[Episode 27]

Guards.

Pass down the order.

I am deeply grieved

by the death of Commandant Bi Qiu.

You must thoroughly investigate this matter.

Starting from today,

seal the city gates.

Do not let anyone escape.

I will personally interrogate any suspicious person.

Yes.

Thank you, Great Chief,

for helping Bi Qiu just now.

He could be free from suffering earlier.

Today, I need to go to South Mountain to console his family.

His father raises pigeons on the South Mountain all day long.

However, his son died before him.

When I return,

I will discuss with you

about capturing and killing the Half-faced Demon.

Governor Mo, please restrain your grief.

Raise pigeons?

I'm afraid that Governor Mo Qianzhi of Yingzhou

is plotting treason.

I command you to secretly investigate it.

When a gray messenger pigeon arrives,

a message can be sent.

Could it be Bi Qiu

was the secret agent that the Empress Dowager planted in Yingzhou?

Bi Qiu should act as the relay station for my messages.

It's okay.

What's wrong?

I think

I know why Bi Qiu died,

but I cannot say it.

It's okay.

If you don't want to say it, just don't.

Shen Du,

do you trust me?

If one day,

your close kin and I

stand on the opposing side,

can you still trust me?

Aren't you

my close kin?

[Li's Tea Stall]

I'm sorry.

It seems this tip-off is incorrect.

The tip-off claims

there are traces of the Half-faced Demon outside the city.

But we don't see the Half-faced Demon.

There isn't anyone around.

Bro,

excuse me.

What happened today?

Why both inside and outside the city,

even the vendors hawking

are nowhere to be seen?

Young man,

you must be new to this place.

This is too coincidental.

Yesterday morning, the Half-faced Demon

killed the Commandant Bi Qiu in the government office.

I heard it was a gruesome scene.

Even the skin was peeled off.

Who would dare to go out now?

I'm in a hurry to deliver medicine to my mother outside the city.

That's why I came out.

I must go now.

At around

the second watch of the Yin hour,

the Half-faced Demon committed murder in the government office.

Only us and the people in the office know it.

How did the citizens of the city

know about this?

Indeed, this matter is quite peculiar.

Unless someone deliberately made it known,

how could everyone in Yingzhou

know about it?

It turned into a ghost town in a single day.

Senior Clerk Yan, Marshal Sun has sent a message.

At the city gate, the Half-faced Demon is holding the citizens hostage.

Please hurry over.

The moths flying to the flame.

Born in the morning, dead by evening.

Not entering the cycle of death.

The immortal cycle of rebirth.

What are they doing?

They are performing a ritual.

Great Chief.

[East City Gate] Good, everyone who should be here has arrived.

Next, I'll show you how to eat a person.

This knife is Western Regions' curved blade.

The murder weapon used to behead Li Kaixiang.

Half-faced Demon,

what on earth are you planning to do?

To appease the gods.

Let them bestow blessings.

Half-faced Demon,

if you don't want to die without a whole corpse,

let them go.

Stop, what the heck are you doing?

Mo Qianzhi?

You've come at just the right time.

The day of Sanyang is almost upon us.

Release the five ladies.

Everything is open to negotiation.

Well, we'll see how sincere you are.

If you agree to my terms

and stop investigating the case of the Half-faced Demon from this day onward,

I will release them.

If you do not agree,

the entire Yingzhou

will become a city of death.

Shut up!

How dare you speak so shamelessly!

Commandant Bi Qiu devoted himself wholeheartedly to the people.

The people of Yingzhou all know this.

Yet you cruelly murdered,

flayed, and dismembered him,

tormenting him harshly.

You are simply devoid of any humanity.

So you won't agree?

Do you want the people of this entire city die

or do you want them?

Take action.

Darn it, kill them!

Close the city gate, release the arrows.

Pan Chi!

My senior, stop, you mustn't do this.

The Half-faced Demon has harmed the innocent.

