An Oriental Odyssey

Episode 27

26

I think so.

27

Where is Miss?

28

Dad.

29

I'm sleeping. Why do you wake me up?

30

You are so impolite.

31

Sir Zhao brings the present Empress has granted.

32

You should thank him.

33

Mr. Zhao, I have other business to do. You may talk first.

34

Please excuse me for a while.

35

This is the dendrobium from the imperial garden.

36

Do you like it?

37

Thank you, Empress.

38

By the way,

39

I heard from my dad

that Empress praised you in front of all officials.

40

And you have been promoted.

41

You were so amazing!

42

Are you serious?

43

Why not?

44

Even if we are acquaintances,

45

I certainly hope you will have a promising future.

46

We have experienced so many things together.

47

How can we just are acquaintances?

48

Is that not enough?

49

I have regretted knowing you.

50

How's Mu Le?

51

He's dead. I buried him.

52

Do you still hate me on Mu Le's death?

53

Are you resenting me so much?

54

Zhao Lanzhi, what did you say at that time?

55

I told you to capture him alive.

56

But you should attack him secretly.

57

How many times did I explain to you?

58

I didn't do that.

59

Why don't you believe me?

60

Yuan'an.

61

You're brave and like to take risks.

62

You're an interesting girl.

63

But I'd like to remind you

64

you must do things in a proper way.

65

Then, tell me.

66

Who is the man you sent for?

67

I mean the one treated my disease.

68

I have told you many times. He's a quack doctor.

69

But Master Ye told me that he's a distant relative.

70

Who lied to me?

71

You can answer my question later.

72

You look pale.

73

Go and have a good rest.

74

Remember what I said today.

75

You can play tricks.

76

But you can never disregard the law.

77

What is the law?

78

You are just the law, Sir Zhao.

79

Deputy Minister of Court of Judicature and Revision.

80

You're now a dignitary before Empress.

81

Listen, Zhao Lanzhi. I hate you very much now.

82

You just care about reasoning, not about feelings.

83

Now that you're so indifferent,

84

then we never see each other again after your leaving this gate.

85

Sir, please.

86

These are the materials and testimonies

of the massacre at Ci'en Temple

87

and order for arrest signed by Emperor.

88

Sir.

89

This was the criminal Chen Tianshu's portrait.

90

OK, I knew it.

91

When I was in Annam, I got a tip-off.

92

I traced him.

93

But he escaped successfully.

94

Later, I came to the Court and I was busy then.

95

Without any clues, this case was laid up.

96

Do you have any new clues about this case?

97

This was a major case then.

98

But it has been a long time since the case happened.

99

So no one would investigate it.

100

If you can solve the case, that will a merit deed.

101

Yuan'an.

102

I have already doubted that there was someone

helping you secretly.

103

But you denied it.

104

You played tricks many times.

105

I didn't take it seriously because I thought you were innocent.

106

I also hoped that person wouldn't be Chen Tianshu.

107

Person on the portrait was him.

108

It can not be wrong.

109

Yuan'an, how dare you!

110

You dare to hide the bandits and the wanted criminal!

111

Are we foes?

112

No way.

113

Now that I saw him,

114

I can't let you get away.

115

Chen Tianshu.

116

I must arrest you!

117

Yuan'an!

118

Yuan'an, tell me.

119

Who is the person you invited to our mansion?

120

Now, Zhao Lanzhi works at Court of Judicature and Revision.

121

He's specialized in unsolved cases.

122

He asked me about Chen Tianshu today without reasons,

123

Did Zhao Lanzhi make you scared?

124

He just asked you a question.

125

You're Minister of Finance. Your position is higher than him.

126

Why are you so worried?

127

Nonsense.

128

I think this person is strange.

129

What's his name?

130

Where does he come from?

131

Dad. After he came out of the basement,

132

he saved my life and also gave you some advice.

133

He helped our family so much.

134

Why do you keep asking since we live in peace with each other?

135

Does it make sense if I tell you his name?

136

Li Shimin, is that OK?

137

You are so fussy.

138

You can't mention late Emperor's name at your will.

139

Are you kidding?

140

Do you want to be beheaded?

141

I don't know who he is.

142

But I know he is powerful than us.

143

No.

144

I can't keep him here.

145

Listen!

146

You send him away now!

147

I can't get rid of him as soon as he has done his job.

148

You must do it!

149

It hurts.

150

It hurts.

151

Your Majesty.

152

Your Majesty.

153

Are you all right? Your Majesty.

