[The Ingenious One]

[Episode 29: A Mysterious Situation]

How much did you drink?

You won't leave me alone.

Why are you still messing with me?

Tell me. Why did you come?

Go away!

I'm here to tell you something serious.

How much did you drink?

For so long,

I've confirmed an answer that I had long suspected.

From the beginning,

it was your plan to show up

at the gambling house in Baiju Town, right?

When Mr. Wen was imprisoned

at the salt mine prison,

I knew someone from Yuntai

would rescue him.

Then, you showed up

in Yan Luowang's study room.

It was too coincidental.

It's hard not to be suspicious.

But it's strange.

The heart changes with time.

I don't know when

I started to convince myself.

I have to trust you.

But I know

everything you asked me to do

meant you were using me

to help you get rid of your dissidents.

If I'm not mistaken,

there's some internal conflict in Lingyuan.

So you came to me

because you want to use me to kill someone.

Since you've seen through it all,

why didn't you ask me to leave?

What do you think?

Actually, I really want to know

if you hadn't met me

at the gambling house in Baiju Town,

and met my fellows,

would it be the same for you?

Yun Xiang.

I never meant to harm you.

I believe you.

You lied to me and used me,

but you never hurt me.

Do you know that day

when you left without saying goodbye,

I was very in pain?

But later I realized

that you have been

this clean and sharp.

Hand up and knife down in an instant.

You are never indecisive.

That's what I like about you.

That's you.

Stop talking about it.

It's meaningless.

I'm here today to tell you something important.

It's meaningless to you.

It's meaningful to me.

Tell me.

You've been with me for so long.

Have you been acting all along?

You've been pretending.

You never really liked me.

What's the problem in Lingyuan Sect?

Tell me what's going on.

I'll take care of it for you.

I hope when everything is back to normal,

you can come back to me.

OK?

I really can't.

What do you mean?

If you broke Lingyuan Sect's rules,

I'll help you get out it.

If anyone is targeting you,

I can help you get rid of him.

As long as our hearts are together,

we can solve everything.

We can overcome all difficulties.

Just like you came here tonight.

Aren't you worried

someone from Lingyyuan is following you?

I won't be here if I'm scared.

That's right.

This is the Shu Yanan I know.

You're wrong.

My name is Kou Lianyi.

Lingyuan Sect's Madam Kou gave birth to a son and a daughter.

Her son's name is Kou Yuanjie.

Her daughter's name is Kou Lianyi.

So what?

The eldest daughter of the Lingyuan Sect's master.

Let's start over, okay?

I shoulder the responsibility for the hundred-year foundation of Lingyuan Sect,

and the Kou family who are in danger.

I need to listen to Mother.

But fate played a trick on me.

I wanted to use you to confront someone.

Mother now wants us to form an ally against you.

This is what I wanted to tell you today.

From now on,

I'm your enemy.

Forget about Shu Yanan.

That wasn't me.

Then why are you wearing the hairpin I gave you?

He is not weaker than you are.

Be careful

[Guanghui Bank]

Who?

In the middle of the night?

Are you moving your graves?

What are you doing?

Be careful.

They were still open during the day.

When was it sold?

It's really ridiculous.

Hello, Mr. Mo.

Who are you?

I'm nobody.

What an honour.

Please call me Mr. Nangong.

Did you do this?

I was in a hurry to open a shop tomorrow,

so I had no choice but to build it overnight.

If I'm disturbing you,

I'm very sorry.

You're not from Nandu, right?

You're sharp, Mr. Mo.

I just arrived in Nandu.

I heard this is a good place.

I want to get some luck

by being next to Guanghui Bank.

You have good taste.

What kind of business are you going to do?

Opening a bank.

[Dafeng Bank]

[Dafeng Bank]

Hurry up!

Let's go.

So many people.

What are you doing?

Get to work.

Uncle.

Have some tea to calm down.

What tea? Why calm down?

We have been open for four hours.

There were only few people here.

No one would deposit money every day.

It's not surprising that we don't have business for half a day.

Here.

You know to turn a blind eye, right.

Follow me.

Look.