He must be killed.

How is he?

I won't die.

The dart is poisoned, we need to stop the bleeding quickly.

Stay here.

Don't come out.

Bear with it.

Pan Chi, bear with it.

Pan Chi, don't fall asleep.

Don't fall asleep.

Pan Chi.

Pan Chi, don't fall asleep.

Pan Chi.

I never thought

that one day you would hold a knife

against my neck.

Stop shooting the arrows.

I'm afraid I cannot obey.

It's not easy to have this opportunity

to get rid of the Half-faced Demon.

We can't let him off the hook.

For the sake of the people of Yingzhou,

better to wrongfully kill than to let go.

If there is accidental harm,

at worst, I can compensate with my life.

To execute an imperial official is a capital offense.

Great Chief Shen,

do not threaten me with execution.

I am wholeheartedly serving the people.

I just want to eliminate the Half-faced Demon

and restore peace to the common folk.

Even in the presence of the Empress Dowager,

I would say the same words.

Open your eyes and see.

Is this the result you wanted?

If Xiuxiu were here,

would she want to see

you become like this?

Xiuxiu.

Stop shooting arrows.

Liuniang.

Guangchun Clinic.

This place turns out to be the headquarters of the Huo'e Sect.

Good.

It really is you, Ji Dafu.

You first murdered Li Kaixiang.

Then you framed Li Kairui.

Then you dragged Liu Zongyuan into this

as a scapegoat.

What exactly are you plotting?

I did not frame Li Kairui.

I even paid to clear his name.

As for Li Kaixiang,

so what if I killed him?

He deserved to die.

Liu Zongyuan deserved to die too.

Those foolish commoners,

their deaths are not a pity.

I'm afraid you are the most foolish one.

The commoners you killed were so innocent.

You too were once a son and a husband.

You also have parents, a wife, and offspring.

Do you know the pain when loved ones

are tragically killed?

Shut up.

Tragic death of loved ones.

How could I not know that pain?

But when I saw Xiulian,

she was no longer human-like,

disfigured.

But they promised me

they would bring Xiulian back to life.

She will come back.

Who are they? Did they promise you that they could resurrect Xiulian?

Pity you are not like her.

So you can only offer up your viscera.

Shen Du.

Yan Xing, are you alright?

I'm fine.

How did you follow me?

The Half-faced Demon was in a fight

and a piece of his robe was torn off.

It had a strong scent of complex medicines on it.

It reminded me of the place in Yingzhou where medicinal materials are most concentrated

and which is the least likely to be suspected.

Guangchun Clinic.

Let's get out first.

What's that noise?

There are snakes!

Shen Du, be careful!

Never hurt yourself for my sake, no matter when.

Shen Du,

thank you for saving me.

After we get out this time,

I will be your wife properly for once.

Did you bring the silver I asked for?

If I can leave Yingzhou safely at an early date,

you can be at ease sooner.

I have prepared all the silver.

It's placed right in…

How dare you!

The lord will not let you go.

I'm afraid you won't live to see that.

The murderer, Ji Dafu,

you can't escape. Guards!

Take the murderer to the execution cell.

Yes.

Jing Lin, hurry up.

The water's all boiled away and your meat isn't ready.

What's the rush?

Don't underestimate my knife skills.

Here, kid.

You're the kid.

Mr. Pan,

this is for you.

Longevity Dragon and Phoenix Pot.

Mutton Nourishing Soup.

Chinese Yam and Pork Tripe Porridge.

Please enjoy your meal.

Were these

arranged by Senior Clerk Yan for you to make for me?

Mrs. Shen instructed me to make them for you.

Longevity Dragon and Phoenix Pot.

Mutton Nourishing Soup.

And what he has made for you.

Chinese Yam and Pork Tripe Porridge.

Please enjoy your meal.

What dishes will the Great Chief have?

The Great Chief will have

only one dish.

It's made by Mrs. Shen herself for over two hours.

