[The Autumn Ballad]

[Episode 8]

Don't thrash about.

It hurts.

I'm telling you!

If you hadn't gone to steal, would this terrible punishment happen to you?

From what I see, you deserve it!

If I hadn't feigned unconsciousness, I would be beaten to death by her!

That sister of yours

is using all effort to make Second Madam happy.

How could she spare time to care about our lives?

Why is she here?

Send her away!

Why are you here?

This Jade medicinal powder from vassal states is rare.

One spoonful thrice a day applied to the wound,

he will fully recover in a few days.

Madam, please take this to use on Rong'er.

I don't want her things!

You heard him.

He doesn't want your things.

Miss, your efforts are to gain favor of the powerful now.

Your brother is a thief; I'm the mother of one.

So I won't trouble you to care about us.

If you don't want it, Madam, gift it to another.

Madam, if you do care about Rong'er, be more strict.

If he didn't steal to impress a woman,

no one could punish him.

Hey! Have your wings hardened now? (You became bold.)

Now, are you lecturing your mother?

As if I'd leave a precious item and not use it.

I'm not an idiot!

[Distant Waves of Ice and Snow]

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

How will you compensate me then?

Qin Xuan? Why are you here?

How could I let you endanger yourself alone?

Since you venture out of the manor to investigate,

I must fully protect you.

After all, this involves us both.

But you snuck out.

If your family found out, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire?

It's no bother. Worse comes to worst, I'll go home and admit fault.

Don't worry. I'm quite favored at home.

That day was nothing more than my father's momentary impatience.

Normally, they always comply with me.

Where is Qing Dai? [As Loyal as a Subject] [Distant Waves of Ice and Snow]

It's hard to predict fortunes and dangers of this trip.

I don't want to drag others in.

If I didn't come, do you plan on blindly going yourself out there?

Now, isn't it perfect I have your company?

What plan do you have then? Where do we start our search?

Have you eaten?

These wonton dumplings are even better than my home chef's.

If others hear this,

they'll think Young Master of Duke of Ying Manor has only this diligence.

We ate and drank. Time is of the essence.

Let's hurry and start now.

This is the fake note I found in Qiu Manor.

This note's quality seems no different from a real one.

It is worlds better than a regular fake note.

Indeed.

I believe we must first locate the source of this fake note.

According to the law,

printing fake notes is committing fraud against the Emperor,

exterminating an entire family.

With such a heavy punishment,

the seller wouldn't distribute these to strangers.

In other words, if we can find the seller, we will be able to ask

who in Qiu Family bought fake notes.

That's reasonable!

The capital's west market is most lively and bustling.

That place has many people. We should gather info there first.

- No need... - Boss.

- Two bowls of wonton dumplings. - Got it.

Pay the bill.

Boss.

All right.

I brought you here, firstly, to eat wonton dumplings.

Secondly, to investigate the case.

"Investigate the case"?

I understand!

On the outside, the store seems a wonton restaurant,

but is secretly distributing fake bank notes.

No.

Let me ask, if you had a fake note, would you buy things in the west market?

Small traders exchange nothing more than some copper coins or silvers.

They may never come into contact with a silver note once a year.

If I whip out this note worth a hundred taels,

none of them will accept it.

Exactly.

If you want to spend this fake note, you must find

a place constantly using large amounts of silver notes in trading.

It's best if you can spend multiples together.

Mixing real and fake notes is the best way undetected.

Didn't you say we won't leave?

This is the capital's most famous gambling house.

It opens at 9 p.m. and closes the next day at 7 a.m.

How do you know everything?

I'm almost useless now.

A good official never fights a battle unprepared.

I asked a gambling addict from the manor before coming.

We can't waste time. Let's hurry and look inside.

Who said we would go into such a place?

Then...

[Ruyi Gambling House]

Boss, I'm putting the money here.

All right. All right.

Boss. Can I ask something?

Go ahead.

Do you know if this gambling house

has ever caught any clients who used fake notes?

This kind of thing is too common!

It happens once or twice per month.

It's always those gamblers who lose all and are intent to regain.

Mister, I'm sure many of those gamblers are regular customers who eat your wontons, right?

Yes.

Can you take us to meet any of them?

