00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,720
{\an8}ADAPTED FROM THE LEGENDOF KUNSHAN JADE BY TAN TIANYIN
2
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:01,960
Not bad at all.
3
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,480
In the rising tower,
jade pendants sway in the breeze,
4
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,200
while pearls glisten
under the stars.
5
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,600
- Wonderful!
- Bravo!
6
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,920
Presenting today's highlight,
7
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,520
a blood-stained Tridacna pearl.
8
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,520
It wards off all evil
and weighs five maces.
9
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,480
Its starting bid is three million maces.
10
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,200
Tridacna pearls are precious.
11
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,480
What does she mean by "blood-stained"?
12
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,840
This pearl hostess
speaks not a word of truth.
13
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Pearl hunting is tough,
and so is selling them.
14
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,960
Mr. Zhang, you're truly a kind soul.
15
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,560
Mr. Peng, with your confidence
and grandeur,
16
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,920
this treasure should go to you.
17
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Mr. Peng, are you interested in bidding?
18
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,640
A blood-stained Tridacna pearl
is indeed rare.
19
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,000
I'll offer two million maces.
20
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,000
The starting bid is three million maces.
21
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,360
Surely you jest, Mr. Peng.
22
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:20,040
Steward Cui, what Mr. Peng means
is that this pearl is flawless,
23
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,840
and he's willing to raise the bid
by two million.
24
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:23,920
Isn't that right, Mr. Peng?
25
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,600
I see.
26
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,080
Thank you, Mr. Peng.
27
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Thank you, Master Yan.
28
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,120
However, this pearl isn't flawless.
29
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:37,480
Are you talking down your own item?
30
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,760
It has an extraordinary flaw,
31
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:40,120
the blood from a living person.
32
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,840
I obtained this pearl myself,
33
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,720
and the wound from gathering it
won't heal.
34
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,080
As I said,
35
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,560
a Tridacna pearl, tainted with blood,
36
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,320
wards off all evil.
37
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:54,840
That's what makes this pearl so precious.
38
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,560
Tridacna pearls are rare for sure,
39
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,400
but can they really ward off evil
after being tainted with blood?
40
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,040
- Exactly.
- It sounds made up.
41
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,520
I've brought you here
to see this pearl auction as promised.
42
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,840
Now, about our wager…
43
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,360
I was indeed overconfident.
44
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,480
Mr. Zhang, you're truly
a man of your word.
45
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,200
I'm not really keen on this pearl,
46
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,640
but this box
47
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,520
isn't something ordinary folks own.
48
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:22,160
Thanks a lot.
49
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,720
Since you're so gracious, in return,
50
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,760
I'll help you lend a hand
to that pearl hostess.
51
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,960
The Tridacna pearl is one
of the seven treasures of Buddhism.
52
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,480
An ordinary Tridacna pearl is ominous.
53
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,440
Gathering it brings misfortune.
54
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,240
But if it bears human blood,
55
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,120
it gains the power to ward off evil
56
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,280
and can truly be called a talisman pearl.
57
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,880
I am willing to bid
58
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,120
- six million maces.
- Six million maces?
59
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,640
However rare it is,
it can't be worth that much.
60
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,200
Exactly.
No one's ever bid this high before.
61
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:56,000
What? Can it really ward off evil?
62
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,800
Can it really repel all harm?
63
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,880
- Can it?
- Really?
64
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,920
Even if it could,
it's still not worth six million maces.
65
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Take the offer while you can.
66
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,320
Thank you for your kindness, sir.
67
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,360
But I'm wagering my life here,
68
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,240
not just a pearl.
69
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,760
Only six million maces?
70
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,960
Master Yan, such a price hardly honors
this one-of-a-kind treasure,
71
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:56,880
the Mermaid's Tear.
72
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Steward Cui,
73
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,480
this pearl hostess of yours
is full of lies.
74
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,320
One moment it's a talisman pearl,
and now it becomes the Mermaid's Tear?
