[Decline]

[Episode 4]

Have you heard it?

The man who killed Li Zongzheng has been found.

Dayong City is finally at peace.

The Li Zongzheng family did many evil deeds.

I heard it was Li's housekeeper.

I thought they said it was Mr. Su.

Don't you find it strange?

Why would City Lord Zuo find
someone to take the fall for you?

Isn't that what he always does?

That's true.

Anyway, young master,

why do you rush back when you
haven't recovered from the poison yet?

You don't understand.

I miss Dayong City's white wine,

Dayong City's white boiled chicken,

and Dayong City's white magnolias.

I see.

What about the person I asked you to look for?

He arrived in Dayong City six days ago,

taking over Li Zongzheng's position,

and living in Three Estate.

This Lord Geng is quite bold to live there.

Help! Someone jumped into the river!

What's going on?

Hurry and save her!

Judging from the body,

it seems to reach a state of stiffness
and then begin to relieve.

According to what you said,

this person has been dead for several days.

But she jumped into the river
in front of people.

What's wrong? Step back!

If you dare to approach,

I'll throw you in jail.

Do you mean

approaching like this

or like this?

Are you looking for a beating?

According to the criminal law,

you have no authority

to interfere with things
outside the warning line.

You!

Look, there's something in the water!

It's human bones.

Run.

Oh my.

I forgot to check the almanac today.

I'm really in back luck.

This is not a good sign.

I want to see my old friend,

but the first to see the bones.

These bones don't look like

they've been soaked for long time,

but like they just got dropped in there.

How can you tell?

There's an algae in this river

that loves to live on shell rocks.

If the bones have been soaked for long time,

the algae will live on the bones.

But look at these bones,

there is no algae on them.

I see.

Make way, the City Lord is coming!

Young master.

City Lord Zuo is here.

But that guy, Sui Hanbai isn't here.

Manners! What do you mean by "that guy"?

It's that guy.

You gave him all the pills
and coughed up to this day.

Shut up!

Why are you so nagging?

It's just two pills.

You can nag for it for half a year.

What's going on? Didn't you tell me
that a woman jumped into the river?

Why are there so many

bones?

My Lord, one woman did jump
into the river this morning.

But when we fished out the woman's body,

many bones suddenly floated on the river.

Were the graves

somewhere washed away,

so the bones washed into the river?

Lord Zuo.

These bones look like

they were deliberately

sunk in the river.

Su Chengxi.

Greetings. It's been half a year.

You look more energetic.

You stay out of trouble.

Why are you everywhere?

No. I happened to be passing by.

I'm willing to help with

this case of bones.

No meddling is the greatest help.

Young master, it's been only half a year,

and your name is worth nothing.

Lord Zuo, Mr. Sui is here.

Mr. Sui has been reinstated?

Lord Zuo, I'll take care of this.

Now, the person in charge of Dayong City

is Commander Geng.

He is very strict

and assertive.

You must not take it lightly.

I understand.

Then I'll leave it to you.

Mr. Sui, how have you been recently?

Arrest anyone who approaches the bones.

Yes.

Who dares?

Arrest them now.

Wait.

[Token]

I have the Command Token of Imperial Division,
who dares to arrest me?

I'm Sui Hanbai, greetings.

Save it, Mr. Sui. You're quite polite.

Go investigate.

We almost got caught again.

Luckily, you stole this token.

Young master, you can't stand

that cold place right now.

After you're done, report back to me.

This is the real deal.

Whether it's real or not,
I advise you to leave Dayong City soon.

Now Dayong City

is under the jurisdiction
of the Imperial Division.

I really like seeing you

being serious.

So I'm not leaving.

Besides,

with this token,

I can stay wherever I want.

Whatever.

Sui Hanbai, thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow morning at Coffin home.

Young master, why are you being so nice to him?

He's so cold-hearted

and ungrateful.

You don't understand him.

How much do you understand?

He broke into the Zongzheng Mansion alone.

What do you think?

Did he do it?

Let's go, have a good rest.

We'll start the bones case tomorrow.

Young master, wait for me.

[Coffin Home]
Young master, I think Sui Hanbai won't come.

I'll walk you in.

I'll examine the body and report to you.

He'll come.

He's here.

Investigate the background of
the woman who jumped into the river.

See if she met anyone before jumping

then meet up with me.