154

You idiots!

155

Tell me, what did Your Majesty eat?

156

Why did Emperor have a headache again within the few days?

157

Send for the imperial doctor.

158

Yes.

159

Your Majesty.

160

Mei Niang.

161

Don't blame them.

162

I had a nightmare just now.

163

Give me the elixir State Preceptor gave me before.

164

I would be better if I take the elixir.

165

Fetch the elixir quickly!

166

It really hurts!

167

Empress, the elixir has been disposed according to your order.

168

Send for State Preceptor.

169

Yes, Your Majesty.

170

Your Majesty.

171

Your Majesty.

172

Your majesty hasn't had a headache for a long time.

173

Why did your headache recur suddenly?

174

State Preceptor.

175

To tell the truth,

176

I had a nightmare just now.

177

Guards!

178

Guards!

179

Help! Guards! Help!

180

Help! Help!

181

Help me! Guards! Help!

182

I think Your Majesty is always busy with state affairs.

183

It was caused by tension.

184

It was not that serious.

185

But I think the dream is so strange.

186

I think there is another story behind it.

187

State Preceptor, if you see through something,

please say it directly.

188

State Preceptor, this is related to Your Majesty's health,

189

please feel free to speak your mind.

190

19 years ago, Master San Zang died.

191

Junior fellow Tianshu killed his fellows

and committed crime of massacre.

192

Does Empress still remember this?

193

Yes, of course.

194

In that tragic massacre,

195

you protected Master San Zang's body.

196

Tianshu was listed as a wanted criminal by Your Majesty.

197

But he hasn't been arrested till today.

198

19 years have passed since that massacre happened.

199

What do you mean?

200

I mean Your Majesty's pain can just be eased temporarily.

201

That case hasn't been solved.

202

So there is still resentment.

203

The dream just reminds Your Majesty

that Tianshu must be arrested

204

to comfort the dead.

205

Otherwise, Your Majesty's disease...

206

I see. That case must be solved.

207

Arrest Tianshu.

208

Your Majesty.

209

19 years have passed.

210

We didn't know whether he is still alive.

211

How can we arrest him as soon as possible?

212

State Preceptor, what's your opinion?

213

Your Majesty.

214

I have profound feud with Tianshu.

215

I have never forgotten that over the years.

216

I have always been trying to find him.

217

In recent months,

218

I heard some news.

219

What do you mean?

220

You mean you know where he hides?

221

Your Highness.

222

I have been tracing Tianshu at the order of State Preceptor.

223

Thankfully, I know where he hides now.

224

He's now in Luoyang

225

at Minister of Finance Ye Fucheng's mansion.

226

Ye Fucheng?

227

How dare he!

228

We don't know whether Master Ye is related to this case.

229

But it is his daughter who hides Tianshu.

230

Yuan'an?

231

She's so young. How can she interfere in this case?

232

No more questions.

233

Search Ye's mansion and arrest Tianshu without any delay.

234

If anyone wants to cover up something, then arrest him too.

235

Minghui, are you sure?

236

If Tianshu is not in Ye Fucheng's mansion,

237

I will accept any punishment.

238

However, even with Your Majesty's order,

239

I'm not an official or military officer,

I dare not to take this responsibility.

240

Then who can do this?

241

I recommend deputy minister of Court of Judicature and Revision,

Zhao Lanzhi.

242

OK.

243

Give my order.

244

Zhao Lanzhi shall investigate this case this very night.

245

If everything is verified, Tianshu must be arrested.

246

Yes, Your Majesty.

247

Keep an eye an Zhao Lanzhi.

248

Yes.

249

Her Highness commanded

250

that Zhao Lanzhi shall lead the troop to Ye Fucheng's mansion.

251

Arrest the criminal Chen Tianshu.

252

Sir, it's so late in the night.

253

Why did you bring so many people to my mansion.

254

Empress commanded that I arrest Chen Tianshu in your mansion.

255

What? Chen Tianshu?

256

That man turns out to be Chen Tianshu.

257

Sir Zhao.

258

I think there must be some misunderstandings.

259

I'm going to the imperial palace now to report to her highness.

260

Master Ye, I have an imperial edict with me.

261

Don't make things difficult for me.

262

Master, what's the matter?

263

Do they want to confiscate our property.

264

It must be my sister!

265

Yuan'an got me into troubles again.

266

Search the mansion.

267

Sir Zhao.

268

Sir Zhao.

269

Search every dark room and compartment.

