00:12:56,830 --> 00:12:57,960
They are all pretty good.
186
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,590
Ning Lian, Yu'er, hurry.
187
00:13:02,510 --> 00:13:03,230
Coming!
188
00:13:03,230 --> 00:13:04,680
Come, Magistrate Feng.
189
00:13:06,630 --> 00:13:07,160
Get away from me.
190
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,680
We only want Cuizhu today.
191
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,510
These people have been here once.
192
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,110
My dear sister Cuizhu hosted them.
193
00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:18,470
They paid handsomely,
194
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:19,400
but
195
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,920
according to Cuizhu,
as those three were drunk,
196
00:13:41,470 --> 00:13:42,230
they just...
197
00:13:45,470 --> 00:13:46,280
What are you doing?
198
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:49,230
What are you doing? Let me go.
199
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:51,960
Let go!
200
00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:55,200
Cuizhu my girl, do you miss me?
201
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,160
Please don't, Magistrate Feng.
202
00:13:59,990 --> 00:14:01,080
Let me go!
203
00:14:02,750 --> 00:14:04,870
Please, Magistrate Feng.
204
00:14:05,510 --> 00:14:07,040
Let me go!
205
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,440
Let me go!
206
00:14:09,830 --> 00:14:10,560
Let me go!
207
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:11,040
Don't move.
208
00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:14,160
I beg you,
209
00:14:14,590 --> 00:14:16,200
let me go!
210
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,630
No!
211
00:14:20,350 --> 00:14:21,080
Cuizhu.
212
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,590
Cuizhu!
213
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,440
Don't touch me! Don't touch me!
214
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,230
It's me.
215
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:35,870
Cuizhu.
216
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,440
These animals.
217
00:14:52,470 --> 00:14:53,200
I'll go and report this.
218
00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:54,630
Don't.
219
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,440
Don't, Miss.
220
00:14:56,750 --> 00:14:59,800
I still need this money
to treat my mother's illness.
221
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,990
Don't go.
222
00:15:15,140 --> 00:15:18,140
Two days ago, those three came again.
223
00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:20,500
Everyone didn't dare to host them.
224
00:15:21,830 --> 00:15:23,310
The madam asked us to draw lots.
225
00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:27,310
Just draw it. Think of it
as saving money for our family.
226
00:15:32,590 --> 00:15:33,260
I'll go.
227
00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:12,350
After Magistrate Xue
was put on death row,
228
00:16:12,950 --> 00:16:14,190
he wasn't executed immediately.
229
00:16:14,950 --> 00:16:16,430
The execution is six months later.
230
00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:20,260
Now, it's almost time for his execution.
231
00:16:21,310 --> 00:16:22,950
That is all I can get
232
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:24,500
from them.
233
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:38,780
It's all right.
234
00:16:44,430 --> 00:16:46,110
My little, unworthy life
235
00:16:46,430 --> 00:16:48,620
wouldn't be able to wait
till the day of justice.
236
00:16:49,230 --> 00:16:50,230
Justice will come.
237
00:16:53,020 --> 00:16:53,990
You have to wait
238
00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:56,620
and see, with your own eyes,
239
00:16:58,990 --> 00:17:00,780
what ending awaits those men.
240
00:17:01,350 --> 00:17:02,070
Qiongzhi,
241
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:06,390
I will return to Huaixiang
to seek justice for you and
242
00:17:06,740 --> 00:17:07,870
overturn the case for the Xue family.
243
00:17:08,990 --> 00:17:10,100
I want to, with my own hands,
244
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:11,820
capture these lowly beasts,
245
00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:13,540
peel their skin
246
00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:14,740
and drink their blood.
247
00:17:15,430 --> 00:17:16,300
I swear to you.
248
00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:18,670
You just wait.
249
00:17:19,670 --> 00:17:21,150
You must live on well.
250
00:17:30,670 --> 00:17:35,100
The Xue family is fortunate
to have a friend like you.
251
00:17:45,230 --> 00:17:46,340
Second Lady Jiang,
252
00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:51,540
do you remember
the drawings in this box?
253
00:17:52,230 --> 00:17:54,390
Xue Zhao is not an ignorant fool.
254
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:58,100
This drawing is not
some leisurely doodles.
255
00:17:58,870 --> 00:18:00,340
It's just that I am not smart enough
256
00:18:00,630 --> 00:18:02,430
to figure out what he left me.