75
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,320
In "In Search of the Supernatural",
76
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,040
it's said there are merfolk
beyond the South Sea,
77
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,480
living like fish in the water
and weaving tirelessly.
78
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,840
When they cry,
79
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,360
their tears become pearls.
80
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,720
Everyone, Master Yan is an esteemed guest
from the State of Kang.
81
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,200
Since he has bid six million maces,
82
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,600
- this pearl should go to Yan--
- Steward Cui!
83
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,320
When the mermaid cries,
her tears turn into pearls.
84
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,000
A Mermaid's Tear is worth a life.
85
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,360
Mr. Zhang.
86
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,600
I ask you to appraise it.
87
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,360
Sell it for seven million,
and you're free.
88
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,280
If you fail, you will die.
89
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,120
If this pearl is so precious,
90
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,960
then I bid
91
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:22,520
seven million maces.
92
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,320
Seven million?
93
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,400
Even if it wards off all evil,
that's too high!
94
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,720
Mr. Zhang,
95
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,520
seven million maces is no small sum.
96
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,560
Thank you, sir!
97
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:50,000
This pearl, bid at seven million
by Mr. Zhang,
98
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,480
now belongs to him!
99
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,200
This gold willow leaf isn't something
an ordinary person can possess.
100
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,680
It seems I was presumptuous.
101
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:26,400
Steward Cui,
102
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,080
I hope
103
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,120
you'll keep your word.
104
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,160
Revealing his identity so easily,
he's unfit for bigger responsibilities.
105
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:43,640
It's precisely his sincerity
and kindness that makes him
106
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,400
trustworthy for this task.
107
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,880
Shall we continue
with the original plan, then?
108
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,000
Yes. By the way,
109
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,320
just now, I saw a woman
110
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,600
with a scar on her face. Find her for me.
111
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,720
- An old acquaintance?
- Yes.
112
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,800
Mr. Zhang.
113
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,160
Greetings, sir. I'm Duanwu, a pearl diver.
114
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,080
Thank you, sir.
115
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,240
Duanwu?
116
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,360
As in early midsummer.
117
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,080
It's a fine name.
118
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:27,840
In early midsummer,
119
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,600
the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon
rise to the southern sky,
120
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:32,480
reaching the centermost position.
121
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,120
I didn't know that.
122
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,160
Mr. Zhang, I came here to thank you
123
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,880
and express my gratitude.
124
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,240
Your kindness means the world to me.
125
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,680
It was just a small gesture.
126
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,640
To you, sir, it may have been,
127
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,960
but to me, it's of great significance.
128
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:54,080
Please don't misunderstand me.
129
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,680
I only want to say
that if you ever need my help,
130
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,120
I'll be there, no matter what it takes.
131
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,000
Then I'll look forward
to your assistance someday.
132
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,640
- Until we meet again.
- Until we meet again.
133
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:14,400
By the way…
134
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,720
this is actually my first time here.
135
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,720
Would you mind showing me around Hepu?
136
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,080
- If it's an inconvenience, never mind.
- That's not what I mean.
137
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,280
But to be honest, Mr. Zhang,
I've never been to Hepu myself.
138
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,600
As a pearl diver, I wasn't allowed
to leave the pearl farm.
139
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,640
You've never left the pearl farm?
140
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:42,920
Well, in that case,
141
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,800
why don't you show me around
the pearl farm instead?
142
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,760
Already getting cozy, those two.
143
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,360
Are you happy about winning the bet?
144
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,880
Of course.
Now, I can finally leave the pearl farm.
145
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:54,920
So, what are your plans for the future?
146
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,880
I plan to take a close friend with me,
leave Hepu,
147
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,880
and sell goods while traveling.
148
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,120
Just a small-time peddler?
149
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,880
No, a free and unrestrained
grand merchant.
150
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,000
Will Steward Cui give you a hard time?
151
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,160
I'll be careful.
152
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,240
By the way, Mr. Zhang, where are you from?
