Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu, open the door.

Didn’t you say we were going to eat?

Why are we coming to your house?

Really.

I get it, you have a great chef at home, right?

Uncle Fu, we’re back.

Serve the food—oh, no, open the door.

Something’s wrong.

Uncle Fu.

Be careful.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky,

you dare commit crimes in the capital.

Do you have no respect for the law?

That knife.

Who are you?

We didn’t catch Duan, and now there’s trouble here.

None of us will make it back alive.

The wind is not on our side, let’s go.

I’ll handle these thieves, brother, you save the people.

Uncle Fu, are you alright?

Let’s go.

Damn, he saw us.

This is trouble for me.

Uncle Fu, let me help you.

Young master, did something happen to the master?

Someone said, said the master died in service.

That’s a lie, right?

Uncle Fu, trust me, I can definitely find my father.

Uncle Fu, what were those thieves doing in my house?

You and the master went out and didn’t come back all night.

So I went to the North Zhenfu Division early to inquire.

But the gate had new guards, they wouldn’t let me in.

So I had to come back.

As soon as I entered, I saw those guys.

They were ransacking the master’s study.

Young master, quickly check the study.

See if anything is missing.

Alright.

What about those guys?

As soon as I went out, I saw that Xu Chan kid.

I don’t want to be thrown into the North Zhenfu Division’s prison again.

Do you recognize this hidden weapon?

Never seen it, it doesn’t look like a Central Plains weapon.

Brother Yuan, from my years of experience handling cases,

those black-clad men weren’t ordinary thieves.

So, is it possible your old man,

hid something very valuable in this house?

Like calligraphy by Wang Xizhi,

or Li Bai’s boots,

or a waistband belonging to Gongsun Da Niang?

No, no, no, anyone who dared send stuff to my house before,

ended up being investigated and thrown in jail by my father.

How could there be anything valuable?

Really, there isn’t.

Look at the situation here.

Those guys were so desperate.

They must have been looking for some treasure.

The only treasure of the Yuan family,

is this heirloom Gold-Inlaid Knife.

I remember my father did it like this.

You’re looking for a secret door, right?

Here, let me do it.

Alright.

Ah, what is that?

Why are you shouting like that?

Brother Yuan.

Is your house usually haunted?

Your house is haunted.

Take a good look.

Why is this thing placed here?

My father never let me enter here.

I don’t know if it hides some secret.

Brother Yuan.

This crossbow is fun, give it to me.

Don’t mess with things here.

Minister Shen of the Ministry of Personnel, March 12th,

accidentally fell into the river and drowned.

Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Justice, March 19th,

fell off his horse and died during a parade when the horse was startled.

Minister Sun of the Ministry of Revenue, May 5th,

died of a sudden illness after visiting a brothel.

Sorry, sorry.

Brother Yuan.

I just wanted to see if this thing works well.

Overturned nest,

Under an overturned nest, how can there be intact eggs? This is...

Each death seems accidental,

but too many accidents become suspicious.

Moreover, the deceased were all high-ranking officials.

This is a long-planned conspiracy.

My father discovered the doubts within, so...

Discovered what?

Nothing.

If there’s nothing, I’ll go find something to eat.

Where’s your kitchen?

This matter is deeply involved and very significant.

This Shi Yaoshan is smooth-talking, can’t be trusted.

This letter must be handled properly.

I said, why not eat before leaving?

Not good.

It’s them.

Not good, it’s that guy.

Brother Yuan, I’ll hide first.

Don’t move.

The poor-quality rouge smell was too strong earlier.

I didn’t realize it was you.

Captain Shi, we meet again.