Xue Zhao's last work.
259
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:12,470
I'll leave it to you
260
00:18:13,230 --> 00:18:14,300
to solve it.
261
00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:22,390
Wait, Qiongzhi.
262
00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:23,780
I'll go get the physician.
263
00:18:25,150 --> 00:18:25,910
Miss,
264
00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:32,500
I know my condition well.
265
00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:44,020
When I first arrived at Xihua Brothel,
266
00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:49,870
I've sought death countless times
to no avail.
267
00:18:51,540 --> 00:18:53,150
Now I know.
268
00:18:55,540 --> 00:18:57,470
The heavenly skies kept me alive
269
00:19:03,740 --> 00:19:05,100

00:19:20,820 --> 00:19:24,990
you must remember what you promised.
272
00:19:26,990 --> 00:19:28,780

274
00:19:38,580 --> 00:19:40,390

Chu Lan's rent is paid annually,
289
00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:37,580
in gold.
290
00:21:37,870 --> 00:21:38,630
Gold bars?
291
00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:39,990
If so, investigations would be easier.
292
00:21:40,230 --> 00:21:41,670
Not the imperial court-casted gold bars.
293
00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:43,540
It's scrap gold.
294
00:21:43,870 --> 00:21:44,950
Paid in grains of gold?
295
00:21:45,150 --> 00:21:47,910
There seems to be a gold mine around.
296
00:21:47,950 --> 00:21:50,500
That can't be. There were land disasters
two years ago in the south.
297
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:51,540
The imperial court
closed down all mines.
298

Luyang's mining ban
has yet to be lifted.

To privately mine
the imperial gold mines
304

is as guilty as treason.

where the gold mine is.

that can be accessed immediately
309
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:14,470

00:25:49,990 --> 00:25:52,100
You're still handling
the faltered business.
369
00:25:52,470 --> 00:25:53,470
You have to stay here
in Ye's Residence.
370
00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:55,780
Huaixiang...
371
00:25:57,740 --> 00:25:58,580
I go on my own.
372
00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:00,540
Don't you treat me like an outsider!
373
00:26:01,150 --> 00:26:02,540
It's fine if it was anywhere else.
374
00:26:02,950 --> 00:26:03,820
But Huaixiang...
375
00:26:05,950 --> 00:26:06,740
worries me.
376
00:26:07,870 --> 00:26:08,740
What do you mean?
377
00:26:09,150 --> 00:26:11,390
The Ye family used to have
a store in Huaixiang.
378
00:26:12,710 --> 00:26:13,990
After the magistrate's position
changed hands...
379
00:26:16,020 --> 00:26:16,820
Tax inspection!
380
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:19,300
Your store didn't pay anything
for occupancy tax last month.
381
00:26:19,470 --> 00:26:20,020
Why,
382
00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:22,150
does the Ye family wish to rebel
383
00:26:22,150 --> 00:26:23,190
in the Huaixiang territory?
384
00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:23,990
Sir,
385
00:26:24,260 --> 00:26:25,540
our occupancy and passing tax
386
00:26:25,540 --> 00:26:26,870
were all paid together.
387
00:26:27,190 --> 00:26:27,710
Here,
388
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:28,580
we still have
389
00:26:28,580 --> 00:26:29,910
the tax receipts that you gave to us.
390
00:26:30,230 --> 00:26:31,950
Hold on, sir. I'll get it for you now.
391
00:26:33,470 --> 00:26:34,820
How dare you forge tax receipts?
392
00:26:34,990 --> 00:26:36,020
It seems like you would like us
393
00:26:36,020 --> 00:26:36,990
to cuff you up today, huh?
394
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:38,580
Come, cuff him, and take him away.
395
00:26:39,740 --> 00:26:43,540
Sir, sir!
396
00:26:43,870 --> 00:26:45,190
I'll pay those taxes right now.
397
00:26:46,190 --> 00:26:48,230
It was such a calm, peaceful region,
398
00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:50,950
now it's all rotten and corrupted.
399
00:26:51,780 --> 00:26:52,820
That was why our business
400
00:26:52,820 --> 00:26:54,100
couldn't go on,
401
00:26:54,710 --> 00:26:55,910
and we withdrew the business.
402
00:26:56,340 --> 00:26:57,950
Now that you're going there,
403
00:26:58,190 --> 00:27:00,150
no matter what, I must accompany you.
404
00:27:00,340 --> 00:27:02,910
Jia'er shouldn't go either. I'll go.
405
00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:05,780
Uncle, you're eavesdropping!
406
00:27:05,990 --> 00:27:07,340
If I weren't eavesdropping,
407
00:27:07,820 --> 00:27:09,500
I won't even know that you both,
408
00:27:09,780 --> 00:27:10,870
one plans to go alone,
409
00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:12,340
another is following to cause trouble.
410
00:27:14,060 --> 00:27:15,990
Do not underestimate me, I'm going.
411
00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:17,670
You better just stay at home.
412
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:20,100
Although I couldn't get into
the escort agency,
413
00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:22,630
my escort's skills are still sound.
414
00:27:23,150 --> 00:27:24,390
I can protect Li, no problem,
415
00:27:24,630 --> 00:27:25,910
but if you're coming too
for the adventure,
416
00:27:26,390 --> 00:27:27,150
when something happens,
417
00:27:27,910 --> 00:27:28,580
who should I save?

