Jinzhen's in the city?

Yes, Ruolai too.

They must be looking for Qian Fengshi to buy salt.

Do whatever you need

to get evidence of Qian Fengshi's communist ties.

But before the deal,

don't meddle with them.

What about Shen Jinzhen?

She's my sister

but also a communist.

Pardon me then.

Wait.

Let me remind you.

Jinzhen's great at shaking off pursuers.

Don't worry.

Since they're here for Qian Fengshi,

we just need to keep an eye on him.

Okay.

Hello?

Hello.

Mr. Yan.

Long time no see.

What can I do for you?

Ganzhou's account

this month is atrocious.

It's all because of the new special commissioner.

I've investigated.

His

real name is Shen Tunan.

He's sent by Chiang from Nanjing.

He blocked Sanjiang Kou.

We can't get our goods out.

We have no choice.

You have one month

to solve the problem,

or you can retire and go back to Jiangmen.

Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan!

These darn debtors.

I'm not made of money!

Where are you from?

I'm returning from visiting relatives.

Where are you from?

We are together.

Go.

The pass code book of Sanjiang Kou's boats

must be with your brother.

If we get it,

we can end the lockdown.

I know.

But my brother is very vigilant.

I've to find the right time to do it.

Okay, be careful.

You too.

We have

something on Qian Fengshi.

I'm afraid he'll get desperate.

Got it.

Boss.

The money's on the table.

Okay. Take care, sir.

Fortune telling.

Get some advice.

Want a reading?

Fortune telling.

Get some advice.

Fortune telling.

Get some advice.

Sir.

Sir, want a reading?

Stop.

Let me read your fortune.

How dare you

swindle people here?

Sir, things mustn't be going well for you lately.

Mr. Liu.

Your forehead, cheekbones, and lifespan

are all red.

What do you mean?

It means

you recently lost money,

a place,

and maybe even met with death threats?

I'll kill you if you keep talking nonsense.

Brother.

Where are you from?

Ruijin.

Sir.

Lin Qiaosong found traces of Ruolai

through an inspection at Qian's area.

What about Jinzhen?

We lost her.

After they separated,

she disappeared.

Got it. Go back to work.

Yes.

Brigade Commander Qian.

I'll make it short.

I'm the negotiator of Chinese Soviet Republic National Bank,

Wei Ruolai.

I'm here to discuss business with you.

Communism suppression is tight now.

Cooperating with you again

will get me killed.

What if it's a dead end?

On the surface,

the fight for control of Sanjiang Kou

appears to be

between you and Shen Tunan,

but it's really between

Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jitang.

Shen Tunan is doing well now.

But how will you explain

to Chen Jitang?

A communist like you

doesn't have to worry about this.

No matter what,

I am the general of the army.

I have

a lot of your accounts.

For the past few years,

you've been supporting Jiangxi Soviet's construction.

How dare you threaten me?

If I have the accounts,

Shen Tunan has them too.

You're now Chen Jitang's beloved general.

Shen Tunan's wary and can't provoke you.

But if you

can't offer Chen Jitang money,

you'll be useless to him.

By then,

will he still protect you at all costs?

What goods do you want?

Salt.

We have salt.

Brigade Commander.

We have a batch of top-grade salt

from Guangdong.

Unfortunately, we don't have a new pass.

It's at Taojiang Pier.

It can't get in.

So we're going to

send it back.

Deputy Chief Wei.

If you really have a way

to transport salt out of Tunan's hands,

I will

do business with you.

Okay.

You're forthright.

We'll take this batch of salt.

Hello.

Excuse me.

It's time for her medicine.

But she just fell asleep.

Let's wait a while then.

Yu, look.

Let's eat a little.

It's okay.

Then I will

peel your favorite oranges for you, okay?

Then I'm sure

you will eat it.

Aunt?

Aunt?

Is that you?

Aunt.

I missed you so much.

Where have you been?

I couldn't find you.

It's okay.