"Any of them"?

[Joss Paper (burned as offerings) Store]

This is the capital's biggest fake notes distributor.

They are backed by one who works in Feng Capital Prefecture.

A joss paper store.

This really is a great cover.

Backed by Feng Capital Prefecture too?

No wonder they fear nothing.

I don't know why you two want to come here, but let me advise you two

not to do anything rash.

Mainly, don't let anyone know I showed you this place.

Thank you, Brother, for your warning. Rest assured.

Sorry.

My friend here told me I can't pay you.

If we give you money, you'll just use it to gamble more.

We talked to the wonton stall owner already.

For a year, you get two bowls of wontons daily for free.

Stop gambling.

Get yourself together within a year.

I'm Yao Gai. I frequent this area a lot.

If you need me in future, let me know.

This person's demeanor doesn't seem a beggar.

Beggars next to the gambling house are gamblers.

I bet he was once a refined young master.

What should we do now?

If we ask directly, I fear they won't admit anything.

Look for a chance to act.

Customers!

Do you offer ancestor sacrifices or conduct a funeral?

Offer sacrifices. We'd like to buy joss paper.

Joss papers.

We have gold paper, silver paper, and yellow paper.

Which type do you want?

All of them.

How much money's worth?

I'd like to know how many I can get with a 100-tael silver note.

Shopkeeper!

Gentlemen, how many ancestors do you need to sacrifice for?

Surely you can't use so much joss paper, right?

Don't worry about that.

Just quickly prepare what we want.

Please excuse me.

Unfortunately, we don't have so much in stock now.

You'd best check another shop.

It's fine. I'll buy whatever you have now.

But we must save some for our regulars of many years.

We can't sell everything out.

How strange. How could a businessman in this world turn down such good business?

We're a small business. Please understand.

Boy. Quickly escort both customers out.

You two, please.

What if I say I don't want to use money for the dead,

but money for the living to spend?

If you want silver notes, you should go to a bank.

I wish I could help, but I can't.

Truth be told.

We had a streak of bad luck in the gambling house,

and are now laden with debt.

If we don't pay by the deadline,

we might lose our lives.

We found our way here since we had no other option.

I know you have your rules and difficulties,

but please bend the rules.

Consider you'd be saving us two.

All right, all right.

As the saying goes,

"Saving a life equals a seven-story Buddhist tower."

You can earn a 14-story one here now!

If you help us survive this hardship, you will be our

savior!

All right.

Since you put it that way, if I don't help you,

it will be inappropriate of me.

Well, follow me to have a detailed talk inside.

Please.

Shopkeeper! What are you doing now?

Little Girl, you're good at lying. Unluckily,

your voice and appearance miss a little something.

You said you were losing gamblers,

but the jade trinket this gentleman has on his waist

is enough to buy a small gambling house.

What do you want?

Who are you actually? What are you planning?

What? Do you want to fight back?

I'm not strong, but I am still capable enough

to send you to the afterlife.

We only want to talk business. We don't want to fight.

Didn't you ask me who I was?

Carefully read what's engraved upon this jade ornament. [Duke of Ying Manor]

"Duke of Ying Manor."

I...

Yes. I'm Second Young Master of Duke of Ying Manor, Qin Xuan.

A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.

Follow me.

From Pomelo Alley, Qiu Manor,

has anyone bought 3000 taels worth of fake silver notes?

As I said, I don't know anyone from Qiu Family.

I really don't dare lie to you.

Is it possible someone sells as a middleman?

Well, this fake note must've been sold by you, right?

Can you check whom you sold it to?

Sorry, we can't search for such a thing.

This fake note wasn't produced by our business at all.

What?

The fake notes we issue only go up to ten taels at most.

But 3,000 taels?

If our business dared print such a huge amount,

no matter the government official, none would dare support us.

And look at the fake note.

From the engraving precision to paper quality,

it's way superior to our business.

No, you're lying.

If you didn't print this, why when I gave it to you earlier,

you recognized it was fake with just one glance?

To prevent fake notes from returning to our own hands,

our engraving master puts a special mark on notes that only our people recognize.

Although we didn't print this fake note,

its mark is exactly the same as ours.

