Where is the traitor?

Hanging at Father.

The market entrance.

Father.

Who is the traitor?

Father.

Either a pig or a dog.

Father.

Where is the traitor?

Mr. Lan, you must settle your mind.

Who is...

- Father. - The traitor?

Either a pig or a dog.

Where is the traitor?

Hanging at the market entrance.

Father.

You're not a traitor.

Who is the traitor?

Either a pig or a dog.

Father. Father.

Mr. Lan. Mr. Lan.

Sir.

Orchid.

Orchid.

Mr. Lan. Mr. Lan.

Jue.

Do you know why did I give you this name?

The gentlemen of flowers remain faithful.

This is Lan, meaning orchid.

The sound of jade hitting each other is clear.

This is Jue, meaning jade.

You want me to be a gentleman of high moral character.

What characters should a gentleman hold?

I forgot it.

You forgot it?

How dare you forget it?

How dare you?

Did you forget it?

Did you?

I still remember. I still remember.

A gentleman's actions must be justified.

A gentleman's speech...

Must be reasonable.

A gentleman's pursuit must be righteous.

A gentleman's

behavior must be upright.

Great.

Mr. Lan.

It's best not to stay here for too long.

You have overcome the demon inside your heart.

Can you recall

the scene back then?

Yes.

To lead a country capable of dispatching thousands of troops,

one should be cautious and single-minded in dealing with affairs,

and also keep one's word.

That day, my father and the exotic woman

seemed to have a secret matter to discuss.

I happened to be studying in the courtyard.

Mr. Lan, when will you leave?

The sooner the better.

Every day of delay means more risk.

At that time, I heard from my father

that he was going to leave home.

Out of curiosity, I looked towards the study.

But only a quick glance.

Afterwards, I recalled it countless times,

but I couldn't remember the figure and appearance of that woman.

Sir.

Now carefully recall

the woman's appearance, figure and dress.

Thank you, Mr. Lan.

Who's that?

Sir.

What did you see?

Come on. Get me a brush pen and paper.

Yes, sir.

A League of Nobleman

Episode 11

What is this?

She wore a pottery accessory on her chest,

which was simple in style.

But I only saw its outline.

It's like a whistle.

How do you know?

I seem to have seen it somewhere.

It looks familiar.

Give me the pen.

Are you okay?

Don't worry, Mr. Lan.

I'll be fine after sleeping for a while.

Done.

So weird.

I can't even remember this accessory.

But you restored it so completely.

Maybe I've seen it in a book.

I'd check it out later.

Its pattern is simple and mysterious.

Print a few copies

and send someone to check in the South.

See if it is related to Moluo Village.

I'll be on it.

Zhang Ping, today...

Xu Dong.

Move the orchid next to his pillow.

Sir, orchid only has the effect of calming the nerves for you.

It may not be useful to others.

Better to fall asleep with the scent of flowers than nothing.

Take it as a consolation.

Yes.

Sir. I often look after this orchid,

and I have smelled it thousands of times.

I didn't find anything special about it.

I didn't expect it to work for Zhang Ping as well.

[Hanhui Pavilion]

[Detective Noodle]

Zhang.

Why don't you rest in Mr. Lan's mansion for a few more days?

I'm fine.

It's weird.

You didn't have a nightmare this time,

and recovered after a peaceful sleep.

I also find it strange.

Nectarines.

Sir, my nectarines are very fresh.

How much is it?

One penny for each.

It's sour.

I also have persimmons.

Take a try.

Miss. Hot wontons.

Take a try.

Are you Detective Noodle?

Yes. He's the famous Detective Noodle.

Sir. If you have any questions, order a portion of noodles

and let's chat while eating.

Plain noodles with a soft-boiled egg.

Sure.

You just come here out of curiosity,

so you don't need to order noodles.

How do you know that I'm here out of curiosity

but not for your noodles?

You buy everything along the way.

It shows that you are rich.

If you came here out of curiosity

and take a bite and spit it out,

why should I cook for you?

Zhang Ping. He has already ordered the noodles.

Just cook for him. Why don't you satisfy him?

No. I don't serve people who waste food.

Why do you think all the rich waste food?

