Original subtitles

A secret buyer asked Chang Wei to steal the phoenix head.

Do you not know him, too?

Someone asked Chang Wei to steal it?

Is it him?

The survivor of Moluo Village.

Is he back for revenge?

It must be him.

He's back for revenge.

There's a survivor?

Hiding in the shadow, he did witchcraft.

The entire Sacred Lake was bubbling.

It was witchcraft.

What's going on here?

Mr. Xuan, it's witchcraft. Witchcraft!

Run!

Run!

Mr. Lan, this is true.

So, up to now, I still can't stand the whistling sound. You know that.

Whistling sound?

Have you seen this whistle before?

This whistle...

I saw it before.

It's what Moluo Clansmen always carry.

And their badge is on it.

That year,

to deal with Moluo Clansmen,

I collected many things related.

The badge is one of them.

The evidence is...

in that wooden box.

Mr. Lan,

I'm sorry for your father.

But what's done is done.

I begged your father not to tell on me.

He promised me.

Shut up!

You coward!

Yes, I am.

So, over all these years,

I never dared to tell you the truth.

But I'm not to blame alone.

You should blame Moluo Clansmen and their witchcraft.

Your father and I are victims!

You keep saying they can do witchcraft.

What witchcraft?

And how did they get the intel?

Witchcraft...

Witchcraft...

It can read minds.

Once someone is tricked, he can't keep any secret.

Your father was honest and incorruptible.

Why did he suddenly do treason?

And he confessed it personally.

He must have been bewitched.

Does that witchcraft have something to do with this?

This is it.

How did you get it?

It's the witch's water vessel.

I don't know.

I'm an orphan.

When my master found me, it was beside me.

Can you be the witch's son?

When she was in the Capital City,

she took a boy two or three years old.

If he's still alive, he'll be of your age.

I can't be.

I can't be.

It must be you!

When we tracked down to Moluo Village,

the witch seemed to sense something.

So, overnight, she ran away with that boy and her water vessel.

But when we caught up, she was all alone.

The water vessel was gone.

She must have hidden the boy and the water vessel.

No way.

How can you say I'm her son just because I have a water vessel?

Maybe...

Then why can you draw this badge?

I'm telling the truth.

The water vessel is evil.

When you gently strike, it makes a wicked buzz.

And the water ripples.

If you hear or see it, you'll be hypnotized.

That's how they tricked your father to the South.

You want to avenge your father, huh?

Your enemy is right here.

You and I have a common enemy!

Who?

Don't kill me!

Don't kill me!

Don't let Xuan Ji run away.

Mr. Lan...

Go save Xuan Ji.

Open the door!

Xuan Ji can't be dead now. Wait.

Open the door.

Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji!

When Chu Qi'er was performing,

did you feel uncomfortable?

Sorry.

In the crime scenes of Chang Wei and Embalmer, I saw you.

Who on earth are you?

If you're from Moluo Clan, could you tell me what exactly happened that year?

Don't die.

[Heaven, Lake, Thunder, Fire, Earth, Mountain, Water, Wind]

Looks like Xuan Ji restarted the mechanism after he was stabbed.

So, the killer was shot to death.

I came out too late.

Mr. Lan...

A League of Nobleman

Episode 15

Mr. Lan.

What happened, Mr. Lan?

Come on.

Mr. Lan.

Do you feel any better?

Where's Xuan Ji?

Mr. Lan.

Mr. Lan.

- Mr. Lan! - Mr. Lan!

Mr. Lan!

Calm down, Mr. Lan. Calm down!

You failed to save him?

I was late.

But I found this.

You should have let me die there, too!

Mr. Lan, you would have no hope unless you live!

Xuan Ji was my last hope!

We can find other clues!

- I vowed in front of your father's tablet... - Shut up!

Mr. Lan...

My father died of a false charge

- just because... - Are you saying

you and I are enemies?

If killing me can vent your hate,

just do it.

Our association is now over.

Run for your life.

Fine.

Mr. Lan, take care.

Mr. Lan, he's so badly wounded.

Why didn't you protect yourself?

You nearly lost your life for the case.

How miserable!