So your business' engraving master is suspicious.

Our engraving master is named Xiao Tie.

He left us half a year ago.

I originally thought he'd end this work, but now it seems he found a new employer.

I can tell you where he lives.

Hurry over! Hurry!

How come it's you?

I'm here investigating.

- Why are you here? - I'm also investigating!

You're here seeking suicide then.

It hurts! It hurts!

I messed up.

Song Jin?

Liang Yi?

- Qin Xuan, are you all right? - I'm fine.

You two...

Did you move the stones from there?

I only took them to defend myself!

Song Jin!

Stay right here. Don't move.

Go. We need to find them as well!

What are you doing?

Everyone, run!

They are here following orders to remove the homeless!

Fight them!

The government won't give us a way to live. Fight them!

Fight them!

Fight them!

Fight!

Fight for money!

Giving out money!

Move aside.

Fight for money!

Come!

Let me go, or I'll strangle him to death!

I say, by your age, you likely have children, right?

I'm saying if you have a child, I'll find him after you're dead

and make him suffer worse than death.

Don't bluff!

I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Firewood Office's Liang Yi.

I don't know if you heard of it.

My biggest strength is that I always deliver

my word.

Surely you didn't kill him!

He probably just fainted from the pain. He should wake up soon.

What a waste of dexterous hands.

I had to use extra effort because of you.

Young Master Qin, it's your first time seeing Firewood Office work on a case, isn't it?

Liang Yi, what if your throw had deviated just now?

Do you know how important he is to us?

It's fine. I have 70% confidence.

Isn't there still 30% left?

I'm not a god. I did my best.

By the way, why were you entering a suspect's hideout?

So you two are investigating the fake silver notes, too.

It took you only half a day to locate Xiao Tie's home.

Yes.

If you won't believe my words, Lord Liang, take us back to Firewood Office.

I told your father about the fake notes

to quickly gather money to replace the deficit and avoid incrimination.

It wasn't to make his own daughter investigate the case.

If you, Lord Liang, didn't drag me down further, I'd extract myself long ago.

I'd have no reason to meddle in this.

"Drag you down further"?

Yesterday, I had the chance to escape the house, but I ran into Lord Liang,

who cordially sent me back to the shed.

Liang Yi, you clearly know my matter with Qiu Yan, yet you...

Are we even friends?

If I didn't consider you a friend, I wouldn't meddle in this.

But it's precisely due to your meddling

that Qiu Yan was forced to promise Old Madam Qiu

she would identify the Qiu Family thief in three days.

Or Qiu Yan will be married off to a widower.

Seems you found another opportunity.

Should I say you're a stubborn pest or relentless?

Truly, I'm kind of impressed by you.

Then I must thank you very much, Lord Liang,

for telling my father about the fake silver notes.

That's how I found my chance.

The point is we've nothing to say to you.

Just let us properly talk with Xiao Tie.

He's our only clue now.

What a coincidence. Xiao Tie is my only clue now, too.

Unauthorized personnel have no right to question Firewood Office's suspect.

Liang Yi, don't cross a line!

Let's not mention the past for now.

Lord Liang, if you're investigating fake notes as well,

how about we work together?

Just like we did with He Family last time.

This way, Qin Xuan and I can get what we're after

and you, Lord Liang, can close the case earlier.

I'm sure before His Majesty, it will be another merited achievement.

Don't think I don't know what you're planning.

You just want to use Firewood Office for your own goal.

Sadly, three days is your deadline,

not mine.

After I solve the case, I'll inform your father of the thief,

then ask to marry your younger sister.

I fear we won't meet again, Second Miss Qui.

Liang Yi, I'm begging you, all right?

I already asked Song Jin to send you back.

You snuck out in secret.

I'm sure your parents must be very concerned.

You...

I was the one who taught you martial arts.

So don't waste your energy.

As for you, Miss Qiu Yan, I won't interfere with your investigation in future.

Let's see how you mess around these three days.

Let's go, Song Jin.

Yes.

- What should we do now? - Hurry up.

Follow him.

There are assassins!

Careful, Qiu Yan!

Will you steal him away in the chaos?

You want to protect him; so do I.

What should we do now?

Watch out, Qiu Yan.