It doesn't make sense.

I just want to eat noodles.

Step aside. If you don't cook for me, I'd do it myself.

Sir.

Step aside.

This way, it won't stick on the knife.

- Let me make another one for you. - No need.

The noodles don't taste good.

But the soft-boiled egg is perfect.

I ate the noodles sincerely.

And I didn't waste food.

May I ask you a question?

Why are your noodles cheaper than others?

Is there any trick?

Not really.

The flour is collected by myself from farmers.

Seasonal freshly ground flour

is five pennies cheaper per catty than those in grain stores.

This saves a penny per portion of noodles.

As for the eggs... I helped Granny Liu make a chicken coop.

So she sells me eggs cheaper than others.

- Interesting. - What's interesting?

You.

I misread you at first.

I thought you were just pretending to be noble in order to gain attention.

So did I.

I just saw you spit it out after taking a bite of a nectarine,

and I thought you are a fop.

So I refused to cook noodles for you.

Because of the heavy rain this year,

the quality of the nectarines is poor.

I took a bite and found the nectarine core was rotten.

So I threw it away.

However, no discord, no concord.

Now we are friends.

My name is Qi Zhu. Qi means lush and soothing.

Zhu means scarlet.

My name is Zhang Ping.

Sir. It's been late.

We have to go home.

Zhang Ping. See you.

Freshly picked nectarines.

Nectarines.

Zhang Ping.

Although I am not as good as you at cooking noodles,

not necessarily so with other things.

Let's compete again next time.

[Hanhui Pavilion, Ning'an]

What an unusual man.

Qi Zhu.

[Hanhui Pavilion, Ning'an]

Which of you two is Zhang Ping?

Him. He is.

Sir. What do you want me for?

What do you want me for?

I'm the secretary of Court of Judicial Review.

Mr. Tao wants to see you.

Zhang, it's Court of Judicial Review.

Pack your things up and come with me.

Hurry up.

Go.

Go! It's Court of Judicial Review.

[Court of Judicial Review]

[Court of Judicial Review]

Here is Court of Judicial Review.

Let's go.

♪ A dull purple ♪

♪ A beautiful yellow ♪ [Silence]

Mr. Tao. Here comes Zhang Ping.

Stand still.

Excuse me.

Mr. Tao. What can I do for you?

Hush.

Here you are.

Mr. Tao.

- You know about the recruitment of Court of Judicial Review, right? - Yes.

I called you here today to ask you to work for the Court of Judicial Review.

Although you have no fame,

you are already the well-known Detective Noodle.

With your help,

the Court of Judicial Review may be revived.

I am willing to!

No worries.

By the way, Mr. Tao, I've always had a question for you.

Say it.

Did Mu Yesheng really work in the Court of Judicial Review before?

What is his real name? Where is he now?

You mean the one who wrote Strange Night Talk?

Yes.

The folk tales are all fabricated indiscriminately.

I've never heard of him in the Court of Judicial Review.

Yes.

But the Court of Judicial Review

and those cases in the book... are so real.

If he hadn't experienced them himself,

how could he be so clear about the details?

I have been an officer of the Court of Judicial Review for decades.

If there is such a person,

how can I not know at all?

You don't have to be disappointed.

Let the secretary take you to the case archive first.

Let's go.

Zhang Ping. Your background must be powerful.

Listen. There are many people who want to work here.

Even the nephew of the Minister of Works was not chosen.

Come on.

Let's go.

Here is the case archive.

You will work here from now on.

Here is the case archive?

Yes.

This is the key to the case archive.

This is your token for temporary access

to enter and exit the palace.

All right.

- Please be at your convenience. - Hold on.

Please tell me what are the old cases, difficult cases

or unresolved unjust cases

that should be urgently dealt with.

It is convenient for my induction and reorganization.

Zhang Ping.

Do you know what you should do for the case archive?

Of course, it is to sort out the files and help solve the cases.

I know.

I think you may have misunderstood.

Helpers are here

to clean up.

What a mess.

This should be the lotus jar of the headless corpse case.

The case was unsolved for a long time.

Mu Yesheng sat by this jar overnight,

and it occurred to him that

the head of the deceased was hidden in it.