Complete Tonic Soup.

Mr. Pan,

please enjoy your meal.

Kid, go.

Your hand isn't injured.

Why can't you drink by yourself?

My shoulder blade was cut.

I can't lift my hand.

Shen Du,

it's been three days already.

You've long been healed.

Stop lying.

Who said she wanted to be a good wife to me for once?

Got tired of it in just three days?

Is it possible

that one time equals three days?

Stop being dishonest.

Shen Du, I haven't asked you yet.

Why pretend to not see and deceive me?

When did your night blindness get better?

That day, your knife skills were so precise in killing the venomous snake.

It was not at all about identifying position by sound.

It's been better for a while now.

It's been a while now?

Well…

That time in the hot spring,

he was pretending to be blind.

Drink it yourself.

Great Chief.

Speak.

Ji Dafu has been arrested and brought to justice.

Mo Qianzhi, stop.

How dare you?

Who dares to interrupt the Great Chief's interrogation?

Great Chief,

after our investigation,

Ji Dafu

is the mastermind

behind the Half-faced Demon case.

After he committed the crime,

he gouged out Er Laipi's eyes,

beheaded Li Kaixiang,

and took Liu Zongyuan's liver.

This person is extremely evil and guilty.

Not killing him is insufficient to appease the public's anger.

- He should be killed! - Kill him!

He has harmed so many people.

Dying like this would be too lenient for him.

Exactly, this person is extremely evil and guilty.

Even a thousand cuts wouldn't suffice

to appease the public's anger.

He should suffer a thousand cuts.

Kill him!

- Kill him! - He should be killed!

Ji Dafu established a gambling house without authorization.

He killed your family members.

His crimes are unforgivable.

Execute him immediately.

Wait a moment.

Senior Clerk Yan, what do you mean?

Could it be

that you want to plead for Ji Dafu?

There are still some doubts in this case that have not been clarified.

Ji Dafu confessed to his crimes without hiding anything.

The evidence is conclusive.

The time has come.

Execute him immediately.

Great Chief,

haven't you always been saying

that you want to eliminate harm for the people?

Why would you want to save such an utterly evil person?

Kill him!

I cannot die!

I don't want to die!

- Well killed! - Well done!

Well killed!

He deserved to die.

A great satisfaction to the people.

Well killed.

Well done!

Well killed.

Great Chief,

my actions

follow the will of the people.

Mr. Mo, you are wise.

I've smelled the smell on him

in the place of my confinement.

- Jing Lin. - Yes.

Check it out.

Yes.

He is the Great Chief.

The infamous White Ghost of Xiang'an City.

Why did he stop it just now?

Who knows, maybe it's retribution for the evil.

Stop talking, let's hurry up and go.

Let's go.

My Lord, a secret report from Yingzhou.

Ji Dafu is dead. The situation has changed.

We need to bide our time and act opportunistically over there.

Forget it, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Not important.

It is just the beginning in Yingzhou.

A single gun makes it hard to sound.

Keep a close watch on other places.

Strike when they are unprepared.

Only then can we rise high.

Yes.

How is

the deployment in Nanlang and Xichen?

Everything has been done according to your orders.

Good.

If Heaven aids me,

I will surely triumph over Heaven.

If Heaven does not aid me,

I will defy Heaven.

The people of Yingzhou

are all happy about Ji Dafu's death.

Naturally.

Ji Dafu committed many evils.

The people of Yingzhou

were all in a panic because of the Half-faced Demon.

They hate him to the bone.

Now the criminal has received just punishment.

It is right to be happy.

What a pity.

The people are singing praises

that Mo Qianzhi has accomplished a lot.

But it was clear that Ji Dafu

was tortured by harsh punishments.

Somehow, he became crazed.

Now our clue has been cut off again.

Now all the people of Yingzhou

have seen it.

Mo Qianzhi detests evil as if it were his enemy.