153
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:24,680
Me?
154
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,160
- Chang'an.
- The faraway Chang'an?
155
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,480
Three thousand li from here.
156
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,440
What's it like in Chang'an?
157
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,600
You've asked the right person.
158
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,800
In Banzheng Ward,
159
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,720
shops are filled
with countless books and ancient texts.
160
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,240
And in Fuxing Ward,
you'll find the best-baked flatbread.
161
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,400
Baked flatbread?
162
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,480
If you ever go to Chang'an,
you must try the water basin mutton there.
163
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,320
In the West Market, you'll see Hu people
164
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,360
with high noses and deep-set eyes,
165
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:53,960
and Hu women are all skilled
at singing and dancing.
166
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,160
Oh, there's also this local custom.
167
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,880
We write our wishes on a wooden plaque
168
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:02,360
and hang it on a blessing tree.
This way, the wishes will come true.
169
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,960
What does a blessing tree look like?
170
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,640
- Unfortunately, there isn't one here.
- Of course not.
171
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,080
No worries.
172
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,800
Sincerity is all that matters. How about
173
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:18,400
we use this tree right here?
174
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,280
Come on. What's your wish?
175
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,160
Freedom.
176
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,800
I want freedom.
177
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:46,920
Alright.
178
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,600
"Freedom."
179
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,800
- Is that all?
- Make your wish first.
180
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,240
Then I'll put the plaque up there for you.
181
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,960
Thank you, Mr. Zhang.
182
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,760
FREEDOM
183
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,320
May your heart stay as clear as a mirror,
184
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,480
and may all your wishes come true.
185
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,120
Steward Cui.
186
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,680
Master Yan?
187
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,640
What brings you here so late at night?
188
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,160
I'm here for my 15-mm pearls, of course.
189
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,560
- You may go.
- Yes, sir.
190
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,320
The goods are ready.
191
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,240
But didn't we agree
to complete the deal tomorrow?
192
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,600
I need to leave tonight.
193
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:32,720
So,
194
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,400
let's settle it now.
195
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,440
Why the sudden rush?
196
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,960
Steward Cui, don't play dumb.
197
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,280
Gold willow leaves aren't something
ordinary folks can possess.
198
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,360
You should know that.
199
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,840
Otherwise, you wouldn't
200
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,880
still be here at this hour,
waiting for news.
201
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,520
I can also tell you
202
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,600
that Prince Ying's sworn brother left
the capital and headed south recently.
203
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,840
Although he's just
a scholar at Xiuwen Pavilion,
204
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:01,720
it's said he's highly trusted
by both Prince Ying
205
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,040
and the Emperor.
206
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,319
What's more,
207
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,000
his surname is Zhang.
208
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:10,680
Is he the man from today's?
209
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,280
I didn't say anything.
I'm just a businessman.
210
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,880
To me, what matters most
are money and safety.
211
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,520
But you brought him here.
212
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,839
What are you talking about?
213
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,480
Mr. Peng was on that ship too.
214
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,920
I only found out
about this myself recently.
215
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,720
I've also heard that Prince Ying
216
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,640
and Prince Tan
are in fierce conflict these days.
217
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,840
Your family has always
served Prince Tan, hasn't it?
218
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:49,840
Besides the 15-mm pearls, I'll also take
219
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,960
all the remaining pearls
220
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,360
from the pearl auction.
221
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,680
You think you can buy
222
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,640
all the pearls in the Pearl Tower
with just this bit of gold?
223
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,880
Steward Cui, who else but I
224
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,560
would dare buy your pearls now?
225
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:23,760
The quantity of the tribute pearls
has already been submitted.
226
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,560
Yet Cui's Pearl Farm
still has this much stock.
227
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,760
Does that seem reasonable?
228
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,640
Besides,
229
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,040
selling tribute pearls privately
is a capital offense.
230
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,400
- This…
- Moreover,
231
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,280
I know more about what's happening
in Chang'an than you do.