270

Search every corner!

271

Besides.

272

Search the visiting card of every Ye's relative.

273

Sir Zhao.

274

It's late in the night.

275

What do you want to do in my mansion?

276

I reported to Master Ye just now.

277

I search for wanted crime Chen Tianshu

at the command of Empress.

278

Then I think you made a trip in vain.

279

- I have never heard of this person.

- Yuan'an.

280

Empress must be assured, so she asked me to arrest him.

281

You and I know who he is and where he hides.

282

Surrender Chen Tianshu.

283

I'll beg leniency for you before Empress.

284

So what? You have Empress' imperial edict.

285

Do as you wish.

286

Sir, no suspect.

287

No suspicious darkrooms and compartments.

288

There is no suspicious person on the mansion's visiting cards.

289

Sir, there is something suspicious in the basement.

290

Show me.

291

Yes, sir.

292

What is it?

293

The basement where I place sundries.

294

Open the basement.

295

Search it!

296

Zhao Lanzhi, we're good friends.

297

It's unnecessary to do this.

298

Yuan'an, I'm on duty under Your Majesty's command.

299

You should know that the law is ruthless.

300

Search!

301

Quickly!

302

What's that?

303

Go! quickly!

304

Quickly!

305

Sir, there is nothing in it.

306

There are only a few monkeys.

307

Where did you hide Chen Tianshu?

308

I have told you, Sir.

309

You see. I'm so sorry.

310

Never tell others that I raise some monkeys in the basement.

311

It's not so good.

312

Where on earth did you hide Chen Tianshu?

313

What are you talking about?

314

Sir, you brought so many people here.

315

You bothered us for the whole night.

316

It's nearly dawn.

317

The breakfast is going to be prepared.

318

Let's have breakfast together.

319

The steamed bun made by our chef is yummy.

320

Master Ye.

321

There is no suspect in your mansion.

322

That's the best result.

323

I will report it to Empress tomorrow.

324

Dispel her doubts.

325

OK, that's all right.

326

Let's go.

327

Dad, I'm starving.

328

Let's eat steamed buns.

329

Shut up!

330

Yuan'an.

331

Tell me the truth.

332

I know you still don't send him away.

333

There were so many soldiers last night.

334

Where did you hide him?

335

Dad.

336

Leave me alone.

337

I'm so worried. It's a big matter.

338

Tell me. Where did you hide him?

339

Have some food.

340

It's yummy.

341

I have no appetite.

342

Young master, this is Biluochun tea prepared for you.

343

Look!

344

Where on earth did you hide him?

345

What?

346

He's here.

347

Master, this is the criminal.

348

The soldiers didn't find him.

349

I thought Yuan'an had sent him away.

350

Well.

351

Master, what should we do now?

352

Yuan'an, you told me before

353

that you had sent him away.

354

Why did he still stay in our mansion?

355

The most dangerous place is the safest one.

356

He walked before soldiers for the whole night.

357

Who recognized him?

358

So tell me which place is safer than our mansion?

359

Sister, I have tolerated you for a long time.

360

Things become terrible.

361

I don't care.

362

I now take this old guy to Zhao Lanzhi.

363

Listen.

364

He saved my life.

365

What did you do? Get lost!

366

How dare you!

367

He's your little brother.

368

Do you want to hide him all the time?

369

I know.

370

You uphold your code of brotherhood.

371

But you just care about yourself.

372

You're so selfish.

373

Tell me, do you care about us?

374

Do you ever think of our life?

375

Stop! All right, I will go.

376

Miss, that's OK.

377

You have done a lot of favors for me over the years.

378

We're even now.

379

I wanna go, bye.

380

Let me give you a ride.

381

Yuan'an.

382

Master.

383

Stop!

384

Sir.

385

Who is in the carriage?

386

A relative of Master Ye.

387

Show me.

388

Ferry boat is coming soon.

389

Rowing 30 miles along this river will lead you out of Luoyang.

390

Got it.

391

There is a passport and some silver ingots in the parcel.

392

I can't help you with other things.

393

If you have nowhere to stay, you can go to Wanxing Temple

394

I have a good relationship with Master there.

395

Just tell him my name.

396

OK. When do you become so verbose?

397

I just don't believe in others but myself.

398

You saved me many times and helped me a lot.

399

You also teach me a lot.

400

The other day you said

401

that people shouldn't covet the luck of getting together.

402

But it happens so quickly.

403

All right, the affairs of the world are inconstant.

404

Everything in this world is destined.