Isn't this the place where Mu Yesheng studied mysterious cases?

Exactly as written in the book.

All this is certainly not fabricated.

20 years ago,

Mu Yesheng must be working in the Court of Judicial Review.

It is a pity that

I wasn't born 20 years earlier.

But at least

I can follow in the footsteps of Mu Yesheng in the Court of Judicial Review.

[Resurrection from the Grave]

Mu Yesheng, I finally saw... [Strange Night Talk]

the Court of Judicial Review you described in Strange Night Talk.

I will clean up the table of yours.

I will continue to investigate

the mysterious cases that you had no time to solve.

[Imperial City, Immortal Instrument construction site]

Why is it so windy?

Don't blow the Phoenix up.

My gosh.

Phoenix cries blood.

What an ill omen.

There would definitely be bloodshed.

My gosh.

[Court of Judicial Review]

Mr. Tao.

Your bird is the best in the whole capital.

Look at you.

Mr. Tao.

In the past few days, I have sorted out all the files in the case archive.

Good.

These are the new clues sorted out from the unsolved cases.

These are misjudged old cases.

Please take a look.

You deserve to be Detective Noodle.

You are observant and thoughtful.

The younger generation will surpass the older.

I will take a closer look.

When are you going to investigate these cases?

If you don't have enough people, I can...

Young man.

Don't rush into anything.

These cases... are backlogged for a long time.

To restart the investigation, a long-term plan is needed.

Clean up the case archive first.

It's done.

- These files— - They are also sorted into categories.

You can walk in the courtyard and enjoy the flowers.

Sir, let me help solve the cases.

Zhang Ping.

Come here.

I understand your enthusiasm for serving the Court of Judicial Review.

But you have worked hard to sort out the files in the past few days.

I really can't bear to make you work too hard.

Why don't you take a day off today and take a good rest at home?

Sir, I don't need a rest. All I need is...

Why are you so polite?

Listen. It's a deal.

Go. Go. Go.

Mr. Tao.

Mr. Tao.

[Mature vinegar]

Mr. Ma.

What happened?

I'm fine.

I heard you worked two jobs at the Immortal Instrument site.

You both wash the dishes and do the clean up.

Are you tired?

I'm fine.

Just stop asking.

Mr. Ma. What about visiting my house?

Let's go.

Here.

Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma.

You said earlier that the letter would arrive on the 15th.

But it's 24th today.

Right.

It has been delayed for so many days,

and there is no movement until now.

Something must have happened to Ziyi.

Mr. Ma, no worries.

Perhaps the courier was delayed on the way.

I thought the same way before.

But a few days ago when I went to the construction site,

I saw Immortal Instrument's golden phoenix shedding bloody tears.

Phoenix crying blood is an ominous sign.

I think this must be God reminding me that Ziyi

will experience bloodshed.

This phoenix is man-made.

It won't cry blood, let alone herald bad omens.

It must be too dark, and you didn't see clearly.

You are too young to understand.

It's serious.

Phoenix crying blood?

Pass.

All right.

Your token.

Court of Judicial Review.

- Okay. - Pass.

Token.

Hold on.

- Slow down. - Okay.

Take it there.

A few more here.

Coming.

- A few more here. - Right.

- Okay. - Much harder.

Done, okay.

- One, two. - Much harder.

Go.

Move to the right side.

Sure.

All right.

- Put it here. - Okay.

Slow down.

Where are my clothes?

I... I didn't see your clothes.

They're supposed to be here. Did you take them away?

Why should I do this?

Sorry.

Stop.

After going up, tell the captain to change shifts at three o'clock in the afternoon.

- Alright. - Is it alright?

Sure.

- Okay. - Hard work for you.

[Uneven color]

[Traces of stitching]

- Hurry up. - Alright.

Speed up.

You will suffer if the construction period is delayed.

Man, come here.

- What? - Come here.

Is this the Empress Dowager's phoenix head?

Look at what you asked.

Of course.

I mean is this the phoenix head made of pure gold

by the Empress Dowager's order with rubies from Lingnan District as the eyes?

Of course.

There's something wrong with it.