Xuan Ji can't just die in vain.

I'll imitate his handwriting and write an apology letter

to make the truth of my father's case known to the public.

Here are Xuan Ji's manuscripts and private seals.

But Mr. Lan, you're faking some evidence.

Leave me.

I'll practice writing.

It's the fake evidence, but it's still true.

I must reveal my father's innocence to the whole world.

Mr. Lan,

I haven't figured out what on earth happened that year.

And I'm not sure whether you were good or evil.

But I'll try my best to find out the truth.

Zhang, where are you going?

To see my master in my hometown.

But the Imperial Exam is coming.

Do you not want to work in the Court of Judicial Review?

If I don't know the truth, what's the point of working there?

[Yuntou Mountain, Xichuan County]

You'll imitate Xuan Ji's handwriting to fake a letter?

I'll write an apology letter in his tone.

Then Her Majesty and His Majesty would believe that Xuan Ji confessed everything

when forced by the killer before he died.

But Peizhi, this is deceiving His Majesty.

Deceiving His Majesty?

It's not the first time, anyway.

I framed Guo Yun and Gong Yuzhen.

And now, I'm doing it for my father.

But before, you dealt with your rivals in the court.

This time,

innocent people would be involved.

Can you really do that?

I'll try hard not to hurt innocent people.

Including Zhang Ping?

It's natural that he pays her mother's debts!

Don't you know he was only a boy at that time?

How could you let him...

I've made up my mind.

If you're still my close friend, stop persuading me.

In ten days, come get the apology letter.

Why do I always fail to imitate Xuan Ji's handwriting?

[I heard Your Majesty was so kind that alien races came...]

Since when did we have a cat?

Maybe it's a stray cat.

[I heard Your Majesty was so kind that alien races came...]

Get the cat out!

Yes.

Cat food?

The cat came for the food, I guess.

Isn't it the vessel Zhang Ping brought here?

Did he even feed a stray cat here?

Dump it immediately in case Mr. Lan sees it.

Sure.

Search carefully.

Mr. Lan, we can't find the cat anywhere.

Is it so hard to imitate my handwriting?

When you framed Guo Yun, you imitated his handwriting easily.

Do you know why you fail this time?

Why?

Because you aren't merciless enough or unscrupulous enough.

You're not as fierce as me yet.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Master, I...

Listen, listen.

Listen.

I still have hiccups.

I won a lot in gambling the other day.

Sun must have been jealous and he adulterated my wine with water.

Master, I have something to ask you.

Come on.

Let me change your dressing.

Sit.

Look at you.

How did you get so badly wounded?

When you traveled alone, you should have been careful.

Master, I...

Master...

Who will ask first, you or me?

I want to know my origin.

In the Capital City, you were badly slashed.

For whom?

A young man like you shouldn't always be impetuous.

Shouldn't always be impetuous.

What did I tell you?

When you recover, you'll calm down.

Stay at home for recovery.

Sir.

Get out!

Are you done writing the letter?

Kill all people in Yong Kingdom.

Good job.

People will know Moluo Clansmen had dark intentions.

Now that I decide to fake some evidence,

I must do it perfectly.

You made some progress.

Now you can try imitating my handwriting.

[Envoy]

[Envoy]

Sir, are you all right?

Look.

Zhang Ping put the cat food everywhere.

Mr. Lan has been away for three days.

I wonder where he has gone.

Yeah.

Before, Mr. Lan never hid anything from us.

Mr. Lan is back.

Mr. Lan.

Prepare some water

for my bath.

You were away for three days.

Have you found a witness?

I got an old posthouse attendant to testify

that 20 years ago, he saw a witch hypnotize my father with witchcraft.

But who knew the witch?

At that time, she carried a token of the Department of Incantation.

He just promised to help you?

Giving fake testimony is a horrible felony.

In any case,

money talks.

You're getting more like me.

Now you can do my handwriting, huh?

[Testimony]

We have a witness and material evidence.

Now, all we need is Xuan Ji's apology letter.

[Testimony]

Covered this secret by poisoning Moluo Clansmen...

The scholar from Xichuan County...

Will you really write down his name?
