An Oriental Odyssey

25

Episode 07

26

After the storm last night,

27

the Imperial Library was affected.

28

We organized the paintings and books all night long,

29

then we find the most important painting on our register lost.

30

Which one?

31

Painting of Basjoo Tree.

32

It is the most favorite painting of the Empress.

33

You must have seen it on the court.

34

Is that painting with a man and a woman

reading under the basjoo trees?

35

Exactly.

36

I have a slight impression.

37

It is the most favorite painting of the Empress.

38

She took it wherever she went after she entered the palace.

39

There's some wear and tear on the scroll of it.

40

So I asked someone to get it repaired.

41

Just received it for a few days.

42

I planned to hang it up on the Empress's birthday.

43

Little do I think it would disappear after the storm.

44

Do others know about that?

45

Except me, there are some eunuchs

46

who in charge of organizing books and paintings.

47

It is a thing come down to life and death,

48

how dare I tell anyone besides you?

49

Lanzhi,

50

our lives are counting on you.

51

Don't panic.

52

Property loss can have only two possible ways,

53

thief from outside or inside.

54

The palace is well-guarded,

55

it's not easy for normal people to get in or out.

56

Then, have you examined every eunuchs and people involved?

57

I did.

58

I did once it happened.

59

No suspect was found.

60

Moreover, if it is an internal thief,

61

it wouldn't be possible for him

to get rid of the responsibility with himself involved.

62

You have a point indeed.

63

If he still in the palace,

64

he dared not venture to steal the painting.

65

Yes.

66

But what if he have already left?

67

Did any eunuch in Imperial Household Department ask for leave?

68

No one.

69

Eunuch Li,

70

you forget about Cao Yi.

71

Oh, well, there was one eunuch who did ask for leave five days ago,

72

who was in charge of repairing desks and chairs.

73

He followed me from an early age.

74

I remembered he told me that

his parents was going to visit him that day,

75

he cried a lot, so I permitted his leaving.

76

When will he come back?

77

Eunuch Li, he should be back yesterday.

78

Eunuch Li, this eunuch could be the suspect.

79

I may find the eunuch who didn't come back in time first.

80

Do you have his portrait?

81

Yes.

82

Find the portrait for sir quickly,

83

Yes.

84

Come and have a look. Delicious steamed buns.

85

Sir, what do you want?

86

Have you seen this man before?

87

No, never.

88

Steamed buns. Do you want one?

89

Have you seen this one before?

90

Never.

91

Steamed buns.

92

Homemade wine.

93

Mr. Zhao.

94

You're drunk again?

95

It feels good.

96

It will feel better to look at corpses when you're drunk.

97

Coroner,

98

have you found any strange corpse lately?

99

No strange corpse,

100

but last night, I receive one eunuch corpse.

101

An Eunuch corpse?

102

The dead body of an eunuch.

103

What can you tell from the corpse?

104

He was murdered, with two wounds,

one in gutter, the other in the abdomen.

105

But the one in abdomen merely did the blood flew out.

106

What do the murderer want?

107

For fortune or revenge?

108

You could be the one to tell,

109

the murderer was caught murdering，

110

now he is being interrogated in the county court.

111

See you later.

112

Sir.

113

He is the murderer?

114

Exactly.

115

The nameless eunuch was killed by him.

116

The night it happened, he was caught murdering

while the waiter was serving dishes.

117

Look, sir, this is his tool for criminal purpose.

118

Where are the stolen goods?

119

We haven't find them yet.

120

He must get cahoots,

and he was the one who was left for guilty.

121

so the others can have the fortune and run away.

122

You are wise.

123

Continue your interrogation.

124

Yes.

125

Do you have any cahoot?

126

What's your name? Tell me the truth.

127

No. I never killed anyone!

128

You are so stubborn. Punish him.

129

Look, miss,

130

this is sent from the prison of county court.

131

What did they say?

132

They said Mu Le killed someone

and is kept in the prison for now.