You're talking nonsense during the day. Look.

Why are do they have so many people there?

It's their Opening Day today.

They must hire someone to support the scene.

Let's take a look.

Sir,

what are you doing here?

I'm making a deposit. Obviously.

Guanghui Bank is on the opposite side.

Why do you have to wait here?

Haven't you heard about it?

Stop asking.

Go back home and get the money.

Deposit it here.

The owner of Dafeng Bank

came from Yangzhou.

He said he wanted to make friends with the people of Nandu.

Within three days,

anyone who deposits money in his bank

after three-month fixed term

will receive ten per cent of interest.

I've never heard of

receiving ten per cent of interest.

Since ancient times,

it's a huge benefit for banks to not charge handling fees.

How can you give out the interest?

It's up to you to believe it or not.

Lady Yanan, please don't worry.

Mo Bufan will accept the challenge.

How is he doing business?

We do business for money.

He's obviously targeting me.

What's happening lately?

It's so hard to live a peaceful life.

At this rate,

all of the money in our bank will be withdrawn,

and moved to his bank.

Yeah.

Take out all the money and keep it in his.

Let's see if he can accept it.

To confront Yun Xiang,

you have to deal with Su Mingyu and Mo Bufan.

It’s reasonable

to start with Guanghui Bank.

But Mo Bufan is very sophisticated.

I'm afraid he won't take the bait so easily.

Lady Yanan.

I've never failed

if I take action personally.

If he finds out,

he'll ask the customers to come to us

and withdraw their money.

Then we will...

He clearly has ill intentions.

Should I...

I stay here

and wait for it to happen?

Why don't we discuss it with Mr. Yun?

What? Do you have a backup plan?

I can't tell you.

I heard that Lady Yanan

had a great conversation with Mr. Yun last night.

If you accidentally leak the news,

I'll be in vain.

I had my reasons to see him.

Mr. Nangong, please don't worry.

The priority is about the interest of Lingyuan Sect.

Since I was ordered to assist you,

I will devote myself to it.

You're clearly enemies,

but you still wanted to meet him.

So affectionate.

I'm so jealous.

Don't be bitter.

I always speak in this manner.

Please forgive me.

That day, you said you came for the silk royal merchant

But even if we defeat Mo Bufan,

the foundation of the Su family won't be affected at all.

Don’t worry.

Right now,

the Su family

is already in danger.

In the name of the Emperor, the imperial edict says

Su Mingyu, the chairman of Nandu Chamber of Commerce,

delayed the capital tribute

and then lost it.

Here.

From now on,

the Su family's silk merchant procurement certificate

will be suspended immediately.

We will evaluate the best textile mill in Nandu

and recruit the royal merchants again

to deliver the royal tribute.

The end of the announcement.

It is my honor to accept it.

Mingyu, come.

Mingyu.

I know

this time,

you were wronged.

I wonder

who provoked His Majesty.

Actually beforehand,

I even submitted a statement

to plead for you.

But

I can't disobey His Majesty's order.

Don't blame me.

Uncle Liu,

what are you talking about?

His Majesty has shown mercy

by giving the Su family a chance

to compete again in the future.

You didn't know.

Actually, there are

two edicts.

Mr. Yun.

Mr. Yun!

Mr. Yun!

What's wrong?

Something happened to Mingyu.

It happened.

In the name of the Emperor, the imperial edict says

Su Mingyu, Chairman of Nandu Chamber of Commerce,

has recently neglected his duty.

You merchants were engaged in farming,

only making profit.

The imperial court was generous enough

to allow the convenience of trade.

[Nandu Chamber of Commerce]

You weren't grateful and content at all,

and colluded with the Chamber of Commerce.

causing the silk price in Nandu to skyrocket.

The people are complaining.

Therefore,

From today onwards, the Nandu Chamber of Commerce will be closed down

as a warning to others.

[May 30, 1941, Tianqing]

The end of the announcement.

Don't be afraid.

Even if you want to start over,

I'll be with you.

Mingyu,

you're so calm.

I didn't expect you to be so calm.

But

the current crisis

can't be resolved

by us comforting each other.