I'm here to see you.

Okay, be good.

You'll get better.

You will.

Yu.

I'll talk to your mom.

I'll be back soon,

okay?

Aunt.

Don't go.

I'm not leaving.

I'm going to talk to your mom.

I'll be back soon.

Liar.

Once I let go,

you'll run away again.

I promise you

I'll visit you often from now on.

So, promise me

to get better, okay?

Promise.

I'll put you to sleep, okay?

Lie down.

Close your eyes.

Sleep.

Are you here

for a mission?

Can I help?

Yes.

But I don't need it.

Why?

Because it'll hurt my brother.

I'm sorry.

I have no choice.

If

your mission is completed,

what will happen to him?

If Sanjiang Kou can't be sealed,

his capabilities will be questioned.

He might be fired.

Really?

Because of me,

Nanjing

doesn't trust him as before.

And he's a sinner now.

He can't afford this.

I mean,

he'll only

be fired?

According to normal procedures,

he'll be interrogated first.

After he's cleared of communist suspicions,

he'll be expelled from the party

and fired.

His career will be over.

Let me help you.

I said I don't need it.

I'm also

helping myself,

him,

and our family.

Only in this way

will our family

have hope.

Go and trim that side.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Be gentle.

What are you doing?

You too.

Don't fool around all the time.

Be careful.

Look at the flowers.

Thank you.

Pour it properly.

Look.

Pick up the leaves.

Madam, you're back.

Hello, Madam.

Mrs. Zhang.

Call everyone to the kitchen.

Recently, Yu's food

has been getting worse.

Is this the best you can do?

Sorry, Madam.

I'll get everyone to the kitchen now.

Xiaoju!

Everyone, put down your work.

Follow me

to the kitchen now!

The study is there.

I'll take you.

Hello, Sir.

You're back, Sir.

Mrs. Zhang.

Madam is back.

She was so angry.

Why?

She complained about the food,

so we made a few more dishes today.

Where's she now?

I saw her go to the study.

Jinzhen.

It's me.

Sister-in-law.

Your brother's back.

Leave!

It's too late.

Take this.

Take a look.

Ganzhou's too dangerous.

Don't ever come back.

Leave.

Sister-in-law.

Thank you.

Bye.

Go.

Go now.

Why are you back?

I was bored in the hospital.

So I came back to get a book.

But I saw your bookshelf

was too dirty,

so I wanted to wipe it for you.

I said

no one's

allowed in my study.

Me neither?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

What's the use of saying sorry now?

You could have left then,

but you insisted on coming.

I was going to

suggest Kuomintang take over Jiangxi,

so everything can go back on track.

But what I saw

at Jiangxi Soviet this time

was not what I thought.

I heard

Ruijin's doing well

in the Communist Party.

The people live and work in peace,

and prosper.

Jinzhen must've told you this, right?

Come in.

Have a seat.

How was it?

I've got the code book.

Sanjiang Kou's finally unsealed.

Great.

Contact Qian Fengshi

to prepare the salt

and send it back safely.

Okay.

You've been exposed many times in the hospital.

Leave Ganzhou now.

Leave the rest to us.

Okay.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

Brigade Commander Qian.

I'll leave the salt to you.

Please hurry.

The ship is ready.

What's the code?

Use other goods to pass customs.

Then switch it with the salt.

After it passes Sanjiang Kou,

in the guise of armed robbery,

we'll get the goods.

Even if Shen Tunan finds out,

you can explain it.

If it can pass,

let's do as we agreed.

Okay.

Thank you.

Same to you.

Come on.

Listen.

Once the goods are sorted out, set sail.

Yes, Sir.

Where are the porters from?

I’ve checked.

They're Su’s.

Those bastards.

They do anything for money.

Once this deal is done,

kill them all.

Understood.

Brothers, retreat!

Do it!

Sir, it's salt.

Special Commissioner, you want to see me?

I heard you had a special operation last night.

Aren't the communists buying salt?

