[Episode 4]

Greetings, Madam Hua and Madams.

I'm Chen Zhi.

- I'm Yu Zhengyao. - I'm Shen Qi.

Everyone is avoiding us,

I didnโ€™t expect that there would still be three gentlemen.

Old Madam, I have brought some clothes, blankets, and food. They are in the carriage outside.

Your visiting us is already valuable to us.

How can we just baselessly accept all of these things?

Old Madam and Madam Xia, one day of teaching earns a lifetime of fatherhood.

The misfortune of our master weighs heavily on our hearts.

We wish we could suffer it in his place. Please accept these.

Yes. Please accept these.

I'll bring them inside.

I'll go as well.

I was wondering why I heard the magpies chirping early in the morning.

It turns out we have honored guests.

Old Madam and Madam Xia, we're here today to discuss an important matter with you.

Please go ahead.

The truth is, a cousin of mine works as an orator in Lord Xian's mansion.

When our master had that incident yesterday, I bribed him and asked him to make an inquiry.

How did it go?

His Majesty has made up his mind.

I had already anticipated this.

But thank you anyway.

Your great kindness will be remembered by the Hua Family.

You're welcome, Old Madam.

There is one more thing that I would like to say and ask you not to take offense to.

Speak freely.

With our master imprisoned, your family has lost the means of livelihood.

How will you manage in the future?

Indeed, there is really no way to survive.

Madam, don't worry.

We are all students of Master, no different from his descendants.

Yesterday, I, Shen, Yu, and other fellow students discussed this matter.

The urgent matter is to have a man who can stand up for you

and handle external affairs.

You are right.

Now, you still possess money and silk.

But merely living with it is not a solution.

In my humble opinion, buying land and gathering tenant farmers would be a long-term plan.

To maintain a middle-class household, at least 15 mu of land are needed.

Also, you need to rent a house with a few courtyards in the city to accommodate the entire family.

You can't live in such a place.

That's too little.

It requires at least 35 mu. Even that's not enough.

I wonder how much silver one mu of land costs.

Yesterday, we did a calculation of the total cost.

I wonder if the matriarch is in.

Why not invite her to discuss this together?

Sister-in-law doesn't understand these matters.

I'm the one who manages the household.

Madam Xia, in my opinion, you should buy the land first.

Once that's settled, you can go to the city to take care of the housing.

Hua Zhi, I don't have much cash for now.

I can only buy this much. In a few days, I'll bring more to you.

Thank you very much.

We shall consider this aid. We owe you a favor.

It's no bother. It won't be necessary in the future.

Our two families are supposed to...

to...

On that day, I had prepared the betrothal letter,

just waiting for my grandfather to return to visit your family.

But as soon as he came back, he burned the betrothal letter.

That's when I learned about what happened.

What is past is in the past. Now is not the time to talk about these things.

Let me do it. Allow me.

What are you doing?

Zhi'er, we are saved.

Grandfather can come back?

Thanks to your grandfather's benevolent students.

They are willing to come forward to rent a house for us.

It won't be long before we can move back into town.

We should spend only what we have.

They're what you've managed to bring out with much difficulty. Are you pawning all of them?

These are all just worldly possessions.

Besides, we have already discussed it.

For the time being, we'll endure it.

We won't buy any clothes, bedding, or servants for now.

We need to save money to quickly buy land and a house.

Mother, have you put your things in there, too?

Yes.

Jin'e is right.

Women like us possess only wealth.

If we don't quickly convert it into a house and some farmland,

we will eventually be unable to keep it.

It might even bring disaster.

That's right.

When we sleep at night, the maids' feet are almost over my head.

- This place is too small. - Right.

I can pawn to exchange money to buy land and rent a house as well.

Why entrust it to them?

Don't speak nonsense.

How can you, an unmarried girl,

haggle over prices with those merchants?

Don't mind her.

Everything is here.

It's only half the required amount.

What should we do?

I also have some here.

Having promised you, I must risk everything.

You have to do it even if you donโ€™t.

I will find a way to make up for the missing money.