But this is His Majesty's edict.

How else can we solve it?

Two imperial edicts in a row

have affected the foundation of the Su family.

But have you ever thought

of the third

and fourth imperial edict?

What should we do then?

You mean...

someone is targeting the Su family?

Only government officials can ask

His Majesty to issue the imperial edict.

But we're in business.

We focus on harmony and wealth.

Especially the Su family

has been carefully

maintaining the relationship with the government.

Mr. Yun, in this case,

is there anyone who's suspicious?

Manager Ke

please take a break from work

for the time being,

and spend more time with Mingyu.

I'll investigate it now.

I'll let you know if there's any news.

His name is Nangong Fang.

He is not weaker than you are.

Be careful.

Yun Xiang.

From the Su family?

You know about it?

I can’t help you

on the Su family matter.

I have an urgent matter to solve.

A bank was built overnight

right accross Guanghui Bank.

He came with ill intentions.

He's very aggressive.

The owner of the bank is Nangong Fang.

Have you seem him?

I saw him once.

He has a hidden knife behind his smile.

He's not an ordinary person.

I asked someone to investigate him.

He may be living behind the scenes,

but he’s one of the richest businessmen in Yangzhou.

In this case, he must be the one

copying Yuntai's approach in Yingyuan.

That's him.

Now you, Mingyu and I

are the top alliance in Nandu.

But overnight,

both families suffered greatly.

Is this just a coincidence?

No.

No matter how capable Nangong Fang is,

can he use the imperial edict to confront the Su family?

What if that’s the case?

The situation is unclear.

If we act rashly,

it will only cause more trouble to ourselves.

Let's wait and see.

No, this is serious.

I must report it to Master.

[Guanghui Bank]

Uncle, you're finally back.

I was looking for you.

We have a guest,

who have been waiting for you until this time.

What guest?

Can't you do business without me?

From across the sea.

That's a large sum.

No wonder you came in person.

When will the fortune arrive?

The day after tomorrow.

Three days from now at the latest.

As usual,

trade it in for food, weapons and medicine.

Launder the rest

and put them on my account.

Sure, as usual.

I'll take ten percent of the profit.

For half a year.

I promise your money...

Guan,

do you want to launder it faster or slower?

What?

Do you have a faster way?

I do have a faster way now.

But let me be clear.

It's risky to lose money.

Tell me.

A new bank opened.

Ten per cent of interest back for all deposit.

What is he up to?

He's giving back ten per cent of interest.

It's the Dafeng Bank across the street.

But I don't know what the risks are.

He dares to do business like that

because he knew his competitor would take advantage of him.

To be suspicious of each other.

It depends on who's right on the timing.

That means

we might lose all of it.

It's still on me if you lose money.

You brat.

You want to use me to do business.

How about this?

I'll pay for the loss.

Give me two years. There won't be any interest.

I'll pay you back all of the sum.

But I'll get the ten per cent profit.

Nonsense!

What's in it for me?

Within ten days,

Within ten days,

I promise I’ll get all your money

clean and refreshed.

Deal.

Deal.

OK.

We'll pick up the goods at the same place the day after tomorrow.

Mr. Xiang,

we finally meet.

It's late at night.

I don't know if you're a friend or foe.

Please tell me your name.

There are so many people in this world.

It doesn't have to be either friend or foe.

Why don't you make a guess, Mr. Yun?

Not enemies.

We are sort of.

Are you here to take my life?

It depends on you.

In that case,

I'm quite sure.

Are you from Lingyuan Sect?

It seems that you have an intention.

Otherwise, you would've took out the dagger.

You are really smart.

No wonder my sister was attracted to you.

Lingyuan Sect's master gave birth to a son and a daughter.

The son's name is Kou Yuanjie.

Nice to meet you, Mr Kou.

You're such a talent.

With a few tactics,

plenty of girls will fall for you.

Why did you mess with Lingyuan's people?

If my sister hadn't protected you,

I would have killed you long ago.

But now even if I didn't do it,

you'd be in great trouble.

I'm the only one who can save you.

Since that's the case,

Mr Kou, why don't you cut to the chase?