405

We may meet with each other by chance some day.

406

We'll meet each other.

407

Stop it.

408

It's a shame that I haven't had a disciple till now.

409

Some day in the future,

410

if I could have a disciple like you, I would be satisfied.

411

Really?

412

Stop fleeing.

413

Why do you come here?

414

If I didn't know you, I wouldn't know you are so tricky.

415

And I wouldn't run after you.

416

You certainly hide this man in your mansion.

417

Where are you going now?

418

I came here. You must stop that!

419

You have recovered your Kungfu?

420

Empress rewarded me with medicine made from Snow Lotus Herb.

421

Don't you remember who saved your life?

422

That's quite another matter.

423

He saved me, so I owed to him.

424

But he is a wanted criminal of the imperial court.

425

Zhao Lanzhi, you're so heartless.

426

I won't let you go.

427

Let go of me.

428

Run! Quickly!

429

Let go of me.

430

No.

431

Chen Tianshu.

432

You have killed so many people.

433

How could you eat and sleep well over the past 19 years?

434

Over the past 19 years,

435

I never skip meals or sleep less.

436

Do you know the reason?

437

I was judged unfairly.

438

Well, now that you were judged unfairly,

439

then defend yourself at the law court.

440

Empress will prove your innocence.

441

There's no fairness in this world.

442

So does the past 19 years.

443

How does fairness exist today?

444

Blood.

445

Zhao Lanzhi, you beat me.

446

It's bleeding.

447

That sucks.

448

It hurts! I can't get up.

449

Come on.

450

All right. Don't cry.

451

You're so stubborn.

452

Have you heard the expression "behave yourself"?

453

What if he was unjustly trialed?

454

That's absurd!

455

Please.

456

Please let him go.

457

I also want to let go of him.

458

But if...

459

Well.

460

Yuan'an is right. I owe you a life.

461

I pretend not to see you today.

462

All right.

463

Miss.

464

I remember your brotherhood.

465

See you again if we are lucky.

466

You see that.

467

He can do it without a boat.

468

So If you want to fight against him, you would lose.

469

I knew it.

470

If so, I still want to try.

471

Yuan'an.

472

I hope you can understand that I do this just for you.

473

I'm not a heartless and cruel person in your mind.

474

You see. I didn't bring a single soldier here.

475

You are not stupid.

476

I'm not the person like you.

477

What are you gonna do?

478

I'll report to Empress and tell her

I didn't find Chen Tianshu at Ye's mansion.

479

You will tell a lie.

480

This is the ultimate lese-majeste.

481

I'm sorry.

482

Your Highness.

483

I have searched every inch of Minister of Finance Ye's mansion.

484

But I didn't find any traces of Chen Tianshu.

485

It seems that we mistaken Yuan'an on this matter.

486

I felt strange about this.

487

Why does Ye's daughter hide Chen Tianshu?

488

Your Highness, Princess Minghui wants to greet you.

489

A good timing. Let her in.

490

Your Highness.

491

Minghui, I'm going to ask you some questions.

492

I have ordered Zhao Lanzhi to search Ye's mansion.

493

But he didn't find the evil monk Chen Tianshu.

494

What do you think then?

495

Empress, I just come here for this.

496

The truth is opposite to what Sir Zhao said.

497

Go ahead.

498

Sir Zhao searched Ye's mansion at your command.

499

But he was almost there.

500

I designated someone to supervise Miss Ye Yuan'an.

501

Until the late midnight,

502

he saw a carriage driving out from the back door of Ye's mansion.

503

I think Chen Tianshu was sent away by Ye Yuan'an.

504

So Sir Zhao and soldiers didn't find evil monk at the mansion.

505

Princess, don't talk nonsense.

506

Sir Zhao.

507

I just tell the truth.

508

You may leave out some details when handling the case.

509

I just add more details.

510

Don't you agree with what I said?

511

Or you just hide something?

512

No.

513

If so, what's your plan for this case?

514

Your Highness.

515

This is related to Emperor's health

516

and the massacre which happened 19 years ago.

517

Ye Yuan'an hid evil monk Chen Tianshu,

518

so only she knows the whereabouts of him.

519

I think we should imprison Ye Yuan'an at Ministry of Penalty.

520

We can let her tell the truth by torturing during interrogation.

521

What if you're wrong?

522

I guarantee that with my head. It won't be wrong.

523

Well, Minghui.

524

I give you one more time.

525

You can handle this case.

526

Princess, you frame up Ye Yuan'an again and again.