232
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,560
Recently, many unfamiliar faces
have shown up in Hepu.
233
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,560
You know that, right?
234
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:46,520
As for their identities,
235
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:47,960
they're easy to find out.
236
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,120
If Prince Ying is really
looking into this,
237
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,320
I'm not sure if Prince Tan
will be implicated,
238
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,160
but the Cui family will probably
end up as the scapegoat.
239
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,880
Come with me to get the goods.
240
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,560
You actually sold the pearls
at such a low price?
241
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,560
How dare you!
242
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,880
Mr. Peng, given the current situation,
243
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,040
it's wise to trade pearls for gold.
244
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,640
I know
245
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,840
the profits from the pearl auction
are meant for Prince Tan's big plans,
246
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,760
but safety comes first.
247
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,960
We control the entire sea around Hepu,
248
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,960
and we'll have pearl divers
for generations to come.
249
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,720
We can collect
as many pearls as we want in the future.
250
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,280
Mr. Peng,
you're an invaluable aide to Prince Tan.
251
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,200
Caution is what keeps us thriving.
252
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,320
It's an honor for my family
to have Prince Tan's trust.
253
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,800
As long as the court doesn't question
the quantity of the tribute pearls,
254
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,760
we'll still be able to make a fortune.
255
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,400
Please don't be upset, Mr. Peng.
256
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,400
Shall I send over
that pearl hostess from the auction?
257
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,000
I'll make the arrangements.
258
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,720
Have Lady Eight dress up Duanwu
and bring her here.
259
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,880
- But that Mr. Zhang said…
- I agreed to let her go,
260
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,160
but what Mr. Peng does is out of my hands.
261
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,640
By the way, tell her
262
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,160
Mr. Zhang is here waiting for her.
263
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:40,920
Duanwu!
264
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,560
Listen,
265
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,080
I got the Manumission Documents.
We'll leave in two…
266
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,600
No, tomorrow. We'll leave tomorrow.
267
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,560
- Alright.
- Duanwu.
268
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,760
Come with me.
269
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:55,400
I promise I'll get you out of here.
270
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,600
What's this about?
271
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,680
Mr. Zhang and his people
are leaving tomorrow.
272
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,240
He said he needed to talk to you.
273
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,920
I've seen Mr. Zhang.
274
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,960
He didn't mention anything about this.
275
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,480
Don't ask questions when you shouldn't!
276
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,440
You must always be fully prepared.
277
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,000
Some things can be useful
when the time is right.
278
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,360
That Mr. Zhang
is obviously a well-read man.
279
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,600
He's gentle, polite, and poised.
280
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,520
You'd better keep your temper in check
in front of him.
281
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:01,680
Don't offend this important guest.
282
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,400
Understood.
283
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:06,200
Go on.
284
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,440
Go up there on your own.
285
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:26,120
Lala, serve me well,
286
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,920
and there'll be plenty of rewards for you.
287
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,240
Lala!
288
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,600
You're finally here.
289
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:40,560
Duan… Duanwu.
290
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,360
- Duanwu, don't blame me!
- Let's go.
291
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,920
- Let's go!
- I didn't want this to happen!
292
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,200
- Come with me!
- The man who got
293
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,400
the Manumission Document is dead.
294
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:53,840
There's no way out for us.
295
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,360
- Come with me.
- Lala,
296
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,440
convince her to join us,
297
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,400
and I'll take both of you to Chang'an.
298
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,720
Let's go!
299
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,880
Little pearl hostess,
you do have some charm.
300
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,880
Serve me, and you'll have a good life.
301
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,360
Come on. Stop resisting.
302
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,080
You cheap slave!
303
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:22,040
How dare you, a harlot,
304
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:24,560
hit me?
305
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,760
Die!
306
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,440
Quick! Kill this insolent slave!
307
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:04,360
You wretch, how dare you offend Mr. Peng!
308
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,400
Someone's killed!
309
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,720
Someone's killed!