133

Tell them,

134

the waist tag was reported missing

by our servants a few days ago,

135

the one in the prison is not our business,

but thanks for asking.

136

I'm on my way.

137

That's enough.

138

Stand still,

139

how dare you to steal the horse of Mr. Zhao?

140

No way to escape.

141

Go ahead.

142

What guilty is the boy?

143

He dared to steal my horse!

144

You did have the balls.

145

Go inside.

146

Don't be so angry, I got some snacks for drinking,

let's drink a little.

147

Alright, let's go.

148

Who beat you like that?

149

it's me!

150

It's so serious.

151

You deserve it, you know? Living alone outside.

152

Indeed.

153

Let's get you out first.

154

Does it really work to strengthen the prison?

I will escape anyway.

155

Show you a new toy, watch carefully.

156

Stomachache! Oh my god!

157

Help me please!

158

What're you yelling for?

159

Someone passed out! Help!

160

Be quick!

161

Someone passed out.

162

What happened?

163

First aid! Quickly!

164

Come on.

165

-Sir.

-Sir.

166

Bad luck, we run into him.

167

You two are so rude,

Why don't you guys greet the Mr. Zhao?

168

We are fresh, haven't known all the people there.

169

Sorry, sir.

170

You're fresh?

171

Yes.

172

What's your duty?

173

Cook.

174

Well,

175

the dishes of tonight are too salty.

176

I'm sorry, sir, I will be careful next time.

177

Don't be so talkative next time.

178

You may leave.

179

Go go go.

180

What happened to you?

181

Just a few days after you leave the mansion,

182

you are now getting involved in a murder case,

you are even put into the prison,

183

now do you wanna go back with me?

184

You still don't want, do you?

185

What's the matter with you?

186

You wanna go back to that prison?

187

I didn't.

188

Make this whole thing be clear to me.

189

He lied to me.

190

That is the one, we will sneak into his inn tonight,

191

and you will help me to steal his full package out.

192

I can't do things like that.

193

No way,

194

who offered you to eat and drink

and beautiful ladies these days?

195

Though you never enjoyed it, but at least you have seen it.

196

And you are not willing to do me one little favor.

197

Sit down.

198

Don't go,

199

It's my fault to hide the truth.

200

To be honest, that one was my foe,

201

I hate him in the guts.

202

The money he got in him, was stolen from my family.

203

My parents committed suicide after knowing that.

204

You are helping me to get the fortune of my family back.

205

Well,

206

Isn't that reasonable?

207

What do you say?

208

Come.

209

Be quick!

210

What are you doing?

211

He saw us, we will be screwed if I don't kill him.

212

Find the package!

213

It's here.

214

Sir, the dishes are ready.

215

Take it.

216

Sir.

217

The murderer! The murderer!

218

Let's go back home first. We need a detailed plan first.

219

Go.

220

Little cook,

221

you wanna sneakily pick up the suspect

under my nose again?

222

You need to get through me first.

223

If the county court have capable guards,

224

I won't get away every time then.

225

Miss Ye, you're wrong,

226

if you've got away, I won't be here.

227

The waist band is sent to me by you,

228

then why didn't you expose me just now inside the prison?

229

Without you, he wouldn't tell us the truth.

230

Do you have any idea who the deceased one is?

231

Who is he?

232

Eunuch Cao from Imperial Household Department.

233

How can an eunuch get out from the palace?

234

It's involved with the top secrets of the Department,

235

I can't tell you that, no one can,

236

I let you have him to avoid people in there.

237

That means,

you don't believe that he is the murderer neither.

238

No murderer will wait to be caught,

239

unless he is a fool.

240

Are you a fool?

241

You are a fool.

242

Alright, knock it off,

243

What matters most now is

to find the Ni Gu he mentioned.

244

Maybe he have the thing that belongs to Eunuch Cao.

245

Okay.

246

Then I will help you.

247

And me.

248

Dear Mr.Ye, if you need anything please tell me,

249

I'm sure you will be satisfied.

250

I'm a dedicated man,

251

came to here doing business several months ago,

252

and met a girl named Chun Hua.

