Delicious!

Old man,

I heard you persuaded Madam Wang to confess at the administrative office.

You seem quite clear-headed now.

Do you recall anything about your family?

My mind is completely blank.

How would I have that ability?

It's all thanks to Miss He.

I heard the county magistrate was dismissed from his post.

Someone reported his cover-up of an unjust case to higher authorities.

That's how it is.

Another strange case has happened.

Again?

What strange case?

When the children's bodies were found in these regions,

it was found that

their arms or legs were missing.

(Anyang County)

Why does the place I marked

match your map?

I don't know.

This...

Maybe this is just my way home.

How could it be such a coincidence that they are exactly the same route?

Your mind is always filled with cases.

You suspected me earlier, and now you suspect our benefactor.

It's endless.

I decided to follow the benefactor,

repay his kindness and return his money until he finds his family.

It's up to you whether to come along or not.

I'm going!

I can get good food by following the old man.

Speaking of that,

you've saved the benefactor,

but you become even more indebted to him.

Along the way,

he sold his belongings,

and spent a lot of money.

You all should know it well.

I was even worried you'd all run away.

Don't worry.

I'd definitely pay him money, and repay his kindness.

Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep.

It's just a small act.

- Miss He, eat it. - Just a small act.

Who's crying? Nonsense!

Who's there?

Stop!

Who is it?

Who?

Who?

Li Er!

Return my head!

Huang Santai! Return my head!

(Anyang County, Xingrong County)

(Hefty Reward) 200 taels.

They're offering this much money to exorcise the ghost?

Let's go together.

So, we can earn money

and pay the travel expenses

back to the old man.

No need.

Offering so much money...

There must be some huge trouble behind it.

With your physique, you better don't take up the trouble.

What's there to fear? We can make money if nothing happens.

If something happens,

we'll investigate it.

Watch your step!

Have the masters arrived?

Yes.

Hurry up!

Father.

(Baron Li, Li Shaoren) All the masters within a ten-mile radius

who can exorcise and connect with the ghosts are here now.

Masters,

please stop for a moment.

Stop for a moment.

Please stop, everyone.

I believe

you're all aware of the situation of my Li family.

Over the past two years, the ghosts have frequently appeared in my mansion.

Just a few days ago,

it appeared right in front of me.

Baron.

Look,

every time I kill a ghost,

I leave a scar on my body.

As long as you provide enough...

I mean...

Enough allowance.

I can

add another scar.

Stop! Stop!

There are just a bunch of con artists!

Let's leave here.

Hold on. I can smell the steamed buns. Let's leave after the mealtime.

You're always about food.

Baron, you need to be discerning.

Don't let some schemers

sneak in here.

Even actors from the theater troupes

are pretending to exorcise ghosts.

Perhaps the feng shui of this mansion will be disrupted.

It's obvious there's greater yin energy here.

Be careful not to attract something unwanted.

Watch carefully.

My blood

can exorcise all evil spirits!

You're ruining

the props we use for performing.

This blood pouch is expensive!

Hmm...

Everyone,

I don't care who you are.

Within ten days, whoever first

helps me expel the evil spirit

will receive 200 taels of silver as a token of appreciation.

The baron has prepared the rooms for all of you. Meals and accommodations are included.

Everything is covered.

Where is the Inquisitor Song, Song Ci?

Take me to him!

Who?

Who are you talking about?

I don't know him.

The old man who was with you earlier during the day.

Which room is he staying in?

This mansion is so large,

and I've seen plenty of men.

I can't recall.

Do you believe I'll kill you?

It's Baron Du, a guest at the mansion.

He wants to take me as his concubine, but he can't afford the silver.

I told him not to bother me.

Stop playing fool with me!

Who's sneaking around the Li Mansion?

Miss, are you all right?

Father! Mother!

I don't want to die.

I still have so many wishes.

Uncle, won't you save us?

Had a nightmare?

Are you still worried

about the headless ghost case

at the Li Mansion?

I dreamt about childhood memories.

I couldn't figure out an answer,

or uncover the truth.

Do you still remember

those childhood events?

When I was six, I was kidnapped.

After that, I wandered from place to place.

I've long forgotten where my home was.

That's why you got this lotus-shaped scar after being kidnapped?

Along the way,

I've been dazed.

When I woke up, I would be...

If I had met you back then,

I would have given my life to protect you.

What are you two doing awake at midnight?

Let's sleep.

Alright, sleep.

Thank you, Miss Tang, for saving me.

Miss, there's no need to mention it.

(Maid, Tang Wan) Since there were intruders here,

it was only right for us to step in.

It's late. Rest early.

Benefactor,

I was held hostage by someone in black.

Were you in any danger?

Did he trouble Miss He?

Fortunately, Miss Tang passed by and helped me escape.

I've caused you trouble.

Benefactor, don't say that.

At least they won't allow the intruders

to run wild in the Li Mansion.

For now, we're still safe.

This journey is tough.

After this,

I'll find a better place soon.

Benefactor,

I didn't want to say thank you, because in this world,

'thank you' is the lightest word.

I will prove this through my actions

that there's kindness and justice in this world.

The journey ahead is uncertain.

It's inconvenient to take you with me.

If you're worried I can't endure the hardship,

do you think

life could be harder

than when I lived in a theater?

Now that I've escaped that prison,

I want to see this vibrant world.

But, how do you know traveling with me

will lead to a smoother path?

I could just tell it now.

You can't bear to see a woman cry.

You must have a kind heart.

So, traveling together

must be a smooth path.

Benefactor, since you need to keep a low profile,

I'll cover for you.

It will only benefit

whatever you seek to do.

Wipe away your tears first.