Hanbai, good morning.

Stop, no trespassing is allowed.

Make way.

Su Chengxi, what do you want?

The Li Zongzheng case is over,

and you got your revenge.
Why are you still hanging around here?

Mr. Sui, I just want to investigate the case.

Right.

Now that I have this token,

so I can command you, right?

Let's get started then.

The state of the body suggests drowning.

But she's been dead two days.

I think it's weird too.

I saw her jump that day.

There's mud in her nostrils.

But I don't think this is mud from the river.

It seems there are two crime scenes.

There are obvious abrasions on her arm.

There are also impact marks
on the back of the head.

Weird.

There are ligature marks on her body,

but there was no rope when we fished her out.

This

doesn't look like a regular rope.

It's as thin as a fine thread.

She must have been dragged pretty hard.

Fine thread? Shouldn't a fine thread break

dragging a person?

How did it drag down a woman?

It should be like this.

This place is now under control by
Command Department of the Imperial Division.

Unauthorized personnel must leave immediately.

Whoever fails to do so should be punished.

Who are you?

Greetings, Commander Geng.

I am Sui Hanbai from Dayong City Yamen.

Imperial Division, Commander Geng.

Starting today, this case will be
taken over by the Imperial Division.

You two must leave immediately.

If you dare to trespass here again,
military law shall be applied.

My Lord, cases like this are usually
taken over by the government.

The affairs of the Imperial Division…

How dare you disobey military orders?

My Lord, don't be angry.
We're leaving right now.

Listen, strengthen the guard.

Whoever trespasses here

shall be killed.

Yes.

Both of you, here's your noodles.

Enjoy.

Su Chengxi,

do you know what happens when you steal tokens?

What?

You figured it out again and
wanted to lock me up, right?

If you steal, I'll catch you.

You really haven't changed at all.

I have a way to investigate
Coffin Home tomorrow.

Once the truth is clear,

the previous debt will be written off.

I promise to run far away and never come back.

By then,

I will return the token.

Okay, you'd leave right after tomorrow.

You're impartial

with no mercy.

I never keep my promises either.

Same here.

Delicious.

Stop.

Check.

The plague killed people two days ago,

I went to collect the bodies.

So stinky.

They're all dead bodies.

There's nothing to see.

Don't you mind the bad luck?

Forget it. Go.

Come on out. I'll watch you outside.

Don't forget to buy me
ten more jars of nice wine.

I'm going to nail you in there
if you don't get out now.

That day, we only examined the woman's body,

and haven't had time to examine the bones yet.

Take a quick look.

When you examined the woman's body yesterday,

you didn't do anything to her, did you?

Old man, you can't say so.

How can we examine the body
without touching it?

I didn't touch her feet though.

Old man,

you're quite curious about a lot of things.

I see the woman

looks pretty charming.

This old man Gu is weird.

What did you find?

According to the records of the Yamen,
these bones have similar heights,

with strong skeletons

and thick finger joints.

They should be people who
have practiced martial arts for many years.

The diet and climate
in the north and south are different.

People in the north are
taller than people in the south.

The leg bones are thick and firm.

Either they are soldiers,

or martial artists.

It's a thousand miles to the north.

How could their bones sink in the river?

Every single one of
Dayong soldiers is registered.

If so many soldiers suddenly disappear,

the local government would
definitely report it to the court.

So they are martial artists.

But not all southern soldiers are short.

Do you mean the Forbidden Army
or from the Imperial Division?

They are the elites

selected from all over the place,

so much stronger than the average soldiers.

Sir, you are on patrol?

Get out now.

Yes, I'm leaving right away.

Sir, there's nothing to see here,
it's haunted at night.

Alright, let's go. There are all dead bodies.

These soldiers are quite timid.

Come out.

Old man, here's the money
I promised you for the wine.

I want the wine, not the money.

You can buy with the money.

With such little money,

that's not even enough for my drink bill.

I'm telling you,

if you don't buy me wine,

I'll go tell Commander Geng.

- You!
- Of course we have to buy wine for you.

I'll go buy ten jars of nice wine now.

That's right.

Old man,

you seem quite interested

in that woman.

Nonsense.

What interest can I have in a dead person?

Old man, how did you hurt your leg?

This leg…

I drank too much and set the house on fire.