He has made the decisive execution order.

It's me, Shen Du,

who intervened.

One is praised by everyone.

The other is the White Ghost

who terrifies people at the mere mention.

In the eyes of the common people,

you and Mr. Mo

are so different.

If my heart is at ease, that's all that matters.

Why fear the words of others?

The words of people can be fearsome indeed.

Well,

Governor Mo has executed Ji Dafu publicly.

It seems to comfort the public's heart.

But it is also strange.

It was inconsistent with his usual cautious way

of doing things.

When the Half-faced Demon caused chaos in the city that day,

he mentioned the day of Sanyang.

I remember his expression being somewhat strange at that time.

Is there anything special about the day of Sanyang?

Isn't it just about to come?

Hold on a moment.

I've heard my mother say

this year's day of Sanyang

is indeed different from the previous ones.

It is the day of Deadly Sanyang

which is rare in decades.

The day of Deadly Sanyang?

What does that mean?

In any case, it means multiple inauspicious aspects.

She asked me to be especially careful

and instructed me not to leave the house under any circumstances.

Well, my mother believes in everything.

It's all hearsay after all.

But from what I know of Mo Qianzhi,

he is not one to care about such things.

Great Chief.

How did the investigation go?

It is just as you predicted.

I visited several households.

The girls on the city walls that day,

who were abducted by the Half-faced Demon,

were all rescued by the people from Mr. Mo's yamen.

However,

there was no news afterwards

about them being sent back.

What?

Where are those girls?

Could it be that they were really taken away by Mr. Mo?

It seems that the Half-faced Demon

did not randomly abduct girls in the city that day

but took those girls away with a purpose.

However, I have checked it.

The family backgrounds

of those girls

share no similarity.

It's Mo Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu?

Do you remember the portrait of Mo Xiuxiu

hanging inside the Mo Mansion?

Du Xiaowan

and the five women who were kidnapped by the Half-faced Demon that day,

between their eyebrows and eyes,

there are similarities with Mo Xiuxiu.

What if all this is not a coincidence?

Ji Dafu is dead.

The affairs in Yingzhou are not yet over.

If it's really as we suspected,

I'm afraid he was in collusion with the behind-the-scenes Huo'e Sect

from the very beginning.

On the day of Sanyang,

they will act again.

What should we do next?

Find them.

Find them?

Find them.

Those women who were kidnapped

are the key.

Yingzhou is so big.

Where would these people be hidden?

Naturally, in those places one would think impossible.

My Lord,

everything is in readiness.

Just waiting for the auspicious time.

Very well.

Xiuxiu,

no matter what,

I must activate the formation today

to bring you back.

Mr. Mo,

please let me go.

Considering I've always been obedient,

I beg you, spare my life.

Let me go.

I don't want to die yet.

Jing Lin.

Xiuxiu.

Thankfully, we arrived just in time.

They are all alive.

Xiuxiu.

Qianzhi.

Qianzhi,

does it look good?

It looks good.

Qianzhi.

Mr. Mo.

Impossible.

Xiuxiu wouldn't call me Mr. Mo.

She would only call me Qianzhi.

Impossible.

Impossible to fail.

It's impossible to fail.

It's you guys.

It was you who frightened Xiuxiu's soul away,

making her unable to find the way back.

Shen Du, you're so heartless.

In this world,

there is no way to resurrect the dead.

He has gone mad to the point of almost losing his humanity.

Humanity?

Not knowing others' suffering,

do not persuade others to be good.

Shen Du,

you should understand

this principle.

If it were possible for the wrongfully dead to be resurrected,

what would you choose?

Xiuxiu

was the kindest

and most innocent person in this world.

Yet those scoundrels

forced her to her death.

Mo Xiuxiu.

Was she not ill…?

Who exactly

caused Xiuxiu's death?

Before Xiuxiu died,

she kept asking

why

and what she had done wrong.

Give me some food, please.