Letting you have a place to settle is the most important thing.

This is not a small amount.

Madams, I swear to heaven not to take a single penny of this wealth.

If I handle it alone, I'm afraid you will worry.

It's better to have a supervisor.

Brother Chen, though my family is poor,

I am willing to offer what little help I can.

If you don't mind, I will take on the role of supervisor.

- I won't take a single penny, either. - Or perhaps I...

Brother Shen, your grandfather and father are officials, as Master Hua was.

It is better for you to stay out of this.

If a supervisor is needed, it should be someone from the Hua Family.

The elders are planning this. You shouldn't interrupt, little girl.

We are women. We know nothing about buying land or a house.

You all are men of noble character.

You've helped without any reason. We are eternally grateful.

Mother, yesterday, we were talking about

how to find a man to support the family.

And today, three suitable men are here.

It's truly the silver lining of the cloud, and misfortune is turning to fortune.

Master Chen.

Yes, Madam?

I have a personal matter to ask you.

You are quite handsome and have a kind heart.

I wonder if you're married.

I am ashamed that I'm not married.

Good. Good.

Really good.

Ma'am?

Thank you.

Take care. Take care.

Uncle Zhong.

You go and follow them.

What are you doing? I have to study.

What do you think of your grandfather's students?

Why say such frivolous words out loud?

It's dirtied my ears.

You foolish girl.

My eyes have been tempered.

I've seen Chen Zhi. He carries himself with the air of wealth and nobility.

And he looks good.

At critical moments, he can take on responsibilities.

His character is impeccable.

I'll strike while the iron is hot to make him my son-in-law

so that he can get our family out of this pit of fire.

I won't marry him.

What do you know?

Your grandmother said if a son-in-law is taken in,

the family business will be entrusted to him to let him support the household.

By then, you and I will be the ones in charge of the household.

If you take a fancy to him, you can marry him.

You foolish girl!

Come back here!

[Forever Prosperity and Stability]

Young Lady, take a look at this. It suits you well.

The material is all top-notch.

Thank you, Chen.

What's with the formalities?

I almost forgot that you nearly became Lady Hua's husband.

Brother Chen, this matter is no joke.

It concerns Shen's future.

Never mention it again in the future.

It doesn't matter. Fate plays with people.

Rest assured. I have a sense of propriety.

Brother Shen, you should hurry back home.

Brother Yu and I will turn these into money and return the cart to you tomorrow.

All right.

I followed them the entire day.

I saw it with my own eyes

that the man named Yu delivered a cart full of goods into the pawnshop.

And then the one named Chen went back home.

Thank you, Uncle Zhong.

- But you'll have to continue following them tomorrow. - Okay.

Get some rest early.

Take care.

The food sent by Master Shen will all be consumed by tomorrow.

I wonder whether he will send it again in the morning or in the evening.

Madame Qin, you have a discerning palate, always picking the tastiest one.

Where is the tasty one anyway?

It's all coarse food from the street.

Even peddlers and footmen can afford to eat it.

I wonder where the snack chef from Pingjiang,

who used to work for us, went.

That fool.

Miss.

What are you doing here? Have some hot porridge to warm up.

Have you had any?

I'm not hungry.

Miss, please eat more.

Fudong, you put your belongings in there too, didn't you?

Yes. That little bit of money I have isn't of much use anyway.

To me, following you back to town

to have a bed to sleep in and food to eat would be enough.

If you follow us, there is no bed to sleep in.

And it's still unknown if there will be food in the future.

Third Aunt and the others are desperate. They can't be dissuaded.

If we really lose everything, what should we do afterwards?

[Li Hou, Security Bureau Guard]

Brother Chen, I heard Deputy Commander Yuan is fuming and has beaten several prisoners to death.

Several?

[Zheng Hu, Security Bureau Guard]

Greetings, sir.

Sir, please have some tea.

No, thanks.

Then, do you have any orders?

I have nothing to do. You chat. I'll just stroll around.

Stroll?

I'll take you for a stroll. Let's go.

