[Cemetery, a suburb of Ning'an City]

Could I take a look

at your face?

Did we meet somewhere?

I've also looked for you for a long time.

A League of Nobleman

Episode 9

Go search every place to find Zhang Ping.

- Yes. - Yes.

Sir.

I can't believe the embalmer would throw the body here.

Search carefully.

Don't let go of the faintest clue.

Yes.

Wait.

Look for pepper.

Where am I?

I must be looking at the statues made of dead bodies by the killer.

Why did you drug me and tie me up here?

Help.

Help.

Miss Gong.

Why is she here?

She's my Ronakin.

You said you'd also looked for me for long.

Why?

Answer my question first.

Why did you help me with the cart

and come with me?

I knew you were the killer.

How did you know?

Your eyes told me.

Back then in the dark culvert, your eyes startled me.

You looked at me with your left eye dull and empty.

It occurred to me later that it was an artificial eye,

which explained the strange footprints in the culvert.

Your left footprints are heavier than the right ones

because of your blind left eye.

When you walk, you keep your weight on the left

to compensate for your biased vision.

Could it prove that I'm the killer?

You also left your trace at the murder scene.

You got an itch from flea bites

and thus keep scratching yourself.

I found bite marks by fleas on the bodies of the Feng brothers.

Those fleas must come from you.

An embalmer takes care of transporting corpses.

Because of this identity, you can move these bodies as you like without being suspected.

And I notice the red powder out of the cloth bag on your waist.

At that moment, I confirmed that you were the murderer.

Excellent.

Now you should answer my question.

Why did you say you had also looked for me for a long time?

I knew it. You are the best man for Warden-sage.

Uyu.

Uyu?

That's me.

Sir.

This is the cart of the embalmer.

Zhang Ping's pepper bottle is also on it.

Are we near the mass grave burying the refugees of Guiyi Community?

All poor people who no one cares.

So the government appropriated a small amount of money

to have embalmers collect the bodies and buried them here in the forest.

Then this forest must be his lair.

Search this place.

Find him at all costs.

Fire off a signal flare after you find him.

Yes.

We'll also act separately.

Okay.

Be careful.

Let's go.

Why am I Uyu?

The conundrum

in the book of the Physician Mr. Sun and the lotus flower of Chu Qi'er,

was designed by me to select Uyu.

In the end, you solved it.

That day, I waited under the Wuming Pavilion

to see who could get my clues and come.

You didn't let me down.

If that's the case, why did you leave the gavel as a clue?

I thought the Warden-sage you wanted was Mr. Tao, head of Court of Judicial Review.

If I had directed at you, you would have been alerted

and I wouldn't have been able to lure you in.

I've always wanted to know

where your Scarlet Mist Spray comes from.

Where?

I made it myself.

Have you ever used it elsewhere before?

I did countless evil things with it.

Which one did you refer to?

Moluo Village, Lingnan District. 20 years ago.

Too many questions.

You just need to know

that I developed the spray

and did everything else for my friends.

It's your mission.

Your friends?

After I offer the six sages again

to the god of creation, Injeeten,

he will start a new world

and send my friends and me to a place

where there will be no more suffering

and we will all get a new life.

Shi Nu.

Hu.

I'm gonna meet you soon.

Now the time has come

for you and Ronakin to return to your places.

My eyes.

Lime powder!

You won't be able to change anything.

Zhang Ping. Where are you?

Warden-sage, Uyu.

Musician-sage, Ronakin.

You are also at your places.

Finally.

I finally found the six sages

and could offer them to you,

my lord of Creation, Injeeten,

Please take us to the Pure Land.

Hu.

Shi Nu.

We'll meet soon.

This is the Pure Land.

I made it.

I...

Hu.

Shi Nu.

I did it.

I delivered my promise.

I've come back to save you!

Hu.

Shi Nu.

You will no longer suffer.

Come out.

Come out!

Where are you?

It's not right.

It's not right.

Why is it like this?

Where are you?

Hu.

Shi Nu.

What's happening?

Impossible.

It's impossible.

I've sacrificed the six sages.

Why is this happening?

Why?

Why?

I've been sent to the Pure Land?

Why am I still in the Drug Mound?

Where am I?

Where the heck am I?

My eyes.

Lime powder.

The moon is reflected in the water.

I want to neither leave nor stay.

Whatever in my mind

will become reality.

The six sages have returned to their places.

I could finally

offer the six sages to you.

You can go to the Pure Land now.

This is the Pure Land.

I succeeded.

Why am I back in the Drug Mound again?

He has lost his mind.

Why?

Why? Why is all this?

Go on asking.

Why am I still in the Drug Mound?

Why?

Because they haven't forgiven you.

Tell me the ins and outs.

I can help you.

You?

Help me?

Right.

You are Uyu, the Warden-sage.

You can help to prove that I've fulfilled my promise.

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you everything.

Drink it.

Drink it.

Drink it.

35 years ago, a plague swept through the Yong Kingdom.

My parents died of the disease

while I survived and got stranded in the capital city.

However, a quack doctor lured me here.

He ran a clinic on the surface

but sold poisons in secret.

Used as his drug testers,

we lived in hell.

Fortunately, I met Hu and Shi Nu there.

We depended on each other.

So I have the strength to live on.

I remember one time

we prepared ourselves to escape.

Drink it.

Drink it.

Will you drink or not?

Drink it now.

You want to run?

