Miss Gong,

about the death of Chu Qi'er, I want to ask you some questions.

Who are you?

The case has already closed. Why do you still pester Miss Gong?

Who did you conspire
with to kill Chu Qi'er?

Was the rouge sprinkled
in the underdrain that day the mark you made for the murderer?

The rouge was alum free and you were the only one who had that.

Who was your accomplice? Why did you kill Chu Qi'er?

I didn't intend to kill her,

but she went too far in bullying me.

At first, I competed with Chu Qi'er
for being the painting model.

That day after training, she had a discussion with me.

The competition is coming soon.

Why don't you consider quitting and providing accompaniment to me?

I've been working hard for long. Why would I quit?

How dare you talk to me like that?

Your grandpa, the old minister,
is about to retire.

What right have you to
put on a lady's airs to me?

You always act delicate and attractive.

You make me sick.

I wonder if you can
still pretend to be pure

and flaunt your talents after losing virginity.

After that, I hid in my room and
wept the days away.

Chu Qi'er threatened to spread the news all over the capital.

I was so scared that I had to quit
the competition and back her instead.

But I hated her so much.

Please, Heaven, punish her.

Let her fall in relentless hell.

There are so many bad guys in the world.

How could Heaven
punish them one by one?

Who are you?

It doesn't matter.

You hate her so much.

Why don't you get rid of her?

Heaven can't help you, but I can.

Really?

Who is he?

Nor did I see his face.

He only told me to drop my rouge at the mouth of the underdrain

to guide him on the competition day.

Bullied by Chu Qi'er, you deserve of sympathy.

But you conspired with the murderer to kill Chu Qi'er with poison.

You're his accomplice.

You'd better turn yourself in
to the Ministry of Justice.

Wait.

You go home first. Don't mind him.

Mr. Lan, one should
answer for what he does.

You've helped me a lot. I don't want to be a burden to you.

Chu Qi'er bullied good people and had no regard for human life.

She deserved it. It wasn't anyone's fault.

Mr. Lan, I've made a big mistake.

It's been preying on my conscience. I couldn't sleep.

So I left your mansion.

I want to go home and
say goodbye to Grandpa before I turn myself in.

If you didn't resist and let her
bully you at will, it wouldn't be fair.

But... I know you feel guilty.

But think about it. Your grandpa has been upright
all his life and enjoyed prestige and respect.

Now, he's going
to retire honorably.

Do you think it's worth it
to disgrace his name because of a woman like Chu Qi'er?

Moreover, the minister
has no family but you.

How could he spend the rest of his life
without you?

Mr. Lan, did you really say those righteous
words for the good of Minister Gong?

After the crime, you
learned that Miss Gong conspired with the murderer.

Worrying that the news might get out,
you sent someone to get the rouge case.

So, a light of fire came
out of the underdrain.

Afterward, you obstructed my investigation
again and again and hid Miss Gong in your mansion.

No matter what you think, Yuzhen won't plead guilty.

You don't have any evidence.

You cover up the truth
and harbor the murderer. You're not fit to be an official!

It's not your place to teach me
how to be an official.

Even if you pass the exam, such a fool as
you won't last three days in the officialdom.

Go back to run your petty business.

At least I have a clear conscience. What about you?

Dare you say you don't feel guilty?

A League of Nobleman

Episode 7

[Jing'an Community
Minister Gong's Mansion]

Mr. Lan, Minister Gong is waiting for you
at the study.

Where is Yuzhen now?

Sir, don't worry.

I've sent extra hands to protect Miss Gong well.

Did you do this for my recommendation?

I'm determined to get the position of the Minister of Rites.

But I also did that for Yuzhen.

Though she's an accomplice and doesn't deserve to die,

prison and exile to the border would be
too much for a weak girl like her to stand.

Yuzhen had no appetite a while ago and looked listless.

If I had asked her,
everything might not have happened.

Sir, don't blame yourself. I've arranged everything properly.

Just say the word, this thing will
disappear forever.

Your son was the
Prefect of Youzhou before.

To reveal corruption, he and his
wife both died, leaving Yuzhen behind.

If they knew what happened to Yuzhen, how could they rest in peace?

Sir, now, we still have a chance
to turn it around.

If you take a step back, you can not only save your reputation,

but also get Yuzhen
out of it unscathed.

Covering up the crime
and concealing mistakes

isn't what a gentlemen should do.