Last night,

we caught Qian Fengshi's ship transporting salt for them

on the spot.

Good.

We also put arsenic in the salt.

In a few days,

the Communist-controlled areas will be in chaos

due to the poisoning,

and we can make a sneak attack.

Lin Qiaosong, how dare you act on your own?

You're evil!

Special Commissioner.

Calm down.

I knew you'd disagree,

so I didn't inform you.

I’ll let Shen Jinzhen go too.

For what?

It doesn't matter.

You can report directly

to Nanjing

if you're against the poisoning.

Let's hear what Nanjing has to say.

I'll leave if there's nothing else.

Goodbye.

Do you like it?

Let's go back and rest

after getting some sun, okay?

Okay.

Yu.

Look who's here.

Mom, I'm scared.

Don't be.

Come on, baby.

That's Dad.

Call Dad.

Dad.

Yu.

Yu.

Have you learned anything recently?

Tell Dad.

It's "Enlightenment of Vocal Rhythm".

Really?

You've learned "Enlightenment of Vocal Rhythm"?

Can you recite it to me?

Tea versus wine. Ode versus poetry.

Swallows versus warblers.

Planting flowers versus planting bamboo.

Falling catkins versus gossamer.

Zhi Bo is wise and giving,

so his state councilor swallowed burning charcoal for him.

Mr. Yang is virtuous,

so people erected a monument of tears for him.

Yu, you're amazing.

You memorized everything.

Do you know what "Mr. Yang is virtuous" means?

Mr. Yang is Yang Hu,

a virtuous general in ancient times.

Yes.

Do you know what Yang Hu's virtuous act is?

I'm not taught that yet.

Then let me tell you, okay?

Sure.

Let me tell you.

Let's sit on the chair.

Let me tell you.

Come.

Let me tell you.

Once,

Yang Hu

led an army to Wu State.

When he got to Wu State,

he acted in good faith

for the people and army of Wu.

Their battles were always

arranged

and never a sneak attack.

Once,

Wu generals attacked Yang Hu.

So Yang Hu killed them.

But he also gave them proper funerals

and reciprocated with courtesy.

Because Yang Hu

admired them for their bravery.

Just like how you killed Xiaoyun’s dad?

Something like that.

You're like Yang Hu.

Yang Hu's a good person,

so you're also a good person.

Am I right?

Dad?

Yes.

You're right.

There are things a gentleman should and shouldn't do.

I promise you that no matter what I do,

I'll do my best

and try to be a good person,

so as not to let you down, okay?

Okay.

You're the best.

Congyun.

What's wrong, Sir?

You're like Yang Hu.

Yang Hu's a good person,

so you're also a good person.

Pass my order.

Contact the Communist Party with plain code.

Yes, Sir.

What should I tell them?

The salt is poisoned.

Sir.

Lin Qiaosong's been planning this for a long time.

Is it appropriate?

Why not?

We want to impose an economic blockade

on the Communist Party,

not to poison the people.

There are things a gentleman

should and shouldn't do.

But you're suspected of colluding with communists.

I know you're worried about me.

But it's fine.

I'm upright.

I'm not afraid.

Also,

don't let Lin Qiaosong find out.

Get it done as soon as possible.

Yes, Sir.

This is a plain-code telegram from Shen Tunan,

saying the salt that's transported back

is mixed with arsenic.

He advised us not to eat it.

What do you think?

Chief Lei.

I think it's fake

and he's trying to scare us,

so we dare not

eat the salt we risked our lives

to bring back.

He's too cunning.

It's possible indeed.

But from what I know about him,

I don't think he's lying.

But

our people were involved throughout the process

from Guangdong Army

to the salt warehouse.

It couldn't have been poisoned.

It could've been poisoned beforehand.

Impossible!

Qian Fengshi's greedy for money.

If he sold us poisonous salt,

we'd stop doing business with him,

and he'd have to deal with us getting revenge.

The salt concerns

the people's safety.