Our new head seems to have a good temper.

We're here. This way, please.

The first floor of the Security Bureau is mainly filled with cells.

There are a total of 17 cells.

The left side holds death row inmates.

The right side is for prisoners with lighter sentences.

The place for daily affairs is on the second floor.

Your area is also on the second floor.

This way, please. Mind the stairs.

I am Chen Qing. Just give me orders if you need anything.

The Commander's office is just ahead.

This way.

Watch the steps. That is your seat.

Sir, I'll go brew a pot of tea for you.

- Go ahead. - Right away.

When you sharpen your knife, don't aim it at me.

You are back.

Brother Chen, how is it?

His temperament is good.

I'm coming, sir.

This is what I purchased this year.

Sir, spare my life.

Go and brew another pot.

Call over Deputy Commander Yuan here.

Yes.

As for your matter,

we'll talk about it later.

Yes. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Sir, Brother Chen is feeling a bit dizzy. He asked me to pour you another pot of tea.

Thank you.

Brother Chen, what's the matter?

Hou,

how have I usually treated you?

Not bad.

Polish the walnuts for me in the future.

You don't want them?

And take good care of my old mother at home.

What's the matter? You don't want to live?

What is that girl doing out here sneaking around?

[Chen Mansion]

Hello, look.

We have the finest spirits here.

Would you like some?

You want to see me?

You're here.

Have some tea.

I am busy. I have no time for tea.

You've just arrived.

If you have any questions, just ask me.

What a coincidence.

It so happens that I have a question for you.

Three days ago, you went to the palace and met His Majesty.

You violated the rules of the Security Bureau

and secretly entered the palace without the Commander's knowledge.

What exactly was it for?

Spare me this act.

If it weren't for my turning Qi Ruhai in,

how could you, someone living in luxury,

have taken this position of the Commander?

Having gained an advantage, yet here you are, questioning and accusing.

You know me?

I have been in the bureau for 17 years.

There is nothing or no one in the Imperial Capital that I do not know.

Gu Yanxi,

I'm afraid you can even consult with me

about the matters of your household.

Then please enlighten me.

In the eighth year of Chengtian, when you just turned ten,

you entered the palace under a decreeand were raised alongside His Majesty.

And Lord Ling went to the mountains to cultivate

and has stayed away from the imperial court ever since.

Do you know why?

Back then, it was Qi Ruhai and I who personally dealt with that matter.

Now, I'm the only one left in the bureau who knows about it.

In the eighth year of Chengtian,

my maternal family plotted a rebellion.

His Majesty didn't want to implicatetoo many people, so he kept it a secret.

Thus, my mother and many officials were saved.

Since His Majesty has raised me by his side, I have known this since I was a child.

Deputy Commander Yuan, I originally thought that you were just vile in character.

But to my surprise, you are so stupid.

You've underestimated His Majesty too much.

And you've underestimated me, too.

I'm afraid you're not up to this job anymore.

Leave your badge and sword behind.

[Security Bureau]

Deputy Commander Yuan, do you think drawing your sword will pave the way for your survival?

Would you spare my life if I didn't?

No.

I deserve to die.

It's not your turn yet.

Summon everyone for me.

I'll give you a lesson.

You must be wanting to ask why Deputy Commander Yuan died.

For so many years, His Majesty has always held Qi Ruhai as his right-hand man.

He was beaten to death because the previous day,

Deputy Commander Yuan made a secret complaint to His Majesty,

exposing his conspiracy against me.

Yuan was confident in his favors for me.

Little did he know that the favors came from His Majesty, not him.

As the Commander is loyal to His Majesty,

the Security Bureau Guards should be loyal to the Commander.

The ureau knows all affairs in the capital.

You all must know very well who I am.

Outside this door, my identity is not important.

But once within the Bureau, I am the Commander.

Yuan Qi served for many years, holding the deepest secrets of countless people.

He thought he could blackmail me with these in exchange for his life.

But he was wrong.

His Majesty has given you this assignment to keep secrets,

not for selling out and seeking credit.

