=Episode 3=

Boatman.

- What's going on?
- Mr. Zheng,

someone is in the water!

In the water?

Did you see that?

Where?

- There.
- Over there.

Right over there.

What happened? What happened?

Sanniang!

Someone is over there.

Sanniang!

- She's a friend of mine.
- Look. Right there.

Please get her out of the water!

But she's already dead.

Right.

I must go. She's my friend!

Don't move. Wait here.

You can't go.

Oh, he really jumped.

Yeah. He should be careful.

Be careful, man.

Be very careful.

Come back if you can't reach her.

- He got her.
- He got her.

Hurry.

Pull!

Quickly.

Pull the rope. Hurry.

Hurry. Pull the rope.

Watch out!

He got her back.

Harder.

Pull harder!

- Harder.
- Pull harder.

- Come on.
- Be careful!

Still harder.

Hang in there.

Come on.

- Come on. Quickly.
- Come on.

Pull.

Be careful.

Almost there. Hurry.

Come on.

Come on.

Harder!

- Quickly.
- Pull harder.

Come on.

Come and give me a hand.

- Come.
- Quickly.

Watch out.

Be careful.

She's up here. She's saved.

Be gentle. Be gentle.

- Careful.
- How's she?

How's she?

Oh. OK.

Come on. Give him a hand.

Here.

How's she?

- How's she?
- Is she all right?

How's she?

Is she still alive?

How's she?

Is she all right?

Umm...

She's alive. Alive.

Sanniang.

- Good, good.
- Yes.

Take her to the cabin

and warm her up with the heater.

This is just so sweet.

- Come on.
- Be careful.

Come and give them a hand.

Give them a hand.

Be gentle. Be gentle.

Careful.

Mr. Zheng noticed me.

I have to jump into the water
somewhere near the shore.

You can't. Your wound cracked again.

You mustn't jump into the water.

I'll solve the problem.

Go hide yourself first.

Mr. Zheng,

I was trying to say thank you to you.

Why did you keep avoiding me?

Ms. Zhao, let's just get to the point.

Who on earth is your friend?

You must have seen the official notice.

In terms of age, appearance,

accent, and martial arts,

your friend is exactly the wanted man.

Boatmen like us

don't make a fortune
on capturing a criminal.

We just...

We just don't want to be accused
of sheltering him.

Don't ask who he is.

He isn't a criminal, anyway.

If you want to report him,

never dream to do business
on this river anymore.

Ms. Zhao, are you threatening me?

I don't get to where I've gotten

by being a coward.

Wait.

If you're really curious,

I'll tell you about him.

He is Xiao Fan,

Minister Xiao's eldest son.

When he traveled to Qiantang County,

he fell in love with me.

The nephew
of Commandery Prince of Pengcheng

took fancy to me

and tried to make me his concubine.

That's why Xiao Fan and I are eloping.

Well, let me uncomplicate it for you.

I'm pregnant

and I carry Xiao Fan's baby.

They hurt Xiao Fan

and nearly killed my maid Sanniang.

They may kill my baby and me, too.

I wondered

why that man did great martial arts.

So, he was an official's son.

I didn't see anyone here.

I promise you

that no one on this boat

will gossip about him.

Prepare some light food.

- All right.
- Xiao Fan has a bad appetite.

You didn't hear us, did you?

I did.

I was just scaring him.

Never mind.

To heal your wound,
you used Tianfeng Powder

and Tianwang Healing Pellet.

Cantharides in them
easily cause a miscarriage.

Let me feel your pulse.

What a rascal!

I don't mean to tease you.

But pregnant women mustn't
take such medicine.

Don't talk nonsense.

Aren't you hurrying to find Ouyang

in the Eastern Capital
because you're pregnant?

I'm not pregnant.

Enough of this nonsense.

If you're not married,

how could you tell people

that you're carrying someone's baby?

Didn't I tell you
I was deceiving Mr. Zheng?

I played it by ear.
Don't you understand?

Come on, you work
at the Capital Security Office.

Sanniang is my friend.

To save her, you were exposed.

I just told a few lies.

What's the problem with it?

Besides,

I'm not carrying someone's baby.

I said it was your baby.

I mean

I only told Mr. Zheng.