253

Now I can't get myself over her,

254

will you ask her out to have a good time with me.

255

Oh my god, Mr.Ye you've got a good taste,

256

She is the top courtesan of ours.

257

But what a pity, you're a little bit late,

258

she redeemed herself by her lover a few days ago.

259

What about I get you someone else

as lovely as Chun Hua is, you have my word.

260

Mama,

261

I don't care about others, all I want is Chun Hua.

262

If you can help me find her, these would be yours.

263

Alright, I see,

264

Chun Hua had a headache, so she won't be far away.

265

In the beginning and middle of every month,

266

she would go to the Herbal Hall

at the east of the town to buy her medicines.

267

You amorous young man can go to wait her there,

268

I'm sure you will meet her again.

269

Eggs!?

270

The decoction is ready.

271

Chun Hua, come here.

272

I'll help you up.

273

You'll feel better.

274

Here, It's a little hot.

275

Drink it and you will feel better.

276

Thank you.

277

There's no need to thank me, you're my wife now,

278

after I get you out of the Qianjiao Square.

279

No matter what, I promise you a good life,

and never have to suffer anymore.

280

A man of honour attains wealth in a meaningful way.

281

Who are you?

282

Why you are here?

283

Ni Gu, you murdered for money and framed others up,

284

you're not going to get away.

285

I don't know what you are talking about.

286

How come I have killed someone?

287

I never did things like that, I'm a good person.

288

What happened?

289

It is you who murdered someone

and made me caught into the prison.

290

I, I ……

291

Mu Le.

292

I can be polite, but he surely can't.

293

I don't know what you are talking about.

294

I never killed anyone, that's crime!

295

Ni Gu, at this very critical point

296

why are you still so greedy for money at the cost of your life?

297

What will happen to me if you are dead?

298

I don't know what you are talking about.

299

I never killed anyone! I'm innocent!

300

Sir, don't listen to him,

301

that's all he stole, we only spent a few of them,

the others are right here.

302

Where is the painting?

303

What painting?

304

All the money is here and you are asking for a painting?

305

I don't know what you are talking about.

306

- I really have no idea.

- No.

307

I don't know what you are talking about.

308

I remember now! I remember!

309

I, I….. I remember!

310

Tell me!

311

I remember in the casino,

I saw him with a package with a painting in it.

312

- Small, small, small.

- Place your bet.

313

- Small, small, small.

- Open it!

314

Small, small, small.

315

It's five, six and six, total seventeen, the big one.

316

Sir, you're so lucky.

317

Just for pleasure.

318

You won so much just for pleasure?

319

I admire you.

320

I'm illiterate, I even don't know many words,

321

what what what……can I do with a painting?

322

all all all ……all I want is money.

323

I I I……I don't want that painting.

324

Are you sure you never saw that painting?

325

No no no…… never. I didn't see it.

326

My life is depending on you. I, I……I don't have the balls to lie.

327

Go with me and confess your crime in county court.

328

Ni Gu!

329

Thanks to you,

330

now the thing is clear. You can take your horse boy back.

331

Well,

332

what's the painting you were talking about?

333

None of your business.

334

Now you're denying our cooperation? Just now you……

335

What a lunatic!

336

and you!

337

you always run into trouble in the outside.

338

Go back!

339

Jiang Ren, how are you in the other world?

340

Don't worry, you are my servant,

341

I won't let you die in vain.

342

I will kill Ye Yuan'an and Zhao Lanzhi for revenge.

343

Infanta Minghui, the State Preceptor is asking for you.

344

What's it all about?

345

He offered to exchange the Bead with this painting.

346

The one which is the Empress's favorite,

347

the Painting of Basjoo Tree.

348

To my surprise, you would find a way to succeed.

349

Minghui,

350

you stole the painting under her nose.

351

It's not that hard,

352

all you need to do is to buy an eunuch over

then ask him to do it.

353

But what's the matter of it?

354

I can't understand what it means.

Why does he keep asking for it?