A dog that bites its master to death is something I cannot tolerate. Do you understand?

- Yes! - Yes!

The Security Bureau has been infamous, not just for a day or two.

Now that I am the Commander, you must follow my rules.

I will lead you the way I used to lead my soldiers.

From today onwards, the Security Bureau Guards must not fight in private,

oppress the good, or extort people.

If I find out that someone is misusing the name of the bureau to cause trouble,

I will take his life first.

- Yes. - Yes.

Any more questions?

Sir, I have a question.

Deputy Commander Yuan was highly skilled in martial arts.

What move did you use to kill him?

I'll teach you next time.

Okay.

What is your name, and how old are you?

Sir, my name is Li Hou. I am eighteen.

You've joined the bureau at such a young age.

Sir, do not underestimate this brother of mine.

Speaking of swiftness, no one in the bureau can match him.

All right. You are dismissed.

- Yes. - Yes.

Sir, I am willing to sever my own arm

in exchange for you to spare my life.

An arm for a life?

How can there be such a cheap deal?

Sir,

what has he done to make you insist on taking his life?

You are rather righteous.

But when did I say I'd take his life?

Thank you, sir!

As for how to deal with you, allow me to consider it further.

- What is your name? - I am Zheng Hu. Hu, as in tiger.

Tiger?

From today onwards, you will take over the position of Deputy Commander.

As for your brother, you should ask him yourself what he did exactly.

Thank you, sir.

No backing out after the bet is placed. No backing out.

[Rongfeng Casino] I told you to bet big, but you wouldn't listen.

- Big! - Big!

Open!

You've lost!

- Big! - Big!

Wait.

Isn't this my brother's jade pendant?

Well, well. He pretends to be so proper all the time.

It turns out he's been gambling secretly.

I'll take this jade pendant.

Young Master Shen, please take it.

I must show this to my father.

Let's go.

[Yongchang Pawnshop]

Lady, what do you wish to pawn?

Sir, a few days ago, my family pawned a batch of silk fabrics and jewelry.

Are they in your storehouse?

We haven't taken any silk over the past few days.

Lady, perhaps you've remembered wrong.

The pawner's name is Chen Zhi.

Lady, you must be joking with me.

Master Chen brought the items that day only to store them for half a day.

He took them away the same night.

Master Chen's family runs a pawnshop of their own.

Why would they pawn things to me?

It seems I've misremembered.

Could you tell me how to get to Chen's Pawnshop?

It's been two days already.

We haven't heard anything from Master Chen.

Master Shen hasn't sent any food here either.

Huilan, what's the rush?

Hasn't that servant already delivered the pawn ticket to our mother?

They'll see to it.

Moreover, buying land and renting a house is a serious matter.

You can't just rush into it.

If he were to bring over the deed immediately, I would be suspicious of him acting too hastily.

Indeed.

Even if you go to the countryside to buy a cow,

you still have to be picky, checking the teeth and all.

As for Master Shen, just don't count on him.

His parents are all about chasing profits.

Can't you see he didn't mention the betrothal at all?

If this matter can't be settled at once,

Master Chen should make another visit to explain things clearly to us.

Huilan, you've only spent that bit of money.

And now you're suspecting Chen Zhi?

That bit of money is still money.

[Chen's Pawnshop]

Shen Qi?

- Hua Zhi. - What are you doing here?

I...

Are you here for Chen Zhi?

Something strange happened today.

My brother saw the jade pendant I took off the other day

at your home at a gambling house today.

Father was so angry that he wanted to ground me. I was at a loss for words.

I had a hard time getting out.

Someone lost it in the gambling house?

Yes, indeed.

But Brother Chen clearly pawned this jade pendant.

I'm afraid their pawnshop has a thief who's been stealing things.

I just went to the Chen Mansion to look for him, but the doorman said he wasn't home.

So I came to check the pawnshop to remind him.

Master Shen, you should go back first, lest your father get angry again.

I know where this thief is.

Madam!

Master Chen has arrived.

What was I saying?

Hurry and fetch our mother.