No one else would know.

So, no one knows it's your baby.

I don't mean that.

I mean...

Anyway, it's...

Fine, fine.

It's just my luck.

I'll be the father, then.

You're taking advantage of me.

I'm a father so unexpectedly.

Aren't you taking advantage of me?

I was trying to save you.

Didn't I save your friend first?

Sanniang, you're awake?

Pan'er.

Where am I?

You freaked me out.

What happened to you?

Why am I here?

Pan'er,

(Porcelain)
Fu Xingui divorced me.

Zifang didn't want me, either.

That very night, I went back by carriage

to my hometown in Deqing Village.

But I arrived there,

only to see a collapsed house.

I felt...

I felt that I had nothing left.

Then...

I jumped into the water.

Fu Xingui...

He lied to me

that he let Lady Tao
adopt Zifang as a cover.

I believed him.

But I happened to see him

having an affair with Lady Tao.

They've been having an affair

for at least half a year.

They just didn't admit it.

Fu Xingui complained

that I was jealous and unreasonable,

I didn't respect him

and I defamed Lady Tao.

He wrote a divorcing letter on the spot.

(I didn't want to sign it, of course.)

(But Lady Tao bribed the clan chief.)

(The clansmen forced me
to put my thumbprint on the letter.)

(Then Zifang showed up,)

(only to say)

(that his father and Lady Tao
had no affair.)

(He said Lady Tao was nice to him.)

(Mouthed: This is my mother.)

(He said I was a bad mother)

(who only cursed him and his father,)

(and forced him to study hard.)

(He said I wasn't nice.)

(March 10)
(He said he hated me.)

(He preferred)

(to take Lady Tao as his mother.)

I gave birth to my son
after two days of difficult labor.

When we were poor,

even when I fainted due to hunger,

I always fed him enough food.

He...

He said he didn't want me.

He said he didn't want me.

Fu Xingui hit me and cursed me.

I was all right with it.

But Fu Zifang...

He's my biological son. But he...

He only wanted Lady Tao.

Then I have nothing

to live for.

You have something.

Your name is Sun Sanniang,

not Fu Zifang's mother.

You're a kind woman.

You can make delicious pastries,

dishes, and soup.

Neighbors all know that you're virtuous

and bounteous.

Besides,

no children in this world

don't recognize their parents.

I watched Zifang grow up.

A child like him

must be fond of playing.

It's very likely

that Lady Tao

coaxed him with food and toys

so that he said something stupid.

No, no.

Zifang didn't say that
in the heat of the moment.

He just hates me.

I don't even know

when he started to hate me.

He said he hated me

because I kept asking him to study

and I always wanted him

to make me an official's mother.

What have I done wrong?

I must have done something wrong.

I must have done something evil
in my previous life

so that

I was punished in this life.

Think about Fu Xingui.

When he married me,

he was even too poor
to afford the bride-price.

I...

I worked as a butcher

to collect every penny for him!

It took me two years
to collect one string.

I gave all the money to him

so he could start a business.

Now he's rich.

He fell out with me
and became ungrateful.

He forgot what life I was living

as a butcher for two years!

Why did I marry him?

Why did I even have such a bad son?

If I knew I would suffer in this life,

why would I live?

Why would I...?

She's too weak.

She can't be so excited.

Send this to Controller-general Liu.

And this to the Surveillance Office.

As for the gold to Xiuzhou,

you must send it personally.

Then stay in Xiuzhou.

Once Prefect Wang

captures that commander
of the Capital Security Office,

take him back immediately.

Aye. I'm on it.

But Prefect Wang...

Does he really dare to offend
the Capital Security Office?

Money talks, you know.

Over the years, he's taken
a lot of money from me.

He has to help me without reserve.

I don't believe

that commander can still escape
when all commanding officials

in Jiangnan Region
work together to hunt him.

I admire you, Your Honor.

Since she woke up at night,
she's been like this.

Her pulse is smooth.

She isn't wounded, I assume.

Looks like she's out of her mind

after having extreme grief.

She has to see a physician soon.

Otherwise, even if she lives,

she'll probably be demented.

I'll ask Mr. Zheng

to pull up to shore
and I'll take her off the boat.

Stop.