Seal the salt first.

You have three days

to find out if it's poisoned.

Yes.

Ruolai, how is it?

Did you find anything?

The salt bags were sealed well

to prevent moisture.

But some salt bags

have surface damages of about 7 mm long.

This isn't right.

How about this?

Check the salt from the damaged bags

for me.

Okay.

I'll go now.

Ming Da, I'm loyal to Kuomintang.

We're against communists,

not the general public.

We shouldn't poison

the salt.

The people

in Jiangxi Soviet will just

hate us more

and we'll lose more trust.

Tunan, your previous arrest had already

aroused much suspicion about your loyalty.

They might

use this to create a narrative.

So,

you must be wary,

especially of Qian Fengshi.

Don't worry.

I have a plan for him.

If he's colluding with communists, even Commander Chen can't save him.

Sir.

Fortunately, Nanjing didn't pursue this matter.

You sent the telegram to Jiangxi Soviet?

It's me.

You're especially concerned about the communists

after coming back from Jiangxi Soviet.

They aren't communists.

They're innocent people.

I don't want to poison the salt

and kill innocent people.

I don't want to be evil.

Am I wrong?

Communist Party members are not innocent!

They're Kuomintang's enemies.

Special Commissioner.

You can't be sympathetic.

There's no world without bloodshed.

Don't forget

they once wanted to kill you.

Lin Qiaosong.

I'm warning you.

You're here to cooperate with me.

If you keep acting on your own,

our cooperation is over.

I'm warning you too.

My loyalty to Kuomintang

comes before everything else!

Ignorant.

Say that again.

I said you're ignorant.

You don't understand Mr. Shen's ambition.

I can shoot you anytime.

Are you done?

Just you wait.

Think about how to deal with Qian Fengshi

with that energy instead!

We found

five bags of poisoned salt on that ship.

They used

cone-shaped objects to poke a small hole

to add the arsenic.

The purity of the arsenic is high.

They are crystals,

not the usual minerals

available at Chinese medicine shops.

It's a highly-concentrated

compound purified in the lab.

A total of about 5 to 700 grams.

That much arsenic

would've killed many people!

Those bastards.

Around the holes,

we also found

high concentrations of phosphoric acid,

commonly known as gun oil.

The holes must've been made with bayonets,

which are maintained with gun oil.

Can you separate out

the poisoned salt?

Yes.

The lab is still checking.

It'll take a week.

We can give it out then.

That's great.

Never

buy salt from Guangdong Army again.

We were lucky to be warned this time.

We might be tricked next time.

But I don't understand why

Qian Fengshi did that.

It was discovered in time

and no harm was caused.

We'll look into

the poisonous salt later.

A Mexican dollar machine

is about

to arrive.

Through a water route, the transportation line comrades

have transported it from Shanghai to Yudu.

That's great.

Both southern Jiangxi and Guangzhou acknowledge Mexican dollars.

We can make them ourselves with the machine.

We can trade directly in Kuomintang-controlled areas.

It's much more convenient.

Yes.

It's all thanks to our comrades in Shanghai.

Such an important machine

must be transported back to the money factory as soon as possible

so the enemy can't wreak havoc.

I'll go then.

I'll protect it

with my life.

Get Chunmiao too.

She's in Yudu.

She can come back with you.

Stop!

Stop running!

Did you take care of everyone else?

Yes.

Sir.

We've taken care of them.

Brigade Commander.

Everyone involved has been eliminated.

We'll stop selling salt

to the communists.

Shen Tunan's trying to mess with me.

Bring it on.

He'll die in my hands.

Brigade Commander Qian.

What a coincidence

to meet you here.

Captain Lin.

Working

at this late hour?

This is...

Captain Lin.

I just met a few communists and killed them on the spot.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

Brigade Commander Qian.

I'm officially arresting you

for communist ties.

Lin Qiaosong.

Get it straight.

This is Ganzhou.

Messing with me when I have countless men backing me?