See?

Greetings, Madam Hua.

I have not shown up for two days. You must be worried by now.

Not at all. We trust you a lot.

I am ashamed.

How so?

I've been going around these few days trying to borrow money,

hoping to make up the shortfall and quickly get the deed.

But the world is cold.

Although my friends and family helped, it's still not quite enough.

Since we already have the better part, we could rent the house first.

As for buying land, we can plan for it later.

Madam Hua, it's a hundred and fifty guan short.

I have an older friend who is a great scholar from the capital.

He heard that the Hua Family has a vast collection of books, including rare editions,

and all are brought out of the residence by you.

He is willing to pay twice the market price for these books.

Consider it a loan for reading.

When you can manage your finances, redemption is an option again.

I didn't expect that that girl Zhi would make a good deal by sheer fluke.

I've found a large dwelling with four rows.

The owner is eager to sell. It's of good quality and inexpensive.

If we can't get the money in a few days,

it will be hard for us to find such a place again.

Thank you, Master Chen.

Ladies, please return.

Wait. Master Zhong.

[Plum Blossom Numerology]

What are you doing?

Why give these books to him?

By selling these books today, we will be able to move into a proper residence tomorrow.

I want to thank you.

Zhi'er, on the day of the raid, you gave up wealth to save the books.

I understand your intention.

But matters must be weighted with priority and urgency.

Right now, we are without clothes and food at home.

The need is pressing. As for these books...

Money can always be managed, but these books must never leave this place.

Third Madam, what's going on here?

Oldest, you have always been wishful,

never associating with your uncles, aunts, and sisters.

Now you are not allowed to be so willful anymore.

Your grandma can decide on these books.

And I can too.

Master Chen, feel free to sell them.

This Chen Zhi is not a good person.

He's squandered all our money on gambling.

You have no proof. Do you have evidence?

This is Shen Qi's jade pendant. He took it off right here the other day.

It was lost to him at the gambling house.

Bet again! Big! Big!

Big! Big! Big!

- Don't move. - Who's it?

You are so feeble, and you dare to commit crimes.

Master Yu, I will ask you something.

If you answer clearly, I will let you go immediately.

If you lie to me or hide something,

I will send you to the authorities to strip you of your scholar's title.

I'll talk.

This is Yu Zhengyao's statement.

Chen Zhi threatened Yu Zhengyao to collude with him to swindle the wealth of our family.

Yu Zhengyao always borrows money from Chen Zhi for living expenses,

so he had no choice but to agree. [Yu Zhengyao]

That pawnshop belongs to the Chen Family. And he is the owner.

He merely transferred our money from one pocket to another.

Someone! Someone!

Someone!

Quick, go and call someone!

Uncle Zhong!

Someone!

- Quick, get someone! - Uncle Zhong!

Chen Zhi, aren't you afraid of being sued?

Being sued?

I know where this money comes from.

You guys smuggled it out secretly.

I dare to take your wealth. Dare you report to the authorities?

Beast! You beast!

Then let's strike a deal. Leave these books with me.

I don't spit out what I take.

These books can't be sold anyway.

I'll take them back, burn them all as firewood, and throw away the ashes.

Even if you report me, you have no proof.

You lowly wenches!

You despicable women were lucky enough not to have yourselves enslaved, having your head bowed to suffer.

Yet you dream of fine clothes and food?

How dare you argue with me?

So, there's no room for discussion.

Get lost!

Zhi!

Zhi!

Are the censors of the Security Bureau here?

I have a great contribution from heaven that I want to give to you two.

What merit? Tell me.

When our house was raided, we smuggled out some gold, silver, and treasures.

Today, I'm here to turn myself in.

Where is that wealth now?

It was stolen by this person and hidden in his pawnshop.

Sir, it's a misunderstanding.

You also need to come with me.

Wait...

Stop!

Nice strength, but your skills are not there yet.

Sir.

Sir, wipe off the sweat.

Truly impressive, sir.

Shall we take a break and have some tea?

Still a long way to go.