(Jiaxing County)

(Jiaxing County)
Stop.

(Jiaxing County)
Why?

- Stop.
- What is your job?

Sir.

Fine, fine.

I do small business.

Are you a local?

- Yes, yes.
- Away you go.

You, stop.

Off you go.

Come over.

You'd better stay on the boat.

You're wanted everywhere.

(What are you doing here?)

What if someone recognizes you?

I saved her life.

I can't watch her go insane.

Now that we're eloping,

I shouldn't let you take your maid

to a clinic alone.

(Tai'an Clinic)
(Superb Medical Skills)

She's out of her mind
due to extreme grief.

With a deficiency of heart and spleen,

she surely feels empty and muddled.

(I'll do the acupuncture on her)

(Notice)
(so that she can drink the decoction.)

(Thank you.)

(200 strings for the report of this man.
By Qiantang County Government)

Would you like the physician
to check on you, too?

This may be a safe place.

When Sanniang can drink the decoction,

we'll get back to the boat immediately.

(Tai'an Clinic)
(Anything specific we need to know about?)

Two things.

First,

rhinoceros horns should have been used.

But they're way too expensive

and I don't have any.

If you want her to recover soon,

you'd better buy some rhinoceros horns

in Guiyuan Pharmacy on West Street.

Rhinoceros horns?

How much do we need to spend?

For seven days,

at least twenty strings of copper coins.

What about the second thing?

She can't be exposed to wind or moved.

After you leave my clinic,

you'd better settle down in an inn.

She should drink the decoction
for at least seven days.

Seven days?

But we're in a hurry to leave.

Then I can't guarantee

whether this woman can survive.

(Tai'an Clinic)

Leave us in whatever inn.

Get on the boat and don't wait for us.

Ask someone to send you
to the meeting place.

If you can't get to the Eastern Capital
before Grain Rain,

don't you worry
that Ouyang Xu will marry Miss Gao?

Do you want to lose him?

I don't, but what can I do?

Sanniang's life matters most.

According to the physician,
she needs to rest for seven days.

Then say no more. Get in the carriage.

Hurry.

There they are.

Right over there.

That carriage.

After them!

- Stop!
- Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Stop the carriage!

Faster.

After them.

Stop!

Stop.

- I can't travel with you anymore.
- Stop!

- Stop the carriage!
- You stop!

Leave with Sanniang first.

Gee!

Gu Qianfan.

Gu Qianfan!

Gu Qianfan!

I'm here.

Here.

Give me your hand.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Then get off me.

It's not that I don't want to get up,

but I just had a sprain

and my arm had been wounded.

I can't move at all.

Why did you come back to me?

You asked me to leave first,

but didn't say where we would meet.

Then I certainly came back for you.

What a stupid girl!

If you met the pursuing soldiers,

you would have wasted
your chance of escaping.

You're stupid.

Look how weak you are.

If I hadn't come back for you,

you would have been dead.

Sanniang.

Sanniang.

Now that she's awake, she will be cured.

Get up.

Be careful.

What makes you smile broadly?

The sky is blue and the wind blows.

We're still alive.

And Sanniang can move now.

I can't help feeling happy.

What are we going to do next?

Get back to town.

The most dangerous place is
also the safest.

(Jiaxing Posthouse)

Don't be silly.

This is where officials live.

Only officials can stay.

A pirate doesn't dare to live there.

Come in, please.

This is his certificate.

(Certificate)

My mourning period is over.

I'm going back to the capital city
to get reinstated.

Please arrange a room

for my mother.

No problem.

Come upstairs, please.

May I have a needle and threads?

We need to patch clothes.

Wait a moment, please.

The certificate looks so real.

Does everyone in the Capital Security Office
have a few pieces?

Gu Qianfan isn't your real name, is it?

How do you know it looks real?

Did you see another one before?

Yes. When I was little.

My name and my certificate

are both real.

Sir, the needle and threads.

I lied to a lot of people.

But I don't want to lie to you.

What...?

What are the needles for?

The physician asked us
to buy rhinoceros horns.

That's way too ridiculous.

I think he exaggerated
Sanniang's problem

just to make more money.

I want to do acupuncture on her.

Maybe it'll help with the dissipation
of her extravasated blood.

Will it work?