Stop!

What are you doing?

Are you trying to

resist arrest?

Stop labelling me.

Show me the evidence,

or get lost

right now!

You used Su's Porters to send salt to communists.

It was even in batches.

Su’s has 70 to 80 porters.

Could you have

killed them all?

Captain Lin.

Your words are too cryptic.

Now,

it's getting late.

I have work to do.

If there’s nothing else,

goodbye.

Thank you, guys.

Those bastards.

How dare he arrest me

when he couldn't stop cars?

Now it's up to Shen Tunan.

Brothers of the Guangdong Army,

you've been fighting wars all year round.

This money

is to reward you.

How could a special commissioner

get so much money?

To be honest,

the money

is not mine.

It belongs to Brigade Commander Qian.

He's in Ganzhou

earning dirty money

by intercepting your military pay.

Just in

the past six months,

he withheld three months of your pay.

I really want to know

if he's poor

or evil!

Not only did he

do something so despicable for money,

but he also colluded with communists to smuggle tungsten ore.

I've reported all his crimes

to the Suppression Headquarters.

Soon,

he'll be put to trial.

In less than half a month,

the Guangdong Army will send other officials

to take over his work.

If any of you

are not convinced,

stand out now

and I'll convince you.

Okay.

Line up.

Take your money!

Yes!

Yangchun noodles and wontons!

No appetite?

Yeah.

I've been busy lately.

I can't sleep or eat well.

How about you catch up on sleep

and get some Chinese medicine?

It's okay.

I can push through.

I've been looking for you.

So you're here.

How is it?

Is the Mexican dollar machine here?

Yes,

but one of the bearings is faulty.

Faulty bearings?

Maybe it got damaged during the transport.

It's our responsibility.

Can you fix the bearing?

I'm not sure. It depends on the model.

I'll try with other tools too.

Let's go.

Okay.

Wait.

Eat first.

I'll eat after it's fixed.

Let's go.

How is it?

Change it.

It's fixed.

Great.

This machine

is so important to us.

In this way,

we can make the Mexican dollars ourselves.

It'll be convenient for us in Kuomintang-controlled areas.

Now that it's fixed,

I'm suddenly hungry.

Make me something delicious.

Sure. Come on.

I'll make you some noodles.

Add more chili!

Song Shoutian!

Don't move!

To think it's you.

I'm here to help!

Help with what?

To avoid misunderstandings,

I set up a trap in the bearing

on purpose.

As long as it's forced damage,

the engine oil will spray out onto you.

Anything else to say?

Did you blow up the mine too?

Speak up!

Is your boss

Lin Qiaosong?

Nonsense!

Don't slander revolutionary comrades like this!

When you blew up the mine in Pangu Mountain,

we found the residuals of explosives at the entrance.

It was picric acid ammunition,

the filler for artillery shells.

It's powerful but unstable.

Jinling Arsenal once exported it,

But it was eliminated soon.

When Lin Qiaosong was in Shanghai's Dare-to-Die Corps,

he used it often.

He's the only user in China now.

Why did you

betray the revolution?

To save my sister.

Kong.

My sister is my only family

in this world.

Have you ever thought

if your identity is exposed,

your sister will be doomed?

I know.

Lin Qiaosong won't let her go.

You still have a chance.

As long as you don't expose yourself,

you still have a chance to save your sister.

You want me to

keep in touch with Lin Qiaosong?

If you cooperate,

you'd be earning merits.

You can only live

if Lin Qiaosong dies.

Brother!

What's wrong?

I couldn't find water.

Something's up ahead.

Hide.

Hurry!

What happened?

I saw Niu Chunmiao

leading a team.

Everyone, work harder.

When we get to the Yunmen Ridge,

we'll get a good rest.

Okay.

Be alert.

What are they transporting?

I don't know.

Be on guard.

Biao, come with me.

Yes.

Yunmen Ridge?

It's really top-grade tungsten ore.

Where's the map?