527

What do you want?

528

Sir Zhao.

529

I don't understand what you are talking about.

530

I didn't frame up Ye Yuan'an.

531

I just told the truth.

532

As deputy minister of Court of Judicature and Revision,

533

you didn't handle things fairly.

534

You were lying just now.

535

Ye Yuan'an didn't send Chen Tianshu in the late night.

536

Yes, not in the night, but at daytime.

537

She set free Chen Tianshu just under your nose.

538

I mistook the time.

539

But you released the suspect.

540

That is a lese-majeste.

541

I was talking about her instead of you just now.

542

How would you like to thank me?

543

You followed me.

544

Yes, right.

545

Why?

546

You ask me why?

547

You bent the law for the benefit of your friend.

548

Why did you ask me that?

549

Don't get in my way.

550

Princess.

551

If anything bad happen to Yuan'an,

552

then don't blame me for being ruthless.

553

Sir Zhao.

554

Behave yourself.

555

What are you doing here?

556

You didn't report that you hid evil monk Chen Tianshu.

557

I'm here to arrest you.

558

The mansion has been searched.

559

Why are you still bothering me?

560

Dad, she's finding fault with us.

561

I knew you were a bad person.

562

Arrest me? How dare you!

563

Take care!

564

- Yuan'an.

- Miss.

565

Tie up the suspect Ye Yuan'an and arrest her.

566

Wait.

567

Princess, where are you going to take her?

568

The prison of Ministry of Penalty.

569

Princess, please.

570

Please don't torture her.

571

Master Ye.

572

If your daughter is found guilty,

then you seek blessings for yourself.

573

Don't worry about her.

574

Let's go.

575

Young master.

576

- Young master.

- Yuan'an.

577

- Yuan'an.

- Dad.

578

What should we do now? Master.

579

Dad, will we be implicated in sister's crime?

580

Master!

581

- Dad!

- Master.

582

Send for the doctor!

583

- Quickly! Send for the doctor!

- Yes!

584

- Master!

- Dad!

585

Wait, Sir Zhao.

586

This is the prison of Ministry of Penalty.

587

Any entrance or exit must be approved by the official document.

588

Do you have it?

589

I...

590

I don't have it.

591

Then leave here sir.

592

Listen.

593

I have a good idea.

594

You cooperate with me and tell me directly

595

where you hid old monk Tianshu.

596

Well, I don't think it is a good idea.

597

Besides, I don't know what you are talking about.

598

If you don't agree, I will try this scalding iron on you.

599

I'm merciful, so I just have a try on you.

600

Sounds great.

601

I just want a tattoo recently.

602

so just do me a favor.

603

I'm afraid my father would scold me.

604

You want to leave a scar on me.

605

I can tell my father frankly.

606

Who tells you I will scald your body?

607

I'll put it into your mouth!

608

Make you swallow it.

609

Don't you remember? Ye Yuan'an.

610

How did you put dirty food in my mouth at Huodu Hill.

611

So I treated you like this.

612

This is called an eye for an eye.

613

Say it or not?

614

OK, I'll tell you.

615

Say it!

616

- I admit that you are more beautiful and pretty than me.

- Open your mouth!

617

- Your eyes are bigger.

- Stop!

618

Zhao Lanzhi, how could you come in here?

619

Princess Minghui, I have something to say.

620

That's OK.

621

You two can talk in front of me.

622

Why are you talking in secret?

623

Is it shameful?

624

Come back, Zhao Lanzhi.

625

Sir, I'm very busy.

626

What do you want to say?

627

I want to ask for a favor.

628

What do I owe to you?

629

At Huodu Hill, I took poisonous darts for you.

630

So could you please not torture Yuan'an during interrogation?

631

You were willing to take poisonous darts for me.

632

I didn't owe you.

633

Sir Zhao. I just do this under imperial edict.

634

Please don't blend official business with private ones.

635

I think I have already told you clearly.

636

What can make you let her go?

637

Sir Zhao I think there are some misunderstandings.

638

I just do what I should do.

639

I'm not targeting at Yuan'an. Please go back.

640

Yes.

641

You are honorable Princess and relative of the imperial family.

642

I'm not in a position to negotiate with you.

643

So I kneel down to beg to you.

644

Please give her a way out.

645

You are willing to kneel for her?

646

Why are you so obsessed with her that you even kneel for her?

647

Tell me!

648

In other people's eyes, she may not be good enough.

649

But she's Yuan'an.