Stop. Get back here.

- Run! - What are you doing?

Get help to save us!

You brats, let go of me!

- I'll come back for you. - Come back!

Hu and Shi Nu risked their lives

to help me escape.

I hid here and there.

A few months later,

I ventured back to the Drug Mound.

But

it was too late.

Too late.

With resentment and hatred,

I also began to develop poison.

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.

It took me many years

to make the poison of poisons,

Scarlet Mist Spray.

And I found that quack doctor's place,

Huian Pharmacy.

I took revenge for Hu and Shi Nu.

That day,

the air was heavy with red mist.

His whole family paid with their lives.

Skin ashen and body cracked,

they died in extreme pain.

However,

after all this was done,

I didn't feel relieved at all.

I returned to the culvert

and became a wandering ghost.

And one day.

A master told me about the legend of Injeeten

and this magic circle.

He said I could use Scarlet Mist Spray

to gather the six sages.

That way,

Injeeten would realize my wish

of reuniting with Hu and Shi Nu

in the Pure Land.

Who? Who told you that?

In the legend of Injeeten,

there's no such thing as a magic circle.

Why is that?

He lied to you.

Impossible.

He wouldn't do that.

The legend is real.

Tell me.

Why did I fail?

Why didn't it work?

Why? Why?

What went wrong?

Who's the person that misled him?

What went wrong? What went wrong?

His mental state is quite unstable.

He's about to wake up.

Has Mr.Lan arrived?

These tombs seem to form a pattern.

Someone arranged them this way on purpose.

This star chart of Seven Mansions which belongs to Azure Dragon

In the legend,

Injeeten was the incarnation of the Erina Star on earth.

Erina is how the Mo people

call the star of fire in the Seven Mansions of Azure Dragon.

If the murderer was Injeeten...

I know why.

You are still alive.

That's why my ritual didn't work.

You ruined my plan.

It would never work.

That man lied to you.

It's impossible.

As long as you're dead, I will succeed.

Oh, no. He's gonna wake up.

This must be a dream.

I want to wake up.

I want to wake up.

His inner world is falling apart.

Zhang Ping.

I want to wake up!

Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping.

Mr. Lan. Mr. Lan.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. I used Water Illusion on him.

But he's going to wake up.

Mr. Lan.

Mr. Lan, help.

Don't move.

Miss Gong.

You must be Lan Lin's son.

20 years ago,

was the murder case of Moluo Village

committed by you?

And how much

do you know about my father?

What a pity.

It's too bad

that you'll never know the truth.

What is the truth?

Go to the Pure Land together with me.

There's a trap rigger on the altar.

Destroy it.

Hu.

Shi Nu.

I'm coming for you.

He just died like that

and didn't tell you anything?

In that critical situation,

we had to save Yuzhen first.

It's not easy to find someone in the know.

What about your father's case?

I'm only sure that he knew my father.

So he probably also knew what happened to Moluo Village.

But in his lair,

[Seven-star Begonia] except for bottles and jars of poison,

we found nothing.

It's okay.

We still have time.

- Call it a day. - Yes.

Mr. Lan.

I can help you investigate.

I know that for you the case is not over yet.

I'll go invite him once again.

I heard that a serious murder happened in the capital.

Your Majesty.

Mr. Wang did a great job and found the criminal.

But he was a little bit late.

The criminal killed himself before we could interrogate him.

What about the rumor about soul absorbing?

Soul absorbing is absolute nonsense.

Those weird deaths were caused by drugs.

After a thorough investigation, I've destroyed the lair of the killer and confirmed that there is no poison left.

The rumor has been clarified.

In addition,

Minister Gong's granddaughter was also involved.

I've submitted a report about the details.

Please be lenient with her for the sake of Minister Gong's hard work and her ignorance.

Gong Yuzhen can be spared from death.

But Minister Chu lost his beloved daughter and has been on sick leave for days.

Miss Gong can't go unpunished.

The Minister of Justice will decide.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Mr. Lan, you also contributed to the investigation of the case.

Your Majesty.

I just did what I could.

I don't know much about the details.

Mr. Wang did most of the work.

Even the Minister of Rites could do their part.

But the Court of Judicial Review did little.

I am guilty.

This case caused a sensation.

Aren't you ashamed?

Your Majesty.

It's not the fault of Mr. Tao.

The murderer was crafty. Mr. Tao's hands were tied.

That's why I acted without authorization.

How is it that you're defending him?

Your Majesty.

I saw Mr. Tao write Brochure of the Persuasion for Goodness

and educate criminals with his subordinates.

He's so dedicated to his work.

All right.

Find a way to redeem the reputation of your court, Mr. Tao.

Yes, Your Majesty.

His Majesty said he was tired from the hunt yesterday.

The emperor feels ill and won't come to hold court.

You can report your official business.

Your Majesty.

Xuan Ji, Chief of Imperial Astronomy, has something to report.

Speak.

Your Majesty.

Hunxiang Instrument is under construction.

But how to build its top has been pending for long.

I thought about it all day,

hoping to share the burden of you and His Majesty.

Finally, a few days ago, I found two rubies as big as a watermelon

under the plum tree on Zilang Mountain.

They are extremely rare.

It seems to be an act of providence.

Therefore, I have hundreds of skilled craftsmen

carve them and cover with gold threads

to put it atop Hunxiang Instrument.

Your Majesty, please appreciate it.
