp.

All right then.