355

Don't worry, State Preceptor,

356

all we want is the Nine Divine Beads,

357

we can have his Bead once we give him the painting.

358

Where did Huo Yang find you?

359

In front of the Jiang Ren's tomb.

360

He is just a servant, his life doesn't mean anything.

361

Don't ruin our deal just for your own desire.

362

I see.

363

Infanta Minghui.

364

Do me a favor.

365

Xia.

366

Miss.

367

Get me some hot water and unguent.

368

Give me your hand.

369

You……

370

Are you kidding me? Where's your wound?

371

Zhao Lanzhi said you might not be a normal person.

372

Are you really a monster?

373

Alright, never mind.

374

You are still my servant, even if you are a monster.

375

Keep it properly.

376

But I'm also the one to be blamed,

377

if I have stopped my mom that day

and trust you no matter what,

378

you won't be kicked out and get beaten up.

379

I'm sorry.

380

Don't worry about the future.

381

As long as I'm here, no one can bully you.

382

You're so nice to me.

383

You must be hungry. Wait a minute.

384

It's still warm.

385

But I'm telling you, don't go to the basement ever after,

386

if you have to deliver the meal, just put it at the gate.

387

don't get contact with that freak.

388

Right, I'm telling you, he went too far last time,

389

we have to find a way to pay back.

390

I finally get you!

391

Try the medicine for me! Try it!

392

Try it for me!

393

Don't run away!

394

I have improved it.

395

It won't be the same as the last time. Don't worry.

396

It's true! Don't be afraid!

397

If you are scared, I can help you with a straw.

398

Here, look, it's in, now open your mouth, say Ah......

399

Mu Le!

400

You, you……

401

So hot! I can't stand it!

402

So hot!

403

How can you two treat me like that!?

404

Bullying the elder!

405

So hot! I can't stand it!

406

Ye Yuan'an, wait for my revenge!

407

As for what he did to you , he deserves it.

408

Let's go.

409

According to your inference, he is not the murder?

410

The fatal injury is in the throat,

411

not in the abdomen the suspect mentioned.

412

Look, sir, there's not much blood left.

413

As you can see, he was dead at the time the suspect stabbed him.

414

The blood didn't came out because it was concreting.

415

As for the throat,

416

through the precision of the wound,

It must be a master of martial arts.

417

The victim get killed without detection.

418

So, there are more than murderers in the murder scene.

419

The one who killed him is not the one caught by you.

420

Before he entered the room, eunuch Cao had been killed,

421

and the killer took the painting stolen from palace

but not the money of the victim.

422

So that the murderer killed him

not for the money, but for that painting.

423

Therefore,

424

the one who asked Cao Yi to steal the painting,

must be someone he knew.

425

Young Master, he is up there.

426

Yuanning, this is Mr.Huo who I mentioned before.

427

Mr.Huo, this is the son of Mr.Ye,the Assistant Minister of Finance.

428

Mr. Huo, sorry to bother you.

429

Please,

430

Mr. Ye, I assume that you've already known who I am.

431

I have plenty of money,

432

but only in the condition that you offered a treasure.

433

Let me see.

434

This is the bottle made of matton-fat jade,

the treasure that my grandfather collected.

435

I believe this is enough to clear my debts.

436

-What is that?

-What happened?

437

What have you done!?

438

You destroyed my treasure!

439

Compensate for it!

440

You little brat dare to play with me?

441

Do you have any idea that how many the treasures I've ever seen?

442

You dare to play with me?

443

I will gouge your eyes out.

444

Mr.Huo please be nice.

445

Yes.

446

I don't know that you have such sharp eyes,

447

I still got others, spare me one day, only one day.

448

Easy to say,

449

where should I go to find you if you run away?

450

You, go back and tell your master that

your young master have debts he can't pay.

451

If you don't exchange his life with a real treasure

452

and bring it to the Luotian Cave of Jinyun Mountain,

453

then I will kill him.

454

Go.

455

(Horse-whispering)

456

Where are you going?