Are you causing chaos in Nandu

because of Wen Cong?

Nangong Fang is the instigator.

You don't have to tell me about it.

I'm not only talking about Wen Cong being set up.

Their real grudge

could be traced back to 15 years ago.

Back then, it was Nangong Fang who secretly caused

Wen Cong to lose control of Nandu's business sector.

They are huge enemies.

Getting rid of him

will be very beneficial to you.

It does more good than harm to Yuntai.

My father met an unknown guest.

I'm afraid it's a name

we both don't want to hear.

It's called

Lingyuan.

In that case,

Nangong Fang planned the east-coast land purchase case.

Exactly.

Your sister wanted to use me to restrain Nangong Fang.

But why didn't she

mention this past to me?

15 years ago, how could

my sister and I get involved in Lingyuan Sect?

Besides, she has never had

an ambition since she was young.

She never cared about the affairs in Lingyuan.

And even if she knows,

she might not tell you.

Why?

How could she have the courage like a tough man?

She used you

to restrain Nangong Fang.

How could she have the guts to tell you the conflicts in Lingyuan,

let alone deciding to get rid of Nangong Fang?

Get rid of Nangong Fang?

Do you have the determination?

I've said a lot,

but I don't know if you are capable of going against him.

Yun Xiang,

if we don't form an alliance,

you will die tonight.

Getting rid of Nangong Fang.

I can complete it by tomorrow.

Really?

Didn't your sister tell you

I never broke my promise?

Since we want to form an alliance,

I hope you can answer two questions.

First,

what is Nangong Fang's background?

Second,

your sister wanted to restrain him.

Why would she join hands with him

to confront me?

How can I explain it in a few words?

Take your time. I want to know.

So you mean

there's remaining evil power of Lingyuan in Nandu?

Yes.

As soon as I got the news,

I went to the government office to find Mr. Shao.

I came here hastily

as soon as I knew you visited Your Highness.

Do you have any evidence?

No.

Ridiculous.

If they randomly testify like you,

wouldn't that be...

Mr. Shao,

Mr. Yun has played a crucial role

in the water ghost robbery case.

But there's one thing I don't understand.

Why are you trying so hard

to go after these rebels of Lingyuan?

Lingyuan's people are outrageous.

They show disregard for the law.

If we can get rid of this group of people

by ourselves,

we can bring peace to the people of Nandu.

Isn't this what Your Highness, Magistrate Shao

and Prince Fu want to see?

Indeed.

If Father knows the rebels of Lingyuan

is still secretly hiding in Nandu,

he would investigate it thoroughly as well.

But you have no evidence.

How can I trust you?

I don't have solid evidence yet,

I've already set up a bait.

This can't be delayed.

Would you like to arrest the suspect

with me?

What exactly is the bait?

Someone asked me to save you.

It's Kou Yuanjie.

He's back.

That's right.

I might be using you.

You're not afraid of death.

I'm giving you a chance to live.

Don't tell me you don't want it.

He's been waiting for you.

He asked you to wear this cloak.

I only bribed the guards.

The rest is up to you.

[Shao's Residence]

Keep the meat away

so that he won't eat too much again.

You should leave a space in the center.

It's for the drunken crab.

It's Father's favorite.

Yes, Your Highness.

By the way,

the wine is a bit cold.

Father has a poor stomach.

He needs to drink something warm.

Yes, Your Highness.

I’m very sorry.

-I smashed the dish in her hand.
-I’m very sorry.

Prince Fu is here.

Mingzhu.

Mingzhu.

Where is she?

Mingzhu.

All right, get up.

No need for courtesy.

Get up.

[Prince Fu]

Father.

My daughter, come here.

Let me see if you've changed.

Father.

You finally came to see me.

Really?

Who wrote a fake letter

and sneaked away?

I'm fine,

other than missing you.

Okay.

Only Gongquan can grant you full autonomy

and take you to solve cases.

Share with me when you have time.

What trouble did you get into?

Father.

You know better than me about

what I did in Nandu.

You don't need me to tell you.

But I can tell you

about my progress recently.

It's great that you made progress.