310
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,600
Hurry. Come with me.
311
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:22,840
Come on. Let's go!
312
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,080
Let's go, now!
313
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,080
Help!
314
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,640
Someone's dead!
315
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,720
- Hurry.
- What happened? Why the panic?
316
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,200
Sir, Peng… Peng Wu is dead.
317
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,960
- What?
- Duanwu killed him.
318
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,120
Lady Eight is helping her escape!
319
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,400
- Go after them!
- Yes, sir!
320
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,400
Hold on.
321
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Kill them on sight.
322
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,280
- Understood.
- I'm coming with you.
323
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:49,160
Let's go that way!
324
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,920
- Don't let them get away!
- Hurry.
325
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,200
Get over here!
326
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,920
- There's movement here!
- Duanwu!
327
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:00,840
No one's here.
328
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:02,960
Let's check over there.
329
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:05,480
Come on.
330
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,480
Everything is set.
They're waiting for your command.
331
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,840
- Have you found her?
- Yes.
332
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,000
She's an Accountant on the farm
333
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,440
and also keeps the books.
Her name is Lady Eight.
334
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,960
Bring back a ledger,
335
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,360
and bring her back too.
336
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,280
Father!
337
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,920
Father!
338
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,480
{\an8}PEARL TOWER
339
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,160
Fire!
340
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,400
- Come put out the fire!
- Come on. This way.
341
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,560
Come put out the fire!
342
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,640
- Hurry and put out the fire!
- No.
343
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,240
- Over here!
- Let's go that way!
344
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,800
There!
345
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:19,720
Stop right there!
346
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:20,680
Stop running! Hurry.
347
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,360
I didn't kill him.
348
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,880
Duanwu did!
349
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,640
Everyone's just looking out
for themselves.
350
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,000
- Duanwu, you're no different!
- Let's go. Come on!
351
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,880
- Duanwu!
- If you don't leave, you'll die here too!
352
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,320
It was a nice building.
353
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,120
It's a shame to see it burn.
354
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,360
Everything the Cui family has touched
355
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:57,760
is tainted.
356
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,080
{\an8}PEARL TOWER
357
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,840
- Stop right there!
- Stop running!
358
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,600
- Stop!
- Over there!
359
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,080
Come back!
360
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,480
They're over there! Go after them!
361
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,440
- Let's go!
- Hurry.
362
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,400
- Freeze!
- Come on!
363
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,160
Stop right there!
364
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,280
- Freeze! Stop running!
- Don't run!
365
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:29,240
Stop right there!
366
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Freeze! Stop!
367
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,560
- Stop!
- Stop running!
368
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,040
Stop! Stop running!
369
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,240
Freeze!
370
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,160
Come on.
371
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,760
- That way. Let's go!
- Stop running!
372
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:39,960
Hurry!
373
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,280
- Stop them!
- This way!
374
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:44,280
- Stop!
- Come on!
375
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:45,720
Don't let them escape!
376
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,360
This way!
377
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,280
Freeze!
378
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,560
- Hurry!
- Stop her!
379
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:52,640
Hurry up!
380
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:53,800
Faster!
381
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:56,480
The boat's here. Get on!
382
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,280
Why are you helping me?
383
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,200
Because I'm your mother!
384
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,000
Now go. Hurry!
385
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,840
Wait. What did you say?
I don't understand.
386
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,960
- Wait!
- Get on the boat, now!
387
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,120
Just do as I say!
388
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,320
What trick are you trying to pull?
389
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,680
Sweetheart,
390
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,480
I really am your mother.
391
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:29,840
Your adoptive father's surname is Wei.
392
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,560
He later had a daughter named Xiazhi.
393
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,840
Before you were taken to the pearl farm,
394
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:37,120
you were supposed to leave with them.
395
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,360
I arranged everything
396
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,000
so they could take you away,
397
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,400
but you were still captured
and brought to the farm.
398
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,560
It's an honor to be a pearl diver.
399
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,560
You'll have food, drink,and a comfortable life.