I used it when I interrogated criminals.

Do you think it will work?

Don't stay here.

If you watch, you'll feel sad.

Wait downstairs.

She woke up.

You're awake?

Thank you for what you did today.

You had a long day.

It never happened before.

Someone thanked me for such torture.

A weapon can be used
to kill people or save people.

Today,

you smiled twice.

It never happened before, either.

Did I smile?

Come and have some tea.

How dare you be so rude to me!

Believe it or not, I'll torture you.

Do it, then.

You did that before, anyway.

I'm not scared.

Go.

But...

Hurry.

Sanniang.

Go.

Sanniang, why did you do that?

He's a bad man.

He's hunted

and there's an arrest warrant for him.

I saw that back in my hometown.

He just pricked my finger.

And he even tried to torture you.

Oh, Sanniang.

This is a misunderstanding.

You...

Get the medicine to me, Sanniang.

My medical kit.

Give it to me.

Even if this is a misunderstanding,

we still have to leave immediately.

He's from the Capital Security Office.

Everyone there is ruthless.

We must run.

He saved your life. We can't just leave.

If we leave him alone

and he is detected by the soldiers,

he will be doomed.

But he's a wanted criminal.

If we're implicated,

how can you marry Ouyang Xu?

No matter who he really is,

I just take him as a friend now.

He didn't tell me anything.

But I'm quite aware.

Look, he's hunted by so many soldiers.

Someone powerful must be

behind Yang Zhiyuan's murder case.

Now that he promised me

that he would risk investigating it,

we can't leave him alone.

But when he met you for the first time,

he was so rude to you.

Can you believe him?

Do you believe me?

I do, of course.

I believe him.

I'll stop arguing.

You're smarter than me, anyway.

I'll just listen to you.

Now that you're awake,

you must straighten up.

You were deceived
by Fu Xingui for ten years.

But it's better than being deceived
for a lifetime.

Some people can be very duplicitous.

Magistrate Zheng Qingtian, for example.

I used to think he was a nice man

until Mr. Yang Zhiyuan was murdered.

And look at Gu Qianfan.

I hated him in the first place.

But in the past few days, I realized

that he was a good man.

When did you wake up?

Sorry, Sanniang, she...

Never mind.

I won't be angry with a sick woman.

By the way,

when did you start
to suspect Zheng Qingtian?

You said Commandant of Ninghai Army
wounded you.

But those who just hunted us were

obviously subordinates

of Director-in-chief of Xiuzhou.

Since the last dynasty,

the two divisions have hated each other.

Why are they helping each other now?

Then I thought of

the Magistrate of Qiantang County
who issued the arrest warrant.

He asserts that you're a pirate

and this is weird.

You also talked
about the most dangerous place.

How can the Magistrate
of Qiantang County

interfere with business in Xiuzhou?

Mr. Yang Zhiyuan is of 6th rank.

But they killed him without hesitation.

Who knows how huge the benefits can be?

Do you know why I dared
to check in with my real name?

Because I'm suspecting something.

Just now, I sent my location

to the nearest station

of the Capital Security Office
by pigeon.

I'll see what is going to happen.

We need to live in another inn.

(Notice)
(Qiantang County Government)

(Notice)
(Qiantang County Government)

(Notice)
(Qiantang County Government)

(Huating County)

Mr. Zhou,

have one more drink with me.

All right. Use the fur cup

and I'll keep drinking with you.

Here.

Well, well, isn't this Mr. Zhou?

Mr. Xu?

Be seated, please.

(Mr. Xu)
She's a pretty girl.

Sit down.

Sit?

Yes.

You owe me 50 strings of copper coins.

When are you going to pay me back?

My cargos haven't arrived yet.

When they arrive,
I'll pay you back immediately.

Tush!

Don't, don't.

Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu.

It's a misunderstanding, Mr. Xu!

Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu, don't get me wrong!

Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, it's a misunderstanding.

Mr. Xu, I just have a money problem.

All my shops have been mortgaged.

Mr. Xu,

I'll go get the money!

I'll go right away!

You have only one day.

If you still don't pay me back...

Go.

Honey,

you must be hungry.

It smells so good.

Come over.

You don't want the food?

Don't be scared.

Do you feel cold?