Yuzhen is my granddaughter. I'm responsible for her mistakes.

I'm willing to take the blame with her.

Even if people curse us,

that's what I must bear.

It turns out I'm the only one

that shamelessly seeks personal gain.

Of autumn the cicada sings.

In prison I'm worn out with care.

Who would believe its spirit high?

Could I express my grief in word?

Lan.

Your father used this poem to show his aspiration while in prison.

If he knew his son became like this,

what would he feel?

In prison, your father expressed his ambition with the poem.

The loyalty and anger showed clearly
in his words and manner.

He didn't reveal the truth

even when he was executed.

If you two were close friends, why had he never mentioned it?

Because he worried that

we would be framed up for ganging up.

Then, in the last ten years, why didn't you tell me anything?

Because your father asked me not to tell you.

Or even recommend you.

[Lan Lin]
I have one last unreasonable request.

Do tell me.

I won't regret my death.

But...

But, I worry about my son, Lan Jue.

Lan.

Lan. Don't worry.

I'll take good care of him, and treat him as my own son.

He is the son of a sinner.

You shouldn't adopt him.

I only ask you to help him secretly,

and keep him alive.

OK.

Lan. Lan, get up.

Remember to tell him, never to enter the official career.

The day twenty years ago,

were you the man who saved me?

Where is the traitor?

Hanging at the market entrance.

Who is the traitor?

Either a pig or a dog.

Where is the traitor?

Hanging at the market entrance.

Who is the traitor?
Either a pig...

My father wasn't a traitor.

He was wronged.

- Beat him.
- He was wronged!

He was definitely a traitor.

He was wronged!

Stop!

Forget about redressing the
injustice for your father.

Try to live well.

I wanted you to forget the past and live a normal life.

You look after my house. I'll pay you a wage.

It's much better than sleeping in the open without food.

What do you say?

Can I get enough candles at night?

Sure. You can.

OK.

Confucius says, the disciple within should exercise filial piety;

Without, fraternal respect; Should be prudent and faithful;

Highly affectionate to all and intimate with the good;

When he has leisure; He should apply to learning.

Confucius says, the silent treasuring up of knowledge;

Learning without satisfaction; And instructing others untiringly;

Which one of these belongs to me?

Confucius says, the virtuous is free from anxieties;

The wise is free from doubts; The brave is free from fear.

Go ahead.

But, you are brilliant.

You overcame all difficulties
and made it to the Third Category.

I know you've tried every means to be the Minister of Rites,

so that you can go to Nandong, and
redress the injustice for your father.

Over the years in the ministry, I've been cold to you,

for fear that you would rise too fast and put yourself in danger.

I haven't accomplished anything your father requested me to do.

He wanted you to be alive,

but I watch you become like this.

He asked you not to
enter the official career,

but I watch you struggle desperately in the political whirlpool.

In the end, you're forced to go against your will,

and fall into a wrong path.

Lan,

I failed to

live up to your requests.

I can no longer protect your son.

He has to go his own way from now on.

Sir.

Let the minister decide from now on.

I won't interfere with it again.

What about the minister's position?

Let's find another way.

Xu Dong, escort Yuzhen
to Gong's Mansion.

Yes.

Mr. Lan.

What happened?

Miss Gong was missing.

What's going on?

She received a letter, asking her to discuss the case.

I asked her to ignore it, but she insisted on going.

She said it might bring the truth
into daylight.

So we went to a corner by the river
to meet the guy.

He wouldn't let me approach.

So I waited at a distance.

But after I waited for a long time, I heard Miss Gao yelling.

When I got there,
she was disappeared.

We're in trouble.

[Ministry of Justice]

That's what happened.

Do you still regard me as a brother?

If Gong Yuzhen wasn't kidnapped, were
you going to keep it from me all your life?

I don't want you to get your hands dirty.

It's ridiculous that by exhausting all efforts, I
only hurt the people who love me and protect me.

All right.

Right now, we should catch the murderer first.

- Let me in.
- You can't go in.

Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping.

- Mr. Wang.
- You can't get in.

He, sir. He...

Have you heard about Dr. Sun's death?

He died exactly like Chu Qi'er.

Dr. Sun?

What happened?

Dr. Sun of Baoshan
Pharmacy died a few days ago.

The body was also rigid, the skin gray, with cracks.

It seems that Chu Qie'er wasn't the murderer's only target.

But Mr. Lan, you obstructed the investigation for your own interests.