- Are you all right? - Yes.

- Xiao Tie fled. - Come back, Xiao Tie.

Qiu Yan! Qiu Yan!

- Qiu Yan, you're insane. - Where are you going?

Come back.

- Come back here now. - Qiu Yan!

Qiu-

They took advantage of our unpreparedness.

They didn't kill everyone.

Appears their target was Xiao Tie.

What should we do now, my lord?

Go back to Firewood Office and bring men.

Yes.

Now you've lost hope, right?

You'll be escorted back to your manor later.

Do not investigate the matter for the next three days.

I'll have my people watch all gates of Qiu Manor.

No.

Qiu Yan.

Liang Yi is right this once.

They dared set an ambush in the capital just to silence him.

The risk is surely nothing you and I can deal with.

Qin Xuan,

it was never easy to get chances that belong to me.

If I don't seize it, I have nothing.

Lord Liang, I saw the face of Xiao Tie's assassin.

For real?

What did he look like?

That depends if Your Lordship is willing to work with me or not.

What do you mean?

I can give you clues, and Lord Liang

must help me find the thief in my home,

in three days.

I won't accept things I cannot guarantee.

When investigating, just let me to stay by your side.

If you have any new clues, let me know,

and I'll share whatever I come up with.

We can discuss together.

After three days, if we still have no results,

I'll accept my bad luck and not blame you, Lord Liang.

Song Jin, cuff her and lock her in Firewood jail.

My lord, are you serious?

Liang Yi, Qiu Yan is not a criminal.

By what right to imprison her?

She came to the assassin's defense.

I suspect she colludes with assassins;

Firewood Office must question her further.

Fine. I'll follow you to the end.

Fine. If you have the ability, cuff me, too.

[Firewood Office]

The Firewood Office isn't so impressive.

I heard the rumors,

but it's my first time seeing it.

I brought two criminals.

Unlock Cell Number One.

Yes.

You two, go inside.

Is this your cell number one?

It's clearly a cage for animals!

Did you think you were staying in an inn?

- Go inside. - Hurry.

Inside!

Officer, you may be unaware of this,

but we're actually good friends with Lord Liang.

Enough nonsense.

- Watch them well. - Yes.

Officer!

I can't even stand up straight here.

Let's sit down for now.

If Liang Yi tortures me, don't stop him.

If he decides to be cruel, I fear he won't spare even you.

All right. I'll do as you say.

I won't stop him.

You don't truly think Liang Yi will torture us, right?

That kind of person can do anything!

Liang Yi and I grew up together.

Besides Song Jin, I fear I'm the second person who understands him best in the world.

Actually, before he led Firewood Office, he wasn't like this at all.

Back then, he was all for serving justice.

No one could be more righteous and compassionate than him.

Indeed.

In six years, all has changed.

How did you know he took his position at Firewood Office six years ago?

I guessed it.

The point is rest assured.

Liang Yi won't casually torture innocents.

He just wanted to scare you into yielding to him.

Are you saying he listens to persuasion but not coercion?

That's not right.

I begged him before.

He wasn't moved at all.

That's because he is prejudiced against you.

Honestly, he was most sympathetic to women back then.

You don't know, but his fear since he was a child

was seeing girls cry before him.

Do you still remember me?

You're that darn officer from the court.

Have mercy, Your Lordship.

I was just muddle-headed back then.

I'm not here to settle the score.

I need you to find someone for me.

Who are you looking for?

The old man who started the ruckus.

Fight them!

This is the place.

Where is he?

I don't know, either. He was here just now.

It seems we're late again.

That scoundrel.

He didn't leave one thing at all.

He sure is meticulous.

I have something of his.

Come with me.

You are good at hiding things.

It's this.

Why would you have that old man's possession?

I saw he held it and looked at it every day.

I thought it was precious

so I stole it when he didn't pay attention.

What do you want? I'll give you a reward.

No need. It's a present for you.

My lord.

It's just a wooden token.

What clue can it hold?

Before you open your mouth next time, try to use your...

Wooden brain first?

As long as you know.

My lord.

Miss Qiu Min requests an audience.

Greetings, Lord Liang.

Why are you here?

I need your help with something, Lord Liang.

Speak.