400
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,800
What more do you want? Take her away!
401
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,800
I tried everything I could
402
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,480
to help you escape, but nothing worked.
403
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,200
My dear daughter,
404
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,200
it's my fault.
405
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,600
This was the only way I could protect you.
406
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,160
Sweetheart,
407
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,520
I'm so sorry.
408
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,120
My dear daughter…
409
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,560
- Stop there!
- Come on!
410
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:30,800
Don't leave!
411
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,320
Stop right there!
412
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,240
Hurry!
413
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,480
Hurry!
414
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,240
This was left by your father.
415
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,040
Keep it safe, and go find him
in the Western Regions.
416
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,560
Remember, sweetheart,
go to the Western Regions to find him.
417
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,880
- Shrimp, hurry.
- Duanwu.
418
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,400
Get your sister out of here.
419
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,040
- Duanwu.
- I'll hold them off.
420
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,800
- Let's go, Duanwu!
- Wait!
421
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,000
Wait! Hold on!
422
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,680
Come with me.
423
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:01,160
Come with me!
424
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,000
- I'll hold them off.
- Come with me!
425
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,200
- I'll hold them off!
- Come with me.
426
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,640
Come with me.
427
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,560
Come with me.
428
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,840
If you don't go now, it'll be too late.
429
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,840
Come with me, please.
430
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,880
Alright,
431
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:24,880
I'll go with you.
432
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,400
I'll go with you.
433
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,200
- Let's go.
- Hurry!
434
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,280
They're up ahead!
435
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,960
- Stop them!
- Hurry!
436
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,640
- Stop them!
- Stop right there!
437
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,160
- Duanwu, hurry!
- Duanwu!
438
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,800
- Come on!
- Stop them!
439
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:37,800
- Hurry!
- Catch her!
440
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,200
Over there!
441
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,520
- Stop right there!
- Hurry!
442
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:44,440
Stop!
443
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,240
Hurry, Shrimp! Row the boat!
444
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,560
Hurry!
445
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,080
Hurry!
446
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,280
Hurry!
447
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,840
Row the boat, Shrimp!
448
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,480
They're right over there!
449
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,240
- Leave! Go! Go now!
- Stop there!
450
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,800
My dear daughter,
451
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,120
survive.
452
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,080
You must survive.
453
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,680
Don't go.
454
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,720
Yu, I'm not leaving.
455
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,440
- If I leave, you're coming with me.
- You're pregnant.
456
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:52,680
Return to Hepu first.
457
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,080
I wonder if the master and the others are…
458
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,040
They'll be fine.
459
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,520
You must take care of our child.
460
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,360
Yu!
461
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,880
Steward Yan has returned.
462
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:02,880
He said everyone
in the Yan family had died
463
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,400
and that the Cui family
owned the pearl farm now.
464
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,200
What should we do, Lady Yan?
465
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,960
Lady Yan! Are you alright, Lady Yan?
466
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,080
Listen up!
467
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,560
This pearl farm
now belongs to the Cui family!
468
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:23,720
Defy us,
469
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,600
and you'll end up like this!
470
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,200
Do you hear me?
471
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,440
Lady Yan, why did you do this?
472
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,920
This is the only way
473
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,760
I can bring her into this world safely
474
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,560
and protect her.
475
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,960
I don't want her to end up a pearl diver.
476
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,440
She was born on the fifth day
of the fifth month.
477
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,200
I'll name her Duanwu.
478
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,280
Please,
promise me you'll take good care of her.
479
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,360
- Rest assured.
- Rest assured.
480
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,200
Duanwu.
481
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,280
Duanwu.
482
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,320
Your name?
483
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,200
My name is Zhaohua.
484
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,680
Your name? Speak up!
485
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,720
My… My name is Duanwu.
486
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:15,000
The pearl… Duanwu,
487
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,159
I think someone picked up the pearl
Lady Eight gave you!
488
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:30,520
Let's go.