Jia'er,
420
00:27:31,340 --> 00:27:32,430
you should stay at Ye's Residence.
421
00:27:33,020 --> 00:27:34,020
I don't know
422
00:27:34,020 --> 00:27:35,870
how to tell Second Uncle and Second Aunt
423
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:37,430
about this properly.
424
00:27:38,430 --> 00:27:39,390
You have to help me.

Let me first say thank you then.
430
00:28:06,990 --> 00:28:07,820
We found it, Master Su.
431
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:09,190
Sure enough, it's a sand gold mine.
432
00:28:09,540 --> 00:28:11,470
I walked down the Dong Mountain waterway
433
00:28:11,470 --> 00:28:12,710
and saw it
within three miles of walking.
434
00:28:13,950 --> 00:28:14,870
Is it not secluded at all?
435
00:28:15,870 --> 00:28:16,710
Not really.
436
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:19,540
They are working in the name
of mining sand and earth.
437
00:28:20,020 --> 00:28:22,580
During the day, it seemed
to be just digging sand.
438
00:28:23,020 --> 00:28:24,780
The workstations are cleverly designed.
439
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:26,580
It was scattered along the river.
440
00:28:26,740 --> 00:28:27,950
The very first station
441
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:29,990
is right next
to the sealed imperial gold mine.
442
00:28:30,260 --> 00:28:30,990
Guess what?
443
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:33,230
The mine is open.
444
00:28:33,230 --> 00:28:35,710
So they are not just digging
for sand gold,
445
00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:37,260
they are also mining
the imperial gold mines.
446
00:28:38,060 --> 00:28:38,910
That's impossible.
447
00:28:39,340 --> 00:28:42,430
Never mind the open-pit mining
of placer gold, to open up new mines...
448
00:28:43,390 --> 00:28:44,630
Do they have that many laborers?
449
00:28:45,020 --> 00:28:46,630
Where is the imperial gold mine?
450
00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:47,990
In Huaixiang.
451
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:48,780
Huaixiang?
452
00:28:49,230 --> 00:28:49,910
Are you surprised?
453
00:28:50,540 --> 00:28:52,190
The Xue Huaiyuan
who was jailed for being greedy,
454
00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:53,710
he used to be the county's magistrate.
455
00:28:53,870 --> 00:28:54,580
What a coincidence.
456
00:28:55,910 --> 00:28:57,710
When was the sand mine built?
457
00:28:57,820 --> 00:28:59,990
About half a year ago.
458
00:29:02,630 --> 00:29:06,020
Six months ago, Xue Huaiyuan
was imprisoned.
459
00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:08,910
The sand mine was built.
460
00:29:09,630 --> 00:29:12,710
You are saying this
has to do with the Xue family?
461
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:14,780
They can mine
for placer gold themselves.
462
00:29:15,540 --> 00:29:17,150
But anyone who wants to mine
the sealed imperial gold mine
463
00:29:17,150 --> 00:29:19,430
in the territorial borders of Huaixiang,
464
00:29:20,630 --> 00:29:22,300
no matter how deep
the capital's connections are,
465
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:24,020
it wouldn't be able to reach the yamen.
466
00:29:24,150 --> 00:29:25,020
What's so difficult about that?
467
00:29:25,340 --> 00:29:26,990
If you can't reach it, just buy it over.
468
00:29:27,230 --> 00:29:28,630
That lowly Governor from Luyang
469
00:29:28,820 --> 00:29:30,150
just sucked up to his superiors.
470
00:29:30,580 --> 00:29:31,780
What if no one can buy it?
471
00:29:32,190 --> 00:29:32,910
Then just...
472
00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:35,300
What you mean is...
473
00:29:35,540 --> 00:29:37,390
Li Zhongnan was embezzling
from the imperial gold mine
474
00:29:38,190 --> 00:29:39,630
and framed Xue Huaiyuan for it.
475
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:41,910
Looks like the deaths
of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao
476
00:29:42,540 --> 00:29:44,950
is not solely caused
by offending Wanning.
477
00:29:45,150 --> 00:29:46,670
They were afraid that Xue Huaiyuan
478
00:29:46,670 --> 00:29:48,340
told this to his children,
479
00:29:49,390 --> 00:29:50,990