457

Miss, Miss,

458

The young master did business and lost plenty of money,

459

he wanted to pay for the debts with antique jade bottle,

460

but the debtee doesn't see it's worthy,

destroyed it once we offered.

461

He even kidnapped the young master and asked me to report.

462

Miss, I beg you to save the young master's life.

463

He would die if you are late.

464

We have lost some valuable paintings and porcelains

465

once he became the horse boy in the Mansion.

466

Where is he?

467

Luotian Cave of Jinyun Mountain.

468

Miss,

469

Miss.

470

Go away.

471

Where are you going?

472

To save my brother's life.

473

I'll go with you.

474

It's none of your business.

475

It is mine as long as you concern about it.

476

I will go wherever you go.

477

Go away.

478

Promise you won't be a drag on me.

479

Go.

480

Why is there no one here?

481

Just now we saw so many people.

482

Maybe they have swim through the river.

483

Try the depth of the lake.

484

Go.

485

How did those people go through it

with the dangerous things in the water?

486

You want to know the answer?

487

Who are you?

488

That's not important.

489

The thing you should know is

490

no stranger can go into the Luotian Cave.

491

Unless someone familiar leads you in,

you will die for sure.

492

Are you sure that you can help me go through

with the weird fishes in the water?

493

Believe it or not,

494

this is your only chance, miss it and you will have nothing.

495

So, are you in?

496

Who is he?

497

My horse boy.

498

He must be capable otherwise you won't take him here.

499

It's none of your business.

500

You must go to sell some treasures in Luotian Cave.

501

It's our destiny to meet, why don't you show me your treasures?

502

I'm going to save my brother's life.

503

Are you afraid that I'm a robber?

504

I'm just curious.

505

If you don't agree, you can leave the boat now.

506

It's not that valuable. Here you are.

507

I'm telling you,

508

Emperor Gaozu granted it as a reward to my grand grandfather.

509

I will never give it out if it were not for my brother's life.

510

I'm here to save my brother Ye Yuanning.

511

Lead the way.

512

Good luck.

513

Sister!

514

Are you, are you here to save me?

515

Don't panic.

516

Here is the treasure. Leave my brother free.

517

How moving the scene is,

that the sister is worried about her brother's life.

518

But what a pity,

We have a deal that it should be done before the night falls.

519

Now, it's midnight, the Ghost Market have opened.

520

We are businessman, we have our rules.

521

Pardon me, Miss Ye.

522

It's because that you're a businessman,

you have the duty to accept money and do you job.

523

Leave my brother free.

524

Mu Le!

525

How dare you to fight me with your feeble Kung Fu.

526

You're a businessman. Don't be so harsh on us.

527

We have taken the treasure here

and my servant is injured.

528

Both sides will lose if you go too far.

529

You're right, Miss Ye.

530

As the old saying,

nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards.

531

It's a lesson for you.

532

The Ghost Market is opening, here is a deal,

533

if you are lucky enough to sell it here and now, you may leave;

534

if you are not, and can't sell it, then don't you blame me.

535

Deal.

536

Okay.

537

Show it out, quickly!

538

Don't keep us guessing!

539

The girl is new here, so I wonder what treasure she brought in.

540

We can't buy it, if you don't say anything.

541

- Right?

- Yes.

542

Miss Ye, show us the treasure.

543

This is the treasured sword

544

that the Emperor Gaozu granted to my grand grandfather

545

for he did a great job protecting him.

546

It is the real one.

547

If it were not for my brother's life, I will never take it out for sale.

548

I hope the treasured sword will get by a good master here.

549

The Emperor Gaozu didn't grant many treasures,

I did hear of a sword among them.

550

if it's real, then it will worth a whole city.

551

Miss, it's a good advertisement.

552

But in Luotian Cave, the advertising is not working.

553

Only by showing it, we can tell whether it's that worthy.

554

Right?

555

Show us!

556

Let's have a look!

557

Now you can see the treasured sword from the Emperor Gaozu.

558

Show us! Show us!

559

Come on!