489
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,320
The ledger has been delivered.
490
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,719
This pearl farm in Hepu
is a den of filth and corruption.
491
00:34:56,639 --> 00:34:57,640
This ledger
492
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,240
should make a fine gift for Prince Ying.
493
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,120
Prince Ying and Prince Tan
are locked in fierce conflict.
494
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,760
If Zhang Jinran could truly expose
495
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,320
Prince Tan's embezzlement
of the tribute pearls,
496
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,440
the Cui family would be doomed.
497
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:10,920
This is just the beginning.
498
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,000
Did you find the person
I asked you to locate?
499
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,080
Not yet.
500
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,360
Leave two people here to keep looking.
501
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,440
Understood.
502
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,800
Is the illness acting up again?
503
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,600
It's nothing.
504
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:37,560
Put it out!
505
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,040
Hurry. Get more people to help!
506
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,240
- Yes, sir.
- Hurry!
507
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:44,400
Duanwu didn't start this fire.
508
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,960
The Pearl Tower and the pearl farm
caught fire at the same time.
509
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,600
Someone must have planned this in advance.
510
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,120
- There's more fire over there!
- How are the books?
511
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,000
The counting house burned down.
512
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,400
The account books
are probably all destroyed.
513
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,320
Good.
514
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:57,480
It's better they're burned.
515
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,400
How should we explain this to the master?
516
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,120
Steward Cui,
517
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,240
Master Shijiu's ship is about to dock.
518
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,360
What's she doing here?
519
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,520
Could she be here for her dowry?
520
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,920
That girl
always dresses like a man.
521
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,840
I doubt she's here for a dowry.
522
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:16,200
She's here to deal with me!
523
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,840
CUI
524
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,920
This year, the farm
produced 43 Qizhen pearls
525
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,000
and 2.3 sheng of small pearls.
526
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,080
Among the tribute pearls, there are
ten Qizhen and nine Babao pearls.
527
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,320
We also have 5.3 sheng of smooth pearls
and 11.2 sheng of rolling pearls.
528
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:28,480
- Altogether--
- I recall
529
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:32,600
that last year, we had 56 Qizhen pearls
and three sheng of small pearls.
530
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,240
Among the tribute pearls, there were
12 Qizhen pearls and 12 Babao pearls.
531
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,920
Why is there so much less this year?
532
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,240
{\an8}LEDGER
533
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:50,840
Cui Ding really treats Cui's Pearl Farm
534
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,560
like it's his own,
535
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,080
scheming at every turn.
536
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,720
Master Shijiu, with so many merchants
attending the pearl auction,
537
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,480
there isn't a dock available right now.
538
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,240
I ask for your patience, sir.
539
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,600
Outrageous!
540
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,000
How dare you make my master wait?
541
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,080
I wouldn't dare,
542
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,320
- but…
- Just dock.
543
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,040
Dock the ship.
544
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,440
But there are small boats everywhere.
545
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,400
Sink anyone who stands in the way.
I don't care if they live or die.
546
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,880
Get moving. Stop bothering my master.
547
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,360
Why are you still standing here?
548
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,200
Hurry up and do it, now!
549
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:51,640
Duanwu!
550
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,880
We're safe, Duanwu!
551
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,680
Wake up, Duanwu!
552
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,120
Duanwu?
553
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,000
Hold it here.
554
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,760
Move this finger down.
555
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,320
Yes, grip it tightly here.
556
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,880
Lower your hand a bit.
557
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:19,040
Sit up straight. Relax your shoulders.
558
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,840
You moved it there again.
You made the same old mistake.
559
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,040
How many times have I told you?
Should you have moved it here?
560
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,120
{\an8}Three ge from the old stock,
561
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,360
plus three ge newly collected.
562
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,160
What's the total?
563
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:44,760
You are lucky
564
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:45,800
to come back alive.
565
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,080
Have the medicine.
566
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,720
You must always be fully prepared.
567
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,880
Some things can be useful
when the time is right.