Give me some food, please.

What's the matter?

[Mo Xiuxiu] My lord, there are displaced people blocking the road.

Take some food and distribute it to them.

Yes.

Qianzhi, as we get closer to Yingzhou,

the number of displaced people increases.

If you take over Gannandao in the future,

I hope you will

provide assistance for these displaced people

and give them a place of stability.

My dear sister,

you are just too kind-hearted.

Come, Xiuxiu.

Welcome, honored guest!

Please come inside.

We will stay here for the night.

The horses must be tired after a day's travel.

Please come in.

Miss, are you feeling unwell?

Let me assist you to rest over there.

No need.

My family is urgently waiting for the water.

I must hurry and take it back.

You are beautiful and kind-hearted.

Please accompany me for a part of the way.

Alright, I will help you over there.

Thank you, miss.

Let's go.

Save me.

I just encountered some bad people.

My family is waiting for me at the post station.

Please, can you take me back?

Rest assured.

I will save you.

Xiuxiu.

Don't come over.

Don't.

- Stay away. - Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu, it's alright now.

Come back with me.

Nobody will hurt you anymore.

No, I was wrong.

Qianzhi.

But I just wanted to help.

What exactly did I do wrong?

Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu.

Don't.

Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu.

Qianzhi..

Who are you?

Who I am is not important.

If you wish to revive your sister,

I might be able to help you.

Reviving the dead

is utterly absurd.

The world is vast

and full of wonders.

What Dacang doesn't have

doesn't mean I don't have it.

As long as your heart is devout enough.

You really know

the art of resurrection?

Of course.

Moth passes through fire to be reborn.

It is the foundation of the Huo'e Sect.

If you truly wish to follow me,

I can

resurrect your sister.

As long as you can resurrect Xiuxiu,

I, Mo Qianzhi,

will follow only your lead.

What resurrection technique?

It's nothing but rhetoric to buy people's hearts.

You have obsessions in your heart.

Thus, you listened and believed.

My senior,

do you not know

that under your protection,

the Huo'e Sect has been rampant in Gannandao

for many years

and has killed countless people?

Do you still believe they will resurrect Mo Xiuxiu?

Why not?

What reason do I have not to believe?

As long as Xiuxiu can be resurrected,

even if it means killing more people,

what's the harm?

Don't those rats

deserve to die?

It was the Half-faced Demon of Guangchun Clinic

who killed those people for me.

Xiuxiu kindly saved the refugees

only to be

humiliated to death by another gang of villains.

How can I not avenge this?

- Save me. - Someone is trying to kill me.

- Don't be afraid. - Save me.

Under the broad daylight, there is no absence of law.

With our lord here, you will surely be protected.

It's them, they are the ones trying to kill me.

Why do they want to kill you?

Xiuxiu,

I'm here to avenge you.

They all deserve to die.

They should all be buried with Xiuxiu.

Shen Du,

why do you disrupt the sacrifice?

Why

do you just refuse to let Xiuxiu come back?

Those people deserve to die.

What about them?

What did they do wrong?

This world has always been unfair.

Shen Du,

you know it clear enough.

Using others' lives for sacrifices.

You didn't hesitate to take five lives

to exchange for the resurrection you wanted.

Even if it worked,

do you think Xiuxiu

could really accept it with peace of mind?

My senior,

Xiuxiu is already dead.

Xiuxiu is not dead.

I will bring her back.

Guards!

Using death to resurrect,

to bewitch the heart.

Harvesting people's internal organs

for use in a sacrifice.

Well,

after Mrs. Tang committed murder,

she removed the internal organs of the victims.

She was also deceived by the Huo'e Sect

and wished to conduct this resurrection ceremony.

Creating mystery and spreading terror.

Only to make people feel awe

can the Huo'e Sect thoroughly control these followers.

Xiuxiu.

Be careful.

Slow down.

Ms. Yan,

is there really no way

to bring people back to life?