Peizhi didn't kill anyone.

He also wants to find the real killer.

If he didn't cover up for Gong Yuzhen or mislead
the investigation, the real killer might be caught early.

Zhang Ping, it was my fault to lie to you and misguide you.

But Yuzhen has been
kidnapped by the murderer.

I don't know if she's still alive.

I hope more than anyone to solve the case as soon as possible.

Yeah.

I admit that you
were right before.

Let's continue our competition.

The murderer has killed two people.

Perhaps, he would kill more.

To prevent more from being killed, I hope
to work with you and crack the case soon.

The poison is extremely weird.

To catch the murderer, we should start from the poison.

These are all the things left by Chu Qi'er and Dr. Sun.

Since they died of poisoning, there may be a trail of clues.

Mr. Lan, I don't need your help.

Zhang Ping, Peizhi is granting you a favor.

Why are you ungrateful?

Every time when Mr. Lan did me a favor, I was misled.

I'd rather him not do me favors.

Isn't this Dr. Sun's unfinished Symptomatic Diagnosis?

Something is wrong with the preface.

The signature stamps should follow
the rule of yang above and yin below.

Yang is the name. Yin is the style name.

In between should be
space the size of a stamp.

But both the stamps are yin with no space between.

There's a layer of red
powder on the stamps.

Is it poisonous?

As expected.

The murderer dusted the powder
over the ink.

Such covert means
wouldn't alarm Dr. Sun.

The two stamps were used to enlarge the
area of the ink to hold more poison powder.

When he turned the pages, the poison powder flew out.
[Symptomatic Diagnosis]

Dr. Sun died of inhaling that.

Exactly.

Search mountains and seas
for everything.

Differentiate and use them
for patients' good.

As flowers bloom
a man reaps what he sows.

The murderer really did a lot.

He even wrote the preface for Dr. Sun.

But the last line seems not suitable for the first two.

Is the murderer suggesting something?

Flowers bloom

I've checked the lotus.

No poison there.

Witnesses told me that when Chu Qi'er was
dancing, the lotus didn't open until the last minute.

Then Chu Qi'er dropped dead.

The poison is red.

Since it could be hidden in the ink,

it could also be hidden
in the red stamen.

When the poison came out, Chu Qi'er died of inhaling it.

Now I get the
meaning of the last line.

The murderer is playing
a guessing game with us.

Writing brush.

It seems to be Injeeten.

[Injeeten]

[Sixian Bookstore]

The ancient book you just read is Scenery
Journal from the ancient Mo Kingdom.

There are some supernatural stories.

I know a little about the culture of Mo.

If you don't have time to read so many
books, perhaps, I can help you a little.

Read this one first.

What, is there any clue?

Is there any clue?

Here recorded the legend of Injeeten.

It says that when the ancient
Mo Kingdom was founded,

Injeeten sent the Six Sages to the earth to educate people.

The Six Sages were
Oungwule, Medicine-sage,

turned from a divine bird, who could ease people's sufferings;

Arnage, Dance-sage, who danced with grace
and taught people to convey feelings by dancing;

Morengen, Wisdom-sage, with four heads and
eight arms, who imparted wisdom to the world;

Zansang, Farmer and Sericulturist Sage, turned from a silkworm,

who taught people to cultivate mulberry and weave.

Uyu, Warden-sage, wearing a crown
of branches, who judged the evil deeds;

And Ronakin, Musician-sage, good
at playing various musical instruments,

who brought the gospel to the world.

Why does it sound so strange?

Wait. There's something odd with the first two sages.

The first eased people's sufferings.

Dr. Sun was an expert in curing diseases and saving people.

The second danced with grace.

Chu Qi'er was an outstanding dancer.

Do you think that the murderer selected
his victims according to the Six Sages?

If it's true, who is the next sage?

Morengen.

He was said to have great wisdom and a different look.

He had four heads and they looked exactly the same.

Four heads?

Exactly the same?

Let's go to Wuming Pavilion.

The four sages of the Feng Family
are the most famous talent in the capital.

- And they are quadruplet.
- Quadruplet?

[Suburbs of Ning'an City
Wuming Pavilion]

Sir.

Sir.

One of our scroll paintings
has been damaged recently.

Masters are mending it
with the door closed.

They didn't even come out. How could anything happen to them?

Smell of blood.

Report it to the Ministry of Justice.

Yes.