Strong liquor meets fire,

a joy in life.

I survived the disaster.

So I stay alive

to drink.

What's that sound?

I don't know.

So stupid, get in.

Wait for me.

Why are we coming back here?

I can't figure out the connection
between this woman and the bones.

I advise you to mind your own business

and keep your head.

Now go.

I'm not afraid, with you here with me,

you will definitely protect
innocent people like me.

Someone's coming.

Look, what is that old man doing?

He seems to be undressing the woman.

What a bad old man.

Wait, I don't think it's what you think.

An, let me get you some new clothes.

Looks like he's changing
the graveclothes for the woman.

Old man Gu, so it's you.

Officer, I just

check if there's anything valuable.

I'll share it with you.

Don't you mind the bad luck?
Hurry up and leave.

Leave. This Old man Gu.

Old man, what treasure did you just find?

Share with me.

Nonsense, I didn't take anything.

This is the evidence.

You can't take it.

What I see is mine.

Old man,

you combed her hair

and changed her clothes.

Do you know each other?

No, we don't know each other.

She looks like

my dead younger sister.

She was pitiful and no one claimed her body.

I took this jade pendant

as a reward for my kind deeds.

You are truly kind,

used graveclothes in exchange for
such a fine jade pendant.

This is the evidence. You're breaking the law.

Hurry up and leave.

The color and transparency
of this jade are extraordinary,

doesn't look like something
ordinary people can afford.

The bailiffs are decent.

They didn't secretly take this thing.

Cut the crap and give me the jade pendant.

Come find me early tomorrow.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be taking you.

Father.

There's still no news about the member
of Shen family and The Dusk?

I'm still investigating.

Don't think that I usually indulge you,

and now you can do whatever you want.

If there's no result in three days,

don't blame me for being ruthless.

You should get rid of
the bad habit of being so soft.

Listen, I won't give you

a second chance.

Yes.

[Cui's Jewelry Shop]

This is the last jewelry shop.

I didn't expect that no one could

recognize such a small jade pendant.

Why bother?

Offer a reward,

and someone will recognize it.

You are really skillful

and rich,

can afford a reward.

By the way,

what color is your wallet?

Let me see.

It's for the investigation.

Really.

What are you doing? Give it back to me.

Didn't you say you wanted to offer a reward?

As an ordinary person,

I can't afford that reward.

If we can't find out anything
about the jade pendent today,

I'll report you

to claim the reward.

Bai.

Looks like your temper

grows along with your intelligence.

[Pleadings Writer]

Hello, I'll rent your stall for half a day.

Alright, young master.

You stand there, don't peek.

I can't write it if you peek at me.

Turn around.

Reward.

For anyone who knows
anything about the jade pendant,

one tael of silver as a reward,

or one kiss from the gentleman

in black on the right.

Su Chengxi.

Can you be more serious?

My Lord, do you want to find an excuse

to expel Su Chengxi
and Sui Hanbai from the city?

Sui Hanbai is from the Dayong Mansion,

and is highly valued by Zuo Tangfeng.

As long as they don't cause trouble,

let them be.

Yes.

A bunch of nonsense.

[For anyone who knows anything about the jade pendant,]
[ten taels of silver as a reward.]

Stop.

Do you recognize this thing?

No, I don't.

You!

Come here and take a look.

You're crazy.

Bai, can you be a bit gentler?

Are you trying to scare people?

You'll do it.

Offer a reward for the murderer
is your job as a constable.

I won't do it.

Yue Xiaoqiao?

What?

You wait here.

Where are you going?

You're too naive to catch me.

You girl, how dare you say so?

I think you should return my stuff back.

This is called reciprocity.

You had me and Bai all fooled that day,

now I repay evil with virtue,

letting you sleep in Bai's bed.

I'm really a well-doer.

Is Bai

still standing by the road?

You're still here this late?

It's my principle to finish what I start,

and be true to the promise.

You told me to wait for you here,

and I will wait until you come back.

Sui Hanbai,

I've always wanted to ask you.

If one day, you and I
do have to fight each other,

will you really slash me with your sword?

I will kill you if you have to die
according to the law.

Ruthless.

I helped you solve cases,

yet you're always thinking of killing me.

Is it because Lord Zuo
doesn't want to pay me a reward?

Of course not.

This jade pendant…

Do you recognize this thing?