Please help us find Second Sister's whereabouts.

Qiu Yan?

Is she not in Qiu Manor?

My Lord, you don't know, but there's a thief in our house.

In order to find the truth, Second Sister left the manor alone this morning.

She didn't even bring Qing Dai with her.

I know Second Sister thinks more people makes it harder to investigate,

but my father is worried sick now.

We don't know where Second Sister is now.

How can this happen?

Well...

Although the capital is huge,

in broad daylight,

I'm sure she won't be in danger.

Serve Miss Qiu Min some tea.

I'll do it now.

Official Jin.

Young Master Qin.

Miss Qiu Yan.

Time to wake up.

Open the door.

I don't have the key.

- Grab it! - Yes.

Will you interrogate me now?

What interrogation?

My master just wanted to scare you two.

Scare us?

Then was it necessary to lock us in such a cage?

This was actually a bit of a misunderstanding.

What misunderstanding?

Anyway, you two shouldn't blame my master.

To be honest, he didn't just do this to scare you two,

he also did it to protect you.

Protect us?

Lord Liang, I didn't come here just to ask help to find Second Sister.

I also hope within three days, you can help her find a result.

So this favor is for her, not you.

Also, you can tell that your second sister and I have conflicts between us.

I know what I'm asking of you is inappropriate,

but she's my only real sister.

I just want her to be okay.

You're so gentle and kind, but your sister is cunning and rude.

Unfathomable.

Actually, what happened between Young Master Qin and her

is my fault.

In fact, the reason she took this risk was also due to me.

So I hope to help her through this difficulty.

I understand your feeling, but this is an investigation.

It's not as easy as you say.

Moreover, the deadline is three days.

Lord Liang, you're a talented person.

I'm sure you wouldn't watch my sister die without helping her.

If you are willing to help my sister, I will never forget it.

I'll repay your favor.

You're so willing to sacrifice for your sister.

But a favor is a favor.

As for other things, they are separate matters.

So have you agreed to my request?

Tell Lord Qiu that I will find Qiu Yan,

but I need her to cooperate with my case.

Thus, she won't return to Qiu Manor the next few days.

I'll find her a different place to stay.

This... this might be inappropriate.

If you want my aid, you must listen to me.

Xiao Tie's killer is meticulous and cruel.

If you saw his face, Miss Qiu Yan,

he naturally won't spare you.

If we let you return home, your family would be in danger.

So the safest place for you right now is Firewood Office,

especially this sturdy Number One cell.

Did Liang Yi tell you this?

No.

But in this world of who knows Lord Liang the best, I am second to none.

Who is there?

Then why don't you guess what I'm thinking now?

Master, it hurts.

It really hurts.

Shouldn't I be serving tea now? How did I forget?

- Open the door. - Yes.

You. Come out.

Where to?

Here I ask, you answer.

You have no right to ask questions.

Come out.

Qin Xuan, sorry.

- Stay here for now. - What?

- Lock the door. - Qin Xuan.

What do you mean by this, Liang Yi?

Liang Yi?

This is not the torture chamber.

Did you want to try it?

In that case, you're truly protecting me.

I'm trying to protect my only lead for now.

In my eyes, you're not much different from a Firewood Office scroll.

You are so good at separating private matters from work.

I must apologize to you.

I reflected upon myself in the cage.

If I were you, Lord Liang, and I saw my close friend

get seduced by an evil wench, I surely wouldn't sit and watch, either.

Nothing was wrong with what you did, Lord Liang.

The fault lies in me; I was born without charm.

So you're repulsed by me.

Carry on.

The more I think about it, the more your words make sense to me.

I am indeed unreasonable, and my actions are disobedient.

I am always harboring bad intentions.

I really am not compatible with Young Master Qin.

So I decided to stop pestering him.

From now on,

I'll cut ties with Young Master Qin completely.

For real?

Each word of mine is sincere.

Why didn't you say this in front of Qin Xuan then?

I already feel ashamed before you.

Even more before Young Master Qin.

So I don't dare tell Young Master Qin face-to-face.

Please when you escort Young Master Qin back

to the manor, relay the message.

Although I'm unworthy to marry into the Duke of Ying Manor,

I'm truly unwilling to become a concubine.