Back when I was in the Northern Land, I had to practice daily for two to four hours.

Who else will spar with me?

I'll do it.

You're not qualified.

Me.

Report!

Commander, when stationed outside the Zihuang Residence,

we confiscated a new batch of the Hua Family's property.

Where did it come from?

Chen Zhi has been captured and is locked up in prison.

And Lady Hua has also been captured and is confined outside,

waiting for your judgment.

Having waited in the wilderness for several days and been made,

you seem quite happy.

Hand over Chen Zhi to the government office.

Is that Lady Hua called Hua Zhi?

Yes.

So it is her.

- Let her go. - Y-Yes.

Commander, she won't leave. She insists on seeing you.

I will drive her away immediately.

[Plum Blossom Numerology, Mozi]

- Bring her in. - Yes.

[Plum Blossom Numerology]

I didn't expect you to hurl yourself willingly into the net.

The privately hoarded wealth of my family has been confiscated.

These books are not among those confiscated.

Can I have them back?

Are these books so important?

They might be worthless to you. But to me, they are extremely important.

Speaking of the raid on the Hua Mansion, His Majesty had instructed

that the manuscripts of Vice Censor-in-Chief Hua must not flow into the public sector.

The bureau searched thoroughly and only found some old works that had been published.

Not a single new word was found.

Isn't that strange to you?

My grandfather is old and frail. He had long ceased to write.

Presumably, he has no new work.

Sir, so naturally, nothing was found.

So that's how it is.

Then it's not my men being careless.

Can I have the books back now?

I've been bored lately. I just want to read some books for fun.

I think this Plum Blossom Numerology is quite good.

Could it be that he knows?

Lady Hua, you are truly stingy. You're not willing to lend me even a few books.

So be it.

Take your books...

and get lost.

Thank you.

This is not a place for you.

You two. Quickly clear these eyesores of books away from me.

Send them back to where you found them.

Yes.

Tell those two novices that starting today, they don't have to watch over the Huas anymore.

Yes.

Who among you still has energy? Practice with me again.

Sir, let's do it another day.

I'm out of stamina.

I just heard that Chen Zhi is locked up in jail.

Bring him to the martial camp for me.

Beast!

What a beast!

It's all my fault. I shouldn't have rushed to tell you.

Now it's all over. There's no way out anymore.

They say losing wealth wards off disasters.

But who would have thought that that girl Zhi would dare to provoke the Security Bureau?

What foolishness!

Is it time to think about these things?

That girl was taken away by the inspectors.

Now her life hangs by a thread.

Madam, Master Shen is here.

Third Madam.

Master Shen

I must have been blind for not seeing that you were the only integral one.

The other two are both unforgivable beasts with rotten hearts.

Master Shen, what brings you here?

I heard that Chen Zhi was paraded in a wooden cangue. Only then did I realize I was deceived by him.

I failed to see through bad people. I let you down.

I thought Hua...

That you must be anxious, so I came.

Chen Zhi came to rob us. He didn't hurt anyone.

Now he and Hua Zhi have been taken to the Security Bureau.

Master Shen, please sit for a moment.

I will have my daughter pour you a cup of tea.

No. Madam Xia, I must go.

What's the rush?

Madam, my family has some acquaintances among the imperial guards.

They might be able to speak with the Security Bureau.

What matters most is to bring Hua Zhi back.

By the way, Third Madam, I don't have any cash on me at the moment.

Once I have raised the money, I will immediately send it to you.

Farewell.

Ling'er! Ling'er!

Shen Qi is leaving.

Hurry and see him off.

Why would I do that?

Just do as I say.

He is a true gentleman.

Don't be foolish.

Even if he was to marry Hua Zhi, they are not engaged.

It's still undecided who will marry him in the end.

Don't you know our situation? Isn't it shameful enough already?

We are now at the end of our tether. He is our only hope.

Since he's willing to come to see us, it means he still cares for old times' sake.

What if the Shen Family is willing to lend us a hand?

- Come on. Just go. - I won't.

Mother, don't worry. I'll go.