Your hands are so cold.

And look at your hair.

What a mess!

Don't be afraid.

Don't be scared.

Come over. Come. Right.

Yinzhang,

your husband is in trouble now.

Do you remember the ruffian Mr. Xu?

He came to ask for his money again.

To marry you,

I borrowed twenty strings from him.

Now, we're married.

I have to pay him back, right?

So, could you give me

a bit more of your stash?

It's not that I don't give it to you,

but I'm out of money.

I really have no money.

Why can't you be honest?

You're a famous performer
from Qiantang County

and a pipa master in Jiangnan Region.

How could you be out of money?

Then why did you have money

after I hit you last time?

Last time,

I impawned my jewels

for a string of copper coins.

Why do you still deny it?

Believe it or not,

I will burn your face!

Do you believe it?

My money is indeed kept by Pan'er.

Even if you killed me,
I would still say so.

How dare you!

Come on. Stab.

Stab yourself!

Get up!

(Arrest Warrant)

Pan'er.

I bought this. How does it look?

I'll see if there's anything delicious.

(Arrest Warrant)

Look, you're such a beautiful lady.

The fire coral is perfect for you.

Sir, how about buying it for your wife?

All right.

See you, sir.

Is there also a spy
in the Capital Security Office?

In a high position, I'm afraid.

In case of getting implicated,

Mr. Zheng will not tell them about you.

You're only delayed by one day.

If you travel by carriage

with a good Armed Escort,

you can reach the Eastern Capital
before Grain Rain.

Take the gold

as your traveling expenses.

No way. You're all alone now.

If we both leave,

what will you do?

I'm not alone. Don't you remember?

Wan Qi at Xiuzhou Branch
of the Capital Security Office

has the most tremendous bonds with me.

What if you get in trouble

before you meet him?

How about we escort you?

It's more convenient for me to go alone.

You may not know

my nickname
in the Capital Security Office.

Living Devil.

Unless I want to die,
no one can kill me.

Yinping!

Sanniang?

Sanniang.

Ms. Zhao?

Why are you here?

Ms. Zhao,

please save Yinzhang.

Zhou She has tortured her.

What?

She's almost dying.

Shortly after the wedding,

he was nice and considerate.

But when we arrived in Huating County,

he took us ashore,

saying that his old illness recurred,

he needed to stay for rest

and couldn't go to Yingtian Prefecture.

The next day,
he asked Yinzhang for money

to buy expensive medicinal materials.

Yinzhang gave him the money
a couple of times

before she sensed something fishy.

I asked around and got to know

that Huating County was his hometown.

Yinzhang questioned him,

and then he lost his temper.

He complained of bad business

and asked Yinzhang not to interfere.

He even forced her to give him

500 strings from her dowry.

She refused and got beaten.

I'm keeping Yinzhang's dowry.

How could she get so much money?

She didn't have the money.

She had planned to ask you for the money

after you cooled down.

But in case of disgrace,

when she got married,

she had some rocks

wrapped in brocade

and put in a dozen boxes.

How stupid she was!

No one can save her, but you.

I was sold the day before yesterday.

At that time...

At that time,

Yinzhang was beaten so badly
that she couldn't even stand up.

She was locked in the woodshed,
waiting to die.

How far does Zhou She live from here?

Not very far.

In Huating County, 50 li from here.
[*50 li: Equals 25 kilometers]

Mr. Gu, may I have a word with you?

Before you leave,

may I beg you for something?

Try to help someone again?

It takes quite a lot of time

to save a married woman.

Don't you want to reach
the Eastern Capital before Grain Rain?

Yinzhang matters more than Ouyang Xu.

If I can't make it to the capital city,

it's just my fate.

Could you lend me a little more money?

How much do you want?

Ten taels of gold, at least.

How do I have so much money?

You do.

When you were in a coma on the boat,

I found two bars of gold from your robe.

The gold you gave me

was just taken from it.

You...!

No way.

That gold token is vital to me.

I can't give it to you.

I beg you, all right?

I'll pay you back later.

I'm not finding an excuse.

I just can't give it to you.

I have one thing.

Can I exchange it for your gold?

You asked Mr. Yang Zhiyuan

for The Night Revels, right?

I have the authentic painting.