568
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:29,400
Who sent this?
569
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,000
When we were rushing to escape the fire,
someone bumped into me.
570
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,800
Later, I found this ledger in my bag.
571
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,640
This ledger
details the pearl farm's harvest,
572
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:40,480
but it's vastly different
from the tribute pearl records.
573
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,240
What should we do next?
574
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,400
We have material evidence
but no witnesses.
575
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,560
Anyone could've written these accounts.
576
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,400
Now that the Pearl Tower is destroyed,
577
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,440
the pearl farm could use this opportunity
to cover up their crime.
578
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,560
Cui Ding has probably
figured out your identity, sir.
579
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,280
Who could be pocketing the money
580
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:03,720
from the private sale of tribute pearls?
581
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,120
I doubt Cui's Pearl Farm
582
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,880
would have the nerve
to commit this crime alone.
583
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,240
Cui Ding is definitely a key player.
584
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,000
Keep a close watch on Cui's Pearl Farm.
585
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,200
Yes, sir.
586
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,200
That ship is heading straight
for the docks,
587
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:24,600
and there's a small boat in its path.
588
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:26,720
This is not good.
589
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,240
Duanwu, wake up! A ship's coming our way!
590
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,000
Stay back! There's a boat here!
591
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,320
Duanwu, wake up!
592
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,720
Don't come any closer!
593
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:39,640
CUI
594
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:43,000
Stay back!
595
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,160
Duanwu!
596
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:45,760
Stay away!
597
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,040
Help!
598
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,480
- Is anyone there?
- Someone's fallen overboard.
599
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,160
- Du Ming, rescue them!
- Help!
600
00:40:58,240 --> 00:40:59,400
Yes, sir.
601
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,440
Greetings, Lady Shijiu.
602
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:31,800
Outrageous!
603
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,400
How dare you
keep Master Shijiu waiting this long?
604
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,680
Master Shijiu, welcome to Hepu.
605
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,160
Please forgive me for being late.
606
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,320
I heard you'd be getting married soon.
607
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,080
Have you come to prepare your dowry?
608
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,320
I see that you're here
on behalf of the master, Master Shijiu.
609
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,080
Are this year's tribute pearls ready?
610
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,960
They were all prepared
and stored in the Pearl Tower.
611
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,640
But there was a terrible fire today,
612
00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:07,680
and now the Pearl Tower
is nothing but rubble.
613
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,920
It was truly a man-made disaster.
614
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,360
There was a defiant slave
on the pearl farm named Duanwu.
615
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,600
She secretly seduced Peng Wu,
616
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,720
and somehow, she not only killed him
617
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,640
but also colluded with Lady Eight
to burn down the entire Pearl Tower!
618
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,960
May I ask, Steward Cui,
have you caught them?
619
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,120
We're working on it.
620
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,200
Once Duanwu is caught,
everything will come to light.
621
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,240
I don't care about the truth.
622
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,960
Not a single pearl can be missing.
623
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,400
But how could I possibly
get so many pearls now?
624
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,880
Even if we have to cut you up
and sell the pieces,
625
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,600
the job must be done.
626
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,240
Otherwise,
627
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,960
I'll throw you into the ocean
to feed the sharks.
628
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,240
Would you prefer that, Steward Cui?
629
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,120
Sir, there's a problem with the gold leaf.
630
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,280
It's fake.
631
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:08,560
This was left by your father.
632
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,000
Go find him in the Western Regions.
633
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,960
Duanwu, you're awake!
634
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:15,440
You finally woke up!
635
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:17,880
Duanwu, we've made it.
636
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,680
Mr. Zhang saved us.
637
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,480
We're on his ship now.
638
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:22,760
He said he knew you.
639
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:26,800
Duanwu, come on.
640
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,000
Drink this.
641
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:31,280
By the way, Duanwu,
642
00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:35,160
Lady Eight left this for you.
643
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,640
She was the one who told me
to wait for you by the shore.