I won't let you go until you finish.

What's going on?

Look.

Father, your favorite drunken crab.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

It's all my fault.

Enough.

Don't think that the Prince

is as harsh as you think.

Right, Father?

Yes. Get up.

It's okay.

Get up.

Get up.

Get up.

Clean it up.

Yes.

Isn't it good?

You like to meddle a lot.

Let me see what delicious food you prepared.

Let's see.

How is it?

Are these your favourite?

It smells so good.

Father, have a seat.

Here.

It's really good.

Father.

Beidu is good,

but it's not as good as the taste of our hometown.

Sit down.

Tell me about it.

Do you feel at ease staying here?

Yes.

Father, don't worry.

Father.

The dishes are getting cold. Hurry up and eat them.

Mingzhu.

Here's the thing.

I just arrived in Nandu today,

and accepted an invitation.

I do have something important to do.

I'd better eat with the others.

Father.

Who are they?

Sit down.

You're leaving before spending enough time with your daughter.

No, see.

I have something important to tell you.

It's just a friend,

who I haven't seen for a long time.

How about this?

Don't go there,

or take me with you.

No.

I do have something important to do.

Father.

Let me go with you.

Fine. Fine. Fine.

I'll let you

come with me.

I think Gongquan

is probably hiding from your unruly temper.

Am I right? Right?

Father.

He doesn't need to go so far to hide from me.

He went to the east coast to investigate a case.

What's the case about?

I don't know.

Maybe it's related to the water ghost robbery.

But he can really live up to

his reputation of the Detective of Jiangnan.

He really can infer from the tiniest clue.

But Father,

have you been in touch with him lately?

I don't know what he's investigating.

He's an imperial guard.

I'm an idle prince.

Why would I have the time to ask him about it?

Let's go.

Let's go together.

Don't worry. I'm here.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

It's all in the past.

Yun Xiang told me

you would rather kill yourself than speak.

I didn't believe it at first.

Yuewu, why are you so foolish?

How could I not save you?

I know official soldiers are following you.

It's okay.

Have a seat.

Yuewu, you've suffered a lot.

Don't worry.

I'm have a well-prepared plan.

Listen to me carefully.

You will be safe tonight.

Do you remember the bank

oppposite to Guanghui Bank,

called Dafeng Bank?

I ordered someone to establish it.

Go there to avoid official soldiers.

Go to the second floor from the southeast corner.

Leave the rest to them.

Don't worry about me.

We'll meet outside the city tomorrow morning.

Come, let's drink.

Come on.

Please.

This must be Princess Mingzhu,

Prince Fu's daughter, right?

Yes.

I heard that

Your Highness is gifted

and gorgeous.

I didn’t expect that after seeing Your Highness today,

the rumor didn't even describe a fraction of your charm.

Mingzhu.

Let me introduce.

This is Mr. Nangong.

Only a few people

can compete with him

in the business sector in Nandu.

He was my business friend.

No wonder.

I prepared a table of delicious dishes.

Father turned them down.

But I'm more interested in

the girl next to you.

What is the reason, Your Highness?

The hairpin on your hair is very exquisite.

I don't know where you got it from.

It's just an ordinary object.

If you like it,

I can buy it for you next time.

I’m sorry.

I didn't introduce her.

This is my right-hand man in Nandu.

Miss Kou, Kou Lianyi.

My lord.

it's time to close the net.

Yun Xiang is very suspicious.

What should we do?

Since Her Highness has agreed,

just do as she said.

Yes, My lord.

Mr. Nangong,

Arguably, I shouldn't question the sum of money

you have earned for me these years.

Why are Nangong Fang and Lady Kou here?

Isn't it a bit absurd for a bank

to give back interest?

Don't worry, Your Highness.

This is a trap for the enemy.

The business world is like a battlefield.

Who is it?

How dare you!

How dare you assassinate Prince Fu?

What is the bait you just mentioned?

The bait I mentioned

is the female bandit from Lingyuan.

Arrest them all!

Don't let anyone go!

Your Highness.

I'm late to the rescue.

Death penalty!

Shao Yiheng.