Lord Liang, can you consider how I saw the error of my ways in time

and help me get out of this predicament?

I will remember

your kindness forever. I will never forget.

Remember forever.

You truly are real sisters.

Lord, what do you mean?

Qiu Min came here just now.

Why did you look for Qiu Min?

What did you do to her?

You sound more normal like this.

Seems your impression of me didn't change much at all.

I'm warning you, Liang Yi.

Do not use me to blackmail Qiu Min.

I'd let the Qiu Family sell me to a brothel

before I let you destroy Min'er!

Likewise.

Instead of acting just now,

I much prefer you all bad-tempered like this.

And what you just said was very helpful.

Where is Min'er?

I want to see her now.

She left already. Besides, I need to point out one thing.

I didn't make her come here.

She came asking me for help to aid her hopeless sister.

Did she really say that?

You know I want to marry Qiu Min so I must agree to all her requests.

Plus, she also said she would never forget my favor

and would repay me one day.

Taking advantage of her weakness! Are you still a man?

If you want to badmouth me, return to the cage to do it!

Once you make up your mind, we can hurry to discuss the case.

Time is limited.

The first day is about to end.

How may I help, Your Lordship?

It's good you understand the situation.

Now can you finally tell me what that assassin looked like and what special characteristics he had?

That assassin...

is neither short or tall,

neither fat nor thin,

and his face was also very ordinary.

I'm warning you.

Don't play more tricks on me.

You and I are in the same boat already.

I won't deceive you at all anymore.

It's just that the world is full of living things.

How many extremely evil people would have an extremely evil face?

But if I see him again, I can certainly recognize him.

Are you saying I must keep you by my side then?

Actually,

I have another lead.

According to the words of Xiao Tie's previous employer,

the paper that the fake note uses

is no different from a real note.

And these special papers

are all under supervision of the Ministry of Revenue.

I already ran a background check

on all important and unimportant officials in the ministry

as well as government-owned paper workshops.

I found no abnormality.

Since we're working together, shouldn't you tell me

every clue Firewood Office has gathered so far?

Xiao Tie is already dead.

If I had any other lead, would I need you?

But didn't you just revisit Xiao Tie's abode?

Surely you had some findings.

How did you know I went back?

If I were you, I would do that, too.

Xiao Tie's abode was burned down already.

This was accidentally left by the person who spied on Xiao Tie.

Look. What do you think?

This wooden token isn't considered expensive.

But the craftsmanship is very good.

The edges are very smooth,

which means the owner held it, smoothing it often.

Is that all?

The flower engraved on this token is a Chinese peony.

Peony can be used for its beauty or as a medicinal herb.

I get it now.

This token was used to identify medicinal herbs.

It's most likely from an apothecary.

That's all you've got.

What can you deduct from it then?

To identify herbs, Chinese and tree peonies look alike, easy to mix up.

It's not as easy as engraving words.

And it's even less likely to toy with a medicinal token in their hands.

If he toyed with it often,

it's either a precious treasure

or a nostalgic keepsake of someone.

I get it now!

The flower represents someone.

What do you mean?

If I'm not mistaken,

this token was given to him by a woman.

And this woman very likely relates to Chinese peony.

Perhaps she liked them

or perhaps her name involves the plant.

But...

But if it were given by a woman, it should be something she uses a lot.

But you really can't figure out what use this girl would have for the token.

- Right? - Exactly.

I don't blame you.

Because the place such women live in is somewhere you've never been.

It's from a brothel.

My lord. The Feng Capital Prefecture replied.

Speak.

All the scrolls are here. Help yourself to them.

Since both of us came to the same conclusion,

why don't we dispatch people to search all brothels in the capital?

"Search all brothels in the capital"?

Do you know how many big and small brothels we have in the capital?

And how many more are not registered?

Don't be anxious, Miss Qiu Yan.

These scrolls document the opening date of all brothels.

We already know when Xiao Tie was due to go to the next one.

And now, we just need

to pay close attention to recently opened brothels.

So you prepared everything long ago.

And you said all that to test me, didn't you?

If you're here to help with the case, I can't bring an idiot with me.

We are lucky.

There's only one brothel.
